<title>THE INVISIBLE FIGHT: WHEN A PARENT&amp;apos;S PRIDE HURTS A CHILD : BY KARISHMA</title>

<description><![CDATA[                                          

There is a huge
difference between fighting for a child and fighting over a child.

Every year,
thousands of children get caught in the middle of a brutal legal war. On one
side, you have a steady parent trying to keep the child&#039;s life safe and calm.
On the other side, you have a parent dragging the child into the court, using
the legal system to aggressively demand their “rights”.

But let&#039;s be honest
about something, true love doesn&#039;t need a judge to force it. When a parent uses
the court like a weapon, it&#039;s about their ego and pride, not their heart. 

If they truly cared
about the child&#039;s feelings, they wouldn&#039;t need a court order to prove it.

The System’s
Blind spot: Law vs. Emotion 

The biggest
challenge during legal litigation is that the system is fundamentally flawed.
The law makers created rules based on cold structures, completely missing the
emotional reality of a family.

●      No room for feelings: Courts operate on paper work, merit, technical laws, and
financial standings. They do not and often cannot measure emotional value, a
mothers silent tears, or a child unspoken fears.

●      The Surface Level Justice: A Parent who has been absent for years walks into the
court with lawyer and financial documents and our system treats them as equal
contender, ignoring the years of abandonment. The system counts the money in a
bank account but fails to count the days of daily care and emotional presence.

 

Spotting the
difference whether “Its love or ego”

How do you
know if a parent is acting out of love or out of pride? 

It is simple: 

Love observes, understands, questions ‘How will this case affect my child?
Are they happy? Are they safe?’ Love is willing to step back if it means the
child gets some peace.

Ego asks: ‘How do I win the case? How can I prove the other parent wrong?
What do I do to get the grip and control?’

To an ego driven
parent, the child is not a human being with feelings. The child is a trophy to
win or a tool to punish the other parent.

When a parent
drags a child to court just because they have the ‘legal right’ to do so, we
often miss the real battlefield: 

1.      
The Child Sees Everything,
(the silent witness): Adults think children don&#039;t
understand court papers or legal games. But children see everything. They are
the ultimate witness to harassment, sleepless nights and the truth. They notice
who shows up every single day and who only shows up when a lawyer tells them
to.

 They notice when a parent uses them to spy or
pass angry messages. They see through the fake promises. A child&#039;s heart
remembers who actually protected them and who caused the stress.

2.      
The
Silent Burden of the Primary Caregiver: In our society, a primary caregiver, especially a mother is
unfairly scrutinized and judged for doing everything alone. The ego- driven
parent will struggle into ‘neglect’, completely ignoring the reality of
managing a household, protecting the child&#039;s daily peace, and carrying the
entire mental and financial load single handedly. True parenting is seen in the
quiet , daily sacrifices to keep the child safe from a toxic environment, not in
the loud accusations of someone who only shows up to disrupt that peace.

 

3.      
The
Myth of Joint Cooperation: Courtrooms
often push for ‘joint decisions’, but to an ego-driven parent, joint custody is
just an open door to cause delays. They use legal loopholes to delay school
admissions, hold back medical signatures, and disrupt the child’s routine just
to keep a toxic grip on the child’s peace.

 

The Destruction
of Future Relationships 

This
prolonged legal warfare does more than just exhaust the child’s today also it
ruins their tomorrow. 

A child growing up
seeing the parent use court orders as weapons, their faith in the relationship
is shattered. They grow up carrying a deep negative impact regarding commitment
and trust.

What the
western countries do in these cases? 

In western
countries, the system puts a massive emphasis on psychological evaluation,
child support enforcement, and moving the case quickly and focuses heavily on
the child’s mental health so the child’s life isn’t frozen. But here, long
court battles force children to live in a ‘survival mode’ for years, which
damages how they view relationships later in life.

The Judgmental
Society: 

The trauma doesn’t
stay inside the courtroom, society brings it right to the child’s doorstep. We
live in a society that needs to desperately understand that marriage is not
everything, but a child’s peace is.

People look at a
single mother or a child from a broken home and ask pathetic, insensitive and
toxic questions. Society must change its thought process and stop this loop of
interrogation. A child’s wellbeing their personal will and what they want for
their own safety should always s ]]></description>

<title>The Dangerous Belief System Behind India’s Recurring Project Delays</title>
<link>https://www.nationrepubliq.com/the-dangerous-belief-system-behind-indias-recurring-project-delays</link>
<guid>https://www.nationrepubliq.com/the-dangerous-belief-system-behind-indias-recurring-project-delays</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ India is entering
another large capex cycle. Across manufacturing, infrastructure, healthcare,
education, logistics, real estate, energy and process industries, organisations
are committing thousands of crores to new plants, facilities, expansions and development
projects. These projects are not just engineering or construction assignments.
They are tied to revenue plans, capacity creation, market entry, financing
assumptions and competitive positioning. Delays are no longer only a project
problem

When such projects get
delayed, the loss is much larger than the visible cost overrun. Revenue starts
late, capital remains blocked for longer, market opportunities are missed, and
management bandwidth stays trapped in execution issues. Contractors, suppliers,
consultants and internal teams remain engaged beyond the planned period.
Equipment, manpower and decision-making capacity that should have moved to the
next opportunity remain tied to an unfinished project.

In large capital
projects, delay is not merely a schedule problem. It is a business problem.

Why
large projects are difficult to execute

A large capital project
is not executed by one organisation. It is a temporary system where the owner,
consultants, equipment suppliers, contractors, statutory authorities, operating
teams and multiple specialist agencies have to come together for a limited
period and work toward one common goal.

But they are not one
organisation. Each participant has its own commercial priorities, capacity
constraints and business pressures. An equipment supplier may accept an order
for one project, but the same supplier may also have dozens of other orders to
deliver. Its business objective is to use capacity well, protect margins and
keep multiple customers satisfied. A contractor may be working across several
sites, trying to maximise billing, maintain cash flow and keep its workforce
productive.

These are not wrong
intentions. They are normal business realities. The difficulty begins when the
project owner assumes that all these independent interests can be aligned
simply through more dates, tighter follow-up and stronger pressure.

The
usual response: more dates, more tracking, more pressure

Most large projects are
managed through a familiar method. The project is broken into detailed activities.
Dates are assigned to each activity. These dates are passed on to contractors,
suppliers and internal teams. Once execution begins, every missed date creates
a new round of review, explanation, revised commitment, escalation and
follow-up.

Over time, the project
environment becomes increasingly busy. More dashboards are created. More
trackers are updated. More meetings are held. More software is introduced.
Today, even AI is expected to help synchronise complex execution environments.

But if the underlying
execution logic is flawed, better visibility only shows the delay more clearly.
It does not prevent the delay from being created.

This is why
spreadsheets continue to survive in project environments despite large
investments in project management software. A spreadsheet is not sophisticated,
but it is easy to change. When plans keep shifting, commitments keep getting
revised and dependencies keep breaking, the tool that can be changed fastest
often becomes the most practical tool.

This should make leadership
reflect. If the plan requires constant rewriting, is the real issue the tool,
or the way execution is being structured?

The
belief behind many project delays

The deeper issue is a
belief issue. Most large capital projects are driven, consciously or
unconsciously, by the assumption that if we start more work, push harder, track
tighter and keep everyone busy, the project will finish faster.

This belief is rarely
stated openly, but it shapes execution behaviour every day. Starting more
fronts is seen as progress. A crowded site is seen as momentum. High manpower
deployment is treated as acceleration. Detailed activity tracking is treated as
control. When delays appear, the usual response is to add more reviews, more
follow-ups, more dashboards and more pressure.

But projects do not
finish because many things have started. They finish when the right things are
completed in the right sequence.

When the system is
designed around starting more and keeping everyone busy, it creates a large
volume of unfinished work. Civil work starts in several areas, but few areas
become fully ready for the next agency. Installation begins, but connected
services, access or utilities are not ready. Materials arrive, but drawings or
approvals are pending. Contractors show progress, but handovers do not happen
cleanly.

From a distance, the
project looks active. In reality, the flow toward completion remains weak.

Conflict
1: contractors need billing, projects need handovers

The first major
conflict appears at the contractor level. Con ]]></description>

and speaks volumes about her growing global appeal.”

<description><![CDATA[ 22nd May, 2026;
Bengaluru, India : Luxury jewellery brand VEDA has unveiled a
first-of-its-kind mobile branding installation to spotlight its Old Gold
Exchange Program, turning heads across Bengaluru with a powerful visual
statement on evolving gold-buying behaviour.

The moving installation
- designed as a giant transparent showcase overflowing with old gold jewellery
- carries a bold message:

“Modi ji said don’t buy
new gold. So we listened.”

The campaign creatively
taps into the current market sentiment around rising gold prices and increasing
consumer preference for value-driven jewellery purchases. Through the
initiative, VEDA encourages customers to exchange their unused or old gold
jewellery for fresh designs, without the burden of making entirely new gold
purchases.

