In just days since the appeal began on India’s leading crowdfunding platform, Impact Guru, more than Rs. 2.3 crore has already been raised to support families devastated by the floods in Punjab.

Flood-stricken village in Punjab

Entire villages have been submerged, homes destroyed, fields drowned, and livelihoods lost. Families who once lived with dignity are now struggling without food, clothing, or shelter.

Amid this crisis, volunteers from various charities are on the ground, working tirelessly to provide relief. Their efforts include rescuing stranded families from submerged villages, delivering dry groceries, clean drinking water, and essential medical aid and preparing for the next phase – temporary shelters and long-term rehabilitation. These initiatives supplement the critical relief measures already being undertaken by both the Central and State Governments.

While the initial response has been heartening, the need remains overwhelming. Each day, more families reach out in desperation. Without immediate support, many will continue to go hungry, cold, and hopeless.

“Punjab’s floods have left families fighting not just nature’s fury, but the struggle to survive each day. The fact that more than Rs. 2.3 crore has already been raised shows the power of collective compassion. But this is just the beginning. At Impact Guru, we are committed to empowering charitable organizations to maximize their fundraising and ensure no family is left behind. Together, we can turn despair into dignity and rebuild lives with hope,” said Piyush Jain, Co-Founder & CEO, Impact Guru.

Donors can extend their support either by donating directly to charity partners or by contributing funds that will be used to procure medical kits, grocery kits, and survival tents, which will then be distributed to affected families through charity partners on the ground.

Together, we can turn despair into hope, hunger into nourishment, and destruction into rebuilding.

Sri Ramakrishna Hospital’s pediatric cardiac team successfully treated a 15-day-old newborn with critical aortic stenosis through an emergency balloon aortic valvotomy, showcasing advanced expertise in high-risk neonatal cardiac care.

Best Pediatric Cardiology Hospital In Coimbatore

At Sri Ramakrishna Hospital, a tiny 15-day-old baby born to a migrant worker family from Aurangabad, living in Erode, was fighting for life. Rushed in critical condition, the newborn was given a second chance at life through the hospital’s advanced pediatric cardiac care. After thorough evaluation, the medical team diagnosed the child with critical aortic stenosis with severe left ventricular dysfunction-a condition that, without immediate intervention, could have been fatal.

With no time to lose, the hospital’s cardiac team performed an emergency balloon aortic valvotomy. The procedure was carried out successfully, restoring the baby’s heart function and offering a chance at a healthy future. This achievement stands as a shining example of teamwork, timely intervention, and compassionate care.

The coordinated efforts of multiple specialists made this success possible. Neonatologists Dr. Siddhartha and Dr. Suja played a vital role in stabilizing the fragile newborn before the procedure, while Pediatric Cardiologist Dr. Devaprasath. S led the diagnosis and performed the life-saving intervention. Cardiac Anesthetists Dr. Manikandan and Dr. Menon ensured safe anesthesia in this high-risk case, supported by Cardiac Surgeon Dr. Vijay Sadasivam, who provided crucial surgical backup. Adding to this, the dedicated NICU and Cath Lab Nursing Staff served as the backbone of care, offering precision and compassion throughout the critical procedure.

The successful outcome was further supported by the guidance of Medical Director Dr. Rajagopal and MS Dr. Alagappan, who continue to inspire the hospital’s commitment to excellence.

A special note of gratitude goes to Dr. Saranya and the SK Foundation, whose sponsorship made this life-saving procedure possible for the underprivileged family. Their support highlights the power of humanitarian efforts in transforming lives.

This case is a perfect example of how timely action, advanced medical expertise, and humanitarian support can come together to achieve miracles.

Sri Ramakrishna Hospital takes pride in being at the forefront of pediatric cardiac care in Coimbatore, offering world-class treatments that bring hope to families across the region. This remarkable success story reaffirms the hospital’s mission of delivering not only cutting-edge healthcare but also compassionate support for every patient-no matter how tiny the heart or how big the battle.

To commemorate International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer, Tiger Analytics, in partnership with Ruva Foundation, has launched a large-scale afforestation initiative across Chennai and Bengaluru. A total of 6,000 native saplings, 3,000 in each city, have been planted, reinforcing the organization’s shared vision for sustainable urban ecosystems.

Tiger Analytics & Ruva Foundation Plant 6,000 Saplings in Chennai and Bengaluru to Mark International Ozone Day

This initiative builds on the successful creation of the Palavakkam Urban Eco Forest in Chennai at Doctor AL Mudaliar Matriculation School, where plantations have been carried out for three consecutive years. The project not only restores green cover but also represents a powerful example of reforestation in urban settings. Extending this legacy to Bengaluru, the initiative strengthens city resilience while engaging employees, volunteers, and communities in meaningful climate action.

