Dangal TV ranked #1 globally in YouTube views for July in Media & Entertainment and Films & Movies categories, as per the Tubular Leaderboard​

Alongside this leadership ranking, the Dangal TV YouTube channel has also crossed 50 million subscribers, cementing its position among the Top 100 global YouTube channels.

This milestone places Dangal TV at the very top of global digital entertainment, outperforming some of the world’s most renowned channels, including Spidey, Zee TV, Sony SAB, YRF, and SET India.

The achievement is the culmination of a journey that began in 2017, when Dangal TV first entered YouTube with modest ambitions. Competing against global players in a crowded space, the channel faced early challenges but stayed rooted in its vision – telling authentic stories from India’s heartland. By adapting to the needs of digital-first audiences while remaining true to its identity, Dangal TV steadily built a loyal community of viewers.

Manish Singhal, Managing Director, said,“Dangal TVs No.1 ranking for two consecutive months across global leaderboards is a proud milestone in our digital journey. It highlights the trust our audiences place in us, strengthens our vision of bringing India’s heartland stories to a global stage, and reinforces our confidence in achieving many more milestones in the journey ahead.”

Speaking on this achievement, Candice Gaudinier, Director of Content Marketing, Chartbeat and Tubular, said, “Tubular’s mission has always been to spotlight platforms and creators who drive meaningful engagement at scale. Dangal TV’s #1 ranking in both India and globally within the Film and Movies genre on YouTube is a remarkable achievement. It highlights how a brand rooted in India’s heartland stories can resonate with audiences worldwide and set new benchmarks for digital entertainment.”

• This is the third reservoir restored in the region through the company’s support

• The three reservoirs supply water to over 500 families in Nubra Valley for irrigation

Bisleri International, India’s leading packaged drinking water company, inaugurated the third reservoir, restored in Nubra Valley, Ladakh, under its flagship initiative, Project Nayi Umeed. The reservoir, with a capacity to hold nearly 12 lakh (or 1.2 million) litres of water, has been repaired and restored to ensure a reliable irrigation supply for farming communities in the region.

Bisleri Greener Promise – The Reservoir of Hope 2025

The initiative was launched in collaboration with the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC), Leh, with the Ladakh Marathon acting as the implementing agency. The inauguration ceremony was graced by Shri Rigzen Lundup, Councillor – Tegar Constituency.

The restored reservoir is connected to the Lakjung Irrigation Canal, which originates from the Shyok River and runs for approximately 14 kilometers. The canal provides critical irrigation to three major villages, stretching from Lakjung Trith up to Sumoor Village, and supports around 7,000 kanals (875 acres) of farmland. By ensuring a steady water supply, this project is expected to benefit 300 hundred farming families and strengthen the agricultural production in the Nubra Valley.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. K. Ganesh, Director – Sustainability & Corporate Affairs, Bisleri International, said, “Ensuring water security is critical for communities that are most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The restoration of the third reservoir in Nubra Valley represents another step forward in strengthening agricultural resilience and empowering farming families in Ladakh. With every project under Nayi Umeed, we aim to provide long-term sustainable solutions that help secure livelihoods, support food security, and bring enduring prosperity to the region.”

Bisleri International Inaugurates Third Reservoir in Nubra Valley

Adding his perspective, Shri Rigzen Lundup, Councillor – Tegar Constituency, said, “Communities in Ladakh face increasing challenges due to rising temperatures and fluctuating snowfall, which reduce the availability of water for irrigation. In this context, restoration of the reservoir is a significant achievement that directly addresses our water needs. We are grateful for Bisleri’s continued commitment to Nubra Valley, and this project will enhance agricultural productivity and improve the lives of our farming families.”

Further, Shri Chewang Motup, Founder & CEO, Ladakh Marathon mentioned, “As an implementing agency, we are proud to collaborate with Bisleri and LAHDC, Leh, in bringing this project to life. The restored reservoir not only ensures water availability but also showcases the power of partnerships in building climate-resilient communities in Ladakh.”

This marks the third successful reservoir restoration project by Bisleri in Nubra Valley. Previously, in 2023 & 2024, the company restored reservoirs in Sumoor Village, benefitting over 200 households and ensuring irrigation for vast agricultural lands.

These initiatives carried out under Project Nayi Umeed, a part of the Bisleri Greener Promise philosophy, which underscores the company’s dedication to combating climate change, ensuring access to safe and healthy water, and creating a robust circular economy. To date, Project Nayi Umeed has built or restored 336 check dams, harvesting nearly 28 billion litres of water, benefiting over 64,362 farmers family members across India, and irrigated more than 20,878 acres of land.

