Beyond Care: Building India's Longevity Economy By Alok Bhatnagar Founder & CEO, KinKeeper


India stands at the threshold of a demographic transformation that will redefine its economic and social future. For decades, our growth story has been powered by the demographic dividend of a young population. That advantage fuelled entrepreneurship, investment, and innovation. Today, however, a new opportunity is emerging—one that demands an equally ambitious vision.
The future of India's prosperity will not be shaped by youth alone. It will also depend on how successfully we enable millions of older Indians to live healthier, longer, more productive, and financially secure lives.

This is the foundation of the Longevity Economy.

Unlike the traditional view of ageing as a period of dependency, the longevity economy recognises longer lives as an economic asset. It encompasses the products, services, technologies, policies, and infrastructure that enable people to remain healthy, independent, socially connected, and economically active throughout later life. It is about moving beyond care to build an ecosystem that empowers people to age with dignity, purpose, and opportunity.

The scale of this opportunity is significant. According to the UNFPA India Ageing Report 2023, India had approximately 149 million people aged 60 years and above in 2022. By 2050, that number is projected to reach 347 million, representing 20.8% of the population. The population aged 80 years and above is expected to grow by around 279% during the same period. These figures represent one of the most profound demographic shifts in India's history.

The challenge, however, is not simply that people are living longer. It is ensuring they live better. Extending healthspan—the years spent in good physical, mental, and social health—is as important as extending lifespan. Healthier ageing reduces pressure on healthcare systems while enabling people to remain active, independent, and engaged for longer.

This transformation extends far beyond healthcare. It creates opportunities across preventive healthcare, digital health, AgeTech, insurance, retirement planning, accessible housing, mobility, wellness, nutrition, lifelong learning, travel, home modifications, and community-based services. Advances in artificial intelligence, wearable devices, remote monitoring, and assistive technologies are also reshaping how people age safely and independently.

A growing number of senior citizens today possess accumulated savings, home ownership, professional expertise, and decades of experience. They are not merely recipients of care—they are consumers, mentors, entrepreneurs, investors, volunteers, and active contributors to society. Businesses that understand their evolving aspirations will be better positioned to serve one of India's fastest-growing consumer segments.

Recognising this opportunity, NITI Aayog has highlighted the rapid emergence of India's silver economy and the opportunities it presents across healthcare, financial services, housing, technology, wellness, and home-based care. The report also notes that healthcare accounts for nearly 31% of senior citizens' expenditure, underscoring the growing demand for preventive healthcare, rehabilitation, home healthcare, and technology-enabled services.

The longevity economy is also poised to become a major employment generator. As India's population ages, demand will grow for caregivers, geriatric specialists, nurses, physiotherapists, rehabilitation professionals, psychologists, nutritionists, accessibility consultants, financial advisers, and AgeTech innovators. Building this ecosystem can create millions of skilled jobs while improving quality of life and reducing pressure on families.

The Economic Survey 2023–24 introduces the concept of the Silver Dividend, noting that enabling people aged 60–69 to remain economically active could increase GDP across Asian economies by an average of 1.5%. It recommends greater investment in lifelong learning, care infrastructure, workforce development, and age-friendly employment, recognising healthy ageing as both a social and economic priority.

Around the world, countries are already adapting to longer lives. Japan has pioneered AgeTech and robotics for independent living. Germany has strengthened long-term care systems, while Singapore has invested in age-friendly communities and ageing-in-place programmes. Their experience demonstrates that demographic change can become a catalyst for innovation when supported by forward-looking policy and private-sector investment.

India must now develop its own model. Urbanisation, migration, smaller families, and longer life expectancy have changed traditional caregiving patterns. Millions of older parents now live independently while their children pursue careers elsewhere. Meeting their evolving needs will require an integrated ecosystem that combines family support, technology, professional services, and community engagement.

The Government of India has taken encouraging steps through initiatives such as the Senior Ageing Growth Engine (SAGE), which supports startups developing solutions for older adults, alongside programmes that encourage healthy ageing and continued participation in society. Together, these initiatives signal an important shift—from treating ageing primarily as a welfare concern to recognising it as a driver of innovation and economic opportunity.

Yet government action alone will not be enough. Building a longevity economy requires collaboration between policymakers, entrepreneurs, healthcare providers, investors, insurers, technology companies, financial institutions, urban planners, academia, and civil society. Age-friendly infrastructure, preventive healthcare, digital inclusion, lifelong learning, and community-based support must become central to India's development agenda.

As India progresses towards Viksit Bharat 2047, success will not be measured solely by economic growth. It will also be measured by how effectively we enable people of every generation to live healthier, safer, more independent, and financially secure lives.

The question is no longer whether India will become an ageing society—it already is. The real challenge is whether we are prepared to transform longevity into a national advantage.

Building the longevity economy is not simply about caring for older citizens. It is about creating a future where longer lives fuel innovation, strengthen industries, generate employment, and enhance social well-being. India has the scale, entrepreneurial talent, and policy momentum to lead this transformation. If we act with vision today, longevity will become not a demographic challenge, but one of India's greatest economic opportunities.

