Every beauty ritual begins with a choice, and over time, those choices shape not just how we look, but the world we live in. As Nykaa, India’s leading beauty and lifestyle company, celebrates 14 years of redefining beauty in India, it is turning its focus to what comes after the last drop, the empty bottle, the finished jar, and the packaging we often overlook.   Nykaa’s Recycle and Rewards Program This Earth Day, Nykaa introduces ‘Recycle and Rewards’, a programme designed to bring responsibility into the heart of everyday beauty, and move meaningfully towards a more conscious beauty economy. Launching across 14 select stores, in line with Nykaa’s 14th birthday, the initiative invites customers to return their empty, used beauty packaging and take a small but powerful step towards a more conscious routine. This initiative will be rolled out across Nykaa stores in India in a phased manner.  Starting across key markets including Mumbai, Delhi, Gurgaon, Bangalore, and Kolkata, the programme will be available at select stores such as Palladium, Linking Road, Mumbai Mall of India, Noida, DLF Avenue Mall Saket, Delhi and 100 ft Road, Bangalore. At each participating store, a dedicated recycling bin will serve as a simple starting point, making it easier for customers to integrate responsible disposal into their beauty journeys. The process is designed to be seamless. Customers can clean their beauty empties at home, bring them to a participating Nykaa store, and drop them into the recycling bin. As an immediate benefit, they receive Rs 100 off on same-day in-store billing, along with 1,000 reward points per empty credited to their Nykaa account, capped at a maximum of 10,000 reward points per visit. These rewards are redeemable both online and in-store, reinforcing the idea that doing good should feel just as rewarding.  Open to all beauty and personal care packaging with no minimum threshold, the programme is designed to encourage consistent participation rather than one-time action. As an always-on initiative, it aims to build long-term habits, where small individual actions, like dropping off an empty, can collectively drive meaningful environmental impact.   Nykaa’s Recycle and Rewards Program Behind the scenes, all collected waste will be routed through Nykaa’s existing network and processed in line with its waste management practices, working with authorised recyclers to ensure responsible handling and recycling of materials. This structured approach ensures that what is collected does not end up in landfills, but is channelled back into the recycling ecosystem. ‘Recycle and Rewards’ is a natural extension of Nykaa’s broader vision of sustainable beauty. Over the years, the company has evolved to become a holistic lifestyle partner, increasingly aligning with the expectations of a new generation of consumers who value responsibility as much as aspiration. From curating brands that prioritise cleaner formulations and thoughtful packaging, to strengthening its own House of Nykaa portfolio and supply chain practices with a more conscious lens, each step reflects a larger commitment to building a responsible beauty ecosystem. Anchit Nayar, Executive Director and CEO, Nykaa Beauty, said, “Over the past 14 years, Nykaa has been built on the belief that beauty can inspire confidence, but it must also be responsible. With ‘Recycle and Rewards’, we are taking a step towards making sustainability more accessible and actionable for our consumers, integrating it seamlessly into their everyday beauty journeys. As consumption grows, so does our collective responsibility, and this initiative is designed to encourage mindful choices while rewarding positive behaviour. This is not a standalone effort, but a continuation of Nykaa’s long-term commitment to building a more sustainable beauty ecosystem.” As Nykaa steps into its next chapter, ‘Recycle and Rewards’ is a reminder that the future of beauty will be defined not just by innovation or aspiration, but by the habits we build, the communities we shape, and the responsibility we choose to take. Building a More Conscious Beauty Ecosystem Sustainability has always been at the core of Nykaa’s journey. Through its Nykaa 10×10 initiatives: Sustainability at the Core of Operations, this vision comes to life across everyday decisions, quietly reshaping how beauty is experienced, delivered, and consumed. It shows up in the smallest details and the largest systems. A shift to zero-paper order processing. Nearly every