अंतरराष्ट्रीय प्रसिद्ध ट्रेडिंग रणनीति कंपनी THPX ने भारतीय बाजार में औपचारिक प्रवेश की घोषणा की

अंतरराष्ट्रीय प्रसिद्ध ट्रेडिंग रणनीति कंपनी THPX ने भारतीय बाजार में औपचारिक प्रवेश की घोषणा की

अंतरराष्ट्रीय स्तर पर प्रसिद्ध क्वांटिटेटिव ट्रेडिंग रणनीति कंपनी THPX ने हाल ही में भारतीय बाजार में औपचारिक रूप से प्रवेश करने की घोषणा की है। यह कदम वैश्विक फिनटेक क्षेत्र में कंपनी के विस्तार की दिशा में एक महत्वपूर्ण उपलब्धि माना जा रहा है। परिपक्व एल्गोरिदमिक मॉडल और सुव्यवस्थित जोखिम प्रबंधन प्रणाली के आधार पर, THPX ने कई अंतरराष्ट्रीय बाजारों में स्थिर प्रदर्शन स्थापित किया है और Myfxbook तथा Metaquotes जैसे तृतीय-पक्ष सत्यापन प्लेटफार्मों पर लगातार सत्यापित रणनीति डेटा प्रस्तुत किया है, जिससे उसे पेशेवर ट्रेडरों के बीच व्यापक पहचान मिली है।

पिछले दो वर्षों में, THPX ने इज़राइल, कनाडा, इंडोनेशिया, मलेशिया, संयुक्त अरब अमीरात, वियतनाम और ऑस्ट्रेलिया सहित कई देशों और क्षेत्रों के ग्राहकों को क्वांटिटेटिव रणनीति सेवाएं प्रदान की हैं, जिनमें भारतीय उपयोगकर्ताओं की संख्या में उल्लेखनीय वृद्धि देखी गई है। सटीक क्वांटिटेटिव ढांचे और रियल-टाइम सिग्नल सिस्टम के माध्यम से, THPX की रणनीतियों ने बिटकॉइन, सोना तथा प्रमुख विदेशी मुद्रा जोड़ों जैसे विभिन्न परिसंपत्ति वर्गों में अपेक्षाकृत स्थिर प्रदर्शन दिखाया है, जिससे उच्च अस्थिरता वाले बाजार वातावरण में ट्रेडरों की रणनीति निष्पादन क्षमता में सुधार हुआ है।

THPX के प्रबंधन दल के अनुसार, भारत को एक प्रमुख विस्तार बाजार के रूप में चुनने का निर्णय स्थानीय ट्रेडिंग वातावरण और निवेशक संरचना के दीर्घकालिक अध्ययन पर आधारित है। हाल के वर्षों में भारत में वित्तीय बाजारों में भागीदारी लगातार बढ़ी है, जहां युवा और तकनीक-उन्मुख निवेशकों की संख्या तेजी से बढ़ रही है। साथ ही, स्वचालित ट्रेडिंग, डेटा पारदर्शिता और रणनीति की पुनरावृत्ति क्षमता को लेकर बाजार की मांग भी निरंतर बढ़ रही है, जो THPX की रणनीतिक अवधारणा के साथ अत्यंत अनुकूल है।

प्रारंभिक चरण की बाजार योजना के तहत, THPX भारतीय निवेशकों के लिए अपनी प्रमुख क्वांटिटेटिव रणनीति उत्पादों को प्रस्तुत करेगा, जिनमें स्वचालित ट्रेडिंग सिग्नल सेवाएं और रणनीति कॉपी समाधान शामिल हैं। इन उत्पादों के साथ स्पष्ट ऐतिहासिक डेटा प्रदर्शन और जोखिम पैरामीटर विवरण भी प्रदान किए जाएंगे। इसके अतिरिक्त, THPX स्थानीय ट्रेडिंग समुदायों, फिनटेक प्लेटफार्मों और शैक्षिक संस्थानों के साथ सहयोग स्थापित करने की योजना बना रहा है, ताकि उपयोगकर्ताओं को क्वांटिटेटिव रणनीतियों के अनुप्रयोग और जोखिम प्रबंधन को अधिक व्यवस्थित रूप से समझने में सहायता मिल सके।

