IGI Launches "Moments Campaign" To Emphasize The Emotional Significance And Authenticity Of Certified Diamonds

~ “Moments” campaign highlights the deep emotional value of diamonds and the assurance provided by IGI certification~

International Gemological Institute (IGI), a global leader in diamond certification, announces the launch of the "Moments Campaign" a category first communication to reinforce the importance of obtaining the IGI certification while making a high value diamond purchase. This initiative underscores the profound emotions and cherished memories symbolized by diamonds while emphasizing the importance of IGI certification in ensuring their authenticity and value.

The campaign weaves a beautiful tapestry of relationships, where diamonds are the threads connecting life’s most precious moments. A groom’s gift of a diamond ring symbolizes a promise of forever – "Your promise is IGI certified." A corporate woman’s diamond necklace reflects her hard-earned success – "Your ambition is IGI certified." A son’s gift of a diamond bracelet to his father honors love and legacy – "Your legacy is IGI certified." Diamonds traditionally etched as a symbol of most cherished moments in the campaign, diamonds transcend their form, becoming symbols of love, achievement, and connection that make life unforgettable.

Reflecting on the campaign storyboard, Mr. Tehmasp Printer, MD and CEO, IGI, stated, "At IGI, we recognize that diamonds are precious; they represent life’s cherished moments. Through the 'Moments Campaign,' we emphasize the significance of these occasions and assure consumers that IGI certification guarantees authenticity and honours the memories they hold. Our goal is to provide trust and confidence, ensuring every certified diamond reflects the depth of the moments it commemorates."

This campaign is directed towards individuals who are considering or have already purchased diamond jewelry. The initiative seeks to educate consumers on the necessity of obtaining IGI certification to ensure the authenticity of their significant moments. Through the 'Moments Campaign,' IGI reinforces its dedication to upholding trust and authenticity in the diamond industry, ensuring that every certified diamond carries with it the assurance of genuine and lasting value.

Mr. Anuj Kalra, Senior Creative Director, Ogilvy, said: “Diamond campaigns often come with their own clichéd shine. From the outset, our goal wasn't just to create a standout campaign—it was to ensure that the idea of diamond certification shone even brighter, turning certification into a story as brilliant as the diamonds it validates."

The Digital Campaign will release on all the social media platforms including YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. The company website will also air the campaign films.

CredAble Crosses INR 250 Cr In Trade Receivables Securitization, Emerging As A Leading Structuring Advisor And Execution Partner

CredAble, India’s largest working capital technology platform, announced that it has successfully crossed INR 250 crore in trade receivables securitization (TRS) via Pass-Through Certificates (PTCs) from its NBFC arm. This marks a progressive milestone in CredAble’s journey to institutionalize trade receivables as a trustworthy, investable asset class and deliver scalable liquidity solutions to corporates and financial institutions operating in increasingly dynamic and regulated capital market transactions.

Positioned uniquely at the convergence of structured finance, receivables intelligence, and deal execution, CredAble has developed deep capabilities in short-tenor receivable securitization—combining regulatory precision, investor-grade documentation, and corporate-grade underwriting into a single advisory offering. This positions the firm not only as a deal facilitator but also as a structuring partner of record for a new generation of asset-backed funding strategies.

“Trade receivables are being reimagined—from being static balance sheet items to dynamic, monetizable assets. We are enabling that transformation,” said Manu Prakash, Global Head – Wholesale Lending, DCM & FI Coverage at CredAble. “By blending risk-optimized structures with robust institutional linkages, we’re unlocking new liquidity pathways for enterprises while building high-yield, short-duration fixed income products for institutional investors.”

CredAble has now established itself as a one stop shop for advising both the originators (corporates) and investors on TRS.

