• Located at Food Hills, Mumbai-Nashik Highway, Near Igatpuri
• Has a 360kW star charge power unit with two dynamic load balancing dispensers

Vadodara (Gujarat) [India], February 20: Swedish luxury car brand, Volvo Car India and ChargeZone®, India’s largest EV charging network, today inaugurated an ultra-fast charging station on the Mumbai-Nashik Highway that features a 360kW star charge power unit with two dynamic load balancing dispensers. This station is located at Food Hills, Mumbai-Nashik Highway, Near Igatpuri. This marks a significant milestone in their collaboration to build a premium nationwide supercharging network.

This intelligent configuration enables optimal power distribution, reduced waiting times and faster real-world charging experience for Volvo customers and other EV users. Strategically positioned on one of Maharashtra’s busiest intercity routes, the charging station offers dedicated bays for Volvo EVs, seamless app-based access for navigation and payments, and an elevated customer experience designed for convenience and reliability.

Jyoti Malhotra, MD, Volvo Car India, spoke during the ribbon cutting ceremony organized at the charging station today, “As a legacy brand, Volvo Cars is committed to driving the transition towards sustainable mobility, and this partnership with ChargeZone® is a testament to that vision. Together, we are ensuring that our customers not only enjoy the luxury and performance of Volvo EVs but also have access to a dependable and hassle-free charging infrastructure. The new 360kW station on the Mumbai-Nashik highway is the first step in delivering a world-class charging experience across India.”

Present at the event and speaking on the occasion, Mr. Kartikey Hariyani, Founder & CEO, ChargeZone®, said, “The launch of our first co-branded 360 kW ultra-fast charging station with Volvo Car India represents an important milestone in building a premium, future ready charging network for the country. The Mumbai Nashik hub showcases our focus on high speed, technology enabled infrastructure supported by intelligent features such as dynamic power loading that significantly improve the customer experience. As EV adoption accelerates, our priority is to ensure that long-distance travel becomes fast, predictable and seamless. We look forward to supporting India’s shift toward a cleaner and more sustainable mobility landscape.”

This installation follows the Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2025 between ChargeZone® and Volvo Car India to expand access to high-speed EV charging across key national corridors, and the plan is to get a few more charging stations added in 2026. The partnership reflects a shared commitment to improving long distance EV travel, strengthening charging availability, and advancing India’s transition to sustainable mobility, while encouraging the adoption of luxury and performance EVs across the country.

Faridabad (Haryana) [India], February 20: Behind every destination wedding in India lies a moment that feels small, almost ordinary. It often starts quietly, long before the décor boards and guest lists. Today, destinationweddingsindia.com is transforming that very first step — helping families begin their venue search in a structured, transparent, and organised way.

A family sat around a table. Phone calls from relatives. The dates under discussion, the budgets estimated roughly, and some excitement with fear. Between tradition and aspiration, there is always one question that recurs: where should the wedding be?

Indian Weddings are sentimental, personal, and cultural. To the majority of families, they are a once-in-a-lifetime event with expectation, remembrance, and responsibility. Yet, despite its scale and importance, the process of the wedding location is incoherent, fragmented, and still largely offline.

Word of mouth, a few planners, or fellow agents usually dictate the few safe hotels and destinations to families. Conversations repeat. Options feel limited. And the sense of uncertainty grows, are we even seeing all the possibilities?

This disparity between the significance of weddings and the inefficiency of venue discovery organisation is the core issue in the Indian wedding business.

A Deeply Rooted Industry Challenge

Over time, the process of wedding planning in India has followed the same pattern as the travel industry did: relationship-based, non- transparent, and brokered by a small community of middlemen. The individuals that the families have to rely on the most are the planners or agents, and they are likely to suggest venues that they know well or do business with on a regular basis.

Although these well-known hotels have a regular level of exposure and price power, numerous other equally competent hotels, resorts, boutique hotels, palaces, and heritage properties have been left behind. These hotels might be wedding-ready in all respects, but fail to access demand merely because they are not in the traditional planner circuit.

This translates to fewer options, recurring suggestions, and poor transparency to couples and families. To the hotel, it is a lost opportunity and a crooked playing field.

