Xflow, India’s leading cross-border payments infrastructure company, today announced the launch of a pilot that enables Indian businesses to accept payments in USDC and USDT from anywhere in the world, and compliantly convert them to INR.   Anand Balaji, Co-founder and CEO, Xflow  This solution allows stable-native platforms and cross-border payment providers to offer stablecoin acceptance as a payment method for their customers without the platforms or their customers holding, managing, or taking custody of stablecoins. The stablecoin leg stays entirely outside India. Only fiat enters India, via an AD Category I bank, with full compliance documentation. A growing set of global businesses are making payments in stablecoins. For Indian MSMEs, service exporters, SaaS companies, this has created a barrier as there is no compliant mechanism to accept stablecoin payments for trade transactions and bring them into India. Xflow has heard directly from Indian businesses that have lost customers because of this gap. To address this, Xflow has partnered with overseas licensed player to accept and off-ramp stablecoins on behalf of Indian businesses, entirely outside India, and then bring the resulting funds into India through traditional, regulated fiat rails.  “Indian businesses should not be losing business because their international customers want to pay in stablecoins. Building a seamless & compliant money-movement infrastructure for exporters is exactly what Xflow is here to do. We are quite excited about this release and have initially rolled this out to select platforms, giving their users the best of both worlds by supporting stablecoin transactions compliantly,” — Anand Balaji, Co-Founder, Xflow. Platforms that already offer stablecoin wallets to customers – enabling them to receive payments from end-users – can now compliantly bring those payments into India. Xflow’s cross-border stack handles the entire off-ramp and settlement flow, so platforms can offer their customers a complete stablecoin-to-INR solution without building compliance infrastructure themselves. Xflow will soon roll this pilot out to all stable native platforms. About XFlow The 21st century world of international commerce is hobbled by a 20th century experience for cross border payments. XFlow is a financial services and infrastructure company that wants to dramatically upgrade the cross border payments experience for businesses of all sizes – from freelancers to mid-market enterprises and all the way to large platform enterprises servicing millions of customers. XFlow’s name reflects its mission – cross-border payments that flow smoothly and transparently. XFlow is built and run by payments industry veterans, Anand Balaji and Ashwin Bhatnagar, bringing together deep payment industry experience and rich technology domain expertise. XFlow enjoys solid financial footing and is funded by leading international investors, including Lightspeed, General Catalyst and Stripe. For more information, visit: www.xflowpay.com

In a significant step towards strengthening cultural diplomacy, tourism cooperation and creative collaboration between India and Vietnam, The state-owned national carrier Vietnam Airlines and Saigontourist Group -Vietnam’s oldest and leading state-owned tourism group officially inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Innovations India for collaboration on two prestigious India–Vietnam initiatives: the upcoming Bollywood feature film SILAA and the 5th edition of Namaste Vietnam Festival to be held in Vietnam in 2026.   President To Lam, CM Devendra Fadnavis, VNA Chairman Dang Ngoc Hoa and Captain Rahul Bali   The MoU signing ceremony took place in Mumbai on 7 May 2026 in the esteemed presence of H.E. Mr. To Lam, President of Vietnam and Devendra Fadnavis, Chief Minister of Maharashtra along with several distinguished dignitaries and senior leaders from both nations including Culture & Tourism Minister of Vietnam H.E. Mr. Ho An Phong & Indian Ambassador to Vietnam H. E. Tshering Sherpa.   This landmark collaboration forms part of the historic first official state visit of Vietnamese President H.E. Mr. To Lam to India and coincides with the 10th anniversary celebrations of the Vietnam–India Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, underscoring the growing friendship, trust, and strategic cooperation between the two nations.   The MoU was formally signed by Dang Ngoc Hoa, Chairman of Vietnam Airlines, Nguyen Huu Y Yen, Chairwoman of Saigontourist Group, and Captain Rahul Bali, Managing Director of Innovations India, who is also the Producer of SILAA and the Curator of Namaste Vietnam Festival.   Speaking on the occasion, President H.E. Mr. To Lam said, “Vietnam and India share a timeless friendship built on trust, cultural understanding, and mutual respect. Collaborations in cinema, tourism, and cultural exchange not only strengthen people-to-people connections but also open new avenues of cooperation between our nations. I am pleased to see institutions from Vietnam and India coming together to further deepen the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership during this important milestone year.”   Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis stated, “Maharashtra has always been India’s gateway for culture, cinema, business, and international collaboration.