The installation
reflects the emotional and financial reality of Indian households, where gold
is both an investment and a legacy asset. By reimagining old jewellery into
contemporary pieces, VEDA aims to make luxury more accessible while promoting
smarter consumption.

Speaking about the
campaign, Nikita Prasad, Co-founder At GIVA &amp; Veda, shared:

“Indian families
already own immense value in the form of old gold lying unused in lockers.
Instead of pushing customers toward fresh purchases during volatile gold
prices, we wanted to encourage a more thoughtful and practical approach -
exchange, upgrade, and reinvent.”

The visually immersive
van has already started drawing attention on city streets, with passersby
stopping to photograph and interact with the installation. The activation is
also expected to create strong traction across social media due to its
unconventional storytelling and culturally relevant messaging.

VEDA’s Old Gold
Exchange Program allows customers to:

●       
Exchange old gold jewellery at market value

●       
Upgrade into newer contemporary designs

●       
Reduce making financial strain during high
gold-rate periods

●       
Give sentimental jewellery a modern
transformation

The campaign aligns
with VEDA’s larger vision of building a modern Indian jewellery brand rooted in
cultural relevance, transparency, and evolving consumer behaviour.

About
VEDA

VEDA is a contemporary
jewellery brand offering silver, gold, and lab-grown diamond jewellery with a
focus on elevated design, modern storytelling, and meaningful craftsmanship.
Founded from a legacy jewellery background, VEDA blends tradition with contemporary
luxury for the new-age Indian consumer. ]]></description>

<link>https://www.nationrepubliq.com/how-drivn-is-building-commercial-ev-fleet-solutions-in-india-through-financing-and-partnerships</link>
<guid>https://www.nationrepubliq.com/how-drivn-is-building-commercial-ev-fleet-solutions-in-india-through-financing-and-partnerships</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Drivn is enabling commercial EV fleet
solutions in India by combining innovative financing models with strategic
partnerships, making it easier for logistics and transport operators to adopt
electric buses and trucks. With high upfront costs and long operating cycles
limiting large-scale adoption, leasing-led financing and collaborations are
helping scale Commercial EV fleet solutions efficiently and sustainably.

How Drivn’s Financing Partnership
Reflects a Larger Industry Shift

Drivn’s financing partnership with Nomura
represents a significant shift in India’s commercial EV ecosystem. The company
secured financing commitments of up to USD 80 million to support the deployment
of electric buses and trucks across logistics and inter-city transport
segments.

This partnership demonstrates how
institutional investors are increasingly viewing commercial EV infrastructure
and leasing as a long-term growth opportunity. Large-scale financing agreements
like this help reduce risk for operators while building confidence in EV
adoption across heavy commercial fleets. For key
players in EV fleet solutions in India, this approach is setting a new
benchmark for sustainable, scalable fleet electrification.

Why Drivn’s Ecosystem Partnerships Are
Driving Commercial EV Fleet Solutions in India

While financing accelerates adoption,
operational partnerships ensure electric fleets can scale efficiently.
Commercial EV deployment depends on coordination between manufacturers, leasing
companies, operators, charging providers, and logistics networks.

Financing can make vehicle acquisition
easier, but partnerships across the value chain ensure vehicles are deployed,
managed, and operated effectively. Drivn has formalised several partnerships
across the commercial EV ecosystem, reflecting how collaboration is central to
the future of EV fleet solutions in India.

Key Partnerships Announced by Drivn
Transition Pvt Ltd


 Partnership with Fresh Bus for the leasing of 150 electric
     buses 
 Partnership with Enviiiro Wheels Mobility for the leasing of 80
     electric trucks 
 Partnership with Montra Electric for the procurement of 5,000
     electric trucks 
 Partnership with Zingbus for the leasing of 50 electric
     buses 
 Partnership with Azad India Mobility Limited for the
     procurement of 500 electric buses 
 Partnership with SwitchLabs for the leasing of 50 electric
     heavy-duty trucks 


These partnerships span inter-city mobility
and logistics, showing how EV deployment is moving towards integrated ecosystem
models rather than isolated vehicle sales.

How Financing Supports Commercial EV
Fleet Solutions in India

Financing is key to commercial EV adoption,
helping operators manage high upfront costs and long operating cycles. Drivn
combines institutional financing with leasing, enabling the adoption of
electric buses and trucks without full capital outlay while making commercial EV fleet solutions more
scalable and accessible.

Impact of Financing Partnerships on
Commercial EV Adoption

What This
Means for the Future of EV Fleet Solutions in India

India’s commercial EV sector is moving from
pilot-stage projects to long-term deployment strategies. Financing partnerships
and ecosystem collaborations are becoming as important as vehicle manufacturing
itself.

Drivn’s combination of institutional
financing and operational partnerships positions it to support scalable and
sustainable commercial EV deployment, reflecting how integrated approaches are
shaping the next phase of Commercial EV fleet solutions in India.

Summary

Commercial EV adoption in India will
increasingly depend on two things: access to financing and ecosystem
collaboration. Drivn’s financing partnership with Nomura, along with its
operational partnerships across buses and heavy-duty trucks, highlights how
integrated leasing and collaborative deployment models are shaping the future
of Commercial EV fleet solutions in India.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is financing important for EV fleet
solutions in India?

is a Companion of Peace and The Role of Billionaires in Spreading World Peace
and Justice.

The
conclave also witnessed the signing of an MoU between the Billionaires for
Peace Conclave and the Sood Charity Foundation, with actor and philanthropist
Sonu Sood extending support towards the movement’s larger vision of peace,
humanitarian work and social impact initiatives.

Speaking
at the conclave, actor and philanthropist Sonu Sood said,
“I think it’s an amazing platform. The people here are the best in the world.
They are winners and achievers. And when they come to this platform, it feels
amazing that there are like-minded people who are there to help society.”

Nobel
Laureate, Mohan Munasinghe added, “The world today is
facing deeply interconnected challenges including climate stress, inequality,
resource scarcity and conflict. Addressing these issues requires collaboration
across governments, businesses and civil society.”

Additionally,
the conclave also honoured several distinguished personalities through the I Am

<description><![CDATA[  Showcasing premium kitchen
living with Liebherr’s Fully Integrated Refrigerators

Lucknow, May 22, 2026 : Liebherr Appliances India, the subsidiary of
the globally renowned €14.6 billion Liebherr Group, strengthened its presence
in Uttar Pradesh with the inauguration of a dedicated Fully Integrated
Experience Zone at Aarad Interiors in Lucknow. The newly launched experience
space showcases all nine Liebherr Fully Integrated Refrigerator models,
offering homeowners, architects, and interior designers an immersive
introduction to modern luxury kitchen design and seamless integrated
refrigerators.

The inauguration event, held at Aarad Interiors’ new showroom,
brought together discerning consumers, architects, and interior design
professionals for an exclusive walkthrough of the experience zone. 

Speaking on the occasion, Kapil Agarwal, Managing Director – Sales,
Liebherr Appliances India, said, “Modern kitchens today are evolving beyond
functionality into thoughtfully curated lifestyle spaces where design,
technology, and personalization come together seamlessly. At Liebherr, we are
proud to lead the Fully Integrated Refrigerator category with solutions that
blend invisibly into modern kitchens while delivering world-class cooling
performance and food preservation technologies. With our Fully Integrated range
now being manufactured in India, we are able to respond more effectively to the
evolving needs of Indian consumers, climatic conditions, and modern kitchen
requirements while maintaining Liebherr’s global engineering standards. Our
Experience Zone at Aarad Interiors allows consumers and the design community in
Lucknow to experience firsthand how premium refrigeration can elevate
contemporary living.”

Modern Luxury kitchens today are increasingly defined by clean
lines, seamless surfaces, and uninterrupted material finishes. In this evolving
design landscape, appliances are no longer expected to dominate the space
visually but to integrate harmoniously into the overall architecture of the
kitchen. Liebherr’s Fully Integrated Refrigerator range precisely complements
this philosophy — enabling appliances to sit completely flush within cabinetry
while preserving the visual continuity of the space.

Concealed elegantly behind custom cabinetry panels, the Fully
Integrated range allows architects and homeowners complete design freedom
without compromising on performance. Whether finished in timber, stone,
lacquer, or metal textures, the refrigerators have become an invisible yet
indispensable part of the kitchen environment. The range combines sophisticated
German engineering with precision cooling technologies, intelligent storage
solutions, whisper-quiet operation, and energy-efficient performance — making
it an ideal choice for contemporary luxury kitchens.

The portfolio includes refrigerators, freezers, and Fridge Freezer
combination units across nine models, offering flexibility for compact urban
homes as well as expansive luxury residences. Manufactured locally at Liebherr
Appliances India’s state-of-the-art facility in Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, the
range is specifically optimised for Indian climatic conditions and evolving
consumer lifestyles while maintaining the brand’s international quality
standards. Local manufacturing also enables faster accessibility, efficient
installation support, and improved service responsiveness for the Indian
market.

