Bharat Soka Gakkai (BSG), an organization promoting peace, culture, education and sustainability, organized its fifth Sustainability Conclave on April 29, 2026, in New Delhi with the theme Building Resilient Futures: Climate, Communities and Collective Strength, highlighting the importance of collective action in addressing climate change and fostering sustainable communities.

Chief Guest Veditha Reddy (IAS, Edu.& Sports, Delhi); Aditi Haldar, Vimlendu Jha, Justice Michael Wilson, Shashank Shah, Ripu D. Bevli, Namrta Bangia; BSG Chairperson Vishesh Gupta

As nature’s limits become starkly evident, just last year in 2025, India faced extreme weather on 99% of days, claiming 4,419 lives (up 45% in 4 years), damaging 17.4 million hectares of crops (up 9x), destroying 181,459 homes, and killing 77,189 animals – underscoring that urgent action is needed.

The conclave, held at the Chinmaya Mission Auditorium in New Delhi, brought together thought leaders, experts, and sustainability enthusiasts to explore the challenges and opportunities for creating a sustainable future.

In his inaugural address, BSG Chairperson Mr. Vishesh Gupta said, “Sustainability has to be more than a survival manual; it has to be a celebration of our shared life, our shared struggles, and our shared resilience. We don’t need a handful of people doing sustainability perfectly. We do need millions of people who may not be doing it perfectly, but are committed to doing it together”.

Ms. Veditha Reddy, IAS – Director, Education & Sports, Govt. of NCT of Delhi, was the Chief Guest & Keynote Speaker at the conclave. In her keynote address, she said “sustainability is often taken in a negative connotation and associated with sacrifice. But sustainability is a mindset. Small daily actions come together to make a difference in our lives. It is also true that we need to have right policies and each and every stakeholder needs to rise to the occasion whether it is the policy maker, implementers, the public or students. Every action really matters.”

The conclave included a panel discussion by renowned speakers such as Justice Michael D. Wilson (Adjunct Faculty – Jindal Global Law School); Dr. Shashank Shah (Senior Public Policy Specialist, Author); Mr. Vimlendu Jha (Environmentalist, Founder – Swechha); Mr. Ripudaman Singh Bevli (Plogman of India); and Dr. Aditi Haldar (Director, South Asia – Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)). The panel discussion was moderated by Ms. Namrta Bangia (Senior Director – Global Mass Transit).

“The climate emergency upends the historically gradual evolution of the rule of law to address injustice.  Faced with the climate emergency, Judges have little time—perhaps seven years—to apply the rule of law to protect the rights of citizens to a life sustaining climate.  Absent unprecedented judicial independence, climate injustice will persist, and the rule of law will erode as cascading environmental catastrophe ensues.”, said Justice Michael D Wilson, who believes in the power of the rule of law to advance climate justice.  

Mr. Vimlendu Jha said, “Climate change is no longer a theory—it’s a lived reality affecting our lives and ecosystems every day. The crisis demands urgent, responsible leadership, especially from young people. This is not a distant threat—it’s here and now. There is no Planet B.”

“Happy to be part of the Conclave, contributing to conversations on building a more resilient future. We often discuss climate resilience at policy tables. But on the ground, communities can’t afford to wait. My work focuses on enabling climate resilience through community-led governance where young people step up to solve challenges of their places instead of waiting for government action. Because resilience isn’t built in frameworks alone. It’s built on ground.” said Mr. Ripudaman Singh Bevli. 

Dr. Aditi Haldar said, “Economic growth and environmental responsibility are no longer opposing goals. If a billion citizens make mindful choices every day, India’s path to a $1 trillion economy becomes not just achievable, but sustainable”.

Ms. Namrta Bangia added, “Climate resilience begins with people—the same people who design our systems, shape our policies, build industries, and imagine the future. When individuals, communities, and institutions move together, even small actions can create a transformative impact”.

