Apollo Hospitals crossed the landmark milestone of 25,000 transplants across its network, reaffirming its leadership in complex, high-acuity care.

Dr. Prathap C Reddy, Chairman, Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Ltd. said: "At Apollo, our mission has always gone beyond treating illness—it is about enabling every individual to live a healthier, happier life. FY25 was a defining year. With revenues crossing ?20,000 crores and Healthcare Services surpassing ?11,000 crores, we are humbled by the trust placed in us across India and beyond.

Technology expanded the possibilities of healing, but compassion remained our foundation. A strong rise in patient volumes is a testament to the deep confidence people have in Apollo’s care and our differentiated Centers of Excellence. As we grow, our focus remains unwavering—making advanced, high- quality care accessible and affordable to all.

To address the rising burden of non-communicable diseases, we are intensifying our preventive care mission. Through Apollo ProHealth, we are set to globally launch pioneering wellness programs that redefine the healthcare landscape — shifting the focus from reactive treatment to proactive, preventive care.

Innovation remains our most powerful ally — from AI-powered diagnostics to precision robotic surgeries, all enabled by a digital backbone that is reimagining the entire patient- care journey, enabling care that is predictive, personalised, and scalable.

We are committed to growth and to the enhancement of our care touchpoints, with new hospitals to be commissioned this year in Pune, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Delhi NCR — and several more in varying stages of development. These state-of-the-art facilities will be equipped with cutting-edge medical technology, reinforcing our commitment to delivering world-class care at scale. Our over ?8,000 crore investment over the next five years will add over 4,300 beds, with the first phase of ~ 2,000 beds already in progress—bringing advanced care closer to communities across India.

We are heartened by the performance of Apollo HealthCo and AHLL, two strong pillars of the integrated care network we have created for the consumer. Apollo Pharmacies crossed 6,600 stores this year and Apollo 24|7 commenced distribution of Insurance products to increase access to care. AHLL has strengthened its capability through its Global Reference Labs and highly specialized test menu updated for the latest medical advancements.

But what truly drives Apollo forward is our people—the doctors, nurses, and caregivers who carry our legacy in every life they touch. Their commitment is creating a healthcare system that is not only clinically world-class but also deeply human.

As we step into FY26, our purpose remains clear: to touch a billion lives, lead with innovation and empathy, and help build a healthier, stronger India for future generations."

Why Managing Thyroid Matters When You Have Diabetes

In India, about 1 in 10 adults have a thyroid disorder, and around 1 in 11 adults live with diabetes.[1] But what many people don’t know is how often these two conditions are connected. In fact, approximately 1 in 4 people with Type 2 diabetes also have hypothyroidism,[2] a condition where the thyroid gland is underactive. This overlap is not coincidental as both conditions affect how the body uses energy.[3]

Understanding the linkage between thyroid & diabetes

The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of the neck, just below the Adam's apple. It regulates the body’s metabolism, which affects how the body uses and stores energy. Thyroid hormones and insulin are like the body's energy managers. Thyroid hormones help control how fast your body uses energy, while insulin helps manage your blood sugar levels. Together, they play a big role in keeping your metabolism running smoothly. So, when the thyroid function is disrupted, it can affect blood sugar control, and vice versa.[4]

Dr Rohita Shetty, Medical Affairs Head, Abbott India said, “People living with diabetes are usually aware of their blood sugar levels and know how to manage the fluctuations. But many symptoms of thyroid disorders might go unnoticed, even though they can impact blood sugar levels.[5] Thyroid health and blood sugar levels are more linked than you might think. That's why it's important to get regular thyroid check-ups. With the right care, thyroid disorders can be managed effectively, allowing people to live healthy and active lives.”