This disproportion was particularly evident during the first COVID-19 lockdown.

With the background of luxury event planning and hospitality, the team of the destination wedding in India was in a rare standstill. As everything was at a standstill and travel was limited, they got time to step back and look at the ecosystem that they had been working in.

The notable point was not only the disruption posed by the pandemic, but also a greater realisation: wedding venue finding in India was not digitised, discoverable, or fair. There was not a single organised platform on which families were able to search freely, and no neutral platform on which hotels could display themselves without gatekeeping.

To a great extent, weddings are what travel was like more than ten years ago,  before online platforms changed how people planned trips.

The Birth of Destination Weddings India

It is on this basis that Destination Weddings India (destinationweddingsindia.com) was established in 2021 as a technology-driven venue finding and booking application with a specialisation in Indian weddings.

Rather than using the databases or listings solely, the team opted to go ground-up. They started touring the country and visiting numerous hotels, rubbing shoulders with the staff, looking around at the properties, checking capacities, guest traffic, and what actually constitutes a wedding-ready venue in India.

This took them through established wedding destinations and new ones, through luxury resorts, palace hotels, heritage properties, and boutique venues that had the infrastructure but not the visibility.

The purpose was evident: eliminating the concept of gatekeeping in venue discovery and broadening the options among families that organise weddings.

This initiative eventually resulted in the procurement of over 700 wedding-ready hotels and venues in 33 destinations in India. Every property onboarded was not only considered in terms of its beauty, but also in terms of its capability to hold actual weddings, logistically, operationally, and experientially.

From Exploration to Structured Access

Today, this extensive on-ground research is consolidated into one structured digital ecosystem through destinationweddingsindia.com.

To wedding families, the site makes the aspect of venue selection, which is usually the most stressful in the whole planning process, easy. Instead of depending on limited referrals or personal connections, families will be able to locate numerous vetted destinations, budgets, and guest capacities all within a single location.

The experience is aimed at providing clarity. Families are able to compare, assess and shortlist venues that truly meet their vision, whether they are planning a small destination wedding or a large multi-day party.

In the case of hotels, particularly those not in the conventional planner ecosystem, DWI offers a packaged entry to actual wedding demand. Insider connections are no longer the only property consideration. Rather, they can be found by families that are actively seeking out venues, making the marketplace more justified and clear.

By playing on each side of the ecosystem, Destination Weddings India plays a mediator, bringing together wedding-ready hotels and couples and families in a manner that is well organised, fair, and execution ready.

The strategy has seen the platform steadily grow to assist over 2,000 wedding families monthly.

A Clear Focus on Venue Discovery and Booking

Although the Indian wedding ecosystem opens numerous opportunities, Destination Weddings India has chosen a strategic move and consciously decided to specialise in a single service: finding and booking a venue.

This is what the platform is all about: more curation and better hotel relationships, as well as faster and more transparent decision-making by families. DWI does not attempt to resolve all the issues of wedding planning simultaneously, but focuses on getting the basics straight.

The growth story of the platform is based on a definite problem-solution pattern.

The problem

• Wedding venue discovery remains largely offline and biased
• Families see the same venues repeated across planners and agents
• Capable hotels struggle for visibility without network access

The solution

• A digital-first platform dedicated to wedding venues
• Access to 700+ wedding-ready hotels across India
• Broader choice, better transparency, and more equitable pricing

By addressing the structural inefficiencies and not the cosmetic gaps, Destination Weddings India will establish itself not only as a booking platform but also as a provider of long-term change in the industry.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Indian Weddings

 

Indian weddings are evolving. There is also a trend where couples are choosing to have destination celebrations, experience-based planning, and customised venues that narrate their story.

Guest lists are becoming edited, and the families are seeking transparency, trust, and informed decision-making.

This is a dynamic environment that is necessitating sites like DestinationWeddingsIndia.com.

Having a growing portfolio of hotels, a steady stream of wedding families, and a strong focus on venue discovery, Destination Weddings India is shaping how Indian couples and families explore and book wedding venues, which brings clarity, reach, and equilibrium to an industry traditionally working in closed circles.

