Truevis Technologies and Neusoft Medical Systems Sign MoU for 300 Radiology Centers with SMC Clinics

  • Revolutionizing Medtech Access and Empowering Radiologists

  • Forecasts to invest an estimated Rs. 1,000 cr over 5 years

  • One clinic setup requires an estimated Rs. 3.5 cr for an independent radiologist

  • Reaching over 1 million patients annually

 

Truevis Technologies Pvt Limited, a leading manufacturer in the med-tech sector, and Neusoft Medical Systems signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with SMC Clinics, an initiative of Swadhin Trust powered by Tripura Santiniketan Medical College and Hospital. In a landmark move to bridge India’s widening med-tech gap especially amid the escalating cancer crisis and capitalize on the sector’s post-Budget 2026 surge, this partnership aims to establish 300 clinician-owned diagnostic centers in Tier I, Tier II towns over the next five years, reaching over 1 million patients annually forecasting an investment of Rs. 1000 cr in 5 years.


India grapples with a surging cancer burden, with approximately 1.46 million new cases in 2022 (ICMR estimates), projected to exceed 1.5 million by 2026 and rise to around 1.57 million by 2030. Early detection through advanced imaging is critical, yet access remains limited in semi-urban and rural areas. India’s med-tech sector faces a stark shortfall: valued at approximately $14 billion today, it lags far behind the $50 billion required by 2030 to meet rising healthcare demands (NITI Aayog estimates). High import dependency (70-80% of equipment), capital-intensive setups, and limited access exacerbate the divide.


The Union Budget 2026-27 supercharged growth prospects, with Rs. 40,000 crore for electronics components manufacturing aiding med-tech devices and diagnostics; Rs. 10,000 crore Biopharma SHAKTI scheme over five years for biopharma hubs, indirectly benefiting med-tech integration; and expanded Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes for sectors like white goods (Rs. 1,004 crore) and ongoing medical devices PLI (Rs. 3,420 crore base through 2028), projecting a 15-20% CAGR through 2030 driving domestic manufacturing, affordability, and innovation.


This MoU directly tackles the cancer crisis by deploying advanced imaging equipment (X-Ray, Mammography, Ultrasound, CT, MRI, PET-CT) across 300 centers. These clinician-owned facilities will enable early-stage cancer detection vital for improving survival rates while cutting costs by up to 30% through local supply chains. By empowering radiologists in Tier I and Tier II towns, the initiative ensures affordable, high-quality diagnostics for over 1 million patients yearly, reducing treatment delays, easing hospital overload, and supporting India’s goal of universal healthcare access.


This partnership positions Truevis, Neusoft, and SMC Clinics at the forefront, offering a clinician-centric model where radiologists retain full ownership while partners handle backend hurdles like technology procurement and operations.


Key Partnership Roles
Truevis Technologies and Neusoft Medical Systems (Technology Partner): With their Make in India initiative, the companies will deliver end-to-end support for sourcing advanced imaging equipment, vendor coordination, installation, and lifecycle maintenance at preferential rates leveraging Budget-boosted local supply chains.


SMC Clinics (Service & Enablement Partner): Manages operational planning, referral networks, branding, and draws on Swadhin Trust’s institutional expertise for nationwide rollout.


This MoU isn’t just about scaling diagnostics it’s a game-changer for access to patient care, empowering radiologists to build Indian healthcare for the future, especially in tackling cancer’s rise. This will help retain highly skilled medical professionals for better care and accessibility in Tier II, Tier III towns and beyond,” said a spokesperson from Truevis Technologies Pvt Ltd.


This collaboration is a direct response to India’s med-tech shortfall and cancer surge, amplified by Budget 2026’s push for self-reliance and Make in India. By empowering radiologists to own their practices, we’re fostering entrepreneurship, improving early cancer detection, and enhancing treatment outcomes in underserved areas,” added a Spokesperson from SMC Clinics-Swadhin Trust.


The initiative prioritizes urban and semi-urban expansion, reducing dependence on corporate chains and promoting affordable, high-quality diagnostics amid the sector’s projected boom.

Paracoat Products Champions Sustainable Innovation with Agro-Material Composite Granules at Plast India Expo 2026

Paracoat Products Limited, a Pioneer NVH solutions manufacturer is set to make a significant impact at Plast India Expo 2026, taking place from February 5-10, with the launch of its latest innovation – agro-material reinforced polypropylene composite masterbatch granules. This breakthrough underscores Paracoat’s commitment to sustainability and positions the company at the forefront of eco-efficient material solutions for the automotive and industrial sectors.
 