The MoU is being viewed as a major milestone in the evolving India–Vietnam partnership and a powerful example of how cinema, tourism and cultural initiatives can further deepen friendship and cooperation between the people of both nations.

Between the harbour and the convention hall, between tradition and the digital frontier, Art Basel Hong Kong set the tone for a new era. Robb Report India was there — with two of India’s most compelling creative voices, artist Siddharth Kerkar and sculptor Jayesh Sachdev.   Art Basel Hong Kong 2026 Inside the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre—its glass façade staring out over Victoria Harbour like an eye fixed on the horizon—the art world had once again gathered for its annual communion starting March 25, 2026. Art Basel Hong Kong, now in its 13th edition, returned with 240 galleries from 42 countries and territories. Over half of participating galleries operate spaces within the Asia-Pacific region, a fact that underscores how regional voices are echoing louder than ever before. Preview days on March 25 and 26 drew a high-density turnout of collectors, curators, institutional buyers, and the curious. By the time the public doors opened on March 27, Asia’s largest art fair had already closed many deals. Robb Report India visited the fair grounds on the preview day for a closer look. The fair offered a particularly immersive, almost educational vantage point. Robb Report India exclusively covered Art Basel through the lens of two artists whose relationship with art is anything but passive or touristic: Siddharth Kerkar, the Goa-based artist, restaurateur, and founder of India’s largest affordable art festival; and Jayesh Sachdev, the Pune-based sculptor and founder of Quirk Box, who recently collaborated with Zara—the first Indian artist to do so, across an art-fashion-sculpture partnership. New Sectors, New Conversations The 2026 edition introduced Echoes, a sector dedicated entirely to works made within the past five years. At Double Q Gallery’s Hong Kong debut, Polish Minimalist Natalia Załuska transformed the booth into an immersive work of geometric abstraction. Picture edges dissolving between two- and three-dimensions. At Max Estrella, Madrid, Tiffany Chung’s embroidered maps of ancient spice routes hung alongside Miler Lagos’ astonishing sculptures of books carved into dense, geological forms. Hyun Nahm’s work at Whistle fused classical East Asian aesthetics with digital materiality, drawing on the Korean concept of chukgyeong—encompassing nature’s vastness into miniature forms—to compress ideas about telecommunication infrastructure and global digital consumption into compact sculptural form. Encounters, the sector dedicated to monumental installations, underwent a transformation. For the first time, this section was curated collectively by four Asia-based curators led by Mami Kataoka, alongside Isabella Tam, Alia Swastika, and Hirokazu Tokuyama. Their organising framework was the Five Elements, the cosmological system found across Asian traditions, with each element—space/ether, water, fire, wind, earth—assigned to specific areas throughout the convention halls. Perhaps no addition to the 2026 fair generated as much conversation as Zero 10, Art Basel’s global initiative dedicated to art of the digital era, making its Asia debut after launching at Art Basel Miami Beach in December 2025. Named for Kazimir Malevich’s seminal 1915 exhibition, it featured 14 exhibitors and asked a simple, urgent question: How can digital art be exhibited, contextualised, and collected within today’s art economy? Curated by Eli Scheinman and featuring 14 exhibitors including Art Blocks, bitforms gallery, and Silk Art House, the sector asked hard questions about provenance, and community in an age where digital culture evolves faster than institutional frameworks. One moment stood out: DeeKay’s digital animations that traced psychological states through vivid, almost hallucinatory movement. The work was unabashedly algorithmic and yet unmistakably emotional, a combination that felt like a precursor of where image-making is headed. Hong Kong Art Basel 2026: Through Indian Eyes Sachdev, whose practice moves between painting, sculpture, mythology-driven installations, and works rooted in ancient Indian iconography and rendered in chrome, glass, and reflective contemporary surfaces, arrived in Hong Kong attuned to a frequency the city answered immediately.“What I like about cities like this—which are really modern—is that you can still find the contrast of them being so deeply rooted culturally. These are ancient cultures which have now built into contemporary architectural and urban spaces. That dichotomy is very interesting,” he says. Inside the fair’s halls, he found his own reflections in unexpected places, including the work of Fung Studios, a Singapore-based design agency whose graphic work, carrying both Japanese and Southeast Asian influences, had long been a reference in his own practice. “It was very interesting to see some of that here,” he said while speaking to Robb Report India. The fair’s embrace of multimedia, mixed media, and architectural installation formats also sat well with an artist who refuses to be categorised