Urja Senior Living, an initiative by CHL Living, marked the launch of Madhya Pradesh’s first senior living project with a two-day Grand Preview held in Indore on August 8–9, 2026. The event drew close to 400 guests, including seniors and families from diverse geographies, backgrounds and professional walks of life, and concluded with nearly 20 confirmed bookings over the weekend, signalling strong early confidence in the project.   Introducing a new vision for purposeful senior living in India   The Grand Preview marked the official introduction of Urja Senior Living to prospective residents, families and senior living seekers, offering visitors an opportunity to experience the project beyond a conventional property walkthrough. From exploring fully furnished sample residences to understanding the community-led approach being planned, guests got a closer look at what is envisioned for the next chapter of senior living.   Spread across 15 acres, the project will comprise 250 apartments and villas. The development is currently progressing towards its full launch, which is planned in approximately six months. The project will continue to engage with prospective residents and families during this period, allowing them to experience the development and understand the lifestyle and services being planned.   A defining moment of the Grand Preview was an interactive session with Dr C.P. Muralidhara, who brings over 23 years of experience across Ayurveda, Therapeutic Yoga, Senior Living, Assisted Living and Dementia Care, and is regarded as one of India’s most experienced professionals in senior living. His interaction added an expert perspective to discussions around senior wellbeing and the considerations that families may have while evaluating senior living communities.   For CHL Living, the project represents an extension of its longstanding association with healthcare into a residential environment designed specifically around the needs and aspirations of seniors.   ​​Commenting on the response to the Grand Preview, Rajesh Bhargava, Founder, Urja Senior Living, said, “The soft launch of Urja Senior Living has given us tremendous confidence in the vision we have set out to create. What we witnessed over these two days was not just interest, but trust: families are evaluating us with the same rigour they would apply to a healthcare decision, and choosing to move forward. That trust is what we take most seriously. Our healthcare heritage gives us a deeper understanding of care, and we are channelling that into a community where seniors can live independently, comfortably and with genuine belonging, not merely be housed.”   The strong response at the Grand Preview also sets the stage for the project’s next phase. With the full launch planned in the coming months, Urja Senior Living will continue to engage with prospective residents and families and provide them with opportunities to experience the development firsthand. Looking ahead, CHL Living plans to evaluate expansion beyond Indore and Madhya Pradesh following the successful execution of this first phase.   About Urja Senior Living Urja Senior Living is a senior living initiative by CHL Living, developed with the vision of creating thoughtfully planned communities that support comfortable, independent and engaging lifestyles for seniors. Spread across 15 acres in Indore, the project comprises 250 apartments and villas and brings together well-designed homes, community experiences, wellbeing and a supportive environment. Built on the foundation of CHL Group’s healthcare legacy, Urja Senior Living aims to redefine senior living through care, connection and thoughtful design.

A major national dialogue on sustainable technology, innovation and India’s green growth journey began at Manipal University Jaipur (MUJ) with the inauguration of the International Conference on Advanced Sustainable Technologies (ICAST-2026). Organised by the Department of Biotechnology and Chemical Engineering, MUJ, with the Indian Chemical Council (ICC) as industry partner, the three-day international conference is being held from August 19 to 21, 2026.   Dignitaries present at the ICAST 2026 inaugural session   Sponsored by the Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF), ICAST-2026 has brought together around 250 participants and 18 keynote and invited speakers from academia and industry from India and across the world. The conference provides a significant platform for deliberations on translating emerging technologies and scientific research into scalable solutions to India’s environmental, industrial and developmental challenges.   The inaugural ceremony was graced by Shri V. Srinivas, Chief Secretary, Government of Rajasthan, as the Chief Guest. Padma Shri Prof. G. D. Yadav, Emeritus Professor of Eminence and Former Vice Chancellor, Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT), Mumbai, was the Guest of Honour, while Prof. N. N. Sharma, President, Manipal University Jaipur, presided over the ceremony. Dr. Amit Soni, Registrar; Dr. Nitu Bhatnagar, Provost; Dr. Kuldip Singh Sangwan, Dean, Faculty of Science, Technology & Architecture; and Dr. Ravi Kant Gupta, Associate Dean, were also present.   