About Destination Weddings India

Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Faridabad, Destination Weddings India is an Indian wedding venue discovery and booking platform accessible through destinationweddingsindia.com, where Indian wedding families are matched with wedding-ready hotels, resorts, palaces, and heritage venues across the country.

With a network exceeding 700 onboard venues and serving over 2,000 wedding families per month, destinationweddingsindia.com delivers a structured, technology-driven approach to wedding venue discovery in India, bringing transparency, wider choice, and organised access to the wedding ecosystem.

Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], February 20: As Indian travellers increasingly move beyond checklist sightseeing of Europe, the focus is steadily shifting from hurried sightseeing to journeys that offer depth, comfort and time to explore. Reflecting this change in travel preferences, Thrillophilia has announced the launch of its 2026 Europe multi-day travel portfolio, signalling a clear move away from fast-paced, multi-country trips toward slower, more immersive and highly personalised journeys.

Based on its 2025 travel data, the company observed a 38% increase in travellers’ preference for slower pacing and fewer destinations. The trend signals a broader shift toward depth over coverage. In response, the company has restructured its itineraries to minimise excessive city transitions, insert buffer time and prioritise longer stays within single regions.

To turn these behavioural shifts into actual trip experiences, Thrillophilia has launched itineraries designed for specific traveller segments. This includes a 7-night Swiss Alps holiday plan with a relaxed pace that has resonated strongly with families from tier 2 cities like Jaipur, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Bhubaneswar and Indore. This follows a 14% shift towards covering fewer destinations at a relaxed pace and a 19% rise in travellers choosing comfort-first holidays.

Similarly, a relaxed Tuscany countryside circuit has been curated for couples from cities like Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Gurugram and Hyderabad. This comes in response to a 42% increase in demand for cultural and local experiences, while interest in trips focused only on famous landmarks has fallen by 14%.

Catering to these trends, the new lineup reflects a broader change in how Indian travellers now approach Europe – not as a continent to be “covered” in one trip, but as regions to be explored in depth over time. The itineraries move away from crowded capital cities and tight schedules, focusing instead on small towns, countryside stays, scenic mountain routes, regional rail journeys and local cultural experiences.

Designed for the New Europe Traveller

Thrillophilia’s 2026 Europe portfolio is built around a simple insight: Indian travellers today care as much about “how a trip feels” as “where it goes”. Booking data reflects this shift clearly.

Across segments, there has been a 35% move toward itineraries covering 2 to 3 cities, with built-in buffer days and more relaxed pacing. Though the shift is nationwide, Indian Tier 1 metros can specifically observe this trend. Young professionals from Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad and Delhi NCR are planning quick international getaways to escape demanding work schedules. Travellers are now choosing Europe trips that allow breathing room rather than replicating the rush they are trying to leave behind.

Aligning with this traveller demand, the company introduced 6-day “micro-escape Europe” itineraries designed for shorter holidays. This includes Paris with Swiss scenic train journeys, which have seen strong interest from travellers in Gurugram, Noida and Bengaluru. The demand reflects a 43% increase in weekend-style travel and a 51% rise in people taking multiple short trips in a year.

Similarly, Vienna–Budapest cultural weekend trips are gaining popularity among young working professionals from Hyderabad and Chennai, driven by a 47% increase in interest in nightlife experiences.

What’s notable is that this preference is no longer limited to large metros. Tier 2 cities such as Jaipur, Kochi, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Indore and Chandigarh are showing similar behaviour, driven by a rising Gen Z workforce and greater exposure to international travel. The focus across markets is shifting toward comfort, flow and depth over aggressive coverage.

Interestingly, travellers from Ahmedabad, Surat and Vadodara are increasingly choosing multi-generational holidays. This trend aligns with a 21% rise in demand for customised itineraries and a 16% increase in advance planning.

In response, Thrillophilia has introduced comfort-first Europe itineraries with private transfers and longer stays in cities across Switzerland and Northern Italy, making travel easier for families of all age groups.

