In the spirit of producing world-class watches that tell stories from modern India, Bangalore Watch Company™ celebrates humanity’s first confirmed interstellar discovery with a new watch in the Apogee collection. The new watch is called – The Visitor.

Visitor amidst space rocks

“We launched the Apogee collection in 2021 as India’s first space-qualified watch. Since then, it has been our way of celebrating stories of space exploration through world-class watchmaking. With this new watch, we carry that vision forward by bringing to life a story that started far beyond our solar system,” said Nirupesh Joshi, Co-founder and Creative Director of the brand.

The story of the Visitor goes back to 2017, when astronomers saw an interstellar object passing through our solar system at an extraordinary speed. It had come from another star system, making it the first interstellar object ever observed by humanity. This rare discovery changed the way we think about space, reminding us of the vastness of the universe. It was this discovery that inspired the idea behind the Visitor.

The brand has chosen a Meteorite from outer space to use in the watch, the Muonionalusta meteorite – one of the oldest materials on Earth. Meteorites are extremely hard to work with, but after precision and patience, the Meteorites reveal natural crystalline patterns that make every piece unique. The brand has used this rare material in the Apogee collection since 2021, and in the Visitor, a rare black Meteorite has been used for the dial.

“Our customers love the fact that they get to wear a watch that is unlike any other; they’re extremely rare and the patterns make them unique,” said Mercy Amalraj, Co-founder and Head of Ownership Experience.

The Visitor is housed in a case crafted from Cerasteel™, Bangalore Watch Company’s proprietary material that blends high-grade steel with an advanced ceramic coating for strength and refinement. The watch is powered by a highly accurate Swiss Automatic movement, water resistant up to 100M, and designed for everyday wear. The watches are manufactured with the highest standards of Swiss timekeeping with the brand’s in-house watchmakers in Bangalore. The Visitor is a fragment of cosmic history, to carry on the wrist.

The Visitor is priced at INR 216,000/-. The watches can be ordered through the brand’s website www.bangalorewatchco.in starting today.

The Argentine Football Association (AFA), reigning FIFA World Cup Champions, has appointed Druid Sport as its exclusive commercial representative in the Indian subcontinent.

Druid Sport Appointed as Exclusive Commercial Representative of the Argentine Football Association in the Indian Subcontinent

This landmark agreement will see Druid Sport manage and sell regional sponsorship rights for the Argentina National Teams, giving businesses across the Indian subcontinent direct access to one of football’s most iconic teams and its legendary players. With established partnerships in India already, including brands such as Amul and Kingfisher, the commercial potential is clear. The period leading up to the FIFA World Cup 2026 offers a powerful platform for new partners to activate campaigns, engage fans, and align with the reigning World Champions.

This collaboration comes as Argentina prepare to visit Kerala this November for a special international friendly, in the lead up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign, which is expected to be global superstar Lionel Messi’s last World Cup appearance. The AFA has one of the largest and most passionate followings in the region. From the extraordinary welcome Diego Maradona received on his visit to India, to the overwhelming support for Lionel Messi and the National Team during the 2022 FIFA World Cup, millions of fans across India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and beyond have embraced Argentina as their own. With more than 250 million fans in India alone, the subcontinent has become one of the largest and most passionate Argentinian fan bases outside South America.

Druid Sport is a boutique international sports marketing agency with a track record of delivering cross-market partnerships for major sports properties. Already exclusively representing AFA in China, Druid Sport now manages AFA’s rights in two of the world’s most dynamic regions – China and the Indian subcontinent, together representing nearly half of the global population. As part of its long-term commitment to this market, Druid Sport is opening a new office in India to serve regional partners, seed new initiatives and commercial programmes and scale operations within this rapidly growing sports ecosystem.

Diarmuid Crowley, Chief Executive Officer, Druid Sport, said, “We are honoured to represent the FIFA World Cup Champions in one of the most passionate football regions in the world. Our goal is to bring Argentina closer to the millions of fans across the Indian subcontinent and to create meaningful partnerships between AFA and leading regional brands. With our presence now spanning both China and India, we are uniquely positioned to connect the Argentina National Team with audiences that together make up almost half the world’s population.”

Claudio Tapia, President of the Argentine Football Association, commented, “We know the passion that South Asian fans have for our team, and we are excited to strengthen this connection through our new partnership with Druid Sport. Its proven expertise in Asia will help us expand our commercial presence and deliver unforgettable experiences for our fans and partners in the region. Looking beyond this year, we feel confident these new associations will build lasting relationships with key business partners, inspiring even greater enthusiasm to play and watch this beautiful game for generations to come.”

In a market where half-truths and hidden histories often shadow used car purchases, CARS24 has introduced a radical industry-first assurance, the CARS24 Guarantee powered by PDI. The initiative guarantees Rs. 50,000 if any critical error is found in its Advanced Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) reports powered by CarTruth, CARS24’s proprietary inspection technology.

CARS24 backs its PDI reports with Rs. 50,000, bringing transparency to India’s pre-owned car market

The move makes CARS24 the first company in India’s auto sector to financially underwrite the accuracy of its own inspection reports, setting a new benchmark for transparency and accountability.

According to industry reports, India’s used car market, already larger than the new car market and projected to reach Rs. 4.5 lakh crore by 2030, is undergoing a transformation. While over 70% of transactions still occur through unorganized players, data-led PDI adoption is rising sharply, with thousands of buyers now opting for digital inspections before finalizing a car purchase.

