A landmark moment as Bangalore sees its first Urus delivery — blending performance, prestige, and personal triumph.

Bangalore: In a city known for its startups, innovation, and relentless ambition, Bangalore has just witnessed a new kind of milestone — the delivery of its first-ever Lamborghini Urus, handed over to homegrown entrepreneur Anand Kumar Ashiya at the Lamborghini Bengaluru showroom.

The delivery marks not just a first for the brand in the city but also a deeply personal achievement for the buyer — a self-made professional who built his success from the ground up.

“This isn’t just about horsepower or speed. It’s about the years of effort, the failures, the risks, and the belief that one day I would make it,” said Mr. Anand moments after receiving the keys to the iconic Super SUV.

The Lamborghini Urus — the world’s first Super Sport Utility Vehicle — represents a fusion of Italian design and uncompromising performance. It is also one of the fastest-selling models in the brand’s history globally. The delivery in Bangalore underscores the growing appetite for performance-luxury vehicles among India’s rising entrepreneurial class.

This moment highlights the evolving profile of the Indian supercar buyer — younger, self-made, and driven by purpose as much as passion.

July 26, 2025: In a landmark move to strengthen India’s national security architecture, the National Cyber Security Research Council (NCSRC) has been officially launched to counter the rapidly evolving threats in cyberspace. With a broad and ambitious vision to safeguard the nation’s digital infrastructure, the Council will drive cutting-edge research, develop protective technologies, and foster strategic collaboration with state and central government agencies.

The formation of the NCSRC comes at a crucial time, as India—one of the most connected nations globally—faces growing and complex cyber threats across governmental, military, and civilian networks. The Council will work in close coordination with agencies to identify vulnerabilities, conduct threat assessments, and implement robust defense strategies.

Under the visionary leadership of Dr. E. Khaliraj, Director of the NCSRC, the Council has already made remarkable strides in building national awareness and capacity. Dr. Khaliraj, a veteran cybersecurity strategist and educator, has led the Council in executing over 150 awareness and social impact programs across India. He is widely regarded for his commitment to democratizing cybersecurity knowledge and his efforts in bringing cyber literacy to grassroots communities. A strong advocate for ethical hacking, youth engagement, and technological innovation, Dr. Khaliraj has been instrumental in establishing more than 300 Cyber Resource Centres across the country. His long-term vision is to transform India into a global hub for cyber excellence, research, and resilience.

As part of this nationwide mission, the Council has launched Hackathon X, India’s largest and most prestigious Capture the Flag (CTF) competition in partnership with various government stakeholders. Held from July 25–27 in Bengaluru, Hackathon X invites young cybersecurity enthusiasts aged 18–35 to demonstrate their skills, solve real-world security challenges, and contribute to India’s cyber resilience.

The competition offers cash prizes of ₹1,00,000, ₹50,000, and ₹25,000, and is open to students pursuing computer science, cybersecurity, or related fields. Registration is open at https://hackathonx.in.

“Cybersecurity is no longer a siloed concern—it is central to national security, scientific advancement, and our daily digital lives. The establishment of the National Cyber Security Research Council is a giant step toward protecting India’s digital future.” He went on to say, “With world becoming one place now the responsible leaned lot but look at Space security & cyber security closely in sync with national & financial security. With record digital transactions taking place in India data security will play a huge role going forward.”
— Dr. A. K. Anil Kumar, Director, ISRO

“The rising sophistication of cybercrime demands an equally strategic and technological counterforce. Hackathon X is not just a competition—it is a mission-critical platform to identify, empower and elevate India’s cybersecurity warriors.”
— Dr. Pranab Mohanty, IPS, Director General of Police, Cyber Command, Government of Karnataka

As India takes a bold step forward in cyber defense, the National Cyber Security Research Council and Hackathon X embody a united vision: to secure the nation’s digital frontier and inspire the next generation of cyber defenders. The event also had active participation from DR M N Thippesawmy Principal AIT, Sh S Mariswamy IPS, DR M Mahadeva & A R Krishnamurthy (both from PVP Trust) & Jayaram Shivanasadra Govindaiah Head NCSRC KN.

Hyderabad, July 26, 2025 — Dry Eye is no longer an age-related condition—it is now rampant among screen users, warned Dr. C. Jagadesh Reddy, Cornea, Cataract & Refractive Surgeon and Founder of Pristine Eye Hospitals.

With growing concern over excessive screen time and its impact on eye health, Pristine Eye Hospitals is soon to launch the city’s first dedicated Centre of Excellence for Dry Eye, a state-of-the-art facility designed to address what Dr. Reddy calls a “lifestyle epidemic.” The Centre will be formally inaugurated on July 30 by Mr. Jayesh Ranjan, Special Chief Secretary, Telangana. Dr Reddy disclosed while addressing a press conference on Saturday at Pristine Hospitals in Madhapur.

