From Batamaloo to the Podium: The Icestock Journey of Faheem Masood Shah
There are athletes who chase medals, and there are athletes who build a movement. In Jammu & Kashmir, Faheem Masood Shah has quietly become both.
Faheem's latest outing came at the Himadari Ice Rink in Dehradun, an international-standard facility that hosted a national IcestockSport tournament featuring squads from Karnataka, Maharashtra, Chandigarh, Gujarat, Goa, Uttarakhand, Delhi and other states. Leading Jammu & Kashmir as captain, Faheem returned home with two gold medals, two silver medals and a bronze — a result that surprised no one who has followed his decade-long career on the ice.
Born in 1992 in Batamaloo, Srinagar, Faheem's introduction to competitive sport had nothing to do with ice. Football, cricket, rugby and athletics filled his childhood, sharpening the reflexes and competitive instinct that would later define his icestock game. It was during a snow rugby event in Gulmarg in 2014 that he first picked up an icestock — handed to him, almost by chance, by Manfred Schafer, then head of the International Federation of IcestockSport. His first throw hit the target. He has barely stopped since.
What followed was over a decade of steady, often unglamorous graft: training on poorly maintained ice, competing with borrowed gear, and traveling to international meets on shoestring budgets, all in a country where winter sports infrastructure remains thin, and in a region where it is thinner still.
The results, however, tell their own story. Faheem has represented India in more than 200 international matches and picked up medals across three continents. A career highlight came at the 2025 World Icestock Championship in Kapfenberg & Stanz, Austria, where he helped India to a team bronze medal and a fourth-place finish in Team Long Distance, lifting India to a Top-7 world ranking in the Team Game category — one of the strongest results posted by an Indian side at that level.
Away from the rink, Faheem has built an equally serious second career. He holds a degree in Computer Engineering and a master's degree in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, has worked as a programmer and certified UX designer, and is an independent researcher with contributions to published research. Few of his rivals on the ice, in India or abroad, carry a resume quite like it.
Yet those who know him say it is his work off the rink that matters most to him. Through the Vaadi E Kashmir Foundation, Faheem is involved in youth development, digital literacy and community sports programmes across the Valley, and is a familiar sight coaching children on makeshift rinks after his own competitions wrap up. Kids in Gulmarg and Srinagar follow his results closely; for many, he has become proof that a path exists — even from a region with little winter sports tradition and even less support.
"We're not that far behind," Faheem has said of India's standing in the sport. "We just need people to believe in us."
With the Dehradun tournament now added to an already long list of national titles, Faheem's ambitions have not slowed. The European Championships are next on his calendar, with Olympic qualification the ultimate target — a goal he has framed not as a personal milestone, but as a message to "every kid who thinks they can't make it because they're from Kashmir."

Studying Abroad Sounds Exciting. But Where Should You Actually Go?


There is a particular kind of excitement that happens when a student says:“I want to study abroad.”
Suddenly, the family WhatsApp group is full of university rankings, YouTube campus tours, tuition fees and somebody's friend's cousin who apparently knows everything about studying in Europe.
Then comes the slightly less exciting question:
“Okay. Where exactly?”
With thousands of universities, courses and destinations to choose from, finding the right university can quickly become overwhelming.
And the biggest university name isn't necessarily the best answer.
Start With the Student, Not the University
A good university on paper can still be the wrong choice for a particular student.
The course may not fit their career goals. The cost may not work for the family. The country may offer an exciting opportunity but an environment the student isn't prepared for.
That is why university admissions should begin with a few more important questions:
Is the student eligible? What do they want to study? Can they afford it? Are they ready to live independently? And what kind of environment will help them thrive?
AdmissionsNest begins with understanding the student before moving into university shortlisting.
Through eligibility and readiness assessments and personalised admissions counselling, students can explore courses and universities based on their academic profile, goals, circumstances and aspirations.
Because Studying Abroad Is More Than Getting on a Plane
Getting admission to a university in Europe is an achievement.
But then comes the part nobody puts on the university brochure.
The weather may be completely different. Classroom expectations may change. Food, communication styles and social norms may be unfamiliar. Students may suddenly be managing their own money, accommodation, travel and daily life.
And then there is culture.
Europe offers an enormous variety of languages, traditions, communities and ways of life. For a student coming from India, that can be an incredible opportunity to discover new perspectives and people.
It can also take some getting used to.
AdmissionsNest therefore looks beyond academic eligibility to student readiness, helping students think about whether they are prepared for the independence, cultural adjustment and new environment that come with studying abroad.
Because getting there is one thing.
Being comfortable enough to thrive there is another.
Finding the Right Option Without Getting Lost in the Options
Students don't always need the same pathway.
For one, the right choice might be a university in the UK or elsewhere in Europe.
For another, it could be one of India's leading institutions.
For a working professional looking to change careers, upskill or pursue a promotion, an online degree may be the smarter option, allowing education to fit around an existing career.
AdmissionsNest helps students explore these different pathways through its university and course options, filtering possibilities based on relevant factors and providing one-to-one admissions counselling to help narrow the field.
And because higher education is a significant financial commitment, the conversation also needs to include scholarships, education loans, living costs and available work-and-study opportunities, where applicable.
From Shortlisting to the Admission Letter
Once a student has identified suitable options, AdmissionsNest can support the next steps, including applications, documentation, scholarship guidance, education-loan assistance and visa support.
The goal isn't to send every student abroad.
It is to help each student find a pathway that makes sense for their education, career goals, finances and readiness.
And the support doesn't necessarily stop when the admission letter arrives.
Through the wider Crescet ecosystem and its connection with TutorsNest, students can continue accessing academic guidance and support after they begin their studies.
Because admission is not the finish line.
It's the starting point.
So, Where Should You Go?
Maybe the answer is a university in Europe.
Maybe it's a leading institution in India.
Maybe it's an online degree that lets a working professional build a new career without putting their current one on hold.
The point is that there isn't one “best” university for everyone.
There is a best-fit pathway for each student.
AdmissionsNest is designed to help students and families find it through eligibility assessment, readiness assessment, admissions counselling, university shortlisting and support from application to beyond admission.
Because the question isn't simply:
“Where can I get admitted?”
It's:
“Where can I learn, adapt, grow and build the future I'm actually aiming for?”
That's where the right university search begins.