Paracoat Products Limited, a pioneer in NVH solutions, presents its agro-material reinforced polypropylene composite masterbatch granules at Plast India Expo 2026
 

Plastic waste has emerged as one of the most pressing global environmental challenges, with India at the forefront of this crisis. The country currently generates an alarming 9.3 million tonnes of plastic waste annually – accounting for nearly 20 percent of the world’s total plastic pollution. This mounting problem not only threatens ecosystems but also places immense pressure on India’s waste management systems and climate commitments.
 

Paracoat addresses this challenge with composite granules developed using agro waste generated from jute, bamboo, wheat and rice cultivation enabling up to 50% reduction in plastic consumption. By converting agro-waste into valuable raw material, the company is helping India tackle two critical challenges: reducing reliance on fossil fuels and preventing the burning of agricultural residues, a major contributor to air pollution. The innovation delivers 24% lower CO₂ emissions compared to virgin plastics, aligning with India’s climate action goals and commitment to sustainable industrial growth. Engineered for seamless integration with injection and extrusion technologies, the granules can be blended effortlessly with existing polymer formulations. Manufacturers gain the flexibility to customize bio-filler loading while maintaining superior mechanical properties, dimensional stability, and productivity.
 

Mr. Rajesh Poddar, CEO at Paracoat Products Ltd. said, “At Paracoat Products, we believe the future of plastics must be defined by harmony between ecological balance and technological innovation. By harnessing agricultural residues as bio-fillers in our thermoplastic composites, we are setting new benchmarks for sustainable manufacturing. This initiative not only cuts carbon emissions but also directly supports India’s vision for a circular economy while tackling the pressing issue of air pollution caused by burning agro-waste.”
 

Paracoat is embedding this sustainability breakthrough into its own product portfolio, with applications across parcel shelves, door trims, cladding covers, and other automotive and industrial components. By integrating agro-material composites into its products, Paracoat demonstrates how Indian industry can lead by example in advancing the government’s vision of “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” while fostering innovation-driven growth.
 

With this launch, Paracoat Products Limited reinforces its role as a frontrunner in sustainable innovation. The company’s participation at Plast India Expo 2026 will highlight how industry-led initiatives can accelerate India’s transition toward eco-efficient manufacturing, reduce plastic dependency, and create value from agricultural residues in line with national priorities.

Cloudeva.ai Debuts as a Cloud Decision Intelligence Offering Public Preview Now Open

Cloudeva.ai, a cloud intelligence platform that differentiates itself through multi-cloud capabilities & an intelligent advisory bot, officially launches today, with a premise that organizations don’t have a cloud technology problem, they have a cloud decision problem.

 

Amit Gupta, Founder Rapyder and Cloudeva.ai

 

Built by teams with years of hands-on experience supporting cloud operations across large enterprises, Start-Ups & SMBs, the idea of the founders was to address a persistent operational blind spot. Many organizations still struggle to maintain auditable visibility into what changed in their cloud environments, who initiated them, and the business reasoning behind those decisions.

 

Amit Gupta (founder, cloudeva.ai), identified the pattern after years of working with leadership teams that manage complex, multi-cloud estates. Despite significant investments in infrastructure, security controls, and analytics tooling, companies repeatedly encountered the same issue during incidents, cost escalations, and audit reviews: explaining the rationale behind critical actions.

 

“After nearly a decade running Rapyder and working closely with CXOs, I realized most cloud problems weren’t caused by bad technology,” said Amit Gupta. “They were caused by unclear decisions – not knowing who changed what, why it was changed, who approved it, or whether it was the right call at the time. As environments scaled, this gap only widened.”

 

As enterprises expanded digitally across Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, governance practices fragmented across tools and teams while executive accountability remained centralized. The disconnect between operational complexity and leadership responsibility became the catalyst for building Cloudeva.ai.

 

“Execution without context creates noise,” said Athreya Ramadas (Co-Founder, Cloudeva.ai) “We’re building an offering that turns cloud data into governed, actionable insight – enabling organizations to scale with clarity, control, and confidence.”

