July 2026

Imagine being stuck in a Mumbai traffic jam, trying to capture the golden hour skyline through a car window while streaming music, replying to a work message, and keeping your phone powered through it all. That is the kind of everyday smartphone stress test many people face, and it is exactly what the motorola Edge 70 Pro Plus is built to handle.   Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ in stunning new finishes, blending premium design, powerful performance, and flagship-level photography in one sleek smartphone   Launched in India on June 4, 2026, at Rs. 48,999, the Edge 70 Pro Plus enters a fiercely contested segment, phones between Rs. 40,000 and Rs. 55,000. It is a range where buyers are smart, demanding, and spoilt for choice.   Check out the motorola Edge 70 Pro Plus or other latest phones at one of the Bajaj Finance partner stores across 4,000+ cities. They can visit their nearest store to experience the phones in person. They can shop on Easy EMIs from Bajaj Finance for a more convenient upgrade.   So, what does motorola bring to the table to stand out?   Slim, light, and built to last First impressions matter, and the Edge 70 Pro Plus makes a quiet but confident one. At just 7.19 mm thin and 190 grams, it is the slimmest phone available under Rs. 50,000. For anyone who has felt a brick like slab weighing down their jacket pocket through a long day of commuting or meetings, that is not a small thing. Durability wise, motorola has not cut corners either. The phone carries an IP68 and IP69 rating, meaning it can handle not just rain or a spilled glass of water, but also high pressure water jets. Whether someone is on a trek or just clumsy in the kitchen, they are covered. It also comes with Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection on the display.   A display that demands attention The 6.8-inch Extreme AMOLED display with a 144 Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 5,200 nits is genuinely impressive. Scrolling through Instagram Reels, watching cricket highlights, or video calling family, everything looks punchy and smooth.   HDR10+ support means streaming content on Netflix or Prime Video looks as it was meant to. With a 92% screen to body ratio, there is very little frame getting in the way of the content.   Triple 50MP camera setup that actually delivers The camera setup is where things get really interesting. The Edge 70 Pro Plus runs a triple 50MP system, a primary Sony LYT 710 sensor, an ultra wide macro lens, and a periscope telephoto with 3.5x optical zoom and up to 50x digital zoom. The front camera is also 50MP with autofocus, rare at this price.   For travel photographers or social media enthusiasts, the combination of a versatile zoom range and solid low light capability makes this a legitimately capable device.   Punching hard performance Under the hood sits the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Extreme chipset, backed by 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.1 storage.   Whether someone is editing holiday reels on the way home, playing BGMI after work, juggling work emails with video calls, or switching between social media and streaming apps, the Edge 70 Pro Plus keeps everything running smoothly without slowing them down.   Large battery with ultra fast charging The smartphone packs a 6,500 mAh silicon carbon battery designed to comfortably power a full day of heavy usage. When it is time to recharge, the included 90 W TurboPower charging quickly gets it back to full battery in under 47 minutes.   It also supports 15 W wireless charging, adding extra convenience for users who prefer cable free charging at home or at work.   Is the motorola Edge 70 Pro Plus worth the price? Price is often the deciding factor. After all, a great smartphone is only as good as the value it delivers.   The motorola Edge 70 Pro Plus is priced at Rs. 48,999 for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variant.   That means a flagship processor, 12GB RAM, 256GB storage, a versatile triple camera system with a periscope telephoto lens, wireless charging, IP69 water resistance, and one of the slimmest designs in its segment.   At this price, the competition is fierce. But the Edge 70 Pro Plus is not trying to be the cheapest option. It is trying to deliver more where it matters most: performance, cameras, battery life, and premium design.   If buyers plan to keep the phone for three or four years, those upgrades become more valuable over time. Instead of paying for features they may never use, they are investing in a device that is built to stay fast, reliable, and capable long after the excitement of buying a new phone fades.   Upgrade to the motorola Edge 70 Pro Plus on Easy EMIs from Bajaj Finance Here is the thing. Most people do not upgrade their phone every year. They buy one that can handle everything for the next three or four years. The motorola Edge 70 Pro Plus checks those boxes with flagship performance, a bright AMOLED display, capable cameras, and a slim design that feels as premium as it looks. With Easy EMIs from Bajaj Finance, upgrading is easier because customers do not have to pay the full amount upfront.   Steps to shop on Easy EMIs Visit a nearby Bajaj Finance partner store. Explore the motorola Edge 70 Pro Plus and other premium smartphones. Check available offers and eligible Easy EMI options. Choose a repayment tenure between 3 and 60 months based on the budget. Complete the purchase and take home a new smartphone with convenient monthly payments. If anyone wants a phone that looks premium, captures great photos, delivers flagship performance, and lasts through the day, the motorola Edge 70 Pro Plus is a smart choice. Get it on Easy EMIs from Bajaj Finance.

