The expansion marks a calibrated move by the company to broaden its advisory framework, its strategic entry into the Mutual Fund Advisory segment, positioning UNIVEST at the forefront of India’s next phase of disciplined, research-backed wealth creation.

The event brought together some of the most influential voices in India’s financial sector to deliberate on the future of wealth creation and the evolving mutual fund landscape.

Sponsored by HDFC Mutual Fund, presented by Mirae Asset, and co-powered by ICCL and NSDL, the summit convened policymakers, asset management leaders, market infrastructure institutions, and SEBI-registered research experts under one roof.

The evening commenced with a welcome address by Mr. Pranit Arora, Co-Founder & CEO, UNIVEST, who also extended a warm reception to Ms. Bansuri Swaraj, Member of Parliament, the Chief Guest of the summit.

The event featured distinguished industry leaders including Pankaj Makkar (Managing Director, BII); Yashpal Arora (Head of Research, Uniresearch); Sushant Majhi (CRO, ICCL); Harish Narayanan (CMO, HDFC AMC); Shrinivas Khanolkar (Head of Digital Business, Mirae Asset Mutual Fund); Ashu Madan (MD & Co-Head – Business Affiliates, JM Financial); Saurabh Arora (National Digital Head, HDFC MF) and Sameer Patil (CBO, NSDL) among others.

MSSI Delhi Chapter Celebrates India MS Day, Spotlighting the People Behind Multiple Sclerosis

New Delhi, 23 Feb:  The Delhi Chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of India (MSSI) marked India MS Day with a celebration at Dilli Haat, INA, bringing together people living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), caregivers, families and the MS community. The event was centred on the theme ‘Celebrating the person behind Multiple Sclerosis,’ shifting the focus from the disease to the lived experiences, resilience and aspirations of individuals navigating life with MS.  

Accessibility remained a key priority throughout the event. The venue was wheelchair-friendly and equipped to support the mobility needs of attendees. The event created a warm, inclusive space allowing participants to momentarily step beyond the challenges of the condition. The programme featured interactive and community engagement activities, cultural performances, patient storytelling sessions along with music and surprise elements designed to foster camaraderie and positivity. The India MS Day event closely aligned with the “Walk In My Shoes” campaign, a joint initiative with Roche and MSSI India launched in 2025, which was established to put empathy front and centre in addressing the often unseen and unspoken struggles faced by individuals living with MS. 

Beyond celebration, the event also served as a platform to deepen public understanding of Multiple Sclerosis, a chronic autoimmune condition affecting the central nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord. People living with MS often experience symptoms such as fatigue, vision problems, cognitive changes, numbness, balance difficulties and speech challenges, many of which are invisible to others. This invisibility can contribute to delays in recognition and diagnosis.  

Speaking on the occasion of India MS Day ’26, Bipasha Gupta, Chairperson MSSI – Delhi, “Multiple Sclerosis may be called both a visible and invisible illness, but the strength, determination, and spirit of those living with it are deeply visible. MSSI Delhi today celebrated India MS day 2026 at the Dilli Haat INA with around 100 MS patients and caregivers. Through this celebration, we aimed to create a space where individuals felt freedom of movement, seen, heard and supported. For many people, the journey to diagnosis and effective care is marked by uncertainty and misunderstanding. Building awareness, empathy and community support can make that journey less isolating and help people access care earlier. We want to place people and not disease at the centre of this narrative- while MS may shape lives, it does not define them.” 

Meenakshi Bhujwala, Hon. Treasurer of MSSI Delhi Chapter, commented, “For the last 40 years, MSSI has continued to spread awareness and assist MS patients with medical appointments, counselling sessions, amenities, regular caregiver assistance and physiotherapy; the latter is supported by a team of 15-16 dedicated physiotherapists in Delhi alone. As we celebrated India MS Day today, we have ensured the venue at Dilli Haat was made completely accessible and in line with MS patients’ needs. Today’s celebration was a tribute to every individual living with MS – a day to honor their strength, let them feel truly seen, and build a community that stands with them.” 

MS remains under-recognized in several parts of India, often due to low awareness and the subtle nature of early symptoms. The India MS Day event served as a reminder that increased visibility, informed conversations and timely diagnosis can significantly improve long-term outcomes and quality of life for those living with the condition.

Yellow Capital Launches TradePoint to Streamline Token Distribution for Web3 Projects

LONDON – Feb 23:: Yellow Capital, a leading market-making firm with a venture arm focused on supporting Web3 projects, today announced the launch of TradePoint, a proprietary platform for token distribution, CEX visibility, and algorithmic liquidation.

The platform addresses persistent challenges faced by projects for token distribution through unlocks, airdrops, or treasury sales. Manual selling can trigger sharp price declines, while working with traditional market makers may require giving up custody and accepting opaque processes. These approaches frequently result in wider spreads and damaged market confidence.

TradePoint provides an alternative through programmatic distribution connected directly to trading algorithms. The platform monitors real-time market conditions and releases tokens only when sufficient buying activity is present. This non-custodial approach allows projects to maintain control of their assets while executing distributions that align with natural market demand. 

The TradePoint platform provides full execution visibility and automated settlement infrastructure, enabling projects to track every token movement in real time. It replaces manual selling with algorithmic liquidation that responds to live market conditions, distributing tokens efficiently to minimize price impact.

“We built TradePoint because the existing options for token distribution were fundamentally broken,” said Diego Martin, CEO of Yellow Capital. “Projects need no more choosing between crashing their own market or handing over custody to opaque intermediaries. TradePoint gives them a third option – an algorithmic distribution that works with market conditions. The vision is to empower projects with the infrastructure they need to manage token supply efficiently.”

This launch is part of Yellow Capital’s broader offering to support Web3 projects across their full lifecycle. The firm provides liquidity solutions across more than 140 centralized exchanges, combining market-making services with treasury management and strategic advisory. TradePoint completes this offering by addressing the final critical challenge, managing token supply during distribution events.
