Perched on the beachfront of Radisson Blu Resort Galle, Yazu’s first outpost outside India brings bold Pan-Asian flavours, an innovative beverage programme to Sri Lanka’s southern coast ocean 

Galle [Sri Lanka], May 12: Yazu, India’s premium Pan-Asian dining and lifestyle destination, today announced the opening of Yazu Galle, its first restaurant outside India at the Radisson Blu Resort Galle, Sri Lanka. Marking a defining milestone in the brand’s journey, Yazu Galle brings together authentic Japanese, Thai, and Cantonese cuisine, a boundary-pushing beverage programme, and an architectural experience unlike anything on the island’s dining landscape.

Positioned on the beachfront of one of Sri Lanka’s most iconic coastal destinations, Yazu Galle is both a homecoming and an arrival, a brand built on precision and craft, now finding its international expression against the backdrop of the Indian Ocean.

Founded by Ranbir Singh Nagpal and Atul Chopra, Yazu began in India with a singular vision: to deliver a Pan-Asian dining experience rooted in authenticity, technique, and modern expression. With successful outposts across Mumbai, Goa, Indore, Chandigarh, and Bangalore, the brand has steadily built a loyal following drawn to its seamless marriage of food, beverage, ambience, and energy.

Yazu Galle is the brand’s boldest expression yet. Set at the Radisson Blu Resort Galle at 523C Colombo Road, Ginthota, the restaurant represents Yazu’s first foray beyond Indian shores, a step that reflects both the brand’s maturity and its ambition to compete on a global stage.

“Our entry into Sri Lanka with Yazu Galle marks a defining milestone for the brand as we take our first step beyond India. Galle, with its unique blend of cultural depth and global appeal, offers the perfect setting for our international debut. With Yazu, we aim to introduce a refined Pan-Asian dining experience that seamlessly brings together authenticity, innovation, and high-energy hospitality — creating a destination that resonates with both global travellers and the evolving local audience.”

— Ranbir Singh Nagpal, Founder & CEO, Yazu Hospitality

An Architectural Experience: Where the Ocean Meets Asian Craft

Designed by acclaimed designer Sumessh Menon, the Yazu Galle space is a tropical Asian haven of rare beauty. The restaurant occupies an ocean-facing, sandy arena within the Radisson Blu Resort property, a beachfront setting that is at once dramatic and intimate.

Menon’s design language draws from the imagery of an authentic, nonchalant food spot in a rural part of Asia — earthy, warm, and entirely at ease with its surroundings. An imposing prefabricated timber structure anchors the space, with natural wood and woven cane elements dominating throughout. Custom-made cane pendant lamps wrapped with jute fibre and wooden beads hang above with commanding presence. The solid wood entrance door, etched with precision through CNC machining, is a work of art in its own right.

From elevated semi-private seating to soft, wave-like booth alcoves, the dining spaces offer a cocoon-like intimacy that belies the grandeur of the architecture. Yazu Galle is at once striking and serene, a space designed for long evenings, unhurried conversation, and the kind of dining that becomes memory.

“At Yazu, our focus has always been on creating a dining experience that is both refined and relevant to today’s audience. With Yazu Galle, we bring together authentic Pan-Asian flavours and a vibrant atmosphere in a setting that naturally complements the brand. Sri Lanka is an exciting market for us, and this marks an important step in expanding Yazu’s footprint while staying true to our core philosophy.”

— Atul Chopra, Partner, Yazu Hospitality

The Menu: Pan-Asian Mastery, Reimagined for the Coast

At the heart of Yazu Galle is a menu that reads like a culinary journey across Asia, one that has been thoughtfully reinterpreted through the lens of Galle’s coastal freshness and Sri Lankan terroir. Under the culinary direction of Chef Ranjan Thapa, the kitchen operates across multiple disciplines simultaneously, each executed with the precision the Yazu name demands.

The World of Sushi is a chapter unto itself, spanning Classic Nigiri, Aburi Nigiri (flame-seared tableside), and Sashimi, with premium cuts including Norwegian Salmon, Hamachi (Yellow Tail), Japanese Grilled Eel (Unagi), and the prized Blue Fin Tuna Chu-Toro. 

Signature Maki Rolls range from the inventive Yazu Watermelon Roll to the indulgent Ocean Platters, which bring together the best of the sushi counter in a single, curated spread.

The Dim Sum programme spans Cantonese classics and contemporary creations with equal confidence: Experience Dim Sum Basket, the chef’s own selection of the kitchen’s finest, served in a single bamboo steamer. 

The Hot Stone Grill brings robata-inspired theatre to the table: Grilled Miso Black Cod, Jumbo Prawn with Thai herb sweet chilli, Australian Lamb Chops in Korean Gochujang sauce, and the standout Guy Kushi, Wagyu beef skewers glazed with Hibachi sauce — each grilled to order with a precision that honours the ingredient. For the larger table, the Aromatic Peking Duck, slow-cooked, carved, and served with thin pancakes and condiments, is Yazu Galle’s most ceremonial dish, and rightly so.

