Polycab Marks Electricians’ Day 2026 With Nationwide Outreach

* Engages Over 10,000 Electricians Across India

Polycab India Limited, India’s No. 1 wires and cables company* and a fast-growing FMEG player, marked Electricians’ Day (June 10) with a large-scale nationwide outreach, engaging over 10,000 electricians and their families across multiple cities.

This year, Polycab’s Electricians’ Day evolved into a nationwide movement; spotlighting electricians as the backbone of India’s electrical ecosystem, celebrating their pride and dignity, and underscoring their vital role in enabling safe, reliable living for millions of consumers.

As part of this year’s initiative, Polycab brought consumer attention to the contribution of electricians; positioning them as ‘Electrical Safety Experts’ who play a critical role in everyday life. This was amplified through a social media film encouraging consumers to acknowledge and thank electricians for enabling safe homes and workplaces.

On-ground, Polycab engaged with 10,000+ electricians across 900+ locations. At the heart of these celebrations were ‘Samman Samaroh’ ceremonies across multiple cities, bringing together electricians and their families through recognition, leadership interactions, and community-led celebrations reinforcing Polycab’s belief that electricians are not just service providers, but Partners for Life.

Extending its commitment beyond work, Polycab also conducted healthcare camps with Agilus Diagnostics, offering preventive health check-ups to their Electrician Safety Experts

Further strengthening grassroots engagement, Polycab organised hyperlocal community celebrations, enabling deeper connections, and stronger community bonding.

Through these initiatives, Polycab continues to elevate the status of electricians; driving greater consumer awareness of their role in ensuring safe electrical systems, while creating opportunities for their sustained growth.

Commenting on the initiative, Mr. Ishwinder Singh Khurana, CEO – B2C, Polycab India Limited, said: “India’s growth story is powered by millions of electricians whose skill, dedication, and commitment to safety bring every connection to life. At Polycab, we see them as our Partners for Life - central to our vision of building safe, reliable electrical ecosystems. Through our sustained engagement and the Polycab Experts Program, we are committed not just to recognising their contribution, but to enabling their growth, strengthening capabilities, improving safety awareness, and supporting their long-term growth. As we grow, we remain deeply invested in ensuring that our partners grow with us; together building a future defined by trust, dignity, and shared progress.”

Anchored in its purpose of ‘Connection Zindagi Ka’, Polycab continues to place electricians at the heart of its growth, recognising their contribution while consistently enabling their progress as partners in building a safer, electrified India.

With one of the widest distribution networks in the country, Polycab’s deep last-mile reach goes beyond engagement, empowering electricians with solutions that enhance productivity, improve safety, and driving sustainable business growth.

Over the past year, this commitment has translated into a series of high-impact initiatives; 2,000+ electricians recognised and honoured nationwide, over 8,000 electricians and spouses covered under medical insurance, regular distribution of professional tools to enhance on-site efficiency and service quality

Further strengthening long-term engagement, Polycab has built a strong and growing community through its Polycab Experts Program, with over 2.5 lakh electricians and retailers connected to the platform; reinforcing its commitment to continuous capability building, recognition, and shared growth.

Medtronic Introduces PulseSelect™ PFA Technology To Address India’s Growing AFib And Stroke Burden

Medtronic, a global leader in healthcare technology, has announced the launch of the PulseSelect™ system in India. The PulseSelect™ is a Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) system designed to treat atrial fibrillation, one of the most common heart rhythm disorders and a leading risk factor for stroke.

Affecting over 7 million of the general population, its prevalence markedly increases with age[i].

While AF affects millions of people in India, awareness, diagnosis, and treatment rates remain relatively low. Many patients experience intermittent or mild symptoms that often go unrecognized, leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment.

AF occurs when the heart’s upper chambers (atria) beat irregularly and asynchronously, reducing the heart’s ability to pump blood efficiently and increases the risk of complications such as stroke and heart failure. Common symptoms of AF include breathlessness, dizziness, palpitations, fatigue, chest discomfort, and reduced ability to exercise.

Medtronic’s PulseSelect™ PFA system expands the company’s established atrial fibrillation portfolio, complementing its proven cryoablation technologies that are widely used around the world. Together, these therapies provide physicians with a comprehensive set of treatment options, enabling them to tailor care based on patient needs and procedural considerations while building on Medtronic’s long-standing clinical experience in AF management.

Unlike traditional treatments such as radiofrequency ablation (which uses heat) or cryoablation (which uses extreme cold), pulsed field ablation uses short electrical pulses instead of thermal energy. Because it does not rely on heat or freezing, it is designed to reduce the risk of damage4 to nearby tissues. The procedure can also be performed relatively quickly, which may help lower the risk of complications and support a smoother recovery after treatment 5. The safety and effectiveness of this technology have been demonstrated in Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) clinical trials6.

“India is witnessing a significant rise in stroke and cardiac diseases, with atrial fibrillation (AFib) emerging as a major and often underrecognized contributor to this growing burden. AFib significantly increases the risk of stroke, heart failure, and other serious cardiovascular complications if left untreated, yet it remains severely underdiagnosed and undertreated in the country due to limited awareness and gaps in diagnosis and care pathways. While technology alone cannot solve these systemic challenges, continued innovation plays an important role in strengthening the overall care ecosystem. The launch of the PulseSelect system represents an important step in expanding the treatment options available to physicians in India. At Medtronic, patients remain at the center of everything we do. By introducing this next-generation technology, we aim to support physicians with advanced tools that can help improve procedural precision, enhance safety, and ultimately improve outcomes and quality of life for people living with atrial fibrillation,” said Chandrashekhar Jaiman, Senior Director, Cardiovascular Surgery & Electrophysiology Therapies, Medtronic India.

Cryoablation remains a proven and effective therapy, while the introduction of the PulseSelect™ PFA system reflects Medtronic’s continued commitment to advancing innovative technologies that expand treatment options for physicians and the patients they serve.

All information contained herein is for general awareness purposes only, and nothing contained herein should be construed as medical advice or recommendation. Patients should consult their physician to discuss their conditions and seek relevant medical advice. Outcomes may vary depending on clinical conditions.

About Atrial Fibrillation and Pulsed Field Ablation
AF is one of the most common and undertreated heart rhythm disorders, affecting more than 7 million people in India. 3 AF is a progressive disease, meaning it can become worse over time and can increase the risk of serious complications including heart failure, stroke and increased risk of death.[ii] [iii] [iv] [v] Current ablation technologies rely on thermal effects to target cardiac tissue and risk damage to additional collateral structures in the heart. PFA is a breakthrough ablation technology that uses pulsed electric fields to efficiently isolate the pulmonary veins for the treatment of AF. Because the mechanism of cell death is non-thermal, the risk of collateral structure damage is potentially lower.
