SK Agrofood Tech Pvt. Ltd. Hits Landmark INR 610 Crore Turnover; Leading India’s Packaging Revolution 


The Architecture of Growth
Since our inception in 2012, SK Agrofood Tech Pvt. Ltd. has been on a relentless pursuit of excellence. Our jump to INR 610 Crore is the result of a strategic overhaul in our manufacturing philosophy. By integrating European-standard Hitech machinery and adopting a “Zero-Downtime” production model, we have transformed our Satara facility into a powerhouse of efficiency.


This growth wasn’t accidental; it was driven by a surge in demand for our specialized multi-layer barrier films, which now protect products in millions of households daily.


“Temple-Tech”: Packaging the Sacred
One of our most proud achievements this year is the expansion of our Temple-Tech division. It is a unique honor to be the trusted packaging partner for India’s most revered spiritual institutions, including:

 

  • Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust (Shirdi)

  • Shree Siddhivinayak Ganapati Temple (Mumbai)

  • Mumbadevi Mandir & Vitthal Rukmini Mandir


When it comes to packaging prasad and sacred offerings, there is no room for error. Our “Zero-Contamination” protocols ensure that purity is maintained from our factory floor to the devotee’s hands.


Innovating for a Greener Tomorrow
The packaging industry stands at a crossroads, and SK Agrofood Tech Pvt. Ltd. is choosing the path of sustainability. With a INR 50,000 Crore national market evolving rapidly, we are reinvesting our success into “Green Packaging” initiatives. Our R&D team is currently pioneering:

 

  • Mono-Material Recyclability: Making plastic easier to recycle without compromising on barrier strength.

  • High-Performance Laminates: Reducing material waste while extending the shelf-life of perishable goods.


A Vision for the Future
Our leap to a INR 610 Crore turnover is a testament to the ‘Zero-Contamination’ technology we have championed,” says the 
SK Agrofood Tech Pvt. Ltd. leadership team.

 

We aren’t just manufacturing pouches; we are protecting the integrity of the FMCG, Pharmaceutical, and Agricultural sectors.”


As we look toward the rest of 2026 and beyond, our mission remains clear: to be the backbone of Indian retail packaging, combining the grit of Indian manufacturing with the finesse of global technology.


Why Brands Choose SKAFT

  • Zero-Contamination Guarantee: Essential for food and pharma safety.

  • Advanced Rotogravure Printing: Sharp, vibrant graphics that make products pop on the shelf.

  • End-to-End Solutions: From center-seal pouches to complex three-side seal pharmaceutical foils.


Join us on our journey to the next milestone.

Realistic Realtors Brings Flex Workspace Leaders Together Through Flex Cricket League 2026

Realistic Realtors hosted the Flex Cricket League (FCL) 2026 at Yug Sports, Sector 63A, Gurugram, bringing the flexible workspace ecosystem together. Envisioned as a first-of-its-kind corporate cricket tournament, the event created a setting where industry leaders could step beyond boardrooms and engage in a more organic, collaborative environment.

 

Realistic Realtors Brings Flex Workspace Leaders Together Through Flex Cricket League 2026
 

The league saw participation from some of the most dynamic players in the coworking and managed office space segment, including Akasa Coworking, IncuSpaze, Innov8, Ofis Square, Realistic Realtors, Spring House, and The Office Pass. Each team brought its own perspective to the evolving workspace narrative, making the tournament a unique confluence of ideas, cultures, and competitive spirit.

Structured across knockout rounds, followed by semi-finals and a high-energy finale, the tournament culminated with Ofis Square emerging as the champions, marking a strong finish to a closely contested league.

Mohit Batra, Regional Director, Realistic Realtors, said, “We congratulate Ofis Square on a well-deserved victory. The flexible workspace sector has evolved into a highly collaborative ecosystem, yet most interactions remain confined to formal settings. With the Flex Cricket League, our intent was to create a more intuitive and human layer of engagement, where relationships can develop beyond structured conversations.”

