Tata Realty & Infrastructure Ltd., one of India’s leading real estate and infrastructure developers, announced that Intellion Park Chennai (formerly Ramanujan IT Park) achieved WELL Core Platinum certification across all buildings from the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI). This makes Intellion Park Chennai India’s largest WELL Core Platinum Certified campus, with no other campus in the country having such a large cluster of WELL Platinum-certified buildings within a single development. This achievement further makes the campus among the world’s largest campuses to achieve WELL certification at this scale and reflects the consistency of Intellion Park Chennai’s design and operational standards.

The WELL Core Platinum certification evaluates ten parameters directly linked to occupant health and productivity, including air quality, light quality, thermal comfort, and acoustic design, thereby setting a measurable standard for how workplaces support the people within them.
 

The scale of this achievement along with being India’s first IFC EDGE Zero Carbon-certified distinguishes Intellion Park Chennai not only within India, but globally, with very few workplace campuses worldwide having achieved WELL Core Platinum certification across an entire multi-building cluster, reinforcing Tata Realty’s leadership in future-ready and environmentally responsible workspaces.
 

“Climate change, severe heat waves, and delayed or excessive rainfall are no longer future concerns, but realities being experienced every year. This has made sustainability and well-being central to how workplaces and cities must evolve,” said Sanjay Dutt, MD & CEO, Tata Realty and Infrastructure Limited. “At the Tata Group, responsible nation-building and sustainability have always been integral to our philosophy, and at Tata Realty, we are committed to carrying that forward through future-ready developments. The WELL Core Platinum certification for Intellion Park Chennai reflects our focus on creating healthier, more resilient workplace ecosystems aligned with global ESG and wellness standards.”
 

India’s rapid growth as a hub for GCCs and MNCs has sharpened occupier expectations around workspace quality. Organisations expanding into India are increasingly requiring office environments that meet global ESG benchmarks, support employee well-being and meet the governance expectations of global stakeholders. Intellion Park Chennai’s triple certification directly addresses this demand.
 

“Our goal at Intellion Offices has always been to deliver workplaces that hold their own against the best in the world, not just in design, but in sustainability performance and occupier experience,” said Ritesh Sachdev, Senior Vice President & Head – Commercial Leasing, Tata Realty. “For GCC operators and multinationals, certified, future-ready infrastructure is increasingly non-negotiable. This achievement gives our tenants a workplace they can point to with confidence, one that enhances productivity while aligning with global wellness and ESG standards.”

Some voices are born on grand stages. Others begin in the quiet corners of ordinary homes, waiting for an opportunity to be heard. For 12-year-old Abhisheka, a government school student from a small village in Tamil Nadu and the daughter of a daily-wage labourer, that opportunity arrived through a reality television show.

Receiving a home makes this moment even more special for me and my family. This is not just a prize; it is a blessing and a dream come true. I am grateful to everyone who believed in me, supported me and encouraged me throughout this journey.”

Riyadh Art has announced the installation of Family Tree (2020) by Indian contemporary artist Subodh Gupta, now on view at the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) arrival plaza in Riyadh. The artwork makes its Riyadh debut, marking the first time it has been displayed in the city. The work enters the Riyadh Art Permanent Collection as part of the program’s ongoing mission to integrate art into daily life across the city.

Constructed from stainless steel and everyday household utensils, the large-scale sculpture takes the form of a peepal, or bodhi, tree, a species associated with cultural and spiritual significance across South Asia. By translating an organic form into metal and everyday domestic objects, Gupta repositions the tree within a contemporary, secular context.

The work brings together objects commonly linked to domestic life, including tiffin boxes, thali pans, and milk pails, into a branching sculptural structure that reflects sustenance, migration, labour, and economic transformation. Installed within one of Riyadh’s key urban districts, Family Tree engages directly in its surrounding environment, creating both a public landmark and a place for gathering and reflection.

“Family Tree reflects the power of art to connect people through familiar materials and shared experiences,” said Architect Badr Shenafi, Senior Director of Riyadh Art. “By bringing a work of this scale and significance to the capital, Riyadh Art continues to strengthen the presence of contemporary art within the city’s public spaces and everyday urban experience.”

Subodh Gupta (b. 1964) is an Indian contemporary artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans sculpture, installation, painting, photography, video, and performance. Born in Bihar, India, Gupta spent his early years traveling with a theatre group before studying painting at the College of Art in Patna, where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. After relocating to New Delhi, his practice expanded beyond painting into three-dimensional and installation-based work.

