Birla Fertility & IVF Mangalore Turns Multiple IVF Failures Into Success With Personalised Care

Birla Fertility & IVF Mangalore helped a couple from Kerala fulfil their dream of parenthood with twin babies after enduring years of emotional strain and multiple failed IVF cycles at various other clinics. Under the guidance of Dr. Gaurav Gujarathi, Senior Consultant & Centre Head at Birla Fertility & IVF Mangalore, a personalised treatment strategy based on an in-depth clinical evaluation of the couple’s condition was implemented.

The couple, aged 40 (wife) and 45 (husband), had been through a long and emotionally exhausting journey, facing several failed IVF attempts over the years, with each setback taking a toll on their mental and emotional well-being, leading them to disappointment, and a growing sense of hopelessness. Despite exploring various treatment options and visiting multiple clinics, they were unable to conceive after multiple IVF cycles using both self and donor eggs. The couple then turned to Birla Fertility & IVF Mangalore for a solution to their concerns.

At Birla Fertility & IVF Mangalore, a comprehensive assessment revealed that the female partner had a diminished ovarian reserve, while the male partner was diagnosed with reduced sperm motility, as well as abnormal sperm size and shape. Additionally, the female partner consistently showed a favourable endometrial lining during her natural cycles. Based on this, Dr. Gaurav Gujarathi recommended a modified natural cycle IVF, incorporating donor eggs and the husband’s sperm to best address the couple’s specific clinical profile.

Giving details of the case, Dr. Gaurav Gujarathi, Senior Consultant & Centre Head at Birla Fertility & IVF Mangalore, said, “This couple had endured the emotional toll of multiple IVF failures, we developed a tailored treatment plan that addressed both their medical and emotional needs. Given the wife’s low ovarian reserve and the husband’s sperm challenges, we opted for a modified natural cycle IVF to minimise the physical and emotional strain of medications, optimising their chances of pregnancy.”

“Additionally, we used Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, which involves taking a concentrated form of the patient's own blood cells and applying it to the uterine lining. This makes the lining thicker and healthier, helping the embryo attach better. After that, we carefully placed two high-quality embryos into the wife’s uterus. This was an important step to give the embryos the best chance to grow and develop.” Dr. Gujarathi added.

After years of uncertainty and emotional hardship, the couple was overjoyed to learn that the treatment had been successful. The wife conceived and gave birth to healthy twins, marking a moment of immense relief and joy for a couple who had endured significant challenges throughout their journey.

At Birla Fertility & IVF, we believe in offering care that goes beyond just medical treatment. Our approach focuses on providing individualised care that addresses both the physical and emotional needs of our patients. We understand that each couple’s journey is unique, and through advanced medical techniques, cutting-edge technology, and compassionate support, we aim to help our patients navigate their path to parenthood. We are thrilled that this approach led to success for this couple, bringing them the joy they had longed for.

Accor And InterGlobe Forge A New Landmark Partnership To Redefine Hospitality In India

·         A unified and autonomous organization between two historical partners to capture India’s booming hospitality market

·         The objective is to create India’s fastest-growing hospitality business with an ambitious network target of 300 hotels under Accor’s brands by 2030

In a groundbreaking move set to transform India’s hospitality landscape, Accor, a global hospitality leader, and InterGlobe, India’s foremost travel conglomerate, announced today the strengthening of their partnership to create India’s fastest-growing Hospitality Enterprise - offering an unmatched network, a portfolio of brands and distribution across all market segments. With the ambition of capturing India’s booming hospitality market and combining the strengths of global leaders across the industry, the new platform will target a network of 300 hotels under Accor brands by 2030.

A STRATEGIC ALLIANCE BUILT ON STRENGTH

This landmark partnership combines the unique strengths of each stakeholder:

·       Accor, a leading global hospitality group, has established an impressive presence in India over the last many years, and currently operates 71 hotels in the country with 40 more in development, spanning from economy to luxury brands. Through this alliance, Accor will significantly expand its footprint and streamline operations, deepening its commitment to solid growth in the Indian market across all segments from economy to lifestyle and luxury.

·       InterGlobe, a leading Indian conglomerate, brings its unparalleled expertise in travel and hospitality, coupled with a proven entrepreneurial track record in aviation (IndiGo), hotels (in India and Internationally), airline management, logistics, travel and AI enabled technology. InterGlobe is the largest stakeholder of IndiGo, India’s largest airline with over 400 aircraft serving over 130 destinations with more than 2200 daily flights, carrying over 118 million passengers in FY 25. It is one of the most valued airlines globally in terms of market capitalization.

UNLEASHING INDIA’S HOSPITALITY POTENTIAL

·         With an economy growing at an estimated ~7 % GDP rate and a population of 1.4 billion, India is on track to become the world's fifth-largest outbound travel market and third-largest domestic travel market by 2027. A rapidly emerging middle class, improved infrastructure, and increased air connectivity have fueled an unprecedented boom in domestic tourism and international travel, notably into the Middle East and Asia Pacific, where Accor is the leading hotel operator.