THPX के वैश्विक बाजार प्रमुख ने कहा,
“भारत विशाल उपयोगकर्ता आधार और तेज़ी से बढ़ती फिनटेक मांग के साथ वर्तमान वैश्विक बाजारों में सबसे अधिक संभावनाओं वाले क्षेत्रों में से एक है। हम दीर्घकालिक रूप से स्थिर और सत्यापित रणनीति प्रदर्शन के माध्यम से भारतीय ट्रेडरों को अधिक पेशेवर और विश्वसनीय क्वांटिटेटिव ट्रेडिंग विकल्प प्रदान करना चाहते हैं।”

आगामी चरण में, THPX भारत को एक महत्वपूर्ण रणनीतिक केंद्र के रूप में स्थापित करते हुए एशिया-प्रशांत और मध्य पूर्व क्षेत्रों में अपने व्यवसाय विस्तार को आगे बढ़ाएगा तथा अंतर-क्षेत्रीय सहयोग नेटवर्क का निर्माण कर वैश्विक क्वांटिटेटिव ट्रेडिंग रणनीति क्षेत्र में अपनी ब्रांड उपस्थिति को और मजबूत करेगा।

Huma Qureshi Captures the Cultural Soul of Germany for GlobalSpa Magazine in Collaboration with German National Tourist Office India

Munich [Germany], December 30: This festive season, GlobalSpa Magazine, India’s leading luxury wellness, travel, and lifestyle publication, in collaboration with the German National Tourist Office India, unveils an evocative international cover shoot featuring acclaimed Bollywood actor Huma Qureshi, set against the enchanting winter landscapes of Munich, Germany.

Shot as part of Germany’s global “CultureLand Germany” campaign, the editorial celebrates the country’s rich cultural heritage, architectural grandeur, and timeless festive traditions–spotlighting Germany as an increasingly preferred destination for Indian celebrities, creatives, and global travelers alike.

The shoot unfolded across some of Munich’s most iconic cultural landmarks, beautifully brought alive during the Christmas season. Huma Qureshi was photographed at the charming Victorian Market, adorned with festive decor and seasonal cheer, the majestic Cathedral, glowing with gothic elegance and Christmas warmth, and the world-famous Rathaus at Marienplatz, a historic symbol of Munich’s cultural legacy. Adding dramatic architectural depth to the narrative was the Justizpalast, Munich’s striking neo-baroque landmark, lending a regal and cinematic edge to the editorial.

Speaking about her experience in Germany, Huma Qureshi shared,

“The people here are very sweet and warm, and I loved exploring the different kinds of cuisine.” Recalling her most memorable moment, she added, “The Cathedral is incredibly beautiful and gothic and has just the right amount of Christmas cheer.”

When asked what she would carry back from Germany, she smiled, “I want to take all the German pastries!”

Describing the country’s cultural vibe in three words, Huma summed it up as:

“Festive, joyous, and warm.”

Commenting on the collaboration, Romit Theophilus, Director – Sales and Marketing, German National Tourist Office India, said: “We are thrilled to see Germany’s rich culture and festive spirit beautifully showcased in our CultureLand campaign for 2025. Munich, with its stunning architecture, historic landmarks, and a warm, inviting atmosphere, provides the perfect backdrop to celebrate the magic of the holiday season. We are especially delighted that Bollywood celebrity Huma Qureshi had the opportunity to experience the warmth of our traditions–whether it’s the charming Christmas markets or the grandeur of our iconic cathedrals and landmarks. This campaign not only highlights Germany as a premier cultural destination but also invites travelers to immerse themselves in the timeless beauty and unique festive experiences we offer. We are eager to welcome more visitors to Germany, where history, culture, and hospitality blend seamlessly to create unforgettable memories.”

