    1. Policy Support for Women Developers

    Ms. Smita Patil called for enabling policies such as faster approval processes and reserved leadership roles to encourage more women to enter and thrive in real estate.

    2. Skill Development & Leadership Training

    The meet emphasized the need for structured training, exposure to new technologies, and on-ground learning for women.

    3. Mentorship & Professional Growth

    NAREDCO Mahi aims to build a supportive ecosystem where women can learn, collaborate, innovate, and lead confidently.

    Women’s Inclusion Can Build Stronger, Resilient Cities

    Dr. Hiranandani reinforced that integrating more women into formal real estate employment and entrepreneurship directly contributes to India’s economic goals.

    “If we can train and integrate women across planning, execution, and management, we are building stronger, more resilient cities,” he stated.

  • Rainmatter, WEH Ventures Invest Rs 8.5 Cr in Praan Health to Combat India’s Chronic Crisis

    Rainmatter, WEH Ventures Invest Rs 8.5 Cr in Praan Health to Combat India’s Chronic Crisis

    National, November 13, 2025: Praan Health, a lifestyle-first chronic care platform for parents aged 50 and above, has raised ₹8.5 crore in seed funding to scale its vision of bringing preventive chronic care to Indian families. The round was led by Rainmatter Investments with participation from WEH Ventures and angel investors, including Alakh Pandey and Prateek Maheshwari (PhysicsWallah) and Arjun Vaidya, among others.

    Founded in 2024 by Navneeth Ramprasad, a former product leader at Netflix and Meta, Praan Health was born from a personal problem familiar to millions of Indians: the struggle to care for ageing parents from afar. Over 90% of Indians above 60 suffer from lifestyle-related chronic conditions, yet care remains fragmented and hospital-driven. Praan was built to change that by offering families, especially millennials and older Gen Z living in India and abroad, a structured, science-backed, and lifestyle-first system that helps parents regain strength, mobility, and control over their health.

    With the new funding, Praan plans to strengthen its product and technology capabilities, expand its clinical and coaching teams, and expand its service delivery across India. The company has recently launched its mobile app,  a one-stop platform that allows young adults to manage their parents’ health journeys, from blood test uploads and risk scores to weekly progress updates and doctor consultations. Praan will also use the funds to build unique, first-of-its-kind health centres in key demographics – Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Delhi-NCR.

    Using an integrated approach that combines physician supervision, clinical nutrition and one-on-one strength training, Praan delivers personalised 90/180/365-day programmes for 25+ chronic conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, osteoporosis and post-surgery recovery. In under a year, the company has supported 1,500+ families across India through 50,000+ one-on-one sessions, powered by a 75+ member team of physicians, clinical nutritionists, physiotherapists and certified strength coaches.

    Navneeth Ramprasad, Founder and CEO, Praan Health, said: “Healthcare for our parents shouldn’t start at the hospital — it should start at home. Praan turns chronic care into daily habits of movement, strength, and evidence-based nutrition. The freshly infused capital will help us deepen our clinical and technology capabilities, scale our programmes across India, and make Praan a household name. While our end users are parents, the platform also allows their children to stay informed, track progress, and remain closely involved in their parents’ health journey. It’s a step toward making preventive, strength-driven care accessible to every household, so ageing in India can be defined by vitality, not vulnerability.”

    Nithin Kamath, Rainmatter & Zerodha, CEO, said: “There are 150 million people over the age of 60 in India, i.e., approximately 11% of our population. This poses significant challenges for the healthcare system as more elders will need specialised care. Most of them are experiencing some chronic health issues, and this is where a solution like Praan brings impact at scale. We’re excited to support the team at Praan, who are delivering chronic care solutions for our elders.”

    Rohit Krishna, Partner, WEH Ventures, added: “Praan is solving a very real problem that every Indian in the workforce faces – how to care better for our parents as they age. The team’s approach combines medical depth with everyday practicality, making long-term health management both simple and deeply personal. It’s a mission that can touch millions of homes, and Navneeth’s clarity of purpose gives us immense confidence in Praan’s ability to redefine how India approaches preventive and chronic care.”

    India’s healthcare system is moving beyond hospitals and toward homes. The country’s digital health market, valued at USD 14.5 billion in 2024, is expected to cross USD 106 billion by 2033. Globally, the chronic disease management market is projected to reach USD 20.8 billion by 2034. As more families turn to technology for everyday healthcare, platforms like Praan are bridging the gap by bringing science, structure and compassion together to help children actively care for their parents’ health at home.

    About Praan Health

    Praan Health is India’s first lifestyle-first chronic care platform designed to help parents live longer, stronger, and pain-free lives. Founded in 2024 by Navneeth Ramprasad, a former Netflix and Meta product leader and former international athlete who represented India in Table Tennis, Praan combines physician-led care, clinical nutrition, and strength training to reverse and manage chronic conditions through habit transformation — not hospital dependence.

    What began as a personal mission to help Navneeth’s own parents rebuild strength and reverse Type 2 diabetes has grown into a nationwide movement. Powered by a fast-growing community of over 500,000 followers and over 250 million+ views on Instagram (@getfitwithnav), Praan has become one of India’s most trusted voices in evidence-based longevity and senior health.