 

Cloudeva.ai introduces a decision layer above existing infrastructure, finance, and security tooling. Rather than just reporting events, the system interprets change through business, financial, and regulatory context – helping organizations move from raw activity to accountable decision-making. The founders have opened cloudeva.ai for public preview till March 31st 2026. Preview participants can:

  • Experience AI-driven cloud decision intelligence in real environments

  • Shape governance workflows for regulated operations

  • Work directly with the Cloudeva.ai founding and product teams

 

Who It’s Designed For

  • Financial services and regulated enterprises managing audits and operational risk

  • Healthcare and compliance-driven organizations balancing innovation and governance

  • Large multi-cloud enterprises requiring cross-team visibility

  • CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, and CFOs who need explainable cloud decisions

 

Why This Matters Now

  • Multi-cloud environments are growing faster than governance models

  • Regulatory expectations around accountability continue to tighten

  • Decision opacity introduces financial and operational risk

  • Enterprises need clarity without slowing innovation

 

Cloudeva.ai exists to solve what slows modern organizations down- uncertainty. By combining deep expertise with a forward-looking approach, the company helps businesses build systems that are not just scalable, but intentional.

 

Cloudeva.ai aims to transform cloud complexity into clear, confident action.

Chinmaya Mission: When a Movement Turns 75, A Nation Pauses to Reflect

On a quiet morning in 1951, a monk guided by deep inner conviction and spiritual clarity began a journey that would touch millions of lives across continents. Swami Chinmayananda did not merely set up an institution—he ignited a movement. A movement rooted in Vedanta, yet alive to the needs of a modern, restless world.

 

Veer Hanuman, the presiding deity at the Chinmaya Mission Ashram in Sector-37, Noida, has been a perennial source of inspiration and inner strength for thousands of devotees


Seventy-five years later, that flame continues to inspire individuals, families, and communities across India and beyond.


Across the country, the Chinmaya Mission is marking this historic milestone as Chinmaya Amrit Mahotsav—a year-long commemoration of seven and a half decades of sustained work in value-based education, cultural awareness, spiritual inquiry, and selfless service. More than an anniversary, the occasion represents a moment of collective remembrance, gratitude, and renewed commitment to the Mission’s founding ideals.


At the heart of the Chinmaya Movement lies a simple yet enduring vision articulated by its founder, “To give maximum happiness to the maximum number for the maximum time.”


This vision has been pursued through the dissemination of Vedantic wisdom, with an emphasis on clarity of thought, strength of character, and responsible participation in society.


A Living Legacy, Rooted in Community
In Noida, this legacy has quietly taken shape for over three decades. Chinmaya Mission Noida, located in the state of Uttar Pradesh, has evolved into an active centre for spiritual learning and community engagement. Through structured programmes for families, children, youth, and senior members—including Balvihars, youth forums, study groups, devotional gatherings, and cultural activities—the centre has played a consistent role in nurturing values-based living across generations.


As part of the Chinmaya Amrit Mahotsav celebrations, the Noida centre is bringing together the wider community for a landmark spiritual observance that reflects both tradition and contemporary relevance.


A Morning of Collective Prayer and Purpose
On 7 February 2026, from 8:30 a.m. onwards, the Football Ground at Noida Stadium will host a large-scale Sri Hanuman Hawan and Sri Hanuman Chalisa Pathotsav. More than 5,000 participants (including 2500+ school students) are expected to attend the programme, which has been conceived as a collective invocation for harmony and well-being.


The central intent of the gathering is threefold:

 

  • To promote environmental sensitivity and healing

  • To foster peace at a societal and global level

  • To seek the welfare of families and citizens of India


Dr Mahesh Sharma, Member of Parliament from Gautam Budh Nagar, will attend the event as Chief Guest, reflecting the broader civic and social relevance of the occasion.


More Than a Ritual—A Shared Experience
A defining feature of the programme is its scale and inclusivity. Over 2,500 students from more than 20 schools across Noida and Greater Noida are expected to participate. The observance will also see participation from several spiritual and service organisations, including the Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organization, The Divine Life Society, Baba Neem Karoli Ashram, Sri Ram Sharanam, along with other like-minded institutions. Invitations have been extended to nearby temples, devotional singing groups, and community associations across the region.


Open and free for all, the gathering is designed as a shared space where individuals from different age groups and backgrounds come together in collective prayer, reflection, and community engagement.


Why It Matters Today
In a time characterised by rapid change, increasing pressures, and social fragmentation, Chinmaya Amrit Mahotsav seeks to offer a moment of pause and reflection. The observance draws upon India’s long-standing civilisational values that emphasise unity, harmony, and collective well-being, reminding participants of the importance of inner balance alongside external progress.