Anagen Grow Brings Colloidal Particle Suspension Technology to Everyday Hair Care
Caredura Products' new serum is built to get past the surface of the scalp, not just sit on top of it.
Most hair serums make the same promise: apply, wait, hope. What separates one from another is rarely the ingredient list on the label; it's whether the formula actually gets where it needs to go. That is the problem Caredura Products has set out to solve with the launch of Anagen Grow, a hair growth serum built around colloidal particle suspension technology, designed for rapid absorption into the scalp rather than surface-level conditioning.
A delivery problem, not just a formula problem
Hair fall is rarely caused by a single factor. Stress, pollution, chemical treatments, heat styling, poor nutrition and a dry, undernourished scalp can all combine to push hair out of its active growth phase, known as the anagen phase, and into shedding earlier than it should. Most treatments target this from the outside, sitting on the hair shaft or the scalp surface. Anagen Grow takes a different route.
Its colloidal particle suspension technology is engineered to break active ingredients down into finer particles that can move past the surface layer and reach the scalp more efficiently. The result is a deep-acting enriched formula that doesn't just coat hair but works at the level where hair growth actually begins, the follicle.
What the serum is designed to do
Anagen Grow's benefits are built around five outcomes: promoting hair growth, minimizing hair loss induced by DHT (dihydrotestosterone, the hormone widely linked to hair thinning and hair fall), protecting hair from ongoing damage, stimulating activation and elongation at the hair root, and nourishing and moisturizing both scalp and hair shaft.
Central to this is the serum's effect on the hair growth cycle itself. Hair moves through distinct phases, and the anagen phase, when hair is actively growing, determines how long and how strong each strand can become. Formulated with select herbal extracts including Amla (Phyllanthus emblica), curry leaves (Murraya koenigii), henna (Lawsonia alba), indigo (Indigofera tinctoria), false daisy (Eclipta prostrata) and hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) in an aqua base, Anagen Grow is formulated for EGCG-like activity, an antioxidant compound associated with reduced alpha-reductase activity, the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into DHT. By working on this pathway, the serum is positioned to address hair fall closer to its hormonal root cause, rather than only its visible symptoms.
There's a cosmetic layer to the formula as well. Anagen Grow carries a rich, natural colour that lends hair a lustrous shine and light conditioning with regular use, making it a serum that works toward long-term scalp health while also improving how hair looks and feels day to day. 
A herbal approach with a scientific backbone
"Hair loss isn't just a cosmetic issue," said S.J. Harishraj, in comments shared by Caredura Products. "It can affect confidence, choice of style and everyday mood. The right care routine can make a visible difference." That framing runs through Anagen Grow's positioning, not as a quick fix, but as a serum meant to be worked into a regular routine, applied consistently to the scalp and through the length of the hair.
The company recommends applying the serum regularly, spreading it evenly from root to tip, or as directed by a physician, positioning it for sustained use rather than occasional treatment.
Where to find it
Anagen Grow is available now through Caredura Products' own retail platforms. Caredura Products brings scientifically proven and clinically effective skin and hair care to customers' doorsteps, with www.caredurastore.in serving customers within India, and www.caredurastore.com handling shipping for customers outside the country.
For a category crowded with serums promising similar results, Anagen Grow's pitch is less about a new ingredient and more about a new mechanism, reaching the scalp faster, and staying there long enough to make a difference. Whether that translates into visibly stronger, thicker hair will, as with any hair care product, come down to consistent use over time. But for a market that has seen relatively little innovation in how these formulas are actually delivered, colloidal particle suspension technology gives Caredura Products a distinct story to tell.

EzeeHoney Taps India's Growing On-the-Go Wellness Trend with Convenient Premium Honey Solutions
The trend of healthy lifestyles among consumers and the time constraints has led to an increasing need for convenient, healthful and clean labeled products. In response to this change, EzeeHoney has created a new convenient and portable way to enjoy one of nature's oldest superfoods by introducing its high quality single serve honey twigs with purity, portability and convenience.
Today's consumers are looking for foods that seamlessly fit into their daily routines without compromising on quality or nutrition. From commuting to work, travelling, working out, or working in the office, they want products that are convenient to take, sanitary, and ready to eat. EzeeHoney meets this growing demand by revolutionising the traditional honey jar into a convenient and mess free single serve portion, which can be consumed anywhere, anytime.
EzeeHoney's individually sealed honey twigs are a convenient solution for the busy, modern lifestyle and unlike traditional honey packaging, they do not require spoons or special storage. The portion controlled format allows you to reduce the risk of sticky messes, product wastage and a guarantee of freshness with each portion. Consumers can just pop open a twig and eat the pure honey or pour a bit into their tea, coffee or smoothies, or add the honey to their breakfast bowls, yogurt, cereals or all their regular dishes.
The company's spokesperson said that the idea behind EzeeHoney was to make natural honey easily available and convenient for the people of today. Our honey twigs offer high quality and unbeatable convenience, while retaining the natural goodness of the honey.
The brand caters to the consumers who are looking for authentic taste and innovative wellness products with a well-curated portfolio of products such as Himalayan Multi-Flora Honey, Lemon-Infused Honey, Lychee Blossom Honey, Vanilla-Infused Honey and functional Lakadong Turmeric Honey. Each variety is carefully developed to maintain the natural characteristics of the honey and provide unique taste and functionality.
Consumer trends show that there is an increasing demand for clean-label foods – those that contain easy-to-understand ingredients. The more people get to know about mindful eating, the more we see products that provide natural nutrition in convenient formats become a daily part of people's wellness regimes. With its versatility and natural sweetness, honey is making a comeback in the world of health-conscious consumers seeking alternatives to refined sugar.
EzeeHoney's innovative solution also resonates with the increased demand for packaging where control of servings is important for responsible consumption and to avoid further waste. Its compact design makes it ideal for professionals, students, fitness enthusiasts, travellers and families who want to get good nutrition without sacrificing convenience.
EzeeHoney not only brings a new packaging format, but also a new range of experience to the consumer culture of honey, by making it a practical everyday companion as opposed to an occasional beaker of pantry honey. Incorporating high-quality ingredients, user-friendly functionality, and contemporary amenities, the brand is developing a new category experience in keeping with today's consumers' expectations.
In a country where the wellness lifestyle and functional foods are gaining momentum, EzeeHoney is at the nexus of health, innovation and convenience, making pure honey consumption more convenient for customers than ever before.

EarnPe Crosses 5,000 Publishers and 500 Brand Partnerships as India's Creator Economy Expands Beyond Metro Cities