Dr. Mahesh DM, Endocrinologist, Aster CMI Hospital, Bangalore, “Thyroid conditions are often neglected, with a large percentage of the population living with undetected issues and, as a result, not seeking the necessary care. Many people with diabetes may have thyroid problems without noticeable symptoms, which can range from fatigue, memory lapses, sleeping difficulties and excessive weight gain to constipation, dry skin, cold intolerance, muscle cramps, and puffy eyelids. [6] An underactive thyroid can also result in fluctuations in energy levels, weight, mood, and heart rate, as the gland plays an important role in regulating these functions and supporting the body’s healthy development. This is why regular check-ups for thyroid function are important, especially for people with type 2 diabetes.”

Research shows that diabetes combined with thyroid disorders can increase the risk of kidney issues, poor heart function, and issues with blood circulation.[7],[8] These can lead to complications like diabetic retinopathy (happens when high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the retina), nerve damage, and heart disease.[9]

Types of thyroid disorders that influence blood sugar control:[10][11][12]

Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid)

Hypothyroidism slows down how the body processes insulin. This means insulin stays in the bloodstream longer, which can cause unexpected dips in blood sugar. It slows down metabolism, leading to weight gain and increased insulin resistance. This can make it harder to keep blood sugar levels under control. Among people with diabetes, the most common type of thyroid disorder is subclinical hypothyroidism, a condition where your thyroid gland isn’t functioning normally, but there aren’t any visible symptoms.  Type 2 diabetes can also increase the risk of developing hypothyroidism due to changes in how the immune system functions.

Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid)

Hyperthyroidism speeds up metabolism. This causes the body to absorb glucose from food more quickly. However, cells become less responsive to insulin, leading to high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia). This makes it challenging for people with diabetes to maintain stable glucose levels.

Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism affect blood sugar levels, requiring regular monitoring and management.

Managing the Dual Diagnosis

Addressing thyroid dysfunction can help with diabetes control. A healthy diet, regular exercise, and timely medication as advised by your doctor, can help keep both thyroid and blood sugar levels in check.  Regular screening for thyroid function and blood sugar testing, as advised by your doctor, can ensure that any changes are diagnosed early.

Taking care of yourself by staying active, eating well, and getting enough sleep can really help. If you have both thyroid disorders and diabetes, you might need to pay extra attention to your health, by doing so can make you feel better and give you more energy to enjoy your favorite activities.

IDEMITSU Honda Racing India Riders Arrive In Malaysia For 2025 FIM Asia Road Racing Championship Round 2

As the 2025 FIM Asia Road Racing Championship (ARRC) heads towards its second round, the IDEMITSU Honda Racing India team is gearing up for the weekend challenge at Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia.

The Round 2 presents a significant opportunity for IDEMITSU Honda Racing India riders to demonstrate their skill and determination at one of the most demanding and competitive circuits on the 2025 ARRC calendar. The season opener was held in Thailand this April, where young talents Kavin Quintal and Johann Reeves Emmanuel finished their best at 13th position (in race 2) and 15th position (in race 1), respectively. Since then, the team has been refining its approach, with a clear focus on enhancing performance and securing crucial points in the upcoming races.

With a cumulative total of 4 points so far this season, the team remains focused on building momentum and delivering stronger results in the upcoming rounds of the Asia Production 250cc (AP250cc) class, starting with the Round 2.

Sharing his thoughts, Kavin Quintal said, “Sepang is always a demanding circuit — fast, technical, and incredibly challenging. But that's exactly what makes it exciting. Round 1 in Thailand was a mixed bag for me, I knew I had to stay focused and fight hard. Finishing 13th in Race 2 gave me confidence and showed that our efforts are heading in the right direction. We are working on being sharper, faster & more consistent. I am looking forward to taking another step forward in Round 2.”

Looking forward to Round 2, Johann Reeves said, “Round 1 was a big learning experience for me, it showed me what’s possible with focus and determination. Every lap helped me understand the competition better. Sepang is a technical circuit that demands precision, and I have been working closely with the team to improve performance. I am feeling more confident heading into Round 2 and excited to keep building on what we have started.”