In a significant step towards strengthening the startup ecosystem of MBM University (formerly MBM Engineering College), Marwari Catalysts Group, in collaboration with the MBM Alumni Association, has launched the MBM Co-founders Club – a first-of-its-kind initiative dedicated to supporting startups founded by MBM alumni. More than just a platform, the Club is envisioned as a movement by MBM alumni, for MBM alumni, bringing together successful entrepreneurs, investors and industry leaders to help founders build scalable businesses.   MBM Co-founders Club by Marwari Catalysts Group Selects First Three Startups, Next Batch to Open Soon   The first cohort of the programme has already generated an overwhelming response, with nearly 60 startup applications received from MBM alumni representing diverse sectors and geographies.   To evaluate the applications, a screening committee was constituted under the leadership of Vipul Kocher, President of the MBM Alumni Association, comprising Virendra Gupta, Abhishek Kumbhat, Jhilmil Kochar and Sushil Sharma (Founder- Marwari Catalysts). After a rigorous evaluation process, three high-potential startups have been selected for the inaugural cohort. The names of the selected startups will be announced shortly.   The selected startups will receive strategic support in the form of funding opportunities, one-on-one mentorship from successful founders and industry experts, business scaling guidance, investor connect, market access and global exposure through the extensive ecosystem of Marwari Catalysts Group.   In addition, Marwari Catalysts will provide startup acceleration credits worth nearly USD 200,000, including AWS credits, cloud infrastructure, AI and developer tools, software subscriptions and other technology resources that will help founders build and scale their businesses more efficiently.   The programme will also facilitate participation in international startup delegations, investor interactions and global business networks, enabling founders from Jodhpur to explore opportunities beyond India.   Following the announcement of the first cohort, applications for the second batch of the MBM Co-founders Club will be invited. The organisers expect an even stronger response from MBM alumni entrepreneurs across India and overseas, reflecting the growing enthusiasm for alumni-led entrepreneurship.   The initiative is expected to foster a vibrant startup culture within MBM University, benefiting not only alumni founders but also current students, researchers and aspiring entrepreneurs. It is also expected to strengthen the innovation ecosystem of Jodhpur and Western Rajasthan by encouraging more technology-led ventures and job creators.   Speaking on the initiative, Sushil Sharma, Founder, Marwari Catalysts Group and a member of the screening committee, said, “MBM has produced exceptional engineers, innovators and business leaders over several decades. Through the MBM Co-founders Club, our objective is to create a structured platform where alumni founders receive access to capital, mentorship, industry networks and global opportunities. This initiative is about building a sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem that will continue to create successful startups for years to come.”   Vipul Kocher, President of the MBM Alumni Association, said, “Our alumni network is one of MBM’s greatest strengths. The Co-founders Club brings together successful alumni from across industries and geographies to support fellow entrepreneurs. We believe this initiative will inspire more MBM graduates to pursue entrepreneurship and contribute towards innovation-led economic growth.”   One of the defining strengths of the initiative is the remarkable support extended by the MBM alumni community. Alumni from across India as well as the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore and Dubai have come forward to mentor founders, facilitate investments and open global business networks for the selected startups.   Over the decades, MBM has produced several distinguished leaders who have made their mark in government, technology, manufacturing, infrastructure and entrepreneurship.

