    Vadodara (Gujarat) [India], December 9: Ratnaveer Precision Engineering Limited, a leader in precision stainless steel manufacturing, has successfully raised ₹185.50 crore through a Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) earlier this month. The company allotted 1.28 crore equity shares at ₹145 each to leading institutional investors, including Arven, Vintage, PCC-Elite Capital Fund, and Beacon Stone I, significantly boosting its paid-up equity capital.

    This capital infusion marks a key milestone as Ratnaveer accelerates growth and international presence. The company is at the advance stage to acquire European precision engineering companies, which brings decades of expertise in precision machining for automotive, aerospace, and defense sectors. These acquisitions position Ratnaveer as a global player with manufacturing capabilities in India, and Europe, while providing access to prestigious Industries such as Automobile, Defence & Aviation.

Our focus remains on innovation, quality, and expanding our international presence to deliver sustainable growth,” said Vijay Sanghvi, Managing Director & CFO of Ratnaveer Precision Engineering.

    In India, Ratnaveer is advancing the electronics industry as one of the country’s first fully integrated high-volume manufacturers of Copper Clad Laminates (CCL) for printed circuit boards. With an annual capacity of 1.6 million sheets, the company targets the import-dependent FR-4 CCL segment, supporting 5G, EV, consumer electronics, and defense sectors.

    Fragsook’s Rise in India’s E-Commerce Sector: Why Millions of Online Shoppers Are Turning to Fragsook for Trust-Centric, ‘Only Original’ Digital Commerce

    New Delhi [India], December 9: Fragsook E-Retail Private Limited is rapidly emerging as one of India’s most trusted and fastest-growing e-commerce platforms, built on the foundation of authenticity, transparency, and customer-first online retailing. With its powerful brand promise, “Only Original,” Fragsook is transforming how Indian consumers perceive trust in online shopping.

    As India’s e-commerce industry moves toward the USD 350-billion milestone, buyers are no longer driven only by discounts or fast deliveries. Instead, they are actively searching for genuine products, verified sellers, secure payments, and reliable post-purchase support.

    This behavioural shift explains why millions of online shoppers are beginning to turn to Fragsook as a trust-centric alternative to mass marketplaces.

    Why Fragsook Is Gaining Buyer Trust Across India

    One of the most searched questions today is “Is Fragsook legit?”

    The answer lies in the company’s strict sourcing policy. Fragsook works only with certified distributors, authorised importers, and verified manufacturers, ensuring that every product listed on the platform is 100% authentic.

    The company’s identity is deeply rooted in its name. The twin “OO” in Fragsook symbolises “Only Original”, reinforcing its zero-tolerance policy toward counterfeit or duplicate products. From fragrances and personal care to lifestyle and premium gifting categories, Fragsook guarantees product originality through controlled procurement and quality auditing.

    Fragsook Reviews, Customer Confidence & Platform Safety

    Search interest in “Fragsook review” and “Is Fragsook safe to buy from?” has seen a steady rise. This reflects increased buyer engagement and growing brand credibility.

    Fragsook maintains verified customer reviews, transparent product descriptions, secure payment gateways, hassle-free return policies, and dedicated customer support.

    The company is also fully registered under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) as a compliant Indian Private Limited Company, further strengthening institutional trust and buyer confidence.

    Category Expansion & Marketplace Strategy

    Fragsook started with a strong presence in fragrances, a category highly sensitive to counterfeits. The platform has now expanded into personal care, grooming & wellness, lifestyle accessories, and premium gifting solutions.

    Between 2025 and 2027, Fragsook plans to onboard 50,000+ curated SKUs, positioning itself as a multi-category trust-first e-commerce marketplace rather than a discount-driven platform.

    Unlike open marketplaces, Fragsook follows a selective seller marketplace model, allowing only verified Indian brands, regional manufacturers, and responsible sellers to list products.

    Fragsook

    Fragsook Technology & Digital Commerce Infrastructure

    Technology is at the core of Fragsook’s digital ecosystem. The platform is upgrading its backend to include real-time inventory intelligence, automated product catalogue enrichment, AI-powered personalised recommendations, multi-warehouse shipping logic, and advanced fraud-detection systems.

