South Indian Cement Manufacturers’ Association Welcomes Landmark GST 2.0

South Indian Cement Manufacturers’ Association Welcomes Landmark GST 2.0

September 19 – The South Indian Cement Manufacturers’ Association (SICMA) expresses its sincere appreciation to the Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, and the Hon’ble Union Finance Minister, Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman, for the landmark decision to reduce Goods and Services Tax (GST) across a wide range of goods and services.

This timely and progressive measure enhances consumer affordability, boosts industry competitiveness, and marks a major step in India’s journey towards Atmanirbhar Bharat. It demonstrates the Government’s commitment to inclusive development and addresses long- standing concerns across multiple sectors.

GST Reduction on Cement: A Boost to Housing and Infrastructure

Reducing GST on cement from 28% to 18% is a particularly impactful move. As a core input in housing, infrastructure, and industrial development, the lower rate will ease construction costs – benefiting individual home builders, affordable housing projects, and public infrastructure initiatives.

By making cement more affordable, this measure supports the Government’s Housing for All mission, expands access to home ownership, and promotes balanced growth in both urban and rural India.

Stimulating Industry and Investment

SICMA believes the revised GST structure will energise demand, spur investment, and create employment. Including cement in this reform reflects the Government’s recognition of its critical role in nation-building. The change will improve efficiency, reduce compliance burdens, and encourage greater formal sector activity.

Industry’s Commitment

SICMA members, representing leading cement manufacturers in Southern India, reaffirm their full support for this transformative reform and stand ready to work alongside all stakeholders to ensure its effective implementation and contribute meaningfully to India’s growth and development.

Women Listed Presents Bazaar: The Gift Edit – A Curated Showcase of Women-Led Gifting Brands 25th September 2025 | Hyatt Regency, New Delhi

New Delhi, September 2025: Women Listed, India’s first-of-its-kind listing and visibility platform for women entrepreneurs, announces its flagship gifting exhibition, Bazaar: The Gift Edit, to be held on 25th September 2025 at Hyatt Regency, New Delhi — one of the capital’s most premium five-star venues.

This one-day showcase will feature over 70+ women-led brands across diverse categories including jewelry, accessories, clothing, kidswear, home décor, home furnishings, candles, gourmet food, stationery, wellness, and festive hampers. Designed to highlight the creativity and originality of women-led ventures, the exhibition gives visibility to businesses — many of them small or home-based — that often struggle to find affordable, credible platforms for growth.

The timing of The Gift Edit is particularly significant, arriving just ahead of Navratras, Dussehra, and Diwali, when demand for festive gifting, décor, and lifestyle products is at its peak. By hosting the exhibition at Hyatt Regency, one of New Delhi’s most premium five-star properties, Women Listed aims to offer not just a marketplace, but a high-quality discovery platform that connects women entrepreneurs with buyers, corporates, and gifting platforms in a setting that reflects the caliber of their work.

Beyond product showcases, Women Listed has designed The Gift Edit as a growth platform for exhibitors. Initiatives include a pre-event Expert Learning Series to equip entrepreneurs with tools to pitch and sell effectively, and an on-ground Pre-Event Meet to help exhibitors network, exchange ideas, and prepare collectively.

Adding to the strength of this edition, Ferns N Petals (FNP), India’s leading gifting brand, joins as the Gifting Partner. The collaboration brings an FNP-curated gifting zone, promotional visibility through FNP’s channels, and an opportunity for select exhibitors to be considered for FNP’s seller network — opening doors to long-term festive and corporate partnerships.

Speaking about the initiative, Meeta Gutgutia, Founder of Women Listed and Co-Founder of Ferns N Petals & Sipping Thoughts, said: “Women Listed Bazaar is our way of putting women entrepreneurs firmly on the map — with a 360° support system that blends visibility, learning, connections, and marketing. Today, there is no organized platform that offers small and home-based women-led ventures an affordable and credible space to reach the right audiences. With the Bazaar, we are creating that ecosystem — where women don’t have to keep knocking on different doors, but can instead find opportunity, discovery, and growth all under one roof. Our vision is for the Bazaar to be more than a marketplace — a true stepping stone for long-term growth.”

