<title>Moscow Ranks Among the World’s Top Three Video Game Development Hubs</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/moscow-ranks-among-the-worlds-top-three-video-game-development-hubs</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/moscow-ranks-among-the-worlds-top-three-video-game-development-hubs</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

Moscow Game Hub scored 2.18 out of 3, sharing third place with
Sweden’s Game Habitat in Malmö in a ranking of gaming hubs by Russian
consultancy Yakov and Partners. Moscow received the maximum score of 3 for its
infrastructure. 

The ranking includes ten hubs across ten countries. Moscow ranked
ahead of hubs in South Korea, Spain, Singapore, India, Brazil and Germany. The
hubs ranked above Moscow were AD Gaming Hub in Abu Dhabi, with a score of 2.56,
and Shanghai’s Xuhui District, with 2.48. The findings were presented during
the business program of the second Moscow International Game Week,
taking place in Moscow from October 29 to November 1, 2026.

Moscow Game Hub covers 55,000 square meters. Its facilities include a
60-camera motion-capture studio that tracks facial expressions and finger
movements, photogrammetry and sound-recording studios, a viewing room with a
screen measuring nearly 800 square meters, and a data center.

Moscow Game Hub is now home to 74 resident companies: 61 game studios
and 13 animation studios. They account for one in five video game companies in
Moscow. Residents are currently developing more than 260 projects.

Moscow shared second place with Shanghai for studio support, scoring
2.31 out of 3. Residents can rent offices at preferential rates. Participants
in the Video Game Factory accelerator can use the hub’s coworking space for one
ruble per month, approximately 0.012 USD. The Moscow Video Game Export program
helps studios enter international markets through trade shows and business
missions. In 2025, Moscow studios signed 36 export contracts worth more than 12
million USD.

According to research by the Agency of Creative Industries, the global
video game market grew by 14% in 2025, reaching a record 202.5 billion USD.
Revenue generated by Russian companies rose by 16% to 2.56 billion USD.

Yakov and Partners prepared the ranking using seven criteria: resident
mix, infrastructure and access to computing capacity, studio support, talent
availability, quality of life and industry regulation. The resident mix carried
the greatest weight.

The analysts began with more than 100 sites and shortlisted 80 hubs
with their own buildings and resident studios, each covering no more than
300,000 square meters. They then selected 30 of the largest hubs across 17
countries. The final index included ten hubs, with one selected from each of
ten countries.

Moscow International Game Week
runs from October 29 to November 1. It is organized by the Agency of Creative
Industries under the Moscow Department of Culture. The event introduces
international audiences to Russian game and animation projects and to the
infrastructure that helps studios grow and enter overseas markets.

Department of Culture, supports the development of Moscow’s creative sectors,

<title>From Campaigns to AI&#45;Powered Growth: How AI Is Redefining Modern Marketing</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/from-campaigns-to-ai-powered-growth-how-ai-is-redefining-modern-marketing</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/from-campaigns-to-ai-powered-growth-how-ai-is-redefining-modern-marketing</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

Marketing is entering a new phase, where
competitive advantage depends not just on campaign creativity but on how
effectively organisations use technology, data and artificial intelligence to
understand customers and drive growth. Generative AI is accelerating content
creation, predictive analytics is helping marketers anticipate customer
behaviour, and Agentic AI is opening up new possibilities for automating
marketing workflows.

For businesses in India, the challenge is
no longer simply whether to adopt AI, but how to integrate it into marketing
strategies while delivering measurable outcomes and preserving customer trust.

According to Salesforce’s 2026 State of
Marketing research, 81% of marketers in India have adopted AI. Yet, fragmented
customer data and poor data quality continue to constrain AI-driven
personalisation. The findings highlight a growing gap between adopting AI and
using it effectively to improve customer engagement.

From Campaign Execution to Intelligent Customer Engagement

Generative AI and Agentic AI are changing
how marketing teams create content, execute campaigns and engage customers.
Their potential extends beyond faster production to more connected,
personalised customer experiences.

Key applications include:


 Content
     and campaign execution: Generative AI helps marketers develop content
     and campaign assets more efficiently, freeing up time for strategy and
     creative direction.
 Automated
     customer journeys: Agentic AI can coordinate tasks and workflows
     towards defined objectives, supporting personalised interactions across
     touchpoints.
 Data-led
     personalisation: CRM platforms, customer analytics and marketing
     automation help brands understand customer behaviour and tailor
     communications across acquisition, engagement and retention.
 Performance
     optimisation: Integrated data and analytics enable teams to evaluate
     campaign effectiveness, identify opportunities and make more informed
     marketing investments.


However, technology alone does not
guarantee better outcomes. Fragmented data, disconnected platforms and unclear
returns on investment can undermine implementation. Marketers must also balance
automation with customer privacy, responsible AI use and appropriate human
oversight.

Why Marketing Professionals Need to Bridge Strategy and Technology

As marketing becomes increasingly
data-driven, professionals need to combine traditional marketing expertise with
an understanding of AI, analytics and technology integration. This is
particularly important for managers responsible for growth strategy, customer
experience, marketing budgets and cross-functional transformation.

The priority is not adopting every emerging
tool, but understanding which technologies address specific business
challenges, how to integrate them into existing workflows and how to measure
their impact. These capabilities can help professionals move beyond campaign
execution towards broader, technology-enabled marketing leadership.

Building MarTech and AI Capabilities for the Next Phase of Marketing

Against this
backdrop, MICA’s  offers a learning pathway for marketing
professionals, digital marketers, brand managers, growth specialists and
business leaders looking to strengthen their AI-driven marketing capabilities.

The 26-week online programme combines
marketing strategy with practical exposure to the technologies reshaping
customer engagement. Its curriculum covers:


 MarTech
     strategy: Marketing technology platforms, CRM, customer lifecycle
     management, personalisation, retention and technology investments.
 Generative
     AI and Agentic AI: Applications in content creation, search, social
     media, email marketing, customer journeys and automated campaign
     workflows.
 Data-driven
     marketing: AI-powered insights, forecasting, audience targeting and
     pricing decisions.
 Emerging
     technologies and responsible adoption: Immersive marketing, privacy,
     security and the implications of evolving technologies.


The learning experience combines
pre-recorded faculty lectures with weekly live sessions led by industry
experts, industry use cases, mini-projects and assignments. Live demonstrations
of Generative AI and Agentic AI tools offer practical context for integrating
these technologies into marketing workflows.

A key component is the capstone project, in
which participants design a full-funnel, AI-powered MarTech stack spanning
customer acquisition, engagement, retention and loyalty. Participants also
receive MICA Executive Alumni Status.

Programme details:


 Start
     date: 22 December 2026
 Duration:
     26 weeks, online
 Weekly
     commitment: 4–6 hours
 Programme
     fee: ₹1,29,500 plus GST
 Eligibility:

<description><![CDATA[ 

Sonipat,
Haryana | 31st October,  2026:
On the
occasion of the 60th anniversary of Haryana’s formation, O.P. Jindal Global
University (JGU), Haryana’s first and only “Institution of Eminence”, announced
the launch of the inaugural World Ideas Forum, to be held from 23–25 January
2027 at its campus in Sonipat under the theme “Where the World’s Ideas
Meet”. 

Conceived as an annual global
gathering, the Forum will bring together leaders from public life,
universities, business, science, technology, the arts and civil society to
exchange ideas and explore responses to the defining challenges of our time.

Established on 1 November 1966,
Haryana enters its seventh decade with an opportunity to build upon its
achievements and imagine new possibilities for its future. The World Ideas
Forum represents JGU’s commitment to contributing to that next chapter:
strengthening Haryana’s emergence as a destination for knowledge, creativity,
international dialogue and intellectual exchange. At the heart of this
initiative is an ambitious vision for Sonipat—a city that welcomes the world
and helps shape its conversations.

The announcement connects a
significant milestone in Haryana’s history with an investment in its future. As
the state celebrates 60 years, JGU seeks to demonstrate how a university can
contribute beyond its classrooms: by convening diverse perspectives,
encouraging collaboration and creating a public platform through which ideas
can inform institutions, policy and society.

Mr.
Naveen Jindal, Founding Chancellor and Benefactor of O.P. Jindal Global University, said: “Haryana’s 60th
anniversary is an occasion to celebrate the enterprise, determination and
aspirations of its people, and to look ahead with renewed ambition. The state’s
leadership in agriculture, industry and sport offers a strong foundation for
its next chapter as a centre of education, innovation and knowledge. We
established O.P. Jindal Global University with the conviction that a
world-class university in Haryana could create opportunities for India while
engaging deeply with the world. The World Ideas Forum carries that conviction
forward. By bringing global voices to Sonipat, we hope to contribute to
Haryana’s future and enable its young people to participate in conversations
that will shape the decades ahead.”

A Global
Gathering Rooted in a University

Under the tagline “Where the
World’s Ideas Meet,” the World Ideas Forum will provide a multidisciplinary,
non-partisan platform for dialogue across countries, cultures, professions and
generations. Its university setting will place intellectual inquiry, evidence,
respectful disagreement and openness to new perspectives at the centre of the
gathering.

The inaugural edition will
explore questions at the intersection of governance, economic development,
education, science, technology, sustainability, culture and human well-being.
It will create opportunities to examine how societies can respond to
technological change, strengthen public institutions, expand opportunity and
prepare future generations for an increasingly interconnected world.The
programme is envisaged to include keynote addresses, leadership dialogues,
fireside conversations, public lectures, literary discussions, book launches
and cultural performances. Innovation and start-up showcases, student debates,
policy simulations and exhibitions spanning art, music, theatre and design will
connect intellectual exchange with creativity and practical experimentation.

This breadth reflects the
Forum’s central premise: the challenges confronting the world require
conversations across disciplines and experiences. Scientists and artists,
policymakers and entrepreneurs, scholars and students each bring insights that
can deepen understanding and open new possibilities for action.

Professor
(Dr.) C. Raj Kumar, Founding Vice Chancellor of O.P. Jindal Global University, said: “The World Ideas Forum
is founded on a simple but powerful belief: a world of ideas can help us
imagine and build a better world. Universities have a responsibility to create
spaces where people can think freely, listen carefully, question assumptions
and learn across differences. Our vision is to bring the world to Sonipat and
connect the ideas emerging here with conversations everywhere. As Haryana marks
60 years of its formation, we want to contribute an institution of dialogue
that looks beyond the immediate moment and engages with the possibilities of
the coming decades. The Forum will place young people at the heart of this
endeavour, enabling them to encounter diverse perspectives and develop the
imagination, judgment and sense of responsibility needed to shape our shared
future.”

Building
an Enduring Platform for Ideas

The World Ideas Forum is
conceived as a continuing institution, with successive editions building
relationships and sustaining conversations beyond the annual gathering.

Its proposed signature
initiatives include the World Ideas Lecture, Wo ]]></description>

<title>nyvo Aims to Make Fee&#45;Only Financial Advice Accessible to Indian Families</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/nyvo-aims-to-make-fee-only-financial-advice-accessible-to-indian-families</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/nyvo-aims-to-make-fee-only-financial-advice-accessible-to-indian-families</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

 The Bengaluru-based platform offers SEBI-registered, fee-only
investment advice for ₹999 a year, aiming to help Indian households align
investments, insurance and financial goals

Bengaluru, India: As Indian households increasingly participate in financial markets
through mutual funds and systematic investment plans (SIPs), managing
investments alongside insurance, savings and long-term financial commitments
remains a challenge. While access to financial products has expanded, many
families continue to make financial decisions in silos, without a consolidated
view of their goals, investments and protection needs.

Bengaluru-based nyvo aims to address this
gap as India’s only family finance platform, bringing investment planning,
insurance guidance and financial goals together in one place. Founded in
September 2025 by Harsh Soni, Founder and CEO, and Kshitij Jain, Co-founder and
COO, the platform is designed for families who have started investing but need
a clearer, more coordinated approach to managing their finances.

The idea emerged from the founders’ own
experiences navigating financial decisions for their families. Despite their
backgrounds in finance and fintech, they found that determining how much to
invest, selecting suitable financial products and ensuring adequate insurance
coverage were not always straightforward. They identified a gap between the
convenience of purchasing financial products and access to independent advice
that considers a household’s complete financial picture.

nyvo is built around the principle that
financial planning should start with a family’s goals and obligations rather
than individual products. By bringing investments, insurance and financial
goals into a consolidated view, the platform aims to help households identify
gaps in their plans before they become pressing financial concerns.

Bringing Investments, Insurance and
Financial Goals Together

Through the nyvo money app, users can view
their mutual fund investments, set financial goals, receive investment
recommendations and review existing insurance policies. They can also book a
free 30-minute consultation with a human advisor to discuss their financial
circumstances and understand their options.

The platform is designed to help families
assess whether their financial arrangements are aligned with future needs, from
education expenses and retirement planning to outstanding loans and household
commitments. Its approach brings together two closely linked aspects of
personal finance: building wealth through investments and protecting it through
insurance.

nyvo operates through two regulated
businesses. Its investment advisory business is registered with the Securities
and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) as an Investment Adviser (INA000022172). Its
insurance business operates through nyvo insurance services LLP, registered
with the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) as a
Corporate Agent (Composite), under registration number CA1085.

A Flat-Fee Model Designed to Minimise
Conflicts of Interest

A defining feature of nyvo’s model is its
transparent pricing. The platform charges a flat annual advisory fee of ₹999,
inclusive of GST, with no minimum investment requirement. It recommends direct
mutual fund plans and does not earn distributor commissions on the mutual funds
it recommends. The company says its advice is based on long-term data and
evidence-led assessments rather than product-placement incentives or sales
targets. Its fee-only approach is intended to align recommendations with
clients’ financial goals and needs.

For insurance, customers pay the insurer’s
applicable premium. nyvo’s salaried advisors help them compare policies and
provide ongoing support during the policy term, including assistance with
claims. The platform also offers a written financial plan covering goals,
investments, insurance and tax considerations, helping families understand how
different financial decisions fit into their broader financial strategy.

Data Security and User Control

nyvo says its platform uses bank-grade
encryption and read-only access to connected financial information. This means
the platform can display relevant financial information without having the
ability to move users’ money. The company also states that user data is stored
in India and is never sold. These measures form part of its approach to
building trust among households seeking greater visibility into their financial
position while retaining control over their accounts.

Founders Combine Institutional Finance
and Fintech Experience

Harsh Soni brings more than 16 years of
institutional finance experience, including roles at Bank of America, Kotak
Investment Banking and SBI Capital Markets, as well as fintech company slice.

Kshitij Jain, an alumnus of IIT Delhi and
IIM Ahmedabad, has worked across consulting and fintech, including at Boston
Consulting Group and slice.

Drawing on their combined experience, the
founders  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ 

P S MOTION REELS and SiDDHA ARTS present
two powerful songs from Subhash Kanni’s upcoming Hindi mythological action
thriller, blending original music, compelling lyrics and AI-assisted
filmmaking.

SOLAPUR, MAHARASHTRA : The musical world of RAAVAN – THE RISE BEFORE THE FALL
has taken a significant step forward with the release of two songs, “Jo
Haarne Se Dar Gaya” and “Chalte Rahenge.” Presented by P S MOTION
REELS and SiDDHA ARTS, the songs were released at a special event held on
October 29, 2026, at Connplex Cinema, Jam Shri City, Solapur, the hometown of
director.

The upcoming Hindi mythological action
thriller is written and directed by **Subhash Kanni**, who has also composed
the music and written the lyrics for both songs. Through this project, Kanni
brings together mythology, music, cinematic storytelling and emerging artificial
intelligence technology in an ambitious independent filmmaking venture.

‘JO HAARNE SE DAR GAYA’ AND ‘CHALTE
RAHENGE’: TWO SONGS, TWO POWERFUL MESSAGES

The two songs introduce different emotional
dimensions of the film.

##“Jo Haarne Se Dar Gaya” centres on courage, determination and the spirit of confronting
challenges without fear of defeat. Its core message celebrates those who refuse
to surrender when faced with adversity.

“Chalte Rahenge” conveys perseverance, hope and the determination to keep moving forward
despite difficulties. The song reflects the belief that obstacles should not
prevent people from pursuing their goals.

Together, the songs bring themes of
resilience, ambition and determination to the musical identity of RAAVAN
– THE RISE BEFORE THE FALL.

Both songs feature original lyrics written
by Subhash Kanni, who has also composed the music. The vocal tracks were
created with the assistance of artificial intelligence, combining independent
songwriting and music composition with emerging AI-based creative technology.

## SUBHASH KANNI’S DISTINCTIVE MUSICAL AND
CINEMATIC VISION

With RAAVAN – THE RISE BEFORE THE
FALL, Subhash Kanni explores a broader interpretation of the legendary
Raavan, moving beyond a conventional portrayal of mythology to examine themes
of power, ambition, leadership, legacy and tragedy.

The title, The Rise Before the Fall,
reflects the central dramatic idea of the film: the rise of a powerful figure
and the choices and circumstances that shape his eventual downfall.

Music forms an important part of this
cinematic vision. Through the two newly released songs, Kanni introduces
audiences to the motivational and emotional aspects of the film while
establishing its larger thematic world.

Songs are released by the auspicious hands
of Dr. Navneet Toshniwal the President of the Solapur Film Society and Film
producer Dr. Nitin Toshniwal , the event was graced by Congress leader Mr.
Vijaykumar Hatture, deputy director of international human rights commision
Anita Kodmur and Guinness world recorder Aditya Kodmur.

AN AI-ASSISTED HYBRID FILMMAKING
APPROACH

A key feature of the project is its
**AI-assisted hybrid filmmaking approach**, which combines conventional
filmmaking methods with modern artificial intelligence tools.

The production explores how emerging
technology can support visual world-building and creative expression while
retaining the filmmaker’s role in shaping the story, music and overall
cinematic vision.

As AI-assisted production methods continue
to develop, the film represents Kanni’s effort to explore new creative
possibilities within independent Hindi cinema.

The release of the two songs marks an
important promotional milestone for RAAVAN – THE RISE BEFORE THE FALL,
introducing audiences to its musical identity and the creative approach behind
the film.

NOW AVAILABLE ON YOUTUBE - https://youtu.be/t03TZyUmFBM?si=h0Fw768MO-dmRb2T

Both “Jo Haarne Se Dar Gaya”
and “Chalte Rahenge” are available through the official P S MOTION
REELS YouTube channel.

With original songwriting, music composed
by Subhash Kanni, AI-assisted vocal production and a mythological narrative
centred on one of Indian mythology’s most complex figures, *RAAVAN – THE RISE
BEFORE THE FALL* seeks to offer audiences a distinctive combination of music,
mythology and modern filmmaking.

<title>Masai School Halves the Cost of Upskilling to Take on India’s Jobs Crisis, With Vishlesan i&#45;Hub IIT Patna as Its Academic Partner</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 



National  : Masai School today announced a 50% cut in course fees across its programmes,
in partnership with Vishlesan i-Hub IIT Patna. The aim is to widen access to
quality upskilling for learners in a labour market that offers them little
certainty.

The scale of the challenge is clear in the official data. India’s
overall unemployment rate was 5.1% in July 2026, according to the Ministry of
Statistics and Programme Implementation. Among 15 to 29 year olds it was 15.3% in
April, three times the national figure. The India Skills Report 2026 puts
national employability at 56.35%, so roughly four in ten assessed candidates
are not yet job-ready. Language compounds the gap. The 2011 Census found that
only 10.6% of Indians speak some English, yet most
upskilling is still delivered in it.

Masai does not claim this is easy. Low English literacy and weak
economic conditions make this an uphill battle, and Masai has chosen it
deliberately. About 70% of its students come from tier 2 and tier 3 cities,
learners who have rarely had access to good upskilling of any kind. Its
programmes include Analytics with Agentic AI and Applied AI &amp; ML
Essentials, which is also taught in Tamil and Telugu.

“India’s jobs crisis is not a problem any one company can solve, and
we won’t pretend this is easy. Hiring is uncertain, English literacy is low,
and most upskilling is priced for people who already have advantages. About 70%
of our students come from tier 2 and tier 3 cities, so we have cut our course
fees by 50% to put quality upskilling within their reach. With mentors who
manage teams today, and the IIT ecosystem behind our programmes, learners get
training grounded in the real job market. Access should depend on ambition, not
on where you live or what you can pay”, said Prateek Shukla, CEO and Founder
Masai School.

Masai’s mentors are practising industry professionals who already
manage teams. They teach from the real job market, so the course doubles as
on-the-job training. The person teaching you may be your future manager, and
every session is a chance to make an impression on someone who hires. Learners
also get access to the IIT ecosystem and affiliation through Vishlesan i-Hub
IIT Patna, along with placement support for a market where hiring cannot be
taken for granted.

The partnership reflects a plain reality. No institute can address a
gap of this size alone. IITs bring academic credibility. Reaching small-town
learners in their own languages at an affordable price requires an operating
engine built for that purpose. Masai provides it, and Vishlesan i-Hub IIT Patna
enables it. The i-Hub’s programmes have already enrolled 14,971 learners,
almost 60% of them studying in a language other than English.

“No Institute, on its own, can close India’s skilling gap. The problem
is too large, and the learners who need help most are often the furthest from
our campuses. Masai has built the operating engine to reach them, in their own
languages and at a price they can afford, and the i-Hub is proud to enable that
work. Our own enrollment data shows that nearly 60% of our learners study in a
language other than English. Aptitude was never the barrier. Access was. By
bringing IIT-linked credibility together with Masai’s industry mentors and
reach, we are making sure that a learner’s city, language or income no longer
decides who gets to upskill.” said Prof. Dr Sai Kiran Oruganti, Ceo Vishlesan
i-Hub IIT Patna.

Section 8 company established under the National Mission on Interdisciplinary

<description><![CDATA[ 

Mumbai : TOTAL Sports &amp; Fitness celebrates 23 years of being part of India’s

experiences and a growing passion for sport. Founded in 2003 with a
400-square-foot store in Dadar, Mumbai, TOTAL has grown to 21 stores across 13
cities and six states, serving over 20 lakh customers.

Over
the years, the brand has grown alongside its customers, supporting their
changing interests, ambitions and relationship with sport. For some, sport is
about competition and achievement; for others, it is about fitness, recreation
or spending time with family and friends. These different journeys have been an
important part of TOTAL’s story, making its 23rd anniversary a celebration of
the community it has grown with. Today, TOTAL offers over 10,000 products
across more than 100 brands, spanning multiple sporting and fitness categories.

Niteen L. Shah, Founder

look back at these 23 years, what makes me proudest is not just how much the
business has grown, but the people who have been part of that journey. Every
customer who has trusted us, every family that has made sport a part of their
lives, and every person who has found joy, confidence or a sense of achievement
through sport has given this journey meaning. We started with a simple belief
that more people should have access to sports and fitness, and that purpose
continues to guide us. This anniversary is as much about celebrating those
relationships as it is about looking ahead. We want to keep growing, reaching
more communities and inspiring more people to make sport a part of their
lives.”

As India’s sporting industry continues
to grow, driven by rising participation, improving sports infrastructure and
government initiatives to promote fitness and grassroots sports, TOTAL aims to
play a larger role in making sports more accessible. Over the years, the brand
has grown alongside India’s sporting community, helping customers, academies,
clubs and institutions access the right equipment and expert guidance. Looking
ahead, TOTAL aims to expand its retail presence, strengthen its product
offerings and contribute to the wider sporting ecosystem by supporting
initiatives that encourage more people to take up sports and fitness.

For TOTAL, 23 years represents more
than business growth. It celebrates the relationships built, the sporting
aspirations supported and the role the brand continues to play in people’s
lives. As it enters its next chapter, TOTAL remains focused on growing with
India’s sporting community and contributing to a culture where sports and
fitness become an integral part of everyday life.

<title>Aishwaryam Group Marks a New Milestone with 10,000Plus Families, 60 Plus Projects and 9.5 Million Sq. Ft. of Development</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/aishwaryam-group-marks-a-new-milestone-with-10000plus-families-60-plus-projects-and-95-million-sq-ft-of-development</link>

<description><![CDATA[ 

The milestone reflects the Group’s nearly two-decade journey in Pune
and PCMC, built on homebuyer trust and evolving residential aspirations.

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], October 30 : Aishwaryam Group, a real estate
developer with a strong presence across the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal
Corporation (PCMC) region and West Pune, has crossed a significant milestone,
having served over 10,000 families, with a portfolio of more than 60+
projects and over 9.5 million sq. ft. of development. The Group has
also sold over 400 commercial units, marking its growth across
residential and commercial real estate.

Established in 2008, Aishwaryam Group has grown alongside Pune
and PCMC’s evolving urban landscape. Its presence across North PCMC and West
Pune reflects its engagement with the region’s changing housing requirements
and expanding residential neighbourhoods. The milestone represents the
collective efforts of its founding family, leadership, employees and project
teams, alongside the trust of homebuyers who have chosen its developments over
the years.

Satish Agarwal, Managing Director, Aishwaryam Group,
said, “Crossing 10,000 families is a significant milestone for us and reflects
the trust people have placed in us over the years. Our mission is to become one
of the top real estate groups in the city, recognised for trust, innovation,
quality and stakeholder value. We aim to work towards this through transparent
practices, continuous improvement and better customer experiences.”

The Group’s current residential portfolio includes F Premium by
Aishwaryam and F Signature by Aishwaryam in Tathawade, 57 Elevate in Wakad,
Aishwaryam Anand in Moshi and Vastu Dreams 3 in Chikhali. These projects
represent its presence across residential markets in PCMC and West Pune, where
buyer preferences and housing requirements continue to evolve.

Its current commercial and leasing portfolio comprises Aishwaryam
One developments in Moshi, Chikhali and Akurdi. This segment complements
the Group’s residential activities and extends its presence across different
property categories in the region.

As Pune and PCMC continue to expand, homebuyers are increasingly
considering factors beyond the size of a property or the number of amenities
offered. Connectivity, neighbourhood infrastructure, efficient space planning,
everyday convenience and lifestyle suitability are becoming important
considerations in purchasing decisions. These priorities vary across locations
and buyer segments, making an understanding of local market conditions
important to development planning.

Aishwaryam Group’s experience across North PCMC and West Pune informs
its approach to these changing requirements. Its development philosophy centres
on understanding location-specific demand and planning offerings that respond
to the needs of different buyer segments. The Group is also exploring branded,
lifestyle-oriented residences through its association with Fashion TV under its
F portfolio, which has recorded over 750 unit sales. This reflects its
participation in a segment shaped by evolving consumer preferences and interest
in differentiated residential formats.

Narendra Agarwal, Director, Aishwaryam Group,
said, “Homebuyer expectations vary across locations and segments. Understanding
these differences is important when planning a development, from its location
and configuration to the amenities it offers. Our experience in the region
helps us assess these requirements and shape our projects accordingly.”

Looking ahead, the Group’s vision is to pioneer a new era in real
estate, where trust is the foundation, innovation is the path and elevating
lifestyles is the goal. It aims to pursue this through transparent business
practices, the adoption of relevant technologies, continuous improvement in
project execution, enhanced customer experiences and responsible development
that creates value for its stakeholders.

has grown alongside the region’s evolving urban landscape, building a portfolio
of over 60 projects and more than 9.5 million sq. ft. of development. Having
served over 10,000 families and sold more than 400 commercial units,
Aishwaryam’s journey reflects its continued engagement with the region’s
residential and commercial real estate markets.With a presence across North
PCMC and West Pune, the Group’s understanding of diverse micro-markets informs

<title>Beyond Politics: How M. M. Hassan’s Five&#45;Decade Journey Became a Story of Service, Empowerment and Social Change</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 

From helping women build independent livelihoods to championing the
concerns of expatriate Keralites, the veteran public figure&#039;s contributions
have extended beyond political office. His journey has now inspired an
internationally recognised documentary, The Legacy of Truth.

Thiruvananthapuram, October 2026: A
woman learning to earn her first independent income, a family cultivating
vegetables in a small backyard, or a migrant worker thousands of kilometres
away hoping that someone back home will listen to his concerns. These may
appear to be ordinary moments in everyday life, but they represent the kind of
social challenges that have shaped much of M. M. Hassan&#039;s public journey.

For over five decades, Hassan has occupied different positions in
Kerala&#039;s political landscape. Yet, beyond the legislative debates, ministerial
responsibilities and organisational appointments lies another dimension of his
career, one connected with grassroots livelihoods, community development and
the welfare of people whose struggles rarely make newspaper headlines.

His story is not merely about the offices he has held. It is also
about the belief that meaningful public service must reach beyond the corridors
of power and find relevance in the lives of ordinary citizens.

Hassan&#039;s journey began in the politically vibrant environment of
Kerala&#039;s student movements. Emerging through the Kerala Students Union (KSU),
he gradually established himself as a prominent figure in the state&#039;s political
life. His career subsequently included five terms in the Kerala Legislative
Assembly, ministerial responsibilities under former Chief Minister A. K. Antony
and leadership positions within the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee and the
United Democratic Front.

However, one of the more distinctive aspects of his public career has
been his association with initiatives that sought to translate social welfare
objectives into practical opportunities.

When Empowerment Became More Than a Promise

Among the initiatives closely associated with Hassan is the Janasree
Sustainable Development Mission, an organisation established to promote
community participation, self-employment and economic empowerment.

At its heart was a straightforward idea: financial independence should
not remain beyond the reach of people with limited resources.

Through Janasree, efforts were made to encourage small-scale
entrepreneurship, vocational training, microfinance and income-generating
activities. The organisation promoted skills such as food processing, soap
production, umbrella manufacturing and paper-bag making, creating opportunities
for individuals to explore livelihoods beyond conventional employment.

For women, particularly those seeking greater financial independence,
these programmes represented an opportunity to participate more actively in
household economies and local enterprise.

The importance of such initiatives extends beyond the income they may
generate. When a woman acquires a marketable skill, she gains the possibility
of greater financial agency. When a family establishes a small enterprise, it
creates an additional source of economic security. And when communities
organise around shared economic interests, development begins to acquire a more
participatory character.

Under Hassan&#039;s chairmanship, Janasree sought to build on these
principles, connecting livelihood development with wider social participation.
In 2009, he announced an ambitious vocational training target involving 10 lakh
members, reflecting the scale of the organisation&#039;s aspirations.

From Household Gardens to Community Well-Being

Hassan&#039;s association with grassroots development also extended into
agriculture and environmental awareness.

Through Janasree, he advocated organic vegetable cultivation,
encouraging households to use available land and domestic spaces to grow food.
The initiative sought to promote healthier agricultural practices, reduce
dependence on externally sourced vegetables and encourage families to become
more involved in food production.

The idea carried particular relevance in a state where questions
surrounding food safety, agricultural dependence and household expenditure have
remained important public concerns.

Rather than viewing development exclusively through large projects and
investments, such programmes placed attention on the potential of smaller,
community-led actions.

Hassan&#039;s public advocacy also addressed issues affecting everyday
economic life. In December 2004, he undertook a 23-hour fast in
Thiruvananthapuram against forced hartals, drawing attention to the
difficulties shutdowns could create for daily-wage earners, small businesses
and ordinary citizens.

The protest reflected his stated concern that political expression
should not come at the expense of people&#039;s ability to work, travel or earn a
livelihood.

A Voice for Malayalis Beyond Kerala&#039;s Borders

<description><![CDATA[ 

Rooted in Gera’s
value of Customer First, the programme extends to eligible existing customers
and combines EMI Shield, Home Equity Power and Medical Emergency Support with
Extended Home Protection after customers move in

Pune, October 30, 2026 : Gera Developments Private Limited (GDPL) today
announced The Gera Advantage, a programme rooted in Customer First, one of the
company’s core values.  It brings
together support for customers when circumstances change and continued care for
their homes well beyond possession.

Buying a home is one of the largest commitments of its
savings and future income a family makes. 
For an under-construction home time from purchase to delivery often
takes years before the keys are handed over. Even with careful planning, an
unexpected change in employment, an urgent expense or a family medical
emergency can create financial pressure and uncertainty. Gera recognised that
these are moments in which homebuyers have not traditionally been able to turn
to their developer.

The Gera Advantage is designed for exactly those moments.
Three financial-support offerings cover the period before the Occupancy
Certificate (OC) is received, and Extended Home Protection continues for years
after customers move in.

Rohit Gera, Managing Director, Gera Developments, said: “Regulation
has been focused on ensuring transparency and delivery as per commitments.  It doesn’t focus on creating solutions for
challenges that occur between purchase and possession. We are happy to provide
a solution to home buyers to tide over challenging times during the
pre-delivery period.”

Speaking about the launch, Gulzar Malhotra, Chief Executive
Officer, Gera Developments, said: “Customer first is one of our core values.
The Gera Advantage stems from asking what that value should mean for a family
that has entrusted us with its home. Buying a home should give people
confidence about their future. Our responsibility is to support that confidence
across the journey, especially when things don’t go as planned. We believe the
commitment should work both ways. Through The Gera Advantage, we are providing
financial breathing room when circumstances change and continued care as
customers settle into their homes.”

EMI Shield

Layoffs place considerable strain on a family’s finances.
EMI Shield helps eligible salaried customers tide over this period by
reimbursing their monthly home-loan pre-EMI payments for up to six months, or
until re-employment if that is sooner.

The support is interest-free and repayable in two
instalments after the support period ends, or in full at possession if that
comes earlier. Eligible customers can avail the benefit once per unit, for
involuntary job loss occurring between agreement registration and six months
before scheduled possession.

Home Equity Power

An unforeseen financial need can arise even when a home
purchase is progressing as planned. Home Equity Power enables eligible
customers to access short-term financial assistance linked to their own
contribution already paid towards the home.

Customers who have paid at least 10% of the home’s
consideration value from their own funds can receive assistance of up to 50% of
that contribution or 10% of the consideration value, whichever is lower,
excluding GST. The equity draw down is subject to the loan covenants provided
by the housing finance institution.  The
amounts drawn carry the RERA rate of interest (this is far lower than most
other interest rates) and is repayable within six months or by possession,
whichever is earlier.

Medical Emergency
Support

A serious medical emergency can change a family’s priorities
overnight. Medical Emergency Support gives customers two ways to ease their
financial commitment when a qualifying medical emergency affects the customer
or an eligible immediate family member, or following the demise of the customer
or their spouse.

The no sale till possession clause is waived and the
customer can transfer the unit without payment of the applicable transfer
fee.  

Customers also have the option to downgrade to a smaller,
lower-value available home, with eligible appreciation on their existing unit
taken into account. This gives families a way to reduce their financial
commitment while keeping their homeownership dream intact.

Extended Home
Protection

Once a family moves into its home, attention turns to
keeping it in good condition. The Gera Advantage extends GDPL’s commitment
through annual home preventive maintenance health checks for seven years from
the date of OC.

After each inspection, customers receive a Home Health Check
Report with observations and recommended actions. GDPL attends to covered
defects under the applicable warranty and helps arrange non warranty repairs on
a chargeable basis, with the customer’s prior approval.

Together, these offerings form one continuing commitment,
from agreement registration to the years a family spends making the apartment
its home. They reflect what Cus ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ 

Tiruchirappalli, India | October 30, 2026 : AugurAI Private
Limited, a deep-tech company building Precision Optics and AI-powered Visual
Inspection Systems for industrial manufacturing, has raised ₹2 crore from Campus Angels Network
(CAN). The entire round was funded by CAN investors.

Founded in 2022
and incubated at Forge
Innovation &amp; Ventures and SASTRA First TBI,
AugurAI develops integrated industrial inspection solutions combining precision
optics, imaging hardware, AI software and automation.

Unlike conventional machine
vision solutions that primarily apply AI to standard camera feeds, AugurAI
follows an optics-first approach, engineering illumination, lenses and imaging
to capture high-quality data before applying AI for defect detection and
classification. The company has reported inspection accuracy of over 99.9%
across live deployments.

AugurAI has deployed solutions
with leading industrial customers including JSW, ZF Rane, Brakes India,  among others. AugurAI was announced the
winner of the Maruti Suzuki Incubation Program (Cohort 5) from amongst a
competitive pool of 570+ startups. 

The fresh capital will be used to
strengthen product development and R&amp;D, expand sales and execution
capabilities, and support the company’s next phase of growth.

Dr. Ravishankar
Rajagopalan, Founder &amp; CEO,
AugurAI , said:

“Our approach is to engineer the
complete imaging and inspection system, combining precision optics with AI to
solve difficult quality inspection problems in manufacturing. With growing
validation from leading industrial customers, this funding will help us
strengthen our technology and scale our solutions across manufacturing sectors.”

Chandran
Krishnan, Managing Director &amp;
CEO, Campus Angels Network , said:

“AugurAI is not simply another AI
company. At its core, it is a Precision Optics company powered by AI. Ravi and
his team have demonstrated the effectiveness of their technology in demanding
industrial environments and converted that capability into business with
marquee customers. We believe AugurAI has the potential to build a
differentiated Indian deep-tech company in the industrial inspection space.”

Looking Ahead

AugurAI plans to deepen its
capabilities in precision optics and AI, expand its portfolio of inspection
solutions and strengthen its presence across manufacturing sectors. The company
will also focus on converting its growing customer pipeline into multi-line and
multi-plant deployments, creating opportunities for recurring business through
system expansion. AugurAI aims to build an India-origin precision inspection
technology platform capable of competing in global industrial markets. ]]></description>

<title>Dil Se Diwali, Dil Se Gifting: FNP Unveils Its Diwali 2026 Collection</title>

<description><![CDATA[  From culturally inspired
celebration boxes and regional mithai assortments to interactive gourmet
hampers, the collection brings together festive nostalgia, distinctive
packaging and thoughtful gifting experiences.

National, 29 October 2026: FNP, India’s largest celebrations brand and a pioneer in
organised gifting, has unveiled its Diwali 2026 collection, bringing together
cultural storytelling, regional flavours, festive nostalgia and contemporary
design to make gifting more thoughtful and memorable.

As festive gifting continues to evolve, consumers are
increasingly looking beyond conventional assortments for gifts that feel
meaningful, distinctive and relevant to the relationships they celebrate. With
its Diwali 2026 collection, FNP has taken an occasion-first approach, drawing
inspiration from India’s traditions, shared memories and festive rituals while
presenting them through contemporary gifting formats.

At the heart of the Diwali gifts
collection is the Shubh Diwali Box, inspired by the return of Lord Ram
and Goddess Sita to Ayodhya. Its intricately illustrated packaging depicts the
Vaanar Sena preparing the city for their homecoming, bringing one of Diwali’s
most cherished stories to life. Featuring mithai, ladoo-shaped candles, incense
sticks, a toran and a Hanuman Ji caricature, the box brings together tradition,
nostalgia and festive warmth in one thoughtfully curated experience.

Celebrating India’s rich culinary diversity, the Mithai Map
of India brings together nine regional Diwali sweets in a
single curated assortment. Designed as a journey through the country’s festive
flavours, it turns the familiar tradition of gifting mithai into an experience
of discovery, celebrating the distinctive tastes and traditions associated with
different parts of India.

Indian festive aesthetics find a contemporary expression in the Elephant
Bag, featuring a traditional elephant motif highlighted with rich gold
accents. Designed to carry mithai, personalised keepsakes and festive
favourites, it combines cultural symbolism with modern presentation.

Adding an element of surprise is the Anaar Box, inspired
by one of Diwali’s most recognisable festive motifs. Reimagined as a gourmet
gifting format, the distinctive design gives a playful, contemporary twist to
traditional festive gifting.

Nostalgia takes centre stage with the MELA Gourmet Hamper,
inspired by the excitement and energy of childhood Diwali melas. Combining
gourmet treats with an interactive spin-the-wheel element, the hamper is
designed to encourage families and friends to participate, play and spend time
together, turning the gift itself into a shared festive experience.

For those who prefer timeless festive elegance, the Royal
Court Hamper draws inspiration from the grandeur of traditional Indian royal
courts. Presented in a deep-blue box with intricate gold foil detailing, it
brings together dry fruits and selected festive favourites in a format that
balances premium presentation with thoughtful value.

Commenting on the launch, Avi Kumar, Chief Marketing Officer,
FNP, said, “Diwali gifting has always been about emotion, relationships
and the joy of celebrating together. Today, consumers are also looking for
gifts that carry a story, feel thoughtfully curated and reflect the
relationship they share with the recipient. With our Diwali 2026 collection, we
have brought together cultural storytelling, regional flavours, nostalgia and
contemporary design to make festive gifting more meaningful. From revisiting
familiar traditions to creating shared experiences, our focus is on helping
people celebrate Dil Se Diwali, Dil Se Gifting.”

With its Diwali 2026 collection, FNP continues to strengthen its
occasion-first approach to gifting by combining cultural relevance, creative
design and thoughtful curation. The collection reflects the brand’s focus on
making every festive gift feel personal, memorable and rooted in the spirit of
celebration.

<title>Agentic AI Is Coming to Enterprise Software. But What Does That Mean for Today&amp;apos;s Software Engineers</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/agentic-ai-is-coming-to-enterprise-software-but-what-does-that-mean-for-todays-software-engineers</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/agentic-ai-is-coming-to-enterprise-software-but-what-does-that-mean-for-todays-software-engineers</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Ninety-two percent of companies plan to increase their AI
investments over the next three years, according to McKinsey &amp; Company. Yet
only 1% of leaders describe their organisations as &quot;mature&quot; on the AI
deployment spectrum, where AI is fully integrated into workflows and delivers
substantial business outcomes. Separately, Gartner forecasts that by 2028, 33%
of enterprise software applications will include Agentic AI, up from less than
1% in 2024.

These two data points describe the same moment from
different perspectives. Organisations are accelerating AI investment, while
enterprise software is rapidly moving towards agentic capabilities. At the same
time, very few leaders believe their own AI deployments have reached production
maturity. The challenge is no longer building another prototype. It is
engineering systems that remain reliable, evaluated, secure and observable once
they move into production.

This is the engineering gap that the iHUB DivyaSampark, IIT
Roorkee Post Graduate Certificate in Agentic and RAG Systems for AI Engineering
is designed to address. Rather than positioning AI as a collection of tools or
experimentation techniques, the six-month live online programme focuses on the
engineering discipline required to build, evaluate, secure and operate
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Agentic AI systems in production
environments. It is intended for technology professionals with intermediate
programming familiarity who already build software, manage codebases or lead
technology teams, and now need deeper engineering capabilities as enterprises
move beyond proof-of-concept AI.

What distinguishes the
programme is its emphasis on engineering judgement alongside
implementation. Across six curriculum pillars and thirteen modules,
participants work through the decisions that often determine whether an AI
system succeeds in production. The curriculum explores when prompting is
sufficient, when RAG engineering is more appropriate, when fine-tuning should
or should not be used, and when multi-agent systems introduce unnecessary
complexity rather than value.

Reliability is embedded throughout the programme, covering
evaluation using golden datasets and LLM-as-judge methods, RAG failure
analysis, human-in-the-loop workflows with approval gates and audit trails, and
prompt-injection defence. A dedicated module also covers MCP, AI security and
governance, including retrieval poisoning, tool abuse, guardrails, and GDPR and
DPDP compliance. Participants reinforce these concepts through six module-end
projects and a capstone that integrates RAG, agent orchestration, model
adaptation, deployment and monitoring into one production-oriented system.
Approximately 12 hours of live online masterclasses are delivered by IIT
faculty, while the programme&#039;s weekly live sessions are led by industry experts
and programme leaders.

The learning opportunity is offered by iHUB DivyaSampark,
IIT Roorkee, a Technology Innovation Hub established under the National Mission
on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS), initiated by the
Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. Live masterclasses
would be conducted by faculty members from IITs and other premier
institutions.

The
programme is intended for software engineers, AI and data professionals,
technology architects, product managers and technical leaders who already
possess intermediate programming familiarity and want to deepen their ability
to evaluate, build and operate production-grade Agentic AI and RAG systems.
Participants who successfully complete the programme are also eligible to
attend an optional two-day campus immersion at IIT Roorkee&#039;s Noida campus.

The next cohort begins on 22nd December 2026. The
programme runs for six months, requires approximately 8–10 hours per week, and
is delivered 100% live online through two live sessions each week, module-end
projects and an end-to-end capstone. Upon successfully completing all graded
mini projects, achieving a minimum overall score of 50%, scoring at least 50%
in the capstone and maintaining at least 50% attendance, participants receive
an e-Certificate (Certificate of Completion) issued by iHUB DivyaSampark, IIT
Roorkee.

<description><![CDATA[ 

A
year after it first ran woollens as a season of its own, the Gwalior-based
handmade platform opens its second winter with handwoven shawls, stoles and
fabric from Kutch, Kumaun, Kullu and Kashmir, and block prints and tie-dye
worked onto wool by printers from Gujarat, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. New
pieces list every week through January. 

Gwalior, India, 29 October 2026 : iTokri.com
has more than 2,000 handmade woollen pieces in stock as the winter opens, drawn
from a dozen Indian crafts across seven states. The range runs from handwoven
merino shawls and stoles made in the weaving villages of Kutch to woollen
fabric sold by the half-metre, and includes a kind of cloth that is hard to
find elsewhere: block prints and tie-dye traditions that grew up on cotton,
worked by hand onto handwoven wool.

Built over a year, from Kutch outward. Last October was the first time the
platform treated winter as a season to be designed rather than a stretch to be
got through. The buying this year started inside the season, the moment the
response was visible, and purchase commitments have rolled month on month
since. Stock does not arrive on a launch day. It arrives as a stream: new
woollens list every week as they come in from the clusters, alongside the
roughly 500 new products iTokri adds across its catalogue each
week. The base is still Kutch. Around it, the range has widened over the year
to the hill weavers of Kumaun in Uttarakhand, the hand-knitters of Kullu in
Himachal Pradesh, the pashmina of Kashmir, and the embroidery of Punjab.

The crafts on wool this winter.

● Kutch
handloom. Shawls and stoles woven on pit
looms in the villages around Bhujodi by the Vankar weaving community, whose
founding cloth is the dhabla, the thick wool blanket-shawl once woven for the
Rabari herders; the craft is covered by the Kachchh Shawls Geographical
Indication.

● Ajrakh. Resist-and-mordant block printing from Kutch, printed on both
faces of the cloth and dyed principally in natural indigo and madder, here on a
woollen base.

●
Sanganeri. Hand block printing from
Sanganer near Jaipur, direct-printed floral work on a bleached ground, a
registered Geographical Indication since 2010.

●
Bandhani. Tie-resist dyeing, the pattern
tied knot by knot before the dye bath and released after; on wool the dots sit
on a denser, warmer ground.

● Bagh. Natural-dye block printing from Bagh in Madhya Pradesh,
alizarin red and iron black, river-washed and sun-finished, worked here onto
woollen mufflers and stoles.

● Kumaun
weaving, Kullu hand-knits, Kashmir pashmina, Phulkari, shibori, ikat and dabu
on wool, felted namda.

Every product page names the base cloth and the process
on it, and says which cluster wove the piece and which printed it. iTokri buys
woollen fabric from weavers and mills, and finished shawls and stoles directly
from craft clusters; it does not buy raw wool and does not work at the fibre
level.

Why wool is slow. The second step is the one that cannot be hurried. A printer
who works on cotton all summer takes a handwoven woollen shawl into the same
sequence of mordant, resist and dye baths, and the cloth dries between each one
in the open air. Cluster capacity and that second process step are finite,
which is why the range is built backward from the platform&#039;s commitment to the
weavers and printers, and why it arrives through the winter rather than all at
once.

&quot;It has taken us a lot of time to prepare this collection over the last
twelve months. The way we built winter is something tremendously
satisfying,&quot; said Nitin Pamnani, co-founder, iTokri.com.

The winter range is live at itokri.com/collections/woollens-on-itokri, with new arrivals weekly through January. Every order ships
from Gwalior with a handwritten note.

and Jia Pamnani. It works directly with artisan workshops across more than 500

A curated celebration of Italian design and heritage, bringing
together twelve distinguished maisons and culminating in an intimate evening of
Italian hospitality at VINCI.

New Delhi, 29 October 2026: DLF
Emporio and The Chanakya, in collaboration with the Embassy of Italy and The
Italian Trade Agency, presented La Dolce Vita 2026, a celebration of
Italian luxury, craftsmanship and style. Bringing together twelve distinguished
Italian maisons, the showcase offered an immersive exploration of Italian
design and heritage through curated brand experiences, collection previews and
an evening of Italian hospitality at VINCI.

Envisioned as a celebration of the Italian way of life, La Dolce Vita
2026 brought together leading Italian brands including Bulgari, Canali,
Corneliani, Eleventy Milano, Emporio Armani, Giorgio Armani, Gucci, Brioni,
Brunello Cucinelli, Paul &amp; Shark, Aquazzura and René Caovilla, highlighting
the distinctive craftsmanship, creative vision and design sensibilities that
define each maison. Through a programme spanning jewellery, timepieces,
fashion, accessories and artisanal experiences, guests were invited to discover
the stories behind the brands and engage with their latest collections.

The participating maisons brought this vision to life through a range
of curated engagements across DLF Emporio, complemented by a striking visual
installation from Italian brands retailing at The Chanakya.

Bulgari presented a Diwali
inspired in-store experience featuring a festive sweets animation, a curated showcase
of High Jewellery and Timepieces, and storytelling around its festive campaign.
Canali introduced its new collection through an interactive pop up,
complemented by an espresso on the go experience in its boutique, while Corneliani
showcased its Autumn/Winter 2026 collection following a celebratory welcome
featuring a champagne toast and a specially curated gift for the Ambassador. Eleventy
Milano offered a guided presentation of its latest collections and
offerings, while Emporio Armani and Giorgio Armani presented
immersive brand storytelling and private previews of their latest collections. Gucci
hosted collection preview sessions in its VIP salon, and Paul &amp;
Shark complemented its boutique experience with a specially curated cart
featuring hand painted ceramic plates as keepsakes, while René Caovilla offered
a private preview of its recently opened first boutique in India, highlighting
its latest offerings.

The celebrations culminated in La Serata at VINCI, where guests
and participating brands’ representatives came together for an evening of
Italian hospitality. Featuring Prosecco, live musical entertainment and an
exquisite Italian dinner, the experience brought together gastronomy,
conversation and culture, extending the spirit of La Dolce Vita beyond the
boutique showcases.

This collaboration also reflected the broader cultural connection
between Italy and India, with craftsmanship, creativity and design serving as
common threads throughout the experience. H.E. Antonio Bartoli, Ambassador
of Italy in India, said, “Italian craftsmanship, design and creativity
are an important ingredient of the Italy-India economic and cultural dialogue.
Together, our countries and industries are tied by a continuing blend of tradition,
innovation and industrial excellence. This is the truer when it comes to areas
such as fashion, jewellery and hospitality related areas. La Dolce Vita is an
opportunity to share these common values with Indian audiences through the work
of distinguished Italian maisons, while celebrating the warmth of Italian
hospitality. This event will contribute to set the tone for the Italy-India
Year of Culture and Tourism in 2027. We are working on an intense calendar of
events, exhibitions and initiatives where design and hospitality will play a
pivotal role.”

Ms. Pushpa Bector, Group Executive Director and Business Head, DLF
Retail, added, “At DLF, we believe that luxury is as
much about the experiences we create as it is about the brands we bring
together. La Dolce Vita celebrates the rich heritage and craftsmanship of
Italian maisons while creating opportunities for guests to engage with their
stories in a meaningful way. Through collaborations such as this, we continue
to strengthen our retail destinations as platforms for global luxury, cultural
discovery and distinctive consumer experiences.”

Mr. Saurabh Bharara, Vice President and Cluster Head, DLF Luxury
Malls, said, “La Dolce Vita 2026 brought together the
many expressions of Italian luxury through a thoughtfully curated programme
that encouraged guests to discover the heritage, collections and craftsmanship
of each participating maison. From the individual brand experiences to the
evening at VINCI, the celebration was designed to create a seamless journey
across fashion, culture and hospitality. We remain committed to creating

<title>Inkle, the U.S. CPA Firm Built in Bengaluru, Acquires Finally’s Bookkeeping Division</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/inkle-the-us-cpa-firm-built-in-bengaluru-acquires-finallys-bookkeeping-division</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/inkle-the-us-cpa-firm-built-in-bengaluru-acquires-finallys-bookkeeping-division</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

India, October 29, 2026 : Inkle, the AI-powered CPA and bookkeeping firm
for U.S. companies, today announced that it has acquired the bookkeeping
division of Finally, the financial operations platform for small businesses.
Headquartered in San Francisco, Inkle builds its software and runs a core part
of its delivery from Bengaluru (India), where its 60-member team of engineers,
product designers, tax professionals, and bookkeepers is based.

