  • Beyond the Surface of Luxury: Cocuzè Debuts as India’s Premier Regenerative Design House

    Beyond the Surface of Luxury: Cocuzè Debuts as India’s Premier Regenerative Design House

    New Delhi [India], April 04: In an era defined by mass production and surface-level “quiet luxury,” a new voice is emerging from New Delhi to challenge the status quo. Cocuzè (Co-koo-zay), a newly launched regenerative design house, is stepping into the global design dialogue with a provocative premise: our homes are not neutral spaces. They are living ecosystems that actively influence how we feel, think, gather, and rest.

    “Fusing Permaculture, Heritage Craftsmanship, and Immersive Tech, Founder Hemant Sahni Champions a Mindful Shift in How We Curate Our Homes & Lives”

    What we eat, what we touch, and what we see daily quietly becomes part of us. Cocuzè’s core philosophy is that much of modern living is built on an unsettling disconnection – from nature, from material origins, and from the daily rhythms that once grounded humanity.

    The Founder’s Metamorphosis: From the Boardroom to the Earth

    The story of Cocuzè is as much about personal transformation as it is about design. After two decades in global corporate leadership and an education at IIM Calcutta, founder Hemant Sahni stepped away to answer a deeper, more essential question: What does it mean to live in a way that truly nourishes us physically, mentally, and spiritually?

    What followed was not a linear journey; it was a deliberate dismantling of assumptions. Sahni moved across worlds that rarely intersect – moving from formal design education in London to hands-on permaculture training near Nainital, and eventually working with traditional lime and heritage building systems in Shekhawati.

    “What we surround ourselves with shapes us – physically, emotionally, and spiritually. But today, we are living out of sync with nature – breathing compromised air, consuming food we don’t understand, and inhabiting spaces that disconnect us from ourselves. We have learned how to build houses, but forgotten how to create homes that actually nourish life.” – Hemant Sahni

    Read the full founder’s journey and the story behind the brand on Cocuzè Homepage. 

    Reinventing Retail through Intimate Commerce

    If how we live shapes us, then how we choose what enters our homes becomes critical. And yet, most decisions today are made with limited context.

    Customers can find anything, anywhere – 
    but often without clarity, connection, or confidence.

    Cocuzè responds to this with its approach to Intimate Commerce – a model designed not to accelerate consumption, but to make it more intentional, informed, and personal.

    This comes alive in multiple ways.

    Through Augmented Reality, customers can visualise artworks within their own spaces -understanding scale, presence, and fit before making a decision. Currently introduced as a pilot within Cocuzè’s Paintings & Wall Art collection, this immersive capability will be extended across all relevant categories where in-space visualisation enhances decision-making. 

    At the same time, through Cocuzè Privé, customers can engage directly with Cocuzè’s designers – seeking guidance, context, and a more considered perspective before bringing a piece into their home.

    Together, these experiences move beyond transaction  
    creating a more thoughtful and connected way of choosing.

    Because what enters your home should never be accidental.
    It should be understood.

    An Ecosystem of Living: The Curated Collections

    At the heart of Cocuzè lies a curated world of heirloom-worthy pieces chosen not for fleeting trends, but for lasting presence. The brand operates on a simple but profound principle: repair, repurpose, and redesign before replacing.

    To cater to the diverse facets of a mindful home, Cocuzè has mapped out distinct collections called The Atelier https://cocuze.com/pages/shop 

    The Sacred Collection: Drawing from deep spiritual symbolism and cultural depth to bring soul into the home. 

    The Heritage Collection: Reinterpreting traditional craftsmanship and indigenous techniques for contemporary, high-end spaces. 

    The Luminary Edit: Exploring light not just as a utility, but as mood, shadow, and atmosphere. 

    Art & Decor: Shaping spaces through layered textures, hand-painted narratives, and visual storytelling. 

    Premium Leather: Where tactility, natural aging, and longevity take absolute precedence over excess. 

    Everyday Luxury & Occasions: For those looking to infuse daily rituals with grace or gift with profound intention.

    Beyond Objects: Designing How You Live

    Cocuzè (Co-koo-zay), inspired by the cocoon – a symbol of metamorphosis – approaches the home not as a collection of objects, but as a living, sensory environment that shapes how you feel, think, and live.

    Because a home is not just seen.
    It is experienced – through space, through food, and through sound.

    A space that slows you down.
    Materials that age with you.
    Light that shifts through the day, quietly influencing mood and rhythm.

