The launch of the new Fortis Medical Centre in Ulhasnagar reflects Fortis Healthcare’s continued focus on expanding its footprint beyond metropolitan centres, bringing specialist consultations, chronic disease management, and multidisciplinary clinical expertise closer to where patients live. Built on a patient-first philosophy, the centre reduces the need for long-distance travel for families while improving continuity of care and health outcomes for the community.

Speaking at the inauguration, Baba Sai Kaliram Saheb ji said, “Good health is the foundation of a happy and thriving community. In today’s fast-paced world, families often face challenges in accessing timely and specialized medical care, especially for the elderly, those living with chronic illnesses, and patients requiring regular treatment.

When healthcare is available within the community, it not only supports physical well-being but also provides comfort and reassurance to patients and their families during difficult times. It is heartening to see initiatives that prioritize the health and welfare of the community and contribute towards building a healthier future for all.”

The centre brings together specialists from multiple disciplines under one roof, enabling coordinated care for patients with complex and chronic health conditions.

Dr S. Narayani, Business Head-Fortis Hospitals Maharashtra, said, “The launch of Fortis Medical Centre in Ulhasnagar marks an important step in our commitment to expanding access to quality healthcare across the city.

With plans to introduce oncology day-care services in the near future, we are building a healthcare ecosystem that not only addresses current healthcare requirements but is also equipped to meet the growing needs of the region in the years ahead.”

Beyond outpatient care, the centre is equipped to facilitate timely emergency response and patient transfers. In critical situations, patients can be rapidly referred and transferred to nearby hospitals or to Fortis Hospitals in Kalyan and Mulund, ensuring access to advanced tertiary and quaternary care whenever required.

Kody Technolab Limited (NSE: KODYTECH), a leading deep-tech robotics and AI company, has entered into a multi-year tripartite agreement with Falcon Tech Robotics LLC, UAE, the Company’s UAE joint venture, and Sccore AI Tech Diagnostic Limited, UAE. Under the Agreement, Kody Technolab has been appointed the exclusive worldwide manufacturer of its Medigo range of AI-powered healthcare screening robots, with Falcon serving as the exclusive global distributor and Sccore undertaking worldwide deployment and commercialisation.

Signed agreement exchanged between leaders of Kody Technolab Limited, Falcon Tech Robotics & Sccore AI Tech in Dubai, UAE

The engagement is structured for execution over the three-year term of the Agreement, with manufacturing and supply of Medigo units to commence in H1 of FY 2026-27 and continuing across the term. The Agreement is underpinned by a binding minimum purchase framework structured across biannual commercial periods, providing Kody Technolab Limited with structured commercial visibility through the term.

The Agreement positions Kody Technolab at the intersection of one of healthcare’s largest unmet needs and one of its fastest-growing markets. According to the WHO and World Bank, an estimated 4.5 billion people, over half the world’s population, lack full access to essential health services. Against this backdrop, leading industry research projects the global preventive healthcare market to grow from approximately USD 268.7 billion in 2023 to USD 585.6 billion by 2030, providing a substantial addressable market for AI-powered, autonomous healthcare screening platforms such as Medigo.

The Agreement establishes a tripartite commercial framework spanning manufacturing, distribution and worldwide deployment of Kody Technolab’s medical robotics platform. Kody Technolab will manufacture the Products on an exclusive worldwide basis. Falcon Tech Robotics LLC, Kody Technolab’s UAE-based joint venture, will undertake exclusive global distribution and commercial coordination. Sccore AI Tech Diagnostic Limited, UAE, will deploy and commercialize the Products across international markets.

Medigo AI-powered healthcare screening robot developed by Kody Technolab Limited

The Medigo Range

The Medigo range comprises four AI-powered healthcare screening robots, each engineered to deliver clinical-grade preventive screening within minutes, without dependence on specialised medical staff:

• Medigo Static – a stationary, autonomous health-screening robot designed for fixed deployments in primary health centres, corporate campuses, public institutions, and other high-footfall locations.

• Medigo Kids – a paediatric screening robot purpose-built for children’s health check-ups in schools, pediatric clinics and community child-health programmes.

• Medigo Women – a women’s health screening robot tailored for gender-specific preventive check-ups across maternal, reproductive and general wellness parameters.

• Medigo Mobile – a moving / robotic “health screening ATM” engineered for on-demand and last-mile deployments across transit hubs, rural outreach routes and high-footfall public spaces.