Zuno Champions “Mental Health Awareness” With ‘Say Hi’ — A Campaign To Spark Real Connection

Zuno General Insurance, a new-age digital insurer, has launched a heartfelt campaign, ‘Say Hi’, as a reminder of the power of small gestures—especially in today’s fast-paced, hyper-digital world where meaningful connections often take a back seat. Marking with the Mental Health Awareness Month, the campaign encourages people to pause, reconnect, and check in on those around them with just one powerful word: Hi.

When life moves at the speed of scrolls and swipes, genuine connection can get left behind and silent struggles overlooked. We leave messages unread, miss chances to check in, or forget to follow up with the people who matter. Sometimes, the people we pass by every day may be the ones silently struggling. “Say Hi” is rooted in a simple but profound insight: that reaching out — even with just a Hi — can open the door to healing, comfort, or a meaningful conversation.

Behind every screen or silence, someone may be waiting to be heard and seen. Zuno’s latest campaign, ‘Say Hi’, is a reminder that a small gesture can make a big difference.

“At Zuno, ‘easy, breezy, surely’ isn’t just a brand promise, it’s a way of being. We are here to make life a little lighter not just through insurance, but by fostering real, human connections. Our brand’s signature outreach symbol signifies connection, and this campaign brings that philosophy to life. Whether it’s simplifying claims or the act of reaching out, Zuno is committed to making the hard stuff a little easier including talking about mental health,” said Ketan Mankikar, Vice President & Head of Marketing, Zuno General Insurance.

The campaign captures everyday scenarios where moments of disconnection quietly creep in—between colleagues at work, old friends, and even within families through thumb stopper videos and reels. It is being promoted across digital platforms to capture attention and spark reflection.

In addition, Zuno is hosting an interactive AMA (Ask Me Anything) session on Instagram with a mental wellness professional, allowing users to ask questions via comments or DMs. The expert will respond to these queries through a video message on the brand’s social media page, marking the culmination of the initiative.  

The SayHi campaign aims to foster genuine conversations, encourage empathy, because sometimes all it takes is a simple ‘Hi’.

IPRS Leads From The Front As India Records 357% Growth In Royalty Collections As Captured In CISAC’s 2025 Global Report

The Indian Performing Right Society Ltd. (IPRS) welcomes the release of the CISAC Annual Report 2025, which showcases India’s strong growth in royalty collections and outlines a global call for ethical AI regulation in the creative industry.

The report underscores the importance of protecting creators' rights and adapting to technological advancements to ensure fair remuneration and sustainable growth in the music sector. 

India's progress in royalty collections reflects the country's commitment to strengthening its creative economy. The IPRS remains dedicated to supporting music creators and users by providing guidance on music copyright and facilitating legal music usage. As the industry evolves, the IPRS continues to advocate for policies and practices that uphold the rights of creators and promote the responsible use of technology in creativity.

According to the report, total royalty collections in India crossed Rs. 7 billion in FY24-25, reflecting a 42% increase over the previous year, and a 357% growth compared to 2020. This performance has moved India up significantly in global rankings - making it one of the fastest-growing music markets.

The report also highlights IPRS’s ongoing collaboration with CISAC to develop a strategic roadmap aimed at positioning India among the world’s top 10 creative economies. This includes targeted efforts to strengthen digital collections, address non-digital revenue challenges, and improve the licensing and distribution ecosystem.

Sharing his views, legendary creator and IPRS Chairman, Mr. Javed Akhtar, said, “A society that cherishes music must ensure that its creators are not forgotten in the shadows of technology and commerce. The significant rise in royalty collections is more than a number - it is a reflection of growing awareness around intellectual property, fair value for creative work, and the need for compliance across the industry. Yet, many challenges remain - as music travels far and wide in the digital age and AI presents new threats. From educating creators about their rights to ensuring the ethical use of their work across platforms, our mission is far from over.  As a body representing those behind the music, we at IPRS are committed to protecting the rights of every music creator, addressing systemic gaps, and building an ecosystem where creativity is respected, rewarded, and rightfully owned.”

