The award, instituted by the Asian Productivity Organization (APO) and administered in India by the National Productivity Council (NPC) under the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Government of India, is regarded as one of the highest recognitions for advancing productivity and competitiveness across sectors.

Mr. Bakul Limbasiya, Founder of Bhathwari Technologies

This recognition is especially significant as it not only celebrates Limbasiya’s personal achievements but also marks an important milestone for the lab-grown diamond industry in India. Historically, the APO National Award has been presented to distinguished leaders such as Mr. Anil Naik of Larsen & Turbo and Dr. Verghese Kurien, underscoring its stature and legacy in honouring visionaries who have made transformative contributions to India’s industrial landscape. The inclusion of the lab-grown diamond sector among its awardees signals a strong acknowledgment of the industry’s growing strategic and economic relevance.

Kauvery Hospital Alwarpet has successfully performed a rare and technically complex neurovascular procedure to prevent a potentially devastating stroke in a patient with rapidly progressive vertebral artery stenosis, a condition that is distinct from routine stroke interventions and far less commonly encountered.
 

Kauvery Hospital Alwarpet Performs Rare, High-Risk Vertebral Artery Stenting to Prevent Major Stroke

The patient,a 42 year old gentleman with a history of diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol, had been asymptomatic until six months ago. While driving from Bengaluru to Chennai, he suddenly experienced difficulty controlling his car steering, noticing that the vehicle was drifting to one side. Recognising the seriousness of the episode, he immediately sought neurological consultation.

A CT angiogram revealed moderate (approximately 60%) narrowing of the left vertebral artery, one of the major arteries supplying blood to the brainstem and posterior parts of the brain. The right vertebral artery was normal. As this was his first episode, he was treated with optimal medical therapy, including dual antiplatelet agents, statins, and strict metabolic control, and was discharged with close follow-up.

However, a few months later, despite strict compliance with medication, the patient experienced a recurrence of symptoms while driving. A repeat CT angiogram showed rapid progression of the narrowing to nearly 95%, placing him at very high risk of a posterior circulation stroke, which can be life-threatening and often disabling. “Although the patient was young and initially stable on medication, the sudden progression of the blockage made intervention essential. Treating it in time ensured complete recovery without neurological damage,”, said Dr Venkatraman Karthikaeyan, Senior Consultant Neurologist, Kauvery Hospital Alwarpet. 

Given the recurrence of symptoms and the unusually rapid progression despite optimal medical therapy, the multidisciplinary team recommended endovascular vertebral artery angioplasty and stenting. Unlike routine stroke procedures, which commonly involve the carotid or intracranial arteries, vertebral artery interventions are infrequently performed and are technically demanding, as the artery supplies critical areas such as the brainstem and cerebellum.

The minimally invasive procedure was successfully performed by the Interventional Radiologist of Kauvery Hospital Alwarpet. Through a tiny puncture in the groin or wrist, a catheter was navigated to the severely narrowed vertebral artery. Balloon angioplasty followed by stent placement was used to completely reopen the artery, restoring normal blood flow to the posterior circulation of the brain.

The patient was monitored in the ICU for 24 hours and shifted to the ward the next day. He was discharged on the third postoperative day. On follow-up, he remained asymptomatic and has returned to normal daily activities without any neurological deficit.

Speaking about the case, Dr. Sathya Narayanan R, Senior Consultant – Interventional Radiology, said, “This was not a routine stroke procedure. Vertebral artery stenosis progressing so rapidly despite optimal medical therapy is uncommon and potentially dangerous. Intervention in this artery requires high technical expertise, as it supplies vital structures of the brain. Endovascular angioplasty and stenting allowed us to restore blood flow safely without open surgery or prolonged hospitalisation.”

Commenting on the hospital’s advanced capabilities, Dr. Aravindan Selvaraj, Co-Founder and Executive Director, Kauvery Group of Hospitals, said,“This case reflects our focus on handling complex, high-risk conditions that go beyond standard stroke care. By combining experienced specialists with advanced minimally invasive technology, we were able to prevent a major posterior circulation stroke and ensure an excellent recovery for the patient.”

Vertebral artery angioplasty and stenting is a specialised neurovascular procedure, performed through a tiny puncture without any surgical incision. The successful outcome in this case highlights how rare, high-risk stroke conditions can be treated effectively with minimal pain, no visible scars, and faster recovery.

Kauvery Hospital Alwarpet continues to be a regional referral centre for complex neurovascular and interventional radiology procedures, offering comprehensive stroke prevention and advanced endovascular care under one roof.

Moglix has announced the launch of Cognilix, an AI-led Operating System for B2B procurement designed to bring coherence and intelligence to how enterprises buy, manage inventory, collaborate with suppliers, and sell. Alongside the launch, the company announced a planned investment of $5 million to advance AI research and build vertical-specific enterprise products under the Cognilix platform. 

