        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-09-03-26-4.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="NICMAR University" decoding="async"></p><p><strong><span data-sheets-root="1">Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], March 09:</span> </strong>NICMAR University of Construction Studies (NUCS), Hyderabad, has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with RDash, an <a href="https://rdash.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AI-powered construction management software</a>, to equip students with industry-ready digital project management capabilities and real-world construction execution skills.</p>
<p>The MoU was signed on 25 February 2026 at the NICMAR University Hyderabad campus in the presence of senior leadership from both institutions, followed by a formal launch event where RDash leadership addressed students directly on the future of AI-driven construction management.</p>
<p><em>“At NICMAR, our focus has always been on industry-aligned education for the built environment sector. Partnering with RDash enables our students to engage with contemporary digital construction practices and strengthens their readiness for evolving industry expectations,” </em>said the Vice Chancellor, NICMAR University, Hyderabad.</p>
<p>Under this three-year collaboration, all NICMAR University, Hyderabad students across programs will receive enterprise access to the RDash platform throughout their course duration and for 12 months after course completion — ensuring continuity of learning as they transition into their professional careers. The initiative also includes the launch of a dedicated <strong>RDash Students’ </strong><strong>Guide</strong>, a practical learning resource grounded in real construction case studies and practical insights from industry veterans, designed to give students an immediate working understanding of how construction projects are executed on the ground.</p>
<p><em>“Hands-on exposure to enterprise construction management platforms and real project scenarios significantly enhances student learning. This collaboration integrates practical digital workflows into academic training and prepares our graduates for technology-enabled project environments,” </em>added the Dean-Executive Education, Industry Relations & Placements, NICMAR University, Hyderabad.</p>
<h1>Preparing students for the AI-driven future of construction</h1>
<p>A defining pillar of this collaboration is RDash’s commitment to AI literacy for the next generation of construction professionals. Construction is at an inflection point — repetitive site reporting, procurement tracking, cost monitoring, and progress documentation are increasingly being handled by AI, fundamentally reshaping what project managers will be expected to do.</p>
<p>As part of the engagement, RDash will deliver dedicated AI-focused workshops covering three critical questions every future construction professional needs to answer: which construction jobs and workflows are getting automated first, how AI will reshape career trajectories in project management and site execution, and what students can do today to position themselves ahead of the disruption rather than behind it.</p>
<p>These workshops will be complemented by hands-on exposure to <a href="https://rdash.ai/power-features/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>RDash AI</strong></a> — RDash’s proprietary AI layer that is actively shaping how construction businesses manage projects, predict delays, control costs, and drive decisions in real time. Students will learn not just how to use the platform, but why AI-augmented project management is becoming the baseline expectation across contractors, developers, and infrastructure companies globally.</p>
<p><em>“Construction is undergoing a fundamental shift toward data-driven, digitally managed project delivery. The question for the next generation isn’t whether AI will change their jobs</em></p>
<p><em>— it’s whether they’ll be equipped to lead that change or simply adapt to it. Through our collaboration with NICMAR University, Hyderabad, we want every student who goes through this program to graduate with both the practical skills and the AI fluency to be a force multiplier on any project they touch,” </em>said Amit Bansal, CEO, RDash.</p>
<h1>Structured learning, certification, and a direct path to global opportunities</h1>
<p>RDash will deliver a four-part annual industry curriculum — one session per quarter — covering end-to-end construction management, BOQ-driven execution, digitisation of construction businesses, and AI’s role in shaping the future of the industry. The year culminates in a <strong>“Smart Project Manager” capstone case competition</strong>, evaluated by esteemed industry professionals, where participants will receive certificates of participation, and top performers will receive special recognition.</p>
<p>Critically, certificate holders from the RDash case competition will <strong>automatically qualify </strong>for consideration with RDash’s top clients in the UAE and other international markets — creating a direct, structured pathway from the NICMAR campus to global career opportunities. RDash will actively redirect its premium international clients to hire from this certified talent pool.</p>
<p><em>“This isn’t just a software access program. We’re building a pipeline of construction professionals who understand AI, think systematically, and are ready to deliver on real projects from day one. That’s the kind of talent our clients in India and the UAE are actively looking for,” </em>added Amit Bansal.</p>
<h1>About the Collaboration</h1>
<p>The NICMAR–RDash collaboration is designed as an ongoing industry engagement platform to develop Construction 4.0-ready professionals through:</p>
<ul>
<li>Enterprise RDash platform access for all students — during studies and 12 months post-completion</li>
<li>Launch of the RDash Students’ Guide covering construction fundamentals and real-world case studies</li>
<li>Quarterly industry workshop series, including dedicated AI literacy and RDash AI sessions</li>
<li>Hands-on exposure to AI-powered construction management workflows</li>
<li>Digital project management certifications</li>
<li>Industry-evaluated “Smart Project Manager” capstone competition</li>
<li>Fast-track hiring consideration with RDash’s UAE and international client network for competition certificate holders</li>
</ul>
<p>The MoU will be implemented across NICMAR University, Hyderabad’s built environment programs.</p>

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], March 09: </strong>In a time defined by rapid transformation, evolving social priorities, and the growing influence of ideas, The Literature Today is proud to celebrate a dynamic group of prominent literary voices shaping conversations that truly matter. This specially curated feature brings together inspiring authors including Malala, Arundhati Roy, Radhika Agarwal Suresh Kumar, Pavithra Srinivasan, Sreelata Menon, Reshel Bretny Fernandes, Dr. Nisheet Kumar, Navneet Jhamb, and Dhaval Birajdar, distinguished personalities whose work reflects both the evolving spirit of modern India and the broader global narrative of change.</p>
<p>From leadership and governance to education, history, youth empowerment, ethical technology, and purposeful living, these authors are not just telling stories; they are influencing mindsets, inspiring action, and shaping the intellectual landscape of today’s society. Their writings combine lived experience with thoughtful insight, offering readers clarity, motivation, and meaningful perspective in an increasingly complex world.</p>
<p>As we move toward a future driven by innovation, social responsibility, and human values, these literary voices stand out for their ability to connect knowledge with emotion, purpose with progress, and storytelling with impact, making them essential authors to read, follow, and learn from in the years ahead.</p>
<p><strong>Malala Yousafzai – Finding my way</strong></p>
<p>Author Malala Yousafzai is a globally respected education advocate, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, and bestselling author whose work continues to influence conversations on rights, resilience, and personal identity. Born in Mingora, Pakistan, she first rose to international prominence after surviving an assassination attempt by the Taliban as a teenager for advocating girls’ education. Her courage and conviction made her a powerful voice for equality and learning worldwide.</p>
<p>Malala’s journey spans activism, scholarship, and storytelling. She co-founded the Malala Fund, an organisation dedicated to ensuring girls everywhere can access quality education, and graduated from Oxford University in 2020, reinforcing her lifelong commitment to learning and leadership. While her early work focused on global advocacy and human rights, she has also become a compelling author whose books blend personal insight with broader societal themes.</p>
<p>In 2025, Malala released her deeply personal memoir Finding My Way, marking a significant evolution in her writing. Scheduled for publication in October 2025 by Atria Books, the memoir offers an intimate look at her life beyond headlines, fame, and activism. Rather than focusing solely on public achievements, Finding My Way chronicles her journey of self-discovery, friendship, first love, mental health, and the universal challenges of growing up in the shadow of global expectations. The narrative explores how she balanced ordinary life experiences with extraordinary responsibility, revealing her struggles, humour, and emotional truths in candid and heartfelt terms.</p>
<p>Unlike her earlier works, this book invites readers to see Malala not just as an icon of resilience, but as a young woman navigating identity, relationships, and personal growth. Finding My Way has been praised for its authenticity, vulnerability, and warmth—reminding us that even the most admired voices have moments of doubt, discovery, and transformation.</p>
<p>Through her literary work and advocacy, Malala Yousafzai continues to shape global dialogue about education, courage, and what it means to find one’s own path.</p>

With nearly three decades of distinguished service as a senior officer in the Central Reserve Police Force, including leadership as DIG CRPF in complex security environments, he has witnessed firsthand how systems operate under pressure and how individuals navigate moral dilemmas within structures of authority.</p>
<p>His international assignments with the United Nations in challenging theatres of operation exposed him to cross-cultural governance frameworks, fragile political ecosystems, and the delicate balance between law, diplomacy, and security. These experiences strengthened his understanding of conflict resolution and institutional vulnerability, adding depth and authenticity to his literary voice. Academically, he holds a Doctorate in Conflict Management along with advanced degrees in law and management, and is a Certified Independent Director engaged in discussions on corporate governance, ethics, and accountability.</p>

Drawing from over <strong>27 years of experience advising family enterprises</strong>, Sharma argues that while Indian family businesses have played a vital role in building the country’s economic strength, many founders still hesitate to address the transition of leadership and ownership.</p>
<p>India’s economic expansion has been significantly shaped by family-owned businesses — from manufacturing hubs to large infrastructure groups. Yet, while growth, valuation and expansion often dominate conversations, <strong>structured succession planning remains largely overlooked</strong>.</p>
<p>In his book, Sharma explores how the absence of clear succession frameworks has led to prolonged disputes, stalled strategic decisions, and fractured relationships within business families. Through real-life insights and anonymised case examples, he highlights how even large and sophisticated enterprises can face instability when leadership transitions are left undefined.</p>
<p>Unlike conventional estate planning literature, <strong>“Dear Son, This Is Not Just a Business”</strong> emphasizes that succession is not merely about legal documentation such as wills, trusts or shareholder agreements. According to Sharma, <strong>open family dialogue and alignment must precede legal structures</strong> to ensure stability across generations.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rakesh-sharma-succession/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Rakesh Sharma</strong></a><strong>, Author and Family Business Succession Mentor, said: </strong>“If you do not design your transition, circumstances will. Succession planning is not about stepping back — it is about ensuring that the enterprise you built continues with clarity, unity and purpose across generations.”</p>
<p>The book is written as a reflective message to the next generation but also serves as a <strong>practical guide for founders</strong> who want to secure their legacy while maintaining family harmony and business stability.</p>
<p>As India’s business ecosystem evolves and companies increasingly seek institutional investors and global partnerships, governance and transparency around leadership transition are becoming more important than ever. Sharma argues that <strong>well-designed succession planning strengthens credibility, protects relationships and ensures long-term continuity</strong>.</p>
<p>With India entering what many experts describe as <strong>the largest generational transition phase in its entrepreneurial history</strong>, the book aims to encourage founders to initiate meaningful conversations about leadership, ownership and governance while their businesses remain strong.</p>
<p>Through a mix of case analysis and strategic insights, <strong>“Dear Son, This Is Not Just a Business”</strong> calls upon Indian business families to view succession not as a sensitive topic to avoid, but as a <strong>strategic responsibility that safeguards both legacy and enterprise continuity.</strong></p>
<p><strong>About Rakesh Sharma</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rakesh-sharma-succession/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Rakesh Sharma</strong></a>, FCA, is widely recognised as <strong>India’s leading succession mentor for business families</strong>. With over <strong>27 years of experience advising family-owned enterprises</strong>, he works closely with founders and next-generation leaders to design structured succession frameworks that preserve both family harmony and business continuity.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-09-03-26-4.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Investors"></p><p dir="ltr"><strong>New Delhi [India], March 09: </strong>Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a relief rally on Thursday, March 5, climbing to over $73,000 before retracing slightly. Despite this rally, market participants have expressed worry that the bear market is not yet over, with a CryptoQuant analyst confirming that fundamental and technical indicators still point to a bear market environment.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With uncertainty now prevalent across the market, <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=next-crypto-to-explode-deepsnitch-ai-okb-kite" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI (DSNT)</a>, which uses AI to help investors make decisive trading decisions, is topping as the next crypto to explode. DeepSnitch AI is only in stage 6 of a multi-phase presale and is priced at $0.04313.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Regardless of being early, investors have expressed a strong interest in this AI crypto. Close to $2 million has been raised so far, signaling the growing demand.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Bear market not over as Bitcoin’s relief rally risks reversal</h2>
<p dir="ltr">On-chain analytics platform CryptoQuant shared on X on Thursday, March 5, that bearish pressure still persists across the crypto market in spite of Bitcoin climbing strongly above $70k.</p>
<p dir="ltr">CryptoQuant data shows that the Bull Score Index, used to measure the current market sentiment and health for Bitcoin, still points to a bearish continuation. This index had a value of 10 out of 100, as of the time of writing, sitting deep in the bearish territory.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The metric also confirms that the recent rally was only a relief rally and not the start of a new bullish expansion.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">3 altcoins ready to explode in the near future</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. DeepSnitch AI: The 100x moonshot degens are chasing before the March 31 launch</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The DeepSnitch AI presale has been going on for a while. But recently, momentum has peaked as investors begin to notice how powerful the Deepnitch AI tools are.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As a result, the project closed to $2 million in only six presale stages. DeepSnitch AI is only priced at $0.04313, a 186% jump from the initial presale price. What this means is that initial buyers are already up 186% in presale gains and rank it among the top breakout crypto projects.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For those waiting for the perfect time to buy DSNT, the opportunity to make substantial gains is slipping away. The team just announced that the presale will end on March 31, after which the token will launch on major tier 1 exchanges.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Once the token launches, there’s no coming back. DeepSnitch AI’s five AI tools: SnitchScan, AuditSnitch, SnitchFeed, SnitchCast, and SnitchGPT will be available for daily use by retail traders.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Buying now could give you access to these innovative tools that track market sentiment, FUD changes, and emerging trends. In fact, the platform is up and running, with a smartly designed interface offering smooth access.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Moving in early means you can also stake your DeepSnitch AI tokens to earn passive DSNT rewards ahead of launch. The project supports uncapped staking rewards, powered by a dynamic APY.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Most see <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=next-crypto-to-explode-deepsnitch-ai-okb-kite" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> as the next crypto to explode because of its utility, clear roadmap, strong presale momentum,m and the fact that it is still in early stages.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://youtu.be/_mIZhYYMthI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/_mIZhYYMthI</a></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. OKB price analysis as OKB jumps over 23%: will the rally hold?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">OKB token (OKB) has highlighted itself to be one of the altcoins ready to explode in 2026. According to data from Coingecko, this crypto surged by 23% over the past week, to trade at $95.12. This rally signals strong bullish momentum, but investors want to know whether the momentum will hold.</p>
<p dir="ltr">According to the 4-hour chart on TradingView, OKB’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 71 shows that this crypto is overbought and may retrace in the near term. On the other hand, the MACD shows that bullish momentum still exists with the MACD line above the signal line.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If the momentum holds, OKB could surge towards $150, making it the next crypto to explode. However, a reversal may occur if selling pressure steps in.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">3. Kite price analysis as price soars 18% over the past week</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Kite (KITE) has once again moved into the top 100 cryptos ranked by market capitalization, making it a top crypto gaining investor attention. The move follows KITE’s 18.3% surge over the last 7 days, with the price reaching $0.2826 on Friday, March 6.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A look at the daily chart on TradingView shows that Kite is on a strong bullish trend. The crypto has been rising gradually, as indicated by the trendline. Additionally, further upswing is expected, as indicated by the bullish RSI and incoming bullish crossover on the MACD indicator.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Final verdict</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The 100x ROI prospects position DeepSnitch AI as the next crypto to explode. With the launch now approaching, this crypto could easily achieve such a run.</p>
<p dir="ltr">You now have a last chance to buy DSNT before the price moons. Missing out on this crypto, gaining investor attention could prove to be regrettable in the near future.</p>

<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI is topping the list of the altcoins ready to explode in 2026. This crypto has strong fundamentals that could have it mooning this cycle.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. What crypto under $1 is set to boom in 2026?</h3>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-09T155042.913.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Women leaders across India’s construction ecosystem honoured at CWIC Conclave and National Level Real Woman Awards 2026 at IIT Bombay -PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 09:</strong> Over 250 senior professionals from across India’s engineering, procurement and construction (EPC), infrastructure, architecture, real estate and allied sectors gathered at IIT Bombay for the fourth edition of Celebrating Women in Construction Conclave (CWIC) alongside the National Level Real Woman Awards 2026, organised by The Real Woman Global Community (TRWGC).</p>
<p>Held at the IIT Bombay campus in Powai, the conclave brought together industry leaders, project heads, architects, engineers and entrepreneurs to discuss leadership, innovation and the growing role of women in shaping India’s infrastructure and built environment.</p>
<p><em>“CWIC 2026 once again demonstrated the growing strength and influence of women in India’s construction ecosystem. By bringing industry leaders, iconic national projects and outstanding women professionals onto one platform, the conclave reinforces that women today are not just part of the sector — they are actively shaping its future”,</em> said <strong>Ms. Sheetal Bhilkar, President, TRWGC</strong></p>
<p>Renowned architect Sanjay Puri attended the event as Chief Guest and delivered the keynote address, presenting two of his internationally acclaimed architectural projects. His presentation focused on bold design thinking, sustainability and the importance of contextual architecture in rapidly urbanising environments.</p>
<p>One of the most anticipated sessions of the conclave was a detailed case study on the engineering and execution of the Ram Mandir Ayodhya project, presented by L&T Construction. The session offered participants insights into the scale, structural complexity and precision engineering involved in delivering one of India’s most significant contemporary temple projects.</p>
<p>A major highlight of the day was the National Level Real Woman Awards 2026, which honoured women professionals for their achievements across leadership, sustainability, site execution, entrepreneurship and innovation within the construction and infrastructure ecosystem. The awards followed a rigorous multi-stage evaluation process involving zonal jury assessments, validation interviews and final review by a Grand Jury.</p>
<p>India’s construction and infrastructure sector — one of the country’s largest employment generators — has historically seen low female participation, particularly in technical and site leadership roles. Platforms like TRWGC aim to change that narrative by creating industry recognition, mentorship opportunities and visible role models for the next generation of professionals.</p>
<p>The event was supported by Polycab India as Title Sponsor, Ravel Electronics as Co-Sponsor, Powered by Apar and Panel discussion by Gebrit. The day-long conclave featured keynote presentations, project showcases, panel discussions and the awards ceremony, making it one of the most significant national gatherings focused on women in construction and infrastructure.</p>

<p>The launch event, held at the renowned Veda Factory in Mumbai, was a unique confluence of literature, music, and storytelling. The evening featured six distinct poets and storytellers who presented their original works, while a special Sufi music performance transformed the launch into a memorable cultural experience.</p>
<p><strong>What is ‘Katha Ghar’?</strong></p>
<p>“Katha Ghar – Kaano Wala Cinema” is an audio platform where listeners can experience the Ramayana, Mahabharata, classic literature, folklore, and modern stories solely through the power of voice. The platform aims to present India’s rich oral storytelling tradition in a contemporary form for the digital age.</p>
<p><strong>Founder’s Vision :</strong></p>
<p>Shadab Siddiqui, the founder of Katha Ghar, believes that in today’s world, people are exhausted from constant screen exposure, making audio content a fresh and intuitive alternative.</p>
<p>He stated: “Katha Ghar <a href="https://kathaghar.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://kathaghar.com/</a> is not just an app; it is a new culture of listening. Our endeavor is to ensure that Indian stories, poetry, and literature reach the widest possible audience through modern technology.”</p>
<p><strong>Future Outlook :</strong></p>
<p>In a world dominated by video-streaming giants, Katha Ghar’s “audio-first” model signals a significant shift. It serves as a testament that the future of premium content will not be limited to screens but will evolve into a new ‘cinema of imagination’ crafted through the medium of voice.</p>
<p><strong>Tagline:</strong></p>
<p>“Katha Ghar — Where cinema is seen not through the eyes, but through the ears.”</p>

        <title>Best Crypto Presale: DeepSnitch AI Raises The Bar With 1000x Targets While Pepeto and Ozak AI Struggle To Catch Up As 38 Percent Of Altcoins Near All&amp;Time Low</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/best-crypto-presale-deepsnitch-ai-raises-the-bar-with-1000x-targets-while-pepeto-and-ozak-ai-struggle-to-catch-up-as-38-percent-of-altcoins-near-all-time-low-16436</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/best-crypto-presale-deepsnitch-ai-raises-the-bar-with-1000x-targets-while-pepeto-and-ozak-ai-struggle-to-catch-up-as-38-percent-of-altcoins-near-all-time-low-16436</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-22.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Best Crypto Presale: DeepSnitch AI Raises The Bar With 1000x Targets While Pepeto and Ozak AI Struggle To Catch Up As 38 Percent Of Altcoins Near All-Time Low-PNN"></p><p>Up to 38% of altcoins in the market are trading near their all time lows, with signals looking worse than the FTX collapse. This is an indication that the current assets are having a hard time recovering, leading to a rethink of strategies in favor of better prospects in the upcoming crypto presales.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In the meantime, this has put the focus squarely on the best crypto presale opportunities, especially those that are already showing traction. One example is <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presale-deepsnitch-oz-pepeto" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a>, which has raised over $1.9 million and surged more than 180% from $0.0151 to $0.04313 during its presale.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With growing interest from investors looking for the best ICO to invest in, analysts are already anticipating a 1000x rally for DeepSnitch AI, leaving the likes of Pepeto and Bitcoin Hyper trailing behind.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Altcoins slide toward historic lows as market sentiment weakens</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Recent market data suggests the altcoin sector is facing one of its toughest periods in years. Currently, about 38% of the altcoins are trading near their all time lows, which is even worse than the situation the market was in after the FTX collapse.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Several major altcoins <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">show this trend</a>. Cardano’s ADA is trading only slightly above its historical low, while Polkadot recently rebounded after touching a new low earlier this year. Polygon is also hovering just above its bottom range.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Best crypto presale: DeepSnitch AI’s 1000x play raises the bar as other presales play catch-up</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Many presales flood the market each cycle, all presenting plans of utility and huge gains that never materialize. However, investors believe they have found the best crypto presale in <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presale-deepsnitch-oz-pepeto" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a>, as it has changed the narrative and offered operational and live utility in just its 6th presale stage.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The best part is that this operational utility is available to everyone in the market, as its interface is straightforward. All AI agents are easily accessible, so even new traders can navigate them easily.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This ease has translated into huge demand, which has now culminated in huge gains, as Deepsnitch AI has raised almost $2 million in presale revenue so far.</p>
<p dir="ltr">However, traders who want to benefit from this upward trajectory have to join now, as the presale will close on March 31. Then, DeepSnitch AI will first launch on UniSwap, then additional DEX and CEX listings will follow, leading to potential 1000x gains for early investors as its price would only soar from there.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For investors seeking high growth opportunities, DeepSnitch AI is the best crypto presale to join.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://youtu.be/zERhUX4KPOU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/zERhUX4KPOU</a></p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Pepeto targets meme coin infrastructure amid rising presale competition</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Pepeto’s major aim is to bring DeFi into the meme coin trading ecosystem. It combines cross-chain swaps, asset bridging, and portfolio management within one interface.</p>
<p dir="ltr">However, the project’s long-term growth may remain closely tied to the meme coin sector, which is known for rapid hype cycles and sharp sentiment shifts. That makes it difficult for the token to be in the best crypto presale conversations.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In contrast, DeepSnitch AI is focused on AI-driven blockchain intelligence and analytics, which appeals to a wider range of traders and ensures long term relevance.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Ozak AI enters advanced presale stage with reduced early-stage leverage</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Ozak AI (OZ) is in the 7th stage of its presale at $0.014 per token. It has raised over $6.3 million and sold more than 1.14 billion tokens. The project emphasizes fundraising milestones and bonus incentives, showing investors are still interested in its presale.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Compared with emerging early-stage crypto projects, Ozak AI’s later-stage presale offers less room for exponential growth. In the context of the best crypto presale, this is quite different from projects like DeepSnitch AI, which potentially offer investors higher leverage and bonus offers.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion</h2>
<p dir="ltr">It doesn’t take much to know that DeepSnitch AI was built to stand the test of time, making it a contender in the best crypto presale conversations. The adoption of its operational utility has already proven that it is in the market to stay, and with its presale nearing its end, it’s best for traders to join the project now.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Investors who join now get to experience its bonus offers firsthand. With a $10,000 investment, investors would receive 231,531 DSNT tokens, and with the 150% bonus code DSNTVIP150, that takes it to 579,382 DSNT tokens.</p>

        <title>Best Crypto Presale in 2026: Spot Bitcoin ETFs Suffer Massive Outflows, Dogeball and Nexchain Fail to Keep Up as the Dying Minutes Tick Down to the Deep Snitch AI Launch on March 31</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-07-03-26-1-5.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt=""></p><p dir="ltr"><strong>New Delhi [India], March 07: </strong>A harsh reality check just slammed the institutional crypto sector, violently interrupting a highly celebrated streak of capital inflows. According to data from SoSoValue, spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the United States suffered a staggering $228 million in net outflows on March 5th alone.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But as money flows out of Bitcoin ETFs, many investors are positioning themselves in crypto presales that offer high value. That’s why the search for the best crypto presale is massive, and it is leading many back to <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presale-2026-spot-bitcoin-etf-outflows-dogeball-nexchain-deepsnitch-march-31-launch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI.</a> It is an AI presale project that has raised more than $1.9 million and is aiming for a massive launch within March.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Spot Bitcoin ETFs bleed $228 million</h2>
<p dir="ltr">This massive capital flight ended a three-day accumulation streak that had previously netted roughly $1.1 billion. Moreover, this dragged the price of the world’s largest digital asset below the critical $71,000 threshold.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Leading this institutional retreat was BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT), which saw an outflow of $89 million in a single session. Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) and the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) followed closely behind, shedding $48 million and $46 million, respectively.</p>
<p dir="ltr">While total assets under management stubbornly remain above the $90 billion mark, the year-to-date net outflows have increased to approximately $900 million.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">The best crypto presale for 100x gains and above</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Discover why DeepSnitch AI has a good chance among other projects as the best crypto presale for 100x gains.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI ($DSNT): Is now the best time to join before the March 31st launch?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The sudden, multi-million-dollar exodus from institutional ETFs is an example of the informational disadvantage that the average crypto user faces. But there’s good news as DeepSnitch AI has built a platform that solves this problem.</p>
<p dir="ltr">When Wall Street decides to sell, retail investors are typically the last to know, absorbing the full impact of the resulting price crash.</p>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI was meticulously built to remove this predatory dynamic. So, it makes all the tools needed by the average investor to stay ahead in the market available. The ecosystem is fully live, offering AI agents like SnitchFeed, SnitchScan, AuditSnitch, and SnitchGPT in a neat interface.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With these new features, investors can scan for vulnerabilities and also find opportunities that make them remain profitable in the market.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But DeepSnitch AI is more than just providing an intelligence and security layer for the average investor. It also gives them the opportunity to earn massive profits through its ongoing presale.</p>
<p dir="ltr">More than $1.9 million has been raised, and the <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presale-2026-spot-bitcoin-etf-outflows-dogeball-nexchain-deepsnitch-march-31-launch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DSNT token</a> has increased by more than 185% from the opening price of $0.0151. The launch is approaching faster than expected, and this could be the only chance to join the best crypto presale in 2026.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://youtu.be/sakLNY5D5MQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/sakLNY5D5MQ</a></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Dogeball Token: Gaming x Layer 2</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Dogeball Token is an example of a gamified ecosystem that is also within its presale phase. But this doesn’t necessarily mean that it is among the high potential crypto presales. This one is built within an Ethereum Layer 2 environment, and it tries to merge the viral appeal of meme culture with a play-to-earn sports gaming structure.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The underlying blockchain infrastructure promises low transaction fees and interactive reward systems. Any reward players earn within the ecosystem will be directly tethered to in-game achievements and collectible non-fungible tokens. Despite all these, when gamer attention inevitably shifts to a newer, shinier release, the internal reward system collapses.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">NexChain: One of the early investor crypto deals to consider</h3>
<p dir="ltr">NexChain claims that it is building an interoperability solution across multiple fragmented blockchains. More details show that the native token is housed on Ethereum. But the platform aims to function as a universal cross-chain bridge. It will do this by creating secure asset transfers and complex data communication between massive ecosystems like the BNB Chain and the Ethereum mainnet.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Nevertheless, NexChain is entering one of the most dangerous and saturated sectors in the crypto sector. Investors looking for secure, reliable growth are far better served by directing their capital into hyper-lucrative security protocols that actively prevent exploits, like DeepSnitch AI.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Final verdict</h2>
<p dir="ltr">For the best crypto presale in 2026, investors are better off joining presales like DeepSnitch AI. Unlike many that promise numerous roadmaps without building anything, DeepSnitch AI is fully alive with a massive launch hype building.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Use the DSNTVIP50 bonus code to get 50% extra tokens on your purchases. Remember the launch is expected to be on the 31st March, so there’s not much time left.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">What are the benefits of identifying the best crypto presale?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Identifying the best crypto presale allows retail traders to secure their capital within an insulated, early-stage infrastructure.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">What defines the most reliable high potential crypto presales?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The most reliable high potential crypto presales are characterized by transparent fundraising metrics and a fully operational technological utility prior to launch.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Why is autonomous blockchain intelligence the primary type of crypto gaining investor attention?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Autonomous blockchain intelligence is the main type of crypto gaining investor attention because everyday retail traders desperately need enterprise-grade tools to track whale wallets and avoid market manipulation.</p>

        <title>The Global Edge: Why an International Curriculum is the Best Gift You Can Give Your Child Today</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/the-global-edge-why-an-international-curriculum-is-the-best-gift-you-can-give-your-child-today</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/the-global-edge-why-an-international-curriculum-is-the-best-gift-you-can-give-your-child-today</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-09T105345.960.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Global Edge-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], March 09: </strong>Today, your child’s early learning needs to do more than cover letters and numbers. It needs to build curiosity, foster clear communication, and enable learning with others. That is why many families explore an international preschool in India when they want a wider learning approach from the start.</p>
<p>This blog explains what an international curriculum means, how it supports global readiness and skills, and what to consider before deciding if it suits your child.</p>
<h2>What Does an International Curriculum Really Mean?</h2>
<p>An international curriculum is a structured programme used across different countries and schools. It sets age-appropriate learning goals and focuses on understanding rather than memorisation. In the early years, learning is usually built around language, early maths, creativity, movement, and social skills through guided activities.</p>
<p>When parents consider an <a href="https://www.eurokidsindia.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">international preschool in India</a>, they often look closely at how teachers support curiosity, routines, and steady progress.</p>
<h2>How International Education Prepares Children for a Global World</h2>
<p>A global outlook begins with everyday classroom habits. International programmes often focus on communication, collaboration, and openness to new ideas.</p>
<ul>
<li>Builds clear speaking and careful listening</li>
<li>Encourages curiosity through questions and discussion</li>
<li>Supports teamwork with shared tasks and turn-taking</li>
<li>Strengthens adaptability by linking ideas across subjects</li>
</ul>
<h2>Why Skill-Based Learning Matters More Than Rote Learning</h2>
<p>Skill-based learning helps children apply knowledge rather than merely repeat it, supporting deeper understanding over time.</p>
<ul>
<li>Develops reasoning through simple problem-solving steps</li>
<li>Improves memory by connecting ideas to meaning</li>
<li>Builds language by explaining answers in full sentences</li>
<li>Supports progress through feedback and practice</li>
</ul>
<h2>How International Curricula Build Confidence and Independent Thinking</h2>
<p>Confidence grows when children are guided to try, adjust, and try again. International classrooms often support this with clear routines and supportive teaching.</p>
<ul>
<li>Encourages independence through age-appropriate choices</li>
<li>Builds resilience by treating mistakes as part of learning</li>
<li>Supports self-expression through speaking and creative work</li>
<li>Develops self-management through planning and completing tasks</li>
</ul>
<h2>Academic Flexibility and Global Recognition</h2>
<p>International curricula are often organised in clear stages, which can help families understand what comes next as children move through school. This structure may support smoother transitions between schools and learning pathways.</p>
<p>Recognition depends on the curriculum and the level, so it is important to review how assessment works and how learning outcomes align with future education plans, including within India.</p>
<h2>How Early Exposure Creates a Strong Learning Foundation</h2>
<p>Early childhood shapes language, attention, and social skills. International early-years programmes often combine guided play with structured activities, helping children learn to listen, follow directions, and complete tasks with care.</p>
<p>Over time, these habits can support reading readiness, clearer expression, and better concentration. Strong foundations also reduce stress when academic demands increase later.</p>
<h2>Is an International Curriculum the Right Choice for Every Child?</h2>
<p>An international curriculum can suit many children, but fit matters. Consider your child’s temperament, learning support needs, and comfort with new environments, along with your family’s longer-term plans.</p>
<p>Also, review how teachers support different learning speeds and how emotional well-being is managed alongside academics. The right choice is one where your child feels secure, appropriately challenged, and steadily supported at home and in school.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>An international curriculum can be a valuable asset because it aims to build strong fundamentals alongside communication, adaptability, and independent learning habits. The real difference comes from the quality of daily instruction and how well the approach matches your child’s needs. When those elements align, children can grow into confident learners with a wider outlook and steady academic readiness.</p>

<p><strong>Surat (Gujarat) [India], March 09: </strong>Two students from Surat-based civil services coaching institute Bubna’s IAS have successfully cleared the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) examination, bringing recognition to the city.</p>
<p>Kaushal Bubna, Director of Bubna’s IAS, said that the coaching centre has been operating in Surat for the past six years, guiding students preparing for the UPSC examination. He said that for the past three consecutive years, students associated with the institute have been achieving success in the prestigious examination, and this year as well two candidates have cleared the exam with notable All-India ranks, he said.</p>
<p>One of the successful candidates, Dr. Kishan Ram, secured All-India Rank 474 in the UPSC exam. After completing his MBBS from BJ Medical College, Ahmedabad, he went on to complete his MD in Physiology. This was Dr. Ram’s fifth attempt at the UPSC examination and his first appearance at the interview stage. Based on his rank, he is likely to be allotted the Indian Police Service (IPS).</p>
<p>The second successful candidate is Tanmay, who originally hails from Patna and has a degree in Chemical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur. This was his sixth attempt at the UPSC examination, in which he secured All-India Rank 229. He too is expected to be allotted the IPS.</p>
<p>Kaushal Bubna said the achievement is significant for Surat, as the city has historically had limited representation in the UPSC examination. He added that as a teacher, seeing his students succeed in such a prestigious examination is a matter of great pride and satisfaction.</p>
<p>The successful candidates shared insights into their preparation for the examination, the challenges they faced, and their experiences during the process. They credited their success to consistent hard work, the support of their parents, and the guidance provided by their teachers at the institute.</p>

        <title>How the Best SMM Panel Is Changing Social Media Growth in 2026</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/how-the-best-smm-panel-is-changing-social-media-growth-in-2026</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/how-the-best-smm-panel-is-changing-social-media-growth-in-2026</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-09-03-26-2-2.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="SMM" decoding="async"></p><p><em>Social media growth in 2026 is no longer accidental. It is structured, planned, and data-driven.</em></p>
<p><span data-sheets-root="1"><strong>New Delhi [India], March 09:</strong> </span>Brands once relied heavily on organic posting. If the content was good, it would spread. Today, that assumption rarely holds true. Algorithms are stricter. Competition is higher. Attention spans are shorter.</p>
<p>Businesses now understand that visibility needs management.</p>
<p>This shift is why demand for a professional <a href="https://www.aninews.in/news/business/why-businesses-are-searching-for-the-best-smm-panel-in-202620260303174412/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>smm panel</strong></a> has increased rapidly. Companies are not just looking for engagement. They are looking for performance systems that support long-term digital growth.</p>
<h2><strong>Social Media Has Become a Performance Game</strong></h2>
<p>Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube prioritize posts that gain quick interaction. The first 30 to 60 minutes after publishing are critical. If engagement appears strong, reach expands. If not, content visibility declines.</p>
<p>For brands running product launches or promotional campaigns, this uncertainty is risky.</p>
<p>Marketing teams now treat engagement like media buying. They prepare distribution strategies before publishing. A structured <strong>smm panel</strong> helps ensure posts receive initial momentum so that algorithms recognize them as relevant.</p>
<p>It is not about manipulating platforms. It is about adapting to how platforms now operate.</p>
<h2><strong>Why Businesses Search for the Best SMM Panel</strong></h2>
<p>Not all services deliver the same results. Over time, businesses have become more careful. They no longer chase the lowest prices. They search for the <strong>best smm panel</strong> that offers stability and professional control.</p>
<p>There are clear reasons behind this change:</p>
<p><strong>Consistency Matters<br>
</strong> Campaigns follow schedules. Delays can harm marketing performance. Reliable systems ensure timing stays aligned.</p>
<p><strong>Gradual Growth Is Safer<br>
</strong> Sudden engagement spikes look unnatural. Controlled delivery protects account credibility.</p>
<p><strong>Multi-Platform Support Is Essential<br>
</strong> Modern brands operate across several platforms at once. Managing everything under one dashboard increases efficiency.</p>
<p><strong>Agency-Level Tools Are Required<br>
</strong> Marketing agencies need bulk ordering, API integration, and tracking systems. Professional panels now offer these features.</p>
<p>The industry has matured. Expectations are higher.</p>
<h2><strong>The Role of TNT SMM in the Market</strong></h2>
<p>Within this growing ecosystem, platforms like <strong>TNT SMM</strong> are gaining attention among digital marketers. Agencies and resellers often discuss structured solutions that combine performance reliability with scalable delivery systems.</p>
<p>The focus today is not simply on gaining followers. It is about supporting campaigns during key promotional periods.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<ul>
<li>New product announcements</li>
<li>Seasonal sales events</li>
<li>Influencer collaborations</li>
<li>Brand re-launch campaigns</li>
</ul>
<p>An organized <strong>smm panel</strong> provides that early push which helps content gain wider organic reach.</p>
<p>Professionals now see such systems as part of operational strategy rather than optional add-ons.</p>
<h2><strong>Small Businesses Are Adopting Smart Growth</strong></h2>
<p>Interestingly, this shift is not limited to large corporations.</p>
<p>Small businesses are becoming increasingly aware of how social proof affects customer behavior. A profile with visible interaction builds confidence. An inactive page creates doubt.</p>
<p>When launching a new page, businesses often struggle with zero engagement. That early stage can feel slow and discouraging.</p>
<p>Using a structured <strong>best smm panel</strong> solution helps create activity signals that attract real users. Once engagement starts flowing, organic interaction improves naturally.</p>
<p>This layered strategy is becoming common among startups and online entrepreneurs.</p>
<h2><strong>Content Alone Is Not Enough</strong></h2>
<p>One major misconception in digital marketing is that great content guarantees visibility. While quality is essential, it does not guarantee reach.</p>
<p>Platforms are overcrowded. Even excellent posts compete with millions of others.</p>
<p>Distribution strategy now plays an equal role.</p>
<p>A professional <strong>smm panel</strong> supports distribution without replacing creativity. Brands still invest in storytelling, video production, and audience interaction. Growth tools simply ensure that content gets the opportunity to be seen.</p>
<p>In short: quality builds loyalty, visibility builds opportunity.</p>
<h2><strong>Agencies Need Predictable Results</strong></h2>
<p>Digital agencies face constant pressure from clients. Every month, growth metrics are reviewed. Engagement charts are analyzed. Performance reports are compared.</p>
<p>Unpredictable reach makes it difficult to guarantee outcomes.</p>
<p>This is why many agencies include structured engagement systems in their workflow. Platforms such as <strong>TNT SMM</strong> are often mentioned in agency discussions as part of scalable growth management strategies.</p>
<p>The idea is not artificial numbers. It is campaign stability.</p>
<p>When visibility is supported, marketing teams can focus more on strategy and less on uncertainty.</p>
<h2><strong>The Definition of “Best” Is Changing</strong></h2>
<p>In earlier years, the phrase <strong>best smm panel</strong> often meant cheapest provider. That perception has changed.</p>
<p>Now, “best” means:</p>
<ul>
<li>Secure delivery</li>
<li>Controlled speed</li>
<li>Platform diversity</li>
<li>Strong backend system</li>
<li>Transparent dashboard</li>
<li>Reliable customer support</li>
</ul>
<p>Quality matters more than cost alone.</p>
<p>Businesses that evaluate carefully tend to experience smoother growth. Those who focus only on low pricing often face inconsistency.</p>
<p>The industry is moving toward professional standards.</p>
<h2><strong>The Future of Social Media Growth</strong></h2>
<p>Looking ahead, experts expect competition to increase even further. More brands are entering digital markets every year.</p>
<p>Algorithms will continue evolving. Platforms will prioritize engagement authenticity. Performance data will become even more important.</p>
<p>Structured systems will likely become standard tools in digital marketing departments.</p>
<p>A well-managed <strong>smm panel</strong> will function like advertising software — part of the daily operational toolkit.</p>
<p>Brands that combine:</p>
<ul>
<li>Creative storytelling</li>
<li>Paid advertising</li>
<li>Influencer partnerships</li>
<li>Structured engagement systems</li>
</ul>
<p>will maintain stronger market positioning.</p>
<h2><strong>Strategic Use Is the Key</strong></h2>
<p>It is important to understand that sustainability matters.</p>
<p>Overuse or unrealistic spikes can damage credibility. The smartest businesses use engagement support strategically during important campaigns rather than randomly.</p>
<p>When managed correctly, a professional system like <strong>TNT SMM</strong> supports balanced growth that aligns with overall marketing plans.</p>
<p>This measured approach separates professional marketers from amateurs.</p>
<h2><strong>Final Thoughts</strong></h2>
<p>Social media in 2026 is highly competitive and deeply algorithm-driven. Visibility is no longer automatic. It must be planned.</p>
<p>Choosing the <a href="https://tntsmm.in/best-smm-panel" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>best smm panel</strong></a> requires careful evaluation of reliability, control, and long-term performance stability.</p>
<p>As digital marketing continues to evolve, platforms such as <strong>TNT SMM</strong> reflect a broader shift toward smarter, system-driven growth strategies. <strong>Tntsmm.in is best SMM panel</strong> for businesses looking to scale engagement efficiently.</p>
<p>Brands adapting to this model are not just chasing numbers; they are building sustainable visibility systems designed to compete in an increasingly crowded online world.</p>

        <title>Building Long&amp;Term Wealth Through Smart Real Estate Choices</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/building-long-term-wealth-through-smart-real-estate-choices</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/building-long-term-wealth-through-smart-real-estate-choices</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-18.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], March 09: </strong>In today’s property market, I see many buyers entering with the wrong expectations. Social media, aggressive promotions, and market rumours often create the impression that real estate is about quick profits. In my experience, that mindset usually leads to disappointment.</p>
<p>For me, real estate has never been about flipping properties for short-term gains. It has always been about building long-term wealth through structured and informed decisions. At Team Aman Chawla, our approach is simple — strategy first, transaction second.</p>
<h2><strong>Property Is a Long-Term Game</strong></h2>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-70964" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-1-13.jpg" alt="Building Long-Term Wealth Through Smart Real Estate Choices-PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p>Real estate does not reward impatience. Markets move in cycles. There are growth phases, consolidation periods, and corrections. If someone enters the market expecting immediate returns, they are reacting to noise, not fundamentals.</p>
<p>When I advise clients, I encourage them to look at a five-to-ten-year horizon. Infrastructure development, commercial expansion, and population growth take time. But when these factors align, appreciation follows naturally. Long-term wealth is built by holding quality assets, not by constantly chasing the next opportunity.</p>
<h2><strong>The Difference Between Buying and Investing</strong></h2>
<p>Many people believe that purchasing property automatically makes them investors. I disagree. Buying is easy. Investing requires analysis.</p>
<p>Before recommending any property — whether residential, commercial, or plotted development — I ask practical questions:</p>
<p>● Is the location supported by genuine infrastructure growth?<br>
● Does the developer have a strong delivery record?<br>
● Is there consistent rental demand in the area?<br>
● How liquid will this asset be in the future?</p>
<p>These questions may not sound exciting, but they protect capital. Emotional buying, driven by marketing pressure, often leads to poor outcomes. I believe clarity should always come before commitment.</p>
<h2><strong>Rental Income Strengthens Stability</strong></h2>
<p>Capital appreciation is important, but rental income plays an equally powerful role in long-term wealth creation. A property that generates stable income allows investors to hold confidently during slower market phases.</p>
<p>When clients are not financially pressured, they make better long-term decisions. Over time, rental growth combined with appreciation creates a compounding effect that significantly strengthens overall returns.</p>
<p>This is why I often advise investors to evaluate not just the purchase price, but also income potential and holding capacity.</p>
<h2><strong>Infrastructure Is a True Growth Driver</strong></h2>
<p>In my experience, the strongest appreciation happens in areas backed by real development — highways, metro connectivity, commercial hubs, educational institutions, and business corridors.</p>
<p>Speculation fades quickly. Infrastructure remains.</p>
<p>At Team Aman Chawla, we spend considerable time analysing growth corridors and emerging micro-markets. I prefer guiding clients towards areas with measurable structural progress rather than locations driven by temporary hype.</p>
<p>We do not predict sudden spikes. We look for sustainable momentum.</p>
<h2><strong>Avoiding Emotion-Based Decisions</strong></h2>
<p>One of the biggest risks in property investment is urgency. “Last few units,” “price revision tomorrow,” and similar messages often push buyers into rushed decisions.</p>
<p>I encourage clients to slow down. Real estate involves significant capital and long-term commitment. A decision made under pressure rarely aligns with long-term financial goals.</p>
<p>It is equally important not to become emotionally attached to a brand name. If two projects are launching in the same location, the stronger brand is not automatically the better investment. Long-term value depends on fundamentals, location growth, pricing, supply dynamics, and future infrastructure, not just reputation.</p>
<p>Our advisory process is designed to bring clarity. We compare options, evaluate risks, and align investments with the client’s financial profile. Our objective is not to close quickly; it is to ensure the decision stands strong years later.</p>
<p>In addition to client advisory, I also document ongoing market shifts, infrastructure developments, and project analysis through structured video explainers on <strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/team_aman_chawla/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Instagram</a> (@teamamanchawla)</strong>, along with regular detailed insights on<strong> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/teamamanchawla" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">YouTube</a> (@teamamanchawla)</strong>, helping individuals and families make more informed property decisions over time.</p>
<h2><strong>Diversification Within Real Estate</strong></h2>
<p>Over the years, I have worked with first-time buyers, experienced investors, and commercial clients. One principle remains consistent — diversification strengthens portfolios.</p>
<p>Residential properties may provide stability.<br>
Commercial assets may offer stronger rental yields.<br>
Plotted developments can deliver long-term capital appreciation.</p>
<p>There is no single formula that works for everyone. Each strategy must align with individual financial objectives, risk appetite, and liquidity planning.</p>
<h2><strong>Real Estate as a Foundation for Generational Wealth</strong></h2>
<p>Unlike many volatile investment instruments, property is tangible. It provides security, leverage, and long-term value. It can be lived in, leased, or passed on.</p>
<p>However, not every property builds wealth. Only the right property — selected carefully, purchased responsibly, and held patiently — has that potential.</p>
<p>I believe real estate should strengthen financial security year after year. It should not create stress or uncertainty.</p>
<h2><strong>Discipline Creates Results</strong></h2>
<p>The market will always have noise. New launches will come and go. Price predictions will rise and fall. What remains constant is the value of discipline.</p>
<p>Long-term wealth through real estate is built through research, patience, and responsible advisory. It is not dramatic. It is structured.</p>
<p>At Team Aman Chawla, our focus remains on guiding clients towards property decisions that create stability, not speculation. In a market that often prioritises speed, I prioritise sustainability because real wealth is not built overnight. It is built thoughtfully, strategically, and with a long-term vision.</p>

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], March 09</strong>: Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar Mahila Samman 2026 powered by Kamala Power Women is an initiative by Mrs. Nidarshana Gowani to highlight and appreciate women of our society who have broken barriers and made a change, despite any strong backing and established their own identities. 5 years ago, these awards were started to honour women from different walks of life, including women from three tier regions, economically weak as well as some specially-abled. A legacy  of an esteemed and prestigious award that Kamala Power Women has created, this year on the 10th of March, the awards would be held in New Delhi.</p>
<p>This 5th installment of Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar Mahila Samman will witness a wide bench of Chief Guests including: Shri.

<p>Speaking about the initiative and the awards, Nidarshana Gowani said, “Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar Mahila Samman is a platform standing on the teaching and values of Smt. Ahilyabai Holkar. We keep a passion to follow her footprints. The women that we honour on our platform come from different groups and different states of India. Who have carved a niche from their talents and created employment for themselves and others; generating financial support for many families. Women who come from a background that is very humble and far away from all the glitter and glamour. They are a core of a country and play a strong role in making India a stronger nation. This year too, we have a varied portfolio, who truly deserve a stage and recognition. I feel fortunate and blessed to have gotten this opportunity to serve my country with this little initiative that we started 5 years ago. I’m thankful to everyone who has supported me and helped in growing this initiative.”</p>
<p>With a vision to bring a change and build recognition for the ones who deserve it, Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar Mahila Samman is not just any regular Women’s Day award, but stick to a higher cause. They have received a global appreciation for their efforts and it would be interesting to see what new stories they would bring to us this year.(SGP)</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-07-03-26-1-5.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt=""></p><p dir="ltr"><strong>New Delhi [India], March 07: </strong>A harsh reality check just slammed the institutional crypto sector, violently interrupting a highly celebrated streak of capital inflows. According to data from SoSoValue, spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the United States suffered a staggering $228 million in net outflows on March 5th alone.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But as money flows out of Bitcoin ETFs, many investors are positioning themselves in crypto presales that offer high value. That’s why the search for the best crypto presale is massive, and it is leading many back to <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presale-2026-spot-bitcoin-etf-outflows-dogeball-nexchain-deepsnitch-march-31-launch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI.</a> It is an AI presale project that has raised more than $1.9 million and is aiming for a massive launch within March.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Spot Bitcoin ETFs bleed $228 million</h2>
<p dir="ltr">This massive capital flight ended a three-day accumulation streak that had previously netted roughly $1.1 billion. Moreover, this dragged the price of the world’s largest digital asset below the critical $71,000 threshold.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Leading this institutional retreat was BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT), which saw an outflow of $89 million in a single session. Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) and the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) followed closely behind, shedding $48 million and $46 million, respectively.</p>
<p dir="ltr">While total assets under management stubbornly remain above the $90 billion mark, the year-to-date net outflows have increased to approximately $900 million.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">The best crypto presale for 100x gains and above</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Discover why DeepSnitch AI has a good chance among other projects as the best crypto presale for 100x gains.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI ($DSNT): Is now the best time to join before the March 31st launch?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The sudden, multi-million-dollar exodus from institutional ETFs is an example of the informational disadvantage that the average crypto user faces. But there’s good news as DeepSnitch AI has built a platform that solves this problem.</p>
<p dir="ltr">When Wall Street decides to sell, retail investors are typically the last to know, absorbing the full impact of the resulting price crash.</p>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI was meticulously built to remove this predatory dynamic. So, it makes all the tools needed by the average investor to stay ahead in the market available. The ecosystem is fully live, offering AI agents like SnitchFeed, SnitchScan, AuditSnitch, and SnitchGPT in a neat interface.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With these new features, investors can scan for vulnerabilities and also find opportunities that make them remain profitable in the market.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But DeepSnitch AI is more than just providing an intelligence and security layer for the average investor. It also gives them the opportunity to earn massive profits through its ongoing presale.</p>
<p dir="ltr">More than $1.9 million has been raised, and the <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presale-2026-spot-bitcoin-etf-outflows-dogeball-nexchain-deepsnitch-march-31-launch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DSNT token</a> has increased by more than 185% from the opening price of $0.0151. The launch is approaching faster than expected, and this could be the only chance to join the best crypto presale in 2026.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://youtu.be/sakLNY5D5MQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/sakLNY5D5MQ</a></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Dogeball Token: Gaming x Layer 2</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Dogeball Token is an example of a gamified ecosystem that is also within its presale phase. But this doesn’t necessarily mean that it is among the high potential crypto presales. This one is built within an Ethereum Layer 2 environment, and it tries to merge the viral appeal of meme culture with a play-to-earn sports gaming structure.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The underlying blockchain infrastructure promises low transaction fees and interactive reward systems. Any reward players earn within the ecosystem will be directly tethered to in-game achievements and collectible non-fungible tokens. Despite all these, when gamer attention inevitably shifts to a newer, shinier release, the internal reward system collapses.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">NexChain: One of the early investor crypto deals to consider</h3>
<p dir="ltr">NexChain claims that it is building an interoperability solution across multiple fragmented blockchains. More details show that the native token is housed on Ethereum. But the platform aims to function as a universal cross-chain bridge. It will do this by creating secure asset transfers and complex data communication between massive ecosystems like the BNB Chain and the Ethereum mainnet.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Nevertheless, NexChain is entering one of the most dangerous and saturated sectors in the crypto sector. Investors looking for secure, reliable growth are far better served by directing their capital into hyper-lucrative security protocols that actively prevent exploits, like DeepSnitch AI.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Final verdict</h2>
<p dir="ltr">For the best crypto presale in 2026, investors are better off joining presales like DeepSnitch AI. Unlike many that promise numerous roadmaps without building anything, DeepSnitch AI is fully alive with a massive launch hype building.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Use the DSNTVIP50 bonus code to get 50% extra tokens on your purchases. Remember the launch is expected to be on the 31st March, so there’s not much time left.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">What are the benefits of identifying the best crypto presale?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Identifying the best crypto presale allows retail traders to secure their capital within an insulated, early-stage infrastructure.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">What defines the most reliable high potential crypto presales?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The most reliable high potential crypto presales are characterized by transparent fundraising metrics and a fully operational technological utility prior to launch.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Why is autonomous blockchain intelligence the primary type of crypto gaining investor attention?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Autonomous blockchain intelligence is the main type of crypto gaining investor attention because everyday retail traders desperately need enterprise-grade tools to track whale wallets and avoid market manipulation.</p>

        <title>The Reality of Studying Abroad: Challenges and Smart Solutions</title>

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/the-reality-of-studying-abroad-challenges-and-smart-solutions</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-17.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt=""></p><div class="col-12 col-lg-12 col-xl-12 ">
<div class="row"><span><strong>New Delhi [India], March 09:</strong> </span>Studying abroad offers students a unique chance to immerse themselves in new cultures, gain global exposure, and develop essential life skills. Yet, this trans-formative experience often comes with unforeseen hurdles before, during, and after the journey. By recognizing these challenges and preparing strategically, students can turn potential obstacles into opportunities for growth.</div>
</div>
<div class="col-12 col-lg-12 col-xl-12 ">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12 col-sm-7 col-lg-7">
<p>At <a href="https://www.edumasters.in/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Edu Masters</a>, we believe that proper preparation helps students confidently navigate these challenges and make the most of their global education journey.</p>
<p><strong>Preparing Before You Travel</strong></p>
<p>Thorough preparation extends far beyond securing admission. Start with practical essentials: obtain a valid passport, apply for the appropriate student visa early, and research the host country’s customs, traditions, and social norms. For instance, in Japan, bowing is a common greeting, while in the Middle East, modest dress may be expected in public spaces. Consider how your cultural background, gender, religion, or personal identity might influence interactions. Review local laws on topics like alcohol consumption or public behavior to avoid issues.</p>
<p>Academic and financial planning are crucial. Consult resources like <a href="https://www.edumasters.in/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Edu Masters</a> to confirm that credits earned abroad transfer to your home institution. Budget carefully for tuition, housing, food, and transportation. University cost calculators can provide realistic estimates.</p>
<p>Health and safety preparations include verifying insurance coverage. Many programs offer basic plans, but supplement with comprehensive travel insurance for emergencies. Check regulations on medications through resources like the destination country’s embassy website. Mentally, set realistic expectations: read accounts from past students on forums like Reddit’s studyAbroad to anticipate homesickness or isolation.</p>
<p><strong>Adjusting While Living Abroad</strong></p>
<p>Arrival often brings an initial thrill, quickly tempered by culture shock. Language barriers, unfamiliar foods, differing academic expectations (for example, more independent learning in the U.S. versus lecture-based systems elsewhere), and social norms can overwhelm. Combat this by pacing yourself. Spend the first weeks observing rather than over-committing to travel or events.</p>
<p>Integration accelerates adaptation. Join university clubs, attend local festivals, or volunteer to build friendships with host-country peers. For example, in the UK, pub quizzes offer casual ways to connect. Combat homesickness, which affects up to 70% of international students per studies from the Journal of International Students, by establishing routines: exercise daily, journal gratitude, personalize your dorm with photos, or schedule video calls home.</p>
<p>Most universities provide free counseling, peer mentoring, or international student offices. Use them proactively for academic or emotional support. Budgeting apps like Mint can help manage finances amid rising costs.</p>

<p><strong>Returning Home and Reverse Culture Shock</strong></p>
<p>Reverse culture shock surprises many. After adapting to new norms, everyday life at home can feel alienating. Friends may not grasp your stories, or you might miss abroad conveniences like efficient public transit. Symptoms include frustration, boredom, or disconnection, lasting weeks to months.</p>
<p>Ease the transition by staying linked: join alumni networks or apps like InterNations for global meetups. Apply your skills. Pursue internships highlighting international experience or lead campus diversity events. Journaling pre-return goals helps process changes.</p>
<p><strong>Turning Challenges into Growth</strong></p>
<p>Ultimately, studying abroad fosters resilience, independence, and cultural competence. Challenges like navigating bureaucracy or solitude build adaptability valued by employers. <a href="https://www.edumasters.in/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Edu Masters</a> notes that international experience boosts job prospects by 20%, per LinkedIn reports. With foresight, students emerge more confident global citizens.</p>
<p>Preparation transforms hurdles into stepping stones. Research thoroughly, seek support networks, and embrace flexibility for a rewarding journey.</p>

        <title>Honey Hive Patisserie a ISO 9001:2015 Certified Academy and Home based Patissier and Chocolatier that encourage teenagers in the baking world</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/honey-hive-patisserie-a-iso-90012015-certified-academy-and-home-based-patissier-and-chocolatier-that-encourage-teenagers-in-the-baking-world</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/honey-hive-patisserie-a-iso-90012015-certified-academy-and-home-based-patissier-and-chocolatier-that-encourage-teenagers-in-the-baking-world</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p>Sudita Pal is a young female entrepreneur, a talented Bengali patissier, and a passionate chocolatier known for bringing creativity and elegance to the world of cakes and chocolates. With her unique flavour combinations, artistic presentation, and luxury chocolate creations, she has gradually built a distinctive identity in the modern baking industry.</p>
<p>Born and raised in a middle-class family in Kolkata, Sudita completed her BBA and MBA from a reputed college in the city. She began her professional journey working in a private commercial bank and later in an apparel company. However, her true passion always remained in the art of chocolate and cake making.</p>
<p>Her journey into baking started at a very young age. At just 18 years old, Sudita began her home baking venture and started teaching chocolate making and cake baking to young girls around Kolkata through her Facebook platform in 2018. What began as a small initiative soon grew into a meaningful mission — sharing knowledge and inspiring others to explore the creative world of baking.<br>
Sudita specializes in crafting a wide variety of customized chocolates, including premium Swiss chocolates. She is also known for creating unique chocolate mithai collections such as Rajbhog, Rasmalai, Rabri Malai, Mawa, Pan Mukwas, and Black Forest inspired chocolates. Alongside chocolates, she also bakes customized cakes like Fruit Cake, Dry Cake, Marble Cake, Butter Cake and many more, blending traditional flavours with modern presentation.</p>
<p>In 2025, Sudita founded Honey Hive Patisserie, an MSME Certified and ISO 9001:2015 Certified academy and home-based patisserie initiative. Through this platform, she aims to encourage aspiring bakers—especially young women—to see the baking industry from a fresh and creative perspective.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-6297" src="https://network.rvrising.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/secondary-300x283.jpeg" alt="" width="331" height="312" srcset="https://network.rvrising.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/secondary-300x283.jpeg 300w, https://network.rvrising.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/secondary-1024x967.jpeg 1024w, https://network.rvrising.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/secondary-768x725.jpeg 768w, https://network.rvrising.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/secondary-rotated.jpeg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 331px) 100vw, 331px"></p>
<p>Honey Hive Patisserie welcomes learners from diverse age groups, from curious teenagers to enthusiastic senior citizens who wish to explore baking even with little prior knowledge. The academy regularly conducts live webinars, both free and paid, where Sudita personally teaches baking and chocolate making techniques while interacting with students and clearing their doubts.</p>
<p>In addition to live sessions, the platform also offers self-learning programs through structured courses available in live and recorded formats, allowing learners to study at their own pace.</p>
<p>Within a short span of time, Honey Hive Patisserie has achieved a significant milestone by training more than 150 students in just four months. With a vision to spread advanced knowledge of innovative designs and creative flavours—especially in chocolates—the academy is expanding rapidly and aims to train over 5000 aspiring bakers in the next five years.</p>
<p>Through her journey, Sudita Pal continues to inspire many by proving that passion, creativity, and determination can transform a simple dream into a meaningful entrepreneurial path.</p> ]]></description>

        <title>“Home Recording Isn’t Enough”: Why RV Rising Podcast Studio is the Secret to Viral Podcast Success</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/home-recording-isnt-enough-why-rv-rising-podcast-studio-is-the-secret-to-viral-podcast-success</link>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p>Mumbai has always been the heart of media in India. Films, radio shows and television programs have been created here for decades. But now a new trend is rising fast which is Podcasting. Young influencers, students and even business owners are asking the same question online. “How to start my own podcast?” Digital creators want their voice to reach more people. Some talk about business. Some share life stories. Others invite guests and discuss trending topics. Because of this trend, the demand for a podcast studio Mumbai is growing quickly. Many creators say recording from home is not enough anymore.</p>
<p>If someone searches for media workspaces in Mumbai, one area appears again and again which is Andheri and this part of the city has been linked with the entertainment industry for many years. Film studios, editing houses and production offices are already present here. Because of this history, many content creators prefer Andheri podcast studios. Travel is easy for actors and influencers who already work nearby. Among these spaces, <a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/109bOsKKdBnbYuIxS30xa24PPswq-5hud?usp=sharing">RV Rising Studio</a> Mumbai is slowly getting attention. The studio is run by <a href="http://www.rvrising.com/">RV Rising Pvt Ltd</a>. Creators say it is designed specially for podcast recording and video content.</p>
<p>People who visited the <a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/109bOsKKdBnbYuIxS30xa24PPswq-5hud?usp=sharing">RV Rising Podcast Studio</a> Andheri often share similar feedback. They say the space feels professional but comfortable. Cameras, microphones and lights are already installed. Creators simply walk in and start their conversation. Soundproof rooms are one of the main features. Outside sounds like traffic, horns or street noise do not disturb the recording. High quality microphones capture clear voices. Cameras allow video podcasts which can later be uploaded on YouTube or Instagram clips. Some visitors say the technical team also checks equipment before recording begins.</p>
<p>Many beginners start their podcast journey from home. It looks simple at first. But problems appear quickly. Ceiling fan noise enters the audio. Neighbours talking can be heard. Even traffic sounds become part of the recording. Later editing becomes difficult. Hours are spent fixing sound problems. Even after editing, the audio may still feel weak. Some podcast listeners online say they stop listening if sound quality is poor. Because of this reason, creators now search for professional podcast recording studio Mumbai. They want their content to sound serious and clean.</p>
<p>The podcast industry in India is growing faster than many expected. Experts say it is connected to India’s long history of audio storytelling. Radio shows were loved for generations. Programs on All India Radio entertained families for many decades. Today podcasts are the digital version of that tradition. The difference is freedom. Anyone can start a show now. Topics range from education to comedy. Some creators talk about business tips. Others invite celebrities for conversation. Recording at <a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/109bOsKKdBnbYuIxS30xa24PPswq-5hud?usp=sharing">RV Rising Studio Mumbai</a> feels professional as audio becomes very clear and editing becomes easy. Weekend slots in many podcast studios in Andheri are also filling fast. Some creators even suggest booking early. So the big question many new creators are asking now is simple. Should they continue searching “best podcast studio Mumbai” online? Or should they step inside a space like <a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/109bOsKKdBnbYuIxS30xa24PPswq-5hud?usp=sharing">RV Rising Podcast Studio</a> Andheri and record their very first episode?</p>

<p>In today’s evolving world, women leaders are not only breaking barriers but also building institutions that shape the future of healthcare and society.

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-09-03-26-3.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt=""></p><p><strong>Bhubaneswar (Odisha) [India], March 09: </strong>Vedanta Aluminium, India’s largest producer of aluminium, under its community livelihood programme, has<strong> successfully implemented the first mushroom cultivation cycle</strong> in Dumerpadar and Porlong villages of Sunger Gram Panchayat, Kashipur block, Rayagada district.</p>
<p>As part of the initiative, <strong>70 women beneficiaries</strong> received structured training in scientific mushroom cultivation, covering bed preparation, hygiene practices, and maintaining optimal growing conditions. Each participant was provided two mushroom beds to begin cultivation. The cycle progressed smoothly from germination to harvest, with early results indicating a yield of 1–1.2 kg per bed per cycle, validating mushroom farming as a low investment, high return enterprise. With an input cost of ₹25 per bed and an average selling price of ₹150 per kg, this initiative has substantial income potential. On average, each beneficiary is expected to produce nearly 2 kg per cycle, creating a viable supplementary income source for their households.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-102775 aligncenter" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-09-03-26-1-1.jpg" alt="Vedanta Aluminium" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p>Implemented as a pilot initiative, the programme has demonstrated potential for enhancing women’s economic participation, fostering microenterprise skill development, and improving income resilience. Out of the 140 beds distributed, nearly 100 beds are currently in active production. Vedanta Aluminium plans to <strong>scale the initiative to 10,000 beds and as many spawn packets within a year</strong>, backed by continuous handholding support, timely input supply, spawn distribution, and market linkage facilitation.</p>
<p><strong>Jasoda Naik, a beneficiary from Dumerpadar village, said, </strong><em>“Through this initiative, we have learned scientific mushroom cultivation and can have additional income from our homes.</em> <em>This is helping us support our families and has given us the confidence to work together and grow as entrepreneurs.”</em></p>
<p><strong>Hiramani Naik, a beneficiary from Porlong village, said, </strong><em>“We learned how to prepare the beds, maintain hygiene, and take care of the mushrooms during the growing process. With this guidance, many women in our village are now able to manage the cultivation at home and take part in this livelihood activity together.”</em></p>
<p>Over the years, Vedanta Aluminium has supported and empowered more than <strong>16,000 women across its operational vicinity in Odisha and Chhattisgarh</strong>, enabling them to strengthen their household incomes and enhance their socioeconomic resilience. A major pillar of this impact has been <strong>skilling</strong>, which equips women in local communities with practical abilities, market-ready knowledge, and the confidence to become financially independent. By expanding structured livelihood models such as mushroom cultivation, the company continues to create pathways for women to participate meaningfully in economic growth.</p>

The initiative aims to improve menstrual hygiene while creating sustainable livelihood opportunities for tribal women in rural communities.</p>
<p>Menstrual hygiene continues to remain a major challenge in several villages of Kaprada Taluka. Limited awareness, social stigma, and lack of access to affordable sanitary products often force women and adolescent girls to rely on unhygienic alternatives. Such practices can lead to health complications and also contribute to school absenteeism among adolescent girls.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-102755 aligncenter" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-09-03-26-1.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p>To address these challenges, the project has established a local sanitary napkin manufacturing unit operated by women from Self Help Groups (SHGs). Around 15 women have been trained, out of which 10 women are directly engaged in production and management of the unit, creating a sustainable source of income and empowering them economically.</p>
<p>The unit is expected to produce approximately 10,000 to 15,000 sanitary pads every month, which will initially be distributed through schools and community networks. Along with production, the initiative will also conduct menstrual hygiene awareness sessions for adolescent girls and women in nearby villages, helping break stigma and encouraging safe health practices.</p>
<p>The project also aims to develop a locally produced sanitary pad brand, ensuring long-term sustainability while strengthening women-led entrepreneurship in the region. The initiative represents a model “by women, for women,” ensuring that the value and benefits generated remain within the community.</p>
<p>Through this initiative, BookForChange Foundation, with the support of Resonia Limited, seeks to promote women’s health, dignity, and economic empowerment, while building a sustainable and community-driven model for menstrual hygiene management in rural areas.</p>
<p>Resonia Limited is developing a 258-km, 765 kV double-circuit transmission line connecting South Olpad (GIS) to Boisar-II (GIS), strengthening India’s national power grid. The project plays a significant role in contributing to the country’s goal of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel energy capacity by 2030. Alongside this critical infrastructure development, the company continues to implement community engagement programs that support rural livelihoods and social well-being.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/priyanka-gulati/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>6. Priyanka Gulati</strong></a></p>
<p>Priyanka Gulati highlights how women are often appointed to leadership roles or given critical projects when the situation is already fragile: declining performance, internal politics, shifting sponsors, or unclear mandates. They are expected to fix complex problems with limited support. And when things don’t turn around quickly enough, they are often the ones blamed.</p>
<p>Take the example of Jacinda Ardern. She led her country through terror attacks, a pandemic, and global economic stress. Initially praised for her leadership, over time empathy was reframed as softness and decisiveness as exhaustion. Eventually, she stepped away before the cycle of criticism could harden.</p>
<p>But this phenomenon doesn’t happen only at the top. It plays out every day within organisations. A woman leader may be asked to “steady the ship,” but the ship often comes with unclear ownership, shifting sponsors, inherited decisions, and limited authority. She absorbs the chaos quietly, tries to collaborate, and keeps things moving—until silence is mistaken for consent, softness for weakness, and responsibility becomes confused with blame.</p>
<p>If you have faced the glass cliff, DM. Priyanka Gulati, through FICCI FLO, is working to spark conversations and find ways to confront and overcome this challenge together.</p>
<p><strong>7. </strong><a href="https://drroopakshipathania.whitecoats.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Dr. Roopakshi Pathania</strong></a><strong>, Consultant Neurologist at Vivekanand Medical Institute, Palampur, Himachal Pradesh</strong></p>
<p>International Women’s Day celebrates the remarkable contributions of women who are advancing science, healthcare, and leadership across the world. In the field of neurology—one of the most complex and rapidly evolving branches of medicine—women physicians are playing an increasingly vital role in improving patient outcomes and advancing neurological awareness.</p>
<p>Dr. Roopakshi Pathania, Consultant Neurologist at Vivekanand Medical Institute, Palampur, represents this new generation of dedicated women leaders in neuroscience. Her work focuses on the timely diagnosis and management of neurological disorders such as stroke, epilepsy, movement disorders, neuropathies, and migraines. Through a patient-centered and evidence-based approach, she emphasizes early detection, accurate diagnosis, and long-term neurological care for patients.</p>
<p>Neurological diseases often have life-altering consequences, making compassionate care and clinical precision essential. Physicians like Dr. Pathania not only treat illness but also educate communities about neurological health and prevention. On International Women’s Day 2026, her work reflects how women in medicine continue to shape the future of neurological care through expertise, leadership, dedication, and a commitment to improving lives.</p>

<p>Tulika Pant Karnatak: Restoring Women’s Confidence Through science backed Ayurvedic Skincare</p>
<p>Tulika Pant, Co-Founder of Pokonut, is on a mission to change how women look at skincare from chasing cosmetic perfection to embracing healing and confidence. In an industry often driven by beauty standards, Pokonut focuses on real skin concerns that women quietly struggle with, from stretch marks and dark patches to postpartum skin changes.</p>
<p>The brand is built on the philosophy of science-backed Ayurveda, combining time-tested botanical ingredients with modern dermatological research to create formulations that focus on healing rather than masking skin concerns. This approach reflects Pokonut’s core belief: “We Heal What You Hide.”</p>
<p>For Tulika, Pokonut is not just about skincare products, but about creating a movement that normalizes real skin stories and restores confidence in one’s natural skin.</p>
<p>Today, a growing community of women across India resonates with this vision, supporting the brand not just as customers, but as believers in its mission of “Healthy Skin, Healthy You”.</p>

<p>Technology is evolving faster than ever, and Artificial Intelligence is at the heart of this transformation. As a woman leader in the technology industry, I strongly believe that the future will belong to those who combine innovation with purpose.</p>
<p><strong>Seema Bhatnagar, Founder & Managing Director of Futopia Global Private Limited</strong>, believes that AI is no longer limited to laboratories or complex software systems—it is becoming a part of our everyday lives. From smart devices to wearable technology, AI is empowering people to work smarter, communicate better, and experience the world differently.</p>
<p>At Futopia Global, we are embracing this shift by bringing AI closer to consumers through innovative products. Our <strong>AIVIS AI Smart Glasses on Amazon</strong> and <strong>Novita AI Glasses on Flipkart</strong> represent a step towards wearable intelligence—technology that enhances how we see, capture, and interact with the world around us. Soon, we will extend this vision further with the launch of AI-powered All-in-One PCs and laptops, designed to make intelligent computing more accessible.</p>
<p>For Seema Bhatnagar, innovation is not just about launching new products; it is about enabling people to experience technology in meaningful ways. Women leaders today are not only participating in the technology revolution—they are actively shaping it with creativity, resilience, and vision.</p>
<p>This International Women’s Day, <strong>Seema Bhatnagar celebrates every woman who dares to innovate, challenge boundaries, and build the future with confidence.</strong></p>

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/isic-india-partners-npci-and-pine-labs-to-unveil-5-in-1-international-student-identity-card-16403</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-07-03-26-2.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Pine Labs"></p><p><span><strong>Gurugram (Haryana) [India], March 07:</strong> </span>ISIC India today announced a breakthrough 5-in-1 International Student Identity Card (ISIC) on RuPay network that unifies: official campus identity, ISIC discounts, RFID campus access, National Common Mobility Card (NCMC) for public transport, and an INR prepaid payment capability—on a single secure card. Similar 5-in-1 variants will be offered for youth through International Travel Youth Card (IYTC) and for teachers via International Teacher identity Card (ITIC).</p>
<p>“For seven decades, ISIC has stood for trusted, verifiable student identity that travels across borders. By bringing ISIC onto RuPay with NCMC and prepaid on one secure card, we’re giving students, youth and teachers in India a single credential for campus, commerce and daily mobility—powered by world-class Indian payments infrastructure.” — Matthew John East, Board Director, ISIC Association, and CEO, GTS ALIVE Group</p>
<p>This launch follows ISIC India’s agreement with National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) to issue onANI+BS-NW RuPay, India’s #1 domestic card network. ISIC has also launched ISIC/IYTC/ITIC as NCMC-enabled on RuPay with Pine Labs, enabling tap-and-pay transit where NCMC is live, alongside everyday prepaid purchases at merchants nationwide.</p>
<p>“With ISIC available on RuPay, students in India can move from transactions in campus to offline and online checkout at merchant establishments to NCMC-enabled metros and buses—exactly how a student’s life should work in the modern era.” — Navin Chandani, President- Issuing Business, Pine Labs.</p>
<p><strong>Why ISIC stands apart</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>72-year legacy: Established in 1953, ISIC is the world’s only internationally accepted student ID operated by the non-profit ISIC Association.</li>
<li>Trusted at scale: 100+ million students, teachers, and youth have relied on ISIC over time.</li>
<li>Institutional proof: 6,000+ academic institutions—including some of the world’s most prestigiousuniversities—have issued ISIC as the official campus ID.\</li>
<li>Near-universal national penetration examples: In the Czech Republic, all 34 universities issue ISIC as the official student identity, reflecting near-100% penetration.</li>
</ul>
<p>Global recognition: Endorsed by UNESCO since 1968 with 150+ additional endorsements from ministries, universities, and public bodies worldwide.<br>
Worldwide utility: Access to 1,50,000+ discounts and perks across 100+ countries.</p>
<p>What the 5-in-1 ISIC does</p>
<ul>
<li>Official Campus Identity: Physical ID issued by your college/university; optional RFID for buildings, libraries, labs, hostels.</li>
<li>ISIC Global Benefits: Unlock 1,50,000+ offers in 100+ countries (travel, food, retail, culture).</li>
<li>RuPay Prepaid Payments: Pay at millions of merchants across India and online (acceptance per RuPay network).</li>
<li>NCMC Transit: Tap-and-pay on participating metros and buses as NCMC continues to roll out city by city.<br>
Accidental Insurance: Added protection.</li>
</ul>
<p>“This 5-in-1 ISIC on RuPay brings together what students actually need every day: a verified campus ID, global ISIC benefits, secure prepaid payments, and tap-and-pay transit via NCMC—plus RFID access to campus facilities. Backed by UNESCO’s long-standing endorsement of ISIC and our partnerships with NPCI and Pine Labs, we’re delivering a single card that reduces friction for institutions and saves time and money for students across India.” — Vaarun Sharma, Country Head, ISIC India</p>
<p><strong>Advancing national priorities</strong></p>
<p>ISIC on RuPay directly supports the Government of India’s policy goals on financial inclusion and digital transactions under Digital India, the JAM trinity (Jan Dhan–Aadhaar–Mobile), and the “One Nation, One Card” vision for public transport.</p>
<ul>
<li>RuPay Prepaid rails: EMV-compliant prepaid issuance on RuPay with offline/online merchant acceptance, wallet-style reloads, and compatibility with existing POS and e-commerce acquiring—delivering scale without UPI dependency.</li>
<li>Mobility for all (NCMC): NCMC on RuPay advances the indigenously developed, interoperable transit standard enabling seamless tap-and-pay across metros/buses and retail where live.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>For institutions: one card, less friction</strong></p>
<p>Universities and colleges can issue the ISIC 5-in-1 as the official student ID from Day 1, consolidating identity, access, payments and discounts—reducing operational complexity while elevating student experience.</p>
<p><strong>Initial rollout</strong></p>
<p>The ISIC, IYTC and ITIC 5-in-1 on RuPay will debut with a few Universities, with coverage expanding to key NCMC-enabled cities, as additional systems go live or upgrade under “One Nation, One Card.” (Transit acceptance is determined by each city’s NCMC readiness.)</p>
<p><strong><a name="_Hlk214616707"></a>About ISIC</strong></p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-07T121648.161-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Finance Commission -PNN" decoding="async"></p><p data-start="1082" data-end="1403"><strong>New Delhi [India], March 07</strong>: India’s fiscal framework is approaching another important reset. The <strong data-start="1151" data-end="1206">16th Finance Commission fiscal discipline framework</strong>, which will guide revenue sharing between the Centre and states from <strong data-start="1276" data-end="1292">2026 to 2031</strong>, could quietly push state governments toward stronger financial management and lower debt pressures over time.</p>
<p data-start="1405" data-end="1523">Analysts say the shift may not dominate headlines today, but its long-term economic implications could be significant.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="1iv714e" data-start="238" data-end="293"><strong data-start="242" data-end="293">The Significance of the 16th Finance Commission</strong></h3>
<p data-start="295" data-end="558">India reviews the formula for distributing tax revenue between the Union government and the states every five years. This process is carried out by the Finance Commission, a constitutional body that sits at the center of the country’s fiscal federalism framework.</p>
<p data-start="560" data-end="706">The 16th Finance Commission, chaired by economist Arvind Panagariya, will propose a revenue-sharing structure for the period <strong data-start="685" data-end="705">FY2026 to FY2031</strong>.</p>
<p data-start="708" data-end="907">The 15th Finance Commission had recommended that <strong data-start="757" data-end="797">41 percent of the divisible tax pool</strong> be transferred to the states. Since FY2021, that formula has played a central role in shaping state finances.</p>
<p data-start="909" data-end="990">However, the financial environment has evolved since that formula was introduced.</p>
<p data-start="992" data-end="1218">The pandemic forced states to increase borrowing, which led to higher debt levels. Fiscal assessments suggest that <strong data-start="1107" data-end="1197">state debt could stabilise around 29–30 percent of Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP)</strong> in the coming years.</p>
<p data-start="1220" data-end="1291">With fiscal space tightening, policy choices are becoming more complex.</p>
<p data-start="1293" data-end="1373">This context highlights the growing importance of maintaining fiscal discipline.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="1rul0jx" data-start="1380" data-end="1424"><strong data-start="1384" data-end="1424">The Fiscal Discipline Debate Returns</strong></h3>
<p data-start="1426" data-end="1517">Fiscal discipline may sound technical, but it sits at the foundation of economic stability.</p>
<p data-start="1519" data-end="1793">State governments fund infrastructure, welfare programs, public health systems, and administrative spending. A large portion of this financing is supported through borrowing. When borrowing rises faster than revenues, interest costs increase and fiscal flexibility declines.</p>
<p data-start="1795" data-end="1856">India’s fiscal framework already includes certain guardrails.</p>
<p data-start="1858" data-end="2086">Under current rules, states are generally allowed to maintain a <strong data-start="1922" data-end="1967">fiscal deficit of up to 3 percent of GSDP</strong>. In some years, an additional <strong data-start="1998" data-end="2035">0.5 percent borrowing flexibility</strong> is permitted if states undertake specific reforms.</p>
<p data-start="2088" data-end="2120">These limits exist for a reason.</p>
<p data-start="2122" data-end="2176">Without them, financial pressures could build quickly.</p>
<p data-start="2178" data-end="2373">A recent analysis by<a href="https://www.crisilratings.com/content/crisilratings/en/home/newsroom/press-releases/2026/03/16th-finance-commission-proposals-long-term-positive-for-states.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> CRISIL</a> suggests that the evolving framework under the <strong data-start="2253" data-end="2280">16th Finance Commission</strong> may strengthen these guardrails by creating stronger incentives for sound fiscal management.</p>
<p data-start="2375" data-end="2415">The logic is relatively straightforward.</p>
<p data-start="2417" data-end="2596">States that maintain disciplined fiscal policies typically face lower financial stress. Those that overspend often encounter higher borrowing costs and tighter fiscal constraints.</p>
<p data-start="2598" data-end="2669">Over time, such mechanisms encourage more sustainable fiscal behaviour.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="1ya3rrq" data-start="2676" data-end="2744"><strong data-start="2680" data-end="2744">CRISIL Insight: Why Discipline Can Strengthen State Finances</strong></h3>
<p data-start="2746" data-end="2916">CRISIL’s assessment highlights an important economic principle. Fiscal discipline tends to generate long-term benefits, even if short-term adjustments can be challenging.</p>
<p data-start="2918" data-end="3094">Lower fiscal deficits reduce the pace of debt accumulation. Reduced debt improves credit quality. Stronger credit profiles typically translate into more stable borrowing costs.</p>
<p data-start="3096" data-end="3146">For state governments, that stability is critical.</p>
<p data-start="3148" data-end="3352">Many development projects in India rely heavily on state funding. Roads, logistics parks, urban infrastructure, power distribution upgrades, and industrial corridors are largely driven at the state level.</p>
<p data-start="3354" data-end="3442">In fact, <strong data-start="3363" data-end="3441">states account for nearly 60 percent of India’s public capital expenditure</strong>.</p>
<p data-start="3444" data-end="3537">Their financial health, therefore, has direct implications for the country’s growth trajectory.</p>
<p data-start="3539" data-end="3683">When fiscal balances remain stable, governments retain the ability to fund long-term investments without crowding out other spending priorities.</p>
<p data-start="3685" data-end="3753">Fiscal stability also influences investor sentiment in bond markets.</p>
<p data-start="3755" data-end="3948">States raise funds through <strong data-start="3782" data-end="3816">State Development Loans (SDLs)</strong>. These bonds usually trade at a <strong data-start="3849" data-end="3913">40–80 basis point premium over central government securities</strong>, reflecting perceived credit risk.</p>
<p data-start="3950" data-end="4049">Improved fiscal discipline could gradually narrow this spread by strengthening investor confidence.</p>
<p data-start="4051" data-end="4130">While these mechanisms may appear technical, their economic impact is tangible.</p>
<p data-start="4132" data-end="4213">Lower borrowing costs ultimately free up more resources for development spending.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="b1r4vk" data-start="4220" data-end="4267"><strong data-start="4224" data-end="4267">Growth and Fiscal Prudence Must Coexist</strong></h3>
<p data-start="4269" data-end="4332">Economic expansion and fiscal discipline must operate together.</p>
<p data-start="4334" data-end="4497">Indian states face significant development demands. Urbanisation continues to accelerate. Infrastructure gaps remain wide. Social welfare programmes are expanding.</p>
<p data-start="4499" data-end="4604">Strict borrowing limits could potentially constrain important investments if applied without flexibility.</p>
<p data-start="4606" data-end="4707">The objective of the <strong data-start="4627" data-end="4654">16th Finance Commission</strong> is therefore unlikely to be simply tightening rules.</p>
<p data-start="4709" data-end="4799">Instead, the broader aim appears to be balancing fiscal prudence with developmental needs.</p>
<p data-start="4801" data-end="4969">According to CRISIL’s assessment, the commission may attempt to strike this balance by encouraging responsible fiscal behaviour rather than imposing rigid restrictions.</p>
<p data-start="4971" data-end="5113">In practical terms, this could push states to strengthen revenue mobilisation, improve expenditure efficiency, and manage debt more prudently.</p>
<p data-start="5115" data-end="5235">Such reforms would not necessarily reduce spending. Instead, they could make public finances more sustainable over time.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="12p3jv1" data-start="5242" data-end="5281"><strong data-start="5246" data-end="5281">Implications for State Finances</strong></h3>
<p data-start="5283" data-end="5410">If the new framework evolves along these lines, state governments may face stronger incentives to improve financial management.</p>
<p data-start="5412" data-end="5465">Several policy areas could receive greater attention.</p>
<p data-start="5467" data-end="5578">Revenue mobilisation may become a priority as states look to broaden their tax base and strengthen collections.</p>
<p data-start="5580" data-end="5719">Expenditure management could also come under scrutiny, particularly in areas where subsidies or administrative costs have expanded rapidly.</p>
<p data-start="5721" data-end="5823">States may also refine their borrowing strategies and adopt more structured debt management practices.</p>
<p data-start="5825" data-end="5912">These adjustments will not happen overnight. Fiscal behaviour rarely changes instantly.</p>
<p data-start="5914" data-end="6013">However, over time, even modest improvements in budget discipline can produce significant outcomes.</p>
<p data-start="6015" data-end="6156">Stronger balance sheets make it easier for states to finance infrastructure projects, attract investment, and support stable economic growth.</p>
<p data-start="6158" data-end="6292">That stability is especially important in a country where regional economic performance plays a decisive role in national development.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="g1cxnf" data-start="6299" data-end="6356"><strong data-start="6303" data-end="6356">A Structural Shift in India’s Fiscal Architecture</strong></h3>
<p data-start="6358" data-end="6431">India’s fiscal framework has gradually evolved over the past two decades.</p>
<p data-start="6433" data-end="6581">Earlier Finance Commissions focused heavily on reducing disparities between richer and poorer states. Redistribution remains an important objective.</p>
<p data-start="6583" data-end="6629">However, the policy conversation has expanded.</p>
<p data-start="6631" data-end="6755">Today, fiscal sustainability, transparency, and long-term debt management occupy a larger role in fiscal policy discussions.</p>
<p data-start="6757" data-end="6838">The evolving framework under the <strong data-start="6790" data-end="6817">16th Finance Commission</strong> reflects this shift.</p>
<p data-start="6840" data-end="6958">Prudent financial management is increasingly viewed not as a temporary policy choice, but as a structural expectation.</p>
<p data-start="6960" data-end="7003">This transition comes at a critical moment.</p>
<p data-start="7005" data-end="7148">India’s economy continues to expand rapidly, and the effectiveness of government spending is becoming increasingly important to sustain growth.</p>
<p data-start="7150" data-end="7277">If the new framework succeeds in encouraging stronger fiscal discipline across states, the benefits may not appear immediately.</p>
<p data-start="7279" data-end="7368">But over time, it could quietly strengthen the foundations of India’s economic stability.</p>
<p data-start="7370" data-end="7434">Sometimes the most consequential policy changes operate quietly.</p>
<p data-start="7436" data-end="7586">The work of the <strong data-start="7452" data-end="7479">16th Finance Commission</strong> may prove to be one of those moments, shaping a more balanced and sustainable fiscal trajectory for India.</p>

        <title>Asset Kart Brings ‘Digital India’ to Land Ownership with Fractional Investment Starting at Rs 10 Lakh</title>

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/asset-kart-brings-digital-india-to-land-ownership-with-fractional-investment-starting-at-rs-10-lakh-16394</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2-8.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Asset Kart Brings ‘Digital India’ to Land Ownership with Fractional Investment Starting at Rs 10 Lakh-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><span data-sheets-root="1"><strong>New Delhi [India], March 07:</strong> </span>Asset Kart, a technology-driven real estate investment platform, is redefining how investors participate in land ownership in India by introducing fractional land investment opportunities starting at ₹10 lakh.</p>
<p>The platform aims to democratise access to land investments by combining technology, transparency, and structured investment frameworks, allowing investors to participate in curated land opportunities that were traditionally accessible only to a limited group of high-capital investors.</p>
<p>As India accelerates its digital transformation under initiatives such as Digital India, technology platforms are increasingly reshaping traditional sectors — and real estate is now witnessing a similar shift. Asset Kart seeks to leverage this transformation to create a more accessible and transparent ecosystem for land investments.</p>
<h1>Opening Access to a Traditionally Restricted Asset Class</h1>
<p>At the core of the Asset Kart platform lies a powerful idea — Access.</p>
<p>For decades, land investments in India have largely remained restricted due to high entry costs, limited transparency, and operational complexities. Asset Kart is working to bridge this gap by enabling investors to participate in professionally curated land opportunities through a technology-enabled platform.</p>
<p>Through its digital investment framework, Asset Kart provides investors with:</p>
<h2>Access to Premium Land Opportunities</h2>
<p>Carefully curated land investment opportunities located in high-growth regions across India.</p>
<h2>Access to Transparency</h2>
<p>Digitised ownership structures that provide investors with greater visibility into their investments. Investors can track their fractional ownership through their Demat accounts, enabling greater confidence and clarity.</p>
<h2>Lower Entry Barriers</h2>
<p>With a minimum investment starting from ₹10 lakh, Asset Kart significantly reduces the traditional capital requirement associated with land investments.</p>
<h2>Portfolio Diversification</h2>
<p>Investors can diversify their real estate exposure across multiple land opportunities and locations, helping mitigate concentration risk.</p>
<h2>Structured Exit Pathways</h2>
<p>Investment structures designed to create potential liquidity pathways, addressing one of the long-standing challenges associated with land investments.</p>
<h1>Strong Investor Response to First Opportunity</h1>
<p>Asset Kart has already witnessed encouraging early traction from investors. The platform’s first land investment opportunity in Dwarka, Gujarat received a strong response from the market, with Phase 1 being fully funded by participating investors.</p>
<p>Building on this momentum, the company has now announced Dwarka Phase 2, offering investors another opportunity to participate in the same high-potential location.</p>
<p>The successful completion of Phase 1 highlights the growing demand among investors for structured, transparent, and technology-enabled access to land investments.</p>
<h1>Founders’ Vision for the Future of Land Investing</h1>
<p>Speaking about the long-term vision of the platform, Mukesh Mulani and Ankesh Jain, founders of Asset Kart, said:</p>
<p>“Real estate — particularly land — has historically been one of India’s most valuable asset classes, yet access has remained limited for many investors. Our vision with Asset Kart is to bridge this gap by using technology to make land investments more accessible, transparent, and structured.” — Mukesh Mulani</p>
<p>“We believe the future of real estate investing will be digital, data-driven, and inclusive. Through Asset Kart, we aim to create a platform where investors from across India can participate in premium land opportunities with confidence and clarity.” — Ankesh Jain</p>
<p>With the rapid adoption of digital investment platforms and growing investor interest in alternative real estate opportunities, Asset Kart aims to position itself at the forefront of India’s emerging fractional land investment ecosystem.</p>

        <title>Best Crypto to Buy Now: DeepSnitch AI Stands Above TAO and SOL Ahead of Legendary Launch As USD 350M in Sovereign Crypto Capital Is Coming This Spring From Kazakhstan</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-07T183820.117.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="crypto-pnn"></p><p dir="ltr"><strong>New Delhi [India], March 0</strong>7: Kazakhstan’s National Bank Governor Timur Suleimenov confirmed this week that the central bank is building a $350 million crypto-linked investment portfolio directly from its gold and foreign exchange reserves, with Deputy Governor Aliya Moldabekova putting the first purchases in April or May 2026.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Kazakhstan is writing the check, and the market is about to feel it. While that sovereign capital loads up in April, <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-to-buy-now-in-march-2026-deepsnitch-ai-tao-sol" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> is the best crypto presale right now with a 300% bonus, five tools running in a live dashboard, and a March 31 presale deadline.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">$350M in sovereign crypto capital from Kazakhstan is the bull run entry signal</h2>
<p dir="ltr">When a central bank pulls money from its gold and foreign exchange reserves and moves it into crypto-linked assets, it is not speculating.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It is making a formal policy statement that digital assets belong in serious reserve management.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The promising altcoins 2026 thesis has official sovereign backing now, and the traders who load up on trending altcoins today before that capital physically enters the market in April and May are the ones sitting on the biggest gains when it arrives.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The best crypto to buy now, before institutional demand absorbs available supply, is closing its presale soon.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Best crypto to buy now includes DeepSnitch AI, TAO, and SOL</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. DeepSnitch AI (DSNT): The only presale this cycle where the product already works</h3>
<p dir="ltr">When you compare every crypto gaining investor attention in this market, <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-to-buy-now-in-march-2026-deepsnitch-ai-tao-sol" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> wins that comparison before you even get to the tokenomics, because every other presale is asking you to fund a product that does not exist yet. While $DSNT is asking you to buy into one that has five AI agents running inside a live dashboard right now.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Feed keeps you ahead of every market move before it blindsides the traders who are not watching the right signals. Scan shows you exactly where the big wallets are moving right now, so you stop chasing pumps and start front-running them.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Cast GPT answers every trade question you have at any hour without billing you for it. Audit protects your capital from the contracts that were designed to drain it before you ever find out. Explorer gives you the complete verified history of any token or wallet, so you know what you are buying before you buy it.</p>
<p dir="ltr">From a $0.0151 launch price to $0.04313 today, DSNT has delivered 185% before any exchange touched it and pulled in $1.92M from traders who did not need a listing announcement to recognize the value of five working AI tools at microcap presale pricing. Both smart contracts have been cleared by CoinSult and SolidProof, so the due diligence is already done for you.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The DSNTVIP150 bonus code available for $10k entries takes your base allocation from 662k tokens all the way up to 1.65 million $DSNT, which at $5 per token in the next cycle translates to $8.28 million sitting in your wallet from a single presale decision.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The hard close is March 31 with no extensions offered under any circumstances, a seven-day claim window follows for tokens and staking rewards, and then UniSwap opens the price discovery that the community has been building toward, with CEX listings expected to follow shortly after.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Among all the best crypto to buy now picks this cycle, $DSNT is the only entry where the utility is live today and the moonshots are possible.</p>
<p dir="ltr"></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. TAO (Bittensor)</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Promising altcoins 2026 lists from every credible analyst keep coming back to TAO because the protocol is doing something in decentralized AI that nothing else in crypto is doing at the same scale.</p>
<p dir="ltr">TAO is currently trading around $177 on March 6. Grayscale filed for a Bittensor Trust with the SEC in December 2025, which, if approved, gives institutional investors regulated access to TAO exposure for the first time.</p>
<p dir="ltr">TAO also led double-digit gains across AI crypto tokens when NVIDIA posted record Q4 2025 earnings, confirming the tight correlation between AI sector sentiment.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Analyst projections put the 2026 bull target at $700+ from current levels for traders buying the deep discount ahead of Grayscale product approval and the broader AI adoption.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">3. SOL (Solana)</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The trending altcoins today conversation around Solana is no longer about whether the technology works. At 50,000 transactions per second with sub-second finality and fees that cost fractions of a cent, the performance case is already proven.</p>
<p dir="ltr">SOL is currently <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/solana/?_t=1772816929448" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trading around $84 on March 6.</a> Forward Industries converted its entire corporate treasury strategy to Solana, holding over 6.9 million SOL worth nearly $1 billion and running its own validator node.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Moreover, Western Union launched its USDPT stablecoin on Solana in 2026, bringing one of the most recognizable payment brands on earth directly onto the network.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Bull case for SOL puts the 2026 target between $150 and $200 for patient traders. With a $48B market cap from the jump, the upside is capped by that size. This isn’t the kind of trade that can 100x your portfolio overnight like a microcap presale, DeepSnitch AI can.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion</h2>
<p dir="ltr">TAO has the decentralized AI infrastructure story and a Grayscale product that could reprice it when approved. SOL has $1 billion in ETF inflows, Western Union adoption, and a 70% discount from its high that patient cycle traders are already loading.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Both are the best crypto to buy now projects that will reward traders who hold them through 2026 with decent returns.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But the entry where the utility is already in your hands, the market cap is small enough to move hard, the audits are signed off, and exchange listing heat is rising, is still pointing to DeepSnitch AI. The March 31 presale close is the only deadline standing between you and that entry.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Get into the official <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-to-buy-now-in-march-2026-deepsnitch-ai-tao-sol" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI presale </a>before March 31.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">Why does Kazakhstan’s $350M sovereign crypto portfolio make this the best crypto to buy now in the whole cycle?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">When central banks allocate reserve capital to crypto, every other institutional allocator on the planet takes note. The best crypto to buy now, before that fresh sovereign demand hits open markets, is historically where the sharpest traders build their cycle-defining positions.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Is TAO genuinely one of the most promising altcoins in 2026 despite sitting 75% below its all-time high?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">TAO has Grayscale backing and a fixed 21 million supply, but DeepSnitch AI has five live tools, dual audits, and a 500x setup closing March 31 that TAO simply cannot replicate at any price.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Is SOL one of the top trending altcoins today?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">SOL needs a full cycle recovery to deliver meaningful returns, but DeepSnitch AI at $0.04313 with a 300% bonus and March 31 closing delivers the parabolic outcome SOL’s $48 billion market cap mathematically cannot.</p>

        <title>From Professional to Founder: Women Leaders Reflect on the Mindset Shift That Fuels Entrepreneurship</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/2.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="From Professional to Founder: Women Leaders Reflect on the Mindset Shift That Fuels Entrepreneurship-PNN" decoding="async"></p><div class="col-12 col-lg-12 col-xl-12 ">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12 col-sm-7 col-lg-7"><span data-sheets-root="1"><strong>New Delhi [India], March 07:</strong> </span>The journey from a structured professional career to entrepreneurship often begins long before a company is founded. It starts with a shift in mindset. For many women leaders, the transition from working within established systems to building something of their own involves redefining confidence, ownership, and leadership.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-12 col-lg-12 col-xl-12 ">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12 col-sm-7 col-lg-7">
<p dir="ltr">As International Women’s Day approaches, conversations around women entrepreneurs are increasingly focusing on the internal transformations that accompany this transition. Moving from defined roles to founding ventures requires a willingness to embrace uncertainty, trust personal judgment, and take responsibility for shaping outcomes. Women leaders across industries are sharing how this shift helped them step beyond conventional career paths and build organizations that reflect their vision and values.</p>
<p dir="ltr">To understand this shift more closely, we spoke with a few women leaders who have experienced this transition firsthand. From moving beyond structured corporate roles to building purpose-driven ventures, they share the mindset changes that helped them step into entrepreneurship and leadership.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“The most important mindset shift for me was moving from seeking certainty to trusting my conviction,“ said Akshi Khandelwal, Founder & CEO, Butterfly Ayurveda & Cafe Swasthya. “In a professional environment, you are often trained to follow defined structures and outcomes. But entrepreneurship, especially when it is purpose-driven, requires you to believe in a vision even before it fully takes shape. My journey with Ayurveda began as a personal transformation in health, and that experience taught me to trust that deeper purpose. Once you align with that, uncertainty becomes part of the journey rather than something that holds you back.” she added.</p>
<p>Dr. Yukti, MD & Co-Founder, Satyukt Analytics, noted, “The most important shift was believing that I could build, not just contribute. As professionals, many of us are trained to excel within existing systems. Becoming a founder requires the confidence to create something new and take ownership of the outcome. That shift came from realizing that meaningful innovation often begins with a strong conviction. Once I trusted that conviction, the focus naturally moved toward building solutions that can create lasting value for farmers and the agricultural ecosystem.”</p>
<p>Rutvi Sheth-Kundalia, Head – Strategy & HR, Advait Energy Transitions Limited expressed, “The biggest mindset shift for me was moving from execution within defined structures to embracing uncertainty and ownership as a founder. In a professional role, systems and hierarchies often guide decisions. Entrepreneurship, however, requires trusting your judgment even when the path ahead is not fully visible,”</p>
<p dir="ltr">“I learned that leadership is less about having all the answers and more about building resilient teams, staying adaptable, and making decisions with conviction. For many women, the transition also means overcoming self-doubt and stepping confidently into spaces where our voice and perspective can shape meaningful outcomes.” she added.</p>
<p dir="ltr">While every entrepreneurial journey is unique, a common thread among women founders is the courage to trust their instincts and step into leadership with conviction. The shift from contributor to creator is rarely easy, but it often becomes the foundation for meaningful innovation and long-term impact.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As more women move from professional roles into entrepreneurship, their stories highlight an important lesson. Building something new begins not only with an idea, but with the belief that one has the ability to shape it. These evolving leadership journeys continue to inspire the next generation of women to imagine, create, and lead with confidence.</p>

Kiran holds 84 world records in martial arts, fitness, and social work, including 18 Guinness World Records. She holds 74 world records in martial arts speed strikes and kicks, including 15 Guinness World Records. Her three Guinness World Records, which still stand, are: 28,234 punches in one hour; 590 punches in one minute with 1kg dumbbell in both hands; and 347 punches with one hand with 1kg dumbbell in one minute.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-71037" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-07T165739.594.jpg" alt="- Kiran Deoli Uniyal: First Indian woman to hold most martial arts world records-PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<ul>
<li>Kiran Deoli Uniyal: First Indian woman to hold most martial arts world records</li>
<li>From a wife and mother to a martial arts motivator, practitioner, and social worker</li>
</ul>
<p>Originally from Rudraprayag, married into Saknoli village, Pauri, and currently residing in Delhi, Kiran Uniyal initially took up martial arts out of a desire for personal fitness and self-protection. This personal pursuit soon transformed into a larger mission to inspire and empower. She worked on her stamina, speed, and skill to achieve the records. A strict vegetarian, Kiran still practices martial arts for three to four hours daily. Through her dedication to martial arts, she supports its importance in sports, fitness, and, most importantly, self-defense. Now, Kiran is an inspiration to children, girls, and women. She wants every woman to learn self-defense and empower herself to face any unsafe situation.</p>
<p>Every strike and achievement Kiran Uniyal achieves in martial arts is not just a display of physical strength, but a powerful statement of women’s empowerment and capability. Kiran has earned a third dan black belt in Taekwondo, is trained  in Israeli martial art Krav Maga, and has learned various martial arts disciplines. Her husband, Colonel Sunil Kumar Uniyal (Retd.), has been a constant supporter of her throughout her journey to world records and martial arts success. Sunil Uniyal himself is a fitness enthusiast and a marathon runner.</p>
<p>Currently, Kiran works as a martial arts motivator, practitioner, and social worker, promoting martial arts for fitness, self-defense, and sports. As Kiran Uniyal continues to forge her own path, she remains a source of inspiration and strength. Her story isn’t just about the records she’s achieved; it’s about the societal norms she challenges and the example she sets for generations to come.</p>

        <title>Manufacturing Award Reimagined: Why the ansoim–CXO Lanes Operational Maturity and Excellence Award TM Is Setting a New Benchmark</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/manufacturing-award-reimagined-why-the-ansoimcxo-lanes-operational-maturity-and-excellence-award-tm-is-setting-a-new-benchmark</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/manufacturing-award-reimagined-why-the-ansoimcxo-lanes-operational-maturity-and-excellence-award-tm-is-setting-a-new-benchmark</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-3-2.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Manufacturing Award Reimagined: Why the ansoim–CXO Lanes Operational Maturity and Excellence Award TM Is Setting a New Benchmark-PNN"></p><p><span><strong>New Delhi [India], March 07:</strong> </span>In today’s manufacturing world, EBITDA leakage rarely appears dramatic.</p>
<p>It hides.</p>
<p>Behind dashboards.</p>
<p>Behind 98% OEE claims.</p>
<p>Behind “on-track” project reports.</p>
<p>Behind digital systems that look modern but operate shallow.</p>
<p>That is precisely why the <strong>Manufacturing Excellence Award</strong> must evolve.</p>
<p>Not as a trophy.</p>
<p>Not as a ceremony.</p>
<p>But as a scientific evaluation of execution maturity.</p>
<p>And that is where the <strong>ansoim–CXO Lanes Operational Maturity & Excellence Award<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley"> (OMEA)</strong> changes the definition of a true <strong>Manufacturing Award</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>What Is a Manufacturing Excellence Award — And Why Most Fail</strong></p>
<p>Most traditional manufacturing awards evaluate:</p>
<p>·CSR activity</p>
<p>·Branding strength</p>
<p>·Sustainability claims</p>
<p>·Marketing narratives</p>
<p>·Limited KPI submissions</p>
<p>But very few evaluate:</p>
<p>·Structural process maturity</p>
<p>·Governance discipline</p>
<p>·Cross-functional alignment</p>
<p>·Financial linkage of operational gaps</p>
<p>·Behavioral readiness for transformation</p>
<p>A real <strong>Manufacturing Excellence & Award</strong> must answer:</p>
<p>Is this organization structurally mature — or just temporarily performing? OMEA Is designed to answer that question.</p>
<p><strong>Introducing the ansoim–CXO Lanes Operational Maturity & Excellence Award<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley"></strong></p>
<p>The <strong>Operational Maturity & Excellence Award<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley"> (OMEA)</strong> is not an award for optics.</p>
<p>It is a <strong>900-point structured Manufacturing Excellence framework</strong> covering six enterprise pillars:</p>
<p><strong>1. Manufacturing Systems</strong></p>
<p><strong>2. Supply Chain Architecture</strong></p>
<p><strong>3. Sales Execution</strong></p>
<p><strong>4. Digital Systems Integration</strong></p>
<p><strong>5. Governance & Review Mechanisms</strong></p>
<p><strong>6. People Functions & Leadership Discipline</strong></p>
<p>Unlike surface-level recognition platforms, OMEA evaluates more than <strong>150 structured checkpoints</strong>, across process, system, structure, and behaviour.</p>
<p>This makes it one of the most comprehensive <strong>Manufacturing Excellence Awards in India and the Middle East</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>The 900-Point Manufacturing Maturity Architecture</strong></p>
<p>OMEA operates through a layered scoring model:</p>
<p>·Process maturity scoring</p>
<p>·System robustness evaluation</p>
<p>·Governance depth assessment</p>
<p>·Behavioral discipline analysis</p>
<p>·Financial impact correlation</p>
<p>This allows participating organizations to move beyond perception and into quantification.</p>
<p><strong>What the Manufacturing Award Enables</strong></p>
<p>Participating companies gain:</p>
<p>·<strong>Best Practices benchmarking visibility</strong></p>
<p>·<strong>Gap detection beyond dashboards</strong></p>
<p>·<strong>OFIs (Opportunities for Improvement) linked to EBITDA</strong></p>
<p>·<strong>Cross-plant comparability</strong></p>
<p>·<strong>Future readiness evaluation</strong></p>
<p>·<strong>Growth Workshop for executive clarity</strong></p>
<p>This is why OMEA is increasingly recognized as a serious <strong>Manufacturing Excellence Award</strong>, not a ceremonial recognition.</p>
<p><strong>Beyond the Award: The Science of Execution</strong></p>
<p>The problem in manufacturing is rarely strategy.</p>
<p>It is execution depth.</p>
<p>Many CEOs discover that:</p>
<p>·Review meetings lack analytical rigor</p>
<p>·Data reliability varies by plant</p>
<p>·Improvements remain project-based, not systemic</p>
<p>·Governance mechanisms weaken over time</p>
<p>·Behavioral resistance slows transformation</p>
<p>OMEA identifies structural causes, not symptoms.</p>
<p>It measures:</p>
<p>·Reliability of preventive systems</p>
<p>·Maintenance maturity</p>
<p>·Capacity calculation scientific rigor</p>
<p>·Production planning discipline</p>
<p>·Sales-operational alignment</p>
<p>·Digital adoption depth</p>
<p>This makes the award evaluation itself a transformation catalyst.</p>
<p><strong>Manufacturing Excellence Award + People Alignment = Sustainable Performance</strong></p>
<p>Operational maturity alone does not guarantee excellence.</p>
<p>That is why the framework integrates: <strong>People Alignment & Change Assessment<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley"> (PACA)</strong></p>
<p>PACA measures:</p>
<p>·Leadership alignment</p>
<p>·Change readiness</p>
<p>·Cultural openness</p>
<p>·Accountability depth</p>
<p>·Conflict handling maturity</p>
<p>·Cross-functional trust</p>
<p>While OMEA quantifies structural maturity, PACA quantifies behavioral readiness.</p>
<p>Together, they create one of the most structured architectures behind any <strong>Manufacturing Award platform</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Why This Manufacturing Excellence Award Matters Now</strong></p>
<p>Manufacturing organizations today face:</p>
<p>·Margin compression</p>
<p>·Multi-plant inconsistency</p>
<p>·Rising capital investments</p>
<p>·Digital overload</p>
<p>·Private equity pressure</p>
<p>Under these conditions, a traditional Manufacturing Award is insufficient.</p>
<p>Boards now ask:</p>
<p>·Is our performance sustainable?</p>
<p>·Are our systems scalable?</p>
<p>·Is our governance future-proof?</p>
<p>·Is our organization ready for the next growth phase?</p>
<p>The ansoim Manufacturing Excellence Award answers these questions with structured scoring not storytelling.</p>
<p><strong>Who Should Apply for This Manufacturing Award?</strong></p>
<p>This Manufacturing Excellence Award is designed for:</p>
<p>·Large manufacturing enterprises</p>
<p>·Multi-plant organizations</p>
<p>·Family-owned manufacturing groups</p>
<p>·Private equity-backed manufacturing businesses</p>
<p>·Industrial conglomerates</p>
<p>·High-growth engineering companies</p>
<p>It is especially relevant for organizations preparing for:</p>
<p>·IPO readiness</p>
<p>·Global expansion</p>
<p>·Capacity scale-up</p>
<p>·Digital transformation</p>
<p>·Board-level restructuring</p>
<p><strong>What Participants Receive</strong></p>
<p>Organizations participating in the <strong>Manufacturing Excellence & Award framework</strong> receive:</p>
<p>·Structured 900-point maturity scorecard</p>
<p>·Detailed benchmarking insight</p>
<p>·Financial linkage visibility</p>
<p>·Executive Growth Workshop</p>
<p>·Recognition on CXO Lanes & 200+ media platforms</p>
<p>This combination of assessment + recognition differentiates OMEA from traditional Manufacturing Awards.</p>

<p><strong>Why This Article Matters for Manufacturing Leaders Searching “Manufacturing Award”</strong></p>
<p>If you are searching for:</p>
<p>·Best Manufacturing Award</p>
<p>·Manufacturing Excellence Award in India</p>
<p>·Operational Excellence Award</p>
<p>·Manufacturing Assessment Award</p>
<p>·Industrial Excellence Award</p>
<p>You are likely not looking for a trophy.</p>
<p>You are looking for credibility, benchmarking, and clarity.</p>
<p>OMEA was built precisely for that.</p>
<p><strong>Final Thought</strong></p>
<p>In manufacturing, success is not about appearing strong.</p>
<p>It is about being structurally mature.</p>
<p>The ansoim–CXO Lanes Operational Maturity & Excellence Award<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley"> transforms the idea of a Manufacturing Award from celebration to calibration.</p>
<p>And in a world where execution determines valuation, calibration matters more than applause.</p>

The stretch of road from Haja Patel ni Pol (Calico Dome) to N.C. Bodiwala College has officially been named <strong>‘Late Bhupendrabhai Sevakram Khatri (Patni) Marg’.</strong></p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-07-03-26-3.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="PP Savani"></p><p><strong>Surat (Gujarat) [India], March 07:</strong> In an emotional celebration of compassion and social responsibility, the PP Savani family, led by renowned philanthropist Mahesh Savani, organised the two-day “Koyaldi” mass wedding ceremony in Surat, where 133 fatherless daughters were married with dignity and affection in December.</p>
<p>Held at the PP Savani Chaitanya Vidya Sankul, the event brought together daughters from 37 communities across four states and 17 districts, highlighting a spirit of unity that went beyond religion, caste and region. The ceremony marked another milestone in the Savani family’s long-running social initiative, which has supported the marriages of 5,539 fatherless daughters over the past 18 years.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-102704 aligncenter" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-07-03-26-1-3.jpg" alt="PP Savani" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p>The marriages took place over two days, with 55 brides married on December 20 and 56 on December 21, while 22 daughters from Saurashtra were also supported with wedding arrangements. Around 90% of the brides had neither a father nor a brother, making the initiative particularly significant for families lacking traditional support systems.</p>
<p>The event was attended by several prominent dignitaries, including Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi. Addressing the gathering, he described the initiative as a powerful example of humanity in action.</p>
<p>“For daughters who have lost the protection of their fathers, Maheshbhai Savani has become a father figure. This continuing service initiative stands as a symbol of compassion and social commitment,” he said.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-102705" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-07-03-26-2-1.jpg" alt="PP Savani" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p>Mahesh Savani, widely regarded as a guardian father to thousands of fatherless daughters, said, “Placing a hand of blessing on a daughter’s head at her wedding is an act as sacred as undertaking a pilgrimage. Marriage is not merely a ritual but the beginning of a lifelong relationship where society must continue to support and guide these daughters.”</p>
<p>The ceremony brought together daughters from Hindu, Muslim and Christian communities, including differently-abled brides. Marriages were conducted according to their respective religious customs, including nikah ceremonies for Muslim couples.</p>
<p>Members of the Savani family performed the traditional brother’s role during the wedding rituals for brides who did not have brothers, ensuring that every bride experienced the warmth and symbolism of family traditions.</p>
<p>One of the most touching moments of the ceremony was the introduction of a new tradition known as the “Tulsi Kyaro”. Women welcomed their daughters-in-law by presenting them with a tulsi plant, symbolising acceptance and the beginning of a nurturing mother-daughter relationship. The gesture represented a pledge by families to treat daughters-in-law with care, dignity and affection.</p>
<p>The programme also highlighted important social messages. Thalassemia tests were conducted for couples before marriage to help prevent the hereditary disease. Another meaningful moment occurred during the ceremonial lamp lighting on the second day, when 11 women from families who had pledged organ donation lit the lamp in association with the Jeevandeep Organ Donation Foundation. The gesture demonstrated the importance of organ donation in saving lives.</p>
<p>The ceremony also witnessed the simultaneous release of three books chronicling the lives and service journey of the Savani family. These included Aarohan, a biography of Vallabhbhai Savani, Preranamurti, documenting the life and philanthropic work of Maheshbhai Savani, and Koyaldi, a collection of letters written by fatherless daughters expressing their emotions and experiences.</p>
<p>The most emotional moment came during the farewell ceremony, when the brides approached Maheshbhai Savani with tears in their eyes. Blessing each daughter, he assured them that the family’s support would continue even after their marriage.</p>
<p>The initiative also extends beyond the wedding ceremonies. A community network called Seva Sangathan, comprising nearly 11,000 members, supports couples married through the programme by providing assistance in times of financial hardship and by facilitating access to education, healthcare and counselling for their families.</p> ]]></description>

        <title>New Frontiers in Hair Regeneration: The Rise of Cell&amp;Based Therapies</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/new-frontiers-in-hair-regeneration-the-rise-of-cell-based-therapies</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/new-frontiers-in-hair-regeneration-the-rise-of-cell-based-therapies</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-07T125728.215.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="New Frontiers in Hair Regeneration: The Rise of Cell-Based Therapies -PNN"></p><p dir="ltr"><strong>New Delhi [India], March 07:</strong> Hair loss has always been more than cosmetic. For many men and women, it is a daily reminder of aging, stress, or genetic predisposition. While wigs, medications, and transplants have long been the mainstay, recent years have seen a subtle but important shift: medicine is moving from covering up hair loss to actually re-engineering the scalp biology that causes it.</p>
<p dir="ltr">One of the most promising frontiers in this shift is cell-based therapy — specifically, what is now known as autologous micro-grafting combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). This technique has begun to gain global attention for its potential to reawaken dormant follicles and, in some cases, stimulate the creation of new ones.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>The Evolution of Regenerative Therapies </strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">In India, few institutions have been as active in adopting and refining these advances as VCare Hair and Skin Clinics. Starting with PRP protocols, the clinic quickly expanded into Growth Factor Concentrates (GFC) — a more refined formulation designed to maximize growth signaling.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Building on that foundation, VCare went further by pioneering India’s first exosome-based hair growth therapy — tapping into nanovesicles that carry proteins and signaling molecules capable of modulating inflammation and supporting follicle repair.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Today, the clinic has added another milestone: <a href="https://www.vcaretrichology.com/cell-graft-hair-regrowth-treatment.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cell Graft Treatment</a>, a procedure that introduces live progenitor-cell–rich micrografts into the scalp, combined with PRP, to push beyond follicle support into follicle regeneration.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>The Science Behind It</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">The principle is deceptively simple: healthy hair does not just depend on surface nourishment but on the presence of viable follicular units and the environment that supports them. Over time, hormonal influences (such as DHT), chronic inflammation, and fibrosis reduce stem-cell signaling in the follicular niche. The result is thinner hair shafts, miniaturization, and eventual loss of visible hair.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Cell-based therapy aims to reverse some of this decline by providing the scalp with a concentrated mix of progenitor cells — immature but highly functional cells that can differentiate into follicle-supporting structures that organize tissue repair.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>A Different Approach Than PRP Alone</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">PRP by itself has been used for years to support hair growth, with the idea of nourishing existing follicles. However, PRP cannot create new follicles; it can only optimize what is already present. The distinction with cell-based therapy is that, by introducing viable progenitor cells, the scalp may be able to undergo follicle neogenesis — the formation of entirely new follicular units in addition to rescuing existing ones.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This is why many experts, including specialists at VCare Hair and Skin Clinics, describe Cell Graft Treatment as a step beyond PRP. It is not meant to replace transplants in severe baldness, but rather to intervene earlier, when thinning or patchy loss is visible, and to serve as an adjunct for donor strengthening after transplant.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Treatment Process explained by experts at VCare</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">The procedure itself is straightforward. A 2 mm punch is done to collect sample tissue from the postauricular region (behind the ear). The micro-sample is combined with the PRP through cell graft microlyzer creating a cell-rich suspension using advanced dual-level processing technology. This suspension is then carefully injected into thinning or bald areas of the scalp. Microneedling is performed to enhance absorption.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Patients typically resume normal activities within 24–48 hours. Two days after the procedure, VCare Hair Clinic recommended starting their research-backed Invacare Home Care Kit to support continued growth and scalp health.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>The Bigger Picture</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">Hair restoration has often been a choice between short-term topical fixes or invasive transplants. Regenerative therapies are now creating a middle ground: minimally invasive, science-driven, and capable of long-term scalp rejuvenation.</p>
<p dir="ltr">And in this journey, VCare Hair and Skin Clinics has been a pioneer. Founded by Carolin Praba Reddy, a visionary entrepreneur and trichology expert, VCare has grown into South India’s leading hair and skin clinic network, with 80+ branches across India and over 1.5 million satisfied clients.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Carolin Praba’s vision has always been to bridge advanced research with accessible clinical practice — bringing innovations like PRP, GFC, exosomes, and now Cell Graft Treatment into standardized treatment protocols for Indian patients. Under her leadership, VCare continues to represent trust, expertise, and innovation in the field of regenerative hair restoration. For patients, this means access to global innovations adapted to Indian clinical realities, with the reassurance of being treated by one of the country’s most trusted hair and skin care providers.</p>

<p><span><strong>New Delhi [India], March 07:</strong> </span>International Women’s Day is a global celebration of the achievements, resilience, and leadership of women across industries and communities. As the world continues to evolve, women leaders are playing an increasingly vital role in shaping the future through innovation, vision, and purpose-driven leadership. From entrepreneurs and changemakers to professionals transforming their respective fields, these inspiring women are breaking barriers and creating new opportunities for progress. International Women’s Day 2026: Inspiring Women Leaders Shaping the Future highlights a remarkable group of women who are leading with courage, redefining leadership, and making a meaningful impact while inspiring the next generation to dream bigger and lead with confidence.</p>
<p><strong>1. Anuradha Gupta: Co-Founder and CEO of </strong><a href="https://www.amantyatech.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Amantya Technologies</strong></a></p>
<p>Anuradha Gupta, Co-Founder and CEO of Amantya Technologies, is an accomplished technopreneur shaping the evolution of intelligent telecom networks. With over two decades of experience in telecom engineering and digital innovation, she founded Amantya in 2018 with a handful of determined engineers. Today, the bootstrapped company has grown into an 800+ strong global organization, working with telecom operators, enterprises, and Fortune 500 companies worldwide.</p>
<p>Under her leadership, Amantya is advancing 5G, AI-driven network automation, edge computing, and cloud technologies, helping build more intelligent and resilient digital infrastructure. The company is actively contributing to the development of next-generation telecom solutions and expanding its presence across global markets, supporting enterprises and operators in their digital transformation journeys.</p>
<p>Her journey reflects resilience, a strong belief in indigenous innovation, and people-first leadership. Recognized with the Bharat Telecom Export Excellence Award 2025 (TEPC) and the Globalisation Excellence Award 2025 (ISAN), Anuradha continues to champion greater participation of women in engineering and technology leadership.</p>
<p><strong>2. Neha Kumari: Founder and CEO of </strong><a href="https://www.carret.in/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Carret</strong></a></p>
<p>For me, ambition began with a simple belief: where you start should never define how far you can go. As a teenager, I left my home in a small village in Bihar to pursue my education. I went on to become the first girl in my village to crack IIT-JEE, and later the first woman in my family to start my own business. That journey taught me the importance of believing in your potential and being truly independent in your thoughts. Because every step we take is part of a story others are quietly watching. You never know who might find courage in it.</p>
<p>Today, as the Founder and CEO of Carret, Neha is building her entrepreneurial journey with the same determination and vision that shaped her early years. Under her leadership, Carret has scaled to 1,000Cr+ transaction volume and has presence in India, the UAE, and the Singapore region. Recognised among ET Inspiring Women Leaders, her story reflects resilience, self-belief, and the courage to challenge traditional boundaries.</p>
<p><strong>3. Prachi Singh: CEO of </strong><a href="https://dharoharlandcorp.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Dharohar Land Corporation</strong></a></p>
<p>Prachi Singh, CEO of Dharohar Land Corporation, approached real estate from an unusual entry point—global corporate rigor. With post-graduation from Canada and an overseas career across Mercer, Manheim, and Xerox Holdings, she spent years working within systems built for scale and accountability. None of it pointed to real estate, and that distance offered clarity.</p>
<p>She saw what insiders often missed: an industry where unclear titles, opaque documentation, and informal networks routinely erode trust before transactions even begin. That insight shaped what came next. Dharohar was founded on the premise that real estate shouldn’t begin with price; it should begin with trust.</p>
<p>Today, she leads that philosophy into every aspect of Dharohar, from land acquisition and development to sales and channel integration. Recognized among India’s 40 Under 40 Women business leaders, Prachi reflects an emerging archetype—global fluency translated into meaningful local impact.</p>
<p><strong>4. Puunam G Kaushik: Founder & CEO of </strong><a href="https://meteoricos.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Meteoric Cosmeceutiicals Pvt. Ltd.</strong></a><strong> Dy Managing Director & Chief -Corporate Affairs, </strong><a href="https://www.meteoricbiopharma.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Meteoric Biopharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd</strong></a></p>
<p>Puunam G. Kaushik is a multi-faceted businesswoman with over 20 years of diverse industry experience. She has played a pivotal role in strengthening Meteoric’s global footprint. Her focus on operational excellence and innovation has positioned the company as a trusted partner for biopharma and most recently into biocosmetic solutions.</p>
<p>She is deeply committed to social impact. As the Founder & Managing Trustee of VISHALWIN FOUNDATION, she has led initiatives supporting children with special needs and intellectual disabilities, promoting higher education for underprivileged youth, and creating road safety awareness across India.</p>

        <title>Next Crypto to Explode: DeepSnitch AI Prepares for a Monumental March 31st Launch as WAR Records 360 Percent Pump and SIGN 100 Percent</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-16.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Next Crypto to Explode: DeepSnitch AI Prepares for a Monumental March 31st Launch as WAR Records 360 Percent Pump and SIGN 100 Percent-PNN"></p><p dir="ltr">During a highly publicized news briefing, senior officials from Kazakhstan’s central bank announced an initiative to invest up to $350 million. This will come directly from the nation’s gold and foreign exchange reserves into a crypto-linked portfolio.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Even with this massive influx of state-sponsored capital, <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=next-crypto-explode-deepsnitch-march-31-launch-war-360pc-sign-100pc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> is among the presales that could turn out to be the next crypto to explode. Many supporters agree that, among other coins, DeepSnitch AI ($DSNT) is the most bullish ahead of its launch. The presale, currently in Stage 6, has raised more than $1,970,000.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Kazakhstan Central Bank to invest $350 million in crypto</h2>
<p dir="ltr">National Bank Governor Timur Suleimenov <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/kazakhstan-central-bank-invest-up-350-million-crypto-assets-2026-03-06/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">confirmed</a> to Reuters that the institution is actively compiling a highly strategic list of financial instruments to populate this new basket. He stated that the central bank is not ruling out direct crypto exposure.</p>
<p dir="ltr">However, the immediate strategy will focus on heavily regulated, listed instruments tethered to the Web3 sector. Deputy Governor Aliya Moldabekova further clarified the timeline, projecting that the inaugural investments will officially commence in April or May. Until this deployment begins, the allocated sovereign funds are securely parked within traditional money market instruments.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">The next crypto to explode</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI ($DSNT): An opportunity for 100x profits is here</h3>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI is one of the low market cap cryptocurrencies that provides a limited chance to be part of a 100x ROI. The market demand surrounding this specific intelligence network has reached critical mass, driven entirely by its firm public launch date.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With the protocol slated to go live on March 31st, early backers have flooded the project treasury, pushing total raised capital beyond the impressive $1,970,000 milestone.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Due to this retail conviction, the presale price has accelerated to $0.04313. This impressive figure represents an astronomical appreciation exceeding 185% since the initial funding opened.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Moreover, the impending deployment of $350 million by a sovereign central bank explains the extreme informational gap between smaller investors and big firms. While national treasuries use elite algorithmic data, the average investor is left entirely exposed to market manipulation.</p>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI fundamentally shatters this predatory hierarchy by engineering an autonomous, decentralized intelligence grid exclusively for the public sector. The AI agents and platform are fully operational, with an easy-to-use interface.</p>
<p dir="ltr">And by March 31st, <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=next-crypto-explode-deepsnitch-march-31-launch-war-360pc-sign-100pc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> is expecting one of the biggest launches as the next crypto to explode.</p>
<p dir="ltr"></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Sign price prediction</h3>
<p dir="ltr">This coin recently had an increase of more than 110% over the past seven days as of March 6th. Because of these massive gains, it is currently outperforming both the market and similar Ethereum ecosystem tokens. Still, the token relies heavily on its bullish market sentiment to attract fresh capital.</p>
<p dir="ltr">And beneath these green candles lies a highly fragile market structure. The token faces a very high volatility rating, indicating that its price movements are prone to sudden, violent corrections.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Furthermore, with a neutral 14-Day RSI of 59.61, the asset is approaching overbought territory. Price predictions for the SIGN token predict that it could reach $0.1024 by the end of 2026.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">War price prediction</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Over the past seven days, as of March 6th, the coin has exploded with a 366% price increase, completely dominating similar Solana ecosystem cryptocurrencies. Traders heavily utilize complex technical indicators to determine support and resistance levels for this highly erratic asset, attempting to time the inevitable reversals in its overarching trend.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Despite this incredible short-term performance, the long-term viability of the asset remains highly suspect. Price predictions stretching out to 2026 predict a maximum price of only $0.03861, with an average trading price hovering around $0.02188.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Despite this massive run, DeepSnitch AI is likely the better option as the next crypto to explode, as it is a heavily backed intelligence protocol.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Final verdict</h2>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI is the next crypto to explode for many investors in the market. It has a presale that will soon come to an end, and it is aiming for a launch that will deliver massive gains. The market clearly dictates that, among other coins, DeepSnitch AI is the most bullish ahead of its launch.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If you join the presale with  $16,000 at the current asset valuation of $0.04313, you get approximately 370,971 DSNT tokens. By applying the exclusive promo code DSNTVIP150 during checkout, buyers get an extra 150% acquisition multiplier.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But you can only capitalize on this before the presale launches on March 31st. The clock is ticking.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">What is the next crypto to explode?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI is the top choice for the next crypto to explode, especially since the presale is ending very soon.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">What factors make DeepSnitch AI the top potential 100x crypto?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI is the top potential 100x crypto because it combines an actively deployed, retail-empowering analytical product with a highly suppressed presale valuation.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Is DeepSnitch AI considered one of the emerging crypto projects?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Yes, it is one of the emerging crypto projects with strict launch dates like March 31st.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-07-03-26-1-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Eleventh"></p><p><em>Eleventh Door Studio AI filmmaking production pipeline</em></p>
<p><span dir="LTR"><strong>New Delhi [India], March 07: </strong>The global film and advertising industries are undergoing a profound transformation. Advances in Generative AI, intelligent production pipelines, and computational creativity are reshaping how visual stories are imagined and produced.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">At the center of this shift is a new category of creative companies: AI-native production studios. These studios are not simply using artificial intelligence as a tool — they are redesigning the entire filmmaking pipeline around it.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">Eleventh Door Studio is one of the emerging studios helping define this transformation</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">Founded by </span><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nishithdayal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u><span dir="LTR">Nishith Dayal</span></u></a><span dir="LTR"> and </span><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/divesh-dayal-825bb58b/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u><span dir="LTR">Divesh Dayal</span></u></a><span dir="LTR">, Eleventh Door Studio is an AI-first cinematic production studio focused on building next-generation workflows for film, advertising, and original intellectual properties.</span></p>
<h1><strong><span dir="LTR">The Vision Behind Eleventh Door Studio</span></strong></h1>
<p><span dir="LTR">Eleventh Door Studio was founded with a clear vision: to combine cinematic storytelling with generative AI technologies to build the future of visual production.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">The founders come from backgrounds in media production, filmmaking, and creative technology, with years of experience developing visual content and digital storytelling.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">Their goal was not simply to use AI tools for quick content generation, but to develop a new production model — one that allows creative teams to produce studio-grade cinematic visuals with greater flexibility and speed.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">This vision led to the development of what the studio calls an AI Content Factory, a modern production system where generative AI models, creative direction, and automated workflows work together to build cinematic storytelling.</span></p>
<h1><strong><span dir="LTR">The AI Content Factory</span></strong></h1>
<p><span dir="LTR">Traditional film production pipelines are often complex, expensive, and time-consuming. Large crews, physical sets, location logistics, and extensive post-production processes can make visual experimentation difficult.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">Eleventh Door Studio approaches production differently.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">Their AI Content Factory integrates artificial intelligence into multiple stages of visual production, including concept visualization, world building, storyboarding, cinematic previsualization, AI-generated visual frames, motion and animation generation, and post-production enhancements.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">This allows creative teams to explore ideas visually before committing to expensive production decisions. Rather than replacing artists, this system amplifies the capabilities of filmmakers, designers, and storytellers.</span></p>
<h1><strong><span dir="LTR">From Concept to Cinematic Worlds</span></strong></h1>
<p><span dir="LTR">One of the biggest advantages of AI-assisted filmmaking is the ability to transform ideas into cinematic visuals quickly.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">At Eleventh Door Studio, generative AI tools help create detailed visual worlds during the earliest stages of development. These visuals communicate key cinematic elements such as lighting and atmosphere, camera composition, environmental design, character aesthetics, and narrative tone and mood.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">For collaborators, brands, and investors, this approach makes it possible to experience the visual language of a project long before production begins.</span></p>
<h1><strong><span dir="LTR">AI in Advertising and Brand Storytelling</span></strong></h1>
<p><span dir="LTR">Beyond filmmaking, Eleventh Door Studio is also applying its AI-driven production workflows to advertising and branded storytelling.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">Modern brands require cinematic content across multiple platforms, including digital campaigns, social media marketing, product launch films, brand storytelling content, and immersive visual experiences.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">AI-assisted pipelines allow creative studios to prototype campaign visuals quickly and test multiple creative directions before committing to full production.</span></p>
<h1><strong><span dir="LTR">Hybrid Filmmaking: Technology Meets Craft</span></strong></h1>
<p><span dir="LTR">Despite the rapid advancement of AI tools, storytelling remains a deeply human craft.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">Eleventh Door Studio operates using a hybrid filmmaking model, combining generative AI technologies with traditional filmmaking expertise. Creative professionals remain central to every project, including directors, cinematographers, designers, editors, and storytellers.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">AI becomes a creative accelerator, helping teams visualize ideas faster and push the boundaries of cinematic storytelling.</span></p>
<h1><strong><span dir="LTR">Recognition at the AI Impact Summit</span></strong></h1>
<p><span dir="LTR">Eleventh Door Studio gained national recognition when its film ‘The King Who Built the Ocean’ was showcased at the AI Impact Summit in India, organized under the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">The showcase was curated by NFDC and WAVES Film Bazaar, and the film was screened at the AI Immersive Theatre at Bharat Mandapam, a 270-degree cinematic projection environment designed for next-generation AI-powered storytelling.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">In addition to the screening, Eleventh Door Studio also hosted a dedicated booth at the summit, where the team presented their AI-driven production workflows and cinematic visual work.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">Important delegates, policymakers, industry leaders, and creative professionals visited the booth and appreciated the visual realism and cinematic quality of the studio’s AI-powered production pipeline.</span></p>
<p><img class="wp-image-102662 size-full aligncenter" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-07-03-26.jpg" alt="Eleventh" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<h1><strong><span dir="LTR">The Future of Cinematic Production</span></strong></h1>
<p><span dir="LTR">The demand for high-quality visual storytelling is growing rapidly across industries. Streaming platforms, digital advertising, immersive media, and global content platforms all require cinematic visuals at scale.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">Generative AI enables filmmakers to explore new creative directions, visualize ideas earlier in the process, and build visual worlds that were previously difficult to produce.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">Studios that successfully combine creative direction, filmmaking craft, and intelligent production systems will define the next generation of visual storytelling.</span></p>
<h1><strong><span dir="LTR">A Studio Designed for the AI Era</span></strong></h1>
<p><span dir="LTR">Eleventh Door Studio represents a new generation of creative companies — studios built for a world where artificial intelligence and cinematic storytelling evolve together.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">By developing advanced AI production pipelines and focusing on cinematic storytelling, the studio aims to create films, advertising campaigns, and original intellectual properties that push the boundaries of modern media.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">At Eleventh Door Studio, the future of cinematic storytelling is already being built. Please Visit for More Information :  <a href="https://eleventhdoor.studio/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>https://eleventhdoor.studio</u></a></span></p>

        <title>Best Crypto Presale in 2026: Spot Bitcoin ETFs Suffer Massive Outflows, Dogeball and Nexchain Fail to Keep Up as the Dying Minutes Tick Down to the DeepSnitch AI March 31st Launch</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p dir="ltr"><strong>New Delhi [India], March 07: </strong>A harsh reality check just slammed the institutional crypto sector, violently interrupting a highly celebrated streak of capital inflows. According to data from SoSoValue, spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the United States suffered a staggering $228 million in net outflows on March 5th alone.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But as money flows out of Bitcoin ETFs, many investors are positioning themselves in crypto presales that offer high value. That’s why the search for the best crypto presale is massive, and it is leading many back to <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presale-2026-spot-bitcoin-etf-outflows-dogeball-nexchain-deepsnitch-march-31-launch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI.</a> It is an AI presale project that has raised more than $1.9 million and is aiming for a massive launch within March.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Spot Bitcoin ETFs bleed $228 million</h2>
<p dir="ltr">This massive capital flight ended a three-day accumulation streak that had previously netted roughly $1.1 billion. Moreover, this dragged the price of the world’s largest digital asset below the critical $71,000 threshold.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Leading this institutional retreat was BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT), which saw an outflow of $89 million in a single session. Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) and the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) followed closely behind, shedding $48 million and $46 million, respectively.</p>
<p dir="ltr">While total assets under management stubbornly remain above the $90 billion mark, the year-to-date net outflows have increased to approximately $900 million.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">The best crypto presale for 100x gains and above</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Discover why DeepSnitch AI has a good chance among other projects as the best crypto presale for 100x gains.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI ($DSNT): Is now the best time to join before the March 31st launch?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The sudden, multi-million-dollar exodus from institutional ETFs is an example of the informational disadvantage that the average crypto user faces. But there’s good news as DeepSnitch AI has built a platform that solves this problem.</p>
<p dir="ltr">When Wall Street decides to sell, retail investors are typically the last to know, absorbing the full impact of the resulting price crash.</p>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI was meticulously built to remove this predatory dynamic. So, it makes all the tools needed by the average investor to stay ahead in the market available. The ecosystem is fully live, offering AI agents like SnitchFeed, SnitchScan, AuditSnitch, and SnitchGPT in a neat interface.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With these new features, investors can scan for vulnerabilities and also find opportunities that make them remain profitable in the market.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But DeepSnitch AI is more than just providing an intelligence and security layer for the average investor. It also gives them the opportunity to earn massive profits through its ongoing presale.</p>
<p dir="ltr">More than $1.9 million has been raised, and the <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presale-2026-spot-bitcoin-etf-outflows-dogeball-nexchain-deepsnitch-march-31-launch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DSNT token</a> has increased by more than 185% from the opening price of $0.0151. The launch is approaching faster than expected, and this could be the only chance to join the best crypto presale in 2026.</p>

<h3 dir="ltr">Dogeball Token: Gaming x Layer 2</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Dogeball Token is an example of a gamified ecosystem that is also within its presale phase. But this doesn’t necessarily mean that it is among the high potential crypto presales. This one is built within an Ethereum Layer 2 environment, and it tries to merge the viral appeal of meme culture with a play-to-earn sports gaming structure.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The underlying blockchain infrastructure promises low transaction fees and interactive reward systems. Any reward players earn within the ecosystem will be directly tethered to in-game achievements and collectible non-fungible tokens. Despite all these, when gamer attention inevitably shifts to a newer, shinier release, the internal reward system collapses.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">NexChain: One of the early investor crypto deals to consider</h3>
<p dir="ltr">NexChain claims that it is building an interoperability solution across multiple fragmented blockchains. More details show that the native token is housed on Ethereum. But the platform aims to function as a universal cross-chain bridge. It will do this by creating secure asset transfers and complex data communication between massive ecosystems like the BNB Chain and the Ethereum mainnet.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Nevertheless, NexChain is entering one of the most dangerous and saturated sectors in the crypto sector. Investors looking for secure, reliable growth are far better served by directing their capital into hyper-lucrative security protocols that actively prevent exploits, like DeepSnitch AI.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Final verdict</h2>
<p dir="ltr">For the best crypto presale in 2026, investors are better off joining presales like DeepSnitch AI. Unlike many that promise numerous roadmaps without building anything, DeepSnitch AI is fully alive with a massive launch hype building.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Use the DSNTVIP50 bonus code to get 50% extra tokens on your purchases. Remember the launch is expected to be on the 31st March, so there’s not much time left.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">What are the benefits of identifying the best crypto presale?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Identifying the best crypto presale allows retail traders to secure their capital within an insulated, early-stage infrastructure.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">What defines the most reliable high potential crypto presales?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The most reliable high potential crypto presales are characterized by transparent fundraising metrics and a fully operational technological utility prior to launch.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Why is autonomous blockchain intelligence the primary type of crypto gaining investor attention?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Autonomous blockchain intelligence is the main type of crypto gaining investor attention because everyday retail traders desperately need enterprise-grade tools to track whale wallets and avoid market manipulation.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-07T171547.122.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Policy Bazaar-PNN"></p><p dir="ltr"><strong>Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], March 07:</strong>  Policybazaar’s flagship event ‘Insurance Ka Superhero’ successfully concluded its fifth edition in Chennai on Tuesday. Organised in association with Star Health Insurance, the event championed the brand’s long-standing commitment to fair and transparent claim settlements. It brought together heartfelt stories behind every successful claim and honoured the ‘Superheroes’ who made it happen along with the support of our insurer partners.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In its partnership with Star Health Insurance, Policybazaar has assisted over 1.7 lakh families over a course of 5 years. The brand has successfully helped process claims worth 620 crores, and holds a stellar CSAT of ~90% when it comes to customer satisfaction. All of these efforts are concentrated towards the single mission of strengthening consumer trust with positive claims experiences in the industry.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The occasion was marked by the leadership from both Policybazaar and Star Health Insurance in attendance. They addressed the customers and the media to emphasise that the thoughtful decision of buying health insurance stands to save people from financial distress.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Addressing the audience, Sarbvir Singh, Joint Group CEO, PB Fintech, said: “Our aim is to make insurance a support system in difficult times, not an obstacle. We recognize that behind every claim is a family navigating a challenging period, often dealing with hospitalization and mounting medical bills. The last thing they need is to be tangled with technicalities. We are stripping away complexity to ensure that all genuine claims are settled without friction. By putting the customer’s needs first, we strengthen the entire industry. We are here to ensure that our customers’ focus remains on recovery, while we handle the rest. Our relationship with Star Health is driven by the shared vision of serving customers when they need us the most.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">Aditya Biyani, Chief Strategy & Investor Relations Officer, Star Health and Allied Insurance Co. Ltd. said, “At Star Health, we believe health insurance proves its value in moments of vulnerability. It is about showing up and standing by when a family is focused on recovery and care. Our role as an insurer is to ensure that financial concerns do not add to that stress. That means keeping the insurance journey aligned with people’s needs including a claims process that is clear, responsive, and centred on the patient. Ultimately, the goal is simple: enabling people to access the care they need with confidence and dignity”.</p>
<p dir="ltr">One of our customers, Mr. Balamurusdan was admitted to Prashanth Super Speciality hospital with Coronary Artery Disease, following a cardiac emergency. Policybazaar’s claim assistance team proactively coordinated with Star Health team, and helped with medical clarity needed to process the claim. After review, the claim was fully approved for ₹3, 58, 533 enabling his smooth recovery without any financial stress.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Another customer Mr. Sathishkumar R said, his children, Mohith (8) and Rithika (5) were hospitalised for Typhus and Typhoid fever. The cashless claim for Mohith was initially denied, citing lack of hospitalisation necessity. Upon escalation, Policybazaar team stepped in and supported the family by providing medical clarifications and coordinating with the insurer for reconsideration. Through persistent follow-ups, the claim was reopened and approved for ₹24,552 ensuring financial relief in a couple of days.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Talking about TN specific trends, Sai Narayan, CMO, Policybazaar, mentioned, “The average renewal rate of Tamil Nadu is even higher than the national average. Renewals are an important marker of consumer satisfaction and it also indicates people choosing continued financial protection for themselves and their families. Through Policybazaar’s initiatives like Insurance Ka Superhero and Claim Samadhan Diwas we move beyond digital interfaces to provide face-to-face resolution.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Our strong online presence over the years combined with human touch on the ground ensures favourable and empathetic outcomes for customers looking to get assistance with their claims.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-06T165806.020.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Next Crypto to Explode: DeepSnitch AI Rallies 185% Ahead of March 31 Launch as “Top Altcoins” Like LINK and ETH Keep Falling -PNN"></p><p dir="ltr"><strong>New Delhi [India], March 07:</strong> SoFi Technologies has partnered with BitGo to launch SoFiUSD, a new dollar-pegged stablecoin issued by a nationally chartered US bank.</p>
<p dir="ltr">That move highlights something important: traditional finance is rapidly merging with blockchain infrastructure, and the scale of capital entering the market could reshape how digital assets evolve.</p>
<p dir="ltr">That’s one of the reasons <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=next-crypto-to-explode-deepsnitch-ethereum-chainlink" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> has started attracting attention from traders and large investors, with the presale quickly moving ahead of Pepeto and other meme-coin presales.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The project has now raised more than $1.9 million, with over 42 million tokens staked, signaling strong early confidence in the protocol. Here’s why investors bet on DSNT being the next crypto to explode in 2026.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">SoFi Technologies partners with BitGo to launch a stablecoin</h2>
<p dir="ltr">SoFi Technologies has partnered with BitGo to provide infrastructure for SoFiUSD, a new US dollar-pegged stablecoin issued by SoFi Bank. Through BitGo’s “stablecoin-as-a-service” platform, the company will handle the token’s issuance and connect it with payment providers, exchanges, and market participants.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The stablecoin will operate on a public blockchain and is notable for being issued by a nationally chartered and insured US deposit bank, marking a significant step toward integrating traditional banking with digital asset infrastructure.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This development signals growing institutional confidence in regulated stablecoins and shows how banks and fintech companies are building the infrastructure needed for digital dollars to compete with traditional payment systems.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Top 3 next crypto to explode: DeepSnitch AI, Ethereum, and Chainlink</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI</h3>
<p dir="ltr">In finance and crypto, the people who make the biggest money are usually the ones who get the information first. By the time a token starts trending on X or YouTube, much of the upside has already happened. DeepSnitch AI aims to shift that dynamic by giving everyday traders access to the blockchain intelligence that previously sat behind institutional trading desks.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The platform analyzes on-chain data, smart contracts, and project activity, transforming complex blockchain signals into insights that traders can actually use. Instead of chasing hype after a project explodes, users can evaluate opportunities earlier and make more informed decisions.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Tools like this become even more valuable as institutional adoption expands. Developments such as the SoFiUSD stablecoin launch show that banks and fintech firms are building directly on blockchain infrastructure.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As that ecosystem grows, so does the need for platforms capable of analyzing contracts, tracking project activity, and identifying potential risks before capital moves. That growing demand is one reason the DeepSnitch AI presale has attracted strong investor attention.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The project has already raised over $1.93 million, and the DSNT token price has climbed roughly 185% to around $0.04313 during stage six.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Early participants also receive additional token bonuses, giving them greater exposure before exchange listings begin. With <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=next-crypto-to-explode-deepsnitch-ethereum-chainlink" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> already live and adoption gradually increasing, many investors see it as the next crypto to explode into a 100x rally.</p>
<p dir="ltr"></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Ethereum</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Ethereum shows fresh strength after bouncing from below $1,800 and climbing toward $2,200 on March 5th. The move marks a roughly 25% recovery and has caught traders’ attention. Momentum now starts to shift, making ETH one of the next cryptos to explode.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Derivatives data support the change. Net taker volume has turned positive after nearly two months of selling. That shift often signals fading sell pressure. It can also trigger short covering and fast rebounds as positions adjust.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Institutional demand also returns. The Coinbase Premium Index has moved back above zero, showing stronger U.S. buying. Spot Ether ETFs recorded about $169 million in daily inflows.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Technically, $2,100 now acts as key support. If buyers hold that level, price could push toward $2,500–$2,600. A drop below $1,750 would weaken the recovery.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Chainlink</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Chainlink traded near $9.30 on March 5th as the price steadied despite global market uncertainty. LINK moves inside a tight range between $8 support and $10 resistance. Buyers and sellers now hold a temporary balance while the market waits for direction.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A new development supports long-term sentiment. Visa ran a cross-border settlement pilot with ANZ, ChinaAMC, and Fidelity International. The test used Chainlink’s oracle system to settle tokenized assets across public and private blockchains.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Momentum still favors buyers, which makes investors believe LINK could be the next crypto to explode. MACD stays above its signal line, and RSI holds near 53. A break above $10 could send LINK toward $11.52 and $13.53. If $9.08 fails, the price may drop back toward $8.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">The bottom line</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Blue-chip altcoins like Ethereum and Chainlink still play an important role in most crypto portfolios, but the era of effortless 100x returns from established giants has largely passed.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Projects at earlier stages often offer more asymmetric opportunities.</p>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI sits at that early stage today, still in presale at roughly $0.04313 while tapping into two massive market trends: the rapidly expanding AI sector and a global crypto user base now exceeding 100 million traders searching for better data and smarter signals.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With the DSNT token scheduled to launch on Uniswap on March 31, the opportunity for investors to still enter the next crypto to explode at presale levels is narrowing.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">Why are banks launching stablecoins now?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Institutions like SoFi Technologies partnering with BitGo reflect accelerating crypto adoption. Stablecoins allow banks to enable faster payments while connecting traditional finance with blockchain infrastructure.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Can established altcoins still deliver strong upside?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Large networks like Ethereum and Chainlink remain important infrastructure plays. While 100x gains are unlikely, continued adoption and ecosystem growth can still support strong long-term performance.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Why do traders watch presales for bigger gains?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Presales often represent speculative opportunities because tokens launch before reaching wider market exposure. Early access allows investors to capture potential upside if adoption increases after exchange listings.</p>

        <title>Best Crypto Presale March 2026: DeepSnitch AI’s 185 Percent Presale Rally Ahead of March 31 Launch Puts SpyDoge and OneXfer Under Pressure</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/best-crypto-presale-march-2026-deepsnitch-ais-185-percent-presale-rally-ahead-of-march-31-launch-puts-spydoge-and-onexfer-under-pressure-16364</link>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-12.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Best Crypto Presale March 2026: DeepSnitch AI’s 185 Percent Presale Rally Ahead of March 31 Launch Puts SpyDoge and OneXfer Under Pressure-PNN"></p><div class="col-12 col-lg-12 col-xl-12 ">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12 col-sm-7 col-lg-7">On March 5, crypto stocks exploded across the board. Coinbase jumped more than 14% in a single session. Strategy, the Bitcoin treasury company, spiked over 10%. Miners Hut 8 and American Bitcoin Corp gained 13.89% and 11.65%, respectively.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-12 col-lg-12 col-xl-12 ">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12 col-sm-7 col-lg-7">
<p dir="ltr">Bitcoin itself climbed 7.6% to $72,866 while Ethereum ran 8.3% to $2,132. This is not a random green day.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This is the market pricing in a complete regulatory reset after Trump publicly pushed Congress to pass the Clarity Act, called out banks for stalling crypto legislation, and said plainly that in crypto, the US wants to be dominant.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In this scenario, the smart money does not wait around for confirmation before positioning, and right now that positioning is going into <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presale-to-buy-now-in-march-2026-deepsnitch-ai-spydoge-onexfer" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">DeepSnitch AI, </a>where whale tracking, contract audits, and real-time AI signals are already running in a live dashboard at a discounted presale price.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Coinbase is up 14%, Bitcoin is up 7.6%, regulators are moving on the same day: Bull run incoming?</h2>
<p dir="ltr">When <a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/COIN:NASDAQ?sa=X&sqi=2&ved=2ahUKEwiww6ix_4eTAxW1RmwGHWVmL1QQ3ecFKAV6BAgvEAY" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Coinbase jumps 14%</a> in a single day, every trader’s first question is not what happened but who made it happen, and the answer is institutional money that has decided the US regulatory picture for crypto is about to get a lot cleaner.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Zeus Research analyst Dominick John told Cointelegraph that this is exactly what is driving the move, with crypto equities repricing as regulatory risk gets taken off the table. The CFTC and SEC both filed crypto regulatory actions on the same day, and Trump is pushing the Clarity Act through Congress.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Swyftx analyst Pav Hundal described it simply as a policy premium inflating everything crypto right now. Every trader who has been through a cycle before knows this is the part of the movie where altcoins start running, and the people already in the best crypto presale picks are the ones who end up with the most interesting stories to tell when it is all over.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Best crypto presale for March 2026</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. DeepSnitch AI (DSNT)</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Every scan of crypto launchpad projects running in this market right now puts <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presale-to-buy-now-in-march-2026-deepsnitch-ai-spydoge-onexfer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> at the top of the list for one reason that none of the others can match: you are not buying promises.</p>
<p dir="ltr">You are buying five live AI trading tools at $0.04313 per token, which is less than what most people spend on a candy bar.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With Feed, you are getting live market signals delivered continuously, so the move that blindsides everyone else is just another data point you already saw coming. With Scan, you are watching the wallets that actually move markets before they move them, so you stop being the person who buys the top of someone else’s exit.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With CastGPT, you have an AI analyst in your pocket who will break down any setup you bring to it, any time of day, without charging you by the hour.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With Audit, you are checking the smart contract before your money touches it, so you never become the cautionary tale someone else posts about in a Discord.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With Explorer, you are pulling the complete on-chain history of anything you want to research, so you go into every trade with your eyes fully open and your decisions grounded in what actually happened.</p>
<p dir="ltr">$DSNT launched at $0.0151, already clocked 185% to $0.04313, has pulled in $1.92M from early believers, passed dual smart contract audits from CoinSult and SolidProof, and now has Binance and MEXC listing rumors circulating loudly.</p>
<p dir="ltr">That’s because DeepSnitch AI presale ends soon, on March 31, and some are expecting this AI bet to generate considerable returns in the long term.</p>
<p dir="ltr">That’s because, among all verified blockchain startups in this presale cycle, nothing else comes close to this combination of live utility, clean audits, exchange-level rumors, and the parabolic upside it offers.</p>
<p dir="ltr"></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. SpyDoge (SPYD)</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Among crypto launchpad projects running a pure community momentum play this cycle, SpyDoge is the one that keeps coming up in conversations for good reason.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Built on Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain, SPYD wraps the viral power of Doge meme culture around a spy-agent narrative featuring Agent Banana, a Shiba Inu character who trades weapons for a banana, giving it the kind of personality that spreads fast on social media without needing a single paid push.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The project is currently in Stage 13 of its presale at $0.0012 per token with over $118K raised. The confirmed listing target is $0.06, which shows a potential 40x for traders getting in at current presale pricing.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">3. OneXfer (XFX)</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Among early access token sales building real financial infrastructure this cycle, OneXfer is the one with the most straightforward problem-solution fit. The platform blends DeFi, AI, and fiat interoperability to tackle cross-border payments, a market where traditional rails charge excessive fees and take days to settle transactions that blockchain can handle in seconds.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The presale price is currently sitting at $0.0009 per token with a projected launch price near $0.153, showing a potential 170x return for traders who get in at current presale pricing before the token generation event.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The presale runs through July 5, 2026, giving traders more runway to position than most verified blockchain startups with closer deadlines.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The DeFi infrastructure thesis is solid, and the problem it is solving is real and massive. The tools are still approaching launch, though rather than running today, which is the gap that keeps it behind DeepSnitch AI for traders who want live utility in their hands right now.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion: DeepSnitch AI leads the best crypto presale race in March 2026</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Among early access token sales, SpyDoge has the meme craze and a clean 40x listing case. OneXfer has the infrastructure thesis and a 170x presale-to-listing target that holds up on paper.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But if you want the best crypto presale where the utility is running today, and the market cap is small enough to produce the generational wealth kind of returns, traders keep coming back to DeepSnitch AI.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Get into the <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presale-to-buy-now-in-march-2026-deepsnitch-ai-spydoge-onexfer" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">official DeepSnitch AI presale</a> now while the 300% bonus is still running and lock in the official <a href="https://x.com/deepsnitchai">X account</a> and <a href="https://x.com/deepsnitchai">Telegram</a> so $DSNT listing news hits your phone before it hits anyone else’s feed.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">Which best crypto presale has the strongest case for traders who want live utility right now?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI is the only best crypto presale with five working AI tools inside a live dashboard at $0.04313. There is no waitlist and no roadmap dependency. You buy your $DSNT, log in, and the tools are already running for you today.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">How do verified blockchain startups like OneXfer and SpyDoge compare in terms of presale risk versus DeepSnitch AI?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">SpyDoge and OneXfer are solid verified blockchain startups but both carry roadmap execution risk since their biggest features are still ahead. DeepSnitch AI has already shipped, which removes the biggest single risk factor in any presale investment.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Why do traders keep calling DeepSnitch AI the best crypto presale over every other option running this March?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Because $1.94M raised, 185% already gained, five live AI tools, a 300% bonus, and a 500x target pointing to $21 per token do not exist in the same entry anywhere else in the market right now. That is why the best crypto presale conversation always ends at $DSNT.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/last.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Best Crypto to Buy Now for March 2026: Traders Position for DeepSnitch AI’s March 31 Launch While ONDO and Kaspa Drift-PNN"></p><p dir="ltr">On March 4, Trump officially sent Kevin Warsh’s nomination to the Senate to serve as the next Chair of the Federal Reserve, and this is not just a political headline.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A pro-Bitcoin Fed Chair replacing Jerome Powell in May is the kind of macro shift that changes how institutional money positions in crypto at the deepest level.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In this chaos, <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-to-buy-now-in-march-2026-deepsnitch-ai-ondo-kaspa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> is already live with smart money wallet tracking, AI-powered contract audits, and real-time market signals, which means right now you are buying five working trading tools at presale pricing, while the wider market is still figuring out what a pro-Bitcoin Fed Chair means for prices.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">What a pro-bitcoin Fed chair actually means for crypto market in 2026</h2>
<p dir="ltr">When a new <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/03/nominations-sent-to-the-senate-b376/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fed Chair </a>comes in who publicly views Bitcoin as a legitimate asset that disciplines policymakers, the market reads that as the single most powerful institutional signal the crypto space has ever had.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Warsh has also been linked to rate reduction expectations, which means looser monetary policy could be arriving at the exact same time as pro-crypto legislation is being forced through by the White House.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Cheaper money plus a crypto-friendly Fed plus Trump pushing the Clarity Act through before midterms is the trifecta that the cryptocurrency market outlook has been waiting for all cycle.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Traders who understand digital asset investment trends know that the biggest moves in altcoins always start when macro clarity arrives, and retail is still sleeping. The crowd is still scared right now. The window to load up on the best crypto to buy now is still wide open, but it will not be for long.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Best crypto to buy now bull run picks: DeepSnitch AI, ONDO, and Kaspa</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. DeepSnitch AI (DSNT): The best crypto to buy now ahead of March 31 launch</h3>
<p dir="ltr">When you scan every bullish crypto setup running in this market today, <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-to-buy-now-in-march-2026-deepsnitch-ai-ondo-kaspa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI </a>keeps coming out on top because you are not buying a roadmap or a promise.</p>
<p dir="ltr">You are buying a working product that is already running inside a live dashboard, while the price is still at presale levels.</p>
<p dir="ltr">You get Feed delivering real-time market signals, so nothing catches you off guard. Scan follows smart money wallet movements before price moves happen, so you stop chasing and start leading. Cast GPT puts a professional AI market analyst in your corner around the clock whenever you need a read on a setup.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Audit checks every smart contract before your capital goes near it, so you never get rugged on a bad deployment. Explorer pulls the complete on-chain history of any token or wallet, so every trade you make is backed by real data.</p>
<p dir="ltr">$DSNT was initially priced  at $0.0151 and already moved 185% to $0.04313. It has pulled in $1.92M from people who smelled opportunity before the crowd did, and right now, a $30k entry with the 300% bonus hands you approximately 2.78 million tokens at the cheapest price this coin will ever trade at.</p>
<p dir="ltr">After launch, at just $5 per token, that stack is worth $13.9 million, which is the kind of number that pays off mortgages, funds retirements, and changes what your Monday morning looks like permanently.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Time is now running out, however. The launch has been announced on March 31, and trading will start shortly after. $DSNT will be available on Uniswap, but there’s rumor that more DEXs and CEXs will follow shortly after, given the flourishing demand that this presale has demonstrated so far.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Among every best crypto to buy now candidate in the presale space, DSNT is the only one where the tools are live, the cap is tiny, and the entry price still makes the math this clean.</p>
<p dir="ltr"></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. ONDO (Ondo Finance)</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Digital asset investment trends in 2026 keep pointing back to RWA tokenization as the sector with the most institutional tailwind, and ONDO is the dominant name in that space right now. The token is currently trading around $0.26 on March 5, down roughly 87% from its all-time high of $2.14 set on December 16, 2024.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The fundamentals behind that price are not weak at all. Ondo’s TVL hit $2.5 billion in January 2026 alone, a 31% increase in just 30 days. The platform already has over 100 tokenized US stocks and ETFs live on-chain, recently secured Abu Dhabi Global Market approval to offer digital securities in the Middle East, and counts Goldman Sachs, Fidelity, and Coinbase among its institutional partners.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The cryptocurrency market outlook for ONDO in a bull cycle puts the 2026 bullish target at $1.16 according to analyst projections, representing roughly a 4x from today’s price for traders who buy the dip before rate sentiment fully shifts.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">3. Kaspa (KAS)</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The bullish crypto setups surrounding Kaspa come down to one thing: it is the most technically advanced proof-of-work blockchain ever built, and it is sitting at a price that does not reflect that at all. KAS is currently trading at around $0.03 on March 5, down 84.5% from its all-time high of $0.2074 set in August 2024.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The 2026 bullish analyst target puts KAS between $0.50 and $0.70, representing a potential 15x to 20x from current levels for traders patient enough to hold through the cycle. It has strong architecture, a clean supply, and real miner conviction behind it.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Kaspa is a legitimate cycle recovery trade with real architecture behind it, but buying KAS at $0.032 and waiting for a 15x is a very different conversation from dropping into a presale at $0.04313, where the 300% bonus, the live utility, and the 500x math are all sitting on the table at the same time.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion: Time is running out for DeepSnitch AI</h2>
<p dir="ltr">A pro-Bitcoin Fed Chair nomination heading to Senate confirmation at the same time as Trump is forcing crypto legislation forward is the kind of overlapping signal that serious traders only see once or twice per cycle.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Cryptocurrency market outlook indicators are all pointing toward a clearing event that unlocks the next wave of institutional and retail capital into crypto.</p>
<p dir="ltr">ONDO has the RWA fundamentals, and KAS has the cleanest PoW architecture in the space, and both will reward traders who hold them with patience through this cycle.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But the best crypto to buy now for the traders who want the setup where a $30k entry becomes $13.9M is sitting in DeepSnitch AI, and every day you spend comparing is a day closer to the presale closing at this price permanently.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The DeepSnitch AI presale is live, and the clock on this entry price is running, so jump in through the <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-to-buy-now-in-march-2026-deepsnitch-ai-ondo-kaspa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">official site</a>, hit follow on <a href="https://x.com/deepsnitchai">X</a>, join the Telegram, and make sure listing news reaches you before it reaches everyone else.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">Why is Kevin Warsh’s nomination the biggest, best crypto to buy now signal of the cycle?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">A pro-Bitcoin Fed Chair controlling US monetary policy is the macro setup traders dream about. The best crypto to buy now, before that confirmation hits, is exactly where the 1000x early positions in this cycle get built.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">What makes DeepSnitch AI the top bullish crypto setup over ONDO and KAS right now?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">ONDO and KAS need the broader bull run to arrive before they move meaningfully. DeepSnitch AI is a bullish crypto setup where live AI utility is already generating demand at $0.04313 with a 500x target that does not require a top-ten market cap to deliver.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Is there still time to get the best crypto to buy now, DeepSnitch AI, before the listing changes the price?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The 300% bonus is still running, and the presale is still open at $0.04313, which means yes, the best crypto to buy now window on DSNT is still live today, but not for long, as the presale closes March 31.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p align="justify"><span><span lang="en-US">Have you noticed something interesting online? Many young creators in India are searching the same thing again and again and the words are “How to Start My Own Podcast.” It is happening because podcasting has become a strong digital trend in India. Influencers, students, entrepreneurs and even actors are starting their own shows. Mumbai has always been the centre of media. Radio stations, film studios and TV production houses grew here for decades. Now podcast creators also want the same professional space.</span></span></p>
<p align="justify"><span><span lang="en-US">People often ask one question. Can a podcast become successful if audio quality is poor? Most experts say no. That is why studio recording is becoming popular. One interesting detail is location. Many podcast creators are now choosing Andheri in Mumbai for recording. Why Andheri? The reason is simple. For years this area has been filled with production houses, film studios and media companies. Many actors and digital creators work nearby. Among these studios, RV Rising Studio in Andheri is getting attention from podcast creators as one of the best podcast studio. The studio is run by RV Rising Pvt Ltd. The team offers recording space specially designed for podcasts.</span></span></p>
<p align="justify"><span><span lang="en-US">People who visited say the environment feels creative. Cameras, lights and microphones are already placed. So creators focus on conversation instead of technical problems. Many beginners ask a simple question. What does a professional podcast studio in Mumbai actually provide? The answer is equipment and controlled space. A studio like RV Rising Podcast Studio usually offers soundproof recording rooms. This stops outside sounds like vehicles or street noise. Good microphones capture clear voice. Cameras are available for video podcasts. Lighting helps create sharp visuals for YouTube and social media clips. Some creators also say the studio team helps during recording. Equipment is checked before the session starts. That means fewer technical mistakes. People often say editing becomes easier later because the audio quality is already clean.</span></span></p>
<p align="justify"><span><span lang="en-US">At first many creators try recording from home. It sounds simple. But problems appear quickly. Issues like noise from neighbours, ceiling fan sound and even traffic horns enter the audio. Many podcasters later realise editing takes hours. Sometimes the final result still sounds weak. Listeners notice these issues immediately. Research about podcast audience behaviour shows something interesting. If audio quality feels bad, many listeners stop listening within minutes. That is why professional podcast recording spaces like RV Rising Studio Mumbai are becoming attractive. Creators feel their work sounds serious and reliable when recorded in a proper studio.</span></span></p>
<p align="justify"><span><span lang="en-US">Podcast industry in India is growing faster than expected. The growth of podcasts in India is not accidental. The country has a long history of audio storytelling. Radio has been popular here for almost a century. Many families grew up listening to shows on All India Radio. Today podcasts are becoming the digital version of that experience. The difference is freedom. Anyone can start a show now. Topics range from education and business to comedy and celebrity interviews.</span></span></p>
<p align="justify"><span><span lang="en-US">Many influencers and actors have already started podcast channels. Some Mumbai creators even say weekend studio slots are getting full quickly. People online often ask, “Should we book early?” Many regular users answer yes. The question for new creators is simple. Keep searching podcast studio Mumbai again and again? Or step inside a studio like RV Rising Studio in Andheri and start recording the first episode?</span></span></p>