Strengthening its hospitality portfolio, the Dharampal Satyapal Group (DS Group), a leading FMCG conglomerate and multi-business corporation, has announced the launch of a new luxury hospitality project in partnership with Marriott International under the W Hotels brand. The project will feature a 200-room luxury hotel near Indira Gandhi International Airport and is scheduled to open in the second half of 2027, with an estimated investment of Rs. 400 crore. Strategically located near the Aerocity, one of Delhi NCR’s most active hospitality corridors, catering to both business and leisure demand.   DS Group To Launch Marriott International’s W Hotels Brand In NCR   Marking the debut of W Hotels in Delhi NCR, and the second W Hotels property in India (after Goa), this development will add a distinctive, lifestyle-led offering to a market traditionally dominated by legacy luxury formats. Rooted in an impactful trifecta which includes detail-driven design, anticipatory service culture, and dynamic programming, W Hotels has a presence in global cities such as London, New York, Dubai, and Singapore to name a few. Remaining true to the brand’s iconic foundations, the upcoming property will be developed as a design-forward, contemporary destination, in line with W Hotels’ global identity. Bringing together the magnetic energy of W Hotels and the essence of local culture, the hotel aims to cater to a new generation of luxury consumers seeking both sophistication and vibrancy around Delhi NCR.   Announcing the launch, Mr. Rajiv Kumar, Vice Chairman, DS Group, said, “The Indian hospitality sector is currently witnessing an unprecedented growth trajectory, fuelled by a robust surge in domestic travel and a significant demand-supply mismatch in the premium segment. With approximately 0.27 hotel keys per 1,000 people compared to the global average of 2.2, India’s hotel penetration rate is roughly one-tenth of the global standard. As marquee global players are rapidly expanding their footprints across the Indian landscape, New Delhi remains the indispensable gateway to the high value diplomatic and corporate echelons that ultimately establish a brand’s equity and authority in the subcontinent. The launch of Marriott International’s W Hotels brand reinforces our continued commitment to the hospitality business and marks a significant milestone in DS Group’s growth strategy, aligned with our long-term vision of providing unparalleled experiences to our guests.”   Mr. Nathan Andrews, Business Head, Hospitality, DS Group, said, “This project is a significant step for the DS Group as we expand our hospitality footprint with a target of 10–12 hotels by FY29. By bringing the iconic W Hotels brand to Delhi NCR, we are setting a new benchmark for design-led luxury, project in one of India’s most competitive markets. The Aerocity area continues to demonstrate exceptional demand and RevPAR growth, making it the ideal location for a globally recognized brand that combines unmatched connectivity with long-term value for Delhi NCR. This partnership underscores our commitment to shaping the future of Indian hospitality by delivering curated, high-impact experiences for the modern global traveller.”   “As Marriott International continues to expand our hospitality options in India to meet the evolving needs of both guests and owners, the signing of our first W Hotels in Delhi NCR is set to introduce a bold new expression of luxury to this dynamic, high-energy market,” said Kiran Andicot, Senior Vice President, South Asia, Marriott International. “We are delighted to collaborate with the Dharampal Satyapal Group, whose legacy of excellence and forward-looking approach to premium, experience-led hospitality aligns seamlessly with Marriott International’s commitment to delivering differentiated, high-quality hospitality experiences, grounded in strong partnerships and a shared vision for long-term value creation.”   Rooted in the W Hotels philosophy of celebrating individuality, igniting curiosity, and expanding perspectives, the hotel is poised to disrupt traditional hospitality. Blending avant-garde, design-led environments with high-energy social hubs like the W Lounge, will transform the hotel from a mere place of stay into a vibrant, music-infused lifestyle destination. This ethos of innovation and immersive guest engagement aligns seamlessly with the DS Group’s legacy of excellence and its strategic focus on delivering premium, market-leading experiences.   By welcoming W Hotels into its portfolio, DS Group reinforces its commitment to forward‑thinking luxury defined by cultural energy and modern relevance. Known for its liberated approach to luxury and bold design sensibility, W Hotels brings a dynamic new dimension—creating experiences that celebrate self‑expression, connection, and living fully in the moment. This approach aligns with DS Group’s focus on delivering premium, experience-led hospitality and expanding its footprint in futuristic and high-growth urban markets.   DS Group is pursuing an aggressive expansion strategy in hospitality, with plans to double its current room inventory by 2029 and an investment commitment of Rs. 1,000 crore over the next few years. The growth will be driven primarily in the luxury and mid-scale segments, across high-growth Tier I and Tier II cities.

