Loktej English Team — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 16:16:30 +0530

After the impressive five-wicket victory against Lucknow Super Giants, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) star batsman Virat Kohli addressed the team in the dressing room. In a video shared by RCB, Kohli praised the players for their professional demeanor and aggressive play.

He noted that the team maintained pressure on the opposition from the start of the match and that the way they countered after Phil Salt's dismissal left Lucknow with no chance to recover. With this win, RCB has recorded four victories in five matches, placing them at the top of the points table. RCB chased down the target of 147 runs in just 15.1 overs, but Kohli expressed dissatisfaction with some areas of the team's performance.

He stated that he does not like to see batting collapses and emphasized that given the start the team had, the match should have been finished with only two or three wickets lost. Kohli expressed concern over the quick wickets lost in the middle order and advised the batsmen to play more responsibly in the future. He praised Rajat Patidar's innings, highlighting that he chose the right shots under pressure, which helped the team maintain control of the match.

Kohli also expressed happiness over Romario Shepherd getting a chance to bat and finishing the match. He concluded by motivating the team, stating that every player is getting the opportunity to play their role, which is a good sign for the long tournament ahead. RCB is now prepared to maintain this momentum and discipline as they aim for the title in their upcoming matches.

Bhoot Bangla’ Paid Preview Earns Crores

Loktej English Team — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 16:15:53 +0530

The horror-comedy film ‘Bhoot Bangla’, featuring Bollywood star Akshay Kumar and directed by veteran filmmaker Priyadarshan, has made a spectacular comeback after 14 years. Released in theaters on April 17, the film created a buzz at the box office even before its release.

According to trade analyst Sacnilk, during the paid preview on April 16, the film collected approximately ₹3.50 to ₹3.75 crores net at the domestic box office. There is significant excitement among audiences to see this duo, known for delivering blockbusters like ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’, as reflected in the paid preview figures. The film has received positive feedback from audiences and critics on social media, leading to expectations of a strong opening day collection.

Experts believe that ‘Bhoot Bangla’ could collect around ₹15 crores on its first day, potentially surpassing the opening record of Akshay Kumar's previous film ‘Jolly LLB 3’ (₹12.50 crores). Despite being released in a non-holiday week, Priyadarshan's comedic style and Akshay's comic timing have generated tremendous craze for the film, resulting in large crowds in theaters. Notably, the box office is already dominated by Ranveer Singh's ‘Dhurandhar 2’, which has achieved a net collection of ₹1100 crores in India and ₹1738 crores worldwide.

However, this has not affected the earnings of ‘Bhoot Bangla’. The film's star cast includes Akshay Kumar, Vamika Gabbi, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, and Mithila Palkar. The comedic trio of Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav has once again made audiences laugh, increasing the film's chances of sustaining its run.

Donald Trump Makes Major Announcement: President May Visit Pakistan for US-Iran Peace Agreement

Loktej English Team — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 16:15:12 +0530

US President Donald Trump has stated that he may visit Pakistan if the ongoing peace talks between the US and Iran reach a solid agreement. During a discussion with reporters at the White House, Trump clarified that he is prepared to go to Islamabad if a deal is signed there.

He praised Pakistan's 'constructive role' in mediating between the US and Iran. According to Trump, Pakistani mediators have proven to be highly effective in resolving this complex conflict, leading to new dynamics in South Asian politics. President Trump also highlighted the economic benefits of a potential agreement with Iran, claiming that successful diplomacy could result in the US gaining 'free oil' and uninterrupted access to the 'Strait of Hormuz', which would drive fuel prices to record lows in the global market.

He noted that the recent drop in gas prices is an indication that diplomatic efforts are moving in the right direction. He reiterated his commitment to reducing the threat of nuclear weapons while also addressing the 'historic inflation' inherited by his country. Meanwhile, the visit of Pakistan's Army Chief General Asim Munir to Tehran is being considered a crucial part of this peace process.

Munir has met with the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament and the Foreign Minister, which is seen as preparation for the second round of 'back-channel' talks between the US and Iran. According to Qatari media reports, these talks are primarily focused on Iran's nuclear program. If this agreement materializes under Pakistan's hosting, it would not only reduce tensions in the Middle East but also prove to be a significant victory for both Trump and Pakistan in global diplomacy.

What we’re building goes beyond technique by capturing how elite athletes like Shane think, prepare, and respond under pressure, enabling Kabuni to bring that mindset to every player, anywhere in the world. It’s about giving athletes access not just to what Shane Watson would do, but how he would think in those moments. That’s a powerful unlock, and it’s where we see the future of coaching heading.”

PNN — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 16:00:11 +0530

The Bengal members, H M Bangur, Sundeep Bhutoria, Sirshendu Mukherjee, and others, at a function felicitating Goutam Ghose. Mr. Ghose has been appointed Sheriff of Kolkata

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], April 17: The Bengal, one of Kolkata’s most distinguished socio-cultural organisations, hosted a special felicitation ceremony in honour of its Working President and legendary filmmaker Mr Goutam Ghose on his appointment as Sheriff of Kolkata — and the new Sheriff used the occasion to announce an ambitious plan to recover and restore the city’s forgotten colonial history.

