Esri India, the market leader in Geographic Information System (GIS) software, location intelligence, and mapping solutions in India, has launched its Digital Atlas Program, an initiative designed to make geography education more engaging and impactful for school students. Supported through ArcGIS Online, the Digital Atlas Program is available free of cost to schools across India.
 

Esri India Launches Digital Atlas Program for Schools

With curriculum-relevant content and ready-to-use resources, the program is aimed to help teachers create learning experiences that spark curiosity, encourage exploration, and connect classroom concepts to real-world situations. It will enable students to ask questions and find answers, discover the world beyond the textbook, and turn their discoveries into creative projects. By exploring relationships between people, places, and the environment, students will develop a deeper and more connected understanding of geography. The aspiration is to move students from being map users to map investigators, and eventually, knowledge creators.

Agendra Kumar, Managing Director, Esri India, said, “Through the Digital Atlas Program, we want to make geography learning more engaging for school students. The vision is to have students see geography differently. Instead of simply asking, ‘Where is it?’, students can start asking, ‘Why is it there?’, ‘What is connected to it?’, ‘What does this pattern tell me?’, and even, ‘What could happen next?’ For example, while learning about urban flooding, their questions can become more inquiry-driven, such as, ‘Where did the flooding take place?’, ‘Why did it happen?’, ‘How many people were impacted?’, ‘What could cause flooding to happen again?’, ‘What can be done to prevent it?’, and so on. The Digital Atlas Program brings together maps, data, and context to drive this kind of inquisitiveness. Importantly, since the program is curriculum-linked, it makes learning geography exciting right in the classroom.”

GIS is becoming increasingly integral to how we understand and address the challenges of a rapidly changing world. Today’s students are the future of our country, and nurturing spatial thinking through school education can enable them to view real-world challenges from a geographic perspective from an early age. The Digital Atlas Program is not just about teaching students to use maps. It is about developing spatial thinking. It builds on Esri India’s experience of working with schools, colleges, and universities to introduce students to GIS and geospatial technologies. 

As homes across India prepare for the approaching festival of lights, the act of gathering and sharing food remains at the core of the occasion. Marking the season of community, artisanal food brand Patang has officially launched its Diwali Edit 2026. The curated collection features region-specific Indian savouries, traditional accompaniments, and handcrafted keepsake boxes designed to evoke warmth, shared nostalgia, and the spirit of hospitality that defines the season.
 

Patang’s Diwali Edit 2026, celebrating India’s regional flavours, festive togetherness and timeless craftsmanship
 

In a modern landscape where festive gift exchanges often rely on generic confectioneries and mass-produced sweet boxes, Patang’s latest collection offers a thoughtful alternative. Rather than viewing a gift as a simple commercial token, the brand approaches its festive range as a vehicle for meaningful connection. By stepping away from standard seasonal fare and focusing on regional savoury gastronomy, the collection introduces a distinct culinary narrative to the festive table. Each offering centres on authentic Indian culinary heritage, using traditional recipes prepared at their places of origin with simple, natural ingredients, completely free of palm oil.
 

The launch also highlights how consumer brands can honour cultural heritage while supporting local craftsmanship. The Diwali Edit 2026 pairs regional flavours with handcrafted items, actively sustaining traditional artisan practices. Tucked inside the Utsav and Pitara boxes are handmade mitti diyas (earthen lamps) shaped from raw earth by skilled rural artisans, serving as a physical reminder of the craftsmanship that gives the festival its character.
 

The collection introduces distinct gift arrangements tailored for varying festive moments, personal celebrations, and corporate expressions of gratitude:
 

The Utsav Box, conceived as an accessible homage to regional taste, is a collectible keepsake box that houses five signature regional snacks paired with a set of handmade earthen diyas. It serves as an invitation to experience authentic local flavours while honouring traditional festive lighting rituals.
 

The Pitara Box, created for evening gatherings, card parties, and family reunions, this is a comprehensive set that features four regional snacks alongside two traditional pickles. Adding a touch of festive leisure and community bonding, the box includes a custom deck of playing cards alongside a matching pair of earthen diyas.
 

