The newly certified products are intended for early detection and large-scale screening programs, particularly across public health initiatives and institutional procurement channels in Europe, Africa, and other emerging markets. The certifications also enhance Cupid’s eligibility to participate in government tenders, multilateral agency programs, and regulated international healthcare supply chains where EU IVDR compliance is mandatory.

These certifications further reinforce Cupid Limited’s transition into a broader, innovation-led healthcare and diagnostics platform and position the Company to capitalize on rising global demand for accurate, affordable, and rapid diagnostic solutions.

Commenting on the development, Mr. Aditya Kumar Halwasiya, Chairman & Managing Director of Cupid Limited, said “The CE (EU IVDR) certification for our HIV 1&2 and Hepatitis B test kits is a meaningful step in strengthening our global diagnostics business.

Country Club Celebrates Republic Day with the Real Heroes, Launches Chalo Pattaya VIP International Membership Card
Announces Asia’s Biggest ‘Darlings Day Out 2026’

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 29: Country Club, Andheri West marked the spirit of India’s 77th Republic Day with a meaningful and inspiring celebration that beautifully reflected its philosophy of binding communities and contributing to nation building.

This year, the Republic Day celebration stood apart from conventional events. Instead of inviting celebrity figures, Country Club chose to honour the true heroes of the nation—children. The national flag was hoisted in the presence of 50 government school children, along with Country Club members and residents, symbolising hope, unity, and the promise of a brighter tomorrow.

The gathering brought together families, members, and young minds in an atmosphere filled with pride, unity, and respect for the Constitution of India. The presence of children during the flag hoisting served as a reminder that nation building is a collective effort—one that starts at the grassroots level and grows stronger through community bonding.

The event resonated strongly with the ideals of Dr. A P J Abul Kalam Sir, India’s former President and missile man who firmly believed that education is the foundation upon which a strong nation is built. His legacy echoed through the gathering, inspiring the young students to dream fearlessly and believe in their power to shape the nation. He was a practising Muslim, but he lived and led beyond religion. He strongly believed that India’s strength lies in unity, mutual respect, and harmony among all faiths. His closest influences included the Bhagavad Gita, the Quran, and the Bible — he often quoted from all three. As President, he never allowed religion to divide public life and always upheld the secular spirit of the Indian Constitution.

Country Club is pleased to announce its collaboration with Kotchaphorn Garden for its exclusive Chalo Pattaya property. This strategic partnership follows the company’s significant zero-debt milestone and the overwhelming interest from partners to collaborate with Country Club through the franchise route.

Bharat Nutrition and Lifestyle Classroom by Team Luke Goes Live on Republic Day, Free for All

A first-of-its-kind virtual nutrition and lifestyle classroom session for children across India, created in support of PM Narendra Modi ji’s vision of a healthier Bharat.

Mumbai, January 27, 2026: Luke Coutinho, Foundational Medicine and Lifestyle Expert, and Team Luke announced the release of the Bharat Nutrition and Lifestyle Classroom on the 26th of January, 2026. This is an exclusive Republic Day special, with a structured classroom session designed for children across India, free of cost and accessible to every home, school and community.

Created in support of the Hon. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji’s vision of a healthier Bharat, the classroom brings a simple belief to life: when lifestyle education reaches children at the grassroots level, it strengthens families, schools and the nation.

How it All Began: The Story Behind the Bharat Nutrition and Lifestyle Initiatives

Reflecting on the origin of the initiative, Luke, a Wellness Champion for the Hon. Prime Minister’s Fit India Movement, shares, “At the end of February 2025, after a long day of consults, I received a call from our Hon. Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi Ji’s office. It wasn’t routine; we were asked to create a Bharat-inspired dish and lifestyle guidelines aligned with the national vision for a healthier Bharat. In that moment, it didn’t feel like work. It was a responsibility.”

That call set in motion a clear national intent, amplified at NXT Conclave 2025, where Luke was invited by Shri Kartikeya Sharma, Hon. Member of the Rajya Sabha and Founder of the ITV Media Network, to create a Bharat-inspired dish and lifestyle framework aligned with the Hon. Prime Minister’s vision. The NXT Conclave brought together 20+ global leaders and changemakers, and Luke was honoured to be the only keynote speaker in the health and wellness category, addressing the importance of lifestyle and preventive care for our nation.

On 28th February 2025, the Bharat Dish and Lifestyle Plan was unveiled at the NXT Conclave and later shared widely in English and 5+ Indian languages. Built to be simple, familiar, and deeply rooted in Bharat, it included millet khichdi and sattu kadhi, traditional foods, daily lifestyle foundations, and 100+ recipes, anchored by the message: Made in India. Heal in India.

During the same time, Luke also had the opportunity to visit Anganwadi centres and witness Poshan Abhiyaan at the grassroots. The 24-language Poshan Tracker reinforced a truth the team carried forward: lasting health begins early, with children.

From a Bharat-inspired Plan to a Nation-wide Education Mission

On 1st March 2025, Luke met our Hon. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji. His message to Luke was clear: “If we are to build a healthier Bharat, then we must begin with children and start at the very grassroots, because they are our future.”

In March 2025, Team Luke expanded access further by launching the Bharat Nutrition and Lifestyle Plan, a free, downloadable offering designed for schools, principals, teachers, parents and institutions across India, helping school canteens, home kitchens, and tiffin boxes return to balance, nourishment and common sense. The initiative has since reached thousands, continuing to expand.

On 1st May 2025, Team Luke launched India’s first Bharat School Menu and Lifestyle Plan, a free monthly initiative offering balanced, child-friendly menus and simple lifestyle guidance in English and Hindi, designed to be simple, seasonal, and rooted in Indian food wisdom. The plan is inclusive, with vegan, vegetarian, and non-vegetarian options to support diverse Indian households.

Recognising that awareness without continuity fades, Team Luke then introduced free online weekend Bharat Nutrition and Lifestyle Classrooms in English and Hindi, designed not as lectures, but as conversations with children and caregivers. These sessions were primarily led by Luke and Priyanka Vithlani, Meal Analyst and Lifestyle as Foundational Medicine Expert at Team Luke.

A New Phase of the Bharat Nutrition and Lifestyle Classroom

This Republic Day marks a new phase of the Bharat Nutrition and Lifestyle Classroom, introducing India’s first structured, curriculum-based, virtual lifestyle education program for children. The special classroom session is built on five pillars: nutrition, exercise and movement, sleep, emotional wellness and yoga. From awareness to education. From sessions to structure. From inspiration to curriculum. It is free, culturally rooted and age-appropriate, focused on foundations, not quick fixes.

As Luke shares, reflecting the intent behind the classroom, “What you are seeing here is not a campaign or a project. It is a responsibility we felt deeply as Indians to contribute something meaningful to the future of our country.”

This initiative has been championed since its inception by Shri Kartikeya Sharma, Hon. Member of the Rajya Sabha and Founder of the ITV Media Network, and Dr. Aishwarya Pandit Sharma, Chairperson of the ITV Foundation, whose support and endorsement have played a pivotal role in taking this vision forward.

Availability: The Bharat Nutrition and Lifestyle Classroom is now available free of cost on Team Luke’s official YouTube channel.