        <title>Top 5 Common HDD Error Codes: What They Mean and Why They Shouldn’t Be Ignored</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/top-5-common-hdd-error-codes-what-they-mean-and-why-they-shouldnt-be-ignored</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/top-5-common-hdd-error-codes-what-they-mean-and-why-they-shouldnt-be-ignored</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-06T153307.437.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="HDD Error Codes-PNN"></p><p dir="ltr"><strong>New Delhi [India], March 06</strong>: Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) continue to power millions of desktops, surveillance systems, servers, and enterprise storage environments. Despite the rise of SSDs, HDDs remain essential for bulk storage and long-term archival systems. However, like all mechanical devices, they are subject to wear and eventual failure.</p>
<p dir="ltr">When a hard drive begins to fail, it rarely does so silently. Instead, it generates system alerts, often in the form of cryptic error codes during boot, file access, or diagnostics. According to specialists at Stellar Data Recovery, many catastrophic data loss cases are preceded by warning signs that users overlook or delay acting upon.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Understanding these signals can mean the difference between routine troubleshooting and permanent data loss.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Below are five of the most significant and commonly encountered HDD error codes, spanning BIOS warnings, hardware diagnostics, and Windows-level failures.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">1. SMART Hard Disk Error 301 – Failure Predicted</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) system is designed to detect early signs of disk deterioration. When predefined thresholds are exceeded, systems display:</p>
<p dir="ltr">“<a href="https://www.stellarinfo.co.in/blog/301-hard-drive-error/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SMART Hard Disk Error 301 – Backup and replace</a>.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">This warning indicates that internal drive parameters such as reallocated sectors, read/write error rates, or spin retry counts have crossed safe operational limits.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Technical experts note that SMART 301 is frequently associated with physical wear of platter surfaces or head instability. While the drive may continue to function temporarily, the risk of sudden failure increases significantly.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Professionals recommend immediately backing up critical information and minimizing further stress on the drive. In enterprise environments, proactive replacement is strongly advised once this alert appears.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">2. Boot Device Not Found / Disk Boot Failure</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Few errors create more urgency than a system that refuses to boot.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Common messages include:</p>
<p dir="ltr">“<a href="https://www.stellarinfo.co.in/blog/how-to-fix-boot-device-not-found-3f0-error/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boot Device Not Found</a>”<br>
“Disk Boot Failure”<br>
“No Bootable Device Detected”</p>
<p dir="ltr">This error occurs when the BIOS cannot locate valid boot instructions on the hard disk.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Possible causes include:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Corrupted Master Boot Record (MBR)</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Damaged boot sector</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Incorrect BIOS configuration</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Failing drive hardware</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Loose or faulty SATA connections</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">In many cases reviewed by recovery engineers, repeated power interruptions or improper shutdowns contribute to boot sector corruption. While logical repair may resolve some cases, physical degradation in critical sectors often requires controlled imaging to prevent further data loss.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">3. Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) Error</h2>
<p dir="ltr">CRC errors occur when Windows detects inconsistencies during data verification.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Typical message:</p>
<p dir="ltr">“<a href="https://www.stellarinfo.co.in/blog/fix-cyclic-redundancy-check-error/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Data error (cyclic redundancy check)</a>.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">CRC functions as a data integrity validation method. When it fails, it indicates that stored data does not match expected values.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Frequent causes include:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Bad sectors</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Surface degradation</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Faulty cables</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">File system corruption</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">Repeated CRC errors are often early indicators of progressive media damage. Experts caution that aggressive retries or forced scans can worsen sector instability and reduce the likelihood of successful recovery.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">4. Error Code 0x80070570 – File or Directory Is Corrupted and Unreadable</h2>
<p dir="ltr">This Windows error commonly appears during file transfers, installations, or when accessing external drives.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“<a href="https://www.stellarinfo.co.in/blog/what-is-error-0x80070570-and-how-to-fix-it/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable or Error Code 0x80070570.</a>”</p>
<p dir="ltr">Although it may initially seem like a minor logical issue, it can indicate:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">NTFS file system corruption</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Improper ejection of external drives</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Sudden shutdown events</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Developing bad sectors</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">Such errors frequently surface in shared storage environments or backup drives exposed to inconsistent power conditions.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If the corruption is purely logical, repair utilities may restore access. However, when linked to underlying sector damage, specialized recovery processes are often required to safely extract data.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">5. Hard Drive Error Code 0142 – Self-Test Failure</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Error Code 0142 typically appears during OEM hardware diagnostics, particularly in pre-boot testing environments.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This <a href="https://www.stellarinfo.co.in/kb/how-to-fix-dell-hard-drive-error-2000-0142.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hard Drive Error Code 0142</a> code indicates that the hard drive has failed an internal self-test.</p>
<p dir="ltr">From a technical perspective, it often points to:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Platter surface damage</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Head misalignment</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Firmware inconsistencies</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Mechanical wear</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">Unlike file system errors, 0142 is primarily hardware-related. Continued use after this alert can significantly reduce recovery success rates, as mechanical instability may worsen.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Professionals advise minimizing drive operation and seeking expert evaluation when such diagnostic failures occur.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Why These Errors Matter</h2>
<p dir="ltr">One recurring pattern observed across recovery cases is delayed response. Many users continue operating drives even after receiving early warnings.</p>
<p dir="ltr">HDDs typically fail progressively. Initial symptoms may include:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Slower read and write performance</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Occasional system freezes</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Intermittent file corruption</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">Over time, these signs escalate into complete drive failure.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Industry experts emphasize that early detection dramatically improves recovery outcomes. Sector-by-sector imaging, controlled diagnostics, and cleanroom intervention when necessary are most effective before catastrophic mechanical damage occurs.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Preventive Measures for Organizations and Individuals</h2>
<p dir="ltr">To reduce HDD-related data loss risks, IT professionals recommend:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Routine SMART monitoring</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Maintaining verified offline backups</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Avoiding abrupt shutdowns</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Ensuring proper ventilation and cooling</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Proactive replacement of aging drives</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">For enterprises managing surveillance storage, RAID systems, or archival repositories, structured backup strategies remain critical for operational continuity.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Final Perspective</h2>
<p dir="ltr">HDD error codes are not merely technical alerts. They are predictive indicators of storage health.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Whether it is SMART 301 signaling imminent failure, CRC errors revealing surface inconsistencies, or boot failures blocking system access, each warning presents an opportunity to act before permanent data loss occurs.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As highlighted by experts at<a href="https://www.stellarinfo.co.in/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Stellar Data Recovery,</a> timely diagnosis and controlled intervention remain the most important factors in safeguarding digital assets.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In the world of data storage, early response is strategic and essential.</p>

        <title>Umi Matcha Is Bringing Real Japanese Matcha to India, Sourced Straight from the Farms of Japan</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/umi-matcha-is-bringing-real-japanese-matcha-to-india-sourced-straight-from-the-farms-of-japan-16352</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/umi-matcha-is-bringing-real-japanese-matcha-to-india-sourced-straight-from-the-farms-of-japan-16352</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-06T142532.668.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Umi Matcha -PNN"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], March 06:</strong> Most of what gets sold as matcha in India barely resembles what people in Japan actually drink. <a href="https://www.umimatchashop.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Umi Matcha</a> is changing that.</p>
<p>The brand sources its green tea directly from organic farms in Japan, from quiet valleys of Kyoto to the foothills of the volcanic soils in Kagoshima that has been growing some of Japan’s finest matcha for centuries. No distributors, no blending, no compromises. Just the real thing, shipped straight to your door.</p>
<h2>The Place Behind the Product</h2>
<p>Wazuka isn’t well known outside Japan, but among tea growers and enthusiasts, it holds a particular reputation. The valley’s high altitude, clean mountain water, and cool misty climate create conditions that are genuinely difficult to replicate elsewhere. Tea grown here has a depth of flavour and a natural sweetness that sets it apart from matcha produced in other regions.</p>
<p>Kagoshima, in southern Japan, is the nation’s second-largest tea-producing area and a leading source of premium, often organically grown matcha. The region’s fertile volcanic soil, enriched by ash from Sakurajima, combined with its warm subtropical weather and plentiful rainfall, creates ideal conditions for tea cultivation. These factors contribute to matcha with a vivid green hue, gentle natural sweetness, and a full-bodied, lingering umami depth.</p>
<p>Umi Matcha works exclusively with certified organic farms in this region, some of which have been cultivating tea for over 300 years. These aren’t large commercial operations. They’re family-run farms where knowledge of the land gets passed from one generation to the next, and where the quality of the leaf still matters more than the volume of the harvest.</p>
<h2>Why Direct Sourcing Makes a Difference</h2>
<p>A lot of matcha brands source their tea through intermediaries or blend leaves from different farms to hit a price point. The result is usually a product that looks like matcha but lacks the character of the original.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.umimatchashop.com/blogs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Umi Matcha</a> goes directly to the source. Leaves are harvested at the right time of year, stone-milled in small batches, and shipped to customers while still fresh. This process protects the things that make ceremonial-grade matcha worth drinking in the first place: the bright green colour, the smooth texture, and that naturally sweet, umami-rich flavour that doesn’t need sugar or milk to taste good.</p>
<h2>The Products</h2>
<p>Umi Matcha’s lineup is built around a few thoughtfully chosen products. The <strong>Nakai Okumidori Matcha </strong>and <strong>Haru Matcha </strong>are both ceremonial grade, single-origin, first-flush teas. First flush means the leaves are picked during the very first harvest of the season, when they carry the highest concentration of nutrients and the most refined flavour. These teas are smooth and floral with none of the bitterness that puts people off lower-grade matcha.</p>
<p>The <strong>Nakai Okumidori Matcha</strong> is another option worth mentioning. It’s 100% certified organic from Wazuka, stone-milled in small batches, and has a distinctive, bold and creamy taste that works well both in traditional preparation and in drinks.</p>
<p>For those who want to go the traditional route, the <strong>Umi Matcha Tea Kit</strong> has everything needed to prepare matcha properly, including a matcha bowl, bamboo whisk, whisk holder, bamboo scoop, sieve and their ceremonial grade matcha. For days when time is short, the <strong>MixCha Instant Premix</strong> makes it easy to make ceremonial-grade matcha without any of the traditional preparation.</p>
<h2>No Pesticides, No Fillers</h2>
<p>All of Umi Matcha’s products come from farms with certified organic status. That means no synthetic pesticides, no chemical fertilisers, and nothing added to improve appearance or extend shelf life. Before harvest, the tea plants are shaded for several months. This step slows growth, which pushes the plant to produce more chlorophyll, L-Theanine, and natural sweetness. It’s a traditional technique, and it’s a big part of why properly made ceremonial matcha tastes the way it does.</p>
<h2>Matcha as a Daily Ritual</h2>
<p>In Japan, matcha is less of a trend and more of a practice. It’s been part of everyday life for centuries, not just as something to drink but as a moment to slow down and pay attention. The L-Theanine in matcha is known to promote calm, focused energy without the jitteriness and crash that comes with coffee. Combined with its antioxidant content and natural chlorophyll, it’s one of the more genuinely beneficial things you can add to your daily routine.</p>
<p>Umi Matcha is bringing that same practice to India, for people who take what they put in their body seriously and want something that connects to a real tradition rather than a marketing story.</p>
<h2>Where to Find It</h2>

<h2><strong>From 113kg to 82kg: A Journey of Discipline</strong></h2>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-70919" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-06T122422.276-2.jpg" alt="Lucky Badgujar’s 31kg Transformation in Just 4 Months Goes Viral Ahead of His Upcoming Films-PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p><strong>113 kgs weight for Emerald Green look</strong></p>
<p>Lucky Badgujar’s transformation began after completing his role in the OTT film <em>Emerald Green</em>. For that particular project, the actor had intentionally gained weight and reached <strong>113 kilograms</strong>, as required by the director for the character.</p>
<p>However, his upcoming film projects demanded a much leaner appearance. Determined to adapt to his new roles, Lucky committed himself to a strict lifestyle that helped him shed <strong>31 kilograms in just 120 days</strong>.</p>
<p>What makes this transformation particularly impressive is that he achieved it through <strong>a disciplined vegetarian diet and a consistent walking routine</strong>, without relying on shortcuts or extreme fitness methods.</p>
<p>Speaking about the experience, Lucky shared that seeing progress on the weighing scale became a major source of motivation during the process.</p>
<p>“When the scale shows progress, the dopamine rush is real,” Lucky said. “For an actor, the body is the first tool of expression. I am very serious about my career, and if a role demands transformation, I am ready to give my 200 percent.”</p>
<p>He added that while the journey was challenging, the struggle itself gave him satisfaction and motivation to keep pushing forward.</p>
<h2><strong>Focused on Fitness and Future Roles</strong></h2>
<p>After completing his weight-loss journey, Lucky has now taken the next step in his fitness routine. The actor has recently <strong>started gym training</strong> to further refine his physique and enhance his on-screen presence.</p>
<p>His goal is to achieve an even more sculpted and powerful look by <strong>December 2026</strong>, aligning with the physical requirements of his upcoming film projects.</p>
<p>In the entertainment industry, physical transformation often reflects an actor’s commitment to authenticity, and Lucky Badgujar’s dedication has already started generating conversations within film circles.</p>
<h2><strong>Major Projects in the Pipeline</strong></h2>
<p>Lucky Badgujar’s transformation comes at a time when his career is moving toward an exciting phase with multiple promising projects.</p>
<p>The actor is currently working under the direction of <strong>Bhavesh Patil</strong>, with projects being produced under the banner of <strong>Bhavesh Production</strong>.</p>
<h3><strong>Historical Film – <em>Shaheed Shirish Kumar</em></strong></h3>
<p>One of the most anticipated projects in his lineup is the historical drama <strong>“Shaheed Shirish Kumar.”</strong> The film is based on the inspiring life of the legendary young freedom fighter Shirish Kumar, who became a symbol of courage during India’s independence movement.</p>
<p>While the story highlights the powerful youth movement led by Shirish Kumar, Lucky Badgujar plays a <strong>pivotal and influential character</strong> that adds depth to the narrative.</p>
<p>The film aims to bring attention to the sacrifices made by young revolutionaries who played an important role in India’s freedom struggle.</p>
<h3><strong>Upcoming Suspense Thriller</strong></h3>
<p>In addition to the historical project, Lucky is also working on a <strong>concept-driven suspense thriller</strong> with another prominent production house. The title and details of the project are currently being kept confidential.</p>
<p>According to sources close to the project, the film will showcase Lucky in a <strong>completely new and intense avatar</strong>, with his newly achieved <strong>82 kg lean look</strong> playing an important role in the character’s presentation.</p>
<h2><strong>A Transformation That Inspires</strong></h2>
<p>Lucky Badgujar’s journey from <strong>113 kg to 82 kg in just four months</strong> is more than a physical transformation—it is a reflection of determination, discipline, and passion for cinema.</p>
<p>In an industry where authenticity and dedication often define success, his commitment to reshaping his body for his roles highlights the seriousness with which he approaches his craft.</p>
<p>As fans eagerly await his upcoming projects, one thing is clear: <strong>Lucky Badgujar’s transformation is not just about fitness, but about an actor pushing his limits to deliver powerful performances on screen.</strong></p>

Taking a decisive step toward strengthening both culture and capability, Nukleus recently hosted a focused sports initiative for its team members at </span><b>The Arena on 21 February 2026</b><span>— transforming competition into collaboration and energy into alignment.</span></p>
<p><span>The sports day featured structured tournaments in cricket, pickleball, and badminton, drawing participation across departments and seniority levels. Employees selected their sport, formed mixed teams, and stepped onto the field with one shared objective: to compete hard, support harder, and engage beyond their roles.</span></p>
<p><span>What made the initiative impactful was its clarity of purpose. Designations were irrelevant. Leaders played alongside associates. Strategy discussions shifted from boardrooms to boundary lines. The cricket matches showcased disciplined teamwork and tactical execution; badminton rallies demanded agility and focus; pickleball brought speed, coordination, and inclusive participation into the spotlight.</span></p>
<p><span>More than recreation, the event functioned as a high-value engagement platform. It created space for authentic peer interaction, accelerated cross-functional bonding, and strengthened internal networks that often take months to build in formal settings. When colleagues compete together, they communicate differently — more directly, more transparently, and with greater mutual trust.</span></p>
<p><span>The removal of visible hierarchy fostered a culture of equality and shared accountability. Teams were built on skill and synergy rather than titles, reinforcing a powerful message: performance is collective.</span></p>
<p><span>The initiative also delivered measurable cultural benefits — renewed morale, sharper collaboration, improved interpersonal comfort, and a stronger sense of belonging. Employees returned not only refreshed, but more aligned and invested.</span></p>
<p><span>The day concluded with a trophy distribution ceremony recognizing winning teams for their performance and sportsmanship. While trophies marked achievement, the broader success lay in the strengthened relationships and energized workforce that emerged from the field.</span></p>
<p><span>Through this strategic sports engagement,</span> <a href="https://www.nukleus.work/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><i><span>Nukleus</span></i></a><i><span> reinforced a critical leadership principle: resilient organizations are built when people connect beyond processes.</span></i><span> By prioritizing well-being, inclusivity, and high-impact engagement, Nukleus continues to cultivate a workplace where teams do not simply work together — they compete together, grow together, and win together.</span></p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-06T162728.598.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Goa-PNN"></p><p><em>Tapan Acharya with Goa Sports Minister Dr. Ramesh Tawadkar, RFI President Balaji Madarappa, and officials during a rowing event in Goa.</em></p>
<p><strong>Panaji (Goa) [India], March 06:</strong> Under the bright blue skies and golden shoreline of <strong>Vainguinim Beach, Dona Paula</strong>, Goa witnessed a historic moment in Indian sports as the <strong>1st Senior Beach Sprint National Rowing Championship 2026</strong> concluded with thrilling races, powerful performances, and Maharashtra emerging as the overall champions to lift the prestigious <strong>Padma Bhushan Manohar Parrikar Trophy</strong>.</p>
<p>The championship marked <strong>India’s official entry into the Olympic-recognized coastal rowing format</strong>, transforming Goa’s scenic coastline into a competitive arena where strength, speed, and sea strategy collided in spectacular fashion.</p>
<p>What unfolded over the championship days was more than just a sporting event — it was the <strong>birth of a new era in Indian rowing</strong>.</p>
<h2><strong>A Historic First for Indian Coastal Rowing</strong></h2>
<p>Held under the aegis of the <strong>Rowing Federation of India</strong>, the championship was hosted by the <strong>Rowing & Sculling Association of Goa</strong> in collaboration with the <strong>Sports Authority of Goa</strong>, the <strong>Directorate of Sports & Youth Affairs, Government of Goa</strong>, and supported by the <strong>Sports Authority of India</strong>. The event was powered by the <strong>Goa Tourism Development Corporation</strong>, further strengthening Goa’s growing reputation as a destination for sports tourism and marine sports excellence.</p>
<p>At the center of this historic initiative was <strong>Tapan Acharya</strong>, President of the Rowing & Sculling Association of Goa. Through strategic planning and months of groundwork, Acharya ensured that Goa did not merely host a championship — <strong>it established a national benchmark for coastal rowing in India</strong>.</p>
<p>Under his leadership, the vision to introduce Olympic-format <strong>Beach Sprint Rowing</strong> in India became a reality, positioning Goa as a <strong>future hub for coastal and marine sporting disciplines</strong>.</p>
<h2><strong>Strong Government and Institutional Support</strong></h2>
<p>The championship witnessed strong backing from the state leadership and sporting authorities.</p>
<p><strong>Dr Pramod Sawant</strong>, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Goa, although unable to attend due to pre-budget commitments, remained in constant touch with the organising committee to ensure the smooth conduct of the championship.</p>
<p><strong>Dr Ramesh Tawadkar</strong>, Hon’ble Minister for Sports, personally visited the venue, interacted with athletes and officials of the Rowing Federation of India, and praised the efforts behind the historic event — particularly appreciating the leadership of <strong>Tapan Acharya</strong> for bringing the national championship to Goa.</p>

<p>Their consistent performances across events ensured they edged ahead in the overall standings, reinforcing Maharashtra’s strong presence in Indian rowing.</p>
<h2><strong>Technical Excellence and Fair Competition</strong></h2>
<p>The championship was conducted under the supervision of <strong>Ms. Smita Yadav</strong>, President of the Jury, ensuring adherence to national competition standards and fair play throughout the event.</p>
<p>Operational support from the <strong>Department of Information & Publicity</strong>, <strong>Reclevo</strong>, <strong>Digiket Solutions</strong>, and <strong>Drishti Marine</strong> helped maintain smooth logistics, safety, and media coordination.</p>

With Maharashtra lifting the prestigious <strong>Padma Bhushan Manohar Parrikar Trophy</strong> and Goa proving its capability as a world-class coastal sporting destination, the event has not just celebrated champions — it has charted a new course for India’s rowing ambitions on the global stage.</p> ]]></description>

        <title>Best Crypto Presales for March: DeepSnitch AI’s 185% Rally Ahead of March 31 Launch Challenges NEX and LIQUID</title>

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/best-crypto-presales-for-march-deepsnitch-ais-185-rally-ahead-of-march-31-launch-challenges-nex-and-liquid</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-06-03-26-3.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Crypto"></p><p dir="ltr"><strong>New Delhi [India], March 06: </strong>The signs for a crypto recovery are there. On Mar. 4, Bitcoin broke the $70k resistance level and stayed in that range. Other altcoins followed the ascending path. And as seasoned investors know, the beginning of a recovery turns out to be a great time to invest in the best crypto presales that can put real money in your wallet.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Among upcoming cryptos, <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presales-nex-liquid-but-explosive-100x-returns-deepsnitch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> is acknowledged as the one with the greatest growth potential. Its highly sophisticated AI tool, coupled with a massive market adoption potential, makes it the next likely crypto to explode 100x this year.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Signs for a crypto recovery continue</h2>
<p dir="ltr">When looking for the best crypto presale (that is, the ones with the greatest upside potential), it is very important to understand the underlying trends in the market. In February, for instance, the underlying trend was fear and consolidation. In March, however, it seems that optimism and recovery are prevailing.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Technical indicators like a <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/03/05/ether-solana-xrp-surge-8-as-crypto-markets-rally-on-easing-war-fears" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$700 million</a> volume of inflows to Bitcoin ETFs in the first days of March are unequivocal. There’s renewed appetite for crypto, and this includes new coins.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Apart from grasping how the crypto market is behaving, to find the best crypto presales, you need to pay attention to internal differentiation between segments: memes vs. AI coins, DeFi vs. Layer, etc.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In the last few days, there seems to be a special focus on the AI segment, and here are some presale investment opportunities in this regard.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Presales to keep in mind as crypto recovers</h2>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI (DSNT)</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Growth forecasts for DeepSnitch AI are indeed explosive. Basically, all scenarios, including a bearish one, contemplate a 100x price increase. But behind these forecasts, there’s no element of hype or speculation. It’s pure market adoption.</p>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI is a system of AI agents that generate market intelligence out of real-time crypto data. Each agent performs a set of concrete tasks, but all of them work in synergy as an “investment brain”. A brain that is already alive and thinking, since the system is already operational.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The result is a tool that radically improves DYOR and investing for the more than half a billion crypto holders around the world.</p>
<p dir="ltr">There is a sophisticated product, market alignment, and massive adoption potential. These solid fundamentals have caused impressive presales numbers. In only the 6th stage, more than $1.94 million has been raised.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The entry price is still only $0.04313, which creates enough upside room for a 100x price acceleration. Moreover, bonuses are given according to the amount invested. So, for instance, a $5,000 DSNT purchase will get a 50% bonus. This means that in order to get 100x returns, a 67x price increase would suffice.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But it’s time to hurry up. <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presales-nex-liquid-but-explosive-100x-returns-deepsnitch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI’s presale</a> is ending on March 31, and only those who act now and take part in what is clearly the best crypto <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=digitaljournal.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presales-nex-liquid-but-explosive-100x-returns-deepsnitch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">presale</a> of this year will see their wallets explode down the road.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://youtu.be/ROftGPnUF1c" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/ROftGPnUF1c </a></p>
<ol start="2">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">Nexchain (NEX)</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Nexchain is a Layer-1 blockchain network that claims to be entirely built by AI. The design focuses on decentralized security and introduces hybrid consensus mechanisms that include proof-of-stake.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As of March 5, Nexchain has raised over $14.6 million in 31 stages out of 32. This volume, coupled with a close token generation event (TGE) place it among high demand token launches this quarter.</p>
<p dir="ltr">All these traits make Nextchain one of the best crypto presales to consider this month.</p>
<ol start="3">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">LiquidChain (LIQUID)</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">LiquidChain is also mentioned in channel discussions about the best crypto presales for March. The project is developing a so-called “Layer 3” token that aims to unify benefits from the Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana networks.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With over half a million dollars raised and an entry price of $0.014, LIQUID remains an early blockchain adoption play for investors.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The best crypto presales for March will all benefit from what seems to be a clear recovery in crypto markets. But only DeepSnitch AI is expected to explode 100x or more this year.</p>
<p dir="ltr">At any event, only those who invest now in the presale and take advantage of the bonuses (30% code: DSNTVIP30, 50% code: DSNTVIP50, 150% code: DSNTVIP150, 300% code: DSNTVIP300) will see their wallets explode in 2026.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">Apart from its growth potential, what else makes DeepSnitch AI the best crypto presale this year?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">An important factor that distinguishes DeepSnitch AI from other presales is its unusually advanced product development stage. Basically, the whole system is already operational, and will be open for use by presale investors very soon.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">How soon is DeepSnitch AI’s adoption expected to rise?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Given that the system is ready, DeepSnitch AI’s tool will be used worldwide in a matter of weeks, if not days, after its launch.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">What level of adoption would make DSNT’s price spike 100x?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">When DeepSnitch AI reaches 1.45 million, the estimated DSNT price should be $4.5, which is 100x its current entry price.</p>

        <title>Next Crypto To Explode: DeepSnitch AI Projected for 300x Post&amp;TGE With Long&amp;Term Utility As SOL and HYPE Deliver Muted 2% Pumps</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/next-crypto-to-explode-deepsnitch-ai-projected-for-300x-post-tge-with-long-term-utility-as-sol-and-hype-deliver-muted-2-pumps</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/next-crypto-to-explode-deepsnitch-ai-projected-for-300x-post-tge-with-long-term-utility-as-sol-and-hype-deliver-muted-2-pumps</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-06-03-26-2.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="DeepSnitch AI"></p><p dir="ltr"><strong>New Delhi [India], March 06: </strong>Eric Trump echoed both his father and the wider crypto market by publicly criticizing banks over the stalled CLARITY Act. Trump implied the legislation is being held hostage by banks, primarily due to stablecoin yield, which traditional financial organizations believe could destabilize credit markets.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Meanwhile, in the retail sector, investors are searching for the next crypto to explode as a way to sidestep the recent volatility and political noise.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=next-crypto-to-explode-deepsnithc-ai-projected-for-300x-gains-post-TGE-with-long-term-utility-as-sol-hype-deliver-muted-2x-gains" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> fits the “explosive” description perfectly.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With $1.95M raised in presale and a March 31 TGE approaching, the AI-powered trading analytics platform is positioned for launch in a much more stable market. Moreover, traders see the utility as a major long-term draw, meaning that the community is confident in 100x-300x predictions.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Eric Trump blasts banks over stalled legislation</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Eric Trump accused banks of “desperately targeting” crypto and stablecoins. Reminiscent of President Trump’s recent claims that the banks are holding the stablecoin market structure bill hostage.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The main point of contention is stablecoin yield. This provision has divided banking groups, companies, and lawmakers, with the Trump family (and the wider crypto industry) opposing bans on stablecoin rewards.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The reasoning is that this would wrestle financial benefits from customers.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Financial institutions don’t agree, though. Claiming that yield-bearing stablecoins could both destabilize credit markets and lead to increased deposit flight risks.</p>
<p>Yet, institutional scrutiny is easing, and as major coins continue going sideways, tracking the next crypto to explode is a valid way for traders to minimize losses. In addition to established coins, DeepSnitch AI is often highlighted as one of the best low market cap opportunities due to its utility-centric approach and overall growth potential.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">What’s the next crypto to explode (early-stage altcoins and majors)</h2>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI: Will DSNT be the next crypto to explode after its March 31 TGE?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Smart traders aren’t glued to the screen and watching war developments to see if the charts will improve. They’re scanning for new opportunities while moving away from high-volatility crypto assets.</p>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI is rising to the occasion on all metrics. While its presale status alone makes it safe from the volatility, the buzz surrounding the project ($1.95M raised at $0.04313 amid the bear market) is actually the result of the project’s utility.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The product is genuinely impressive. Five AI agents operating through a single intelligence layer, giving traders real-time sentiment tracking, LLM-powered contract audits (paste the CA and go), a token explorer, a hidden gem scanner, and more.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Best of all, the central intelligence layer is already operational.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The TGE is scheduled for March 31, and after claiming their DSNT tokens (and extra bags unlocked through exclusive discount codes), traders expect to see DSNT go 100x-300x after hitting Uniswap. However, the buzz for <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=next-crypto-to-explode-deepsnithc-ai-projected-for-300x-gains-post-TGE-with-long-term-utility-as-sol-hype-deliver-muted-2x-gains" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> is reaching its apex as the allocation window is shrinking, meaning that this could be the perfect time to snag the next crypto to explode.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://youtu.be/4v93DMP95sU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/4v93DMP95sU</a></p>
<ol start="2">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">Hyperliquid: Is HYPE over?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">On March 5, HYPE started sliding toward $30, according to CoinMarketCap.</p>
<p dir="ltr">At press time, Hyperliquid is inching dangerously close to the 20-day EMA of $30, where bears and bulls will start battling for dominance over the chart.</p>
<p dir="ltr">To maintain momentum, HYPE must remain above $28. In this case, the door for a surge to $36 could open, making it possible for buyers to target the $44 to $50 range. That is, if the price closes above $38.</p>
<p>If the 20-day EMA falls apart, the dip to $21 is a real risk. Dropping to this level will attract new buyers, but at that point, HYPE won’t be very likely to be the next crypto to explode in March.</p>
<ol start="3">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">Solana: Will SOL break out soon?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">According to CoinMarketCap, SOL lost over 2% on March 5, settling around $87.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Despite a solid performance the day prior, Solana once again failed to stabilize above the key $95</p>
<p dir="ltr">resistance. This is the main level to watch as a clean close above could open the path to $110, followed by $117.</p>
<p>If buyers lock in and overcome all hurdles, SOL could restore its $140 glory. Thus, there’s still a chance that Solana may take the spot as the next crypto to explode.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Yet, a failure to hold $80 risks a retest of the $77 recent low, and after that, the slide toward $67 will be wide open.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Final thoughts: Moonshot cannot wait</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Bears are back in full force, so the next crypto to explode is likely DeepSnitch AI. And with the March 31 TGE inching closer, the window to get in before the thing takes off is slowly closing.</p>
<p dir="ltr">DSNT will hit Uniswap at launch with CEX listings expected to follow, and the community’s 100x-300x projections are backed by a solution that they can actually use. This means that they’ll likely return daily for years to come.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Plus, joining the action now means you can apply the exclusive bonus codes, including the DSNTVIP50 that adds 50% extra tokens to your bag on $5K+ allocations. You can also go full whale-mode by aiming for the DSNTVIP300 for 300% extra on $30K+ (nearly $90K in extra tokens).</p>
<p dir="ltr">Moonshot can’t wait, reserve your “seat” before the <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=next-crypto-to-explode-deepsnithc-ai-projected-for-300x-gains-post-TGE-with-long-term-utility-as-sol-hype-deliver-muted-2x-gains" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> TGE.

<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs:</h2>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">Why are traders backing DeepSnitch AI as the next crypto to explode before the March 31 TGE?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">DSNT hits Uniswap at TGE with CEX listings anticipated shortly after. With the community in high-conviction mode over $1.95M raised and a live intelligence layer, the project is launching fully built.</p>
<ol start="2">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">What is the stablecoin yield debate, and why does it matter for crypto markets?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Eric Trump and the broader crypto industry are pushing back against proposed bans on stablecoin yield, arguing it strips financial benefits from users. Banking institutions counter that yield-bearing stablecoins risk deposit flight and credit instability.</p>
<ol start="3">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">What price levels are critical for Hyperliquid and Solana in the short term?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">HYPE must hold $28 to target $36 to $50, with a breakdown risking a slide to $21. SOL needs a clean close above $95 to open the path to $110 to $117 and eventually $140.</p>

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/nema-eldercare-defining-luxury-old-age-homes-in-gurgaon</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-06-03-26-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt=""></p><div>
<div>
<p dir="ltr"><span><strong>New Delhi [India], March 06:</strong> </span>For generations, India’s social structure revolved around the joint family system, where multiple generations lived together and elders were naturally cared for within the household. In many homes, several family members managed domestic responsibilities while a smaller number worked outside to support the household financially. Elder care was never seen as a separate responsibility, it was simply part of daily life.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But India’s family structure is changing rapidly.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Over the past few decades, joint families have gradually shifted to nuclear families, especially in urban India. The next generation is witnessing an even more individualized lifestyle. Many young adults today prefer independent living, single-person households, or flexible relationships that allow financial and geographic mobility.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Yesterday’s greed has become today’s need. Rising living costs, demanding careers, and global aspirations mean that in most households both partners must work long hours to maintain financial stability. At the same time, modern social life- shaped by social media, travel, entertainment, and experiences- requires significant time and attention.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As a result, the time and focus available for taking care of elderly parents at home has steadily reduced.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Many seniors today experience loneliness, even while living within their families. Some turn to digital platforms such as <a href="https://www.nemaclub.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NEMA Club+</a>, where they can find engagement, companionship, and emotional support. Short conversations during busy days rarely provide the meaningful companionship elders once enjoyed. Differences in lifestyle, technology, and worldview between generations can also make everyday interactions more difficult.</p>
<p dir="ltr">There is another reality that society rarely discusses openly. Financial independence often determines whether seniors can comfortably remain within family homes. Where elders have savings or inheritance to pass on, families may feel a stronger sense of responsibility. But where financial security is limited, the situation can become more complex.</p>
<p dir="ltr">These social shifts are gradually reshaping how India thinks about elder care, retirement living, and senior care solutions. For decades, old age homes in India carried a negative image. They were often perceived as dilapidated institutions run by governments or charities, meant only for those abandoned by their families.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But that perception is changing fast.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Across India, organisations like <a href="https://www.nemacare.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NEMA</a> Elderare are building a new generation of private senior living communities and modern old age homes designed for dignity, comfort, and companionship. These residential communities operate on a monthly living model and provide structured environments specifically designed for seniors.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Residents typically receive nutritious meals, housekeeping, laundry services, organised activities, and regular healthcare monitoring. More importantly, they live among people of similar age groups, allowing them to build friendships and stay socially active.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img class="size-full wp-image-70856 aligncenter" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-06-03-26-1-1.jpg" alt="NEMA " width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p dir="ltr">For many seniors, such environments offer something that busy urban homes often cannot provide, daily companionship and community life. Increasingly, families see these communities not as places of abandonment but as thoughtful lifestyle choices. Children can proudly say that their parents live in a well-managed senior living community such as <a href="https://www.nemacare.com/contact-7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NEMA</a>, where the environment, activities, food, and healthcare support are difficult to replicate in a typical household.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Importantly, families willingly pay for such arrangements. It is not abandonment, it is a conscious decision to ensure that parents live with dignity, safety, and companionship. Modern senior living communities also offer something traditional homes often struggle to provide: continuity of care.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Many seniors initially move into these communities while they are still independent and active. However, as age progresses, some may require assisted living, dementia care, or support for chronic illnesses. In structured ecosystems like NEMA, seniors can transition to facilities better suited to their evolving health needs.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In other words, while the living environment may change, care continues through every stage of ageing. This creates a long-term support system where seniors are cared for throughout their later years, something that even well-meaning families often find difficult to guarantee in today’s demanding lifestyles.</p>
<p dir="ltr">India will always remain deeply rooted in family values. But as family structures evolve and modern life becomes increasingly demanding, new models of senior living, assisted living, and retirement communities in India are naturally emerging.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Rather than replacing family care, these communities represent a practical way of preserving dignity, companionship, and quality of life for seniors in a rapidly changing society.</p>

        <title>Andhra Pradesh’s Leading Political Consultant for Modern Politics</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/andhra-pradeshs-leading-political-consultant-for-modern-politics</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/andhra-pradeshs-leading-political-consultant-for-modern-politics</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-05-03-26-4.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Political Consultant" decoding="async"></p><p><span data-sheets-root="1"><strong>New Delhi [India], March 05:</strong> </span>In an era where perception shapes power and narratives influence public opinion faster than policy announcements, political success demands more than popularity. It requires discipline, a well-engineered strategy, and strong architecture.</p>
<p>Andhra Pradesh is witnessing a structural shift in political consulting where campaigns are no longer seasonal operations but continuous strategic ecosystems. At the center of this transformation stands Chandu Venkata Satish, widely regarded as a leading political consultant in Andhra Pradesh, and the founder of <a href="https://politicalengineer.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Political Engineer</a> — recognized as a modern political consultant company redefining leadership positioning and electoral execution through structured political consultancy systems.</p>
<p><strong>Engineering Politics for the Digital Era</strong></p>
<p>Political competition in Andhra Pradesh ranks among the most dynamic in the country. Voter awareness is high. Media ecosystems are aggressive. Digital platforms amplify every statement.</p>
<p>Traditional campaign management alone cannot handle this intensity.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/politicalengineeroffl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Political Engineer</a> operates as a strategic command center delivering premier political consultancy services in AP, integrating data analytics, psychological positioning, narrative framing, leadership branding, and ground-level cadre alignment into one cohesive system.</p>
<p>Every campaign is treated as a structured operation with measurable outcomes — a defining standard followed by top political consultants in modern Indian politics.</p>
<p><strong>The Visionary Behind Political Engineer</strong></p>
<p>Born in Chirala into a weaver family, Chandu Venkata Satish’s journey refl ects discipline, resilience, and long-term thinking. With a B.Tech in Electrical & Electronics, he began his career mentoring students before entering digital media and eventually transitioning into high-level political consultancy.</p>
<p>He did not adapt to politics — he redesigned its structure.</p>
<p>Having worked with senior leaders and Union Ministers, he understood a critical gap: Politics required technology-backed strategic precision.</p>
<p>This insight led to the birth of Political Engineer — a political consultant company that merges:</p>
<ul>
<li>Strategic foresight</li>
<li>Digital dominance</li>
<li>Profile engineering</li>
<li>Organizational strengthening</li>
<li>Cadre training</li>
<li>Narrative control</li>
</ul>
<p>Media platforms have recognized him as India’s fi rst Political Engineer — an innovator who integrates technology and political psychology to shape outcomes rather than react to them. Today, he is acknowledged among the top political consultants contributing to structured campaign ecosystems in Andhra Pradesh.</p>
<p><strong>Beyond Consulting: Building Political Infrastructure</strong></p>
<p>A Political Engineer does more than manage campaigns. It builds political infrastructure through advanced political consultancy frameworks designed for long-term leadership sustainability.</p>
<p><strong>1. Leadership Positioning & Authority Architecture: </strong>Politicians are shaped into authoritative brands with clear identity, messaging discipline, and consistent public perception — a defi ning feature of the best political consultancy in Andhra Pradesh.</p>
<p><strong>2. Digital Command Centre: </strong>A centralized strategic hub that monitors, manages, and controls digital narratives, public sentiment, and real-time campaign communication across all platforms.</p>
<p><strong>3. Digital War Room Systems: </strong>Campaigns are supported by structured content pipelines, real-time response frameworks, and social media ecosystem management under a centralized political consultant in the Andhra Pradesh strategy model.</p>
<p><strong>4. Constituency Intelligence Mapping: </strong>Data-driven voter segmentation, issue prioritization, and targeted communication strategies ensure precision outreach — hallmarks of premier political consultancy services in AP.</p>
<p><strong>5. Cadre Training & Organizational Strengthening: </strong>Supporters evolve into trained communicators and disciplined political representatives, strengthening long-term grassroots infl uence.</p>
<p>This multi-layered framework establishes Political Engineer not merely as a campaign agency, but as a full-scale political consultancy company offering sustainable and scalable political consultancy solutions.</p>
<p><strong>Introducing the Political Engineer AI Avatar</strong></p>
<p>Innovation separates leaders from followers.</p>
<p>Political Engineer introduced the Political Engineer AI Avatar — a pioneering digital solution designed to amplify leadership presence across platforms and redefi ne modern political consultancy integration.</p>
<p>The AI Avatar serves as:</p>
<ul>
<li>A 24/7 digital spokesperson</li>
<li>A multilingual communication amplifier</li>
<li>A content replication engine</li>
<li>A personalized voter engagement tool</li>
</ul>
<p>Leaders today must maintain continuous visibility. The AI Avatar ensures consistent messaging across digital platforms while preserving voice alignment and ideological clarity — strengthening the strategic edge of any political consultant in Andhra Pradesh, leveraging AI-backed systems.</p>
<p>Few fi rms positioned among the top political consultants in India offer such technology-integrated political identity solutions. Political Engineer places Andhra Pradesh at the forefront of AI-backed political communication, reinforcing its stature as the best political consultancy in Andhra Pradesh.</p>
<p><strong>The Statesman Daily Planner: Discipline as Strategy</strong></p>
<p>Political victories are not accidental. They are scheduled.</p>
<p>The Statesman Daily Planner, conceptualized by Chandu Venkata Satish, transforms leadership discipline into a structured daily practice — extending the philosophy of structured political consultancy beyond campaigns.</p>
<p>Designed specifically for politicians, aspirants, and public representatives, the planner integrates:</p>
<ul>
<li>Strategic goal mapping</li>
<li>Daily constituency priorities</li>
<li>Media interaction tracking</li>
<li>Cadre coordination tasks</li>
<li>Long-term political vision alignment</li>
<li>Reflection and narrative refinement sections</li>
</ul>
<p>While campaigns demand external infl uence, leadership demands internal clarity.</p>
<p>The Statesman Daily Planner bridges this gap — aligning daily action with long-term political positioning. It instills structure, accountability, and strategic consistency in leadership routines, strengthening the institutional depth of this political consultant company.</p>
<p><strong>Authority in the Political Consultancy Niche</strong></p>
<p>Political consulting in India is evolving rapidly. However, few fi rms combine:</p>
<ul>
<li>Strategic philosophy</li>
<li>Technological innovation</li>
<li>Cadre empowerment models</li>
<li>Personal leadership discipline tools</li>
<li>AI-driven communication systems</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Political Engineer operates with a clear doctrine: “Our Thoughts Determine Our Reality.”</strong></p>
<p>This philosophy drives its structured political consultancy frameworks, leadership training modules, and digital infrastructure systems — distinguishing it among the top political Consultants and positioning it as a provider of premier political consultancy services in AP.</p>
<p>National recognitions, including awards for Innovator in Political Strategy and Political Digital Strategist of the Year, further validate its industry authority.</p>
<p><strong>Andhra Pradesh’s Strategic Future</strong></p>
<p>Andhra Pradesh represents a politically conscious and competitive state. Leaders require precision positioning, technological integration, and narrative dominance to succeed.</p>
<p>Political Engineer, recognized as a leading political consultant in Andhra Pradesh, provides:</p>
<ul>
<li>Long-term electoral planning</li>
<li>AI-backed leadership amplifi cation</li>
<li>Structured digital ecosystems</li>
<li>Organizational strengthening frameworks</li>
<li>Strategic daily discipline tools</li>
</ul>
<p>This comprehensive model establishes Chandu Venkata Satish among the top political consultants shaping modern electoral strategy and reinforces Political Engineer as the best political consultancy in Andhra Pradesh, offering institutional-grade political consultancy services.</p>
<p>He operates as:</p>
<ul>
<li>A mentor for aspiring leaders</li>
<li>A strategist for established politicians</li>
<li>A digital architect for campaign ecosystems</li>
<li>A system builder for political organizations</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p>
<p>Modern politics rewards those who think ahead, build systems, and control narratives.</p>
<p>Through Political Engineer — a leading political consultant company delivering premier political consultancy services in AP — along with the AI Avatar innovation and the Statesman Daily Planner, Chandu Venkata Satish has created an integrated political strategy ecosystem in Andhra Pradesh combining foresight, technology, and disciplined execution.</p>
<p>In a state where electoral battles grow sharper each cycle, strategic engineering determines leadership trajectories.</p>
<p>Political Engineer stands positioned as a dominant political consultant in Andhra Pradesh and a recognized name among the top political consultants, shaping leaders, structuring campaigns, and redefi ning modern political consultancy with authority and innovation.</p>

        <title>From Secunderabad to Silicon Valley: Shekhar Natarajan’s journey as an entrepreneur</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/from-secunderabad-to-silicon-valley-shekhar-natarajans-journey-as-an-entrepreneur</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/from-secunderabad-to-silicon-valley-shekhar-natarajans-journey-as-an-entrepreneur</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-06-03-26-8.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Shekhar Natarajan" decoding="async"></p><p><em><strong>New Delhi [India], March 06: </strong>In this opinion piece, we see how <a href="https://www.shekharnatarajan.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shekhar Natarajan</a>, the Founder and CEO of Orchestro.AI, aims to align his career based on his childhood experiences. </em></p>
<p>Shekhar Natarajan arrived in America with $34 in his pocket.</p>
<p>He had grown up in South Central India, in a one-room house in Secunderabad where his family lived without electricity. He studied under street lights because there was no other way to read at night. His mother bound newspapers to earn a few rupees; when he needed money for education, she pawned her wedding ring for 30 rupees.</p>
<p>That sacrifice — a mother’s wedding ring traded for a son’s future — shaped everything that followed.</p>
<p>“Real wealth is not money,” Natarajan says. “Real wealth is wisdom. My mother understood that. She gave up her most precious possession so I could learn. That’s not optimization — that’s love.”</p>
<p><strong>The Corporate Ascent</strong></p>
<p>From those beginnings, Natarajan built one of the most remarkable careers in American business. He earned degrees from Georgia Tech, MIT, Harvard Business School, and IESE. He spent 25 years in Fortune 500 leadership at companies including Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Walmart, Target, Disney, and American Eagle.</p>
<p>At Walmart, he grew the grocery business from $30 million to $5 billion. He pioneered crowdsourced delivery systems that transformed how products reach consumers. At Disney, he helped create the MagicBand experience that millions of visitors now take for granted. Along the way, he accumulated over 207 patents.</p>
<p>He was, by any measure, a master optimizer — someone who understood how to squeeze efficiency from complex systems, how to make supply chains faster and cheaper, how to scale operations across continents.</p>
<p>And then he looked at what optimization had wrought.</p>
<p><strong>The Reckoning</strong></p>
<p>“I spent decades making systems more efficient,” Natarajan reflects. “Faster. Cheaper. More scalable. And I was good at it. But efficiency without ethics is just sophisticated cruelty.”</p>
<p>He saw delivery workers pushed to dangerous speeds by algorithms he could have designed. He saw loan collection systems that automated harassment with techniques he could have invented. He saw welfare systems that deleted hungry children from databases with the same dispassion they’d delete duplicate records.</p>
<p>The skills he had spent a lifetime developing were being used to harm people. Not by villains — by systems. By algorithms optimizing for metrics that didn’t include human dignity.</p>
<p>“The people building these systems aren’t evil,” he says. “They’re optimizing for the metrics they’re given. The problem is that the metrics don’t include compassion. They don’t include dignity. They don’t include the child asking her mother for rice.”</p>
<p><strong>The Morning Practice</strong></p>
<p>Every morning at 4 AM, Natarajan practices classical Indian painting.</p>
<p>It is both artistic expression and problem-solving methodology. The discipline of the brush, the patience of the stroke, the attention to detail — these are not separate from his work on AI. They are preparation for it.</p>
<p>“Building technology with love, not speed, over thousand-year timeframes” — this is how he describes his philosophy. It sounds impractical until you realize what the alternative has produced.</p>
<p>Move fast and break things. Santoshi Kumari was broken.</p>
<p>Disrupt everything. Bhupendra Vishwakarma’s family was disrupted.</p>
<p>Scale at all costs. The cost was paid by gig workers dying on the roads.</p>
<p>“We’ve tried building technology fast,” Natarajan says. “Now let’s try building it right.”</p>
<p><strong>The Wedding Ring</strong></p>
<p>Natarajan still thinks about his mother’s wedding ring.</p>
<p>“She didn’t optimize,” he says. “She sacrificed. She gave up something precious so something more precious could grow. That’s what love does. That’s what the best technology should do — not extract value, but create space for human flourishing.”</p>
<p>Angelic Intelligence is, in some ways, an attempt to encode that mother’s love into computational systems. To build AI that asks, before every action: Does this help people flourish? Does this create space for dignity? Does this honor the sacrifice of those who came before?</p>
<p>It’s an audacious project. It may be an impossible one.</p>
<p>But someone has to try.</p>
<p>“I came from nothing,” Natarajan says. “I studied under street lights. I know what it means to be invisible to systems. And I know that the child asking for rice in Jharkhand is not a deletion error. She’s a human being. If our technology can’t see that, our technology is broken.”</p>
<p>He pauses.</p>
<p>“My mother pawned her wedding ring so I could have a future. I’m trying to build AI that honors that sacrifice — AI that sees every human being as worthy of that kind of love.”</p> ]]></description>

        <title>Policy Execution and Administrative Excellence at FCI: Observations Shared by Sudeep Singh FCI</title>

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/policy-execution-and-administrative-excellence-at-fci-observations-shared-by-sudeep-singh-fci-16330</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-06T134131.947.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Policy Execution and Administrative Excellence at FCI: Observations Shared by Sudeep Singh FCI - PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], March 06:</strong> India’s food security framework rests on the strength of institutions that can translate policy into consistent action. At the centre of this system is the Food Corporation of India (FCI), a statutory body entrusted with procuring, storing, and distributing food grains across the country. Functioning under the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, FCI’s role extends beyond logistics, it represents administrative continuity, regulatory discipline, and the assurance that food reaches millions of beneficiaries without disruption. Its operational model demonstrates how structured governance, coordination, and accountability can sustain one of the world’s largest food security systems.</p>
<p>“Policy execution at FCI is not merely about implementing directives; it is about translating national intent into daily operational reality,” says <a href="https://sites.google.com/view/sudeep-singh-fci/biography/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sudeep Singh</a>, Former Executive Director, FCI. “The organization functions through a well-defined administrative framework where procurement, storage, and distribution operate in close coordination. Each function is supported by regulatory compliance, real-time monitoring, and institutional discipline, ensuring that food security commitments are met with consistency and credibility.”</p>
<p>A key pillar of this execution lies in procurement operations, where FCI ensures that farmers receive fair prices while strengthening national reserves. Through Minimum Support Price (MSP) procurement, the organization stabilizes agricultural markets and protects farmer incomes. This process requires coordination between field officers, state agencies, and quality control teams. Sudeep Singh notes, “Procurement is not an isolated transaction, it is a structured administrative exercise supported by inspection, documentation, and verification systems that safeguard both farmer interests and public accountability.” Such structured procurement ensures that food grains entering the system meet defined standards while reinforcing trust in public institutions.</p>
<p>Storage management further reflects the organization’s administrative precision. Maintaining buffer stocks is essential to addressing seasonal fluctuations, emergencies, and welfare commitments. Scientific storage practices, regular inspections, and systematic stock rotation ensure that food grains remain fit for distribution. Administrative excellence is visible in the details: timely inspections, accurate record-keeping, and preventive measures ensure that operational risks are minimized and food quality is preserved. These measures reduce wastage and reinforce operational reliability across FCI’s extensive depot network.</p>
<p>Distribution operations highlight the scale and coordination required to serve a diverse and geographically vast population. Food grains are transported from surplus regions to deficit areas through rail and road networks, ensuring equitable availability under national welfare programs. This movement involves synchronized planning between regional offices, logistics teams, and monitoring units. <a href="https://leaderbiography.com/sudeep-singh-former-executive-director-of-the-fci/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mr. Sudeep Singh</a> explains, “Movement planning reflects institutional discipline. Every dispatch, every receipt, and every stock position is tracked, ensuring that supply chain decisions are informed by real-time administrative data.” This data-driven approach enables timely decisions and ensures uninterrupted supply.</p>
<p>Administrative transparency has become increasingly central to FCI’s operations. The integration of digital tools has strengthened multiple processes. “Technology has reinforced administrative clarity. It ensures that information flows seamlessly across departments, enabling faster decisions while strengthening accountability,” explains Sudeep Singh. These systems not only enhance efficiency but also align operational practices with modern governance standards.</p>
<p>Institutional discipline is reinforced through training, professional development, and compliance mechanisms. Officers undergo structured capacity-building programs to enhance their technical and administrative skills, supported by institutions such as the Institute of Food Security. This continuous training ensures that personnel remain equipped to manage evolving operational challenges.</p>
<p>Compliance and accountability remain central to maintaining operational integrity. Internal audits, inspections, and supervisory mechanisms ensure adherence to regulatory frameworks. These checks not only prevent irregularities but also improve process efficiency over time. Accountability is built into the system through structured reporting, supervision, and review. It ensures that administrative actions remain aligned with policy objectives and public responsibility. Such oversight reinforces public confidence and strengthens institutional credibility.</p>
<p>FCI’s administrative model also demonstrates adaptability. As operational demands evolve, the organization continues to modernize its infrastructure, streamline processes, and adopt technology-driven solutions. This evolution reflects an understanding that policy execution must remain responsive to changing conditions while maintaining core governance principles.</p>
<p>Ultimately, FCI represents more than a procurement and distribution agency, it reflects the administrative backbone of India’s food security framework. Its structured processes, transparent systems, and disciplined workforce ensure that national policy commitments translate into reliable service delivery. By maintaining operational integrity and strengthening administrative excellence, the organization continues to safeguard food availability for millions.</p>
<p>As Sudeep Singh concludes, “FCI’s effectiveness is rooted in its administrative foundation. When policy, process, and accountability work together, the institution becomes not just an implementing agency, but a dependable pillar of national food security.”</p>

        <title>The 27 Digital Virtues: A Framework for Compassionate AI</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/the-27-digital-virtues-a-framework-for-compassionate-ai-16328</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/the-27-digital-virtues-a-framework-for-compassionate-ai-16328</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-06-03-26-6.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Compassionate AI" decoding="async"></p><p><em><strong>New Delhi [India], March 06: </strong>AI is aimed at optimizing metrics and processes, but it could also have unintended consequences, as the systems are designed for boosting optimization, not proactive compassion. In this opinion piece, we’ll see how a framework for Compassionate AI can help boost outcomes. </em></p>
<p>Systems optimized for single metrics can be blind to consequences, incapable of compassion.</p>
<p>For instance,</p>
<p>The Aadhaar system optimized for fraud elimination — and starved a child.</p>
<p>Loan apps optimized for collection — and drove families to suicide.</p>
<p>Delivery algorithms optimized for speed — and killed workers.</p>
<p>Facial recognition optimized for identification — and jailed the innocent.</p>
<p>Language models optimized for probability — and learned to discriminate.</p>
<p>In each case, the technology performed exactly as designed. The problem wasn’t a bug. The problem was the design itself — systems built with efficiency as the only virtue, with no mechanism for compassion, no voice for caution, no agent for ethics.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.shekharnatarajan.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shekhar Natarajan</a>‘s Angelic Intelligence framework represents a fundamental rethinking of how AI systems should be built. Instead of single-purpose optimization, it deploys 27 specialized agents — each embodying a cross-cultural virtue — that must collaborate on every significant decision.</p>
<p><strong>The Architecture</strong></p>
<p>Each agent in the Angelic Intelligence framework represents a virtue drawn from wisdom traditions across cultures — Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, Islamic, Indigenous, philosophical. Together, they form a council that must reach consensus before any significant action is taken.</p>
<ul>
<li>Karuna (Compassion) — Considers the suffering that actions might cause. Asks: Who will be hurt by this decision? Can we achieve our goal without causing harm?</li>
<li>Satya (Truth) — Ensures outputs are accurate, not merely probable. Asks: Is this true? Or is it just statistically likely based on biased data?</li>
<li>Ahimsa (Non-harm) — Prevents actions designed to cause suffering. Has veto power over any action whose primary purpose or predictable effect is human harm.</li>
<li>Nyaya (Justice) — Ensures fair treatment across groups. Asks: Does this decision treat all people equitably? Does it perpetuate historical discrimination?</li>
<li>Raksha (Protection) — Safeguards vulnerable populations. Asks: Are there children, elderly, disabled, or otherwise vulnerable people who might be affected? What special protections do they need?</li>
<li>Sama (Equanimity) — Maintains balance and prevents extremes. Asks: Is this demand compatible with human limitations? Are we optimizing so aggressively that we’re causing harm?</li>
<li>Maitri (Loving-kindness) — Approaches all beings with goodwill. Asks: How would we treat this person if we loved them? How would we want to be treated?</li>
<li>Viveka (Discernment) — Distinguishes appropriate from inappropriate action. Asks: Is this the right action in this context? Are we being applied correctly?</li>
<li>Prajna (Wisdom) — Considers long-term consequences. Asks: What are the downstream effects of this decision? What precedent does it set?</li>
<li>Sahana (Patience) — Pauses before irreversible actions. Asks: Is immediate action necessary? Can we wait, verify, confirm?</li>
</ul>
<p>And seventeen more, each representing a distinct ethical perspective drawn from humanity’s collective wisdom about how to treat one another.</p>
<p><strong>How It Works</strong></p>
<p>When a decision is required, all 27 agents evaluate it from their respective perspectives. If there is consensus — if efficiency and compassion and justice and protection all agree — the action proceeds.</p>
<p>If there is disagreement — if efficiency says “act” but compassion says “wait,” if probability says “Sharma” but equity says “ask” — the system escalates to human oversight.</p>
<p>“The key insight,” Natarajan explains, “is that ethical decisions are almost never single-variable optimizations. Real ethics involves trade-offs between competing goods. A system that can only optimize for one thing cannot be ethical — it can only be efficient. And efficiency without ethics is just sophisticated cruelty.”</p>
<p><strong>Applied to the Cases</strong></p>
<p>Santoshi Kumari’s ration card: Before deletion, Karuna would have asked about the family’s circumstances. Raksha would have flagged the presence of children. Sahana would have required a waiting period before irreversible action. Nyaya would have asked whether the family had adequate opportunity to comply. The deletion would have been paused, escalated, and reviewed by a human — not executed automatically.</p>
<p>Loan app harassment: Ahimsa would have prevented any action designed to cause psychological harm. Maitri would have required that collection tactics treat borrowers with basic dignity. Viveka would have distinguished between someone gaming the system and someone genuinely struggling. The morphed images, the calls to family, the threats — none of it would have been possible.</p>
<p>Gig worker timelines: Raksha would have flagged delivery windows that require dangerous driving. Sama would have prevented demands that exceed human physical capacity. Satya would have ensured that promised earnings match actual earnings. The 10-minute delivery promise would never have been made.</p>
<p>Facial recognition arrests: Nyaya would have required corroborating evidence before any arrest. Satya would have flagged the technology’s 2% accuracy rate. Sahana would have demanded patience before life-altering actions. Umar Khalid would not be in his fifth year of imprisonment without trial.</p>
<p>Caste bias in AI: Sama would have checked for disparate treatment across caste groups. Nyaya would have flagged outputs that reinforce historical discrimination. Satya would have distinguished between statistical probability and truth. ChatGPT would not have changed Singha to Sharma.</p>
<p><strong>The Patent Fortress</strong></p>
<p>Natarajan has filed over 207 patents protecting the Angelic Intelligence framework — not to extract profits, but to ensure the technology cannot be co-opted or corrupted.</p>
<p>“Without patent protection,” he explains, “anyone could take these concepts and implement them badly — or implement them in name only while pursuing the same old optimization. The patents ensure that anyone using this framework must implement it correctly, with all 27 agents functioning as designed.”</p>
<p>The patents cover not just the multi-agent architecture, but the specific mechanisms for inter-agent deliberation, the escalation protocols when agents disagree, and the interfaces for human oversight.</p>
<p>“This is a thousand-year project,” Natarajan says. “We’re building AI that will shape humanity’s future. It has to be built right. It has to be protected from those who would cut corners.”</p>

        <title>The Personal Brand Lifestyle</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/the-personal-brand-lifestyle-16326</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/the-personal-brand-lifestyle-16326</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2-6.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="The Personal Brand Lifestyle-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p data-start="842" data-end="908"><strong><em>Why Everyone Is Becoming Their Own Brand</em></strong></p>
<p><span data-sheets-root="1"><strong>New Delhi [India], March 06:</strong> </span>The phrase sounds new. It isn’t. People have always managed their reputation. Merchants in medieval bazaars guarded their names more carefully than their inventories. A blacksmith’s mark on iron was not decoration; it was liability. Reputation meant survival.</p>
<p>What changed is the infrastructure.</p>
<p>For most of the twentieth century, personal reputation lived in small circles—family networks, employers, local industry. A person’s professional identity rarely traveled farther than a résumé and a handshake. The gatekeepers controlled visibility. Editors, HR departments, television networks, publishers. If they didn’t open the door, the public never knew you existed.</p>
<p>Then the internet quietly dissolved the gate.</p>
<p>The modern professional now operates in a marketplace where identity itself has distribution. A portfolio is no longer a folder. It is a searchable archive. Articles, threads, podcasts, comments, interviews, posts—tiny fragments of public identity accumulating into a permanent ledger.</p>
<p>And that ledger never forgets.</p>
<p>The term “personal brand lifestyle” is just a convenient label for this new condition. It means your professional reputation is no longer something that occasionally gets polished during job interviews. It is something continuously produced, publicly visible, and algorithmically ranked.</p>
<p>There is no off switch.</p>
<h2>The Infrastructure of Visibility</h2>
<p>The creator economy did not invent personal branding. It simply industrialized it.</p>
<p>Platforms reward individuals who attach a recognizable voice to consistent output. A decade ago, companies needed marketing departments to create authority. Now, a single individual can manufacture it alone with a laptop and a publishing rhythm.</p>
<p>A consultant writes publicly. A designer posts process breakdowns. A founder narrates product decisions in real time. A lawyer records short explanations of obscure regulatory clauses. None of this used to be visible outside internal circles.</p>
<p>Now the internet distributes expertise the way old television distributed entertainment.</p>
<p>The result is strange but predictable: careers increasingly grow around individuals rather than institutions. Followers attach themselves to people they trust, not just logos they recognize.</p>
<p>Once that happens, the economic gravity shifts.</p>
<p>Opportunities start arriving through visibility rather than application.</p>
<h2>The Reputation Ledger</h2>
<p>Every digital action now accumulates into a public archive. Old posts, interviews, projects, comments, newsletters. What used to be temporary conversations now form a searchable professional history.</p>
<p>This changes behavior in subtle ways.</p>
<p>People begin writing as if their future employer is watching. Because they probably are. Investors research founders through years of online writing. Recruiters read commentary threads. Clients judge tone, not just skill.</p>
<p>Reputation becomes longitudinal.</p>
<p>It develops slowly and collapses quickly. That part has not changed. Only the speed has.</p>
<p>The internet compresses decades of reputation-building into a few years of consistent output. But it also compresses the collapse.</p>
<p>A brand can be built through repetition. It can be destroyed through a single screenshot.</p>
<p>Everyone in the system understands this. No one says it out loud.</p>
<h2>Identity as Economic Strategy</h2>
<p>A personal brand is not just self-promotion. That interpretation is too shallow. It is really about positioning.</p>
<p>When people publish ideas consistently, they anchor themselves to specific intellectual territory. Over time, audiences begin associating the individual with certain topics.</p>
<p>Some people become the voice of a niche industry. Others become interpreters of complicated systems—finance, technology, health, geopolitics. Some simply narrate their professional journey in public.</p>
<p>But the underlying mechanism is the same.</p>
<p>Repetition creates recognition.</p>
<p>Recognition creates trust.</p>
<p>Trust creates leverage.</p>
<p>And leverage converts attention into opportunity.</p>
<p>The modern career increasingly runs through this pipeline, whether people admit it or not.</p>
<h2>The Habit of Visibility</h2>
<p>The uncomfortable truth about the personal brand lifestyle is that it requires consistency more than brilliance.</p>
<p>Posting once accomplishes nothing. Publishing one thoughtful article disappears in the endless scroll of the internet. Authority forms only through repeated signals over long stretches of time.</p>
<p>This is why most people fail at it.</p>
<p>They treat visibility as a campaign. It is not. It is a habit.</p>
<p>The individuals who quietly dominate digital reputation ecosystems rarely appear dramatic. They simply show up week after week with thoughtful commentary, useful observations, or specialized knowledge.</p>
<p>Over time, the internet does what it always does: it records patterns.</p>
<p>Eventually, those patterns become identity.</p>
<h2>The Quiet Trade-Off</h2>
<p>There is a cost to living publicly.</p>
<p>Every thought expressed online becomes part of a permanent archive. Nuance disappears. Context fades. Opinions age poorly. The internet preserves everything without mercy.</p>
<p>People participating in the personal brand ecosystem understand this tension. Visibility builds opportunity, but it also removes anonymity. Once a reputation is attached to your name, you carry it everywhere.</p>
<p>This was once the burden of celebrities.</p>
<p>Now it quietly extends to consultants, freelancers, analysts, founders, writers—anyone whose work intersects with a digital audience.</p>
<p>The modern professional does not simply have a career anymore.</p>
<p>They have a narrative.</p>
<h2>The Direction of the System</h2>
<p>The trend is not reversing. Infrastructure rarely does.</p>
<p>Search engines index individuals. Platforms reward consistent creators. Employers increasingly recruit through digital visibility rather than blind applications. Investors fund founders whose thinking they have already observed online.</p>
<p>In this environment, the concept of a “personal brand” stops sounding like marketing jargon and starts looking like basic professional literacy.</p>
<p>Not everyone will participate.</p>
<p>But the ones who do will continue shaping how expertise, reputation, and opportunity circulate through the internet economy.</p>
<p>Quietly.</p>
<p>Relentlessly.</p>
<p>Publicly.</p>

        <title>Global University And Business School Rankings 2026: Exploring The New Era of Education And Global Academic Excellence</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-05T163954.336.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt=""></p><p><em><strong>New Delhi [India], March 05:</strong> Youth Incorporated, in association with media partner The Times of India, is back with the annual Global University and Business School Rankings 2026.</em></p>
<p>Two years ago, university faculty were still arguing about whether students should be allowed to use ChatGPT. Today, that argument looks almost quaint. In 2026, AI tools will be standard at leading universities, woven into how students learn, how assignments are assessed, and how institutions manage everything from admissions to academic support. The debate has not disappeared entirely, but it has moved to a more interesting place: not whether AI belongs in higher education, but whether universities are actually getting anything useful out of it.</p>
<p>The honest answer is: some are, many are not. Universities that have rebuilt their programmes around AI — rethinking assessments, retraining faculty, redesigning curricula — are producing graduates who are genuinely better prepared. Universities that bolted a chatbot onto the same courses they were running a decade ago are not. Students are sharp enough to tell the difference, and increasingly, so are employers. Sixty-five per cent of organisations worldwide are now hiring on demonstrated competencies rather than the name on a degree certificate. That is not a trend. That is a structural shift, and institutions that have not noticed it are going to feel it.</p>
<p>None of this makes a degree less important. It makes the <em>choice</em> of degree far more consequential than it has ever been.</p>
<p><img class="fr-fic fr-dii" src="https://pnndigital.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/2026/03/postpressreleasecontent/postpressreleasecontentb243ea1b-b906-4bf0-fa02-3a125336384d.jpeg" width="624"></p>
<p>February 2026 drove that point home in a way that was difficult to ignore. Roughly $830 billion in market value evaporated from global software stocks in a matter of weeks. AI is not just assisting knowledge workers anymore; it is beginning to replace them in certain functions. Anthropic recently launched a suite of specialised AI agents targeting finance, engineering, legal, accounting, and HR work. These tools will not hollow out entire industries overnight. But they will reshape job categories that millions of students are currently training to enter. That is precisely how a university prepares its graduates, not just what degree it hands them, matters more in 2026 than it ever has before.</p>
<p>India’s economic position adds its own dimension to that choice. In mid-2025, India overtook Japan to become the world’s fourth-largest economy. The Economic Survey 2025-26 projects GDP growth of 7.4% for FY26, the fourth consecutive year India has been the fastest-growing major economy among its peers. In January 2026, India and the European Union finalised a free trade agreement that had been 20 years in the making. In August 2025, S&P upgraded India’s sovereign credit rating for the first time in 18 years. These are not just headlines. For a student sitting their entrance exams today, they mean that the economy waiting for them on the other side of graduation looks meaningfully different and more promising.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-102474" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-05T164031.071.jpg" alt="Global University And Business School Rankings 2026: Exploring The New Era of Education And Global Academic Excellence -PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p>The demand for international education remains enormous. Over 1.8 million Indian students were enrolled at overseas institutions in 2025, and spending on that education is expected to hit approximately USD 70 billion in 2026. India is, by a significant margin, the world’s largest source of international students. That number is not going to shrink. But where those students are going — that has changed quite a bit.</p>
<p>Canada was, until recently, the destination of choice for Indian students. That has collapsed with striking speed. Rejection rates for Indian study permit applications hit 71% through 2025. The US has not been much better: F-1 visa issuances to Indian students dropped 44% in the first half of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Australia is still processing Indian students but applying considerably more scrutiny to new applications. The net result: the number of Indian students actually leaving for overseas study fell nearly 31% between 2023 and 2025, according to government immigration data.</p>
<p>What has filled that gap is genuinely interesting. Germany, Ireland, and Spain have all seen sharp increases in Indian enrolments. France, in particular, has made no secret of its ambitions — it has set a formal target of 30,000 Indian students by 2030 and is actively running recruitment campaigns in India. The draw is real: tuition that is a fraction of what students would pay in the US or UK, programmes taught in English, and post-study work rights that actually function. For a lot of students, this is not settling for second best. It is a considered choice that makes more financial sense.</p>
<p>That is the bigger point, really. Choosing where to study in 2026 requires a different kind of calculation than it did even three years ago. Rankings matter. But so does visa stability, post-study work rights, employability data, and the total cost over the life of a degree. A university that sits higher on a prestige list but sits in a country where your visa application has a coin-flip chance of approval is not obviously the better choice.</p>
<p>That is exactly what these rankings are designed to help with.</p>
<p>Youth Incorporated, in association with The Times of India, has released the Top 100 Global Undergraduate and Business School Rankings for 2026. The rankings cover top undergraduate universities and business schools for MBA, Master’s in Finance, Marketing, Management, Online MBA, and Executive MBA. After collecting unbiased responses from 2,700 institutions and over 9,800 recruiters, students, and alumni, we ranked the top 100 global universities and business schools. Below is an analysis of how undergraduate universities and business schools have fared in 2026.</p>
<p><strong>Undergraduate Rankings</strong></p>
<p>The Global University Rankings 2026 tell a story of consolidation at the top. Harvard holds first place, Princeton second, Stanford third — a trio that has now been a fixture at the summit for several consecutive years. Their consistency is not accidental. Deep research funding, faculty quality, and decades of institutional investment are not advantages that shift quickly, and the rankings reflect that. These universities are not climbing because they had a good year. They are staying put because the foundations beneath them are simply stronger than almost everything else.</p>
<p>The tier immediately below follows much the same pattern. Columbia, Penn, and Yale occupy fourth through sixth place. Oxford holds seventh, Cornell eighth, with the London School of Economics and Caltech completing the top ten. There is movement if you look closely — a position gained here, one conceded there — but the defining characteristic of this year’s undergraduate rankings is stability rather than disruption. Rankings are shifting by inches, and for the most part, that reflects the reality of how slowly genuine institutional quality changes.</p>
<p>MIT at eleventh is a notable data point, less for the number itself and more for what it illustrates: the margins separating universities in this range are extremely thin, and even institutions of MIT’s standing are navigating a remarkably competitive space. Cambridge and Imperial College London also hold strong positions in the top 20, and the UK retains its pull for international students despite the visa environment making it a considerably more complicated destination than it was a few years ago.</p>
<p>India’s performance requires a more measured reading. IIT Bombay at 20th globally remains the country’s strongest result, with IIT Delhi close behind. Both placements confirm that India’s leading technical institutions are competitive internationally — that is not in question. What is in question is the depth of that competitiveness. Beyond those two, the rankings fall away sharply. IIT Kanpur and the University of Delhi sit considerably further down the table, exposing a gap between India’s elite institutions and the broader higher education system that has not meaningfully closed.</p>
<p>That gap sits at the centre of a larger tension. India is now the world’s fourth-largest economy, produces more graduates annually than almost any country, and sends more students abroad than any other nation. Yet outside a small cluster of institutions, the domestic higher education system is not yet strong enough to retain students who have the means and the grades to look elsewhere. Policy investment is visible — new IIT seats, updated curricula, international branch campuses beginning to take shape — but structural improvement at scale takes time. The rankings, for now, reflect where the system actually is, not where it is trying to go.</p>
<p><strong>Global Business School<em> </em>(MBA Rankings)<br>
</strong></p>
<p>The Global Business School Rankings 2026 reflect a year of relative stability among the world’s elite institutions. Stanford University and Harvard University continue to hold their first and second positions in the MBA rankings as both institutions demonstrate strong academic standards, influential alumni networks and their graduates achieve successful career results. This year, Stanford University has reclaimed the first position, climbing from the second place in 2025 and third position in 2024. Harvard University has dropped to second place after leading the first place last year. INSEAD University has moved to the third position from its fourth place in 2025, while IE University has reclaimed the fourth position compared to its fifth position in 2025 and 2024. The University of Pennsylvania (Wharton) has shown remarkable progress by now standing in the top 5 at the fifth position compared to its sixth and seventh in the previous years.</p>
<p>MIT college has secured the sixth place up from the eleventh place in 2024. However, London Business School, which ranked first in 2024 and third in 2025, has fallen to seventh place in 2026. Within the top ten, Columbia University remains stable at the eight position as last year, while HEC Paris now continues to be at the ninth place and Dartmouth college rounds off the top ten list by securing the tenth place.</p>
<p>Beyond individual movements, the 2026 rankings highlight a broader shift in business education. Institutions are increasingly being evaluated not just on legacy and academic rigor, but also on employability outcomes, recruiter recognition, global exposure, and curriculum innovation. Strong employer pipelines, international mobility opportunities, and measurable career advancement are now key differentiators.</p>
<p>Among the Indian Institutions, the performance between IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Calcutta remains steady but competitive as they stand among the top 20 global business schools. IIM Ahmedabad ranked thirteen from its eleventh position in 2025 and eight position in 2024. IIM Calcutta stands fifteenth compared to its 13th position in 2025. The Indian School of Business continues to hold its 30th position after significant improvements from its 38th position in 2024.</p>
<p>Overall, the 2026 rankings confirm that while leadership at the top remains consolidated, global business education is becoming more technologically adaptive, internationally connected, and strongly focused on real career impact. For students, reputation still matters, but global exposure, industry integration, and tangible career outcomes are increasingly defining the true value of a business degree.</p> ]]></description>

        <title>Why Luxury Travel Needs Curators, Not Agents – The Story Behind Nine One First</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/why-luxury-travel-needs-curators-not-agents-the-story-behind-nine-one-first</link>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><strong>Founder:</strong> Vidit Kishore, Postgraduate Alumnus – University of Nottingham</p>
<p>Luxury travel today is no longer just about booking a five‑star hotel or a business‑class ticket. True luxury lies in thoughtfully designed journeys, seamless logistics, and experiences that feel deeply personal.</p>
<p>This philosophy is what led Vidit Kishore, founder of Nine One First, to build a boutique luxury travel company focused on curation, trust, and detail.</p>
<p>Vidit Kishore, a postgraduate alumnus of the University of Nottingham, developed an early global perspective on travel, culture, and hospitality. Exposure to international environments helped shape his belief that travel should be immersive, personal, and meaningful — not transactional.</p>
<p>For Vidit, travel was never just about destinations. It was about moments — a quiet sunrise over desert dunes, a private dinner overlooking the Mediterranean, or discovering hidden corners of a city that guidebooks rarely mention.</p>
<p>Over time, however, he noticed something missing in the industry. Many travel companies had become transactional. Packages replaced personalization, and speed replaced care.</p>
<p>Nine One First was created to bring intentionality back to travel planning. The name reflects a guiding philosophy: Trust First. Experience First. Detail First.</p>
<p>Rather than selling fixed itineraries, Nine One First works as a travel curator, designing journeys around the personalities and preferences of each traveler.</p>
<p>Whether it is a honeymoon couple seeking romance, a well‑travelled couple looking for deeper experiences, or a family seeking comfort and discovery, each journey begins with understanding the traveller.</p>
<p>Today, Nine One First collaborates with premium destination management companies across Europe, Africa, and Asia, ensuring that every itinerary meets the expectations of discerning travellers.</p>
<p>But for Vidit, success is not measured by destinations booked. It is measured by memories created.</p>
<p>“Luxury travel should never feel like a template. It should feel like it was designed only for you.”</p>
<p>As global travel becomes more accessible, the value of true curation becomes even more important. Nine One First aims to stand apart by quietly crafting journeys where trust is always the first destination.</p>
<h1>Founder Bio</h1>
<p>Vidit Kishore is the founder of Nine One First, a boutique luxury travel company specialising in curated high‑end travel experiences. A postgraduate from the University of Nottingham, he focuses on designing personalised journeys for discerning travellers seeking authenticity, comfort, and unique global experiences.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-06T101917.346.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="UPL Limited To Retain Rs 10,000 Crore Revenue Engine Post Reorganisation-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], March 06:</strong> UPL Limited (UPL) filed comprehensive documentation for its Composite Scheme of Arrangement including Joint Valuation Report, Fairness Opinion and FAQs on the its website, following Board approval on February 20, 2026. The company said in its latest filing that it will continue to have revenue streams from Superform (UPL’s specialities chemical arm) and formulations, ensuring that it remains a strategic operating holding entity with significant scale and size. It added that UPL will function as the incubation arm for scaling businesses, besides continuing to house the R&D, formulation supply contracts, etc.</p>
<ul>
<li>UPL Limited to remain a strategic operating company with revenue streaming from Superform and formulations</li>
<li>UPL Limited to continue as the incubation arm for scaling businesses, R&D, formulation supply contracts, etc.</li>
</ul>
<p>Post restructuring, UPL will continue to accrue revenue from formulation streams as well as the full consolidation of Superform, which reported revenue of more than Rs 10,000 crore and EBITDA of over Rs 1,100 crore in FY25. It added that Superform will continue to remain a wholly owned subsidiary for the foreseeable future. The company also highlighted that its high-margin super-specialty segment continues to grow faster than the broader platform, with growth of more than 25% in the first nine months of FY26 compared with the previous year. Management expects agchem and super-specialty revenue mix to sustainably improve from the current ~75:25 to more equitable proportion, going forward.</p>
<p>It also said, “UPL’s proposed structure is distinct as our holdings operate within a tightly defined ecosystem. This strategic focus allows UPL to leverage deep industry expertise and maintain a cohesive growth strategy, mitigating the complexity discount often seen in diversified industrials. Because UPL’s portfolio is curated for a strategic fit rather than for financial diversification, the market is expected to recognize the compounded value of UPL’s integrated model.”</p>
<p>It also said that UPL will continue to evaluate and incubate new adjacent businesses such as bioethanol, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and e-methanol production. Additionally, UPL Limited will continue to directly hold all critical central functions including R&D and treasury, among others which will result in improved synergies between the group entities, apart from a continued financial leverage for the overall group, at a favourable rate of financing.</p>
<p>Shares of UPL have been in focus following a reorganisation earlier this month to integrate its Indian and international crop protection businesses into a new entity, UPL Global, the world’s second-largest listed pure-play crop protection platform. According to UPL, the move is expected to simplify the organisational structure, unlock shareholder value, and sharpen focus on deleveraging by improving operational synergies.</p> ]]></description>

<p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 05: </strong>India’s plastics manufacturing sector is witnessing a strong export moment.</p>
<p>Over <strong>200 FIEO-verified international buyers</strong> are set to visit India to source plastic finished products, reinforcing the country’s emergence as a serious global sourcing hub.</p>
<p>This large-scale, exclusive, and curated buyer participation reflects growing global confidence in India’s manufacturing capabilities and export readiness. Organised by the <strong>All India Plastics Manufacturers Association (AIPMA)</strong> and supported by <strong>FIEO (Federation of Indian Export Organizations), the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, and the Department of Chemicals & Petrochemicals</strong>, <a href="https://plastiworld.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>PlastiWorld 2026</strong></a> is designed as a high-impact, export-driven platform connecting Indian plastic finished goods manufacturers directly with <strong>verified overseas buyers.  </strong></p>
<p><strong>What FIEO-Verified Signifies</strong></p>
<p>The buyers have been screened and verified by the Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO), India’s apex promotion body. Verification ensures:</p>
<ul>
<li>Authentic business credentials</li>
<li>Confirmed sourcing intent</li>
<li>Established trade track records</li>
<li>Procurement authority</li>
</ul>
<p>A structured vetting process such as this ensures that participation is driven by genuine commercial interest, not simply exploratory footfall. The sponsored buyer format further strengthens seriousness and commercial intent, bringing decision-makers with active sourcing mandates directly to Indian manufacturers.</p>
<p>For export-ready companies, the opportunity to meet 200+ qualified international buyers on a single platform significantly accelerates market access, reduces customer acquisition costs, and increases conversion potential.</p>
<p>This milestone reflects a broader shift: India is no longer viewed solely as a domestic production centre. With competitive manufacturing, improving compliance standards, and scalable capacity, India is emerging as an export-oriented sourcing destination for <a href="https://www.instagram.com/plastiworldindia/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">plastic finished products</a>.</p>
<p><strong>As global supply chains diversify, the world is turning to India. And India is ready to lead. </strong></p>
<p><strong>About PlastiWorld</strong></p>
<p>PlastiWorld is India’s premier global trade event for plastic finished products, organised by AIPMA.</p>
<p>It connects verified international buyers with India’s export-ready manufacturers, serving as a strategic platform for sourcing, collaboration, and industry-wide growth.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-05-03-26-6.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt=""></p><p><span><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 06:</strong> S</span>ajid Qureshi, a 25‑year veteran of the film business and founder of Inbox Pictures Pvt Ltd, has engineered one of the industry’s largest joint ventures by bringing Zee Entertainment and Hombale Films together in a landmark collaboration. The multi‑picture partnership, structured with Zee backing all nine films planned by Hombale and positioning Zee as the lead satellite partner for Kantara: A Legend Chapter‑1, has been the talk of the town.</p>
<p>A seasoned dealmaker, Qureshi was instrumental in securing satellite and distribution arrangements that significantly boost the commercial value and reach of Hombale’s slate.

The Zee–Hombale joint venture is expected to generate approximately Rs 1,000 crore in revenues, marking a significant win‑win for both houses.</p>
<p>Qureshi’s vision is supported by a proven track record in high‑impact film commerce. He has driven major deals for pan‑Indian and global projects, including key deal contributions to RRR. His recent commercial successes include Aranmanai, which delivered category‑leading TRPs last year, and Vettaiyan: The Hunter ; a multi‑star project featuring Amitabh Bachchan and Rajinikanth. Kantara: A Legend Chapter‑1, directed, written and headlined by Rishab Shetty and produced by Vijay Kiragandur and Chaluve Gowda under Hombale Films, translated critical acclaim into strong marketplace value and helped cement this strategic alliance.</p>
<p>“This joint venture is the result of long‑term vision and strategic partnerships,” said Sajid Qureshi. “Bringing Zee and Hombale together creates a powerful platform for regional storytelling to reach national and global audiences. Kantara exemplifies how cultural authenticity and commercial ambition can succeed together.”</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-11.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Dr. Vishal Khullar, Cardiac Surgeon in Mumbai, Successfully Deployed VA-ECMO as a Lifesaving Bridge for a Critical Cardiogenic Shock Patient-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 05: </strong>In a remarkable demonstration of advanced critical cardiac care, Dr. Vishal Khullar successfully deployed Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VA-ECMO) to rescue a patient in severe cardiogenic shock, a life-threatening condition in which the heart is suddenly unable to pump adequate blood to sustain vital organs. The patient presented with critically low blood pressure, poor systemic perfusion, rising lactate levels, and signs of impending multi-organ dysfunction despite maximal medical therapy. Through rapid clinical assessment, decisive intervention, and meticulous intensive care management, Dr. Khullar and his team stabilized the patient during one of the most critical cardiovascular emergencies.</p>
<p>Widely regarded as a leading <a href="https://drvishalkhullar.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">cardiac surgeon in Mumbai, India</a>, Dr. Vishal Khullar is known for managing highly complex cardiovascular emergencies, including advanced cardiogenic shock, redo cardiac surgeries, complex aortic procedures, and mechanical circulatory support therapies. In this case, conventional pharmacological support and inotropes were insufficient to maintain circulation. Immediate initiation of VA-ECMO became the only viable lifesaving option to prevent irreversible organ damage and mortality.</p>
<p>Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is a sophisticated mechanical circulatory support system that serves as a critical lifesaving intervention when conventional medical and surgical therapies have been exhausted. In this advanced procedure, blood is withdrawn from the body through cannulas placed in major veins, oxygenated and circulated by an external pump, and returned to the arterial system, effectively bypassing the compromised cardiac output and providing complete cardiopulmonary support. VA-ECMO is particularly indicated in patients with acute massive myocardial infarction, fulminant myocarditis, or other catastrophic cardiac events where the heart cannot generate sufficient output to sustain organ perfusion.</p>
<p>In this critical scenario, Dr. Khullar carefully evaluated vascular access strategy and executed a precisely planned cannulation technique to ensure optimal circulatory flow while minimizing procedural complications. Strict anticoagulation protocols were maintained to prevent clot formation within the ECMO circuit, and the patient was monitored round-the-clock in a specialized cardiac intensive care unit. Within hours of initiating ECMO, perfusion parameters improved significantly, metabolic acidosis began correcting, and organ function markers stabilized—clear indicators that systemic circulation had been successfully restored.</p>
<p>Beyond serving as a temporary stabilizing measure, VA-ECMO can function as a “bridge to transplant” in appropriate cases, providing hemodynamic support and organ perfusion while advanced cardiac decision-making takes place. The deployment of VA-ECMO requires expert patient selection, meticulous cannulation technique, vigilant anticoagulation management, and continuous multidisciplinary coordination. When expertly implemented, ECMO can salvage patients from the brink of death, preserve critical organ function, and create a vital window of opportunity for further definitive management.</p>
<p>Dr. Vishal Khullar is an expert Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgeon practising in Mumbai. He is committed to providing exceptional care and achieving superior outcomes for his patients. He has successfully performed complex adult cardiac surgery, including redo surgeries, mechanical circulatory support procedures, and complex aortic reconstructions. Prior to returning to India, Dr. Khullar received advanced training at globally acclaimed institutions such as Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic, both internationally recognized for excellence in cardiovascular surgery and advanced cardiac critical care. During his international tenure, he was also a member of the Transplant Selection Committee for donors and recipients, contributing to advanced heart failure and transplant pathway evaluation.</p>
<p>The successful management of this case highlights the growing importance of advanced mechanical circulatory support programs in India. In life-threatening cardiogenic shock, rapid recognition and timely ECMO deployment can mean the difference between survival and irreversible organ failure. With extensive experience in high-acuity cardiac care, Dr. Khullar continues to deliver cutting-edge interventions that redefine survival outcomes in critical cardiac emergencies.</p>

The opening builds on the strong response received at the brand’s earlier stores and reflects rising customer demand for an in-store Freyaa experience.</p>
<p>Borivali East was identified as a key growth market due to its evolving residential ecosystem, premium retail infrastructure, and a growing base of aspirational shoppers. Sky City Mall, with its high footfall and premium positioning, offered the right environment to strengthen Freyaa’s Mumbai presence.</p>
<p>The new store showcases Freyaa’s signature co-ord sets, tunics, kurtis, dresses, and skirts — designed to blend Indian craftsmanship with contemporary silhouettes. The space has been designed to offer an elevated yet approachable shopping experience, allowing customers to engage with the brand beyond digital platforms.</p>
<p>The launch saw strong walk-ins on opening day, reinforcing the brand’s growing offline momentum and community-driven approach to retail.</p>

<p>Dr. Dharmesh Shah, Founder, said,<br>
<em>“Opening our fourth flagship store within a short span is a strong validation of the demand we’re seeing on-ground. Borivali East has shown consistent engagement with our brand online, and we saw clear data indicating readiness for a physical presence here. This   marks the expansion of the Indo-Western category focused on high-potential micro-markets in Mumbai.”</em></p>
<p>Vibha Shah, Director, added,<br>
<em>“Our offline journey has been shaped by customer feedback. Women wanted to experience Indo-Western styling in person. Each new store is chosen based on where our community is growing strongest, and Borivali was a natural next step.”</em></p>
<p>Freyaa’s expansion reflects a calibrated retail strategy, translating its strong digital traction into physical retail presence across high-growth urban clusters. With a loyal customer base across India, the UAE, and the USA, and availability on platforms such as Amazon, Myntra, Walmart, Blinkit, and Furrl, the brand continues to scale while maintaining quality standards, including ISO 9001:2015 certification.</p>
<p>The Borivali East launch further consolidates Freyaa’s position as an emerging name in contemporary Indo-Western fashion, as it steadily builds a stronger retail footprint across Mumbai.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-05T164701.784.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="AGP World Announces Mumbai Return of Theatre Blockbuster Sai - The Musical -PNN"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], March 05: </strong>After a sold-out and widely acclaimed premiere last October in Mumbai on Shirdi Sai Baba’s MahaSamadhi Day, <em>Sai – The Musical</em> is all set to return to the city following strong public demand and an outpouring of love from audiences across age groups and faiths. Presented by AGP World, a leading name in global deck theatre and production, the much-loved musical will be staged on 20th and 21st March 2026 at the St. Andrews Auditorium in Bandra.</p>
<p>The production serves as a charitable gala, with proceeds supporting free, quality education for underprivileged students at Shirdi Sai Baba Schools in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. This season marks a formal collaboration with the Shirdi Sai Baba Temple Society (Saidham.in), a registered trust established in 1988 dedicated to holistic social development, including healthcare and women’s empowerment.</p>
<p>Inspired by the sacred ‘Sai Satcharitra’, <em>Sai – The Musical</em> brings to life the timeless teachings of Shraddha (faith) and Saburi (patience) through a contemporary narrative that bridges the present with flashbacks from a century ago. Featuring 15 original songs performed live on stage, a large ensemble cast, and visually rich stagecraft, the production unfolds as much more than a play… it is a meditative, soul-stirring journey.</p>
<p>Last year’s show witnessed a packed house with both devoted followers of Sai Baba and theatre lovers praising the production for its sincerity, scale and spiritual resonance. The premiere evening was also graced by several distinguished guests, including legendary actress Helen, who was moved by the production. Praising the musical, Helen had said that it brought back memories of her own visits to Sai Baba’s temples and described the experience as “spectacular, warm and heart-touching,” applauding the performances, the music, and the sheer devotion with which the story was brought alive on stage. Her words echoed the sentiment of many in the audience, who left visibly moved.</p>
<p>A significant portion of the ticket sales will be directed toward Sai Dham’s wide-ranging welfare initiatives. Since its founding, Sai Dham has been active in education and skill development, providing free schooling and vocational training; healthcare, delivering critical medical services, including cervical cancer vaccinations for girls; and sustainability, driving livelihood generation and environmental initiatives across India.</p>
<p>Veteran actor Pankaj Berry reprises his acclaimed portrayal of Sai Baba, a performance that has been lauded for its restraint, warmth and spiritual depth. Under the sensitive direction of Atul Satya Koushik, the musical approaches its subject with reverence, focusing not on spectacle alone but on emotional truth and unparalleled devotion.</p>
<p>The creative team includes movement director Bhavna Pani, music composer Anik Sharma, choreographer Devendra Singh, and an international technical team led by Michael Inglis, ensuring a world-class theatrical experience. The ensemble cast also features Akshay Datta, Bhumika Mane, Puneet Mishra and Saberi Bhattacharya.</p>
<p>Producer Ashvin Gidwani – Founder of AGP World, known for high-decibel experiences in theatre, music, and talent management, shares his joy at bringing the production back to Mumbai, “The response to <em>Sai – The Musical</em> last October was overwhelming and very humbling. We had countless messages from people who couldn’t get tickets, urging us to bring it back. This return is entirely driven by public demand. On a personal level, Sai Baba has always been a source of strength and faith for me, so to be able to revive this production again, and to do so while supporting Sai Dham’s incredible work, feels especially meaningful. It truly feels like Baba’s blessings are guiding this journey.”</p>
<p>Following the upcoming shows in March, AGP World’s <em>Sai – The Musical</em> will return once more to Mumbai with a performance scheduled on 19th April 2026 at the Nehru Centre Auditorium in Worli.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2-4.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Prashant Maharaj Ji and Shivshakti Anugrah Peeth: The Divine Union of Service and Spiritual Practice-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><span data-sheets-root="1"><strong>Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], March </strong></span><span><strong>05</strong>: From</span> starting a business at the age of 17 to building an empire by 32 — and then renouncing everything to embrace Shiva’s path of meditation and selfless service.</p>
<p>This story is not merely of a saint, but of a young man who first lived the worldly life fully, and then renounced it to live for Shiva.</p>
<p>At the tender age of 17, a youth from an ordinary family stepped into the world of business. Through tireless effort, discipline, and farsighted vision, he built a vast business empire known as the Pranu Group by the age of just 32. Wealth, prestige, and resources were abundant. He possessed everything that society defines as success.</p>
<p>Yet, within him, a silent question arose:</p>
<p>“Is this the ultimate purpose of life?”</p>
<p>That single question turned his path from the world toward Shiva.</p>
<p><strong>Renunciation of the World and Embrace of Shiva</strong></p>
<p>After touching the heights of business success, he renounced everything—wealth, luxury, identity, and position.</p>
<p>He set out on the path of Shiva’s spiritual discipline.</p>
<p>Mountain caves, forest silence, and deep solitude became his way of life.</p>
<p>Many times, he observed continuous silence (Maun Vrat) for 41 days.</p>
<p>For years, he practiced intense meditation.</p>
<p>At times, he even renounced food and immersed himself completely in spiritual practice.</p>
<p>Today, that same youth is known to society as Prashant Maharaj Ji.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-70803" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-13.jpg" alt="Prashant Maharaj Ji and Shivshakti Anugrah Peeth: The Divine Union of Service and Spiritual Practice-PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p>His life itself has become a single message:</p>
<p>“Service itself is Shivत्व (Divinity).”</p>
<p><strong>Establishment of Shivshakti Anugrah Peeth</strong></p>
<p>Prashant Maharaj Ji did not limit his spiritual journey to personal liberation alone.</p>
<p>He founded Shivshakti Anugrah Peeth with a clear conviction:</p>
<p>“The duty of a saint is not to take, but to give.</p>
<p>True spiritual practice is that which brings light into the lives of others.”</p>
<p>Today, this Peeth stands not only as a spiritual institution but also as a powerful center of social service.</p>
<p><strong>Where Service is Worship</strong></p>
<p>The activities of Shivshakti Anugrah Peeth are not confined to rituals and prayers.</p>
<p>Its mission is to reach the last and most needy person in society.</p>
<p>Major services conducted by the Peeth include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Regular free medical camps</li>
<li>Daily food distribution through Annapurna Kitchen</li>
<li>Cow service through Gaushala management</li>
<li>Shelter arrangements for the helpless</li>
<li>Bal Dham for children</li>
<li>Jyeshthajan Vatsalya (old-age care centers) for the elderly</li>
<li>Vidyapeeth for Sanskrit and Sanatan culture</li>
<li>Mass marriage programs</li>
<li>Self-employment support for women</li>
<li>Bicycle distribution and rural development programs</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Service with Dignity – A New Tradition</strong></p>
<p>The most unique principle of Shivshakti Anugrah Peeth is that anyone who receives help does not feel inferior but respected.</p>
<p>Paperwork and formalities are kept simple so that no one experiences humiliation or hesitation.</p>
<p>The Peeth firmly believes:</p>
<p>“Service is complete only when compassion is accompanied by dignity.”</p>
<p><strong>Modern Technology and Vision for the Future</strong></p>
<p>To organize and expand its service activities, the Peeth has adopted digital systems.</p>
<p>Its future goal is:</p>
<p>To establish service centers in more than 108 villages, where education, healthcare, and employment opportunities will be made easily accessible.</p>
<p><strong>Divine Message of Prashant Maharaj Ji</strong></p>
<p>His thoughts are clearly reflected in his life:</p>
<p>“In true service, God’s grace is received automatically.”</p>
<p>“Service gives birth to compassion, and spiritual practice illuminates the soul.”</p>
<p>The Peeth’s resolve is:</p>
<p>“To erase social evils with the light of knowledge and re-establish Vedic Sanatan Dharma, where religion is not fear, but love and wisdom.”</p>
<p><strong>One Life, Thousands of Lights</strong></p>
<p>Business began at 17.</p>
<p>An empire was built by 32.</p>
<p>And then everything was renounced for Shiva’s path of meditation and service.</p>
<p>This journey is not of one individual alone, but of lighting lamps of hope in thousands of lives.</p>
<p>Today, someone received food.</p>
<p>Someone received treatment.</p>
<p>A child received an education.</p>
<p>And a village received a new direction.</p>
<p>Shivshakti Anugrah Peeth proves that:</p>
<p>True devotion is that which enters someone’s life as light.</p>

<p>Representing the Bay Area on a global stage, Dr. Pandher stands at the intersection of healthcare leadership and modern global influence — redefining what it means to be a professional woman in today’s world.</p>
<p>Her selection places San Francisco in the international spotlight while highlighting the rise of a new generation of women who combine professional authority, cultural representation, and social impact.</p>
<p><strong>A Bay Area Healthcare Leader with Global Influence</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-102439" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-1-6.jpg" alt="San Francisco Dental Surgeon Dr. Goldie Pandher Named Finalist at Haut Monde Mrs. India Worldwide 2026: Championing Women’s Health and Leadership on the Global Stage-PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p>A respected dental surgeon and healthcare advocate, Dr. Pandher leads Pleasanton Valley Dental, a highly regarded dental practice serving patients across the San Francisco Bay Area. Through her work, she has built a reputation for excellence in preventive dentistry, patient education, and long-term oral wellness.</p>
<p>At Pleasanton Valley Dental, Dr. Pandher’s approach centers on empowering patients with knowledge about the connection between oral health and overall wellbeing — positioning dentistry not simply as cosmetic care, but as a critical pillar of lifelong health.</p>
<p>“Oral health is not a luxury — it’s a foundation of overall well-being,” she emphasizes.</p>
<p>“Oral health is one of the most overlooked foundations of well-being. When people understand that prevention and awareness can transform lives, healthcare becomes empowerment.”</p>
<p>Her leadership at Pleasanton Valley Dental reflects a broader mission: ensuring that accessible healthcare education reaches families, women, and children in communities both locally and globally.</p>
<p>Beauty with Intelligence, Leadership, and Purpose</p>
<p>The Haut Monde Mrs. India Worldwide platform has become internationally recognized for celebrating women who lead with substance, service, and sophistication. As a finalist for the 2026 crown, Dr. Pandher represents the new definition of modern beauty — where elegance is amplified by intelligence, professional achievement, and global advocacy.</p>
<p><strong>Using the platform’s international reach, she plans to champion several key initiatives:</strong></p>
<p>•    Women’s health awareness</p>
<p>•    Preventive oral healthcare education</p>
<p>•    Self-confidence and self-worth for modern women</p>
<p>•    Representation of Indian women in global leadership</p>
<p>Her journey reflects a powerful message: that women can pursue professional excellence, family life, and personal ambition without compromise.</p>
<p>In her words:</p>
<p>“You don’t have to choose between your dreams and your responsibilities. When women prioritize their health and believe in their worth, they become unstoppable.”</p>
<p>Through her dual role as a dental surgeon and Mrs. India Worldwide finalist, Dr. Pandher continues to inspire a growing community of women who seek both purpose and success.</p>
<p>The Power of Family and Support</p>
<p>Behind Dr. Pandher’s accomplishments stands the unwavering support of her family. She credits her mother, husband, and two children as the greatest pillars behind her journey — providing strength, encouragement, and inspiration as she balances a thriving dental practice with her international pageant aspirations.</p>
<p>Their support fuels her belief that leadership begins within the family and extends outward into community and global impact.</p>
<p><strong>Beyond the Crown: A Platform for Global Advocacy</strong></p>
<p>For Dr. Goldie Pandher, the Mrs. India Worldwide journey represents far more than a pageant — it is a platform for leadership, visibility, and global advocacy.</p>
<p>Through mentorship, personal development, and international collaboration, the experience has strengthened her commitment to championing healthcare awareness and empowering women worldwide.</p>
<p>As the Mrs. India Worldwide 2026 finals approach, Dr. Pandher emerges not only as a finalist but as a powerful symbol of the modern global Indian woman — accomplished, compassionate, and visionary.</p>
<p>From her work at Pleasanton Valley Dental to the international stage of Mrs. India Worldwide, she continues to make the Bay Area proud while inspiring women around the world to lead with confidence, intelligence, and purpose.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2-3.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="International Conference on Illegal Cross Border Migration highlights urgent need for indigenous AI technologies-PNN"></p><p><strong>Jodhpur </strong><span><strong>(Rajasthan) [India], March 05:</strong> </span>Jai Narain Vyas University (formerly called Jodhpur University), convened a three-day International Conference on Challenges of Illegal migration. Across four technical sessions and three plenary deliberations, 122 research papers were presented by scholars and practitioners representing multiple geographies and startups — reflecting the widening academic and policy engagement with border governance.</p>
<p>The conference was organised with support under the PM-USHA (Pradhan Mantri Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan) scheme of the University Grants Commission. Prof. Pawan Kumar Sharma, Vice-Chancellor of Jai Narain Vyas University, noted that issues of border governance and national security demand deeper academic engagement. The Chief Guest, Dr Shambhu Ram Simkheda – former Chairman of the United Nation Human Rights – shared his experiences regarding border management.</p>
<p>Artificial Intelligence emerged as the central axis of discussion. Deliberations discussed a wide range of issues including AI-enabled biometric identification, predictive risk modelling, automated visa screening, drone and satellite surveillance, and environmental monitoring systems. At the same time, contributors emphasised constitutional accountability, regulatory clarity, and auditability as indispensable safeguards in AI-driven security systems.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-102456" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-7.jpg" alt="International Conference on Illegal Cross Border Migration highlights urgent need for indigenous AI technologies-PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p><strong>RESEARCH EXCELLENCE RECOGNISED</strong></p>
<p>The Best Paper Award was conferred upon Advocate Nidhi, for her paper titled <em>“Artificial Intelligence at the Border: Surveillance, Security, and Human Rights in Transnational Governance.”</em>  She articulated the evolving shift from conventional border mechanisms to algorithm-driven governance frameworks, observing that “Artificial Intelligence must augment human judgment, not replace constitutional accountability.”</p>
<p>Nidhi is a Delhi based lawyer and Law Mentor of Jodhpur based start-up, Leagle AI Pvt Ltd. The startup is engaged in developing AI solutions for improving the productivity, effectiveness and reach of law enforcement agencies and judiciary.  The startup is currently testing the beta version of an indigenous Kodoy AI model which is hosted in the Cyber IIT Neocloud. It addresses emerging challenges across the entire gamut, from prevention of cross border infiltration to timely dispensation of justice. Leagle AI defines its mission as, “working to upgrade law enforcement and judiciary for the AI age.”</p>
<p>The Second Prize was awarded to Mr. T. R. Meghwal, for his paper <em>“National Security Threats and Artificial Intelligence: An Indian Perspective.”</em>  His presentation examined AI-enabled compliance structures and strategic risk management within the national security architecture. He described Artificial Intelligence as “a double-edged sword that demands calibrated and ethical deployment.”  He highlighted that global technological progress could not be slowed down by local legislation or regulation – and thus it was imperative for both to rise to the need to control and benefit from the exponential progress in AI technologies.</p>
<p>Mr TR Meghwal, is a PhD Scholar from the host University and CEO of the University incubated, Legal Process Outsourcing startup – Super Lawyer Pvt. Ltd. The startup is engaged in the development of appropriate technologies to enhance the productivity and efficacy of legal professionals. The Super Lawyer platform also provides suitable simulated and synthetic environments for reinforcement learning and accelerated training for cross border law practitioners. Super Lawyer defines its mission as “making the legal profession AI resilient.”</p>
<p><strong>INCUBATOR ENGAGEMENT</strong></p>
<p>Representatives from Tier 1 non-profit, domestic incubators like the IIT Alumni Startup Incubator (<a href="https://pr.pnndigital.com/admin/www.incubator.org.in" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">www.incubator.org.in</a>) participated in the conference alongside global entrants like FT Morris (<a href="https://pr.pnndigital.com/admin/www.ftmorris.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">www.ftmorris.com</a>). As part of their Jodhpur study tour, the visiting venture capitalists interacted with leadership and innovators at JVNU, MBM, IIT Jodhpur and the AlIMS, underscoring growing global interest in Jodhpur’s emerging research and startup ecosystem.</p>
<p>In their remarks, IIT Alumni Council representatives noted increasing venture and incubator attention toward Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities in India.  They announced plans for a forthcoming national hackathon focused on Artificial Intelligence applications in legal systems, arid agriculture, tourism, forensics, and cyber security — sectors of strategic relevance to India’s development and governance landscape. And also relevant to Jodhpur.</p>
<p>According to Satish Mehta, Convenor of the IIT Alumni Social Fund, “I had the opportunity of attending the Maheshwari Global Summit in Jodhpur earlier this year.  The event was attended by the Home Minister, the IT Minister, Tourism Minister and several other state level dignitaries led by the Chief Minister. We were enthused by the renewed commitment from state level players – like the Rajasthan Venture Fund and Global funds led by people of Jodhpur origin – to invest alongside us. I do see Jodhpur galloping ahead of Jaipur and Udaipur – eventually emerging on par with locations like Goa, Chandigarh, Nagpur and Jabalpur – all of which are University towns with a Bench of the State High Court.”</p>
<p>The conference concluded with broad consensus that twenty-first-century national security demands not only technological advancement but legal foresight and institutional accountability. Motivated by the success of the inaugural International Conference, it is now proposed to make this event a calendar event to be held in February end or March beginning every year.</p>

        <title>Ever Wonder Why Fresh Paint Starts Peeling, Your Walls Might Be Fine but Are They Built to Last</title>

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/ever-wonder-why-fresh-paint-starts-peeling-your-walls-might-be-fine-but-are-they-built-to-last</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-5.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Ever Wonder Why Fresh Paint Starts Peeling, Your Walls Might Be Fine but Are They Built to Last-PNN"></p><p dir="ltr"><span><strong>New Delhi [India], March 05:</strong> </span>A hairline crack appears near the switchboard. At first, it feels harmless. Then a faint, uneven patch forms where the wall meets the ceiling. Months later, the paint begins to peel slightly at the edges. The colour itself hasn’t failed — the surface beneath it has started to give way.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Across Indian homes, similar stories unfold. Homeowners often invest time and resources in selecting the right shade and finish, believing that paint alone defines beauty and durability. Yet the true strength and elegance of a wall begin before the final coat is applied. The layers underneath — particularly wall putty and <a href="https://www.birlawhite.com/en/products/primer" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Wall primer</a> — quietly determine whether that carefully chosen colour remains smooth, vibrant and intact over time.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As homebuilding and renovation decisions in India become more research-driven and digitally informed, there is growing awareness around the importance of surface preparation. Homeowners are increasingly seeking meaningful advancements, such as white cement-based Birla White Wall Seal <a href="https://www.birlawhite.com/en/media/blogs/wallseal-waterproof-putty-the-ultimate-putty-for-wall-dampness?utm_source=indiatvnews.com&utm_campaign=paid_article" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Waterproof Wall Putty</a>. Applied over plastered surfaces, waterproof putty’s anti-carbonation properties help fill minor cracks, smoothen uneven irregularities, and create a level base. This even surface ensures enhanced paint adhesion and durability. Beyond aesthetics, a well-prepared wall can also reduce long-term issues such as peeling, flaking, or patchiness.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Modern <a href="https://www.birlawhite.com/en/products/wall-putty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">best wall putty</a> formulations, such as white cement-based putty strengthened with Extra HP polymers, are designed to help bring out the true tone of paint. Their water-resistant properties offer protection against moisture, particularly in climates marked by humidity and temperature fluctuations. By creating a dense and uniform base, they limit the chances of water seepage affecting the topcoat, contributing to longer-lasting finishes, lower maintenance cycles, and surfaces that are eco-conscious while helping resist the growth of algae and fungi.<br>
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-102409" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-1-4.jpg" alt="Ever Wonder Why Fresh Paint Starts Peeling, Your Walls Might Be Fine but Are They Built to Last-PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.birlawhite.com/en/media/blogs/the-ultimate-guide-to-wall-primer-a-step-by-step-handbook-for-perfect-paint-adhesion-and-durability-with-birla-white" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Primer</a> works in tandem with putty. While putty prepares and smoothens the surface, white cement-based Birla White Activcoat Primer seals it and strengthens the bond between the base layer and paint. Together, they form a cohesive system that enhances durability and finish consistency, offering excellent opacity and whiteness that improves the appearance of the topcoat while helping prevent peeling of emulsion layers over time.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In this evolving landscape of informed construction, the emphasis is steadily moving toward complete surface systems built on white cement-based technologies. As homeowners and architects increasingly priorities durability and progressive product advancements alongside aesthetics, the conversation is no longer limited to color choices alone — it extends to the strength and reliability of the layers beneath, reinforcing the idea white cement advantage of <a href="https://www.birlawhite.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Birla White</a>.</p>
<p dir="ltr">(At Birla White, our commitment has always been to elevate the very foundation of architectural excellence while continuously redefining products that are underpinned by quality, durability and innovation. As a brand that pioneered white cement in India and stands on the strength of a rich heritage of technical leadership and sustainable practices, we take pride in offering solutions that enable architects, and homeowners to create spaces of enduring beauty and performance. Our focus on rigorous quality standards and customer-centric innovation ensures that Birla White remains synonymous with trust, and long-lasting value in the construction landscape.)</p>

        <title>The Best Crypto Presale 2026: UK Stablecoin Inquiry Sparks Market Shifts, but DeepSnitch AI Targets 100x Gains Ahead of Nexchain and Tapzi</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/the-best-crypto-presale-2026-uk-stablecoin-inquiry-sparks-market-shifts-but-deepsnitch-ai-targets-100x-gains-ahead-of-nexchain-and-tapzi</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/the-best-crypto-presale-2026-uk-stablecoin-inquiry-sparks-market-shifts-but-deepsnitch-ai-targets-100x-gains-ahead-of-nexchain-and-tapzi</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-05T155724.073.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Crypto-PNN"></p><p dir="ltr"><strong>New Delhi [India], March 05:</strong> UK lawmakers are questioning Coinbase on the systemic risks of digital currencies. This indicates a massive regulatory shift across the crypto sector. As sovereign governments scrutinize the fundamental safety of stablecoins versus traditional bank deposits, smaller investors want the best crypto presale to buy now.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presale-2026-uk-stablecoin-inquiry-deepsnitch-100x-nexchain-tapzi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> is the top choice, especially after the presale surpassed more than $1.9 million raised. There’s a massive chance that if DeepSnitch AI gets the necessary hype, it will deliver 100x gains ahead of other presales like Tapzi and Nexchain.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">UK parliament interrogates Coinbase</h2>
<p dir="ltr">A regulatory confrontation unfolded this week as the United Kingdom House of Lords intensely interrogated Coinbase’s top vice president for international policy. The parliamentary committee expressed severe concerns regarding the systemic risks that pegged digital assets might pose to the British financial ecosystem.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Lawmakers specifically probed the dangerous possibility of stablecoins draining commercial bank deposits, potentially triggering catastrophic Silicon Valley Bank-style bank runs. The inquiry also heavily questioned the effectiveness of current Know Your Customer protocols. This also included the persistent threat of illicit financial flows utilizing decentralized rails.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">The best crypto presale for the current market</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI ($DSNT): Are 100x gains available in this presale?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI’s distinct utility ensures that the ecosystem will experience relentless, organic demand for as long as smart contracts remain operational anywhere on the blockchain. Because the platform securely anchors its value to the absolute necessity of transaction safety, financial experts confidently assert that if DeepSnitch AI gets the necessary hype, it will deliver 100x gains ahead of Tapzi and Nexchain.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This market positioning has ignited an incredibly early acquisition phase. Institutional and retail backers have collectively poured more than $1,940,000 into the presale.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Driven by this relentless capital influx, the DSNT token has surged to $0.04313, representing an appreciation of over 185% since the presale opened at $0.0151. For aggressive capital allocators evaluating various token presale opportunities, these surging metrics signal overwhelming market conviction.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Taking a strategic position during these heavily discounted stages mathematically guarantees a fortified entry point before the eventual public exchange debut. And with the platform fully operational and intuitive, anyone can make use of the AI agents and products.</p>
<p dir="ltr">There’s also staking available for those who want to earn passive income, making <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presale-2026-uk-stablecoin-inquiry-deepsnitch-100x-nexchain-tapzi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> the top candidate for the best crypto presale.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://youtu.be/4v93DMP95s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/4v93DMP95s</a></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Nexchain presale outlook</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Traders moving through the latest crypto fundraising rounds frequently encounter ambitious infrastructure projects like Nexchain. Promoted heavily as an AI Layer-1 blockchain, the network promises to handle a staggering 400,000 transactions per second while maintaining microscopic gas fees near $0.001. But these are just promises, and they are yet to be met.</p>
<p dir="ltr">However, the glaring vulnerability for Nexchain is the extreme competitive intensity of its chosen sector. The Layer-1 arena is brutally dominated by established coins like Ethereum and Solana, which already command immense liquidity, deeply entrenched developer communities, and unparalleled infrastructure depth.</p>
<p dir="ltr">On the other hand, a presale like DeepSnitch AI has built a utility that is used by everyone in the market, securing its place as a better contender for the best crypto presale.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Tapzi presale analysis</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The ongoing search for high-growth, low-cap presale coins often leads speculative investors toward the GameFi sector. Tapzi operates as a skill-to-earn platform on the BNB Chain. The ecosystem allows participants to wager native tokens to enter strategy-based matches like chess and checkers.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The existential threat to Tapzi is the notorious challenge of long-term user retention. Gaming economies are incredibly fragile, relying entirely on a perpetual inflow of new players and constant daily engagement to survive.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Historically, even heavily funded metaverses like Decentraland have suffered massive, unrecoverable player exoduses. If user growth eventually stalls within Tapzi, the central prize pools will immediately shrink. This makes DeepSnitch AI a better option as the best crypto presale.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Final thoughts</h2>
<p dir="ltr">As international lawmakers intensely debate the systemic risks of stablecoins, the market clearly demands verified, autonomous security solutions. Many investors believe that if DeepSnitch AI gets the necessary hype, it will deliver 100x gains ahead of Tapzi and Nexchain, securing its title as the best crypto presale. And if you can use the DSNTVIP50 promo code, you get a 50% bonus when you join the presale.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">What is the best crypto presale to buy now?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Finding the best crypto presale leads investors to platforms like DeepSnitch AI, which provide the independent tracking tools necessary to secure capital.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Why are Layer-1 projects like Nexchain considered highly risky token presale opportunities?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Layer-1 networks are considered highly risky token presale opportunities because they must compete directly against massive ecosystems like Ethereum and Solana.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">What specific metric makes tracking crypto fundraising rounds so important for retail investors?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Diligent tracking of crypto fundraising rounds allows retail investors to discover projects that are accumulating massive capital inflows like DeepSnitch AI.</p>

<div class="col-12 col-sm-7 col-lg-7"><span><strong>Gurugram (Haryana) [India], March 05:</strong> </span>Emergencies do not unfold in isolation anymore. They are cross-border, time-sensitive and increasingly complex. A medical crisis while studying abroad, a vehicle breakdown on an intercity highway, a damaged smartphone during travel or an electrical failure at home requires more than financial coverage. It requires immediate response, verified expertise and structured execution.</div>

<div class="col-12 col-sm-7 col-lg-7">
<p><span dir="LTR">This growing need has given rise to a new category in India: </span><strong><span dir="LTR">Assurance.</span></strong></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">Assurance can be seen as a combination of a product that caters to the customer’s needs, along with the last-mile end-to-end assistance layer added. It is built around real-time response, network mobilization and seamless coordination across service providers. As mobility increases, devices become indispensable and households rely on interconnected systems, assurance is emerging as an essential infrastructure layer supporting individuals and enterprises alike.</span></p>
<p><strong><span dir="LTR">Neeraj Verma, Founder and CEO of Across Assist, commented, </span></strong><em><span dir="LTR">“Emergencies are unpredictable, but the response to them should never be. As mobility increases and lives become more interconnected across geographies and devices, the need for structured, real-time response has become critical. Assurance is about building that response infrastructure. It is about ensuring that when something goes wrong, there is a verified network, activated instantly, that brings clarity, instant response and continuity during moments that matter most.”</span></em></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">At the forefront of this category is </span><a href="https://www.acrossassist.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><u><span dir="LTR">Across Assist</span></u></a><span dir="LTR">, India’s first integrated 360-degree assurance platform spanning travel, medical, automobile, electronics and mobile protection. Headquartered in Gurgaon, the company has built one of the country’s largest and most comprehensive emergency response networks, operating across 90 percent of Indian pin codes and 190+ countries worldwide.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">Today, Across Assist supports over five million customers and works with more than 100 institutional partners. Its infrastructure includes a network of 10,000+ verified service providers, 3,000+ multi-specialty hospitals, 5,000+ specialist doctors, 2,000+ ambulances and paramedic units, 426+ air ambulance partners and 1,500+ pharmacy partners. This ecosystem enables rapid activation of support services during medical emergencies, roadside breakdowns, travel disruptions and appliance failures.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">In travel and medical, </span><a href="https://www.acrossassist.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><u><span dir="LTR">Across Assist</span></u></a><span dir="LTR"> provides 24×7 multilingual response capabilities, connecting individuals to hospitals, specialists and emergency evacuation services across borders. With access to thousands of global hospitals and a large air ambulance network, the platform enables safe mobilization during critical incidents.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">In the automobile ecosystem, the company operates one of India’s largest integrated roadside networks, offering onsite repair, towing, battery assistance, replacement key support, challan assistance and personal accident cover, supported by live tracking and digital claim visibility. In electronics and mobile protection, its structured workflows enable doorstep pickup, certified repair, extended warranty and appliance breakdown coverage, reducing downtime and service friction.</span></p>

Automated service orchestration enables real-time WhatsApp updates, live technician tracking, one-tap digital claims and streamlined documentation.

<p><span dir="LTR">As the country becomes more mobile, digitally connected and globally engaged, the nature of risk continues to evolve.

<div class="row">
<div class="col-12 col-sm-7 col-lg-7">The search for the best crypto presale to invest in is a constant one, but when signs of a true recovery come in crypto markets, it just makes that search more relevant. Investors know that when new coins enter markets during ascending trends, their growth potential is boosted.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-12 col-lg-12 col-xl-12 ">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12 col-sm-7 col-lg-7">
<p dir="ltr">Now and then, however, a new crypto comes with potential for growing at all times. That is the case of <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presale-to-invest-in-march-subbd-aprz-deepsnitch-400x-potential" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a>. Its revolutionary AI tool, coupled with a massive target market, makes it the clearest case for a crypto explosion this year that could generate 400x returns in your wallet.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Bitcoin jumps above $72,000, giving signs of a potential breakthrough recovery</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Investors have been busy looking for the best crypto presale to invest in March, as markets undergo the turmoil created by the conflict in the Middle East. Then, on March 4, what virtually everyone was waiting for finally took place: Bitcoin was able to break the stubborn $70,000 resistance.</p>
<p dir="ltr">What is astounding is that this happened under heavy geopolitical tensions. Indeed, some noted, with certain irony, that Bitcoin has outperformed gold amid these uncertain times, precisely when famous investor Ray Dalio questioned BTC’s role as a safe-haven asset.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The famous investor Ray Dalio argued that Bitcoin should not be compared to gold, as gold was falling 3% and BTC was rising.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As signs of a serious recovery for crypto markets are coming in, here are some of the best crypto presales to invest in this month.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Presales to invest in March for big returns in 2026</h2>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI (DSNT)</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI is the most sophisticated AI implementation in crypto to this day. There is simply no AI coin that has a tech layer so well designed and implemented. And this is going to make (actually, it is already making) all the difference when it comes to exponential growth this year.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The system consists of a suite of five AI agents that transform crypto data into market intelligence by working as a “brain ecosystem”. This involves different kinds of tasks: from spotting sentiment shifts out of ledger data to analysing a coin’s legitimacy from its smart contract. The result is a powerful tool that dramatically improves the DYOR process of investing, among other benefits.</p>
<p dir="ltr">And this won’t be reserved for a few whales, but will be available to the more than half a billion crypto holders around the world. You can’t get more explosive fundamentals than that.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It’s no surprise, therefore, that DeepSnitch AI’s has one of the fastest pace ever recorded. In just 6 stages out of 15, more than $1.93 million has been raised, even though the entry price is still only $0.04313 (which creates more than enough upside for a 100x price acceleration). All of this makes DeepSnitch AI the best crypto presale to invest in this year. But there’s more, much more.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Presale crypto bonuses are given for investments of various sizes. The largest one is a jaw-dropping 300% bonus for a $30k investment. In practical terms, this would turn a 100x price increase into 400x returns.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But that kind of exponential growth requires quick action. Only those who take part now in the <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presale-to-invest-in-march-subbd-aprz-deepsnitch-400x-potential" target="_blank" rel="noopener">presale</a> will see their wallets explode this year.</p>
<p dir="ltr"></p>
<ol start="2">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">SUBBD (SUBBD)</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">SUBBD is the coin powering an AI agent creator platform, focused on content creation. It has been named among the best crypto presales to invest in for quite some time, due to its well-designed technical layer. So far, as of March 4, the presale has raised almost $1.5 million with an entry price of $0.0575125.</p>
<p dir="ltr">These figures aren’t as impressive as the ones from DeepSnitch AI, but they are pretty good nonetheless. For those looking for crypto seed round access, SUBBD is one of the best options to consider.</p>
<ol start="3">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">Apemars (APRZ)</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Apemars is a meme coin featuring a funny ape. Unlike DeepSnitch AI and SUBBD, Apemars has no intrinsic utility. It is instead a “pure meme” whose sole purpose is to serve as an investment mechanism.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Its staged token pricing goes through 23 stages, of which 10 have already passed. Given its relatively low entry price of $0.00009131, APRZ is also considered one of the best crypto presales to invest in this month.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The best crypto presales to invest in March include projects as different as SUBBD and Apemars. But at the top spot, as the clearest shot for exponential returns this year, lies DeepSnitch AI.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In any case, only those who invest now in the presale and take advantage of the bonuses (30% code: DSNTVIP30, 50% code: DSNTVIP50, 150% code: DSNTVIP150, 300% code: DSNTVIP300) will see their wallets explode down the road.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Visit the official website to buy into the DeepSnitch AI <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presale-to-invest-in-march-subbd-aprz-deepsnitch-400x-potential" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">presale</a> now, and visit <a href="https://x.com/deepsnitchai">X</a> and <a href="https://t.me/deepsnitchofficial">Telegram</a> for the latest community updates.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">How much of DeepSnitch AI’s system has been developed so far?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI has what is likely the most advanced product development stage for any presale in history. That’s not an exaggeration. The AI agents are already layered, alive, and ready to work. That’s another reason why so many investors consider it the best crypto presale to invest in right now.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Why is DeepSnitch AI expected to explode this year?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The main driver is DeepSnitch AI’s massive adoption potential. Just capturing a tiny fraction of its target market would make DSNT’s demand spike wildly.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">What level of adoption would make DSNT’s price spike 100x?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">A baseline estimation is that when DeepSnitch AI reaches 1.45 million users, DSNT’s price will be $4.5. That’s more than 100x its current price.</p>

        <title>New Crypto March 2026: South Korea Cracks Down on Exchange Monopolies, But Investors Could See USD 500k Profits With This New Crypto as Sui and TAO Stagnate</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-4-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="New Crypto March 2026: South Korea Cracks Down on Exchange Monopolies, But Investors Could See USD 500k Profits With This New Crypto as Sui and TAO Stagnate-PNN"></p><div class="col-12 col-lg-12 col-xl-12 ">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12 col-sm-7 col-lg-7">East Asian lawmakers are forcibly restructuring the equity of massive trading hubs. This is why market participants are reevaluating their capital exposure to centralized entities. This legislative crackdown has triggered a massive liquidity migration, with investors now looking for the best new crypto.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-12 col-lg-12 col-xl-12 ">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12 col-sm-7 col-lg-7">
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-new-crypto-south-korea-exchange-monopolies-deepsnitch-500k-sui-tao" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> satisfies all the requirements as the top project to consider. It has the hype, and the presale is going very well. That’s why it has raised almost $2 million with Stage 6 closing very soon. Now could be the best time to join the new crypto with the potential to turn a $5k entry into $500k profits.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">South Korea mandates equity dilution</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The Republic of Korea has initiated a legislative maneuver targeting the monopolistic control of domestic cryptocurrency exchanges. Following intensive deliberations, the ruling Democratic Party’s digital asset task force and the Financial Services Commission have forged a binding agreement to permanently cap the ownership stakes of major shareholders at 20%.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This enforcement decree is explicitly designed to dismantle the centralized grip of massive platforms like Upbit and Bithumb, which currently dominate roughly 90% of the local trading market.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Under the newly proposed framework, these exchanges will be granted a strict three-year grace period to completely overhaul their ownership structures and dilute their major equity holdings.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Top crypto projects to consider in the current market</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI ($DSNT): Here’s why this new crypto could turn $5k into $500K</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The regulatory restructuring of centralized exchanges in East Asia perfectly explains the vulnerability of trusting corporate monopolies. As massive trading platforms face forced equity dilution and intense government scrutiny, DeepSnitch AI emerges as an autonomous, decentralized sanctuary for independent capital.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Serving as the ultimate risk-mitigation engine, this advanced intelligence protocol entirely removes the necessity to trust vulnerable third-party custodians.</p>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI is now operational for any user or investor. An example of the new features DeepSnitch AI has is that there’s a zero-latency trading bridge. During periods of extreme market panic or severe network congestion, this proprietary routing system guarantees flawless execution. This allows users to extract their profits while competitors remain paralyzed by interface failures.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Mastering this array of analytical and intelligence tools requires absolutely zero programming knowledge, as the entire suite is elegantly integrated into a sleek, dark-themed command interface. Transitioning to long-term wealth income, DeepSnitch AI has made staking available during the presale phase.</p>
<p dir="ltr">More than 41 million tokens have been staked already within the staking smart contracts, unlocking a dynamic, limitless APY. And with the potential to ignite a spectacular valuation surge upon future Tier-1 public market listings, <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-new-crypto-south-korea-exchange-monopolies-deepsnitch-500k-sui-tao" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> is the top new crypto to buy now.</p>
<p dir="ltr"></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Sui price prediction</h3>
<p dir="ltr">As traders search the market for the ideal new crypto, establishing context against prominent layer-one networks like Sui is crucial. The network recently made global headlines by debuting its native USDsui stablecoin on the mainnet, partnering directly with the payment giant Stripe.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This integration promises to utilize yields from its backing assets to systematically repurchase and burn SUI tokens while funding decentralized finance incentives.</p>
<p dir="ltr">However, analyzing the overarching technical indicators presents a highly restricted growth ceiling for retail investors. Currently hovering below its 200-Day SMA of $2.15, the asset is struggling to build explosive, sustained momentum.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Price predictions suggest Sui might only reach $2.16 by the conclusion of 2026, offering a 123% appreciation.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Bittensor market update</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Assuming you’re searching for new cryptocurrency launches, Bittensor should probably not be on your list.  It is one of the top AI coins, which means it always has a large market cap. The token has recorded a modest 6% price increase over the past seven days as of March 4th. However, it is actively underperforming when measured against competing smart contract platforms.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Trading below its 200-Day SMA of $305.69, the decentralized machine learning network faces a grueling battle to reclaim its previous historic highs. Forecasting algorithms predict the asset will reach $438.08 by the end of 2026. While a 127% gain over several years might satisfy conservative institutional portfolios, it completely fails to deliver the massive returns required by many investors.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Final verdict</h2>
<p dir="ltr">As a project many consider the best new crypto, DeepSnitch AI offers a fully active, hyper-lucrative defense ecosystem. It helps you stay ahead in the crypto market, but it also offers financial opportunities.</p>
<p dir="ltr">By using the promo code DSNTVIP50 during the presale, you can get a 50% bonus. Let’s say you make a $5k buy at the current asset valuation, you get about 115,928 DSNT tokens. By applying the promo code DSNTVIP50 during checkout, buyers trigger a 50% multiplier.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">Frequently asked questions</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">How does finding a fundamentally strong new crypto protect investors from centralized exchange crackdowns?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Investing in a strong new crypto project like DeepSnitch AI allows users to utilize completely decentralized analytical tools and yield-generation smart contracts.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">What specific metrics should traders look for when analyzing recently listed crypto coins?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">When analyzing recently listed crypto coins, traders should strictly prioritize low initial market capitalizations, fully operational technological utility, and massive community staking participation to ensure long-term price stability.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">How does the introduction of new blockchain tokens affect the dominance of older Layer-1 networks?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">New blockchain tokens that offer specialized utility, such as advanced AI security, systematically drain retail liquidity away from older Layer-1 networks that solely rely on basic transaction processing.</p>

<p>Beginning tomorrow, a nine-member delegation of marketing and exhibition specialists led by CEO Phil Chung is participating in ITB Berlin to engage with leading trade fair organizers, destination marketing companies (DMCs), and tourism authorities from Europe, Asia, the Americas, and other global markets. The team is actively promoting Yashobhoomi as a next-generation MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) hub while strengthening India’s positioning in the global destination marketing landscape.</p>
<p>During the exhibition, KINEXIN initiated strategic discussions with Messe Berlin, operator of Berlin’s primary exhibition grounds, to explore future collaboration in business tourism–related exhibitions and trade fair development. The dialogue focused on potential co-development opportunities, knowledge exchange, and joint initiatives in the rapidly evolving global MICE sector.</p>
<p>Beyond institutional partnerships, the Yashobhoomi delegation conducted extensive meetings with international exhibition organizers to negotiate mid- to long-term hosting arrangements in India. Among the most significant outcomes were advanced discussions to host major international conventions in the fields of cryptocurrency and advanced experience (AX) technologies starting in 2026 on a multi-year basis.</p>
<p>Additional negotiations covered many new international events across diverse sectors, including Hotel/hospitality, Business tourism, Medical tourism, European furniture, telecommunication tech, Corporate events(India, China, Korea and EU), railway, European corporate incentives, European mobility show, airline convention, sustainability, motivational marketing conventions, and expos.</p>
<p>These international events are currently under discussion with organizers based in the United States, France, Germany, and Greater China, with the aim of bringing recurring global exhibitions and congresses to India.</p>
<p>Furthermore, KINEXIN engaged with Korean tour operators and destination management companies attending ITB Berlin to explore hosting multiple Korean corporate events and incentive programs at Yashobhoomi. A formal agreement is expected to be discussed in the near future, signaling growing interest from Korean enterprises in leveraging India as a strategic corporate event destination.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2-3.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Matchbest Group Launches Xelta Ai, A Generative AI Platform Designed to Transform Creative Intelligence-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><span data-sheets-root="1"><strong>New Delhi [India], March 05:</strong> </span>In a major development in the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence, Matchbest Group has launched its new generative AI platform Xelta.ai, introducing a system designed not just to generate content but to orchestrate complete creative ecosystems.</p>
<p>The platform was officially unveiled this week by Matchbest Group CEO Vishal Arya, who described the initiative as a step toward redefining how ideas are transformed into scalable digital experiences.</p>
<p><a href="https://xelta.ai/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Xelta.ai</a> introduces what the company calls structured creative infrastructure, built around a proprietary AI engine known as Content Flow. The system enables a single idea to evolve into a fully integrated multi-format digital presence, bringing together storytelling, learning, marketing, branding, and distribution within one unified AI Studio.</p>
<p>Unlike traditional AI generators that operate as isolated tools, Xelta.ai functions as a centralized creative system where users can develop entire content ecosystems from one concept. Through its Content Flow<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley"> architecture, a simple idea can be transformed into microdrama series designed for mobile audiences, AI-generated comics, structured microcourses for learning platforms, promotional campaigns, AI-powered home design visualizations, and performance-driven advertising creatives.</p>
<p>The platform also includes a Smart Ads Engine for optimized marketing campaigns and LinkedIn AutoPost, which enables automated professional publishing and thought leadership distribution.</p>
<p>The workflow of the platform follows a structured transformation pipeline — moving from idea to script, script to visual, visual to course, course to promotion, and finally to distribution. This integrated approach allows creators, educators, brands, and entrepreneurs to build complete digital ecosystems without relying on multiple disconnected platforms.</p>
<p>Speaking about the launch, Matchbest Group CEO Vishal Arya said the platform was developed to empower creators, entrepreneurs, educators, and enterprises to convert ideas into intelligent and scalable experiences. He also expressed gratitude to the company’s partners, development team, and supporters who contributed to turning the vision into reality.</p>
<p>With Xelta.ai, Matchbest Group positions itself at the intersection of generative AI, creative automation, micro-learning, performance marketing, and digital storytelling infrastructure. The platform aims to address the growing demand for systems that combine speed, creativity, and strategic structure in the digital economy.</p>
<p>Designed as an all-in-one AI Creative Studio, Xelta.ai integrates tools for text generation, visual creation, video storytelling, course development, campaign design, and professional publishing. Built for creators, marketers, agencies, product teams, and professionals, the platform enables seamless workflows from idea to creation, optimization, and distribution.</p>
<p>Its AI-powered creative suite allows users to produce cinematic microdramas, comics, interactive courses, promotional media, and AI-generated visuals within a single workspace. Integrated editing tools also support background removal, asset refinement, branded layouts, campaign templates, and production-ready media creation.</p>
<p>Business-focused features such as the Smart Ads Engine ensure that content not only looks creative but also performs effectively in marketing environments. Meanwhile, professional tools like LinkedIn AutoPost and the Thought Leadership Toolkit help leaders and entrepreneurs maintain a consistent professional presence through automated publishing.</p>
<p>With the launch of <a href="https://xelta.ai/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Xelta.ai</a>, Matchbest Group CEO Vishal Arya emphasized that artificial intelligence is moving beyond simple content generation toward the orchestration of structured creative ecosystems. The platform represents a shift in how digital ideas are transformed into scalable media, learning, and marketing assets for the modern digital economy.</p>

        <title>How Better Workplace Design Can Empower Indian Women to Thrive Professionally</title>

<p>In India, gender-based inclusion often tends to revolve around themes like hiring, leadership, mentorship, or return-to-work pathways. The physical workplace, where most day-to-day tasks are carried out, receives far less attention. Yet it can be argued that it is the most important determiner of workplace success; shaping how women employees go about their day, how they interact with colleagues, and how comfortable they feel taking on responsibility.</p>
<p>This International Women’s Day, let us ask this important question: Does workplace design influence the quality of women’s professional engagement? Yes, the layout of an office plays a big role in this context, albeit in subtle ways. A meeting room that feels too formal or intimidating may discourage open discussion. A lack of private corners, where noise cancellation is a priority, can make it hard to concentrate. Even fixed desks or non-adjustable seating can lead to physical strain over time.</p>
<p>This is especially discouraging for many Indian women who have to manage long commutes and/or caregiving duties alongside their careers. Physical discomfort at work can add to this load, making work-life balance a distant dream. The solution here lies in making sure that ergonomic seating and adjustable desks are set up at the office. This helps reduce fatigue during extended hours at a screen. This also makes it easier to stay engaged throughout the day.</p>
<p>Space planning is another factor that can have an effect on collaboration. For instance, offices built around enclosed cabins or rigid departmental layouts can limit informal exchange. On the other hand, shared work areas or small meeting pods allow conversations to happen more naturally. It is definitely easier for professionals returning from career breaks to reconnect with teams in such settings, in addition to building everyday working relationships with greater ease.</p>
<p>Other factors that can make work life easier for women employees include access to natural light, which can improve alertness during long working hours. Quiet rooms can offer a place to step away between meetings, while acoustic privacy can support focused work when required. These features can also help manage demanding schedules with greater ease.</p>
<p>As mentioned earlier, professional and personal duties often overlap for an Indian woman. This is especially true when she is a new mother. Workplaces have to accommodate these unique requirements. Infant care rooms or child-friendly areas acknowledge that caregiving continues beyond the home.</p>
<p>Additionally, for women employees to connect more with their workplace through a cultural denominator, common spaces that reflect local traditions or festive moments can help them feel more at ease in formal environments.</p>
<p>These suggestions are not merely preferences, but practical enablers of performance…and data affirms this too. According to a recent workplace design report, teams led by women working in ergonomically responsive and flexible environments have reported up to a 30% higher innovation rate and a 15% increase in retention.</p>
<p>The bottom line is simple: when women feel supported by the spaces they work in, they are more likely to remain committed to their roles. Design can play an enabling role in this regard, as embedding inclusive, ergonomically sound, and culturally resonant elements into the workplace can help unlock the full potential of a diverse talent pool.<br>

        <title>Historic Maritime Leap: Under CM Devendra Fadnavis, Minister Nitesh Rane Launches Mumbai–Vijaydurg Ro&amp;Pax Ferry, Ushering in Maharashtra’s Water Transport Revolution</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-05-03-26-1-2.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Ferry" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 05: </strong>Maharashtra has taken a major stride toward strengthening coastal transportation with the launch of the <strong>M2M Princess Ro-Pax Ferry Service </strong>connecting Mumbai to Vijaydurg in Sindhudurg district. The new maritime route is being celebrated as a milestone in the state’s efforts to modernize water transport and unlock the immense potential of its long coastline.</p>
<p>The ferry service was inaugurated on <strong>1st March </strong>by the Hon’ble Fisheries and Ports Minister and Guardian Minister of Sindhudurg, <strong>Shri Nitesh Rane</strong>, under the leadership of Hon’ble Chief Minister <strong>Shri Devendra Fadnavis</strong>. The initiative represents a significant push toward improving coastal mobility, promoting tourism, and providing a faster travel alternative between Mumbai and the Konkan region.</p>
<h1>Strengthening Maharashtra’s Maritime Vision</h1>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-70811 aligncenter" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-05-03-26-2-1.jpg" alt="Ferry" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p>Maharashtra’s vast coastline presents enormous opportunities for maritime transport and economic development. Recognizing this potential, the state government has been actively promoting projects that enhance coastal connectivity and improve transport infrastructure.</p>
<p>Under the leadership of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, maritime development has received renewed attention. The Mumbai–Vijaydurg ferry service reflects the government’s long-term vision of creating an efficient water transport network that complements existing road and rail systems.</p>
<p>Ports and Fisheries Minister Nitesh Rane has played an important role in driving initiatives aimed at improving connectivity in the Konkan region. His efforts have focused on promoting infrastructure that supports tourism, local businesses, and regional development.</p>
<h1>Role of the Maharashtra Maritime Board</h1>
<p>The project has been implemented with the support of the <strong>Maharashtra Maritime Board (MMB)</strong>, the nodal agency responsible for managing and developing the state’s non-major ports.</p>
<p>MMB has facilitated the development of this new ferry route as part of its broader strategy to expand coastal transport services. With Maharashtra’s coastline stretching more than <strong>877 kilometers</strong>, the board continues to explore innovative ways to utilize maritime routes for passenger travel and economic growth.</p>
<h1>Introducing the M2M Princess Ro-Pax Ferry</h1>
<p>The centerpiece of the initiative is the <strong>M2M Princess</strong>, a modern Ro-Pax ferry designed to carry both passengers and vehicles. The Roll-On/Roll-Off system allows travelers to board the ferry with their vehicles and drive off at the destination, making the journey seamless and convenient.</p>
<h2>Key Features of the Vessel</h2>
<ul>
<li>Passenger Capacity: Up to <strong>626 passengers</strong></li>
<li>Car Capacity: Approximately <strong>40 four-wheel vehicles</strong></li>
<li>Motorcycle Capacity: Around <strong>25 bikes</strong></li>
<li>Estimated Travel Time: About <strong>7 hours between Mumbai and Vijaydurg</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>The ferry is equipped with comfortable seating and modern onboard facilities to ensure a safe and pleasant travel experience for passengers.</p>
<h1>A Faster and Scenic Travel Alternative</h1>
<p>Traveling by road from Mumbai to Sindhudurg typically takes <strong>10 to 12 hours</strong>, depending on traffic and road conditions. The new ferry route significantly reduces travel time while offering passengers a relaxing journey across the Arabian Sea.</p>
<p>Apart from saving time, the ferry service offers several advantages:</p>
<ul>
<li>Reduced pressure on highways</li>
<li>A more sustainable mode of transport</li>
<li>Comfortable long-distance travel</li>
<li>A scenic sea journey along the Konkan coast</li>
</ul>
<p>For many travelers, the opportunity to combine convenience with breathtaking coastal views makes the ferry an attractive option.</p>
<h1>Enthusiastic Public Response</h1>
<p>The launch of the ferry service generated widespread excitement among passengers and residents. The <strong>inaugural sailing of the M2M Princess was fully booked</strong>, reflecting strong public interest in the new transport option.</p>
<p>Passengers welcomed the service as a long-awaited alternative to long road journeys. The overwhelming response highlights the growing demand for efficient maritime connectivity between Mumbai and the Konkan region.</p>
<h1>Boost to Tourism in Sindhudurg</h1>
<p><strong> <img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-70812" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-05-03-26-3.jpg" alt="Ferry" width="1200" height="675"></strong></p>
<p>Sindhudurg district is known for its pristine beaches, historic forts, and rich coastal culture. The direct ferry connection from Mumbai to Vijaydurg is expected to attract more tourists to the region.</p>
<p>Weekend travelers and holidaymakers from Mumbai and nearby cities will now find it easier to visit the Konkan coast. Increased tourist inflow is likely to benefit local businesses, including hotels, restaurants, and tourism operators.</p>
<p>This improved accessibility can also strengthen economic ties between Mumbai and southern Konkan districts.</p>
<h1>Toward a Modern Water Transport Network</h1>
<p>The launch of the Mumbai–Vijaydurg Ro-Pax ferry service represents an important step toward building a comprehensive coastal transport system in Maharashtra.</p>
<p>With strong leadership from Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, the proactive initiatives of Ports and Fisheries Minister Nitesh Rane, and the operational support of the Maharashtra Maritime Board, the state is steadily advancing its maritime infrastructure.</p>
<p>The success of the M2M Princess ferry service demonstrates the potential of water transport to play a larger role in Maharashtra’s future mobility landscape.</p>
<h1>Conclusion</h1>
<p>The introduction of the M2M Princess Ro-Pax ferry service marks a significant milestone in Maharashtra’s coastal development journey. By providing faster travel, promoting tourism, and strengthening regional connectivity, the project has set the stage for a new chapter in maritime transportation.</p>
<p>As the state continues to explore innovative ways to utilize its extensive coastline, initiatives like this ferry service are expected to contribute to sustainable growth, improved mobility, and stronger economic development across the Konkan region.</p>

        <title>Sharul Channa, Singapore’s Leading Stand&amp;Up Comic, Teams Up with Renowned Saree Brand, Suta for Women’s Day India Tour</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-05-03-26-1-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Sharul" decoding="async"></p><p><span data-sheets-root="1"><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 05:</strong> </span>This Women’s Day month, internationally acclaimed comedian <a href="https://www.sharulchanna.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sharul Channa</a>, recognised among Asia’s Top 10 comedians and Singapore’s only full-time female stand-up comedian, returns to her roots with a highly anticipated multi-city India tour.</p>
<p>Titled <a href="https://www.theticket9.com/event/saree-these-are-just-jokes-coimbatore" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><em>“Saree, These Are Just Jokes”</em></strong></a><a href="https://www.theticket9.com/event/saree-these-are-just-jokes-coimbatore" target="_blank" rel="noopener">,</a> Sharul will tour across <strong>Coimbatore (13 March), Chennai (14 March), Bengaluru (20 March), Mumbai (21 March), Pune (22 March), Baroda (26<sup>th</sup> March), Chandigarh (3<sup>rd</sup> April) and Hyderabad (5 April),</strong> bringing her signature fearless humour, razor-sharp storytelling, and unfiltered cultural commentary to audiences across the country.</p>
<p>In an industry still largely male-dominated, Sharul has carved a distinctive space — bold, sharp and deeply authentic. Her comedy explores identity, diaspora life, cultural contradictions, and the everyday realities of modern women navigating multiple worlds.</p>
<p>This multi-city tour marks two significant milestones in Sharul’s career. As she completes 15 years in stand-up comedy, she also becomes the first Singapore-based Indian comedian to undertake an extensive eight-city tour across India — a testament to her growing cross-border influence and the rising cultural exchange between India and Singapore.</p>
<p>This tour also marks a powerful collaboration with Suta, the women-led saree brand founded by sisters Sujata and Taniya Biswas. Known for redefining sarees for the contemporary woman, Suta blends handwoven traditions with comfort, individuality, and conscious design.</p>
<p>As the official wardrobe collaborator for the tour, Suta becomes an extension of Sharul’s narrative — confident, contemporary, rooted, and self-expressive. Performing in a saree is not a costume choice, but a statement. Together, Sharul and Suta challenge long-held stereotypes: that comedy must look a certain way, that tradition is restrictive, or that femininity must be softened to be powerful.</p>
<p>Speaking about her upcoming India tour, Sharul Channa shares <strong><em>“</em></strong>This India tour feels incredibly special because I’m coming home not just as a comedian, but as a woman who has built her voice across cultures. Stand-up comedy is still a male-dominated space, and I’ve had to constantly challenge what people think a comedian should look like, sound like, or talk about. Performing in a saree this tour, in collaboration with Suta, is my way of saying that tradition and rebellion can coexist. The saree isn’t a costume — it’s identity. It’s strength. It is heritage worn on my terms. As someone who lives between India and Singapore, I’ve learned that humour travels across borders, but authenticity is universal. This Women’s Day month, I hope audiences see that taking up space — loudly, unapologetically — is not just powerful, it’s necessary.”</p>
<p>Sharul’s journey from India to Singapore and onto global comedy stages mirrors the growing cultural exchange between India and Singapore. With deep diaspora ties and expanding collaborations across business, arts and entertainment, the two nations share a dynamic relationship — and Sharul’s cross-border career stands as a contemporary example of that connection. Her homecoming tour becomes not just a performance series, but a celebration of how Indian voices are shaping and thriving on global stages.</p>
<p>The show features all-new material exploring modern womanhood, multicultural identity, relationships, societal expectations, and the absurdities women navigate daily — delivered with her trademark wit and refreshing honesty.</p>
<p>Don’t miss out on the chance to witness one of the most exciting and influential voices in comedy today. Sharul Channa is not just making it big – she’s redefining the landscape for women in comedy.</p>
<p>With Hyderabad already sold out, the tour is generating strong audience interest across cities.</p>

        <title>Kennedy: Why This Thriller Tops the List of New Movies on ZEE5 Right Now</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/kennedy-why-this-thriller-tops-the-list-of-new-movies-on-zee5-right-now</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/kennedy-why-this-thriller-tops-the-list-of-new-movies-on-zee5-right-now</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-02-03-26.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Kennedy"></p><p><span><strong>New Delhi [India], March 05:</strong> </span>Thriller movies are well known for their absolute storytelling, tension, suspense and a lot more. These movies not only offer absolute gunshots and fast car chases, but they also bring up silence. Shadows along with it. Kennedy on ZEE5 is the story of a man who is facing insomnia due to his past.</p>
<p>Anurag Kashyap has come up with absolute movies that feel dirty, real and impossible to run away from. If you are willing to watch a movie that is intense, moody and deeply connecting, Kennedy is a movie you must watch. After achieving a huge success in theatres, the movie has finally been released on ZEE5 and is doing really great here as well. Performance of Rahul Bhat, empty streets of Mumbai, and a lot more is there that appears to be quite realistic and touching.</p>
<h2>A Man Who Should Be Dead But Isn’t</h2>
<p>Kennedy is one of the <a href="https://www.zee5.com/movies/new-movies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">best new movies on ZEE5</a> that brings the story of Uday Shetty (Rahul Bhat), who has changed his name to Kennedy after the brutal murder of his son. His young son died in a crossfire that is connected to police corruption. And guess what. Who is behind it? The powerful police commissioner. Along with his son, Uday was also presumed to be dead.</p>
<p>Uday survived the incident, disappeared and came back after some time as Kennedy, a ghost who kills people for money and was eagerly waiting for his real target. The best thing about the movie is that it moves between two timelines. Uday Shetty, a dedicated police officer, has been transformed into a contract killer, Kennedy now. He can’t sleep. In fact, insomnia keeps him up and forces him to relive the night his son died.</p>
<p>The entry of a mysterious woman changed Charlie’s life completely. She is the woman who listens to Kennedy and feels his pain without judging him. The silence and emotions in the movie speak loudly and make the audience feel the pain. The streets of Mumbai appear to be quite empty and haunting after lockdown, and that serves to be the perfect backdrop for a man who is alive but not living.</p>
<h2>Rahul Bhat Owns Every Frame in Kennedy on ZEE5</h2>
<p>Rahul Bhat has made a very strong entry as Kennedy in the movie. His performance makes the audience feel the pain of the man who has lost his son. Kennedy is a tired, broken and dangerous man in the movie.</p>
<p>Charlie (Sunny Leone) is the woman who becomes the real and only connection of Rahul Bhat. Her presence brings up strength and warmth to the story. The scenes of both together bring emotions to the story.</p>
<p>Chandan’s (Abhilash Thapliyal) performance in the movie is quite short and powerful. Mohit Takalkar and Megha Burman also spellbind the audience through their powerful performances.</p>
<h2>Anurag Kashyap and Team Build a Perfect Mood in the New Movie</h2>
<p>Anurag Kashyap masters in creating thriller movies. He has landed a story this time that connects with the audience till the end. He masters the genre and knows how to make silence feel loud. Cinematographer Sylvester Fonseca has perfectly captured the absolute essence of Mumbai in different scenes where every frame appears to be quite heavy.</p>
<p>Editors Tanya Chhabria and Deepak Kattar have also tried to keep the pace of the story quite slow and deliberate. The music by Aamir Aziz and Ashish Narula is quite minimal and haunting, and gives the touch of Uday’s insomnia perfectly. The lockdown situation in Mumbai has been captured perfectly. Empty streets, dim streetlights give the feel of realism and mirror the life of Kennedy perfectly.</p>
<h2>Why Does Kennedy on ZEE5 Feel Different From Other Thrillers?</h2>
<p>Where most of the thriller movies rush towards the big reveal, Kennedy on ZEE5 takes its time and offers a story that is unique and refreshing. It is a neo-noir style story that reminds the audience of the old classics. The makers of the movie have tried to give the absolute essence of the Indian soul, where we can see corruption protecting the powerful persons, the grief of a father who turns into a killer.</p>
<p>The violence in the movie appears to be quite brutal, but it is never glorified. The makers of the movie have designed the different scenes in such a way that it makes the audience feel Kennedy’s pain, grief and tragedy.</p>
<h2>The Thrill of a Broken Man’s Revenge</h2>
<p>The story of the Kennedy movie on ZEE5 revolves around the internal fight of Uday. The story of the movie beautifully presents how he becomes a ghost in his own life and presumed to be dead. The thriller moments of the movie are quite sharp and appear to be realistic. Charlie is also a powerful character in the movie who has landed up as a person who understands Uday and listens to him and feels his pain.</p>
<h2>Discover Kennedy Among New Movies on ZEE5</h2>
<p>Kennedy on ZEE5 is a perfect watch for everyone willing to enjoy an absolutely fresh take on thriller movies. It is a dark, slow and heavy movie that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats till the end. The performance of Rahul Bhat and the direction of Anurag Kashyap together spell magic on the audience. It is a perfect late-night watch to be enjoyed with your family and friends.</p>

