New Delhi, 10th October 2023 Reliance Jewels, one of India’s most trusted jewellery brands, unveiled Swarn Banga, a resplendent jewellery collection inspired by Bengal’s poetic beauty and artistic heritage. The collection that captures the intricacy of the region’s terracotta temples, the serenity of Shanti Niketan, and the fervour of Durga Pujo is the 8th in a series of thematic jewellery collections inspired by different regions of India launched by Reliance Jewels.

Amidst a grand star-studded evening, Swarn Banga was launched by Bollywood star Karisma Kapoor, who unveiled the collection and walked the ramp as a showstopper.

Speaking at the launch, Mr. Sunil Nayak, CEO of Reliance Jewels, said, “Bengal, with its vibrant artistic legacy, holds a special place in India’s art and craft history. And this 8th collection in our series of jewellery inspired by different regions of India is a testament to our commitment to celebrating the rich culture and traditions of our nation. The Swarn Banga collection, with its timeless design, intricate workmanship, and grace, is sure to be adored by our customers for years to come.”

Over the years, with each collection, Reliance Jewels has taken its esteemed customers on a cultural voyage, transforming jewellery into works of art that mirror India’s dynamic history. The Swarn Banga collection continues this legacy by capturing the essence of Bengal’s culture and artistic heritage. These collections are not just jewellery; they are expressions of India’s history.

Ms. Karisma Kapoor, the guest of honour, said, “The diamond showstopper set I had the privilege of wearing is a true work of art. It beautifully weaves together the essence of West Bengal. With the festive season approaching, I wholeheartedly recommend the Swarn Banga collection to everyone seeking a touch of elegance and cultural richness. It is not just jewellery; it is a piece of Bengal’s soul and heritage that you can wear with pride. I am truly impressed by this collection, and I believe it makes for a perfect addition to our festive wardrobe.”

The Swarn Banga collection is the 8th in Reliance Jewels’ remarkable series, where each collection reflects traditions, architecture, and craftsmanship from India’s diverse regions. The Thanjavur collection, for instance, draws inspiration from Thanjavur, the erstwhile capital of the Chola Empire. Similarly, the Mahalaya collection showcases the splendour of Maharashtra, while the Rannkaar collection is inspired by the stark beauty of the Rann of Kutch.

In addition, Reliance Jewels’ Kaasyam collection sparkles with the grandeur of Banaras, and the Odisha-inspired Utkala collection reminds one of the vibrancies of the coastal region. And while the brand’s exquisite Atulyaa collection offers glimpses into Rajasthan’s royal past and the opulence of the Mughal era, its Apurvam collection depicts the architectural magnificence of Hampi.

The Swarn Banga collection is currently available at all Reliance Jewels stores.

10th October, 2023; Mumbai, India: Witnessing a groundbreaking partnership that combined entertainment, responsibility and compassion, India’s leading youth entertainment channel, MTV’s iconic youth reality show, MTV Roadies – Karm ya Kaand joined forces with the Maharashtra Highway Traffic Police for an innovative road safety campaign in Mumbai. In a significant move towards fostering road safety awareness, MTV Roadies provided 500 Roadies branded helmets, created by a not-for-profit organisation, Yashlok Foundation, to the Maharashtra Highway Traffic Police.

One97 Communications Limited that owns the brand Paytm, India’s leading payments and financial services company and the pioneer of QR and mobile payments, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Paytm Payments Services Limited, has become the first in the industry to enable merchants with Alternate ID (ALT ID) based Guest Checkout solution across networks. This allows customers to checkout as a guest without saving sensitive card details on an ecommerce/merchant website for a transaction.

The Guest Checkout solution cuts down the long process of signing up for an account on the merchant website by sharing additional information and makes purchases faster. To enable ALT ID transactions, Paytm has integrated with card networks to generate alternate ID for guest checkout transactions.

Guest checkout solution enhances cardholders safety in an online transaction and protects from potential data breaches. The solution creates an Alternate ID for customers, wherein he will enter his complete card details to process a transaction instead of entering account details and password for an occasional purchase. This solution eliminates the risk of data breach as until now these card details were being passed to subsequent entities in the transaction flow to authorize and process the transaction. Also, Paytm offers an easy integration to enable this service on merchants’ websites.

The solution meets RBI’s guidelines as the regulator had mandated that entities involved in card transaction processing cannot save sensitive card credentials for guest checkout transactions, and that the card number has to be replaced by an Alternate ID associated with card information, by October 31, 2023.

