Trivandrum (Kerala) [India], August 6: Kerala launched Zero Footmarks by India’s VKC, the first responsible disposal of post-consumer footwear in India. India’s VKC in association with Suchitwa Mission of Kerala Government launched this landmark project in India.

Zero Footmarks was launched by India’s VKC Chairman, Sri. VKC Mammed Koya at Trivandrum.

The pilot project was rolled out at Trivandrum, the capital city of Kerala today.

India’s VKC plans to extend this project throughout the whole of India including the remotest villages in India, the way it launched India’s first ShopLocal programme in the country to bring back footfalls in the neighbourhood shops after the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Zero Footmarks by India’s VKC is a unique project in India and probably the first in Asia that collects post-consumer footwear from the common man and helps them create value for the society. 

Zero Footmarks by India’s VKC is a project that creates responsible citizens and it streamlines a new responsibility in creating a conscious customer. The project was conceived by the Managing Director of India’s VKC, Sri. VKC Razak in response to a letter to the Footwear Manufacturers in Kerala by the Executive Director of Suchitwa Mission, Kerala, Sri U. V. Jose IAS (Rtd.), on the need for Footwear Waste Management in December 2024.

The project is a very simple exercise – the customer can buy any brand from India’s VKC from the listed shop in the neighbourhood and India’s VKC will take the responsibility of disposing of the used footwear of the customer responsibly. One post-consumer footwear can be returned only for one footwear purchase of any brand from India’s VKC.

The collected post-consumer footwear is then picked up by a responsible partner and it is recycled if it is fit for recycling or if it is not recyclable, it is disposed of responsibly.

Zero Footmarks is India’s first footwear project that creates a value for post-consumer footwear.

The project has multiple dimensions – the local neighbourhood shop keepers are engaged as collection centres, the customers are educated on the need to return their used footwear to these listed shops and about disposing post-consumer footwear responsibly, a sustainability focused partner is associated to pick up the post-consumer footwear from these shops, segregate it as recyclable and non-recyclable, the recyclable ones are recycled and the non-recyclable ones are disposed of responsibly.

Zero Footmarks project is an innovative project to create responsible citizens who are responsible for knowing where the post-consumer footwear is going as waste. This is a direction for the society to have a concern about how the waste generated is disposed of responsibly. 

As an innovative idea, the Zero Footmarks project also creates a productive thinking process regarding the waste disposal for children and the younger generation.

“Zero Footmarks is all about creating a Conscious Customer, who is concerned about the future of planet earth and how the consumption wastage is disposed of responsibly to have a cleaner planet for the generations to come”, said VKC Razak, Managing Director, India’s VKC.

Zero Footmarks project is focused on creating a good customer consciousness similar to the ShopLocal project rolled out by India’s VKC with the intention of bringing back the customers to the neighbourhood shops across India, in the aftermath of the COVID 19 pandemic. India’s VKC Shop local programme in 2021 engaged close to 2 lakh neighbourhood shops across India.

Kochi (Kerala) [India], August 6:  “Reimagine Kerala 2025” concluded as a dynamic, high-energy exchange of ideas, marking the official establishment of the Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Kerala Council.

This unique approach fostered a sense of urgency and possibility, as voices from across Kerala’s entrepreneurial, academic, creative and industrial communities shared visions both bold and deeply rooted in local realities, aiming to shape the state’s future growth story.

The ideas presented reflected a unique blend of innovation, sustainability and cultural relevance, showcasing the vast potential within Kerala.

Discussions ranged across healthcare reform, agritech, startup talent engines and digital creative hubs, underscoring the diversity of Kerala’s strengths and a collective appetite for reimagining what’s possible for the state.

The event saw enthusiastic participation from around 100 attendees, including prominent business leaders, entrepreneurs and ecosystem enablers from across Kerala, creating a vibrant platform for dialogue and collaboration.

Surat (Gujarat) [India], August 6: A few years ago, catching an IMAX film meant a long drive to Ahmedabad or a flight to Mumbai. It wasn’t a casual evening plan – it was a commitment. That’s what made last weekend feel different in Surat. For the first time, folks walked into a theatre right here in the city, grabbed their popcorn, and settled into an IMAX auditorium. No travel. No compromise.

The credit goes to Rajhans Cinemas, who recently launched the city’s first IMAX screen at their Precia multiplex. It’s part of their 14-screen setup – one of the largest in the country – but this one screen is already making the most noise.

Inside, it’s not just bigger. The screen curves slightly, the sound fills the space from all angles, and scenes feel a bit more alive. For a city that loves its cinema, this feels like a quiet upgrade that many didn’t know they were waiting for.

A Practical Leap, Not Just a Flashy One

To be fair, Surat isn’t new to luxury theatres. But IMAX, with its specific technology – laser projection, high-contrast visuals, and that signature immersive audio – was still out of reach. Not anymore.

“This isn’t about bringing a trend to Surat,” says Jayesh Desai, Chairman of Rajhans Group. “It’s about matching expectations. Audiences today are very aware of what’s possible. They deserve the best, wherever they are.”

And from what we’ve seen, the interest has been solid. Bookings were steady from day one. Shows filled up, especially for action films and big-budget releases. People came back for second viewings. Some just came out of curiosity.

What’s interesting is how natural it all feels. The IMAX experience hasn’t been hyped up too much – it’s simply been made available. And people have responded in their own way.

Not Just Bigger Cities Anymore

In India, IMAX screens are still mostly seen in major metros – Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore. Surat’s inclusion in that list is a sign of the times. Cities outside the top tier are growing fast. People have more disposable income, higher expectations, and a stronger pull toward shared experiences.

Rajhans Cinemas seems to have understood that shift. Their network is growing rapidly, with over 160 screens already running across the country and new projects underway in places like Noida, Chandigarh, Pune, and Chennai. But this move in Surat feels personal.

Maybe because it’s home ground for them. Or maybe because it’s the kind of city where word-of-mouth still matters more than marketing.

A Theatre That Feels Like a Choice Again

There was a time when people questioned the future of movie theatres. With so many streaming platforms and massive home TVs, why go out? But the IMAX experience reminds you – some things still feel different when shared.

Films like superhero sagas or high-stakes thrillers just hit harder with booming sound and large visuals. More importantly, they bring people together. In Surat, that’s always been part of the charm – going to the movies is still a group affair, not just an individual escape.

“Introducing IMAX was something we planned for a long time,” Jayesh Desai adds. “We wanted to do it right. Seeing people enjoy it, without us needing to oversell it, feels like a win.”

There’s a quiet confidence in that. No big banners, no celebrity cut-ribbons – just a better experience, offered simply. With 65 additional screens across 15 locations under development and slated for completion by mid-2026, Rajhans Cinemas is redefining how India watches movies.

What Comes Next?

It’s early days still, but the early signs are encouraging. IMAX in Surat isn’t just a novelty – it’s becoming a regular part of weekend plans. And that’s the real success here. Not flashy launches, but steady, honest adoption.

If anything, it shows that good experiences don’t need dramatic packaging. Sometimes, just making something accessible is enough. Rajhans Cinemas has done that with IMAX. And Surat, with its usual no-fuss spirit, has welcomed it just as quietly.

It’s not the kind of revolution that makes headlines. But it is the kind that changes habits.