    Guided by the permaculture ethics of Earth Care, People Care, and Fair Share, Cocuzè extends its philosophy beyond objects into the very fabric of everyday living:

    Spatial Design
    Through its design practice, Cocuzè approaches homes as living systems – where material, light, air, and layout are carefully considered to support well-being, not just aesthetics.
    Explore the studio on Cocuzè Homepage. 

    Alimento (Nourishment)
    Perhaps the most transformative expression of this philosophy, Alimento reintroduces a deeper relationship with food – turning balconies into edible gardens, and kitchens into slower, more intentional spaces of nourishment and gathering.
    Discover Alimento on Cocuzè Homepage. 

    The Sound of Cocuzè
    Recognising that sound shapes space as deeply as form, Cocuzè brings back the ritual of listening vinyl records, analog warmth, and music curated to influence mood, presence, and emotional depth.
    Experience it from The Atelier under the Collector’s Edit. 

    Through this integrated approach, Cocuzè is not just designing homes- it is shaping a more conscious way of living.

    And in doing so, it advances a larger vision:
    to help India reclaim its voice in the global design dialogue – not as a source of craft alone, but as an origin of design thinking, philosophy, and luxury.

    About Cocuzè

    Cocuzè is a New Delhi-based regenerative design house founded by Hemant Sahni. Through curated collections, spatial design, and permaculture-led living, the brand brings together craftsmanship, culture, and conscious luxury to create meaningful, enduring experiences.

  • Banish Dhar: The Quiet Force Behind Globally Enduring Leadership

    Banish Dhar: The Quiet Force Behind Globally Enduring Leadership

    New Delhi [India], April 03: Influence in the modern world does not always belong to the loudest voice. Increasingly, it belongs to those who can interpret complexity, distill it into insight, and guide institutions toward decisions that endure. Banish Dhar has quietly emerged as one of those figures a foremost policy strategist, public thinker, and opinion shaper whose ideas sit at the intersection of enterprise, governance, and long-term institutional design.

    Dhar’s career has evolved not around spectacle but around thought leadership. Within one of India’s most respected industrial ecosystems, he operates as a strategic adviser and intellectual architect, contributing perspectives that increasingly resonate far beyond boardrooms. His commentary, speeches and essays reveal a consistent intellectual thread institutions must think deeper, act more deliberately, and measure success across generations rather than quarterly cycles.

    It is a philosophy that has carried him onto influential international platforms. At the University of Oxford, during the Global Leadership Summit, Dhar was not only invited to speak but was also honoured with a Global Leadership Award recognition of the strategic clarity and civic orientation that mark his work. In his remarks there, he captured the spirit of institutional thinking in a single observation:

    “To stand in Oxford is to inhale the breath of history and exhale the possibility of tomorrow. Institutions like these remind us that leadership is not about the moment it is about what endures beyond it.”

    That emphasis on durability is a defining feature of Dhar’s thinking. In his view, the most consequential leaders are not those who dominate the news cycle but those who shape the frameworks through which decisions are made.

    This approach has also brought him into global policy conversations. At the United Nations affiliated WASME forum, Dhar engaged with leaders and policymakers on the evolving role of enterprise in building resilient economies and societies. His interventions in such forums often focus on the structural relationship between economic growth, social legitimacy, and institutional accountability.

    Across these platforms, Dhar has cultivated a reputation as a firm thinker and curator of strategic insight. His reflections frequently challenge leaders to step back from the immediacy of market pressures and ask a more enduring question: what systems are we building that will continue to create value long after we are gone?

    “Clarity of mind precedes clarity of action,” he has often said in public forums a line that encapsulates his approach to leadership and strategy. The discipline of thinking clearly before acting decisively, he argues, is the difference between reactive leadership and transformational institution-building.

    Equally central to Dhar’s worldview is the belief that enterprise must increasingly function as a force for societal advancement. While traditional metrics focus narrowly on financial performance, Dhar advocates a broader framework that considers the long-term social impact of corporate decisions. Projects should be judged not only by their immediate returns but by the structures they create jobs, skills, infrastructure and opportunity.

    “Leadership is not just vision, but the ability to translate that vision into reality,” he wrote in a reflection shared widely across professional networks. The remark underscores Dhar’s conviction that ideas acquire meaning only when embedded into systems capable of delivering consistent outcomes.