Inkle was
founded in 2022 by Indian-origin founders Anand
Krishna, who leads the company from San Francisco, and Ranvir
Singh, who leads technology from Bengaluru. Their model pairs a
U.S.-licensed CPA practice with product, engineering, and AI built in India.
Inkle Books, the company’s general ledger, its tax and compliance platform, and
the AI that now handles much of the routine work are all designed and built by
the Bengaluru team, which works alongside the accountants who use them every
day.

The timing
reflects a structural shift in American accounting. The U.S. faces a growing
shortage of CPAs and bookkeepers as a large share of the profession approaches
retirement and fewer people enter it: accounting degrees awarded fell to 55,152
in 2023-24, down 6.6% from the prior year, according to the
AICPA’s 2025 Trends Report. Millions of small businesses still need their
books, taxes, and compliance done. Inkle’s view is that this gap will be filled
not by more traditional firms but by technology-led platforms, and that India’s
engineering and finance talent will build a large part of them.

Inkle also sits on one of the
busiest corridors in global entrepreneurship. Every year it helps hundreds of
companies incorporate in the United States, many of them started by Indian
founders setting up Delaware C-Corps to raise capital and sell to American
customers, and then manages their ongoing U.S. tax and compliance, from federal
returns and Delaware franchise tax to cross-border filings such as Form 5472
and FBAR. Inkle is also the cross-border compliance partner for Stripe Atlas
for Indian founders.

The acquisition brings
approximately 100 Finally team members in the Dominican Republic, Colombia,
Puerto Rico, Miami, Boca Raton, and New York into Inkle, taking the company to
around 160 people across five countries. Together with its Bengaluru team,
Inkle now delivers around the clock across the Americas and Asia. The deal also
extends Inkle beyond venture-backed startups into the non-tech small businesses
that make up the bulk of America’s employer base: owner-operators, professional
services firms, contractors, clinics, and restaurants. Finally’s bookkeeping
clients will continue working with the same teams, now on Inkle’s platform. 

Inkle has reached profitability
on $1.5 million in pre-seed funding from Picus Capital, Saison Capital, and
Force Ventures, a fraction of what competitors have raised in a category where
several far better-funded players have exited the market. It offers its
software free and charges only for AI-backed bookkeeping, tax, and compliance
services, delivered on Inkle Books or on QuickBooks, Xero, Zoho Books, and
Mercury Books.

“Ranvir and I are delighted to
announce Inkle’s first acquisition,” said 
Anand Krishna, co-founder and CEO
of Inkle . “Inkle is an American company that serves American small
businesses, and it’s built in Bengaluru. That combination is our edge: U.S.
CPAs who own the outcome, and an engineering team in India building the
software and AI that let them serve far more businesses, far better, than a
traditional firm. We’re building the AI-powered Big Four, and this acquisition
helps us take that to the businesses that make up most of the American economy.”

Because Inkle’s engineers sit
alongside the accountants and bookkeepers who use its software, issues raised
by the delivery team are often fixed within a day. Bringing Finally’s team onto
the platform built in Bengaluru is the largest test of that model so far.

The transaction was structured as
an all-cash asset purchase. Financial terms were not disclosed. Inkle thanks
the pioneers at Finally, who built a great product and bookkeeping business
serving thousands of U.S. companies.

ABOUT INKLE

Inkle is a U.S.
AI-powered CPA and bookkeeping firm, headquartered in San Francisco and
incorporated in Delaware, with its product and engineering hub in Bengaluru. It
combines a licensed CPA practice with its own software, including Inkle Books,
and frontier AI to deliver bookkeeping, tax, and compliance to thousands of
U.S. businesses, and helps hundreds of founders incorporate in the U.S. every
year. Inkle is profitable and backed by Picus Capital, Saison Capital, and
Force Ventures, with teams in the United States, India, the Dominican Republic,
Colombia, and Puerto Rico. Learn more athttps://www.inkle.ai/contact. ]]></description>

Shanaya
Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapur, The Rebel Kid and Varun Sood bring massive buzz to
the brand’s interactive skincare booth at the annual beauty festival

New Delhi, 29th October 2026: Dot &amp; Key, India’s
fastest-growing D2C skincare brand, transformed its booth at Nykaaland 4.0 into
an interactive brand playground designed to drive consumer engagement and
product discovery. The three-day experience was anchored by exclusive
appearances from brand ambassador Shanaya Kapoor, Bollywood stars Aditya Roy
Kapur and Varun Sood, and popular creator Apoorva Makhija aka The Rebel Kid. 

Built around the brand’s playful visual identity, the booth was themed after
the fan favourite Strawberry Dew Tinted Sunscreen range, that combines sun
protection with a hint of tint to bridge skincare and makeup in one simple
step. The space featured an interactive claw game and photo booth, a screen-led
visual wall, and larger-than-life character installations for shareable content
creation on the spot.

Commenting on the experience, Suyash Saraf, Co-Founder and CEO, Dot &amp;
Key Skincare, said, “Beauty is best experienced when consumers can engage
with the brand beyond the products themselves. We wanted to build a space
reflecting our playful identity where consumers could discover our range and
make the experience their own. The enthusiastic response to our booth and the
opportunity to connect with consumers through familiar faces from entertainment
and digital culture made the experience particularly special. Experiences like
this help us build a more direct connection with our community.”

Adding to the booth’s appeal was a lineup of celebrity and creator appearances
that brought pop-culture energy to the beauty festival. All the pictures can be
viewed on Dot &amp;
Key Skincare Instagram.

Brand ambassador, Shanaya Kapoor, brought the spotlight to the brand’s skincare
portfolio. She interacted with attendees, posed for pictures, and explored
popular offerings including the newly launched Strawberry Dew Tinted Sunscreen
range and the Plushie Jelly Lip Balms. 

Adding to the excitement, actor Varun Sood made a spirited appearance at the
booth, meeting fans, playing the games and posing for pictures while sporting a
custom Dot &amp; Key jacket.

NYC based content creator Apoorva Makhija, popularly known as The Rebel Kid,
also made a special appearance. Her visit drew an enthusiastic crowd of fans
eager to meet her and capture the moment while she explored Dot &amp; Key’s
skincare favourites. 

The final day closed with a much-awaited visit from Bollywood actor Aditya Roy
Kapur, who interacted with fans, posed with the installations, and brought his
signature energy to the booth.

By combining product discovery with high-profile celebrity and creator moments,
Dot &amp; Key created an experience that extended well beyond the venue. To

Beat of Life Entertainment Expands Its

As the festival&#039;s management partner, Beat of Life Entertainment will
contribute to the coordination, management and on-ground execution of the
international cinematic event.

The association marks another important

 Fully built-out centre designed to house approximately 500
professionals, with hiring underway from senior global leaders to campus
graduates

HYDERABAD, India, October 29, 2026 : AssetMark, a leading US-based wealth management platform serving more than
10,000 financial advisors, today announced the opening of AssetMark Global
Wealth, its Global Capability Centre (GCC) in Hyderabad. Equipped to house
approximately 500 employees, the centre strengthens AssetMark’s global
technology and business operations, while further expanding AssetMark’s
presence in India and creating opportunities to attract and nurture local
talent.

AssetMark has operated in India through an outsourcing model for
nearly a decade. The Hyderabad GCC represents the next phase of the company’s
commitment to the country, bringing a dedicated team in-house. As part of this
investment in Hyderabad, the company has leased and fully built out a workplace
in H-10 By Phoenix Hitech City, Hyderabad. The space is designed to foster
collaboration, innovation and professional development, while reflecting
AssetMark’s values and culture.

Led locally by Joshi Alaparthi, Vice President, Head of India GCC, the
Hyderabad team will work closely with US-based colleagues to drive technology
and engineering initiatives across AssetMark’s wealth management platform.
This includes using artificial intelligence to boost advisor productivity,
enhance client service and scale engineering capabilities, while keeping human
judgement at the centre of decision-making. 

&quot;Hyderabad’s strong ecosystem of technology and financial
services expertise makes it an ideal location for AssetMark to expand our
global capabilities and support our next phase of growth,” said Lou Maiuri,
Chairman and Group CEO of AssetMark. “By connecting colleagues across
regions and time zones, we can collaborate more seamlessly, accelerate
innovation and further strengthen the value and support we deliver to financial
advisors and their clients.”

Now in its 30th year, AssetMark equips financial advisors with
planning tools, investment solutions and operational capabilities designed to
help them grow their businesses and better serve their clients. The Hyderabad
center will play an important role in AssetMark’s global operations while
creating opportunities for talent in India.

“Our expansion into Hyderabad is an important step in strengthening
the exceptional service we provide to financial advisors and their clients,”
said Carrie Hansen, Chief Operating Officer of AssetMark. “By bringing our
Operations and Technology teams together, we are creating an environment where
people can collaborate more closely, innovate faster and continuously improve
both our technology and the way we deliver our services. We are building a team
that understands our mission, recognizes the impact of its work and has the
ownership and opportunity to grow. That combination of talent, collaboration
and shared purpose will help us deliver an even better experience for our
clients.”

Hiring is now under way across levels, from global leaders managing
teams across India and the United States to experienced professionals and
early-career talent, with roles spanning technology, operations and product
management. As part of its hiring programme, AssetMark will work with Chaitanya
Bharathi Institute of Technology (CBIT) to welcome 10–15 graduates for its
first group of campus recruits. The programme will expand to additional
institutions and disciplines over time, creating a strong pipeline of future
talent.

<title>HiveSchool of Business launches AI marketing programme built by mentors who have led marketing at Zomato, Nestlé, Epigamia and Patanjali</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Gurugram, 29 October 2026 :

The AI Marketing and Entrepreneurship
Fellowship runs six months with 50 seats for the April 2027 intake; every
fellow graduates with a brand, then gets a job or gets funded

HiveSchool
of Business, named Emerging B-School of the Year by The Economic Times
earlier this year, has launched the AI
Marketing and Entrepreneurship Fellowship, six months on campus for
early-career marketers and first-time founders, built by mentors from India&#039;s
leading consumer brands. The first batch of 50 fellows begins in April 2027 at
the school&#039;s Gurugram campus.

Mentors on the fellowship include Saurabh
Sen Gupta, former Senior Vice President at Zomato; Neha Gulati, former Head of
Brand at Nestlé; Siddharth Menon, former Chief Marketing Officer at Epigamia;
Amit Jawar, Vice President, Sales and Marketing at Patanjali; and Yash Kalra,
founder of GOAT. They sit on the panels that judge the work, and the school
describes it on its website as the coolest AI marketing and entrepreneurship
programme India has seen.

The mentors say they hated the conventional
marketing programmes they went through, built on lectures and concepts a decade
out of date, so they created one of their own.

Every session on the fellowship is run by a
practising marketer and tied to something the fellow ships that week, not a
guest lecture.

The fellowship is aimed at early-stage
marketers: recent graduates and professionals in their first marketing jobs who
want to move from execution roles into roles that own growth and revenue, or
who want to build a consumer brand of their own.

Every fellow builds and runs a venture of
their own through the fellowship, choosing between a direct-to-consumer brand,
a content channel and a freelance agency, and learns across four tracks:
entrepreneurship, brand, growth and content. Live briefs from partner consumer
brands drop every Wednesday at 10 am and are pitched to a panel of
practitioners by 8 pm. AI runs through the curriculum, from research and
creative production to media buying and marketing automation, and every fellow
deploys an AI agent for their venture by the third month.

The fellowship runs four months of
curriculum and two months of placements. The fourth month ends with a pitch day
in front of a practitioner panel, after which fellows either go into
placements, with recruiters and mentors deciding on the strength of the work
they shipped, or move into the school&#039;s incubation cell, backed with a ₹50 lakh
fund, to keep building their venture. The school sums up the promise in one
line: graduate with a brand, then get a job or get funded.

&quot;Marketing is where India&#039;s consumer
brands take in most of their first-job hires, and it is also where the training
is weakest. Most programmes teach the tools and stop. Ours gives every fellow a
brand to build, live briefs from consumer brands and a room of marketers at the
end who decide whether to interview them on what they shipped,&quot; said Simar
Sekhri, Co-founder, HiveSchool of Business.

HiveSchool has set itself the goal of being
among India&#039;s top 20 business schools by 2030.

Applications for the April 2027 intake of
the AI Marketing and Entrepreneurship Fellowship are open at hiveschool.co/ai-marketing.

About HiveSchool of Business: HiveSchool
of Business is a Gurugram-based business school focused on revenue,
technology and entrepreneurship. It runs a nine-month Post Graduate Programme
built around two tracks, B2B sales and B2C growth, and places students in roles
across India, North America, Europe and the Middle East. Its first cohort
placed at an average of ₹14.67 lakh per annum. The current cohort&#039;s Day Zero
placement event in September 2026 drew 28 recruiters, including Adobe, Kaseya,
MongoDB, Sprinto and Gartner, with the highest offer at ₹31.5 lakh per annum.
The Economic Times named HiveSchool Emerging B-School of the Year at its
leadership summit in 2026.

<title>Uttaranchal University Online Bags Top Honour at College Vidya&amp;apos;s Online University Awards 2026; 25 Learners Recognised</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 

As students help assess universities on
academic quality and support, the awards also recognise individuals pursuing
higher education through online programmes

New Delhi, October 29, 2026: Uttaranchal University Online emerged as the top honouree at College
Vidya&#039;s Online University Awards 2026, held to mark the second edition of
Online Education Day. With over 100 universities considered, the awards
recognised institutions based on learner ratings and public voting across key
aspects of online education. The occasion also honoured 25 online learners from
across India for their educational achievements and individual journeys.

The university awards evaluated
institutions across five parameters: Learning Management System (LMS), Learner
Support, Exams &amp; Results, Syllabus &amp; Curriculum and Faculty &amp;
Teaching. The categories reflected key aspects of the student experience, from
digital learning platforms and academic delivery to institutional assistance
and career support.

Shoolini University Online received the
award for Learning Management System, while Uttaranchal University Online was
recognised for Learner Support. Manipal University Jaipur Online, Amity
University Online and Chandigarh University Online were honoured in the
categories of Faculty &amp; Teaching, Syllabus &amp; Curriculum, and Exams
&amp; Results, respectively. The overall Learners Choice Award went to
Uttaranchal University Online. The winners were determined through a process
that placed student feedback at the centre of the recognition.

Commenting on the awards, Rohit Gupta,
Co-Founder and COO, College Vidya, said, “As more Indians consider online
degrees, the conversation is increasingly shifting towards the quality of
education and the support learners receive throughout their journey. Students
want to know whether a programme will meet their academic needs, offer the
right guidance and help them move towards their career goals. Their experiences
can offer valuable insights into how institutions are performing. By
recognising universities through learner feedback, we hope to encourage greater
transparency and help prospective students make more informed decisions.”

In a separate recognition, 25 online
learners were honoured for their educational achievements and personal
journeys. The awardees represented students pursuing undergraduate,
postgraduate and professional programmes across universities. Their experiences
reflected the growing range of opportunities available to individuals seeking
to pursue higher education alongside other commitments.

The learner recognitions were decided by a
three-member jury comprising Rohit Gupta, Co-Founder and COO, College Vidya;
Sarvesh Madhu, Founder and CEO, Internshala; and Ravi Kapoor, former IRS
officer and Founder, The Syllabus of Life. The evaluation considered the
learners&#039; educational journeys, the

challenges they had navigated, the impact
of their achievements on their lives and communities, and the role online
education played in their progress.

“We often measure the success of education
through degrees, grades and employment outcomes. But its true impact goes much
further. The stories I came across were a powerful reminder of how access to education
can change the course of an individual’s life, create opportunities for
families and positively influence communities. As online education continues to
grow in India, we must look beyond enrolment numbers and qualifications to
understand the real difference it is making in people’s lives” said, Sarvesh
Madhu, Founder and CEO, Internshala

Online Education Day was first observed on
October 25, 2025, to recognise the growing importance of online higher
education in India. The second edition brought together universities and
learners, recognising institutions for their efforts to improve the online
learning experience and celebrating individuals who have pursued their
educational goals through online programmes. The initiative reflects the
increasing role of online education in expanding access to higher education and
supporting diverse learning journeys.

65 cities join a global movement promoting women&#039;s
fitness and well-being, with Mutual Funds Sahi Hai

Mumbai : The 4th edition of
Pinkathon Day witnessed the participation of 4,000-plus women in Mumbai from 54
locations, bringing them together through a shared commitment to physical
fitness. Organised by Pinkathon, India&#039;s biggest women&#039;s running movement, the
event saw participants take part in a 3 km run beginning at 6:00 AM,
encouraging women to incorporate physical activity into their everyday lives.
Mutual Funds Sahi Hai was the Title Partner of this year&#039;s edition.

The city&#039;s participation was part of a wider effort that
brought together over 10,000 participants across 168 locations in 65 cities in
three countries: India, Bangladesh and the Netherlands. The initiative
continued Pinkathon&#039;s efforts to build local running communities and encourage
women across age groups and fitness levels to embrace an active lifestyle.

Family participation was another highlight of this year&#039;s
edition, with major participants across the initiative joining alongside their
family members. Among the participants was a 96-year-old woman who took part
with her family, demonstrating how fitness can bring generations together.

Mr. Venkat N. Chalasani, Chief Executive, Association of
Mutual Funds in India (AMFI), “Through our association with Pinkathon Day,
we aim to encourage women to take an active role in managing their finances and
securing their financial future. Just as regular physical activity contributes
to long-term health, informed financial decisions and disciplined investing can
help build financial resilience and enable women to pursue their long-term
goals with confidence.

 

With participants coming together across 168 locations in 65
cities and three countries, Pinkathon Day provides a valuable platform to
connect women’s physical well-being with financial awareness. At AMFI, we
believe that financial inclusion goes beyond access to financial products; it
is about equipping women with the knowledge, confidence and opportunity to make
informed financial decisions, participate meaningfully in the financial system
and work towards greater financial security and independence.”

 

Milind Soman, Founder of Pinkathon, said, “Every
edition of Pinkathon Day is an opportunity to see how local communities can
come together around a shared goal. The participation across cities reflects
the efforts of our ambassadors, volunteers and running groups who encourage
women to take that first step towards fitness. What matters now is for
participants to carry this momentum into their everyday lives and find ways to
stay active beyond the event. Building a healthier lifestyle is a continuous
journey, and we hope Pinkathon Day inspires more women to make it a priority.”

As Title Partner, Mutual Funds Sahi Hai supported the
initiative in extending the conversation around women&#039;s well-being to include
financial awareness and planning. The association highlighted the importance of
informed financial decisions and long-term preparedness alongside physical
health.

The event was supported by Pinkathon&#039;s network of
ambassadors, volunteers and local running communities, who helped bring
participants together across locations. Through these community-led efforts,
Pinkathon continues to encourage women to begin their fitness journeys and
sustain healthier habits beyond organised events.

Solutions Pvt. Ltd., Pinkathon has grown into a community-driven movement that
encourages women of all ages and backgrounds to prioritise their physical, mental

<title>Rustomjee elevates Resort&#45;Style Living at La Vie with the Launch of an Exclusive Tower</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 

Mumbai, 28th October 2026: Rustomjee, one of Mumbai&#039;s leading real estate developers, in
partnership with Keppel, announced the launch of a new Tower at La Vie, its
landmark residential development in Thane. Positioned as the most premium
offering within the integrated eight-tower community, this new launch of 58-storey
tower will offer 3 BHK residences, with apartment sizes ranging from 930 to 980
sq. ft., each featuring a balcony. Designed for discerning buyers seeking
elevated living experiences, with panoramic views, a dedicated rooftop pool and
thoughtfully designed homes that reflect La Vie&#039;s resort-style living. 

Commenting on the launch, Mr. Anupam Verma,
Project CEO, Rustomjee Urbania, Rustomjee Group said, &quot;Thane has
emerged as one of the MMR’s most established housing markets, driven by
sustained infrastructure development, improved connectivity and the evolution
of a robust social fabric. As the city has grown, so have the aspirations of
homebuyers. Today, the decision to buy a home extends well beyond the
apartment, buyers are looking for quality open spaces and projects that offer a
superior living experience with long-term value. This shift reflects the
growing maturity of the market and the evolving expectations of those buying
today. 

At Rustomjee, we have always believed that
great homes are created by bringing together thoughtful design and well-planned
neighbourhoods that offer a lifestyle. La Vie was envisioned with this
philosophy at its core, bringing resort-style living into an integrated
community. This new Tower is a natural progression of that vision. It
introduces a rare offering within the La Vie ecosystem, thoughtfully designed
for larger spaces, privacy, and exceptional views, while continuing to benefit
from the larger ecosystem that defines the project.&quot;

Mr. Ho Kiam Kheong, Chief Representative,
Middle East &amp; South Asia, Keppel, said, “The launch of a new Tower builds on the strong partnership
between Keppel and Rustomjee and the positive response to La Vie’s earlier
phases. Combining thoughtfully designed homes with the benefits of an
integrated community, this Tower offers a distinctive living experience in
Thane. Together with Rustomjee, we aim to deliver quality homes that meet
homebuyers’ evolving aspirations, with functionality and liveability at their
core.&quot;

The newly launched Tower at La Vie, offers a
more exclusive residential experience with larger apartments and curated
lifestyle amenities. Each home is designed to offer greater privacy and
spacious living and select residences will also feature Rustomjee’s signature
Pod concept. Additionally, residents continue to enjoy the larger La Vie
community, with its landscaped open spaces, recreational rooftop amenities and
everyday conveniences.

Located in Thane&#039;s well-established Majiwada
micro-market, La Vie marks excellent connectivity and robust social
infrastructure, including key infrastructure projects such as Mumbai Metro Line
4, which has a dedicated station at Majiwada; and Metro Line 5 connecting Thane
with Bhiwandi and Kalyan. The area has also benefited from the ongoing and
upcoming infrastructure, including the Anand Nagar–Saket elevated road and the
proposed Eastern Freeway extension connecting Chheda Nagar to Anand Nagar,
strengthening access to key employment, commercial and social hubs. These
improvements are further supporting the evolution of Majiwada as a
well-connected address and contributing to sustained end-user demand in the
micro-market.

Following the successful launch and strong
response to La Vie, this new Tower marks the next phase of premium residential
offerings in Thane.

A three-day international showcase to bring
Indian fashion, lifestyle and D2C brands to the global stage

Mumbai, 28th October 2026: Gold Coast Films (GCF) is set to launch Bharat Runway Tour (BhaRT)
in Paris from 24–26 February 2027, creating an international platform
for India’s emerging fashion, lifestyle and D2C brands. The initiative will
give homegrown labels an opportunity to present their work to global audiences,
explore new markets and build cross-border connections.

BhaRT aims to create an opportunity by
bringing homegrown labels to Paris and connecting them with the European
fashion ecosystem. Envisioned as more than a runway showcase, the platform
seeks to foster exchange between Indian and European brands, creating avenues
for greater visibility and collaboration across both markets. 

Gold Coast Films boasts of 15-plus years of
experience working across international campaigns, fashion platforms and
brand-building initiatives. GCF has produced campaigns and content for more
than 100 brands across 50 countries. Its experience includes developing
international properties like the SCY Awards (Social Creator of the
Year), and collaborating with over 500 influencers and creators
globally.

Over the past two years, GCF has also
undertaken international fashion-week activations in Paris and New York for
brands including Palmonas, Lavie, Uppercase, The Souled Store, CaratLane and
JBL. Working across brands and international fashion markets has given the
team first-hand insight into the challenges Indian businesses face in gaining
global visibility, laying the foundation for BhaRT.

Sunny Arora and Neeraj Mishra, Co-founders,
Gold Coast Films, share: “We’ve
seen Indian D2C brands challenge conventions, build distinctive products and
dream beyond borders. With BhaRT, we aim to turn that ambition into
opportunity, giving visionary founders a global stage to showcase their brands
and connect with new markets. Paris is just the beginning.”

Gold Coast Films will manage BhaRT end to end,
from model selection, look customisation and styling to production, backstage
coordination and execution. Each participating brand is planned to receive a
curated runway presentation featuring 10 looks, presenting its design
sensibility and brand story to an international audience of media, buyers,
industry leaders and fashion enthusiasts.

Paris will mark the first stop in BhaRT’s
larger international journey, with Milan, New York and Jaipur envisioned as
future destinations. Through this multi-city initiative, GCF aims to build
lasting connections between Indian creativity and international markets, creating
new opportunities for homegrown brands to grow their global presence.

<title>Sonu Seth, Founder of BarCraft, Is Bringing a New Perspective to India’s Cocktail and Mocktail Culture</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/sonu-seth-founder-of-barcraft-is-bringing-a-new-perspective-to-indias-cocktail-and-mocktail-culture</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/sonu-seth-founder-of-barcraft-is-bringing-a-new-perspective-to-indias-cocktail-and-mocktail-culture</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

How decades of business travel and global flavour exploration inspired
an entrepreneur to rethink the way India experiences beverages.


India’s food and beverage industry has evolved considerably over the
past decade. From regional delicacies and experimental cuisines to premium
dining experiences, Indian consumers are increasingly exploring new tastes and
experiences. However, while food has witnessed a remarkable transformation, the
cocktail and mocktail segment still presents opportunities for greater
innovation, particularly in flavour, accessibility, and the overall drinking
experience. 

For entrepreneur Sonu Seth, Founder of BarCraft, this observation became
the starting point for a new business idea. Shaped by decades of business
travel, exposure to different markets, and experience in the supplement
industry, Seth began looking at India&#039;s beverage culture from a different
perspective. What emerged was a simple question: why should enjoying a
well-crafted drink require a visit to a bar, access to a professional
bartender, or a complicated preparation process? 

His answer took shape as BarCraft, a beverage brand built around the
idea of making distinctive cocktail and mocktail experiences more accessible to
Indian consumers. 

A Business Journey Shaped by Global Exposure

Seth&#039;s journey towards BarCraft did not begin in the beverage
industry. His professional experience in the supplement business and years of
travelling across markets exposed him to different consumer preferences,
product categories, and business environments. These journeys also introduced
him to diverse food cultures, beverage traditions, and flavour combinations. 

Over time, these experiences influenced the way he viewed products and
consumer experiences. Beyond the functional aspects of a product, he became
increasingly interested in what makes an experience memorable, how flavours
influence consumer preferences, and how products can be developed to meet
expectations that existing offerings may not fully satisfy. 

Travelling across markets provided him with a broader understanding of
how consumers experience food and beverages. It also encouraged him to look
beyond established categories and identify opportunities where consumer
expectations and available products did not always align. 

When he returned to India, this perspective led him to examine the
country&#039;s beverage landscape more closely. He saw a market with considerable
potential, supported by evolving consumer preferences and a growing interest in
experimenting with food and drinks. 

Yet, he felt that the beverage experience had not progressed in the
same way as India&#039;s food culture. 

Identifying the Missing Element in India&#039;s Beverage Experience


India has a rich and diverse culinary identity. Regional ingredients,
bold spices, traditional preparations, and innovative combinations have become
central to the country&#039;s evolving food culture. Seth believed that the same
emphasis on flavour, creativity, and variety deserved greater attention in beverages.


In his observation, the cocktail experience often placed greater
emphasis on alcohol, while the flavour balance, complexity, and character of
the drink did not always receive the attention they deserved. Mocktails
presented a different challenge, with consumers sometimes finding limited
variety when looking for distinctive, well-balanced, and flavourful options. 

Access was another part of the problem. A consumer wanting to enjoy a
carefully prepared cocktail or mocktail could find themselves relying on a bar,
pub, club, or bartender. Recreating a similar experience at home could involve
sourcing several ingredients, following unfamiliar recipes, and getting the
proportions right. 

For Seth, this created a gap between what consumers could potentially
experience and what was convenient for them to prepare in their everyday lives.


 The opportunity, therefore, was
not simply to introduce another syrup or beverage product. It was to rethink
the preparation and consumption experience around flavour. 

He began exploring how the complexity of a well-crafted drink could be
simplified without losing the character that makes it enjoyable. Could
consumers have access to more distinctive flavours without needing extensive
ingredients, specialised knowledge, or professional preparation?


This question became central to the thinking behind BarCraft. 

BarCraft: Turning a Market
Observation into a Brand 

 BarCraft was conceived around a
straightforward proposition: make the experience of creating cocktails and
mocktails simpler, while keeping flavour at the centre of the experience. 

The brand focuses on cocktail concentrates designed to help consumers
prepare drinks with greater ease. Rather than requiring multiple ingredients
and elaborate preparation, the concept aims to offer a more convenient way to
create a variety of beverages at home and during social occasions. 

The idea reflects Seth&#039;s broader approach to  ]]></description>

<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/moscow-international-game-week-to-host-counter-strike-2-finals</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Four teams — HOTU, 1w, 5 Stars Esports and The Huns Esports —
will compete in the Moscow Cyber Games 2026 Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) finals on
October 31 and November 1. The finals are part of the second Moscow
International Game Week, where Indian studios and industry representatives will
also present their work and meet potential partners. Fans can watch the matches
online on
the event website.

A total of 956 teams entered the qualifiers: 840 from
Europe and 116 from Asia. The open qualifiers ran from August 12 to 18, 2026.
The closed Swiss-system stage, held from August 22 to September 1, featured 16
European and eight Asian teams. The finalists are HOTU, with players from
Russia and Kazakhstan; Russian team 1w; and Mongolian teams 5 Stars Esports and
The Huns Esports.

The tournament is part of the Valve Regional Standings
(VRS), and its results affect invitations to international CS2 tournaments and
Majors. With the final taking place at the end of the ranking cycle, Russian
teams will have an opportunity to earn points and strengthen their position in
the global rankings.

India will be represented at Moscow International Game
Week by companies exhibiting at the India group stand: BUZZEDMEN STUDIO, ABRACA
DABRA SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS and Nilee Games. The Indian delegation is expected to
include Dev Mukesh, founder of Banzan, and Vijay Rakshe, co-founder and Chief
Operating Officer of TRB Funtooss Pvt Ltd. Their work spans games, comics,
animation and educational content. For Indian companies, the event offers an
opportunity to present their projects, explore the Russian games market and
connect with potential international partners.

Russia has 92 million video game players and ranks 12th
worldwide in consumer spending on games. Moscow International Game Week will
bring together developers, publishers and investors from 20 countries.

Minh Le, one of the co-creators of Counter-Strike,
headlined the first Moscow International Game Week in 2025. Speaking about
Russian developers, he said: “Back in the 90s, I played a huge number of flight
simulators, and in the West they are made very rarely. It’s great to see that
Russian developers continue to evolve this genre and build games based on it —
they have an excellent understanding of how it works.”

This
year, Ned Luke, the actor who played Michael De Santa in GTA V, will
attend the event. Luke performed the character using his voice, face and
movements, and acted out Michael’s stunts in a motion-capture suit. In 2025, he
returned to the role to voice Michael again in an update to GTA Online.

<description><![CDATA[ 



Behind every successful
financial services business lies a story of perseverance, trust and a
commitment to helping investors achieve their goals. From overcoming career
setbacks and starting small to building substantial client networks, NJ Wealth
partners Raju Pawar, Atul Naik, Tarang Pandya, Dhanil Shah, Prateek and Pranav
have followed different paths towards a shared vision. Their journeys reflect
how technology, investor education and NJ Wealth’s operational support have
helped them grow their businesses while strengthening client relationships.
With a focus on disciplined investing and goal-based financial planning, these
Mutual Fund Distributors continue to help families work towards important life
milestones while expanding their reach and building sustainable businesses.

An Insurance Career That Became a Foundation for Mutual Fund
Distribution

Raju Pawar’s journey from Maharashtra’s Azra taluka to Pune’s
financial services sector reflects resilience, patience and trust. After
completing his B.Sc. in Chemistry and postgraduate studies, he moved to Pune in
1997 and entered financial services following the termination of his
manufacturing job.

Inspired by his father’s association with LIC, Pawar began his
insurance career on January 26, 1998, and expanded into health insurance in
2003. Over the years, handling around 40 death claims reinforced his belief in
the importance of financial protection.

Today, Pawar manages approximately ₹110 crore in assets under
management (AUM), with a monthly SIP book of ₹95 lakh, serving around 700
clients, including overseas investors.

His 13-year association with NJ Wealth has helped modernise
operations through technology, training and team support. The E-Wealth platform
increased his account-opening efficiency from one form per hour to around 10
accounts hourly.

Pawar aims to reach ₹1,000 crore in AUM, prioritising investor
trust and disciplined investing.

From an Internet Café to Financial Success: Atul Naik’s Journey
with NJ Wealth

Atul Naik’s journey into financial services began after the IT
bubble crash in 2001 affected his internet café business. Seeking a sustainable
opportunity, he entered general insurance in 2004 and joined NJ Wealth in 2008,
building his network through friends and relatives in Chhatrapati Sambhaji
Nagar.

Today, Naik manages assets under management (AUM) of
approximately ₹146 crore, with an SIP book of ₹1.13 crore and nearly 1,000
customers. Starting with an SIP book of just ₹1.20 lakh, he has focused on
understanding clients’ financial goals, investment horizons and risk-taking
abilities.

NJ Wealth supported his growth through training, technology and
guidance, helping him adapt from paperwork-based operations to digital systems.

For Naik, client success remains his greatest reward. “You
cannot describe the satisfaction in words when a client calls and says that
their objective has been achieved because of you,” he says.

His wife and daughter are also part of the family business,
Vedika Investment, strengthening its legacy.

From a Young Start-Up to a ₹325-Crore Business: Vanijya
Financial Services’ Journey with NJ Wealth

Tarang Pandya and Dhanil Shah founded Vanijya Financial Services
in 2012 after identifying a gap between clients’ financial goals and the
products offered. Drawing on their experience at ICICI Prudential Life
Insurance Company, they built a business centred on understanding customer
needs.

Today, the firm manages assets under management (AUM) of ₹325
crore, offering mutual funds, insurance, fixed deposits and bonds. Despite
challenges in building trust in their early twenties, they acquired their first
1,000 clients within four years. They have also conducted over 32 investment
awareness programmes, reaching more than 10,000 people.

NJ Wealth has supported their growth through integrated
technology and operational assistance, allowing them to focus on client
relationships. “We owe a lot to NJ for this amazing journey,” Pandya said.

Expanding beyond Ahmedabad and Bhavnagar, Vanijya serves NRI
clients in Dubai, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. The firm remains
committed to goal-based investing, helping families plan for education,
marriage, home ownership and retirement.

From Childhood Friendship to a ₹130-Crore Business with NJ
Wealth

Childhood friends Prateek and Pranav turned their shared
entrepreneurial dream into a growing financial services business. After losing
his father during engineering, Prateek experienced the difficulties families
face while managing financial affairs, inspiring him to help others.

In 2017, the duo joined NJ Wealth, gaining access to technology,
training, guidance and a platform to build their practice. Today, they serve
around 1,300 clients, managing assets worth ₹128–130 crore, with a monthly SIP
book of approximately ₹1.13 crore. They crossed ₹100 crore in assets on January
8, 2026.

Their journey involved challenges, including travelling long
distances to col ]]></description>

<title>Only Good brings New Zealand&#45;made, certified natural products to India</title>

Only Good is available in India for the
first time, exclusively through Kiwiyāna

Mumbai, 28 October 2026 :  Only Good, the New Zealand beauty brand made by
Apex Brands, is now available in India for the first time, exclusively through
Kiwiyāna, Apex Brands&#039; authorised distributor. India begins with seven hand and
body washes, certified natural by Biorius. In New Zealand, the wider Only Good
range spans hand and body washes, refills and baby care.

India already knows New Zealand for
kiwifruit, apples, mānuka honey, lamb, green-lipped mussels and Sauvignon
Blanc.

Only Good brings that familiarity from the
table into the shower, and to the bathroom and kitchen counters.

“With the India New Zealand free trade agreement now in force, I am glad to see
New Zealand brands reaching Indian homes across more categories, including
personal care. Trade between our two countries has already doubled since 2023,
and expanding into consumer goods is a natural next step as commercial momentum
builds.” 

Graham Rouse, Trade Commissioner /
Consul General - India &amp; South Asia, New Zealand Trade &amp; Enterprise

The hand and body washes come in four
colour worlds, each with its own scent: Coconut Milk, Sage &amp; Lime Zest,
Peach &amp; Honeysuckle and Cedarwood &amp; Juniper. 

Prickly pear runs through all four, helping skin look smoother. In Coconut
Milk, Jojoba seed oil supports the skin’s lipid barrier. The body wash adds
SyriCalm™, which soothes. Sage &amp; Lime Zest brings aloe vera and sage to
help calm and retain the skin’s natural moisture levels, and pomegranate and
lime pearl to help revitalise and brighten. Then Peach &amp; Honeysuckle and
Cedarwood &amp; Juniper: both contain Vinanza Kiwi, extracted from the skins of
kiwifruit grown in New Zealand, which locks in moisture and protects skin.

&quot;People put real thought into their
bathrooms, but the bottle beside the shower or sink is often an afterthought,&quot;
said Akash Sood, Co-founder &amp; Director of Kiwiyāna. &quot;Only
Good&#039;s bottle is designed to be kept out on the counter, and kept for
years.&quot;

Built to last through repeated use, it is
made with recycled and sugarcane-based HDPE, with artwork screen-printed directly
onto the bottle rather than carried on a plastic label that can peel, making
for a simpler path to recycling. Designed to be kept. The packaging won
WorldStar 2025 and PIDA Gold 2024 awards.

Only Good also carries the FernMark, the
New Zealand Government&#039;s official mark of origin, licensed only to products
that meet its New Zealand-origin criteria. Apex Brands holds FernMark licence
100709.

Only Good is available through Kiwiyāna on Amazon India and onlygood.in, with delivery across India.

<title>Monsoon 2026: Why Indian Car Owners Need to Rethink Their Insurance Add&#45;Ons</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/monsoon-2026-why-indian-car-owners-need-to-rethink-their-insurance-add-ons</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/monsoon-2026-why-indian-car-owners-need-to-rethink-their-insurance-add-ons</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 



The 2026 southwest monsoon was forecast to be
a weak one. In April, the India Meteorological Department expected the season
to deliver about 92% of the rainfall India normally receives between June and
September. By the end of May it had revised that down to roughly 90%, putting
the odds of a below-normal season at 84%. By early August, the country had
received about 11% less rain than a normal year to that date.

None
of that prevented the flooding. Monsoon floods and landslides killed more 100
people across India from July onwards, with Assam worst affected at 87 deaths,
alongside fatalities in Kerala and Jammu and Kashmir. For car owners, this is
the point worth absorbing: a weak monsoon season is not a low-risk monsoon
season.

Why
the Seasonal Number Misleads

Research
from the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, led by Roxy Mathew Koll,
documents a threefold rise in widespread extreme rainfall events over central
India since 1950. Critically, that rise has occurred against a backdrop of
declining mean monsoon rainfall. The pattern is longer dry spells punctuated by
short, very intense downpours, with fewer moderate rainfall days in between.

For
a vehicle owner, the distribution matters more than the seasonal total. Rain
that would once have fallen across a fortnight can now arrive in a few hours,
which is how waterlogging appears on a day when the season’s overall rainfall
still looks unremarkable. A forecast of a weak monsoon says very little about
the risk on any single day.

The
season is also not finished. IMD’s extended range guidance flagged the possible
development of positive Indian Ocean Dipole conditions in September, and the
northeast monsoon between October and December still lies ahead for Tamil Nadu,
coastal Andhra Pradesh and parts of Karnataka and Kerala.

Where
Standard Cover Stops

A
third-party policy, the legal minimum, covers damage caused to others. It pays
nothing towards a flooded car of your own. A comprehensive policy does cover
flood damage, and a vehicle that is parked when floodwater rises is generally a
straightforward own-damage claim, provided the insurer is informed promptly.

What
changes the outcome is what happens next. If the engine is started once water
has entered it, the resulting damage is treated as consequential and is generally
excluded from a standard comprehensive policy. Knowingly driving into a flooded
stretch can also affect a claim, though a driver caught out by sudden flooding
is in a different position from one who chose to cross it. Outcomes turn on the
circumstances and on the terms of the individual policy, which is why the
sequence of events after a flood matters as much as the flood itself.

Mallikarjun
Mallannavar, Chief Claims Officer at Royal Sundaram, noted: “Almost every
monsoon we see claims where the water damage was covered and the extension of
engine damage was not, because the car was restarted in standing water. If a
vehicle stalls in a flooded stretch, the right action is to leave the ignition
alone and call for recovery. That one decision often decides the outcome.”

The Add-Ons That Decide
a Flood Claim





●       
Engine Protection Cover: Covers
extension of damage or aggravation due to water ingress damage to engine
and gearbox, the main exclusion in a standard comprehensive policy.

●       
Zero Depreciation: Pays
full value on replaced parts including plastics, rubber and electricals, which
dominate water-damage repairs.

●       
Consumables Cover:
Oils, lubricants, coolant and fluids, all replaced in volume after submersion.

●       
Return to Invoice: Bridges
the gap between IDV and invoice value if the vehicle is written off in a flood.

●       
Roadside Assistance: Recovery
and flatbed towing without restarting the vehicle

●       
Personal Belongings / Key Replacement: Common
secondary losses in urban waterlogging





Priority varies by geography. Coastal and
heavy-rainfall belts such as Mumbai, coastal Karnataka and Kerala justify
engine protection first. Metro commuters in Bengaluru, Gurugram, Noida and Pune
benefit most from the combination of engine protection and zero depreciation,
given how often short, intense rainfall affects routine routes.

If Your Car Is
Submerged





●       
Do not attempt to start the engine, and do not
switch the ignition on to check.

●       
Photograph the vehicle in place, including the
water level against the body, before it is moved.

●       
Inform your insurer before arranging recovery,
and use flatbed towing rather than a tow rope.

●       
Take the vehicle to a network garage so the
assessment and settlement can be handled cashless.





Mallikarjun Mallannavar, Chief Claims Officer

<description><![CDATA[ 

OneConsent in association with PHDCCI marks a step towards
helping businesses strengthen their readiness for India’s Digital Personal Data
Protection Act, with a focus on Compliance Practices, Consent Management and
Data Governance.

NEW DELHI, 28 October 2026 : OneConsent, an AI-powered, DPDP-compliant
Consent Management Platform, partnered with the PHD Chamber of Commerce and
Industry (PHDCCI) to help businesses strengthen their readiness for India’s
Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDPA). The collaboration was
marked by the DPDP Readiness Forum, held on October 16, 2026, at PHD House, New
Delhi, and sponsored by OneConsent.

Organized under the theme “Deciphering DPDPA: Ready
or at Risk? The Rules Are Clear. Are You Ready?”, the seminar brought
together experts from legal, cybersecurity, business and technology backgrounds
to explore practical approaches to data protection readiness. Discussions
centered on organizational accountability, consent management, data security
and the integration of privacy into everyday business operations.

Delivering the welcome address, Mohit Luthra,
Assistant Secretary General, PHDCCI, said, “As India moves toward the DPDP
Act implementation, industry must see data protection as a business priority.
PHDCCI is pleased to partner with OneConsent in bringing together experts and
practitioners to help businesses prepare for the growing importance of data
protection and DPDPA compliance.”

In his keynote address, Soumya Chatterjee,
Co-Founder &amp; CEO, OneConsent, emphasized the need for organizations to
translate regulatory requirements into actionable compliance measures.

“The true measure of DPDP readiness lies in an
organization’s ability to establish accountability, operationalize consent, and
embed privacy into its business operations. Compliance sets the foundation, but
lasting trust depends on transparent processes, responsible data use, and clear
accountability. Businesses must move beyond meeting regulatory requirements
today and build the practices needed to thrive in a post-DPDP mandate world,”
he said.

The keynote was followed by panel discussions addressing
legal requirements, cybersecurity challenges and business priorities for
effective DPDP compliance. Amandeep Singh Khurana, Founder, Intersect
Solutions, and former Head of Loyalty &amp; Subscriptions, PVR INOX Ltd.,
moderated the proceedings, bringing a business perspective to the challenges of
collecting and using customer data.

The forum also showcased the OneConsent platform in action
by Chatterjee, demonstrating consent collection, withdrawal and audit trails.

As part of the collaboration, OneConsent and PHDCCI will
continue to engage industry stakeholders through future initiatives focused on
awareness, knowledge sharing and preparedness. These engagements will help
businesses better understand their responsibilities and develop the
capabilities needed to address DPDP requirements.

Management Platform designed to support businesses in meeting DPDPA
requirements. It enables organizations to manage the consent lifecycle,

<title>Rareism (from The House of Rare) x Shibani Akhtar explore the many Expressions of Modern Femininity</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 

The
collaboration brings Rareism’s contemporary design language into focus,
showcasing its breadth across women’s westernwear, from everyday dressing and
modern workwear to occasion-led styles.
Website: https://rareism.com/pages/rareism-shibani
October 2026:Rareism, the contemporary womenswear label from The House of Rare, brings
Shibani Akhtar into its Autumn/Winter 2026
campaign in a collaboration that
places personal style at the centre of the conversation.  Moving beyond the idea of a singular fashion
identity, the campaign explores the many ways a woman can dress, feel and
express herself - sometimes understated, sometimes unapologetically expressive,
always on her own terms.
For Shibani, who comes with a multi-faceted career, the appeal of fashion lies
in its capacity for transformation without the loss of individuality. That
sensibility finds a natural counterpart in Rareism’s AW26
collection, which moves between fluid femininity and sharper structure,
painterly prints and restrained palettes, everyday separates and occasion-led
dressing. The collaboration is less about a prescribed aesthetic than the
possibilities that emerge when a distinct personal style meets an intentional
design point of view.
“Fashion, for me, has never been about
staying within one definition of who you are. I like the freedom to move
between moods and experiment with how I present myself. That is what made this
collaboration with Rareism interesting. The collection offers different
expressions of style without making them feel like different versions of
someone else. I could bring my own personality to each look, and that made the
campaign feel personal,”says Shibani
Akhtar.
A wardrobe of contrasts
Rareism’s AW26 collection is built around the interplay of softness and
structure, print and texture, restraint and expression. Rather than following a
single visual direction, the season brings together distinct design stories
that offer different interpretations of contemporary dressing.
Serene Bloom, the first story, works
with fluid chiffons, satins and modals, set against warm browns, rust and deep
olive. Abstract painterly prints and subtle golden trims lend the story a quiet
richness.  Painter’s Autumn takes a more assertive approach, bringing
oversized florals in ash pink, deep purple and rust into focus, alongside
orange ombré prints across dresses, muslin shirts, pleated skirts and
separates.
The second drop Blush &amp; Bark finds
its expression in lightweight satin tops, coordinated separates and a muted
winter palette.  The Quiet Bloom,  the third
drop, moves towards a more structured femininity through midi dresses,
jacquard co-ords, voluminous blouses and plaid sets, with tailored tops,
trousers, crop jackets and skirts offering a contemporary workwear vocabulary.
The season extends into Guild, Party and Festive edits, alongside dedicated
flat-knit and outerwear offerings. Satin moves beyond dresses and skirts into
blazers, trousers and waistcoats, while elevated knits, pointelle tops,
embellished tees and coordinated winter sets extend the collection across every
day, evening and occasion dressing.
Commenting on the collaboration, Akshika
Poddar, Co-Founder, The House of Rare, says,  “We
have never wanted Rareism to tell women how they should dress. Our interest
lies in creating clothes that give them something to respond to - a silhouette,
a print, a detail that feels distinctly their own. With this collection, we
wanted to bring together contrasting expressions of femininity without making
one more desirable than the other. Shibani brought a natural character to that
idea, which made her the right person to front this campaign.”
With Shibani at the centre of its AW26
campaign, Rareism presents a contemporary wardrobe that embraces contrast
as an essential part of personal style. The collection moves across
silhouettes, textures and occasions, leaving space for the woman wearing it to
make the final statement.

The facility supports computationally intensive research, including artificial
intelligence applications, advanced simulations and data-driven scientific
investigations.

Beyond academic research, the Deemed-to-be University is encouraging
innovation and entrepreneurship through Research, Innovation, Development and
Entrepreneurship (RIDE), a premier startup incubation program. This focuses on
supporting research activities, nurturing innovative ideas and encouraging
entrepreneurial development among students and researchers. According to the
institutional highlights, 15 startups are associated with JIIT&#039;s innovation
activities, demonstrating the Institute&#039;s efforts to promote entrepreneurship
alongside academic learning.

Industry engagement and international academic partnerships also form
part of the Deemed-to-be University&#039;s development strategy. The Institute has
established collaborations with organisations including Wipro and the Airports
Authority of India, alongside academic associations with the University of
Florida, Charles Sturt University (Australia), University of York, Iowa State
University and others.

These collaborations are intended to facilitate knowledge exchange,
strengthen academic engagement and create opportunities for industry-oriented
learning. They also reflect the Institute&#039;s focus on connecting academic
programmes with technological developments and professional requirements.

Career development is another area of emphasis, supported by JIIT&#039;s dedicated Training and Placement Cell. The
cell facilitates internships, skill development, industry interactions and
recruitment preparation to help students transition from academic learning to
professional careers.

According to placement figures reported by the Institute, more than
494 companies visited for recruitment for the 2026 graduating batch, with the
highest reported placement package reaching ₹94.25 lakh.

As India&#039;s higher education landscape increasingly emphasises
interdisciplinary learning, advanced research and industry-relevant skills,
this Deemed-to-be University continues to develop its academic infrastructure
and institutional collaborations.

Through its focus on emerging technologies, research capabilities,
innovation initiatives and career development, the Institute aims to contribute
to the evolving requirements of higher education while preparing students for
opportunities in a technology-driven economy. ]]></description>

<title>Gandhar Oil Refinery Q2 Results Posted Steller results: Net profit jumps over 4&#45;fold, revenue surges 73%</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/gandhar-oil-refinery-q2-results-posted-steller-results-net-profit-jumps-over-4-fold-revenue-surges-73</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/gandhar-oil-refinery-q2-results-posted-steller-results-net-profit-jumps-over-4-fold-revenue-surges-73</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

Gandhar Oil Refinery (India) Ltd reported a substantial increase in
consolidated net profit to ₹186 crore in the second quarter of FY27,
marking a 368% rise from the previous year. The company achieved its
highest-ever quarterly revenue of ₹1,847 crore, up 73% YoY.

Key Highlights

●      Consolidated net profit rose 368% YoY to ₹186 crore in Q2FY27 

●      Revenue hit a record high of ₹1,847 crore, up 73% YoY 

●      Exceptional item of ₹21.29 crore booked for flood-related losses
at Silvassa unit 

●      Trade receivables increased significantly to ₹1,338.95 crore
from March-end levels 

●      CRISIL reaffirmed A+/Stable rating with enhanced bank facilities


This performance contrasts sharply with the sequential decline noted
in prior reporting periods, highlighting strong year-on-year momentum. The
company’s EBITDA expanded significantly to ₹288 crore, reflecting
improved operational efficiency and favorable market conditions despite
geopolitical headwinds in West Asia.

The gross margin spread sustained at ₹29,128 per kl, which is 3.0x
higher than the previous year, directly contributed to this profitability
surge. H1FY27 revenue stood at ₹3,579 crore, up 82% YoY, while H1FY27 PAT
reached ₹392 crore, a 495% increase.

While the existing article highlighted a quarter-on-quarter dip in
profitability relative to the immediate preceding quarter, the new data reveals
a robust year-on-year trajectory. Revenue growth of 73% was accompanied by a
disproportionate 337% increase in EBITDA, indicating substantial operating
leverage and margin expansion rather than the contraction previously observed
in sequential terms.