The Beverage Edit: Japanese Precision Meets Tropical Indulgence

Inspired by the rhythm of the coast, the Yazu Galle beverage menu, led by Sudesh Suvarna, is conceived to bridge Japanese precision with the laid-back energy of Galle.

The mocktail menu is thoughtful  & features drinks like Heat Check, spicy, zesty, and refreshing with a citrus kick, and Mock Penzi, fruity, tangy, and refreshing with a herbal twist.

A Partnership Built on Shared Vision

The Radisson Blu Resort Galle, with a long-standing reputation as one of Sri Lanka’s southern coast’s most celebrated luxury destinations, aligns naturally with Yazu’s positioning as a brand that refuses to compromise on setting or experience.

Talking about the partnership, Bob Kundanmal, Chairman, Sino Lanka Hotels Holding Ltd, said, “We are delighted to partner with Yazu Hospitality to bring this exceptional Pan-Asian concept to Radisson Blu Resort Galle. Sri Lanka has always embraced diverse culinary experiences, and Yazu’s refined approach, combined with its strong brand identity, adds a new dimension to our dining offerings. We are confident that Yazu Galle will set a new benchmark in the region, enhancing the resort’s positioning as a premier lifestyle and dining destination on the southern coast.”

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], May 12: In a development that marks a meaningful step in the understanding of human emotions, Nihilent Ltd has secured a patent for its emotion detection framework from the South African Patent Office, marking a pivotal step in transforming how human emotions are understood, interpreted, and measured.

• Patent recognition validates a structured, measurable approach to understanding human emotions
• Emoscape’s innovation bridges ancient Indian wisdom and modern AI-driven emotional analytics

The patented framework represents an integrated approach to understanding human emotions, combining foundational principles drawn from the Natyashastra’s Navarasa with extensive research, clinical insights, and proprietary AI and machine learning models. While the Navarasa provides a structured lens into how emotions manifest within the human body, the innovation lies in translating these principles into a scientifically developed, measurable, and scalable system through sustained research and collaboration with clinicians, psychiatrists, and psychologists.

This integrated framework enables the detection of emotion at its source, capturing it at the point of first manifestation in the body, before it is shaped by expression, language, or behaviour, thereby establishing emotion as a foundational signal that influences downstream human outcomes.

Commenting on the milestone, Mr. L.C. Singh, Founder and Executive Chairman of Nihilent Ltd., said: “Emotion sits deeper than expression, it shapes how we perceive, decide, and act. It exists upstream of behaviour, decisions, and even thought. What we have built is a system that allows emotion to be understood as a measurable human signal. This is only the beginning of how it can be applied across contexts.”

The patented framework serves as the foundation of Emoscape, Nihilent’s flagship medical-grade emotion AI platform. Emoscape enables the objective detection and interpretation of human emotions through a precise one-minute, non-invasive interaction, requiring no sensors or wearables. Using a standard web camera, it analyses subtle upper-body micro-movements to derive an individual’s emotional state, translating them into a structured emotional profile. This establishes an objective method for assessing human emotions that is independent of cultural context, language, and subjective interpretation.

Its medical-grade positioning is supported by distinct clinical and academic efforts. A validation study conducted with professors and psychiatrists from the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS) ecosystem focuses on establishing Emoscape’s ability to objectively determine emotional states. The manuscript has been submitted to the Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE) and is currently under review, with expected indexing on PubMed. Separately, a published, Scopus-indexed study with the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS), an apex body overseeing over 600 medical institutions, established Emoscape as an objective method for identifying and measuring human emotions.

Emotion as a new vital – now measurable through Emoscape.

Emoscape is already being used across clinical environments, including hospitals, as well as in high-performance settings such as sports, education, and corporate ecosystems, where it is being adopted as a measurable vital, enabling earlier risk identification, more precise decision-making, and improved human outcomes.

nSEPIA, powered by Emoscape, extends these capabilities into everyday use, enabling individuals to recognise, understand, and act on their emotional state in real time through targeted, scientifically grounded interventions, with the goal of maintaining emotional balance.

The patent further reinforces Nihilent’s position in building a unified emotional awareness layer across contexts, making emotion a measurable and actionable input across industries.

Nihilent is now preparing for a global rollout of both Emoscape and nSEPIA in the coming months, bringing real-time emotional awareness to individuals through nSEPIA, while Emoscape establishes emotion as a new measurable vital, across clinical, performance, and organisational contexts globally, together forming a unified emotional awareness layer across contexts, and redefining how individuals perceive, measure, and engage with emotions in a digitally connected world.

About Nihilent

Nihilent is a global consulting, products and solutions company specializing in business transformation, digital innovation, data analytics and technology solutions. Founded in 2000, it operates across multiple countries, helping organisations enhance efficiency, decision-making, and customer experience.

At the intersection of technology and human behaviour, Nihilent has developed Emoscape, a medical-grade emotion AI platform, and nSEPIA, a consumer platform powered by Emoscape that enables real-time emotional awareness and targeted interventions reflecting Nihilent’s focus on building category-defining solutions that bridge technology, human behaviour, and ancient wisdom.

