Kolkata 14th November,2025:-  On World Usability Day 2025, observed globally under the theme “Emerging Technologies and the Human Experience,” Mihup – India’s leading Voice AI company – spotlighted its vision of making technology human, inclusive and effortless for every Indian.

Founded in 2016, Mihup builds next-generation conversational AI that transforms how people and enterprises interact with technology. From in-car voice assistants to contact-center automation and conversational analytics, Mihup’s products are designed to make everyday interactions simpler, safer, and more intuitive.

“Voice is the most human interface there is,” said Tapan Barman, Co-founder and CEO, Mihup. “Our mission is to make that interface accessible to everyone – regardless of the language they speak, the accent they have or the device they use.”

The story of Mihup is rooted in inclusion. The company’s name – short for “May I Help You Please” – reflects its founding belief that technology should assist, not alienate. When Mihup was founded, most digital tools catered primarily to English-speaking urban users. Millions of Indians – particularly from Tier 2 and Tier 3 regions – were excluded simply because they couldn’t type or speak in a global accent. Mihup set out to change that by creating voice technology that understands India as it is spoken.

At the heart of Mihup’s innovation lies its phoneme-based speech recognition engine, capable of understanding multiple Indian languages, dialects, and mixed-lingual speech. Combined with Gen AI-driven contextual reasoning and a hybrid on-device and cloud architecture, it ensures accuracy, responsiveness, and privacy – even in low-connectivity environments.

Today, Mihup powers voice assistants across leading automotive brands and AI-driven analytics and agent assistance for BFSI enterprises. Its solutions help businesses audit 100% of customer interactions, improve compliance, enhance customer experience, and drive measurable business outcomes – all while keeping usability at the core. “For us, usability is not a feature – it’s a philosophy,” added Barman. “As technology becomes more complex, our job is to make it feel simpler, more human and more empowering. “As India embraces its digital decade, Mihup’s vision of “accessibility through innovation” reflects the true spirit of World Usability Day – ensuring that emerging technologies amplify human experience rather than complicate it.

“My mom always made Children’s Day special for me with a small gift, my favorite dish, or something handmade that showed her love. Those little gestures made me feel so happy and loved! It was one of the most exciting days of the year, no uniforms, colourful clothes, fun assemblies, games, and songs that made us feel truly celebrated. Even today, those memories bring a big smile to my face. This year, while shooting for Divya Prem: Pyaar Aur Rahasya Ki Kahani on Sun Neo, we plan to celebrate with the kids on set and relive those joyful moments together.”

“Children’s Day takes me back to my carefree childhood running barefoot in the rain, climbing guava trees with my cousins, and laughing endlessly in the village playground. Those days were full of innocence, mischief, and pure joy. Even today, I try to keep that child within me alive by enjoying little things like an ice cream treat or a sunset. This year, on the sets of Satyaa Sachee, I’m planning to bring nostalgic treats old-school toffees, chocolates, and snacks so that my co-actors and I can relive those beautiful childhood memories together.”

“Children’s Day was always one of the most fun and exciting days of the year! It was that one day when we actually loved going to school because there were no studies at all. We could sit wherever we wanted, play games, sing songs, and share snacks with friends. Teachers were extra sweet no scolding, no homework, just smiles all around! Those little joys made childhood so beautiful and carefree. Even today, those memories make me smile. This year, on the sets of Prathaon Ki Odhe Chunri: Beendani, we’re planning to celebrate by cutting a cake and reliving that childlike happiness together.”

Mumbai, November 14, 2025:- On World Diabetes Day 2025, the theme “Diabetes and Well-being,” with a special focus on “Diabetes and the Workplace,” brings overdue attention to the need for healthier and more supportive work environments. With India now home to one of the world’s largest populations of people living with diabetes, the condition has become a national health emergency — one that is hitting the working population the hardest.

Diabetes affects more than 100 million Indians, and the number continues to climb. Sedentary office routines, long hours, poor sleep, stress, and irregular meals are pushing younger and middle-aged adults into the high-risk zone at alarming rates. Early-onset diabetes is now increasingly common, leading to long-term complications such as heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, nerve damage, and vision loss. Without timely management, diabetes can silently erode an individual’s health, productivity, and overall quality of life. This year’s World Diabetes Day campaign calls on organizations to step up and take responsibility. Regular health screenings, access to nutritious food, flexible work timings, stress-relief programs, and simple changes like promoting short activity breaks can significantly reduce diabetes risk and help employees already living with the condition manage it better.