Thus, catering to the traveller demands, Thrillophilia’s new itineraries prioritise fewer hotel changes, realistic daily pacing and more meaningful time spent within each region. Instead of hopping between five or six cities, travellers can now opt for experiences such as:

• Alpine village stays in Switzerland, along with mountain rail journeys and lakeside walks
• Countryside itineraries across Tuscany, Provence and French wine regions
• Slow rail journeys through Austria and Central Europe
• Regional Italy trips centred on food, local markets and historic towns
• Nature-led Europe routes featuring scenic drives, cable cars and gentle day hikes

Data suggests that group travellers, especially friend groups travelling from Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata, are choosing lively and social Central Europe routes covering Prague, Vienna and Budapest. This trend reflects a 58% rise in adventure-focused trips and a 47% increase in demand for experience-driven nightlife itineraries among young travellers.

Aligning with this trend, each itinerary by the company is fully customisable. It allows travellers to adjust pace, hotel category, transport options and experiences depending on who they are travelling with.

Local Experiences, Not Just Landmarks

A defining feature of the 2026 lineup is its focus on local flavour and offbeat experiences rather than landmark-heavy sightseeing alone. Alongside iconic attractions, travellers can choose from experiences such as:

• Visits to family-run vineyards and farm stays
• Regional food trails and hands-on cooking sessions
• Small-town walking tours and cultural evenings
• Lake cruises, mountain excursions and panoramic rail routes
• Buffer days that are built in to avoid fatigue and rushed schedules

For honeymooners from Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad, the company has introduced thoughtfully planned itineraries with relaxed schedules, flexible activity days and scenic travel time. These trips reflect recent travel trends, with a 38% rise in demand for mid-premium stays and a 34% increase in travellers looking for flexible plans that also allow them to work remotely.

By design, these itineraries avoid peak-hour sightseeing and overcrowded circuits, offering a calmer and more immersive way to experience Europe.

Stronger Rail and On-Ground Partnerships

To support these trips at scale without compromising on quality, Thrillophilia has expanded its on-ground network across Europe. The company has partnered with hundreds of regional suppliers, boutique hotels, transport providers and experience operators.

Recent booking insights show:

• 18% growth in Switzerland rail journeys among luxury travellers
• 24% rise in Gen Z multi-country Europe trips, led by young professionals from Chennai, Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Gurugram.

Rail connectivity now plays a central role in both premium alpine itineraries and culture-driven city circuits.

A key highlight of the 2026 programme is deeper integration with European rail networks through partnerships, including Rail Europe and Switzerland Tourism. These tie-ups enable access to scenic train routes, improved seat availability and more competitive pricing across countries.

Thrillophilia has also strengthened collaborations with European tourism boards and attraction partners, bringing curated experiences and preferential pricing that are often unavailable in standard package tours.

Technology-Enabled, Human-Led Customisation

What sets the 2026 Europe trips apart is how they are designed and executed. Thrillophilia uses AI-assisted systems to generate and evaluate thousands of itinerary combinations, factoring in travel time, rail schedules, hotel logistics and travel fatigue. These itineraries are then refined by human destination specialists who focus on comfort, pacing and on-ground reliability.

This hybrid model allows Thrillophilia to offer highly customised Europe trips at scale while maintaining consistency and on-ground support. Such a balance has historically been difficult to achieve, yet Thrillophilia is transforming the scene with its new Europe travel model. The approach uses technology to manage the complexity of multi-layered travel operations, while human teams ensure the trip flows smoothly in real-world conditions.

According to company data, trips designed using this feasibility-first approach see fewer mid-trip changes and higher satisfaction levels, particularly among families, repeat travellers and premium leisure segments.

A Different Europe Offering for 2026

With this launch, Thrillophilia is positioning its European portfolio not as a mere set of fixed packages but rather as a more thoughtful way to explore the continent, precisely aligned with how Indian travellers are evolving.

“These trips are built for travellers who want to slow down, explore deeper and come back feeling rested rather than exhausted,” the company said. “Europe doesn’t need to be rushed to be memorable.”

The 2026 Europe portfolio is now live on Thrillophilia’s platform, with fully customisable itineraries across Switzerland, Italy, France, Austria, Central Europe, and select Nordic and Alpine regions, supported by end-to-end on-ground execution.