Soummodeep Dey Appointed National Coordinator of Janata Congress Party, Set to Lead Youth Mobilisation Drive


Jamshedpur/New Delhi: In a move that signals a fresh push for youth-driven politics, the Janata Congress Party (JCP) has elevated Soummodeep Dey, a Jamshedpur-based social worker and youth activist, to the position of National Coordinator. The appointment, confirmed by the party's central leadership, marks a significant step up from his earlier role as the party's National Youth Coordinator and places him at the heart of JCP's organisational expansion across the country.Dey's rise within the party has been steady. Barely months after taking charge of the youth wing under the "People First, Nation First, India First" banner, he has now been handed a broader mandate that goes beyond youth mobilisation to include strengthening the party's central committee structure. Party insiders say the decision reflects growing confidence in his ability to build grassroots networks and translate organisational directives into on-ground action.
"This is not just a position, it is a responsibility to build the organisation across the country and give the voice of the youth a new direction," Dey said following the announcement. He added that his immediate priorities would be organisational expansion, deeper youth participation, and highlighting issues that directly affect ordinary citizens.
A Background Rooted in Service
Dey's political journey did not begin with the Janata Congress Party. Hailing from Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, he first built a public profile through the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Seva Samiti, a community welfare organisation he founded that has been active in blood donation drives, cleanliness campaigns, disaster relief, and support for the underprivileged. The organisation's consistent work in the region earned Dey the Subhash Chandra Bose Icon Award 2025, a recognition of his contribution to social welfare and community development.
Before joining JCP, Dey was also associated with the National Students' Union of India, where he served as State Vice-Chairman of the Social Media Committee for Odisha. During his tenure, he was part of the coordination team for the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Odisha and held responsibilities within the University President NSUI campus committee, giving him early exposure to large-scale organisational coordination and student politics.
On the academic front, Dey holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering and an MBA specialising in Human Resources and Marketing, a combination that party colleagues say has shaped his structured approach to organisational planning.
Party's Push for Youth Leadership
The Janata Congress Party, which has been steadily expanding its footprint, has framed the appointment as part of a larger strategy to bring younger voices into decision-making roles ahead of upcoming state elections, including in Manipur and Goa. The party has also been vocal on regional and cross-border issues, recently expressing solidarity with flood and landslide-affected communities in Nepal, an initiative in which Dey featured prominently as the face of the party's outreach.
Party leadership, in its formal note of congratulations, said it appreciated Dey's trust, passion, and dedication toward youth and the nation, adding that his leadership was expected to help empower young people and position them at the forefront of nation-building efforts.
What Comes Next
With the appointment now official, attention turns to how quickly Dey can translate his organisational experience into visible results for JCP. His task list includes expanding the party's presence in states where it currently has limited structure, strengthening the central committee, and ensuring that youth engagement extends beyond social media messaging into active ground mobilisation.
For a party still building its national identity, the choice of a coordinator with a background in both grassroots social work and structured student politics appears deliberate. Whether this translates into electoral traction remains to be seen, but for now, the appointment has generated visible enthusiasm among party supporters and workers who see it as evidence of the party's willingness to invest in younger leadership.
Soummodeep Dey's appointment as National Coordinator adds a new chapter to a career that has moved from community service in Jamshedpur to student politics in Odisha and now to a national role within the Janata Congress Party's organisational framework.

Nature Hospitality Expands Reach With New International Tour Packages


INDIA — Nature Hospitality, a travel and hospitality provider that has spent over a decade building its name around domestic getaways in Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad and other Indian destinations, has now widened its portfolio to include a full lineup of international tour packages.The company, established in 2014, built its early reputation on curated trips to the Himalayan belt, Wayanad, Munnar, and island destinations such as Lakshadweep. Its move into international travel marks a shift for a brand that has largely been associated with domestic holidays until now.
The new offering includes Paris tour packages built around the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, and the Seine River, along with broader Europe tour packages covering France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, and Spain. Travelers looking specifically at the Alps and lake country can also choose dedicated Switzerland tour packages.
Beyond Europe, Nature Hospitality has added USA tour packages featuring New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Miami, as well as Australia tour packages built around Sydney, Melbourne, and the Gold Coast. The company has also introduced Japan tour packages covering Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Mount Fuji, giving travelers a route into a market that combines modern cities with traditional culture.
For travelers drawn to desert landscapes and city luxury, the company has rolled out Dubai tour packages that include desert safaris, shopping, and sightseeing alongside stays at upscale hotels. South Africa tour packages round out the list, taking travelers through Cape Town, Johannesburg, and wildlife safaris across the country's landscapes.
"Our clients have been asking for the same kind of planning and support they got on their India trips, but for international destinations," the company said. "This expansion is our way of answering that demand without changing how we work with people."
That approach includes honeymoon and family packages, which the company has customized for couples, families, and groups traveling together. Nature Hospitality is also continuing its practice of building personalized itineraries from scratch, based on a traveler's destination, budget, travel dates, and specific preferences, rather than relying only on fixed departures.
Industry watchers have pointed to a broader trend behind this kind of expansion. Indian travelers have increasingly moved from domestic weekend trips toward longer international holidays over the past few years, a shift that has pushed many established domestic operators to add global destinations to their catalogs.
Nature Hospitality's past reviews, many tied to its Himalayan and Kerala tours, have often highlighted the hands-on support its team provides during a trip, including arranging local transport and adjusting plans on short notice. The company says it intends to carry that same level of involvement into its international bookings, from visa guidance to on-ground coordination at each destination.
The company has not limited its international packages to a single style of travel. Its catalog spans romantic city breaks in Paris, adventure-driven safaris in South Africa, beach and city combinations in Australia, and cultural circuits through Japan, giving it a spread that can serve very different types of travelers under one brand.
With this expansion, Nature Hospitality positions itself to compete for a segment of travelers who previously would have booked international trips through separate specialist agencies for each region. By keeping planning, budgeting, and support under one roof, the company is betting that convenience will be as strong a draw as the destinations themselves.
Nature Hospitality says more destinations and packages are expected to be added to its international lineup in the coming months, as it continues building out this side of the business alongside its existing domestic operations.
For those interested in Paris, Europe, USA, Australia, South Africa, Japan, Dubai, Switzerland, honeymoon and family holidays, or a fully customized international itinerary, Nature Hospitality can be reached through its official website and customer support channels.

