New Delhi [India], November 13: I still remember the first time someone handed me a “healing crystal.”
 It was smooth, pink, and beautiful, but it felt empty.
 A few weeks later, I held another , a small piece of Amethyst , and my palm tingled, my heartbeat slowed, and something shifted.
 That’s when I realised: not all crystals are alive.

Today, as the world rediscovers spiritual healing, crystals have become a bridge between science and soul.
 But there’s one challenge every seeker faces: how do you know if your crystal is real, energetically and physically?

The Truth About Crystals: Not All That Shines is Sacred

Most crystals sold online are made of glass or heat-treated quartz, often dyed to appear appealing.
 They may look stunning, but they lack the natural lattice and energy resonance of genuine stones.
 Think of it like this: a fake flower looks real, but it never carries fragrance.

At Crystal Studioz, India’s trusted destination for authentic healing crystals, every stone is tested, verified, and energised, not just sold.
 The difference is subtle but life-changing.

How to Recognise a Real Energy Crystal

If you’re starting your healing journey, here are simple ways to sense authenticity, used by expert healers at Crystal Studioz:

A. Feel Before You Buy
 Hold the stone in your left hand (the receiving hand).
 A real crystal will create a faint sensation, warmth, pulse, or calm.
 A fake one feels cold, lifeless, or hollow.

B. Observe Imperfections
 Nature never repeats patterns.
 Tiny cracks, color gradients, and unique textures are signs of authenticity.
 Perfectly polished, uniform stones are often man-made.

C. Light and Weight Test
 Genuine stones refract light unevenly and feel heavier than glass.
 For example, a real Citrine glows like sunlight , not fluorescent yellow.

The Forgotten Step: Charging and Cleansing

Even genuine crystals lose energy when exposed to crowded environments or when handled.
 Every healer knows that a crystal must be cleansed, awakened, and aligned.

At Crystal Studioz, this is done through:

• Sound Bath Cleansing (Tibetan bowls & mantras)
  
• Planetary Hour Charging (specific days & nakshatras)
  
• Energetic Calibration (matching the stone’s frequency to the wearer’s birth chart)
  

This rare method, developed under Mystic Avi (Anant Avi), ensures that when a crystal reaches you, it already knows your vibration.

Why Energy Authenticity Matters More Than Looks

You don’t buy crystals for decoration, you buy them for transformation.
 A genuine crystal interacts with your aura, balancing chakras and emotions.
 A fake one simply reflects light, not energy.

In an energy scan study conducted by healers at Healing Studioz, real crystals showed a measurable rise in electromagnetic resonance in the user’s palm chakra after 3 minutes of holding , while synthetics showed zero shift.
 Science is finally catching up to what ancient mystics have long known.

Energy Insight, Mystic Avi

“Energy doesn’t lie, it remembers.
 Every crystal you hold is a living archive of vibration.
 When it meets the right person, it awakens and mirrors their highest potential.”, Mystic Avi (Anant Avi), Reiki Grandmaster & Founder, Healing Studioz / Crystal Studioz.

The Right Crystal for You

Choosing a crystal is not about color or trend; it’s about resonance.
 Here’s a simple guide from our practitioners:

“You don’t choose the crystal, the crystal chooses you.”
 – Mystic Avi

Where to Find Genuine Crystals in India

Crystal Studioz has become India’s go-to source for ethically mined, 100% natural crystals, available both online and offline in Gurgaon.
 Every product comes energy-tested, mantra-charged, and certified by professional healers, not machines.

Visitors to the studio often describe it as “a temple disguised as a store.”
 Here, buying a crystal isn’t a transaction; it’s a connection.

The Deeper Truth

Crystals don’t work because they are magical; they work because you are.
 When you hold one, you’re having a mirror of your own vibration.
 The stone doesn’t give you energy; it reminds you of the energy you already carry.

“A pure crystal amplifies what you are ready to heal.”
 , Mystic Avi 

Final Thought

Whether you’re drawn to the glitter of Citrine or the calm of Moonstone , remember, authenticity is energy.
 A real crystal doesn’t just look different, it feels different, it lives differently.
 Let your next crystal remember you.

New Delhi [India], November 14: In a world where hesitation often holds us back, “Life Without IF” by Sudipto Chowdhury and Joyking Birje offers a fresh perspective on self-transformation. The book examines the power of one tiny word, “IF,” and how it quietly shapes the choices we make every day. Through engaging stories and practical advice, the authors encourage readers to stop reacting to life and start designing it with intention.

The central message is about taking back control and understanding that while “IF” sits at the very centre of “LIFE,” it can either freeze us with fear or push us toward growth. Chowdhury and Birje ask readers to think about the ways negative ifs like “What if I fail?” or “What if they reject me?” quietly prevent them from taking bold action. When reframed into empowering questions such as “What if I succeed?” or “What if this works?”, the same word becomes fuel for creativity, courage, and possibility.

As the authors explain, “The only difference between limitation and liberation is the direction in which you point your ‘IFs.'” This idea forms the backbone of the book’s philosophy: we get to choose whether “IF” defines our fears or our possibilities.

Sudipto Chowdhury brings over three decades of leadership experience from global companies like Hindustan Unilever, PepsiCo, and Airtel. His achievements include the “President’s Ring of Honour” from PepsiCo Global and the “Lifetime Achievement Award” from the North East Consumer Forum. Today, he mentors startups and leaders, helping them turn vision into purposeful action.

Co-author Joyking Birje brings storytelling skill and a clear understanding of what drives people. Having written and edited over a hundred projects across different genres, Birje gives the book warmth and clarity. His experience in both business and creative writing helps balance the book’s bigger ideas with easy readability. His love for writing, education, and personal growth shows up in every chapter.

The book goes beyond simple motivation and digs into how real change happens. The authors present a powerful shift from living by default to living by design. Living by default means reacting to whatever happens and letting life control us. Living by design means taking conscious control and making choices that match our values, strengths, and long term goals. To help readers make this shift, Chowdhury and Birje introduce their original model called the Behavioural Continuum, which maps out nine areas of human behaviour where transformation can take root.

These continuums represent a journey from self-doubt to self-direction, from hesitation to confident action, from dependency to adaptability, from rigidity to innovation, and finally, from vulnerability to resilience. The authors show each transformation with real examples, from Mahatma Gandhi’s growth from a timid lawyer to a decisive leader, to Oprah Winfrey’s rise from hardship through deliberate self-control and purpose. These stories prove how consistent, intentional choices can change not just our circumstances but our entire view of life.

As Sudipto Chowdhury puts it, “Life doesn’t change in one grand moment of revelation; it changes in hundreds of small moments when you choose design over default.” This idea sits at the heart of the book’s lasting appeal. The message is straightforward: transformation is not about perfection, but progress.

One particularly useful framework in the book is the Intent vs Actualisation model, which closes the gap between having dreams and living them. The authors ask three simple but important questions: What do I want to do? Why do I want to do it? How will I achieve it? These questions help readers move from wishful thinking to structured action. The process they outline, setting clear goals, creating workable plans, getting expert feedback, and executing with steady awareness, is both accessible and practical. They use the clear image of a treasure map: your plan is the map, but the treasure only appears when you actually take the journey, step by step.

Throughout the book, readers are invited to assess where they stand along these behavioural continuums through reflection exercises and self-assessment tools. The authors highlight methods like mindfulness, seeking feedback, and celebrating small wins as essential for maintaining change. The tone is realistic yet hopeful, never promising overnight transformation but instead championing a path of steady, conscious growth.

Woven into these lessons is Sudipto Chowdhury’s personal story, a real world example of the book’s philosophy in action. From his early years of uncertainty to becoming Managing Director of Airtel Africa and addressing the United Nations on telecommunications during the Ebola crisis, Chowdhury lives what it means to exist without IF. His journey shows how shifting your mindset can turn fear into opportunity and uncertainty into direction.

In the book’s moving conclusion, Chowdhury shares his decision to retire at 52, not as an ending but as a conscious move toward a life of service. His goal to become “Ramu,” a symbolic figure of humble service who adds to others’ happiness without seeking praise, reflects the peak of his transformation: from ambition to giving back.

The authors close “Life Without IF” with an invitation for readers to design their own blueprints for authentic living. They hint at future titles like “Marriage Without IF,” “Learning Without IF,” and “Earning Without IF,” taking this transformative philosophy into every part of human life.

At its heart, “Life Without IF” is more than a typical self-help book. It is a guide for intentional living. It reminds readers that the quality of our lives comes not from circumstances, but from the IFs we choose to ask ourselves. As Chowdhury and Birje write, “Every ‘IF’ you speak is a seed. Plant the ones that make you grow.”

By turning self-doubt into curiosity and fear into focus, “Life Without IF” empowers readers to step past hesitation and start living a life designed with purpose, courage, and real possibilities.

New Delhi [India], November 14: “What will you be when you grow up?” It’s a question every child hears—and answers—with wide eyes and even bigger dreams. An astronaut, a doctor, a teacher, a cricket star. Their imaginations have no limits—and neither should the possibilities we create for them.

This Children’s Day, while we celebrate the joy, innocence, and potential in every child, it’s also the perfect time for us, as parents and caregivers, to pause and reflect: Are we doing enough to protect and nurture those dreams?

Because while love gives them the courage to dream, it’s planning and preparation that give those dreams the wings to fly—even when life takes an unexpected turn.

Life Insurance: More Than Just a Safety Net

Today’s life insurance does more than offer financial protection. It has evolved into a powerful tool for long-term savings and goal-based planning—especially when it comes to your child’s education.

Maneesh Mishra, Chief Product and Marketing Officer, Bandhan Life, says, “Whether you’re preparing for school fees, college expenses, or even overseas education, child-focused insurance plans offer a structured way to build an education fund that keeps their dreams on track, no matter what.”

Key Benefits for Your Child’s Future

• Uninterrupted Education: Coverage ensures your child’s learning journey continues even in your absence.
• Goal-Based Savings: Plans help align investments with key education milestones.
• Tax Efficiency: Eligible premiums and benefits offer tax advantages under Sections 80C (under the old tax regime) and 10(10D) (if certain conditions are met).
• Emergency Flexibility: Some plans allow partial withdrawals or loans for unexpected needs.

Choosing the Right Plan with Bandhan Life

“At Bandhan Life, we believe in strengthening relationships by offering plans that don’t just protect—but empower,” Mishra adds.

Depending on your goals and risk appetite, here are some tailored solutions for your child’s education:

• iGuarantee Vishwas (Endowment Plan)
  For those who value stability and guaranteed outcomes, this plan offers predictable, guaranteed returns. Available at Bandhan Bank branches, this product is perfect for building a safe education fund without market risk.
• Guaranteed Income Plans for Child Education
  These hybrid plans offer structured payouts to meet regular expenses for —school, college, or professional courses. Available at Bandhan Bank branches, Bandhan Life Guaranteed Income Plan ensures you’re adequately supported when those moments arrive.
• iInvest Advantage (Online ULIP Plan)
  For parents with a higher risk appetite and longer time horizons, this market-linked plan offers potentially higher returns. Available on bandhanlife.com, iInvest Advantage is an ideal plan for long-term goals like higher education abroad.

Why Life Insurance Works So Well for Education Planning

Life insurance offers more than just peace of mind—it delivers practical, structured support when you need it most. Many child plans come with guaranteed payouts at key educational milestones like school, college, or higher studies, helping you avoid last-minute financial stress. In the event of a parent’s untimely passing, most plans also include a waiver of future premiums, so your child’s benefits continue without interruption. Whether you choose a ULIP for market-linked growth or a guaranteed plan, you enjoy the dual advantage of protection and wealth creation—all while staying disciplined in saving for your child’s long-term future.

A Gift That Lasts Beyond Childhood

This Children’s Day, along with toys, books, and sweet treats, consider giving your child something that lasts a lifetime: the gift of financial security and opportunity.

A well-chosen life insurance plan is more than a policy—it’s a commitment. A quiet but powerful way of saying: “I may not always be there—but I’ve made sure your dreams can still come true.” Because every child deserves not just love—but the chance to fly.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 15: Following the successful launch of its latest collection, Art Deco, on 7th November, Mashroo, India’s leading modest fashion house, hosted an intimate Meet & Greet at Café Nur, Fort, to celebrate the collection’s creative journey and the growing movement of modest fashion in India.

Set against the art-inspired backdrop of Café Nur, the event brought together fashion voices, content creators, and women from diverse backgrounds to experience the world of Art Deco — a collection that translates the grandeur of the 1920s design era into the language of modern modesty.

“Art Deco was an era where design broke boundaries — bold lines, geometric forms, and unapologetic elegance. We wanted to bring that same fearlessness into modest fashion,” shares Shezeen Hyder, Creative Head at Mashroo. “Our vision has always been to take modest fashion to mainstream fashion — to celebrate the woman who chooses her faith and fashion equally, with confidence and pride.”

The Art Deco collection features 32 pieces, including abayas, kaftans, and tailored modest formals inspired by the three-piece suit and 1920s silhouettes. Motifs drawn from arches, geometry, and Deco architecture are intricately hand-embroidered, reflecting Mashroo’s hallmark of precision and luxury craftsmanship. Fabrics such as authentic Korean Nida and global luxury blends bring an elevated tactile story to every piece. That elevates the wardrobe with grace. The color story moves through electric blue, brick orange, maroon, white, and black, highlighted with lacework reminiscent of the golden age of design.

The event featured more than 20 of India’s most prominent Muslim social influencers, who joined Shezeen Hyder in discussing the evolution of modest fashion and its cultural representation in India today. The gathering emphasised sisterhood, empowerment, and the redefinition of modest dressing as an act of strength, not suppression. The event celebrated the intricacies of belief as well as shed light on the future of modest fashion.

“For us, modesty isn’t limitation — it’s liberation,” says Hyder. “We design for women who lead with conviction, creativity, and confidence.”

With Art Deco, Mashroo continues its journey of crafting stories where heritage meets modernity — where every abaya and kaftan becomes a symbol of elegance, purpose, and pride.

The Art Deco Collection is available to explore at Mashroo stores in Bangalore and Hyderabad, and online at www.mashroostore.com

Founded in India, Mashroo is a pioneering modest fashion brand redefining contemporary Islamic wear through luxury craftsmanship, cultural storytelling, and modern silhouettes. With everything done in-house — from design to tailoring — Mashroo continues to lead the movement of Taking Modest Fashion to Mainstream Fashion.

New Delhi [India], November 17: Deep Connection Innovation Pvt Ltd., an India-born “healthtech” pioneer in child neurodevelopment, today announced a major leap forward in how child development is assessed and nurtured. With a suite of proprietary intellectual property and novel digital tools, Deep Connection is making it possible for parents, educators and professionals—even in remote regions—to continuously screen, track and support a child’s developmental journey using advanced AI/ML methods.

At the heart of this breakthrough lies a flexible, scalable assessment platform designed to transcend the limitations of traditional developmental inventories used in clinical and educational settings. These older tools, while valuable, often offer only a snapshot in time and carry a risk of false positives or missed nuance. Deep Connection’s innovation identifies not just whether a child has a delay, but pinpoints which precise cognitive, motor, social, emotional or language capacities need support — and then offers tailored facilitation. The result: a more reliable, accessible path to ensuring children complete their key milestones in the years that matter most.

“This is more than a new test,” says Mr. Rishi Kant Upadhyay, Co-Founder of Deep Connection Innovation. “It’s the start of a continuous wellbeing experience for children and their stakeholders. By digitising the assessment process, embedding AI/ML-driven analytics and enabling deployment in schools, homes and community settings, we’re building an ecosystem that supports every child’s potential — not just identifying when things go wrong, but helping make sure things go right.”

Deep Connection was founded by two dynamic Indian professionals who left their comfortable corporate lives in the UAE to return home and build something transformational. With deep experience in technology, education and child health, they envisioned a future where every child — regardless of geography or socio-economic context — would benefit from proactive, smart and affordable developmental monitoring. What began as a vision is now taking shape into the first-of-its-kind healthtech organisation tackling the neurodevelopment space with holistic ambition.

The company has already garnered multiple awards in both the UAE and India for innovation and excellence in child healthcare — recognition that underscores the credibility and potential of the work underway. Building on this success, Deep Connection has launched “FitQuest”, a holistic wellbeing programme currently being rolled out in partner schools. FitQuest takes a 360-degree view of child development — combining physical fitness, cognitive agility, emotional resilience (high EQ) and academic readiness (high IQ) — thereby enhancing life outcomes for children and strengthening the education ecosystem.

“We’re seeing visionary schools reach out to implement FitQuest because they recognise that development isn’t just academic — it’s multi-dimensional,” says Ms. Monika Sharma, Co-Founder of Deep Connection. “With FitQuest, our continuous digital screening platform, we’re giving schools a concrete roadmap to foster children who are physically well-built, emotionally resilient and cognitively ready for the future.”

The timing could not be more critical. Globally and in India, an estimated significant number of children do not complete the full set of developmental milestones on time — often because the right screening and facilitation weren’t in place early enough. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and thoroughly engineering intervention frameworks, Deep Connection is poised to shift that paradigm, enabling earlier detection, smarter facilitation and more inclusive access.

Key highlights of the announcement:

• Flexible assessment framework: Rather than static checklists alone, the platform adapts to the child’s context, captures granular developmental capacities and provides both assessment and intervention insights.

• Digitised & scalable: The tools can be deployed in schools, clinics, remote community-settings and homes, enabling broad reach and continuous use by parents, teachers and professionals (both medical and non-medical).

• AI/ML embedded: Predictive analytics and learning algorithms help identify patterns and developmental trajectories, improving accuracy over time and reducing false positives associated with traditional screenings.

• Holistic tooling: With the FitQuest programme, Deep Connection combines physical, cognitive, emotional and social domains in one integrated experience, emphasising lifecycle wellbeing not just milestone ticking.

• Award-winning foundation: Recognised in both the UAE and India for innovation in child health and education, validating both the concept and execution of Deep Connection’s operations.

“Children are not checkboxes,” Mr. Rishi Kant Upadhyay adds. “They are moving, learning, evolving beings. Our mission is to make sure that from infancy through early schooling, every child has the opportunity — and the supportive ecosystem — to finish their developmental journey fully equipped. That means turning isolated assessments into continuous monitoring, turning interventions into guiding processes, and turning possibility into everyday reality.”

Deep Connection Innovation Pvt Ltd invites educators, healthcare professionals, technology partners and community leaders to join its mission. With the combination of breakthrough proprietary methodology, student-centred programming and digital reach, the organisation is charting a new frontier in child development, one where delay detection becomes prevention and potential becomes fulfilment.

About Deep Connection Innovation Pvt Ltd.
Deep Connection is building the foundational AI-powered infrastructure for early childhood neuro-developmental healthcare and continuous wellbeing. By combining machine-learning models, multimodal data capture, and an integrated “screen ➝ diagnose ➝ intervene ➝ monitor” platform, with aim to democratize access to developmental screening and diagnostics for children, globally.

Their vision: to become the operating system for child-development healthtech—enabling parents, teachers, healthcare professionals and institutions to detect developmental delays and disorders earlier, deliver interventions digitally, and monitor progress continuously.

Founded by professionals who returned to India from UAE to build scalable, inclusive and tech-driven solutions in child neurodevelopment, the organisation has already received multiple awards for innovation in child healthcare in India and the UAE. Its flagship programmes include FitQuest — a holistic school-based wellness framework — and a digital AI/ML screening platform that enables continuous developmental monitoring and support.

New Delhi [India], November 17: The Bahá’í House of Worship, widely known as the Lotus Temple, hosted a special edition of the One Ocean Concert Series on Friday evening, drawing ambassadors from 24 countries, leading writers, and many of Delhi’s cultural influencers.

Welcoming the distinguished gathering, the Bahá’í House of Worship team highlighted the temple’s enduring role as a symbol of the oneness of humankind. The One Ocean Concert Series, rooted in Bahá’í principles, celebrates the unifying force of the arts and their ability to inspire harmony, empathy, and collective upliftment.

The welcome address drew from the Bahá’í writings, noting that human diversity—like musical notes—forms a perfect chord when blended with unity and purpose. Art, it emphasised, is “a gift of the Holy Spirit,” capable of uplifting both individuals and societies.

Dr. Kazem Samandari, Co-Founder of the Trajectories of Hope Foundation, said: “This concert is more than a performance; it is a reminder that culture and music can dissolve boundaries. Today, as ambassadors, artists, and citizens sit together, we witness the real meaning of unity in diversity.”

Dr. Christine Samandari, Co-Founder of the Foundation, added: “The Lotus Temple welcomes every heart. Through the One Ocean Concert, we hope to reaffirm that humanity is interconnected — many waves, but truly one ocean.”

Justice Deepak Verma, Former Judge of the Supreme Court of India, said: “This evening’s concert showcased how art can be a carrier of peace. In a world of growing differences, platforms like the One Ocean Concert remind us of our shared humanity.”

Vicki Bedi, direct descendant of Guru Nanak and distinguished philanthropist, said: “The Lotus Temple embodies the spirit of universality. Tonight, the music echoed Guru Nanak’s message — that all beings are one, and that harmony is our natural state.”

Ambassador Sanjay Verma, member of UPSC and cultural patron, said: “Gatherings like this create a powerful bridge between communities and nations. The language of music speaks to every heart, and tonight, it united us effortlessly.” He added: “The performance’s visual dimension was defined by the incredible backdrop of the Lotus Temple.”

The evening featured an exceptional performance by Pandit Shubhendra Rao and Maestro Saskia Rao-de Haas, accompanied by Zuheb Ahmed and Zaheen Khan on tabla. Organised in collaboration with the Trajectories of Hope Foundation, the concert filled the iconic marble hall with meditative classical melodies.

Pandit Shubhendra Rao — a protégé of Bharat Ratna Pandit Ravi Shankar — was celebrated for continually expanding the boundaries of Indian classical music. Saskia Rao-de Haas, creator of the Indian cello, received admiration for her innovation and her cross-cultural artistic mastery.

Distinguished diplomats, cultural leaders, prominent writers, and personalities from Delhi’s artistic community attended the event. Among them was Amit Deshmukh of MMJP Global Wellness, representing the intersection of culture, community upliftment, and holistic well-being.

As part of the closing ceremony, Ms Nilakshi Rajkhowa, Director of the Bahá’í Office of Public Affairs, invited Dr Christine Samandari and Dr Kazem Samandari to join her in presenting a token of appreciation to the performers.

New Delhi [India], November 17: In a world where creators struggle to stand out and brands keep losing money on unpredictable marketing, one 20-year-old Indian founder is rewriting the rules of the creator economy. Yasir Muhammed, the visionary behind Whoyer, has built one of the fastest-growing AI ecosystems for creators and brands — and he began his journey when most kids were learning algebra.

Whoyer isn’t just another startup. It’s an AI-powered creator growth engine, already part of the NVIDIA Inception program and the Microsoft for Startups program, trusted today by 1 lakh+ creators across 22+ countries.

At its core, Whoyer solves the creator economy’s biggest pain: saturation, low earnings, and unpredictable reach. With its Creator Academy, AI Growth Stack, and Brand Marketplace, it forms a closed-loop system — learn → grow → earn → analyze → repeat.

