Care Health Insurance Issues Public Advisory On HEPA Filter Use Amid Rising Respiratory Illnesses And Worsening Air Quality Conditions

Demonstrating its continued commitment to public health and preventive care, Care Health Insurance today issued an urgent advisory encouraging households and workplaces to adopt HEPA-certified air filtration in response to escalating respiratory illnesses due to the increasing pollution.

In recent weeks, multiple regions have reported a sharp surge in asthma flare-ups, respiratory infections and pollution-related medical emergencies. This trend has been intensified by the high pollution levels.

According to recent national and global air quality assessments:

● Air pollution remains a leading contributor to premature mortality in India, accounting for millions of pollution-linked illnesses annually, including asthma, COPD and cardiovascular complications.

● India’s PM2.5 concentrations frequently rank among the highest globally, exposing populations to hazardous fine particles that penetrate deep into the lungs.

● Asthma prevalence continues to be a public health concern, with tens of millions of individuals living with chronic symptoms that worsen during pollution spikes.

Care Health Insurance’s Advisory includes the following recommended measures:

Use HEPA-certified air purifiers in indoor spaces to reduce exposure to particulate matter and maintain them with timely filter replacement.

Keep windows and doors closed during severe pollution hours and ventilate only when air quality improves.

Limit outdoor activity and strenuous exercise during peak pollution times. Choose indoor exercise and avoid running, jogging or cycling outdoors in polluted air.

Use N95 or equivalent masks when stepping outdoors to reduce inhalation of harmful particles, and use lubricating eye drops if irritation occurs (on advise by a doctor).

For people with Asthma, follow prescribed medical guidance, keep inhalers and essential medication accessible, stay hydrated to reduce airway irritation, and maintain a balanced, antioxidant-rich diet to support respiratory health.

Minimise exposure to indoor pollutants by avoiding incense, candles and other smoke-generating elements during this period.

Speaking on the advisory, Manish Dodeja, Chief Operating Officer, Care Health Insurance, said:

“We are witnessing an unprecedented convergence of various factors impacting our air quality. These have a direct impact on our respiratory health. As a responsible health partner to millions, Care Health Insurance is committed to guiding our policyholders with timely, preventive measures. The use of HEPA filtration is a simple yet highly effective step individuals can take to safeguard their indoor air quality.”

Care Health Insurance continues to monitor environmental health indicators closely and remains committed to issuing timely guidance that supports the well-being of its customers and the broader community.

Air Purifier Demand Climbs 30 Percent Year-On-Year At Croma

~ Delhi NCR alone accounts for nearly three in four air purifiers sold at Croma in 2025 ~

Croma, India’s trusted omni-channel electronics retailer from the Tata Group, has released insights on air purifier purchases based on its 2025 sales data across online and offline channels. The study highlights where the demand originated, evolving customer preferences, and the growing influence of design and technology on buying decisions.

According to the report, Delhi NCR accounted for 72% of all air purifier sales at Croma, reflecting the region’s response to persistent air quality challenges. Maharashtra followed with 12%, and Karnataka contributed 4%, indicating rising awareness and adoption in other states as well.

HEPA filters remain the top choice for customers, thanks to their proven ability to remove airborne particles such as dust, pollen, and mould. Many shoppers also opted for advanced models featuring multi-layered protection—combining pre-filters, activated carbon filters, and UVC LED technology—for comprehensive defence against pollutants and odours.

“Air purifiers are no longer viewed as niche or seasonal products, they’ve become an essential year-round necessity, especially for customers in cities like Delhi NCR. At Croma, our focus is to guide customers in choosing the right purifier based on room size, budget, and health needs, while ensuring they have access to advanced technology and designs that fit seamlessly into their homes.” said a spokesperson at Infiniti Retail ltd.

White is the preferred colour that was witnessed amongst consumer purchases. The study shows that 77 percent of air purifiers sold across India were in white, followed by 19 percent in black and 4 percent in metallic shades. This suggests that customers still prefer neutral, minimalist colours that blend easily with most home interiors.