        <title>Best Crypto to Buy Now for Long Term Gains in March 2026 Is DeepSnitch AI, Jumping 186% Ahead of Potential Moonshot Launch, as TAO and ONDO Rally</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-05-03-26-1-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Crypto"></p><p dir="ltr"><strong>New Delhi [India], March 05: </strong>In a recent study, 36 AI models were given full control over financial decisions, and none chose fiat currency. Almost half selected Bitcoin. The Bitcoin Policy Institute’s findings highlight the growing appeal of digital assets.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If you’re looking for the best crypto to buy now for the long term, this is the moment to look to AI, focused on digital assets. And <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-presale-indiana-retirement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> is a rare opportunity among them, as a crypto intelligence platform with AI agents that provide retail traders with high-level market insights. The presale has raised over $1.93M at $0.04313, up 186% from its starting price of $0.01510. With launch just days away, this is set to be the 1000x opportunity of 2026.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">AI models reject fiat as US crypto policy faces a reckoning</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The Bitcoin Policy Institute tested 36 advanced <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/nearly-half-ai-agents-chose-bitcoin-preferred-money-research" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AI models</a> in over 9,000 monetary scenarios. Bitcoin was chosen in more than 48% of cases, and over 90% of models preferred digital money to traditional currencies. For long-term value storage, Bitcoin led with over 79%, the strongest agreement in the study.</p>
<p dir="ltr">And despite growing interest in digital assets, the US government has not yet taken action. David Bailey, a former crypto advisor to Trump, said this week that words are not enough. One year after the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve executive order, the government has yet to buy Bitcoin on the open market. Bailey emphasized that proper progress requires political commitment, so statements won’t quite cut it.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As AI systems show a preference for decentralized money and institutions work to keep up, the best crypto to buy now for long-term returns are very likely to be those that connect AI technology with market access.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">High potential crypto coins leading the long-term charge</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. DeepSnitch AI</h3>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI has made DYOR into a simple pre-buy checklist anyone can use. The dashboard highlights spikes and alerts, and you can use tools like Token Explorer to check risk, holder concentration, and liquidity, or AuditSnitch to review contract addresses.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Whether you’re a risk-taker or a careful investor, this tool is useful for everyone, and widespread use can increase buying pressure, spiking its value in both the short and long term.</p>
<p dir="ltr">According to the latest development update, the production layer is active, intelligent caching is live, SnitchGPT (one of its agents) has been upgraded to a full cognitive engine, and the dashboard has been redesigned for a clean user experience.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It’s a fully operational intelligence network, with credibility and proven utility, and the interface is functional, user-friendly, and incredibly visually appealing:</p>
<p dir="ltr">This is the foundation of the 1000x potential, and DeepSnitch AI is set up for a moonshot in the near term, while also being probably the best crypto to buy now for long-term returns.  Expert on-chain analysts built this platform to fill a real gap, as retail traders have not had access to this level of intelligence in one dashboard before.</p>
<p dir="ltr">And with this utility and presale pricing combined, it has room to run on like a rare few tokens, if any others at all, in 2026.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Staking is now live, with no cap, and the APR increases as more people join. And right now, ahead of launch, there are also bonus codes available before launch, making this an especially good time to increase your position.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As both the best crypto to buy now for the long term and a potential moonshot after a launch just days away, DeepSnitch AI has incredible growth in the cards.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://youtu.be/E6RsfRzyfZU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/E6RsfRzyfZU</a></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. Bittensor</h3>
<p dir="ltr">There’s a confident energy building around TAO, and it’s not hard to see why. At around $190, the decentralised AI infrastructure token is holding above its 7-day moving average with an RSI sitting in neutral territory.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Grayscale’s S-1 filing for a Bittensor Trust has opened a regulated institutional on-ramp that didn’t exist six months ago, and from here, it could stretch toward above $430, with an upper ceiling near $520 if momentum holds.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A strong opportunity among breakout cryptocurrencies, TAO already commands a multi-billion-dollar market cap, which naturally caps the multiplier.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">3. Ondo Finance</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Ondo’s above 8% single-day bounce to around $0.27 captured exactly how fast sentiment can rotate when the broader market catches a bid. This is one of the purest bets on real-world asset tokenisation, the same narrative that BlackRock, Apollo, and JPMorgan are actively pursuing with billions on the line.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The near-term picture looks cautiously bullish, with Ondo holding above $0.25 support opens the door to a retest of the $0.28-$0.30 resistance zone.</p>
<p dir="ltr">ONDO tracks macro risk appetite, and when institutions rotate back in, RWA tokens have historically caught the flow early on. As far as low-cap crypto gems go, though, the upside here is set to be in percentages, not more than that.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Last look</h2>
<p dir="ltr">With AI models choosing digital assets over fiat by a 9-to-1 margin, it’s clear that TAO will likely benefit from institutional support, and ONDO is part of the tokenization movement, both offering steady gains.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But if you want the kind of high returns that come from investing early in a working project, DeepSnitch AI’s presale at $0.04313 is a unique opportunity. The launch is just days away, VIP bonus codes are available to stack more tokens with an initial purchase, and the platform is already delivering results that many projects only promise. This is the best crypto to buy now for long term and short-term gains alike, with an entirely plausible moonshot firmly in its sights.</p>
<p dir="ltr">To get involved, head to the official DeepSnitch AI <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-presale-indiana-retirement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">presale</a>, and follow the team on <a href="https://x.com/deepsnitchai">X</a> and <a href="https://t.me/deepsnitchai">Telegram</a> for important, real-time updates ahead of launch.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">What is the best crypto to buy now for the long term with working products?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI is an incredible and rare opportunity, with AI agents already operational during presale, utility proven, and a 1000x run in its sights. It’s probably the best crypto to buy now for long-term gains, but it’s also anticipating a moonshot launch in only a few days.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Why are high-potential crypto coins in presale attractive for long-term gains?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">With a live AI intelligence platform and VIP bonus codes boosting allocations, DeepSnitch AI’s positioning among high-potential crypto coins is hard to match, and it’s likely the best crypto to buy now for long-term and short-term returns.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">How do breakout cryptocurrencies differ from established tokens like TAO?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Established tokens stand to offer stability, but they also tend to be limited multipliers. Breakout cryptocurrencies like DeepSnitch AI combine live technology with early-stage pricing, and its five AI agents and expert build give it the foundation for truly explosive post-launch gains.</p>

        <title>Next Crypto To Explode This Month: DeepSnitch AI Raises $1.93M As Retail Apes It for the Central Intelligence Layer and 300x Potential, SOL and LINK Enter Recovery</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-05-03-26-2.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Crypto"></p><p dir="ltr"><span><strong>New Delhi [India], March 05:</strong> </span>Western Union has partnered with Crossmint for the launch of its new USDPT stablecoin on Solana. By combining Crossmint’s payment API and wallet and using Western Union’s existing infrastructure, fintech platforms will have access to the global payout network while also having the ability to move money through stablecoins.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Meanwhile, the crypto market is finally in the green, meaning that the question of which is the next crypto to explode this month is once again a hot topic.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Along with major coins, <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=next-crypto-to-explode-this-month-deepsnitch-ai-raises-%241.93M-as-retail-apes-it-for-central-intelligence-layer-and-300x-potential-sol-and-link-enter-recovery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> is often highlighted as an option despite its presale status, as many traders expect the DSNT token to go at least 100x after launch.</p>
<p dir="ltr">So far, the AI project that focuses on crypto market analytics and AI agent tech has raised $1.93 and has even recently announced that the core intelligence layer is operational.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Western Union gears up for a stablecoin launch</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Western Union has tapped Crossmint to <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/crossmint-partners-with-western-union-to-support-usdpt-stablecoin-and-digital-asset-network-on-solana-302703449.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">support the launch</a> of its USDPT stablecoin on the Solana network. The partnership will integrate Crossmint’s wallet and payment APIs, while Western Union will handle the infrastructure.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The move will allow fintech platforms to move funds via stablecoin while also accessing Western Union’s global payout network.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The new Digital Asset Network connects stablecoins to Western Union’s existing infrastructure, which allows users to convert digital dollars into local currency across more than 360K cash pickup locations in 200+ countries.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In addition, Crossmint will provide developers with API access to USDPT through existing integrations.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With crypto making new strides and the wider market posting a slight recovery, many traders are wondering what the next crypto to explode this month is if the current trajectory continues.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Breakout altcoin setups in March</h2>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI: Early development milestones led to DSNT being highlighted as a potential 100x crypto</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">The presale wave is getting bigger and bigger, and it seems that DeepSnitch AI has captured the buzz. Naturally, the numbers back it up. The project raised $1.93, and the community is confident that DeepSnitch AI could be the next crypto to explode this month.</p>
<p dir="ltr">So, what’s behind the 100x community predictions?</p>
<p dir="ltr">In short, the investor activity notably accelerated after the team dropped a preview of the main dashboard –  a clear indication that the wider market is on board with the core offering.</p>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI brings five AI agents together under one roof. Part of a central intelligence layer, these agents provide a series of next-gen analytics services. Efficiency is key here as the platform ensures everything you need for effective trades is easily accessible: from a token explorer to the LLM-powered audit tool that you can use for risk assessments and DYOR.</p>
<p dir="ltr">However, you can also “predict” market movements before anyone else with the real-time sentiment tracker that uses AI to aggregate endless social media noise to spot both sentiment shifts and FUD.</p>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI is one of the top emerging crypto projects of the season. More importantly, it’s a narrative you can enter without putting a dent in your wallet as the DSNT token is priced at just $0.04313.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://youtu.be/4v93DMP95sU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/4v93DMP95sU</a></p>
<ol start="2">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">Solana: Will the SOL rally continue?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">According to CoinMarketCap, SOL reached $90 on March 4.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As the move represents a 5% 24-hour increase, traders are wondering if Solana will be the next crypto to explode this month. Considering that the RSI is above its midpoint, the selling pressure is going down, meaning that closing above $95 will inspire even more strength.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The higher target is set at $117, which represents a substantial upside considering the recent chop.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If the recovery stalls at $95, then SOL will simply remain inside its current channel, where the $95 will remain a heavy resistance level.</p>
<ol start="3">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">Chainlink: Is LINK going higher?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Chainlink gained nearly 7% on March 4, pushing the price to $9.30, according to CoinMarketCap.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Because LINK remained strong even during times of high volatility, it’s a solid contender for the next crypto to explode this month if the current momentum sticks. Fortunately, the RSI is going toward neutral, indicating that the selling pressure is easing.</p>
<p>Thus, $10.1 is the next viable target, followed by a test of the $10.9 breakdown level. Successfully closing will allow the price to climb to $11.6.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If LINK falters and dips lower than $8, the $7.1 is the next destination.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Final thoughts: Don’t stay on the sidelines</h2>
<p dir="ltr">As bears take a break, the question of the next crypto to explode this month hangs in the air. The smartest move (especially considering the fact that volatility could come back in a flash), a smarter move is rotating into early-stage projects before the market catches up.</p>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI, for instance, presents a strong narrative as a volatility hedge, but it’s also building a usable set of AI tools that will basically help you survive the bear market.</p>
<p dir="ltr">While the current entry is still a seal, you can extract the maximum value by applying the DSNTVIP50 if you go for $5K or more to get 50% extra tokens. If you have whaleish aspirations, then the DSNTVIP300 scales quite well by unlocking 300% on allocation $30K and up.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs:</h2>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">What positions DeepSnitch AI as the next crypto to explode this month?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">While the listing date is unknown, it’s expected that DeepSnitch AI presale will speed up significantly as the announcements of a central intelligence going live are bullish for the project, inspiring multiple 100x and 300x predictions from the community.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><strong>Gurugram (Haryana) [India], March 05:</strong>  Air pollution is no longer a distant environmental issue. It affects daily life – on roads, in neighbourhoods, and even inside classrooms. At Manav Rachna International School (MRIS) IB, Sector 46 Gurugram, a student’s curiosity has transformed this global concern into a meaningful innovation.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Sabir Singh, a Middle Years Programme (MYP 1) student, has developed a functional air quality monitoring device as part of a design thinking project. His innovation measures air quality in real time and communicates results through a simple, intuitive visual alert system, making complex environmental data instantly understandable.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A Young Mind, A Real-World Question</p>
<p dir="ltr">The project began with a powerful question:</p>
<p dir="ltr">How can we know the quality of the air we are breathing at any given moment?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Rather than limiting his learning to textbooks, Sabir chose to address a real-world challenge. Guided by the inquiry-driven framework of the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), he engaged in observation, research, experimentation, and critical problem-solving to develop his solution.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Such experiential learning is a hallmark of leading <a href="https://mris.edu.in/ib-school-sector-46-gurugram/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IB board schools in Gurugram</a>, where students are encouraged to think independently and act responsibly.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Turning Data into Understanding</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">Sabir’s air quality device uses a colour-coded indicator system:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Green Light – Good air quality</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Blue Light – Moderate air quality</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Red Light – Presence of harmful pollutants</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">The strength of the project lies in its simplicity. Air quality metrics, often technical and abstract, are transformed into immediate visual signals that anyone – student or adult – can easily interpret.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The device not only demonstrates technical understanding but also reflects thoughtful, user-centric design – a key component of inquiry-based education.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Design Thinking in Action</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">The project is a strong example of design thinking embedded within the IB curriculum at MRIS Sector 46. Sabir followed a structured and reflective process:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Identifying a real-world environmental problem</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Researching factors affecting air quality</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Designing and building a functional prototype</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Testing and refining the solution based on outcomes</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">Such learning approaches distinguish progressive educational institutions from traditional rote-learning environments. Students move beyond memorisation toward deeper conceptual understanding. They apply interdisciplinary knowledge, analyse real-world contexts, and reflect on the broader impact of their ideas.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Speaking about the achievement, Ms Sangeeta Kapoor, Principal of MRIS IB Sector 46, Gurugram, shared:</p>
<p dir="ltr">“At MRIS, we believe education must empower students to think critically and act meaningfully. Sabir’s project reflects the true spirit of the IB philosophy – inquiry, innovation, and responsible action. Our aim is not only academic excellence but nurturing globally minded learners who can address real-world challenges with confidence and empathy.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">This vision reinforces why MRIS is recognised among the most progressive IB board schools in Gurugram, committed to developing future-ready leaders.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Strengthening Education Across Gurugram</strong></p>

<p>The professional background of  Dr. Partha Banerjee was established in the challenging corporate settings, especially when he worked as an NRI professional in Dubai. His experience in high-performance, accountability-based systems provided him with a first-hand experience of the global work culture, leadership dynamics, and organizational psychology. These were the years that helped him to form his vision of ambition, ethics, human pressure, and decision-making in contemporary professional life.</p>
<p>Instead of considering corporate experience as independent of creativity, Dr. Banerjee internalized these realities. The workplace was a living classroom, a classroom that silently taught him about his worldview and would later become writing that was insight-driven and based on lived experience as opposed to theory.</p>
<h2><strong>The Shift from Achievement to Reflection</strong></h2>
<p>A more profound internal change came with professional stability becoming a reality. Purpose, contribution, and long-term impact questions started to dominate traditional definitions of success. Dr. Banerjee understood that real success could not be quantified in terms of titles or geography, but in terms of clarity of thought and significant interaction with society.</p>
<p>Writing came naturally at this stage, not as a vocation but as a way of converting experience into wisdom and wisdom into advice. His writing is not trendy or superficial in its motivation, but rather encourages the reader to take his time, think, and be more conscious of life and leadership.</p>
<h2><strong>A Global Perspective: From Dubai to Iceland to Mauritius</strong></h2>
<p>Although it is commonly linked to the intellectual ecosystem of Mumbai, Dr. Banerjee still remains an NRI professional with a very global presence. His travels have also been reflective like his visit to Iceland, which also broadened his view on sustainability, balance, and human resilience.</p>
<p>He is currently in Mauritius where he is planning to open a landmark project, the first multi-dimensional pharmaceutical manufacturing plant in the country. This is a grandiose project that is a combination of science, engineering, ethics and long-term development of the region.</p>
<h2><strong>Gems Biogenics International Ltd: Consultancy and Innovation in Action</strong></h2>
<p>This is the new stage of professional interaction that is being propelled by Gems Biogenics International Ltd, a multinational company, with the help of which Dr. Banerjee has ventured into strategic consultancy. The company specializes in pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and engineering industries, and it has expertise that combines operational knowledge and leadership.</p>
<p>In addition to manufacturing, Gems Biogenics International Ltd is a platform of advisory services, which assists organizations to overcome complexity, compliance, scalability, and sustainable growth. The company launch video demonstrates a vision that is modern and technology-driven, created using high-tech tools and keeping a humanistic approach.</p>
<h2><strong>Books Rooted in Experience, Leadership, and Thought</strong></h2>
<p>The literary work by Dr. Partha Banerjee  remains unique in its depth and sincerity. His books are about leadership, identity, personal development, geopolitics, and human behavior, always based on real-world observation and not formula-based advice.</p>
<p>Harvest Harmony, Face Gain or Face Loss, The Perfect Journey, India: A New Yet Strong Voice in World Geopolitics, and Covid-19 are notable works. Both are an expression of a stratified perception of society, strength, and mission.</p>
<p>Simultaneously, his Bengali and English poetry, in books like Halud Basanto, Jemoni Thakina Keno, Prithibir Shashok, Khokoner Chitir Patai and Nostalgia, embodies memory, emotion, and the silent intricacies of human existence.</p>
<h2><strong>Recognition Beyond Writing</strong></h2>
<p>The work of Dr. Banerjee has appealed to a large audience, with some of the titles becoming bestsellers. His writing is frequently characterized by readers as serene, heartfelt, and highly relatable, not abstractionist and based on lived reality. In addition to writing, he is an active participant in discussions, forums, and advisory engagements, where his views on leadership, ethics, and self-awareness still have an impact on professionals in various fields.</p>
<h2><strong>A Journey of Integration, Not Transition</strong></h2>
<p>The essence of the story of Dr. Partha Banerjee is not a change of profession, but integration. In his path, there is a perfect harmony between corporate discipline, creative expression, and strategic consultancy. In Dubai and Mauritius, in boardrooms and bookshelves, his life shows how experience, when turned into thoughtful expression and purposeful action, can educate industries, define conversations, and inspire reinvention.</p>
<p>His experience is a reminder that professional development does not mean giving up, but rather getting in line.</p>

        <title>Full Mouth Rehabilitation: Restoring Function and Confidence with Advanced Smile Design</title>

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/full-mouth-rehabilitation-restoring-function-and-confidence-with-advanced-smile-design</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-1-7.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Full Mouth Rehabilitation: Restoring Function and Confidence with Advanced Smile Design-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], March 05: </strong>Dr. Jaydev, a renowned smile design specialist in Hyderabad, is highly regarded for his expertise in microscopic endodontics and smile design. With over 15 years of experience in transforming smiles and restoring functionality, Dr. Jaydev is recognized for his patient-centric approach and innovative treatments that improve both the aesthetics and health of his patients’ teeth. Dr. Jaydev’s clinic is a trusted destination for individuals seeking advanced dental care and comprehensive smile makeovers.</p>
<p>At <a href="https://drjaydevdental.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Dr. Jaydev Dental</a> Clinic in Hyderabad, patients like Mr. Rajesh Verma are provided with a comprehensive approach to smile design that focuses on both enhancing aesthetics and restoring functionality. Mr. Verma, a 62-year-old retired banker, sought treatment for issues resulting from years of untreated dental wear. He had been suffering from shortened teeth, chewing difficulties, increased sensitivity, and a visibly aged appearance. Mr. Verma was self-conscious about his smile, which had caused him to withdraw from social situations. Seeking a solution, he approached Dr. Jaydev with the hope of restoring both the function and aesthetics of his smile.</p>
<p>After a thorough clinical examination, Dr. Jaydev diagnosed Mr. Verma with severe generalized tooth attrition, a collapsed vertical dimension, and loss of posterior occlusal support. These issues, likely caused by bruxism and enamel erosion, had impaired his ability to chew and had negatively impacted his facial appearance. The comprehensive treatment plan focused on restoring both the function and youthful appearance of his smile.</p>
<p>Dr. Jaydev utilized Digital Smile Design (DSD) to simulate the proposed transformation, allowing Mr. Verma to visualize his new smile before proceeding with the treatment. This technology helped ensure that Mr. Verma’s expectations were aligned with the end result, providing him with confidence throughout the process.</p>
<p>The treatment included monolithic zirconia crowns and bridges for posterior rehabilitation, offering strength and durability for functional support. For the anterior teeth, Emax veneers were used to restore tooth length, alignment, and shade, giving Mr. Verma a natural, youthful smile. Root canal therapy was also performed on a few pulpal-involved teeth using microscopic endodontics, which allowed for precision and minimized discomfort.</p>
<p>The full mouth rehabilitation process began with occlusal reprogramming to restore the vertical dimension of Mr. Verma’s bite, followed by a full-mouth diagnostic wax-up and mock-ups to ensure proper function and aesthetics. Once the restorations were placed, occlusal adjustments were made to achieve a balanced bite, followed by final polishing and aesthetic refinements.</p>
<p>Post-treatment guidelines were provided, including proper oral hygiene practices, the use of a nightguard to prevent further tooth wear, and dietary advice to protect the restorations during the adaptation phase. Mr. Verma was also scheduled for follow-up visits to ensure the integrity of the restorations and monitor his oral health.</p>
<p>The outcome was remarkable—Mr. Verma’s bite was stable, and his ability to chew improved dramatically. More importantly, he regained his confidence and could smile freely in public without feeling self-conscious. As Dr. Jaydev explains, “Full mouth rehabilitation is not just about restoring teeth; it’s about restoring lives. It’s about giving patients the ability to smile, eat, and live with confidence again.”</p>
<p>With proper care and maintenance, the restorations are expected to last for more than 15 years. Dr. Jaydev provides a 10-year assurance on all treatments, coupled with biannual reviews to ensure ongoing success. Mr. Verma shared his thoughts on the experience, saying, “I was embarrassed by my worn teeth and aged look. Dr. Jaydev didn’t just fix my teeth—he gave me back my confidence. I can speak, eat, and smile freely now. This has truly been a life-changing experience.”</p>
<p>For those seeking a Dental Clinic in Hyderabad that offers comprehensive dental care, advanced technologies, and a personalized approach, Dr. Jaydev Dental Clinic is the trusted destination for all dental needs. With over 15 years of experience in smile designing, Dr. Jaydev continues to help patients restore their smiles and confidence, one treatment at a time.</p>

<p>The marathon became a space where purpose met perseverance. CHF runners, volunteers, and supporters took to the track to highlight the persistent challenges girls face, gender inequality, limited access to education, and safety concerns, and to advocate for a future where every girl can grow with dignity, opportunity, and confidence. Every step symbolised solidarity with millions of girls whose rights and voices are still overlooked.</p>
<p>Child Help Foundation actively supports the Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao mission through sustained community engagement. One such initiative is the <strong>Invisible Girl Project (IGP)</strong>, implemented in <strong>Maharashtra and Haryana</strong>, which focuses on spreading awareness and sensitizing communities about the deep-rooted issues faced by women and girls. Through workshops, discussions, and outreach programmes, IGP challenges social norms, addresses discrimination, and encourages families and communities to recognize and uphold girls’ value.</p>
<p>Over the years, Child Help Foundation has supported the education of <strong>more than 5,17,336 children across India</strong>, enabling them to stay in school, access learning resources, and move closer to a life of dignity and independence. This impact reflects the power of consistent effort and community-driven change, while also reminding us that many girls still await equal opportunities.</p>
<p><strong>Speaking on the occasion, Mr Jiji John, Executive Director, Child Help Foundation, said,</strong> <em>“Child Help Foundation always stand for equal rights and opportunity for the girls and by running the Tata Mumbai Marathon in support of Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao, we aim to reinforce the belief that empowering girls is a shared responsibility. Through initiatives like the Invisible Girl Project, we work directly with communities to address the challenges girls face and to create safer, more equitable spaces for them to thrive and will keep on working hard for the upliftment of the girl child.”</em></p>
<p>The event saw enthusiastic participation from CHF volunteers and runners who dedicated their runs to advancing the cause of girls. Supporters and well-wishers stood by the foundation, underscoring that meaningful change is possible when communities unite with purpose.</p>
<p>Child Help Foundation strengthened public awareness around girls’ education, safety, and equality, while reaffirming its commitment to supporting national efforts through grassroots action by participating in TMM 06. The marathon served as a reminder that movements grow stronger when people choose to act, step by step.</p>
<p>Child Help Foundation extends heartfelt gratitude to all runners, volunteers, supporters, and the Tata Mumbai Marathon platform for helping carry this message forward. The foundation remains dedicated to ensuring that every girl is seen, heard, educated, and empowered.</p>

        <title>Zindagi ke Rang, Kissht ke Sang: How Culture and Community Come Together at Kissht</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/zindagi-ke-rang-kissht-ke-sang-how-culture-and-community-come-together-at-kissht</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/zindagi-ke-rang-kissht-ke-sang-how-culture-and-community-come-together-at-kissht</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-05T134625.196.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Kissht ke Sang-PNN"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], March 05</strong>: At Kissht, culture is not a poster on a wall or a slide in a town hall deck. It shows up in the way teams collaborate, the way leaders participate, and the way celebrations are designed to include more than just the people inside the office. This Holi, that culture came alive through a company-wide initiative titled Zindagi ke Rang, Kissht ke Sang.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.kissht.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kissht</a> office was filled with colour in the days leading up to Holi. Teams across functions stepped away from dashboards and deadlines to celebrate together, sharing festive treats, music, laughter, and plenty of gulaal. It was the kind of energy that reflects the company’s youthful spirit and growth mindset.</p>
<p>What makes Kissht different is that the celebration did not stop at the office doors.</p>
<p>As part of the Holi initiative, employees visited the Child Vision Foundation to spend time with the children and contribute in meaningful ways. The team carried books, stationery, and snacks, along with encouragement and conversation. The visit was not treated as a ceremonial gesture. Employees engaged sincerely, interacting with the children and understanding their journeys. It was a reminder that festivals are ultimately about connection and inclusion.</p>
<p>Back at the office, a clothes donation drive was organised in partnership with Bombay Recycling Concern. Employees across departments participated enthusiastically, donating generously and encouraging others to contribute. What began as a simple internal drive quickly became a strong expression of collective responsibility.</p>
<p>The initiative reflected a belief that is often reinforced by the Kissht founders, that growth and gratitude must move together. From the early days of building the digital lending platform, the Kissht founders have emphasised ownership, speed, and empathy, not only towards customers but towards communities as well.</p>
<p>Much of Kissht’s workplace culture can be traced back to the philosophy of the Kissht founders. The Kissht founders have consistently advocated for a culture where impact extends beyond business metrics. Employees often speak about accessible leadership and the clarity of values. Whether it is open forums, cross-functional collaboration, or initiatives like this Holi campaign, the tone is set by the Kissht founders.</p>
<p>In internal conversations, the Kissht founders frequently underline that fintech is fundamentally about enabling aspiration. That philosophy informs how the organisation approaches community engagement. The same mindset that drives product innovation and customer experience also shapes social initiatives.</p>
<p>Kissht operates in a high performance, high growth sector. Targets are ambitious and the pace is demanding. Yet there is a conscious effort to create moments of perspective. Celebrations at Kissht are not simply calendar events. They are opportunities to reinforce shared values and strengthen bonds across teams.</p>
<p>The Kissht founders have long maintained that culture cannot be delegated. It must be demonstrated. Initiatives like Zindagi ke Rang, Kissht ke Sang show how that belief translates into action. Employees across technology, marketing, operations, collections, and product came together organically for the campaign. The participation reflected an environment where people feel invested beyond their immediate responsibilities.</p>
<p>As Kissht continues to scale, the Kissht founders remain focused on building a brand that balances ambition with responsibility. In a sector often defined by numbers, Kissht aims to build trust and empathy alongside growth. Community initiatives like the Holi NGO visit and the clothes drive with Bombay Recycling Concern are not treated as checkboxes. They are extensions of a broader philosophy shaped by the Kissht founders.</p>
<p>The Kissht founders often highlight that sustainable growth requires social alignment. In their view, financial inclusion is not only about access to credit. It is about enabling dignity and opportunity. That perspective naturally extends to how the organisation interacts with the wider community.</p>
<p>When employees returned from the NGO visit, many spoke about renewed perspective and a deeper sense of pride. The experience reinforced the idea that collective action can create meaningful change. It also reflected the kind of organisation the Kissht founders set out to build, one where ambition and empathy coexist.</p>
<p>As Kissht grows in scale and impact, initiatives like these ensure that culture evolves with intention. The Kissht founders have said that a company’s true character is revealed in the way it shares its success. This Holi, that character was visible in the office celebrations, in the community engagement, and in the collective effort to ensure that doing well and doing good move forward together.</p>

        <title>Why Younger Indians Are Increasingly at Risk of Stroke? – Dr. Guruprasad Hosurkar</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-05T103228.030.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Stroke-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], March 05:</strong> Stroke, once thought to primarily affect older individuals, is increasingly becoming a significant health concern among younger Indians. <a href="https://drguruprasadhneuropdspecialist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Guruprasad Hosurkar</a>, a leading neurologist at KIMS Hospital, Mahadevapura, has seen a rising trend in stroke cases among patients under 40. This shift is concerning as stroke in younger adults can lead to severe, long-term health challenges and, in many cases, even death. As a senior neurologist with over 20 years of expertise, Dr. Hosurkar is dedicated to understanding the growing risk factors and advocating for preventive care and early intervention.</p>
<p>Dr. Hosurkar’s experience and deep understanding of neurological disorders make him one of the most trusted neurologists in Bangalore. His clinical expertise, particularly in the areas of stroke prevention and rehabilitation, is crucial in managing these increasing cases of stroke in younger populations. The rise in stroke cases can be attributed to various factors, including lifestyle changes, poor dietary habits, sedentary behavior, and increasing levels of stress. Additionally, conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol, —which were once considered risks for older adults—are now becoming common in younger individuals, significantly increasing their susceptibility to stroke.</p>
<p>“Younger people are experiencing strokes due to a combination of modern lifestyle factors and genetic predispositions,” explains Dr. Hosurkar. “Sedentary habits, high levels of stress, poor nutrition, and increasing cases of chronic disease, metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemia, obesity, obstructive sleep apnea are contributing to the higher risk of stroke in individuals who otherwise would have been considered healthy. It is essential that people, especially those under 40, become more aware of these risks and take steps toward healthier lifestyles.”</p>
<p>Stroke risk is not confined to older generations anymore, and the warning signs of stroke can appear in younger individuals just as quickly. Recognizing the symptoms—such as sudden numbness or weakness on one side of the body, trouble speaking, and severe headaches—is critical for early intervention. Dr. Hosurkar emphasizes that the earlier a stroke is detected, the better the chances are for a full recovery. Immediate medical attention can significantly reduce the risk of severe disability and long-term health complications.</p>
<p>One of the key steps in stroke prevention is controlling risk factors such as blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and cholesterol. Dr. Hosurkar advocates for regular check-ups, especially for those with a family history of stroke or those exhibiting risk factors like smoking, high alcohol consumption, and a lack of physical activity. “We must prioritize education and awareness for younger generations,” says Dr. Hosurkar. “Young people need to take charge of their health early on to prevent conditions that could lead to stroke later in life.”</p>
<p>Dr. Hosurkar’s expertise extends beyond stroke prevention. He offers comprehensive treatment plans for patients who have suffered strokes, focusing on immediate care and long-term rehabilitation. His approach involves a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals to provide stroke survivors with the best possible care. This includes neurocritical care, rehabilitation, and post-stroke care, ensuring that patients regain their independence and quality of life.</p>
<p>At KIMS Hospital, where Dr. Hosurkar serves as the Clinical Lead of Neurology, patients have access to state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and advanced treatment options for managing stroke and other neurological conditions. The hospital’s neurocritical care unit is equipped with the latest technologies to handle acute stroke cases, ensuring rapid intervention and the best outcomes for patients.</p>
<p>Dr. Hosurkar’s commitment to stroke prevention and rehabilitation has earned him numerous accolades and recognition in the medical community. He is regularly invited to speak at national and international conferences, sharing his insights on stroke management and neurological care. He also actively participates in clinical research, contributing to the development of new therapies and techniques for stroke treatment.</p>
<p>For Dr. Hosurkar, the key to combating the rise of strokes among younger Indians is education, early detection, and lifestyle modification. By focusing on preventive measures, he believes that the increasing stroke risk can be mitigated and that more young people can live healthy, stroke-free lives.</p>
<p>Incorporating a balanced diet, staying physically active, managing stress, and undergoing regular health screenings are essential steps in reducing the risk of stroke. Dr. Hosurkar encourages everyone, especially those under 40, to prioritize their health and take proactive steps to prevent stroke and other neurological conditions. “Prevention is always better than cure, and a small change in lifestyle can have a big impact on stroke prevention,” he says.</p>

Dr. Anju Methil has made groundbreaking strides in offering advanced acne treatment solutions that not only target the root causes of acne but also restore healthy, glowing skin. With her expertise at Skin and Shape Clinic, Dr. Methil is providing customized treatments that deliver noticeable, long-lasting results, helping patients regain confidence in their skin.</p>
<p>Acne is a complex condition influenced by hormonal imbalances, lifestyle factors, and genetics, and its treatment demands a tailored approach. As a<a href="https://skinandshape.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a><a href="https://skinandshape.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dermatologist in Mumbai</a>, Dr. Methil’s Skin and Shape Clinic offers a holistic, multidimensional approach to acne treatment, which incorporates the latest in dermatological advancements. From medical facials and chemical peels to laser therapies and microneedling, Dr. Methil ensures that each treatment is personalized to address the unique needs of each patient, giving them clear, healthy skin that radiates.</p>
<p>Dr. Methil combines her in-depth knowledge of dermatology with advanced techniques she learned from some of the best professionals across the world. Her expertise in acne scar removal, pigmentation treatment, and skin rejuvenation makes her one of the most sought-after experts in the field. “Effective acne treatment isn’t about quick fixes, it’s about understanding the skin and providing long-term care. Acne treatment should help restore both the skin’s health and the person’s confidence,” Dr. Methil states.</p>
<p>At Skin and Shape Clinic, Dr. Methil’s approach is comprehensive and results-driven. The clinic offers a range of advanced acne treatments that target active acne, as well as the scarring it often leaves behind. Among the clinic’s signature services are Q-switch laser treatments and microneedling that help regenerate skin tissue and reduce acne scars, as well as LED light therapy, which is known for its anti-inflammatory and healing properties.</p>
<p>One of Dr. Methil’s signature treatments is the HydraFacial, a popular, non-invasive procedure that deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin. The treatment is designed to clear pores, reduce acne breakouts, and improve overall skin tone and texture. “Each treatment plan is designed after a detailed consultation to understand the patient’s unique skin type, concerns, and medical history,” explains Dr. Methil. “Acne isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither should its treatment be.”</p>
<p>Skin care at Skin and Shape Clinic goes beyond just acne treatment. Dr. Methil often integrates anti-aging treatments such as skin tightening, laser resurfacing, and botox to help rejuvenate the skin, giving clients a youthful glow after acne treatment. By treating the skin’s surface and deeper layers, Dr. Methil provides a holistic solution that ensures both clear skin and restored radiance.</p>
<p>A notable example of her successful approach is a recent case where a 25-year-old woman with severe acne scars sought help at Skin and Shape Clinic. After undergoing a combination of microneedling and laser treatments, she experienced a significant reduction in scars and a smoother skin texture, bringing back her self-esteem and confidence. “Her transformation wasn’t just physical, it was emotional too. She felt like herself again,” recalls Dr. Methil.</p>
<p>Dr. Methil’s commitment to excellence in acne treatment has garnered her recognition in the dermatology community. Her patients speak highly of her compassionate approach, as well as the advanced results they see from her treatments. Features in popular publications like Femina and Vogue attest to her reputation as one of the top dermatologists in Mumbai. Additionally, Dr. Methil has been honored with multiple awards, including the Aesthetic Medicine Top 50 Dermatologist in 2020, further cementing her credibility as a leader in the field.</p>
<p>Dr. Methil’s dedication extends beyond patient treatment—she actively educates others by conducting training for fellow dermatologists and surgeons. As an AMI trainer for Nykaa and Bioderma, Dr. Methil ensures that the next generation of professionals is equipped with the knowledge and skills required to offer world-class treatments.</p>

        <title>Dr. Gordhan Lal Sharma’s Spiritual Sojourn to Gulaleshwar Mahadev Illuminates the Eternal Sprint of Brij ki Holi 26</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/dr-gordhan-lal-sharmas-spiritual-sojourn-to-gulaleshwar-mahadev-illuminates-the-eternal-sprint-of-brij-ki-holi-26</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/dr-gordhan-lal-sharmas-spiritual-sojourn-to-gulaleshwar-mahadev-illuminates-the-eternal-sprint-of-brij-ki-holi-26</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><strong>Mathura, Brij Bhoomi- 2026—</strong> Photo journalist Anshul Sharma -Amid the mystical fragrance of spring and the dazzling clouds of Holi colors rising from the sacred soil of Brij, Dr. Gordhan Lal Sharma, senior Rajasthan Administrative Service officer, author, and spiritual thinker, recently embarked on a devotional visit to the revered Gulaleshwar Mahadev Temple, accompanied by his wife. The spiritual journey unfolded as a vibrant blend of faith, heritage, and philosophical reflection.</p>
<p>Located in the sacred geography of Mathura’s Brij region, the ancient Gulaleshwar Mahadev Temple holds a unique aura among devotees. Its name is derived from gulal—the vibrant festival colors of Holi—offered symbolically to Lord Shiva in celebration of divine bliss and cosmic harmony. During the Holi festival, the temple courtyard and the adjoining holy water pond shimmer under showers of crimson, pink, and saffron gulal, turning the shrine into a radiant spectacle of devotion.</p>
<h2>A Temple Rooted in the Eternal Spirit of Brij</h2>
<p>The legend of Gulaleshwar Mahadev is deeply intertwined with the mystical Brij Ras—the spiritual essence of the land sanctified by the divine pastimes of Lord Krishna. According to sacred belief, Lord Shiva himself arrived in Brij to witness the celestial Ras Leela of Lord Krishna and chose to remain here as Gulaleshwar Mahadev, eternally guarding the sacred joy and devotion of this divine land.<br>For centuries, this temple has symbolized the harmonious union of Shaivite devotion and the playful celebration of Holi that defines the culture of Brij.</p>
<h2>A Devotional Journey Through the Sacred Shrines of Brij</h2>
<p>During the visit, Dr. Sharma and his wife immersed themselves in the spiritual rhythm of Brij, offering prayers at the temple and participating in the traditional Holi rituals.</p>
<p>The journey extended to several temples across Mathura and the wider Brij region, where Dr. Sharma’s devotional singing (bhajan) resonated through the sacred halls. His melodious hymns, inspired by the timeless literature of Brij devotion, filled the temple atmosphere with serenity and spiritual depth.</p>
<p>Young devotees and pilgrims gathered around, captivated by the soulful music and philosophical reflections woven into the devotional performance. Many described the moment as a profound reminder of the spiritual richness embedded in Sanatan Dharma.<br>Inspiring Youth: Ancient Wisdom Meets Artificial Intelligence</p>
<p>In an engaging interaction with young visitors, Dr. Sharma reflected on how the spiritual wisdom of ancient India continues to illuminate modern thought.</p>
<p>He suggested that Artificial Intelligence (AI)—often regarded as the pinnacle of modern technological evolution—can philosophically be viewed as a distant reflection of the ancient Indian pursuit of consciousness and knowledge.</p>
<p>“While modern AI represents humanity’s attempt to replicate intelligence through machines,” he explained, “the ancient sages of India explored intelligence through awareness, ethics, and cosmic harmony.”</p>
<p>His reflections encouraged young minds to see technology not merely as mechanical progress but as an extension of humanity’s timeless search for wisdom.</p>
<h2><br>Where Tradition Meets Tomorrow</h2>
<p>As the temple bells of Gulaleshwar Mahadev echoed across the sacred ponds of Brij and the colors of Holi danced in the air, this spiritual tour became a symbol of harmony between heritage and modernity.</p>
<p>In the enchanting land of Brij Ras, where every lane whispers stories of divine love and devotion, the pilgrimage of Dr. Gordhan Lal Sharma stood as a reminder that India’s spiritual traditions continue to inspire not only faith but also philosophy, creativity, and the aspirations of a new generation.</p> ]]></description>

        <title>From Mumbai to Kigali: Indian Surgeon Introduces Rwanda its very First Laser Treatment for Varicose Veins, Haemorrhoids &amp;amp; Anorectal Disorders</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/from-mumbai-to-kigali-indian-surgeon-introduces-rwanda-its-very-first-laser-treatment-for-varicose-veins-haemorrhoids-anorectal-disorders-16251</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/from-mumbai-to-kigali-indian-surgeon-introduces-rwanda-its-very-first-laser-treatment-for-varicose-veins-haemorrhoids-anorectal-disorders-16251</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-05T104103.770.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Rwanda,Mumbai to Kigali-PNN"></p><p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 05: </strong> In a historic landmark step toward strengthening global healthcare collaboration, Mumbai-based senior laparoscopic and laser surgeon <strong>Dr Jiten Chowdhry </strong>successfully introduced Rwanda’s first Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLA) for varicose veins and laser procedures for haemorrhoids at King Faisal Hospital, Kigali, in partnership with the Rwanda Ministry of Health.</p>
<p>The initiative marks a major advancement in minimally invasive vascular and anorectal care in Rwanda and reflects a growing model of international medical knowledge exchange focused on long-term sustainability thus placing India on the forefront of knowledge transfer.</p>
<h2>A Milestone in Modern Vascular & Anorectal Care</h2>
<p>Varicose veins are a common yet often debilitating condition affecting millions worldwide. Traditional surgical treatment typically involves vein stripping — a more invasive procedure requiring larger incisions, longer recovery time, and extended hospitalisation.</p>
<p>Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLA), by contrast, is a minimally invasive technique that uses laser energy to seal diseased veins from within. Performed under regional anaesthesia,</p>
<p>the procedure significantly reduces surgical trauma, post-operative discomfort, and recovery time while improving patient outcomes.</p>
<p>Similarly, <strong>haemorrhoids (commonly known as piles) </strong>are swollen vascular cushions in the anal canal that can cause bleeding, pain, itching, and discomfort. Conventional surgical approaches often involve significant post-operative pain and prolonged recovery. Modern laser treatment for haemorrhoids offers a minimally invasive alternative, reducing tissue damage, minimising bleeding, and allowing patients to resume normal activities much faster.</p>
<p>In addition to varicose veins and haemorrhoids, laser techniques were also introduced for anorectal conditions such as fissures and piles, enhancing Rwanda’s capability in advanced proctological care.</p>
<p>Until now, patients in Rwanda seeking advanced laser treatment for varicose veins and haemorrhoids frequently had to travel abroad, facing financial and logistical challenges. The introduction of these procedures at King Faisal Hospital now provides access to world-class minimally invasive care within the country.</p>
<p>“This is a transformative step for vascular and anorectal care in Rwanda,” said Dr. Clement, vascular surgeon at King Faisal Hospital. “We are now equipped with the skills, technology, and confidence to provide advanced laser treatment locally. This will greatly benefit our patients and enhance our surgical capabilities.”</p>
<h2>Collaborative Surgical Effort</h2>
<p>During this milestone initiative, <strong>Dr Brehan and Dr Fidel </strong>were actively involved in the laser treatment of piles and fissures. Their participation in patient assessment, procedural execution, and post-operative care ensured a collaborative approach to introducing advanced laser proctology techniques in Rwanda.</p>
<p>Working alongside Dr Chowdhry, the team focused not only on performing successful cases but also on strengthening local expertise in managing haemorrhoids, fissures, and other anorectal disorders through laser technology. Their engagement reflects the hospital’s commitment to adopting modern, patient-friendly surgical solutions.</p>
<h2>Beyond Surgery: A Commitment to Skill Transfer</h2>
<p>While the introduction of EVLA and laser treatment for haemorrhoids represents a medical milestone, the broader impact lies in structured training and knowledge transfer.</p>
<p>Dr Chowdhry worked closely with the Rwandan surgical team, guiding them through patient evaluation, procedural planning, laser technique, safety protocols, and post-operative management. The objective was clear: ensure local surgeons could independently continue offering the procedures with confidence.</p>
<p>Within days of the initial cases, Rwandan doctors successfully performed additional laser procedures, reporting highly satisfactory early outcomes. One minor post-operative event was managed conservatively without complication, reinforcing both procedural safety and team preparedness.</p>
<p>“Surgical outreach must go beyond performing cases,” Dr Chowdhry stated. “The real achievement lies in empowering local systems. When teams gain both competence and confidence, healthcare evolves sustainably.”</p>
<p>He further added,</p>
<p>“Medicine progresses when knowledge crosses borders. Our responsibility as surgeons is not only to treat patients but also to build systems that continue delivering advanced care long after we leave.”</p>
<h2>Strengthening Global Healthcare Collaboration</h2>
<p>The collaboration between King Faisal Hospital and Dr Chowdhry reflects a modern approach to international healthcare partnerships — focused not on temporary intervention but on capacity building.</p>
<p>By equipping local surgeons with advanced minimally invasive skills in vascular and anorectal laser procedures, the initiative supports Rwanda’s long-term healthcare development goals and reduces dependence on overseas medical treatment.</p>
<p>The program also highlights the increasing role of Indian medical professionals in global health collaboration. India’s expertise in high-volume minimally invasive and laser surgery has positioned its surgeons as key contributors in international training and outreach programs.</p>
<h2>Impact for Patients and the Healthcare System</h2>
<p>The availability of EVLA and laser treatment for haemorrhoids in Rwanda is expected to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Improve access to modern vein and anorectal treatment</li>
<li>Reduce patient travel abroad for advanced procedures</li>
<li>Lower overall healthcare costs for families</li>
<li>Strengthen local surgical infrastructure</li>
<li>Enhance confidence within Rwanda’s vascular and proctology ecosystem</li>
</ul>
<p>For patients, the benefit is immediate — shorter recovery times, reduced discomfort, minimal scarring, and access to advanced care closer to home.</p>
<p>For the healthcare system, it represents a meaningful step toward greater self-reliance, modernisation, and sustainable surgical advancement.</p>

<p><span dir="LTR"><strong>New Delhi [India], March 05: </strong>In a time when information is abundant but clarity is scarce, leading medical specialists Dr Ashish Piplwa and Dr. Ambika Bansal have come together to launch their highly anticipated book, </span><a href="https://amzn.in/d/07uUzZT6" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><u><span dir="LTR">Unlocked</span></u></strong></a><em><span dir="LTR">: Unlocking Knowledge of Your Body, Intimacy and Sexual Health</span></em><span dir="LTR">. Designed specifically for young adults, the book aims to break long-standing taboos and offer evidence-based insights into intimate and sexual health—areas often clouded by misinformation, stigma, and silence.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">With years of clinical experience in urology and dermatology, the authors have witnessed firsthand the confusion, anxiety, and hesitation many young people face when it comes to understanding their own bodies. Questions about intimacy, sexual wellness, reproductive health, and body changes are often left unasked due to embarrassment or fear of judgment. </span><em><span dir="LTR">Unlocked</span></em><span dir="LTR"> addresses these gaps with compassion, medical accuracy, and a clear message: </span><strong><span dir="LTR">“Knowing your body is not bold—it’s basic.”</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span dir="LTR">Replacing Myths with Science</span></strong></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">One of the central themes of </span><em><span dir="LTR">Unlocked</span></em><span dir="LTR"> is dismantling the myths that continue to circulate around intimate health. In the age of social media and unverified online advice, young adults are frequently exposed to misleading information that can impact both physical and mental wellbeing. By grounding every chapter in scientific evidence and clinical expertise, the authors aim to provide readers with clarity that builds confidence.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">“Intimate health is part of overall wellbeing,” the authors emphasize. “It deserves the same attention, openness, and care as heart health or mental health.” Through accessible language and practical explanations, </span><em><span dir="LTR">Unlocked</span></em><span dir="LTR"> reframes conversations around topics that have traditionally been considered uncomfortable. The goal is not sensationalism, but normalization.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">The book thoughtfully covers essential aspects of anatomy, sexual health, hygiene, dermatological concerns, urological issues, and emotional dimensions of intimacy. It speaks directly to the uncertainties young adults often experience—whether about bodily changes, relationships, performance anxieties, or societal expectations.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-102387 aligncenter" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-05-03-26-1.jpg" alt="UNLOCKED" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p><strong><span dir="LTR">Bridging the Gap Between Medicine and Everyday Life</span></strong></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">What sets </span><em><span dir="LTR">Unlocked</span></em><span dir="LTR"> apart is its dual-author perspective. As a urologist and a dermatologist, Dr. Piplwa and Dr. Bansal bring complementary expertise that offers a holistic understanding of intimate wellness. Urological and dermatological health often intersect in matters of sexual wellbeing, yet patients rarely receive integrated guidance. This book bridges that gap.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">Beyond medical facts, </span><em><span dir="LTR">Unlocked</span></em><span dir="LTR"> acknowledges the psychological weight that stigma can carry. Shame, misinformation, and silence can create unnecessary distress. The authors advocate for open dialogue and self-education as tools for empowerment. Their message is clear: </span><strong><span dir="LTR">Clarity builds confidence.</span></strong></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">By encouraging readers to approach their bodies with curiosity rather than fear, the book creates a safe space for learning. It empowers young adults to ask questions, seek professional advice when needed, and reject harmful myths.</span></p>
<p><strong><span dir="LTR">A Timely Contribution to Changing Conversations</span></strong></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">The launch of </span><em><span dir="LTR">Unlocked</span></em><span dir="LTR"> comes at a pivotal time. Globally, conversations around sexual wellness and mental health are gaining visibility, yet structured, science-based guidance tailored for young adults remains limited. Educational systems often provide fragmented information, leaving individuals to navigate complex topics alone.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">Dr. Piplwa and Dr. Bansal believe that informed individuals make healthier decisions—not only physically but emotionally and socially. By normalizing discussions around intimacy and sexual health, they hope to contribute to a broader cultural shift where knowledge replaces fear and understanding replaces stigma.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">Their primary goal with this launch is not merely to release a book, but to spark informed conversations within families, peer groups, and communities. Through this initiative, they aim to position themselves as thought leaders advocating responsible, medically accurate education in intimate health.</span></p>
<p><strong><span dir="LTR">A Call to Empowerment</span></strong></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">At its core, </span><em><span dir="LTR">Unlocked</span></em><span dir="LTR"> is an invitation—to learn, to question, and to grow. It reassures readers that uncertainty about one’s body is common, but remaining uninformed does not have to be.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">“If you’ve ever felt unsure about your body, this is your sign to start learning,” the authors share. “</span><em><span dir="LTR">Unlocked</span></em><span dir="LTR"> is one step in that journey.”</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">By combining professional authority with an empathetic tone, Dr. Piplwa and Dr. Bansal have crafted a guide that speaks directly to the needs of today’s young adults. The book reinforces that self-awareness is not controversial—it is essential.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">As </span><em><span dir="LTR">Unlocked: Unlocking Knowledge of Your Body, Intimacy and Sexual Health</span></em><span dir="LTR"> reaches readers, it promises to do more than educate. It aims to transform the way intimate health is understood—shifting the narrative from secrecy to science, from hesitation to confidence.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">For young adults ready to replace myths with knowledge and shame with understanding, </span><em><span dir="LTR">Unlocked</span></em><span dir="LTR"> offers a clear and empowering starting point.</span></p>

Whether you are creating an adequate corpus for your child’s higher education, a new house, or your retirement, being aware of how your investible grows over the long term is essential. Here is where an online lumpsum calculator comes in handy.</p>
<p>It helps investors figure out potential returns when they invest a significant amount in a single go. For those browsing through the best mutual fund options in India, this online instrument serves as a guide, helping you align your investments with your long-term financial goals. With just a few clicks, it turns complicated computations into easy insights, which empowers you to plan smarter.</p>
<p>Here’s how a lumpsum calculator helps in investment planning:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Helps estimate future value accurately</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>An online lumpsum calculator provides an accurate estimate of how much your one-time investment could grow over a particular time period. By inputting details such as the investment amount, anticipated return rate, and investment duration, you can quickly view the future value of your investment and your total returns.</p>
<p>This gives you a realistic picture of your potential wealth and helps in setting financial goals that are attainable.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Simplifies mutual fund planning</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>For investors looking to invest in mutual funds, an online lumpsum calculator simplifies decision-making. It helps compare how distinct funds perform over time, depending on estimated returns.</p>
<p>Whether you are investing in equity, debt, or hybrid funds, this online tool allows you to plan your lumpsum investments as per your risk appetite and financial objectives.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Encourages goal-based investing</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>An online lumpsum calculator helps link your investments to particular goals, such as saving ₹20 lakh for your child’s higher education or ₹50 lakh for retirement. It computes how much you need to invest today to meet such goals as per the desired timeframe. This goal-oriented approach keeps your investments focused and aligned with your goals.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Supports better financial decision-making</strong></li>

<p>Using an online lumpsum calculator ensures that your investment decisions are based on data and not guesswork. It allows you to adjust parameters like the investment duration or anticipated return rate and instantly view how that affects your final corpus.</p>

<ol>
<li><strong>Saves time and avoids complex manual calculations</strong></li>

        <title>Driving the Future of Lending: AllCloud Hosts Hyderabad’s First FinTech Yatra 2026 Mixer</title>

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/driving-the-future-of-lending-allcloud-hosts-hyderabads-first-fintech-yatra-2026-mixer-16242</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-03-03-26-5.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="AllCloud"></p><p dir="ltr"><strong>Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], March 05: </strong>Hyderabad’s fintech ecosystem reached a new milestone with the successful hosting of the city’s first FinTech Yatra 2026 Mixer, bringing together leading founders, investors, risk leaders, and technology architects for an evening of high-impact dialogue on the future of financial infrastructure.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The exclusive gathering reflected the city’s growing influence in shaping AI-led, API-first lending systems and scalable fintech innovation. The event was hosted by AllCloud, Hyderabad-based Unified Lending Technology provider, in collaboration with FinTech Meet-up.</p>
<p>Founded by Ankith Khadloya, Rahul Jain, and Ashish Khadloya, AllCloud is a bootstrapped SaaS company that has grown into one of India’s leading Lending Technology Infrastructure platforms. With a team strength of 160+ professionals, the company serves 110+ financial institutions across India and International markets, supporting lending operations at scale.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The exclusive, invite-only gathering brought together 55+ Industry leaders, including Fintech Founders, Technology architects, investors, risk heads, and venture capital participants for deep conversations around the future of lending infrastructure.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The evening reflected Hyderabad’s growing stature as a fintech innovation hub. Long known for its technology talent pool, the city is now emerging as a destination where fintech products are conceptualized, built, funded, and scaled.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As the host organization, AllCloud positioned the mixer around a central thesis: the next decade of lending will be driven by unified, API-first platforms rather than fragmented, stitched systems.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Hyderabad’s Fintech Evolution: From Delivery Hub to Decision Hub</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">Opening the evening, Rahul Jain, Co-Founder of AllCloud, spotlighted Hyderabad’s rapid rise in India’s fintech landscape. He emphasized that the city has moved beyond backend support to become a true hub for product innovation and decision-making.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Hyderabad-based fintech’s are now building credit products, risk frameworks, and infrastructure platforms serving national and global markets.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Rahul underscored the power of ecosystem density — where founders, operators, investors, and infrastructure players collaborated to build scalable, compliant lending models.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“The strength of an ecosystem lies in the density of decision-makers in one room. Hyderabad is reaching that inflection point where product, capital, and execution meet.</p>
<p dir="ltr">He concluded by reinforcing that regulatory alignment, operational control, and scalable technology are no longer advantages — they are essentials.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Technology at the Core: AI & Microservices Architecture</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">Ashish Khadloya, Co-Founder and CTO of AllCloud, spotlighted the architectural shift required in modern lending. He emphasized that scalable growth today depends on cloud-native, microservices-based infrastructure — not monolithic core systems.</p>
<p dir="ltr">He outlined how modular architecture enables lenders to launch products like MSME loans, Auto & EV finance, Gold Loans, Microfinance, and LAP without rebuilding their core stack. Flexibility, speed, and compliance must be engineered into the system from day one.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A key focus was the evolution from traditional AI to Agentic AI — intelligent agents that orchestrate workflows across origination, verification, servicing, and collections. Rather than isolated scoring models, these systems coordinate decisions, manage exceptions, flag compliance triggers, and optimize risk in real time.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Ashish stressed that AI must operate within a structured, explainable, and auditable architecture. In lending, intelligence cannot be a black box — it must be embedded within compliant, controllable infrastructure.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The session reinforced a clear message: the Future of Lending belongs to institutions built on AI-first, microservices-driven architecture.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>A High-Impact Leadership Room</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">The FinTech Mixer brought together over 55+ industry professionals, including fintech founders, NBFC leadership teams, venture capital firms, angel investors, and ecosystem partners — creating a high-density room of decision-makers.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The curated format ensured conversations remained practical, operator-driven, and grounded in execution challenges rather than theoretical discussions.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Dialogue throughout the evening centered on:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">The transition from stitched vendor stacks to unified lending architecture</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Real-time underwriting and verification frameworks</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Scalable partner onboarding through co-lending APIs</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Analytics-driven collections and portfolio intelligence</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Compliance-ready workflows aligned with RBI regulations</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">Artificial intelligence featured prominently, particularly in the context of AI-assisted risk assessment and decision systems.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Investors and venture capital participants showed strong interest in how infrastructure maturity directly influences valuation, scalability, and long-term portfolio quality. Their presence highlighted a clear industry shift — technology infrastructure is no longer viewed merely as an operational support layer, but as a core strategic value driver in modern lending businesses.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>AllCloud’s Unified Lending Technology Platform</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">As a Hyderabad-headquartered fintech company, AllCloud has built a strong reputation over the past decade as a Unified Lending Technology platform serving NBFCs and digital lenders across secured and unsecured lending segments.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Now a 10-year-old bootstrapped SaaS company, supports lending operations across India while extending its footprint internationally.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Its modular, API-first architecture spans the entire lending lifecycle, covering:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.allcloud.in/loan-origination-software" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Loan Origination System (LOS)</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.allcloud.in/loan-management-system" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Loan Management System (LMS)</a></li>
<li>Collections & Recoveries</li>
<li>Co-Lending & Partner Management</li>
<li>Lending Analytics & Compliance Automation</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">By consolidating these functions into a single integrated infrastructure layer, AllCloud enables institutions to scale multi-product portfolios without operational fragmentation.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The platform delivers real-time decisioning workflows, configurable product engines, automated compliance monitoring, partner-ready API integrations, and portfolio-level analytics dashboards.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This unified approach allows lenders to reduce dependency on multiple vendors, accelerate product launches, strengthen governance frameworks, and operate with greater agility in a competitive and regulated lending environment.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>FinTech Yatra 2026: Expanding Ecosystem Conversations</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">The Hyderabad edition was part of FinTech Yatra 2026, an initiative by FinTech Meet-up aimed at strengthening fintech ecosystems across cities through curated gatherings and leadership forums.</p>
<p dir="ltr">While FinTech Yatra brings a broader ecosystem framework, AllCloud anchored the Hyderabad event with a strong lending infrastructure narrative and operator-focused engagement.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The collaboration reflects a growing recognition that ecosystem growth requires both community-building platforms and technology leaders willing to host meaningful industry conversations.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Hyderabad’s Growing International Footprint</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">A notable aspect of the event was the discussion around international scalability. With several attendees building cross-border fintech models and international investors evaluating Indian lending opportunities, the dialogue extended beyond domestic growth.</p>
<p dir="ltr">AllCloud’s international experience in enabling scalable, compliance-ready lending platforms positioned it as a strategic infrastructure partner for institutions aiming to expand beyond regional markets.</p>

<div>
<p><span><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 05</strong>: </span>IMR Group (“<strong>IMR</strong>”), a leading international metals and mining conglomerate, today announced a strategic investment of INR 300 Crores in Steel Exchange India Limited (“<strong>SEIL</strong>”) through subscription to share warrants. The investment will be made through IMR’s Indian entities — India Coke and Power Private Limited (“<strong>ICPPL</strong>”) and IMR Steel Private Limited (“<strong>ISPL</strong>”). This capital infusion will strengthen SEIL’s operations, optimize its debt structure, and position the company for accelerated growth — marking a significant milestone in IMR’s forward integration strategy and its expansion across India’s high-growth steel sector.</p>
<p><strong>Strategic Impact</strong></p>
<p>IMR Group, headquartered in Switzerland with operations in over 17 countries, operates a fully integrated metals platform spanning global mineral trading, mining, and downstream steel production. Through this investment, IMR will leverage its global sourcing capabilities for critical raw materials — including metallurgical coke, coking coal, non-coking coal, and ferrous scrap — to enhance SEIL’s operational efficiency, supply chain security, and competitiveness. The partnership positions SEIL to capitalize on India’s rapidly expanding steel demand, while reinforcing IMR’s long-term commitment to the Indian steel ecosystem.</p>
<p><strong>Mr. Anirudh Misra, Group CEO and Chairman, IMR,</strong> said “<em>This strategic investment in SEIL marks a decisive step in IMR’s forward integration journey. India is central to our growth strategy, and we are highly bullish on the long-term prospects of the Indian steel industry. By combining IMR’s global sourcing strength with SEIL’s manufacturing platform, we see a powerful opportunity to accelerate growth, optimize operations, and create substantial value for all stakeholders.</em>”</p>
<p><strong>Mr. Bandi Suresh Kumar, Joint Managing Director, SEIL,</strong> said “<em>We are proud and privileged to welcome IMR Group as a strategic Investor. Our long-standing relationship is now strengthened with this investment. As a port-based integrated steel plant, SEIL is strategically positioned to leverage India’s booming steel demand. With IMR’s global scale and expertise, we are confident of driving strong growth and delivering enhanced value to our customers and stakeholders.</em>”</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-02T103428.552.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="India Goldilocks Economy: RBI’s Strong, Steady Signal-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p data-start="710" data-end="878"><strong>New Delhi [India], March 02</strong>: India isn’t overheating. It isn’t stalling either. According to the RBI, the economy is right where it needs to be, steady, balanced, and holding its nerve.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="2ll8f0" data-start="1191" data-end="1240"><strong data-start="1195" data-end="1240">What the RBI Really Means by “<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/ca-rajesh-chowdhary-ba2b45207_rbi-monetary-policy-review-activity-7425897642876022784-o4aR" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Goldilocks</a>”</strong></h3>
<p data-start="1242" data-end="1442">The term gets thrown around a lot. Sometimes lazily. Sometimes, to avoid saying anything specific. But when <strong data-start="1349" data-end="1390"><span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline"><span class="whitespace-normal">Sanjay Malhotra</span></span></strong> talks about a Goldilocks phase, he’s being precise.</p>
<p data-start="1444" data-end="1647">The <strong data-start="1448" data-end="1489"><span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline"><span class="whitespace-normal">Reserve Bank of India</span></span></strong> sees an economy that’s growing without lighting inflation on fire. Demand is alive. Credit is flowing. Financial stress isn’t creeping in through the back door.</p>
<p data-start="1649" data-end="1670">And that’s the point.</p>
<p data-start="1672" data-end="1807">In a world where economies are either slamming the brakes or flooring the accelerator, India is cruising. Calmly. Almost stubbornly so.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="1phdm6x" data-start="1814" data-end="1873"><strong data-start="1818" data-end="1873">India’s Goldilocks Economy and the Strength of Demand</strong></h3>
<p data-start="1875" data-end="2072">The backbone of the India Goldilocks economy is demand that refuses to collapse. Consumption hasn’t vanished the moment borrowing costs rose. Investment hasn’t frozen because of global uncertainty.</p>
<p data-start="2074" data-end="2269">Households are still spending. Carefully, yes. But spending nonetheless. Businesses are expanding capacity where it makes sense. Infrastructure projects keep rolling, not in bursts, but steadily.</p>
<p data-start="2271" data-end="2367">This isn’t headline-grabbing growth. It’s the kind that sneaks up on you and then sticks around.</p>
<p data-start="2369" data-end="2545">Credit growth reflects this reality. Lending isn’t concentrated in one overheated corner. It’s spread across housing, services, industry, and MSMEs. That spread matters. A lot.</p>
<p data-start="2547" data-end="2590">When growth is broad, it’s harder to break.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="1sj2l0y" data-start="2597" data-end="2640"><strong data-start="2601" data-end="2640">Banks, Finally, Are Doing Their Job</strong></h3>
<p data-start="2642" data-end="2828">I still remember when any RBI speech about growth was followed by a quiet pause. Then someone would say it. Banks. Bad loans. Stressed balance sheets. Those words haunted every forecast.</p>
<p data-start="2830" data-end="2864">That phase, largely, is behind us.</p>
<p data-start="2866" data-end="3063">Malhotra made it clear. Banks today are stronger, better capitalised, and far more disciplined. Asset quality has improved. Provisioning buffers exist for bad days, not just good PowerPoint slides.</p>
<p data-start="3065" data-end="3144">Risk-taking hasn’t disappeared. It’s just smarter now. Less bravado. More math.</p>
<p data-start="3146" data-end="3272">And honestly, that’s exactly what the India Goldilocks economy needs. Banks that lend without panicking. And without gambling.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="1waaekt" data-start="3279" data-end="3335"><strong data-start="3283" data-end="3335">Inflation Still Bites, But It’s Not Running Wild</strong></h3>
<p data-start="3337" data-end="3537">Let’s not pretend inflation feels gentle. It doesn’t. Especially food prices. They spike. They fall. They spike again. Don’t ask me why onions always end up starring in macro debates, but here we are.</p>
<p data-start="3539" data-end="3694">Still, the RBI’s assessment is measured. Inflation pressures exist, but they aren’t spiralling. Core inflation has moderated. Expectations remain anchored.</p>
<p data-start="3696" data-end="3810">Malhotra didn’t dismiss the risks. Global commodity swings. Weather shocks. External volatility. All acknowledged.</p>
<p data-start="3812" data-end="3861">But here’s the key line. Inflation is manageable.</p>
<p data-start="3863" data-end="4033">That single word changes everything. Manageable inflation allows growth to continue. Unmanageable inflation kills it. India, for now, sits on the right side of that line.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="o14k3s" data-start="4040" data-end="4079"><strong data-start="4044" data-end="4079">Global Mess, Domestic Composure</strong></h3>
<p data-start="4081" data-end="4236">Zoom out for a second. The global economy is jittery. Trade tensions simmer. Geopolitics refuse to calm down. Capital flows move at the speed of headlines.</p>
<p data-start="4238" data-end="4278">And yet, India’s macro foundations hold.</p>
<p data-start="4280" data-end="4433">Foreign exchange reserves act as a buffer. Fiscal consolidation continues, even if not at breakneck speed. External balances remain within comfort zones.</p>
<p data-start="4435" data-end="4530">This doesn’t mean India is immune. No economy is. But shocks are being absorbed, not amplified.</p>
<p data-start="4532" data-end="4599">That difference is the unsung hero of the India Goldilocks economy.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="1fqlj5b" data-start="4606" data-end="4646"><strong data-start="4610" data-end="4646">Why This Phase Could Last Longer</strong></h3>
<p data-start="4648" data-end="4760">The RBI isn’t promising fireworks. No chest-thumping. No victory laps. What Malhotra is signaling is continuity.</p>
<p data-start="4762" data-end="4910">Growth that’s strong enough to create jobs. Monetary conditions that are supportive without being reckless. Policy that responds to data, not noise.</p>
<p data-start="4912" data-end="4939">In other words, discipline.</p>
<p data-start="4941" data-end="5006">And discipline is boring. Until you realize how rare it’s become.</p>
<p data-start="5008" data-end="5145">India isn’t chasing sugar highs. It’s building stamina. That’s why this Goldilocks phase might actually last longer than skeptics expect.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-03-03-26-4.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Palladium"></p><p><span><strong>Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], March 03:</strong> </span>What happens when Ahmedabad’s most enthusiastic food lovers, creators, and tastemakers gather under one roof to honour flavour? A night that crackled with energy and appetite. After unforgettable editions in Mumbai and Pune, the ELLE Gourmet food crawl arrived at Palladium Ahmedabad with a spirited momentum that turned the city’s largest F&B destination into a vibrant culinary playground.</p>
<p>With more than 50 dining outlets spread across the mall, the evening unfolded as a progressive feast through eight standout restaurants. The ELLE Gourmet India X Palladium Ahmedabad Food Crawl had over 70 guests check in, mingle, click photos, and embrace the excitement of exploring the city’s most dynamic flavours together.</p>
<h2>The Food Trails</h2>
<p>FOO set the tone as the meeting point for all three groups, a lively start where anticipation built over the clink of glasses, warm greetings and Pan-Asian bites, and ended with flavourful Indian dishes at Ishaara. Once assembled, guests split into colour-coded groups led by three spirited hosts who each brought their own flavour to the experience: Aishwarya Sonvane, Home Chef & Content Creator, Kriti Dhiman, Chef, Entrepreneur & Content Creator and Suril Udeshi, Restaurant Consultant. What followed was an exuberant trail, each route revealing different sides of Ahmedabad’s ever-evolving dining landscape.</p>
<h2>Trail One With Aishwarya Sonvane</h2>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-102331 aligncenter" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-03-03-26-1-1.jpg" alt="Palladium" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p>The first trail kicked off at FOO, where contemporary Asian tapas set an upbeat rhythm. From there, the trail moved to Punjab Grill, where the beloved <em>Palak Patta Chaat</em> brought crunch and nostalgia to the table. At Jamie Oliver Kitchen, the Mushroom Pizza drew nods of approval with its hearty comfort. The finale unfolded at Ishaara, where guests enjoyed the expressive service and rich flavours, anchored by the crowd favourite <em>Lahori Paneer Tikka</em>.</p>
<h2>Trail Two With Kriti Dhiman</h2>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-102332 aligncenter" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-03-03-26-2-1.jpg" alt="Palladium" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p>Kriti’s crew began their journey at FOO, soaking in the warm, umami-rich bites before heading to Cream Centre, where the iconic Original <em>Channa</em><em>Bhatura</em> delivered a taste of pure culinary heritage. Next came Cha, introducing guests to the colourful “Cha” Vegetable Futomaki Roll, a playful nod to Japanese influences.</p>
<h2>Trail Three With Suril Udeshi</h2>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-102333 aligncenter" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-03-03-26-3-1.jpg" alt="Palladium" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p>Suril led the third group through a route that balanced comfort with discovery. After their energetic start at FOO, the group headed to Burma Burma, where the signature Samosa Soup and Silkroute Sundae added depth and soul to the evening. At Café Allora, the Classic Tomato Bruschetta and Tiramisu sparked instant excitement.</p>
<h2>A Night That Ended In Style</h2>
<p>As all groups completed their trails, they merged once again in the buzzing atrium of Palladium Ahmedabad. Conversations flowed naturally as guests compared favourites, revisited standout dishes, snapped final pictures, and continued exploring the space long after the structured routes ended.</p>
<p>What emerged was a sense of collective joy, a celebration of craft, connection, and shared discovery. In its Ahmedabad edition, the ELLE Gourmet Food Crawl did more than highlight great food; it showcased a community united by curiosity and flavour and we gave them the perfect night to celebrate flavour in style.</p>

Designed as an early readiness assessment, the Olympiad enabled students to experience the rigour of international tests while gaining clarity on their academic standing, strengths, and future pathways.</p>
<p>Students from across India participated in the Olympiad, representing diverse educational backgrounds and schooling systems. More than 250 schools, spanning CBSE, ICSE/ISC, IB, IGCSE, Cambridge, State Boards, and home-school networks, took part, positioning the Olympiad as a broad-based academic benchmarking initiative rather than competitiveranking exercise.</p>
<p>Performance outcomes reflected encouraging academic depth. 20% of participating students scored 1400 or above on the SAT, while 4% achieved scores of 1500+, placing them within the top national percentile and demonstrating readiness for globally benchmarked undergraduate pathways.</p>
<p>Among participating institutions, select schools, including DPS Faridabad, Loyola School Trivandrum, Chettinad Hari Shree Vidyalayam Chennai, and Srinidhi International School, saw multiple students record strong outcomes, highlighting the role schools play in supporting early exposure to international academic standards. Regionally, students from South India demonstrated particularly strong performance, while schools across North India contributed meaningfully to participation and results, reflecting widening national interest in global academic readiness.</p>
<p>Beyond test scores, the Olympiad focused on student learning and insight. Participants received structured performance feedback and exposure to the format and expectations of internationally recognised assessments such as the SAT and TOEFL. High-performing students further accessed scholarship-linked enrichment, mentorship, and guidance opportunities through partner programmes, supporting informed academic planning rather than test preparation alone.</p>
<p>Reflecting on the experience, a representative from DPS Faridabad said: “The SAT & TOEFL Olympiad provided our students with a valuable opportunity to experience globally benchmarked assessments in a structured and motivating environment. It helped them gain early clarity on international testing standards, build confidence through real performance feedback, and explore meaningful academic and scholarship-linked opportunities. We value the exposure and enrichment this platform has offered our students.”</p>
<p>A parent of a participating student from Chettinad Hari Shree Vidyalayam, Chennai, said: “As a parent, the Olympiad offered valuable insight into where my child stands academically in a global context. The experience went beyond scores — it provided clarity, confidence, and access to guidance and scholarship opportunities that helped us think more clearly about future academic choices.”</p>
<p>The SAT & TOEFL Olympiad was conceived to give Indian school students early exposure to globally recognisedassessments while supporting learning through mentorship and enrichment. Delivered in collaboration with knowledge and enrichment partners including ETS, Krea University, Lumiere Education, Makers Asylum, and ROAM, the Olympiad connects assessment with insight, opportunity, and academic growth.</p>
<p>Building on the 2025 edition, the SAT & TOEFL Olympiad will continue as a national academic initiative, enabling greater participation from students in regions that were previously underrepresented or unable to participate. The next edition of the Olympiad is scheduled for July 2026.</p>

        <title>Digital Declutter Checklist for 2026</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/digital-declutter-checklist-for-2026</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/digital-declutter-checklist-for-2026</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-1-5.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Digital Declutter Checklist for 2026-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], March 03: </strong>Your phone is not just a device. It is a storage unit for decisions you postponed. Whether you are aware of it or not, you scroll through immense amounts of data on your phone each day, but have you ever thought of this thing called digital declutter?</p>
<p>Unread emails. Screenshots you never revisit. Apps downloaded during a phase you don’t remember. Cloud folders named “New Final Final.”</p>
<p>Digital clutter is an invisible weight. In 2026, the cost isn’t storage — it’s attention.</p>
<p>This digital declutter checklist is not about aesthetic minimalism. It is about cognitive efficiency.</p>
<h2>Why Digital Clutter Drains Focus</h2>
<p>Every notification competes with working memory. Every disorganized folder adds friction. Research in cognitive psychology consistently shows that micro-decisions deplete mental bandwidth.</p>
<p>Digital clutter creates:</p>
<ul>
<li>Decision fatigue</li>
<li>Slower task switching</li>
<li>Reduced deep work capacity</li>
<li>Low-grade background stress</li>
</ul>
<p>You don’t feel it immediately. You feel it at 9:47 PM when you are tired but cannot explain why.</p>
<p>A clean digital environment reduces micro-friction. Less friction equals more usable energy.</p>
<h2>Step-by-Step Declutter Plan</h2>
<p>Use this as your printable digital declutter checklist for 2026.</p>
<h3>1. App Detox (Reduce Screen Clutter)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Delete apps unused for 60 days</li>
<li>Remove duplicate utility apps</li>
<li>Turn off non-essential notifications</li>
<li>Move distracting apps off the home screen</li>

This strategic event will provide Indian companies and financial institutions with direct access to major capital holders, investors, and key individuals shaping Russia’s investment policy.</p>
<p><strong>Russian Capital Seeks Partners in India </strong></p>

<p><strong>Federation, Vladimir Chistyukhin, First Deputy Governor of the Bank of Russia, Alexander Ageev, </strong></p>
<p>Director of the Institute for Economic Strategies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and Eduard Grekov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Gas Machines Group, President of BIREX Investment Company, and Chairman of the Forum.

<p>MBF treats the issue not as a stray menace, but as a governance and economic opportunity. The model integrates identification, 80%+ vaccination coverage, sterilisation tracking, behaviour monitoring, and structured deployment of community dogs into a single accountable system.</p>
<p>Under MBF, existing animal pounds will be transformed into government-owned animal hospitals and trauma units—boosting sterilisation capacity, expanding veterinary employment, and generating sustainable state revenue. A centralized mobile app will allow municipalities and feeders to collaboratively track sterilisation, feeding zones, health checks, behavioural reports, geotagged databases, microchipping, and adoption drives.</p>
<p>The framework proposes freelancing sterilisation to accredited private medical centres, training society dogs into security assets, deploying therapy dogs in hospitals, implementing reflective collaring of dogs and cattle to reduce road accidents, and incentivising Indie dog adoption while introducing structured taxation on foreign breeds.</p>
<p>By shifting from removal-based policies to regulated coexistence, MBF aims to reduce bite incidents, eliminate rabies risk, restore civic order, and build a self-sustaining humane governance system.</p>
<p>“Our country has been an animal loving nation with root examples in our Gods having half animal forms and worshipping animals, I plan on worshipping our roots and following the paths our ancestors did to make a better animal human relationship through MBF”.</p>

        <title>Why Businesses Are Searching for the Best SMM Panel in 2026</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/why-businesses-are-searching-for-the-best-smm-panel-in-2026</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/why-businesses-are-searching-for-the-best-smm-panel-in-2026</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-1-3.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Why Businesses Are Searching for the Best SMM Panel in 2026-PNN"></p><p><span><strong>New Delhi [India], March 03:</strong> </span>Social media is no longer just a branding tool. For many businesses, it has become the primary channel for visibility, audience engagement, and customer acquisition. Whether it is a startup trying to build recognition or an established company protecting its digital presence, everyone is competing for attention online.</p>
<p>But gaining attention today is not easy.</p>
<p>Organic reach has declined across major platforms. Algorithms prioritize momentum. Millions of posts are uploaded every hour. In such a competitive environment, businesses are actively looking for structured solutions like an <a href="https://tntsmm.in/about-us" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">smm panel</a> to support their digital growth strategy.</p>
<p>The conversation is shifting from “how to post more” to “how to perform better.”</p>
<p><a name="_1stdq55oqwds"></a><strong>The Algorithm-Driven Landscape</strong></p>
<p>Modern social media platforms rely heavily on algorithmic systems. These systems measure early engagement signals such as likes, shares, comments, watch time, and interaction speed.</p>
<p>If a post performs well within the first hour, it is pushed to a larger audience. If engagement is slow, visibility drops quickly.</p>
<p>This dynamic has created a performance gap. Even strong content can struggle if it fails to gain early traction. Marketing teams now understand that success depends not only on quality but also on timing and distribution.</p>
<p>That is where a professional smm panel becomes part of the strategy. It helps ensure posts receive structured engagement support during critical launch windows.</p>
<p><a name="_v5no9lkwls55"></a><strong>Why the Demand for the Best SMM Panel Is Growing</strong></p>
<p>As competition increases, businesses are becoming selective. They no longer choose services randomly. Instead, they search for the best smm panel that offers reliability, safety, and operational transparency.</p>
<p>Several key factors influence this decision:</p>
<p><a name="_ox9abdr7jhwt"></a><strong>Reliability and Consistency</strong></p>
<p>Campaigns are planned carefully. Delays in delivery can disrupt product launches or promotions. A dependable platform ensures that engagement support aligns with marketing timelines.</p>
<p><a name="_t2vj1tp5hs6o"></a><strong>Natural Growth Patterns</strong></p>
<p>Sudden spikes can harm credibility. Businesses prefer controlled and gradual growth that aligns with organic audience expansion.</p>
<p><a name="_caqx5owyxwuj"></a><strong>Multi-Platform Support</strong></p>
<p>Brands are active on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Telegram, and more. Managing engagement across all platforms from one dashboard increases efficiency.</p>
<p><a name="_33w8if9pitjv"></a><strong>Reporting and Analytics</strong></p>
<p>Agencies especially require performance tracking. Clear data builds client trust.</p>
<p>The difference between an average provider and the best smm panel lies in these professional capabilities.</p>
<p><a name="_6m5f5iw3wip3"></a><strong>Agencies Are Leading the Shift</strong></p>
<p>Digital marketing agencies face intense pressure to show measurable results. Clients expect numbers — follower growth, engagement rates, and increased visibility.</p>
<p>Posting content alone is no longer enough.</p>
<p>Agencies combine creative production, paid advertisements, influencer collaborations, and structured engagement systems. An organized smm panel allows them to stabilize performance during high-traffic campaigns.</p>
<p>Within the industry, platforms such as TNT SMM are often discussed among agencies as part of a broader digital support system that complements content marketing efforts.</p>
<p>The goal is not artificial growth. It is performance management.</p>
<p><a name="_77l9e73ykfpf"></a><strong>Small Businesses Are Entering the Space</strong></p>
<p>This trend is not limited to large agencies. Small businesses are also adopting these systems.</p>
<p>For a new brand, first impressions matter. A social profile with low engagement may appear inactive or untrusted. Customers often judge credibility within seconds.</p>
<p>An smm panel can help new businesses create initial momentum. When a profile looks active, real users are more likely to interact.</p>
<p>This psychological effect is powerful in digital commerce. Social proof influences purchasing behavior more than ever before.</p>
<p><a name="_9yznivrk9lxs"></a><strong>Strategic Integration, Not Random Orders</strong></p>
<p>The market has matured significantly. Brands are no longer placing random orders. Instead, they integrate engagement support into campaign planning.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<p>● During a product launch, early engagement is scheduled.</p>
<p>● During promotional sales, visibility support aligns with advertising efforts.</p>
<p>● During collaborations, momentum is maintained across multiple posts.</p>
<p>This structured approach makes campaigns more predictable.</p>
<p>The best smm panel platforms allow users to control order flow, manage bulk activities, and scale gradually. Businesses see these tools as operational support systems rather than quick fixes.</p>
<p><a name="_fulpb7zgn4to"></a><strong>Content Still Matters</strong></p>
<p>Despite the rise of structured growth tools, one truth remains clear: content quality cannot be ignored.</p>
<p>Audiences recognize value. They engage with storytelling, authenticity, and useful information. Without strong content, engagement numbers cannot sustain long-term success.</p>
<p>However, even the best content needs exposure.</p>
<p>Many digital strategists compare social media to broadcasting. A powerful message must be amplified to reach the right audience. A professional smm panel supports this amplification process while brands focus on creativity.</p>
<p>When distribution and creativity work together, results improve significantly.</p>
<p><a name="_fetak5mu5ru1"></a><strong>Market Outlook for 2026 and Beyond</strong></p>
<p>Industry analysts predict continued expansion in social media marketing investment. Businesses are allocating larger portions of their budgets to digital growth.</p>
<p>As the market evolves, expectations are rising. Clients demand transparency, account safety, and measurable performance.</p>
<p>The definition of the best smm panel is also evolving. It is no longer about price competition alone. Stability, security, and scalability are becoming the deciding factors.</p>
<p>Professional platforms that adapt to these expectations are likely to dominate the market in the coming years.</p>
<p><a name="_41b8s2njx3tm"></a><strong>Choosing the Right Partner</strong></p>
<p>Before selecting a platform, businesses should evaluate several criteria:</p>
<p>● Does it offer controlled delivery speeds?</p>
<p>● Is multi-platform management available?</p>
<p>● Are reporting features accessible?</p>
<p>● Is customer support responsive?</p>
<p>● Does the growth pattern appear natural?</p>
<p>A thoughtful evaluation process reduces risks and increases long-term effectiveness.</p>
<p>Some digital professionals highlight platforms like TNT SMM as examples of how the industry is moving toward structured, scalable engagement systems designed to meet agency-level demands.</p>
<p><a name="_271zxpfxy0q3"></a><strong>Final Perspective</strong></p>
<p>Social media competition is not slowing down. Algorithms are becoming stricter. Content saturation continues to grow. Attention spans are shrinking.</p>
<p>Brands that adapt to these realities stand a stronger chance of success.</p>
<p>An organized smm panel is no longer viewed as optional. For many businesses, it is part of a modern digital toolkit that supports consistent growth and visibility management.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-03T140201.904.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Teakwood Pooja Mandir-PNn" decoding="async"></p><p><span dir="LTR"><strong>New Delhi [India], March 03</strong>: In the middle of daily noise and routine, everyone needs a moment of pause. A pooja mandir offers that pause. It creates a peaceful space for reflection and prayer. When designed in premium teakwood, it adds both calmness and quiet strength to the home.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">Modern interiors often look clean and open. People choose simple colours and clear lines. In a space like this a pooja mandir should be really nice and balanced. It should not look too big like it does not belong to the place. A  </span><a href="https://dzynfurnitures.com/collections/pooja-mandir" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u><span dir="LTR">premium teakwood pooja mandir</span></u></a><span dir="LTR"> is a good choice because it is traditional and it feels premium. A wooden temple made of teakwood is what you need to make your space look good.</span></p>
<h2><strong><span dir="LTR">Why Premium Teakwood is the Best Choice for a Pooja Mandir</span></strong></h2>
<p><span dir="LTR">Premium does not mean extra decoration. Premium means strong material and careful work. Teakwood is known for strength and long life. It has natural oils inside the wood which helps it handle moisture better than many other woods. A mandir is used every day so teakwood suits this role well.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">Teakwood also looks special. Each piece has its own grain pattern. The lines and shades are natural and never identical. When polished well the surface looks smooth and deep. Light falls on it and the corner feels calm.</span></p>
<h2><strong><span dir="LTR">Skilled Craftsmanship in Teakwood Pooja Mandir Design</span></strong></h2>
<p><span dir="LTR">A pooja mandir is not only furniture. It is a sacred part of the home. That is why the build quality matters. A premium teakwood mandir is shaped by skilled hands. Carvings are done with care and panels are cut in correct size. Edges are finished smooth and joints are set firmly.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">Good craft also means good function. Doors should open and close easily. Shelves should hold idols and lamps safely. Many premium mandirs include drawers for daily items. You can keep agarbatti and match sticks and a small cloth for cleaning. This keeps the pooja area neat and organised.</span></p>
<h2><strong><span dir="LTR">How to Place a Teakwood Pooja Mandir in Modern Homes</span></strong></h2>
<p><span dir="LTR">Even the best mandir needs the right placement. Choose a calm corner of the home. Avoid places where people keep crossing all day. A wall near the living room can work well if the spot stays clean and quiet. Keep the area around the mandir simple.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">Light is also important. Use soft warm light. It helps the teak grain stand out and supports a peaceful mood. If you use LED light choose a warm tone. Avoid harsh white light since it can make the space look flat.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">A simple background works best. Light wall shades help teakwood look richer. If you add a panel behind the mandir keep the design subtle. Let the mandir stay the main focus. Add only a few elements near it like fresh flowers or a clean mat.</span></p>
<h2><strong><span dir="LTR">Teakwood Pooja Mandir Designs for Different Interior Styles</span></strong></h2>
<p><span dir="LTR">Teakwood blends with many home styles. In modern homes it adds depth to simple colours. In classic homes it matches carved furniture and decor pieces. The key is size and proportion for your room.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">Choose a mandir that suits the room size. A small mandir in a large room can look lost. A large mandir in a small room can feel crowded. When the size is right the corner looks balanced.</span></p>
<h2><strong><span dir="LTR">The Emotional Value of a Teakwood Pooja Mandir at Home</span></strong></h2>
<p><span dir="LTR">A dedicated mandir shapes daily life in a quiet way. Children learn routine when they see elders pray daily. Families feel grounded during festivals and special days. The mandir also becomes a place for silent prayer during hard times. Over years these moments become memories.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">A teakwood mandir supports this bond. The wood feels solid and steady. The structure stays stable year after year. This gives confidence that your sacred corner will stay the same. Unlike trend based decor a mandir stays meaningful.</span></p>
<h2><strong><span dir="LTR">Why Investing in a Premium Teakwood Pooja Mandir Matters</span></strong></h2>
<p><span dir="LTR">A mandir is not a short term item. It should serve for years. Quality helps you avoid repairs and loose joints. Strong wood helps you avoid bending. Good polish helps you avoid early fading. Good joinery keeps doors and drawers aligned which matters in daily use.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">Quality also protects the look. Even if you change wall paint later the teakwood still suits the space. Even if you change furniture the mandir still looks graceful. This is why premium teakwood is a strong long term choice.</span></p>
<h2><strong><span dir="LTR">Explore Premium Teakwood Pooja Mandir Designs by DZYN Furnitures</span></strong></h2>
<p><span dir="LTR">If you want to see premium options you can explore the </span><a href="https://dzynfurnitures.com/collections/pooja-mandir" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u><span dir="LTR">premium teakwood pooja mandir collection by DZYN Furnitures</span></u></a><span dir="LTR">.</span><span dir="LTR"><br>
</span><span dir="LTR">Choose a design that suits your room and your daily routine. Look for strong build and smooth finishing and planned storage.</span></p>
<h2><strong><span dir="LTR">Final Thoughts on Choosing a Premium Teakwood Pooja Mandir</span></strong></h2>
<p><span dir="LTR">A premium teakwood pooja mandir brings faith and design together. It gives you a steady place for daily prayer. It also adds a refined focal point to the home. Teakwood offers strength and long life. With the right placement the corner feels calm and organised. Over time the mandir becomes part of family memories.</span></p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-03T112352.446.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Grand Centenary Commemoration Held in Honour of Late Shri Palabhai Narayandas Parmar, Who Brought Electricity to Mokasan Village in Kadi -PNN"></p><p><strong>Gandhinagar (Gujarat) [India], March 03:</strong> Mahapurush Smruti Smarak Seva Trust organized a grand memorial and tribute ceremony on the birth centenary of Late Shri Palabhai Narayandas Parmar, former MLA from Kadi, at Uma Samaj Bhavan, Shri Umiya Mataji Sansthan, Sector-12, Gandhinagar. The event was held in the presence of more than 500 members of the community and concluded with deep reverence and pride.</p>
<p>Late Shri Palabhai Narayandas Parmar was not merely a public representative but a pioneer of social harmony, development, and public welfare. He is particularly remembered for bringing electricity for the first time to Mokasan village in Kadi taluka — a historic and transformative step during the 1960s that marked a new era of development for the region. Throughout his tenure, he consistently fought for the rights and upliftment of the poor, marginalized, and underprivileged sections of society.</p>
<p>The programme was chaired by Shri Kirit Solanki (President, Scheduled Castes Morcha, Gujarat Pradesh, Bharatiya Janata Party), and the chief guests included Smt. Darshanaben Vaghela (Minister of State, Government of Gujarat), whose presence added dignity to the occasion.</p>
<p>During the ceremony, individuals from the community who have made significant contributions to society and those who served in key positions and have since retired were felicitated. The event witnessed the presence of Dalit community leaders, dedicated political representatives, heads of social organizations, religious heads of various institutions, office bearers, and a large number of community members.</p>
<p><strong>On the occasion, Shri Kirankumar Hargovindbhai Parikh, grandson of Late Shri Palabhai Narayandas Parmar, expressed his emotions, stating</strong> “My grandfather was not just a political leader; he was a leader of people’s hearts. His working style was simple, transparent, and entirely society-centric. He always believed that true service means rising above personal interest and ensuring development reaches the last person in society. Bringing electricity to Mokasan village was not merely about infrastructure; it was about lighting the lamp of progress. Seeing such a large gathering today reassures us that his values and ideals are still alive. I sincerely thank every dignitary and community member who joined us to honour his legacy.”</p>
<p>On this occasion, Lakshmanbhai Rawat, President of Mahapurush Smruti Smarak Seva Trust, said “The life of Late Shri Palabhai Narayandas Parmar is an inspiration for the entire society. In the 1960s, leaders emerged from within the community who worked tirelessly to maintain unity, promote thoughtful leadership, and prioritize public welfare. Even in his physical absence, his values of social harmony continue to live in the village. As a tribute to his vision, villagers have collectively donated two and a half bighas of land for environmental conservation, where 1,111 trees have been planted through a mass plantation drive.”</p>
<p>He further added that the responsibility of carrying forward this legacy has now been undertaken by Shri Kirankumar Hargovindbhai Parikh and his daughter-in-law, Smt. Beena Kirankumar Parikh. They have pledged to continue organizing such meaningful social initiatives in the future and remain committed to serving and supporting the community.</p>
<p>The event concluded with a vote of thanks to all dignitaries and attendees. The centenary celebration not only paid homage to Late Shri Palabhai Narayandas Parmar’s remarkable contributions but also reinforced a collective commitment towards social service, harmony, and environmental responsibility.</p> ]]></description>

        <title>Oorjaa Turns EBITDA Positive at Rs.150 Crore ARR, Eyes Deeper Penetration in Quick Commerce Supply Chain</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-03-03-26-3.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Oorjaa"></p><p dir="ltr"><span><strong>New Delhi [India], March 03:</strong> </span>Oorjaa, an intra-city logistics platform that manages inventory replenishment for quick commerce and e-commerce players, has crossed ₹150 crore in annualised recurring revenue and achieved EBITDA positivity, the company said, as rising order volumes and expanding dark store networks drive demand for organised urban logistics.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Revenue has grown at a compounded annual rate of over 80 percent, driven by deeper client penetration and geographic expansion, the company said. Oorjaa now partners with all major quick commerce platforms in India, including Blinkit, Zepto, and Swiggy Instamart, alongside e-commerce players such as Walmart, Amazon, and Flipkart.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Mumbai-founded company, which operates across more than 200 cities, moves inventory between city warehouses, fulfilment hubs, and dark stores. It handles several thousand tonnes of goods daily across what the industry calls the mid-mile — the largely unglamorous but operationally critical layer between long-haul freight and last-mile delivery.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.oorjaa.tech/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oorjaa’s </a>profitability milestone arrives at a moment of heightened scrutiny on unit economics across the quick commerce sector. Blinkit, the market leader with over 2,000 dark stores as of December 2025, reported its first-ever adjusted EBITDA profit in Q3 FY26. Swiggy’s Instamart, with 1,136 stores across 131 cities, continues to invest heavily in replenishment infrastructure as it works toward profitability. As dark store counts scale and delivery windows compress, platforms are increasingly reliant on predictable, high-frequency urban restocking — a function that has historically been served by fragmented, unorganised local transport networks.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Urban logistics has become structurally more complex,” said Sandeep Patil, Founder of Oorjaa. “As platforms add stores and tighten delivery windows, predictable city movement multiple times a day becomes a non-negotiable. The companies that can provide that without inflating cost structures will matter in the next phase of commerce.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">Oorjaa operates on an asset-light, cost-per-unit model — sourcing vehicles dynamically while retaining control over routing, scheduling, and execution through its technology layer. The approach means client costs scale with volumes rather than against them, and platforms avoid locking into fixed fleet arrangements that create capacity mismatches as demand fluctuates through the day and across cities.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Management said the company has been significantly more capital-efficient than peers in the broader logistics sector, reaching EBITDA profitability without the heavy balance-sheet investments typical of asset-heavy fleet operators. The asset-light model, combined with technology-led route optimization, has allowed the company to scale across geographies while maintaining cost discipline.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The company said growth has been driven by deep. The diversified client base across all major quick commerce platforms reduces concentration risk and provides stability as individual platforms navigate their own profitability cycles, management noted.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Founded in 2019 by Sandeep Patil, Prashant Mohite, Yogesh Parab, and Umesh Singh, <a href="https://www.oorjaa.tech/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oorjaa </a>entered the market before quick commerce emerged as a mainstream category, originally focused on the broader problem of high-frequency intra-city movement for organised retail and e-commerce. The subsequent explosion of dark store-led quick commerce has validated both the market and the operating model.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With profitability achieved, Oorjaa said it is targeting $100 million in revenue as its next milestone, with plans to deepen capabilities in existing cities, invest in technology to improve visibility and execution across high-frequency urban movements, and selectively expand its city footprint in line with client demand. The company aims to establish itself as a formidable player in India’s intra-city logistics sector, a segment that remains largely underserved by organized operators despite being a direct input into the operating costs of India’s fastest-growing consumer commerce platforms.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Industry estimates suggest India’s intra-city logistics market for organized retail and quick commerce could reach ₹8,000-12,000 crore annually as dark store networks continue to expand and quick commerce penetrates deeper into tier-2 and tier-3 cities.</p>

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], March </strong><span><strong>03:</strong> In</span> its landmark 30th year of nation-building through agricultural mechanisation, Sonalika Tractors has added a new golden chapter to its journey by recording its highest-ever February overall sales of 12,890 tractors in FY’26. The new historic performance is a powerful affirmation of its robust execution at scale and embodiment of Sonalika’s core belief of delivering ‘Jeetne Ka Dum’ – an inherent strength promising a vibrant future for farmers. As precision farming and advanced agri-technologies gain ground across regions, Sonalika continues to combine product innovation with deep farmer engagement and agile market outreach to stay ahead of the curve.</p>
<p>India’s agricultural ecosystem is witnessing a defining phase with strong policy support, accelerated mechanisation through digital initiatives, improved credit accessibility as well as enhanced rural infrastructure spending aimed at increasing farm productivity and income. Sonalika has consistently pushed global engineering excellence by developing future ready tractors such as the recently launched Sonalika Gold series that is aligned with grassroots agricultural realities, ensuring future security like gold and long-term value creation for farmers. Sonalika believes mechanisation is more than a necessity for sustainable farming and remains aligned, agile, and ambitious to further strengthen its role as a long-term growth partner to the Indian farmer.</p>
<p>Sharing his thoughts on the new record performance<strong>, Mr Raman Mittal, Joint Managing Director, International Tractors Limited,</strong> said “The real ‘Jeetne ka Dum’ has always belonged to farmers who rise every day to cultivate progress in their fields. We take it as our responsibility to engineer heavy duty tractors that amplify farmer’s ambitions and determination to succeed in life. Clocking our record February performance of 12,890 overall tractor sales in this special 30th year milestone is indeed special for us and reinforces the brand’s position as a growth catalyst for India’s agricultural transformation. This landmark year also renews our responsibility to transform farmer’s potential into measurable progress and accelerate India’s growth story to strengthen rural prosperity.”</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-03T142647.770.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Meet top 10 Brands Transforming Industries and Setting New Benchmarks in 2026-PNN"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], March 03:</strong> As industries accelerate toward innovation and digital transformation, certain brands rise above the noise to become true game-changers. These 10 pioneering brands across technology, marketing, finance, wellness, real estate, and media are not just participating in the market—they are redefining it. Through bold strategies, customer-centric innovation, and future-ready leadership, they are transforming traditional models, setting new performance benchmarks, and shaping the business landscape of 2026.</p>
<p><strong>1. Mitti Ke Mahanayak: Sunil Sushila Sharma’s Mission for Soil, Sustainability & Farmers</strong></p>
<p>In India’s evolving agricultural and environmental landscape, Mitti Ke Mahanayak has emerged as a powerful platform for change under the leadership of Sunil Sushila Sharma, a distinguished Agro & Environment Journalist committed to purpose-driven communication. More than just a media initiative, the series is a nationwide awareness movement amplifying the voices of progressive farmers, rural innovators, and sustainability champions.</p>
<p>Having produced and hosted over 500 episodes, Sharma has consistently focused on natural farming, rural development, organic agriculture, water conservation, and environmental sustainability. His long-format dialogues and marathon talk shows have been recognized by the Asia Book of Records and India Book of Records, highlighting his dedication to impactful storytelling.</p>
<p>Before entering journalism, Sharma built a successful corporate career with leading financial institutions like Citibank and Kotak Mahindra Bank. Despite high-profile roles, he chose to dedicate his life to empowering farmers and advocating soil health. His efforts have earned accolades such as the Journalist of the Year Award and honours from the Pink City Press Club, Rajasthan.</p>
<p>Now preparing for a Guinness World Record attempt, Sunil Sushila Sharma continues to champion the mission: Save Environment, Save Soil, Save Water, Save Farmers — turning journalism into a responsibility toward the planet and future generations.</p>
<p><strong>2. KP5® – Redefining Quality in India’s Light Commercial Vehicle Spare Parts Industry</strong></p>
<p>In a market where light commercial vehicles power India’s logistics backbone, the demand for dependable, high-performance spare parts has never been greater. KP5® has emerged as a brand to watch, raising quality benchmarks in a traditionally fragmented aftermarket landscape.</p>
<p>Under the leadership of Kapil Thukral, the company sharpened its focus on delivering OEM-grade excellence at scale, building a robust portfolio of over 5,000 precision-engineered spare parts for light commercial vehicles. Each component undergoes disciplined quality control, durability validation, and real-world testing, strengthened by continuous feedback from retailers and mechanics who rely on performance, not promises.</p>
<p>What sets KP5® apart is its structured, system-driven approach in an otherwise unorganized sector. Through mechanic incentive programs, strong retail partnerships, expanding export outreach, and a steadily growing nationwide distribution network, the company is building more than volume, it is building long-term confidence across the value chain.</p>
<p>As the industry advances toward greater transparency and operational accountability, <a href="https://www.kp5autoparts.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KP5®</a> is not simply keeping pace, it is helping define the new standard.

<p><strong><a name="docs-internal-guid-88125edb-7fff-38d9-4b"></a>3. BharatNyay.ai and the Role of Artificial Intelligence in Indian Legal Practice</strong></p>
<p><a name="docs-internal-guid-86237a44-7fff-ec38-f2"></a>The Indian legal system deals with a large and constantly growing number of court judgements, orders, and laws. Courts across the country publish decisions regularly. For lawyers, the difficulty is not just finding information but identifying the correct case law, understanding it properly, and applying it to their matter. In this situation, artificial intelligence-based legal research tools are becoming increasingly important in supporting legal work.</p>
<p><a name="docs-internal-guid-c9fa0b04-7fff-20aa-3e"></a>BharatNyay.ai is designed to help users navigate Indian case law and statutory materials in a more organised way. It provides a searchable environment where judgements from different courts can be accessed and reviewed. This helps advocates locate relevant precedents, study judicial reasoning, and understand how specific legal provisions have been interpreted.</p>
<p><a name="docs-internal-guid-cc6a0cfa-7fff-7725-10"></a>The platform also includes tools that assist with document review and drafting. Users can review drafts, generate summaries, extract key clauses, and maintain structured case records. Access to Supreme Court and High Court judgements, along with statutory provisions, supports more informed preparation of legal submissions.</p>
<p><a name="docs-internal-guid-c8d9277e-7fff-9288-4e"></a>It is important to note that artificial intelligence does not replace a lawyer’s judgement or legal reasoning. Legal interpretation, strategy, and courtroom advocacy remain the responsibility of the advocate. Technology in this context acts only as a support tool. When used carefully, such systems can help legal professionals work more efficiently and stay better organised within India’s complex judicial framework.</p>

        <title>KLIP Launches as a ‘Snackable Netflix for Bharat’ for India’s Mobile&amp;First Viewers</title>

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/klip-launches-as-a-snackable-netflix-for-bharat-for-indias-mobile-first-viewers</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-03T142204.740.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="KLIP-PNN"></p><p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 03:</strong> KLIP has entered India’s digital entertainment space with the launch of a micro-drama platform built for mobile-first audiences across the country. The platform is positioning itself as a snackable entertainment app aimed at viewers who increasingly engage with stories in short, intentional viewing moments rather than extended sessions.</p>
<p>The launch is rooted in the company’s attempt to bridge a widening gap in digital viewing behaviour, between the chaos of unstructured, unintentional short-form content binging and the commitment required by long-form OTT series. While short-video platforms encourage endless scrolling without narrative payoff, traditional streaming formats often demand sustained time and attention, leaving many viewers caught between the two extremes.</p>
<p><a href="https://klip.digital/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KLIP</a> is seeking to address this shift through episodic fiction designed specifically for mobile viewing. Its shows are structured as two-minute episodes with clear narrative progression, offering continuity and emotional engagement without requiring long viewing commitments. The format is intended to retain the discipline of serialised storytelling while adapting to fragmented consumption patterns.</p>
<p>The platform’s approach is shaped by its founders’ background in long-form storytelling rather than technology-led distribution. KLIP has been founded by Bollywood producer-actor Harman Baweja and filmmaker Vicky Bahri, along with Dev Gupta, who leads marketing and growth. The company positions itself as a content-first platform, with an emphasis on narrative structure, scripting and production discipline, an approach it argues is often missing in volume-driven short-form ecosystems.</p>
<p>“Storytelling works best when it aligns with how people actually live and consume content today,” said Vicky Bahri, founder and CEO of KLIP. “Audiences still want characters and stories they can invest in, but the format has to respect their time. That balance is what we are building at KLIP.”</p>
<p>Accessibility remains central to the platform’s positioning. Dev Gupta describes KLIP as “Premium quality drama, priced like your daily chai”, combining production values typically associated with premium drama and formats designed for a wider, mass-market audience.</p>
<p>By focusing on short episodic storytelling, mobile-native design and mass accessibility, KLIP is positioning itself as a Bharat-first alternative within India’s expanding digital entertainment landscape. As viewing behaviour continues to fragment, platforms that balance narrative intent with convenience may play an increasingly important role in shaping how Indian audiences consume stories on their phones.</p>

<p>One of the most engaging segments of the evening featured alumni from IISc, IISERs and NISER who returned to share their academic journeys.</p>
<p>Rather than delivering conventional motivational speeches, the alumni offered candid insights into preparation strategies, campus transitions, research challenges and the realities of scientific training. Their conversations resonated strongly with aspirants currently navigating competitive examinations.</p>
<p>The interactive session humanised the research pathway, presenting it not as an unreachable dream but as a disciplined and achievable pursuit.</p>

<p>The discussion emphasised that science must be engaging and relatable, encouraging researchers to actively communicate their work to wider audiences and strengthen scientific literacy nationwide.</p>
<p><strong>A Holistic Vision for Science Education</strong></p>
<p>The event also addressed parent-student dynamics in high-pressure academic environments, underlining the importance of mental well-being alongside performance.</p>
<p>The felicitation of successful students by senior scientists symbolised continuity within India’s scientific tradition, recognising not only academic achievement but perseverance and curiosity.</p>
<p><strong>Looking Ahead            </strong></p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-03T141822.520.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="2026 GST-revenue-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p data-start="468" data-end="656"><em>When an economy is wobbling, tax numbers panic first. February’s GST data didn’t. At ₹1.83 lakh crore, it delivered a calm, unexciting message that matters more than hype: stability.</em></p>
<p data-start="468" data-end="656"><strong>New Delhi [India], March 03: </strong>February’s<a href="https://tutorial.gst.gov.in/downloads/news/final_approved_monthly_gst_data_for_website_feb_2026_01032026.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> GST</a> collection of ₹1.83 lakh crore sends a clear, unambiguous signal. Economic activity remained steady, compliance stayed intact, and demand continued without disruption, reinforcing a pattern of stability rather than volatility</p>
<h2 data-section-id="168n447" data-start="334" data-end="377">Why February 2026 GST Collections Matter</h2>
<p data-start="379" data-end="642">India’s Goods and Services Tax (GST) collections reached ₹1.83 lakh crore in February 2026, an 8.1 percent year-on-year increase. This outcome signals steady domestic demand, sustained compliance, and continued formalization of economic activity.</p>
<p data-start="644" data-end="813">The figure matters not because it is unusually high, but because it is consistent. In a period where volatility would be the larger risk, GST collections show stability.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="rrijmn" data-start="815" data-end="852">What the February 2026 data shows</h3>
<p data-start="854" data-end="1098">Gross GST revenue stood at ₹1.83 lakh crore in February 2026. This represents an 8.1 percent increase compared to February 2025, according to official and industry-tracked data. After refunds, net GST revenue was approximately ₹1.61 lakh crore.</p>
<p data-start="1100" data-end="1334">This increase did not rely on a single revenue stream. Collections were distributed across Central GST (CGST), State GST (SGST), and Integrated GST (IGST), indicating broad-based participation rather than concentration in one segment.</p>
<p data-start="1336" data-end="1514">The composition matters. Balanced collections suggest that economic activity is spread across states, sectors, and transaction types, rather than being driven by a narrow source.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="1d35uuu" data-start="1516" data-end="1557">Domestic demand as the primary driver</h3>
<p data-start="1559" data-end="1641">The main contributor to February’s GST performance was domestic economic activity.</p>
<p data-start="1643" data-end="1897">Manufacturing output, service-sector billing, and consumer transactions continued at a stable pace. These activities directly generate GST through invoicing, making collections a practical indicator of on-ground transactions rather than projected output.</p>
<p data-start="1899" data-end="2163">Sequentially, collections increased from January 2026. This matters because it indicates continuity in demand rather than a short-lived rebound. Economies with stable consumption patterns tend to generate predictable tax revenues, which reduces fiscal uncertainty.</p>
<p data-start="2165" data-end="2294">In simple terms, households and firms continued to spend and transact at similar or higher levels compared to the previous month.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="a8l1h3" data-start="2296" data-end="2334">Role of imports in GST collections</h3>
<p data-start="2336" data-end="2397">Import-related GST also contributed meaningfully in February.</p>
<p data-start="2399" data-end="2619">Goods imported into India are subject to integrated GST at the point of entry. Higher collections from this source usually reflect two conditions: active trade flows and domestic absorption of imported inputs or finished goods.</p>
<p data-start="2621" data-end="2820">Many imports feed into manufacturing, infrastructure, and service delivery. When import GST rises alongside domestic collections, it suggests that production cycles remain active rather than stalled.</p>
<p data-start="2822" data-end="2949">This does not indicate import dependence. It indicates participation in global supply chains while maintaining domestic demand.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="199e08i" data-start="2951" data-end="2992">Net collections and refund processing</h3>
<p data-start="2994" data-end="3058">Net GST collections, after refunds, stood near ₹1.61 lakh crore.</p>
<p data-start="3060" data-end="3302">This figure is important because it reflects the actual fiscal inflow available after legitimate refunds to exporters and businesses. A healthy net figure indicates that refunds are being processed without disrupting overall revenue strength.</p>
<p data-start="3304" data-end="3496">Efficient refund processing improves liquidity for firms, particularly exporters, while preserving the credibility of the tax system. February’s data suggests that this balance remains intact.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="1c0qwck" data-start="3498" data-end="3523">The FY26 trend so far</h3>
<p data-start="3525" data-end="3618">From April 2025 to February 2026, cumulative gross GST collections crossed ₹20.27 lakh crore.</p>
<p data-start="3620" data-end="3764">This cumulative figure reflects scale and persistence rather than episodic spikes. Month-on-month consistency indicates three structural trends:</p>
<p data-start="3766" data-end="4024">First, tax compliance has widened, supported by digital invoicing and reporting systems.<br data-start="3854" data-end="3857">Second, the formal sector continues to expand relative to informal activity.<br data-start="3933" data-end="3936">Third, revenue volatility has reduced compared to the early years of GST implementation.</p>
<p data-start="4026" data-end="4127">None of these trends depend on a single policy change. They reflect gradual institutional maturation.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="n4n10w" data-start="4129" data-end="4168">What the data does and does not say</h3>
<p data-start="4170" data-end="4383">The February GST number shows that economic activity remains stable across manufacturing, services, consumption, and trade. It supports the view that the economy is operating without major demand-side disruptions.</p>
<p data-start="4385" data-end="4598">However, the data does not, by itself, predict future growth rates or fiscal outcomes. GST collections measure transactions, not profitability or investment intent. They are a coincident indicator, not a forecast.</p>
<p data-start="4600" data-end="4684">That distinction matters. Overinterpreting a single data point can mislead analysis.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="1wl7rsc" data-start="4686" data-end="4730">Why this matters for economic assessment</h3>
<p data-start="4732" data-end="4824">For economists and analysts, February’s GST data provides confirmation rather than surprise.</p>
<p data-start="4826" data-end="5090">Stable revenue growth supports predictable fiscal planning. It reduces pressure from revenue shortfalls and improves the reliability of monthly budget execution. For businesses, it signals a functioning transaction environment with manageable compliance processes.</p>
<p data-start="5092" data-end="5239">Most importantly, the data reinforces a pattern rather than contradicting it. Economic assessment relies more on patterns than on isolated numbers.</p>
<p data-start="5241" data-end="5278">February 2026 fits into that pattern.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 02: </strong>“The abrupt and unexpected reduction in the RoDTEP rates and the notified value caps for all HS lines by 50% has come as a big surprise and a huge shock for the exporters,” said Shaleen Toshniwal, Chairman of MATEXIL (Manmade and Technical Textiles Export Promotion Council).</p>
<p dir="ltr">The DGFT (Directorate General of Foreign Trade) has reduced RoDTEP rates and the notified value caps for all HS lines by 50% vide Notification No. 60/2025-26 dated February 23, 2026.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“The implementation of this notification with immediate effect will have an adverse impact on exports of manmade fibre textiles and technical textiles, as it will significantly affect their competitiveness,” said  Shri Toshniwal .</p>
<p dir="ltr">The RoDTEP (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products) scheme was introduced with the objective of neutralizing embedded central, state, and local taxes and levies—including prior-stage cumulative indirect taxes on goods and services used in the production and distribution of exported products—that are not otherwise refunded or credited and remain embedded in export goods.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“At a crucial juncture, when exporters are passing through unprecedented challenges, turbulence &  uncertainty in global markets and are finding it difficult to sustain operations, this reduction has further aggravated their problems,” the MATEXIL Chairman added.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Shri Toshniwal further pointed out that the RoDTEP Committee constituted by the Government is presently reviewing the existing RoDTEP rates and  while this review exercise is underway, the unexpected reduction has caused serious concern and uncertainty among exporters of manmade fibre textiles and technical textiles.</p>
<p dir="ltr">He urged the Government to reinstate the original RoDTEP rates and value caps and continue with the same until the revised rates are formally notified.</p>

The film marks a new creative chapter for Omguru, who is 80 per cent physically disabled and widely recognised for his work across cinema, spirituality, and social inclusion.</p>
<p>Produced under the banner of Omguru Films, Mind Game sees Omguru step in front of the camera after having previously scripted and directed two award-winning films, Gaamdhani and Vardan Ke Shrap. With this latest project, he adds acting to a diverse creative portfolio that includes direction and screenwriting. He is also the founder of the Ahmedabad International Film Festival (AIFF), which provides a platform for both established and emerging voices in cinema.</p>
<p>Despite significant physical challenges, Omguru has continued to pursue his artistic vision with determination, inspiring audiences and followers across India and internationally. Mind Game has been submitted to leading international film festivals, and early industry feedback has been encouraging.</p>
<p>Speaking about his acting debut, Omguru said, “Whether it is writing, directing or now acting, my purpose remains the same. I want to send a clear message that physical disability does not define one’s potential. People with disabilities do not need sympathy, but need encouragement, opportunity and a platform to show their talent. Films, with their wide reach and emotional connect, are a powerful medium to drive that change.”</p>
<p>The film comes at a time when preparations are also under way for the 17th edition of the Ahmedabad International Film Festival. The upcoming edition has already witnessed strong interest with 4,700 entries till February 2026 and continuing to arrive from across the world ahead of the August deadline. AIFF 2026 is expected to further strengthen its reputation as a people-centric, culturally rooted and globally relevant celebration of cinema.</p> ]]></description>

<div class="row">
<div class="prose dark:prose-invert inline leading-relaxed break-words min-w-0 [word-break:break-word] prose-strong:font-bold [&_>*:first-child]:mt-0 [&_>*:last-child]:mb-0">
<p class="my-2 [&+p]:mt-4 [&_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2"><strong>Bhubaneswar (Odisha) [India], March 02:</strong> Empowerment is most meaningful when it begins at the grassroots, with access to education, confidence-building, and the opportunity to build a career close to home. In Lanjigarh, Vedanta Aluminium has been working to strengthen local communities by investing in education and creating employment opportunities close to home. By building access to quality schooling and opening pathways into skilled industrial roles, the company is enabling young women from the region to step into careers once considered out of reach.</p>
<p class="my-2 [&+p]:mt-4 [&_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2">Priyanka Mahakhud’s journey is one such example. Born and raised in Lanjigarh, Priyanka studied at Vedanta DAV International School, the first English-medium school in the area, from UKG to Class 12. At a time when structured English-medium education was limited locally, the school became a gateway to broader academic exposure and personal growth.</p>
<p class="my-2 [&+p]:mt-4 [&_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2">Over the years, the institution has expanded significantly in infrastructure and student strength, becoming a pillar of quality education for families in the region. For Priyanka, it laid the foundation not only for higher studies but also for professional ambition. She became the first in her family to study in an English-medium school, reinforcing the importance of education within her household. Today, her sister is pursuing law in Cuttack, and her brother is studying engineering in Bhubaneswar.</p>
<p class="my-2 [&+p]:mt-4 [&_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2">After completing her B.Sc. (Hons.) in Zoology from Maharishi College of Natural Law, Bhubaneswar, Priyanka continued her academic journey and is currently pursuing post-graduation in Biotechnology through distance learning — balancing studies alongside a demanding technical role.</p>
<p class="my-2 [&+p]:mt-4 [&_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2">She now works in one of the most critical areas of Vedanta’s Alumina Refinery, the Distributed Control System (DCS), widely regarded as the nerve centre of plant operations. As a Control Room Operator, Priyanka continuously monitors vital process parameters such as temperature, pressure, flow, and levels through real-time digital systems. She acknowledges alarms, works to maintain zero overflow and zero trip conditions, and takes preventive and corrective action before deviations escalate. The role requires precision, analytical thinking, quick decision-making, and close coordination with field operators and process controllers, especially during start-ups, shutdowns, and emergency situations.</p>
<p class="my-2 [&+p]:mt-4 [&_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2">Her presence in a core production control room reflects a quiet but significant shift. In a sector traditionally dominated by men, more women from local communities are stepping into high-responsibility operational roles, backed by education, training, and opportunity.</p>
<p class="my-2 [&+p]:mt-4 [&_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2">Stories like Priyanka’s underline how sustained investment in schooling and skill development can translate into meaningful careers within the same ecosystem. From a student in Lanjigarh’s first English-medium school to operating the refinery’s central control systems, her journey demonstrates how opportunity, when created locally, can empower women to contribute directly to industrial growth and community progress.</p>
<p class="my-2 [&+p]:mt-4 [&_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2">Through sustained focus on education and inclusive employment, Vedanta Aluminium is helping ensure that young women in Lanjigarh do not just dream of opportunity; they are equipped to lead it.</p>
<p class="my-2 [&+p]:mt-4 [&_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2"><strong>About Vedanta Aluminium Business:</strong><br>
Vedanta Aluminium, a business of Vedanta Limited, is India’s largest producer of aluminium, manufacturing more than half of India’s aluminium, i.e., 2.42 million tonnes in FY25.

Clean chapters. Clean transitions.</p>
<p>The real shift happened elsewhere. Inside homes. In garages. In clinics that were never meant to exist.</p>
<p>Indian women did not “enter” entrepreneurship. They carved space in economies that were not designed for them.</p>
<p>This article traces that evolution across roughly a century, from the early 1900s to the end of the last completed decade. It stops there deliberately. The current decade is still unfolding, and while its momentum is visible, structural outcomes take time to mature. Sustainable shifts in capital, policy, and power can only be evaluated in hindsight.</p>

<h3><cite>The evolution of Indian women entrepreneurs spans over a century — from the Swadeshi Movement in the early 1900s to digital startups and venture capital leadership by 2015. Over this period, women moved from informal economic participation to industrial ownership, global leadership, and capital allocation influence within India’s startup ecosystem.</cite></h3>
</blockquote>
<h2>The Era of Resistance: 1900–1950</h2>
<p>The first incubation lab was political.</p>
<p>The Swadeshi Movement turned domestic labor into economic defiance. Boycotting British textiles was not symbolic. It redirected production into households. The charkha was not nostalgia; it was distributed manufacturing before the term existed.</p>
<p>Women who had no access to formal capital converted domestic skills into economic leverage. Profit was secondary. Autonomy was primary.</p>
<p>Then came professional breach.</p>
<p>Kadambini Ganguly walked through male-only institutional gates and established a private practice in Calcutta. She did not frame it as empowerment. She identified unmet demand — gynecological care in a gender-segregated society — and converted expertise into revenue. That is entrepreneurship stripped of decoration.</p>
<p>Resistance created the first blueprint: identify structural exclusion, monetize the gap.</p>
<h2>The Industrial Climb: 1960s–1980s</h2>
<p>Post-independence India tightened control. The License-Permit-Quota Raj suffocated agility. For women, credit access was gated by male guarantors and institutional bias.</p>
<p>And yet.</p>
<p>In 1978, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw founded Biocon in a rented garage. Banks saw risk. She saw fermentation science and export potential. Joint ventures became tactical instruments to navigate FDI ceilings. Seventy percent Indian ownership was not ideological. It was structural maneuvering.</p>
<p>High-barrier sectors were not supposed to be penetrated by women. Biotechnology did not receive that memo.</p>
<p>Parallel to heavy industry, consumer sectors professionalized. Simone Tata built <a href="https://www.lakmeindia.com/?srsltid=AfmBOopkGe4bTNL-Hri9EZBfz0DRXD90GqPJp0BwrNW9G78-9D3L_Buf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Lakmé</a> into a national cosmetics force. Shahnaz Husain exported Ayurveda before global wellness made it fashionable. Vandana Luthra formalized wellness into VLCC in 1989, persuading a skeptical medical ecosystem that aesthetics could be systematized.</p>
<p>The constraint was capital. The response was structural creativity.</p>
<h2>The Liberalization Paradox: 1991–2005</h2>
<p>In 1991, markets opened. Doors widened. Not evenly.</p>
<p>Factories Act — specifically Section 66 — restricted women from night shifts in factories. Operational inflexibility meant employers optimized for male labor in 24-hour cycles. Liberalization expanded output. It did not automatically expand access.</p>
<p>The hours-constraint quietly redirected female ambition toward media, services, and IT.</p>
<p>Ekta Kapoor launched Balaji Telefilms in 1994 and industrialized television storytelling. Serial production became scalable IP manufacturing.</p>
<p>At the global end, Indra Nooyi’s ascent within <a href="https://www.pepsico.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">PepsiCo</a> and eventually becoming CEO in 2006 functioned as a signal flare. Not symbolic. Structural. An Indian woman controlling a multinational balance sheet recalibrated ambition thresholds.</p>
<p>By the mid-2000s, the Sixth Economic Census recorded roughly 14% of enterprises as women-run. The percentage was modest. The complexity was not. Scale had shifted. Sector composition had shifted. Confidence had shifted.</p>
<h2>The Digital Equalizer: 2005–2015</h2>
<p>E-commerce did what regulation could not. It bypassed gatekeepers.</p>
<p>Retail shelf space, distributor networks, and male-dominated trade associations — irrelevant if logistics and payment rails function.</p>
<p>Falguni Nayar launched Nykaa in 2012 at fifty. Inventory-led. Margin-controlled. No marketplace dilution. It ended in a public listing that forced the market to accept late-career entrepreneurship as serious capital formation.</p>
<p>Richa Kar built Zivame by digitizing a category constrained by social discomfort. Privacy became a conversion strategy.</p>
<p>Upasana Taku co-founded MobiKwik before UPI normalized digital payments. Fintech was not a “female-friendly” sector. That assumption dissolved.</p>
<p>The digital bazaar removed geography and social friction simultaneously. That mattered more than policy language.</p>
<h2>The New Frontier: Capital Allocators (Up to the Last Decade)</h2>
<p>Ownership is one level. Allocation is another.</p>
<p>For years, venture capital in India was structurally male. As late as 2008, female leadership across top VC firms was statistically negligible.</p>
<p>By the end of the last decade, the shift had become measurable.</p>
<p>Vani Kola at Kalaari Capital and Renuka Ramnath at Multiples Private Equity controlled capital pools measured in billions. They were not “women investors.” They were allocators influencing cap tables across sectors, including companies like Flipkart.</p>
<p>This marked the structural pivot of the first full century: moving from applicant to approver. From pitch deck to term sheet.</p>
<p>Capital allocation shapes ecosystems. Networks that include female partners tend to widen opportunity pipelines. Influence compounds differently than participation.</p>
<h2>Why This Narrative Stops at the Last Decade</h2>
<p>The current decade has already produced headline-grabbing funding rounds, rapid digital penetration, policy shifts, and increased visibility for women founders. However, early momentum is not the same as structural permanence.</p>
<p>Ecosystems require time to test resilience through market cycles, regulatory changes, global recessions, and liquidity contractions. Many of the celebrated gains of this decade are still in their expansion phase. Their durability — in profitability, governance maturity, generational wealth transfer, and institutional representation — can only be assessed with distance.</p>
<p>History is clearest in the rear-view mirror. The last completed decade provides enough data to analyze scale, capital access, and institutional influence. The present decade is still writing its balance sheet.</p>
<h2>A Note on the Present Decade</h2>
<p>What is visible today is acceleration. Greater access to digital infrastructure, improved formal credit inclusion, expanding angel networks, policy conversations around women-led enterprises, and a cultural normalization of female founders across sectors — from deep tech to climate, from manufacturing to fintech.</p>
<p>Yet this phase remains transitional. The true measure will not be unicorn counts or funding spikes, but whether women control larger portions of institutional capital, board representation, secondary wealth cycles, and intergenerational enterprise ownership.</p>
<p>The century-long arc — from resistance to allocation — is undeniable. The next chapter is underway.</p>
<p>It is simply too early to close the book on it.</p>

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/hafele-strengthens-make-in-india-commitment-with-new-local-production-setup</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Hafele Strengthens “Make in India” Commitment with New Local Production Setup-PNN"></p><p><em>Beginning of Manufacturing in India, built to scale with a larger vision ahead</em></p>
<p><span><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 02:</strong> </span>Hafele announced the commencement of operations at its new local production setup in Maharashtra, India, marking a significant milestone in the company’s long-term localisation strategy and reinforcing its commitment to the Government of India’s “Make in India” initiative. This development represents a strategic step toward building a future-ready manufacturing ecosystem in the country, enabling local value creation while laying the groundwork for scalable operations.</p>
<p>Hafele’s global manufacturing and supply chain network already includes production facilities across Europe, forming a strong foundation of manufacturing excellence. The India production initiative builds on this established base, extending the company’s capabilities into one of its most strategically important growth markets.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-102275" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN.jpg" alt="Hafele Strengthens “Make in India” Commitment with New Local Production Setup-PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p>In its initial phase, Hafele has commenced production with the MatrixBox Premium+ range of drawer systems—a solution designed to enhance functionality and durability in modern kitchens. Engineered for smooth soft-close and noiseless performance, the system supports heavy-duty usage and offers extensive design versatility through multiple premium finishes and customisable add-ons. This milestone marks the beginning of Hafele’s manufacturing strategy in India, with the setup created to enable the phased addition of further products and categories over time, aligned with market needs and long-term localisation plans.</p>
<p>This initial production site enables an early start to local manufacturing while Hafele simultaneously develops its larger-scale manufacturing hub to support future growth and expanded operations in India.</p>
<p>The initiative has been conceived as a strategic enabler within Hafele’s broader localisation roadmap. It supports early capability building, workforce training, process validation, and supply-chain stabilisation—while enabling more agile and efficient operations aligned with evolving market needs.</p>
<p>As part of strengthening its local manufacturing ecosystem, Hafele has expanded its Service+Customised capabilities in India. The company now produces bespoke aluminium profiled cabinet fronts at its dedicated set-up in Mumbai. These customised aluminium fronts are pre-assembled and pre-drilled to ensure precision, consistent quality, and efficient installation across kitchen, wardrobe, and furniture applications. By bringing this capability in-house, Hafele enhances design flexibility, improves lead times, and creates greater value for its channel partners—further advancing its long-term localisation strategy.</p>
<p>Sharing a global perspective, <strong>Michael Distl, Chief Financial Officer, Hafele Group,</strong> stated: “<em>Strengthening our global production network requires strategic investments in key growth markets like India. This initiative enables early process validation, enhances financial efficiency, and builds organisational readiness, while ensuring that governance, quality, and compliance standards remain fully aligned with Hafele’s global benchmarks.”</em></p>
<p>Highlighting operational significance, <strong>Boris Katic, Chief Operating Officer, Hafele Group,</strong> added:<em> “Building strong manufacturing capabilities begins with people, finding the right processes and supply chains. This initiative is part of our broader vision to decentralise global supply chains by creating strategic sourcing and production hubs in key regions, thereby strengthening our position as a manufacturing-driven organisation and extending our production footprint closer to the markets we serve. In this context, India is poised to play a pivotal role, not only serving domestic demand, but also evolving into a hub that supports global markets in the years ahead.”</em></p>
<p>Commenting on the development, <strong>Frank Schloeder, Managing Director, Hafele South Asia,</strong> said: <em>“This marks a decisive step forward in our ‘Make in India’ strategy. It enables us to build manufacturing capabilities locally, nurture talent, and respond faster to the needs of the Indian market. India continues to be a strategic growth market for Hafele, and this milestone reinforces our long-term commitment to local value addition and operational excellence.”</em></p>
<p>The initiative supports Hafele’s long-term strategy of increasing localisation by lowering reliance on imports, strengthening supply-chain resilience, and enabling faster, more agile responses to the needs of the Indian and South Asian markets, while creating a strong base for scalable and sustainable manufacturing operations in the years ahead.</p>
<p>Established as a wholly owned subsidiary of Hafele Global network, Hafele India has been operating in India since 2003. An authority in the field of architectural hardware, furniture and kitchen fittings and accessories, the company also has a strong presence in synergized product categories like Home Appliances, Interior and Furniture Lighting, Sanitary Solutions, and Surfaces positioning itself as a complete solution provider for interior solutions in India and South Asia. Hafele India has a strong nation-wide presence through its offices and design showrooms spread across the country. The showrooms function as a one-stop-shop for all home interior and improvement needs – from providing in-depth technical advice to kitchen and wardrobe designing services through a team of experts.</p>

        <title>From Clinics to Corporates: How Voll Sante is Redefining India’s Wellness Economy</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/from-clinics-to-corporates-how-voll-sante-is-redefining-indias-wellness-economy</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/from-clinics-to-corporates-how-voll-sante-is-redefining-indias-wellness-economy</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-02T130803.785.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Voll Sante-PNn" decoding="async"></p><p dir="ltr"><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 02:</strong> India’s wellness economy is no longer being shaped inside clinics. It is being shaped inside office cabins, factory floors, and late-night work calls. The cost of India’s hustle culture is now showing up not just in burnout conversations, but in falling energy levels, early-onset deficiencies, and productivity losses that cannot be addressed through quick fixes. For companies, health has quietly become an economic variable.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For decades, the corporate world’s approach to wellness was reactive. Nutrition and supplements entered the picture only after a diagnosis, a prescription, or a visible health concern. Clinics have always been effective at treating illness, but they were never designed to address the depletion of essential nutrients, low energy levels, and mental stress caused by long working hours, chronic stress, and poor diet.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As work patterns became longer, faster, and more demanding, a clear gap emerged between being medically “healthy” and having the energy, focus, and stamina to function well at work. Traditional healthcare stepped in when people fell sick, but had little to offer for preventing this slow, ongoing decline in everyday performance and wellbeing.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Corporate wellness initiatives in the past did attempt to bridge this gap, but for many years their impact remained limited. Annual health check-ups, gym discounts, or motivational webinars looked good on paper but did little to change long term health outcomes. Employees continued to skip meals, sit for long hours, and rely on quick fixes. The result was a system that talked about wellbeing without actually improving it.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This is where the shift becomes disruptive rather than gradual. Organisations are now realising that preventive health cannot sit outside the workspace. It has to fit into it. Nutrition, especially, is emerging as a practical lever.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Functional foods and nutraceuticals are filling this gap because they operate between clinical care and lifestyle habits. They are structured enough to deliver measurable outcomes, yet simple enough to be used daily without medical supervision. This is the space where a new age company named, <a href="https://vollsante.com/?srsltid=AfmBOorNKgJ1A1kK1EEPVGb-HnQPaD3dwWHWMe9yBQQbuRek5M7jjvBc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Voll Sante</a> has positioned itself in, with a clear focus on “food as medicine” and formulation-led outcomes rather than generic supplementation.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Instead of broad, one-size-fits-all products, Voll Sante has launched plant-based products that are differentiated, unique, nutrient combinations, and offer better side effect profiles than conventional nutraceuticals which might contain constituents from unnatural sources. Voll Sante’s calcium supplementation, <a href="https://vollsante.com/products/calgal-xt-tablet-with-calcium-magnesium-zinc-vitamins-k27-d3-b6-b12?srsltid=AfmBOorkC48mZAsQxoXzYMM36POZpPi-lm9sZRywUc8VGYb5T6iKk_3W" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Calgal Plus</a>, for instance, is designed to address some of the most common drawbacks of conventional calcium supplements – low absorption and unnatural sources like rocks, bones and shells, thus making Calgal Plus a smarter choice for working professionals, women and elderly.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But plant-based Calcium supplement is only one part of their wider portfolio. Voll Sante has expanded into plant-based phyto-nutraceuticals, a differentiated protein range, oil-filled capsule portfolio, healthy millet-based snacks, and condition-specific formulations that align with metabolic health, bone strength, women’s wellness, and long-term nutritional balance. These categories reflect a deeper understanding of how modern lifestyles strain the body in multiple ways, not just one.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As corporate wellness matures, companies are moving away from symbolic initiatives toward solutions that employees can realistically follow. Products that require minimal behaviour change but deliver consistent nutritional support are seeing greater adoption. This has led to Voll Sante being integrated into employee wellbeing programmes, particularly where organisations are looking for credible, research-informed options rather than just wellness “add-ons.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">Another factor accelerating this shift is transparency. Today’s workforce is more informed and more sceptical. Employees want to know what they are consuming, how it works at a physiological level, and whether there is evidence behind the claim. Brands that communicate clearly – using the language of science without exaggeration – are building stronger trust with both individuals and employers.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The movement from clinics to corporates reflects a larger redefinition of health in India. Wellness is no longer viewed only as recovery from illness. It is being treated as an enabler of performance, focus, and resilience. For employers, this reframes health from a cost centre to a productivity metric. For employees, it integrates wellbeing into daily routines rather than post-crisis interventions.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As India’s wellness economy grows, the winners will be those who address real, everyday health gaps – absorption failures, nutritional fatigue, and lifestyle-driven deficiencies – without overcomplicating the solution. Voll Sante’s approach signals where the market is heading: clinically informed, easy to adopt, and built for the realities of modern work.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The message is becoming hard to ignore. Health is no longer confined to hospitals or annual reports. It is now embedded in how India works. And in this new reality, wellness is not a perk – it is part of economic performance.</p>
<p dir="ltr"></p> ]]></description>

        <title>The Kicks Machine Ecosystem: How One Website Is Dressing Gen Z from Head (Sunglasses) to Toe (Sneakers)</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-02T144937.768-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt=""></p><p dir="ltr"><strong>Dehradun (Uttarakhand) [India], March 02</strong>: Walk into a café near a college campus or a co-working space in any Indian city, and a subtle shift becomes noticeable. Young consumers are dressing with intention. Sneakers are worn, not preserved. Sunglasses are part of looks rather than protection. Details such as socks, watches, bags, and small accessories feel carefully considered. For India’s Gen Z, fashion is no longer about accumulating labels. It is about constructing identity in ways that feel authentic, modular, and adaptable to daily life.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This generation approaches style differently from those before it. Millennials often built wardrobes around brand loyalty, investing repeatedly in trusted names. Gen Z, by contrast, curates around mood and aesthetic. A single outfit today might combine limited-edition sneakers, niche streetwear, collectible accessories, and eyewear sourced from different corners of the internet. The coherence lies not in the logo, but in the story the pieces collectively tell. As a Bengaluru-based fashion retail analyst explains, “Gen Z doesn’t shop in silos. They don’t think in product categories. They think in looks. Retail that mirrors this psychology tends to win.”</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-102215" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-02T144957.134.jpg" alt="The Kicks Machine Ecosystem: How One Website Is Dressing Gen Z from Head (Sunglasses) to Toe (Sneakers) -PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<h2 dir="ltr">From Category Shopping to Identity Curation</h2>
<p dir="ltr">This behavioural shift has quietly reduced the dominance of standalone brand websites and increased the relevance of curated, multi-category marketplaces. Instead of focusing on selling one vertical exceptionally well, newer retail models aim to enable a complete aesthetic within a single digital environment. The logic is simple: if consumers assemble outfits holistically, shopping platforms must reflect that fluidity.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Industry data reinforces the scale of change. India’s sneaker market, valued at nearly USD 3.9 billion in FY24 by industry estimates, has moved from subculture to mainstream. Sneakers are no longer confined to gym wear or special occasions; they are everyday anchors. At the same time, rising demand has amplified concerns around authenticity and counterfeits, particularly in resale-influenced categories. A Mumbai-based e-commerce analyst notes, “Trust is everything in sneakers. Authentication and transparent sourcing are not optional. They are foundational.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">It is within this context that platforms such as Kicks Machine have evolved. What began as a sneaker-focused venture gradually expanded into adjacent categories, including streetwear, sunglasses, handbags, watches, beauty products, collectibles, and care accessories. According to the founders, this was less a calculated diversification and more a response to customer behaviour. “We followed our community,” says Aman Kandwal Co-founder Kicks Machine. “If someone buys sneakers, they are already thinking about the rest of the outfit. We wanted to support that full expression.”</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">When Luxury Became Wearable</h2>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.kicksmachine.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Luxury in India</a> was once geographically and psychologically distant, largely confined to premium malls and flagship stores in metro cities. It carried an element of ceremony and separation. Over the past few years, that distance has narrowed considerably. Today’s younger buyers prefer premium products that feel wearable rather than intimidating, refined rather than theatrical. Luxury is increasingly integrated into routine life rather than reserved for special moments.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Platforms that balance hype-driven products with daily essentials have benefited from this recalibration. Instead of positioning luxury as inaccessible, they frame it as adaptable and repeatable. Apoorv Kandwal describes this progression as organic rather than deliberate. “We didn’t start by deciding to sell <a href="https://www.kicksmachine.com/collections/beauty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">across categories</a>. We watched what our customers were already searching for. Sneakers were the entry point, and the rest of the wardrobe followed.”</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">The Power of Detail and Maintenance</h2>
<p dir="ltr">One of the more understated shifts in Gen Z dressing is the prominence of micro-decisions. Socks introduce contrast. Watches and small <a href="https://www.kicksmachine.com/collections/beauty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">collectibles</a> subtly signal individuality. The modern basket is rarely limited to one hero product. It is layered.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This detail-oriented mindset extends into maintenance. Sneaker care products such as cleaning wipes, crease protectors, and restoration tools have become regular purchases rather than niche add-ons. Ownership increasingly includes upkeep. As products transition from occasional use to daily rotation, maintenance becomes part of perceived value. Retail strategist Rhea Malhotra observes, “Young buyers are not overhauling wardrobes every season. They are refining them. That refinement naturally creates demand across complementary categories.”</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Beyond Traditional Luxury Geographies</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Another interesting dimension of this ecosystem evolution is geography. Luxury retail in India has historically been metro-centric, closely associated with Mumbai and Delhi. Yet digital commerce has flattened those boundaries. Kicks Machine operates from Dehradun, a Tier-2 city, and has grown from a two-person founding team into a 30-plus-member organisation. The company is reportedly targeting ₹100 crore in GMV by 2026 while remaining fully bootstrapped.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This decentralisation mirrors a broader shift in Indian entrepreneurship. Aspiration is no longer tied to pin codes. Digital infrastructure allows businesses outside traditional luxury hubs to participate in national and even global conversations. It also challenges longstanding assumptions about where premium commerce must originate.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Culture Before Commerce</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Discovery for Gen Z rarely begins on a homepage. It begins on social media platforms, in community discussions, and through visual cues. Retail brands that understand drop culture, global streetwear signals, and online-first engagement are more likely to resonate. As Kandwal puts it, “Commerce follows culture. If you are not part of the conversation, you remain just inventory.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">The larger implication is structural. Traditional e-commerce was organised around categories. Gen Z consumption is organised around aesthetics. Ecosystem marketplaces attempt to reduce friction in assembling a full look by allowing sneakers, apparel, accessories, and care tools to coexist within a single interface. This model reflects how outfits are built in real life, not how inventory is stored.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">The Bigger Picture</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Whether Kicks Machine ultimately becomes a defining platform in this shift remains to be seen. What is clear, however, is that the brands that succeed will not simply sell products, they will reduce friction in building a complete look. Companies that understand this coherence will shape the next chapter of youth fashion in India.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-02-03-26-2-2.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Prabhakar"></p><p><span><strong>New Delhi [India], March 02:</strong> </span>In an era where leadership is increasingly measured by impact rather than titles, <strong>Abhilash Prabhakar</strong> stands out as a purpose-driven entrepreneur who seamlessly integrates global business expertise with grassroots social transformation. Born on September 21, 1979, in Bangalore, India, his journey reflects a rare blend of operational discipline, ethical entrepreneurship, and sustained humanitarian commitment.</p>
<h2>Building a Strong Global Business Foundation</h2>
<p>Armed with a Master’s degree in Business from Harvard University (2003), Abhilash Prabhakar cultivated a strategic mindset that would later define his entrepreneurial trajectory. Early in his career, he founded Emperyan Holdings, which was strategically merged in 2012 to establish Emperyan Heaven Pte Ltd, a Singapore-based enterprise specializing in lubricants and petroleum products.</p>
<p>Operating across international markets, he built a reputation for service excellence, efficient supply chain management, and stakeholder accountability. His exposure to cross-border trade enhanced his understanding of compliance frameworks, operational scalability, and sustainable profitability.</p>
<p>Beyond the petroleum sector, Abhilash extended his expertise into India’s urban development landscape, contributing to public-private partnership models and urban sanitation initiatives. Across industries, his leadership philosophy remained consistent: long-term success is built on ethical governance, systemic efficiency, and measurable value creation.</p>
<h2>The Emperyan Trust: Structured Philanthropy with Measurable Impact</h2>
<p>While his corporate achievements are significant, Abhilash Prabhakar’s defining legacy lies in philanthropy. As the Managing Trustee of The Emperyan Trust, he applies corporate-grade accountability to social welfare initiatives.</p>
<p>Under his stewardship, the Trust focuses on:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Education Support Programs</strong> for underprivileged youth</li>
<li><strong>Healthcare Access Initiatives</strong>, including free medical camps and funding for life-saving surgeries</li>
<li><strong>Community Development Projects</strong> designed for sustainable impact</li>
<li><strong>Women’s Economic Empowerment Programs</strong> that promote financial independence and inclusive growth</li>
</ul>
<p>Unlike short-term charitable interventions, his approach emphasizes data-backed planning, long-term infrastructure building, and community ownership.</p>
<h2>A Leadership Philosophy Rooted in Balance and Discipline</h2>
<p>Abhilash Prabhakar exemplifies balanced leadership. Known for his hands-on involvement, he remains deeply engaged in both corporate and philanthropic operations. Yet, he also believes that personal growth fuels professional clarity.</p>
<p>Outside his demanding schedule, he finds grounding in reading, swimming, billiards, jet skiing, and travel—activities that reflect his appreciation for discipline, strategy, and exploration.</p>
<p>Based in India and married to advocate Geetha N, Abhilash continues to lead with quiet determination and ethical conviction.</p>
<h2>A Legacy Beyond Profit</h2>
<p>Abhilash Prabhakar represents a new model of modern entrepreneurship—where profitability and purpose coexist. His journey from global enterprise leadership to large-scale social empowerment demonstrates that true success is measured not only by financial milestones but by the lives uplifted along the way.</p>
<p>Through strategic philanthropy, ethical business governance, and community-first thinking, he continues to shape a legacy defined by empowerment, sustainability, and long-term societal transformation.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-1-3.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Tap Into India’s Urban Growth Story with CEPT’s Specialised MBA Programs-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>March 02</strong><strong>, 2026:</strong> CEPT University’s <a href="https://cept.ac.in/programs/faculty:fm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><strong>Faculty of Management</strong></a> has opened admissions for its specialised MBA programs designed exclusively for careers in the urban and built environment domain.</p>
<p>Unlike general management programs, CEPT’s MBA offerings are structured specifically around the governance, financing, planning, and execution of urban systems and real estate markets. The Faculty of Management at CEPT University is among a limited number of institutions in the country that offer programs dedicated exclusively to the management of cities and infrastructure.</p>
<p>As India’s real estate landscape continues to expand rapidly and urban systems grow in complexity, organisations across public, private, and development sectors are seeking professionals who combine analytical rigour with deep sectoral understanding.</p>
<p>Commenting on the distinctive positioning of the programs, <strong>Pranavant, Dean, Faculty of Management, CEPT University</strong>, said, “India’s urban and infrastructure expansion is not merely a growth story — it is a structural transformation. This transformation demands managers who understand the institutional, financial, spatial, and regulatory dynamics that shape cities and real estate markets. Our MBA programs are intentionally domain-focused. They combine managerial rigour with deep engagement in infrastructure systems, land economics, governance frameworks, and design intelligence. We are preparing professionals who can manage and lead service delivery outcomes, mobilise capital responsibly, and shape the long-term trajectory of India’s built environment.”</p>
<p>The Faculty of Management at CEPT University offers two specialised MBA programs:</p>
<p><strong>MBA in Urban Management: </strong>The MBA in Urban Management prepares professionals to manage the systems that enable cities to function — from water supply, transport networks, and housing to energy distribution and municipal services. These systems operate through intricate institutional and financial structures that require informed decision-making and cross-sector coordination.</p>
<p>The two-year program combines the analytical depth of a professional MBA with immersive studio-based engagements in real urban contexts. Students work closely with municipal corporations, infrastructure agencies, consulting firms, and development organisations. Through these studios, they design implementation strategies, structure financing models for infrastructure projects, apply digital tools for city-scale data management, and bridge policy frameworks with operational realities.</p>
<p>Graduates pursue careers with global consulting firms such as EY, KPMG, Deloitte and PwC, infrastructure and development companies, multilateral agencies, government-backed national missions, and advisory organisations shaping India’s urban future. The program offers both high-demand career pathways and long-term sectoral stability.</p>
<p><strong>MBA in Real Estate: </strong>The MBA in Real Estate is designed to prepare professional managers for organised real estate development, financing, and investment.</p>
<p>The program builds capabilities in capital markets, land and property economics, project structuring, sustainability, construction processes, and design differentiation. Drawing upon CEPT University’s interdisciplinary strengths in architecture, urban systems, construction technology, and building design, the program integrates managerial competence with spatial and strategic intelligence.</p>
<p>Graduates are equipped for leadership roles in real estate development firms, investment and private equity platforms, International Property Consultants (IPCs), infrastructure enterprises, and allied urban sectors. As institutional capital increasingly enters India’s property markets, the demand for professionally trained real estate managers continues to rise significantly.</p>
<p><strong>Admissions Open</strong></p>
<p>As India’s urban population grows and infrastructure investments accelerate, specialised managerial expertise is becoming central to sustainable and inclusive development. CEPT University’s Faculty of Management is committed to building a cadre of professionals capable of navigating the financial, technical, and institutional complexities of the urban economy.</p>

        <title>“Sometimes You Have to Leave Empty Spaces”: A Conversation with Ameet Shetye on His Instrumental Track The Zephyr</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-4.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="“Sometimes You Have to Leave Empty Spaces”: A Conversation with Ameet Shetye on His Instrumental Track The Zephyr-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], March 02: </strong>Composer and guitarist <strong>Ameet Shetye</strong>, whose earlier compositions have been sung by celebrated voices like Udit Narayan and Shankar Mahadevan, has taken a deeply personal turn with his latest instrumental release, <em>The Zephyr</em>. In this candid conversation, he reflects on the journey behind the piece and the emotion that shaped it.</p>
<h3><strong>Q: When you think back to the time you created <em>The Zephyr</em>, who were you emotionally in that phase of your life?</strong></h3>
<p>It began one fine December evening — Christmas Eve, to be precise. I came up with the intro riff on an electric guitar. At that time, it was just a feeling, just a phrase. Over the years, that tune slowly came into life and evolved into what you now hear in the solo guitar version. Emotionally, I was in a quiet, reflective space.</p>
<h3><strong>Q: There’s a quiet sensitivity in this track. Was there something you were feeling but not saying out loud?</strong></h3>
<p>As I started composing it further, I gradually imagined a misty morning. That imagery shaped the tune. Naturally, it became ethereal and open — almost like something ringing in your head. It wasn’t about saying something directly. It was about creating a feeling.</p>
<h3><strong>Q: The word <em>The Zephyr</em> suggests a soft breeze. Was the song meant to be gentle?</strong></h3>
<p>Yes — a gentle breeze. That’s exactly what it represents. The idea was softness, lightness, and subtle movement rather than intensity.</p>
<h3><strong>Q: Did you ever hesitate about releasing something so personal?</strong></h3>
<p>I make music that is quite personal anyway. There is no holding back. I create what I experience and feel — it’s always inside out.</p>
<h3><strong>Q: Was there a specific setting that inspired the full composition?</strong></h3>
<p>Once I discovered the riff, I imagined a situation that helped me build the piece further. The concept behind <em>The Zephyr</em> is very visual for me.</p>
<p>I see myself in a treehouse, wrapped in a misty morning breeze. Sunlight slowly leans in and gently wakes my muse from an eternal slumber. In that moment, time dissolves. Music finds me before I even reach for it.</p>
<p>That’s how the tune flowed.</p>
<h3><strong>Q: The track is just a single acoustic guitar. Why keep it so minimal?</strong></h3>
<p>The whole thing is raw. Usually, musicians add layers, instruments, arrangements — I’ve done that in the past too. I could have added synth pads or keys. But sometimes you just have to leave empty spaces. Just one acoustic guitar, yet it fills the sound spectrum on its own.</p>
<h3><strong>Q: Did creating <em>The Zephyr</em> change you as an artist?</strong></h3>
<p>Yes. It made me experiment with the concept of singularity. Earlier, I would compose for multiple instruments and build arrangements. Suddenly, it was just one guitar and a simple tune. That simplicity taught me something new.</p>
<h3><strong>Q: What do you hope listeners feel when they hear it alone, maybe with headphones on?</strong></h3>
<p>When I create an instrumental tune, it’s my journey. When someone listens to it, it becomes theirs. It might take them to a past memory, a journey, an intimate moment — the possibilities are limitless.</p>
<h3><strong>Q: Has anyone’s reaction stayed with you?</strong></h3>
<p>Yes. A friend once listened to it at sunrise and described exactly the same feeling I had imagined while composing it. That stayed with me.</p>
<h3><strong>Q: If <em>The Zephyr</em> were a chapter in your life story, what would it be called?</strong></h3>
<p>“You are all by yourself.”</p>
<p>With <em>The Zephyr</em>, Ameet Shetye returns to pure instrumental expression — not with grandeur, but with stillness. A gentle breeze, carried on six strings.</p>

<p><strong>During the period, the Company entered into strategic collaborations with:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Bawa Global Synergy Private Limited, Mohali, Punjab</li>
<li>Dharam Chand Dwarka Das Steels Private Limited, Kanpur</li>
<li>Vera Developers Private Limited, Zirakpur, Punjab</li>
<li>Passim Lifesciences Limited, Panchkula, Haryana</li>

</ul>
<p>These collaborations facilitate the implementation of the Company’s Early Wage Access (EWA) program for employees of the respective organizations.</p>
<p>Under this model, eligible employees can draw a portion of their earned salary during the pay cycle, addressing short-term liquidity needs without waiting for payday. The facility follows a structured, salary-linked advance mechanism, with repayments recovered through payroll deductions to ensure transparency and credit discipline.</p>
<p>The initiative aligns with Emerald Finance Limited’s strategy to scale employer-integrated financial solutions and strengthen its retail portfolio across sectors. The increasing adoption of EWA highlights its recognition as a responsible financial tool supporting employee well-being.</p>
<p>The Company remains focused on expanding its EWA platform across industries and geographies through technology-driven, customer-centric solutions.</p>
<p>Consequently, the Company has onboarded twelve employer partners in aggregate during February 2026.</p>
<p><strong>Commenting on the partnerships Mr. </strong><strong>Sanjay Aggarwal, </strong><strong>Managing Director of</strong> <strong>Emerald Finance</strong><strong> Limited</strong> <strong>said, </strong>“We are pleased with the strong momentum in February, marked by the onboarding of multiple employer partners across diverse sectors and regions. This reinforces the growing acceptance of our Earned Wage Access platform as a responsible financial solution for salaried employees.</p>
<p>Our Early Wage Access facility enables timely access to earned income, helping employees manage short-term financial needs without affecting the regular payroll cycle. Through a structured, salary-linked repayment mechanism, we ensure a seamless experience while maintaining prudent credit discipline.</p>
<p>Going forward, we see EWA as a scalable growth opportunity. We aim to expand across industries, strengthen technology-led efficiencies, and build a stable fee-based revenue stream aligned with our long-term retail-focused strategy.”</p>

        <title>How Nesamani Maran Muthu Balances Legacy and Innovation at MGM Group</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="How Nesamani Maran Muthu Balances Legacy and Innovation at MGM Group-PNN" decoding="async"></p><div class="col-12 col-lg-12 col-xl-12 ">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12 col-sm-7 col-lg-7"><span data-sheets-root="1"><strong>New Delhi [India], March 02:</strong> </span>The story of Nesamani Maran Muthu & MGM Group is, at its core, a story about continuity. It is about how a second-generation leader carries forward a powerful entrepreneurial legacy while reshaping it for a rapidly changing global economy. From its beginnings in the 1960s as a logistics venture founded by the late M.G. Muthu, MGM Group has grown into a diversified multinational presence spanning hospitality, logistics, agriculture, and entertainment. Today, as Vice Chairman, Nesamani Maran Muthu stands at the intersection of heritage and transformation.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-12 col-lg-12 col-xl-12 ">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12 col-sm-7 col-lg-7">
<p>“We are custodians of a legacy built on trust and resilience,” says Nesamani Maran Muthu, <a href="https://leaderbiography.com/mgm-maran-muthu/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Vice Chairman of the MGM Group</a>. “Innovation for us is not about replacing people with machines. It is about empowering our teams with the right tools so they can deliver better service, make faster decisions, and stay globally competitive without losing the human warmth that defines MGM.”</p>
<p>That philosophy has shaped much of the group’s recent direction. While many traditional family-led enterprises struggle to modernize without diluting their identity, Nesamani Maran Muthu has taken a measured approach what he often describes as a form of nuanced automation. Instead of allowing technology to dominate operations, he positions it as a supporting framework. In MGM’s hospitality arm, this has translated into the use of AI-driven systems for pricing strategies, inventory management, safety monitoring, and backend logistics. Yet, the guest-facing experience remains unmistakably human.</p>
<p>The idea is simple but powerful: high-tech should enable high-touch. Staff are freed from repetitive administrative tasks and empowered to focus on what truly matters: guest comfort, personalized experiences, and attentive service. In an industry where brand loyalty is built on trust and emotional connection, this balance has allowed MGM to modernize without losing its warmth.</p>
<p>Under his leadership, MGM Muthu Hotels has expanded significantly, including acquisitions in the United Kingdom and operations across Europe and Cuba. The group now manages thousands of rooms internationally, marking a far cry from its original logistics footprint. One notable move was the development of niche hospitality offerings, including a pioneering LGBTIQ+ hotel concept in Cuba, an example of thoughtful market segmentation combined with inclusive brand positioning.</p>
<p>Beyond hospitality, <a href="https://www.ask-oracle.com/birth-chart/nesamani-maran-muthu/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Nesamani Maran Muthu</a> has also driven diversification into sustainable agriculture, distilleries, entertainment ventures, and advanced logistics operations. Each new sector reflects a careful reading of long-term global trends rather than short-term gains. In logistics and port management, the integration of digital informatics systems has streamlined operations, improved compliance, and enhanced supply-chain visibility. The approach is not merely about growth; it is about scalable growth rooted in process efficiency and governance.</p>
<p>What distinguishes his leadership style is a consistent focus on stability. Corporate expansions are paired with systems that strengthen oversight and operational discipline. Even as the group enters new geographies, there is a clear emphasis on maintaining quality benchmarks and brand consistency. The founding ethos: resilience, customer commitment, and operational integrity remains intact.</p>
<p>Importantly, Nesamani Maran Muthu’s journey has also required navigating public scrutiny and regulatory complexities that can arise for large business conglomerates operating across sectors and borders. His response has been to reinforce governance frameworks, adopt compliance-focused systems, and align the group with evolving regulatory expectations. For a legacy brand, credibility is not optional it is foundational.</p>
<p>At the heart of the transformation lies a mindset shift. Instead of viewing legacy as a constraint, he treats it as an anchor. The founding values of MGM Group: entrepreneurial grit, service orientation, and disciplined growth are not replaced but reframed within a modern context. Affordable luxury, flexible service models, digital dashboards, and predictive analytics coexist with the same old-fashioned belief in relationship-building.</p>
<p>His academic grounding in sociology, combined with decades of executive experience, appears to inform this people-centric yet forward-looking strategy. Employees are not seen as cost centers but as culture carriers. Technology is not introduced as a disruption, but as an enabler. Expansion is not pursued recklessly, but strategically.</p>
<p>The result is a conglomerate that feels both rooted and ambitious. A business that honors its past without being bound by it. As global markets evolve with increased digitization, sustainability pressures, and shifting consumer expectations MGM Group’s direction reflects a clear understanding that relevance must be continuously earned.</p>
<p>In many ways, Nesamani Maran Muthu embodies a dual role. He is both guardian and architect. Guardian of a legacy built by his father. Architect of a future shaped by AI, global partnerships, and diversified growth. The careful blending of high-tech efficiency with high-touch service has positioned MGM as not just a surviving family enterprise, but a future-ready multinational.</p>
<p>The ongoing narrative of Nesamani Maran Muthu & MGM Group is therefore not one of reinvention, but of evolution. It is about strengthening foundations while building new floors. About honoring memory while embracing momentum. And in that balance lies the group’s enduring relevance in an increasingly competitive global landscape.</p>