Yasir, who has earned two Indian records, written three books, represented South India internationally, and worked with the Dubai Creator HQ — all before turning 20 — carries a mission much bigger than a startup.

“My mission is simple,” he says. “To give every creator the system, not just the platform.”

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], November 17: In a heartfelt celebration that united the wisdom of elders with the energy of young warriors, Metta Foundation and Jagriti Dham Senior Living hosted “Celebrating Life Across Generations” — a special event honouring World Diabetes Day and Children’s Day 2025. Held at Jagriti Dham – Merlin Greens, Ibiza Club, Diamond Harbour Road, the program brought together seniors, children living with Type 1 diabetes, healthcare professionals, and performing artists for a day filled with learning, empathy, and joy.

Designed to bring together senior citizens, children living with Type 1 diabetes, healthcare experts, and performing artists, the event aimed to foster meaningful connections and promote awareness about diabetes and holistic well-being. More than a single-day observance, it was envisioned as a journey of compassion, empowerment, and shared human experience.

Shri Ravindra Chamaria, Founding Trustee, Jagriti Dham, shared, “At Jagriti Dham, we believe that life’s true richness lies in connection between generations, experiences, and emotions. This initiative beautifully reflects that belief, reminding us that compassion and care have no age.”

Shri Pulak Chamaria, Trustee, Jagriti Dham, shared that every moment shared between a child and an elder carries immense emotional value, and that events like these strengthen the bonds of empathy while inspiring both generations to learn from one another.

Insights that Inspire: A Focus on Health and Heart

The highlight of the day was an enlightening address and interactive session by Dr. Debasis Basu, a distinguished diabetologist. In his talk, “Insights that Inspire,” Dr. Basu explored preventive elder care, holistic lifestyle balance, and the evolving approaches to diabetes management — with a special focus on senior citizens and children. His compassionate delivery and profound knowledge left participants feeling both empowered and encouraged to take meaningful, manageable steps toward improved well-being.

The session’s interactive format opened the floor for heartfelt exchanges, as attendees shared personal experiences and concerns. It became a valuable space for open dialogue between healthcare experts, Jagriti Dham residents, and families of Type 1 diabetic children — lovingly known as our “Little Warriors.”

Event Highlights

The day unfolded through a thoughtfully designed sequence of learning, connection, and heartfelt moments. It opened with a warm welcome to all guests, residents, and the “Type 1 Diabetes Little Warriors,” setting the tone for meaningful intergenerational bonding and shared celebration. This was followed by an insightful knowledge-sharing session led by expert nutritionists, who offered practical guidance on diabetes management and healthy nutrition across all ages. Dr. Debasis Basu led a special session featuring a short film and an interactive discussion centered on preventive health, emotional resilience, and lifestyle awareness.

The event drew to a memorable close with a soulful musical program celebrating the enduring link between generations through the power of melody. Legendary 92-year-old Rabindra Sangeet exponent Smt. Bibha Sengupta captivated everyone with her ageless voice, embodying grace and experience. She was beautifully accompanied by Sharmi Roynandi Dhar, a talented new-generation performer who brought a vibrant contemporary touch, symbolizing the harmony between tradition and modernity.

Empathy, Awareness & Intergenerational Bonds

“Celebrating Life Across Generations” highlighted the importance of empathy-driven interactions and active engagement across age groups. The event went beyond diabetes awareness — it celebrated every stage of life, from childhood innocence to the wisdom of the golden years.

Bringing Type 1 diabetic children and senior residents together helped nurture mutual understanding, break stereotypes, and create emotional support systems. The day reaffirmed that health and happiness flourish in communities rooted in compassion, knowledge, and shared experiences.

About the Organisers

Metta Foundation is a social initiative dedicated to holistic health, community engagement, and compassionate care for vulnerable groups.

Jagriti Dham, Kolkata’s leading senior living community, is known for its commitment to wellness, dignity, and meaningful living for elders.

Together, both organisations envision this event as an annual platform celebrating human connection — one that blends science, soul, and community solidarity.

Dubai [UAE], November 17: In an announcement that underscores the significance of the upcoming Mrs World as a platform that celebrates transformation, excellence, empowerment and conscious leadership, Dr Taylor Elizabeth, a Dubai-based emotional intelligence and etiquette coach, has been named as Mrs UAE World. She was awarded this distinction by Dr Aditi Govitrikar, a multi-hyphenate who is a medical doctor, psychologist, and the first-ever Mrs World, who has recently been appointed as the director for Mrs UAE World 2025. Dr Taylor will be the official UAE delegate to the glittering Mrs World pageant, scheduled for early next year. Her approach will be one of intention and consciousness. She believes that pageants have evolved into platforms that spotlight identity, voice, representation and meaningful influence – from empowering women by encouraging expression of their intelligence, values and culture, to catalysing self-awareness, courage and identity expansion.

• Dr Taylor Elizabeth, a globally renowned emotional intelligence and etiquette coach, will harness this forum to spark dialogue around visibility and identity
• Dr Taylor has a long and rich association with India, where she conducts emotional intelligence and identity development programmes for elite clients, and has been feted with numerous awards for her ability to bridge global standards with Indian values
• She was selected as Mrs UAE World by Dr Aditi Govitrikar, the first Mrs World who is the pageant’s director
• Her appreciation for the UAE as a nation that’s built on the ideals of inclusion, tolerance, opportunity and innovation, makes it the ideal backdrop for this endeavour

Through her award-winning initiatives and pathbreaking work in bridging global standards with Indian values, Dr. Taylor is a familiar and respected name among Indian audiences. She leads a transformative Emotional Intelligence and Identity Development Programme for the Maharana of Udaipur across Maharana Mewar Public School (MMPS) and Maharana Mewar Vidya Mandir (MMVM). In addition to her keynote session at Amity University, Noida, she has led high-impact workshops and presentations on education and professional development in major cities across India, including Delhi, Bengaluru, Goa, Raipur, Mumbai, Jaipur, and Coimbatore. She has been a featured speaker for prestigious Indian platforms, including The Economic Times HR World Conclave, Talk CXO Conclave, Hindustan Times PACE Principal Conclave, and Ek Nari and Leaders of Bharat Summit, among several others. She also serves as a mentor with UN Women and Amity University, guiding emerging Indian leaders to elevate confidence and purpose.

“Platforms such as Mrs World inspire because they make possibilities visible. When a woman sees someone who reflects her background or story standing confidently on a global stage, it reshapes her own ideas of what is possible. For me, this platform is an opportunity to amplify emotional intelligence, promote conscious communication, support women’s empowerment, and foster multicultural representation. This journey is not about a title. It’s about challenging limiting preconceptions, embracing all facets of who I am, and entering a space I’ve never allowed myself to occupy fully. It is an opportunity to model authenticity, vulnerability, and elegant strength. I chose this path because I genuinely love the UAE. It is a nation of more than 200 nationalities, built on inclusion, tolerance, opportunity, and innovation. Through this pageant, I hope to reflect its spirit while showing women what it looks like to step into a larger version of themselves with grace and self-awareness,” said Dr Taylor of her decision to participate in the Mrs World pageant.

Dr Aditi Govitrikar is especially excited about Dr Taylor’s participation in the prestigious pageant. She says that the acclaimed coach embodies the multicultural and progressive essence of the UAE, making her the ideal representative for the region on the global stage. Dr Taylor’s commitment to community service, women’s empowerment, and cultural understanding makes her the right ambassador for the nation, as does her work in advocacy and her strong sense of purpose. “She uses her platform to empower women and create meaningful dialogues around self-worth and leadership. I admire how she connects with people; she leads not from a pedestal, but through empathy and collaboration. That’s the true essence of the Mrs World family: leadership rooted in compassion,” Dr Aditi added.

Through her participation in the Mrs World pageant, Dr Taylor is consciously forging a glorious path for thousands, if not millions, of women across the globe, inspiring them to craft their own stories of visibility, authenticity and value-based leadership. Importantly, she is changing the still pervasive script about women having to minimise themselves as wives and mothers, and proving, through her own example, how they can transcend labels to occupy space and make a palpable difference.

Devin Gawarvala – Founder, Bespoke Art Gallery

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], November 18: After an unforgettable debut at Bikaner House, New Delhi, The Bespoke Art Gallery now brings its acclaimed art showcase to Ahmedabad, offering art lovers, collectors, and connoisseurs an opportunity to experience a powerful global dialogue in contemporary art.

The Ahmedabad edition of the showcase will officially open on 15 November 2025, marking a significant moment for the city’s evolving cultural landscape.

Titled “Resonance of the Soul”, the exhibition first captivated audiences in Delhi with its immersive curation and cross-cultural vision. The Ahmedabad edition continues that journey, presenting a remarkable line-up of 10 international artists whose works transcend geographies, traditions, and time. Visitors can witness evocative creations by Gillie & Marc (Australia/UK), Bobur Ismoilov (Uzbekistan), Timur D. Vatz (Russia), Walera Martynchik (Belarus), Christian Saldert (Finland), Jesus Curiá (Spain), Ulug’bek Yusupov (Uzbekistan), Muzaffar Ali (Egypt), Bakhodir Jalal (Uzbekistan), and Simon Max Bannister (UK).
Following the Delhi success, Bespoke Art Gallery is now extending this experience to Gujarat’s cultural capital. The Ahmedabad showcase is a visual celebration of myth, memory, identity, and human emotion – a rare opportunity for the city’s art enthusiasts to witness works that have graced international collections and global fairs.

 A Gallery Born from Passion

Founded by Devin Gawarvala, Bespoke Art Gallery was born from a deep personal love for art and a vision to bridge the global and the local. Growing up in a home surrounded by art, Devin was inspired by his father, Samir Gawarvala, a passionate collector and entrepreneur, who encouraged him to explore world museums and artistic traditions.

Located in Ahmedabad’s upscale Ambli area, the gallery redefines what a contemporary art space can be — serene, immersive, and intellectually engaging. With landscaped courtyards, water features, and minimalist interiors, Bespoke Art Gallery offers an experience that feels both meditative and modern.

Speaking about the upcoming showcase, Devin shares, “Ahmedabad is emerging as one of India’s most promising design and cultural hubs. Bringing this international art line-up here is not just about exhibiting art — it’s about cultivating dialogue, emotion, and introspection. Each artist reflects a different facet of the human soul.”

 A Cultural Bridge Between Worlds

Bespoke Art Gallery has already made waves in India’s contemporary art landscape by curating shows that challenge boundaries and explore deeper human connections. Its debut, “Resonance of the Soul” at Bikaner House, drew an elite audience of art patrons, curators, and cultural voices from across India — setting a new benchmark for immersive, narrative-led exhibitions.

Now, as the same brilliance arrives in Ahmedabad, the gallery continues its mission: to create a space where international artistry meets Indian sensibility — where every visitor walks away not just having seen art, but having felt it.

Witness the Magic

The Ahmedabad edition of Resonance of the Soul is an open invitation to rediscover the beauty of artistic exchange. Whether you are an art collector, an interior designer seeking inspiration, or simply an admirer of creative expression — this is a show not to be missed.

Venue: Bespoke Art Gallery, Ambli, Ahmedabad

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], November 18:  In what experts are calling one of the most substantial contributions to neurosurgical safety research in recent years, Dr Mohana Rao Patibandla—Chief Neurosurgeon and CMD of Dr Rao’s Hospital, Guntur—presented a landmark analysis of 1008 neurosurgical cases at SIONCON 2025, held at the NIMHANS Convention Centre in Bengaluru.

The dataset, spanning five years of brain, spine, pediatric and epilepsy surgeries, places Dr Rao’s Hospital among the few centres in the country with such comprehensive intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) documentation. The study suggests that structured, multimodal IONM can significantly reduce neurological complications, a key concern in high-risk neurosurgical procedures.

Speaking at the conference, Dr Rao said that neuromonitoring has “moved beyond being a supportive tool” and is now central to real-time decision-making during surgery. “IONM allows surgeons to operate with precision instead of uncertainty. Our 1008-case experience shows that neurological safety is measurable, predictable, and protectable,” he added.

High Accuracy, Lower Complication Rates

According to the study, Dr. Rao’s team recorded an 85.7% sensitivity and 98.8% specificity in detecting neurophysiological changes during surgery.

The data also showed:

• 78.5% neurological deficit prevention rate
• 94% recovery rate in patients with transient postoperative deficits
• Only 0.7% permanent signal loss, prompting staged closure
• 91.6% functional independence (KPS ≥80) at 3 months

Experts at the event noted that these numbers are rare, especially for large-volume centres handling complex skull base, spine, pediatric, and eloquent-area brain tumors.

Better Outcomes in Pediatric and Awake Brain Surgeries

Dr. Rao highlighted that children undergoing epilepsy and tumor surgeries benefited the most from IONM, recording faster recovery due to higher neuroplasticity.

Awake craniotomy—used in 227 cases—also showed encouraging results with no long-term complications and minimal transient disruptions.

Setting Benchmarks for Indian Neurosurgery

Organised by the Society for Intraoperative Neurophysiology, SIONCON 2025 brought together neurosurgeons and neurophysiologists from across the country. Dr Rao’s presentation was one of the most discussed sessions, especially for its scale and practical insights into real-time surgical intervention.

The study also validated staged closure—where a surgery is temporarily stopped to prevent neurological injury—as a safe, outcome-enhancing strategy. Of the 26 such cases, 73% regained significant neurological function after corrective procedures.

A Call for Wider Adoption

Dr. Rao emphasized that hospitals across India must adopt structured IONM for complex brain and spine surgeries. “If India wants global outcomes, we need global protocols. IONM is not a luxury—it is essential for preventing avoidable disability,” he said.

About Dr. Rao’s Hospital

Located in Guntur, Dr. Rao’s Hospital is known for advanced neurosurgery, neuro-oncology, spine surgery, and minimally invasive skull base interventions. The centre also has one of the region’s most active IONM programs, contributing to safer and more predictive surgical outcomes.

New Delhi [India], November 19: In an age defined by constant notifications, shrinking attention spans, and digital overload, MIT technologist and entrepreneur Prithvi Raj Banerjee unveils a transformative new guide to reclaiming inner calm: Mindful Thinking, now available across India.

Born in Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, Banerjee’s remarkable journey—from a grounded childhood shaped by his railway-officer grandfather’s discipline, to the academic corridors of IIT-BHU and finally the world-leading innovation hub of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)—forms the heart of this powerful new work. His unique blend of Indian philosophical depth and Western scientific rigor has shaped a mindfulness model designed for today’s fast-paced digital world.

A Technologist Turned Mindfulness Innovator

Now a respected figure in Boston’s competitive tech ecosystem, Banerjee is not only known for his entrepreneurial successes but also for his expanding role as a mindfulness educator and youth mentor. Through his nonprofit, the MindGym Initiative, he leads engaging workshops that blend:

• Neuroscience
• Meditation

These sessions have empowered countless young people to manage stress, build focus, and navigate the challenges of hyperconnectivity.

Rather than overwhelming readers with spiritual jargon or complex theory, Banerjee delivers mindfulness in a refreshingly accessible, contemporary, and engaging style.

A Tribute to Bilaspur

Despite his global accomplishments, Banerjee credits Bilaspur as the birthplace of his values and aspirations.

“No matter where I live, my heart remains in Bilaspur,” he says.
“This is where my journey began. I hope the youth of Bilaspur will read Mindful Thinking and discover how powerful a focused, calm mind can be.”

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], November 19: Celebrated Netaji and Azad Hind collector Prithwish Dasgupta has been awarded the prestigious Vermeil Award at the 10th Philatelic Exhibition Bongopex–2025, organised by the West Bengal Circle of the Department of Posts. The exhibition, held at Science City from 14 to 17 November, brought together philatelists from across West Bengal, Sikkim and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands.

Dasgupta, known nationally for his unparalleled research on Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and the Indian National Army (INA), impressed jurors with his rare and historically invaluable exhibit. With over twenty-five years of collecting experience, he presented one of the most comprehensive displays of Netaji’s life, INA’s military history and the material culture of Azad Hind.

Handwritten Netaji Letters Draw Crowds

One of the most striking components of Dasgupta’s award-winning entry was a collection of handwritten letters authored by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose between 1936 and 1939, during his period of British-imposed house arrest. Many of these letters carried the official markings “Censored & Passed by the British Police”, offering a direct glimpse into the surveillance and restrictions placed on Netaji by the colonial administration.

Philatelists, historians and visitors described these letters as “living pieces of India’s freedom struggle,” and they formed an emotional centrepiece of the display.

INA Medals Manufactured in Vienna: A Rare Highlight

A major attraction at Bongopex 2025 was Dasgupta’s extraordinary collection of military decorations issued by the Provisional Government of Azad Hind. These medals were manufactured during World War II by Rudolf Souval, a renowned Vienna-based maker of German military decorations. Therefore each medal bears the embossed mark “RUDOLF SOUVAL” on the reverse.

Dasgupta’s collection includes almost every known variety of INA medals, such as the Sher-e-Hind (Grand Star), the highest military decoration conceived by Azad Hind; the Sardar-e-Jung (1st Class Star), regarded as the second-highest honour; the Vir-e-Hind (Warrior of India); the Shahid-e-Bharat Bronze, often compared to the modern Param Vir Chakra; and the Tamgha-e-Azadi and Tamgha-e-Bahadur, issued in gold, silver and bronze grades. Each of these medals is inscribed with “Indiens Freiheitskampfe”—German for India’s Freedom Struggle.

Collectors described Dasgupta’s display as one of the finest ever presented in India, especially since it included not only the medals but also the original presentation boxes and full sets of wartime ribbons.

Philatelic Rarities: Azad Hind Postal Covers & Jumping Tiger Patch

The Vermeil-winning exhibit also showcased an extensive collection of Azad Hind postal material, including circulated and uncirculated covers, rare tricolour INA stamps depicting soldiers raising the Azad Hind flag, and extremely scarce wartime philatelic items issued in territories influenced by Netaji’s movement.

A highlight for military-history enthusiasts was a hand-embroidered “Freies Indien” Jumping Tiger shoulder patch, once worn by INA officers. The patch is considered one of the rarest artefacts linked to INA uniforms and is seldom seen in the Indian philatelic circuit.

Dasgupta further displayed multiple covers sent to INA families in India from Rangoon, Malaya, Singapore and Burma after Independence, many adorned with hand-drawn portraits of Netaji. Experts remarked that this unique combination of postal history and patriotic art elevated the exhibit to museum-level significance.

Post-Independence Memorabilia & Global Tributes to Netaji

The exhibit extended beyond wartime material and included First Day Covers, Special Covers, commemorative postcards and stamps issued in India after Independence, celebrating Netaji and the INA. Dasgupta also showcased global philatelic releases honouring Bose from countries across Europe and Asia, alongside rare INA currency used in Japanese-occupied Burma.

Complementing the philatelic items was a curated selection of vintage matchboxes featuring Netaji’s image, precious research publications by INA veterans, and badges and tokens issued by Netaji-inspired organisations in the decades following Independence.

Collector Speaks on Preserving Netaji’s Legacy

Speaking after receiving the Vermeil Award, Prithwish Dasgupta said that documenting Netaji’s journey and the INA’s sacrifices remains his life’s mission. “Any item connected with Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose or the INA is precious and worthy of preservation. Collecting and conserving these materials is my way of honouring India’s freedom struggle,” he said.

With the honour at Bongopex 2025, Dasgupta has been widely acknowledged as one of India’s foremost Netaji collectors and among the rare experts preserving the legacy of Azad Hind through authentic archival material. His work continues to contribute to historical research, public exhibitions and a deeper national understanding of one of India’s most inspiring chapters.

Since its inception, the Foundation has commemorated the birth anniversary of Shri Jamnalal Bajaj by honouring individuals who have made significant contributions to humanitarian causes and Gandhian constructive programmes. Each awardee is presented with a Citation, Trophy, and a Cash Prize, in recognition of their selfless and committed efforts toward societal upliftment.

 The details of the awards for this year (2025) are:

Shekhar Bajaj, Chairman, Board of Trustees, Jamnalal Bajaj Foundation, addressing the occasion, said,

“Every year, the Jamnalal Bajaj Foundation Awards shine a light on extraordinary individuals whose selfless work brings Gandhian values to life in today’s world. This year’s recipients have not only transformed communities but also inspired a deeper commitment to compassion and constructive action. As we celebrate their achievements, we also take a moment to remember Late Shri Madhur Bajaj, whose quiet leadership and deep belief in the Foundation’s purpose remain integral to its journey forward. May these stories encourage many more to walk the path of service and social change.”

Dr R. A. Mashelkar, Chairman of the Council of Advisers, stated,

“Our awardees are our modern-day satyagrahis — warriors of conscience who fight with compassion, not confrontation. Each of them has proved that one determined heart can bring light where there was darkness, hope where there was despair. The awardees we honour today are living embodiments of Gandhian resilience, truth, and non-violence. Their work transcends boundaries and generations, proving that the principles of Shri Jamnalalji and Gandhiji remain timeless and transformative. Their dedication not only uplifts communities but also reaffirms our belief in the power of ethical leadership and unity in action.”

Minal Bajaj, Trustee & Hon. Director, Jamnalal Bajaj Foundation, stated,

“Mahatma Gandhi had said about Shri Jamnalal Bajaj, who was adopted as his 5th son, that ‘he did not earn a single rupee through unethical means and whatever he earned, he spent it all for the good of the people.” Rather than an owner, he remained a trustee of his wealth. If one goes through the life of Shri Jamnalal Bajaj, one will recognise the tremendous influence which he had on Gandhiji. Jamanlal ji inspired his whole family to imbibe the Gandhian way of life. Our Awards purely serve these ideals. The Foundation leaves no stone unturned to reach the furthest corners of our country and the globe to identify hidden gems, ranging from those who have transformed the lives of a small community to those who have dared to change the course of a nation’s history. Our mission remains steadfast—to celebrate individuals and their selfless dedication.”

The Man behind the Awards – Jamnalal Bajaj was among the stalwarts who gave of himself completely – mind, body and soul to India’s freedom movement. He overreached himself in turning words into deeds and in implementing the Constructive Programme of Mahatma Gandhi, be it Khadi, Dalit welfare, women’s emancipation, ethics in business, or the preservation of cattle wealth through Goseva. So much so that Mahatma Gandhi adopted him as his fifth son and was the alter ego of the Mahatma in the Gandhian Constructive Movement. His second son, Ramkrishna Bajaj, carried this legacy through his ethical leadership in business and philanthropy, and established the Jamnalal Bajaj Foundation to fulfil his father’s ideals.

New Delhi [India], November 20: In a world where women juggle countless roles—mother, wife, professional, friend, creator—very few pause to rediscover themselves. But some women rise above expectations, rewrite their story, and dare to step into a new version of who they are meant to be.

Sushma Shetty, crowned Mrs Beyond Looks – Mrs India INC, is one such extraordinary woman.

Her journey is not just about a pageant. It’s about courage. Reinvention. Inner strength. And the unstoppable spirit of a woman who chose to bloom again at 41.

From Bangalore to the National Stage — A Journey of Grit & Grace

Born and raised in Bangalore, Karnataka, Sushma built a life rooted in determination and dreams. Professionally, she flourished as a Program Management Lead in one of the leading IT industries, navigating complex challenges with clarity, structure, and leadership.