Gupta is widely known for incorporating stainless steel kitchen utensils and other objects associated with domestic life in India into his work. Through these familiar materials, he examines themes of cultural identity, migration, globalization, and economic transformation. His work reflects the relationship between tradition and modernity, abundance and scarcity, and local experience and global circulation. Gupta has exhibited internationally in major museums, biennales, and public art contexts, and his work is held in prominent public and private collections worldwide.

Family Tree forms part of the Riyadh Art Permanent Collection, a growing citywide collection of public artworks installed across Riyadh’s neighbourhoods, public spaces, and routes of movement. Led by the Royal Commission for Riyadh City, Riyadh Art is one of the world’s largest public art programs and one of Riyadh’s four original mega projects under Vision 2030.

Since its launch in 2019, Riyadh Art has installed 75 artworks across the city as part of the Permanent Collection, with further artworks planned for installation throughout 2026 and beyond. Across its annual festivals, Noor Riyadh and Tuwaiq Sculpture, Riyadh Art has showcased more than 580 works in multiple locations around the capital, attracting more than 17.3 million visitors and spectators to date. 

Through works such as Family Tree, Riyadh Art continues to support the development of a public art collection that contributes to Riyadh’s cultural landscape and public realm.

We believe Private Estates is well-positioned to cater to evolving lifestyle aspirations while benefiting from the long-term growth potential of the region.”

The project offers seamless connectivity to established commercial hubs such as Hadapsar, Hadapsar Annexe, SP Infocity, Magarpatta, and Kharadi, along with Pune’s leading education and healthcare institutions.

Driven by transformative infrastructure projects such as the proposed airport, IT Park, Inner and Outer Ring Roads, and the rapid expansion of IT and industrial corridors, the Pune Growth Corridor is fast emerging as one of the region’s most promising real estate destinations.

What if a paint brand stopped telling you it works and simply showed you… in infrared? That is the idea behind the new Digital Video Campaign (DVC) by Kansai Nerolac Paints Limited, one of the leading Indian paint companies, for its advanced heat reflective coating – Nerolac Perma NoHeat. Produced by creative and content agency BUZZINga for Kansai Nerolac Paints, the campaign used the only thermal imaging camera available in India to showcase the functionality of Perma NoHeat, demonstrating a 15°C surface temperature reduction visible to the naked eye.

Kansai Nerolac Paints puts heat on camera

The DVC puts Nerolac Perma NoHeat through a real test and let the thermal camera render the verdict. Filmed in Rajasthan, the experiment captures surface temperatures on treated and untreated surfaces using a thermal vision camera. The resulting footage, rendered in heat spectrum colour, transforms what would otherwise be an invisible physical phenomenon into something consumers can process in seconds. The resulting visual contrast clearly demonstrates the coating’s ability to reduce surface temperatures under real-world conditions. The use of thermal imaging in this DVC marks a notable departure from conventional category communication in Indian paints. By making that readout the centrepiece of the film, BUZZINga and Kansai Nerolac Paints have effectively converted an abstract product specification into a visible, real time proof point.

Ramkrishna Naik, Chief Marketing Officer, Kansai Nerolac Paints Limited said, “With Nerolac Perma NoHeat, we have always known that the product’s strongest advocate is its own performance. Our objective with this campaign was to close the gap between what we claim and what the consumer can independently verify. It was not built on storytelling alone, but on evidence. We believe that in a market where trust and performance accountability are becoming central to purchase decisions, this approach sets a new benchmark for how paint brands can communicate product efficacy.”

“The brief was simple: help consumers understand that a paint can actually help reduce heat. We felt the answer wasn’t in explaining the science better, but in making it visible. That thinking led us to conceive and execute a film built around thermal imaging technology and a real-world experiment. At BUZZINga, we’re always looking for new ways to make brand stories more tangible, and this approach allowed us to turn an invisible benefit into something consumers could instantly see and understand. In doing so, we helped create what we believe is a first-of-its-kind use of thermal imaging in the Indian paint category to showcase actual product performance,” Kritika Beri, Co-Founder, BUZZINga added.

Designed for exterior walls, terraces, and rooftop surfaces, Nerolac Perma NoHeat functions as a passive cooling intervention, requiring no power or upkeep. It is engineered for the specific challenges of the Indian subcontinent, through specialised pigments designed to reflect solar radiation and reduce heat absorption.