This joint collaboration between German National Tourist Office India and GlobalSpa Magazine reinforces Germany’s positioning as a global cultural hub–where heritage, modernity, and festive traditions converge effortlessly. With Indian celebrities increasingly choosing Germany for film shoots, fashion editorials, and leisure travel, the campaign underscores the destination’s growing appeal within India’s luxury and creative communities.

With Huma Qureshi gracing the print cover, this immersive international feature marks yet another milestone for GlobalSpa Magazine as it continues to shape global conversations around culture, wellness, luxury travel, and experiential storytelling, while spotlighting Germany as a must-visit CultureLand destination for discerning Indian travelers.

Strategic in the Boardroom, Unerring on the Range — Kunal Seth Continues to Set the Benchmark

Strategic in the Boardroom, Unerring on the Range — Kunal Seth Continues to Set the Benchmark

Lucknow — the City of Nawabs — felt a quiet but unmistakable swell of pride this week as Mr. Kunal Seth, Director of the Shalimar Group, earned the prestigious Renowned Shooter of India recognition at the 68th National Shotgun Shooting Championship 2025.

Held at the Dr. Karni Singh Shooting Range in New Delhi, the championship brought together the country’s finest marksmen — and yet, amidst them all, his performance carved out a distinct space of its own. It is remarkable how a city instinctively rises in admiration when one of its own achieves excellence at a national stage.

What set his achievement apart was not just the title, but the authority with which he earned it. Against the qualification benchmark of 90/125, he delivered a commanding 97, with round scores of 21, 20, 16, 20, and 20. Anyone familiar with the tension inside a shooting range knows how a single moment can shift everything. Yet, he maintained composure and rhythm round after round, switching effortlessly between the intensity of competition and the razor-sharp focus required to perform at the highest level. It was as if he had mastered the rare ability to move between two worlds — the world of decisive boardroom leadership and the world of precision sport — with equal finesse.

Balancing the demands of steering a major business conglomerate while excelling in a fiercely competitive sport is a feat very few can claim. When someone achieves both with such unshakeable discipline and quiet confidence, admiration follows naturally. To many younger shooters watching him, he wasn’t just a participant — he was an example of what ambition paired with dedication can look like.

At the range, his score above 90 didn’t go unnoticed. Several senior figures in the shooting fraternity remarked upon it, and young aspirants paused to watch his rounds closely. Conversations shifted from his performance to the larger question of how he manages to command excellence in both business and sport. It made many rethink the very meaning of a balanced, purpose-driven life.

Reflecting on the recognition, Mr. Kunal Seth said, “I extend my sincere gratitude to all well-wishers. Despite the rigorous demands of business, I am honored to have attained the milestone of being recognized as a Renowned Shooter of India. After this success, I am now aspiring to represent India in international competitions and I will keep working diligently toward that goal.”

His words carried the clarity of a man who has already scaled one summit and is now preparing, with characteristic determination, to climb the next.

Youth performers representing different states and regions mesmerised audiences with folk dances, music, theatre and contemporary art forms. These performances not only highlighted talent but also strengthened the spirit of “Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat”, fostering mutual respect and cultural understanding among participants.

Yuva Sangam 2025

Promoting Fitness and Healthy Lifestyles

One of the core objectives of Yuva Sangam 2025 was to instil the importance of fitness and healthy living among young citizens. In an era increasingly dominated by sedentary lifestyles and digital dependency, the event emphasised the need for regular physical activity, sportsmanship and mental well-being.

Interactive fitness sessions, yoga workshops and talks by sports professionals motivated youth to adopt healthier routines. Experts highlighted how physical fitness directly contributes to confidence, productivity and long-term success. The overwhelming participation reflected a growing awareness among youth about health as a foundation for personal and professional excellence.

Youth Motivation and Leadership Development

Beyond competitions and performances, Yuva Sangam 2025 served as a powerful source of motivation and inspiration. Motivational sessions, panel discussions and informal interactions enabled young participants to engage with achievers from sports, arts, social service and public life. These interactions encouraged youth to dream big, set clear goals and contribute positively to society.

