With a legacy spanning 25 years and a network of over 120+ centres across India, MAAC is pioneering the integration of AI in creative education through this large-scale masterclass.

“This initiative is a significant step toward empowering the next generation of designers and storytellers,” said Sandip Weling, Chief Business Officer, Global Retail Business, Aptech Limited and Brand Custodian, MAAC. He added, “At MAAC, we are committed to equipping our students with future-ready skills that blend creativity with cutting-edge AI technologies. With the pace at which Gen AI is evolving, it’s essential to not just adapt, but lead the change.”

Mr. Deepak Choudhary, Director, MAAC South Ex, Delhi, quoted, “At MAAC, we believe the future belongs to creators who learn to work with AI. We are preparing our students to lead the AI revolution in digital content creation. With studies projecting that over 70% of media and entertainment content will be influenced by AI by 2030, it’s clear that the creative industry is undergoing a massive transformation. From Netflix using AI to optimize content recommendations and script development, to Marvel Studios employing AI for visual effects and pre-visualization, the integration of generative tools is already reshaping how stories are told. Our initiative ensures that India’s creative youth are not just prepared-but positioned to innovate at the forefront of this change.”

Ten expert trainers conducted comprehensive sessions over the five-day program, covering fundamentals to advanced levels of AI design tools. The training features prominent Instagram AI creators such as Luv Sankhla, Deenu Khan (neuraltech.ai), Rahul Tiwary, and Divyansh Mundra (Mahabharat With Divyansh), along with leading industry experts including Ms. Vidushi Saxena from Adobe India and Mr. Vijay Shah, Director of Design at Physics Wallah. Master mentors from MAAC HQ in Mumbai were also part of the program, guiding students through the evolving landscape of Generative AI and its creative applications.

In a world where AI integration is still new to many and concerns about job security remain, MAAC’s initiative reinforces the idea that professionals will not be replaced by AI-but by those who can use AI effectively. The Mega Batch training stands as a bold first move in preparing India’s creative workforce to thrive in the AI-driven future.

India’s favourite summer indulgence is here! The much-awaited lychee season has begun, and Superplum is bringing a refreshing wave of premium, farm-fresh lychees to consumers across India, including South India and Delhi/NCR, with Mumbai coming on board soon.

Grown with care, delivered with freshness, Superplum’s premium lychees now available across India’s top retail and delivery platforms

These juicy, aromatic lychees are sourced from the finest orchards in Bihar, Uttarakhand, Punjab, and West Bengal, regions renowned for producing some of the best lychees in the world. Harvested at peak ripeness, the fruits are cleaned, de- stemmed, and packed at state-of-the-art facilities right at the farms. Each batch is carefully quality-checked, ensuring that only the freshest and safest fruits make their way to customers. They are then transported in refrigerated trucks directly to South and West India, preserving their taste, texture, and nutrition without the use of harmful chemicals or sulphites.

Traditionally, access to such high-quality lychees was limited to regions close to the farms. A large portion of fruit would often spoil during long-distance transport, making it nearly impossible for people in the South and Western parts of the country to enjoy them at their best. In fact, more than 40% of India’s lychee harvest goes to waste every year due to poor supply chain infrastructure.

Superplum is tackling this challenge through a modern, tech-enabled cold chain that keeps lychees cool and fresh from farm to table.

What makes these lychees even more special is Superplum’s traceability technology.

Every pack comes with a QR code that lets consumers trace their fruit back to the specific farm it came from-giving them insight into the journey of their food, and the confidence of knowing exactly what they’re eating.

These fresh and luscious lychees are now available on Swiggy Instamart, Amazon Fresh, Flipkart, and at modern retail stores like Lulu and Metro-delivered fresh and fast, without the mess of stems or leaves.

With Superplum, lychee season isn’t just back-it’s better than ever!

About Superplum
Superplum is an Indian agritech company revolutionizing the fresh fruit industry with a fully digital innovative supply chain. By partnering directly with farmers across India, Superplum delivers high-quality, safe-to-eat fruits to consumers in India and to retailers globally. With a focus on sustainability, transparency, and taste, Superplum is committed to enhancing the fruit-buying experience while uplifting Indian agriculture.