    Observers who follow his work often note the unusual balance he maintains between strategic analysis and civic purpose. Dhar’s interventions rarely remain confined to corporate strategy; they extend into larger conversations about national development, institutional resilience, and the responsibilities of leadership in a rapidly transforming world.

    As India navigates an era of profound economic and social change, voices capable of bridging enterprise with public purpose will become increasingly important. Dhar’s growing presence on international platforms suggests that his perspective grounded in strategic depth and institutional thinking resonates with that emerging need.

    Ultimately, Banish Dhar represents a particular kind of modern leader: not merely an executive voice within industry, but a public thinker shaping how leadership itself is understood. In a time when ideas travel quickly but often shallowly, his work reminds us that the most powerful insights are still the ones built patiently and designed to last.

  • Icons of India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal among Top Finalists in Britain-based 21st Century’s Global Merit Index

    Icons of India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal among Top Finalists in Britain-based 21st Century’s Global Merit Index

    New Delhi [India], April 04: In an era marked by unprecedented technological advance, seismic social change, and deepening global interdependence, South Asia’s most transformative minds and hearts are now part of a ground-breaking and momentous global reckoning of influence.

    Drawing from a pool of 1.9 million notables across 195 countries, the Britain‑based Impact Hallmarks has unveiled around 183 finalists for its international opinion poll for the Quarticentennial Merited Impacts Gazette (2000–2025), a landmark initiative aimed at documenting those whose work has reshaped the first quarter of 21st century through measurable, enduring impact rather than transient fame. The public voting phase is currently live online, inviting citizens worldwide to decide not by visibility, but by the depth of contribution across humanitarian, scientific, ecological, and socio‑economic domains.

    Covering a vast forefront of the South Asia’s cohort are Indian icons, individuals whose lives have become templates for systemic change and human dignity in our time. Nobel Laureate Kailash Satyarthi stands as a towering figure among child rights advocates globally, his relentless campaigns over decades contributing to the rescue of millions of children from exploitation, smuggling,  denial of education and prostitution. With a moral compass that has influenced international policy and grassroots rescue operations alike, his work epitomises an India‑rooted but globally relevant struggle for human freedom. 

    Alongside Satyarthi, Arunima Sinha embodies an extraordinary narrative of resilience and possibility. Having become the first female amputee to climb Mount Everest, she rewrote parameters of physical endurance and transformed personal triumph into advocacy for disability rights and empowerment. Her climb was not merely a physical conquest but a symbolic reorientation of societal assumptions about ability, courage, and perseverance.

    Also representing India in the roster of global finalists are innovators whose work bridges scientific ingenuity with human welfare. Nitesh Kumar Jangir, recognised for developing affordable, life‑saving neonatal medical technologies, stands at the intersection of humanitarian impact and technological innovation, directly improving outcomes for countless families who previously lacked access to vital medical care. Dr Fathima Benazir J., a molecular biologist whose work is cited for enhancing laboratory safety and practical applications in child health, further highlights how Indian scientific contribution is yielding direct benefits to society at large.

    Among the Pakistani finalists, the narrative of impact is equally rich and systemic. Dr Amjad Saqib, founder of the Akhuwat Foundation, has pioneered one of the world’s largest interest‑free microfinance networks, steering millions out of poverty with respect for dignity and solidarity. His model of Mawakhat — social brotherhood — blends economic inclusion with community empowerment. Prof Dr Aurangzeb Hafi, the arch-polymath of 21st century, a living legend of intellectual realms whose cross‑disciplinary research-work spans over 93 subjects fields and epistemological orbits including Cosmology, Primordiology, Public Health and Phygital Education, is recognised for research contributions that redefine how science interfaces with society and nature. His major contributions include identification of the phenomenon of subsoil hydro-toxification of underground water reserves due to the prevailing sewage-drainage systems. Other accomplishments include the breakthrough discovery of Magneto-Hydro-Tropism (MHT) and Deca-archic Model of Phygital Literacy. He also led ‘Child Retardation Risk Assessment’ programme in the aftermath of Asian Tsunami of 2004. He was, subsequently nominated for Noble Prize, which he declined on ethico-moral basis. His major area of research is prevention of multiple disabilities at pre-birth stage and in the newly born babies. Other Pakistani voices in the poll include community leaders and youth activists such as Parveen Saeed, and young campaigners Ghulam Bisher Hafi and Ubaida Al Fiddhah Hafiah, whose “Voice for the Voiceless” initiative spotlights the plight of children in conflict zones. The legacy of service from icons like Bilquis Edhi and Dr Ruth Pfau — whose decades of compassionate work continue to inspire public health and welfare efforts — is also honoured in the merit index.