New Delhi [India], May 12: Sparx, one of India’s most popular athleisure footwear brands among youth, has unveiled its Spring-Summer collection with a strong focus on style and attitude, leading with its Shoe-Style Sandals under the Summer Swag campaign.

Designed for today’s fast-moving lifestyle, the Shoe-Style Sandals reflect a shift in how young consumers approach footwear, seeking options that are not just functional, but also expressive. With Summer Swag, Sparx brings a more confident, effortless style language to the forefront, encouraging consumers to own their look with ease.

Flexibility is a key part of the construction. The build allows natural foot movement, making it suitable for activities such as walking, light hiking, and everyday commuting. At the same time, the sole is designed to offer durability and traction, ensuring stability across different surfaces. Breathability also plays an important role, especially in warmer conditions. The open structure allows airflow, helping maintain comfort during long hours of use. Along with this, the overall design remains lightweight, making it easy to wear through the day without strain.

Sporty, contemporary styling adds to its appeal, making it easy to pair across casual looks while standing out as a statement in itself. Lightweight construction, flexibility, and all-day comfort further enhance its usability, especially during the summer season.

Speaking on the launch, Mr. Gaurav Kumaar Dua, Co-Chief Executive Officer & Whole Time Director, Relaxo Footwears Ltd, said, “As leaders in the sandals category, our focus has consistently been on strengthening that position through continuous product innovation. With evolving consumer expectations, there is a clear shift towards versatile, multi-purpose footwear, and the Shoe-Style Sandal is a direct response to this need. It brings together the structural support of a shoe with the breathability and style of a sandal, creating a differentiated space within the category. By launching Shoe-Style Sandals under the ‘Summer Swag’ campaign, we wanted to bring a sharper focus on style and attitude, especially for young consumers who see footwear as an extension of their personality.”

With this launch, Sparx sets the tone for its Summer Swag campaign, with more style-led offerings to follow through the season.

Alembic City; curated green zones woven into the residential fabric, kind of thoughtful design

Vadodara (Gujarat) [India], May 12: Choosing where to live is one of the most significant decisions you will ever make. The apartment size and floor plan matter, of course. But what truly shapes your daily quality of life is the neighbourhood around your front door. A well-chosen neighbourhood can turn a good home into a great life.

So how do you assess a neighbourhood before committing? Here are five defining qualities that separate a truly liveable area from one that merely looks good on a map.

1. Does the Neighbourhood Have Enough Green Space?

Green space directly influences mental wellbeing, physical activity, and community bonds  it is not a decorative afterthought. Walk the neighbourhood at different times of day. Are parks maintained and actually used? At Alembic City, curated green zones are woven into the residential fabric, the kind of thoughtful design seen in projects like The Gardens II and Park Crescent, where landscape architecture and residential planning coexist rather than compete.

2. Does Connectivity Actually Work for Daily Life?

A neighbourhood’s value depends on where it connects you. Good connectivity means proximity to arterial roads, public transport, business districts, and airports. Don’t rely on GPS estimates  run a real commute test at peak hour. Whether you’re evaluating new residential projects in Vadodara or Bangalore, proximity to the city’s commercial hubs is a non-negotiable criterion.

3. Are Everyday Conveniences Within Easy Reach?

The luxury of a beautiful home fades fast if you’re driving 40 minutes for groceries. The best neighbourhoods function like self-sufficient ecosystems  schools, hospitals, supermarkets, and pharmacies all within a short radius. Apply the 20-minute test: can you complete your most common daily tasks within a 20-minute round trip? Alembic City is built around exactly this idea  everything a resident needs, from retail to recreation, accessible without a cross-town journey.

4. Is the Neighbourhood Safe With a Strong Community Culture?

Safety is not just about crime statistics, it’s the felt sense of security that lets your children play outside and allows you to take an evening walk without hesitation. Community culture matters equally. Gated communities and curated developments, such as those offering 3 BHK and 4 BHK luxury apartments in Vadodara, invest heavily in security infrastructure and community management, making this easier to evaluate upfront than in open neighbourhoods.

5. Will the Neighbourhood Hold Its Value Over the Long Term?

A neighbourhood worth living in today should be worth living in a decade from now. Research the developer’s track record  do they deliver on their promises? Is there a coherent urban vision or a patchwork of mismatched construction? Cities like Vadodara and Bengaluru are seeing strong real estate momentum, and areas where residential growth is backed by commercial development tend to produce more resilient, vibrant communities over time.

Putting It All Together

Green space, connectivity, daily convenience, community culture, and long-term planning neighbourhoods that score well across all five are built with a holistic vision, not a plot-by-plot approach. Projects like Gardens II, Cloud Forest, and Park Crescent at Alembic City reflect exactly this ambition: places designed not merely to be purchased, but to be lived in, fully.

Before you sign on the dotted line, step outside the show flat. Walk the streets, test the commute, talk to a neighbour. The neighbourhood will tell you everything you need to know.