    • Omnichannel Growth & Offline Experience Centres:
      Fragsook is preparing to launch Fragsook Experience Centres in key metro cities. These physical stores will allow buyers to test products offline, verify authenticity physically, and place online orders seamlessly.
    • Logistics, Delivery & Fulfillment Network:
      To support nationwide expansion, Fragsook is investing in regional fulfillment warehouses, micro-distribution hubs, and last-mile delivery partnerships.
    • Sustainability & ESG Commitment:
      Fragsook is aligning its operations with global ESG standards through biodegradable packaging pilots, ethical vendor compliance, and responsible sourcing initiatives.
    • Financial Stability & Long-Term Growth Vision:
      While many new-age e-commerce platforms focus only on rapid growth, Fragsook follows a profitable expansion strategy supported by trust-led customer retention.

    Why Millions Of Online Shoppers Are Turning To Fragsook

    Original products, verified sellers, transparent reviews, secure payments, reliable returns, and strong customer support are the key drivers.

    With its head office in New Delhi, Fragsook E-Retail Private Limited is steadily shaping a future where Indian consumers no longer need to question authenticity before clicking “Buy Now.”

  • Y2B Launches Women-Led Growth Initiatives to Strengthen India’s Real Estate Ecosystem

    Y2B Launches Women-Led Growth Initiatives to Strengthen India’s Real Estate Ecosystem

    Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], December 6: Yes2Broker, popularly known as Y2B, India’s first progressive real estate platform, has announced a series of strategic, women-focused initiatives to expand its statewide reach and accelerate inclusive growth across the real estate landscape. As part of its long-term vision, Y2B is introducing structured programs that bring together incentives, entrepreneurship opportunities, and skill development, positioning the company as a catalyst for greater transparency and modernisation in the sector.

    A key highlight of the rollout is the #Yes2Her campaign, designed to encourage women-led property ownership. Under this initiative, customers purchasing property in a woman’s name will be eligible for an assured cashback of ₹1,00,000. To reinforce this commitment, Y2B is also launching a nationwide program to onboard women as Channel Partners, to create one of India’s most significant women-driven sales and distribution networks in real estate. These efforts are expected to significantly enhance the company’s presence across major metros as well as high-potential emerging markets.

    In addition to the assured cashback, women property owners in India enjoy several government and financial benefits, making this initiative even more rewarding. Many states offer reduced stamp duty rates for women, resulting in significant savings on property registration. Women also often qualify for lower home loan interest rates, reducing the overall cost of ownership. Further, tax benefits are available for properties registered in a woman’s name, allowing greater deductions on loan interest payments. Under schemes like the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), women co-owners are eligible for subsidies and interest benefits, further strengthening financial inclusion and homeownership.

    Speaking about these forward-looking initiatives, Ms Rajni Asari, CEO & Co-founder, Y2B, said that the company remains deeply committed to building a progressive ecosystem driven by transparency, professionalism, and equitable opportunities. They emphasised that women are poised to play a transformational role in shaping the future of India’s real estate industry, and Y2B is proud to lead efforts that strengthen participation, ownership, and entrepreneurial growth among women.

    Adding to this, Ms Sugandha Sayal, Co-founder, Y2B, highlighted that empowering women through structured programs like #Yes2Her will not only boost financial independence but also bring fresh leadership and trust into the real estate sector.

    To enable success for its expanding partner base, Y2B is introducing industry-aligned training covering real estate fundamentals, sales and negotiation techniques, market practices, professional certification, and ongoing mentorship. Through these modules, the company aims to create a skilled, consistent, and performance-driven workforce capable of navigating today’s competitive and evolving real estate environment. Channel Partners will also gain access to verified property inventory and qualified buyer leads, improving operational efficiency and helping them achieve stronger sales conversions.

    Beyond capacity building, Y2B’s model also supports women’s financial independence by enabling them to establish their own business units and earn brokerage-based income. This approach strengthens entrepreneurship and contributes to sustainable livelihoods within the industry.

    With these initiatives, Yes2Broker aims to reaffirm its position as a modern, trusted, and inclusive platform committed to enhancing transaction transparency, strengthening partner networks, empowering women-led participation, and driving scalable growth across India.