Highlighting the significance of the report Mr. Björn Ulvaeus, CISAC President, mentioned, “We are living through an era of unprecedented transformation. Nowhere is this more evident that in the rise of generative AI – a force that raises fundamental questions about the nature of authorship and creativity. Protecting creators’ rights in no way means trying to stop the advance of technology. On the contrary, it means embracing and licensing AI tools in a safe, legal environment. I say this as the number one fan of AI and of its possibilities for enhancing human creation. What is pre-requisite, however, is that creators’ rights are respected. Upholding creators’ rights is not only about fairness, it’s also about economic good sense.”

Mr. Rakesh Nigam, CEO of IPRS, added, “The remarkable growth in India’s royalty collections reflects not just a rising music economy, but also a growing recognition of creators’ rights - though there is still significant ground to cover. At IPRS, we are proud to lead this transformation—empowering creators, strengthening systems, and working with global partners to raise the standards of copyright governance. As technology reshapes the creative landscape, it is critical that innovation does not come at the cost of artistic integrity. Through strategic collaborations and a robust rights management framework, we remain committed to ensuring that every creator is respected, rewarded, and ready for the future.”

The report also spotlights IPRS’s participation in a global pilot project to link ISWC (musical work codes) with ISRC (sound recording codes), a step that will lead to more accurate and faster royalty payments for Indian creators.

On the global front, CISAC has raised a strong call for regulation of Generative AI. Its newly released Global Economic Study, published in partnership with PMP Strategy, warns that by 2028, music creators could lose up to 24% of their revenues if clear policies around AI-generated content are not implemented.

IPRS supports CISAC’s demands for:

Transparency in AI training data

Mandatory authorisation before use of creative works

Fair compensation for creators

The full CISAC Annual Report 2025 is now available on the IPRS website : https://iprs.org/wp-content/uploads/AG25-0354_CISAC_Annual_Report_2025_2025-05-22_EN.pdf

India SME Forum Concludes Bharat Quality Mission With Strong Call For Phased Implementation Of QCOs To Spur MSME Growth

India SME Forum successfully concluded the Bharat Quality Mission Conference today with a unified call for systemic reform in the implementation of Quality Control Orders (QCOs). The event was organized in partnership with Amazon to educate sellers on growth and compliance. The discussion spotlighted urgent measures required including phased QCO implementation to prevent disruption, sector-specific compliance standards, expanded testing infrastructure, and financial support mechanisms to ease the burden on micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in India.

Themed “Enabling MSMEs for Global Competitiveness”, the event was organized in the wake of growing concerns as narrated by small sellers who have faced escalating challenges due to abrupt implementation of mandatory QCOs since last year like blocked capital and unutilized imported goods. It marked a turning point in industry-regulator dialogue, emphasizing that compliance should be a catalyst—not a constraint—for MSME growth. The conference concluded with the formal submission of a policy recommendations dossier to the Ministries of Consumer Affairs and MSME, Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), and the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT).

Delivering the keynote address as chief guest, Nidhi Khare, Secretary, Department of Consumer Affairs, Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution, said, “When India rejected substandard goods, manufacturing units began shifting to India – bringing investment, technology, jobs, and confidence. This momentum is key to India becoming the third-largest economy, which requires strong manufacturing and globally competitive MSMEs. QCOs boost quality and exports, and adherence to standards is essential. To support this, we are strengthening testing infrastructure across the country with INR 78 crore being invested through BIS. Our aim is to empower MSMEs with the knowledge, tools, and confidence they need to move forward.”

T. Lalit Kumar Singh, Deputy Secretary, DPIIT stated, “Objectives of these QCOs and their enforcement are clear: to strengthen India’s quality infrastructure, enhance consumer product safety, prevent the import and sale of substandard products, attract investment, and reduce the risk of accidents caused by faulty or low-quality goods. We are open to receiving recommendations from the industry and are committed to working on them constructively”.

