  • Revolutionizing Baby Care: A Step into Eco-conscious Future of Diaper Technology

    Revolutionizing Baby Care: A Step into Eco-conscious Future of Diaper Technology

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 10: Making a shift towards conscious living and sustainability, Swara Baby Products Pvt. Ltd. has introduced a first-of-its-kind technology in India – a diaper technology that significantly cuts down the use of conventional wood pulp, thus contributing towards preserving trees. Presently, this diaper technology is used in the brand Baby Hug Pro.

    Wood pulp, one of the key elements in manufacturing a diaper, comes from trees like pine and spruce. The innovative design that Swara has introduced reduces wood pulp usage from 100% to approximately 7%. This massive drop is a game-changer in the baby care manufacturing industry and a noteworthy step towards prevention of deforestation. All claims are based on product research/testing, certifications, and industry best practices. Consumers are encouraged to reach out to us if any further details are required. 

    By reducing the use of traditional tree-based material with sustainability as the objective, the company aims to minimize its carbon footprint and preserving natural resources. “Every year, millions of trees are cut down to produce diapers. Our goal is to challenge this norm and offer a diaper that is not only designed for safety but also responsible for the planet,” a Swara spokesperson said.

    Further, this technology creates a diaper, feeling almost like like a garment. One can say that this diaper is similar to a sanitary napkin. It is notable because unlike bulky traditional diapers, these allow babies and toddlers to move freely, promoting better physical development and posture support. According to some studies, bulky diapers can sometimes restrict movement, potentially impacting motor skill development in infants and toddlers. Swara’s design ensures that babies can crawl, walk, and play without discomfort while still benefiting from tested absorption and dryness levels.

    Swara Baby Products Pvt Ltd is the first in India to receive BIS certification for its diaper quality and safety standards. Raising the bar, Swara’s diapers are tested and certified to be free from harmful chemicals, ensuring they are safe for sensitive baby skin. It has been accredited with OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification which authenticates its superior quality and skin-friendly products.

    “Parents today are more conscious of what goes on their baby’s skin. So brands are also looking for safe, tested alternatives while also contributing to a greener planet. This is exactly what we offer” said a senior product developer at Swara.

    Swara’s initiative is setting a precedent for the baby care industry, proving that innovation and sustainability can go hand in hand. As the brand continues to push boundaries, it offers a vision of a future where baby products leave a lighter footprint on the Earth.

  • The Centrum Lucknow Gears Up for MS Dhoni’s CSK After Mumbai Indians Grand Welcome

    The Centrum Lucknow Gears Up for MS Dhoni’s CSK After Mumbai Indians Grand Welcome

    Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], April 9: IPL giant Mumbai Indians were recently given a grand and culturally rich welcome at Lucknow’s iconic five-star hotel, The Centrum. Traditional itar, fresh garlands, and mesmerizing Kathak dance performances set the tone for a Nawabi-style reception that showcased the cultural elegance of the city.

    As the Mumbai Indians team arrived at The Centrum in early April, hotel staff greeted them with waving flags at the porch and uplifting Sitar and Tabla notes that created an unforgettable first impression. Once inside the lobby, rose petals showered from above, Mogra flower bracelets were tied, and live Kathak performances added grace and grandeur to the arrival ceremony.

    To elevate the welcome even further, a lavish cricket-themed refreshment spread awaited the team in the lobby. As a unique twist, each player was served a tender coconut embossed with the Mumbai Indians logo, setting the tone for an experience blending luxury with creativity. The team was in town to play against the Lucknow Super Giants on April 4 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, a match that saw the home side clinch a 12-run win.

    Throughout their stay, Mumbai Indians enjoyed top-tier hospitality with specially curated menus, planned with input from the team’s management. A grand breakfast buffet included fresh juices like ABC (Apple-Beetroot-Carrot) with ginger, coconut water, avocado toast, salads, and a cage-free egg counter serving sunny side ups, over-easy eggs, poached eggs, and spicy Parsi-style Akuri. Other offerings included imported cheeses, assorted meat cuts, flavored yogurt, and smoothies with chia seeds and berries. To offer a taste of Awadh, the traditional Nalli Nihari served with sheermal was included. A live flute performance added a soulful touch to the morning meal.

    Dinner was no less extravagant. The spread featured New Zealand lamb chops with polenta, pan-seared fish, crispy baked chicken, char-grilled asparagus with parmesan shavings, quinoa with maple dressing, Udon noodles tossed in Kung Pao sauce, and Thai curry with jasmine rice. The chefs also ensured the team got a taste of the city’s legendary kebabs—Galawat with Ulta Tawa Paratha, Raan-e-Akbari, and Shammi. Desserts like Tiramisu, Shahi Tukda, and Malai Kulfi were followed by traditional meetha paan, rounding off the royal experience. Arjun Tendulkar, player for Mumbai Indians and son of cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar, was reportedly a fan of the hotel’s signature biryani.

    Now, all eyes turn toward MS Dhoni and the Chennai Super Kings, who are expected to be the next high-profile guests at The Centrum. The city eagerly awaits the arrival of Thala Dhoni and his team, who will face off against Lucknow Super Giants on April 19. The Centrum is expected to recreate its signature Nawabi hospitality for the yellow brigade, much like it did for MI.

    With five more IPL matches to be hosted at the Ekana Stadium, teams including Gujarat Titans, Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Sunrisers Hyderabad will be seen in action on April 12, April 14, April 22, May 9, and May 18, respectively.

    The Centrum has previously played host during marquee events like the G20 Summit, Global Investors Summit, and the grand Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha Ceremony, making it the preferred address for luxury, culture, and class in Lucknow.

