MATEXIL – The Manmade and Technical Textiles Export Promotion Council (erstwhile SRTEPC) has successfully hosted its Annual Export Award Function on 30^th March 2025 in Mumbai to recognize and felicitate member companies for their outstanding export performance in FY 2023-24. The Event celebrated excellence in Export, with approximately 50 awards presented across various categories of the Manmade Fibre Textiles.

Shri Giriraj Singh, Hon’ble Union Minister of Textiles, graced the occasion as the Chief Guest and conferred the awards upon the distinguished winners. The Event witnessed the presence of senior Government officials along with industry leaders from the Textiles industry.

Speaking at the Function the Minister said, “We should focus on R&D and Innovation to promote use of Green Manufacturing Processes for MMF Textiles. We need to adopt Sustainable Manufacturing Practices to become global leaders in MMF and Technical Textiles and create a business-friendly environment for MMF and Technical Textiles.”

A key highlight of the evening was the unveiling of MATEXIL’s newly developed Website and Trade Dashboard of the Council, designed to provide comprehensive trade insights on Manmade Fibre and Technical Textiles. Speaking at the event, Shri Giriraj Singh commended MATEXIL and its Chairman, Shri Bhadresh Dodhia, for this pioneering initiative.

In his address, Shri Bhadresh Dodhia, Chairman of MATEXIL, said “ In the evolving landscape of MMF Textiles, a significant trend is the growing demand for sustainability and circularity. Global brands and retailers are increasingly seeking sustainable and recyclable textiles to capture consumer attention. This shift has prompted the industry to focus on developing environmentally friendly and recyclable MMF textiles.” Shri Dodhia mentioned.

During his address Shri Bhadresh Dodhia, Chairman of MATEXIL also informed about the challenges faced by the Indian MMF Textiles industry due to the lack of technical expertise in processing and finishing. “This gap can be bridged through strategic tie-ups with leading international players in the MMF sector. It is imperative to upgrade and automate technology in MMF Textiles production to align with international standards.” He mentioned.

Shri Shaleen Toshniwal, Vice-Chairman of MATEXIL, in his closing remarks, reiterated the importance of the Export Awards in motivating industry players. He noted that this tradition of recognizing excellence has encouraged new exporters to strive for greater achievements in the global market.

New Delhi [India], April 3: Palak Shah, Founder of Exhale Label, has been honored with the prestigious ET Now Business Conclave Award for establishing as an emerging fashion brand, a testament to this philosophy. The award, presented by Union Minister Jitendra Singh along with Rohit Chadda, COO & President – Times Network, marks a milestone in Shah’s journey from a visionary entrepreneur to a trailblazer in the field.

What started as a dream of becoming a clinical psychologist evolved into a pursuit of self-expression and authenticity through design. Palak Shah, founder of Exhale Label’s journey is one marked by unexpected twists, self-realization, and a commitment to empowering others through design.

An Apparel & Manufacture graduate from SNDT Women’s University in Mumbai and an Associate’s degree holder in Fashion Design from Parsons School of Design in New York, Palak has spent a decade crafting a remarkable career in the fashion industry. Her journey is defined by a strong commitment to mental health advocacy, empowerment through design, and fostering community connections.

Exhale Label is not just a fashion brand; it is a movement built on mental health awareness, self-expression, and inclusivity. The label transcends clothing—each piece is a statement, a celebration of individuality, and a reminder that everyone has a story worth telling. Inspired by her own struggles with insecurities, particularly surrounding her skin color, Palak created a brand that fosters empowerment and positivity, paving the way for a more inclusive future. What makes Exhale Label even more remarkable is its growing celebrity following. Icons like Kareena Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Sonakshi Sinha have not only embraced the brand but have also purchased pieces like the “Fragile” design, proudly sharing them on social media. This celebrity endorsement highlights the brand’s cultural relevance and its ability to resonate with those who value authenticity and self-expression.

Exhale Label aims to unite individuals who have faced body shaming, mental health challenges, and the weight of insecurities. The brand’s message is clear: “Everyone has a story.”, and fashion is the medium to express it.

The brand stands for authenticity, quality, and kindness, rooted in the belief that fashion can be a powerful vehicle for connection and conversation. Exhale Label is more than just a brand—it’s a community where people from all walks of life come together and feel valued. Every day, when we choose an outfit, we are making a choice that reflects our emotions, often deeper than we realize. With every piece, Palak aims to create a space where individuals can express their true selves, free from the constraints of societal expectations, and wear their emotions with pride.

Having won two awards for Best Menswear and Best Collection at SNDT’s prestigious fashion show, Chrysalis, it was a defining moment in her life, one that validated her instinct to pursue design, and it marked the beginning of her journey in the fashion industry.