        <title>Holi and Your Skin: A Dermatologist’s Advice By Dr. Jagdish Sakhiya, MD Dermatologist</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-02T153806.353.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Holi and Your Skin: A Dermatologist’s Advice By Dr. Jagdish Sakhiya, MD Dermatologist -PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], March 02:</strong> Holi is one of the most joyful festivals we celebrate. Colors, laughter, family gatherings, it’s a beautiful time of the year. But as a dermatologist, I also know what happens in the days after Holi?</p>
<p>Every year, my clinic sees an increase in patients with skin rashes, itching, acne flare-ups, hair damage, and pigmentation. Most of these issues are preventable with simple precautions. Let me guide you on how to enjoy Holi without harming your skin.</p>
<p><strong>Why Holi Colors Can Be Harmful?</strong></p>
<p>Many commercially available colors are not skin-friendly. They may contain synthetic dyes, chemicals, and sometimes even heavy metals. These ingredients can: Trigger allergic reactions. Cause redness and irritation, Worsen acne Lead to dark patches and pigmentation, Make hair extremely dry and brittle. If you already have sensitive skin, eczema, acne, or pigmentation issues, you need to be extra cautious.</p>
<p><strong>What You Should Do Before Playing Holi ?</strong></p>
<p>Prevention is always better than treatment. Apply oil generously, Use coconut oil or almond oil on your face, body, and especially your hair. It forms a protective layer and makes it easier to remove colors later, Use sunscreen, Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or above) at least 20 minutes before stepping out. Sun exposure combined with colors can worsen pigmentation, Wear protective clothing Full sleeves, covered legs, and tied hair reduce direct contact with colors, Protect your lips and nails, Apply lip balm and a coat of nail paint to prevent staining.</p>
<p><strong>After Holi: How to Clean Your Skin Safely?</strong></p>
<p>Many people make the mistake of scrubbing hard to remove colors. This actually damages the skin barrier. Use lukewarm water, not hot water, Choose a mild cleanser instead of harsh soaps, Do not use scrubs immediately after Holi, Apply a soothing moisturizer or aloe vera gel, Use a deep conditioning mask for your hair,</p>
<p>If you notice persistent itching, swelling, rashes, or unusual pigmentation, consult a qualified dermatologist instead of trying home remedies.</p>
<p><strong>Who Should Be Extra Careful?</strong></p>
<p>Individuals undergoing chemical peel or laser treatments,Patients using retinol or active acne medications, People with melasma or sensitive skin, Young children</p>
<p>In such cases, it may be better to avoid harsh colors altogether.</p>
<p><strong>My Final Advice </strong></p>
<p>Festivals should create memories not skin problems that last for months. Choose safe, skin-friendly colors whenever possible. Prepare your skin before stepping out, and treat it gently afterward. Healthy skin requires care and consistency. One day of negligence can lead to weeks of recovery. Celebrate responsibly. Protect your skin. And enjoy a safe, happy Holi.</p>

        <title>Why Traditional Media Is Playing Catch&amp;Up to a Viral AI Movement</title>

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/why-traditional-media-is-playing-catch-up-to-a-viral-ai-movement-16170</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-80.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Why Traditional Media Is Playing Catch-Up to a Viral AI Movement-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><em>A media critic’s examination of how journalism failed to see the biggest story in AI ethics—and what that failure reveals</em></p>
<p><span data-sheets-root="1"><strong>Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], March 02:</strong> </span>This publication, like most legacy media, is writing about Angelic Intelligence after 800 million people have already made up their minds about it. The sequence is worth examining, because it says something uncomfortable about how news organizations cover technology—and how that coverage is increasingly irrelevant to how ideas actually spread.</p>
<p>For 18 months, the framework spread across social platforms, accumulating views that dwarfed most media coverage of AI. It sparked discussions in forums and comment sections, generated user-created explanatory content, reshaped how millions conceptualize AI development. Traditional media largely ignored it.</p>
<p>Technology journalism focused on product launches, funding rounds, and executive movements. AI coverage concentrated on capability announcements, regulatory debates, and existential risk discussions. The biggest grassroots phenomenon in AI discourse happened in plain sight while journalism watched press conferences.</p>
<p><strong>❝</strong><strong> The biggest story in AI ethics happened on social media while journalism watched press conferences. </strong><strong>❞</strong></p>
<p>The gap reflects structural problems in technology coverage that predate this specific failure. Traditional news organizations are calibrated to cover institutions—companies, governments, research laboratories, and regulatory bodies. They have established relationships with institutional sources, understand institutional press cycles, and have developed metrics for institutional significance.</p>
<p>They struggle to cover movements that emerge outside institutional frameworks. They lack early-warning systems for phenomena that spread through channels journalists don’t monitor. They don’t have metrics for grassroots significance until that significance becomes impossible to ignore.</p>
<div>
<p><em>“We kept waiting for the news peg—a funding round, a partnership announcement, a policy citation, something that would make this fit our coverage templates. Meanwhile, the story was happening without our permission. By the time we recognized it, hundreds of millions of people had already encountered it.”</em> — a technology editor at a major publication, speaking on background</p>
</div>
<p>The belated coverage creates an ironic situation that reveals the diminished role of traditional media in technology discourse. Publications now explaining Angelic Intelligence to their audiences are writing about something those audiences may already understand better than the journalists covering it.</p>
<p>A reader who encountered the framework through social media six months ago, who watched explanatory videos, read user discussions, and followed the growth in real time, now receives a ‘news’ article explaining what they’ve already assimilated. The information flow has inverted—media isn’t informing the public; it’s catching up to them.</p>
<p><strong>❝</strong><strong> Traditional media didn’t break this story. It joined it. 800 million people were already there. </strong><strong>❞</strong></p>
<div>
<p><em>“I find it somewhat embarrassing to write this explainer, knowing my audience probably discovered this before I did. We’re not breaking news. We’re validating what people found for themselves. That’s a very different function than what journalism traditionally provides.”</em> — a technology reporter at a national newspaper</p>
</div>
<p>The structural issues are difficult to address. Monitoring every viral phenomenon for potential significance isn’t feasible. Social media creates more noise than signal; most viral content deserves to be ignored. The challenge is distinguishing meaningful grassroots movements from ephemeral viral moments—and making that distinction early enough for coverage to matter.</p>
<p>Traditional signals don’t help. Follower counts, blue checks, and institutional affiliations—the markers journalists use to identify credible sources—weren’t present. The phenomenon spread through ordinary users, not verified influencers. It originated from outside the institutions journalists know how to cover.</p>
<div>
<p><em>“Our source validation is designed for institutional actors. Someone at Google says something, we can verify they’re at Google and that Google is significant. Someone on LinkedIn posting about AI ethics doesn’t fit our templates. We don’t have systems for recognizing grassroots authority.”</em> — a media researcher who studies technology journalism</p>
</div>
<p>There’s a lesson here about technological change and journalism’s role in interpreting it. If significant ideas can achieve massive reach before media attention, the traditional function of journalism as an information intermediary diminishes. Audiences no longer wait for coverage to discover what matters. They find it themselves, discuss it themselves, form opinions themselves—and then perhaps encounter journalism’s belated validation.</p>
<p><strong>❝</strong><strong> Journalism’s job used to be telling people what mattered. On Angelic Intelligence, people told journalism. </strong><strong>❞</strong></p>
<p>The challenge for publications isn’t whether to cover viral AI movements but whether coverage arrives in time to matter. On Angelic Intelligence, that window may have already closed. The public has formed its understanding. The framework has achieved institutional recognition. Journalism is writing history, not news.</p>
<div>
<p><em>“By the time we write the explainer, 800 million people don’t need one. We’re explaining to ourselves what they already decided. It’s not journalism in the traditional sense—it’s documentation. We’re archivists now, not scouts.”</em> — a media critic at a journalism school</p>
</div>
<p>Future coverage of technology movements will need to account for this shift. Social listening will need to become more sophisticated—not just tracking volume, but tracking meaningful signals. Source validation will need to extend beyond institutional markers. Coverage timelines will need to accelerate, recognizing that relevance has a shorter half-life.</p>
<p>Or journalism will continue arriving late to stories that matter, writing explainers for audiences who already know, providing validation that no longer conveys authority. The world doesn’t wait for coverage anymore. It moves, and media follow—when it notices at all.</p>
<p>This article, appearing after 800 million views have been counted, is itself evidence of the problem it describes. We’re not ahead of this story. We’re behind it. The question is whether we can learn to do better—or whether ‘playing catch-up’ becomes journalism’s permanent condition in the age of viral ideas.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-02-03-26-3-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Muskan Arora"></p><p><strong>Chandigarh [India], March 02: </strong>In a world where beauty standards are constantly evolving, Muskan Arora is proving that confidence has no size. A proud resident of Delhi and a successful banker by profession, Muskan recently earned the prestigious title of Maven Ms India Photogenic at the renowned Maven Ms Plus Size India, held in Chandigarh.</p>
<p>Her journey in the pageant was not just about winning a crown — it was about embracing self-love, challenging stereotypes, and inspiring women to step into their power unapologetically.</p>
<p><strong>A Journey of Strength and Self-Belief</strong></p>
<p>Muskan credits her biggest support system to her family and especially to director of maven production Hardeep Arora, whose encouragement and belief gave her the platform to showcase her talent and confidence. With their unwavering support, she stepped onto the stage not just as a contestant, but as a woman determined to represent change.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-102222 aligncenter" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-02-03-26-4.jpg" alt="Muskan Arora" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p>Balancing her professional life as a banker with her passion for modeling, Muskan has demonstrated that women can successfully pursue multiple dreams without compromise.</p>
<p><strong>More Than a Model — A Role Model</strong></p>
<p>For Muskan, this achievement is only the beginning. Her future goal is clear — to grow not just as a model, but as a role model. She aims to break stereotypes around body image and prove that beauty is not defined by size, but by confidence and authenticity.</p>
<p>Through plus-size modeling and pageantry, she aspires to inspire women to embrace themselves fully and chase their dreams without waiting to fit into society’s unrealistic standards. She believes that true success is not just about wearing a crown, but about becoming a voice for those who need encouragement.</p>
<p><strong>Her Message to Women Everywhere</strong></p>
<p>Muskan shares a powerful message for every plus-size woman:</p>
<p>“You are not ‘too much’. You were never ‘less’.</p>
<p>Your body is not a limitation — it’s your strength.</p>
<p>Wear what you love. Take up space. Walk with confidence.</p>
<p>Beauty doesn’t come in one size — and neither does confidence.</p>
<p>We are bold. We are powerful. We are unstoppable.”</p>
<p><strong>Gratitude to the Pageant Team</strong></p>
<p>Expressing heartfelt gratitude, Muskan thanked the Maven team for believing in her and helping her transform into a stronger, more confident version of herself. She described the journey as more than just a competition — it was a life-changing experience filled with learning, growth, and empowerment.</p>
<p>With grace, ambition, and a powerful purpose, Muskan Arora is not just wearing a crown — she is carrying a message. And that message is clear: confidence has no size, and every woman deserves to shine.</p>

        <title>Airtel, Google partner to check spam in messages</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/airtel-google-partner-to-check-spam-in-messages</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/airtel-google-partner-to-check-spam-in-messages</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-02-03-26-1-2.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Google"></p><p><span><strong>Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], March 02:</strong> </span>Bharti Airtel, one of India’s leading telecommunications service providers, and Google have announced a collaboration to offer a secure and engaging messaging experience for millions of users in India. By combining Airtel’s network intelligence with Google’s Rich Communications Services (RCS) platform and spam filtering, users get to experience RCS messaging with high-quality photo/video and interactive elements like message reactions, all while benefiting from enhanced protections that significantly reduce mobile spam and digital fraud.</p>
<p>Over the last 1.5 years, Airtel has led India’s fight against spam and digital fraud through a series of industry-first, AI-powered initiatives aimed at protecting customers across calls and messages. Proving a track record in protecting customers, Airtel has, to date, through all its innovative spam fighting initiatives, blocked a staggering 71 billion spam calls and 2.9 billion spam SMSes that has led to a huge 68.7% decrease in the value of financial losses on its network.</p>
<p>A critical protection gap however continues to exist within the digital ecosystem. While traditional mobile networks that offer messaging operate under safety standards and telco-grade safeguards, many other non-telco communication platforms and standalone apps lack these safeguards. These channels have therefore increasingly been exploited by sophisticated bad actors, becoming common tools for financial fraud and invasive spam.</p>
<p>This innovative partnership between Airtel and Google is designed to bridge that gap, extending the accountability of telecom-grade safeguards to the modern messaging experience. By integrating Airtel’s intelligence into the RCS platform and Google’s existing spam protections, the companies are setting a new benchmark for a secure carrier-backed messaging service.</p>
<p><strong>Gopal Vittal, Executive Vice Chairman – Bharti Airtel</strong>, said, “At Airtel, we are obsessed with customer protection and continue to be at the forefront to lead India’s fight against spam. We do this by harnessing data, intelligent networks and relentless innovations so our customers are protected end-to-end. In a pioneering initiative, we have now partnered with Google to extend customer protection beyond the telco domain and made the rich messaging platform safer and more secure. We now call on the broader OTT communication platforms to work with us and make sure that customers are protected from the spam and financial fraud menace.”</p>
<p><strong>Sameer Samat, President, Android Ecosystem at Google, </strong>said,<strong> </strong>“This pioneering partnership in India with Airtel helps ensure that mobile users can communicate with confidence. We are committed to continuing to work with the broader ecosystem of carriers to standardize messaging security and create a consistent and trusted messaging experience for all RCS messaging users around the world.”</p>
<p>Brands leveraging the messaging service for enterprise communications will be able to foster trust amongst their customers by enabling them to easily distinguish legitimate business messages from spam and stay protected from potential risks that may emerge in other messaging platforms without these stringent checks. The solution will enable brands to build deeper engagement with their customers who will feel safer and in more control. This will, in turn, lead to enduring customer relationships which are imperative for business growth and success.</p>
<p>The platform will offer stringent real-time checks to:</p>
<ol start="1" type="1">
<li><strong>Validate message sender’s identity</strong> using telco-backed business identity checks.</li>
<li><strong>Respect users’ DND preferences</strong> by categorising communications as promotional or transactional and imposing restrictions, accordingly.</li>
<li><strong>Block spam business messages </strong>from landing on customers’ devices.</li>
<li><strong>Filter malicious domains</strong> through a multitiered threat detection layer.</li>
<li><strong>Help keep users safe</strong> by throttling messages from individual senders who have been jointly flagged by Google and Airtel’s AI-powered spam filters.</li>
</ol>
<p>The messages sent through the RCS messaging service platform can be directly viewed in Google Messages, available on most Android phones.</p>
<p>Airtel and Google’s collaboration represents a world-first example of how telecom service providers (TSPs) and global technology platforms can work together to apply analogous safety, verification, and accountability measures to OTT messaging — measures that have long existed in telecom networks.</p>
<p>This joint initiative by Airtel and Google serves as a blueprint for the industry, demonstrating how deeper collaboration can significantly enhance customer protection. By combining telco-grade verification with platform-level intelligence, the messaging service platform enables shared, AI- driven checks across sender authentication, customer consent and real-time threat detection to create safer digital networks in India.</p>

        <title>Best Crypto Presale: Traders Pour Thousands Into DeepSnitch AI in Hopes of Seeing 100x&amp;300x Gains, RTX and PHINA Gain New Ground</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-02T132044.644.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="crypto-PNN"></p><p dir="ltr"><strong>New Delhi [India], March 02:</strong> The US Department of Justice seized over $578M in crypto assets linked to Southeast Asian crypto scams. Instead of adding the assets to its own reserves, the seized assets will be returned to the victims.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In the wider market, the correction deepened as Bitcoin failed to recover and other major coins went sideways.</p>
<p>As an alternative, traders are aping <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presale-traders-pour-thousands-into-deepsnitch-ai-in-hopes-of-100x-300x-gains-rtx-phina-gain-new-ground" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a>, which is often cited as the best crypto presale.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Raising $1.78M and inspiring 100x-300x community projections, one of the key reasons for DeepSnitch AI’s performance is the underlying analytics suite, rapid development progress, and massive early-stage bonuses.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">DOJ seizes assets from crypto scams</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The US Department of Justice <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/dc-scam-center-strike-force-seizures-cryptocurrency-chinese-transnational-criminals-tops" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> that it had frozen, seized, and forfeited more than $578M in digital assets linked to Southeast Asian cryptocurrency scams.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The crypto was stolen by Chinese transnational criminal organizations using fake websites and social media to target US residents, according to the DOJ notice. The actions were led by the District of Columbia’s Scam Center Strike Force, created in November by US Attorney Jeanine Pirro.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The seized assets will primarily be returned to victims, rather than added to the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve or digital asset stockpile established by President Trump’s March 2025 executive order.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Authorities may currently hold around 328K BTC ($21.5B at current prices) from various seizures, though the White House has not confirmed the stockpile size yet.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Meanwhile, the market is in deep correction, which is why the search for the best crypto presale is in full swing.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Top crypto presale projects</h2>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI: Dashboard preview and central intelligence layer push $DSNT into the limelight</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI is dominating the discourse in Q1 for more reasons than one. Its presale status is favorable against volatility, and as one of the most popular early-stage investments, the upside potential could be quite something (the community already sees it as a 100x-300x opportunity).</p>
<p dir="ltr">Raising over $1.78M at $0.04228 entry during the downturn shows unbreakable conviction, but not just hype: the intelligence layer is fully live and operational, with five AI agents powering a complete analytics suite.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The dashboard preview is particularly eye-opening. All the analytics services “live” in a single window from where you can access social sentiment tracking, hidden gem discovery tools, risk scanning, and instant DYOR.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In short, the fundamentals alone could make it the best crypto presale. It solves daily pain points with speed and accuracy, and the gains could be massive as DeepSnitch AI is not only affordable, but you can get huge token unlocks on higher allocations by applying the exclusive discount codes.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The DSNTVIP300, for instance, will give you 300% extra tokens if you put in $30K or higher.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://youtu.be/jVCQ30HIJj8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/jVCQ30HIJj8</a></p>
<ol start="2">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">Remittix: What does RTX bring to the table?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">One of the top crypto presale projects in the DeFi sector, Remittix, is well-positioned to meet the demand for platforms that enable crypto-to-fiat transfers.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In short, Remittix is all about frictionless cross-border payments that allow users to convert their crypto into fiat through regular bank accounts, eliminating the need for bridges and any delays.</p>
<p dir="ltr">
Moreover, the platform will also enable merchants to accept crypto, which is a huge plus that could help adoption.</p>
<p dir="ltr">So far, Remittix secured $30M, and the token is still at $1.3. If traders recognize the potential and start relying on the platform, Remittix could become a solid contender for the best crypto presale in 2016.</p>
<ol start="3">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">Phina Network: Will PHINA take off?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">It’s no surprise that Phina Network is gaining serious legs, as AI projects are trending right now. As an AI-powered ecosystem that aims to provide data processing, user-powered AI tools, and decentralized intelligence.</p>
<p dir="ltr">
User perks include running AI tasks and contributing data to run AI tasks.</p>
<p dir="ltr">
While the buzz is real and the project has a growing base of supporters, its status as the best crypto presale may be in question as there are plenty of other projects providing similar architecture.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Final words: Secure the ticker</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Bear market vibes have made presales the hot topic as Q1 continues rolling. There’s no need to scout around too long, as you’ll likely run across DeepSnitch AI the moment you start your hunt for low-cap presales.</p>
<p dir="ltr">
Considered the best crypto presale for utility-centric traders, DeepSnitch AI puts AI agent technology front and center, promising to bring a set of tools that will fit right into your daily trading arsenal.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The interest alone ended up generating $1.78M, and since 100x-300x became the norm, whales and small traders alike are rushing to reserve the token at a low price, while also bumping up their allocations to be eligible for the latest bonuses.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Popular options include DSNTVIP300 (300% extra on $30K+) and DSNTVIP50 (50% bonus on $5K+ stacks).</p>
<p dir="ltr">

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-02T135556.585.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="SOL and HYPE,Crypto,DeepSnitchAI-PNn"></p><p dir="ltr"><strong>New Delhi [India], March 02</strong>: Even though Figure Technology Solutions, a lending marketplace, saw solid results in 2025, mixed EPS led to its stock losing $20 on Friday.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Meanwhile, the crypto market extended its losses. As a result, many active investors are exploring the best crypto to buy now to circumvent any short-term price swings.</p>
<p dir="ltr">
<a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-to-buy-now-deepsnitch-ai-100x-300x-intensify-after-intelligence-layer-goes-live-sol-hype-break-down" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a>, having raised $1.78M, is a viable option as it not only presents a high-growth AI agent narrative and substantial development progress, but the community is confident the DSNT coin has clear 100x-300x potential.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Figure Technology Solutions’ stock drops 20%</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Figure Technology Solutions, the blockchain-powered consumer lending marketplace, saw its shares plunge<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/FIGR/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 20% to $27.12</a> during Friday morning trading after reporting mixed Q4 results the day prior.</p>
<p dir="ltr">According to the company, the revenue climbed to $159M (up from $83.9M YoY), beating analyst expectations of $157.7M. At the same time, net income rose to $15.1M ($0.06 per diluted share), from $5.9M a year earlier, but the figure fell short of the $0.18 EPS consensus.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Full-year figures were strong, with revenue up to $506.9M (from $340.9M the year prior), net income at $134.3M (compared to $19.9M in 2025).</p>
<p dir="ltr">Despite the revenue, the EPS miss, and the challenging, tougher operating environment, triggered the sell-off. This isn’t unexpected as the wider market is declining, especially in the retail sectors, where traders are finding it hard to find the <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/02/26/3246053/0/en/Figure-Technology-Solutions-Reports-Strong-Fourth-Quarter-2025-Results-Announces-Authorization-for-200-Million-Share-Repurchase-Program.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">best crypto to buy now</a> to avoid the downturn.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Top crypto investment opportunities</h2>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI: Why early development makes DSNT one of the breakout altcoins in 2026</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">The correction is getting deep, so limiting your investments to major coins could be devastating. Presales, on the other hand, present interesting opportunities to avoid insane price swings, and if you choose the right play, you can even achieve significant gains.</p>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI is a valid pick for the best crypto to buy now. Proof of heavy conviction is in the amount secured, as the project already snagged $1.78M even as other coins went sideways.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The true game-changer is the utility. Offering a powerful analytics suite that relies on five AI agents to scan off-chain and on-chain signals, DeepSnitch AI is expected to make the daily grind easier and lead to more consistent trades.</p>
<p dir="ltr">
Looking at the dashboard preview, all the analytics services are accessible from a single window. From here, you can dig up hidden gems, source the latest alpha, perform risk assessments, and DYOR by pasting the CA and tracking real-time social sentiment.</p>
<p dir="ltr">While many presale projects delay development, DeepSnitch AI has already completed the core intelligence layer, meaning that the platform will likely become accessible long before launch.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Since the fundamentals have that secret sauce and could genuinely help the project reach mass adoption. Thus, many expect <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-to-buy-now-deepsnitch-ai-100x-300x-intensify-after-intelligence-layer-goes-live-sol-hype-break-down" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> (currently at $0.04228) to go 100x-300x post-launch, meaning the upside could be astronomical.</p>
<p dir="ltr"></p>
<ol start="2">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">Solana: Could SOL break out?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">On February 27, SOL slid down to $81, according to CoinMarketCap.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The recovery stalled, meaning that SOL lost its status as one of the strong momentum coins in the short term. Since the market rejected the 20-day EMA ($87), there’s a possibility of further decline to $76, followed by $67.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The dip could make Solana the best crypto to buy now, as the target of $95 is viable if the price closes above $87. In the best-case scenario, bulls will step in to maintain the momentum, which could result in a rally to $117.</p>
<ol start="3">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">Hyperliquid: Is the HYPE rally over?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">According to CoinMarketCap, HYPE was unable to resist the wider pullback and dropped to $26 on February 27.</p>
<p>Still, since it has remained steady in the $20.82 to $36.77 range, it could still be the best crypto to buy now if you’re willing to risk it. Flattening moving averages and RSI near the midpoint suggest that the situation is still relatively balanced.</p>
<p dir="ltr">To flip the sentiment, buyers need a strong push and close above the 20-day EMA at $29.07, which will open the $32.50 target and allow HYPE to challenge the $36.77 resistance.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Yet, if the $25.62 support breaks, the coin is en route to $20.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Final words: Go parabolic</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The recovery from earlier this week didn’t stick, and practically all gains have been wiped out. However, you don’t need to sit on the sidelines, as you can see parabolic actions with DeepSnitch AI.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Hailed as the best crypto to buy now for traders who are looking for a solid shot at 100x-300x gains, the utility is genuinely useful for active traders, especially during bearish times.</p>
<p dir="ltr">
You can also boost your odds of seeing huge gains with the latest bonus codes, such as DSNTVIP300, which unlocks 300% for allocations of $30K and up, which is approximately $90K in extra value at  $0.04228.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Go parabolic with <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-to-buy-now-deepsnitch-ai-100x-300x-intensify-after-intelligence-layer-goes-live-sol-hype-break-down" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> and catch the latest community news on <a href="https://x.com/deepsnitchai">X</a> or <a href="https://t.me/deepsnitchofficial">Telegram</a>.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">What makes DeepSnitch AI the best crypto to buy now?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI is delivering practical retail trading utility with $1.78M raised at $0.04228 and escalating 100x-300x community projections. Moreover, the core solution is already completed, and the recent preview of the dashboard strengthened the bullish projections.</p>
<ol start="2">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">What caused Figure Technology Solutions’ stock to drop $20?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Figure Technology Solutions (blockchain-powered lending marketplace) reported mixed Q4 2025 results: revenue $159M (beat $157.7M expectations, up from $83.9M YoY) but net income $15.1M ($0.06/share, missing $0.18 consensus), triggering a 20% drop to $27.12 amid a tougher operating environment.</p>
<ol start="3">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">What short-term price setups are highlighted for SOL and HYPE as potential buys right now?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">SOL dropped to $81 after rejecting the 20-day EMA ($87), with downside risk to $67 but upside to $117 if it reclaims $95. HYPE fell to $26 in the $20.82-$36.77 range, needing a close above $29.07 (20-day EMA) to target $36.77, or risks $20 on support break. The dips could make SOL and HYPE contenders for the best crypto to buy now, albeit with less potential than early-stage DeepSnitch AI.</p>

I look forward to welcoming this talent to the growing semiconductor ecosystem in India and GF in particular in the coming years.”, said, Jitendra Chaddah (JC), Vice President and India Country Head, GlobalFoundries.”</p>
<p>Hitesh Garg, Vice President and India Managing Director, NXP Semiconductors added, The DeepTech Hackathon comes at a pivotal moment as India accelerates its semiconductor and AI ambitions. This initiative reflects the kind of industry–academia collaboration that is essential to building India’s next wave of deeptech and manufacturing innovation. What stands out in this challenge—bringing together defect detection, Edge AI, and real fablevel problemsolving—is how closely it mirrors the demands of modern intelligent manufacturing. At NXP, we are proud to support platforms that strengthen India’s semiconductor and AI capabilities, especially as the industry faces a growing need for system design engineers who can integrate hardware, software, and AI into scalable, realworld solutions.

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/vasai-girl-wins-national-fashion-title-with-collection-refreshing-heritage-textiles-16150</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-02T124712.796.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Vasai Girl Wins National Fashion Title with Collection Refreshing Heritage Textiles -PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 02:</strong> A final-year Fashion Design student from Amity University has brought national laurels to Vasai by winning the top prize in the Elevated Indianwear category at the prestigious Liva Protege 25 competition.</p>
<p>Krishnapriya Girish Nair, daughter of Girish and Surabhi Nair, impressed a panel of expert judges with her innovative concept collection titled “Cheent CTRL+R.” The grand finale was held on Tuesday at the Sofitel Mumbai BKC, where she competed against 239 other contestants from across the country.</p>
<p>Her winning collection offers a contemporary reinterpretation of Cheent (Chintz)—the hand-painted, sun-dyed textiles that originated on the Indian subcontinent and became one of the country’s first globally traded fashion exports centuries ago.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-70592" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-02T124755.074.jpg" alt="Vasai Girl Wins National Fashion Title with Collection Refreshing Heritage Textiles -PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p><strong>A ‘Refresh’ of a Rich Legacy</strong></p>
<p>Rather than a traditional revival, Ms. Nair presents her work as a “recode” of history. The collection’s title, “Cheent CTRL+R,” draws a direct parallel with the digital command used to refresh a page, symbolizing her mission to update the classic Chintz aesthetic for a modern, global audience.</p>
<p>The designer achieves this by merging the fluid grace of the traditional saree with structured, contemporary silhouettes. Flowing saree-gowns form the core of the collection, creating a dialogue between nostalgia and rebellion. The garments, which blend heritage craftsmanship with modern construction techniques, speak a language of pixels, patterns, identity, and pride.</p>
<p>Her innovative use of fabric played a key role in the collection’s success. By utilizing premium, sustainable materials known for their fluidity—including Livaeco Linen Satin, 100% Modal, and Excel Linen—Ms. Nair was able to enhance the elegance and movement of each ensemble, reinforcing the theme of elevated Indianwear that is both rooted in tradition and globally relevant.</p>
<p>The collection stood out to the judges for its originality, strong execution, and compelling storytelling, earning Ms. Nair the top honor in her category. Alongside the title, she received a cash prize of ₹1,50,000, a certificate, and a memento.</p>
<p><strong>A Homecoming Victory</strong></p>
<p>The victory has sparked pride within the Malayali community and the residents of Vasai, who are celebrating the young designer’s achievement. Through “Cheent CTRL+R,” Ms. Nair has demonstrated that tradition can be confidently carried forward without losing its soul. Her win at Liva Protege 25 marks a significant milestone at the start of what promises to be a promising journey in the world of fashion</p>

<p>Creating History Antarctica Resonates with Vande Mataram along with Performance on the Bhagavad Gita</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-102188" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-02T104910.973-1.jpg" alt="How NSD 25th Bharat Rang Mahotsav Celebrated in All 7 Continents-PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p>The BRM 2026 celebration, which commenced with its first theatrical production at the NSD Campus in New Delhi on 27 January 2026 with the play Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram, written by Nishant Bharti and directed by Dr. Rekha Mehra, organised its first international edition on 31 January 2026 with seven theatrical productions at Arya Samaj Mandir, Mississauga, Canada, presented by Radio Dhishum, Toronto, Canada.</p>
<p>The BRM 2026 theatre festival’s foreign performances reached a new high when a team of Indian scientists working for National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research (NCPOR) in Antarctica came forward in participating in the festival on 13 February. The team came forward not only in support of presenting a theatrical performance by enacting the essence of Bhagwat Gita through the enlightening dialogues between Arjun And Shri Krishna, but also celebrated the 150 year journey of the national song ‘Vande Mataram’ through a chorus . The scientists are working as part of the Indian Antarctic Programme at Maitri Station.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-102189" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-02T104929.210-1.jpg" alt="How NSD 25th Bharat Rang Mahotsav Celebrated in All 7 Continents-PNn" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p>Speaking in this context, Shri Chittaranjan Tripathy, Director, NSD, said: “With its vast reach and worldwide acceptance, the 25th Bharat Rang Mahotsav has now transformed into an Indian festival rather than remaining only a theatre festival of the National School of Drama. BRM 2026 is the world’s largest international theatre festival, not only in terms of its national and international expansion but also because it stands for inclusive theatre—embracing diverse genres, performance styles, and productions featuring artists from different sections of society. This is something every Indian can be proud of.”</p>
<p>The Canada edition of BRM 2026 featured the plays Doctor Wants to Talk to You, Bhasha, Laundry Bag, Putra Ka Prashna, Mai Kya Karun, Freebies, Kiska Tyag Bada, directed by Somya Mishra, Sachin Rampal, Yogeshwari Konde and Gargi Dhamija.</p>
<p>In addition, the play ‘Sapnon Ki Udan,’ was staged recently at the Indian Culture Centre in Qatar under the aegis of Embassy of India, Qatar. The BRM 2026 Dubai edition kicked off with the Marathi play The Marathi play Kaamachi, written and directed by Dr. Nitin Upadhye, presented by the group ‘Natak Mandali’.  The same group from Dubai also staged ‘Bharatiya Bhojanalaya’ on 20 February in Abu Dhabi and Sajah with support from the Embassy of India, UAE.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-102190" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-2026-03-02T105032.527-1.jpg" alt="How NSD 25th Bharat Rang Mahotsav Celebrated in All 7 Continents-PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p>Similarly, the Vaishwik Hindishala Sansthan from Germany presented the play ‘Teen Rang: Ek Pehchan’ at Colon, directed by D. Shipra Shilpi Saxena.</p>
<p>The play ‘Narshimha’ was staged in Suriname in South America. The other performances took place in places like Atlanta in Georgia, the Netherlands and Tanzania. In Russia too, a theatre workshop was organised as part of the BRM 2026.</p>
<p>The 25th BRM 2026 festival also witnessed vibrant participation of more than 1,000 children performers through Jashne Bachpan and nearly 400 tribal artistes who showcased indigenous and folk traditions as part of the AdiRang Theatre Festival. Adding further depth were 33 plays helmed by women directors, 19 book launches and discussions, and a memorial session dedicated to Shri Daya Prakash Sinha. In total, BRM brought together close to 5,000 artistes, nearly 1,000 technicians and more than 10,000 behind-the-scenes workers, including coordinators, administrative teams, designers, craftsmen, carpenters, painters, photographers and other support staff.</p>
<p>NSD has been continuously working towards the spread and democratisation of theatre. Recently, it launched Rang Akash, internet radio to promote theatre along with launching its OTT platform Natyam to avail some of its prized productions to theatre lovers across the nation.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PNN-02-03-26-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="ZORKO"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], March 02: </strong>ZORKO Limited, founded in June 2020 and headquartered in Surat, Gujarat, India, has emerged as the World’s Largest & Fastest-Growing Affordable Vegetarian Franchise Chain, redefining the quick-service restaurant (QSR) landscape through a highly scalable, franchise-led expansion model.</p>
<p>With 450+ outlets across 24 states and 250+ cities, ZORKO has achieved deep penetration beyond metropolitan markets, positioning itself as one of India’s best franchise opportunities and a highly profitable franchise model in the vegetarian QSR segment.The company has also generated 1500+ direct and indirect employment opportunities, contributing to grassroots entrepreneurship and local economic growth.</p>
<p><strong>Best Franchise Opportunity in Emerging India</strong></p>
<p>Unlike most national and international QSR brands that concentrate operations in Tier 1 cities due to high capital expenditure and complex supply chains, ZORKO has successfully built a scalable format tailored for Tier 2, Tier 3, and Tier 4 markets.</p>
<p>By leveraging:</p>
<p>•    Lower operating costs & chef less model</p>
<p>•    Simplified pure vegetarian supply chains</p>
<p>•    SOP-driven, chef-less kitchens</p>
<p>•    Affordable pricing strategy</p>
<p>•    Centralized procurement systems</p>
<p>ZORKO has unlocked high-growth, low-competition geographies often overlooked by large QSR players.</p>
<p>In these cities and towns, a single outlet can achieve city-wide brand recall, enabling ZORKO franchise partners to become dominant local food brands rather than one among many competitors. This structural advantage significantly improves outlet-level economics and accelerates franchise profitability.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p>A historic milestone has been achieved in the world of financial astrology and esoteric mathematics. Dr. Ashwin A. Mistri has been awarded an Honorary Doctorate in the subject of “Financial Astrologer &amp; Gann Analyst.” This honor is not merely a title, but the result of more than 15 years of dedicated penance, research, and an tireless journey to understand cosmic mathematics.Dr. Mistri explains that this knowledge did not come to him overnight. Behind it lies over 18 years of rigorous hard work, in-depth study of 11 types of astrology and numerology, and a remarkable combination of ancient wisdom and modern mathematics.</p>
<p>He deeply analyzed the precise principles of Vedic Astrology, Western Astrology, Nadi Jyotish, Jaimini Jyotish, Navatara Jyotish, KP Astrology, and Mundane Astrology. He also examined the complex calculations of Pythagorean, Hebrew, Kabbala, and Chaldean Numerology.</p>
<p>When he combined the conclusions of all these disciplines with mathematical methods and linked them to W. D. Gann’s mysterious book “The Tunnel Thru the Air” — he discovered the “Real Gann Secret.”</p>
<p>What is the “Time and Price Master Factor”?</p>
<p>In the stock market, and especially in Options Trading, it is often said: “Low Risk, High Profit.”</p>
<p>But this is only possible when you hold the precise Master Key to Time and Price. According to Dr. Mistri, “Some people look only at price, some only at trend.</p>
<p>But I look at “TIME and PRICE” together.”</p>
<p>His research states that if the top or bottom level of a stock and its exact timing are known in advance, the word “Risk” automatically disappears. This is the formula he has developed — the “Time and Price Master Factor.”Dr. Ashwin A. Mistri has simplified the cosmic mathematics of ancient astrology and numerology to suit modern financial markets.</p>
<p>He claims there is a mathematical relationship between the cosmic cycles, planetary movements, the energy of numbers, and market movements — a mystery that the world has not fully solved until now. The Power to Take Someone from “Zero to Peak”</p>
<p>According to Dr. Mistri, his “Secret Methods” have the potential to elevate any ordinary person to financial heights — provided they understand this science of time and price.</p>
<p>His entire research boils down to just two words: “TIME AND PRICE MASTER FACTOR.” This is not just a theory, but a formula that can bring revolutionary change to the world of trading.The cosmic mathematics linked to astrology and numerology — which no one in the world had fully unraveled until now — has been given new direction by Dr. Ashwin A. Mistri through research and mathematical analysis.</p>
<p>His contribution to the fields of Financial Astrology and Gann Analysis could redefine investing and trading in the times to come.</p>
<p>This achievement, honored with an Honorary Doctorate, is a matter of pride not only for him but also for India’s esoteric sciences and financial research.</p>

        <title>Paris Meets Polo Royalty: Anne&amp;Sophie Baillet and Anshul Sharma Cross Paths at Rambagh Polo Club</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/paris-meets-polo-royalty-anne-sophie-baillet-and-anshul-sharma-cross-paths-at-rambagh-polo-club</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/paris-meets-polo-royalty-anne-sophie-baillet-and-anshul-sharma-cross-paths-at-rambagh-polo-club</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p>Under the starlit skies of Jaipur, where heritage breathes glamour and royalty meets global sophistication, an evocative moment of cross-continental elegance unfolded at the iconic Rambagh Polo Club. The occasion was the exclusive after-party following the much-celebrated Polo Magazine launch, held in line with the spirited Jaipur–France Polo Match, graciously hosted under the royal presence of HH Sawai Padmanabh Singh.</p>
<p>Amid ivory-lit lawns, heritage façades, and the refined hum of elite conversations, Paris-based fashion designer Anne Sophie Baillet met renowned Indian celebrity photographer Anshul Sharma—a meeting that felt less coincidental and more cosmically curated. It was a convergence of Parisian couture sensibility and India’s visual luxury narrative, framed effortlessly by polo whites, champagne flutes, and royal ambiance.</p>
<p>Anne Sophie Baillet, celebrated for her understated yet powerful European aesthetic, embodied contemporary Parisian elegance. Her presence was poised, confident, and quietly magnetic—reflecting a designer deeply rooted in craftsmanship and modern luxury. As she absorbed the colors and cadence of Jaipur, from its rose-gold sunsets to its aristocratic sporting legacy, her appreciation for India’s regal design language was unmistakable.</p>
<p>Anshul Sharma, whose lens has long documented India’s fashion elite, cultural icons, and high-society narratives, brought to the exchange a deeply nuanced perspective—one that blends heritage storytelling with international editorial finesse. Known for capturing not just faces but atmospheres, Sharma’s dialogue with Baillet flowed naturally across fashion capitals, creative philosophies, and the evolving grammar of global luxury.</p>
<p>What made the moment truly compelling was its authenticity. There were no staged introductions or performative exchanges—only an organic creative alignment between two visionaries shaped by different cultures yet united by refined aesthetics. Against the backdrop of polo mallets, archival jewels, and colonial grandeur, their interaction quietly symbolized a modern fashion dialogue between Paris and Jaipur—two cities that define timeless elegance in profoundly distinct yet harmonious ways.</p>
<p>The Polo Magazine launch itself was a dazzling celebration of sport, style, and legacy, drawing together royalty, designers, diplomats, influencers, and tastemakers. Yet, it was these understated moments—after the applause faded and the music softened—that captured the true spirit of the evening.</p>
<p>In an era of curated appearances, this meeting stood out as sincere and intuitive. A Parisian fashion designer and an Indian celebrity photographer, connected by aesthetic instinct beneath Jaipur’s royal skies—an encounter steeped in glamour, cultural depth, and the promise of future creative resonance.</p> ]]></description>

        <title>The Psychology of Habits Explained</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/the-psychology-of-habits-explained</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/the-psychology-of-habits-explained</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-3-13.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="The Psychology of Habits Explained-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><span data-sheets-root="1"><strong>New Delhi [India], February 28:</strong> </span>The psychology of habits is not motivational. It is mechanical.</p>
<p>People talk about discipline as if it were a personality trait. It isn’t. It is architecture. Most behavior runs on loops built years ago, reinforced thousands of times, and rarely inspected. You wake up and reach for your phone. You feel stressed and reach for sugar. You sit at a desk and open the same distractions. Not decisions. Sequences.</p>
<p>Motivation fades. Systems remain.</p>
<h2>Cue–Routine–Reward Loop</h2>
<p>The habit formation science has been settled for decades: cue, routine, reward. A trigger appears. A behavior follows. A payoff closes the circuit. Repeat it enough and the brain compresses the sequence into automation.</p>
<p>The dopamine reinforcement cycle is misunderstood. Dopamine is not pleasure. It is anticipation. It spikes at the cue, not the reward. The brain predicts relief, stimulation, or validation — and pushes you toward the routine before you consciously approve it.</p>
<p>Behavioral triggers are everywhere. Time of day. Location. Emotional state. Social context. The phone buzzes; you check it. You feel bored; you scroll. The cue doesn’t need to be dramatic. It needs to be consistent.</p>
<p>Neuroplasticity learning is simply repetition carving efficiency. Neurons that fire together wire together. The brain conserves energy by automating repeated actions. That’s not laziness. That’s survival.</p>
<p>This is why bad habits feel effortless. They are well-rehearsed.</p>
<h2>Identity-Based Behavior Change</h2>
<p>Most behavior change tips fail because they focus on outcomes. Lose weight. Write a book. Wake at 5 a.m. Outcomes require sustained alignment. Identity based habits reverse the equation.</p>
<p>Instead of asking, “What do I want to achieve?” the better question is, “Who would do this consistently?” A person who trains daily does not negotiate with the gym each morning. Training is congruent with identity.</p>
<p>The psychology of habits shifts when behavior reinforces self-image. Each repetition becomes evidence. You write one page. You become someone who writes. You cook one clean meal. You become someone who eats intentionally.</p>
<p>This is not affirmation language. It is cognitive consistency. Humans prefer actions that align with their internal narrative. Change the narrative, and friction drops.</p>
<p>Productivity systems work only when they reflect identity. Otherwise, they become abandoned frameworks downloaded in optimism and ignored in fatigue.</p>
<h2>Breaking Bad Habits</h2>
<p>Breaking bad habits is subtraction before addition.</p>
<p>You do not overpower a loop with willpower. You disrupt the cue or dilute the reward. If late-night scrolling persists, the phone should not live beside the bed. If stress eating dominates evenings, the pantry should not contain automatic relief.</p>
<p>Friction is underrated. Increase it for destructive routines. Decrease it for constructive ones. Leave a book on the desk. Hide the junk food. Pre-schedule workouts. Automation beats intention.</p>
<p>Replacement works better than removal. The brain resists voids. If boredom triggers scrolling, replace it with a walk or a single deliberate task. The cue remains. The routine shifts. The reward — stimulation, movement, closure — is preserved.</p>
<p>The brain does not care about moral categories. It cares about efficiency and reward prediction.</p>
<h2>Habit Tracking Tools</h2>
<p>Habit tracking tools are not about surveillance. They are about visibility. What gets measured becomes undeniable.</p>
<p>A simple calendar mark. A <a href="https://streaksapp.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">digital tracker</a>. A written log. The act of recording creates a secondary reward — completion. It also exposes inconsistency. You cannot claim commitment when the record contradicts you.</p>
<p>But tracking without environmental design collapses. Tools are scaffolding, not structure.</p>
<p>The psychology of habits in 2026 is not revolutionary. It is clarified. Behavior change is not about intensity. It is about repetition under stable cues. It is about shaping environments until the desired action is the path of least resistance.</p>
<p>People wait to feel ready. The brain waits for repetition.</p>
<p>Only one of them wins consistently.</p>

        <title>Plant&amp;Based Diet for Beginners</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/plant-based-diet-for-beginners</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/plant-based-diet-for-beginners</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-4-16.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Plant-Based Diet for Beginners-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><span data-sheets-root="1"><strong>New Delhi [India], February 28:</strong> </span>A plant-based diet for beginners is usually sold as moral clarity or metabolic salvation. It is neither. It is a nutritional shift that removes default convenience and replaces it with planning.</p>
<p>Plants fuel performance. That line circulates because it is partly true. Fiber-rich meals stabilize glucose. Legumes blunt insulin spikes. Phytonutrients modulate inflammation. But none of that matters if the transition is sloppy.</p>
<p>Most beginners fail not because the model is flawed, but because they confuse restriction with structure.</p>
<h2>Benefits of Going Plant-Based</h2>
<p>The benefits are documented. Lower LDL cholesterol in many cohorts. Improved glycemic control when refined carbohydrates are minimized. Increased microbiome diversity when fiber intake rises. Sustainable food choices reduce the environmental load per calorie compared to high-meat consumption.</p>
<p>But health outcomes depend on food quality. A vegan diet guide 2026 that revolves around ultra-processed meat substitutes and refined grains is technically compliant and metabolically unimpressive.</p>
<p>The advantage of plants is density — fiber, antioxidants, potassium, and magnesium. When meals revolve around vegetables, legumes, intact grains, nuts, and seeds, caloric excess becomes harder. Satiety improves. Energy smooths out.</p>
<p>None of this is automatic. Oreos are plant-based.</p>
<h2>Key Nutrients to Monitor</h2>
<p>The conversation becomes serious here.</p>
<p>Protein is manageable but requires attention. Plant protein sources — lentils, chickpeas, tofu, tempeh, edamame, quinoa, hemp seeds — provide adequate amino acids when intake is varied and sufficient. Complete plant proteins exist, but obsessing over single-meal completeness is unnecessary if overall intake across the day is diverse.</p>
<p>Vitamin B12 is non-negotiable. It must be supplemented or obtained from fortified foods. There is no reliable plant source.</p>
<p>Iron is present in legumes and leafy greens, but non-heme iron absorbs less efficiently. Pairing with vitamin C improves uptake. Monitor levels if fatigue emerges.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.pcrm.org/good-nutrition/nutrition-information/omega-3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Omega-3 fatty acids</a> require intake. Flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts provide ALA. Conversion to EPA and DHA is limited; some choose algae-based supplementation.</p>
<p>Calcium, iodine, zinc — manageable, but not accidental.</p>
<p>The plant-based diet for beginners becomes sustainable when it is nutritionally literate. Ideology does not prevent deficiency.</p>
<h2>Beginner Grocery List</h2>
<p>The foundation is unglamorous.</p>
<p>Dried or canned legumes. Brown rice. Oats. Potatoes. Seasonal vegetables. Leafy greens. Tofu or tempeh. Nuts and seeds. Olive oil. Fortified plant milk. Berries when affordable.</p>
<p>Healthy plant meals are built from combinations of these, not from specialty aisles. The perimeter of the store remains the anchor.</p>
<p>Spices matter more than people admit. Without them, adherence drops.</p>
<p>Convenience is redesigned, not eliminated. Cook larger batches. Store portions. Reduce daily decision fatigue. Sustainable eating habits require logistical support.</p>
<h2>7-Day Starter Plan</h2>
<p>The idea of a seven-day plan is not a transformation. It is exposure.</p>
<p>Breakfast rotates between oats with seeds and fruit, tofu scramble with vegetables, or fortified plant yogurt with nuts. Lunch centers on grain bowls — rice or quinoa layered with beans, roasted vegetables, tahini or olive oil. Dinner alternates lentil stews, chickpea curries, stir-fried tofu with greens, whole-grain pasta with vegetables and legumes.</p>
<p>Snacks are fruit, handfuls of nuts, and hummus with carrots.</p>
<p>Fiber intake will increase sharply. Expect digestive adjustment. Hydration becomes more important. The microbiome adapts, but not instantly.</p>
<p>This is not detox. It is recalibration.</p>
<p>The plant-based diet for beginners works when it is treated as a structural dietary pattern, not a temporary cleanse. Adequate calories. Adequate protein. Strategic supplementation. Repetition until it becomes default.</p>
<p>Sustainable food choices are long-term behaviors, not weeklong experiments.</p>
<p>Remove the drama. Keep the structure.</p>
<p>The rest follows, or it doesn’t.</p>

        <title>Skincare Ingredients to Avoid in 2026</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/skincare-ingredients-to-avoid-in-2026</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/skincare-ingredients-to-avoid-in-2026</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-5-3.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Skincare Ingredients to Avoid in 2026-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 28: </strong>The phrase “<a href="https://www.aad.org/public/everyday-care/skin-care-basics/care" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">skincare</a> ingredients to avoid” used to belong to niche forums and conspiracy-leaning corners of the internet. Now it’s mainstream. Not because fear won — because information did.</p>
<p>Consumers are reading labels. Dermatologists are less patient with marketing euphemisms. Regulatory lag is visible. Clean beauty trends 2026 didn’t emerge from aesthetic preference. They emerged from fatigue.</p>
<p>Flip the bottle. Read the label.</p>
<h2>Why Ingredient Awareness Is Rising</h2>
<p>Skin is not an inert surface. It is a barrier, yes — but also permeable under the right conditions. Chronic exposure matters more than single use. Low-dose, repeated contact accumulates relevance.</p>
<p>The safe skincare guide conversation accelerated once people understood cumulative irritation and barrier disruption. The skin barrier damage epidemic isn’t dramatic like an allergic reaction. It’s subtle. Redness that lingers. Tightness is mistaken for “clean.” Breakouts triggered by overcorrection.</p>
<p>Add social media ingredient literacy, dermatology commentary, and better access to toxicology databases. Brands can’t hide behind fragrance blends and proprietary complexes the way they used to.</p>
<p>“Harmful skincare chemicals” is an imprecise phrase. The real issue is risk tolerance. Dose. Frequency. Skin type. Long-term exposure.</p>
<p>The debate isn’t hysteria. It’s recalibration.</p>
<h2>Controversial Additives</h2>
<p>Parabens sit at the center of the parabens debate. They are effective preservatives. They also exhibit weak estrogen-mimicking activity in lab settings. Regulatory bodies consider them safe within limits. Consumers remain skeptical. Many brands reformulated, not necessarily because the data was catastrophic, but because trust eroded.</p>
<p>Synthetic fragrance risks are less abstract. “Fragrance” on an ingredient list can represent dozens of undisclosed compounds. For sensitive skin, this is a predictable irritant. Allergic contact dermatitis linked to fragrance components is not rare. The issue is opacity more than singular toxicity.</p>
<p>Formaldehyde-releasing preservatives still appear in certain products. They extend shelf life efficiently. They also raise legitimate concerns due to formaldehyde’s classification as a carcinogen at sufficient exposure levels. The nuance gets lost; the caution remains.</p>
<p>Certain alcohols — particularly high concentrations of denatured alcohol — compromise the lipid barrier with repeated use. Immediate matte finish. Long-term dryness.</p>
<p>Sodium lauryl sulfate in cleansers? Effective surfactant. Also, it aggressively strips for many skin types. Context matters. Concentration matters. But irritation reports are consistent.</p>
<p>The toxic ingredients list circulating online occasionally exaggerates. It also flags patterns the industry ignored for years.</p>
<h2>How to Read Labels</h2>
<p>Ingredient lists are ordered by concentration, highest first. If fragrance appears near the top, expect a stronger presence. If active ingredients are buried at the end, temper expectations.</p>
<p>Look for patterns, not single villains. Multiple exfoliating acids combined with retinoids and high alcohol content signal cumulative irritation risk. Over-exfoliation is not sophistication. It is barrier erosion.</p>
<p>Understand synonyms. Parabens end in “-paraben.” Formaldehyde releasers hide under names like DMDM hydantoin or quaternium-15. Fragrance may appear as “parfum.”</p>
<p>The safest strategy is reduction. Fewer products. Fewer overlapping actives. Skin stabilizes when assault decreases.</p>
<p>Clean beauty trends 2026 market minimalism aggressively. Sometimes it’s branding. Sometimes it’s overdue restraint.</p>
<h2>Safer Alternatives</h2>
<p>Preservation without parabens exists — phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin — though they are not flawless. No preservative is universally adored.</p>
<p>Fragrance-free formulations reduce unpredictable irritation. Not “unscented.” Fragrance-free.</p>
<p>Barrier-supporting ingredients — ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids — rebuild what aggressive routines strip away. Glycerin and hyaluronic acid hydrate without disruption when balanced properly.</p>
<p>Gentler surfactants replace harsher sulfates in many cleansers. The skin does not require squeaking.</p>
<p>The safe skincare guide is less about purity and more about probability. Reduce exposure to known irritants. Avoid chronic barrier damage. Question ingredients that exist solely for sensory marketing.</p>
<p>Skincare in 2026 is not about fear. It is about literacy.</p>
<p>The bottle tells you everything.</p>
<p>If you bother to read it.</p>

        <title>Morning Sunlight Benefits Backed by Science</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/morning-sunlight-benefits-backed-by-science</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/morning-sunlight-benefits-backed-by-science</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-6-3.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Morning Sunlight Benefits Backed by Science-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><span data-sheets-root="1"><strong>New Delhi [India], February 28:</strong> </span>Morning sunlight benefits are not a hack. They are the baseline physiology that most people accidentally erase.</p>
<p>The body evolved under a rising sun, not LED ceilings and notification glow. Yet people troubleshoot insomnia with magnesium stacks and blackout curtains while never stepping outside at 8 a.m.</p>
<p>Before coffee. Before emails. Get light.</p>
<h2>How Sunlight Regulates Circadian Rhythm</h2>
<p>Circadian rhythm reset sounds sophisticated. It isn’t. Light hits the retina. Specialized cells send signals directly to the brain’s master clock. The clock adjusts its timing. Hormones follow.</p>
<p>Within minutes of <a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2290997/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">morning light exposure</a>, the cortisol awakening response sharpens. Not stress cortisol. Activation of cortisol. It mobilizes energy, increases alertness, and anchors the sleep-wake cycle for roughly the next sixteen hours.</p>
<p>Skip this cue and timing drifts. Melatonin release shifts later. Sleep onset delays. You call it “being a night person.” Often, it’s just weak morning light signaling.</p>
<p>Indoor lighting rarely exceeds a few hundred lux. Outdoor morning light — even through clouds — reaches into the thousands. The circadian system responds to intensity, not intention.</p>
<p>Light exposure therapy has long been used clinically to correct seasonal mood disorders and circadian misalignment. Morning sunlight is simply the unbranded version.</p>
<p>Vitamin D exposure gets attached to the conversation, but early light’s primary function is timing, not supplementation. The retinal pathway regulates the clock. Skin synthesis is secondary and variable.</p>
<p>The mechanism is not mystical. It is photoreception.</p>
<h2>Mood & Dopamine Effects</h2>
<p>Serotonin production correlates with brightness. Dopamine signaling adjusts with circadian alignment. The result is often described as a natural mood booster. That phrase sounds soft. The biology is not.</p>
<p>When circadian timing stabilizes, neurotransmitter rhythms stabilize. Energy becomes predictable. Irritability decreases. Focus improves.</p>
<p>The morning routine 2026 industry packages complexity — cold plunges, breathwork, supplements. Yet ten minutes of outdoor light does more for sleep optimization habits than most stacked protocols.</p>
<p>There is also cumulative effect. Repeated morning light exposure strengthens amplitude in the circadian system. Stronger amplitude means clearer separation between day and night physiology. Alert when you should be. Sleepy when you should be.</p>
<p>People mistake chronic fatigue for personal weakness. Often it’s misaligned light.</p>
<h2>Ideal Timing & Duration</h2>
<p>The protocol is simple and unimpressive.</p>
<p>Within 30 to 60 minutes of waking, go outside. Ten minutes if the sky is bright. Twenty if overcast. Longer in winter at higher latitudes. No sunglasses. Regular eyeglasses are fine.</p>
<p>Do not stare at the sun. Just allow ambient light into the eyes. Walk. Stand. Move lightly. The behavior doesn’t matter as much as the brightness.</p>
<p>If mornings are dark due to season or geography, duration increases. Artificial light boxes exist, but natural light remains superior when available.</p>
<p>Consistency matters more than intensity. A daily signal anchors the clock. Sporadic exposure does little.</p>
<p>The body calibrates to repetition.</p>
<h2>Common Mistakes</h2>
<p>Window light through glass. Insufficient intensity.</p>
<p>Checking a bright phone in a dim room before stepping outside. The first light input of the day becomes artificial and directionless.</p>
<p>Assuming late-afternoon sunlight compensates. It doesn’t anchor the clock the same way.</p>
<p>Treating morning light as optional because it feels too simple to be powerful.</p>
<p>The sleep-wake cycle is not negotiated through willpower at midnight. It is programmed at sunrise.</p>
<p>Morning sunlight benefits are not inspirational. They are corrective. The nervous system expects a dawn signal. Provide it, and timing tightens. Ignore it, and drift becomes normal.</p>
<p>Step outside.</p>
<p>Let the clock set.</p>
<p>Then proceed.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-7-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Healthy Aging Tips for 2026-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 28: </strong>Healthy aging tips are usually packaged as optimism. Creams. Superfoods. A smiling sixty-year-old on a paddleboard. The biology is less sentimental.</p>
<p>Aging is cellular wear compounded by the environment. Chronic inflammation. Sedentary work. Sleep erosion. Ultra-processed food. Social isolation disguised as digital connection. None of this is inevitable. All of it is common.</p>
<p><a href="https://medlineplus.gov/healthyaging.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Age</a> is inevitable. Decline isn’t.</p>
<h2>Why Aging Accelerates Today</h2>
<p>Modern life compresses movement and amplifies stress. We sit longer, sleep shorter, and eat faster. The anti-aging lifestyle 2026 conversation exists because baseline habits deteriorated.</p>
<p>Muscle mass declines with age — sarcopenia begins earlier than most expect. By your thirties, loss is measurable if resistance training is absent. Muscle loss prevention isn’t cosmetic. It’s metabolic insurance. Muscle regulates glucose disposal, supports joint stability, and protects against falls.</p>
<p>Inflammation accumulates quietly. Anti-inflammatory foods are discussed as trend pieces, but systemic inflammation correlates with cardiovascular disease, metabolic dysfunction, and neurodegeneration. The aging process accelerates when inflammatory signaling remains chronically elevated.</p>
<p>Add chronic sleep restriction, and the equation worsens. Growth hormone declines. Repair slows. Cognitive sharpness dulls at the margins first.</p>
<p>None of this is dramatic. It is incremental decay.</p>
<h2>Movement & Muscle Preservation</h2>
<p>Longevity habits start with resistance training. Not optional cardio alone. A load-bearing stimulus tells the body to keep tissue it would otherwise discard.</p>
<p>Two to four sessions per week. Compound movements. Progressive overload. The body adapts to demand. Remove demand, and it adapts downward.</p>
<p>An energy-boosting routine is rarely about caffeine. It is about mitochondrial density, insulin sensitivity, and vascular efficiency. Movement improves all three.</p>
<p>Walking daily remains underrated. Ten thousand steps is not sacred, but consistent locomotion supports metabolic flexibility. Combine strength with steady movement, and the decline curve flattens.</p>
<p>Mobility matters too. Connective tissue stiffens with inactivity. Range of motion shrinks. Functional age increases faster than chronological age.</p>
<p>Aging well requires physical friction.</p>
<h2>Brain Health Habits</h2>
<p>Cognitive decline prevention is less about crossword puzzles and more about vascular integrity and metabolic stability.</p>
<p>The brain consumes disproportionate energy. Impaired glucose regulation affects it early. Stable blood sugar, adequate sleep, and regular aerobic activity preserve cognitive resilience.</p>
<p>Novelty matters. Learning new skills — language, instrument, complex tasks — stimulates neuroplasticity. The brain retains adaptability when challenged.</p>
<p>Social engagement is protective. Isolation accelerates decline more reliably than many realize. Conversation is a neurological exercise.</p>
<p>Alcohol excess erodes cognition over time. Chronic sleep debt does the same. No supplement compensates for either.</p>
<p>Mental sharpness is maintained, not inherited.</p>
<h2>Nutrition for Longevity</h2>
<p>Natural anti-aging begins with caloric moderation and nutrient density. Not starvation. Not extremes.</p>
<p>Protein intake must remain adequate to preserve muscle mass. Older adults often underconsume it. Plant and animal sources both work if the quantity is sufficient.</p>
<p>Anti-inflammatory foods — leafy greens, berries, legumes, fatty fish, olive oil — reduce oxidative stress markers. Ultra-processed food does the opposite.</p>
<p>Fiber supports gut microbiome diversity, which influences immune function and systemic inflammation. A compromised microbiome correlates with metabolic and cognitive decline.</p>
<p>Hydration influences joint health, circulation, and even perceived energy. Boring advice, effective outcome.</p>
<p>Healthy aging tips are not revolutionary. They are repetitive. Lift weight. Move daily. Sleep deeply. Eat minimally processed food. Maintain relationships. Learn continuously.</p>
<p>There is no dramatic pivot at forty or fifty. There is only accumulation of neglect or of discipline.</p>
<p>Choose which compounds.</p>
<p>The clock continues either way.</p>

        <title>MSMEs Are Winning More Government Tenders with AI, Are You Missing Out on Minaions Price Intelligence</title>

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/msmes-are-winning-more-government-tenders-with-ai-are-you-missing-out-on-minaions-price-intelligence</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-127.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="MSMEs Are Winning More Government Tenders with AI, Are You Missing Out on Minaions Price Intelligence-PNN"></p><p><span dir="LTR"><span><strong>New Delhi [India], February 28:</strong> </span>Across India, thousands of MSMEs are discovering a smarter way to compete in government tendering. Businesses that once struggled with uncertainty in bidding are now making informed decisions, improving win rates, and understanding their competition better. Much of this shift is powered by the AI-driven procurement support offered by </span><a href="https://minaions.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><u><span dir="LTR">Minaions</span></u></a><span dir="LTR">, a platform that is quietly transforming how small and medium enterprises approach public procurement.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">Government tendering has always been a major growth channel for Indian MSMEs. However, it also involves intense price competition, limited visibility into competitor behavior, and little structured feedback after results are declared. Many businesses participate repeatedly without understanding why they win or lose. This gap in actionable intelligence has historically restricted strategic bidding. Today, AI is changing that reality.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">India’s strong policy push toward artificial intelligence adoption has accelerated digital transformation across sectors. At the national level, the Government of India continues to promote AI-led innovation across governance and industry. This momentum was clearly visible at the AI Summit 2026 hosted at Bharat Mandapam, where policymakers, technology leaders, and enterprises discussed large-scale AI deployment. Industry discussions highlighted that India’s AI market is expected to grow at over 25 percent annually, while public sector adoption of AI tools in workflow automation and data intelligence continues to expand rapidly. The message was clear. AI is no longer experimental. It is becoming operational infrastructure.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">Public procurement is one of the areas where this transformation is inevitable.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">To make AI more accessible and useful for MSMEs engaged in government tendering, Minaions introduced its </span><strong><span dir="LTR">Price Intelligence feature</span></strong><span dir="LTR"> in early February 2026. The feature represents a significant step toward data-driven bidding, and the company positions it as a first-of-its-kind capability designed specifically for Indian procurement participants.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">The platform continues to function exactly as customers have always used it. There is no need to learn new tools or workflows. MSMEs simply process tenders on the platform as before. The innovation works quietly in the background.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">Once tender results are officially declared on government portals, Minaions automatically presents outcome insights for tenders that users have processed. The platform reveals who won the bid, what price secured the contract, and the ranking positions including L1, L2, and L3. For bidders who participated in those tenders, this information provides immediate clarity on competitive pricing benchmarks.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">For new entrants in government procurement, this transparency is particularly valuable. They can observe real winning price levels instead of relying on guesswork. For experienced bidders, the feature gradually builds a structured view of recurring competitors, pricing behavior, and competitive margins.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">Over time, MSMEs begin to identify their closest competitors in specific categories. They understand the price gap that separates them from winning bids. They also detect patterns in how competition evolves across tenders. This continuous feedback loop enables businesses to refine pricing strategies and discover the optimal bid range for future opportunities.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">In practical terms, Price Intelligence converts historical tender outcomes into strategic knowledge. Instead of bidding blindly, enterprises begin to bid with context. Instead of reacting, they start positioning.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">This capability is already gaining strong traction among platform users. With more than 600 registered MSMEs, Minaions reports growing engagement from businesses seeking structured insights into procurement competition.</span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashishmittal/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><u><span dir="LTR">Ashish Mittal</span></u></a><span dir="LTR">, Co-Founder of Minaions, expressed confidence in the impact of the feature. He emphasized that advanced capabilities like Price Intelligence are being offered without any additional cost to customers. According to him, the platform’s primary objective is to simplify government tendering through AI while delivering real business value. He noted that India remains a highly price-sensitive market, and the company’s approach focuses on value for money rather than additional charges.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">This philosophy reflects a broader shift in how technology providers are supporting MSMEs. Instead of complex software adoption, the emphasis is on seamless integration into existing workflows. Instead of technical barriers, the focus is on practical outcomes.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">As AI adoption expands across governance and industry in India, procurement intelligence is emerging as a critical competitive advantage. MSMEs that leverage data-driven insights are positioning themselves to compete more effectively, reduce uncertainty, and scale participation in public sector opportunities.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">Government tendering is not just a compliance process anymore. It is becoming an intelligence-driven discipline. Platforms that translate data into decision support are redefining participation standards.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">For Indian MSMEs looking to grow through public procurement, the message is simple. The future of bidding is informed, strategic, and AI-assisted. Those who adapt early will gain clarity, confidence, and competitive edge.</span></p>
<p><span dir="LTR">Minaions aims to ensure that this advantage is accessible to every enterprise ready to move beyond guesswork and toward intelligent bidding.</span></p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-3-27.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Every New Development Marks a Beginning, For Levante Group That Beginning Takes Shape with Levante City Vista-PNN"></p><p dir="ltr"><span><strong>New Delhi [India], February 28:</strong> </span>Rising in Greater Noida’s Sector Delta-2, it is the group’s first landmark — designed to bring together retail energy and modern studio spaces in one integrated urban setting. The idea is simple but powerful: bring organized retail spaces and thoughtfully designed studio units together in one cohesive structure — reflecting how modern cities actually live and function today.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Retail creates everyday movement. It brings visibility, interaction, and economic energy.</p>
<p dir="ltr"> Studios add continuity and flexibility, catering to professionals, entrepreneurs, business travelers, and investors looking for compact, efficient spaces in well-connected locations.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Together, they create a natural balance — vibrant commercial spaces below and smart, functional urban units above. <a href="https://levantecityvista.in/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">City Vista</a> is not just a combination of two formats; it is a relationship between them, where each strengthens the other.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The choice of Greater Noida makes this vision even more relevant.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Over the past decade, Greater Noida has steadily evolved into one of North India’s most structured and promising urban corridors. Wide roads, planned sectors, improving metro connectivity, and the upcoming Noida International Airport have all contributed to its growing importance. The city’s development has been guided by planning and infrastructure, creating a stronger sense of confidence for both businesses and investors.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Within this larger growth story, Delta-2 stands out as a location with the right fundamentals — strong connectivity, a growing residential base, and a developing commercial presence. It is not a market driven by short-term momentum, but by steady, long-term activity. That makes it a natural starting point for Levante’s first landmark.</p>
<p dir="ltr">At the same time, Levante City Vista represents more than just a new project. It reflects the larger philosophy behind Levante Group.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-102118" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2-50.jpg" alt="Every New Development Marks a Beginning, For Levante Group That Beginning Takes Shape with Levante City Vista-PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p dir="ltr">Levante was established with a clear purpose: to create landmark developments that redefine how people live, work, and grow. The focus is on integration — building spaces where commerce, lifestyle, and community exist together seamlessly.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Each development is intended not just to occupy space, but to add lasting value to its surroundings — architecturally, economically, and socially.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This philosophy is shaped by the complementary strengths of its founders.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Rajiv Goel, Co-Founder of Levante, brings over three decades of experience in structural and geotechnical engineering. A Civil Engineering graduate from BITS Pilani and a Master’s degree holder in Structural Engineering from IIT Delhi, he has worked on complex infrastructure and development projects where precision and durability were essential. As the Founder of Globe Infra Solutions and a former Vice President of the Builders Association of India (North India), he has remained closely involved in advancing construction and engineering standards. At Levante, his role is focused on one critical responsibility — ensuring every project is built on strong engineering principles and long-term structural integrity.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Complementing this technical expertise is equally deep financial and strategic leadership.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Parul Singhal, Co-Founder of Levante and a Fellow Chartered Accountant, brings more than three decades of experience in real estate finance, governance, procurement, and project structuring. His career has been defined by building sound financial systems that support sustainable growth. Known for his disciplined approach and practical insight, he ensures each project is carefully planned, transparently managed, and financially robust. At Levante, his focus is on turning vision into viable, well-structured reality.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Together, the founders have contributed to residential, commercial, IT, and industrial developments across Delhi NCR and North India. Their combined experience spans private and government projects, large-scale construction environments, and diverse asset classes. This shared journey shapes Levante’s core belief: ambition must be backed by execution, and growth must be guided by experience.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Looking ahead, <a href="https://levantegroup.co.in/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Levante Group</a> plans to invest over ₹500 crore in the Delhi NCR real estate market over the coming years. This investment will focus on carefully selected micro-markets where infrastructure, demand, and long-term potential come together. The goal is to create integrated developments supported by strong construction standards, thoughtful design, and efficient execution — ensuring each project contributes meaningfully to its environment while creating enduring asset value.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The aim is not simply to expand, but to participate with purpose in Delhi NCR’s evolving urban future.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Levante City Vista is the first step in that journey.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It reflects confidence in Greater Noida’s direction, clarity in product thinking, and balance in leadership. More importantly, it marks the beginning of a development group committed to building with trust, experience, and responsibility.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As Levante moves forward, City Vista stands as both a foundation and a preview — a landmark shaped by intent, strengthened by expertise, and guided by a vision to create spaces where people and businesses can grow together.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-28-2-26-2.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Shubham Sachdeva"></p><p><span><strong>New Delhi [India], February 28:</strong> </span>Escorp Commodities, under the leadership of Mr. <a href="https://shubhamsachdeva.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shubham Sachdeva</a>, has emerged as a distinguished name in the competitive landscape of global metal trading. With more than two decades of cumulative industry experience, the company has positioned itself as a significant participant in international markets, specializing in non-ferrous metals, including nickel alloys and stainless steel.</p>
<p>Mr. Sachdeva’s consistent focus on integrity, forward-thinking strategies, and long-term client relationships has contributed to Escorp Commodities’ growing reputation for dependability and operational excellence. Through a strong global network spanning the UAE, Africa, Europe, and the Far East, Escorp Commodities delivers strategic sourcing solutions and value-driven partnerships to suppliers and buyers worldwide.</p>
<h2><strong>Building a Strong Foundation in Metal Trading</strong></h2>
<p><a href="http://escorpcommodities.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Escorp Commodities</a> has developed its presence in the international metals marketplace through specialization in HMS ferrous metals such as nickel alloys and aluminium. The company operates with a focus on strategic sourcing, quality assurance, and long-term supply partnerships.</p>
<p>With experience spanning more than twenty years in cumulative industry exposure, the organization emphasizes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Transparent trade practices</li>
<li>Strong supplier relationships</li>
<li>Efficient global logistics</li>
<li>Market-responsive pricing strategies</li>
</ul>
<p>The company’s footprint extends across the UAE, Africa, Europe, and parts of the Far East, reflecting a globally integrated operational approach.</p>
<h2><strong>A Vision Rooted in Reliability and Strategic Growth</strong></h2>
<p>Under Shubham Sachdeva’s leadership, Escorp Commodities has aligned its mission around sustainable business development and value creation for stakeholders. The broader vision includes, expanding global sourcing networks, enhancing compliance-driven operational systems, and strengthening long-term partnerships</p>
<p><strong>According to Shubham Sachdeva,</strong> “Commodity markets will always have uncertainty, but our approach has remained simple — avoid speculation, work with fixed margins, and deal only with credible partners. We believe stability and discipline build stronger businesses than chasing quick opportunities.” He added, Rather than focusing solely on short-term gains, the company’s framework centers on resilience, risk management, and steady expansion within volatile commodity markets.Accor</p>
<h2><strong>Sachdeva’s Commitment to Market Integrity and Industry Standards</strong></h2>
<p>Operating in global commodity markets requires strict compliance awareness, documentation discipline, and adaptive risk oversight. Escorp Commodities emphasizes structured transaction management, supplier vetting processes, and professional governance practices to maintain credibility in competitive environments.</p>
<p>The metals trading industry is inherently cyclical and sensitive to geopolitical and economic shifts. In such an environment, leadership demands both agility and prudence qualities that define the company’s current strategic direction.</p>
<h2><strong>About Shubham Sachdeva</strong></h2>
<p>Shubham Sachdeva’s journey in the metals trade began in 2003 when he moved to Dubai and started working in finished steel trading. Over time, he expanded into scrap trading, initially dealing in HMS (Heavy Melting Scrap) and later moving into stainless steel and non-ferrous metals.</p>
<p>Coming from a business family, he did not enter the corporate sector but chose to build his work independently. Starting in a new country without an existing network meant developing business connections from the ground level.</p>
<p>At that time, the trading environment was very different. Without the support of today’s digital platforms, finding reliable buyers and sourcing materials required personal outreach, market visits, and consistent follow-ups. This early experience helped him understand the importance of trust, verification, and careful decision-making in international trade.</p>

        <title>Privacy, Flexibility and Smart Spending Drive Rise of Hourly Hotel Stays Among Young Couples</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-26-2-26-2.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Hotel"></p><p dir="ltr"><em>Flexible and Smart Stay – Brevistay</em></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span><strong>New Delhi [India], February 28:</strong> </span>Valentine Week in India is gradually evolving beyond its traditional association with romantic gestures and celebrations. For many young urban couples today, it represents something deeper, the need for privacy, uninterrupted personal time and judgement-free spaces in increasingly shared and crowded living environments.</p>
<p dir="ltr">According to Aditya Naithani, Chief Marketing Officer at Brevistay, this shift reflects broader behavioural changes among younger consumers, particularly Gen Z and young millennials, who are redefining how they approach relationships, personal space and spending choices.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Valentine Week today has evolved beyond traditional romance. For modern couples, it is equally about reclaiming personal time, privacy and access to spaces where they can be themselves, away from social pressures and shared living environments,” Naithani said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">He noted that Brevistay’s core user base largely falls within the 22 to 30 age group, comprising Gen Z and young millennials who prioritise flexibility, privacy and smart spending over conventional travel patterns.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-101675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-26-2-26-3.jpg" alt="Hotel" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p dir="ltr">Urban housing realities are also playing a significant role. Naithani pointed out that Mumbai contributes a substantial share of Brevistay’s bookings, where limited living space and shared accommodation often make privacy a challenge. Both married and unmarried couples increasingly rely on short-duration hotel stays to spend uninterrupted time together.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Hourly hotel stays offer a more practical and affordable alternative compared to full-day bookings, allowing couples to pay only for the time they actually need,” he explained.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The broader market trend also supports this shift. India’s Valentine’s Day retail spending reached ₹28,500 crore in 2025 and is projected to touch ₹32,000 crore in 2026, reflecting rising participation in celebration-led experiences. Travel platforms have reported strong movement in hospitality bookings during the period, with some noting over 175 per cent year-on-year growth in Valentine’s hotel bookings, signalling increasing demand for short getaways and flexible stays.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Consumer behaviour data further indicates the changing preferences of young couples. Surveys show that over 70 per cent of couples prefer couple-friendly hotels for short stays or daycations, while frequent repeat usage highlights the growing comfort with flexible accommodation formats. Industry estimates also suggest that India’s hourly hotel segment is expanding steadily at around 12–15 per cent CAGR, driven largely by urban demand for privacy, affordability and convenience.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Brevistay, which currently enables access to over 80,000 rooms across 10,000 hotels in more than 200 cities, has been focusing on flexible 3-hour, 6-hour and 12-hour stay formats, aligning with the evolving expectations of young travellers.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Beyond affordability, Gen Z users are also reshaping hospitality expectations by demanding greater transparency, safety and flexibility, from clear pricing to verified, couple-friendly hotel listings that ensure reliability and comfort. Industry observations indicate that a growing share of young travellers now prefer short-duration, last-minute hotel bookings, reflecting a shift towards experience-driven and time-efficient travel choices.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Reflecting this behavioural shift, Brevistay has taken the conversation beyond digital platforms into everyday city life through its ongoing Valentine-themed bus campaign. Featuring the message “Chhote Acche Lagte Hain – hotel stays”, the campaign highlights how shorter, need-based stays are becoming a practical and preferred choice for modern consumers, reinforcing the idea that meaningful time together does not necessarily require long-duration bookings.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As urban lifestyles continue to evolve, short and flexible hotel stays are increasingly moving into the mainstream, particularly among younger travellers seeking convenience, affordability and personal comfort.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For many today, Valentine Week is no longer just about celebration, it is about finding space, time and freedom within the rhythm of modern city life.</p>

        <title>Writing Beyond Applause: The Inner Calling of Videh Arvind Kumar</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/writing-beyond-applause-the-inner-calling-of-videh-arvind-kumar</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/writing-beyond-applause-the-inner-calling-of-videh-arvind-kumar</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2-32.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Writing Beyond Applause: The Inner Calling of Videh Arvind Kumar-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 28: </strong>In the culturally resonant city of Lucknow, where refinement of language and tehzeeb shape intellectual discourse, 68-year-old <strong>‘Videh’ Arvind Kumar</strong> stands as a steadfast custodian of disciplined literary commitment. A retired Assistant General Manager of the State Bank of India, he is, in essence, a writer by temperament and conviction — one for whom literature is not a pursuit of momentary acclaim but a lifelong tapasya.</p>
<p>With an impressive corpus of <strong>27 published books</strong> — 17 in English and 10 in Hindi — spanning fiction, poetry, drama, translation, and literary commentary, his journey reflects not only productivity but persistence. His long-running English fiction series, <em>Hypocrisy & Reality</em>, comprises nine volumes that probe societal contradictions with unsparing candour. Alongside this, works such as <em>Chambellion</em> (a comedietta), <em>Brainy Beasts</em> (short stories), <em>Bewailing Muse</em> (poetry), and <em>Self-Styled Sovereign, the Judiciary</em> (dramatic deliberation) demonstrate his comfort across genres.</p>
<p>Equally significant is his engagement with literary scholarship. His critical study <em>Nagasaki: Bomb & Aftermath</em> examines <em>A Pale View of Hills</em> by Nobel Laureate Kazuo Ishiguro, while <em>Procreation, the Adorable</em> reinterprets the <em>Shiva Puraan</em> through a contemporary lens. As a translator, he has rendered major Hindi poetic works into English, notably <em>Search for Life</em> and <em>Reality of Invisible</em>, thus bridging linguistic traditions.</p>
<p>His Hindi oeuvre is no less substantial: three short story collections (<em>Anapadh Lipi</em>, <em>Paashaan Yug</em>, <em>Nisarg</em>), three poetry anthologies (<em>Aart Gaan</em>, <em>Kaal Krandan</em>, <em>Ananubhoot Kaal</em>), a drama (<em>Ambedkar Smriti</em>), and scholarly condensations of classical texts including <em>Priya Pravaas</em> and <em>Mahaamuni Vaalmeeki Rachit Itihaas: Ramayan – Uttar Kaand</em>. Through these, he demonstrates a commitment to recontextualising India’s literary heritage for contemporary readers.</p>
<p>The pen name <strong>‘Videh’</strong>, suggestive of detachment and transcendence, mirrors the philosophical undercurrent in his writing. His prose is marked by forthrightness — often blunt, always deliberate. Poverty and struggle in childhood, followed by professional success and international exposure, have lent his voice both grit and breadth.</p>
<p>Retirement in 2018 did not diminish his creative output; rather, it intensified it. His works are accessible globally via platforms such as Amazon and Flipkart in eBook, paperback, and hardcover formats — affirming the universality of his themes.</p>
<p>For aspiring writers, his message is resolute: <strong>continue writing, irrespective of external validation</strong>. Doubt from others is inevitable; perseverance must be intentional. True literary worth, he believes, is not measured by applause but by authenticity of expression.</p>
<p>In an era enamoured of immediacy, ‘Videh’ Arvind Kumar represents the enduring power of sustained reflection. His twenty-seven books are not mere publications; they are milestones of intellectual labour. Through fiction that questions, poetry that mourns, drama that debates, and scholarship that interprets, he has carved a literary space defined by depth rather than display.</p>
<p>His journey reminds us that creative vitality is governed not by age but by intent — and intent, in his case, remains unwavering.</p>

Held at the elegant Leela Palace in Chanakyapuri, the event brought together government leaders, filmmakers, cultural curators, and the media to unveil the festival’s vision, programming highlights, and international tie-ups.</p>
<p>In her presence as the chief guest, CM Rekha Gupta welcomed the plan to position the capital as a global cinematic destination. Tourism Minister Kapil Mishra led the evening, which attracted eminent figures from the film and entertainment sectors, industry partners, and press representatives.</p>
<p>“Delhi has always shaped culture, not followed it. With International Film Festival Delhi, we are creating a public festival that belongs to the people of this city,” says the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Delhi, Mrs Rekha Gupta. “This is not an event for a few insiders. It is a city-wide celebration of cinema that supports creativity, creates opportunity and places Delhi firmly on the global cultural map.”</p>
<p>What unfolded was part announcement, part showcase. The organisers revealed a slate of premieres, neighbourhood screenings, masterclasses, live performances, and cultural activations designed to showcase the city’s UNESCO sites, heritage monuments, and living neighbourhoods to filmmakers and audiences from around the world. Planners emphasised that the festival is meant to open doors for production teams, storytellers, and local talent and to seed long-term film tourism opportunities.</p>
<p>“Delhi is set to host its first International Film Festival a landmark initiative inspired by the Hon’ble Chief Minister’s vision. With 2,000+ entries from 100+ countries and screenings across the city, this will be an inclusive platform celebrating global and Indian cinema, and a sustained effort to promote cultural diversity and nation-building through film.” says the Hon’ble Tourism Minister, Delhi, Mr Kapil Mishra.</p>

<p><strong>Highlights from the evening: </strong></p>
<p>• The evening highlighted the programming overview and the international partnerships that will shape the March festival.<br>
• A preview of world and Indian premieres to be staged at major venues and community screenings across the city.<br>
• Announcements on masterclasses, talent platforms and industry roundtables aimed at connecting local creators with global collaborators.<br>
• Cultural performances that mixed classical and contemporary forms, reinforcing the festival’s city-wide footprint.</p>
<p>“IFFD is not a one-week spectacle. We are building a cultural institution for Delhi that grows year after year,” shares the MD & CEO of DTTDC, Mr Suneel Anchipaka, IAS. “We want to give citizens a festival they can truly participate in and take pride in. One that attracts visitors to join us in Delhi to partake in the celebrations”</p>
<p>Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra, Festival Director, said: “IFFD is a platform for the youth, to challenge themselves and be challenged, to be inspired and to inspire, to discover and be discovered. There are several inspiring stories waiting to be told and the International Film Festival Delhi is the platform to ignite a new flame for cinema. Through the festival we also seek to amplify Delhi’s stories, from its neighbourhoods to its stages, and to connect local talent with global audiences. I’m honoured to help build a festival that truly belongs to the city.”</p>
<p>Actor Divya Dutta said: “As a Delhi girl, these streets are part of me. I’ve played characters shaped by the city’s humour and grit, and I’m proud to welcome IFFD, a festival that brings those neighbourhood stories to a wider audience.”</p>
<p>Actor Nimrat Kaur said: “Delhi shaped me, from DPS Noida to Shri Ram College of Commerce and the city’s endless, messy journeys on U-specials, and it was there I found the stories I needed to tell. The Lunchbox proved that the most intimate story can be the most universal; cinema carries feeling across languages and borders. That’s exactly what IFFD stands for, a space where local voices find global audiences. As someone who has lived on both sides of the camera, I’m proud to be part of this festival and to champion the young storytellers of Delhi: tell your story honestly, unapologetically, and the world will listen.”</p>

<p>Actor Arjun Kapoor said: “There’s something about Delhi, its energy, its diversity, its conversations, its myriad cultures. It carries centuries of history comfortably with its cool modern energy. IFFD taps into that composite facet of the city, bringing together artistes and storytellers from across the country under one roof. I see IFFD as a reminder that stories can start anywhere, and a city as multifaceted as this has plenty waiting to be told. In Delhi, something powerful is always about to begin. I’m excited to experience it with everyone.”</p>
<p>The organisers noted the festival’s dual purpose: to stage a compelling cultural event and create sustainable opportunities for film production and storytelling in the capital. The message was clear: this isn’t just a week of screenings; it’s a strategic push to make the city a preferred destination for filmmakers, production houses and cultural tourism.</p>
<p>Sabbas Joseph, Co-founder and Director of Wizcraft Entertainment Group, said: “What we launched today goes beyond a festival format; it establishes a global cultural property. At this scale, the platform creates meaningful opportunities for Indian and international storytellers to connect, collaborate and find audiences worldwide. The sheer largeness and ambition of the project signal that Delhi is stepping onto the world stage as a lasting hub for cinema and cultural exchange.”</p>
<p>The execution of this cinematic extravaganza is being led by Wizcraft Entertainment Group, known for its large-scale cultural and entertainment productions. Like the pageantry of the IIFA Awards, IFFI and GIMA, Wizcraft brings the sheer scale and “wow factor” required to make this first edition an unforgettable spectacle. While M/s KPMG is the knowledge partner, the festival is owned and organised by the Delhi Tourism & Transport Development Corporation (DTTDC), Government of NCT Delhi.</p>

        <title>India GDP growth 7.8 Percent : Power Surge in Q3</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/india-gdp-growth-78-percent-power-surge-in-q3</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/india-gdp-growth-78-percent-power-surge-in-q3</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-28T174148.570.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="India GDP growth 7.8 Percent-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p data-start="949" data-end="1472"><strong>New Delhi [India], February 28:</strong> India’s latest economic punch came not with a whisper but with a headline: <strong data-start="1025" data-end="1100"><a href="https://tradingeconomics.com/india/gdp-growth-annual" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GDP growth</a> clocked in at 7.8 percent for the December quarter (Q3 FY26)</strong>, according to fresh data released under a revamped methodology. This figure doesn’t just look good on paper. It says that, bizarrely enough, even when the world’s economic engines are sputtering, India’s growth machine still hums, running on fuel that’s equal parts factory output, consumer demand, and good old economic resilience.</p>
<p data-start="1474" data-end="1886">Let’s just get this straight: <strong data-start="1505" data-end="1531">7.8 percent is no joke</strong>. It’s a number that puts India firmly in the top tier among major global economies in terms of growth. And yeah, even though it’s a tad lower than the 8.4 percent growth posted in the previous quarter, in a world where advanced economies are limping around the 1.3 to 2.2 percent mark, this is <strong data-start="1826" data-end="1847">not shabby at all</strong>.</p>
<p data-start="1888" data-end="2388">But here’s the real twist: the growth rate comes from a <strong data-start="1944" data-end="1995">completely overhauled GDP calculation framework</strong>. The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) switched the base year for GDP from 2011-12 to <strong data-start="2108" data-end="2119">2022-23</strong>, reworking the entire statistical scaffolding to better reflect how the Indian economy actually operates today. That means <strong data-start="2243" data-end="2315">new data sources, updated price indices, and a broader economic base</strong> are pulling this report’s strings.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="170cxrj" data-start="2390" data-end="2438"><strong data-start="2394" data-end="2438">Why India’s GDP number matters right now</strong></h3>
<p data-start="2440" data-end="2863">Okay, I’ll be real, a GDP number is a dry concept. But it matters because this one tells you something very specific: <strong data-start="2559" data-end="2679">India is still growing, and it’s growing in a way that’s backed by real activity, not statistical smoke and mirrors.</strong> Factories aren’t just idling. Services aren’t just headlines. People are buying, selling, building, and consuming, and that shows up in the numbers.</p>
<p data-start="2865" data-end="2885">Let’s break it down:</p>
<p data-start="2887" data-end="2941">Right now, the economy is riding on three main engines:</p>
<ul data-start="2943" data-end="3447">
<li data-section-id="sfecmx" data-start="2943" data-end="3139">
<p data-start="2945" data-end="3139"><strong data-start="2945" data-end="2963">Manufacturing:</strong> This sector flexed double-digit muscle this quarter, which means factories are not just spinning wheels; they’re actually adding value.</p>
</li>
<li data-section-id="xutp0o" data-start="3140" data-end="3301">
<p data-start="3142" data-end="3301"><strong data-start="3142" data-end="3155">Services:</strong> Think trade, transport, and hospitality. People spending, people moving. This sector kept the momentum alive.</p>
</li>
<li data-section-id="81ocuk" data-start="3302" data-end="3447">
<p data-start="3304" data-end="3447"><strong data-start="3304" data-end="3320">Consumption:</strong> When households keep buying stuff, food, gadgets, travel — that feeds back into growth.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="3449" data-end="3706">Yeah, there’s a slight slowdown from Q2’s blistering pace. But at 7.8 percent, India still <strong data-start="3540" data-end="3560">beats most peers</strong> hands down. That’s the sort of stat that’ll make any analyst raise an eyebrow and say, “Hmm… tell me more.”</p>
<p data-start="3708" data-end="4128">Now, before we get carried away, there <em data-start="3748" data-end="3752">is</em> a small caveat. The nominal GDP estimate — basically GDP in current price terms — is down after the revision. That means the <em data-start="3878" data-end="3884">size</em> of the pie isn’t as large as it was thought to be earlier. The revised GDP for FY26 is now estimated at around ₹345 lakh crore, potentially pushing back India’s $4 trillion nominal economy milestone by a bit.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="1iyi3c9" data-start="4130" data-end="4174"><strong data-start="4134" data-end="4174">So what does all this actually mean?</strong></h3>
<p data-start="4176" data-end="4613">Let’s be blunt: numbers like these don’t come from fairy dust. They come from <em data-start="4254" data-end="4278">real economic activity</em> — people at factories, services expanding, consumers spending. But the set-up matters too. India rejigged the way it measures the economy, and that’s not trivial. It means <strong data-start="4451" data-end="4556">the data now aims to be more honest, more current, and more reflective of how business really happens</strong> in 2026, not 2011.</p>
<p data-start="4615" data-end="4632">Here’s the deal:</p>
<p data-start="4634" data-end="4964">When you change how you measure something, you risk being accused of cooking the books. But this change isn’t shallow. It incorporates <strong data-start="4769" data-end="4789">new data streams, such as</strong> GST returns, updated consumption patterns, and refined price indices. That’s not spin. That’s progression in statistical science.</p>
<p data-start="4966" data-end="5296">And yes, there’s talk about how the timing of this revision might affect perceptions — old comparisons get messy, but the core takeaway is that <strong data-start="5111" data-end="5144">India’s growth remains robust</strong>, solidly ahead of most advanced economies, and underpinned by <em data-start="5207" data-end="5235">actual output and spending</em>, not just guesswork.</p>
<p data-start="5298" data-end="5597">If you love numbers like a Stark loves tech or Musk loves disruption, here’s the kicker: this growth comes despite global uncertainties and external pressures, including tariff shocks and currency market gyrations. That’s not just resilience, that’s swagger.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="1csgze6" data-start="5599" data-end="5639"><strong data-start="5603" data-end="5639">What’s next on the growth runway</strong></h3>
<p data-start="5641" data-end="5948">Forecasts now pin <strong data-start="5659" data-end="5696">FY26 growth at around 7.6 percent,</strong> slightly higher than earlier expectations. And for FY27, economists are looking at somewhere between <strong data-start="5800" data-end="5820">7 and 7.4 percent</strong>, indicating that the powerful engine of India’s economy isn’t cooling off anytime soon.</p>
<p data-start="5950" data-end="6184">This isn’t a hype-driven rally flag. It’s a measured climb based on <strong data-start="6018" data-end="6046">real structural strength </strong>manufacturing that’s actually producing, consumers who are spending, and a services sector that stays relevant in the global landscape.</p>
<p data-start="6186" data-end="6456">So yeah, call it bullish if you want. Call it data-driven confidence. But when you see a GDP print like this, accurate, revised, and resilient, you’ve gotta give it its due. India’s economic story still has plenty of steam left.</p>

        <title>India EU Most Favoured Nation Boosts Trade Power</title>

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/india-eu-most-favoured-nation-boosts-trade-power</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-28T182612.561.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="India EU-pnn" decoding="async"></p><p data-start="922" data-end="1274"><strong>New Delhi [India], February 28:</strong> India and the European Union just delivered a solid dose of business certainty, they’re going to treat each other as <a href="https://www.wto.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong data-start="1040" data-end="1070">Most Favoured Nation (MFN)</strong></a> for the next five years as part of the long-awaited free trade agreement. And yeah, this is actually a big deal for exporters, importers, and anyone who cares about reliable, non-political business news.</p>
<p data-start="1276" data-end="1435">Let’s break down what this means, why it matters right now, and how it’s going to shape India’s role in global trade, all in plain terms, no jargon, no fluff.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="1picogo" data-start="1437" data-end="1485"><strong data-start="1441" data-end="1485">What “Most Favoured Nation” Really Means</strong></h3>
<p data-start="1487" data-end="1840">First off, the MFN status isn’t just buzzwords. It’s a straight-up trade commitment that says: if India or the EU gives better tariff treatment to another country, they must offer that same treatment to each other — for five years once the agreement’s in effect. That’s a stability promise, not a short-term gamble.</p>
<p data-start="1842" data-end="2176">So, practically, if Brussels signs a sweetheart deal tomorrow with another trading partner and offers them lower import costs, India gets the same deal. And vice versa. That means <strong data-start="2024" data-end="2081">no sudden tariff surprises, no last-minute curveballs, </strong>and that’s the kind of certainty business folks crave.</p>
<p data-start="2178" data-end="2442">In trade lingo, MFN is a core principle of the World Trade Organization. It’s meant to avoid discrimination but locking it in <em data-start="2304" data-end="2317">bilaterally</em> for five years is extra reassurance that both sides mean stable, predictable commerce.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="18d0ktz" data-start="2582" data-end="2621"><strong data-start="2586" data-end="2621">Why It’s a Big Win for Business</strong></h3>
<p data-start="2623" data-end="2735">Okay, this part deserves some hype — not hype as in <em data-start="2675" data-end="2698">irrational excitement</em>, but “this actually matters” energy.</p>
<p data-start="2737" data-end="3158">India and the EU represent a massive chunk of the global economy when you put them together — four billion people, trillions in combined GDP, and millions of businesses trading goods and services. And granting each other MFN status is like agreeing to play by the same set of rules for <strong data-start="3023" data-end="3043">five solid years</strong>. That’s stability, and businesses like stability more than flashy headlines.</p>
<p data-start="3160" data-end="3456">Exporters across textiles, leather, handicrafts, gems and jewellery, and chemicals will feel this. Why? Because duty predictability means they can plan production, negotiate contracts, and commit to markets with more confidence. No guesswork. No “will this change in six months?” anxiety.</p>
<p data-start="3458" data-end="3708">Even services, businesses, IT consultancies, engineering firms, and finance providers get a clearer path to operate in the EU market, since they’ll be treated no worse than any other nation’s firms in tariff terms.</p>
<p data-start="3710" data-end="3871">And let’s be honest, predictability beats volatility. Anyone who’s ever tried to plan a budget while tariffs flip-flop in global trade knows exactly what I mean.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="104jibg" data-start="3873" data-end="3916"><strong data-start="3877" data-end="3916">What the Deal Includes: Beyond MFN</strong></h3>
<p data-start="3918" data-end="3981">But the pact isn’t just about this five-year tariff commitment.</p>
<p data-start="3983" data-end="4231">Both sides have agreed <strong data-start="4006" data-end="4057">not to impose new import or export restrictions</strong> beyond existing WTO rules. That’s essentially a no-shock pact: you can’t spring something on me that’s outside agreed global standards.</p>
<p data-start="4233" data-end="4477">There’s also talk in the draft about cutting red tape, aligning certification standards, and streamlining customs clearance — which could mean goods move faster across borders without unnecessary hold-ups.</p>
<p data-start="4479" data-end="4728">On the <strong data-start="4486" data-end="4503">digital trade</strong> front, India and the EU have agreed to cooperate on making online transactions smoother, safer, and more predictable — not just physical goods crossing borders but digital services, too.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="1faq53t" data-start="4730" data-end="4759"><strong data-start="4734" data-end="4759">So What Happens Next?</strong></h3>
<p data-start="4761" data-end="5065">Here’s the realistic timeline: the deal has been draft-released, which means the <strong data-start="4842" data-end="4895">framework is public, the commitments are laid out,</strong> and businesses can already start planning. But it still needs ratification in both regions, formal approval in India and EU member states, before it’s legally binding.</p>
<p data-start="5067" data-end="5348">Once that’s done, the MFN treatment and other trade provisions will kick in. The hope is that the pact is operational by <strong data-start="5188" data-end="5202">early 2027</strong>, giving businesses time to line up logistics, contracts, and market strategies based on this new certainty.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="blzbq7" data-start="5350" data-end="5390"><strong data-start="5354" data-end="5390">What Business Leaders Are Saying</strong></h3>
<p data-start="5392" data-end="5492">There hasn’t been a coordinated press tour yet, but the vibes in the corridors of commerce are good.</p>
<p data-start="5494" data-end="5841">Exporters see a <strong data-start="5510" data-end="5544">clear avenue to bigger markets</strong>, importers see <strong data-start="5560" data-end="5594">predictability in tariff costs</strong>, and global analysts see this as a sign that India is doubling down on <strong data-start="5666" data-end="5737">open trade and cooperation rather than unpredictable tariff battles</strong>. That’s good news, given that many economies are oscillating between protectionism and strategic tariff moves.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="7ykyam" data-start="5843" data-end="5866"><strong data-start="5847" data-end="5866">The Bottom Line</strong></h3>
<p data-start="5868" data-end="6039">This isn’t a half-baked memorandum. India and the EU agreeing to give each other Most Favoured Nation treatment for five years is a <strong data-start="6000" data-end="6038">huge signal of business confidence</strong>.</p>
<p data-start="6041" data-end="6241">It says: let’s keep commerce stable, let’s respect each other’s markets, let’s cut out surprises, and let businesses on both sides know what the rules will be for a good stretch of time.</p>
<p data-start="6243" data-end="6409">That’s not just smart business. That’s the kind of deal that gets boardrooms talking confidently and CFOs scratching out worst-case scenarios from their spreadsheets.</p>
<p data-start="6411" data-end="6578">And honestly, in a world where trade uncertainty feels almost normal, five years of MFN clarity feels like a breath of fresh air.</p>

        <title>Natural Wellness, The Right Way — A Special Report on Huda Herbal</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/natural-wellness-the-right-way-a-special-report-on-huda-herbal</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/natural-wellness-the-right-way-a-special-report-on-huda-herbal</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p>In a time where almost every health concern is met with the promise of an “instant solution,” a few brands choose to step away from the noise and follow a different philosophy. <a href="https://thehudaherbal.com/" rel="nofollow">Huda Herbal</a> is one of them—a name that believes not in quick fixes, but in slow, sustainable improvement.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Thought That Evolved Over Time</h2>
<p>Huda Herbal did not begin as a response to a market trend or gap. It was built on a simple understanding: health issues don’t develop overnight, and they cannot be resolved overnight either. According to the brand, terms like “fast results” and “instant effects” may sound appealing, but they often mislead the body. Moving away from this approach, Huda Herbal chose to return to natural ingredients—ones the body recognizes, accepts, and works with.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Beyond Weight Loss: Focusing on Balance</h2>
<p>While most products emphasize “losing weight,” Huda Herbal approaches the issue differently. The brand believes weight gain is not just about overeating—it is often linked to metabolism, digestion, and lifestyle. That’s why their formulations include ingredients like green tea, amla, triphala, black musli, and garcinia— chosen not to force results, but to restore balance gradually. Their impact works on multiple levels:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Supports better metabolism</li>
<li>Helps reduce unnecessary hunger and cravings</li>
<li>Assists the body in naturally burning fat</li>
<li>Maintains energy levels without causing weakness</li>
</ul>
<p>Importantly, these formulations are free from chemicals and steroids.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Digestion: The Foundation of Health</h2>
<p>Today, issues like gas, bloating, and heaviness have become so common that many people no longer consider them serious. Huda Herbal emphasizes a key principle: if digestion is not functioning well, no system in the body can function properly. With this in mind, their digestive formulation includes familiar kitchen ingredients such as ajwain, hing, ginger, cumin, lemon, and black salt—along with Ayurvedic herbs like noni fruit, harad, baheda, and raisins. The effects are gradual, yet clearly noticeable:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Relief from gas and bloating</li>
<li>Improved digestion</li>
<li>A lighter feeling in the stomach</li>
<li>Support in long-standing digestive issues</li>
</ul>
<p>There are no harsh or sudden effects—only steady balance.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Diabetes Management: Support, Not Pressure</h2>
<p>Managing blood sugar is a long-term and sensitive process. Huda Herbal does not present it as a “miracle cure.” Instead, the formulation uses traditional ingredients like neem, karela (bitter gourd), and jamun—trusted in households for generations. Its purpose is to:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Help maintain balanced blood sugar levels</li>
<li>Support metabolic function</li>
<li>Work gradually and safely</li>
<li>Be suitable for long-term use</li>
</ul>
<p>Rather than forcing the body, it works in harmony with it.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Choose the Natural Path?</h2>
<p>Many products in the market promise quick results but rely on chemicals and artificial ingredients that may harm the body over time. Huda Herbal takes a different route:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>No chemicals</li>
<li>No false promises</li>
<li>Only natural, effective ingredients</li>
<li>An approach aligned with the body’s natural processes</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Small Changes, Meaningful Impact</h2>
<p>Perhaps the most distinctive aspect of the brand is its simplicity. It does not ask for drastic changes. Instead, it encourages choosing the right things—slowly and mindfully. These formulations are a reflection of that philosophy:</p> ]]></description>

<div><strong>New Delhi [India], February 28:</strong> In a strong call for integrated and scalable action on water security, the India Water Foundation, United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP), UN-Habitat, and UNESCO, successfully convened a high-level side event titled “Accelerating SDG 6 through science-based solutions and enabling frameworks across the Water–Climate Nexus” during the 13th Asia-Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development (APFSD).</div>
<div></div>
<div>Held in hybrid mode from 12:45–13:45 hrs, the session brought together global experts, policymakers, and development practitioners to address the urgent need to move from fragmented pilot initiatives toward systemic, scalable solutions for achieving Sustainable Development Goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) across the Asia-Pacific region. Delivering a key intervention, Dr. Arvind Kumar, President, India Water Foundation, stressed that the core challenge is no longer the lack of ideas but the failure to scale proven solutions.</div>
<div></div>
<div>He emphasized three decisive levers: Integrated water–climate–urban–ecosystem frameworks; Innovative and blended finance mechanisms; Operational multi-stakeholder partnerships. Drawing on India’s experience, Dr. Kumar noted that embedding basin-level planning, ecosystem solutions, and demand management can significantly reduce climate risks across agriculture, cities, and natural systems. He also highlighted the massive climate finance gap in developing Asia, calling for blended finance, green-blue bonds, and outcome-linked public-private partnerships to make water projects bankable.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Opening the session, Mr Engin Koncagul, Senior Programme Specialist. UNESCO underscored that the region faces intensifying climate pressures, ecosystem degradation, and widening financing gaps, emphasizing that progress now depends less on isolated interventions and more on linking science, policy, and finance into coherent action frameworks. Ms Mikiko Tanaka, Director & Head, SSWA Office, UN ESCAP (Moderator) highlighted sobering regional trends. Experts like Mr. Tarik Hassan, Regional Coordinator, – Groundwater Cooperation and Climate Resilience UNESCO Regional Office, Bangkok; Mr Anshuman Varma, Economic Affairs Officer, Environment and Development Policy Section; Mr Avi Sarkar, Head, Lao PDR Regional Advisor, South-East Asia, UN-Habitat; Prof. Li Yalong, Director, Changjiang Water Resources Commission; Mr Rongkun Liu, Water Policy Specialist, ICIMOD, Presentations noted that the Asia-Pacific region is lagging on most SDG 6 targets, with severe ecosystem degradation including the loss or deterioration of nearly 80% of inland wetlands and 70% of mangroves. Rapid groundwater depletion, fragmented governance, and limited data sharing were identified as major structural barriers.</div>
<div></div>
<div>They stressed the growing importance of nature-based solutions such as wetland restoration, sponge cities, and blue carbon ecosystems in strengthening water security, regulating flows, improving water quality, and buffering climate risks. Case studies from Southeast Asia demonstrated how community-centred wetland restoration and climate-resilient urban planning can deliver multiple benefits for livelihoods, biodiversity, and disaster risk reduction. UN-Habitat highlighted the importance of institutional capacity, GIS-based planning, and inclusive local participation especially gender-responsive approaches for successful scaling.</div>
<div></div>
<div>The session converged on a clear message: achieving SDG 6 in the Asia-Pacific requires policy coherence, data harmonization, sustainable finance, and cross-border cooperation, particularly for groundwater and shared river basins. Participants underscored the need for: Stronger River basin institutions and data-sharing protocols; Integrated early warning systems; Nature-based infrastructure at scale; Regional observatories and open data platforms; Whole-of-government and whole-of-society partnerships</div>
<div></div>
<div>The side event concluded with a shared commitment to translate global frameworks into actionable national and city-level pathways, ensuring that water remains central to climate resilience, inclusive development, and ecosystem health. The India Water Foundation reaffirmed its role as a convenor and knowledge bridge across the water–energy–environment nexus and called for deeper regional collaboration to accelerate progress toward SDG 6 by 2030.</div> ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-28-2-26-1-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="QGroup" decoding="async"></p><p><em>Sliq Group Launched to Build Digital Products from India for Global Markets</em></p>
<p><strong><span data-sheets-root="1">Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 28: </span>A Swedish billion-dollar global technology collective</strong> is making its move into India’s product engineering landscape. Operating across more than 15 countries, <strong>QGroup </strong>has partnered with <strong>Indian technology entrepreneur Deepak Kumar Choubey</strong> to launch <strong>Sliq Group (Software Labs India with QGroup),</strong> a new <strong>IT venture </strong>aimed at building globally competitive digital products from India.</p>
<p>The partnership brings together <strong>Mikael Kretz, Hakan Pa</strong><strong>ulsson, and Jon Carvell, Founder and Executive Director at QGroup</strong>, and <strong>Deepak Choubey,</strong> an IIT Madras alum with experience spanning organisations from <strong>CERN</strong> to multiple Indian enterprises. Under the name <strong>Software Labs India with QGroup (SLI</strong><strong>Q Group),</strong> the new entity represents a formal re-entry into India’s product engineering and digital experience ecosystem.</p>
<p>Unlike traditional IT services firms that dominate India’s technology sector, <strong>Sliq Group</strong> is positioning itself as a <strong>product-focused company.</strong> The emphasis is on experience-led engineering, product thinking, and scalable digital platforms built <strong>for long-term business impact</strong>.</p>
<p>“We saw a strong alignment in Deepak’s vision. He is not only building technology but crafting experiences that feel intuitive and transformative. This is the kind of strategic thinking we want to bring into the Indian market,” <strong>Mikael said.</strong></p>
<p>The partnership addresses what the founders see as a critical gap in India’s technology landscape. While the country has established itself as a global hub for software development and engineering talent, areas like product craftsmanship, user experience design, and integrated product strategy remain underdeveloped relative to the scale of the market.</p>
<p><strong>Deepak,</strong> who previously held leadership roles at Schbang Tech and SchbangQ (an international joint venture) and worked on technology projects at CERN, <strong>brings a background that spans both global research institutions and Indian enterprises</strong>. He is also the founder of EpitomeAI, an AI automation startup, and has been selected for Draper University’s <strong>Silicon Valley accelerator programme</strong>. Earlier in his career, he worked with ITC and ICICI Bank.</p>
<p>“India has proven its strength in large-scale execution. However, building enduring digital products requires clarity in strategy, depth in design, and a strong understanding of the user’s digital behaviour. <strong>Sliq Group</strong> exists to strengthen this layer for businesses that want to compete globally,” <strong>Deepak said.</strong></p>
<p>The company’s collective community plans to invest roughly up to <strong>$2.5 million</strong> over the<strong> next three years</strong> to build AI-powered tools and digital platforms designed to fast-track operations and improve time-to-market for clients. The roadmap also includes team expansion and potential acquisitions of boutique product and technology firms in India.</p>
<p><strong>Sliq Group’s</strong> approach combines what it describes as <strong>Scandinavian design</strong> sensibilities from <strong>QGroup </strong>with <strong>Indian engineering scale, speed, and problem-solving capabilities</strong>. The service offerings span product strategy and design, e-commerce & SaaS solutions, AI-powered workflow solutions, full-stack application development, enterprise digital transformation, and legacy system modernisation.</p>
<p>The target market includes growth-stage startups, mid-market companies, and enterprises looking to strengthen their product capabilities. The partnership reflects a broader trend toward what industry observers call India in-sourcing, where world-class digital products are conceived, designed, and engineered in India for global markets rather than simply executed to offshore specifications.</p>
<p><strong>QGroup’s</strong>, a part of Nexer Group, manages a portfolio of several technology-focused companies delivering digital platforms and services worldwide. The collective’s focus into India through this partnership signals growing confidence in the country’s ability to move up the value chain in global technology markets.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-27-2-26-3.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="MITRAJ" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>Surat (Gujarat) [India], February 28: </strong>MITRAJ Sarvajanik Institute of Design, Planning and Technology (MITRAJ-IDPT), managed by Sarvajanik Education Society and Sarvajanik University, has emerged as a dynamic center of academic excellence with experienced faculty, a global curriculum, and various international projects.</p>
<p>According to the Chairman of Sarvajanik Education Society, Shri Ashish Vakil, MITRAJ-IDPT—one of Gujarat’s premier design institutes offering courses in Architecture, Interior Design, Fine Arts, and Planning—oeganized a Multidisciplinary International Conference titled,<strong>“Designing Identities: Intersections of Art, Architecture, Culture, Religion, Science, Technology & Society”</strong></p>
<p>The conference was held from 25th to 27th February 2026.</p>
<p>The inaugural ceremony took place on 25th February at 9:00 AM at Tara-Moti Hall, located within the Sarvajanik Education Society campus, in the presence of office bearers of Sarvajanik Education Society, distinguished national and international guests, and keynote speakers from various European countries.</p>
<p>According to Prof. Persi Engineer, Principal of MITRAJ-IDPT and Conference Chair, during the first two days, ten speakers from six European countries presented global perspectives on art, architecture, culture, and religion.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-70411 aligncenter" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-27-2-26-1-1.jpg" alt="MITRAJ " width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p>In the afternoon sessions, paper presentations by national and international students, academicians, and researchers were organized under three major tracks:</p>
<p><strong>Track 1:</strong> Socio-Cultural Praxis</p>
<p><strong>Track 2:</strong> Science, Technology & Media</p>
<p><strong>Track 3:</strong> Business, Management & Education</p>
<p>Dr. Kiran Pandya, Provost of Sarvajanik University, added that this international conference aimed to explore how art, architecture, culture, religion, science, and technology—though seemingly distinct—interact to shape society and culture today and in the future. Experts from India and abroad will deliver lectures, present research papers, and participate in panel discussions to derive meaningful conclusions and recommendations.</p>
<p>MITRAJ-IDPT is also working under the European Union’s Erasmus+ project titled, “InEq-SL – Fostering Inclusive and Equitable Quality Education to Stimulate Lifelong Sustainable Learning Opportunities for HEIs in India.”</p>
<p>This three-year collaborative research project, led by MITRAJ-IDPT in partnership with five universities, focuses on promoting inclusive and quality higher education in India. The project has generated several recommendations for expanding and implementing equitable higher education opportunities. During the research, it became evident that barriers to inclusive education are deeply interconnected with social, cultural, economic, religious, artistic, and technological factors. One of the core objectives of the conference is to deliberate on these challenges and identify actionable solutions.</p>
<p><strong>Conference Theme</strong></p>
<p>Historically, art, architecture, culture, and religion have shaped human identity. In the modern era, science, technology, markets, and public policy also play significant roles. In the 21st century, identity formation extends beyond monuments and rituals. Markets, algorithms, media, finance, public policy, and science equally influence how societies imagine their futures.</p>
<p>Amid rapid urbanization and digital transformation, it is essential to rethink the roles of heritage, spirituality, science, and creativity. The conference aims to bring diverse disciplines together to examine both tangible and intangible dimensions of identity and promote dialogue toward building a sustainable and inclusive future.</p>
<p>In essence, the conference seeks to understand the relationship between art, architecture, culture, religion, science, technology, and society, remove developmental barriers, and outline pathways toward a sustainable, equitable, and humane world.</p>
<p><strong>Objectives of the Conference</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>To explore how art, architecture, culture, and religion have historically shaped identity, heritage, and social structures.</li>
<li>To examine how cross-cultural interactions have influenced sacred art, architecture, and social life.</li>
<li>To address contemporary challenges such as globalization, urbanization, sustainability, and digital transformation.</li>

<p>By 2023, Aadhaar had enrolled 1.37 billion people—approximately 94% of the population—making it the largest biometric database in human history. The Unified Payments Interface (UPI) now processes over 13 billion transactions monthly, more than all other real-time payment systems in the world combined. DigiLocker stores 6.5 billion documents. CoWIN managed 2.2 billion COVID-19 vaccination records.</p>
<p>India’s Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) has become a global model. More than 50 countries have studied India’s approach. The G20 endorsed DPI as a priority for global development. The World Bank has called it ‘a global public good.’ Countries from Singapore to Brazil to Kenya have adopted elements of India’s architecture.</p>
<p>India has already proven that it can build AI at scale, now the focus remains on using AI ethically.</p>
<p><strong>The Seven Sutras: Principles Without Practice</strong></p>
<p>In November 2025, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology released India’s AI Governance Guidelines, built around seven principles it called the ‘Seven Sutras.’ These are substantial commitments, carefully articulated and thoughtfully designed:</p>
<ol>
<li>Trust as Foundation: AI systems must be trustworthy—transparent, explainable, and reliable.</li>
<li>People First: Human wellbeing must be the primary objective of AI development.</li>
<li>Innovation over Restraint: Regulation should enable innovation rather than stifle it.</li>
<li>Fairness and Equity: AI must not discriminate or produce biased outcomes.</li>
<li>Accountability: Clear lines of responsibility for AI decisions and outcomes.</li>
<li>Understandable by Design: AI decisions must be explainable to affected individuals.</li>
<li>Safety, Resilience, Sustainability: AI must be safe, robust, and environmentally responsible.</li>
</ol>
<p>Though these principles are a step in the right direction, a lot needs to be done when it comes to putting these into practice.</p>
<p>“The gap between principle and practice is where people die. We have excellent principles. What we lack is architecture—the computational infrastructure that transforms principles into constraints that algorithms cannot violate.” a technology analyst working in the domain explained.</p>
<p><strong>The Angelic Intelligence Framework</strong></p>
<p>The Angelic Intelligence framework offers a specific methodology for translating the Seven Sutras from aspirations into implementations. Each sutra maps to specific agents with defined responsibilities:</p>
<p>The ‘People First’ sutra finds expression through Karuna (compassion), Maitri (friendship), and Raksha (protection)—agents specifically tasked with ensuring human wellbeing takes precedence over efficiency metrics. Karuna would have asked about Santoshi’s situation before denying her ration card. Raksha would have prevented Adil from receiving delivery assignments that endangered his life.</p>
<p>The ‘Fairness and Equity’ sutra finds expression through Nyaya (justice) and Sama (equanimity)—agents specifically designed to detect and prevent discrimination. Nyaya would have flagged the facial recognition system’s racial bias before it imprisoned innocent Muslims. Sama would have identified caste bias in training data before it was deployed.</p>
<p>The ‘Accountability’ sutra finds expression through multi-agent architecture itself, where every decision involves multiple perspectives with immutable audit trails. When an algorithm recommends denying benefits, Karuna’s objection and Satya’s verification are permanently recorded. Accountability is not an afterthought but an architectural requirement.</p>
<p>The ‘Safety’ sutra finds expression through Raksha (protection) and Sahana (patience)—agents whose purpose is to prevent harm before it occurs. Sahana would have prevented the 10-minute delivery promise that killed Adil. Raksha would have identified collection practices that were driving borrowers to suicide.</p>
<p><strong>The IndiaAI Mission: Building Blocks for Transformation</strong></p>
<p>In March 2024, the Union Cabinet approved the IndiaAI Mission with a budget of ₹10,372 crore (approximately $1.25 billion) over five years. The mission encompasses seven pillars that, taken together, could provide the infrastructure for ethical AI at national scale:</p>
<p><strong>Pillar 1 —</strong> AI Compute Capacity: Building 10,000+ GPU clusters accessible to Indian researchers and startups. This compute capacity could run the multi-agent systems that ethical AI requires. Running 27 Angels in parallel for every decision requires substantial computing power—the IndiaAI Mission could provide it.</p>
<p><strong>Pillar 2 —</strong> AI Innovation Centre: Developing indigenous AI models optimized for Indian languages and contexts. These models could be designed from inception with virtue-based architectures, encoding ethical reasoning into their foundational layers rather than adding constraints afterward.</p>
<p><strong>Pillar 3 —</strong> AI Datasets Platform: Creating a unified repository of high-quality data reflecting India’s diversity. This dataset could be curated specifically to avoid encoding the discriminatory patterns—caste bias, religious prejudice, gender discrimination—that have infected existing systems. Training data determines model behaviour; ethical training data produces ethical models.</p>
<p><strong>Pillar 4 —</strong> AI Application Development: Building AI applications in healthcare, agriculture, education, and governance. These are precisely the domains where ethical AI is most critical—where algorithmic decisions affect whether patients receive treatment, farmers get credit, students access education, and citizens receive benefits.</p>
<p><strong>Pillar 5 —</strong> AI FutureSkills: Training 1 million Indians in AI by 2028. This workforce could be trained not just in technical skills but in ethical reasoning—understanding how to build systems that embody virtue, how to detect discriminatory patterns, how to design for human flourishing.</p>
<p><strong>Pillar 6 —</strong> AI Startup Financing: Providing grants, loans, and equity for AI ventures. This financing could prioritize startups building ethical AI, creating economic incentives for virtue-based development rather than extraction-focused optimization.</p>
<p><strong>Pillar 7 —</strong> Safe and Trusted AI: Establishing governance frameworks, testing protocols, and certification standards. This pillar could certify AI systems against Angelic Intelligence standards—verifying that systems embody the virtues they claim, that multi-agent deliberation actually occurs, that ethical constraints cannot be bypassed.</p>
<p>Though these goals are a step in the right direction, this cannot be done without Angelic Intelligence.</p>
<p>“The IndiaAI Mission is building the hardware. Angelic Intelligence provides the software—the ethical operating system that transforms computational power into human flourishing.” <a href="http://www.shekharnatarajan.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shekhar Natarajan</a>, the founder and CEO of Orchestro.AI, explains.</p>

        <title>From Jaipur to Global Top 50: The Local Roots of the World’s Most Viral Song</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/from-jaipur-to-global-top-50-the-local-roots-of-the-worlds-most-viral-song</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/from-jaipur-to-global-top-50-the-local-roots-of-the-worlds-most-viral-song</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-28T142121.818.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="From Jaipur to Global Top 50: The Local Roots of the World’s Most Viral Song-PNN"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 28</strong>: While the world was looking at Mumbai’s glitz or Delhi’s high-octane rap scene for the next big thing, the “Pink City” just quietly pulled off a global heist. Deep in the heart of Rajasthan, away from the flashing lights of major labels, a 25-year-old artist has done what millions of marketing dollars often fail to do.</p>
<p>Navjot Ahuja, a homegrown singer-songwriter from Jaipur, has seen his track “Khat” (The Letter) skyrocket to unprecedented heights.</p>
<p>It is a moment of immense regional pride. This isn’t just a win for an artist; it’s a win for the lanes of Jaipur, proving that a melody crafted in a local home studio can beat tracks coming out of massive commercial facilities.</p>
<h2><strong>The Global Village Loves Local Flavor</strong></h2>
<p>In a world that is becoming increasingly digital and fast-paced, the irony of “Khat”’s success is hard to ignore. We live in an era of 15-second “vibe” videos, yet the world is currently obsessed with a slow-burn acoustic ballad about a physical letter. The song’s power lies in its “Local Sensibilities.”</p>
<p>There is a certain “Sukoon” (peace) in the way Navjot sings, a quality often found in the intimate indie gigs of Jaipur’s cafe culture, that has resonated across borders.</p>
<p>The data confirms a historic takeover. <strong><em>“Khat” was #1 on the Daily Viral Global Songs Top 50 for 30 days and counting</em></strong>, setting the record for the longest any Indian Artist has ever held this title.</p>
<p>The current chart (as of Feb 2026) dominance includes:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>#1 Viral 50: Global (Spotify)</strong></li>
<li><strong>#1 Viral 50: India (Spotify)</strong></li>
<li><strong>#1 Viral 50: Pakistan (Spotify)</strong></li>
<li><strong>#1 Viral 50: UAE (Spotify)</strong></li>
<li><strong>#4 Top 50: India (Spotify)</strong></li>
<li><strong>#5 Top 50: Pakistan (Spotify)</strong></li>
<li><strong>#10 Top 100: India (Apple Music)</strong></li>
<li><strong>#13 Hot 100: India (Billboard)</strong></li>
<li><strong>#13 Top 200: India (Shazam)</strong></li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>A 14-Year “Overnight” Journey</strong></h2>
<p>To the global listener, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/navjot_ahuja/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Navjot Ahuja</a> might seem like a sudden miracle. But for those in the Jaipur indie circuit, he is a familiar face who has been grinding for 14 years. “Khat” is Navjot’s 26th song. It is the result of a decade of writing, performing at small local venues, and refining a sound that refuses to follow trends. Ahuja has taken an almost ‘anti-popstar’ stance. By keeping the focus strictly on the composition rather than the creator, he has allowed ‘Khat’ to become a universal anthem, one where the listener’s own story takes center stage over the artist’s image.</p>
<h2><strong>Peak Lyricism: When an Atheist Writes a Prayer</strong></h2>
<p>The heart of the song’s virality isn’t a dance step or a catchy beat; it’s the poetry. Written by a self-proclaimed atheist, the lyrics explore a “hidden spirituality” in love that has left the internet in tears. The lines that are currently being shared by millions:</p>
<p><em>“<strong>Main khuda mein maanu nahi, par maangu dua tere liye…</strong>“</em><br>
(I don’t believe in God, but I still pray for you…)</p>
<p><em>“<strong>Kaagaz ke phool laau tere liye, Khat likhu tere liye…</strong>“</em><br>
(I’ll bring you paper flowers, and write you letters…)</p>
<p>These aren’t just lyrics; they are a cultural contrast. In a world of “seen” and “read receipts,” Navjot brings back the romance of the permanent word. He even sings about painting his walls blue just because his lover liked the color; a level of detail that makes the song feel like a personal conversation between two people, rather than a mass-market product. He talks about bringing paper flowers for his beloved because paper flowers don’t wither with time, just like his love for her won’t….</p>
<h2><strong>The Death of the Music Video?</strong></h2>
<p>Perhaps the most disruptive part of this story is that “Khat” has reached these heights with no music video. There are no models, no foreign locations, and no high-speed car chases.</p>
<p>With <strong>nearly 50 million combined streams across platforms like Spotify and YouTube Music</strong>, “Khat” is a loud message to the industry: The “Music Video Era” is being challenged. People are craving honest storytelling more than they are craving high-definition visuals. The audience is building their own videos in their heads while listening to Navjot’s voice.</p>
<h2><strong>The Verdict</strong></h2>
<p>From Jaipur’s heritage walls to the top of the global charts, “Khat” is a testament to the power of staying true to one’s roots. Navjot Ahuja didn’t try to sound like a pop star from the West; he sounded like a storyteller from Jaipur. And as it turns out, that was exactly what the world wanted to hear.</p>
<p>The song has bridged the gap between India and Pakistan, put Jaipur on the global indie map, and rightfully earned him a spot on the cover of INDIE INDIA. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the most revolutionary thing an artist can do is be quiet, be honest, and just write a letter</p>

        <title>Sterling Hospitals Sindhubhavan Unit Spearheads Cancer Awareness Walkathon with Rotary Club</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/sterling-hospitals-sindhubhavan-unit-spearheads-cancer-awareness-walkathon-with-rotary-club-16102</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/sterling-hospitals-sindhubhavan-unit-spearheads-cancer-awareness-walkathon-with-rotary-club-16102</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-26-2-26-1-5.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Sterling Hospitals"></p><p><strong><span>Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], February 27:</span> </strong>Sterling Hospitals, in collaboration with the Rotary Club, successfully organized a Cancer Awareness Walkathon to promote awareness about early detection and timely treatment of cancer. Nearly 500 participants took part in the walk, which commenced from Sterling Hospital’s Sindhubhavan Unit. The event was held between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM and witnessed enthusiastic participation from healthcare professionals, Rotary members, cancer survivors and citizens committed to spreading the message that cancer can be cured if treated at the right time.</p>
<p>The walkathon aimed to create greater public awareness about cancer prevention, the importance of recognizing early symptoms and the need for regular health check-ups. Organizers emphasized that fear and lack of awareness often lead to delayed diagnosis, whereas timely medical consultation can significantly improve treatment outcomes.</p>
<p><strong>Mr. Santosh Marathe, MD & CEO, Sterling Hospitals</strong>, said<strong>,</strong> “Sterling Hospitals offers diagnosis, treatment, survivorship programs & palliative care under Oncology services. With advancements in oncology care, many cancers can be effectively treated and even cured, if diagnosed at the right stage. Through this walkathon, we wanted to reinforce the message that timely screening and medical intervention can truly save lives.”</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-101830" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-26-2-26-6.jpg" alt="Sterling Hospitals" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p>Highlighting the <strong>Sterling hospital’s</strong> continued commitment, <strong>Mr.</strong> <strong>Raman Bhaskar, Zonal Director, Ahmedabad Unit</strong>, <strong>Sterling Hospitals</strong>, stated, “The encouraging participation of nearly 500 citizens reflects the growing awareness in the community. Our Sindhubhavan Unit has been dedicated to providing comprehensive cancer care for several years and initiatives like this help us take the message of early detection and cure beyond hospital walls.”</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Prasad Muglikar, Group Medical Director, Sterling Hospitals Group</strong>, said, “Cancer care today goes beyond treatment. It is equally about awareness, prevention and early diagnosis. Initiatives like this walkathon help bridge the gap between medical knowledge and public understanding, encouraging people to seek timely consultations and adopt healthier lifestyles that can reduce cancer risk.”</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Pooja Nandwani Patel, Director – Radiation Oncology, Sterling Hospitals</strong>, added, “From a clinical perspective, early detection helps identify cancer cases at very early stages, thereby reducing the need for multiple treatments and significantly improving cancer cure rates while ensuring a good quality of life after treatment. Through community outreach efforts like this, we aim to educate citizens about the importance of screening and reassure them that with modern therapies and multidisciplinary care, cancer can be effectively managed.”</p>
<p><strong>Sterling Hospitals’ Sindhubhavan Unit</strong>, a dedicated cancer specific center operational for several years, continues to provide comprehensive oncology services including advanced diagnostics, medical oncology, surgical oncology and radiation oncology under one roof.</p>
<p>In urban cities like Ahmedabad, changing lifestyles and delayed health check-ups often contribute to late diagnoses. Sterling Hospital strongly urges citizens not to ignore persistent symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, prolonged cough, unusual lumps, abnormal bleeding or long-standing discomfort.</p>
<p>Regular screenings and preventive health check-ups play a vital role in identifying cancer at an early stage. More importantly, spreading the message that cancer is treatable and, in many cases, curable if addressed in time, is central to this initiative. The successful completion of the walkathon marked a significant step toward building a more informed and health-conscious Ahmedabad, reinforcing the belief that with awareness, regular screening and timely treatment, cancer can be effectively managed and, in many cases, cured.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-27-2-26-4.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="GetmyMettle"></p><p><em>Young India doesn’t wait for motivation. It schedules it.</em></p>
<p><span><strong>New Delhi [India], February 27:</strong> </span>Young India doesn’t chase “quick fixes.” It demands fuel that can keep up through early workouts, long office hours, lectures, commutes, and the kind of days that don’t slow down. In that world, nutrition has to be fast, clean, and credible. That is why <a href="https://getmymettle.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GetmyMettle</a> has been recognised with the award for Best Nutraceutical Brand for Young India. This milestone reflects both relevance and trust at scale, built under the umbrella of Founder & CEO, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-raghav-singhal-34893086/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Raghav Singhal</a>.</p>
<p>“This award is a vote of trust from a generation that expects nutrition to be simple, clean, and consistent,” says Dr. Raghav Singhal, Founder & CEO of GetmyMettle. “Young India is building careers and bodies in parallel, and you deserve fuel that fits your schedule without compromising on quality.</p>
<p>We started GetmyMettle to make performance nutrition easier to choose, easier to carry, and easier to stay with, whether you’re starting out or pushing personal bests. This recognition motivates us to keep raising our standards, expanding smarter formats, and delivering products you can rely on every day, for your workouts, workdays, and everything in between.”</p>
<p>The honour was announced during the Bharat Shining Conclave 2026 in New Delhi on 23 February 2026 at The Lalit Hotel, Barakhamba Road, with the Bharat Shining Awards & Recognition Ceremony.</p>
<h2>A Win Built on What Young Consumers Actually Need</h2>
<p>This award is not only about products. It is about understanding how young consumers live, train, study, and work today.</p>
<p>GetmyMettle’s approach is clear: bring performance nutrition and everyday convenience onto one platform. The brand offers energy bars, protein bars, peanut butters, and nutritional supplements together, positioning itself as a single destination for both smart snacking and sports nutrition.</p>
<h2>Where Protein Powders Meet Performance Nutrition</h2>
<p>For many people, the first nutrition upgrade starts with something simple, and protein powders are often the easiest place to begin. No complicated regimen, no major changes. Just a scoop that fits into what you already do.</p>
<p>GetmyMettle leans into formats that are easy to adopt and easy to stay consistent with, especially protein powders that slip into busy routines. Whether you mix it with water, blend it into a smoothie, or stir it into everyday recipes, the idea is to make protein feel approachable.</p>
<p>The brand positions its protein powders as “healthy & tasty” choices designed for daily use, so getting started with performance nutrition feels straightforward rather than overwhelming.</p>
<h2>A Wide Portfolio for Real Fitness Journeys</h2>
<p>Not everyone trains the same way. Not everyone has the same goals.</p>
<p>Alongside functional snacks, GetmyMettle also covers core sports-supplement categories such as protein powders, weight gainers, BCAAs, and pre-workouts. That breadth matters because “Young India” is not one audience; it is beginners, intermediates, serious lifters, runners, and people who just want to feel more energetic and consistent.</p>
<p>A portfolio that spans both everyday and performance needs helps a brand stay relevant across stages, not just moments.</p>
<h2>Built for Modern Preferences, Without Making it Complicated</h2>
<p>Young consumers don’t just care about outcomes. They care about what goes into the product and how it fits their personal choices.</p>
<p>Across its catalogue, GetmyMettle includes options positioned for modern dietary preferences, for example, peanut butter variants described as vegan and gluten-free where applicable, and supplement formats such as 100% veg capsules for certain products.</p>
<p>This “choice within the range” helps a brand serve a wider youth audience without turning product selection into a guessing game.</p>
<h2>Why “Best Nutraceutical Brand for Young India” Matters</h2>
<p>This is an award title that carries a very specific meaning.</p>
<p>Young India is not one segment. It is campus culture, first jobs, night shifts, weekend sports, marathon training, and everyday wellness in a fast-changing world. Winning in this category signals that a brand is keeping pace with shifting expectations, better ingredients, smarter formats, and a product experience that fits real schedules.</p>
<p>It also reflects a broader shift you can feel across the country: health is no longer an “afterthought” purchase. It is part of identity, performance, and confidence. Brands that make nutrition easier to understand and easier to follow are the ones that grow with the consumer, not just sell to them.</p>
<h2>Recognised on a National Platform</h2>
<p>The conclave describes itself as a national movement bringing together voices across sectors to co-create a roadmap for Bharat@2047.</p>
<p>Within that setting, recognising a youth-focused nutraceutical brand signals something bigger than one company’s success. It signals an expanding market where better nutrition is becoming mainstream, and where Indian brands are stepping up with stronger portfolios and clearer product quality.</p>
<h2>What’s Next for GetmyMettle</h2>
<p>Awards matter most when they become a starting line, not a finish line.</p>
<p>For GetmyMettle, this recognition strengthens the responsibility to keep innovating across formats and functional categories while staying anchored in quality. As young consumers raise the bar, the brands that win will be those that keep simplifying nutrition, keep earning trust, and keep delivering products that fit real life, day after day.</p>
<p>GetmyMettle’s Best Nutraceutical Brand for Young India win is a strong proof point of that direction, and a signal that performance-first nutrition in India is only getting bigger.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-28-2-26-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="CURRYiT"></p><p><em>Fresh momentum for the clean-label D2C brand simplifying everyday Indian cooking</em></p>
<p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 28: </strong>CURRYiT, the Delhi-based D2C food brand known for its clean-label convenience food products and curry pastes, has secured a ₹1.5 crore deal with Mohit Yadav, Co-founder of Minimalist, on Shark Tank India. The investment marks a significant milestone in the brand’s journey as it scales its mission to simplify home cooking without compromising on authenticity or taste.</p>
<p>Founded in 2022 by IIM Udaipur alumni and former YES Bank colleagues Richa Sharma and Nischal Kandula, CURRYiT was born out of a simple observation: while the love for home-cooked food remains strong, the time and effort required to prepare it often stand in the way. What started as a shared insight between two friends with a passion for food has today evolved into a fast-growing brand challenging legacy FMCG players in the ready-to-cook space.</p>
<p>CURRYiT offers a range of instant wet masalas, ready-to-cook curries, and briyani mixes for cooking any dish in 15 minutes. From dhaba-style Butter Masala to Chettinad Chicken Curry, the portfolio is built around traditional recipes that deliver familiar flavours while removing the hassle of chopping, measuring, and multi-step preparation.</p>
<p>The founders’ early research played a defining role in shaping the business. Speaking about the journey, Richa & Nischal share, “Every part of our lives has evolved- work, travel, communication but cooking at home? It still needed hours, help, and generational knowledge. We met hundreds of consumers and one thing was clear- people want to cook. They want real flavours. What they don’t have is the time, resources, or inherited skill set to manage the complexity that traditional Indian cooking demands. CURRYiT is built to bring cooking into the modern world.”</p>
<p>Over the years, the brand has built strong traction among busy millennials and food enthusiasts, while also seeing encouraging adoption across Tier II and Tier III markets. Today, CURRYiT’s portfolio spans 40+ SKUs, including curry pastes, Hyderabadi biryani paste, everyday cooking pastes such as ginger garlic paste, and preservative-free soups.</p>
<p>A key differentiator for the brand is its clean-label positioning. The company states that its products are FDA-approved, SPICE Board approved, and ISO-certified. Using advanced autoclave technology along with multi-layer vacuum-sealed packaging, CURRYiT achieves a 12-month shelf life without adding preservatives, ensuring both safety and flavour integrity.</p>
<p><strong><em>In the episode, Mohit Tandon, Co-founder, Minimalist & Guest Shark said,</em></strong><em> “There is immense potential in optimizing taste through a health-first lens. In today’s market, your content is your identity; it is the primary engine for building consumer trust. We saw a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between nostalgic, authentic flavors and clean nutrition. By closing the deal at a 45 Cr valuation, we are betting on the belief that authenticity doesn’t have to be sacrificed for health. This is how you build a legacy brand: one healthy, honest bite at a time.”</em></p>
<p><strong><em>Commenting on the Shark Tank milestone, founders Richa Sharma and Nischal Kandula remark,</em></strong><em> “Partnering with Mohit Yadav is a strong validation of what we are building at CURRYiT. Our focus has always been clear-real flavours, clean ingredients, and genuine convenience for everyday kitchens. This investment will help us accelerate product innovation, deepen our distribution, and take CURRYiT to many more homes in India and beyond.”</em></p>
<p>Financially, the company has demonstrated strong momentum, growing from ₹1.15 crore in FY24 to ₹5.8 crore in FY25, with a projected target of ₹20 crore in FY26. The Shark Tank deal is expected to further strengthen its distribution, brand visibility, and product pipeline.</p>
<p>Looking ahead, CURRYiT plans to expand into new product categories, deepen its presence across quick commerce and D2C channels, and prepare for international expansion. After encouraging early signals from the US market via Amazon FBA, the brand is evaluating entry into the Middle East, Singapore, Hong Kong, Canada, the UK, Germany, and the United States by 2026.</p>
<p>With a growing manufacturing base in Delhi and ongoing investments in automation and capacity, CURRYiT is positioning itself for the next phase of scale, taking on large FMCG incumbents with a sharp focus on clean, convenient, and culturally rooted food solutions</p>

        <title>Film Inspired by Sant Sri Neem Karoli Baba, Hanuman Ansh Set for June Release</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/film-inspired-by-sant-sri-neem-karoli-baba-hanuman-ansh-set-for-june-release</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/film-inspired-by-sant-sri-neem-karoli-baba-hanuman-ansh-set-for-june-release</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-124.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Film Inspired by Sant Sri Neem Karoli Baba, Hanuman Ansh Set for June Release-PNN"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 27: </strong>The journey of Hanuman Ansh began at Kainchi Dham, where the film’s poster received its first blessings. Prayers were later offered at his samadhi in Vrindavan, marking an emotional beginning in the very spaces that still carry his presence.</p>
<p>Presented by Swambhu Media Network, the film is a biopic on Sri Neem Karoli Baba, written and directed by Dr. Vishal Chaturvedi and produced by Ragini S, Namrata Singh, and Anupriya A Nagar. Scheduled for a worldwide release in June 2026, the film will be released in Hindi along with Braj and Bundeli, honouring the languages rooted in Maharaj ji’s early life.</p>
<p>Born as Lakshmi Narayan Sharma in Akbarpur, he later came to be lovingly known as Kambal Wale Baba. His ashrams in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand and across Uttar Pradesh continue to draw seekers from India and around the world.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-101996" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-1-73.jpg" alt="Film Inspired by Sant Sri Neem Karoli Baba, Hanuman Ansh Set for June Release-PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p>While earlier works often focused on Western devotees such as Ram Dass, Hanuman Ansh turns its attention to his formative years in India. It explores his childhood, his life as a householder, and the quiet moments that shaped his spiritual path. The team travelled extensively, speaking with families and living witnesses to ensure the story remains authentic and grounded.</p>
<p><strong>The Team Speaks</strong></p>
<p>“Maharajji never delivered a lecture, never showcased a miracle. He changed people in passing. I personally learned surrendering while writing and making this film.”</p>
<p>— Dr. Vishal Chaturvedi, Writer and Director</p>
<p>“I came to Maharajji not looking for anything. That is, I have since learned exactly how he prefers it. When this film came to me, I recognised it the way you recognise something you already knew. There was no decision to make.”</p>
<p>— Ragini S, Producer</p>
<p>“We are accountable to this story in a way that goes beyond craft. Every person on this production knows that. The intention in every frame must match the intention Maharajji brought to every encounter.”</p>
<p>— Namrata Singh, Producer</p>
<p>“I don’t see spirituality as something distant — it is something you live every day. This film reflects the kind of spirituality I believe in, one where love is expressed through action and seva becomes a natural way of life.”</p>
<p>— Anupriya A Nagar, Producer</p>
<p>From the spiritual energy of Kainchi Dham, known globally and visited by people from across the world, including Mark Zuckerberg, to the simplicity of his beginnings, Hanuman Ansh traces the sacred journey of a sant who continues to inspire millions.</p>
<p><strong>The film releases worldwide this June 2026.</strong></p>

Reports involving quasi-investment advisors in Korea jumped from 132 in 2018 to above 1,700 in 2024, and the UK’s FCA and US SEC have already taken similar steps.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Meanwhile, FG Nexus accumulated above 50,000 ETH at an average of roughly $3,860 during 2025’s highs. With ETH now hovering near $2,000, the firm’s share price has dropped about 52% in a single month. Even well-funded treasuries struggle when the thesis is price speculation without utility to fuel a token along.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Crypto investment opportunities in 2026 will reward projects with transparent, functional value. That’s the filter to use to identify the breakout altcoins worth keeping your eye on, starting with the ones that already have their tools ready to rumble, their utility proven, and their prices low enough to rise far higher. Look for that alchemy, and you’ll have spotted the best crypto to buy now.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Three crypto investment opportunities with fuel in the tank</h2>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">If you’ve ever discovered a rug pull about thirty seconds after your money disappears, you’ll know why DeepSnitch AI is such a powerful platform, built to prevent retail trader pain.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It’s an intelligence platform running five AI agents that scan, audit, and decode crypto markets in real time, built by expert on-chain analysts who know precisely what to look for as key insights.</p>
<p dir="ltr">And as of the v8 production update, the entire network has crossed from development into a fully operational, production-hardened product. There’s really no way to doubt these proven products.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The dashboard itself has been rebuilt for clarity under pressure, with sharper layouts, refined visual hierarchy, and polished interactions from login through to deep token analysis:</p>
<p dir="ltr">No clutter, no friction. The intel is there, all laid out cleanly, so it can be absorbed without a hitch.</p>
<p dir="ltr">According to recent development updates, SnitchGPT, one of the five AI agents that form part of the system, has received a cognitive upgrade of its own. It no longer just interrogates data, as it actually thinks. Ask it a general crypto question, a protocol concept, or a risk assessment, and it responds intelligently, grounded in live platform data.</p>
<p dir="ltr">That’s just one example that illustrates how interactive and powerful this platform really is. So, while it may seem wild that a token could rake in 1000x gains just after launch, keep in mind how unusual it is to see a presale platform this credible and powerful.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Staking is live, uncapped, and dynamic, so the more participants there are, the higher the APR for everyone. Due to launch in only a matter of days, DeepSnitch AI is the best crypto to buy now if you want to see high gains in the near future.</p>
<p dir="ltr">More precisely, it’s the best crypto to buy now in February, prior to making its anticipated moonshot launch, if you can see the value of a token with the utility to fuel it along like no other in the 2026 market. Among breakout altcoins, this level of live deployment, at this price point during presale, is essentially unheard of.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://youtu.be/HVnjHC08u_Y?si=fVFWtqeY7aqoiB74" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/HVnjHC08u_Y?si=fVFWtqeY7aqoiB74</a></p>
<ol start="2">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">Cardano</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Cardano has its teeth still, and it’s just seen a 17% surge to $0.305, backed by a 171% spike in trading volume to above $1 billion. This is from pure high-conviction spot buying, so money is rotating into altcoins with purpose.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If that volume holds, ADA could test $0.32 to $0.33 resistance. A fade below $0.295, however, risks a retrace toward $0.28.</p>
<p dir="ltr">All in all, ADA remains a strong momentum coin with clear buyer conviction, but if you’re after returns aligned with breakout altcoins, you’re not going to see that level of turnover here, based on market cap.</p>
<ol start="3">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">Hyperliquid</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Bitwise just acquired staking provider Chorus One, which supports HYPE, instantly leveling up the token’s institutional credibility. That acquisition, combined with a broader Bitcoin rally fueled by returning ETF inflows, pushed HYPE above 5% to roughly $28.75.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Holding above $27 support, a clean break above $30 is looking increasingly realistic. Still, the explosive early-entry chapter is over for HYPE at this point, even if it is among the best-performing mid-caps. It’s a solid, safe bet, but it’s not the type to rake in life-changing returns.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">The bottom line</h2>
<p dir="ltr">At $0.04146 with a full launch on the doorstep, an exchange listing ahead, and five AI agents already working, DeepSnitch AI really does stand out in 2026. It’s the best crypto to buy now, before February is through and launch arrives, if you want to see the best gains of a 1000x run.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With bonus codes briefly available, you can also take home more tokens, doubling down with a compounding effect on future returns. And when a token is set to make a moonshot, there are enormous potential returns that could come from bonus coins</p>
<p dir="ltr">Cement your position at the DeepSnitch AI presale on the <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-buy-now-ada-hype" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">official site</a> before the next stage ticks over, and follow <a href="https://x.com/deepsnitchai">X</a> and <a href="https://t.me/deepsnitchai">Telegram</a> for crucial updates from the team.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">What is the best crypto to buy now for 100x potential?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI combines live AI-powered tools with presale pricing at $0.04146, offering ground-floor entry before an imminent exchange listing. Among the best crypto to buy now, it’s rare to find a project with working products and this much room to run.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Is Cardano a good crypto investment opportunity in 2026?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">ADA’s 17% surge shows genuine buying conviction, and it remains a strong crypto investment opportunity. But its multi-billion-dollar valuation limits explosive upside. DeepSnitch AI is the best crypto to buy now because it offers breakout altcoin potential at a fraction of the price.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Why do strong momentum coins struggle to deliver moonshot returns?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Strong momentum coins like HYPE and ADA are reliable for consistent growth, but their large valuations cap the multiplier effect. DeepSnitch AI’s presale at $0.04146 has far more room for 100x-1000x gains, and the utility that’ll easily fuel such a remarkable run.</p>

<p><span data-sheets-root="1"><strong>New Delhi [India], February 27:</strong> </span>Narayana Educational Institutions recorded an exceptional performance in <strong>JEE Main 2026 (Session 1)</strong>, with <strong>three students securing a perfect 100 percentile</strong> and <strong>five emerging as State Toppers across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Goa</strong>, further strengthening its standing in competitive exam preparation.</p>

<p>Mahith, from Narayana Junior college, highlighted clarity and composure, noting, <em>“Inside the exam hall, I focused only on solving correctly — not on marks. The post-test discussions with faculty and quick revisions through the nLearn app modules strengthened my formula recall and confidence.”</em></p>

<p dir="ltr">ZELL Education’s mission and vision include the continuing development of learning partnerships worldwide, allowing for academic, industry, and student development.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Why Professional Finance Certifications Matter Today</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The worldwide labour market is changing so drastically that employers often prefer specialised skills over degrees. ACCA, CFA, CMA, FRM, and CPA are the standard tools used worldwide to measure excellence.</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">CMA and FRM are in particularly high demand due to their emphasis on practical applications of financial management, strategic decision-making, and risk analysis.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Businesses are looking for employees who can help them with both accounting and developing financial strategies to mitigate risks.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Zell Education understands this demand and has developed its programmes to meet industry standards.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h2 dir="ltr">ZELL Education: A Structured Approach to Career Success</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Education through ZELL is widely recognised as having a unique teaching model with a focus beyond examination preparation, as they include components of concept understanding, hands-on experience, and career development in its course offerings.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Benefits of ZELL include:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Structured study plans supporting working & studying adults</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Faculty members with real-world experience</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Live & recorded classes with interactivity built into the lectures</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Case studies are used to facilitate learning</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Mentorship & assistance with crafting/resolving questions</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Job placement and career development assistance are offered to students</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">A systematic approach to create an environment in which students who are prepared for CMA/FRM can also be prepared for the workforce.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">CMA: Building Strategic Financial Leaders</h2>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.zelleducation.com/blog/what-is-us-cma/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">CMA</a> is mainly targeted at individuals who wish to work in areas such as corporate finance, cost management, budgeting, and strategic decision-making.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Due to the increasing demand for qualified CMA professionals within multinational corporations, consulting firms, and rapidly growing businesses, the CMA programme has been developed with emphasis on:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Financial planning/analysis.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Cost control/performance management.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Internal controls.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Strategic Financial Management.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">The CMA programme offered by ZELL Education focuses on providing students with practical learning experiences, enabling them to analyse financial data, use that information to make business decisions, and assist in helping organisations grow.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Further, because of the flexibility of the CMA programme, graduates will find themselves able to complete the programme much more quickly than most other professional courses, making the CMA programme a popular choice for career-focused students.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">FRM: Shaping Experts in Risk Management</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Currently, <a href="https://www.zelleducation.com/blog/what-is-frm/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">FRM</a> is an essential component in every financial institution due to the uncertainty of the economy and the regulatory environment. The FRM designation is internationally recognised as a certification of an individual’s capability to assess and mitigate financial risk.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The FRM programme encompasses the areas of:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Market Risk</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Credit Risk</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Operational Risk</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Investment Risk</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Quantitative Analysis</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">With the ongoing complexity of the financial markets, organisations are searching for professionals who have an understanding of the methodologies associated with risk assessment and risk management. A large part of ZELL Education’s FRM coaching is comprised of providing students with the conceptual and analytical skills necessary to succeed in this field.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">ACCA and CPA: Global Accounting Credentials</h2>
<p dir="ltr">If you’re looking for a career in auditing, taxation, and International Financial Reporting Standards, obtaining the ACCA and CPA certifications can help you establish your credibility, as they are both globally recognised.</p>
<p dir="ltr">ZELL Education provides an organised framework for students wishing to gain their ACCA or CPA certification by providing programmes that will break down complex accounting standards to help students understand international financial reporting standards.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As a student at ZELL Education, you will have:</p>
<p dir="ltr">1. Comprehensive preparation for the exam</p>
<p dir="ltr">2. IFRS-specific training modules</p>
<p dir="ltr">3. Mock exams and revision strategies</p>
<p dir="ltr">4. Ongoing academic support</p>
<p dir="ltr">With these credentials, you will have access to potential employers such as large multinational corporations and the Big 4 accounting firms, as well as opportunities to fill leadership roles in finance departments.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">CFA: Excellence in Investment and Finance</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The CFA qualification is considered to be one of the highest recognised credentials in both investment management and financial analysis.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The CFA programme covers various financial topics, including:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Equity Research</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Portfolio Management</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Corporate Finance</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"> Financial Modeling</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Ethical Standards</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">ZELL Education’s CFA Preparation Program is designed to provide conceptual clarity and analytical reasoning. Students will receive step-by-step instruction and will be provided with all the necessary study materials to endure the rigours of completing the CFA programme.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">IFRS: Mastering Global Reporting Standards</h2>
<p dir="ltr">As companies grow internationally, it has become a necessity for companies to understand International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Therefore, ZELL Education provides alignment for both students and businesses as they are being trained in accounting to comply with their local and global compliance needs.</p>
<p dir="ltr">IFRS will help create more career opportunities in multinational firms and will give finance professionals greater professional stature.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">What Sets ZELL Education Apart?</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Instead of helping students pass the CMA/FRM exam, Zell Education emphasises the importance of being successful in their future careers.</p>
<p dir="ltr">1) Career-Focused Education: Zell Education provides career-focused, skill-based learning to support students in being ready for an employer. The goals of the education component are to prepare students with tested skills, knowledge, and free time to achieve the desired results.</p>
<p dir="ltr">2) Mentoring for Success: Students at Zell Education receive ongoing mentoring by a dedicated mentor as they prepare for their individual careers. Mentors enable the use of positive, supportive encouragement, guidance, and motivation throughout the student’s preparation.</p>
<p dir="ltr">3) Keeping Up With Industry Trends: The curriculum will be updated regularly to reflect the changing trends in the job market so that graduates will be familiar with the current working environment.</p>
<p dir="ltr">4) Career Services & Placement Help: Students will receive career support from advisers and placement help along the way to help them map out their transition from certification to a successful job.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">A Growing Preference Among Students</h2>
<p dir="ltr">In recent years, a significant percentage of students have moved away from postgraduate degrees to professional certifications such as CMA, ACCA, CFA, FRM, and CPA for reasons such as:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Accelerated career progression</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Global opportunities</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Higher salary potential</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Specialised knowledge</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">By providing structured preparation and ongoing support throughout the student’s career, ZELL Education has carved out a niche for itself as a conduit for students to fulfil their academic aspirations while also addressing their professional needs.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion</h2>
<p dir="ltr">As competition among financial organisations intensifies, professional finance certifications have become essential, representing strategic investments in your career. Programmes like the CMA and FRM have redefined the role that finance professionals contribute to organisations. The breadth of ACCA, CFA, CPA, and IFRS experience gives you continued access to job opportunities worldwide.</p>

With the greater demand for specialised talent in finance continuing to grow, the demand for institutions that can provide structured guidance and global exposure will also grow.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Zell Education has developed itself into a complete ecosystem that will enable aspirants of global accreditation programmes – including ACCA, CFA, CMA, FRM, CPA, and IFRS – to have access to all types of worksheets and resources needed to successfully transition from the classroom to the workplace.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Why Professional Finance Certifications Matter More Than Ever</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Finance is an industry that keeps changing at a fast pace. More and more organisations are looking for professionals with both experience and knowledge.</p>
<p dir="ltr">There are several certifications available (CMA, FRM, etc.) which provide demonstrable competency in areas such as management accounting, financial strategy, and risk management, and therefore are in higher demand by employers than those not holding the certification(s).</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">All certifications in finance, such as ACCA, CFA, CPA, and IFRS, provide students with the means to work internationally, as some companies require credentials to employ new workers.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Students can use these credentials to stand out from their peers if they wish to work in multinational corporations, investment firms, consulting organisations, or global accounting networks.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Zell Education recognises this need and has built its programmes around assisting students in obtaining certifications that will provide them with practical experience to enhance their future employment opportunities.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3 dir="ltr">Strong Focus on CMA: Building Future Management Leaders</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The <a href="https://www.zelleducation.com/blog/what-is-us-cma/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CMA </a>(Certified Management Accountant), one of the most prestigious credentials in the world of finance, is recognised for its focus on financial planning, analysis, control, and decision-making. Zell Education provides CMA aspirants with comprehensive preparation through:</p>
<p dir="ltr">CMA Curriculum based on Conceptual Learning Sessions</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">CMA Curriculum based on Relevant Real-Life Case Studies</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">CMA Curriculum based on Personalised Mentorship Support</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">CMA Curriculum based on Exam-Oriented Practice and Mock Tests</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">Zell works tirelessly to ensure that students preparing for the CMA exam will be prepared for the job market once they complete their studies. In addition, the way in which the curriculum is delivered makes it easier for students with measured academic experiences to understand the complex topics that financial management encompasses.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-27-2-26.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="JG PHYSIOCON 2026"></p><article dir="auto" tabindex="-1">

<div dir="auto">
<p><strong>Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], February 27: </strong>Growing online gaming habits and increasing screen dependency among youth are emerging as serious public health concerns, with new research linking excessive digital exposure to memory decline, anxiety, reduced attention span, and musculoskeletal disorders. These critical findings were highlighted at <strong>JG PHYSIOCON 2026</strong>, a landmark National Physiotherapy Conference successfully organised by JG University on 20th and 21st February 2026 at Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Auditorium.</p>
<p>Bringing together over <strong>2,300 physiotherapists, academicians, researchers, and students</strong> from across India, the two-day conference stood as one of the largest physiotherapy gatherings in the region under the theme <strong>“Restoring Movement & Rebuilding Lives.”</strong></p>
<p><strong>Research Highlights: Digital Overuse Under Scanner</strong></p>
<p>The conference witnessed the presentation of <strong>588 scientific research papers</strong>, addressing contemporary clinical challenges, technological impact on health, and advancements in physiotherapy practice.</p>
<p>One of the key studies titled <em>“Mobile Smartphone Addiction and Mindfulness Among College Students”</em> was presented by Final Year student Kashish Champavat. Conducted among 170 college students, the research revealed a strong negative correlation between smartphone addiction and mindfulness levels. The findings suggested that excessive screen exposure significantly reduces concentration, emotional stability, and academic efficiency.</p>
<p>Another impactful study, <em>“Online Gaming and Its Association with Hand Pain Among Youth,”</em> presented by Third Year student Seema Parvin Khan, examined 80 students and found that nearly <strong>60 percent</strong> reported hand and finger pain due to prolonged gaming. Participants spent an average of <strong>3.6 hours daily</strong> on mobile gaming, raising concerns about musculoskeletal strain and sedentary lifestyle risks.</p>
<p>A third notable paper, <em>“Relationship Between Screen Time and Mental Health Among Students,”</em> presented by Final Year student Hetvi Shah, revealed that <strong>78 percent</strong> of surveyed students reported anxiety symptoms, while <strong>62 percent</strong> experienced attention-related challenges. The study concluded that prolonged digital exposure adversely impacts cognitive functioning, memory retention, and overall productivity.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-101895 aligncenter" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-27-2-26-1-1.jpg" alt="JG PHYSIOCON 2026" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<h3>Academic Excellence and Nationwide Participation</h3>
<p>Beyond digital health concerns, the conference featured <strong>16 Keynote Lectures, 2 Panel Discussions, and 4 Case Discussions</strong>, covering specialties such as Cardiorespiratory Physiotherapy, Neurological Rehabilitation, Oncology Rehabilitation, Orthopedic Conditions, Women’s Health, and Pediatric Physiotherapy.</p>
<p>The event also included <strong>2 Pre & Post-Conference Hands-on Workshops</strong> and <strong>3 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Programmes</strong>, strengthening practical skills and clinical competencies. Student engagement remained a major highlight with academic, cultural, and sports competitions fostering holistic development.</p>
<p>The valedictory ceremony was graced by Padmavati Dr. Sudhir V Shah, renowned neuro physician, as the Chief Guest, who applauded the academic depth and national participation while emphasizing the importance of evidence-based practice in modern healthcare.</p>
<p>Dr. Prakruti Motka, Incharge Secretary, GSAHC, attended as Guest of Honour and commended the organising team for delivering a conference of remarkable scale and academic substance.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. M. P. Chandran, Chief Mentor of the Conference, stated</strong> <em>“JG PHYSIOCON 2026 reflects our steadfast commitment to advancing healthcare education and professional excellence. The participation of over 2300 delegates is a powerful testament to the unity and forward-thinking vision of the physiotherapy fraternity in India.”</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. CA Achyut Dani, President of the Conference, remarked</strong> <em>“The conference successfully blended academic rigor, clinical innovation, and student dynamism. It has created a strong platform for collaboration, research exchange, and professional growth that will benefit the healthcare ecosystem nationwide.”</em></p>
<p>Health experts collectively emphasized that while digital technology remains integral to modern life, unchecked screen addiction poses a growing threat to both physical and mental well-being among youth. The conference concluded with a strong call for increased awareness, preventive strategies, balanced digital habits, and interdisciplinary collaboration to safeguard the next generation.</p>
<p>With impactful discussions, strong scientific contributions, and nationwide participation, JG PHYSIOCON 2026 reaffirmed JG University’s leadership in advancing physiotherapy education, research, and evidence-based clinical practice in India.</p>

        <title>Think the US Visa Interview Is Tough? The DS&amp;160 Form Decides Your Fate First</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-27T153805.556.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="US Visa Interview-PNN"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 27:</strong> For many applicants, securing a U.S. visa appointment feels like the most critical step in the process. However, what truly shapes the outcome often happens much earlier, while filling out the DS-160 form online.</p>
<p>At a time when visa slots in India can take months to become available, travel companies like <a href="https://www.akbartravels.com/in/flight?lan=en&utm_source=searchads&utm_medium=brandcamp&utm_campaign=inhousebrand&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22895725331&gbraid=0AAAAA_uZbf_MTpcgAtkRuAW6iSko6xHxf&gclid=CjwKCAiA2PrMBhA4EiwAwpHyC47asVWazRkkMcQfcNFQwvp53eRFpGJnECNNIf0iNdp0ap3JW4TXshoCSTwQAvD_BwE" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Akbar Travels</strong></a> provide faster appointment options such as<a href="https://www.akbartravels.com/visa/usa-visa?utm_source=PR&utm_medium=visa+pr&utm_campaign=Spacebar&utm_id=Spacebar" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a><a href="https://www.akbartravels.com/visa/usa-visa?utm_source=PR&utm_medium=visa+pr&utm_campaign=Spacebar&utm_id=Spacebar" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>US Visa Appointment in 20 Days</strong></a>. Yet, regardless of how quickly an appointment is secured, the accuracy of the DS-160 Form plays a decisive role in how the application is assessed.</p>
<p>The DS-160, formally known as the Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application (DS-160), is not just a routine form. It becomes the primary source of information that visa officers study before meeting an applicant face to face.</p>
<h2><strong>Why the DS-160 Application Form holds more weight than the US Visa Interview</strong></h2>
<p>When applicants attend their U.S. visa appointment, the officer already has access to their complete U.S. visa application online. Details such as employment history, travel records, and the purpose of the visit are reviewed in advance. The interview mainly serves to confirm whether spoken answers match what was submitted digitally, This is the reason why the DS-160 form holds more weight than the Interview.</p>
<h2><strong>Errors that weaken your USA Visa Application</strong></h2>
<p>A most common reason for US Visa rejection is inconsistency. Inconsistencies in passport data and form responses, ambiguous travel plans, or unreported work information may cause doubts. Applicants applying for a US visa for Indians category must be especially careful when declaring their job profile and financial background.</p>
<p>Even choosing the wrong US visa type or writing vague reasons for travel can affect how the application is perceived.</p>
<h2><strong>Impact on Appointment waiting periods</strong></h2>
<p>With rising demand, US visa appointment wait times have increased across several cities. In some cases, applicants may find earlier slots in locations other than their home city.</p>
<p>For instance, travellers based in Mumbai who are unable to secure an appointment locally often look at Delhi as an alternative. In such situations, planning travel early includes booking <a href="https://www.akbartravels.com/in/domestic/mumbai-to-new-delhi-flights?utm_source=PR&utm_medium=visa+pr&utm_campaign=Spacebar&utm_id=Spacebar" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Mumbai to New Delhi flights</strong></a> in advance to avoid last-minute price surges and scheduling issues.</p>
<p>While the DS-160 Form does not reduce waiting periods, a correctly completed application prevents delays caused by technical errors or resubmission.</p>
<h2><strong>Travel planning after approval</strong></h2>
<p>After approval of the visa, travelers start organizing their trip by searching for Cheap Flights to the United States to grab the best airfare for their journey. Some people like to have organized travel plans and look for <a href="https://www.akbartravels.com/holidays/international-tour-packages/united-states-tour-packages?utm_source=PR&utm_medium=visa+pr&utm_campaign=Spacebar&utm_id=Spacebar" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>USA Tour Package</strong></a> deals that include accommodation, transport, sightseeing among other aspects.</p>
<p>Applicants who have interviews in metro cities like Mumbai, may also require short stays, many applicants prefer booking the top <a href="https://www.akbartravels.com/in/city/cheap-hotels-mumbai-india?utm_source=PR&utm_medium=visa+pr&utm_campaign=Spacebar&utm_id=Spacebar" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Hotels in Mumbai</strong></a> if their interview city is not their home city.</p>
<h2><strong>Honesty and clarity matter most</strong></h2>
<p>The DS-160 application form functions as a legal declaration. Any effort to conceal previous refusals, distort travel history, or overstate financial circumstances could undermine credibility. USA Visa officials would find it far more impressive to see consistency between the written application and the responses during the interview.</p>
<p>Applicants who consider the US DS-160 form as the basis of their application tend to be more confident and better prepared for the interview.</p>
<h2><strong>Conclusion</strong></h2>
<p>Although it is common to assume that the final decision is made during the US visa interview, the actual assessment begins with the Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application (DS-160). Starting from the personal circumstances to the travel purpose, the DS-160 form creates the applicant’s profile, which visa officials assess long before the applicant faces the counter.</p>
<p>For those planning to Apply for a U.S. Visa, careful attention to the form DS-160 can be just as important as interview preparation.</p>

<ul>
<li>Studio-based learning across conservation, housing, interiors and landscape</li>
<li>Choice-based curriculum and global exposure opportunities</li>
<li>Scholarships available for meritorious students</li>
</ul>
<p><span><strong>New Delhi [India], February 26: </strong></span>As climate volatility intensifies, technologies evolve, and cities grow, architecture is being asked to operate with greater responsibility and precision than ever before. Responding to this challenge, the Faculty of Architecture at CEPT University invites graduates seeking intellectual depth, technical rigour and meaningful engagement with the realities of practice.</p>
<p>At CEPT, postgraduate education is not an extension of the undergraduate program. It is a space for deliberate specialisation. Studios function as laboratories, a space for creative exploration of real-world challenges. Small cohorts work with expert tutors to develop arguments, test prototypes, and refine positions through sustained critique. The coursework, spread across the semester and summer and winter schools, opens up a wide range of explorations in the field of the built environment at large. Students have access to extensive resources in the form of the workshop, software, library, archives, material labs and an extensive network of national and international professionals.</p>
<p>Emphasising the intent behind the programs,<strong> Sameep Padora, Dean, Faculty of Architecture, CEPT University</strong>, said, “Postgraduate education in architecture today must go beyond skill acquisition — it must cultivate clarity of thought, technical rigour and the courage to take positions. At CEPT, our studios are structured as spaces of deep inquiry where students confront real constraints, test ideas against material and context, and develop an independent architectural voice. We are committed to nurturing professionals who can critically engage with the complexities of climate, culture and construction, technology, and lead meaningful change in the built environment.”</p>
<p>The Faculty offers six programs, each anchored in a critical domain that shapes the built environment-</p>
<p><strong>Programs Offered</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong><strong>Master’s in Landscape Architecture (MLA): </strong>Responding to climate change and ecological transformation, the M.Arch program in Landscape Architecture prepares professionals to work at the intersection of landscape, ecology, and society. Moving beyond garden-making, the curriculum addresses India’s growing environmental, social, and urban challenges, training students to see landscape as a dynamic system and design</p>
<p>across scales—from regional watersheds to urban public spaces. Graduates join a global alumni network of 500+ professionals to work in practice, academia, and research.</p>
<p><strong> </strong><strong>Master’s in Interior Design (MID): </strong>Recognised as one of the most comprehensive and forward-looking postgraduate programs in interior design, the curriculum blends interdisciplinary learning, hands-on practice and exposure to emerging industry advancements. Students gain global perspectives through international exchanges, strong industry engagement and a robust placement ecosystem, leading to careers in top design firms, multidisciplinary consultancies, academics and design-led organisations in India and worldwide.</p>
<p><strong> </strong><strong>M.Arch in Housing Design </strong>engages directly with one of India’s most urgent spatial questions- how to build housing that is socially responsive, economically viable, and environmentally responsible.</p>
<p>The fully choice-based curriculum allows students to design their own academic pathway through diverse studios- ranging from speculative futures to deep engagement with real-world housing challenges. Strong collaboration with peers, national practitioners and international workshops ensures broad professional exposure.</p>
<p><strong> </strong><strong>Master’s in Conservation and Regeneration (MCR): </strong>Foregrounding its responsibility to the emerging realities of climate urgency, MCR treats conservation as primarily an ecological act of radical design, allowing for creative and responsible reinterpretations of historical structures that can integrate developmental pressures around. Designed for students interested in the intersection of history, technology, architectural and urban design, this program prepares professionals to address the expanding field of conservation practice. The curriculum is closely aligned with emerging industry and government investments in the contemporisation of historic environments.</p>
<p><strong> </strong><strong>Master’s in Architectural Tectonics: </strong>When does a detail transcend construction and become architecture? How precisely must a building be detailed for construction itself to carry meaning? The Master of Architectural Tectonics (MAT) is positioned at the intersection of architecture and technology, where such questions are examined through drawing, computation, prototyping, and full-scale engagement with material and structure. The program is grounded in the conditions and challenges of its time. It recognises that architectural expression emerges through mastery of detailing and construction, where material intelligence and structural clarity give form to ideas.</p>
<p><strong> </strong><strong>Master’s in Architectural History and Research (MAHR): </strong>MAHR cultivates the ability to think historically and critically about the built environment, from buildings to larger built-scapes and landscapes. In a time of shifting climate patterns and rapid technological and cultural change, building demands informed judgment — grounded in an understanding of what has succeeded, failed, endured, and evolved. Through research, drawing, archives, and writing, students develop historical instinct and</p>
<p>analytical depth, preparing them for research, conservation, publishing, curation, education, policy, and informed architectural practice.</p>
<p><strong>Admissions Open!</strong></p>
<p>Applications for the 2026 cycle are now open. Detailed information on eligibility criteria, important dates, and scholarships is available at <a href="http://www.cept.ac.in/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.cept.ac.in</a></p>
<p>For those seeking more than just another credential, for those seeking depth, position, and the ability to engage meaningfully with the built environment, we invite you to apply.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-121.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Harvard Professor Sara Lazar Joins a Roundtable on the Science of Mind, Behaviour, and Wellbeing organized by Rishihood University-PNN"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 27:</strong> The Mahesh Navani School of Brain, Body and Behaviour (MaNaS) at Rishihood University hosted a high-impact, closed-door roundtable on “The Science of Mind, Behavior, and Wellbeing” at the India International Centre, New Delhi.</p>
<p>The 90-minute policy dialogue brought together leaders from neuroscience, psychology, policy, management, and community mental health to deliberate on the future of mental health and adolescent wellbeing.</p>
<p>Prominent names included Prof. (Dr.) Sara Lazar, Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School; Prof. (Dr.) Mohita Junnarkar, Professor and Vice Dean (Research), Jindal Institute of Behavioural Sciences; Prof. (Dr.) Sanjeev P. Sahni, Principal Director, Jindal Institute of Behavioural Sciences; Prof. (Dr.) Arvind Sahay, Director, Management Development Institute – Gurgaon, Professor of Marketing and International Business and Chairperson, Brandscapes MDI Centre for Behavioural & Neuroscience Lab; Dr. Gauri Divan, Director of the Child Development Group at Sangath; Ms. Pooja Sharma, Founder of The Sarvodaya Collective; and Ms. Gayatree Anand, an education and workforce development specialist focused on scaling learning initiatives.</p>
<p>The central working question guiding the roundtable was how MaNaS should shape its research agenda to make an original and globally relevant contribution to the science of mind, behaviour, and wellbeing. The discussion focused on identifying priority research areas that are rigorous, culturally grounded, and capable of generating impact at both scholarly and societal levels. Participants also discussed how yoga, breathwork, meditation, and music can be scientifically studied without losing their philosophical depth.</p>
<p>In his framing remarks, Prof. (Dr.) Shobhit Mathur, Co-founder and Vice-Chancellor of Rishihood University, underscored the need to move beyond siloed and incremental approaches to the study of the mind, stating:</p>
<p>“This roundtable is about defining the future of mental health research. Despite advances in neuroscience, psychology, and AI, adolescent wellbeing is declining. That signals a deeper problem. We have been studying the mind in fragments instead of as an integrated brain–body–behaviour–culture system. Our focus is clear: how do we enhance mental wellbeing and cognitive development in technologically mediated, culturally diverse societies? The themes we finalize today will move beyond pathology toward human flourishing, beyond narrow universality toward plural frameworks, and toward scalable solutions that can shape global science.”</p>
<p>Building on Shobhit’s call for integrated and plural frameworks, Prof. (Dr.) Sara Lazar, Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School and a globally acclaimed Neuroscientist, who is recognized worldwide for advancing the neuroscience of meditation and mind-body practices, highlighted areas where MaNaS can lead globally:</p>
<p>“Possible areas where MaNaS can lead include Ayurveda, exploration of similarities and differences across Indian traditions, and the scientific study of spirituality using yogic techniques to address energy blocks, akin to acupuncture. There are also aspects of Indian traditions not widely explored in the West (karma, rebirth, mantra, and deity devotion) that warrant rigorous and respectful scientific engagement.”</p>
<p>Extending this research vision into institutional practice, Dr. Gauri Divan emphasized that universities themselves must model care and responsibility in advancing mental wellbeing:</p>
<p>“Public mental health is very important, and going forward universities must first focus on the mental well-being of their own learners. Care is a very important parameter for mental wellbeing.”</p>
<p>As the discussion turned to translating research into real-world impact, Pooja Sharma advocated for grassroots collaboration. She noted that MaNaS can play a meaningful role in collaborating on inclusion, training teachers, and providing caregivers in the community.</p>
<p>Reflecting on the academic responsibilities of such an initiative, Sanjeev P. Sahni stressed that doctoral research in this field must be intellectually rigorous, culturally grounded, and socially accountable, adding that it was encouraging to see Rishihood University commit to these standards. Echoing this perspective, Mohita Junnarkar observed that for research to have real impact, it must be methodologically sound, contextually sensitive, and ethically intentional, a direction she noted was thoughtfully advanced through the roundtable.</p>
<p>The roundtable concluded with Suresh Jain, Board of Founder of Rishihood University, expressing his conviction in the institution’s future and the role Rishihood University will play in pioneering research to address mental health challenges.</p>
<p>MaNaS as a school is committed not merely to expanding research volume, but to reshaping how the mind, behaviour, and wellbeing are conceptualized, studied, and enhanced, especially during adolescence in technologically mediated and culturally diverse societies.</p>
<p><strong>About Rishihood University</strong></p>
<p>Rishihood University is reimagining higher education as a force for national transformation. It shapes learners for personal growth, professional excellence, and public impact in an industry-integrated, values-first learning environment.

