• MoU Signed at ‘UAE – India: Partnership for Enduring Prosperity’ event in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Saud Bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah
• Aims to Enhance Investment, Facilitate Business and Strengthen Economic Ties Between the UAE and the Indian State

Dubai [United Arab Emirates], January 31: In a significant step towards enhancing bilateral trade and investment, the UAE-India Business Council – UAE Chapter (UIBC-UC) and the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC), Government of Maharashtra, have entered a strategic partnership, formalized through the signing of a MoU.

The MoU was signed during the “UAE – India: Partnership for Enduring Prosperity” event, held at the Waldorf Astoria in Ras Al Khaimah yesterday, aimed at highlighting growing ties between India and the UAE across sectors like manufacturing, tourism, and hospitality. This event was part of a wider celebration of India’s 76th Republic Day organized by the Consulate General of India.

Aimed at opening new doors for investment and trade between the UAE and Maharashtra and fostering deeper collaboration between UIBC-UC members and the state, this powerful partnership is supported by the UIBC-UC’s network of 18 founding members, representing a collective force of leading Indian and Emirati businesses. With over USD 1 trillion in assets under management, these organizations are poised to significantly influence the economic growth and prosperity of both regions.

The agreement establishes a comprehensive framework for cooperation, encouraging regular interactions between UIBC-UC members and Maharashtra government officials, including the Hon. Chief Minister of the state. The collaboration will focus on improving the ease of doing business for UAE companies in Maharashtra. Both parties will also work to actively promote investment opportunities in the state to UAE businesses. Moreover, the MoU will facilitate the annual exchange of business delegations between the UAE and Maharashtra, fostering stronger ties and business relationships.

The agreement signed by Mr. Kshitij Korde, Head of Corporate Affairs at UIBC-UC and Mr. P. Velrasu, CEO of MIDC, was later exchanged between H.E. Major General (Retd.) Sharafuddin Sharaf, Vice Chairman of Sharaf Group & Vice Chairman of UIBC-UC & Mr. Velrasu, in the presence of H.H. Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah, Shri Uday Samant, Hon. Minister of Industries and Marathi Language, Govt of Maharashtra, and H.E. Satish Kumar Sivan, Consul General of India to Dubai and Northern Emirates.

This MoU signing was preceded by a closed-door meeting held between Shri Uday Samant, Hon. Minister of Industries and Marathi Language, Govt of Maharashtra; Mr. Deependra Singh Kushwah (I.A.S.) Development Commissioner (Industries); Mr. P. Velrasu, CEO of MIDC; Dr. Vijay Rathod, Joint Chief Executive Officer of MIDC; and UIBC-UC members including H.E. Maj Gen (Retd) Sharafuddin Sharaf, Vice Chairman of UIBC-UC and Vice Chairman of Sharaf Group; Mr. Ankur Gupta, Board Member of UIBC-UC and Head of Corporate Affairs & Growth MENA at Tata Sons; Mr. Neeraj Tekchandani, CEO of Apparel Group, representing UIBC-UC Board Member Mr. Nilesh Ved; and Mr. Pankaj Khandelwal, CFO UAE & India of EFS Facilities Group, representing UIBC-UC Board Member Mr. Tariq Chauhan. Mr. Kshitij Korde – Head of Corporate Affairs at UIBC-UC, and Ms. Neha Sahni – Research Specialist at UIBC-UC, were also present at the meeting.

Mr. Faizal Kottikollon, Chairman of UIBC-UC and KEF Holdings remarked, “This MoU marks a major milestone in strengthening the economic relationship between the UAE and India. By working closely with the State of Maharashtra, we aim to unlock new opportunities for trade and investment that will benefit businesses on both sides.”

“The state visits between the leaders of both countries in the last 4-5 years have been remarkable, with each side visiting more than four to five times, showing the strength of this relationship. Investments have jumped from $40 billion to $60 billion, then to $80 billion, with a target of $100 billion. This reflects the geopolitical shifts and growing economic ties between India and the UAE,” added Major General (Retd.) Sharafuddin Sharaf.

As we eagerly anticipate the Union Budget of India 2025, Insta Food remains optimistic about the opportunities it presents for growth and innovation within the ready-to-cook food sector. The food industry is at a crucial juncture, with rapidly evolving consumer demands, an increasing focus on sustainability, and a need for technological advancements to keep pace with the ever-changing market. At Insta Food, we believe the forthcoming budget can serve as a catalyst to drive significant progress in these areas, enabling us to continue delivering high-quality, convenient meal solutions to our customers across India.

