New Delhi [India], October 15:  Fashion today is more than what you wear — it’s how you own it, how you speak through it, and how you live in it. Enter Boonne Fashions, a premium fashion label designed for the bold, the confident, and the effortlessly stylish — those who command attention not by shouting, but by showing up as their most unapologetic selves.

Set to launch soon, Boonne Fashions is not just another addition to India’s fashion scene. It’s a high-end style movement for individuals who create trends without trying, who define elegance on their own terms, and who view fashion as a form of authentic self-expression.

“The Indian clothing industry has long been saturated with fast fashion and repetitive trends, leaving a discerning audience unaddressed. With Boonne, we wanted to fill that gap by creating sleek, personalized wardrobes for people who express individuality through fashion as much as we do,” said Khushboo Singh, Co-Founder, Boonne Fashions.

Founded by Khushboo Singh and Surabhi Bhawsar, Boonne Fashions was born from a shared vision, distinct flair, and deep-rooted intuition for style. Both founders bring strong fashion industry experience and a design philosophy that places authenticity and individuality at the forefront.

Each garment embodies refinement, edge, and personality, offering timeless pieces for both men and women that go beyond trends to create them. Whether it’s the boardroom, city streets, or milestone celebrations, Boonne is envisioned as an extension of one’s boldest energy and most refined self.

“Boonne stands for individuality and substance — every piece tells a story and reflects intentional design”, said Surabhi Bhawsar, Co-Founder, Boonne Fashions.

The brand’s aesthetic is minimal yet impactful, bold yet deeply personal, chic yet accessible. Every collection is crafted for those who dress with intention — confident in their choices yet grounded in sophistication.

Boonne Fashions believes that fashion is an experience, not a transaction. Each piece is designed as storytelling — merging global influences with local relevance, and celebrating diverse body types with premium craftsmanship. For Boonne, real luxury lies in being seen, heard, and felt — without saying a word.

As India’s fashion market evolves, Boonne enters as a refreshing alternative, moving away from mass-produced trends to celebrate individuality, authenticity, and timeless elegance.

About Boonne Fashions

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 14: Mumbai’s education map just got a power upgrade. The VIBGYOR Group of Schools, a heavyweight in India’s K–12 arena, is setting up a brand-new Roots & Rise campus in Gorai, Borivali West — and it’s designed to turn young learners into all-round achievers before they even realize what “report cards” mean.

A Smart Expansion in the Right Zip Code

You don’t just open a school. You plant an ecosystem.
That’s precisely what VIBGYOR is doing at L.T. Road, near the Adani Power Substation in Gorai 3. This isn’t another glass-and-grass facility. It’s a purpose-built hub for holistic development — the kind where kids don’t just memorize equations but learn how to solve life.

The new VIBGYOR Roots & Rise campus will offer primary, secondary, and higher secondary education under the CBSE board, with an equal push on academics, athletics, and arts. Translation: Students will juggle algebra and judo with the same confidence.

Curriculum That Trains Minds, Not Just Grades

At a time when most schools still treat education like a memory marathon, VIBGYOR’s approach is refreshingly pragmatic.
Its comprehensive curriculum is built to engage curious minds through exploration, not regurgitation. The focus? Building critical thinkers who can reason, problem-solve, and communicate — the survival skills every boardroom (and battlefield) demands.

In an age when AI writes essays faster than students can finish breakfast, VIBGYOR is doubling down on the human edge. Expect interactive lessons, project-based learning, and the kind of creative space that nudges kids to ask “why” before they accept “because.”

Teachers Who Do More Than Teach

Great infrastructure can’t fix poor instruction. That’s why VIBGYOR has stacked its faculty bench with qualified, passionate educators who don’t just deliver lessons — they deliver outcomes. The idea is simple: inspired teachers inspire students.

The classroom vibe here isn’t “sit, listen, repeat.” It’s dynamic, engaging, and occasionally unpredictable — the good kind of unpredictable, where curiosity leads the way.

Campus Built Like a Safe Haven

Parents know the drill — the first thing they check isn’t the syllabus, it’s safety. The Gorai campus doesn’t disappoint.

