TravClan Expands to Europe and Raises Capital from August One 

New Delhi, Jan 09: TravClan, a global B2B travel platform serving over 15,000 travel businesses, has announced its expansion into Europe with strategic capital from August One. The move is driven by increasing demand from international travel companies seeking scalable technology, reliable distribution, and operational infrastructure built for the complexities of the travel industry. The capital will be used to establish on-ground operations in Europe, launch its VOLT platform for European markets, and build local supplier partnerships.

Left - Arun Bagaria, Co-Founder and CEO and Right - Chirag Agarwal, Co-Founder and COO

The global B2B travel distribution ecosystem accounts for more than USD 500 billion in annual bookings. Despite this scale, a large part of the market continues to operate on fragmented systems, manual workflows, and spreadsheets, limiting efficiency, visibility, and margin control for independent travel businesses. TravClan addresses this gap through a unified technology and distribution platform designed for scale.

TravClan has established itself as a trusted operating layer for travel entrepreneurs across India, South East Asia and the Middle East, helping them simplify supply chains, improve margins, and scale operations. TravClan continues to see strong traction across its Hotels and Holidays businesses, which together contribute more than 80 percent of the company’s revenue.

As part of its international expansion, TravClan is deepening investment in VOLT, its API-first platform built for modern, high-volume travel businesses. VOLT functions as a unified connectivity layer across flights, hotels, holidays, and experiences, enabling travel companies to deliver consistent and personalized customer journeys while improving operational efficiency.

Commenting on the expansion, Chirag Agarwal, Co-Founder and COO, TravClan, said,

“Travel businesses in Europe face similar challenges we have solved across Asia – fragmented supply, manual operations, and thin margins. We are opening our API platform to European markets and building strong local supplier partnerships.”

Sameer Narula, Managing Director, August One, said,

“We back founders who use technology to elevate traditional industries and enable entire ecosystems. By connecting agents, suppliers, and on-ground services in a single platform, TravClan has simplified complex travel planning with speed, reliability, and operational excellence”

Arun Bagaria, Co-Founder and CEO, TravClan, added,

“The future of travel isn’t winner-takes-all OTA platforms. It’s millions of entrepreneurs powered by shared infrastructure. We’re using AI to make independent agencies more competitive than ever – giving them the same predictive pricing, personalized recommendations, and operational automation that only billion-dollar OTAs could afford before.”

TravClan has raised over USD 8 million to date and has been recognised as one of LinkedIn’s Top 20 Startups in India for two consecutive years. The company’s expansion into Europe reflects growing demand for a unified operating platform among international travel businesses.

Groww Mutual Fund Introduces Groww Small Cap Fund

New Delhi, Jan 09:  Groww Mutual Fund has announced the launch of the Groww Small Cap Fund, an open-ended equity scheme predominantly investing in small cap stocks. The New Fund Offer (NFO) will be open from January 08 to January 22, 2026. The scheme seeks to generate long-term capital appreciation by investing in high-quality, scalable small cap companies through a disciplined bottom-up investment approach, guided by Groww Mutual Fund’s QGaRP framework – Quality and Growth at a Reasonable Price. 

India’s economy is undergoing a broad-based transformation, with strengthening physical, financial, and technological capacity reshaping the opportunity set for businesses across the size spectrum. Rising infrastructure spending, deeper capital markets, improved access to formal credit, and population-scale digital platforms are reducing historical disadvantages faced by smaller companies. As a result, many small businesses today are better positioned to scale operations, access new markets, and compete more effectively.

SSHistorically, small caps have also demonstrated the potential to deliver higher long-term returns than large caps, driven by a relatively smaller base and greater headroom for growth. 

 Past performance may or may not be sustained in future and is not a guarantee of any future returns. The above performance does not in any manner indicate the performance of any individual scheme of the mutual fund. Please consult your financial advisor before investing.

Small caps further offer exposure to a wide and diverse set of niche, specialised, and emerging sectors that are underrepresented or absent in other segments. This breadth spans industries benefiting from structural trends as well as areas where growth is often driven by company-specific execution rather than macro cycles alone.

Despite this diversity, a large part of the small cap universe continues to receive meaningfully lower analyst coverage creating information gaps that can lead to opportunities for disciplined, research-led investors to identify quality businesses early in their growth journey.

Finally, after a year of relative underperformance, the small cap segment has seen moderation in valuations across pockets, even as fundamentals for many companies have continued to improve. This combination of improving fundamentals and more reasonable valuations has broadened the opportunity set for bottom-up stock selection.

^Based on Q2FY25 and Q2FY26 data. | *1 year returns as on Nov 25, 2025. | Please consult your financial advisor before investing.

