The platform generates highly personalized insights based on an individual’s exact birth data, delivering features such as:
Accurate sidereal birth charts
AI-powered daily guidance (“Oracle”)
Personalized wellness rituals
Lunar-aligned nutrition and sound therapy
“Our mission is to eliminate guesswork from astrology and replace it with mathematical accuracy,” said Pubali Sen, Founder of Nyle & Moon. “We believe self-discovery should be grounded in real data, not outdated systems.

In recent years, CT has transformed animal healthcare by enabling precise diagnosis, treatment planning, and recovery monitoring. Despite these advancements, India lacked a dedicated platform for veterinary imaging professionals. Addressing this gap, Fredna Vet Diagnostics launched The Veterinary Imaging Bulletin of India as a platform for collaboration, learning, and professional growth.
During this Educational event, Fredna Vet Diagnostics also unveiled India’s first dedicated veterinary publication’s second issue.
The Veterinary Imaging Bulletin of India, a pioneering initiative focused exclusively on imaging. This maiden venture marks a significant step toward establishing veterinary radiology and imaging as a distinct and specialized discipline in the country launched on January 04,2026.
To establish a national platform for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and case-based learning among veterinary imaging professionals. The bulletin invites contributions from across India, including challenging case studies, imaging experiences, and short academic notes relevant to veterinary diagnostics.
With rapid technological advancements in veterinary medicine, initiatives such as this bulletin, along with seminars and educational campaigns, will play a vital role in driving adoption and ensuring more precise, evidence-based animal healthcare in the future.
Kolkata, India — Embee Software Pvt. Ltd., a leading digital transformation and technology solutions provider, today announced the expansion of its operations in Kolkata with the launch of a new, larger office facility spanning approximately 10,000 sq. ft. This move reinforces Embee’s commitment to strengthening regional capabilities while enhancing customer experience and service delivery.

These enhancements will enable real-time monitoring, faster response times, and stronger delivery across cloud, cybersecurity, and managed services.
This expansion reflects Embee Software’s strategic focus on deepening its presence in key markets rather than just expanding geographically. Kolkata has long been an integral part of the company’s growth journey, and this investment underscores its continued commitment to the region.
“Growth is not always about entering new markets, it’s about strengthening the foundations where you already are,” said Sudhir Kothari, CEO and Managing Director, Embee Software. “Our expanded Kolkata office enables us to be more agile, responsive, and closely aligned with our customers’ evolving needs.

Aims to shift consumer mindset from manual methods to efficient, technology-led cleaning solutions
New Delhi, 15 April 2026: Kärcher India has unveiled its latest campaign, “Manual vs Mechanised,” as part of its broader “True Clean” initiative, encouraging consumers to move beyond traditional cleaning practices and embrace smarter, more efficient mechanised solutions.
At the heart of the campaign lies a simple yet powerful idea — the difference between surfaces that merely appear clean and those that are truly clean. Conventional methods like sweeping and scrubbing often disperse dust, leave behind stubborn grime, and demand continuous physical effort. Kärcher highlights these “invisible inefficiencies,” positioning mechanised cleaning as a more effective path to genuine hygiene.
Anchored by its brand philosophy, “Clean = Kärcher,” the company showcases the strength of its technology-driven portfolio. From vacuum cleaners that capture and retain dust instead of redistributing it, to steam cleaners that deliver chemical-free cleaning while eliminating up to 99.999% of viruses and 99.99% of bacteria, and high-pressure washers that outperform conventional methods — Kärcher reinforces its promise of deep, reliable cleaning.
Speaking on the campaign, Ayesha Prasad Narain, AGM Marketing at Kärcher India, said, “Cleaning should go beyond surface-level results. Through our ‘Manual vs Mechanised’ campaign, we aim to help consumers understand the gap between perception and reality, and inspire them to adopt smart, technology-led solutions that deliver deeper cleaning with less effort.”
The campaign also reflects evolving consumer lifestyles and preferences. With innovations such as robotic vacuum cleaners and lightweight, easy-to-use cleaning equipment, Kärcher is making advanced cleaning solutions more accessible and convenient for everyday use.
Through this initiative, Kärcher India aims to redefine cleaning — transforming it from a labor-intensive chore into a smart, efficient, and effortless experience.
About Kärcher India
Kärcher India, a subsidiary of Alfred Kärcher SE & Co. KG, offers a comprehensive range of professional and consumer cleaning solutions across industrial, commercial, automotive, and household segments. With a strong focus on innovation, performance, and sustainability, the company continues to empower businesses and consumers with advanced cleaning technologies, supported by a robust service network across India.
Noida, Uttar Pradesh | April 15, 2026 : After nearly a decade away from the spotlight, designer Nidhi Mehra has returned — and she’s done it with quiet confidence and undeniable impact. On April 12, she unveiled her new label, AAHANA’S by Nidhi Mehra, through an intimate runway showcase held inside her Noida store, introducing her latest collection, Mohini.
The evening felt less like a conventional launch and more like a thoughtfully curated experience. As the sun set, the space filled with fashion insiders, media, and influencers, all gathered for a relaxed yet refined sundowner. With wine, conversations, and anticipation in the air, the store transformed into a runway — blurring the lines between retail and storytelling.
Mohini, as a collection, draws from the idea of the mythical enchantress but interprets it through a modern lens. It speaks to the many layers of today’s woman — soft yet strong, poised yet powerful. Designed keeping the Gen Z bride in mind, the collection brings together traditional Indian craftsmanship with contemporary silhouettes that feel relevant and wearable.
The pieces moved effortlessly down the runway — fluid lehengas, delicately embellished ensembles, and statement looks that balanced grace with strength. There was a sense of restraint in the design, but also confidence — nothing felt overdone, yet everything made an impression.
Speaking at the event, Nidhi shared, “This comeback is deeply personal. Mohini represents every woman who embraces her duality — softness and strength, grace and power. It feels incredibly special to share this journey again.” And that sentiment was visible throughout the showcase — it didn’t feel like a restart, but rather an evolution.
Having previously showcased at platforms like Asia Lifestyle Week in 2018, Nidhi’s return signals a new chapter — one that feels more aligned with today’s audience while still rooted in traditional artistry. With AAHANA’S, she’s not just relaunching a brand, but redefining her voice for a new generation.
The evening wasn’t just about a collection — it was about reintroduction, reflection, and a renewed creative direction. And if this showcase is anything to go by, Nidhi Mehra’s return is one that the modern Indian couture space will be watching closely.