Women Listed Bazaar: The Gift Edit will run from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM on 25th September at Hyatt Regency, New Delhi. More information and RSVP details are available at https://www.womenlisted.in/events/delhi/women-listed-bazaar-gift-edit/.

Founded by Meeta Gutgutia, Women Listed is a platform dedicated to building visibility and growth opportunities for women-led businesses, homepreneurs, and professionals.

Bengali AI-Powered Music Video “Aamra Dujon Pandale Jaabo” by Moynaak Goes Viral Ahead of Durga Puja Festivities

Bengali AI-Powered Music Video “Aamra Dujon Pandale Jaabo” by Moynaak Goes Viral Ahead of Durga Puja Festivities

Blending AI innovation with human creativity, IIM alumnus Moynaak creates a soulful tribute to love, nostalgia, and festive spirit right in time for Bengal’s biggest celebration.

Kolkata, India, September 2025 – As West Bengal gears up for the joyous onset of Durga Puja, a new Bengali music video is striking a powerful emotional chord with listeners across the globe. Titled “Aamra Dujon Pandale Jaabo” (We Will Go to the Pandal Together), this heartwarming track, powered by artificial intelligence, is the latest creative offering by Moynaak, an IIM graduate and the current Marketing Head of a prestigious Indian brand.

The song, released on YouTube just days ago (Watch here), is already garnering attention for its peppy nostalgic melody, poetic lyrics, and a pioneering use of AI in Bengali music production.

An Emotional Journey Through Durga Puja Memories

“Aamra Dujon Pandale Jaabo” is more than just a music video. it’s an invitation to relive cherished moments of walking through pandals hand in hand, soaking in the joy of dhunuchi naach, dhaak beats, and the aroma of shiuli flowers. Through its melancholic yet hopeful tune, the song captures the essence of romantic nostalgia and the emotional pull of Durga Puja, a time when lovers reunite, friends reconnect, and the city comes alive.

Whether you’re in Kolkata, London, or New Jersey, the song feels like a familiar story, one that every Bengali heart holds dear.

The Mind Behind the Music: Moynaak, The Marketer-Musician

At the helm of this unique project is Moynaak, a rare combination of artistic sensitivity and strategic thinking. An Indian Institute of Management (IIM) alumnus, Moynaak currently leads marketing for one of India’s most respected brands. But beyond boardrooms and brand plans lies his passion for storytelling, music, and now, the intelligent use of AI in creative arts.

“I’ve always been fascinated by the idea that machines can learn from us, understand our emotions, and ultimately enhance human creativity,” Moynaak says. “This song is a testament to how AI, when guided with the right intent, can help us create something deeply human.”

How AI Played a Role

The music video is not just a traditional composition; it is one of the first Bengali AI-enhanced music projects to blend machine intelligence with human emotion. From voice modulation to melodic structuring, Moynaak integrated various AI-assisted tools to streamline composition, instrumentation, and vocals.

Unlike many generative art experiments that feel robotic or impersonal, “Aamra Dujon Pandale Jaabo” has received praise for its authentic feel, rich narrative, and emotional resonance. That’s because, as Moynaak emphasizes, “AI is just a tool; it’s the human behind the algorithm who brings the magic.”

Audience Reactions & Early Impact

The song has already struck a chord on social media, with hundreds of shares and heartfelt comments pouring in across platforms. Many are calling it the “official anthem of Pujo love in 2025.” Several users shared stories of how it reminded them of first love, college days, or Durga Pujas they celebrated far from home.

Popular Bengali bloggers and indie music curators have also taken notice, praising Moynaak’s bold vision in blending tradition with technology.

What’s Next for Moynaak?

This is not the end,it’s the beginning. Moynaak plans to continue exploring AI in music and storytelling, especially in underrepresented languages like Bengali. His mission? To prove that technology, when rooted in cultural memory and artistic intention, can preserve and even amplify the emotional richness of our heritage.

He is also in talks for collaborations with other indie musicians and AI developers, aiming to build a creative collective at the intersection of art, emotion, and machine intelligence.