order, 96% in FY25, reaching customers in more sustainable packaging. Behind the scenes, materials are not discarded but reimagined 160 MT of plastic and 2,003 MT of carton waste recycled. Across the ecosystem, this thinking travels further. At Superstore by Nykaa, 1.5 million brand boxes found a second life in FY 25. Within House of Nykaa warehouses, every corrugated box was reused, turning routine operations into powerful acts of reduction and reuse. But this is not just about operations. It is about enabling a shift in mindset. A growing portfolio of clean, cruelty-free, and conscious beauty invites consumers to participate in this journey, making choices that are as responsible as they are aspirational. From warehouses to retail floors, these interconnected efforts are shaping a future where beauty and responsibility move together. And as Nykaa continues to innovate, partner, and engage more deeply, it is building towards a more circular, conscious ecosystem, one where every choice, big or small, adds up to something larger.   Appendix* List of 14 Nykaa stores where customers can give their empties   Sr No Store Name 1 Nykaa Luxe Phoenix Palladium Mumbai 2 Nykaa Luxe Churchgate Mumbai 3 Nykaa Luxe Breach Candy Mumbai HS 4 Nykaa Luxe Linking Road Khar HS Mumbai 5 Nykaa Luxe Oberoi Sky City Mall Borivali 6 Nykaa Luxe PMC Kurla Mumbai 7 Nykaa Luxe DLF Saket Delhi 8 Nykaa Luxe Mall of India Noida 9 Nykaa Luxe DLF Cyber Hub Gurgaon HS 10 Nykaa Luxe Pacific Mall Tagore Garden 11 Nykaa Luxe Connaught Place HS 12 Nykaa Luxe 100Ft Bengaluru 13 Nykaa Luxe Sarjapur Bangalore HS 14 Nykaa Luxe Park Street Kolkata   About Nykaa Nykaa’s vision is to bring inspiration and joy to people everywhere, every day.

Hyundai Motor Company and TVS Motor Company sign Joint Development Agreement to deliver and commercialize electric three-wheelers in India and additional markets Products to be jointly developed by both companies, combining electric mobility expertise and deep understanding of customers’ needs Both companies will share engineering expertise, incorporating Hyundai Motor’s human-centric design approach and TVS Motor’s advanced electric three-wheeler platform   Hyundai Motor Company (Hyundai Motor) and TVS Motor Company Ltd. (TVS Motor) have signed a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) to advance the development and commercialization of innovative Electric Three-Wheeler (E3W) solutions designed specifically to address India’s last-mile mobility needs.   Hyundai Motor Company and TVS Motor Company sign Joint Development Agreement to deliver and commercialize electric three-wheelers in India and additional markets   The partnership formalized following the successful presentation of the E3W concept at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, represents a significant step towards bringing tailored mobility solutions to Indian consumers and reinforces both companies’ commitment to sustainable urban transportation.   Under the agreement, Hyundai Motor will lead the design of and co-develop the E3W by leveraging its research and development expertise, advanced mobility technologies and human-centric design approach.   “Hyundai Motor Company has long explored ways to contribute to improving India’s transportation environment as a key market, and our collaboration with TVS Motor is a strategic decision rooted in that effort. We hope the co-developed E3W enables broader access to safer and more sustainable transportation for people across the country,” – Joongsun Ko, Senior Vice President of Corporate Strategy & Planning at Hyundai Motor Company.   The E3W will be engineered to address India’s unique mobility challenges while delivering sustainable solutions aligned with local road conditions and urban infrastructure.   TVS Motor will co-develop the product using its leading-edge electric platform, extensive three-wheeler engineering expertise and deep local market knowledge. Leveraging its long legacy of trust and quality focus, TVS will also lead local sales, with its manufacturing operations in India catering to Indian market demand and future exports.    Commenting on the development, Sharad Mishra, President, Group Strategy, TVS Motor Company, said, “At TVS Motor Company, we aim to transform quality of life through sustainable and accessible mobility. The Joint Development Agreement marks an important step in our partnership with Hyundai Motor Company and advances our shared ambition to develop electric three-wheeler solutions.