But Sushma is not a woman of one identity. Her creative spark led her to become a stylist and content creator, merging fashion with storytelling. Through her work, she connected deeply with women who felt unseen, unheard, or unsure of reclaiming their individuality.

Yet, amidst success and routine, another question started to rise within her:

What about my story? What is the dream that I left behind?

That question changed everything.

A Mother’s Strength. A Husband’s Support. A Woman’s Rebirth.

Every powerful woman stands on a foundation that gives her wings.

For Sushma, that foundation is her family.

She was raised by a mother whose “never-die spirit” became the blueprint of her own resilience. Watching her mother rise from challenges, rebuild life, and never lose hope gave Sushma the belief that strength is not taught—it is lived.

In her husband, she found the quiet, steady anchor every dreamer needs. His faith in her, without conditions or judgments, pushed her to pursue ambitions she once believed were out of reach.

Together, they didn’t just support her—they empowered her to rediscover herself.

Stepping Into Mrs India INC — A Leap of Courage at 41

At 41, many women hesitate to start something new. They fear being judged, questioned, or misunderstood. But Sushma chose differently.

She stepped into the Mrs India INC pageant not to prove anything to anyone, but to remind herself that ambition doesn’t have an expiry date. Confidence doesn’t diminish with age. And dreams don’t fade unless you allow them to.

When she walked onto that stage, she carried:

•    The courage her mother taught her

•    The belief her husband gave her

•    And the fire she always carried within herself

What she discovered in this journey was profound:

A pageant isn’t about beauty. It’s about becoming brave enough to be seen.

Winning ‘Mrs Beyond Looks’ — A Crown of Authenticity

Among all the glamorous moments, rehearsals, performances, and personality rounds, one title stood out and found its rightful home—

Mrs Beyond Looks – Mrs India INC.

This title didn’t celebrate appearance. It celebrated essence.

It honored the woman who showed resilience, sincerity, maturity, and authenticity.

For Sushma, the win wasn’t just a crown—it was a message:

“Strength, authenticity, and inner confidence are the real crown a woman wears.”

It validated every moment of doubt she overcame and every spark of courage she chose to follow.

A Vision for the Future — Empowering Women to Redefine Themselves

Sushma’s journey has awakened a mission within her.

Her dream is to build a meaningful platform that inspires women—especially mothers—to rediscover who they are, beyond responsibilities and roles.

She wants to blend style, confidence, and real storytelling to give women tools to:

•    express their individuality

•    reclaim their identity

•    believe that reinvention is possible at any age

Her message is clear:

Every woman has a story worth celebrating—and it’s never too late to start rewriting it.

A Message From Sushma to Every Woman

In her own heartfelt words:

“I was raised by a mother who taught me resilience and married a man who taught me belief. At 41, I dared to dream again.

This journey taught me something deeper: a pageant is never just about beauty. It’s about how you feel in your own skin, how boldly you allow yourself to be seen, and how far you’re willing to push beyond your limits.”

“To every woman reading this…”

•    You don’t need perfect circumstances to begin.

•    Start where you are.

•    Own your story.

•    Push your boundaries.

Your courage is your true beauty — and your journey can begin today.”

Gratitude to the Pageant Team

With deep appreciation, Sushma acknowledges the Mrs India INC platform:

“Thank you for creating a space that celebrates women beyond appearances — women with stories, strength, purpose, and heart.

This journey helped me discover a braver, more grounded version of myself. I am forever grateful for the learning, support, and spotlight you gave us to shine.”

The Story of a Woman Who Chose Herself

Sushma Shetty’s journey is not defined by age, achievements, or titles.

It is defined by courage—the courage to pause, to rediscover, and to rise again.

Her story is a reminder that a woman becomes truly unstoppable not when she tries to fit into the world’s expectations, but when she starts honoring the power within herself.

She is not just Mrs Beyond Looks.

She is a symbol of transformation.

A voice of courage.

A celebration of womanhood.

And for thousands of women across India, she will always be the reminder that—

“It’s never too late to begin again.”

Building a Legacy Not Written in History Books, but in Human Hearts

New Delhi [India], November 19: In a world where innovation often moves faster than compassion, Asha Deepika Attaluri stands as a rare focus — a visionary who blends technology, humanity, and purpose with effortless grace. A Global Changemaker, Technologist, Humanitarian, Entrepreneur, Elevitta Mrs. India World Congeniality, and one of India’s Most Admired Women Leaders of 2025, Asha proves that true leadership is rooted not in accolades but in intention.

A Mission Beyond Titles

Asha’s journey is guided by a calling much deeper than professional achievement. She believes progress must be built on empathy, and that every innovation should serve people at its core.

“I’m not just building solutions — I’m building humanity’s next chapter,” she says.

Behind every remarkable woman is an unshakable foundation of love and belief — and for Asha, that foundation is her family, faith, and the universe itself. She often recalls the influence of her uncle, who shaped her values and purpose.

“My uncle has been my greatest mentor and moral compass,” she shares. “He always told me, ‘Earn your money in the mountains, but give it back to society as if it’s grass.’ Those words have guided every decision I’ve made.”

Her purpose is simple yet profound: to empower, uplift, and remind the world that humanity rises the highest when we rise together.

A Humanitarian with a Global Vision

While Asha’s expertise spans data, AI, and advanced sciences, her heart beats strongest for humanitarian service. She transformed a modest yoga foundation into a million-dollar charity rooted in ancient Indian Vedic wisdom. Under her leadership, the foundation has supported initiatives across health, education, emotional wellness, and community development.

Her entrepreneurial spirit found new expression with The Visakha — a luxury brand that donates its profits to global causes. By integrating AI-generated imagery and sustainable processes, Visakha proves that elegance, innovation, and social responsibility can beautifully coexist. For Asha, entrepreneurship is not about creating wealth — it is about creating impact and giving back to the world that shaped her.

Restoring Culture, Empowering Communities

One of Asha’s most transformative initiatives is her partnership with the Government of Himachal Pradesh. Together, they are developing an eco-tourism and meditation circuit inspired by the ancient Silk Routes. This project aims to revive forgotten traditions, empower artisans, generate employment, and promote sustainable development

“It’s about restoring the power of community — where opportunity meets identity and unity,” she shares.

Where Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Science

Asha strongly believes that the future of innovation lies in balance — in merging the ancient sciences of India with cutting-edge technology. Her work extends into peptide research, maternal AI systems, anti-aging studies, and sustainable global health models.

“When tradition and technology come together, we don’t just advance — we evolve,” she says.

Leadership Rooted in Kindness

Winning the title of Mrs. India World Congeniality was not a destination for Asha but a testament to her personality. Her leadership is defined by humility, warmth, and the ability to inspire hope in every space she enters. Whether addressing global forums or connecting with rural communities, she carries the same message of faith, purpose, and perseverance.

Mission OneKind – A Global Movement

Asha’s upcoming initiative, Mission OneKind, aims to unite artisans, innovators, and changemakers across the world. It is designed to provide visibility, opportunity, and empowerment to purpose-driven creators everywhere.

“My goal is impactnot fame. My mission is to unite sellers and buyers, remove the barriers in between, and reduce costs so true value and talent reaches the right hands.” Asha says. “When people are empowered with education, health, and purpose, humanity doesn’t just survive — it rises.”

A Legacy of Light

Asha Deepika Attaluri’s story is more than an achievement-driven biography — it is a movement of revolution, hope, and empathy. She continues to prove that success is not defined by what we create, but by how many lives we transform.

As her name beautifully reflects — Asha Deepika, the light of hope — she carries that light into every life she touches.

At a Mumbai press meet, Sadbhavana Vruddhashram members Shri Vijay Dobaria and Shri Mital Khetani joined donors Shri Hasubhai Nagrecha & Smt Umiben Radia, who gifted ₹108 crore, to unveil a 151-crore tree drive and free elderly care expansion.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 20:  As a step to strengthen its ongoing elderly community and environment–centred charitable initiatives, Sadbhavna Vruddhashram, a Rajkot–based and the world’s biggest old–age home for elderly, poor and sick individuals, has announced to plant 151 crore trees across India with a motive to make entire India ‘Green’. In another initiative, Sadbhavna Vruddhashram has announced plans to construct the world’s largest free care and old-age home facility by building seven 11-storey buildings at Rampar on Rajkot–Jamnagar Road at a cost of Rs 400 crore.

Plans the Rs 400 Crore Expansion with the World’s Biggest Free Care, Old–Age Home Facility to House 5,000 Elderly

• To Provide Old Age Home Free Care to the Elderly, Childless and Poor from Maharashtra and All Other Parts of India 
• Pujya Morari Bapu’s Ramkatha to be held in Ghatkopar from 22nd to 30th November to support the Initiative 
• MLA Shri Paragbhai Kishorbhai Shah and family to serve as the “Manorathi”
• Vinubhai Bachubhai Nagrecha (London) Donates Rs 108 Crore for the new Project 

Shri Vijay Dobariya, Founder of Sadbhavna Vruddhashram, who is popularly known as ‘The Green Man’ or ‘Van Pandit’ and Shri Mital Khetani, Advisor of Sadbhavna Vruddhashram, along with other key members, announced these two major initiatives at a Press Conference in Mumbai today. On the occasion, eminent members and guests such as Shri. Hasubhai Nagrecha, Smt. Umiben Radia, Shri Dhirendra Kanabar, and Shri Govind Bhanushali were present. Sadbhavna Vruddhashram felicitated Shri Hasubhai Nagrecha and Smt Umiben Radia, whose family generously donated Rs 108 crore to the expansion of the old-age home.

Out of these two mega initiatives, Sadbhavna Vruddhashram’s ongoing efforts of environmental conservation will go on a national level, where it will plant 151 crore trees across India, out of which three crore trees will be planted initially alone in Maharashtra. The expansion of an old-age home will make its existing free–of–cost old–age home facility accessible to all needy, unprivileged, disabled, abandoned, and lonely elderly from across India who need continuous care, accommodation, and medical support. It is the world’s largest old-age home, with 1,400 rooms, and features the finest infrastructure to provide lifelong care to over 5,000 bedridden and helpless elderly individuals who can access the facility from any corner of the country. Also, the Institute will provide a free–care old–age home facility to elderly individuals from Maharashtra and other parts of the country.

For constructing the new complex of an old-age home, the London–based Vinubhai Bachubhai Nagrecha family (Hasubhai Nagrecha and Umiben Radia) has generously donated Rs 108 crore for this world’s largest old-age home.

To support Sadbhavna Vruddhashram’s mission with the intention of spreading devotion and fostering greenery across the nation, Pujya Sant Morari Bapu’s ‘Manas Vande Mataram’ Ramkatha will be held at Acharya Atre Maidan, Ghatkopar, starting from Saturday, 22nd November, till Sunday, 30th November, with Katha sessions beginning from 10 AM onwards. The Manorathi – Principal Hosts – of this divine event are Shri Paragbhai Kishorbhai Shah, a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) of Maharashtra Assembly and family.

Announcing these two ambitious programmes, Shri Vijay Dobariya, Founder of Sadbhavna Vruddhashram, said, “In the last ten years, Sadbhavna Vruddhashram has planted and nurtured 1.10 crore trees, including 40 Lakh protected trees and 70 Lakh trees grown using the Miyawaki forest technique. Going forward, we aim to plant and sustain over 151 crore trees across India. Further, considering the increasing need for old–age homes for elderly people from across India, a new and expansive old-age home consisting of seven 11-storey buildings is being constructed in Rajkot.” Spread across 15 acres, this state-of-the-art, old-age home will include a Temple, Annapurna dining hall, a library, an Exercise Area, a Yoga Hall, a Medical Center, Gardens, and a Community Hall with all essential amenities provided under one roof for the ease of elderly people for free of cost.

Talking about the plans of planting trees, Shri Dobariya added, “Sadbhavna Old-Age Home aspires to plant, nurture and grow more than 15 crore trees in Gujarat and over 151 crore trees across India. In the coming days, 150 such forests will be created across Gujarat with the support of the government, various institutions, donors, volunteers, government bodies and companies.”

Explaining the rationale behind these unique initiatives, Shri Mital Khetani, Advisor of Sadbhavna Vruddhashram, said, “Planting trees is easy, but caring for them is difficult. At our organisation, we plant and protect the trees by taking complete responsibility for their maintenance, including watering trees planted in public spaces. Further, a free and modern shelter will provide a dignified place to live to the childless, disabled, bed-ridden and abandoned elderly people where they will receive all kinds of facilities.”

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 21: The sacred Jain pilgrimage site Palitana will witness an unforgettable and auspicious moment on the morning of 23rd November, when Panyas Shri Labdhivallabh Vijayji Maharaj will be bestowed with the revered Acharya Pad. This unique and historic ceremony will take place at the holy grounds of Siddhvadh Mahatirth in Palitana.

Panyas Bhagwant Shri Labdhivallabh Vijayji Maharaj is currently 37 years old, but he took diksha at the tender age of eight. He has now completed 29 years in monkhood. Being appointed to the Acharya position at such a young age is itself remarkable, and Acharya Shrimad Vijay Rashmiratnasurishwarji Maharaj Saheb will confer this honour at the sacred Siddhvadh Tirth.

Panyaspravar Labdhivallabh Vijayji Maharaj has lived his monastic life with limited interaction, deep dedication to the welfare of the Jain Sangh, and an unwavering commitment to study. In his life, resolve has always been above personal identity, and peaceful, dedicated action above fame.

The Acharyapad ceremony will be held in the august presence of more than 200 monks and nuns. A large gathering of devotees is expected to witness this divine occasion. As soon as news of the ceremony spread, feelings of reverence and devotion surged in the hearts of shrāvaks, shravikas, upāsaks, and the entire Jain community. The ceremony will be conducted with utmost peace, discipline, and the humble dignity of the Guru tradition.

Although the Acharya installation is on 23rd November, the spiritual events begin a day earlier. On 22nd November, at 6 AM, an Open Sky Meditation session will be held. Later, at 9 AM, devotees will be introduced to “An Unknown Facet” of Labdhivallabh Vijayji Maharaj’s life. In the evening at 7 PM, a devotional event titled “Namo Aiyariyanam” will be held, celebrating the glory of Acharyas.

Against the sacred backdrop of Shatrunjay Giriraj, the historic Acharya installation ceremony will take place on 23rd November at exactly 4 PM. Labdhivallabh Vijayji Maharaj is known as a powerful orator whose words and thoughts often move devotees to tears.

The Suripad, that is, the Acharyapad, is the third and a highly exalted rank in the Jain monastic hierarchy. It is a position where virtue, merit, and purity converge. It is a spiritual state where negative karma cannot enter. It shows the path to liberation and guides those who have lost their way. The Acharyapad is not a symbol of fame, authority, or grandeur—it is a responsibility accepted with humility, representing tradition, discipline, and the highest ideals of monkhood.

Thousands of dedicated devotees are eager to witness these sacred moments organised by devoted Guru-bhaktas.

It is also worth noting that Siddhvadh Mahatirth recently witnessed the profound spiritual practice of Updhaan Tap, whose Moksha Mala will be held on 21st November. Updhaan Tap is the festival of detaching from the ‘other’ and becoming one with the ‘self’.

Under the guidance of Param Tapasvi P. P. Acharya Hemvallabhsurishwarji Maharaj, P. P. Panyas Shri Labdhivallabh Vijayji Maharaj, and P. P. Panyas Shri Yashratnavijay Maharaj, a unique celebration of Paryushan was organised at Siddhvadh. With the guidance of 175 monks and nuns, over 1100 devotees observed 21 hours of silence daily. They renounced mobile phones for nearly two months and engaged in six hours of study daily.

Panyas Labdhivallabh Vijayji Maharaj deepened the essence of monastic life—peace, gentleness, and discipline—through silence, self-restraint, study, and guidance.

During this monsoon period, 800 devotees participated in Updhaan Tap, and 380 devotees will complete their Moksha Mala on 21.11.2025. The entire Chaturmasya spiritual event was sponsored by Mumbai’s Matushri Hiralaxmiben Khantilal Shah, representing the Chandan family.

(LtoR): Mr Ravee Shanker, Chief Marketing Officer, Krishna Bhumi Arcade; Sreekar Patel, Divisional Forest Officer, Mathura; Madan Dubey, ACEO, Uttar Pradesh Braj Teerth Vikas Parishad

Vrindavan (Uttar Pradesh) [India], November 21: Krishna Bhumi Arcade, an initiative by Infinity Group, in partnership with the Forest, Environment & Climate Change Department of Uttar Pradesh, and Braj Teerth Vikas Parishad (BTVP), held a pre-event press conference today to announce the upcoming one of a kind event of Shri Bihar Panchami Panchavati Mahotsav, scheduled for 25th November 2025 at the historic Vaishnav Baithak site, Vrindavan.

• A 140-acre ecological restoration initiative is happening at Kumbh Poorva Baithak sthal, located between Parikrama Marg and the Yamuna riverbank
• 108 Mahants & saints to plant 108 sacred Panchvati trees to revive Vrindavan’s ancient ecology
• A seva-led development model preserving Vrindavan’s spiritual heritage in its original form
• Aligns with Vrindavan’s ₹30,000-crore integrated cultural and ecological masterplan
• Enhances the pilgrim experience as footfall rises from 2.45 crore to a projected six crore in the next 5 years

The briefing was addressed by Madan Dubey, ACEO, Uttar Pradesh Braj Teerth Vikas Parishad; Venkata Sreekar Patel, Divisional Forest Officer, Mathura; and Mr Ravee Shanker, Chief Marketing Officer, Krishna Bhumi Arcade.

While addressing the significance of Bihar Panchami, Mr Ravee Shanker, Chief Marketing Officer, Krishna Bhumi Arcade, said, “For the past two years, Krishna Bhumi has been working through a tripartite agreement with Braj Teerth Vikas Parishad and Nagar Nigam on the ecological upliftment and green restoration of the Kumbh-Poorva Vaishnav Baithak land. Last monsoon’s flooding and waterlogging severely damaged many trees and climbers in the area. The Bihar Panchami Panchavati Mahotsav is being organised to accelerate this restoration effort and strengthen Vrindavan’s sacred ecology.”

“Infinity Group has been committed to sustainable development for over three decades. Nearly 25 years ago, the Group built the world’s seventh green building and the second Platinum-rated green building outside the United States. Since then, all Infinity projects have been certified as green. Krishna Bhumi Arcade, India’s first spiritual and cultural product mall, is also a pre-certified Gold-rated green building.”

“At the heart of this Mahotsav is the seva-led development and preservation of Shri Vrindavan Dham. Through Panchvati plantation, we aim to restore Vrindavan’s ancient ecology, reinforce the Yamuna riverbank, and protect the cultural landscape that has shaped devotion for centuries. Our principle is simple and unwavering- what is built in the Dham must serve the Dham”, he further added.

The 140-acre plantation land lies between Parikrama Marg and the Yamuna, the two sacred pathways that define Vrindavan’s ancient geography. Every pilgrim entering the Bihari Ji Temple through Parikrama Marg will naturally encounter this restored green zone, transforming their journey into an immersive ecological experience rooted in the original Vrindavan ethos.

On the auspicious occasion of Bihar Panchami, and with the sacred presence and blessings of the revered saints of Braj, Vrindavan presents an exceptional model of Kunj Seva, where nature conservation, ecological nourishment, and human life come together in harmonious balance at the lotus feet of Shri Bihari Lal.”

According to the information, the Mahotsav will be inaugurated in the divine presence of 108 prominent Shri Mahants, Mahants, and saints of Braj, by Dr. Arun Kumar Saxena, Hon’ble State Minister (Independent Charge), Forest, Environment, Forest Protection & Climate Change, Government of Uttar Pradesh; Grammy Award winner and Padma Bhushan awardee Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt (creator of the Mohan Veena) and Tantri Samrat Pandit Salil Bhatt (creator of the Satvik Veena) along with renowned Pandit Ajay Prasanna, three-time Grammy Award nominee.

Furthermore, the event encourages community participation through Tulsi plantation, inviting residents and devotees to join Vrindavan’s ecological revival.

Speakers emphasised that planting Panchvati trees along the Yamuna riverbank is both a spiritual act and an essential ecological intervention in the rapidly urbanising Bihari Ji Corridor. As Vrindavan is regarded as Bharat ki Adhyatmik Rajdhani, given the heavy footfall at the Bihariji temple, this green zone will serve as a living ecological garden, offering natural breathing space, enhancing spiritual ambience, and reviving the visual beauty of ancient Vrindavan where nature, devotion and culture once existed in seamless harmony.

This initiative is set to protect the sanctified terrain blessed by Bihari ji. It offers devotees a glimpse of Vrindavan as it once existed, where nature, devotion and culture seamlessly coexisted.

A key highlight shared during the press conference was that Krishna Bhumi by Infinity group has been entrusted with 140 acres of ‘Kumbh Poorva Vaishnav Baithak’ land by BTVP, the nodal body driving Vrindavan’s holistic development under a ₹30,000+ crore allocated budget; MVDA, and Nagar Nigam for plantation, landscaping, and maintenance, reinforcing the Infinity Group’s commitment to Vrindavan’s ecological preservation as part of its CSR responsibilities.

While inviting the audience to witness this rare convergence, the speakers concluded that the Bihar Panchami Panchvati Mahotsav 2025 represents a new model of sustainable spiritual development, preserving age-old Vrindavan with the blessings of Bihari Ji, strengthening the pilgrim experience through ecological restoration, and demonstrating that true development in the Dham is development through seva.

Further event details will be shared at the main ceremony on November 25.

New Delhi [India], November 25: In discussions about entrepreneurial versatility, the term “serial entrepreneur” is often applied broadly, sometimes too broadly. Many founders operate multiple ventures without necessarily demonstrating depth across industries. Terry Fisher represents a more substantive version of the phrase, someone who has built, turned around, scaled, and sold companies in sectors that usually require distinct forms of expertise. His career offers a practical case study for entrepreneurs seeking to understand how cross-sector excellence is actually developed and sustained.

Fisher’s path began in the travel industry, one of the UK’s most competitive consumer markets. At 19, he founded Travelworld, a single retail shop that he scaled into a network of 132 outlets across the country. This expansion was unusual not merely because of the scale, but because it took place during an era when structural challenges in the sector,  rising competition, shifting consumer expectations, and increased pressure on margins made expansion particularly difficult. The company’s eventual sale became Fisher’s first major exit and introduced him to the complexities of operating within large, established organisations.

Early Lessons in Operational Precision

After Travelworld, Fisher was appointed to senior leadership roles inside some of the UK’s most recognised travel businesses. These roles exposed him to the operational realities of large organisations, bureaucracy, layered decision-making, and legacy processes. His ability to navigate and correct these inefficiencies became one of his most defining skills.

At Going Places, Fisher delivered a rapid turnaround, restoring profitability and generating £25 million in annual profit after a period of prolonged financial decline. His tenure at Gold Medal Travel Group produced a similarly notable outcome: he led the company to £9 million profit. He positioned it for a sale that closed at £86.5 million, significantly above initial valuations.

Industry observers attribute these results to Fisher’s direct leadership style, which is anchored in two principles he frequently references:

• “Know your exit — and build the business around it.”
• “Change the people, or change the people.”