Dr. Mayur Mehta, Endocrinologist at Apex Group of Hospitals, underlined the need for workplace-driven awareness: “Diabetes management extends far beyond medicines. It’s a balance of daily movement, mental resilience, and mindful nutrition. When workplaces support employees with practical health initiatives, they empower them to lead productive, healthier lives. A positive work culture can prevent complications long before they start.”

To mark World Diabetes Day, Apex Group of Hospitals organized awareness drives, free check-ups, and counseling sessions for employees and the community. Participants received guidance on lifestyle habits, early detection, stress management, and mental health support — all crucial pillars of long-term diabetes care.

Apex Group of Hospitals is a leading healthcare provider in Mumbai, known for its advanced infrastructure, specialized departments, and expert medical team. For over 25 years, it has delivered world-class, affordable care while promoting preventive health. With 350+ beds and state-of-the-art facilities across Borivali, Kandivali, and Mulund, Apex Hospitals continue to set high standards in patient-centered, quality healthcare.

10 Lakes, 100,000 Lives, Nexus Select Trust’s  ‘Lakes of Happyness’ Makes Ripples Across India

India, 14th November, 2025: Nexus Select Trust, India’s largest retail real estate platform, has announced the successful rejuvenation and handover of its 10th lake under its flagship ESG initiative, “Lakes of Happyness.” The program, which aims to revive 15 lakes by FY2026, is dedicated to restoring India’s threatened urban and rural water bodies through sustainable, community-led practices.

Launched in 2022, the initiative has already revived 10 lakes across Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana, directly benefiting over 100,000 people across 100+ villages and communities. With the restoration and handover of Gurunath Cheruvu, a 21-acre lake in Miyapur, Hyderabad, the project has now achieved a significant milestone.

Dalip Sehgal, CEO, Nexus Select Trust, said:

“Water scarcity is not just an environmental challenge it’s a human one. When a lake revives, life revives. Through Lakes of Happyness, we’re restoring not just water sources but wellbeing for people, nature, and future generations.”

One of the key highlights of the initiative is its impact beyond the company’s business footprint. Several restored lakes are located far from Nexus malls—across drought-prone farmlands in Chalisgaon, temple-linked ecosystems in Chennai, and wildlife corridors in Bengaluru—where water is fundamental to community survival.

Working with renowned water conservationists Anand Malligavad (Lake Man of India) and Gunwant Sonawane, Nexus has adopted traditional, nature-based restoration methods—avoiding cement structures and opting instead for de-silting, deepening, native plantation, and natural catchment rebuilding.

The initiative has already created tangible, measurable outcomes:

• Groundwater levels have risen by up to 1.5x in drought-prone belts like Jalgaon and Chalisgaon.

• 20 dry wells have refilled, restoring agricultural activity across hundreds of acres post monsoon.

• Biodiversity has flourished, with the return of migratory birds and native species.

• Community migration has reduced, as families now have access to reliable drinking water year-round.

Jayen Naik, President Operations, Nexus Select Trust, added:

“Every lake we restore becomes the lifeline of its community—recharging groundwater, improving farmlands, inviting biodiversity, and reconnecting people with nature. These lakes hold more than water—they hold hope.”

With its 10th lake completed, Nexus Select Trust marks the halfway point toward its goal of reviving 15 lakes by FY2026, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability, community resilience, and environmental stewardship. The success of “Lakes of Happyness” demonstrates how purpose-driven corporate action can create ripples of change far beyond the balance sheet.

With the model specific features and an attachment-ready architecture — including provisions for front TPL, front PTO, and under-belly mower compatibility — broadening their functional range across multiple European applications without the introduction of new implements at the show.

Feature Usability and Advantages

Hydrostatic Transmission (HST): Offers seamless speed variation, superior manoeuvrability and effortless control, reducing operator fatigue and improving precision during loader operations, mulching, and mowing.