·         India’s hotel industry remains highly fragmented, presenting a major opportunity for organized, branded players. By strengthening its long-lasting strategic partnership with InterGlobe, Accor aims to unlock India’s full hospitality potential, leading the transformation of the sector while catering to Indian travelers both domestically and globally.

A BOLD EXPANSION STRATEGY

This strategic collaboration between Accor and InterGlobe is structured around the following key initiatives:

Creating a hospitality powerhouse covering all segments

·         Accor and InterGlobe will bring together their currently owned assets, development and management businesses in the country to form one autonomous, integrated platform.

·         This new entity will become the exclusive vehicle for growing all Accor brands in India, including luxury and lifestyle brands from Ennismore, Accor’s fast-growing hospitality portfolio.

·         Accor will continue to lead operations and brand management and provide full access to its brands and services.

Exclusive partnership with Treebo

·         Treebo, one of India’s leading branded budget hotel platforms, manages 800 hotels across 120 cities through its unique tech-driven approach and efficient distribution systems.  Accor and InterGlobe will jointly invest in and become the largest shareholder in Treebo. Treebo will take the lead to develop the Ibis and Mercure brands in India through a master license agreement.

·         Under this partnership, Treebo reached an agreement with various property owners to sign ten new Mercure’s, marking a significant milestone in the brand’s expansion in India.

·         Accor’s brands will leverage Treebo’s state of the art technology to tap into India’s vast unbranded hotel market and accelerate growth. The combined Accor and Treebo portfolio will create India’s third-largest hospitality player, with over 30,000 rooms.

A GAME-CHANGER FOR INDIAN HOSPITALITY AND FOR ACCOR BRANDS IN INDIA

With a shared vision and a common ambition of transforming India’s hospitality industry, this alliance between InterGlobe and Accor is poised to turbocharge Accor’s presence in India with a target of 300 hotels under the Accor brands by 2030. By combining Accor’s global hospitality expertise, InterGlobe’s deep market knowledge and entrepreneurial approach, and leveraging Treebo’s innovative tech-driven successful hospitality operations, this partnership is poised to redefine the hospitality landscape in India.

Sébastien Bazin, Chairman & CEO of Accor said: "This landmark partnership marks a transformative moment for Accor and its brands in India. By aligning with our long-term successful and trusted partner InterGlobe and bringing together the best of hospitality, tech and entrepreneurship in India, we are unlocking unprecedented growth potential in one of the world’s most exciting travel markets”.

Rahul Bhatia, Group Managing Director, InterGlobe Enterprises added, “At InterGlobe, we have always believed in our commitment to building meaningful and enduring relationships with both our partners and the guests we serve.

Together with InterGlobe’s deep market insights, Accor’s world-class services, India’s dynamic growth and evolving travel landscape, we aim to redefine the hospitality experience by offering exceptional value to our guests and setting new standards for excellence in the industry.”

Mumbai Ends Delhi’s Run As Most Forgetful City; Wedding Saree, Gold Biscuit Among Unique Items Left Behind In Ubers In 2024

*        Uber’s Annual Lost and Found Index gives a peek into items forgotten by riders in their Uber

*        Pune 3rd most forgetful city, Hyderabad least forgetful among metropolitan cities

Uber has released the 9th edition of its Lost and Found Index, a snapshot of the most frequently forgotten items, the most forgetful cities, as well as the days of the week and times of the year when Uber riders tend to be most forgetful.

Mumbai edged out Delhi to bag the title of the most forgetful city in the country, ending the National Capital’s two-year run at the top. Pune jumped up two places to end 2024 as the 3rd most forgetful city, even as Bangalore dropped a place to 4th. Kolkata made an entry into the ‘top 5’, claiming a spot as the 5th most forgetful city during the year gone by. Backed by insights and data, Uber’s Lost and Found Index aims to educate riders in a fun yet informative manner about in-app options available to them at the tap of a button, in case they lose or forget something in their Uber during their trip.

Over the last year, objects including bags, earphones, phones, and wallets topped the list of items left in Ubers across India, followed by spectacles, keys and clothing. Jet-lagged Indians also made a habit of forgetting their passports in Ubers during 2024.

In terms of unique items left behind in Ubers, a rider forgot their wedding saree, while another forgot a gold biscuit. Forgetting either of those two items in a street-hailed vehicle with no option to retrieve it could have been a big jolt to both. A rider forgot 25 kilograms of ‘cow ghee’ in their Uber, while another forgot their cooking stove - both of those losses had the potential to ruin dinner plans.  

Commenting on the Index, Shiva Shailendran, Director - Consumer and Growth, Uber India South Asia, said, “We’ve all been there - that facepalm moment when we realised we forgot a cherished belonging in a cab. At Uber, we've made it easy to retrieve lost items with just a few steps in our app. We appreciate the trust our riders place in us each time they choose Uber, and we believe it's the perfect moment to offer a quick refresher on how to recover items left behind.”