Commenting on the evolving role of integrated appliances in modern
homes, architect Pragya Gaur &amp; Mukesh Kumar Gaur from Goldenage, said,
“Today’s modern luxury kitchens are designed as holistic lifestyle spaces where
visual harmony matters as much as functionality. Fully integrated refrigerators
allow us to create kitchens that feel seamless, refined, and architecturally
cohesive. Liebherr’s solutions stand out because they combine sophisticated
aesthetics with engineering precision, giving designers the freedom to create
truly immersive spaces.”

Architect Amit Prajapati from Dream Design Studio, added,
“Homeowners today are increasingly looking for kitchens that feel calm,
minimal, and highly personalised. Fully integrated appliances help eliminate
visual clutter while enhancing the elegance of the overall design. Liebherr has
established itself as a benchmark in this segment through its seamless
integration capabilities, premium detailing, and performance-driven
innovation.”

Globally recognised for its engineering excellence, Liebherr has
built a strong legacy in premium refrigeration since entering the refrigeration
segment in 1954. Part of the family-run Liebherr Group founded in Germany in
1949, the brand today operates across multiple product segments with a presence
in over 150 companies globally.

Liebherr’s philosophy centres around delivering appliances that
combine longevity, precision, understated luxury, and intuitive functionality.

<title>South Korea’s GPAI Reasoning Engine Effectively Tackles One of the World’s Hardest Exams, Pulling a Near&amp;Perfect Score</title>
<link>https://www.nationrepubliq.com/south-koreas-gpai-reasoning-engine-effectively-tackles-one-of-the-worlds-hardest-exams-pulling-a-near-perfect-score</link>
<guid>https://www.nationrepubliq.com/south-koreas-gpai-reasoning-engine-effectively-tackles-one-of-the-worlds-hardest-exams-pulling-a-near-perfect-score</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

 A South Korean AI startup backed by
OpenAI has just turned heads across the Global Education landscape, not by
racing to another chatbot milestone but by sitting for JEE Advanced 2025 and
effectively scoring 351 out of 360. The company, GPAI, says the number is less
a flex and more a proof point for a different kind of machine intelligence one
that doesn’t just guess the right answer but unfolds a problem logically, step
by step, the way a sharp human mind would.

For anyone unfamiliar with India’s
engineering entrance gauntlet, JEE Advanced is the kind of exam where a single
misplaced sign can cascade into a zero. Its physics, chemistry and mathematics
problems are deliberately layered, weaving together multiple concepts into a
dense knot that rewards genuine understanding and punishes shortcut thinking.
That’s precisely why GPAI chose it. The company wanted to demonstrate that its system
isn’t a pattern-matching parrot but a structured reasoner.

At the heart of the performance is what
GPAI calls Structured Chain-of-Thought. Instead of rushing to a conclusion, the
model isolates bite-sized logical chunks, works through each one deterministically,
and then stitches them into a transparent solution. A separate computational
engine handles the number crunching, removing the kind of hallucination-prone
arithmetic that still trips up many large language models. The result is a
solution trail that a professor could follow line by line, not a black-box
oracle muttering a final digit.

That transparency matters enormously in
STEM education. A correct answer carries little weight if nobody least of all
the student can see how it came to be. GPAI’s pitch is built squarely on this
gap. The platform doesn’t just serve results; it surfaces the reasoning, making
it possible to verify every inferential leap. The system can also interpret
diagrams on the fly, use visuals mid-reasoning, and generate precision graphics
during inference, a boon for subjects like mechanics, optics and calculus where
a well-drawn force diagram or integral sketch often carries the logic of the
problem in its contours.

This multimodal fluency has quietly fuelled
adoption far beyond the startup’s home market. Within three months of launch,
GPAI says its user base inside India’s elite Indian Institutes of Technology
mushroomed, with over a thousand adopters at IIT Delhi alone. Researchers,
graduate students and undergraduates appear to be leaning on the tool not as a
digital cheat sheet but as a reasoning partner a portable lab bench where
problems can be dissected, visualized and verified.

The Indian traction is just one piece of a
broader picture. New data released by the startup points to use at 415 U.S.
universities, with active communities at MIT, Stanford, Harvard and UC
Berkeley. Campus adoption is being driven partly by GPAI’s visualizer
technology, which can generate research-ready diagrams and editable figures
sharp enough for journal manuscripts and conference slide decks. That
capability positions the product squarely in the workflow of serious academic
work rather than casual Q&amp;A.

Beyond diagram generation, A guided
reasoning companion, for instance, lets students pause mid-problem to query
individual steps and receive targeted explanations, helping them course-correct
without losing the thread of the solution. A problem-generation engine,
meanwhile, creates fresh, complex variants of existing questions while
preserving their original logical structure, allowing endless deliberate
practice without repeating the same tired examples.

All of this points to a clear ambition: to
build a research-led STEM platform where the currency is rigour, not just
response time. In a moment when education AI is often judged by how fast it can
spit out an essay or a snippet of code, GPAI is making a case that the harder
and more lasting problem is how the machine thinks. By tying
together deterministic computation, Chain-of-Thought reasoning and visual
problem solving, the company is sketching a future where an AI’s real value in
the classroom and the lab will hinge on explainability, intellectual honesty
and the patient unfurling of a genuine argument.

for finance and accounting professionals across India, Japan, and the broader
Asian region.

A
Strategic Alliance Rooted in Educational Depth

Unlike
traditional edtech investments driven purely by financial capital, this
partnership reflects deep operational alignment between two institutions
focused on professional education.

CPA
Excellent Partners, founded in 2001 and headquartered in Tokyo, operates
Japan’s leading CPA training ecosystem, with a comprehensive presence across
exam preparation, e-learning, career placement, and lifelong professional
support. As part of its global expansion strategy, the firm established its Singapore
subsidiary to drive cross-border collaborations, including this partnership
with Board360.

Through
this collaboration, CPA Excellent Partners has acquired an equity stake in
Board360, reinforcing a shared belief:

Professional
qualifications are only the starting point. Real value lies in building
practical, globally relevant skills.

Why
This Partnership Matters

The
global finance and accounting profession is undergoing a structural shift.
Credentials such as the US CPA and US CMA are no longer region-specific, they
are becoming global career accelerators.

This
partnership brings together:

●       
India’s expanding pool of commerce and finance
professionals

●       
Japan’s mature and highly structured
accounting education ecosystem

●       
A Singapore-led global platform enabling
international collaboration

Together,
the organizations aim to create a cross-border talent pipeline aligned with
global standards, enabling professionals to operate seamlessly across
international markets.

What
Makes Board360 Structurally Different

Board360
is built on a simple but powerful belief:
 Professional education should create
skill-ready professionals, not just exam qualifiers.

In
a market crowded with traditional coaching institutes, Board360 stands apart
through a practice-first, practitioner-led learning model, where
knowledge is delivered by professionals actively working in the field.

The
CPA training and academic initiatives are led by Sagar Bajaj, Academic Head
at Board360, and a practicing US CPA. He brings hands-on experience across
taxation, bookkeeping, audit, and advisory through his own CPA firm.

Students
are not learning from educators who transitioned into teaching after clearing
an exam. They are learning from professionals who continue to work on real
client engagements, evolving regulations, and live financial scenarios. This
structure of learning delivers clear and unmatched benefits to the students,
such as:

●     
Concepts are tied to real-world application

●     
Learning reflects current regulatory
environments

●     
Sessions are shaped by live client
situations and practical workflows

This
practitioner-led approach ensures that students are not just prepared for
exams, but are ready to perform in global roles from day one.

Practice-Led
Learning with WeChartered

Further
strengthening this model is Board360’s association with WeChartered, a
professional consultancy firm specializing in accounting, taxation, and
advisory.

As
a strategic extension of the ecosystem, WeChartered brings industry exposure
directly into learning, enabling real client case understanding, practical
workflows, and alignment with employer expectations.

Together,
this creates a practice-integrated learning environment, bridging the
gap between education and real-world performance.

Driving
Global Talent, Strengthening India’s Economic Edge

This
approach goes beyond education, it contributes to building a workforce of globally
trained, industry-ready professionals capable of operating across borders.

As
India continues to position itself as a global capability hub, the demand for
professionals with international credentials, practical exposure, and global
perspective is rapidly increasing.

By
developing such talent at scale, Board360 is contributing to:

●     
Enhancing India’s global competitiveness in
finance and accounting

●     
Enabling professionals to access higher-value,
cross-border opportunities

●     
Strengthening India’s position as a trusted
global talent hub

Backed
by a Global Leader in Accounting Education

The
partnership gains further strength from CPA Excellent Partners, a giant in
Japan’s accounting education space, with a proven track record of
developing top-tier professionals at scale.