Palak’s journey began as an intern at one of India’s most iconic fashion brands, House of Masaba, where her talent quickly propelled her to the role of Head of Design. This experience laid the foundation for her seamless transition into the international fashion scene, where she honed her craft alongside renowned names like Jay Godfrey and the prestigious luxury house, Vera Wang. Through these collaborations, she gained invaluable exposure to global markets, mastering the art of high-pressure, fast-paced environments while refining her expertise in advanced fashion techniques.

What sets Palak apart in India’s fashion landscape is her visionary approach to fashion as a platform for empowerment and personal storytelling. Through ‘Exhale Warriors’, Palak created a space for individuals to share their journeys related to mental health, self-discovery, and overcoming challenges. In a country where mental health has long been taboo, Exhale Label had the first-mover advantage, starting the conversation as early as 2018—before 2020 helped normalize it. The initiative fosters a supportive community and promotes the message that “It’s okay not to be okay.” Each piece from Exhale Label embodies an ‘Exhale Warrior’s’ story, symbolizing the brand’s commitment to weaving design with personal narratives. It brings together those who have faced insecurities, body shaming, and mental health struggles, offering them a place of understanding and celebration.

As Exhale Label evolves, Palak remains focused on creating clothing that not only makes people look good but also feel good. The brand’s bold designs reflect its dedication to inclusivity, while its commitment to fair trade and ethical practices establishes it as a beacon for responsible fashion. Exhale Label is more than a brand—it’s a celebration of stories, struggles, and triumphs, a platform for individuals to embrace who they are and wear their identity with pride. In Palak Shah’s words, “Our mission is to create pieces that make you feel seen, heard, and valued.” Exhale Label invites everyone to join in, wear their story, and exhale with confidence.

New Delhi [India], April 3: If you are planning to start an NGO in India, the biggest doubt would be whether you should choose a Trust, Society or Section 8 company? The answer is very simple. If you are thinking long-term and want donor trust, smooth compliance and better chances of CSR funding, then Section 8 Company is the best option for you.

Let us explain in simple language why the Section 8 company option is better. Actually, Section 8 company registration is the best structure for your NGO, and it proves to be extremely convenient in getting CSR funding, ensuring NGO transparency and managing NGO compliance in India.

Of course, it is easy to register a trust and society, but there are some important things that NGO operators are not told about. For example, if you need to change the address of your NGO in the future, then you have to be ready for manual paperwork, visits to the local registrar and long waiting period.

And if you ever want to update the objectives of your NGO and it is a trust, you may need court approval. Societies are a slightly better option, but still it is difficult to avoid physical paperwork and red tape.

If you want to have financial transparency to show to a donor or company, it can also be difficult, as most trusts and societies do not have online records. Everything is offline and scattered.

Vipul Sharma,co-founder of NGOExperts, says, “In today’s time, when everything is digital, these manual processes make trusts and societies slow, outdated and less credible in the eyes of funders. So, if you are looking for easy NGO registration, flexible operations and national-level recognition, trusts and societies can limit your growth. In such a case, the smart, digital and transparent option of a Section 8 company is the best choice. A Section 8 company is registered under the Companies Act just like a normal company. But it runs only for charitable or non-profit purposes.”

Vipul Sharma says that Section 8 companies are the future for NGO operations in India. It has many benefits, like all the records being online on the MCA (Ministry of Corporate Affairs) website. You can change addresses, directors or objectives online with proper documents and board resolutions. You have to file audited accounts and annual reports, which increases public confidence. It is legally recognised all over India – it is not limited to any district or state. Most importantly, donors and CSR companies prefer it because of its transparent structure.

This is why most people are looking for online Section 8 company registration instead of traditional NGO structures. Corporates prefer Section 8 for CSR funding. Suppose you are applying for CSR funds from a big company. The first thing they check is whether your NGO has a clear legal registration. Are audited reports filed? Are its directors, objectives and compliance history publicly available? Section 8 companies meet all these aspects. But trusts and societies don’t do that. That’s why most companies ask NGOs to register as Section 8 or collaborate with one. This makes their due diligence easier.

This structure is highly suitable for companies and donors looking for transparent NGO operations and a legal NGO structure. Because you don’t have to chase files or wait for state-level authorities. You can run your NGO like a professional organisation. You can add co-founders as directors and make smart decisions with legal backing. Investors, corporates and even international funders rely more on Section 8.

Many people get scared hearing the “Companies Act” or “ROC filing”, says Vipul Sharma. This is where NGOExperts come into play, helping you choose the right name and structure. Drafting your MOA (objective) and AOA (rules). Apply for your Section 8 licence. Register the company online and later assist you in filing 12A/80G and CSR-1.