One of our primary hopes for the 2025 Union Budget is that it will focus on creating policies that foster innovation in food processing. Food processing plays a pivotal role in improving food quality, extending shelf life, and ensuring that healthy and nutritious meal options are accessible to a broader population. By encouraging the development of new technologies and processes, we can unlock new possibilities for food preparation and packaging, making ready-to-cook meals more affordable, accessible, and convenient for consumers. Additionally, we hope to see support for initiatives that promote the streamlining of supply chains. Efficient, well-connected supply chains are essential for reducing costs, improving product availability, and minimizing food waste – all of which contribute to a more sustainable and consumer-friendly food system.

In line with this, investments in digital infrastructure and technology will be crucial to furthering our mission. As consumer preferences shift increasingly towards online shopping and tech-driven solutions, the digital transformation of the food sector is imperative. We anticipate that the 2025 budget will allocate resources towards enhancing digital capabilities in food processing, distribution, and retail. This will enable companies like ours to better serve our customers, improve our operational efficiency, and expand our reach to untapped markets, both locally and internationally. By integrating cutting-edge technologies, we can not only improve the quality of our offerings but also enhance the consumer experience, ensuring that we meet the ever-growing demand for quick, healthy, and delicious meal options.

Another key area of focus for us is sustainability. As a company committed to quality and environmental responsibility, we strongly believe that the 2025 Union Budget should incentivize sustainable packaging and eco-friendly practices in the food industry. With growing concerns over plastic waste and its impact on the environment, it is crucial that the food sector adapts to more sustainable solutions. Whether through investments in biodegradable packaging, support for innovative recycling technologies, or providing tax breaks for companies that adhere to green practices, such initiatives will go a long way in encouraging businesses to adopt eco-friendly practices and reduce their carbon footprint.

Ultimately, we see the Union Budget 2025 as an opportunity to foster an ecosystem where food innovation, sustainability, and digital transformation can thrive in tandem. With the right policies and incentives, Insta Food is well-positioned to contribute significantly to the evolution of India’s food landscape, driving forward the growth of the ready-to-cook sector while remaining committed to our core values of quality, sustainability, and customer satisfaction. As we continue to navigate the changing needs of our consumers, we are confident that the budget will support our vision of making delicious, healthy, and sustainable meals more accessible to all.

Surat (Gujarat) [India], January 30: India stands at a pivotal moment where its vibrant startups can redefine industries, attract global investments, generate high-quality jobs, and create unparalleled economic value. Governments worldwide have demonstrated how proactive policies can accelerate entrepreneurial success and spark momentum that can reshape the economic fabric of an entire nation. Inspired by global best practices, here are five impactful recommendations to cement India’s position as the startup hub of the future.

1. Launch a Government-Backed “Startup Bond”

Access to affordable financing remains a challenge for startups. A government-backed “Startup Bond” could provide low-interest loans without collateral, targeting high-risk sectors like AI, Agritech, and clean energy. Singapore’s Startup SG Equity model, which co-invests with private investors to de-risk funding, is a noteworthy benchmark. Such bonds would empower startups to access capital without diluting equity, enabling long-term stability.

2. Establish Regional Innovation Hubs

While cities like Bengaluru and Mumbai dominate the startup narrative, Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities remain untapped reservoirs of talent and innovation. The government should create 50+ sector-specific innovation hubs with public-private partnerships. China, with over 1,600 tech parks, has demonstrated how innovation hubs can decentralize entrepreneurship. By replicating this model, India can unlock the vast potential of its smaller cities, ensuring inclusive growth.

3. Encourage Global Expansion with Export Incentives

Indian startups must dream bigger and think global. The government can provide export tax rebates, mentorship, and subsidies for participating in international trade fairs. South Korea’s Born Global initiative and Canada’s CanExport program offer robust support to startups venturing abroad. By providing similar incentives, India can position its startups on the global stage and diversify foreign exchange earnings.

4. Fuel Innovation with R&D Grants

Innovation thrives when research is funded. The government should introduce matching grants for startups investing in R&D, especially in critical areas like biotechnology, AI, and renewable energy. The US Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program has successfully fueled technological breakthroughs, while Australia reimburses up to 43.5% of R&D expenses. Encouraging R&D investment will make India a global leader in deep-tech innovation.