These ideas underpin Fisher’s approach to structuring organisations. The first emphasises clarity, designing a business with the endpoint in mind, while the second reinforces accountability, ensuring teams are composed of those capable of delivering at pace.

A Defining Moment at Thomas Cook

Fisher’s appointment to the board of Thomas Cook, a company he had once declared he would run at age 19, placed him at the centre of one of the most scrutinised corporate chapters in UK travel. The company faced mounting pressures: structural debt, declining market share, and a failure to modernise rapidly enough.

Fisher proposed a strategic restructuring plan aimed at long-term stability. The board rejected the proposals. In response, Fisher made a decisive move: he resigned and attempted to acquire the business independently. Within 45 minutes, he secured commitments for £500 million. The acquisition did not proceed, but the moment became symbolic of his conviction-driven leadership. When Thomas Cook collapsed 18 months later, analysts revisited Fisher’s proposals as a potential turning point the company did not take.

Crossing Into New Sectors

After stepping away from corporate travel, Fisher entered a broader entrepreneurial phase that took him across industries and continents. His ventures included publishing in Marbella, hospitality investments, spirits, property development in Leeds, and advisory roles across the UK, Europe, and the United States. What stood out was the consistency of his operational approach across industries.

One of Fisher’s most significant non-travel successes came from an unexpected sector: technology. His investment in Voisey, a music collaboration app, demonstrated his adaptability and his ability to recognise talent and potential outside his traditional domain. Voisey’s growth accelerated during the pandemic as musicians and creators sought digital tools for collaboration. Less than two years after Fisher’s involvement, the platform was acquired by Snap Inc. for more than $100 million, producing multi-million-pound returns for the founders and a 60x return for Fisher.

This exit strengthened his profile within the technology sector, positioning him as a traditional operator who successfully bridged into an industry often dominated by younger, digitally native founders.

A Global Portfolio With a Strategic Core

Today, Fisher’s portfolio is international and diverse, reflecting his comfort operating across unrelated categories. His investments include:

• early-stage technology companies
• energy storage ventures
• spirits brands
• healthcare operations
• hospitality and property interests

Yet the through-line connecting these sectors is Fisher’s approach to value creation: identify inefficiency, impose clarity, empower the right teams, and design operations with the exit already defined.

These principles have become central to the way younger founders and investors view Fisher’s cross-sector achievements. Rather than relying on deep industry knowledge, he applies structural thinking and operational discipline,  allowing him to enter markets others may consider too unfamiliar.

A Significant But Less Publicised Chapter in Football

A lesser-known part of Fisher’s leadership journey took place in professional football, where he became the youngest owner and chairman in the Football League at just 29 years old. Leading Huddersfield Town through a period of dramatic change, Fisher oversaw:

• the club’s promotion
• The development of a new modern stadium
• a rise in weekly attendance from 4,000 to more than 16,000

This period is widely viewed as one of the most transformative in the club’s contemporary history. While Fisher’s business principles shaped his corporate outcomes, he does not apply them to the football environment,  a distinction he emphasises. His decisions in the sporting world were driven by community objectives, long-term infrastructure, and institutional sustainability rather than exit structures.

Today, Fisher continues his involvement in football through Sunday Ventures, advising and supporting projects linked to teams in Italy, Brazil, and California. His presence in the sector underscores the breadth of his operational experience, demonstrating that leadership principles rooted in clarity and execution can translate even into the complexities of global sport,   when adapted appropriately.

A Blueprint for Modern Entrepreneurs

In an ecosystem that often rewards rapid scaling and short-term visibility, Fisher’s cross-sector career offers a counter-narrative. His success reflects not speed for its own sake, but structural discipline, long-term planning, and a willingness to make difficult decisions early.

Entrepreneurs studying Fisher’s career find lessons that extend beyond industry-specific knowledge:

• Understand the value drivers early
• Build with the endpoint in mind
• Empower teams capable of delivering under pressure
• Act decisively when markets shift

For founders seeking longevity rather than fleeting momentum, Fisher’s journey demonstrates that true versatility is engineered,  not improvised.

New Delhi [India], November 25: On 21st November 2025, Kunzum Bookstore in Delhi hosted an insight-rich evening, featuring a compelling founder-to-founder conversation with Pramod Maloo, an entrepreneur, educator, and one of India’s most prominent voices in digital marketing. Known for mentoring over 25,000 students and working with 800+ brands, author of The Start-up Founder’s Guide to Digital Marketing, and Bharat Sethi, Founder of Rage Coffee, one of India’s most popular premium consumer brands, endorsed by Virat Kohli, who stepped into the role of interviewer and conversational partner for the evening.

The session brought together two of India’s sharpest entrepreneurial minds, deeply rooted in the digital and D2C ecosystem. Their exchange offered a rare operator-level view into India’s evolving digital ecosystem and the behavioural foundations of brand building.

The event opened with a warm meet-and-greet, where young entrepreneurs, creators, and readers met Pramod. The book-signing that followed reflected the deep resonance the book has generated, with many attendees sharing how it has influenced their early-stage journeys, feeling less like a formal queue and more like a community gathering where people shared their own experiences of building, experimenting, and trying to create something meaningful in the digital world. Many spoke about Pramod’s relatable approach of “no hacks, only human psychology”, which the book “The Start-up Founder’s Guide to Digital Marketing” breaks down into actionable frameworks for anyone starting up.

The centrepiece of the evening was the free-flowing, podcast-style dialogue between Pramod and Bharat. Their candid back-and-forth provided a real-time masterclass in founder-led marketing. Together, they unpacked how India’s digital consumers think, behave, and make decisions in a hyper-fast, content-driven world. Their on-stage exchange captured the packed room’s attention. The conversation brought out some brilliant insights.

Bharat Sethi took the discussion deeper when he explained how the D2C business is not the same as selling on marketplaces.

Pramod Maloo took the room on a ride back to memory lane when asked how digital marketing has evolved over the years. He explained the chronological evolution of digital marketing, especially over the last 5 years, and how brands have transitioned from performance marketing to growth marketing.

Bharat Sethi, when asked if he can build another FMCG brand from scratch based on his experience of building Rage Coffee, said, “Though I have the exact blueprint in my mind, whether I can make another one like Rage is not certain. There are a lot of things that I don’t have control over, and while building Rage, those things somehow played in my favour. It’s like magic, I’m not sure if it can be repeated.

On a lighter note, Pramod Maloo pulled out a witty one-liner for Rage Coffee: “Turn every page with a cup of Rage.”

Their conversation explored founders’ biggest challenges, such as attention scarcity, trust deficits, brand storytelling, and the psychology driving India’s next generation of digital buyers.

The session concluded with an engaged audience Q&A on D2C growth, brand identity, evolving consumer behaviour, and the shift from performance marketing to narrative-driven strategy. Hands rose instantly as aspiring founders asked about career paths, content strategy, scaling D2C brands, and the future of digital marketing in India. The atmosphere remained thoughtful, energetic, and filled with entrepreneurial optimism. It reinforced why the book resonates and offers clarity in a noisy, cluttered marketing world.

Commenting on the session, a spokesperson from HarperCollins India shared, “We are proud to support authors like Pramod Maloo who bring practical, actionable frameworks to India’s entrepreneurial community. The response to the book and this event shows how hungry young founders are for real guidance.”

Speaking about the interaction, Bharat Sethi added, “Pramod’s frameworks bring clarity at a time when founders are overwhelmed by information. This book is going to be a go-to guide for early-stage entrepreneurs.”

With growing demand among first-time founders, marketers, and creators, The Start-up Founder’s Guide to Digital Marketing is now available at Kunzum Bookstore, on major online platforms, and at leading bookstores across India. Readers can continue learning from Pramod Maloo through his official page and social channels, where he shares ongoing insights, tools, and founder-friendly content.

A decade-strong movement celebrating women entrepreneurs, innovation and India’s women’s economy

New Delhi [India], November 25: For over a decade, SheThePeople’s Digital Women Awards have been one of India’s most respected platforms showcasing women-led innovation. The summit has grown into a powerful gathering of founders, creators, policymakers and changemakers, women who are building new markets, solving real problems and shaping the nation’s economic trajectory. Its 2025 edition continues that legacy with stronger partnerships, deeper conversations and a firm focus on the new wave of innovation being led by women across India.

Presented by IDFC FIRST Bank, and hosted in partnership with the Government of Telangana, and supported by the Government of India’s AI Impact Mission, the Digital Women Awards & Summit 2025 will take place on 29 November 2025 at The Westin, Mindspace, Hyderabad. As the only women-centric initiative aligned with the AI Impact Mission, it sits at the intersection of entrepreneurship, technology and inclusion.

A Platform Built On Purpose and Persistence

Now in its 11th year, the Digital Women Awards remain India’s most committed, long-running effort to recognise and amplify women entrepreneurs. With 170,000+ applications and 750 speakers over the years, the initiative has consistently demonstrated that women are not the fringe of India’s growth story, they are the centre of it.

As Shaili Chopra, Founder of SheThePeople and Gytree and Titan on Zee TV’s Ideabaaz, puts it, “Women entrepreneurs are not the side story. They are the growth story. The Digital Women Awards were built so their journeys don’t remain invisible but instead become a national force.”

This is not a one-day event but a year-round ecosystem driven by storytelling, community, access and advocacy. “Through SheThePeople, Gytree and now Ideabaaz, I meet women rewriting India’s economic script every day,” Shaili adds. “Our role is to give them the stage, the spotlight and the sisterhood, they take care of the scale.”

2025 Speakers: Voices Building India’s Future

This year’s summit brings together industry leaders and trailblazers driving change in technology, entrepreneurship and culture. Featured speakers include: Shri Jayesh Ranjan, Special Secretary, Government of Telangana. Pratik Gandhi, Actor & Ambassador, Ideabaaz, Raj Nayak House of Cheer, CRO of Bombay Stock Exchange Kamala K, Krishna Priya, Founder, Stratbuzz AI, Meghna Khanna of The Bindi Project, Comic Jeeya Sethi and Haripriya Bains etc

These sessions will explore AI-led growth, women in emerging tech, the rise of India’s women’s economy, midlife health innovation, sustainable consumer brands, and the creator-led digital landscape. A dedicated track on Women & AI reflects the initiative’s national significance. Topics include AI for climate, agriculture, women’s health, ethical AI, creator tools and AI-driven markets for India’s next billion users.

Why This Initiative Matters

Millions of women in India launch businesses without capital, networks or visibility. The Digital Women Awards were created to correct this imbalance. Supported by national and state partners, the initiative ensures that women-led innovation becomes discoverable, fundable and future-ready. It connects women entrepreneurs to policymakers, investors, corporates, media and each other, building a sisterhood that sustains long after the summit ends.

A Decade Forward

With over 500 women founders expected, a marketplace of women-led brands and insight-driven conversations across sectors, the SheThePeople Digital Women Awards & Summit 2025 stands as India’s most influential gathering for women in entrepreneurship.

Break old ceilings. Build new tables. And put women at the centre of India’s next big leap

The atmosphere inside the LTG Repertory was electric on the 20th of November evening as the curtains fell on the highly anticipated production of “War Brides”. What began as a theatrical performance ended as a profound social dialogue, leaving the audience in a state of contemplative silence before erupting into applause.

Written by Marion Craig Wentworth, the play has long been regarded as a classic text, but this new adaptation, directed by Vipin Kumar, injected it with a startling contemporary urgency. By transforming the script into a musical play, the production team managed to bridge the gap between the historical context of the original text and the volatile geopolitical landscape of 2025.

The production did not shy away from difficult conversations. Director Vipin Kumar was clear about the intent behind the staging. In a post-show statement, he emphasised that this was not merely entertainment, but a necessary reflection on reality.

“Through this play, we aim to comment on the current state of geopolitics, particularly in the context of ongoing conflicts around the world,” Kumar stated. He drew specific parallels to the tensions between major global powers like America and Russia, noting, “We are not just telling a story; we are reflecting on the current state of the world. We hope that our play will inspire audiences to think critically about the world around them.”

One of the most striking elements of the evening was the integration of music into the dramatic narrative. With a score composed by Rahul and lyrics penned by Harsh, the play utilised melody to underscore the tragedy of the narrative. The musical numbers were not interruptions but rather extensions of the characters’ emotional states, ranging from melancholic ballads to powerful ensemble pieces that challenged the status quo.

The play’s visual language employed hard-hitting images to portray the devastating impact of war on civilians, with a specific focus on the exploitation of women in war-torn lands. Assistant Director Shikha Malhotra played a pivotal role in shaping these performances. Speaking on the production, she noted the immense challenge of connecting young performers to such heavy material.

“Connecting young performers with a story of such depth couldn’t happen by simply handing them a script,” Malhotra explained. “It required daily process work, exploring different techniques, and building emotional truth together.”

As the audience exited the venue, the consensus was clear: “War Brides” is a production that questions the necessity of war and champions the resilience of women, making it one of the most relevant cultural events of the season.

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], November 28: Cosmos Queen India has crowned the three women who will represent the country at NovaCosmo Worldwide 2025 this December in Colombo, Sri Lanka — a delegation that brings together individuality, purpose, and the evolving spirit of Indian representation on the global stage. Selected after a rigorous national scouting process, the 2025 cohort reflects three distinct voices from across India, unified by conviction, and character.

Leading the Miss division is Anisha Bharalawala of Mumbai, crowned Miss NovaCosmo India 2025. Anisha — an MBA graduate and model — carries a story shaped by resilience and quiet transformation. Having overcome years of body shaming, she now speaks for young women who are learning to embrace identity, culture, and self-worth on their own terms. Her crowning moment felt to her like an affirmation rather than an arrival: a calm, grounded recognition of everything she has grown through.

Representing India in the Ms category is Sai Shreya Bhandari from Kolkata, one of the youngest delegates in this year’s lineup. A model, social media manager, and brand promoter, she brings the perspective of a generation raised in an always-online world. Having struggled with judgments about being “too skinny,” she now transforms her personal history into her advocacy — Digital Dignity, a mission to ensure young women feel safe, respected, and protected across digital spaces. She describes her crowning moment as “surreal, unreal, and deserved,” a feeling that captures the leap from aspiration to achievement.

Completing India’s international lineup is Himani Gaikwad of Pune, crowned Mrs NovaCosmo India 2025. As a creator and storyteller, Himani represents the modern married woman — grounded, ambitious, and continually evolving. Her advocacy centers around normalizing self-growth for women after marriage, reminding them that responsibilities and aspirations can coexist. She calls her crowning moment an affirmation of every role she has embraced, from home to career to public stage.

These delegates’ preparation for the international stage has been shaped by a committed support system that strengthens every Cosmos Queen India representatives. This includes her Smile Care experts at Studio 32 Clinic-Dr Kinjal Shahi and Dr. Chetan Zode, her stage and presentation training by Tanvi Kharote under Confidence and Crown, styling guidance from the Style by Serena Khat team, communication coaching with Dipakk Shahi, and the leadership of her national director Monika Shahi, whose mentorship anchors the entire pageant journey.

As the trio heads to Sri Lanka from 3rd to 8th December 2025, they carry with them the stories, aspirations, and spirit of the country they represent. Individually, they are voices of resilience, clarity, and progress. Together, they form one of India’s strongest delegations — a statement of how modern pageantry is no longer just about competition, but about identity, purpose, and meaningful representation.

This December, India will be represented not by contestants alone, but by three women prepared to lead with substance, speak with intention, and stand with pride on the NovaCosmo Worldwide stage.

Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], October 16: GD Goenka Public School, Lucknow, has once again reaffirmed its place as a leading institution in education. Ranked No.1 CBSE school (Co-Ed) in Lucknow and No.3 in Uttar Pradesh in the EducationWorld India School Rankings 2025-26, the school has now achieved this milestone for the 11th consecutive year, reflecting its sustained focus on academic excellence and holistic student development.

The award was received by Chairman Sarvesh Goel at a ceremony in New Delhi. Speaking after the recognition, he said, “Every recognition adds to our responsibility. The bigger question is not where we rank but how far we can push the boundaries of quality education in Uttar Pradesh.”

When asked what drives this consistency, Goel pointed to the philosophy that education must evolve with time. “Academics cannot be the only benchmark. Our aim is to prepare students for the real world, balancing knowledge with values, fitness, and creativity,” he explained. He added that the role of schools today is not only to create achievers in board examinations but to build well-rounded individuals ready for global challenges.

The recognition of GD Goenka comes at a time when the Yogi Adityanath government is actively strengthening education in Uttar Pradesh. The state has expanded digital classrooms, promoted skill-based learning, and invested in infrastructure. Goel acknowledged the government’s efforts, saying, “The state has taken important steps, but schools like ours need to ensure these reforms translate into real outcomes for students. Rankings matter, but the true achievement is in preparing a generation that can think, innovate, and lead.”

Beyond the classroom, Goel has also been known for community-driven initiatives. His annual event, the Lucknow Run, has become one of the city’s most popular fitness and social awareness movements. Reflecting on the importance of this effort, he said, “Running teaches perseverance and resilience. It is also a metaphor for life itself. In many ways, it mirrors education. You cannot achieve success overnight; it requires discipline, consistency, and effort.” The Lucknow Run has, over the years, promoted causes such as environmental awareness and youth engagement, furthering its impact beyond sport.

On the same day as the EducationWorld recognition, Goel was also honoured by the Indian Industries Association (IIA) Lucknow Chapter with the prestigious Udyami Ratna Award. The award acknowledged his entrepreneurial leadership, contributions and dedication to community development. Speaking about the honour, he said, “It is not just about building schools or companies. It is about building ecosystems where education, entrepreneurship, and social responsibility converge.”

In his vision for the future, Goel emphasised the need to align with global standards while keeping Indian values intact. “Our real challenge will be to integrate technology, foster creativity, and encourage problem-solving while ensuring students remain grounded. We must also bridge the gap between what is taught in schools and what the world demands. Only then can Uttar Pradesh lead the knowledge economy of India,” he said.

As the education landscape continues to evolve, GD Goenka Public School’s recognition and the honour for its chairman reflect broader trends shaping Uttar Pradesh’s academic environment. At a time when the state is making concerted efforts to raise quality and accessibility, these milestones underscore both the opportunities and the responsibilities ahead.

New Delhi [India], October 16: VIBGYOR High isn’t just running a campaign — it’s rewriting how India thinks about education. With its “Infinite Possibilities” initiative, the school network is proving that success starts where the textbooks stop.

Education with an Upgrade: Beyond Grades, Into Growth

Let’s get one thing straight — the education race isn’t about topping a board exam anymore. Parents across India are done chasing “90 per cent and burnout.” They want their kids to be confident, curious, and creative. That’s exactly where VIBGYOR High’s Infinite Possibilities campaign has hit home.

The brand’s philosophy is simple but seismic — every child has limitless potential waiting to be unlocked. And that message has clearly resonated. With 40 schools in 15 cities and a community of 55,000+ students, the Group’s fresh take on holistic learning has parents rethinking what a school should stand for.

“Parents today value schools that nurture the whole child, not just academic outcomes,” says Kavita Kerawalla, Vice Chairperson of VIBGYOR Group of Schools.

And she’s right. The numbers back it up — OECD research (2024) shows that schools prioritizing wellbeing and experiential learning see a 20% jump in engagement and higher academic retention. Translation? When kids enjoy learning, they actually learn.

Care Before Curriculum: The VIBGYOR Blueprint

Here’s where VIBGYOR flips the traditional schooling script. Instead of treating students like exam machines, the Group builds classrooms that feel more like launchpads — loaded with STEM, Robotics, Olympiads, Performing Arts, Sports, and the VIBGYOR Model United Nations (VMUN).

That’s not extracurricular fluff. It’s the backbone of their academic design. Students aren’t memorizing definitions; they’re solving problems, performing on stage, building circuits, and debating global policy — before they hit college.

Founder and Chairman Rustom Kerawalla puts it bluntly:

“When children feel emotionally secure, intellectually curious, and creatively inspired, they naturally excel.”

It’s a leadership philosophy that would make even the most hardened corporate boardroom nod in approval — care before performance. And it’s working.

Every Child, Every Possibility: Student Care That Actually Cares

The word “personalized” gets tossed around a lot in education, but VIBGYOR seems to have operationalized it. Teachers undergo continuous training to understand learning styles, strengths, and emotional needs. There’s structured counselling, mentorship, learning support, and safety protocols that set a national benchmark.

Think of it as a hybrid between an elite academy and a wellness ecosystem. From Mindful Learning sessions to Speech & Drama programmes, and community engagement projects — VIBGYOR’s model builds empathy, resilience, and leadership along with algebra.

As Kavita Kerawalla puts it:

“Our role isn’t just delivering lessons but nurturing resilience, empathy, and independent thinking.”

And in a country where academic pressure still headlines parent-teacher meetings, this shift feels almost revolutionary.

Indian Values, Global Vision

Here’s the fun part — VIBGYOR’s approach isn’t just progressive; it’s aligned with both global best practices and India’s National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

While 70% of countries (UNESCO, 2023) are retooling education systems to prioritize creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving, VIBGYOR’s classrooms are already there. The schools offer CISCE, CBSE, and Cambridge International curricula — meaning students can switch between Indian and international pathways without skipping a beat.

It’s a “best of both worlds” scenario: Indian discipline meets global flexibility. Students learn digital fluency, critical thinking, and real-world agility — skills that make them not just employable, but unshakeable.

Recognition That Matters

Awards don’t define credibility, but they do validate it. The Economic Times named VIBGYOR “Best Brand in Education 2024”, and BW Education followed up with “Top Education Brand for Academic Excellence 2024.”

That’s not PR sparkle; it’s consistent proof of execution. In a sector often weighed down by jargon and legacy thinking, VIBGYOR keeps innovating while keeping its promise: education with heart and purpose.

As Rustom Kerawalla sums up:

“We aim to redefine education as a joyful, empowering experience that celebrates individuality while preparing every child for a rapidly changing world.”

Admissions Now Open: The Future’s Calling

For parents scouting schools that care as much about confidence as calculus, admissions for 2026–27 are open across all campuses. Each school is a microcosm of “Infinite Possibilities” — tech-enabled, creativity-driven, and built on emotional intelligence.

So yes, this isn’t just another education campaign. It’s a movement challenging the Indian schooling mindset — one classroom at a time.

The Pivot 2025 presented new findings from Transform Schools’ data-centric research

New Delhi [India], October 17: Transform Schools, one of India’s leading organisations focused on improving learning and life skills for secondary school students, organised The Pivot 2025 at the India Habitat Centre, New Delhi. The pivot brought together researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and funders to collaborate on collective actions.

Themed as “Learn, Shift, Act.”, The Pivot 2025 enabled attendees to learn from emerging education trends, evidence of revolutionary learning, and create valuable partnerships across programmes and policies. The event was in line with Transform’s goal to redefine education for secondary students in India via redefining mindsets, systems, and investments.

As an organisation focused on secondary school outcomes, Transform Schools works with government and government-aided school systems. Through their innovative programs, the organisation aims to ensure that students not only attend school as a requirement but also thrive in their careers and lives. Their mission focuses on achieving measurable outcomes that drive positive change in students, teachers, schools, and education systems.

“I am extremely proud of the Transform Schools team, our Board, and Advisors for making The Pivot 2025 possible,” said Pankaj Vinayak Sharma, Co-Founder of Transform Schools.