The Aabhaar Box, designed for corporate gifting, this presentation is curated rather than assembled: a customisable selection built from fourteen artisan snacks and four traditional pickles, layered with coffee, chocolate, and honey from partner makers. Each box is shaped to reflect the sender, offering organisations a refined, heritage-driven way to honour employees, business partners, and community stakeholders during the festive season.
 

Every box in the range has been purposefully designed to be kept, repurposed, and cherished long after the contents have been enjoyed, reducing unnecessary festive packaging waste while extending the life of the craft object itself. This box of nostalgia is available on Website (thepatangstory.com) and Blinkit.
 

Reflecting on the strategy and vision behind the 2026 edition, Shoury Gupta, Founder & CEO of Patang outlined the operational philosophy guiding this year’s launch, “Festival gifting has increasingly drifted towards transactional exchanges, often relying on standard confectioneries that lack personal connection. With our Diwali Edit 2026, our objective was to pivot towards authentic savoury heritage and regional provenance. By combining origin-based recipes with traditional craftsmanship, we are offering an alternative that prioritises quality, cultural continuity, and genuine hospitality for both personal and corporate occasions.”
 

Beyond the physical items, Patang’s festive release highlights a broader industry shift towards intentionality and mindful celebration. By prioritising origin-based preparation, simple wholesome ingredients, and artisanal earthenware, the collection provides a subtle reminder that the most memorable gifts are those that foster human connection and honour culinary traditions.
 

About Patang
Patang exists to preserve and celebrate India’s regional food heritage in a modern format. The brand’s mission is to revive the traditional flavours of India using all-natural, high-quality ingredients, bringing back cherished memories and creating moments of joy in every bite. Patang does not believe it is creating something new. It believes it is making sure what already exists continues to thrive.

BHIVE Workspace, India’s campus coworking company, today unveiled its first-ever brand film featuring Brand Ambassador Milind Soman, marking another step in the company’s ambition to redefine how workplaces should be designed, experienced, and what people must expect from their workday.

BHIVE Unveils Its First-Ever Brand Film with Milind Soman, Turning Its Campus Workplace Vision into a Movement

The film brings to life BHIVE’s vision of a workplace ecosystem that goes beyond traditional office infrastructure to support how people work, move, connect and recharge.

Watch The Film: youtu.be/eGlVRZbY2FE

Built around humour and movement, the film challenges the conventional idea of an office. It opens with Milind in a cramped traditional workspace before moving into a BHIVE Campus, where the workday unfolds through walking meetings, pickleball, recreation, focused work and downtime. In one playful moment, BHIVE Founder & CEO Shesh Rao Paplikar shares a witty exchange with Milind that turns a conventional “elevator pitch” into Milind’s preferred “staircase pitch.”

The narrative reflects a broader shift in workplace expectations. As companies increasingly focus on employee wellbeing, experience, and community, BHIVE is building campuses around the belief that a workplace should enable more than productivity; it should support a more active and balanced way of living.

Shesh Rao Paplikar, Founder & CEO, BHIVE Workspace, said, “As the first campus workspace company in India to unveil a brand film, we wanted to use this moment to make a larger statement about how the workplace is evolving. This film is not just about showcasing BHIVE; it is about challenging the conventional idea of an office. With Milind, we could bring that vision alive as he’s someone who naturally represents fitness, discipline and an active lifestyle. Through the film, we want to show that the modern workplace can go beyond desks to become a campus ecosystem where people can work, move, connect and recharge. The film reflects our ambition to redefine the workspace landscape and set a new expectation for how people experience their workday.”

Milind Soman, Brand Ambassador, BHIVE Workspace, said, “Fitness has never been just about a workout for me; it is about discipline, purpose, resilience and most importantly how you choose to live every day, every moment. That is what made the BHIVE association a natural fit. The idea that you can work, move, play, meet people and recharge in the same environment feels very relevant to how people want to live today. In the film, I think people will recognise themselves in some of these situations and hopefully start asking whether their own workplace could be a little more energetic.”

The brand film builds on BHIVE’s association with Milind Soman, which is rooted in the shared philosophy of fitness, active living, and long-term performance, brought to life through BHIVE’s fitness-led workspace ecosystems.