    The Centrum Lucknow
    Arjun, the son of the legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar shared his Biryani Status on Instagram

    “We take immense pride in hosting our esteemed guests — whether it was during the G20 Summit, the ICC Cricket World Cup, or the current IPL teams like Mumbai Indians. Our commitment has always been to deliver world-class hospitality infused with the rich cultural essence of Lucknow,” said Sarvesh Goel, Chairman of Mansingh Goel Group and Promoter of The Centrum, during a brief interaction with the media.

    Built in 2021 under the visionary leadership of Sarvesh Goel, Chairman of the Mansingh Goel Group and promoter of The Centrum, the hotel stands as a glowing symbol of “Vocal for Local.” Every element used in the hotel’s construction and décor holds local significance, making it not just a hotel, but a living embodiment of Lucknow’s soul.

    Sarvesh Goel, who has also stepped into filmmaking through his banner AND Productions for Bollywood film production, is known for his growing celebrity connections and cultural engagements beyond hospitality.

    A proud product of PM Modi’s Make in India campaign and a successor of the UP Investor Summit 2018, The Centrum boasts 162 rooms, suites, and villas. It is home to three fine-dining restaurants, four state-of-the-art boardrooms, and multiple banquet and lawn venues, ideal for both intimate and large-scale events.

    The Centrum is a flagship lifestyle venture by Anahita Hospitality LLP under the Mansingh Goel Group, which also has diversified interests in education, agriculture, rice milling, cold storage, brickfields, coal, and food grain trading across Uttar Pradesh.

    As the stage sets for Dhoni and his team to arrive in Lucknow, one thing is certain—The Centrum is ready to welcome CSK in true Nawabi style.

    New Delhi [India], April 10: AppX has officially exited all creator-led businesses, including its investment in the popular YouTube channel Science and Fun.

    AppX has divested its stakes, enabling a smooth exit for five major educational YouTube channels, including Science and Fun, ISAC, Theory of Physics, BioGuru, and Physics by Pankaj Sir, reaching millions of subscribers.

    This strategic move is aimed at strengthening the company’s focus on B2B services, ensuring neutrality, and eliminating potential conflicts of interest in the industry.

    “As we grow more into the B2B realm with creators, we have decided to cut off all our investments from the creator space. We are ending this on a very good note with all the creators, however, we believe there is a lot of room for growth in the B2B segment for us, and we want to maintain our neutrality in this domain.” – Sameer Sadana, CEO of AppX.

    Background

    Over the past decade, the creator economy has witnessed a significant shift, with many YouTubers expanding beyond ad revenue to monetize their expertise through premium content such as online courses. Recognizing this evolving trend, AppX played a pivotal role in enabling creators to scale their ventures by providing essential financial and operational support.

    To facilitate this transition, AppX offered initial capital to YouTubers, covering critical aspects such as Course Production, Hiring Teams, Managing Operations, Office Setup and Technology Infrastructure. AppX would retain a stake in course revenue and the YouTube channels in exchange for this, offering creators financial support while managing business complexities, allowing them to focus on high-value content.

    Why AppX Decided to Exit the Creator Investment Space?

    • Competitor Concerns – As AppX invested in YouTube channels, some B2B partners raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest, despite the company maintaining ethical business practices.
    • Strengthening Neutrality – To ensure industry-wide trust and maintain an unbiased position, AppX made the strategic decision to step away from direct creator investments.
    • Clearer Business Focus – B2B solutions provide greater scalability and align more effectively with AppX’s long-term vision for sustainable growth and innovation.

    Seamless Transition, Stronger Future

    As of April 2025, AppX is completing its divestment from five major YouTube education channels, refocusing entirely on B2B growth. This move allows AppX to innovate in digital solutions while ensuring that creators regain full control of their content and revenue.

    • Science and Fun – Engaging science content for all ages and k-12 students.
    • ISAC NMS – In-depth iit jee education.
    • BioGuru – Comprehensive biology education for Neet.
    • Physics by Pankaj Sir – High-quality physics instruction for regional boards.

    AppX facilitated a smooth divestment, enabling creators to regain full ownership and scale independently. With no disruption to content or engagement, this move reinforced AppX’s commitment to a responsible exit. Now fully focused on B2B solutions, AppX is driving innovation to support businesses and creators, marking a new phase of growth.

    What’s Next for AppX?

    As AppX transitions to a fully B2B model, it aims to be a leading technology partner for creators, educators, and businesses. The focus is on custom mobile apps, SEO-optimized websites, and scalable learning platforms with AI-driven engagement, secure payments, and advanced analytics. By embracing B2B, AppX is driving innovation, fostering trust-based partnerships, and shaping the future of digital content and online education.

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 10: The ethereal voice that has long echoed through the corridors of spiritual devotion and musical excellence, Preety Bhalla, returns with her latest offering, “Fakiri,” a soul-stirring symphony for seekers of light, truth, and transcendence.

This unique mix appeals to both modern youth and lovers of timeless classics who cherish depth, devotion, and rich musical heritage, bridging generations through rhythm and wisdom.

    With celestial melodies entwined with Preety Bhalla’s mesmerising vocals, Fakiri transports listeners into a realm where the self dissolves, and only love remains. The lyrics, steeped in mysticism and longing, echo the teachings of the great Sufi saints, where the annihilation of ego births the true awakening. It is a ballad of divine madness, of losing oneself only to be found by the Beloved.

    Speaking of her latest creation, Preety Bhalla shares, “Fakiri is a feeling, a way of life. It is my humble tribute to the path of divine love, of living beyond material illusions, and embracing the ecstatic truth of the soul’s journey”_

    From the first note to the last breath of the track, Fakiri unfurls like a silken prayer – powerful, gentle, and profound. This musical sanctum resonates with the fragrance of Ishq-e-Haqiqi (divine love)
