NCPEDP will Launch the First-of-its-kind Assistive Technology Policy Paper

The National Centre for Promotion of Employment for Disabled People (NCPEDP), supported by Mphasis, is set to present a landmark policy paper titled Assistive Technology in India: A Systems and Investment Approach for Inclusion, Independence, and Economic Participation of Persons with Disabilities. The paper comes at a time when the need for assistive technology is rapidly growing across the world. According to the World Health Organization, more than 2.5 billion people globally require at least one assistive technology product—such as eyeglasses, hearing aids, wheelchairs, prosthetics or communication applications. Yet, less than 10% of people who need assistive technology in low in middle income countries have access to AT.   Recognising this urgent gap and the absence of a dedicated national policy framework in India, NCPEDP will unveil the policy paper on June 24. The document presents foundational recommendations for a National Assistive Technology Policy Framework and calls for a comprehensive overhaul of how India designs, delivers, finances and sustains assistive technology for persons with disabilities, older persons and individuals with functional limitations. It aims to provide a roadmap for government and other stakeholders to build an accessible, affordable and future-ready assistive technology ecosystem for the country.   Arman Ali, Executive Director of NCPEDP argues that assistive technology should no longer be viewed as a welfare measure or a one-time distribution exercise, but as essential social and economic infrastructure that directly impacts education, employment, healthcare access, mobility, independent living and productivity.   India is home to 2.68 crore persons with disabilities, while more than 70 percent of them live in rural areas where access to assistive services remains limited. The challenge is expected to grow further as India’s elderly population increases rapidly and more people live longer with chronic illnesses and functional impairments.   “India has established a strong normative and rights-based foundation for disability inclusion through the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD) Act, 2016, the Accessible India Campaign, and sectoral policies such as the National Education Policy, 2020. The Assistance to Disabled Persons for Purchase/Fitting of Aids and Appliances (ADIP) Scheme remains the principal public mechanism for AT provisioning and has expanded access to basic devices for many low-income households. However, assistive technology delivery remains fragmented across ministries, schemes, and service channels, with a predominant focus on device procurement and one-time distribution,” said Ali.   The policy paper estimates that India’s assistive technology market could reach USD 8-10 billion by 2030, presenting a significant opportunity for policy-led innovation, investment domestic manufacturing. Yet access remains limited to only a fraction of those who need assistive products and services.   The launch event is expected to bring together Members of Parliament, senior government officials, representatives from STPI and technology institutions, civil society organisations, development sector experts, disability rights advocates, academia, research institutes and persons with disabilities to discuss the future of assistive technology in India and the need for a dedicated national policy framework.

Kapiva Enters Clinical Care with Ayurveda Clinics, Building Adherence-led Treatment Models