The film marks the next chapter in BHIVE’s fitness-led journey with Milind Soman, positioning its campuses as workplace ecosystems where productivity, movement and active living come together. Through sports zones, pickleball, recreational facilities, cafés, lounges and community-led experiences, BHIVE aims to make it easier for people to move more, stay active and build healthier routines as part of the everyday workday, without having to step away from the campus ecosystem.

The film closes with BHIVE’s proposition: “Elevate your lifestyle at work.”

Ember, India’s premium kitchenware brand, and pioneer of the country’s non-toxic cookware movement, today announced the launch of SuperPan- its third proprietary material innovation and the brand’s most ambitious engineering breakthrough to date.

Ember SuperPan

Following the success of Arcilla, its category-defining ceramic technology, and TitaniumClad, its enamelled cast iron innovation, Ember now turns its focus to stainless steel. SuperPan introduces TitaniumSteel, a new material, powered by patent-pending NanoFusion technology, a zero-coating, naturally non-stick cooking surface that delivers the performance of stainless steel without the compromises traditionally associated with it.

Introducing TitaniumSteel

At the heart of SuperPan is TitaniumSteel- a new material developed after years of research, prototyping and material engineering.

Using a proprietary high-temperature plasma fusion process, titanium is permanently fused with stainless steel . NanoFusion then engineers the surface at a microscopic level, creating a finely textured structure that can naturally hold a thin film of oil, thus eliminating the need for a coating. The result is a 5-ply stainless steel pan that combines exceptional durability, high-heat performance and naturally non-stick cooking in one material.

“Ember has never been about finding one perfect material. It’s been about making every material consumers need better. From making your everyday non-stick pan PFAS free, to making cast iron rust proof, every product has started with the same question: what’s the biggest frustration people still live with? Stainless steel was the obvious next chapter. It’s loved for being clean, durable and timeless, yet millions of people still find it intimidating to cook on. We investigated multiple pathways, including advanced coatings, surface treatments and material engineering, before asking ourselves a different question: what if there was no coating at all? That question led to TitaniumSteel and NanoFusion – our re-engineering of stainless steel for the Indian kitchen,” – Siddharth Gadodia, Founder & CEO, Ember.

Designed for the Way India Cooks

Before developing SuperPan, Ember conducted qualitative research across 120+ Indian households to understand not just what cookware people owned, but what they actually reached for every day. The findings revealed a clear behavioural shift: while stainless steel and cast iron were present in nearly every kitchen, ceramic and other non-stick alternatives had become the everyday choice because they combined clean cooking, effortless food release and lower oil usage.

As more consumers seek cleaner alternatives to PFAS-based cookware, a clear gap emerged in the category. That consumer need became the foundation for SuperPan. 

“Our research showed that people like the idea of stainless steel given India’s love for high heat cooking and metal spatulas, – but low-oil cooking, cooking time, and ease of food release and cleaning, were leading to that Triply pan not getting picked up. They wanted the high-heat performance of stainless steel, the durability of cast iron and the effortless experience they had discovered with Arcilla Ceramic. Our challenge wasn’t to replace stainless steel – it was to remove the compromise that came with it ,” – Himanshi Tandon, Co-founder & CMO, Ember.

Global Design. Everyday Use

SuperPan is the latest innovation to emerge from Ember’s global R&D ecosystem. The brand’s innovation journey is driven by its California R&D Centre, led by renowned industrial designer Bret Recor, and brought to life through the Ember Innovation Lab in India, led by Chef Saransh Goila. Together, the teams combine world-class product design, material science and deep culinary insight – validated through rigorous testing and real-world cooking – to build cookware engineered specifically for the way India cooks.

This is the second innovation to emerge from the Ember Innovation Lab, which came into existence in 2025.