New Delhi [India], February 20: The journey of Travel News Services and TNSI Retail is moving with clear direction. 8 new outlets opened across key travel and education hubs in January 2026 and locations included airports in Vadodara, Udaipur, Kochi and Chennai. More stores launched in universities at Sonipat and Sohna plus stations of Delhi Metro. Each opening followed planned execution and clear market study.

Managing Director Atul Jain is guiding this expansion with a structured approach. The plan focuses on balance between growth and profit rather than fast expansion alone. The company is not chasing numbers blindly. Instead it studies demand, location strength, and customer flow before entering a market. This disciplined model helps reduce risk and keeps operations steady. The leadership believes long term success comes from stable stores, not just many stores.

The company operates with specialised formats designed for different needs. Globiq serves quick travel essentials for passengers on the move. Teddy N Tales focuses on toys and gifts that attract families and impulse buyers. Authentic India offers traditional souvenirs inspired by Indian craft heritage. These formats allow the business to serve multiple customer types while maintaining a clear identity for each store concept.

The organisation runs a network of more than 150 outlets including over 50 self owned stores and more than 100 partner run locations. Each outlet works like an independent business unit with targets for sales and cost control. Inventory is monitored closely and product mix is adjusted based on customer demand and this system ensures every store contributes to revenue and profit. The method shows that strong systems can matter more than large numbers in retail success.

The next milestone is crossing 100 self owned stores by financial year 2026 to 2027. Several sites are already in final stages of setup with investment plans and timelines prepared. The expansion strategy is based on data, location study, and operational readiness. This shows a long term vision rather than short term rush. With a steady plan and clear targets, the company aims to strengthen its position in India’s travel retail market while building a profitable and future ready network.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 19: Raveum, a platform enabling cross-border investment in premium U.S. real estate, today announced the successful closure of its seed funding round, raising $1.3 million at a post-money valuation of $22.8 million.

The round reflects investor confidence in Raveum’s compliance-led, technology-enabled approach to structured global real estate investing and supports the company’s next phase of expansion.

Founded to formalize and simplify U.S. property participation for international investors, Raveum provides access to curated, income-generating U.S. real estate opportunities through multiple ownership structures, including GP participation, LP investments, and direct ownership pathways. The platform is designed to serve investors across India, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and other international markets within a clearly defined regulatory framework.

A Structured Approach to Cross-Border Real Estate Investment

Cross-border real estate participation has historically been constrained by regulatory complexity, fragmented documentation processes, and limited institutional access. Raveum’s model integrates compliance infrastructure, underwriting discipline, and technology to facilitate authorized participation in U.S. multifamily and commercial real estate assets.

For Indian investors, the platform operates in alignment with FEMA guidelines and the Reserve Bank of India’s Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS), alongside applicable U.S. securities regulations. This structure enables cross-border allocation through compliant and transparent channels.

“This milestone reflects the strength of our governance framework and long-term strategy,” said Kabir Israni, CEO of Raveum. “We structured this round around strategic alignment with partners who value regulatory discipline, investor protection, and durable platform development. Our focus remains on building institutional-grade access to U.S. real estate for global investors.”

Scaling Infrastructure and Institutional Partnerships

The newly raised capital will be directed toward enhancing Raveum’s proprietary investment and compliance systems, expanding structured access to premium U.S. real estate assets, and strengthening regulatory and operational infrastructure across its core markets. The company also plans to broaden its international presence, scale investor onboarding and reporting capabilities, and expand teams across technology, compliance, and investor relations.

Since launch, Raveum has facilitated participation from retail and professional investors across multiple jurisdictions while deepening partnerships with U.S. based operators, legal advisors, and financial institutions to reinforce underwriting standards, governance controls, and risk management processes.

Meeting Growing Demand for U.S. Real Estate Exposure

As global investors increasingly seek diversification and dollar-denominated exposure through U.S. real estate, demand for structured and regulation-aligned cross-border access continues to expand. Raveum positions itself as a disciplined gateway to premium U.S. real estate opportunities, offering multiple participation models tailored to varying capital strategies.