Gaurav Raj Mittal, Co-Founder & CEO Ofis Square added, “Winning the Flex Cricket League 2026 is a proud and memorable moment for our entire team. Beyond the trophy, what stood out was the spirit of collaboration and camaraderie that defined the tournament. Platforms like FCL go beyond competition; they help humanise an industry that often interacts within formal boundaries. It was refreshing to connect with peers in a more relaxed, high-energy setting, and initiatives like these play a meaningful role in strengthening relationships across the flexible workspace ecosystem.”

At its core, the Flex Cricket League reflected a deeper industry reality: while the flexible workspace sector is driven by growth and performance, it is equally shaped by collaboration, trust, and informal networks. FCL created that space where businesses engaged not as competitors, but as a community.

Skyscanner Turns IPL Travel Planning into a National Hotline Moment

  • Over 3000 Fans dial in for IPL‑season travel planning tips voiced by Suryakumar ‘SKY’ Yadav

  • 35% callers were keen to learn tips from SKY about last minute travel planning, while 1 in 7 callers tried a vibe check with SKY

  • Under eight days, the campaign has already crossed 21 million in reach through outdoor and social platforms, and continues to gain traction

 

Skyscanner, leading global travel app extended cricket fandom beyond stadium stands and into the travel choices fans make around IPL fixtures with ‘Hotline to SKY,’ a first‑of‑its‑kind travel helpline featuring pre‑recorded tips voiced by cricketer and brand ambassador Suryakumar ‘SKY’ Yadav. Designed to help fans navigate match‑day travel during the ongoing IPL season, the hotline invited callers to access quick, practical guidance on planning their journeys. 

 

In just eight days, the activation logged over 3,000 calls, underlining how live sport is increasingly shaping domestic travel decisions. By blending cricket culture with everyday travel dilemmas, the hotline delivered concise advice on flying smarter, staying flexible and finding better value as fixtures unfold across India.

 

SKY‑led social reels extended the hotline’s impact, translating match‑day curiosity into practical travel considerations for fans.


What cricket fans were calling about

Call data highlights how closely fans are thinking about travel alongside the tournament:

 

  • 35% of callers tuned in specifically for last‑minute travel planning tips, navigating sudden schedule changes and high‑demand routes

  • 31% of callers were interested to learn about longer itinerary planning and budget friendly ways to travel

  • Nearly 1 in 7 callers dialed in for a quick “vibe check” with SKY, adding a personal, mood‑driven layer to the experience

 

Beyond the hotline, the campaign reached nearly 20 million people via outdoor billboards across Delhi and Mumbai, and over 1 million through social engagements across channels.

 

What Fans Discovered on the Hotline

As IPL 2026 runs from 28 March to 31 May, bringing new venues, packed weekends and shifting fixtures, fans tapped into the hotline to simplify common match‑day travel challenges, including:

 

A new gateway into Mumbai’s match action

With Navi Mumbai International Airport opening ahead of this season, SKY pointed fans to Skyscanner’s Nearby Airports feature, helping them spot alternate routes into host cities. Skyscanner search data shows a 10x month‑on‑month spike in searches for Navi Mumbai International Airport over the 10–12 April match weekend, underlining growing awareness and intent.

 

Following the tournament, not just one team 

For fans undecided on which matches to attend, the hotline spotlighted Skyscanner’s Explore Everywhere feature, enabling open‑ended discovery of where the best‑value matches are taking place. From high‑altitude fixtures in Dharamshala to classic rivalries at Eden Gardens, the feature encourages fans to build travel plans around experiences, not just locations.

 

Staying flexible when fixtures move

Recent schedule changes, such as the Gujarat Titans vs Chennai Super Kings match shifting from Ahmedabad to Chennai on 26 April, highlighted how dynamic the IPL calendar can be. SKY guided callers through Skyscanner’s Flexible Dates feature, helping them identify cost‑effective travel windows even when plans change late.

 

Tracking fares before the big games sell out

Ahead of blockbuster clashes like MI vs CSK on 23 April and its reverse fixture on 2 May, fans were encouraged to set up Price Alerts, allowing them to monitor fare movements and book at the right moment, before both flights and seats fill up.