Over the last few years, AI has moved from experimentation to expectation. What is changing now is its role, from supporting individual decisions to shaping how work runs, day after day. Having built and scaled complex B2B and supply chain operations, Moglix has seen that lasting impact does not come from intelligence in isolation, but from systems that understand context, constraints, and consequences across the enterprise. 

Cognilix emerges from this operating reality. Built on Moglix’s real-world scale of over $40Bn+ in transactions, 45K+ suppliers, 1.2Mn+ SKUs, operations across 80+ countries, and a network of 58+ warehouses, the platform reflects years of working in environments where decisions ripple across procurement, inventory, suppliers, and revenue, and where accuracy and accountability are essential. Cognilix brings these functions together into a single decision layer, connecting data and workflows across procurement, supply chain, and B2B commerce, while working alongside existing ERP systems.

The platform enables enterprises to automate and streamline buying through AI-led procurement workflows covering digital catalogues, RFQ comparison, supplier onboarding, compliance, competitive e-auctions, and inventory forecasting informed by historical usage and lead times. It also enables structured B2B selling through digital storefronts and marketplaces with integrated order management, payments, logistics, and real-time inventory visibility. A unified data layer standardizes material master data and delivers clearer insight into spend, supplier performance, and operational opportunities. 

Rahul Garg, Founder and CEO, Moglix

“Globally, AI is moving from insight to infrastructure. The real question for enterprises is no longer whether to use AI, but how deeply it can be embedded into the way work runs,” said Rahul Garg, Founder and CEO, Moglix. “From an Indian perspective, this shift matters even more. As manufacturing and supply chains scale in complexity, we need systems that are context-aware, accountable, and resilient. Cognilix reflects what we have learned by operating at scale; that intelligence creates value only when it understands real-world constraints and consequences. Our focus is to build enterprise-grade AI from India that stands up to global demands.” 

Enterprises using Cognilix are seeing early outcomes such as reductions in procurement cycle times, improved inventory accuracy, higher levels of data standardization, and clearer, real-time visibility across suppliers and orders. 

The $5 million investment will be directed toward deepening domain-led AI models, expanding industry-specific capabilities, and strengthening enterprise-grade governance and collaboration across the Cognilix platform, reinforcing Moglix’s long-term commitment to building practical, scalable AI for global enterprise use. 

About Cognilix and Moglix

Cognilix is an AI-led operating system for B2B commerce, built on Moglix’s real operating data at scale. The platform draws intelligence from over $40Bn in transactions across 45,000+ suppliers, 1.2 million+ SKUs, and a global footprint spanning 80+ countries and 58+ warehouses database of Moglix, enabling an autonomous, insight-driven enterprise system for procurement and supply chains.

Duville Estates Private Limited, a distinguished real estate brand and the name behind the landmark 31-acre Riverdale micro-township in Kharadi, Pune, has been recognised with three prestigious honours at The Economic Times Business Awards. The recognition highlights the company’s sustained focus on future-ready planning, disciplined execution, and design-led development across residential and commercial segments.

Mr. Tushad B. Dubash, Director, Duville Estates

Duville Estates was honoured in the categories of Visionary Real Estate Development in Micro-Township, Excellence in Quality Processes & Delivery (Residential & Commercial), and Excellence in Design-Thinking Application (Residential & Commercial). Together, these accolades reflect the company’s integrated approach to building large-scale urban environments that balance long-term planning, operational rigour, and thoughtful design.

The recognition for visionary development acknowledges the foresight with which Duville Estates and the Dubash family identified a rare 31-acre riverfront land parcel in Kharadi when this micro market was yet a green field. Conceived as a comprehensive micro-township, the 31-acre development was master planned to cater to the demands of differently sized homes that would straddle wide range of income and value. The hallmark of the master planning at Riverdale are the expansive riverfront and open city views available in the increasing dense urban corridor. Designed to function as a self-sustained ecosystem while remaining closely connected to Kharadi’s business district, the development has steadily evolved into one of East Pune’s most desirable riverfront addresses.

This vision is reinforced through robust quality processes embedded across every stage of development. From the engagement of experienced structural consultants and the deployment of specialised in-house construction and quality supervision teams to stringent material evaluations, safety systems, and sustainability practices, Duville Engineering has institutionalised a disciplined approach to execution. Underpinning this is the company’s belief that design thinking shapes every decision guiding master planning, building orientation, elevation, circulation, spatial efficiency, and community movement. This philosophy is reflected in east–west aligned towers planned along the sun path, efficient zero-wastage layouts, all-corner residences, enhanced ventilation, and carefully planned balconies and shared spaces, resulting in developments that are efficient, sustainable, and designed for long-term liveability.

Commenting on the achievement, Mr. Tushad B. Dubash, Director, Duville Estates, said, “Our approach goes beyond constructing buildings; it is about shaping environments that function seamlessly for the people who inhabit them. These recognitions reinforce our commitment to responsible planning, strong processes, and design-led development that stand the test of times. As we continue to evolve, our focus remains on building with purpose, consistency, and a long-term perspective.”