Speakers emphasised that today’s youth are not just future leaders but current change-makers. The event reinforced values of discipline, perseverance, innovation and social responsibility, urging participants to channel their energy into constructive nation-building efforts.

Strengthening Social and Cultural Harmony

A defining highlight of Yuva Sangam 2025 was its role in promoting social cohesion and cultural harmony. With participants from different socio-economic backgrounds, regions and cultures, the event became a living example of unity in diversity. Team sports fostered cooperation beyond linguistic or regional identities, while cultural exchanges built emotional connections and mutual respect.

Special sessions on social harmony underscored the importance of inclusivity, mutual understanding and peaceful coexistence in a diverse nation like India. Youth were encouraged to act as ambassadors of harmony in their communities, countering divisive narratives with dialogue, empathy and shared values.

Their involvement reflected a strong commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) focused on youth empowerment, sports promotion and cultural preservation.

Representatives from supporting PSUs reiterated that investing in youth is investing in the future of India. By backing platforms like Yuva Sangam, PSUs are helping create a skilled, healthy, confident and socially responsible generation that will drive economic growth and social stability.

Demonstrated Customer Value and Lifecycle ROI

As part of its Customer Value Leadership assessment, Frost & Sullivan reviewed operational outcomes across multiple BPC deployments. The evaluation recorded tangible performance improvements, including:

  • Throughput increase of up to 30% in retrofitted plants
  • RO efficiency improvement of approximately 5%
  • Evaporator load reduction by up to 10%
  • Chemical reduction of up to 60%
  • Sludge reduction resulting in disposal cost savings of up to 88%
  • Stable operations under high TDS and fluctuating flow conditions

These results reinforce BPC’s ability to deliver lifecycle ROI while maintaining compliance with stringent Environmental Compliance and broader regulatory frameworks.

The evaluation noted that BPC’s solutions enable industries to meet evolving environmental mandates without compromising plant availability or production continuity.

Leadership Perspective

“This recognition reflects our focus on measurable outcomes rather than theoretical innovation,” said Bhaskar Sharma, Chief Executive Officer, BioPetroClean (BPC) India. “Across pharmaceuticals, refineries, CETPs, and process industries, customers adopt BPC for one reason – predictable performance with reduced operating cost. Our strength lies in retrofit engineering, digital intelligence, and biological treatment systems that scale across multiple sites.”

Expanding Across High-Purity and Future-Ready Industries

Beyond pharmaceuticals, Frost & Sullivan recognised BPC’s expanding role in oil and gas refineries, BPCL and IOCL facilities, CETPs, and process industries, as well as future-facing sectors such as semiconductors and solar manufacturing. These sectors demand ultra-pure water, zero tolerance for instability, and high compliance assurance.

BPC’s modular automation, digital twin capabilities, and patented biological treatment solutions support fast deployment in high-flow-rate, saline, and variable-load environments. The company’s approach enables industries to future-proof water infrastructure while maximising asset value from existing plants.

Cininfo Screenwriters Lab 2025 Announces Four Winners

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 24: Cininfo, in association with The Sumita Gupta Foundation of Arts (SGFA), announces the four winners of the Cininfo Screenwriters Lab 2025, an intensive online mentorship program created to support emerging screenwriting talent and help original scripts move decisively towards production.

The selected winners are:

  • Aparajita Datta Gupta — Mumbai
  • Biaas Sanyal — Kolkata
  • Brijbala Vyas — Goa
  • Pawan Kumar Mishra — Mumbai

Their four winning scripts, developed through months of writing, rewrites, and close mentorship, have been selected for production as short films — marking a meaningful transition from script development to screen.

A Lab That Takes Writing Beyond the Page

The Cininfo Screenwriters Lab 2025 was conceived as a writer-first initiative, bringing together committed emerging writers and experienced industry professionals in a focused development environment. Over the course of the lab, participants engaged in structured writing sessions, feedback rounds, and one-on-one guidance aimed at strengthening craft, clarity, and voice.

