An Appeal To Donate For A 55 Year-Old-Mother - Kochurani Suffering From Stage 4 Lung Cancer

Kochurani, a vibrant 55-year-old, suddenly found her world turned upside down when she received the devastating diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer in February 2024. A cherished wife and mother of two, she had always been the beacon of strength and hope for her family and friends.

The Diagnosis:

It all began innocuously with a persistent dry cough in October 2023. Despite diligent adherence to prescribed medications, the cough lingered, prompting further investigation. A plain CT scan initially revealed pneumonia, leading to a two-week hospitalization for treatment. Yet, the cough persisted, prompting a contrast CT scan, which unveiled a concerning mass growth in her left lung. Subsequent lung biopsy confirmed the dreaded diagnosis: lung adenocarcinoma at an advanced stage.

Further tests, including a PET CT scan, revealed the aggressive nature of the cancer, which had metastasized to her right lung, bones, backbone, collar bone, pelvic regions, and the lining of the liver. Amidst escalating pain levels, she underwent radiotherapy to alleviate suffering while awaiting mutation analysis results.

The mutation test results unveiled a rare variant, ERBB2 Exon 20 Insertion, occurring in only 1-5% of adenocarcinoma cases, presenting a daunting treatment challenge. Recommended treatment protocol involved chemotherapy coupled with immunotherapy as the primary line of defence, followed by targeted therapy as the secondary approach. Each cycle of treatment required once every three weeks is a lifeline for Kochurani, promising a second chance to come back to Normal life.

The Plea:

While the family has exhausted savings and incurred loans for a sum of 6,50,000 INR to cover initial treatment costs, the staggering expenses for ongoing care, totalling 26,40,000 INR, looms large. This financial burden threatens to disrupt Kochurani's crucial treatment regimen, jeopardizing her fight for a second chance at life.

In this time of dire need, we humbly appeal to the kindness and generosity of compassionate souls. Your contribution, no matter the size, will make an immense difference in Kochurani's battle against cancer. Together, let us ensure she receives the timely treatment and care she so urgently requires, providing solace and support to her loving family in their time of need.

MTR 100th Year Celebration Continues With 'MTR Karunadu Swada' At The Jayamahal Palace From May 4-5, 2024

Mavalli Tiffin Room (commonly known as MTR) restaurant opened in Bangalore in 1924 by Yagnanarayana Maiya. On its 100th year, continuing with celebrations, it's back with the 3rd edition of its iconic Food Festival – MTR Karunadu Swada. This cherished food festival is being held on May 4-5, 2024 at Jayamahal Palace Convention Centre in Bangalore with an aim to delight the hearts of consumers and make them experience often-forgotten recipes from various parts of Karnataka. The festival was inaugurated by Hon’ble Mr. Justice N. Santosh Hegde, Former Solicitor General of India. Also present were Sanjay Sharma, CEO of Orkla India, Sunay Bhasin, CEO MTR and members of the founding Maiya family. 

Under the leadership of MTR’s cuisine centre of excellence, over 50 home chefs are showcasing more than 100 dishes from six regions of Karnataka, including Uttara Karnataka, Kodagu, Dakshina Kannada, Kalyana Karnataka, Udupi and Hale Mysuru, taking the attendees on a sensory journey through the state's culinary legacy. MTR Karunadu Swada is a one stop celebration of Kitchens across Karnataka, using locally sourced ingredients, unique spice blends and recipes passed on through generations.

On this occasion, the brand is extending this unique experience beyond the food festival by launching a special recipe book which is inspired by the dishes showcased at the festival. The book features a curated collection of over 100 forgotten recipes from Karnataka, allowing people to recreate these forgotten dishes at home.

Mr. Sunay Bhasin, CEO MTR, expressed his thoughts, “MTR Karunadu Swada is born out of MTR’s love for the food and culture of Karnataka. It is a celebration of Karnataka's diverse flavours and our commitment to uphold the rich culinary heritage of the state. With evolving consumer needs and fast-paced lifestyles, we've inadvertently lost touch with traditional recipes and flavours that once defined our culture. This food festival serves as a bridge back to our roots, a heartfelt effort to preserve a piece of Karunadu heritage through these treasured dishes.”