 

Additionally, fans didn’t just call for logistics, many stayed on to hear SKY’s personal reflections on match‑day energy, pressure and preparation, making the experience feel as entertaining as it was useful. When asked about his favourite travel memory, SKY said “My favourite memories are when you see fans coming from another city, wearing their team’s jersey, full of belief. As a player, that energy hits different. That’s when you realise cricket is more than a game — it’s pure emotion.

 

Cricket Travel Demand Accelerates

Skyscanner data indicates that interest in IPL‑linked travel continues to build across key host cities as marquee fixtures approach. Commenting on the campaign’s success, Neel Ghose, Skyscanner Travel Trends and Destinations Expert, said, “With cricket‑led travel now firmly established, we wanted to focus on making the planning itself simpler and smarter. By bringing Skyscanner’s tools — like Nearby Airports and Explore Everywhere — into an easy, conversational format through SKY, we’ve helped fans move quickly from curiosity to action. The response shows that people aren’t just asking ‘Should I go?’ but ‘How do I make this trip work?’ — and that’s exactly the gap this campaign set out to address.

 

Designed as a quick, intuitive experience, the hotline followed a familiar behaviour: reaching for the phone when you need fast answers. Strong call‑completion rates across the activation further reflected how relevant the content felt during peak match weeks.

 

With key fixtures still ahead, Skyscanner expects momentum around match‑related travel to continue building through the remainder of the IPL season, as fans look for flexible, value‑driven ways to follow the action.

Nykaa Marks Earth Day with 'Recycle and Rewards' Programme, Reinforcing its Commitment To Sustainability in Beauty

Every beauty ritual begins with a choice, and over time, those choices shape not just how we look, but the world we live in. As Nykaa, India’s leading beauty and lifestyle company, celebrates 14 years of redefining beauty in India, it is turning its focus to what comes after the last drop, the empty bottle, the finished jar, and the packaging we often overlook.

 

Nykaa’s Recycle and Rewards Program


This Earth Day, Nykaa introducesRecycle and Rewards’, a programme designed to bring responsibility into the heart of everyday beauty, and move meaningfully towards a more conscious beauty economy. Launching across 14 select stores, in line with Nykaa’s 14th birthday, the initiative invites customers to return their empty, used beauty packaging and take a small but powerful step towards a more conscious routine. This initiative will be rolled out across Nykaa stores in India in a phased manner. 


Starting across key markets including Mumbai, Delhi, Gurgaon, Bangalore, and Kolkata, the programme will be available at select stores such as Palladium, Linking Road, Mumbai Mall of India, Noida, DLF Avenue Mall Saket, Delhi and 100 ft Road, Bangalore. At each participating store, a dedicated recycling bin will serve as a simple starting point, making it easier for customers to integrate responsible disposal into their beauty journeys.


The process is designed to be seamless. Customers can clean their beauty empties at home, bring them to a participating Nykaa store, and drop them into the recycling bin. As an immediate benefit, they receive Rs 100 off on same-day in-store billing, along with 1,000 reward points per empty credited to their Nykaa account, capped at a maximum of 10,000 reward points per visit. These rewards are redeemable both online and in-store, reinforcing the idea that doing good should feel just as rewarding. 


Open to all beauty and personal care packaging with no minimum threshold, the programme is designed to encourage consistent participation rather than one-time action. As an always-on initiative, it aims to build long-term habits, where small individual actions, like dropping off an empty, can collectively drive meaningful environmental impact.

 

Nykaa’s Recycle and Rewards Program


Behind the scenes, all collected waste will be routed through Nykaa’s existing network and processed in line with its waste management practices, working with authorised recyclers to ensure responsible handling and recycling of materials. This structured approach ensures that what is collected does not end up in landfills, but is channelled back into the recycling ecosystem.