This collaboration reinforces our commitment to scalable, sustainable last-mile mobility while setting new benchmarks in technology, quality, customer experience, and a legacy of trust.”   Both companies are committed to delivering the first vehicle in India – the world’s largest three-wheeler market – as part of the JDA marking a significant milestone in sustainable last-mile mobility innovation.   A cornerstone of this partnership is the commitment to localize component manufacturing for the E3W model’s production. Major components will be sourced and manufactured locally within India. This strategic approach serves multiple objectives: it strengthens India’s automotive supply chain ecosystem, creates employment opportunities, reduces overall vehicle costs and ensures rapid after-sales support and spare parts availability for end customers.   From Concept to Reality The E3W concept unveiled at Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 showcased innovative features tailored to Indian mobility challenges. These include adaptive ground clearance for monsoon-affected roads, enhanced safety features, ergonomic design for extended commutes, enhanced thermal management for tropical climates and flexible interior configurations for multiple use cases – from passenger transport to goods delivery and emergency services.   The agreement formalizes the transition from concept exploration to concrete product development and mass production. The vehicle will undergo rigorous testing, localization refinement and certification processes to meet Indian regulatory standards and customer expectations.    Hyundai Motor’s vision of “Progress for Humanity” extends to reimagining mobility solutions for emerging markets. By combining the company’s global engineering excellence with TVS Motor’s unparalleled understanding of electric mobility and Indian customers, this partnership is positioned to deliver an E3W offering that balances technology, affordability, sustainability and safety.

Dreamtime Learning, founded by Lina Ashar, has elevated Sudip Saha to Co-Founder, formalising his operational role in scaling the organisation’s Conscious Learning Ecosystem across four business lines since 2023.   Dreamtime Learning elevates Sudip Saha from Chief Business Officer to Co-Founder, marking a shift from building systems to shaping the brand’s global growth journey   Backed by Gruhas, the investment vehicle of Nikhil Kamath and Abhijeet Pai, Dreamtime Learning operates a curriculum backed by brain and behavioural science across an online school, micro-school campuses, a partner school network, and a dedicated Southeast Asia entity. The organisation currently serves 2,000+ enrolled learners through its online school, runs two micro-school campuses in Pune and Hyderabad, and operates 80+ partner schools across India, Malaysia, Oman, UAE, and Saudi Arabia through its “Powered by Dreamtime Learning” programme.   Sudip joined right before the beginning in 2023 with a mandate to translate Dreamtime’s educational vision into scalable formats with measurable impact across geographies. Over three years, he drove enrollment growth in the online school to 2,000+ active learners, expanded the partner school network across five international markets, and operationalised two micro-school campuses as a proof-of-concept for a format the organisation plans to scale to additional cities. He led the incorporation and go-to-market for Dreamtime Learning Asia in Malaysia, structuring it as a standalone entity with locally accredited curriculum pathways, independent partnerships, and its own growth targets for the Southeast Asian market.   As Co-Founder, Sudip Saha takes co-ownership of Dreamtime Learning’s next chapter: where the organisation expands, which markets it bets on, and how it builds the infrastructure to support a fundamentally different model of schooling at scale. The elevation marks a shift from execution to ownership.   Reflecting on his transition, Lina Ashar, Founder of Dreamtime Learning, said, “Sudip has been central to how we’ve grown across markets and formats, and more importantly, how we think about the future of schooling. As we scale Dreamtime globally, his role becomes even more critical in building the systems and models that will define our next phase. This elevation recognises both his contribution and the role he will continue to play in what comes next.”   The elevation acknowledges Sudip’s role in translating Dreamtime Learning’s vision into a scalable, global model.   Speaking about his journey at Dreamtime Learning, Sudip Saha, Co-Founder, said, “Lina had a vision for what schooling could truly look like, one grounded in how children actually learn, not how systems have always run. From the moment I encountered that vision, I knew it was worth building for. My role has been to take everything she has imagined and find the ways to make it real: the schools, the partnerships, the markets, the models. Three years in, we have only just started.”   As Dreamtime Learning enters its next phase, this transition reflects a broader shift in how education is being built for scale today. With Sudip Saha as Co-Founder, the organisation is set to play a more active role in shaping the future of globally connected learning models.   About Dreamtime Learning Dreamtime Learning is a Conscious Learning Ecosystem with a futuristic curriculum grounded in brain and behavioural science, founded by Lina Ashar and backed by Gruhas (Nikhil Kamath and Abhijeet Pai). The ecosystem operates a global online school with 2,000+ learners, two micro-school campuses in Pune and Hyderabad, a partner school network of 80+ schools across India, Malaysia, Oman, UAE, and Saudi Arabia, and Dreamtime Learning Asia, its flagship school in Malaysia.