Kapiva, one of India’s leading science-backed Ayurveda brands, has announced its entry into the clinical care segment with the launch of Kapiva Ayurveda Clinics, expanding its existing product-led portfolio to include structured, continuity-driven treatment models. The development comes as the company completes a decade in the category. The clinics address four major chronic concerns: Diabetes, Heart Health, Pain and Women’s Health.   Kapiva Ayurveda Clinic Doctors India’s chronic disease burden is no longer confined to older populations. Chronic health conditions are increasingly affecting Indians in their twenties and thirties, a generation that is not only seeking holistic alternatives but actively looking for care systems that address the root cause of their conditions, not just the symptoms. According to a 2024 survey by the Government of India, nearly half of India’s population has used Ayush systems for prevention or treatment of ailments, a reflection of how deeply the system is woven into everyday health decisions. The clinics are built for someone who has started a treatment plan and not been able to stay the course, and look to address a longstanding gap in the system: inconsistent outcomes driven by the absence of structured support after the first consultation.   At the centre of Kapiva’s clinical model is a 45 to 60 minute in-depth Ayurvedic consultation focused on identifying root causes rather than surface symptoms. By comparison, the average doctor consultation in India lasts between 5 and 10 minutes, without a clear understanding of what is driving their condition. Each patient then receives a personalised Ayurvedic treatment plan designed to fit into a real daily routine, explained in plain language, and built to be followed rather than just prescribed. The third pillar is the effortless post-care guidance: structured follow-ups at Day 7, 14, and 21, with in-built ongoing support, ensuring patients are seen through to completion, all within a single integrated patient journey that combines doctor-led diagnosis, personalised nutrition guidance, lifestyle interventions, AI-enabled diagnostics, and where appropriate, Panchkarma and Abhyangam therapies.   Commenting on the launch, Ameve Sharma, Founder and CEO of Kapiva said, “To offer truly comprehensive Ayurvedic care, we realised that patients require a much deeper, highly personalised approach that goes beyond just a product. Delivering that level of care requires a dedicated physical setup. In many ways, this brings Kapiva full circle. This launch was born directly from conversations with our consumers who were seeking structured support. As a customer-first brand, Kapiva Ayurveda Clinics are our way of ensuring they receive the end-to-end care they deserve.”   Over the last ten years, Kapiva has built a stronghold in chronic wellness products that address health problems from the root cause. The clinic model extends that same philosophy into structured clinical care for chronic disease management, where consultation, product use, and follow-up are part of one continuous Ayurvedic treatment journey.   Kapiva Ayurveda Clinics currently operate in three locations in Bengaluru: Whitefield, HSR Layout and Sarjapur Road, with each clinic offering consultations for diabetes, heart health, chronic pain and women’s health. The company plans to expand across additional Bengaluru locations before evaluating multi-city growth. The launch follows the brand’s announcement of the Kapiva Innovation Fund (KIF), a Rs. 50 crore corpus dedicated to advancing research and innovation in Ayurveda, and marks the company’s broader ambition to build a holistic Ayurveda healthcare brand beyond products.  About Kapiva Kapiva is a homegrown science-backed Ayurveda brand on a mission to make evidence-based Ayurveda simple, modern, and accessible for everyday wellness. Backed by a dedicated R&D vertical of scientists and researchers, Kapiva develops authentic formulations using science-backed Ayurveda, standardised herbs, and high-quality ingredients. Kapiva has been a disruptor in the Ayurvedic industry by introducing innovation in product formats that can be easily integrated into people’s daily routines. Kapiva has expanded globally with its wholly owned subsidiaries in the USA and Middle East, and has a strong offline presence across 50,000+ stores in India. One of India’s most trusted Ayurveda brands.  Website: www.kapiva.in

Phoenix Marketcity Mumbai Takes Over Jagruti Nagar Metro Station

Phoenix Marketcity Mumbai, one of the city’s most iconic shopping, dining, and entertainment destinations, announces a strategic branding initiative with Mumbai Metro, under which Jagruti Nagar Metro Station is branded as “Phoenix Jagruti Nagar.”   Phoenix Jagruti Nagar Located on the Versova – Ghatkopar corridor, one of Mumbai’s busiest east-west transit routes, Jagruti Metro Station offers access to a high-density commuter base. With seamless interchanges at Andheri and Ghatkopar connecting to suburban rail networks – and further integration with upcoming metro corridors – the line serves as a critical mobility backbone for the city. Mumbai Metro Line 1 witnesses a daily footfall of over 1 million commuters, spanning young professionals and students. At Jagruti Nagar Metro Station, average daily footfall stands at approximately 25,000 commuters, translating to nearly 7.5 lakh monthly. With an average travel time of approximately 20 minutes across the line, the environment offers brands sustained visibility and uninterrupted engagement. Exclusive station branding, in this context, enables brands to seamlessly integrate brand messaging along passenger journey asides to create a landmark presence – driving both recall and meaningful interaction across multiple commuter touchpoints. It delivers a unique reach over 1.4 lakh commuters and approximately 1.7 million impressions. Long term presence also helps build trust among regular metro commuters as well as road level commuters. Times OOH, having exclusive marketing rights for Mumbai Metro Line 1, has worked closely with Phoenix Marketcity to execute this large-scale branding initiative. This initiative taps into the station’s daily surge of commuters, transforming routine travel into repeated moments of brand recall. By placing Phoenix Marketcity Mumbai at a key urban access point, the association converts everyday movement into heightened visibility, stronger proximity and increased frequency of visits. With this collaborative partnership for the metro station, Phoenix has further become a part of the commuter journey integrated seamlessly across signage, maps, announcements and navigation, turning a transit hub into a powerful reminder of the mall. Commenting on the initiative, Vikas Shetty, Senior Vice President Leasing & Retail Director, The Phoenix Mills Ltd., said, “With the Phoenix Jagruti Nagar metro station branding, we’re strengthening Phoenix Marketcity Mumbai’s presence within the city’s daily movement patterns. By enhancing visibility at a key transit point, we are reinforcing the mall’s position as a well-connected destination within commuters’ everyday routines. Phoenix Marketcity Mumbai is already part of the city’s lifestyle fabric, and this initiative allows us to engage with consumers at another meaningful touchpoint, further deepening that connection.” Through the “Phoenix Jagruti Nagar” station branding, Phoenix Marketcity Mumbai aligns with the city’s evolving urban movement patterns, reinforcing its role as a conveniently accessible lifestyle destination that fits naturally into Mumbai’s everyday commute.  Adding to the partnership, Rohit Chopra, COO, Times OOH, said, “Phoenix is among the first brands from the retail shopping category to leverage a differentiated format like Exclusive Station Branding on Mumbai Metro. By transforming Jagruti Metro Station into an immersive brand environment, Phoenix Marketcity is extending its presence beyond physical retail spaces to build stronger recall and deeper relatability among daily commuters. What makes this initiative compelling is the brand’s strategic use of multiple formats across the station—creating a cohesive, high-impact visual experience. The vibrant design language not only enhances commuter engagement but also integrates seamlessly into their daily journeys. We believe this initiative will significantly strengthen Phoenix’s connection with Mumbai’s urban audience.” About Phoenix Marketcity Mumbai Phoenix Marketcity Mumbai is the city’s premier destination for shopping, entertainment, and dining.