A key divergence is visible between the top-line growth and margin
expansion. While revenue grew 73%, the gross margin percentage jumped 880 bps
YoY to 21.0%, and EBITDA margin expanded 940 bps YoY to 15.6%. This suggests
that the profitability surge was driven not just by volume or price increases,
but by a significant improvement in the manufacturing gross margin spread,
which rose from ₹130 per kl in Q2FY26 to ₹388 per kl in Q2FY27.

The balance sheet reflects significant working capital expansion
alongside revenue growth. Consolidated trade receivables surged to ₹1,338.95
crore as on September 30, 2026, from ₹720.88 crore as on March 31, 2026.
Concurrently, inventories increased to ₹736.78 crore from ₹644.31 crore over
the same period.

Despite the high receivables, the company generated positive operating
cash flows of ₹179.74 crore in H1FY27, compared to ₹127.77 crore in
FY26. This indicates that despite the buildup in working capital assets, the
underlying cash generation remained robust, supported by strong profitability
before tax of ₹511.85 crore in the half-year. ]]></description>

<title>From AI Pilots to Enterprise&#45;Wide Impact: IIT Roorkee Programme Prepares Leaders to Govern and Scale AI</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/from-ai-pilots-to-enterprise-wide-impact-iit-roorkee-programme-prepares-leaders-to-govern-and-scale-ai</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/from-ai-pilots-to-enterprise-wide-impact-iit-roorkee-programme-prepares-leaders-to-govern-and-scale-ai</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

As organisations move from
AI experimentation to enterprise-wide adoption, leaders must decide which
initiatives merit investment, how to govern autonomous systems and how to
translate pilots into measurable business outcomes.

The challenge is evident in
the research. Gartner reports that 83% of CEOs identified AI as the technology
most likely to affect their industries over the next three years. Separately,
only 26% of executives rated their C-suite peers as confident and proficient in
AI. PwC’s 2026 Digital Trends in Operations Survey found that 89% of operations
and supply chain leaders at US companies said their technology investments had
not fully delivered expected results.

Against
this backdrop, iHUB DivyaSampark, IIT
Roorkee , is offering the Executive Certificate in Digital Transformation for
Leaders with AI (DTAI), a five-month,
leadership-focused programme designed to help senior professionals evaluate,
govern and scale AI across their organisations. Its central premise is that the
gap is not simply in the technology, but in the leadership required to integrate
it into business strategy, operating models and decision-making. No coding
experience is required.

Moving beyond AI experimentation

The programme addresses the
decisions leaders face when evaluating AI proposals, assessing GenAI and
Agentic AI applications, and determining how initiatives can progress from
pilots to enterprise adoption. Its curriculum is structured across seven
pillars and 20 modules, spanning digital transformation foundations,
intelligent systems, enterprise operating models, functional applications,
leadership and investment, industry-specific learning, and an executive
capstone.

A distinctive focus is the
governance of Agentic AI. Participants explore how AI agents reason, remember
and plan, alongside enterprise use cases, multi-agent collaboration and the
risks of autonomous execution. The curriculum also addresses human-in-the-loop
systems, accountability, guardrails and the considerations leaders should
evaluate before deploying Agentic AI. GenAI topics include enterprise large language
models (LLMs), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), hallucination management
and AI reliability at a conceptual level.

The programme
also examines why AI pilots can fail to scale and what organisations need to
move beyond isolated experiments. Key areas include:


 Enterprise
     AI strategy: Identify high-value opportunities, assess AI readiness
     and prioritise initiatives against business objectives.
 Operating
     models and governance: Explore AI-ready enterprise structures,
     centralised versus federated approaches, human-AI workflows and change
     readiness.
 Investment
     and value realisation: Develop AI business cases, assess return on
     investment, evaluate vendors and consider procurement and cost-benefit
     trade-offs.
 Cross-functional
     transformation: Examine AI applications across marketing, finance,
     risk, operations, supply chains and workforce management.


Participants can choose one
of two industry tracks: AI in Traditional Sectors, covering areas such as BFSI,
healthcare, government, infrastructure and energy; or AI in Technology and
Digital Business, covering technology, IT services, e-commerce, media,
direct-to-consumer businesses and global capability centres.

Applying strategy to organisational challenges

Practical application runs
through the learning journey. Participants work on AI readiness assessment,
business model design, human-AI workflow redesign and transformation planning.
The executive capstone brings these elements together, requiring participants
to develop an enterprise AI transformation strategy, including a prioritised
roadmap, operating model blueprint, governance considerations, implementation
approach and executive presentation.

The programme
combines two live online sessions each week, led by industry experts and
programme leaders, with approximately 10 hours of live online masterclasses
delivered by faculty members from IITs and other premier institutions.

iHUB DivyaSampark is a
Technology Innovation Hub at IIT Roorkee, established under the National
Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS), initiated by the
Department of Science &amp; Technology, Government of India. It is a Section 8
company.

Programme details and eligibility

The programme
is intended for business and functional leaders, digital transformation
professionals, consultants, strategy specialists, and innovation, product and
technology leaders responsible for organisational change. Applicants must hold
a bachelor&#039;s degree or higher; diploma holders with at least three years of
work experience are also eligible.


 Duration:

<title>Asian Champions Trophy: Turf Maintenance Completed at Jalandhar and Mohali Venues</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 

Punjab is hosting the Hero Asian Champions Trophy for the
first time, welcoming six national teams for the ninth edition of the
continental tournament. India, Bangladesh, China, Japan, Malaysia and South
Korea will compete for the title, with the league stage beginning in Jalandhar
on 27 October and running until 2 November. The tournament will then move to
Mohali for the semi-finals and final on 4 and 5 November, respectively. All
matches are open to spectators free of charge
As part of the Punjab Government’s preparations for the event, Hyderabad-based
Great SportsTech Limited has carried out thorough maintenance of the playing
surfaces at both venues: the Olympian Surjit Singh Hockey Stadium in Jalandhar
and the Olympian Balbir Singh Senior International Hockey Stadium in Mohali.
Through everyday use, dust and debris settle into a synthetic pitch, slowing
the ball and holding back water that should drain away. The crew used Horger
machines built specifically for hockey turf to lift and groom the pile, extract
the build-up and restore drainage. They also checked the seams and inspected
the pipelines on both pitches, so the surfaces give players the pace and true
roll they expect at the top level.
Jalandhar has a personal link for the company, which laid the stadium’s
FieldTurf surface in 2023. That same pitch will now host India’s title defence,
beginning with the opener against Bangladesh. The venue carries meaning for the
squad too, as several Indian players developed their game here.
With both pitches ready, attention now turns to the competition. Over ten days,
six nations will compete for continental honours in a state that has given
India generations of athletes. For local fans, the tournament offers a rare
opportunity to watch Asia’s best teams up close. For young players across
Punjab, it is a chance to witness the highest levels of the game, draw
inspiration from international athletes and see what dedication and hard work
can make possible. Beyond the tournament, the experience could leave a lasting
impression on the next generation of hockey players, inspiring them to pursue
the sport and aspire to compete at the highest level. ]]></description>

<title>RARE’Z FROM THE HOUSE OF RARE INTRODUCES MONTARE, BRINGING A SHARPER EDGE TO EVERYDAY SNEAKER DRESSING FOR MEN AND WOMEN</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/rarez-from-the-house-of-rare-introduces-montare-bringing-a-sharper-edge-to-everyday-sneaker-dressing-for-men-and-women</link>

<description><![CDATA[ 

October 2026 :  The line
between formal footwear and sneakers has become increasingly fluid. Montare,
the latest collection from Rare’Z by The House of Rare, takes its cue from this
shift, bringing a more tailored sensibility to a category largely defined by
casual dressing.  Built around flat soles, clean proportions and supple leather, the
collection makes a case for the sneaker as an alternative to conventional
formal footwear, without losing the ease that makes it an everyday staple.

The proposition extends beyond
appearance.  Soft leather moulds to the foot for a close, GLOVE-LIKE fit, while its breathable construction supports all-day
wear.  Elastic laces and flexible
collars provide a secure hold while allowing for easy SLIP-ON functionality. The focus is on the interplay of material,
fit and silhouette, with each element serving a clear purpose in the design.

The key motif, drawn from Montare’s logo, adds a distinctive
signature to the collection. More than a design detail, it reflects the idea
behind Montare - a higher standard defined by the little things that set a
product apart.

The collection comprises four variants: K and K7 for men, and Q and Q7
for women. 
The K and Q are defined by flatter
toe shapes and streamlined profiles, with stylised R panels providing a visual
signature.  The K7 and Q7 offer a softer counterpoint, with rounded toes and
gathered elastic collars. Select variants feature subtle debossed branding and
metal lining trim, while the Q and Q7
come with two lace options, including printed laces. A palette spanning muted
neutrals, earthy tones and more expressive shades allows the detailing and
shape to take precedence.

For Mr. Manish Poddar, Founder &amp; Creative Director, The House of
Rare &amp; Rare’Z,  the thinking
behind Montare centres on the elements that determine how footwear performs and
presents itself.
“Good design is as much about what you
choose to leave out as what you choose to put in. With Montare, the intention
was to find the right balance in proportion, to give each silhouette its own
character without overworking it. I’m particularly interested in how a small
shift in shape or a detail that might seem incidental can change the entire
personality of a shoe. That is where the design comes alive - when every
decision feels deliberate, but the end result feels instinctive.”

With Montare, Rare’Z builds on the evolving role of the sneaker in
everyday dressing, where distinctions between casual and formal are
increasingly shaped by design rather than convention. 

About The House of Rare
Established in 2015 under the Radhamani Textiles umbrella, led by Mr. Manish
Poddar – Founder, The House of Rare; and Mrs. Akshika Poddar – Co-Founder, The
House of Rare, has bloomed into a multifaceted fashion powerhouse. Housing both

touchpoints across Exclusive Brand Stores, Large Format Retail, and Multi-Brand

aesthetic into footwear, combining sleek design, refined craftsmanship, and

<description><![CDATA[ 

Both properties
recognised for excellence in workplace health and safety management.

India, 27th October, 2026 : 
RMZ Ecoworld 30 and RMZ Infinity have each been awarded the British
Safety Council’s Sword of Honour 2026, recognising excellence in the management
of health and safety risks at work.

The
two properties are among 80+ successful applicants to receive the award this
year. Both qualified after achieving the maximum five-star rating in the
British Safety Council’s health and safety management audit during the
assessment period of 1 August 2025 to 31 July 2026. They subsequently
demonstrated to an independent panel of experts that excellence in health and
safety management extends throughout their operations, from on-ground teams to
senior leadership.

The
British Safety Council’s Five-Star Audit recognised RMZ Infinity and RMZ
Ecoworld 30 for their robust health and safety management systems, including
proactive risk management, leadership engagement, employee participation,
operational controls and a strong culture of continuous improvement. The
assessment involved a detailed evidence-based review across more than 50 best-practice
indicators, including documentation audits, management and employee interviews
and onsite operational observations. 

A
key measurable outcome was that both campuses achieved the prestigious
Five-Star Rating in their very first audit attempt last year and this year as
well, an uncommon distinction. Building on this achievement, RMZ Ecoworld 30
was subsequently awarded the British Safety Council’s Sword of Honour both last
year and this year while RMZ Infinity, BLR got the Sword of Honour this year, a
global recognition reserved for organisations that not only achieve Five-Star
status but also demonstrate exceptional commitment to continuous improvement
and world-class safety performance.

For
RMZ, the recognition reinforces the importance of health and safety in the
everyday management of its workplaces. It acknowledges the responsibility
shared by property management teams, service partners and leadership in
maintaining safe working environments.

About
the Awards
The 2026 awards mark the 47 th 
consecutive year in which British Safety Council has awarded the Sword of Honour for health and safety management
excellence and the fourteenth year of awarding the Globe of Honour for excellence in environmental
management. This is the third year that the Shield of Honour has been awarded to organisations
which can demonstrate excellence in wellbeing management, and the first year
that the Guardian of Honour has been awarded to organisations
which have demonstrated exceptional leadership, commitment, and competency in
the field of process safety management.

The
winners achieved the maximum five stars in British Safety Council’s independent
Five-Star health and safety and/or
environmental management and/or wellbeing and/or process safety audits in the period 1 August 2025 to 31
July 2026 in the UK. They also demonstrated to an independent adjudication
panel that they had a proven track record and culture of best practice for
excellence in health and safety or environmental management that runs throughout
the business, from the shop floor to the boardroom.  ]]></description>

<title>G Square Group India’s Largest Plotted Developer Signs MoU with JSW One Homes as Its Home Building Platform Partner</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 

~ The collaboration aims to
bridge the gap between plot ownership and home construction, offering G Square
customers access to JSW One Homes’ technology-enabled, turnkey home
construction platform services and quality building materials

Chennai, 27th
October, 2026 : G Square Group, India’s
largest plotted developer, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with
JSW One Homes, subsidiary of JSW One Platforms and a part of JSW Group. Under
the MoU, JSW One Homes will be the Home Building Platform Partner for G Square.
The collaboration brings together G Square Group’s expertise in land
aggregation and plotted real estate with JSW One Homes’ technology-enabled home
construction platform, with a shared aim to make building a home more
convenient, transparent and quality-focused.

For many homebuyers, purchasing a
plot is only the first step towards realising the dream of owning a home. Managing
construction costs, sourcing quality materials, coordinating execution and
maintaining timelines can make building a home a complex undertaking. Through
this association, G Square Group and JSW One Homes aim to bridge the gap
between plot ownership and home construction, enabling customers to explore
construction solutions that align with their requirements, budgets and
timelines.

The collaboration aims to give
customers a more coordinated homebuilding experience with clear cost visibility
and access to quality building materials. By connecting plot buyers with JSW
One Homes’ technology-enabled home construction platform, it seeks to assist
customers make informed decisions and plan their construction budgets, while
retaining the flexibility to choose the specifications that suit their needs. 

JSW One Homes’ technology-enabled
home construction platform brings a structured and coordinated approach to the
construction process. Combined with G Square Group’s expertise in plotted real
estate, this creates an opportunity to simplify the transition from owning a
plot to building a home. The collaboration aims to improve convenience and cost
visibility while enabling customers to navigate construction planning and
execution more efficiently.

Commenting on the partnership,  Mr.
Bala Ramajayam, Founder and Managing Director, G Square Group , said, “At G Square, we believe that purchasing a
plot and building a villa offers customers distinct advantages in terms of
cost, ownership and long-term value. Building a villa on their own plot gives
customers the opportunity to create a home suited to their needs on land they
own. Unlike buying an apartment, where customers may wait several years for
possession, this approach lets customers plan the construction of their own
home, with timelines that depend on design finalisation, statutory approvals,
site readiness and project scope. Further, plot ownership allows customers to
retain ownership of the entire parcel of land, without the undivided share
(UDS) dilution inherent in apartment ownership. Through our association with
JSW One Homes, our Home Building Platform Partner, we aim to make villa
construction more convenient, with greater cost visibility, bringing together
the advantages of land ownership and a more streamlined construction process.
We see this as a compelling proposition for customers looking to build a home
today on land they own.”

The association brings together G
Square Group’s plotted real estate expertise and JSW One Homes’
technology-enabled home construction capabilities, with the aim of helping more
customers take the next step from owning land to building a home.

About G Square Group:

G Square Group is India&#039;s largest
plotted developer, with over 25,000+ happy customers and has aggregated 10,000+
acres of land across India. Known for secure communities, verified legal
compliance, and transparent processes, with hassle-free transactions. G
Square&#039;s footprint spans across Chennai, Coimbatore, Trichy, Mysuru, Hyderabad,
Madurai, Erode, Tirunelveli, Tuticorin, Pollachi, Hosur and more. For over 14+

future-ready infrastructure across

<title>The COO Role Has Outgrown Efficiency: Why Operations Leaders Are Becoming Architects of Enterprise Transformation</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/the-coo-role-has-outgrown-efficiency-why-operations-leaders-are-becoming-architects-of-enterprise-transformation</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/the-coo-role-has-outgrown-efficiency-why-operations-leaders-are-becoming-architects-of-enterprise-transformation</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

For years, the Chief Operating Officer was
associated with a familiar mandate: improve efficiency, control costs and
ensure execution. That mandate is changing. As AI enters core workflows, supply
networks face greater volatility and customers expect faster, more responsive
experiences, operations has become closely tied to strategy. The COO is
increasingly being asked not simply to make the organisation run better, but to
rethink how it runs.

This shift is visible in the technology
landscape. PwC&#039;s 2025 Digital Trends in Operations Survey found that 57% of
operations and supply chain leaders had integrated AI into selected functions
or throughout their organisations, while 92% cited at least one reason why
technology investments had not fully delivered expected results. Integration
complexity and data issues were among the common barriers.

Against this backdrop, the IIM
Lucknow Chief Operating and Transformation Officer (COO) Programme
reflects the expanding scope of the operations leadership role. Its curriculum
brings together operations strategy, operating-model design, AI-enabled
operations, value creation, resilience, data and analytics, governance and
executive leadership. The emphasis is on connecting operational decisions with
enterprise priorities rather than viewing efficiency as an end goal.

From Efficiency to Enterprise
Transformation

The traditional efficiency mandate still
matters, but the question is changing from How can this process be made
faster or cheaper? to What should the operating model look like in the
first place?

Automating a process, for example, can
affect workforce design, customer experience, data governance, technology
investment and accountability. Outsourcing a capability may reduce costs while
increasing dependency on external partners. The COO
therefore must balance efficiency with agility, resilience and long-term value.

The operating model increasingly becomes
the bridge between strategy and execution, translating business priorities into
processes, capabilities, technology and ownership.

AI Is an Operating-Model Decision

AI adds another layer to this
responsibility. Its value in operations does not come simply from automating
repetitive tasks. It can change how decisions are made, how information moves
through an organisation and where human intervention remains necessary.

For a COO, the more important questions are
often organisational: Which workflows should be automated? Where should AI
augment employees? What happens when an AI system encounters an exception? Who
owns the outcome?

AI therefore needs to be understood not
only as a technology, but as an operating-model and organisational design
decision.

Resilience Is Becoming an Operating
Capability

Recent disruptions have also changed how
organisations think about resilience. Supply chains, service operations and
partner ecosystems can no longer be assessed purely on cost and efficiency.

Leaders must consider responsiveness,
continuity, scenario planning, inventory, network design and sustainability
alongside traditional efficiency measures. Resilience is consequently moving
from a contingency exercise to an ongoing operating capability.

For
the COO, this means making decisions that preserve the organisation&#039;s
ability to adapt when market conditions change.

Leadership Beyond the Operations
Function

Perhaps the biggest change is that
operational transformation cannot be delivered by operations alone.

Technology teams influence architecture and
AI adoption. Finance determines investment priorities. HR shapes workforce
transition. Commercial teams influence customer requirements. Boards and CEOs
expect a coherent view of how these decisions fit together.

This makes stakeholder alignment, executive
communication and change leadership central to the modern COO role. Applied
learning through cases, simulations, practitioner perspectives and guided
projects can help leaders examine these interconnected decisions in realistic
contexts.

The IIM
Lucknow Chief Operating and Transformation Officer Programme brings
these elements together through its focus on AI-enabled operations,
transformation strategy, governance, value creation and change leadership.

The COO: An Architect of How the
Business Works

The evolution of the COO role is not about
moving away from operational excellence. It is about recognising that
operational excellence increasingly depends on strategic choices.

The modern COO must ask where the
organisation should automate, where it should invest, how it should respond to
disruption, which capabilities it needs to build and how technology should
change the way work gets done.

As AI, volatility and changing customer
expectations continue to reshape business operations, the COO&#039;s influence is
likely to extend further across strategy, technology, people and value
creation.

The operations leader of the next phase
will not simply keep the organisation running efficiently. They will help

<title>Indian Developers to Showcase Their Projects at the Second Moscow International Game Week</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/indian-developers-to-showcase-their-projects-at-the-second-moscow-international-game-week</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/indian-developers-to-showcase-their-projects-at-the-second-moscow-international-game-week</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

The second Moscow International Game Week will take place from October
29 to November 1, 2026, at Moscow Game Hub. It will bring together participants
from around 20 countries and more than 85 exhibiting companies. BUZZEDMEN
STUDIO, ABRACA DABRA SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS and Nilee Games will showcase their
projects at the India group stand. Representatives of the Indian gaming
industry are also expected to attend as part of a delegation.

For the second time, Moscow will bring the international video game
industry together at Moscow Game Hub, developed by the Agency of Creative
Industries. Over four days, players, developers and investors from more than 25
countries will discuss how games, alongside animation, film and literature, are
becoming part of the creative economy. The event will also provide a platform
for new projects and partnerships.

For Indian companies, the event will be an opportunity to learn about
the Russian market, present their work and find partners. This year’s theme,
“Beyond the Industry,” explores how video games connect with animation, film,
literature and other areas of the creative economy, as well as how new worlds
can be built and projects developed across multiple formats.

Indian participants: game development and original worlds

The India group stand will bring together three companies. Nilee Games
develops games for mobile devices, computers, consoles and web platforms,
creates game art and animation, and provides virtual and augmented reality
solutions. Its clients include international media companies and entertainment
brands.

BUZZEDMEN STUDIO specializes in story-driven games. Its projects
include the action-adventure game Lawless: Blood and Dust, set in India,
and the bookstore management simulator My Bookshop Dreams. ABRACA DABRA
SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS develops games and apps, including Tanhaji – The Maratha
Warrior, which is based on Indian history.

A delegation from India is expected to include Dev Mukesh, founder of
Banzan, and Vijay Rakshe, co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of TRB
Funtooss Pvt Ltd. Banzan develops original projects at the intersection of
games and comics, while TRB Funtooss brings together games, animation and
educational content. Their work reflects the theme of Game Week: developing
creative ideas across formats and disciplines.

Moscow is developing its gaming and animation industries and is open
to international cooperation, knowledge exchange and joint projects. Moscow
Game Hub provides companies with infrastructure for developing, producing and
promoting projects. Game Week will introduce Indian participants to these
opportunities and serve as a working platform to showcase projects, find
partners and discuss agreements. Guests can also look forward to an extensive
business program.

International exhibition

Alongside the India group stand, the exhibition will feature Brazil’s
national stand, Brasilia Game Hub; Chingmu from China; BURNING SOUL and
BEAR&amp;SKUNK from the Republic of Korea; and Experimental Design Team (EDT)
from Malaysia.

Visitors will discover projects from Russian publishers and gaming
platforms. Independent developers will showcase their games in the indie alley,
while the residents’ alley will feature studios from Moscow Game Hub. A
marketplace for themed merchandise will also be open to visitors.

The exhibition will give the wider public a chance to experience the
industry firsthand: play new projects, meet their creators and learn more about
game and animation development.

International tournament

One of the highlights of Game Week will be the LAN finals of the
Moscow Cyber Games 2026, an international Counter-Strike 2 tournament. The
finals will take place on October 31 and November 1 at Moscow Game Hub. A total
of 956 teams from Europe and Asia took part in the open qualifiers.

Tournament results count toward the Valve Regional Standings, which
are used to allocate invitations to CS2 tournaments. Holding the event at the
end of the ranking cycle gives Russian teams an additional opportunity to earn
points and improve their standings. Spectators will be able to watch the
professional teams’ final matches online and at the venue.

The finals will be part of Game Week’s international program and will
showcase Moscow Game Hub’s capacity to host major esports events.

The second Moscow International Game Week is organized by the Agency
of Creative Industries under the Moscow Department of Culture. The event aims
to develop the gaming and animation ecosystem, promote Russian projects and
strengthen international ties of Moscow studios.

<description><![CDATA[ 

The award platform brings together architects, designers, and
researchers from across India and internationally to celebrate the
possibilities of terracotta as a design material

Kozhikode, Kerala, 26 October 2026 : Nuvocotto,
one of India&#039;s leading terracotta brand, held the fourth edition of the
Terracotta Design Award (TDA) at K Hills, Kozhikode. The event brought together
architects, designers, researchers, and creative practitioners from across
India and internationally for an evening of panel conversations, finalist
presentations, and the announcement of winners across three categories.

Now in its fourth year, TDA has established itself as a distinctive
platform in the Indian design community, one built around a belief that the
people doing the most interesting work with terracotta deserve to find each
other. This year&#039;s edition drew entries from across India and beyond - Vietnam,
Turkey, USA, with a jury that included practitioners from the UAE, Indonesia,
and across India.

The Categories and Winners

Terracotta Facades
This category recognises built projects in which terracotta plays a
central role in the design of a building&#039;s exterior.

Winner: Apoorva lekha, AD Studio 9, Bengaluru

The Facades jury comprised Rashiq Muhamad Ali, architect and founder
of RqMA Architecture + Design, a research-driven practice with over 18 years of
international experience spanning Zaha Hadid Architects, 10 Design, and
projects across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia; and Sunil Philip, founding
partner of PSP Design, Chennai, a multi-disciplinary practice known for
contextual storytelling in architecture and hospitality design.

that explores new directions for terracotta.

Winner: Ho Viet Hung, H2 Architects, Vietnam

The Futures jury comprised Alia Rashed Al Shamsi, Founder and Creative
Director of Alia Rashed Commercial Designing Studio, Abu Dhabi, recognised for
creating immersive, experience-driven spaces that blend contemporary aesthetics
with local identity; and Boney Keriwala, co-founder of B.A.D — Bureau for
Architecture and Design Studio, Surat, a research-driven practice whose work
spans materiality, computational design, and local craft traditions.

Terracotta Reimagined
This category recognises innovation at the level of the terracotta
product, element, or system — new ways of thinking about the material itself.

Winner: Manjunath C N, Studio Whitescape

The Reimagined jury comprised Vignesh Sekar, founding Principal
Architect of STO.M.P (Studio for Modernism and Practical Aesthetics), Madurai,
whose work has been featured in Wallpaper*, ArchDaily, and Habitus Living; and

excellence that combines sustainability, craft, and contemporary spatial
thinking.

The Shortlisted Finalists spanned across gender,
cultures, regions and ages - from seasoned practitioners to young students.

Keynote Address

The evening featured a keynote address by Ar. Andy Rahman, IAI,
founder of andyrahman architect, Indonesia. Andy Rahman is known for his
material-based architectural practice rooted in close collaboration with local
craftsmen. His work treats brick and clay as cultural mediums and positions the
craftsman as a creative partner in the design process.

Panel Conversations

Preceding the finalist presentations, each category opened with a jury
panel conversation moderated by James Kingsley Claudin. The panels explored
what terracotta uniquely offers on facades, where the material is headed in the
hands of emerging designers, and what it means to reimagine a material this old
at the level of the element and the system.

About the Terracotta Design Award

The Terracotta Design Award is a platform initiated by Nuvocotto to
recognise and connect architects, designers, researchers, and creative
practitioners working with terracotta. Now in its fourth edition, TDA brings
together built projects, conceptual work, and material innovation from across
India and internationally, with the aim of building a community around a shared
curiosity for what terracotta can still become. This platform has become a
bridge between the design community and the product development community, with
key attention to climate responsiveness.

About Nuvocotto

committed to promote creative use of the material through design, craft, and
collaboration with the creative community.

were also present at the event.

“Meaningful dialogue between the industry and the design
community is key to developing innovative designs and products. When
manufacturers and designers exchange ideas and collaborate, it opens up new
possibilities for materials like terracotta,” said Mohammed Razal, Co-founder
&amp; Managing Director of Nuvocotto. ]]></description>

The refreshed formulation reflects the brand’s commitment
to continuously enhancing its products to address the evolving skincare needs
of consumers and the everyday challenges of urban living

National, 26th October 2026: Dot &amp; Key, India’s fastest-growing D2C
skincare brand, continues to evolve its formulations in response to changing
consumer needs, with the upgrade of its Barrier Repair Moisturizer (Hyaluronic
+ Ceramides). The refreshed formulation reflects the brand’s commitment to
continuously enhancing its products to address the evolving skincare needs of
consumers and the everyday challenges of urban living.

As consumers face growing exposure to pollution, environmental stressors and
the effects of modern urban lifestyles, skin barrier health is becoming an
increasingly important part of everyday skincare. Responding to these evolving
needs, Dot &amp; Key’s latest campaign highlights the role of science-backed
formulations in helping protect and strengthen the skin barrier.

Featuring brand ambassador Aditi Bhatia, the ad film introduces the upgraded
Urban Defence Formula, combining five essential ceramides to lock in moisture
and help repair the skin barrier, ectoin to boost resilience against
environmental stressors, and hyaluronic acid for long-lasting hydration. The
formulation is further enriched with probiotics to support a balanced skin
microbiome and Japanese rice water to soothe redness and irritation. Designed
for dry skin, these ingredients deliver up to 120 hours of moisturisation while
helping improve skin barrier health.

Commenting on the film, Anisha Agarwal Saraf, Co-Founder &amp; Chief
Innovation Officer, Dot &amp; Key Skincare, said: “As consumer needs
evolve, so must skincare. With the upgraded Barrier Repair Moisturizer, we’ve
enhanced an everyday essential with the inclusion of ectoin to help protect
against daily pollutants while delivering up to 120 hours of hydration. Our
focus remains on creating science-backed formulations that address everyday
skin concerns effectively and accessibly.”

The film is now live across digital and social platforms, reinforcing Dot &amp;
Key’s focus on translating consumer insights into relevant product innovation
and making science-backed skincare accessible to a wider audience.

<description><![CDATA[ 

~ Monthly plans start at ₹199. Available
on Samsung, Android TV, VIDAA, Google TV, FireTV ~

Tata Play has launched Tata Play Smart, a television streaming app designed to bring
the familiarity of live television interface on connected TV. Subscribers will
get 500+ live channels, without the need for a set-top box, dish antenna or
wires. 

At the heart of Tata Play Smart is Tata Play’s much-loved, user-friendly live TV experience, designed
for the big screen and delivered seamlessly over home broadband. For anyone who
watches news every day, follows live sports, enjoys daily soaps, or regularly
tunes into entertainment channels, and already has a Smart TV at home, Tata
Play Smart is an app worth downloading right away. Tata Play Smart can be
downloaded directly from a Smart TV’s app store by anyone, irrespective of
whether they currently use a DTH service, cable connection, or no pay-TV
service at all. It allows viewers to access live channels on their Smart TV,
mobile phone, tablet or laptop, using any internet connection. On the big
screen, the experience will feel familiar to anyone accustomed to DTH, with
channel numbers, a programme guide and remote-friendly controls. The app can
also be opened on a compatible device to start watching, bringing the
familiarity and ease of Tata Play’s entertainment experience to a new
generation of connected screens.
Talking about the new app, Harit Nagpal,
MD &amp; CEO, Tata Play, said, &quot;The consumer’s core need to watch
sports, news and daily soaps live on the big screen as appointment viewing has
remained unchanged even as Smart TVs and home broadband have transformed the
way content is accessed by connected homes. 
While DTH continues to deepen its reach across the masses, Tata Play
Smart is designed to address the infotainment needs of wired urban homes.&quot;

The
subscription is built around the household’s viewing preferences. Consumers
choose the languages they watch their content in, with one monthly plan for the
home starting at Rs.199 per month. Tata Play Smart app is available on Samsung,
Android TV, VIDAA, Google TV and FireTV, as well as Android and iOS mobile and
tablet devices. 

Acclaimed
actor Rajkummar Rao features as the face of the product campaign, which
highlights how Tata Play’s app-based solution makes watching live TV simpler
and hassle-free, without the need for a set-top box, dish antenna or wires.

Speaking
about his association with Tata Play, National Award-winning actor Rajkummar
Rao, said, &quot;I’ve
always believed that the best innovations are the ones that make every day
experiences simpler and better. That’s exactly what Tata Play Smart does by
bringing television and streaming together in a seamless way. Being part of this
campaign has been a refreshing experience, and I’m happy to be associated with
a product that is redefining how families discover, access and enjoy
entertainment in their homes.&quot;

<title>HUFT’s Winter ‘26 Collection Is Made for Moments That Feel Like a Hug</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 

New
Delhi, 26 October 2026: Winter doesn’t announce itself with the cold
alone. It arrives in smaller ways: a dog who has claimed the sunniest corner of
the room, a cat who has decided your lap is the only place to be, a head that
rests a little longer than it needs to. Everything slows down, and the people
and pets who share a home find themselves a little closer.

That
feeling is at the centre of the Winter ‘26 collection
from Heads Up For Tails (HUFT), now available at HUFT stores, on huft.com and
on the HUFT app. Beds, blankets, mats, sweaters, sweatshirts and T-shirts for
dogs and cats are all built around the moments when winter suddenly feels warmer,
and the campaign line says it simply: Feels Like a Hug. Feels Like HUFT.

The
range follows a pet’s winter day. Mornings start slowly, and the T-shirts are
made for that kind of start. When it’s time to head out, there are sweaters and sweatshirts sized for doggos of all
different body types (some carrying characters from the collection), for walks
that stretch a little longer once the air turns crisp.

Back
at home, the mats go wherever the sun does, which is usually where a pet will
be. As the evening draws in, the blankets come out, for five more minutes and
for sharing the warm side. And when the day is done, there are the beds, with
deep-pile filling and raised sides, built for the way dogs and cats actually
circle before they lie down.

Giving
the collection a face is a cast of five characters: a happy Penguin, a cosy
Koala, a brown Teddy Bear, a pink Bunny and a festive red-nosed Reindeer. They
turn up across the knits and the beds,
so each piece comes with a little personality of its own.

Winter
looks different depending on where you are. In Delhi, it’s chai on a misty
evening. In Mumbai, it’s a walk by the sea, with a breeze that has finally
found its bite. Bengaluru has filter coffee as the evenings cool, and Kolkata
has festive lights and plum cake. The weather changes from city to city, but
what winter does to a home is much the same everywhere. Pets go looking for the
warmest spot, and the people around them are happy to oblige.

“When
pets are family, even the smallest comforts matter. This collection turns that
instinct to care into thoughtful pieces that families love choosing and pets
love living in,” says Rashi Narang, Founder of Heads Up For Tails.

Because
the best part of winter was never the weather. It’s who you find yourself curled
up beside.

The
Winter ‘26 collection is available at HUFT stores, on huft.com and on the HUFT
app. Explore the collection here.

<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/surakshit-india-awards-2026-open-nominations</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

New Delhi, 26 October 2026 :  IIRIS Consulting, India’s
foremost risk consulting organization in partnership with The Times of India
have announced the opening of nominations for Surakshit India Awards 2026, the
national level awards initiative for the Secure India Summit (TSIS 2026) organized
by IIRIS Consulting and The Times of India Group.

For the
second consecutive year, the awards will honor the efforts of those who keep
the security of India’s workspaces, public spaces, and cyber space intact
through their hard work. Nominations for the awards are open till 01 December
2026 in 19 categories and the awarding ceremony will take place on 18 December
2026 at the Manekshaw Centre, New Delhi.

The Surakshit
India Awards are meant to honor the Indian security sector and their
contribution to India’s development. Through their hard work, often done behind
the curtains, these people protect the lives and property of Indians. These
awards aim at bringing these heroes into limelight and acknowledging their
efforts as a crucial factor behind India’s development into a developed nation.

Rooted in the
ideology of Surakshit Bharat, Viksit Bharat, the awards rest on the fundamental
belief that secure campuses, resilient infrastructure, trusted technology and
the courage of the people who stand guard over them every day form the very
foundation of a developed India. The purpose of these awards is to acknowledge
these efforts, to provide benchmarks for the industry to aspire to and, most
importantly, to give overdue recognition to those who serve on the ground.

The Safe
&amp; Secure Excellence Awards of 2026 are classified into four categories,
with each category saluting a different segment of the safety and security
landscape. These include the Safe &amp; Secure Excellence Awards, which are
given for secure business campuses, manufacturing facilities, hotels and
shopping complexes, along with Made in India security solutions. Meanwhile, the
Fire Safety Excellence Awards are given to those organizations and institutions
that represent the pinnacle of fire safety, preparedness, and response systems.
The Cyber &amp; Information Security Excellence Awards are given to those
institutions which have taken adequate cybersecurity measures to protect
India’s businesses and digital framework, and the Bravehearts Awards honour
security personnel and firefighters whose acts of bravery have protected lives
and property.

Commenting on
the announcement,  Garry Singh, President, IIRIS Consulting , said, “Most industry
awards celebrate only companies and their leadership. The Surakshit India
Awards take a 360-degree view, recognising people, processes, technology and
ideas. Beyond honouring the top tier, the Bravehearts Awards provide security
guards and firefighters with the highest level of financial and other benefits.
These awards are a celebration of what India is achieving.”

Organisations
may nominate their own campuses, facilities, products, services and
initiatives, as well as those they have undertaken for their clients.
Nominations for the Bravehearts Awards may be submitted by employers,
supervisors and fire departments on behalf of security guards and firefighters,
and self nominations are also accepted provided they are accompanied by a
letter of authorisation from the nominee’s current organisation. All
nominations must relate to achievements or acts of bravery that took place
between 01 October 2025 and 01 October 2026.

Nominations
can be made by visiting www.secureindiasummit.com, registering for the chosen
category, downloading the nomination form and uploading the completed form
along with the supporting documents. Shortlisted candidates will participate in
a virtual interaction with the jury before the final selection.

The award ceremony will be one of the
major highlights at the Secure India Summit (TSIS 2026). This summit brings
together representatives of the government, military, law enforcement agencies,
industry, and security organizations, as well as experts who work on issues of
emerging threats and ways of strengthening joint efforts to ensure a safe
India.
About The Secure India Summit (TSIS
2026)

Organised by
IIRIS Consulting and The Times of India, the Secure India Summit is a national
platform that brings together stakeholders from government, industry and the
security ecosystem to discuss emerging security challenges, exchange insights
and build collaborative approaches to strengthening India’s safety and
resilience. Returning for its second year, the summit hosts the Surakshit India
Awards, which recognise excellence and impactful contributions across security,
fire safety and cybersecurity.

<title>IDFC FIRST Bank Q2 FY27 Results: PAT up 196.5% YoY at ₹ 1,045 Crore</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 

PAT crosses ₹ 1,000 crore for the
second consecutive quarter

Mumbai, 26 October 2026: IDFC FIRST Bank today announced its unaudited financial results for
the quarter and half year ended 30 September 2026. The Bank reported Profit
After Tax of ₹1,045 crore in Q2 FY27, up 196.5% year-on-year. For H1 FY27,
Profit After Tax stood at ₹2,120 crore, with Return on Assets at 0.99%.

Management Commentary

1.      
Strong deposit growth: Total deposits grew 25.9% YoY and 11.8% QoQ to reach ₹3,48,583
crore. 

2.      
Healthy CASA: Average CASA ratio remained strong at 48.4% in Q2 FY27. The slight
decline from 50.1% was primarily due to the large mobilisation of FCNR(B)
deposits during the quarter. 

3.      
Loan growth: Loans and advances, including credit substitutes and FCNR(B)-backed
loans, grew 30.1% YoY to ₹3,46,913 crore. Excluding loans secured by FCNR(B)
deposits, loan growth was 22.2%, gross of IBPC. 

4.      
Operating leverage: Opex growth has remained lower than income growth by about 500 bps
YoY for consecutive quarters. 

5.      
Improving cost-to-income
ratio: Incremental cost-to-income ratio was 55% in
H1 FY27. The core cost-to-income ratio (excluding trading gains) improved to
70.16% in Q2 FY27 from 70.73% in Q1 FY27. 

6.      
Strong growth in core
operating profit: Core operating profit, excluding
trading gains, grew 38.5% YoY to ₹2,527 crore in Q2 FY27. 

7.      
Stable asset quality: GNPA stood at 1.32% and Net NPA at 0.40%. Credit cost, as a
percentage of average assets, reduced to 1.01%. 

8.      
PAT grew 196.5% YoY to ₹1,045 crore in Q2-FY27, resulting in an ROA of
0.93%. H1 FY27 ROA stood at 0.99%. 

9.      
FCNR(B) mobilisation: During Q2 FY27, the Bank mobilised ₹34,390 crore (approximately
US$3.6 billion) of FCNR(B) deposits despite having no branch, subsidiary or
representative office outside India.  This demonstrates the Bank&#039;s digital
capabilities and the trust it enjoys among customers.  

These deposits are largely of 3-to-5-year
tenor and provide strong structural liquidity for the coming years. The fully
loaded cost of FCNR(B), including PSL benefits, is approximately 1% lower than
the cost of raising domestic fixed deposits.

FCNR mobilisation should benefit NII, PAT,
EPS and RoE, although it is optically NIM-dilutive because the balance sheet
expanded by ₹24,885 crore as loans were extended by IBU branch against FCNR(B)
deposits.

10.  
Debut international rating: S&amp;P Global Ratings assigned the Bank an investment-grade
long-term rating of &#039;BBB-&#039;. 

Commenting on the results, Mr. V.
Vaidyanathan, MD and CEO, said, “Our PAT crossed ₹1,000 crore for the second
quarter in a row, in both Q1 and Q2 FY27. We are also now internationally
rated, with an investment-grade rating from S&amp;P Global Ratings. Our Opex
growth has been lower than income growth by about 500 basis points for the
second consecutive quarter, demonstrating strong operating leverage.
Consequently, our cost-to-income ratio continues to decline, and our ROA is now
within touching distance of 1%.

Further, raising over ₹34,000 crore of
FCNR(B) deposits has been a significant positive for the Bank. It provides us
with structural liquidity of 3 to 5 years, which is particularly valuable in a
rising interest-rate environment. The fully loaded cost of these deposits,
including PSL benefits, is about 1% lower than the cost of raising comparable
deposits in the domestic market. Overall, Q2 FY27 was an excellent quarter, and
we hope to sustain this momentum.”

<title>Three Standards, One Purpose: Actorius Raises the Bar for Cancer Diagnostics in India</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/three-standards-one-purpose-actorius-raises-the-bar-for-cancer-diagnostics-in-india</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/three-standards-one-purpose-actorius-raises-the-bar-for-cancer-diagnostics-in-india</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

As cancer diagnostics in
India move from laboratory innovation into everyday clinical practice, three
independent yet complementary benchmarks are quietly becoming the measure of
trust: regulatory approval, internationally recognised quality systems, and laboratory
accreditation. Together they form a framework that clinicians, hospitals and
patients can rely on when treatment decisions depend on the detection of
circulating tumour cells.

Actorius Innovations and
Research has built its OncoDiscover®️ CTC liquid biopsy on precisely these
three pillars. The result is India’s first and only CDSCO-approved clinical
circulating tumour cell assay, supported by an ISO 13485:2016-certified quality
management system and a NABL-accredited laboratory.

Each standard answers a
different question of confidence. CDSCO approval establishes that the
technology has undergone formal regulatory scrutiny for safety, performance and
intended clinical use. Actorius Innovations &amp; Research Pvt. Ltd. holds the
relevant manufacturing and marketing licences under the Medical Devices Rules,
confirming its status as the first indigenously developed, patented CTC test
cleared for clinical application in the country. ISO 13485:2016 certification,
issued by Intertek, ensures that design, development, manufacturing and
post-market processes meet the global quality management standard required for
medical devices. NABL accreditation independently verifies the technical
competence of the laboratory that generates the results. These are not overlapping
claims. One confirms regulatory legitimacy, another organisational quality
systems, and the third analytical reliability.

From a scientist’s
perspective, healthcare innovation remains incomplete until it is matched by
validation, reproducibility and quality infrastructure. Circulating tumour
cells sit at the frontier of understanding metastasis and minimal residual
disease. Before any such technology can responsibly guide treatment, it must
clear the thresholds of regulatory clearance, quality systems and laboratory
competence. Dr Jayant Khandare, Founder, Managing Director and Chief Scientific
Officer of Actorius, has long argued that liquid biopsy platforms must move
beyond research novelty into regulated, reproducible clinical tools.
OncoDiscover®️ was developed with that principle at its core.

The company has already
performed more than eleven thousand tests, supported by over a hundred
scientific presentations at ASCO, AACR, ESMO and ISLB, while maintaining the
triple framework of CDSCO approval, ISO 13485 certification and NABL
accreditation.

For oncologists, the
combination offers a clearer signal of reliability when CTC enumeration is used
to monitor treatment response, detect minimal residual disease, assess risk of
relapse and guide therapy decisions; insights that conventional imaging often
misses. For hospitals and diagnostic networks, it provides a practical
benchmark against which other liquid biopsy offerings can be evaluated. For
patients, it translates into greater assurance that the test they undergo rests
on independently verified regulatory, quality and laboratory foundations rather
than promotional claims alone.

The larger significance lies
beyond any single company. As liquid biopsy and advanced oncology diagnostics
expand across India, the presence of all three standards is becoming the
practical definition of readiness for clinical scale. Actorius’ approach with
OncoDiscover®️ shows how an Indian innovator can build technology that meets
this emerging expectation rather than treating certifications as afterthoughts.

In a field where a single
circulating tumour cell can carry the potential for relapse or metastasis, the
demand for trustworthy, reproducible and regulated diagnostics continues to
intensify. The alignment of CDSCO approval, ISO 13485:2016 quality systems and
NABL laboratory accreditation offers one clear pathway for the industry to meet
that demand,and in doing so, raise the quality bar for cancer care across the
country.

<title>Jagadguru Nigrahacharya Swami announces for Nigraha Praveshika</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/jagadguru-nigrahacharya-swami-announces-for-nigraha-praveshika</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/jagadguru-nigrahacharya-swami-announces-for-nigraha-praveshika</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Jagadguru Nigrahacharya Shri Bhagavatananda Guru is preparing to bring out ‘Nigraha
Praveshika’, a forthcoming Sanskrit work with Hindi translation that seeks
to document the philosophy and scriptural foundations of the Nigraha
Sampradaya, a relatively little-documented Shakta tradition. The book is
currently in its final-draft stage, with its publication and launch dates yet
to be announced.

According to information provided by his
representatives, the manuscript draws upon references from more than 1,600
rare and authentic scriptures. According to the media representatives of
Swami Nigrahacharya, this book is going to be a timeless milestone in fields of
ancient Shakta research and Tantragam practices. It is also intended to serve
as a key reference for followers of the Sampradaya and researchers studying its
nearly extinct but distinctive Nigrahagama tradition.

Shri Bhagavatananda Guru was consecrated as
Jagadguru Nigrahacharya during an Amba Yajna in mid-March 2026 by his
Guru, Swami Amritananda Saraswati Ji (a senior seer of Bama Khepa
lineage from Tara Pitha) and also later recieved recognition and honor from Shri
Kashi Vidwat Dharma Parishad. The Nigraha Sampradaya traces its lineage to
Jagadguru Bhagwan Shri Siddhanatha, its first Acharya, and identifies
Kamrupa Kamakhya in Assam as its present seat. Kubjika Nigraheshwari Devi
is its supreme deity of worship.

Alongside his religious scholarship, Shri
Bhagavatananda Guru has drawn attention for his scriptural disagreements with
prominent religious figures. His published work ‘Uttara Kanda Prasanga Evam
Samnyasadhikar Vimarsha’, released in 2020, addresses positions associated
with Jagadguru Rambhadracharya of Tulsi Peeth, including questions
concerning the Uttara Kanda and ascetic authority. His representatives also
describe him as the author of two books challenging Rambhadracharya’s
interpretations as the second book in this series was called &#039;Moorakh Hriday
Na Chet&#039;. Both books are facing legal cases in magistrate courts of Kanpur
and Basti.

Swami Nigrahacharya has additionally issued
a boycott letter against Swami Avimukteshwarananda Saraswati, Jagadguru
Shankaracharya of Jyotishpeeth in connection with a controversy concerning the
Varna of Vedic Rishis and Shakadwipiya Brahmanas, according to his
representatives. However Swami Nigrahacharya got the support of Shri Kashi
Vidwat Parishat&#039;s members and also of many scholars like Jagadguru Shankaracharya
of Dwarka Sharada Pitha Swami Sadananda Saraswati, Swami Brahmananda
Saraswati and Jagadguru Ramanujacharya Swami Vidyabhaskar Maharaj over
these controversies. These positions form part of wider debates over scriptural
interpretation, religious authority and traditional practice.

His public profile also includes the series
‘Mlechchha Raaj’ and media appearances, including coverage of a dispute
involving Dhirendra Shastri of Bageshwar Dham. With ‘Nigraha Praveshika’,
Shri Bhagavatananda Guru aims to place the Nigraha Sampradaya’s teachings and
textual heritage before a wider readership. The forthcoming publication is
expected to provide a consolidated resource for those interested in its
religious and philosophical traditions. ]]></description>

<title>York and Bengaluru to tackle challenges of turning waste into clean energy</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/york-and-bengaluru-to-tackle-challenges-of-turning-waste-into-clean-energy</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/york-and-bengaluru-to-tackle-challenges-of-turning-waste-into-clean-energy</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

Chancellor of Garden City University, Dr Joseph V.G., and Chief
Reputation and Stakeholder Relations Officer, Joan Concannon at the University
of York, present the Memorandum of Understanding between the two institutions.
Demonstrating their shared commitment to environmental sustainability, GCU and
the University of York exchanged an MoU at a special Networking Dinner in
Bengaluru held in the presence of Mayor David Skaith, Shri Sharath Bache Gowda,
MLA, Hoskote and GCU Chancellor Dr. Joseph V.G, to establish the proposed Bio-Resource
Centre of Excellence at GCU’s Hoskote campus. The MoU, sets out the
ambition to accelerate research into green technology and sustainable
agriculture. The new MoU sets out the intent to begin a pilot study focused on
anaerobic digestion and waste recovery systems, led by Professor James Chong,
Director of the Centre of Excellence for Anaerobic Digestion (CEAD) - a
research centre established between the University of York and Yorkshire Water.

Renewable energy

Anaerobic digestion turns waste materials into renewable energy and
nutrient-rich fertiliser and is seen as a crucial technology to increase the
sustainability of industry and reduce carbon emissions.  The new project will create technologies that
are optimised for their location, making them suitable for both British and
Indian environments, and test them to recover more energy from waste, such as
food waste, wastewaters, and animal slurries.

York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority (YNYCA) aims to use
research from the trial to support its broader strategy to become a
carbon-negative region.

Shared challenge

Professor James Chong, Director of CEAD and Head of the University of
York’s Department of Biology, said: &quot;Turning waste into energy is a shared
challenge for Yorkshire and for fast-growing regions like Karnataka. 

“Our BioYorkshire initiative in the UK, alongside partners in
Bengaluru, can work together to set up a real-world testing facility, providing
us with a comparison of these challenges across two countries.

“This should then give us evidence on how well anaerobic digestion
technologies perform and what they cost, giving businesses, governments, and
investors in both countries the confidence to scale-up clean energy
solutions.&quot;

Civic engagement

Partners will work to expand high-growth sectors, including agri-tech
and clean energy, whilst establishing more regular engagement between civic
leaders, industry and academics in both regions.

GCU in Bengaluru has recently opened a new campus at Hoskote to the
east of the city, where the pilot study will be hosted, and the University will
support York experts in exploring the wider applications of anaerobic digestion
research in Karnataka.

The engagement was anchored by a high-level meeting with Shri
Priyank Kharge, Minister of Home Affairs, IT and BT, Government of Karnataka,
attended by the visiting Mayoral delegation led by  Mr. David Skaith, Mayor of York and North
Yorkshire, alongside senior leadership from both universities. The meeting
advanced a Letter of Intent (LoI) with the Government of Karnataka, positioning
the University of York and its strategic local partner GCU at the center of
bilateral research, tech translation, and regional cooperation.

Unveiling a World-Class Sporting Facility: The GCU Oval

As part of the official delegation visit, Mayor David Skaith joined
the grand inauguration of the GCU Oval, Garden City University’s
state-of-the-art cricket facility situated at its Student Knowledge Park in
Hoskote. Designed to international standards, the world class ground will serve
as a premier platform for cultivating athletic excellence, hosting fixtures,
and bridging classroom learning with professional sports development.