    In less than a year, Praan has supported over 1,500 families across India through 50,000+ personalised sessions, led by a multidisciplinary team of physicians, clinical nutritionists, physiotherapists, and strength coaches. The company’s long-term vision is to redefine chronic care in India — from frailty and dependence to strength, vitality, and independence.

    Mumbai, November 2025: After a resounding success in North India, where 880 young shooters showcased their skills at the Ghaziabad trials, the School Shooting Premier League (SSPL) is set to bring its next chapter to Maharashtra. The much-awaited Maharashtra Zone Trials will take place on 12th and 13th November 2025 at the MLWB Shooting Range, Dadar West, Prabhadevi, Mumbai.

    The event will unite talented student shooters from across the state, giving them a national-level platform to display precision, focus, and sportsmanship.

    The North India trials saw enthusiastic participation from schools across Delhi NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, and Uttarakhand — marking it as one of the largest school-level shooting competitions in the region. The impressive turnout underscored the growing popularity of shooting as a youth sport and reinforced SSPL’s mission to nurture emerging talent through structured, competitive opportunities.

    With its Maharashtra debut, SSPL continues its nationwide effort to identify and develop young shooters while promoting values of discipline, concentration, and excellence among students.

    Deepak Srivastav, Co-founder of SSPL, said:

    “The enthusiasm and discipline shown by students during the North India trials have set a strong benchmark for the League. SSPL is not just a competition but a platform that provides young shooters with the right exposure and a pathway to pursue the sport seriously. We’re confident that Maharashtra will carry forward this momentum and inspire many more to join the sport.”

    Ayush Yadav, Founder of SSPL, added:

    “The response from the North India Zone was phenomenal, proving that school-level sports like shooting can inspire confidence, focus, and national pride. We’re excited to bring the same energy and opportunities to Maharashtra and look forward to discovering the state’s next generation of champions.”

    The Maharashtra trials will feature multiple shooting disciplines — including 10m Air Rifle and 10m Air Pistol — across U-15 and U-19 categories for both boys and girls. Over 250 students are expected to participate, joined by parents, coaches, educators, and sports professionals.

    Alongside the main competition, SSPL will also host interactive sessions on shooting techniques, sports safety, and mental conditioning, giving participants valuable insights into franchise-based team selections, sponsorship opportunities, and mentorship programs.

    Top shooters from the Maharashtra trials will qualify for the Final League Round, leading up to the SSPL Main Event scheduled for early 2026. The League’s expansion into Maharashtra marks another milestone in SSPL’s vision to build India’s largest school-level shooting ecosystem, with upcoming events planned across other major cities.

    About SSPL

    The School Shooting Premier League (SSPL) is an initiative by the Eternal Sports Promotion Foundation, aimed at promoting and professionalizing shooting sports at the school level across India.

    Eternal Sounds Co-Presents Sardar Patel’s 150th Anniversary Ode

    Kevadia, Gujarat, November 2025: In a magnificent ode to unity and nationhood, Eternal Sounds joined forces with Oscar-contending percussion maestro Bickram Ghosh and Grammy Award-winning composer Ricky Kej to co-produce “Loha Purush Namastyubhyam” — a spectacular musical masterpiece that served as the grand finale of Ekta Diwas 2025 celebrations at Ekta Nagar, Kevadia.

    Commemorating the 150th birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the stirring composition stood as a musical salute to the Iron Man of India — symbolizing his unparalleled contribution to national integration. The large-scale presentation, jointly organised by the Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Culture, and the Sangeet Natak Akademi, featured over 800 dancers from across India, choreographed by the acclaimed Santosh Nair. The production was helmed under the artistic direction of Dr. Sandhya Purecha, Chairperson of the Sangeet Natak Akademi.

    The program was graced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who led the nation in paying tribute to Sardar Patel’s enduring vision of unity. Among the distinguished guests were Bickram Ghosh and Gaurang Jalan, partners at Eternal Sounds, who attended as special invitees of the Ministry of Culture.

    As co-presenter of the track, Eternal Sounds ensured seamless coordination, high production value, and an artistic finesse that reflected the grandeur of the national celebration. The composition brought together an ensemble of some of India’s most revered voices — Hariharan, Shaan, Richa Sharma, Mahalakshmi Iyer, Kavita Seth, and others — blending classical richness with contemporary harmony to create a soundscape that celebrated India’s “unity in diversity.”

    Penned by Ashok Chakradhar and Sutapa Basu, “Loha Purush Namastyubhyam” captures the indomitable spirit of India — both timeless and evolving. The production exemplifies Eternal Sounds’ vision of fostering culturally resonant works that transcend entertainment, uniting artistry with national pride.

    Co-owned by Utsav Parekh, Mayank Jalan, Gaurang Jalan, and Bickram Ghosh, Eternal Sounds continues to shape India’s musical narrative through projects that celebrate the nation’s spirit, sound, and soul.

    As the echoes of “Loha Purush Namastyubhyam” filled Ekta Nagar, it stood as a reminder that music — like the legacy of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel — remains a unifying force that binds India through every rhythm, every note, and every heart.