5. Strengthen Corporate-Startup Synergy

Big corporations and startups are natural allies. The government should incentivize corporates to engage with startups through tax rebates for investments or procurement. Japan’s Open Innovation Tax Incentive encourages corporates to co-develop solutions with startups. Such collaborations can accelerate scaling and provide startups with the credibility needed to thrive.

Moreover, collaboration across government, academia, corporates, investors, and founders is the foundation of a thriving ecosystem. The government can also actively involve non-profit organizations like TiE Global in policy-making and implementation, ensuring local entrepreneurs gain access to global networks and mentorship. The government’s role is to unify these stakeholders under a consistent and supportive policy umbrella, ensuring that regulatory frameworks, tax incentives, and funding programs operate in harmony.

By embracing these measures in the upcoming budget, our government can channel the nation’s vibrant talent and innovative spirit into tangible results. Let us collectively shape a future where groundbreaking ideas flourish, creating a dynamic ecosystem that positions India at the forefront of global entrepreneurship.

New Delhi [India], January 29: Success isn’t always defined by conventional standards, and Subhash Ramdin Prajapati’s story is a powerful testament to this. His journey is one of unyielding perseverance, empathy, and a profound belief in the possibility of change. From navigating life with a disability to creating a legacy that inspires countless others, Subhash’s story proves that obstacles can become stepping stones to a brighter future.

Rising Above Challenges: A Story of Unbreakable Will

Subhash’s journey began in a humble household in a small town, where he was diagnosed with polio at a young age. While many would have let his disability define them, Subhash refused to succumb to his circumstances. Instead, he embraced a mindset of perseverance, seeing each challenge as an opportunity for growth.

At just 15 years old, Subhash entered the workforce, taking on various odd jobs to make ends meet. Life was incredibly tough in Surat, where he often slept on sidewalks and earned just ₹20 a day selling newspapers. Despite the hardships, his resolve never wavered. His dreams of a better life kept him moving forward, one step at a time.

Subhash’s hard work and dedication eventually led him into the world of network marketing. With a sharp business sense and relentless drive, he became an expert in marketing, financial planning, and business analytics. This journey provided the foundation for his entrepreneurial venture, which would later evolve into something truly remarkable.

Empowering Others: A Champion for the Differently-Abled

Subhash’s achievements have always been rooted in his desire to help others. Through his own experiences, he learned the importance of empathy and decided to dedicate his life to uplifting those facing similar challenges. He has become a beacon of hope for people with disabilities across India, providing medical aid, wheelchairs, and hearing devices to those in need.

But Subhash’s impact goes beyond material support. He actively encourages differently-abled individuals to recognize their potential and create their own paths to success. Through advocacy, mentorship, and ongoing support, he has played a key role in fostering a more inclusive society—one where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Svdaa: Turning a Vision into Reality

In 2024, Subhash’s long-held dream came to life with the launch of Svdaa, a premium skincare brand that reflects his dedication to excellence, innovation, and quality. Svdaa was born out of his desire to offer products that not only enhance beauty but also cater to the diverse needs of individuals, helping them embrace their unique beauty.

Each product in the Svdaa line is carefully formulated, combining advanced skincare science with the purest ingredients. From the revitalizing Night Cream and Day Cream to the restorative Snail Mucin Cream, every product is designed to nourish, repair, and renew the skin. The Vitamin C Serum and Rise Toner brighten and refresh, while the Skin Brightening and Saffron Facewashes cleanse and rejuvenate. Svdaa also offers targeted treatments, including the Salicylic Acid Cream Lotion for acne-prone skin, and the Rational Cream and Skin Lightening Cream to address specific concerns. The Emollient Cream delivers deep hydration, leaving skin soft and nourished.

For Subhash, Svdaa is more than just a skincare brand; it represents his belief that truly impactful products should not only improve the skin but also uplift self-confidence. Every Svdaa product is crafted with the goal of delivering visible results that enhance the natural radiance and health of the skin.

Building a Legacy: A Story of Resilience and Compassion

Subhash’s journey is not just about building a successful business; it’s about defying stereotypes and inspiring others to overcome adversity. Through his example, he has shown that challenges are not roadblocks, but opportunities to create a more inclusive and prosperous society. His work continues to inspire and uplift others, proving that the human spirit knows no limits when fueled by compassion and determination.

