  • Warburg Pincus, Creation Investments Continue to Be Fusion Promoters as Founder Promoter seek reclassification

    Warburg Pincus, Creation Investments Continue to Be Fusion Promoters as Founder Promoter seek reclassification

    Former Fusion Finance Promoters Devesh Sachdev and Family Seek Reclassification to Public Shareholder Category

    New Delhi [India], March 10: Honey Rose Investment Ltd. (an affiliate of Warburg Pincus), along with Creation Investments Fusion LLC and Creation Investments Fusion II LLC, will continue as promoters of Fusion Finance Ltd. The development comes following the request from the existing promoter, Mr. Devesh Sachdev and his family trust, to reclassify their status from ‘Promoter & Promoter Group’ to the ‘Public’ category.

    In the stock exchange filings dated February 21 and February 27, Fusion Finance had said it has received requests from Mr. Devesh Sachdev, Mrs. Mini Sachdev, and M/s. Devesh Sachdev Family Trust to reclassify their status from the ‘Promoter & Promoter Group’ category shareholder to ‘Public’ category shareholder. The reclassification is subject to approval by the stock exchanges, followed by shareholders’ approval.

    Reasons for the reclassification

    The Board of Directors of Fusion Finance has approved the reclassification, as Mr. Devesh Sachdev & Family do not exercise any direct or indirect control over Fusion Finance and do not influence its management or policy decisions. Similarly, they don’t have any representation on the Company’s Board and don’t participate in any manner in the Company’s day-to-day activities. Additionally, certain special rights previously granted to Mr. Devesh Sachdev were terminated vide shareholder approval dated January 7, 2026, and the corresponding provisions in the Articles of Association have accordingly ceased to be in effect.

    Accordingly, Honey Rose Investment Ltd. (Warburg Pincus), Creation Investments Fusion LLC, and Creation Investments Fusion II LLC remain as the promoters of the company, cumulatively holding more than 52% stake in the company.

    Shareholders approved amendments to Fusion’s Articles of Association (AoA)

    In January 2026, shareholders approved amendments to the Articles of Association, inter alia, removing special rights previously available to Mr. Devesh Sachdev, thereby aligning the governance framework with the Company’s current professionally managed structure. The proposed reclassification is a natural progression of the governance transition already effected, ensuring that shareholding classification accurately reflects Fusion Finance’s evolved management and control structure.

    Focused on growth

    Fusion Finance is focusing on its growth and expanding its business, with Mr Sanjay Garyali as its Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer. The company recently completed and raised Rs. 800 crore through a rights issue in April 2025 and Dec 2025, witnessing participation from existing institutional investors, including promoters Warburg Pincus & Creation Investments. As of December 2025, the company had assets under Management (AUM) of INR 6,876 crore, and a network of 1,537 branches spread across 22 states, including 3 Union Territories.

  • Dr. Vini Jhariya — Building India’s Integrated Child Development Ecosystem

    Dr. Vini Jhariya — Building India’s Integrated Child Development Ecosystem

    Indore (Madhya Pradesh) [India], March 10: In a country where rising academic pressure, increasing neurodevelopmental concerns, and limited early awareness leave thousands of families searching for answers, Dr. Vini Jhariya is working to transform how India understands childhood itself. At a time when children are often labeled before they are understood, she is building systems that place clarity, structure, and dignity at the center of development.

    Her journey into child psychology began long before her professional career—it began in her own classroom.

    As a child, Dr. Vini struggled academically despite being intelligent and capable. She failed in examinations, leaving her parents confused and without clear guidance. There was no awareness around learning differences, no structured assessments, and no roadmap for intervention. One question stayed with her:

    “Why does a smart child fail in a system that measures only one kind of ability?”

    Determined to find answers, she pursued psychology not just as a subject—but as a solution. That personal search evolved into a professional mission: ensuring that no child is misunderstood because systems fail to see their strengths.

    With over a decade of clinical and child psychology experience, Dr. Vini has worked with thousands of children across domains including autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, learning disabilities, emotional regulation challenges, developmental delays, and behavioral concerns. Her work is grounded in standardized psychological assessments, evidence-based interventions, and structured developmental planning—ensuring that support is scientific, measurable, and individualized.

    But what truly differentiates her is not only clinical expertise—it is ecosystem thinking.

    Recognizing the fragmentation between assessment, therapy, schooling, and parental guidance in India, she founded Urjasvini Child Development Center and Urjasvini Special School in Indore—creating an integrated model where evaluation, intervention, inclusive education, and family training operate under one coordinated framework. This continuity reduces confusion, accelerates progress, and strengthens long-term developmental outcomes.