Trusts and societies have served India for decades, no doubt about that. But with the changing times, it is important to adapt to technology along with service, so if you are looking for affordable NGO registration services or someone who can help you from start to finish, the professionals at NGOExperts are at your service.

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], March 31: Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV), observed annually on March 31, is a global movement recognizing the resilience, achievements, and contributions of the transgender community. It is a powerful reminder of the urgent need for equality, safety, and inclusion for trans individuals worldwide. TDOV serves as both a celebration and a call to action. This year, Pune witnessed an inspiring TDOV celebration, spearheaded by the Mist LGBTQ Foundation in collaboration with Panaaaa, TATVA Lab, and SAATHII.

A Vibrant Celebration in Pune Amidst these global challenges, the TDOV event in Pune stood as a beacon of hope. Activists, allies, and trans individuals came together for a day of powerful discussions, healthcare initiatives, and community bonding. Hosted at Stories Café in Lohegaon, the event featured welcome remarks, keynote speeches by trans leaders such as Aakruti Patel, Manasvi Goilkar, Aishwarya Pandav, Teju Punekar, and Mahendra Punekar, and interactive sessions designed to amplify trans voices.

Healthcare and Community Support Initiatives One of the event’s key highlights was a free health check-up camp that included general body check-ups and HIV testing for 50 trans individuals, both trans men and trans women. This initiative was crucial in bridging healthcare disparities and ensuring preventive care. Additionally, attendees received gift and ration kits, made possible through generous donations and sponsors such as Greenbiz Agro Industries, which donated 100 juice packets. Varsha Rajkhowa – Miss Scuba International 2016 and Founder Oceanic Divas and Steaffy Shaji Managing Director Oceanic Divas along with team members, and many other donors who gave ration kits.

Stories Café reinforced the spirit of inclusivity by hosting a heartwarming community lunch, fostering essential conversations, and strengthening connections among attendees. This celebration was not just about visibility—it was about creating real, lasting impact through healthcare, support, and advocacy.

Voices of Change: A Demand for Justice and Equality Shyam Konnur, Founder & CEO of Mist LGBTQ Foundation, emphasized the need for systemic change. “The global queer movement was ignited by the courage of trans people, yet even today, they are denied dignity, rights, and safety. From violence to exclusion, society continues to fail them. In India, we must do better. We must recognize, respect, and uplift trans lives—not just in words, but in law, policy, and everyday action.”

Sriram Sridhar, Director of Mist LGBTQ Foundation, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the organization’s commitment to equity and healthcare access. “Visibility is not just about being present; it’s about demanding a future where trans people are never left behind. That’s why we’ve provided free health insurance policies, bridging critical gaps in healthcare for trans individuals.”

Breaking Stereotypes and Challenging Misconceptions Nikki, a cook at Stories Café, emphasized the role of TDOV in challenging misconceptions about the transgender community. “People still have many stereotypes and misconceptions about the trans community. Events like TDOV are necessary to break such misconceptions.”

Meanwhile, Tejas Kshatriya, Health Coordinator at Mist LGBTQ Foundation, reinforced the need for accessible healthcare, stating, “Initiatives like free health camps are crucial for preventing many deadly diseases like HIV and for spreading awareness about them.”

The Road Ahead: Policy Changes and Community Support Mist LGBTQ Foundation continues its mission to uplift the trans community at a time when funding for LGBTQ+ initiatives is being slashed globally. With USAID funds and DEI projects being halted, grassroots efforts like TDOV become even more crucial in ensuring trans individuals receive the support they deserve.

The TDOV celebration in Pune exemplifies how community-driven efforts can foster inclusivity, health equity, and meaningful change. However, true progress requires sustained commitment from policymakers, corporations, and society at large. We must push for legislative reforms, workplace inclusivity, and social acceptance to ensure trans rights are upheld globally.

Conclusion: Beyond Visibility, Towards a Future of Equality Transgender Day of Visibility is more than just an observance—it is a battle cry for justice. While celebrating the achievements of trans individuals, we must also acknowledge the systemic challenges they face and work toward a future of true equality.

By amplifying trans voices, supporting inclusive initiatives, and advocating for policy reforms, we can ensure that visibility translates into lasting change. This TDOV, let’s go beyond recognition—let’s commit to building a society where trans individuals are not just seen but fully embraced, empowered, and protected under the law. The fight for trans rights is far from over, but together, we can shape a world where everyone, regardless of gender identity, has the right to live with dignity, respect, and equal opportunities.