Each unit is built to screen for a broad spectrum of conditions across metabolic, cardiovascular, infectious, sensory and mental health categories, generate a consolidated report within minutes in the patient’s preferred language, and feed real-time anonymised data into institutional and government health dashboards.

The engagement represents a significant milestone in Kody Technolab’s strategy to scale its healthcare robotics business globally and strengthens the Company’s strategic presence in the UAE and other international markets. By combining Kody Technolab’s engineering platform with Falcon’s regional reach and Sccore’s deployment capabilities, the tripartite structure is designed to deliver Medigo-led screening infrastructure at scale across multiple geographies, reinforcing Kody Technolab’s positioning as a category-defining player in AI-powered healthcare robotics.

The Board believes this engagement marks a meaningful step in Kody Technolab’s international growth trajectory and reflects the strong commercial pull for the Company’s medical robotics platform.

Management Commentary

“This Agreement is a defining moment in our journey to take Kody Technolab’s healthcare robotics platform to global scale. The Medigo range has been engineered to address real screening needs across diverse populations, demographics and care settings, and the tripartite structure of this Agreement spanning exclusive worldwide manufacturing, global distribution through our UAE joint venture, and on-ground deployment by Sccore, gives us a powerful, integrated route to international markets. We see this as the start of a long-term, multi-geography deployment of our medical robotics platform, and we are committed to delivering at the quality, scale and pace that this opportunity demands,” Manav Subhashchandra Patel, Managing Director, Kody Technolab Limited.

“Sccore is proud to partner with Kody Technolab and Falcon Tech Robotics in bringing the Medigo platform to global markets. Access to timely, affordable preventive screening remains one of the most critical unmet needs of our time, and the Medigo range, engineered for clinical-grade screening, multilingual interaction and real-time data delivery, gives us a uniquely scalable platform to meet that need. We look forward to deploying Medigo at scale across diverse healthcare environments worldwide, in long-term partnership with Kody Technolab and Falcon,” Prashant Sawant, Chairman & MD, Sccore AI Tech Diagnostic Limited.

With its legacy of trust since 1964, PMJ Jewels continues its mission of preserving and celebrating Indian traditions while delivering world-class jewellery to the global Indian community.

About PMJ Jewels
Established in 1964, PMJ Jewels is one of India’s most trusted jewellery brands, renowned for its exquisite gold, diamond, and traditional South Indian jewellery. With a strong commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and customer trust, the brand has been “Celebrating Forever” for generations and is now bringing the same experience to the United States.

Every season brings a new mood. This one just happens to sparkle a little brighter. After seasons defined by quiet luxury, the Indian fashion scene is embracing a more expressive mood. Jewellery is now the conversation starter, the mood-lifter and, increasingly, the headline act. Ethnic Silver is reclaiming its cool factor, stacks are becoming more personal, and celebration dressing is embracing a touch of glorious colour and excess. From runway cues and red-carpet moments to the pieces already finding their way onto wish lists, Kushals Fashion Jewellery rounds up the 5 trends poised to shape the season ahead. 

The top jewellery trends shaping the season

The Sculptural Statement
Some trends whisper. This one arrives with presence.

Oversized chain-link necklaces, chunky hoops and wide cuffs are emerging as favourites among the fashion set. Defined by bold proportions, smooth curves and striking metal forms, these pieces bring a sculptural quality to everyday dressing. Crafted in premium brass metal with a comfortable fit, they balance artistic expression with effortless wearability, proving that contemporary style is anything but predictable.

Desi maximalism
“If festive jewellery had a love language, it would be bold.” 

Celebration jewellery has never subscribed to the less-is-more philosophy. This season, desi maximalism is reclaiming its spotlight through bold and layered necklaces, ornate chandbalis, stacked bangles, and craftsmanship that’s impossible to overlook. From pieces crafted in antique finishes to intricate kundan designs and statement American diamond styles, these details bring richness and grandeur to every look. The beauty of fashion jewellery lies in its ability to deliver a high-impact look without burning a hole in your pocket. If there was ever a season to make an entrance, this would be it. 
 

The Stack Edit

Once upon a time, matching sets ruled supreme. Now? The charm lies in the mix.

Layered chains, pendant combinations, ring and bracelet stacks and curated ear stories continue to dominate, turning jewellery into a form of self-expression. There’s no exact formula and that’s precisely the point. The beauty of stacking lies in building combinations that feel collected rather than coordinated, evolving with mood and personal style. With new designs launching every week at Kushals, there’s always something new to layer, mix and make your own.