As the Chinmaya Movement completes 75 years, the commemoration is not limited to recalling past achievements. It represents a forward-looking reaffirmation of a living tradition-one that continues to contribute to personal development, social cohesion, and a broader sense of national and global responsibility.


On that February morning in Noida, amidst collective prayer and shared intent, the Chinmaya story will continue to unfold—quietly, steadily, and through lives shaped by enduring values.

Sunmeister Energy: Engineering Reliable Power and Energy Solutions for Indian Realities

At Swayambhu Farm in Odisha, a farmer checks his hybrid solar cold storage unit, fully electric, steady at 4°C through the entire monsoon season. His mangoes will reach market in perfect condition. Eight hundred kilometres north, at 16,000 feet in high altitude observation posts, where temperatures plunge to -50°C and conditions become barely livable for humans, a Sunmeister solar hybrid generator operates in silence powering communications and essential equipment through conditions that would defeat most machines.

 

https://www.newsvoir.com/images/article/image1/34520_Sunmeister_Press_Collage_SquareGrid.jpg

Sunmeister Energy- Engineering Reliable Power and Energy Solutions for Indian Realities


From coastal farmland to Himalayan peaks, this is what Sunmeister Energy has spent a decade building: solar hybrid power that people never have to think about.


Starting with the right question
Founded in Chennai in 2014, Sunmeister began not with solar panels but with a deeper question: How do you make power and energy truly dependable , across India’s diverse terrains and regardless of grid conditions?


The answer led to a storage-first philosophy that would define everything the company built. Rather than treating solar as a standalone solution, Sunmeister engineered holistic solar hybrid power and energy systems intelligently combining solar generation, battery storage, grid power, and generators into ecosystems that think for themselves.


These systems switch seamlessly between power sources, protect sensitive equipment, and keep critical loads running regardless of external conditions. The panels matter, certainly. But they’re one instrument in an orchestra, not a solo act.


Holistic, not standalone
A solar panel on a roof is just the beginning. True energy independence requires a complete ecosystem – generation, storage, backup, monitoring, and intelligent management working together.


Sunmeister designs holistic power and energy solutions where every component serves the whole. Batteries store excess solar generation for use after dark. Inverters manage the flow between solar, grid, and backup sources. Smart monitoring tracks performance and anticipates maintenance needs. The result isn’t a collection of parts, it’s an integrated system engineered for reliability across every condition.


This holistic approach means clients don’t worry about individual components. They simply have power when they need it.


A problem-solving approach
Every Sunmeister project starts with listening. What are the critical loads? What are the site conditions? What does reliability actually mean for this client?


The team works backwards – designing systems that meet specific requirements rather than offering off-the-shelf configurations. A healthcare centre in Nagaland has different needs than a factory in Chennai or a farmhouse in Odisha.


When hybrid generators were needed for forward posts at high altitudes , or marine applications. Sunmeister’s team spent weeks understanding extreme cold conditions refining designs for reliability at -50°C. When farmers needed cold storage that could survive monsoons, Sunmeister developed India’s first fully electric, hybrid solar cold rooms – zero-diesel and now deployed across Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, and Odisha.


India’s leading Victron Energy partner
Sunmeister is India’s foremost distributor and solution provider for Victron Energy – a Dutch power electronics company with nearly five decades of experience in marine, off-grid, and mission-critical applications. It’s technology trusted on ocean-crossing yachts and Antarctic research stations.


As authorised distributors, Sunmeister provides access to the full Victron product range. As design and solution providers, the team engineers complete systems tailored to Indian conditions. As service partners, they deliver installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance.


Remote monitoring through Victron’s VRM platform provides real-time visibility into system performance. Issues are identified and addressed before they become problems.


Designed for India
Global technology alone wasn’t enough. Every component and installation practice had to be adapted for Indian conditions: summers, coastal humidity, fine dust, monsoon rains, voltage fluctuations.


Over a decade of on-ground experience shaped an approach where nothing is assumed and everything is engineered for resilience. Today, with over 600 installations operational and failure rate under 0.1%, Sunmeister has earned a reputation for solar hybrid systems that simply work—day after day, year after year.


Trusted across sectors
The company’s journey has taken it from Chennai rooftops to healthcare centres in Nagaland, from the National Blind School to the French Consulate in Puducherry. The client portfolio spans homes, commercial establishments, factories, farms, hospitals, educational institutions, government bodies, development organisations including UNDP and UNICEF, and defence installations.