H.J.S Pasricha, Deputy Director General, BIS added, “Global competitiveness hinges on quality and cost efficiency. The government and institutions like BIS are here to support SMEs develop a strong quality culture. As the national body for standards, BIS brings together manufacturers, research labs, institutes, and experts through over 400 technical committees across 17 sectors. We look forward to actively engaging with industry to shape the standards benchmarks that define our future.”

Vinod Kumar, President of India SME Forum opined, “We heard MSMEs, regulators, and solution providers agree that abrupt enforcement without capacity-building will paralyze small businesses. From delayed certifications to import bottlenecks and one-size-fits-all standards, the challenges are real. Our recommendations aim to drive a national framework that combines global best practices with local realities, ensuring MSMEs aren’t left behind in India’s pursuit of quality. Ultimately, quality must become a shared journey, not an enforced destination. Aligning with global certifications as endorsed by the Ministry of MSME will make MSMEs globally competitive. We are thankful to Amazon for partnering with us on seller compliance awareness.”

One of the key sessions featured Ramaswami Lakshman, Director of Emerging Markets, FBA at Amazon. “Digitization has the power to level the playing field for MSMEs. At Amazon, we are committed to helping Indian sellers – especially from tier 2 and 3 cities – navigate compliance, improve quality, and reach customers across India and globally. Over 12 million MSMEs have already been digitized through our initiatives. We are proud to support initiatives like the Bharat Quality Mission that are essential to shape policy frameworks and can help unlock the full potential of small businesses,” he said.

The conference was attended by over 300 stakeholders including top policymakers, industry leaders, certification authorities, and e-commerce enablers. Built on the momentum of a recent national webinar attended by over 11,000 MSMEs, it featured deep dives into key pain points such as certification delays, testing infrastructure gaps, financial strain from compliance costs, and misalignment with international standards that restrict export competitiveness. With representation from sectors including electronics, food processing, and textiles, the conference established consensus on a roadmap that blends policy reform with tech-driven capacity building.

Young Innovators Take Centre Stage As Samsung ‘Solve For Tomorrow’ Rolls Through Hyderabad And Bengaluru

Samsung ‘Solve for Tomorrow’ Season 4 has made its way to South India, fuelling a wave of youth-driven innovation. Across the dynamic campuses of Hyderabad and the bustling tech hubs of Bengaluru, students are uniting to envision a brighter future for their communities, armed with empathy, purpose, and the principles of design thinking.  

Samsung ‘Solve for Tomorrow 2025’ is a nationwide contest designed to inspire students to create innovative solutions to address some of society’s most pressing challenges by leveraging technology. It will provide INR 1 crore to the top four winning teams to support the incubation of their projects, along with hands-on prototyping, investor connects, and expert mentorship from Samsung leaders and IIT Delhi faculty.

During the ‘Solve for Tomorrow’ roadshow at the University of Hyderabad, hundreds of students immersed themselves in a design-thinking workshop, challenging the status quo and uncovering solutions to everyday problems.  

“For me, the turning point was when the instructor said, ‘There are countless problems in the world, but only a few who take action to solve them,’” said R. Deepika, a Business Analytics student. “That statement inspired me to become one of those problem-solvers and create meaningful impact.”   

Mukta, a Healthcare and Hospital Management student, also experienced a shift in perspective. “This session taught me to think like an entrepreneur. A simple idea can transform the world, and now I’m determined to bring mine to life,” she said.  

The momentum didn’t stop there. At KG Reddy Engineering College in Hyderabad, D. Ganesh Reddy, a BTech Computer Science Engineering student, left the workshop with a clear understanding of how technology can address local challenges.  

“The session showed me that student ideas can lead to real-world change if we approach them with curiosity and structure,” he said.  

Similarly, over 500 students from top institutions like Jain University, Dr. Chandrama Dayanand Sagar Institute of Medical Education and Research, and Kempowda Institute of Medical Sciences gathered to explore design thinking and innovation in action.  