As a testament to the power of small actions, two young changemakers from Mothers’ Mount Global School shared how their BSG-supported SDG Club reduced paper use by 30–40%, cut waste, and conserved energy, extending these practices into homes and communities. Another individual spoke of her inner transformation, which led her to start a skills training centre in Bihar, enabling 20 women to build livelihoods and uplift their communities.

In conjunction with the conclave, BSG arranged a sustainability exhibition titled ‘Seeds of Hope & Action: Making the SDGs a Reality’, to bring home the message about the ’Power of One’ to create a more sustainable world, and about adopting ‘Sustainable Human Behaviour’ as a way of life. With this conclave, BSG is determined to advance towards achieving the SDGs by 2030 without leaving even a single person behind.

• Orange Health Labs reports ₹138 Cr FY26 Revenue, 65% YoY Growth

• Bengaluru achieves 20% EBITDA profitability

• Scaled retail footprint with 75 company-owned collection centers 

• 99%+ on-time sample collections

Orange Health Labs today announced strong financial performance for FY26, reporting ₹138 crore in revenue and exiting the year at a ₹180 crore ARR, marking a 65% year-on-year growth for both LTM revenue and ARR. With over 3 million orders served to date, the company reinforces its position as India’s fastest diagnostic lab and among the fastest-growing consumer healthcare brands in the country.

From left to right: Tarun Bhambra and Dhruv Gupta, Co-founders of Orange Health Labs

Headquartered in Bengaluru, the company has scaled its presence across Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, and Hyderabad, building a strong multi-city footprint.

Along with fast scaling, the company hit key milestones on profitability as well – it achieved 20% EBITDA profitability in Bengaluru, and became operationally profitable across all cities, underscoring its strong unit economics and a sustainable growth model.

Orange Health Labs continued to deepen its consumer promise of speed and reliability, delivering 99%+ on-time sample collection. It also scaled its omnichannel presence, from 15 stores last year to 75+ company-owned collection centres, with almost 50 stores in Bengaluru, bringing its differentiated at-home experience into physical retail.

Beyond direct-to-consumer services, the company has built a strong healthcare ecosystem. With 2,000+ clinics onboarded through its proprietary platform, it enables faster diagnosis and better clinical decision-making for doctors. 

Orange Health Labs is among the top-rated diagnostic brands in the country, with 50,000+ five-star Google reviews, reinforcing consistent consumer experience and growing brand trust. 

The company also advanced its digital innovation stack with NeO Reports which enables customers to get a quick view of their health parameters, filter, tag and share easily with their family and healthcare providers. Additionally, the company launched Orange One—a first-of-its-kind annual diagnostics plan in India – moving beyond the traditional pay-per-test model to enable proactive, long-term health management.

Commenting on this milestone, Dhruv Gupta, Co-founder, Orange Health Labs, said, “This year marks a defining inflection point for us. Delivering strong growth across all cities, alongside profitability in our home market, validates the strength of our model. More importantly, it reflects a deep and growing consumer trust in a category that has traditionally lacked it. Our focus has been simple—build the fastest, most reliable diagnostics experience—and the market is responding to that clarity.”

Adding to this, Tarun Bhambra, Co-founder, Orange Health Labs, added, “We are reimagining diagnostics as a real-time, consumer-first service—where speed, accuracy, and transparency are non-negotiable. Operational excellence, like 30-minute sample collection and 6-hour report delivery, is just the starting point. With innovations like NeO Reports and Orange One, we are moving the category from reactive testing to proactive health management at scale.”

Backed by leading global investors including Y Combinator, Accel, General Catalyst, Bertelsmann India Investments, and Amazon Sambhav Venture Fund, the company has raised a total of $50 million to date.