Where to Watch & How to Support

The music video “Aamra Dujon Pandale Jaabo” is now streaming on YouTube:

Tenchijin Signs MOU with India’s Swach Environment to Conduct PoC Projects in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal

First Partnership in India, Collaborating Toward Future Market Growth

TOKYO, Japan – September 18, 2025 – Tenchijin Inc., a space-tech innovator transforming sustainable water infrastructure management, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Swach Environment Private Limited (“Swach”), a leading water infrastructure company in India, on July 1, 2025. Under this MOU, Tenchijin and Swach intend to pursue Proof-of-Concept (PoC) projects in three locations — Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal — aimed at testing the applicability of Tenchijin’s “KnoWaterleak”, a water leakage assessment and management system, in the Indian market. The PoC initiatives are currently under consideration and will be carried out subject to government approval and support.

This agreement represents Tenchijin’s first partnership in India and establishes a foundation for future business expansion in the country.

Our Trusted Partner – Swach Environment Private Limited

Swach is a leading water infrastructure and service company based in Kolkata, West Bengal, providing integrated solutions for drinking water, wastewater, effluent, and sewage management and smart water solutions. Its expertise spans Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC), Operations & Maintenance (O&M), and Build Own Operate and Transfer (BOOT) as a water utility serving across the spectrum of customers, across industrial, municipal, domestic, urban, and rural segments.

Swach has demonstrated strong technical proficiency and reliability through its extensive track record in delivering large-scale water infrastructure projects across India’s capital and various urban, industrial, and rural regions. In addition, proven record of delivering ongoing joint projects with Veolia India, the Indian subsidiary of France-based Veolia Group, one of the world’s leading environmental services companies, further demonstrates Swach’s credibility.

  • Delhi: Has been a partner in “Nangloi Water Supply Project”, one of the largest public-private partnership (PPP) initiatives by the Delhi Jal Board, aiming to deliver 24/7 water supply. Together with Veolia India, Swach manages a plant with a capacity of 40 million MGD (approx. 6 million liters per day) and serves over 1.2 million people.
  • West Bengal: Operates “Haldia Water Supply Project”, one of India’s largest industrial and municipal water supply projects with a supply of over 42 MGD (approx. 200 million liters) and a city operator for Haldia. The operating entity received the Best PPP Operator in the Water & Wastewater Sector at the World Water Awards 2024–2025.

India, the most populous country in the world, faces serious water infrastructure challenges, including aging pipelines, high non-revenue water (NRW) rates, and intermittent water supply. KnoWaterleak’s water leakage risk assessment function is expected to play a significant role in addressing these challenges.

Tenchijin strives to deliver an innovative platform for the country’s future. We believe Swach’s proven expertise, strong technological capabilities, and trusted track record in India make them the ideal partner to tackle the ongoing challenges.

This PoC will be conducted in three geographically and contextually diverse locations: Delhi, the capital and India’s most populous economic hub; Uttar Pradesh in the north, a densely populated region with thriving agriculture; and West Bengal in the east, known for its industrial and agricultural activities. By evaluating the effectiveness of KnoWaterleak from multiple perspectives across these regions, we anticipate gaining valuable insights to guide our future endeavors.

84 Churches in Ethiopia Change Their Church Signboards to Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony

84 Churches in Ethiopia Change Their Church Signboards to Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony

A total of 84 churches across 10 cities in Ethiopia have officially changed their church signboard names to Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (Chairman: Lee Man-hee, hereinafter “Shincheonji Church of Jesus”).

On the 10th, the Peter Tribe of Shincheonji held the “Ethiopia 84 Churches Signboard Changing Ceremony.” During the event, 84 church pastors declared that they had become members of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, committed to preaching the Word of the New Covenant Revelation, and resolved to become one through the “revealed Word.”

This development stems from the participation of Pastor Asefa Angeto (President of the Misgana Denomination Association) in the “2nd Global Invitation Revelation Seminar” held last November at Shincheonji Cheongju Church. After returning to his home country, Ethiopia, Pastor Asefa continued to lead local seminars based on the Word he had learned.