‘Recycle and Rewards’ is a natural extension of Nykaa’s broader vision of sustainable beauty. Over the years, the company has evolved to become a holistic lifestyle partner, increasingly aligning with the expectations of a new generation of consumers who value responsibility as much as aspiration. From curating brands that prioritise cleaner formulations and thoughtful packaging, to strengthening its own House of Nykaa portfolio and supply chain practices with a more conscious lens, each step reflects a larger commitment to building a responsible beauty ecosystem.


Anchit Nayar, Executive Director and CEO, Nykaa Beauty, said, “Over the past 14 years, Nykaa has been built on the belief that beauty can inspire confidence, but it must also be responsible. With ‘Recycle and Rewards’, we are taking a step towards making sustainability more accessible and actionable for our consumers, integrating it seamlessly into their everyday beauty journeys. As consumption grows, so does our collective responsibility, and this initiative is designed to encourage mindful choices while rewarding positive behaviour. This is not a standalone effort, but a continuation of Nykaa’s long-term commitment to building a more sustainable beauty ecosystem.”


As Nykaa steps into its next chapter, ‘Recycle and Rewards’ is a reminder that the future of beauty will be defined not just by innovation or aspiration, but by the habits we build, the communities we shape, and the responsibility we choose to take.


Building a More Conscious Beauty Ecosystem
Sustainability has always been at the core of Nykaa’s journey. Through its Nykaa 10×10 initiatives: Sustainability at the Core of Operations, this vision comes to life across everyday decisions, quietly reshaping how beauty is experienced, delivered, and consumed.


It shows up in the smallest details and the largest systems. A shift to zero-paper order processing. Nearly every order, 96% in FY25, reaching customers in more sustainable packaging. Behind the scenes, materials are not discarded but reimagined 160 MT of plastic and 2,003 MT of carton waste recycled.


Across the ecosystem, this thinking travels further. At Superstore by Nykaa, 1.5 million brand boxes found a second life in FY 25. Within House of Nykaa warehouses, every corrugated box was reused, turning routine operations into powerful acts of reduction and reuse.
But this is not just about operations. It is about enabling a shift in mindset. A growing portfolio of clean, cruelty-free, and conscious beauty invites consumers to participate in this journey, making choices that are as responsible as they are aspirational.


From warehouses to retail floors, these interconnected efforts are shaping a future where beauty and responsibility move together. And as Nykaa continues to innovate, partner, and engage more deeply, it is building towards a more circular, conscious ecosystem, one where every choice, big or small, adds up to something larger.

Reimagining Smart Access Tech: Panasonic Selects ANACITY to Co-Create Next-Gen Residential Living Solutions

In a significant move towards advancing smart community living and security solutions within India’s real estate ecosystem, ANACITY, an integral part of the ANAROCK Group and one of India’s leading enterprise technology platforms for residential and workplace community management, was selected by Panasonic Corporation Electric Works Company, Japan, as its preferred partner in India for co-creating next-gen smart home, security, and community solutions at its recently concluded annual flagship accelerator program in Tokyo. The accelerator program ran from November ‘25 to March ’26.

ANACITY was recognised as the highest-rated tech platform globally amongst the final cohort at the accelerator program. As a leading provider of real estate enterprise technology in India and the Middle East, ANACITY was selected on the strength of its developer client portfolio, which includes leading residential players such as DLF, Signature Global, Emaar India, Mahindra Lifespaces, Puravankara, Gera, Birla Estates and more, as well as major commercial asset owners like Blackstone–KRT REIT, Brigade, Embassy, Solitaire, etc. 


This extensive portfolio presents a significant market opportunity for Panasonic, offering direct access to large, established developments where engagement can be streamlined through the developer, enabling faster and more efficient deployment without the need to navigate multiple stakeholders. The selection process followed a rigorous evaluation that included vetting the various innovations with several developers across India. 


Commenting on the collaboration, Shajai Jacob, MD & CEO, ANACITY, said, “The collaboration with Panasonic is a strong endorsement of ANACITY’s vision to redefine community living through technology as well as our distribution reach and access with large Grade A developers across India and Middle East. Being chosen from a global pool of innovators reflects the strength of our tech platform, our focus on user experience, and our commitment to building secure and innovative ecosystems. We are reimagining how communities interact with technology – making it more seamless, intuitive, and impactful.”