Addressing the gathering in the virtual mode, Shri V. Srinivas stressed the need to move beyond the conventional choice between development and sustainability. He emphasised that the goal must be to achieve development through sustainability, supported by scientific knowledge, technological feasibility, strong institutions and social responsibility.   Drawing upon his academic background as a Chemical Engineer, Shri Srinivas identified green hydrogen, sustainable energy, critical minerals, advanced energy storage and recycling, environmental remediation, circular economy, sustainable materials, biotechnology, artificial intelligence and digital technologies as critical areas that will shape India’s technological future.   He also highlighted Rajasthan’s immense potential in renewable energy, green hydrogen and sustainable industrial development in line with the State’s vision of Viksit Rajasthan 2047. Calling for deeper collaboration among academia, industry, government, entrepreneurs and young innovators, he emphasised the need to develop solutions to pressing challenges related to water, energy, waste, agriculture and climate resilience.   Padma Shri Prof. G. D. Yadav, in his inspiring address, highlighted the expanding role of Chemical Engineering in the era of sustainability and technological transformation. He said the discipline has moved well beyond conventional chemical industries and now has a crucial role in green chemistry, renewable energy, green hydrogen, advanced materials, biotechnology, energy transition, circular economy and sustainable manufacturing.   Encouraging young researchers and students to embrace interdisciplinary research and emerging technologies, Prof. Yadav underlined the role of Chemical Engineering in connecting science, engineering, industrial applications and sustainability. His message, “Pause, Ponder and Proceed,” urged researchers to understand problems deeply before developing solutions. He also shared his three-pronged philosophy, “Patent, Publish and Prosper,” calling upon researchers to convert knowledge into intellectual property, high-quality publications, innovation and societal impact.   In his Presidential Address, Prof. N. N. Sharma emphasised that challenges such as climate change, resource depletion, environmental degradation and energy security cannot be addressed within traditional disciplinary boundaries. He highlighted the convergence of engineering, biotechnology, materials science, environmental sciences, artificial intelligence and digital technologies as a powerful pathway towards sustainable development.   Prof. Sharma reiterated MUJ’s commitment to building an ecosystem where knowledge is transformed into innovation, innovation into technology, and technology into meaningful societal impact. He also stressed the importance of strengthening academia–industry partnerships to accelerate the translation of research from laboratories into real-world applications.   ICAST-2026 comes at a crucial juncture as India accelerates its transition towards green growth, energy security, circular economy, advanced manufacturing and technology-driven sustainable development. Through interdisciplinary research, expert dialogue and stronger academia–industry–government collaboration, the conference seeks to strengthen research networks and advance innovative solutions for a greener, more resilient and sustainable India.   To know more about Manipal University Jaipur, please visit the official website of Manipal University Jaipur: jaipur.manipal.edu

India is one of the largest and fastest growing economies in the world: a country of young, ambitious people with a high literacy rate and a per capita income that makes it one of the world’s largest consumers. Its rocket science, technology acumen, and infrastructure-building ability are second to none.   Bangalore Watch Company – Forty Seven This all began with a literacy rate of just 12 percent, a per capita income of a mere USD 50, and a country in debt. In the mid-twentieth century, India chose a future-facing vision—building a nation where girls could fly fighter jets, scientists could send rockets to space, entrepreneurs could build companies for the world, and every generation could dream a little bigger than the one before. Since 2018, the brand has built watches inspired by aviation, cricket, space exploration and the outdoors. Each collection has explored a different chapter of modern India. With Forty-Seven, the brand goes back to the beginning of that era, to the mid 20th century, when a young nation chose to spend its time building the future. “Forty-Seven is a tribute to the years that shaped modern India. A pocket watch was the natural choice, because it belonged to that time. Bangalore Watch Company™ has always told stories of the India of today. With this watch, the brand goes back to where those stories first began,” says Nirupesh Joshi, Co-Founder of Bangalore Watch Company™. Forty-Seven follows the design principles of traditional pocket watches from the early 20th century. Built with a surgical grade steel in a vintage gold finish, an off-white linen pattern reminiscent of the self-reliance movement of the time, and powered by a Swiss quartz movement, the watch makes for a fashionable carry accessory. Paired with