This festive season alone, CARS24 has recorded an 500% increase in PDI bookings, reflecting a clear behavioural shift among Indian used-car buyers, from relying on intuition to seeking verified assurance.

The growth has been most pronounced in Delhi NCR, Bengaluru , Mumbai and Hyderabad with Tier-2 cities such as Ahmedabad, Indore, and Chandigarh also showing accelerated adoption. The trend signals a larger market evolution, one where data-led inspections are rapidly replacing the leap of faith that has long defined India’s used car ecosystem.

“Every maturing market moves from emotion to evidence. The PDI Guarantee signals that shift for India, it marks the moment when belief in a car’s story will finally depend on data, not on the dealer” Gajendra Jangid, Co-founder & CMO, CARS24

Bringing India Closer to Global Standards
In mature markets like the US and UK, pre-purchase inspections and verified car histories have been standard for years, supported by platforms like Carfax and AutoCheck. The PDI Guarantee bridges that gap in India, giving local buyers a level of confidence comparable to global benchmarks.

CARS24’s Advanced PDI, powered by CarTruth, runs over 300 AI-driven checks covering accident and flood damage, odometer rollbacks, repainting, theft or blacklist records, and ownership verification. The Rs. 50,000 PDI Guarantee applies to critical misses such as:

• Undisclosed accident or flood history

• Odometer rollbacks exceeding 2%

• Theft or blacklist cases missed

• Incorrect ownership records

• Repainting errors overlooked

PDI reports have quickly emerged as one of the most sought-after pre-purchase tools among Indian car buyers. Tens of thousands of customers have already used CARS24’s Advanced PDI before buying, a number that continues to grow every month.

By backing its report accuracy with a cash-backed guarantee, CARS24 aims to close the lingering trust gap and drive widespread adoption of standardized inspections in India’s used car ecosystem.

A New Standard for the Industry
With the PDI Guarantee, CARS24 becomes the first autotech company in India to assign real financial value to truth. In an industry long governed by assumptions, the company’s approach signals a shift toward a more transparent, technology-led, and customer-first marketplace.

About CARS24
Since its inception in 2015, CARS24 has been on a mission to simplify car ownership for everyone. Offering services such as buying, selling, loans, insurance, scrapping and more, CARS24 is the ultimate automotive super app. Through CARS24 Financial Services, the company also provides innovative vehicle lending solutions, further enhancing its customer offerings.

As twinkling lights brighten the streets and the aroma of festive delicacies fills our homes, the season of celebration is all about savouring Flavors together. This year, there’s a way to make the joy of festive meals even more delightful – by adding broccoli. With its vibrant green appeal, wholesome nutrition, and ability to soak up spices, broccoli adds a refreshing twist that makes festive dishes both healthy and tasty.

Balance is beautiful with broccoli on your plate

A New-Age Twist to Traditional Feasts
From family get-togethers to festive dinners, broccoli can seamlessly blend into Indian favourites while elevating their flavour and nutrition. Picture it roasted with a dash of masala, tossed into a colourful sabzi, grilled on skewers for a starter, or stirred into a creamy curry. Its versatility means it not only pairs well with Indian ingredients but also brings a freshness and crunch that makes every bite more exciting.

Healthy Can Be Indulgent Too
The best part about broccoli is that it proves balance doesn’t mean compromise. When paired with festive flavours, it feels indulgent while still offering a nourishing edge. From broccoli-stuffed parathas to fusion snacks like broccoli tikki sliders, it brings creativity and variety to the table – turning everyday recipes into festive delights.

Why Broccoli Deserves a Spot on Your Festive Menu

• Helps Maintain Digestive Balance:

• Heavy festive foods can leave you sluggish. Broccoli, rich in fiber, supports smoother digestion and gut health – helping you enjoy your favorite dishes without the post-meal bloat.

• Boosts Immunity During Seasonal Change:

• With a powerful punch of Vitamin C, antioxidants, and sulforaphane, broccoli helps your body fight off infections and strengthens your immune response – just in time for the weather swings and busy social calendar.

• Pairs Perfectly with Indian Spices:

• It’s a myth that healthy food is bland. Broccoli absorbs masalas, marinades, and herbs like magic – making it ideal for festive curries, kebabs, and bhurjis.

• Light Yet Nourishing:

• Skip the food coma. Broccoli provides iron, potassium, folic acid, and essential vitamins without weighing you down – perfect for mid-party meals or post-celebration resets.

Ideas to Celebrate with Broccoli

• Tandoori Broccoli Skewers for your Diwali house party

• Broccoli & Paneer Stuffed Parathas for a festive brunch

• Broccoli Almond Soup as a pre-dinner palate cleanser

• Broccoli Pakoras for a crunchy, crowd-pleasing snack

• Green Detox Smoothie with broccoli, mint, apple & cucumber – perfect for the day after

Celebrate With Intention
Whether you’re hosting grand get-togethers or enjoying intimate gatherings, festive joy doesn’t have to mean letting go of mindful choices. By adding vibrant, nutritious ingredients like broccoli to your celebrations, you’re not only feeding your body right – youre embracing a more balanced and intentional way of living.

So this festive season, light up your life and your plate with something green, something good – something broccoli.