Past performance may or may not be sustained in future and is not a guarantee of any future returns. The above performance does not in any manner indicate the performance of any individual scheme of the mutual fund. Please consult your financial advisor before investing.

Groww Small Cap Fund follows a true-to-label mandate, investing predominantly in small cap stocks, with zero large cap exposure. The Scheme is purely bottom-up in nature, avoiding macro-led or thematic calls, and focuses on identifying businesses with strong fundamentals, sustainable growth drivers, and reasonable valuations.

At the core of the investment process is Groww Mutual Fund’s QGaRP framework, which evaluates every investment across three key dimensions of business and management quality, potential for growth, and valuation discipline.

The Groww Small Cap Fund may be considered by investors seeking long-term capital appreciation through a disciplined, true-to-label small cap strategy. It may suit those with a multi-year investment horizon who are comfortable with higher interim volatility and wish to complement existing large and mid cap allocations with selective exposure to India’s small cap universe.

Scheme details

  • Scheme Type: An open-ended equity scheme predominantly investing in small cap stocks
  • Benchmark: Nifty Smallcap 250 Index – TRI
  • NFO Period: January 8 – January 22, 2026
  • Fund Manager: Mr. Anupam Tiwari
  • Minimum Investment: ₹500 and in multiples of Re. 1 thereafter

Invaluables Bengaluru launches ‘Recycle Resolutions’ to promote recyclability and dignity for the city’s waste pickers

Bengaluru, Jan 09: BBC Media Action has launched ‘Recycle Resolutions’, a New Year campaign under its ongoing Invaluables initiative, reminding Bengalureans that the best resolutions are the ones that already work. Building on proven habits from past Invaluables campaigns, it urges citizens to renew and continue three simple actions that improve recyclability and respect waste pickers’ dignity— turning tested habits into lasting pledges for 2026.

‘Recycle Resolutions’ taps into the New Year mood by reminding citizens that they don’t need new pledges when three existing habits already work—Wash the Dabba, Got Old Clothes, and Mark It Red, bringing them together under one simple, collective reminder. By framing these proven behaviours as renewed New Year promises, the campaign aims to keep change going well beyond the festive season, showing how small, consistent actions at home directly influence the safety and dignity of informal waste pickers, also known as Invaluable Recyclers. This reminder builds on the success from earlier initiatives under #Invaluables, demonstrating that these everyday habits are worth carrying forward. This includes:

  • Wash the Dabba: A simple act – washing take-away boxes before disposal – was adopted by 60% of those exposed to the campaign (impact evaluation research). Dry Waste Collection Centres (DWCCs) also reported visibly cleaner containers across the city.
  • Got Old Clothes?: The campaign encouraged Bengalureans to discard old clothes more responsibly by washing them and handing them over to waste pickers at nearby DWCCs. It helped collect 1.8 tonnes of garments across 16 centres in a month, nearly double the usual volume.
  • Mark It Red: The latest campaign urges the public to safely dispose of sanitary and diaper waste by wrapping it and marking the package with a red “X”. It saw 41% of exposed audience beginning to wrap sanitary and hazardous waste in paper and marking it with a red cross.

The positive results underscore why renewing such habits matters, and why Recycle Resolutions is positioned as a timely reminder to carry them forward.

Invaluables is an initiative of BBC Media Action under Saamuhika Shakti, a collective impact effort where 12 partners have joined forces to enable waste pickers to lead secure and dignified lives with greater agency.

The latest campaign has garnered strong support from leading influencers and prominent Bengalureans. Notable voices amplifying the campaign include city-based comedian @aiyyoshraddha, musician Vasu Dixit, actor Bhoomi Shetty, and plogging champion @PlogRaja. Influencers such as Shiva Rai, Pinky Preet, and Hema Gayathri, among many others, are actively spreading the message of ‘Recycle Resolutions’.

Musician Vasu Dixit, a long-term supporter of #Invaluables said, “Real change doesn’t need grand gestures, it’s in the small, daily acts. When we handle our waste responsibly, we make the work of our waste pickers safer and more dignified. ‘Recycle Resolutions’ is a reminder that these simple habits already work and that’s reason enough to keep them going.” 

Comedian Aiyyo Shraddha who has been associated with the campaign since 2021 added, “Most resolutions fizzle out by February. But these? They’re simple. Wash your dabba, send old clothes to dry waste centres, and help make waste pickers’ jobs safer and dignified. ‘Recycle Resolutions’ is a kind of promise to our environmental stewards. We must actually keep these promises!” 