India’s energy transition reaches a defining milestone — Juniper’s integrated 259 MWp Solar, 280 MW Wind, and 200 MWh BESS project enters commissioning phase across Rajasthan and Gujarat Juniper races ahead of all industry peers to become the FIRST RE developer to begin commissioning under the SJVN FDRE scheme, delivering firm, clean power to Haryana just as summer demand peaks   Having already pioneered India’s first merchant BESS in Bikaner, Juniper Green Energy Limited now achieves another landmark — beginning commissioning of India’s first Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) project under Government of India’s Flagship FDRE Guidelines, marking yet another historic first for the Indian power sector. The integrated project combines 259 MWp Solar, 280 MW Wind, and 200 MWh BESS spanning Rajasthan and Gujarat, designed to deliver reliable, Firm and Dispatchable clean power aligned precisely to grid demand.   Juniper Green Energy’s FDRE power plant in Fatehgarh, Barmer, Rajasthan   “This marks the start of India’s first Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy project — a defining milestone in our vision to deliver firm and dispatchable renewable power. It reflects Juniper Green Energy’s strong execution capabilities, technological depth, and commitment to shaping the future of sustainable energy. By seamlessly integrating solar, wind, and battery storage at utility scale, we are not only demonstrating India’s clean energy potential but also setting new benchmarks for reliability and innovation in the sector. FDRE is not just a project type — it is our conviction about how India will power its future,” said Ankush Malik, CEO, Juniper Green Energy Limited.   The FDRE Framework: Powering India’s Grid on Demand As India’s renewable energy capacity grew rapidly, grid stability became a pressing concern — solar stops generating at night and wind cannot be dispatched on demand. To bridge this gap, the Ministry of Power notified FDRE guidelines in June 2023, requiring developers to integrate solar, wind, and battery storage into a single project capable of delivering firm, scheduled power aligned precisely to Discom demand profiles. Unlike conventional renewables, FDRE is firm and dispatchable — making it, for the first time, a clean and reliable alternative to coal-based thermal generation   Key Project Milestones The 259 MWp solar capacity commenced commercial operations in March 2026, while the 200 MWh BESS capacity began commercial operations in April 2026.   Delivering Clean Power When Haryana Needs It Most As temperatures soar across North India in the summer months ahead, electricity demand in Haryana is expected to touch record highs. By commissioning its FDRE project ahead of schedule, Juniper Green Energy is directly addressing this critical need — delivering firm, renewable power that is both clean and dependable.   The SJVN FDRE Tender Juniper Green Energy’s FDRE project was awarded under a landmark tender floated by SJVN Limited under its SJVN FDRE Scheme, attracting India’s leading renewable energy developers in a competitive reverse auction process. Juniper signed a 200 MW Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with SJVN, which has in turn executed a back-to-back Power Sale Agreement (PSA) with Haryana Power Purchase Centre (HPPC), ensuring firm, clean renewable power to the state of Haryana. Of all the developers who successfully bid under this tender, Juniper Green Energy is the FIRST to begin commissioning and supply power.   FDRE: The Future of India’s Energy Transformation The transformative impact of FDRE on India’s energy sector is multi-dimensional — enabling distribution companies to procure clean power that truly mirrors their demand patterns, while driving large-scale investment in battery storage and accelerating India’s domestic storage ecosystem. Since the Ministry of Power issued FDRE guidelines in 2023, over 10 tenders aggregating more than 14 GW of FDRE capacity have been launched by central and state agencies including SJVN, NHPC, SECI and NTPC, with approximately 10 GW already under construction — representing one of the fastest-growing segments in India’s utility-scale renewable energy market.   