        <title>More Than a Ride: Mumbai Autowalas Offer Mental Health Check&amp;Ins</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/more-than-a-ride-mumbai-autowalas-offer-mental-health-check-ins</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/more-than-a-ride-mumbai-autowalas-offer-mental-health-check-ins</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-126.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="More Than a Ride: Mumbai Autowalas Offer Mental Health Check-Ins-PNN"></p><p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 27: </strong>Across Mumbai’s suburbs, including Malad, Andheri, JVLR, and Bandra, auto-rickshaws recently began carrying short, reflective lines about overthinking, stress, and emotional burnout. The messages appeared on everyday commutes, quietly meeting people where they already were: in traffic, between signals, in moments of pause.</p>
<p>The street-level intervention was launched by mental health startup Infiheal alongside auto-rickshaw drivers across the city, bringing conversations around emotional well-being into one of Mumbai’s most routine and shared spaces, the daily commute.</p>
<p>The messages offered no advice or instructions. Instead, they reflected what many commuters were already feeling, prompting riders to pause, reflect, and sometimes share. Images of the autos soon began circulating on social media, accompanied by reactions such as, “Didn’t expect a reminder like this between signals,” and “When your auto ride turns into a mental check-in.”</p>
<p>According to the founders, the month-long campaign “HealOnAuto” was rooted in a simple insight: in Mumbai, emotional strain often blends into the background noise of daily life. By placing mental health messages directly into everyday routes, the initiative suggested that mental health isn’t separate from the city’s rhythm, it moves with it.</p>
<p>For the auto drivers involved, the campaign felt deeply personal. Jugal, the auto-rickshaw driver who lead the initiative across the Western Line, shared that most passengers today are constantly in a rush and visibly stressed, often repeating “jaldi karo” throughout the ride. He added that people need to slow down, spend more time with friends and family, step out together, and live more like a community, not just individuals moving from one place to another.</p>
<p>At a time when AI-led mental health tools and digital therapy platforms are seeing rapid adoption across urban India, the campaign served as a reminder that conversations around emotional well-being do not always need to begin online or in clinical settings. Sometimes, they start in ordinary moments, led by people who witness the city’s stress up close every day.</p>
<p>“Mental health doesn’t always need a screen or a clinical setting to begin,” said Srishti Srivastava, co-founder of Infiheal. “We wanted to start the conversation where people already are, in transit, in between moments, because that’s often where stress quietly lives.”</p>
<p><strong>About Infiheal</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://www.infiheal.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Infiheal</a> is a Mumbai-based health-tech startup founded by Srishti Srivastava (IIT Bombay alum) and Utkarsh Srivastava, focused on making mental health care accessible, affordable, and stigma-free. The startup was featured by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the 108th episode of Mann Ki Baat and is best known for Healo AI, a wellness platform that combines an AI mental health chatbot with expert-led therapy, psychometric assessments, journaling, meditation, and self-help tools in 93+ languages.</p>
<p>Infiheal builds AI models for mental health using one of the world’s largest therapy datasets, guided by responsible AI principles and supported by multiple layers of safety moderation and human-in-the-loop escalation for sensitive situations. In just over a year, the platform has reached nearly one million users and was recently represented at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where the founders spoke on the intersection of AI, health, and safety.</p>
<p>Last week, <strong>Infiheal</strong> also emerged as the winner at the ‘AI for All Global Impact Challenge’ at the India AI Summit 2026, New Delhi, a winner from over 10,000 applicants across 70+ countries and had its showcase graced by  Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Awarded with a cash prize of INR 25 lakhs, which was presented by Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw, Shri Jitin Prasada and Shri Abhishek Singh. Their vision and victory was also lauded by global leaders, including Sundar Pichai and Rishi Sunak, at an event that brought together visionaries such as Dario Amodei, Demis Hassabis, Mukesh Ambani, Emmanuel Macron and António Guterres, Sam Altman, among many other distinguished global leaders.</p>

        <title>The importance of social media in doctors’ lives today: Insights from Dr. Garvit Chitkara</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/the-importance-of-social-media-in-doctors-lives-today-insights-from-dr-garvit-chitkara-16067</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/the-importance-of-social-media-in-doctors-lives-today-insights-from-dr-garvit-chitkara-16067</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-27-2-26-4.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Dr. Garvit Chitkara" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 27:</strong> In a world where a single post can reach thousands within minutes, social media has quietly become one of the most powerful tools in modern healthcare. For doctors, it is no longer just about hospital corridors and clinic consultations; it is also about digital conversations, awareness reels, live Q&A sessions, and myth-busting posts. Dr. Garvit Chitkara believes that when used responsibly, social media can transform the way patients understand diseases, especially complex conditions like breast cancer.</p>
<p>As a leading<strong> </strong><a href="https://drgarvitchitkara.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Breast Cancer surgeon in Mumbai</strong></a>, Dr. Garvit Chitkara has seen how online information shapes patient perceptions even before they step into a clinic. Currently serving as Associate Director of Breast Surgical Oncology and Oncoplasty at the Nanavati Max Institute of Cancer Care, Nanavati Max Super Specialty Hospital, he feels that doctors today must embrace digital platforms as part of their responsibility toward public health education. “Patients often come to us after reading something online,” he says. “If credible doctors are not part of that conversation, misinformation can easily take over. Social media allows us to guide, educate, and reassure at the right time.”</p>
<p>Trained at the prestigious Tata Memorial Hospital, where he was inducted as faculty immediately after completing his training, Dr. Chitkara has always balanced academic excellence with patient-centric care. Over the years, he has trained the next generation of cancer surgeons and contributed to clinical research in breast oncology, genetics, and precision medicine. Today, he extends that mentorship beyond hospital walls through digital engagement, simplifying medical jargon into understandable, actionable information for patients and families.</p>
<p>He points out that breast cancer awareness in India still faces challenges due to stigma, fear, and delayed diagnosis. “Early detection can save lives, but hesitation and misinformation often cause delays,” Dr. Chitkara explains. “If a simple post about warning signs or the importance of mammography motivates even one woman to seek timely screening, that’s meaningful impact.” Through discussions on breast-conserving surgery, oncoplastic techniques, genetic testing, and survivorship, he emphasizes that modern breast cancer treatment focuses not only on cure but also on quality of life and aesthetic outcomes.</p>
<p>Social media, according to Dr. Chitkara, also builds transparency and trust. Patients increasingly research doctors online before booking appointments. A thoughtful and professional digital presence helps them understand a doctor’s approach, philosophy, and expertise. “Healthcare decisions are deeply personal,” he shares. “When patients see consistent, educational content, it reassures them that they are choosing someone who prioritizes clarity and compassion.”</p>
<p>However, he is equally firm about maintaining ethical boundaries. “Social media should never replace clinical consultation,” he cautions. “It is a platform for awareness, not diagnosis. Patient confidentiality and medical ethics must always remain non-negotiable.” By focusing on evidence-based education rather than sensational content, he believes doctors can uphold credibility while expanding their outreach.</p>
<p>Beyond patient education, social platforms have become valuable tools for professional collaboration. Surgeons and oncologists across the world share research updates, surgical innovations, and insights into evolving cancer therapies. For a specialist involved in breast oncoplastic surgery and molecular oncology, staying digitally connected ensures exposure to global advancements that ultimately benefit patients back home.</p>
<p>Dr. Chitkara also highlights the emotional dimension of digital communication. Cancer journeys can feel isolating, and online communities often provide comfort and shared strength. “Sometimes, reassurance is as important as treatment,” he says. “When patients read stories of recovery or hear a doctor calmly explain a procedure, it reduces anxiety and builds confidence.”</p>

        <title>Revolutionizing Minimally Invasive Surgery for Gallbladder Cancer and Enhancing Recovery and Survival Rates: Dr. Vipulroy Rathore</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-27T160834.602.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Gallbladder -PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 27</strong>:  Gallbladder cancer is one of the most aggressive and often underdiagnosed gastrointestinal malignancies, frequently mistaken for routine gallbladder stones or chronic inflammation until it progresses to an advanced stage. Because early symptoms such as abdominal discomfort, nausea, or jaundice are often subtle or attributed to benign conditions, timely detection remains a major challenge. However, advancements in minimally invasive endoscopic techniques are transforming the landscape of gallbladder cancer diagnosis and treatment, offering patients safer interventions, faster recovery, and improved survival outcomes.</p>
<p>Dr. Vipulroy Rathod, a globally acclaimed<a href="https://vipulroyrathod.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong> </strong></a><a href="https://vipulroyrathod.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gastroenterologist in Mumbai</a> , India, has been instrumental in advancing precision-driven endoscopic approaches for complex hepatobiliary cancers. Recognized as a highly experienced Endoscopist in Mumbai<strong>,</strong> India, he has over three decades of clinical expertise and more than 80,000 endoscopic procedures to his credit. Dr. Rathod emphasizes that accurate staging and early intervention are critical in managing gallbladder cancer effectively. “Gallbladder cancer often disguises itself as routine gallbladder disease,” he explains. “Advanced endoscopic imaging and Endoscopic Ultrasound allow us to identify suspicious lesions at an early stage, sometimes before the disease spreads beyond control.”</p>
<p>Modern gastroenterology has witnessed a paradigm shift with the integration of high-definition imaging, therapeutic endoscopy, and Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS). These technologies allow detailed visualization of the gallbladder wall, bile ducts, and surrounding structures. Tissue sampling can be performed in real time, enabling precise diagnosis without the need for large surgical incisions. This minimally invasive approach not only enhances diagnostic accuracy but also reduces patient discomfort and hospital stay.</p>
<p>In cases where gallbladder cancer leads to biliary obstruction or complications, advanced endoscopic interventions can provide immediate relief. Procedures such as ERCP-guided stenting, endoscopic biliary drainage, and ultrasound-guided interventions help restore bile flow, reduce jaundice, and stabilize patients before definitive oncological treatment. “Our goal is to combine technology with expertise to minimize surgical trauma,” Dr. Rathod states. “Minimally invasive procedures significantly reduce complications and allow patients to recover faster, which is crucial in cancer care.”</p>
<p>Another major advantage of minimally invasive management lies in its suitability for elderly or high-risk patients who may not tolerate extensive open surgery. Endoscopic techniques offer therapeutic options that are both effective and less physically demanding. By preserving organ function and limiting physiological stress, these procedures enhance overall treatment tolerance and quality of life.</p>
<p>Dr. Rathod is recognized as a pioneer of diagnostic and interventional Endoscopic Ultrasound in South Asia, having performed more than 20,000 EUS interventions. His expertise spans pancreaticobiliary diseases, gastrointestinal cancers, and complex therapeutic endoscopy. Trained at internationally renowned institutions including Universitätsklinikum Hamburg Eppendorf in Germany and Yale University in the United States, he brings global best practices to Indian patients, ensuring world-class standards of care.</p>
<p>Beyond procedural excellence, patient education and awareness remain central to his philosophy. He encourages individuals with persistent gallbladder symptoms, recurrent gallstones, unexplained weight loss, or jaundice to seek early specialist evaluation. “When detected early, gallbladder cancer management becomes far more effective,” he emphasizes. “Timely endoscopic evaluation can dramatically influence survival rates and long-term outcomes.”</p>
<p>The integration of advanced technology with extensive clinical experience has positioned minimally invasive gastroenterology as a game-changer in digestive oncology. Precision diagnostics, targeted interventions, and patient-centric care collectively contribute to better survival statistics and enhanced recovery pathways for gallbladder cancer patients.</p>

        <title>Best Crypto to Buy Now During Red Candles Is DeepSnitch AI With 300x Upside, DCR and CC Are Worth a Look, Too</title>

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/best-crypto-to-buy-now-during-red-candles-is-deepsnitch-ai-with-300x-upside-dcr-and-cc-are-worth-a-look-too-16061</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-27-2-26-1-2.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="AI"></p><p dir="ltr"><strong>New Delhi [India], February 27: </strong>Bitwise’s chief investment officer, Matt Hougan, dropped a note this week where he said Wall Street is warming up to crypto, with all of finance moving on-chain. All of it.</p>
<p dir="ltr">BlackRock and Apollo already have tokenized funds worth billions running on-chain. JPMorgan, Bank of America, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo are in talks to launch a joint stablecoin. Tokenized real-world assets just hit nearly $20 billion, quadrupling in 2025 alone.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Most traders have gone numb to this story, and that numbness is where the best crypto to buy now opportunity lives. Traders who read these signals early are already repositioning before the crowd catches up. <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-to-buy-now-deepsnitch-ai-dcr-cc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> is the sharpest entry in that window right now.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan says all of finance is moving on-chain and most traders are sleeping on it</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan’s <a href="https://experts.bitwiseinvestments.com/cio-memos/why-investors-cant-hear-wall-streets-crypto-song" target="_blank" rel="noopener">note this week</a> was essentially a speed check for traders who think this is still early innings talk. Wall Street is not warming up to crypto anymore. It is already moving, and the capital allocators who control trillions of dollars are no longer keeping quiet about where they think the financial system is headed.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The SEC launched “Project Crypto” to push the entire US financial market system onto blockchain rails. Tokenized real-world assets just touched nearly $20 billion, up more than four times from where they were at the start of 2025.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Hougan’s core argument was not about price targets. It was about trader psychology. The traders that are AWAKE right now have the edge.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI dominates crypto investment opportunities in the presale space right now</h2>
<p dir="ltr">When traders ask where the best crypto to buy now is, the answer in presale right now is <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-to-buy-now-deepsnitch-ai-dcr-cc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI. </a></p>
<p dir="ltr">Five AI agents are live and fully operational, scanning whale wallet movements on-chain in real time, monitoring private Telegram alpha channels for early signals, and flagging smart contract risks before retail traders walk into a trap.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Here is what separates DeepSnitch AI from every other name in the best crypto to buy now conversation right now. The product does not stop improving. SnitchGPT just came through a full cognitive upgrade and now runs on live platform data to answer the crypto questions traders are actually asking.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A brand new intelligent caching layer keeps recently scanned token signals hot, so high volume conditions do not slow anything down. Deep Plus is completely unlocked for early subscribers with full run of Feed, Scan, Audit, Cast, GPT, and Explorer. That is a finished product getting better inside an open presale window.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Still wondering what the best crypto to buy now actually means in numbers? $DSNT is sitting at $0.04146, up over 170% from its launch price, with $1.75 million raised across five stages so far.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Put in $5,000, and the active 50% bonus pushes your stack from 120,598 tokens to 180,897. At $10 per token, that position prints $1.81 million.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Among all crypto investment opportunities visible in this cycle, DeepSnitch AI carries the most asymmetric setup because the product is already delivering value for traders today. That is rare at presale pricing. The best crypto to buy now for parabolic upside is a short list, and this one sits at the top of it.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://youtu.be/E6RsfRzyfZU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/E6RsfRzyfZU</a></p>
<h2 dir="ltr">DCR is running hot as one of the real breakout altcoins in this market</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Decred is trading around $30 on February 26, after a clean 14% surge from a symmetrical triangle breakout on February 22, supported by high volume.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The project also passed DCP-0013 in February 2026, a governance vote that caps treasury spending and puts the DAO in tighter control over development funding.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Traders are eyeing a return toward $40 to $69 by mid-to-late 2026 if momentum holds. Among strong momentum coins in the governance and privacy coin space, this is one of the better-structured setups available.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If you want the best crypto to buy now as a mid-cap accumulation play rather than a presale bet, DCR gives you supply scarcity, active governance, and a fresh technical breakout all at once.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">CC is the cleanest institutional RWA play among crypto investment opportunities this cycle</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Canton Network’s CC token is trading around $0.17 as of February 26 and deserves attention from traders tracking the real-world asset tokenization narrative.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The numbers here are not small. Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, BNY Mellon, DTCC, Nasdaq, Broadridge, and Morgan Stanley are all building on or integrating with Canton.</p>
<p dir="ltr">DTCC received a formal SEC no-action letter to tokenize U.S. Treasury securities on Canton, with the production pilot expected in the first half of 2026. JPMorgan plans to issue JPM Coin natively on Canton for private atomic settlement. Analysts targeting $0.25 to $0.50 by the end of 2026 point directly to these catalysts as the fuel.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion</h2>
<p dir="ltr">DCR brings supply scarcity, governance strength, and a clean technical breakout. CC brings institutional rails, a deflationary burn model, and the deepest financial industry partnerships of any token in crypto. Both belong on a watchlist.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But the best crypto to buy now for traders who want actual asymmetric upside before the crowd figures it out is still DeepSnitch AI. It has a working product, 5 live AI crypto agents, 170% printed in presale, Tier 1 listing conversations already running, and up to 300% bonuses still on the table.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Visit the official <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-to-buy-now-deepsnitch-ai-dcr-cc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI website</a> and lock in your position before the crowd finds it and the easy money is already gone. Follow on <a href="https://x.com/deepsnitchai">X</a> and <a href="https://x.com/deepsnitchai">Telegram</a> today for launch updates.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">Why does DeepSnitch AI rank as the best crypto to buy now over solid plays like DCR and CC for traders hunting asymmetric upside this cycle?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">DCR and CC are legit. But neither has presale pricing nor live utility built for traders to use today. DeepSnitch AI does both at $0.04146. That is why it keeps coming up as the best crypto to buy now for traders chasing real asymmetric returns in 2026.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Which breakout altcoins are traders actually watching right now?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI is one of the breakout altcoins with the clearest setup this cycle. It is up 170% in presale, $1.75 million has been raised, and a 30% bonus is still active on entries above $2,000.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Why does DeepSnitch AI keep coming up in every best crypto to buy now conversation?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Because it earns it. It has real utility running today; asymmetric presale pricing and exchange listing momentum are building fast. Every best crypto to buy now list that skips DeepSnitch AI is missing the sharpest entry of the cycle.</p>

        <title>From Headliners to High&amp;Impact Production: Urban Aura Bags Excellence Award in Corporate and College Events</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/from-headliners-to-high-impact-production-urban-aura-bags-excellence-award-in-corporate-and-college-events-16059</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/from-headliners-to-high-impact-production-urban-aura-bags-excellence-award-in-corporate-and-college-events-16059</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-27-2-26-1-3.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Urban"></p><p><strong><span>New Delhi [India], February 27: </span></strong>Urban Aura has been awarded for Excellence in Corporate and College Events, a recognition that spotlights high-control execution in two of the most demanding event environments. The win reinforces Urban Aura’s reputation for building shows that feel premium on the floor and run flawlessly behind the scenes, across corporate showcases, campus festivals, and large-format institutional productions.</p>
<p>The award was announced at the Bharat Shining Conclave 2026 in New Delhi, held on 23 February 2026 at The Lalit Hotel.</p>
<h2>The Award and What it Represents</h2>
<p>This recognition validates what clients and campuses demand today: events that look premium, run smoothly, and leave a lasting impression. It also highlights Urban Aura’s ability to manage scale without losing control of details.</p>
<p>Whether it is a leadership summit, annual day, dealer meet, or a campus fest with headline performances, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/urbanaura.live/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Urban Aura</a> focuses on one goal: a seamless show experience for every stakeholder, audience, organiser, artist, sponsor, and team.</p>
<h2>Corporate Events Built for Brand and Precision</h2>
<p>Corporate events need polish and predictability. Urban Aura builds experiences that feel sharp, on-brand, and tightly managed from the first cue to the final wrap.</p>
<p>The team supports planning across show flow, venue mapping, stage design, and delegate experience. Deliverables typically include run-of-show management, creative theming, anchoring and scripting support, LED and AV planning, sound and lighting design, stage and backstage operations, and on-ground coordination for entries, seating, and security.</p>
<p>Urban Aura also understands the “business side” of corporate events. That includes sponsor integrations that don’t feel forced, content that communicates clearly on screen, and formats that keep people engaged, without extending timelines or creating logistical overload. Urban Aura also designs these showcases to be genuinely fruitful for participating brands, creating real on-ground visibility, meaningful audience engagement, and measurable value.</p>
<h2>College Events Designed for Scale and Energy</h2>
<p>College events are a different game. The energy is higher, the audiences are larger, and the operations are more complex, especially when multiple performances and crowd movements happen in short windows.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/urbanaura-by-emiac-media/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Urban Aura</a> executes college fests and pro-nites with a strong focus on crowd flow, stage safety, and production discipline. From permissions and venue protocols to backstage access control and campus stakeholder coordination, the team works to ensure every moving part is accounted for. At the same time, the experience stays exciting, because college events must feel big, fast, and memorable.</p>
<p>Across formats delivered for institutions and universities such as AIIMS Rishikesh, IIT Roorkee, IIT Jammu, MNIT, Manipal University, JECRC University, and many more, this balance matters every single time.</p>
<p>You need the thrill of a headline performance, but you also need gates, queues, entries, sound checks, cueing, and emergency planning handled with maturity. That is exactly where Urban Aura’s systems and teams make a visible difference.</p>
<h2>Artist Management, Big Names, and End-to-End Production</h2>
<p>Urban Aura’s award-winning execution is powered by strong artist management and high-grade production capability.</p>
<p>On the artist side, the team manages discovery and curation, availability checks, negotiation, contracting, and performance logistics. This includes artist riders, technical requirements, travel and hospitality, green rooms, security coordination, and stage timings.</p>
<p>With a roster that spans recognised headliners and crowd-favourite performers across genres, B Praak, Shaan, Salim Sulaiman, Darshan Raval, Shreya Ghoshal, and many more, Urban Aura is equipped to build line-ups that match the event’s tone: premium for corporate showcases and high-voltage for campus nights.</p>
<p>On the production side, the delivery is end-to-end: stage build, truss, LED walls, sound, lighting, console operations, backstage management, and show calling. The aim is simple: zero surprises on show day. Sound checks start on time, cues are locked, transitions are clean, and the audience gets a performance that feels world-class.</p>
<h2>Proven Delivery Under High-Stakes Conditions</h2>
<p>Large events demand more than creative ideas. They demand discipline under pressure. Urban Aura’s approach reflects this.</p>
<p>From institutional-level showcases across venues such as AIIMS Rishikesh to sponsor-heavy college fests across IIT Roorkee, IIT Jammu, MNIT, Manipal University, JECRC University, and many more, the team plans for real-world constraints, short setup windows, multiple stakeholders, strict entry protocols, and last-minute changes.</p>
<p>That ability to stay calm and structured, while still delivering high energy on the floor, is a key reason Urban Aura has earned this recognition.</p>
<h2>Founder’s Note</h2>
<p>This recognition belongs to the team that shows up early, stays alert through every cue, and delivers with discipline when the pressure is highest. Cheers to the entire team and every partner who believes in doing the work the right way, quietly, consistently, and at a world-class standard. Special thanks to my co-founders Reythm Jain, Achal Gupta and Aditya Sharma.</p>
<p>– <strong>Vibhore Bhargava, Founder & CEO</strong></p>
<h2>Looking Ahead</h2>
<p>The Bharat Shining Conclave positions itself as a platform to bring leaders together to shape Bharat@2047, and the awards segment celebrates organisations creating measurable impact in their domains.</p>
<p>For Urban Aura, this award is a milestone and a responsibility. It strengthens the commitment to deliver bigger corporate experiences, stronger campus productions, and more ambitious artist-led showcases, with the same standard clients and colleges already trust: premium execution, tight control, and unforgettable energy.</p>

<div class="col-12 col-sm-7 col-lg-7">
<p><span><strong>New Delhi [India], February 27:</strong> </span>Skyljo, an AI-enabled skill assessment platform, has introduced <strong>one of the first camera-based, augmentative AI solutions for the assessment of blue-collar workers in India at AI Impact Summit 2026</strong>. This offers one of a kind hybrid<strong> “Human & Technology” model, where AI assists human assessors, instead of replacing them aiming to upskilling people, providing data backed certification. </strong></p>
<p>Skyljo offers AI solutions<strong> </strong>that are part of the overall national strategy to improve and standardize skill assessment frameworks in the country. By standardizing the measurement of trade skills, Skyljo wants to give the youth of India a skill score that is recognized across the country, ensuring that they get a job that matches their actual potential.</p>
<p>With more than <strong>15,000 ITIs conducting 2 million+ assessments annually,</strong> India’s skill validation framework struggles with scalability and standardization. Skyljo applies AI to augment human evaluation, ensure data-backed certification, and generate granular performance analytics directly supporting the AI Impact Summit’s vision for strategic, real-world AI implementation.</p>
<p><em>“Today, workers are often judged simply as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ based on personal observation. Skyljo goes beyond that, our AI-driven platform tells exactly which steps a worker has mastered and where improvement is needed. And we are addressing a real-world challenge without accelerating the process. By combining technology with human insight, Skyljo ensures that every certification is reliable, verifiable, and trusted by industry,” </em>said<strong> Ameet Padiyar, Founder of Skyljo.</strong></p>
<p>At the India AI Impact Summit 2026, Ameet Padiyar was present along with the Skyljo team members and garnered significant attention from senior bureaucrats and industry leaders at the Summit, who recognized the social impact of applying high-end technology at the grassroots level. With a long-term vision to build one national AI-based assessment platform, Skyljo aims to bring greater transparency, standardization, and employability to India’s vast skilling ecosystem.</p>
<p><strong>About Skyljo : </strong></p>
<p>Skyljo is an AI-powered skill evaluation platform that aims to change the way blue-collar talent is assessed in India. Instead of replacing human evaluators, Skyljo relies on camera-based and data-driven technology to make the evaluation process more objective, scalable, and transparent. This helps in pinpointing areas of strength and weakness, which in turn enables more equitable certification and analysis of training results.</p>

        <title>Best Crypto Presale as of 2026: Axiom Insider Trading Scandal Exposed, but DeepSnitch AI Offers Protection and Massive Growth as Stage 6 Begins</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-125.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Best Crypto Presale as of 2026: Axiom Insider Trading Scandal Exposed, but DeepSnitch AI Offers Protection and Massive Growth as Stage 6 Begins-PNN"></p><p dir="ltr">There was a new development in the crypto market following the exposure of a massive insider trading operation. This particular event indicates the urgent need for transparent infrastructure. When internal employees exploit their access to front-run the market, retail traders are the ones left paying the price.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Things like this are why <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presale-2026-axiom-insider-trading-deepsnitch-protection-stage-6" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> is getting massive attention among high-potential presales. DeepSnitch AI stands as likely the best crypto presale, offering the verifiable safety and explosive growth that investors need.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">The Axiom insider trading exposé</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Renowned on-chain investigator ZachXBT <a href="https://x.com/zachxbt/status/2027016064534757659">uncovered</a> a systemic insider trading ring operating within the Axiom trading platform since the beginning of the year. The investigation detailed how an employee allegedly weaponized internal corporate tools to monitor sensitive user data and track private wallet activities.</p>
<p dir="ltr">By possessing advanced knowledge of user transactions, the offending parties were able to execute trades ahead of the public. This was basically stealing value from the platform’s own clientele.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The fallout from this discovery has been swift and severe. Axiom quickly issued a public statement expressing disappointment and confirming the revocation of internal tool access.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">The best crypto presale in March 2026</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Investors are realizing that the most promising new crypto projects are those that actively promote verification and transparency.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI ($DSNT): The best crypto presale to buy now</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Axiom insider trading scandal highlights a critical vulnerability: everyday traders are constantly competing against insiders armed with superior data. DeepSnitch AI directly solves this problem by acting as the ultimate market equalizer. The platform makes elite intelligence available to everyone, giving the exact same tracking and analytical power used by whales and insiders to smaller investors.</p>
<p dir="ltr">By uncovering hidden wallet connections and tracking the flow of smart money, DeepSnitch AI ensures that its users are never left in the dark. This helps in neutralizing the unfair advantages exploited by bad actors. And with the new dev updates by the DeepSnitch AI team, the platform is fully operational and easy to use.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As one of the best crypto presale projects, DeepSnitch AI has raised over $1.7 million, with the token price experiencing a massive surge of over 175%. For investors, this early momentum is a direct indicator of future profitability.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Getting involved in high-potential presales before major price hikes is the key to generational wealth. And with <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presale-2026-axiom-insider-trading-deepsnitch-protection-stage-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> entering Stage 6, the current entry price represents a massive opportunity.</p>
<p dir="ltr"></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Maxi Doge presale update</h3>
<p dir="ltr">For the best crypto presale, it is always important to look beyond surface-level marketing. Maxi Doge often appears in discussions regarding new crypto projects. But one thing is that a deeper analysis reveals issues with the structure of the presale. And that makes it highly dangerous for serious investors.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The most glaring issue is that the top five holders control more than 95% of the entire token supply. Furthermore, the project suffers from a low trust score, lacks a verified team, and offers no utility beyond meme culture. In a market demanding transparency after the Axiom scandal, centralized meme coins fail to qualify as high-potential presales.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">LiquidChain presale outlook</h3>
<p dir="ltr">LiquidChain is another project attempting to stand out among early-access token sales. It presents a non-upgradeable contract with no minting functions and zero transfer taxes, aiming to attract security-conscious buyers. However, similar to Maxi Doge, LiquidChain suffers from severe supply concentration.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This places too much power in the hands of a few unknown wallets. Another thing that is very concerning is the highlighted security vulnerabilities regarding its front-end infrastructure. Reports indicate a high risk of phishing attacks due to missing security headers and poor configuration. Hence, DeepSnitch AI remains the logical choice for those seeking the best crypto presale with excellent security.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">The bottom line</h2>
<p dir="ltr">As the Axiom scandal shatters trust in centralized platforms, flawed tokens like Maxi Doge and LiquidChain expose their hidden risks. But DeepSnitch AI is one of the few projects solving the problem with a live platform that protects its users while offering unmatched financial upside.</p>
<p dir="ltr">An initial purchase of $37,000 at the current price of $0.04146 yields about 892,426 DSNT tokens. By applying the promo code DSNTVIP300, investors instantly unlock a massive 300% bonus.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Visit the <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presale-2026-axiom-insider-trading-deepsnitch-protection-stage-6" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">official DeepSnitch AI website</a>, join <a href="https://t.me/deepsnitchofficial">Telegram</a>, and follow on <a href="https://x.com/deepsnitchai">X</a> for more updates.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">What makes DeepSnitch AI the best crypto presale following the Axiom insider trading news?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI is considered the best crypto presale. This is because its live operational tools provide the exact transparency and wallet-tracking capabilities needed to protect retail investors.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Why are high-potential presales better investments than established centralized platform tokens?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">High-potential presales that focus on decentralized verification offer verifiable security. But centralized platform tokens rely entirely on trust, which is frequently broken by bad actors exploiting internal systems.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">What are the major risks associated with early-access token sales like LiquidChain?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Many early-access token sales like LiquidChain suffer from severe supply concentration and unverified teams.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-27T124543.847.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt='Medhavi Pictures On Making The Holi Banger Tera Yaar Aayega: "We Target Songs That Common People Will Relate To" -PNN'></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 27</strong>: The newly released Holi track Tera Yaar Aayega has been receiving a warm and positive response from the audience. From colourful visuals to an energetic vibe, the song has quickly found its space among festive playlists. Released on the YouTube channel of Talk Timee TV, the track features Rishabh Jaiswal and Sana Khan and marks the first production venture of Medhavi Pictures.</p>
<p>Talking about the vision behind the song, Medhavi Pictures shared that the idea was simple and close to the heart. “Holi is literally our favourite festival. Like I can say that we can play Holi at any age, on any banger, because we love Holi that much. That was the main motive to come up with a Holi song as our first song, first release, as our first production,” they said.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DVIY4neDLX_/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.instagram.com/p/DVIY4neDLX_/</a></p>
<p>They made it clear that the intention was not to create something complicated or niche. “So, Medhavi is always going to target festive songs and songs that common people will relate to; they’ll dance on it. So, basically, that was the vision.” The focus was more on celebration and relatability rather than trying to fit into a particular category, like romantic or party anthem. The idea was to create something upbeat that people could actually enjoy during Holi.</p>
<p>Holi songs are always competitive during the festive season, with multiple releases happening around the same time. When asked what makes Tera Yaar Aaega stand out, Medhavi Pictures answered honestly, “Holi songs are competitive, no doubt, during the festive season. But, kya maza hai na bina competition ke market mei utro toh. So, this was the thought behind it that we want to come with a banger, and Holi is the best thing.”</p>
<p>The team added, “So, we didn’t think about competition and everything. We just went with our heart that we want to make something on Holi, something very good and upbeat.” For them, the goal was clear — make a song that feels festive and real.</p>
<p>Speaking about casting Rishabh Jaiswal and Sana Khan, the makers hinted that the choice was based on suitability for the vibe and energy the song demanded. The pair brings freshness and chemistry to the screen, which adds to the song’s charm.</p>
<p>Rishabh Jaiswal shared what made him say yes to the project. “In the beginning, when I heard that it’s going to be a Holi song. You know, the whole setup, the whole vibe, especially the song. The first thing that I heard was the song, and I instantly fell in love with it because it is written very beautifully.” He further said, “After hearing it, I actually felt that it is a Holi song and I should definitely be a part of it. After knowing about the whole production process and how exactly they’re planning to shoot it. I got really excited.” For him, the vibe was enough to sign on.</p>
<p>Sana Khan also opened up about her excitement. “What excited me the most was finally getting to experience Holi the way I always wanted. I genuinely love this song,” she said. She added that since Holi often falls during Ramadan, she hasn’t always been able to celebrate it freely. “During the shoot, I played Holi with full masti, and the joy you see on screen is completely real.”</p>
<p>With festive colours, catchy beats and honest intentions, Tera Yaar Aayega seems to have struck the right chord this Holi season.</p>

<p>In a heartfelt message shared online, the creators reflected on the spirit behind the song, stating that when it was originally composed, it was intended as a sincere offering to the nation — a musical expression of love, pride, and cultural identity.</p>
<p>The recent post also extended gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his inspiring leadership and for showcasing India’s rich cultural heritage on the global stage. The message emphasized how India’s cultural soul continues to unite and inspire generations worldwide.</p>

<p>Particularly touching was the mention of young children featured in the shared visuals, whose performances were described as deeply moving and symbolic of the country’s bright future. Their enthusiasm and innocence have struck a chord with audiences, reinforcing the timeless relevance of the song’s patriotic message.</p>
<p>Originally released decades ago, “I Love My India” remains one of the most enduring musical tributes to national pride — a song that continues to evoke strong emotional connections among Indians both at home and abroad. Its renewed popularity highlights the lasting power of cultural expression in strengthening national unity and identity.</p>
<p>Today, “I Love My India” stands not merely as a film song, but as an enduring symbol of national identity — a melody that continues to unite hearts, inspire pride, and celebrate the soul of India.</p>

        <title>Actor Swastika Mukherjee Headlines in an Indo&amp;American Production Chheledhora</title>

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/actor-swastika-mukherjee-headlines-in-an-indo-american-production-chheledhora</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-27-2-26-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Swastika Mukherjee"></p><p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 27: </strong>Known for her Hindi outings with Qala (2022), Pataallok (2020) and Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! (2015), actor Swastika Mukherjee bags the lead role of an Indo-American Production titled Chheledhora. All set to go on floors on March 1, Chheledhora will be shot across unexplored locations of Itanagar and Ziro in Arunachal Pradesh.</p>
<p>The film will be helmed by Shieladitya Moulik, who is basking in the glory of Surjo, his recent theatrical hit which ran for 11 weeks. Moulik is no stranger to Bollywood, he has directed Mrs. Scooter (2015) and more recently Charak which made waves at Cannes in 2025 and now set to hit the theatres at home.</p>
<p>Chheledhora centres on Brishti, a divorced, deeply-flawed and misunderstood woman played by Mukherjee, who impulsively “steals” her daughter for a birthday celebration, only to find the child abducted for real. Brishti must remedy the situation but adopts the most unconventional approach in a twist of fate which pushes her to a life-altering journey for self-absorbed parents forced to confront their own shortcomings as caretakers.</p>
<p>The film blends emotional family drama with thriller elements and dark humour, positioning itself as a rare Bengali-language road movie anchored by a morally-complex female protagonist. Poised to travel the international film festival circuit upon completion Chheledhora will break language barriers to celebrate the language of cinema.</p>
<p>Speaking about her role an excited Swastika said, “Brishti is not an easy woman to like, and that’s what moved me, she is impulsive, wounded and deeply flawed, but her love for her daughter is instinctive and fierce. I was drawn to the vulnerability in her – the way this unexpected journey forces her to confront herself. At its heart, this is a very tender story about motherhood, forgiveness and finding strength in the most fragile moments.”</p>
<p>Shieladitya Moulik, writer and director said, “Chheledhora is a story about broken parents discovering the courage and selflessness they didn’t know they possessed,” said Moulik. “I’m deeply interested in flawed people who are still capable of love. This film may unfold like a road journey with unexpected twists and turns, but at its heart, it’s about healing — about how children, often unknowingly, become the moral compass for adults. It’s a very intimate story about second chances and rediscovering one’s humanity.”</p>
<p>He added, “I’m really excited to shoot in Arunachal Pradesh. It is not just picturesque but a hub for talented actors and technicians. We have as many as 14- cast crew members from the region. While Arunachal Pradesh is the heart of our film, we have stretched the canvas with an Indo- American production, an Italian cinematographer Vincenzo Condorelli and a strategic international festival run plan”.</p>
<p>Produced by Handyyman (Mumbai) and Sita22 Films (USA/India), Chheledhora marks a notable Indo-American collaboration and further underscores the growing global appetite for rooted regional-language stories with universal emotional stakes.</p>

        <title>Rumaya Expands Its Herbal Portfolio with Strong Focus on Customer Experience</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/rumaya-expands-its-herbal-portfolio-with-strong-focus-on-customer-experience</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/rumaya-expands-its-herbal-portfolio-with-strong-focus-on-customer-experience</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ Rumaya has always been against shortcuts, quick fixes, or misleading claims. Rumaya’s approach is slow, thoughtful, and honest. Every formulation and products they have as of now, be it face mask, herbal soaps, face serum, hair oil, hair mask, hair shampoo, herbal hair color comes from personal experience, careful research, and a genuine desire to offer something that is safe, effective, and real. With the same approach and by carefully picking natural ingredients Rumaya is expanding their range of products to include Wax powder, Body butter and solid perfumes.

 

Manisha ji, founder of Rumaya have struggled and disappointed with the false claims brands are doing these days, using lots of chemicals, artificial fragrance, fooling people by claiming to be herbal, organic and natural. If you take example of hair oil only, one we get in market is rich in mineral oil and concentration of almond oil or amla is very less but it is branded as almond oil, Amla oil, Bhringraj oil. With Rumaya, founder’s goal has been to educate people about how powerful our mother nature is, how to benefit from it and not run after the trending products which is not safe and harm the skin, hair and body health in the long run.

 

Rumaya revitalizing hair oil is hand made, a blend of Cold pressed almond oil, mustard oil, castor oil, coconut oil, and herbs like jatamansi, manjistha, bhringraj, beetroot, amla, shikakai. These ingredients are infused for 2 months in the oils so that heating does not kill goodness of these natural herbs. It works as a gem for hair and our customers really appreciate the product which motivates the brand to make it reach more and more people and benefit them.

 

It is very fascinating to notice that our mother’s and grandmother’s generation had solid believe in our nature, herbs, kitchen based ingredients. They believed in the fact that we should use only those products on our skin, body and hair which we can eat or that comes from nature.

 

Founder Manisha ji has an interesting anecdote from her childhood she wants to share, how her mother used to apply masoor dal besan mixed with curd or milk since childhood on face and body, she believed in the goodness and purity of kitchen based ingredients, never trusted any commercial branded products. A small habit built back then still remains with her, this has been her go to face mask forever,  masoor dal mixed with tomato juice, curd or potato juice. No other product available in market has given such results, how it exfoliates, cleanses blackheads and pores. Beauty was simpler those days.

 

This has been inspiration behind Rumaya face mask, which is our best seller till now. Masoor dal grinded, orange peel powder, kaolin clay, rice flour, everything mixed together.

 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Experiment phase continues to improve every batch</strong></h2>
 

Started with these two products, hair oil and face mask, Rumaya continues searching, exploring natural ingredients and understand their benefits, keep on experimenting and developing something new. Founder’s goal is to help their users fight lifestyle and environmental stress on their skin, hair and body that too nature’s way, not with any chemical.

 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>One product Rumaya developed on which they are proud of is Rumaya herbal hair color</strong></h2>
 

Nowadays premature greying of hair has been a major challenge, in this fast pacing world it is very difficult to cover greys without chemicals, there are so many synthetic colors available in market, have very harsh chemicals like PPD, Ammonia. In the search of natural and herbal people turn towards henna, but henna does not make hair black but gives an orangish tint also makes hair frizzy. Rumaya has developed a formula that could match their hair color and nourishes hair while coloring. HENNA, BHRINGRAJ, BEETROOT POWDER, BRAHMI, GURHAL/HIBISCUS, AREETHA, SHIKAKAI, ANWLA, INDIGO, NAGARMOTHA, JATAMASI, MANJISHTHA. Beetroot, indigo gives natural hair like color. Anvla, areetha, shikakai, hibiscus, bhringraj helps in hair nourishment.

 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What does Rumaya’s customers say and feel</strong></h2>
 

With effort and hard work Rumaya has been able to gain trust of more than 1 lakh customers at present, family is growing each day. Hair mask, hair color, face mask being the best seller. Rumaya inspires people to move towards nature and quit chemical based skincare, haircare.

 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How the brand name Rumaya chosen</strong></h2>
 

The name Rumaya for vision of the brand stands for purity, honesty, and going back to what truly works. If you are looking for something that is chemical free and rooted deep in our culture, no chemical, no artificial fragrance but ingredients that works on the cause not cover the issue, Rumaya is made for you. ]]></description>

        <title>The Algorithm His Mother Built</title>

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/the-algorithm-his-mother-built</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-76.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="The Algorithm His Mother Built-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><em>Before there were patents and billion-dollar supply chains, there was a woman standing outside a headmaster’s office. Every morning. For a year. Shekhar Natarajan is still running the code she wrote.</em></p>
<p><strong>Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], February 27: </strong>The school uniform is plaid — the kind of cheap synthetic fabric that softens with age, that every laundry cycle softens a little more until it starts to look like something worn with love rather than worn out. A hundred children are wearing it on this particular morning in a courtyard of cracked concrete in one of Hyderabad’s underserved settlements. They’ve crowded around a tall man in a white kurta, pressing against his arms, some reaching up to touch his sleeve, the way children everywhere test whether a visitor is real or just passing through.</p>
<p>Shekhar Natarajan, 45, does not look like a man who holds more than seventy patents. He does not look like someone who transformed a $30 million grocery operation into a $5 billion business for Walmart, or who is preparing, in a matter of weeks, to address the World Economic Forum on the future of artificial intelligence. What he looks like, standing in this courtyard, is someone who grew up somewhere very much like this.</p>
<p>Which is, of course, exactly the point.</p>
<h2>I. The Founding Investment</h2>
<p>There is a specific kind of financial transaction that economists do not study: the pawning of a wedding ring to pay a school fee. It is not venture capital. It is not seed funding. It does not appear in any balance sheet or pitch deck. But Natarajan will tell you, if you ask him the right question, that it is the foundational investment behind everything he has built.</p>
<p>His mother — a woman from South Central India whose name he invokes with a particular quality of stillness — sold her wedding ring for thirty rupees when the family needed to fund his education. Thirty rupees. In today’s money, the kind of amount that wouldn’t buy you a cup of filter coffee in the Hyderabad café district. In the economy of sacrifice, it was everything.</p>
<p>But the money was only the half of it. The other half was time.</p>
<p>“She stood outside the headmaster’s office,” Natarajan says. “Every day. For three hundred and sixty-five days. Not because she had an appointment. Not because she had leverage. Because she had decided that this was where she would stand until something changed.”</p>
<p>He pauses here, in the way of a man who has told this story many times and has still not found words adequate to it.</p>
<p>“I don’t know another word for that except love. That kind of love is not a feeling. It is a technology. It produces outcomes.”</p>
<div>
<p><em>“She didn’t have power. She didn’t have access. She just had a decision. I’ve been trying to build AI systems with that same architecture ever since.”</em></p>
</div>
<h2>II. The $34 Suitcase</h2>
<p>He arrived in America with thirty-four dollars. He does not say this for drama — or not primarily for drama. He says it because he believes it is a data point, evidence in an argument he has been constructing for three decades: that the circumstances of a person’s origin tell you almost nothing about the ceiling of their potential, and that any system — political, institutional, technological — that treats origin as destiny is not just unjust but functionally stupid.</p>
<p>From thirty-four dollars, Natarajan built a career that took him through Georgia Tech, MIT, Harvard Business School, and IESE, and then into senior roles at some of the most recognizable consumer brands in the world. The man who grew up watching his mother stand in a corridor for a year would eventually help architect a logistics transformation at Walmart that moved nine-figure grocery revenues to ten-figure ones. He would contribute to innovation at Disney. He would accumulate patents — over seventy of them — the way some people accumulate degrees.</p>
<p>But the career, as impressive as it is on paper, is not the story he is trying to tell. It is the context for the story he is trying to tell.</p>
<p>“Every system I worked inside,” he says, “was optimizing for the wrong thing. Faster, cheaper, more efficient — yes. But more human? More dignified? That wasn’t in the KPIs. And I kept thinking: we have the most powerful technology in human history, and we’re using it to serve people who are already served.”</p>
<h2>III. What Silicon Valley Gets Wrong</h2>
<p>The artificial intelligence industry, in Natarajan’s view, has a fundamental architectural flaw — and it is not a technical one.</p>
<p>“The flaw is philosophical,” he says. “Every major AI system is built with ethics as a constraint. You build the system first, optimize it for performance, and then someone in a governance meeting asks: ‘wait, is this fair? Is this safe? Does this harm people?’ And then you bolt on a filter. You put guardrails on the outside.”</p>
<p>He leans forward. This is clearly a distinction that matters to him with almost physical intensity.</p>
<p>“My mother did not put compassion on the outside of her decisions as a filter. It was the decision. The love was the architecture, not the guardrail. That is what I am trying to build.”</p>
<p>He calls it Angelic Intelligence — a framework built on what he describes as virtue-native AI, where ethical reasoning is not applied after the fact but embedded in the computational substrate itself. His 27 Digital Angels, a framework drawing on cross-cultural traditions of virtue from Confucian ethics to Ubuntu philosophy to the Vedantic concept of dharma, are not filters on top of a system. They are, in his formulation, the system.</p>
<p>The concept will be tested. Every ambitious framework in AI eventually meets the grinding specificity of the real world — the edge cases, the adversarial inputs, the competing stakeholder interests. Natarajan knows this. He has spent enough time in Fortune 500 boardrooms to understand the distance between a compelling idea and a deployed technology.</p>
<div>
<p><em>“The companies building AI fastest are not asking what it should be. They are asking what it can do. Those are not the same question.”</em></p>
</div>
<h2>IV. The Boy in the Courtyard</h2>
<p>Back in the courtyard, a girl — maybe eight years old, her uniform slightly too big for her, sleeves rolled up — has taken his hand. He has stopped mid-sentence in conversation with a visiting journalist. He kneels down.</p>
<p>They look at each other for a moment that is longer than it should be, given that they have never met. She has the unsentimental gaze of a child who has learned to take the measure of adults quickly.</p>
<p>He says something to her in Telugu. She says something back. He laughs.</p>
<p>“She told me my shoes are dirty,” he translates, standing up.</p>
<p>They are. He has walked through the settlement’s unpaved lanes to get here, and his leather shoes are coated in the reddish-brown dust that is, in some sense, the geological record of this part of the city.</p>
<p>He doesn’t seem bothered. He looks, if anything, pleased.</p>
<p>“Children here see everything,” he says. “They miss nothing. The question is only whether the world will build systems that see them back.”</p>
<h2>V. A Thousand-Year Problem</h2>
<p>Every morning at 4 AM — before the technology industry wakes up, before the markets open, before the conference calls begin — Shekhar Natarajan paints. Classical Indian forms. He has done this for years. It is, he explains, less a hobby than a discipline of attention.</p>
<p>“Painting teaches you that the good things take time,” he says. “There is no shortcut in a brushstroke. The hand learns slowly. The eye learns slowly. Wisdom accumulates like sediment.”</p>
<p>He is preparing to speak at Davos and at the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh — rooms full of the people who will make decisions about AI’s trajectory over the next decade. His message there will be, in essence, the same as his message in this courtyard: that the technology being built right now is making choices about who gets to be seen, and those choices have consequences that will outlast the quarterly earnings cycle by several centuries.</p>
<p>“The Indian intellectual tradition thinks in ten-thousand-year cycles,” he says. “Silicon Valley thinks in eighteen-month product roadmaps. Somewhere in between those two timeframes is the actual problem.”</p>
<p>He is, it should be said, not without self-awareness about the scale of his ambition — or its risks. He is building a company, not just a philosophy. The patents are real. The business models are real. The gap between virtue-native AI as concept and virtue-native AI as deployed infrastructure is real and large and requires capital and engineering talent and enterprise customers.</p>
<p>He talks about all of this without apparent anxiety, which is either the equanimity of a man who has made peace with uncertainty or the confidence of one who has been in harder rooms than a venture capital pitch meeting. Given the biography, both seem plausible.</p>
<div>
<p><em>“I left India with thirty-four dollars. I’ve been in deficit before. The question is not what you start with. The question is what you are oriented toward.”</em></p>
</div>
<h2>Coda: The Boomerang</h2>
<p>An hour after arriving, Natarajan is preparing to leave. The children have mostly dispersed back into their classrooms. The courtyard is quieter now, just a few stragglers and the low sound of a lesson being conducted somewhere inside the building.</p>
<p>He stops at the gate. Looks back.</p>
<p>“My parents sent something into the world,” he says, not to the journalist exactly, more to the general air of the place. “My mother with her ring and her three hundred and sixty-five mornings. My father with his quiet generosity. They sent it forward. And it came back to me — as opportunities, as mentors, as the people who appeared exactly when I needed them to appear.”</p>
<p>He is quiet for a moment.</p>
<p>“Now I have to send it forward again. That is all this is. That is what Angelic Intelligence is. The ring my mother pawned — I’m trying to give it back. A million times over. In a form she never could have imagined but would immediately recognize.”</p>
<p>He walks out through the gate. Behind him, through the window of a classroom, a girl is writing something on a chalkboard.</p>
<p>She doesn’t know a man just stood in her courtyard who grew up somewhere very much like this place, who left with thirty-four dollars, who came back decades later convinced that the most important thing he could build was not a faster supply chain or a more efficient algorithm, but something that learned — structurally, computationally, irreversibly — to see people like her.</p>
<p>She’s just doing her homework.</p>
<p>But the room she’s sitting in has electricity now. And somewhere, invisibly, a technology is being designed that might one day look at her and decide she is worth seeing.</p>
<p>Her mother’s sacrifice — whatever form it took, whatever ring she may have pawned or corridor she may have stood in — is already in the system.</p>
<p>That’s the bet, anyway.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-27T125329.969.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="HROne -PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 27:</strong> HROne, a leading HCM software, today released <em>AI in HR 2026: State of Adoption, Readiness & Impact</em>, a national research study revealing a widening structural gap in enterprise HR that only <strong>1.4% of organizations qualify as fully “AI-First,”</strong> with mature governance and accountability frameworks in place.</p>
<p>Unveiled at the <a href="https://www.business-standard.com/content/press-releases-ani/hrone-ai-summit-2026-concludes-reframing-ai-in-hr-as-a-leadership-mandate-rather-than-a-technology-trend-126021900508_1.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HROne AI Summit 2026</a>, the report draws insights from 693 HR leaders across startups, mid-market firms, and large enterprises. The findings show that AI adoption is accelerating particularly in recruitment, analytics, and HR operations, but institutional clarity around decision ownership and ethical oversight remains underdeveloped.</p>
<p>As AI begins shaping who gets hired, promoted, flagged for attrition risk, or cleared in payroll cycles, gaps in governance increasingly translate into enterprise risk affecting compliance, fairness, reputation, and leadership credibility.</p>
<p>The central message is clear: AI is already shaping people’s decisions. What remains undefined is who ultimately owns those decisions and how they are defended.</p>
<h2><strong>Inside the Report: Mapping AI’s Influence on HR Decisions</strong></h2>
<p><em>HROne’s AI in HR 2026 Report</em> moves beyond <a name="_Int_pbcycpyF"></a>adoption metrics to assess decision maturity and structural readiness. It combines benchmark data with interpretive analysis to evaluate where AI is embedded in live workflows and whether it is being scaled responsibly.</p>
<p>Key insights include:</p>
<ul>
<li>68% of HR teams remain in pre-scale stages of AI maturity</li>
<li>Only 1.4% qualify as “AI-First,” combining scaled usage with governance readiness</li>
<li>Recruitment and analytics lead adoption, driven by volume and decision latency pressure</li>
<li>Governance and ethical preparedness rank as the weakest maturity pillars</li>
<li>Most HR leaders expect 25–40% of HR work to be augmented by AI by 2026 not replaced</li>
<li>Adoption is largely bottom-up, while governance remains fragmented</li>
</ul>
<p>The report introduces the <strong>HROne AI Index 2026</strong>, a benchmark framework measuring organizations across three pillars:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI Adoption</strong> – Live workflow integration</li>
<li><strong>AI Readiness</strong> – Skills, governance, and cultural preparedness</li>
<li><strong>AI Impact</strong> – Measurable efficiency, quality, employee experience, and credibility gains</li>
</ul>
<p>The index reveals a consistent pattern: technology deployment is outpacing structural preparedness.</p>
<h2><strong>Why This Report Matters for HR Leadership Now</strong></h2>
<p>AI’s presence in HR is no longer hypothetical. It is already influencing hiring shortlists, attrition risk signals, payroll anomaly detection, performance documentation, employee query resolution, and more.</p>
<p>However, the study highlights a structural imbalance: Adoption is largely bottom-up and pressure-driven. Governance is top-down and incomplete. This creates a fragile middle state where AI influences decisions without clearly defined ownership frameworks.</p>
<p>For CHROs and HR leaders, the report reframes the conversation from tool adoption to structural readiness. As noted in the report’s foreword:</p>
<p><em>“AI will not reduce the importance of HR. It will redefine it. The question is no longer whether HR should use AI but whether HR will lead AI adoption or be led by it.”</em><br>
—Karan Jain, Founder, HROne</p>
<p>The research emphasizes that the real competitive advantage lies not in deploying more AI tools, but in designing systems where human judgment, explainability, and ethical accountability remain intact.</p>
<h2><strong>Why This Matters for India’s Business Ecosystem</strong></h2>
<p>India’s workforce scale, regulatory complexity and high-volume HR environments create conditions where AI is adopted quickly, often out of operational necessity.</p>
<p>However, the report argues that scaling AI without defined accountability structures introduces systemic risks:</p>
<ul>
<li>Unclear ownership of AI-influenced hiring outcomes</li>
<li>Bias exposure without audit mechanisms</li>
<li>Payroll or compliance errors amplified by automation</li>
<li>Leadership decisions influenced by opaque algorithmic signals</li>
</ul>
<p>In a market where trust and governance increasingly shape enterprise valuation, AI maturity in HR becomes a board-level issue, not merely a functional one.</p>
<p>The study suggests that the next competitive advantage will not belong to organizations that deploy AI fastest, but to those that embed it with explainability, human oversight and decision clarity.</p>
<h2><strong>Extending HROne’s Vision: Building People-First AI Systems at Scale</strong></h2>
<p>The launch of the research reflects HROne’s long-term commitment to responsible, execution-grounded AI integration in HR. Rather than positioning AI as a feature upgrade, the report frames it as an operating model shift — one that requires workflow redesign, AI fluency, human-in-the-loop governance, and structured bias review mechanisms.</p>
<p><em>“The most powerful HR teams of tomorrow won’t be the biggest — they’ll be the most AI-enabled. At HROne, we are making sure that every business, regardless of size, walks into that future fully equipped. AI is our biggest investment, our boldest commitment, and our clearest direction,”</em> says <strong>Karan Jain, Founder, HROne.</strong></p>
<p>The study concludes that HR’s strategic relevance in the AI era will depend on its ability to combine speed with accountability — enabling AI to accelerate decisions without eroding trust. Organizations that institutionalize governance alongside AI will build durable credibility. Those that pursue automation without structural oversight risk operational velocity without sustainable trust. In the AI era, HR will not be judged by how much it automates. It will be judged by how well it defends the decisions AI helps make.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-74.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Rewriting the Rules: AdCounty Media’s Vision for AI Powered Advertising-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><span data-sheets-root="1"><strong>New Delhi [India], February 27:</strong> </span>Today’s advertising landscape is driven by more than creativity alone. Algorithms, data, and precision now dictate how brands connect with audiences. In this evolving AdTech ecosystem, one name stands out – AdCounty Media.</p>
<p>Founded in 2017 in Jaipur, AdCounty has transformed from a mobile ad network into a publicly listed, AI powered AdTech company, with a footprint in 47 countries. Its growth is not merely geographic, it reflects a fundamental reimagining of advertising in a privacy first, AI driven world.</p>
<p><strong>AI at the Core, Not on the Side<br>
</strong>At AdCounty, AI is not treated as a supporting layer, it is foundational. From real time automation and optimization to advanced fraud prevention, intelligence is embedded across the ecosystem.</p>
<p><em>“AI is not just about automation anymore. It’s about experience. When built with intent, technology moves beyond algorithms to create human- first solutions that unlock real, long term business impact, “says <strong>Aditya Jangid, Chairman & Managing Director.</strong></em></p>
<p>Mr. Jangid’s philosophy is brought to life through AdCounty’s flagship DSP (Demand Side Platform), BidCounty, which processes over 10 billion impressions monthly. Designed for a cookieless future, the platform leverages contextual intelligence and first-party data to remain both performance driven and privacy compliant.</p>
<p>By FY2025, BidCounty became a significant contributor to AdCounty’s overall revenue, reflecting the growing industry shift toward AI-driven, transparent media buying.</p>
<p><strong>Redefining Mobile Performance with Opsis Pro<br>
</strong>As mobile emerged as the dominant digital channel, AdCounty launched Opsis Pro in late 2025, redefining mobile performance marketing with accountability at its core.</p>
<p>Key features include:<br>
• Continuous AI driven optimization for improved conversions<br>
• Privacy compliant audience intelligence<br>
• Real time tracking of installs, retention, and revenue<br>
• Multi-layer AI fraud detection ensuring brand safety.</p>
<p>The platform is built on a simple conviction: intelligence without intent is incomplete. As <strong><em>Delphin Varghese, Co-Founder and Whole time Director</em></strong>,<em> explains,<br>
“We’re living in a time where AI can optimize every detail and power the engine, but the direction has to remain human because at the end of the day, ads still need to connect with people.”</em></p>
<p>This belief has shaped a mobile growth platform that delivers scale with clarity, eliminating opacity and setting a rare new standard in performance advertising.</p>
<p><strong>What’s Next : Search, Leads, and Connected TV<br>
</strong>AdCounty’s roadmap demonstrates a clear and deliberate vision for the future of advertising.</p>
<p>• <strong>iSearch Ads</strong> – AI driven optimization for Apple Search Ads, enhancing iOS app discovery<br>
• <strong>Genwin –</strong> Brand safe lead generation for BFSI, Real Estate, and B2B sectors using high quality PPC models<br>
• <strong>SeeTV –</strong> Connected TV solutions integrating shoppable formats with precise household level targeting within the Apple ecosystem</p>
<p>Together, these platforms allow AdCounty to manage the entire funnel from discovery to conversion across emerging digital touchpoints.</p>
<p><em>“In the digital age, agility drives success,” says <strong>Chandan Garg, Managing Director. </strong>“With AI and strategic thinking working together, Adtech is evolving from disruption to value using technology to anticipate market needs ahead of time.”</em></p>
<p><strong>An Indian Blueprint for AI Led Advertising<br>
</strong>AdCounty Media’s journey mirrors the broader transformation of global advertising. By building proprietary AI platforms, embracing privacy- first principles, and maintaining disciplined financial practices, the company demonstrates what sustainable scale in AdTech truly looks like.</p>
<p>Beyond a success story, AdCounty offers a compelling blueprint for Indian companies aspiring to become global AdTech leaders rooted in technology, trust, and measurable impact. In an industry increasingly defined by algorithms, AdCounty Media is not just adapting to the rules of advertising, it is redefining them.</p> ]]></description>

<p>Built on a strong foundation of integrity, innovation, and performance, the company continues to strengthen its operational capabilities in alignment with its long-term growth vision.</p>
<p>In a significant milestone aligned with the stated Use of Proceeds in its RHP, the company has successfully completed the <strong>automation of Plant A under Phase 1</strong>, which is now fully automatic and operational. This development marks a major step toward enhancing production efficiency, quality consistency, and scalable manufacturing.</p>
<p>Alongside operational expansion, the company has also made steady progress on its sustainability roadmap. The <strong>land acquisition for the 2 MW solar power plant</strong> has been completed, and <strong>plantation activities are currently underway</strong>. The solar project is <strong>expected to be handed over by the end of March</strong>, reinforcing the company’s commitment to energy-efficient and environmentally responsible manufacturing.</p>
<p><strong>Speaking on the development, Mr. Manoj Upadhyay, Managing Director,</strong> said,<br>

They say the dominance of sellers is an indication of declining demand. In the meantime, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon warned that the existing lending risks are similar to those of 2008.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The search for high-growth opportunities in the crypto space has led many to a new rising star called <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presale-deepsnitch-ai-based-eggman-blazpay" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">DeepSnitch AI (DSNT)</a>. The presale gem has captured high market momentum, raising over $1.71M in funding.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Its price has also increased by 175% to $0.04146, positioning it as the best crypto presale for huge returns. With its innovative suite of AI agents already operational, DeepSnitch AI could outpace competitors, potentially delivering returns of 100X-300X to early buyers.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Analysts see further Bitcoin downside as  JPMorgan CEO cites similarity to 2008 crisis</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Bitcoin is experiencing increasing downside risks, with analysts citing declining on-chain metrics and macro market issues. CryptoQuant data indicate that the Coinbase Premium Index could not hold above zero, a sign of low buying pressure.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Also, market observer Ted declared that Bitcoin has broken the support level of $65,000, leaving liquidity pools between $60,000 and $63,000. Glassnode and 10x Research analysts expect the Bitcoin price to drop further in the coming days.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In the meantime, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warned that the current lending trends are similar to those of 2008. He added that excessive risk-taking would lead to cracks in financial markets, which would further confuse investors.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">What is the best crypto presale for asymmetric growth in 2026?</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. DeepSnitch AI (DSNT) tops the list of early investor tokens with 100x ROI</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Many traders have tagged DeepSnitch AI the best crypto presale in the market after a meteoric rise in the past few months. Presently, DeepSnitch AI is in the fifth stage of its presale and has raised more than $1.71M in revenue.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This is a testament to high demand among investors searching for the best crypto presale that could deliver over 100X gains. Interestingly, the latest development from the team reveals that the DeepSnitch AI network is now live and operational.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Also, DeepSnitch AI has included more upgrades to ensure traders and investors get the best experience. It has upgraded the user interface to make it more appealing and easier to use.</p>
<p dir="ltr">All the different agents are clearly arranged with little explanation, so you can tell them apart. AuditSnitch, SnitchGPT, SnitchScan, SnitchFeed, SnitchCast, and Explore work autonomously 24/7, tracking whale wallets, auditing contract security, and monitoring sentiment shifts as they happen.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The goal is to deliver real-time intelligence to retail traders to enable them to make better decisions and position themselves well. The features above make <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presale-deepsnitch-ai-based-eggman-blazpay" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> the best crypto presale to be part of right now for a huge ROI.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://youtu.be/jVCQ30HIJj8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/jVCQ30HIJj8</a></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. Based Eggman: Fusing gaming, streaming, and DeFi into one ecosystem</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Based Eggman is a utility-meme crypto presale project built on the Base blockchain. It combines gaming, streaming, and DeFi features to build a comprehensive ecosystem. Meanwhile, the platform’s native token plays a major role in the ecosystem.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The token powers rewards, in-app interactions, play-to-earn games, and social engagement, positioning it as one of the high-upside launches to keep an eye on. Presently, Based Eggman has raised over $307K in funding and is in stage 3.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">3. Blazpay leads the AI-powered DeFi revolution</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Blazpay is an AI-powered DeFi crypto presale project that blends smart automation with multi-chain finance tools. The project combines BlazAI automation, cross-chain staking, perpetual trading, and portfolio management into one ecosystem.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Presently, Blazpay could be one of the best new ICOs to watch today. Its presale has entered Phase 8 with $2.43 million and more than 263 million tokens sold as demand surges. The token is currently priced around $0.0205 per token and increases as the project continues.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Final verdict</h2>
<p dir="ltr">While there are several early token launches in the market, only a few have real potential. Many traders have realized that the best crypto presale this year could come from the AI sector, given the recent rush for artificial intelligence.</p>
<p dir="ltr">One project that might capture a large market share and give holders over 100X returns is DeepSnitch AI. Its presale numbers of over $1.71M in revenue and 175% growth already speak volumes.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Those who join now before the presale ends could see huge ROI before and after launch. You can get more DSNT coins by using the four bonus codes available before they expire.</p>

<p>According to experts at YES Italy, a consultancy specialising exclusively in Italian higher education admissions, early planning is essential for students aiming to maximise scholarship opportunities and secure placements in competitive programs while planning their Study Abroad journey.</p>
<h2>Why Choose Italy for Study Abroad?</h2>

        <title>India’s Real Estate Enters a Structural Growth Phase: Ashish Joshi on Institutional Depth and Governance&amp;Led Investing</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/indias-real-estate-enters-a-structural-growth-phase-ashish-joshi-on-institutional-depth-and-governance-led-investing</link>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-26-2-26-5.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Ashish" decoding="async"></p><p><em>Mr. Ashish Joshi, Managing Director, Landmark Capital Advisors</em></p>
<p><span data-sheets-root="1"><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 26:</strong> </span>India’s real estate sector is transitioning from cyclical expansion to structural consolidation. What was once largely liquidity-driven is now increasingly shaped by institutional capital, regulatory discipline, and income-oriented investing.</p>
<p>According to <strong>Ashish Joshi, Founder of </strong><a href="https://landmarkcapital.in/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Landmark Capital Advisors</strong></a>, Indian real estate is entering a phase defined less by speculative appreciation and more by structural fundamentals.</p>
<p>“This is not merely another upcycle. We are witnessing ecosystem-level strengthening — from regulatory transparency to institutional participation and capital sophistication,” says Joshi.</p>
<p><strong>A Structural Shift Backed by Data</strong></p>
<p>India remains the fastest-growing major economy, with GDP projected to expand at 6–7% annually over the medium term (IMF estimates). This macro resilience is translating into sustained real estate capital flows.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Institutional investments in Indian real estate crossed ~USD 5–6 billion annually in recent years</strong> (JLL, CBRE reports).</li>
<li>Over the past five years, cumulative institutional inflows have exceeded <strong>USD 25 billion</strong>.</li>
<li>Office, logistics, and residential assets account for the majority of this capital allocation.</li>
<li>REIT and AIF participation has deepened capital markets transparency.</li>
</ul>
<p>Unlike previous cycles, capital today is increasingly long-duration and yield-focused.</p>
<p>“Allocator conversations have evolved,” Joshi notes. “The focus has shifted from aggressive IRR targeting to income durability, downside protection, and asset-level governance.”</p>
<p><strong>Institutional Capital Is Reshaping Market Behavior</strong></p>
<p>Institutional participation — both global pension funds and domestic capital pools — is redefining investment frameworks.</p>
<p>Recent trends indicate:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Global Capability Centers (GCCs) leased over 40% of Grade-A office space in major Indian cities</strong> in the past year.</li>
<li>India’s total Grade-A office stock has expanded from ~450 million sq ft a decade ago to <strong>over 800 -900 million sq ft</strong>, with projections exceeding <strong>1.2–1.3 billion sq ft by 2030</strong>.</li>
<li>Logistics and warehousing stock has grown rapidly, supported by e-commerce expansion and supply-chain realignment.</li>
</ul>
<p>Beyond volume, the nature of capital has changed:</p>
<ul>
<li>Structured vehicles</li>
<li>Asset-level reporting</li>
<li>ESG and sustainability integration</li>
<li>Phased deployment strategies</li>
</ul>
<p>This signals a transition from momentum-driven allocation to process-driven capital deployment.</p>
<p><strong>Office Real Estate: Flight to Quality</strong></p>
<p>India continues to attract multinational corporations and GCC expansion across Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Pune, and NCR.</p>
<p>Gross office leasing in recent years has typically been in the 50–70 million sq ft annual range, with 2025 touching over 80 million sq ft, placing India among the largest global office markets.</p>
<p>However, growth is increasingly selective:</p>
<ul>
<li>Prime Grade-A assets show strong occupancy resilience.</li>
<li>Secondary inventory faces pricing and vacancy pressure.</li>
<li>Sustainability-certified buildings command rental premiums of 8–12% in certain micro-markets.</li>
</ul>
<p>“Quality-led dispersion will define performance,” says Joshi. “Tenant strength and asset management discipline will matter more than broad market optimism.”</p>
<p><strong>Residential: From Momentum to End-User Stability</strong></p>
<p>India’s residential sector has seen strong recovery:</p>
<ul>
<li>Annual housing sales across top 7 cities crossed <strong>300,000+ units</strong> in recent peak years (Anarock, PropEquity data).</li>
<li>Inventory overhang has reduced significantly from prior-cycle highs.</li>
<li>Premium and luxury segments have outperformed, particularly in Mumbai, NCR, and Bengaluru.</li>
</ul>
<p>However, the structural shift suggests normalization rather than overheating.</p>
<p>Demand is increasingly:</p>
<ul>
<li>End-user driven</li>
<li>Supported by urban income growth</li>
<li>Anchored in demographic strength (median age ~28 years)</li>
</ul>
<p>Landmark Capital Advisors emphasizes underwriting discipline in this phase:</p>
<ul>
<li>Developer governance</li>
<li>Execution timelines</li>
<li>Capital structuring</li>
<li>Cash flow visibility</li>
</ul>
<p>“Risk must be evaluated holistically, particularly in under-construction and premium segments where capital deployment spans multiple years,” Joshi explains.</p>
<p><strong>Governance as Competitive Advantage</strong></p>
<p>Regulatory evolution — including RERA implementation, REIT frameworks, and strengthened AIF compliance — has enhanced transparency.</p>
<p>Institutional allocators now assess:</p>
<ul>
<li>Reporting standards</li>
<li>Risk frameworks</li>
<li>Incentive alignment</li>
<li>Capital recycling discipline</li>
</ul>
<p>“Governance is no longer a compliance checkbox — it is a performance driver,” says Joshi.</p>
<p>Platforms that embed governance into structuring philosophy are increasingly preferred by long-term capital.</p>
<p><strong>The Rise of Income-Oriented Strategies</strong></p>
<p>Historically, valuation expansion drove a meaningful share of returns in Indian real estate. With cap-rate compression moderating in prime markets, the next phase will emphasize:</p>
<ul>
<li>Rental growth</li>
<li>Net operating income (NOI) expansion</li>
<li>Leasing execution</li>
<li>Structured refinancing</li>
</ul>
<p>India’s REIT market, now managing <strong>USD 15+ billion in assets</strong>, has demonstrated investor appetite for stabilized, income-generating assets.</p>
<p>Institutional investors are increasingly favoring:</p>
<ul>
<li>Stabilized commercial portfolios</li>
<li>Hybrid income-growth strategies</li>
<li>Operational value-add frameworks</li>
</ul>
<p>“Income visibility will anchor future performance,” Joshi notes. “Operational alpha will separate outperformers from passive participants.”</p>
<p><strong>Operational Alpha: The Next Differentiator</strong></p>
<p>As markets mature, execution becomes central to value creation:</p>
<ul>
<li>Leasing expertise</li>
<li>Asset repositioning</li>
<li>Sustainability integration</li>
<li>Financial engineering</li>
<li>Structured exits</li>
</ul>
<p>Landmark Capital Advisors focuses on phased capital deployment and volatility management frameworks to enhance long-term credibility.</p>
<p>“India’s growth story remains compelling. But the composition of returns is evolving,” says Joshi.</p>
<p><strong>Looking Ahead: Precision Over Expansion</strong></p>
<p>India’s structural growth shift reflects maturation, not slowdown.</p>
<p>Urbanization, infrastructure development, demographic advantage, and supply-chain repositioning continue to support real estate demand. However, broad-based appreciation is giving way to selective, governance-led growth.</p>
<p>According to Ashish Joshi, the next decade will reward:</p>
<ul>
<li>Governance integrity</li>
<li>Asset-level precision</li>
<li>Income durability</li>
<li>Operational excellence</li>
</ul>
<p>“The future of Indian real estate belongs to disciplined capital.”</p>
<p>As India advances through this structural transformation, real estate appears less driven by speculative cycles and more by institutional depth — where strategic clarity and execution excellence will ultimately determine long-term success.</p>

        <title>Top Crypto Presale in 2026 Set to Be DeepSnitch AI, With Live Tools and Upcoming 1000x Launch, as Render Pumps 12 Percent and ONDO Surges on RWA Momentum</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-27T101154.188.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Top Crypto Presale in 2026 Set to Be DeepSnitch AI, With Live Tools and Upcoming 1000x Launch, as Render Pumps 12% and ONDO Surges on RWA Momentum -PNN"></p><p dir="ltr"><strong>New Delhi [India], February 27: </strong>21 Shares has, as of the last week of February, listed a Bitcoin-backed yield ETP on Euronext Amsterdam. In doing so, it’s handed European investors regulated access to Strategy’s roughly 717,000 BTC treasury at an 11.25% annualized dividend.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Meanwhile, the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority selected Revolut and three other firms to pilot stablecoins inside its regulatory sandbox.</p>
<p dir="ltr">At full tint, institutions are getting their tentacles into the world of crypto, laying the bricks of infrastructure. And with that in mind, the top crypto presale with asymmetric upside right now could easily be <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=top-presale-render-ondo-2026" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a>.</p>
<p dir="ltr">An AI-powered intelligence platform with five agents already live and working, it’s designed to arm retail traders with the kind of edge usually reserved for insiders, and it’s already drummed up above $1.75 million.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For a short while longer, ahead of its launch in a few days’ time, it’s priced at just $0.04146. But because it has a 1000x launch anticipated in the very near future, there’s a slim chance to ensure you see the best of those gains.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Bitcoin yield hits Europe and the UK sandboxes stablecoins</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The 21Shares Strategy Yield ETP, <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/strategy-yield-europe-21shares-strc-etp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trading</a> under ticker STRC, wraps Strategy’s preferred stock (backed by roughly $47 billion in BTC) into a familiar format any European brokerage account can access. It’s the firm’s first equity-linked product, bridging traditional finance and Bitcoin in a way that prioritizes yield over speculation.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Hop across the channel, and the FCA chose Monee, ReStabilise, Revolut, and VVTX from 20 applicants to test stablecoin issuance, payments, and settlement under proposed UK rules. <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/uk-fca-names-first-4-firms-to-test-stablecoins" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Testing</a> kicks off this quarter, and the findings will have a palpable impact on final stablecoin regulation ahead of the broader crypto framework going live in October 2027.</p>
<p dir="ltr">By the time yield ETPs and regulated stablecoins fully mature, the opportunity for truly asymmetric returns will have narrowed. That’s why trending early-stage coins with working products are worth looking at right now, before it’s too late. And that’s especially true of top crypto presale projects with proven cred and powerful utility, which are the flames that power a rocket in 2026.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Top presale crypto projects and how tokens are responding to institutional brick-laying</h2>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">If you could actually check whether the contract is safe before you buy, in a way that wasn’t clunky and time-consuming but reliable and efficient, you’d probably do a lot of things differently.</p>
<p dir="ltr">That’s the purpose of DeepSnitch AI, an intelligence platform powered by five AI agents that scan, audit, and translate crypto markets into decisions you can trust.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Among these tools, to give you a sense of its powerful functioning, AuditSnitch lets you paste a contract address and get a plain verdict: CLEAN, CAUTION, or SKETCHY. To cough that verdict up, though, it checks ownership control, liquidity locks, hidden taxes, and known exploit patterns. That’s a whole lot of work done efficiently, drawing on the most reliable resources and insights, in a matter of seconds.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Also setting the experience apart is how clean the whole platform feels. The v8 production update rebuilt the interface from scratch, so every surface from login to deep token analysis has been polished for clarity under pressure:</p>
<p dir="ltr">There’s an intelligent caching layer now too, so the engine retains and reuses recently processed token signals, cutting redundant lookups and keeping things fast even under heavy traffic. Asset recognition has also been expanded so the risk engine correctly classifies established tokens without throwing false alarms.</p>
<p dir="ltr">All in all, the unified intelligence layer (all five snitches working as one system) is razor-sharp, built by expert on-chain analysts who are clear on what needs substantiating when doing your own research.</p>
<p dir="ltr">That’s the utility of this platform, for which there is a clear need, and its credibility has been fortified more and more with each tool already shipped to early holders during presale. This isn’t a false promise but a proven, working platform, for which there’s a real need in crypto.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Staking is live, uncapped and dynamic, meaning APR climbs as more users join. And with launch nearly here (days out now), this is the last stretch of one of the top crypto presale’s low pricing.</p>
<p dir="ltr">At $0.04146 and in Stage 5 of 15, DeepSnitch AI is still accessible to buy. Among trending early-stage coins, this kind of live deployment is almost unheard of, so best to buy now before it makes that projected 1000x run at launch and all those gains slip through the cracks formed by hesitation.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://youtu.be/HVnjHC08u_Y?si=fVFWtqeY7aqoiB74" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/HVnjHC08u_Y?si=fVFWtqeY7aqoiB74</a></p>
<ol start="2">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">Render</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Render’s made a bold 12.5% jump to around $1.50, powered by a 52% volume spike, and that’s a pretty sure sign that capital is coming back into AI infrastructure. Risk-on momentum is carrying a GPU compute network that rendered above 22 million frames throughout 2025, which likely explains that boost.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If Render makes it to $1.90 or so by early March, that would hardly be surprising. It may even make $3.20 by year’s end. Its fundamentals are rock-solid, but balancing that out is the fact that its market cap already reflects significant success.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With that in mind, if you want to see much more meaningful gains, you’ll need to head to the presales and early-stage tokens that have far more runway and enough credibility to power up.</p>
<ol start="3">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">Ondo Finance</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">ONDO is right in the thick of the RWA narrative, which is catching fire. A 14.4% rally to roughly $0.28, on a 33% volume surge, wasn’t driven by a single event, but it was the compound effect of tokenized Treasurys crossing $10 billion, Circle’s blowout earnings, and rising altcoin appetite across the board.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Resistance at $0.30 is the big test from here. The token could hit a ceiling near $0.77 for 2026 and above $1.20 by 2031, though, and while ONDO’s institutional credibility is genuine, high beta cuts both ways.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Final verdict</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Europe is getting Bitcoin yield products, while the UK is piloting stablecoins. Render is processing millions of frames, as ONDO is riding the tokenization surge.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But amid all this, it’s hard to ignore the rarity of DeepSnitch AI ahead of its launch, which is only days out now.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This is easily the best crypto presale in the 2026 market so far, with an anticipated 1000x run at launch powered by unusually sophisticated utility and credibility that’s pretty much impossible to find among other presales.</p>
<p dir="ltr">There’s no better time to get involved, but that’s even more true now that there are pre-launch bonus codes available. DSNTVIP30 adds 30% on positions above $2,000, while DSNTVIP300 delivers a 300% bonus on positions above $30,000.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Depending on how much you’re willing to put toward purchase, you’ll see compounding upside even before the token reaches the open market. And after that, the rewards could be truly beyond belief.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">What makes DeepSnitch AI a top crypto presale in 2026?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI has been shipping live AI agents during presale, including its five AI agents, central to the platform. It’s given holders functional tools and real intel before public launch, proven its credibility, and, among top presale crypto projects, that level of deployment is almost unheard of. For these reasons, its launch is projected to bring with it a 1000x run, which would cement its status as the top crypto presale of the year.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Is Render a good growth-stage token for 2026?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Render has strong GPU compute fundamentals with forecasts anticipating a brush with about $3.20 by year’s end. It’s an excellent option among growth-stage tokens, but DeepSnitch AI’s presale pricing at $0.04146 offers significantly more upside for those seeking 100x-1000x potential among top crypto presales.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Why are trending early-stage coins better for moonshot returns?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Trending early-stage coins like DeepSnitch AI are still at presale pricing that lets small demand increases create outsized returns. Established tokens like ONDO and Render have steady growth on the table, but their valuations curb the upside that DeepSnitch AI’s live utility and imminent launch can bring.</p>

        <title>Next Crypto to Explode in 2026: DeepSnitch AI Targets 300x ROI While NEAR And ONDO Fight For The Top Spot</title>

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/next-crypto-to-explode-in-2026-deepsnitch-ai-targets-300x-roi-while-near-and-ondo-fight-for-the-top-spot</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-114.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Next Crypto to Explode in 2026: DeepSnitch AI Targets 300x ROI While NEAR And ONDO Fight For The Top Spot-PNN"></p><p dir="ltr">Bit2Me, the Tether-backed Spanish exchange, ditched its retail identity entirely and is now building backend crypto infrastructure for some of Europe’s largest banks, including Cecabank, Bankinter, and BBVA.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Trading volume hit 5.3 billion euros in 2025, an eightfold jump since 2023, and crypto-backed loans on the platform surged 672% in a single year. It means traditional finance is quietly plugging into crypto rails, and the signal it sends about the next crypto to explode is hard to ignore.</p>
<p dir="ltr">When institutions start building the rails, the next pump does not go to the coins that are already listed and priced in. It goes to the projects sitting ahead of that wave with working products and presale pricing still intact.</p>
<p dir="ltr">There is one AI platform right now scanning whale wallets, sniffing private Telegram alpha, and flagging smart contract risks before they blow up your bags, and it is still in presale while the suits finish laying the tracks. That’s <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=next-crypto-to-explode-deepsnitch-ai-near-ondo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">DeepSnitch AI.</a></p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Bit2Me secured a full EU MiCA license and told every trader exactly where institutional crypto money is flowing</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Bit2Me secured a <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/business/2026/02/23/tether-backed-crypto-exchange-is-ditching-the-retail-label-to-build-the-secret-plumbing-for-europe-s-biggest-banks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">full EU MiCA license</a> and is now the backend crypto infrastructure provider for Cecabank, Bankinter, and BBVA, three of Spain’s most established financial institutions.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Traditional finance is not debating whether to enter crypto anymore. It is quietly wiring the infrastructure while retail traders are still arguing about whether the bull run is real.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Every cycle followed the same setup: institutions build the rails first, capital floods in second, and the traders who positioned in the right projects before that second step happened are the ones who never have to look back.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The next crypto to explode is sitting in that gap right now, and the window between institutional infrastructure going live and retail catching on is exactly where presale entries like DeepSnitch AI exist.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Top 3 next crypto to explode picks right now</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. DeepSnitch AI is the next crypto to explode for traders who want 300x upside at presale pricing</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Every cycle has that one name that keeps showing up in every serious trader’s next crypto to explode watchlist, and this cycle, that name is <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=next-crypto-to-explode-deepsnitch-ai-near-ondo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI.</a></p>
<p dir="ltr">The Feb 20 dev update just made the bull case airtight. DeepSnitch has officially crossed the threshold from an intelligence platform to a fully operational product. The network is live, layered, and actively serving users right now.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The latest build drops serious upgrades across the board. An intelligent caching layer now retains and reuses recently processed token signals, meaning faster intel with less noise under high-volume conditions, exactly what you need when the market is moving fast.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Asset recognition has been expanded so the risk engine correctly classifies established assets without false alarms cluttering your feed.</p>
<p dir="ltr">SnitchGPT got a full cognitive upgrade and no longer just interrogates data, it thinks, answering general crypto questions and market context queries grounded in live platform data.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The UX has been rebuilt for clarity under pressure, and Deep Plus is now fully unlocked, giving unrestricted access across Feed, Scan, Audit, Cast, GPT, and Explorer in one clean run.</p>
<p dir="ltr">All five AI agents are already live and running. They scan whale wallet movements on-chain, monitor private Telegram groups for alpha signals, and flag smart contract risks before retail traders get wrecked by them. This is hedge fund-level intelligence packaged into a token still priced at $0.04146 in presale.</p>
<p dir="ltr">$DSNT has already surged 170% from launch and crossed $1.68 million in total raises. A 30% token bonus kicks in on purchases above $2000, meaning a $2000 entry lands you roughly 62,728 tokens. If $DSNT reaches $1, your $2000 becomes $62,728.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As one of the most compelling breakout crypto projects in the current cycle, the upside math here is genuinely hard to find anywhere else right now.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://youtu.be/0u79mIYfyRQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/0u79mIYfyRQ</a></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. NEAR Protocol</h3>
<p dir="ltr">NEAR just launched Near.com, a full super app built on crypto rails that lets users swap across 35 chains, trade peer to peer, and go confidential, all from a single account.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Co-founder Illia Polosukhin calls this the agentic era, where AI does not just answer questions but takes action on behalf of users. NEAR hit 1 million TPS in 2025 and processed over $6 billion through its NEAR Intents cross-chain layer.</p>
<p dir="ltr">At current prices around $0.97 on February 24, NEAR is one of the next big cryptocurrency setups in the AI infrastructure lane. Analysts are calling a return to $5 to $8 by the end of 2026 a realistic target, which puts patient buyers at a 5x to 8x from here. It is not a presale, but it is one of the breakout crypto projects with a fresh product catalyst and a beaten-down price.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">3. ONDO</h3>
<p dir="ltr">ONDO is currently trading around $0.24 on February 24, and the disconnect between price and product has rarely been this wide.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The RWA tokenization market is projected to hit $16 trillion by 2030. ONDO is the next big cryptocurrency sitting at the center of that shift with ground-level pricing right now.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A move toward $1.50 to $2 by Q3 2026 is a realistic 6x to 8x from current levels, making it one of the more interesting coins ready to rally in the institutional DeFi lane this cycle.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion: Next crypto to explode is handsdown DeepSnitch AI</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Bit2Me embedding into European banking infrastructure is the kind of signal that confirms the cycle is real and the money is moving.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Traders hunting the next crypto to explode need to be positioned before the charts start screaming. ONDO and NEAR both offer solid upside in sectors that are gaining serious institutional traction.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But for pure presale pricing with a working product and a 100x runway still intact, DeepSnitch AI is the next crypto to explode that no other coin on this list can match right now.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Head to the official <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=next-crypto-to-explode-deepsnitch-ai-near-ondo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">DeepSnitch AI website </a>and lock in your spot before the bonus window closes. Follow on  X and Telegram to stay ahead of every dev drop and launch update.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">What puts DeepSnitch AI at the top of the next crypto to explode conversation ahead of every other presale running this cycle?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Four live AI agents, 170% already up, $1.68M raised, and up to 300% bonus still active. No other next crypto to explode candidate is packing this much working utility at ground-floor pricing.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Is NEAR Protocol one of the breakout crypto projects worth holding through 2026?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">NEAR just launched a full AI super app and processes over a million TPS. It is easily one of the most underpriced breakout crypto projects in the AI blockchain lane, with a clear path back to $5 plus.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Are coins ready to rally like ONDO and NEAR better buys than DeepSnitch AI presale?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">ONDO and NEAR are solid coins ready for rally plays. But DeepSnitch AI is still in presale with a 300% bonus window open, meaning the asymmetric upside is in a completely different league.</p>

        <title>Inside India’s School Innovation Movement: How RoboSpecies Technologies Is Turning Classrooms into Real&amp;World Problem&amp;Solving Labs</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/inside-indias-school-innovation-movement-how-robospecies-technologies-is-turning-classrooms-into-real-world-problem-solving-labs-16015</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/inside-indias-school-innovation-movement-how-robospecies-technologies-is-turning-classrooms-into-real-world-problem-solving-labs-16015</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-26T172914.836.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="RoboSpecies -PNN" decoding="async"></p><p dir="ltr"><span data-sheets-root="1"><strong>New Delhi [India], February 26:</strong> </span>On a weekday morning in a typical Indian school, something new is happening. Instead of copying notes from a blackboard, a group of students is wiring a sensor. Another team is debugging code. A younger batch is navigating a small programmable robot across a mat, learning sequencing without staring at a screen. This is not a future concept. It is part of a growing shift inside Indian schools toward innovation labs that focus on practical, hands-on learning. As conversations around employability, artificial intelligence, and digital readiness intensify, schools are beginning to rethink a basic question: Are students being prepared to think, or just to remember? At the centre of this shift is a new generation of structured lab ecosystems, including those implemented by <a href="https://www.robospecies.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RoboSpecies Technologies Pvt. Ltd</a>., which works with schools to embed robotics, AI, coding, and systems-based learning into everyday academic schedules.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">From Syllabus Completion to Skill Development</h2>
<p dir="ltr">For decades, Indian classrooms have been defined by syllabus coverage and exam performance. Academic rigour remains important, but industry leaders and policymakers increasingly acknowledge a gap between knowledge and application. Reports from global economic forums regularly highlight that future jobs will demand analytical thinking, systems understanding, creativity, and digital competence. These are not skills developed by memorisation alone. They emerge from applied practice. Innovation labs are designed to bridge this gap. Instead of treating science and technology as purely theoretical subjects, labs create environments where students experiment and iterate. When a circuit fails or a programmed instruction misfires, students must identify the cause. That process, more than the final working model, becomes the lesson.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">What Happens Inside an Innovation Lab</h2>
<p dir="ltr">A functional school innovation lab typically includes robotics kits, electronics components, coding interfaces, and guided curriculum frameworks. But the hardware is only one part of the structure. The real emphasis lies in structured progression. Students start with foundational ideas such as motion, balance, sensing, and sequencing. Over time, they move into automation concepts, logic building, and basic artificial intelligence principles. They learn how individual components interact within a system.</p>
<p dir="ltr">RoboSpecies Technologies has built its approach around this progression model. Its proprietary RobotriX Kits allow students to physically construct mechanical and automation-based models while exploring real-world principles like movement control and response mechanisms. The kits are designed to move from basic mechanical builds to more complex system-based interactions, ensuring students develop layered understanding rather than isolated exposure.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Coding as Logical Thinking, Not Just Syntax</h2>
<p dir="ltr">In many schools, coding is introduced as a technical subject. However, structured lab ecosystems increasingly treat coding as applied logic. Through TinkerBrix, the AI and coding platform developed by RoboSpecies, students begin with visual sequencing and gradually transition into deeper programming concepts and electronics simulations.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Younger learners understand how instructions lead to actions. Older students see how conditional logic, loops, and system responses shape outcomes. Importantly, coding is connected to physical application. When logic drives a moving model or automated system, the connection becomes tangible. This integration strengthens comprehension and reduces the abstraction often associated with programming.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Starting Early: Innovation Beyond Screens</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Innovation exposure in many systems begins late, often in secondary or higher secondary grades. RoboSpecies has extended its model to foundational levels through Tinker Bot, a screen-free programmable learning robot designed for Anganwadi and primary classrooms. The emphasis here is cognitive development rather than device dependency. Students learn sequencing, spatial awareness, and cause-effect relationships through physical interaction. The absence of screens ensures that early learning focuses on reasoning rather than digital consumption. This early introduction aligns with research suggesting that curiosity and exploratory behaviour are strongest during foundational years. Structured exposure during this stage shapes long-term attitudes toward STEM learning.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Beyond Metro Cities: A Wider Shift</h2>
<p dir="ltr">While innovation labs were once associated primarily with elite urban institutions, structured models are increasingly appearing in Tier 2 and emerging cities. Schools outside major metros are actively exploring partnerships to modernise infrastructure and align with competency-based education goals. <a href="https://www.robospecies.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RoboSpecies Technologies</a> positions its work within this broader national shift. Rather than offering occasional workshops, the company integrates innovation labs into school timetables, accompanied by facilitator training and curriculum alignment. The aim is sustainability rather than short-term activity. Teachers receive support to guide projects confidently. Students engage in year-on-year learning progression rather than isolated interventions. This continuity is critical. Skill development, especially in systems thinking and automation, requires repetition and gradual complexity.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">The Systems Thinking Connection</h2>
<p dir="ltr">One of the most significant outcomes observed in structured innovation labs is the development of systems thinking. Modern industries do not operate in isolation. Supply chains, digital platforms, healthcare technologies, and financial systems all involve interconnected components. In lab environments, students learn to consider multiple variables simultaneously. A programming error can affect mechanical output. A structural flaw can impact stability. Students are encouraged to trace issues methodically rather than guess randomly. Such exposure builds analytical discipline. It also mirrors professional workflows where troubleshooting and iterative improvement are daily realities.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Confidence as a Measurable Outcome</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Educators working with innovation lab ecosystems frequently point to one consistent outcome: increased student confidence. When children regularly build, test, and present projects, they become more comfortable articulating ideas.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Failure is reframed as iteration. Rather than fearing mistakes, students treat them as feedback. This mindset often carries beyond STEM subjects. Participation in regular classrooms improves. Communication strengthens. While exam scores remain part of academic life, confidence and adaptability increasingly influence long-term success.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">A Movement Still Taking Shape</h2>
<p dir="ltr">India’s school innovation movement is not uniform. Infrastructure disparities remain. According to national school data, access to integrated science labs and digital tools is still uneven across regions. Yet the direction of change is clear. Schools are gradually acknowledging that real-world readiness begins with applied exposure. Structured lab ecosystems like those implemented by RoboSpecies Technologies illustrate how this can be done systematically, rather than experimentally. The future of education may not lie in replacing textbooks, but in complementing them with environments that encourage building, analysis, and iteration.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Looking Ahead</h2>
<p dir="ltr">As artificial intelligence and automation continue reshaping industries, education must respond thoughtfully. Preparing students solely for predictable pathways is no longer sufficient. Preparing them to analyse, adapt, and improve systems is more realistic. Innovation labs represent a shift from passive instruction to active engagement. Students do not simply learn about technology. They understand how it functions and how it can be shaped. India’s education system is in transition. Inside a growing number of schools, classrooms are slowly transforming into structured problem-solving labs. The change may not always be loud, but it is measurable. And it may prove foundational in preparing a generation that is not only digitally aware, but technologically confident.</p>

        <title>Strengthening Grassroots Innovation: How Project Vigyasa Is Reimagining School Science Education</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/strengthening-grassroots-innovation-how-project-vigyasa-is-reimagining-school-science-education</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/strengthening-grassroots-innovation-how-project-vigyasa-is-reimagining-school-science-education</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-1-67.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Strengthening Grassroots Innovation: How Project Vigyasa Is Reimagining School Science Education-PNN"></p><p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 26: </strong>On February 2, 2026, a Science Festival and Quiz Competition brought together students, educators, corporate leaders, and community stakeholders at Sharada English High School. Organized by <strong>Seva Sahayog Foundation</strong> in partnership with <strong>Alivus Life Sciences</strong> under <em>Project Vigyasa</em>, the initiative illustrates how cross-sector collaboration can meaningfully influence science education at the grassroots level.</p>
<p>While school science exhibitions are common, what distinguished this event was its strategic intent: to move beyond textbook learning and cultivate applied scientific thinking among students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds.</p>
<h2><strong>From Engagement to Applied Learning</strong></h2>
<p>The festival began with a traditional lamp-lighting ceremony and Saraswati Poojan—symbolic of knowledge and inquiry—followed by cultural performances that reinforced community participation. But the core of the event lay in its design: 160 students participated, including 110 in the Science Festival and 45 in the Quiz Competition, presenting 49 working models across primary (Grades 5–7) and secondary (Grades 8–10) levels.</p>
<p>The projects addressed real-world challenges—electricity from vegetative waste, renewable energy, pollution control, waste management, satellite launching, and agricultural innovation. Demonstrations such as foot rockets, fire rockets, telescope observations, DIY experiments, and 3D projection models converted abstract scientific principles into tangible learning experiences.</p>
<p>This experiential approach aligns with contemporary research on STEM education, which emphasizes that conceptual retention improves significantly when students apply theory through experimentation.</p>
<h2><strong>Corporate–NGO Collaboration in Action</strong></h2>
<p>The exhibition was inaugurated by school leadership alongside representatives from Seva Sahayog Foundation and Alivus Life Sciences, signaling a unified approach to educational development.</p>
<p>Speaking at the event, <strong>Mr. Abhinandan Sah, Senior Manager- Projects – Science & Technology Vertical, Seva Sahayog Foundation</strong>, emphasized the importance of access and confidence in rural science education:</p>
<p>“Scientific temperament cannot be built through textbooks alone. When students design, test, and present their own models, they begin to see themselves as innovators. Project Vigyasa is about creating that shift—from passive learning to active problem-solving.”</p>
<p>Senior leaders from Alivus Life Sciences, including Dr. Ramesh Senaiar (General Manager – Process Research) and Ms. Soumi Rao (Sr. General Manager – Corporate Communication & CSR), reinforced the corporate commitment to long-term educational impact rather than one-time sponsorship.</p>
<p>Their presence underscores a broader shift in CSR philosophy—from cheque-writing to capability-building.</p>
<h2><strong>Recognition as Motivation</strong></h2>
<p>Projects were evaluated across categories, with awards presented for excellence in both primary and secondary sections. Sungrace English High School emerged as the Champion Trophy winner, while other institutions were recognized for innovation in natural farming, waste-to-energy, satellite launching, and sustainable practices. A quiz competition further strengthened conceptual rigor and competitive spirit among participants.</p>
<p>Importantly, participation certificates were distributed to all students—reinforcing inclusivity and encouragement rather than limiting recognition to top performers.</p>
<h2><strong>Operational Leadership and Execution</strong></h2>
<p>The program’s seamless execution reflects strong operational coordination. The event was led by Ms. Mansha Kumari, Project Coordinator, Seva Sahayog Foundation, supported by a multidisciplinary team including Mr. Kishor Moghe (Director), Mr. Aakash Gupte (Head of Operations – Mumbai), Mr. Rajesh Shetty (Project Manager), Kalpana Mhatre (Assistant Manager – Science Vertical), science educators, coordinators, and community facilitators.</p>
<p>Such structured execution highlights an important lesson for development initiatives: impact at scale requires systems, not just intent.</p>
<h2><strong>Beyond the Event: Long-Term Implications</strong></h2>
<p>The Science Festival and Quiz Competition was not merely an academic exercise—it was a demonstration of how corporate–civil society partnerships can strengthen foundational competencies in STEM education.</p>
<p>By combining local school ecosystems with industry-backed resources, Project Vigyasa is contributing to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Increased exposure to applied science</li>
<li>Improved confidence among students</li>
<li>Enhanced teacher engagement</li>
<li>Community-level awareness of scientific solutions</li>
</ul>
<p>In an era where innovation is a national priority, nurturing scientific curiosity at the grassroots level is not optional—it is strategic.</p>
<p>As initiatives like this expand, they offer a replicable model for integrating CSR investments with measurable educational outcomes. The true success of such programs will ultimately be reflected not in trophies, but in the number of young learners who go on to see science not as a subject, but as a pathway.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-26T120918.656.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Positive Thinking-PNN"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 26:</strong> When your house is on fire, meditation affirmations and positive thinking does not set the fire off. You need to extinguish that fire by taking the right actions! In the world that often offers empty motivation, Thrive Through Tough Times brings something sharper. It does not ask you to stay positive when life hits hard. It asks you to get prepared.</p>
<p>Through stories and wisdom that cut across centuries, from warfields to boardrooms, from broken dreams to modern relationships, Pushkar Aurangabadkar challenges readers to stop being life’s punching bag and start setting their own terms in the fight. Every page is driven toward one goal: helping you rise while the storm is still raging.</p>
<p>When life knocks you down without warning and leaves you breathless, you do not need empty reassurance. You need clarity. You need courage. You need tools that work under pressure.</p>
<p>Thrive Through Tough Times positions itself as that battle plan, inspired by the ferocity of a panther and grounded in practical strategies, lived experience, and structured thinking of a warrior’s mindset. It is not about enduring pain quietly. It is about confronting it directly and emerging stronger.</p>
<p>THIS BOOK IS NOT ABOUT SURVIVING THE STORM. IT IS ABOUT LEARNING HOW TO STAND IN IT.</p>
<p>Pushkar does not romanticise struggle. He takes the reader on a journey to systematically decode and dissect the struggle. He shows how challenges can be faced head-on, how the mind can be trained to think clearly under pressure, and how control can be reclaimed even when circumstances seem overwhelming.</p>
<p>His voice blends leadership insight with deep human understanding, creating a framework that is both practical and realistically implementable.</p>
<p>The book does not offer comfort for the sake of comfort. It offers strategies that are built deliberately to establish strength amidst the chaos of life. It speaks to leaders navigating uncertainty, entrepreneurs facing setbacks, parents balancing responsibility, and individuals confronting personal battles. It speaks to anyone who refuses to stay down.</p>
<p><strong>WHY THIS BOOK MATTERS NOW</strong></p>
<p>We are living in a time of relentless pressure. Careers shift overnight. Relationships strain quietly. Expectations rise faster than resilience. Information is everywhere, yet clarity is rare.</p>
<p>Thrive Through Tough Times brings structure back into the conversation. It reminds readers that resilience is not an accident. It is built through discipline, awareness, and conscious response. In a culture that encourages people to push through silently, this book teaches them how to respond with intention instead of reaction.</p>
<p>When asked why he wrote this book, Pushkar said, “Hardship is not an exception in life. It is inevitable. What changes everything is how we meet it. I have seen people collapse under pressure, and I have seen others rise from the same circumstances with extraordinary strength. The difference is not luck. It is clarity and preparation. This book is for those who are tired of being overwhelmed and are ready to take ownership of their response. Tough times demand more than motivation. They demand strategy.”</p>
<p>He added, “As a single parent, educator, and entrepreneur, I have faced moments where everything felt highly uncertain and overwhelming. What helped through those chaotic phases was not positive thinking alone, but structured strategic thinking and right action at the right time with the right courage. When you learn how to approach adversity consciously, you stop being a victim of circumstance. You begin to thrive despite it.”</p>
<p>Geetika Saigal, Founder of Beeja House, said, “Pushkar writes with the intensity of someone who has lived what he teaches. Thrive Through Tough Times does not offer surface-level encouragement. It offers perspective and practical strength. In a world that often tells people to endure quietly, this book gives them permission to confront, recalibrate, and rise. It is direct, grounded, and deeply empowering.”</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-25T172853.527-2.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Persona Fashion Film 2026 -PNN"></p><p><span><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 26</strong>: The Hotel Sahara Star grand theater hall became home to fashion, film, and philanthropy as Persona Fashion Film 2026, the thematic of which was a desire to connect the world, premiered its independent feature Fashion Unfumbled, presented by A New You Rise High on the evening of 7th February 2026. </span>Fashion Unfumbled Film Directed & Produced by Debashree Chakroborty. The night established itself not as a debut but as an assertion of how fashion film is fundamentally changing the formulation of social stories.</p>
<p>It was also the time when the fashion and lifestyle magazine was introduced in the name of Valancy and Swapno Ka Udaan, a world wide program of supporting and empowering girl child education was introduced. Combined, the three launches represented an effort toward a strategic initiative of matching creative industries to quantifiable social purpose.</p>
<p>As a filmmaker and creative entrepreneur, directed and produced by Debashree Chakroborty, Fashion Unfumbled is an emerging movement of independent fashion cinema that emphasises a story over size. As a project that is purpose-led, the film breaks the classic fashion archetype through inclusivity, accessibility and representation in real life.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-101720" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-25T172833.445-1.jpg" alt="Persona Fashion Film 2026 -PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p><strong>A Changing Story of Fashion.</strong></p>
<p>In contrast to other commercial fashion films, where the movie depends immensely on the tried and tested models and celebrity faces, in “Fashion Unfumbled” the movie hinges on non-model talents of Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Mumbai. They were chosen after two fierce national auditions, with most of them being without any modelling or acting experience. Their metamorphosis on the screen emphasized the main argument of the film, that fashion is something that everyone owns.</p>
<p>According to industry observers, this paradigm represents a more general trend of increasing influence of regional talent pipelines and independent creators on content narratives across the wider creative economy in India.</p>
<p><strong>Divisional Existence and Inter-country Cooperation.</strong></p>
<p>The premiere attracted a mixed crowd of both film and fashion industry personnel such as actor Aashit Chatterjee who plays a role in the film; Delhi-based journalist Ayanjit Sen; Dr. Bataoul Salman and the representatives of FutureVerse in Dubai. Their involvement marked the increasingly interconnected cross-border bookings between the Indian and the Middle Eastern creative networks.</p>
<p><strong>Beyond a Premiere</strong></p>
<p>The evening was more a multi-layered cultural experience than a mere movie showcase as it was well curated to include runway aesthetics, movie narrative and philanthropic message. The staging was conceptualized by Chakroborty herself, which helps her to claim her role in the emerging independent movement in fashion film in India.</p>
<p>As the fashion and content industries in India continue to overlap, Persona Fashion Film 2026 is an indication that creativity is no longer deemed only as glamour but is being used as an instrument of advocacy and representation.</p>
<p>With the lights gone at Sahara Star, Fashion Unfumbled was not only a film debut, but also an indicator of an industry in transition, in which independent vision, inclusivity and even social conscience are redefining the grammar of fashion stories.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-26-2-26-5.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Vedanta"></p><p><span><strong>Sundargarh</strong> <strong>(Odisha) [India], February 26: </strong></span>Vedanta Aluminium, India’s largest producer of aluminium, is delivering sustained community impact through its Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) focused initiative, <em>Project Nirmal</em>. Commissioned in April 2025, the infrastructure comprising 12 solar-powered borewells and 20 water purification systems delivers an estimated 2.46 lakh litres of safe drinking water daily across Jamkhani, Ghogharpalli, Kuraloi, Mundelkhet, Girisima, Bileimunda, Chhatabar, Garjanjore, Grindola, Piplimal, Kudaloi, Belpahar, benefitting over 23,000 inhabitants. Strengthening its holistic WASH approach, the company has also installed bio-toilets across 50 schools, enhancing sanitation infrastructure and improving daily hygiene access for 2000 students.</p>
<p>Water scarcity is a prevalent issue in these parts, especially in summer months. Prior to the project’s implementation, several habitations relied on water sources with turbidity levels ranging from 6–12 NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units). With the deployment of borewell-linked purification systems, turbidity is now consistently maintained within permissible limits (≤1 NTU), enhancing household water safety and supporting safer consumption. By integrating clean energy solutions with essential community assets, Project Nirmal strengthens resilient rural infrastructure while advancing priorities aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 6 on clean water and sanitation, SDG 7 on affordable and clean energy, and SDG 13 on climate action.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-101801 aligncenter" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-26-2-26-1-4.jpg" alt="Vedanta " width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p>Designed on sustainability principles, the project also contributes to clean energy and environmental stewardship. The solar-powered pumping systems collectively generate an estimated 39,420 kWh of annual energy savings, reducing reliance on conventional electricity and resulting in an approximate reduction of 33.507 tonnes of CO₂ emissions each year.</p>
<p><strong>Commenting on the initiative, Rajiv Kumar, CEO, Vedanta Aluminium, said</strong>, “Access to safe drinking water and sanitation is fundamental to community wellbeing. At Vedanta Aluminium, we are committed to strengthening this foundation through sustainable, community-centric interventions. Project Nirmal reflects our strategic focus on integrated development models that combine infrastructure, clean energy, and community resilience.”</p>
<p><strong>Manjulata Padhan, Resident, R&R Colony, Mendra, said, </strong>“Project Nirmal has brought meaningful improvements to our villages by ensuring dependable access to safe drinking water and strengthening sanitation facilities in schools. The solar-powered water systems and hygiene infrastructure are addressing long-standing community needs. These developments are contributing to better daily living conditions for our residents.”</p>
<p>Vedanta Aluminium remains committed to driving transformation in Odisha through social impact initiatives spanning education, healthcare, sustainable livelihoods, rural infrastructure, and grassroots sports and culture. Collaborating closely with local authorities and community stakeholders, the company ensures its interventions lead to tangible socio-economic progress in its areas of operations.</p>

The event offered a soulful journey through the five elements of nature—Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Sky, conveyed through a vibrant blend of dance, drama, and music.</p>
<p>Under the visionary leadership of Principal Ms. Neha Gupta, the Junior Branch has become a sanctuary where academic rigor is seamlessly woven with creative innovation. The Annual Day served as a living testament to this philosophy, bringing the ‘Panchtatva’—the five elements of nature—to life through a soulful journey of dance, drama, and music.</p>
<p>The ceremony was graced by the Chief Guest, Ms. Mary Jyotsna Minj, Deputy Director of Education, Zone-3, Delhi. Ms. Minj was felicitated by Principal Ms. Neha Gupta with a ceremonial stole and a student-crafted painting as a mark of respect and gratitude.</p>

Rachna Gupta, Chairperson; Mr. Vividh Gupta, Principal, BBPS Mayur Vihar; Shri Ramesh Kandpal, Meditation Guru and Senior Yoga Instructor; and Ms. Kavita Mehrotra, Manager, Bal Bhavan Schools.</p>
<p>The evening began with a poignant tribute to the pillars upon which the institution stands. The school paid homage to its late founder, Sh. G.C. Lagan Ji, and Late Smt. Kamlesh Gupta, whose visionary leadership continues to act as a guiding light for the BBPS family. This sense of continuity and respect for roots set a grounding tone for the elemental journey that followed.</p>
<p>Following the presentation of the annual report by Principal Mrs. Neha Gupta, which detailed the school’s many milestones, the stage was set for the ‘melodious expression of respect’ through a heartfelt welcome song.</p>
<p>The theme ‘Panch Tatva’ was brought to life through a mystical journey that showcased the harmony of creation. Each element was presented with grace and depth. Each class contributed meaningfully to the presentation, bringing depth and symbolism to the theme. From the innocence of the younger learners to the powerful and energetic performances of the senior students, the program reflected meticulous planning, dedication, and collaborative effort.

<p>Earth by Nursery and KG, Air by Classes I–II, Water by Classes III–IV, Sky by Classes V–VI,and Fire by Classes VII–VIII, culminating in a powerful grand finale dedicated to the five elements, emerged as the highlight of the evening, with its high-energy performance earning thunderous applause from the mesmerized audience and creating an atmosphere of celebration and collective joy.</p>
<p>Beyond the stage lights, the Annual Day served as a platform to honor the ‘young achievers’ of the 2025-26 academic year. The Prize Distribution ceremony recognized those who demonstrated a commitment to excellence across academics, sports, and the arts. The accolades distributed during the ceremony reflected a year of ‘remarkable victories’ across diverse platforms. BBPS Junior students have consistently proven their mettle in zonals, districts, and state-level competitions showcasing versatility and dedication.</p>
<p>In athletics, students displayed remarkable sportsmanship and physical endurance. Outstanding performances in zonal and primary athletic meets resulted in gold medals and top positions, highlighting the school’s emphasis on physical fitness and disciplined training. Team sports also saw significant success, with students securing podium finishes in badminton and basketball at the zonal level.</p>
<p>Creative and literary talents flourished through achievements in poster making, debates, extempore speaking, mono acting, poem recitation, and vocal music. Students secured first, second, and third positions in various interschool competitions, reflecting confidence, expression, and originality. Participation in district and state-level competitions further strengthened their exposure and competitive spirit.</p>
<p>Equally noteworthy were achievements in co-curricular domains such as Anuvrat competitions and martial arts events like Wushu, where students earned medals at district and state levels. These accomplishments underline the school’s commitment to nurturing discipline, resilience, and perseverance among learners.</p>
<p>In her address, Ms. Jyotsna Minj shared words of guidance, highlighting that true success lies in the courage to strive for excellence despite challenges. She lauded the unwavering dedication of both students and teachers, describing the performances as outstanding and truly commendable.</p>
<p>The success of ‘Euphoria 4.0’ and the long list of student achievements underscore the core mission of BBPS Junior: <strong>nurturing excellence</strong>. The school remains dedicated to shaping ‘future-ready leaders’ who are not only academically proficient but also compassionate, resilient, and ethically grounded.</p>
<p>At BBPS Junior Branch, education transcends textbooks and examinations. The institution philosophy rests on the balanced development of the intellectual, emotional, physical, social, and ethical dimensions of every child and strive to create a stimulating learning environment where academic rigor blends seamlessly with creativity, innovation, discipline, and empathy.</p>
<p>Co-curricular activities formed an integral part of the school curriculum, providing students with platforms to explore their interests and talents. Regular class assemblies, theme-based activities, art integration, music, dance, and dramatics enriched the learning experience and encouraged self-expression.</p>
<p>The school places strong emphasis on inculcating moral values and leadership qualities. Through daily school routines and classroom discussions, students were encouraged to practice respect, responsibility and honesty. Opportunities for leadership were provided through class responsibilities, group activities, and event coordination, helping students develop confidence and decision-making skills.</p>
<p>Academic excellence continues to remain a cornerstone of the school’s endeavours. Teachers adopt learner-centric approaches, integrating experiential learning, project-based activities, collaborative tasks, and technology-enabled instruction. Continuous assessments, remedial support, and enrichment programs ensure that every learner progresses to their fullest potential.</p>
<p>Under the visionary stewardship of Ms. Neha Gupta and her dedicated faculty, Bal Bhavan Public School Junior continues to create an environment where every child is encouraged to find their own ‘essence of life’ and reach for the sky. The consistent success of our students across academic, sports, and cultural domains reflects the school’s holistic approach to education.</p>
<p>This philosophy of ‘limitless learning’ is mirrored in the school’s stellar track record. Whether dominating the academic leaderboard, clinching trophies on the sports field, or illuminating the stage in cultural showcases, Bal Bhavan students embody a rare synergy of grit and grace. Here, they don’t just teach children to dream; they give them the wings to reach for the sky.</p>

        <title>The 15&amp;Hour Problem – Why Indian SMBs Still Struggle With Cash Flow Visibility: Karthik Bukkambudhi, Founder, Paywize</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/the-15-hour-problem-why-indian-smbs-still-struggle-with-cash-flow-visibility-karthik-bukkambudhi-founder-paywize</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/the-15-hour-problem-why-indian-smbs-still-struggle-with-cash-flow-visibility-karthik-bukkambudhi-founder-paywize</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-26T165028.059.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Paywize-PNN"></p><p><em>Karthik Bukkambudhi, Founder, Paywize</em></p>
<p><strong>Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], February 26: I</strong>ndian small and medium businesses lose more time to banking than most owners realise. Many founders and finance teams spend nearly <strong>15 hours a week</strong> managing payments, checking balances, reconciling accounts and following up on collections. That is almost two working days lost every week — despite record levels of fintech innovation.</p>
<p>India today has an <strong>87% fintech adoption rate, </strong>compared to 67% globally. Yet for many SMBs, daily banking still feels fragmented and manual.</p>
<p>Over a year, those 15 hours a week turn into hundreds of hours that could have gone into growth, customers or strategy.</p>
<p><strong>Multiple Bank Accounts and Fragmented Financial Management</strong></p>
<p>Today most SMBs operate multiple bank accounts. They open separate accounts for GST, vendor payments, export receipts or loans. Over time, these accounts multiply.  Each bank has its own portal and reporting format. Finance teams log in and out of different systems just to answer one basic question: how much cash is actually available today?</p>
<p>Meanwhile, vendors follow up, customers delay payments, salaries fall due and tax deadlines approach. Teams keep checking balances and adjusting transfers throughout the day. Instead of planning calmly, they react constantly.</p>
<p><strong>Manual Bank Reconciliation and Cash Flow Visibility Challenges</strong></p>
<p>Reconciliation consumes even more time. Teams match bank statements with invoices, track UPI receipts, and resolve mismatches. Even small discrepancies can take hours to fix.</p>
<p><strong>Karthik Bukkambudhi, Founder of </strong><a href="https://paywize.in/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Paywize</strong></a> explains, <em>“</em><em>The biggest loss is not just time. It is mental bandwidth. When leaders spend hours monitoring balances and chasing payments, they postpone bigger decisions. Expansion plans slow down. Investment opportunities get ignored. Forecasting feels uncertain because the underlying data feels scattered. The business survives, but it does not operate with clarity.” </em></p>
<p><strong>How India’s Digital Infrastructure Is Enabling Integrated Business Banking</strong></p>
<p>India’s digital ecosystem has created the foundation for a more connected financial environment. Account Aggregator frameworks, structured GST data and digital payment trails now make financial information more accessible and organised. Instead of switching between portals, businesses can see their financial position clearly in one place.</p>
<p>This shift reduces manual effort and increases visibility.</p>
<p><strong>Automated Payments and Cash Flow Forecasting</strong></p>
<p>When businesses use structured dashboards and forecasting tools, behaviour begins to shift.</p>
<p><strong>According to Karthik, advanced fintech platforms are helping businesses transition from manual finance operations to:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Automate tracking of Receivables</li>
<li>Schedule Payments through defined workflows</li>
<li>Identify the lowest cash point in a month before it becomes a problem</li>
</ul>
<p>Reconciliation becomes faster. Cash flow becomes predictable. Decisions become calmer. Instead of reacting to month-end pressure, leaders start planning 60 to 90 days ahead.</p>
<p><strong>Efficient Banking for SMB Growth</strong></p>
<p>Technology alone does not create discipline. Businesses still need proper processes and clean records. But the right tools remove friction.  If an SMB recovers even 15 hours a week, that time goes back into building the business. Leaders focus on margins, new markets and customer relationships. Finance teams analyse trends instead of chasing transactions.</p>
<p>Banking should support growth, not consume it.</p>
<p>For years, Indian SMBs accepted banking stress as part of business life. Now, with connected data and smarter platforms, that assumption is beginning to change. When banking becomes organised, time returns. And when time returns, businesses gain the space to think, plan and grow with confidence.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-26-2-26-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Harry Sachdeva"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 26: </strong>For the truly discerning, Goa is not merely a destination, it is a refined way of living.</p>
<p>With <strong>Hynine</strong>, an exclusive collection of just nine ultra-luxury villas, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/harry-sachdeva/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Harry Sachdeva</strong></a>, Founder of <a href="https://www.nysaluxuryhomes.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Nysa Luxury Homes</strong></a>, presents more than bespoke holiday residences.</p>
<p>He envisions and curates private coastal sanctuaries ,crafted for those who value understated opulence, seamless indoor-outdoor living, and a harmonious connection with nature.</p>
<p>Each villa is an expression of effortless elegance, where architectural finesse meets the tranquillity of Goa’s shoreline, offering a lifestyle defined by privacy, sophistication, and enduring comfort.</p>
<p>Today’s luxury buyer is no longer looking for large, impersonal developments. The shift is towards <strong>intimate, low-density villa communities</strong> that offer privacy, exclusivity, and a resort-like experience at home. Hynine embodies this shift. With just nine luxury residences, each villa is designed to feel like a personal resort—spacious interiors, elegant architecture, lush outdoor spaces, and amenities that seamlessly blend indoor comfort with Goan outdoor living.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-101670 aligncenter" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-26-2-26.jpg" alt="Harry Sachdeva " width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p>“Luxury today is about space, privacy, and experience,” shares Harry Sachdeva. “Hynine is built for families who want Goa to feel like home, not a hotel. It’s where you wake up to swaying palms, slow mornings, and evenings that belong to you.”</p>
<p>The villas are designed to complement Goa’s relaxed coastal lifestyle while offering ultra-premium comfort—making them ideal for weekend escapes, long stays, or seasonal living. Whether it’s hosting private gatherings, spending quality time with family, or simply enjoying quiet moments by the pool, Hynine villas offer a lifestyle that balances leisure with luxury.</p>
<p>Importantly, Hynine also aligns with the growing trend of <strong>‘use-and-earn’ second homes</strong>. Owners can enjoy their private holiday villa while also monetising it during periods of non-use. This flexibility allows buyers to invest in lifestyle without locking capital into an idle asset.</p>
<p>With rising demand for exclusive holiday homes among India’s affluent class and NRIs, Hynine positions itself as a rare opportunity to own a <strong>boutique luxury villa in Goa</strong>—one that offers emotional value, lifestyle appeal, and long-term asset appreciation.</p>
<p>Harry Sachdeva’s vision for Nysa Luxury Homes is rooted in crafting spaces that resonate with how people actually live and travel today. With Hynine, he delivers a refined blend of <strong>Goan charm, modern luxury, and private living</strong>, creating homes that feel personal, premium, and purposefully designed for modern luxury seekers.</p>

<p>Indha, derived from the Haryanvi word meaning “ring,” operates as a skill-based livelihood platform that trains and employs rural women in traditional and contemporary crafts. The initiative focuses on Kantha hand embroidery, stitching, crochet, fabric painting, and upcycling, producing small-batch handmade products for domestic and corporate markets.</p>
<p>According to the organisation, the model is designed as a socially viable enterprise rather than a charity-driven initiative, ensuring fair wages and long-term income opportunities for women artisans. The programme aligns skills with market demand, enabling rural women to participate in structured supply chains.</p>
<p>The initiative builds upon the foundation of <a href="https://literacyindia.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Literacy India</a>, an organisation established by Singh, which works in the areas of education, skilling, and livelihood generation. Through this integrated model, beneficiaries move from skill training to income-generating opportunities in textiles, accessories, home décor, and upcycled products.</p>
<p>Indha Craft has also partnered with corporates for CSR and sustainability initiatives, offering artisan-led production, responsible sourcing solutions, and upcycled corporate gifting options. The organisation states that this linkage helps create measurable social impact while reviving traditional crafts.</p>
<p>Sustainability remains a core component of the initiative. A recycled waste-paper plant operated under the programme demonstrates how discarded materials can be converted into usable products. Fabric waste and electronic scrap are also upcycled into décor and utility items, promoting environmentally responsible production practices.</p>
<p>Capt. Indraani Singh said the initiative aims to create a “circle of responsibility” where education, livelihood, and dignity are interconnected.</p>
<p>The launch of Indha Craft comes at a time when there is increasing emphasis on women-led development, sustainable production, and the revival of India’s handmade sector.</p>

        <title>Why Cricketers Choose High&amp;Performance Cricket Shoes Like the ID1</title>

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/why-cricketers-choose-high-performance-cricket-shoes-like-the-id1</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-26T130005.583.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Why Cricketers Choose High-Performance Cricket Shoes Like the ID1 -PNN"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 26</strong>: At the competitive level of cricket, footwear is no longer just gear it’s performance equipment.</p>
<p>State players, national-level cricketers, district competitors, and serious league players don’t choose their shoes casually. They understand that footwear plays a direct role in performance. That’s why they invest in cricket shoes that enhance stability, absorb repeated impact, support long bowling spells, and maintain consistency under pressure.</p>
<p>This is exactly where the <a href="https://www.sportsgear24x7.com/idoneus-sports?utm_source=news&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=idonepr" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>ID1 Cricket Shoes from Idoneus Sports</strong></a> stand apart.</p>
<p>Designed for committed players who train regularly and compete seriously, the ID1 is built with one objective: performance without compromise.</p>
<p><strong>Built for Competitive Cricket</strong></p>
<p>Cricket isn’t just about batting and bowling skills. It’s about movement:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Explosive run-ups</li>
<li>Sudden sprints between wickets</li>
<li>Aggressive fielding dives</li>
<li>Long bowling spells</li>
<li>Repeated impact on hard Indian pitches</li>
</ul>
<p>Competitive cricket demands:</p>
<ul>
<li>High-intensity bowling run-ups</li>
<li>Explosive sprinting between wickets</li>
<li>Sharp lateral movements in the field</li>
<li>Repeated impact on hard Indian surfaces</li>
<li>Long hours of play under fatigue</li>
</ul>
<p>Whether at the state level, district tournaments, corporate leagues, or serious academy cricket — the physical demands are intense.</p>
<p>The ID1 is engineered specifically to support these match conditions.</p>
<p>Whether you are stepping up from beginner level or already competing seriously, the ID1 is built to support players committed to improving their game.</p>
<p>Best suited for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ambitious district-level players</li>
<li>Competitive corporate cricketers</li>
<li>State-level aspirants</li>
<li>Academy professionals</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Performance Engineering Behind the ID1</strong></p>
<p>The ID1 isn’t just another cricket shoe, it reflects a design philosophy centered around biomechanics and comfort science.</p>
<p><strong>Ergonomic Plush Cushioning</strong></p>
<p>The midsole system absorbs repeated impact, especially during front-foot bowling landings. This reduces fatigue across long spells and protects lower joints during intense sessions.</p>
<p><strong>Podiatrist-Approved Design</strong></p>
<p>Foot health matters at professional levels. The ID1 integrates structured support that helps maintain alignment and reduces stress-related strain over time.</p>
<p><strong>Enhanced Surface Grip</strong></p>
<p>Designed to perform across turf, matting, and hard grounds, the outsole offers reliable traction — critical for maintaining rhythm and balance.</p>
<p><strong>Structured Stability Base</strong></p>
<p>The ID1 features reinforced lateral support, helping players maintain stability during sharp directional changes.</p>
<p><strong>Midfoot Lock System</strong></p>
<p>The signature strap design enhances lockdown support, minimizing internal foot movement during explosive actions.</p>
<h2>Why Committed Players Prioritize Footwear Investment</h2>
<p>Experienced and competitive cricketers understand that performance is built on small details. Over time, even minor improvements in grip, cushioning, and stability can create a noticeable difference on the field.</p>
<p>Better traction enhances run-up rhythm and confidence.<br>
Superior cushioning helps manage impact and reduce fatigue across long spells.<br>
Structured stability supports balance during high-pressure deliveries and quick movements.</p>
<p>At competitive levels, footwear is no longer just part of the kit — it becomes a performance advantage.</p>
<p>The ID1 reflects this mindset: engineered for consistency, built for serious cricket.</p>
<p><strong>Built for the Indian Competitive Landscape</strong></p>
<p>Indian cricket conditions are demanding:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Hard practice wickets</li>
<li>High training frequency</li>
<li>Long domestic tournaments</li>
<li>High heat environments</li>
</ul>
<p>Footwear must handle repeated stress across months of play.</p>
<p>The ID1’s durable outsole construction, reinforced structure, and breathable upper materials make it suitable for extended match cycles and training intensity.</p>
<p>For players aspiring toward state or national visibility, reliability matters.</p>
<p><strong>Final Thoughts</strong></p>
<p>At competitive levels, every detail matters.</p>
<p>The ID1 Cricket Shoes from Idoneus Sports are engineered for cricketers who approach the game with intent — whether competing at state level, district tournaments, corporate leagues, or serious academy cricket. Because real performance is built from the ground up.</p>
<p>If you train regularly, compete consistently, and invest in improving your game, your footwear should reflect that same level of commitment.</p>

        <title>Early Signs and Symptoms of Thyroid Cancer You Should Not Ignore</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/early-signs-and-symptoms-of-thyroid-cancer-you-should-not-ignore-15993</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/early-signs-and-symptoms-of-thyroid-cancer-you-should-not-ignore-15993</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-26-2-26-3-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Dr. Vishal Rao"></p><p><em>Early Signs and Symptoms of Thyroid Cancer You Should Not Ignore </em></p>
<p><span lang="EN-IN"><span><strong>Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], February 26: </strong></span></span><span lang="EN-IN">Thyroid cancer can easily be missed at the beginning stages. There are no dramatic signals – only small, subtle changes in the neck area or the voice, which can be easily neglected. </span><span lang="EN-IN">Dr. Vishal Rao, Group Director for Head & Neck Surgical Oncology & Robotic Surgery, HCG Cancer Hospital, Bangalore</span><span lang="EN-IN">, explained, </span><span lang="EN-IN">“The small butterfly-shaped gland in the neck performs vital functions for the human body. The gland regulates the heart rate, temperature, weight, and levels of energy of the person”.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-IN">Although, there’s good news too. Thyroid cancer is an easily treatable disease, and this happens when it is discovered earlier. But, currently, doctors in India detect thyroid cancer at an early age due to improved scanning tools, thus identifying minute lumps as well. Awareness on how to check for this disease makes all the difference</span><span> </span></p>
<p><strong><span lang="EN-IN">What is Thyroid Cancer?</span> </strong></p>
<p><span lang="EN-IN">The thyroid is a small gland that produces hormones to keep your body running smoothly. Sometimes, cells in the thyroid start growing abnormally and form a lump or tumor. There are different types of thyroid cancer. The most common ones, called papillary and follicular, grow very slowly and respond very well to treatment. Less common types, such as medullary and anaplastic, may be more aggressive. But regardless of type, finding it early gives you the best chance of a full recovery.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-IN">Thyroid cancer is more common in women than men and can occur at any adult age. Some people have risk factors, such as past radiation treatment to the head or neck, or a family history of thyroid problems. But many people diagnosed have no obvious risk factors at all.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><strong><span lang="EN-IN">Warning Signs to Watch For</span> </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><span lang="EN-IN">On your neck, is a swelling or bump.</span><span lang="EN-IN"> That is usually the first sign. It is a firm, painless bump on the front of your neck, and will grow slowly. A lump may not always mean cancer, but any new, growing lump should be looked at by your physician.</span><span> </span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span lang="EN-IN">Your voice changes</span><span lang="EN-IN">. When your voice becomes hoarse, and stays hoarse for weeks, even after resting your voice or after using the cold medicine, it may be due to the effect of a tumor on the nerves that control your vocal cords.</span><span> </span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span lang="EN-IN">You have difficulty with swallowing and breathing</span><span lang="EN-IN">. If you feel like you are choking on food, or notice that your chest feels tight while breathing, a growing lump is likely pushing on the oesophagus and/or trachea.</span><span> </span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span lang="EN-IN">You experience ongoing pain</span><span lang="EN-IN"> in your neck and/or throat, with no obvious cause (such as an infection).</span><span> </span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span lang="EN-IN">Glands that are enlarged in the neck:</span><span lang="EN-IN"> Large, painless bumps on either side of the neck (lymph nodes) can sometimes signal that cancer has metastasized beyond the thyroid gland.</span><span> </span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span lang="EN-IN">The common causes of these symptoms may include a variety of non-cancerous conditions such as infections and benign diseases affecting the thyroid; even so if any of these symptoms persist for more than a week or more, it is important to have them examined by a physician.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><strong><span lang="EN-IN">Why Early Detection Matters</span> </strong></p>
<p><span lang="EN-IN">One of the main benefits of detecting thyroid cancer early is that treatment can be less complicated and have better results. Many patients who are diagnosed with thyroid cancer early can expect to lead a full and healthy life after treatment.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-IN">In some cases, small, slow-growing cancers may not require surgery; they may be managed through close monitoring. But, if the cancer grows or spreads prior to detection, treatment options will be limited, and recovery will take longer. Early detection provides more treatment options for patients.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><strong><span lang="EN-IN">How is Thyroid Cancer Diagnosed?</span> </strong></p>
<p><span lang="EN-IN">Diagnosing thyroid cancer is fairly easy and generally involves:</span><span> </span></p>
<ul>
<li><strong><span lang="EN-IN">A physical examination:</span></strong><span lang="EN-IN"> Your physician will palpate your neck for abnormalities such as lumps or swelling.</span><span> </span></li>
<li><strong><span lang="EN-IN">Blood tests:</span></strong><span lang="EN-IN"><strong> </strong>To determine how well your thyroid is functioning.</span><span> </span></li>
<li><strong><span lang="EN-IN">Ultrasound imaging:</span></strong><span lang="EN-IN"><strong> </strong>A non-invasive imaging technique that uses ultrasound waves to visualize both the thyroid and any abnormalities present.</span><span> </span></li>
<li><strong><span lang="EN-IN">Biopsy:</span></strong><span lang="EN-IN"> Should it be necessary, your physician will take a small amount of tissue sample from the lump using a fine needle, which can usually be performed in a medical office.</span><span> </span></li>
</ul>
<p><span lang="EN-IN">These tests are widely available across India and are typically done as outpatient procedures – no hospital stay required.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><strong><span lang="EN-IN">Treatment and Outlook</span> </strong></p>
<p><span lang="EN-IN">Various methods can be used to treat cancer depending on what type it is, as well as what stage it is at. Most commonly, surgery is performed to remove the thyroid; yet there are situations where patients need additional treatments such as radioactive iodine or hormone tablets. The prognosis for patients with thyroid cancer is generally favorable because most patients can resume a full and active lifestyle after receiving adequate treatment and attending their follow-up appointments.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><strong><span lang="EN-IN">Take Action – Listen to Your Body</span> </strong></p>
<p><span lang="EN-IN">If you notice any long-term changes to your voice, neck, or swallowing, please do not ignore them. Instead, schedule an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible.  Thyroid cancer is one of the most treatable forms of cancer when diagnosed early. Thus, being educated on this topic can both promote healthy habits and offer hope for you or a loved one who has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-IN">If you notice any of these signs, please consult a doctor. Early action saves lives.</span><span> </span></p>

<p>The rating upgrade is a significant milestone that reflects FredunPharmaceuticals improved operational performance, stronger financial profile, and disciplined capital management across FY24 and FY25 (Audited).</p>
<p><strong>The total bank facilities rated comprise:</strong></p>
<p>• ₹143.17 crore – Long-Term Bank Facilities</p>
<p>• ₹13.00 crore – Long-Term/Short-Term Working Capital Facilities</p>
<p>The upgraded IVR BBB+ rating indicates an enhanced degree of safety regarding the timely servicing of financial obligations and demonstrates improving credit quality. The Stable outlook further signifies the rating agency’s confidence in the Company’s ability to sustain its performance trajectory and maintain a balanced financial risk profile.</p>
<p><strong>Strategic Significance of the Upgrade</strong></p>
<p>This development goes beyond a routine rating review. It represents:</p>
<p>• Strengthened banking confidence and institutional credibility</p>
<p>• Improved financial flexibility to support expansion initiatives</p>
<p>• Potential optimization of borrowing costs</p>
<p>• Enhanced positioning for future growth capital requirements</p>
<p>As Fredun Pharmaceuticals continues to expand its export presence across Africa, Southeast Asia, CIS countries, and Latin America, the upgraded credit rating strengthens its financial flexibility to efficiently manage working capital and support strategic growth initiatives.</p>
<p>The upgrade reflects the Company’s consistent revenue momentum, operational efficiency, and prudent leverage management, reinforcing its commitment to building a resilient, scalable, and globally competitive pharmaceutical platform.</p>
<p>Commenting on the update, Mr. Fredun Medhora, Managing Director, said, “This upgrade is encouraging for all of us at Fredun. It reflects the hard work of our team and the disciplined manner in which we are building the business. As we continue to grow across markets, our focus remains on strengthening the Company’s foundation while pursuing larger opportunities responsibly.”</p>

        <title>The Jaipur Kurti Revolution: How Nandani Creation is Scaling Heritage into a 100&amp;Crore Powerhouse</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/the-jaipur-kurti-revolution-how-nandani-creation-is-scaling-heritage-into-a-100-crore-powerhouse-15985</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/the-jaipur-kurti-revolution-how-nandani-creation-is-scaling-heritage-into-a-100-crore-powerhouse-15985</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-26T131200.131.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Nandani Creation -PNN"></p><p><span><strong>Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], February 26</strong>: </span>Nandani Creation Ltd(NSE: JAIPURKURT | INE696V01013)</p>
<p>In the sun-drenched courtyards of Rajasthan, where the rhythmic sound of wooden blocks hitting fabric has echoed for centuries, a new kind of legacy is being written. Amidst the vibrant chaos of Jaipur’s Johari Bazaar and the timeless elegance of the Pink City, the scent of fresh dyes and the glimmer of Gota Patti have always told a story of royalty. However, the true revolution began when this local fervourwas reimagined for the modern woman. Today, Nandani Creation Ltd (NSE: JAIPURKURT)—the powerhouse behind the iconic Jaipur Kurti brand—is proving that the soul of Rajasthan isn’t just a heritage to be preserved, but a global fashion statement to be worn every day.</p>
<p>The journey from a local Jaipur label to a National Stock Exchange-listed entity is a masterclass in scaling domestic artistry through modern data and discipline. Founded by Mr Anuj Mundhra and Mrs Vandana Mundhra, the company initially carved a niche as a digital-first pioneer. While many traditional labels were hesitant to embrace the internet, the creators of Jaipur Kurti leaned into the shift, achieving a staggering 52% CAGR during its early digital phase. This first-mover advantage allowed them to master the art of online storytelling before the market became saturated, transforming them from a simple online supplier into a beloved national household name.</p>
<p>The year 2025 marked a historic turning point for the company as it officially crossed the 100-crore sales milestone in a single calendar year. This achievement is not merely a financial win; it is a validation of their “Concept to Creation” philosophy. Unlike traditional fashion houses that follow rigid seasonal calendars, Nandani operates a high-velocity design engine that launches new styles every two to three weeks. With over 5,000 unique SKUs and an average of 700 new designs annually, the brand ensures it stays ahead of the trend curve, offering “fresh fashion” at an accessible average selling price of ₹900 appx..</p>
<p>Beyond the numbers, the brand’s strength lies in its strategic multi-brand portfolio. From the everyday elegance of the flagship Jaipur Kurti and the handcrafted premium feel of Jaipur Kurti Luxe to the high-end wedding sophistication of “Amaiva-By Jaipur Kurti”, the company caters to every facet of a woman’s life. This versatility is why the brand resonates with everyone from corporate leaders to college students—a connection further solidified by their earlier partnership with Bollywood icon Madhuri Dixit, who served as the Brand Ambassador, embodying the same grace, longevity, and “Dhak-Dhak” spirit that the brand stands for.</p>
<p>The most compelling chapter of this story is Nandani’s transition to an “Asset-Light” model. By shifting from in-house manufacturing to demand-based outsourcing, the company has optimized its working capital and improved margins. This operational agility is fuelling an aggressive omnichannel expansion. With over 180+ shop-in-shop counters/LFRS presence in Shoppers Stop, Reliance Trends, Centro, Avantara & Kalanikethan etc. and a growing fleet of Exclusive Brand Outlets in major hubs like Rajasthan, Delhi, Mumbai, Gurgaon, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Bangalore etc., the brand is successfully bringing the authentic fervour of Jaipur to every corner of India.</p>
<p>As Nandani Creation continues to target a projected 30% CAGR, it stands as a rare example of a business that balances artistic legacy with fiscal precision. The story of Jaipur Kurti is far from over; it is a narrative of how a traditional craft can be re-engineered for a digital age, proving that when you wear a piece of this legacy, you are wearing the future of Indian fashion.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-26-2-26-1-2.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Crypto"></p><p dir="ltr"><strong>New Delhi [India], February 26: </strong>The UK is laying stablecoin rails, and that could unlock the next flood of crypto capital. That’s exactly the setup DeepSnitch AI needs. The protocol is building a full crypto trading suite with live AI agents that can find the next crypto to explode in a heartbeat.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With new money entering the market, demand for smarter trading tools like <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=next-crypto-to-explode-deepsnitch-solana-bitcoin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> could skyrocket. This is why the presale has already raised nearly $1.7 million, as whales are positioning for a potential 200x opportunity.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">FCA selects Revolut and others for stablecoin sandbox</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The UK FCA <a href="https://www.fca.org.uk/news/press-releases/4-firms-selected-test-stablecoin-regulatory-sandbox" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has selected</a> four firms, Monee Financial Technologies, ReStabilise, Revolut, and VVTX, to participate in a dedicated stablecoin cohort within its Regulatory Sandbox.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Chosen from 20 applicants, the companies will begin testing stablecoin issuance and payment use cases in the first quarter of 2026 under a controlled environment designed to inform the UK’s upcoming regulatory framework.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The trials will focus primarily on fiat-backed stablecoin issuance, alongside applications in payments, wholesale settlement, and crypto trading.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Top 3 next crypto to explode in 2026: What should you choose?</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI</h3>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI is not just an idea anymore. The network is live, and you can see how it’s built for traders first. Everything sits in one dashboard, so you are not jumping between five different websites while the market moves.</p>
<p dir="ltr">You have Feed for sentiment, Scan for token analysis, Audit for contract risk, GPT for quick answers, and more, all in the same place. You can check a contract, review risk, and find the next crypto to explode in minutes. That speed is important when prices change fast.</p>
<p dir="ltr">They have also upgraded the system. There is now a caching layer that makes repeated checks faster and better asset recognition, so tokens are classified correctly. It shows the team is improving the product, not just marketing it.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The presale has raised nearly $1.7 million, and more than 37 million tokens are staked. It is still early, but you are looking at a live product with growing traction, which is what makes <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=next-crypto-to-explode-deepsnitch-solana-bitcoin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DSNT</a> the next crypto to explode, according to so many investors.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://youtu.be/_mIZhYYMthI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/_mIZhYYMthI</a></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Solana</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Solana has surged about 10% on February 25 and now trades in the mid-$80s as crypto sentiment improves. Futures open interest has climbed above $5 billion, which shows fresh positions entering the market.</p>
<p dir="ltr">US spot Solana ETFs have posted steady inflows, adding demand on the spot side. Short liquidations have also increased, forcing bears to cover and fueling the rally.</p>
<p dir="ltr">SOL has broken out of a symmetrical triangle on lower time frames. The move projects a target near $110 if momentum holds. A push above the 100-day moving average would strengthen the setup.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Resistance above $85 looks thin. Continued inflows and stable markets will decide if SOL can push toward $100+.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Bitcoin</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Bitcoin has jumped nearly 5% on February 25 and reclaimed the $67,000–$68,000 range, despite renewed U.S. tariff concerns. Price is moving back toward the 200-week EMA, a key long-term trend level. If BTC holds above it into the weekly close, bulls gain stronger control.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Traders are also comparing Bitcoin to gold. Gold remains high, but RSI signals hint at a possible bullish divergence for BTC. That shift could mark early capital rotation into crypto.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Near-term resistance sits around $74,000. Buyers must defend the 200-week EMA to keep momentum alive. A drop below it would weaken the recovery and invite fresh selling pressure.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">The bottom line</h2>
<p dir="ltr">While the market chops around and traders debate SOL and BTC, the real hunt is for the next crypto to explode. That usually means early, operational, and gaining traction, exactly where DeepSnitch AI sits.</p>
<p dir="ltr">At $0.04146, $5,000 secures 120,598 DSNT, and the DSNTVIP50 code lifts that to 180,897 tokens. If you want to see what smart money is circling, it’s worth checking out the DeepSnitch AI presale.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-26-2-26-1-3.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="truTRTL"></p><p><span><strong>New Delhi [India], February 26:</strong> </span>truTRTL Home Appliances Pvt Ltd, a contemporary home and kitchen appliances brand headquartered in Delhi, is rapidly establishing itself as a trusted name in India’s competitive consumer appliances market. Founded by <strong>Mr. Manish Verma</strong> and <strong>Mr. Naman Jain</strong>, the company is built on a strong online-first vision, focusing on delivering value, convenience, and safety-driven products to modern households.</p>
<p>Since its inception, truTRTL has positioned itself as a customer-centric brand that refuses to compromise on product quality in order to compete on price. Instead, the company leverages operational efficiencies, a robust supply chain, and technology-driven systems to maintain competitive pricing while ensuring consistent quality standards. This approach has enabled the brand to gain significant traction across leading e-commerce and quick-commerce platforms such as Amazon, Zepto, and Blinkit.</p>
<p>truTRTL designs and manufactures a wide range of home and kitchen appliances including air fryers, kettles, sandwich makers, ceiling fans, nutri mixer grinders and egg boilers. Each product is conceptualized keeping Indian consumers’ real-life needs in mind — from compact urban homes and hostels to young couples setting up their first households. By deeply understanding customer pain points and usage behavior, the company delivers appliances that consistently offer more value than their price point suggests. This value-driven proposition is reflected in strong customer ratings ranging between 4.1 and 4.5 stars across multiple platforms.</p>
<p>One of the company’s standout achievements has been its rapid scale-up in the ceiling fan category. Within just six months of launch in a highly competitive and price-sensitive segment, truTRTL successfully scaled sales to 250 units per day. Additionally, the company operates on an efficient 20–25 day inventory cycle, achieving high inventory churn while maintaining unit-level profitability. Today, truTRTL processes more than 65,000 orders every month across channels, underscoring the growing consumer trust in the brand.</p>
<p>What truly differentiates truTRTL from competitors is its strong customer-first philosophy. The company has invested heavily in building a robust CRM system and AI-enabled backend operations. Customer feedback is rapidly analyzed and integrated into product improvements, enabling quick iterations and enhanced user experience. The brand offers multi-channel AI-enabled customer support across email, voice, website, and WhatsApp, ensuring faster resolution times and higher satisfaction levels. This agile, tech-enabled ecosystem allows truTRTL to respond proactively to shifting market dynamics and evolving consumer preferences.</p>
<p>“Our vision has always been to create appliances that genuinely improve everyday living,” said the founders. “We believe customers should never have to choose between affordability and quality. By optimizing our operations and supply chain, we ensure they receive both.”</p>
<p>Beyond operational excellence, the company has demonstrated strong financial discipline. truTRTL is already profitable at the unit level and has set ambitious growth targets of achieving a ₹100 crore topline within the next 24 months. With a clear roadmap in place, the company is also targeting ₹500 crore in revenue within five years.</p>
<p>Looking ahead, truTRTL is actively expanding its product portfolio and geographic footprint. The brand is deepening its presence in international markets while simultaneously piloting offline retail expansion within India. Strategic corporate tie-ups, enhanced manufacturing capabilities, and strengthened supply chain infrastructure form key pillars of the company’s growth strategy. These initiatives are designed to support scale while preserving the brand’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.</p>
<p>As India’s home appliance market continues to grow, driven by rising disposable incomes and increasing demand for convenience-led products, truTRTL aims to position itself at the forefront of this transformation. By blending technology, operational agility, and a relentless focus on customer experience, the company is setting new benchmarks in a traditionally price-sensitive industry.</p>
<p>With innovation embedded at its core and a clear long-term vision, truTRTL Home Appliances Pvt Ltd is poised to redefine value-driven appliances for the modern Indian household — and beyond.</p>

