Chandigarh University has been holding this event in association with ICCR that promotes India’s global cultural engagement through exchanges, festivals, scholarships for foreign students, showcasing Indian arts while welcoming international cultural delegations.

 

Speaking on the occasion, Satnam Singh Sandhu, Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha) and Chancellor Chandigarh University said, “Chandigarh University has always believed that there is no stronger medium than art to bring nations together, elevate India’s global image and project the nation as a rising world power as art is a universal language understood by all. Art and culture play a pivotal role in connecting India with the world, nurturing a conducive atmosphere for meaningful relationships and strengthen bonds of friendship with nations across the globe. Owing to the visionary efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India has today emerged as a global hub for foreign tourists. Since 2014, the country has witnessed a remarkable surge in tourist arrivals whether it is cultural or heritage, medical or spiritual in recent years. Not only this international students also now view India as an excellent destination for quality education. This is evident from the fact that at present over 3000 foreign students from 65 countries are pursuing their studies at Chandigarh University.”

 

The international festival at CU underlines the university’s commitment to promoting global cultural exchange, preserving traditions and strengthening cultural diplomacy. The spectacular confluence of world cultures highlighted the richness of global heritage, reinforcing multicultural harmony and the spirit of unity beyond borders through the universal language of art,” added MP Sandhu.

 

Dressed in their colourful traditional attires, the troupes of artists showcased the beauty of indigenous music and dance cultures of their respective countries. All the cultural troupes from different nations took part in the procession on the CU campus – celebrating the diverse cultures and unity of diversity.

 

The troupes of artists who delivered spectacular performances during the festival were from Kazakhstan & LGMF group (74 members), Kyrgyzstan (15 members), Malaysia (17 members), Maldives (11 members), Lithuania (8 members), Uzbekistan (9 members) and Burkina Faso (9 members).

 

Apart from that artists from Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sudan, Tanzania, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Lesotho, Myanmar, Yemen, Sri Lanka, Angola, Malawi, Cameroon, Syria, Zimbabwe, South Sudan, Congo, Thailand, Uganda, Mali, Namibia, Kenya, Somalia, Ghana and Madagascar also enthralled one and all with the mesmerizing performances.

 

In the first performance of the day, the 80-member Lakshminarayana Global Music Festival group, presented by Dr L Subramaniam and Kavita Krishnamurty Subramaniam, took the stage featuring the Astana Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra, the Chamber Choir of the Aktobe Regional Philharmonic and the Dance Ensemble ‘Gakku’ from Kazakhstan. The Gakku group, known for their fast-paced performances and traditional ballet style, showcased the history of Kazakhstan, the bravery of its horsemen and the vast open landscapes through their dance.

 

The audience was enthralled by the 15-member Folklore Ensemble ‘Aalam’ and Dance Group ‘Ademi’ from the Osh Regional Philharmonic, Kyrgyz Republic. The word Aalam translates to world or universe in Kyrgyz, symbolizing the ensemble’s mission to represent the rich heritage and traditions of Kyrgyzstan on a global stage. Through their energetic and traditional dance forms, the performers brought to life Kyrgyz folk tales, celebrated the courage of horsemen, and showcased the vibrant cultural tapestry of the country’s nomadic heritage. Their performance was a vivid portrayal of Kyrgyz culture, connecting audiences to the rhythms, stories and spirit of Central Asia.

 

Adding to the international spectacle was a 17-member troupe Sutra Foundation from Malaysia that presented their piece titled ‘Radhe-Radhe: The Sweet Surrender’. This performance drew inspiration from Indian devotional traditions, celebrating the timeless love and devotion associated with Lord Krishna and Radha. The name itself conveys surrender, devotion and harmony, reflecting the ensemble’s mission to connect cultures through music and dance. With graceful choreography and emotive expressions, the team highlighted the universality of Indian art forms, while building a bridge between Malaysian and Indian cultural narratives. The artists from other nations also delivered mesmerizing performances of music and dance from their respective countries.

Kauvery Hospital Alwarpet Performs Rare, High-Risk Vertebral Artery Stenting to Prevent Major Stroke

Kauvery Hospital Alwarpet has successfully performed a rare and technically complex neurovascular procedure to prevent a potentially devastating stroke in a patient with rapidly progressive vertebral artery stenosis, a condition that is distinct from routine stroke interventions and far less commonly encountered.
 

Kauvery Hospital Alwarpet Performs Rare, High-Risk Vertebral Artery Stenting to Prevent Major Stroke

 

The patient,a 42 year old gentleman with a history of diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol, had been asymptomatic until six months ago. While driving from Bengaluru to Chennai, he suddenly experienced difficulty controlling his car steering, noticing that the vehicle was drifting to one side. Recognising the seriousness of the episode, he immediately sought neurological consultation.


A CT angiogram revealed moderate (approximately 60%) narrowing of the left vertebral artery, one of the major arteries supplying blood to the brainstem and posterior parts of the brain. The right vertebral artery was normal. As this was his first episode, he was treated with optimal medical therapy, including dual antiplatelet agents, statins, and strict metabolic control, and was discharged with close follow-up.