    Figures from Sri Lanka bring forward narratives of depth and bridge‑building: Dr Jehan Perera, a veteran peacebuilder and human rights advocate, has over decades worked to cultivate inter‑ethnic and inter‑faith reconciliation, embedding social cohesion in communities once fractured by conflict. Prof Chandra Wickramasinghe has propelled Sri Lanka into the orbit of foundational scientific debate with his research on cosmic dust and panspermia, inviting humanity to reconsider the universality and origins of life itself — a work resonating across astrophysics, biology, and philosophical inquiry.

    Dr Asha de Vos, a marine scientist, has reshaped global understandings of whale populations and marine biodiversity, rooting conservation in empirical evidence and local ecological realities. Dr A.T. Ariyaratne, whose grassroots development movement has uplifted thousands of rural communities through participatory, sustainable practices, completes this quartet of Sri Lankan nominees whose impacts are both local and global. 

    The South Asian list is further enriched by nominees from Bangladesh and Nepal whose work has shaped socio‑economic and humanitarian landscapes. Prof Yunus of Bangladesh, who stood as an architect of financial inclusion that has transformed rural economies by elevating beggars, through dignity‑based lending. 

    Pushpa Basnet of Nepal has become a global exemplar in rescuing and educating children of incarcerated parents, demonstrating how systemic compassion can restructure societal norms around justice and care. 

    Across the full slate of global finalists, other notable figures illustrate the broader thematic span of the poll — from Chen Si in China, whose daily interventions at Nanjing’s Yangtze River Bridge have directly prevented hundreds of suicides through sustained compassion and dialogue, to intellectual giants like Shing‑Tung Yau, whose resolution of deep mathematical problems continues to foundationally shape theoretical physics.

    Impact Hallmarks make it very clear that the poll for Quarticentennial Merited Impacts Gazette is not a popularity contest but, just a validation layer for a historic archive of influence measured by tangible contribution.

    Designed to serve as the “living ledger of influence” for the first 25 years of the century, the initiative seeks to capture values, priorities and transformative endeavours that have authored the narratives of change, from humanitarian advances to cross‑disciplinary scientific innovation.

    As public voting continues through the official portal, global participation will help determine which of these remarkable individuals will be inscribed most indelibly in the record of 21st‑century impact — an era increasingly defined not by celebrity but by sustained, measurable transformation.

  • When Faith Becomes the Purest Light: From a Temple Beneath a Tree to 1111 Across India

    When Faith Becomes the Purest Light: From a Temple Beneath a Tree to 1111 Across India

    A Dang-born vision by Govind Dholakia evolves into a nationwide movement for tribal upliftment

    Surat (Gujarat) [India], April 04: The ‘Dang Prayag Hanuman Temple’ initiative, led by Shri Govind Dholakia (Govindkaka), Founder-Chairman Emeritus of Shree Ramkrishna Exports (SRK), along with SRK Knowledge Foundation (SRKKF), has expanded its commitment from 311 to 1111 Hanumanji temples across tribal regions in India.

    The initiative traces its origins to a multi-speciality medical camp in Dang, where Govindkaka noticed a Hanumanji idol placed beneath a tree, worshipped with deep devotion by villagers despite their limited means. Moved by the purity of their faith, he envisioned creating dedicated spaces that would honour this devotion while also bringing communities together. In collaboration with P.P. Swamiji and local villagers, the Dang Prayag Hanuman Yagya was initiated, with the aim of nurturing both spiritual and social consciousness among lakhs of forest dwellers.

    “When I saw Hanumanji under a tree, I did not see poverty… I saw pure devotion. That moment stayed with me. These temples are a way of giving that devotion a rightful place. The rest, as always, is guided by Ishwar,” says Govindkaka.

    Govind Dholakia

    Since its inception, over 175 temples have been consecrated through Pran Pratishtha across multiple phases. Over time, these spaces have grown beyond places of worship into centres of community life, bringing together 200 to 300 people for gatherings, encouraging social cohesion, and supporting initiatives such as tobacco-free villages. Continued engagement by donors and well-wishers has further helped bridge the rural-urban divide.