Sanatan Dharma: The New Indian Brand Creating a Buzz Around Everyday Tradition


What happens when a young entrepreneur looks at something that has existed in Indian homes for centuries and decides to build a modern brand around it?The answer is Sanatan Dharma™—an emerging Indian consumer brand founded by Shivek Tyagi, which is now stepping into the rapidly evolving market for puja essentials and devotional products.
At a time when India's young entrepreneurs are increasingly building brands around traditional Indian products, Sanatan Dharma is attempting something particularly interesting: taking products that families have used for generations and presenting them to a new generation of consumers through modern branding, packaging and digital commerce.
And the idea is beginning to create attention.
From an Everyday Need to a Brand Opportunity
For generations, products such as camphor, cotton wicks, kumkum, kalawa, sindoor and other puja essentials have been purchased almost automatically from neighbourhood stores.
There was rarely a brand conversation around them.
Shivek Tyagi saw an opportunity in exactly that gap.
The thinking was simple: if consumers expect quality, consistency and trust from almost every other category they purchase, why should the products used in their most personal and meaningful rituals be any different?
That thought became the foundation for Sanatan Dharma.
Today, the brand is developing a growing portfolio of puja essentials, devotional products and curated puja kits, with an approach that combines traditional relevance with modern consumer expectations.
Why Is Sanatan Dharma Getting Attention?
Part of the answer lies in timing.
India's relationship with tradition is changing—not disappearing.
Young Indians are increasingly comfortable with digital commerce, modern packaging and online shopping, while at the same time remaining closely connected to festivals, family rituals and cultural practices.
This creates a fascinating opportunity.
A consumer can order groceries online, discover a new brand through social media and still sit with their family for Diwali puja in the evening.
Sanatan Dharma is positioning itself right in the middle of this changing behaviour.
Its proposition is not to change the rituals people follow.
It is to modernise the way the products behind those rituals are discovered and purchased.
From Camphor to Curated Puja Kits
The brand's portfolio includes everyday essentials such as camphor, Bhimseni camphor, cotton wicks, ghee cotton wicks, kumkum, kalawa, sindoor and Ashtagandh, along with curated kits designed around specific pujas and occasions.
The idea of curated kits is particularly relevant to today's consumer.
Instead of searching for every individual item required for a particular ritual, consumers can find products brought together for specific occasions.
It is a simple example of how traditional shopping behaviour can be made more convenient without changing the tradition itself.
The Shivek Tyagi Story
At the centre of this emerging brand is Shivek Tyagi, a young entrepreneur looking at an established category through a different lens.
Rather than entering an already crowded mainstream consumer category, Tyagi chose to build around a segment that is deeply connected to Indian households but has historically had relatively limited organised branding.
That decision reflects a broader entrepreneurial trend in India: finding opportunities not only in new technology or entirely new products, but also in categories that have existed for decades and are ready for a fresh approach.
Sanatan Dharma is still a young brand, but its ambition is considerably larger than its current footprint.
The objective is to build recognition, earn consumer trust and eventually create a household name in the puja and devotional products category.
The “New-Age” Puja Brand
Walk through a modern Indian home and you will see something interesting.
Tradition and technology now exist side by side.
A family may perform the same puja their grandparents performed, but the products for that puja can now be discovered through a smartphone.
That is the market Sanatan Dharma is entering.
The brand's identity combines traditional Indian cultural associations with contemporary packaging and digital accessibility. Its online presence allows consumers to explore its products beyond their local market.
For a category historically dependent on neighbourhood availability, this represents a significant shift.
Building a Brand, Not Just Selling Products
The real challenge for Sanatan Dharma will be building long-term trust.
Creating initial curiosity is one thing.
Becoming a brand that families repeatedly choose is another.
The company, a unit of Sara Greenworks Pvt. Ltd., is therefore looking beyond individual online sales. Its broader plans include expanding through retail stores, distributors, wholesale partnerships and digital commerce.
The ambition is to take the brand from individual households to retail shelves across India—and eventually to Indian communities around the world.
Why the Timing Could Be Right
India's consumer market is increasingly showing an appetite for brands that understand Indian culture.
From food and Ayurveda to handicrafts and traditional wellness products, entrepreneurs are discovering that heritage itself can become the foundation for modern businesses.
Sanatan Dharma is attempting a similar journey in the puja essentials category.
Its biggest advantage may be the familiarity of the products themselves.
Consumers already understand the need.
The opportunity is to give them a brand they can remember.
From Hype to Household Trust
Every emerging brand goes through a stage where curiosity turns into conversation.
Sanatan Dharma is now entering that phase.
Its combination of a young entrepreneurial vision, a culturally significant category and modern consumer positioning is attracting attention among consumers looking for more organised and accessible sources of puja essentials.
But Shivek Tyagi's larger challenge—and opportunity—is clear.
Can a new-age Indian brand become part of an age-old tradition?
If Sanatan Dharma succeeds, its journey could represent more than the growth of another consumer company.
It could demonstrate how India's oldest traditions can create opportunities for India's newest entrepreneurs.
Because the products may be traditional.
The rituals may be centuries old.
But the brand building around them is very much happening in today's India.