He added, “Few organisations have the courage, technical rigour, and strong government partnerships required to measure what truly matters in education. By sharing our findings openly, we invite scrutiny and accountability — not relying solely on our intent or contribution to system change, but on specific, measurable outcomes. We aim to continue this year after year, using evidence to reflect, rethink, and strengthen our efforts. A special thanks to our Principal Investigators, Research Advisors, and consultants who have supported us in shaping and transforming the lives of millions of children through our programmes.”

The Pivot 2025 presented new findings from Transform Schools’ data-centric research and evaluations. The findings highlighted what works to improve learning, strengthen teaching, retain students, and deliver fair outcomes on a larger scale. The event featured four key research tracks:

1. Making School Years Count – Evidence from Classrooms

Findings from the Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) of the Transform Learning programme in Odisha and Karnataka showed improved learning, adaptability, and positive impacts on digital learning, STEM interest, gender equality, and life skills.

Talking about the program, Dr. Jason Kerwin, Associate Professor at the University of Washington and Principal Investigator on the RCT, said, “Our study, ‘When Given Discretion Teachers Did Not Shirk,’ found that the Utkarsh programme improved student learning by about 0.1 standard deviations—around 58% more than the control group.

2. What Drives Teaching and Learning – Predictive Models of Performance

Insights from predictive analytics based on Transform Learning assessment data and UDISE school information identified key indicators of student performance and guided data-driven interventions.

3. Staying in School – Retention and Dropout Dynamics

Evidence from the Back-to-School programme in Hyderabad showed that the VIRAM (Vulnerability Reduction Assessment Management) tool was used to identify students at risk of dropping out and support them through community programs and digital learning tools.

4. Gender, Power, and Transformation – Voices of Change

Findings from the PARity Appreciative Inquiry and Learning Equaliser qualitative studies examined how gender-focused interventions enhance knowledge, agency, and life skills along with academic success.

Prof. Sandra Sequeira, Professor of Economics at the School of Public Policy, London School of Economics, said, “Transform Schools has shown a remarkable commitment to being guided by the best evidence of what works to improve educational outcomes in secondary schools. Few education organisations are as systematic and rigorous about learning from both success and transition. The next step is to shape the long-run impact story documenting how findings are informing systems more broadly, not just projects, and to continue to be a forceful example of how research and evidence can drive policy and practice.

Through The Pivot, Transform Schools shows its commitment to improving secondary education research in India. By using evidence, collaboration, and giving transparent access to knowledge, the organisation aims to help education systems understand what works best, for whom, and in what situations.

Dr Kekhrielhoulie Yhome, Honourable Advisor, School Education and SCERT, Government of Nagaland, interacting with students at the PBL Fair in Dimapur

Dimapur (Nagaland) [India], October 17: The Department of School Education (DoSE) and Samagra Shiksha, in collaboration with the Education Above All Foundation, Mantra4Change, NagaED, and ShikshaLokam, hosted the first-ever Project-Based Learning (PBL) Fair, Nagaland, on October 17, 2025, in Dimapur. The event showcased the creativity and innovation of over 80 schools from Dimapur, featuring exhibits by 160 teachers, 320 students, and 50 school leaders who implemented PBL projects.

The fair was graced by Dr Kekhrielhoulie Yhome, Honourable Advisor, School Education and SCERT, Government of Nagaland, as the Chief Guest, along with senior officials from the state, district, and block levels.

Through project displays, storytelling sessions, and student interactions, participants demonstrated how concepts in English and Mathematics were brought to life, from designing Naga-inspired shawls that integrated art and math to setting up mini-stores that helped students apply multiplication in real-world contexts.

The fair also featured recognition of outstanding teachers and schools, dialogues on classroom innovation, and cultural performances celebrating the state’s vibrant learning ecosystem.

The fair offered a glimpse into how classrooms across Nagaland are weaving local culture into modern learning practices. At one of the exhibits, Petsula Atsula, a Class 5 student from GMS Kuda, Dimapur Urban, explained how everyday life has become part of her lessons, “Learning fractions was hard for me at first. But when my teacher taught it using Naga shawls, it became much easier! She showed us how the shapes on the shawl can be turned into fractions, and then asked me to make my own shawl from a fraction. I brought the shawl design I made to the PBL fair today!”

The PBL Fair marks a significant milestone in Nagaland’s education journey, one that has steadily evolved from strengthening foundational literacy and numeracy to fostering inquiry, creativity, and problem-solving in classrooms.

During his keynote address, Dr Kekhrielhoulie Yhome, Honourable Advisor, School Education and SCERT, Government of Nagaland, said, “We need to bring 21st-century skills into our classrooms. So far, we have focused on improving language and numeracy at the micro level, but now it’s time to think bigger. The PBL fair in Nagaland truly shows how project-based learning is transforming education here. I am very happy to see our students engage, experiment, and excel. With the support of organisations and educators, we can empower every child in Nagaland to build their own future.”

Also present at the event were Smt. Bijano Murry, Joint Mission Director, Samagra Shiksha; Shri. Kelhika Kenhe, Deputy Mission Director, Samagra Shiksha; and Smt. Jeevika Kiba, District Education Officer, Dimapur.

The jury panel, comprising experts from SCERT Nagaland — Vepilu Chuzho, Lipoknukshi Jamir, and Lichumbeni Kikon,  evaluated the projects showcased by students and teachers.

Innovative Learning through Projects

Project-Based Learning (PBL) is an innovative, student-centred pedagogy that moves beyond rote memorisation, encouraging students to explore real-world challenges, collaborate with peers, and apply classroom knowledge in meaningful contexts.

The PBL program is designed to develop problem-solving, critical thinking, and 21st-century skills among students, preparing them to thrive in an evolving world. The initiative responds to a pressing educational challenge: as per ASER 2024, only 27.1% of Grade 5 children in Nagaland’s government schools can read a Grade 2-level text, and only 12.7% can perform division. According to NAS 2021, the state’s average performance stands at 53% in Language and 35% in Mathematics.

In Nagaland, the Department of School Education (DoSE) and Samagra Shiksha, in collaboration with Education Above All, NagaED, Mantra4Change, and ShikshaLokam, introduced PBL in 2025 as part of their continued effort to improve teaching-learning practices and student engagement. The pilot was rolled out in two districts – Dimapur and Kiphire, targeting Grades 4 and 5 in English and Mathematics.

To understand the existing learning landscape, a dipstick study was first conducted among 50 students from each Grade 4 and 5 in both districts, assessing competencies in English and Mathematics. The findings from this study guided the design of 16 curriculum-aligned projects —

• 4 projects each in Language and Mathematics for Grade 4, and
• 4 projects each in Language and Mathematics for Grade 5.

Each project was mapped directly to the Nagaland State Textbooks, ensuring contextual, experiential learning that teachers could easily integrate into their classrooms.

Teachers, school leaders, and block officials were oriented in July 2025, followed by the first phase of implementation in August. The pilot program is currently underway in Dimapur and Kiphire, reaching 3,000 students, 400 teachers, and 200 schools. The proposed scale-up plan envisions expanding to 11 districts, 1,500 schools, 2,500+ teachers, and 17,800+ students.

Santosh More, Co-Founder, Mantra4Change, said, “Our work in Nagaland reflects what’s possible when teachers, leaders, and partners come together around a shared vision for change. Through Project-Based Learning, we are not just introducing a new pedagogy; we’re enabling Education Leaders to lead transformation from within the system. The collective effort behind this initiative shows how sustained collaboration can strengthen public education at every level.”

Partnerships Driving Systemic Change

The PBL initiative is part of a broader transformation journey led by the Department of School Education (DoSE) and Samagra Shiksha, with Education Above All Foundation serving as the funding and knowledge partner, and Mantra4Change/ShikshaLokam as the implementation partner.

Together, these partners are building state-wide capacity for experiential learning,  empowering teachers, strengthening academic mentoring systems, and creating a culture of continuous improvement and collaboration within schools.

This PBL initiative is one of many micro-improvements implemented under Shikshagraha, a people-powered movement to improve all public schools in the country,  through collective action and local leadership. Shikshagraha aims to bring together all the stakeholders from Samaaj, Sarkaar, Bazaar and Sanchaar to drive change on the ground and reimagine what India’s public schools can and must deliver.

Towards a Future-Ready Education System

Aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and NIPUN Bharat, Nagaland aims to ensure that every child achieves foundational literacy and numeracy (FLN) by 2027, while also developing critical 21st-century skills – creativity, communication, collaboration, and critical thinking.

The PBL Fair reaffirms Nagaland’s commitment to “strengthening project-based learning and micro-improvement across the state,” setting the stage for the next phase of educational reform – where learning is joyful, contextual, and deeply meaningful.

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

Founded by Kaushik Bandiwadekar — a business innovator, author, and corporate coach — Trivokan aims to transform how professionals approach leadership, conflict resolution, and personal mastery. Drawing inspiration from the Mahabharata and other timeless texts, Trivokan helps leaders navigate the complexities of modern work life with courage, clarity, and consciousness.

“At Trivokan, we believe leadership is not just about managing people — it’s about mastering oneself,” said Kaushik Bandiwadekar, Founder of Trivokan. “Our approach blends practical corporate strategy with deep philosophical grounding, empowering individuals to lead boldly, grow confidently, and harness their true power.”

Trivokan offers curated programs and coaching modules designed for professionals at every stage — from emerging managers to seasoned executives. The platform’s core focus areas include Leadership Mastery, Conflict Transformation, Emotional Resilience, and Conscious Decision-Making.

What sets Trivokan apart is its integration of Dharmic philosophy with data-driven leadership practices. Each program is structured to help participants not just perform better at work, but also find balance, purpose, and meaning in their professional journeys.

Kaushik Bandiwadekar, with over 16 years of experience in Telecommunications, Passive Network Infrastructure, and Retail Automation, has lived through the challenges that corporate leaders face daily. His acclaimed book, Kurukshetra Within: Leadership and Conflict Mastery through the Mahabharata, reflects the very essence of Trivokan’s philosophy — that every professional’s greatest battlefield is within.

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

As organisations increasingly seek leaders who balance results with resilience, Trivokan emerges as a transformative bridge between ancient truth and modern ambition — a movement towards leadership that is as compassionate as it is courageous.

Shravasti (Uttar Pradesh) [India], October 30: A quiet but powerful change is taking place in Shravasti’s classrooms. What began as a challenging start to a new education initiative has now turned into a story of trust, teamwork, and measurable impact. Language and Learning Foundation (LLF), in partnership with Tata Trusts, launched a three-year project in 2022 to improve foundational learning in the district’s primary schools. The program focuses on strengthening teaching in FLN classrooms, mentoring support, and local academic leadership.

At first, many teachers and officials were sceptical. Years of multiple schemes and programs had left them disillusioned. Attendance at early workshops was low, and participation was minimal. But instead of pushing harder, LLF’s field team took a step back, choosing to build relationships first.

Six Block Academic Coordinators (BACs) began working closely with Academic Resource Persons (ARPs) and teachers, visiting schools, conducting district meetings, and making classroom observations together. Over time, this approach transformed the atmosphere from one of resistance to one of collaboration.

A District Academic Group was formed along with the LLF district team, comprising DIET faculty, SRGs, and ARPs to plan training and conduct joint follow-ups. Teachers began to engage more deeply, ARPs adopted mentoring roles, and cluster meetings became spaces for academic exchange.

By 2025, visible improvements followed. A third-party assessment showed over 20% improvement in foundational literacy among Grade 3 students. The district administration has since requested that the initiative be expanded to all blocks.

Reflecting on this journey, Shveta Lall, Associate Director of Continuous Professional Development, Language and Learning Foundation, said, “We often measure education interventions in outcomes: improved scores, better attendance, and more effective training. But Shravasti reminded us that these outcomes rest on something deeper: trust, empathy, and shared ownership.

No strategy, however well-designed, succeeds without relationships to carry it forward. Building those relationships is not separate from the work; it is the work. The hall that once shut us out is now open. The keys are held by the very people who once resisted us. That, more than any indicator, is the true sign of change.’’

About Language and Learning Foundation

Language and Learning Foundation (LLF) is a system-focused and impact-driven organisation working at scale towards improving the Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) outcomes of children in government primary schools in India.

Foundational skills such as reading with comprehension, writing independently, and doing simple subtraction are gateway skills that must be acquired and mastered for all future learning in schools. The World Bank has estimated that more than half of the children in India at a late primary age cannot read and understand grade-appropriate short sentences, also defined as learning poverty.

Similar findings have been reported by the National Achievement Survey (NAS) and the Annual Status of Education Report (ASER). At LLF, we believe that large-scale transformation in the teaching and learning process is required to address this crisis. With the focus on learning at the bottom of the pyramid, LLF works in educationally marginalized areas where children come from families with low literacy levels, deprived social groups, and where home languages are different from school languages.

A high-impact 12-month programme for mid- to senior-level professionals strengthens cross-functional judgement, financial fluency and digital-first leadership for a global business context. 

Nagpur (Maharashtra) [India], November 7: The Indian Institute of Management Nagpur (IIM Nagpur), in collaboration with TimesPro, has opened admissions to the latest cohort of its Senior Management Programme (SMP). Delivered live online, the 12-month programme equips experienced professionals with the strategic insights, financial rigour, and digital leadership required to steer organisations through volatility, disruption, and growth. 

Purpose-built for leaders with 10 or more years of experience, the SMP combines classroom-quality instruction with practitioner insights and applied learning. The curriculum spans three integrated modules – leadership & navigating contemporary business environments; advancing financial acumen and global strategy; and leading at the intersection of people, profit and sustainability. Cohorts typically comprise senior managers and functional heads across technology, financial services, manufacturing, consumer and services sectors, fostering rich peer learning and industry exchange. 

The leadership imperative has never been sharper. Employers expect 39% of workers’ core skills to change by 2030, while 63% identify skills gaps as the biggest barrier to transformation—prompting 85% to prioritise workforce upskilling over the 2025–2030 period. LinkedIn research notes, 49 per cent of L&D and talent professionals report a skills crisis within their organisations, 91 per cent confirm that human skills (such as strategic thinking, communication and inclusive leadership) are rising in importance, and 68 per cent of employees state that learning helps them adapt during change. In India’s growth context, CEOs remain bullish, talent-focused and are optimistic about domestic growth, intensifying demand for leaders who can convert strategy into results while scaling teams responsibly.  

Commenting on the announcement of the ninth batch, Dr Bhimaraya Metri, Director, IIM Nagpur, said, “Senior leadership today is the art of clarity under pressure—seeing around corners, allocating capital with conviction and mobilising diverse teams to execute at pace. With the Senior Management Programme, we combine rigorous scholarship with real-world application, enabling learners to read markets, master finance, and lead transformation with purpose. Our goal is simple: to graduate leaders who create durable value for their organisations and society. At IIM Nagpur, our vision is to enable professionals to move from managing functions to leading transformation. The Senior Management Programme (SMP) is designed to strengthen strategic and financial acumen, build digital leadership capabilities, and deepen self-awareness — qualities essential for leaders navigating today’s dynamic business environment.” 

Dr Alok Kumar Singh, Dean, Executive Education, said, “With the launch of the ninth batch, we continue our commitment to delivering executive education that bridges theory and practice, empowering experienced managers to convert challenges into opportunities. Each SMP cohort brings together exceptional professionals from diverse industries, creating a vibrant learning ecosystem that fosters collaboration, innovation and lifelong learning. We believe that executive education is not merely about upskilling — it’s about shaping leaders who can think systemically, act responsibly and contribute meaningfully to their organisations and to society.” 

Sridhar Nagarajachar, Business Head, TimesPro, said, “Enterprises want leaders who can translate strategy into outcomes—commercially, operationally and digitally. The SMP delivers that edge: evidence-based frameworks, live casework, executive coaching and peer learning that sharpen judgement. Learners leave with a practical playbook to lead change, scale talent and improve P&L performance in a world that rewards speed and stewardship in equal measure.” 

The programme delivers live, interactive classes led by IIM Nagpur faculty and industry practitioners, integrates strategy, finance, digital and sustainability into a cohesive cross-functional curriculum, emphasises applied projects, assignments, written tests and case-based learning embedded in each participant’s business context and cultivates a robust peer network that spans sectors, functions and leadership roles. The faculty also provides weekly Chamber Consulting for learners and an immersion session for participants who can interact with the faculty and their industry peers during their visit. Successful learners also get the prestigious IIM Nagpur alumni status.

Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], November 8: The Indian Institute of Management Lucknow, in collaboration with TimesPro, a leading higher-edtech platform, has opened admissions to the 10th batch of its Chief Strategy Officers Programme. Purpose-built for senior professionals, the programme equips leaders to elevate strategy, steer business units and drive transformation and multi-region growth in a rapidly evolving global landscape.

The 10-month Chief Strategy Officers Programme is designed to sharpen strategic thinking and execution, spanning digital transformation and ESG integration to innovation and AI-powered decision-making. It develops the capabilities required to navigate complex enterprise risks and to build resilient, future-ready responses. Aspiring CSOs, COOs and CEOs—along with senior managers and vice-presidents leading change mandates—will learn to design agile business models, accelerate digital transformation, and build strategic influence across stakeholders, boards and leadership teams.

As organisations contend with uncertainty and disruption, they require leaders who bring analytical rigour, financial fluency and a scientific orientation to enterprise-wide strategy. Deloitte has observed a growing premium on quantitative and financial skills as economic and market volatility increases the importance of modelling within the strategy function. Meanwhile, research by Bridges Consultancy notes that over 48% of CEOs devote less than one day per month to strategy development—an execution gap, the CSO role is expressly designed to close.

Aimed at professionals with over ten years of full-time experience, the programme integrates three core modules—Sensing Opportunity, Crafting Competitive Advantage, and Execution & Realising Competitive Advantage—covering Strategic Decisions, Emerging Disruptions, Corporate, Business and International Strategy, Mergers & Acquisitions, Corporate Entrepreneurship, Corporate and Strategic Communication, Change and Transformation, and Design Thinking, among other critical areas.

Speaking on the announcement of the 10^th batch, Prof. Sabyasachi Sinha, Professor Strategic Management, IIM Lucknow said, “At IIM Lucknow, we designed the Chief Strategy Officers Programme to help seasoned leaders translate insight into enterprise impact. Through rigorous modules on sensing opportunity, crafting advantage and disciplined execution, participants build fluency in digital, AI, ESG and risk. The outcome is confident, boardroom-ready strategists capable of shaping resilient growth in uncertain markets, with practical tools, cases and peer learning.”

Sridhar Nagarajachar, Business Head, TimesPro said, “TimesPro is delighted to collaborate with IIM Lucknow to deliver an executive programme that fits real leaders’ schedules and ambitions. Live, faculty-led sessions, a focused campus immersion and a capstone convert strategic frameworks into action. Learners gain immediately usable skills, alumni credentials and the confidence to influence boards, stakeholders and cross-functional teams across complex enterprises, supported by robust technology and expert facilitation.”

The programme has consistently attracted participation from BFSI, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, FMCG, IT, and other sectors, with cohorts comprising C-suite executives, vice-presidents, directors and senior managers.

Learning is delivered via IIM Lucknow’s esteemed faculty through TimesPro’s Direct-to-Device platform, featuring live lectures, case studies, quizzes, projects, simulations and assignments. A three-day campus immersion at IIM Lucknow deepens peer learning and reflection.

New Delhi [India], November 11: IMS Ghaziabad (University Courses Campus), a leading institution known for its academic excellence and innovative approach to education, successfully conducted a Faculty Development Programme (FDP) on the theme “Teaching Creatively” at Indirapuram Public School, Pratap Vihar. The session aimed at enhancing pedagogical innovation and classroom effectiveness by integrating creative strategies into teaching and learning processes.

The FDP brought together educators and faculty members to explore new-age instructional methodologies, interactive teaching tools, and learner-centric approaches that can make classroom experiences more engaging, experiential, and impactful.

Empowering Educators through Creativity and Innovation

Faculty participants engaged in hands-on activities, brainstorming sessions, and experiential learning modules designed to foster curiosity, collaboration, and critical thinking among learners.

Through a series of interactive discussions, the FDP emphasised the importance of shifting from conventional lecture-based teaching to participatory and experiential learning models, where students take an active role in constructing knowledge. Educators were introduced to techniques involving storytelling, case-based learning, gamification, problem-solving, and visual pedagogy, enabling them to make complex concepts accessible and enjoyable.

Speaking at the event, the resource experts highlighted how creativity in teaching goes beyond artistic expression; it is about designing meaningful, flexible, and inclusive learning experiences that cater to diverse learning styles and encourage students to think independently.

Governor Haribhau Bagade inspires students to embrace holistic, value-based education and transform failures into success.

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], November 11: “Students are the backbone of a self-reliant and developed India. Education should not remain confined to textbooks — it must nurture holistic development, sensitivity toward society, and a positive outlook while ensuring mental and physical well-being,” said Hon’ble Governor of Rajasthan, Shri Haribhau Bagade, while addressing the 8th Convocation Ceremony of MIT Art, Design and Technology (MIT-ADT) University, Pune, held with great enthusiasm at the Vishwarajbaug campus.

Governor Bagade emphasised that the ultimate goal of education is not merely earning a degree but applying knowledge for the betterment of society and dedicating oneself to national progress. “Failure is never final — it marks the beginning of a new journey. Transform every failure into a step toward success and contribute to making India a global superpower through your knowledge, competence, and compassion,” he urged the graduating students.

The convocation was graced by eminent personalities, including Prof. (Dr.) Laxmidhar Behera, Director, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi; Prof. (Dr.) Mangesh T. Karad, Executive President and Vice-Chancellor, MIT-ADT University; Shri Ramanan Ramanathan, Chairperson, National Expert Advisory Council for Technology, Innovation, Incubation and Entrepreneurship, Government of India; ‘Glass Man of India’ Shri Subhash Tyagi, Chairman, Gold Plus Glass Industries; Smt.

With its inclusion in the EdelGive–Hurun India Philanthropy List 2025, M3M Foundation stands as a powerful example of outcome-driven giving rooted in purpose and impact. Under the leadership of Dr. Payal Kanodia, alongside Shri Basant Bansal and Shri Roop Bansal, the Foundation is poised to deepen its interventions and widen its footprint across India.

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], November 13:  The Indian Institute of Management Calcutta, in collaboration with TimesPro, has opened admissions to the fifth cohort of the Executive Programme in Healthcare Management (EPHM). With India’s healthcare spend projected to rise from 3.3% to 5% of GDP by 2030 and investment accelerating across the ecosystem, demand for qualified healthcare management professionals continues to grow at a pace.

The 12-month, LIVE online EPHM equips learners with contemporary managerial capabilities tailored to healthcare. The curriculum builds robust competencies across leadership, organisational design, strategy, marketing, organisational communication, operations, economics, human resources, finance, accounting and information systems—enabling professionals to apply evidence-based management to complex clinical and non-clinical settings. The programme welcomes learners from hospitals, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, diagnostics, allied services, health insurance, public health bodies, and consulting, and prepares them to advance as future managers, business heads, analysts, entrepreneurs, and sector leaders.