The delegation, led by Ms. Kanimozhi Karunanidhi (Member of Parliament, Lok Sabha), is part of India’s diplomatic initiative Operation Sindoor, which reinforces global solidarity against terrorism. It comprises senior Members of Parliament across party lines, reflecting India’s united stance following the recent Pahalgam terror attacks.

During the visit, Dr. Mittal and fellow delegates are engaging with Spanish parliamentarians, senior officials, thought leaders, and the Indian diaspora to advance bilateral relations and strategic cooperation on counter-terrorism, underscoring a shared commitment to peace and democratic values.

Dr. Mittal stated, “Terrorism is a global challenge that demands a unified response. Through this visit, we reaffirm India’s commitment to zero tolerance and seek deeper cooperation with Spain on matters of global security.“

India and Spain share a steadily strengthening partnership grounded in shared democratic values, economic cooperation, and vibrant cultural exchanges. Bilateral trade between the two nations reached USD 8.78 billion in 2024, reflecting robust growth in sectors such as technology, renewable energy, education, tourism, and defence.

As India’s real estate growth enters a new phase, a silent but significant transformation is underway that is shifting the centre of gravity away from the countrys traditional metros. In his latest strategic report titled “BHARAT 2030: The Silent Surge of Tier-II and Tier-III Cities“, Ashwinder R. Singh-Chairman of the CII Real Estate Committee (North), Vice Chairman of BCD Group, and Advisor to NAR India- maps the future trajectory of growth and inclusion in Indian real estate.

Ashwinder R. Singh

As per the report, the new wave of expansion is not driven by temporary demand overflow, but by long-term structural shifts in aspirations, affordability, and accessibility. Tier II cities like Raipur, Salem, Belagavi, Hosur, Jabalpur, Aurangabad, Tirunelveli, Siliguri, Baddi, Udaipur, and Warangal are emerging as the real engines of India’s next growth story.

Tier III cities like Ayodhya, Dharwad, Sangli, Haldwani, Ajmer, Barshi, Kharagpur, Nanded, Agartala, and Kollam have historically remained under the radar but are now stepping into the spotlight, building the next Rs. 10 lakh crore of India’s real estate economy.

Ashwinder R. Singh – Chairman of the CII Real Estate Committee (North), Vice Chairman of BCD Group, and Advisor to NAR India, states, “For decades, India’s real estate narrative revolved around the top 7-8 metro cities. But that story is being rewritten. What we’re witnessing is not just spillover from saturated metros; it’s a fundamental reshaping of the growth landscape. Cities once considered peripheral are now emerging as vibrant hubs for housing, employment, infrastructure, and investment.”

The report identifies this shift not as a cyclical deviation from the dominance of metros like Delhi, Mumbai, or Bengaluru, but as a deeper reordering of India’s urban development model. It pinpoints the specific growth corridors that exemplify this transformation.

Bhubaneswar is leading the way with walkable neighbourhoods rooted in smart city design and cultural context. Jabalpur and Gwalior are witnessing township-led growth spurred by improved highway networks and air connectivity. Cities like Salem and Tirunelveli are becoming health-tech magnets, following the lead of Coimbatore.

In central India, warehousing hubs are emerging in Raipur, Siliguri, and Belagavi, driven by their strategic locations and enhanced connectivity. Industrial corridors in Hosur, Aurangabad, and Pithampur are evolving into EV manufacturing zones, generating demand for both workforce and executive housing.

Even the knowledge suburbs of Chandigarh, such as Baddi, Barotiwala, and Derabassi, are transforming from industrial satellites into integrated living ecosystems. Meanwhile, cities like Lucknow and Ayodhya are undergoing a renaissance, fuelled by government investment, institutional development, and spiritual tourism.

One of the most powerful insights from Singh’s report is that infrastructure in these cities is leading development. Infrastructure in Tier-II and Tier-III cities is becoming the new imperative for Indian real estate, with expressways, regional airports, railways, and metro lines laying the groundwork for expansion. Corporates are entering early, drawn by cost advantages and access to local talent. Land remains both affordable and available, enabling large-scale, community-led developments. Rising household incomes, improved education, and digital reach are driving aspirations upward. Besides, local governments are offering faster approvals and policy support, making these cities more investor-friendly. The growing trend of reverse migration is further accelerating this shift, as people return home in search of a better quality of life.