The Silver Temple Revival
Some pieces do more than complete a look. They tell a story.

Intricately handcrafted and adorned with traditional temple and god motifs, silver temple jewellery is having a defining moment. Rich in artistry and rooted in tradition, these pieces bring depth and meaning to festive dressing. Crafted in BIS hallmarked 92.5 silver, they offer a timeless way to celebrate Indian traditions while embracing personal style. In an era of self-expression, wearing your roots proudly has never felt more relevant.

Enter: The Pastel Hues Era
Some jewellery sparkles. Coloured have a little more fun.

The softer tones of the Pastel Hues collection are breathing new life into traditional silhouettes. Lavender and light pink hues, paired with American diamonds and enhanced with 18K gold plating, bring a fresh take to celebration dressing. Whether paired with pastel organza sarees, floral lehengas, or contemporary festive ensembles, these vibrant accents add personality and a welcome sense of fun. Equal parts celebratory and expressive, they prove that neutrals aren’t the only way to make a statement. 

The final word
This season doesn’t ask you to choose between timeless and trend-driven. Instead, it invites you to have fun with both. Whether it’s the drama of desi maximalism, the optimism of pastel hues collection, the cool factor of ethnic silver, the ease of stacking or the confidence of a sculptural silhouette, this season’s jewellery trends share one common thread: personality. The best pieces aren’t just worn-they say something about the person wearing them.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Vairamuthu said, “Today, Tirunelveli has access to world-class healthcare services comparable to those available in major metropolitan cities. With the presence of advanced multispecialty hospitals and highly skilled medical professionals, people from Tirunelveli no longer need to travel to Chennai, Madurai, Trivandrum, or other major cities for advanced treatments. Through this campaign, we wanted to create greater awareness about the quality and range of healthcare services available locally.”

The event was held at the newly inaugurated building of Kauvery Hospital, Tirunelveli. Spread across 2 lakh sq. ft., the state-of-the-art facility is a 300-bed hospital offering comprehensive care across 25 medical specialties.

As real estate developments evolve and architectural trends come and go, Duville Estates is strengthening its commitment to a philosophy that places longevity, purpose, and human experience at the heart of every development.

For the company, design is not merely an exercise in aesthetics. It is a way of thinking. At its core, design thinking begins by asking a fundamental question: What should a building do for the people who live in it? The answer shapes every aspect of development from planning and spatial design to functionality, community engagement, and long-term relevance.

This approach is guided by a legacy that stretches back to 1810. For over two centuries, the Dubash family has built businesses grounded in trust, integrity, and a commitment to delivering value beyond expectation. Those principles have endured across generations, industries, and economic cycles, forming the foundation upon which Duville Estates operates today.

Rather than following architectural design tied to a particular era, Duville Estates embraces the concept of timeless design enveloping both form and function creating Luxury homes and communities that remain relevant, adaptable, and desirable for years to come. The company believes that truly successful developments are those that continue to enhance living long after they are completed.
 

The philosophy is increasingly relevant as Pune’s eastern corridor emerges as one of the city’s most promising growth destinations. Driven by infrastructure development, commercial expansion, and changing lifestyle aspirations, the region presents an opportunity to create communities designed not just for today’s residents, but for future generations as well.

Duville Estates is actively evaluating opportunities to expand its brand in the most relevant micro markets in East Pune and other strategic locations across Maharashtra as part of its long-term growth vision. Every future development will continue to be guided by the same principles that have shaped the organisation for generations thoughtful planning, enduring value, and a deep respect for the communities it serves.

Commenting on the company’s approach to design and development, Mr. Tushad B. Dubash, Director, Duville Estates, said, “The buildings we admire most are often those that continue to remain relevant decades after they were created. That is because they were designed with purpose, not just for a moment in time. At Duville Estates, we believe good design should improve how people live, adapt to changing needs, and continue creating value long into the future. Every decision we make is guided by our building ideology. ‘To Build is Temporary. To Create is Forever’ is more than a statement it reflects how we approach development. Construction may have an end date, but the impact of a thoughtfully designed community can last for generations. Our focus is on creating homes that people are proud to call home today and will continue to cherish tomorrow.”

As Duville Estates enters its next phase of growth, the company remains focused on creating developments that combine thoughtful design, enduring quality, and a long-term vision continuing a legacy that has been shaped over 215 years and remains firmly focused on the future.