In addition to the gastronomic experience, the event features celebrated Karnataka dance forms like Yakshagana and Dollu Kunitha, making it a complete cultural immersion, and highlighting Karnataka's vibrant artistic traditions.

Fortis Hospital Bannerghatta Achieves Breakthrough In Cardiac Care, Successfully Treats 87-Year-Old With Severe Heart Blockages

Fortis Hospital Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru, successfully treated Mr. Reddy, an 87-year-old resident from Anantapur, who experienced severe breathlessness and chest pain. These symptoms led to the diagnosis of critical heart blockages caused by calcium deposits. Dr. Srinivas Prasad BV, Consultant-Interventional Cardiology, Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru, used the state-of-the-art Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) technology to address the complexities of Mr. Reddy's condition. This innovative technique breaks down the calcium while minimizing vessel wall trauma allowing the surgery to be completed efficiently within 45 minutes. Mr. Reddy was able to go home just three days following the procedure, marking another success in advanced cardiac care by Fortis Hospital Bannerghatta.

Mr. Reddy was referred to Fortis Hospital Bannerghatta due to the unavailability of the required resources in Anantapur to perform the surgery. After a comprehensive evaluation, it was revealed that Mr. Reddy had experienced a mild heart attack caused by the calcific blockages in his coronary arteries. The blockages led to chest pain and breathlessness, impacting his daily activities. Given the urgency and complexity of his case, Dr. Srinivas Prasad BV opted for a minimally invasive procedure called percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to open the blocked arteries and restore normal blood flow. This procedure was complemented using Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) technology, which efficiently breaks down the calcium deposits while minimizing damage to the vessel wall.

Dr Srinivas Prasad BV, consultant - Interventional Cardiology, Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru, emphasized the necessity of employing advanced technology over conventional methods. He stated, "The patient had calcium deposits in the heart, which complicated the feasibility of conventional angioplasty (a procedure used to widen narrowed or blocked blood vessels to improve blood flow). Therefore, we opted to proceed with Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) and Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) to open the blocked arteries, restore normal blood flow, and crush the calcium deposits. Following the crushing of the calcium deposits, a balloon was inserted into the artery to open the arterial blocks, and a stent (a small, metal mesh tube) was placed inside the blockages to help keep them open.”

Thanking the medical team Mr Reddy (Patient) said. “I am immensely grateful to Dr. Srinivas Prasad and the entire team at Fortis Hospital Bannerghatta for their exceptional care and expertise. Their dedication and skill restored my health and provided me with reassurance and comfort throughout my journey. I cannot thank them enough for the support, care, and life-saving treatment they provided.”

Mr. Akshay Oleti, Business Head, Fortis Hospitals, Bengaluru, said, "We are deeply gratified to have been able to offer Mr. Ramesh the highest standard of care, leveraging our state-of-the-art facilities and expertise in cardiac interventions. By employing advanced technologies like Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL), we could navigate the complexities of his condition with precision and efficacy. This successful outcome not only showcases our dedication to providing exceptional patient care but also reaffirms our ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence in cardiovascular medicine."

IN-SPACe Releases Norms, Guidelines And Procedures (NGP) For Implementation Of Indian Space Policy 2023

Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Centre (IN-SPACe) was constituted in October 2021 as part of the far-reaching reforms in the space sector brought out by the Government of India, aiming towards boosting private sector participation in the entire range of space activities. IN-SPACe was created with a mandate to regulate and authorize all space activities undertaken by the Government entities and Non-Government Entities (NGEs), along with its role as a promoter, enabler and supervisor for the NGEs engaged in the space activities in the country.

The release of Indian Space Policy-2023 in April 2023 by the Government of India was a watershed moment for the Indian space sector. This policy permitted NGEs to participate in space activities end-to-end. In line with the role of IN-SPACe defined in ISP-2023, IN-SPACe has formulated and released today the Norms, Guidelines and Procedures (NGP) for implementation of the Indian Space Policy 2023 in respect of Authorization of Space Activities.