Otaki Kiyoshi, President, Electric Works Company, Panasonic Corporation, said “As this program enters its fifth year, we are very pleased that it is gaining recognition both inside and outside the company. We aim to build a co-creation consortium and further integrate three functions: creating new value and solutions, testing hypotheses from a customer perspective, and building a co-creation platform. By combining the proactive challenges of our employees with the power of startups, we will connect these initiatives to social implementation and support the creation of new businesses as a company, so that we can contribute to society.”


This first-of-its-kind collaboration will integrate Panasonic’s home IoT hardware suite – including video door phones, CCTV systems, lobby station monitors, and smart locks – directly into ANACITY’s mobile-first ecosystem, enabling real-time visitor visibility, camera view at the gate and main doors, remote access management, and seamless control across all entry points from user mobiles. 


The co-creation model will enable more secure, responsive, and integrated living for over 100 enterprise real estate developers, 750,000 households, as well as enhance workplace experiences across 150 million sq.ft. of office space for ANACITY’s enterprise clients in India and globally. Unlike conventional accelerator programs, this initiative is designed as a market-moving co-creation engagement, bringing together Panasonic’s hardware capabilities, ANACITY’s real estate distribution reach of developers and its digital platform to build scalable, real-world solutions. As part of the broader roadmap, the partnership is expected to expand into Panasonic’s wellness and sustainability offerings, including HVAC systems, environmental sensors, indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring and energy management solutions such as solar and EV infrastructure.


This collaboration reflects strong strategic alignment between the two organisations. ANACITY’s enterprise distribution reach across large developers and innovative tech platform serves as a digital backbone for communities, connecting workplace tenants, residents, developers, asset managers, and operations through a unified interface, while Panasonic’s ecosystem represents the physical infrastructure layer.


With strong and growing presence across India and the Middle East, ANACITY is purpose-built for modern residential living – and the partnership with Panasonic represents a natural expansion of IoT-enabled community operations within that ecosystem.

Crompton Launches Ameo Pro 5.5L Air Fryer with Even Heating Technology for Consistent Cooking

The promise of healthier, oil-free cooking has made air fryers a kitchen essential, yet achieving evenly cooked, consistent results often continues to remain a challenge. Recognising this gap, Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd., India’s trusted name in home innovation, introduces the Ameo Pro 5.5L Air Fryer, designed to deliver a more consistent and reliable cooking experience for modern kitchens.
 

Crompton Ameo Pro Air Fryer
 

Air fryers have steadily found their way into Indian kitchens as a smarter, healthier alternative to traditional cooking but the experience hasn’t always matched the expectation. Uneven cooking remains the most common frustration, with users having to repeatedly pause mid-cook to check and rearrange food just to get consistent results. Add to that the noise during operation and the effort of cleaning up afterwards, and the convenience air fryers promise doesn’t always come through in practice.

 

The Ameo Pro 5.5L is built to change that. At its heart is Crompton’s Pro Heating Bowl – a uniquely designed structure with louvre-based airflow that enables optimised 360-degree heat circulation, ensuring food cooks evenly from all sides without the need for manual intervention. This not only enhances consistency but also reduces cooking time by up to 30%, while features such as low-noise operation and easy-to-clean components further simplify everyday use.

 

Key Features of the Crompton Ameo Pro 5.5L Air Fryer

The Ameo Pro 5.5L comes equipped with thoughtfully designed features that support a more convenient and consistent cooking experience:

  • Even Heating with Pro Heating Bowl (Up to 30% Faster Cooking): A uniquely designed bowl structure enables optimised airflow for uniform heat distribution, ensuring consistent cooking results without the need to rearrange food

  • Nutriguard Technology: Designed to support better nutrient retention while enabling low-oil cooking for everyday meals

  • SilentPro Technology: Enables quieter operation at under 52 dB, making it suitable for use at any time of the day

  • Instapeek Window with Integrated Lamp: Allows users to monitor the cooking process in real time without opening the appliance, helping maintain consistent results