“This workshop opened my eyes to the problems in my own community,” said Joel J, a second-semester BTech student. “For the first time, I realized I could be the one to solve them.”  

A Movement for Innovation  

Across these cities, the workshops have done more than generate ideas—they’ve sparked confidence. Confidence that young minds, with the right mindset and guidance, can drive transformative change.  

As ‘Solve for Tomorrow’ continues its journey across India, it’s not just expanding its reach—it’s unlocking new possibilities. From Hyderabad to Bengaluru and soon to regions like the North-East, the program is cultivating a future powered by student-led innovation.  

Applications are open, and the next generation of problem-solvers is already in motion.  

Let the ideas flow.

General Insurance Council Launches ‘Achha Kiya Insurance Liya’ Campaign To Bridge Awareness Gap For Non-Life Insurance

-       ‘Achha Kiya Insurance Liya’ encourages citizens to see insurance as a smart, everyday financial decision

-       Consumer behavior study reveals key barriers, informing targeted outreach and product innovation

The General Insurance Council (GIC) of India, the apex industry body representing all non-life insurers in India, has launched a nationwide awareness campaign titled ‘Achha Kiya Insurance Liya’. Aligned with the ambitious goal of “Insurance for All by 2047”, the initiative aims to normalize insurance as an everyday financial safeguard and focuses on bridging the significant perception and trust gap in uptake of general insurance.

As per research conducted by General Insurance Council, awareness around insurance products such as motor, life, and health insurance are relatively high—motor insurance being the most purchased at 34%, followed by life at 27% and health at 15%. Other insurance categories such as home, travel, and crop insurance remain underutilized and under-promoted. Penetration in rural areas continues to be low, with the exception of crop insurance, which is largely accessed via bank branches and agricultural service providers. The main triggers for insurance purchase include desire for safety and financial security, compliance with legal mandates (especially in the case of motor insurance), and growing concerns around rising healthcare costs. However, significant barriers continue to hinder widespread adoption.

“There’s a clear disconnect between awareness and action. Insurance is still viewed more as a reluctant expense than a financial shield, the mindset shift is waiting to happen, and it begins with trust and relatability. ‘Achha Kiya Insurance Liya’ is our collective attempt to bring insurance closer to the lives and language of ordinary Indians. This is about demystifying insurance, making it relevant and rewarding not intimidating.”  says, Dr. Tapan Singhel, Chairman, GI Council and MD & CEO, Bajaj Allianz General Insurance Co. Ltd.

In a bid to strengthen India’s financial resilience, the initiative highlights the essential role of general insurance in protecting one’s hard-earned savings and assets from unexpected events such as accidents, medical emergencies, property loss, and travel disruptions. By breaking down common myths and clearly presenting the benefits of various insurance types—including motor, health, home, travel, and crop—the campaign encourages individuals to take proactive steps toward securing their financial future.

The insights from the report shaped the campaign’s core narrative: making insurance conversations more relatable, frequent, and accessible in everyday life. Shifting away from using overwhelming and complex jargon or fear-led, & prescriptive messaging, the campaign showcases everyday stories told by pets to show how helpful insurance can be—highlighting the comfort of being prepared, the peace of having coverage, and the value of smart planning.

As India looks toward achieving universal insurance coverage by 2047 under the IRDAI’s vision, the ‘Achha Kiya Insurance Liya’ campaign is a step in the direction of sector-wide alignment bridging consumer gaps, building trust, and making insurance a mainstream financial choice for all. The General Insurance Council is also encouraging insurance companies to make policies easier to understand, simplify claim processes, and offer flexible payment options. The idea is not just to sell policies but to build enduring confidence in the system, reinforcing the industry’s role as a reliable partner in people’s financial journeys.