Qualitest Becomes QualityAI: The Trusted Assurance and Engineering Partner Across Every Stage of Enterprise AI

Qualitest, the leading provider of AI-first quality engineering and assurance, today announces its rebrand to QualityAI. The new brand reflects the company’s evolution from software testing specialist to AI-first quality engineering partner, helping enterprises design quality into complex systems from the outset.   Qualitest Becomes QualityAI: The Trusted Assurance and Engineering Partner Across Every Stage of Enterprise AI   Across every industry, companies are racing to adopt AI, and the pressure to demonstrate progress is rising. According to Deloitte’s 2026 “State of AI in the Enterprise” report, the proportion of organizations expecting at least 40% of AI experiments to reach production is expected to more than double within six months. As AI moves from ambition to implementation, leaders need to prove that transformation is real, reliable, and effective. In a market crowded with AI claims, assurance is becoming the difference between AI momentum and AI washing.   “Every business wants to show it is moving fast on AI, but speed alone is not enough,” said Andrew Duncan, CEO of QualityAI. “Leaders need evidence that AI is working safely, reliably, and effectively in the real world. QualityAI exists to give them that certainty, helping organizations move beyond AI claims and go live with confidence.”   In regulated and high-trust industries, including financial services, health and life sciences, energy, utilities, and the public sector, the stakes are even higher. AI failure can create operational disruption, reputational damage, and loss of trust. As AI accelerates software development and decision-making, organizations need independent quality oversight that proves systems are ready for real-world use. That proof is becoming both a compliance imperative and a competitive differentiator.   Built on almost 30 years of software testing expertise, QualityAI operates across the entire quality assurance lifecycle, from early transformation planning through to go-live and post-launch optimization.   “Our heritage is in assurance, but our role today is much broader,” Duncan said. “We work with organizations from the earliest stages of transformation, helping them define, design, engineer, test, and operate complex systems with greater certainty. That means supporting clients before launch, at go-live, and long after deployment.”   QualityAI works with some of the world’s largest technology companies developing AI models and helps enterprises embed AI into business-critical systems with greater assurance. Since 2019, it has implemented proprietary AI solutions that can accelerate software testing by up to six times, reducing the time required to validate and integrate technology across complex enterprise environments.   Duncan concluded, “The path to AI adoption can seem like uncharted territory, but it is familiar ground for QualityAI. We have spent almost 30 years helping enterprises trust the technology they depend on. As we look ahead, our role is clear: to help organizations design quality into the AI-powered systems that will define their future.”   The Deloitte State of AI in the Enterprise report is available here: www.deloitte.com/uk/en/issues/generative-ai/state-of-ai-in-enterprise.html   About QualityAI QualityAI is an AI-first quality engineering company helping enterprises deploy and scale complex systems with greater confidence. Operating across data, models, platforms, infrastructure, and operational environments, the company provides assurance and engineering expertise that helps organizations ensure systems perform reliably in real-world conditions.   Formerly Qualitest, QualityAI supports global enterprises across regulated and technology-driven industries, combining deep engineering heritage with AI-enabled delivery, operational assurance, and lifecycle expertise to help clients achieve certainty at go-live.