“This is the kitchenware upgrade the industry has been waiting for,” added Chef Saransh Goila, Chief Culinary & Innovation Officer, Ember. “You get the aggressive, high-heat searing capability of a heavy cast-iron skillet, combined with the effortless release of a brand-new non-stick and you can literally take a metal whisk to it. It defies everything we were taught about cookware.“

A New Chapter for Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is one of India’s most trusted cookware materials, accounting for approximately 32% of India’s cookware market. Yet its everyday usability has remained largely unchanged. With SuperPan, Ember brings its material-first innovation philosophy to stainless steel, introducing TitaniumSteel – the next chapter after Arcilla and TitaniumClad.

Availability

The SuperPan is now available on embercookware.com and across leading retail partners including Amazon, Food Square, Food Stories, Epic, Origin, and select premium cookware and home retail stores across India.

The Science Behind SuperPan

• TitaniumSteel: A new material engineered for naturally non-stick cooking.

• NanoFusion Technology: Patent-pending surface engineering that permanently integrates titanium into stainless steel.

• 5-Ply Construction: Even heat from base to rim for consistent cooking.

• Zero Coating: No PTFE, PFAS or synthetic non-stick layer to peel or wear away.

• Built for Everyday Cooking: High-heat compatible, metal utensil friendly and made to last.

About Ember Cookware

Founded in 2024, Ember is India’s first 100% non-toxic, non-stick kitchenware brand, created to spearhead the nation’s clean kitchen movement. Built through a strategic partnership with world- leading product design company, Box Clever under their venture arm, Box Garden Ventures, based in California, Ember combines global design excellence with a deep understanding of Indian cooking requirements. From Arcilla ceramic and TitaniumClad cast iron to TitaniumSteel, Ember develops proprietary technologies that make everyday cookware cleaner, more intuitive and built to last. Designed in California and engineered for India, Ember represents the future of clean living.

Marking seven years of its journey of supporting migrant communities, M3M Foundation’s iMpower programme has expanded its community-based support network with the inauguration of two iMpower Multi-Activity Resource Centres (iMpower-MACs) in Lucknow, in collaboration with Bal Raksha Bharat (Save the Children India).

M3M Foundation inaugurates two multi-activity resource centres in Lucknow

The new centres at SBI Colony–Sachivalaya Colony, near Engineering College Chauraha, and Vinayakpuram, Lucknow, were inaugurated by Dr. Aishwarya Mahajan, Managing Trustee and President, M3M Foundation along with Sanjay Sharma, Director – Resource Mobilization & External Engagement, Bal Raksha Bharat. The centres will provide safe and inclusive spaces for children and adolescents, while facilitating access to education, health, nutrition, child protection, social entitlements and other essential services.

The collaboration will take the iMpower-MAC model to eight centres across Gurugram, Chandigarh and Lucknow, strengthening community-based support for migrant workers and their families.

Since its launch in 2019, iMpower has grown from an initiative focused on migrant communities into an integrated support ecosystem. Today, the programme reaches 35+ iMpower Clubs and Resource Centres, connecting more than 5,000+ families, 10,000+ children and 2,500+ women and adolescent girls, while more than 1,000 individuals have been mainstreamed through its interventions. The programme provides support across areas including early childhood care and education, after-school learning, nutrition, digital education and social entitlements.

Dr. Payal Kanodia, Chairperson and Trustee, M3M Foundation, said, “Seven years of iMpower have strengthened our belief that migrant families need an integrated ecosystem of support to build secure and dignified futures. The expansion to Lucknow, in partnership with Bal Raksha Bharat, is a step forward in taking this vision to more communities. Every new centre brings support closer to families and creates greater opportunities for children to learn, grow and thrive.”

The two Lucknow centres will serve communities facing challenges including irregular school attendance, school dropouts, child labour, risks of child marriage and limited access to essential services. The SBI Colony–Sachivalaya Colony centre will serve approximately 350 households and 1,650 community members, including 520 children, while the Vinayakpuram centre will cater to around 200 households and 1,200 community members.

The expansion reinforces iMpower’s growing focus on partnership-led, family-centric and community-based solutions, bringing together expertise and resources to create safer, more inclusive and resilient communities.

With a reach across 22 states and over 1,300 villages, the Foundation has positively impacted more than 5 million lives, driven by a vision of inclusive, sustainable, and transformative nation-building.