As Subhash expands Svdaa and continues his support for the differently-abled community, he remains a living example of resilience and humanity. His story serves as a powerful reminder that true success is not measured by personal achievements, but by the positive impact we have on the lives of others.

A Recognized Icon

Subhash Prajapati’s remarkable journey has earned him well-deserved recognition, as he is featured in Forbes India and has been honored by Fames India as one of the Top 30 Icons of India. From overcoming the challenges of living with polio to becoming an influential entrepreneur, Subhash’s story is a testament to the power of resilience, determination, and empathy. Through his work with Svdaa and his advocacy for the differently-abled community, Subhash has not only redefined success but has also inspired countless individuals to believe in their potential. His inclusion in these prestigious lists highlights his significant impact on both business and society, cementing his status as a true icon of inspiration.

In Subhash Prajapati’s world, beauty is more than just skin-deep—it’s the courage to dream, the strength to persevere, and the heart to lift others along the way.

New Delhi [India]m January 29: As global tech giants continue to dominate, India must shift its focus towards smarter, more affordable innovation. Manoj Dhanda, Founder and CTO of Utho, emphasizes that the future lies in homegrown, efficient solutions. DeepSeek’s success proves that vision, optimization, and self-belief are more crucial than massive investments.

“We always believe that only big brands or expensive solutions can be trusted when it comes to technology. But what if we rethink that?”

In a world dominated by a handful of tech giants, a silent revolution is taking place—and it’s not where you’d expect. DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup, has proven that innovation doesn’t need billions—it needs vision, efficiency, and optimized resources.

DeepSeek recently shook global AI markets by launching an AI model trained at a fraction of the cost of what industry leaders typically spend.

The result? Tech stocks, including Nvidia, Microsoft, and Alphabet, took a major hit—all because a lean, cost-efficient approach outperformed traditional, high-investment AI models.

But what does this mean for India? And more importantly, what can Indian businesses and technology leaders learn from this shift?

In an exclusive conversation, Manoj Dhanda, Founder and CTO of Utho, India’s own cloud platform, shares his insights on why India must rethink its approach to technology, affordability, and self-reliance.

India Has the Talent—Now, We Need the Mindset

“We have always believed that only the most expensive solutions or global brands can be trusted. But if you look at China, they have maximized their own resources to build something transformative like DeepSeek. They optimized what they had and made it work. But why can’t we? We have the talent, the skills, and the vision—what we need now is the mindset to trust and build within India.”

“People often ask me, ‘Why is DeepSeek such a big deal?’ The answer is simple: They did not play by the old rules. Instead of pouring billions into high-powered chips and vast data centers, they focused on efficiency—on doing more with less. And look at the impact: They’ve shaken the world’s AI industry.”

“Now, let’s think about India. The Indian market is still heavily dependent on international cloud providers—AWS, Azure, GCP. But what happens when global policies shift? What happens if, like the US did to China, we suddenly find ourselves on the wrong side of international policies? 

The only thing that guarantees business continuity is having self-reliant, homegrown cloud technology that is optimized, affordable, and efficient.”

Optimized Innovation is the Future

DeepSeek’s approach was simple: low-cost chips, optimized architecture, and strategic efficiency.
And that’s exactly what India needs to embrace.

“At Utho, we are proving that affordability doesn’t mean compromise. The future is not about how much you spend—it’s about how well you optimize. We are building a cloud ecosystem that prioritizes efficiency over excessive spending. Just like DeepSeek optimized AI, we are optimizing cloud infrastructure to give businesses more control, more affordability, and more reliability—all while keeping it Indian.”

“The world is shifting. China has proved it with DeepSeek. It’s time for India to step up—not just as consumers of foreign tech, but as creators of world-class, homegrown innovations.”

Final Thought: “India’s Tech Future Starts with Belief”

“If there’s one lesson from DeepSeek’s rise, it’s this: Innovation is not about resources. It’s about belief. We have the talent, the capability, and now, we need the confidence to build our own world-class solutions.”

“The next time you choose a technology solution, ask yourself—am I supporting something that strengthens India’s future? Because just like AI, cloud is not just about technology. It’s about business continuity, independence, and building a future we control.”

A Wake-Up Call for India’s Tech Industry

The rise of DeepSeek is not just an AI story—it’s a wake-up call for the entire technology ecosystem. Countries that trust and invest in their own innovations are the ones shaping the future.

India has everything it needs to be a global leader in AI, cloud, and technology infrastructure— Now, it’s time to believe in it.