India's affiliate marketing industry is witnessing a significant shift as creators and digital entrepreneurs from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities increasingly embrace performance marketing as a sustainable source of income. Driven by expanding internet access, affordable smartphones, digital payments, and the rapid growth of regional content, affiliate marketing is becoming an accessible business opportunity for individuals across the country.Reflecting this trend, EarnPe, an Indian affiliate marketing platform, today announced that it has grown its network to more than 5,000 publishers, partnered with over 500 brands, and facilitated more than ₹100 crore in sales through its performance marketing ecosystem since its launch in October 2022.
The milestone highlights the growing adoption of affiliate marketing among creators, influencers, bloggers, shopping communities, and digital publishers who are seeking long-term monetization opportunities beyond traditional advertising and sponsored content.
Founded by Prabhu Marimuthu and Magesh Subramanian, EarnPe was created with a clear objective—to simplify affiliate marketing for Indian publishers while helping brands connect with high-intent consumers through measurable, performance-based campaigns.
"Affiliate marketing in India is no longer limited to large publishers or creators in metropolitan cities," said Prabhu Marimuthu, Co-founder of EarnPe. "Over the last few years, we've seen remarkable growth from creators in smaller cities who are building engaged communities around shopping, technology, finance, education, lifestyle, and local content. Our vision has always been to provide them with the same opportunities that were once available only to established digital publishers."
India's Digital Economy is Creating New Opportunities
India's digital landscape has transformed dramatically over the past decade. Affordable mobile data, increasing smartphone penetration, widespread adoption of UPI-based digital payments, and improved logistics have enabled millions of consumers to participate in online commerce.
Alongside this growth, the creator economy has expanded beyond YouTube and Instagram. Today, creators operate across Telegram channels, WhatsApp communities, blogs, websites, Facebook groups, regional-language platforms, and niche online communities, attracting highly engaged audiences with specialized content.
As audiences become more focused and communities become more trusted, affiliate marketing has emerged as an effective way for creators to monetize recommendations without relying solely on advertisements or one-time brand collaborations.
Unlike conventional digital advertising, affiliate marketing aligns the interests of brands and publishers. Creators earn commissions only when a desired customer action takes place, while brands pay for measurable business outcomes rather than impressions alone.
This performance-based model has contributed to the increasing adoption of affiliate marketing across India's growing digital ecosystem.
Supporting Publishers Beyond Metropolitan India
While India's largest cities played a significant role in the early growth of digital commerce, recent years have seen increasing participation from smaller cities where digital entrepreneurship is gaining momentum.
Recognising this shift, EarnPe has focused on building a platform that lowers the barriers to entry for aspiring affiliate marketers.
The platform enables publishers to discover campaigns, generate affiliate links, monitor campaign performance, and track commissions through a single dashboard. This simplified workflow allows creators to focus on producing quality content while managing their affiliate business efficiently.
Today, EarnPe's publisher network includes shopping influencers, technology reviewers, finance creators, bloggers, deal-sharing communities, coupon websites, YouTube creators, Telegram administrators, WhatsApp community owners, and digital entrepreneurs across hundreds of Indian cities.
According to the company, a growing proportion of new publisher registrations now originate from Tier 2 and Tier 3 locations, reflecting the broader democratization of India's digital economy.
Expanding Partnerships Across Multiple Industries
EarnPe's growth has been supported by an expanding portfolio of brand partnerships spanning several consumer sectors.
The platform currently offers affiliate campaigns across e-commerce, fashion, electronics, beauty and personal care, travel, finance, lifestyle, and other high-growth categories.
Its network includes more than 500 partner brands, including well-known names such as Flipkart, Myntra, and AJIO, providing publishers with a diverse range of campaigns that match the interests of their audiences.
For brands, affiliate marketing offers an opportunity to work with creators whose recommendations often carry greater credibility than traditional digital advertising.
By enabling brands to collaborate with publishers on a performance basis, EarnPe helps improve customer acquisition while maintaining a measurable return on marketing investment.
Helping Creators Build Sustainable Income
For many creators, building an audience is only one part of the journey. Developing sustainable and recurring revenue streams remains an equally important challenge.
Advertising revenue often fluctuates based on platform algorithms, seasonal demand, and advertiser budgets. Brand collaborations may be occasional rather than consistent.
Affiliate marketing provides an additional monetization channel that rewards creators for recommending products and services that align with their audience's interests.
EarnPe enables publishers to access campaigns from multiple brands through a single platform, eliminating the need to manage multiple affiliate accounts independently.
Whether creators publish shopping recommendations, product reviews, educational videos, comparison articles, or lifestyle content, the platform allows them to integrate affiliate marketing naturally into their existing content strategy.
According to the company, this approach helps creators diversify their income while maintaining authenticity and audience trust.
Real Success Stories
The impact of affiliate marketing is becoming increasingly visible within EarnPe's publisher community.
One publisher based in Jaipur built a niche shopping community focused on sharing deals, product recommendations, and online shopping tips. Through consistent audience engagement and strategic campaign selection, the publisher now earns more than ₹50,000 per month in affiliate commissions using the EarnPe platform.
The company says similar stories are emerging from multiple cities across India as creators recognise affiliate marketing as a long-term business model rather than simply an additional source of income.
These examples demonstrate how digital entrepreneurship is expanding beyond metropolitan India, creating opportunities for individuals regardless of geography or professional background.
Technology Designed for Performance Marketing
Behind the platform is a technology infrastructure built to simplify campaign management for publishers while improving transparency for brands.
EarnPe enables publishers to browse available campaigns, generate affiliate tracking links, monitor clicks and conversions, review commission reports, and analyse campaign performance through a unified interface.
For advertisers, the platform provides access to a growing network of performance-driven publishers capable of reaching consumers through trusted content and engaged communities.
The company's continued investment in technology aims to improve campaign discovery, analytics, reporting capabilities, and user experience while supporting future growth across both publisher and advertiser ecosystems.
Looking Ahead
India's creator economy continues to evolve at a rapid pace, and affiliate marketing is expected to play an increasingly important role in helping creators build sustainable businesses.
As consumers rely more heavily on creator recommendations before making purchasing decisions, brands are also placing greater emphasis on performance-based partnerships that deliver measurable outcomes.
EarnPe plans to expand its publisher ecosystem, strengthen brand partnerships, introduce additional automation and analytics capabilities, and continue investing in technologies that simplify affiliate marketing for both creators and advertisers.
The company believes the next phase of growth will be driven not only by increasing internet penetration but also by the growing maturity of India's creator ecosystem, where individuals are building specialised communities with highly engaged audiences.
"Our ambition extends beyond building an affiliate platform," added Marimuthu. "We want to create an ecosystem where creators, publishers and brands grow together through transparency, measurable performance and long-term partnerships. As more people explore digital entrepreneurship, we believe affiliate marketing will become one of the most accessible ways to build sustainable online businesses."

Founded in 2022, EarnPe is an Indian affiliate marketing platform that connects publishers, creators, influencers, bloggers, shopping communities, and digital marketers with leading brands through performance-based marketing campaigns.