Transforming Market Practice: Deal Execution That Sets Benchmarks

Among CredAble’s landmark achievements is the execution of India’s first PTC on pool of trade receivables under the Standard Assets category, in partnership with Northern Arc Capital(investor)—a transaction widely seen as a precedent for deal-making under the revised RBI securitization framework, supporting the government's push for TRS and Securitisation. The subsequent deals showcased CredAble’s ability to:

Aggregate high-quality, investment-grade receivables across multiple vendors and counterparties

Isolate and ring-fence risk through trust structures in line with SEBI and RBI norms

Enable capital markets access for short-duration, supply chain-linked credit exposures

Bringing in new investors for take offs

This was followed by support from strategic investors like Aditya Birla Finance Ltd., Godrej Capital, Kotak Mahindra Investments Ltd., and Grip Invest—with each transaction representing a unique structure tailored to institutional risk appetite and corporate funding needs.

Building the Architecture of Receivables as an Asset Class

The Indian securitization market witnessed a ~30% YoY growth in FY24, driven by appetite for non-traditional, yield-accretive instruments. Amid this evolution, trade receivables are emerging as a front-running alternative—attractive for mutual funds, AIFs, corporate treasuries, insurers, and soon, pension and sovereign funds.

CredAble is at the forefront of this shift, with a forward roadmap that includes:

Expanded investor syndication across AIFs, insurance companies, DFIs, and HNIs

A formal Receivables-as-an-Asset-Class Playbook for CFOs, treasury heads, and credit committees

Advanced pool-level analytics dashboards for investors, featuring real-time performance visibility, delinquency risk triggers, and waterfall tracking

Structuring of ESG-linked receivables pools, tied to responsible supply chain metrics and sustainability-linked disbursal triggers

“The real value lies not just in the transaction, but in the architecture,” added Mr. Prakash. “We’re building a programmable framework where liquidity can flow through receivables seamlessly, compliantly, and at scale—backed by institutional trust and executional precision.”

A Vision Aligned with Regulatory Evolution

CredAble’s solutions align with recent SEBI reforms on securitized debt instruments and RBI’s evolving stance on asset-backed exposures—particularly around standard asset classification, true-sale criteria, and risk isolation. By bridging these frameworks with market practice, CredAble is creating an ecosystem where trade receivables are both bankable and investable—blending corporate-grade origination with capital-market-grade compliance.

Through Yashraj's creative brilliance, we have transformed content into a sensory experience—one that transcends traditional viewing, allowing consumers to feel and share it through a unique audible. This bold, playful reimagining of refreshment in a sonic avatar ensures Sprite remains at the forefront of trends, perfectly aligned with the passions of our consumers.”

Bengaluru Engineer’s Organ Donation Saves Multiple Lives After His Tragic Demise

A 33-year-old engineer, who tragically lost his life following a road traffic accident earlier this month, saved six lives through his selfless act of organ donation at Apollo Hospital Seshadripuram in Bengaluru.

Rakesh Kumar S, an engineer from Bengaluru, was admitted to the hospital following a road accident, resulting in severe head and facial injuries, leading to increased pressure on his brain, causing significant complications, including a shift in part of his brain, and resulting in an extremely low level of consciousness, indicating a critical condition. Despite prompt medical intervention and the dedicated efforts of the hospital's medical team, his condition deteriorated.

After confirming the patient’s brain death through multiple apnea tests, the family was counselled regarding the situation. The deceased's mother chose to honour his legacy by consenting to organ donation, a decision that ultimately saved the lives of several patients awaiting transplants.

Dr. B. Ravi Mohan Rao, Neuro-surgeon at Apollo Hospital, Seshadripuram, said, "Rakesh's case serves as a tragic reminder of how quickly life can change. However, his selfless act of organ donation has become a beacon of hope. Despite the severity of his injuries, the coordinated efforts of our medical team, along with the courage of his family, enabled us to save multiple lives. This is a powerful testament to the impact of compassion. We are honoured to have played a role in this life-saving process. Each of these generous donations will make a profound difference for patients in need of critical organ transplants, offering new hope and life-saving treatments. It is a poignant reminder of the power of kindness and humanity, even in the face of tragedy. According to the National Organ & Tissue Transplant Organisation (NOTTO) report, there are more than 4,000 patients in Bengaluru who are waiting for organ transplants. This act of donation will significantly contribute to saving lives and addressing the critical shortage of available organs for those in need."

