Superdry Sport brought the heat to Phoenix Racquet Club, Palladium, Lower Parel on 9th May for Sip & Serve — a curated padel evening that was equal parts sport, style and social energy. The evening pulled in Mumbai’s fitness, fashion and creator community for a brand experience that was anything but ordinary.

Superdry Sport Takes the Court at Sip & Serve-A Padel Evening with Brand Ambassador Lakshya

At the centre of it all was actor and Superdry Sport brand ambassador Lakshya — on court, in the mix, and very much in his element. He rallied with guests, owned the energy on the padel court, and made the whole evening feel effortlessly cool. With beats setting the mood and bites keeping the crowd fuelled, Sip & Serve was designed to be experienced, not just attended — a living showcase of what Superdry Sport is all about.

Guests also got a first look at Superdry Sport’s new padel-ready collection — a drop that doesn’t ask you to choose between performance and personality. Breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics. Lightweight construction. Movement-friendly fits engineered for agility, comfort and endurance when the game demands everything you’ve got. Built tough, built to last — and designed to transition seamlessly from court to street without missing a beat.

This drop lives inside Superdry Sport’s broader performance universe — a world engineered for intensity. Moisture-control technology, high-durability materials, and construction built to keep pace with high-output play, no compromises. Layered on top is the brand’s signature street energy: a sharp, athletic aesthetic that moves effortlessly between the court and the city. 

Sip & Serve was more than an event — it was a statement. Superdry Sport is showing up at the intersection of performance, style and culture, building community that goes beyond the brand.

FAY Investment Group, a global investment platform focused on the acquisition, management and development of real estate and hospitality assets, has announced the launch of Villa Roma EB-5, a US EB-5 investment opportunity centred on the redevelopment of the historic Villa Roma Resort in Upstate New York. Positioned within a Rural Targeted Employment Area (TEA), the project is being introduced to global investors, including India’s growing pool of outbound investors seeking residency-linked international investment opportunities.

FAY Investment Group introduces Villa Roma EB-5 to Indian investors

Located across a 434-acre campus in the Catskills region, the project combines a reduced 800,000-dollar investment threshold, priority processing eligibility, and a defined hospitality redevelopment strategy within the EB-5 framework.

The redevelopment plan includes a 52.1-million-dollar Property Improvement Programme to be executed over approximately 25 months while maintaining ongoing resort operations. The project aims to reposition the legacy asset into a modern, all-season hospitality destination catering to leisure travellers, events, and group tourism demand.

The redevelopment scope includes the renovation of 139 hotel rooms and 232 managed serviced apartments, alongside the construction of a new conference centre. Expanded food and beverage offerings, upgraded recreational infrastructure, and dedicated employee housing are also planned as part of the broader transformation strategy.

The property benefits from established tourism demand and its proximity to New York City, creating a diversified operating model intended to support year-round occupancy and long-term operational resilience.

From an EB-5 perspective, the project has been structured with a focus on job creation visibility and compliance alignment. Independent economic analysis projects approximately 777 jobs linked to the development, exceeding the estimated 640 jobs required for the planned 51.2-million-dollar EB-5 raise, translating to approximately 12.14 jobs per investor.

The investment structure is based on a preferred equity model, with capital deployed through a New Commercial Enterprise into the project entity. The targeted investment horizon is five years, with a potential one-year extension and multiple potential exit pathways including refinancing, asset sale, or operational cash flow, subject to market conditions.

The company stated that demand from Indian investors for globally diversified, residency-linked investment opportunities continues to grow, particularly in structured real asset categories with operational visibility and defined compliance frameworks. According to the company, Villa Roma EB-5 has been designed to align hospitality asset redevelopment with the structural advantages of a Rural TEA EB-5 project, including lower investment thresholds, projected job creation visibility, priority processing eligibility, and a clearly defined investment framework.

The Rural TEA designation also enables access to current priority processing provisions under the EB-5 programme, an aspect increasingly relevant for Indian investors evaluating global residency-by-investment pathways.

The resort itself brings more than five decades of operating history, supported by a diversified mix of accommodations, food and beverage operations, events, and recreational amenities that contribute to year-round demand.

The project is backed by institutional partners across construction, design, advisory, and fund administration functions to support execution oversight and operational transparency.

Villa Roma EB-5 reflects FAY Investment Group’s broader strategy of identifying underutilised hospitality assets with strong fundamentals and unlocking value through structured capital deployment and active asset management.

Atul Ltd (Atul) introduces three proprietary crop protection products – Mylonis, Salix Gold and Tikadis – to enhance crop productivity and advance sustainable farming practices in India. The newly launched product portfolio comprises a seed treatment solution for oilseeds and soybean, an advanced fungicide formulation for rice and a premium technical-grade herbicide for rice cultivation. These innovations address critical gaps in disease management, pest control and weed management for major crops – factors that directly influence agricultural yields and farmer profitability. 

Atul unveils three novel products developed in-house

Mylonis: comprehensive disease management for rice
Mylonis, a patented fungicide combining Azoxystrobin, Isoprothiolane and Mancozeb, is to tackle the most challenging diseases in rice – sheath blight, blast (including multiple strains), and grain discoloration. Beyond disease suppression, Mylonis strengthens plant health, enhances grain quality and supports resistance management strategies, making it an invaluable choice for rice farmers throughout India.

Salix Gold: precision weed control for rice cultivation
Salix Gold reflects the advanced manufacturing capability of Atul in high-purity technical grade production. This 2,4-D sodium salt–based water-dispersible granules formulation provides post-emergence weed control, effectively targeting broadleaf weeds and sedges in rice production systems across India. While currently focused on domestic markets, the Company is actively exploring commercial opportunities in select international regions.

Tikadis: early-stage protection for legume and oilseed crops
Tikadis, a patented seed treatment formulation, combines Azoxystrobin, Carbendazim and Thiamethoxam to deliver day-one defence against soil-borne pests and pathogens in groundnut and soybean. Field trials demonstrate that Tikadis promotes robust seed germination, strengthens root nodule development for improved plant vigour and ensures uniform pod development.