    Encouraged by the visible transformation in Dang, the initiative is now being scaled beyond the region. The decision to expand from 311 to 1111 temples reflects growing participation and a shared belief in the model’s impact. In Sanatan parampara, 1111 is often seen as a symbol of alignment and divine guidance, where a pure intention evolves into a larger collective movement under Ishwar’s will.

    Commenting on the development, former President of India Shri Ram Nath Kovind said, “The journey from 311 to 1111 Hanumanji temples reflects not just scale, but the strengthening of collective devotion and community participation.”

    Gujarat Governor Shri Acharya Devvrat added, “Where many may overlook devotion in its simplest form, Shri Govind Dholakia has chosen to institutionalise it by building temples that serve society.”

    The impact of the initiative is already visible, with nearly 2.5 lakh lives touched across the Dang region. This assumes greater significance in the national context, as India is home to an estimated 12.8 crore tribal citizens, accounting for around 8.8% of the population, and who contribute significantly to agriculture, forest-based livelihoods, and the minor forest produce economy, forming a vital part of the country’s sustainability framework. Yet, many such regions continue to remain underserved.

    Positioned at the intersection of spirituality and grassroots development, the Dang Prayag Hanuman Temple initiative is emerging as a scalable model of community-led transformation where faith becomes a foundation for dignity, connection, and inclusive progress across India’s tribal heartlands.

  • IPL 2026 Global Sports Brands Ramp Up Cricket Fan Engagement Campaigns

    IPL 2026 Global Sports Brands Ramp Up Cricket Fan Engagement Campaigns

    As the Indian T20 League 2026 season gets underway, international sports marketing companies are unveiling multi-layered fan engagement initiatives built around cricket — reflecting the sport’s unmatched commercial pull.

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 04: The Indian Premier League season has long served as a barometer for global brand interest in cricket, and the 2026 edition is no different. This year, international sports marketing and sponsorship companies are channelling significant resources into fan engagement activations timed around the T20 season — a reflection of cricket’s sustained commercial appeal and India’s position as the world’s most watched cricket market.

    Among the campaigns drawing attention in the sports marketing space is the “Festival of Winnings” initiative by Parimatch, an international sports sponsorship and marketing company that counts partnerships with major global cricket and football franchises among its portfolio. The campaign, positioned as a season-long fan engagement programme running alongside the Indian T20 League 2026, is designed to keep cricket audiences actively engaged throughout the tournament.

    A Season-Long Fan Engagement Structure
    Global sports marketing campaigns of this scale typically combine headline prize events with daily engagement mechanics — a format that mirrors the structure of the T20 season itself, where every match carries consequence. The Parimatch “Festival of Winnings” is structured similarly, running as a parallel activation across the duration of the Indian T20 League with new challenges, mini-games, and audience engagement opportunities unlocking on a daily basis.

    According to the Parimatch Press Office, the campaign aims to make the season feel like a continuous celebration for cricket fans: “The Indian T20 League season is hugely significant for us, for millions of fans, and for the players themselves. We prepare for it all year to make the season even more thrilling. This year, the Festival of Winnings is bigger than ever, with unique prizes, daily challenges, interactive games, and surprises that turn every match into a celebration of cricket and excitement.”

    Cricket Analysts and Brand Ambassadors
    The campaign features Eoin Morgan — the former England white-ball captain who led England to their 2019 ODI World Cup triumph — in the role of Chief Cricket Analyst. Morgan’s appointment underscores a broader trend of global cricket brands recruiting credible cricketing voices to deepen their engagement with the sport’s fan base.

    Morgan noted that the campaign attempts to bridge the gap between what happens on the field and the experience of the fan watching at home: “Every Indian T20 League match is a complex mix of team strategy and split-second decisions. Festival of Winnings adds a new layer of engagement: fans become active participants, creating real-time opportunities tied to the action in the middle. This season allows fans to experience matches as deeply as the players themselves.”

    The company also has cricket ambassadors in David Warner, Sunil Narine, and Jonty Rhodes — representing Australia, the West Indies, and South Africa respectively — who have represented the brand across its international markets.

    The Commercial Landscape of IPL Sponsorships
    The Indian Premier League has grown into one of the most commercially lucrative sporting events in the world. Brand valuations, media rights deals, and sponsorship revenues associated with the league have all seen significant growth over the past decade. For global sports marketing companies, the IPL season represents a concentrated window of audience attention — making it a natural focus for large-scale fan engagement campaigns.