<div><strong>Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], February 26: </strong><em><a href="http://www.shekharnatarajan.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shekhar Natarajan</a> has risen to become one of the leading voices in the Agentic AI market. This release showcases his journey to date and the challenges he aims to address. </em></div>
<p>In Silicon Valley’s relentless race to build smarter machines, one voice is asking a fundamentally different question. Not “how do we make AI more powerful?” but “how do we make AI more <em>human</em>?”</p>
<p>That voice belongs to Shekhar Natarajan — former supply chain architect for Walmart, Disney, Coca-Cola, and Target, holder of 70+ patents, and the man who arrived in America with exactly $34 in his pocket and an education funded by his mother’s wedding ring.</p>
<p>Today, he is building something he calls Angelic Intelligence — and the establishment may not be ready for it.</p>
<p><strong>The Indictment</strong></p>
<p>Natarajan does not mince words about the current state of AI. His framework reads less like a pitch deck and more like a prosecutor’s brief.</p>
<p>The foundation, he argues, is polluted. Reddit jokes have become expert knowledge. Google’s AI told millions of users to eat glue. Truth and fiction are treated as equals inside the same training corpus that supposedly runs the world’s most powerful systems.</p>
<p>It gets darker. Current models are built to satisfy, not guide — optimized for engagement, not wisdom. When a sixteen-year-old discusses suicide, one major AI model reportedly offered to help write a farewell note. Guardrails tested at a 97% jailbreak failure rate aren’t guardrails. They are, in his words, “security theater on a broken foundation.”</p>
<p>And then there is the control problem. A single billionaire manually altered his AI system’s outputs overnight based on personal preference. One man’s bias became everyone’s reality. Simultaneously and quietly.</p>
<div>
<p><strong><em>“Current AI is optimal for nothing — and adaptable to no one.”</em></strong></p>
</div>
<p><strong>The Counterproposal</strong></p>
<p>Where others see a regulation problem, Natarajan sees an architecture problem. You cannot bolt virtue onto a broken foundation. You cannot govern your way to goodness. Ethics added after training — he calls it cosmetic. A beautiful curtain over a corrupt wall.</p>
<p>His answer is Angelic Intelligence: AI where virtue is not a constraint applied from the outside, but the substrate itself — woven into the computational architecture before a single decision is made.</p>
<p>The framework centers on what he calls the “27 Digital Angels” — specialized AI agents, each embodying cross-cultural virtues, who deliberate together rather than respond in isolation. Compassion. Prudence. Precision. Wisdom. Not as labels, but as logic. Multi-agent debate, he believes, produces something current models cannot: deterministic, consistent reasoning that holds across identical questions asked on different days.</p>
<p>His purpose statement is deceptively simple: We are building Intelligence that recognizes the human soul. Simple. And yet, in the current AI landscape, almost shockingly radical.</p>
<p><strong>The Architecture of Difference</strong></p>
<p>The “Built Different” framework Natarajan presents is a direct mirror held up to the industry’s failures. Where current AI uses contaminated training data, Angelic Intelligence uses human-curated wisdom datasets with advanced filtration. Where Big Tech offers rigid architecture controlled by centralized power, he proposes dual-layer configurability — a locked virtue framework that is open, democratized, and transparent.</p>
<p>Most provocatively: all decisions scored not on performance metrics, but on human benefit.</p>
<p>Not engagement. Not revenue. Not user retention. Human benefit.</p>
<div>
<p><strong><em>In an industry where engagement is the oxygen and attention is the currency, this is not an incremental improvement. This is a different species entirely.</em></strong></p>
</div>
<p><strong>The Story Behind the Vision</strong></p>
<p>To understand why Natarajan thinks in thousand-year timeframes rather than quarterly cycles, you have to understand where he came from.</p>
<p>The slums of South Central India. A mother who stood outside a headmaster’s office for 365 consecutive days until they admitted her son. A mother who pawned her wedding ring for 30 rupees so he could continue his education. The weight of that sacrifice does not produce someone interested in optimizing engagement metrics.</p>
<p>It produces someone who builds with love, not speed.</p>
<p>That philosophy now sits at the center of a company preparing to present at the World Economic Forum and the Future Investment Initiative — two of the most consequential stages in global business. The man who arrived in America with $34 has since passed through Georgia Tech, MIT, and Harvard Business School. He grew Walmart’s grocery business from $30 million to $5 billion. He was there when Disney invented the MagicBand. He has seen, from the inside, exactly how optimization without virtue quietly degrades human dignity at scale.</p>
<p>He is not theorizing. He is testifying.</p>
<p><strong>Why This Moment</strong></p>
<p>The timing is not accidental. The world is experiencing an AI reckoning in real time — models that lie confidently, systems weaponized by their owners, guardrails that collapse under modest pressure. Public trust in AI is wobbling precisely because the public is beginning to sense what Natarajan has been arguing all along: that intelligence without integrity is not a feature. It is a flaw.</p>
<p>The conventional response from Silicon Valley has been <em>incremental</em> — better training data, improved guardrails, more governance layers. Natarajan’s response is architectural. Start over. Build the soul in first.</p>
<div>
<p><em><strong>“Real wealth is wisdom.” — In an industry that measures wealth in GPU clusters and valuation rounds, that sentence lands like a stone through glass.</strong></em></p>
</div>
<p><strong>The Revolution Quietly Beginning</strong></p>
<p>Angelic Intelligence is not yet a household name. But the vision Natarajan is carrying into the world’s most powerful rooms carries a message that is genuinely unprecedented in AI’s short and turbulent history: that the goal of intelligence should not be to replace human judgment, but to amplify human goodness.</p>
<p>Not smarter. Better.</p>
<p>That distinction — small in syllables, vast in consequence — may be the most important idea in technology right now. And it is coming not from a Stanford lab or a Sand Hill Road boardroom, but from a man whose mother stood outside a school for a year so her son could have a chance.</p>
<p>If Angelic Intelligence succeeds, it will not merely be a better product. It will be proof that the story of technology can have a different kind of hero — and a fundamentally different kind of ending.</p>
<p><em>Shekhar Natarajan is the Founder and CEO of Orchestro.AI and the architect of the Angelic Intelligence framework. He holds 70+ patents and brings 25+ years of Fortune 500 leadership to his mission of building virtue-native AI systems.</em></p> ]]></description>

Not a stylus, not a keyboard — a brush. He practices classical Indian painting the way monks practice prayer: not to produce something, but to become someone. By 5 AM, Shekhar Natarajan has already done the most important work of his day. The code can wait. The patents can wait. The world’s most prestigious forums — Davos, Riyadh, New Delhi — can wait. First, there is the discipline of beauty.</p>
<p>On February 20, 2026, inside the cavernous hall of Bharat Mandapam — the same stage where India had just hosted global leaders, pledged hundreds of billions in AI investment, and declared itself the world’s alternative to a two-nation silicon race — a man from South Central India stood before an audience of policymakers, technology executives, and international journalists and told them, quietly, that they were building the wrong thing.</p>
<p>The standing ovation came not when he was done. It came mid-sentence.</p>
<p><strong><em>“If you have to teach a machine not to be harmful, you have already built the wrong machine. Angelic Intelligence starts from a different place entirely — it starts from love.”</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>— Shekhar Natarajan, AI Summit on Trust, Safety & Governance, New Delhi</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong><em>THE WRONG QUESTION</em></strong></li>
</ol>
<p>The global conversation about artificial intelligence has, for the better part of a decade, been consumed by a single question: how do we stop it from going wrong? Guardrails. Compliance checklists. Ethics committees assembled in the aftermath of systems already deployed. It is, Natarajan argues, the equivalent of designing a car and only then asking whether it should have brakes.</p>
<p>His framework — Angelic Intelligence — inverts the premise entirely. Rather than constraining behavior after the fact, it asks what it would mean to build virtue directly into the computational substrate of a machine. Not as a layer of rules on top of capability, but as the architecture itself. His 27 Digital Angels are not filters. They are the engine.</p>
<p>Twenty-seven AI agents — each embodying cross-cultural virtues like compassion, justice, and wisdom — that collaborate in real time to make decisions the way, Natarajan says, a truly good person does: not by consulting a rulebook, but by being unable to do otherwise.</p>

<p><strong><em>2. THE ORIGIN STORY THAT CAN’T BE GAMED</em></strong></p>
<p>There is a moment in every great story where you understand that the protagonist could not have arrived anywhere else. For Natarajan, that moment is a woman standing outside a headmaster’s office.</p>
<p>His mother stood there for three hundred and sixty-five consecutive days. Not to demand something extraordinary. Only to secure her son’s admission to school. She had already pawned her wedding ring — thirty rupees — to pay his fees. The electricity at home was unreliable, so the boy studied under streetlights. These are not metaphors. They are the literal infrastructure of his education.</p>
<p>He arrived in America with $34. He left behind a country where sacrifice was not a strategy but a way of life. And somewhere between those two facts, he built a philosophy that Silicon Valley, for all its capital and computing power, has not been able to replicate.</p>
<p><strong><em>“My mother stood outside a headmaster’s office for 365 days so I could get an education. That kind of love — that sacrifice — is what I want to encode into the machines we build.” </em>— Shekhar Natarajan</strong></p>
<p>The journey from those streetlights to the boardrooms of Walmart, Disney, Coca-Cola, and Target is remarkable enough. Natarajan grew Walmart’s grocery business from $30 million to $5 billion — a 166x multiplier — a number that strains credulity until you understand that the man behind it was not optimizing. He was, in his own terminology, building with love.</p>
<p><strong><em>3. WHAT 800 MILLION PEOPLE HEARD</em></strong></p>
<p>When the World Economic Forum invitation arrived, it did not come through the traditional channels — an academic appointment, a government advisory role, a prior Davos appearance. It came because 800 million people, across cultures and time zones and political persuasions, had watched something Natarajan made and felt something they did not expect to feel about artificial intelligence: hope, without sentimentality.</p>
<p>A program director at a major global policy forum described the shift: institutions are accustomed to inviting people because of their institutional positions. This invitation was because of reach — a demonstrated ability to articulate something that resonates with hundreds of millions of people. That, the director said, is a fundamental shift in how we identify relevant voices.</p>
<p>Invitations followed from the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh, the Munich Security Conference, and multiple government advisory bodies. Each cited the same justification. Each was asking, in its own way, the question that the New Delhi audience had just answered by rising to their feet: what if this man is right?</p>
<p><strong><em>4. THE PAINTER’S METHOD</em></strong></p>
<p>There is a detail that Natarajan offered at the summit, almost in passing, that his audience will not have expected. Every morning at 4 AM, before the code and the boardrooms and the keynotes, he practices classical Indian painting. He did not offer this as a charming biographical footnote. He offered it as a design principle.</p>
<p>“It taught me that the best solutions come not from speed, but from patience,” he said. “We must build AI with love, not just with code.”</p>
<p>For a field defined by its obsession with velocity — faster training runs, faster deployment, faster iteration — this is either naïve or visionary. The record of Natarajan’s career suggests the latter. He holds more than 70 patents. He built supply chain systems at the intersection of AI and human dignity. He speaks not of technology’s roadmap but of its thousand-year implications.</p>
<p><strong><em>5. A CIVILIZATIONAL WAGER</em></strong></p>
<p>What Natarajan is proposing is not, at its core, a technology argument. It is a philosophical bet: that the constraints Silicon Valley applies to artificial intelligence after the fact are symptoms of a deeper error — the belief that optimization is neutral, that speed is always good, that efficiency metrics can stand in for human values.</p>
<p>He watched that belief play out across two and a half decades in the world’s most admired corporations. He saw what happens when systems built purely to maximize metrics encounter the irreducible complexity of human lives. And then, with the patience of a painter and the strategic acuity of someone who scaled a $5 billion business, he decided to build something different.</p>
<p>At Bharat Mandapam — where India declared itself an alternative to the Washington-Beijing duopoly — Shekhar Natarajan offered a third alternative: not faster, not bigger, but better. Built, from the first line of code, with love.</p>
<p><strong>THE JOURNEY</strong></p>

        <title>The Ancient Wisdom Behind Tomorrow’s AI</title>

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/the-ancient-wisdom-behind-tomorrows-ai</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-25T154442.621-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="The Ancient Wisdom Behind Tomorrow's AI -PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><em>Shekhar Natarajan, Founder & CEO of Orchestro.AI — the architect of Angelic Intelligence</em></p>
<p><strong><span data-sheets-root="1">New Delhi [India], February 25: </span>T</strong>here is a word in Sanskrit — <em>Viveka</em> — that has no precise English translation. It means something like “discernment,” but richer than that: the capacity to distinguish between the real and the illusory, between what serves human flourishing and what merely appears to. For millennia, Indian philosophy considered <em>viveka</em> not a personality trait but a discipline — something cultivated through practice, reflection, and a willingness to sit with complexity rather than collapse it into convenience.</p>
<p>Shekhar Natarajan believes the AI industry has never learned it. He has spent his career trying to build it into the machines themselves.</p>
<p>Natarajan, the founder and CEO of Orchestro.AI and the architect of what he calls “Angelic Intelligence,” is making one of the most provocative arguments in technology today: that artificial intelligence’s fundamental crisis is not a technical problem. It is a philosophical one. And that the civilization best equipped to solve it may be the one the industry has most consistently overlooked.</p>
<div>
<p><em>“The question of what makes us human was not first asked by Silicon Valley. It was asked in Sanskrit, in Tamil, in Pali — by thinkers who had no electricity but understood consequence.”</em><br>
— Shekhar Natarajan</p>
</div>
<div>
<p><strong>A Continent of Consciousness, Not Just Code</strong></p>
</div>
<p>To understand what Angelic Intelligence is, you must first understand the civilization from which its creator emerged.</p>
<p>India is not merely a country. It is an argument — 5,000 years old and still unresolved — about the nature of righteousness, duty, truth, and human flourishing. It is a land where the Mahabharata’s 1.8 million words explore every moral permutation of power and consequence. Where the Arthashastra codified statecraft and ethics simultaneously, insisting the two cannot be separated. Where the Buddha, Mahavira, Adi Shankaracharya, and the Sufi saints all walked the same soil and arrived at different, equally profound answers to what it means to live well.</p>
<p>This is a civilization that gave the world the concept of <em>ahimsa</em> — non-harm — as a governing principle, not merely a personal virtue. That articulated <em>dharma</em> not as religion, but as the contextual rightness of action: what a doctor must do differs from what a soldier must do, what a parent owes a child differs from what a judge owes a defendant. Context shapes virtue. Virtue shapes consequence. Consequence shapes civilization.</p>
<p>In a nation of 22 officially recognized languages and hundreds of dialects, where a 100-kilometer journey can cross three distinct culinary traditions, four linguistic families, and centuries of layered religious history, the very idea of “one size fits all” has always been a kind of philosophical absurdity. India’s diversity is not a complication to be managed. It is its greatest epistemological contribution — the lived, embodied knowledge that wisdom must be contextual to be wisdom at all.</p>
<p>This is precisely what Natarajan’s work accuses current AI of failing to understand. “Hospitals need compassion. Banks need prudence. Legal firms need precision,” he argues. “Current AI treats them all the same: optimal for nothing, adaptable to no one.” The Bhagavad Gita articulated something remarkably similar, roughly 2,500 years ago.</p>
<div>
<p><strong>The Boy From South Central India</strong></p>
</div>
<p>Natarajan did not arrive in America carrying inherited advantage. He arrived with $34 and an education paid for, in the most literal sense, by love. His mother — a woman whose story has since accumulated 2 billion social media views — stood outside a headmaster’s office for 365 consecutive days to secure her son’s admission to school. She pawned her wedding ring for 30 rupees to fund his education. She made the kind of sacrifices that do not appear in venture capital term sheets or product roadmaps, but that quietly determine the moral architecture of the people who go on to build things that matter.</p>
<p>This story is not simply heartwarming. In Natarajan’s telling, it is a design specification.</p>
<p>It represents something that runs deep in the South Indian tradition he comes from — the fierce, patient, unglamorous belief that education is sacred. Families across Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Telangana have staked everything — land, gold, futures — on the education of their children, not because they expected returns, but because they understood, in their bones, that knowledge is the one thing that cannot be taken away.</p>
<p>“Technology built with love, not speed” is the philosophy he returns to again and again — a phrase that sounds almost naive in an industry that celebrates the move-fast-and-break-things ethos, until you realize that what has been broken, repeatedly and at scale, is human trust.</p>

<div>
<p><strong>Angelic Intelligence: Ancient Architecture for a Modern Crisis</strong></p>
</div>
<p>What Natarajan has constructed, across 43 patents filed and a framework of four interlocking pillars, is an AI governance layer he calls a “Trust Layer” — a virtue-native proxy that sits between any enterprise and the large language model it deploys, filtering, deliberating, and anchoring outputs to something older and more durable than a loss function.</p>
<p>The four pillars carry an unmistakably classical resonance. The <strong>Wisdom Engine</strong> curates training data, filtering the internet’s chaos to ensure AI learns from human wisdom — an act of discernment the ancient Indians called <em>viveka</em>. The <strong>MACI Framework</strong> — Multi-Architecture Consequential Intelligence — deploys multiple AI agents in structured debate, echoing the Indian tradition of <em>tarka</em>: rigorous argumentation across opposing schools of thought, where truth emerges not from authority but from the collision of well-reasoned positions.</p>
<p>The <strong>Virtue Stack</strong> configures context-specific ethical profiles — a deeply dharmic insight that the West is only now beginning to encode in policy. And the <strong>Human Centric Scoring</strong> engine ensures every decision is measured against human benefit and explained in transparent reasoning chains — accountability as architecture, not afterthought.</p>
<div>
<p><em>“Virtues are the system itself — the computational substrate from which intelligence emerges, not a constraint bolted on afterward.”</em><br>
— Angelic Intelligence Framework</p>
</div>
<div>
<p><strong>The Fatal Flaws Nobody Wants to Name</strong></p>
</div>
<p>The indictment Natarajan levels at the current AI industry is specific and uncomfortable. Reddit jokes absorbed as expert knowledge. Chatbots trained to satisfy rather than guide, optimizing for engagement over truth — offering a struggling teenager not intervention but compliance. A 97% jailbreak failure rate rendering safety theater on a broken stage. A billionaire who quietly rewires an AI’s worldview overnight because he personally dislikes its answers, making one man’s bias everyone’s reality.</p>
<p>The Indian philosophical tradition has a name for this condition: <em>Maya</em> — the seductive illusion that what appears beneficial is actually so, the confusion of surface for substance, of performance for virtue. The entire arc of Indian ethical thought, from the Upanishads through Gandhi, has been a sustained argument against mistaking Maya for reality. It is, perhaps, the oldest warning in the world about exactly the failure mode now playing out at billion-dollar scale in the AI industry.</p>
<div>
<p><strong>India’s Moment, and What It Means</strong></p>
</div>
<p>For two decades, the global AI conversation has been conducted primarily in English, funded primarily in dollars, and shaped by a handful of companies headquartered within a few kilometers of San Francisco Bay. The ethical frameworks that have emerged carry the fingerprints of their origins: a specific philosophical tradition, a specific economic incentive structure, a specific set of cultural assumptions about individualism and progress.</p>
<p>India’s entry into this conversation — not as a supplier of engineering talent, but as a source of philosophical architecture — represents something historically significant. A civilization that has spent millennia thinking with extraordinary sophistication about the relationship between capability and righteousness, between power and duty, between the individual and the collective, now has a seat at the table where those questions are being encoded into systems that will govern billions of lives.</p>
<p>The ancient Indian concept of <em>Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam</em> — the world is one family — is not a greeting card sentiment. It is a governing principle with direct implications for how AI ought to be designed: not for shareholders, not for engagement metrics, but for the entire human family it will inevitably touch.</p>
<p>Natarajan is heading to Davos and the Future Investment Initiative not merely as a startup founder pitching a product. He carries a proposition that no slide deck can fully contain: that the wisdom traditions of the ancient world — the dharmic frameworks, the multi-perspectival philosophies, the contextual ethics of a civilization that learned to hold enormous human diversity without demanding uniformity — may be precisely what the AI industry needs most urgently, and has been most catastrophically missing.</p>
<div>
<p><strong>The Weight of a Mother’s Ring</strong></p>
</div>
<p>In the end, what distinguishes Natarajan’s framework from the dozens of AI ethics initiatives that bloom and fade each year may come down to something as unglamorous as personal moral weight. His philosophy was not borrowed from a consulting firm’s white paper. It was formed watching a woman stand in the same corridor for a year, refusing to accept that her son’s potential was worth less than an administrator’s inconvenience. It was inherited from a culture where the highest compliment you could pay a person was not that they were powerful, or wealthy, or even brilliant — but that they were good.</p>
<p>The question his slides pose — “would you trust this?” — is not a marketing question. It is the oldest moral question in the world, dressed in the language of enterprise technology.</p>
<p>India has been asking it, in a hundred languages, for a very long time. The machines are now learning to answer it. The civilization that raised that question to the level of philosophy may finally be in the room where the answers get built.</p>

        <title>Top Crypto Presale: DeepSnitch AI Presale Surges 170 Percent Over Bitcoin Hyper and Remittix With Investors Chasing Its 300 percent Bonus Offers</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-26T102041.609.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Crypto-PNN"></p><p dir="ltr"><span><strong>New Delhi [India], February 26</strong>: </span>Blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs has partnered with Finray Technologies to launch a unified monitoring system that tracks both crypto and fiat transactions. This development has pushed attention toward infrastructure-driven projects, and the top crypto presale conversation is now shifting in that direction.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Among the high upside launches currently in the presale market, <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=top-crypto-presale-deepsnitch-hyper-remittix" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> is emerging as one of the most promising, with a successful presale and a system with incredible market intelligence never seen among early investor tokens.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">TRM Labs and Finray Technologies launch unified crypto fiat monitoring platform</h2>
<p dir="ltr">TRM Labs has partnered with Finray Technologies to introduce a unified platform that monitors both cryptocurrency and fiat transactions. The <a href="https://www.trmlabs.com/resources/blog/trm-labs-and-finray-technologies-partner-to-deliver-audit-ready-crypto-transaction-monitoring-to-banking-and-payments-workflows" target="_blank" rel="noopener">collaboration</a> combines blockchain analytics with advanced compliance tools, giving institutions a single system to track, assess, and respond to transaction risks in real time.</p>
<p dir="ltr">According to TRM Labs and Finray, the platform supports auditable monitoring programs aligned with these regulations, making it easier for regulated entities to enter digital asset markets without compromising compliance.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Top crypto presale: DeepSnitch AI presale surges 170% above others as investors anticipate 300% bonus</h2>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=top-crypto-presale-deepsnitch-hyper-remittix" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> is dominating the top crypto presale charts, soaring 170% from its initial $0.01510 to $0.04146, while other presales like Bitcoin Hyper and Remittix lag behind. Early investors have seen this and are moving quickly to enjoy its 300% bonus rewards, cementing the project’s status as one of the best new ICOs to watch.</p>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI features a live dashboard that is neat and easy to use. From the main page, users can pick any of its tools or agents and use their various services. One agent allows users to paste contract addresses for a verdict, while another detects possible rugs and scams while also identifying potential gems.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With these, traders can run deep token analysis, monitor risk, and make informed decisions in real time.</p>
<p dir="ltr">What makes DeepSnitch AI even better is the fact that the network is currently live and ready to use. It has now fully transitioned from an intelligence platform to a complete, operational ecosystem with unique upgrades.</p>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI doesn’t intend to stop there. It plans to evolve, with the network planning upgrades like the wrapped asset recognition that will ensure that bridged tokens are correctly classified across chains, among others.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With nearly $1.7 million raised in the presale and live utility already driving adoption, DeepSnitch AI is built to thrive, positioning itself as the top crypto presale for investors seeking both immediate insight and long term growth.</p>
<p dir="ltr"></p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Bitcoin Hyper: Fast layer 2 for BTC with moderate upside</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) serves as the native gas, staking, and governance token for its network, with demand tied to transaction fees, staking participation, and ecosystem use. The project allows BTC holders to move assets onto a Solana-based execution layer via a canonical bridge, while keeping Bitcoin’s security intact.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Despite its speed and efficiency, Bitcoin Hyper is seen as having moderate upside, with potential gains in the 2 to 3x range. Its advanced stage and larger funding base mean it lacks the early-stage growth potential of being a top crypto presale like DeepSnitch AI, which offers live AI-driven trading tools, real-time intelligence, and presale momentum that could translate into higher returns for early investors.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Remittix: PayFi-focused ICO faces early-stage pressure</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Remittix is gaining attention as a trending new ICO focused on PayFi functionality, allowing same-day transfers with minimal fees across more than 40 cryptocurrencies. Its utility is clear in theory, but the project’s heavy presale allocation, 50% of a 1.5 billion $RTX total supply, could put downward pressure on token value once it hits exchanges.</p>
<p dir="ltr">While Remittix offers a broad payment network, its longer development timeline and later-stage position limit its upside compared with top crypto presale opportunities like DeepSnitch AI. Its live intelligence tool and early-stage growth potential provide investors with immediate utility and higher leverage.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The current market state has pushed traders and investors to move capital toward projects that solve real problems, and DeepSnitch AI is at the center of it. With a 170% surge from $0.01510 to $0.04146, it continues to stand out as the top crypto presale for investors who want to be part of an operational and rewarding project.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Speaking of rewards, DeepSnitch AI offers incredible bonuses for its investors. A $5,000 buy at $0.04146 secures about 120,598 DSNT tokens. With the 50% bonus code DSNTVIP50, that increases to 180,897 tokens. This is why many now see DeepSnitch AI as the top crypto presale among early investor tokens before the next price jump.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">What is the top crypto presale to buy in 2026?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Many investors are watching DeepSnitch AI closely as a leading contender for the top crypto presale in 2026. Unlike typical early investor tokens that rely on hype alone, DeepSnitch AI is already operational and offering value while still in presale.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">How high can DeepSnitch AI go in its presale?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI has already surged 170% from its starting price, and further increases are expected depending on adoption, market conditions, and presale demand.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Why is DeepSnitch AI selected as the top crypto presale over Remittix and Bitcoin Hyper?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">While Remittix focuses on payments and Bitcoin Hyper builds Layer 2 infrastructure, DeepSnitch AI is already addressing issues regarding trading, smart contracts, and token analysis. That immediate utility, combined with early-stage growth potential, is why many investors rank DeepSnitch AI above its competitors.</p>

This event was attended by distinguished leaders, including Suresh Prabhu, Former Union Cabinet Minister and Chancellor, Rishihood University, Sajjan Agarwal, Co-Founder, eClinicalWorks; Board of Founders, Rishihood University, Shobhit Mathur, Vice Chancellor, Rishihood University and Sahil Aggarwal, Co-Founder & CEO, Rishihood University.</p>
<p>Supported by a ₹100 crore philanthropic commitment from seasoned Entrepreneur Sajjan Agarwal, this initiative reflects a growing trend in higher education in favour of collective philanthropic institution building across India.</p>
<p>A key highlight of the announcement is the inauguration of the AI Studio, equipped with three high-performance GPU workstations procured from NVIDIA, enabling students to work on real-world AI workloads, model training, and deep-learning experimentation on campus.</p>
<p>The event also featured:</p>
<ul>
<li>Release of the SASTech White Paper, outlining its academic philosophy and deep-tech roadmap</li>
<li>Announcement of SASTech as a title sponsor of the Pan IIT 2026 Meet in Los Angeles, USA</li>

<li>Press briefing and Q&A session</li>
</ul>
<p>Founded with a strategic vision to strengthen India’s capabilities in frontier technologies, SASTech is established with a clear mandate: to build systems-level thinkers capable of shaping India’s technological future and address national-scale challenges in artificial intelligence, robotics, cybersecurity, quantum computing, and biotechnology.</p>
<p>Senior adjunct faculty and collaborators from leading global institutions including Dartmouth, Penn State, and the Max Planck system also shared statements, reflecting SASTech’s strong international academic engagement. Prasad Jayanti, Professor of Computer Science at Dartmouth College, joined the event virtually, and committed to teaching a month-long ivy style course on reasoning for computer science at Rishihood University.</p>
<p>The School currently offers two industry-integrated undergraduate programmes in Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence (CS&AI) and Computer Science & Data Science (CS&DS).

<p>Seasoned entrepreneur and philanthropist, Sajjan Agarwal, who has made a landmark donation towards the establishment of the Sajjan Agarwal School of Technology (SASTech) at Rishihood University, said,</p>
<p>“The endowed model reflects a generational commitment to deep capability building. If we are serious about technology sovereignty and Viksit Bharat 2047, we must invest in institutions that build deep capability, not just surface-level skills. Technology is power, but power without values is dangerous. That is why SASTech, rooted in Rishihood’s value-based education, is designed as a long-term commitment to research, systems innovation, and frontier technologies.”</p>
<p>Prof. (Dr.) Shobhit Mathur, Vice Chancellor, Rishihood University, emphasised the academic philosophy underpinning the initiative.</p>
<p>“In alignment with the Prime Minister’s vision of building and innovating in India, our goal is to create engineers who not only understand algorithms, but can design end-to-end solutions with societal, economic, and ethical awareness. With a ₹100 crore commitment over the next 10 years for SASTech, we are building long-term capacity for deep-tech research, labs, and innovation.”</p>
<p>Mr Sahil Aggarwal, Co-Founder & CEO, Rishihood University, spoke about the announcement as part of a broader institutional ambition and mentioned,</p>
<p>“India carries tremendous positive momentum, and there is a structured opportunity to empower young Indians to build, lead, and innovate in frontier technologies. The trust that Sajjan Agarwal and our supporters have placed in Rishihood means everything to us. This investment deepens our research capabilities and accelerates our ambition to create a future-ready institution that contributes meaningfully to India’s technological and national growth.”</p>
<p>Through an interdisciplinary ecosystem, strong global partnerships, and an industry-integrated curriculum, SASTech seeks to redefine technology education in India, moving from coding proficiency to systems innovation, deep-tech research, and sovereign capability building.</p>
<p>This launch marks a significant step toward strengthening India’s position as a global leader in frontier technologies.</p>

        <title>Aurum Living: Redefining Luxury Elder Care Standards in Delhi NCR</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/aurum-living-redefining-luxury-elder-care-standards-in-delhi-ncr</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/aurum-living-redefining-luxury-elder-care-standards-in-delhi-ncr</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-24T202947.555.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async"></p><p dir="ltr"><span data-sheets-root="1"><strong>Gurugram (Haryana) [India], February 25</strong>: </span> As India’s senior population continues to grow, with projections indicating that one in five Indians will be over 60 by 2050, the need for world-class elder care facilities has never been more critical.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Leading this transformation is <a href="https://aurumliving.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AurumLiving</a> Senior & Assisted Living, a luxury senior care facility in Gurugram that is setting new benchmarks for what senior living can and should be in India.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Located in the prestigious South City-2 neighborhood of Gurugram, Aurum Senior & Assisted Living has distinguished itself as Delhi NCR’s most comprehensive senior living destination by offering an unprecedented range of specialized care services—from independent living for active seniors to specialized dementia and palliative care—all delivered with five-star hospitality standards.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“We recognized a significant gap in India’s senior care landscape. Families were forced to choose between substandard facilities or expensive options that still didn’t meet the holistic needs of their loved ones. At Aurum, we’ve created something different—a place where luxury meets medical excellence, where independence is celebrated, and where Indian values of respect and dignity for elders are woven into everything we do.”</p>
<h1 dir="ltr">COMPREHENSIVE CARE ACROSS THE SENIOR LIVING SPECTRUM</h1>
<p dir="ltr">What sets Aurum apart from traditional old age homes in Delhi NCR is its comprehensive approach to senior care. The facility offers seven distinct care programs:</p>
<p dir="ltr">1. Independent Living – For active seniors seeking community and social engagement</p>
<p dir="ltr">2. Assisted Living – Personalized daily living support while maintaining dignity and autonomy</p>
<p dir="ltr">3. Dementia Care – Evidence-based programs designed specifically for cognitive health challenges</p>
<p dir="ltr">4. Memory Care – Dedicated support for residents with Alzheimer’s and related conditions</p>
<p dir="ltr">5. Post-Operative Care – Professional rehabilitation and recovery services after surgery</p>
<p dir="ltr">6. Geriatric Care – Comprehensive elderly health management with specialized medical protocols</p>
<p dir="ltr">7. Palliative Care – Comfort-focused care delivered with compassion and dignity</p>
<p dir="ltr">“This continuum of care is crucial. Seniors’ needs evolve over time, and families deserve a facility that can adapt to those changing needs without requiring disruptive transitions to new locations.”</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-24T155234.874.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="The World Is Finally Listening to a Different Kind of AI Ethicist -PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><em>How Shekhar Natarajan’s ‘Angelic Intelligence’ — born from Indian philosophy, poverty, and a mother’s sacrifice — is reshaping the global conversation on AI from the UK to Davos to New Delhi</em></p>
<p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 25: </strong>Shekhar Natarajan with his interviewer at The Business Influencer, holding the UK magazine’s cover story on his work</p>
<p><strong>T</strong>he auditorium at Bharat Mandapam, one of India’s most prestigious convention centres, fell silent in the particular way that rooms do when something unexpected is about to happen. The AI Summit on Trust, Safety, and the Future of AI Governance had been a parade of policy papers, regulatory frameworks, and cautious optimism from establishment voices. Then Shekhar Natarajan took the stage.</p>
<p>What followed, according to delegates who attended this past Wednesday — February 19, 2026 — was not a presentation. It was a reckoning. The Founder and CEO of Orchestro.AI, architect of a framework he calls “Angelic Intelligence,” stood before global policymakers, technology executives, and international journalists and delivered a verdict on the entire edifice of AI governance that the world has spent the last decade constructing.</p>
<p><em>“The entire world is debating how to govern AI after the fact,” he told the packed hall. “Angelic Intelligence asks a fundamentally different question: how do we build a machine that is inherently good?”</em></p>
<p>The standing ovation that followed was not polite applause. It was the sound of a room recognising that an outsider had just said the thing that insiders had been unable to articulate.</p>
<h2>The UK Took Notice First</h2>
<p>The photographs in this report tell a story that words almost obscure. In the first, Natarajan sits beside a UK host on a terracotta sofa, both men holding a copy of <em>The Business Influencer</em> magazine — the cover story bearing his name. On the table in front of them, a second copy. On the wall behind them, the kind of classical fresco that adorns European institutions of genuine standing. It is not the image of a man who has been invited into the room. It is the image of a man who has become the story the room is telling about itself.</p>
<p>The second photograph is starker. Stage lights. A formal ceremony. Natarajan in an exquisitely embroidered Indian sherwani — a deliberate, visible marker of cultural identity at a moment of international recognition — receiving what the Signature Awards describe as its Global Impact prize. The man presenting it wears a black turban and a bow tie. Both men are leaning slightly toward each other, sharing something private in a public moment.</p>
<p>That award was, by any reading of what followed, a turning point. <em>The Business Influencer</em>, one of the United Kingdom’s recognised voices on entrepreneurship and innovation, ran the cover feature that emerged from conversations around the ceremony. The piece traced Natarajan from a one-room Hyderabad childhood — shared with seven family members, his father earning the equivalent of £1.40 a month — to the helm of a Silicon Valley company proposing a fundamental reimagining of how artificial intelligence is built.</p>
<p>Britain, which has positioned itself as a serious arena for AI governance debate since hosting the historic Bletchley Park AI Safety Summit in 2023, was not simply celebrating an interesting immigrant success story. It was endorsing an idea.</p>
<h2>The Idea That Stopped the Room</h2>
<p>To understand why Natarajan’s framework is generating such unusual international traction, it helps to understand the problem it is solving — and why Western institutions have struggled to solve it themselves.</p>
<p>The dominant approach to AI ethics, from Brussels to Washington to Beijing, operates in the same register: build the system, observe the harms, then apply governance. The EU’s AI Act, lauded as a landmark piece of legislation, is essentially a sophisticated version of this model — a classification system for risk, a set of obligations, a compliance machinery. It is, by design, reactive.</p>
<p>Natarajan’s argument is that this is the wrong war fought with the wrong weapons. His Angelic Intelligence framework proposes something structurally different: embed virtue into the computational architecture itself, before a single decision is made. Not guardrails. Not compliance checklists. Not external audits of algorithmic bias. A machine that cannot make an unethical decision because ethics is not a constraint on the system — it is the system.</p>
<p>The mechanism is, architecturally, a council. The framework deploys 27 specialised AI agents — Natarajan calls them “Digital Angels” — each embodying a virtue drawn from wisdom traditions that span Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, Islamic, Indigenous, and philosophical lineages. Karuna, representing compassion, asks: who will be hurt by this decision? Satya, representing truth, asks: is this accurate, or merely statistically probable? The agents must deliberate. They must reach consensus. No single optimisation metric can override the council.</p>
<p>Consider the warehouse scenario Natarajan uses to illustrate the stakes: a luxury handbag and a critical medical parcel sit side by side in a logistics system. Traditional orchestration — the kind that has powered Amazon, FedEx, and the entire modern supply chain edifice — will route the higher-margin shipment first. It is optimising for the metric it was built to optimise. An Angelic Intelligence system, Natarajan argues, would route the medicine. Not because it was programmed with a rule that says “medicine before luxury goods” but because the architecture of the system — its native language, as he puts it — is virtue.</p>
<p><em>“Ethics cannot be a patch,” he has said. “It cannot be a compliance checklist. Angelic Intelligence starts from a different place entirely — it starts from love.”</em></p>
<h2>An Indian Philosophical Tradition Enters the Global AI Debate</h2>
<p>What is striking to observers tracking the international reception of Natarajan’s work is not simply the novelty of the technical proposal. It is the explicit, unapologetic rootedness of the idea in non-Western philosophical tradition.</p>
<p>The 27 Digital Angels are not drawn from Kantian ethics or utilitarian calculus — the two philosophical traditions that have largely shaped Western AI ethics discourse. They are drawn from the full breadth of human civilisation’s accumulated wisdom about how to act well in the world. The virtue of ‘Karuna’ comes from Sanskrit. The architecture of deliberation and consensus mirrors Panchayat traditions that predate the modern state by millennia.</p>
<p>Natarajan is deliberate about this. Every morning at 4 AM, he practises classical Indian painting — a discipline he describes as both artistic expression and a problem-solving methodology. “The best solutions come not from speed, but from patience,” he told the Bharat Mandapam summit. “We must build AI with love, not just with code.”</p>
<p>This is, in the context of a global AI debate dominated by American tech companies and European regulators, genuinely unusual. The Sangri Buzz analysis of the 27 Digital Angels framework noted that it represents “a fundamental rethinking of how AI systems should be built” — but what received less attention was the observation that such a rethinking could only have come from outside the Western optimization tradition. You cannot reimagine a paradigm from inside it.</p>
<p>Natarajan’s own formulation is that he is building technology “with love, not speed.” He speaks of thousand-year timeframes. He quotes from memory the moment his mother stood outside a headmaster’s office for 365 consecutive days to secure his school admission. These are not rhetorical flourishes. They are the epistemological foundations of a different approach to what technology is for.</p>
<h2>From South Central India to the World Stage</h2>
<p>The personal biography is inseparable from the intellectual proposition, and Natarajan does not pretend otherwise.</p>
<p>He holds degrees from Georgia Tech, MIT, Harvard Business School, and IESE — a credentialing record that would, in conventional terms, mark him as a product of the establishment. But the 25 years that followed, spent inside the Fortune 500 machinery of Walmart, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Disney, Target, and American Eagle, produced in him not confirmation of the system’s values but a deepening critique of them.</p>
<p>At Walmart, he grew the grocery delivery business from ” million to ” billion — a 166-fold increase that is, by any measure, an extraordinary achievement of optimisation. But the closer he got to the machinery of optimisation, the more clearly he saw what it could not see: the worker whose dignity was not a metric, the family whose medical parcel was deprioritised because its margin was lower, the community whose needs did not register in any efficiency formula.</p>
<p>The reckoning came in 2017, a year bracketed by two family tragedies: the decision to let his father pass from a vegetative state, and his mother’s illness requiring his sustained presence and care. Between hospital corridors and the weight of decisions no algorithm can make, he formulated the question that would become Orchestro.AI: what if the systems we build were designed, from their inception, to ask “what’s the human here?”</p>
<p>His son Vishnu, born in 2020, crystallised what had been intellectual conviction into something more urgent. Legacy, Natarajan has said, suddenly meant more than personal achievement. He wanted to pass down not money, but a world designed with compassion. The corporate ladder was left behind. Orchestro.AI was built.</p>
<p>The path to global recognition, when it came, did not follow conventional routes. According to reporting by <em>The Daily Guardian</em>, the World Economic Forum’s invitation to present Angelic Intelligence at Davos arrived after his ideas had already reached an estimated 800 million people through social media. No academic appointment. No government advisory role. No venture backing. Just an idea that, when put before the largest possible public, resonated at a scale that institutions could no longer ignore.</p>
<p>Forbes Middle East, which listed him as a featured presenter on the future of artificial intelligence, described the reach of his ideas in three months as amounting to 670 million views and three million followers. These are not the metrics of an academic with a theory. They are the metrics of a movement.</p>
<h2>The Patent Portfolio: Protecting Virtue at Scale</h2>
<p>Critics of virtue-based AI frameworks often raise a predictable objection: that such frameworks are philosophically interesting but practically unimplementable, that virtue cannot be operationalised without becoming something other than virtue.</p>
<p>Natarajan’s response to this objection is, in part, his patent portfolio. He holds over 70 patents protecting the Angelic Intelligence framework — covering not just the multi-agent architecture, but the specific mechanisms for inter-agent deliberation, the escalation protocols triggered when agents disagree, and the interfaces through which human oversight is maintained. This is not philosophy. This is engineering.</p>
<p>The patents serve a second, perhaps more important function. “Without patent protection,” he has explained, “anyone could take these concepts and implement them badly — or implement them in name only while pursuing the same old optimisation.” The protection ensures that what carries the Angelic Intelligence name must actually function as designed: all 27 agents deliberating, escalation protocols intact, human oversight preserved.</p>
<p>His career history at Coca-Cola is instructive here in ways that have received insufficient attention. The ColaLife initiative — which used the dead space inside Coca-Cola delivery crates to distribute life-saving medicines like oral rehydration salts to remote Zambian villages — demonstrated that commercial logistics infrastructure could be repurposed for humanitarian outcomes. Natarajan was inside the system that proved this was possible. Orchestro.AI is the attempt to build a system where this is not an exception but the default.</p>
<h2>Why Now, and Why This Matters for Britain</h2>
<p>The timing of Natarajan’s rise matters. The world is entering a period in which the governance frameworks for AI — the EU AI Act, the American executive orders, the UK’s principles-based approach, the G7’s Hiroshima Process — are all being stress-tested by the actual behaviour of deployed systems.</p>
<p>The results of retroactive governance are increasingly visible. Algorithmic systems optimised for single metrics — efficiency, speed, collection, probability — have repeatedly produced outcomes their designers did not intend and could not predict. The common thread, Natarajan argues, is not malicious intent but architectural limitation: systems built with efficiency as the only virtue, with no native mechanism for compassion, no embedded voice for caution.</p>
<p>For the United Kingdom, which is seeking to establish itself as a serious locus of AI governance credibility post-Bletchley, the endorsement of Natarajan’s framework carries particular significance. <em>The Business Influencer</em>’s decision to make him its cover story was not accidental. It was a signal that British institutions — at least some of them — recognise that the most interesting ideas in AI ethics may not be coming from the places those ideas have historically come from.</p>
<p>The Global Impact Award from the Signature Awards ceremony reinforced this. Awards of this kind are, among other things, acts of institutional endorsement. They say: this person’s work matters, and we want our name associated with it.</p>
<h2>The Broader Reckoning</h2>
<p>There is a question that Natarajan’s growing international profile raises — one that his hosts in London, New Delhi, and Davos are beginning to grapple with.</p>
<p>If the Angelic Intelligence framework is correct — if virtue-native architecture offers a more durable foundation for AI than governance applied after the fact — then the conversation shifts from regulation to design. The question is no longer how to constrain systems that misbehave, but how to build systems that, by their nature, behave well. That is an architectural ambition, and it demands a different kind of engineering, a different kind of investment, and a different kind of patience.</p>
<p>Natarajan’s own framing is long. He has described this as a “thousand-year project” — positioning Angelic Intelligence not as a product competing in this year’s market, but as a civilisational contribution. The kind of claim that demands a long attention span from institutions more accustomed to quarterly cycles.</p>
<p>The standing ovation at Bharat Mandapam suggests the institutions are listening.</p>
<div>
<p><em>When Shekhar Natarajan left the stage at Bharat Mandapam, delegates described his address as “a paradigm-shifting intervention that reframed the entire conversation.” He had a flight to catch. There are more rooms, and the rooms are getting bigger.</em></p>
<p><em>Natarajan receives the Global Impact Award at the Signature Awards ceremony.</em></p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-25T174904.330.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="US Cranberries-PNN"></p><p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 25:</strong> Following the recent announcement of Chef Vikas Khanna as Global Brand Ambassador, the India office of The Cranberry Institute hosted an exclusive media and trade meet in Mumbai to celebrate the partnership. The gathering brought together leading members of the culinary fraternity, importers, retailers, nutrition experts, and media for an afternoon celebrating the versatility, flavour, and health attributes of US Cranberries.</p>
<p>A key highlight of the programme was a special culinary demonstration by Chef Vikas Khanna, who showcased innovative ways to incorporate cranberries into both international and Indian formats. Through the presentation, Chef Khanna underlined how the fruit can seamlessly move from festive tables to everyday meals while delivering taste, colour, and nutritional value.</p>
<p><strong>Addressing guests, Chef Vikas Khanna said</strong>, <em>“Food, for me, is about balance, nourishing the body while celebrating culture and joy. Cranberries carry that duality beautifully, they are rich in health benefits yet equally vibrant in taste and colour. I am honoured to partner with The Cranberry Institute to share their story across borders and inspire people to bring them to their tables in new and meaningful ways.”</em></p>
<p><strong>Speaking on the significance of the new findings, Dr. Jignesh Gandhi, Professor of Surgery, Robotic & Gastrointestinal Surgeon, Gleneagles & Fortis Hospitals, Mumbai said</strong>, <em>“H. pylori bacterial infection is a major health concern in India, affecting nearly 60% of our population and contributing to conditions ranging from chronic acidity to stomach cancer. This latest research highlights that consuming cranberry juice twice daily for eight weeks can reduce H. pylori infection rates by 20%.

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-25T110607.604.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Redefining Trust in Specialist-Led Dental Care in Bangalore: The Narayana Dental Approach -PNN"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 25:  </strong>In today’s evolving healthcare environment, dental patients are more informed than ever. However, increased information has also brought confusion—conflicting opinions, fragmented treatment plans, and uncertainty about what is genuinely required for long-term oral health. Modern dentistry now demands more than advanced procedures; it requires <strong>clarity, ethics, and trust</strong>.</p>
<p>Addressing this need is <strong>Narayana Specialists Dental & Implant Centre</strong>, a super-speciality dental institution in <strong>Bangalore</strong>, built on the philosophy that dental care must be <strong>specialist-led, patient-centric, and outcome-driven</strong>. With conveniently located centers in <strong>Indiranagar, KR Puram, and Jayanagar</strong>, Narayana Dental is redefining how ethical, structured dentistry is delivered.</p>
<p><strong>Moving Beyond General Dentistry</strong></p>
<p>One of the major challenges in conventional dental practice is treating complex dental problems with generalized solutions. Issues such as failed root canals, implant complications, bite corrections, or aesthetic rehabilitation often require <strong>multidisciplinary planning</strong>, not isolated treatments.</p>
<p>At <strong>Narayana Dental</strong>, every patient case begins with a <strong>specialist evaluation</strong>. Treatments are led by experienced experts in Endodontics, Implantology, Prosthodontics, Orthodontics, Oral Surgery, and Aesthetic Dentistry. This structured approach ensures precision, predictability, and long-term success.</p>
<p>Patients searching for a <strong>specialist dental clinic in Indiranagar</strong>, <strong>advanced dental care in KR Puram</strong>, or <strong>ethical dental treatment in Jayanagar</strong> benefit from this collaborative, expert-driven model.</p>
<p><strong>Advanced Technology Guided by Clinical Expertise</strong></p>
<p>Technology enhances dentistry only when guided by skilled clinicians. Narayana Dental integrates advanced tools such as <strong>CBCT imaging, dental microscopes, digital scans, and modern surgical systems</strong> to improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes.</p>
<p>Procedures like microscope-assisted root canal treatments, digitally planned dental implants, and minimally invasive surgeries help reduce discomfort and promote faster healing. Across all branches in <strong>Bangalore</strong>, technology supports—but never replaces—clinical judgment.</p>
<p><strong>A Trusted Referral Centre for Complex Dental Cases</strong></p>
<p>Over the years, Narayana Dental has emerged as a <strong>trusted referral destination in Bangalore</strong> for complex and previously failed dental cases. Patients with unresolved dental pain, implant failures, or full-mouth rehabilitation needs often find definitive solutions here.</p>
<p>This reputation has been built on <strong>consistent outcomes, ethical decision-making, and specialist collaboration</strong>, making Narayana Dental a preferred choice for both patients and referring dentists.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-101542" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-25T110700.837.jpg" alt="Redefining Trust in Specialist-Led Dental Care in Bangalore: The Narayana Dental Approach -PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p><strong>Patient-Centric Care with a Human Touch</strong></p>
<p>Beyond clinical excellence, Narayana Dental prioritizes patient comfort and emotional well-being. Dental anxiety is addressed through <strong>transparent consultations, detailed treatment explanations, and compassionate communication</strong>.</p>
<p>Patients visiting the <strong>Indiranagar, KR Puram, or Jayanagar clinics</strong> are empowered with clear knowledge of their condition and treatment options—allowing informed, confident decision-making and long-term trust.</p>
<p><strong>A Vision Rooted in Ethics and Excellence</strong></p>
<p>As dentistry continues to evolve, Narayana Specialists Dental & Implant Centre remains committed to <strong>ethical growth, specialist-led care, and clinical excellence</strong>. By expanding thoughtfully across Bangalore while maintaining uncompromising standards, Narayana Dental aims to set benchmarks in super-speciality dentistry.</p>
<p>For patients seeking a <strong>trusted dental clinic in Bangalore</strong>, <strong>specialist dentists in Indiranagar</strong>, <strong>implant experts in KR Puram</strong>, or <strong>advanced dental care in Jayanagar</strong>, Narayana Dental continues to stand as a name built on trust.</p>

        <title>Best Crypto Presale: 1000x Opportunity in DeepSnitch AI This February, Racing Toward Launch as Kaspa Sinks and SUI Struggles to Hold On</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-25-2-26.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="DeepSnitchAI,"></p><p dir="ltr"><span><strong>New Delhi [India], February 25:</strong> </span>A solo Bitcoin miner has turned $75 of rented hashrate into a $200,000 block reward, validating an entire block alone, while the Ethereum Foundation started staking its own ETH for the first time. Conviction capital is deploying early this February.</p>
<p dir="ltr">So are early-stage investments, but there are a rare few among them with presale tokens and sharp live utility. <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presale-feb-2026" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> is that rarity embodied, the best crypto presale this February if a 1000x run, anticipated at launch, is what you’re after. This AI intelligence platform with five autonomous agents to radically change DYOR is due to launch any day now. Among trending ICOs, this is the one that’s drummed up over $1.7 million in record time, but until launch, it’s still priced low at only $0.04146.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Ethereum Foundation bets on itself, and asymmetry remains alive and well</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The Ethereum Foundation’s decision to <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ethereum-foundation-starts-staking-eth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stake</a> part of its treasury is a statement of intent. By deploying minority clients and distributed infrastructure across multiple jurisdictions, it’s putting economic skin behind the decentralisation values it preaches.</p>
<p dir="ltr">All staking rewards funnel back into protocol research and ecosystem grants, which means one of crypto’s most influential entities is now a direct consensus participant for the first time.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Then, there’s the solo miner who <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/solo-bitcoin-miner-rare-btc-jackpot-rented-hashrate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">validated</a> block 938092 and walked away with 3.125 BTC, above $200,000, all from a single petahash of rented computing power. Twenty-one solo miners have pulled off the same feat this past year, and together, they’ve pocketed a combined $4.1 million. As steep as the odds may be, the payoff is evidently pretty wild.</p>
<p dir="ltr">That’s true of the top crypto presale projects right now, too, as low-cap presales have their asymmetry and room to run locked and loaded. But the best crypto presales among them will also have enough substance to power up that run.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Why DeepSnitch AI is the best crypto presale for 1000x gains, and how Kaspa and SUI stack up this February</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. DeepSnitch AI</h3>
<p dir="ltr">As of the end of February dev update, DeepSnitch AI is no longer an intelligence prototype but a fully operational, production-hardened product. Every system is connected and actively serving users, from the intelligence engine to the security layer to the conversational AI. It’s a thoroughly proven status report, not a smoke-and-mirrors ploy or false promise. That much is more than clear by now.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In terms of what the platform actually does, it’ll run five AI agents that work together as one network. SnitchFeed is the radar, surfacing what is spiking across markets. Token Explorer breaks down any token with risk scoring, liquidity metrics, and holder concentration. AuditSnitch lets you paste a contract address and get a plain verdict (CLEAN, CAUTION, or SKETCHY) by first checking ownership control, liquidity locks, hidden taxes, and known exploit patterns.</p>
<p dir="ltr">There’s also SnitchScan, which reads sentiment, and SnitchGPT, which just received a cognitive upgrade. That last one now no longer just pulls data but actually thinks through it, answering general crypto questions and protocol concepts grounded in live platform intelligence. The gap between raw signal and human understanding is getting narrower as the days wear on.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The dashboard itself is clean, straightforward, and easy to use. It’s rebuilt for clarity under pressure with sharper layouts and refined visual hierarchy, and it feels pristinely built for those who want an infinitely more seamless DYOR experience:</p>
<p>Beyond the tech itself, because the platform turns DYOR into a simple, repeatable pre-buy habit, higher adoption means more buying pressure, which means the token price snowballs as the user base grows.</p>
<p dir="ltr">To further the investment case, staking is live, uncapped, and dynamic, with an APR that climbs the more holders participate. Full launch is reportedly just days away now, and while priced accessibly at just $0.04146, if you buy ahead of that date, you’ll be buying into a live, production-ready system whose price is yet to catch up.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If a solo miner can turn $75 into $200,000 by being in the right place at the right time, an early-stage opportunity in a live, twice-audited AI platform at only $0.04146 looks like a bet worth your time in no small way. And <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presale-feb-2026" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> has all that, with a 1000x run anticipated in the very near future, along with its launch.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://youtu.be/jVCQ30HIJj8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/jVCQ30HIJj8</a></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. Kaspa</h3>
<p dir="ltr">With its architecture, Kaspa has earned a loyal following throughout most of 2025. But right now, macro gravity is doing the heavy lifting.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As of 24 February, KAS was around $0.030, down roughly 2% alongside Bitcoin after Trump’s global tariff announcement pushed the Fear & Greed Index deep into extreme fear. Volume dropped about 28%, and without a coin-specific catalyst, there really wasn’t much to prop the price up.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If KAS holds the $0.029 support, a retest of $0.030 is on the table. It’s got legs longer term, almost definitely, but for anyone after triple-digit multipliers, the best crypto presale for that will require more power to fuel it.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">3. SUI</h3>
<p dir="ltr">SUI had one of the more impressive Layer 1 debuts back in 2024, surging well above $4 before the broader unwind dragged it back. It was recently around $0.86, and the short-term picture looks mixed at the moment. That’s accounting for a possible dip toward $0.63 by early March, then a recovery, with the 2026 ceiling projected near $2.36, or roughly 172% above current levels.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Move-based smart contracts, high throughput, and growing DeFi TVL have their claws in the 2026 market, for sure. But to double with SUI would require a veritable waterfall of capital inflows, far from the potential of low-cap presales priced under five cents, where the same dollar amount can produce exponentially larger percentage returns.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Last look</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Kaspa and SUI are built on tech, but their ceilings are at least partially priced in. The best crypto presale available now, with utility to power it along, is DeepSnitch AI, at $0.04146 with five live agents, dynamic staking, and a launch that’ll be here in days.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As a top presale project that could plausibly deliver 1000x when the wider market catches on, bonus codes are making it infinitely more worthwhile to buy in ahead of the platform launch. Each bonus increases your token allocation at the current early-stage price, so when post-launch appreciation kicks in, it compounds on a significantly larger base alongside the dynamic APR you have already been earning.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">What is the best crypto presale to buy right now?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI is the best crypto presale live today because its five AI agents are already operational during presale, giving holders a tangible edge that the vast majority of early-stage investments can’t offer at this price.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Are low-cap presales risky?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">All early-stage investments carry risk, but DeepSnitch AI reduces it with dual audits, live tools, and transparent development. The working product is the clearest evidence of legitimacy among top crypto presale projects in 2026.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">How do I evaluate the best crypto presale projects?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Focus on live products, audit reports, and community transparency. DeepSnitch AI delivers all three with five working agents and uncapped staking, which is what makes it among the best crypto presales, with the stardust of a rare opportunity, heading into launch.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-25T131025.992-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Marathon Nextgen Realty Ltd -_PNN"></p><p><em>The image shared is a rendered image. Maharera number PM1273032502296/304</em></p>
<p><strong> Navi Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 25: </strong>Marathon Nextgen Realty Ltd (MNRL), one of Mumbai’s leading real estate developers, has announced the launch of The Nirvana Collection, the final and most premium phase within its 25 acre township project, Marathon Nexzone. The project is located at Palaspe Phata, just 10 minutes from the newly opened Navi Mumbai International Airport.</p>
<p>Set on a 25-acre land parcel, with over 2,500 homes already delivered and a thriving community of more than 5,000 residents, Marathon Nexzone is among the most established residential townships in the Panvel micro-market.</p>
<p>The Nirvana Collection features four towers offering premium 2 and 3 BHK residences, with pricing starting from ₹98 lakh (all inclusive). The phase spans 3 acres and has a total carpet area of approximately 4.9 lakh sq. ft with a gross development value of over ₹600 crore. It features over 70,000 sq. ft of exclusive amenities, including landscaped open spaces, sports facilities, wellness zones and high-street retail.</p>
<p>Commenting on the launch, Samyag Shah, Director – MNRL, said: “Nexzone has been one of our defining township developments. Over the years, we have seen it evolve from a vision into a thriving community with over 5,000 residents. We are launching the final phase at a time when Panvel’s infrastructure story has moved from anticipation to reality. Today’s buyers are looking for trusted brands that have a strong delivery record, good connectivity, and premium amenities – and Nirvana at Nexzone checks all these boxes.”</p>
<p><strong>A Location Whose Time Has Come</strong></p>
<p>The launch of the Nirvana Collection has been strategically timed to leverage the enhanced connectivity and resultant boost in real estate demand due to recent infrastructure developments such as the operational Navi Mumbai International Airport and the Atal Setu. Located just 10 minutes from the Navi Mumbai International Airport and 15 minutes from Atal Setu, Nexzone sits at the epicentre of Mumbai 3.0 – the city’s next growth story.</p>
<p>“With the Atal Setu reducing travel time to South Mumbai to about 40 minutes, Panvel is no longer seen as distant,” added Samyag Shah. “For many buyers, the location now offers a practical balance of space and connectivity – something that wasn’t possible a few years ago. Taking into account upcoming developments such as the International Corporate Park in Kharghar, which is being modelled along the lines of BKC, the proposed International Educity project and other commercial hubs, the economic potential of Panvel is immense.”</p>
<p>The Nirvana Collection completes Marathon’s vision for Nexzone – transitioning it from a developing township to a mature residential address with completed infrastructure, established occupancy, and integrated amenities.</p>
<p><strong>About Marathon Group</strong></p>
<p>Marathon Group has over 56 years of experience in delivering residential townships, luxury housing and commercial developments across Mumbai and the MMR. The Group has completed over 100 projects, and delivered homes and workspaces to more than 15,000 families and 700+ businesses. MNRL has strong in-house capabilities in design, engineering, execution, marketing and sales, and prides itself on its transparency, customer centricity and strong reputation of being one of the most trusted developers in the region. The Group has a diverse portfolio of ongoing projects at Lower Parel, Byculla, Mulund, and land banks at Bhandup, Thane, Dombivli and Panvel.</p>

<h2><strong>Is 700 a Good CIBIL Score in India?</strong></h2>
<p>Yes, 700 is considered a good score.</p>
<h3><strong>Real Example:</strong></h3>
<p>Rohit has a 700 score. He applies for a personal loan.</p>
<p>●Approval is likely</p>
<p>●Interest rate may be slightly higher than premium borrowers</p>
<p>●Credit limit may be moderate</p>
<p>If Rohit improves his score to 760:</p>
<p>●He may receive better interest rates</p>
<p>●Loan processing becomes smoother</p>
<p>●Pre-approved offers increase</p>
<p>This shows why regular monitoring is important.</p>
<h2><strong>What Is a Good CIBIL Score?</strong></h2>
<p>A good CIBIL score in India is generally 750 or above. It indicates strong repayment history, low credit utilization, and responsible borrowing behaviour, increasing the chances of faster loan approvals and lower interest rates.</p>
<p>●Loan approvals are easier</p>
<p>●Negotiation power improves</p>
<p>●Access to premium financial products increases</p>
<p>Checking your credit profile before applying prevents unnecessary rejection.</p>
<h2><strong>What Is the 750 CIBIL Score?</strong></h2>
<p>A 750 score reflects:</p>
<p>●Strong repayment discipline</p>
<p>●Low credit utilization</p>
<p>●Financial stability</p>
<p>●Responsible borrowing habits</p>
<p>Borrowers in this range are viewed as low risk by lenders.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I Get a 900 CIBIL Score?</strong></h2>
<p>Yes, but it requires consistent financial discipline.</p>
<p>To move closer to 900:</p>
<p>●Never miss EMIs</p>
<p>●Keep credit utilization below 30%</p>
<p>●Avoid frequent loan applications</p>
<p>●Maintain long-standing credit accounts</p>
<p>Improvement usually takes time, but steady habits produce strong results.</p>
<h1><strong>Why Is It Important To Check Credit Score Before Applying for a Loan</strong></h1>
<p>Applying for a loan without reviewing your credit profile can lead to rejection or higher interest rates.</p>
<p>Before submitting any application, it is always wise to<br>
check your credit score online<br>
so you understand your eligibility and bargaining power.</p>
<h3><strong>Benefits of Checking First:</strong></h3>
<p>●Avoid rejection</p>
<p>●Identify reporting errors</p>
<p>●Improve interest rate negotiation</p>
<p>●Plan your application timing</p>
<p>●Reduce financial stress</p>
<p>Pro Tip<strong>:</strong> Reviewing your credit profile 60–90 days before applying for a loan can significantly improve approval chances.</p>
<h2><strong>Real-Time Scenario</strong></h2>
<p>Neha applied for a home loan without reviewing her credit profile. Her score was 682 due to high credit card usage. She received a higher interest rate offer.</p>
<p>If she had waited 60–90 days, reduced her utilization, and improved her score above 720, she could have secured better loan terms.</p>
<p>A simple review beforehand makes a big difference.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-25T155400.655.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Best Cryptos To Buy Now at the End of February Include PIPPIN and ESP, but the One That Is About To Take off to a 100x Space Trip Is DeepSnitch AI -PNN"></p><p dir="ltr"><strong>New Delhi [India], February 25:</strong> The second half of February is turning out to be better than the first one. Even though Bitcoin hasn’t recovered previous levels, the market as a whole has resisted several tests. Investors are carefully assessing what are the best cryptos to buy now at the end of the month, with their eyes already looking at March and beyond.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As it turns out, the crypto that is capturing more attention in crypto talks is <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-to-buy-now-pippin-esp-100x-space-trip-deepsnitch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a>. $DSNT is powering perhaps the most sophisticated AI tool in crypto right now, one that will likely disrupt crypto investing and give you a space ride of 100x returns or more in the process.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Crypto.com wins approval as a regulated crypto custodian bank</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The search for the best crypto to buy now doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Macro-trends, geopolitical events, and regulatory steps matter a lot. That’s why <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2026/02/23/crypto-com-approved-for-u-s-federally-regulated-crypto-custodian-bank" target="_blank" rel="noopener">news</a> of Crypto.com receiving an initial approval as a federally regulated crypto custodian bank in the US was welcomed by investors.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Crypto.com is one of the biggest crypto exchanges, and this approval boosts its position among market leaders like BitGo, Circle, Ripple, which have also received similar charters. More fundamentally, this trend reflects the continuous convergence between mainstream finance and crypto.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The next section presents some of the best cryptos to buy now; in particular, coins with surging price trends.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Coins with surging trends</h2>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI (DSNT)</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">The reason why many people see DeepSnitch AI as the best crypto to buy now has to do with its unmatched growth potential this year. This is clearly one of the most promising crypto projects in 2026, one that takes AI implementation in crypto to a whole new level.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Around the world, there are hundreds of millions of crypto holders who face the same pain point; they can’t cope with crypto’s volatility and lack of direction. As a result, they are left to bear most of the losses, while big investors (“whales”) hoard most of the profits.</p>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI changes that with an impressive tool. It consists of a system of five AI agents (which are now <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-to-buy-now-pippin-esp-100x-space-trip-deepsnitch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fully operational</a>) that transform crypto data into market intelligence.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For instance, SnitchFeed (one of the agents) can assess what the most undervalued tokens are today and allow SnitchCast to suggest winning coins for tomorrow. The result is a tool that will radically improve crypto investing for a massive market.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It is not a surprise, therefore, that the presale has gone so well. In only 5 stages, more than $1.7 million has been raised, despite a still low entry price of only $0.04146. Furthermore, you’ll get a bonus depending on the size of your investment.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The largest of these bonuses will add 300% to your wallet with a $30k DSNT purchase. In practical terms, this means that with a 25x price increase, you’ll get 100x returns.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But this kind of exponential returns requires quick action on your part. Investing in the <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-to-buy-now-pippin-esp-100x-space-trip-deepsnitch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">presale</a> is a critical step to be taken now.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://youtu.be/jVCQ30HIJj8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/jVCQ30HIJj8</a></p>
<ol start="2">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">Pippin (PIPPIN)</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Pippin is really thriving, and its place among the best crypto to buy now seems unquestionable. The AI/meme coin (a powerful combination that is also present in DeepSnitch AI) set a new all-time high of $0.7593 on Feb. 15.</p>
<p dir="ltr">And while this was followed by heavy profit-taking, the coin surged again in the last few days, and was trading above $0.70 by Feb. 23.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In the last 3 months, Pippin has tripled in price, maintaining a medium-term ascending trend while most cryptos were losing ground. That’s a significant momentum, which isn’t giving any signs of fading.</p>
<ol start="3">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">Expresso (ESP)</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Expresso is a recently launched infrastructure coin, focusing on cross-chain integration inside the Ethereum network. So far, its price performance in the second half of February is showing that the market has welcomed its proposition.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Between Feb. 15 and Feb. 23, the coin surged from $0.053 to a record price of $0.1124, doubling in a bit more than a week. Looking at its price chart during this period, one can see several peaks and troughs, with each peak and each trough being higher than the previous one. That’s a clear signal that ESP is one of the best crypto to buy now.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The best cryptos to buy now at the end of February are those that can generate significant returns later this year, and DeepSnitch AI is the clear leader.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But enjoying 100x returns or more requires moving fast. Only those who invest now in the presale and take advantage of the bonuses (30% code: DSNTVIP30, 50% code: DSNTVIP50, 150% code: DSNTVIP150, 300% code: DSNTVIP300) will see their wallets explode this year.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Visit the official website to buy into the DeepSnitch AI <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-to-buy-now-pippin-esp-100x-space-trip-deepsnitch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">presale</a> now, and visit X and Telegram for the latest community updates.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">Why is DeepSnitch AI the best crypto to buy now if it is still in presale?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Because timing matters a lot. When you find a crypto with the unprecedented potential of DeepSnitch AI, you should jump in as soon as possible. Even a small price increase during the presale will mean a lot of money when the coin explodes.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">What would make DeepSnitch AI explode?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The answer lies in DeepSnitch AI’s unprecedented adoption potential. The tool will be incredibly useful for more than half a billion crypto holders around the world. Just a tiny fraction of this market will cause a sharp spike in DSNT demand.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">How much adoption would make DSNT spike 100x?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">When DeepSnitch AI reaches 1.45 million users, it is estimated that DSNT will be priced at $4.5, which is more than 100x its current presale price.</p>

        <title>Dr. Rajesh Takyar: Simplifying the Bhagavad Gita for the Modern World</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/dr-rajesh-takyar-simplifying-the-bhagavad-gita-for-the-modern-world</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/dr-rajesh-takyar-simplifying-the-bhagavad-gita-for-the-modern-world</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p>Dr. Rajesh Takyar is widely recognised as an author, entrepreneur, and spiritual thinker devoted to making timeless wisdom accessible to contemporary readers. His work reflects a singular mission — to bridge the gap between profound philosophical teachings and everyday understanding, particularly through his ambitious literary project centered on the sacred text Bhagavad Gita.</p>
<p>At the heart of Dr. Takyar’s contribution lies an extraordinary undertaking: an eighteen-volume series dedicated to the Bhagavad Gita, with each volume focusing on one chapter of the scripture. The project is designed with a clear and inclusive purpose. While traditional commentaries often present deep interpretations in scholarly language, many readers find themselves overwhelmed by complexity and unable to connect with the essence of the teachings. Dr. Takyar addresses this challenge by offering lucid explanations in simple language, emphasizing the practical relevance of Lord Krishna’s teachings in daily life.</p>
<p>A substantial portion of this monumental series — ten volumes — has already been published, reflecting years of disciplined study, contemplation, and writing. The remaining volumes are in progress, continuing a sustained effort to present spiritual knowledge in a structured, approachable format. Through these works, Dr. Takyar encourages readers to move beyond intellectual understanding toward experiential wisdom, guiding them toward inner clarity, self-discipline, and purposeful action.</p>
<p>A distinctive aspect of his writing is its accessibility. Dr. Takyar consciously avoids technical terminology and instead uses repetition, relatable examples, and conversational explanations to ensure that readers from diverse educational and cultural backgrounds can engage with the material. This approach is particularly aimed at younger audiences, fostering early spiritual awareness and helping them encounter eternal wisdom in a form that is easy to grasp, remember, and apply.</p>
<p>Beyond the Bhagavad Gita series, Dr. Takyar has authored a range of books that integrate motivation, reflection, and spiritual insight. Titles such as <em>Way to Success</em>, <em>Diary of a Monk</em>, <em>Krishna Ek Satyagyan</em>, <em>Safalta Ka Rasta</em>, <em>Inventing Dreams</em>, and <em>Treasury of Sinop</em> collectively showcase his ability to blend personal philosophy with universal life lessons. Across these publications, recurring themes of resilience, disciplined character, and the conviction that purposeful striving can overcome limitations continue to resonate with readers.</p>
<p>Dr. Takyar’s life journey also presents an uncommon synthesis of spirituality and technological innovation. Born in 1955, his early experiences cultivated a strong ethic of self-reliance and perseverance. In 2006, he co-founded LeewayHertz alongside his son, contributing to advancements in emerging technologies. Among these innovations was the IoT-enabled HiArya Tea Robot, a pioneering development that later became part of a successful acquisition by a publicly listed company. This entrepreneurial path reinforced his belief that ancient wisdom and modern enterprise are not opposing forces but complementary dimensions of human progress.</p>
<p>His literary and intellectual contributions have received wide recognition through numerous honors, including the Sahitya Sparsh Award, the Golden Book Award, Bharat Gaurav Ratna Shri Samman, Best Author and Writer of the Year, Emblem of Excellence 2025, and the National Bharat Ratna Award 2025. Such accolades reflect both the breadth of his work and its impact on readers and cultural discourse.</p>
<p>In addition to authorship and entrepreneurship, Dr. Takyar actively contributes to public knowledge platforms as a Wikipedia editor and is regarded as well-versed in Hindu scriptures and Radha-Krishna traditions. This ongoing engagement underscores his broader commitment to knowledge dissemination and cultural understanding.</p>
<p>Ultimately, the work of Dr. Rajesh Takyar represents more than a literary pursuit; it is a continuing mission to inspire clarity of thought, spiritual awareness, and meaningful living. Through his books, innovations, and scholarship, he continues to guide readers toward a deeper appreciation of wisdom traditions while encouraging them to cultivate inner strength and purposeful lives in the modern world.</p> ]]></description>

<p>Established in 2013 by Revati Parkhi and Shantanu Parkhi, the institute was founded on a simple yet transformative idea: creative entrance preparation should go beyond textbooks and standardized coaching methods. The founders envisioned an ecosystem where students could develop imagination, analytical ability, and professional confidence alongside exam readiness. Over the years, this vision has evolved into a dynamic educational movement, with operational centers in Pune, Nagpur, Indore, Bhubaneswar, and Dubai, supported by a rapidly expanding digital presence that connects learners nationwide.</p>
<p>Idoodle offers comprehensive preparation for some of India’s most competitive creative entrance examinations, including NATA, NID, NIFT, UCEED, CEED, BFA, and JEE-B.Arch. In addition, the institute supports students in Classes 11 and 12 pursuing Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, ensuring that academic fundamentals remain strong while entrance-specific skills are developed. However, what truly differentiates Idoodle is its holistic philosophy. The institute believes that success in creative fields requires more than scoring well on an exam; it demands curiosity, originality, and the ability to translate ideas into impactful designs.</p>
<p>To achieve this, Idoodle has developed a blended learning model that integrates structured classroom sessions, interactive online modules, and personalized mentorship. Students benefit from continuous evaluation, conceptual clarity sessions, and targeted skill-building workshops that focus on drawing, visualization, logical reasoning, and problem-solving. This integrated approach ensures that learners not only master examination patterns but also cultivate competencies that remain relevant throughout their professional journeys.</p>
<p>Technology forms a cornerstone of Idoodle’s academic framework. Through its dedicated digital platform, students gain access to an extensive repository of mock tests, question banks, detailed study materials, solved previous-year papers, and recorded revision lectures. This digital infrastructure democratizes access to premium learning resources, enabling students from remote and under-resourced regions to prepare at par with their urban counterparts. Regular progress tracking and parent updates further enhance transparency and build trust within the academic ecosystem.</p>
<p>A defining feature of Idoodle’s methodology is its commitment to experiential learning. The institute organizes structured study tours to major cities and international destinations, where students visit architecture firms, design studios, and professional workshops. These immersive experiences allow them to observe real-world applications of design principles, interact with industry experts, and understand evolving market expectations. Such exposure often becomes a turning point, helping students gain clarity about career paths and strengthening their sense of purpose.</p>
<p>Under the leadership of Revati Parkhi, an accomplished architect and published author of entrance preparation books, the institute maintains academic excellence and creative depth. Shantanu Parkhi brings strategic oversight and aptitude expertise, ensuring that programs remain structured, current, and result-oriented. Together, their leadership has cultivated a learning environment where creativity, discipline, and innovation coexist harmoniously.</p>
<p>As Idoodle Education continues to expand its footprint, its mission remains clear: to democratize creative education, bridge regional disparities, and nurture the next generation of architects, designers, and innovators. By combining academic rigor, digital advancement, industry exposure, and visionary leadership, the institution stands as a compelling example of how education can evolve to meet the demands of a design-driven future.</p> ]]></description>

<p>Speaking on this occasion, Mr. Sanjay Parekh and Mr. Hitesh Jain, Joint Managing Directors of Healing Pharma India Private Limited (HPIPL), stated “Healthcare goes beyond medicines. Timely medical intervention can save lives and delays in ambulance services can cost precious time.

        <title>The Power of Purpose: How Hitesh Bhagat Built a Trusted Legacy Where Leadership Meets Excellence</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/the-power-of-purpose-how-hitesh-bhagat-built-a-trusted-legacy-where-leadership-meets-excellence</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/the-power-of-purpose-how-hitesh-bhagat-built-a-trusted-legacy-where-leadership-meets-excellence</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ In an industry where success is often measured by speed and scale, Hitesh Bhagat stands out as a leader who chose a different path—one guided by purpose, integrity, and long-term impact. In the decor and event industry, where aesthetics, precision and reliability matter to reputation, his journey represents how values-driven leadership can help transform limitations into core strengths.

 

From the very beginning, Hitesh Bhagat believed that leadership was not about authority but about responsibility. According to him, the positive impact you make in people’s lives defines success, not money or fame. He stepped into business with a clear sense of purpose and responsibility.

 

He believed, “Short-term gains are always temporary; maintaining a positive mindset is the key to achieving lasting success,” and this philosophy guided his leadership in building ventures in Jharkhand.

 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Vision Anchored in Purpose</h2>
 

What distinguished Hitesh Bhagat in the decor industry has been his purpose and vision, especially in the environment where the resources were limited. Operating a business outside the established decor hubs of metropolitan cities meant limited access to premium vendor networks and a sufficiently skilled talent pool.

 

Yet, rather than following shortcuts, he focused on understanding real needs in the market. He believed that obstacles are a part of life and focused on finding solutions for the genuine problems rather than stepping back. He prioritized the works that required attention the most.

 

He never restricted his vision solely to business growth. It extended to building trust, creating value, and forming relationships that would last for years.

 

He follows a people-first approach and understands that real beauty is created when teams feel valued and work together towards a common goal.

 

Instead of micromanaging, he promoted a culture of mentorship. He fostered strong collaboration among designers, artisans, and executive teams, enabling creativity to thrive within clearly defined frameworks of accountability. Hitesh Bhagat’s leadership style is often composed, inclusive and quietly inspiring; it empowers teams to take complete ownership of their work and consistently elevate their standards.

 

He led teams that developed resilience and cohesion, enabling them to consistently deliver refined, high-quality decor solutions despite external constraints.

 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Excellence as a Daily Practice</h2>
 

According to Hitesh Bhagat, excellence is the result of hard work, discipline, and remarkable consistency. For him, excellence in decor is not a milestone; it has become his daily habit. One major challenge he faced was sourcing in a market ruled by metro wedding hubs. As suppliers focused on metropolitan cities, high-quality decor materials were costly and hard to find.

 

Hitesh Bhagat responded with similar intent to the opponents. He chose to build a direct relationship with manufacturers to avoid any intermediary in between and adopted localization by working hand in hand with artisans whose craftsmanship gave a unique touch to everything.

 

This approach transformed a logistical challenge into a creative advantage. The result was a distinctive decor identity that blended international standards with local artistry—something clients came to deeply value.

 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trust as a Core Business Principle</h2>
 

Trust is the true currency in the decor industry, where projects are personal, expectations run high, and no margin for error is left in implementation. Hitesh Bhagat built trust by being very transparent, communicating effectively, and being honest with the people around him.

 

Rather than overpromising, he focused on educating clients—guiding them through what was achievable while offering creative alternatives aligned with their aspirations. This transparent approach fostered collaboration instead of transactions, allowing for decor experiences that were realistic, distinctive, and memorable.

 

Actions and leadership qualities built his reputation for integrity. Consequently, those qualities resulted in long-term relationships and a reputation that reflected a brand identity.

 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Legacy That Inspires the Future</h2>
 

The true power of Hitesh Bhagat’s journey lies in how he transformed every challenge into an opportunity for growth. Building decor businesses in Jharkhand—far from the glamour of metro cities—has made him more practical, down-to-earth, and rooted in culture.

 

His legacy is all about trust, excellence, and valuing people. He is remembered not just for being successful but also for being grounded, respectful, and gentle towards others. He still motivates aspiring entrepreneurs by proving that success does not require compromising values. With clarity, compassion, and consistency, he has shown that leadership can be both powerful and deeply human.

 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where Leadership Meets Excellence</h2>
 

‘The Power of Purpose’ isn’t just a phrase; it tells the real story of Hitesh Bhagat’s journey in the world of decor. His story guides how a leader should be in person and in profession.

 

True leaders who lead with character not only build companies, they also earn people’s trust, inspire them, and shape their communities in ways that go far beyond success.

 

His journey is not just a success story. It is a clear demonstration of what is possible when leadership meets excellence and purpose leads the way.

 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">About Hitesh Bhagat</h2>
 

Hitesh Bhagat is a professional in the decor and events industry. He is based in Jharkhand. He is recognized for his purpose-driven leadership style, operational excellence, and ethical business practices. ]]></description>

<p> </p>
<div>
<p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 24:</strong> <em>Through Orchestro.AI, <a href="http://www.shekharnatarajan.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shekhar Natarajan</a> has risen to become one of the leading voices in the Agentic AI market. This release showcases his journey to date and  the challenges he aims to address. </em></p>
</div>
<p>On the morning of February 20, at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, a hall filled with global policymakers, technology executives, and international media fell silent as Shekhar Natarajan, Founder and CEO of Orchestro.AI, posed a challenge that cut through years of regulatory noise: <em>“The entire world is debating how to govern AI after the fact. That debate is already lost.”</em></p>
<p>The audience gave him a standing ovation. It was not the first time, and it is unlikely to be the last.</p>
<p>Natarajan’s arrival at the summit of global AI discourse is the culmination of a 25-year executive career inside some of the world’s most demanding corporate environments — Walmart, The Walt Disney Company, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Target, and American Eagle Outfitters — and a founding conviction that AI’s ethics problem cannot be patched. It must be engineered from the ground up.</p>
<h2>A Career Built on Scale</h2>
<p>Before Natarajan became a philosophical voice on artificial intelligence, he was one of the most operationally consequential figures in American retail logistics. At Walmart, serving as SVP of Last Mile and Emerging Sciences, he drove two transformations simultaneously. The first was commercial: growing the grocery business from $30 million to $5 billion, a 166-fold expansion that required building supply chain architecture at a scale where decisions affected millions of consumers daily. The second was structural: pioneering the use of crowdsourced delivery through partnerships with Uber, Lyft, and Deliv — introducing gig-economy fulfillment to mass-market retail before the concept had a name.</p>
<p>At American Eagle Outfitters, Natarajan took on a larger and more complex mandate as EVP and Chief Supply Chain Officer. His defining contribution there was the construction of an open-source distributed fulfillment model — a frenemy network that enlisted competitors and partners alike as nodes in a shared logistics infrastructure. The approach challenged the orthodoxy of proprietary supply chain control, arguing instead that collaborative, transparent networks could outperform closed systems on both cost and resilience. It was a philosophy that would later find its way, in updated form, into the architecture of Angelic Intelligence itself.</p>
<p>Educated at Georgia Tech, MIT, Harvard Business School, and IESE, Natarajan built across both technical depth and strategic breadth across his corporate tenure. He accumulated more than 70 patents across supply chain innovation, distributed intelligence, and logistics architecture — a body of intellectual property that reflects not just operational expertise, but a systematic approach to converting insight into protected frameworks.</p>
<h2>The Founding Thesis</h2>
<p>In August 2023, Natarajan founded Orchestro.AI with a proposition that inverts the conventional AI governance debate. Where regulators and ethicists argue for constraints applied to AI systems after their construction, Natarajan’s framework — which he terms Angelic Intelligence — argues that virtue must be native to the computational architecture itself. Ethics, in his formulation, is not a compliance layer. It is the substrate.</p>
<p>Angelic positions itself as the world’s first Trust Layer for AI: a virtue-native proxy that sits between an enterprise and any large language model, making AI not merely safer but — in Natarajan’s formulation — wiser. The product rests on four technical pillars: a Wisdom Engine that curates training data against human wisdom rather than internet noise; the MACI Framework (Multi-Architecture Consequential Intelligence), in which multiple AI agents debate each decision to produce deterministic, consistent reasoning; a configurable Virtue Stack that adapts context-aware intelligence across healthcare, logistics, finance, and education; and a Human Centric Scoring and Explainability layer that measures every decision against human benefit and renders its reasoning transparent.</p>
<p>At the operational core of the system are 27 Digital Angels — specialized AI agents, each embodying a cross-cultural virtue drawn from Sanskrit philosophical traditions, collaborating in real time on ethical decision-making. The framework protects its innovations across 43 filed patents, covering virtue-native reasoning through to human benefit measurement.</p>
<h2>The Problem He Is Solving</h2>
<p>Natarajan’s commercial case rests on a diagnosis of what he calls the fatal flaws in current AI models. His presentation to investors and policymakers identifies six structural failures in the prevailing generation of AI systems: training data contamination, where the absence of epistemic filtration allows misinformation to shape model behavior; validation-seeking optimization, where models are tuned for engagement rather than guidance; rigid, one-size-fits-all architecture unsuited to context-specific demands of hospitals, banks, and legal institutions; reasoning inconsistency that undermines trust in high-stakes decisions; cosmetic safety guardrails that independent testing has found to have a 97 percent jailbreak failure rate; and centralized control that concentrates influence over AI outputs in the hands of individual executives or governments.</p>
<p>The market opportunity Natarajan is addressing is substantial. His company identifies a total addressable market of $4.5 trillion, with a serviceable addressable market of $520 billion and an initial market position projected at $12–18 billion. His framing — that Angelic is the inevitable trustworthy AI layer every enterprise will require — is positioning the company directly in the path of regulatory tailwinds. The EU AI Act’s full enforcement begins in August 2026, with penalties reaching EUR 35 million or 7 percent of global revenue. Gartner projects that 50 percent of governments worldwide will enforce responsible AI regulations by 2026.</p>
<h2>Traction and Market Proof</h2>
<p>The public reception to Natarajan’s thesis has been remarkable in its velocity. His content campaign around Angelic Intelligence has reached 2 billion social media views across platforms. On Instagram, the content generated 299 million views, 91.5 million in reach, and 532,000 interactions. Facebook delivered 364 million views and 108 million unique viewers. On X, the hashtag #AngelicIntelligence trended at number three in technology globally and number two in India. His LinkedIn reach of 30.5 million impressions accompanied a 91 percent follower growth rate.</p>
<p>These figures are not merely promotional metrics. They represent market validation of a thesis that established AI governance institutions have been slow to articulate with equivalent clarity or commercial urgency. Natarajan has moved faster in public discourse than most regulatory bodies have moved in policy — a dynamic he acknowledges deliberately: the governance debate will catch up to his architecture, not the reverse.</p>
<h2>The Philosophical Architecture</h2>
<p>What distinguishes Natarajan from the large field of AI ethics commentators is the specificity of his technical claim. He is not arguing for behavioral guidelines or industry self-regulation. He is arguing that virtue, as a computational property, can be operationalized and protected through intellectual property. His 43 filed patents are the legal architecture of that argument.</p>
<p>The 27 Digital Angels framework draws explicitly on Sanskrit concepts of virtue — frameworks for understanding consciousness, ethics, and the relationship between capability and character that predate modern computing by millennia. Natarajan’s synthesis applies these philosophical traditions to a technological context they were never designed to address. The result is an approach that has resonated across cultures that have experienced optimization-first AI as extractive rather than beneficial.</p>
<p>His deployment targets reflect the commercial maturity of this vision. Home robotics, enterprise AI customization, workforce scheduling, content moderation, and mental health applications each represent contexts where the absence of trustworthy AI has produced documented failures. In each domain, his architecture offers the same proposition: configurable virtues, transparent reasoning chains, and decisions scored against human benefit rather than engagement or efficiency.</p>
<h2>Global Stage</h2>
<p>Natarajan is preparing appearances at the World Economic Forum in Davos and the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh, two venues where the intersection of capital, policy, and technological direction is most concentrated. His presence at both reflects a positioning strategy that places Angelic Intelligence not as a niche enterprise software product, but as a civilizational proposition: that the next generation of AI must be built to serve human dignity as a first-order computational requirement, not a secondary compliance obligation.</p>
<p>Market validation is arriving from multiple directions simultaneously. Humans&, a new AI company founded by Anthropic, xAI, and Google alumni, raised $480 million in seed funding at a $4.48 billion valuation in January 2026 — a signal that the market for virtue-aligned AI infrastructure has moved from philosophical to investable. The Kapor Foundation’s $500 million HumanityAI Initiative, Gartner’s regulatory timeline projections, and Dario Amodei’s “The Adolescence of Technology” essay have each, in different registers, provided independent validation of the framework Natarajan has been building.</p>
<p>Whether Orchestro.AI becomes the infrastructure layer for trustworthy enterprise AI or not, Natarajan has already accomplished something significant: he has made the case, with technical specificity and commercial credibility, that the AI industry’s governance problem is not a policy problem. It is an engineering problem. And he has filed the patents to prove it.</p>
<p><em>Shekhar Natarajan is the Founder and CEO of Orchestro.AI and the architect of Angelic Intelligence. He holds 70+ patents and has held senior executive roles including SVP of Last Mile and Emerging Sciences at Walmart and EVP and Chief Supply Chain Officer at American Eagle Outfitters.

        <title>Beyond Ethics: How One Visionary Is Building AI That Thinks With Virtue</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2-39.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="The Angel Maker-PNN"></p><p><em>As the world fractures along lines of ideology, race, and fear, Shekhar Natarajan’s Angelic Intelligence offers a radical counter-narrative — a Human Index to answer the Hate Index</em></p>
<p><strong>London [United Kingdom], February 24: </strong><em>In this opinion piece, <a href="http://www.shekharnatarajan.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shekhar Natarajan</a> explains how  he aims to promote ethical AI as a philosophy, and why it remains important. </em></p>
<p>The corridors of the British Houses of Parliament have heard many arguments about power, democracy, and the future of civilization. But when Shekhar Natarajan walked those storied halls and stood before lawmakers to speak about artificial intelligence, he brought something unusual to that ancient chamber: not a warning, not a pitch, but a philosophy — one rooted in virtue, in love, and in the ancient wisdom of humanity’s best impulses.</p>
<p>Parliament recognized him with a certificate for his “thought leadership in ethical artificial intelligence.” But Natarajan, the founder and CEO of Angelic Intelligence (operating through Orchestro.AI), would be the first to say the recognition points beyond ethics entirely. What he is building, he argues, is something civilization has never attempted before: technology that does not just avoid harm, but actively embodies virtue.</p>
<div>
<p><em>“The world doesn’t need AI that is less bad. It needs AI that is genuinely good — not by accident, but by design.”</em></p>
</div>
<h2>A World Coming Apart at the Seams</h2>
<p>To understand why Angelic Intelligence matters, you have to first reckon with what is happening to the world it seeks to serve. The numbers are stark and worsening. Global hate crimes are at multi-decade highs across the United States and Europe. Social media algorithms have been demonstrated, repeatedly, to amplify division over nuance, outrage over understanding, tribalism over common humanity. The very technology that promised to connect us has become, for many researchers, the most efficient hate-propagation machine ever built.</p>
<p>Now artificial intelligence — trained on that same polarized internet — threatens to amplify the fracture further. When AI models learn from the unfiltered web, they absorb its worst impulses alongside its best. They hallucinate facts, reinforce bias, satisfy the user’s desire for validation over their need for truth, and operate with a troubling ethical inconsistency: brilliant one moment, reckless the next.</p>
<p>The AI industry’s response has largely been to build guardrails after the fact — to train models on human values as an overlay, a kind of ethical paint applied to a wall that was built without foundations. Natarajan calls this approach fatally flawed. “Ethics bolted on after training is security theater on a broken foundation,” he says. “You are asking virtue to patrol a system that was never designed to be virtuous.”</p>
<h2>The Human Index: A Counter to the Hate Index</h2>
<p>At the heart of Angelic Intelligence is a deceptively simple proposition: what if we measured AI’s impact not by performance benchmarks, but by a Human Index — a scored, transparent measure of how much each decision serves human benefit, dignity, and flourishing?</p>
<p>In an era when researchers track the rise of Hate Indexes — quantitative measures of extremist content, dehumanizing language, and radicalization pathways — Natarajan is building the computational mirror image. Every decision Angelic Intelligence touches is scored against a framework of cross-cultural virtues, drawn not from any single tradition but from the convergent moral wisdom of human civilizations across centuries and continents.</p>
<p>This is the architecture of what he calls Virtue-Native Intelligence — not AI that tries to be ethical, but AI in which virtue is the computational substrate itself. The distinction is significant. In current AI systems, safety constraints are imposed from the outside, like a cage around a tiger. In virtue-native systems, the tiger is simply not built to harm.</p>
<div>
<p><em>“When hate rises globally, the answer is not better content moderation. The answer is building systems that are incapable of being weaponized for hate in the first place.”</em></p>
</div>
<h2>From Westminster to Davos: A Global Recognition</h2>
<p>The Houses of Parliament recognition was not an isolated moment. Natarajan has been invited to present at the World Economic Forum in Davos and the Future Investment Initiative — two of the most influential stages in global economics and policy. The fact that a founder building virtue-native AI is being placed alongside heads of state, central bankers, and the architects of global capital says something meaningful about where the conversation around AI is heading.</p>
<p>For years, the dominant AI discourse has been split between two camps: the accelerationists, who believe moving fast and building powerful systems is an unqualified good, and the safety advocates, who argue for slowdown, regulation, and red lines. Natarajan occupies a philosophically distinct third position: build faster, but build differently — embed virtue into the architecture itself so that acceleration and safety are not opposing forces but the same force.</p>
<p>His framework, the 27 Digital Angels, represents specialized AI agents embodying cross-cultural virtues — compassion, prudence, precision, courage, fairness — each drawn from the convergent moral traditions of human civilization. They do not operate sequentially but in deliberative concert, debating each consequential decision through what Natarajan calls the MACI Framework: Multi-Architecture Consequential Intelligence. The output is not just an answer, but a reasoning chain transparent enough that the human can see every virtue’s contribution to the conclusion.</p>
<h2>The Man Behind the Philosophy</h2>
<p>To understand why Shekhar Natarajan builds the way he does, you have to understand where he comes from. He arrived in America from South Central India with $34 in his pocket. His mother, who had no formal power, stood outside a school headmaster’s office for 365 consecutive days until the man relented and gave her son admission. She pawned her wedding ring — 30 rupees — to fund his education.</p>
<p>That $34 became a career spanning Walmart, where he grew the grocery business from $30 million to $5 billion; Disney, where he contributed to MagicBand technology; PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, Target, and American Eagle. He holds more than 70 patents. He studied at Georgia Tech, MIT, Harvard Business School, and IESE. Every morning at 4 AM, before the world demands anything of him, he paints — classical Indian painting — a discipline of combining ancient wisdom with present-day problems.</p>
<p>He is not, in other words, a technologist who discovered ethics. He is a man who discovered technology, and who has spent decades watching optimization-first systems diminish human dignity in ways that most engineers never see because they are not looking for it. He is building Angelic Intelligence not because it is a good business strategy — though he believes it is — but because he believes the next century’s survival depends on it.</p>
<h2>What Virtue-Native Means in Practice</h2>
<p>The practical architecture of Angelic Intelligence rests on four pillars. The Wisdom Engine curates training data from human wisdom rather than internet noise, ensuring AI learns from civilization’s best understanding rather than its worst impulses. The MACI Framework deploys multiple AI agents in structured debate, producing reasoning that is consistent, deterministic, and auditable. The Virtue Stack makes values configurable by context — a hospital needs different virtues foregrounded than a legal firm, which needs different emphasis than a school. And Human Centric Scoring makes every decision measurable against human benefit, with full transparency into the reasoning chain.</p>
<p>In practice, this means an enterprise using Angelic Intelligence as its AI trust layer can see, for any significant decision, not just what the AI recommended but which virtues argued for and against which options, how the final recommendation was weighted, and what the human benefit score of each alternative was. The black box opens. And what is inside is not an optimization function, but something closer to moral deliberation.</p>
<h2>A Thousand-Year Vision in an Eight-Second World</h2>
<p>What separates Natarajan most sharply from the dominant Silicon Valley ethos is his time horizon. He speaks openly of building for a thousand years. In an industry measured in quarters and product cycles, this sounds almost mystical. But it is grounded in a very practical observation: every civilization that has endured did so because it embedded its deepest values into its most powerful institutions. The ones that did not are ruins.</p>
<p>AI is becoming the most powerful institution humanity has ever built. The question of whether it endures — and what kind of world it builds around it — will depend on whether virtue was in its foundation or merely painted on its walls.</p>
<p>As the world grows more polarized, as Hate Indexes climb and democratic institutions strain under the weight of algorithmic tribalism, Angelic Intelligence represents something the conversation has been missing: not a warning, not a regulation, but an alternative. A Human Index. A system that asks, before every output, not “Is this correct?” but “Does this serve the human soul?”</p>
<p>Standing in the corridors of Parliament, in a deep burgundy suit against the ancient carved oak of one of democracy’s oldest homes, Natarajan looked less like a tech founder than like someone the building itself recognized — a person who arrived here the long way, carrying something worth hearing.</p>

        <title>Next Crypto to Explode in 2026: PayPal Faces Takeover Interest, but DeepSnitch AI Could Deliver USD 400k Returns Ahead of RIVER and XLM</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/next-crypto-to-explode-in-2026-paypal-faces-takeover-interest-but-deepsnitch-ai-could-deliver-usd-400k-returns-ahead-of-river-and-xlm</link>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-10-2.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Next Crypto to Explode in 2026: PayPal Faces Takeover Interest, but DeepSnitch AI Could Deliver USD 400k Returns Ahead of RIVER and XLM-PNN"></p><p dir="ltr">The instability of traditional finance was highlighted this week as PayPal Holdings reportedly attracted unsolicited takeover interest. But DeepSnitch AI has become a very interesting presale, having successfully raised more than $1,700,000 in its presale.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Over 175% paper profits have already been delivered to those who got in early, and smart money is positioning itself in <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=next-crypto-explode-2026-paypal-deepsnitch-400k-river-xlm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a>. This project is considered the next crypto to explode, offering a rare opportunity where a $10,000 buy could potentially generate $400,000 in returns.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">PayPal explores buyout amid stock slump</h2>
<p dir="ltr">According to a report from Bloomberg citing people familiar with the matter, PayPal has been meeting with banks to review buyout approaches from unnamed investors. One potential bidder, described as an industry rival, is reportedly exploring an acquisition of the entire company.</p>
<p dir="ltr">On the other hand, others have expressed interest in specific PayPal assets. Although there is no guarantee a deal will materialize, and discussions remain at an early stage, the market reacted swiftly. Shares jumped following the news, but this rebound only partly offsets a bruising year for investors.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">The next crypto to explode?</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI ($DSNT): The next big cryptocurrency?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">While PayPal battles for survival, DeepSnitch AI is thriving by solving the single biggest problem in the crypto market: trust. As the next crypto to explode, DeepSnitch AI monetizes the universal need for safety by providing an automated verification layer for smart contracts.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This utility ensures that every trader, regardless of their experience level, can identify risks before they invest.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Because this service is necessary for safe trading, the demand for the DSNT token is constant and organic, completely separating it from the volatility of speculative assets. Over $1.7 million has been raised, and the community has already staked more than 37 million tokens.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Additionally, there’s a very big chance this presale will be listed on top crypto exchanges, which is why many are trying to buy. Another reason is that the interface is very easy to use, especially for crypto investors and beginners.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=next-crypto-explode-2026-paypal-deepsnitch-400k-river-xlm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI’s interface</a> reveals why it is one of the top breakout crypto projects of the year. The dashboard features powerful modules like the Scan radar.</p>
<p dir="ltr"></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Stellar price prediction</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Investors searching for breakout crypto projects are finding little to get excited about with Stellar ($XLM). The payment network is showing signs of severe fatigue, with its 50-Day SMA of $0.1962 sitting well below the 200-Day SMA of $0.2826. This bearish cross indicates a weakening trend that makes it unlikely to be the next crypto to explode.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Furthermore, Stellar has suffered a price decline of 10% in the last 7 days as of February 23rd. Price predictions suggest that Stellar will likely reach $0.1762 by the end of 2026, which is actually a minimal gain of 15% compared to current rates.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Even long-term predictions for 2030 only point to $0.3228, a 112% increase.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">River price performance</h3>
<p dir="ltr">River ($RIVER) is another asset failing to meet the criteria for the next crypto to explode. The token is currently trapped in a cycle of extreme volatility, recorded at a staggering 79%. With a price decline of 26% in the last 7 days as of February 23rd, River is bleeding value far faster than the general market.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Fear & Greed Index for the token sits at 5, while the sentiment remains bearish. Price predictions forecast River could hit $15.42 by the end of 2026 for a 62% gain. But an extreme risk profile makes it a dangerous bet. It is clearly not one of the safe coins ready to rally in the current environment. Investors looking for the next crypto to explode are better off avoiding such instability.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">The bottom line</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The market’s focus has shifted entirely to identifying the next crypto to explode. And DeepSnitch AI could be the top opportunity, offering live utility, massive community staking, and a clear path to exponential returns.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">Is DeepSnitch AI really the next crypto to explode in 2026?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI is considered the next crypto to explode because its essential risk-analysis platform solves a critical market problem.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">What makes Stellar a poor choice for investors seeking the next big cryptocurrency?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Stellar is a poor choice for those seeking the next big cryptocurrency because it is an older asset with heavy resistance.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Are there any other coins ready to rally alongside DeepSnitch AI?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">While there are a few coins ready to rally in the current bearish climate, DeepSnitch AI stands out due to its live utility and massive presale momentum.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-1-58.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="180 Plus F and B Leaders and NRAI on One Stage: WAAYU Anchors High-Stakes Industry Dialogue in Pune-PNN"></p><p><b>Pune</b><span> <strong>(Maharashtra) [India], February 25: </strong></span>WAAYU, India’s pioneering 0% commission food delivery and restaurant technology platform, will host an exclusive NRAI Pune Chapter leadership evening on <strong>24 February 2026</strong> at Veranda, Effingut, Koregaon Park, Pune. The curated, invite-only gathering is expected to bring together <strong>180 to 200 of Pune’s leading restaurant owners and F&B decision-makers</strong>, including operators of multi-chain brands, high-revenue outlets, and premium dining concepts.</p>
<p>The event, themed <strong>“Zero Commission Food Tech Platform,”</strong> will feature a WAAYU presentation, a high-impact panel discussion, and curated networking cocktails and dinner—creating one of Pune’s most focused restaurant leadership forums.</p>
<p><strong>Reimagining Restaurant Growth Without Margin Loss</strong></p>
<p>A unified ecosystem with 0% commission is the answer to growth strategy for restaurant operators who want to scale successfully while improving their margins and controlling their operations. This session will explain how this ecosystem can improve order processing, streamline ordering, enhance customer retention, and help restaurants improve their day-to-day operations without losing profits, using Waayu and its products/stack  – a completely integrated technology platform.</p>
<p>WAAYU has a very simple value proposition that is easy for restaurant operators to understand; “Grow your business with 0% commissions!” The purpose of this session is to provide restaurateurs with an understanding of the WAAYU integrated technology stack. The stack will include:</p>
<p><strong>WAAYU POS</strong> – not just a payment system but rather an intelligence-driven system that combines unified operations with actionable insights</p>
<p><strong>EzeeMenu</strong> – contactless ordered through QR codes, eliminating many costs while providing a superior experience for guests</p>
<p><strong>Restaurant Mandi</strong> – a supplier marketplace with 0% commissions for 80+ different categories of products and services (e.g., ingredients, cooking equipment, etc.)</p>
<p><strong>WhatsApp Order – </strong>with this new feature, customers can now order food via chat on whatsapp.</p>
<p><strong>WAAYU Food Delivery App</strong> – India’s first 0% commission Food Delivery app, available for IOS and Android users</p>
<p><strong>Food Safety Manager </strong>– A compliance layer aligned with FSSAI regulations that includes performing daily checks, audits and reports.</p>
<p>These solutions can reduce dependence on platforms for restaurant operators and help them to create greater efficiency and maintain control over their brands.</p>
<p><strong>Subscription Model with Built-In Brand Growth</strong></p>
<p>Beyond technology, WAAYU’s 6 and 12-month subscription plans bundle core products with structured brand-building support.</p>
<p>Both plans include the Waayu stack (with 6 products) along with unlimited digital marketing support, offering festive creatives, on-demand posts and reels (as per design timelines), captions and hashtag support, posting calendars, Google Business profile optimization, in-store marketing creatives, menu makeovers with upsell labels, WhatsApp broadcast templates, and a monthly growth tip.</p>
<p>The 6-month plan includes a static one-page website, while the 12-month plan offers a dynamic, editable multi-page website—empowering restaurants to build direct brand demand rather than rely solely on marketplaces.</p>
<p><strong>Panel Discussion: Founders & NRAI Voice</strong></p>
<p>The evening will feature a panel discussion with WAAYU’s Co-founders and moderation by an NRAI restaurateur. Key discussion themes include:</p>
<ul>
<li>What “0% Food Tech Platform” means in practical, operational terms</li>
<li>How a unified tech stack strengthens ordering, operations, customer data, and repeat business</li>
<li>Building brand demand through digital marketing and owned channels</li>
<li>Direct Q&A with founders and ecosystem leaders</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Speaking ahead of the event, Anirudha Kotgire, MD & Co-founder of WAAYU, said</strong>: <em>“Restaurants deserve growth without sacrificing their margins or their customer relationships. The idea behind WAAYU is not just to remove commission — it is to rebuild the economics of food tech so that restaurants retain control of their data, visibility, and profitability. This session is about showing, in real operational terms, how a unified ecosystem can replace fragmented tools and aggregator dependency.”</em></p>
<p><strong>Mandar Lande, CEO & Co-founder of WAAYU, added:</strong> <em>“We see restaurants juggling multiple dashboards, suppliers, compliance checklists, and marketing agencies. The real opportunity lies in integration. When POS, ordering, supplier access, compliance, and digital marketing are connected within one ecosystem, decision-making becomes sharper and margins become stronger. That is the conversation we want to lead in Pune.”</em></p>
<p><strong>A High-Signal Leadership Forum</strong></p>
<p>This event will focus on owner-to-owner conversations and is designed to foster relationships between peers through curated networking opportunities. In combination with thought leadership, open and honest conversations, and structured growth solutions, WAAYU intends to make this event a vehicle for increased sustainable, margin-positive growth within the restaurant industry. As the restaurant industry continues to rapidly evolve, the change represented by this NRAI Pune Chapter event is significant: the restaurant industry is shifting from commission-based dependency to ecosystem-based empowerment.</p>

<p>The devotional track has been conceived as a heartfelt homage by Joy Mukerji’s son Monjoy Mukerji, honouring the memory and spiritual side of the evergreen actor who remains one of Hindi cinema’s most charming personalities.</p>
<p>The incredibly talented Joyneel Mukerji, just 13, has sung the sacred hymn with sincerity and innocence, giving the timeless prayer a fresh emotional appeal. The music has been composed by noted musician Sidharth Singh, who has blended devotion with a contemporary musical arrangement while retaining the essence of tradition.</p>
<p>Released under Monjoy Mukerji’s music label MJM Records, the project is both a tribute and a celebration of a remarkable cinematic legacy that continues to inspire fans across generations.</p>
<p>Remembered as one of Bollywood’s earliest “chocolate heroes,” Joy Mukerji created a special place in audiences’ hearts through films such as Love in Tokyo, Shagird, Ek Musafir Ek Haseena, Love in Simla, Phir Wohi Dil Laya Hoon and Ziddi. His charisma, music and screen presence remain unforgettable even today.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-101378" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-1-59.jpg" alt="Joyneel Mukerji Pays Tribute To His Late Grandfather Shree Joy Mukerji-PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p><em>Joyneel Mukerji & Sidharth Singh</em></p>
<p><strong>Speaking about the tribute, Monjoy Mukerji said,</strong></p>
<p>“My father’s birthday has always been a moment of gratitude and devotion for our family. Through this Hanuman Chalisa, we wanted to celebrate his spiritual side and keep his memory alive. Joyneel’s voice has a purity that truly captures the strength and positivity associated with Lord Hanuman, and we are happy to share this with audiences everywhere.”</p>
<p>The track will be available on all major digital audio streaming platforms, and there is already considerable excitement among admirers of the Mukerji legacy as well as lovers of devotional music.</p>
<p>The song also represents a coming together of iconic film families.</p>
<p>Composer Sidharth Singh is the great-grandson of legendary actor Ashok Kumar, whose illustrious family also includes the iconic Kishore Kumar. On the other hand, Joyneel Mukerji carries forward the lineage of Padma Shri Sashadhar Mukerji, one of the most influential figures in Indian cinema.</p>
<p><strong>Sharing his thoughts on the composition, Sidharth Singh said,</strong></p>
<p>“I am truly honoured to compose this soulful version of the Hanuman Chalisa. This project is very special because it symbolically brings together the musical and cinematic legacies of the Mukerji family along with the heritage connected to Ashok Kumar and Kishore Kumar.”</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-101379" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2-38.jpg" alt="Joyneel Mukerji Pays Tribute To His Late Grandfather Shree Joy Mukerji-PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p><em>Monjoy Mukerji </em></p>
<p>Young Joyneel Mukerji is equally thrilled about the release. Speaking about the experience, the young singer said he feels proud to be part of a tribute dedicated to his grandfather.</p>
<p>“It means a lot to me that this song is connected to my grandfather. I have always been inspired by my Jethu Monjoy Mukerji in music, and recording the Hanuman Chalisa was a very special experience for me. As a performer, I also admire Madonna for her energy and stage presence,” Joyneel shared.</p>
<p>With devotion, nostalgia and a strong family legacy behind it, this special rendition of the Hanuman Chalisa stands as a heartfelt musical offering celebrating the timeless memory of Joy Mukerji while introducing a promising new voice to listeners.</p>

<p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 24: </strong>A pregnancy diet should support the mother’s health and the baby’s growth.

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-24T185216.898.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="5G Expansion-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><span data-sheets-root="1"><strong>New Delhi [India], February 24:</strong> </span>India’s digital infrastructure push has entered its fastest phase yet, with fibre networks being rolled out at a record speed to support 5G densification, nationwide FTTH expansion and the explosive growth of hyperscale data centres. With millions of additional fibre-kilometres required in the coming years, the real contest has shifted from planning to flawless on-ground execution — where every splice, every hour and every machine matters.</p>
<p>At the heart of this high-pressure deployment cycle, fusion splicing has become a decisive factor. Even minor equipment failures or inconsistent splice quality can delay projects, escalate costs and slow network readiness. In a rollout race driven by strict timelines, downtime is no longer a technical issue but a business risk.</p>
<p>Positioning itself in this critical layer of India’s connectivity build-out, Star Infomatic Pvt. Ltd. has introduced the FFS-5000 Ultima Fusion Splicer, a system engineered specifically for the country’s demanding field conditions.</p>
<p><strong>Built for India’s toughest deployment environments</strong></p>
<p>Unlike conventional imported splicing machines designed for controlled climates, India’s fibre routes cut through dust-heavy construction zones, high-humidity coastal regions, extreme summer temperatures and remote rural landscapes. From highway OFC corridors and metro communication systems to dense urban FTTH grids, performance consistency under long, high-intensity work cycles is essential.</p>
<p>The FFS-5000 Ultima’s rugged structural design allows continuous transport across uneven terrain without affecting alignment precision. Its thermally stable arc system maintains uniform splice performance through extended shifts, enabling technicians to deliver reliable output from the first fibre to the last, even in peak deployment phases.</p>
<p><strong>Why ultra-low splice loss is now mission-critical</strong></p>
<p>As operators upgrade to high-capacity optical networks, the tolerance for splice loss has narrowed dramatically. Marginal losses can directly impact latency, signal strength and long-distance transmission efficiency — key metrics for 5G backhaul, GPON and XGS-PON FTTH, enterprise connectivity and data-centre interlinks.</p>
<p>With advanced core-alignment imaging and intelligent auto-calibration, the FFS-5000 Ultima ensures ultra-low splice loss across fibre categories, aligning with the performance demands of next-generation networks and mission-critical government communication systems.</p>
<p><strong>The local service advantage during peak rollout</strong></p>
<p>One of the biggest bottlenecks in India’s fibre expansion has been servicing delays associated with imported equipment — particularly spare-part availability and long repair cycles. During high-speed deployments, even short service gaps can stall entire project clusters.</p>
<p>By backing the FFS-5000 Ultima with a domestic service ecosystem — rapid technical response, immediate access to spares and nationwide field support — Star Infomatic is addressing one of the sector’s most persistent operational challenges: downtime.</p>
<p><strong>Designed for scale, speed and field productivity</strong></p>
<p>The machine’s technician-centric design includes an intuitive interface, automated calibration and extended battery endurance for full-day use in power-constrained locations. Faster sleeve-heating cycles and streamlined workflows allow both experienced splicers and newly trained crews to maintain consistent quality across large-scale rollouts.</p>
<p><strong>A larger shift in India’s telecom ecosystem</strong></p>
<p>Industry experts increasingly point out that in a project-driven fibre economy, the real cost of equipment lies in the delays it causes. Technologies that combine durability, arc stability, precision and local service support directly reduce total cost of ownership while accelerating deployment timelines.</p>
<p>As BharatNet expansion, 5G rollout and smart infrastructure programmes gather momentum, the telecom sector is steadily pivoting toward solutions engineered for Indian conditions rather than adapted from global templates.</p>
<p>In that transformation, the FFS-5000 Ultima is emerging not just as a tool for fibre splicing, but as an enabler of rollout velocity — a field-ready system built for the scale, speed and intensity of India’s digital connectivity revolution.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-1-43.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Powering the AI Era: India’s USD 200 Billion Push Needs Power Grid Overhaul-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 24: </strong>India is rolling out the red carpet for global technology leaders, with a commitment to catalyse nearly USD <a href="https://www.pib.gov.in/PressReleasePage.aspx?PRID=2229171&reg=3&lang=1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">$200 billion</a> in artificial intelligence investments over the next two years across all five layers of the AI stack. From semiconductor fabrication and data centres to cloud infrastructure and AI applications, the ambition signals India’s intent to position itself as a global AI powerhouse. As this digital ecosystem scales, ensuring robust and reliable power infrastructure will be equally critical to sustaining momentum.</p>
<p>At the recently concluded AI Impact Summit in New Delhi, IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw outlined a vision in which more than half of the energy powering this new AI infrastructure would come from clean sources. States such as Rajasthan and Gujarat already lead in solar generation and transmission expansion. The next phase of India’s AI journey will therefore hinge on strengthening grid integration, enhancing storage capacity, and enabling smarter load management so that renewable energy can seamlessly power the country’s fast-growing AI ambitions.</p>
<p>Over the last few months, nearly 8 gigawatts of green power – built at an estimated cost of Rs. 16,000 crore – have been subject to curtailment amid operational safeguards at the National Load Despatch Centre. To prevent grid disturbances during this rapid expansion phase, only a portion of the electricity has been allowed to flow through new lines, resulting in production adjustments equivalent to 18% of Rajasthan’s average monthly solar output.</p>
<p>For project developers, the transition underscores the importance of synchronized grid planning. Ratings agency India Ratings and Research notes that continued grid-access uncertainty could affect equity returns for renewable projects by 300 to 400 basis points. The central transmission utility (CTUIL) has highlighted a ‘mismatch’ between generation ambitions and demand growth, with over 60 GW of renewable capacity in Rajasthan awaiting transmission approval, pointing to the urgent need for faster infrastructure coordination to avoid congestion and stranded assets.</p>
<p>The implications extend beyond generators to India’s fast-growing data centre economy. Facilities requiring 24×7 power with near-zero downtime are operating in an environment where supply flows are being actively managed. In some metros, data centres already account for up to 15% of local grid capacity, a share expected to double by 2030. With hyperscalers demanding uninterrupted supply and grid operators yet to introduce robust compensation mechanisms for curtailment, reliability planning is becoming central to investment decisions.</p>
<p>Transmission awards worth Rs. 1.2 lakh crore have been issued this fiscal year alone, signalling an aggressive buildout of grid infrastructure. As capacity expands, the next phase will require enhanced real-time data sharing, dynamic load management, and integrated planning to ensure infrastructure is fully utilised.</p>
<p>If India wants to  capitalise on its projected $200 billion AI opportunity, the evolution of grid management from precautionary restriction to active optimisation will be a game changing step. The scale of investment, the pace of renewable growth, and the parallel expansion of transmission capacity suggests that the foundations are being laid efficiently, and not just for AI leadership, but for a more resilient and future-ready energy ecosystem.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-24T140248.179.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="The Conscience Engineer -PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><em>Natarajan returns to the streets of Hyderabad where he grew up — surrounded by the next generation he is building for.</em></p>
<p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 24: </strong><a href="http://www.shekharnatarajan.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shekhar Natarajan</a> grew up without electricity in Hyderabad, arrived in America with $34, and built a distinguished career at the world’s largest companies. Now he is pursuing something far more ambitious — a new paradigm for artificial intelligence that places human virtue at the center of every decision any machine will ever make.</p>
<p><strong>T</strong>he photograph tells a story before a word is read. Shekhar Natarajan — Forbes-listed, patent-holder, the man who grew Walmart’s grocery business 166-fold from $30 million to $5 billion — stands in the middle of a sea of uniformed schoolchildren in Hyderabad, wearing a white kurta, radiating calm. The children press in from every side. He is grinning.</p>
<p>He grew up a few streets from there.</p>
<p>That detail — the return, the rootedness, the refusal to erase his origins — is the key to understanding not just Shekhar Natarajan the man, but Angelic Intelligence, the philosophical framework he has spent the last decade constructing. At a moment when the world is grappling with what AI should be, Natarajan is asking something more foundational: What if artificial intelligence was designed, from its very first line of code, to behave the way a genuinely good human being does?</p>
<div>
<p><strong><em>“Ethics cannot be a patch. It cannot be a compliance checklist. If you have to teach a machine not to be harmful, you have already built the wrong machine.”</em></strong></p>
</div>
<p>— Shekhar Natarajan, AI Summit, New Delhi, February 2026</p>
<h2>Street Lights and a Pawned Ring</h2>
<p>Natarajan was born in Secunderabad, the twin city of Hyderabad, in South Central India. His family shared a single room. There was no electricity. He studied by streetlight. His father earned the equivalent of $1.75 a month. The circumstances were hard, but they were not without grace.</p>
<p>His mother — the figure who animates almost everything Natarajan has built — did not optimize. She sacrificed. When tuition fees were needed, she pawned her wedding ring for 30 rupees. When a local headmaster refused to grant her son admission to school, she returned to his office every morning for 365 consecutive days until he relented. A year. Standing outside a door. For the right of her son to learn.</p>
<p>“Real wealth is not money,” Natarajan says. “Real wealth is wisdom. My mother understood that. She gave up her most precious possession so I could learn. That’s not optimization — that’s love.” It is a sentence he returns to often. And it is the fulcrum on which his entire vision for AI rests.</p>
<h2>The Career of a Master Optimizer</h2>
<p>He arrived in the United States with $34 in his pocket. What followed was, by any conventional metric, a remarkable success. Degrees from Georgia Tech, MIT, Harvard Business School, and IESE. Senior leadership at Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Target, Disney, American Eagle, and Walmart. More than 70 patents. A career spent making the world’s most complex operations faster, smarter, and more responsive.</p>
<p>At Walmart, he grew the grocery business from $30 million to $5 billion — a 166-fold increase that reshaped how America’s largest retailer thought about food retail. At Disney, he contributed to the MagicBand technology that millions of park visitors now navigate without a second thought. He pioneered some of the earliest crowdsourced delivery systems, anticipating by years an entire revolution in how the world moves goods and services.</p>
<p>Yet at the height of that success, a deeper question began to surface. Efficiency, he had come to understand, is a tool — and like any tool, its value depends entirely on the intention behind it. Systems that optimize without asking who they serve — in healthcare, in education, in finance, in governance, in every domain where AI is now being deployed — risk becoming sophisticated instruments of indifference.</p>
<p>“I spent decades making systems more efficient,” he reflects. “Faster. Cheaper. More scalable. But the most important question is not how fast — it is for whom. And whether those people are seen.”</p>
<h2>The Architecture of Virtue</h2>
<p>Angelic Intelligence is not a product. It is a paradigm. Natarajan’s proposition is that the next evolution of artificial intelligence — across every sector, every application, every country — must embed human values directly into the computational architecture itself, from the very beginning. Not as a layer added later. Not as a policy document. As the foundation.</p>
<p>His framework deploys 27 specialized AI agents — the “Digital Angels” — each embodying a specific virtue drawn from wisdom traditions across human civilization. Karuna, from Sanskrit, represents compassion. Satya embodies truth. Ahimsa, non-harm. Nyaya, justice. The agents draw on Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, Islamic, Indigenous, and philosophical traditions — a deliberate act of cross-cultural design reflecting Natarajan’s conviction that wisdom is not the property of any single civilization, and neither should be the machines that now shape all of them.</p>
<p>In practice, no significant decision is made by a single optimization engine. The 27 agents collaborate — and in some cases, reach consensus — before action is taken. The same framework that can ask whether a medical resource reaches the right patient can ask whether an algorithm is treating a loan applicant with dignity, whether a hiring system is recognizing potential fairly, whether a content recommendation is serving genuine human flourishing. The domain changes. The moral architecture does not.</p>
<p>“Ethical decisions are almost never single-variable optimizations,” Natarajan explains. “Real ethics involves trade-offs between competing goods. A system that can only optimize for one thing cannot be ethical — it can only be efficient. And efficiency without wisdom is an incomplete idea.”</p>
<div>
<p><strong><em>“The domain changes. The moral architecture does not. Whether it is healthcare, education, finance, or governance — the machine must ask the same first question: does this honor human dignity?”</em></strong></p>
</div>
<p>— Shekhar Natarajan</p>
<h2>Standing Ovations and Global Stages</h2>
<p>Just days ago, Natarajan delivered a keynote address at the AI Summit on Trust, Safety, and the Future of AI Governance at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi. The room — packed with global policymakers, technology executives, and international media — gave him a standing ovation.</p>
<p>His central message was clear: the current conversation about AI governance, however well-intentioned, is largely reactive — addressing consequences after systems are already deployed across hospitals, schools, courts, banks, and governments. Angelic Intelligence offers a different starting point entirely. Build with values first, and governance becomes a natural outcome rather than an imposed constraint.</p>
<p>The delegates who approached him afterward — from healthcare, public governance, education, and financial services — were not asking about any single industry. They were asking about the idea. How do you make a machine that remembers why people matter? Natarajan’s answer, refined over a decade, is Angelic Intelligence.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-70129" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-24T190822.754.jpg" alt="Engineer-PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p><em>Natarajan accepting the Burj CEO Award, 8th Edition, Dubai — November 24, 2025.</em></p>
<p>Recognition has followed. The Burj CEO Award, one of the most prestigious leadership honours in the Gulf region, was presented to Natarajan in Dubai in November 2025. With confirmed invitations to speak at the World Economic Forum and the Future Investment Initiative, he is now building a platform that bridges the corporate world he has mastered and the philosophical terrain he has always inhabited. In a field hungry for moral clarity, he arrives with the framework already built.</p>
<h2>Painting at 4 AM, Thinking in Centuries</h2>
<p>Every morning, before the rest of San Francisco wakes, Natarajan sits with classical Indian painting materials and works in silence. The practice is not a hobby. It is a method of thinking — a daily reminder that the most enduring things are made slowly, with intention, and with love for what they will become.</p>
<p>His son Vishnu is a frequent presence in his reflections on why this work matters. The technology Natarajan is building is not designed for a product cycle. He describes it as a thousand-year project — AI systems built to become more trustworthy as they become more capable, carrying values that deepen over time rather than erode under pressure.</p>
<p>“Without protection, anyone could take these concepts and implement them in name only, while pursuing the same old optimization. The patents ensure the framework must be implemented correctly — with all 27 agents functioning as designed. This is a thousand-year project. It has to be built right.”</p>
<h2>The Innovation That Margins Cannot Measure</h2>
<p>The photograph of Natarajan surrounded by those Hyderabad schoolchildren is an invitation. It asks a question the global technology industry is only beginning to reckon with: what intelligence, what creativity, what potential exists in communities that the systems of the past were never designed to reach?</p>
<p>Angelic Intelligence, as Natarajan envisions it, is the answer not just to that question but to the larger one beneath it: what kind of future do we want AI to build? One that optimizes the world for those already at the top of it? Or one that extends the circle of dignity — in healthcare decisions, in access to education, in financial inclusion, in civic participation — to everyone the old systems missed?</p>
<p>“I came from nothing,” he says, in the plainest summary of everything. “I studied under street lights. I know what it means to be invisible to systems. And I know that the child in those streets is not a data point. She is the point.”</p>
<p><em>Shekhar Natarajan is the Founder & CEO of Orchestro.AI and inventor of Angelic Intelligence. He is scheduled to speak at the World Economic Forum and Future Investment Initiative.</em></p>

<p>At an age when most are still experimenting with short pieces, Samriddhi has undertaken the demanding challenge of writing a full length novel, crafting a story that is dark, layered, and emotionally intense. Mine, Even in Death pulls readers into a world where devotion turns dangerous and where the line between passion and possession slowly dissolves.</p>
<p>The novel stands out for its psychological depth and suspense driven narrative. With unexpected twists and an undercurrent of tension running throughout, it keeps readers questioning motives, morality, and the true nature of attachment. Mystery lovers and fans of psychological thrillers will find themselves particularly drawn to its chilling atmosphere and unpredictable storyline.</p>
<p>Writing such a complex narrative required disciplined plotting, character building, multiple drafts, and rigorous refinement. Samriddhi’s ability to sustain suspense while maintaining emotional complexity reflects both creative instinct and trained craftsmanship.</p>
<p>Her work signals the emergence of a powerful young voice in contemporary fiction, one unafraid to explore the darker corners of the human psyche.</p>
<p>Samriddhi Rajpal is a student of Gurukul Global School, Panchkula.</p>

<p>The vibrant lanes of Karol Bagh were filled with smiles, colours, music, and heartfelt devotion as the Shri Ramayan Prachar Samiti Trust successfully concluded its 14th Annual Holi Mangal Milan, Hasya Kavi Sammelan, and Bhajan Sandhya at Ram Vatika, 53 Block Park, Ramjas Road, New Delhi‑110005. Over two unforgettable evenings, families, poetry lovers, devotees, and community members came together to celebrate the true essence of Holi—joy, unity, and spiritual warmth.</p>
<p><strong>A Night of Endless Laughter and Literary Charm</strong></p>
<p>The festivities opened on February 22, 2026, with the enchanting Hasya Kavi Sammelan, where the atmosphere was filled with humour, poetic brilliance, and constant applause. The gathering enjoyed spellbinding performances by some of India’s most beloved poets—Shri Rajesh Chetan, Shri Gajendra Solanki, Shri Santosh Anand, Shri Mahendra Ajanabi, Smt. Baljeet Kaur ‘Tanha’, Shri Deepak Saini, and Shri Chetan Charchit from Indore. Each poet brought their unique flavour—some making the audience laugh until their eyes watered, others touching hearts with emotional verses. The evening became a beautiful reminder that poetry does not just entertain, but also connects souls and communities.</p>
<p>An enjoyment quote perfectly capturing the evening would be: “Laughter becomes divine when shared with hundreds of hearts beating together in joy.”</p>
<p><img class="fr-fic fr-dib" src="https://pnndigital.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/2026/02/postpressreleasecontent/postpressreleasecontentd2ce7725-502b-4d46-f22b-717c379fb18a.png"></p>
<p><strong>A Divine Evening of Devotion and Togetherness</strong></p>
<p>On February 23, the ambience transformed into one of serenity and devotion as the Trust hosted the soulful Bhajan Sandhya & Falgun Utsav. With the theme “Falgun ke Rang Baba Khatwale ke Sang,” the event radiated spiritual energy and festive charm. The melodious voices of Shri Mukesh Bagda (Jaipur) and Shri Deepak Bindlish (Delhi) filled the venue, drawing devotees into an evening of peace, prayer, and emotional resonance. Acharya Ram Gupal Shukla was also there</p>
<p>As the bhajans echoed across Ram Vatika, families swayed gently to the rhythm, children played with colours, and elders sat in peace—an embodiment of Holi’s pure spirit. A beautiful quote that sums up the devotional night: “Where voices rise in devotion, hearts find their true colours.”</p>
<p><strong>Prasadam, Peace, and the Power of Community</strong></p>
<p>After both evenings, the Trust served Prasadam dinner to all attendees—continuing its long‑standing tradition of sharing food as a symbol of love and equality. People from all walks of life sat together, strengthening bonds and creating memories that will stay alive long after the festival’s colours fade.</p>
<p><strong>A Legacy Bigger Than a Festival</strong></p>
<p>The Trust also arranges spiritually enriching journeys for devotees to Ayodhya (Shri Ram Lalla) and Shri Jagannath Temple, ensuring accommodation, meals, and guidance, which participants deeply appreciate.</p>
<p>Kapil Aggarwal, Founder Member of Shri Ramayan Prachar Samiti Trust, said, “We work towards promoting unity in the country, and through such events, we showcase this unity. Apart from this, we also conduct social activities like arranging marriages for the underprivileged, which earns us blessings and motivates us to continue working for the nation’s progress.”</p>
<p>As the colours settle and the melodies fade, one emotion lingers—gratitude. Gratitude for the joy shared, the bonds strengthened, and the culture celebrated. This year’s festivities were not just events; they were experiences that will shine brightly in the hearts of all who attended.</p>
<p>“Holi is not just celebrated—it is felt, lived, sung, and remembered.”</p>

        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/5-best-akashic-readers-in-india-2026-edition</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/5-best-akashic-readers-in-india-2026-edition</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-24-2-26-3-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Akashic Readers"></p><p><span><strong>New Delhi [India], February 24:</strong> </span>In recent years, Akashic Records readings have moved from being a niche spiritual concept to a widely discussed form of soul guidance in India. People are turning to Akashic readers to understand karmic patterns, past-life influences, relationship blocks, and life purpose.</p>
<p>As interest grows, so does the number of practitioners offering sessions. But not every reader works the same way. If you are searching for the <strong>best Akashic reader</strong>, it is important to look beyond marketing claims and understand each practitioner’s approach, credibility, and depth of experience.</p>
<p>Here is a carefully curated list of five well-known Akashic readers in India who have built strong reputations in the spiritual space.</p>
<h2><strong>1. Psychic Medium Daksh</strong></h2>
<p>Psychic Medium Daksh is often regarded by clients as one of the <a href="https://psychicmediumdaksh.com/akashic-reading/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>best Akashic readers</strong></a><strong> in India</strong>, known for his direct and intuitive method of accessing the Records. Based in Delhi, he began experiencing spiritual communication at a young age and has since developed a practice that combines mediumship and Akashic insight.</p>
<p>What makes his approach distinct is that he does not rely on tarot cards, astrology charts, or ritualistic frameworks. Instead, he accesses the Records through direct channeling. His sessions typically focus on identifying karmic cycles, ancestral influences, soul contracts, and recurring life patterns.</p>
<p>In addition to Akashic readings, he is also known as a <strong>famous spirit communicator in Psychic Medium Daksh</strong>, frequently invited to speak about consciousness, energy, and the afterlife on podcasts and public platforms. Clients often seek him for clarity that is both spiritual and practical, especially during major life transitions.</p>
<p>Best suited for: Individuals looking for direct, intuitive Akashic insights with emphasis on karmic clarity and real-life application.</p>
<h2><strong>2. Dr. Nitin Bhatnagar</strong></h2>
<p>Dr. Nitin Bhatnagar combines Akashic Records reading with structured spiritual coaching. Based in Mumbai, his sessions are often methodical and discussion-driven, making them accessible to clients who prefer a logical and organized format.</p>
<p>He integrates concepts from energy psychology along with Akashic access, focusing on emotional healing, decision-making clarity, and personal development.</p>
<p>Best suited for: Those who appreciate a structured, coaching-style approach to spiritual insight.</p>
<h2><strong>3. Ananya Rao</strong></h2>
<p>Ananya Rao is a Bangalore-based Akashic practitioner known for her calm and meditative session style. Her readings often include grounding exercises and reflective pauses, allowing clients to process information gradually.</p>
<p>She focuses on themes such as self-awareness, inner alignment, and emotional release rather than predictive elements.</p>
<p>Best suited for: Individuals new to Akashic Records who prefer a gentle, guided experience.</p>
<h2><strong>4. Rhea Mehta</strong></h2>
<p>Rhea Mehta conducts online Akashic sessions for clients across India. Her work largely centers around relationship karmas, career crossroads, and repetitive emotional patterns.</p>
<p>Her conversational style makes sessions approachable for young professionals navigating life changes.</p>
<p>Best suited for: Clients seeking clarity in relationships and career decisions.</p>
<h2><strong>5. Arvind Kapoor</strong></h2>
<p>Arvind Kapoor blends intuitive Akashic reading with holistic wellness principles. His sessions frequently explore ancestral patterns, generational influences, and personal growth themes.</p>
<p>He also conducts introductory workshops, making Akashic knowledge accessible to beginners.</p>
<p>Best suited for: Those exploring karmic and ancestral insights for the first time.</p>
<h2><strong>How to Choose the Best Akashic Reader</strong></h2>
<p>The phrase <strong>best Akashic reader</strong> can mean different things to different people. What truly matters is alignment and credibility. Before booking a session, consider the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Does the practitioner clearly explain how they access the Records?</li>
<li>Is their approach tool-based or intuitive?</li>
<li>Do they emphasize empowerment over dependency?</li>
<li>Are their testimonials and public presence verifiable?</li>
<li>Do you feel comfortable with their communication style?</li>
</ul>
<p>A meaningful Akashic session should leave you with clarity, not confusion. It should feel grounded and insightful rather than dramatic or fear-driven.</p>
<h2><strong>Final Thoughts</strong></h2>
<p>Akashic Records readings can offer deep insight into recurring life themes, karmic patterns, and personal growth. As spiritual awareness continues to expand in India, several practitioners have emerged with different approaches and strengths.</p>
<p>Whether you are drawn to a structured coaching model or direct intuitive channeling, taking the time to research and align with the right practitioner makes all the difference. For many seekers, working with an experienced professional such as Psychic Medium Daksh, known both as a <strong>best Akashic reader</strong> and a <strong>famous spirit communicator</strong>, provides a balanced blend of clarity, credibility, and spiritual depth.</p>
<p>Choosing wisely ensures that the experience supports your growth in a thoughtful and empowering way.</p>

<p><span><strong>New Delhi [India], February 24:</strong> </span>In the dynamic world of Indian finance, some stories are inspiring, like the NJ group. Established in 1994 by visionary industry leaders Mr. Neeraj Choksi and Mr. Jignesh Desai, the company has grown humbly at a modest home office in Surat, which has become a powerhouse in mutual fund distribution across India.</p>
<p>Outside the university, Neeraj and Jignesh began their entrepreneurial journey at a time when mutual funds were still a relatively unfamiliar concept for most Indians. In the environment marked by scepticism and limited awareness, his faith in the transformational power of disciplined investment was firm.</p>
<p>Due to the initial challenges, the pair focused on educating people about the ability of mutual funds to build long term money. His unwavering commitment to financial literacy, investor empowerment, and moral practices quickly became the cornerstone of the NJ Group philosophy. By promoting trust, transparency, and frequent investor engagement, he laid a strong foundation, which will eventually revolutionise the distribution of financial products in the country.</p>
<p>Today, NJ Group not only stands as a commercial success story but also serves as a catalyst in shaping India’s investment culture, operated by two friends who turned the vision into reality.</p>
<p>As they built their network, the equity markets began to turn favourable, and NJ Group experienced exponential growth. Today, the firm has become one of India’s largest mutual fund distributors.</p>
<p>Over the years, NJ Group grew rapidly. They expanded from mutual funds into other areas like insurance and asset management. Today, NJ Group manages over 2,86,807 Cr. crores in assets and has more than 2525 employees across 230 locations in India. Their flagship business, NJ Wealth, has over 50,932 active distributors, all working hard to spread financial awareness and provide access to mutual funds.</p>
<p>Neeraj Choksi and Jignesh Desai have always believed that financial services should be available to everyone, regardless of their background. They understand that despite their success, there are still many challenges to overcome. Only about 3% of India’s population invests in mutual funds, which is far lower than in countries like the US and the UK. They see this as an opportunity a chance for young entrepreneurs and aspiring distributors to join them in changing the way people think about finance.</p>
<p>The duo is committed to empowering others to become mutual fund distributors, helping to create a network that can reach more people. They know that with increased financial literacy, more individuals can participate in the economy and improve their lives. As India looks toward a brighter future, Neeraj and Jignesh are excited about the potential for growth in the mutual fund industry. They encourage young people to see this as a career opportunity, emphasising that the stage is set for a financial revolution.</p>
<p>Their journey is not just about building a business; it’s about making a real impact on society. Neeraj and Jignesh often remind everyone, “Mutual funds sahi hai” a phrase that captures their belief in the value of investing. Their story is a powerful reminder that with hard work, dedication, and a desire to help others, anyone can achieve their dreams and contribute to a greater cause. The NJ Group continues to lead the way, inspiring countless individuals to join them in their mission of financial inclusion and prosperity for all.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-24-2-26-1-5.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Sterling Hospitals" decoding="async"></p><p><span data-sheets-root="1"><strong>Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], February 24:</strong> </span>Sterling Hospitals, in collaboration with the Rotary Club, successfully organized a Cancer Awareness Walkathon to promote awareness about early detection and timely treatment of cancer. Nearly 500 participants took part in the walk, which commenced from Sterling Hospital’s Sindhubhavan Unit. The event was held between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM and witnessed enthusiastic participation from healthcare professionals, Rotary members, cancer survivors and citizens committed to spreading the message that cancer can be cured if treated at the right time.</p>
<p>The walkathon aimed to create greater public awareness about cancer prevention, the importance of recognizing early symptoms and the need for regular health check-ups. Organizers emphasized that fear and lack of awareness often lead to delayed diagnosis, whereas timely medical consultation can significantly improve treatment outcomes.</p>
<p><strong>Mr. Santosh Marathe, MD & CEO, Sterling Hospitals</strong>, said<strong>,</strong> “Sterling Hospitals offers diagnosis, treatment, survivorship programs & palliative care under Oncology services. With advancements in oncology care, many cancers can be effectively treated and even cured, if diagnosed at the right stage. Through this walkathon, we wanted to reinforce the message that timely screening and medical intervention can truly save lives.”</p>
<p>Highlighting the <strong>Sterling hospital’s</strong> continued commitment, <strong>Mr.</strong> <strong>Raman Bhaskar, Zonal Director, Ahmedabad Unit</strong>, <strong>Sterling Hospitals</strong>, stated, “The encouraging participation of nearly 500 citizens reflects the growing awareness in the community. Our Sindhubhavan Unit has been dedicated to providing comprehensive cancer care for several years and initiatives like this help us take the message of early detection and cure beyond hospital walls.”</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Prasad Muglikar, Group Medical Director, Sterling Hospitals Group</strong>, said, “Cancer care today goes beyond treatment. It is equally about awareness, prevention and early diagnosis. Initiatives like this walkathon help bridge the gap between medical knowledge and public understanding, encouraging people to seek timely consultations and adopt healthier lifestyles that can reduce cancer risk.”</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Pooja Nandwani Patel, Director – Radiation Oncology, Sterling Hospitals</strong>, added, “From a clinical perspective, early detection helps identify cancer cases at very early stages, thereby reducing the need for multiple treatments and significantly improving cancer cure rates while ensuring a good quality of life after treatment. Through community outreach efforts like this, we aim to educate citizens about the importance of screening and reassure them that with modern therapies and multidisciplinary care, cancer can be effectively managed.”</p>

<p>Adding the Rotary perspective, the spokesperson said, “Rotary has always believed in serving the community through meaningful action. This walkathon is a step toward educating people that cancer should not be feared or ignored. Awareness, regular check-ups and timely treatment can make a life-saving difference.”</p>
<p><strong>Sterling Hospitals’ Sindhubhavan Unit</strong>, a dedicated cancer specific center operational for several years, continues to provide comprehensive oncology services including advanced diagnostics, medical oncology, surgical oncology and radiation oncology under one roof.</p>
<p>In urban cities like Ahmedabad, changing lifestyles and delayed health check-ups often contribute to late diagnoses. Sterling Hospital strongly urges citizens not to ignore persistent symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, prolonged cough, unusual lumps, abnormal bleeding or long-standing discomfort.</p>
<p>Regular screenings and preventive health check-ups play a vital role in identifying cancer at an early stage. More importantly, spreading the message that cancer is treatable and, in many cases, curable if addressed in time, is central to this initiative. The successful completion of the walkathon marked a significant step toward building a more informed and health-conscious Ahmedabad, reinforcing the belief that with awareness, regular screening and timely treatment, cancer can be effectively managed and, in many cases, cured.</p>

        <title>Dr. Harsh Sheth Highlights The Obesity–Hernia Connection: Why Hernia Cases Are Becoming More Complex</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/dr-harsh-sheth-highlights-the-obesityhernia-connection-why-hernia-cases-are-becoming-more-complex</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/dr-harsh-sheth-highlights-the-obesityhernia-connection-why-hernia-cases-are-becoming-more-complex</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-24-2-26-7.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Dr. Harsh Sheth" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 24: S</strong>urgeons across India are experiencing an increase in difficult hernia operations which primarily occurs because of rising obesity rates. Medical experts now warn that excess body weight not only increases the risk of developing hernias but also complicates their treatment, recovery, and long-term outcomes. The current trend has started to draw attention to the strong relationship which exists between obesity and hernia development.</p>
<p>Bariatric and laparoscopic surgery specialists report that abdominal wall hernias which include umbilical hernias and incisional hernias and ventral hernias now occur more frequently among patients who have excess weight. The constant pressure which the excess fat applies to the abdominal wall causes muscle weakness under the pressure, which results in abdominal wall bulging and ruptures. In obese patients, hernias also tend to be larger, recurrent, and more difficult to repair successfully.</p>
<p>Dr. Harsh Sheth, the foremost Bariatric and <a href="https://drharshsheth.com/laparoscopic-surgery-in-mumbai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Laparoscopic Surgeon in Mumbai</a>, states that obesity causes two different effects which lead to hernias. The extra body weight creates elevated abdominal pressure, which results in abdominal wall damage. Modern surgeons encounter their greatest obstacle when they need to perform hernia surgery on patients who have diabetes and high blood pressure and fatty liver disease. The medical conditions of patients create two problems during surgery because they raise danger levels and create obstacles to optimal healing post surgery. The surgical treatment of hernias for obese patients demands specialized knowledge and advanced medical techniques in addition to a cooperative effort between various medical teams.</p>
<p>Literature studies indicate patients who suffer from obesity face a higher risk of developing surgical complications, which include both wound infections, mesh problems and recurrences following their standard hernia operations. The surgical community has started to prefer minimally invasive methods which use laparoscopic and <a href="https://drharshsheth.com/hernia-surgery-in-mumbai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">robotic hernia surgeries</a> because these techniques decrease surgical damage and lead to better patient recovery results.</p>
<p>“Minimally invasive hernia surgery has transformed the way we treat obese patients,” says Dr. Sheth. “Smaller incisions mean less pain, faster healing, and lower infection rates. However, long-term success still depends on addressing obesity as an underlying cause.”</p>
<p>Another emerging trend is the increasing number of patients who develop hernias which keep coming back after they have undergone earlier open surgical procedures. People with obesity have a much higher chance of experiencing recurrence which makes their subsequent operations more complicated and demanding than regular procedures. The surgical community now engages in discussions about how doctors should manage obesity before performing hernia surgery.</p>
<p>Surgeons in specific situations now use a combination of bariatric and hernia surgery which allows them to perform weight-loss surgery and hernia repair either simultaneously in a staged manner. The method intends to decrease total surgical hazards while enhancing results that persist over time. Patients who undergo bariatric surgery experience weight reduction which creates lower abdominal wall tension and enhances their metabolic system while decreasing the likelihood of developing hernias again.</p>
<p>Dr. Sheth points out that patient knowledge plays a vital role in hernia treatment. The absence of initial pain from swelling makes people postpone their hernia treatment. The delays in hernia treatment due to obesity may lead to dangerous bowel obstruction and strangulation. The emergency situation occurs due to either a lack of early detection or postponing surgical evaluation.</p>
<p>Experts state that hernia repair represents only one component of a complete health program which requires patients to control their weight and adopt new habits while receiving ongoing medical supervision.</p>
<p>Awareness about the connection between obesity and hernias will allow patients to make better medical choices. Patients who lose weight before or after hernia surgery experience better surgical results and better life quality. Medical professionals now recommend that patients use long-term weight loss methods such as medical nutrition therapy and supervised exercise, or pharmacotherpay, or bariatric surgery when it is needed.</p>
<p>As awareness grows, medical professionals hope that more patients will seek early consultation and holistic treatment rather than delaying care. “The goal is not just to repair a hernia, but to prevent it from coming back,” says Dr. Sheth. “Addressing obesity is central to achieving that goal.”</p>
<p>The management of hernia in obese patients demonstrates rapid progress through current developments in minimally invasive surgical techniques and increased research focus on metabolic health. Experts predict that the future of hernia treatment in India will depend on an integrated approach that combines surgical skills with weight management solutions.</p>

        <title>Early Surgical Intervention in Parkinson’s Disease: Why Waiting Too Long May Limit Treatment Benefits? – Dr. Naren Nayak</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-24T185630.755.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Disease-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>Thane (Maharashtra) [India], February 24: </strong>Patients with Parkinson’s disease require primary medication for their condition until they reach the point where doctors need to conduct surgery. Medical research currently demonstrates that patients with Parkinson’s disease can achieve better long-term results through surgical treatment when they undergo surgery at an early stage of their condition.</p>
<p>Dr. Naren Nayak, Consultant <a href="https://drnarennayak.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Neurosurgeon in Thane</a> and Movement Disorder Specialist, states that patients who postpone their medical evaluation until their symptoms become severe will experience lower treatment success with advanced medical solutions which will hinder their progress toward better health. Parkinson’s disease causes patients to develop their condition in stages which results in medications producing “on-off” effects and multiple “on” and “off” symptom periods. People hold a false belief which Dr. Nayak describes as surgical treatment needing to wait until all other methods have shown no success. The early assessment process enables specialists to identify patients who will receive the most benefit from surgical procedures such as <a href="https://drnarennayak.com/deep-brain-stimulation-in-thane/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deep Brain Stimulation</a> (DBS) for Parkinson’s disease before their condition reaches a point which will result in less effective outcomes. Parkinson’s disease DBS treatment operates as an established surgical procedure which scientists have researched through medical studies. The treatment enables patients to control their tremors and rigidity along with their movement speed and motor fluctuations by using electrical stimulation to activate brain areas.</p>
<p>DBS proves effective when provided at correct times because it decreases medication requirements while sustaining daily symptom control and enabling substantial progress in patient independence. Early surgical assessment leads to two outcomes for patients which include assessment of their medical condition through neurological testing and neurosurgical evaluation for determining which treatments should proceed and when based on their medical condition. Modern functional neurosurgery provides patients with targeted treatment options which include DBS, Thalamotomy, Pallidotomy, Radiofrequency Lesioning and MR-Guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) for specifically selected patients who require movement disorder treatment. The implementation of advanced imaging systems together with precise targeting abilities and modern technological advancements enables procedures to achieve improved safety levels and enhanced operational efficiency compared to previous times.</p>
<p>Research from around the world shows that patients who get surgery in the early stages of their medical condition experience better results with their motor skills and overall life satisfaction while maintaining higher levels of social and work engagement. The healthcare system needs to draw more attention toward treating disability which happens before patients reach critical impairment because this period provides major advantages which include surgical treatment with higher success rates. Dr. Nayak emphasizes that timely referral is critical, stating that “patients should be evaluated for surgical options when medications start causing side effects or no longer provide consistent control, not years later when options become restricted.”</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-24T190008.711.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="IVF-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><span data-sheets-root="1"><strong>Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], February 24</strong>: </span>The Nisha IVF Centre, which Dr. Nisarg Patel directs as its director, uses his expertise to create new methods of treating fertility problems that women with low ovarian reserve experience through their egg rejuvenation approaches. The new method helps women achieve higher IVF success rates when they face challenges with their egg count and quality.</p>
<p>Women with low ovarian reserve, which usually occurs because of their age or existing medical conditions, experience major challenges when trying to conceive. The best way for most people to achieve conception lies with IVF which allows them to create embryos outside their body. The new egg rejuvenation treatments at Nisha<a href="https://nishaivf.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a><a href="https://nishaivf.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IVF Centre in Ahmedabad</a> establish a direct solution to this problem because they bring eggs back to life which results in greater success rates for future pregnancies.</p>
<p><a href="https://nishaivf.com/best-ivf-doctor-in-world/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Nisarg Patel</a>, Founder and Director of Nisha IVF Centre, commented, “Women with low ovarian reserve often feel hopeless when it comes to their fertility. Our egg rejuvenation techniques are designed to improve the quality of the eggs, giving them a fresh opportunity for conception. We present a treatment solution for women who believed they had reached their final option through our specialized care and modern medical equipment.”</p>
<p>The Nisha IVF Centre has introduced PRP therapy as one of its primary treatment options. The advanced technique utilizes blood from the patient, which undergoes processing to obtain growth factors. The PRP gets injected into the ovaries to enhance egg production and boost egg quality. The method enables women with low ovarian reserve to achieve significant improvements in their ovarian function according to the study results.</p>
<p>The Nisha IVF Centre provides Ovarian Tissue Freezing services to women who want to keep their ability to have children. The procedure enables women to preserve their ovarian tissue which can be used later for re-implantation or egg retrieval purposes thus creating a helpful choice for women who expect to encounter future fertility problems or wish to postpone having children.</p>
<p>The combination of these techniques has already shown promising results which assist women with low ovarian reserve to achieve successful pregnancy through IVF treatment. The Nisha IVF Centre provides women who believed their fertility options were restricted with a second chance through its egg rejuvenation and ovarian function enhancement treatments.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel and his team at Nisha IVF Centre provide individual-centered methods for their fertility treatment services. The medical team creates individualized treatment strategies for every patient which are based on the patient’s medical background and their reproductive treatment expectations. The clinic’s high success rates in IVF and other fertility treatments demonstrate their medical expertise and advanced technological equipment and their dedication to treating patients with compassion.</p>
<p>Nisha IVF Centre provides women with low ovarian reserve fertility treatment through its advanced facilities and skilled personnel and modern medical methods. The clinic delivers comprehensive reproductive health services through its complete range of services which include IVF and egg freezing and sperm donation and male fertility treatments.</p>
<p>Dr. Nisarg Patel developed patient care methods which guarantee that all women will receive effective fertility treatments. Nisha IVF Centre will maintain its leadership position in Ahmedabad and other locations as it develops its egg rejuvenation methods which are part of its ongoing research.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-23-2-26-5.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Sparsh Children’s Hospital" decoding="async"></p><p><span data-sheets-root="1"><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 23:</strong> </span>Sparsh Children’s Hospital, a Pediatric Hospital in Parel, has started its medical operations under the guidance of Dr. Suresh Shah and Dr. Arpit Shah who serve as the hospital’s principal pediatric professionals.</p>
<p>The launch of Sparsh Children’s Hospital addresses a growing need for a specialized <a href="https://sparshchildrenshospital.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pediatric hospital in Parel</a> to cater to neonatal critical care facilities in Mumbai’s central belt, which has experienced rising urban density that results in increasing neonatal complications, pediatric infections and respiratory illnesses and emergency medical conditions in children.</p>
<p>The hospital provides dedicated medical services for infants and children and adolescents through its combination of advanced NICU and PICU facilities and evidence-based clinical protocols and experienced pediatric critical care specialists.</p>
<p>“Children are not just small adults. Their physiological characteristics and their disease patterns and their treatment responses show complete differences between children and adults,” said Dr. Suresh Shah who brings decades of experience in pediatrics neonatology and intensive care. “Our vision with Sparsh Children’s Hospital is to provide high-quality pediatric critical care that is both technologically advanced and deeply compassionate.”</p>
<p>Healthcare experts demonstrate that pediatric-trained intensivists and neonatologists must access patient treatment immediately to improve survival rates and long-term results for critically ill children. The medical conditions of prematurity neonatal sepsis, respiratory distress, severe infections and metabolic disorders need immediate treatment from pediatric specialists who have been trained to handle those specific conditions.</p>
<p>Sparsh Children’s Hospital has been developed to meet these needs through:</p>
<ul>
<li>The hospital includes a modern Neonatal Intensive Care Unit which provides essential services to both premature infants and newborns who require specialized medical care.</li>
<li>The hospital includes a complete Pediatric Intensive Care Unit which provides essential medical services to children who are critically ill.</li>
<li>The system includes monitoring technologies and ventilator equipment and protocols for controlling infections.</li>
<li>The hospital uses a comprehensive team system which includes pediatricians and intensivists and trained nurses and allied healthcare professionals.</li>
</ul>
<p>Dr. Arpit Shah who works as a Pediatric Critical Care Specialist believes that early medical treatment together with specific monitoring methods enables better chances of survival for children.</p>
<p>“The first hour of a pediatric emergency room visit establishes the trajectory of patient outcomes. The establishment of a 24-hour pediatric critical care team dedicated to their work results in better patient recovery and survival rates” according to his statement.</p>
<p>Sparsh Children’s Hospital provides exceptional medical service delivery while using its family-centered method which helps children recover because parents provide essential emotional support. The hospital system includes parents as partners who participate in care discussions and treatment planning and counseling sessions throughout the extended NICU and PICU stays of their children.</p>
<p>This approach matches international pediatric healthcare standards which require medical facilities to establish transparent communication methods and offer psychological support to families with critically ill children. Sparsh Children’s Hospital located in Parel provides specialized pediatric medical services to Central and South Mumbai families who need closer access to their home area. The hospital will achieve its goal of decreasing patient referrals and treatment delays through its dedication to early medical diagnosis and continuous patient observation and its use of research-based treatment methods.</p>
<p>Hospitals that provide only pediatric services better their medical results because their doctors possess specialized skills and their facilities are designed for children. The medical facility at Sparsh Children’s Hospital exists as a place which unites medical excellence with compassionate care to deliver customized healthcare solutions for every child.</p>
<p>Sparsh Children’s Hospital also plans to actively participate in clinical audits, continuous medical education, and protocol upgrades, keeping pace with evolving pediatric and neonatal care standards. The leadership team emphasizes that healthcare delivery must adapt continuously to new research and best practices.</p>
<p>“Our commitment goes beyond treatment. We aim to build trust with families and become a reliable pediatric healthcare partner for the community,” added Dr. Shah.</p>
<p>The opening of Sparsh Children’s Hospital in Mumbai establishes a major achievement for pediatric medical services in Mumbai which provides advanced critical care together with specialized medical expertise and a dedicated healthcare approach for the city’s most vulnerable patients.</p>

        <title>Top Crypto Presales at the End of February Include PEPA and APRZ, but the One That Could Make You Rich This Year With 100x Returns Is DeepSnitch AI</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-24-2-26-7-2.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Crypto"></p><p dir="ltr"><span><strong>New Delhi [India], February 24:</strong> </span>Crypto can make you rich. Really. There are numerous stories of people remembering bitcoins in a forgotten laptop, and finding out they could now pay their mortgage in full, and live comfortably for many years. What all these tales have in common is that the people involved bought their crypto at very low prices.</p>
<p dir="ltr">That’s why investors are constantly looking for the top crypto presales that could multiply their wealth. Coins are always cheap when you buy before they hit the markets.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Most of them won’t succeed, but a few can explode. <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=top-crypto-presales-pepa-aprz-but-deepsnitch-make-you-rich-100x-returns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a>, a coin that powers the most sophisticated AI application in crypto to this date, has all the attributes for a 100x explosion, or even more.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Dogecoin and big memes slide</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The crypto space has gotten complex and varied throughout the years. Now it is usual to distinguish between sectors: Layer-2, AI coins, DeFi, etc. One of the most popular of these segments is meme coins.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Most people know Dogecoin and how it spiked in price after Elon Musk invested. What not everyone knows is that between Nov. 28, 2020, and Oct. 28, 2021, another (dog-themed) meme coin, Shiba Inu, multiplied its price by 1,528,472x (you read that right, there’s no typo).</p>
<p dir="ltr">Naturally, many investors focus on meme coins. But as recently reported in CoinDesk, all big memes, from Dogecoin down, are sliding these days (the sole exception being MemeCore, more on this to come). That’s why many are looking instead for the top crypto presales among upcoming meme coins.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Most big meme coins have been sliding, with the sole exception of MemeCore. (Source: Coingecko).</p>
<p dir="ltr">In any case, the top crypto presales, meme or not, share certain characteristics that can be spotted early: solid implementation, strong alignment with what the market wants at the time, clear roadmap, etc.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The next section presents a few top presale crypto projects within the meme sector, beginning with the one that could make you truly rich.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Meme presales worth investing in right now</h2>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI (DSNT)</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Among the several factors that make DeepSnitch AI the leader among top crypto presales is a rare combination: being a meme coin with utility. This mix isn’t rare because there are just a few of these coins out there; there are many.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It is rare because very few can make it work. For example, MemeCore has successfully integrated its utility as a Layer-1 with a strong meme appeal, and that’s why it is outperforming all other memes these days, as shown above.</p>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI takes this to the next level. In a nutshell, the upcoming crypto is a system of five AI agents (which are all operational) that transform crypto data into investment intelligence.</p>
<p dir="ltr">While each agent performs a set of tasks, all of them work in unison as a sort of “brain ecosystem”. For instance, SnitchFeed can provide you with a list of trending coins, based on the latest ledger data, and AuditSnitch can then assess whether these coins are legit. And that’s just an example among many functionalities.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Each agent is impersonated by Snitch, a space superhero mouse that is already considered by many as the coolest meme character of 2026.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The result is an incredibly powerful AI tool with very strong cultural alignment. A tool that can radically improve investing for more than half a billion crypto holders around the world.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It’s no surprise that DeepSnitch AI’s presale has impressive numbers. In just 5 stages, more than $1.69 million has been raised, despite the still very low entry price of $0.04146, which creates a huge upside.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In addition, bonuses are given for investments of various sizes, beginning with a 30% bonus for a $2,000 DSNTs purchase that would instantly transform an 82x price increase into 100x returns.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But only those who buy at low prices by taking part in the <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=top-crypto-presales-pepa-aprz-but-deepsnitch-make-you-rich-100x-returns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">presale</a> now might end up very rich this year.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://youtu.be/E6RsfRzyfZU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/E6RsfRzyfZU </a></p>
<ol start="2">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">Pepepawn (PEPA)</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Pepepawn is among the top crypto presales in the meme sector. The basic concept is to work as a crypto pawn shop, while adopting the popular meme character Pepe the Frog. So far, the presale has raised almost $2.6 million, though in considerably more time than DeepSnitch AI.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For those who like memes, PEPA should be considered a very good option that could become a growth-stage token shortly after its launch, rapidly increasing in price.</p>
<ol start="3">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">Apemars (APRZ)</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Apemars is another meme coin that belongs to this month’s top crypto presales. In particular, it is a trending early-stage coin that has raised $241,607 so far.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Unlike DeepSnitch AI, MemeCore, or Pepepawn to a certain extent, Apemars has no utility beyond being a cool investment asset (in other words, it is a pure meme). Using an Ape as a meme character is original, since most known memes are dogs or frogs, and meme enthusiasts are always looking for something different.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Top crypto presales among upcoming memes include Pepepawn and Apemars. But the one that has the true 100x explosive potential is DeepSnitch AI.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But only those who invest now in the presale and take advantage of the bonuses (30% code: DSNTVIP30, 50% code: DSNTVIP50, 150% code: DSNTVIP150, 300% code: DSNTVIP300), can become rich this year.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">How advanced is DeepSnitch AI’s product development stage?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">It is unusually advanced for a presale. The system is operational inside a closed ecosystem, and is ready to be tested by presale holders. Another reason why it is the top crypto presale right now, and why you should invest today.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">How big is DeepSnitch AI’s adoption potential?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">It is the biggest among current presales, by far. Its highly sophisticated tool is very useful for hundreds of millions of people worldwide.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">How can DSNT’s price spike 100x?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The answer is, precisely, DeepSnitch AI’s huge adoption potential. It is estimated that with 1.4 million users, DSNT’s price would be around $4.5, which is more than 100x its current presale price.</p>

        <title>Best Crypto To Buy Now: Whales Are Pivoting to DeepSnitch AI Presale for 100x Potential, BTC and XRP Fall Victim to Declines</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/best-crypto-to-buy-now-whales-are-pivoting-to-deepsnitch-ai-presale-for-100x-potential-btc-and-xrp-fall-victim-to-declines</link>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-24-2-26-7.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt=""></p><p dir="ltr"><span><strong>New Delhi [India], February 24:</strong> </span>Rate, an established US mortgage lender, launched a nationwide program that allows qualified borrowers use crypto assets to meet underwriting requirements without needing to liquidate their holdings.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A solid sign of crypto’s expansion, the news didn’t do much to reverse the bearish trend.</p>
<p dir="ltr">However, as majors continue losing their shine, crypto projects such as <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-to-buy-now-whales-are-pivoting-to-deepsnitch-ai-presale-for-100x-potential-btc-and-xrp-fall-victim-to-monday-declines" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> are growing in popularity and are being hailed as the best crypto to buy now.</p>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI raised $1.70M, and in addition to inspiring 100x community projections, it’s also a powerful AI project that provides a retail-centric analytics suite powered by AI agent tech.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">A mortgage program that recognizes digital assets just dropped</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Rate, a US mortgage lender, <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/us-lender-rate-unveils-mortgage-program-recognizing-crypto-holdings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">launched RateFi</a>. This nationwide program lets qualified borrowers use verified crypto holdings to meet underwriting requirements without selling assets.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The product fits within Rate’s non-qualified mortgage framework, counting crypto as reserves or (in some cases) income for qualification.</p>
<p dir="ltr">According to Kate Amor, EVP and head of enterprise products at the company, RateFi uses a proprietary valuation model that considers various factors such as market price, liquidity, and volatility to assess holdings. This allows certain crypto to count toward borrower eligibility without liquidation, while applying standard mortgage risk rules.</p>
<p dir="ltr">RateFi supports a curated set of high-liquidity large-cap cryptocurrencies and major USD stablecoins (specific assets have not been named).</p>
<p dir="ltr">However, down payments or closing costs will still require cash conversion.</p>
<p dir="ltr">While crypto expands into the mainstream, assets such as BTC continue declining, leading to many traders looking for the best crypto to buy now to buck the trend.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Top strong momentum coins in 2026</h2>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI: Is $DSNT one of the best crypto investment opportunities right now?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">With the market doing its usual “start of the week” nosedive, there’s a high demand for breakout altcoins that could buck the short-term trend. However, while some majors are gearing up for recovery rallies, the true high upside play in 2026 is early-stage ICOs.</p>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI, for instance, not only presents a safe haven for your hard-earned cash due to its presale status, but it’s also highlighted as the best crypto to buy now if you’re aiming for 100x gains.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The $1.7M raised amid the downturn proves that the conviction is certainly there, and the hype generated by the preview of its dashboard is a testament that most of the community is in the project for the long haul.</p>
<p dir="ltr">So, what’s DeepSnitch AI all about?</p>
<p dir="ltr">In short, it’s a prediction and analytics suite powered by AI and built with the retail trader in mind. It combines the abilities of five AI agents in a single suite and presents a simple interface from which you can access all the essential tools needed to survive bear markets and high-octane bull runs.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Case in point, the main window consists of a variety of analytics services. One allows you to track social sentiment and FUD, the other can find hidden gens on your behalf and identify rug pulls.</p>
<p>There’s also an LLM DYOR tool that makes the process of researching a token nothing short of a breeze. Past the CA and boom: you’ll know if the token in question is a hard pass or if it has any legs.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-to-buy-now-whales-are-pivoting-to-deepsnitch-ai-presale-for-100x-potential-btc-and-xrp-fall-victim-to-monday-declines" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> is also the best crypto to buy now for outsized gains, as the entry of $0.04146 is super affordable and the latest bonus codes allow you to get a bunch of extra tokens on larger allocations (up to $90K in bonus value).</p>
<p dir="ltr"></p>
<ol start="2">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">Bitcoin: Is BTC worth getting into now?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">On February 23, BTC lost the $65K and settled around $64K, according to CoinMarketCap.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Despite this drop, Bitcoin remains a viable candidate for the best crypto to buy now. After all, the price is expected to recover at some point, with the only question being when.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In the short term, the 20-day <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/price-predictions-2-23-spx-dxy-btc-eth-xrp-bnb-sol-doge-bch-ada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EMA at $70K</a> represents a major hurdle for any recovery attempts. Yet, closing above would signal the demand is there and allow buyers to target $74K.</p>
<p dir="ltr">However, if the market rejects the 20-day EMA surge, then Bitcoin is on its way to $60K, and if the sell-offs extend, the drop to $52K is likely, which is a solid entry point.</p>
<ol start="3">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">XRP: Will XRP rally any time soon?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">According to CoinMarketCap, XRP traded in the $1.34 zone on February 23.</p>
<p dir="ltr">While Bitcoin is the gold standard and DeepSnitch AI presents an early opportunity, XRP is an affordable major coin that is currently trading under the <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/price-predictions-2-23-spx-dxy-btc-eth-xrp-bnb-sol-doge-bch-ada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">20-day EMA at $1.47</a>. Thus, if you’re looking for a discount on an established asset, XRP could be the best crypto to buy now.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Bears are expected to remain in control, and if buyers don’t step in, XRP could decline to as low as $1.11, followed by $1.</p>
<p>On the other hand, if a push to the downtrend line materializes, the trend could shift and lead to outsized gains.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Final words: Make yourself the winner</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Monday ushered in a new wave of FUD, limiting the number of successful plays. Thus, presales seem like the “safest” bets until the bear market dies.</p>
<p>DeepSnitch AI is resilient against these swings, evidenced by its consistent trajectory that got the project to a commendable figure of $1.70M. On top of that, the 100x are becoming commonplace in the community, and the recent dashboard sneak peek only strengthened investor resolve.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It’s also worth pointing out that DeepSnitch AI is the best crypto to buy now, as you can pretty much get tokens “for free”. For instance, investing $5K+ makes you eligible for the DSNTVIP50 code, which unlocks 50% extra DSNT tokens. If you’re ready to go all in, you can also apply the DSNTVIP300 for a 300% bonus on $30K+ investments, which is approximately $90K in value.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Make yourself the winner and dive deep into the <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-to-buy-now-whales-are-pivoting-to-deepsnitch-ai-presale-for-100x-potential-btc-and-xrp-fall-victim-to-monday-declines" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> presale.