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."

रूस ने भारत के पूर्व मुख्य न्यायाधीश (सीजेआई) डीवाई चंद्रचूड़ को यूक्रेन के एक सरकारी बैंक के साथ चल रहे विवाद में अपना मध्यस्थ बनाया है। बार एंड बेंच के अनुसार, यह विवाद रूस की सैन्य कार्रवाई से प्रभावित यूक्रेनी इलाकों में बैंक की संपत्ति और कामकाज से जुड़े दावों से संबंधित है।

  


'बार एंड बेंच' की रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक 'ग्लोबल आर्बिट्रेशन रिव्यू' ने बताया है कि भारत के पूर्व मुख्य न्यायाधीश डीवाई चंद्रचूड़ एक इंटरनेशनल आर्बिट्रेशन ट्रिब्यूनल में रूस का प्रतिनिधित्व करेंगे। यह ट्रिब्यूनल यूक्रेन के सरकारी बैंक 'ओशदबैंक' की तरफ से लाए गए एक विवाद की सुनवाई कर रहा है।

  

चंद्रचूड़ की भूमिका क्या होगी?
रूस ने इस तीन सदस्यीय टीम में अपने पक्ष से जस्टिस डीवाई चंद्रचूड़ को चुना है। यानी वह इस मामले में रूस की ओर से नियुक्त मध्यस्थ होंगे। तीन सदस्यों वाले इस ट्रिब्यूनल की अध्यक्षता कोस्टा रिका की आर्बिट्रेटर और पूर्व ट्रेड मिनिस्टर दयाला जिमेनेज़ करेंगी, जिन्हें रूस और ओशादबैंक ने संयुक्त रूप से चुना था। रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, ग्रीक आर्बिट्रेटर और नेशनल यूनिवर्सिटी ऑफ़ सिंगापुर के प्रोफ़ेसर स्टावरोस ब्रेकोउलाकिस को ओशादबैंक ने ट्रिब्यूनल के तीसरे सदस्य के तौर पर नियुक्त किया है।

  

सैकड़ों करोड़ डॉलर का है विवाद
रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक यह मामला यूक्रेन के डोनेट्स्क, लुहान्स्क, खेरसॉन और जापोरिज्जिया इलाकों में 'ओशादबैंक' की संपत्ति और बिजनेस ऑपरेशन्स पर उसके दावे से जुड़ा है। बैंक का कहना है कि 2022 में रूस के बड़े पैमाने पर हमले और उसके बाद यूक्रेन में सैन्य कार्रवाई के कारण उसने ये संपत्तियां और कामकाज खो दिए। ओशचादबैंक ने रूस से हुए नुकसान की भरपाई की मांग की है। इस दावे की रकम सैकड़ों करोड़ डॉलर बताई जा रही है।

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.

Beyond Care: Building India's Longevity Economy By Alok Bhatnagar Founder & CEO, KinKeeper


India stands at the threshold of a demographic transformation that will redefine its economic and social future. For decades, our growth story has been powered by the demographic dividend of a young population. That advantage fuelled entrepreneurship, investment, and innovation. Today, however, a new opportunity is emerging—one that demands an equally ambitious vision.
The future of India's prosperity will not be shaped by youth alone. It will also depend on how successfully we enable millions of older Indians to live healthier, longer, more productive, and financially secure lives.

This is the foundation of the Longevity Economy.

Unlike the traditional view of ageing as a period of dependency, the longevity economy recognises longer lives as an economic asset. It encompasses the products, services, technologies, policies, and infrastructure that enable people to remain healthy, independent, socially connected, and economically active throughout later life. It is about moving beyond care to build an ecosystem that empowers people to age with dignity, purpose, and opportunity.

The scale of this opportunity is significant. According to the UNFPA India Ageing Report 2023, India had approximately 149 million people aged 60 years and above in 2022. By 2050, that number is projected to reach 347 million, representing 20.8% of the population. The population aged 80 years and above is expected to grow by around 279% during the same period. These figures represent one of the most profound demographic shifts in India's history.