Aligned with the theme of Ozone Day 2025, “Reviving Nature, Protecting Our Sky”, the plantation drive addresses two urgent urban challenges: air pollution and climate change. Together, the forests are projected to sequester over 1,000 tons of CO₂ in the coming decade while acting as green lungs for the cities.

Speaking on the occasion, Nitin Kataria, Tiger Analytics, said, “On Ozone Day, were not just celebrating, were acting. Were offsetting the energy costs of our AI innovations by planting forests and embracing sustainable practices, proving that environmental responsibility goes hand-in-hand with cutting-edge technology.”

Johnny Silva, Ruva Foundation, added, “Forests are natural guardians of our environment. This initiative restores green cover and becomes a living classroom where children, volunteers, and citizens learn the importance of protecting ecosystems and our ozone layer.”

The plantation drive brought together Tiger employees, their families, volunteers, students, and community members, who collectively contributed their time and energy to nurture the saplings. Beyond immediate environmental benefits, these forests will become spaces of education, biodiversity conservation, and community ownership.

As the world observes International Ozone Day, Tiger Analytics and Ruva Foundation reaffirm their belief that local action can have a global impact, from cooling our cities to safeguarding the fragile shield that protects life on Earth.

The Dubai Opportunity, Dubai is not only a thriving e-commerce ecosystem but also a magnet for brands from around the world, thanks to its tech-savvy consumers, strong spending power, and growing digital marketplaces. For Indian entrepreneurs, the city represents ground zero for achieving regional recognition, especially in categories such as snacks, fashion, home dcor, and wellness. Yet, many found that if the market is approached through ‘drop-shipping’ mechanism, the customs regulations, non-clarity on local laws, and unreliable last-mile delivery resulted in poor customer experiences and damaged reputations, not to mention, making the returns for a customer almost impossible.

Mr. Ankit Agarwal Founder & CEO

The UAE’s expat-majority population-80% made up of non-nationals-creates unique demand for Indian products, however attempts at direct market entry can be expensive and logistically complex. Even a basic level operations which would include establishing a proper company, following all the regulations, manpower visa, hiring & salary costs, warehouse setup & logistics etc. can require an investment in excess of 250,000 AED. This investment might turn out to be a steep amount for many emerging D2C brands, thus becoming a barrier towards their entry to the UAE and broader gulf market.

EcomBridge’s Game-Changing Approach
EcomBridge negates these friction points by providing local warehousing, managing legal compliance, VAT registration, customs clearance, and listing optimization on top marketplaces such as Amazon, Noon, Namshi etc. Brands work with dedicated category managers who handle sales operations, creative optimization, and logistics-eliminating the need for sellers to form a local entity or invest in leased storage and on-ground staff.

The end result: Indian brands launch and start selling within weeks, not months, operating seamlessly as local UAE businesses. The company equips sellers with regional market insights, ensuring their product listings are tuned for local search behaviours and translated to Arabic where needed, maximizing visibility and cultural resonance.

What the Experts Say
EcomBridge Founder and CEO, Mr. Ankit Agarwal, summarized the vision in a recent interview, “Our goal is to empower Global brands with world-class market access, while making expansion low-risk and almost instantaneous. By blending operations with strategy, and leveraging tech and smart execution, we ensure brands can scale globally without losing their local identity. EcomBridge’s ‘growth blueprint’ eliminates the usual pain points, allowing entrepreneurs to focus on what they do best-innovate and serve customers-while we handle the complexities of international trade.”

Agarwal further highlights that the EcomBridge revenue-share partnership model aligns incentives, making both parties equally invested in sustained growth and customer success-turning international expansion from a financial risk into a strategic advantage.

Advantages for Brands

• Zero Setup Cost: Businesses skip Dubai licensing and company formation, drastically cutting overhead.

• Rapid Launch: Inventory is sourced and online within weeks, allowing for fast expansion and ROI.

• Full Compliance: EcomBridge handles all regulatory, VAT, and customs processes, preventing delays and costly penalties.

• Scalability: The platform flexibly caters to both small startups and regional players, letting them scale their presence as demand grows.

The UAE e-commerce sector, expected to cross $17 billion in 2025, offers a vibrant market with premium pricing and high online order values-often exceeding AED 150. EcomBridge’s integrated support maximizes brand reach, customer trust, and repeat business, making it the local accelerator and safety net for bold Indian expansion.

Indian brands in snacks, fashion, home dcor, and wellness can now explore effortless regional growth. Interested businesses can connect with EcomBridge at www.EcomBridge.ai for onboarding and a strategic, risk-free journey beyond borders.

At CS Academy, learning is brought to life through experiences that spark imagination and prepare students for the future. Earlier this month, the school hosted two landmark events that reflected its vision of holistic education. The ISP Future Pathways Festival 2025 was held at the Kovaipudur campus on September 3, while the Literary Fest followed at the Trichy Road campus on September 4. One event opened doors to global higher education, while the other immersed students in the joy of language and creativity. Together, they created a seamless journey from aspiration to imagination.