  • Easy Cleaning: Dishwasher-safe basket and tray enable hassle-free maintenance

  • 11 Pre-Set Menus with Interactive Display: Offers ease of use through intuitive controls and preset cooking options

 

Speaking about the new launch, Ketan Chaudhari, Head – Small Domestic Appliances, Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd., said, “Air fryers have seen tremendous adoption in Indian homes over the past few years, but the category has largely moved on volume rather than solving the core experience gaps. At Crompton, we felt it was time to go deeper. The Ameo Pro isn’t just another air fryer — it’s our answer to what consumers have actually been asking for: food that cooks right the first time, without the constant monitoring. The Pro Heating Bowl is the result of that thinking. Beyond performance, we’ve also been deliberate about the details that matter in daily use — the noise levels, the cleaning, the ease of operation. These may seem like smaller considerations, but they’re what determine whether a product actually stays on the kitchen counter or gets pushed to the back of a cabinet. We’re confident the Ameo Pro earns its place.”

 

The Crompton Ameo Pro 5.5L Air Fryer will be available at all major retail outlets (MOR/GT). Designed for busy families and working professionals aged 25–40 who prioritise health, convenience, and consistent results, the appliance brings together efficient performance, ease of use, and dependable cooking, making it a valuable addition to modern kitchens.

 

About Crompton

Over the years, the organization has continuously strived to produce a range of innovative products that cater to the modern consumer including superior quality and high-performance fans, pumps, lighting solutions, and a range of other categories like water heaters; air coolers; small kitchen appliances like mixer grinders, air fryers, OTG, electric kettles etc; other home appliances like irons & built-in kitchen appliances. The company has further invested in brand and innovation to not only better understand and meet consumer needs but to also help drive energy efficiency.

Beyond its consumer portfolio, Crompton also has a robust B2B presence in the Lighting segment, delivering advanced and energy-efficient solutions for commercial and industrial applications.

Strengthening its foothold in the renewable energy space, the company has forayed into solar rooftops—representing a significant step forward in its contribution to India’s evolving clean energy landscape. With solar solutions spanning lighting, pumps, and rooftops, Crompton continues to lead as a responsible and future-ready brand in sustainable energy.

 

The company’s consistent dedication to developing energy-efficient products has led to significant recognition.

Droupadi Murmu for the company’s storage water heater in 2023. In 2019, the brand won in two categories: Ceiling Fans and LED Bulbs.

63SATS Cybertech unveils CYBX Version 2 to empower NextGen digital safety

Amid the fast-evolving and forever-expanding world of cyber risks in every walk of life, 63SATS Cybertech, a subsidiary of 63 moons technologies, has broadened the cybersecurity landscape with the introduction of superapp CYBX Version 2 that upgrades mobile safety by moving beyond traditional protection toward a more intelligent and intuitive cyber shield, building upon its established people-first approach.

 

CYBX Version 2, a sophisticated superapp, is designed to combat evolving digital frauds and secure India’s digital ecosystem

 

Further, CYBX Version 2 sets a new benchmark in communication privacy by expanding its secure calling feature to support up to 50 participants, in addition to real-time blocking of phishing links, malicious apps, and unsafe public Wi-Fi.

 

Designed for high-stakes privacy, the secure calling feature is ideal for confidential business strategy discussions or sensitive personal chats, as it offers end-to-end encryption, prevents third-party call recording, and notifies you if the recipient puts the call on speakerphone.

 

Rolling out the upgraded CYBX V2 for consumers, Srinivas L, Joint Managing Director and Joint Chief Executive Officer, 63SATS Cybertech, said, “For many, one incident is enough to realise how vulnerable our everyday digital interactions can be. CYBX steps in as a trusted companion, helping users not only protect themselves but also rebuild confidence in their online engagement. With the launch of CYBX Version 2, we have taken this commitment a step further. From secure group calling to gamified elements that encourage better cyber habits, CYBX Version 2 empowers users to take control of their digital safety more smartly.