How Saya Gold Avenue Became One of NCR's Most Coveted Residential Addresses

The residential real estate landscape of NCR has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past decade. As homebuyers increasingly seek premium lifestyles, better connectivity, and world-class amenities, a handful of developments have emerged as benchmark projects in the region. Among them, Saya Gold Avenue, by Saya Homes, Indirapuram on NH24 has established itself as one of the most sought-after residential destinations in the region.   Premium lifestyle and recreational facilities at Saya Gold Avenue have helped establish it as one of NCR’s most sought-after residential destinations Today, Saya Gold Avenue is not merely a residential project; it is a landmark development by Saya Group that has redefined luxury living in Ghaziabad. From its towering skyline and strategic location to its extensive lifestyle amenities and thriving community, the project has become the preferred choice for discerning homebuyers, business leaders, senior professionals, and successful entrepreneurs. A Landmark That Redefined Ghaziabad’s Skyline Standing tall in the heart of Indirapuram, Saya Gold Avenue has emerged as one of Ghaziabad’s tallest residential developments, creating a distinct identity on the city’s skyline. The project comprises eight iconic towers rising up to 39 floors, reflecting contemporary architecture and premium urban living. Its scale, design, and premium positioning have made it one of the most recognized residential addresses in the region, setting new benchmarks for high-rise living in Ghaziabad.   Designed for holistic living, Saya Gold Avenue combines wellness, fitness, recreation, and community spaces in a premium residential environment Location: The Biggest Advantage For most homebuyers, location remains the single most important factor while purchasing a home, and this is where Saya Gold Avenue enjoys a significant advantage. Strategically located in Indirapuram, adjacent to Shipra Mall (now North India Mall) and with seamless access to NH-9, the project offers excellent connectivity to Noida, Delhi, Central Noida, Sector 62, and major commercial hubs across NCR. Residents benefit from proximity to schools, hospitals, shopping destinations, business districts, and public transportation networks. This combination of accessibility and urban convenience has made the project particularly attractive to working professionals, senior executives, and business families seeking a well-connected lifestyle. A Lifestyle Centered Around Experiences One of the defining features of Saya Gold Avenue is its expansive clubhouse and lifestyle infrastructure. The project boasts an approximately 80,000 sq. ft. clubhouse, among the largest lifestyle facilities in the region, complemented by a wide range of recreational and wellness amenities. Residents enjoy access to a semi-Olympic swimming pool, fitness facilities, indoor and outdoor sports infrastructure, jogging tracks, yoga spaces, children’s play areas, landscaped gardens, and multiple community engagement zones. In an era where homebuyers increasingly prioritize lifestyle and well-being, these amenities have played a key role in enhancing the project’s appeal. A Community Preferred by the City’s Achievers A residential address often derives its value not only from its physical infrastructure but also from the quality of the community it nurtures. Over the years, Saya Gold Avenue has attracted a diverse mix of accomplished residents, including entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, senior government officials, professionals, and successful business families. This vibrant community has contributed to creating a premium living environment that appeals to like-minded homebuyers seeking a sophisticated urban lifestyle. The Trust Factor Real estate is ultimately built on trust. Homebuyers invest their lifetime savings with the expectation that developers will deliver on their promises. Saya Group’s focus on quality construction, customer-centric development, and project delivery has helped establish confidence among buyers. Over the years, the Saya builder has delivered multiple residential and commercial projects across NCR, creating a strong reputation among homebuyers and investors alike. This trust has been a key driver behind the success of Saya Gold Avenue and has contributed significantly to its standing as one of the most preferred residential developments in Ghaziabad. Capital Appreciation Real estate has always been a strong asset class, helping families create and preserve generational wealth. Saya Gold Avenue has proven to many homebuyers and investors that a property located in the right location, offering world-class amenities, superior construction quality, and developed by a trusted developer, can generate significantly better returns than comparable properties in the vicinity. Over the past few years, property values at Saya Gold Avenue have appreciated three to four times, rewarding homeowners and investors with exceptional returns on their investment. The project has emerged as a landmark development, with the final few units being sold at prices exceeding Rs. 15,000 per square foot, reflecting strong buyer confidence and its premium positioning in the market. This trend further underscores a broader movement where affluent buyers are choosing established locations like Indirapuram over purely emerging corridors. Setting New Benchmarks for Urban Living As Ghaziabad continues to evolve into a mature residential market, projects that combine location, connectivity, architecture, lifestyle amenities, and community living will continue to command strong demand. Saya Gold Avenue embodies these attributes. With its iconic towers, prime location, extensive lifestyle offerings, and established resident community, the project has emerged as much more than a residential development—it has become a symbol of aspirational living in Ghaziabad. For many homebuyers, the choice is no longer just about buying a house. It is about choosing a lifestyle, a community, and a long-term address.