Yenepoya Specialty Hospital has become the first medical institution in South Asia to introduce the SkyWalker™ Orthopedic Robotic System for knee replacement surgery, in collaboration with the U.S. headquartered MicroPort Orthopedics Inc. The landmark launch reinforces Yenepoya’s leadership in adopting advanced technologies to enhance patient care.

Medical Leaders with SkyWalker Robotic System

The SkyWalker™ Orthopedic Robotic System is the only robotic platform worldwide designed specifically to work with the Evolution Medial-Pivot Knee System. Together, they enable unparalleled accuracy and sub-millimetre precision in knee joint alignment as per the specific anatomy and functional needs of the patient, providing personalised outcomes and remarkable improvement in stability and function, leading to faster recovery, long-term durability and a natural feeling knee during daily chores and activities, including long walks that do not strain the quadriceps as much and climbing stairs and deep flexion that feel stable.

(From Right) Dr Muhammad Thahir, Dr Deepak Rai, Dr Mukesh Parmar

“Yenepoya has always been committed to integrating innovations that make a real difference for our patients,” said Dr. Muhammad Thahir, Medical Director, Yenepoya Specialty Hospital. “The launch of SkyWalker™ is another milestone in our pursuit of clinical excellence, and we are proud to be the first to bring this technology to India and South Asia.”

Dr. Deepak Rai, Chief Orthopaedic and Joint Replacement Surgeon at Yenepoya, performed India’s first SkyWalker™ procedures. He noted, “The SkyWalker™ robotic system gives us real-time data for joint line reconstruction and ligament balancing, while the patented medial-pivot design of Evolution mimics the knee’s natural motion. In our initial cases, we are already seeing smoother recoveries, better range of motion and excellent functional outcomes.”

Globally, the adoption of robotic systems in orthopedics has surged. In the United States, more than 40% of knee replacement surgeries are now performed robotically, a number projected to rise steadily. Robotics offer higher accuracy, lower revision rates, and faster rehabilitation – benefits that patients in India will now experience first-hand at Yenepoya.

Dr. Mukesh Parmar, Senior Director and General Manager, South Asia, MicroPort Orthopedics, said, “The choice of implant is as critical as the robotic platform itself, because it stays with the patient for life. The Evolution Medial-Pivot Knee has shown 95% patient satisfaction, 98.8% survivorship at 17 years, and nearly 80% Forgotten Joint Scores worldwide. When paired with SkyWalker™, it creates a powerful combination that empowers surgeons and delivers customised and consistently favourable patient outcomes. We are excited to launch this system at an esteemed centre like Yenepoya and together setting a new benchmark in line with global standards for orthopedic care in the region.”

• The D2C landscape for Fashion remains a key growth opportunity especially for those coming from T2+ regions

• The launch phase of ‘Spotlight’ will begin with a select cohort of 50 fashion brands, that will be onboarded ahead of the 2025 festive season

• Flipkart’s Fashion category attracts over 150 million monthly visits today, reflecting growing demand across consumer segments

Ahead of the 2025 festive season, Flipkart, India’s homegrown e-commerce marketplace, announced the launch of ‘Fashion Spotlight’, its flagship program to accelerate the growth of digital-first fashion brands, especially from T2+ regions. The D2C landscape for Fashion remains a key growth opportunity especially for those from T2+ regions, who may not have access to the right tools that can enable them to exponentially scale their business. Flipkart plans to scale the program 10X by year-end, reaching around 500 brands, and eventually expanding its reach to several more; turning Fashion Spotlight into a truly democratized launchpad for D2C fashion talent.

Flipkart Launches Fashion Spotlight to Power Indias Emerging D2C Fashion Ecosystem

This strategic rollout comes just in time for the festive season, traditionally the zenith of fashion demand. With 100+ D2C fashion brands already live on Flipkart Fashion today, the organisation is scaling its efforts to bring curated, trend-led selection to millions of shoppers across the country. Several D2C Fashion brands have already witnessed tremendous growth on Flipkart’s marketplace such as Rare Rabbit growing over 500% YoY, Miraggio at over 2300%, and Zouk recording over 200% growth in the past year.

With 1 in 3 customers on Flipkart making their first-ever purchase in Fashion, and purchase intent on the app growing 3X in the past year when compared to social media platforms, the Spotlight programme becomes a high-conversion environment for digital-first brands. Going beyond traditional accelerator models, the program integrates Flipkart’s full-stack capabilities, including video cataloguing, image search, Live Commerce, and virtual try-ons, to create a tech-powered, trust-led ecosystem where fashion entrepreneurs can scale with speed and confidence.