 

To make security proactive rather than reactive, CYBX V2 introduces a gamified user experience. The CYBX security score is a dynamic rating (out of 100) that acts like a “credit score” for digital hygiene. A higher score reflects device integrity and cyber-safe user behaviour rather than the probability of hacking.

 

Besides, the upgraded version also offers smart nudges and badges, providing real-time prompts and rewards that encourage safer digital habits, such as verifying unknown QR codes and ensuring regular software updates.

 

The Mumbai-based Cybersecurity major CYBX Version 2 also enables simplified navigation that scans and secures the device in just 1-2 taps. Complex threats are explained in non-technical language. For example, a dangerous hyperlink would simply be described as an “Unsafe link” for the user instead of the more complicated “Malicious URL found”.

 

Further, to broaden the reach of cyber protection and ensure inclusivity across India’s digital ecosystem, CYBX V2 now includes Hindi language support. With this, the app breaks down barriers for non-English speakers, making high-level security accessible to a wider audience.

 

CYBX V2 retains its robust foundation of defending against around 100 cyber threat vectors. It continues to include the virtual ‘Sound Box’ which offers a “listen before you pay” feature while scanning QR payment codes to tackle UPI scams (like countering fake QR overlays by reading the payee’s name and, where included, amount details).

 

An industry-first integration offering financial protection of up to Rs. 10 lakh against cyber fraud remains the cornerstone of CYBX Version 2, depending upon the plan taken.

 

Powered by STQC-certified mobile threat detection technology (with more globally recognised certifications on the way), Srinivas points out, CYBX V2 ensures that as cyber threats evolve, users remain protected through a solution that is as simple as it is sophisticated.

 

The landscape of cybercrimes has undergone significant change in the ever-growing digital world. Our focus has always been to create a solution that understands user behaviour, guides it, and ultimately makes cybersecurity a seamless part of everyday life.

Parimatch Launches 'Every Monday Is a Hunt,' A New Weekly Quest Initiative

Parimatch has introduced The Great Ball Hunt, a new weekly engagement format integrated with the Indian T20 League, an interactive quest with rewards and prizes that every participant can receive. The brand engages fans in an exciting search for cricket balls under the slogan: “SPOT THE BALL — WIN IT ALL!”

 

Parimatch Launches a Weekly Quest with Big Rewards


During the last five weeks of the Indian T20 League, every Monday, Parimatch opens a one-day gaming window. The platform literally “comes alive”: cricket balls appear in different sections and put users into search mode. They are not in plain sight — they need to be noticed during regular platform use.


The search turns into a real hunt: you move across sections, unexpectedly find the first ball, then the next and each one builds progress and brings you closer to rewards for the most active and attentive participants.

 

How to take part in Golden Hunt
Participation is simple — you enter on launch day and are instantly inside the game, with no separate modes or extra steps. You use the platform as usual, spotting and collecting cricket balls along the way.


Each ball you find is added to your total. Red balls unlock guaranteed rewards, while special golden balls give access to bigger prize opportunities.


Some balls are linked to featured games — when you tap on them, you’re taken to a dedicated mini-game, where you can receive a bonus before continuing to the full game experience.


Every Monday, the hunt resets with a new drop — ball locations change, progress starts fresh, and you get a new chance to play and win.

 

The More You Find, The More You Win
The more cricket balls you collect, the greater your rewards.


Collecting red balls guarantees instant prizes for everyone:

 

  • 5 balls — 100 IPL Diamonds

  • 10 balls — 250 IPL Diamonds


Players who go further and collect 10 red balls plus 2 golden balls unlock access to a weekly prize draw. Each week, 10 winners are selected at random to share a total prize pool of Rs. 10 lakh. Winnings are credited directly to user accounts every Tuesday.


Parimatch continues to create engaging experiences that make the Indian T20 League more interactive and immersive. Try The Great Ball Hunt every Monday during the season and step into a fast-paced interactive cricket experience where every ball you find brings you closer to rewards. Dive into a quest filled with guaranteed prizes, weekly draws, and exclusive bonus drops throughout the event.