The challenge, however, is not simply that people are living longer. It is ensuring they live better. Extending healthspan—the years spent in good physical, mental, and social health—is as important as extending lifespan. Healthier ageing reduces pressure on healthcare systems while enabling people to remain active, independent, and engaged for longer.

This transformation extends far beyond healthcare. It creates opportunities across preventive healthcare, digital health, AgeTech, insurance, retirement planning, accessible housing, mobility, wellness, nutrition, lifelong learning, travel, home modifications, and community-based services. Advances in artificial intelligence, wearable devices, remote monitoring, and assistive technologies are also reshaping how people age safely and independently.

A growing number of senior citizens today possess accumulated savings, home ownership, professional expertise, and decades of experience. They are not merely recipients of care—they are consumers, mentors, entrepreneurs, investors, volunteers, and active contributors to society. Businesses that understand their evolving aspirations will be better positioned to serve one of India's fastest-growing consumer segments.

Recognising this opportunity, NITI Aayog has highlighted the rapid emergence of India's silver economy and the opportunities it presents across healthcare, financial services, housing, technology, wellness, and home-based care. The report also notes that healthcare accounts for nearly 31% of senior citizens' expenditure, underscoring the growing demand for preventive healthcare, rehabilitation, home healthcare, and technology-enabled services.

The longevity economy is also poised to become a major employment generator. As India's population ages, demand will grow for caregivers, geriatric specialists, nurses, physiotherapists, rehabilitation professionals, psychologists, nutritionists, accessibility consultants, financial advisers, and AgeTech innovators. Building this ecosystem can create millions of skilled jobs while improving quality of life and reducing pressure on families.

The Economic Survey 2023–24 introduces the concept of the Silver Dividend, noting that enabling people aged 60–69 to remain economically active could increase GDP across Asian economies by an average of 1.5%. It recommends greater investment in lifelong learning, care infrastructure, workforce development, and age-friendly employment, recognising healthy ageing as both a social and economic priority.

Around the world, countries are already adapting to longer lives. Japan has pioneered AgeTech and robotics for independent living. Germany has strengthened long-term care systems, while Singapore has invested in age-friendly communities and ageing-in-place programmes. Their experience demonstrates that demographic change can become a catalyst for innovation when supported by forward-looking policy and private-sector investment.

India must now develop its own model. Urbanisation, migration, smaller families, and longer life expectancy have changed traditional caregiving patterns. Millions of older parents now live independently while their children pursue careers elsewhere. Meeting their evolving needs will require an integrated ecosystem that combines family support, technology, professional services, and community engagement.

The Government of India has taken encouraging steps through initiatives such as the Senior Ageing Growth Engine (SAGE), which supports startups developing solutions for older adults, alongside programmes that encourage healthy ageing and continued participation in society. Together, these initiatives signal an important shift—from treating ageing primarily as a welfare concern to recognising it as a driver of innovation and economic opportunity.

Yet government action alone will not be enough. Building a longevity economy requires collaboration between policymakers, entrepreneurs, healthcare providers, investors, insurers, technology companies, financial institutions, urban planners, academia, and civil society. Age-friendly infrastructure, preventive healthcare, digital inclusion, lifelong learning, and community-based support must become central to India's development agenda.

As India progresses towards Viksit Bharat 2047, success will not be measured solely by economic growth. It will also be measured by how effectively we enable people of every generation to live healthier, safer, more independent, and financially secure lives.

The question is no longer whether India will become an ageing society—it already is. The real challenge is whether we are prepared to transform longevity into a national advantage.

Building the longevity economy is not simply about caring for older citizens. It is about creating a future where longer lives fuel innovation, strengthen industries, generate employment, and enhance social well-being. India has the scale, entrepreneurial talent, and policy momentum to lead this transformation. If we act with vision today, longevity will become not a demographic challenge, but one of India's greatest economic opportunities.

Soummodeep Dey Appointed National Coordinator of Janata Congress Party, Set to Lead Youth Mobilisation Drive