About General Insurance Council:

The General Insurance Council a Statutory body has been constituted under section 64C of the Insurance Act, 1938 since 2001 by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI). As an Association of General Insurance Companies in India which includes apart from General Insurers, Standalone Health Insurers, Reinsurers and Specialized Insurers, the General Insurance Council coordinates the growth of the General Insurance industry and supports high quality customer service. The General Insurance Council is an important link between the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India and the non-Life insurance industry. It also takes up   Industry’s issues with the Government. While the Council plays the role envisaged for it by the Insurance Act, it also facilitates overall growth for the industry in a fair and equitable manner in the interest of all stakeholders.  https://www.gicouncil.in/

UPES Collaborates With Salesforce To Empower Next-Gen Digital Talent

* Introducing a future-ready Salesforce skilling initiative for students at UPES

Today, the School of Computer Science (SoCS) at UPES, announced a collaboration with, Salesforce, the world’s #1 AI CRM*, to launch a skilling initiative at UPES, reinforcing the university’s commitment to delivering industry-aligned, real-world education. This first-of-its-kind initiative in Uttarakhand marks a significant milestone for UPES and exemplifies its belief in co-creating future-ready learning ecosystems in collaboration with global industry leaders.

Together, they organised ‘Salesforce Day @ UPES’, focused on the theme “Talent. Purpose. Partners. – Co- Creating the Ecosystem of Tomorrow”. The event brought together leading Salesforce partners, including TCS, Wipro and IBM, who will be supporting the Talent Hub with strategic inputs, mentorship, and certification-backed skilling opportunities for students.

The day began with an ‘Executive Dialogue’ featuring Salesforce leaders, partners, and UPES leadership, followed by Trailblazer engagements, where selected students participated in small-group themed discussions and hands- on workshops led by industry experts. Topics ranged from the ‘College to Cloud’ transition and value of certifications, to cultivating a ‘Client-First Mindset’ and exploring how CRM intersects with creativity. The day culminated in a high-energy student address and panel discussion, which allowed the students to gain direct exposure to real-world industry insights, expectations, and emerging opportunities, through an interaction with Salesforce and partner leaders.

The skilling initiative at UPES SoCS in collaboration with Salesforce was envisioned as a platform that will deliver future-ready Salesforce-certified courses—both paid and free—while also encouraging deeper faculty-industry engagement to ensure continuous curriculum enrichment. Additionally, it will act as a high-impact talent pipeline, connecting UPES students with employment opportunities across Salesforce and its globally renowned network of partners.

With a focus on advanced domains such as AI-enabled customer relationship management, low-code/no-code platforms, customer data platforms (CDP), and workflow automation, the hub will ensure that students are well- prepared for enterprise-level digital transformation projects. These capabilities are aimed at making graduates immediately deployment-ready, enabling them to contribute effectively to the evolving needs of industry.

UPES has consistently focused on skilling its students through robust academia-industry collaborations. This collaboration with Salesforce is the latest addition to this endeavour—creating immersive opportunities in AI, data, cloud, and automation, and preparing the next generation of digital professionals with purpose and precision.

Speaking on the launch, Dr. Vijaysekhar Chellaboina, Dean, School of Computer Science, UPES, said, “The collaboration exemplifies our ethos as the ‘University of Tomorrow’, of integrating real-world industry insights into academic learning. In a digital-first economy, students must not only be well-versed in emerging technologies, but they must also gain industry context and mentorship. With support from Salesforce and its global partners, this hub positions our students at the forefront of digital innovation and enterprise readiness.”

Sanket Atal, Managing Director - Operations & Technology at Salesforce India, shared, “As technology continues to redefine every aspect of how we live, work, and learn, it’s critical that we reimagine how talent is nurtured and prepared for the future. Our collaboration with UPES is a meaningful step in that direction - bringing together academia, industry, and innovation to build a workforce that’s not only digitally fluent but also purpose-driven. By embedding Salesforce skills, tools, and mentorship into the learning journey, we’re equipping students with the certifications, hands-on experience, and industry exposure they need to thrive in an AI-first, digital economy.”

This marks not just a milestone for UPES, but a forward-looking investment in the future of digital education and employability. By enabling deeper partnerships and creating platforms for innovation, UPES continues to shape a learning environment that responds to the evolving needs of industry and empowers students to thrive in a tech- driven world.