However, a few months later, despite strict compliance with medication, the patient experienced a recurrence of symptoms while driving. A repeat CT angiogram showed rapid progression of the narrowing to nearly 95%, placing him at very high risk of a posterior circulation stroke, which can be life-threatening and often disabling. “Although the patient was young and initially stable on medication, the sudden progression of the blockage made intervention essential. Treating it in time ensured complete recovery without neurological damage,”, said Dr Venkatraman Karthikaeyan, Senior Consultant Neurologist, Kauvery Hospital Alwarpet. 


Given the recurrence of symptoms and the unusually rapid progression despite optimal medical therapy, the multidisciplinary team recommended endovascular vertebral artery angioplasty and stenting. Unlike routine stroke procedures, which commonly involve the carotid or intracranial arteries, vertebral artery interventions are infrequently performed and are technically demanding, as the artery supplies critical areas such as the brainstem and cerebellum.


The minimally invasive procedure was successfully performed by the Interventional Radiologist of Kauvery Hospital Alwarpet. Through a tiny puncture in the groin or wrist, a catheter was navigated to the severely narrowed vertebral artery. Balloon angioplasty followed by stent placement was used to completely reopen the artery, restoring normal blood flow to the posterior circulation of the brain.


The patient was monitored in the ICU for 24 hours and shifted to the ward the next day. He was discharged on the third postoperative day. On follow-up, he remained asymptomatic and has returned to normal daily activities without any neurological deficit.


Speaking about the case, Dr. Sathya Narayanan R, Senior Consultant – Interventional Radiology, said, “This was not a routine stroke procedure. Vertebral artery stenosis progressing so rapidly despite optimal medical therapy is uncommon and potentially dangerous. Intervention in this artery requires high technical expertise, as it supplies vital structures of the brain. Endovascular angioplasty and stenting allowed us to restore blood flow safely without open surgery or prolonged hospitalisation.”


Commenting on the hospital’s advanced capabilities, Dr. Aravindan Selvaraj, Co-Founder and Executive Director, Kauvery Group of Hospitals, said,“This case reflects our focus on handling complex, high-risk conditions that go beyond standard stroke care. By combining experienced specialists with advanced minimally invasive technology, we were able to prevent a major posterior circulation stroke and ensure an excellent recovery for the patient.


Vertebral artery angioplasty and stenting is a specialised neurovascular procedure, performed through a tiny puncture without any surgical incision. The successful outcome in this case highlights how rare, high-risk stroke conditions can be treated effectively with minimal pain, no visible scars, and faster recovery.


Kauvery Hospital Alwarpet continues to be a regional referral centre for complex neurovascular and interventional radiology procedures, offering comprehensive stroke prevention and advanced endovascular care under one roof.

 

Moglix Launches Cognilix, an AI-Led Operating System for B2B Commerce; Commits USD 5 Million to AI Products

Moglix has announced the launch of Cognilix, an AI-led Operating System for B2B procurement designed to bring coherence and intelligence to how enterprises buy, manage inventory, collaborate with suppliers, and sell. Alongside the launch, the company announced a planned investment of $5 million to advance AI research and build vertical-specific enterprise products under the Cognilix platform. 

 

Over the last few years, AI has moved from experimentation to expectation. What is changing now is its role, from supporting individual decisions to shaping how work runs, day after day. Having built and scaled complex B2B and supply chain operations, Moglix has seen that lasting impact does not come from intelligence in isolation, but from systems that understand context, constraints, and consequences across the enterprise. 

 

Cognilix emerges from this operating reality. Built on Moglix’s real-world scale of over $40Bn+ in transactions, 45K+ suppliers, 1.2Mn+ SKUs, operations across 80+ countries, and a network of 58+ warehouses, the platform reflects years of working in environments where decisions ripple across procurement, inventory, suppliers, and revenue, and where accuracy and accountability are essential. Cognilix brings these functions together into a single decision layer, connecting data and workflows across procurement, supply chain, and B2B commerce, while working alongside existing ERP systems.

 

The platform enables enterprises to automate and streamline buying through AI-led procurement workflows covering digital catalogues, RFQ comparison, supplier onboarding, compliance, competitive e-auctions, and inventory forecasting informed by historical usage and lead times. It also enables structured B2B selling through digital storefronts and marketplaces with integrated order management, payments, logistics, and real-time inventory visibility. A unified data layer standardizes material master data and delivers clearer insight into spend, supplier performance, and operational opportunities. 

 

Rahul Garg, Founder and CEO, Moglix

 

“Globally, AI is moving from insight to infrastructure. The real question for enterprises is no longer whether to use AI, but how deeply it can be embedded into the way work runs,” said Rahul Garg, Founder and CEO, Moglix. “From an Indian perspective, this shift matters even more. As manufacturing and supply chains scale in complexity, we need systems that are context-aware, accountable, and resilient. Cognilix reflects what we have learned by operating at scale; that intelligence creates value only when it understands real-world constraints and consequences. Our focus is to build enterprise-grade AI from India that stands up to global demands.” 