Think well-lit classrooms, open play zones, CCTV surveillance, and trained security personnel. Add to that a team of support staff who actually care — not the checkbox kind of “care,” but the “every child gets home happy” kind.

In a city where traffic and tension never sleep, a secure, vibrant campus is no small win.

Parental Partnership, Not Paperwork

Education works best when parents aren’t treated like ATMs or occasional spectators. VIBGYOR’s collaborative parent engagement model brings families into the fold — through regular interactions, transparent progress tracking, and conversations that go beyond report cards.

Because let’s face it — real learning doesn’t end at 3 p.m.

A Vision That’s Consistent — and Proven

Speaking about the new campus, Rustom Kerawalla, Founder Chairman of the VIBGYOR Group, said it with trademark conviction:

“VIBGYOR was built to give our future leaders an environment to grow and thrive intellectually, artistically, athletically, and morally. With Gorai, we’re taking that vision further — creating a safe, secure space where every child can discover their passions and prepare for a demanding new world.”

And it’s not just rhetoric. The Group’s reputation comes with receipts — multiple industry awards, including Outstanding School Group in Tech Practices (ET Excellence Awards 2025) and Excellence in Sports & Physical Education Initiatives (TechEDU India Summit & Awards 2025). When you consistently win at innovation and sports, you’re not just a school; you’re a system that works.

Two Decades of Reinventing Education

VIBGYOR didn’t appear overnight. Founded in 2004, the Group has been fine-tuning the formula for quality education for over 20 years. It’s already home to over 50,000 students across 40 schools in 15 major cities, serving as a benchmark for others still figuring out what “K–12 excellence” means.

It’s not just quantity; it’s credibility.
Recognised as Best Education Brand of 2023 by The Economic Times and Top Education Brand 2024 by BW Education for Academic Excellence, VIBGYOR continues to set the bar — and then raise it again.

Under the leadership of Rustom Kerawalla, the Group has built a platform that combines global educational practices with Indian sensibilities. With curricula affiliated to CISCE, CBSE, and Cambridge International, students graduate not just with marks, but with a mindset.

Education That Ages Well

In India’s crowded schoolscape, buzzwords are cheap. But VIBGYOR’s consistent delivery — from infrastructure to innovation — has made it the gold standard for progressive education.

As the Gorai campus opens its doors, it’s not just another milestone. It’s a statement:
Education can be safe, smart, and seriously fun — all at once.

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], October 14: This Diwali, Ahmedabad’s Agravatam Modern Ayurvedic Kitchen is rewriting the festive menu — ditching grease for ghee, toxins for taste, and chaos for calm. Welcome to a festival where “clean eating” actually means something.

Where Ayurveda meets modern appetite

When the country lights up with diyas, Ahmedabad’s kitchens light up with oil. But Agravatam Modern Ayurvedic Kitchen, led by Dr. Harsha Agravat, is flipping that script — one sattvic plate at a time. This isn’t your grandma’s khichdi shop. It’s India’s first Modern Ayurvedic cloud kitchen, serving everything from golden lattes to zero-maida avocado toast, delivered hot and toxin-free.

The idea is simple: festive food doesn’t need to leave you bloated, tired, or guilt-ridden. Agravatam’s chefs cook with Ayurvedic precision — balancing doshas, digestion, and delight in every bite.

The Diwali wellness menu — ancient wisdom, modern twist

Agravatam’s Diwali spread reads like a wellness manifesto disguised as a feast.

• Ayurvedic Khichdi, Biryani & Diet Chilla: light, sattvic, rich in essential nutrients.

• Avocado Toast on Rogi Loaf: no maida, no nonsense — just wholesome flavor with Ayurvedic spice blends.

• Golden Turmeric Ashwagandha Latte & Energy Burst Herbal Drink: the upgrade your coffee break didn’t know it needed.

• Keto & Diabetic-Friendly Moong Dal Halwa: guilt-free, sugar-free, joy-full.

• Cheesy Pasta Pizza Sticks: a nod to indulgence — with Ayurvedic restraint.

• Ayurvedic Detox Smoothies & Herbal Tonics: think of it as a reset button after your Diwali binge.