The evolving Riverdale micro-township remains central to this philosophy. Riverdale Heights offers contemporary high-rise living supported by thoughtfully curated amenities, while Riverdale Residences emphasises spacious planning and comfort-driven layouts. Riverdale Suites addresses compact and efficient living formats, and Riverdale Grove introduces a mix of residential typologies that cater to diverse lifestyle needs within a green, neighbourhood-oriented setting.

Anchoring the township’s premium offering, Riverdale Grand represents Duville Estates most refined residential living within Riverdale. Envisioned as an exclusive 3BHK gated community, it is designed with an emphasis on sustainability, architectural detailing, and elevated living experiences. Riverdale Grand combines expansive layouts, enhanced privacy, and carefully considered materials to deliver residences that align with discerning urban lifestyles.

Complementing the residential ecosystem, Duville Melava Avenue, and Duville Melava High-street, form one of the most impressive retail high-street establishments in all of east Pune. Designed to enhance accessibility and everyday convenience, Melava supports both community interaction and economic activity, reinforcing the township’s integrated character.

With its continued emphasis on thoughtful planning, robust processes, and design-driven development, Duville Estates is strengthening Riverdale as a cohesive micro-township that brings together living, working, and community engagement within a well-considered urban environment.

About Duville Estates
Duville Estates is a renowned real estate developer operating in Mumbai and Pune. Recognized for delivering high-quality residential and commercial properties, the company is committed to redefining urban living through exceptional building design, modern amenities, and a customer-first approach. The company has been responsible for transforming the urban landscape through the creation and delivery of benchmarks in the markets it operates in.

Chemco Group, one of India’s leading plastic packaging manufacturers, has commissioned a state-of-the-art food-grade rPET recycling facility in Sanand, Gujarat, marking a major milestone in the country’s transition towards a circular plastics economy. The project represents a capital investment of approximately Rs. 125 crore and positions Chemco among a select group of Indian companies offering true end-to-end bottle-to-bottle recycling at industrial scale.

Starlinger recycling line at Chemco Group’s food-grade rPET facility in Sanand, Gujarat

The facility is designed to recycle over 1 billion post-consumer PET bottles annually, converting them back into high-quality, food-grade recycled PET (rPET) suitable for direct food and beverage packaging applications. With this commissioning, Chemco significantly strengthens India’s domestic capability to replace virgin plastic with certified recycled material while maintaining stringent quality and safety standards.

Located in the industrial hub of Sanand, the plant has been developed to meet global regulatory expectations. The recycled PET produced at the facility is US FDA and EFSA approved, and fully compliant with FSSAI requirements for food-contact applications in India. In addition, the operations adhere to all applicable Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) governing plastic recycling and recycled PET materials, reinforcing Chemco’s commitment to regulatory excellence and product integrity.

“This facility represents a strategic shift in how Chemco approaches sustainability,” said Mr. Vaibhav Saraogi, Managing Director, Chemco Group. “Rather than treating recycling as an external dependency, we have built a fully integrated bottle-to-bottle ecosystem that gives our customers confidence in supply security, traceability, and compliance. This is not just an investment in infrastructure; it is an investment in the future of responsible packaging.”

The commissioning of this plant comes at a time when global brands and regulators are intensifying their focus on recycled content, carbon reduction, and circularity. By establishing in-house recycling capabilities, Chemco enables its brand partners to meet recycled-content mandates, extended producer responsibility (EPR) obligations, and sustainability commitments without compromising on performance or food safety.

The Sanand facility has been developed as a closed-loop operation, ensuring complete control across the recycling value chain. This integrated approach enhances traceability, reduces dependency on external suppliers, and lowers the environmental impact associated with long logistics routes. The scale of operations also allows Chemco to deliver consistent quality and volumes required by large beverage, FMCG, and food brands.

Beyond environmental impact, the project delivers meaningful industrial and regional benefits. The facility generates skilled employment, strengthens Gujarat’s position as a manufacturing and sustainability hub, and contributes to India’s broader objectives of waste reduction, resource efficiency, and circular manufacturing.

Chemco Group brings over three decades of experience in PET packaging to this initiative, supplying rigid and flexible packaging solutions to leading domestic and international brands. The addition of large-scale rPET recycling further consolidates Chemco’s position as a long-term partner for companies seeking credible, compliant, and scalable sustainable packaging solutions.

As demand for food-grade recycled materials continues to rise across global markets, Chemco plans to leverage this platform to support higher recycled-content applications and future capacity expansions. The company’s approach remains firmly focused on combining industrial scale with regulatory discipline and environmental responsibility.

With the commissioning of its Sanand rPET facility, Chemco Group takes a decisive step forward in closing the loop on PET packaging, transforming waste into a valuable resource and reinforcing its role as a leader in India’s circular plastics ecosystem.