    Parimatch, which describes itself as a global sports marketing and sponsorship company active since 1994, currently holds Official Partner status with the Joburg Super Kings in the SA20 league, as well as official partnerships with football clubs Manchester United and Leeds United. The company reports 3 million active users across its international markets, which span Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

    Technology-Driven Engagement Mechanics
    One of the more technically notable elements of the campaign is a real-time tracking mechanism that monitors match events and triggers audience notifications at key moments in the game. This kind of second-screen engagement — where technology is used to synchronise fan experience with live match action — is increasingly common across global sports marketing campaigns, reflecting how the relationship between live sports and digital engagement has evolved.

    The broader campaign also incorporates a season-long tournament structure with tiered prize events, running parallel to the cricket season in a format the company likens to an advent calendar — with new events and opportunities unlocking each day for the duration of the league.

    Cricket Remains the Centrepiece
    Whatever the regulatory complexities, the commercial magnetism of Indian cricket in the global sports marketing ecosystem shows no signs of slowing. The IPL 2026 season is expected to draw record viewership, and for international sports brands, it remains the single most powerful vehicle to reach a cricket-passionate audience at scale.

    Campaigns like Parimatch’s Festival of Winnings — illustrate how global brands are investing heavily in cricket fan engagement, and in doing so, reinforcing the sport’s unique commercial position in the world.

  • World Autism Awareness Day: Diet and Exercise key to cure Autism

    World Autism Awareness Day: Diet and Exercise key to cure Autism

    Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], April 04: Addressing reporters on the eve of World Autism Awareness Day on April 2,2026  Dr Ketan Patel of Specialty Homeopathy said that 80 percent of autism cases can be cured through diet and exercise and in 20 percent of children, medicines are also required along with diet due to metabolic and genetic reasons. 

    Homeopathy has proven to be very effective in treating in such genetic, metabolic & mitochondrial autism (Syndromic AUTISM). Genetic effects can be largely eliminated or controlled through homeopathic medicines.

    Dr Ketan Patel said that the effects of genes affecting sodium channel, potassium channel, aqua channel, epileptic, Encephalopathy, intellectual and other protein disruption can be eliminated up to 90 percent with homeopathic medicines along with diet and exercise. The research of these experts has found that only 10 percent of genes cannot be improved.

    Dr Ketan Patel further said that “The protocols for autism treatment of Western countries do not show the effect of treatment in a certain time. There is a shortage of doctors trained to treat autism in India. Therefore, it is necessary for us to improve the protocols of Western countries and formulate our own new protocols. Indian doctors are far ahead in the treatment of autism, compared to Western countries. Therefore, it is necessary for us to implement a new protocol with diet, exercise and individual treatment plan in the treatment of autism.”

    Dr Jayesh Sheth said that autism is a type of disease in which children are not mentally retarded, but due to some obstruction or disturbance in the wiring of neurons in their brain, their ability to speak and think is affected. Such a gene problem is found in 50 percent of autism cases. The earlier such children are diagnosed, the more effective the treatment and guidance is.

    Dr Patel and Dr Sheth further said that currently, doctors are providing up to Rs. 5,00,000 annually for the treatment, genetic testing and related therapy of more than 100 needy children suffering from autism. In the coming time, doctors from all branches like Allopathic, Homeopathic, Ayurvedic, who are doing treatment and research in the field of autism in Gujarat, are committed to jointly work with the therapists and bring about rapid treatment and improvement.

    1 in every 36 children born worldwide is affected by autism. This figure is considered extremely alarming, as the number of children suffering from autism is higher than the percentage of children suffering from life-threatening diseases such as cancer, diabetes and HIV worldwide.

    What is autism?

    It is a disease affecting the neurological, endocrinal, and gastrointestinal systems, diagnosed in children between the ages of 18 and 24 months and its symptoms are as follows.

    The child does not speak on time or does not speak at all cannot use sentences after speaking a few words.

    Does not make eye contact with family members such as mother, father, brother, sister.

    Does not play with children of the same age group when they are playing and prefers to go away and play alone.

    • Laughs and cries for no reason.
    • Plays with a toy, object or piece of clothing for a long time, sleeps with it.
    • Wiggles fingers, jumps, keeps moving around in one place.
    • Holds hands over ears in fear of the sound of mixers, vacuum cleaners, firecrackers.
    • Throws things and screams.
    • Hurts body with teeth, hits head against wall.