Speaking about the launch, Soma Katiyar, Executive Creative Director, India, BBC Media Action said, “The New Year gives us a powerful behavioural nudge to ‘recycle’ these actions as resolutions—so they don’t fade as campaign noise but embed as everyday practice. Our creative insight was clear: people don’t need brand-new habits; just familiar ones amplified at the right cultural moment. That’s where real behaviour change happens—through simple, dignifying routines that quietly make the city safer for our Invaluable Recyclers.” 

Highlighting the broader significance, Varinder Kaur Gambhir, Country Director, India, BBC Media Action said, “Invaluables has always been about helping citizens see the people behind our waste system and act with care. This final phase brings together everything we have learned so far, backed by evidence and impact, and invites Bengalureans to carry these behaviours forward as a shared responsibility towards our waste pickers.” 

This week, Recycle Resolutions was also rolled out across outdoor platforms, including select bus shelters in prominent city areas and Namma Metro, ensuring visibility and reach among daily commuters. It will soon be released on digital platforms as well in several apartments in the city.

Ambulance drivers and owners play a vital role in the healthcare ecosystem. They are often the first point of contact during medical emergencies and act as a bridge between patients and hospitals.

Recognizing their contribution helps strengthen emergency preparedness and highlights the need for continued support and respect for their profession.

Speaking on the occasion, Sri S. V. Rajashekhar Babu, IPS, Commissioner of Police said,

BNW Developments Launches Homeownership Reward for Sales Employees in UAE

BNW Developments Redefines Employee Recognition in the UAE: Introduces Homeownership Reward Programme For Top Sales Employees

Dubai, UAE,  Jan 09:  In a landmark leadership initiative that sets a new benchmark for corporate culture in the UAE’s real estate sector, Ankur Aggarwal, Founder and Chairman of BNW Developments, has introduced a first-of-its-kind Homeownership Reward Programme, rewarding the company’s top-performing sales professionals with branded apartments at RAK Central, reinforcing BNW’s leadership philosophy. Under this unprecedented programme, the company has rewarded Akshay Gupta, Vice President – Sales; Ayush Pandey, Sales Director; and Karan Kohli, Sales Manager for their exceptional performance, consistency and long-term contribution to the company’s growth journey.

A home is not just a structure of walls and windows. It is where dreams begin, families grow, milestones are celebrated and life truly unfolds. While most developers reward performance through bonuses and short-term incentives, Ankur Aggarwal has redefined recognition by designing a long-term, asset-based reward model that turns high performers into homeowners, reflecting his belief that those who help build dreams deserve to live them too. 

The Homeownership Reward Programme has been conceptualised and designed by Ankur Aggarwal as part of BNW’s people-first leadership framework, where employee wellbeing, long-term loyalty and generational security are treated as strategic pillars of the company’s success. It is a life-changing gesture that goes beyond conventional recognition programs.

Ankur Aggarwal, Founder and Chairman of BNW Developments, said,

“At BNW, we have always believed that our people are our greatest investment. Projects can be replicated; markets can change, but culture defines who you really are. Gifting homes to our top performers is our way of saying that their stability, their families, and their futures matter to us just as much as balance sheets and sales figures. When your people grow with you, that is when a company truly becomes a legacy.”

Dr. Vivek Anand Oberoi, Co-Founder and Managing Director of BNW Developments, said,

“This initiative extends beyond recognition; it marks a meaningful, life-changing chapter. When you place house keys in someone’s hands, you are not just recognising numbers on a performance sheet, you are giving them security, dignity and a sense of belonging. For us, this is how leadership at BNW creates impact beyond the boardroom.”

Akshay Gupta, Assistant Vice President, Sales at BNW Developments, said,

“I am grateful to Mr. Ankur Aggarwal for believing in me and for giving me opportunities that have shaped my journey. I have been associated with Mr. Aggarwal since our brokerage days, and the biggest lesson I have learnt from him is to always believe in yourself, take bold steps and pursue your goals relentlessly. This moment reinforces the belief that with the right mentorship and mindset, nothing is impossible.”

Ayush Pandey, Sales Director at BNW Developments, said,

“This moment is emotional for me. The last three years at BNW have been life-changing, both professionally and personally. This organisation has given me opportunities I once only dreamed of. I was able to buy a home for my parents in India, and owning a home in the UAE was my next big dream, a dream that has now become a reality. I will always be grateful to BNW for this incredible journey.”

Karan Kohli, Sales Manager at BNW Developments, said,

“I am incredibly overwhelmed and thankful for this recognition. I never imagined a moment like this, and receiving my very first home ever makes it really personal and unforgettable. This milestone will stay with me forever.”

The recipients were selected based on merit, consistency and long-term contribution, reflecting BNW’s commitment to structured, policy-driven recognition.

With this milestone, BNW further strengthens its position as one of the most employee-centric developers in the region, raising the standard for what it truly means to care for people behind the brand.