The patient’s organs have been successfully donated, saving the lives of multiple individuals in need. His liver and one kidney were transplanted at Apollo Hospitals, Seshadripuram, providing life-saving treatments to patients with liver and kidney failure. His corneas were donated to restore sight to individuals suffering from blindness or severe vision impairment. Additionally, his heart valves and second kidney have already been used in heart valve replacement surgeries and kidney transplants. Lastly, his skin was donated to Victoria Hospital, where it has been used in the treatment of burn victims and patients requiring skin grafts to aid in their recovery.

"Losing my son has been the hardest thing I've ever faced. But in my pain, I find some comfort knowing that his decision to donate his organs will give others a chance to live. My heart is broken, but I am incredibly proud of him. I hope that by sharing his story, more people will be inspired to consider organ donation. It brings me peace to know that even though he’s gone, part of him will live on and help others,” Rekha Rao, Rakesh's mother said in intense grief.

Rekha Rao is a brave single mother and Rakesh was her only child. He was an engineer working for a private company and lived in Manjunatha Nagar Rajajinagar, Bengaluru.

Bajaj Finserv Large And Mid Cap Fund Celebrates First Anniversary, Steady Amid Market Shifts

~ Backed by a Moat-Investing Strategy, the fund delivers a cumulative alpha of 8.07%* in the direct plan and 6.45%* in the regular plan

Bajaj Finserv AMC has marked the first anniversary of its Bajaj Finserv Large & Mid Cap Fund. In its inaugural year, the fund outperformed its benchmark, the Nifty Large Midcap 250 TRI, delivering a cumulative alpha of 8.07% in the Direct Plan and 6.45% in the Regular Plan.

Bajaj Finserv Large and Mid cap fund is an open ended equity fund investing in large and mid cap stocks, that sets itself apart with its MOAT investing strategy. The stock selection largely focuses on quality-oriented companies with strong economic moats – distinct competitive advantages that can give companies a long-term edge over their peers.

The fund currently focuses on 69 high-quality stocks with strong economic moats such as management strength, cost advantages, economies of sale, switching costs, brand strength, and patent. The fund seeks to stay resilient to market fluctuations and keep its focus on high quality businesses that can sustain profitability over time. This helps the fund create a well-diversified portfolio built for long-term wealth creation.

Speaking on the milestone, Ganesh Mohan, Chief Executive Officer, Bajaj Finserv AMC, said, “Our Large and Mid-Cap Fund was launched last year with a vision to balance stability and growth. The fund has navigated dynamic market conditions while staying true to its core philosophy of investing in quality businesses with strong long-term potential. We are grateful for the trust of our investors and remain committed to delivering sustainable value through disciplined and research-driven investing.

Nimesh Chandan, Chief Investment Officer, Bajaj Finserv AMC said, “Bajaj Finserv Large and Mid-Cap Fund is uniquely positioned for quality oriented long-term investors. Our focus on moat-based investing allows us to identify companies with strong, sustainable competitive advantages, providing a resilient foundation for long-term growth, and allows us to maintain a balanced risk profile.”

The fund house has developed trust among investors through exhaustive research and by incorporating its in-house investment philosophy, InQuBe (INformation edge + QUantitative edge + BEhavioral edge) in stock selection and allocation. The Bajaj Finserv Large and Mid Cap Fund combines the tenets of InQuBe with its moat investing strategy for a top-down and bottom-up stock selection process. This has helped it craft a resilient portfolio that has generated consistent alpha over the past year.

Bajaj Finserv Large and Mid Cap Fund is an open ended equity scheme that aims to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing predominantly in equity and equity-related instruments across large and mid cap companies. It is benchmarked against the Nifty Large Midcap 250 TRI.