Paytm Payments Services Limited Spokesperson said, “As the first to go live with Alternate ID solution, we continue to innovate and bring merchants the best of payment solutions. With this, we are empowering cardholders’ security and allowing fast guest checkout for customers, making transactions more efficient. This eliminates core risks like misuse of sensitive card information and aligns with RBI’s guidelines to provide a secure transacting experience to our users. We continue to focus on compliance and safe payments for all.”

Ramakrishnan Gopalan, Head – Products and Services, India and South Asia, Visa said, “Visa’s ALT ID solution, in collaboration with Paytm, revolutionizes payment security by blending guest checkout convenience with robust security measures. This solution is in line with RBI guidelines and aligns with Visa’s objective of enhancing payment ecosystem security, safeguarding sensitive card data, and facilitating a user-friendly and compliant transaction experience. The implementation of ALT ID is a significant stride towards accelerating the growth of secure digital payments in India.”

Anubhav Gupta, Senior Vice President, South Asia, Mastercard, said, “Mastercard is glad to collaborate with Paytm for its Alternate ID-based guest checkout solution that will allow consumers to conclude transactions on e-commerce platforms without saving card details. Introducing and supporting innovative products and solutions that are compliant, user friendly, and enhance the safety and security of digital payments is an integral part of Mastercard’s commitment to its partners and cardholders.”

Mumbai, 10th October 2023: PayNearby, India’s largest branchless banking and digital network, announced that its meta-commerce platform – PayNearby Mall, has registered exceptionally low return rates, helping its partner brands optimise costs. The platform which enables easy availability of goods and services in an assisted mode at the last mile has generated a return rate of ~10% when the average rate typically ranges between 20-30%.

In the last six months, over ~25,000+ retailers have enthusiastically embraced the platform. Interestingly, when compared to the urban and metro areas, where e-commerce penetration is high, PayNearby Mall registered a 46% GTV in rural regions, closely tailed by semi-urban areas, with 45%. This shift in consumer behaviour suggests that rural India is increasingly embracing the e-commerce revolution and is as aspirational as its urban counterpart. The most sought-after categories include grocery at 35%, followed by mobile and accessories and cloths at 14% and 9% respectively.

In the e-commerce industry, returns frequently arise from prevalent issues such as impulsive purchases, inaccurate item selection, or unmet customer expectations. However, a substantial number of product returns can significantly impact the financial performance of e-commerce operations. Each returned item incurs expenses associated with processing, restocking, and potential damages, increasing operational costs and logistical complexities. It erodes the profit margins significantly. PayNearby Mall’s innovative assisted meta-commerce model, which blends the convenience of digital commerce with the personal touch of PayNearby retailers, allows partner brands to optimise the costs associated with processing returns.

In areas where e-commerce adoption is low, PayNearby Mall allows partners to bring their products at neighbourhood stores. Customers can walk into these nearby stores and with the help of the local retailer access products on an aggregated e-platform of 100+ partner sites, and shop easily for the products they need. The personalised approach of this unique model helps customers make the right decision and buy the right products, reducing the likelihood of returns due to impulsive buying or incorrect item selection. It results in enhanced cost efficiency for e-commerce players, preserving profit margins and contributing to their overall financial sustainability.

Speaking on the development, Anand Kumar Bajaj, Founder, MD & CEO, PayNearby, said, “E-commerce has transformed how people shop. But with it comes the challenge of returns. Studies show that 54% of buyers consider free returns as one of the biggest factors influencing their buying decisions. However, high return rates often impact the financials, customer satisfaction, and overall operational efficiency of businesses. PayNearby Mall’s low return rate underscores the effectiveness of our approach. On one hand, our meta-commerce model empowers rural consumers by bringing the products they want within their reach. On the other hand, with our retailers offering the human touch in helping customers make informed decisions, our e-commerce partners are seeing reduced returns rates, optimised costs and increased revenue.”

Two separate evaporators manage the fridge and freezer space separately and maintain optimal humidity level, leading to longer freshness and less wastage of food.

Optimal Fresh+

This feature ensures food stays fresh for twice as long. The Optimal Fresh+ drawer allows consumers to switch between 4 modes to store various types of foods. In the ‘Soft Freeze’ mode, it retains the freshness of delicate food items such as meat and fish two times longer than normal cooling, thereby conserving its natural flavour.