प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी आज हरियाणा के जींद रेलवे स्टेशन से इसे हरी झंडी दिखाएंगे। लॉन्च से पहले पीएम मोदी ने सोशल मीडिया पर ट्रेन की अंदर और बाहर की तस्वीरें भी शेयर की हैं। इन तस्वीरों में ट्रेन का ड्राइवर केबिन, यात्रियों के लिए बना कोच और स्टेशन पर खड़ी ट्रेन दिखाई दे रही है। हालांकि, 17 जुलाई को सिर्फ इसका उद्घाटन होगा। नियमित यात्री सेवा कब शुरू होगी, इसकी तारीख अभी घोषित नहीं की गई है।

  

पूरी तरह भारत में ही तैयार ट्रेन
इस ट्रेन से जुड़ी कई सारी खास बातें हैं। सबसे पहले तो इस ट्रेन को पूरी तरह भारत में ही तैयार किया गया है। आम ट्रेनों की तरह इसे डीजल से चलाने की बजाय हाइड्रोजन फ्यूल से चलाया जाएगा। तीसरी खास बात ये है कि ये दुनिया की सबसे लंबी और सबसे ज्यादा कैपेसिटी वाली हाइड्रोजन ट्रेनों में शामिल होगी। इससे प्रदूषण भी कम होगा और क्लीन एनर्जी को देश में बढ़ावा भी मिलेगा।

  

90 किमीटरकी दूरी क़रीब 2 घंटे में होगी तय
यह ट्रेन 1200 किलोवाट क्षमता वाले हाइड्रोजन फ्यूल-सेल प्रोपल्शन सिस्टम से संचालित होगी और इसकी अधिकतम गति 75 किलोमीटर प्रति घंटा होगी। जींद से सोनीपत के बीच एक तरफ की दूरी क़रीब 90 किलोमीटर है, जिसे यह ट्रेन क़रीब 2 घंटे में तय करेगी।

  

इन स्टेशनों पर होगा ठहराव
रेल मंत्रालय की ओर से मिली जानकारी के अनुसार, यह सेवा ट्रेन संख्या 74010 और 74009 के रूप में संचालित होगी। ट्रेन संख्या 74010 सुबह 7:40 बजे जींद से रवाना होगी और 9:40 बजे सोनीपत पहुंचेगी। इसी तरह ट्रेन संख्या 74009 10:40 बजे सोनीपत से रवाना होगी और दोपहर 1:00 बजे जींद पहुंचेगी। हाइड्रोजन फ्यूल ट्रेन जींद सिटी, पांडू पिंडारा, ललित खेड़ा, भांपेगा, ईशापुर खेड़ी, बुटाना, खांडराई, गोहाना, राबड़ा, लाठ, मोहाना और बरवासनी स्टेशनों पर रुकेगी। इस तरह यह ट्रेन दिन में दो फेरे लगाएगी और हर रोज़ कुल क़रीब 356 किलोमीटर की दूरी तय करेगी।

हाइड्रोजन ट्रेन कैसे काम करती है?
सामान्य ट्रेनें कोयले, डीजल या बिजली से चलती हैं। भारतीय रेलवे के अनुसार, हाइड्रोजन ट्रेन में विशेष फ्यूल-सेल तकनीक का इस्तेमाल किया जाता है। इस तकनीक में हाइड्रोजन गैस की मदद से रासायनिक प्रक्रिया के जरिए बिजली उत्पन्न की जाती है, जिससे ट्रेन संचालित होती है। जहां डीजल इंजन काला धुआं छोड़ते हैं, वहीं हाइड्रोजन इंजन से केवल पानी की भाप निकलती है। अन्य पारंपरिक इंजनों की तुलना में हाइड्रोजन इंजन प्रदूषण नहीं फैलाता।

From Batamaloo to the Podium: The Icestock Journey of Faheem Masood Shah
There are athletes who chase medals, and there are athletes who build a movement. In Jammu & Kashmir, Faheem Masood Shah has quietly become both.
Faheem's latest outing came at the Himadari Ice Rink in Dehradun, an international-standard facility that hosted a national IcestockSport tournament featuring squads from Karnataka, Maharashtra, Chandigarh, Gujarat, Goa, Uttarakhand, Delhi and other states. Leading Jammu & Kashmir as captain, Faheem returned home with two gold medals, two silver medals and a bronze — a result that surprised no one who has followed his decade-long career on the ice.
Born in 1992 in Batamaloo, Srinagar, Faheem's introduction to competitive sport had nothing to do with ice. Football, cricket, rugby and athletics filled his childhood, sharpening the reflexes and competitive instinct that would later define his icestock game. It was during a snow rugby event in Gulmarg in 2014 that he first picked up an icestock — handed to him, almost by chance, by Manfred Schafer, then head of the International Federation of IcestockSport. His first throw hit the target. He has barely stopped since.
What followed was over a decade of steady, often unglamorous graft: training on poorly maintained ice, competing with borrowed gear, and traveling to international meets on shoestring budgets, all in a country where winter sports infrastructure remains thin, and in a region where it is thinner still.
The results, however, tell their own story. Faheem has represented India in more than 200 international matches and picked up medals across three continents. A career highlight came at the 2025 World Icestock Championship in Kapfenberg & Stanz, Austria, where he helped India to a team bronze medal and a fourth-place finish in Team Long Distance, lifting India to a Top-7 world ranking in the Team Game category — one of the strongest results posted by an Indian side at that level.
Away from the rink, Faheem has built an equally serious second career. He holds a degree in Computer Engineering and a master's degree in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, has worked as a programmer and certified UX designer, and is an independent researcher with contributions to published research. Few of his rivals on the ice, in India or abroad, carry a resume quite like it.
Yet those who know him say it is his work off the rink that matters most to him. Through the Vaadi E Kashmir Foundation, Faheem is involved in youth development, digital literacy and community sports programmes across the Valley, and is a familiar sight coaching children on makeshift rinks after his own competitions wrap up. Kids in Gulmarg and Srinagar follow his results closely; for many, he has become proof that a path exists — even from a region with little winter sports tradition and even less support.
"We're not that far behind," Faheem has said of India's standing in the sport. "We just need people to believe in us."
With the Dehradun tournament now added to an already long list of national titles, Faheem's ambitions have not slowed. The European Championships are next on his calendar, with Olympic qualification the ultimate target — a goal he has framed not as a personal milestone, but as a message to "every kid who thinks they can't make it because they're from Kashmir."

Studying Abroad Sounds Exciting. But Where Should You Actually Go?