Imagine spending 15 years managing a disease that never really lets you rest — pain, infections, and uncertainty becoming the background noise of everyday life. That was the reality for Rajesh (name changed), a man in his late 30s, living with Crohn’s disease since his early twenties. Then came the final blow: his bowel had created an abnormal tunnel into his urinary bladder — a rare complication that left him passing gas and faecal matter through his urine.

Advanced robotic surgery at MITR Hospital offers renewed hope and improved quality of life to a patient living with Crohn’s disease

Today, Rajesh is home and pain-free — able to plan his life without planning around his illness. He is one of a handful of patients in India to have undergone robotic multi-specialty surgery for an ileo-vesical fistula, performed at MITR Hospital, Navi Mumbai by a joint team of urological and gastrointestinal surgeons, entirely through keyhole incisions.

A Case That Would Have Meant Major Open Surgery — Almost Anywhere Else
An ileo-vesical fistula is a rare and serious complication of long-standing Crohn’s disease. Years of chronic inflammation had created so much scarring in Rajesh’s case that conventional laparoscopy risked injuring surrounding organs, while open surgery would have meant a large abdominal cut and a much longer recovery. Using a robotic system with magnified 3D vision and instruments capable of movements the human hand cannot replicate, the team removed the diseased bowel segment, closed the abnormal opening in the bladder, and reconstructed the bladder wall — all through small incisions, in a single operation.

Dr Manish Dubey, Senior Urologist & Robotic Surgeon, MITR Hospital, commented, “This case required close coordination between urology and gastrointestinal surgery, given the severe scarring built up over 15 years of Crohn’s disease. The robotic platform gave us the precision and three-dimensional clarity to dissect safely through tissue that would have been extremely difficult to navigate otherwise. The patient walking out in days rather than weeks is the result we always aim for.”

Dr Vijaykumar Malladi, General & GI Surgeon, MITR Hospital added, “The intestinal component of this surgery — resecting the diseased bowel and restoring continuity — is technically demanding even in routine cases. In a patient with 15 years of Crohn’s-related scarring, the robotic system allowed us to work with a level of precision and safety that would not have been possible through conventional means. This is exactly the kind of case where multi-specialty robotic surgery delivers results that truly change a patient’s life.”

Rajesh (name changed), Patient was thankful and said “For fifteen years, I lived with pain that never really went away — just good days and bad days. Towards the end, even the good days became rare. I’m just grateful to MITR Hospital team for beingable to plan my life again instead of planning around my illness.”

What Robotic Surgery Means for Patients
For most patients, surgery still conjures images of large scars and weeks of recovery. Robotic surgery changes that picture. Working through a few small keyhole openings, the surgeon has magnified 3D vision and instruments far more flexible than the human wrist — meaning less blood loss, less pain, and a dramatically faster return home. Many MITR Hospital patients are walking the same day and discharged the next. In cancer operations such as radical prostatectomy, robotic precision can also protect the delicate nerves that control bladder function — a difference that matters long after the patient goes home.

MITR Hospital: A Centre of Excellence for Robotic Urological Surgery
MITR Hospital has performed over 70 robotic urological and urogynaecological procedures since 2024, across the full spectrum of the specialty — from cancer surgery (radical prostatectomy, partial and radical nephrectomy) to complex reconstruction (pyeloplasty, Boari flap, ureteric reimplantation, augmentation cystoplasty) and urogynaecological procedures (sacrocolpopexy, vesicovaginal fistula repair). That breadth, delivered consistently from a 25-bedded focused surgical centre where every patient has direct access to their treating surgeon, is what defines a true centre of excellence.

Dr Vijaykumar Yadav, Consultant Urologist, MITR Hospital also added, “Robotic surgery has transformed our ability to manage complex cases in a minimally invasive way. Cases that once required large incisions and prolonged hospital stays can now be performed precisely through small ports, with patients recovering at home within days.”

About MITR Hospital
MITR Hospital is a super speciality surgical hospital in Kharghar, Navi Mumbai. Established in 2010, MITR Hospital is led by a team of specialist doctors and surgeons. In the last 16 years, MITR Hospital has served 1.2 lakh patients with more than 20,000 successful surgeries.