a vintage leather lanyard, the watch can be worn around your neck, on your waist, or even as a bag charm. “We’ve demonstrated our capability as a watchmaker with several firsts – meteorites, aircraft carrier materials, and even captured carbon. The pocket watch is our attempt to broaden our capability as a watchmaker, and to give our customers a new format to enjoy high-quality time-telling devices with a strong backstory,” added Mercy Amalraj, Co-Founder of the brand. Forty-Seven can be personalized with a custom caseback engraving, making every watch unique. The watch will be priced at USD 1250 (approximately INR 120,000) and will be available for pre-order on the brand’s website starting on 11th August 2026. About Bangalore Watch Company™ Founded in 2018, Bangalore Watch Company™ creates high-quality mechanical watches that tell stories of a 21st-century India. Drawing inspiration from Aviation, Cricket, Space, and the Great Outdoors, each collection captures modern Indian narratives that go far beyond stereotypes. With several firsts to its name including watches made from recovered fighter planes and aircraft carrier materials, India’s first watch qualified for Spaceflight, and a proprietary Cerasteel™ material that is a fusion of Steel and Ceramic, the brand blends storytelling with technical innovation and contemporary design. Recognised by leading global publications such as The New York Times, Forbes, and Hodinkee for its originality and craftsmanship, Bangalore Watch Company™ stands at the forefront of modern Indian watchmaking. Founded by husband-and-wife team Nirupesh Joshi and Mercy Amalraj who left their tech careers overseas to pursue a passion for modern Indian storytelling, the brand has built a quiet but enthusiastic following with customers in over 30 countries.

By leveraging our manufacturing expertise and direct-to-consumer business model, we eliminate intermediary mark-ups and are able to offer certified lab grown diamond jewellery at highly competitive prices without compromising on quality or design. As we work towards our goal of 88 stores by December 2026, our focus remains on making premium jewellery more accessible to consumers across India.”   Building on its early momentum, Keemti is set to significantly accelerate its expansion with multiple new store launches planned across existing markets alongside entry into new cities, as it works towards its goal of 88 stores by the end of 2026. As the brand scales its national presence, it remains focused on creating a seamless omnichannel experience that integrates physical retail, e-commerce and marketplaces, enabling consumers across India to discover and purchase thoughtfully designed lab grown diamond jewellery with confidence.   By combining intentional design, certified lab grown diamonds, exceptional craftsmanship and factory-direct pricing, Keemti is redefining contemporary fine jewellery while setting a new benchmark for accessible luxury in India.   About Keemti Jewels Keemti Jewels is a contemporary lab grown diamond jewellery brand redefining fine jewellery for the new-age Indian consumer through intentional design, accessible luxury and conscious innovation.

Parimatch Sports, a premium sportswear brand inspired by the world’s top athletes, continues its Inside the Game YouTube series with a third episode featuring Ritu Phogat. The Indian MMA fighter and wrestling champion, also known as the “Indian Tigress,” takes on a new set of questions and unusual situations that show new sides of the champion beyond her career in combat sports.   Ritu Phogat Faces New Challenges in Parimatch Sports’ Inside the Game Episode 3 With millions of followers and a career that keeps her in the public eye, Ritu is no stranger to other people’s expectations. But how much of that attention actually matters? During the conversation, she opens up about dealing with opinions on the internet and staying focused on her own path rather than trying to satisfy everyone watching from the outside. “It’s absolutely easy because I don’t overthink those things and take them as motivation. It’s okay — I’ll show them, no problem,” Ritu said. The episode also touches on life outside the arena. Ritu talks about managing demanding training and competition alongside family life, and why pursuing her goals does not mean putting everything else on hold. “It’s really hard balancing everything. Motherhood requires a lot of discipline, training requires a lot of discipline, and then there’s managing the house and everything else. Discipline and balance are absolutely necessary,” she added. She also addresses the pressure on women to get everything right, sharing her view on finding a way that works for her rather than trying to please everyone. The conversation is accompanied by a series of interactive activities that put Ritu in situations far removed from the MMA arena. Through playful tasks, she shows her competitive side in a completely different setting. One of them, however, leaves viewers with a particularly difficult choice: would Ritu give up training for a million dollars? The answer might surprise you. Watch Episode 3 of Inside the Game with Ritu Phogat on YouTube to find out what she chooses and hear more of her candid answers.