Jamshedpur/New Delhi: In a move that signals a fresh push for youth-driven politics, the Janata Congress Party (JCP) has elevated Soummodeep Dey, a Jamshedpur-based social worker and youth activist, to the position of National Coordinator. The appointment, confirmed by the party's central leadership, marks a significant step up from his earlier role as the party's National Youth Coordinator and places him at the heart of JCP's organisational expansion across the country.Dey's rise within the party has been steady. Barely months after taking charge of the youth wing under the "People First, Nation First, India First" banner, he has now been handed a broader mandate that goes beyond youth mobilisation to include strengthening the party's central committee structure. Party insiders say the decision reflects growing confidence in his ability to build grassroots networks and translate organisational directives into on-ground action.
"This is not just a position, it is a responsibility to build the organisation across the country and give the voice of the youth a new direction," Dey said following the announcement. He added that his immediate priorities would be organisational expansion, deeper youth participation, and highlighting issues that directly affect ordinary citizens.
A Background Rooted in Service
Dey's political journey did not begin with the Janata Congress Party. Hailing from Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, he first built a public profile through the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Seva Samiti, a community welfare organisation he founded that has been active in blood donation drives, cleanliness campaigns, disaster relief, and support for the underprivileged. The organisation's consistent work in the region earned Dey the Subhash Chandra Bose Icon Award 2025, a recognition of his contribution to social welfare and community development.
Before joining JCP, Dey was also associated with the National Students' Union of India, where he served as State Vice-Chairman of the Social Media Committee for Odisha. During his tenure, he was part of the coordination team for the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Odisha and held responsibilities within the University President NSUI campus committee, giving him early exposure to large-scale organisational coordination and student politics.
On the academic front, Dey holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering and an MBA specialising in Human Resources and Marketing, a combination that party colleagues say has shaped his structured approach to organisational planning.
Party's Push for Youth Leadership
The Janata Congress Party, which has been steadily expanding its footprint, has framed the appointment as part of a larger strategy to bring younger voices into decision-making roles ahead of upcoming state elections, including in Manipur and Goa. The party has also been vocal on regional and cross-border issues, recently expressing solidarity with flood and landslide-affected communities in Nepal, an initiative in which Dey featured prominently as the face of the party's outreach.
Party leadership, in its formal note of congratulations, said it appreciated Dey's trust, passion, and dedication toward youth and the nation, adding that his leadership was expected to help empower young people and position them at the forefront of nation-building efforts.
What Comes Next
With the appointment now official, attention turns to how quickly Dey can translate his organisational experience into visible results for JCP. His task list includes expanding the party's presence in states where it currently has limited structure, strengthening the central committee, and ensuring that youth engagement extends beyond social media messaging into active ground mobilisation.
For a party still building its national identity, the choice of a coordinator with a background in both grassroots social work and structured student politics appears deliberate. Whether this translates into electoral traction remains to be seen, but for now, the appointment has generated visible enthusiasm among party supporters and workers who see it as evidence of the party's willingness to invest in younger leadership.
Soummodeep Dey's appointment as National Coordinator adds a new chapter to a career that has moved from community service in Jamshedpur to student politics in Odisha and now to a national role within the Janata Congress Party's organisational framework.

Nature Hospitality Expands Reach With New International Tour Packages


INDIA — Nature Hospitality, a travel and hospitality provider that has spent over a decade building its name around domestic getaways in Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad and other Indian destinations, has now widened its portfolio to include a full lineup of international tour packages.The company, established in 2014, built its early reputation on curated trips to the Himalayan belt, Wayanad, Munnar, and island destinations such as Lakshadweep. Its move into international travel marks a shift for a brand that has largely been associated with domestic holidays until now.
The new offering includes Paris tour packages built around the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, and the Seine River, along with broader Europe tour packages covering France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, and Spain. Travelers looking specifically at the Alps and lake country can also choose dedicated Switzerland tour packages.
Beyond Europe, Nature Hospitality has added USA tour packages featuring New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Miami, as well as Australia tour packages built around Sydney, Melbourne, and the Gold Coast. The company has also introduced Japan tour packages covering Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Mount Fuji, giving travelers a route into a market that combines modern cities with traditional culture.
For travelers drawn to desert landscapes and city luxury, the company has rolled out Dubai tour packages that include desert safaris, shopping, and sightseeing alongside stays at upscale hotels. South Africa tour packages round out the list, taking travelers through Cape Town, Johannesburg, and wildlife safaris across the country's landscapes.
"Our clients have been asking for the same kind of planning and support they got on their India trips, but for international destinations," the company said. "This expansion is our way of answering that demand without changing how we work with people."
That approach includes honeymoon and family packages, which the company has customized for couples, families, and groups traveling together. Nature Hospitality is also continuing its practice of building personalized itineraries from scratch, based on a traveler's destination, budget, travel dates, and specific preferences, rather than relying only on fixed departures.
Industry watchers have pointed to a broader trend behind this kind of expansion. Indian travelers have increasingly moved from domestic weekend trips toward longer international holidays over the past few years, a shift that has pushed many established domestic operators to add global destinations to their catalogs.
Nature Hospitality's past reviews, many tied to its Himalayan and Kerala tours, have often highlighted the hands-on support its team provides during a trip, including arranging local transport and adjusting plans on short notice. The company says it intends to carry that same level of involvement into its international bookings, from visa guidance to on-ground coordination at each destination.
The company has not limited its international packages to a single style of travel. Its catalog spans romantic city breaks in Paris, adventure-driven safaris in South Africa, beach and city combinations in Australia, and cultural circuits through Japan, giving it a spread that can serve very different types of travelers under one brand.
With this expansion, Nature Hospitality positions itself to compete for a segment of travelers who previously would have booked international trips through separate specialist agencies for each region. By keeping planning, budgeting, and support under one roof, the company is betting that convenience will be as strong a draw as the destinations themselves.
Nature Hospitality says more destinations and packages are expected to be added to its international lineup in the coming months, as it continues building out this side of the business alongside its existing domestic operations.
For those interested in Paris, Europe, USA, Australia, South Africa, Japan, Dubai, Switzerland, honeymoon and family holidays, or a fully customized international itinerary, Nature Hospitality can be reached through its official website and customer support channels.