 

Enterprises using Cognilix are seeing early outcomes such as reductions in procurement cycle times, improved inventory accuracy, higher levels of data standardization, and clearer, real-time visibility across suppliers and orders. 

 

The $5 million investment will be directed toward deepening domain-led AI models, expanding industry-specific capabilities, and strengthening enterprise-grade governance and collaboration across the Cognilix platform, reinforcing Moglix’s long-term commitment to building practical, scalable AI for global enterprise use. 

 

About Cognilix and Moglix

Cognilix is an AI-led operating system for B2B commerce, built on Moglix’s real operating data at scale. The platform draws intelligence from over $40Bn in transactions across 45,000+ suppliers, 1.2 million+ SKUs, and a global footprint spanning 80+ countries and 58+ warehouses database of Moglix, enabling an autonomous, insight-driven enterprise system for procurement and supply chains.

 

Moglix is Asia’s largest B2B commerce company for the manufacturing and industrial sectors, founded in 2015 by Rahul Garg. Valued at ~US$2.6 billion, Moglix serves 1,000+ enterprises and 3,000+ factories globally with integrated procurement, supply chain, technology, and manufacturing solutions.

Ltd. combines global expertise with deep understanding of local construction practices, enabling technically robust systems that integrate seamlessly into our building designs. ​At Signature Global, we believe high-rise living should never compromise safety, comfort, or resilience. This initiative reflects our vision of creating future-ready homes that residents can trust, setting new benchmarks in innovation and quality for India’s urban landscape.”
 

​Commenting on the partnership, Dr. Agostino Marioni, Chairman, CECO Hirun India Pvt. Ltd., said, “We are delighted to partner with Signature Global to deploy advanced vibration-control technology across their high-rise developments. This initiative reflects our shared commitment to engineering excellence and innovation, setting new benchmarks for resilient, future-ready infrastructure in India. We are confident that this collaboration will not only enhance building performance but also redefine high-rise living in urban India by prioritizing safety, comfort, and long-term value for residents.”
 

​By adopting HTMD technology across its high-rise developments, Signature Global is taking a proactive approach to building design, prioritizing resident safety, comfort, and long-term performance from the very outset. This initiative sets a new benchmark for resilient, future-ready high-rise living in India.

Mohit Kamboj Strengthens Leadership Across Multi Sector Enterprises with Focus on Long Term Growth

In India’s fast-evolving business landscape, Mohit Kamboj is strengthening leadership across multiple sectors while maintaining a focus on long-term growth. A millennial by age but seasoned by experience, Kamboj represents a generation of entrepreneurs who have built success through consistency, discipline, and a measured outlook. His professional journey spans over two decades, marked by steady growth across finance, trade, investments, and diversified enterprises.

 

Currently serving as the Group CEO of Aspect Global Ventures, one of India’s fastest-growing conglomerates, Kamboj oversees a wide portfolio that includes bullion, real estate, sports, hospitality, infrastructure, energy, entertainment, and social impact initiatives. His role involves aligning varied business verticals under a unified operating approach, focused on efficiency, scale, and responsible expansion.

 

Unlike many high-growth stories driven by rapid disruption, Kamboj’s entrepreneurial style is rooted in building strong fundamentals. He is known for prioritising operational depth, governance, and team capability before scaling businesses. This approach has helped Aspect Global Ventures expand its footprint steadily, both within India and internationally, with growing presence across Dubai, Singapore, the US, and the UK.

 

Colleagues describe him as deeply involved in execution, with a clear understanding of ground realities across sectors. Whether working with leadership teams or evaluating new opportunities, Kamboj is known for combining commercial prudence with an ability to spot long-term potential. His experience across diverse industries has enabled him to navigate complex market cycles while maintaining stability and focus.


Beyond business, Mohit Kamboj, through his philanthropic efforts under the MKB Foundation, has consistently dedicated his time and resources to causes rooted in human dignity. The Foundation works in areas that often receive limited attention, including transgender inclusion, supporting initiatives that restore dignity, improve access to basic rights, and promote social acceptance. Its work also includes temple restoration and initiatives that ensure dignified last rites for unclaimed bodies, reflecting a strong commitment to compassion, cultural values, and social responsibility.

 

A strong spiritual believer, Kamboj attributes much of his resilience and clarity to inner discipline and faith. This grounding influences his leadership style, measured, calm, and forward-looking, especially in high-pressure environments. He believes that balance is essential for sustained performance, both at an individual and organisational level.

 

An avid traveller, Kamboj draws inspiration from global cultures and business environments. Exposure to international markets has shaped his understanding of cross-border opportunities and helped him build a global perspective on entrepreneurship, leadership, and collaboration.

 

As Indian enterprises increasingly look outward while strengthening domestic foundations, leaders like Mohit Kamboj reflect a quieter, more deliberate path to success. His journey highlights the value of patience, preparation, and purpose, principles that continue to guide his work across businesses and beyond.