What distinguishes the lab is its outcome. The process does not conclude with a showcase or certificate. The four winning scripts will now move into active production, reinforcing Cininfo’s intent to create real pathways for writers to see their work realised on screen.

Script Mentorship by Industry Leaders

The lab was mentored by four respected voices from Indian cinema:

  • Sudhir Mishra — Writer / Director / Producer
  • Vijay Krishna Acharya — Writer / Director
  • Richa Chadda — Actor / Producer
  • Shonali Bose — Writer / Director / Producer

Working closely with a cohort of twelve writers, the mentors offered rigorous feedback and practical insight, guiding the writers through multiple stages of development. The four winning scripts emerged through this sustained and collaborative process.

Biofactor Biologicals Launches “BIOLMIN Kit” — India’s First Integrated Soil-to-Yield Biological Nutrition Programme

Biofactor Biologicals Launches “BIOLMIN Kit” — India’s First Integrated Soil-to-Yield Biological Nutrition Programme

New Delhi [India], December 24: Biofactor Biologicals (Biofac Inputs Pvt. Ltd.), a pioneer in agri-biological innovations, today announced the national launch of its flagship solution — the BIOLMIN Kit, India’s first integrated Soil-to-Yield biological nutrition programme. Designed to restore soil vitality, enhance crop performance, and improve farmer profitability, BIOLMIN Kit marks a decisive shift toward science-led, sustainable agriculture.

Developed after more than a decade of intensive research and large-scale field validation, BIOLMIN Kit addresses two of Indian agriculture’s most pressing challenges: progressive soil nutrient depletion and escalating input costs.

A Science-Backed Response to India’s Soil Health Challenge

National soil surveys indicate that nearly 60% of Indian soils are deficient in one or more essential nutrients, leading to declining crop response and inefficient fertilizer use. Conventional fertilizer-centric practices often overlook soil biology — the very engine that governs nutrient availability and plant resilience.

BIOLMIN Kit offers a complete biological nutrition framework that works with natural soil processes, rather than against them.

“Farmers today are battling climate uncertainty, soil fatigue, and rising cultivation costs,” said Dr. L. N. Reddy, Founder & Chief Scientific Advisor, Biofactor.

“BIOLMIN Kit is the outcome of 15 years of research in microbial sciences and field agronomy. It strengthens soil biology so crops can access nutrients more efficiently and sustainably.”

What Makes BIOLMIN Kit Distinct

BIOLMIN Kit integrates four complementary biological actions into a single, easy-to-adopt programme:

  • Nitrogen-Fixing Microbes – Enhance natural nitrogen availability and reduce dependency on synthetic nitrogen
  • Phosphorus-Solubilizing Microorganisms – Improve root development and phosphorus uptake from fixed soil pools
  • Potash-Mobilizing Bacteria – Support flowering, fruiting, and stress tolerance
  • Micronutrient Enrichment – Strengthen enzymatic activity, photosynthesis, and overall plant metabolism

Together, these components establish a self-reinforcing, bio-intelligent soil ecosystem that continues to deliver benefits well beyond the application window.

Proven Field Impact

Farmers across Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Karnataka who adopted BIOLMIN Kit have reported:

  • Vigorous and uniform crop growth
  • Reduced dependence on chemical fertilizers
  • Improved yield and produce quality
  • Enhanced soil organic carbon and root health
  • Lower overall cost of cultivation

Advancing Precision & Sustainable Agriculture

The launch of BIOLMIN Kit reinforces Biofactor’s long-standing philosophy:

“Agriculture without waste. Agriculture without stress. Agriculture with intelligence.”

“BIOLMIN is not merely a product; it is a precision-guided nutrition programme for modern farming,” said Dr. LN Reddy Founder & CEO, Biofactor Biologicals.

“Our goal is to equip farmers with soil-friendly, high-impact technologies that deliver visible results from the very first season.”