There is a particular kind of excitement that happens when a student says:“I want to study abroad.”
Suddenly, the family WhatsApp group is full of university rankings, YouTube campus tours, tuition fees and somebody's friend's cousin who apparently knows everything about studying in Europe.
Then comes the slightly less exciting question:
“Okay. Where exactly?”
With thousands of universities, courses and destinations to choose from, finding the right university can quickly become overwhelming.
And the biggest university name isn't necessarily the best answer.
Start With the Student, Not the University
A good university on paper can still be the wrong choice for a particular student.
The course may not fit their career goals. The cost may not work for the family. The country may offer an exciting opportunity but an environment the student isn't prepared for.
That is why university admissions should begin with a few more important questions:
Is the student eligible? What do they want to study? Can they afford it? Are they ready to live independently? And what kind of environment will help them thrive?
AdmissionsNest begins with understanding the student before moving into university shortlisting.
Through eligibility and readiness assessments and personalised admissions counselling, students can explore courses and universities based on their academic profile, goals, circumstances and aspirations.
Because Studying Abroad Is More Than Getting on a Plane
Getting admission to a university in Europe is an achievement.
But then comes the part nobody puts on the university brochure.
The weather may be completely different. Classroom expectations may change. Food, communication styles and social norms may be unfamiliar. Students may suddenly be managing their own money, accommodation, travel and daily life.
And then there is culture.
Europe offers an enormous variety of languages, traditions, communities and ways of life. For a student coming from India, that can be an incredible opportunity to discover new perspectives and people.
It can also take some getting used to.
AdmissionsNest therefore looks beyond academic eligibility to student readiness, helping students think about whether they are prepared for the independence, cultural adjustment and new environment that come with studying abroad.
Because getting there is one thing.
Being comfortable enough to thrive there is another.
Finding the Right Option Without Getting Lost in the Options
Students don't always need the same pathway.
For one, the right choice might be a university in the UK or elsewhere in Europe.
For another, it could be one of India's leading institutions.
For a working professional looking to change careers, upskill or pursue a promotion, an online degree may be the smarter option, allowing education to fit around an existing career.
AdmissionsNest helps students explore these different pathways through its university and course options, filtering possibilities based on relevant factors and providing one-to-one admissions counselling to help narrow the field.
And because higher education is a significant financial commitment, the conversation also needs to include scholarships, education loans, living costs and available work-and-study opportunities, where applicable.
From Shortlisting to the Admission Letter
Once a student has identified suitable options, AdmissionsNest can support the next steps, including applications, documentation, scholarship guidance, education-loan assistance and visa support.
The goal isn't to send every student abroad.
It is to help each student find a pathway that makes sense for their education, career goals, finances and readiness.
And the support doesn't necessarily stop when the admission letter arrives.
Through the wider Crescet ecosystem and its connection with TutorsNest, students can continue accessing academic guidance and support after they begin their studies.
Because admission is not the finish line.
It's the starting point.
So, Where Should You Go?
Maybe the answer is a university in Europe.
Maybe it's a leading institution in India.
Maybe it's an online degree that lets a working professional build a new career without putting their current one on hold.
The point is that there isn't one “best” university for everyone.
There is a best-fit pathway for each student.
AdmissionsNest is designed to help students and families find it through eligibility assessment, readiness assessment, admissions counselling, university shortlisting and support from application to beyond admission.
Because the question isn't simply:
“Where can I get admitted?”
It's:
“Where can I learn, adapt, grow and build the future I'm actually aiming for?”
That's where the right university search begins.

Anagen Grow Brings Colloidal Particle Suspension Technology to Everyday Hair Care
Caredura Products' new serum is built to get past the surface of the scalp, not just sit on top of it.
Most hair serums make the same promise: apply, wait, hope. What separates one from another is rarely the ingredient list on the label; it's whether the formula actually gets where it needs to go. That is the problem Caredura Products has set out to solve with the launch of Anagen Grow, a hair growth serum built around colloidal particle suspension technology, designed for rapid absorption into the scalp rather than surface-level conditioning.
A delivery problem, not just a formula problem
Hair fall is rarely caused by a single factor. Stress, pollution, chemical treatments, heat styling, poor nutrition and a dry, undernourished scalp can all combine to push hair out of its active growth phase, known as the anagen phase, and into shedding earlier than it should. Most treatments target this from the outside, sitting on the hair shaft or the scalp surface. Anagen Grow takes a different route.
Its colloidal particle suspension technology is engineered to break active ingredients down into finer particles that can move past the surface layer and reach the scalp more efficiently. The result is a deep-acting enriched formula that doesn't just coat hair but works at the level where hair growth actually begins, the follicle.
What the serum is designed to do
Anagen Grow's benefits are built around five outcomes: promoting hair growth, minimizing hair loss induced by DHT (dihydrotestosterone, the hormone widely linked to hair thinning and hair fall), protecting hair from ongoing damage, stimulating activation and elongation at the hair root, and nourishing and moisturizing both scalp and hair shaft.
Central to this is the serum's effect on the hair growth cycle itself. Hair moves through distinct phases, and the anagen phase, when hair is actively growing, determines how long and how strong each strand can become. Formulated with select herbal extracts including Amla (Phyllanthus emblica), curry leaves (Murraya koenigii), henna (Lawsonia alba), indigo (Indigofera tinctoria), false daisy (Eclipta prostrata) and hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) in an aqua base, Anagen Grow is formulated for EGCG-like activity, an antioxidant compound associated with reduced alpha-reductase activity, the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into DHT. By working on this pathway, the serum is positioned to address hair fall closer to its hormonal root cause, rather than only its visible symptoms.
There's a cosmetic layer to the formula as well. Anagen Grow carries a rich, natural colour that lends hair a lustrous shine and light conditioning with regular use, making it a serum that works toward long-term scalp health while also improving how hair looks and feels day to day. 
A herbal approach with a scientific backbone
"Hair loss isn't just a cosmetic issue," said S.J. Harishraj, in comments shared by Caredura Products. "It can affect confidence, choice of style and everyday mood. The right care routine can make a visible difference." That framing runs through Anagen Grow's positioning, not as a quick fix, but as a serum meant to be worked into a regular routine, applied consistently to the scalp and through the length of the hair.
The company recommends applying the serum regularly, spreading it evenly from root to tip, or as directed by a physician, positioning it for sustained use rather than occasional treatment.
Where to find it
Anagen Grow is available now through Caredura Products' own retail platforms. Caredura Products brings scientifically proven and clinically effective skin and hair care to customers' doorsteps, with www.caredurastore.in serving customers within India, and www.caredurastore.com handling shipping for customers outside the country.
For a category crowded with serums promising similar results, Anagen Grow's pitch is less about a new ingredient and more about a new mechanism, reaching the scalp faster, and staying there long enough to make a difference. Whether that translates into visibly stronger, thicker hair will, as with any hair care product, come down to consistent use over time. But for a market that has seen relatively little innovation in how these formulas are actually delivered, colloidal particle suspension technology gives Caredura Products a distinct story to tell.