CS Academy hosted the ISP Future Pathways Festival and Literary Fest, inspiring students with global opportunities, creativity, and joyful learning

The Future Pathways Festival welcomed more than 110 international universities with representation from prestigious universities such as UCLA, Imperial College London, Bocconi University, and The University of Sydney. Students had the rare chance to meet the admissions representatives face-to-fae. They explored academic programmes, learned about scholarships, and gained insights into career pathways. Breakout sessions highlighted global trends and specialised fields of study. One-to-one conversations offered clarity and confidence as students prepared to chart their next steps. The event was more than just a fair; it was a bridge between school and the world, giving learners the tools and exposure needed to pursue their goals with purpose. Speaking about the impact of the festival, Ms. Vinitha V, Career Counselor at CS Academy, shared, “We see the Future Pathways Festival as an opportunity for our students to meet university representatives, engage in meaningful conversations, ask questions, and explore their options from the comfort of their own campus. Each year, our students leave with greater awareness of their choices and a clearer understanding of admission requirements, which has strengthened our application outcomes. Just as importantly, the festival gives them the confidence to interact with new people and begin building their own networks – which is always my favorite part of the fair.”

A day later, the spotlight shifted to imagination as the Trichy Road campus came alive with the Literary Fest, celebrated as a special “No Book Day“. Children set aside routine lessons and immersed themselves in creativity and collaboration. They designed colourful book covers, took part in expressive read-alouds, and joined a vibrant character parade. The much-loved Spell Quest was the highlight, with students racing through rounds on idioms, dictionary hunts, and root words that tested their quick thinking and teamwork. Teachers described the event as heartwarming, noting how children displayed creativity, storytelling, and confidence that went beyond the classroom. One teacher reflected, “Every child became an author, an actor, or a wordsmith, proving that literature lives within us all. It’s a powerful reminder that literature is not just studied, it is lived and celebrated.”

Together, the two events underscored CS Academy’s holistic approach. The Future Pathways Festival exposed older students to global opportunities, while the Literary Fest inspired younger learners to explore imagination and communication. Both shared a common goal: preparing students for life.

As a senior academic leader noted, “By nurturing imagination in our younger students and opening pathways to international universities for older learners, we are preparing them for a future without boundaries.”

Sahajanand Medical Technologies (SMT), a medical devices company with a portfolio of technologically advanced medical devices across vascular and structural heart intervention, announced positive 3-year results from the FIRE Trial, presented at ESC 2025, reaffirming the safety and efficacy of its Supraflex Cruz drug-eluting stent in patients aged 75 years and older with myocardial infarction (MI) and multivessel disease.

Supraflex Cruz Stent

The FIRE Trial is a study evaluating revascularization strategies in elderly MI patients with multivessel disease. 1,445 patients across 34 centres in Italy, Spain, and Poland were randomized to functionally guided complete revascularization or culprit-only treatment, with Supraflex Cruz as the stent of choice. The primary endpoint was the patient-oriented composite of all-cause death, MI, stroke, and revascularization, assessed over three years.

At a 3-year follow-up, among older patients with MI and multivessel disease, physiology-guided complete revascularization, as compared to a culprit-only revascularization strategy, reduced risk of primary and key secondary endpoints. As per the data presented at ESC Congress, results also showed consistently low stent thrombosis rates (1.03% at 1 year; 1.17% at 3 years) and a lowered risk of adverse cardiovascular events, reinforcing the benefits of physiology-guided complete revascularization in high-risk patients.

Prof. Gianluca Campo, Study Chair, stated, “The FIRE trial demonstrates that physiology-guided complete revascularization using Supraflex Cruz lowered the risk of a composite endpoint of death, MI, stroke, or ischemia-driven revascularization compared to a culprit-only approach. Importantly, these benefits were sustained over 3 years, with a very low rate of stent thrombosis at both 1 and 3 years, highlighting the safety and reliability of Supraflex Cruz in elderly patients with multivessel disease.”

Dr. Simone Biscaglia, Principal Investigator, added,“The FIRE trial shows that physiology-guided complete revascularization with Supraflex Cruz offers benefits in elderly MI patients with multivessel disease. It reduced primary endpoints versus a culprit-only approach, with sustained benefits over three years and very low stent thrombosis rates, confirming the safety and efficacy of Supraflex Cruz.”

Dr. Krishna Sudhir, Chief Medical Officer, SMT, commented, “The FIRE Trial reinforces evidence from TALENT, COMPARE 60/80, and other studies showing Supraflex Cruz consistently delivers positive outcomes in high-risk patients. With safety and enhanced deliverability, Supraflex Cruz continues to set benchmarks in coronary care globally.”