Under the three-year Statement of Intent signed by Ms. Joan Concannon
(University of York) and Dr. Christo Joseph (GCU):

●      University,
college, and grassroots cricket teams from Bengaluru and Yorkshire will
participate in reciprocal training tours, competitive exposure, and friendly
fixtures.

●      Both
institutions will develop joint programmes and short courses in sports science,
sports analytics, sports management, and event operations.

Grassroots player and coaching development pathways will be
established in collaboration with regional cricket foundations and sporting
bodies across Karnataka and Yorkshire.

Leadership Perspectives

Mr. David Skaith, Mayor of York and North Yorkshire:

“Our meetings in Bengaluru from fruitful discussions with Minister
Shri Priyank Kharge to visiting Garden City University demonstrate the
tremendous potential of regional collaboration. Whether through shared sporting
passions on the cricket pitch or pioneering clean-energy solutions, connecting
Yorkshire and Karnataka creates lasting value for our communities, students,
and economies.”

Mr. Sharath Bache Gowda, Member of Legislative Assembly, Government of
Karnataka

<title>Beyond Room Rates: Casa Melhor’s Approach to Corporate Guest Houses in Mumbai</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/beyond-room-rates-casa-melhors-approach-to-corporate-guest-houses-in-mumbai</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/beyond-room-rates-casa-melhors-approach-to-corporate-guest-houses-in-mumbai</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

Mumbai : Casa
Melhor Business Residences is positioning its managed accommodation offering in
Mumbai around a practical consideration for businesses: where employees stay in
relation to where they work.

Through residences listed in Powai’s
Chandivali area and Malad East, the company offers furnished accommodation for
business travellers, consultants and project teams requiring short-term or
extended stays. Its model combines residential spaces with services that
support employees during work assignments.

For companies evaluating a corporate guest
house in Mumbai, the approach brings workplace location, daily living
requirements and service accountability into the accommodation decision
alongside the room tariff.

Looking Beyond the Nightly Rate

A lower accommodation tariff does not
necessarily represent the lowest overall cost of a business stay. Transport
expenses, meal arrangements, service requirements and the time spent
coordinating bookings can also affect the company’s budget and the employee’s
experience.

The decision becomes particularly relevant
when employees travel repeatedly or remain in the city for longer assignments.
HR and Admin teams must consider whether the accommodation supports everyday
routines, how service requests will be handled and what happens when an assignment
is extended.

Casa Melhor’s published material on
business stay apartments for corporate teams presents accommodation as an
operational requirement involving approvals, vendor coordination, cost
visibility and employee support.

Corporate Stay Options in Mumbai

Casa Melhor’s listed Astha Homes 2BHK in
Chandivali, Powai accommodates up to four guests across two bedrooms and two
bathrooms. The property lists Wi-Fi, a living area, a washing machine, daily
housekeeping, a 24-hour caretaker and complimentary Indian breakfast. Lunch,
dinner and laundry are available at an additional charge.

In Malad East, its listed Astha Homes 4BHK
corporate stay in Mumbai accommodates up to eight guests, with four
bedrooms, four bathrooms and a dedicated workspace. Listed services include
daily housekeeping, caretaker support and breakfast, with selected additional
services chargeable separately.

These properties provide examples of how
corporate stay apartments can accommodate different team sizes and work
requirements. Businesses exploring corporate accommodation
options in Mumbai can assess each property against the assignment location,
occupancy needs, duration and applicable property rules.

A Published Case for Accommodation Near
the Workplace

Casa Melhor’s published Delhivery employee
residences case study illustrates its approach to locating employee
accommodation near operational hubs.

According to the company, it converted
properties in Bhiwandi, in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, and Medchal, near
Hyderabad, into managed business residences for Delhivery’s operations teams.
The accommodation included dining arrangements, work-friendly lounges and
housekeeping and maintenance support.

Across the published case, Casa Melhor
reports a reduction of 1.5 hours in average daily employee travel time and a
35% reduction in overall accommodation costs compared with hotels or city
apartments. The page does not provide separate results for Bhiwandi and
Medchal, so these figures should be understood as company-reported case-study
outcomes rather than Mumbai-specific benchmarks.

Bringing HR, Admin and Finance Into the
Decision

Business accommodation in Mumbai serves
several internal requirements at once. HR teams consider employee comfort and
wellbeing. Administration teams coordinate availability, services and changes.
Finance teams require clarity on costs, while Procurement evaluates vendors and
accountability.

Casa Melhor’s public communications reflect
this combined perspective, presenting managed residences as a way to address
recurring accommodation requirements across these functions.

For companies assessing employee
accommodation solutions, the practical questions extend beyond room
availability: Is the location suitable for the actual workplace? Which services
are included? What attracts an additional charge? Who handles an issue during
the stay? What terms apply if plans change?

Casa Melhor’s Mumbai offering places these
considerations at the centre of its proposition, connecting furnished
accommodation with the operational needs of travelling employees and the teams
responsible for supporting them.

Businesses can contact Casa Melhor’s
corporate accommodation team to discuss location, team size, stay duration and
service requirements. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ 

 Mutual
Funds Sahi Hai joins hands with Pinkathon Day to promote financial well-being
alongside physical fitness

Mumbai, October 23, 2026:
Pinkathon, India&#039;s biggest women’s running movement, is set to celebrate the
4th edition of Pinkathon Day on October 25, 2026, bringing together over 10,000
participants across 168 locations in 65 cities spanning three countries. Mutual
Funds Sahi Hai as the Title partner, the initiative will see participation
across India, the Bangladesh and the Netherlands. In a collective celebration
of women’s health and fitness, participants across all locations will begin
their run simultaneously at 6:00 AM, covering a minimum distance of 3
kilometres.

In India, Pinkathon Day will witness
participation across Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Goa, Gujarat, Haryana,
Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab,
Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and West Bengal,
along with the Union Territories of Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir, Puducherry, and
Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu.

This year’s edition will place a special
emphasis on family participation, with over 1,200 individuals joining the
initiative alongside their family members, reinforcing the importance of making
fitness a shared commitment. Among the participants is a 96-year-old woman who
will take part in the run with her family, reflecting Pinkathon’s message that
age is no barrier to embracing an active lifestyle.

As the Title Partner of Pinkathon Day 2026, Mutual
Funds Sahi Hai will support the initiative&#039;s efforts to promote financial
well-being alongside physical fitness. It aims to encourage women to recognise
the importance of financial awareness and planning as essential components of
their overall well-being, highlighting how physical health and financial
preparedness together contribute to a healthier and more secure future.

Commenting on the initiative, Mr. Venkat N
Chalasani, Chief Executive, AMFI said, “Through our association with Pinkathon Day, we aim to
encourage women to take an active role in managing their finances and securing
their financial future. Just as regular physical activity contributes to
long-term health, informed financial decisions and disciplined investing can
help build financial resilience and enable women to pursue their long-term
goals with confidence.

With participants coming
together across 168 locations in 65 cities and three countries, Pinkathon Day
provides a valuable platform to connect women’s physical well-being with
financial awareness. At AMFI, we believe that financial inclusion goes beyond
access to financial products; it is about equipping women with the knowledge,
confidence and opportunity to make informed financial decisions, participate
meaningfully in the financial system and work towards greater financial
security and independence.” 

Milind Soman, Founder of Pinkathon, said, &quot;Pinkathon Day has always been about encouraging women to
take that first step towards better health and making fitness a part of their
everyday lives. With over 10,000 participants coming together across three
countries, it is encouraging to see how this movement continues to bring people
together. What makes this edition particularly special is the participation of
families across generations. Having a 96-year-old woman running alongside her
family is a wonderful reminder that fitness has no age limit. Our aim is to
encourage more women to prioritise their health and inspire their families to
do the same.&quot;

Over the years, Pinkathon has evolved from a
women&#039;s running event into a community-driven movement that encourages women to
adopt healthier lifestyles. Through its network of ambassadors and running
communities, the initiative continues to create opportunities for women to
begin their fitness journeys, irrespective of age or previous running
experience.

The 4th edition of Pinkathon Day will build on
this community-led approach, bringing women and their families together across
multiple locations with a common purpose. By encouraging participants to
complete a minimum 3 km run at the same time, the initiative seeks to
demonstrate how collective participation can inspire individual action and make
fitness a regular part of everyday life.

With Mutual Funds Sahi Hai joining the
initiative this year, Pinkathon Day 2026 will also broaden the conversation
around women&#039;s well-being by drawing attention to the importance of both
physical and financial health, encouraging women to take proactive steps
towards a healthier and financially secure future.

<title>ORRA Unveils ‘Iss Diwali, Bann&#45;Thann Ke’(Go All Out this Diwali), a Festive Film That Enhances Its Design&#45;Led Journey</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 

Moving beyond the usual
festive script, the film puts its protagonist at the centre, celebrating a
woman, the jewellery that makes it all about her and the way it makes her feel.

Mumbai, 23 October 2026 : ORRA, one of the country’s leading natural diamond jewellery
brands, has unveiled its festive brand film, ‘Iss Diwali, Bann-Thann Ke’,
marking its prominence in the journey to become India’s design-led natural
diamond jewellery brand.

Most festive films celebrate the occasion,
but this campaign celebrates the woman. Instead of building the story around
the festival, ORRA builds it all around her.

The film follows her through a festive
evening, from a quiet moment at her mirror as she chooses her pieces, her young
daughter watching from the doorway, to an evening of laughter with friends,
elders and family. Her jewellery is never on display for its own sake. It is
part of who she is. It gives her confidence as she steps into the room, pride
when she is noticed, and joy in the moments she shares with the people she
loves.

The jewellery is filmed the way it is
designed: up close and unhurried, letting the craftsmanship speak. It reflects
ORRA’s belief that a woman should choose jewellery for its design and for how
it makes her feel, not just for the occasion.

The film also opens ORRA’s festive season,
which introduces six new collections: Shades, Cosmos, Blooms, Mandala, Kalamkari
and Waves. Each collection is built around a single, distinct design idea, with
Kalamkari translating the legacy of a centuries-old Indian art form into fine
jewellery. Dedicated product films for each collection will be released
separately across digital platforms.

While the festive season remains a key
occasion for jewellery purchases, ORRA’s broader vision extends beyond Diwali.
The brand aims to be the one a woman turns to for the milestones that shape her
life, from anniversaries and milestone birthdays to family weddings. The
campaign seeks to strengthen connections with existing customers while
introducing ORRA to new consumers across India.

The film was conceptualised by Spring
Marketing Capital, produced by Jugaad and directed by Dar Gai.

‘Iss Diwali, Bann-Thann Ke’ is now live on
ORRA’s YouTube and social media channels, and will run across digital, OTT,
connected TV and cinema through the festive season.

ORRA is an Indian natural diamond jewellery
brand focused on design, craftsmanship and jewellery. With 96 stores across 40
cities, ORRA creates distinctive, design-led fine jewellery for celebrations

<title>M. M. Hassan: From KSU to KPCC President — Five Decades at the Heart of Kerala Politics</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/m-m-hassan-from-ksu-to-kpcc-president-five-decades-at-the-heart-of-kerala-politics</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/m-m-hassan-from-ksu-to-kpcc-president-five-decades-at-the-heart-of-kerala-politics</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

From student activism and
legislative leadership to expatriate welfare, grassroots development and a
campaign against forced hartals, M. M. Hassan’s public life reflects five
decades of Kerala’s political and social evolution.

A political career is shaped
not only by the positions a person holds, but also by the issues they pursue
and the institutions they help strengthen. M. M. Hassan’s journey through more
than five decades of Kerala’s public life spans student activism, electoral
politics, ministerial responsibilities, expatriate welfare, grassroots
development, media and senior political leadership. A documentary revisits this
journey, bringing together key milestones from a career that unfolded alongside
significant changes in the state.

From Student Leadership to the Assembly

Hassan began his political
journey through the Kerala Students Union (KSU), rising to become its state
president. He subsequently served as chairman of the Kerala University Union
and as a member of the Kerala University Senate. These roles placed him at the
centre of student representation and organisational activity.

His responsibilities later
expanded into the Congress organisation. He served as general secretary of the
Kerala Pradesh Youth Congress and president of the Thiruvananthapuram District
Congress Committee. His public associations also included the Kerala State
Education Advisory Board and the Kerala Sahitya Akademi.

Hassan entered the Kerala
Legislative Assembly in 1980 from Kazhakkoottam. He served five terms: twice
from Kazhakkoottam, twice from Trivandrum West and once from Kayamkulam. His
legislative responsibilities included chairing the Committee on Private
Members’ Bills and Resolutions and the Committee on Public Undertakings. He
also served as secretary of the Congress Parliamentary Party and chief whip of
the opposition parties.

Government, the Gulf and Expatriate Welfare

From May 2001 to August
2004, Hassan served as Minister for Information and Parliamentary Affairs in
the A. K. Antony government, with responsibility for Non-Resident Keralites
Affairs. His ministerial work coincided with a period when migration to the
Gulf remained central to Kerala’s economy and the lives of countless families.

The cost of international
travel was a major concern for expatriate workers, particularly those on lower
incomes. In January 2004, Hassan met Air India’s chairman and managing director
and publicly pressed the airline to introduce a low-cost service for
Kerala–Gulf routes. He warned that the state government would consider
agitation if the service continued to be delayed.

Air India Express
subsequently began Gulf operations on 29 April 2005, introducing a dedicated
budget option for price-sensitive passengers. The launch formed part of a wider
aviation and policy process; Hassan’s documented contribution was his public
advocacy for more affordable travel and greater access for expatriate workers.

NORKA and the Malayali Diaspora

Kerala’s relationship with
its global community also formed an important part of Hassan’s ministerial
portfolio. The state established the Department of Non-Resident Keralites
Affairs, known as NORKA, in 1996. NORKA-Roots, the department’s field agency, was
established in 2002 to support work concerning non-resident Keralites.

The development of this
institutional framework reflected the growing importance of maintaining a
formal connection between Kerala and its people living abroad. For expatriate
families, such a relationship encompasses welfare, grievances, rights and the
practical challenges of living and working far from home.

Challenging Forced Hartals

Another distinctive strand
of Hassan’s public life was his campaign against forced hartals. The issue
raised a difficult democratic question: how can the right to protest be
protected while safeguarding the ability of others to work, travel, study and
access essential services?

Hassan later stated that he
had introduced a private member’s bill in the Kerala Legislative Assembly in
1994 concerning the regulation of hartals. On 23 December 2004, he undertook a
23-hour fast at the Martyrs’ Column in Palayam, Thiruvananthapuram, calling for
a broader public movement against hartals.

His campaign focused on the
effects of forced shutdowns on workers, traders, families and public life. Lost
wages, disrupted businesses and restricted access to essential services made
the issue one extending beyond party politics. His position distinguished the
democratic right to protest from coercive closures that prevent citizens from
going about their daily lives.

Janasree: Development Through Livelihoods

Hassan’s public work also
extended to grassroots development through the Janasree Sustainable Development
Mission, where he served as state chairman. The mission promoted
community-level development, microcredit, self-employment and local enterprise.

In 2009, Hassan announced a
target of providing job training to 10 lakh members with ]]></description>

 Excellence in Sustainability Award from ICC and Excellence in
     Corporate Governance at the Golden Peacock Awards
 Achieves 100% renewable electricity across manufacturing sites
     and an approximately 80% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions over three
     years
      


New Delhi, 23rd October
2026 : Schneider Electric Infrastructure Limited
(SEIL), part of Schneider Electric, a global energy technology leader, has been
recognised for excellence in sustainability and corporate governance,
reflecting its continued progress in decarbonisation, operational efficiency
and responsible business practices. 

SEIL has been awarded the Excellence in
Sustainability Award in the Manufacturing Corporate category at the 4th Annual
Sustainability Symposium &amp; Excellence Awards 2026, organised by the Indian
Chamber of Commerce (ICC). Additionally, the company also received the Golden
Peacock Award 2026 for Excellence in Corporate Governance.

The ICC recognition acknowledges SEIL’s
performance across Carbon management, circularity, biodiversity, water
stewardship, social development and governance, while the Golden Peacock
recognition reflects the company’s focus on transparency, accountability,
ethical business practices and responsible decision-making.

Commenting on the recognitions, Mr.
Udai Singh, MD &amp; CEO, Schneider Electric Infrastructure Ltd,
said, “Sustainability and governance are not separate priorities for
us. They are embedded in how we operate, make decisions and create value. These
recognitions validate the progress we have made in integrating sustainability
and governance into the core of our business. As India accelerates its energy
transition, we remain committed to delivering solutions that help customers
decarbonise while creating long-term value responsibly.”

A key focus of SEIL’s sustainability
ambition is reducing the environmental impact of its operations while improving
energy and resource efficiency. The company has adopted a decarbonisation
approach covering lifecycle carbon emissions, supported by renewable energy
adoption, energy efficiency, digital monitoring, supplier engagement and
investing in low carbon technologies.

 SEIL has successfully achieved 100%
renewable electricity adoption across its manufacturing facilities through a
combination of on-site renewable energy and Renewable Energy Certificates
(RECs). Alongside targeted energy-efficiency interventions such as load
optimization, power factor enhancement, occupancy-based controls, and advanced
energy monitoring, the organization has delivered an approximately 80%
reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions over the past three
years. 

The company is also extending its sustainability
efforts beyond its own operations. Through initiatives such as the Zero
Carbon Project, SEIL is supporting suppliers in reducing their carbon
emissions. In parallel, the company is advancing the adoption of SF₆-free
technologies, including pure air and vacuum insulation, to help reduce
high-impact emissions across the electrical ecosystem.

Together, these initiatives reflect SEIL’s
approach to strengthening sustainability across its operations, products and
value chain. The two recognitions further strengthen SEIL’s commitment to
advancing responsible business practices and supporting the transition towards
a more sustainable and resilient energy ecosystem. These efforts support
Schneider Electric&#039;s broader ambition to help customers, partners and
communities accelerate their sustainability journeys while strengthening
long-term business resilience.

<description><![CDATA[ 

Integrated dual-axis tracking, intelligent
automation, weather monitoring and connected plant operations designed to
enhance energy yield, improve efficiency and reduce the Levelized Cost of
Energy.

Pune, 23 October 2026 : Premium Motion Private Limited (PMPL), part of the
Premium Group, today unveiled India’s First Fully Indigenous AI-Enabled, cost
effective Integrated Solar Tracking Solution at the Renewable Energy India
(REI) Expo 2026, held at the India Expo Centre &amp; Mart, Greater Noida. The
solution was unveiled by Mr. Rajesh Goyal, Business Head, ISGEC Heavy
Engineering Limited, Noida, and Mr. Neeraj Bisaria, Managing Director and
President of the Premium Group.

Aligned with the Government of India’s renewable energy ambitions, Premium
Motion firmly believes in the Make in India vision and is committed to
advancing indigenous technology and engineering for domestic and global

Key Technology Features

The platform features a Three-Level Redundant Tracking System comprising AI
cameras, GPS and time-based tracking, supported by on board inclination sensing
and real-time feedback for accurate solar alignment. Its independent-row
architecture and backtracking capabilities help reduce inter-row shading and
accommodate uneven terrain.

An integrated weather monitoring system measures wind speed and direction, temperature,
humidity, rainfall and atmospheric pressure, enabling trackers to move
automatically into designated safe positions during adverse conditions. Tested
across solar-belt regions of Maharashtra, Gujarat and Rajasthan, the solution
is designed for challenging Indian operating environments.

Through wireless LoRa connectivity and an integrated SCADA and cloud platform,
operators can monitor performance, manage alarms, issue commands and oversee
multiple sites remotely. Predictive diagnostics help identify potential issues,
while waterless robotic cleaning can be scheduled according to weather, dust
and soiling conditions.

Five Key Differentiators

1. Best-Value Proposition: An integrated, cost-effective solution combining
tracking, monitoring, protection and cleaning to help optimise project
economics.
2. Advanced Indigenous Technology: AI-enabled tracking, three-level redundancy,
weather intelligence, SCADA integration and predictive diagnostics within one
connected platform.
3. Make in India: In-house development across mechanical systems, electronics
and software, supporting indigenous innovation and manufacturing.
4. Global Supply Capability: Backed by Premium Group’s global presence and over
66 years of engineering and manufacturing legacy, with infrastructure to serve

<title>The Chennai Angels Backs Konwert India Motors as Auto&#45;Rickshaw Drivers Turn to Electric Retrofits</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/the-chennai-angels-backs-konwert-india-motors-as-auto-rickshaw-drivers-turn-to-electric-retrofits</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/the-chennai-angels-backs-konwert-india-motors-as-auto-rickshaw-drivers-turn-to-electric-retrofits</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

Pre-Series A round with follow-on investment from Campus Angels
Network, Keiretsu Forum Chennai and Native Angel Network, will fund sales
growth, new products and expansion in India and overseas.


Konwert India Motors Pvt. Ltd., a Coimbatore-based electric mobility
company, has raised a pre-Series A round from The Chennai Angels (TCA). Konwert
converts petrol, CNG and LPG auto-rickshaws into electric vehicles. Existing
investors Campus Angels Network, Keiretsu Forum Chennai and Native Angel
Network also invested in the round. 

Konwert will use the funds to grow sales, add to its product range and
enter new markets in India and abroad. 

Most of India’s auto-rickshaws still run on fossil fuels, and for the
drivers who own them, a new electric three-wheeler is often out of reach.
Konwert’s approach is to electrify the vehicle the driver already owns. Its
retrofit costs roughly half the price of a new electric auto-rickshaw. A
patented process completes the conversion in 90 minutes. Drivers save approx
INR 12,000–15,000 a month on fuel, about a quarter of a typical driver’s
monthly income, and get up to 213 km of range on a 10 kWh battery. 

Drivers can service their vehicles at about 800 myTVS touchpoints
across India and finance the conversion through four lending partners.  

Nickendra Manikandan, Founder, Konwert India Motors,
said: “Every auto-rickshaw we convert belongs to a driver who keeps their
vehicle, cuts their fuel bill and takes home more each month. Seeing a product
we built with so much passion on the road, in customers’ hands and improving
their lives, is the most rewarding part of this journey. We are now in our
scaling phase, and this round lets us reach more cities, more vehicle types and
more markets. We are grateful to The Chennai Angels for their support, and to
our existing investors for backing us again.” 

Deepak Reddy, Lead Investor, The Chennai Angels,
said: “Electrifying transport is central to India’s path to energy
independence, and Konwert is well placed to contribute to it. Its product extends
the life of the auto-rickshaws already on our roads while making them cleaner
to run. Beyond the product, Konwert has built the processes and partnerships it
needs to scale. TCA is excited to partner with the team and help supercharge
this mission.” 

About Konwert India Motors 
Konwert India Motors Pvt. Ltd., founded in Coimbatore in 2019 by Nickendra
Manikandan, manufactures electric powertrains that convert petrol, CNG and LPG
auto-rickshaws into electric vehicles. Its magnet-free motors and patented
process enable conversions in 90 minutes at about half the cost of a new
electric three-wheeler. Financing is available through lending partners, with
servicing supported by myTVS. Operating in India and Sri Lanka, Konwert is also
developing retrofit solutions for light commercial vehicles. Learn more at https://www.konwertindiamotors.com/ 

About The Chennai Angels 
The Chennai Angels (TCA) is one of India’s most
active angel investing groups. Founded in 2007, it comprises of successful
entrepreneurs and business leaders with a track record of building and scaling
large enterprises. Over the years, TCA has invested over INR 200 crore across
100+ start-ups in India.

<title>When AI Starts Making Decisions, Who Is Really in Charge? The Leadership Dilemma in Agentic AI</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/when-ai-starts-making-decisions-who-is-really-in-charge-the-leadership-dilemma-in-agentic-ai</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/when-ai-starts-making-decisions-who-is-really-in-charge-the-leadership-dilemma-in-agentic-ai</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

For years, business leaders have been
accustomed to making decisions and delegating their execution. A marketing head
approves a campaign. A finance leader reviews an investment. An operations
manager identifies a bottleneck. Technology helps teams act on those decisions.
But Agentic AI is beginning to challenge this familiar arrangement. What
happens when AI systems can independently plan tasks, interact with software,
coordinate workflows, and execute actions within defined boundaries? The
question is no longer simply how leaders can use AI. It is how they should lead
when AI begins to act.

This represents a more consequential shift
than the arrival of generative AI tools. While conventional AI assistants
largely respond to instructions, agentic systems can pursue objectives through
sequences of actions. A customer service agent might retrieve information,
assess a request, initiate a resolution, and update records. A procurement
agent could compare suppliers, identify anomalies, and recommend purchasing decisions.
These possibilities promise greater operational efficiency, but they also
introduce a difficult management question: when AI can execute a decision, who
remains accountable for its consequences?

The Leadership Challenge Hidden Inside AI
Autonomy

For senior leaders, the complexity lies less
in understanding the technology than in deciding how much authority to delegate
to it. An AI agent might complete a workflow efficiently while overlooking a
commercial exception, misinterpreting customer intent, or acting on incomplete
information. A process can be technically successful yet commercially damaging.

This creates a new set of everyday leadership responsibilities. Which decisions can agents make independently? When must humans
intervene? Who owns an error that travels across interconnected systems? And
how should organisations measure performance when speed and efficiency are no
longer sufficient indicators of success?

These questions cut across functions. In
marketing, autonomous agents could optimise campaigns, but leaders must
determine how much freedom they have over budgets and brand communication. In
HR, AI-supported workflows may improve responsiveness, but fairness, privacy,
and employee trust remain critical. In finance, automated analysis can
accelerate decisions, yet accountability for financial exposure cannot simply be
transferred to an algorithm.

The challenge becomes even more pronounced
with multi-agent systems, where specialised AI agents coordinate to complete
complex tasks. Here, governance must extend beyond individual outputs to the
interactions between agents, systems, and human decision-makers.

From AI Experiments to Enterprise Operating
Models

The next test for organisations is not whether
an Agentic AI pilot works. It is whether that pilot can operate reliably within
the realities of an enterprise.

Scaling requires leaders to examine workflow
design, data quality, cybersecurity, compliance, decision rights, and
organisational readiness together. An agent that performs well in a controlled
demonstration may encounter exceptions, conflicting instructions, or unreliable
information in production.

Consequently, the most valuable leadership
capability may be knowing where autonomy creates value and where it introduces
unacceptable risk. This demands a shift from tool-led experimentation to
outcome-led implementation, supported by clear escalation protocols, human
oversight, and measurable business objectives.

It also requires change management. Employees
must understand how their responsibilities evolve when AI agents become part of
everyday workflows. Successful adoption depends not only on technological
sophistication but also on organisational trust and the ability to redesign
work thoughtfully.

Preparing Leaders for Decisions That AI Can
Execute

It is this emerging leadership challenge that
gives relevance to IIM Kozhikode’s Executive Certificate in Agentic AI for
Leaders. Designed for experienced professionals with at least 10 years of work
experience, the 17-week programme connects Agentic AI foundations with
enterprise workflows, strategic implementation, business value, governance, and
organisational change.

Its application-led approach includes four
projects based on real-world scenarios, exposure to more than five Agentic AI
tools and platforms, and a one-week capstone focused on developing an
enterprise transformation blueprint. The learning experience also features four
industry expert live masterclasses on leadership with

<description><![CDATA[ 

Inspired by Tata legacy since 1868, the new
luxury tea collection brings together distinctive origins, considered
craftsmanship and extraordinary flavour experiences.

Mumbai, October 22, 2026 : Tata Consumer Products today announced the launch of 1868 by Tata
Tea - Crafted for Connoisseurs, a luxury tea collection created for
discerning tea lovers who want to explore tea beyond the everyday cup.

Millions of Indians enjoy tea every day. Yet
the extraordinary diversity, craftsmanship and depth that tea can offer often
remain undiscovered. 1868 by Tata Tea sets out to change that — inviting
consumers to slow down, explore distinctive flavours and rediscover just how
remarkable a cup of tea can be.

At the heart of 1868 by Tata Tea are three
principles: Origin. Craft. Experience.

Origin begins with carefully selected teas from some of India’s celebrated
tea-growing regions.
Craft brings together generations of tea-making expertise, thoughtful
blending and carefully chosen ingredients.
Experience is where it all comes alive — through aroma, flavour, texture
and the pleasure of a cup worth taking time over.

The name 1868 draws inspiration from
the year Jamsetji Tata founded the Tata Group. Rooted in a legacy of quality,
trust and excellence spanning more than 150 years, 1868 by Tata Tea carries
that heritage forward through a contemporary expression of Indian tea luxury.

The inaugural collection from 1868 by Tata Tea
- Crafted for Connoisseurs brings together three distinctive tea experiences


1868 by Tata Tea Masala Chai combines premium-grade tea with real spices to create a rich,
aromatic and indulgent cup.

1868 by Tata Tea Cream of Assam is crafted from Assam tea, featuring select golden tips that lend the
tea richness, depth and character.

1868 by Tata Tea Gourmet Street Chai combines handpicked Assam tea with real ginger and cardamom, inspired
by the unmistakable flavours and essence of India’s chai culture.

Sharat Verma, President – Packaged Beverages
and Organic India, Tata Consumer Products, said:
“India has one of the richest tea cultures in
the world, but we rarely stop to discover just how extraordinary tea can be.
With 1868 by Tata Tea, we want to change that. From distinctive origins and
golden-tipped Assam teas to blends crafted with real spices, every tea has been
created to offer an experience worth slowing down for. 1868 is our invitation
to rediscover something deeply familiar — and experience it in an entirely new
way.”

1868 by Tata Tea is crafted for those who do
not simply drink tea, but want to discover it.

<title>FMCG veteran Suresh Ramachandran launches My Way Is the SURE Way, a practical playbook for scaling consumer businesses</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/fmcg-veteran-suresh-ramachandran-launches-my-way-is-the-sure-way-a-practical-playbook-for-scaling-consumer-businesses</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/fmcg-veteran-suresh-ramachandran-launches-my-way-is-the-sure-way-a-practical-playbook-for-scaling-consumer-businesses</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

New Delhi : 
FMCG Industry veteran, Suresh Ramachandran today launched his first
book, My Way Is the SURE Way: A Practitioner’s
GTM Playbook for FMCG Founders &amp; Leadership Teams, drawing on three
decades of FMCG experience, field observations and distributor interactions to
offer a structured approach to go-to-market (GTM) strategy. The book is aimed
particularly at founders and sales leaders of businesses in the ₹100- 400 crore
range, where the strategies that drive early growth may need to evolve to
support the next stage of expansion.

As
Indian FMCG businesses navigate an increasingly competitive marketplace, scaling
requires more than greater sales effort. It calls for sharper market
prioritisation, a deeper understanding of consumers and channels, effective
distribution and disciplined execution.

At
the heart of the book is the  SURE framework , a four-part approach
to sustainable growth:  Segment,  which focuses on identifying and prioritising
the right markets, customers and growth opportunities;  Understand,  which emphasises developing a deeper
understanding of consumers, channels and marketplace realities;  Reach,  which focuses on building the right route to
market to connect products with their intended customers; and  Execute,  which translates strategy into consistent,
disciplined action on the ground.

Together,
these four disciplines in the right sequence provide a structured approach to
go-to-market planning and execution, helping business leaders examine where
their growth strategies may be falling short and where a more focused approach
could deliver better results.

Commenting
on the thinking behind the book,  Suresh Ramachandran, author of My Way Is
the SURE Way, said:

“Over
the years, I’ve seen businesses work harder and harder to solve growth problems
without always stepping back to ask whether they’re solving the right problem
in the first place. A drop in sales productivity or a distribution gap is a
symptom; the real work is to understand what’s causing it and what needs to
change. 

“That’s
what led me to put together the SURE framework. The book draws on field
observations, distributor interactions, market visits and on-ground sales
realities to help FMCG founders, business owners, sales and distribution
leaders, and marketing professionals strengthen their go-to-market strategies.

My Way Is the SURE Way addresses practical questions
through a practitioner’s lens. Its central premise is that sustainable growth
is not achieved through effort alone; it requires a clear framework that
connects market understanding with focused reach and effective execution.”

Book availability:My
Way Is the SURE Way
is out now and will be available to purchase through all major platforms.

<description><![CDATA[ 

Varanasi, October
21, 2026 : Delhi
Public School (DPS) Varanasi has secured the
No. 1 position in the city in the C-Fore School Survey, recognising the
school&#039;s commitment to academic excellence, innovative teaching practices and
holistic student development. The recognition reflects the institution&#039;s
continued efforts to create a learning environment that goes beyond
conventional classroom education, with a strong emphasis on critical thinking,
creativity, character building and experiential learning.

At the core of DPS
Varanasi&#039;s educational approach is its distinctive 4R framework: Relevance, Relationship, Rigour and Reflection ,
which focuses on making learning meaningful, engaging and connected to
real-world experiences. The school has adopted inquiry-based learning,
project-based learning, experiential learning, technology integration and
interdisciplinary approaches to encourage students to question, explore,
collaborate and apply their knowledge beyond textbooks.

Commenting on the achievement, Mr.
Siddharth Rajgarhia, Chief Learner and Director, DPS Varanasi, said, &quot;Being ranked No. 1 in Varanasi in the
C-Fore School Survey is a proud moment for the entire DPS Varanasi community.
This recognition reflects our collective commitment to creating an educational
environment where learning extends beyond academic achievement to developing
curiosity, character and a sense of responsibility. Our focus has always been
on moving from teaching to learning, from participation to ownership and from
knowledge to application. We believe that meaningful education must prepare
students not only for examinations but also for the challenges and
opportunities of the future. This achievement motivates us to continue
strengthening our learning practices and setting higher benchmarks for
ourselves.&quot;

The school&#039;s
approach to holistic education is further supported by a range of
student-centric initiatives, including TED-Ed, Samurja, Confab, Read and Grow,
Student-Led Conferences, the Buddy Programme and Community Connect initiatives.
These platforms provide students with opportunities to develop communication
skills, leadership qualities, empathy, collaboration and social responsibility
while encouraging active participation in their learning journeys.

Recognising the
critical role of educators in shaping student outcomes, DPS Varanasi also
places considerable emphasis on continuous professional development. Through
its Professional Development Cell, structured professional learning programmes
and CC Friday collaborative sessions, the school provides teachers with
opportunities to exchange ideas, reflect on classroom practices and adopt
innovative teaching methodologies. This approach is guided by the belief that
continuous teacher development is essential to improving the quality of
education.

The recognition
also highlights the collaborative efforts of the school&#039;s leadership,
educators, students and parents in building a learning environment that
balances academic achievement with creativity, well-being and values. By
encouraging student ownership of learning and fostering strong relationships
between teachers and learners, the school aims to develop confident,
independent and responsible individuals.

Rooted in the ethos
of &quot;Service Before Self,&quot;
DPS Varanasi continues to focus on nurturing students equipped with
21st-century skills while remaining grounded in Indian culture and values. The
No. 1 ranking in the C-Fore School Survey marks an important milestone in the
school&#039;s journey and reinforces its commitment to continuous improvement,
educational innovation and holistic development.

<title>India’s Consumer&#45;Facing Businesses Adapt to Evolving Trends and New Market Opportunities</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/indias-consumer-facing-businesses-adapt-to-evolving-trends-and-new-market-opportunities</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/indias-consumer-facing-businesses-adapt-to-evolving-trends-and-new-market-opportunities</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

This week, businesses are
making moves across multiple fronts—from introducing new products and expanding
into new markets to making premium offerings more accessible and building
experiences around evolving consumer lifestyles. Homegrown brands are also increasingly
focusing on differentiation, convenience, craftsmanship and experience as they
look to strengthen their position in competitive markets.

From RollsKing’s new menu
additions and Taste Of Sikkim’s expansion in Gurgaon to Designs By Queen Bee’s
approach to accessible conscious luxury, brands are finding new ways to respond
to shifting demand. At the same time, businesses such as Glued Supercharged,
Rolling Fresh, Kingsway, Muse O’ Metals, Adorable Bliss and Curry Crown are
tapping into emerging opportunities across experiences, convenience,
automotive, gifting, lifestyle and dining.

Here’s a look at the key
business developments and brand moves making headlines this week.

Designs By Queen Bee Is
Making Conscious Luxury More Accessible

As women increasingly look for
fashion that combines style, comfort and individuality, the definition of
luxury is evolving. Today, consumers are seeking quality fabrics, thoughtful
craftsmanship and versatile designs without necessarily paying traditional
luxury-level prices.

Designs By Queen Bee, founded
by Sakshi Gupta in 2021, is tapping into this shift with a fashion proposition
that brings together premium fabrics, conscious craftsmanship and accessible
pricing. Built on the belief that fashion should empower rather than overwhelm,
the brand creates clothing that blends elegance, comfort and everyday
wearability.

A key differentiator is its
focus on luxury-quality fabrics and refined craftsmanship at accessible price
points, with collections ranging from ₹2,000 to ₹8,000, making premium dressing
more attainable for a wider audience. Designed to be inclusive rather than
age-specific, the brand’s collections cater to women across age groups who
appreciate quality, individuality and effortless style.

The brand works with premium,
breathable and sustainable fabrics, handcrafted detailing, ecological
manufacturing processes and skilled artisans. Its limited-edition pieces are
designed to offer a more distinctive alternative to mass-produced fashion,
while maintaining a balance between contemporary aesthetics and comfort.

From everyday dressing and
workwear to festive occasions and celebrations, the silhouettes are designed to
move seamlessly across different moments and lifestyles. Drawing inspiration
from global fashion trends and cultural influences, Designs By Queen Bee
focuses on pieces that allow women to express their individual style rather
than simply follow trends.

This combination of premium
fabrics, conscious production, limited-edition craftsmanship and accessible
pricing reflects a growing consumer preference for fashion that feels elevated
yet attainable. With its considered price range and emphasis on quality, the
brand aims to bridge the gap between everyday fashion and luxury dressing
without compromising on craftsmanship or design.

By creating luxury-inspired
clothing that is comfortable, thoughtfully made and accessible across age
groups, Designs By Queen Bee is positioning itself as a brand for women who
want to dress beautifully, consciously and confidently—without making luxury
feel out of reach.

Glued Supercharged Is
Benefiting From India&#039;s Shift Towards Experience-Led Celebrations

Festive celebrations today
increasingly revolve around creating memorable experiences rather than simply
purchasing products.

This shift has benefited
entertainment destinations like Glued Supercharged, which combines arcade
gaming, immersive attractions, food and celebration spaces under one roof. From
birthday parties and family outings to festive reunions and corporate celebrations,
experience-led entertainment continues to gain traction among urban consumers
looking for new ways to celebrate together.

As India&#039;s experience economy
continues to expand, entertainment destinations are becoming an integral part
of festive spending.

Kingsway Is Preparing
Consumers For India&#039;s Holiday Travel Season

The festive months also mark
one of India&#039;s busiest travel periods, with millions undertaking road trips and
family visits across the country.

Kingsway is leveraging this
seasonal movement through its portfolio of Made-in-India automotive
accessories, including 7D Car Floor Mats, magnetic sunshades, memory foam
cushions and vehicle protection solutions.

As consumers increasingly
invest in enhancing driving comfort and protecting their vehicles, premium
automotive accessories are emerging as an important part of festive spending,
particularly among car owners planning long-distance travel.

Muse O’ Metals Is Bringing
Heritage And Longevity To India’s Festive Shopping

As India enters its biggest
festive spending season, consumers are increasingly looking beyond conventional
purchases towards products that ]]></description>

<title>ECTI Introduces AI&#45;Integrated Python and Full Stack Development Training in Pune with Industry&#45;Updated Curriculum</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 

Pune, October 21, 2026: As
artificial intelligence continues to reshape software development and
technology careers, Pune-based training institute ECTI is focusing on
industry-relevant technical education through its Python and Full Stack Python development course. With an emphasis on updated programming skills, AI-assisted
development tools and practical training, the institute aims to help students
and working professionals adapt to the changing demands of the IT industry.

The growing integration of artificial intelligence into software
development has transformed the skills expected of aspiring programmers. Beyond
learning programming languages, developers are increasingly expected to
understand modern development workflows, automation and AI-powered coding
assistance. Recognising this shift, ECTI is positioning its Python training
programmes around contemporary industry requirements.

Python Training Designed for the AI Era

ECTI&#039;s Python Full Stack Development Course is designed to help
learners build a foundation in programming while developing an understanding of
full stack application development.

The institute places particular emphasis on keeping its curriculum
aligned with evolving technology trends, including the growing role of
artificial intelligence in coding and software development.

By introducing learners to industry-relevant AI tools alongside
conventional programming concepts, ECTI aims to bridge the gap between
classroom learning and practical software development requirements.

The training approach focuses on helping students understand not only
how to write code but also how emerging technologies are influencing the way
applications are designed, developed and maintained.

Small Batches for Personalised Learning

One of the distinguishing features of ECTI&#039;s training model is its focus
on manageable classroom sizes. The institute conducts monthly batches with
approximately 20 to 25 students, allowing trainers to provide individual
attention, address technical queries and support practical learning.

This batch structure is intended to create an interactive environment
where students can strengthen their programming fundamentals, clarify concepts
and develop confidence through regular practice.

According to the institute, more than 2,000 students have provided
highly positive ratings and feedback on its training programmes, reflecting
its emphasis on accessible and career-oriented technical education.

Bridging the Gap Between Academic Knowledge and Industry Expectations

As businesses increasingly adopt automation, artificial intelligence
and data-driven technologies, Python continues to play an important role across
software development, web applications and emerging technology solutions.

ECTI&#039;s training approach seeks to address this demand by combining
foundational programming knowledge with exposure to modern development
practices.

The institute&#039;s Full Stack Python programme is aimed at students,
recent graduates, aspiring software developers and working professionals
looking to enhance their technical capabilities.

Rather than limiting training to theoretical instruction, ECTI
emphasises practical understanding and the application of programming concepts
in development environments.

Supporting Pune&#039;s Growing Technology Talent Pool

Pune has established itself as an important centre for information
technology, software services and engineering education. With demand for
adaptable technical skills continuing to evolve, industry-aligned training
programmes can play a meaningful role in preparing aspiring professionals for
technology careers.

Through its regularly scheduled batches and updated learning approach,
ECTI aims to make Python education accessible to learners at different stages
of their professional journeys.

Students interested in exploring the institute&#039;s courses can find
additional information about its Full Stack Python training programmes with AI in Pune, including course details and learning opportunities.

By bringing together Python programming, full stack development
concepts and AI-assisted learning, ECTI seeks to equip learners with the
technical foundation and adaptability required in an increasingly AI-driven
software industry.

About ECTI

ECTI also know as Envision Computer Training Institute, is a
Pune-based technical training institute offering programming and software
development courses. Its Python and Full Stack Python programmes focus on
practical learning, industry-relevant technical skills and small-batch training
designed to support aspiring IT professionals.

<description><![CDATA[   Starring Saiju Kurup, Yogi Babu,
Baby Eva and Sithara Vijayan, the Rajesh Nair directorial explores faith,
reason and the transformative power of belief 

Panorama Studios and Ajith Vinayaka Films are delighted to
announce their collaboration on Harivarasanam, an upcoming Malayalam
devotional thriller that brings together faith, suspense and the deep-rooted
human bonds that transcend boundaries. Produced by Ajith Vinayaka of Ajith
Vinayaka Films and Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak of Panorama Studios,
the film is directed by Rajesh Nair and written by Ampadhy K. Rooted in a
compelling premise, Harivarasanam explores the intersection of belief
and reason through a story that promises to be both emotionally resonant and
intriguing.

HARIVARASANAM is a deeply intimate, soul-stirring portrait
of fatherhood. At its core is a man seeking to rebuild the one thing he
lost—his child’s trust in him. As he treks across physical and emotional
boundaries, his convictions are stripped raw. Caught in a relentless tug-of-war
between the quiet solace of faith and the harsh truths of reason, he discovers
that the hardest journey isn&#039;t the distance traveled, but the pieces of himself
he must surrender along the way.

Starring Saiju Kurup in the lead, alongside Yogi Babu, Baby Eva, Sithara
Vijayan and Sampath Raj, the film also features Joy Mathew, Maniyanpilla Raju,
Shyamaprasad, Madhupal, T. G. Ravi and Abhiram. The music is composed by Ranjin
Raj.

Rajesh Nair, an accomplished filmmaker with experience
across Malayalam and Indian cinema, is known for exploring a range of genres,
from thrillers and family dramas to large-scale commercial entertainers. His
directorial credits include Escape from Uganda, Salt Mango Tree,Thrissur Pooram
and Mahadev Ka Gorakhpur.

Speaking about Harivarasanam, director Rajesh
Nair said, “It is a story that brings together two very different
perspectives on life—faith and rationality. What interested me was exploring
these through the relationship between a father and his daughter, and how a
journey undertaken for one reason can lead to a much deeper realisation. The
backdrop of Sabarimala lends the story a unique emotional and spiritual
dimension, while the thriller element keeps the narrative engaging. I’m glad to
have Panorama Studios on board partnering with Ajith Vinayaka Films on a story
that offers an opportunity to explore this distinctive genre while connecting
with audiences through emotions that are deeply universal. I hope the film
resonates with audiences on both an emotional and a human level.”

Panorama Studios has established itself as one of India’s
leading content-driven film studios, known for delivering critically acclaimed
and commercially successful cinema. Its celebrated slate includes Omkara,
Special 26, Pyaar Ka Punchnama, Raid, Shaitaan, and the blockbuster Drishyam
franchise, earning over 50 prestigious awards. In Malayalam cinema, Panorama
Studios has partnered with acclaimed talent across a diverse slate of projects,
including Anomie, featuring Rahman and Bhavana; Tiki Taka, starring Asif Ali;
and Unmadham, featuring Kunchacko Boban and Lijomol Jose. Its upcoming slate
also includes projects with leading Malayalam stars Fahadh Faasil, Tovino
Thomas, Sangeeth Prathap and Anna Ben, among others.

Kumar Mangat Pathak, Chairman, Panorama Studios, said, “A devotional thriller is a unique space to explore,
offering the opportunity to bring together faith, suspense and deeply human
emotions. At the heart of Harivarasanam is the relationship between a father
and his daughter, a bond that is universal and resonates with millions of
people across the world. We are delighted to have Rajesh Nair on board as the
director and to partner with Ajith Vinayaka Films to bring this story to
audiences.”

Abhishek Pathak, Managing Director, Panorama Studios, added, “What drew us to Harivarasanam is the central conflict
of the story. It begins with a man who is certain about what he believes, but
the journey forces him to look at life differently. That makes it an
interesting space to explore cinematically, especially through the lens of a
devotional thriller. We are delighted to collaborate with Ajith Vinayaka and
Rajesh Nair on a film that brings together emotion, suspense and a deeply
rooted cultural setting.”

Vinayaka Ajith is the founder and driving force behind
Ajith Vinayaka Films, a Malayalam production house known for its diverse slate
spanning mainstream entertainers and distinctive, content-driven cinema. His
production credits include Saturday Night, Madanolsavam, Bandra, Gaganachari,
Ponman, Sarkeet and Masthishka Maranam, reflecting his versatility and
commitment to backing stories across genres.

Ajith Vinayaka, Producer, Ajith Vinayaka Films Pvt. Ltd., said, “Harivarasanam is a special project for us because it
tells a story that is rooted in faith but speaks to something universal—the way
certain experiences can change our perspective on life. With Rajesh Nair

Vneet Jaain &amp; Manish Mohnot are Construction World
Persons of the Year 2026

L&amp;T, Kalpataru, NCC, AFCONS, Cemindia, DRAIPL,
Varindera, J Kumar, VASCON are fastest growing construction companies. Awarded
with ENR Global contractors.

Mumbai, October 19, 2026: The BKT Tyres 24th
Construction World Global Awards (CWGA) brought together leaders from India&#039;s
construction and infrastructure sectors to recognise outstanding companies,
projects and individuals at a ceremony held at Aurika, Mumbai International
Airport, on October 15, 2026. Held as part of the India Construction Festival
2026, the awards presented 45 honours across company rankings, nominated
categories and individual recognitions.

The evening also marked the unveiling of the 30th edition
of the Construction World Annual, themed Infrastructure Reset.
Featuring contributions from 27 industry leaders, the annual examines how
technology, sustainability, finance and talent can transform the construction
and infrastructure sectors and shape their next phase of growth.

Welcoming the gathering, Pratap Padode, Founder and
Editor-in-Chief, ASAPP Info Global Group, emphasised that the awards
recognise sustained performance rather than a single exceptional year.
Explaining the evaluation process for the fastest-growing construction
companies, he highlighted the six-year financial assessment followed by a jury
evaluation of qualitative parameters, including governance, business strategy,
resilience, management capability and the quality of growth.

A key change in this year&#039;s methodology was a stronger
emphasis on cash profits, with greater weightage given to cash profits relative
to operating revenue. “Cash is capability,” Padode said, underlining that cash
generation enables companies to invest in equipment and technology, manage
delayed payments, absorb market shocks and make disciplined project-selection
decisions.

He also pointed to the challenges facing the sector,
including rising labour and input costs, slower road awards, cautious private
investment and project delays. While technology can improve productivity and
execution, he stressed that it must be supported by sound project preparation
and rational procurement. He further called for stronger project pipelines,
deeper private investment and greater international competitiveness among
Indian construction and design companies.

The event also featured a presentation on IMPACCT,
ASAPP Info Global Group&#039;s business intelligence platform, by Tanveer Padode,
CEO. His presentation highlighted IMPACCT&#039;s capabilities as a project
intelligence tool that tracks more than 150,000 projects across India,
covering transportation, utilities, public infrastructure, and buildings and
factories, from concept to completion.

The awards recognised Vneet S. Jaain, Managing Director,
Adani Green Energy, and Manish Mohnot, Managing Director &amp; CEO,
Kalpataru Projects International, as joint recipients of the Person of
the Year 2026 – Private Sector award.

Among the corporate honours, Larsen &amp; Toubro received
the award for Largest and Most Profitable Construction Company of the Year.
Companies were also recognised across the Prime, Medium, Large and Ultra Large
categories of fastest-growing construction companies. Other awards acknowledged
achievements in international contracting and design, project delivery,
innovation, equipment and individual leadership.

The ceremony concluded with a vote of thanks by Falguni
Padode, Co-Founder aned Group Managing Editor, ASAPP Info Global Group, who
acknowledged the award partners, jury members, participating companies,
industry leaders and teams whose support contributed to the event.

The 24th Construction World Global Awards were
presented by BKT Tyres, with Autodesk as the Powered by partner and Afcons
Infrastructure as the Co-powered by partner. The Gold Partners were
Dineshchandra R. Agrawal Infracon, Kalpataru Projects International, GMMCO,
Larsen &amp; Toubro, Cemindia Projects and JSW Better Everyday. Vascon
Engineers and J. Kumar Infraprojects were the Silver Partners, while Shyam
Steel Industries, Gulf Oil and Varindera Constructions were the Associate
Partners. The awards were held in association with Engineering News-Record
(ENR), with IMPACCT as the Business Intelligence Partner. The Supporting
Partners were the Indian Institute of Materials Management, National Highways
Builders Federation, Builders&#039; Association of India, International Road
Federation and Mumbai First. Construction World, Equipment India and

The Construction World Global Awards continue to provide a

India’s Leading AI-First Design Institution
Defines the Future of Fashion Through Student Showcase and a Practical
Blueprint for Modern Menswear

New Delhi, 19 October 2026: Championing individual expression over transient trends, Pearl
Academy made a landmark impression at the finale of Lakmé Fashion Week x FDCI,
presenting GenAnokhi: India, Worn Your Way, a student-led runway
showcase through First Cut, followed by the launch of The Ultimate Styling
Guide for Modern Men, authored by Pearl Academy Chairman Sharad Mehra and
published by Penguin Random House India. While the showcase explored how a new
generation is shaping the Indian fashion identity, the book examined how
personal style informs the way men dress, make choices and present themselves.
Together, the two highlighted how clothing can be both a creative expression
and a statement of individual identity.

