Dec 26:- As Indian families continue to become increasingly mobile and nuclear, 2025 emerged as a pivotal year for organised eldercare, revealing a clear shift in what ageing parents need and what families are often unable to provide from a distance. For Anvayaa, one of India’s leading age-tech eldercare platforms, the year underscored a growing move away from episodic, emergency-led care towards continuous, relationship-based support that blends medical assistance with everyday companionship and emotional reassurance.

Over the course of the year, Anvayaa supported more than 85,000 active senior citizens on its platform, marking a 12X growth from its subscriber base, driven largely by rising adoption of companionship services, dementia care, emergency assistance and accompanied medical support. Of this growth, approximately 65–70 % was driven by metros and Tier-1 cities, while the remaining adoption came from Tier-2 and Tier-3 geographies, highlighting the expanding relevance of organised eldercare beyond India’s largest urban centres.

The nature of eldercare requests also evolved significantly through the year. While metros such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad continued to see strong demand for companionship and cognitive care, recording utilisation levels of up to 85%, Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities including Vizag, Pune, Indore, Chandigarh, and Coimbatore showed growing preference for structured home nursing and skilled caregiver services. Dementia care emerged as a particularly strong need in urban centres, with metro cities alone accounting for more than two-third of all dementia care enrollments nationwide. During the year, Anvayaa was also granted its second Patent for its “AI Enabled Method For Providing Personalised Cognitive Therapy & Dementia Care.”

Across geographies, families increasingly sought reliable presence for their parents, someone to accompany them to doctor visits, manage recovery at home, or simply spend time with them highlighting a shift in caregiving expectations.

Technology played a critical enabling role in strengthening response and safety during the year. Anvayaa’s patented Remote Patient Monitoring and emergency response system helped achieve an average SOS response time of under three minutes, enabling proactive intervention in over 400 critical incidents triggered by falls, abnormal vitals, or emergency alerts. Through deeper API integrations across ambulance networks, telemedicine providers, hospitals, and healthcare partners, the platform continued to offer families a single coordinated system for managing medical, emergency, and caregiving needs.

Reflecting on the year, Anvayaa’s leadership noted that eldercare in India is entering a more mature phase. Speaking on this, Mr. Prashanth Reddy, Founder & Managing Director, Anvayaa, said,

 “What 2025 made very clear is that eldercare is no longer just about emergencies or medical tasks, it is about continuity, accountability, and being present when families cannot be. We saw adult children increasingly outsource presence, not responsibility. Companionship, cognitive engagement, and proactive monitoring became as important as clinical care. Our focus has been to combine technology with empathy so that elders feel supported every single day, not only in moments of crisis.”

The year also marked a significant milestone for Anvayaa as it completed 10 years of organised eldercare operations in Hyderabad, one of its earliest and most important markets. As part of this decade-long journey in the city, Anvayaa strengthened Mission Abhay, a Hyderabad-focused initiative aimed at enhancing senior safety through faster emergency response, coordinated on-ground support, and proactive monitoring, reinforcing the city’s role as a cornerstone in Anvayaa’s care ecosystem.

Having steadily expanded its on-ground care teams, clinical specialists, and concierge support to nearly 200 employees nationwide, Anvayaa continues to maintain one of the lowest attrition rates in the sector, a critical factor in ensuring continuity and trust in eldercare delivery.

As the company looks ahead to 2026, several milestones are expected to further strengthen its ecosystem and industry impact. Leading insurance companies are set to launch products that include eldercare as a value-added service with Anvayaa playing a key role in care delivery. Anvayaa Nishcihnt, the company’s corporate eldercare program, is poised to touch nearly 3 lakh lives, signalling a shift in how organisations approach employee benefits and parental care support. Additionally, Project Ratan, an initiative focused on women and elderly safety, is scheduled to go live in Q2 2026. Through the Anvayaa Foundation, the company will also actively work on skill development and certification programs for caretakers and home healthcare workers, addressing a critical gap in the eldercare ecosystem.

As India’s eldercare landscape evolves, the lessons of 2025 point to a simple truth: ageing with dignity increasingly depends on systems that combine human presence with thoughtful, responsive technology.