Each recipe is crafted by Dr. Harsha Agravat, a Panchakarma specialist with 30+ years of experience in Ayurveda. His goal? Transform how India eats — one sattvic delivery at a time.

“Every meal should heal, not harm,” says Dr. Agravat. “We’ve just modernized that idea for a world that lives on delivery apps.”

Discounts for the health-conscious

Because good karma deserves good offers, Agravatam is rolling out up to 25% OFF on Ayurvedic and sattvic combos this Diwali week. Whether you’re ordering a festive thali or a detox smoothie, the idea is to make clean food accessible — not elite.

You can order via Zomato, Swiggy, or directly at agravatam.com/shop.

Ayurveda goes digital — and local

Agravatam isn’t just feeding customers; it’s building a movement.
Under the campaign “Har Ghar Ayurvedic Kitchen,” Dr. Agravat invites homemakers and women entrepreneurs to bring Ayurveda home — literally. The initiative aims to empower women with both wellness knowledge and business opportunity.

Ayurveda isn’t locked in dusty textbooks anymore — it’s now steaming on your Swiggy cart.

Why this matters — the India connection

India’s wellness market isn’t a niche anymore. With rising awareness about clean eating and functional foods, Ayurvedic nutrition is booming — expected to cross ₹1,000 crore in the next few years. Agravatam’s model combines traditional nutrition, modern logistics, and a health-first mindset, perfectly aligned with India’s new obsession: balance.

It’s also a reminder that Ayurvedic eating isn’t restrictive — it’s intelligent. Think of it as Elon Musk’s engineering mindset meets your dadi’s kitchen — optimized for performance, not just pleasure.

What makes Agravatam different

Unlike generic “healthy meal” kitchens that slap quinoa on everything and call it wellness, Agravatam sticks to Ayurvedic science. Every dish follows three uncompromising principles:

1. Sattvic ingredients only — refined flour, or artificial flavors.

2. Dosha balancing — every recipe supports natural body rhythms.

3. Zero processed toxins — only clean, plant-based, locally sourced food.

It’s not just food; it’s a reset button disguised as breakfast.

The doctor behind the kitchen

The brains behind the bowls, Dr. Harsha Agravat, comes from a lineage of healers under the Dr. Agravat Group of Services (est. 1950). Her work spans Ayurveda, Panchakarma, and preventive health — now reimagined through food delivery. Agravatam’s parent wellness platform, Dr. Agravat Wellness, merges medical insight with modern lifestyle demands.

So when you order that Golden Turmeric Latte, you’re not just sipping a fad — you’re tapping into half a century of health science.

The takeaway — literally

Agravatam is not chasing trends; it’s creating them. In a world where “healthy” often tastes like cardboard, this Ahmedabad startup proves that wellness can be delicious — and that Ayurveda can be as relevant in 2025 as it was 5,000 years ago.

So go ahead, light those diyas, but maybe skip the oily laddoos this year. Order smart. Eat sattvic. Glow inside out.

London (United Kingdom) [England], October 14: A radiant evening of inspiration, celebration, and unity unfolded in London, United Kingdom as Professor Dr. Parin Somani was honoured with the “Women of Influence and Empowerment Award 2025” during the Global Africa Awards. The distinguished award was graciously presented by His Highness King Papa Paul Jones Eganda and Her Highness Queen Grace Eganda, recognizing Dr. Somani’s outstanding humanitarian achievements and her global leadership in women’s empowerment and education.

This prestigious accolade stands as a tribute to Professor Dr. Somani’s unwavering dedication to uplifting women and transforming lives across the world. Her journey is one of courage, compassion, and conviction — a journey that has inspired generations to rise above limitations and believe in the power of purpose.

A Journey of Empowerment and Hope

Professor Dr. Parin Somani’s life story is a remarkable testament to the strength of the human spirit. Over the years, she has become a guiding light for countless women — encouraging them to embrace education, leadership, and self-belief as the keys to transformation. Her tireless humanitarian work has reached communities across Africa, Asia, Europe, and beyond, where she has championed equality, access to education, and empowerment for underprivileged women and children in underprivileged communities.