Drawing on the meaning of Anokhi—unique
or distinctive—GenAnokhi explored what the “new Indian look” means to a
generation shaped by global trends, digital cultures and diverse creative
influences. Through contemporary silhouettes, textiles and experimental
styling, student designers reinterpreted Indian heritage through their own
sensibilities. Six artisans representing Charpai weaving, Zardozi embroidery,
handloom wool, block printing, Gota Patti and tassel work, and Charkha spinning
brought traditional craft techniques to the runway, connecting India&#039;s craft
heritage with its evolving fashion language. The showcase reflected how style
can express cultural identity while allowing room for individual
interpretation.

That relationship between style and
self-expression extends beyond the runway to everyday dressing. The Ultimate
Styling Guide for Modern Men offers a structured yet accessible approach to
understanding personal style and body types, building a versatile wardrobe,
choosing the right fit and dressing for different occasions. Rather than
focusing on fleeting trends, it emphasises self-awareness and personal
expression, helping men make informed choices that suit their personality and
lifestyle and build confidence in how they present themselves.

“You are your style; the rest is mere detail.
For me, getting dressed is enjoyable because of the little details, whether
it&#039;s a colourful suit or the right pair of shoes. This book is my invitation to
other men to have a little more fun with what they wear. You don&#039;t need
expensive labels or a rulebook. You just need to know yourself and dress like
yourself, only with a little more confidence,” said Dr Sharad Mehra, Chairman, Pearl Academy.

Sunil Sethi, Chairman, Fashion Design Council
of India (FDCI), added, “Pearl
Academy&#039;s First Cut has been an important platform for emerging designers to
gain industry exposure, and GenAnokhi offers an exciting interpretation of
Indian fashion by blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary
perspectives. Fashion and style go hand in hand, and I look forward to Dr.
Sharad Mehra&#039;s book, The Ultimate Styling Guide for Modern Men, which promises
valuable insights into modern styling.”
Sharad’s own approach to dressing reflects the
philosophy behind the book. He combines Western tailoring with Indian textiles
such as Ikat, Kalamkari and Chikankari, incorporating colour, unconventional
suits and distinctive details into his wardrobe. Through the book, he
encourages men to move beyond rigid rules and trends to develop a personal
style that reflects who they are.

About the Author

Sharad Mehra is a father, leader, CEO, mentor and chairman—but he has never quite
looked the part of the conventional corporate executive. And that is entirely
by choice.

For Sharad, style has always been personal.
His wardrobe reflects his personality: confident, curious and never afraid to
try something different. Then there are the shoes. With more than 200 pairs,
his collection ranges from classic brogues to colourful sneakers—and some are
proudly displayed in his living room. For Sharad, it is often these little
details that make getting dressed enjoyable.

This book grew naturally from that love of
clothes and years of developing his own sense of style. It is his passion
project and an invitation to other men to have a little more fun with what they
wear. Sharad doesn&#039;t believe style is about expensive labels, rigid rules or
following every trend. It is about knowing yourself, expressing yourself and
feeling comfortable in what you choose to wear.

Above all, his philosophy is simple: dress
like yourself—only with a little more confidence.

Celebrating
the intersection of heritage craftsmanship and modern occasionwear, the
showcase featured actor Ali Fazal as showstopper, bringing a contemporary
expression of Indian elegance to the runway

New
Delhi, 17 October 2026: Bringing together the richness of Indian
craftsmanship and a contemporary approach to occasion dressing, Tasva, the
premium Indian menswear brand by Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd. and
designer Tarun Tahiliani, presented its latest menswear collection at Lakmē
Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI at Taj Palace, New Delhi. Reimagining
traditional menswear through modern silhouettes, intricate detailing and a
refined colour palette, the showcase celebrated individuality and the evolving
sartorial choices of the modern Indian groom. Adding to the runway
presentation, actor Ali Fazal walked as the showstopper for Tasva,
embodying the collection&#039;s spirit of confidence, sophistication and effortless
elegance. Creators Mohak Narang, Ashi Khanna, Tarun Kinra and Sunny Chopra
also walked the runway for Tasva, bringing their own style and personality to
the showcase.

Rooted
in the belief that occasionwear should reflect personal style while honouring
tradition, the collection presented a versatile wardrobe designed for the many
celebrations that define an Indian wedding. Drawing inspiration from the Tree
of Life, the intricate artistry of Lipan Art, the fluidity of paisleys and the
evocative Art of Light, the collection brought together diverse artistic
influences through a contemporary design language. Floral, fluid and geometric
artworks formed a distinctive visual narrative, translating traditional
references into pieces that felt both timeless and relevant to the modern
wardrobe.

Highlighting
the significance of celebrating Indian craftsmanship through contemporary
design, Sunil Sethi, Chairman, Fashion Design
Council of India (FDCI), added, &quot;Tasva represents an interesting
dialogue between India&#039;s rich sartorial heritage and the evolving preferences
of the modern Indian man. What stands out in this collection is the way
traditional techniques and artistic influences have been interpreted through
contemporary silhouettes. Platforms such as Lakmē Fashion Week in partnership
with FDCI provide an opportunity to showcase this evolution, while continuing
to highlight the relevance of Indian craftsmanship in today&#039;s fashion landscape.&quot;

The
collection placed a strong emphasis on Indian artisanal techniques,
including Aari work, Zardozi and mirror work, complemented by appliqué,
pearl embellishments and three-dimensional detailing. These elements introduced
texture and depth across the ensembles, showcasing the relationship between
heritage craftsmanship and modern construction. Each garment reflected a
considered approach to design, where intricate surface ornamentation
complemented clean lines and contemporary proportions. A thoughtfully curated
colour palette further defined the collection&#039;s visual identity. Soft shades
of ivory, lilac, salmon and jade brought an understated elegance to
ensembles designed for daytime celebrations, while deeper jewel tones and
vibrant accents introduced a more expressive mood for cocktail evenings and
mehndi festivities. Moving seamlessly between subtle sophistication and
statement dressing, the collection reflected the diversity of occasions and
personal preferences that shape contemporary Indian weddings.

The
silhouettes offered a fresh interpretation of traditional menswear, with classic
sherwanis featuring asymmetrical details and sharp tailoring, alongside
sleek dinner jackets and contemporary Indo-Western ensembles. Combining
structure with ease, the collection explored how familiar ceremonial styles can
evolve to suit a new generation of grooms and celebrants. The result was a
wardrobe that balanced the richness of Indian occasionwear with the versatility
and confidence of modern dressing.

Speaking
about the inspiration behind the collection and its presentation at Lakmē
Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI, Tarun Tahiliani shared, &quot;At
TASVA, our approach has always been to make Indian occasion wear relevant to
how we celebrate today. We combine global tailoring and pattern-making
techniques with our heritage to create clothing that is both contemporary and
comfortable. I have heard Indian men complain that Indian clothing is
uncomfortable, which is why comfort is central to what we do. For us, that is
what good fashion is all about. We bring together traditional craftsmanship
with a modern understanding of silhouette, comfort and individuality. We also
use technology to make embroidery techniques more accessible and affordable,
creating modern interpretations of classic sherwanis, open indowesterns and
contemporary silhouettes. Every element reflects our belief that tradition
should continue, but in a new voice.&quot;

Commenting
on the collection and Tasva’s evolving approach to contemporary Indian
menswear, Mr. Ashish Mukul, Brand Head, Tas ]]></description>

<title>BabyOrgano 2.0: Ayurveda Brand Reinvents Its Identity to Speak to India’s New&#45;Age Parents</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/babyorgano-20-ayurveda-brand-reinvents-its-identity-to-speak-to-indias-new-age-parents</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/babyorgano-20-ayurveda-brand-reinvents-its-identity-to-speak-to-indias-new-age-parents</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

National,
17th October, 2026: BabyOrgano, an Ayurveda-led children’s
wellness brand trusted by 2M+ parents across India, has unveiled BabyOrgano
2.0, a new chapter that brings together a refreshed identity, redesigned
packaging, a new mascot and a sharper focus on how today’s parents approach
children’s wellness.

The
evolution comes as parents increasingly read labels, research ingredients
and move towards preventive wellness, while also looking for Ayurvedic
solutions that fit more naturally into modern family routines. BabyOrgano says
the new identity is designed to reflect this shift and its ambition to reach
more families, including fathers and caregivers.

Founded
by Riddhi Sharma as a mother-led idea, BabyOrgano’s new positioning, “Grounded
in Ayurveda. Guided by Science,” aims to bring traditional Ayurvedic
principles into everyday wellness while giving parents greater clarity around
products and ingredients.

Riddhi
Sharma, Founder, BabyOrgano, said that “BabyOrgano 2.0 is our way of
growing up alongside the families who have trusted us. Our look, our voice and
the way we reach families have evolved, but our promise remains the same. Our
next phase is about making Ayurveda, grounded in tradition and guided by
science, a simple part of every family&#039;s routine, in India and beyond.”

Ripul
Sharma, Co-founder, BabyOrgano, said that “Our
current journey represents a critical pivot in our operational and business
strategy. As we scale from serving our existing 2 million parents to targeting
deeper penetration across Tier 1 and Tier 2 markets, building a unified,
scalable, and intuitive brand identity became imperative. Introducing &#039;Oru&#039;
isn&#039;t just about a visual refresh - it&#039;s an operational anchor for the brand&#039;s
long-term intellectual property, expanding into educational content, and
merchandise.&quot;

 &quot;Simultaneously, our focus on
co-parenting opens up a broader, inclusive target audience - bringing fathers actively
into the purchasing funnel and doubling our target addressable market.”

At
the centre of the new identity is Oru [brand mascot], a friendly
tortoise who will appear across the brand’s logo, packaging, digital platforms
and upcoming consumer experiences. Representing protection, longevity and
steady growth, Oru is also being developed into a larger children-focused brand
property through Oru’s World, educational content and merchandise.

BabyOrgano
has also overhauled its packaging across four categories - Immunity,
Nutrition, Relief &amp; Care, and Daily Care - with a colour-coded system
designed to make product discovery easier for parents. The brand’s portfolio
currently spans 25+ products across wellness, personal care and
nutrition.

The
brand’s evolution extends beyond its visual identity. BabyOrgano launched its
first official brand film around equal co-parenting, reflecting its
belief that raising a healthy child is a shared responsibility. The film is
intended to open a larger platform around modern parenting and the changing
dynamics of family life.

BabyOrgano
will now focus on expanding its presence across Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities,
introducing new products, strengthening digital and marketplace channels, and
taking its wellness conversation into communities through Oru Wellness Camps
and Swarnaprashan Camps with schools.

With
BabyOrgano 2.0, the brand steps into its next growth phase building the brand
identity around a simple idea: making Ayurveda more modern, transparent and
relevant to the way Indian families think about children’s health today.

About
BabyOrgano

BabyOrgano
is an Ayurveda-led children’s wellness brand offering 25+ products across
wellness, personal care and nutrition. Founded by Riddhi Sharma, the brand
focuses on bringing Ayurvedic principles and clean ingredients into everyday
family routines and is trusted by 2M+ parents across India.

<description><![CDATA[ 

Hyderabad, October,
2026 : In a
landmark pediatric liver transplant, a six-week-old baby weighing just 2.9
kilograms has successfully undergone a living-donor liver transplant at Rainbow
Children’s Hospital, Banjara Hills, after developing rapidly progressive liver
failure due to a rare condition called Gestational Alloimmune Liver Disease
(GALD). The baby received a 62-gram liver graft donated by his mother and,
after a complex recovery, was discharged breathing without oxygen and taking
full feeds by mouth, with the transplanted liver functioning well.

The
baby developed jaundice in the first week of life and progressed to severe
liver failure by three weeks. The Pediatric Gastroenterology and
Hepatology team
rapidly investigated the cause and suspected GALD after excluding important
infections, metabolic disorders and genetic causes. When intravenous
immunoglobulin and two exchange transfusions failed to stop the deterioration,
the team moved swiftly to liver transplantation.

At
just 2.9 kilograms, the baby’s extremely small blood vessels and limited space
in the abdomen made the transplant particularly challenging. The mother’s liver
graft was carefully reduced to 62 grams to match the baby’s size. Connecting
the tiny arteries and veins and positioning the graft safely required
exceptional surgical precision and expertise in pediatric liver
transplantation. Despite the complexity of the procedure, the transplant was
successfully completed.

The
post-operative period was equally challenging. The baby developed severe lung
problems requiring advanced breathing support, including high-frequency
oscillatory ventilation and inhaled nitric oxide. Bronchoscopy was used to
clear secretions and treat areas of lung collapse. He also developed serious
infections caused by bacteria resistant to several antibiotics. In addition, a
leak developed near one of the surgical joins (anastomotic site) in his
intestine, which led to a second surgery and the creation of temporary stomas,
openings on the abdomen that let the bowel rest and heal. The baby was managed
with prolonged intravenous nutritional support and oral feeds were gradually
restarted and increased under close monitoring until he was able to take full
feeds by mouth.

Dr. Prashant Bachina,
Pediatric Gastroenterologist and Hepatologist, said:  Dr. Prashant Bachina, Pediatric
Gastroenterologist and Hepatologist, said: “In a newborn with rapidly worsening
liver failure, early diagnosis and timely transplantation can make the
difference between life and death. This is possible when a child is cared for
in a specialised pediatric centre where all the required expertise is available
under one roof. The recovery after transplant was equally challenging and
required close monitoring and multidisciplinary care. Close postoperative
monitoring, nutritional support and timely management of complications were
essential to protect the new liver and help the baby recover.”

Dr. Srinivas Reddy
Mettu, Pediatric Liver Transplant Surgery, said:  “A liver transplant in a baby this small is a
highly complex procedure and requires a high level of surgical expertise and
precision. At 2.9 kilograms, the baby’s blood vessels were extremely tiny,
while the limited space in the abdomen added to the surgical challenge. The
mother’s liver graft also had to be carefully reduced to 62 grams to match the
baby’s size. Safely connecting the tiny blood vessels and positioning the graft
required meticulous planning, fine surgical skill and close teamwork.”

The
baby’s recovery involved close coordination between Pediatric Gastroenterology
and Hepatology, Pediatric Liver Transplant Surgery, Pediatric Anesthesia,
Pediatric Intensive Care, Neonatal Intensive Care, Pediatric Surgery,
Radiology, Nutrition, Physiotherapy, Infection Control, transplant-trained 

nursing
staff, fellows and transplant coordinators, supported by Rainbow Children’s
Hospital’s dedicated Pediatric Liver Transplant Intensive Care Unit.

Rainbow
Children’s Hospital has established one of India’s leading pediatric liver transplant programmes, with centres in
Hyderabad, Chennai and Bengaluru together completing 107 pediatric liver
transplants with an overall survival of 95%. The programme brings together
advanced transplant surgery, pediatric hepatology, intensive care, nutrition,
infection management and rehabilitation, enabling even critically ill and medically
complex children to receive comprehensive care through one specialised
pediatric transplant team.

affiliating eligible institutions, monitoring academic standards, conducting
examinations and revising programmes to reflect evolving technological and
industry requirements.

Working alongside Dr. Naik, Soni examined
whether polytechnic institutes had incorporated the recommendations of NEP 2020
into their academic frameworks. The policy calls for a more multidisciplinary
approach to education, encouraging institutions to move beyond rigid
disciplinary boundaries and equip students with a broader range of intellectual
and practical skills. Her work involved understanding the relationship between
the policy’s recommendations and their implementation within technical
education. Rather than approaching the NEP solely as a national policy
document, Soni explored how its principles could inform curriculum development
and improve the educational experience of students enrolled in STEM-oriented
diploma programmes.

From Policy Analysis to a Recommendation
Accepted by the Government Body

A key aspect of Soni’s contribution was
helping formulate recommendations to strengthen the implementation of NEP 2020
in technical education. One recommendation she helped ideate was the
introduction of elective courses in the humanities for STEM students. The
proposal sought to broaden technical education beyond narrowly specialised
training by giving students opportunities to engage with disciplines outside
their principal fields of study.

Importantly, the recommendation was
endorsed and commended by the government body, especially Dr. Naik, marking a
tangible outcome of Soni’s engagement with the policymaking process. Rather
than remaining an academic exercise, her work contributed to a proposal that
received institutional acceptance. As a consequence, Soni was nominated and
selected as the only under 18 winner of the National Humanitarian Excellence
Award 2026, as one of 5 nominees from Maharashtra, the ceremony for which was
held in the 15th of August, 2026,

Through her engagement with the Government
of Maharashtra’s many institutions, she has explored how evidence-based
policymaking can address societal challenges and improve public welfare. Her
recognition underscores the importance of youth participation in shaping
policies that respond to the needs of communities across Maharashtra.

What does the future hold?

Soni has been invited by more government
bodies to be able to champion youth-led reform and policy recommendations. She
is excited to continue contributing to the field and making strides. ]]></description>

<title>From Statement Layers to Soft Pastels, Fresh Women’s Festive Trends to Explore at Myntra’s Big Fashion Festival</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 

Festive dressing for women is finding newness in the finer
details this season. Statement layers, softer necklines, heritage textiles
and a wider colour palette are adding fresh character to Indianwear across
Pujo, Navratri, Diwali and the upcoming wedding season. The edit comes as Myntra’s
Big Fashion Festival (BFF) is now live, bringing 8 million+ styles, 2X
the selection of the last edition, and 100+ new brands and collection launches across
fashion, beauty and lifestyle.

Here are some of the trends worth adding to the festive
moodboard.

Statement Chogas add an extra layer

The traditional Choga is stepping
into the spotlight as a versatile festive layer. Styled over salwars, dhoti
pants, straight trousers or palazzos, it can move easily between classic and
contemporary Indianwear and take a daytime look into the evening. Shoppers can
browse
women’s
kurta sets for more layering inspiration.

V-neck kurtas keep things easy

The V-neck
is bringing a softer, more relaxed attitude to festive kurtas and longer sets.
The shape works especially well for Diwali gatherings and intimate wedding
functions, where the mood calls for something polished yet easy to wear.
Festive options from Libas, Aurelia offer
more ways to work the silhouette into the season.

Heritage textiles take the lead

Bandhani,
Banarasi and tissue are putting
textile and technique back at the heart of festive dressing. Rather than
relying only on surface detail, these fabrics bring richness through weave,
texture and finish. A
Suta
saree or
Soch
tissue saree offers a textile-led route into occasion dressing.

Soft pastels move into the evening

Old rose, powder blue, butter yellow, blush and sage are no
longer limited to daytime celebrations. Paired with richer fabrics and dressier
finishes, these softer shades can hold their own at evening functions too.
Shoppers can explore women’s
ethnic wear to bring the season’s lighter palette into festive looks.

Jewel tones bring the drama

For evening dressing, emerald, deep ruby, wine, burgundy,
plum and midnight blue remain strong choices, while ivory, almond,
champagne and beige offer an elegant counterpoint. Shoppers can look to Ritu Kumar, KIMAYRA and KALKI Fashion for occasion-led
styles that bring these richer tones and refined neutrals into Diwali parties
and wedding celebrations.

Fabric becomes part of the look

Chanderi, organza, georgette, silk and handwoven surfaces
are giving festive styles their own character. Chanderi sarees bring
understated richness, organza sarees add
lightweight volume, while Jamdani sarees and Maheshwari sarees put
the focus on weave, texture and craftsmanship.

With millions of styles across thousands of popular
brands, BFF gives shoppers plenty of room to discover a festive look
through colour, textile and layering. Sometimes, a statement layer, a
softer shade or a beautifully woven fabric is all it takes to give the festive
wardrobe a fresh update. Myntra’s M-Now adds to the convenience with deliveries
starting in 30 minutes across 12 cities. With around 1.5 lakh styles from
1,500+ brands, shoppers can explore festive outfits, accessories and beauty
essentials to get celebration-ready, even at the last minute. ]]></description>

<title>71% Women Invest for Retirement, Yet Only 30% Expect Their Corpus to Last Beyond 10 Years: Axis Max Life’s Bharosa Talks IRIS 6.0</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/71-women-invest-for-retirement-yet-only-30-expect-their-corpus-to-last-beyond-10-years-axis-max-lifes-bharosa-talks-iris-60</link>

<description><![CDATA[ 

KEY HIGHLIGHTS:

●     
According
to Bharosa Talks India Retirement Index Study (IRIS) 6.0 women cohort recorded
a score of 49, at par with men, while their Financial Preparedness Index
improved from 50 in IRIS 5.0 to 52 in IRIS 6.0.

●     
71% of
women started investing for retirement, up from 65% in IRIS 5.0, outpacing the
increase among men from 68% to 70%. 45% aspire to achieve financial
independence and retire before 50, assuming their financial needs are
addressed. 

●     
Women claim
to have accumulated 26% of their target retirement corpus.

●     
Only 30%
of women expect their retirement corpus to last more than 10 years, down
from 40% in IRIS 5.0.

●     
50% of
women claim to hold FDs/RDs specifically for retirement, compared with 44% of men, while 27% claim to hold risk-based
retirement investments, such as mutual funds, ETFs, SIPs, stocks/shares or
commodities, compared with 34% of men.

New Delhi, 16th October, 2026 : Axis
Max Life Insurance Limited (“Axis Max Life” / “Company”) today unveiled the
women-specific findings of the sixth edition of its annual Bharosa Talks
India Retirement Index Study (IRIS 6.0), conducted in partnership with
Kantar. The findings point to stronger financial preparedness among women,
with claimed 50% investing in FDs/RDs specifically for retirement, compared
with 44% of men, alongside aspirations to achieve financial independence
earlier. However, the journey from financial intent to building a retirement
corpus that can sustain them over the long term remains substantial.

Women recorded an IRIS 6.0 score of 49, at par
with men. Their Financial Preparedness Index strengthened from 50 in IRIS 5.0
to 52 in IRIS 6.0, while Health Preparedness moderated marginally from 47 to 46
and Emotional Preparedness stood at 57 compared with 58 last year.

The improvement in financial preparedness is
reflected in greater action towards retirement. 71% of women have started
investing for retirement, up from 65% in IRIS 5.0, outpacing the increase among
men from 68% to 70%. Assuming their financial needs are addressed, 69% of
women aspire to retire before the traditional retirement age of 58–60 years,
including 45% who would like to achieve financial independence and retire
before the age of 50.

Sumit Madan, MD &amp; CEO, Axis Max Life
Insurance, said, 

“The findings of IRIS 6.0 highlight an
encouraging shift in how women are planning for retirement. More women than men
claimed investing in FDs/RDs specifically for retirement (50% versus 44%
respectively), while many are also aiming to achieve financial independence at
an earlier stage of life. Together, these trends reflect a growing sense of
ownership and agency over their long-term financial well-being.

At the same time, the findings underscore the
importance of turning intent into sustained action. Starting early, investing
consistently, and making informed financial decisions can help women build a
stronger retirement corpus, enhance their financial confidence, and ultimately
create the freedom to define retirement on their own terms.”

KEY FINDINGS FROM WOMEN COHORT – INDIA
RETIREMENT INDEX STUDY 6.0

Women take greater ownership of retirement
planning: Half of women believe retirement planning
should begin as soon as one starts earning, signalling an early recognition of
the need to plan for retirement. However, when asked about the ideal age to
actively start saving for retirement, women peg it at around 32 years, broadly
in line with 31 years among men.

Awareness of retirement requirements is also
strengthening: 62% of women know how
much money they will need to maintain their current lifestyle during
retirement, marginally ahead of men at 61%. Women’s awareness slightly
increased from 61% in IRIS 5.0, while the corresponding proportion among
men declined from 63% to 61%.

Corpus confidence remains a challenge as women
favour conservative investments: While
retirement participation is growing, corpus accumulation has further ground to
cover. Women report having accumulated 26% of their target retirement corpus on
average, marginally higher than 25% in IRIS 5.0 but below men at 28%. At the
same time, the proportion of women expecting their corpus to last more than 10
years declined from 40% to 30%, a sharper decline than among men, where it fell
from 36% to 30%.

Women also appear to take a relatively
conservative approach to retirement investing: 50% claim to have invested in FDs/RDs specifically for retirement,
compared with 44% of men, while 27% claim to hold risk-based financial products
for retirement, such as mutual funds, ETFs, SIPs, stocks/shares or commodities,
compared with 34% of men.

For women yet to begin investing for their
retirement, clarity remains a barrier: 23% say they do not know where to start or how much to save, compared
with 19% of men.

Women remain optimistic about healthy ageing: Despite the marginal moderation in their Health Preparedness Index,
77% of women believe they will remain fit an ]]></description>

Pune, October 15, 2026: Delhi Public School
Hinjawadi hosted the inaugural edition of MERAKI 2026 – Inter-School Performing
Arts Festival, bringing together nearly 400 student performers from 28 schools
and welcoming over 800 students, parents, educators and guests to the campus.

More than a competition, MERAKI was envisioned as a festival of
creativity, courage and possibilities. With 13 categories across Music, Dance
and Theatre, the festival provided young performers with diverse platforms to
express themselves, challenge their limits and experience the joy of
performing.

Adding immense value to the competition was an eminent panel of nine
renowned judges across the 13 categories, bringing professional experience and
perspective to every stage. Actor and theatre artist Prashant Singh also joined
MERAKI as a Special Guest and Judge, further enriching the experience for the
young performers.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Siddharth Rajgarhia, Chief Learner and
Director, DPS Hinjawadi, said, “MERAKI was created with the belief that every
child deserves a platform to discover their voice, embrace challenges and
experience the joy of creating and performing. The response to the inaugural
edition has been truly encouraging. What stood out was not just the talent on
stage, but the confidence, collaboration and spirit with which students
participated. We are delighted to have created an environment where young minds
could express themselves freely, learn from one another and celebrate the
performing arts. MERAKI is a beginning, and we look forward to nurturing it
into a larger platform that continues to inspire students to explore their
potential and believe in the possibilities within them.”

What truly distinguished MERAKI was the experience it created. The
feedback from parents, students, participating schools and judges was
overwhelmingly positive, with guests particularly appreciating the professional
conduct of the event, warm hospitality, vibrant environment, seamless
organisation and high standard of competition. With performances unfolding
across multiple venues, the campus carried the energy of a true performing arts
festival throughout the day.

At its heart, MERAKI reflected a simple philosophy: success is not
defined by a trophy alone. It begins with the courage to step forward, embrace
challenges and believe in what is possible.

The inaugural MERAKI concluded on a memorable high, setting the
foundation for a platform that aspires to grow bigger while continuing to
inspire young minds to think beyond boundaries and discover the unlimited
possibilities within themselves.

MERAKI 2026 was more than a competition—it was an experience, a
celebration and a stage for possibilities.

<title>Infertility Cases Rise 50% Over a Decade at BirthRight Fertility’s Guwahati Centre, Internal Data Show</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/infertility-cases-rise-50-over-a-decade-at-birthright-fertilitys-guwahati-centre-internal-data-show</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/infertility-cases-rise-50-over-a-decade-at-birthright-fertilitys-guwahati-centre-internal-data-show</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

Guwahati:  BirthRight
Fertility at Pratiksha Rainbow Children’s Hospital, Guwahati, has recorded a
50% rise in general infertility cases over the last decade (2015–2025),
according to the centre’s internal data. Female infertility cases increased by
35–40%, while male infertility cases rose by 25–30%. Cases involving PCOS and
endometriosis each grew by 15–20%, while obesity-related cases increased by 30–40%.
These figures reflect trends in patients seen at the Guwahati centre and do not
represent city-wide or regional estimates.

The trends highlight the
importance of timely evaluation and access to specialised fertility care for
couples trying to conceive. At BirthRight Fertility, the hospital-based setup
enables patients to access fertility treatment alongside gynaecology,
obstetrics, paediatrics, neonatology and emergency medical support under one
roof, providing continuity of care from fertility treatment through pregnancy
and delivery.

According to Dr
Diganta Deka, BirthRight Fertility,
Pratiksha Rainbow Hospital, Guwahati , fertility treatment requires more
than the IVF procedure itself. Access to specialist care, emergency support and
pregnancy monitoring can be important throughout the journey.

“Fertility treatment is a
continuous journey. When a fertility centre is part of a hospital, patients
have access to specialist and emergency care not only during IVF, but also after
conception, through pregnancy, delivery and newborn care. This continuity can
be particularly important when unexpected complications arise,” said Dr Deka.

Why hospital-based fertility care matters

During IVF,
ovarian stimulation helps develop multiple eggs. In some cases, women may
develop ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which can lead to fluid
accumulation in the body and require immediate medical attention. Complications
can also arise after conception. An ectopic pregnancy, in which the embryo
develops outside the uterus, can become a medical emergency if the fallopian
tube ruptures.

Being part of a hospital allows
BirthRight Fertility to provide access to emergency support alongside fertility
treatment.


Making fertility treatment more
accessible

Dr Deka, who has been associated
with fertility care in the region for more than two decades, recalls a time
when couples often travelled outside Assam for treatment. Awareness of IVF has
since grown, with more couples approaching fertility specialists to understand
their options.

Affordability remains an
important part of the centre&#039;s approach. BirthRight Fertility has followed a
policy of keeping treatment costs unchanged for five years, with revisions
thereafter. It has also developed an in-house team of embryologists and adopted
Indian-manufactured medical consumables to help manage treatment costs.

“Our objective is not just to
help couples achieve pregnancy, but to support them through the journey.
Fertility treatment, pregnancy, delivery and newborn care are connected stages,
and an integrated hospital setup allows us to provide support across these
stages,” Dr Deka added.

<description><![CDATA[  Cohort 12 begins January 2027. 

You have spent years mastering your
function or building your business. The next step is running the whole
enterprise. The IIT Bombay-Washington University in St. Louis Joint Degree
Executive MBA has extended its fourth admission round for Cohort 12 to October
18, giving senior working professionals and entrepreneurs more time to apply
for the January 2027 intake.

Offered jointly by the Shailesh J. Mehta
School of Management (SJMSOM) at IIT Bombay and Olin Business School at
Washington University in St. Louis, the 18-month program awards one joint
master degree from an Indian and an American university. It is modelled on
WashU&#039;s Executive MBA programs in the US and China.

A classroom of people who already lead

Your peers are senior executives, business
heads, founders and senior managers of managers from technology, manufacturing,
finance, consulting, healthcare, energy and consumer businesses. A CXO weighing
a strategic pivot sits next to a founder scaling a venture, and each sees the
same problem through a different industry &amp; experience lens. That
cross-sector exchange is a core part of the learning.

Who it&#039;s for


 CEOs, CIOs, CXOs, directors, presidents and vice presidents
 Business heads moving into broader leadership roles
 Entrepreneurs looking to expand their business 


Learn without leaving your business

Classes run four consecutive days each
month, Thursday to Sunday, so your career or company keeps moving.


 17 residential modules at the IIT
     Bombay campus, with dedicated classrooms and accommodation
 3 international modules in
     Washington, D.C., and St. Louis, including learning at the Brookings
     Institution, industry visits and time with WashU&#039;s other Executive MBA
     cohorts
     


A curriculum built for enterprise
decisions

The foundational core covers strategy, corporate
finance, strategic marketing, financial accounting, operations, managerial
economics, data-driven decision-making, start-up consulting and negotiation.
The advanced core moves into leadership, power and influence in organisations,
competitive strategy, valuation and sustainability, market analytics,
innovation management and global supply chain management. Faculty from both
institutions bring current research to real business problems.

Business Startup Consulting Project:
Where Learning Becomes Impact

Working in cross-functional teams,
participants take on live engagements with actual clients, applying the full
breadth of their EMBA learning and executive experience to deliver measurable,
tangible outcomes. They develop core consulting competencies such as critical
thinking, data analysis, project management and executive communication, while
cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset and agile leadership in dynamic,
unfamiliar settings. 

Dinesh Sharma, Professor-in-charge, IIT
Bombay-WashU Joint EMBA Program said “Our vision is bold and clear to shape
transition-ready leaders who can navigate uncertainty with clarity and
transform challenges into opportunities. Through our collaboration with
Washington University in St. Louis, we bring world-class faculty, global
perspectives, and cutting-edge research into one powerful learning ecosystem at
IIT Bombay. We’re not just building leaders, we’re nurturing innovators,
collaborators, and ethical leaders who will architect tomorrow’s solution and
create a positive, lasting impact on the world.”

Apply by October 18, 2026

If you are ready to build the strategic and
leadership depth for your next role or venture, Cohort 12 is still open.
Admissions follow the program&#039;s selection process.

<description><![CDATA[  

●      The platform has seen over 1 million sign-ups within a month of its
affiliate rollout on Instagram, an early signal of how creators are using
the channel to drive fashion discovery and commerce

●      The announcement coincides with Myntra Creator Club’s New Delhi
chapter, co-hosted with Meta, bringing together top creators, including Tripti
Dimri, Shalini Passi, Komal Pandey, Siddharth Batra, Kritika Khurana, Deeksha
Khurana and Nitibha Kaul 

●      Creators across affiliate platforms, including Instagram, stand to earn
3X more through Myntra’s Big Fashion Festival (BFF) this festive season
 

New Delhi, 15 October 2026: Myntra today announced the full rollout of its affiliate commerce
programme on Instagram, becoming the first lifestyle e-commerce platform in
India to do so in partnership with Meta; enabling creators to tag Myntra
products directly within their posts and Reels. This marks the next phase of
Myntra’s creator-commerce journey with Meta, following the Facebook integration
that went live in June under the Flipkart Group’s partnership with the
platform. Myntra has seen over 1 million sign-ups on Instagram in just a month
with 200K creators having created content already. Combined with 1.3 million
signups with 650k+ active creators on Facebook, this gives an early read on how
quickly creators are adopting the format to connect with their audience and
turn content into commerce.

Since launching its Meta affiliate feature
across Instagram and Facebook, our community has created ~3 million posts and
now drives notable traffic to the platform.

With the festive season underway, the company
expects an increase in traffic on the app with a 2X increase in creator posts.
Additionally, Myntra creators across affiliate platforms, including Instagram,
YouTube and Facebook, Myntra Ultimate GlamClan Affiliate stand to earn 3X more
through Myntra’s Big Fashion Festival (BFF); reinforcing the brand’s push to
make creator-led, discovery-driven shopping central to how India shops fashion
online.

The announcement coincides with the New Delhi
chapter of Myntra Creator Club, co-hosted by Meta, which brought together some
of the country’s most prominent creators. The evening reflects Myntra’s
continued focus on deepening its relationship with creators as the brand scales
its creator-commerce ecosystem further.

Across Myntra app, 7 million users engage with
Myntra Glamstream - its one-of-a-kind shoppable content destination spending
200,000 hours on the app, with Gen Z contributing 52% of total views, a signal
of how significantly creator-led content has shifted from a discovery tool to a
primary commerce driver.

Myntra’s Creator Club is an invite-only event
series that brings together creator voices across cities to foster
conversations and collaborations. Through Ultimate Glam Clan, affiliate
programmes, creator storefronts, curated collections, and shoppable
recommendations, Myntra enables creators to build communities, amplify their
recommendations, and monetise their influence.

Lakshminarayan Swaminathan, SVP &amp; Chief
Product Officer, Myntra, said, “Our
affiliate programme which is now live on Instagram is a significant step in
making creator-commerce seamless. It gives creators a direct, hassle-free way
to monetise their influence, while offering fashion-forward shoppers an
effortless path from discovery to checkout. As we bring this to our creators at
the right time for the festive season - this milestone  reflects how integral the creator community
is to Myntra’s long-term growth journey.”

“Meghna Apparao, Director, E-Commerce &amp;
Retail (India), Meta, said, “The way
people shop is constantly evolving, with creators now playing an increasingly
pivotal role in moving consumers from inspiration to action. By bringing
affiliate partnership to Instagram, Myntra is making that journey more
seamless, while giving creators new ways to turn their influence into
opportunity. The early momentum we’re seeing underscores the potential of
creator-led commerce in India, and we’re excited to see this take off as brands
and creators gear up for the festive season.

<title>Enterprise Authentication Infrastructure: More Than Just OTP Delivery</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/enterprise-authentication-infrastructure-more-than-just-otp-delivery</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/enterprise-authentication-infrastructure-more-than-just-otp-delivery</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

VeUp Technologies introduces VeAuth, an
authentication engine built to treat OTP delivery as mission-critical
infrastructure rather than a single SMS transaction.

Every digital account opening, every
payment authorization, every login to a banking app begins with the same small,
largely invisible transaction: a one-time password sent, received, and verified
within seconds. It has become the default trust mechanism of digital India —
and, increasingly, its most exposed point of failure. When an OTP arrives late,
arrives never, or arrives after a fraudster has already intercepted a
customer&#039;s SIM, the cost is rarely small. It shows up as an abandoned
onboarding flow, a failed payment, a regulatory incident, or a customer who no
longer trusts the app.

VeUp Technologies, a Bengaluru-based
enterprise communication infrastructure provider, is addressing that exposure
with the introduction of VeAuth, an enterprise OTP authentication
engine designed to manage the full lifecycle of authentication — not merely to
send a message and hope it arrives.

Digital Identity Has Outgrown Simple OTP
Delivery

The scale of digital identity verification
in India has changed the nature of the problem. Banks, NBFCs, insurers, and
e-commerce platforms now authenticate customers dozens of times across a single
relationship — at onboarding, at login, at every payment, at every policy
change. Each of those moments depends on an OTP arriving quickly and correctly,
through a chain of telecom operators, aggregators, and gateways that was never
designed with authentication-grade reliability as its primary goal.

This dependency has produced a familiar set
of enterprise pain points. Authentication failures during onboarding directly
translate into drop-off — a prospective customer who cannot complete KYC in one
sitting is a customer an institution may never recover. Delivery inconsistency
varies by circle, operator, and time of day, meaning the same OTP
infrastructure that works reliably in one region underperforms in another.
Fraud risk compounds the problem: SIM swap attacks, in particular, have turned
the OTP itself into an attack surface, where compromising a customer&#039;s phone
number can be enough to bypass what institutions treat as a strong
authentication factor. And compliance requirements across BFSI and healthcare
demand audit trails and delivery evidence that a simple send-and-forget SMS
gateway was never built to provide.

The result is that OTP has quietly become a
single point of failure sitting underneath some of the most sensitive
transactions an enterprise handles — while being managed, in many
organizations, with far less rigor than the systems it protects.

From Message Delivery to Authentication
Infrastructure

VeUp&#039;s central argument behind VeAuth is a
reframing: OTP delivery is not a messaging problem to be solved once and left
alone — it is an infrastructure problem that requires the same discipline
applied to core banking or payment systems.

That distinction shapes VeAuth&#039;s design.
Rather than functioning as a single OTP gateway with one delivery path, VeAuth
manages the entire OTP lifecycle — generation, intelligent routing, delivery,
verification, expiry, and retry — as a coordinated process, with visibility at
every stage rather than only at the point of dispatch.

Inside VeAuth: Architecture Built for
Reliability and Security

OTP lifecycle management. VeAuth treats each OTP as a tracked transaction from generation
through expiry, rather than a fire-and-forget message, allowing enterprises to
see exactly where in the process a failure occurred when one does.

Intelligent routing and delivery
optimization. OTPs are routed dynamically across
channels and providers based on live delivery performance by region and
operator, rather than a fixed, pre-configured path that degrades silently when
conditions change.

Security architecture. Authentication traffic is handled with security controls
appropriate to its sensitivity — encryption in transit, expiry enforcement, and
safeguards designed to reduce exposure to interception and replay, addressing
the reality that OTPs are now a direct target for fraud rather than a neutral
utility.

Enterprise scalability and high delivery
success. Built to sustain high-volume authentication
traffic during peak periods — a bank&#039;s month-end payment cycle, an insurer&#039;s
renewal season, an e-commerce platform&#039;s sale-day login surge — without the
delivery degradation that strains single-vendor gateways under load.

An Industry Perspective: Authentication
as Mission-Critical Infrastructure

The stakes vary by sector, but the
underlying pattern is consistent. A bank cannot afford OTP failure at the
moment of a high-value transfer. An NBFC processing loan disbursements needs
authentication that holds up during month-end volume spikes. An insurer
verifying identity during a claims process is handling a moment of genuine
customer stress, where a failed OTP compounds an already difficult inte ]]></description>

Ninja’s
iconic CREAMi lets consumers make everything from high-protein and lower-sugar
ice creams to indulgent frozen desserts at home

BENGALURU,
INDIA (15 October 2026) : SharkNinja APAC today announced the India
launch of the Ninja CREAMi™ 7-in-1 Ice Cream &amp; Frozen Treat Maker,
bringing one of Ninja’s most viral global products to Indian consumers.

Turns
anything into ice cream. That simple idea has made Ninja CREAMi a global
phenomenon, particularly among fitness enthusiasts making high-protein,
low-sugar and personalised ice creams. The product has inspired millions of
recipes and social conversations globally, with consumers experimenting with
everything from protein shakes and fruit to chocolate, coffee and desserts.

Indian
consumers had been asking for CREAMi across Ninja’s social channels ahead of
its official arrival. The product also saw unprecedented demand during its
limited pre-launch window in India, being restocked multiple times.

Unlike
traditional ice cream makers, CREAMi starts with a frozen base made using
ingredients of the consumer’s choice. Its CREAMify™ Technology then
transforms the frozen base into smooth, creamy ice cream and frozen desserts in
minutes.

This
means consumers can make ice cream completely their way, whether that is a
high-protein chocolate ice cream after a workout, a low-sugar mango ice cream
for a diabetic, a dairy-free dessert or an indulgent treat. Indian favourites
such as tender coconut, kesar-pista, filter coffee, chai, mango and
sitaphal can also easily become CREAMi creations.

Mrunmay
Mehta, MD &amp; Country Head – India, SharkNinja APAC, said:
‘Ninja CREAMi is one of the products Indian
consumers have been asking us to bring to the market. Its appeal is simple: it
gives people the freedom to make ice cream exactly the way they want it. From
high-protein and low-sugar recipes to completely indulgent desserts and Indian
flavours, the possibilities are endless. We are excited to finally bring one of
Ninja’s most iconic global products to India.’

Ninja
CREAMi offers seven one-touch programs including Ice Cream, Light Ice
Cream, Gelato, Sorbet, Smoothie Bowl, Milkshake and Mix-in. The Mix-in program
allows consumers to add ingredients such as chocolate, nuts, fruit or brownie
pieces, while Re-spin can be used to further adjust the texture.

The
Ninja CREAMi™ 7-in-1 Ice Cream &amp; Frozen Treat Maker is priced at an MRP
of ₹34,999 and is available across Amazon, Flipkart, SharkNinja website,
Chroma, Vijay Sales and Reliance Digital.

<title>Mayavé Jewellery Opens 5 Stores in 45 Days, Expands Across Delhi NCR</title>

<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/mayave-jewellery-opens-5-stores-in-45-days-expands-across-delhi-ncr</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

New Delhi, 15 October 2026 : Luxury lab-grown diamond jewellery brand Mayavé - from the house
of Dholakia, has expanded its retail presence across Delhi NCR with five stores
in Noida, Ghaziabad, Netaji Subhash place, Gurugram and Dwarka.

Each of the five stores embody a refined
aesthetic, blending the brand’s signature colours with sleek chrome accents.
Distinctive design elements such as avant-garde wall displays, private lounges,
signature gifting bays and solid-matte chrome billing counters create a
luxurious yet contemporary retail experience.

Built on three decades of experience in the
diamond industry by the Hari Krishna Group, Mayavé’s proposition is centred on
its design-differentiated width, offering an unparalleled range of 40 Signature
Cuts. The focus on distinctive shapes and contemporary designs speak of a
design language that speaks to the woman of today who possesses a discerning
taste. The brand’s jewellery collections include Blume, Birds of Glory,
Seamless Symphony, Timeless, Wings of Freedom, Sakura, Reflection for women and
Valor for Men. The collections are designed in Italy by Massimiliano Bonoli and
crafted in India, with the jewellery featuring IGI-certified lab-grown
diamonds.

The brand’s retail format has been designed
around the way consumers increasingly approach high-consideration jewellery
purchases. The central island table serves as the first point of interaction,
with the Timeless collection, followed by statement pieces and the High
Jewellery Lounge. The stores also offer specialty coffee and artisanal cookies
for its clients and builds an experience in jewellery retail.  

Commenting on the expansion, Dravya
Dholakia, Founder and CEO, Mayavé, said, “Jewellery
retail is moving beyond the traditional product-led format. As consumers become
more aware of design, craftsmanship and the choices available to them, the
retail experience becomes an important part of the purchase. At Mayavé, we have
approached our stores as an extension of the product itself. We want customers
to have the time and space to understand different designs and cuts and make a
considered choice. Our three decades of experience in diamonds give us the
technical foundation, while our focus on design and experience shapes how we
take that expertise to the consumer.”

Mayavé’s jewellery starts at approximately
₹25,000, with a significant part of the range priced up to ₹3 lakh. The brand
also incorporates sustainability practices across its operations, including
solar-powered manufacturing, water recycling and the use of recycled gold.

Through its five-store Delhi NCR presence,
Mayavé aims to build a retail format that brings together distinctive design,
craftsmanship and a more contemporary approach to the jewellery buying
experience.

<title>Game On, Dwarka! Masti Zone Opens at Pacific D21 Mall</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/game-on-dwarka-masti-zone-opens-at-pacific-d21-mall</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/game-on-dwarka-masti-zone-opens-at-pacific-d21-mall</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Some outings deserve a little friendly
rivalry. A score to chase, a challenge accepted, and a friend who is suddenly
very serious about winning — Dwarka, it is time to get your game face on! Masti
Zone has opened at Pacific D21 Mall, New Delhi, bringing arcade games, bumper
cars, kids’ play and virtual reality experiences to the neighbourhood.

The Modern Group-owned indoor amusement
brand brings with it plenty of reasons to stretch that mall visit a little
longer. For families stepping out together and friends looking for something to
do beyond their usual plans, the new outlet makes room for an afternoon of
games, cheerful competition and the occasional demand for a rematch. You are
invited to come with your favourite gaming companion, or perhaps find out who
in your family has been keeping their competitive streak under wraps.

Arcade enthusiasts can get straight to
chasing scores, while those curious about virtual reality can try their hand at
a different kind of gaming experience. Then there are the bumper cars, where
your best mate may become your favourite person to chase. Pick your car,
prepare for a few unexpected turns, and try keeping a straight face through it
all. The younger visitors have a kids’ play area to explore, giving families a
choice of activities when everyone arrives with a different idea of fun.

Much of the excitement of an outing like
this lies in the company you bring. There is the friend who explains the game
to everyone before losing the first round, the sibling who refuses to leave
without another attempt, and the parent whose enthusiasm catches the children
by surprise. At Masti Zone, these familiar characters have a new place to put
their gaming skills to the test. Spectators, be warned: you may find yourself
joining in sooner than planned!

With its Pacific D21 Mall opening, Masti
Zone continues to grow its presence in the NCR. Located at Dwarka Sector 21
Metro Station, the outlet gives visitors a convenient stop for indoor amusement,
whether gaming is the main plan or a spontaneous addition to a day out.

So, Dwarka, assemble your little crew and
bring along that friend whose winning streak needs investigating. The shopping
can have its turn; there are games waiting for yours. Masti Zone at Pacific D21
Mall is now open — let the friendly battles begin!

Address:
Pacific Mall, Dwarka Sector 21 Metro Station, Dwarka, New Delhi – 110075.

<description><![CDATA[  

New
Delhi, 14 October 2026: Home Centre, India’s most preferred home
destination, has unveiled its festive campaign, Decked For Diwali,
inviting consumers to create the most memorable Diwali homes that with décor,
hosting and warm hospitality will Steal the show this festive. 

Home
Centre unveils its Diwali collection, with Chef Ranveer Brar joining the
celebrations

Taking
the celebrations closer to consumers, Chef Ranveer Brar and Home Centre CEO
Jayanti Ganguly came together for a special Diwali experience – ‘The Great
India Gourmet Table’ on 10th October at its Sky City Mall,
Borivali store in Mumbai, bringing together food, festive inspiration and
the joy of hosting. The celebration will be followed by events at DLF Mall
of India, Noida on 17th October and Pacific Mall, Khayala
on 31st  October in Delhi
NCR.

At
the heart of this Campaign is the Diwali collection specially designed
and crafted for the festival. With over 1000+ product that have arrived in
stores and homecentre.com for Diwali, the collection offers an eclectic range
across décor, soft furnishing, kitchen, serve ware, crockery, gifts and
furniture. Leading the festive edit is Garnet, a rich and expressive
collection that imagines royal luxury through a distinctly festive lens,
pairing deep wine tones with brushed gold and refined neutrals. Inara
and Moksha collection, bring two different festive mood-boards for the
season, giving consumers the freedom to experiment with colour, texture and
detail and create a festive home that feels distinctly their own. The
Diwali collection starts at Rs 199.

Speaking about the Diwali collection, Jayanti Ganguly, CEO - Home
Centre India, said: “Diwali has always been as much about our homes as
it is about the people who fill them. We dress up for the occasion, and we love
dressing up our homes too — refreshing our favourite corners, setting a
beautiful table, and making everything feel special for family and friends.

That’s really the thought behind Decked for Diwali. We want to inspire
people to celebrate their homes, express their own personal style, and enjoy
the little moments that make this festival so special.

What I particularly love about our collection this year is the sheer
choice and variety. From beautiful festive décor and furnishings to everything
you need to cook, serve and host, we have brought together over 1,000 products,
with something for every home and every style of celebration. Ultimately, we
want to make it easier for people to create beautiful homes, host with joy and
make wonderful memories together.”


The festive story extends into the kitchen and dining spaces through Home
Centre’s campaign The Social Kitchen, featuring Celebrity Chef Ranveer
Brar. While Decked For Diwali celebrates the joy of transforming and dressing
up the entire home, The Social Kitchen celebrates food, hosting and the kitchen
and dining table as spaces that bring people together. The festive celebrations
extend to the heart of every gathering - the kitchen. Through The Social
Kitchen, featuring celebrated chef Ranveer Brar, Home Centre brings alive a
familiar moment from Indian homes: the host who spends so much time preparing,
cooking and making everything special for their guests that they are often the
last to enjoy the celebration.

Through
entertaining content, practical tips and festive inspiration, the campaign aims
to make cooking, serving and hosting simpler, more beautiful and enjoyable — so
that the host can be as much a part of the celebration as everyone else.

Speaking
about The Social Kitchen, Chef Ranveer Brar said: “The festive celebrations
extend to the heart of every gathering — the kitchen. Through The Social
Kitchen, Home Centre brings alive a familiar moment from Indian homes: the host
who spends so much time preparing, cooking and making everything special for
their guests that they are often the last to enjoy the celebration. The Social
Kitchen range makes the whole process from &#039;prep, cook, host to store&#039;
organised and easy, making hosting a further enjoyable experience.”

Highlights
of Decked For Diwali Collection:

●       
Garnet Collection: Garnet reimagines royal
luxury through a distinctly festive lens, pairing deep wine tones with brushed
gold and refined neutrals. Opulent yet delicate, the collection brings a
graceful, contemporary expression to festive grandeur.

●     
Inara Collection: Inspired
by the luminous beauty of pearls, Inara blends soft silhouettes and
champagne accents with subtle blue-green hues. Quietly bold yet beautifully
restrained, the collection captures a sophisticated balance of softness and
strength.

●     
Whole-Home Festive Inspiration:
From living and dining to entertaining spaces, the campaign encourages
consumers to dress the entire home for celebration. Home Centre is
collaborating with multiple content creators and supper clubs to create content
&amp; different takes on Diwali Celebrations, décor and hosting  with Home Centre’s new colle ]]></description>

<title>From Relaxed Kurtas to Statement Jackets, 7 Festive Menswear Trends to Shop at Myntra’s BFF</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 

Festive menswear is getting sharper this
season, with cleaner kurtas, fresher proportions, refined detailing and smarter
layers shaping the occasion wardrobe. Shorter hems are meeting wider trousers,
tonal dressing is gaining ground, and traditional silhouettes are being
refreshed through cut and construction. As Myntra’s Big Fashion Festival (BFF)
is live now, shoppers can explore 8 million+ styles, 2X the selection of the
last edition, and 100+ new brands and collection launches across fashion,
beauty and lifestyle.