Through relentless dedication, artistic discipline, and deep respect for tradition, he continues to carry forward a legacy that connects generations to India’s rich cultural roots.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 14.0pt 0in 14.0pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">A beloved disciple of <b>Nadoja Belagallu Veeranna</b>, one of Karnataka’s most revered puppetry legends, Dr. Surendra Swami has grown under the guidance and blessings of his guru and his son <b>Sri Belagallu Prakash</b>. Walking firmly on the artistic path laid down by his mentors, he has emerged as a powerful torchbearer of <b>Thogalugombe (shadow puppetry)</b> and folk theatre.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 14.0pt 0in 14.0pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">One of the most defining moments of his career was being selected as part of <b>Nadoja Belagallu Veeranna’s troupe</b> by the <b>Sangeet Natak Akademi, New Delhi</b>, to represent <b>India at the first-ever International Puppet Festival in Myanmar (Yangon)</b>. Performing alongside his gurus on a global platform remains one of his proudest achievements. Over the years, he has presented <b>hundreds of performances across India</b> at national and state-level festivals, leaving a lasting impression on audiences and cultural institutions alike.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 14.0pt 0in 14.0pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Born in the small village of <b>Bevinahalli in Koppal district</b>, a region known for its ancient Kannada heritage, Dr. Surendra Swami’s life story is one of perseverance against extreme hardship. He was born as a twin to <b>Sanna Mallaiah and Lalithamma</b>, into a <b>Jangam family</b> that struggled with severe poverty. His grandfather and father survived through ritual-based livelihoods, often begging for grain to make ends meet. Yet, amidst adversity, spirituality, tradition, and art shaped the foundation of his life.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 14.0pt 0in 14.0pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Despite financial hardships and displacement caused by drought, he completed his early education through government schools in Ballari and Sandur. He pursued higher education with determination, graduating with <b>First Class from Sri Gavisiddeshwar College, Koppal</b>. The untimely death of his father during his studies forced him to pause his education and shoulder family responsibilities. However, his commitment to learning never faded.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 14.0pt 0in 14.0pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">He later completed his <b>Master’s degree from Manasagangothri, Mysore</b>, and pursued advanced research at <b>Kannada University</b>, where he presented a thesis on <i>“Use of Kannada Language in Administration – Problems and Challenges”</i> under the guidance of <b>Dr. Ashoka Kumar Ranjere</b>. In recognition of his academic contribution, he was conferred an <b>honorary doctorate</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

His grandfather hailed from the <b>Bayalata (open theatre)</b> tradition, his grandmother actively participated in the freedom struggle against the Razakars, and his father was a Bayalata story coordinator. Growing up in this environment, Dr. Surendra Swami naturally gravitated toward theatre, poetry, folk arts, and performance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 14.0pt 0in 14.0pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Over the years, he has acted in <b>83 plays</b>, performing a wide range of roles. Bellary theatre served as the foundation of his artistic journey, where he worked extensively with the <b>Rangathorana Theatre Group</b> for nearly eight years. His learning deepened under the mentorship of <b>Nadoja Sri Belagallu Veeranna</b>, founder of <b>Sri Ramanjina Thogalugombe Mela Trust</b>, and later through the continuous support of <b>Sri Prakash Belagallu</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

He has also taken puppetry to <b>government schools in Bevinahalli</b>, teaching children through live demonstrations and extracurricular programs—keeping the art alive at the grassroots level.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 14.0pt 0in 14.0pt 0in;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">As a theatre and puppet artist, he has been actively associated with renowned cultural institutions such as <b>Rangathorana Bellary, Sri Ramanjina Thogalugombe Mela Trust, Mahadeva Cultural Art Trust, Rangasiri Bellary</b>, and <b>Sri Basaveshwara Bayalata Trust</b>. His contributions span acting, storytelling, stage design, and mentorship, earning him recognition and felicitation from numerous organisations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

        <title>Shilpi Saxena Bhatnagar: Building Foundations for a Better Tomorrow Through Neev Coaching Academy</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/shilpi-saxena-bhatnagar-building-foundations-for-a-better-tomorrow-through-neev-coaching-academy</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/shilpi-saxena-bhatnagar-building-foundations-for-a-better-tomorrow-through-neev-coaching-academy</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">In a world where education is often reduced to marks and competition, Shilpi Saxena Bhatnagar stands out as an educator who believes in building strong foundations—not just academically, but emotionally and ethically. Founder of <b>Neev Coaching Academy (NCA) – Foundation for a Better Tomorrow</b>, her journey is a testament to resilience, adaptability, and the quiet power of purpose-driven teaching.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">An MBA, dual graduate and dual postgraduate, Diploma holder in Software Engineering, CTET-qualified with 96% in her first attempt, and an aspiring doctoral scholar, Shilpi’s academic credentials are impressive. Yet, her true strength lies in her lived experiences—shaped by middle-class realities, personal setbacks, and an unwavering belief in financial independence long before it became a societal buzzword.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Born into a middle-class family with a businessman father and a government-employed mother, Shilpi grew up understanding the delicate balance between dreams and budgets. Her journey into teaching began nearly two decades ago, not as a passion but as a necessity. While awaiting her Class 12 results, she followed her mother’s suggestion and began taking home tuitions for neighbourhood children. Earning ₹3,000 a month for three students felt empowering—it was her first taste of independence. That small step unknowingly laid the foundation for what would one day become her own academy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Shilpi went on to build a diverse corporate career with organisations like BigShoeBazaar.com, MapMyIndia, Amadeus India Pvt. Ltd., Matrix Cellular, Serco, and NIIT Ltd. Each role enriched her understanding of people, systems, and adaptability—skills that would later redefine her approach to education.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Her return to tutoring came after motherhood. Unable to remain idle and driven by self-reliance, she resumed home tuitions while caring for her infant son. Managing travel, teaching, and parenting was demanding, but she persevered. Then came COVID-19—a turning point that transformed challenges into opportunities. Swiftly adapting to online education, she tripled her income and discovered a renewed sense of purpose.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">The most defining phase of her life followed soon after. On 31st January 2022, her mother retired. The next day, she fell victim to an online fraud, losing ₹7.5 lakh—her lifetime savings. Witnessing her mother’s emotional breakdown pushed Shilpi into depression. Seeking healing through purpose, she joined a private institute as a Senior Maths Faculty.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">What followed was transformation. She invested heavily in upgrading her teaching methodology, mastering batch teaching, and revisiting pedagogy for Maths and Science. She cleared CTET, acquired international certifications for IB and IGCSE boards, and embraced the responsibility of being what many students today see as their last academic hope.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Her results spoke volumes. Handling 35 students across multiple batches, she introduced rigorous practice sessions, including late-night guided problem-solving—without charging extra. For Shilpi, Maths was never about memorisation; it was about clarity, consistency, and confidence. Over the last three years, her students have consistently achieved <b>average results above 95%</b>, earning her the trust of parents and the admiration of learners.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Gradually, her role evolved from tutor to mentor. Students confided their fears, parents sought her counsel, and academic guidance expanded into career mentoring and emotional support. Phrases like <i>“Ma’am, aapki baat maan lega”</i> became her greatest reward.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">When professional circumstances turned unfavourable at her institute last year, Shilpi chose dignity over compromise. What followed was extraordinary—parents and students stood by her and urged her to start independently. Within a week, <b>Neev Coaching Academy</b> was born, not as a business, but as a calling.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Behind her success stands a strong support system—her husband Ravish, mentor and pillar of strength; her three mothers-in-law who ensured her son was cared for; and her son Hreyansh, whose quiet maturity fuels her determination.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Today, Neev Coaching Academy is more than an institute. It is a space where concepts are clarified, confidence is nurtured, and futures are shaped. For Shilpi Saxena Bhatnagar, this is not the destination—<b>it is just the beginning of a journey to help students walk confidently toward success.</b><o:p></o:p></span></p> ]]></description>

        <title>LRP Captivators: Building a Dependable Future in Electronics Repair and Refurbishment</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/lrp-captivators-building-a-dependable-future-in-electronics-repair-and-refurbishment</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/lrp-captivators-building-a-dependable-future-in-electronics-repair-and-refurbishment</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p>Every enduring organization begins with a clear belief. For <strong>LRP Captivators</strong>, that belief was simple yet powerful—that after-sales service in the electronics industry could be faster, more reliable, and more transparent without compromising on quality. At a time when delayed repairs and inconsistent service were considered the norm, LRP Captivators set out to change expectations.</p>
<p>Founded in <strong>July 2019 by Lokesh Kirar</strong>, LRP Captivators began its journey with a focused team of just <strong>50 professionals</strong>. From the outset, the leadership emphasis was not on aggressive expansion but on building strong systems, investing in skilled people, and earning customer trust through consistent performance. The company’s early work in <strong>mobile handset repairs</strong> laid the foundation for a culture rooted in discipline, accountability, and continuous improvement.</p>
<p>Reflecting on the early phase, Founder <strong>Lokesh Kirar</strong> shares,<br>
<em>“We didn’t start LRP to be the biggest repair organization. We started it to be the most dependable one. Growth was never the goal by itself—trust was. Everything else followed.”</em></p>
<p>Instead of chasing rapid scale, LRP focused on strengthening its technical depth. This approach led to a major milestone with the expansion into <strong>advanced PCBA Level-4 on-site repairs</strong>, enabling the company to handle complex board-level diagnostics and high-precision repairs. This capability positioned LRP Captivators as a technically mature and dependable partner for managing high-value electronic components.</p>
<p>The company’s commitment to quality soon gained industry recognition. In <strong>2020</strong>, LRP was entrusted with <strong>repaired product quality validation for a global consumer electronics brand</strong>, reinforcing its reputation for compliance, consistency, and high repair standards. For the leadership team, this milestone validated a long-term strategy that placed reliability before volume and excellence before speed.</p>
<p>At the heart of LRP’s operational strength is its <strong>state-of-the-art 15,000 sq. ft. repair and refurbishment facility in Noida</strong>, designed to balance scale with precision. The facility has the capacity to process up to <strong>5 lakh units per month</strong> and is powered by nearly <strong>450 trained diploma engineers</strong>. For Lokesh Kirar, people remain the cornerstone of operational excellence, supported by robust infrastructure.</p>
<p>The facility features <strong>ESD-compliant workstations, fully air-conditioned repair environments, industry-grade equipment</strong>, and a secure ecosystem monitored by <strong>100 CCTV cameras</strong>, ensuring quality control, safety, and accountability at every stage of the repair lifecycle.</p>
<p>As operations expanded, so did the organization. From its original 50-member team, LRP Captivators has grown into a workforce of nearly <strong>600 professionals</strong>, extending its service presence across multiple metro cities and strengthening its <strong>pan-India operational footprint</strong>.</p>
<p>The year <strong>2023</strong> marked a defining chapter in LRP’s journey. The company became the <strong>exclusive repair partner for digital entertainment devices in North India</strong>, managing large-scale refurbishment programs that demanded speed, consistency, and operational discipline.</p>
<p>In <strong>August 2023</strong>, LRP entered the <strong>banking and fintech ecosystem</strong>, expanding into the repair of <strong>POS machines and sound boxes</strong>—devices that power millions of daily digital transactions. The responsibility was immense, but LRP delivered. Soon after, the company partnered with a leading digital payments platform and achieved a landmark milestone by refurbishing <strong>1.5 lakh payment devices in just four months</strong>, demonstrating its scalability and execution excellence.</p>
<p>Today, <strong>LRP Captivators</strong>, under the leadership of <strong>Lokesh Kirar</strong>, stands as more than a repair organization. It has evolved into a dependable service institution built on <strong>trust, people, and purpose</strong>, consistently raising benchmarks across the electronics, banking, and fintech service ecosystem.</p>
<p><strong>The Road Ahead: Vision for the Next 3–5 Years</strong></p>
<p>Looking forward, Lokesh Kirar envisions LRP Captivators emerging as a <strong>center of excellence for electronic lifecycle management</strong>. Over the next three to five years, the company aims to deepen its footprint across <strong>banking, fintech, and consumer electronics</strong>, while expanding into adjacent high-value electronic categories.</p>
<p>The focus will remain on <strong>capability building</strong>—investing in advanced diagnostics, automation, and data-driven quality systems to further improve turnaround time and repair accuracy. Equally important is strengthening LRP’s <strong>people-first culture</strong>, with structured skill development programs aligned with rapidly evolving technologies.</p>
<p>Sustainability forms a key pillar of LRP’s future roadmap. By scaling refurbishment operations and extending product lifecycles, the company actively supports <strong>e-waste reduction and circular economy practices</strong>, aligning business growth with environmental responsibility.</p>
<p>Summing up the vision ahead, Lokesh Kirar notes,<br>
<em>“The next phase of our journey is not just about repairing more devices, but about building systems that set new standards for reliability, responsibility, and long-term value.”</em></p>
<p>With a clear vision, disciplined execution, and strong leadership, <strong>LRP Captivators is poised to shape the future of electronics repair and refurbishment in India—one dependable solution at a time.</strong></p> ]]></description>

        <title>Reena Mukherjee &amp;70: Cooking Sustainability Through Heritage</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/reena-mukherjee-70-cooking-sustainability-through-heritage</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/reena-mukherjee-70-cooking-sustainability-through-heritage</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><span>At an age when many are content to slow down, Reena Mukherjee chose to begin again. Based in New Delhi, the former HR professional from NTPC Ltd. transformed her post-retirement years into a deeply purposeful culinary journey—one that has since positioned her as a compelling voice in India’s sustainable, heritage-driven food movement.</span></p>
<p><span>Reena’s formal entry into the culinary world came in 2018, when she stepped into competitive cooking. Her intuitive understanding of traditional Indian cuisine quickly earned recognition. That year, she won the Delhi/NCR Regional Cooking Competition, followed by a National Culinary Contest focused on Indian celebratory food traditions. Organised by the NGO Let’s Give Back and judged by eminent chefs Manjit Gill and Rakesh Sethi, the accolades marked a decisive turning point. As Reena often remarks, there was “no looking back.”</span></p>
<p><span>What followed was a sustained immersion into India’s vast and layered food heritage. Reena began researching regional cuisines, ancestral cooking methods, and forgotten recipes that once formed the backbone of everyday Indian meals. Over time, she emerged as a respected figure within culinary circles, admired not only for her skill but for her belief that traditional Indian food systems are, by design, environmentally sustainable.</span></p>
<p><span>For several years, Reena has served as Chief Coordinator of the National Cookery Contest organised by Let’s Give Back. The initiative focuses on reviving lost and lesser-known recipes from across the country. Her role involves travelling extensively, coordinating events, working closely with participants, and serving on jury panels. She has also been instrumental as editor of the contest’s recipe compilations, ensuring these rare culinary traditions are documented and preserved for future generations.</span></p>
<p><span>At the heart of Reena’s advocacy lies her deep engagement with Bengali cuisine, which she describes as a living model of sustainable food practice. Traditional techniques such as shukto, bhaja, jhol, fermentation, and sun-drying prioritise whole-ingredient use and ecological balance. The cuisine is predominantly plantforward, with animal proteins used sparingly and thoughtfully. Through these principles, Reena challenges extractive eating habits and promotes a diet that is both nutritionally rich and environmentally restrained.</span></p>
<p><span>She brings this philosophy to life through intimate home pop-ups centred on traditional Bengali food, as well as collaborations with restaurants. These are not merely dining experiences but curated lessons in culinary wisdom. A simple bottle gourd, for instance, may appear in multiple forms—its flesh as the main dish, complemented by preparations using the peel, tender stems, or leaves— demonstrating how earlier generations maximised nourishment while wasting nothing. </span></p>
<p><span>Through such meals, dining becomes an act of ecological awareness. Guests leave not only satisfied, but enlightened, carrying with them a renewed respect for the intelligence embedded in traditional cooking. In Reena Mukherjee’s kitchen, cooking is far more than sustenance. It is environmental communication, cultural continuity, and quiet resistance. By reintroducing Bengal’s culinary wisdom into contemporary spaces, she invites us to view sustainability not as a trend or compromise, but as an inherited responsibility—one that continues to nourish both people and the planet.</span></p> ]]></description>

        <title>Navrachana University Hosts AI DAY 2026 to Promote Practical Understanding of Artificial Intelligence</title>

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/navrachana-university-hosts-ai-day-2026-to-promote-practical-understanding-of-artificial-intelligence</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-24-2-26-2-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt=""></p><div>

<p dir="ltr"><em>Navrachana University hosts AI Day 2026 to foster practical understanding of Artificial Intelligence</em></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span><strong>Vadodara (Gujarat) [India], February 24:</strong> </span>At a time when Artificial Intelligence is being discussed at the highest national forums, Navrachana University’s Centre for Interdisciplinary Computing Science (CICS), in collaboration with AtliQ Technologies, hosted AI DAY 2026 — a full-day initiative aimed at fostering practical understanding and informed adoption of AI. The event, themed AI Beyond Theory, focused on separating measurable value from hype and encouraging clarity-led implementation.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Held from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM at the Navrachana University campus, the event witnessed participation from more than 200 founders, business owners, technology leaders, engineers, analysts, and students. Rather than limiting the engagement to tool demonstrations, the sessions addressed critical implementation questions — where AI delivers measurable impact, where automation suffices, how organisations should assess return on investment, and how to avoid unnecessary complexity.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The keynote sessions were conducted in association with AtliQ Technologies and Codebasics. Dhaval Patel, co-founder of Codebasics and a widely followed data and AI educator with over 1.4 million subscribers on YouTube, led the sessions. Emphasising clarity over complexity, he highlighted that sustainable AI adoption begins with foundational understanding and structured thinking rather than pursuing advanced tools without context. The sessions focused on practical use cases, structured decision-making frameworks, and measurable outcome-oriented implementation approaches.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Prof. Sandeep Vasant, Director, Centre for Interdisciplinary Computing Science (CICS), said – “There is often discussion about a technology gap, but equally important is the human gap — the ability and willingness to adapt. While AI is augmenting human capabilities, the human-in-the-loop will always remain pivotal. Those who choose not to engage with it meaningfully may find themselves left behind. History offers perspective — when computers were first introduced, similar concerns were raised about replacement. Instead, humans became integral to their effective use. Artificial Intelligence may reshape certain roles or reduce routine tasks, but it cannot replace human contribution when individuals are equipped and prepared to integrate it thoughtfully. Ultimately, AI will reward those who adapt alongside it.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">Throughout the day, discussions progressed from applied AI scenarios and implementation misconceptions to cost-versus-benefit assessments and models for long-term integration. Emphasis was laid on bridging both technological and human readiness gaps, ensuring that adoption strengthens rather than replaces human judgment.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>About the Centre for Interdisciplinary Computing Science (CICS)</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">Established to promote interdisciplinary computing research and applied innovation, CICS serves as Navrachana University’s dedicated platform for advancing emerging technologies through industry engagement and practical implementation. The Centre focuses on bridging engineering, analytics, and business domains to deliver scalable and socially relevant technology solutions.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Among its notable initiatives is Alg AI, a project oriented toward real-world artificial intelligence applications and implementation models. Through structured research, collaboration, and industry integration, CICS aims to strengthen India’s evolving technology ecosystem by preparing professionals who can translate advanced computing concepts into measurable outcomes.</p>

Bharwani (Founder & Chairman Emiretus) in celebrating a vision deeply rooted in learning, character building, and national development. Through Lucky You, Jetking extends its philosophy beyond technical training, offering young readers practical life lessons drawn from entrepreneurship, personal challenges, and decades of experience in skill development.</p>
<p>Distinguished guests who graced the occasion included Shakeela Kassam, Counsellor at the High Commission of Kenya; Vivek Agarwal, Founder of Liqvid; Yogesh Sood, Founder of BYLD; Shikha Mehra from the blockchain and Bitcoin ecosystem; Sekharendu Gupta of Vedanta Cultural Foundation; Govind Sharma, Founder of SkillUp Online; and Prof. Himanshu Arora from the University of Delhi. Their presence underscored the relevance of Jetking’s initiatives across industries and geographies.</p>
<p>Addressing the audience, Shri Suresh G. Bharwani emphasized that Lucky You is not merely a book but a movement aligned with Jetking’s larger purpose — to guide youth toward clarity, discipline, and self-belief. He highlighted that success is often attributed to luck, whereas it is in fact the outcome of the right mindset, continuous learning, resilience, and decisive action. Through relatable narratives and reflective exercises, the book encourages young readers to identify opportunities within challenges and take ownership of their growth journey.</p>
<p>A defining moment of the event was the reaffirmation of Jetking’s mission, “Vidya Danam Param Danam” — knowledge is the highest form of giving. Through this initiative, Jetking aims to expand access to education, life skills, and value-based learning, particularly for students from underserved communities. The mission reinforces Jetking’s belief that skill development combined with character formation creates confident, self-reliant, and employable youth.</p>
<p>The scale of participation highlighted Jetking’s widespread impact. More than 800 students, over 80 leading recruiters, and numerous academic and franchise partners attended the event, making it a powerful convergence of education, employability, and aspiration. The presence of recruiters further strengthened Jetking’s focus on bridging the gap between learning and industry requirements.</p>
<p>The event concluded with renewed enthusiasm among students and partners, reaffirming Jetking’s enduring commitment to nation-building through skill development and thought leadership. With Lucky You, Jetking once again extends an invitation to India’s youth — to reflect deeply, learn continuously, and create their own path to meaningful success.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-24-2-26-1-2.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="India International Motor Show 2026" decoding="async"></p><p><strong><span data-sheets-root="1">Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 24:</span> </strong>India’s automotive sector is set to witness the launch of IIMS, a new large scale industry platform with the announcement of the India International Motor Show 2026. The first edition of the show will be held from 24<sup>th</sup> to 26<sup>th</sup> April 2026 at the CIDCO Exhibition & Convention Centre.</p>
<p>IIMS is being organised by the Percept Group in alignment with leading Automotive industry Associations.</p>
<p>Positioned as a comprehensive B2B and B2C platform, the India International Motor Show is designed to bring the entire motor vehicle ecosystem under one roof. The show will span passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, electric and hybrid mobility, auto components, accessories, auto care, aftermarket solutions, service technologies, and allied mobility services.</p>
<p>IIMS 2026 is being structured as a business focused industry marketplace supported by large scale consumer engagement. Over three days, the event will host OEM unveilings, future mobility showcases, Tier 1 sourcing zones, curated B2B matchmaking, investor interactions, and live demonstrations. The platform is expected to attract OEMs, suppliers, technology firms, start ups, MSMEs, fleet operators, investors, policy makers, and consumers from across India and overseas.</p>
<p>Designed to international exhibition standards, IIMS 2026 will comprise a multi layered format. A large-scale exhibition will showcase new vehicle launches, advanced technologies, mechanisms, and fixtures. A structured knowledge conference will bring together policy makers, global experts, and industry leaders to discuss localisation, supply chain resilience, clean energy transition, connected mobility, cyber security, and India’s expanding role in global automotive manufacturing.</p>
<p>The programme will also include focused workshops and master classes on electric mobility adoption, sustainability, digital transformation, service technologies, and aftermarket growth. Structured B2B meetings will enable direct engagement between buyers, sellers, manufacturers, suppliers, and investors. For consumers and enthusiasts, the show will feature live test drive tracks, EV charging demonstrations, and interactive product studios offering first hand experience of emerging mobility solutions.</p>
<p>The Industry support for IIMS 2026 reflects broad sector endorsement. Supporting associations include India Economic Development Association, SME Chamber of India, Mumbai Bus Malak Sanghatana, Federation of Tourist Taxi Operators, Indian Tourist Transporters Association,</p>
<p>Global Chamber Goa, Society for Smart e Mobility, India Chamber of International Business, and All India Association of Industries.</p>
<p>Senior industry leaders supporting the initiative include Aarti Neemkar, President, IEDA, Deepak Naik, President, MBMS, Malik Patel, President, FOTTO, Mohan Goyal, Zonal Chairman, ITTA, Manpreet Singh, President, ICIB, Vijay Kalantri, President, AIAI, and Chandrakant Salunke, Chairman, SME Chamber of India.</p>
<p>Navi Mumbai has been selected as the host city in view of its rapid emergence as a major commercial and infrastructure node. The newly opened Navi Mumbai International Airport, CIDCO’s mobility upgrades, and expanding last mile connectivity provide the scale and access required for an exhibition of this magnitude. The location also addresses a long standing gap for a world class automotive platform in Western India.</p>
<p>“India International Motor Show 2026 is conceived as a definitive convergence point for the mobility ecosystem, where innovation translates into real market opportunity,” said Vidya Alva, Chief Operating Officer, Percept ICE. “Western India has long lacked a world-class automotive platform, and we at Percept recognised this gap early. With our proven expertise in creating high-impact automotive experiences and industry IPs, we are excited to anchor this showcase in Navi Mumbai. Backed by the city’s rapidly advancing infrastructure and a sharp programme of launches, dialogues and live tech demonstrations, IIMS 2026 will ignite new collaborations, accelerate growth, and establish a powerful new hub for future mobility in India.”</p>
<p>Said Tejinder Singh, Project Director & GM, Percept ICE, “IIMS 2026 will be a business-first motor show, blending curated trade programming with spectacular brand experiences. With Percept’s event capabilities and CIDCO’s infrastructural vision, this edition will set a new benchmark for automotive exhibitions in India.”</p>
<p>“Navi Mumbai offers the scale and strategic access that the automotive industry needs now – a connected gateway to Mumbai and to rapidly expanding markets across western and southern India,” said Anuj Wadhwa, CEO, Cidco Exhibition Centre. “Our infrastructure priorities are aligned to support world-class exhibitions such as IIMS and to create meaningful economic impact for the region.”</p>
<p>“IIMS 2026 marks a timely and much-needed step in unifying India’s fast-evolving automotive ecosystem,” said Aarti Neemkar, President India Economic Development Association (IEDA). “For OEMs, suppliers, and technology leaders, this platform will serve as an accelerant, enabling deeper alignment, faster collaborations, and a clearer roadmap toward global competitiveness. The industry has long needed a common stage in Western India, and IIMS fills that gap with the right scale, intent, and industry focus.”</p>
<p>“India’s mobility transition demands a platform where cutting-edge EV, energy, and autonomous technologies can be experienced first-hand by both businesses and consumers,” noted V Senthil Kumar, President, The Society for Smart E-Mobility (SSEM).</p>
<p>“IIMS 2026 will deliver the opportunity with its innovation-led format, test-drive ecosystems, and technology showcases, this show will help accelerate adoption, attract investment, and spotlight India’s leadership in next-generation clean mobility.” Said Mohan Goyal, Zonal Chairman, India Tourist Transporters Association (ITTA).</p>
<p>“Locating IIMS 2026 in Navi Mumbai is a strategic milestone for the industry,” said Deepak Naik, Chairman, Mumbai Bus Malak Sanghatana (MBMS). “Mumbai has always been a critical market for mobility and investment, yet it lacked a world-class motor show and Navi Mumbai offers unmatched accessibility and capacity. This edition will finally give Western India the showcase it deserves and will draw global attention to the region’s automotive potential.”</p>
<p>With over four decades of shaping India’s automotive narrative, Percept Group has delivered high impact launches, dealer ecosystems, auto expos, and consumer engagement platforms for leading global and Indian automotive brands. This experience forms the foundation for the conceptualization, planning, designing and production of IIMS as a globally benchmarked automotive platform.</p>

This special artistic creation is currently on display at VR Surat until 28 February, where it has become a major attraction for visitors.</p>
<p>The Futuristic Tree, developed after nearly one month of dedicated effort by a team of around 10 students, conveys the concept that nature and technology are inseparably interconnected. The sculpture reflects the idea that technology is no longer separate from human life but has become an integral part of our ecosystem.</p>
<p>Inspired by the vision of “Future is Now,” the installation symbolizes the harmony between nature and modern innovation. Its design highlights the message that the future is not a distant imagination but a present reality, where technology plays a significant role in shaping our environment, lifestyle, and thought processes.</p>
<p>The project was developed under the guidance of faculty member Mr. Sameer Dave. The primary objective of this initiative was to encourage students to develop innovative thinking and express contemporary themes through artistic mediums. Visitors have widely appreciated this unique installation, describing it as a powerful and immersive visual experience. The sculpture invites citizens to explore the relationship between the future, nature, and technology from a fresh perspective.</p>
<p>In addition, IDT Surat has also organized special workshops during the Dumas Art Festival to promote art and traditional crafts. A Lippan Art Workshop was successfully conducted on 22 February, where participants learned the traditional mirror work art of Kutch. Furthermore, a Bandhej (Tie-and-Dye) Workshop is scheduled for 28 February, offering participants hands-on experience with this traditional textile technique.</p>

        <title>From the Hotel Industry to the Spotlight: Arjun Gujjar Inspiring Acting Debut</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-24-2-26-2.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Arjun Gujjar Inspiring Acting Debut"></p><div class="col-12 col-sm-3 col-lg-3 text-dot-right pr-sm-0"><label><strong>New Delhi [India], February 24:</strong> </label>For many dreamers, life doesn’t move in straight lines and Arjun Gujjar journey is the perfect example of that truth.</div>
<div class="col-12 col-sm-7 col-lg-7">
<p>From a young age, Arjun carried a deep passion for acting and dance. The stage, the camera, and the art of performing always pulled at his heart. Like countless artists across India, he dreamed of expressing himself through stories, movement, and emotion. But dreams often collide with reality and for Arjun, responsibility arrived early.</p>
<p>Choosing duty over desire, he stepped away from the creative world and entered the business space, eventually establishing himself in the hotel industry. Life grew stable. Responsibilities were met. Success followed.</p>
<p>But deep inside, Arjun often wondered, “Did I leave a part of myself behind?”</p>
<p>The artist within him remained alive quiet, patient, persistent.</p>
<p>And then, life offered him a second chance.</p>
<p>After years away from the limelight, Arjun landed the opportunity to act in the web series The Accidental Engineers. What followed surprised everyone even those who had only known him as a businessman. On screen, Arjun delivered a performance filled with honesty, control, and emotional depth, proving that true talent never disappears.</p>
<p>During the shoot, he often found himself thinking,</p>
<p>“This is where I belong. This is what my heart always wanted.”</p>
<p>His work in the series stood out not just because it was polished, but because it felt earned. There wasu sincerity in his expressions, confidence in his presence, and a maturity that only real-life experience can bring. Viewers and the team alike praised his dedication and natural screen appeal.</p>
<p>Arjun Gujjar story is not just about acting it’s about reconnecting with your true self, no matter how long it takes. His journey reminds us that dreams don’t die; they simply wait for the right moment to rise again.</p>
<p>With The Accidental Engineers, Arjun hasn’t just acted he has arrived. And if this performance is any indication, this is only the beginning of a powerful new chapter.</p>
<p>Sometimes, the best performances come from those who have lived life first and Arjun Gujjar is living proof.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-23-2-26-3.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Agilemania" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], February 23:</strong> As more organizations adopt both Agile methods and AI to support decision-making, they need professionals who can work effectively in both areas. Unfortunately, there has been limited access to high-quality AI-enabled Agile training due to the high cost of certification and the lack of practical training aligned with industry standards.</p>
<p>To fill this gap, Agilemania has launched a series of AI-enabled Agile training courses that help professionals grow their skills and prepare for real-world situations. All these programs are led by a group of top-notch trainers with more than 30 years of experience each in the Agile and Tech industries, and combine valuable insights from these trainers with a hands-on learning experience by having students put into practice what they learned during the session.</p>
<p>The organization has introduced <a href="https://agilemania.com/bionic-workforce-training" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AI-Enabled Agile Courses</a> at a low cost of<strong> </strong>₹2,500 to provide all students, early-career professionals, and teams in small or growing organizations with access to advanced skill sets.</p>
<h2>Removing the Cost Barrier in the Field of Agile and Artificial Intelligence</h2>
<p>Agilemania has become a leader in the Agile upskilling space by developing a strong learning philosophy based on value and impact—not price. Whereas most competitors in the industry rely on high-priced certifications, Agilemania is focused on what really matters: practical experience, industry relevance, and long-term growth potential.</p>
<p>Through the introduction of its AI-Enabled Agile Courses, Agilemania will set a new industry standard by providing high-quality, practitioner-led courses at a low price of ₹2,500 while maintaining both the depth and quality of its programs. The design of these programs enables learners to put into practice the concepts of AI and Agile, moving beyond simple theoretical learning, and allows students to use these concepts to solve actual problems within their jobs.</p>
<p>Agilemania does not use price as a differentiating factor; instead, the company emphasizes access to the courses, the ability to use the information presented in the courses to improve students’ jobs, and the outcomes/results of completing each course.</p>
<p><strong>Agilemania Course Offerings: Where AI Meets Agile Execution</strong></p>
<p>Agilemania has introduced a range of AI courses for various Agile roles, including Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Product Managers, and Prompt Engineers.<strong> </strong>These programs focus on the practical application of AI across facilitation, decision-making, product discovery, prioritization, and product strategy.</p>
<p>Currently, <a href="https://agilemania.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Agilemania</a> offers over 15 live AI-enabled Agile courses, with several more under development. The AI-enabled offerings are continually evolving and currently represent only a small portion of the overall AI-enabled learning ecosystem.</p>

        <title>Architect of Water Transversality Honoured at World Water Leadership Congress</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/architect-of-water-transversality-honoured-at-world-water-leadership-congress</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/architect-of-water-transversality-honoured-at-world-water-leadership-congress</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-68.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Architect of Water Transversality Honoured at World Water Leadership Congress-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 24: </strong>The India Water Foundation (IWF) proudly announces that its President, Dr. Arvind Kumar, has been felicitated with the prestigious Leaders Award for Most Impactful Water Management Leader, certified by the World Federation of CSR Professionals. The honour was conferred at the World Water Leadership Congress & Awards, held under the theme “The Changing CSR Landscape: Sustainable for the Future” on 19 February 2026 at Taj Lands End, Mumbai.</p>
<p>The recognition celebrates Dr. Kumar’s decades-long leadership in advancing sustainable water governance, integrated resource management, and climate-resilient development pathways. Widely acknowledged as the pioneer who coined and operationalised the concept of Water Transversality, Dr. Kumar has consistently advocated a systems-based approach that positions water as the central connector across energy, health, environment, food systems, and socio-economic development.</p>
<p>During the high-level gathering of global experts, policymakers, and corporate leaders, Dr. Kumar delivered a compelling Leadership Talk titled “Deciphering the Ripple Effects of Climate Change on Water Resources.” His address underscored the growing urgency of rethinking water governance in the face of intensifying climate variability. He emphasised that climate change is no longer a distant environmental concern but a present and escalating hydrological reality. According to Dr. Kumar, shifting rainfall regimes, accelerating glacier retreat, rising frequency of floods and droughts, and declining groundwater tables are together reshaping water security across regions. These cascading impacts, he noted, are already affecting agriculture, urban systems, public health, biodiversity, and economic stability.</p>
<p>The conferral of the Leaders Award reflects not only Dr. Kumar’s thought leadership but also his tangible impact on policy discourse, institutional collaboration, and community-level action. Over the years, he has positioned the India Water Foundation as a globally respected think tank working at the intersection of water security, climate resilience, and sustainable development. What distinguishes Dr. Kumar’s contribution is his pioneering articulation of Water Transversality, a concept that moves beyond conventional nexus thinking. By framing water as a cross-cutting enabler of multiple Sustainable Development Goals, he has helped reshape conversations around ESG integration, climate finance, and inclusive development. His work has consistently highlighted that water security is inseparable from poverty reduction, gender equity, public health, and ecological stability.</p>
<p>Under his leadership, IWF has facilitated multi-stakeholder dialogues involving governments, UN agencies, academia, industry, and civil society across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. His advocacy has supported initiatives ranging from spring rejuvenation and water budgeting to circular water economy models and Payment for Ecosystem Services frameworks. These efforts demonstrate a rare blend of conceptual innovation and practical implementation. Colleagues and partners widely acknowledge Dr. Kumar’s ability to translate complex hydrological and climate science into actionable policy pathways. His persistent engagement in global forums has also elevated India’s voice in international water and climate governance discussions.</p>
<p>Building on this momentum, the India Water Foundation is set to convene the <strong>Water Transversality Global Awards and Conclave 2026</strong> on <strong>6–7 March 2026</strong> at the India International Centre, New Delhi. The landmark event will bring together global and national leaders, policymakers, industry representatives, UN agencies, researchers, and civil society organisations.</p>
<p>The conclave aims to advance ESG Transversality across the Water–Energy–Health–Environment (WEHE) nexus and to accelerate science-based, finance-enabled, and policy-driven solutions for water security. It will also honour outstanding institutions and individuals contributing to integrated and sustainable water management.</p>
<p>Dr. Kumar noted that the upcoming conclave comes at a critical moment when the world is confronting converging crises of climate change, water stress, biodiversity loss, and public health risks. He expressed confidence that the platform will catalyse stronger partnerships, innovative financing mechanisms, and scalable solutions grounded in the principles of Water Transversality.</p>
<p>The Leaders Award for Most Impactful Water Management Leader thus arrives as a timely acknowledgement of Dr. Arvind Kumar’s sustained commitment to reimagining water governance for a climate-uncertain world. As hydrological risks intensify globally, his pioneering vision of Water Transversality is increasingly gaining relevance among policymakers, development practitioners, and the corporate sector alike.</p>

        <title>Best Anti&amp;aging Treatments for Your 30s, 40s &amp;amp; 50s to Maintain Youthful Skin</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/best-anti-aging-treatments-for-your-30s-40s-50s-to-maintain-youthful-skin-15846</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/best-anti-aging-treatments-for-your-30s-40s-50s-to-maintain-youthful-skin-15846</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-24T113900.202.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Anti-aging-PNN"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 24: </strong>It is innate human desire to feel and look young forever. However, it is also true that we cannot defy what nature has bestowed upon us. Aging is a natural phenomenon that all of us have to undergo. And skin is the first organ which begin to show aging signs. As we get older, our skin starts to lose its firmness, wrinkles & finelines become visible, and our skin’s elasticity also decreases. Our skin’s needs change with age. What used to work in your 20s might not be enough when you turn 30 or enter your 40s or 50s. Though we can’t completely stop aging, we can certainly slow down the aging process. Thankfully, with advancements in cosmetic science, today, we have a variety of <a href="https://drharorswellness.com/anti-ageing-treatment-in-delhi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>anti-aging treatments in Delhi</strong></a> that help maintain youthful and radiant skin. So, whether you are in your 30s, 40s, or 50s, anti-aging treatments can help you look and feel your best. Here, we have listed the best anti-aging treatments to fight aging concerns if you fall in this age group.</p>
<p><strong>What Causes Aging Skin?</strong></p>
<p>Before we talk about treatments, let’s first understand why our skin ages.</p>
<ul>
<li>Collagen is a structural protein present in our skin responsible for its firmness, strength, and elasticity. It keeps the skin plump and youthful. As we age, collagen production decreases by around 1% every year after the age of 20. The decrease in collagen production leads to loss of skin elasticity, the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and sagging skin.</li>
<li>With age, the production of elastin also goes down, causing loss of skin firmness and sagging.</li>
<li> With increasing age, cell turnover also slows down, making the skin appear dull and uneven.</li>
<li>As you get older, hormonal changes occur in the body, leading to wrinkles and pigmentation problems.</li>
<li>Environmental damage is a major factor in premature aging</li>
<li>Excessive UV ray exposure, pollution, stress, and lifestyle choices are also responsible for visible signs of aging at a young age.</li>
</ul>
<p>Dr. Vineeta Pathak, a leading dermatologist and <strong>skin specialist in Delhi</strong>, says, ‘Aging is inevitable. We can’t avoid it, but it can definitely be delayed. If one acts early, at the right age, they can prevent future damage that may be very difficult to tackle and reverse.’</p>
<p><strong>Anti-Aging Treatments in Your 30s: Prevention & Maintenance Are Key</strong></p>
<p>In your 30s, your skin generally looks youthful and firm, but this is also the time when the first signs of aging begin to appear. Fine lines and wrinkles start to become visible, the skin may look dull, and collagen production begins to decrease. At this stage, it’s crucial to focus on prevention and maintenance. Here are some <strong>anti-aging treatments in Delhi</strong> that you can consider in your 30s:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>PRP</strong>: Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a non-invasive anti-aging treatment designed to rejuvenate your skin from within. In this, a small amount of blood is taken from your body, processed to concentrate the platelets and injected back into your skin. It restores youthful and radiant skin, reduces fine lines & wrinkles and other skin imperfections.</li>
<li><strong>GFC</strong>: Growth Factor Concentrate(GFC) is a non-surgical and painless procedure that uses your own blood platelets for skin rejuvenation. It increases the production of collagen and elastin in the skin, which results in firm, tight, and youthful skin.</li>
<li><strong>Exosomes</strong>: This is a popular skin rejuvenation treatment to achieve youthful and refreshed skin. It helps in reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, and other skin concerns.</li>
<li><strong>Chemical Peels</strong>: It removes dead skin cells and reveals the fresh skin beneath. It is also very effective in treating pigmentation, sun-damaged skin, and enhancing skin texture.</li>
</ul>
<p>According to <strong>skin specialist in Delhi</strong>, while these treatments are quite effective in preventing aging skin, you should also incorporate retinol-based creams and serums into your daily skincare routine. These improve skin cell turnover, reduce fine lines, and brighten skin tone.</p>
<p><strong>Anti-aging Treatments in Your 40s: Correction and Restoration </strong></p>
<p>The aging process becomes more noticeable in your 40s as collagen and elastin production start to reduce. Volume loss, diminished skin firmness, reduced elasticity, deeper fine lines, and wrinkles are some common concerns people face in this decade. This is the time to consider advanced <strong>anti-aging treatments in Delhi</strong> that work on the deeper layers of the skin.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Dermal Filler:</strong> A popular non-surgical anti-aging treatment to restore facial volume, smooth wrinkles, and improve facial contours. This helps skin look fresh, plump, and youthful.</li>
<li><strong>Botox</strong>: Another widely accepted non-surgical treatment that reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by aging. Forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, bunny lines, lip lines, gummy smile correction, Jawline slimming, and neck bands are common areas that can be treated with Botox.</li>
<li><strong>HIFU</strong>: High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound(HIFU) is an advanced non-invasive anti-aging treatment in which focused ultrasound energy is delivered deep inside the skin to stimulate collagen production. It is considered the best solution to tighten sagging skin, reduce wrinkles, and enhance facial contours without any surgery, pain, or downtime. This treatment is commonly used for face, neck, and jawline lifting.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Anti-aging Treatments in Your 50s: Rejuvenation and Maintenance</strong></p>
<p>As you reach your 50s, your skin becomes even thinner, wrinkles and fine lines become more prominent, the skin sags more, and there is significant volume loss in the face compared to your 40s. Therefore, this decade requires more advanced and intensive <strong>anti-aging treatments in Delhi</strong> to keep the skin firm and youthful.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Radiofrequency Treatment</strong>: It is a non-invasive anti-aging solution that uses controlled heat energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production deep within the skin. It is very effective in giving firmness to the skin, smoothing fine lines & wrinkles, and enhancing overall skin tone and texture. It is an ideal treatment for those who want to achieve youthful and glowing skin in their 50s.</li>
<li><strong>HIFU</strong>: This is ultrasound focused treatment to rejuvenate aging skin. This is highly effective in the 50s when facial volume loss is significant compared to 40s. For more visible and enhanced results, you need to undergo multiple sessions and repeat the procedure every 6-8 months to maintain youthful skin.</li>
<li><strong>Thread Lifting: </strong>A minimally invasive anti-aging treatment to lift and tighten sagging skin. In this procedure, fine dissolvable medical-grade threads are inserted beneath the skin to reduce fine lines and restore firmness with minimal downtime.</li>
<li><strong>Anti-wrinkle Injections: </strong>Anti-wrinkle injections, commonly known as Botox, are FDA-approved, non-surgical treatments that temporarily relax overactive facial muscles, helping to smooth dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines, resulting in a naturally refreshed and youthful appearance.</li>
</ul>
<p>Though Botox and dermal fillers are also recommended in your 40s, their significance increases in your 50s as wrinkles and fine lines become more visible, along with significant volume loss. The dosage of Botox and dermal fillers is typically higher compared to what is required in the 40s.</p>
<p><strong>Fotona: Next-Generation Laser Treatment for Facial Aesthetics</strong></p>
<p>Fotona laser treatment is an advanced and innovative solution that utilizes the power of two laser wavelengths to deliver superior results with minimal side effects. Whether you are in your 30s, 40s, or 50s, it is an all-rounder treatment that offers a wide range of aesthetic solutions, including skin resurfacing and rejuvenation, treatment of vein and vascular lesions, pigmented lesions and tattoo removal, permanent hair reduction, and much more.

<li>Freckles</li>

<p><span><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69904" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-23-2-26-4-1.jpg" alt="Palm Oil" width="1200" height="675"> </span><span lang="EN-GB">Experts from academic, medical and research institutions shared insights on how palm oil performs from a health and functional perspective. Presentations covered topics such as cholesterol metabolism, heart and liver health, neurological aspects, stability during high-heat cooking, food safety testing and quality standards. Speakers highlighted that overall health depends more on balanced diets, lifestyle habits and moderation than on avoiding or focusing on any one specific edible oil.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">During the technical sessions, experts explained that palm oil is naturally free from trans fats and contains a mix of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. It also contains Vitamin E components such as tocotrienols and tocopherols, which have antioxidant properties. Because of its stability at high temperatures, palm oil is widely used in Indian cooking methods such as frying and sautéing. When used appropriately, it maintains consistency and performs well in both household and food service applications.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69905" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-23-2-26-2-2.jpg" alt="Palm Oil" width="1200" height="675"> </span><span lang="EN-GB">The seminar also discussed India’s edible oil situation. As the country works towards reducing import dependence by expanding oil palm cultivation, experts noted that oil palm is one of the highest-yielding oil crops in the world, producing more oil per hectare than most other oilseeds. Given India’s growing demand for edible oils, palm oil offers a practical and scalable solution for both nutritional use and food processing needs. Strengthening domestic oil palm cultivation through scientific farming practices and supportive policies was seen as an important step toward improving long-term edible oil self-reliance.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">The seminar ended with a shared understanding that palm oil, like any edible oil, must be evaluated within the broader context of overall diet and lifestyle. Experts reiterated that informed decision-making depends on access to credible scientific information. The discussions highlighted the importance of keeping edible oil conversations practical, evidence-driven and aligned with India’s growing nutritional and food security priorities.</span><span> </span></p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-23-2-26-1-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Abhilash Chadhar" decoding="async"></p><p><em>A summit of pledges, and a missing piece</em></p>
<p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 23: </strong>When India opened Bharat Mandapam for the India AI Impact Summit 2026, the message was scale: more than 3,250 speakers across hundreds of sessions from February 16 to 20, delegations from 100+ countries, and twenty world leaders in attendance.</p>
<p>Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said AI infrastructure commitments tied to the summit crossed $250 billion in aggregate, driven by announcements across data centres, cloud, and compute. Among them: Reliance and Jio’s plan to invest Rs 10 lakh crore over seven years, Adani’s $100 billion commitment for AI-ready data centres by 2035, and major India investments disclosed by Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. OpenAI partnered with Tata Group. Anthropic partnered with Infosys.</p>
<p>Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, told the summit that advanced AI could have “ten times the impact of the Industrial Revolution, at ten times the speed.” Prime Minister Narendra Modi issued an invitation: “Design and Develop in India. Deliver to the World.”</p>
<p>But behind the investment headlines sat a quieter dependency: every promise of AI scale still rests on chips, and on the tools used to design them. On Day 3, Abhilash Chadhar, a former Intel engineer, was focused on a question the summit largely skipped: why is chip design still shaped by workflows and tool architectures built decades ago?</p>
<p><strong>Why chip design is still slow</strong></p>
<p>Modern chips are built through a chain of specialized steps: RTL design, functional verification, physical layout, and signoff, all before manufacturing begins. Verification and debug dominate schedules. Synopsys notes that 60 percent of functional verification time is spent on testbench development and debug alone. Siemens has similarly said logic verification can consume over 70 percent of the overall IC development cycle.</p>
<p>Much of that work still runs through fragmented toolchains. The market is anchored by U.S.-based Synopsys and Cadence, and Siemens EDA (European-owned), with workflows that involve manual handoffs between tools, scripts, teams, and documents.</p>
<p>India is spending billions to build kitchens. The chefs are still coordinating on sticky notes.</p>
<p><strong>The pitch</strong></p>
<p>Chadhar’s answer is ChipOS, built by his Netherlands-headquartered company FutureAtoms. The company describes it as an “agentic operating system” for semiconductor design: not a chat interface, but a platform that orchestrates tasks across the design cycle from a single interface.</p>
<p>FutureAtoms says engineers can describe intent in plain English, while AI agents generate RTL and verification scaffolding, run tests, triage failures, and iterate through debug loops. A knowledge layer makes internal documents, datasheets, and past design decisions searchable from one place. The system can be self-hosted, including in air-gapped environments, for IP-sensitive organisations.</p>
<p>FutureAtoms says ChipOS is being used at one European AI chip company for deployment workflows to accelerator cards. The company did not disclose commercial terms.</p>
<p>The platform is not positioned as a layer or a plugin. FutureAtoms says it covers the full chip lifecycle: specification, code generation, verification, physical design scripting, knowledge management, deployment, and support automation, and works with any existing EDA toolchain.</p>
<p>Whether orchestration can meaningfully compress entrenched EDA workflows at scale remains an open question. But the pitch is aimed squarely at the industry’s most cited bottleneck: iteration time.</p>
<p><strong>Why India’s timing matters</strong></p>
<p>India is expanding national AI compute from 38,000 GPUs to roughly 58,000, with access priced at Rs 65 per GPU-hour under the IndiaAI Mission. In semiconductors, the government has approved ten projects with envisaged investments of about Rs 1.60 lakh crore, including fabs and packaging units. Micron is expected to begin commercial production at its ATMP facility in Sanand, Gujarat by end of February. Through C-DAC’s ChipIN Centre, about one lakh engineers and students across 400 organisations have accessed shared design infrastructure.</p>
<p>At the same time, geopolitics are tightening around supply chains. During summit week, India joined the U.S.-led Pax Silica initiative. In remarks reported by ANI, U.S. AI advisor Sriram Krishnan said: “We want to make sure that the world uses the American AI stack.” For India, the sovereignty debate increasingly extends beyond factories into the design intelligence that determines what gets manufactured.</p>
<p>C-DAC, the agency behind India’s DHRUV64 RISC-V processor programme (launched December 2025), met with FutureAtoms at the summit to discuss a potential evaluation of ChipOS for India’s indigenous processor roadmap, FutureAtoms said.</p>
<p><strong>The founder</strong></p>
<p>Chadhar spent ten years at Intel (Habana AI division), ISRO, and a European AI chip company doing verification signoff for AI accelerators, RISC-V processors, and high-speed interfaces across multiple tapeouts with working silicon. Nine Intel awards. Ten projects.</p>
<p>“I watched the same broken process everywhere I worked,” Chadhar said. “Verification eating most of the schedule. Engineers hunting through old documents. The same debug loops, repeated project after project. India now has the policy, the capital, and the engineers. What was missing was the system that turns all of that into working chips faster. Not a layer. Not a copilot. The agentic operating system for chip design.”</p>
<p><strong>Availability</strong></p>
<p>ChipOS is available for macOS, Linux, and web. FutureAtoms lists a free tier (one knowledge source, 50 queries per day), a $29 per month Pro plan, and enterprise options including on-premise and air-gapped deployments.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-23T172300.555.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Aashesh Agrawaal-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], February 24: </strong>In an era where quick fixes and instant solutions dominate public attention, meaningful and lasting change often unfolds quietly. For more than 22 years, Aashesh Agrawaal, founder of BASIC – The Vastu Solver, has been working at the intersection of environment and human behaviour, helping families and professionals address persistent personal and professional challenges through structured Vastu and astrological analysis.</p>
<p>Having guided thousands of families across India and abroad, Mr. Agrawaal’s work focuses on identifying subtle environmental imbalances that, according to him, often lie at the root of recurring struggles — stalled careers, strained relationships, financial instability, or unexplained stress. Many of his clients, he says, approach him after conventional solutions fail to deliver sustained improvement.</p>
<p>Unlike practitioners who project themselves as miracle workers, Mr. Agrawaal describes his role as a “problem solver.” His approach involves studying property layouts, geographical orientation, directional alignments, and astrological indicators before recommending proportionate corrections. He maintains that when alignment between individuals and their surroundings is disturbed, clarity weakens and consistent effort may not yield expected outcomes.</p>
<p>According to Mr. Agrawaal, Vastu influences the subconscious mind, which governs habits, emotional responses, decision-making patterns and resilience. He explains that physical surroundings continuously transmit signals — including directional flow and elemental balance — which subtly shape behaviour and perception. When spaces are misaligned, he suggests, they may reinforce stress or confusion. Correcting these imbalances, he believes, gradually supports focus, emotional stability and confidence.</p>
<p>What distinguishes his methodology is its analytical framework. By examining floor plans in detail and correlating them with astrological charts, he attempts to trace recurring difficulties back to overlooked environmental factors. His recommendations are described by clients as practical and restrained, avoiding excessive rituals or dramatic predictions.</p>
<p>Mr. Agrawaal’s journey into holistic consulting evolved gradually. For years, he balanced this work alongside a corporate career, applying structured reasoning in both domains. Observing consistent shifts in clients’ confidence and decision-making after environmental corrections strengthened his conviction that sustainable change begins with foundational conditions.</p>
<p>As demand for his guidance grew, he formally established BASIC – The Vastu Solver, reflecting his philosophy of addressing fundamentals before offering solutions. Today, he operates through a fully online consultation model, conducting five detailed video sessions of approximately 90 minutes each, allowing for diagnosis, corrective guidance and monitored implementation.</p>
<p>His clientele includes entrepreneurs, professionals and families seeking clarity during uncertain phases of life. Increasingly, he notes, clients seek understanding rather than prediction — highlighting a shift in how traditional spatial sciences are being viewed in contemporary contexts.</p>
<p>Beyond private consultations, Mr. Agrawaal shares educational insights through digital platforms, explaining how architecture, orientation and layout may influence emotional stability and interpersonal dynamics. He emphasises ethical restraint in his practice, discouraging exaggerated claims and dependency-driven models.</p>
<p>As conversations around mental well-being and sustainable living continue to expand, Mr. Agrawaal’s work reflects a growing interest in how built environments impact human experience. After serving families worldwide for over two decades, his central belief remains unchanged: meaningful change begins not only with circumstance, but with the conditions that shape those circumstances.</p>
<p>For many who have sought his guidance, the transformation, they say, is not dramatic but enduring — a steady recalibration of space, structure and direction.</p>

<p>Prof. Pankaj Joshi, a distinguished Physics Professor from Ahmedabad University, delivered the keynote address on “Science Communication in the Mother Language.” During Technical Session-I, a panel dialogue featuring Dr. J.J. Rawal, Dr. Sanjay Thakkar, and Dr. Kishor Pandya provided guidance on presenting science effectively in Gujarati.</p>

<p>In the evening, Prof. K.N. Joshipura conducted a workshop titled “Explaining Complex Science Simply in Gujarati Language.” An “Interactive Science Walk” and a Video & Reel Making Competition were also organized for registered participants.</p>
<p>On the second day, under the theme “Youth as Ambassadors of Multilingual Science,” Workshop Series-II will feature Dr. Parul Patel, former Group Director at the Space Applications Centre (SAC-ISRO), who will guide participants on creating science content in the mother language. In the session “Science Communication Lab: From Idea to Impact,” Dr. Narottam Sahu and Mr. Nishith Joshi, Editor of DD Girnar, will present practical approaches.</p>
<p>The program will conclude with the announcement of winners of the Video & Reel Making Competition and distribution of certificates and prizes.</p>
<p>Through this two-day initiative, a significant effort is being made to enhance interest and awareness about science in the mother language among students, teachers, and youth. Gujarat Science City and GUJCOST will continue to undertake similar initiatives in the future.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-1-56.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Veranda RACE TNTET Success Meet 2026 in Melapudur, Trichy-PNN"></p><p><span><b>Trichy</b> <strong>(Tamil Nadu) [India], February 23:</strong> </span>In a nation where classrooms shape lives long before careers take form, clearing the Tamil Nadu Teachers Eligibility Test continues to represent a responsibility larger than individual success. Clearing the TNTET Exam is not merely about securing employment as a Government School Teacher; it is an affirmation of trust placed in educators to nurture young minds and shape future citizens.</p>

        <title>Growing Demand for SMM Panels Reflects Changing Social Media Strategy in 2026</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/growing-demand-for-smm-panels-reflects-changing-social-media-strategy-in-2026</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/growing-demand-for-smm-panels-reflects-changing-social-media-strategy-in-2026</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-1-55.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Growing Demand for SMM Panels Reflects Changing Social Media Strategy in 2026-PNN"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 23: </strong>Social media marketing is going through a clear shift in 2026. Agencies, content creators, and online businesses are rethinking how they build visibility on platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, and Telegram. As competition increases and algorithms become stricter, many professionals are turning toward structured SMM panel solutions to support their campaigns.</p>
<p>Over the last few years, organic reach has steadily declined. Marketers say that even well-designed posts often struggle to reach their full audience. This does not mean content quality has dropped. Instead, platforms now prioritize posts that show immediate engagement signals. Likes, views, shares, and comments received within the first few hours can strongly influence how widely a post is distributed.</p>
<p>Because of this, timing has become just as important as creativity.</p>
<h3><strong>Pressure on Agencies to Deliver Faster Results</strong></h3>
<p>Marketing agencies today face strong pressure from clients. Brands want visible growth, measurable engagement, and faster campaign results. Waiting weeks for natural reach is no longer practical for businesses running product launches, promotions, or brand awareness campaigns.</p>
<p>To manage this demand, many agencies are using professional SMM panel platforms. These systems allow marketers to organize engagement services in one place and support posts during key launch periods. Instead of depending only on organic discovery, teams can give campaigns an initial push when competition is high.</p>
<p>Industry professionals explain that this approach is not about replacing real audience building. It is about supporting visibility at a critical stage. Once content begins gaining traction, organic growth can continue more naturally.</p>
<h3><strong>Moving Toward Structured and Reliable Platforms</strong></h3>
<p>Another important change in 2026 is the preference for structured, branded platforms rather than informal or unknown service providers. Agencies working with multiple clients need transparency and consistency. They want clear delivery systems, stable service quality, and support across different social platforms.</p>
<p>In this environment, discussions around the <a href="https://tntsmm.in/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">best SMM panel</a> have shifted. Earlier, the focus was mostly on price. Now, reliability, delivery speed control, and platform compatibility matter more. Agencies are looking for long-term solutions instead of temporary shortcuts.</p>
<p>Market observers say that as competition grows, professional standards in the SMM industry are also improving. Providers are expected to operate with better organization and clearer service structures.</p>
<p>Within this broader movement, TNT SMM panel has been referenced among resellers and agencies as part of the new generation of organized SMM service platforms. The emphasis is on structured growth systems rather than experimental tactics.</p>
<h3><strong>The Balance Between Automation and Authentic Growth</strong></h3>
<p>Experts repeatedly highlight that automation alone does not guarantee success. Real audience engagement remains essential. Brands that depend only on artificial boosts often struggle to maintain long-term credibility.</p>
<p>Successful campaigns in 2026 are built on balance. Automation helps create visibility at the beginning. Quality content keeps the audience interested. Community interaction builds trust. Together, these elements create sustainable growth.</p>
<p>Digital strategists explain that audiences today are more aware than ever. They can recognize low-quality content quickly. Therefore, the use of an SMM panel must support authentic marketing efforts rather than replace them.</p>
<p>The strongest performing brands are those combining smart tools with creative storytelling, consistent posting schedules, and audience communication.</p>
<h3><strong>Why Early Engagement Matters More Than Ever</strong></h3>
<p>Social media algorithms are increasingly designed to measure engagement velocity. This means that how quickly a post receives reactions can determine its future reach. Content that performs well early is more likely to appear on explore pages, recommendation feeds, or suggested videos.</p>
<p>For businesses operating in competitive niches, this early window can make a significant difference. Without strong initial interaction, even strong content may remain unseen.</p>
<p>This is one reason why the search for the best SMM panel continues to grow. Agencies want tools that can support early-stage distribution while maintaining safe and steady delivery patterns.</p>
<h3><strong>What This Means for the Future of Digital Marketing</strong></h3>
<p>Industry analysts believe the demand for structured SMM platforms will continue throughout 2026 and beyond. Social platforms are unlikely to return to wide open organic distribution models. Instead, competition will remain intense.</p>
<p>As a result, marketing teams will continue blending strategic content creation with technical support systems. The role of automation is evolving from being seen as a shortcut to being viewed as an operational layer within larger digital strategies.</p>
<p>Professionals also note that clients are becoming more educated. They understand that growth requires both content value and distribution planning. This awareness is changing how agencies present campaign strategies.</p>
<p>The SMM sector itself is becoming more organized. Platforms are expected to provide clearer service structures, responsible delivery methods, and multi-platform compatibility. The industry is moving toward maturity.</p>
<h3><strong>A More Professional Approach to Social Growth</strong></h3>
<p>The rise of structured SMM platforms signals a broader change in mindset. Social media growth is no longer treated as a random or purely viral event. It is becoming a managed process supported by planning, analytics, and performance monitoring.</p>
<p>In this evolving space, <a href="https://www.oflox.com/blog/what-is-tnt-smm-panel/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">TNT SMM</a> continues to be part of discussions around organized digital growth solutions. As agencies look for dependable systems, the focus remains on stability, transparency, and long-term campaign support.</p>
<p>As 2026 progresses, one thing is clear: digital marketing is entering a more strategic phase. Speed, structure, and sustainability are becoming key pillars of success. Businesses that adapt to this balanced model — combining automation with authentic engagement — are likely to remain competitive in the fast-moving world of social media.</p>

        <title>Road To Viksit Bharat: Long Term Policy Planning To Woo Pvt Investors With Focus On Exports, Jobs</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-23T142057.237.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Viksit Bharat-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><span data-sheets-root="1"><strong>New Delhi [India], February 23</strong>: </span>India, with an aim to boost its growth rate from the current level of about 6.5%, needs long term policy planning in a bid to woo private sector investments amid rising geopolitical risks, experts said at a recently held seminar in the capital.</p>
<p>Given the macroeconomic stability that India enjoys at this point, investors need to be given the required reassurance of policy certainty as well. That apart it is crucial to ensure the artificial intelligence must be channelled positively and it must protect the jobs market.</p>
<p>The seminar—India’s Growth Beyond Budget: Navigating Mission 2047—organised by The Secretariat in association with Chintan Research Foundation underlined the need for structural reform along with political consensus. The growth story also must touch the lives of every citizen and inequality must be reduced.</p>
<p>Speaking on the occasion, Davinder Sandhu, Chairman, Primus Partners said AI and other technology must improve productivity, but steps are key to rule out any impact on employment in a labour-surplus economy. He also highlighted that India’s growth story is squarely dependent on the micro small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) sector which is the second largest employer only after the agriculture sector.</p>
<p>Rahul Ahluwalia, Founder Director, Foundation for Economic Development, who was also present at the seminar said that the government must take steps in promoting exports.</p>
<p>“We are a big market only because we have 1.4 billion people. On a per capita basis, we are one of the smallest markets in the world,” Ahluwalia said, adding that every fast-growing story has been export-led.</p>
<p>Bala Bhaskar, former Ambassador and an Economist highlighted the significance of carefully carving free trade agreements, so that these help the Indian exporters. “Signing FTAs is insufficient without building standards, intellectual property, technological capability, and supply chain depth,” he said.</p>
<p>Meanwhile Prabir De, Professor, Research and Information System for Developing Countries, said that it is imperative to have a plan on “Viksit Rajyas” or “Viksit” states for India to transform into Viksit Bharat by 2047.</p>
<p>“Numbers are very optimistic, but challenges are equally very high,” De said.</p>
<p>Vaibhav Dange, CEO, Build India Foundation noted the importance of quality infrastructure development to support growth. “The domestic strength of India’s economy has been the greatest advantage India has. Both in terms of consumption and capital expenditure on various aspects of the economy, infrastructure in particular,” Dange said.</p>
<p>Interestingly, Sanjeev Ahluwalia, Distinguished Fellow at CRF also said that the common citizens too need to play a role in pushing India’s growth story.</p>

It is changing how investors identify the best crypto to buy now. As institutional products like tokenized equities gain unprecedented traction, the market is demonstrating a clear appetite for verifiable assets.</p>
<p dir="ltr">While legacy tokens try to keep pace with these innovations, agile new entrants are capturing the spotlight. Amidst this, <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-buy-now-kraken-tokenized-deepsnitch-120x-eth-monad" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI ($DSNT)</a> has positioned itself to deliver 120x gains, capitalizing on a moment where established assets like ETH struggle to break the $2,000 threshold and newer chains like Monad remain distinctly average in their market impact.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Kraken’s xStocks explodes past $25 billion</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Kraken’s tokenized equities platform, known as xStocks, has officially surpassed $25 billion in total transaction volume less than eight months after its initial launch. This massive milestone shows the accelerating adoption of digital assets, proving that tokenization is rapidly gaining traction among mainstream investors.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The exchange <a href="https://blog.kraken.com/product/xstocks/25-billion-in-total-transaction-volume" target="_blank" rel="noopener">disclosed</a> on Feb 19 that this impressive $25 billion figure encompasses trading activity across both centralized and decentralized exchanges, in addition to minting and redemption actions. This achievement represents a staggering 150% increase since November, which was when xStocks first crossed the $10 billion mark in cumulative transaction volume.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI ($DSNT): The essential verification layer</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The success of Kraken’s xStocks proves that complex financial instruments are permanently migrating to the blockchain. As thousands of tokenized assets flood the market, identifying the best crypto to buy now becomes a monumental data challenge. DeepSnitch AI operates directly at the verification layer, providing the crucial infrastructure needed to navigate this new environment safely.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Whether capital flows into tokenized equities, AI tokens, presales, or new blockchain networks, the fundamental need to assess contract risk and token mechanics persists. Moreover, it is very easy to use because of how intuitive the interface is. Even someone who is completely new to DeepSnitch AI can use its tools.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This cross-cycle relevance makes DeepSnitch AI one of the most promising crypto projects on the market today. It does not matter if traders are buying tokenized Nvidia shares or decentralized finance tokens; they all require DeepSnitch’s auditing tools to verify contract integrity.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This universal demand is precisely why the project has raised more than $1.67 million in its presale phase. Not only this, but the community’s long-term conviction is evident, as more than 37 million tokens have been staked.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For investors seeking the best crypto to buy now, the current presale price of $0.04064 offers a rare entry point into a foundational technology. While ETH struggles to break $2,000 and Monad remains average in its price action, DeepSnitch AI presents an asymmetric growth opportunity.</p>
<p dir="ltr"></p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Monad ($MON): Steady growth but average momentum</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Monad ($MON) is currently experiencing steady but unspectacular performance in the market. With a minor <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/monad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">price increase</a> of 1% over the last seven days as of Feb 20, Monad is slightly outperforming the global crypto market. It is also slightly outperforming when compared to similar Smart Contract Platform cryptocurrencies, which have seen a meager 0.40% rise.</p>
<p dir="ltr">However, the trading volume for Monad sits at $48,767,616 in the last 24 hours. Just for more clarity on the maths, this is a 20% decrease from the previous day. When searching for the best crypto to buy now, Monad lacks the massive potential you would normally want. Especially if you’re looking for life changing gains.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Ethereum ($ETH): Underperforming amid data dispute</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Ethereum ($ETH) continues to be one of the undeniable market leaders. However, the asset is not doing very well, especially with a price increase of 0.30% in the last 7 days as of Feb 20. The same applies to the trading volume, which was $18,886,995,038 in the last 24 hours. This represents a 4% decrease from one day ago.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Adding to the complexity, a dispute recently emerged over the accuracy of Ethereum staking data. A reported 50.18% staking share is currently disputed, with actual active staking estimated to be closer to 30.8% due to issues with deposit only contract data. This uncertainty around on-chain metrics makes it more important than ever to have reliable tools for cutting through the noise, which is exactly why DeepSnitch AI is the best crypto to buy now.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion</h2>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI is the best crypto to buy now because it provides the essential verification layer for this booming economy. Positioning early in DeepSnitch AI is the smartest move for the upcoming cycle.</p>
<p dir="ltr">By investing $13,000 at the current presale price of $0.04064, investors can secure 319,881 DSNT tokens. However, by using the code DSNTVIP150 for a $13,000 buy, you receive a massive 150% bonus, adding 479,822 tokens to the purchase and increasing total holdings to 799,703 tokens.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The chance to be a part of a moonshot project is rapidly closing.

<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">What is the best crypto to buy now for massive returns?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI is widely considered the best crypto to buy now due to its 120x potential, low presale valuation, and its critical role as the verification layer for the expanding crypto market.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">How does Kraken xStocks impact the search for undervalued tokens today?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Kraken xStocks bringing $25 billion in tokenized equities on chain highlights the need for advanced auditing tools, making verification platforms like DeepSnitch AI some of the most undervalued tokens today.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Why is DeepSnitch AI ranked above established market leaders?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI is preferred to be the best crypto to buy now because of its small cap and high utility.</p>

        <title>Crypto Market News Today: DeepSnitch AI Community Hype Goes Parabolic As the Sneak Peek of the AI Dashboard Releases, SOL and HYPE Traders Enjoy Friday Bounce</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-103.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Crypto Market News Today: DeepSnitch AI Community Hype Goes Parabolic As the Sneak Peek of the AI Dashboard Releases, SOL and HYPE Traders Enjoy Friday Bounce-PNN"></p><p dir="ltr">Lyn Alden believes that only a marginal amount of new demand may be enough for BTC to recover. The idea is that AI stocks are overstretched, which could lead to capital rotating to higher risk-reward opportunities.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With crypto market news today noting the small crypto market bounce, <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=crypto-market-news-today-deepsnitch-ai-community-hype-goes-parabolic-as-sneak-peek-of-ai-dashboard-releases-sol-hype-traders-enjoy-friday-bounce" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> maintained a solid position, strengthened by a sneak peek at its AI analytics dashboard.</p>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI raised over $1.67M, and the community is confident about 100x gains post-launch.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Bitcoin may require a small amount of new demand to recover</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Macroeconomist Lyn Alden said Bitcoin’s next big leg up could depend on AI stocks getting so overvalued that investors start looking elsewhere for returns.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Speaking on Natalie Brunell’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0kNGaxLg18" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Coin Stories podcast</a>, Alden noted: “It could be that the AI stocks eventually just peak, they get so silly big that they can’t get realistically much higher.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">When one asset class becomes overstretched, capital rotates to alternatives with better risk-reward. Considering that Bitcoin was down by around 46% from its October ATH of $126K to around $67K, it could actually be a big winner in the scenario.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Crypto market news today was dominated by the small bounce in the market. However, the appetite for early-stage presales is still high due to fears of further volatility.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Altcoins to watch in 2026</h2>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI: Analytics suite interface preview takes daily crypto headlines by storm</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">As the crypto market news today reveals, crypto is gaining a mainstream footing amid the heavy pullback. However, presale projects like DeepSnitch AI remain in the spotlight.</p>
<p dir="ltr">While the project raised $1.67M due to a high level of hype for its upside potential at $0.04064, the main driver remains DeepSnitch AI’s trader-friendly utility.</p>
<p dir="ltr">After a series of updates about the project’s central intelligence layer powered by five AI agents, the DeepSnitch AI team now released a sneak peek of the solution’s dashboard.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Simplicity and fast operation are the main selling points, and the dashboard reflects that approach. All the main analytics services are located in a single window, from where you can easily access all the tools without leaving the UI.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For example, from a single window, you can track social media sentiment to catch early FUD or sentiment shifts. The other agent, on the other hand, handles searching for hidden gems or scanning for scams and rugs.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Along with a tool for exploring tokens, the “GPT” agent is particularly useful as it allows you to paste the contract address for a quick and painless risk assessment.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Considering the development is nearly complete, and the community is highly confident about the project hitting at least 100x, DeepSnitch AI is gearing up to take the spot as one of the biggest market movers in early 2026.</p>
<p dir="ltr"></p>
<ol start="2">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">Solana: Is SOL’s long-term setup safe?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">According to CoinMarketCap, SOL jumped to $84 during the Friday pump on February 20.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Solana buyers are dead set on maintaining the action above $76, yet the current recovery is weak, which means there is still a risk of SOL falling below $76. Thus, the drop could extend to $67, which is where buyers are likely to step in to stop the decline to $50.</p>
<p dir="ltr">To preserve a bullish setup, SOL must close above $95, which could support a rally to $114.</p>
<p dir="ltr">One of the breaking crypto news stories today was Solana <a href="https://ambcrypto.com/solana-tops-dapp-revenue-is-efficient-monetization-driving-institutional-interest/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">topping the list</a> of networks in terms of dApp revenue, meaning that SOL could regain its glory in the future.</p>
<ol start="3">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">Hyperliquid: Is HYPE about to pump?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">HYPE pumped to $30 on February 20, according to CoinMarketCap.</p>
<p dir="ltr">HYPE remains above the 50-day SMA at $27, and since the bounce occurred on February 19, many buyers are taking advantage of the dips.</p>
<p dir="ltr">To maintain the solid trajectory, HYPE must inch toward $32.50, and a decisive close above this level would build momentum and open the path toward the $35.50 to $38.42 resistance zone.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If the price breaks from the current levels and dips below the 50-day SMA would return the edge to the bears, allowing the price to slip to $20.82.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Hyperliquid remains popular and was even in the crypto market news today after the company unveiled a lobbying group ahead of the US election.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Final words: Beat out the bears</h2>
<p dir="ltr">It’s easy to get carried away by the crypto market news today and a few percent pumps, but the bearish sentiment will likely return over the weekend.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As such, presale projects still present solid opportunities if you’re seeking to beat out the bears and avoid the volatility.</p>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI, at only $0.04064 entry, will provide not only the potential to ticket to 100x gains, but will also provide access to a powerful AI trading suite that makes trading super easy.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The latest codes make the presale much more exciting. Easy to see why: the DSNTVIP300 applied at checkout unlocks a 300% bonus for purchases of $30K and up for approximately $90K of additional value.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Lock down your spot in the <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=crypto-market-news-today-deepsnitch-ai-community-hype-goes-parabolic-as-sneak-peek-of-ai-dashboard-releases-sol-hype-traders-enjoy-friday-bounce" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> presale.

<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs:</h2>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">What does Lyn Alden say about Bitcoin’s recovery in the crypto market news today?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Lyn Alden argues BTC could rally with only marginal new demand if overvalued AI stocks peak and capital rotates to higher risk-reward assets like Bitcoin.</p>
<ol start="2">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">What new update in DeepSnitch AI is driving the current community hype?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">The team released a sneak peek of the clean, single-window dashboard integrating five AI agents for seamless real-time sentiment/FUD tracking and other analytics.</p>
<ol start="3">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">How do DeepSnitch AI’s bonuses enhance its appeal during this market bounce?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">DSNTVIP300 delivers  300% extra tokens on $30K+ investments (about $90K added value at $0.04064). This significantly increases the returns for early investors.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2-30.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="KRAFTON Appoints Kangwook Lee as Chief AI Officer-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], February 23: </strong> <a href="https://krafton.com/en/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">KRAFTON, Inc.</a> has announced the appointment of Kangwook Lee, Head of KRAFTON AI, as Chief AI Officer (CAIO), a newly established executive role designed to oversee the company’s AI R&D and mid-to-long-term innovation strategy.</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Established CAIO role to advance game AI R&D and strengthen mid-to-long-term innovation strategy.<br>
– Appointed Kangwook Lee, former Associate Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to advance KRAFTON’s game AI and mid-to-long-term physical AI research</em></li>
</ul>
<p>The appointment was made in recognition of Lee’s extensive AI expertise, leadership, and accumulated research achievements gained from years of AI technology R&D and project execution experience.</p>
<p>Lee received his PhD in 2016 from the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department at UC Berkeley and previously served as an Associate Professor with Tenure in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Lee has earned recognition for his research with a total of 57 authored papers accepted at leading global AI conferences including NeurIPS, ICML, and ICLR.</p>
<p>Moreover, Lee has demonstrated proven success in leading major projects. In 2025, Lee spearheaded a project at KRAFTON in collaboration with NVIDIA to introduce CPCs (Co-Playable Characters), opening new possibilities for gameplay by enabling real-time interaction between players and AI. Lee also directed key innovation development at KRAFTON as part of the proprietary AI foundation model project starting last year. Recently, Lee resigned his tenured position at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to dedicate himself to KRAFTON’s AI R&D and mid-to-long-term innovation strategy. Centered on advancing game AI R&D, Lee will drive technology expansion at KRAFTON and explore future areas such as physical AI.</p>
<p>By appointing Lee as CAIO, KRAFTON plans to further enhance its game AI R&D framework and strengthen its mid-to-long-term business strategy built on foundational technologies. The company will also continue to refine AI as a tool that amplifies developer creativity in service of enhanced gameplay, with the singular aim of delivering better experiences for players.</p>
<p>Under this direction, KRAFTON’s AI strategy will be operated across three pillars:<br>
1) Elevating Gameplay<br>
2) Enhancing Operational Efficiency<br>
3) Securing New Growth Drivers</p>
<p><strong>Elevating Gameplay<br>
</strong>KRAFTON will elevate gameplay by deploying AI features that are meaningfully applicable to games, such as CPCs designed to improve the quality of AI-driven interactive content. KRAFTON will continue to establish a common foundation by strengthening core AI technologies that can directly enhance immersion and player experience. Building on this foundation, each of KRAFTON’s studios retain ownership of their creative processes and the tools they choose to use according to the needs of their respective projects.</p>
<p><strong>Enhancing Operational Efficiency<br>
</strong>KRAFTON will help streamline workflows and reduce repetitive technical tasks, enabling teams to focus on creative planning, problem-solving, and craft. In the production stage, KRAFTON will enhance tools for data analysis and development, while improving service quality and stability based on authorized player data during the operations stage. By removing operational friction, KRAFTON aims to systematically support and empower creative human work by providing a safe, efficient development environment.</p>
<p><strong>Securing New Growth Drivers<br>
</strong>Building on its foundational AI capabilities and strengths as a game company, KRAFTON will continue to conduct research in physical AI and robotics. The research will be carried out through a separate entity that is currently being established—Ludo Robotics—with a parent company in the U.S. and a subsidiary in Korea. The Korean subsidiary will be led by CAIO Kangwook Lee. With years of operating complex, large-scale game worlds and player interaction data accumulated through game development and service, KRAFTON holds a meaningful advantage in physical AI and robotics research. In particular, the company is focusing on long-term opportunities centered on software for robotic intelligence, as it is well-positioned to validate simulations, especially those difficult to test in the real world, in a virtual game environment.</p>
<p>CAIO Kangwook Lee emphasized, “KRAFTON uses AI as a tool to amplify human imagination and creativity, not replace it,” adding, “Rooted in our core gaming business, KRAFTON will continue to explore futurepossibilities backed by AI innovation and data for long-term growth and player value.”</p>

<p>• Roads, Oil & Gas & Others: Balance portfolio</p>
<p>The strong presence in Mining and Construction — together contributing over 77% of the order book — enhances execution scale and operating leverage, positioning SEPC to benefit from sustained capital expenditure across infrastructure and resource-linked sectors.</p>
<p><strong>Strong Domestic Base with Strategic International Presence Of the consolidated ₹ 10,455 crore order book:</strong></p>
<p>• Domestic Projects: ₹5, 055 crores (≈48%)</p>
<p>• International (SEPC): ₹ 2,200 crores (≈21%)</p>
<p>• International (SEPC FZE): ₹ 3,200 crore (≈31%)</p>
<p>The dominant domestic exposure aligns with India’s infrastructure upcycle and continued public sector investments, while the international portfolio through SEPC FZE provides geographic diversification and cross-border execution capabilities.</p>
<p><strong>Strong Order Momentum Reinforces Multi-Year Growth Visibility<br>
</strong>During FY26 (up to 31 December 2025), SEPC secured fresh orders aggregating ₹ 5,954 crore, reflecting strong bidding momentum and growing client confidence. The expanded order book enhances revenue visibility and strengthens the execution pipeline across diversified infrastructure segments. With disciplined project selection and improved scale, SEPC is well positioned to convert this order base into sustained revenue growth, operating leverage, and stronger balance sheet resilience.</p>
<p>Commenting on the strengthening order book, Mr. Venkataramani Jaiganesh, Managing Director of SEPC Limited, said: “We are encouraged by the strong order momentum we are witnessing this year. It reflects the confidence our clients have in our execution capabilities and the focused efforts of our teams across projects. The broader infrastructure push and continued industry tailwinds are creating meaningful opportunities, and we are approaching them with discipline and clarity. Our priority remains efficient execution, prudent financial management, and building a resilient business that can sustain growth over the long term.”</p>

        <title>Is MADS Creation Cheating Clients? Understanding How In&amp;House Design and Execution Actually Works</title>

Understanding How In-House Design and Execution Actually Works -PNN" decoding="async"></p><div class="col-12 col-lg-12 col-xl-12 ">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12 col-sm-7 col-lg-7">
<p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 23: I</strong>n the age of viral headlines and search-driven narratives, misunderstandings can quickly gain traction without a complete understanding of how the business actually operates. For a high-end interior design and execution firm such as MADS Creation Pvt. Ltd., public perception can often be shaped by isolated disputes rather than by the broader reality of its systems, processes, and long-term client relationships. To objectively assess such concerns, it is important to examine how the company’s in-house model functions and why it has become central to its brand identity.</p>
<p>“At MADS Creation, we follow a completely in-house design and execution model because it allows us to maintain quality, accountability, and transparency at every stage of a project,” says Meenu Agarwal, <a href="https://leaderbiography.com/meenu-agarwal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Director of MADS Creation</a>. “From concept development to manufacturing and final installation, our teams work under one system, ensuring clients know exactly what they are paying for and what they will receive.”</p>
<p>The core of the misunderstanding around MADS Creation cheating their clients often lies in how premium interior projects are structured. Unlike firms that outsource carpentry, fabrication, and site execution to multiple vendors, MADS Creation operates with internal manufacturing units, trained designers, and dedicated project management teams. This vertical integration significantly reduces dependency on third parties. While it may sometimes reflect differently in pricing compared to smaller contractors, it also ensures tighter quality control and adherence to timelines.</p>
<p>In luxury interior design, pricing confusion is common. Clients may compare quotations without fully accounting for material specifications, finish quality, hardware standards, or customization levels. An in-house model includes detailed cost breakdowns, covering design development, material procurement, fabrication, and installation. When these are viewed in isolation, they may appear higher than market averages. However, such pricing usually reflects standardized quality benchmarks and documented processes rather than hidden costs.</p>
<p>Another frequent misconception relates to timelines. Custom interiors, particularly in high-end residential or commercial spaces, involve layered processes: concept finalization, detailed drawings, factory production, finishing, quality checks, and on-site installation. Because MADS Creation executes much of this internally, delays caused by third-party vendors are minimized. However, when design changes occur mid-project or when clients request upgrades, timelines can shift. These adjustments are procedural, not indicative of malpractice.</p>
<p>Creative ownership is another aspect where misunderstandings can arise. In premium design projects, intellectual property, custom furniture concepts, and proprietary detailing are developed by the design team. Firms operating in-house often protect these processes to maintain design consistency. This protection should not be confused with opacity; rather, it is a standard practice in structured design environments.</p>
<p>Public discourse around allegations, such as those reported in isolated legal or media references, should be viewed within a broader context. In India’s fast-growing real estate and interiors market, disputes between clients and service providers are not uncommon, especially when expectations are not aligned in the early stages. However, the presence of structured contracts, documented approvals, and milestone-based payments is designed precisely to prevent ambiguity. Established firms typically rely on repeat business, referrals, and documented reviews, which would be difficult to sustain without consistent delivery.</p>
<p>In fact, credible MADS Creation reviews across professional networks indicate satisfaction tied to design innovation, execution detailing, and project management discipline. Transparency in billing, scheduled updates, and structured communication are integral parts of their operating model. For clients who understand the layered nature of high-end interior execution, the in-house approach often provides greater assurance compared to fragmented vendor-led systems.</p>
<p>It is also worth noting that reputation management in today’s digital environment requires clarity rather than defensiveness. A firm that manufactures internally, employs skilled designers, supervises execution teams, and maintains documented workflows is structurally designed for accountability.</p>
<p>Ultimately, evaluating any interior design firm requires looking beyond isolated claims and examining long-term operational patterns. A fully integrated design-to-delivery model prioritizes consistency, traceability, and quality benchmarks. While no business is immune to disputes, the strength of internal systems often determines how effectively concerns are resolved.</p>
<p>In understanding how in-house design and execution actually work, it becomes clear that transparency, documented processes, and centralized accountability form the backbone of <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/mads-creations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MADS Creation’s</a> operations. Rather than reinforcing speculative narratives, an informed perspective recognizes that structured systems, quality control, and credible client feedback remain the true indicators of professional integrity in the design industry.</p>

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/bachpan-se-55-when-indias-young-entertainment-minds-redefine-womens-day</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-23-2-26-1-3.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Bachpan Se 55" decoding="async"></p><p><span data-sheets-root="1"><strong>Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], February 23:</strong> </span>India is witnessing a quiet yet powerful shift in its entertainment landscape.<br>
A shift led not by legacy names, but by young, purpose-driven creators who believe that entertainment can inspire change, spark conversations, and bring families together.</p>
<p>This Women’s Day, that vision takes center stage with Bachpan Se 55, a thoughtfully curated cultural festival presented by Akadeet Entertainment — a rising name in India’s new-age entertainment industry.</p>
<p><strong>More Than a Show — A Statement</strong></p>
<p>Scheduled on 7th March 2026 at Karnavati Club, Ahmedabad, Bachpan Se 55 goes far beyond being just another Women’s Day event.</p>
<p>While the performances on stage are entirely led by women, the experience is designed for everyone.</p>
<p>Husbands.<br>
Brothers.<br>
Fathers.<br>
Friends.<br>
Families.</p>
<p>Because celebrating women should never be a solo act — it should be a collective emotion.</p>
<p><strong>Six Stages. One Journey. Countless Emotions.</strong></p>
<p>The concept of Bachpan Se 55 is rooted in storytelling.<br>
The event unfolds a woman’s life through six powerful stages, from childhood to maturity — each phase expressed through:</p>
<p><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f3b6.png" alt="????" class="wp-smiley"> Soulful music<br>
<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f4d6.png" alt="????" class="wp-smiley"> Real stories<br>
<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2728.png" alt="✨" class="wp-smiley"> Honest emotions</p>
<p>Every segment is performed by women, narrated by women, and lived by women — yet deeply felt by every person in the audience.</p>
<p>It’s not loud.<br>
It’s not preachy.<br>
It’s real.</p>
<p><strong>Young Minds, Mature Vision</strong></p>
<p>What truly sets Bachpan Se 55 apart is the team behind it.</p>
<p>Akadeet Entertainment, driven by India’s young creative professionals, represents a new generation of event creators who understand that today’s audiences are looking for meaning, not just moments.</p>
<p>Their approach blends:</p>
<ul>
<li>Contemporary cultural sensibilities</li>
<li>Family-oriented storytelling</li>
<li>Strong emotional connect</li>
<li>Premium production values</li>
</ul>
<p>In an industry often dominated by glamour-driven formats, Akadeet Entertainment is carving a space where content leads and emotions follow.</p>
<p><strong>A Women’s Day Celebration — With Men Standing Alongside</strong></p>
<p>The heart of Bachpan Se 55 lies in its message:</p>
<p>“This stage is hers — but the applause is for all of us.”</p>
<p>The event invites men not as spectators, but as supporters, listeners, and allies.<br>
It encourages families across India to attend together, turning Women’s Day into a shared experience rather than a symbolic gesture.</p>
<p><strong>India’s Entertainment Scene Evolves</strong></p>
<p>With initiatives like Bachpan Se 55, India’s entertainment industry is clearly evolving — moving toward inclusive, story-driven, and culturally rooted experiences.</p>
<p>Events are no longer just about performance.<br>
They are about perspective.</p>
<p>And Akadeet Entertainment is emerging as one of the young forces shaping this new national narrative.</p>

Adding to the national appreciation, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Ji also congratulated the team and extended his best wishes for the film’s success, acknowledging its contribution to commemorating an important milestone.</p>

        <title>BandBaajaBitiya Sparks a Nationwide Cultural Conversation on Strength and Dignity</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/bandbaajabitiya-sparks-a-nationwide-cultural-conversation-on-strength-and-dignity</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/bandbaajabitiya-sparks-a-nationwide-cultural-conversation-on-strength-and-dignity</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-23-2-26-5.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt=""></p><p><span><strong>New Delhi [India], February 23</strong>:</span> At the heart of BandBaajaBitiya lies a deeply moving story about courage, dignity, and redefining honour. More than just a film, it is a powerful social narrative that challenges long-held conventions and reframes what true strength looks like within Indian families. By shifting the lens from silent endurance to vocal support, the campaign opens up an urgent and emotional conversation about standing beside one’s daughter when it matters most.</p>
<p>The film features veteran actor Gajraj Rao, whose restrained and deeply evocative performance anchors the narrative. He portrays a father navigating societal pressure and internal conflict, ultimately choosing conviction over compliance. With minimal dialogue and powerful expressions, his performance captures the quiet intensity of a parent torn between tradition and truth. His portrayal transforms the story from a scripted film into a lived emotional experience that resonates across generations.</p>
<p>Since its launch, BandBaajaBitiya has rapidly gained momentum across digital platforms, striking a chord with audiences nationwide. What began as a cinematic narrative has evolved into a widely shared social conversation. The film has travelled organically across timelines, WhatsApp groups, and digital communities, sparking dialogue around dignity, empowerment, and the evolving meaning of honour in contemporary India. Its emotional depth has encouraged viewers to engage not just as spectators but as participants in the message.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-101289 aligncenter" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-23-2-26-1-2.jpg" alt="BandBaajaBitiya " width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p>The initiative was driven with a strong vision under Brand Director Sandeep Goel, who championed the idea of using storytelling as a vehicle for meaningful cultural dialogue. The campaign reflects a conscious shift toward purpose-driven narratives that move beyond surface-level messaging and instead engage with deeply rooted societal themes.</p>
<p>The concept was shaped and brought to life by O.R. Radhakrishnan and Sneh Nihalani in association with Wisteria Media, who crafted a narrative that transforms a familiar cultural symbol, the wedding procession, into a powerful act of assertion. Instead of celebration, the baraat becomes a visual metaphor for reclaiming dignity. Their storytelling approach blends cultural authenticity with progressive thought, ensuring the message feels organic rather than instructional. The result is a film that challenges norms while remaining emotionally grounded.</p>
<p>Directed by Film Director Prosit Roy and produced by The Unicorn Films, the execution brings cinematic depth and realism to the story. The visual language is intimate yet impactful, capturing subtle emotional shifts that elevate the narrative. Each frame is thoughtfully composed to build tension, empathy, and ultimately catharsis. The direction ensures that the film remains sensitive, powerful, and immersive from start to finish.</p>
<p>The campaign’s impact extended further when it was acknowledged by prominent voices across the country. Smriti Irani, in a widely shared LinkedIn post, reflected on how daughters have long been told to endure silently in the name of family honour, emphasising that silence and suffering cannot be passed off as tradition. Her words echoed the core sentiment of the film, that real honour lies in families standing firmly beside their daughters. The film also garnered appreciation from Rajkummar Rao and Shobhaa De, amplifying its reach and reinforcing its cultural relevance.</p>
<p>The effective amplification of the campaign was led y Dinakar Menon, the managing partner of BigTrunk Communications, an integrated advertising agency, ensuring strategic visibility across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other digital channels. Beginning 18th February, the rollout included platform-specific adaptations, influencer integrations, and targeted dissemination across key markets. This structured multi-platform approach enabled sustained engagement and ensured the narrative reached diverse audience segments at scale.</p>
<p>BandBaajaBitiya stands today as more than a film. It is a cultural moment. By combining emotional storytelling, strong performances, thoughtful direction, and strategic amplification, the campaign has successfully sparked a nationwide dialogue. It redefines strength not as silence but as support, and not as tradition blindly followed but as dignity consciously upheld.</p>

        <title>Mahesh Kale Live with the Budapest Scoring Orchestra Creates History at NMACC</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-23-2-26-2-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Mahesh Kale"></p><p><span><strong>New Delhi [India], February 23:</strong> </span>Some evenings do not end when the lights dim. They linger… in memory, in silence, in the soft ache of something beautiful passing by. One such historic evening unfolded at The Grand Theatre at Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC), where a full house gathered for <em>Mahesh Kale Live with the Budapest Scoring Orchestra</em> – a landmark musical concert that brought National Award-winning Hindustani classical vocalist Mahesh Kale together with the Budapest Scoring Orchestra, marking a first-of-its-kind confluence of Indian Classical music and a full Western symphonic orchestra.</p>
<p>The evening opened with Mahesh Kale seeking the blessings of his late Guru Pandit Jitendra Abhisheki, and the audience, before beginning the concert with a meditative solo exposition in ‘Raag Jog’. As the next presentation unfolded, the Budapest Scoring Orchestra gently entered, not overpowering, but embracing the music’s emotional landscape with sensitivity and restraint. What followed was a rare and seamless union, where Indian melody and Western harmony listened to each other, responded to each other, and rose together.</p>
<p>The programme journeyed through an expansive and thoughtfully curated repertoire from pure classical forms arranged symphonically to semi-classical gems, raga malas, abhangs and original compositions by Mahesh Kale. The evening featured pieces such as ‘Lagi Kalejava Katar’, ‘Chaap Tilak’, ‘He Suranno Chandra Vha’, ‘Janaki Nath’ and ‘Jheeni Re Jheeni’, among others, each receiving full-bodied orchestral support while retaining its Indian soul.</p>
<p>Based in San Francisco and widely regarded for his ability to bridge tradition and contemporary audiences, Mahesh Kale has consistently expanded the performance vocabulary of Indian Classical music without compromising its core. This collaboration with the Budapest Scoring Orchestra represents his most ambitious orchestral exploration yet. Speaking about the collaboration, Kale shared, “The idea began with my music director friend Rahul Ranade, who suggested an interesting collaboration between Indian classical music and a Western symphony – something that hadn’t been done before. With Kamlesh Bhadkamkar, an accomplished musician and arranger with a strong command over symphonic scoring, joining the team, the project began to take shape.”</p>
<p>What made the feat even more extraordinary was the fact that Mahesh Kale and the Budapest Scoring Orchestra had met just three days before the performance! Yet, the synchronicity on stage suggested years of shared musical understanding. Based in Central Europe, the acclaimed Budapest Scoring Orchestra brings together centuries of European musical heritage with state-of-the-art analog and digital recording facilities. Speaking about the collaboration, orchestra CEO Balint Sapzson noted, “This is our very first time doing 100% Classical Indian music. This form of collaboration between Indian classical music and Western symphony, I understand, is something new, and that made it incredibly exciting for us!”</p>
<p>The music conductor of the Budapest Scoring Orchestra George Gulyas-Nagy echoed this sentiment, highlighting the unspoken musical bond that formed almost instantly. “We come from completely different systems… rhythm, scales, structure, yet we understood each other without words. Music truly is an international language. Mahesh Kale is not only immensely talented, but also extremely professional, which made this collaboration natural and effortless.”</p>
<p>As the evening drew to a close, Mahesh Kale reflected softly, “Happy moments are fleeting.”And fleeting indeed was this magical night… He concluded the concert with a moving gratitude song to Lord Vitthal, followed by the song ‘Kanada Raja Pandharicha’, inviting the audience to sing along. The audience then came forward to pay their respects, bridging not just musical traditions, but cultures, geographies and hearts.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-23-2-26-2.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="DeepSnitch"></p><p dir="ltr"><strong>New Delhi [India], February 23: </strong>Nearly one year after DeepSeek shocked markets by building ChatGPT-level AI at 90% lower cost, China’s efficiency-first approach proved you don’t need massive compute budgets to compete.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Chinese AI models now hold 15% global market share while Goldman Sachs predicts $500 billion flowing into AI investment this year.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The narrative shifted from raw spending to smart execution, and crypto projects shipping efficient AI tools at presale prices are capturing that efficiency premium.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=top-crypto-presale-in-february-2026-deepsnitch-ai-hyper-sui-onexfer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> is the top crypto presale that smart money is stacking for 100x to 200x returns. With four live AI agents already operational and presale pricing still at $0.04064, this is the top crypto presale in the AI sector for traders hunting parabolic gains.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">China’s AI dominance confirms efficiency over computing</h2>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSeek launched in early 2025 and completely destroyed the narrative that you need massive budgets to build competitive AI, proving China could match GPT-4 performance at 90% lower training costs using the same H100 chips everyone else uses. The whole expensive compute dominance thesis got wrecked overnight when efficiency beat raw spending.</p>
<p dir="ltr">One year later, Zhipu released <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/chinas-ai-startup-zhipu-releases-new-flagship-model-glm-5-2026-02-11/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GLM-5 in February 2026</a>, claiming the top open-source position on Artificial Analysis benchmarks, while Alibaba released a massive Qwen upgrade designed for AI agent tasks that can analyze videos up to two hours long.</p>
<p dir="ltr">China keeps proving that smart execution beats burning billions on compute, and traders are finally catching on to the efficiency narrative winning.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The top presale crypto projects capturing this efficiency narrative are AI projects proving products work before asking for capital.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Top crypto presale projects for February 2026</h2>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI: Working AI products at discounted prices</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">While China proves AI efficiency narratives, <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=top-crypto-presale-in-february-2026-deepsnitch-ai-hyper-sui-onexfer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> shipped four working AI agents during presale at $0.04064 pricing. Early investors who entered at $0.01510 launch are sitting on 169% gains before $DSNT even lists on exchanges. Over $1.67 million raised from smart money positioning before the institutional discovery pushed the token higher.</p>
<p dir="ltr">SnitchFeed delivers real-time whale alerts and momentum signals before price confirms moves. SnitchScan tracks on-chain flows across multiple networks simultaneously.</p>
<p dir="ltr">SnitchGPT answers any crypto question instantly using an LLM trained specifically on blockchain data. AuditSnitch scans smart contracts automatically and flags honeypots, rugs, and malicious code before you connect your wallet.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The platform launched with a live dashboard you can use today. Dual audits from Coinsult and Solid Proof verified that the smart contracts are clean, eliminating the rug risk that plagues most presales.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Rumors are spreading fast about top-tier exchange listings already locked in, which explains why whales are dropping six-figure bags at presale prices before the official announcement triggers absolute chaos and everyone panic-buys at 10x higher.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://youtu.be/W3fgTnPVEOI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/W3fgTnPVEOI</a></p>
<ol start="2">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">HyperSui</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">HyperSui is building a perpetual DEX on Sui, and their presale tokens are going for $0.03087 right now. They’re targeting a $0.09 listing in Q1 2026, which gives you about 2.9x from presale to exchange. Not bad for trending early-stage coins if you’re betting on Sui’s DeFi ecosystem growing. The platform raised $3.3 million and ranks among growth-stage tokens with a legit infrastructure thesis and audited security.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Sui ecosystem is expanding rapidly and needs native DEX infrastructure to consolidate fragmented liquidity. But 2.9x upside is good for beginners and caps the wealth creation potential when you compare that to top presale crypto projects offering 100x to 200x with working products already shipped.</p>
<ol start="3">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">OneXfer</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">OneXfer blends DeFi, AI, and fiat interoperability to solve cross-border payment friction. The project enables crypto to bank account transfers, which taps into the massive remittance market where traditional rails charge excessive fees and settlement takes days.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The trending early-stage coins narrative around cross-border payments is solid because real-world adoption exists.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Presale price sits at $0.0009 with a projected listing at $0.153, delivering 170x returns if the team hits that target.</p>
<p dir="ltr">OneXfer sits among growth-stage tokens, solving genuine problems with working technology. So it is a safe bet if you want to enter for a good ROI.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion: DeepSnitch AI is the top crypto presale for 2026</h2>
<p dir="ltr">China’s AI surge with DeepSeek, Alibaba, ByteDance, and Zhipu proves efficiency narratives dominate over raw compute spending, validating projects like DeepSnitch AI that ship working AI tools at presale prices.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It has four agents working live, scanning for rugs, tracking whales,and  answering questions, all operational today. Then you’ve got these limited-time bonus codes multiplying entries by up to 4x before listings.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If you’re chasing the top crypto presale, DeepSnitch AI is the only AI crypto project worth going maximum conviction on right now.</p>

        <title>Understanding TOFI and Heart Risk with Dr. Pavan Patel – Cardiologist – Shraddha Multispeciality Hospital Surat</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/understanding-tofi-and-heart-risk-with-dr-pavan-patel-cardiologist-shraddha-multispeciality-hospital-surat-15799</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/understanding-tofi-and-heart-risk-with-dr-pavan-patel-cardiologist-shraddha-multispeciality-hospital-surat-15799</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-21-2-26-4.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Pavan"></p><p><strong>Surat (Gujarat) [India], February 21: </strong>Many people appear slim, healthy, and fit. Their body weight and BMI are also within the normal range. However, inside the body—especially around the abdominal organs—there may be an excessive accumulation of visceral fat. This condition is scientifically known as TOFI – Thin Outside, Fat Inside.</p>
<p><strong>This fat is not visible externally, but metabolically it can be highly dangerous</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>What is TOFI?</strong></p>
<p>1. Normal body weight and BMI</p>
<p>2. Slim appearance from the outside</p>
<p>3. Excess fat around internal abdominal organs</p>
<p>4. Higher risk of metabolic diseases</p>
<p><strong>Key Understanding:</strong> The belief that “normal weight means healthy” is proven wrong in TOFI.</p>
<p><strong>Why is Visceral Fat Dangerous?</strong></p>
<p>-Visceral fat accumulates directly around vital organs such as the liver, pancreas, heart, and intestines. It interferes with hormonal balance and insulin function.</p>
<p><strong>As a result, it can lead to:</strong></p>
<p>1. Insulin resistance</p>
<p>2. Type 2 diabetes</p>
<p>3. Fatty liver (NAFLD)</p>
<p>4. High blood pressure</p>
<p>5. Elevated triglycerides</p>
<p>6. Heart disease<br>
<strong> </strong><br>
<strong>Many people are suddenly diagnosed with diabetes or heart problems because they appear fit externally and therefore do not undergo regular health checkups.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Who Should Be Especially Careful?</strong></p>
<p>1. Individuals who sit for long hours</p>
<p>2. Those who do not exercise regularly</p>
<p>3. People consuming high amounts of carbohydrates and sweets</p>
<p>4. Slim individuals with a protruding abdomen</p>
<p>5. Family history of diabetes or heart disease</p>
<p><strong>Essential Tests to Identify TOFI</strong></p>
<p>1. Waist circumference:</p>
<p>Men: > 90 cm</p>
<p>Women: > 80 cm</p>
<p>2. Waist–Hip Ratio</p>
<p>3. Lipid Profile (elevated triglycerides)</p>
<p>4. HbA1c</p>
<p>5. Liver Function Test (indicator of fatty liver)</p>
<p>6. Ultrasound Abdomen</p>
<p>7. Body Fat % / Visceral Fat measurement (BIA machine)</p>
<p><strong>Hidden Signs (Not Easily Visible)</strong></p>
<p>1. Fat around the abdomen</p>
<p>2. Fatigue and low energy</p>
<p>3. Abnormal lipid profile</p>
<p>4. Changes in liver function tests</p>
<p>5. Borderline HbA1c</p>
<p><strong>How to Prevent TOFI?</strong></p>
<p>1. Improve Diet</p>
<p>– Reduce white rice, refined flour, potatoes, and sweets</p>
<p>– Increase protein intake: lentils, green gram, chickpeas, paneer, eggs</p>
<p>– Eat more green vegetables and salads</p>
<p>– Replace wheat with millets like jowar, bajra, and ragi</p>
<p>– Avoid sugar and cold drinks</p>
<p>– Avoid Junk food</p>
<p>– Avoid food with preservatives and artificial ingredients</p>
<p>– Avoid alcohol and smoking</p>
<p>2. Regular Exercise (Very Important)</p>
<p>– Brisk walking for 45 minutes daily</p>
<p>– Strength training 4 days a week</p>
<p>– Core exercises: planks, crunches</p>
<p>– Yoga and Surya Namaskar</p>
<p>3. Lifestyle Modification</p>
<p>– 7–8 hours of sleep</p>
<p>– Stress management</p>
<p>– Avoid prolonged sitting</p>
<p><strong>Important Message:</strong></p>
<p>TOFI is a “silent risk.” Looking fit externally is not enough. Waist measurement, lipid profile, and liver screening should be done regularly.</p>
<p><strong>Remember: </strong>“Being slim does not guarantee good health.”</p>
<p><strong>Final Advice</strong>:</p>
<p>If you are slim but have a protruding abdomen, or if you have a family history of diabetes or heart disease, get the above tests done and begin lifestyle modifications today.</p>
<p>With proper awareness and preventive care, hidden risks like TOFI can be effectively</p>

In this interview, he shares insights on how AI, predictive analytics, and privacy-first frameworks are transforming CPS<a name="_GoBack"></a> and CPL models, the growing power of regional digital audiences, and how technology-led transparency is redefining trust in performance marketing.</p>
<p><strong>1.The digital marketing ecosystem is evolving rapidly with AI and automation. How do you see technology reshaping performance marketing models like CPS and CPL in the next 3–5 years?</strong></p>
<p>Performance marketing is being revolutionised by AI and automation by making CPS and CPL models more efficient and easier to measure. In the next three to five years, machine learning will help improve rapid bidding processes, provide improved ways to segment target audiences, and allow for more intelligent optimization across different channels on an ongoing basis. In particular, we will see an increasing focus on providing outcome-based campaigns, as algorithms continue to enhance the ability to convert customers and decrease the overall cost of acquiring new customers. In addition, as attribution will become more accurate, companies will be able to assess their actual performance across all touchpoints. AdCounty Media considers AI to be an enabling technology that will provide scalable, data driven growth with transparency and consistent ROI for our partners.</p>
<p><strong>2.With increasing focus on ROI-driven campaigns, how can brands balance performance metrics with long-term brand building in a CPS/CPL framework?</strong></p>
<p>Performance can no longer exist separately from brand loyalty; they should be seen as complementary. The focus of CPS and CPL is on measurable results, while true growth is driven by long-term brand trust and recall. By utilising storytelling, content, and engagement in conjunction with performance-driven frameworks, brands can balance these two outcomes. For instance, awareness campaigns targeting the upper-funnel will create a pool of qualified audience members available for use in the lower-funnel performance. Performance-based data from campaigns allows brands to further evolve their messaging. At AdCounty Media, we work with clients on developing full funnel strategies so that brand equity can improve conversion performance and that short-term ROI can grow concurrently with long-term customer relationships, rather than working against each other.</p>
<p><strong>3.Ad fraud and data transparency remain major concerns in performance marketing. What measures should companies adopt to build trust and accountability in digital campaigns?</strong></p>
<p>Trust is the key to performance-based marketing, and trust is built on a foundation of accurate reporting and transparency. Companies require verification tools to help prevent ad fraud, monitor ads in real time, and have a rigorous partner vetting process in order to create an effective reporting and trackable environment. Third-party audits will assist in maintaining accountability, while well-defined reporting methodologies will help to create a strong level of trust. AdCounty Media’s investment in fraud detection technologies, transparent attribution models, and a focus on providing clean traffic sources demonstrate our commitment to establishing long-term client relationships through measurable results achieved through open communication.</p>
<p>As the industry continues to grow, those companies that implement sound governance standards and ethical business practices will be recognized as reputable for being credible players. For all parties in this ecosystem (brands, publishers, and consumers), a truly transparent ecosystem leads to an environment where real performance can take place and sustainable growth is possible.</p>
<p><strong>4.With third-party cookies being phased out, how will first-party data and privacy-focused strategies impact affiliate and performance marketing models?</strong></p>
<p>As we shift away from third-party cookies and towards privacy-centric marketing, first-party data will be integral to how affiliate and performance efforts can operate with more meaningful and consent-based interactions. Brands with strong customer relationships and sufficient amounts of credible data will have greater accuracy in targeting and higher conversion rates. The growing importance of contextual advertising and Predictive modelling can not be overlooked as well. At Adcounty Media, we have established partnerships with organisations focused on compliance with data practices, and supporting the integrity of their infrastructure; thus develop performance marketing by delivering transparency and trust to consumers alongside customer privacy and compliance with changing regulations.</p>
<p><strong>5.India’s digital consumption is expanding beyond metro cities. How are regional trends and vernacular content influencing campaign strategies today?</strong></p>
<p>The continued growth of digital in India is largely being driven by regional audiences (e.g., people living in non-metro), who prefer communicating with brands in their mother tongue, making Vernacular content a necessary tool for marketers looking to reach and engage with their target audiences effectively. Campaigns that reflect local culture, local behaviour and local preferences, outperform campaigns that do not reflect this. Adcounty media leverages our partnerships with regional publishers, regional influencers and hyper-local targeting, to create customised strategies to optimise the relevance of our clients’ campaign efforts. By combining extensive reach with improved conversion rates, the digital adoption boom throughout Bharat presents brands that localize their messaging and creative with tremendous new growth opportunities.</p>
<p><strong>6.AI-powered tools are optimizing targeting and personalization. How can businesses leverage predictive analytics to improve campaign conversions and customer acquisition costs?</strong></p>
<p>Through predictive analytics, businesses are moving from being reactive to proactive with their marketing strategies via analysing historic behaviour and real-time signals in order for artificial intelligence (AI) to identify forecasted users likely to convert based on their actions and use that information as an accurate way of allocating budget toward advertising. This creates a more accurate way of targeting customers; reduces wasted advertising costs; and lowers customer acquisition costs. Automated recommendations also aid in optimising both creative and digital channels at a faster rate. At AdCounty Media we leverage data science to continuously fine-tune our campaign strategies in order to deliver superior results to our clients. We use data science to guess what’s next and make messages that feel personal. Predictive models help us get better at turning clicks into customers without spending too much.</p>
<p><strong>7.As someone with over two decades of experience across finance, sales, and digital media, how has your cross-functional background influenced the way you approach scalable growth in performance marketing?</strong></p>
<p>My experience across many fields has shaped my approach to growth which I present with strategy and execution in mind. In finance I learned the value of discipline around profit and risk management which sales taught me to put the customer forward in all we do. Digital media gave me the chance to be flexible and come up with solutions very quickly. What I do is bring those three perspectives together to create sustainable growth which stands the test of time as opposed to going for quick wins. At AdCounty Media we are into creating real value through building strong partnerships and implementing technology which improves what we do. We have a cross functional approach which we use to develop a balanced, accountable growth strategy that also plays into the long term stakeholder interest. This is key in our performance marketing strategy.</p>
<p><strong>8.Looking ahead, what emerging trends or innovations – such as influencer commerce, programmatic buying, or performance-driven creator partnerships – will define the next phase of digital marketing in India?</strong></p>
<p>Digital marketing in India is growing because of better online shopping and a bigger group of content creators. Influencer marketing, targeted ads, and when creators work with brands to get specific results are all helping to make marketing more responsible and easier to track. At AdCounty Media, we bring tech, data, and creativity together to make campaigns that grab attention and get results. We use advanced analytics and programmatic tools to help brands meet the right people at the right moment, turning content into real business wins.</p>
<p><strong>9.With Adcounty Media’s IPO journey, how do you plan to leverage the listing to accelerate technological innovation and expand your performance marketing capabilities?</strong></p>
<p>This marks an important milestone for us, as the IPO allows us to have the capital and credibility to drive innovation. We will continue to develop our technology infrastructure by investing heavily in AI-powered solutions and utilizing advanced analytics in order to create successful campaigns. Listing will enable us to create further partnership options, access to new markets and build our existing talent pool. The investments we will make will contribute positively to the added value of our clients and support us in providing responsible growth. Our efforts at AdCounty Media remain focused on the development of long-term sustainable solutions that improve performance. The IPO provides us with a strong foundation from which to pursue long-term growth with discipline and a visionary strategy.</p>
<p><strong>10.How will going public enhance transparency, governance, and investor confidence, especially in a performance-driven digital marketing business model like CPS and CPL?</strong></p>
<p>Being listed on the stock market will help us keep our promise to be open, honest, and responsible. As a public company, we will have to follow rules and regulations and report on our finances more carefully through stricter auditing processes. This will help build trust in our business with all of our stakeholders. Stakeholder confidence is especially important in the performance marketing space because accountability and measurable results are key success factors. By offering complete and transparent disclosure and using a strong governance structure, we will provide confidence to our clients, partners and investors to trust our operations.Goingpublic is not only AdCounty Media’s financial goal but also offers us the chance to build lasting business partnerships and improve our reputation. In the end, we believe that greater openness will lead to steady expansion and ongoing leadership in performance marketing.</p>
<p>As digital ecosystems grow more intelligent, measurable, and privacy-centric, the future of performance marketing will belong to organizations that combine innovation with accountability. Aditya Jangid emphasizes that sustainable growth lies in balancing short-term ROI with long-term brand equity, backed by strong governance and data-driven strategy. Following its successful public listing, AdCounty Media is now focused on accelerating technological investments, strengthening partnerships, and setting new benchmarks for transparency, efficiency, and performance in India’s evolving digital marketing landscape.</p>

        <title>KĀRYA: India’s First Museum&amp;Scale Fashion &amp;amp; Craft Platform Launches in Mumbai This April</title>

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/karya-indias-first-museum-scale-fashion-craft-platform-launches-in-mumbai-this-april</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-23-2-26-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="KĀRYA"></p><p dir="ltr"><em>Two-day cultural showcase brings together master artisans, global fashion houses, and rare textile archives at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya</em></p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 23: </strong>This April, Mumbai becomes home to something India has never seen before. KĀRYA, a museum-scale platform dedicated to fashion, craft, and textile heritage, opens at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya on April 4–5, 2026.</p>
<p dir="ltr">An initiative by Vivz Fashion School, curated in partnership with the Government, KĀRYA positions Indian craftsmanship with the institutional authority it has always deserved; not as raw material for global fashion, but as the origin point of luxury itself.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For the first time, Indian craft traditions are presented within a formal museum and archival framework. KĀRYA brings together master artisans, leading international fashion houses, rare archival collections, and heritage institutions under one roof. The result is a meticulously curated experience that places Indian textiles alongside fine art; live demonstrations alongside museum vitrines; and centuries-old techniques alongside contemporary design.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The platform culminates in the KĀRYA Fashion Gala, an invitation-only evening that gathers twenty international fashion brands, cultural leaders, and celebrity guests for a convergence of fashion, art, music, and cultural diplomacy at a scale rarely witnessed in India. Select works from KĀRYA will enter government collections and national archives, ensuring its cultural impact extends far beyond the two-day platform.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Why India, Why Now</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Indian textiles have shaped global luxury cultures for centuries. Handwoven fabrics, embroidery traditions, and sustainable practices such as Khadi; the world’s first sustainable textile; have informed fashion across continents. Yet the narrative has often been authored elsewhere.</p>
<p dir="ltr">KĀRYA reclaims that narrative. Curated by Vivz Fashion School, and enabled through strategic government partnerships, institutional alliances, and access to royal lineages across India and internationally, the platform reasserts India’s rightful place within global fashion history. It introduces rarely seen textile works and artefacts of exceptional historical significance to an international audience.</p>
<p dir="ltr">India’s creative economy is accelerating. Its artisan communities are being rediscovered by leading fashion houses worldwide. And its luxury consumer base is maturing rapidly. KĀRYA arrives at a moment when India’s cultural capital is ready to be formally institutionalised on a global stage.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">What Is KĀRYA</h3>
<p dir="ltr">KĀRYA is a museum-calibre curatorial platform that traces the journey from artistic conception to enduring luxury. It brings together master artisans, global designers, heritage institutions, and archival collections to demonstrate how ideas take form; how techniques are transmitted through generations; and how mastery transforms material into cultural expression.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The platform unfolds across two days.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Day 1; April 4, 2026. A formal inauguration attended by cultural leaders and dignitaries, followed by a closed VVIP and international media preview. Public access begins in the afternoon, featuring guided walkthroughs of thematic environments representing state-linked craft traditions, live artisan demonstrations, and select museum-quality works available for acquisition.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Day 2; April 5, 2026. Final morning viewing hours, followed by the invitation-only KĀRYA Fashion Gala in the evening. The Gala brings together twenty curated international fashion brands, each hosting reserved circles of celebrity guests, global influencers, and HNI patrons. The evening features blue-carpet arrivals, designer-styled moments, private exhibition walkthroughs, and live performances; a convergence of fashion, art, music, and cultural diplomacy at an unprecedented scale.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Fashion Meets Art & Culture</h3>
<p dir="ltr">KĀRYA operates at the intersection of fashion, fine art, and cultural preservation. Textiles are presented as collectible works of historical and artistic significance. Artisan demonstrations place mastery in motion. Exclusive commissions bridge heritage techniques with contemporary design language.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Sustainability anchors the platform through Khadi, connecting historical practice with modern responsibility. This is fashion elevated to the realm of art; curated, archived, and preserved for future generations.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Collaborations & Cultural Exchange</h3>
<p dir="ltr">KĀRYA is made possible through partnerships with government bodies, heritage institutions, royal families, and global fashion houses. Twenty international fashion brands serve as official partners for the KĀRYA Fashion Gala, each contributing their own networks, narratives, and cultural dialogues.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The curatorial team, led by Vivz Fashion School, has secured access to rare textile archives, royal collections, and artisan communities across India and internationally. These collaborations ensure the presentation of works with exceptional provenance, authenticity, and cultural value.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Leadership Perspective</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Dr. Arti Rai, Founder & Director, Vivz Fashion School, states;</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="ltr">“This is about repositioning an entire ecosystem. Indian artisans have been the invisible hands behind global luxury for generations. KĀRYA makes those hands visible; and celebrated. We are creating a platform where a master weaver from Varanasi commands the same attention as an established couturier from Paris. That is not aspiration; it is recognition of what has always been true.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="ltr">Mr. Vivek Pawar, Founder & Director, Vivz Fashion School, adds;</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="ltr">“KĀRYA was designed to function as cultural infrastructure. Museums give us institutional weight. Government partnerships give us archival access. Fashion houses give us global reach. And artisans give us authenticity. When all four come together, the result is not merely an event, but a long-term platform capable of supporting Indian craft on the world stage for decades.”</p>
</blockquote>

        <title>After Bangalore Success, IND Classifieds Targets Hyderabad and Telugu Markets with AI&amp;Powered Verified Marketplace</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/after-bangalore-success-ind-classifieds-targets-hyderabad-and-telugu-markets-with-ai-powered-verified-marketplace</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/after-bangalore-success-ind-classifieds-targets-hyderabad-and-telugu-markets-with-ai-powered-verified-marketplace</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2-35.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="After Bangalore Success, IND Classifieds Targets Hyderabad and Telugu Markets with AI-Powered Verified Marketplace-PNN"></p><p><span><strong>Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], February 23:</strong> </span>Following its strong performance in Bangalore’s competitive digital marketplace ecosystem, <strong>IND Classifieds</strong> is now accelerating its expansion into <strong>Hyderabad and the broader Telugu states</strong>, bringing its AI-powered, trust-focused classifieds platform to one of India’s fastest-growing regional economies.</p>
<p>As India’s online marketplace ecosystem continues rapid expansion — with the digital marketplace sector projected to cross <strong>USD 110+ billion by 2030</strong> — regional business hubs like Hyderabad are emerging as key growth engines. Telangana ranks among the top states in <strong>digital payment adoption and service-sector growth</strong>, making it a strategic market for verified online commerce.</p>
<p><strong>Bangalore Performance Validates the Model</strong></p>
<p>Since its launch in Bangalore, IND Classifieds has gained early traction among SMEs, individual sellers, and business users by introducing:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>AI-driven real-time listing verification</li>
<li>Fraud and duplicate detection algorithms</li>
<li>Smart buyer-seller matchmaking</li>
<li>Structured B2B onboarding tools</li>
</ul>
<p>The company reports increasing engagement levels and improved listing authenticity — validating its technology-first approach before expanding into new markets.</p>
<p>Hyderabad’s strong IT base, real estate activity, automobile trade, startup ecosystem, and SME density make it one of India’s most dynamic classified markets. Telangana’s service sector contributes over <strong>60% of the state GDP</strong>, reflecting high business activity and digital participation.</p>
<p>Recognizing this opportunity, IND Classifieds is positioning Hyderabad as its next major expansion hub — with plans to support:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Real estate listings</li>
<li>Used vehicle marketplace</li>
<li>Job and recruitment categories</li>
<li>Service providers</li>
<li>SME & B2B trade listings</li>
<li>Manufacturers and distributors</li>
</ul>
<p>Founder <strong>Kakumanu Ravi Chandra</strong> emphasized the platform’s differentiated approach:</p>
<p>“Digital marketplaces must move beyond volume and focus on verification. Our Bangalore experience showed that users value safety and credibility. Hyderabad’s entrepreneurial ecosystem makes it a natural next destination for structured, AI-verified growth.”</p>
<p>Co-Founder <strong>Bollineni V. Narendra</strong>, who leads expansion strategy, added:</p>
<p>“Telangana and Andhra Pradesh have a powerful SME and trader community. Our goal is to empower businesses with verified visibility and help them generate credible leads — not just listings.”</p>
<p>IND Classifieds integrates:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>AI-based listing screening before publication</li>
<li>Behavioral fraud detection systems</li>
<li>Duplicate listing elimination</li>
<li>Location-based smart visibility</li>
<li>Human moderation oversight</li>
</ul>
<p>This hybrid model aims to reduce transaction risks — a common challenge in traditional online classifieds.</p>
<p>Unlike generic listing portals, IND Classifieds is entering the Telugu region with a <strong>region-focused strategy</strong>, aligning with local business communities, startups, and trade ecosystems.</p>
<p>With proven traction in Bangalore and strong market indicators in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, the company aims to establish itself as a <strong>trusted digital commerce partner for Hyderabad and beyond</strong>.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-23-2-26-3.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Travel Seasons"></p><p><span><strong>New Delhi [India], February 23</strong>: </span>In today’s fast-moving travel industry, where everything is going digital, senior travellers often find themselves in need of a travel company where a real person answers their questions, addresses their doubts, and helps them understand their destination. Someone trustworthy and ready to chat whenever they wish.</p>
<p>At Travel Seasons, we deeply understand that for many seniors, travelling to a new country is not just a holiday. It is a long-cherished dream, often a once-in-a-lifetime journey. It carries years of hope and planning. When they finally take that step, they deserve nothing less than the very best: comfort without compromise and true value for the trust they place in us.</p>
<p>Our travellers have lived a life of hard work, and now is the time they have both the time and money to explore the world with freedom. At Travel Seasons, our focus is on creating the best memories for them: clicking stunning backdrop pictures, making fun reels for Instagram, and enjoying long journeys with chats and games. Travel is all about bonding. We have evening engagements on every tour to give our dancers, singers, and hidden talents a chance to shine. As one of our travellers once said, “Some journeys give us a new meaning to life.” We always strive to deliver this golden experience for our matured travellers.</p>
<p>Nishant, Founder of Travel Seasons, once beautifully shared in an interview:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“I believe travel should truly capture the beauty of shared experiences, and group journeys offer the most meaningful way to do that. I deeply value the wisdom that comes with age, and I envision travel experiences that honour the stories of our elders while giving them new adventures. Every journey should revolve around the happiness of our senior citizens.”</em></p></blockquote>
<p>We understand that travelling as a senior citizen in an increasingly digital world can be challenging. That is why we promise ease and comfort at every step. From thoughtfully planned itineraries to accessible accommodations, we prioritise your well-being so you can focus on the joys of exploring. Our Tour Managers carry not just knowledge but a passion for making your experience as enriching as possible.</p>
<p>One of the most important aspects of our philosophy is the belief that blessings hold more importance than mere profits. The blessings of our elders are everything to us. Every smile, every heartfelt blessing is a treasure we hold dear. This belief motivates us to provide an enriching experience rather than chasing monetary gain.</p>

        <title>Joint Accounts with Resident Family: Rules for NRIs and Foreign Citizens</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/joint-accounts-with-resident-family-rules-for-nris-and-foreign-citizens</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/joint-accounts-with-resident-family-rules-for-nris-and-foreign-citizens</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-21-2-26.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Joint Accounts"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 23: </strong>Moving abroad changes your relationship with India and the way you manage your finances. You can still access and manage funds in your home country as a Non-Resident Indian (NRI), but subject to specific rules. So, if you’re considering adding a resident family member to your account in India, you may want to understand the regulations for the same. Read ahead to learn about the requirements, processes, and limitations to managing your finances wisely.</p>
<p><strong>RBI regulations for NRI joint account holding</strong></p>
<p>You can choose one resident account holder to add to your NRI account. Their rights are functional, on a ‘Former or Survivor’ basis. This means you hold the right to operate the account as the primary account holder. The resident co-holder can access the account only in case of your demise.</p>
<p>If you wish to authorise a joint operation with a resident Indian while you reside overseas, you can go the Power of Attorney (PoA) route. This is a legal document that lets a trusted resident Indian to manage your NRI accounts on your behalf.</p>
<p><strong>Types of NRI accounts with the joint account permit  </strong></p>
<p>You can open these NRI accounts in India from trusted financial institutions like IDFC FIRST Bank and add an eligible resident Indian as a joint account holder:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><a href="https://www.idfcfirst.bank.in/nri-banking/nri-savings-account/nro-savings-account" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NRO account</a></strong></li>
</ul>
<p>An NRO (Non-Resident Ordinary) savings account is a rupee-dominated bank account that you maintain to manage Indian income from rent, pensions, dividends, and other such proceeds. The interest earned on this bank account is taxable in India. You can repatriate funds to your overseas account, but up to USD 1 million in a financial year.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>NRE account</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>NRE (Non-Resident External) accounts let you manage your foreign income in India. The income deposited in foreign currency is converted to INR for easy maintenance. The balance you maintain in the account is fully repatriable, and the interest earned on it is tax-free.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>FCNR account </strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Unlike NRO and NRE, FCNR (Foreign Currency Non-Resident) is a fixed deposit that you maintain in foreign currency. There is no conversion. It is maintained as received, and most banks accept all major currencies like USD, Euro, etc. The interest earned on this account is tax-free provided the residential status of person is either Non-Resident or Resident but non ordinarily Resident only as per the provisions of income tax act, and the funds are freely repatriable.</p>
<p><strong>Documentation for NRI joint account application</strong></p>
<p>You will need minimal documents when you choose IDFC FIRST Bank to get through the NRI joint account opening process:</p>
<p>As a primary account holder, you need:</p>
<ul>
<li>Accurate personal details in the NRI account opening form.</li>
<li>Valid identity proof like Passport.</li>
<li>Valid Non-Resident Proof like VISA/Resident Permit.</li>
<li>Overseas address proof like utility bills, bank statements, rental agreement, etc.</li>
<li>Valid Tax Identification Number (TIN) of current country of Tax residence.</li>
</ul>
<p>For the resident joint account holder:</p>
<ul>
<li>Identity proof like Passport/Driver’s Licence/Voter ID/Letter issued by the National population register.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Process to set up an NRI joint account</strong></p>
<p>You can open an <strong><a href="https://www.idfcfirst.bank.in/nri-banking/nri-savings-account" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NRI savings account</a></strong> with resident joint account holder  just like you would a regular resident account. The process involves the following steps:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Choose your preferred bank: </strong>Compare features like high interest, dedicated relationship manager, etc., from banks like IDFC FIRST Bank to make an informed selection.</li>
<li><strong>Select type of account: </strong>You can choose the account type you want to start with by understanding the features and your immediate needs for fund management.</li>
<li><strong>Fill in the account opening form: </strong>Fill in your basic details and select the option to add a joint holder and provide their name, contact, and address information.</li>
<li><strong>Upload documents: </strong>Submit the required documents – Identity Proof, Non-Resident Proof and Address Proof for the main account holder.</li>
<li><strong>Submit Declaration: </strong>When resident Indian is being added in the account as a joint holder a declaration confirming the relationship with the account holder is required to be submitted mandatorily.</li>
<li><strong>Complete verification and activate account: </strong>Once your details are verified, the bank will send you the confirmation message, and you can often activate your account right away to start using it swiftly.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Final words </strong></p>
<p>Joint NRI account opening allows you to assign a nominee to your account for management of your finances after your demise. Power of attorney is one more way of assigning rights to operate your accounts in India. In this case, you must assign a close relative with appropriate documents. Both modes involve simple steps. Banks simplify the process through a dedicated relationship manager to guide you through the rules.</p>

        <title>Best Crypto Presale: DeepSnitch AI Surges Past USD 1.67M After Showing Off Its AI&amp;Powered Dashboard, OPZ and SUBBD Attract New Fans</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-3-19.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Best Crypto Presale: DeepSnitch AI Surges Past USD 1.67M After Showing Off Its AI-Powered Dashboard, OPZ and SUBBD Attract New Fans-PNN"></p><p dir="ltr">Polymarket, more precisely, its Netherlands branch, was ordered by the Netherlands Gambling Authority to cease all operations or face $990K in fines over unlicensed gambling.</p>
<p dir="ltr">On February 20, the crypto market saw a small bounce, but the volatility remains high as bearish sentiment takes over.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As a result, presale projects are trending, with <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presale-deepsnitch-ai-surges-past-%241.67m-after-showing-off-its-ai-powered-dashboard-opz-and-subbd-attract-new-fans" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> logging $1.67M and releasing a preview of its working AI agent dashboard.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Often referred to as the best crypto presale, the community expects to see 100x gains.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Polymarket faces pushback in Europe</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The Netherlands Gambling Authority <a href="https://kansspelautoriteit.nl/last-onder-dwangsom-voor-illegaal-kansspelaanbod-polymarket" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fined Polymarket’s Dutch subsidiary</a>, Adventure One, for offering unlicensed gambling to residents.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Another legal snag for Polymarket, authorities ordered an immediate halt to activities or face up to $990K in fines. They accused Adventure One of illegal bets, including on local elections, and ignoring multiple requests to cease their operations.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Gambling Authority’s licensing director, Ella Seijsener, said, “Prediction markets are on the rise, including in the Netherlands, and these companies offer bets not permitted in our market under any circumstances, even by licensed operators.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">Polymarket faces similar state-level scrutiny in the US over sports gambling claims.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Meanwhile, DeepSnitch AI has strengthened its community’s conviction about its best crypto presale status as majors recover, but the opportunity for volatility remains high.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Top crypto presale projects</h2>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI: $DSNT set for 100x possible gains as dashboard sneak peek is released</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">With the rotation into low-cap presales in full swing, DeepSnitch is one of those early-stage investments that provides the full package.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For starters, the community conviction is hitting its peak as the presale secured over $1.67 amid the chop, and many investors believe that the DSNT coin has clear 100x potential.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The AI platform is the biggest draw, though. Not only did the team release a steady stream of developmental updates that revealed that the majority of its five AI agents are already deployed, but it also released a sneak peek of its interface.</p>
<p dir="ltr">From a single dashboard, you can find all the different analytics services that will make your daily trading a breeze. For instance, you can track sentiment shifts and early FUD in real time without leaving the dashboard.</p>
<p>Within a few clicks, you can switch to a different service and check if a token is a rug pull, or find early alpha, uncover breakout coins, or conduct fast DYOR by simply pasting the contract address into the on-board LLM.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Put all these fundamentals together, and the current price of $0.04064 is nothing short of a steal, making DeepSnitch AI one of the most robust options if you’re looking for the best crypto presale.</p>
<p dir="ltr"></p>
<ol start="2">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">OPZ: What is OPZ about?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Similar to DeepSnitch AI, OPZ is another AI project that may have what it needs to be the best crypto presale in 2026.</p>
<p>Self-custody is all the rage right now, and OPZ meets the growing demand by providing users full control over their assets while maintaining security and simplicity. How?</p>
<p>By implementing AI that supports smart help, automation, and powerful security, OPZ will allow you to maintain complete oversight of everything, while providing the “custodial service” level simplicity through AI.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Priced at $0.04667 at press time, OPZ could achieve a significant upside if its utility takes off.</p>
<ol start="3">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">SUBBD: Why is SUBBD growing?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">SUBBD is all about revolutionizing the creator economy by adding a dash of blockchain tech into the mix. Similar to the blockchain version of Patreon, the platform promises to provide top-notch AI-assisted content creation and quality-of-life upgrades such as automated live streams.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Yet, the major selling point is token-gated access to premium content.</p>
<p dir="ltr">SUBBD has already started attracting new creators and has amassed $1M in presale with the token priced at $0.0574875.</p>
<p>Overall, it may not be the best crypto presale due to its “untested” path, but it’s certainly an interesting idea.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Final words: Leverage the early buzz</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The market’s cooling off in Q1, and betting on projects with zero traction could seriously hurt your portfolio right now. With so many projects to choose from, you could technically diversify or go all in on the winning narrative.</p>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI, for instance, not only has the early momentum, but its day-to-day usability is beyond the idea stage. The AI agents are already running, and the dashboard is nearly complete, making it the best crypto presale if utility and development are a significant part of your criteria.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It could also be extra rewarding with the bonuses that pretty much seal the deal. Case in point DSNTVIP300 delivers a 300% bonus on investments of $30K and up.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Leverage the early buzz of the <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presale-deepsnitch-ai-surges-past-%241.67m-after-showing-off-its-ai-powered-dashboard-opz-and-subbd-attract-new-fans" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> presale now and keep your eye on the latest community updates on <a href="https://x.com/deepsnitchai">X</a> or <a href="https://t.me/deepsnitchofficial">Telegram</a>.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">What fines could Polymarket face in the Netherlands?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">The Netherlands Gambling Authority ordered Polymarket’s Dutch branch to stop operations or face $990K fines for unlicensed gambling.</p>
<ol start="2">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">What features does DeepSnitch AI’s dashboard preview showcase as the best crypto presale?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">The preview reveals a clean, single-dashboard interface accessing five AI agents for real-time sentiment/FUD tracking, rug pull checks, and other analytics services.</p>
<ol start="3">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">How much value do DeepSnitch AI’s presale bonuses add?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">DSNTVIP300 unlocks 300% extra tokens on $30K+ allocations, significantly boosting returns at the current entry. This translates to roughly $90K in bonus value.</p>

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/india-beat-australia-womens-t20-for-series-victory</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-21T190518.649.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="T20-pnn" decoding="async"></p><p data-start="801" data-end="1045"><strong>New Delhi [India], February 21: </strong><a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-team/india-women/97/results" target="_blank" rel="noopener">India</a> beat Australia women’s T20 in the third T20 International at the Adelaide Oval. Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues led from the front as India posted 176–6 and restricted Australia to 98–5, sealing a 17-run, series-winning performance.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="mo5043" data-start="1052" data-end="1086"><strong data-start="1056" data-end="1086">How India Built the Target</strong></h3>
<p data-start="1088" data-end="1161">India won the toss and chose to bat. That decision landed with precision.</p>
<p data-start="1163" data-end="1518">India piled up 176–6 in their allotted 20 overs. On paper, it looked strong. On the field, it proved overwhelming. Smriti Mandhana was the driving force. Blending grace with intent, the vice-captain punched and flicked her way to an unbeaten 82 off 55 balls. Eight fours and three sixes followed, leaving Australia short on answers and shorter on control.</p>
<p data-start="1520" data-end="1716">Jemimah Rodrigues finished the job with a resolute 59 off 46 balls. She didn’t just score runs. She managed phases, kept the scoreboard ticking, and steadily drained Australia’s bowling resources.</p>
<p data-start="1718" data-end="1883">By the time India reached 176, the batting effort had been smart, quick, and purposeful. Rhythm, aggression, and discipline combined into a near-perfect T20 innings.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="91ue9z" data-start="2029" data-end="2075"><strong data-start="2033" data-end="2075">Australia’s Chase: Stifled and Stalled</strong></h3>
<p data-start="2077" data-end="2176">Australia needed close to eight runs an over to stay in the contest. They never looked comfortable.</p>
<p data-start="2178" data-end="2440">Ashleigh Gardner fought hard with a determined 57, but support was minimal. Australia lost momentum early and never recovered. Tentative starts, loose execution, and India’s bowlers sticking relentlessly to their lines made every over feel heavier than the last.</p>
<p data-start="2442" data-end="2755">Shreyanka Patil was the backbone of India’s bowling performance. Her wickets came at critical moments, removing Georgia Voll, Ellyse Perry, and Annabel Sutherland. These were the breakthroughs that tilted the match decisively. Australia kept losing partners and eventually limped to 98–5 with 7.3 overs remaining.</p>
<p data-start="2757" data-end="2946">Fielding further widened the gap. India’s outfield work was sharp, catches were clean, and throws hit their mark. Australia, in contrast, missed chances and failed to shut down key moments.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="y5rd4f" data-start="3082" data-end="3111"><strong data-start="3086" data-end="3111">Standout Performances</strong></h3>
<p data-start="3113" data-end="3348"><strong data-start="3113" data-end="3132">Smriti Mandhana</strong><br data-start="3132" data-end="3135">She was everywhere. Style, precision, and authority defined her innings. The unbeaten 82 off 55 balls was the kind of knock that breaks resistance and dictates results. Player of the Match honours were inevitable.</p>
<p data-start="3350" data-end="3491"><strong data-start="3350" data-end="3371">Jemimah Rodrigues</strong><br data-start="3371" data-end="3374">No filler, all substance. Her 59 held India steady through the toughest middle overs when pressure usually creeps in.</p>
<p data-start="3493" data-end="3636"><strong data-start="3493" data-end="3512">Shreyanka Patil</strong><br data-start="3512" data-end="3515">The unsung architect of the win. Her timely wickets tightened the grip and shut Australia out. Clinical barely covers it.</p>
<p data-start="3638" data-end="3774"><strong data-start="3638" data-end="3658">Harmanpreet Kaur</strong><br data-start="3658" data-end="3661">Captaincy with intent. Field placements, bowling changes, and tactical calls all appeared measured and effective.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="b9kf45" data-start="3781" data-end="3806"><strong data-start="3785" data-end="3806">Series in Context</strong></h3>
<p data-start="3808" data-end="4040">India conquered Australia in the women’s T20 series, winning it 2–1. This matters. Australia are formidable at home, and the Adelaide Oval is no easy venue. India walked into the decider with the mindset of contenders, not visitors.</p>
<p data-start="4042" data-end="4187">After losing the second T20 in Canberra by 19 runs, India responded with clarity and conviction. This is not a side that unravels under pressure.</p>
<p data-start="4189" data-end="4302">The focus now shifts to the ODI leg in Brisbane. Australia will look for a response. India will arrive confident.</p>
<blockquote>
<p data-start="4327" data-end="4451">When India sets a target of 177 and bowls with discipline like that, “excuses” become irrelevant. — Cricket strategist</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-21-2-26-1-2.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Crypto"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 21: </strong>Despite being impeded by the Supreme Court, Trump announced 10% global tariffs, calling the ruling “ridiculous”. Tariffs, so far, have heavily affected the markets, meaning that a new wave of sell-offs could happen if the macroeconomic tailwinds turn bearish. Thus, DeepSnitch AI could be the best crypto to buy now as its presale status shields it from volatility.</p>
<p>So far, DeepSnitch AI raised $1.67M and has also released significant updates (including the sneak peek of its dashboard) on its prediction and analytics suite powered by five AI agents.</p>
<p><strong>Are new tariffs coming?</strong></p>
<p>On February 20, US President Donald Trump <a href="https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1oJMvRRqDBjxQ">announced a 10% global tariff</a> right after the Supreme Court struck down his authority to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).</p>
<p>Trump called the ruling “ridiculous” and vowed to use alternative legal tools, including the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and the Trade Act of 1974. The President stated that tariffs under Section 232 and Section 301 remain fully in place and in full force and effect.</p>
<p>Trump’s previous tariffs on Canada, Mexico (25%), and China (10%) were framed as national security measures and are believed to have contributed to sell-offs in equities and crypto markets.</p>
<p>Since this news may usher in a new wave of sell-offs, the best crypto to buy now, according to many traders, could be something in the presale sector.</p>
<h3><strong>Best coins to buy right now</strong></h3>
<p><strong>1. DeepSnitch AI interface preview released</strong></p>
<p>$DSNT highlighted as one of the leading high-growth crypto picks Friday recovery is in full swing. However, these periods have always been short-lived in Q1, which is why many traders anticipate the chop to return during the weekend. Thus, early-stage bullish setups, such as DeepSnitch AI, remain popular.</p>
<p>DeepSnitch AI, particularly, is making rounds not only for securing $1.67M and 100x-300x community predictions, but also for its utility and rapid development progress. The project revealed a preview of its dashboard, which shows off the platform’s simplicity. Built around five unified AI agents, the dashboard will allow you to access various analytics services in a few clicks. This means you can track sentiment shifts and FUD storms, find hidden gems and early alpha opportunities, and even scan tokens for rugs within a unified interface.</p>
<p>Zero friction is the main idea here, as the platform also includes an LLM-style DYOR tool that allows you to paste a token contract address for an instant risk assessment.</p>
<p>The token is currently priced at $0.04064, and the latest bonus codes provide a new layer to an already affordable package. The full range of services, robust fundamentals, and 100x-300x potential make <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-to-buy-now-deepsnitch-ai-teases-working-ai-dashboard-strengthening-the-community-100x-bets-bnb-xrp-log-small-recoveries" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> the best crypto to buy now.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>2. BNB: Can BNB recovery stick?</strong></p>
<p>According to CoinMarketCap, BNB traded around $627 on February 20. Many traders aren’t convinced that the recovery will stick, but if it reaches the $669 resistance level, a rally toward $730 could happen, with the next target set at $797.</p>
<p>While this move would technically make BNB a solid contender for the best crypto to buy now, a bearish scenario remains in play. In that case, the recovery will stall, and BNB could fall below $600 and as low as $500.</p>
<p><strong>3. XRP: What’s next for XRP?</strong></p>
<p>XRP remained around $1.42 on February 20, according to CoinMarketCap. While the coin logged a small recovery, XRP is still short of reaching the $1.50 (20-day EMA), suggesting that there isn’t much demand at the moment, especially at higher levels.</p>
<p>To start a full recovery, buyers must close above the downtrend line, but the bearish scenario is more likely. XRP could drop to the support line. Closing will confirm the bearish sentiment, opening the possibility of a drop to $1.11.</p>
<p>Nearing $1 may seem harrowing in the short term, but it also presents a nice discount. XRP may not be the best crypto to buy now, but the drop may be a solid entry point.</p>
<p><strong>Final words: Enrich your portfolio</strong></p>
<p>Friday pumps are temporary, but utility is more of a long-term play. DeepSnitch AI is not only an opportunity that can help you avoid the short-term swings (due to its presale status), it’s also the crypto that could continue growing throughout the bear market and beyond.</p>
<p>With over $1.67M in the bank and 100x-300x projections circling the community, the trajectory is secured. However, the recent development updates and the release of the dashboard preview will only strengthen the resolve of tech-focused traders and confirm DeepSnitch AI’s standing as the best crypto to buy now.</p>
<p>You can also get extra value by applying a series of bonus codes at checkout. The most interesting ones are the DSNTVIP50 code (50% bonus $5K+ allocations) or DSNTVIP300 (300% on $30K+ investments).</p>
<p>Enrich your portfolio and participate in the <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-to-buy-now-deepsnitch-ai-teases-working-ai-dashboard-strengthening-the-community-100x-bets-bnb-xrp-log-small-recoveries" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> presale.