    Her philosophy is both simple and powerful:

    • A child is never the problem.
    • The absence of understanding is.
    • And understanding must always precede intervention.

    Dr. Vini challenges deficit-driven narratives and instead promotes strength-based development, functional independence, and structured skill-building. She believes early identification and informed parenting can significantly alter a child’s trajectory—not just academically, but emotionally and socially.

    Beyond her clinical practice, she is deeply committed to awareness. She continuously conducts workshops across schools, institutions, and professional platforms—educating parents, teachers, and communities about neurodevelopment, mental health literacy, inclusive education, and early screening. By simplifying psychological science into culturally relevant guidance, she is helping Indian families move from fear to informed action.

    Her contributions have earned her multiple awards recognizing her impact in child development and mental health advocacy. Yet her broader vision extends far beyond recognition. She is working toward normalizing psychological assessment, strengthening inclusive educational frameworks, and positioning early intervention as a national priority rather than a privilege.

    Dr. Vini Jhariya represents a new generation of Indian psychologists—where lived experience shapes empathy, scientific rigor shapes intervention, and leadership is measured not only in qualifications, but in systems built and futures strengthened.

    She is not just supporting children.

    She is building an ecosystem where every child—especially those who struggle—has the structure, understanding, and opportunity to rise.

  • Florra Living: Combining Design, Technology, and 3D Printing in Modern Lighting

    Florra Living: Combining Design, Technology, and 3D Printing in Modern Lighting

    New Delhi [India], March 10:  Lighting today is no longer viewed as just a functional element inside a home. It has become an important part of interior design, influencing the mood and overall character of a space. From cozy bedrooms to relaxing reading corners, lighting plays a significant role in shaping how a home feels. As modern interior styles continue to evolve, homeowners are increasingly searching for lighting that blends aesthetics, comfort, and thoughtful design. Florra Living is one of the emerging Indian brands exploring this shift by focusing on lighting that combines design, technology, and atmosphere.

    Florra Living focuses on creating mood lighting and aesthetic lamps designed for modern Indian homes. Instead of producing traditional lamps that simply prioritize brightness, the brand aims to design lighting pieces that enhance the ambiance of a room. Inspired by contemporary décor trends, many Florra Living designs follow minimalist and Pinterest-inspired aesthetics that are becoming increasingly popular in modern home interiors. These lamps are intended to act not only as lighting fixtures but also as decorative elements that contribute to the overall visual feel of a space.

    A strong part of the brand’s philosophy is its Made in India approach, where design and production are developed with Indian homes and lifestyles in mind. By combining thoughtful design with modern manufacturing techniques, Florra Living aims to create lamps that feel both stylish and practical for everyday living environments.
    Florra Living: Combining Design, Technology, and 3D Printing in Modern Lighting-PNN

    Technology also plays an important role in the design process. To develop unique forms and lighting structures, Florra Living uses a combination of design experimentation and engineering-driven prototyping. Advanced tools are used to explore different shapes and structures, allowing the team to refine designs and test new ideas before final production. In several cases, 3D printing technology is used to develop prototypes and complex lamp forms, enabling creative designs that would be difficult to achieve through conventional methods.

    Alongside modern design technology, the brand also incorporates handcrafted elements in many of its lamps. Hand assembly and manual finishing processes allow the products to maintain a sense of craftsmanship and attention to detail. By blending modern production techniques with handcrafted finishing, Florra Living aims to bring together technology and artistry within its lighting designs.

    The brand was founded by Sohel Khan, Computer Science engineer who currently working as a brand strategist. He started Florra Living with the goal of building a modern Indian décor brand that combines technology with thoughtful product design. He is joined by Farah Khan, cofounder of Florra Living and a 3D design artist with a background in BBA, who is responsible for designing many of the lamp concepts and prototypes that shape the brand’s visual identity.

    This combination of design creativity, technology, and craftsmanship allows Florra Living to explore lighting styles that go beyond conventional lamps. Some designs are developed through engineering-led experimentation, while others are refined through hands-on craftsmanship, creating a balance between innovation and artistic detail.

    The growing interest in aesthetic lighting reflects a broader shift in how people approach home décor. Many homeowners are gradually moving away from traditional lamps that serve only a functional role and are instead choosing lighting pieces that contribute to the atmosphere of their living spaces. Soft glow table lamps, sculptural lighting forms, and decorative lighting accents are becoming increasingly common in modern interiors.

    As interior design continues to evolve and homeowners seek more expressive décor solutions, lighting is becoming one of the most important tools for shaping the character of a home. Florra Living represents a growing category of design-focused lighting brands in India that are combining modern design thinking, technological innovation, and handcrafted detailing to create lighting suited for contemporary living spaces.