The company’s long-term objective is to build a trusted platform for international investors seeking transparent, compliant access to institutional-grade U.S. assets across ownership structures.

About Raveum

Raveum is a platform enabling cross-border investment in premium U.S. real estate through compliant and structured participation models, including GP, LP, and direct ownership pathways. Operating across India, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and the United States, the company focuses on income-generating assets, regulatory alignment, disciplined underwriting, and long-term investor protection.

Dharam Agarwal, Director, Ashwika Warehousing LLP

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 19: With much happiness, Ashwika Warehousing LLP is announcing a major step forward: 1 crore sq of industrial warehouse & logistics park construction is being launched as part of our next growth phase. This announcement is also being made on Dharam Agarwal’s birthday, which makes the day even more meaningful for our team, our partners and everyone who has been part of this journey.

This is not just an expansion of space. This is an expansion of capability. The focus is clear : built-to-suit (BTS) industrial warehouses that can be planned around real operational needs, across industries and storage types.

Built-to-suit warehouses that fit the way you operate

Every business handles inventory difterently. Some need wide movement lanes and fast dispatch. Some need racking-heavy layouts. Some need clean zoning for categories. Some need flexible staging for inbound and outbound peaks.

That is why this construction rollout is being built around one promise: warehousing that adapts to your use case.

With built-to-suit warehouses, planning can be aligned to:

• Storage type and SKU movement
• Loading and unloading flow
• Layout needs for racking, stacking, or mixed storage
• On-ground oftice and support areas
• Scalability for changing volume

The goal is simple: give businesses warehouse infrastructure that works in day-to- day operations, not just on paper.

Suitable for every storage type and every business type

This rollout is being positioned for a wide range of users, including:

• Manufacturing and engineering supply chains
• 3PL and logistics service providers
• FMCG and retail distribution
• E-Commerce storage and dispatch
• Auto ancillary and parts warehousing
• Multi-category stockists and regional hubs

If your inventory needs vary across seasons, categories, or channels, the intent is to support that with flexible warehousing solutions.

Locations covered in this construction rollout

The 1 Cr Sq Ft rollout is being announced across key industrial belts, with sites planned and activated in the following areas:

• Chacharwadi
• Rajoda
• Bavla
• Kerala
• Kochariya
• Bhayala
• Kalyangadh
• Raipur (Vataman)
• Khanpur
• Kanera
• Kajipura
• Sanand (Kalana, Sachana, Makhiyav)
• Jalisana
• Halol
• Manjusar
• Vadodara
• Bhiwandi (Kurund)

This spread has been planned to support businesses looking for strong connectivity, industrial clustering, and practical access for movement and distribution.

Why this matters for growing businesses

A rollout of this scale creates room for businesses that are:

• Adding new distribution points
• Expanding regional coverage
• Consolidating inventory into fewer, stronger hubs
• Moving into built-to-suit models to reduce operational compromises
• Planning capacity ahead of peak cycles

With BTS planning, teams can look at warehousing not as a fixed cost, but as a space that supports efticiency in movement, handling, and turnaround.

A note of gratitude, and what comes next

On 19 February, as we celebrate Dharam Ji’s birthday, we are also celebrating everyone who has trusted Ashwika Warehousing LLP with their requirements, timelines and growth plans. This announcement reflects the belief that India’s industrial ecosystem needs infrastructure that keeps pace with ambition, and we are committed to building with that intent.

If you are planning warehouse capacity in Gujarat or Maharashtra and you want a built-to-suit solution aligned to your storage type and operations, this is the right time to start the conversation.

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], February 19: greytHR, India’s most trusted full-suite HRMS for hire-to-retire solutions today announced the release of HR Predictions for 2026 – A greytHR Perspective, a flagship insights release based on findings from the 2026 HR Leader Prediction Index, developed from responses by over 500 senior HR leaders and features exclusive viewpoints from experienced HR practitioners and industry leaders.

The Index assesses organisational readiness using greytHR’s HR Prediction Score (HPS), measuring confidence across six dimensions of HR maturity. While results show visible progress across several areas, the data also highlights uneven preparedness as organisations face scale, skills disruption, and rapid AI adoption.