Dr. Somani’s mission has always been clear: to create a world where women are not just seen but heard, not just inspired but empowered. Her advocacy for education as a tool of liberation continues to open doors for women who once believed opportunity was beyond their reach.

Her philosophy is simple yet powerful: when we educate a woman, we empower a generation. Guided by this belief, she has developed global initiatives, academic programs, and outreach projects that provide access to education, skills, and confidence for those who need it most.

A Modern Symbol of Compassion — The New Era of Mother Teresa

Professor Dr. Parin Somani’s humanitarian legacy resonates deeply with the selfless spirit of Mother Teresa. Her work — rooted in compassion, love, and service — has brought hope to those facing adversity, much like Mother Teresa did for millions.

Through her tireless efforts to uplift humanity, she has become affectionately regarded as “The New Era of Mother Teresa.” Her actions embody the same values of empathy, humility, and dedication to the welfare of others. Whether she is mentoring women leaders, supporting educational reform, or helping communities rebuild after hardship, Dr. Somani’s compassion knows no boundaries.

Like Mother Teresa, she believes that small acts of kindness can create monumental change — and her life’s mission continues to inspire others to give selflessly and serve humanity with love.

Leading with Compassion and Vision

What sets Professor Dr. Parin Somani apart is her boundless compassion and visionary leadership. Whether speaking at global conferences, collaborating with universities, or leading humanitarian initiatives, her voice echoes with empathy and purpose. She has dedicated her life to helping women realise their potential, nurturing confidence, and encouraging them to lead with integrity and heart.

Her leadership philosophy is rooted in service. To Dr. Somani, true empowerment begins with giving — giving time, giving knowledge, and giving hope. She believes that when a woman is educated, a family thrives; when a woman is empowered, a nation prospers. This belief continues to guide every step of her remarkable journey.

A Moment of Global Recognition

Receiving the Women of Influence and Empowerment Award 2025 from King Papa Paul Jones Eganda and Queen Grace Eganda marks yet another milestone in Professor Dr. Somani’s lifelong dedication to humanity. The royal acknowledgment underscored her contribution not just as an educator, but as a changemaker whose work transcends borders and cultures.

In her acceptance message, Dr. Somani expressed heartfelt gratitude and shared that this award is “dedicated to all the women around the world who continue to rise with courage, compassion, and resilience — proving that one woman’s light can illuminate the world.” Her words moved the audience and reflected her enduring commitment to fostering peace, equality, and collective progress.

Inspiring Generations of Women Worldwide

Professor Dr. Parin Somani’s work reminds us that empowerment is not a destination, but a continuous journey of growth, faith, and giving back. She has created a ripple effect — inspiring women to pursue education, achieve leadership roles, and give back to their communities with kindness and purpose.

Her influence is deeply felt in Africa, where she has partnered with educational and social institutions to create pathways for women’s development. Her humanitarian projects have offered hope and tangible change to those most in need, reflecting her lifelong mission to “educate, empower, and elevate humanity.”

A Legacy of Light and Leadership

Beyond the awards and accolades, what defines Professor Dr. Parin Somani is her heart — a heart that beats for humanity. Her journey continues to remind the world that leadership is not about power or prestige, but about the lives we touch and the legacies we leave behind. Her life reminds us that true greatness lies in service, and that one person’s compassion can transform countless lives.

Like Mother Teresa, she embodies selfless love, and like a modern visionary, she uses education as her tool for global change. She is, indeed, the New Era of Mother Teresa — inspiring the world with her faith, courage, and unwavering commitment to make humanity her life’s mission.

As she stood on the global stage, receiving her well-deserved recognition amidst applause and admiration, one truth became evident: Professor Dr. Parin Somani is not only a woman of influence — she is a woman of purpose, love, and light.

Her story continues to inspire countless women across the globe to rise above fear, embrace education, and lead with grace. She embodies the message that when women empower one another, humanity thrives.

The Global Africa Awards 2025 will forever be remembered as a night that honoured a visionary whose life’s work continues to empower generations — reminding the world that the power to change lives begins with compassion and an unshakeable belief in the human spirit.