<title>Binance Launches Perpetual Futures for Pre&amp;IPO Market Exposure, Starting with SpaceX</title>
<link>https://www.nationrepubliq.com/binance-launches-perpetual-futures-for-pre-ipo-market-exposure-starting-with-spacex</link>
<guid>https://www.nationrepubliq.com/binance-launches-perpetual-futures-for-pre-ipo-market-exposure-starting-with-spacex</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Designed
to democratize access beyond traditional private market participants, Pre-IPO
Perpetual Contracts allow users to trade expected valuations ahead of public
listings

May
22, 2026 : Binance today announced the launch of perpetual
futures contracts designed to give users early market exposure to high-profile
private companies ahead of their initial public offerings (IPOs). The new
product enables users to take positions on shares before they begin trading on
public exchanges, opening access to one of the most closely watched moments in
global markets.

The
first Pre-IPO Perpetual Contract to go live on Binance Futures will be SPCXUSDT Pre-IPO Perpetual,
based on the anticipated public market valuation of Space Exploration
Technologies Corp (“SpaceX”). Additional Pre-IPO perpetual listings will be
introduced over time.

The
launch also reflects Binance’s broader vision of building a financial super app
that gives users seamless access to a wider range of financial opportunities
through crypto-native infrastructure. By expanding beyond traditional digital
asset use cases and connecting users to major market moments, Binance continues
to evolve its platform into a more comprehensive gateway for global finance.

“Pre-IPO
perpetual futures is another example of how Binance is democratizing access to
market opportunities by combining crypto-native infrastructure with major
financial events. As interest in public listings continues to grow, we’re
giving users a more flexible way to engage with anticipated IPOs earlier,” commented
Shunyet Jan, Head of Spot and Derivatives Business at Binance. “This
launch reflects our vision for Binance as a financial super app — one that
offers access to an expanding range of financial opportunities that have
traditionally been more difficult to reach.”

Historically,
pre-IPO price discovery has been largely limited to institutional investors and
private market participants. Binance’s latest offering democratizes that access
by enabling a global base of eligible users to engage with market expectations
ahead of a company’s public debut. By leveraging crypto-native infrastructure,
Binance is helping reduce many of the traditional barriers associated with
pre-IPO participation.

Built
on perpetual futures rails familiar to digital asset traders, the contracts are
designed to offer continuous pricing, trading flexibility, and deep liquidity.
Rather than waiting for a stock’s public debut, users can trade on expectations
before final IPO pricing and beyond, turning a single market event into an
active, real-time trading opportunity shaped by evolving sentiment.

How
Pre-IPO Perpetuals work: Ahead of an IPO, the contracts are expected to
reflect publicly available pricing signals, including announced price ranges
and final offering prices. Once the underlying company begins trading on public
markets, the contracts will transition to reflect live market performance. In
the event that an IPO is postponed or canceled, Binance will provide advance
notice of any delisting and settle contracts according to a transparent process
designed to support a consistent user experience. Binance may transition the
contract into a standard TradFi perpetual contract framework
once it determines that a stable mark price can be derived for the underlying
asset.

First
Listing Details: SPCXUSDT Pre-IPO Perpetual is the first
Pre-IPO futures contract to be listed on Binance and is expected to provide
eligible users with exposure to market expectations surrounding SpaceX ahead of
its public listing. The contract will be margined and settled in USDT.
Additional information on leverage, tick size, funding rate and listing time
can be found here.

Disclaimer: Digital asset prices can be volatile. The
value of your investment may go down or up and you may not get back the amount
invested. You are solely responsible for your investment decisions and Binance
is not liable for any losses you may incur. Pre-IPO Perps are subject to high market
risk and price volatility. There may be particularly high volatility following
official listing and the price may remain lower than the final IPO price. There
is no guarantee that the IPO in respect of a share will proceed. You may be
called upon at short notice to make additional margin deposits or interest
payments. If the required margin deposits or interest payments are not made
within the prescribed time, your collateral may be liquidated. Moreover, you
will remain liable for any resulting deficit in your account and interest
charged on your account. All of your margin balance may be liquidated in the
event of adverse price movement. Past performance is not a reliable predictor
of future performance. Pre-IPO Perps do not represent ownership of the relevant
underlying share. Pre-IPO Perps are not associated or affiliated with, or
sponsored or endorsed by, the issuer of the relev ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Goa,
May 22, 2026: The Gera School
has announced another year of exceptional academic outcomes in the Cambridge
IGCSE examinations, achieving a 100% pass result for its fourth graduating
batch.

In
a significant milestone, every student eligible for the internationally
recognized Cambridge ICE (International Certificate of Education) award
successfully achieved the certification, reflecting academic excellence across
a broad range of disciplines. The ICE award requires students to study subjects
across languages, humanities, sciences, mathematics and creative or vocational
disciplines, reinforcing holistic and balanced academic development.

The
school also recorded a substantial rise in high academic achievement:

●       
79 A* and A grades were secured by students
this year, marking a 17% increase over last year’s tally. 

●       
20 out of 22 eligible students achieved either
Distinction or Merit certifications from Cambridge. 

●       
55 B grades were also achieved, reflecting a
strong overall cohort performance. 

●       
Of the Distinction holders, Ian Godinho got A*
in all 8 subjects. Joshua Fernandes and Taksh Parekh got 7 A* and 1 A. Hannah
Vales and Neel Patil got 5 A* and 3 A’s.

In
addition to the IGCSE achievements, The Gera School also delivered exceptional
results in the Primary and Lower Secondary Checkpoint examinations, further
reinforcing the school’s strong academic foundation across all levels.

In
the Grade 5 Primary Checkpoint results, 40 students were registered, with the
school outperforming the international average in all three subjects. The
school achieved an average score of 34 in English against the international
average of 32, 33 in Mathematics against 30 internationally, and 35 in Science
compared to the international average of 31. Notably, 73% of the 120 grades
awarded were either High or Outstanding. Chloe Alemao and Avner Lopes emerged
as the top performers in the Primary Checkpoint examination.

The
Grade 8 Lower Secondary Checkpoint results also reflected strong academic
excellence. A total of 42 students appeared for the examinations, with the
school again surpassing the international average across all subjects. The
school recorded an average score of 39 in English against the international
average of 35, 35 in Mathematics against 33 internationally, and 37 in Science
compared to the international average of 33. Of the 126 grades awarded, an
impressive 81% were High or Outstanding. Tanvi Varddhman and Kiara Jhunjhunwala
achieved full marks in all three subjects, while Praveena Rane, Annika Kuttan
and Ryle Frank secured full marks in two out of three subjects.

The
results reinforce the school’s commitment to combining academic rigour with
individual attention and all-round student development.

The
Principal, Mr. Carol Joseph, said, “We are extremely proud of our
students and teachers for this outstanding achievement. Beyond the grades
themselves, what is particularly gratifying is the breadth and consistency of
performance across the cohort. The fact that all eligible students earned the
ICE certification reflects the school’s emphasis on developing well-rounded
learners with strong academic foundations across disciplines. The excellent
Checkpoint results at both the Primary and Lower Secondary levels further
validate the strength of our academic framework and the commitment of our
educators towards nurturing students from the foundational years onward. These
outcomes are the result of sustained effort, committed educators, supportive
parents and students who have approached learning with seriousness and
balance.”

Mr.
Rohit Gera, Managing Director, Gera Developments,
said, “At The Gera School, we believe education must prepare children not only
to perform well in examinations, but also to thrive in an increasingly complex
and global world. These results reflect a culture of high standards, individual
attention and continual improvement. We are particularly encouraged by the
consistency of outcomes and the broad-based excellence demonstrated by the
students. Our objective is not to create pressure-driven academic success, but
confident, capable and well-rounded young individuals prepared for the future.
The strong Checkpoint performance demonstrates that this philosophy is being
embedded early in a child’s academic journey, creating a solid platform for
future success.”

The
school also acknowledged the contribution of its teaching and administrative
teams across Primary, Lower Secondary and IGCSE levels, whose efforts played a
key role in the students’ achievements.

The
school stated that a detailed academic analysis will be conducted over the
coming weeks to identify further opportunities for improvement and continued
enhancement of learning outcomes.

<title>The Paradigm Shift in Facial Rejuvenation Mirrors the Preservation Facelift by Dr. Prashantha Kesari</title>
<link>https://www.nationrepubliq.com/the-paradigm-shift-in-facial-rejuvenation-mirrors-the-preservation-facelift-by-dr-prashantha-kesari</link>
<guid>https://www.nationrepubliq.com/the-paradigm-shift-in-facial-rejuvenation-mirrors-the-preservation-facelift-by-dr-prashantha-kesari</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Long ago, people traveled for days to attend physical
meetings, wrote handwritten letters to stay in touch, and relied on fragile
floppy disks for data. During that analog era, aging was viewed as an
inevitable decline, and a facelift — a heavy surgical intervention performed
through long, visible incisions — was typically reserved for those well past
sixty.

 

Beauty Consciousness and Aesthetics
in the Era of AI and Digital Technology

Today, we live in an instantaneous digital world where
video calls replace travel, messaging apps connect us globally in seconds, and
our lives are shaped by on-demand platforms. Just as technology has evolved
toward seamless efficiency, the preservation facelift has redefined aging: why
wait for a total reconstruction at sixty when you can choose subtle, early
preservation now?