In terms of strategy, the report encourages developers to enter early, focusing on plotted developments, affordable housing, and township models, while partnering with local players and ensuring timely delivery to build trust and value. Investors need to look beyond the herd, identifying locations where infrastructure aligns with policy intent, signalled by upcoming highways, GCCs, rail links, and institutional projects. Policymakers must treat these cities as testing grounds for reform, enabling faster digital approvals, promoting sustainable urban mobility, and incentivising ESG-led development for long-term impact.

India@2030 will not be defined solely by the skylines of Delhi, Mumbai, or Bengaluru. It will take shape in the quieter, determined rise of Tier II and III cities. This transformation is about more than just economic growth; it’s about achieving balance, enabling inclusion, and unlocking opportunity across geographies.

EQUIPPP (Expression of Equity Interest in Public and Private Partnerships) facilitates the evolution of Public-Private-People Partnerships (P4s), as the name suggests, between governments, organizations, local bodies, social impact investors, CSR foundations, and others by offering suitable and customized solutions powered by technology and finance.

EQUIPPP partners with SMAAX to evolve P4s in entertainment, sports & rural creator economy, leveraging expertise from operating SIIMA, CCL, INCA, Streaming Awards

SMAAX Digitech Pvt. Ltd. (“SMAAX”) is a high-impact IP-led media-tech company and the exclusive operator of South Indian International Movie Awards (SIIMA), Celebrity Cricket League (CCL), and several upcoming initiatives, including INCA and the Streaming Academy Awards.

EQUIPPP and SMAAX have partnered to combine their respective strengths to foster and evolve Public-Private-People Partnerships (P4s) in the domains of entertainment, sports, and the rural creator economy, further augmenting EQUIPPP’s ongoing efforts in the social impact ecosystem.

To strengthen this relationship-approved in principle by EQUIPPP’s Board at its meeting held on 30th May 2025-EQUIPPP will acquire a 51% equity stake in SMAAX and initiate a strategic infusion of ₹15 crore. This will help consolidate ownership and establish strategic control over SMAAX’s growing media-tech portfolio, which includes SIIMA, CCL, INCA (Indian National Cine Academy), and the Streaming Academy Awards. The enterprise value of SMAAX post-consolidation is capped at ₹150 crore, ensuring a structured and aligned growth roadmap for both entities.

EQUIPPP is now synonymous with P4, a framework that is gaining national momentum. Both the Telugu states, which boast a successful diaspora across the globe, are adopting the P4 approach to advance their holistic development goals. This is evident from Telanganas recent “by the industry, for the industry” BFSI skill development program implemented in P4 mode and shaped by EQUIPPP, as well as initiatives like leveraging philanthropic and CSR capital through T-Fiber to connect 26,000 schools with internet access.

The Government of Andhra Pradesh has adopted P4 as a policy to alleviate poverty, while the Government of Madhya Pradesh is actively pursuing outcome-based funding models.

This partnership will initially focus on co-developing P4s across sectors such as entertainment, sports, and the rural creator economy through a Phygital model.

Vindhya Dronamraju, Wholetime Director, EQUIPPP said, “EQUIPPP was registered as a trademark with GOI in 2015 as an online platform connecting people to intercommunicate and post interests and intentions regarding equity participation, grants, or donations for common social causes. Further, in 2019, we collaborated with Columbia University Press’s Social Value Investing Framework authors and launched their book in India, which explains the cross-sector collaboration approach.”

Further she noted that “I am happy to see that, after 10 years, there is finally light for this collaboration framework of P4 which is synonymous to EQUIPPP in thought and spirit. We are excited to join hands with SMAAX, as the verticals of sports and entertainment will bring greater visibility to P4s and make them truly Phygital.”

Vishnu Vardhan Induri, Director, SMAAX said, “This partnership with EQUIPPP enables us to turn powerful ideas into tangible impact using the P4 model. We will jointly launch Balloon Theatres under the P4 framework where the cinema spaces will be operated in collaboration with local entrepreneurs and CSR partners, offering revenue-sharing models and community ownership.”

He further said that “In parallel, we will use the P4 approach to establish Rural Sports Leagues, in sports such as Kabaddi, Cricket, Volleyball, and Athletics. These leagues will be co-owned by private partners, supported by local governments, and managed by rural entrepreneurs.

Together, EQUIPPP and SMAAX aim to build the new operating system for P4s-powered by creativity, collaboration, and cultural capital-enabling sector-wise and geography-wise participation through truly Phygital formats.”
