The event was held on April 3,4 and 5th April 2026, at Urmi Estate, Lower Parel, Mumbai.

    The masterclass focused on the application of CT in small animal practice, covering imaging protocols, patient positioning, and diagnostic strategies across key anatomical regions.

Dr. Liuti delivered insightful sessions on advanced imaging techniques, including ultrasound and CT, enriching attendees with global perspectives and practical knowledge.

    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.

    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.

    The new office has been designed to support the company’s growing teams and evolving business needs, featuring modern collaboration zones, advanced infrastructure, and dedicated Network Operations Center (NOC) and Security Operations Center (SOC) capabilities. 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. It also empowers our teams with the environment and tools needed to deliver greater value.”

The addition of enhanced NOC and SOC functions further strengthens its ability to deliver proactive monitoring and rapid incident response.

    This expansion follows the recent launch of Embee’s new office in Chennai and is part of the company’s broader growth strategy. With 12+ offices across India, Embee is well-positioned to support customers nationwide while maintaining strong regional engagement.

  • Kärcher India’s ‘True Clean’ Campaign Redefines Hygiene Standards

    Kärcher India’s ‘True Clean’ Campaign Redefines Hygiene Standards

    • 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.

  • Nidhi Mehra Marks a Powerful Comeback with ‘Mohini’ at an Exclusive Store Launch Runway Showcase

    Nidhi Mehra Marks a Powerful Comeback with ‘Mohini’ at an Exclusive Store Launch Runway Showcase

    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.

    Known for her work across multiple film industries, Chohan has carved a unique path that blends artistic expression with social responsibility. Her commitment to human rights goes beyond digital advocacy, extending into direct engagement through school outreach programs, workshops, and awareness campaigns.

    Continuing her mission, Chohan has already reached over 170 million people with her message of human rights. Her efforts have earned recognition at the United Nations in New York, where she became the only Indian actor to receive the Hero Award. She was also honored with the Presidential Volunteer Service Award by Joe Biden. With an ambitious vision ahead, her goal is now to reach one billion people within the year.

  • Rukmini Vasanth’s Cryptic Vanity Post Sparks Buzz Around Her Next Move

    Rukmini Vasanth’s Cryptic Vanity Post Sparks Buzz Around Her Next Move

    Fresh off a breakout phase in her career, Rukmini Vasanth has set industry circles abuzz with a cryptic social media update—offering just enough to intrigue, but revealing nothing concrete about what’s next.

    The actor recently shared a quiet, behind-the-scenes glimpse from her vanity, hinting at a day on set. While the image itself was understated, its timing has fuelled widespread speculation, with fans and insiders alike attempting to decode which of her upcoming projects she may currently be shooting for.

    Rukmini’s rising momentum comes on the back of widespread acclaim for her recent performance, widely regarded as a turning point in her career. Her ability to command attention on screen has firmly positioned her among the most exciting performers to watch across South Indian cinema today.

    Among her most anticipated projects is Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-ups, a pan-Indian spectacle headlined by Yash and directed by Geethu Mohandas. In the film, Rukmini essays Mellisa—a character described as enigmatic, emotionally layered, and integral to the narrative’s darker, fairy-tale-like world. Toxic is slated for release on June 4, 2026.

    She is also set to star opposite Jr NTR in NTRNEEL, an action drama directed by Prashanth Neel. Her role has since been confirmed as the female lead in the period film.

    Back in Kannada cinema, Rukmini has signed an untitled project with KVN Productions, directed by Hemanth M. Rao—marking their third collaboration after Sapta Saagaradaache Ello.

    For now, however, Rukmini remains tight-lipped—letting a single, fleeting glimpse from her vanity do all the talking, and leaving everyone guessing about what’s next.