The study found that the budget range of ₹5,000 to ₹15,000 price band is the largest segment by volume, contributing 49 percent of total air purifier sales at Croma. The super-premium segment is the next big category with a 36 percent contribution, indicating that more customers are ready to invest in higher end products with better coverage and smarter features. Philips and Dyson together commanded 84% of overall air purifier sales at Croma in 2025, reinforcing their leadership in this category.

Croma recorded its highest weekly air purifier sales in a single week alone, which accounted for 27 percent of the company’s annual air purifier sales. As compared to the last year, this year saw an increase of 30 per cent in the purchase of air purifier, proof of the prevailing air quality. This sharp spike reflects how customers increasingly respond to visible pollution alerts, changing weather and news around air quality by quickly upgrading their homes with air purifiers.

Approximately 12 per cent customers also chose to protect their devices with Croma’s ZipCare plans, adding extended warranty and service support to ensure long term performance of their air purifiers.

Croma’s constant analysis of customers’ purchases and existing external conditions ensure they cater to every customer’s requirement.

Friends of Figma Mumbai x f1Studioz Wireframed Designathon Sets The Tone For India’s Next Design Year

The Friends of Figma (FOF) Mumbai x f1Studioz Wireframed Designathon drew an impressive footfall of 250 young creators, early-career designers, and industry leaders, transforming the 24-hour offline event at Atlas SkillTech University ISDI into a vibrant hub of collaboration and rapid prototyping. The event also awarded ₹1,00,000 in cash prizes to the top three winners along with exclusive subscription perks.

Bringing together mentors, practitioners, and top design minds on one platform, the Designathon showcased breakthrough thinking and set the stage for the next year of product and experience design in India. The event featured real-world challenges across domains such as elderly care, financial literacy, nutrition accessibility, and civic participation for the professional track.

A dedicated student track ran in parallel, with 50 ISDI students participating in a focused design sprint evaluated by an independent jury. Their challenges spanned public policy documents, women safety, government service experience, and financial awareness for students.

Across the 24-hour event, the work of participating designers revealed a clear shift in how India’s design ecosystem is evolving. Designers are moving toward systems-first thinking, creating connected and scalable experiences rather than isolated features. This was matched by a growing build and ship mindset, where design extends into rapid prototyping, testing and iteration. The approach reflects a new generation that blends creativity with execution and is increasingly focused on designing products that are inclusive, adaptable and intuitive for India’s diverse user base across languages, abilities and contexts.

The event also highlighted the rise of a community-driven learning culture. India’s design talent is choosing collaborative, mentor-led environments such as designathons, meetups and rapid sprints over siloed learning. This shift is strengthening a vibrant, practice-led ecosystem where knowledge flows through shared problem-solving and hands-on creation, reinforcing the country’s position as a fast-growing hub for user-first design.

Speaking on the momentum created at Wireframed 2025, Dhayan Kumar, Founder and CEO of f1Studioz, said: “The event not only produced strong prototypes but also surfaced clear directional insights on where India’s design industry is headed. What we witnessed at Wireframed went far beyond talent, encapsulating intent, ambition and the willingness to solve real problems with real impact. With this collaboration, we aim to nurture a culture of speed, experimentation, and community — creating a space where ideas move boldly, prototypes evolve intelligently, and meaningful, accessible products take shape for the world.”

Sooraj Nair, Community Lead at Friends of Figma Mumbai said, “Wireframed wasn’t just an event - it was a milestone in Mumbai’s design history. Seeing teams travel from across India to build together under one roof felt like the start of a new era. This is just the beginning; 2026 is going to be even bigger for designers in this country.”

The Wireframed Designathon marks the beginning of a year-long partnership between Friends of Figma Mumbai and f1Studioz, focused on cultivating India’s next generation of product thinkers and experience designers through events, masterclasses, mentorship programs, and industry-led challenges.
