New Delhi [India], September 20: Every woman dreams of feeling energetic, confident, and comfortable in her own body.
But today, many women silently struggle with constant fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, irregular cycles, skin breakouts, and brain fog.

For some, it’s PCOS.
For others, it’s thyroid issues or hormonal imbalance.
And most are told, “Just take this medicine.”

But nobody asks them what they are eating.

The Heart Behind Diet2Nourish: Journey of the Best Dietician in Delhi

This is where Dt. Priyanka Jaiswal, Delhi’s trusted clinical nutritionist and the compassionate founder of Diet2Nourish, steps in.

For over 15 years, she has been helping women from all walks of life heal naturally through food not pills, crash diets, or extreme routines, but real Indian meals made with care and backed by science.

Her goal isn’t just to change bodies.
It’s to bring women back to themselves to help them smile in the mirror, enjoy their meals again, and feel hopeful about their health.

Understanding Hormones  And Why They Matter So Much

Hormones are like tiny switches that control your mood, energy, metabolism, sleep, fertility, and even your skin.

When they go out of balance, your body feels it:

• Your weight won’t budge
• Your periods become irregular
• Your skin breaks out
• You feel tired, anxious, and unlike yourself

And while quick medications can mask the symptoms, Priyanka believes true healing starts with what’s on your plate.

The Diet2Nourish Way: Gentle, Personal, and 100% Doable

Every woman’s body is different and so should be her diet.
At Diet2Nourish, Priyanka creates deeply personalized, practical Indian meal plans that work with your lifestyle, not against it.

Here’s what makes her approach life-changing:

• Wholesome Indian foods — Fresh veggies, dals, seeds, nuts, ghee, cold-pressed oils
• Balanced nutrients — Right mix of carbs, protein, and good fats to support insulin and cortisol
• Anti-inflammatory recipes — Calm the hidden inflammation that disrupts hormones
• Condition-based plans — PCOS, thyroid, PMS, perimenopause, postpartum recovery, menopause
• Emotional hand-holding — Weekly check-ins, small tweaks, constant encouragement

No crash diets. No expensive supplements. Just real food, real care, and real results.

The Hormone-Healing Nutrients She Focuses On

• Magnesium (spinach, almonds): Soothes the nervous system and improves sleep
• Zinc & Selenium (eggs, pumpkin seeds): Boost thyroid health and fertility
• Fiber (fruits, oats, dals): Flushes out excess estrogen and balances sugar levels
• Healthy fats (coconut, ghee, flaxseeds): Fuel hormone production and improve mood
• B Vitamins (bananas, leafy greens): Reduce fatigue and support ovulation

Why Women Around the World Trust Her

Because Priyanka doesn’t just give a diet plan
she walks with every woman until they feel whole again.

How It All Began

Priyanka’s journey started when a close loved one was struggling with lifestyle diseases.
No medicine worked  until she began changing their meals. Slowly, they regained their energy and happiness.

That’s when Priyanka knew:
“I want to help every woman experience this kind of healing.”

And she’s been doing it ever since  with empathy, patience, and powerful results.

Durg (Chhattisgarh) [India], September 22: Gurunanak Agriculture India Limited (GNAIL), a Chhattisgarh-based farm equipment maker, will hit the capital markets with a ₹28.8 crore Initial Public Offering (IPO) later this month. The company said the issue will open on September 24 and close on September 26, with shares proposed to be listed on the NSE Emerge platform.

The fixed-price issue involves the sale of 38.4 lakh equity shares at ₹75 each (face value ₹10). The minimum bid lot has been set at 1,600 shares. Post-issue, promoter holding will stand at 68%, down from nearly 100% currently.

Expansion Push

Proceeds from the IPO will be used to set up a new harvester manufacturing unit, fund working capital needs, and meet general corporate expenses. The company aims to scale its annual capacity to 300 harvesters, 4,000 threshers and 4,000 other farm machines such as rotavators, reapers, and cultivators.

“From day one, our mission has been to serve India’s farmers with technology that makes their work easier and more productive. This IPO represents a new chapter in our journey – one that allows us to expand our capabilities, bring in new technologies, and contribute more meaningfully to India’s agricultural growth,” said Harjeet Singh, Managing Director of GNAIL.

Strong Financials

The company reported a net profit of ₹6.05 crore in FY25, up from ₹2.45 crore in FY24 and ₹0.61 crore in FY23. Revenues were broadly stable at ₹43.85 crore in FY25, while operating margins improved sharply to 22.23%, compared to 12.2% in FY24.

Return on net worth also surged to 49.3%, reflecting improved operational efficiency. Total borrowings fell to ₹4.66 crore in FY25, down from over ₹10.5 crore the previous year.

Market Footprint

Incorporated in 2010, GNAIL manufactures threshers, harvesters, rotavators, reapers, and cultivators, with a strong presence across seven states including Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Punjab, and Andhra Pradesh.

Its combined harvester, launched recently, has seen strong demand among farmers due to its advanced features and cost efficiency. The company operates through a network of 48 dealers, besides co-branded partnerships and direct sales from its Raipur factory.

GNAIL owns 4.08 hectares of land in Durg, with 1.16 lakh sq. ft. dedicated to manufacturing facilities, 0.98 lakh sq. ft. for stocking, and 2.25 lakh sq. ft. available for future expansion.

Sector Context

India is the world’s second-largest producer of foodgrains, fruits, and vegetables, and the largest producer of milk, pulses, and spices. With over 55% of the population dependent on agriculture, mechanisation is seen as a critical lever for productivity.

Industry experts note that rising labour costs, government subsidies, and rural financing schemes are fuelling demand for modern farm machinery. According to Inc42, the Indian agri-machinery sector is projected to touch $24 billion by 2025.