    Merino Brings ‘The Art of Material Living’ to Life at the Architectural Digest Design Show 2025 in Mumbai & Hyderabad

    New Delhi [India], December 8: Merino Industries Ltd. concluded its participation at the Architectural Digest Design Show 2025 in Mumbai and Hyderabad with an experience that left visitors engaged, curious, and deeply connected to the idea that materials have the power to shape the way we live. Titled “The Art of Material Living,” the installation transformed Merino’s latest surfaces into a sensorial, home-like journey, making it one of the most immersive showcases at the exhibition.

    Celebrity presence added an unmistakable energy to the Merino showcase at the Architectural Digest Design Show 2025. The pavilion welcomed well-known personalities including Ridhi Khosla, Shekhar Suman, and Ayub Khan, each engaging with the material displays and expressing curiosity about the design philosophies behind them. Amy Astley, Global Editorial Director and Editor-in-Chief of Architectural Digest, also visited the Merino installation during the show. Her presence added to the event’s strong industry positioning and highlighted the kind of attention the Architectural Digest Design Show continues to command within global design circles. The interaction proves the show’s reputation as a space where material innovation and contemporary design thinking meaningfully come together. The Hyderabad event was also attended by other prominent personalities like Hameeda Sharma, Chirag Swain, Pallavi Anchuri & Sourojit Ghosh, adding a lot of grace to an incredible showcase.

    Instead of a traditional display of products, Merino presented a fully designed living environment. The booth unfolded like a modern home i.e., thoughtful, warm, and intuitive in the way real spaces are meant to feel. Designed in collaboration with ISTO, the narrative “A Home in Harmony” highlighted the growing desire for interior environments that balance global design cues with nature-inspired surfaces and comfortable, human-centered spaces.

    Every zone reflected a lived-in story. The French Window Lounge set the tone with soft, natural light and calming textures. Visitors gravitated toward this corner because it demonstrated how subtle materials can create emotional ease in contemporary homes. The layered neutrals, linen-toned surfaces, and gentle grain highlights offered a refreshing example of biophilic-inspired living. The Dining Zone became one of the most photographed areas of the booth. A table topped with a super-matte compact surface showed how elegance and everyday practicality support each other in modern homes. The quiet sophistication of the finish, paired with its durable behaviour, sparked conversations among both architects and homeowners looking for functional beauty.

    In the Wine Cellar cum Wardrobe Zone, Merino showcased its oak-inspired synchronous-texture surfaces, demonstrating how deep grain realism can uplift both home and hospitality projects. Visitors were particularly drawn to the way the material carried warmth, craft, and modernity in equal measure(s). The showstopper, however, was the Console and Panelling Wall crafted with the new Grande Collection. Rising to a full 10 feet, the panels created a dramatic sense of scale that stopped visitors in their tracks. The uninterrupted surface lines, rich textures, and deep-emboss finish demonstrated how Grande brings architectural fluidity to large spaces. Designers spent extended time here, exploring the flow of grain, the seamless height, and the visual impact created by its monolithic presence.

    Throughout the event, the booth attracted a significant number of visitors, highlighting the relevance of the collections on display. Among the attendees were architects, interior designers, homeowners, and students who engaged with the space as participants, enquiring about the products and the use cases. The conversations centered around how materials influence emotion, flow, and comfort in modern homes: exactly the dialogue Merino hoped to spark.

    Expressing his gratitude for the warm response, Mr. Manoj Lohia, Director, Merino Industries Ltd., said, “The response in both cities proved something we deeply believe in over the years i.e., design resonates most when it feels personal. People touched the surfaces, viewed them in different lights, and discussed where they belonged in their own homes. That kind of engagement tells us we’re moving in the right direction. The idea behind our showcases in Mumbai and Hyderabad was to highlight how materials influence comfort, emotion, and the flow of a space. When visitors recognise that feeling for themselves, it strengthens our emphasis on creating surfaces that upscale everyday living with simplicity and intention.”

    The Architectural Digest Design Show ‘25 builds upon Merino’s reputation as a design-forward, innovation-strong brand that understands the growing & ever-changing relationship between materials and modern living. Through carefully curated spaces, the company demonstrated how thoughtful surfaces can transform a house into a home, and interiors into experiences that stay with you.