Shorter kurtas change the proportions

Short kurtas paired with bootcut, flared or
wider trousers are giving festive dressing a younger profile, while relaxed
salwars offer an easy alternative to fitted churidars. Shoppers can browse Jompers, VASTRAMAY and men’s kurta sets to explore
the silhouette.

The clean kurta gets elevated

Solid colours and tonal palettes are putting
the focus on fabric, cut and finish rather than heavy detailing. The result is
an easy festive base that can move from a family gathering to a Diwali dinner.
Shoppers can explore Tasva, Diwas by Manyavar and men’s kurtas.

Festive shine gets more considered

Mirrorwork and sequins are appearing
through smaller motifs, tonal applications and threadwork, bringing texture
without overwhelming the outfit. Shoppers looking for dressier occasionwear can
explore SOJANYA and RANGRAAG

Indo-Western layers get sharper

Asymmetric hems, angled plackets and
open-front jackets are adding more character to festive layering. House of Pataudi, Raymond Ethnix and bandhgalas
offer options for celebrations that call for a more structured look.

Tonal dressing brings polish

Coordinated kurta-and-dupatta combinations
are giving monochrome a festive update. Staying within one colour family allows
texture, borders and embroidery to create interest. Fabindia offers another route into
understated festive dressing, while shoppers can also browse men’s kurta sets.

Achkans get sharper

The achkan remains a strong choice for
formal festive dressing, with clean tailoring, understated embroidery and
statement buttons giving it a contemporary update. Rich fabrics retain the
occasion feel, while streamlined cuts keep the silhouette sharp. Shoppers can
browse achkans for men for weddings
and dressier festive celebrations.

Rich fabrics and deeper colours set the
mood

Brocade, silk, velvet, Chanderi and
textured silk bring richness through fabric, while emerald, wine, burgundy,
plum and midnight blue work well for evening celebrations. Ivory, almond,
champagne and beige offer a softer counterpoint. Shoppers can explore men’s ethnic jackets and dhoti pants for men, along
with festive styles from VASTRAMAY and DEYANN.

With millions of styles across thousands of
popular brands, BFF gives men plenty of ways to experiment with proportion,
texture, colour and layering, from a clean kurta and tonal set to a statement
jacket or contemporary achkan. Myntra’s M-Now adds to the convenience with
deliveries starting in 30 minutes across 12 cities. With around 1.5 lakh styles
from 1,500+ brands, shoppers can explore festive outfits, accessories and
beauty essentials to get celebration-ready, even at the last minute. ]]></description>

<title>Casekaro Expands Its iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max Collection With New Back Cover Designs</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/casekaro-expands-its-iphone-18-pro-and-iphone-18-pro-max-collection-with-new-back-cover-designs</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/casekaro-expands-its-iphone-18-pro-and-iphone-18-pro-max-collection-with-new-back-cover-designs</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

Mumbai,
India : Casekaro has expanded its smartphone accessories catalogue with a new
collection of cases and back covers designed for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone
18 Pro Max. The new range focuses on something that has become increasingly
important to smartphone users: protecting a premium phone without making it
look ordinary.

Instead
of limiting customers to a few conventional case styles, Casekaro&#039;s latest
collection brings together a wide range of patterns, artwork and finishes. From
minimal and aesthetic designs to bold prints and expressive artwork, the
collection is aimed at users who want their phone case to feel more personal.

The
launch comes as phone cases continue to move beyond their traditional role as
basic protection. For many smartphone owners, a case has become part of the
overall look of the device, much like a watch strap, wallet or pair of
sneakers.

A Wider Choice for
iPhone 18 Pro Max Users

The
new iPhone 18 Pro Max Back Cover collection currently features
hundreds of designs, giving customers plenty of options to match different
tastes and personalities.

Some
of the designs include Dark Koi, Pink Aura, Folk Print, Boho Noir and Vinyl
Stripes. The collection also covers different visual categories, including
artwork, anime-inspired designs, animals, cartoons, nature, patterns, quotes,
sports, superheroes and more.

This
variety is particularly useful for users who do not want a standard transparent
or plain-coloured case. Someone looking for an understated design can choose a
minimal pattern, while users who prefer something more expressive can explore
illustrated, artistic or pop-culture-inspired options.

The
cases are also available across different case types, giving shoppers the opportunity
to choose based on both appearance and their preferred style of protection.

iPhone 18 Pro Gets Its
Own Collection

Casekaro
has also created a dedicated range for the smaller Pro model. The iPhone 18 Pro Back Cover collection is designed specifically
for users looking for cases made for the iPhone 18 Pro rather than relying on a
one-size-fits-all option.

This
distinction matters because smartphone models can have differences in
dimensions, camera layouts and button positioning. Choosing a case designed for
the exact phone model helps ensure that the camera cut-outs and overall fit are
appropriate.

For
customers purchasing online, Casekaro recommends selecting the exact phone
model and variant before placing an order.

The Clear Case
Problem: Yellowing

Transparent
cases remain popular because they allow users to show the original colour and
design of their iPhone while adding a layer of protection. However, one common
complaint with clear cases is yellowing over time.

To
address this preference, Casekaro also offers an anti yellow phone case collection for iPhone users looking
for a clearer, more understated case option.

The
anti-yellow range is particularly relevant for people who like the original
appearance of their phone and do not want a heavily printed design. It provides
an alternative for users who prefer a clean, transparent look while still
wanting a dedicated case.

More Than Just
Protection

The
latest Casekaro collection reflects a broader change in how consumers choose
smartphone accessories. Protection remains important, but appearance,
individuality and personal style are increasingly part of the decision.

Rather
than buying the first case available, smartphone owners are now looking for
designs that suit their personality and everyday style. This is especially
relevant for premium smartphones, where users often want to preserve the
original look of the device instead of completely covering it with a generic
case.

Casekaro&#039;s
expanded iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max range brings these preferences
together in one collection, offering everything from artistic and colourful
designs to simple clear cases.

With
hundreds of designs available for the new iPhone models, the collection gives
customers more freedom to choose how they want their phone to look while
keeping it protected for everyday use.

As
the iPhone 18 generation becomes more widely adopted, the demand for cases that
combine design, personalisation and everyday protection is likely to grow.
Casekaro&#039;s latest collection is positioned to give users more choices from the
moment they start looking for a new case. ]]></description>

<title>The Growing Role of Metabolic Surgery in Managing Obesity&#45;Related Health Problems, Explained by Dr. Amit Sood</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/the-growing-role-of-metabolic-surgery-in-managing-obesity-related-health-problems-explained-by-dr-amit-sood</link>

<description><![CDATA[ 

Obesity is a complication of metabolic and
hormonal factors that lead to weight gain. It can be hereditary or happen due
to ignorance about health. Lifestyle modifications such as proper diet,
exercise, and weight reduction are the initial strategy to naturally treat
obesity; however, these methods aren&#039;t always effective when there is extreme
weight gain due to metabolic syndrome. Obesity is also referred to as a health
condition rather than a lifestyle problem. Obesity is associated with other
health issues and diseases either directly or indirectly, like diabetes, high
blood pressure, fatty liver, sleep apnea, nerve pain, abdominal pain, hormonal
imbalance, and others.

“A nationwide ICMR-INDIAB survey published
in The Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology found that generalized obesity affects
28.6 percent and abdominal obesity 39.5 percent of the Indian population,
alongside a diabetes prevalence of 11.4 percent.”

However, modern science has developed the
latest technologies and tools that help significantly in altering the
gastrointestinal anatomy, which helps in rewriting the hormonal system. There
are also other surgical methods, which are commonly known as weight loss
surgery/bariatric surgery, gastric bypasses, sleeve gastrectomy, and metabolic
surgery, which are among the most effective ways to reduce body fat by 50-80
percent. A deep insight from Dr. Amit Sood, the founder of Ckosmic Health City
and the Best
Weight Loss Surgeon In Jalandhar with 20+ years of experience, highlighted
that the surgical procedure goes beyond just weight reduction, as it
significantly improves metabolic health, which serves as a powerful health
restorative tool that drastically enhances overall life expectancy and physical
well-being

Why Metabolic Surgery Is Gaining
Attention

The first-line treatments consist of
medication, a healthy, balanced diet, and physical activity, which will always
remain the same. Sometimes first-line treatment fails to show visible weight
loss, at which point the doctor may recommend bariatric surgery, also known as
metabolic surgery.

Metabolic surgery is gaining a lot of
attention, and more patients now look for the best bariatric surgeon. In
Jalandhar because it offers a long-term, highly effective solution for
metabolic disorders, high blood pressure, fatty liver, sleep apnea, nerve pain,
abdominal issues, and hormonal imbalances. Before, it was only seen as a way to
enhance beauty features by reducing body fat, but nowadays it is a meticulous
way to get rid of chronic lifestyle diseases.

How Metabolic Surgery Helps Beyond
Weight Loss

Metabolic surgery is not just a surgery for
weight loss. It is a life-changing decision for many patients and also a road
to a healthier life. It completely changes the working of gut hormones,
improves insulin sensitivity, and rapidly restores normal blood glucose levels.
It also eliminates the root cause of metabolic disorders if the treatment plan
is followed as prescribed.

“According to the STAMPEDE trial published
in the New England Journal of Medicine, five-year results show that
metabolic surgery leads to lasting blood sugar control, continued weight loss,
and reduced cardiovascular burden. Over five years, intensive surgery
significantly lowered the need for diabetes medications, with insulin
dependency dropping from 47% to 12% after gastric bypass and from 45% to 11%
after sleeve gastrectomy.”

Do you need surgery? What to look for

It isn&#039;t for everyone: depending on the
results, some patients may be able to achieve better results just with a good
diet, good exercise, lifestyle changes, and medication; on the other hand, some
will not get the same results. An individual&#039;s medical history affects the
ability to undergo metabolic surgery; they may have diabetes, high blood
pressure, hormonal issues, and issues with their gut.

Surgery has to be the last step if the
first- and second-line treatments don&#039;t work, and it can have side effects when
the body isn&#039;t ready for it. It&#039;s crucial to leave the decision to the doctor.

The Importance of an Experienced Surgeon

Metabolic surgery is a full program of
treatment. This includes assessment and decision-making prior to the operation,
the operation itself, safety monitoring immediately after surgery, and
long-term, multidisciplinary follow-up. The outcome of your operation depends
greatly on your surgeon&#039;s skills and experience.

Dr. Amit Sood is a famous bariatric surgeon
who specializes in scarless, minimal access, laparoscopic, and bariatric
surgery. Minimal access surgery is a type of surgery that uses smaller cuts on
the body. A small cut means less pain, early recovery &amp; a faster return to
work.

The Road to a Better You

Surgery is just a new beginning or a road
to a better you. Aftercare is a must to ensure the lifelong journey and success
of the surgery by following strict daily activities. Regular workouts, a
nutritious diet, supplements, the correct amount of medication, regular
checkups, ]]></description>

The collection is built around the significance of 33, Hardik’s iconic jersey
number, and marks the beginning of an exciting new journey for both Hardik and
SG.

Made
in India, for India, with Hardik in the room

Known
for a wardrobe as considered as his game, Hardik didn’t lend his name to this
collection, he shaped it. His brief was simple- make something in India, for
India, that he would wear himself and be proud to share with others. He was
involved at every stage, from silhouettes and colourways to fit, finish and
on-field feel. The result is a range that moves easily from the nets to the
street, with his taste for clean lines, bold detailing and statement pieces
running through it.
The 333 Collectable: a signature shoe in a global run of 333 pairs

The centrepiece of the launch is the Hardik Pandya Signature Collectable,
i.e. HP33 PRIVEE and HP33 CITY, a numbered edition limited to just 333 pieces,
a nod to the number he has made his own. Priced at a premium Rs. 20000 and Rs.
25000, each pair is built using Vibram® Megagrip lug outsole from the renowned
Italian sole specialist, engineered for reliable grip, durability, and multi-terrain
support.

Hardik Pandya:

“I’ve always believed that what you
wear and what you play with should say something about who you are. With BORN
TO BE ३३,
I wanted to build something from the ground up, not just put my name on it. We
had a lot of brainstorming with the SG design team on fit, finish, colours and
feel, and on what the brand should stand for. We were very clear, even though
we import the technology, the product has to be stitched in India, it has to be
made in India, built to perform, and with a bit of attitude.

Every piece is something I’d wear myself. The collectable signature shoes are
special to me because they’re limited, numbered and made for the people who’ve
backed me all these years. The collection also has pieces for everyone, because
I want fans to be part of this.”

Something
for every fan

BORN TO BE ३३ is priced to be accessible as well as aspirational, with the
collection ranging from under ₹1,000 to ₹12000 so fans can own a piece of the
launch whether it is an everyday essential or the collector’s edition.
A shared pursuit of excellence

With a legacy dating back to 1931, SG has built its reputation on
craftsmanship, quality and continuous evolution. SG has created a legacy of ten
years of successful partnership with Hardik Pandya on the cricket field, which
now extends into footwear and apparel, applying SG’s product expertise and its
understanding of Hardik’s game to new categories.

Paras Anand, CEO, Sanspareils Greenlands (SG):

“Hardik and SG have a relationship dating back to a decade on the field, and
we’ve learned a lot about how he plays, what he needs from his gear and what he
stands for. Moving into footwear and apparel was the natural next step, and we
were ready for it. BORN TO BE ३३ is what happens when a brand with a legacy since 1931 and an
athlete with a clear point of view work as true partners. Hardik brought real
ideas and a sharp eye to every category, and our teams matched that with
craftsmanship and technology. This is the start of a much bigger journey
together.”

Availability

The first drop is now open for pre-booking on the SG website and the District
app. Given the 333-piece limit on the signature collectable, early pre-booking
is advised.

BORN TO BE ३३.

<title>HARTING Joins NVIDIA MGX Ecosystem to Power Next&#45;Generation AI Infrastructure</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/harting-joins-nvidia-mgx-ecosystem-to-power-next-generation-ai-infrastructure</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/harting-joins-nvidia-mgx-ecosystem-to-power-next-generation-ai-infrastructure</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

Chennai ,13th  October , 2026 : HARTING Technology Group, a
leading global provider of industrial connectivity, today announced it has
joined the NVIDIA MGX ecosystem as a power system component provider for the
NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 platform.

Industrial connectivity
leader introduces NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 solutions, supporting the evolution
of 800 VDC AI data centre power architecture.

HARTING delivers power
whip solutions – cable assemblies that distribute power from the building to
each rack - as growing AI compute demands reshape how power is distributed
within data centres. The solutions span the transition across two generations
of NVIDIA MGX power architecture, from 480 VAC to the NVIDIA 800 VDC
architecture, designed to support the rapidly increasing power demands of AI
factories.

As AI workloads grow
and compute density increases, data centres must manage significantly more
power within increasingly dense environments without compromising reliability,
efficiency or scalability. That shift is placing new demands on the
connectivity systems that deliver power to AI compute infrastructure.

“AI is fundamentally
changing data center infrastructure, and HARTING has the engineering expertise
to help enable that transformation,” said Philip Harting, Chairman of the Board
and CEO, HARTING Technology Group. “Our inclusion in the NVIDIA MGX ecosystem
brings our decades of connectivity experience in high power environments, from
rolling stock to automotive, to the infrastructure supporting the next
generation of AI.”

For the NVIDIA MGX
platform, HARTING provides a 100A/480VAC power whip for the 3RU 110kW power
shelf for NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72, supporting the transition to 800 VDC with a
next-generation 157A/800 VDC DC-DC power whip connecting the power
infrastructure to the compute rack.

“As AI compute becomes
more powerful and rack densities increase, the industry has to rethink power
distribution from the ground up,” said Christian Gysin, Chief Technology
Officer and Member of the Executive Board, HARTING Technology Group. “The
transition from 480VAC toward 800 VDC is a significant step in that evolution.
Connectivity must support higher power levels while delivering the reliability,
safety and scalability these environments demand. That is precisely where
HARTING’s engineering expertise comes into play.”

HARTING solutions
transmit power, data and signal across mission-critical systems worldwide. The
company is drawing on decades of experience in demanding industrial
environments and its global engineering and vertically integrated manufacturing
capabilities to address the evolving connectivity requirements of AI
infrastructure and data centres.

As part of the NVIDIA
MGX ecosystem, HARTING will be featured on the NVIDIA AI Factory MGX Ecosystem
wall at the OCP Global Summit 2026. The executives from HARTING will honourably
attend the NVIDIA MGX ceremony. Besides, two HARTING power whip solutions
supporting the NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 platform will also be on display in the
HARTING booth (Booth No. C79) demonstrating the power connectivity behind
current and next-generation AI infrastructure.

Group is a leading global provider of industrial connectivity. More than 7,000
employees are active across the globe in 42 sales companies, 13 production

<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi [India] : Picture this. You&#039;ve spent weeks, and a fair bit of money, on a brand-new website. It looks sharp. Your friends love it. Then the launch buzz fades, and what&#039;s left is a very quiet inbox.If that sounds familiar, you&#039;re in good company. At Scenecoding, we hear this story from Bangalore business owners all the time. And the fix is almost never &quot;a prettier homepage.&quot;A website is a salesperson, not a brochureHere&#039;s the shift that changes everything: your website isn&#039;t there to be admired. It&#039;s there to start conversations. Every page should quietly answer one question for a stranger: &quot;Can I trust these people, and what do I do next?&quot;When a site doesn&#039;t generate inquiries, it&#039;s usually down to one of three things.1.  It was designed to impress, not to convert.Heavy sliders, a hidden phone number, a contact form that goes nowhere. Most visitors are on a phone, often on patchy 4G, and they decide within seconds. If calling or messaging you takes more than one tap, they&#039;re gone.2.  Nobody can find it.A beautiful site that doesn&#039;t show up on Google is a shop with a boarded-up front door. Unique page titles, clean structure, a properly set-up Google Business Profile, and fast loading speeds aren&#039;t &quot;extras.&quot; They&#039;re how the right people stumble onto you when they&#039;re already searching for what you sell.3.  The traffic lands in the wrong place.This one hurts the most. Businesses spend on Google or Instagram ads and send everyone to the homepage, hoping visitors will figure it out. They won&#039;t. An ad needs a specific landing page built for that one promise, with one clear next step.What a hard-working website actually hasYou don&#039;t need anything overly complicated. You just need the basics done properly:A mobile-first layout that loads fast and keeps your phone number front and center.Click-to-call and WhatsApp buttons that actually work, using the same number as your Google listing.Pages written to answer the real questions your customers ask, rather than generic corporate filler.Analytics and Google Search Console connected from day one (so you can see exactly how Google and your customers view your site).A clear path on every single page: call, chat, or fill out the form.Notice that none of this is glamorous. It&#039;s just the difference between a site that sits there and a site that actively works for you.Why websites alone won&#039;t cut itBuilding the site is only half the battle. You need traffic, visibility, and people to actually walk through your digital front door.That&#039;s where complete digital marketing comes in—and that&#039;s where most traditional agencies drop the ball. They build a site, hand it off, and expect you to figure out search rankings, social media, and ads on your own. None of the pieces talk to each other.How we do complete digital marketing differentlyAt Scenecoding, we treat your website as just one piece of a much bigger system. We cover every angle of how people find you, trust you, and buy from you—all working together from our office in Bangalore.Here&#039;s what that complete system looks like in practice:Your Digital Homebase: We build fast, mobile-first websites designed to act as your foundation—built specifically to capture interest and convert visitors into real leads.Organic Visibility &amp; Trust: We structure your site and write helpful content so you naturally climb Google&#039;s search results without paying for clicks. We also optimize your local profiles to capture reviews and word-of-mouth reputation.Community Connection: We ensure your social media presence effectively connects with your audience, keeping your brand top-of-mind and driving interested people back to your site.Targeted Campaigns: We build highly targeted Google and Instagram ad campaigns that send ready-to-buy traffic straight to pages designed specifically to capture them.Tracking &amp; Ownership: Analytics are wired up from day one so you see exactly what is working. No finger-pointing, no silos—just one team owning the entire system and driving one result.It&#039;s also why our work is measured in actual inquiries and enrollments rather than vanity numbers. Here is what happens when the entire system is connected:None of those wins came from a fancier design. They came from joining the dots across the entire digital marketing system—website, search visibility, social engagement, ads, and the customer journey.Not sure where your website stands?Honestly, taking a step back to look at the whole picture is the best place to start. You rarely need a full rebuild to find out what&#039;s holding your business back. Sometimes it&#039;s a handful of fixable things: a slow page, a missing title, or an ad pointing at the wrong link.That&#039;s why we offer a free audit. We look at your current website, your Google presence, and your ads. Then, we point out the gaps in plain English and sketch a simple plan you can actually act on. No pressure, no ticket queue. You can even reach us on WhatsApp and get a real reply from a real person.Ready to find ou ]]></description>

<title>Advanced IVF Laboratories and Reproductive Technology: How Science Is Reshaping Fertility Treatment in India</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 

New Delhi :
Rapid advancements in reproductive medicine are changing the way fertility
challenges are diagnosed and managed across India. From sophisticated
embryology laboratories to artificial intelligence-assisted sperm analysis and
specialised sperm-retrieval procedures, modern reproductive technologies are
providing fertility specialists with additional tools to assess complex
conditions and plan appropriate treatments.

Maj. Dr. Nishi Singh ( Retd. ) of Prime IVF &amp; Infertility Centre highlights how advanced sperm
analysis, Micro-TESE technology and modern embryology laboratories are
supporting personalised fertility treatment

Maj. Dr. Nishi Singh ( Retd. ), fertility specialist at Prime
IVF &amp; Infertility Centre,
highlights the growing importance of combining advanced laboratory
infrastructure with experienced medical professionals to support accurate
fertility assessment and individualised treatment planning.

Infertility is a medical condition that can involve male factors,
female factors, a combination of both or unexplained causes. According to the
World Health Organization, approximately one in six adults worldwide
experiences infertility during their lifetime, underlining the need for
accessible, evidence-based reproductive healthcare.

As awareness about fertility treatment increases, specialised
diagnostic technologies are becoming an important part of assisted reproductive
medicine. However, experts emphasise that technological advancements must be
supported by appropriate clinical evaluation, trained professionals and
established laboratory quality standards.

The Evolution of Modern IVF Laboratories

IVF laboratories have undergone significant developments over the
years, with improvements in imaging systems, incubation technology,
environmental monitoring and specialised equipment used for handling eggs,
sperm and embryos.

Modern embryology laboratories rely on carefully controlled conditions
to support fertilisation and embryo development. Temperature regulation, air
quality, laboratory hygiene and appropriate handling procedures are among the
important factors involved in maintaining laboratory standards.

High-resolution microscopes and specialised imaging systems allow
embryologists to examine reproductive cells and monitor different stages of
laboratory procedures. Advanced incubators help maintain controlled
environments for embryo culture, while laboratory quality-management systems
support documentation, traceability and consistency.

These developments have strengthened the technical capabilities
available to reproductive healthcare professionals. Nevertheless, the
effectiveness of laboratory procedures depends on appropriate equipment use,
validated protocols and skilled embryology teams.

Advanced Micro-TESE Technology and Male Infertility Treatment

One of the specialised procedures used in selected cases of severe
male-factor infertility is Microdissection Testicular Sperm Extraction,
commonly known as Micro-TESE.

The procedure may be considered for certain men diagnosed with
non-obstructive azoospermia, a condition in which sperm are absent from the
ejaculate because of impaired sperm production within the testes.

Unlike conventional sperm-retrieval techniques, Micro-TESE involves
the use of a surgical operating microscope to help a trained surgeon identify
testicular tissue that may contain sperm-producing tubules.

The magnified view allows more targeted examination and tissue
sampling during the procedure. When viable sperm are successfully retrieved,
they may be considered for use in assisted reproductive procedures such as
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), depending on clinical circumstances.

However, Micro-TESE is not suitable for every patient with
azoospermia. Its use requires detailed medical evaluation, appropriate hormonal
and genetic investigations where indicated, and counselling regarding potential
benefits, limitations and surgical risks.

Sperm retrieval is not guaranteed, and the procedure must be performed
by appropriately trained specialists.

AI-Assisted Sperm Analysis: Supporting More Detailed Fertility
Assessment

Artificial intelligence is also finding applications in reproductive
diagnostics, particularly in computer-assisted semen analysis and emerging
AI-supported sperm assessment systems.

Depending on the specific device and its validated capabilities, these
technologies may help laboratory professionals assess parameters such as sperm
concentration, motility and selected morphological characteristics.

Digital imaging and automated analysis can assist with the measurement
and documentation of semen parameters, potentially improving workflow consistency
when systems are appropriately validated and operated.

However, the accuracy and clinical usefulness of individual
AI-assisted systems depend on their technical specifications, validation,
sample quality and laboratory procedures.

Importantly, automated semen analysis does not indepen ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ 

This programme is designed to help CFOs enhance their strategic
decision-making capabilities, navigate through evolving financial landscapes,
and drive organizational profitability with confidence and expertise

Mumbai, 13th October, 2026: According to PwC’s Pulse Survey (CFO Insights 2024), 53% of finance
leaders are reevaluating their investment strategies to prioritise margin
improvement, while 66% are considering mergers and acquisitions as a key growth
lever. Additionally, more than half (53%) are accelerating digital
transformation through data analytics, AI, automation, and cloud
technologies—tools that are becoming central to modern financial operations.

<title>Is AI Taking Entry&#45;Level Jobs in Financial Markets?</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/is-ai-taking-entry-level-jobs-in-financial-markets</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/is-ai-taking-entry-level-jobs-in-financial-markets</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

Among 185 respondents to a QuantInsti survey, 26% expect fewer
entry-level seats, 30% expect the role to change shape, and 33% say it is too
early to tell. Their answers on skills, coding and AI use add detail to a
question the industry has not settled.

MUMBAI, India, October 13, 2026 : Is
AI taking entry-level jobs in financial markets? Respondents to a QuantInsti survey are divided. Asked
whether the entry-level role is disappearing or changing shape, respondents
answered:

●      25.8%
said it will have fewer seats

●      30.3%
said it will change shape, with roughly the same number of seats

●      32.6%
said it is too early to say

●      11.2%
said it will grow

The survey was run during and after QuantInsti&#039;s 16th Anniversary
Annual Algo Trading Conference, held on September 24, 2026, which drew
participants from more than 110 countries. It is voluntary and self-selected,
so it reflects the views of the 185 people who chose to respond, not all conference
participants. The question did not ask respondents to attribute any change to
AI specifically. What follows is how respondents answered the questions people
in trading communities keep asking.

Are entry-level roles disappearing?

Views differ by experience. Share of respondents in each group who
expect fewer entry-level seats:

●      Under
1 year in markets: 24.4%

●      1
to 3 years: 39.5% (the highest of any group)

●      3
to 7 years: 17.8%

●      7
to 15 years: 15.8% (a smaller group)

●      15
or more years: 25.0%

Mridul Arora, Partner at Elevation Capital, speaking on the
conference&#039;s careers panel, said the worst-case view is too strong, though he
did not dismiss the change.

“Has AI closed the door for entry-level people? I think that&#039;s too
dramatic. I feel like some of the old doors are closed.”
Mridul Arora

He also noted that firms are building differently: “People are
building for leverage and not for headcounts.”

What skills do respondents expect to matter?

Each respondent chose the single skill they expect to matter most for
getting hired over the next two years:

●      49.2%:
getting real work out of AI tools

●      14.9%:
statistics and validation methods

●      14.9%:
market and product knowledge

●      13.3%:
communication with stakeholders

●      7.7%:
writing and reading code

Few respondents chose coding as the single most important skill, which
does not mean they see it as unimportant. The survey was not designed to
measure that. About 78% of respondents are self-directed traders or students
rather than hiring managers, so the results reflect community expectations, not
employer data.

Ajay Sharma, President of Edelweiss Public Alternatives, drew a line
between screen-based tasks and those that depend on judgment.

“Anything that happens on screen, looking at charts, placing a trade,
a computer and AI will do better than me. But anything in the physical world,
which is soft skills, you cannot replace with AI.”

Ajay Sharma

Do you need to code to trade systematically?

Most respondents do not yet. Asked how much of their trading runs
through code:

●      35.2%
said none of it, everything is discretionary

●      24.7%
are not currently trading

●      23.6%
use code for research and place orders manually

●      11.0%
run automated execution under supervision

●      5.5%
are fully automated

In total, 40.1% use code in some way (the last three groups
combined).

Coding and AI use go together. Share of respondents who have not used
AI in the past three months:

Respondents who already run code in their trading: 9.7%

Respondents who do not run code: 39.6% (a group that includes
people not currently trading)

This shows an association and does not prove that coding leads to AI
use.
Tony Lee, CFA, Chief Brokerage Officer at Alpaca, said the engineers his firm
hires still need to code.

“They know how to code, but more importantly, they know how to prompt
the agents to code. Their ability to communicate with the agents is the most
important thing we&#039;re looking for nowadays.”
Tony Lee, CFA

Can AI build a trading strategy?

72.1% of respondents have used AI for some trading
task in the past three months. Each respondent named their main use:

●      27.9%:
strategy ideation or research

●      27.3%:
writing or debugging code

●      9.8%:
data pipeline work

●      7.1%:
reading research faster

●      27.9%:
have not used AI yet

Among those who have used AI, about nine in ten named something it
produced that they would actually use, most often help with code or strategy
ideas. 22.2% of respondents worry that everyone will end up with the same
AI-generated ideas.

At the conference&#039;s opening workshop, Stefan Jansen, founder of
Applied AI and author of Machine Learning for Trading, showed how coding
agents built and tested a trading strategy in minutes, then walked attendees
through how to check the result.

Why do good-looking backtests fail live?

A backtest tests a strategy on
past data. Respondents&#039; biggest c ]]></description>

<title>Bengaluru Quantum Engineer Rajesh Kumar Krishnan Unveils Five Books Spanning Quantum Security, the Big Bang, Ancient Wisdom — and Management Secrets</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India]: Somewhere in a fiber under a city, a single photon is carrying
a secret. Copy it and it changes; measure it and it tells. Rajesh Kumar
Krishnan has spent nearly a decade turning that law into working machines — not
from a whiteboard, but at the bench. He has designed the laser drivers,
modulator electronics and single-photon detector circuits that make quantum key
distribution run, written the FPGA logic that times them to the picosecond,
hardened post-quantum cryptography against side-channel attack, and stood in
the field at 2 a.m. coaxing a link back to life. Today, as Senior VP –
Innovation at QNu Labs, the physicist who still aligns his own optics and reads
his own oscilloscope puts it all into a book. The Unclonable Photon
headlines a stack of five titles by Krishnan, out now in print and e-book, that
reads like the inside of a very unusual head.

The Unclonable Photon — Physics · Engineering · Security. The book its author wishes had existed when he started. It
opens with the no-cloning theorem and never lets go of the reader&#039;s hand: every
protocol derived, every detector quirk explained, every security proof pushed
all the way to a key rate you could measure on a bench. Worked numbers,
corrected in-depth diagrams and the hard-won intuition of someone who has
watched these systems fail in the field and fixed them.

&quot;Most books on quantum communication stop at the idea. Most
papers start after it,&quot; Krishnan said. &quot;Nobody stays with you through
the middle — why a detector&#039;s dead time quietly eats your key, what a decoy
state is really doing, how a proof on paper becomes bits in a box. This book
lives in the middle.&quot;

Quantum Physics in 300 Formulas — Two Places at Once. Three hundred results of quantum mechanics, each derived step
by step, each with a picture, a story and a worked example with real numbers.
The Schrödinger equation built from operators; the uncertainty principle as a
bargain you can&#039;t escape. A book to be read with a pencil.

The Physics of Time — Running Late Since the Big Bang. Graduate-level depth, full derivations, and a narrator who
refuses to be solemn about entropy. Why time has an arrow, why your GPS would
drift without relativity, and why the universe has been running late for 13.8
billion years.

Lift the Bow — Sanskrit · Tamil · English. Verses on work, duty, focus and courage from the Gita, the
Tirukkural and the Upanishads, set in three languages. Its old title, Where
the Hand Goes, survives as the subtitle — the lines, Krishnan says, that
got him through long nights of debugging.

How to Get a Cute Wife. The delightful outlier. A funny, entirely non-quantum book of
management secrets, hiding behind a title that is anything but boring —
written, the author insists, from field experience.



&quot;Quantum technology is
leaving the lab, and India has a real shot at building this rather than buying
it,&quot; Krishnan said. &quot;But you can&#039;t build what you can&#039;t derive. The
technical books are for the next hundred engineers who will. The other two are
for everyone who has to live with them.&quot;

Krishnan is that rare combination: a leader who builds. He began
as a hardware design engineer, founded an embedded-systems company, and in 2017
joined QNu Labs as a project lead — rising through product management and heading
engineering to lead innovation across the company&#039;s entire quantum portfolio.
Today he directs teams spanning quantum information, atomic physics and
post-quantum cryptography, drives research partnerships with universities in
India and Europe, and holds patents in quantum security. He is as likely to be
found reviewing a security proof as probing a photodiode, and has long insisted
that the two are the same job. He also writes physics problems and workshop
material for students.

All five titles are on sale now in print and e-book on Amazon
and Flipkart, with worldwide distribution across 150+ countries. Sample
chapters, talks and the author&#039;s blog are at rajeshkumarkrishnan.com.

<title>PCPL delivers 14 lakh sq. ft in Mumbai redevelopment; pipeline expands to 21 lakh sq. ft across key growth corridors</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/pcpl-delivers-14-lakh-sq-ft-in-mumbai-redevelopment-pipeline-expands-to-21-lakh-sq-ft-across-key-growth-corridors</link>

<description><![CDATA[ 


 To date, PCPL has delivered 28 redevelopment projects,
     improving the quality of life for more than 2,450 families across Mumbai’s
     Western suburbs
 The developer has recently forayed into high-demand
     neighbourhoods as well as heritage precincts
 Their planned pipeline of 18 upcoming redevelopment projects
     represents a total development potential of over 21 lakh sq. ft 


Pranav Constructions Limited, a
Mumbai-based developer specialising in redevelopment projects, has announced
the successful delivery of over 14 lakh sq. ft of redeveloped residential space
across the city as of March 2026. This milestone underscores the company’s
steady execution-led growth and its expanding footprint in Mumbai’s evolving
urban landscape.

Over the past decade, PCPL has delivered 28
redevelopment projects, transforming ageing housing stock into contemporary
residential landmarks. These developments have collectively improved the
quality of life for more than 2,450 families across Mumbai’s Western suburbs,
including Borivali, Kandivali, Malad and Goregaon, where the company
established its early presence. Since 2023, PCPL has accelerated its expansion
strategy, entering high-demand neighbourhoods such as Santacruz, Bandra,
Andheri, and Vile Parle. The company has also marked a significant milestone
with its entry into heritage precincts such as Mahim and Matunga, reinforcing
its evolution into a city-wide redevelopment player.

PCPL currently has 20 redevelopment
projects under construction across Mumbai, spanning locations from Borivali to
Mahim. These projects include key developments such as Kaveri and Falcon Crest
in Malad, Om Manikanta in Goregaon and Vaibhav Vista in Andheri, as well as
Pearl Palace, Samrat and 42 Aura in Santacruz, Gulnar in Bandra and Vivante in
Mahim. Together, these projects reflect the company’s continued focus on
delivering quality residential redevelopment across prime micro-markets. 

Looking ahead, PCPL has outlined a strong
growth trajectory with a planned pipeline of 18 upcoming redevelopment
projects, representing a total development potential of over 21 lakh sq. ft.
Building on the developer’s balanced acquisition strategy in high-potential
urban pockets, this pipeline is distributed across Mumbai’s Western suburbs and
South Mumbai. PCPL is seeking to expand its footprint in both established
Western corridors and emerging South Mumbai redevelopment clusters, as it
continues to evaluate select projects across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.

“Crossing the milestone of over 14 lakh sq.
ft delivered reflects our consistent focus on execution, quality and timely
delivery. Redevelopment is ultimately about creating long-term value for homeowners
while contributing to Mumbai&#039;s urban transformation. With a future pipeline of
more than 21 lakh sq. ft across established and emerging micro-markets, we are
well positioned to build on this momentum. Our strategy remains centred on
responsible growth, thoughtful redevelopment and creating sustainable
communities that address the evolving needs of the city,” said Pranav Kiran
Ashar, Chairman and Managing Director, PCPL. 

Residential redevelopment will remain the
core of PCPL’s portfolio strategy, even as the developer selectively expands
into commercial and mixed-use redevelopments. This gradual diversification
aligns with evolving urban needs and supports the creation of integrated,
future-ready neighbourhoods. At the same time, PCPL will continue to integrate
sustainability across its development lifecycle, incorporating
resource-efficient construction practices, environmentally responsible
execution methods, and green building principles. The company also actively
pursues sustainability certifications and adopts technology-driven planning to
minimise environmental impact while enhancing long-term liveability.

About PCPL

Founded in 2013, PCPL is one of the leading
real estate redevelopment companies in Mumbai, focused on transforming ageing
residential communities into modern, well-planned developments. With a strong
track record of execution across Mumbai’s Western suburbs and an expanding
presence in the island city, the company continues to play a growing role in
shaping Mumbai’s urban renewal story. ]]></description>

<title>Paranjape Schemes’ Ganarang 2026 Brings Together 54 Societies and 2,000+ Participants in a Celebration of Culture and Community</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/paranjape-schemes-ganarang-2026-brings-together-54-societies-and-2000-participants-in-a-celebration-of-culture-and-community</link>

<description><![CDATA[ 

Pune,
October 12, 2026: Paranjape Schemes (Construction) Ltd.,
a legacy developer known for pioneering new-age residential formats,
successfully hosted the 16th edition of Ganarang, its annual cultural
initiative that brings residents together through music, dance, theatre and
other performing arts. The 2026 edition brought together 54 societies, with more
than 2,000 participants taking part in performances and over 5,000 people
contributing backstage. Madhukosh was named the Best Performing Society 2026,
while Woodland emerged as the Runner-Up, marking another successful edition of
the community-led cultural celebration.

Ganarang
marks its 16th edition this year, continuing a tradition that has been
celebrated consistently for 16 years. What began with participation from four
to five societies has grown into a large-scale cultural platform that brings together
residents across generations. Over the years, the initiative has evolved beyond
the final performances, with months of rehearsals, auditions and preparation
creating opportunities for residents to interact, collaborate and celebrate
together.

Shashank
Paranjape, Managing Director, Paranjape Schemes (Construction) Ltd., said,
“It is immensely joyful to see how Ganarang has grown and, more importantly,
how it brings people together. Seeing families, children and senior citizens
participate with the same enthusiasm and share the stage is a reminder of the
togetherness that exists within our communities. For us, that is what makes
Ganarang truly special.”

Amit
Paranjape, Director – Business Development, Paranjape Schemes (Construction)
Ltd., said, “More than 50 societies, over 2,000
participants and 16 years without a break make Ganarang much more than an
annual cultural celebration. Of everything we do in the business, this gives me
the greatest satisfaction because it brings residents together, gives them an
opportunity to take the stage, cheer each other on and create lasting
connections. Building a community is not only about creating a good place to
live, but also about creating opportunities for people to come together and
build relationships. What started as a small cultural initiative has grown into
a tradition that residents look forward to, participate in and make their own.
Ganarang is a beautiful expression of that community spirit.”

The
initiative is planned and executed entirely by Paranjape Schemes, with the
stage, auditorium, facilities and other infrastructure arranged by the
organisation. Its intergenerational format brings children, young participants
and senior citizens onto the same platform, with residents from Athashri
communities also actively participating. The initiative reflects Paranjape
Schemes’ broader approach to community living, where cultural, social and
everyday experiences form an important part of life within its developments.

For
Paranjape Schemes, Ganarang continues to demonstrate how cultural participation
can become an important part of community living. What began as a small
community initiative has evolved into a much-loved annual tradition, bringing
residents together across generations through talent, culture and shared
experiences. As the initiative moves beyond its 16th edition, Ganarang remains
a reflection of the company’s belief that a development is not just about
homes, but about creating communities where people connect, participate and
celebrate together.

<title>HSNC University&amp;apos;s Inaugural Edition of Youth Festval ‘Yuvaantar 2026’ Celebrates the Art, Ideas and Energy of Young India</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Winners of
Yuvaantar 2026 at HSNC University, Mumbai

Some of the most memorable moments in a student&#039;s journey happen when
there is room to try something new, step into the spotlight and discover an
ability that may have remained unexplored. At HSNC University, Mumbai,
Yuvaantar 2026 created that space, bringing students from its constituent
colleges and University Schools together for its first inter-collegiate youth
festival across music, dance, theatre, literary arts and fine arts.

Organised under the aegis of the Department of Students’ Development
(DSD), the festival marked an important milestone in the University&#039;s efforts
to create opportunities for students to explore their interests, develop their
creative abilities and connect with peers beyond their respective campuses.
With six participating contingents competing across 29 competitions, the
inaugural edition brought together a diverse range of talents under one
University identity.

The festival opened on 2nd October 2026 at the University&#039;s
Worli campus with a vibrant procession of contingents, setting an energetic
tone for the celebrations. The formal inauguration by Chief Guest Col. Prof.
Dr. Hemlata K. Bala, Vice Chancellor, HSNC University, at the Hiro Sitaldas
Punwani Convocation Hall brought together University dignitaries, Deans,
Associate Deans, faculty members, cultural coordinators, team managers and
students for the commencement of this new chapter in campus life.

Addressing the gathering, Dr. Hemlata K. Bagla shared the
thought behind the festival&#039;s distinctive name. Yuva represents youth, while
Antar signifies what lies within. Together, the words capture the festival&#039;s
central philosophy: every young person possesses talents, ideas, creativity and
potential that deserve opportunities to emerge and flourish. By providing
students with a platform beyond the classroom, Yuvaantar sought to encourage
them to explore these possibilities, express themselves with confidence and
discover new dimensions of their abilities.

Dr. Bagla also explained the symbolism of the Yuvaantar logo, which places youth
at the centre, reflecting the University&#039;s student-first approach. The
surrounding petals represent students with their individual talents and forms
of expression, coming together as part of one larger University community. The
symbolism captures the spirit of a University where diverse interests and
abilities can co-exist, complement one another and contribute to a shared sense
of belonging.

Congratulating the participating students and contingents, Dr. Bagla
acknowledged their enthusiastic involvement in the inaugural edition. She
also appreciated the efforts of the Department of Students’ Development,
faculty members, coordinators, organising team and volunteers in bringing the
festival to life.

Yuvaantar 2026 recorded 79 entries involving 165 student participants
across six contingents and 29 competitions, organised under five broad
categories: Music, Dance, Theatre, Literary Arts and Fine Arts. From singers,
instrumentalists and dancers to actors, debaters, speakers, photographers and
visual artists, the festival offered students multiple avenues to showcase
their abilities and engage with different forms of creative expression.

The range of competitions highlighted an important dimension of student
life: talent can find expression in many forms, whether through the discipline
of a musical performance, the imagination behind a work of art, the confidence
required to take the stage or the ability to communicate an idea with
conviction. By bringing these varied pursuits together, Yuvaantar created a
common platform for students to share their strengths and appreciate the
creative interests of their peers.

The competitions were evaluated by 17 distinguished judges, comprising
experts and accomplished professionals from their respective fields. Their
involvement brought professional perspectives to the festival and offered
participants an opportunity to present their work before experienced
evaluators. The experience of preparing, performing and competing also
encouraged students to develop confidence, discipline, teamwork and the ability
to engage constructively with feedback.

In the overall championship results, H. R. College and
K. C. College were declared joint overall champions. Bombay Teachers’ Training
College (BTTC) secured the first runner-up position, while HSNC University
Schools emerged as the second runner-up.

A notable highlight was that all six participating contingents secured
prizes in one or more competitions. The spread of honours reflected the breadth
of talent across the participating institutions and added to the inclusive
spirit of the festival, with students finding opportunities to excel across
different creative disciplines.

Beyond the competition results, the festival&#039;s significance lay in
bringing together students from different institutions and academic
backgrounds. Representing their respective conti ]]></description>

<title>The professionals getting ahead aren&amp;apos;t climbing faster. They&amp;apos;re changing direction</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/the-professionals-getting-ahead-arent-climbing-faster-theyre-changing-direction</link>

<description><![CDATA[ 

For decades, career progression followed a familiar script. Build
expertise in one function. Climb steadily through the hierarchy. Become the
recognised specialist. Repeat. 

Today, that model is changing. 

LinkedIn&#039;s 2026 global talent research reveals that while 52% of
professionals are seeking new roles, nearly 80% feel unprepared for today&#039;s job
market, even as two-thirds of recruiters struggle to find quality talent. 

The challenge is no longer a lack of opportunities but a growing
demand for professionals who can apply their expertise across functions and
industries. As organisations evolve through globalisation, leaner structures,
and AI-driven transformation, technical skills alone are no longer enough.
Employers increasingly value cross-functional thinking, business acumen, and
the ability to connect disciplines, making adaptability the defining skill for
long-term career success.

Moreover, the critical question for professionals today is no longer,
&quot;How do I become better at my function?&quot; 

It is, &quot;How do I become effective beyond it?&quot;

Learning designed for careers that won&#039;t stand still 

It is against this backdrop that executive education itself is
evolving. The Master of Business Administration (MBA) - Global delivered jointly by The University of Western Australia (UWA) and IIM Kozhikode
reflects this broader shift in how leadership capabilities are developed.
Rather than focusing on a single discipline, the program is designed to
deliberately widen managerial perspective over two years. 

Year 1

Complete six modules from IIM Kozhikode to earn the Professional
Certificate Programme in Advanced Business Management. Students also
receive 36 credits through UWA&#039;s Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL),
ensuring their learning contributes directly to the master&#039;s program.

Year 2

Continue with six modules delivered by UWA that are focused on international
business, global strategy, and cross-market leadership, and graduate with
an internationally recognised   Master of Business
Administration (MBA) - Global, while benefiting from
the academic strengths and alumni networks of both IIM Kozhikode and UWA.

The structure itself mirrors the demands of today&#039;s labour market:
build depth first, then broaden your ability to operate across industries,
markets and business environments. 

Due to the dual nature of the learning journey, graduates earn a
qualification shaped by two distinct academic traditions, combining IIM
Kozhikode&#039;s management expertise with UWA&#039;s international perspective -
signalling versatility in an increasingly interconnected business landscape. 

Credibility that travels across markets 

Students get to benefit from the global standing of both institutions.


●      UWA
is ranked 77th in the world (QS World University Rankings 2027)

●      IIM
Kozhikode is among India&#039;s leading management institutions and is ranked #3 in
India in the NIRF Management Rankings 2025.

●      Upon
graduation, students join UWA&#039;s global alumni network, connecting them with
more than 155,000 graduates across 60+ countries.

Learner feedback further reinforces the program&#039;s impact, with
professionals from organisations including TCS, Infosys, KPMG, ICICI Bank, JP
Morgan and Mercedes-Benz rating the program 4.5 out of 5, highlighting its
relevance across industries. 

For Varsha Kumari, Executive Housekeeper at Gnosis Hospitality, one of
the program&#039;s defining strengths was precisely this broader perspective.

&quot;The dual credentials expanded the way I approached business
beyond my own function. It challenged me to think strategically across
different contexts rather than only through the lens of my existing role.&quot;


Here’s what students will gain from the industry-aligned
syllabus:

●      Build
strategic thinking to solve complex business challenges and
drive sustainable growth. 

●      Master
finance, marketing, operations, leadership, and data-driven decision-making
in one integrated program. 

●      Apply
generative AI and agentic tools to solve real-world
business challenges through hands-on AI Masterclasses. 

●      Develop
a global business perspective and lead confidently across industries,
markets, and cultures. 

As the labour market continues to evolve, perhaps the most valuable
career asset is no longer a clearly defined path.  It is the ability to build one wherever the
opportunity leads.

<description><![CDATA[ 

Kolkata, October 12, 2026 :
As India&#039;s AYUSH sector prepares for an ambitious phase of expansion aligned
with AYUSH Vision 2030, which envisages a USD 213 billion AYUSH economy by
2030, the five-decade-old Powell Group has announced the appointment of Mr.
Muralidharan Narayanaswamy as Chief Business Transformation Officer,
strengthening its focus on business diversification, institutional
partnerships, entrepreneurship, and sustainable growth.

The appointment was announced by Prof. Dr.
Soumik Banerjee, MSc, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer of the Group. Mr.
Muralidharan Narayanaswamy, a Gold Medalist in Systems Management, also holds a
Master&#039;s degree in Intellectual Property Law and is a renowned educationist and
Supreme Court Mediator, will be responsible for the strategic mentorship of the
senior management and for advising the Board on strategic inputs for growth and
development. He is also the Director &amp; CEO of Unnayan Educational Services
Pvt. Ltd. and brings an entrepreneurial perspective, experience in
institution-building, and a strong orientation towards developing innovative
and scalable business models.

Founded in 1975 by Late Prof. Dr. Sailendra
Nath Roy and headquartered in Kolkata, Powell Group is a diversified healthcare
and wellness enterprise with interests spanning homoeopathic medicines,
Ayurveda, herbal wellness, nutraceuticals, and personal care. Guided by its
founding commitment to service, the Group is expanding its presence in domestic
and international markets while pursuing innovation, quality, and diversified business
opportunities. Under the guidance of Chairperson and Co-founder Dr. Rita Roy
and the visionary leadership of Managing Director Dr. Sudipta Narayan Roy,
Powell is pursuing an ambitious growth strategy encompassing pan-India
distribution, strengthened research and product validation, emerging consumer
wellness categories, and international partnerships.

Announcing the appointment, Prof. Dr. Soumik
Banerjee, MSc, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer, Powell Group, said, &quot;Powell
is at a defining inflection point where traditional knowledge must converge
with scientific validation, institutional partnerships, and sustainable scale
expanding horizons for global expansions as well. As we strengthen our research
ecosystem, product innovation pipeline, and diversification into differentiated
wellness categories, we need cross-sectoral strategic wisdom. Mr. Muralidharan
Narayanaswamy brings a rare combination of legal acumen in Intellectual
Property, a deep understanding of education and institution-building, and experience
as a Supreme Court Mediator. His mentorship will be invaluable in guiding our
senior management, strengthening governance, and shaping strategic
collaborations for long-term growth.&quot;

Sharing his perspective, Mr. Muralidharan
Narayanaswamy said, &quot;What attracted me to Powell was not merely its
five-decade legacy or its commercial potential, but the philosophy underlying
its journey—enterprise as an instrument of service to society. I see Powell&#039;s
future as an integrated AYUSH and wellness ecosystem, bringing together
manufacturing, innovation, distribution, consumer engagement, and
entrepreneurship. My endeavour will be to work with the leadership in
identifying strategic opportunities, developing sustainable business models,
building institutional relationships, and creating synergies across the Group&#039;s
ventures. India&#039;s AYUSH ambitions present a compelling opportunity. But our
contribution must ultimately be measured not simply by business expansion, but
by the value we create for consumers, entrepreneurs, and communities.&quot;

The Group&#039;s scientific and commercial
leadership will continue to drive its established businesses, while the new
advisory association is expected to contribute cross-sectoral and cross-border
perspectives to its diversification strategy, with a particular focus on
differentiated wellness products, emerging retail formats, rural enterprise
development, IP-led innovation, FDI and overseas collaborations being explored
through its recent strategic engagement with Sen &amp; Ray LLC-FZ, a financial
consultancy firm based in Dubai, UAE, to fuel its next phase of expansion,
representing another step towards its aspiration of combining traditional
knowledge, scientific discipline, entrepreneurial innovation, and inclusive
economic growth.

<title>CREDAI&#45;MCHI 44th AGM Brings Industry Leaders Together to Shape the Outlook for Mumbai and MMR</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 

Mumbai, October 12, 2026: CREDAI-MCHI, the apex body representing the real estate sector across the Mumbai
Metropolitan Region, hosted its 44th Annual General Meeting on Thursday, at Jio
World Convention Centre, Mumbai, bringing together senior industry leaders and
members of the real estate fraternity for an evening of dialogue, reflection
and networking.