    It is advisable that if two or more of the above symptoms are observed in a child take your child to a doctor to get diagnosed with autism and get proper treatment. The earlier your child is diagnosed with autism or a similar condition, the greater the child’s chances of recovering from these symptoms.

    Scientists, doctors, universities, pharmaceutical and diagnostic companies around the world are working to diagnose autism more quickly.

    In order to make people aware of this disease, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared April 2 as World Autism Awareness Day every year and the entire month of April as Autism Awareness Month to spread awareness and information about autism. During this month, famous places around the world are decorated with blue lights. Such as Sydney Opera – Australia, Burj Khalifa – Dubai, Leaning Tower – Italy, London Bridge – UK, Pyramids of Giza – Egypt, Eiffel Tower – France (Paris) are decorated with blue lights.

    Diagnosis of autism

    This disease, which is seen in children from the age of 18 months to 30 months, cannot be detected by any single test or other medical report such as CT SCAN, MRI SCAN, PET SCAN or EEG so apart from the above report the diagnosis can be made in the following two stages.

    In the first stage, to know whether the physical and mental development of the children is happening according to their age or not, the child’s learning ability, his way of speaking, words and sentences along with his facial expressions are studied and recorded and the development rate of the children (Physical & Mental Development) is kept in mind at a certain time interval such as 12 months, 18 months or 24 months i.e. at the age of 2 years. In this above study, the diagnosis is made on the basis of the answers of scientifically prepared questionnaires to the child’s parents, his doctors and the child’s caregivers.

    The second stage is diagnosed by doctors who specialize in this disease such as a Developmental Paediatrician, Child Neurologist, Child Psychiatrist/Psychologist (specialist in child neurology and behavioural disorders), and DAN (Defeat Autism Now) doctors.

    Causes of autism spectrum disorder

    Doctors and scientists around the world are trying to find out the causes of this disease but have not been able to come up with a specific cause. However based on the medical history records of old cases/new cases and the similarities and differences in them, they have come to the following conclusions.

    • Chronic infection in the mother’s body that affects the mental development of the child during pregnancy, such as Torch Infection.
    • Hormonal imbalance due to the endocrine gland in the mother, thyroid deficiency.
    • Pollution in the atmosphere, pollution in drinking water

    Genetic disorder

The curriculum moves beyond conventional classroom instruction, integrating applied learning, interdisciplinary exposure, and industry relevance into its core structure. This shift signals a broader institutional transition towards practical learning.

    A key component of this differentiation lies in its specialised Centres of Excellence. The Centre for Innovation & Entrepreneurship allows students to engage with business ideas at an early stage, which encourages experiments, structured thinking, and venture development. In parallel, the Digital Business & Marketing Centre of Excellence addresses the growing importance of digital ecosystems, offering exposure to analytics, consumer insights, and technology-driven business strategies.

    The institute’s academic model is further reinforced through practical project labs. Designed to simulate live business environments, these labs require students to work on practical challenges, often in collaboration with industry stakeholders. The emphasis is on problem-solving, decision-making, and adaptability, skills that extend learning beyond theoretical constructs.

    SCMS Bengaluru has developed a startup and incubation support ecosystem that enables students to test and refine entrepreneurial ideas. Through mentorship, peer collaboration, and access to networks, learners are encouraged to build solutions that respond to real market needs. This integrated approach reflects the institute’s focus on nurturing independent thinking and innovation.

    With a competitive intake and growing demand, the programme continues to attract applicants seeking a balance between academic grounding and industry exposure. The structured selection process is designed to identify candidates who demonstrate both analytical ability and the potential to thrive in dynamic business contexts.

    SCMS B academic approach is centred on relevance and adaptability. By integrating Centres of Excellence, applied learning formats, and industry-linked exposure, we aim to create a learning space that prepares students for long-term professional growth.

    Positioned at the intersection of academic rigour and practical exposure, SCMS Bengaluru offers a learning environment that allows students to build strong business fundamentals while gaining early industry insight. Graduates from the programme can explore career across consulting, marketing, startups, and digital business domains.

    The admission process follows a defined schedule, with SET 2026 to be conducted in May, followed by shortlisting and subsequent evaluation rounds. The rising interest in undergraduate management education, the institute has seen increasing applicant traction in recent cycles, reflecting its expanding academic footprint and positioning within the higher education space.

    If you’re looking for a programme that blends classroom learning with practical experience, register for the Symbiosis Entrance Test (SET) before 15th April and complete your SCMS Bengaluru registration by 21 May 2026.