Two five-day campus immersions during the journey strengthen peer learning and faculty engagement. The design revolves around three core axes—Healthcare Context, Sector-Specific and Functional Modules—to deepen understanding of regulatory and ethical frameworks, public policy, comparative health systems, hospital operations, data and digital health, health economics, entrepreneurship and technology as a strategic enabler. Learners translate their learning into practice through cases, projects, and a capstone, with immediate application in the workplace.

Industry analyses signal robust tailwinds: Rubix Industry Insights (September 2025) estimates that the healthcare market will surpass USD 1.5 trillion by 2030, growing at a roughly 19% CAGR. Meanwhile, IBEF notes the sector will require over 6.3 million additional healthcare jobs by 2030, underscoring the need for leaders who can scale quality, safety, access and efficiency across the continuum of care.

Speaking on the announcement, Ravindran Rajesh Babu, Professor and Dean (Executive Education), IIM Calcutta, said, “At IIM Calcutta, EPHM integrates managerial rigour with the realities of care delivery. Learners examine policy, finance, operations and digital health, then convert insight into measurable gains in safety, access and patient experience. Through immersive pedagogy and peer learning, we equip clinicians and administrators to lead resilient, data-driven organisations and steward sustainable performance across India’s evolving healthcare ecosystem with conviction.”

Sridhar Nagarajachar, Business Head, TimesPro, said, “We emphasise applied analytics, quality improvement and service redesign so learners create tangible value from week one. Industry engagement, mentoring, and workplace projects sharpen judgement and accelerate leadership readiness. Our focus is tangible outcomes—better decisions, smoother patient pathways and scalable operations across hospitals, life sciences, insurance and public health.”

The pedagogy features highly interactive sessions, case studies, projects, and assignments led by acclaimed IIM Calcutta faculty and industry experts delivered via TimesPro’s Interactive Learning platform in a Direct-to-Device mode. On successful completion, learners receive a Certificate of Completion and IIM Calcutta Executive Education Alumni status, gaining access to a prestigious network and learning community.

Medical practitioners and administrators with MBBS/BDS/BAMS (or equivalent recognised by UGC/AICTE/MCI) with a minimum of three years’ healthcare experience are eligible. Candidates with biotechnology/biomedical backgrounds (bachelor’s degree or above) may also apply. Applicants from other disciplines require a minimum of five years’ experience in the healthcare sector. All candidates must have at least 50% aggregate marks in graduation/post-graduation.

The last date for applications: November 23, 2025

Democratizing Access to Career Success

The platform’s multilingual, modular design ensures that a student in rural India has access to the same world-class tools, guidance, and visibility as peers in metropolitan centers globally.

“We’re creating equal opportunity, not just equal access,” Roy emphasized. “Every learner deserves the right guidance, assessment tools, and opportunities to succeed. Talentorial makes this a reality by combining the scale of AI with the irreplaceable value of human mentorship.”

Technology Meets Human Touch

What distinguishes Talentorial from conventional career platforms is its seamless integration of AI-driven assessments with human mentorship. While artificial intelligence provides instant feedback, personalized learning paths, and data-driven insights, experienced professionals offer context, encouragement, and real-world wisdom—creating a powerful synergy that neither technology nor mentorship alone can achieve.

The platform’s AI engine continuously learns from millions of data points across assessments, mentor interactions, and employer feedback, enabling increasingly precise skill-gap identification and career pathway recommendations.

Early Traction and Market Response

Since opening to select users, Talentorial has received overwhelming response from aspirants, mentors, universities, and employers across multiple regions. The platform is currently operational in India and the GCC, with strong early adoption indicating significant market demand for integrated career enablement solutions.

Vision for Global Impact

“This is just the beginning,” Roy concluded. “Our vision is to make Talentorial the global benchmark for career enablement—a platform where talent meets opportunity, where experience meets ambition, and where everyone, regardless of background, can build a meaningful career.”

New Delhi [India], November 18: As the global higher‑education landscape continues to evolve, Jamboree Education shares five emerging destinations for Indian students: Germany, Dubai (UAE), Ireland, Japan, and the Netherlands. These countries are increasingly being chosen as alternatives or complements to traditional destinations such as the US, UK, Canada and Australia; thanks to more welcoming immigration and visa regimes, affordability, promising career prospects, and strong institutional offerings.

Why these destinations are gaining traction

Against the backdrop of “traditional” international destinations like the US, UK, Canada, and Australia presenting a number of challenges, countries that offer high‑quality education, affordability, favourable visa/work‑back options and strong job opportunities are coming to the fore.

The total number of Indian students studying abroad has crossed the 1.8 million mark in 2025, up from about 1.3 million in 2023.

Within this broad trend, the five destinations we highlight are emerging as particularly compelling. Here’s an overview:

1. Germany

Current snapshot:

• For the winter semester 2023‑24, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) reported 49,483 Indian students enrolled in German universities – a 15.1% year‑on‑year rise.
• More recent statements suggest the figure has touched nearly 60,000 Indian students (a ~20% rise) in 2025.

Why Germany stands out:

• Indian students now form the largest group of international students in Germany, overtaking China.
• Low or zero tuition in many public institutions, strong STEM/engineering programmes.
• Clear post‐study stay/work routes make for a greater influx of international talent.
• Students are attracted by the affordability + quality combination at a time when many traditional destinations are becoming more expensive or restrictive.

What Indian students should keep in mind:

• Though tuition is low, living costs (approx. INR 10L/year) and proof‑of‑funds (e.g., blocked account) still need to be budgeted for.
• Many programmes are English‑taught, but knowledge of German improves internship/job prospects.
• Early planning is critical for housing, as competition in major cities is increasing.

Ideal for: Students looking for engineering/technology Master’s programmes, good work options, and a strong European education.

2. Dubai (UAE)

Current snapshot:

• According to the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), Indian students make up approximately 42–43% of the international student population in Dubai’s private higher education institutions for the academic year 2024‑25.
• Total student enrolment in Dubai private higher‑education reached ~42,000 across 41 institutions, up 20.4% year‑on‑year.

Why Dubai is emerging fast:

• Proximity to India (New Delhi is just a 3.5-hour flight away from Dubai!), cultural familiarity, time‑zone advantages and campuses of globally‑ranked universities make it appealing.
• Indian students are choosing business/management, IT & engineering programmes in Dubai – aligned with changing job markets.
• The UAE is actively positioning itself as a global education hub.
• The UAE’s tax-free regime automatically improves RoI (Return on Investment).

What Indian students should keep in mind:

• Limited options for students seeking admission into a global top 100 university.
• Post‑study work/immigration pathways exist but may differ from Western models – so check specifics of the institution and visa rules.
• Think through housing, cost‑of‑living, and RoI before committing.

Ideal for: Students seeking international‐brand campuses, business/tech programmes, and a study‑abroad experience closer to India.

3. Ireland

Current snapshot:

• According to reports, Indian student numbers in Ireland have grown significantly: from ~800 in 2013 to over 7000 in 2024.
• Ireland remains one of the fastest‑growing European destinations for Indian students.

Why Ireland is appealing:

• English‑speaking European country with many globally‑oriented tech companies headquartered there (Google, Apple, etc).
• Ireland is considered the Silicon Valley of Europe, making it a great option for students seeking a world-class tech degree.
• Relatively affordable compared to UK/US options; good work prospects for graduates.

What Indian students should keep in mind:

• Living costs (especially in Dublin) can escalate rapidly – early budgeting is important.
• While most courses are in English, integrating into local internship/job ecosystems helps.
• Popular programmes fill up fast – applying early pays.

Ideal for: Students wanting an English‑language European degree, tech/business focus, and a gateway into the EU job market.

4. Japan

Current snapshot:

• Recent figures indicate a growing interest in Japan as one of the emerging destinations among international students, including those from India.

Why Japan is gaining traction:

• Japan is actively seeking international students to offset its demographic challenges (ageing population); this means new scholarship and work incentives.
• Strong in technology/engineering, robotics, product design – fields attractive to Indian STEM aspirants.
• Unique exposure: Asian market, strong companies, language and cultural USP.
• Highly cost-effective – approx. 20% of the cost of attending a top university in the US or the UK.
• Safe, accommodating, and technologically-advanced society.

What Indian students should keep in mind:

• Japanese-language proficiency plays a key role in employment prospects, and most organisations require a JLPT N3 proficiency. Language learning aptitude helps!
• Cultural adjustment, visa/work pathways differ from Western norms – good to use university support early.
• Application processes for Japanese universities are very different from those of other global universities, and tend to be more cumbersome. Start early and make sure you meet all requirements thoroughly.

Ideal for: Tech/engineering students seeking an early mover’s advantage of an education experience in a fast-growing Asian economy that is actively seeking international students.

5. The Netherlands

Current snapshot:

• The Netherlands is among European countries with a rapidly growing Indian-student presence.

Why the Netherlands stands out:

• Transparent fees, clear post‑study “Orientation Year” visas for graduates from Dutch institutions.
• High internationalisation culture, strong industry links, and good student‑life standards.
• One of the few European nations where English is a primary language, similar to the UK and Ireland.
• Post-Brexit, most global companies set up their European headquarters at Amsterdam, making it the fastest growing business hub in the continent.

What Indian students should keep in mind:

• Housing in major Dutch cities like Amsterdam and Rotterdam can be tight – a plan for accommodation is vital.
• Fees are moderate (for Europe) but living costs can add up.

Ideal for: Students seeking a quality European education in English, with strong career orientation and international campuses for both business and tech.

How Jamboree Education Supports Students

Jamboree Education provides comprehensive counselling for Indian students exploring these destinations, with:

• Destination‑specific webinars, country‑wise guidance.

• Application assistance: SOPs, LORs, exam guidance, documentation.
• Visa & immigration support, pre‑departure briefing: accommodation, cost‑of‑living, cultural adjustment.
• Career alliances: internships/part‑time job pathways, network connections in destination markets.

Final Thoughts

• What you want to study
• What you can afford
• What language you are comfortable with
• What career path you aim for
• How ready you are to immerse yourself in a new culture

PNN Education

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], November 25: eMediSkill is an online learning platform created for medical students, doctors and healthcare professionals who want serious academic depth and structured skill growth in one place.

The platform’s mission is simple: to be a one stop solution for medical academic studies and skill development for doctors, healthcare professionals and paramedical staff. It is built to support what happens in college, hospitals and clinics, not to replace hands-on clinical work.

eMediSkill currently offers two main tracks.

Online certificate and diploma courses for doctors

Skill development programs that help doctors strengthen specific areas of practice. These courses are delivered fully online so that doctors can study around duty, OPD and on-call schedules, then apply those skills in their real-world clinical settings.

MBBS-level subjects for exam preparation and revision

Essential medical subjects are covered in depth at the MBBS level, including:

Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, Pathology, Medicine and more.

These subjects were originally created for MBBS exam preparation, with structured, exam-focused coverage. Because of growing demand from BAMS, BHMS, BUMS and other backgrounds, this content is now open to anyone, but it continues to be taught and organised at the MBBS level and mainly serves exam preparation and serious revision for students and doctors.

The platform is 100 percent online, making the same academic and skill content accessible to learners regardless of city or college, while expecting practical skills to be honed in real clinical environments.

Medical learners today are surrounded by notifications, short clips and endless scrolling. In that noise, even motivated students struggle to follow a clear study path.

“Our focus is not to add more noise to a student’s day,” said Ms. Vaishnvi Gaikwad, Administrative Strategist, eMediSkill. “We want to remove distractions from their learning life, give them a straight line from topic to understanding and let them use their energy on studying, not on hunting for what to study next.”

Details of current certificate and diploma offerings, along with the list of MBBS-level exam preparation subjects, are available at: https://emediskill.com/

About eMediSkill

eMediSkill Institute of Science & Technology Pvt. Ltd. is an online platform dedicated to medical and healthcare education.

Each specialization comprises over 400 hours of domain-specific content, significantly surpassing the depth offered in traditional MBA specializations. Students will complete the first-year core curriculum at XLRI, followed by foundational second-year courses before moving to the partner university for their specialization coursework starting in the Fall semester.

Most tracks offered by XLRI’s U.S. partners are STEM-designated, enabling students to apply for OPT (Optional Practical Training) periods as per prevailing U.S. regulations. Students pursuing specializations at French partner institutions are eligible for a 12-month renewable residence/work permit under Indo-French mobility agreements.

Students selected for the program will have access to the full range of academic, career development at XLRI and at the respective partner universities, including career fairs and industry interactions. The credit-transfer structure and scholarship provisions offered by partner universities ensure that students can obtain two globally recognized degrees at significantly reduced overall costs.

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], November 28: Across Indian cities and small towns, parents are paying closer attention to how children feel, not only to how they score in exams. Child development specialists say emotional wellbeing shapes memory, motivation and behaviour, and is tightly linked to long term academic achievement. In classrooms that follow the Central Board of Secondary Education curriculum, this link is drawing interest from school leaders who want to balance marks with mental health. In Ahmedabad, parents searching for a CBSE school or English medium school are increasingly asking how a campus supports feelings of safety, belonging and confidence in every child.

Emotional wellbeing in childhood refers to the way children understand and manage their feelings, build relationships and cope with setbacks. When this foundation is strong in the early years, children are more likely to explore, ask questions and stay engaged in learning. When it is weak, even bright students may withdraw, lose interest in class or show aggression and anxiety.

Home as the first school for emotional skills 

The home environment is often the first school for emotional skills. Warm, predictable routines, shared meals and unhurried conversations help children name their feelings and trust that adults will listen. Experts point out that harsh comparison with siblings or classmates, constant reference to marks and overuse of screens can increase stress levels in young minds.

How CBSE schools support emotional wellbeing in Ahmedabad 

Schools play a crucial role in balancing this picture. A best CBSE school in Ahmedabad, or anywhere else, is increasingly understood as one that focuses on social and emotional growth along with exam results. They aim to create classrooms where students feel respected, can speak up without fear and see diversity as a normal part of life.

Teaching practices make a visible difference. Child friendly, activity-based lessons allow pupils to move, experiment and collaborate, instead of only copying from the board. When a CBSE school with project-based learning in Ahmedabad links maths or science to real world problems, children not only remember concepts more clearly but also feel a sense of purpose and agency. Group work, school clubs and community projects give quieter students room to contribute in smaller circles and build confidence step by step.

Infrastructure also matters. Well lit, clean classrooms, safe play areas and age-appropriate sports facilities give children space to release energy and form healthy friendships. Best CBSE primary school environments in Ahmedabad tend to emphasise art, music and drama along with core subjects, which can act as outlets for feelings children cannot yet put into words. Access to a trained counsellor or wellbeing coordinator allows early support when a child shows signs of distress, bullying or sudden change in behaviour.

Admission choices, transport and daily routine 

Family choices during school admission are slowly reflecting these priorities. When parents enquire about CBSE school admission for 2025 to 2026 in Ahmedabad, questions about class strength, counselling services and peer support systems are becoming as common as questions about toppers and board results. Some families also ask for a clear outline of the admission process for CBSE schools in Ahmedabad so they can judge how fairly interviews, interactions and assessments treat young applicants.

Transport and time management are another part of emotional health. In a large city, a CBSE school with transport facility can reduce daily fatigue and make punctuality easier for children whose parents work long hours. Yet long travel times can also tire students if routes are not planned carefully.

Rising interest in holistic learning across Gujarat 

Across Gujarat, interest in holistic learning schools is growing. Parents who once searched only for top rated CBSE schools near me now often explore whether teachers receive training in emotional first aid, inclusive education and classroom management. They pay attention to how schools respond to bullying, how discipline is explained and whether student voice is heard in councils or suggestion forums. This shift suggests that families are starting to view wellbeing as a shared responsibility rather than a private issue to be handled at home. This trend can be seen across income groups.

Shared responsibility for child development and emotional health 

Experts in child development recommend small, steady steps to support emotional health. At home, caregivers can set aside device free time each day, listen without rushing to fix problems and praise effort rather than only outcomes. In school, teachers can use simple check ins, reflective journals and peer support circles to notice when a child is struggling. Clear communication between parents, teachers and counsellors helps ensure that early warning signs are not missed and that support plans are realistic.

As awareness rises, the idea of a successful CBSE curriculum is widening. Good grades remain important for future education and careers, yet they are now being placed alongside kindness, adaptability and inner strength. For many families in Ahmedabad and across Gujarat, the hope is that a strong partnership between home and school will give children both the skills and the emotional grounding they need to face an uncertain future with balance and courage.

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], November 29: Abhyaas Edu Technologies successfully concluded Abhyaas Lex Quest 2025, India’s biggest school-level law talent hunt, marking a remarkable milestone in legal and civic education for young learners across Hyderabad. Held at the Telangana Corporators’ Cultural Club (TCCC), the Grand Finale witnessed an extraordinary gathering of budding legal aspirants, school leaders, academicians, alumni, influencers, and distinguished personalities from the legal, academic, and creative communities. 

This year’s Lex Quest witnessed a record-breaking response, with 75 leading schools participating in the city-wide movement. Over 4000 students appeared in the Preliminary Round conducted across various campuses. From this competitive pool, 25 top-performing schools qualified for the Grand Finale, where they engaged in two intellectually rigorous rounds—the Subjective Theory Round and the prestigious Grand Moot Court Competition. The event brought to life the experience of legal problem-solving, structured reasoning, and courtroom argumentation, offering students a rare and immersive exposure to the world of law. 

Event Graced by Eminent Guests 

The Prize Distribution Ceremony was enriched by the presence of eminent guests, including: 

• Hon’ble Justice S. Ravi Kumar Garu – Chief Guest 
• Dr. P. Ravi Sekhara Raju, Director, ICFAI Law School – Guest of Honour 
• Renowned Film Director Parasuram Garu – Special Guest 

Their presence and interactions not only elevated the event’s stature but also inspired the young participants to approach law with seriousness and purpose. 

Guest of Honour and Special Guest Impressions 

Dr. P. Ravi Sekhara Raju, addressing the gathering, praised the initiative for its academic impact and vision. “Abhyaas Lex Quest 2025 is not just a competition—it is a powerful learning ecosystem that exposes school students to the true spirit of legal education. I am deeply impressed by the analytical depth and maturity these young participants have demonstrated.” 

He further added: “Law is not merely a subject; it is a way of thinking, a way of shaping society. Through platforms like Lex Quest, students begin this journey much earlier, which will undoubtedly create more aware, responsible, and constitutionally grounded citizens.” 

Commending the organizers, he concluded: “The team at Abhyaas has created a rare blend of academic rigor, real-world exposure, and inspiration. Events like this will go a long way in bridging the gap between school education and professional legal aspirations.” 

The inspirational address by Director Parasuram Garu brought a unique perspective on the role of law in shaping society. “I am truly amazed by what Abhyaas Lex Quest 2025 has achieved today. The energy, the discipline, and the sharpness these young students have displayed is extraordinary. Events like this make law feel alive, relevant, and inspiring for the next generation.” 

Citing cinema’s influence on public consciousness, he said: “In our films, we often show how the law protects the vulnerable. Take the example of Jai Bhim. In that movie, a woman from a remote village—without an Aadhaar card, without influence, without any backing—manages to fight for her rights and get justice only because of the power of law. That is the strength of our legal system.” 

He added with optimism: “Watching these students argue, analyze, and present like young lawyers gives me immense hope. If this is the future of our legal fraternity, then our society is truly in safe hands. Initiatives like Lex Quest don’t just create awareness—they create purpose.” 

Chief Guest’s Reflections 

Hon’ble Justice S. Ravi Kumar Garu delivered a heartfelt address, expressing profound appreciation for the event: “It is a true honor to be here today for the Prize Distribution Ceremony of Abhyaas Lex Quest 2025. I must also take this moment to extend my sincere thanks to the Chairman of Abhyaas Edu Technologies, Naresh Reddy Dubbudu, for inviting me to this magnificent occasion. Honestly, this entire event has been nothing short of spectacular. This is truly one of the best events I have ever attended.” 

He added: “In my years, I’ve visited many school functions, but I can confidently say I’ve never witnessed a school event quite this smart, this well-organized, and this vibrant.” 

Reflecting on the deeper impact of such initiatives, he said: “By promoting excellence and critical thinking, Lex Quest encourages bright young minds to take up law as a career. I have no doubt that today’s vibrant display has persuaded many students to pursue law and dedicate their lives to justice and service.” 

Leadership Vision at Abhyaas 

Sharing the organization’s broader mission, Mr. Naresh Reddy Dubbudu, Chairman – Abhyaas Group of Institutions, stated: “Lex Quest 2025 has once again proven that when young learners are given the right platform, they rise with extraordinary clarity, confidence, and purpose. This initiative is not merely about identifying talent—it is about empowering the next generation to view law as a calling for justice and meaningful social transformation.”

Where ambition meets worldwide opportunity

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], November 29: When MILES Education set out to reimagine how India prepares for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) credential, it wasn’t simply launching another test-prep program—it was rewriting the country’s global accounting ambition. For decades, students and professionals dreamed of world-class careers but lacked a bridge that felt accessible, practical, and future-proof. Today, that bridge has a name, a blueprint, and a proven success story—and it begins with understanding what it truly means to become a certified public accountant through a learning ecosystem built for India, yet recognised across the world.

A New Chapter for Indian Talent

Not long ago, preparing for the US CPA felt like chasing a moving target—scattered guidance, limited access to mentors, and no long-term roadmap. MILES Education changed that narrative by building India’s largest mentorship-driven learning movement in global finance. With more than 70,000 alumni and presence across major cities, the institution transformed preparation into possibility, creating a path where Indian candidates could study, test, and even secure international roles without needing to leave the country first.

What began as a bold idea is now an industry-shaping reality: over 80% of all licensed professionals in India trace their journey back to MILES.

A Story of Real Aspirations, Real Results

Consider the thousands of commerce graduates who once believed that global credentials were out of reach. Many balanced day jobs, family expectations, and the uncertainty of starting something new. Yet, the moment they walked into a MILES classroom—virtual or physical—the narrative shifted. Learning no longer felt overwhelming. Strategy replaced guesswork. Confidence replaced hesitation.

Some completed all four exams in under 18 months. Others moved from mid-level accounting roles to Big 4 interviews. A few are now working in corporate finance teams across the United States, proving that India’s talent was never lacking—only the right platform was.

That platform is now shaping the country’s next wave of financial leaders.

Building a Skillset That Works in the Real World

What makes this journey different is that the goal is not only passing an exam. MILES designed a system that aligns learning with employability—simplifying concepts, strengthening analytical thinking, and making every lecture relevant from day one on the job.

Candidates don’t just prepare; they evolve:

• From memorising regulations to applying tax logic
• From reading audit theories to interpreting controls
• From studying reporting standards to managing financial conversations

A global credential becomes meaningful only when it translates into global readiness—and that is the foundation MILES insists upon.

Learning from Leaders Who’ve Been There

The catalyst behind this movement is a teaching philosophy that energises rather than intimidates. Learners experience masterclass-style sessions where every topic is broken down with clarity and purpose.

As Mr. Varun Jain, CEO of MILES Education, states:

“India doesn’t lack talent—it has been waiting for the right direction. When learners are guided with structure, mentorship, and belief, the leap from aspiration to achievement is no longer extraordinary—it becomes expected.”