 

 

The paradigm shift in facial rejuvenation mirrors the
leap from the analog to the digital age. The old era of facelifts —
characterized by long incisions that often-left visible scars, deep anesthesia,
and months of recovery — is thankfully behind us. These outdated methods,
centred around the aggressive SMAS lift, frequently resulted in an unnatural
appearance and necessitated the use of drains. Furthermore, expertise was
confined to a handful of specialists in select Western cities, and the
procedure was widely perceived as the exclusive preserve of celebrities.

 

Today, the landscape has been transformed. Modern
techniques such as the preservation deep-plane lift are performed using
sophisticated endoscopic methods, ensuring no visible scars and a recovery
measured in weeks rather than months. This minimally invasive approach utilises
gentle twilight anaesthesia and eliminates the need for drains, delivering a
consistently natural, elegant outcome. The secrecy that once guarded these
techniques has dissolved; the internet has levelled the playing field, enabling
Indian surgeons to enhance their inherent skill with access to cutting-edge
global technology.

 

As a result, cities such as Bengaluru are emerging as
new global hubs for facelift surgery, reflecting the empowering conviction that
everyone deserves access to the finest care. This evolution ensures that
advanced cosmetic surgery is no longer an exclusive luxury, but a widely
accessible standard of care.

 

Decades of training and dedicated high-end surgical
practice, combined with a continuous commitment to updating skills and adopting
the latest global advances, have resulted in the world-class anti-ageing
procedures offered at Nypunya Aesthetic Clinic.

 

 

 

 

 

At Nypunya, everything is centred around you. The
approach combines the changes you desire with what can be practically and
naturally achieved — balancing your vision with clinical expertise. Anti-ageing
procedures here are a collaborative effort, drawing on the finest technology
and skill available, all customised exclusively for you.

<description><![CDATA[  The
limited-edition Jung Kook for Calvin Klein capsule brings the brand ambassador
and pop royalty&#039;s rebellious style to hero Calvin Klein silhouettes

INDIA – May 21, 2026 : Calvin Klein, Inc., part of PVH Corp. [NYSE:PVH], today
announces Jung Kook for Calvin Klein, a limited-edition capsule in
partnership with global brand ambassador and pop royalty Jung Kook, marking his
first fashion collaboration. Building on the brand’s long-standing
ambassadorship with the artist, the capsule reimagines Calvin Klein’s
brand-defining essentials through the lens of Jung Kook’s personal style,
merging the brand’s distinct design language with his rebellious edge.

“Partnering with Calvin Klein over
the past few years has given me the opportunity to express myself through the
brand’s iconic style, and it’s been exciting to work with Calvin Klein
in this more personal, creative way,” said Jung Kook. “As my first fashion
collaboration, I wanted to fully immerse myself in the process,
leveraging Calvin Klein’s design expertise to leave my mark on
every piece. This capsule feels authentic to my style and my love of riding and
is a meaningful way to shape something lasting through design and storytelling.”

Blending biker attitude with Calvin
Klein’s storied design codes, the men’s and women’s 20-style capsule
infuses the brand’s icons with Jung Kook’s authentic style. Rooted in underwear
and key denim silhouettes, including the 90s trucker jacket and 90s straight
and low-rise baggy styles complemented by graphic tees, sweatshirts and a racer
jacket, the capsule’s attitude and worn-in edge is further reinforced
with distressed denim accents and racing stripe details. Throughout, personal
and elevated details – special logo branding, interior woven labels, hidden
embroidery, Jung Kook-inspired graphics and custom denim washes, as well as
exclusive packaging – add depth and collectability.

“This collaboration brings together two
cultural forces at full power, combining the unmistakable influence of Jung
Kook with Calvin Klein’s iconic brand codes to create something
with real impact,” said David Savman, Global Brand President,
Calvin Klein. “Through Jung Kook&#039;s lens, we’re able to express a more personal
side of the partnership, inspired by his individuality and passion for
motorcycles, all interpreted through the Calvin Klein aesthetic.
Together, we are reimagining our icons for today in a way that feels authentic,
culturally resonant and globally compelling.”

The collaboration launches with a cinematic
campaign that captures Jung Kook’s magnetic energy and rebellious spirit
through a biker concept that takes cues from his passion for motorcycles.
Dynamic portraits and a series of trailers shot by Alasdair McLellan
portray Jung Kook as a modern icon embodying the freedom of the open road,
uniting fashion and entertainment to create an immersive world that balances
his larger-than-life impact with Calvin Klein’s confident point of
view.

Jung Kook for Calvin Klein will be available in India in eight select Calvin
Klein stores on May 20, 2026, 11 AM onwards.

Construction and Shailendra Shivakumar (Indian Branding Guru) Birth Marque .

Chennai / Bengaluru, 
21st  May 2026 : In a significant milestone that reflects its steady growth
and customer trust, Golden Keys Construction has officially crossed 1000
successfully completed residential projects, further strengthening its
reputation as one of South India’s most trusted and fast-emerging residential
construction brands.

With a growing footprint across Chennai and Bengaluru, two
of India’s most competitive and rapidly expanding urban housing markets, the
company has established itself as a preferred choice among top residential builders in Chennai for modern homebuyers seeking transparency, reliability,
and long-term value in residential construction.

Over the years, Golden Keys Construction has built its
foundation on a simple but powerful principle — a home is not merely a
structure, but a lifelong investment where families build their future,
aspirations, and memories. This philosophy has enabled the company to consistently
deliver thoughtfully planned living spaces that combine functionality,
aesthetics, and durability while aligning with the expectations of today’s
urban families.

Today, the company has more than 100 ongoing residential
projects and residential
construction companies in  Chennai and
Bengaluru, reflecting both its operational
scale and the increasing trust placed in the brand by homeowners across South
India. Each project is driven by a strong commitment to quality construction,
ethical business practices, clear documentation, and customer-centric
execution.

In an industry where trust and transparency remain decisive
factors in home-buying decisions, Golden Keys Construction has differentiated itself
through responsible business conduct and consistent project delivery. The
company’s emphasis on ethical practices and transparent customer engagement has
helped it build long-term credibility and lasting relationships with families
across both markets.

Speaking about the milestone, Saravanan, Founder and
Promoter of Golden Keys Construction, said “From the very beginning, our vision
has been clear to build homes that families can trust and feel proud of for
generations. Crossing the milestone of 1000 completed projects is not just a
business achievement; it reflects the confidence and trust homeowners have
placed in us over the years. Every project represents a responsibility towards
a family, and that responsibility continues to guide every decision we make as
an organisation.”

The company has also been actively strengthening its brand
positioning and market presence through strategic communication and long-term
brand-building initiatives. According to Shailendra Sivakumar, Branding Guru
and Strategic Advisor supporting the brand’s strategic marketing direction
“Golden Keys Construction stands apart because of the values that drive the
organisation. Today’s homebuyers are informed, quality-conscious, and highly
aware of the importance of transparency when selecting a builder. The company
has earned credibility by consistently staying committed to ethical practices
while delivering homes that align with the aspirations of modern families in
Chennai and Bengaluru.”

As urban expansion continues to accelerate across South
India, the demand for trustworthy and responsibly developed residential
communities is rising steadily. Industry experts believe companies that combine
quality construction with strong ethical standards and customer-first practices
will continue to shape the future of urban housing.

With more than 1000 completed residential projects and individual
house construction builders in chennai
expanding portfolio of developments, and a growing presence in two major
metropolitan markets, Golden Keys Construction continues to position itself as
a trusted and future-focused construction brand dedicated to building stronger
communities and meaningful living spaces for generations to come.

At Golden Keys Construction, sustainability is not just a
commitment it is an integral part of every project we undertake. In
collaboration with PABT, we ensure that each completed project contributes
positively to the environment by planting 10 trees as a symbol of growth,
responsibility, and long-term ecological balance. Our construction practices
are designed to minimize material wastage through precise planning and
efficient execution, while advanced building techniques help reduce noise
pollution and disruption at project sites. By adopting resource-conscious
methods, optimizing energy usage, and integrating eco-friendly practices, we
create spaces that are both structurally strong and environmentally
responsible. This initiative reflects our vision of building not only
exceptional homes and commercial spaces, but also a healthier and more
sustainable future for generations to ]]></description>

<title>IPS Launches &amp;apos;Prof. L. V. Gangawane Young Scientist Award and Oration&amp;apos; in Honour of Eminent Plant Pathologist’s Farmer&amp;Centric Legacy</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

New Delhi : The Indian Phytopathological Society (IPS), a
leading national body in plant pathology and agricultural sciences, has
instituted the prestigious “Prof. L. V. Gangawane Young Scientist Award and
Oration”, a national platform to recognise and encourage outstanding young
agricultural scientists. The new award commemorates Prof. L. V. Gangawane
(1944–2018), an eminent Indian plant pathologist, soil microbiologist and
former IPS President, celebrated for his steadfast commitment to farmer-centric
research.