Cabin Comfort: The factory-fitted cabin provides enhanced operator protection against dust, cold and noise — ensuring longer, more comfortable working hours in varying weather conditions typical of European climates. It also improves visibility and ergonomics for municipal and vineyard operations.

Front Loader Options: The front loader and grabber-bucket combinations allow quick handling of materials such as soil, gravel, compost or waste, supporting municipal maintenance, landscaping and estate management.

Mid ROPS Design: The Mid-mounted ROPS offers safety and a low overall height, making it ideal for orchard, vineyard and greenhouse work where canopy clearance is limited.

Attachment-Ready Design (front PTO, front TPL, under-belly compatibility): Enables rapid conversion for snowblade or snow-blower use in winter, rotary broom or brush for street cleaning, and flail or mid-mount mowers for park and verge maintenance — features widely valued by municipalities, vineyards, golf courses, and small-holding contractors.

The product features are well-suited for the need of compact, versatile tractors in Southern and Central Europe, particularly for municipal contracting and horticultural sectors. The positive feedback from the visitors, distributors and channel partners reinforces VST’s strategy for a stronger European presence.

“Our participation at AGRITECHNICA 2025 reinforces VST’s commitment to delivering compact, reliable and sustainable mechanisation solutions for the global market.

India 14th November, 2025:- As India celebrates Children’s Day – a moment to honour childhood and spotlight the nation’s young potential – this year’s theme, “Investing in the Future,” underscores the critical role of early learning in shaping tomorrow’s citizens. On the occasion of Children’s Day, Cosmo Foundation — the philanthropic arm of Cosmo First Limited, reiterated its long-standing commitment to empowering rural children through strong foundational learning. With over fifteen years of sustained efforts in strengthening literacy and numeracy skills, the Foundation continues to shape brighter futures for thousands of young learners across rural Gujarat and Maharashtra.

Since its inception in 2009, the Foundation has been at the forefront of Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) – a priority now echoed in the National Education Policy (NEP 2020). The Foundational Literacy & Numeracy Centres, fondly known as Cosmo Gyan Vihar Kendra, focus on activity-based learning that combines play, storytelling, art, and group exercises to make education joyful, interactive, and effective. The approach aligns closely with national educational goals while fostering creativity, curiosity, and confidence among young learners.

At the heart of this model are the Balmitras – trained women educators from within the community who serve as mentors and change agents. They bridge the gap between school and home, improve attendance, and address holistic development – from academic progress to emotional well-being and hygiene awareness. 

Ms. Yamini Kumar Jaipuria, Managing Trustee, Cosmo Foundation & Whole-time Director, Cosmo First, shared, “Cosmo Foundation’s unwavering, long-term commitment to the children of rural Gujarat and Maharashtra serves as the eternal flame that lights up a nation’s future. While building an education foundation requires sustained effort, it results in the strongest, most resilient impact. We are strategically investing in the educated skilled human capital of our nation, ensuring every child received opportunity for quality learning with dignity. This deep-rooted, transformative investment is our solemn pledge to every child.”

Over the years, more than 24,000 children have benefited from the Foundation’s programmes. Students have shown measurable improvement in reading fluency, comprehension, numeracy, and soft skills. Teachers and principals report that classrooms have become more engaging and inclusive, ensuring that no child is left behind.

Mr. Girishbhai Prajapati, Principal, Primary School, Choranda (Vadodara), shared, “Our students eagerly await Cosmo Foundation’s sessions. Learning has become enjoyable and meaningful. The presence of Balmitras and activity-based methods has created stronger engagement and improved learning outcomes. We can clearly see the positive shift in our classrooms.”

In addition to academic learning, Cosmo Foundation conducts value-building sessions and awareness activities that nurture empathy, discipline, and gratitude – shaping both competence and character. Inclusivity remains central, with focused support for children from diverse social and economic backgrounds, including migrant and single-parent families.

As India advances towards the vision of Viksit Bharat, Cosmo Foundation believes that investing in a child’s foundation is investing in the nation’s future and progress. On this Children’s Day, Cosmo Foundation celebrates every child’s potential and renews its pledge to continue building strong foundations for stronger futures.
