Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga (MDNIY), Ministry of Ayush, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Habuild, India’s first habit-building platform to launch a nationwide digital yoga initiative in the lead-up to the International Day of Yoga 2026. This collaboration aims to encourage citizens across the country to adopt yoga as a simple daily practice through structured and accessible online programmes.    Dr. Kashinath Samagandi, Director, Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga at the signing ceremony between MDNIY and Habuild   As part of the yoga 365 initiative, Habuild and MDNIY, Ministry of Ayush rolled out a large-scale digital yoga movement (in March 2026) leading up to June 21, 2026, with the objective of encouraging people to practise yoga consistently every day for 100 days. The initiative has already seen participation from over 4 lakh active participants from 130+ countries and every Indian state and Union Territory and is expected to grow multifolds until June 21.    The initiative introduces participants to simple yoga practices that can be integrated into everyday life via the Youtube channel of the Ministry of Ayush. The guided sessions are led by Saurabh Bothra, Co-Founder  and Yoga Instructor of Habuild, whose approach to yoga focuses on habit formation, mindful movement, and building sustainable wellness routines rather than short-term fitness goals. The format has been designed to ensure that everyone can comfortably participate and gradually build a consistent yoga practice.   The initiative reflects a shared vision between MDNIY, Ministry of Ayush and Habuild to expand the reach of yoga through digital platforms while strengthening the culture of preventive healthcare in India.    Commenting on the initiative, Saurabh Bothra, Co-founder, Habuild, said, “Yoga becomes transformative when it moves from an occasional activity to a quiet daily discipline. India has always had a deep cultural relationship with yoga, yet modern lifestyles often make it difficult for people to stay consistent. Through this collaboration with MDNIY, Ministry of Ayush, we hope to create a simple pathway for people to begin and sustain that relationship again. When millions of people practise even a few minutes of yoga every day, the impact extends far beyond individual wellbeing and begins to shape a healthier society.”   Over the years, global observance of International Yoga Day on June 21 has helped introduce yoga to millions of people across the world. The new digital initiative seeks to deepen that engagement within India by encouraging people to move beyond symbolic participation and experience yoga as a consistent part of everyday living.   For Free Yoga until June 21, register here – moa.habit.yoga or call on the toll-free 1800-315-2008.   Link to Message from Sh.

For many Indian aftersales partners visiting Vietnam in May, the biggest takeaway from the VinFast Global Business Conference was not just factory scale or new EV models. It was the realization that VinFast is investing heavily in the part of the EV business many consumers care about most: long-term ownership confidence. Electric vehicles have enormous potential in India. According to a survey conducted in late March, three in ten Indians say life would be unimaginable without a car, while 46 per cent prefer owning one even when it is not essential. At the same time, around 63 per cent of respondents said they are likely to adopt EVs, including both two-wheelers and four-wheelers, within the next five years(1).    VinFast is investing heavily in the part of the EV business many consumers care about most: long-term ownership confidence   Yet major concerns still remain. “There is still the question of battery life, resale value and long-term reliability. The perceived danger of the unknown can easily surpass the savings potential even in situations where the economics is obviously in favor of EVs,” said one industry insider(2).   Those concerns have become one of the biggest barriers to EV adoption in India, especially for newer brands still working to establish long-term credibility. That was why many discussions during VinFast’s Global Business Conference in Vietnam earlier this month focused less on horsepower or vehicle specifications and more on infrastructure, workshops, charging networks, and customer support.   For nearly a week, more than 200 partners, investors, and aftersales operators from markets including India toured VinFast’s manufacturing complex, visited service workshops, attended strategy sessions, and explored the broader Vingroup ecosystem.   What many delegates encountered was not simply an automaker expanding internationally, but a company trying to build the surrounding ownership ecosystem alongside vehicle sales.   “Being in the automobile sector, we work with many OEMs, but VinFast is one of the very few companies thinking about the complete ecosystem,” said Rishav Kumar Choudhary, Managing Director of JP Emobility India, after participating in the program.   Aftersales as part of the product While many automakers in India have accelerated EV launches in recent years, charging availability, maintenance accessibility, and long-term ownership support still vary widely across regions. For workshop operators and service partners, the challenge goes beyond customer demand. Investing in EV tooling, technician training, and service infrastructure carries significant risk if an OEM’s long-term commitment to the market remains uncertain.   “It is not only about selling cars. It is also about building the infrastructure those cars require and addressing customer concerns, from charging and aftersales to resale value and ownership confidence,” said Rishav.   That reality shaped much of the attention Indian delegates paid to VinFast’s aftersales strategy during the Vietnam visit. Rather than focusing solely on products or showroom expansion, the company used the conference to demonstrate how it plans to support EV ownership at scale.   During the conference, VinFast outlined plans to expand its global aftersales network to more than 1,100 service workshops in 2026, supported by standardized technician training, quality control systems, and spare parts supply commitments targeting rapid delivery in key markets.   At the same time, VinFast has been expanding its broader EV ecosystem through charging infrastructure partnerships, mobility services, and customer support programs designed to reduce ownership concerns over the long term. In India specifically, through partner V-Green, VinFast is expanding charging access via partnerships with HPCL and RoadGrid, leveraging HPCL’s network of more than 24,400 fuel stations across the country.   