The evening featured the formal proceedings of
the 44th AGM, by the CREDAI-MCHI Red Talk with Shri Motilal Oswal Ji,
Co-Founder, Managing Director &amp; CEO, Motilal Oswal Financial Services
Limited (MOFSL). The sessions brought together perspectives on Mumbai’s
continued growth, the evolving economic environment and the role of the real
estate sector in shaping the city and the wider MMR.The AGM also provided an
opportunity to reflect on a year that saw continued momentum across the region
with infrastructure expansion, evolving housing demand, policy developments and
broader economic conditions influencing the real estate sector.

Shri Motilal Oswal Ji, Co-Founder, Managing
Director &amp; CEO, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Limited, said, “Building a successful business requires strong values, trust
and a long-term vision. As businesses grow, leaders must be willing to evolve,
embrace new technologies and build teams that take ownership and learn
continuously. These principles are equally important for a region like the
Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), where sustained growth depends on long-term
planning, strong institutions and the ability to adapt to changing needs. As
the region continues to expand, creating lasting value and nurturing future
leaders will be key to ensuring that growth remains sustainable and benefits
generations to come.”

Shri Sukhraj Nahar, President, CREDAI-MCHI, said, “Mumbai and the MMR are entering a significant phase of
growth, driven by expanding infrastructure, improved connectivity and rising
economic activity. The real estate sector will play a central role in this
transformation, particularly in addressing the region’s housing needs and
supporting well-planned urban communities. As we look ahead, our priority will
be to strengthen Ease of Doing Business, support faster approvals, prepare the
industry for AI-led and emerging regulatory processes, and continue working
closely with policymakers. At the same time, we must ensure that the homebuyer
remains at the centre of every reform, while keeping the long-term interests of
Mumbai, Maharashtra and its residents at the heart of development.”

Mr. Rushi Mehta, Secretary, CREDAI-MCHI, said, “The outlook for the coming year remains constructive, with
Mumbai and the MMR continuing to benefit from strong fundamentals and long-term
demand for housing. The festive period has once again highlighted the
resilience of homebuyer sentiment, but the larger opportunity lies beyond
seasonal demand. With major infrastructure projects progressing and new growth
corridors opening up, the industry will need to remain responsive to changing
buyer preferences while contributing to a more integrated and sustainable MMR.”

Jitendra Mehta, Senior Vice President,
CREDAI-MCHI,said,“The past few months  has demonstrated how closely real estate is
linked to the broader economic story of Mumbai. Infrastructure-led growth, improving
connectivity and sustained consumer confidence have continued to support
housing demand, while evolving policy and financing conditions have also shaped
the market. Going forward, the opportunity is to build on this momentum and
ensure that housing supply keeps pace with the aspirations of a growing
metropolitan region, across segments and geographies.”

The AGM also reflected on CREDAI-MCHI’s
efforts over the past year to strengthen industry representation, address
member concerns and deliver measurable outcomes. A key milestone was the Real
Estate Leaders’ Convergence, which brought NAREDCO, BDA, PEATA and CREDAI-MCHI
together for the first time, leading to the formation of a Joint Task Force to
advance a unified reform agenda and the proposal for a Chief Minister’s
Committee to address industry concerns. The association highlighted key policy
outcomes, including an increase in the permissible area for fitness centres
under BMC norms from 2% to 4%, a deferment policy for Development Cess payments
with MHADA, and a four-month extension granted by MahaRERA, alongside its
intervention in the Supreme Court matter concerning Environmental Clearance in
violation cases while contributing ₹3.65 crore to the Chief Minister’s Relief
Fund and awarding ₹43.74 lakh in scholarships to 97 students. These initiatives
underscored the association’s commitment to unified advocacy, institutional
growth and community welfare. The 44th Annual General Meeting concluded with
networking and dinner, bringing together CREDAI-MCHI members and industry
leaders.

<description><![CDATA[ 

Chennai | 12 October
2026. Rajalakshmi School of Architecture (RSA), Chennai, celebrated
its  10th
Graduation Day  on  Saturday, 10 October 2026, recognising the
academic accomplishments of 39 graduates from 
the 2025 batch of Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.), Master of
Architecture (M.Arch.) in  Urban Design,
and Master of Architecture (M.Arch.) in Digital Architecture. 

The ceremony marked a significant
milestone in the academic journeys of the graduating  students, celebrating their dedication,
perseverance and readiness to embark on professional  careers in architecture and the built
environment. 

Ar. B. S. Murthy, Founder of PADGRO Consultants, Chennai,  graced the occasion as the  Chief Guest, delivered the Graduation Day
address, and presented medals and certificates to  the graduating students. An accomplished
architect and town planner with nearly five decades  of professional experience, he emphasised
that learning extends well beyond the completion of  a degree, with practical experience and
active engagement with the profession playing a vital  role in shaping successful architects.
Highlighting the significance of Pancha
Bhootha — the  five elements of
nature — he underscored the importance of designing built environments
that  respond sensitively to natural
elements and their influence on human life.

The ceremony was presided over
by  Mrs.
Tejshree Abhay Meganathan, Executive Director, 
Rajalakshmi Institutions . In her address, she highlighted the
responsibility of architects to  create
energy-efficient and climate-conscious built environments. She also observed
that  architecture is distinctive among
professional disciplines in that many students consciously  choose it immediately after completing
school, committing themselves to a rigorous five-year  programme. Commending their enthusiasm and
dedication, she expressed appreciation for 
graduates who continue to engage with the discipline through
professional architectural  practice. 

Prof. Ar. Madhanraja S, Principal, Rajalakshmi School of Architecture,  presented the 
Annual Report for the academic year 2025–2026, outlining the institution’s
academic progress,  research
contributions, faculty accomplishments and student achievements. 

Established in 2011 under the
Rajalakshmi Educational Trust, Rajalakshmi School of  Architecture continues to strengthen
architectural education through experiential learning,  research, innovation and industry engagement.
Its key academic initiatives include  STRIDE ,  which fosters student leadership and
collaborative learning;  ATTIIC 2025 , which brings  together architecture, technology and
sustainability; and  PRAYOGA 2026 , which promotes 
hands-on experimentation, material exploration and practice-oriented
learning.

The School’s academic
accomplishments include recognition under the 
Council of  Architecture’s Academic Resource Development
Scheme (ARDS) , doctoral research 
achievements, patent-related research and scholarly publications. Its
students have also earned  recognition
across academic, cultural and sporting activities, reflecting the institution’s  emphasis on holistic development. Graduates
and alumni continue to build professional careers  in reputed architectural practices and pursue
higher education at leading institutions in India  and abroad. 

The 10th Graduation Day
celebrated not only the academic achievements of the graduating  cohort but also the institution’s continuing
commitment to nurturing creative, technically 
competent, environmentally conscious and socially responsible
architects. Through its  emphasis on
design excellence, research, practical learning and sensitivity to the natural
and  built environment, Rajalakshmi
School of Architecture seeks to prepare its graduates to  contribute meaningfully to the future of
architecture and society. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ 

Pune, October 12, 2026: Gera Developments Private Limited (GDPL),
one of India’s leading real estate developers known for pioneering
category-defining innovations and the award-winning creators of premium
residential and commercial projects in Pune, Goa, Bengaluru, and California
(USA), has conducted the Bhumi Poojan for The Crown at Gera’s Isle Royale in
Bavdhan, Pune, marking the commencement of the next phase of the premium
residential development. The Crown at Gera’s Isle Royale
brings low-density living to the heart of its residential proposition, with
approximately 20 families per acre across the larger, roughly 10-acre Gera’s
Isle Royale development.

The Bhumi Poojan marks an important milestone for The Crown at Gera’s
Isle Royale, which has been conceived around the idea of creating more space
not just within the home, but also around it. With fewer families sharing the
overall development, the low-density approach is designed to offer greater
privacy, reduced crowding and noise, more open spaces and a stronger sense of
exclusivity.

The proposition comes at a time when homebuyers in Pune are
increasingly looking for larger homes and greater space, reflecting a broader
shift in residential preferences. Rather than measuring the quality of a
residence only by the size or the number of amenities, The Crown places equal
emphasis on the environment beyond the home as an important part of the living
experience.

Gulzar Malhotra, Chief Executive Officer, Gera Developments,
said, “The Bhumi Poojan of The Crown at Gera’s Isle Royale marks the beginning
of a project that is fundamentally about giving space a larger meaning. The
preference for larger homes is becoming increasingly visible in Pune. The
latest Gera Pune Residential Realty Report shows that sales of homes in the
1,401–1,600 sq. ft. category grew by 33%, while the 1,201–1,400 sq. ft.
category grew by 17%. At the same time, sales of homes in the 600–800 sq. ft.
category declined by 19%. This reflects a shift in how people are valuing
space. At The Crown at Gera’s Isle Royale, we have extended that thought beyond
the home itself, with approximately 20 families sharing an acre. The idea is to
create an environment where space, privacy and openness are an integral part of
everyday living.”

The Crown is the latest phase within Gera’s Isle Royale development
and comprises limited-edition 3.5- and 4.5-bedroom residences. The current plan
comprises 60 residences, extending the limited-community approach of the larger
development. Within the towers, only two apartments are planned per floor,
limiting the number of households sharing each level and creating a more
private residential experience.

The emphasis on privacy continues at the entrance to each residence,
with private elevators opening directly into the foyer. The homes are designed
around light, ventilation and views, with dual-side terraces, large sliding
windows and layouts that allow natural light and airflow through the spaces.
The architecture integrates the surrounding hills and greenery, with views
towards the Sahyadri landscape forming part of the living experience.

Located in Bavdhan, The Crown at Gera’s Isle Royale is set against the
backdrop of the Sahyadri hills while remaining connected to the city. The
development has been conceived as a low-density residential environment
designed around nature, with landscaped spaces and amenities complementing the
residential experience.

With the Bhumi Poojan now completed, The Crown marks the next stage in
the evolution of Gera’s Isle Royale, bringing together a limited residential
community, larger-format homes and a development approach centred on space and
privacy.

Gera Developments has been creating residential and commercial
developments for over five decades, with 64 projects spanning approximately 9
million sq. ft. under development and the trust of more than 10,000 customers.

<title>From Guesswork to Personalised Pricing: How Car Insurance Quotes Are Becoming Smarter in 2026</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/from-guesswork-to-personalised-pricing-how-car-insurance-quotes-are-becoming-smarter-in-2026</link>

<description><![CDATA[ 

Two
owners of the same model, same year, same city can now receive materially
different car insurance quotes. That looks arbitrary from the outside. It is
the visible edge of a long shift in how motor premiums are calculated in India,
moving from category-based pricing towards pricing built on the specific
vehicle and the specific driver.

The
regulatory groundwork was laid in stages. Own damage premiums have long been
free of tariff control, letting insurers price rather than follow a fixed
schedule. In July 2022, IRDAI permitted general insurers to introduce
technology-enabled options for the motor own damage cover, including ‘pay as
you drive’ and ‘pay how you drive’. Use-and-file and regulatory sandbox reforms
have since compressed the time it takes to bring a differentiated product to
market.

Why
Insurers Are Pushing Towards Precision

The
commercial pressure is straightforward. India’s general insurance industry
closed FY2026 with gross direct premium income of ₹3.36 lakh crore, up 9%
year-on-year, according to a Boston Consulting Group analysis. The same
analysis found the motor segment grew close to 9% even though auto sales rose
10.4%, as renewal-heavy portfolios limited the pass-through, while the industry
combined ratio moved to 113%.

A
combined ratio above 100 simply means insurers are paying out more in claims
and expenses than they collect in premiums, before any investment income. In
that environment, insurers cannot buy growth through broad discounting. The
only durable route is to price each risk more accurately, charging less where
the evidence supports it and more where it does not. Personalised pricing is,
in that sense, a margin discipline that happens to benefit low-risk drivers.

What
Actually Moves a Quote

●      Insured
Declared Value (IDV): The maximum own-damage payout; a lower IDV
lowers premium but also lowers what you receive.

●      No
Claim Bonus: Rises with each claim-free year, reaching up
to 50% after five consecutive claim-free years. Applies only to the own damage
portion of the premium.

●      Voluntary
Deductible: A higher self-borne amount reduces
premium and increases out-of-pocket cost at claim.

●      Geographic
Zone: Reflects local accident, theft and catastrophe
experience.

●      Add-ons
Selected: Zero depreciation, engine protection and
consumables each carry separate cost.

●      Declared
Usage or Driving Data: Under pay-as-you-drive and pay-how-you-drive
options, mileage and behaviour feed directly into pricing.

Quote,
Estimate and the Gap Between Them

The
distinction matters more than it sounds. An online estimate is an indicative
figure produced before underwriting inputs are confirmed. A quote is a priced
offer against a specific IDV, a declared no-claim bonus and a selected add-on
list. Customers frequently compare an estimate from one provider against a quote
from another and conclude, wrongly, that one insurer is cheaper.

The
disciplined way to compare is to hold three variables constant across every
quote: the IDV, the no-claim bonus being claimed, and the exact add-on list.
Vary any of those and the comparison collapses. It is also worth confirming
that the no-claim bonus carried forward matches the previous insurer’s record.
An overstated bonus is a common cause of a premium being revised upward after
issuance.

The
Data Question

Behaviour-linked
pricing runs on personal data, and telematics inputs such as location, speed,
braking and trip timing are personal data under the Digital Personal Data
Protection Act. Consent has to be specific and informed, and customers are
entitled to know what is collected, how long it is held, and how it translates
into a premium.

Subhasree
Nigamma, Head – Reserving, Motor Pricing and Analytics at Royal Sundaram,
added: “Personalisation only earns trust if it is decipherable. If a customer
cannot see which factor moved their premium, a lower price feels like luck and
a higher one feels like a penalty. Transparency is not a compliance exercise
here. It is the product.”

Taking
the Next Step

For
car owners, the practical takeaway is that the quote is becoming negotiable in
a way it was not a decade ago, not through haggling but through inputs.
Reviewing the IDV, protecting the no-claim bonus by absorbing small repairs,
choosing a deductible deliberately, and declaring realistic annual mileage
where usage-based options exist all move the number.

Insurers
such as Royal
Sundaram allow customers to adjust IDV, deductible and
add-ons while generating a car insurance quote online, making the trade-offs
visible before purchase rather than after a claim.

<description><![CDATA[ 

 Company underscores the importance of quality, product performance
and the right fit in building safer workplacesMumbai, October 10, 2026: VENUS Safety &amp; Health Pvt. Ltd., a leading Indian manufacturer

its range of safety helmets, protective eyewear, hearing protection,

its Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) systems and Supplied Airline

Commenting on the participation, Mahesh

workplace hazards, product performance, fit, comfort and compliance with
applicable safety standards. Selecting appropriate protective equipment and
ensuring that workers understand its correct use remain essential to
strengthening safety practices on the shop floor.

Through its participation, VENUS Safety
engaged with industry endusers, distributors and safety professionals on
evolving occupational safety requirements and the role of dependable PPE in
protecting workers across different applications. The company’s integrated
portfolio, spanning personal protection, specialised respiratory systems and
air filtration, reflects its continued focus on supporting industrial safety
needs through in-house manufacturing and product development capabilities.

<title>North Bengaluru’s Luxury Housing Market Strengthens as Century Real Estate Unveils The Astoria</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/north-bengalurus-luxury-housing-market-strengthens-as-century-real-estate-unveils-the-astoria</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/north-bengalurus-luxury-housing-market-strengthens-as-century-real-estate-unveils-the-astoria</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

The residential
address within North Bengaluru’s upcoming lifestyle destination, Century
Immencity, comprises 334 Neo Luxe Residences and has recorded ₹550+ crore in
bookings.

Bengaluru, 10 October 2026: As Bengaluru expands, its growth is increasingly being shaped by
multiple urban centres where workplaces, homes and everyday experiences can
exist closer together. North Bengaluru is emerging as one such centre,
supported by airport-led development, expanding commercial activity, NH-44
connectivity, upcoming Metro infrastructure and a growing ecosystem of schools,
healthcare, hospitality and recreation. 

Against this backdrop, Century Real
Estate is formally introducing  The Astoria at Century Immencity, its
premium residential development in Jakkur on International Airport Road. The
Astoria forms the residential address within Century Immencity, an
integrated lifestyle destination envisioned around human-centric urbanism,
bringing workplaces, residences, retail, hospitality, culture, recreation and
community into one interconnected environment. 

At the heart of Immencity is a simple idea:
that a growing city should not require people to spend an increasing share of
their lives travelling between the different parts of their day. The
development is therefore planned to bring work, living, leisure and social
experiences closer together, creating stronger connections between spaces that
are often developed in isolation.

Century Immencity is planned to include
close to 10 million sq. ft. of commercial development, alongside
residential spaces, high-street retail, hospitality and cultural and community
uses. At maturity, the district is expected to support over one lakh
professionals, creating a substantial employment, residential and lifestyle
ecosystem in North Bengaluru. 

A key element of Century Immencity’s
cultural and social vision is ‘The Old School’, envisioned as a vibrant hub for
community engagement and shared experiences. It is planned as a place for
culture and ideas, sport and wellness, food and social life, children’s
discovery and community interaction. Rather than treating culture and community
as standalone amenities, the intent is to make them part of the everyday
experience of the district.

The larger development has been shaped with
international design expertise, including DP Architects, Singapore and
BDP, London. Its planning philosophy places emphasis on pedestrian
movement, landscaped promenades and plazas, green spaces and social gathering
areas, with public realms acting as connective spaces between different uses
across the district. 

Within this environment, The
Astoria comprises an intentionally limited collection of 334 Neo Luxe
Residences across five towers. Spread across approximately 6 acres,
the development features around 75% open space, a ~40,000
sq. ft. clubhouse and a landscape-led amenity ecosystem. The residential
mix includes large-format 3-bedroom, 4-bedroom and penthouse residences,
with access to the broader commercial, hospitality, retail, cultural and social
ecosystem of Century Immencity. 

The Astoria also introduces Century Real
Estate&#039;s interpretation of Neo Luxe, built around three
principles: privacy, purpose and design. It reflects a more
considered approach to luxury, where the quality of everyday living is shaped
by spatial planning, comfort, natural light, cross ventilation and thoughtful
detailing rather than abundance for its own sake.

Maninder Chhabra, Director – Sales,
Marketing &amp; CRM, Century Real Estate, said, “The pre-launch journey of The Astoria has given us a strong sense
of the depth of demand for thoughtfully conceived premium residences in North
Bengaluru. What has been particularly encouraging is the level of engagement
from homebuyers even before the formal launch, reflecting their willingness to
evaluate a home through the lens of its long-term relevance, not just its
immediate features. The response to Astoria reinforces our confidence in the
market and in our approach to creating differentiated residential offerings for
the evolving Bengaluru homebuyer.” 

The Astoria was pre-launched in July 2026
as Codename Bluemoon. Since its pre-launch, the project has crossed
₹550 crore in bookings, driven by strong interest from Bengaluru’s elite
circles and reflecting a positive early response to the residential proposition
within Century Immencity. Its formal launch under The Astoria identity marks
the next phase of the development.

<title>KARAM Safety Highlights Advanced Workplace Safety Solutions and Innovations at OSH India 2026</title>

T-Line
wins best innovative Product of the year; company underscores the importance of
effective safety implementation and worker training

Mumbai, October 10, 2026 : KARAM
Safety Private Limited, a leading occupational safety solutions and personal
protective equipment (PPE) company, concluded its participation at OSH India
2026, held from October 7–9 at the Bombay Exhibition Centre, Goregaon, Mumbai.
The company showcased its comprehensive portfolio of workplace safety
solutions, reinforcing its focus on product innovation, technology integration
and the evolving requirements of industrial safety.

KARAM Safety presented its range of fall protection and personal
protective equipment, including harnesses, lanyards, helmets, safety footwear,
respiratory protection, hearing protection and hand protection. The showcase
highlighted the importance of adopting appropriate safety equipment and
strengthening workplace practices across industries, particularly in demanding
operational environments.

The company’s T-Line equipment was awarded the Best Innovative
Product of the Year at OSH India 2026, recognising KARAM Safety’s continued
focus on innovation in workplace safety. At the same time, the company
emphasised that effective safety depends not only on the right products but
also on how well safety measures are implemented on the ground.

Commenting on the evolving workplace safety landscape, Mr. Hemant
Sapra, President – Global Sales &amp; Marketing, KARAM Safety, said, “India
has made significant progress in safety awareness and standards, but the
challenge now is to implement them consistently across workplaces. In material
handling, risks such as falling loads, equipment failures and unsafe movement
of forklifts can lead to serious accidents. Proper operator training,
functioning safety alarms, adequate lighting, clear floor markings and
dedicated pathways for pedestrians and vehicles are fundamental to reducing
such incidents. Equally important is building a culture where workers
understand that personal protective equipment is essential to protecting their
lives and not merely a compliance requirement.”

KARAM Safety’s approach to innovation is closely informed by customer
requirements and operational challenges encountered across industries. The
company’s research and development team in Lucknow comprises 36 professionals
and has a pipeline of approximately 200 projects, and delivers around 40–50
projects annually. Customer feedback remains an important input in identifying
safety challenges and developing products and solutions to address emerging
workplace requirements.

The company’s participation at OSH India 2026 comes amid a significant
phase of strategic growth. In September 2026, KARAM Safety secured a landmark
investment of ₹600 crore from Motilal Oswal Alternates through its India
Business Excellence Fund V (IBEF V). The investment is intended to support the
company’s global mergers and acquisitions (M&amp;A) strategy, including
acquisitions across complementary product lines and technologies, while expanding
its international distribution and manufacturing footprint.

About KARAM Safety

KARAM Safety is a leading global occupational safety brand with a vast
portfolio of over 3,800 certified products that conform to multiple national
and international standards. The company exports its safety solutions to over
140 nations and has a team of over 4,500 professionals who relentlessly

<title>CXOs Review ‘The Fifth Estate’ by Pavan Kaushik: Why Communication Experts on Company Boards Matter for Business and Stakeholder Confidence</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/cxos-review-the-fifth-estate-by-pavan-kaushik-why-communication-experts-on-company-boards-matter-for-business-and-stakeholder-confidence</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/cxos-review-the-fifth-estate-by-pavan-kaushik-why-communication-experts-on-company-boards-matter-for-business-and-stakeholder-confidence</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

New Delhi: Author Pavan Kaushik’s ‘The Fifth
Estate: Corporate Communication’ makes a clear case for recognising Corporate
Communication as an institution rather than a function—one that increasingly
influences trust, reputation, leadership credibility, stakeholder confidence
and organisational resilience.

‘The Fifth Estate’ takes this
evolution a step further by arguing that Corporate Communication experts should
have a place at the Board level, including as Independent Directors, given the
growing importance of trust, reputation, stakeholder confidence and
organisational communication to business outcomes.

Pavan Kaushik, a
Communication Economist and Advisor to Founders &amp; CXOs in critical sectors,
says: “My question is simple: If a communication expert understands the
business, governance and regulatory responsibilities of the Board; possesses
the required financial, legal, operational and industry expertise; and brings a
deeper understanding of stakeholders, reputation and organisational
communication, why not have such an expert on the Board as an Independent
Director? That combination adds another dimension to independent judgement—what
I call Communication Economies.”

He is also registered as an
Independent Director in the Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA)
Databank, supporting his Board-level perspective on communication, reputation
and stakeholder trust.

‘The Fifth Estate’ is written
for promoters, founders, chairpersons, CEOs, CXOs, Board members and
communication professionals.

The proposition has prompted
responses from CXOs and senior industry professionals who have read ‘The Fifth
Estate’, with their reviews highlighting the changing role of Corporate
Communication and its growing relevance to leadership, trust, reputation and
stakeholder confidence.

Dr. Sunil Duggal, CEO -
Bhumi Ventures and former CEO of Vedanta Group and Hindustan Zinc, brings his experience as a business
leader and Independent Director to his review of the book.

“The Fifth Estate: Corporate
Communication is a book that was long overdue. It makes a compelling case for
Corporate Communication to evolve beyond a support function into a strategic
institution built around trust, reputation, leadership credibility and
stakeholder confidence. Its arguments are practical and grounded in real
business experience, with its perspectives on crisis management, leadership
voice, reputation, trust and human judgment particularly relevant in today’s
business environment. For promoters, chairpersons, CEOs, CXOs, Board members
and communication professionals, The Fifth Estate challenges conventional
thinking and reinforces a critical reality: Corporate Communication is no
longer about communicating business—it is increasingly about shaping trust,
reputation and long-term organisational sustainability”, says Dr. Sunil Duggal.

Chirag Warty, Chief
Product Officer - Ved Sanjeevani, says: &quot;The reframing of communication as an institution rather than
a function is the genuinely useful shift here, because most organisations still
budget for it as an output while expecting it to behave like infrastructure. In
cyclical and commodity businesses in particular, the gap between operating
performance and perceived performance is where a surprising amount of
enterprise value quietly sits, and it tends to be discovered only during a
crisis or a transaction. The stakeholder set has also widened well beyond investors
and regulators, which is precisely why the discipline can no longer sit
downstream of strategy.”

Dr. Gobinda Pahari, Vice
President &amp; Site Head - Aditya Birla Insulators, says: “I read this book on Sunday, and I found it
to be one of the simplest, most relevant, and thought-provoking books I have
come across. Its language and simplicity make the ideas remarkably relatable.
What stood out to me is that many of the insights go beyond corporate
communication and connect strongly with leadership, organisational culture, and
everyday professional life. Several lines made me pause and rethink how I
approach my day-to-day responsibilities as a leader. One thought that
particularly stayed with me was: The most credible employer brand is built by
employees, not advertisements.”

Kruttika Dwivedi, Manager
- Deloitte observes: “The
Fifth Estate: Corporate Communication clearly says that in today’s world,
communication can make or break an organisation. It is no longer merely a
support function - it has become a differentiating pillar of business, shaping
trust, reputation and how an organisation is perceived by its stakeholders.”

Griselda Pinto,
Independent Communications &amp; Content Strategist, highlights the preventive dimension of
communication. She says - “One thought brought to mind is that Corporate
Communication derives its greatest value not by managing crises, but by helping
to prevent them in the first place.” 

Maya M, Global Strategic
Partnerships Manager at Lakshya Consultancy Services, focuses on the strategic transition.  ]]></description>

The Company’s expansion in modern trade
comes at a significant milestone, with its equity shares commencing trading on
the NSE Emerge SME Platform on October 7, 2026 under the symbol PAPADMALJI.

With consumers increasingly shifting
towards organised retail, quick commerce and branded packaged food products,
Papadmalji Agro Foods is looking to leverage its manufacturing capabilities,
expanding distribution network and multi-brand portfolio to deepen its presence
across markets.

The Company believes that a stronger modern
trade footprint can provide greater product visibility, wider consumer access
and opportunities to scale its brands beyond traditional retail channels.

<description><![CDATA[ 

~The showcase brings together AI agents
running on devices, AI processing across the device, edge and cloud, and live
integrated sensing on a commercial 5G network on the road to AI-native 6G

NEW DELHI, India, October 9, 2026 : At the 10th edition of India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2026 at
Yashobhoomi, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. is demonstrating how connectivity and
computing are converging to power the next era of agentic AI. Through its
“Connectivity Plus Compute” approach, Qualcomm is bringing intelligence closer
to where data is generated - across devices, the edge and the cloud - enabled
by reliable, high-performance networks. This distributed architecture enables
AI systems to understand context, make decisions and take action in real time,
laying the foundation for more capable, responsive and AI-native experiences.

Commenting on the showcase, Rajen Vagadia,
President, Qualcomm India, said: “6G is being designed to be AI-native,
with networks that integrate connectivity and compute. The adoption of agentic
AI will significantly increase demand for both. Trust, security, and
affordability will be fundamental to scaling agentic AI and meeting them will
require workloads to be distributed intelligently across endpoints, devices,
the network, and the cloud. Our showcase at IMC offers a glimpse of this
transformation, including AI agents running across devices.”

From connectivity to connectivity plus compute

Traditionally, networks were built primarily
around connectivity, with compute playing a supporting role. As agentic AI
drives demand for compute, the network is no longer simply a connectivity layer
– it becomes connectivity plus compute. Alongside hyperscalers and cloud
providers, telecom operators will increasingly become part of this distributed
compute ecosystem, with AI processing shared across the device, edge and cloud.
Qualcomm&#039;s showcase at IMC brings this architecture to life.

Key highlights at the Qualcomm booth

AI agents on the device: Smartphones, earbuds, glasses, pendants and other emerging form
factors will increasingly serve as interfaces for AI agents, with some AI
processing happening directly on the device. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen
6 can run mixture-of-experts models of up to 30 billion parameters on a
smartphone, and booth demonstrations show AI agents running directly on
devices.

Disaggregation of inference: In what Qualcomm calls the disaggregation of inference, part of the
AI processing happens on the device and part across the edge or cloud,
depending on the task. This helps balance performance, affordability, security
and scalability. Qualcomm&#039;s data centre showcase highlights energy-efficient
computing designed for AI inference and agentic workloads.

AI-native networks and integrated sensing: As 6G is designed to be AI-native, AI functionality will increasingly
be integrated into the radio access network (RAN), creating new compute
requirements within the network itself. Agentic RAN Management, part of the
Qualcomm Dragonwing RAN Automation Suite, interprets high-level intent,
analyses network conditions and coordinates execution with human oversight. In
collaboration with Tejas Networks, a live Integrated Sensing and Communication
(ISAC) demonstration shows how a commercial 5G base station can combine
communication with object detection and tracking. This lays a foundation for
applications such as traffic management and drone and vehicle tracking. Sensing
capabilities demonstrated on 5G today are expected to become more deeply
integrated into 6G, generating new AI and compute workloads of their own.

Edge AI for industry: Processing data close to its source allows AI systems to respond
quickly to changing conditions. An autonomous mobile robot reasons and responds
in real time. A predictive maintenance demonstration with Nagarro, running on
an edge device powered by the Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ9 Series, analyses machine
data to identify anomalies and anticipate failures, helping operators reduce
downtime. An interactive smart mirror demonstration illustrates edge AI in
everyday settings.

Intelligent mobility: The new Mahindra BE 6 SPORTEQ, powered by Snapdragon Cockpit Platform
showcases Mahindra&#039;s Artificial Intelligence Architecture (MAIA) demonstrating
contextual in-car interactions, showing how Snapdragon-powered cockpit AI
brings personalised experiences to Indian consumers.

Together, these demonstrations connect
capabilities available today with Qualcomm&#039;s work towards AI-native 6G, where
the network becomes an intelligent, distributed compute fabric – not just a
connectivity network.

Visitors can experience the demonstrations at
the Qualcomm Booth A10, Hall 2, Yashobhoomi, until October 10.

<title>Explurger and Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board Join Forces to Power 100 Destinations with NiVU AI</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/explurger-and-madhya-pradesh-tourism-board-join-forces-to-power-100-destinations-with-nivu-ai</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/explurger-and-madhya-pradesh-tourism-board-join-forces-to-power-100-destinations-with-nivu-ai</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

Bhopal, October 9, 2026:
Explurger and the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board have joined forces under a
landmark three-year Memorandum of Understanding to deploy NiVU AI across 100
tourism destinations in the state, bringing conversational artificial
intelligence directly into the visitor experience.

Announced at MP Travel Mart 2026 in Bhopal, the partnership
will introduce NiVU AI across temples, forts, heritage landmarks, wildlife
destinations and cultural attractions, creating an intelligent layer that helps
travellers discover, understand and explore Madhya Pradesh more interactively.

Explurger has also been designated the Official AI &amp; Social
Media Partner of the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board for the programme.

The MoU was signed and exchanged by Jitin Bhatia, Founder &amp;
CEO, Explurger, in the presence of Dr. Mohan Yadav, Hon’ble Chief
Minister, Madhya Pradesh; Shri Dharmendra Singh Lodhi, Hon’ble Tourism Minister;
Shri Ashok Barnwal, Chief Secretary, Government of Madhya Pradesh; Dr.
Ilayaraja T., Managing Director, Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board; and Dr. Abhay
Arvind Bedekar, IAS, Additional Managing Director, Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board,
along with senior officials and dignitaries.

The programme will begin with 30 flagship destinations in its first
year, jointly finalised by Explurger and the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board
within 90 days of signing, before expanding to 100 destinations over the three
years.

Through QR-enabled NiVU AI touchpoints, visitors can interact with an
AI-powered travel companion through voice or text in 130+ languages.
Travellers can ask questions, uncover destination stories, explore history and
culture, discover nearby attractions, find local experiences and uncover hidden
gems.

NiVU AI is designed to go beyond static information boards, creating
an interactive layer around destinations and helping visitors discover more
than a single attraction.

The programme will also create an aggregated and anonymised tourism
intelligence layer, providing insights into visitor interactions,
questions, languages, interests and engagement patterns. These insights can
support destination planning, visitor engagement and future tourism
development.

The partnership expands Explurger’s growing AI tourism footprint,
following its work with Andhra Pradesh and Goa to introduce
technology-enabled visitor experiences at destinations.

“The future of tourism will not be defined by technology alone, but by
how intelligently it connects people with places. With NiVU AI across 100
destinations, we are building that future in Madhya Pradesh — making every
destination more interactive, accessible and discoverable,” said Jitin
Bhatia, Founder &amp; CEO, Explurger.

The Madhya Pradesh partnership represents one of NiVU AI’s largest
deployments to date, expanding the platform from individual destination
touchpoints into a broader, state-wide tourism ecosystem.

The initiative also connects Madhya Pradesh with Explurger’s growing
global community of 25Mn+ users across 75+ countries, creating another
channel through which travellers from India and around the world can discover
the state’s heritage, spirituality, wildlife and cultural experiences.

As artificial intelligence increasingly moves from digital discovery
into the physical travel experience, the partnership aims to create a more
conversational, intelligent and connected model for destination discovery. With
NiVU AI, travellers can go beyond simply reading about a place. They can ask,
discover, understand, and explore — bringing intelligence directly into the

<title>ZOYA REWRITES THE LANGUAGE OF HIGH JEWELLERY, INSPIRED BY INDIA’S SPICES AS KEEPERS OF MEMORY,  WITH ANOUSHKA SHANKAR AS ITS MUSE</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 

Mumbai, October 8, 2026: ZOYA, the
luxury jewellery atelier from the Tata Group, unveils Her Again,
a new High Jewellery collection that reinterprets one of India’s most
enduring cultural languages, its spices - through ZOYA’s distinctive design
lens. Drawing from the rituals and memories that connect us to our past, the
collection explores the intimate journey of a woman returning to herself. ZOYA
brings this essential Indian craft story to life through gemstone mastery and a
distinctive design language, in an alchemy of expressive colour, unusual stones
and intricate craftsmanship. ZOYA transforms a familiar part of India’s
cultural landscape into a distinctive expression of High Jewellery.

The golden warmth of turmeric, the deep red of mace, cardamom green
and the richness of saffron and rose become passages into memory. Colour
awakens the many facets within her: curious, playful, spontaneous, expressive
and deeply feminine.  Rubellite, emerald,
Madeira Citrine, Orissa rose garnet, golden heliodor and yellow sapphire create
an unexpected, saturated palette that echoes the colours of spice and memory.
Set in intricate compositions and shaped through thousands of hours of
craftsmanship, these natural gemstones reimagining familiar cultural references
into High Jewellery.

The campaign finds a cultural voice in Internationally acclaimed
sitarist and composer Anoushka Shankar. Having shaped a distinctive musical
language across cultures and genres, she carries her Indian heritage into an
evolving creative practice that is deeply personal and unmistakably her own.

Speaking about the collection, Anoushka Shankar said, “What I
love about ZOYA is the way it takes what we inherit and allows it to evolve
through colour, gemstones and craft. I’ve always believed you can be deeply
rooted in a culture and still speak to the world in a way that feels relevant,
simply through the lens of your own experience. ZOYA captures that beautifully,
creating pieces that feel timeless in spirit, yet fresh, inventive and entirely
their own.”

“India offers an extraordinary source of inspiration for jewellery
design, from its rich cultural heritage and vibrant colours to the materials
and craftsmanship that have shaped its visual language over centuries. At ZOYA,
we see an opportunity to reinterpret these influences through a distinctive
design lens, creating High Jewellery where meaning and emotional resonance are
as integral as rarity and artistry,” said Arun Narayan, Chief Executive
Officer – Jewellery, Titan Company Limited. “Her Again reflects this
approach, drawing from India’s richness and diversity while expressing it in a
way that is contemporary, personal, and unmistakably our own. Anoushka Shankar
embodies this vision through a creative journey that has continually found new
and imaginative expressions of her Indian influences, bringing them to global
audiences with authenticity and artistic depth.” 

With Her Again, ZOYA brings a familiar sensory world into a new
light. Through the interplay of gemstones, colour and craft, the collection
gives form to the memories we carry and the parts of ourselves we return to.

A SELECTION FROM THE COLLECTION: 

ZOYA’s Eternal Ember Necklace: India’s sensory memory reimagined in
High Jewellery. 

Eternal Ember is a vivid expression of India’s palette of color and
spices translated into 748 stones and sculpted into movement. At its heart, a
remarkable 5.4-carat Cabochon Mandarin Garnet glows in saturated orange,
recalling the golden richness of turmeric and marigold blooms. Around it, a
vibrant composition of rare gemstones like Sapphire, rubellite, and Citrines
evoke the warmth and intensity of Indian spice. 102 individually crafted
elements, brought to life over 2,112 hours, form a fluid, three-dimensional
architecture. When In motion, the diamonds set within the sculptural forms of
the necklace catch and reflect the light, revealing shifting layers of
brilliance and colour. Eternal Ember turns spice, memory and craftsmanship into
a singular expression of High Jewellery: vivid, feminine and unmistakably ZOYA.

ZOYA’s Afterglow Ring : A luminous interplay of colour, form and
texture.

The Afterglow Ring brings a vivid 2.7-carat Rubellite into focus, set
within custom-cut matte Rock Crystal and framed by sculptural tendrils inspired
by mace. Zambian Emeralds echo the form of cardamom, creating a rich dialogue
of crimson, green and translucent light.

Intricate stone-on-stone craftsmanship brings the composition
together, giving the ring its layered depth and distinctive radiance. A jewel
where spice-inspired forms meet an unexpected alchemy of colour.

ZOYA’s Unbound Bangle: A celebration of colour, freedom and
expression.

<title>Powell Buckles Up Pan&#45;India Sales of Homoeopathy Division to Power National AYUSH Ambition</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/powell-buckles-up-pan-india-sales-of-homoeopathy-division-to-power-national-ayush-ambition</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/powell-buckles-up-pan-india-sales-of-homoeopathy-division-to-power-national-ayush-ambition</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

Kolkata, October 8, 2026 : In
a decisive move aligned with the Ministry of AYUSH&#039;s ambitious target of
achieving USD 213 billion by 2030 for the sector, legacy homoeopathy major
Powell Group has announced a renewed and aggressive push to bolster its
Pan-India and export sales for its Homoeopathy Division.

Prof. Dr. Soumik Banerjee, MSc, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer of the
company, said Powell is reorganising with renewed vigour to significantly
contribute to this National Mission. &quot;We are inspired by the Government&#039;s
vision and want to be a meaningful contributor to it,&quot; he said.

The strategy is being driven under the leadership and guidance of MD
&amp; CEO Dr. Sudipta Narayan Roy. The company is now leveraging evidence-based
AYUSH medicines and sharply increasing investments in clinical validations of
its products. His vision, Prof. Banerjee said, is to align the company with the
national ambition and mainstreaming of AYUSH through scientific validation.

Carrying forward a rich legacy, Powell was founded by Late Prof. Dr.
Sailendra Nath Roy, a visionary in the AYUSH healthcare sector. The same
ideology and philosophy are being carried forward with commitment by Co-founder
and Chairperson of the Group, Dr. Rita Roy, who continues to anchor the
organisation in its core values of trust, science and service.

What makes Powell a distinctive and investable model for stakeholders
is its unparalleled repertoire of almost 30,000 generic SKUs, a manufacturing
depth few in the sector can match. To fuel its next phase of growth into
diverse verticals, the company has also tied up with Dubai-based financial
consultancy firm SR LLC-FZ for the exploration of FDI and global partnerships.

Prof. Banerjee added that the immediate focus is on aggressive scaling
in the Homoeopathy market. In line with this, the company has appointed Mr.
Shovan Chaule as SBU Head of the Homoeopathy Division. A Gold Medalist in
Pharmaceutical Technology and a management graduate from Delhi University, Mr.
Chaule started his career at Lupin, later held key managerial positions at Abbott
and other leading brands, and for over a decade served in senior management
roles in Homoeopathy companies, including WSI, a German Homoeopathy MNC. His
experience and expertise will be deployed for aggressive market expansion of
the division.

Adding to the growth narrative, Dr. Subrata Chatterjee, MD, PhD,
presently Medical Director of the company and Former Executive Director &amp;
CEO of Allen Labs, said the company is prudently exploring high-potential
verticals like OTC &amp; FMCG with Ayurvedic products, anticipating a
substantial market share in the burgeoning AYUSH segment.

With scientific leadership, a legacy of five decades, a massive
product portfolio and fresh leadership infusion, Powell is positioning itself
not just as a participant but as a frontrunner in India&#039;s AYUSH growth story -
a promising proposition for investors and stakeholders alike. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ 

●       
Introduces a twin-film campaign: debuts during
India vs. West Indies T20 match on Star Sports HD and JioHotstar

Mumbai, 8th
October 2026:  JSW
Dulux Limited, one of India’s leading paint and coatings companies, has
unveiled its latest campaign for  Dulux
Velvet Touch Eterna , bringing alive a new expression of luxury through the
world of premium home décor and interiors. Built around the brand promise  ‘A Stroke Unmatched’ , the campaign
celebrates sophisticated spaces where aesthetics, design and thoughtful details
come together to create an elevated sense of luxury.

With Dulux Velvet
Touch Eterna , the campaign moves beyond the traditional role of paint to
explore its place within the larger canvas of luxury interiors. As the flagship
face of the iconic Velvet Touch portfolio, Eterna brings an elevated expression
of home décor, inspiring consumers to create spaces that reflect personal taste
and sophistication. Through two films, the brand brings alive an immersive
world where architecture, furnishings, colours and visual details come together
to create interiors that feel distinctive and refined.

Here is the link of the
campaign – https://youtu.be/X503R74tsnY

The twin films take
viewers through an increasingly extravagant visual journey, moving across grand
interiors and dreamlike settings before bringing the focus back to the beauty
of the space itself. The creative treatment captures the thought luxury does
not need to be overstated. Eterna’s rich sheen finish and lasting richness and
vibrancy complement this visual language.

Rajiv Rajgopal, Joint
Managing Director &amp; CEO, JSW Dulux ,
said, “At JSW Dulux, our aim has always been to create products and
experiences that enable consumers to bring their aspirational homes that
reflect individuality, sophistication and a distinct sense of style to life.
Dulux Velvet Touch Eterna’s new campaign captures this vision, of combining our
expertise in Luxury décor with elevated expression of luxury.”

Commenting on the new
campaign  Ms. Vandana Krishnia, CMO,
JSW Dulux Limited, said, “With this campaign, we wanted to bring the
world of Dulux Velvet Touch Eterna to life in a way that feels as elevated and
distinctive as the product itself. The idea was to take consumers on a visual
journey through extraordinary expressions of luxury.”

The campaign will roll
out nationally, spanning television and digital platforms. The TVC premiered
on  October 6, 2026 , during the
live broadcast of the India vs. West Indies T20 across Star Sports HD and
JioHotstar. It will then run across leading General Entertainment Channels,
News and digital platforms for the next six weeks, with adaptations across
formats.

<title>Teamplus Staffing Solution Pvt. Ltd. Is the Best AI Staffing &amp;amp; Recruitment Company Award Winner at World Business Conclave 2026</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/teamplus-staffing-solution-pvt-ltd-is-the-best-ai-staffing-recruitment-company-award-winner-at-world-business-conclave-2026</link>

<description><![CDATA[ 

Winner of the Best Use
of Technology to Improve Recruitment, enabling faster hiring and better jobs.
The process of hiring works better when organizations quickly find a perfect
fit or talented people for the job role to meet the business requirements. For
several years, Teamplus Staffing Solution Pvt. Ltd. has worked to bring both
sides together, matching employers with talent while keeping the process fast,
clear, and fair.

The effort has now been
recognized at the national level. Teamplus Staffing Solution Pvt. Ltd. has been
honored with the Best AI Staffing &amp; Recruitment Company
Award at World Business Conclave 2026, in recognition of the impact its work
has had on the productivity of the businesses it serves.

Teamplus performed well
in all three parameters that are used by the jury to shortlist an organization
for the award, which are how well they use technology to work efficiently, how
well they serve their clients and candidates, and the impact they make on their
industry. Teamplus performed strongly on all three. This award was presented at
World Business Conclave 2026, a platform that brings together business leaders,
founders, industry experts, and service providers from across the world. 

Why Teamplus Was Chosen

Several reasons help
build Teamplus India&#039;s strong position in the field of staffing and
recruitment. The recruitment process can sometimes be tiring as well as
discouraging. A company advertises for a job, and then applicants start to
apply, so all the weight of recruitment falls on the shoulders of the
recruiter; then selecting the perfect talent is sometimes overlooked, and
opportunities get missed. 

 

According to Storyboard
18, “The report found that 74 percent of recruiters in India are struggling to
find qualified candidates in 2026, even as hiring activity remains strong at
around 40 percent above pre-pandemic levels. Recruiters cited a growing quality
issue, noting that while application volumes have risen sharply, many
submissions are not relevant or useful.”

 

This is where Teamplus
works magnificently to reduce the manual work and help recruiters select the
desired and talented candidate by using the new technology. It screens CVs,
pinpoints the skill-specification match, and shortlists the best-fit
candidates. The recruiters do the tasks that machines can&#039;t, like talking to
the candidates, providing guidance on their career ambitions, and guiding them
and the clients through the interview process up to that all-important job
offer.

At Teamplus, the tech
is just a helping hand. It does the initial screening and other tests, and the
final decision is with humans. All profiles that qualify for the interview go
by the HR head and the manager to see the other skills that aren’t mentioned in
the CV, such as communication skills, behavior, problem-solving tactics, and a
positive attitude toward the job.

How the Process Works

We start every
assignment with a deep, detailed conversation with our client to understand
their business requirements. Having details regarding job roles, vacant
positions, the work environment, key skills needed, and what type of candidate
they are looking for makes the search easy. This gives the search the right
direction from day one and helps the company deliver relevant profiles instead
of a large pile of resumes.

When a vacancy arises,
we advertise extensively and conduct a thorough selection process to assess the
skills, experience, and motivation of all applicants. The recruiter then briefs
the client about the shortlisted profiles. We also reach out to each candidate
personally to ensure they understand the role and know what to expect from the
interview. Interviews are scheduled quickly, and both the hiring manager and
the candidate are kept informed every step of the way.

Services for Businesses of Every Size

Teamplus
India supports businesses of all sizes by providing flexible staffing solutions
for in-office, remote, and hybrid teams. For small businesses operating without
a dedicated HR department, we step in and assist by providing a dedicated HR
team, managing the entire hiring process from the initial candidate search to
onboarding. Beyond standard hiring, our core expertise includes managing
high-volume recruitment, filling specialized or hard-to-fill positions, and
handling project-based staffing.

A Fairer Experience for Job Seekers

In many staffing
companies, the major focus stays on the employer only, and the voice of the
candidate goes unheard. However, Teamplus India takes a different approach,
where we make clear communication with talent and take their feedback
positively and guide them, assisting them with building skills that are
required for their suitable job role. The company believes a job is only a good
one when the candidate can grow in it and stay with it.

<title>Rare’Z from The House of Rare introduces DUST &#45; a sneaker designed to collect a life of its own</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 

DUST brings together archival-inspired detailing and a story that
traces back to 2014.

Priced at ₹7,499/-

Available at:
Available across stores nationwide, on the website, and the app

October 2026: Some things become more interesting with age.
The marks, the movement, the places they have been - they become part of the
story. DUST, the latest sneaker from Rare’Z, the premium footwear
label from The House of Rare, is built around exactly that idea.

Drawing from the visual language of sporting culture, DUST
looks at sport through a distinctly fashion-led lens. Rather than recreate the
past, it takes the silhouettes, attitude and character of sporting icons and
reworks them for the contemporary wardrobe.

The name DUST comes from what happens when something has lived
a little. An old football shoe, a well-worn trainer, a favourite pair that has
travelled everywhere with you - the wear becomes part of its identity. DUST
embraces that sense of evolution, with the belief that a sneaker does not have
to remain pristine to become more valuable. Some characters are designed. The
rest is earned.

There is another layer of history built into the sneaker. The House
of Rare began in 2014, and DUST carries that year as a quiet signature
throughout the design - a reference to where the house began, while looking
firmly towards where it is going next.

That idea of movement and sporting legacy is further brought to life
through The House of Rare’s first collaboration with a sportsperson,
mountaineer Arjun Vajpai. The youngest person to climb Mount Everest and
Mount Lhotse, a Guinness World Record holder, the first Indian to summit eight
8,000-metre peaks and author of On Top of the World, Arjun brings a
sporting journey defined by endurance, ambition and the instinct to keep going.
DUST and Arjun represent different expressions of the same idea - a respect
for what came before, and the desire to go beyond it.

Every layer has a story

The design of DUST begins with the archive, but doesn&#039;t stay there.
The sneaker brings together three distinct leather finishes - cracked,
milled and smooth, within a single silhouette, creating contrast, depth and the
layered character of an old favourite.

The details continue the story. A Japanese-print lining adds an
unexpected interior detail, while the sole references 2014 and a Rare’Z
medal serves as a considered signature. The collection unfolds across two
expressions - a contrast-toe leather sneaker and a retro-racer
silhouette - each interpreting sporting heritage through a contemporary
fashion lens.

For Mr. Manish Poddar, Founder &amp; Creative Director, The House
of Rare &amp; Rare’Z, DUST was an opportunity to approach sport through the
language of design.

“We wanted DUST to have a sense of familiarity without feeling
nostalgic for the sake of it. There is something very appealing about sporting
footwear that has been lived in — it develops an attitude of its own. We
brought that feeling into a contemporary Rare’Z silhouette, with the details
and materials working together to give it that same sense of character.”

Designed for those who see sneakers as an extension of personal style,
DUST brings together sport, nostalgia and design without feeling bound to any
one of them. It is made for everyday life - for movement, repetition and the inevitable
marks that come with wearing something often.

DUST is available in six colourways - Dark Navy, Black, Dusky
Purple, Green, Sky Blue and White - in India/UK sizes 6–11 (EU 40–45).

Love it. Age it. Go beyond.

<title>Limited Rounds Remain for Cohort 12: IIT Bombay–WashU Executive MBA Round 4 Extended till October 18</title>

<description><![CDATA[  



With only a
few admission rounds left before the January 2027 cohort fills, senior
professionals are encouraged to apply early

Admissions
for the 12th cohort of the IIT Bombay - Washington University in St. Louis
Executive MBA are entering their final stretch. Only a few rounds remain before
admissions close for this cohort, with the last round ending in November. Seats
are limited, so applying in an earlier round gives candidates a better chance
of securing a place in the January 2027 class.

The
admissions push comes at a milestone moment. With ten batches now graduated and
an eleventh cohort in progress, the program has built on a carefully planned
partnership between two leading institutions to become one of the most
distinctive executive education offerings in Asia.

A
decade of cohorts, one unique degree

The program
is a joint venture between IIT Bombay&#039;s Shailesh J. Mehta School of Management
and Washington University&#039;s Olin Business School. From the start, its central
promise has been rare: it is the only Executive MBA program in the world that
confers a joint degree from both an Indian and an American university. Its
design follows a proven model, mirroring the content and structure of
Washington University&#039;s internationally recognized sister programs in the
United States and China.