Monitra Health, the medtech company behind upBeat® – a full-stack remote cardiac monitoring platform – has closed a new round of funding led by IAN Group, with participation from New Age India Fund, Lavni Ventures, VCMint, Global HealthX (led by Dr. Ravindranath Kancherla), We Founder Circle, Hyderabad Angels, and prominent angels and family offices of healthcare operators including Dr. Ramesh Kancherla.
 

Monitra Healthcare Founders – From L to R – Sashank Bhogu, Aparna Bhogu and Ravi Bhogu
 

The round marks a strong vote of confidence in Monitra’s clinical maturity, IP depth, and global ambition. When Monitra Health closed its funding round in December 2023, the story was about potential. Two years on, that thesis has been decisively validated. Monitra is no longer building the category – it is defining it.
 

Expanding clinical and commercial scale

• 50,000+ patients monitored on the upBeat® platform – a 5x jump from 10,000 at the time of the previous round, reflecting both deeper hospital adoption and broader physician preference.

• 10+ billion heartbeats analyzed, one of the largest proprietary high-resolution continuous ECG datasets.

• Revenue has grown 11x over the past four years, driven by disciplined execution, capital efficiency, and an expanding base of prescribing clinicians.

• Leading hospital adoption: trusted by marquee networks & clinicians from Manipal, Apollo, Aster and AIG, with an expanding footprint across Tier 1-Tier 4 cities in India.

A rare full-stack category position

Remote cardiac monitoring is projected to grow from USD 4.1 billion in 2024 to USD 12 billion by 2034 (11.3% CAGR, Market.us 2026). Yet the full-stack opportunity – owning the device, signal-acquisition technology, clinical reporting workflow and analytics layer – remains concentrated among a small handful of incumbents globally. Monitra is among a small group of companies globally to have built a full-stack platform end-to-end to have built that full stack end-to-end, powered by its proprietary XtremeSpan™, NanoVue™ and DeepFind™ technology and a dataset of billions of real-world heartbeats. This vertical integration drives upBeat®’s diagnostic precision, cost advantage and scalability – and makes the company structurally hard to replicate.
 

Why clinicians, hospitals, and global talent are aligning
Seasoned global medtech operators and leading cardiologists and electrophysiologists are aligning with Monitra as advisors, collaborators, and champions. For hospital systems, upBeat® is both a clinical and commercial lever: continuous monitoring captures arrhythmic events that short-duration tests miss – improving diagnostic yield, accelerating the path to the right intervention, and driving better patient outcomes – while opening a recurring, reimbursable revenue stream for cardiology service lines that scales with no proportional increase in clinician time or operational overhead.
 

The road ahead
Monitra enters its next phase of growth from a position of unusual strength for a medtech company at this stage – a proven product, growing clinical footprint, 11x revenue growth, strong IP, a maturing international regulatory pathway, and a category position rare anywhere in the world. The focus over the coming quarters is clear: accelerate global certifications, scale commercial reach within India, and continue building the clinical, scientific and organizational depth of a company operating on a global stage.
 

In their words:

“Our last round was about proving this could work. This one is about proving it can work everywhere. Crossing 50,000 patients, analyzing over 10 billion heartbeats, and growing revenue 11x has moved upBeat® from a promising platform to an indispensable one for a growing number of clinicians. We are grateful to this set of investors for backing that future with us,” Ravi Bhogu, Founder & CEO, Monitra Health.

“We are truly upBeat about our investment in Monitra Health. It is rare to find a company that combines strong IP, patented technology, cost advantage, and a world-class product built in India for global markets. With growing adoption among leading hospitals and cardiologists, Monitra has demonstrated both innovation and execution. We believe the company has the potential to become a global leader in cardiac monitoring – from India to the world,” Avinash Kalia, New Age India Fund.

“We first backed Monitra when the thesis was still being tested. Doubling down today is one of the easier decisions we have made — the clinical footprint has scaled 5x, revenue has grown 11x, the IP has deepened, and the team has stayed remarkably disciplined with capital. Monitra has exactly the kind of deep-tech healthcare solutions India should be exporting to the world,” Vasu Guruswamy, Co-founder & General Partner, Lavni Ventures.

