The new dealerships will retail the complete Harley-Davidson portfolio in India, spanning globally sourced CBU (Completely Built Unit) models as well as the Hero MotoCorp manufactured Harley-Davidson X440, X440 T and the variants.

AIG Hospitals Launches South India’s First ZAP-X® Gyroscopic Neuro-Radiosurgery Platform

*  Transforming Brain Tumor Treatment into a Non-Invasive Day-Care Procedure

AIG Hospitals announced the launch of the ZAP-X® Gyroscopic Neuro-Radiosurgery® Platform, the first installation of its kind in South India and only the second in the country, marking a major advancement in the treatment of brain tumors and complex neurological disorders. Designed exclusively for intracranial radiosurgery, ZAP-X enables doctors to treat brain lesions with extreme precision that too without open surgery, without incisions, and as a day-care procedure.

The system delivers highly focused radiation beams with sub-millimeter accuracy, targeting tumors and abnormal tissues while sparing healthy brain structures. For patients, this means a completely non-invasive treatment that is painless, requires no hospital stay, and allows them to return to normal life quickly.

Brain tumors and related neurological disorders represent a growing health burden in India. Traditionally, many of these conditions have required complex neurosurgery involving craniotomy, prolonged hospitalization, and significant recovery time. Stereotactic radiosurgery has emerged globally as a safer alternative for carefully selected cases, and the introduction of ZAP-X at AIG Hospitals brings one of the world’s most advanced neuro-radiosurgical technologies to patients across South India.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. D. Nageshwar Reddy, Chairman, AIG Hospitals, said “At AIG Hospitals, our vision has always been to bring the most advanced medical technologies to patients in a manner that makes high-quality care both accessible and patient-centric. The introduction of the ZAP-X Gyroscopic Radiosurgery Platform represents a major step in that direction. Conditions that once required complex brain surgery can now be treated with extraordinary precision, as a day-care procedure and without a single incision. For patients and families, this means less trauma, faster recovery, and renewed hope. We believe this technology will significantly benefit patients across Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and neighboring regions, while further strengthening Hyderabad’s position as a center of excellence for advanced neurological care.”

The ZAP-X platform is designed to treat a wide range of intracranial conditions, including benign and malignant brain tumors, brain metastases, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), trigeminal neuralgia, and other complex neurological disorders. Highlighting the clinical scope of the technology, Dr. Subodh Raju, Director & Head – Neurosurgery, AIG Hospitals, said “Modern neurosurgery increasingly focuses on precision and minimal invasiveness. With ZAP-X, we are able to treat several brain conditions that previously required open surgery or complex radiotherapy protocols. This includes benign tumors such as meningiomas and acoustic neuromas, malignant tumors, vascular malformations, and severe facial pain conditions like trigeminal neuralgia. AIG Hospitals has built a strong multidisciplinary ecosystem involving neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, neuroradiologists, and medical physicists, ensuring that each patient receives a carefully coordinated treatment plan. Our goal is to deliver the best possible outcomes while preserving neurological function and quality of life.”

One of the areas where ZAP-X is expected to make a particularly significant impact is in the treatment of brain metastases, tumors that spread to the brain from cancers elsewhere in the body, most commonly from the lung, breast, or melanoma.

Brain metastases are among the most common brain tumors worldwide. Traditionally, treatment options have included open surgery or whole-brain radiation therapy, which can expose large areas of the brain to radiation and may lead to side effects affecting cognition and quality of life. In contrast, ZAP-X allows doctors to target only the tumor deposits with extreme precision, minimizing radiation exposure to healthy brain tissue.

Studies have shown that this focused approach can significantly improve outcomes, especially for patients who may have multiple small metastases, allowing them to receive effective treatment without the need for invasive surgery or prolonged hospital stays.

Prof. John R. Adler, renowned neurosurgeon, inventor of CyberKnife® and ZAP-X®, and one of the world’s foremost pioneers in radiosurgery, emphasized the broader potential of the technology adding “Radiosurgery has evolved tremendously over the past three decades, and ZAP-X represents the next generation of this field. While brain tumors remain a primary indication, the precision of this technology also opens up exciting possibilities in the treatment of functional neurological conditions such as trigeminal neuralgia, movement disorders, and now we are seeing trials to treat depression as well. The goal has always been to treat disease with surgical accuracy but without the invasiveness of traditional surgery. It is gratifying to see institutions like AIG Hospitals bringing this level of innovation to patients in India.”