New Delhi, Dec 26:  IndieSemic Private Limited, an India-based semiconductor design company, and Prizor Viztech Limited, a security and surveillance solutions provider, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the development, validation and commercial deployment of ISC-S2-PZ, a CCTV-specific System-on-Chip (SoC) designed by IndieSemic. The collaboration aims to strengthen India’s indigenous semiconductor ecosystem for the security and surveillance sector. The scope of the MoU includes joint testing, field trials, validation support and market deployment of the ISC-S2-PZ chipset through Prizor’s manufacturing and supply network.

“We are pleased to partner with Prizor to take an indigenously designed CCTV-specific SoC from development to large-scale commercial deployment. The ISC-S2-PZ has been developed to address the requirements of the security and surveillance industry, including performance, security and system integration. This collaboration provides a clear pathway for validation, field deployment and volume adoption of a domestically designed chip, while also strengthening India’s semiconductor design capabilities and reducing reliance on imported solutions.”

The partnership also enables Prizor to move towards deeper technology integration by incorporating a domestically designed SoC into its CCTV product portfolio, supporting long-term supply continuity and localisation goals.

Mitali Goswami, Managing Director, Prizor Viztech Limited, said,

“This partnership marks a strategic milestone for Prizor. By validating and bringing IndieSemic’s indigenous ISCS2-PZ chipset to market, we are aligning cutting-edge semiconductor design with our extensive surveillance manufacturing capabilities. The ISC-S2-PZ has been architected for high-performance video analytics, data security and next-generation AI-enabled CCTV features, which fit perfectly with our future product roadmap.

The MoU is expected to enable both companies to work closely on the localisation of critical semiconductor components for the surveillance sector. The partnership supports the development of an end-to-end domestic value chain covering chip design, validation, manufacturing integration and market deployment, with a focus on long-term scalability and supply assurance.

India,  Dec 26:- In a historic first for India’s legal education landscape, Geetali Gupta from Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan, has secured All India Rank 1 in the Common Law Admission Test 2026, becoming the first girl in 5 years to top the national law entrance examination. She has also set an all-time national record by scoring 112.75 out of 120, the highest marks ever recorded in the history of the CLAT exam, translating to nearly 94 per cent.

While female participation in CLAT has increased steadily over the years, with girls forming a significant proportion of applicants, the top rank has remained elusive for women, particularly at the AIR 1 level. Geetali’s success, therefore, carries wider significance  marking a breakthrough for gender representation in elite legal education.

A student of Toprankers LegalEdge’s Classroom Contact Program, Geetali was prepared exclusively through the institute’s classroom-based ecosystem, following a structured and mentor-led approach to preparation.

Speaking about her journey, Geetali said, “I am a bona fide Classroom Contact Program Student of Toprankers LegalEdge & I am proud of it. I prepared for CLAT exclusively through LegalEdge’s classroom programme. Harsh Sir, Utkarsh Sir, Saurabh Sir, Suyukti Ma’am, and Sukanya Ma’am’s guidance shaped my entire preparation. I am thankful to my parents, brother & the entire LegalEdge family for guiding and helping me to achieve this fleet.

Her parents highlighted the role of a strong academic support system, especially for students preparing outside metropolitan centres. Her mother, Bharti Gupta, said, “Geetali prepared for CLAT through LegalEdge’s Classroom Contact Program. We exclusively credit the Toprankers LegalEdge mentors & teachers for her outstanding success.”

Her father, Mr. Jagdeep Gupta, added, “Geetali prepared for CLAT exclusively through Toprankers LegalEdge’s Classroom contact Program. We sincerely thank LegalEdge mentors, especially Harsh Sir, for their success. They have a great ecosystem for students and CLAT preparations.”

Commenting on the result, Harsh Gagrani, Co-founder and Chief Academic Officer of Toprankers LegalEdge, said, “This result validates our academic process. For us, AIR 1 is as important as the last student who worked hard to improve their rank. We have always prioritised right guidance and hard work, and we will continue to do so in the future.”

Education observers note that Geetali’s achievement reflects a broader shift underway in competitive exam preparation, particularly for girls from tier-2, tier-3, and tier-4 cities, where access to structured mentoring and classroom learning can play a decisive role.

CLAT is one of India’s most competitive entrance examinations, serving as the gateway to the country’s premier National Law Universities  Every year, tens of thousands of aspirants compete for a limited number of seats, making a top rank statistically rare. For Geetali Gupta, the first girl in 15 years to top CLAT, and the highest score ever achieved in the exam’s history  a moment that is likely to inspire a new generation of law aspirants across India.