EzeeHoney Taps India's Growing On-the-Go Wellness Trend with Convenient Premium Honey Solutions
The trend of healthy lifestyles among consumers and the time constraints has led to an increasing need for convenient, healthful and clean labeled products. In response to this change, EzeeHoney has created a new convenient and portable way to enjoy one of nature's oldest superfoods by introducing its high quality single serve honey twigs with purity, portability and convenience.
Today's consumers are looking for foods that seamlessly fit into their daily routines without compromising on quality or nutrition. From commuting to work, travelling, working out, or working in the office, they want products that are convenient to take, sanitary, and ready to eat. EzeeHoney meets this growing demand by revolutionising the traditional honey jar into a convenient and mess free single serve portion, which can be consumed anywhere, anytime.
EzeeHoney's individually sealed honey twigs are a convenient solution for the busy, modern lifestyle and unlike traditional honey packaging, they do not require spoons or special storage. The portion controlled format allows you to reduce the risk of sticky messes, product wastage and a guarantee of freshness with each portion. Consumers can just pop open a twig and eat the pure honey or pour a bit into their tea, coffee or smoothies, or add the honey to their breakfast bowls, yogurt, cereals or all their regular dishes.
The company's spokesperson said that the idea behind EzeeHoney was to make natural honey easily available and convenient for the people of today. Our honey twigs offer high quality and unbeatable convenience, while retaining the natural goodness of the honey.
The brand caters to the consumers who are looking for authentic taste and innovative wellness products with a well-curated portfolio of products such as Himalayan Multi-Flora Honey, Lemon-Infused Honey, Lychee Blossom Honey, Vanilla-Infused Honey and functional Lakadong Turmeric Honey. Each variety is carefully developed to maintain the natural characteristics of the honey and provide unique taste and functionality.
Consumer trends show that there is an increasing demand for clean-label foods – those that contain easy-to-understand ingredients. The more people get to know about mindful eating, the more we see products that provide natural nutrition in convenient formats become a daily part of people's wellness regimes. With its versatility and natural sweetness, honey is making a comeback in the world of health-conscious consumers seeking alternatives to refined sugar.
EzeeHoney's innovative solution also resonates with the increased demand for packaging where control of servings is important for responsible consumption and to avoid further waste. Its compact design makes it ideal for professionals, students, fitness enthusiasts, travellers and families who want to get good nutrition without sacrificing convenience.
EzeeHoney not only brings a new packaging format, but also a new range of experience to the consumer culture of honey, by making it a practical everyday companion as opposed to an occasional beaker of pantry honey. Incorporating high-quality ingredients, user-friendly functionality, and contemporary amenities, the brand is developing a new category experience in keeping with today's consumers' expectations.
In a country where the wellness lifestyle and functional foods are gaining momentum, EzeeHoney is at the nexus of health, innovation and convenience, making pure honey consumption more convenient for customers than ever before.

EarnPe Crosses 5,000 Publishers and 500 Brand Partnerships as India's Creator Economy Expands Beyond Metro Cities


India's affiliate marketing industry is witnessing a significant shift as creators and digital entrepreneurs from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities increasingly embrace performance marketing as a sustainable source of income. Driven by expanding internet access, affordable smartphones, digital payments, and the rapid growth of regional content, affiliate marketing is becoming an accessible business opportunity for individuals across the country.Reflecting this trend, EarnPe, an Indian affiliate marketing platform, today announced that it has grown its network to more than 5,000 publishers, partnered with over 500 brands, and facilitated more than ₹100 crore in sales through its performance marketing ecosystem since its launch in October 2022.
The milestone highlights the growing adoption of affiliate marketing among creators, influencers, bloggers, shopping communities, and digital publishers who are seeking long-term monetization opportunities beyond traditional advertising and sponsored content.
Founded by Prabhu Marimuthu and Magesh Subramanian, EarnPe was created with a clear objective—to simplify affiliate marketing for Indian publishers while helping brands connect with high-intent consumers through measurable, performance-based campaigns.
"Affiliate marketing in India is no longer limited to large publishers or creators in metropolitan cities," said Prabhu Marimuthu, Co-founder of EarnPe. "Over the last few years, we've seen remarkable growth from creators in smaller cities who are building engaged communities around shopping, technology, finance, education, lifestyle, and local content. Our vision has always been to provide them with the same opportunities that were once available only to established digital publishers."
India's Digital Economy is Creating New Opportunities
India's digital landscape has transformed dramatically over the past decade. Affordable mobile data, increasing smartphone penetration, widespread adoption of UPI-based digital payments, and improved logistics have enabled millions of consumers to participate in online commerce.
Alongside this growth, the creator economy has expanded beyond YouTube and Instagram. Today, creators operate across Telegram channels, WhatsApp communities, blogs, websites, Facebook groups, regional-language platforms, and niche online communities, attracting highly engaged audiences with specialized content.
As audiences become more focused and communities become more trusted, affiliate marketing has emerged as an effective way for creators to monetize recommendations without relying solely on advertisements or one-time brand collaborations.
Unlike conventional digital advertising, affiliate marketing aligns the interests of brands and publishers. Creators earn commissions only when a desired customer action takes place, while brands pay for measurable business outcomes rather than impressions alone.
This performance-based model has contributed to the increasing adoption of affiliate marketing across India's growing digital ecosystem.
Supporting Publishers Beyond Metropolitan India
While India's largest cities played a significant role in the early growth of digital commerce, recent years have seen increasing participation from smaller cities where digital entrepreneurship is gaining momentum.
Recognising this shift, EarnPe has focused on building a platform that lowers the barriers to entry for aspiring affiliate marketers.
The platform enables publishers to discover campaigns, generate affiliate links, monitor campaign performance, and track commissions through a single dashboard. This simplified workflow allows creators to focus on producing quality content while managing their affiliate business efficiently.
Today, EarnPe's publisher network includes shopping influencers, technology reviewers, finance creators, bloggers, deal-sharing communities, coupon websites, YouTube creators, Telegram administrators, WhatsApp community owners, and digital entrepreneurs across hundreds of Indian cities.
According to the company, a growing proportion of new publisher registrations now originate from Tier 2 and Tier 3 locations, reflecting the broader democratization of India's digital economy.
Expanding Partnerships Across Multiple Industries
EarnPe's growth has been supported by an expanding portfolio of brand partnerships spanning several consumer sectors.
The platform currently offers affiliate campaigns across e-commerce, fashion, electronics, beauty and personal care, travel, finance, lifestyle, and other high-growth categories.
Its network includes more than 500 partner brands, including well-known names such as Flipkart, Myntra, and AJIO, providing publishers with a diverse range of campaigns that match the interests of their audiences.
For brands, affiliate marketing offers an opportunity to work with creators whose recommendations often carry greater credibility than traditional digital advertising.
By enabling brands to collaborate with publishers on a performance basis, EarnPe helps improve customer acquisition while maintaining a measurable return on marketing investment.
Helping Creators Build Sustainable Income
For many creators, building an audience is only one part of the journey. Developing sustainable and recurring revenue streams remains an equally important challenge.
Advertising revenue often fluctuates based on platform algorithms, seasonal demand, and advertiser budgets. Brand collaborations may be occasional rather than consistent.
Affiliate marketing provides an additional monetization channel that rewards creators for recommending products and services that align with their audience's interests.
EarnPe enables publishers to access campaigns from multiple brands through a single platform, eliminating the need to manage multiple affiliate accounts independently.
Whether creators publish shopping recommendations, product reviews, educational videos, comparison articles, or lifestyle content, the platform allows them to integrate affiliate marketing naturally into their existing content strategy.
According to the company, this approach helps creators diversify their income while maintaining authenticity and audience trust.
Real Success Stories
The impact of affiliate marketing is becoming increasingly visible within EarnPe's publisher community.
One publisher based in Jaipur built a niche shopping community focused on sharing deals, product recommendations, and online shopping tips. Through consistent audience engagement and strategic campaign selection, the publisher now earns more than ₹50,000 per month in affiliate commissions using the EarnPe platform.
The company says similar stories are emerging from multiple cities across India as creators recognise affiliate marketing as a long-term business model rather than simply an additional source of income.
These examples demonstrate how digital entrepreneurship is expanding beyond metropolitan India, creating opportunities for individuals regardless of geography or professional background.
Technology Designed for Performance Marketing
Behind the platform is a technology infrastructure built to simplify campaign management for publishers while improving transparency for brands.
EarnPe enables publishers to browse available campaigns, generate affiliate tracking links, monitor clicks and conversions, review commission reports, and analyse campaign performance through a unified interface.
For advertisers, the platform provides access to a growing network of performance-driven publishers capable of reaching consumers through trusted content and engaged communities.
The company's continued investment in technology aims to improve campaign discovery, analytics, reporting capabilities, and user experience while supporting future growth across both publisher and advertiser ecosystems.
Looking Ahead
India's creator economy continues to evolve at a rapid pace, and affiliate marketing is expected to play an increasingly important role in helping creators build sustainable businesses.
As consumers rely more heavily on creator recommendations before making purchasing decisions, brands are also placing greater emphasis on performance-based partnerships that deliver measurable outcomes.
EarnPe plans to expand its publisher ecosystem, strengthen brand partnerships, introduce additional automation and analytics capabilities, and continue investing in technologies that simplify affiliate marketing for both creators and advertisers.
The company believes the next phase of growth will be driven not only by increasing internet penetration but also by the growing maturity of India's creator ecosystem, where individuals are building specialised communities with highly engaged audiences.
"Our ambition extends beyond building an affiliate platform," added Marimuthu. "We want to create an ecosystem where creators, publishers and brands grow together through transparency, measurable performance and long-term partnerships. As more people explore digital entrepreneurship, we believe affiliate marketing will become one of the most accessible ways to build sustainable online businesses."
About EarnPe
Founded in 2022, EarnPe is an Indian affiliate marketing platform that connects publishers, creators, influencers, bloggers, shopping communities, and digital marketers with leading brands through performance-based marketing campaigns.
The platform provides campaign discovery, affiliate link generation, conversion tracking, reporting, and commission management through a unified dashboard. With a growing network of more than 5,000 publishers, 500+ brand partnerships, and over ₹100 crore in sales facilitated, EarnPe is helping creators across India monetize their audiences while enabling brands to scale customer acquisition through measurable performance marketing.