by medium alone. “My work is not bound to one medium,” he noted. “I don’t just work with paint or sculpture alone, so this place having a mix of all those different mediums was something I quite enjoyed.” Kerkar, a Central Saint Martins alumnus who has navigated art fairs since childhood—accompanying his father, the celebrated Goan artist Subodh Kerkar, to exhibitions across Europe and as far as the Venice Biennale—arrived with practised eye. By the time Art Basel’s halls had been traversed, his tally included at least 10 museums and well over 100 gallery booths. What he came away with was not a list though. “You don’t know what stays with you or where inspiration comes from,” he says in conversation with Robb Report India. For Kerkar, the act of absorbing is slow and cumulative, a process that often only reveals itself later alone, scrolling back through photographs taken in the heat of the fair. What Kerkar absorbed at the fair was less any single work than a cumulative shift in material sensibility—the reappearance of textile, of slow craft, of the handmade in contexts where one might have expected the digital to dominate. The Encounters sector, in particular, gave him pause: the yarn and fibre works by Tandel and Kang representing a return to matter, to touch, that he found both unexpected and necessary. Between Kerkar’s patient, cumulative absorption and Sachdev’s immediate, parallel-drawing responsiveness, what emerged was a portrait of two very different artistic temperaments arriving at the same conclusion: that Hong Kong, in this particular

SBI General Insurance, one of India’s leading general insurance companies, has announced a new film featuring Pankaj Tripathi in continuation of its campaign ‘Chuniye Bharosa, Apno Sa’. The film highlights the growing need for health insurance in our daily lives and in these uncertain times.   As part of its ‘Chuniye Bharosa, Apno Sa’ campaign, SBI General Insurance has launched a new film highlighting the importance of health cover for families   India is witnessing a steady rise in lifestyle-related health concerns and medical inflation, increasing the financial burden on households during emergencies. Recent government data released through the National Statistical Office’s (NSO) 80th round health survey showed that an average hospitalisation in the country now leads to an out-of-pocket expenditure of over Rs. 34,000 for households, underlining the significant financial burden medical emergencies can create for families despite growing health insurance penetration.   Featuring Pankaj Tripathi, the film is rooted in the realities of everyday life. It vividly reflects the daily hustle, long commutes, demanding workdays, and sacrifices people make to secure a better future for their families. Through an emotional and relatable narrative, the film reminds viewers that while they work tirelessly for their loved ones, they often overlook a key priority protecting the health and financial well-being of their families and securing the future of those who matter most. The campaign reinforces the importance of choosing trusted and adequate health insurance support during uncertain times.   Speaking on this, Rathin Lahiri, Head – Marketing & CSR, SBI General Insurance said, “Healthcare preparedness today is about more than just owning an insurance policy. For salaried individuals with family responsibilities, setting aside at least 2% of annual income towards insurance can be a prudent step to address changing health needs and rising medical costs. Through our Chuniye Bharosa, Apno Sa campaign, featuring Pankaj Tripathi as brand ambassador, we wanted to reflect the everyday efforts people make for their loved ones while encouraging a more proactive approach to protecting their family’s health and financial well-being. The campaign underscores the importance of choosing coverage that genuinely supports families during uncertain times.”    Health insurance today is evolving beyond emergency financial support to become an important pillar of long-term healthcare and financial preparedness for families. Planning ahead through adequate health coverage can often help families navigate medical uncertainties more confidently while reducing financial strain during emergencies.   SBI General Insurance continues to offer customer-centric health insurance solutions designed to support individuals and families with comprehensive coverage and flexible benefits. Its recently launched Health Alpha plan offers customisable coverage options, cashless hospitalisation across an extensive hospital network, preventive healthcare benefits, coverage for modern treatments, and seamless claims assistance, helping customers choose protection suited to their evolving healthcare needs.   Below are the links for the video: YouTube: youtu.be/hJEl7oFQqTA?feature=shared LinkedIn:tinyurl.com/rbyrsvvn Instagram:www.instagram.com/reel/DYOijkjtFLy/?igsh=Zjd3cjkweW5ieTg4 Twitter: x.com/sbigeneral/status/2054080811524309221?s=46 Facebook:www.facebook.com/share/r/1H4XS4jStf/?mibextid=wwXIfr   About SBI General Insurance SBI General Insurance, one of the fastest-growing private general insurance firms, backed by the robust support of SBI, upholds a legacy of trust and security.