Dry Eye Disease (DED), once seen predominantly in the elderly, is now emerging as a widespread lifestyle disorder among tech professionals and teenagers due to excessive screen use, said Dr Reddy.

“We are no longer dealing with a simple eye issue—Dry Eye is now a digital-age health crisis,” warned Dr. C. Jagadesh Reddy.

Centre of Excellence for Dry is the first-of-its-kind facility in Hyderabad

Located in the IT Hub of the city near Rayadurgam Metro Station, opposite Raheja Mindspace, the new Centre of Excellence for Dry Eye is equipped with World-Class Diagnostics: Tear Film Analyzer, Meibography, LipiView® Imaging; Advanced Therapies: LipiFlow®, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), BlephEx™, MeiboFlow®, and Punctal Plugs; Personalized Eye Wellness Programs: For IT professionals, teenagers, and senior citizens and ‘Screen Smart’ Corporate Packages: Supporting workplace vision health.

Dr Reddy observed the condition as the Blink Crisis, which is putting Screenagers & Techies at Risk

Speaking on the occasion, Dr Reddy said that the recent studies show: 70% of IT professionals and 40% of urban teenagers report Dry Eye symptoms. 1 in 3 tech workers suffer from moderate to severe Dry Eye. Teenagers using screens for over 4 hours/day are twice as likely to develop DED

“From work to entertainment, education to social interaction—our lives revolve around various devices and screens,” Dr. Reddy said. “We’re blinking less, straining more, and ignoring the silent suffering of our eyes”. he added

Coinciding with the Centre’s inauguration, Pristine Vision Foundation, the hospital’s non-profit arm, is rolling out the “Blink Break” campaign—a city-wide awareness movement promoting digital eye health and early detection.

The campaign encourages the 20-20-20 Rule, according to which it is suggested that every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds. People can do the Dry Eye Self-Test (OSDI) via the Pristine website. The campaign creates the need for preventive screening before symptoms worsen

The Foundation will also extend screening and care to underserved communities through outreach camps and mobile clinics, aiming for a future where no one loses vision due to preventable conditions.

Dry Eye Disease is underdiagnosed, often self-treated with OTC drops, or completely ignored. If it is left untreated, it can lead to chronic discomfort, corneal damage, and infections.

The Common causes for dry according to the experts, are due to reduced blinking (up to 60%) while using screens, prolonged air-conditioned indoor environments and poor ergonomics, posture, and prolonged contact lens use

“Dry Eye isn’t just a medical condition anymore—it’s a modern lifestyle disorder. Techies and ‘screenagers alike must become more mindful,” emphasised Dr. Reddy. “Our Centre is just the beginning—our goal is to spark a larger shift toward eye wellness in a screen-dominated world. It is not about the screen time, but it is about screen mindfulness, he said.

Jaipur | July 26, 2025: – In an age where fashion often echoes itself and trends arrive faster than they settle, Pleyne offers an intentional pause. It is not here to compete for attention. It is here to create a presence.

Born in Jaipur yet global in gaze, Pleyne is menswear distilled to its quietest, most potent form—crafted for the man who does not need to announce himself, because his choices do that for him. Rooted in restraint and refined through detail, the brand celebrates a different kind of power: the kind that does not perform—it prevails.

“We’re here to refine, not disrupt,” says Chirag Sogani, a key force behind Pleyne. “To create garments that feel honest—well-fitted, well-crafted, and wholly yours.”

A Philosophy Woven into Fabric

Every Pleyne garment is built with a singular goal: to serve the man who knows exactly what he values. There are no seasonal theatrics, no performative silhouettes. Just timeless tailoring—fluid kurtas, unstructured jackets, softly tapered trousers—all rendered in consciously sourced fabrics, in tones that whisper, never shout.

Made in limited batches, each piece speaks to the rarity of true craft. Not as a gimmick, but as a reflection of the thoughtfulness behind every stitch. The finishes are subtle. The silhouettes linger between structure and ease. And the result is clothing that is not worn—it integrates.

This is fashion for men who do not follow cycles. They create cadence.

For the Curator of His Own Presence

The man who wears Pleyne is not defined by event or environment. He is equally at home in a boardroom in Mumbai or at an intimate dinner in Udaipur. A founder, builder, an aesthete—he does not chase attention, but attention follows.

He understands that real style begins where the noise ends.

Pleyne is not an aesthetic—it is a way of moving through the world. With awareness. With quiet confidence. With the clarity of knowing who you are and dressing accordingly.

A Studio, not a Store

Located in Jaipur, the Pleyne is a deliberate departure from retail. It invites reflection. A space where garments are not displayed—they are discovered. Textures are touched. Fits are refined. And every client is treated not as a consumer, but as a connoisseur.

Pleyne is not just what you wear—it is how you arrive.

Explore the full collection or book a private appointment at the Jaipur studio. You are not buying clothing. You are choosing your presence, designed with precision.