Sanatan Dharma: The New Indian Brand Creating a Buzz Around Everyday Tradition


What happens when a young entrepreneur looks at something that has existed in Indian homes for centuries and decides to build a modern brand around it?The answer is Sanatan Dharma™—an emerging Indian consumer brand founded by Shivek Tyagi, which is now stepping into the rapidly evolving market for puja essentials and devotional products.
At a time when India's young entrepreneurs are increasingly building brands around traditional Indian products, Sanatan Dharma is attempting something particularly interesting: taking products that families have used for generations and presenting them to a new generation of consumers through modern branding, packaging and digital commerce.
And the idea is beginning to create attention.
From an Everyday Need to a Brand Opportunity
For generations, products such as camphor, cotton wicks, kumkum, kalawa, sindoor and other puja essentials have been purchased almost automatically from neighbourhood stores.
There was rarely a brand conversation around them.
Shivek Tyagi saw an opportunity in exactly that gap.
The thinking was simple: if consumers expect quality, consistency and trust from almost every other category they purchase, why should the products used in their most personal and meaningful rituals be any different?
That thought became the foundation for Sanatan Dharma.
Today, the brand is developing a growing portfolio of puja essentials, devotional products and curated puja kits, with an approach that combines traditional relevance with modern consumer expectations.
Why Is Sanatan Dharma Getting Attention?
Part of the answer lies in timing.
India's relationship with tradition is changing—not disappearing.
Young Indians are increasingly comfortable with digital commerce, modern packaging and online shopping, while at the same time remaining closely connected to festivals, family rituals and cultural practices.
This creates a fascinating opportunity.
A consumer can order groceries online, discover a new brand through social media and still sit with their family for Diwali puja in the evening.
Sanatan Dharma is positioning itself right in the middle of this changing behaviour.
Its proposition is not to change the rituals people follow.
It is to modernise the way the products behind those rituals are discovered and purchased.
From Camphor to Curated Puja Kits
The brand's portfolio includes everyday essentials such as camphor, Bhimseni camphor, cotton wicks, ghee cotton wicks, kumkum, kalawa, sindoor and Ashtagandh, along with curated kits designed around specific pujas and occasions.
The idea of curated kits is particularly relevant to today's consumer.
Instead of searching for every individual item required for a particular ritual, consumers can find products brought together for specific occasions.
It is a simple example of how traditional shopping behaviour can be made more convenient without changing the tradition itself.
The Shivek Tyagi Story
At the centre of this emerging brand is Shivek Tyagi, a young entrepreneur looking at an established category through a different lens.
Rather than entering an already crowded mainstream consumer category, Tyagi chose to build around a segment that is deeply connected to Indian households but has historically had relatively limited organised branding.
That decision reflects a broader entrepreneurial trend in India: finding opportunities not only in new technology or entirely new products, but also in categories that have existed for decades and are ready for a fresh approach.
Sanatan Dharma is still a young brand, but its ambition is considerably larger than its current footprint.
The objective is to build recognition, earn consumer trust and eventually create a household name in the puja and devotional products category.
The “New-Age” Puja Brand
Walk through a modern Indian home and you will see something interesting.
Tradition and technology now exist side by side.
A family may perform the same puja their grandparents performed, but the products for that puja can now be discovered through a smartphone.
That is the market Sanatan Dharma is entering.
The brand's identity combines traditional Indian cultural associations with contemporary packaging and digital accessibility. Its online presence allows consumers to explore its products beyond their local market.
For a category historically dependent on neighbourhood availability, this represents a significant shift.
Building a Brand, Not Just Selling Products
The real challenge for Sanatan Dharma will be building long-term trust.
Creating initial curiosity is one thing.
Becoming a brand that families repeatedly choose is another.
The company, a unit of Sara Greenworks Pvt. Ltd., is therefore looking beyond individual online sales. Its broader plans include expanding through retail stores, distributors, wholesale partnerships and digital commerce.
The ambition is to take the brand from individual households to retail shelves across India—and eventually to Indian communities around the world.
Why the Timing Could Be Right
India's consumer market is increasingly showing an appetite for brands that understand Indian culture.
From food and Ayurveda to handicrafts and traditional wellness products, entrepreneurs are discovering that heritage itself can become the foundation for modern businesses.
Sanatan Dharma is attempting a similar journey in the puja essentials category.
Its biggest advantage may be the familiarity of the products themselves.
Consumers already understand the need.
The opportunity is to give them a brand they can remember.
From Hype to Household Trust
Every emerging brand goes through a stage where curiosity turns into conversation.
Sanatan Dharma is now entering that phase.
Its combination of a young entrepreneurial vision, a culturally significant category and modern consumer positioning is attracting attention among consumers looking for more organised and accessible sources of puja essentials.
But Shivek Tyagi's larger challenge—and opportunity—is clear.
Can a new-age Indian brand become part of an age-old tradition?
If Sanatan Dharma succeeds, its journey could represent more than the growth of another consumer company.
It could demonstrate how India's oldest traditions can create opportunities for India's newest entrepreneurs.
Because the products may be traditional.
The rituals may be centuries old.
But the brand building around them is very much happening in today's India.