Pastor Asefa had traveled to over 100 churches in 10 cities, conducting seminars and testifying to the revealed Word he learned from Shincheonji.

This signboard replacement is being regarded as more than a simple change of signage—it is seen as a major breakthrough in spreading a Word-centered transformation across the Ethiopian Christian community.

At the commemorative ceremony, the 84 representative pastors declared, “We have become members of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, having mastered the Word of the New Covenant Revelation. We resolve to preach this Word throughout Ethiopia, so that both pastors and believers alike may follow only the truth and devote themselves more fervently to the ministry of the Word.”

A representative of the Peter Tribe of Shincheonji stated, “Currently, 181 pastors in Ethiopia are learning the revealed Word from Shincheonji Church of Jesus. We will continue to make known the fact that the prophecies of Revelation have been fulfilled today, and we will do our utmost so that churches around the world may become united through the Word.”

Cybercrime Surge Demands Skilled Defenders: Engineers’ Day Call to Action from AiCyber.Guru

Cybercrime Surge Demands Skilled Defenders: Engineers’ Day Call to Action from AiCyber.Guru

By Somendra Nath Tiwari, Founder – AiCyber.Guru, Somendra@AiCyber.Guru

CISSP, MBA IIM Lucknow, September 15, 2025 — As India commemorates Engineers’ Day in honor of Bharat Ratna Sir M. Visvesvaraya, the spotlight turns not only to innovation but to protection. In an era where digital infrastructure underpins every aspect of life—from banking and healthcare to education and governance—engineers are no longer just builders. They are guardians of the digital realm.

This year, AiCyber.Guru, a cybersecurity education and consulting startup based in Lucknow, is calling on engineers, students, and professionals to take a pledge:
To fight cybercrime, raise awareness, and build the skills needed to prevent cyberattacks.

Cybercrime Is Escalating—And Getting Smarter

According to the latest Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) report, India recorded over 17.82 lakh cybercrime complaints between 2018 and 2022. While ₹5,489 crore was saved through swift action by cyber cells and helplines such as 1930, the report warns of a sharp rise in AI-powered scams, deepfake frauds, and social engineering attacks.

The research by AiCyber.Guru highlights chilling real-world cases:

  • Case 1: The Doctor’s Digital Arrest – ₹2.81 Crore Lost

A Lucknow-based doctor was manipulated into believing she was under investigation by TRAI and CBI. Isolated for eight days under a fabricated “digital arrest,” she unknowingly gave access to five bank accounts. The scammers siphoned off ₹2.81 crore while she remained under psychological duress.

Lesson: Digital arrest is a fake and illegal tactic used by cybercriminals to trap victims through fear. Stay alert—spread the word to friends and family so they don’t fall for it.

  • Case 2: UPI Fraud – ₹56,000 Vanished in Minutes

A college student in Noida received a call from someone posing as a delivery agent, claiming a parcel needed a ₹5 verification fee. The caller sent a UPI link, and within seconds of clicking and entering her PIN, ₹56,000 was drained from her account. Despite reporting the incident to the cyber helpline (1930), recovery was partial.

Lesson: Never click on unsolicited payment links. Always verify sender identity and use official apps for transactions

  • Case 3: Nation-State Cyberwarfare – Infrastructure Crippled

During geopolitical tensions, malware like IsaacWiper and LoadEdge targeted telecom, energy, and financial systems. Fake surrender messages aired on national TV, and critical data was wiped from servers—showing how cyberattacks have become tools of modern warfare.

Lesson: Cyberattacks are no longer just criminal acts—they’re strategic weapons in modern warfare. Protecting critical infrastructure requires skilled defenders and national cyber readiness.

These cases aren’t just cautionary tales—they’re urgent calls for action.

AiCyber.Guru: Building India’s Next-Gen AiCyber Workforce

Founded by Somendra Nath Tiwari, a cybersecurity and telecom veteran with over two decades of rich experience at Microsoft, Nokia, Jio, and Motorola, AiCyber.Guru is more than a startup—it’s a movement.