India's affiliate marketing industry is witnessing a significant shift as creators and digital entrepreneurs from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities increasingly embrace performance marketing as a sustainable source of income. Driven by expanding internet access, affordable smartphones, digital payments, and the rapid growth of regional content, affiliate marketing is becoming an accessible business opportunity for individuals across the country.Reflecting this trend, EarnPe, an Indian affiliate marketing platform, today announced that it has grown its network to more than 5,000 publishers, partnered with over 500 brands, and facilitated more than ₹100 crore in sales through its performance marketing ecosystem since its launch in October 2022.
The milestone highlights the growing adoption of affiliate marketing among creators, influencers, bloggers, shopping communities, and digital publishers who are seeking long-term monetization opportunities beyond traditional advertising and sponsored content.
Founded by Prabhu Marimuthu and Magesh Subramanian, EarnPe was created with a clear objective—to simplify affiliate marketing for Indian publishers while helping brands connect with high-intent consumers through measurable, performance-based campaigns.
"Affiliate marketing in India is no longer limited to large publishers or creators in metropolitan cities," said Prabhu Marimuthu, Co-founder of EarnPe. "Over the last few years, we've seen remarkable growth from creators in smaller cities who are building engaged communities around shopping, technology, finance, education, lifestyle, and local content. Our vision has always been to provide them with the same opportunities that were once available only to established digital publishers."
India's Digital Economy is Creating New Opportunities
India's digital landscape has transformed dramatically over the past decade. Affordable mobile data, increasing smartphone penetration, widespread adoption of UPI-based digital payments, and improved logistics have enabled millions of consumers to participate in online commerce.
Alongside this growth, the creator economy has expanded beyond YouTube and Instagram. Today, creators operate across Telegram channels, WhatsApp communities, blogs, websites, Facebook groups, regional-language platforms, and niche online communities, attracting highly engaged audiences with specialized content.
As audiences become more focused and communities become more trusted, affiliate marketing has emerged as an effective way for creators to monetize recommendations without relying solely on advertisements or one-time brand collaborations.
Unlike conventional digital advertising, affiliate marketing aligns the interests of brands and publishers. Creators earn commissions only when a desired customer action takes place, while brands pay for measurable business outcomes rather than impressions alone.
This performance-based model has contributed to the increasing adoption of affiliate marketing across India's growing digital ecosystem.
Supporting Publishers Beyond Metropolitan India
While India's largest cities played a significant role in the early growth of digital commerce, recent years have seen increasing participation from smaller cities where digital entrepreneurship is gaining momentum.
Recognising this shift, EarnPe has focused on building a platform that lowers the barriers to entry for aspiring affiliate marketers.
The platform enables publishers to discover campaigns, generate affiliate links, monitor campaign performance, and track commissions through a single dashboard. This simplified workflow allows creators to focus on producing quality content while managing their affiliate business efficiently.
Today, EarnPe's publisher network includes shopping influencers, technology reviewers, finance creators, bloggers, deal-sharing communities, coupon websites, YouTube creators, Telegram administrators, WhatsApp community owners, and digital entrepreneurs across hundreds of Indian cities.
According to the company, a growing proportion of new publisher registrations now originate from Tier 2 and Tier 3 locations, reflecting the broader democratization of India's digital economy.
Expanding Partnerships Across Multiple Industries
EarnPe's growth has been supported by an expanding portfolio of brand partnerships spanning several consumer sectors.
The platform currently offers affiliate campaigns across e-commerce, fashion, electronics, beauty and personal care, travel, finance, lifestyle, and other high-growth categories.
Its network includes more than 500 partner brands, including well-known names such as Flipkart, Myntra, and AJIO, providing publishers with a diverse range of campaigns that match the interests of their audiences.
For brands, affiliate marketing offers an opportunity to work with creators whose recommendations often carry greater credibility than traditional digital advertising.
By enabling brands to collaborate with publishers on a performance basis, EarnPe helps improve customer acquisition while maintaining a measurable return on marketing investment.
Helping Creators Build Sustainable Income
For many creators, building an audience is only one part of the journey. Developing sustainable and recurring revenue streams remains an equally important challenge.
Advertising revenue often fluctuates based on platform algorithms, seasonal demand, and advertiser budgets. Brand collaborations may be occasional rather than consistent.
Affiliate marketing provides an additional monetization channel that rewards creators for recommending products and services that align with their audience's interests.
EarnPe enables publishers to access campaigns from multiple brands through a single platform, eliminating the need to manage multiple affiliate accounts independently.
Whether creators publish shopping recommendations, product reviews, educational videos, comparison articles, or lifestyle content, the platform allows them to integrate affiliate marketing naturally into their existing content strategy.
According to the company, this approach helps creators diversify their income while maintaining authenticity and audience trust.
Real Success Stories
The impact of affiliate marketing is becoming increasingly visible within EarnPe's publisher community.
One publisher based in Jaipur built a niche shopping community focused on sharing deals, product recommendations, and online shopping tips. Through consistent audience engagement and strategic campaign selection, the publisher now earns more than ₹50,000 per month in affiliate commissions using the EarnPe platform.
The company says similar stories are emerging from multiple cities across India as creators recognise affiliate marketing as a long-term business model rather than simply an additional source of income.
These examples demonstrate how digital entrepreneurship is expanding beyond metropolitan India, creating opportunities for individuals regardless of geography or professional background.
Technology Designed for Performance Marketing
Behind the platform is a technology infrastructure built to simplify campaign management for publishers while improving transparency for brands.
EarnPe enables publishers to browse available campaigns, generate affiliate tracking links, monitor clicks and conversions, review commission reports, and analyse campaign performance through a unified interface.
For advertisers, the platform provides access to a growing network of performance-driven publishers capable of reaching consumers through trusted content and engaged communities.
The company's continued investment in technology aims to improve campaign discovery, analytics, reporting capabilities, and user experience while supporting future growth across both publisher and advertiser ecosystems.
Looking Ahead
India's creator economy continues to evolve at a rapid pace, and affiliate marketing is expected to play an increasingly important role in helping creators build sustainable businesses.
As consumers rely more heavily on creator recommendations before making purchasing decisions, brands are also placing greater emphasis on performance-based partnerships that deliver measurable outcomes.
EarnPe plans to expand its publisher ecosystem, strengthen brand partnerships, introduce additional automation and analytics capabilities, and continue investing in technologies that simplify affiliate marketing for both creators and advertisers.
The company believes the next phase of growth will be driven not only by increasing internet penetration but also by the growing maturity of India's creator ecosystem, where individuals are building specialised communities with highly engaged audiences.
"Our ambition extends beyond building an affiliate platform," added Marimuthu. "We want to create an ecosystem where creators, publishers and brands grow together through transparency, measurable performance and long-term partnerships. As more people explore digital entrepreneurship, we believe affiliate marketing will become one of the most accessible ways to build sustainable online businesses."