As part of this launch phase, 50 high-potential brands will be onboarded with a focus on those solving for specific customer needs including unique style, value, and regional relevance. Fashion Spotlight is focused on enabling early-stage fashion entrepreneurs who may have found initial traction among their immediate networks but are now seeking to scale and become brands in their own right.

Flipkart has observed that while product innovation is thriving across India’s fashion landscape from climate-conscious fabrics to regional design revival, the biggest bottleneck for many fashion entrepreneurs and D2C brands remains discovery and distribution. Spotlight aims to bridge that gap with Flipkart’s strengths in consumer data, merchandising expertise, and platform reach. The programme is structured around three key pillars:identifying real consumer need gaps, crafting differentiated product experiences, and delivering iterative feedback to improve assortment, visibility, and conversions. Spotlight offers a managed service layer, where Flipkart works closely with entrepreneurs to test product-market fit, iterate on catalogues using cohort feedback, and provide guaranteed visibility much like a VC would invest in early-stage innovation.

A Platform Built Around Brand Growth, Not Gatekeeping

• The initiative empowers early‒stage fashion entrepreneurs with three key pillars:

• Curated Discovery: Elevating standout products to a wide audience

• Iterative Product Feedback: Fostering product-market fit through structured learnings

• Guaranteed Visibility: Amplified exposure without commission or exclusivity constraints

Tapping Festive and Bharat Tailwinds

• Flipkart’s move aligns with wider shifts in India’s fashion market:

• Consumers are increasingly buying based on trend, identity, and comfort-not just deals.

• Fashion is now a key growth driver: one in three new Flipkart users discovers the platform through fashion.

For more information, visit seller.flipkart.com/seller-blog/fashionSpotlight.

Speaking about the launch, Kunal Gupta, Vice President, Flipkart Fashion, said, “The D2C revolution in fashion is being driven by a new wave of entrepreneurs across India who are deeply rooted in regional cultures and consumer needs. Spotlight is built for them – for the brands building for hot climates, local use cases, and fabric innovations that deliver the right fashion to the people of Bharat. Our goal is to enable them in their zero-to-one journey, by supporting them till they achieve scale and product-market validation. This is not just about distribution, it is about building a generation of brands that are born digital, are local-first, and ready to serve the next 200 million fashion consumers.”

Fashion trends observed on Flipkart today:

• Sarees are making a comeback with handloom, regional weaves becoming popular – 30X increase YoY in searches for “Latest Saree Designs”

• 5X increase YoY in demand for Fusion Jewellery

• Ready to Wear Sarees searches have seen a 10x jump in the last 18 months

As fashion consumption continues to evolve in India, Flipkart Fashion’s Spotlight programme marks a decisive step in Flipkart’s efforts to unlock new growth levers for both consumers and young fashion brands. By tapping into rising entrepreneurial energy across small towns and layering it with Flipkart’s platform strengths, Spotlight aims to become the springboard for India’s next big fashion brands.

Whatfix, the global leader in digital adoption platforms (DAP), today announced the launch of Whatfix AI Agents embedded across its product suite to accelerate user productivity and drive business performance outcomes.

(L-R) Vara Kumar Namburu, Co-founder & Head of R&D and Solutions, Whatfix, and Khadim Batti, Co-founder & CEO, Whatfix

At the heart of these agents is ScreenSense, Whatfix’s proprietary AI technology that continuously interprets both the users’ context within an application and the user’s real-time intent. This understanding powers timely, relevant actions, whether it’s triggering an in-app guide, surfacing enterprise search results, displaying a DAP nudge, or invoking a third-party AI tool. By combining this contextual intelligence with the capabilities of Whatfix AI Agents, users can complete critical tasks faster and more accurately, staying focused on outcomes rather than navigating constant change across the enterprise software stack.

“Gartner projects that software spending will grow at double-digit rates this year, driven by generative AI, yet most enterprises are still struggling to turn these investments into outcomes,” said Khadim Batti, CEO and Co-Founder of Whatfix. “As AI investments increase across the enterprise software stack, many organizations face a growing gap between software’s potential and real user impact. The layer of AI is adding to this rapid change, risking paralyzing users with too much change and too little guidance. Whatfix AI Agents flip that equation. They userize technology to adapt to the users context. This is not just about improving adoption. It is about enabling every user to succeed in an environment where systems are changing faster than people can keep up.“

Whatfix AI Agents-Powered by ScreenSense:
The first three Whatfix AI Agents-Authoring, Insights, and Guidance-are now available across the Whatfix product suite, transforming how enterprises create, analyze, and guide in-app experiences. Powered by ScreenSense, they interpret application context and user intent in real time to deliver precise, high-value actions that accelerate work.