This approach inspired thousands to choose MILES not merely as a prep provider, but as a lifelong professional ally.

Why India Trusts the Miles Advantage

The evolution of success rests on three pillars:

Unmatched Faculty Pedigree:
Learning from the world’s favourite mentor accelerates understanding, but learning from a global network amplifies it further. With access to industry practitioners, academic experts, and career advisors, every learner is surrounded by guidance—not left to navigate alone.

End-to-End Support Beyond the Exam:
From eligibility evaluation to state board selection, exam scheduling, ethics requirements, and license assistance, support continues until the very last milestone. Candidates don’t just pass—they complete the journey.

Career Pathways That Create Outcomes:
Placement assistance, corporate partnerships, and a rapidly expanding global alumni footprint ensure learners move forward with momentum—not uncertainty.

A Future That Expands With Every Step

Today, whether someone chooses to begin their US CPA course right after graduation or while advancing in their career, flexibility no longer feels like a privilege—it is built into the system. And for those who prefer structured digital learning, MILES has transformed preparation through its CPA online coaching model—designed for working professionals who need progress without compromise.

It is no surprise, then, that MILES is widely regarded as the leading CPA institute in India—a place where global credentials meet Indian determination, and where futures are shaped with intention rather than chance.

The Movement Is Already Underway

Across campuses, boardrooms, and homes, one shift is becoming clear: India is no longer asking whether global accounting careers are possible—it is deciding how quickly to begin.

And for those ready to step into that future, the gateway has never been more accessible.

Because this isn’t just about earning three letters after your name.

It’s about rising to a standard that the world recognises—and knowing that the world is ready to recognise you.

Turning Indian talent into world-ready accounting excellence

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], November 29: There are moments in every industry when the rules quietly change—when what once felt distant suddenly becomes attainable. In Indian accounting education, that moment arrived when MILES Education reshaped how learners approach the Certified Public Accountant credential and what it means to build a career without borders.

For years, ambitious students believed that global qualifications required leaving the country, finding external support, or navigating the journey alone. Today, that belief is outdated. The new reality is powerful and proven: India now has a launchpad that takes determined learners from classrooms here to financial roles across the world. And that launchpad begins with understanding what it truly means to pursue the CPA credential through guidance that is built for India, yet recognised across global markets.

A Shift in Mindset, A Shift in Outcomes

The modern learner is no longer satisfied with traditional preparation. They want clarity, relevance, mentorship, and a roadmap that actually converts effort into visible, life-changing results. MILES Education sensed that shift early—and built an ecosystem that doesn’t just coach; it prepares, supports, elevates, and stays with the learner long after the exam is over.

Instead of asking learners to fit into an old framework, MILES created a new one:

• Where global accounting doesn’t feel intimidating
• Where complex concepts are broken into practical understanding
• Where guidance is not generic, but personalised
• Where the journey is structured—not overwhelming

The outcome speaks louder than any claim: thousands of Indian professionals now hold roles in multinational companies, Big 4 firms, and U.S. financial teams—many of them beginning as everyday students who simply received the right direction.

The Power of Preparing With Purpose

While the title US CPA is globally respected, what truly transforms a career is the journey leading up to it. Learners discover far more than exam content—they learn how financial decisions work, how systems are controlled, and how governance influences growth.

The value is not only in certification but in capability:

• Stronger analytical reasoning
• Practical exposure to global accounting standards
• Confidence in managing financial reporting discussions
• Ability to understand taxation beyond theory

With a clearly structured timeline, candidates complete the program in 12–18 months, even while working full-time. Flexibility isn’t an added benefit—it is part of the design.

Why India Needed a New Kind of Support System

In the past, learners struggled not because they lacked potential, but because they lacked process. MILES simplified the journey from the very first step—US CPA admission—to the final licensing milestone.

The support includes:

• Eligibility evaluation and academic credit guidance
• State board selection and document assistance
• Clear planning for exam scheduling and timelines
• Application-to-license mentorship

No confusion. No fragmented information. No student left to figure things out alone.

Learning From Leadership, Not Just Instructors

At the center of this transformation is a teaching philosophy that connects knowledge with energy. Learners are not spoken at—they are engaged, challenged, and equipped.

As Mr. Varun Jain, CEO of Miles Education, shares:

“When we teach, our goal is not just to help someone clear an exam. Our goal is to build professionals who think globally, contribute meaningfully, and step into rooms with confidence—not hesitation.”

His approach has already shaped the journey of more than 70,000 students, many of whom now serve as global ambassadors of Indian accounting excellence.

A New Standard for Global Preparation

With access to 100+ global educators, industry mentors, and structured academic plans, learning becomes a guided progression rather than a guessing game. This is why MILES has become the preferred destination for CPA USA in india—not because of scale alone, but because it delivers outcomes that continue even after certification.

And for those who seek flexibility, MILES offers a seamless model through its CPA institute, allowing learners to progress without compromising on work, location, or commitments.

The Future Is No Longer Out of Reach

The question is no longer whether Indian professionals can enter global finance—but how soon they choose to begin. The demand is rising, the opportunities are expanding, and the world is actively seeking talent that is trained, certified, and future-ready.

For those who have been waiting for the right time, the right guidance, or the right confidence—this is the moment.

Because becoming a certified public accountant is not only about earning a credential.

It is about earning a career that the world recognises.

And with MILES Education, India is not preparing to catch up — India is preparing to lead.

Where ambition meets preparation, and preparation meets world-class outcomes

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], November 29: For decades, Indian finance professionals have dreamt of careers that extend beyond domestic boundaries—roles where their decisions shape global markets, where expertise speaks louder than geography, and where credibility travels across borders without restriction. That shift is no longer an aspiration. It is a measurable reality that began when Miles Education transformed how India prepares for the world’s most respected accounting credential.

Today, a new generation of learners is no longer asking, “Is global recognition possible?”
They are asking, “How soon can I get there?”

A New Definition of Professional Confidence

In a rapidly changing financial landscape, technical knowledge alone doesn’t set professionals apart—clarity, global relevance, and strategic capability do. Miles Education recognized this long before the transition began and reshaped preparation into a structured, outcome-oriented journey built to match international standards without compromising accessibility for Indian learners pursuing the US CPA.

The shift is evident everywhere:

• Indian professionals leading global audit teams
• Finance analysts managing cross-border reporting
• Young graduates securing international roles without relocating early
• Working professionals reskilling to stay future-proof

The result is not merely an increase in qualifications—it is an increase in capability, confidence, and global readiness.

The Pathway That Simplifies a Complex Journey

The process of becoming a CPA may be globally rigorous, but it does not need to be overwhelming. Candidates often struggle not because of difficulty, but due to fragmented guidance, unclear eligibility decisions, and a lack of structured direction.

Miles Education rebuilt the pathway with precision:

• Eligibility evaluation and credit-hour guidance
• State board selection based on long-term goals
• Step-by-step scheduling and planning support
• Licensing assistance beyond exam completion

Nothing is left to chance. Every phase is mapped with clarity so learners can move forward with certainty instead of second-guessing.

Learning That Matches Real-World Expectations

Technical mastery is only the starting point. The real differentiator lies in how well candidates can apply concepts in environments where accuracy connects directly to impact. With expert-led preparation, learning becomes practical, structured, and aligned with how global finance operates.

Candidates develop:

• A strong command of reporting and regulatory frameworks
• Skill in interpreting financial data for decision-making
• A deeper understanding of taxation and policy implications
• Confidence in communicating with diverse stakeholders

By the time learners sit for the exam, they are not only prepared—they are transformed.

Why the New-Age Indian Learner Chooses Miles

The shift toward global qualifications is not driven by trends—it is driven by opportunity. Organizations are expanding, compliance frameworks are evolving, and companies are actively seeking professionals trained to operate across standards, jurisdictions, and industries.

That is why learners look for more than instructional delivery. They expect:

• Mentorship over messaging
• Structure over self-navigation
• Clarity over complexity
• Support that continues beyond certification

Miles Education meets these expectations through an ecosystem that integrates academic excellence with real-career outcomes.

A Leadership Philosophy That Inspires Action

As Mr. Varun Jain, CEO of Miles Education, expresses:
“Exams are only one milestone. What truly matters is who you become through the process—how ready you are to contribute, solve problems, and lead with competence in any environment across the world.”

His approach has shaped thousands of successful journeys, proving that the right guidance doesn’t just prepare someone to pass; it prepares them to excel.

The Advantage India Didn’t Have Before—Now Built at Scale

With access to global educators, structured learning systems, and long-term mentoring, Miles has become the destination learners trust when choosing the best CPA coaching in India.

For those who require flexibility, preparation continues seamlessly through the CPA institute in India, enabling progress without relocation or disruption to work-life schedules. And for those who want a guided academic pathway, comprehensive support makes the transition smooth from the first inquiry to final licensing.

A Future Powered by Global Readiness

The world is shifting toward professionals who can think strategically, communicate confidently, and interpret financial systems beyond borders. Becoming a certified public accountant is not only about qualifying for roles—it is about rising into positions that influence business direction, financial governance, and organisational trust.

And for learners seeking structured preparation, the journey begins with the right foundation—expert-driven US CPA coaching, a clearly defined roadmap, and an institution that remains invested not just in passing results, but in long-term professional growth.

Because with Miles Education, Indian talent is not being prepared to participate in the future. It is preparing to shape it.

Vadodara (Gujarat) [India], November 29: Parul University brought together 30 nations in the 3rd Edition of PU’s International Folklore Festival in another step towards the University’s vision of international cultural understanding. Following the timeless mantra “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”, this year’s International Folklore Festival once again brought the world together on one stage in cultural collaboration and celebration as one global family.

This year, 600+ artists gathered from over 30 countries. Delegations from India, Lithuania, Poland, Nepal, South Korea, Slovakia, Greece, Russia, Cuba, Sri Lanka, Spain, Ecuador, Algeria, Malaysia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Karakalpakstan, Ethiopia, Lesotho, Madagascar, Tanzania, South Sudan, Zambia, Mozambique, Bhutan, Zimbabwe, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Uganda, and Ghana filled the campus with their own rhythm, colour, and heritage as each group brought their unique identity, composing a living mosaic of traditions, stories, and art forms from across continents.

The grand inauguration of the festival was held on November 25 at the Statue of Unity. Artists from all across the globe gathered to recite the Oath of Global Unity and Peace with the backdrop of the World’s Largest statue. The moment served as a tribute to Sardar Vallabhai Patel and represented the festival’s common purpose of togetherness, mutual respect, and a wish for a better world. Over the course of the five days, the Parul University campus evolved into a colourful cultural footprint. Folk songs, cultural rituals, and colourful dances presented uniquely represented by every nation left the audience mesmerized and in awe. The diverse cultures found common ground at the festival through the universal language of art.

Smt. Meenakshi Lekhi, Hon’ble Former Minister of State for External Affairs & Culture, Government of India, shared, “Marking Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s 150th birth anniversary with a global cultural celebration is truly meaningful. His legacy teaches us that when people stand together, their strength multiplies. Such festivals make us remember that art can break down barriers and reaffirm our sense of identity.” Speaking on the same, Dr Darshana Vasava, MLA, Nandod, Narmada, commented, “Every performance here is not only art, but also a piece of history, a voice of tradition, and a bridge between nations. Uniting the world at the same stage is not only a happening, but it is a culture we are proud to support.”

Commenting on this successful edition, Dr Devanshu Patel, President, Parul University, stated:  “This festival once again reminded us that when cultures come together, the world becomes just a little bit more connected, and just a little bit more compassionate. Each artist who performed here brought not just their talent, but also their heritage, their pride, and a sense of unity. We thank every nation present for making this celebration more meaningful.”

This year’s International Folklore Festival will be remembered for not only its performances but also for the warmth it created between nations, between communities, and between every individual who experienced it. Following the conclusion of its third edition on a high note, Parul University continues its commitment to promoting global cultural dialogue and celebrating diversity through the arts.

Satara (Maharashtra) [India], September 17: Heavy rain could not dampen the spirit of over 8,500 runners who turned up for the 14th edition of the JBG Satara Hill Half Marathon, powered by Mala’s Fruit Products, on Sunday morning. By the time the sun broke through the clouds, Satara had witnessed one of its most memorable race days yet.

Crowds lined the streets, volunteers braved the weather, and runners embraced the challenge of the hills. The event reaffirmed its reputation as one of India’s most iconic runs – scenic, tough, and deeply rooted in community spirit.

Charity Beyond the Finish Line

One of the biggest impacts came through the Charity initiative, which will now support 2,000 children from more than 8 schools in and around Satara. Sports gear ranging from footballs and basketballs to chess and carrom sets has been handed over, bringing structured play and physical activity into classrooms.

Expo Sets the Tone

The buzz began two days earlier with the JBG SHHM Fitness Expo, presented by the Punit Balan Group, which saw over 30,000 visitors and participation from 50+ brands. Inaugurated by Smt. Vedantikaraje Bhonsle (Vahini Saheb), wife of Maharashtra PWD Minister Shrimant Ch. Shivendrasinharaje Bhonsle, the Expo brought the running community together even before race day.

Going Live – A First for India

This year also marked a first: the race was streamed live by Fancode and Zee24Taas, making JBG SHHM the first stand-alone half-marathon in India to be covered by a digital live-streaming partner.

The event also set another milestone: it hosted the largest ever field of runners in a stand-alone hill half-marathon in India. Already a three-time Guinness World Record holder, SHHM once again proved why it is counted among the toughest and most scenic races in the world.

On the Podium

The competition was fierce at the front of the pack.

• Men’s Open Category: Ankush Laxman Hakke (01:10:08), Lovepreet Singh (01:11:06), and Dharmender D (01:12:03).

• Women’s Open Category: Sakshi Sanjay Jadyal (01:29:35), Rutuja Vijay Patil (01:30:52), and Sonali Dhondiram Desai (01:33:42).

More than 600 runners finished under 2 hours, taking home gold medals. All pacers successfully guided their groups despite the sticky humidity left behind by the downpour.

Voices from the Event

Founder & Chief Believer Dr. Sandeep Kate said, “This edition showed us the commitment of the community. The rains could not stop the energy, and the success of the charity initiative gives this event a deeper meaning.”

Satara Collector, Shri Santosh Patil noted, “Satara has built its identity as the Rajdhani of Marathon Running. The success of this year’s event further strengthens that position.”

Satara SP, Shri Tushar Doshi, who himself ran the half marathon, said, “This event has become a fitness movement. Running alongside thousands, including police officers from across Maharashtra, was an honour.”

Title Sponsor, Mr. Gaurav Jajodia, MD of Jai Balaji Group, shared, “To see 8,500 runners under the JBG banner is a matter of pride. Our partnership with SHHM reflects our belief in community engagement.”

Powered By Sponsor, Mr. Hussain Mala, Director at Mala’s Fruit Products, said, “Supporting JBG SHHM for the second year is a privilege. This event carries the same passion and freshness as our brand.”

Mr. Punit Balan, MD, Punit Balan Group & Manikchand Oxyrich added, “The Expo and VIP lounge added to the experience for runners and visitors. It was a pleasure to partner with SHHM once again.”

Race Director JBGSHHM 2025, Dr. Avinash Shinde, pointed out, “Our focus was on the runner’s experience. The new systems, practice runs, and on-ground arrangements ensured safety and support throughout. Along with safety and medical preparedness, we worked closely with our pacers. Their disciplined effort helped hundreds achieve their targets.”

President JBGSHHM 2025, Ar. Upendra Pandit said, “From registrations to execution, the 14th edition has been remarkable. It is the people of Satara and our volunteers who make this possible every year.”

Vice President JBGSHHM 2025, Prof. Vishal Dhane added, “The response from participants, partners, and the city shows the trust built over the years. We are proud of the scale this event has reached.”

Secretary JBGSHHM 2025, Mr. Shailesh Dhawalikar acknowledged, “The smooth execution is a credit to detailed planning and volunteer effort. The training programmes and long runs prepared runners well for the hills. The participants’ commitment to training was inspiring.”

Founder Member SRF & Medical Director SHHM, Dr. Prataprao Gole assured, “Our medical teams, ambulances and hospitals worked in sync to ensure no casualty and quick response whenever needed. Participant safety is always our top priority.”

The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sport, through the Department of Sports in India, remains an excellent role model in terms of administrative reforms in its involvement in Special Campaign 5.0. This is an all-encompassing, clean, and efficient program that is a big step towards the way the government departments are dealing with workspace optimisation and the delivery of services to the people.

Building on Special Campaign 4.0’s Success

Special Campaign 5.0 is based on the exceptional performance of the predecessor. On October 2, 2024, Special Campaign 4.0 was developed by the Department of Sports at Major Dhyanchand Stadium as the Fit India Swachhata Freedom Run 5.0. It was a symbolic, fun event that combined fitness promotion and cleanliness advocacy, and it formed an excellent image of national dedication to administration excellence.

There is a powerful precedent created by the quantifiable results of the last campaign. The officials in the department in collaboration with organizations such as Sports Authority of India (SAI), Lakshmibai National Institute of Physical Education (LNIPE), National Sports University (NSU), National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA), and National Dope Testing Laboratory (NDTL) were able to overcome vital administrative bottlenecks.

Quantifiable Administrative Achievements

The success of the campaign can be evaluated using tangible deliverables directly related to the quality of the services provided to people. The parliamentary officials adjudicated 15 pending Member of Parliament references, and this is indicative of responsiveness to legislative concerns. Moreover, 30 Public Grievances were fully resolved, and the level of citizen satisfaction increased accordingly.

The accountability of parliament was critical during the initiative. The Department had, as a direct measure of progress, two Assurances to Parliament, and high-ranking officials continued to closely monitor these measures. Such a practical method guarantees transparency and keeps the population trusting the government procedures.

Comprehensive Cleanliness Operations

The enhancement of physical infrastructure was one of the pillars of the campaign’s success. The cleanliness drives included 44 field offices and headquarters locations of all the affiliated organisations that had been strategically identified. This policy helped to cover all the facets of the transformation process, as no facility was left behind.

The success of the reclamation of space is especially commendable. The group had managed to reclaim 12,000 square feet of unused or disorganised space. These new spaces were repurposed strategically to useful utility spaces, increasing the efficiency of the operations of various departments.

Financial Sustainability Through Resource Management

The economic feasibility of the campaign was indicated by the collection of revenue based on responsible resource management. Scrap disposal operations also earned Rs. 1,76,000, and this shows that financial sustainability is attainable through cleanliness initiatives when aiming at environmental goals.

Such a strategy will fit into the principles of the circular economy well, with waste products turning into valuable resources. The department has gone beyond compliance and has laid down the best practices that other state actors can copy in terms of sustainability.

Digital Engagement and Public Awareness

The amplification through social media was important in the visibility of the campaign. The Department and the organisations associated with it posted 24 strategic tweets on different platforms, using such hashtags as SpecialCampaign4.0 and SwachhBharat to reach as many people as possible.

The online communication approaches helped spread information to the people as well as mobilise people to contribute to the cleanliness efforts. This multi-platform strategy is an indication of current governance practices that integrate the use of technology to achieve greater social effects.

E-Waste Management Compliance

Special Campaign 5.0 pays special attention to electronic waste management, with a strict adherence to E-Waste Management Rules, 2022. This emphasis is based on increasing environmental fears and creating sustainable technology disposal and replacement practices.

The scientific way of managing e-waste establishes new standards for governmental organisations throughout the country. Correct disposal policies safeguard the environment, besides securing the safety of data and adherence to the legal systems.

Future-Ready Administrative Excellence

According to one of the senior officials of the department, the Department of Sports is fully ready to implement Special Campaign 5.0 in the most effective way possible, which is to introduce the new standards in workplace cleanliness and achieve the goal defined by DARPG.

This is not only a short-term goal of the campaign, but it forms the framework of continuous improvement of administrative procedures over a long period of time. The combination of cleanliness, efficiency and sustainability is a holistic solution to contemporary governance.

The systematic approach of the Department makes the results quantifiable, but not too much emphasis is placed on the main goals. Top management monitoring ensures accountability on implementation stages, and the cooperative mechanism with related organisations can make full use of resources and influence.

The Special Campaign 5.0 does not only imply a cleanliness campaign but rather a shift in the spirit of administration where efficiency, transparency, and the excellence of the service provided to the people is the top priority. Other government bodies are taking some of the ripple effects of the work of the Department of Sports, as it stands out as a model that other organisations can emulate in the administrative world of India.

The campaign presents the ability of strategic initiatives to attain multiple goals at the same time through disciplined performance, concentrated goals, and regular observation and evaluation, as well as ensuring the highest levels of delivery of service to the population.

Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], September 22: Little Thevaky’s daring rappelling record shines a light on India’s natural climbing talent, as the nation eyes Olympic dreams for 2036.

On the morning of August 29, 2025, as India marked National Sports Day, a six-year-old girl stood at the edge of a 155-foot rock cliff in Malaipattu, Kancheepuram District, Tamil Nadu. With a blindfold tied across her eyes, she grasped the rope, leaned back, and began her descent.

In four minutes and thirty-two seconds, Thevaky B Rajkumar, a Class 1 student of Good Earth School, Tambaram, rappelled her way into history. She emerged not only unscathed but celebrated as the youngest girl to perform blindfold rock rappelling from 155 feet, a feat certified by the Asia Book of Records, India Book of Records, and The Noble Book of World Records.

Born to Mrs. S. Bhavani and Mr. Rajkumar S.P., residents of Tambaram, Chennai, Thevaky also hails from Paramasivampalayam, Tirupur District, Tamil Nadu—a reminder of how small towns and rural roots nurture extraordinary talent.

From Fear to Fearlessness

The journey began not with ambition but hesitation. Her father, Mr. Rajkumar, initially enrolled her in a mountaineering class to help her overcome a fear of nature. What started as a confidence-building step evolved into passion—and finally a world record achievement.

Her parents stood proud at Malaipattu as they watched their daughter descend with remarkable composure.

Guided by Experienced Coaches

Behind her daring act was systematic training led by Mr. R. Thirulogachandran, General Secretary of the Tamil Nadu Mountaineering Association, as the primary coach, with consistent support from Mr. Ramanan as additional coach. They ensured every preparation step was meticulous and child-focused.

“Thevaky I saw that morning was not the same little girl I met on the first day of training,” recalled Thirulogachandran, describing her transformation in confidence and skill.

Safety First, Then Bravery

The feat was carried out under strict medical and safety supervision. Before the attempt, Thevaky underwent a physical fitness evaluation by Dr. K. Vijaya Ragavan, Consultant Paediatrician, and a psychiatric evaluation by Dr. Vivek Arun Kumar, Consultant Psychiatrist, both from Annai Arul Hospital, who certified her fit for the challenge.

On the day, a mini-hospital ambulance from Annai Arul Hospital, Old Perungalathur, equipped with advanced emergency facilities, was stationed at the site. After the descent, nurse Reshma conducted a post-event health check, confirming Thevaky’s condition was normal and stable.

A Perfect Tribute on National Sports Day

The timing was significant. The attempt took place on National Sports Day 2025, celebrated in memory of hockey legend Major Dhyan Chand. This year’s theme, “One Hour on the Playground,” urged children to move away from gadgets and embrace outdoor activity.