Women’s Health Month: Multi-Institutional Study Highlights Role Of Robotic-Assisted Surgery In Reshaping Gynaecological Care In India

·         The study was conducted by analysing data of surgeries performed by using da Vinci technology by five tertiary hospitals for over 10 years

·         This technology is increasingly being used in treating common benign and malignant gynaecological conditions and Its adoption has contributed to fertility preservation in women, along with other benefits like shorter hospital stays, less postoperative pain, and reduced blood loss 

As India observes Women’s Health Month, a study conducted across five tertiary care hospitals by analysing the data of surgeries performed by using the da Vinci technology over a decade is shedding light on how robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) is steadily transforming gynaecological care across the country. The study documents a significant rise in the use of robotic surgery for both benign and malignant conditions and is significant for its implications on access, recovery, and surgical outcomes for women.

The multi-institutional study— ‘Trends in Gynecological Robotic Surgery in India: A Real-World Scenario’—analyzed data from ten years across five hospitals: Apollo Health City (Hyderabad), PGIMER (Chandigarh), Manipal Hospital (Bengaluru), Narayana Health (Bengaluru), and Tata Memorial Hospital (Mumbai). Notably, over 70% of robotic gynaecological procedures took place in the final five years, indicating a strong upward trajectory.

“Women’s Health Month is a time to reflect on how surgical technology innovations like the da Vinci robotic technology are enhancing healthcare outcomes for women,” said Dr. Rooma Sinha, Honorary Professor and Chief Gynaecologist at Apollo Health City, Hyderabad, one of the surgeons who oversaw the study. “Robotic-assisted surgery is increasingly being used to manage benign gynaecological conditions such as fibroids and endometriosis, offering enhanced precision and improved outcomes across a wide range of cases.”

Many studies across the globe show reduced blood loss and faster recovery times for robotic-assisted surgery compared to other modalities. The patients in this study similarly experienced minimal blood loss and faster recovery times. Dr. Sinha, who is also the Founder-President of Association of Gynecological Robotic Surgeons, noted that “Even in cases involving large fibroids or endometriosis, we were able to keep blood loss low, recovery times short, and port-site pain/discomfort minimal. That matters a lot in a country like India, where patients often travel long distances for care and want to return home quickly.”

Patient body mass index (BMI) was comparable across both groups, suggesting that RAS outcomes are consistent regardless of weight. Improvements were also noted in surgical workflow, including reductions in docking time as teams became more experienced.

“We have seen that with robotic procedures, women often spend less time in the hospital and experience fewer complications related to blood loss,” said Dr. Vanita Jain, Head of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at PGIMER, Chandigarh, who was also part of the study. “It is not just about using new technology—it is about making recovery more manageable, especially for women who are balancing responsibilities at home and work.”

The study found that fibroids were the most common benign indication for robotic surgery, followed by endometriosis, adenomyosis, vault prolapse, and ovarian cysts. These conditions often require careful dissection and suturing, particularly when fertility preservation is important.

“Myomectomy, or the removal of fibroids while preserving the uterus, especially calls for such precision,” explained Dr. Subhas C Saha, Professor, Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, PGIMER, Chandigarh, another key facilitator of the study. “Advanced robotic systems like the da Vinci platform offer us better visualisation and manoeuvrability, which can make a real difference in these challenging cases.” 

While more public and private insurers are beginning to include robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) in their coverage, the study highlights that there is still room to improve affordability and access. To optimise value and accessibility, surgeons are refining techniques—using fewer robotic arms and incorporating multifunctional instruments—to reduce costs while still delivering high-quality care and better patient outcomes.

“Given the clear benefits demonstrated in studies like this, there is a strong case for insurance payers to further expand coverage for robotic-assisted surgery. Broader, streamlined reimbursement support can help ensure more women across India have access to advanced surgical options,” Dr. Saha added.