Farmer Education & Outreach Initiative

To support effective adoption, Biofactor is simultaneously rolling out a nationwide Farmer Awareness & Capacity-Building Programme, including:

  • Village-level field demonstrations
  • Farmer training camps

ICANN to Open Next New gTLD Application Window on April 30, 2026; Opportunity for Indian Brands: Venkatesh

ICANN to Open Next New gTLD Application Window on April 30, 2026; Opportunity for Indian Brands: Venkatesh

New Delhi [India], December 24: The global internet naming authority ICANN is set to open the next application window for new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) on April 30, 2026, marking the first such opportunity in over a decade for companies, institutions and communities to apply for their own top level extensions.

The programme, formally known as ICANN’s New gTLD Program, allows applicants to create custom top-level domains, including brand-specific extensions such as .brandname. The previous round, launched in 2012, resulted in more than 1,200 new domain extensions but saw relatively limited participation from Indian enterprises.

Industry experts say the upcoming round is drawing sharper interest from Indian companies this time, driven by growing concerns around phishing, brand impersonation and digital trust.

“Domains are no longer just web addresses; they have become trust signals for brands and consumers,” said Venkatesh Venkatasubramanian, an independent domain industry consultant and founder of NewgTLDProgram.com. “What has changed since 2012 is how consumers interact with brands online. Most users today don’t type URLs carefully — they click links, scan QR codes and engage across multiple digital channels.”

According to Venkatesh, this behavioural shift has exposed brands to greater risk from lookalike and deceptive domains, even as companies invest heavily in cybersecurity tools. “You can secure your infrastructure, but if anyone can register a domain that closely resembles your brand, the attack surface remains wide open,” he said.

One category gaining renewed attention is DotBrand gTLD, where a company applies for and operates its own branded top-level domain. Under this model, only the brand itself can create domain names, significantly reducing the risk of external misuse.

“In 2012, DotBrand was often viewed as a marketing experiment,” Venkatesh said. “In 2026, it is being evaluated as a brand protection and control mechanism. That is a fundamental shift among brands.”

Lately many of us have seen or interacted with DotBRAND domains on the internet. Banks and large Brands now use simple, recognisable branded domain names in their websites and online services. home.BARCLAYS or search.GOOGLE are great examples of DotBRAND Domain Names. Dot BRAND domains add a visual layer of authenticated BRAND identification to the customer’s interacting with the Brands online which in turn signifies customer trust towards brands.

Venkatesh noted that several global corporations that adopted brand-owned domains in the previous round now use them for secure customer communication channels, online brand presence along with marketing and branding opportunities. He believes now brands in India are examining similar use cases as they expand globally and face increasing scrutiny around consumer trust. In 2012 Indian BRANDS like TATA, Reliance, Aitel, State Bank of India and few more secured their DotBRAND top level domains like .SBI, .TVS, .JIO.

The upcoming application window is expected to remain open for approximately 12 to 15 weeks, after which ICANN will begin a multi-stage evaluation process that can take several years before successful applicants receive delegation of their domains.

Unlike domain registrations, applying for a new gTLD is a one-time opportunity tied to ICANN’s programme cycles. “These rounds do not open frequently,” Venkatesh said. “For many organisations, this may be the only chance in the next decade to make a foundational decision about how their domain names align with their digital identity.”

Based on his current work with applicants preparing for the upcoming ICANN new gTLD round, Venkatesh said interest levels are noticeably higher than in previous cycles. He noted increased participation from internet entrepreneurs, angel investors, brands and startups across regions, and expects around 40-50 gTLD applications from India in the 2026 round.

He also noted that he assisted several Indian applicants in accessing ICANN’s Applicant Support Program (ASP) before it closed in November. The programme enables eligible applicants to receive up to a 75 per cent reduction on the standard application fee of $227,000. Awareness around the ASP in India was driven through coordinated efforts by ICANN, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), and the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI).

As the April 2026 timeline approaches, industry observers expect more boardrooms to engage with the topic — not as a branding exercise, but as a long-term infrastructure decision that sits alongside cybersecurity, compliance and digital risk management.