Thevaky’s achievement became a living symbol of that message. Her mother, Bhavani, reflected, “When trained, anything is possible.” She emphasized that while the idea came from Thevaky herself, the family never forced her into it—they simply stood by her choice.

Recognition at National and International Level

Her accomplishment did not go unnoticed. The feat has been formally recognized by prestigious organizations:

1. Asia Book of Records – “Youngest to perform a blindfolded rappelling feat”

2. India Book of Records – “Youngest to perform a blindfolded rappelling feat”

3. The Noble Book of World Records – “Youngest girl to perform blindfold rock rappelling from 155 feet”

These honors reaffirm not just the uniqueness of her effort but its wider significance for Indian sport.

Recognition from the Sporting Community

The feat drew attention from Tamil Nadu’s sports leadership. Thiru J. Meghanatha Reddy, IAS, Member Secretary of the Sports Development Authority of Tamil Nadu (SDAT), invited Thevaky and her parents to his office to congratulate them. He encouraged the young achiever to pursue her sporting ambitions, recognizing her as an inspiring face for the next generation.

Why This Feat Matters for India’s Sporting Future

Thevaky’s blindfold descent is more than a personal triumph. It aligns with larger shifts in the global sporting arena. Sport climbing will be a core discipline at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, signaling the rise of adventure sports on the world stage.

India is building momentum for a 2036 Olympic bid. Achievements like this showcase how the country’s young athletes can step into new arenas, bringing medals from disciplines often overlooked in mainstream training.

The journey also echoes the New Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which emphasizes daily physical activity and the integration of sports in schools. For a country with vast natural landscapes, this is a call to broaden the sporting culture. With infrastructure and grassroots programs—such as government-supported artificial climbing walls, bouldering caves, belay systems, and safety harness networks—young enthusiasts like Thevaky could grow into a new generation of adventure-sport leaders, helping India expand its sporting culture beyond traditional arenas.

A Nation of Natural Climbers

India’s mountain ranges—the Himalayas, Western Ghats, Aravallis, and Satpuras—have long inspired climbing in youth. With focused coaching and institutional support, this natural instinct can translate into Olympic-level talent.

Thevaky’s feat symbolizes the untapped climbing potential in India—proof that with safety, training, and encouragement, even the youngest athletes can take bold steps toward excellence.

Climbing into India’s Sporting Narrative

On National Sports Day 2025, Thevaky’s fearless descent became more than a record. It stood as a metaphor for a young nation ready to shed fear, trust its potential, and climb into new sporting frontiers.

As India pursues the 2036 Olympics, the path will extend beyond stadiums. It will be built on cliffs, in schools, and through the courageous steps of children like Thevaky.

On that August morning, a girl from Tambaram—with roots in Tirupur’s Paramasivampalayam—showed India what courage looks like when blindfolded. Her rope carried not just her weight, but the weight of a nation’s sporting dreams waiting to climb higher.

Joining them in their quest is Artize, a luxury brand from the house of Jaquar. This first-of-its-kind sponsorship is a testament to Mayfair and Artize’s shared belief in the values of luxury, timeless craftsmanship and time-honoured legacy.

Formed in 2021 under the visionary leadership of 26-year-old patron Anay Shah, Mayfair Polo is an embodiment of modern Indian polo, which goes beyond the pursuit of trophies and celebrates a longstanding tradition of excellence. The team has been playing at Category ‘A’ centres – from Delhi and Noida to Jaipur and Mumbai, proudly sporting its colours that represent players who are at the top of their class, display exemplary courage and are imbued with competitive fire. In addition to being the driving force behind Mayfair Polo, Shah not only leads the team strategically but also competes on the field with a (+0) handicap, reflecting his deep personal commitment to the sport.

Just as polo has transcended the royal grounds of Jaipur and Jodhpur to conquer cosmopolitan fields in Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru, while being the very embodiment of aristocracy, elegance and prestige, so has Mayfair Housing upheld itself as a beacon in Mumbai’s flourishing real estate landscape over its sixty-year legacy. Its association with Mayfair Polo is an extension of this commitment to excellence and finds resonance in the group’s approach of straddling the best of the old and the new. Similarly, for Artize – a brand built on the foundational pillars of luxury, craftsmanship and embracing the extraordinary – the partnership with Mayfair Polo represents their desire to back talent that’s at the top of its game and a team that matches their unwavering pursuit of redefining benchmarks.

“Polo has always been more than a sport for those who play and appreciate it. In addition to being the sport of nobles, the gameplay is built on the foundation of teamwork, coordination, foresight and precision – these are values that we uphold. For me, polo is more than a passion – it represents my passion for upholding legacy, as well as my dedication to preserving centuries-old traditions through the lens of innovation. I’m very proud to have Artize, a brand that epitomises fine art and craftsmanship and distils these to elevate everyday objects into creations of lore,” said Anay Shah, Founder of Mayfair Polo and Director of Mayfair Housing.

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], October 13: The Kolkata Thunderbolts produced a commanding performance to overpower the Chennai Blitz 15–11, 15–12, 15–13 in the RR Kabel Prime Volleyball League powered by Scapia at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium on Saturday. Jithin N was adjudged the Player of the Match, while team captain Ashwal Rai received the Game Changer of the Match award.

At the post-match presentation, Jithin expressed his gratitude to the coaching and support staff, management, and his teammates for their consistent encouragement. Captain Ashwal Rai credited the collective effort, saying, “This trophy belongs to the entire team. We are all playing as a unit.”

Pankaj Sharma made an impact early on with sharp attacks for Kolkata, as the team focused on exploiting the middle zone through Matin Takavar. The Chennai side, lacking experience in that department, struggled to counter. Sebastian Geraldo marked his PVL debut with powerful spikes and precise receptions that added strength to the Thunderbolts’ attack.

Head Coach Naser Shahnazi seemed to have mastered the 15-point format, guiding the team effectively through successful reviews, super serves, and super points. Behind the scenes, the franchise’s management has built a strong core. Team Director Sumedh Patodia, an alumnus of IIM Ahmedabad, has been instrumental in shaping the Thunderbolts’ vision. “Our top priority is team culture, and our main focus is to develop volleyball talent across India,” said the young director.

Chairman and Principal Owner CA Pawan Kumar Patodia shared before the match that the players were emotionally charged. “Our team is bound like a family, and one of our senior members, Manager Nayan, has suffered a great personal loss. The players decided to dedicate their performance to him,” he said.

Chennai’s libero Shrikanth entertained the crowd with his acrobatic digs, but he met stiff resistance from Thunderbolts’ Libero Hari Prasad BS, who displayed exceptional reflexes throughout the match. “We are just getting into rhythm and improving with each game. Every day, we learn from one another,” said Hari, a three-year veteran with Kolkata Thunderbolts.

Ashwal Rai continued to impress in his new position, securing a crucial super point with a solid block against Luiz Felipe Perotto. While Chennai’s defence faltered, leaving gaps that Kolkata capitalised on, the Thunderbolts’ defensive setup remained rock-solid, frustrating every Chennai attempt to build momentum.

From setter Jithin’s flawless passes to Muhammed Iqbal’s precise blocking, Kolkata’s coordination was seamless, drawing loud cheers from over 500 fans in the stands. Ashwal’s all-round performance was well complemented by the team’s collective effort. Late substitute Suryansh Tomar provided the finishing touches with spirited play. “It’s an honour to play alongside such experienced players. The camaraderie this season has been exceptional,” Tomar said, reflecting on his return to the squad.

With this victory, Kolkata Thunderbolts climbed to third place on the points table, as more than one-third of the league stage matches have been completed. Their next challenge will be against the newest franchise, the Goa Guardians, known for their hard-fought five-set thrillers. The match will take place at 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 14, 2025. Another win could take Kolkata a step closer to securing a semi-final berth in Season 4 of the PVL.

Hyderabad began the opening set on the offensive, with Brazilian Vitor Yudi Yamamoto and Sahil Kumar dominating at the net. The Guardians’ Nathaniel Dickinson and Chirag Yadav put up a spirited fight with powerful spikes to keep the set tight, but Sahil Kumar’s thunderous finish sealed the opener in Hyderabad’s favour.

However, Hyderabad’s Niyaz Abdul broke through the Goan defence to force a deuce, and Sahil Kumar once again stepped up under pressure to clinch the set for the hosts.

Goa came back strongly in the third set, led by Dushyant Singh’s blistering super serve. Although Sahil closed the deficit for Hyderabad later in the set, Prince and Gaurav Yadav combined effectively to help Goa take the set and keep their hopes alive.

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], October 18: The Hyderabad Black Hawks showcased dominance at home, defeating the Goa Guardians 3–1 with set scores of 15–13, 20–18, 15–17, and 15–9 in the RR Kabel Prime Volleyball League powered by Scapia at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium, Hyderabad, on Thursday. Brazilian star Vitor Yudi Yamamoto was named Player of the Match as the Black Hawks climbed to sixth place on the points table with seven points.

The hosts came out firing, taking an early two-set lead as the Goa Guardians struggled to find consistency and committed costly unforced errors. Despite Prince’s strong showing at the net that helped Goa claim the third set, Hyderabad’s attacking trio of Yamamoto, Sahil Kumar, and Niyaz Abdul proved too much to handle, sealing a vital 3–1 win for the home side.

In the opening set, Yamamoto and Sahil dominated the attack, while Nathaniel Dickinson and Chirag Yadav fought hard to keep Goa in contention. A fierce spike from Sahil closed out the set in Hyderabad’s favour.

The second set saw both teams trade points evenly, with Goa gaining brief control through Dushyant’s sharp blocking. However, Niyaz broke through with crucial points before Sahil once again delivered under pressure to give Hyderabad a two-set cushion.

Goa showed resilience in the third set, riding on Dushyant Singh’s fiery super serve and coordinated plays from Prince and Gaurav Yadav, who helped them pull one back.

Hyderabad quickly regrouped in the fourth set, with Shikhar Singh’s excellent blocking and Yamamoto’s unstoppable spikes dismantling Goa’s defence. Continuous unforced errors from the Guardians widened the gap, allowing Hyderabad to cruise to a confident finish and secure a much-needed victory.

Kankanala Abhishek Reddy, Principal Owner of the Hyderabad Black Hawks, expressed his delight after the win:

“It was a crucial match for us to stay alive in the semi-final race, and the team rose to the occasion. Winning at home in front of our fans makes it even more meaningful. Hyderabad remains firmly in the hunt, and this win keeps the energy high for the rest of the season.”

Mohan Ukkrapandian was named the Player of the Match.

Shameemudheen continued his excellent form for Calicut, producing crucial blocks against Ashwal Rai and attacking effectively from the middle zone. Sustained service pressure from Ashok Bishnoi helped Calicut gain an early edge. Kolkata’s overseas star Matin Takavar replied with powerful spikes, but frequent service errors disrupted their rhythm and momentum.

Santhosh joined the offensive play for Calicut, allowing captain and setter Mohan Ukkrapandian to distribute the ball with precision and control. The pair of Vikas Maan and Shameem established a solid blocking line, making it difficult for Kolkata’s frontline hitters to break through.

As the match progressed, Calicut committed a few service errors, giving Kolkata a glimmer of hope. However, Pankaj Sharma’s cross-body spike sailed wide, enabling Calicut to take a 2–0 lead. Shameem continued to stand tall in defence, blocking fierce attacks from Rahul K. and maintaining Calicut’s dominance.

Despite accurate passing from reserve setter Jithin, the Thunderbolts were unable to capitalise on key attacking chances due to Calicut’s composed defence and sharp court positioning. Santhosh and Tharusha Chamath stayed consistent with their strikes as Calicut sealed a commanding 3–0 victory, bagging all three points.

Kolkata Thunderbolts now hold on to slim playoff hopes, with two matches remaining—against Hyderabad and Delhi. “We are known for comebacks, and we will bounce back from this defeat as well,” said Chairman and Principal Owner, CA Pawan Kumar Patodia.

In this contest of champions, the result proved to be a significant morale booster for the reigning champions, Calicut Heroes, who have endured a tough season so far in Season 4.

With one match left—the Kerala Derby against Kochi Blue Spikers—team owner Safeer PT expressed his joy, saying, “This win is for the fans and supporters of Calicut Heroes.

Commenting on this development, Mr. K Mohammed Haris, Managing Director & CEO, Mukka Proteins Limited, stated: “This acquisition is a pivotal step in our long-term strategy. By integrating FABBCO, we are not just expanding our capabilities but immediately deploying them. The new 300 tons per day facility in Bengaluru, operationalized under a contract with Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), is a testament to our joint capacity to execute large-scale, impactful projects that tackle urban waste management head-on. By integrating FABBCO into our portfolio alongside Ento Proteins, our Subsidiary, we are significantly expanding our capabilities to provide responsibly sourced, nutrient-dense, and cost-effective feed solutions. MPL as a group now operates approximately. 500 tons per day of waste management capacity using BSF Technology across multiple locations, reinforcing our leadership position in sustainable waste processing.”

He further added: “This investment is also deeply aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and Goal 14 (Life Below Water). By advancing insect protein as an alternative feed ingredient, we are actively reducing the industry’s reliance on marine-based feed ingredients. This initiative perfectly embodies circular economy principles by transforming urban waste streams into essential agricultural inputs, as demonstrated by our successes in Mangalore and our immediate expansion to Bengaluru.”

Strategic Synergies and Market Impact

The acquisition creates powerful synergies that position Mukka Proteins as a leader in the sustainable feed sector:

• Enhanced Portfolio: The integration of FABBCO with MPL’s existing insect protein subsidiary, Ento Proteins, creates a robust and diversified alternative protein vertical, offering a spectrum of protein solutions from traditional fish meal to cutting-edge insect-based alternatives.
• Strategic Advantage from Kochi Operations: The acquisition of FABBCO has significantly strengthened MPL’s capabilities through the sharing of its specialized technical know-how, design expertise, and operational guidance. FABBCO’s established 100 TPD waste management unit in Kochi serves as a proof of concept, and its team’s proficiency in process optimization and project execution is playing a pivotal role in MPL’s rapid expansion. This collaboration ensures the implementation of advanced design inputs and best practices, enabling MPL to build and scale sustainable waste-to-protein projects efficiently across multiple locations.
• Circular Economy Innovation: FABBCO’s expertise in converting waste into high-value feed provides MPL with a scalable, environmentally positive source of raw materials. By preventing organic waste from reaching landfills, this process significantly cuts down on methane emissions and enhances MPL’s ESG profile.
• Reduced Dependency: By developing a strong alternative protein source, MPL mitigates risks and builds resilience into its supply chain, insulating the business from the price fluctuations and supply chain disruptions often associated with wild-caught marine resources.

Transaction Details

• MPL has acquired a 51% stake in FABBCO for a total consideration of ₹5,95,10,500 through a combination of share subscription and acquisition from existing shareholders.
• The transaction was formally completed on September 02, 2025, from which date FABBCO officially operates as a subsidiary of Mukka Proteins Limited.

New Delhi [India], September 2: Anytime Fitness, the world’s largest and fastest-growing gym chain with over 5,500 clubs globally and 170+ operational across India, has joined hands with AIRTH, a deep-tech startup incubated at IIT Bombay and IISc Bangalore, to launch the Clean Air Gym Movement. This landmark collaboration positions Anytime Fitness as the first fitness chain in India to transform gyms into Certified Clean Air Zones, ensuring that members breathe safe, purified air during their workouts.

The move highlights addressing a long-overlooked health concern: indoor air pollution. Tests conducted across gyms after installation have shown up to a 90% improvement in air quality, particularly in reducing harmful PM2.5 and above particles. This is especially significant in fitness environments, where members breathe deeper and push their lungs harder, making clean air a crucial part of safe and effective workouts. Through the partnership, Anytime Fitness is reimagining wellness by focusing on the quality of every breath its members take.

Anytime Fitness’ integration of AIRTH’s patented Filtrix technology, which upgrades existing air-conditioning systems to also function as advanced air purifiers is a highlight of this partnership. This enhancement goes beyond conventional filtration by eliminating fine particulate matter (PM2.5), dust, allergens, and airborne pathogens, including bacteria and viruses. Strengthened by AIRTH’s Antimicrobial Green Coating, the system helps neutralize microbes on contact. Through this step, Anytime Fitness clubs would now be able to deliver internationally benchmarked air quality standards, giving members a fitness environment where every workout is supported by cleaner, safer air.

The rollout has already begun across 85 Anytime Fitness clubs in Delhi NCR, making this one of the largest-scale indoor clean air implementations in India’s fitness industry. Early results have shown members experiencing easier breathing, improved stamina, and faster recovery during workouts. Even after continuous exchange of indoor & outdoor air, Anytime Fitness’s gyms are experiencing low AQI levels with constant removal of airborne pollutants inside the gyms.

Speaking on the partnership, Mr. Vikas Jain, Managing Director, Anytime Fitness India, said, “Fitness has always been defined by strength, endurance, and recovery. But true wellness cannot exist without clean air. Through collaborating with AIRTH, we are taking a step that goes beyond innovation as it’s also about trust and responsibility. We want our members to know that every breath they take inside our gyms is working for them, not against them. This is about both: cleaner gyms coupled with a healthier way of living.”

Adding to this, Ravi Kaushik, Founder and CEO of AIRTH, who was featured on Shark Tank India and widely praised for his innovation, shared, “People measure progress in reps and sets, but forget the invisible fuel behind it all i.e., the air. If we don’t fix the quality of what we breathe, we are undoing the very benefits of fitness. This partnership with Anytime Fitness goes beyond gyms as it focuses on making clean air a basic standard wherever health is concerned.”

The collaboration sets a new benchmark for the fitness industry, uniting two powerful ideas: Movement and Breath. Anytime Fitness and AIRTH are working together to expand this initiative beyond Delhi NCR, with a vision to redefine the role of gyms from being places of strength alone to being complete spaces for holistic health.

About Anytime Fitness – Anytime Fitness India is a leading fitness franchise that offers 24/7 gym access to its members. With multiple locations across India, Anytime Fitness provides a convenient and accessible fitness solution for individuals of all fitness levels. Its state-of-the-art facilities, modern equipment, and expert trainers make it an ideal choice for achieving health and fitness goals.

New Delhi [India], September 2:  The Government of Queensland, Australia, has recognized Mr. Dinesh Shinde, CEO of Anusaya Fresh India Pvt. Ltd., as one of the youngest and most dynamic entrepreneurs in the global fresh produce industry. The prestigious award was presented by Hon. David Crisafulli MP, Premier of Queensland, at a special event celebrating 20 years of friendship between India and Queensland, held at the Taj Palace Hotel, New Delhi.

Anusaya Fresh was honored for its exceptional contribution to the development of the produce industry in India. Over the years, the company has successfully imported more than 300 tons of Australian avocados via both air and ocean routes, playing a pioneering role in establishing avocados in the Indian market.

Founded 75 years ago, Anusaya Fresh has built a legendary legacy across four generations. Today, under the leadership of Mr. Dinesh Shinde, the company continues to expand its global footprint. Speaking at the event, Mr. Shinde expressed his gratitude and pride:

“This award is not just a personal achievement but a proud moment for the entire Anusaya Fresh family. We remain committed to strengthening trade ties between India and Australia and introducing more premium products such as avocados, stone fruits, lamb, and other high-quality produce into the Indian market. The scope for these products is tremendous, and we see a very promising future.”

Anusaya Fresh is actively collaborating with leading Australian companies to bring premium agricultural products to India. With operations across four major business verticals – e-commerce, hotels & restaurants, modern retail, and general trade – the company has established a strong distribution network throughout India. Each year, it continues to achieve new milestones while expanding its product portfolio.

Mr. Shinde, currently based in the United States, is driving Anusaya Fresh’s international expansion, with a presence in nine countries, including India, the United States, Canada, Thailand, South Africa, Chile, Peru, and the UAE. The company is now preparing to introduce blueberries and additional stone fruits into India’s premium segment, supported by a dedicated team working tirelessly to meet market demand.

He also emphasized the favorable policies of the Indian government that provide customs duty concessions for Australian produce imports, giving a significant boost to bilateral trade. This alignment of government support and industry expertise is expected to further accelerate growth in the Indo-Australian agri-trade partnership.

As one of the first importers of avocados into India, Anusaya Fresh has played a transformative role in developing the avocado market, setting the stage for long-term opportunities for Australian exporters and Indian consumers alike.

New Delhi [India], September 2: In the business environment where the image of the brand is closely tied to values, the top companies in India are looking towards sustainable corporate gifting in order to help spur connections, cultivate goodwill, and demonstrate their loyalty to the world. Leading this change is Suspire, a zero-commission sustainable marketplace that has gained popularity rapidly as the implausible alternative for customers who want the best in terms of high-quality and sustainable gifts. This is because, by integrating quality, creativity, and environmental responsibility, Suspire has made a difference in what corporate gifting is all about.

The corporate gifting venture of Suspire is founded upon the same values which have positioned the company as one of the leaders in sustainable commerce in India. Each of the products offered as gifts is chosen because they function well, are expertly designed, and excel in terms of their sustainability, which makes them not only pleasing to the person who receives the gift but also reflects well on the company whose name is attached to the gift. Whether it is an employee onboarding kit or a large-scale festive hamper, every gifting initiative is taken care of from start to finish with precise consideration towards zero waste, responsible sourcing, and using homegrown skills.

There is something that Suspire has that all other organizations do not: the profound commitment to the sustainability of the gifting process. Product information is scored using the Suspire Sustainability Score, an industry-proprietary 3S Certification Program to comply with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This makes each and every corporate gift associated with genuineness that reflects both corporate integrity and consumer confidence. To companies, this means the possibility to make a statement that is forceful without sacrificing quality or design. To the customers, it is all about getting the kind of gifts that are as beautiful as they are meaningful.

The zero-commission subscription that is present in the marketplace has posed distinctive benefits to partner brands that provide these gifts. Eliminating sales commissions combined with access to advanced AI technology, targeted marketing, and strategic expansion support means that Suspire partner brands are highly prepared to fulfil high-order volumes without losing their profit margin. Such a structure has advantages in addition to benefiting the brands and offering corporate clients a diverse range of quality products at competitive rates.

In the last one year, Suspire was associated with some of the most respected names in the corporate world in India and has provided gifting solutions that are sensitive, cherishable, and effective. As the demand from international clients increases, the firm is currently venturing into international markets, where it is supplying companies abroad with Indian-made sustainable products that are in need of ethical gifting partners. This also serves to enhance the branding of Indian craftsmanship and innovation in the global setting.

To innovative companies, being aligned with Suspire is a procurement strategy as well as a brand alignment strategy. Sustainable gifting can be used as a physical means of showing the employees, clients, and stakeholders that the company is operating responsibly in an age where employees, clients, and stakeholders expect companies to be responsible. Not only are the brands providing Suspire with the ability to expand their brand presence to meet their gifting needs, but also by committing to working with Suspire, brands are becoming a part of the bigger picture to support conscious consumption.

With corporate India increasingly adopting the idea of sustainability to become an essential part of business, Suspire is bound to become an even more authoritative source of sustainable corporate gifting solutions. Its perfect blend of carefully selected perfection, environmentally certified sustainability, and efficiency is, therefore, no coincidence that the best companies of India choose Suspire to bring every present in line with their principles and ideas of a greener world.