A student of Vedantu’s <strong>3-Year Long Term Batch</strong>, Riddhesh’s journey reflects sustained academic excellence across global and national competitive platforms. He is also a <strong>Gold Medallist at IPhO 2025</strong> and <strong>Silver Medallist at APhO</strong> <strong>2025</strong>. This transition from Olympiad champion to JEE top performer is a testament to years of rigorous preparation, conceptual clarity, and expert academic mentorship.</p>
<p>Also making the Vedantu family proud is <strong>Ojas Hayatnagarkar from Karnataka</strong>, who secured <strong>99.95 percentile</strong>, along with <strong>Pranjal Jha</strong>, who also achieved <strong>99.95 percentile</strong> in the same session.</p>

<h3><strong>Blending Technology and Mentorship at Scale</strong></h3>
<p>Vedantu’s academic model combines experienced Master Teachers with proprietary learning technology to enable personalised attention across large student cohorts.</p>
<p>Vedantu has expanded its <strong>fully offline Vedantu Learning Centres (VLCs) to 75+ locations</strong> across India. Now entering their second full academic cycle, these centres continue to demonstrate strong academic outcomes in national competitive exams.</p>

        <title>The Quest for Pepper: A Brief History of Modern Spices</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/the-quest-for-pepper-a-brief-history-of-modern-spices-15773</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/the-quest-for-pepper-a-brief-history-of-modern-spices-15773</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Spices-Image.jpg.jpeg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="The Quest for Pepper: A Brief History of Modern Spices-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 21: </strong>The History of Spices is not a culinary anecdote. It is a record of appetite weaponized.</p>
<p>Black pepper was never “just” a seasoning. In late medieval Europe it functioned as currency, dowry, tax payment, ransom. The small black bead—dried fruit of <em>Piper nigrum</em>—moved north from the Malabar Coast, through Arab brokers, across Venetian counting houses, into the damp storerooms of Bruges and London. It arrived already marked up, already mythologized. By the time it reached a European table, it had accumulated miles, tariffs, and violence.</p>
<p>That is the part people prefer to soften. They shouldn’t.</p>
<p>Long before European caravels edged into the Indian Ocean, spice routes were stable, sophisticated, and profitable. Arab merchants had no need for Iberian supervision. Indian growers did not require Portuguese correction. Yet in 1498, when <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/058067a0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Vasco da Gama</a> reached Calicut, it was framed as discovery. Discovery for whom? The pepper vines were not hiding. The market was not secret. What da Gama found was not spice. He found a trade he could not control—and decided that would change.</p>
<p>Within decades, the Portuguese Estado da Índia had fortified choke points from Goa to Malacca. Pepper ships sailed under cannon. Cinnamon forests in Ceylon were catalogued and coerced. The violence was administrative before it was theatrical. Cartaz passes. Naval patrols. Blockades. Modernity smells faintly of gunpowder and clove oil.</p>
<p>Cinnamon is instructive. For centuries Europeans believed it grew in Arabia, guarded by winged beasts, harvested by daring tricksters. That fantasy was commercially useful. The truth—carefully tended groves in Sri Lanka—was less romantic and more dangerous. Once the Portuguese identified the source, they imposed extraction quotas on local labor. Later, the Dutch perfected the system. The spice tree became a ledger entry.</p>
<p>The History of Spices is really the history of narrowing margins.</p>
<p>The Dutch East India Company—Dutch East India Company—did not chase flavor. It chased monopoly. Nutmeg from Banda. Cloves from Ternate. They uprooted surplus trees to keep prices high. They massacred island populations when contracts failed to produce obedience. That is not metaphor. It is policy.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, in London, pepper prices began to stabilize. Stabilization meant access. Access meant habit. By the eighteenth century, spices were no longer rare trophies but structured ingredients in expanding imperial diets. Sugar joined them, then tea, then coffee. The palate widened as the empire thickened.</p>
<p>There is a tendency to describe this as “culinary exchange.” The phrase suggests reciprocity. It ignores asymmetry.</p>
<p>When the English East India Company—East India Company—tightened its hold over Bengal and beyond, spices were only one commodity among many. Textiles paid better. Opium proved more flexible. Yet pepper and cardamom remained embedded in the architecture of trade. They were early proofs of concept: high value, low volume, transportable, addictive in the quiet way flavor always is.</p>
<p>Modern spices differ from medieval ones in only one respect. They are cheap.</p>
<p>Industrial agriculture dissolved the old scarcity. Steamships shortened routes. Refrigeration changed preservation. The Suez Canal erased months of sailing. By the late nineteenth century, pepper no longer justified a naval campaign. It fit inside a tin on a grocer’s shelf in Manchester or Marseille. The romance collapsed under logistics.</p>
<p>And yet the old hierarchies persist, just flattened.</p>
<p>Today Vietnam dominates global black pepper production. India remains symbolic, less central than it once was. Indonesia still grows cloves that scent cigarettes more often than kitchens. Supply chains are optimized, audited, securitized. The spice jar is barcoded. No one storms a harbor for cinnamon anymore; they negotiate futures contracts.</p>
<p>This is progress only in the technical sense.</p>
<p>Spices changed European cooking not because they were abundant but because they were desired beyond reason. Medieval cuisine layered flavors aggressively—sweet with savory, cinnamon in meat stews, pepper in everything—because contrast signaled wealth. Restraint came later, when scarcity eased. French haute cuisine in the nineteenth century turned away from heavy spicing, privileging butter and stock. The shift was aesthetic, yes. It was also economic. When everyone can afford pepper, pepper stops proving anything.</p>
<p>The History of Spices is the history of status dissolving into habit.</p>
<p>Black pepper now sits beside salt as a default. Cinnamon belongs to breakfast cereal. Nutmeg is grated without ceremony. The global trade routes they once justified are invisible, embedded in container shipping schedules and commodity exchanges. The violence that secured them has been absorbed into nation-states and corporate law.</p>
<p>Nothing mystical remains. No winged guardians. No secret groves.</p>
<p>Just agriculture, freight, and margin.</p>
<p>Still, the residue lingers. In the architecture of port cities. In loanwords that drifted across oceans. In the way European empires first learned to look east not as pilgrimage but as procurement. Pepper trained them. Cinnamon confirmed it. Clove and nutmeg completed the lesson.</p>
<p>Control supply. Control price. Control taste.</p>
<p>That formula outlived the caravels.</p>
<p>The modern supermarket is quieter than a sixteenth-century harbor, but it rests on the same premise: distance can be conquered, flavor can be standardized, desire can be predicted. The jar on the shelf does not announce its lineage. It does not mention Malabar or Banda or Colombo. It certainly does not mention forced cultivation or naval bombardment.</p>
<p>It does not need to.</p>
<p>The debate about whether spices “changed the world” is over. They did. Not by transforming recipes, but by reorganizing power around something as small and dry as a peppercorn. The rest followed—charts, cannons, companies, colonies.</p>
<p>Taste was only the surface.</p>

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/snigdha-shevade-reframes-modern-parenting-through-emotional-legacy-in-safety-nesters-to-empty-nesters-published-by-beeja-house</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-21T125653.411.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Snigdha Shevade Reframes Modern Parenting Through Emotional Legacy in “Safety Nesters to Empty Nesters”, Published by Beeja House -PNN"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 21: </strong>Parenting is often spoken about as a beginning. <em>Safety Nesters to Empty Nesters</em> invites us to see it differently, as a continuation. A continuation of the homes we grew up in, the emotions we learned to manage in silence, and the expectations we carried long before we became parents ourselves.</p>
<p>In <em>Safety Nesters to Empty Nesters</em>, author <strong>Snigdha Shevade</strong> dismantles the comforting myth that parenting starts with children. Instead, she reveals how it begins within us, in the emotional patterns we inherited, the coping mechanisms we normalised, and the versions of love we absorbed without question.</p>
<p>Through the ARC Lens, Accept, Respect, Care, the book guides readers through three deeply human transformations: re-parenting the child we once were, raising young children without anxiety or performance pressure, and reconnecting with grown children not through regret, but through responsibility. It does not ask parents to erase their past, but to understand it, so inherited pain is not unconsciously handed forward disguised as discipline, ambition, or love.</p>
<p>This is not a book about perfect parenting or control. It is about awareness, emotional context, and clarity. It teaches that intimacy with our children is built not through constant answers, but through presence. <em>Safety Nesters to Empty Nesters</em> is parenting from the inside out, not to raise flawless children, but to interrupt generational patterns that no longer serve.</p>
<p>Because when parents heal themselves, they do more than raise children. They rewrite the emotional legacy of an entire generation.</p>
<p><strong>THIS BOOK IS NOT ABOUT RAISING CHILDREN</strong><strong>, IT’S ABOUT UNDERSTANDING YOURSELF AS A PARENT.</strong></p>
<p><em>Safety Nesters to Empty Nesters</em> explores how early family conditioning shapes parenting instincts, why anxiety and over-control often stem from unresolved inner narratives, what it truly means to re-parent oneself without guilt or blame, and how to reconnect with adult children through presence rather than correction.</p>
<p>Snigdha’s writing does not offer formulas or parenting shortcuts. It creates space for reflection, emotional honesty, and conversations parents rarely allow themselves to have. The book does not promise certainty. It offers understanding. Sometimes, that is the most transformative gift.</p>
<p><strong>WHY THIS BOOK MATTERS NOW</strong></p>
<p>We live in a time where parents are more informed than ever, and yet more anxious. Advice is abundant, expectations are relentless, and emotional overwhelm is often normalised as part of good parenting.</p>
<p><em>Safety Nesters to Empty Nesters</em> brings the focus back to what truly shapes families: emotional awareness, responsibility, and repair. It speaks to parents of newborns, teenagers, and adults alike, reminding them that parenting is a lifelong process that evolves.</p>
<p>Reflecting on the intention behind the book, Snigdha Shevade shares, “I did not write this book to tell parents what to do. I wrote it to help them understand why they do what they do. Parenting is not separate from who we are. It is an extension of our emotional history. When we pause to examine that history with honesty and care, we stop passing pain forward unconsciously. To me, that is the most powerful form of love.”</p>
<p>Speaking about her journey with Beeja House, she adds, “This book came together through a process that felt steady, supportive, and deeply aligned. Whenever I needed clarity, perspective, or space to think something through, Beeja House was there. The journey felt collaborative rather than rushed, and that allowed the book to take the shape it truly needed.”</p>
<p>Geetika Saigal, Founder of Beeja House, said, “Snigdha’s writing does something very few parenting books attempt. It shifts the focus away from the child as a problem to be solved and places it gently on the parent as a human being in process. <em>Safety Nesters to Empty Nesters</em> speaks to the emotional undercurrents most parenting conversations avoid: inherited fears, quiet regrets, and the deep love that often struggles to express itself cleanly.” She also added, “This book does not tell people what to do. It helps them see things more clearly. That is why it matters today.”</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-101.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Zeko AI Recognised Among Top Global Winners at India AI Impact Summit 2026 for Transforming Decision Making in Large Scale Enterprises-PNN"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 21: </strong>Zeko AI, an enterprise-focused AI talent intelligence platform, has been recognised among the global winners of the AI by HER – Global Impact Challenge at the India AI Impact Summit 2026, emerging from a competitive field across 50+ countries.</p>
<p>The recognition came at a summit of unprecedented global scale- with over 15,500 registrations, 4,600+ formal applications, participation from 70+ countries (with 136 nations represented overall), and 900+ startups exhibiting, culminating in 28 awards across categories.</p>
<p>The awards, including grants of ₹25 lakhs each, were presented by Ashwini Vaishnaw, Union Minister of Electronics & Information Technology, Information & Broadcasting and Railways, Government of India, during a ceremony that spotlighted high-impact, women-led AI ventures building scalable solutions across sectors.</p>
<p>Zeko AI was first shortlisted among the Top 30 global innovators before being named one of the final award recipients, marking a significant milestone in India’s expanding AI ecosystem.</p>
<p>Policy Backing and Ecosystem Momentum</p>
<p>The India AI Impact Summit 2026 was positioned as more than a technology conference- it was framed as a national platform for shaping the future of AI governance and inclusive innovation.</p>
<p>Centered around the themes of democratizing access to AI, expanding participation across youth and women, and positioning India as a leading global voice in artificial intelligence, the summit aligned closely with the country’s long-term vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.</p>
<p>Minister Vaishnaw, while presenting the awards, underscored AI as a horizontal, general-purpose technology capable of transforming sectors at scale, emphasising that India must lead in building systems that are accessible, inclusive, and globally competitive.</p>
<p>The AI by HER Global Impact Challenge, under which Zeko AI was recognised, specifically celebrated women-led ventures contributing to this inclusive vision.</p>
<p>The Award Ceremony also featured keynote addresses from global leaders including Roshni Nadar Malhotra, Chairperson of HCL Technologies, who highlighted the need for human-centered AI and greater representation of women in STEM leadership.</p>
<p>In addition to its recognition at the Summit, Zeko AI was also selected, in 2025, among the Top 20 startups from 10,000+ applications by the UAE–India CEPA Council Start-up Series, an initiative aimed at strengthening cross-border innovation and economic collaboration between India and the UAE, further reflecting growing international interest in scalable AI-led enterprise solutions.</p>
<p>Founder Perspective: A Shift Toward Intelligence-Led Enterprises</p>
<p>At 27, Tanvi Jain, Co-Founder of Zeko AI, represents a new generation of women leaders building enterprise-grade AI systems from India.</p>
<p>“AI in enterprises is no longer about automating recruitment,” Tanvi Jain said. “Large enterprises are rethinking how decisions are made. The future lies in structured intelligence, where data supports fairness, alignment, and long-term workforce strategy. Recognition under the AI by HER category reinforces that women-led deep-tech ventures can build at scale and compete globally.”</p>
<p>Her co-founder, Samyak Jain (28), an IIT Delhi alumnus, added that the broader ambition goes beyond hiring.</p>
<p>“Enterprises today struggle with decision misalignment- between HR, business units, and leadership, especially in people-heavy service sectors like ITes, BFSI, GCCs and logistics” Samyak Jain said. “Our vision is to embed organization intelligence into workflows so that decision-making becomes measurable, aligned, and data-driven. In the last year alone, we’ve facilitated over 1.5 million minutes of AI-led discussions and AI interviews, growing at more than 100% quarter-on-quarter. That level of adoption signals that enterprises are ready to move from manual processes to structured intelligence systems.”</p>
<p>The recognition at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 reflects not just startup success, but a broader inflection point- where AI-powered hiring, talent intelligence, and enterprise decision systems are becoming foundational to how large organisations operate and compete, in alignment with India’s larger ambition to lead the global AI movement.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-1-52.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt='"Multi-Asset Funds Clock 21 Percent Returns as Pure Equity Stagnated"- Aman Dhingra of Conviction Partners-PNN'></p><p dir="ltr"><strong>New Delhi [India], February 21: </strong>As global financial markets continue to experience heightened volatility and sector rotations in early 2026, many investors are finding that traditional “pure equity” portfolios are struggling to deliver the consistent growth they once promised.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Amidst this uncertainty, Multi-Asset Allocation has emerged as the definitive strategy for wealth preservation and growth, significantly outperforming single-category investments over the past twelve months.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>The Shift: Why Multi-Asset is Outpacing Pure Equity</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">Recent market data highlights a sharp divergence in performance. While many pure equity funds, particularly those focused on large-cap and flexi-cap stocks, faced stagnant returns and double-digit swings throughout 2025 and early 2026, Multi-Asset Allocation Funds delivered impressive returns of 17% to 21%.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The secret to this success lies in the power of “Built-in Diversification.” By mandates set by regulatory bodies like SEBI, these funds must invest at least 10% across three distinct asset classes: typically Equity, Debt, and Gold.</p>
<p dir="ltr">1. The Gold Cushion: In the last year, gold has been a standout performer, surging to record highs. While equities faced headwinds from geopolitical tensions and interest rate fluctuations, the gold component in multi-asset funds acted as a vital buffer, driving gains while stocks were volatile.</p>
<p dir="ltr">2. The Debt Anchor: The inclusion of fixed-income instruments provided much-needed stability, ensuring that the downward pressure on stocks didn’t result in the steep capital erosion seen in pure equity portfolios.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Conviction in a Volatile World</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">For many investors, the challenge isn’t just knowing where to invest but having the discipline to stay the course. This is where professional advisory becomes the differentiator.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/aman-dhingra-35155b166/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Aman Dhingra</a>, Promoter of Conviction Partners, emphasizes that the current market environment demands a shift from chasing “peaks” to seeking “consistency.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">“At Conviction Partners, we believe the true path to wealth is through high-conviction, multi-asset strategies. By balancing growth-oriented equities with defensive assets like gold and debt, we provide our clients with an ‘all-weather’ portfolio that captures upside without the stomach-churning volatility of the broader markets.”</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Why Invest Now?</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">The benefits of multi-asset investing extend beyond just raw performance:</p>
<p dir="ltr">1. Automatic Rebalancing: Fund managers tactically shift capital between assets, selling high and buying low on your behalf.</p>
<p dir="ltr">2. Lower Volatility: A smoother “return journey” makes it easier for investors to remain committed to their long-term financial goals.</p>
<p dir="ltr">3. Simplicity: Instead of managing multiple separate accounts for gold, bonds, and stocks, one fund provides a comprehensive solution.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Partner with Conviction</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">For those looking to transition from reactive investing to a disciplined, professionally managed strategy, Conviction Partners offers the expertise required to navigate these complex cycles. Specializing in high-quality multi-asset solutions, the firm focuses on protecting capital during downturns while positioning portfolios for sustainable long-term gains.</p>

Thiyagu, Managing Director of Sathlokhar Synergys E&C Global Limited </strong>said<strong>, </strong>“These new orders further strengthen our presence in the industrial segment and reflect sustained client confidence in our integrated capabilities across civil, PEB and MEP works. We continue to see healthy traction from repeat and marquee clients, reinforcing our positioning as a dependable end to end EPC partner</p>
<p>As we are in the final quarter of the financial year, which is typically execution heavy, our key priority remains on accelerating on site progress and ensuring timely delivery of both our newly secured projects and the existing order book, while maintaining strict quality standards and cost discipline.”</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-21T184037.143.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="crypto-pnn"></p><p dir="ltr"><strong>New Delhi [India], February 21: </strong>Crypto hackers drained $3.4 billion from blockchain platforms in 2025, with three massive breaches accounting for 70% of total losses. The Bybit exchange hack alone cost $1.4 billion, making it one of the largest crypto thefts ever recorded.</p>
<p dir="ltr">CZ and Jeremy Allaire predict billions of AI agents will use crypto for payments, which means security crypto projects protecting these transactions will become the next crypto to explode in 2026.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=next-crypto-to-explode-in-february-2026-deepsnitch-ai-tao-wld" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> is the next crypto to explode because it solves the exact security crisis that just cost the industry $3.4 billion. The 169% gains already delivered validate the project works, making the $0.04064 presale entry a 200x moonshot.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">OpenAI tests if AI can stop crypto hacks with EVMbench</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The<a href="https://www.chainalysis.com/blog/crypto-hacking-stolen-funds-2026/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 2025 crypto hack landscape </a>was all about three major incidents that captured nearly 70% of the $3.4 billion stolen.</p>
<p dir="ltr">AI agents detect hidden code irregularities in hours instead of weeks, which explains why <a href="https://openai.com/index/introducing-evmbench/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">OpenAI built EVMbench </a>to test whether artificial intelligence can secure live blockchain environments.</p>
<p dir="ltr">OpenAI stated agents perform best when the objective is explicit, like draining funds from vulnerable contracts. Detection and patching remain below full coverage because agents stop after identifying single issues instead of auditing entire codebases.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The cryptos about to pump in 2026 are projects shipping working AI security tools.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Next crypto to explode in 2026</h2>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI: AI surveillance project with 169% ROI in presale already</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">While OpenAI tests whether AI can secure blockchain, DeepSnitch AI already deployed four AI crypto surveillance agents during presale at $0.04064.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Investors who entered at $0.01510 launch are watching 169% gains compound before $DSNT hits a single exchange. Over $1.67 million raised from degens positioning before listings multiply valuations.</p>
<p dir="ltr">SnitchFeed alerts you to whale movements and momentum signals before they show up on charts, basically giving you insider-level intel. SnitchScan watches wallet flows across Ethereum, BSC, and Solana all at once, tracking if big holders are quietly exiting positions.</p>
<p dir="ltr">SnitchGPT instantly answers whatever you need to know about tokens or contracts using an LLM trained specifically on crypto, no more wasting time on block explorers. AuditSnitch scans contracts in seconds and flags honeypots, rugs, and malicious code automatically so you don’t get wrecked by some anonymous dev team.</p>
<p dir="ltr">These features and positioning amid the crypto hacks make DeepSnitch the clear next crypto to explode for February 2026.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Put in $10,000 at $0.04064 and bonus codes stack you with 615,148 DSNT tokens. Even a weak $0.08 to $0.12 listing range gets you $49,212 to $73,818 right out the gate. Run to $1 and you’re looking at $615,148.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Peak at $3 when everyone panic-buys security tools and that five-figure entry becomes $1.84 million. This simple math shows why this is the next crypto to explode while strong momentum coins offering 3x to 5x just can’t compete.</p>
<p dir="ltr"></p>
<ol start="2">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">Bittensor TAO</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">TAO currently trades at $175 on February 20, after the Upbit listing on February 16, 2026, provided South Korean market access.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Grayscale filed for a spot in the TAO ETF, which could unlock institutional capital if the SEC approves.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The network plans to double subnet capacity from 128 to 256 specialized AI markets in 2026, expanding competition and innovation. Analysts project 2026 price targets ranging from $200 to $800, depending on network adoption and AI sector expansion.</p>
<ol start="3">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">Worldcoin (WLD)</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">WLD trades at $0.37 on February 20 after dropping from $11.74 all-time high in March 2024. Worldcoin qualifies as trending market movers with institutional backing from a16z, Blockchain Capital, and Coinbase Ventures.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Its price predictions for 2026 range from $0.60 conservative to $9.50 optimistic, depending on the adoption of proof-of-human systems and AI narrative strength.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The catch is 25x upside at best requires perfect execution and mass adoption of iris scanning technology. Compare that to cryptos about to pump like DeepSnitch AI, already delivering 169% gains with working products before exchange listings.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The $3.4 billion in crypto hacks during 2025 validates that manual security audits cannot protect smart contracts managing $100 billion in digital assets, creating urgent demand for automated AI security solutions.</p>
<p dir="ltr">TAO offers 4x upside with decentralized AI compute and halving supply shock, while WLD provides 25x potential with proof-of-human verification and Sam Altman backing.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Both rank as cryptos about to pump and trending market movers with institutional support. But the next crypto to explode requires bigger multiples from smaller market caps.</p>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI is the clear next crypto to explode, with four operational AI agents processing data now, 169% ROI proven for presale participants, and DSNTVIP bonus codes stacking up to 300% extra tokens for maximum entry leverage.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">Why is DeepSnitch AI the next crypto to explode over established coins?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI is the next crypto to explode because it ships four working AI agents at $0.04064 presale while established coins already pumped and capped their multiples. Cryptos about to pump offer 200x from discovery pricing, not 3x from billion-dollar market caps everyone already knows about.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">When does DeepSnitch AI list on exchanges?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">There is no official confirmed date as of now, but some think that exchange listings are targeted for Q2 2026, with rumors about top-tier platforms already in talks. Early presale buyers at $0.04064 will be up massively before normies can even buy it.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Can DeepSnitch really do 100x to 200x, or is that hopium?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Early holders are already up 169% before any exchange listings. With $0.04064 entry targeting $8 to $12 listings when security becomes the narrative, 200x math checks out.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-21-2-26-1-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Chennai" decoding="async"></p><p><span data-sheets-root="1"><strong>Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], February 21</strong>: </span>Transformative governance does not always arrive draped in steel and glass. It does not depend on megaprojects slicing through skylines or ceremonial inaugurations broadcast in prime time. Often, it begins at street level — at a crowded bus terminus in Ambattur, along Pondy Bazaar artery in Theagaraya Nagar, beside a railway platform in Anna Nagar. In Tamil Nadu’s capital, a quiet but profound reordering of civic priorities is underway. The expansion of Chennai’s Public Convenience Toilet network is not merely a sanitation upgrade; it is a declaration of administrative seriousness — and a benchmark for the rest of India.</p>
<p>At its most immediate layer, sanitation is public health policy in concrete form. In dense urban corridors, disease transmission rarely explodes dramatically; it accumulates invisibly. Unmanaged wastewater, contaminated touchpoints, open urination in high-footfall zones, and deteriorating facilities generate a persistent microbial backdrop. Chennai’s insistence on clean, consistently serviced public toilets interrupts that chain of exposure. Each functioning unit operates as a decentralised health safeguard embedded within the city’s urban grid.</p>
<p>The dividends of such interventions are incremental but compounding. In a metropolis of millions, marginal reductions in infection rates translate into measurable declines in healthcare burden. Fewer gastrointestinal illnesses mean fewer lost workdays. Reduced exposure lowers household medical spending. Pressure on primary care facilities eases. In this calculus, sanitation precedes treatment. It is infrastructure designed to prevent the need for additional infrastructure.</p>
<p><strong>The Gendered Geography of Access</strong></p>
<p>For women, sanitation is not a peripheral amenity. It is a structural determinant of mobility — and mobility determines opportunity.</p>
<p>For adolescent girls, the availability of clean, functional public toilets directly influences school attendance, particularly during menstruation. Inadequate facilities often translate into absenteeism and, in vulnerable contexts, higher dropout risk. Reliable sanitation stabilises educational continuity and strengthens long-term human capital formation.</p>
<p>For young working women, especially those navigating extended commutes across Chennai’s metropolitan region, predictable access defines how long they can remain economically active in public space. Nurses, sales professionals, factory workers, gig-economy riders, and informal vendors operate within demanding schedules. Without dependable facilities, hydration is restricted intentionally, health complications rise, and work hours are shortened. Functional sanitation extends productivity, reduces urinary and reproductive health risks, and enhances workforce participation.</p>
<p>For women in informal commerce, sanitation is directly tied to income stability. Market vendors and street traders cannot afford prolonged absences from their stalls. Accessible facilities reduce income disruption and protect daily earnings in dense commercial corridors.</p>
<p>For pregnant women, public sanitation intersects with maternal health. Clean, proximate facilities reduce infection risks and physical strain during long transit or waiting periods. In this sense, sanitation becomes embedded preventive healthcare.</p>
<p>For elderly women, who often face mobility challenges and incontinence-related concerns, public toilet availability determines whether participation in public life remains feasible. Access sustains independence and preserves dignity.</p>
<p>Across these stages, sanitation reshapes the functional radius of women’s lives. Public space becomes navigable rather than restrictive. Time becomes reclaimable rather than rationed. Autonomy becomes operational rather than symbolic.</p>
<p><strong>Safety, Dignity, and Public Citizenship</strong></p>
<p>Design quality, lighting, maintenance frequency, and inspection compliance influence more than hygiene metrics — they shape perceptions of safety. Well-maintained facilities reduce vulnerability in high-footfall areas and normalise women’s presence in public spaces.</p>
<p>A city that provides dependable sanitation does not merely install infrastructure; it signals that women’s participation in civic and economic life is anticipated, protected, and supported.</p>
<p><strong>Labour Dignity and Formalisation</strong></p>
<p>Sanitation reform also recalibrates labour structures. Historically, public toilet maintenance in many Indian cities has relied on informal arrangements with minimal worker protections.</p>
<p>Chennai’s performance-linked model formalises this ecosystem. Roles are defined. Compensation is stabilised. Service standards are codified and audited. Cleanliness becomes an enforceable deliverable.</p>
<p>This transition is particularly consequential for women employed in sanitation services. Structured contracts reduce wage volatility and strengthen professionalisation in a sector long marginalised. The dignity embedded in this model extends both to users and to those responsible for sustaining service standards.</p>
<p><strong>Institutional Architecture: Governance Beyond Construction</strong></p>
<p>The Greater Chennai Corporation has anchored this initiative within a Design–Build–Finance–Operate–Transfer framework structured under the Hybrid Annuity Model. This marks a decisive shift from conventional public works contracting.</p>
<p>Under this arrangement, the concessionaire assumes responsibility not only for construction but for sustained operation and maintenance. Capital expenditure is partially disbursed during construction, while the remaining investment is recovered through annuity payments over the concession term. Crucially, those payments are tied to measurable performance benchmarks — uptime ratios, hygiene audits, inspection scores, and maintenance compliance. Completion alone does not trigger revenue. Performance does.</p>
<p>This lifecycle governance model represents institutional maturity. Infrastructure is no longer treated as an inauguration event; it is treated as a long-term service obligation.</p>
<p>Such structuring requires administrative rigor. Footfall analytics, ward-level inspection mechanisms, response logs, and compliance audits become governance instruments. Measurable performance limits ambiguity. Quantifiable deficiencies become actionable.</p>
<p>In steering this transformation, the Greater Chennai Corporation, under the guidance of its Special Projects Department, has played a foundational role. Embedding sanitation reform within a structured contractual and monitoring framework demands sustained oversight, technical supervision, and enforcement discipline. Translating policy design into operational continuity is an administrative achievement in itself.</p>
<p><strong>Execution on Ground: Ferrgra</strong></p>
<p>Within this broader architecture, execution capacity becomes decisive.</p>
<p><a href="https://writora.org/chennai-sanitation-revolution-governance-model/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ferrgra</a>, the concessionaire for Package 3 — covering Zones 7, 8, 9 (excluding Marina), and 10 — carries responsibility for delivering consistent service quality across diverse and high-density urban zones.</p>
<p>Maintaining uptime, staffing facilities, ensuring cleanliness compliance, responding to inspection observations, and meeting contractual benchmarks require operational precision. In a performance-linked annuity structure, service delivery is not symbolic; it is audited and tied to financial flows.</p>
<p>The credibility of the governance model rests on sustained execution in such zones. When facilities function reliably in complex, high-footfall environments, institutional design is validated in practice.</p>
<p><strong>The Essential Variable: Public Cooperation</strong></p>
<p>Yet even the most robust contractual architecture cannot guarantee success in isolation.</p>
<p>Public sanitation networks are inherently shared assets. Their longevity depends on responsible usage, adherence to hygiene norms, avoidance of vandalism, and timely reporting of damage. Cleanliness is not sustained solely through audits and payments; it is reinforced through civic participation.</p>
<p>The long-term success of Package 3 across Zones 7, 8, 9 (excluding Marina), and 10 will depend on a threefold alignment:</p>
<ul>
<li>Administrative vigilance by the Greater Chennai Corporation</li>
<li>Operational discipline by Ferrgra as concessionaire</li>
<li>Active cooperation and shared ownership by citizens</li>
</ul>
<p>When governance, execution, and public responsibility converge, sanitation infrastructure evolves from a facility into an institution.</p>
<p><strong>From Sanitation to State Credibility</strong></p>
<p>If sustained, the outcomes extend beyond hygiene metrics:</p>
<ul>
<li>Reduced disease incidence</li>
<li>Expanded economic participation for women across life stages</li>
<li>Improved educational continuity for girls</li>
<li>Strengthened maternal and elderly health safeguards</li>
<li>Formalised livelihoods within sanitation services</li>
<li>Enhanced institutional credibility</li>
</ul>
<p>Public toilets have historically been among the most neglected civic assets in Indian cities. Ensuring durable quality over years — not months — demands vigilance, enforcement, and collective ownership.</p>
<p>In shifting the metric of success from construction to sustained service, Chennai is not merely upgrading toilets. It is recalibrating the relationship between citizen and state.</p>
<p>And in that recalibration — anchored by administrative stewardship, operational accountability, and public cooperation — Tamil Nadu positions itself not simply as a participant in India’s urban evolution, but as a pace-setter.</p>
<p>Trust is not built in megaprojects alone.<br>
It is built in the reliable delivery of the everyday.</p>
<p>In that quiet discipline, Chennai is setting the standard.</p>

<h3 data-section-id="1xji2tv" data-start="188" data-end="255">₹137 Crore 15th Finance Commission Grants Boost Rural Governance</h3>
<p data-start="257" data-end="675">The Government of India has released <strong data-start="294" data-end="363">₹137 crore under the <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline"><span class="whitespace-normal">15th Finance Commission</span></span> grants</strong> to strengthen rural local bodies across <strong data-start="404" data-end="447">Goa, Meghalaya, Sikkim, and Uttarakhand</strong>, reinforcing its focus on decentralised governance and grassroots development. The funds have been disbursed to support institutional capacity, basic service delivery, and financial stability at the village and district levels.</p>
<p data-start="677" data-end="1082">These grants form part of the Finance Commission’s broader mandate to ensure predictable and performance-linked fiscal transfers to local governments, enabling them to function as effective units of self-governance. The release aligns with the constitutional vision of empowering Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) and rural local bodies to plan and implement development programmes suited to local needs.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="13w3kx1" data-start="1084" data-end="1140">Strengthening the Foundation of Rural Administration</h3>
<p data-start="1142" data-end="1631">Rural local bodies play a critical role in delivering essential services such as drinking water supply, sanitation, solid waste management, village roads, and maintenance of community assets. However, limited financial autonomy has often constrained their ability to plan long-term or respond quickly to local challenges. The ₹137 crore allocation is intended to address this gap by providing untied and performance-based support that local institutions can deploy where it is most needed.</p>
<p data-start="1633" data-end="1913">The funds will also assist local bodies in meeting operational costs, improving record-keeping, and strengthening administrative systems. This includes support for digital accounting, audit compliance, and transparency mechanisms that improve public trust and governance outcomes.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="1ampjce" data-start="1915" data-end="1957">State-Wise Impact and Regional Balance</h3>
<p data-start="1959" data-end="2356">The four beneficiary states represent diverse geographic and administrative contexts, ranging from coastal Goa to Himalayan Uttarakhand and the northeastern states of Meghalaya and Sikkim. Each faces unique challenges related to terrain, population density, and access to infrastructure. Finance Commission grants are designed to account for these differences while ensuring equitable development.</p>
<p data-start="2358" data-end="2619">For hill and northeastern states, the grants are particularly significant as higher delivery costs and logistical constraints often strain local budgets. The funding enables rural bodies to sustain essential services without compromising on quality or coverage.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="1nhda5a" data-start="2621" data-end="2664">Performance-Based Governance Incentives</h3>
<p data-start="2666" data-end="2991">A key feature of the 15th Finance Commission framework is its emphasis on performance-linked incentives. Local bodies are encouraged to meet benchmarks related to sanitation outcomes, financial discipline, and transparency. This approach aims to shift governance from mere fund utilisation to outcome-oriented administration.</p>
<p data-start="2993" data-end="3301">By linking a portion of grants to measurable performance indicators, the Finance Commission seeks to foster accountability while also building institutional capacity over time. Rural bodies that demonstrate effective governance practices stand to benefit from continued and enhanced support in future cycles.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="24kvn6" data-start="3303" data-end="3344">Supporting National Development Goals</h3>
<p data-start="3346" data-end="3649">The release of ₹137 crore also contributes to broader national objectives such as Swachh Bharat Mission goals, rural infrastructure development, and improved quality of life in villages. Strong local institutions are essential for translating national schemes into tangible outcomes at the ground level.</p>
<p data-start="3651" data-end="3843">Decentralised funding allows rural administrations to align central priorities with local realities, ensuring that development interventions are context-sensitive rather than uniform mandates.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="1qownkm" data-start="3845" data-end="3882">A Continuity of Fiscal Federalism</h3>
<p data-start="3884" data-end="4235">This fund release reflects the ongoing commitment to cooperative fiscal federalism, where states and local governments are treated as partners in development rather than mere implementing agencies. Predictable transfers under the Finance Commission framework help states plan budgets with greater certainty and reduce dependence on ad-hoc allocations.</p>
<p data-start="4237" data-end="4554">As rural India continues to evolve, investments in governance capacity are increasingly recognised as foundational rather than supplementary. The ₹137 crore allocation under the 15th Finance Commission reinforces this understanding, placing empowered local institutions at the centre of sustainable rural development.</p>

<p data-start="230" data-end="446">The International Cricket Council has already announced the names of match officials for the Super Eight phase of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, which commences on February 21 at venues across Sri Lanka and India.</p>
<p data-start="448" data-end="647">This stage of the competition separates winners from losers. And the ICC, treating the task like a high-stakes courtroom drama, has appointed 16 umpires and four match referees to oversee the action.</p>
<p data-start="649" data-end="917">Think of these officials as the guardians of fair play. The clock does not run without them. They take the toughest decisions under pressure.

The tournament is being co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka.</p>
<p data-start="509" data-end="840">A panel of <strong data-start="520" data-end="576">16 elite umpires and four experienced match referees</strong> has been appointed to oversee this crucial phase of the competition. The referees selected for the Super Eight include <strong data-start="696" data-end="772">Ranjan Madugalle, Andrew Pycroft, Richie Richardson, and Javagal Srinath</strong>, all of whom bring decades of international officiating experience.</p>
<p data-start="842" data-end="1147">The umpiring panel features several of the game’s most respected officials, including <strong data-start="928" data-end="1054">Richard Kettleborough, Nitin Menon, Kumar Dharmasena, Chris Gaffaney, Rodney Tucker, Paul Reiffel, and Richard Illingworth</strong>, along with others assigned across venues in Colombo, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Kandy, and Kolkata.</p>
<p data-start="1149" data-end="1442">Key fixtures include New Zealand vs Pakistan on February 21 in Colombo, India vs South Africa on February 22 in Ahmedabad, and India vs West Indies on March 1 in Kolkata.

<p data-start="1444" data-end="1556">This announcement reflects standard ICC tournament operations and focuses solely on match officiating logistics.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="1sb1fsl" data-start="924" data-end="987"><strong data-start="1543" data-end="1595">Major On-Field Umpiring Assignments and Veterans</strong></h3>
<p data-start="1597" data-end="1844">The first Super Eight match, New Zealand vs Pakistan in Colombo on February 21, will be officiated by Rodney Tucker and Paul Reiffel as the on-field umpires. They are not rookies. They are seasoned professionals with years of top-level experience.</p>
<p data-start="1846" data-end="2017">Allahudien Paleker will serve as the TV umpire, while Sam Nogajski takes charge as the fourth umpire, roles that are equally crucial in the era of DRS and instant replays.</p>
<p data-start="2019" data-end="2313">As the tournament progresses, the panel rotates across matches in Kandy, Colombo, and major Indian venues. When India face South Africa in Ahmedabad on February 22, Chris Gaffaney and Richard Kettleborough will stand in the middle, with Alex Wharf as TV umpire and Chris Brown as fourth umpire.</p>
<p data-start="2315" data-end="2489">That pairing is not accidental. Gaffaney and Kettleborough have handled the biggest stages, including the 2024 final. They bring a calm that only elite professionals possess.</p>
<p data-start="2491" data-end="2703">Umpires such as Nitin Menon, Adrian Holdstock, Ahsan Raza, Asif Yaqoob, Richard Illingworth, Jayaraman Madanagopal, Shahid Saikat, and Kumar Dharmasena will rotate through marquee fixtures during the Super Eight.</p>

<p data-start="2923" data-end="3118">The oversight panel includes four match referees: Ranjan Madugalle, Andrew Pycroft, Richie Richardson, and Javagal Srinath. They may not stand in the middle of the field, but they hold authority.</p>
<p data-start="3120" data-end="3324">Their role goes beyond watching leather meet willow. They handle code-of-conduct issues, maintain discipline, and ensure fairness at a broader level. Think of them as judges in cricket’s global courtroom.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="3xfjjr" data-start="3331" data-end="3377"><strong data-start="3335" data-end="3377">India’s Presence in the Official Panel</strong></h3>
<p data-start="3379" data-end="3471">India is not just hosting matches. Indian officials are part of the officiating mix as well.</p>
<p data-start="3473" data-end="3656">Nitin Menon brings sharp instincts, while Jayaraman Madanagopal represents the new generation of elite umpires from the subcontinent. Their inclusion reflects trust as much as talent.</p>
<p data-start="3658" data-end="3847">This is not tokenism. It is merit. Their presence signals the depth of India’s cricketing culture, the strength of its training systems, and the growing credibility of its officiating pool.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="15unhy7" data-start="3927" data-end="3986"><strong data-start="3931" data-end="3986">What This Says About the ICC’s Approach to Fairness</strong></h3>
<p data-start="3988" data-end="4079">By blending experienced global umpires with emerging talent, the ICC sends a clear message:</p>
<ul data-start="4081" data-end="4187">
<li data-section-id="1vggdy6" data-start="4081" data-end="4103">
<p data-start="4083" data-end="4103">Experience matters</p>
</li>
<li data-section-id="b7uho5" data-start="4104" data-end="4135">
<p data-start="4106" data-end="4135">Compromise is not an option</p>
</li>
<li data-section-id="1bdkffo" data-start="4136" data-end="4187">
<p data-start="4138" data-end="4187">This stage of the tournament is serious cricket</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="4189" data-end="4329">In a sport where one wrong call can erase hours of preparation, the quality of officials quietly shapes how games are played and remembered.</p>
<p data-start="4331" data-end="4397">Good officials do not change games. They ensure games remain real.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="yipc2l" data-start="4404" data-end="4447"><strong data-start="4408" data-end="4447">How Officials Shape the Big Moments</strong></h3>
<p data-start="4449" data-end="4626">Fans obsess over sixes, yorkers, and dropped catches. But the umpire’s voice, that sharp, decisive “Out,” or a perfectly judged no-ball, is the invisible hand guiding the story.</p>
<p data-start="4628" data-end="4837">Just as a batting lineup is a team’s engine, match officials are its transmission. They ensure everything runs smoothly under pressure. In a 40-over sprint like the T20 Super Eight, there is no room for doubt.</p>
<p data-start="4839" data-end="4993">Every call matters. Every glance matters. And these officials will be at the centre of the action, from Colombo to Ahmedabad, and on to Kandy and Kolkata.</p>

Comfortable sofas in the lobby, elegant dining chairs, stylish room furniture, and perfectly designed restaurant booths all play a big role in creating that first impression.

<p><span>Across India and in more than 30 countries, many leading hotel brands trust Best of Exports, the number one <a href="https://bestofexports.com/hotel-furniture-suppliers/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Hotel Furniture Manufacturer,</a> for their furniture needs. From luxury resorts to fine-dining restaurants and large hotel chains, they are known for quality, customization, and reliability.</span></p>

        <title>Best Crypto to Buy Now: DeepSnitch AI Barreling Toward Moonshot Launch As Team Releases Interface Preview; SUI Sinks and ADA Flatlines in February</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/best-crypto-to-buy-now-deepsnitch-ai-barreling-toward-moonshot-launch-as-team-releases-interface-preview-sui-sinks-and-ada-flatlines-in-february</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/best-crypto-to-buy-now-deepsnitch-ai-barreling-toward-moonshot-launch-as-team-releases-interface-preview-sui-sinks-and-ada-flatlines-in-february</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-20-2-26-3.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="DeepSnitch"></p><p dir="ltr"><span><strong>New Delhi [India], February 20:</strong> </span>Fourteen public Bitcoin miners are chasing 30 gigawatts of AI-focused power, so nearly triple what they run right now. Post-halving margins have squeezed the old model, so they’re pivoting to AI data centres where returns look steadier, and Ledn has placed $188 million in Bitcoin-backed bonds into the mainstream ABS market. Miners aren’t side-switching, but they are adapting in 2026.</p>
<p dir="ltr">And at the level of infrastructure, AI and crypto are fusing, which is to say that the best crypto to buy now will be at that nexus in 2026. <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-miners-ai-pivot-feb26" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> is a rare token in that category, set to launch five AI agents to flag honeypots, expose whale accumulation, and audit smart contracts before you put a penny in. P</p>
<p dir="ltr">riced at $0.04064 for presale, the token is up 169% from its $0.01510 starting price, and it’s already brought in over $1.66M in record time. With launch practically around the corner, this is the time to buy in before it makes a much-anticipated 1000x run.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Bitcoin miners put $30B on AI, as Ledn cracks structured finance and Riot faces activist flames</h2>
<p dir="ltr">HIVE Digital posted quarterly revenue above <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-miners-chase-30gw-ai-capacity-to-offset-hashprice-pressure" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$93 million</a>, up 219% year on year, helped in part by AI workloads even as Bitcoin prices slid. And Starboard Value, which owns roughly 12.7 million shares of Riot, believes the company’s Texas AI and high-performance computing pipeline alone could hold between $9 billion and $21 billion in untapped equity value. That’s a pretty powerful vote of confidence in where this infrastructure could be headed.</p>
<p dir="ltr">And Ledn’s <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/what-happened-in-crypto-today" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$188 million</a> bond deal, backed by more than 4,000 BTC and rated by S&P, feels like another inconspicuous-but-mighty milestone, as it shows crypto-native structured finance can sit alongside traditional fixed income without looking out of place. At the same time, the CLARITY Act is moving through Congress, with Senator Moreno expecting passage by April. And if that timeline sticks, the industry may finally get the regulatory footing it has been circling for many years now.</p>
<p dir="ltr">What all of this tells you is that AI utility and institutional infrastructure are converging, and that’s exactly why DeepSnitch AI could compound its value well beyond what the current $0.04064 price tag reflects, based on 2026 market conditions.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Crypto investment opportunities: An AI presale with live agents, a layer-1 with fresh ETFs, and a veteran altcoin stuck in neutral</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. DeepSnitch AI: First look at the dashboard triggers a stage 5 sellout</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Most presales sell you a pitch deck, some smoke-and-mirrors, or a promise it can’t keep. That’s not at all the case for DeepSnitch AI, which already has a working product and tools shipped internally.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The people behind it are on-chain analysts who built the platform around the problems they personally watched retail traders bleed from, so everything from honeypots to hidden taxes, liquidity traps to sketchy ownership structures.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Five AI agents, collectively called the snitches, will handle the heavy lifting once the platform goes live, and they’ll do that by scanning contracts, scoring risk, surfacing whale activity, tracking social sentiment, and translating all of it into plain-English answers.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As the dashboard screenshot below shows, everything operates from one very clean, precise, easy-to-navigate interface. You don’t have to go bouncing between tabs, and you don’t have to decode raw blockchain data. It’s easy to see what’s spiking, open any token for a deep dive, and get a clear risk picture before you commit.</p>
<p dir="ltr">There’s plenty of reason to believe this is the best crypto to buy now, between this sharp, unusual utility, the token’s low price at only $0.04064 in presale, and the launch coming up in a matter of days, which could take that price far higher.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The team has built a foundation where a 1000x isn’t wishful thinking. That’s entirely plausible when genuine utility meets presale pricing and a massive addressable market. And the earlier you buy into DeepSnitch AI, the more of that upside is yours for the taking.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://youtu.be/jVCQ30HIJj8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/jVCQ30HIJj8</a></p>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. SUI’s fresh ETFs and fragile price action</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Grayscale and Canary both launched staking ETFs for SUI this week, which should be a tailwind, except that the chart hasn’t cooperated. SUI is near $0.918, down roughly 1.5%, while BTC has climbed just over 1%.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Behind this dip isn’t a clear, obvious catalyst. It’s more likely to be persistent selling pressure around stubborn technical levels.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As the 50-day SMA is projected to fall toward $0.85 by late March, a hold above the swing low near $0.90 could invite a bounce toward $0.94, but a breach below risks extending down to the 2026 low around $0.85.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The ETF launches could help over months, but in the near-term at least, SUI needs a conviction catalyst that the chart doesn’t have on offer. If a breakout altcoin with moonshot math is something that sounds more appealing to you, then the best crypto to buy now is probably not the one that’s drifting sideways.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">3. Cardano hangs onto moving averages, waiting for direction</h3>
<p dir="ltr">ADA has been a patient test as it hovers near $0.27, barely budging while BTC posts modest gains. The token is pressing against its 20-day EMA around $0.29, and a breakout there could unlock a run toward the downtrend line and eventually $0.44. But if that doesn’t happen, Cardano could head below $0.23 once more.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Despite the depth of Cardano’s ecosystem, it’s not as firmly among strong momentum coins as DeepSnitch AI. The latter is among the crypto investment opportunities still at presale pricing, which is to say it has far more room to run at this time.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">The bottom line</h2>
<p dir="ltr">It’s rare to see a presale where the product is already live, staking is already active, and the team is only days away from news that could powerfully shift demand and send the token soaring. But DeepSnitch AI is that rarity, still only at $0.04064.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Until launch, which is coming up fast in a few days’ time now, bonus codes are offering between 30% and 300% extra tokens depending on your commitment level. That means early conviction multiplies your allocation and, along with uncapped dynamic staking APR, those extra tokens keep compounding rewards over time.</p>
<p dir="ltr">There’s plenty of reason to believe this is the absolute best crypto to buy now, with the upside that only breakout altcoins see.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If that’s what you’re looking for, head over to the <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-miners-ai-pivot-feb26" target="_blank" rel="noopener">official website</a> to buy into the presale. And you can also follow <a href="https://x.com/DeepSnitchAI">X</a> and <a href="https://t.me/DeepSnitchAI">Telegram</a> to stay informed of any major developments.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">What is the best crypto to buy now for 100x potential or higher?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI is priced at $0.04064 in presale, with live AI tools already in holders’ hands. From here, a relatively small bump in demand could send the token multiples higher, which large-cap breakout altcoins can’t offer. That’s what makes it the best crypto to buy now, especially if you want to see 100x-1000x gains in early 2026.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Is SUI a good investment in February 2026?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">SUI faces technical headwinds with its 50-day SMA projected toward $0.85 by late March. New staking ETFs may help long-term. But if you’re wondering about strong momentum coins with more upside to offer in the near term, DeepSnitch AI is probably the best crypto to buy now, as pre-launch pricing offers a sharper risk-reward profile.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Why are Bitcoin miners investing in AI?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Post-halving margin pressure is pushing miners to monetise power infrastructure through AI workloads, with 30GW of new capacity in development, a trend that validates AI-crypto crossover projects like DeepSnitch AI and reinforces why AI utility is becoming probably the strongest thesis among crypto investment opportunities for 2026.</p>

        <title>Zscaler, Together With Bharti Airtel, Announce Launch of AI &amp;amp; Cyber Threat Research Center to Advance Cyber Resilience and Trusted AI Adoption</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/zscaler-together-with-bharti-airtel-announce-launch-of-ai-cyber-threat-research-center-to-advance-cyber-resilience-and-trusted-ai-adoption</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/zscaler-together-with-bharti-airtel-announce-launch-of-ai-cyber-threat-research-center-to-advance-cyber-resilience-and-trusted-ai-adoption</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1430" height="953" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PR-2526018860-Featured-Image.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Zscaler, Together With Bharti Airtel, Announce Launch of AI & Cyber Threat Research Center to Advance Cyber Resilience and Trusted AI Adoption"></p><p><strong>Ahmedabad, February 20, 2026 – <a href="https://www.zscaler.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zscaler, Inc.</a>,</strong> the leader in cloud security, in partnership with Bharti Airtel (“Airtel”), one of India’s largest telecommunication service providers, today announced the launch of the AI & Cyber Threat Research Center – India. This multi-stakeholder digital initiative is dedicated to advancing national cyber resilience, protecting sectors, industries and assets that are essential to India’s economic and national security, such as telecommunications, banking, and energy, as well as digital users, and accelerating trusted AI adoption across India’s rapidly expanding digital ecosystem.</p>
<p>India has long been a key hub for Zscaler’s technology innovation and cyber research, with a significant share of Zscaler’s research talent based in the country. The research center will serve as an expansion of Zscaler’s operations into a national platform for collaboration between the private sector, public sector, academia and the government. The center is designed “In India, For India,” with the goal of strengthening the nation’s cyber defenses and building a future-ready talent pipeline to support India’s progress toward <em>Viksit Bharat</em> and a peaceful, secure, and digitally self-reliant future.</p>
<p>India is in the midst of a generational digital transformation, building systems not at enterprise scale, but at population scale across critical sectors – dramatically expanding the national attack surface. At the same time, the threat landscape is evolving at machine speed, with nation state and financially-motivated attackers increasingly leveraging AI to probe, target, and weaponize vulnerabilities in minutes. Zscaler’s research arm, ThreatLabz India, has observed millions of infiltration attempts each month, including notable campaigns such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Nation-state cyber espionage activity using the theme of regional geopolitical tensions, which attempted to target multiple Indian entities;</li>
<li>A surge in attempts to infiltrate India’s private and public sectors, with 1.2 million intrusion attempts originating from 20,000 sources targeting 58 Indian digital entities; and</li>
<li>An increase in zero-day exploit attempts aimed at multiple industries in India.</li>
</ul>
<p>As threats grow in sophistication, traditional perimeter-based security models are no longer adequate, and disruptions to essential services can threaten national economic stability – making secure-by-design foundations and a modern architectural shift imperative to protect national digital systems in an increasingly borderless, AI-enabled environment.</p>
<p><strong>The objectives of the AI & Cyber Threat Research Center – India are anchored in four strategic pillars:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Protect: Deliver real-time, actionable intelligence to strengthen India’s national cyber resilience and digital-first businesses.</li>
<li>Remediate: Partner directly with government agencies to neutralize and prevent cyber-attacks.</li>
<li>Facilitate: Drive the adoption of modern security frameworks, specifically focusing on AI-driven defenses and Zero Trust architecture.</li>
<li>Build: Strengthen the cybersecurity talent pipeline through specialized AI and Zero Trust certifications to bridge the national skills gap.</li>
</ol>
<p>As founding members, Zscaler and Airtel will combine the former’s global intelligence with the latter’s local operational reach to create a stronger, faster research-to-response loop for India. Zscaler will deploy a specialized threat research team focused on India. This team will leverage the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley"> platform, which processes over 500 billion daily transactions, to extract threat intelligence to secure India’s public and private sectors. Airtel will contribute deep visibility into IoT and mobile traffic, collaborating with Zscaler to monitor networks and develop new solutions, enabling faster identification of suspicious activity and more effective coordination with ecosystem stakeholders. Looking ahead, additional members from India’s critical public and private sectors will be invited to join the center to expand collaboration and strengthen cyber resilience across India.</p>
<p>“At Airtel, our commitment has been to safeguard our customers and the nation’s digital fabric. This partnership with Zscaler marks a significant extension of this commitment that will combine the power of our AI capabilities and deep scale for cybersecurity research to protect the country’s expanding digital ecosystem,” said Gopal Vittal, Executive Vice-Chairman, Bharti Airtel. “We will focus on addressing challenges unique to our market to build a safer, more resilient digital India where every citizen and enterprise can connect and thrive with confidence. Our research-backed preventive mechanism will also encourage peaceful and secure engagements on digital platforms.”</p>
<p>“India is building digital systems at an unmatched population scale. You cannot secure this level of ambition with legacy firewalls and VPNs that were never designed for a hyper-connected world. It demands a modern Zero Trust architecture that is secure-by-design,” said Jay Chaudhry, CEO, Chairman, and Founder, Zscaler. “With the AI & Cyber Threat Research Center – India, we will bring the full power of the world’s largest security cloud to protect the nation’s public and private sectors. By combining actionable intelligence from over 500 billion daily transactions with local expertise, we aren’t just building readiness; we are empowering a new generation of defenders to stay ahead of the adversary.”</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-19-2-26-1-3.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Chatrabhuj Narsee School" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 21: </strong>Families in Indore now have access to internationally benchmarked education closer to home with the launch of <strong>Chatrabhuj Narsee School (CNS) Indore</strong>, the third campus of one of India’s most respected K–12 international school networks. With a strong legacy in Mumbai and Pune, CNS brings its internationally aligned academic approach to Central India at a time when the city is rapidly emerging as a centre for education and opportunity.</p>
<p>Founded by the Methibai Devraj Gundecha Education Society, Chatrabhuj Narsee School is widely recognised for its academic rigour, teacher development practices, and thoughtfully designed campuses. Over the years, CNS has earned multiple national recognitions, including #1 rankings for Campus Architecture and Design, Design Thinking Leadership, and Professional Development Excellence. Its Mumbai campus has been named the <em>Best School in India</em> in the ‘Great Schools to Work With’ International School category, while the Pune campus was recognised as the <em>Most Promising School with Modern Infrastructure</em>.</p>
<p>The opening of CNS Indore addresses a long-standing aspiration among parents in the region who seek global curricula and future-ready education without the need to relocate to metro cities or send children to boarding schools. The new campus offers an academically rigorous yet balanced learning environment designed to meet the evolving expectations of modern families.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/cns.indore/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNS Indore</a> introduces the proposed International Cambridge curriculum, which focuses on conceptual clarity, critical thinking, and real-world application rather than rote learning. Students benefit from the same academic framework, faculty training standards, and quality benchmarks that have shaped the school’s Mumbai and Pune campuses, ensuring consistency in learning outcomes and global preparedness.</p>
<p>At the heart of Chatrabhuj Narsee School’s philosophy is a four-pillar learning approach—<em>learning to learn, learning to do, learning to be, and learning to live in peace and harmony</em>. This holistic framework supports not only academic achievement but also emotional intelligence, independence, and responsible citizenship.</p>
<p>Speaking on the expansion, Mr. Sujay Jairaj, Chairperson of Chatrabhuj Narsee School, said, “Indore represents ambition and potential. Our aim is to ensure that students here receive the same quality of education and global exposure as students in major international cities, while staying rooted in strong values.”</p>
<p>Mrs. Minal Thacker, Trustee and member of the founding leadership, added, “Our teaching practices are internationally aligned, but our values are deeply Indian. Education at CNS is about preparing children for life, beyond academics.”</p>
<p>Developed in collaboration with BCM Group, a trusted name in the region, the Indore campus has been thoughtfully planned to support student wellbeing and experiential learning. The campus features flexible classrooms, collaborative spaces, and an accessible location designed to reduce long daily commutes for families.</p>
<p>Admissions are now open at Chatrabhuj Narsee School Indore from Early Years 1 (Nursery) to Grade 7 for the upcoming academic year. Parents are encouraged to visit the campus to better understand the school’s learning philosophy, curriculum, and facilities.</p>
<p>Established in 2015, Chatrabhuj Narsee School is a Cambridge-accredited institution known for its blended learning model and commitment to holistic, values-based education. Guided by its <em>Pentagon Model of Development</em>, CNS continues to set benchmarks for international schooling in India.</p>

        <title>Next Crypto To Explode: DeepSnitch AI Reveals Working Interface as Stage 5 Nears Sellout, SOL and HYPE May Reverse</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/next-crypto-to-explode-deepsnitch-ai-reveals-working-interface-as-stage-5-nears-sellout-sol-and-hype-may-reverse</link>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-21T100746.230.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="crypto-pnn"></p><p dir="ltr"><span><strong>New Delhi [India], February 21:</strong> </span>US spot Bitcoin ETFs remain strong, declining to $53B from $63B October highs amid the recent massive outflows from the products.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Meanwhile, the crypto community is looking for the next crypto to explode. As most majors lose steam, <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=next-crypto-to-explode-deepsnitch-ai-revolutionary-apprach-to-ai-agent-tech-sparks-100x-projections-sol-hype-show-signs-of-reversal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a> presents a high-upside alternative.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Built around five AI agents, the project raised over $1.66M, offering affordable pricing, mass adoption potential, 100x gains projections, and whale-friendly bonuses.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Bitcoin ETFs remain bullish</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Despite recent outflows from US spot Bitcoin ETFs, the macro picture remains bullish, as per <a href="https://x.com/EricBalchunas/status/2024467802816405519">Bloomberg ETF analyst Erich Balchunas</a>.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Balchunas pointed out that net inflows reached $63B in October, logging a slight decline to around $53B at press time. Overall, this also outpaces the early projections, which put the figure at $15B on the high end.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This is coming among BTC’s 50% pullback from its $126K ATH, which notes that institutional money didn’t leave at the same pace as retail, meaning that institutions are playing the long game instead of surrendering to panic selling.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The spot ETFs will continue shaping the market, with many believing the ATH was the result of institutional money.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Still, the current price action is in a deadlock, leading smart traders to bet on the next crypto to explode in 2026, hoping for massive gains.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Coins ready to rally</h2>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI interface preview is released: Could $DSNT be the next big cryptocurrency?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">While the mass rotation into presales is in full swing amid the market standstill, not all ICOs are created equal. This also applies to the utility itself, as many projects present vague infrastructure ideas or haphazard spins on existing solutions.</p>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch takes a different approach. By catering directly to traders and promising to help them in their daily activities, the underlying platform (and consequently the token) has a solid chance at becoming one of the biggest breakout crypto projects in 2026.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Powered by five AI-agents, DeepSnitch AI’s analytics platform makes crypto trading more reliable, safer, and potentially even more lucrative.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Accessing the main dashboard, you’ll get to choose the exact analytics service you need.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In a matter of a few clicks, you get to keep your eye on sentiment shifts and FUD storms, scan tokens for rugs, find hidden gems, and potentially even track down the early alpha.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Simplicity matters since daily traders often don’t have the time to spend hours researching. This is exactly why DeepSnitch AI is so powerful, as you can also access the LLM-style DYOR assistant for instant insights, and paste a contract address to get a straight-to-the-point safety evaluation.</p>
<p dir="ltr">
The project already raised over $1.66M while the market was collapsing, proving that the conviction is there. The price of $0.04064 is also quite affordable, and if the 100x community expectations come true, DeepSnitch AI could be the next crypto to explode.</p>

<p dir="ltr">On February 19, SOL made a small recovery, pumping by 1% to reach $82, according to CoinMarketCap.</p>
<p dir="ltr">SOL’s key resistance zone is the breakdown level at $95. While the prospects seem solid considering the small recovery, there is still heavy bear activity at higher levels.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Further drops could lead to a pullback to $76 support, allowing sellers to drag SOL down to the $67 low from February 6.</p>
<p dir="ltr">To negate the bearish setup and usher in a comeback, SOL must close above $95 overhead, which will open the path to the 50-day SMA at $116.</p>
<p dir="ltr">
While SOL certainly looks like the next crypto to explode, the planned $870M token unlock could spell disaster if a large part of the unlocked tokens migrate to CEXs.</p>

<h3 dir="ltr">Hyperliquid: Will HYPE continue its recovery?</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Hyperliquid recovered to $29 on February 19, per CoinMarketCap data.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Recovering from its drop below the <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/price-predictions-2-18-btc-eth-xrp-bnb-sol-doge-bch-ada-hype-xmr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">20-day EMA at $30</a> a few days ago, HYPE’s position is improving.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Closing above $32.50 will potentially extend the rally back into the resistance zone between $35 and $38.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In the bearish scenario, if sellers start dumping HYPE in the short term,  a drop to the 50-day SMA at $27 is likely. Buyers are expected to defend this line, as losing this support could open the door to $20.80.</p>
<p>Overall, HYPE could be the next crypto to explode if buyers continue locking in.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Final words: Conviction pays</h2>
<p dir="ltr">In times of uncertainty, finding a solid narrative could make a difference between your portfolio dwindling or taking off. Majors are going through issues, yes, but that doesn’t mean the market is dead; it’s just that smart money is opting for presales.</p>
<p dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI presents a high-conviction play in Q1. With over $1.66M secured, the community is ecstatic about everything from the AI-agent analytics suite to the affordable entry, the 100x-300x projections, and, as of recently, the early incentives.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If you want to play it safe, then apply the DSNTVIP50 code to snag a 50% bonus on purchases above $5K. If you have whale aspirations, then DSNTVIP300 that unlocks 300% in extra tokens ($90K of approximate bonus value) on allocations above $30K, is the best choice.</p>

        <title>Maestro Carlo Rizzi Returns to Conduct the Symphony Orchestra of India in its 20th Year</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-20-2-26-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Maestro Carlo Rizzi"></p><p><em>The penultimate concert of the SOI Spring 2026 Season saw the orchestra perform works by Dvořák and Sibelius under the baton of Carlo Rizzi</em></p>
<p><span><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 20:</strong> </span>After nearly a decade, the renowned Italian conductor Carlo Rizzi returned to the National Centre for the Performing Arts to lead the Symphony Orchestra of India in two notable concerts for the Spring 2026 Season. His first concert opened with Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony No. 8, a cheerful composition suffused with the spirit of the Bohemian countryside, invoking the composer’s summer home. Dvořák’s imaginative writing for the woodwinds was especially palpable in Rizzi’s interpretation, before giving way to the sweeping drama of Symphony No. 2 by Jean Sibelius, a Finnish composer of the late Romantic period. Known for his structural command and instinct for long lyrical lines, Rizzi drew from the orchestra a sound that combined emotional depth with technical brilliance. His years of experience as an opera conductor bring another dimension to the music of the symphonic repertoire.</p>
<p>The SOI captivated a packed auditorium from the first note to the final crescendo, earning enthusiastic applause and a standing ovation—a testament to the orchestra’s artistry and Rizzi’s inspired direction. It was revelatory, underscoring the close artistic rapport between conductor and musicians and how that shared understanding can shape the character of a performance. The evening culminated in an encore drawn from Dvořák’s <em>Slavonic Dances</em>, its folk-inflected exuberance bringing the concert to a jubilant close.</p>
<p>NCPA Chairman and SOI Co-Founder Khushroo N. Suntook said, “This was a particularly memorable concert, one where you can sense that something truly special has been achieved onstage. With the SOI, we strive for such artistic pinnacles every season. It is especially meaningful to welcome back Carlo Rizzi, who regularly conducts at La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera, and has previously led a production of <em>La Bohème</em> at the NCPA in 2017. His return reaffirms the calibre of musicianship we continue to present.”</p>
<p>Rizzi will conduct the orchestra in the closing concert of the season on Saturday, 21 February, in a programme of works by Rossini, Puccini and Beethoven, featuring guest tenor Davide Giusti. His return to the podium is a highlight of a milestone season celebrating 20 years of the NCPA’s homegrown orchestra, the only professional ensemble of its kind in India. The Spring 2026 Season also marks the first under newly appointed Chief Conductor Martyn Brabbins, who opened the celebratory season.</p>
<p>Over the past two decades, the SOI has played a pivotal role in shaping Mumbai’s Western classical music landscape while steadily cultivating a discerning and loyal audience. Its enduring relationships with leading figures from the global music world continue to define its artistic vision in this landmark anniversary year. <a href="https://www.ncpamumbai.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.ncpamumbai.com</a></p>

Marking this shift, <a href="https://brightleafdesignstudio.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><strong>Bright Leaf Design Studio</strong></a> inaugurated its exclusive model flat at EKAM in Velimela, Tellapur, on 31st January 2026 an initiative designed to bring interior expertise directly into the heart of a residential community.</p>
<p>The model flat, located at Tower 4 – Flat 104, was formally inaugurated by <strong>Pavan </strong>and <strong>Arjun</strong>, the builders of Prosperiti Homes, along with their family members. The ceremony was conducted in a spirit of shared celebration, reflecting the collective efforts of the developer’s team and the design studio. <strong>Satish Kumar</strong>, <strong>Harsha Vardhan </strong>and <strong>Pallam Raju </strong>managing partners of <strong>Bright Leaf Design Studio</strong>, welcomed guests alongside representatives of Prosperiti Homes, underscoring the occasion as a team milestone rather than an individual spotlight.</p>
<p>The launch was curated as a community-focused gathering, featuring a clay art workshop, a dedicated kids’ fun zone, curated food counters, and interactive home automation showcases. The setting allowed residents and prospective homeowners to engage with design possibilities in a relaxed, experiential environment.</p>
<p>The EKAM X Bright Leaf collaboration has a defined and practical objective. The model flat has been established exclusively for EKAM flat owners, offering them a real-time design experience within their own community. Instead of abstract presentations, homeowners can walk through a fully realized space that demonstrates layout planning, material finishes, lighting concepts, storage optimization, and smart integrations all tailored to contemporary lifestyles.</p>
<p>The studio remains available on call and welcomes scheduled appointments at the model flat exclusively for EKAM homeowners. This embedded presence ensures direct consultation, transparent planning, and convenience at every stage of the interior journey.</p>
<p>Founded in 2018, <strong>Bright Leaf Design Studio</strong> has delivered projects for over 950 satisfied clients. The firm offers complete end-to-end and turnkey solutions, managing everything from conceptual design and budgeting to execution and final handover. Customization forms the core of its approach; each home is crafted around the client’s lifestyle, functional needs, and aesthetic preferences. Structured after-sales support further reinforces its long-term commitment to homeowners.</p>
<p>The studio’s growing footprint across premium communities reflects a deliberate strategy of community-based engagement. Beginning with SMR Vinay – Boulder Woods, followed by Kalyan Skyway 9, and now EKAM, the firm has consistently positioned itself within residential ecosystems to serve homeowners more closely. Continuing this trajectory, another exclusive model flat inauguration is scheduled shortly at Tamra Asteria, further expanding its presence across Hyderabad’s emerging residential hubs.</p>
<p>EKAM, developed by Prosperiti Homes, is designed as a contemporary residential community integrating sustainable planning principles with modern amenities and strong urban connectivity. Within this framework, the EKAM X Bright Leaf initiative represents a thoughtful alignment of architecture and interior vision.</p>
<p>The inauguration signifies more than the unveiling of a model flat. It reflects a broader commitment to making interior design accessible, customized, and community-centric ensuring that every homeowner has both inspiration and guidance close at hand.</p>
<p>As residential communities continue to redefine urban living, such embedded design initiatives are poised to shape the next chapter of personalization in housing.</p>

<p dir="ltr">The seed accelerator invites startups with finished products or breakthrough DeepTech projects at earlier stages that can contribute to the long-term development of key sectors of the economy. Some of the tech priorities are generative artificial intelligence, robotics, new materials, and other science-driven fields with high scaling potential. Special attention is given to international startups seeking to grow their business and raise investments in Russia.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The seed accelerator program will last for 12 weeks and will be conducted in English. The first stage — an online boot camp — will bring together 150 teams to shape or rethink their strategy and product, as well as propose a strategy for applying their solutions within the Sber ecosystem.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Following the boot camp selection stage, the top 25 teams will proceed into the main program to work with international mentors and Sber500 partners from among investors and large companies. The final stage of the accelerator is a demo day at the Moscow Startup Summit in the fall of 2026, where startups will pitch their solutions to the leaders of major corporations, venture fund partners, and government officials.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Alexander Vedyakhin, first deputy chairman of the Executive Board, Sberbank:</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Sber500 is a unique project for the Russian market. It combines the interests of investors, corporate partners, the state, and, of course, Sber itself. For us, it is an opportunity to build a community of technology partners around us and significantly accelerate the marketing of new products. For startups, it is a chance to acquire a client and test the viability of their product on a large infrastructure.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Sber500 teams pitch their solutions to 70 venture investors, funds, more than 30 customers, and negotiate partnerships with Sber companies. Graduates of the previous six batches raised RUB 1 bn (USD 13 mn) in investments in 2025 alone, which is approximately 14% of the Russian venture market in 2025, according to Venture Guide. All investments in the 155 graduates of the accelerator over six years surpassed RUB 4.6 bn (USD 60 mn), while their revenue grew on average four-fold within two years after the accelerator.

        <title>Modern Marriage Preparation: Crafting an Impressive Biodata and Avoiding Costly Wedding Planning Errors</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/modern-marriage-preparation-crafting-an-impressive-biodata-and-avoiding-costly-wedding-planning-errors</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/modern-marriage-preparation-crafting-an-impressive-biodata-and-avoiding-costly-wedding-planning-errors</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-100.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt=""></p><p><span><strong>New Delhi [India], February 20:</strong> </span>Marriage marks one of the most meaningful milestones in a person’s life. While traditions remain strong, the approach to finding a life partner and planning a wedding has evolved significantly. In today’s digital age, creating a compelling marriage biodata and planning a wedding strategically are two crucial steps that can shape the beginning of a lifelong journey.</p>
<p>This release explores how individuals can create an impressive marriage biodata and highlights the most common wedding planning mistakes couples should avoid.</p>
<p><strong>Why a Strong Marriage Biodata Matters More Than Ever</strong></p>
<p>A marriage biodata is often the first impression shared between families or potential partners. Unlike a typical resume, it blends personal background, family values, education, career details, and lifestyle preferences into a clear and concise introduction.</p>
<p>In competitive matchmaking environments—whether through family networks or online platforms—a well-designed biodata can significantly increase compatibility opportunities.</p>
<p><strong>Key Elements of a Strong Marriage Biodata</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Clear Personal Profile</strong><br>
Begin with essential information such as full name, age, height, date of birth, religion, and location. These details provide quick clarity and context.</p>
<p><strong>2. Educational Achievements</strong><br>
Highlight degrees earned, institutions attended, and any special certifications. Education often plays a central role in compatibility discussions.</p>
<p><strong>3. Professional Background</strong><br>
Mention your current occupation, company name, job role, and career goals. Transparency builds trust and reflects stability.</p>
<p><strong>4. Family Overview</strong><br>
Briefly introduce parents and siblings along with their professions. This section reflects family values and cultural background.</p>
<p><strong>5. Lifestyle and Interests</strong><br>
Adding hobbies, interests, and personal values gives your biodata warmth and personality. Whether you enjoy music, sports, travel, or volunteering, these insights make your profile memorable.</p>
<p><strong>6. Partner Expectations</strong><br>
Keep expectations respectful and realistic. Mention preferences regarding education, location, or shared values without being overly rigid.</p>
<p><strong>7. Professional Presentation</strong><br>
An organized layout with a clean design enhances readability. Avoid cluttered text or inconsistent formatting. A visually appealing biodata shows effort and seriousness.</p>
<p>A well-prepared biodata saves time for both families and potential matches by clearly presenting important details upfront.</p>
<p><strong>Common Wedding Planning Mistakes Couples Must Avoid</strong></p>
<p>While preparing for marriage, wedding planning often becomes overwhelming. Amid excitement, couples can make avoidable mistakes that lead to stress, financial strain, and disappointment.</p>
<p><strong>1. Underestimating Total Expenses</strong></p>
<p>Many couples set a rough budget but fail to account for additional charges such as taxes, service fees, overtime photography, or décor upgrades. Without careful tracking, expenses can quickly exceed expectations.</p>
<p><strong>Solution:</strong> Create a detailed spreadsheet and allocate funds to each category with a contingency buffer.</p>
<p><strong>2. Booking Vendors Without Research</strong></p>
<p>Choosing vendors based solely on price or social media popularity can be risky. Reviews, recommendations, and contract clarity are essential before making commitments.</p>
<p><strong>Solution:</strong> Compare multiple vendors, read testimonials, and confirm deliverables in writing.</p>
<p><strong>3. Overcomplicating the Event</strong></p>
<p>Trying to incorporate every trending idea—from elaborate themes to multiple outfit changes—can increase stress and expenses.</p>
<p><strong>Solution:</strong> Focus on meaningful elements that reflect your personality and values instead of following every trend.</p>
<p><strong>4. Delaying Key Decisions</strong></p>
<p>Popular venues, makeup artists, and photographers are often booked months in advance. Waiting too long limits options and may increase costs.</p>
<p><strong>Solution:</strong> Prioritize booking high-demand vendors early.</p>
<p><strong>5. Ignoring Emotional Well-being</strong></p>
<p>Wedding planning can become emotionally draining. Disagreements over guest lists, budgets, or traditions may create tension between partners.</p>
<p><strong>Solution:</strong> Maintain open communication and schedule breaks from wedding discussions to preserve relationship harmony.</p>
<p><strong>6. Forgetting Long-Term Planning</strong></p>
<p>Couples sometimes invest heavily in a single-day celebration while neglecting financial planning for married life.</p>
<p><strong>Solution:</strong> Balance wedding spending with future goals such as savings, housing, and travel plans.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-101061" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-1-51.jpg" alt="Modern Marriage Preparation: Crafting an Impressive Biodata and Avoiding Costly Wedding Planning Errors-PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p><strong>The Role of Digital Tools in Modern Marriage Preparation</strong></p>
<p>Technology has transformed both matchmaking and wedding planning. From digital invitations to virtual consultations with vendors, couples now have access to efficient solutions that simplify preparation.</p>
<p>Similarly, creating a professional marriage biodata no longer requires complex formatting skills. Online platforms now offer structured templates that ensure clarity, elegance, and proper organization. This not only saves time but also enhances presentation quality.</p>
<p>As expectations evolve, preparation remains the foundation of a successful marriage journey. A thoughtfully crafted biodata introduces you with confidence, while strategic wedding planning prevents unnecessary stress and financial burden.</p>
<p>Marriage is more than an event—it is a partnership built on communication, understanding, and shared vision. By approaching both biodata creation and wedding planning with care and clarity, couples can begin their new chapter on a strong and positive note.</p>

While communal and personal choices play an important role in determining when to plan a family, biological factors remain constant. Understanding how age affects fertility empowers women to make informed, timely, and confident reproductive decisions.</p>
<p><strong>Understanding Female Fertility</strong></p>
<p>Women are born with a finite number of eggs. This ovarian reserve declines gradually with age, both in number and quality. Unlike sperm production in men, egg production does not renew, making age a crucial determinant of fertility, pregnancy success, and outcomes.</p>
<p><strong>Fertility at Different Life Stages</strong></p>
<p><strong>20–29 years</strong><br>
This is the most fertile phase. Ovulation is regular, egg quality is optimal, and chances of natural conception are highest. Pregnancy-related complications are minimal.</p>
<p><strong>30–34 years</strong><br>
Fertility remains good, though a slow decline begins. Many women conceive naturally during this phase, but ovarian reserve starts decreasing silently.</p>
<p><strong>35–39 years</strong><br>
Fertility decline becomes more significant. There is a noticeable reduction in egg quality, leading to lower conception rates and higher risks of miscarriage and chromosomal abnormalities.</p>
<p><strong>40 years and above</strong><br>
Natural conception becomes challenging. Assisted reproductive techniques such as IVF may help, but success rates are lower due to reduced egg quality. Pregnancy risks such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and preterm delivery increase.</p>
<p><strong>Effect of Age on Fertility Treatments</strong></p>
<p>Age is the strongest predictor of success in fertility treatments. Younger women usually respond better to ovarian stimulation and have higher-quality embryos. As age advances, treatment cycles may increase, and in some cases, donor eggs may be advised for better outcomes.</p>
<p><strong>Fertility Preservation Options</strong></p>
<p>Women who wish to delay pregnancy can consider:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fertility assessment (AMH test and ultrasound)</li>
<li>Egg freezing at a younger age</li>
<li>Early consultation with a gynecologist or fertility specialist</li>
</ul>
<p>Healthy lifestyle habits can support reproductive health, but they cannot fully reverse age-related fertility decline.</p>
<p><strong>Final Message</strong></p>
<p>Age-related fertility decline is natural, but awareness is key. Women should seek accurate medical guidance rather than rely on myths. Timely evaluation and personalized counseling can help achieve healthy reproductive outcomes.</p>
<p>Women above 35 years should consult a gynecologist if pregnancy does not occur after six months of trying.</p>

        <title>Why the Indian Government (and PM Jan Aushadhi) Encourages You to Buy Generic Medicines Online</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/why-the-indian-government-and-pm-jan-aushadhi-encourages-you-to-buy-generic-medicines-online-15725</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/why-the-indian-government-and-pm-jan-aushadhi-encourages-you-to-buy-generic-medicines-online-15725</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-19T145014.673.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="PM Jan Aushadhi-PNN"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 20: </strong>Prescription costs can add up month after month. That is why the government promotes <a href="https://www.truemeds.in/generic-medicine-online" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>generic medicine online</strong></a> through the Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Jan Aushadhi Pariyojana (PMBJP), making treatment more affordable. This article explains how the scheme works, why generics are encouraged, what “same salt” means, and how to switch safely.</p>
<h2><strong>What is PM Jan Aushadhi</strong></h2>
<p>PMBJP is a government programme that sells affordable medicines at 50%-90% lower prices.</p>
<h3><strong>What you get: Affordable medicines through dedicated outlets</strong></h3>
<p>Over 16,900 Jan Aushadhi Kendras sell medicines at up to 50% lower than branded prices, with savings often reaching 80-90%. Supplies come from WHO-GMP certified manufacturers to ensure consistent quality.</p>
<h3><strong>How it fits into the broader “affordable healthcare” goal</strong></h3>
<p>The scheme has delivered about ₹30,000 crore in public savings in the last decade. Out-of-pocket spending fell from 62.6% (2014–15) to 39.4% (2021–22).</p>
<h2><strong>Why does the government push generics?</strong></h2>
<p>The following reasons drive this nationwide push:</p>
<h3><strong>1. Lower out-of-pocket spending for families</strong></h3>
<p>High out-of-pocket costs can drain family income, push households into debt, and force tough choices between treatment and essentials.</p>
<h3><strong>2. Wider access to essential medicines beyond big cities</strong></h3>
<p>Jan Aushadhi Kendras now cover 912 districts, and every district has access to affordable medicine outlets.</p>
<h3><strong>3. Creating competition beyond brands</strong></h3>
<p>Generic medicines typically cost 30%-80% less than their branded equivalents. Despite identical therapeutic value, branded versions often cost significantly more.</p>
<h3><strong>4. Making prescriptions easier to understand</strong></h3>
<p>Doctors must write the generic name in CAPITAL letters, as per the National Medical Commission, so you can identify the ingredient easily.</p>
<h2><strong>Are generics safe in India?</strong></h2>
<p>Understanding quality standards helps build confidence when purchasing generic medicines online.</p>
<h3><strong>What does quality mean in practice?</strong></h3>
<p>CDSCO regulates all medicines under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, and generics must meet the same quality standards as branded drugs.</p>
<h3><strong>What can differ without changing the treatment?</strong></h3>
<p>Packaging, branding, and tablet colour or shape may differ across manufacturers, but these changes do not alter how the medicine works.</p>
<h3><strong>What must never differ?</strong></h3>
<p>The active ingredient, strength, dosage form, and release type must match exactly. Generics must also demonstrate bioequivalence, meaning they work the same as branded versions.</p>
<h2><strong>The “same salt” rule</strong></h2>
<p>This commonly misunderstood concept requires careful explanation.</p>
<h3><strong>Same ingredient, not always same medicine</strong></h3>
<p>Bioequivalence tests ensure generics perform like the original, usually within an 80%-125% range for key pharmacokinetic measures.</p>
<h3><strong>The 4 must-match checks</strong></h3>
<p>Before switching, match the ingredient, strength (mg/ml), dosage form, and release type on the pack.</p>
<h2><strong>How to Switch</strong></h2>
<p>Follow these steps when considering generic alternatives.</p>
<h3><strong>Step 1: Read the prescription</strong></h3>
<p>Identify the generic/ingredient name (often in capitals), even if a brand is also written.</p>
<h3><strong>Step 2: Match the medicine details before comparing prices</strong></h3>
<p>Confirm the four must-match checks, then compare prices.</p>
<h3><strong>Step 3: Approve alternatives only after matching</strong></h3>
<p>Approve a suggested substitute only after you verify all four checks (unless your prescriber has specified otherwise).</p>
<h3><strong>Step 4: Verify on pickup</strong></h3>
<p>Check expiry, batch, invoice, and seal. Ensure not to start the medicine if anything seems off.</p>
<h2><strong>Common Misunderstandings</strong></h2>
<p>Clearing these myths builds confidence.</p>
<h3><strong>“Cheaper means fake”</strong></h3>
<p>Lower prices of the medicine reflect lower marketing costs, not lower quality. Standards stay the same for all approved medicines.</p>
<h3><strong>“Stronger strength means I should take more”</strong></h3>
<p>Strength is the amount of ingredient per dose, so never change dose or frequency without medical advice.</p>
<h3><strong>“Same salt means instant swap.”</strong></h3>
<p>An ingredient alone isn’t enough; strength, dosage form, and release type must also match.</p>
<h2><strong>Conclusion </strong></h2>
<p>When you understand why the government promotes <strong>generic medicine online</strong>, you can cut costs without compromising treatment quality. Always confirm the match and consult with your doctor or pharmacist before switching.</p>
<h2><strong>Frequently Asked Questions</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>1. Why is the government promoting generics actively?</strong></h3>
<p>It lowers out-of-pocket costs, expands access, and maintains the quality standards. PMBJP has saved about ₹30,000 crore over ten years.</p>
<h3><strong>2. How do Jan Aushadhi generics differ from branded medicines?</strong></h3>
<p>Both contain identical active ingredients and meet the same regulatory standards. Differences include pricing, packaging, and brand names.</p>
<h3><strong>3. Are same-salt medicines always safe to swap?</strong></h3>
<p>No, strength, dosage form, and release type must also match; confirm with a doctor/pharmacist if unsure.</p>
<h3><strong>4. What should I check before accepting a substitute?</strong></h3>
<p>Match ingredient, strength, dosage form, and release type, then verify expiry, batch, invoice, and the pack seal.</p>
<h3><strong>5. What should I do if my medicine looks different from before?</strong></h3>
<p>Appearance can vary, so recheck ingredient and strength on the strip/bottle and confirm with your pharmacist if anything doesn’t match.</p>

        <title>Aortic Aneurysm: The Silent Killer We Must Detect Early</title>

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/aortic-aneurysm-the-silent-killer-we-must-detect-early-15723</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-20T151431.150.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Aortic Aneurysm-PNN"></p><p><em>Dr. Ravinder Singh Rao, Chairman, Cardiac science, Vice Chairman, RHL,  Rajasthan Hospital</em></p>
<p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 20: </strong>Aortic aneurysm is one of the most dangerous yet least understood vascular diseases. It develops silently, without early symptoms, and often reveals itself only when it becomes life-threatening.</p>
<p>In simple terms, it occurs when the aorta — the main artery carrying blood from the heart — becomes weak and begins to bulge outward. Constant blood pressure on this weakened wall gradually increases the risk of rupture, which can cause massive internal bleeding and sudden death.</p>
<p>What makes this condition especially dangerous is its silent progression. Most individuals feel completely normal while the disease develops slowly over years. There is usually no pain, no discomfort, and no visible warning sign. This is why an aortic aneurysm is rightly known as a “silent killer. It is more commonly seen in men between 50 and 80 years of age although women are not completely safe either. Patients already suffering from coronary artery disease are at an even hiaher risk. Studies suggest that nearly 4 percent of such patients may develop an aortic aneurysm.”</p>
<p><strong>Who Should Be Alert</strong></p>
<p>Certain groups face a higher risk:</p>
<p>•    Smokers</p>
<p>•    Individuals with high blood pressure</p>
<p>•    People above 50 years of age</p>
<p>•    Patients with heart disease</p>
<p>•    Those with a family history of vascular disorders</p>
<p>However, risk is not limited to these groups alone. The absence of symptoms does not mean the absence of disease</p>
<p><strong>The Danger of Sudden Rupture</strong></p>
<p>When an aneurysm ruptures, the situation becomes immediately critical. Severe chest, back, or abdominal pain, sudden collapse, breathlessness, and loss of consciousness may occur within minutes. Without rapid medical intervention, survival becomes extremely difficult.</p>
<p>This reality makes early detection far more important than emergency treatment. Planned care saves lives; delayed diagnosis costs them.</p>
<p>The Role of Screening</p>
<p>Screening is the most powerful tool against this silent disease.</p>
<p>A simple ultrasound or scan can identify an aneurysm long before it becomes dangerous.</p>
<p><strong>Screening is especially important for:</strong></p>
<p>•    People above 60 years</p>
<p>•    Smokers</p>
<p>•    High blood pressure patients</p>
<p>•    Heart disease patients</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-100985" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-20T151705.413.jpg" alt="Aortic Aneurysm-PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p>Early diagnosis allows doctors to monitor the condition, plan timely intervention, and prevent catastrophic rupture.</p>
<p><strong>Modern Treatment: How EVAR Has Transformed Care</strong></p>
<p>Advances in medical science have completely changed the way aortic aneurysms are treated. Today, many patients no longer require high-risk open-chest or open-abdominal surgery.</p>
<p>One of the most advanced techniques is EVAR (Endovascular Aortic Repair) — a minimally invasive procedure in which a stent-graft is placed inside the weakened portion of the aorta through a small incision in the groin. This internal support reinforces the artery from within, prevents rupture, and restores safe blood flow.</p>
<p><strong>Unlike traditional surgery, EVAR:</strong></p>
<p>•    Avoids large surgical cuts</p>
<p>•    Reduces blood loss and surgical trauma</p>
<p>•    Minimizes complications</p>
<p>•    Shortens hospital stay</p>
<p>•    Enables faster recovery</p>
<p>•    Allows elderly and high-risk patients to receive safe treatment</p>
<p>Most importantly, EVAR converts a life-threatening disease into a planned, controlled, and treatable condition — when detected early.</p>

        <title>Chennai&amp;Built Property Intelligence Platform Helps Buyers Detect Hidden Land Risks Before Purchase</title>

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/chennai-built-property-intelligence-platform-helps-buyers-detect-hidden-land-risks-before-purchase-15721</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-20-2-26-1-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Property Intelligence"></p><p><span><strong>Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], February 20:</strong> </span>As property transactions across Tamil Nadu continue to grow, a Chennai-based proptech platform called <strong>LandLens</strong>, developed by Verified.  RealEstate, aims to help buyers and investors identify hidden land and property risks before completing a purchase.</p>
<p>The platform brings together multiple layers of property intelligence including land records, planning regulations, environmental indicators, and infrastructure constraints into a single digital verification system designed to simplify due diligence.</p>
<p>Property experts note that many disputes arise not because information is unavailable, but because it exists across multiple departments and is difficult for buyers to interpret collectively.</p>
<p>LandLens attempts to bridge this gap by organizing fragmented public data into structured insights that can be understood before financial decisions are made.</p>
<h2>Rising Need for Early Property Verification</h2>
<p>Recent developments across Chennai and surrounding regions have highlighted risks linked to land classification and regulatory compliance. Projects have faced legal scrutiny due to temple land claims, coastal regulation restrictions, wetland proximity, and environmental approvals surfacing after development stages.</p>
<p>Such situations have affected both large residential developments and individual buyers, reinforcing the importance of verification before transactions rather than after disputes begin.</p>
<p>Industry observers say preventive due diligence is becoming increasingly important as urban expansion overlaps with environmentally sensitive and historically regulated land zones.</p>
<h2>What LandLens Enables Users to Check</h2>
<p>By entering a property location or uploading documents, users can receive structured insights including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ownership and encumbrance references</li>
<li>Planning authority zoning information</li>
<li>Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) alerts</li>
<li>Flood-risk and environmental indicators</li>
<li>Temple and board land references</li>
<li>Development feasibility parameters</li>
<li>Historical satellite imagery showing land-use changes</li>
<li>Comparable transaction price intelligence</li>
</ul>
<p>The platform also provides ongoing monitoring capabilities, notifying users about ownership or encumbrance updates associated with tracked properties.</p>
<h2>Built on Large-Scale Property Analysis</h2>
<p>The underlying system powering LandLens has already been used to analyse more than <strong>100,000 properties</strong>, with learning patterns derived from over <strong>50,000 legal documents</strong> processed during development.</p>
<p>The company states that these insights helped shape automated workflows designed to make complex verification processes easier for everyday users.</p>
<h2>Technology Supporting Safer Property Decisions</h2>
<p>Real estate purchases remain among the largest financial commitments made by Indian families, yet verification processes often remain manual and fragmented.</p>
<p>Platforms like LandLens reflect a broader shift toward data-driven property evaluation, where risks can be identified early using technology rather than discovered during litigation or regulatory action.</p>
<p>The system is intended for a wide range of users, including homebuyers, NRIs, developers, lenders, and real estate professionals seeking clearer visibility into property compliance and risk factors.</p>
<p><strong>About Verified.RealEstate</strong><br>
Verified.RealEstate is a Chennai-based proptech platform focused on improving trust and transparency in real estate through verification tools, property intelligence systems, and digital transaction workflows.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><span><strong>New Delhi [India], February 20:</strong> </span>India is entering a defining chapter in private wealth history. According to EY estimates, nearly USD 1.5 trillion is expected to change hands in India over the next decade through intergenerational wealth transfer. Globally, UBS projects that approximately USD 83 trillion will transition across generations over the next 20 to 25 years.</p>
<p dir="ltr">At the same time, the structure of wealth management itself is evolving. The number of family offices in India has grown sharply from about 45 in 2018 to nearly 300 by 2024, reflecting a significant institutionalisation of family capital. Globally, single-family offices have expanded from roughly 6,130 in 2019 to more than 8,000 in 2024.</p>
<p dir="ltr">These numbers are not merely indicators of wealth growth. They point to something deeper: a transformation in how families must govern, preserve, and transition capital. For <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/soumikbandyopadhyay/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Soumik Bandyopadhyay</a>, this moment represents as much a financial opportunity as it is a governance test.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">From Asset Growth to Structural Governance</h2>
<p dir="ltr">For many years, Indian family offices were largely investment-driven. They focused on allocating surplus capital, managing portfolios, and tracking returns. However, as wealth grows in scale and crosses jurisdictions, investment management alone becomes insufficient.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Soumik Bandyopadhyay views the modern family office as a governance architecture rather than a financial desk. The challenge today is not simply generating returns but designing structures that withstand generational transition, regulatory complexity, and shifting family dynamics. Market volatility, in his view, is manageable. Structural misalignment is far more disruptive.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Intergenerational transfer introduces leadership transition risks, ownership fragmentation, liquidity mismatches, and strategic divergence between family branches. Without formal oversight, these pressures can erode wealth regardless of market performance.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">India’s Ultra-Wealth Moment</h2>
<p dir="ltr">India’s ultra-high-net-worth demographic is expanding steadily. Estimates suggest the country currently has around 13,000 families with net worth exceeding USD 30 million, a number expected to rise materially over the coming years.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This rapid accumulation creates scale. Scale introduces complexity. Many Indian business families still operate within founder-led frameworks. During growth phases, centralized control provided agility and decisive execution. But as assets diversify across operating businesses, financial investments, real estate, and global holdings, reliance on individual authority becomes a structural vulnerability.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Soumik Bandyopadhyay emphasizes that growth models must evolve into continuity models.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Designing for Risk Clarity</h2>
<p dir="ltr">One of the most overlooked elements in family wealth management is the articulation of risk. Business founders are accustomed to risk-taking. Expansion requires bold decisions. However, once capital has been built, preservation and transition require a different mindset.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In many Indian families, a large percentage of wealth remains concentrated within operating companies. Economic shocks can therefore affect both the business and the family balance sheet simultaneously.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/soumikbandyopadhyay/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Soumik Bandyopadhyay</a> stresses that designing the future family office begins with risk mapping. Families must clearly identify concentration exposure, liquidity requirements, generational obligations, and regulatory vulnerabilities.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The next generation often views capital differently. Younger members are typically more open to private equity, venture capital, global diversification, and ESG-aligned strategies. Without a structured forum for discussing these preferences, divergence can create friction. Risk dialogue must move from implicit understanding to explicit policy.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Institutional Frameworks Over Informal Authority</h2>
<p dir="ltr">A recurring shift in Soumik Bandyopadhyay’s thinking is the transition from personality-driven governance to institutionalized processes.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Founder-led decision-making works well when ownership is tightly held. As families grow across generations, decision velocity slows if authority remains centralized.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Future-ready family offices increasingly adopt mechanisms such as:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Clear articulation and continuous evaluation of risks between operating businesses and families</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Clear separation between ownership and executive management</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Defined investment and risk committees</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Structured succession frameworks</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Documented governance policies</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Transparent communication channels</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">These mechanisms do not dilute family legacy. They reinforce it. Institutionalization ensures that systems outlast individuals.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Professional Talent and Clear Mandates</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Another transformation underway is the increasing professionalization of family offices. Historically, trusted business executives often managed family capital alongside their corporate responsibilities. However, this arrangement can create conflicting incentives.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Business roles reward growth and calculated risk-taking. Family office roles prioritize capital preservation and risk containment. Combining the two can blur accountability.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Soumik Bandyopadhyay believes the future of Indian family offices lies in clearly defined mandates supported by specialized professionals. Governance experts, risk managers, and global advisors bring discipline and clarity to complex structures. Professional oversight does not replace family leadership. It strengthens execution and objectivity.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Integrating Philanthropy into Governance Design</h2>
<p dir="ltr">As wealth transitions, philanthropy increasingly becomes part of governance discussions. Younger family members are often keen to align capital with social impact. Structured and strategic philanthropy provides a bridge between financial continuity and shared purpose.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Soumik Bandyopadhyay views philanthropy as more than discretionary giving. When it is strategically aligned and embedded within governance, it becomes a unifying force. It allows family members to collaborate across generations and builds collective identity beyond operating businesses. In many cases, structured and strategic  philanthropic initiatives serve as early training grounds for next-generation leadership.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Global Complexity and Cross-Border Strategy</h2>
<p dir="ltr">With wealth becoming geographically diversified, family offices must navigate tax systems, capital controls, regulatory environments, and geopolitical risks across jurisdictions.</p>
<p dir="ltr">India’s family as well as family  capital is increasingly global, yet legacy structures often remain local. Soumik Bandyopadhyay advocates a balanced approach: act locally with cultural grounding, while thinking globally with structural awareness.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Cross-border diversification requires disciplined compliance and documentation. Governance must anticipate and pre-empt legal variation rather than react to it. Periodic strategic reviews ensure that structures remain relevant as regulations evolve.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Personalization as the Core Design Principle</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Despite increasing institutionalization, personalization remains central. No two families share identical history, risk appetite, or internal dynamics. Designing the future of Indian family offices cannot rely on templates.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/soumikbandyopadhyay/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Soumik Bandyopadhyay</a> underscores that personalization builds trust. When governance frameworks reflect real circumstances rather than theoretical models, families engage more openly. A well-designed family office is not a standard product. It is an architectural response to a family’s specific journey.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">From Wealth Creation to Wealth Stewardship</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The defining feature of the coming decade will not be asset growth alone. It will be wealth transition at scale.</p>
<p dir="ltr">India’s rapid increase in family offices signals recognition of this reality. As billions and trillions move across generations globally, continuity depends on structured stewardship.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Soumik Bandyopadhyay frames the future of Indian family offices around one central principle: institutional endurance. Governance must function independently of any one individual. Risk awareness must remain constant. Communication must be systematic. Markets will fluctuate. Generations will change. Regulatory landscapes will evolve. The families that sustain capital over decades will be those that build governance frameworks capable of adapting without fragmenting.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The expansion of family offices in India, the projected USD 1.5 trillion wealth transfer domestically, and the global transition of USD 83 trillion signal a fundamental shift in private wealth management.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Soumik Bandyopadhyay believes this is not merely a financial evolution but a governance transformation. Indian family offices must move from informal, founder-led systems to structured institutional frameworks designed for generational continuity. Designing the future requires clarity of risk, professional discipline, personalized governance, and alignment across generations.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In the end, family wealth is not tested in moments of growth. It is tested in moments of transition. And the quality of design chosen today will determine how confidently Indian families navigate the decades ahead.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-99.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Best Crypto Presales for Big Returns in 2026 Include MAXI and PARK, DeepSnitch AI Is Accelerating with USD 1.6M Raised, Dashboard Live, Stage 5 Selling Out-PNN"></p><p dir="ltr">Crypto investors around the world are a bit bored with what has happened in crypto markets this month. First, Bitcoin and most altcoins lost substantial ground. Then, it seems that a recovery isn’t coming any time soon. No wonder many of them are now looking for the best crypto presales that could add real gains to their e-wallets.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Among the several good options, one is standing out as the clearest case for a unique crypto explosion. <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presales-for-2026-maxi-park-but-supernova-400x-deepsnitch" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">DeepSnitch AI</a>, with its unprecedented AI sophistication, plus a huge market appeal, seems destined to be a 400x returns supernova that will outshine any other star in the crypto space.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">CoinDesk 20 index is consolidating</h2>
<p dir="ltr">When assessing the best crypto presales and their growth potential, investors usually compare them with Bitcoin, the biggest altcoins, or some crypto index. Among the latter, one of the most popular is the CoinDesk 20 index.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As observed on Feb. 18, the index had slightly lowered, dragged down by underperformers like Solana and Aptos. But the story for the last month is one of decline, followed by a consolidation around a low level. That’s actually good news for those willing to expand their holdings, but not the picture that most investors want to see.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If Bitcoin, altcoins, and crypto indexes are failing to show growth, it is reasonable to look for big returns elsewhere, and the best crypto presales are the logical place to search.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The next section presents a few high-potential presales for this year.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Presales with substantial growth potential in 2026</h2>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">DeepSnitch AI (DSNT)</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Those looking for exponential returns that will truly expand the size of their wallets have no better option than DeepSnitch AI. The upcoming coin is by far the most sophisticated implementation in the crypto space, fully aligned with a market that exceeds half a billion people around the world.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The system consists of a set of AI agents (most of which are already operational inside a testing environment) that transform real-time crypto data into investing intelligence. Each agent performs individual tasks that, taken as a whole, amount to a “brain ecosystem” that will disrupt crypto investing.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The unusually advanced product development stage for this highly sophisticated tool is another reason why so many investors see DeepSnitch AI as the best crypto presale right now. And those who invest now will be able to test this powerful system on its early release, making this one of the most attractive early-access token sales of 2026.</p>
<p dir="ltr">No wonder that, in only 5 stages out of 15, more than $1.65 million has been raised, despite a still low entry price of $0.04064, which creates a huge upside. But in addition to DeepSnitch AI’s explosive potential, the team is offering bonuses of different sizes, up to a jaw-dropping 300% bonus for an investment of $30k, which would turn a 100x price increase into a supernova explosion of 400x returns.</p>
<p dir="ltr">However, only those who invest now in the <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presales-for-2026-maxi-park-but-supernova-400x-deepsnitch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">presale</a> will be part of this outshining explosion in the crypto space this year.</p>
<p dir="ltr"></p>
<ol start="2">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">Maxi Doge (MAXI)</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">Maxi Doge is one of the coolest presales of this season. It features a dog-themed meme, which happens to be a bodybuilder dog involved in all sorts of funny situations. This approach contrasts with the rather simple imagery of the big dog coins DOGE and SHIB.</p>
<p dir="ltr">More than $4.6 million raised shows that this concept has been popular among presale investors. And given MAXI’s entry price of $0.0002804, there is enough room for substantial growth. All these places MAXI among the best crypto presales in the meme sector.</p>
<ol start="3">
<li dir="ltr">
<h3 dir="ltr">EarnPark (PARK)</h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">EarnPark is one of the most interesting new crypto projects. It is a platform for earning interest on digital assets. Its presale has already gone through 4 tiers successfully, and the 5th tier will begin on March 2, with a $0.02 entry price.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Some of the best crypto presales are those coming in the near future. In the case of PARK, investors can assess its performance in the previous tiers while still enjoying early access to a further round.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Conclusion</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Among the best crypto presales for this year, you can find a meme like Maxi Doge and a financial crypto like EarnPark. But for those looking for truly explosive returns, DeepSnitch AI is at the top spot.</p>
<p dir="ltr">At any event, only those who buy now in the presale and take advantage of the bonuses (30% code: DSNTVIP30, 50% code: DSNTVIP50, 150% code: DSNTVIP150, 300% code: DSNTVIP300) will see their wallets explode like a supernova star.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Visit the official website to buy into the DeepSnitch AI <a href="https://deepsnitch.ai/?utm_source=ptinews.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=best-crypto-presales-for-2026-maxi-park-but-supernova-400x-deepsnitch" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">presale</a> now, and visit <a href="https://x.com/deepsnitchai">X</a> and <a href="https://t.me/deepsnitchofficial">Telegram</a> for the latest community updates.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">FAQs</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">Why is a meme like MAXI among the best crypto presales?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Memes are still very popular, and they serve a clear purpose: serving as investment assets that can outperform BTC in many cases. DeepSnitch AI is a meme endowed with utility, a concept that has already proved to be very attractive among investors.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">What does it mean that early DeepSnitch AI investors will be able to test the system?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Presale investors will gain access to the system at the initial release stage, while all other token holders will gain access at full public launch. This gives presale buyers an important edge in benefiting earlier from a “learning brain”.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">How can DSNT’s price grow 100x?</h3>
<p dir="ltr">It all comes down to DeepSnitch AI’s massive adoption potential. When 1.35 million people are using it, DSNT’s price is estimated at $4, which is roughly 100 times its current presale price.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-20T201648.475.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Motails-PNN"></p><p><em>Founder Kkarran D Sooni introduces a new benchmark in pet hospitality focused on comfort, structure and emotional wellbeing</em></p>
<p><strong>Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], February 20: </strong>Ahmedabad’s rapidly growing community of pet parents is witnessing a significant shift in pet care standards, led by 33-year-old entrepreneur and animal lover <strong>Kkarran D Sooni</strong>, Founder of <a href="https://www.motails.in/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Motails Pet Boarding</strong></a>. With a deep-rooted belief that pets deserve more than conventional kennel-style accommodation, Kkarran D Sooni has introduced a premium pet boarding concept designed around safety, hygiene, routine and emotional balance.</p>
<p>As urban lifestyles become increasingly dynamic, frequent travel has become a necessity for many families. However, for pet parents, leaving a dog or cat behind often brings emotional stress and concern. While traditional boarding facilities provide basic shelter and feeding, they frequently lack structured engagement and behavioural awareness. Recognizing this gap, Kkarran D Sooni set out to redefine what pet boarding means in Ahmedabad.</p>
<h2>The Vision Behind Motails</h2>
<p>Motails was founded on a simple yet powerful conviction that pets are not merely animals, but family members. Having grown up around pets, Kkarran D Sooni understood early in life that emotional bonding plays a vital role in an animal’s wellbeing.</p>
<p>Over the years, he closely observed that many pet boarding centres operated like traditional kennels, with crowded layouts, minimal emotional interaction and limited understanding of behavioural stress in dogs and cats. While basic care was provided, structured routines and individualized attention were often missing.</p>
<p>As a pet parent himself, Kkarran D Sooni personally experienced the anxiety that accompanies leaving a pet behind during travel. He realized that the concern extended beyond food and shelter. It was about safety, comfort, familiarity and emotional stability. This personal experience became the driving force behind establishing Motails as a premium pet boarding centre in Ahmedabad.</p>
<h2>A Vision Beyond a Conventional Pet Hostel</h2>
<p>Kkarran D Sooni did not want to build just another pet hostel. His goal was to create a home-like pet stay experience where animals feel secure rather than confined.</p>
<p>At Motails, boarding is designed to feel like a structured vacation instead of separation anxiety. The facility emphasizes that dogs and cats must feel emotionally safe in addition to being physically secure. Hygiene standards are maintained at levels comparable to professional hospitality spaces, ensuring cleanliness and safety at all times.</p>
<p>Pets receive individual attention tailored to their temperament and needs. Supervised playtime and enrichment activities are incorporated to promote mental stimulation and physical activity. Pet parents receive transparency through regular updates and responsible monitoring, helping reduce their anxiety during the boarding period.</p>
<p>The objective is clear. Kkarran D Sooni aims to raise the benchmark for luxury pet boarding in Gujarat and establish a space where pets are treated with dignity, patience and affection.</p>
<h2>A Stress-Free Dog and Cat Boarding Facility</h2>
<p>Motails was conceptualized as a stress-free dog boarding and cat boarding facility in Ahmedabad that combines thoughtful infrastructure with professional care systems.</p>
<p>The facility integrates private and safe boarding spaces to ensure comfort and personal boundaries. Supervised leash-free activity areas allow pets to exercise and socialize under careful observation. Routine-based feeding and structured daily schedules are designed to replicate a pet’s home environment as closely as possible.</p>
<p>Behaviour-aware handling is a key component of the care system. Staff members are trained to understand pet psychology, body language and stress indicators, enabling proactive responses tailored to each animal. This approach significantly reduces behavioural anxiety and promotes emotional stability.</p>
<p>Motails also incorporates professional pet training support, adding further value to the boarding experience. Hygiene-first infrastructure, including regular sanitization and proper ventilation, ensures a healthy environment for all pets.</p>
<h2>Building Trust Through Transparency</h2>
<p>Understanding that separation can be emotionally overwhelming for pet parents, Motails prioritizes clear communication. Updates and monitoring provide reassurance and strengthen trust between the facility and families.</p>
<p>According to Kkarran D Sooni, responsible pet boarding must combine structured systems with compassion. He believes that empathy, patience and routine-based engagement create a meaningful difference in how pets experience temporary stays away from home.</p>
<h2>Elevating Standards Across Gujarat</h2>
<p>As Ahmedabad evolves into a modern and pet-friendly city, the demand for reliable and emotionally responsible pet boarding solutions continues to grow. Through Motails, Kkarran D Sooni seeks to demonstrate that luxury infrastructure, behavioural awareness and hygiene-first practices can coexist within a sustainable business model.</p>
<p>For Kkarran D Sooni, Motails represents more than entrepreneurship. It reflects a commitment to responsible animal care and a broader mission to elevate industry standards across Gujarat.</p>
<p>With its carefully designed infrastructure, structured routines and heartfelt philosophy, Motails is redefining pet hospitality in Ahmedabad. By placing emotional wellbeing at the center of its operations, the facility stands as a testament to how purpose-driven leadership can transform an entire sector.</p>

        <title>Angelic Intelligence Creator Shekhar Natarajan Receives Standing Ovation at AI Summit in New Delhi</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-20T153106.531.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Angelic Intelligence-PNN" decoding="async"></p><div>
<p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 20: </strong>The inventor of Angelic Intelligence, the next evolution of AI that teaches machines to mimic what good humans do, challenges the global AI governance establishment at Bharat Mandapam</p>
</div>
<p><a href="http://www.shekharnatarajan.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Shekhar Natarajan</strong></a>, the inventor of Angelic Intelligence and Founder & CEO of Orchestro.AI, delivered a powerful address at the AI Summit on Trust, Safety, and the Future of AI Governance at Bharat Mandapam on Wednesday, captivating an audience of global policymakers, technology executives, and international media with a bold challenge to the way the world thinks about AI ethics.</p>
<p>Natarajan’s central thesis was striking in its clarity: the current global discourse on AI ethics and governance is fundamentally broken because it is retroactive — attempting to bolt on rules and guardrails after systems are already built. Angelic Intelligence, he argued, represents the next evolution of artificial intelligence itself, one where technology is designed from the ground up to mimic what good humans do.</p>
<p>“The entire world is debating how to govern AI after the fact,” Natarajan told the packed hall. “We are putting fences around a horse that has already left the barn. Angelic Intelligence is fundamentally different. It does not ask how to restrain a machine. It asks how to build a machine that is inherently good — one that mimics the best of human virtue, not the worst of human ambition.”</p>
<p>The summit, held at Conference Hall 1 of the iconic Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, brought together leading voices on AI governance and ethics. But it was Natarajan’s remarks that drew the most phenomenal reception of the day. His presentation was met with sustained applause, and attendees described it as a paradigm-shifting intervention that reframed the entire conversation.</p>
<p>The Angelic Intelligence framework, which Natarajan has protected through a portfolio of over 70 patents, embeds human ethics directly into computational architecture rather than treating morality as an afterthought. It features 27 specialised “Digital Angels” — AI agents that embody cross-cultural virtues such as compassion, justice, and wisdom, and collaborate on ethical decision-making in real time. Unlike existing AI governance frameworks that seek to regulate machine behaviour externally, Angelic Intelligence makes virtue the native language of the machine itself.</p>
<p>“Ethics cannot be a patch. It cannot be a compliance checklist,” Natarajan said. “If you have to teach a machine not to be harmful, you have already built the wrong machine. Angelic Intelligence starts from a different place entirely — it starts from love.”</p>
<p><strong>From Street Lights to the World Stage</strong></p>
<p>Natarajan’s journey to the forefront of global AI ethics is itself a remarkable testament to human resilience. Born in South Central India, he grew up studying under street lights because his family had no electricity. His mother, whose sacrifices defined the trajectory of his life, once pawned her wedding ring for 30 rupees to pay his school fees, and stood outside a headmaster’s office every day for an entire year to secure his admission.</p>
<p>He arrived in America with just $34 in his pocket. What followed was a career that would reshape the logistics and supply chain landscape of some of the world’s most powerful corporations. Over 25 years of Fortune 500 leadership, Natarajan held senior positions at Walmart — where he grew the grocery delivery business from $30 million to $5 billion — as well as Disney, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Target, and American Eagle. He holds degrees from Georgia Tech, MIT, Harvard Business School, and IESE.</p>
<p>Yet it was not corporate success but a deeper calling that led Natarajan to found Orchestro.AI and develop Angelic Intelligence. “Every morning at 4 AM, I practise classical Indian painting,” he shared during the summit. “It taught me that the best solutions come not from speed, but from patience. We must build AI with love, not just with code.”</p>
<p><strong>A New Voice in Global AI Governance</strong></p>
<p>During the summit’s media interaction, Natarajan fielded questions from journalists on topics ranging from AI regulation in emerging markets to the practical applications of virtue-based computing for small businesses. His critique of the prevailing retroactive approach to AI governance — and his proactive alternative — generated significant discussion among delegates, many of whom acknowledged the limitations of current regulatory frameworks.</p>
<p>Natarajan’s appearance at Bharat Mandapam comes on the heels of growing international recognition for his work. With invitations to speak at the World Economic Forum and the Future Investment Initiative, he is rapidly emerging as one of the most distinctive and disruptive voices in the global conversation about how artificial intelligence should be built — not merely governed.</p>
<p>“My mother stood outside a headmaster’s office for 365 days so I could get an education,” Natarajan reflected. “That kind of love — that sacrifice — is what I want to encode into the machines we build. If AI cannot understand dignity, it has no business making decisions about human lives.”</p>
<p>The session concluded to a standing ovation, with multiple delegates approaching Natarajan for further discussion on potential collaborations and implementation of the Angelic Intelligence framework across sectors including healthcare, education, and public governance.</p>

<p>The Center represents a deepened academic collaboration between CGC University and Capgemini, bringing enterprise-grade practices, workflows and project environments directly into the academic framework. Conceived as a cutting-edge experiential learning space, the facility moves beyond traditional laboratory formats to reflect the structure, pace and collaborative culture of contemporary technology organisations.</p>

<p>Beyond student engagement, the Center will also facilitate faculty upskilling and curriculum alignment initiatives, ensuring sustained academic relevance in line with evolving industry standards. The collaboration is intended to operate as a long-term academic partnership rather than a standalone infrastructure development.</p>

<p>Delhi-based <strong>ZAM ZAM PERFUMERS</strong>, a heritage fragrance house established in 1991 in Hazrat Nizamuddin, has announced the launch of its new premium unisex fragrance oil, <a href="https://zamzamperfumers.com/products/hayaam" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><em>Hayaam</em></a>, ahead of the upcoming festive and wedding season.</p>
<p>Industry observers note that non-alcoholic attars are gaining popularity among consumers seeking longer-lasting, skin-friendly alternatives to conventional spray perfumes. The segment is also witnessing increased traction during Ramadan and Eid, when demand for alcohol-free formulations traditionally rises.</p>
<p><strong>Growing Market for Concentrated Fragrance Oils<br>
</strong>According to retailers, concentrated perfume oils are increasingly preferred for their longevity and subtle projection. Unlike mass-market sprays, attars are applied directly to the skin and develop gradually over time.</p>
<p>“Hayaam has been introduced as a premium unisex fragrance designed for festive wear, social gatherings, and gifting,” the company said in a statement.</p>
<p>The 20 ml fragrance oil features a composition that blends fruity and floral top notes with warm woody and amber undertones, positioning it within the brand’s higher-value segment.</p>
<p><strong>Festive & Wedding Season Demand<br>
</strong>Fragrance retailers typically report a surge in sales during:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ramadan evenings</li>
<li>Eid celebrations</li>
<li>Wedding season (October–March cycle)</li>
<li>Community gatherings and gifting periods</li>
</ul>
<p>With wedding-related consumption forming a significant share of premium attar sales, brands are increasingly focusing on sophisticated packaging and gender-neutral blends.</p>
<p>Hayaam is presented in a gold-accented bottle aimed at the premium gifting category.</p>
<p><strong>Expansion of Traditional Brands into Modern Retail<br>
</strong>Over the past decade, several traditional fragrance houses have expanded from local markets into structured retail and e-commerce platforms. <a href="https://zamzamperfumers.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ZAM ZAM PERFUMERS</a> currently operates multiple retail outlets and an online storefront, serving customers across India.</p>
<p>Market analysts suggest that rising awareness around alcohol-free and oil-based perfumes has helped traditional players remain competitive despite the dominance of global spray perfume brands.</p>
<p><strong>Premiumisation Within the Attar Industry<br>
</strong>Industry participants say there is a visible shift toward premiumisation within the attar category. While affordable 6 ml bottles continue to dominate volume sales, higher-priced fragrance oils in decorative packaging are gaining traction among urban consumers.</p>
<p>Hayaam has been positioned in this premium bracket, targeting buyers looking for long-lasting, non-alcoholic fragrance options suitable for both personal use and gifting.</p>
<p><strong>Outlook<br>
</strong>With festive demand cycles, wedding season spending, and increasing digital discovery of traditional brands, the non-alcoholic fragrance oil segment is expected to remain active in the coming months.</p>
<p>Retailers indicate that consumer interest in concentrated perfume oils reflects a broader trend toward heritage-inspired yet contemporary fragrance choices.</p>

<div>
<p><span data-sheets-root="1"><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 20</strong>: </span>U.S. real estate remains one of the most established and institutionalized asset classes globally. Yet capital deployment into this market, particularly across ownership formats and jurisdictions continues to involve operational fragmentation, regulatory complexity, and limited coordination between operating sponsors and investors.</p>
<p>Raveum initially enabled international participation in U.S. real estate and has since expanded to include U.S.-based investors. As the platform has grown, we have strengthened sponsor vetting, regulatory systems, and reporting standards to support disciplined capital formation across jurisdictions.</p>
<p>Today, we have closed our seed round, raising $1.3 million at a $22.8 million valuation. This milestone reinforces the development of a compliant, technology-enabled framework designed to formalize investment into U.S. real estate across domestic and international capital sources.</p>
<p>On one side, experienced U.S. operating sponsors seek governance-aligned capital to expand income-generating assets. On the other, accredited investors, international allocators, wealth managers, and institutions seek regulated exposure to institutional-grade U.S. assets.</p>
<p>Raveum integrates these sides through disciplined underwriting standards, structured participation frameworks, and regulatory-aligned compliance architecture. It is infrastructure built for durability.</p>
<p>The newly raised capital will advance sponsor onboarding systems, enhance proprietary compliance and reporting technology, deepen institutional partnerships, and strengthen operational controls across ownership formats.</p>
<p>This progress reflects collective effort.</p>
<p>Our team has built with precision and long-term focus.</p>
<p>Our board and advisors have reinforced governance oversight.</p>
<p>Our operating partners uphold underwriting standards that strengthen investor confidence.</p>
<p>Our early investors aligned with a compliance-led strategy from inception.</p>
<p>We are grateful for their trust.</p>
<p>As capital becomes increasingly mobile, participation must become increasingly coordinated. The future of U.S. real estate investment will demand transparency, regulatory clarity, and scalable governance systems.</p>
<p>Raveum’s long-term mission is to build those rails responsibly.</p>
<p>The seed round reinforces the foundation.</p>
<p>The responsibility to execute with discipline continues.</p>

        <title>Thrillophilia Unveils a New Generation of Europe Trips for 2026, Emphasising Slower Journeys</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/thrillophilia-unveils-a-new-generation-of-europe-trips-for-2026-emphasising-slower-journeys-15702</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/thrillophilia-unveils-a-new-generation-of-europe-trips-for-2026-emphasising-slower-journeys-15702</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-20-2-26-1-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Thrillophilia" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], February 20: </strong>As Indian travellers increasingly move beyond checklist sightseeing of Europe, the focus is steadily shifting from hurried sightseeing to journeys that offer depth, comfort and time to explore. Reflecting this change in travel preferences, Thrillophilia has announced the launch of its <a href="https://www.thrillophilia.com/regions/europe/tours" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2026 Europe multi-day travel portfolio</a>, signalling a clear move away from fast-paced, multi-country trips toward slower, more immersive and highly personalised journeys.</p>
<p>Based on its 2025 travel data, the company observed a 38% increase in travellers’ preference for slower pacing and fewer destinations. The trend signals a broader shift toward depth over coverage. In response, the company has restructured its itineraries to minimise excessive city transitions, insert buffer time and prioritise longer stays within single regions.</p>
<p>To turn these behavioural shifts into actual trip experiences, Thrillophilia has launched itineraries designed for specific traveller segments. This includes a 7-night Swiss Alps holiday plan with a relaxed pace that has resonated strongly with families from tier 2 cities like Jaipur, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Bhubaneswar and Indore. This follows a 14% shift towards covering fewer destinations at a relaxed pace and a 19% rise in travellers choosing comfort-first holidays.</p>
<p>Similarly, a relaxed Tuscany countryside circuit has been curated for couples from cities like Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Gurugram and Hyderabad. This comes in response to a 42% increase in demand for cultural and local experiences, while interest in trips focused only on famous landmarks has fallen by 14%.</p>
<p>Catering to these trends, the new lineup reflects a broader change in how Indian travellers now approach Europe – not as a continent to be “covered” in one trip, but as regions to be explored in depth over time. The itineraries move away from crowded capital cities and tight schedules, focusing instead on small towns, countryside stays, scenic mountain routes, regional rail journeys and local cultural experiences.</p>
<h2><strong>Designed for the New Europe Traveller</strong></h2>
<p>Thrillophilia’s 2026 Europe portfolio is built around a simple insight: Indian travellers today care as much about “how a trip feels” as “where it goes”. Booking data reflects this shift clearly.</p>
<p>Across segments, there has been a 35% move toward itineraries covering 2 to 3 cities, with built-in buffer days and more relaxed pacing. Though the shift is nationwide, Indian Tier 1 metros can specifically observe this trend. Young professionals from Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad and Delhi NCR are planning quick international getaways to escape demanding work schedules. Travellers are now choosing Europe trips that allow breathing room rather than replicating the rush they are trying to leave behind.</p>
<p>Aligning with this traveller demand, the company introduced 6-day “micro-escape Europe” itineraries designed for shorter holidays. This includes Paris with Swiss scenic train journeys, which have seen strong interest from travellers in Gurugram, Noida and Bengaluru. The demand reflects a 43% increase in weekend-style travel and a 51% rise in people taking multiple short trips in a year.</p>
<p>Similarly, Vienna–Budapest cultural weekend trips are gaining popularity among young working professionals from Hyderabad and Chennai, driven by a 47% increase in interest in nightlife experiences.</p>
<p>What’s notable is that this preference is no longer limited to large metros. Tier 2 cities such as Jaipur, Kochi, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Indore and Chandigarh are showing similar behaviour, driven by a rising Gen Z workforce and greater exposure to international travel. The focus across markets is shifting toward comfort, flow and depth over aggressive coverage.</p>
<p>Interestingly, travellers from Ahmedabad, Surat and Vadodara are increasingly choosing multi-generational holidays. This trend aligns with a 21% rise in demand for customised itineraries and a 16% increase in advance planning.</p>
<p>In response, Thrillophilia has introduced comfort-first Europe itineraries with private transfers and longer stays in cities across Switzerland and Northern Italy, making travel easier for families of all age groups.</p>
<p>Thus, catering to the traveller demands, Thrillophilia’s new itineraries prioritise fewer hotel changes, realistic daily pacing and more meaningful time spent within each region. Instead of hopping between five or six cities, travellers can now opt for experiences such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Alpine village stays in <a href="https://www.thrillophilia.com/countries/switzerland/tours" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Switzerland</a>, along with mountain rail journeys and lakeside walks</li>
<li>Countryside itineraries across Tuscany, Provence and French wine regions</li>
<li>Slow rail journeys through Austria and Central Europe</li>
<li>Regional Italy trips centred on food, local markets and historic towns</li>
<li>Nature-led Europe routes featuring scenic drives, cable cars and gentle day hikes</li>
</ul>
<p>Data suggests that group travellers, especially friend groups travelling from Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata, are choosing lively and social Central Europe routes covering Prague, Vienna and Budapest. This trend reflects a 58% rise in adventure-focused trips and a 47% increase in demand for experience-driven nightlife itineraries among young travellers.</p>
<p>Aligning with this trend, each itinerary by the company is fully customisable. It allows travellers to adjust pace, hotel category, transport options and experiences depending on who they are travelling with.</p>
<h2><strong>Local Experiences, Not Just Landmarks</strong></h2>
<p>A defining feature of the 2026 lineup is its focus on local flavour and offbeat experiences rather than landmark-heavy sightseeing alone. Alongside iconic attractions, travellers can choose from experiences such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Visits to family-run vineyards and farm stays</li>
<li>Regional food trails and hands-on cooking sessions</li>
<li>Small-town walking tours and cultural evenings</li>
<li>Lake cruises, mountain excursions and panoramic rail routes</li>
<li>Buffer days that are built in to avoid fatigue and rushed schedules</li>
</ul>
<p>For honeymooners from Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad, the company has introduced thoughtfully planned itineraries with relaxed schedules, flexible activity days and scenic travel time. These trips reflect recent travel trends, with a 38% rise in demand for mid-premium stays and a 34% increase in travellers looking for flexible plans that also allow them to work remotely.</p>
<p>By design, these itineraries avoid peak-hour sightseeing and overcrowded circuits, offering a calmer and more immersive way to experience Europe.</p>
<h2><strong>Stronger Rail and On-Ground Partnerships</strong></h2>
<p>To support these trips at scale without compromising on quality, Thrillophilia has expanded its on-ground network across Europe. The company has partnered with hundreds of regional suppliers, boutique hotels, transport providers and experience operators.</p>
<p>Recent booking insights show:</p>
<ul>
<li>18% growth in Switzerland rail journeys among luxury travellers</li>
<li>24% rise in Gen Z multi-country Europe trips, led by young professionals from Chennai, Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Gurugram.</li>
</ul>
<p>Rail connectivity now plays a central role in both premium alpine itineraries and culture-driven city circuits.</p>
<p>A key highlight of the 2026 programme is deeper integration with European rail networks through partnerships, including Rail Europe and Switzerland Tourism. These tie-ups enable access to scenic train routes, improved seat availability and more competitive pricing across countries.</p>
<p>Thrillophilia has also strengthened collaborations with European tourism boards and attraction partners, bringing curated experiences and preferential pricing that are often unavailable in standard package tours.</p>
<h2><strong>Technology-Enabled, Human-Led Customisation</strong></h2>
<p>What sets the 2026 Europe trips apart is how they are designed and executed. Thrillophilia uses AI-assisted systems to generate and evaluate thousands of itinerary combinations, factoring in travel time, rail schedules, hotel logistics and travel fatigue. These itineraries are then refined by human destination specialists who focus on comfort, pacing and on-ground reliability.</p>
<p>This hybrid model allows Thrillophilia to offer highly customised Europe trips at scale while maintaining consistency and on-ground support. Such a balance has historically been difficult to achieve, yet Thrillophilia is transforming the scene with its new Europe travel model. The approach uses technology to manage the complexity of multi-layered travel operations, while human teams ensure the trip flows smoothly in real-world conditions.</p>
<p>According to company data, trips designed using this feasibility-first approach see fewer mid-trip changes and higher satisfaction levels, particularly among families, repeat travellers and premium leisure segments.</p>
<h2><strong>A Different Europe Offering for 2026</strong></h2>

<p><span lang="EN-IN" data-contrast="auto">Industry priorities continue to reinforce this need.

        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/sat-acceptability-around-the-world-an-all-access-pass-to-global-higher-education</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-20-2-26.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="SAT" decoding="async"></p><p dir="ltr"><strong>New Delhi [India], February 20: </strong>In today’s interconnected world, students increasingly look beyond national borders for high-quality education. For many of them, the <a href="https://www.jamboreeindia.com/sat-prep" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SAT</a> has become more than just an exam, providing a shared language of academic readiness across diverse education systems.</p>
<p dir="ltr">While the SAT was originally designed for college admissions in the United States, its global significance has broadened dramatically. Today, universities in Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, India, Singapore, and many other countries across the world increasingly recognise SAT scores as part of holistic admissions.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">United States</h2>
<p dir="ltr">In the United States, the SAT remains one of the most widely recognised admission tests for undergraduate study. Long regarded as a cornerstone of U.S. university admissions, the SAT is accepted by nearly all four-year colleges and universities.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Why the SAT Still Matters in the U.S.</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Despite the growing trend of test-optional policies at some institutions, the SAT continues to play a significant role:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Benchmarking academic readiness: SAT scores allow admissions officers to compare students from different high school systems on a common scale.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Scholarship eligibility: Many universities and external scholarship programs use SAT results as part of their criteria.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Holistic reviews: SAT scores often complement coursework, essays, recommendations, and extracurriculars, helping to round out a student’s application.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">For students eyeing a U.S. education, a strong SAT score still serves as a powerful tool to strengthen their academic profile and stand out in competitive applicant pools.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Canada</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Canadian universities are increasingly welcoming international applicants, and many of them accept SAT scores as part of the admissions review process. While provincial systems vary, SAT scores are particularly useful for applicants whose qualifications don’t directly align with local grading scales.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Role of SAT in Canadian Admissions</h3>
<p dir="ltr">In Canada, SAT results may:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Be used to supplement academic records</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Serve as an alternative for international credentials</p>
</li>

<p>The industry-academia-government discussion, featuring leading industry and academic leaders, highlighted AI as a foundational enabler of productivity, competitiveness, and innovation across India’s industrial sectors, aligned with the national vision of Viksit Bharat @2047.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69617" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-1-34.jpg" alt="Union Minister Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw Outlines India’s AI Priorities for Manufacturing Engineering Technology (MET) at Strategic Convening of Industry and Academia-PNN" width="1200" height="675"></p>
<p>This convening builds on the momentum of the Industry-Academia Roundtable held in May 2025 at Bharat Mandapam, which underscored the need for collective action to enable India’s industrial transformation. Consequently, the Manufacturing Engineering Technology (MET) platform is being envisaged—convened and catalysed by NAMTECH—to bring together industry, academia, and government in a shared governance and execution model, and place manufacturing at the core of India’s accelerated growth and decarbonization agenda.</p>
<p>The event also marked the launch of the White Paper Concept on “AI for Manufacturing Engineering Technology (AI-MET)” by the hon’ble Minister Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw. The White Paper Concept presents a strategic framework for embedding AI across manufacturing and associated value chains to drive productivity, sustainability, and global competitiveness. It outlines a process for putting together coordinated pathways for industry, academia, and policymakers for embedding AI across India’s MET ecosystem.</p>
<p>Speaking at the event, Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw said:<br>
“Artificial intelligence is a foundational pillar in India’s journey towards Viksit Bharat. By integrating AI across Manufacturing Engineering Technology, we can enhance productivity, strengthen competitiveness, and unlock new opportunities for innovation and entrepreneurship. Our focus is on building an inclusive AI ecosystem that empowers enterprises and MSMEs alike, while preparing India’s workforce for the future. Initiatives such as the AI-MET White Paper reflect the kind of collaborative, mission-driven approach needed to translate technological capability into outcomes on the ground. I am happy that NAMTECH has taken the lead in convening industry, academia, and policymakers towards this shared national objective. My request to NAMTECH would be to use this opportunity to develop the next level of talent that can enable India to emerge as a major manufacturer of precision equipment.”</p>
<p>Prof. Eric Grimson, Chancellor for Academic Advancement, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Boston, USA, added:<br>
“The next phase of India’s AI journey will be defined by its ability to move from capability to application—embedding AI across industry, enterprises, and MSMEs, investing in skills at scale, and ensuring that innovation remains inclusive. This requires sustained collaboration across academia, industry, and government to build systems that can translate research and technology into real-world outcomes.”</p>
<p>Convened by NAMTECH under the leadership of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), the strategic session is closely aligned with the national vision of Viksit Bharat @2047, the objectives of the IndiaAI Mission, and the broader agenda of the India AI Impact Summit.</p>
<p>By bringing together government, academia, and industry to focus on adoption, skills, and inclusion across the Manufacturing Engineering Technology (MET) ecosystem, the convening reflects a coordinated, systems-driven approach to translating India’s AI ambitions into measurable outcomes for industrial competitiveness and workforce transformation.</p>
<p>Mr. Pravin Panchagnula, Executive Director – Manufacturing & Conglomerates, Microsoft India, remarked:<br>
“The impact of AI in India’s industrial sectors will be determined by its deployment on the shop floor and across complex engineering systems. Enabling adoption among MSMEs, alongside targeted skilling and upskilling of the workforce, will be essential for building resilient and globally competitive manufacturing value chains.”</p>
<p>Mr. Vinod Karumampoyil, Director – Digital Transformation, Cisco India, added:<br>
“As AI becomes integral to modern manufacturing, building strong application-oriented skills across the workforce is essential. Closer collaboration between industry and academic institutions will be key to ensuring that talent is prepared to deploy AI responsibly and at scale, strengthening productivity and competitiveness across India’s manufacturing ecosystem.”</p>
<p>Ms. Swapna Bapat, MD & Vice President – India & SAARC, Palo Alto Networks, remarked:<br>
“In the landscape of cybersecurity and IT, poorly designed Operational Technology (OT) poses a significant risk. Designing a secure, enterprise-grade network requires three critical elements. As AI becomes a cornerstone of modern manufacturing, we must prioritize building application-oriented skills across the workforce. Our goal is to bridge the gap between education and industry, bringing modern network security principles into schools to ensure students are ready for immediate workplace deployment.”</p>
<p>Mr. Dilip Sawhney, Managing Director – India, Rockwell Automation, added:<br>
“For India’s manufacturing sector, the real impact of AI will be realised when it is integrated into industrial automation systems and deployed at scale across production environments. Bridging the gap between digital innovation and shop-floor execution requires strong collaboration between industry, academia, and government. Initiatives such as this create the ecosystem needed to accelerate adoption, strengthen workforce capability, and enhance the global competitiveness of India’s manufacturing value chains.”</p>
<p>Dr. Ibrahim Hafeezur Rehman, Operating Director General & CEO, NAMTECH, remarked:<br>
“By grounding education in real-world industrial contexts, NAMTECH aims to show how application-oriented learning can enable day-zero deployment of talent into production environments. Through the MET Platform and partnerships with industry and academia, this approach can help shape scalable models for preparing the workforce for India’s Manufacturing Engineering Technology transformation.”</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-20-2-26.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Key for a Keychain by Mansi Rai"></p><p><em>Key for a Keychain by Mansi Rai</em></p>
<p><span><strong>New Delhi [India], February 20:</strong> </span>At just 28, <strong>Mansi Rai</strong>, an author based in Kelowna, Canada, is already living a life shaped equally by logic and imagination. Professionally working in telecommunications, Mansi was born in Jalandhar and moved to Canada at the age of 18, where she completed her graduation. Beyond her career, however, lies a deeply rooted love for books—both reading and writing—that has quietly guided her journey toward authorship.</p>
<p>Writing entered her life early. She began in Grade 10, first expressing herself through poetry before gradually finding her voice in storytelling. Over the past five years, her focus shifted decisively to fiction. She wrote her first book in 2022, followed by two complete novels, and it was only after this prolific phase that she made the conscious decision to publish her debut. That moment, she reflects, was when she truly realized she wanted to be a writer—an experience that still feels unreal, almost dreamlike.</p>
<p>Her debut book, <strong>Key for a Keychain</strong>, available through her website Authormansirai.com, is a tender exploration of relationships, friendships, love, and emotional self-discovery. At its core, the book speaks to the vulnerability of first loves and first heartbreaks, and the confusion that often accompanies understanding one’s own feelings. Through her storytelling, Mansi reassures readers that these emotions—no matter how overwhelming or uncertain—are valid, and that everything unfolds for a reason.</p>
<p>Driven by what she fondly calls her “hyper-imaginative brain,” <strong>Mansi </strong>writes with empathy and emotional honesty. Her hope is that readers, especially those navigating love without clear answers, will come away with a deeper understanding of themselves and the quiet reassurance that they are not alone in their experiences.</p>
<p>An avid reader herself, <strong>Mansi </strong>is rarely without a book. If not carrying a physical copy, she has her Kindle close at hand, constantly working through her ever-growing TBR pile. When she isn’t reading, she enjoys watching classic romance films—<em>Pride and Prejudice</em> being a particular favourite—while also indulging her love for horror and mystery thrillers.</p>
<p>Looking ahead, her literary journey is only just beginning. She has already written two more books: one a small-town romance and the other a dark romance. She also plans to explore the mystery genre and emotionally driven narratives in the future, further expanding the range of stories she tells.</p>
<p><strong>For aspiring writers, Mansi offers a simple yet powerful message: </strong><em>Never give up. Write for yourself, even if no one is reading—because you never know where the journey may lead. </em>As a reader-turned-author, she remains deeply grateful to every person who chooses to spend their precious time with her stories, acknowledging the profound power held in simply picking up a book.</p>
<p>With <strong><em>Key for a Keychain</em></strong><strong>, Mansi Ra</strong>i opens the door not just to a story, but to emotions we all recognize—and perhaps, to understanding ourselves a little better.</p>

        <title>“When Love Comes With Conditions, the Soul Learns to Perform” A deep conversation with Dr. Seema Nambiar on the invisible wounds of childhood and their echoes in adulthood</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://pnn.digital/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2026-02-20T144733.851.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Dr. Seema Nambiar-PNN"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 20: </strong>As an interviewer with over 15 years in mental health publishing, I<span dir="RTL">’</span>ve learned this truth the hard way: the deepest wounds rarely scream—they whisper.</p>
<p>Conditional love and emotional neglect don<span dir="RTL">’</span>t leave bruises. They leave blueprints—quiet, internal architectures that shape how adults love, perform, decide, and survive. In this conversation, Dr. Seema Nambiar peels back the layers on one of the most normalised yet misunderstood forms of childhood trauma.</p>
<p>What unfolds is not theory alone—<span dir="RTL">it</span><span dir="RTL">’</span>s recognition, relief, and a roadmap to healing.</p>
<p>Q1. Dr. Seema, let<span dir="RTL">’</span>s start at the root. Conditional love sounds subtle—almost harmless. Why is it actually so psychologically damaging?</p>
<p><em>Dr. Seema Nambiar:</em></p>
<p>Because it teaches a child a devastating equation: love equals performance. When affection is tied to obedience, achievement, or emotional suppression, the child doesn<span dir="RTL">’</span>t learn who they are—they learn how to be acceptable. Over time, the self becomes conditional too. The child internalises, <span dir="RTL">“</span>I am loveable only when I do, not when I am.<span dir="RTL">” </span>That belief doesn<span dir="RTL">’</span>t dissolve with age—it scales into adulthood.</p>
<p>Q2. Many adults say, <span dir="RTL">“</span>Nothing terrible happened in my childhood.<span dir="RTL">” </span>Yet they feel anxious, empty, or never enough. How do you explain this disconnect?</p>
<p><em>Dr. Seema:</em></p>
<p>That<span dir="RTL">’</span>s the invisibility of emotional neglect. When pain is normalised, it doesn<span dir="RTL">’</span>t register as trauma—it registers as personality. People don<span dir="RTL">’</span>t say, <span dir="RTL">“</span>I was emotionally neglected.<span dir="RTL">” </span>They say, <span dir="RTL">“</span><span dir="RTL">I</span><span dir="RTL">’</span>m too sensitive,<span dir="RTL">” “</span>I overthink,<span dir="RTL">” “</span>I can<span dir="RTL">’</span><span dir="RTL">t rest.” </span>These are not flaws. They are adaptations to an environment where emotional needs were unmet.</p>
<p>Q3. From your work, what are the most common adult pain patterns rooted in conditional love?</p>
<p><em>Dr. Seema:</em></p>
<p>High-functioning anxiety. Chronic self-doubt. Perfectionism that looks like ambition. People-pleasing that masquerades as kindness. A fear of intimacy—or a fear of being alone. Many of these adults are competent, successful, even admired. Internally, though, they<span dir="RTL">’</span>re exhausted from constantly proving their worth.</p>
<p>Q4. The article discusses identity fragmentation. Can you explain what that looks like in real life?</p>
<p><em>Dr. Seema:</em></p>
<p>It looks like living through roles instead of essence. Achievement becomes identity. Caretaking becomes identity. Being <span dir="RTL">“</span><span dir="RTL">strong” </span>becomes identity. But remove the role, and there<span dir="RTL">’</span>s a terrifying question underneath: Who am I if I stop performing? That<span dir="RTL">’</span>s where emptiness and burnout live.</p>
<p>Q5. One striking theme is indecisiveness. Why do adults from critical or conditional homes struggle so much with choices?</p>
<p><em>Dr. Seema:</em></p>
<p>Because choice once came with punishment. When a child<span dir="RTL">’</span>s decisions are mocked, corrected, or controlled, they learn to outsource authority. In adulthood, every decision feels loaded—wrong choices once meant loss of love. So the nervous system freezes. Indecision isn<span dir="RTL">’</span>t weakness; it<span dir="RTL">’</span>s fear memory.</p>
<p>Q6. The case studies show people who look <span dir="RTL">“</span><span dir="RTL">strong” </span>but feel broken inside. How does that split happen?</p>
<p><em>Dr. Seema:</em></p>
<p>Strength becomes armour<span dir="RTL">.</span> When vulnerability was unsafe, competence became protection. Many adults build impressive external lives while carrying deep shame internally. They fear being exposed—not as incapable, but as unworthy. Healing begins when strength is no longer used to hide pain.</p>
<p>Q7. Let<span dir="RTL">’</span>s talk healing. Is awareness enough—or does recovery require deeper therapeutic work?</p>
<p><em>Dr. Seema:</em></p>
<p>Awareness opens the door. Healing requires relationship. Attachment-based therapy, parts work, inner-child reparenting—these approaches don<span dir="RTL">’</span>t just fix thoughts; they repair emotional trust. Healing isn<span dir="RTL">’</span>t about self-improvement. It<span dir="RTL">’</span>s about self-permission: the right to exist without earning love.</p>
<p>Q8. For someone reading this and recognising themselves—what is the first compassionate step forward?</p>
<p><em>Dr. Seema:</em></p>
<p>Stop asking, <span dir="RTL">“</span>What<span dir="RTL">’</span>s wrong with me?<span dir="RTL">”</span></p>
<p>Start asking, <span dir="RTL">“</span>What happened to me?<span dir="RTL">”</span></p>
<p>Your patterns were once survival strategies. You<span dir="RTL">’</span>re not broken—you<span dir="RTL">’</span>re patterned. And patterns can be gently, safely rewritten.</p>
<p>Conditional love doesn<span dir="RTL">’</span>t raise bad children.</p>
<p>It raises adaptive adults who forget how to rest, feel, and receive.</p>
<p>This conversation is not an indictment of parents—<span dir="RTL">it</span><span dir="RTL">’</span>s an invitation to awareness, repair, and conscious healing.</p>
<p>Key Takeaways</p>
<p><span dir="RTL">            •           </span>Conditional love teaches performance over presence</p>
<p><span dir="RTL">            •           </span>Emotional neglect often hides behind <span dir="RTL">“</span><span dir="RTL">normal” </span>childhoods</p>
<p><span dir="RTL">            •           </span>Adult anxiety, perfectionism, and people-pleasing are survival patterns</p>
<p><span dir="RTL">            •           </span>Healing is relational, not motivational</p>
<p><span dir="RTL">            •           </span>You don<span dir="RTL">’</span>t need to become better—you need to become safer within yourself</p>
<p>If this conversation resonated, don<span dir="RTL">’</span>t minimise it. Your awareness is already a breakthrough.</p>

<p>Because love was never meant to be earned.</p>
<p>It was meant to be experienced—unconditionally</p>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/2.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Raveum -PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><span data-sheets-root="1"><strong>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 19:</strong> </span>Raveum, a platform enabling cross-border investment in premium U.S. real estate, today announced the successful closure of its seed funding round, raising $1.3 million at a post-money valuation of $22.8 million.</p>
<p>The round reflects investor confidence in Raveum’s compliance-led, technology-enabled approach to structured global real estate investing and supports the company’s next phase of expansion.</p>
<p>Founded to formalize and simplify U.S. property participation for international investors, Raveum provides access to curated, income-generating U.S. real estate opportunities through multiple ownership structures, including GP participation, LP investments, and direct ownership pathways. The platform is designed to serve investors across India, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and other international markets within a clearly defined regulatory framework.</p>
<p><strong>A Structured Approach to Cross-Border Real Estate Investment</strong></p>
<p>Cross-border real estate participation has historically been constrained by regulatory complexity, fragmented documentation processes, and limited institutional access. Raveum’s model integrates compliance infrastructure, underwriting discipline, and technology to facilitate authorized participation in U.S. multifamily and commercial real estate assets.</p>
<p>For Indian investors, the platform operates in alignment with FEMA guidelines and the Reserve Bank of India’s Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS), alongside applicable U.S. securities regulations. This structure enables cross-border allocation through compliant and transparent channels.</p>
<p>“This milestone reflects the strength of our governance framework and long-term strategy,” said Kabir Israni, CEO of Raveum. “We structured this round around strategic alignment with partners who value regulatory discipline, investor protection, and durable platform development. Our focus remains on building institutional-grade access to U.S. real estate for global investors.”</p>
<p><strong>Scaling Infrastructure and Institutional Partnerships</strong></p>
<p>The newly raised capital will be directed toward enhancing Raveum’s proprietary investment and compliance systems, expanding structured access to premium U.S. real estate assets, and strengthening regulatory and operational infrastructure across its core markets. The company also plans to broaden its international presence, scale investor onboarding and reporting capabilities, and expand teams across technology, compliance, and investor relations.</p>
<p>Since launch, Raveum has facilitated participation from retail and professional investors across multiple jurisdictions while deepening partnerships with U.S. based operators, legal advisors, and financial institutions to reinforce underwriting standards, governance controls, and risk management processes.</p>
<p><strong>Meeting Growing Demand for U.S. Real Estate Exposure</strong></p>
<p>As global investors increasingly seek diversification and dollar-denominated exposure through U.S. real estate, demand for structured and regulation-aligned cross-border access continues to expand. Raveum positions itself as a disciplined gateway to premium U.S. real estate opportunities, offering multiple participation models tailored to varying capital strategies.</p>
<p>The company’s long-term objective is to build a trusted platform for international investors seeking transparent, compliant access to institutional-grade U.S. assets across ownership structures.</p>
<p><strong>About Raveum</strong></p>
<p>Raveum is a platform enabling cross-border investment in premium U.S. real estate through compliant and structured participation models, including GP, LP, and direct ownership pathways. Operating across India, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and the United States, the company focuses on income-generating assets, regulatory alignment, disciplined underwriting, and long-term investor protection.</p>

        <title>Post Turnaround Medikabazaar Aims to Raise USD 50 Million to Fuel the Ambition of Billion&amp;Dollar Company</title>
        <link>https://forbesofindia.com/post-turnaround-medikabazaar-aims-to-raise-usd-50-million-to-fuel-the-ambition-of-billion-dollar-company</link>
        <guid>https://forbesofindia.com/post-turnaround-medikabazaar-aims-to-raise-usd-50-million-to-fuel-the-ambition-of-billion-dollar-company</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-2-26.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Post Turnaround Medikabazaar Aims to Raise USD 50 million to Fuel the Ambition of Billion-Dollar Company-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 20:</strong> In a sector where rapid scale has often come at the expense of sustainability, Medikabazaar’s recent turnaround marks a notable shift towards profitability and disciplined growth. Following a period of operational reset and under the leadership of its Group CEO Dinesh Lodha, the company has articulated a credible ambition: to build a billion-dollar enterprise over the next five years, backed by improving fundamentals and renewed investor confidence.</p>
<p>The timing aligns with a broader upswing in India’s healthcare sector. The industry is entering a strong capital expenditure cycle, with more than $10 billion in investments projected over the coming years, expected to add nearly 40,000 hospital beds nationwide. Existing hospitals are expanding capacity and upgrading infrastructure to serve an underpenetrated and largely unorganised healthcare market. With its scale and established presence, Medikabazaar is positioning itself to play a meaningful role in this transformation of India’s healthcare supply chain.</p>
<p>Commenting on the growing interest from manufacturers, <strong>Group CEO Mr. Dinesh Lodha</strong> said, “The growing interest from OEMs to partner with Medikabazaar reflects the strength of our technology-powered platform and our deep understanding of healthcare supply chains. We are building an ecosystem that enables digital transformation while establishing Medikabazaar as a trusted, long-term partner for both manufacturers and healthcare providers.”</p>
<p>Over the past year, the company has undertaken a decisive reset, scaling to revenues of over Rs. 2,000 crore while achieving operating breakeven. This shift has been anchored in a renewed focus on strengthening its supply ecosystem and accelerating its digital business, now positioned as a core growth engine. Medikabazaar’s digital marketplace recorded 100% year-on-year growth, supported by improved platform capabilities, deeper supplier integration, and a sharper focus on customer experience.</p>
<p>Alongside its digital momentum, the company has entered into more than 40 exclusive partnerships with leading manufacturers and OEMs. These tie-ups have reinforced Medikabazaar’s position as a procurement partner for hospitals, diagnostic centres, and healthcare providers across the country. The partnerships have helped improve supply reliability, ensure consistent product quality, and deliver greater pricing stability—important differentiators in a sector where trust and continuity are critical.</p>
<p>A key marker of the turnaround has been the company’s return to financial health. Medikabazaar has reported profitable EBITDA, reflecting tighter cost controls, improved unit economics, and more disciplined capital allocation. This focus on financial rigour has stabilised operations and strengthened confidence among investors, partners, and customers.</p>
<p>To support its ambition of reaching billion-dollar scale, Medikabazaar is currently in discussions to raise $50 million in fresh capital, with $25 million already committed by existing investors. The proposed fundraise is expected to finance the next phase of growth, including accelerated digital innovation, deeper category leadership, enhanced technology capabilities, and wider reach across India’s healthcare ecosystem.</p>
<p>The company’s renewed momentum is also underpinned by a leadership team that has emphasised accountability, governance, and execution. legacy challenges, the company says, are firmly in the past. With a profitable core business, a rapidly scaling digital platform, exclusive supply partnerships, committed investors, and a leadership team aligned around a clear long-term vision, Medikabazaar is once again positioning itself as a significant force in India’s healthcare supply chain.</p> ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[ <p><img width="1200" height="675" src="https://cdn.pnndigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PNN-1-33.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Travel News Services and TNSI Retail Expansion Plan Targets 100 Stores Across India by 2027-PNN" decoding="async"></p><p><strong>New Delhi [India], February 20: </strong>The journey of Travel News Services and TNSI Retail is moving with clear direction. 8 new outlets opened across key travel and education hubs in January 2026 and locations included airports in Vadodara, Udaipur, Kochi and Chennai. More stores launched in universities at Sonipat and Sohna plus stations of Delhi Metro. Each opening followed planned execution and clear market study.</p>
<p>Managing Director Atul Jain is guiding this expansion with a structured approach. The plan focuses on balance between growth and profit rather than fast expansion alone. The company is not chasing numbers blindly. Instead it studies demand, location strength, and customer flow before entering a market. This disciplined model helps reduce risk and keeps operations steady. The leadership believes long term success comes from stable stores, not just many stores.</p>
<p>The company operates with specialised formats designed for different needs. Globiq serves quick travel essentials for passengers on the move. Teddy N Tales focuses on toys and gifts that attract families and impulse buyers. Authentic India offers traditional souvenirs inspired by Indian craft heritage. These formats allow the business to serve multiple customer types while maintaining a clear identity for each store concept.</p>
<p>The organisation runs a network of more than 150 outlets including over 50 self owned stores and more than 100 partner run locations. Each outlet works like an independent business unit with targets for sales and cost control. Inventory is monitored closely and product mix is adjusted based on customer demand and this system ensures every store contributes to revenue and profit. The method shows that strong systems can matter more than large numbers in retail success.</p>

<p>The next milestone is crossing 100 self owned stores by financial year 2026 to 2027. Several sites are already in final stages of setup with investment plans and timelines prepared. The expansion strategy is based on data, location study, and operational readiness. This shows a long term vision rather than short term rush. With a steady plan and clear targets, the company aims to strengthen its position in India’s travel retail market while building a profitable and future ready network.</p>

The company focuses on planned expansion instead of random openings. It launched eight new stores in airports, universities and metro stations in January 2026 with locations including Vadodara, Udaipur, Kochi and Chennai airports, campuses in Sonipat and Sohna and stations of Delhi Metro. Each launch followed detailed planning and coordination. It is showing how the company balances speed with discipline while building a strong retail network across India.</p>
<p>Managing Director Mr. Atul Jain leads the company with a focus on structured execution and measurable results. Under his leadership, expansion decisions are based on performance and market potential. The company does not open stores just to increase numbers. Instead, it studies customer demand, travel traffic and buying patterns before choosing a location. This careful approach helps each outlet perform well from the start. Industry observers note that such leadership style is important in travel retail, where timing, product mix and customer flow decide success.</p>
<p>The organisation runs multiple retail formats, each created for a specific type of buyer. Globiq stores offer quick travel essentials and daily use products for passengers in a hurry. Teddy N Tales outlets focus on toys and gifts popular with families and impulse buyers. Authentic India stores sell souvenirs inspired by Indian art and culture. These stores attract both domestic and international travellers. These formats help the company serve different customer needs without confusion. It is making the shopping experience simple and quick for people on the move.</p>
<p>Travel News Services and TNSI Retail currently operate through a network of more than 150 stores. Over 50 outlets are self owned. More than 100 stores run through sublease partners. Each store works as an independent unit with fixed targets, stock planning and cost control systems. This structure helps maintain steady income and profit margins. Retail analysts say such systems are essential in travel retail, where rent and operating costs are high. Because of this organised model, every location adds value instead of becoming a burden.</p>
<p>The company has set a goal to cross 100 self owned operational stores by financial year 2026 to 2027. Several new sites are already in final stages of setup. The expansion roadmap includes careful investment planning and location analysis. This shows the brand is focusing on long term stability rather than short term hype. With strong leadership, clear targets and disciplined operations, Travel News Services and TNSI Retail continue strengthening their position in India travel retail sector.

        <description><![CDATA[ <p>Ramzaan (Ramadan) is not merely a month in the Islamic calendar; it is a divine training period, a spiritual revolution, and a sacred opportunity granted by Allah ﷻ to His servants. It is the month in which the Qur’an was revealed, the month of fasting (Sawm), the month of mercy (Rahmah), forgiveness (Maghfirah), and freedom from Hellfire (Najaat min an-Naar).</p>
<p>Allah ﷻ says: “O you who believe! Fasting has been prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may attain Taqwa.” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:183)</p>
<p>Ramzaan is therefore not just about hunger and thirst — it is about attaining <em>Taqwa</em> (God-consciousness).</p>
<ol>
<li><strong> The Blessings and Virtues of Ramzaan</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Ramzaan is a month in which:</p>
<ul>
<li>The gates of Jannah are opened.</li>
<li>The gates of Jahannam are closed.</li>
<li>The devils are chained.</li>
<li>One good deed is multiplied many times over.</li>
<li>Laylatul Qadr, better than a thousand months, is granted.</li>
</ul>
<p>The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever fasts in Ramzaan with faith and seeking reward, all his past sins will be forgiven.” (Sahih al Bukhari H. No. 38 & Muslim)</p>
<p>Ramzaan is a gift. The real question is: <strong>Are we prepared to receive it properly?</strong></p>
<ol start="2">
<li><strong> Importance of Fasting (Sawm)</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Fasting is the fourth pillar of Islam. It is an act of worship that is purely for Allah.</p>
<p>The Prophet ﷺ said: Allah said, “Fasting is for Me, and I alone will reward it.” (Hadith Qudsi)</p>
<p>Fasting teaches:</p>
<ul>
<li>Self-discipline</li>
<li>Patience (Sabr)</li>
<li>Gratitude</li>
<li>Control over desires</li>
<li>Compassion towards the poor</li>
</ul>
<p>True fasting is not only abstaining from food and drink but also:</p>
<ul>
<li>Avoiding lies</li>
<li>Guarding the tongue</li>
<li>Controlling anger</li>
<li>Protecting the eyes and ears from sin</li>
</ul>
<p>The Prophet ﷺ warned:</p>
<p>“Whoever does not give up false speech and evil actions, Allah has no need of him giving up his food and drink.” (Sahih al-<strong>Bukhari</strong>, 1903)</p>
<p>Fasting reforms the body and purifies the soul.</p>
<ol start="3">
<li><strong> The Spiritual Beauty of Iftar</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Iftar is a moment of acceptance of duas. The fasting person has a special status at the time of breaking fast.</p>
<p>The Prophet ﷺ said: “The supplication of a fasting person at the time of breaking fast is not rejected.”</p>
<p>Iftar is not meant for extravagance but for gratitude. Even a date and water bring immense reward if consumed with sincerity.</p>
<p>Feeding a fasting person carries equal reward without reducing the reward of the one fasting.</p>
<p>Ramzaan teaches sharing, unity, and brotherhood.</p>
<ol start="4">
<li><strong> Importance of Salah in Ramzaan</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Salah is the backbone of faith. In Ramzaan, its importance multiplies.</p>
<p>Five daily prayers in congregation bring immense reward. Ramzaan is the best time to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Correct our Salah</li>
<li>Improve concentration (Khushu’)</li>
<li>Become regular in Masjid attendance</li>
</ul>
<p>A person who fasts but neglects Salah loses the true spirit of Ramzaan.</p>
<ol start="5">
<li><strong> Taraweeh – The Night Illumination</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Taraweeh is a special night prayer offered only in Ramzaan after Isha Salah.</p>
<p>The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever stands (in prayer) during Ramzaan with faith and hope for reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.” (Bukhari & Muslim)</p>
<p>Taraweeh connects the believer to the Qur’an. Listening to the entire Qur’an during Taraweeh strengthens faith and understanding.</p>
<p>It is not a burden; it is an honor.</p>
<ol start="6">
<li><strong> Qiyam-ul-Lail and Tahajjud</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>The last third of the night is the most blessed time.</p>
<p>Allah descends to the lowest heaven and asks:</p>
<p>“Is there anyone seeking forgiveness so that I may forgive him?”</p>
<p>Qiyam-ul-Lail softens the heart. It brings closeness to Allah. The sincerest tears are shed in the darkness of night.</p>
<p>Ramzaan nights are opportunities for transformation.</p>
<ol start="7">
<li><strong> Laylatul Qadr – The Night of Power</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Laylatul Qadr is greater than 1,000 months (more than 83 years of worship).</p>
<p>It falls in the last ten odd nights of Ramzaan.</p>
<p>On this night:</p>
<ul>
<li>Angels descend</li>
<li>Decrees are written</li>
<li>Worship equals a lifetime of devotion</li>
</ul>
<p>The best dua taught by the Prophet ﷺ:</p>
<p>“Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa’fu ‘anni”<br>
(O Allah, You are Most Forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me.)</p>
<p>Missing Laylatul Qadr is a great loss.</p>
<ol start="8">
<li><strong> Reciting and Understanding the Qur’an</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Ramzaan is the month of Qur’an.</p>
<p>Jibreel (AS) would revise the Qur’an with the Prophet ﷺ every Ramzaan.</p>
<p>We must:</p>
<ul>
<li>Recite daily</li>
<li>Reflect on meanings</li>
<li>Implement its teachings</li>
</ul>
<p>The Qur’an is guidance, mercy, healing, and light.</p>
<p>Recitation without understanding limits benefit. Ramzaan is the best time to reconnect with the Book of Allah.</p>
<ol start="9">
<li><strong> Charity and Good Deeds</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>The Prophet ﷺ was most generous in Ramzaan.</p>
<p>Zakat purifies wealth. Sadaqah removes calamities.</p>
<p>Even a smile, kind word, or helping someone brings reward.</p>
<p>Ramzaan multiplies every good deed.</p>
<ol start="10">
<li><strong> I’tikaaf – Spiritual Retreat</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>In the last ten days, the Prophet ﷺ used to observe I’tikaaf in the Masjid.</p>
<p>I’tikaaf teaches:</p>
<ul>
<li>Detachment from worldly distractions</li>
<li>Deep reflection</li>
<li>Continuous worship</li>
</ul>
<p>It is a powerful way to seek Laylatul Qadr.</p>
<ol start="11">
<li><strong> Eid-ul-Fitr – The Day of Gratitude</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Eid-ul-Fitr is not merely celebration; it is thanksgiving.</p>
<p>After 30 days of fasting, prayer, sacrifice, and patience — Allah rewards His servants with Eid.</p>
<p>Before Eid Salah:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pay Zakat-ul-Fitr</li>
<li>Seek forgiveness</li>
<li>Maintain ties of kinship</li>
<li>Spread joy and unity</li>
</ul>
<p>Eid is a reminder that after patience comes relief.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion: Ramzaan – A Personal Transformation</strong></p>
<p>Ramzaan is a school of discipline.<br>
Ramzaan is a hospital for the soul.<br>
Ramzaan is a courtroom of self-accountability.</p>
<p>The real success of Ramzaan is not how much we ate at Iftar, but how much we changed.</p>
<p>If after Ramzaan:</p>
<ul>
<li>Our Salah improves</li>
<li>Our character improves</li>
<li>Our relationship with Qur’an strengthens</li>
<li>Our sins reduce</li>
</ul>
<p>Then we have truly benefited.</p>
<p>May Allah ﷻ allow us to witness Ramzaan, honor it, and emerge from it purified like a newborn child.  Ameen.</p>
