    Vedanta Lanjigarh Lights Up Rural Kalahandi through Clean Energy Initiatives

    Bhubaneswar (Odisha) [India], October 24: Vedanta Aluminium, India’s largest producer of aluminium, in a significant step towards strengthening rural infrastructure and promoting sustainable community development, has undertaken two major clean energy initiatives – Project Roshan and Project Jyoti – to light up both public spaces and homes through solar-powered solutions. Through these initiatives, Vedanta aims to enhance safety, mobility, and overall quality of life across its peripheral villages in Lanjigarh with clean and renewable energy-based lighting solutions.

    Under Project Roshan, Vedanta Aluminium’s Lanjigarh unit is installing 310 solar-powered streetlights, including 250 normal units and 60 high-mast lights, across peripheral communities, benefitting over 15,000 residents in rural Kalahandi. In the first phase, 91 units (76 normal and 15 high-mast lights) have already been installed across 25 community locations, illuminating the lives of more than 5,000 people.

    Complementing this effort, Project Jyoti focuses on delivering solar home lights to households in remote villages facing unreliable electricity supply. So far, Vedanta has successfully covered 398 households across eight villages on a convergence basis, and plans to extend the initiative to eight more villages, targeting an overall distribution of 1,500 solar home lights.

    Speaking about the initiative, Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya, CEO – Vedanta Alumina Business, said, “At Vedanta Lanjigarh, we believe that the transition to clean energy must begin at the community level. Project Roshan and Project Jyoti embody our belief that true progress lies in sustainable development. By illuminating villages with solar energy, we are improving safety, encouraging social participation, and supporting the region’s clean energy goals. It is a small step in technology but a giant leap for community wellbeing.”

    The solar installations have brought a visible transformation to community life—ensuring safer roads, enhanced security for women and children, extended market and activity hours after sunset, and reduced dependence on conventional electricity—while advancing renewable energy adoption and sustainable infrastructure in rural Kalahandi.

    Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Project Roshan contributes directly to SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 13 (Climate Action). By harnessing solar energy to light villages, the initiative reinforces Vedanta Lanjigarh’s commitment to renewable energy adoption, environmental stewardship, and building resilient rural infrastructure.

    Through initiatives like these, Vedanta Lanjigarh continues to empower local communities, strengthen rural infrastructure, and promote sustainable livelihoods. By integrating clean energy solutions with community development, the company contributes meaningfully to Odisha’s inclusive growth journey, making Lanjigarh a model of sustainable, community-centric progress that aligns business purpose with societal wellbeing.

  • From Humble Beginnings to Hospitality Innovation: The Inspiring Journey of Bag2Bag Hotels and Homes

    From Humble Beginnings to Hospitality Innovation: The Inspiring Journey of Bag2Bag Hotels and Homes

    New Delhi [India], October 24: Every journey begins with a spark that ignites a dream. For the founders of Bag2Bag Hotels and Homes, that spark came from a deeply personal experience: the frustration and uncertainty of finding flexible, reliable accommodations while traveling. The roadblocks weren’t just about availability or affordability, they were about flexibility and convenience.  Travelers often found themselves juggling multiple apps, calling hotels, or settling for options that didn’t meet their needs. From this challenge grew a vision to make travel accommodations effortless, flexible, and accessible for everyone, regardless of purpose, duration, or budget. What began as a small, heartfelt idea has now grown into an accommodation booking platform, transforming stays across India and redefining how travelers experience hospitality.

    Turning Challenges into Opportunities

    The pandemic brought the world to a standstill, and travel came to a near halt. For most, it was a time of uncertainty, stress, and pause. For Bag2Bag, countless challenges emerged: from securing partnerships with hesitant hotel owners to designing a technology-driven platform that could deliver flexibility and safety. Every step required persistence. There were late nights, repeated trials, and moments of doubt, but the small team pressed on. Slowly, small wins began to appear. More hotel partners onboarded, many seamless booking completed, and started getting positive user feedback from the users. Each win, no matter how small, reinforced their belief that Bag2Bag could bridge the gap between traveler needs and what the market traditionally offered.

    A Platform That Puts Users First

    Bag2Bag is more than just a booking platform, it is a trusted companion for every traveler. The team understood early on that travelers’ needs are not uniform. Some require an hourly stay to rest between meetings, layovers, while others seek longer stays to explore a city at leisure. From budget hotels to premium stays, homestays, serviced apartments, and resorts, Bag2Bag ensures that every option is available on a single, easy-to-use platform.

    The platform is powered by AI-driven personalization, with AI-Bano, the intelligent assistant, guiding users toward the perfect stay. But technology is only one part of the story. Each feature was born from real-world travel challenges, pain points observed and insights from partner hotels. The result is a platform that is not only fast and convenient but also empathetic, understanding, and responsive to the needs of its users.

    Founders with a Vision

    At the heart of Bag2Bag are founders driven by purpose, resilience, and a passion for creating lasting impact. Their mission is simple but profound: empower travelers, support partners, and redefine hospitality through innovation and trust.

    Every milestone reached, from securing the first hotel partnership to delighting the first hundred users, represents not just growth but a story of perseverance. There were moments of uncertainty, moments when the vision seemed distant, and moments when risks felt daunting. Yet, these experiences became lessons that shaped its identity. The founders believed in creating a platform that makes accommodations not just easier to book but more joyful, flexible, and meaningful for everyone who uses it.

    Today, Bag2Bag proudly operates in over 100+ cities , with more than 10,000 properties across India, bringing flexible, reliable, and rewarding stays to travelers everywhere.

    Turning Experiences into Stories

    Bag2Bag has built a community where users are not just customers, they are storytellers. Every stay shared, every recommendation given, contributes to a collective culture of confidence and encouragement in travel. From business travelers to families, couples, and solo explorers, Bag2Bag ensures that every journey is seamless, safe, and memorable. As part of its efforts to give back to its travelers, Bag2Bag launched the #HotelHoLenaBag2BagKarLena campaign, offering users the chance to enjoy 2 free nights stays, turning memorable experiences into even more joy. Beyond this, Bag2Bag continues to delight users with a variety of seasonal offers, FREE 11th stay offer, weekend discounts, membership benefits, and credit points that can be redeemed on future bookings, making every stay not just convenient but rewarding.

    The Human Side of Innovation

    Behind every feature, every partnership, and every booking lies a human story. Bag2Bag’s AI-driven platform, instant bookings, and flexible stays are all designed with empathy. The team listens to users, learns from experiences, and continuously evolves to meet changing needs. What started as a vision to simplify travel has grown into a movement that places people first, whether it’s providing a safe stay during uncertain times or offering the freedom to book a room by the hour.

    The founders’ journey itself is a testament to resilience, adaptability, and the belief that hospitality can be reimagined. Their story reminds us that innovation is not just about technology, it’s about understanding real human needs and creating solutions that make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

    About Bag2Bag Hotels and Homes

    Bag2Bag Hotels and Homes is India’s pioneering flexible hotel accommodation platform, offering accommodations for a few hours, overnight, or long stays.