The President of the Kyrgyz Republic, Sadyr Japarov, has inaugurated the Tamchy Special Financial Investment Territory (SFIT), a new international jurisdiction on the shores of alpine Lake Issyk-Kul. The first residents of Tamchy, who joined during the launch ceremony, were companies from South Korea, the UAE, Hong Kong, Switzerland and Kazakhstan. Twenty companies from across the globe are in the process of establishing residency at Tamchy SFIT.   Tamchy Special Financial Investment Territory on Issyk-Kul Launched in Kyrgyzstan   The ceremony culminated with President Japarov symbolically activating a geotag-shaped switch, thus putting Tamchy SFIT, quite literally, on the global financial map.   “Changes in the global economy are driving demand for new centers of business activity where international standards are supported by true freedom of innovation and long-term investment. Tamchy SFIT is our national project and our response to the needs of international businesses. We are building a financial center from scratch with an independent court, a modern regulator, and rules that won’t change with shifting trends.I have no doubt that Tamchy SFIT will open a new chapter in the history of Kyrgyzstan,” said President Japarov   SFIT “Tamchy”: Why the State is Changing the Rules for Business   YouTube link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XMkTreU11M   Operating on the principles of English common law, Tamchy SFIT has its own financial regulator, an International Dispute Resolution Centre, and a single-window digital registrar. A special tax regime guarantees a 0% rate of tax on profits, dividends, capital gains, and VAT for 49 years and allows 100% foreign ownership and unrestricted profit repatriation.   Covering an area of about 6,000 ha, Tamchy SFIT can already boast a fully operational business center, while hotels and residential buildings are under construction. Issyk-Kul International Airport is within walking distance.   “Great financial centres are built by understanding what international capital and businesses require. Tamchy SFIT offers exactly that — a trusted, flexible, and investor-ready platform for businesses seeking sustainable growth. Benchmarked to international gold standards, grounded in English common law, and positioned at the intersection of five EAEU economies and the Eurasian corridor, it offers a jurisdiction that is neutral, independent, and built to last,” said Ali Ijaz Ahmad, First Deputy Chairman of the Tamchy SFIT Management Council.   One of the first executives who decided to set up in Tamchy SFIT was Seo Dong Hyun, CEO of Serim.   “Over the past thirty years of investing in the semiconductor industry, high technology, and energy, I have come to appreciate that legal certainty and trust in the regulatory system are the foundation of long-term investment. These are the very principles on which the Tamchy SFIT was established. What is particularly remarkable is that a project of this scale was delivered in just one year—faster than in any other jurisdiction I know. Today, I registered my family holding company here. For me, this is not an investment for years, but for generations,” he said.   By 2035, Tamchy aims to attract around 4,000 resident companies and create over 10,000 jobs. The expected contribution of Tamchy to the country’s economy between 2026 and 2035 is estimated at USD 20 bn.

Marwari Catalysts Group is working towards establishing Elara Healthcare as a scalable, affordable and future-ready mother and child care platform, with IVF and infertility services forming an important part of its wider healthcare offering. The initiative is being developed under the Group’s Venture Studio Model and is designed to bring accessible, ethical and standardized healthcare services closer to women, mothers, children and families beyond major metropolitan cities.   Marwari Catalysts Group to Build Elara Healthcare as a Future-Ready Mother and Child Care Network   Moving from an IVF-industry-focused approach to a broader mother and child care vision, Elara Healthcare aims to build an integrated healthcare ecosystem covering women’s wellness, fertility and infertility care, pregnancy support, mother and child health, nutrition guidance, preventive care, wellness programs and patient education. IVF and infertility services will continue to remain a key vertical within the platform, while the overall focus will expand towards complete care for women, mothers and children.   As part of its future expansion roadmap, Marwari Catalysts Group plans to develop Elara Healthcare across Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab and Himachal, followed by proposed international opportunities in Africa and Gulf. These expansion plans are future-oriented and will be executed in phases through collaborations with hospitals, healthcare professionals, wellness partners, doctors and strategic institutions.   The vision behind Elara Healthcare is to create a trusted mother and child care network that combines clinical excellence with affordability, compassion, preventive healthcare, technology-enabled systems and standardized delivery. The platform will focus on serving Tier-II and Tier-III cities, where access to organized mother and child healthcare, fertility care and women’s wellness services remains limited or fragmented.   