Alongside the infrastructure push, VinFast has introduced a range of ownership incentives, including free charging through March 31, 2029, three years of free maintenance, 10-year battery warranties, financial support for customers switching from gasoline vehicles to EVs, and a value assurance buyback program covering up to 75 per cent of vehicle value to help protect long-term resale confidence.   “The free charging, battery warranty, and vehicle warranty programs are extremely attractive offers that very few international brands provide,” said Sweta Choudhary, Director of JP Emobility India.   VinFast’s ecosystem vision became easier for delegates to understand once they experienced it firsthand in Vietnam. VinFast vehicles remained highly visible on the roads across Hanoi, Hai Phong, and other cities, operating not only as private vehicles but also in transportation services and fleet operations. Delegates also toured several of the more than 400 workshops in VinFast’s service network and attended discussion sessions focused on global service expansion and operational support.   The experience culminated at VinFast’s manufacturing complex in Hai Phong, where delegates saw one of the company’s largest operational pillars up close. With large-scale automation systems, robotics, and integrated production lines operating across the site, the facility became one of the highlights of the trip among international visitors.   “Seeing the factory was amazing,” said Shailesh Borse, Vice President at MyTVS India. “With more than 90% automation and the latest technology, it reflects a very modern infrastructure.”   At the same time, the visit also gave delegates a clearer understanding that while VinFast is building its own EV ecosystem, the company itself operates within the broader ecosystem of Vingroup, Vietnam’s largest private conglomerate. Vingroup and founder-affiliated companies such as V-Green are helping build charging and mobility infrastructure around the VinFast brand not only in Vietnam, but increasingly in international markets as well.   In Vietnam alone, V-Green is developing a charging network of roughly 150,000 charging ports nationwide, averaging around 3.5 km between charging stations in urban areas and approximately 65 km across 106 national highways and expressways.   For Sweta, the impression extended well beyond the automotive business itself.   “I learned about Vingroup and how it is transforming Vietnam across healthcare, technology, robotics, and many other sectors,” she said. “Vingroup is present in almost every aspect of life, and now it has entered mobility, where we are proud to be partners.”   By the end of the conference, VinFast’s strategy had helped persuade nearly 30 new international aftersales partners to sign Memoranda

On Goa Statehood Day, the familiar sounds of guitars, Konkani rhythms, theatrical performances, and applause echoed through the auditorium at Galgotias University as students recreated fragments of Goa far away from its coastline. For a few hours, the campus moved away from routine academic schedules and turned into a cultural window into Goa’s music, traditions, stories, and artistic life.   Goa’s history, music, traditions, and cultural spirit came alive at Galgotias University as students celebrated Goa Statehood Day through performances, storytelling, and visual art Known for its unique blend of Indian and Portuguese influences, Goa occupies a distinctive place in India’s cultural landscape. From its folk traditions, music, architecture, cuisine, and coastal communities to its festivals, artistic legacy, and layered social history, Goa represents a meeting point of multiple civilisational and cultural influences. The celebration at Galgotias University attempted to bring these dimensions alive for students through music, theatre, dance, visual storytelling, and performances inspired by the state’s cultural identity. The event was graced by Mr. Sanjay Kumar Srivastava, Former Chief Secretary, Goa, along with his wife. The occasion began with a traditional Goan Khordu welcome, introducing audiences to a ceremonial gesture closely associated with Goan hospitality and community traditions. One of the highlights of the event was a specially curated documentary on Goa created by the School of Media and Communication Studies at Galgotias University. Showcased during the celebrations, the documentary traced Goa’s journey across centuries, touching upon early historical references, the Kadamba and Vijayanagara influences, temple traditions and architectural evolution, the Portuguese colonial period, Operation Vijay, and Goa’s eventual Statehood. Through archival references, visuals, narration, music, and storytelling, the film attempted to present Goa not merely as a tourist destination but as a region shaped by history, resistance, migration, faith, language, and cultural exchange. The presentation was warmly received by attendees and became one of the most discussed segments of the programme. The auditorium came alive through a series of performances presented by students from the Music Club, Dance Club, and Actors Hub. Music, dance, theatre, and stage performances inspired by Goan and contemporary cultural themes filled the venue with rhythm, movement, humour, and audience participation. From musical renditions such as Maria Pitache and Memories to choreographed performances and theatrical segments, students brought different fragments of Goan and contemporary performance culture onto the stage. The programme also reflected the scale of student involvement behind the scenes. Students participated across scripting, editing, stage coordination, anchoring, costume planning, performances, and documentary production in the days leading up to the event, turning the celebration into a collaborative cultural production exercise. Dr. Dhruv Galgotia, CEO, Galgotias University, reflected on Goa’s distinctive cultural and historical identity during the celebration. He said, “Goa carries a cultural personality unlike any other part of India. Its music, architecture, churches, temples, food traditions, coastal communities, and social life reflect centuries of cultural exchange and historical evolution. Yet many young people encounter Goa only through popular imagery, while its deeper historical and cultural layers often remain unexplored. Through this celebration, we wanted students to engage with Goa’s history, artistic traditions, stories, and lived culture through performances, visuals, music, and storytelling that could make those experiences feel immediate and tangible on campus.” The Goa Statehood Day celebration concluded with students and attendees carrying back memories of performances and music, as well as a deeper understanding of Goa’s rich history, cultural evolution, and artistic traditions.