The program
marked its tenth year in January 2025. Batch 10, launched on January 15, 2025,
included senior managers, CEOs, entrepreneurs and directors from organisations
such as Oracle India, Aditya Birla Group, Reliance Industries, HDFC Bank,
Godrej Industries, Apple India, Adani and TCS, with an average of 17 years of
work experience across more than 15 industries. A year later, the 11th cohort
was launched at the IIT Bombay campus on January 14, 2026. Its members come
from technology, manufacturing, finance, consulting, healthcare, energy and
consumer businesses, and they also average 17 years of professional experience.

Rising
in the global rankings

The program
has climbed steadily in international rankings. In the QS Executive MBA
Rankings for joint programmes, it rose from 24th in 2022 to 22nd in 2023, 18th
in 2024 and 16th globally in 2025. Leadership has set a higher target. At the
Batch 11 launch, Prof. Dinesh Sharma said the program&#039;s next leap is to enter
the global top five.

Alumni
who lead

A decade of
graduates has built a strong alumni community. Graduates now hold senior roles
across industries and geographies, from the C-suite of multinational
corporations to leadership positions in entrepreneurial ventures. The program&#039;s
own leadership is part of that story: Gopal Shukla, an alumnus of the IIT
Bombay-WashU EMBA, serves as CEO of the IIT Bombay-WashU Joint Venture.

Graduates
also join a network that spans both universities. The program offers alumni
status and privileges of both universities, and its career services team
provides one-on-one career coaching as a lifetime benefit for alumni.

Built
for working leaders

The
18-month program fits around demanding careers. Classes take place at the IIT
Bombay campus in Mumbai in four-day residential sessions each month, from
Thursday to Sunday. The international component includes residencies in
Washington, D.C. and St. Louis, with sessions at the Brookings Institution. The
curriculum covers leadership, strategy, finance, marketing and operations, and
participants also receive one-on-one leadership coaching.

“Our aim is
to give every participant a strong learning experience during these 18 months,”
said Gopal Shukla, CEO
of the IIT Bombay - WashU Joint Venture. “I believe this program will help
them grow personally and professionally, build confidence and become better
prepared for the opportunities and challenges ahead.”

Apply
before seats fill

The program
is designed for CEOs, directors, business heads, entrepreneurs and senior
managers who want to grow as leaders while continuing to work. With only a few
rounds left and limited seats in Cohort 12, candidates are encouraged to apply
in Round 4 rather than wait for the final round.

Apply by
October 18, 2026

If you are
ready to build the strategic and leadership depth for your next role or
venture, Cohort 12 is still open. Admissions follow the program&#039;s selection
process.

<title>Anjali Gold was recognised at the 45th IBA Dubai as the brand continues its long running conversation around food purity and adulteration</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/anjali-gold-was-recognised-at-the-45th-iba-dubai-as-the-brand-continues-its-long-running-conversation-around-food-purity-and-adulteration</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/anjali-gold-was-recognised-at-the-45th-iba-dubai-as-the-brand-continues-its-long-running-conversation-around-food-purity-and-adulteration</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Dubai, UAE, October 2026 : A journey that began with a simple
concern about the purity of everyday food has now found recognition on an
international stage. Aaryan Saxena, CEO and Co-Founder of Anjali Gold, was honoured at the 45th
edition of the Inspiring Business Awards in Dubai, held at Taj Business Bay.

The recognition comes at a significant time for Anjali Gold,
which is expanding beyond its identity as a mustard oil brand to establish
itself as a purity-first Indian food company built around one larger purpose:
the fight against food adulteration.

Aaryan has been closely involved in taking forward the
vision originally started by his mother and Anjali Gold Founder and Brand
Ambassador Anjali Saxena.

The story began in 2015 when Anjali started questioning the
purity of everyday food being consumed by her own family. She decided to begin
with the first thing that goes into the kadai, the cooking oil. What initially
started for her own home gradually became a larger idea, and Anjali Gold was
formally launched in 2018.

The same year also marked the beginning of the brand’s Fight
Against Adulteration, at a time when conversations around food adulteration had
far less mainstream consumer attention than they have today.

Over the years, Aaryan has worked on taking that original
thought beyond the product itself, through consumer awareness campaigns,
digital initiatives, quick commerce, sports associations and direct public
engagement.

Speaking after receiving the recognition, Aaryan said that
the award was meaningful because it represented a journey that was never
intended to be only about building another consumer brand.

He said that Anjali
Gold started with a very personal concern inside one family and has
gradually grown into a larger responsibility. For him, the real achievement
will be when consumers begin asking more questions about the food they purchase
and brands become more accountable for the promises they make.

The evening also featured Bollywood actor Parineeti Chopra,
making the occasion particularly relevant to the conversation Anjali Gold has
been championing.

Earlier this year, Parineeti’s husband and Rajya Sabha MP
Raghav Chadha raised the issue of rising food adulteration in Parliament,
drawing attention to adulteration across everyday categories including milk,
spices, edible oils and packaged foods, and calling for stronger testing,
enforcement and consumer protection.

For a brand that has been speaking about the same issue
since 2018, the coincidence made the evening more meaningful without taking
away from the larger purpose of the recognition.

The company has since taken its awareness effort directly to
consumers through initiatives such as the 365 Days Fight Against Adulteration
Challenge and AG Fighter, its mobile consumer-awareness initiative that engages
people on adulteration across everyday food categories.

The campaign has reached more than 145 million people
digitally, alongside extensive on-ground consumer interactions.

Anjali Gold has also extended its visibility through
associations with sporting platforms including the Pro Wrestling League through
EaseMyTrip Delhi Dangal Warriors , World Tennis League, World Padel League,
World Badminton League and Stars Golf League, using these platforms to take its
purity-led message to newer audiences.

The brand is currently available across India and on
Blinkit, while continuing to expand its retail, quick-commerce and
international presence. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[   

Gurugram (Haryana), India: As flexibility and personalization become increasingly important
across workplace experiences, organizations are looking for new ways to offer
employees greater choice in rewards and benefits. Responding to this shift, AdvantageClub.ai,
the AI-powered employee engagement, rewards, and flex wellness solutions
platform, has introduced a flexible Diwali gifting experience, enabling
employees to select based on their preferences while allowing organizations to
manage the entire gifting journey through a single platform.

Building on the success of its annual ‘My
Gift, My Choice’ initiative, AdvantageClub.ai continues to evolve its
gifting experience to meet changing employee expectations.

Through this Flex Gifting Solution,
organizations can offer multiple gifting formats within a single budget.
Instead of providing the same gift to the entire team, employees have the

<title>AI in the Driver’s Seat: How Consumers Are Using Chatbots to Shop Car Insurance</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/ai-in-the-drivers-seat-how-consumers-are-using-chatbots-to-shop-car-insurance</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/ai-in-the-drivers-seat-how-consumers-are-using-chatbots-to-shop-car-insurance</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Indian consumers have already folded
conversational AI into the way they handle money. ServiceNow’s Customer
Experience Report found that 80% of Indian consumers use AI chatbots for tasks
such as checking the status of a complaint, getting product recommendations and
accessing self-help guides. More tellingly for financial services, 78% said
they use AI chatbots when reviewing investment options. Car insurance is now
being drawn into the same habit.

That matters because third-party motor
insurance is one of the few financial products every vehicle owner in India is
legally required to buy, and among the least understood. The question is no
longer whether customers will consult an AI tool before renewing, but what they
do with the answer.

Trust, Not Technology, Decides the Habit

The evidence from India is early but pointed.
A 2026 study in the International Journal of Bank Marketing  based on survey data from 245 experienced
insurance-chatbot users in India, examined what drives both first-time adoption
and sustained use. Trust in the chatbot significantly shaped both. Ease of use
and perceived usefulness predicted adoption intentions, with consumers placing
particular value on convenience and being able to reach the service across
multiple channels.

The more interesting finding concerns risk.
Perceived risk reduced trust, but did not stop people using the tools, a
pattern the authors characterise as a calculated, risk-tolerant mindset. Indian
customers are broadly aware a chatbot may be wrong and are using it anyway,
which places the burden of verification on them at exactly the moment they are
least equipped to carry it.

What People Are Actually Asking

Service teams across the industry tend to
field the same queries, and they are definitional rather than about price: what
Insured Declared Value means and who sets it, the difference between
third-party and comprehensive cover, whether engine damage caused by
waterlogging is included, what happens to a no-claim bonus after a small claim,
and whether a particular add-on justifies its cost.

These are precisely the questions that have
historically gone unasked. Insurance vocabulary in India is dense, agents tend
to be consulted at renewal rather than during research, and few buyers read a
policy wording end to end. A chatbot removes the social cost of asking a basic
question, and it answers at eleven at night.

Where AI Helps, and Where It Stops

It helps most with decoding jargon. Explaining
depreciation, IDV or a total-loss threshold in plain language is exactly what these
tools do well, and a customer who understands those three concepts negotiates a
renewal far better than one who does not.

It stops at anything specific to the
individual policy. An AI tool does not know a customer’s no-claim bonus, claims
history, geographic zone classification or an insurer’s currently filed rates.
It can describe an add-on category accurately and still be wrong about a
particular document, because add-on names and inclusions are not standardised
across insurers in India. A general answer about engine protection cover says
nothing about the exclusions printed in a specific wording.

There is a subtler issue too. Because these
tools draw on publicly available material, the answer a customer receives may
reflect whichever insurer’s content is most visible online rather than
whichever product suits them.

Gaurang Thosani, Head – Digital Marketing &amp; eBusiness at Royal
Sundaram, noted: “Customers are arriving at the renewal conversation far
better informed than they were years ago, and they are arriving with sharper
questions. That is good for the industry. Our job is to make sure the answer
they get from us matches the policy document, because the document is what
outlines what the claim will actually cover.”

The Regulator Has Started Writing the Rules

On 18 June 2026, IRDAI constituted a
seven-member working group on artificial intelligence, chaired by Sandeep K.
Shukla, Director of IIIT Hyderabad. Its mandate is to assess how far regulated
entities have already deployed AI and then build the sector’s first formal
governance framework, covering ethical, transparent and explainable use, with
claims processing and fraud detection named as priority areas.

One limitation is worth stating plainly. That
framework will govern how insurers themselves deploy AI. It does not extend to
the third-party chatbots a customer consults independently before buying a
policy. For now, that verification gap sits with the buyer.

A Practical Way to Use It

●      Use AI to build questions, not conclusions. It is a research
assistant, not an underwriter. 

●      Verify every specific claim against the policy wording and schedule,
not a brochure or a comparison summary. 

●      Check the IDV on the quote yourself. It drives both the premium and
the payout, and a low premium often reflects a low IDV.


●     
Confirm
anything price-bearing, such as no-claim bonus, deductible and add-o ]]></description>

<title>HiveSchool Cohort 2 Records ₹17.59 LPA Average CTC, Highest Package ofi ₹31.5 LPA | Interim Placement Report</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 

40% of the batch has been placed
the first month of the placement window as captured by the Interim Placement
Record.

Gurugram, October 6, 2026: HiveSchool&#039;s
Cohort 2 Interim Placement Report records an average CTC of ₹17.59 LPA, with
the highest CTC reaching ₹31.5 LPA and the median CTC standing at ₹16.15 LPA.

The average package has risen from ₹16.4 LPA in Cohort 1 to
₹17.59 LPA in Cohort 2, showing an increase in average placement outcomes
across the two cohorts.

With 40% of the batch receiving placement offers within the
first month of the placement window, Cohort 2 has already recorded strong early
placement activity. The placement process is currently underway, and the report
will be updated as further outcomes are recorded.

A cohort does not place on one day. It places in waves.
HiveSchool runs its placement window in four: Day Zero, where the first offers
come from the room at Salespreneur,
the institute&#039;s flagship placement event; a second wave that closes at the end
of month six; and two further waves as students in final rounds accept offers.
The interim report is published while the window is still open, so the numbers
can be read as they form. A final report, with every offer letter on file,
follows at the end of month nine.

What the numbers say

The interim figures cover the 40% of the cohort that has
accepted an offer. Average CTC stands at ₹17.59 LPA, the median at ₹16.15 LPA,
the highest at ₹31.5 LPA and the lowest at

₹12 LPA. The top quartile of placed students averages ₹25.25
LPA and the top half ₹21.71 LPA. 71% of placed students are at ₹15 LPA or
above.

The distribution is not skewed by a few outliers. Half of
the placed students sit in the ₹15 to 20 LPA band, 29% in ₹12 to 15 LPA, 14% in
₹20 to 25 LPA and 7% above ₹25 LPA. Two offers above ₹30 LPA lift the top; the
₹1.44 LPA gap between the median and the average comes mostly from those two.
No placed student is below ₹12 LPA.

Cohort on cohort

The interim figures sit above both previous final reports on
every statistic. Against Cohort 1&#039;s final report, the highest CTC has moved
from ₹27.8 LPA to ₹31.5 LPA (up 13.3%), the top-quartile average from ₹21.93
LPA to ₹25.25 LPA (up 15.1%), the top-half average from

₹18.63 LPA to ₹21.71 LPA (up 16.6%), the average from ₹16.47
LPA to ₹17.59 LPA (up 6.8%) and the median from ₹15 LPA to ₹16.15 LPA (up
7.7%). In the institute&#039;s first year (2024-25), the average was ₹14.76 LPA and
the median ₹14 LPA (Annual
Placement Report 2025-26).

Day Zero, held on September 5 at Salespreneur, moved the
same way. 28 recruiters raised 62 interview requests in a single afternoon, and
Day Zero offers ranged from ₹16 LPA to

₹31.5 LPA, against ₹12 LPA to ₹25 LPA the previous season.

Where the final number will land

Students placed first tend to place higher. As students in
final rounds accept offers, the institute expects the average to settle at
₹15.8 to 16.8 LPA and the median at ₹15 to 16 LPA in the final report, with
more than 60% of the cohort placed above ₹15 LPA. The forecast assumes that
students in final rounds place in the ₹12 to 17 LPA band, where the lower half
of the previous cohort landed. The report calls the forecast conservative by
design: last cohort&#039;s final average came in above the view the institute held
at the same point in the window.

Where the cohort is placing

Offers so far fall into three clusters. In Tech &amp; AI,
SaaS, developer-tool and AI-native companies have opened roles including
Founding BDR, Account Manager, Enterprise Partnerships, Founder&#039;s Office (GTM)
and GTM Enablement for AI. In D2C, consumer brands selling direct and through
quick commerce have opened roles including Associate Brand Manager, Channel
Marketing Manager, E-commerce and Quick Commerce Manager, Growth Marketing
Associate, Founder&#039;s Office and Chief of Staff; brands the institute has worked
with in the category include PeeSafe, Fix My Curls, Big Boy Toyz, Protein
Pantry, Nutrabay, 1970&#039;s and Zoomies. In Consumer Tech &amp; Services,
platforms and service businesses including UpGrad and CX10X have opened Program
Manager, Founder&#039;s Office, Entrepreneur in Residence, Key Accounts Manager and
AI Program Manager roles. Across cohorts, the institute&#039;s recruiter pool is
roughly 55% consumer and 45% SaaS and technology. Company-wise roles for the
cohort will be published with the final report.

Report card, not brochure

Every figure in the report is built from offer letters and
nothing else. Offer letters are collected from each placed student on
acceptance and verified by the placement office before a number is reported.
CTC is the overall compensation as written in the accepted offer letter,
including ESOPs where they form part of the package. Students who receive
multiple offers are tracked, but only the accepted offer counts towards the
placement outcome. Average, median and band figures use placed students as the base;
cohort shares use the full cohort. The report states that its figures are
interim and wi ]]></description>

<title>THE MIRROR ON THE ROAD: HOW OUR ROAD HABITS ARE FRACTURING OUR HUMANITY | BY KARISHMA</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/the-mirror-on-the-road-how-our-road-habits-are-fracturing-our-humanity-by-karishma</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/the-mirror-on-the-road-how-our-road-habits-are-fracturing-our-humanity-by-karishma</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

We live in an age of grand promises,
soaring skyscrapers, and world-class expressways. Yet, the moment we step onto
our streets, a quieter, darker reality reveals itself. Our roads have become
arenas of raw power, impatience, and startling coldness. We see continuous,
deafening honking the microsecond a traffic signal turns green, we see massive
SUV’s using their sheer size to bully smaller commuters, we see young teenagers
zipping through the narrow streets without helmets and most heartbreakingly, we
see victims lying injured on the pavement while a hundred passersby pull out
smartphones to record videos instead of extending a helping hand. 

We often point fingers at poor
infrastructure or weak law enforcement. But if we peel back the layers, an
uncomfortable truth emerges:  The chaos on our roads is simply a mirror
reflecting what is breaking down inside our homes and our society.

When we strip away empathy, patience, and
accountability behind the wheel, we are not just creating traffic jams but we
are raising a generation that grows up believing that power overrides human
life. 

1. The
Real Tragedies: When Parental “Pride” becomes a nightmare 

Underage driving in India rarely starts
with revolt but it starts with parental indulgence. We see parents proudly
handing over the keys of heavy bikes or high speed cars to their 15 - 16 years
old children to travel to the tuition classes, coaching centers, or late-night
social gatherings. It is often treated as a milestone, a moment of pride that
“my child is growing up and driving now.” 

But
look at what this indulgence costs us?

We all remember the horrifying Pune Porsche
incident, where an unlicensed, intoxicated 17 year old driving a multi-crore
luxury car at terrifying speeds took the lives of two young, hardworking IT
professionals in a single second. Two promising lives, two families shattered
forever all because adults provided the vehicle, the money and the illusion that
consequences do not apply to them. Across India, whether in metro cities or
small towns, similar tragedies happen daily away from the headlines. 

When parents hand keys to a minor, they
aren&#039;t bestowing freedom. They are handing over a two-ton weapon to a mind that
is legally and emotionally unprepared to handle it. 

2.
Social Media influence and Stunts: Risking lives for Views

Roads are shared spaces for commuting
safely, but they are increasingly being abused as stages for personal
vanity:  


 Reel Making
     and Road Stunts
     : Young drivers and adults alike take hands off handlebars, perform
     dangerous stunts, or hold phones to capture videos on busy roads solely to
     gain views, followers, or social clout.
 Spreading Fear
     and Negative influence: 
     These stunts do not just cause physical accidents but they deeply
     affect people on the road in a negative way. Older commuters and families
     feel frightened, while impressionable youngsters watching these reels
     absorb the false idea that breaking rules makes you ‘cool’.
 The
     Consequences
     : A split second of distraction to capture a camera angle or impress
     strangers on the internet can cause irreversible loss to innocent lives.


3.
The Science of 18: Why the law sets a boundary 

The legal driving age of 18 is not any
random number pulled from thin air. It is grounded in human biology,
psychology, and motor-skill development: 



 Cognitive and
     Hand Eye Coordination:  Safe driving relies on complex brain
     functions like calculating relative speeds, anticipating another driver&#039;s
     sudden turn, timing a safe lane change, and making split second decisions
     under pressure. Before adulthood, the 
     prefrontal cortex  {the area
     of the brain responsible for impulse control and risk assessment is still
     actively developing}.
 Understanding
     Space and Patience:  True road
     sense means understanding that if a vehicle ahead is signaling to turn
     right, you ease off the accelerator, give them space, and wait for your
     turn. It is not about speeding up to block them or honking furiously to
     assert dominance.
 Power versus
     Responsibility:  A larger car or a louder engine does not
     give anyone superior ownership of the road. Roads are shared public spaces
     where a person on a bicycle, a pedestrian on foot, and a luxury vehicle
     share the exact same right to safety.


4.
The Passenger Seat Classroom: The Silent Lessons Children Absorb:

Long before a child ever touches a steering
wheel, they spend years in the passenger seat watching their elders.  It is not only affecting the children but
also other family members sitting inside the vehicle:


 Trauma for
     Family Members:  When a driver steps out of the car to
     scream, abuse, or fight with another driver, the spouse, children, or
     elderly parents sitting inside feel immense anxiety, fear, and
     embarrassment. What was supposed to be a peaceful family journey turns

through historic manufactures, independent watchmakers, museums, boutiques and

Genève (GPHG), making Geneva an essential destination for anyone passionate
about fine watch making.


A Tapestry of Culture, History &amp; Neighbourhoods

Take in the iconic Jet d’Eau from the lakeside, wander
through the charming boutiques and cafés of Carouge, and cruise across the
beautiful Lake Geneva. Just minutes from the city centre, local vineyards offer

specialties showcase its culinary appeal. With museums, cultural institutions
and year-round events, there is always something to experience.

For more than 40 years, Manotel has welcomed
travellers to Geneva through a collection of six distinctive three- and
four-star hotels, each offering its own character and style. From the refined

<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/indias-largest-plotted-developer-g-square-housing-enters-maharashtra-marks-first-major-expansion-beyond-south-india</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

*India’s
largest plotted developer marks its entry into Navi Mumbai and Pune

Mumbai : G Square Housing, India’s largest plotted developer, has announced its
entry into Maharashtra, marking its first major expansion beyond South India.
The company will commence operations in Navi Mumbai and Pune, with developments
spanning residential and industrial plotted projects.

Founded in
2012 by Mr. Bala Ramajayam, G Square Housing has developed more than 125
projects across 20+ cities, spanning over 5,000 acres and welcoming more than
20,000 families into its communities. The company has also received 17 awards
for its work in the real estate sector.

With its
presence already established across Tamil Nadu, Telangana and Karnataka, G
Square has projects across Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai, Erode, Tirunelveli,
Thoothukudi, Tiruchirappalli, Pollachi, Hosur, Mysuru and Hyderabad, among other
locations.

The entry
into Maharashtra marks a new phase in G Square’s growth as it takes its plotted
development experience to markets outside its traditional South Indian
footprint. In Navi Mumbai and Pune, the company will focus on strategically
located plotted developments with an emphasis on clear documentation, planned
infrastructure, secured communities and modern amenities, while offering buyers
the flexibility to design and build their own homes.

G Square’s
developments also incorporate sustainability initiatives, including more than 7
lakh trees planted across its projects and solar-powered infrastructure across
its communities. Its projects have also contributed to employment and economic
activity across construction, infrastructure, sales, allied services and
businesses operating within its developments.

With its
Maharashtra entry, G Square Housing aims to build on its established presence
in South India and gradually expand its footprint as a national plotted
development brand.

<description><![CDATA[ 

Sanskritii
Sethi has made a promise most spiritual practitioners stay away from: people
don&#039;t just feel better after her sessions, they leave actually change. For six
years she has worked with clients across different countries and time zones,
doing Akashic Records readings, tumbler readings, mediumship, and
automatic writing. But what makes her stand out isn&#039;t how many people follow
her. It&#039;s how many keep coming back, and how much of the work stays with them
long after the session ends.

Her
field is full of quick fixes and big promises. Sethi took the slower, quieter
route instead, one built on depth, honesty, and change that actually lasts.

The Problem She Helps
People Solve

Some
struggles don&#039;t show up on the surface. The job is fine. The relationship is
fine. Everything looks right, and yet something still feels off. A quiet
restlessness that won&#039;t go away.

The
people who come to Sethi often say the same kinds of things:


 They feel stuck in a life that
     looks perfect on paper
 The same painful patterns keep
     repeating, in one relationship after another, one job after another
 They feel something they can&#039;t
     put into words, not to a friend, not even to themselves
 They&#039;re tired from carrying
     something they can&#039;t name and can&#039;t put down


That
unspoken feeling is what brings most people to her. And that&#039;s exactly what her
work is made for.

The Readings and
Healings She Offers

Sethi&#039;s
practice uses a few different methods. Each one is a different way to reach the
same simple question: where am I really right now?


 Akashic Records readings help
     people see the deeper patterns behind their choices, their relationships,
     and the loops they keep falling into
 Tumbler readings are a simple,
     intuitive way to read where a person&#039;s energy is today and what&#039;s quietly
     weighing on them
 Mediumship offers connection,
     closure, and comfort for people carrying grief
 Automatic writing brings up
     insight that the thinking mind often argues itself out of


Why Her Clients Keep
Coming Back

The
real proof of her work isn&#039;t the number of clients. It&#039;s how many return.

A
lot of her clients come back at different points in their lives:


 A relationship falling apart
 A career choice with no clear
     right answer
 Grief that never fully healed
 A boundary they could never
     hold


For
many people, one reading turns into a bond that lasts for years. They don&#039;t
come back because they depend on her. They come back because the work is real,
and life keeps giving them new things to face.

Sethi
believes that loyalty comes from focus. Her work is built for lasting change,
not a quick spiritual high. &quot;It isn&#039;t an overnight rescue,&quot; she says,
and she means it as a warning as much as a description. She would rather a
client leave with something solid than something flashy.

What Actually Stays
With People

Part
of why her name spreads so quietly and so far is simple. The change doesn&#039;t
stop when the session ends.

In
the days and weeks after, clients notice a small but real shift:


 Catching themselves before an
     old habit takes over
 Choosing a different response
     without having to force it
 Letting go of guilt, fear, and
     old stories they picked up years ago and never questioned
 Seeing what changed inside them
     slowly show up on the outside


It&#039;s
usually not one big moment. It&#039;s a lot of small, honest choices adding up. Like
finally putting down a bag they&#039;d carried so long they forgot it was even
there.

The People Who Find
Her

Sethi&#039;s
clients don&#039;t fit one type. Some have studied spirituality for years. Others
book their first session with no idea what to expect. Quite a few show up
unsure, half-expecting to leave unconvinced.

They
include:


 Business owners under pressure,
     making big decisions
 Parents trying to break
     patterns they don&#039;t want to pass on
 Students figuring out who
     they&#039;re becoming
 Long-time seekers and nervous
     first-timers, sitting side by side


What
they share isn&#039;t a belief. It&#039;s a simple, very human wish to understand
themselves a little better. And in Sethi&#039;s space, that wish is met without
judgement, pressure, or show. 

A Practice Built on
Honesty

What
clients mention most isn&#039;t mysticism. It&#039;s honesty. Sethi doesn&#039;t tell people
what they want to hear, and she doesn&#039;t wrap the work in false comfort. She
keeps her space calm and safe, a place where someone can look at their own story
honestly without turning away from it.

Six
years in, she says every session still moves her. &quot;I love watching someone
come back to who they are, even after everything they&#039;ve had to carry,&quot;
she says. &quot;It never gets old.&quot;

That,
more than any number or following, is the heart of what she does. She doesn&#039;t
fix people. She helps them remember they were never broken to begin with.

<title>Nine Years On, Guwahati&amp;apos;s Brand Imprint Has Built the Full Stack of a Modern Digital Agency</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/nine-years-on-guwahatis-brand-imprint-has-built-the-full-stack-of-a-modern-digital-agency</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/nine-years-on-guwahatis-brand-imprint-has-built-the-full-stack-of-a-modern-digital-agency</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

Guwahati,
October 2026: When Brand Imprint opened in Guwahati in 2017, a
digital marketing agency in the Northeast was expected to do one or two things.
Run some social media pages. Design a logo. Anything larger went to Mumbai or
Delhi.

Nine
years later the agency has a team of over 40, has worked with more than 1,000
brands, and has collected three national awards. Its client list now runs well
past the Northeast. It also does something most agencies its size do not
attempt. Alongside campaigns and creative, it builds websites, mobile
applications and custom software in-house.

That
range is the point. The founders argue that the gap between a campaign that
looks good and a campaign that earns money usually sits in the places a narrow
agency cannot reach.

Creative that is
built to work, not just to win approval

Creative
is where most client relationships start, and where most of them go wrong.

&quot;Clients
are shown a beautiful campaign, they approve it, and then it does not
perform,&quot; said Prachi Agrawal, Co-Founder of Brand Imprint. &quot;The
creative was never wrong exactly. It was just made to impress the client
sitting in the room instead of the customer scrolling past it at eleven at
night. Those are two completely different audiences and we are clear about
which one we are designing for.&quot;

The
agency&#039;s creative work covers brand identity, packaging, campaign design and
video production. Over the years it has handled launches and campaigns for
names including Hard Rock Cafe and Playboy Beer Garden in Guwahati, EBCO, ACKO
Insurance and NorthEast United FC.

What
the team insists on is that creative gets tested rather than admired. Multiple
versions go live, the weaker ones are cut quickly, and the reasons are
explained to the client in plain language.

The technical side
nobody puts in a pitch deck

A
large share of wasted ad spend has nothing to do with the advertising.

Forms
that break on a mid-range Android phone. Landing pages that take nine seconds
to load on a patchy connection. Tracking that was set up once and never
checked, so nobody can tell which campaign actually produced the enquiry. These
are the problems Brand Imprint says it finds most often when it takes over an
account.

Having
developers in the same office changes what can be fixed. The agency builds its
own landing pages and websites, sets up its own tracking, and has written
custom software for clients whose requirements went past marketing altogether,
including enterprise systems and mobile applications.

&quot;We
do not have to raise a ticket with another vendor and wait two weeks to get a
form fixed,&quot; said Vishal More, Co-Founder of Brand Imprint. &quot;That
sounds small. It is the difference between losing a month of a client&#039;s budget
and losing an afternoon.&quot;

Service quality,
measured the boring way

The
agency&#039;s view is that most clients leave not because results were poor but
because nobody picked up the phone.

Reporting
is deliberately plain. The team&#039;s position is that a client should be able to
read a monthly report without a translator, and that an agency hiding behind
impressions and reach numbers is usually hiding something. Where a campaign has
underperformed, the report says so.

Clients
come from real estate, construction materials, automobiles, education,
hospitality, manufacturing, retail and food and beverage. Each of those behaves
differently. A builder selling a two-crore apartment, a cement dealer chasing
trade enquiries and a car showroom working the festive season need three
separate playbooks, and the agency says the single biggest mistake in the
industry is running one playbook everywhere because it is easier to manage.

Built in the
Northeast, built for India

The
agency is open about the fact that its address used to be treated as a
disqualification.

&quot;For
years the assumption was that a Guwahati agency could handle Guwahati work and
nothing beyond it,&quot; said More. &quot;We were built here, and that is not a
limitation we have to apologise for. It is where we learned to make a rupee go
further than it does in a metro, because our clients could not afford for it to
go anywhere else. That discipline travels. We take on work anywhere in the
country now and the client does not care where our office is, only whether the
numbers move.&quot;

Agrawal
makes the same point about talent. Roughly nine in ten of the team are in their
twenties, hired locally and trained in-house, in a region that has historically
exported its young marketers to Bengaluru and Delhi.

&quot;There
is no shortage of ability here,&quot; she said. &quot;What was missing was
somewhere to use it without buying a one-way ticket out of the state.&quot;

Experience that is
hard to shortcut

Nine
years in one market produces a particular kind of knowledge.

Media
consumption across the eight Northeastern states does not follow national
patterns, so plans built on national benchmarks tend to misallocate spend from
the first week. Language and dialect shift over short distances. Festive ]]></description>

<title>SwitchLabs’ Order Book Crosses 450 EV Heavy&#45;Duty Trucks; Targets 500&#45;Truck Deployment by FY&#45;End</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/switchlabs-order-book-crosses-450-ev-heavy-duty-trucks-targets-500-truck-deployment-by-fy-end</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/switchlabs-order-book-crosses-450-ev-heavy-duty-trucks-targets-500-truck-deployment-by-fy-end</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

India,
[05-Oct-2026]: SwitchLabs,
an EV Truck-as-a-Service platform for enterprise logistics, today shared key
operating milestones as it scales toward ~500 electric heavy-duty trucks by the
end of FY2027. With marquee industrial customers, secured lease commitments and
a fast-growing order book, the company is building a platform for India&#039;s shift
to electric freight.

Milestones
at a glance

●     
Fleet:
From just one operational truck in October 2025 to a fleet of 70 today,
SwitchLabs is on track to deploy 250 electric heavy-duty trucks by December
2026.

●     
Order book:
More than 450 trucks signed, under deployment or in the pipeline, up from about
70 in March 2026

●     
Customers:
Tata Steel, JSW Steel, United Phosphorus Limited, Dalmia Cement and JK Lakshmi
Cement, across cement, metals and industrial sectors

●     
Supply and leasing:
Lease commitments for more than 250 trucks, secured with leading OEMs and
leasing platforms on competitive commercial terms, More Such deals are under
closure 

A
full-stack platform for enterprise freight

SwitchLabs
brings together electric trucks, charging and energy infrastructure, fleet
operations, technology and carbon reporting on a single platform, so large
enterprises can electrify freight without managing the underlying complexity.
With crude oil volatility and energy security concerns reshaping transportation
economics, electric freight is moving from an environmental objective to a
strategic business imperative for India.

Ajay Pratap Singh,
CEO &amp; Co-founder, SwitchLabs, said:

&quot;In
about a year, we have gone from a single truck on the road to being on track
for 250 electric heavy-duty trucks by December 2026, with an order book that
has grown from about 70 to over 450 trucks. That pace reflects what enterprises
want: one accountable partner for trucks, charging, operations and technology.
We are focused on disciplined execution, so that every truck we add ramps up
reliably and delivers for our customers.&quot;

Once
deployed these 450 Truck will save around 50000 Tons of CO2e
Enterprise demand across cement, steel and industrials

SwitchLabs
began operations with JK Lakshmi Cement and has since expanded its customer
base to include Tata Steel, UPL, Dalmia Cement and JSW Steel. To support this
growth, the company has partnered with leading OEMs and leasing platforms,
strengthening its ability to scale deployments efficiently across high-volume
freight corridors.

Anish Kumar,
Co-founder, SwitchLabs, said:

&quot;Our
customer base has grown from our first customer, JK Lakshmi Cement, to leaders
such as Tata Steel, JSW Steel, UPL and Dalmia Cement. For these enterprises,
electric freight is no longer just a sustainability goal. It is increasingly a
business decision driven by cost, energy security and reliability. The recent
energy crisis and volatility triggered by the conflict in the Gulf have further
underscored the risks of dependence on fossil fuels and the importance of
greater energy predictability. Enterprises want a complete solution covering
infrastructure, financing, operations and technology, and that is what we are
building.&quot;

Revenue
outlook

SwitchLabs
is targeting the addition of around 450 trucks to its operating fleet by March
2027. As these trucks are deployed and ramp up, monthly revenue is expected to
grow 8 – 10 x from the current MRR. 

&quot;At
this scale, SwitchLabs will be positioned to build towards an annualized
revenue run-rate of approximately ₹300 crore, with further growth expected as
our contracted fleet and enterprise customer base expand.&quot;

With
increasing corporate focus on decarbonization, ESG compliance and sustainable
supply chains, SwitchLabs aims to play a significant role in building the clean
logistics infrastructure for India&#039;s next phase of freight mobility.

<title>Beyond Heating Water: What Is Water Conditioning Technology in Geysers?</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/beyond-heating-water-what-is-water-conditioning-technology-in-geysers</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/beyond-heating-water-what-is-water-conditioning-technology-in-geysers</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

For years, innovation in water heaters has largely revolved around one
fundamental job: heating water safely and efficiently. Better tanks, stronger
heating elements, corrosion protection, and pressure management have all been
developed to help the appliance perform reliably.

But there is another question worth asking today: What happens to
the water itself?

This question becomes particularly relevant in homes that receive hard
water. Hard water contains minerals such as calcium and magnesium, which can
leave deposits on taps, showerheads and bathroom surfaces and contribute to
scaling over time. The same water also comes into contact with our hair and
skin every time we bathe.

For consumers who spend time choosing shampoos, conditioners, masks
and skincare products, water is often the one part of the bathing routine that
receives the least attention. Yet it is the first thing that meets hair and
skin.

This is where the idea of water conditioning technology in geysers
becomes interesting.

What Is Water Conditioning Technology in a Geyser?

Traditionally, hard water has been viewed primarily as a challenge for
the appliance. Geyser technology has focused on making tanks more durable,
protecting heating elements, managing corrosion and ensuring that the appliance
continues to function effectively in hard-water conditions.

Water conditioning takes a different perspective.

Instead of asking only how a geyser can withstand hard water, it asks
whether the water being delivered for bathing can also be considered part of
the consumer experience.

Symphony has approached this gap through PUROPOD, a 9-layer
water-conditioning technology designed to condition hard water and provide more
bath-friendly water, helping address hard-water-related hair concerns.

The distinction is important. A conventional geyser is primarily
understood by what it does to temperature. A geyser incorporating
water-conditioning technology expands that conversation to include the quality
of the water used during bathing.

Why Does Hard Water Matter During Bath?

The signs of hard water are easy to recognize around the home:
deposits around taps, scaling on showerheads and marks on bathroom surfaces.

However, its relevance does not stop household maintenance.

The same water comes into contact with hair during every wash. With
repeated exposure, minerals from hard water can build up on the hair surface,
potentially leaving hair feeling rough, dry or difficult to manage. Hard water
can also influence how everyday bathing products interact with water. Hair
concerns themselves can have multiple causes, including hair type, weather,
styling habits and product choices, but water remains part of the routine.

That creates a new way of looking at the role of a geyser.

Instead of treating the appliance and the consumer as two separate
parts of the problem, water-conditioning technology brings the two closer
together.

PUROPOD: Taking the Hard-Water Conversation Beyond the
Appliance

At the heart of Symphony&#039;s SPA range is PUROPOD, its 9-layer water-conditioning technology.

The technology is designed to condition hard water and provide more
bath-friendly water, while helping address concerns associated with hard water
and hair. The approach shifts the focus from simply protecting the geyser from
hard water to also considering the water that comes into contact with the
consumer.

This represents a broader change in how a geyser for hard water
can be thought about.

Rather than hard water being solely an engineering problem, it becomes
part of the overall bathing experience.

Beyond Water Conditioning: Making the Bathing Experience
Smarter

Symphony SPA range combines PUROPOD with the SmartBath Controller,
adding another layer of control to the bathing routine.

Users can set their preferred water temperature and timer. Smart Child
Mode and child lock offer additional control for families, while cartridge
reminders and battery alerts help with maintenance. The system also provides
voice notifications such as “Water Ready” when the water reaches the desired
temperature.

These features point to another evolution in water-heater technology:
moving from a machine that performs a single function to an appliance designed
around how people use it.

Innovation Across the Geyser Portfolio

The same approach to everyday usability extends across Symphony&#039;s
geyser portfolio.

Sauna features an ABS shock-resistant body designed for durability in
everyday use. Soul combines a metal body with an LED temperature display. Swish 5.9L instant geyser brings PUROPOD water-conditioning technology together with a 3-kW
heating element in an instant geyser format.

Together, these innovations point towards a broader evolution in the

Jhamtani Earns Great Place To Work® Certification, Strengthening
Its Focus on People and Culture

Pune,
Maharashtra | October 05th , 2026: Jhamtani, a Pune-based real estate developer with a
legacy spanning more than four decades, has been Great Place To Work® Certified
for September 2026–September 2027, following an employee workplace assessment
conducted by Great Place To Work® India, the organisation that certifies
companies based on their workplace culture and employee experience. 93% of
their people said Jhamtani is a place where trust, collaboration and leadership
come together to create a great workplace.

The
certification comes at a significant phase in Jhamtani’s growth journey. The
recognition also reinforces Jhamtani’s broader approach to growth, rooted in
its core values of Customer Happiness, Better Than Yesterday, Think Long Term,
and Positive Impact on Every Life Touched. The company believes that a strong
internal culture, guided by these values, is essential to delivering on its
promise to customers and creating long-term value. Jhamtani has continued to
invest in creating a workplace that encourages learning, connection, wellbeing
and collaboration. Initiatives such as Thoughtful Tuesdays, Fun Fit Fridays,
regular training and learning sessions, mentorship programmes such as Shakti
Edge, and employee engagement and community initiatives provide employees with
opportunities to learn, connect, recharge and grow together.

Anup
Jhamtani, Managing Director, Jhamtani, said, “A business is
ultimately built by its people, and this recognition is a reflection of the
culture our team has built together. At Jhamtani, we believe that trust,
accountability and the opportunity to grow are fundamental to building a strong
organisation. ‘Jhamtani – The Name is a Promise’ is a commitment we make not
only to our customers, but to our people as well. As we enter the next
chapter of our growth, our focus remains on building an organisation where
people can grow, take ownership and contribute to a larger purpose.”

Meenakshi
Jhamtani, Executive Director, Jhamtani,
said, “For us, a great workplace is one where people don’t just come to work,
they feel a sense of belonging, purpose and pride in what they do. At
Jhamtani, we want every individual to feel heard, valued and empowered to make
a difference. As we grow, our responsibility is not only to build stronger
teams, but to create opportunities for people to discover their potential, take
ownership and grow into leaders.”

The certification marks an important milestone for Jhamtani,
while also providing a valuable benchmark for the organisation as it moves
forward. The insights gathered through the assessment will help shape future
initiatives around employee experience, leadership and workplace culture,
supporting Jhamtani’s continued evolution as an organisation.

<title>The Runway Edit makes its Bengaluru debut, bringing fashion, culture and experiential luxury together</title>
<link>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/the-runway-edit-makes-its-bengaluru-debut-bringing-fashion-culture-and-experiential-luxury-together</link>
<guid>https://news.gainfocuspr.com/the-runway-edit-makes-its-bengaluru-debut-bringing-fashion-culture-and-experiential-luxury-together</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 

Bengaluru,
October 05, 2026 : Bengaluru&#039;s luxury calendar acquired a new
fixture on Sunday evening as The Runway Edit made its debut at Conrad
Bengaluru, bringing fashion, craftsmanship, music, hospitality and fine dining
together under one roof.
 

Conceptualised by
MKJ Entertainment, The Runway Edit has been envisioned as a premium, multi-city
experiential luxury platform. Its proposition is built around the idea that
contemporary luxury extends beyond individual products to encompass access,
storytelling, craftsmanship and the experience surrounding them.
 

For its inaugural
Bengaluru edition, the platform collaborated with designer Shubhika Sharma,
founder and creative force behind Mumbai-based luxury label Papa Don&#039;t
Preach.
 

Founded in 2010,
Papa Don&#039;t Preach has developed a distinctive identity through its maximalist,
playful and unconventional approach to Indian fashion. Its repertoire spans
luxury ready-to-wear, bridal couture and accessories, while its philosophy
embraces inclusivity, equality and ethical making.
 

A 16-year
fashion retrospective
 

The centrepiece of
the evening was a conceptual presentation of 30 archival, iconic and
signature looks from Sharma&#039;s 16-year design journey.
 

Rather than a
conventional seasonal showcase, the presentation offered a visual retrospective
of the designer&#039;s evolving language — from colour and embellishment to
silhouettes and the reinterpretation of Indian fashion references.
 

The opening of The
Runway Edit featured Bollywood celebrity Riya Sen wearing &#039;The Imperial
Pop&#039;—one of the iconic looks from Papa Don&#039;t Preach&#039;s latest collection, POP
PAISLEY.&quot;
 

While, Supermodel
Reha Sukheja closed the show wearing a scintillating lehenga set “Celtic
Hearts” from one of PDP’s iconic collections Bring Your Own Fairytale.
 

“For me, fashion
has always been about creating a feeling before it becomes a garment. Papa
Don’t Preach is rooted in individuality, joy and the freedom to express
yourself without rules. Experiences like TRE give us the opportunity to take
that world beyond the clothes—to create a space where fashion, culture and
community can come together in a way that feels immersive, emotional and
alive,&quot; said Shubhika Sharma, Founder &amp; Creative Director, Papa Don’t
Preach. 
 

More than a
runway
 

The Runway Edit was
designed to extend the luxury experience beyond fashion. Approximately 250
HNIs, UHNIs, global entrepreneurs, investors and cultural influencers attended
the invitation-only evening. Luxury partners were integrated into the event
through curated activations, allowing guests to experience their products and
stories within the broader narrative.
 

The partner
ecosystem included KNS Infrastructure as Presenting Sponsor, iUSTUS
as Luxury Living Partner, XTRA SQFT as Real Estate Experience Partner, Shakti
Autocars as Luxury Automobile Partner, Diageo as Celebration
Partner, Stok Beers as Chill Partner and Radio City as Radio
Partner.
 

Music added another
layer to the evening, with Indian classical artist and music director Anoop
Shankar performing live.
 

An ambition
beyond Bengaluru
 

For founder Mahesh
Kumar Gowda, the launch represented the beginning of a larger proposition.
Mahesh Kumar founder of The Runway Edit and Queens Premier League, has more
than two decades of entrepreneurial experience and has built platforms that
bring together entrepreneurs, cultural talent, influencers and brands.
 

“We are extremely
excited to bring The Runway Edit to life. It is a first-of-its-kind concept in
the country, and we are happy to create a platform that brings together premium
fashion, designers and an exclusive HNI and UHNI audience,” he said.
 

Mahesh has also
expressed an ambition to take The Runway Edit to other Indian cities and
develop it into a national platform.
 

KN Surendra,
Founder, KNS Infrastructure said, “It is a matter of great pleasure for us to
be associated with The Runway Edit as the Title Sponsor. We have had a
successful association with Mahesh Kumar Gowda and the Queens Premier League in
the past, and that experience has given us great confidence in his vision and
ability to create impactful events. The league witnessed an impressive reach of
over 1 billion views, which created strong visibility for our brand and had a
positive impact on our sales.”
 

He added, we are
delighted to continue our association with Mahesh Kumar Gowda and be part of
The Runway Edit as the Title Sponsor. We look forward to continuing this
journey together.
 

The Bengaluru debut
offered a glimpse of that larger proposition: a luxury property where fashion
provides the visual centrepiece, while music, conversation, hospitality,
craftsmanship and fine dining complete the experience.
 

For a city whose
luxury landscape continues to evolve, The Runway Edit arrived with a timely
proposition. The future of luxury may not be defined solely by what one owns.
It may be defined by what one gets to experience.

<description><![CDATA[ 

West Bengal CSR Roundtable 2026 brings
together corporate leaders, CPSEs, State PSUs and 18+ Government Departments
for catalytic conversations and collaborative action around the State’s
development priorities

Kolkata, 5th October, 2026 : CSRBOX,
in collaboration with the Government of West Bengal, convened the West Bengal
CSR Roundtable 2026, bringing together more than 180 corporate leaders, CSR and
sustainability heads, CPSEs, State PSUs, corporate foundations, philanthropic
organisations and ecosystem enablers, alongside senior leadership and
representatives from over 18+ Government Departments.

The Roundtable was chaired by Dr. Swapan
Dasgupta, Hon’ble Minister-in-Charge, Finance Department, Government of West
Bengal The convening saw participation from secretaries and senior officials
from various Government Departments, representatives from the Department of
Public Enterprises, CPSEs and State PSUs, as well as senior leaders from
corporates, foundations, philanthropic organisations and the wider social
impact ecosystem.

The high-level, invite-only convening created a common platform for
catalytic conversations around CSR, sustainability and philanthropy, with a
focus on connecting corporate capabilities, expertise and social investments
with identified development priorities across West Bengal.

Discussions spanned health and nutrition, education and skilling,
youth employability and livelihoods, rural development and agriculture, women
and child development, water and sanitation, and environment and climate
resilience. The Roundtable sought to enable more structured, programmatic and
scalable collaboration between Government and corporate institutions, with
greater emphasis on measurable outcomes and long-term partnerships.

A significant outcome of the convening was the signing of more than 28
Letters of Intent (LoIs) with key corporate organisations across health,
education, environment and other priority development areas, creating pathways
for participating organisations and concerned Government Departments to take
identified opportunities forward.

“West Bengal is genuinely seeking to turn over a new leaf and build a
society that progresses and takes its place within India. I would urge the
private sector to come forward with a genuine sense of contributing to the
State and its development. I look forward to a very meaningful partnership
between the Government and the private sector in the coming days.” said Dr.
Swapan Dasgupta, Hon’ble Minister-in-Charge, Finance Department, Government of
West Bengal.

The Roundtable builds on a broader institutional partnership between
CSRBOX and the Finance Department, Government of West Bengal. CSRBOX has signed
a Memorandum of Understanding with the Finance Department to support the
establishment of the CSR Projects Facilitation Unit (CPFU), envisioned as a
dedicated mechanism to facilitate programmatic social investments across CSR,
sustainability and philanthropy in West Bengal.

The Unit will support engagement between Government Departments and
prospective corporate and philanthropic partners, facilitate the development of
collaborative opportunities, and provide technical support towards the
revamping of the State CSR Portal to strengthen access, coordination and
visibility of social investment opportunities across the State.

The partnership also reflects a larger opportunity to broaden the
geography of social investment in India. CSR investments have historically
tended to cluster around established corporate and industrial centres,
particularly in western and other highly industrialised regions. By creating
stronger institutional pathways in West Bengal, the initiative seeks to enable
a more geographically inclusive flow of CSR, sustainability and philanthropic
capital and unlock greater corporate participation in development opportunities
across eastern India.

Shri Bhomik Shah, Founder &amp; CEO, CSRBOX, said: “Through this
Roundtable, we are strengthening the bridge between government priorities and
corporate social investment, enabling more focused, collaborative and
outcome-driven development across West Bengal.”

The West Bengal CSR Roundtable 2026 represents an important step
towards strengthening this ecosystem by bringing Government priorities,
corporate leadership and development expertise into a common conversation and
creating clearer pathways for intent and commitments to translate into
sustained partnerships and on-ground action.

For CSRBOX, the engagement reflects its broader endeavour to
strengthen the institutional infrastructure for social investment in India and
enable CSR, sustainability and philanthropic capital to become more
collaborative, programmatic, outcome-oriented and geographically inclusive.

MIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEMENT INDIA RECOGNIZED FOR WORKPLACE
EXCELLENCE, INCLUSION AND WELL-BEING

GURUGRAM, India, October 5, 2026 : Midland Credit
Management (MCM) India, an Encore Capital Group company, today announced
several important workplace recognitions in India, underscoring its continued
commitment to building a high-trust, high-performance culture where employees
can grow, lead and thrive.
 

These recognitions highlight the organization’s focus on
creating an environment anchored in its core values of care, inclusion,
collaboration, and innovation. Through sustained investments in leadership
development, employee listening, career growth, inclusion and well-being, the
company continues to strengthen a workplace where employees are supported to do
their best work and contribute to long-term value creation for our consumers,
colleagues and communities.
 

MCM India earned multiple distinctions in the 2026 Avtar
&amp; Seramount workplace studies. The company was recognized among the Best
Companies for Women in India (BCWI) and inducted into the prestigious Best
Companies Hall of Honor, reflecting its sustained commitment to advancing
opportunities for women in the workplace. It was also recognized as a Champion
of Inclusion in the Most Inclusive Companies Index (MICI) 2026
and named among the Best Companies for Workplace Wellness 2026. 
 

Further reinforcing its commitment to workplace excellence,
Midland Credit Management India was recognized among the Top 10 India&#039;s
Best Workplaces™ for Women 2026 in the large company category by Great
Place to Work® India. This distinction reflects the experiences and voices of
employees and recognizes organizations that are advancing workplace experiences
and opportunities for women.  
 

&quot;At MCM, we believe a strong culture is a business
imperative. The recognitions we have received in India reflect years of
deliberate investment in our people, leadership capabilities and workplace
practices,&quot; said Jaison Thomas, Senior Vice President and Managing
Director, Midland Credit Management India. “We are committed to building an
environment where employees can grow meaningful careers, contribute at their highest
potential and feel a genuine sense of belonging. These honors reinforce that
our values-led approach continues to create positive outcomes for our people,
our consumers and our stakeholders.”
 

These awards underscore MCM’s belief that organizational
success begins with engaged employees and effective leaders. The company
continues to invest in leadership development, career mobility, learning
opportunities, employee listening tools and programs that strengthen inclusion
and belonging.
 

&quot;Recognition is most meaningful when it reflects the
lived experiences of employees,&quot; said Sashirekha Kandadai Raman,
Vice President, Human Resources, Midland Credit Management India, “The
industry appreciation is a testament to the culture colleagues help create
every day, one grounded in trust, respect, inclusion and continuous growth.
Across our organization, we remain focused on listening to employee feedback,
developing leaders from within and creating employee experiences that enable
individuals and teams to thrive together.”
 

These India recognitions are complemented by Encore Capital
Group’s inclusion among America&#039;s Greatest Workplaces 2026 by
Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group for the second consecutive year. While
distinct from MCM’s local awards, the recognition reflects Encore’s broader
commitment to employee experience, leadership effectiveness, workplace culture