The installation of ZAP-X at AIG Hospitals also reinforces Hyderabad’s growing reputation as a hub for advanced healthcare technology and medical innovation, offering patients access to world-class treatment closer to home.

With its ability to treat complex brain conditions through precise, non-invasive, outpatient radiosurgery, the ZAP-X platform is expected to benefit thousands of patients across India and neighboring regions, transforming the landscape of brain tumor care and neurological treatment.

International Women’s Day Is A Reminder To Empower Women With Right Skills And Opportunities Who Can Help Transform Economies

This article highlights views of some leading Indian woman from all walks of life, who have risen to top management and entrepreneurs over the years.

Manisha Dubey, Head of IDEMIA India Foundation and VP – Marketing Communications & Brand at IDEMIA

“International Women’s Day is a reminder that empowering women with the right skills and opportunities can transform communities and economies. At IDEMIA India Foundation, we are committed to advancing digital inclusion by equipping women with future-ready skills in technology and innovation. Our initiatives focus on access to learning, mentorship, and meaningful career pathways, especially for those from underserved backgrounds. When women are empowered to participate fully in the digital economy, they not only build stronger futures for themselves but also drive sustainable progress for society. Investing in women’s potential is investing in a more inclusive and resilient tomorrow.”

Vasudha Madhavan, Founder & CEO, Ostara Advisors

“International Women’s Day is a moment to spotlight the growing role of women entrepreneurs and investors who are redefining the future of climate finance and clean energy. Across markets, more women are building ventures, mobilizing capital, and driving solutions that support a low-carbon and more resilient economy. The climate transition needs diverse leadership, and there is immense scope for women to shape how capital, technology, and policy come together to build the next generation of sustainable businesses. I strongly encourage more women to explore opportunities in climate tech and climate-focused sectors, where their ideas and leadership can make a real difference. Creating stronger support systems, access to funding, and leadership opportunities will help more women step forward and scale impactful climate solutions worldwide.”

Simmi Dhamija, Chief Operating Officer, AIONOS,

“AI today is at an inflection point when it comes to gender inclusion. On one hand, we’ve made visible progress: there is far greater awareness of bias and more deliberate efforts to audit datasets and models. But the reality is, much of AI still reflects the structural inequalities it learns from. Nearly half of AI systems studied globally continue to exhibit gender bias and women remain underrepresented in the very teams building these technologies. This creates a deeper challenge: we are not just inheriting bias; we are at risk of scaling it. From hiring algorithms to healthcare models and even everyday interfaces, AI can unintentionally reinforce stereotypes or overlook gender-specific needs. The shift we now need is from ‘bias correction’ to ‘inclusive design by default.’ That means diverse development teams, context-aware datasets and AI systems that are tested not just for accuracy, but for equity. Because the true measure of AI maturity will not be how intelligent these systems are, but how fairly they serve everyone.”

Kavitha Ramachandragowda, Co-Founder & Executive Director, Routematic

“Gender equality is no longer an emblematic dialogue; it is a strategic industry priority. Genuine progress is reflected in who gets hired, who advances into leadership, and who feels supported enough to build long-term careers. Inclusion cannot rely on intent alone; it must be embedded into systems, infrastructure, and everyday decision-making.

At Routematic, we recognise that safe and reliable mobility is a critical enabler of workforce participation, particularly for women. When organisations invest in equitable hiring, leadership pathways, and safety-first, technology-driven transport solutions, they remove structural barriers that often go unnoticed. Equality must be experienced in daily operations — not discussed once a year. The goal is simple: create workplaces where opportunity is determined by capability, and growth is accessible to all.”

Jermina Menon, Brand & Marketing Strategiest, Bhartiya Urban

Marketing centric option: “Women today are not just consumers of brands; they are architects of culture and community. The most impactful marketing strategies emerge when diverse perspectives shape storytelling, experience design, and brand purpose. Women bring empathy, intuition, and data-backed insight together, enabling brands to move beyond transactions toward meaningful engagement. This Women’s Day, the focus must shift from representation in campaigns to representation in decision-making rooms where brand narratives are truly shaped.”

Generic option: “Women’s Day is a reminder that resilience, clarity, and innovation are powerful forces women bring to every table. True leadership is not about securing a seat; it is about building new tables where more women can lead, influence, and thrive. Empowerment cannot remain a theme for a day, it must become a growth strategy embedded in how we measure success, allocate opportunity, and amplify voices. When women stop underestimating their worth and start claiming space with confidence and purpose, industries don’t just diversify, they transform.”