To strengthen its mother and child healthcare ecosystem, Elara Healthcare has signed MoUs with Nuskha Kitchen and Hobfit for the betterment of women’s health, mother and child wellness, yoga, exercise, nutrition and proper diet support. These collaborations are aimed at building a holistic care model where medical services are supported by lifestyle, diet, fitness and wellness interventions.   Speaking about the vision, Sushil Sharma, Founder & CEO of Marwari Catalysts Group, Executive Director, BRICS CCI, Convenor, ESC Rajasthan Chapter and also Co-Chair Startup Vertical, Rotary District 3053 (2026–27) said, “Marwari Catalysts has always believed that impactful and globally scalable businesses can emerge from Tier-II and Tier-III India. Through Elara Healthcare, we are building a future-ready mother and child care platform that will include fertility, IVF and infertility care as part of a much larger healthcare vision. Our focus is to create an affordable, trusted and standardized healthcare brand for women, mothers, children and families. Rajasthan will be a key starting market, and we plan to expand across Haryana, Punjab, Himachal and, in the future, explore Africa and Gulf and BRICS Countries as international opportunities.”   He further added that the Venture Studio Model enables Marwari Catalysts Group to support founders with strategic leadership, operational expertise, branding, fundraising and access to national and international networks, helping healthcare ventures scale faster while maintaining quality, governance and patient trust.   Dr. Renu Sharma, Founder & Director of Elara Healthcare, said the objective is to build a holistic healthcare platform for women and families, “During my years of working in fertility and women’s healthcare, I realised that families in smaller cities need much more than only IVF treatment. They need guidance, ethical medical care, emotional support, nutrition, wellness, preventive care and reliable mother and child healthcare services closer to home. Elara Healthcare is being designed with this broader vision. IVF and infertility services will remain an important part of our work, but our larger focus will be on complete women, mother and child care.”   She added that the organisation will continue to invest in experienced medical professionals, fertility specialists, embryologists, mother and child healthcare experts, wellness partners, technology systems and continuous training to maintain consistent standards across every future centre and collaboration.   Gajendra Singh, Director of Elara Healthcare, said the expansion strategy will focus on building a sustainable healthcare ecosystem rather than only increasing the number of centres, “Healthcare expansion requires strong systems, quality assurance and operational excellence. Elara Healthcare will be built on standardized processes, technology-enabled monitoring, patient-centric services and transparent governance. Our aim is to create a trusted network that supports women, mothers, children and families through every stage of care.”   Supporting Elara Healthcare’s future growth is an experienced ecosystem of healthcare professionals, entrepreneurs, strategic investors and global business leaders. Among them is Vijendra Singh, a globally experienced technology executive, strategic investor and mentor whose expertise in digital transformation, business scaling and organizational leadership will contribute to the platform’s long-term growth.   The initiative further strengthens Marwari Catalysts Group’s healthcare portfolio, which already includes ventures such as Sarathi Healthcare, Nuskha Kitchen and One Dose. Through Elara Healthcare, the Group aims to build a wider healthcare platform that solves real-world challenges for women and families while creating sustainable economic and social impact.   Looking ahead, Marwari Catalysts Group plans to collaborate with leading doctors, mother and child hospitals, fertility specialists, wellness partners, healthcare institutions and strategic partners to accelerate Elara Healthcare’s future expansion. The proposed international roadmap covering South Africa and Dubai also reflects the Group’s ambition to build an Indian healthcare brand with global relevance.   With Rajasthan marking an important beginning and future expansion planned across Haryana, Punjab, Himachal, South Africa and Dubai, Elara Healthcare is envisioned as a trusted mother and child care network that brings together medical care, wellness, nutrition, fertility services and compassionate patient support under one platform.   About Marwari Catalysts Group Marwari Catalysts Group is one of India’s leading startup ecosystem builders, with a portfolio of more than 100 startups across healthcare, technology, consumer, manufacturing and sustainability sectors. Through its Venture Studio Model, the Group partners with visionary founders by providing strategic guidance, operational expertise, branding, fundraising support and access to national and global markets.