Analyzing the patterns:

*        Saturdays were the peak days for Uber riders to forget their belongings.

*        Red-colored items were the most commonly forgotten in Ubers, followed by blue and yellow.

*        The likelihood of forgetting items increases in the evenings, with 7 PM being the prime time for such occurrences.

*        Samsung device users were notably more prone to forgetfulness over the past year.

*        The highest number of items left in Ubers occurred on festive days.

*        Among major cities, riders from Hyderabad were the least likely to forget their items.

TCS, Accenture, And Infosys Rank Top 3 On LinkedIn’s 2025 Top Companies India List

* Companies from Finance, IT and Software sectors together claim 19 of the 25 spots

* Fidelity Investments (#4), ServiceNow (#17), and Stripe (#21) debut on this year’s list

LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional network, today unveiled the 2025 Top Companies list for India showcasing 25 large companies where professionals can grow their careers. Based on the activity of millions of professionals on the platform, the list provides insights on in-demand skills, top locations, and the largest job functions within these companies, helping job seekers find their next opportunity.

Derived from LinkedIn data across eight pillars — including ability to advance, skills growth, external opportunity, and company affinity — the top companies list highlights organisations that are investing in employees and hiring now, in a highly competitive job market.

Nirajita Banerjee, LinkedIn Career Expert and India Senior Managing Editor said, “The biggest learning from this year’s list is that companies are not just hiring for where they are today, but also for where they want to be tomorrow. Nineteen of the top 25 companies come from technology, finance, and enterprise software sectors, looking for technically fluent professionals who can work across teams, think critically, adapt quickly, and grow with the business. For anyone looking to land their first or next job, this is the time to test and build your range. Strengthen your core expertise, explore transferable skills, and stay close to how industries are evolving. In a job market that’s constantly in motion, career resilience is the superpower that will set you apart.”

For another year, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) retained the top spot, followed by Accenture (#2) and Infosys (#3). And with Cognizant ranked #5, this year’s list highlights the dominance of Computer, IT and Software sectors in offering career progress opportunities in India today. Core skills in development tools, data storage technologies and enterprise software remain central to their hiring focus, particularly in Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai.

Nearly half – 12 out of 25 companies — are new to this year’s list, reflecting broad shifts in the opportunities available to Indian job seekers. Fidelity Investments (#4) is the highest-ranking debut, followed by ServiceNow (#17) and Stripe (#21). Financial services firms take seven spots on this year’s list, including JPMorgan Chase (#7), Wells Fargo (#15), and American Express (#25). Common roles being hired for in these companies include business operations analyst, fraud analyst and financial analyst, with key skills in capital markets, investment banking and commercial banking.

The list also shows global technology companies continuing to expand their footprint in India. Amazon (#8), Alphabet (#9), and Salesforce (#12) are hiring for roles such as software engineer, data analyst and account manager. Artificial intelligence, AI engineering and mobile application development are the most sought after skills at these firms. Synopsys Inc (#13), Continental (#14) and RTX (#20) are investing in their design engineering, test engineering and quality assurance teams, with skills in computer hardware, signal processing and electronic control systems.

Here are tips from Nirajita on connecting with and exploring job opportunities at a Top Company:

Boost your discoverability: Think of your LinkedIn profile as your digital handshake because it’s often the first impression recruiters get. A well-crafted profile can make you stand out and increase your chances of being noticed by top companies. Use it to showcase your professional journey authentically. For an extra edge, take advantage of LinkedIn’s AI-powered Premium tools to refine your Headline and About sections.

Show companies you’re interested in them: Use LinkedIn’s “I’m Interested” feature to express interest in a company, even if they don’t have open positions. This increases your visibility to recruiters searching for potential candidates. LinkedIn Top Choice Premium feature also helps you make it clear to hiring managers that you’re eager to join their team when the opportunity arrives.

Research companies like a pro: Before applying at a company, do your homework. Start with the company’s LinkedIn page to get a sense of its culture, values, and leadership. Following key executives can give you insight into the topics they care about and evaluate whether these align with your priorities. LinkedIn Premium also offers several features for professionals to further increase visibility, learn insights, and find suitable job matches.

Network. Network. Network: Building connections with current and former employees at your target company can open doors that you don’t even know of. Engaging with them, commenting on their posts, or even requesting an informational chat can give you a valuable inside perspective. A strong network can also help with referrals. LinkedIn data shows that applicants are 4X more likely to land a job through their connections.

Showcase & strengthen your skills: With AI transforming the job market, leaders and recruiters are most sharply focused on finding the right mix of skills. Make sure your profile highlights your relevant skills and abilities – both technical and non-technical. You can also explore new courses and skills on LinkedIn Learning to stay competitive in an evolving market.