“As practicing clinicians, we see the diagnostic gap in heart rhythm disorders every day. What Monitra has built is genuinely rare — a device and reporting workflow that is clinician-grade in accuracy, patient-friendly in design, and affordable enough to reach the populations that need it most. Global HealthX is privileged to support this team as they take it worldwide,” Dr. Ravindranath Kancherla, Global HealthX.

About Monitra Health
Monitra Health is building upBeat®, a full-stack remote cardiac monitoring platform and one of the few vertically integrated players in the global category. By owning the stack across wearable hardware, proprietary signal-acquisition technology, cloud software, analytics and clinical reporting, Monitra has created a defensible position in a fast-growing global category. Monitra’s innovation is backed by patents granted in the United States, Australia and India, with additional filings underway.

The Bharath Digital Infrastructure Association (BDIA) today announced Bharat Digital Samvad – India’s first dedicated national forum on digital sovereignty and infrastructure policy. Convening on 20 May 2026 at the Shangri-La, New Delhi, the summit will simultaneously mark the formal public launch of BDIA as India’s dedicated not-for-profit industry body committed to advancing sovereign digital infrastructure.

The forum will bring together senior leaders from cloud infrastructure, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), and data platforms, alongside policymakers, regulators, academia, and innovators, to forge an actionable roadmap for India’s next digital decade.

The Strategic Moment: Why Now, Why BDIA

India stands at an inflection point. As the country transitions into one of the world’s largest digital economies, the infrastructure that underpins that economy – cloud compute, AI systems, data storage, identity platforms – remains heavily concentrated in the hands of global providers. BDIA was established to change this.

BDIA is India’s dedicated policy–industry platform for strengthening domestic capabilities across critical technology layers: cloud, AI, compute infrastructure, and data systems. It operates at the intersection of national security, economic value creation, and technological self-reliance – three imperatives that can no longer be treated in isolation.

At the heart of this effort is the principle of Data Swaraj, India’s sovereign right to determine how its data is collected, stored, governed, and monetised. Data Swaraj is not a slogan; it is an operational imperative for a nation whose digital economy is projected to reach $1 trillion by 2030.

Bharat Digital Samvad: From Dialogue to Direction

Bharat Digital Samvad is designed for outcomes, not optics. The summit is structured to move beyond discussion panels toward concrete policy alignment and deliverable outputs that industry and government can act upon the very next day.

The Forum will culminate in a set of key deliverables, including a structured policy brief translating multi-stakeholder deliberations into actionable recommendations for MeitY, TRAI, and other relevant ministries. It will also outline a proposed Digital Industrial Policy Framework, identifying specific levers such as taxation, procurement preferences, R&D incentives, and market access to accelerate the growth of India-built digital products. In addition, the forum will seek to quantify India’s dependence on foreign technology and map a clear pathway towards greater digital self-reliance.

Leadership Voices

Piyush Somani, President, BDIA and Promoter, Chairman & Managing Director, ESDS Software Solution Ltd., said, “India has built one of the world’s most ambitious digital infrastructures. The next chapter is about ensuring that the control, governance, and value created by this infrastructure remain within India. Data Swaraj is no longer a future aspiration- it is an operational imperative. Bharat Digital Samvad is the moment industry and policy align to make that happen.”

Abhishek Bhatt, Secretary General, BDIA, said, “India had early leadership across key internet categories, from email platforms such as Rediff and Sify, to search engines like Khoj, and e-commerce initiatives such as Indiatimes. What we lacked was a Digital Industrial Policy that gave domestic players the room and the tools to compete, global players came to dominate these spaces. Today, with Atmanirbhar Bharat as national policy and a generation of founders ready to build at scale, we have a second chance. Bharat Digital Samvad and the launch of BDIA mark India’s determination not to miss it again.”
