    Arpita Sharma: Redefining Global Architecture with Purpose, Precision, and Empathy

    New Delhi [India], August 14: Arpita Sharma is the rising force in global architecture, celebrated for her emotionally evocative, conceptually driven, and holistically designed spaces. At just 22, she founded her boutique studio, Atelier Astil, with the goal of creating environments that go beyond form and function to tell stories, spark emotion, and support well-being.

    Arpita’s portfolio reflects a comprehensive, 360-degree design philosophy, spanning ultra-luxury homes, signature commercial spaces, blissful cafes, imaginative schools, and immersive restaurants. Whether crafting a serene villa with panoramic views of Dubai’s skyline, designing a richly layered residence in New Delhi, or creating a standout heritage barber shop in one of Amsterdam’s lost cultural districts, Arpita’s work is unified by purpose, precision, and sensory detail.

    Intuitive and highly collaborative, Arpita engages deeply with each client, particularly High Net-Worth Individuals across India, UAE, Europe, UK and beyond. Her approach blends narrative, context, and materiality into immersive spaces that are not just visually elegant, but emotionally intelligent and personally tailored.

    As principal architect of Atelier Astil, Arpita leads every project with hands on involvement, ensuring creative clarity and design integrity throughout. Known for her ability to turn abstract visions into spatial realities, Arpita empowering clients to become storytellers of their own space.

    Outside her practice, Arpita is passionately committed to mentoring the next generation of designers.

These humanitarian efforts reflect her belief that good design should be empowering, inclusive, and regenerative.

    Arpita’s advocacy for sustainability and animal welfare is not an accessory to her work—it’s a core value. Arpita seamlessly integrates ecological responsibility and ethical practices into her design process, aligning luxury with consciousness at every scale.

  • Shaping Future-Ready Learners: The Vision Behind VIBGYOR WORLD ACADEMY

    Shaping Future-Ready Learners: The Vision Behind VIBGYOR WORLD ACADEMY

    New Delhi [India], August 14: Driven by a vision to offer world-class education, the VIBGYOR Group of Schools continues to lead India’s K–12 landscape with innovation and purpose. Established by Founder Chairman Rustom Kerawalla, the Group celebrated 20 years of academic excellence in 2024 and continues to redefine the schooling experience for thousands of students across India. In its 20th year, VIBGYOR took a step further and announced the launch of VIBGYOR World Academy — powered by the globally recognised Cambridge curriculum.

    The Cambridge International Education (CIE), a part of the University of Cambridge, is the world’s largest provider of international qualifications for 3 to 19-year-olds. From global icons like Stephen Hawking to Jawaharlal Nehru, Cambridge boasts a legacy of remarkable alumni. Inspired by this prestigious heritage, the VIBGYOR Group of Schools introduced the distinguished Cambridge Pathway to India’s rapidly growing cities.

    Over the past two decades, VIBGYOR has earned the trust of thousands of parents through a consistent commitment to quality education, innovation, and holistic development. It is with that same spirit that VIBGYOR World Academy, a premium new offering, was announced in Nagpur and Bhopal.

    Why VIBGYOR World Academy?

    Over the years, the K12 education landscape in India and the aspirations of parents have undergone dynamic changes. In response to these expectations, the need to offer a globally aligned education and facilities was recognised. An education that nurtures learners not just with theoretical concepts but with skills that will benefit them for life.

    VIBGYOR World Academy is designed exclusively as a Cambridge-affiliated institution, offering the Cambridge Pathway — a global curriculum that promotes deep understanding, independent thinking, and a strong academic foundation. More importantly, the curriculum encourages students to ask questions, challenge ideas, and develop a global mindset —qualities that are vital in preparing them for future success.

    Sharing his thoughts on the same, Founder Chairman Rustom Kerawalla said, “The launch of VIBGYOR World Academy is more than just an expansion; it’s a forward-thinking initiative aligned with a global vision. By introducing the Cambridge International Curriculum, we are committed to shaping future-ready citizens with critical thinking and problem-solving skills that meet global standards. This step reinforces Nagpur and Bhopal’s growing role as an educational hub, poised to foster a global exchange of ideas and innovation.”

    The Cambridge education also aligns beautifully with VIBGYOR’s belief in inquiry-based, student-led learning. It supports intellectual rigour without compromising on creativity and critical thinking. It’s a curriculum that doesn’t just teach students what to learn but how to learn, understand and implement concepts.