What unites them: power they can count on, every single time.


Engineering for the long term
Sunmeister doesn’t compete on being the cheapest. The focus is on lowest total cost of ownership, holistic solar hybrid systems engineered for 15–25 years of service life, backed by warranties that match.


At its core, Sunmeister Energy is built on a simple belief: power and energy should be something people never have to worry about. Not during monsoons. Not at -50°C. Not when everything depends on it.


About Sunmeister Energy Pvt. Ltd.
Sunmeister Energy is a Chennai-based solar hybrid power and energy solutions company founded in 2014. As India’s leading Victron Energy distributor and solution provider, the company designs, installs, and maintains holistic solar, storage, and hybrid power and energy systems across India and international markets.

The Canadian minister was speaking at the event ‘Beyond Diplomacy: People, Knowledge and Youth as the Future of India-Canada Relations’ held at Chandigarh University where she was part of a high-level Canadian delegation visiting India to explore deeper trade, academic, research and economic collaborations.
 

On Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s visit to India in March this year, which comes at a time when India has recently concluded major trade agreements with the European Union and the United States, Sawhney said, “The Prime Minister’s visit presents an important opportunity to strengthen India-Canada trade ties and identify new areas of economic cooperation. As both countries look to diversify markets and deepen engagement, this visit can help translate shared intent into tangible trade outcomes. There is great potential for trade, cultural exchange and knowledge transfer and I expect the discussions between the two prime ministers to be fruitful and forward-looking.”
 

While speaking on research, energy and sustainability, the Canadian Minister highlighted the growing scope for institutional collaboration between Indian and Canadian universities, particularly in energy, de-carbonization, sustainability, AI, Quantum technology and agri-technology. She emphasized that establishing strong relationships between post-secondary institutions is the first step toward meaningful research partnerships.
 

Sawhney further added, “Once connections between universities are established, opportunities naturally arise. The seed funding for research often comes not only from governments but also from universities themselves, private sector players, non-profits and other agencies. Canadian institutions are actively looking for the right global partners and such collaborations have materialized organically in the past through academic introductions.”
 

Meanwhile, Senior Managing Director, Chandigarh University, Deep Inder Singh Sandhu extended collaboration offers to the Canadian minister across academics, research and innovation, clean energy and sustainability.
 

Responding to the proposal, Sawhney said, “We will take this forward through strong institution-to-institution connect and work closely with Chandigarh University to explore meaningful collaboration. CCUS is the future, and we already have universities in Canada actively working on Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage technologies to address climate challenges. Beyond that, there is immense scope for joint work in clean energy, sustainability, artificial intelligence, agri-technology and advanced research, where our institutions can learn from each other and create real-world impact.”
 

On international education, the Canadian Minister said, “Canada’s quota for international students has not been fully utilized, and Indian students can still apply. Global student preferences are evolving, with countries like Australia seeing increased interest, but opportunities remain in Canada. The students from India receive high quality education in Canada and they can bring back that knowledge, technology and learning to Punjab and India. At the same time, institutions like Chandigarh University play an equally important role by retaining talent within India.”
 

On the suspension of in-person consular services in Indian cities like Chandigarh, Mumbai and Bengaluru and visa-related concerns, Sawhney said, “Consular services are a federal matter, but we will take up the issue with our federal counterparts and advocate for the expansion of services to address the concerns of Indian students and professionals.”
 

On racial discrimination, Sawhney said, “It is challenge that exist globally, but the Canadian government follows a zero-tolerance policy against such discrimination.”
 

Speaking about her Indian roots at Phagwara in Punjab, Sawhney said, “Visiting my ancestral village near Phagwara after 25 years was an emotional experience, and I was deeply touched by the warmth and respect I received. In 2023, I also brought my children to Chandigarh to show them our family home.”
 

In response to a question regarding Canada becoming second home to Punjabis, Sawhney said, “Canada has not simply become a second home for Punjabis but Punjabis have earned that place through their hard work, resilience and contribution to Canada. The Indian diaspora, particularly from Punjab, has played a significant role in Canada’s growth and development. If you look at the talent pool across sectors in Canada, Punjabis form one of the strongest and most visible communities. In many ways, Punjab has become a second home to Canada, and that bond has been built through effort, trust and contribution.”