According to the findings, Performance Enablement, Organizational Vitality, and Workforce Experience are showing strong progress.

• Performance Enablement recorded the highest HPS (+66.08), reflecting a shift towards “hard HR,” with systems linking individual output to business strategy becoming central to success.
• Organizational Vitality scored +64.58, indicating healthy leadership pipelines and effective manager training, allowing organisations to take bigger risks with AI and reskilling.
• Workforce Experience scored +61.57, showing a move from perks to stability, with hybrid work models largely stabilised.

Yet, the Index also highlights areas that need attention. Culture & Inclusion, Digital Dilemma, and Talent Agility highlight emerging vulnerabilities.

• Culture and Inclusion scored +59.74, sitting just below the confidence zone; well-being programmes are active, but burnout remains a persistent risk.
• Digital Dilemma scored +57.12, with tech fragmentation diminishing and unified data platforms emerging, though trust in AI and accountability in digital decisions remain uneven.
• Talent Agility was the weakest dimension (+50.39), with skill obsolescence, limited internal mobility, and the need for dynamic skill graphing as key challenges.

The greytHR perspective notes that many of today’s workforce challenges—burnout, stalled career progression, and leadership strain—are structural rather than individual, rooted in how work, skills, and technology are designed and governed. As AI moves from experimentation to operational use, the findings emphasise the need for human-in-the-loop governance, workflow redesign, and AI literacy.

“The future of HR is about intentional design—where performance, skills, leadership, and technology evolve as one connected system. Organisations that integrate these elements thoughtfully can unlock greater potential, foster stronger engagement, and drive sustainable growth in an ever-changing business landscape.” – Girish Rowjee, Co-founder and CEO, greytHR.

“We are at an exciting inflection point where AI and digital systems are becoming integral to how HR operates. The opportunity now is to build intelligent, interoperable platforms that combine strong data foundations with human insight.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 19: Following its successful debut on the BSE SME platform in December 2025, Pajson Agro India Ltd (PAIL) is entering a transformative phase of industrial scaling. With a robust performance recorded in the first nine months of the fiscal year and a clear roadmap for FY26, the company is solidifying its position as a leading integrated player in India’s cashew processing industry.

Nine-Month Performance & Strategic Milestones

The nine-month period ended December 2025 marked a defining phase for Pajson Agro, led by the successful ₹74.45 crore IPO and a decisive scale-up in operations. During the period, the company’s installed capacity stands doubled from 9,000 MT (FY24) to 18,000 MT through expansion at its Anakapalli facility, strengthening its manufacturing base to support future growth.

From a financial standpoint, revenue for 9M FY26 stood at ₹187.78 crore, reflecting strong demand and execution.

B2C Expansion: The “Royal Mewa” brand saw its revenue from white-label branding grow nearly fivefold in just six months, reflecting rapid consumer acceptance.

FY26 Outlook: Target 30–40% Growth

As the company moves toward the full-year mark in March 2026, management expects to deliver a strong growth of 30–40% over FY25. This surge is fuelled by the recent capacity expansion at the existing Anakapalli plant, which has significantly improved processing efficiency and allowed the company to meet rising demand from its 71-strong distributor network.

The Road Ahead: A Long-Term Growth Engine

The deployment of IPO proceeds is already underway, with a primary focus on establishing a second, massive processing facility in Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh. Strategic Execution: Contracts for major project components have been negotiated, ensuring a swift transition to the construction phase.

Capacity Leap: The new facility is slated for trial runs by late 2026, with commercial production expected in Q4 of FY27. This plant is designed to eventually bring the company’s total annual capacity to 53,000 MT. The management anticipates a 10–15% growth in volumes processed from current Anakapalli plant during FY27.

Diversified Growth: The core processing business continues to remain the dominant driver, with a clear strategic focus on expanding institutional customers and strengthening the B2B segment. Meanwhile, the B2C segment recorded strong traction, growing threefold in FY26.

With an expanding geographic footprint across India and supportive government policies, Pajson Agro is well positioned to evolve from a regional processor into a national agro-industrial player. Rising domestic demand and a structurally strong cashew market further reinforce the Company’s long-term growth outlook.