As an official partner of EC-Council, AiCyber.Guru offers globally recognized certifications that prepare learners for real-world cyber defense:

  • CEH – Certified Ethical Hacker
  • CPENT – Certified Penetration Testing Professional
  • CHFI – Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator
  • CSA – Certified SOC Analyst
  • CTIA – Certified Threat Intelligence Analyst

“Our goal is to democratize cybersecurity education,” says Somendra. “We’re blending AI-powered content, gamified learning, and strategic consulting to empower individuals, institutions, and industries.”

The platform also runs Hackerverse CTFs, interactive quizzes, and a vibrant WhatsApp community where learners, mentors, and experts collaborate to decode threats and share insights.

The Alarming Landscape

  • A cyberattack occurs every 39 seconds globally
  • India ranks among the top nations in digital payments, yet 52% of organizations report breaches
  • Over 400,000 fake websites and DDoS attacks emerge monthly
  • Over 1.5 million cybersecurity roles remain unfilled in India, professionals needed immediately, with 3.5 million required globally by 2025

Despite this, awareness remains low. Many citizens fall prey to scams simply because they don’t know how to verify identities, spot phishing links, or secure their devices.

Engineers’ Day Call to Action

This Engineers’ Day, AiCyber.Guru invites India’s tech community to:

  • Take the Cyber Pledge: Commit to learning, sharing, and defending
  • Enroll in Cybersecurity certifications to become certified defenders
  • Join the AiCyber WhatsApp Community as a mentor, expert, or learner
  • Participate in monthly CTF challenges and awareness campaigns

India and its cybersecurity defenders must rise beyond being mere adopters of foreign technologies. It’s time to lead—to innovate, architect, and secure the next generation of digital infrastructure with indigenous strength. To be truly self-reliant, we must build our own AI-powered cyber defense systems, shape global standards, and cultivate a workforce that doesn’t just follow trends but sets them.

The tech community must embrace a security-first mindset—where protection is not an afterthought but a foundational principle. The future of cybersecurity must be Made in India, Led by India.

Whether you’re a student exploring career paths, a professional seeking upskilling, or an educator shaping future minds—AiCyber.Guru offers a launchpad to cyber excellence.

Final Word

Cybersecurity isn’t just a technical skill—it’s a civic responsibility.
As engineers, let’s not just build the future. Let’s secure it.

Happy Engineers’ Day from AiCyber.Guru
Let’s engineer a safer, smarter, cyber-aware India—together.

Founded in 2016 by Sarthak Chhabra and Yogesh Arora, alt.f coworking has grown into one of India’s fastest expanding workspace brands. Featured on Shark Tank India Season 4, the company earned national recognition for its mission to make premium work environments accessible to businesses of all sizes. Known for its beautifully designed interiors and thoughtful layouts, alt.f coworking has consistently delivered what many business owners believed was out of reach – offices that look unaffordable but are not. With pricing starting at ₹8,500 per seat per month, the Begumpet centre continues this philosophy by offering the best product to price ratio in the coworking segment.

The Begumpet workspace blends modern design with practical functionality. Open collaborative areas, private cabins, and flexible seating are paired with carefully considered details that make workdays smoother and more inspiring. At alt.f coworking, design is not decoration. It is an integral part of how productivity, focus, and collaboration are built into the everyday work experience.

“Small businesses in Hyderabad often face a difficult choice between affordability and quality when it comes to office spaces,” said Yogesh Arora, co-founder of alt.f coworking. “Our vision is to remove that compromise. Begumpet represents an idea we strongly believe in – that design and functionality should not be reserved for the few. When you make thoughtfully designed, premium quality workspaces accessible to small and micro businesses, you are not just providing offices, you are enabling growth, confidence, and long term stability for an entire segment of entrepreneurs.”

Strategically located in one of Hyderabad’s most connected neighbourhoods, the Begumpet centre offers easy access to commercial hubs, residential catchments, and major transport routes. By combining convenience, affordability, and premium design, alt.f coworking continues to strengthen its presence in Hyderabad and across India.

This launch marks another milestone in the brand’s journey to become one of the country’s most trusted coworking networks. With every new space, alt.f coworking reaffirms its promise to deliver work environments that inspire, support, and empower businesses of all sizes, especially those who need it most.