    Bhopal and Nagpur are rapidly emerging, and VIBGYOR viewed this as an opportunity to bring something truly world-class to these regions. The campuses in both cities reflect a commitment to provide thoughtfully designed learning spaces, cutting-edge infrastructure, and a tech-enabled environment, which makes learning hands-on, collaborative and multi-dimensional for students.

    From early years to advanced levels, the Cambridge Pathway offers flexibility and breadth, allowing students to explore subjects deeply while developing skills that are transferable across disciplines and geographies. This global education offering comes at a crucial time as the 21st century demands adaptability, cross-cultural competence and ethical leadership to thrive.

    Looking Ahead

    In a world that is increasingly uncertain and fast-changing, the aim is to create safe, inclusive, and stimulating environments where students lead and embrace technology, practice sustainability and become agents of change in their communities and beyond. As always, Rustom Kerawalla remains committed to innovation, integrity, and excellence in education.

  • GFE Group Launches Strategic Export Diversification Plan to Strengthen India’s Global Trade Position

    GFE Group Launches Strategic Export Diversification Plan to Strengthen India’s Global Trade Position

    Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], August 14: In a decisive move to safeguard India’s export growth amid the uncertainty of potential Trump Tariff changes in the US, GFE Group has launched an ambitious India Export Diversification Plan. Aligned with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Local to Global” and “Aatmanirbhar Bharat” vision, the initiative aims to open new global markets and reduce over-dependence on any single economy.

    For decades, the US has been one of India’s largest export destinations. However, evolving trade policies and proposed tariff changes have created challenges for exporters. GFE’s strategy addresses these risks by expanding India’s presence in emerging and high-growth markets.

    Strategic Leadership and Global Outreach

    At the forefront is CMD Mr. Vaibhav Sharma, a seasoned trade strategist with over two decades of experience. Recently, he led a multi-nation trade mission to Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Maldives, and Sri Lanka, meeting government trade bodies, importers, distributors, and industry leaders to identify opportunities in:

    • Agriculture & Food Processing: Spices, rice, fruits & vegetables, processed foods
    • Engineering Goods: Machinery, industrial components, auto parts
    • Textiles & Apparel: Garments, fabrics, home textiles
    • Gems & Jewellery: Imitation jewellery, handcrafted items, gemstones
    • Marine Products: Frozen seafood, value-added fish products

    Mr. Sharma said, “The diversity and quality of Indian products make them globally competitive. Policies like RoDTEP, EPCG, and ODOP can directly connect India’s smallest producers to the world’s largest markets. Our role is to bridge that gap with expertise, infrastructure, and trust.”

    Global Trade Acceleration Program – A 360° Solution

    GFE’s flagship Global Trade Acceleration Program (GTAP) offers end-to-end exporter support:

    • Export Finance: Trade finance, factoring, payment security
    • Marketing & Buyer Links: Verified global buyer connections
    • Logistics & Warehousing: Shipping, consolidation, distribution
    • Quality Control & Compliance: Meeting international standards

    With expanded warehousing and cold-storage in Dubai, Malaysia, and Vietnam, GFE ensures faster distribution and a competitive edge for Indian products.

    Trump Tariff Backup Plan – Reducing Risk, Expanding Horizons

    The plan reduces reliance on the US by building networks in the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia, and Europe. Benefits include:

    • Securing foreign exchange by diversifying markets
    • Boosting resilience during trade disputes
    • Empowering rural and semi-urban entrepreneurs
    • Generating jobs through expanded production

    Mr. Sharma added, “India’s export story is about leading with strength. The Trump Tariff issue reinforces the need for a wide, connected trade network.”

    Empowering Farmers, Artisans & MSMEs

    GFE connects grassroots producers directly with overseas buyers by:

    • Organizing export readiness training across India
    • Providing market intelligence reports
    • Offering complete logistics solutions from packing to customs clearance

    By combining policy advantages with private sector expertise, GFE ensures even the smallest exporters can compete globally.

    Expanding Partner Network for Local & Global Growth

    GFE has strengthened its presence with new Partner Offices in Bareilly (with Mr. Amit Ji) and Kolkata (with Mr. Vikash Ji) to serve Eastern India markets. These offices will help more entrepreneurs start domestic and international ventures, tapping local markets for inquiries and walk-ins while connecting them to global buyers.

    This expansion reflects GFE’s commitment to fostering partnerships and creating business opportunities for individuals and companies alike — a step towards continuous growth locally and globally.

    India’s Export Future – A Shared Vision

    More than a business initiative, this plan contributes to strengthening India’s position in the global economy. With strong on-ground presence in multiple countries, robust infrastructure, and a commitment to safe, transparent, and profitable trade, GFE Group is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping India’s export future.