Authoring Agent: This agent removes friction from the content creation process by generating fully configured in-app experiences using simple natural language prompts, including pop-ups, walkthroughs, and advanced visibility rules. It enables anyone responsible for creating guidance content – such as training teams, and application or product owners – to publish at scale without needing any technical expertise.

Example: Make a tip appear when users land on a new dashboard. Just add a prompt in natural language and the Authoring Agent will generate the content, apply targeting logic, and style it automatically.

Insights Agent: This agent is a conversational interface that transforms how users interact with their product analytics data. It helps stakeholders across functions ask questions in natural language to uncover user behavior and drop-off patterns. These insights enable product owners to identify product features that need enhancements or better adoption.

Example: Ask a question like, “How is the new workflow performing” The Insights Agent returns a clear visual summary, highlights friction points, and recommends the next best step – all in seconds.

Guidance Agent: This agent delivers precise, AI-generated answers in the flow of work, distilling complex or lengthy knowledge into short, contextual summaries. It transforms how users access information, reducing time-to-answer and supporting dependency. It is designed to support enterprise users who need clarity fast, without switching tabs, reading long documents, or escalating to support.

Example: When a user searches for “return policy exceptions” while working in an order management system, the Guidance Agent instantly surfaces a concise summary from internal documentation, right within the application, with no context switch required.

Deeply embedded across Digital Adoption, Product Analytics, and Mirror, these agents form an intelligent layer that personalizes every user interaction-bridging the gap between enterprise systems and user success at scale.

Laurentiu BOGDAN, Operational Excellence Director at Servier, said, “With Whatfix AI, we’re heading towards a world where digital solutions will self-correct, self-improve, and personalize in real time, based on user intent. It’s not just about automation; it’s about making complexity disappear.”

What’s Next for Whatfix AI
Building on its leadership in Digital Adoption, Whatfix is expanding into AI-first products designed to deliver measurable business impact. The company will continue to advance its Userization philosophy-putting technology in service of the user-by integrating intelligent automation, real-time discovery, and adaptive training into its product suite. These innovations aim to create a unified, AI-powered experience where every user can succeed, no matter how fast enterprise systems evolve. This trajectory is reflected in industry recognition: Whatfix won the 2025 AI Breakthrough Award as “Overall AI-based Analytics Solution of the Year” and has been shortlisted for the AI Awards for “Best Use of AI for Learning,” with winners to be announced in September.

India has always turned to Ayurveda for radiant, healthy skin – saffron for glow, kumkumadi oil for balance, and ghee for nourishment. But modern Indian families face new challenges: relentless sun, pollution, and urban stress. House of Soundarya was born to bridge these worlds, creating skincare that unites the wisdom of Ayurveda with the precision of modern K-beauty science, tailored especially for Indian skin.

Monisha gururani, Founder of House of Soundarya

The journey began with founder Monisha Gururani, a mother searching for safe skincare for her young son, a professional golfer exposed to hours of sun. Troubled by the lack of gentle, toxin-free options, Monisha set out to craft her own – blends that would be pure, effective, and free from synthetic fragrance. What started as a mother’s resolve has grown into a brand now embraced nationwide.

Each formulation begins with Ayurvedic botanicals like saffron, aloe vera, licorice, and 100x washed A2 ghee – known for their calming and restorative powers. These are elevated with plant-based actives such as niacinamide, ceramides, and Vitamin C (SAP), widely proven in K-beauty to brighten, protect, and refine skin. The result is a hybrid system of care – gentle enough for teens, effective enough for adults, and especially suited for Indian skin that demands both repair and resilience.

Pushp ahaan is adopted a school in haldwani to give quality education to young and deserving kids

But Monisha’s vision extends beyond beauty. Through the Pushp Ahaan Foundation, House of Soundarya has adopted a school in Uttarakhand, providing children with sports gear, shoes, library books, and uniforms, while also supporting families displaced by floods and natural disasters.

On Amazon India, the brand continues to receive glowing feedback. Customers call the 24K Gold Luxe Glow Kumkumadi Serum “liquid gold for the skin,” praising how its saffron-rich blend reduces dullness, softens fine lines, and delivers a natural glow without heaviness. Many reviews highlight that it feels indulgent yet safe, making it a product families keep returning to.

For Monisha, every jar and bottle is more than skincare. It’s a promise – of purity, of science backed by tradition, and of a brand that gives back.

House of Soundarya is available nationwide on Amazon India and at www.HouseofSoundarya.com.