The NGP would complement Government endeavour in providing predictable regulatory regime, transparency and ease of doing business in Indian space sector. The NGP document lists space activities which need authorization from IN-SPACe, specifies criteria for granting such authorizations and provides necessary guidelines/pre-requisites to be fulfilled by an Applicant for making authorization application to IN-SPACe. The NGP document can be viewed and downloaded from IN-SPACe digital portal (www.inspace.gov.in)

Coforge Records Weak Operating Performance; Cigniti Acquisition To Support FY27 Goals

SELL

TARGET PRICE (Rs) : 5,200

Coforge posted weak Q4 results – revenue and margin both missed estimates. Deal intake grew >2x in Q4, QoQ and YoY, on the back of a large renewal deal (USD400mn TCV; 6Y tenure). NTM executable orderbook grew 5%/17% QoQ/YoY; growth was slower than the deal intake on higher share of renewal. Mgmt refrained from giving quantitative revenue guidance, unlike in prior few years, due to market uncertainty. Coforge has entered into a share purchase agreement with promoters/select public shareholders of Cigniti Technologies, for acquiring up to ~54% stake for cash consideration of Rs1,415/sh, to scale new verticals/improve US presence. We cut FY25E/26E EPS by 15.3%/11.8%, factoring-in the Q4 miss, slower revenue and weak margin trajectory. We do not incorporate the Cigniti acquisition in our estimate, awaiting more clarity. Given the soft margin trajectory, potential equity dilution, and merger-related risks, we cut target PER to 28x (from 30x). Despite the 10%/22% correction in stock price in the last 1M/3M, we believe valuation is rich as the earnings cut remains rather severe; retain REDUCE; cut TP to Rs5,200 at 28x Mar-26E EPS.

Results Summary

Revenue grew 1.7% QoQ (1.9% cc) to USD286.8mn, lower than our estimate of USD290.2mn. For FY24, the company delivered revenue growth of 13.3% YoY (in cc), close to the lower end of its guidance of 13-16%. Adjusted EBITDAM (excluding ESOP and acquisition related expenses) expanded by 100bps QoQ to 19%, and missed Management guidance of 150-200bps expansion as well as our expectation of 19.7%. Reported EBITM missed our estimates by 120bps due to the adjusted EBITDAM miss and higher ESOP costs. Revenue growth was led by BFS (6.6% QoQ) and Travel (1%). The insurance vertical was flat, whereas other emerging verticals declined (-2%). Total TCV of fresh-order intake was USD774mn (including 2 large deals) vs USD354mn in Q3. Executable order book over the next 12 months is USD1,019m compared with USD974mn in Q3. The quarter saw 8 new client additions. Headcount grew 0.5% QoQ to 27,726. The company declared a final dividend of Rs19 per share. What we liked: Strong deal wins, traction in BFS. What we did not like: EBITM miss and guidance trajectory.

Earnings Call KTAs

1) Company has agreed to enter into a share purchase agreement with the promoters and select public shareholders of Cigniti Technologies, to acquire up to ~54% stake (between ~51% and ~54%, depending on the open offer outcome). It intends to merge both companies via share swap, after obtaining shareholder approval post-open offer. 2) Cigniti acquisition will help Coforge grow into a USD2bn firm by FY27, with ensuing synergies aiding it to improve margin by 150-250bps over the same period (more details ahead). 3) Demand environment remains challenging amid macro uncertainties, though Mgmt expects all verticals to register growth. 4) Order intake for Q4 was USD774mn, with 8 new client logos being added. This quarter included 2 large deals: a USD400mn 6-year deal in the BFS vertical, and a USD55mn 3-year deal in the insurance vertical. Company ended FY24 with its highest-ever order intake of USD1.97bn. 5) Management is confident about delivering robust growth in FY25, backed by a 17.3% higher executable order book YoY. 6) Mgmt. believes that gross margin and adjusted EBITDAM will expand by 50bps each in FY25. Reported EBITDAM should remain flat in FY25 due to higher ESOP costs (50-60bps higher YoY due to first year of the new ESOP scheme). It expects 70-80bps margin tailwinds in ESOP costs in FY26. 7) Weakness in travel was on account of the largest account in the vertical being under immense pressure. Ex this, travel vertical would have grown in double digits. This account is bottoming out now. 8) BFS continues to lead the growth in FY24, while Insurance has turned around smartly.