The announcement was made by IPS President-Elect Prof.
Rajendra M. Gade, who described Prof. Gangawane as “a scientist who
consistently bridged rigorous agricultural research with the real needs of
farmers and rural communities.” The Award and Oration, which will commence in
the 2026–2027 academic year, has been established with an initial endowment of
₹10 lakh donated by Mrs. Sushila Gangawane. The family has further pledged ₹90
lakh to support young scientist recognition, research encouragement and related
academic initiatives in Prof. Gangawane’s memory, bringing the total family
support for these initiatives to ₹1 crore.

The initiative has been conceived and shaped with the
support and guidance of senior members of the scientific and academic community,
including IPS President Dr. R. Viswanathan, IPS Secretary Dr. Malkhan Singh
Gurjar, Professors and Heads of Botany Departments Dr. Vikram Khilare and Dr.
Shivaji Kamble, and the Vice Chancellor of Mumbai University, Dr. Ravindra
Kulkarni. Together they share the objective of promoting excellence in plant
pathology and agricultural sciences nationwide.

Prof. L. V. Gangawane was widely respected across Indian
agricultural science for his unique ability to combine scientific rigour with
practical, farmer-oriented research across a career spanning more than four
decades. Born into an agrarian family, he made pioneering contributions in
rhizosphere microbiology, fungicide resistance, integrated disease management,
biofertilizer technology and sustainable agriculture, with particular relevance
to semi-arid farming systems.

As Head of the Department of Botany at Dr. Babasaheb
Ambedkar Marathwada University and later as Emeritus Professor, he played a
pivotal role in strengthening research infrastructure in plant pathology and
microbiology and in mentoring successive generations of scientists and
researchers. His international engagements included research collaborations and
invited lectures at institutions such as the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
(London), the University of Cambridge, the University of Bristol, Swansea
University, Cairo University, Kasetsart University (Thailand), the University
of Malaya (Malaysia) and Al Ain University (UAE). The Government of India also
selected him under its Cultural Exchange Programme to deliver scientific
lectures in Egypt.

Notably, during the 1970s; a period when advanced facilities
for human viral research were limited in India, Prof. Gangawane experimentally
demonstrated that the Hepatitis-B virus could be propagated on tobacco leaves.
This work opened new experimental pathways for subsequent virological and
vaccine-related research and was acknowledged in the internationally renowned
medical journal The Lancet in 1976.

A prolific scholar, Prof. Gangawane authored more than 280
research papers and developed recognised methods for controlling seed-borne
diseases in pigeon pea. Deeply committed to public outreach, he appeared on
Doordarshan’s “Aamchi Mati Aamchi Manse,” delivered talks on All India Radio,
and wrote Marathi-language scientific literature to communicate agricultural
science to farming communities. He guided 42 Ph.D. scholars and served as
President of the Indian Phytopathological Society in 2006. His contributions
were recognised with several honours, including the Maharashtra State Ideal
Teacher Award (2002), the Prof. M. S. Pavgi Award and the P. R. Verma Award.

In the foreword to the national seminar volume Biofertilizer
Technology Transfer, renowned agricultural scientist and architect of India’s
Green Revolution, Dr. M. S. Swaminathan, wrote: “We owe a deep sense of
gratitude to Dr. L. V. Gangawane for this labour of love.”

The Award and Oration have been designed to uphold the
values Prof. Gangawane embodied throughout his life; scientific excellence,
translational agricultural research, institution building, mentorship and
dedicated service to farming communities. IPS stated that the initiative is
expected to evolve into a distinguished national platform encouraging young
scientists working in sustainable agriculture, plant health and food security. ]]></description>

<title>Thomas Cook India expands its prepaid forex cards to 28 Currencies</title>

<description><![CDATA[ ●       
One of India’s widest currency
portfolios on a prepaid forex card 

●       
Reinforces focus on secure,
seamless and digital-first payments for global travel



Mumbai : As Indian travellers become increasingly global and digitally
adept, expectations around overseas payments are evolving rapidly. Convenience,
security and speed have become central considerations, particularly amid
shorter booking cycles and a growing preference for cash‑light travel. Today’s
global Indian traveller seeks secure, transparent and seamless payment
solutions that work                                     
effortlessly across destinations. Responding to these shifts, Thomas
Cook (India) Limited - India’s leading omnichannel foreign exchange services
company, has announced a significant expansion of its prepaid Forex Card
portfolio to 28 currencies, with the addition of 16 new global currencies -
creating one of India’s widest currency portfolios on a prepaid forex card.
This move reinforces the Company’s leadership in travel and forex innovation,
aligned with its focus on enabling smarter, secure and more efficient
international travel experiences.

Indians have become increasingly experimental in their choice of
holiday destinations, especially post-covid, driving strong demand across
emerging international markets. However, local currency for many of these
destinations is not always readily available. This often forces multiple
currency conversions, from INR to USD and then to the local currency, resulting
in higher costs and inconvenience. Thomas Cook India’s expanded prepaid Forex
Card portfolio addresses this gap by enabling travellers to load and spend
directly in local currencies, eliminate multiple conversions and access a
secure, seamless alternative to cash.

 

The newly added 16 currencies include: Chinese Yuan, Swedish
Krona, Vietnamese Dong, Malaysian Ringgit, Indonesian Rupiah, Danish Krone,
Hong Kong Dollar, Qatari Riyal, Norwegian Krone, Omani Riyal, Kuwaiti Dinar,
Bahraini Dinar, Bangladeshi Taka, South African Rand, South Korean Wo,
Philippine Peso and complement the Company’s existing suite of 12 currencies –
US Dollar, British Pound, Euro, Japanese Yen, Singapore Dollar, Australian Dollar,
Canadian Dollar, Swiss Franc, UAE Dirham, Thai Baht, Saudi Riyal and New
Zealand Dollar. Notably, the inclusion of currencies such as the Chinese Yuan
reflects the growing relevance of destinations aligned with strengthening
bilateral relations, increased trade flows and expanding air connectivity,
underlining Thomas Cook India’s commitment to staying ahead of evolving travel
patterns. 

 

The expanded suite of 28 currencies is available across both
Visa and Mastercard prepaid forex cards, ensuring seamless global acceptance.
Customers can purchase and load currencies through Thomas Cook India’s
extensive omnichannel network, including its retail outlets, digital platforms,
and via its partnership with Blinkit—enabling customers to buy and load forex on
their prepaid cards in under an hour. Additionally, Thomas Cook India’s Forex
on WhatsApp provides 24x7 forex services assistance, from live rate to
end-to-end transactions for today’s on-the-go, always‑connected consumer.

 

The prepaid Forex Cards also support contactless payments,
allowing travellers to transact seamlessly at international merchant outlets,
including compatibility with digital wallet integrations such as Google Pay on
enabled POS terminals.

Mr. Deepesh Varma, Chief Business Officer – Foreign Exchange,
Thomas Cook (India) Limited, said, “At Thomas
Cook India, innovation and customer-centricity are at the core of our
offerings. We are witnessing strong and sustained growth in travel demand from
Indian consumers to emerging and short-haul destinations across Asia, Southeast
Asia, Africa and beyond. Our expansion to 28 currencies for our prepaid Forex
Cards is a direct response to evolving travel patterns, enabling our customers
to transact seamlessly in local currencies while benefiting from greater
transparency and cost efficiency.

Importantly,
this initiative also supports our strategic focus on driving a digital-first
approach to forex usage—shift from cash towards secure, smarter prepaid
solutions. Additionally, through our partnership with Blinkit, we have further
enhanced convenience by enabling customers to buy and load forex on their
prepaid cards in under an hour—delivering speed, flexibility and ease to
today’s digitally savvy and globally mobile Indian traveller.”

 

Mr.
Ravi Datla, Senior Vice President, Customer Solutions, South Asia at Mastercard,
said, “As international travel from India diversifies into newer and
emerging markets, access to simple, secure and widely accepted payment
solutions becomes increasingly critical. Mastercard’s deep expertise in
cross-border payments, coupled with our global acceptance network, enables
seamles ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Raipur,
India : In today’s knowledge economy, education is no longer defined solely by
academic performance or textbook learning. The ability to think critically,
communicate effectively, and innovate creatively has become equally important.
Recognizing this shift, MATS University is cultivating an academic environment
where creativity, communication, and intellectual curiosity come together to
shape well-rounded individuals. NAAC A+ and NEP syllabus will enable local
students to gain the facilities provided by universities situated in metros and
is highly beneficial for students of our state.

Redefining
the Role of Modern Education

MATS
University has steadily evolved into an institution that goes beyond
traditional teaching methods. Its academic framework emphasizes not only
subject knowledge but also the development of essential life skills such as
critical thinking, collaboration, and creative expression.

Departments
across humanities, psychology, management, and creative programs are adapting
their curriculum to reflect contemporary needs. Students are encouraged to
question ideas, explore diverse perspectives, and engage actively in the
learning process, transforming classrooms into spaces of dialogue and
discovery.