For Juniper Green Energy, FDRE represents a core pillar of its long-term strategy. The company is at the forefront of India’s transition to firm and dispatchable renewable energy, actively shaping the market through advanced integration of solar, wind, and energy storage, and by leading early execution under national FDRE programs. As new tender cycles emerge across central and state agencies, Juniper is well-positioned to continue leading from the front — developing and commissioning large-scale FDRE projects, delivering reliable clean power, and setting new benchmarks in execution, innovation, and grid-ready renewable solutions in India.   About Juniper Green Energy Juniper Green Energy is an independent renewable energy power producer in India, focused on the development, construction and operations of utility-scale solar, wind, and hybrid renewable energy projects. It is headquartered in Delhi NCR since October 2018; the company has grown its operational capacity to approximately 1.66 GWp (as of Jan 14th, 2026). With expertise spanning the entire project lifecycle – from initial concept to construction and development across India – Juniper Green Energy provides energy solutions and undertakes large-scale projects, thus playing a role in India’s shift towards clean energy.   Juniper Green Energy is a part of the AT Capital Group, a globally diversified investment group based in Singapore. AT Capital Group focuses on sectors including Renewable Energy, Residential and Commercial Real Estate, with a presence in India, the GCC, and Europe. Within India, the Group also operates Experion Developers, a leading real estate company focused on luxury and sustainable developments across key locations in the country.   Disclaimer JUNIPER GREEN ENERGY LIMITED is proposing, subject to applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, receipt of requisite approvals, market conditions and other considerations, to make an initial public issuance of its Equity Shares (“Issue”) and has filed the Draft Red Herring Prospectus (“DRHP”) dated June 27, 2025, with Securities and Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”) and the Stock Exchanges.

Reflecting on the decade-long journey from IIAD to UDIT, he noted, “This celebratory evening marks a pivotal moment in our journey from the Indian Institute of Art & Design (IIAD) to the UDIT, honoring a decade of design-led learning while embracing an integrated future that aligns with emerging technologies and collaborative practice.”   Building on the 10-year legacy of IIAD, design-led learning and sustained industry engagement has shaped UDIT’s academic foundation. UDIT now sustains an integrated academic framework that aligns design, and emerging technologies, underpinned by project-led coursework, studio-based practice and collaborative endeavours.   The University is anchored in an interdisciplinary approach across its three schools offering undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across a diverse range of disciplines. The School of Design comprises the departments of Fashion, Visual Communication and Product & Interior Design. The School of Management includes the departments of Fashion Management and Technology Management. A unified approach to learning, where multiple ways of thinking converge to shape thoughtful, well-rounded creators.   About UDIT The University of Design, Innovation and Technology (UDIT) marks a new direction for higher education in India. Established through an Act of the Haryana State Legislature, UDIT is conceived as a university for creators, built to respond to a world where design, technology and business increasingly operate together.   UDIT marks the evolution of a decade of design excellence at the Indian Institute of Art and Design (IIAD), founded in 2015. IIAD has proved over the past decade that studio-based, hands-on education produces industry-ready graduates. UDIT extends this philosophy across three integrated schools: Design, Technology and Management. These are not separate schools sharing a campus. They are three dimensions of a single educational philosophy, with deliberately porous boundaries, shared studios and collaborative curricula designed to shape professionals who build an understanding between creative vision, technical execution and business strategy.   UDIT’s Gurugram campus is by design made for collaboration and creation. With co-working hubs, dynamic exhibition spaces, an open-air amphitheatre, an expansive library, industry-grade labs and full-scale sports courts, the environment itself contributes to students’ learning.   The studio is the core of a UDIT education. What truly sets UDIT apart is its inclination towards studio-based hands-on learning, with the curriculum being constantly tailored in sync with evolving industry trends.   