Organised jointly by IRSE (Indian Section) and IRSTE (India) under the aegis of the Ministry of Railways, Government of India, the Convention brought together senior officials from Indian Railways, policymakers, international railway administrations, technology leaders, industry experts, researchers and global companies working in rail infrastructure, signalling, artificial intelligence, telecommunications, cloud computing, cybersecurity, automation and smart mobility solutions.

The Convention was centred around the theme “Designing, Developing and Manufacturing AI-Driven Next Generation Railway Control, Command and Signalling Systems for a Viksit Bharat,” reflecting India’s commitment towards building a modern, safe, efficient and globally competitive railway ecosystem powered by indigenous innovation and advanced technologies. The three-day event featured high-level plenary sessions, technical conferences, expert panel discussions, industry exhibitions, product demonstrations and extensive business networking opportunities.

The Convention commenced with a grand Inaugural Function on 10th June 2026, which witnessed the presence of several distinguished dignitaries and senior railway officials including Vivek Gupta, Member Infrastructure, Railway Board; His Excellency Tran Thanh Tung, Charge d’Affaires of Vietnam in India; K.V.

The inaugural evening also featured spectacular performances by renowned Bollywood laughter artists and entertainers Sugandha Mishra and Dr. Sanket Bhosale, who enthralled the august gathering with their rib-tickling comedy acts, musical performances and engaging stage presence, adding a vibrant cultural dimension to the Convention.

The exhibition at the Convention saw more than 100 leading companies showcase cutting-edge innovations in railway signalling, train traffic management systems, telecommunications, predictive maintenance, AI-driven operations, digital twins, cybersecurity, intelligent transportation systems and indigenous railway technologies.

The Convention assumed special significance at a time when Indian Railways is undergoing unprecedented modernization and capacity expansion through transformative initiatives including indigenous train protection systems, digital railway operations, high-speed and semi-high-speed corridors, dedicated freight networks and advanced signalling technologies.

The event also served as a powerful platform for strengthening international cooperation in the railway sector. Delegations and representatives from friendly nations and countries across the Asia-Pacific region, participated in discussions exploring opportunities for collaboration in railway modernisation, technology transfer, skill development and capacity building.

Speaking on the occasion, Anshul Gupta, Secretary Association, IRSE Indian Section and Advisor, RailTel Corporation of India Ltd., Ministry of Railways, said, “India is today emerging as a global hub for railway technology, innovation and engineering excellence. The IRSE-IRSTE International Railway Convention & Exhibition 2026 has provided a unique platform for policymakers, railway administrators, technology providers and industry leaders from across the world to exchange ideas, showcase innovations and build partnerships that will shape the future of rail transportation. The Convention reflects India’s vision of creating world-class railway infrastructure powered by indigenous innovation, digital transformation and international collaboration.“

One of the highlights of the Exhibition was the Best Booth Competition, wherein participating exhibitors were evaluated by an eminent Jury comprising senior railway officers and distinguished technocrats on various parameters including Booth Design, Visual Appeal, Product Presentation, Innovation, Technology Display and Visitor Engagement.

The Best Booth Award was presented to JMV, while TATA NOVA and GG TRONICS secured the second and third positions respectively.

The Convention was curated by internationally acclaimed filmmaker, cultural diplomat and festival curator Captain Rahul Bali and professionally managed by Innovations India Advertising & Events Pvt. Ltd.

Sharing his vision at the conclusion of the event, Captain Rahul Bali said,”Indian Railways is undoubtedly the pride of India. Over the years, Indian railway companies have developed world-class technologies, innovations and capabilities that are now ready to serve global markets. It is time that we take the fragrance of India’s railway excellence to the world by actively engaging with international partners and showcasing our strengths across continents. Such initiatives will not only bring global recognition to Indian innovation but also create significant business opportunities for Indian companies.”

He further added that platforms such as the upcoming Namaste New Zealand Festival 2026 and Namaste Vietnam Festival 2026, both being curated by him under the aegis of the respective Indian Missions, offer excellent opportunities for Indian railway, mobility and technology companies to engage with international stakeholders, explore collaborations and contribute towards strengthening India’s economic and strategic partnerships across the world.

As India accelerates towards becoming a global leader in railway technology and infrastructure, the IRSE-IRSTE International Railway Convention & Exhibition 2026 has established itself as a landmark platform for innovation, collaboration and knowledge exchange, reinforcing India’s position at the forefront of next-generation railway systems and smart mobility solutions.