From ROOTS 2025 to ROOTS 2026 — a continuum of ideas, empathy, and collective learning for Humanity-Centred education in India.

Nagapattinam (Tamil Nadu) [India], October 10: The Vidhya Vidhai Foundation hosted ROOTS – The Education Mile, a three-day design conclave on education, from October 9 to 11, 2025, at the Tamil Nadu Dr J.Jayalalithaa Fisheries University (TNJFU) along the coast of Nagapattinam. The event brought together over 100 educators, school leaders, NGO representatives, corporate professionals, and policymakers from more than 20 Indian states and overseas to explore how education can be designed from the ground up – through community engagement, lived experience, and contextual learning.

Learning by Living: Grounded Design in Action

Over three immersive days, participants explored how education, livelihoods, and policy intersect, not through lectures, but through lived experience.

On Day 1, the conclave opened with interactive sessions on Design Thinking and Principles of Design, followed by field visits to local artisans’ workshops where participants tried their hands at pottery, learning how traditional crafts reflect creativity, patience, and collaboration. The day closed with reflection circles, allowing educators to connect lessons from the field to educational realities.

Day 2 deepened this engagement. From conversations on interconnectedness and community resilience to hands-on learning in fishnet weaving, participants examined how problem-solving and sustainability emerge naturally in rural livelihoods. Lessons learnt from the field immersions and hands-on experiences deepened the understanding and practice of humanity-centred design thinking. All participants weaved them into their solution for presentation at the finale.

Shiksha Samvaad: A Collective Voice for Educational Change

The final day marked the Shiksha Samvaad, a central dialogue under the Shikshagraha movement—a people-powered initiative committed to improving all 1 million public schools in India by 2030.

The event brought together voices from passionate educationists, aspiring design thinkers, philanthropists, social entrepreneurs and corporate professionals, reinforcing a collective commitment to transforming India’s education system.

The day featured EdTalks, storytelling circles, student performances, and collaborative group presentations, where participants shared solutions to real educational challenges such as student motivation, accessibility, parent engagement, and school-community relationships.

Each idea was shaped through humanity-centred design, emphasising the need to design with communities, not for them.

Shikshagraha’s vision – improve all public schools in India for every child to experience enriching learning and be ready for the future – took centre stage at the conclave. As part of this growing movement, Shiksha Samvaad became a moment of convergence, connecting ground-up experiences to system-level aspirations.

“Dialogues and convenings like ROOTS and Shiksha Samvaad are vital because they bring together diverse voices. Change in education cannot happen in isolation; it requires shared understanding, collaboration, and a commitment to every child’s potential. We need to co-create solutions and trust those closest to children – communities, parents, teachers and school leaders to lead the improvements,” said Neeraj Doddamane, Weaver – Shikshagraha.

Voices and Partners Behind the Movement

The conclave saw participation from notable voices such as P. Akash, IAS (District Collector, Nagapattinam), Srini Srinivasan (Don Norman Design Award), Khushboo Awasthi (ShikshaLokam), Vatsal Agrawal (The Design Village), Aastha Parilh (The Happy Factory), Prateek Sinha (Centre for Exponential Change (C4EC)), Shandar Junaid (Affordance Design), and Revathi (Vanavil Trust), among others.

Their conversations highlighted how ideas emerging from the field can inform policy and systemic reform, underscoring the importance of contextual, community-driven design in reimagining education for the future.

ROOTS was made possible through the support of the District Collectorate of Nagapattinam, the Don Norman Design Award, Arifa Institute of Technology, DEEP Nagapattinam, and ONGC – partners who share a vision of locally rooted, equitable education systems.

“A small conversation planted the seed for what we now call ROOTS. It was a hope, and like every meaningful idea, it needed the right soil. No other place would be perfect as the resilient town of Nagapattinam, where the District Collector opened doors and co-hosted the conclave with us. We hope that it becomes a space to co-learn, ideate and prototype humanity-centred solutions, building on the participants’ energy, curiosity and contribution – towards building a stronger education ecosystem in the country”, said Regila Marinus, Co-founder and CEO of Vidhya Vidhai Foundation.