The School of Design brings together Visual Communication, Fashion, Product & Interior Design, with B.Des. and M.Des. degrees grounded in rigorous creative thinking and applied practice. The School of Management focuses on industries where creativity and commerce intersect, spanning fashion, luxury and technology, with BBA and MBA programmes designed to cultivate business leaders who can navigate both strategic and operational realities. Complementing this, the School of Technology offers B.Tech and M.Tech programmes that approach computer science, AI & Design and emerging technologies through a design-led lens, producing technologists who understand users, systems and product thinking in equal measure.   A strong network of over 500 industry partnerships, developed through IIAD, continues to anchor UDIT’s engagement with practice. Collaborations with leading international universities, including Kingston University, Nottingham Trent University, University for the Creative Arts and Arts University Bournemouth, bring global perspectives into the academic experience. Bringing global standards to an education that is distinctly, purposefully India.   UDIT represents a fundamental reimagination of higher education for the creative economy. Built on IIAD’s decade of design excellence, UDIT is India’s first university to fully integrate design, technology and management education around a creator-centred pedagogy.

This Earth Day, Kiro is placing its stackable and multi-tasking product range at the centre of a broader sustainability narrative one that moves beyond symbolic, one-off actions and instead focuses on everyday consumption habits.   Four Play Non-Stop Airy Matte Liquid Lip – Ultimate Quad As sustainability conversations evolve, the brand is advocating for a more consistent, behaviour-led approach encouraging consumers to integrate mindful choices into their daily routines, rather than limiting action to annual moments. At the core of this approach is Kiro’s stackable range, designed to consolidate multiple products into a single unit. The 3-in-1 Eye Stack, which combines a full-size mascara, eyeliner and eyeshadow, and the 4-in-1 Liquid Lipstick Stack, offering multiple shades in one format, are positioned as practical solutions to reduce product redundancy and packaging waste.   3 in1 eyestack By integrating three to four products into one, the brand reduces the need for individual plastic components and outer cartons, lowering overall material consumption while also improving efficiency across storage and transportation. Alongside this, Kiro continues to build on its foundation of clean, vegan formulations through multi-tasking products that simplify routines. Its skin tint combines hydration, primer, pigment and SPF in a single step, while multi-use formats for lips, cheeks and eyes allow consumers to replace multiple products with one reducing both purchase volume and product waste. Together, these innovations support the brand’s larger philosophy of “slow beauty” a shift away from excessive consumption towards fewer, high-performance products that are used fully rather than discarded midway.   Commenting on this, Vasundhara Patni, Founder, Kiro, said, “Sustainability cannot be a once-a-year activity it has to become part of our everyday routine. At Kiro, we’ve always believed in buying less, but buying better. That means creating products that truly work for you, so they are used fully rather than wasted. Our approach to slow beauty is rooted in reducing excess whether through multitasking formulations that replace multiple steps, or stackable formats that bring several products into one and reduce packaging. We are not here to sell more, but to create better because small, consistent choices in how we consume have a far greater long-term impact than occasional actions.” The brand also operates as a plastic-neutral company, offsetting the amount of plastic it introduces into the environment, while continuing to prioritise reduction through design and formulation. With sustainability in beauty increasingly expanding beyond ingredients to include packaging, lifecycle impact and consumer behaviour, Kiro’s Earth Day initiative reflects a broader industry shift where clean beauty, design innovation and mindful consumption come together to streamline routines and minimise waste. This Earth Day, Kiro underscores a clear message: meaningful change lies not in doing more occasionally, but in doing better every day. To explore the range visit www.kirobeauty.com.