Blending
Creativity with Academic Rigor

One
of the most distinctive aspects of MATS University’s approach is its
integration of creativity into academic learning. Students are not limited to
conventional methods of study; instead, they participate in activities that
bring concepts to life.

Theatre-based
learning, for instance, allows literature students to interpret texts through
performance, enhancing both understanding and expression. Similarly, creative
projects, presentations, and interactive assignments enable students to
communicate ideas in innovative ways.

This
blend of creativity and academic rigor ensures that students not only grasp
concepts deeply but also develop the ability to present their ideas
effectively—an essential skill in any profession.

Communication
Skills at the Core

Effective
communication is a key focus area across all programs at MATS University.
Whether through classroom discussions, seminars, or presentations, students are
consistently encouraged to articulate their thoughts clearly and confidently.

Programs
in English and humanities integrate elements of media studies, digital
communication, and content creation, reflecting the growing importance of
communication in the digital age. These skills open up diverse career
opportunities in fields such as media, publishing, public relations, and
digital platforms.

At
the same time, students from other disciplines also benefit from communication
training, enabling them to excel in professional environments that demand
clarity, persuasion, and collaboration.

Encouraging
Research and Intellectual Growth

Alongside
creativity and communication, MATS University places strong emphasis on
research and intellectual development. Students are encouraged to participate
in seminars, workshops, and academic discussions that expose them to new ideas
and perspectives.

Research-oriented
learning helps students develop analytical thinking and problem-solving skills,
preparing them for higher studies and knowledge-based careers. By engaging with
contemporary topics and contributing to academic discourse, students become
active participants in the learning process.

A
Vibrant Campus Experience

The
campus environment at MATS University plays a crucial role in shaping student
experiences. Cultural events, academic competitions, and collaborative projects
create a dynamic and inclusive atmosphere where students can explore their
interests and talents.

Participation
in these activities helps build confidence, leadership skills, and teamwork,
contributing to overall personality development. The university’s focus on
holistic growth ensures that students are prepared not just academically, but
also socially and professionally.

Preparing
Students for a Changing World

As
industries and careers continue to evolve, the need for adaptable and creative
thinkers is greater than ever. MATS University’s approach to education reflects
this reality by combining academic knowledge with creativity, communication,
and critical thinking.

By
nurturing these qualities, the university is preparing students to navigate a
rapidly changing world with confidence and competence.

A
Culture of Innovation and Expression

MATS
University stands as an example of how education can evolve to meet the needs
of the modern era. Its emphasis on creativity, intellectual growth, and
practical skills ensures that students graduate as well-rounded individuals
ready to make meaningful contributions in their chosen fields. ]]></description>

<title>India’s 45&amp;Day MSME Payment Rule Exposes Structural Gap in Industrial Supply Chain Finance</title>
<link>https://www.nationrepubliq.com/indias-45-day-msme-payment-rule-exposes-structural-gap-in-industrial-supply-chain-finance</link>
<guid>https://www.nationrepubliq.com/indias-45-day-msme-payment-rule-exposes-structural-gap-in-industrial-supply-chain-finance</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

A new analysis argues the mandate’s intent is sound — but the
financial infrastructure to support it does not yet exist for most of the
industrial chain. A phased, data-led supply chain finance architecture is
proposed as the path forward.

 

AHMEDABAD, May 21 : India’s 45-day payment mandate
for MSME suppliers, which came into force in April 2024 under Section 43B(h) of
the Income Tax Act, has brought into sharp relief a structural working capital
crisis running through the country’s informal industrial supply chains — one
that a UNIC Analysis(published
on Medium)
identifies as needing a new architecture of supply chain finance designed from
the distributor’s financial reality upward.

The rule requires companies to settle
dues to micro and small enterprise suppliers within 45 days to claim tax
deductions. For the industrial distributors who form the critical middle tier
of India’s manufacturing supply chains, the law has tightened one end of a
capital cycle that was already under pressure — without addressing the other
end at all.

“The policy is sound in intent.
The financial infrastructure to support it does not yet exist for most of the
chain.” — UNICbiz.com Analysis, May 2026

 

THE CREDIT SANDWICH

 

The industrial distributor — the
trader who stocks and sells the products of an anchor company, meaning
the principal manufacturer sitting at the top of the supply chain — operates on
margins that rarely exceed five to eight per cent. The distributor buys from
the anchor company on the anchor’s payment terms; he sells onward to
fabricators, plant operators, and industrial workshops on theirs.

The gap between those two
payment cycles is where his working capital lives — or stalls. When downstream
buyers delay, capital sits frozen in unpaid invoices. He cannot reorder, cannot
service existing customers, and cannot grow. Across India’s industrial hubs,
over 52 per cent of B2B payments already sit overdue beyond 90 days.

Section 43B(h) has compressed
the window in which the distributor must settle with the anchor company —
before his own buyers have paid him. His capital rotation, already under
strain, now has a hard deadline on one end and an unchanged delay on the other.

A SYSTEMS PROBLEM, NOT A CREDIT
PROBLEM

 

The analysis, published by
Ahmedabad-based strategic consultancy UNICbiz.com,
argues that the stress in the chain is not the cost of money — it is the
absence of velocity. Capital cannot complete its cycle because the downstream
payment culture moves slower than the upstream delivery schedule demands.

Conventional banking instruments
— overdraft facilities secured against stock and debtors — are designed for a
formal financial world that bears little resemblance to the informal industrial
trade most distributors actually operate in. They require three years of
audited financials, ITR filing history, and collateral — requirements that
exclude the large majority of the informal industrial segment.

THE PROPOSED SOLUTION: SUPPLY
CHAIN PARTNERS PROGRAM

 

The
proposed solution is built on one foundational insight: the anchor company’s
commercial relationship with every player in its chain is itself a financial
asset. Transaction frequency, order regularity, inventory velocity, and buyer
payment patterns are all data — and structured correctly, that data can replace
the balance sheet as the qualifying document for credit, making receivables
that were previously invisible to any formal lender visible and financeable for
the first time.

The
program operates on two tracks simultaneously. The first provides channel
finance against anchor-validated invoices, allowing distributors to meet the
45-day rule without draining their own capital. The second enables invoice
discounting on the distributor’s own receivables book — allowing him to receive
80 to 90 per cent of end-buyer invoice values immediately, completing the
capital cycle.

What banks require  → 
What the program uses instead

3 years audited financials 
→  6 months of platform-tracked sales and inventory

ITR filing history  → 
GST invoice trail from within the program

Collateral or property 
→ Anchor-validated purchase orders

CIBIL credit score 
→ Payment velocity and buyer repeat-order frequency

LEVERAGING INDIA’S DIGITAL
INFRASTRUCTURE — WITH A CRITICAL REDESIGN

 

India’s digital infrastructure
is well-positioned for this challenge — the building blocks already exist. The
GST network, Udyam registration databases, and digital lending frameworks have
created an environment in which invoice verification, buyer creditworthiness
assessment, and fund disbursal can now happen within hours rather than weeks.

 

Platforms such as FinAgg already
use anchor credit ratings to extend working capital to FMCG distributors via
e-KYC, GST invoice verification through India Stack APIs, and AI-led
underwriting that extends ]]></description>

<title>Tiger Eye vs Pyrite Bracelet: Which Should You Buy?</title>
<link>https://www.nationrepubliq.com/tiger-eye-vs-pyrite-bracelet-which-should-you-buy</link>
<guid>https://www.nationrepubliq.com/tiger-eye-vs-pyrite-bracelet-which-should-you-buy</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ You&#039;ve probably heard both called powerful
wealth stones. But here&#039;s the thing — they work in completely different ways.
One builds your confidence to act. The other attracts opportunities toward you.
Understanding that difference changes everything about which one you should
actually buy.

Most guides just list benefits without helping
you decide. This one&#039;s different. We&#039;ll walk through what each stone does, who
they&#039;re best for, and whether you even need both.

Understanding the Core Difference

Tiger Eye and Pyrite both target the Solar
Plexus chakra, but that&#039;s where the similarity ends.

Tiger Eye is a
golden-brown quartz with a shimmering band that catches light from every angle.
What makes it special isn&#039;t the look — it&#039;s the energy tradition behind it. People
wear Tiger Eye when they need courage in the moment. Before a job interview.
Before a difficult conversation. Before a business decision. It&#039;s the stone for
someone who&#039;s already in the game but needs to play it better.

Pyrite — that
&quot;Fool&#039;s Gold&quot; mineral with the metallic sheen — works on a different
timeline. Where Tiger Eye says &quot;trust yourself right now,&quot; Pyrite
says &quot;attract what you deserve.&quot; It&#039;s used in manifestation work,
worn during financial planning, placed in business spaces. It&#039;s the stone for
someone building something from the ground up.

The key difference: Tiger Eye activates what&#039;s
already inside you. Pyrite magnetizes what&#039;s outside toward you.

The Durability Reality

Both stones sit at Mohs hardness 6.5, which
means they&#039;re durable enough for daily wear but not indestructible. Here&#039;s what
matters practically.