That decision reflects a broader entrepreneurial trend in India: finding opportunities not only in new technology or entirely new products, but also in categories that have existed for decades and are ready for a fresh approach.
Sanatan Dharma is still a young brand, but its ambition is considerably larger than its current footprint.
The objective is to build recognition, earn consumer trust and eventually create a household name in the puja and devotional products category.
The “New-Age” Puja Brand
Walk through a modern Indian home and you will see something interesting.
Tradition and technology now exist side by side.
A family may perform the same puja their grandparents performed, but the products for that puja can now be discovered through a smartphone.
That is the market Sanatan Dharma is entering.
The brand's identity combines traditional Indian cultural associations with contemporary packaging and digital accessibility. Its online presence allows consumers to explore its products beyond their local market.
For a category historically dependent on neighbourhood availability, this represents a significant shift.
Building a Brand, Not Just Selling Products
The real challenge for Sanatan Dharma will be building long-term trust.
Creating initial curiosity is one thing.
Becoming a brand that families repeatedly choose is another.
The company, a unit of Sara Greenworks Pvt. Ltd., is therefore looking beyond individual online sales. Its broader plans include expanding through retail stores, distributors, wholesale partnerships and digital commerce.
The ambition is to take the brand from individual households to retail shelves across India—and eventually to Indian communities around the world.
Why the Timing Could Be Right
India's consumer market is increasingly showing an appetite for brands that understand Indian culture.
From food and Ayurveda to handicrafts and traditional wellness products, entrepreneurs are discovering that heritage itself can become the foundation for modern businesses.
Sanatan Dharma is attempting a similar journey in the puja essentials category.
Its biggest advantage may be the familiarity of the products themselves.
Consumers already understand the need.
The opportunity is to give them a brand they can remember.
From Hype to Household Trust
Every emerging brand goes through a stage where curiosity turns into conversation.
Sanatan Dharma is now entering that phase.
Its combination of a young entrepreneurial vision, a culturally significant category and modern consumer positioning is attracting attention among consumers looking for more organised and accessible sources of puja essentials.
But Shivek Tyagi's larger challenge—and opportunity—is clear.
Can a new-age Indian brand become part of an age-old tradition?
If Sanatan Dharma succeeds, its journey could represent more than the growth of another consumer company.
It could demonstrate how India's oldest traditions can create opportunities for India's newest entrepreneurs.
Because the products may be traditional.
The rituals may be centuries old.
But the brand building around them is very much happening in today's India.

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."

पुतिन ने भारत के पूर्व CJI डीवाई चंद्रचूड़ को बनाया अपना वकील, सुलझाएंगे यूक्रेन से जुड़ा ये विवाद
#formercjichandrachudhasnowemergedasapotentialsaviorfor_putin 
रूस ने भारत के पूर्व मुख्य न्यायाधीश (सीजेआई) डीवाई चंद्रचूड़ को यूक्रेन के एक सरकारी बैंक के साथ चल रहे विवाद में अपना मध्यस्थ बनाया है। बार एंड बेंच के अनुसार, यह विवाद रूस की सैन्य कार्रवाई से प्रभावित यूक्रेनी इलाकों में बैंक की संपत्ति और कामकाज से जुड़े दावों से संबंधित है।

  


'बार एंड बेंच' की रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक 'ग्लोबल आर्बिट्रेशन रिव्यू' ने बताया है कि भारत के पूर्व मुख्य न्यायाधीश डीवाई चंद्रचूड़ एक इंटरनेशनल आर्बिट्रेशन ट्रिब्यूनल में रूस का प्रतिनिधित्व करेंगे। यह ट्रिब्यूनल यूक्रेन के सरकारी बैंक 'ओशदबैंक' की तरफ से लाए गए एक विवाद की सुनवाई कर रहा है।

  

चंद्रचूड़ की भूमिका क्या होगी?
रूस ने इस तीन सदस्यीय टीम में अपने पक्ष से जस्टिस डीवाई चंद्रचूड़ को चुना है। यानी वह इस मामले में रूस की ओर से नियुक्त मध्यस्थ होंगे। तीन सदस्यों वाले इस ट्रिब्यूनल की अध्यक्षता कोस्टा रिका की आर्बिट्रेटर और पूर्व ट्रेड मिनिस्टर दयाला जिमेनेज़ करेंगी, जिन्हें रूस और ओशादबैंक ने संयुक्त रूप से चुना था। रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, ग्रीक आर्बिट्रेटर और नेशनल यूनिवर्सिटी ऑफ़ सिंगापुर के प्रोफ़ेसर स्टावरोस ब्रेकोउलाकिस को ओशादबैंक ने ट्रिब्यूनल के तीसरे सदस्य के तौर पर नियुक्त किया है।

  

सैकड़ों करोड़ डॉलर का है विवाद
रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक यह मामला यूक्रेन के डोनेट्स्क, लुहान्स्क, खेरसॉन और जापोरिज्जिया इलाकों में 'ओशादबैंक' की संपत्ति और बिजनेस ऑपरेशन्स पर उसके दावे से जुड़ा है। बैंक का कहना है कि 2022 में रूस के बड़े पैमाने पर हमले और उसके बाद यूक्रेन में सैन्य कार्रवाई के कारण उसने ये संपत्तियां और कामकाज खो दिए। ओशचादबैंक ने रूस से हुए नुकसान की भरपाई की मांग की है। इस दावे की रकम सैकड़ों करोड़ डॉलर बताई जा रही है।

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.