भारत में आज पहली बार हाइड्रोजन से चलेगी ट्रेन, जानिए क्या है खासियत
ॉ#countrysfirsthydrogentrainpmmodiwillflagoftoday 


  


भारत में आज पहली बार हाइड्रोजन से ट्रेन चलेगी। देश की पहली हाइड्रोजन ट्रेन हरियाणा के जींद और सोनीपत रेलवे स्टेशन के बीच चलेगी। पीएम नरेंद्र मोदी इसे हरी झंडी दिखाएंगे। इसके साथ ही हाइड्रोजन फ्यूल से ट्रेन शुरू करने वाला भारत दुनिया का पांचवां देश बन जाएगा।

  

पीएम मोदी ने सोशल मीडिया शेयर की ट्रेन की तस्वीरें
प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी आज हरियाणा के जींद रेलवे स्टेशन से इसे हरी झंडी दिखाएंगे। लॉन्च से पहले पीएम मोदी ने सोशल मीडिया पर ट्रेन की अंदर और बाहर की तस्वीरें भी शेयर की हैं। इन तस्वीरों में ट्रेन का ड्राइवर केबिन, यात्रियों के लिए बना कोच और स्टेशन पर खड़ी ट्रेन दिखाई दे रही है। हालांकि, 17 जुलाई को सिर्फ इसका उद्घाटन होगा। नियमित यात्री सेवा कब शुरू होगी, इसकी तारीख अभी घोषित नहीं की गई है।

  

पूरी तरह भारत में ही तैयार ट्रेन
इस ट्रेन से जुड़ी कई सारी खास बातें हैं। सबसे पहले तो इस ट्रेन को पूरी तरह भारत में ही तैयार किया गया है। आम ट्रेनों की तरह इसे डीजल से चलाने की बजाय हाइड्रोजन फ्यूल से चलाया जाएगा। तीसरी खास बात ये है कि ये दुनिया की सबसे लंबी और सबसे ज्यादा कैपेसिटी वाली हाइड्रोजन ट्रेनों में शामिल होगी। इससे प्रदूषण भी कम होगा और क्लीन एनर्जी को देश में बढ़ावा भी मिलेगा।

  

90 किमीटरकी दूरी क़रीब 2 घंटे में होगी तय
यह ट्रेन 1200 किलोवाट क्षमता वाले हाइड्रोजन फ्यूल-सेल प्रोपल्शन सिस्टम से संचालित होगी और इसकी अधिकतम गति 75 किलोमीटर प्रति घंटा होगी। जींद से सोनीपत के बीच एक तरफ की दूरी क़रीब 90 किलोमीटर है, जिसे यह ट्रेन क़रीब 2 घंटे में तय करेगी।

  

इन स्टेशनों पर होगा ठहराव
रेल मंत्रालय की ओर से मिली जानकारी के अनुसार, यह सेवा ट्रेन संख्या 74010 और 74009 के रूप में संचालित होगी। ट्रेन संख्या 74010 सुबह 7:40 बजे जींद से रवाना होगी और 9:40 बजे सोनीपत पहुंचेगी। इसी तरह ट्रेन संख्या 74009 10:40 बजे सोनीपत से रवाना होगी और दोपहर 1:00 बजे जींद पहुंचेगी। हाइड्रोजन फ्यूल ट्रेन जींद सिटी, पांडू पिंडारा, ललित खेड़ा, भांपेगा, ईशापुर खेड़ी, बुटाना, खांडराई, गोहाना, राबड़ा, लाठ, मोहाना और बरवासनी स्टेशनों पर रुकेगी। इस तरह यह ट्रेन दिन में दो फेरे लगाएगी और हर रोज़ कुल क़रीब 356 किलोमीटर की दूरी तय करेगी।

हाइड्रोजन ट्रेन कैसे काम करती है?
सामान्य ट्रेनें कोयले, डीजल या बिजली से चलती हैं। भारतीय रेलवे के अनुसार, हाइड्रोजन ट्रेन में विशेष फ्यूल-सेल तकनीक का इस्तेमाल किया जाता है। इस तकनीक में हाइड्रोजन गैस की मदद से रासायनिक प्रक्रिया के जरिए बिजली उत्पन्न की जाती है, जिससे ट्रेन संचालित होती है। जहां डीजल इंजन काला धुआं छोड़ते हैं, वहीं हाइड्रोजन इंजन से केवल पानी की भाप निकलती है। अन्य पारंपरिक इंजनों की तुलना में हाइड्रोजन इंजन प्रदूषण नहीं फैलाता।