Promoters & Management

The company is promoted by Harjeet Singh (Managing Director), Jaspreet Kaur (Whole-Time Director), and Kamaljeet Singh Kalsi (Non-Executive Director). While Singh oversees overall strategy and growth, Kaur focuses on finance and governance, and Kalsi contributes to R&D and technology.

New Delhi [India], September 20: Back then, men’s fashion carried a consistent & predictable look without much variation. The case where there was a festive occasion the individual would wear a simple kurta, a suit if there was a very important function & on a wedding, the person would borrow something and wear it. Their main concern was how useful the clothing was. The only purpose the clothing served was “to do the job. Change over the last 20 years has been noticeable and more than years ago. It was during this period that men began caring more about their clothing, not only from the mandatory angle, but because they appreciated it. Individual grooming became more structured. The idea of fashion became more universal and was not only customized for women. Men now are more inquisitive. There is a common discourse on lookbooks and the latest fashion. The whole idea of a ‘tailor’ has evolved from an individual that focuses purely clothing to one that understands the latest trends on cuts. Men even engage in arguments to determine the best pastel color to wear for the Haldi ceremony. Today, fashion for men represents more than clothing, it reflects who they are and how they live. The shift is almost crystal clear even in ethnic and wedding attires. Previously, 90% of grooms had the same look; a traditional sherwani, complete with golden embroidery, a matching standard dupatta and of course, the same silhouette. Nowadays, men feel the need to have their wedding outfits match the wedding’s overall theme, their outfits should reflect a part of their personality& finally should be able to stand out at least to same level as the bride’s attire.

Almost every single piece of ‘ethnic wear’, along with tradition, is slowly finding it’s place in everyday wear, like festivals, office celebrations, casual family functions & even casual dinners.

Nawab Parker: A Brand with Purpose

At Nawab Parker, every piece of clothing is designed with today’s man in mind. The collections aren’t just about fabric and thread they’re about identity, confidence & comfort. Whether it’s a breathable cotton kurta for a casual family dinner or an intricately embroidered sherwani for a grand wedding, Nawab Parker ensures that men feel good in what they wear, not restricted by it.

The brand’s kurta pajamas strike the balance between classic and contemporary. A single kurta from Nawab Parker can be paired with a churidar for tradition, with denim for casual outings or with a Nehru jacket for a festive upgrade. This versatility is exactly what modern men are looking for.

Why Men Across India Choose Nawab Parker

Ask anyone who has shopped at Nawab Parker& you’ll hear the same points:

• Designs that stand out without losing cultural touch.

• Perfect fits made for today’s lifestyle.

• Premium quality fabrics that feel as good as they look.

• Affordable luxury making style accessible without compromise.

It’s no surprise that grooms, professionals & young men alike are turning to Nawab Parker when they want to look their best. From festive gatherings to once-in-a-lifetime occasions, the brand has become a trusted choice.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 19: A weak global market environment impacted LANXESS’ results in the second quarter of 2025. The specialty chemicals company achieved an EBITDA pre exceptionals of EUR 150 million, which is a 17.1 percent decline compared with the figure of EUR 181 million from the same quarter last year. Weaker demand in general was accompanied by lower sales volumes in all segments. The sale of the Urethane Systems business unit effective April 1, 2025, also contributed significantly to the decline in earnings. Second-quarter sales amounted to EUR 1.466 billion, down 12.6 percent on the prior-year figure of EUR 1.678 billion.

“The economic environment has deteriorated significantly again in recent months. Additionally, ongoing tariff discussions with the U.S. are causing considerable market uncertainty and exacerbating the situation for the European chemical industry. There is currently no improvement in sight for the economic situation,” says Matthias Zachert, CEO of LANXESS. “For us, this means continuing to focus fully on achieving the best possible positioning in the market, as well as in terms of costs, structures, and processes. When the economy picks up again, we will be ready and able to meet the additional demand much more efficiently and profitably.”

The EBITDA margin pre exceptionals was 10.2 percent in the second quarter, compared with 10.8 percent in the same period last year.

Due to the expected continued weak demand for the remainder of the year, LANXESS is adjusting its guidance for fiscal year 2025 and now anticipates an EBITDA pre exceptionals of between EUR 520 million and EUR 580 million. This includes a burden of EUR 10 million related to supply restrictions from a chlorine supplier. The Group had previously anticipated earnings of between EUR 600 million and EUR 650 million.

Further significant debt reduction through sale of Urethane Systems

On April 1, 2025, LANXESS sold its Urethane Systems business to Japan’s UBE Corporation, thereby divesting its last remaining polymer business. This transaction marked the final major step in the restructuring of the portfolio toward specialty chemicals.

The business unit’s contribution to earnings is no longer included in the quarterly figures. LANXESS used the proceeds from the sale to redeem the EUR 500 million benchmark bond that matured in May 2025. The proceeds from the sale reduced the company’s net financial debt by 18 percent from EUR 2.512 billion in the first quarter of 2025 to EUR 2.069 billion in the second quarter of 2025.

Despite the difficult market conditions, the company generated positive free cash flow of EUR 31 million in the second quarter.

Further optimization of the global production network

To actively counteract the global weakness in demand, LANXESS is further optimizing its global production network. The Group has already brought forward the closure of its hexane oxidation facility at the Krefeld-Uerdingen site to the end of the second quarter of 2025. LANXESS also plans to streamline its global network of aroma chemicals plants and shut down production at its Widnes site (UK) in the course of 2026. Due to high costs, the company can no longer operate the Widnes site competitively. At the El Dorado site (USA), LANXESS plans to increase efficiency of bromine production. These measures are expected to result in permanent annual savings of EUR 50 million from the end of 2027.
