In the year 2022 alone, the average property prices in Kanakapura Road have surged by 12.5% as compared to 2021, while the overall prices in Bengaluru have gone up by 7.5% during the same period. Despite the escalating rates, Kanakapura Road continues to be one of the most sought-after micro-markets in Bengaluru since 2020, as evidenced by its high search volume and popularity. 

According to Siddhart Goel, Head of Research at Magicbricks, "Kanakapura Road provides a wide range of residential options for both customers and investors. Moreover, over the past few years, the connectivity on Kanakapura Road has considerably improved, offering convenient transit to JP Nagar, Jayanagar, and Bannerghatta Road through metro connectivity. The easy accessibility to Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprises Road (NICE Road), employment hubs such as Electronic City and Sarjapur Road, has further contributed to the popularity of this area as a preferred residential location." 

According to Magicbricks Research, multistorey apartments were the most in-demand property type in Kanakpura Road between Jan-March 2023, accounting for 81% of the demand. This was followed by residential plots at 9% and individual houses at 6%.

The majority of homebuyers (60%) in Kanakapura Road are inclined towards investing in 3BHK units, with 2BHK units being the second-most popular choice among 34% of homebuyers. In terms of supply, 3BHK units hold the highest share of 54%, while 2BHK units account for 39% of the total supply. 

Ashu Gupta, National Sales Head at Magicbricks, remarks that "A decade ago, Kanakapura Road was primarily preferred for investment purposes. However, with improved connectivity, better infrastructure, and the development of various amenities, the area has garnered the attention of end-users as well. The presence of a robust education and healthcare infrastructure, along with enhanced connectivity and accessibility to NH-209, coupled with eco-friendly initiatives like green belts and parks, have significantly contributed to making this area more appealing to homebuyers." 

Realizing the immense potential of Kanakapura Road, several prominent real estate developers, including  Prestige Constructions, Godrej Properties, Mantri Developers, Total Environment, Brigade Group, Puravankara Ltd, and Rohan Builders, have launched projects along the stretch.

Air India and Vistara operate at the same terminals at most major airports in India, adding to the ease of the on-ground travel experience for guests with interline itineraries.

Air India and Vistara have also implemented ‘Interline Considerations on Irregular Operations (IROPs)’ or the ‘disruption transfer’ functionality. This enables the two airlines to seamlessly transfer passengers to one another’s first available alternative flights in case of operational disruptions such as delays, cancellations, diversions, etc. and minimise any inconvenience to their guests.

Campbell Wilson, CEO & MD, Air India, said: “We are pleased at our interline partnership with Vistara, which will provide greater connectivity and convenience to our joint customers travelling within and outside of India on both our expanding route networks. Our common commitment to excellence in safety and customer service lies at the forefront of this partnership.

Vinod Kannan, Chief Executive Officer, Vistara, said, "This partnership brings together two leading airlines in India to offer greater convenience and enhanced connectivity to customers traveling across our joint network. This is reflective of our deep-rooted commitment to offering our customers the finest and the most convenient way to fly across the world. We are delighted to further strengthen our relationship with Air India and connecting our customers to new destinations in their wide network."

AIIMS & Medtronic Partner To Launch New Surgical Robotics Training Center At AIIMS, New Delhi

* Training partnership aims to expand access to robotic-assisted surgery in India

AIIMS New Delhi and India Medtronic Private Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Medtronic plc, announced the opening of a state-of-the-art surgical robotics training center at AIIMS, New Delhi. The center will provide surgeons with best-in-class training in robotic-assisted surgery. It is the first such center at AIIMS utilizing Medtronic’s HugoTM robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) system, which was first introduced in India in September 2021. The new training partnership was announced in the presence of Dr. Minu Bajpai, HOD Paediatric Surgery and Dean Academics, AIIMS and Michael Blackwell, Vice President & Managing Director, Medtronic India. The partnership brings together novel technology and decades of surgical expertise to train surgeons nationwide and expand access to the benefits of RAS.

RAS is an emerging medical technology that can help standardize surgical procedures and enable surgeons in performing complex surgeries.  The training center will offer a broad spectrum of training to enhance the knowledge and skill set in RAS, ranging from basic skills training to procedural training to more advanced and specialized areas in soft-tissue surgery. The training will help impart procedural knowledge skills using surgical robotics among surgeons, fellows, and residents from across the country.

“Medtronic’s partnership with AIIMS is a cornerstone of our commitment to make the benefits of RAS available to more patients in India. Together, we will make training and education on the latest technology more accessible and enhance the skill sets of both current and the next generation of surgeons,” said Michael Blackwell, Vice President & Managing Director, Medtronic India.

“Robotic-assisted surgery allows surgeons to perform complex procedures with more precision, flexibility and control than is possible with conventional techniques. Though surgical robots have been around for many years, the adoption has been limited due to multiple factors, training being one among them. Surgical robotics and artificial intelligence are already changing the way surgical care is delivered.  This initiative will pave the way for surgeons to progress from open and laparoscopic surgery to advanced RAS and will shorten their learning curve to master robotic techniques,“ said Dr. Minu Bajpai, HOD Paediatric Surgery and Dean Academics, AIIMS.

The HugoTM RAS system is a modular, multi-quadrant platform designed for a broad range of soft-tissue procedures. It combines wristed instruments, 3D visualization, and Touch Surgery™ Enterprise, a cloud-based surgical video capture and management solution, with dedicated support teams specializing in robotics program optimization, service, and training. It is designed to bring the benefits of minimally invasive surgery — fewer complications, smaller scars, shorter hospital stays, and a faster return to normal activities1–3,† — to more patient around the world. And, in doing so, help address global inequities in access to care.