Tiger Eye holds up better long-term. The stone
resists fading and maintains its shimmer for years. Wear it through showers,
workdays, light activity — it holds. Pyrite? It oxidizes slowly in humid air.
Not immediately, but if you live near the coast or in a wet climate, you&#039;ll
notice the luster dulling over a year or two.

Both bracelets use an elastic cord that
eventually weakens. A quality bracelet lasts 2-3 years before the string gives
out. This is true regardless of price point. The stone outlives the string
every time.

For care: Keep both out of pools and
saltwater. Cleaning with a soft cloth and warm water works for both. Store them
dry. That&#039;s really it.

When to Choose Tiger Eye

Pick Tiger Eye if you&#039;re in a decision-making
role. Managers, entrepreneurs, anyone who needs to lead others benefits from
its clarity. People in competitive environments — sales, athletics, academics —
report that Tiger Eye&#039;s confidence effect shows up fast.

You&#039;d also choose Tiger Eye if you&#039;re dealing
with self-doubt. Not everyone does, but plenty of people benefit from a daily
reminder on their wrist that says &quot;I can handle this.&quot;

Same applies if you&#039;re starting something new.
New job, new business, new relationship. That&#039;s when Tiger Eye&#039;s courage energy
feels most useful.

Real talk: If you
live in a humid or coastal climate, Tiger Eye is the practical choice. It won&#039;t
tarnish. That matters if you&#039;re buying something to wear regularly.

A quality Tiger
Eye bracelet costs between ₹1,200 and ₹2,500. That&#039;s for genuine
8mm beads with good banding. Anything cheaper than ₹800 is probably low quality
or fake. Anything over ₹5,000 is premium artisan work.

When to Choose Pyrite

Pyrite makes sense when you&#039;re in
wealth-building mode. Side business launching. Career transition coming.
Financial recovery happening. Pyrite sits with you through that process.

It&#039;s also the stone for negotiation and deal-making.
Salespeople, business owners, anyone cutting contracts. The tradition around
Pyrite suggests it strengthens your position in these moments.

You&#039;d pick Pyrite if you feel stuck or
stagnant. That might sound abstract, but the ritual of wearing Pyrite while you
actually work on your goals often shifts something. Manifestation practices
aren&#039;t passive — they&#039;re about combining intention with action.

Aesthetically, Pyrite&#039;s metallic gold look
appeals to people who want something that catches light. It&#039;s striking on the
wrist.

Cost is similar: ₹1,000 to ₹3,000 for genuine
quality. Check for visible cubic structure in the stone. That&#039;s how you spot
the real deal.

Real vs. Fake: How to Tell

This matters because you&#039;ll find cheap fakes
everywhere.

Fake Tiger Eye looks uniform. Real Tiger Eye
has that chatoyant shimmer — light bounces differently depending on the angle.
If the banding looks perfect and flat, it&#039;s not genuine.

Fake Pyrite is usually just painted brass.
Real Pyrite is heavy, dense, and cool to the touch. It has weight to it. If it
feels hollow or too light, skip it.

Both real stones have natural imperfections. A
crack here, slightly uneven color there. Uniform perfection means synthetic.

Buy from sellers who tell you where the stones
come from. South Africa for Tiger Eye, Peru or Brazil for Pyrite. Sellers who
can&#039;t answer that question probably don&#039;t know what they&#039;re selling.

Price sanity check: If a Tiger E ]]></description>

<title>Sidhhant Motion Pictures presents, &amp;apos;Malumadi&amp;apos;, a heartfelt ode to motherhood in Gujarati cinema</title>
<link>https://www.nationrepubliq.com/sidhhant-motion-pictures-presents-malumadi-a-heartfelt-ode-to-motherhood-in-gujarati-cinema</link>
<guid>https://www.nationrepubliq.com/sidhhant-motion-pictures-presents-malumadi-a-heartfelt-ode-to-motherhood-in-gujarati-cinema</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Gujarati cinema is ready to welcome a
film that doesn’t stay confined to the screen but quietly finds its way into
the heart of the audience. “Malumadi”, presented by Sidhhant Motion Pictures
and produced by Vikram Patolia and Kiran Khokhani, is set to release in
theatres on 30th January 2026.

This is not the story of a fictional
heroine.
This is the story of every Gujarati household’s mother.

Fondly known as “Gujarat’s Mother India”,
Malumadi is an emotional contribution to the selfless love, quiet strength and
unspoken sacrifices of Gujarati mothers, a form of motherhood that steps back
so the family can move forward.

Directed with sensitivity by Milan Joshi,
Malumadi explores love, sacrifice and the unbreakable bond of family in a way
that resonates across generations. It is a clean, family-friendly film, rooted
in emotion, values and truth.


Where emotion meets tradition

Malumadi tells a story that lives, in one
form or another, in every Gujarati home,
where a mother stands tall as the emotional pillar of the family.

This line from the film captures its
soul:
“I refuse to carry the burden of sins created by divisions of caste and
identity.”

These words are more than dialogue.
They reflect a mother’s moral courage, choosing humanity over social prejudice.

The film addresses contemporary social
realities with sensitivity, while reminding us that the true strength of a
family lies in love, not division.

Music that lingers long after

The film’s music is composed by Harman
Mer, with lyrics penned by Kiran Khokhani. The title track, in particular,
captures the essence of maternal love and silent sacrifice with such simplicity
that the emotion speaks louder than words.

Performances that feel real

In the lead role, Bharti Thakkar delivers
a performance that is not just watched but deeply felt. It stands among her
most powerful and emotionally rich portrayals to date.

She is supported by a strong ensemble
cast, including
Aakash Pandya, Priyam Talavia, Gurubhai Jethwa, Diya Bhatt, Vijay Jhala,
Ashitosh Solanki,
along with veteran actors Ashok Patel and Niharika Dave, who add depth and
authenticity to the narrative.

Cinematographer Jayesh Kaushik brings
visual realism and warmth to the film. The project is managed by Parth Navadia,
with Bharat Donda serving as Production Head.

Producer Vikram Patolia shares,

“Malumadi is not just a film, it’s the
story of every home.
A mother quietly holds everything together, without ever asking to be seen.
This film is our humble attempt to honour the emotions of all such mothers.”

With digital promotions led by Nexa
Infotech, Malumadi has already begun creating an emotional connection on social
media. The trailer has received encouraging responses on YouTube and Instagram,
with #malumadifilm steadily gaining popularity.

In theatres from 30th
January 2026, https://in.bookmyshow.com/movies/rajapalayam/malumadi/ET00482595 
 Experience
a film woven with the emotions of every mother, and the unbreakable bond of family.

<guid>https://www.nationrepubliq.com/manushya-strikes-a-chord-on-waves-ott-with-its-blend-of-wit-values-and-mythic-storytelling</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Rising Attention Across Digital Audiences
Manushya is gaining increasing recognition on Waves OTT as
viewers respond to its engaging mix of humour, emotion and culturally inspired
storytelling. The Hindi web series has begun to stand out for offering light
hearted entertainment that also carries meaningful reflections on human
behaviour. The series premiered at the 56th International Film Festival of
India (IFFI) adding to its glory.

Creative Direction and Production
The series is produced by Tripursundari Chalchitram
Pvt. Ltd. with ⁠Shefali Neeraj Gupta as the producer, while the story is
written and directed by Lakshya Neeraj Gupta. Since its debut on Waves OTT, the
show has witnessed steady traction, supported by positive viewer engagement and
organic buzz.

Cast That Adds Authenticity
Manushya features a strong ensemble cast including
Rahul Dev, Chandan Roy, Ashok Pathak, Anil Charanjeett, Kumar Saurabh, Shankh
Agrawal, Jai Kumar, Mahika Sharma, Atul Shrivastav, Lavi Pajni and Neeraj Sood.
The performances are marked by natural dialogue delivery and controlled humour,
allowing the mythological premise to feel relatable and grounded.

A Mythological Lens on Modern Life
The narrative centres on a righteous Rakshasni who
enters the human world to nudge people towards their better selves. By blending
mythology with everyday situations, the series offers a contemporary
perspective on moral dilemmas, using satire and humour rather than heavy handed
messaging.

Themes Rooted in Relationships and
Values
At its emotional core, the series explores
relationships that define human life, including family bonds, friendship and
personal responsibility. The inclusion of emotional story arcs, particularly
those involving parental relationships, adds depth while maintaining the show’s
light and engaging tone.

Music Enhancing the Viewing Experience
Music forms an integral part of the storytelling. With
nine original tracks gaining attention on social media platforms, the
soundtrack has contributed to the show’s growing popularity and strengthened
its cultural connect with audiences.

A Clean and Inclusive Digital Offering
Positioned as a family friendly series, Manushya
appeals to viewers across age groups, from younger audiences to families
seeking wholesome entertainment. Available for free streaming on the Waves
OTT app, the series continues to build its presence as a Hindi
digital title that blends humour, emotion and cultural sensibility.