The evening, held at The Taj Bengal, brought together eminent members from the worlds of culture, business, and civic life to celebrate this proud milestone. The Consul Generals of USA, Germany and Australia in Kolkata attended the function.

In what is being seen as a significant cultural and historical initiative, Mr Ghose announced that he intends to use his tenure as Sheriff to undertake the restoration of rare archival documents held in the Sheriff’s office — records that have lain largely untouched since the days of the East India Company. The Sheriff’s office, established in 1774, currently holds administrative and judicial documents spanning nearly two and a half centuries. Speaking at The Bengal felicitation function, Mr Ghose said, “The present office holds administrative and judicial documents dating back to the 18th century. I’m very keen to restore these documents in collaboration with the High Court’s archive committee.”

Expressing the challenges of undertaking such a project, Mr Ghose further said, “I know it’s a very, very difficult job because they are more than 200 years old documents but I’m sure there are people who have the expertise to restore this kind of material. I am sure, if we can restore them, so many unknown facts we might find in those papers that will give students and researchers a new insight about Bengal and colonial rule.”

The Bengal members, Mr Hari Mohan Bangur and Sirshendu Mukherjee, felicitating Goutam Ghose newly appointed Sheriff of Kolkata at a function in Kolkata.

Mr Ghose said he would work closely with expert conservators and the Calcutta High Court’s archive committee to draw up a formal restoration plan. He also lauded the activities and initiatives of Pronam, a joint initiative of The Bengal and Kolkata Police for the elderly, reaching out to over 20,000 senior citizens in the city.

Mr H M Bangur, Chairman of The Bengal, said: “Goutam-da is not merely a filmmaker; he is a cultural ambassador, a storyteller of civilisations. That such a man now serves as Sheriff of our beloved Kolkata is not a surprise — it is the natural order of things.”

Mr Sundeep Bhutoria, Secretary General of The Bengal, added: “Goutam-da’s lens has always captured the heartbeat of Bengal — its rivers, its people, its longings. The Bengal is immensely proud that this honour has come to one of its most cherished members.”

The Bengal has a distinguished tradition of its members serving as Sheriff — from footballer Chuni Goswami in 2005 to literary giant Sunil Gangopadhyay in 2002. Goutam Ghose’s appointment continues this illustrious legacy.

Dr Sunil Kapoor Bhopal advocates continuous training and professional development programs that help healthcare workers remain updated with evolving technologies and treatment methods. According to him, when healthcare professionals are supported with the right tools and knowledge, they are able to deliver higher standards of patient care.

This combination of skilled professionals and modern technology creates a healthcare ecosystem capable of meeting the complex needs of patients.
Strengthening Community Health

Beyond institutional development, Dr Sunil Kapoor Bhopal places significant importance on community health and public awareness. He believes that healthcare progress should benefit the entire society, ensuring that quality medical services reach people from all backgrounds.

Dr Sunil Kapoor Bhopal often emphasizes the importance of collaborative efforts between healthcare institutions, policymakers, and community organizations. Such partnerships can play a vital role in expanding access to healthcare facilities and improving overall health outcomes.

Through his advocacy, Dr Sunil Kapoor Bhopal continues to encourage initiatives that focus on preventive healthcare, early diagnosis, and improved accessibility to medical services.

Preparing for Tomorrow’s Healthcare Challenges

The Manatomy Develops AI System to Personalize How Men See Fashion and Let Users See Themselves in Personalized Outfits

PNN — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 22:00:05 +0530

Gurugram (Haryana) [India], April 16: Gurgaon-based men’s fashion brand The Manatomy has announced the filing of a patent for its AI-driven styling technology, as it introduces a platform designed to help users visualize themselves in personalized outfit combinations. The development marks a step toward more immersive and individualized fashion experiences, where consumers can move beyond static product browsing to more contextual, self-relevant discovery.

Founded by Ankit Sharma and co-founded by Jatin Goyal, The Manatomy’s platform focuses on a key limitation in online fashion retail: the inability for users to accurately imagine how a product will look on them. While traditional e-commerce relies heavily on model images and generic size guides, the company’s AI system aims to make the experience more personal by placing the user at the center of the journey.

The technology analyzes a user’s facial features, skin tone, hair color, and overall appearance, and combines this data with clothing attributes to generate personalized outfit visualizations. The result is a more intuitive way for users to understand not just what is available, but what is likely to suit them.

“One of the biggest gaps in online fashion is visualization,” said Ankit Sharma, Founder of The Manatomy. “People don’t just want to see clothes—they want to see how those clothes look on them. Our AI is designed to make that possible in a simple and accessible way.”

AI That Brings Personalization Closer to Reality

The platform is accessible at: ai.themanatomy.com

Users can upload a front-facing image, after which the system processes the input and generates personalized outfit suggestions, along with visual references tailored to their profile. The experience is designed to be fast and intuitive, requiring minimal steps while delivering results that are directly relevant to the individual.

By focusing on “self-visualization,” the platform introduces a different approach to personalization—one that goes beyond recommendations and moves toward representation. This shift aligns with broader advancements in artificial intelligence, where systems are increasingly capable of adapting outputs to reflect individual users rather than generic segments.

Integrated with Premium Clothing and Accessories

Alongside its technological capabilities, the platform is integrated with The Manatomy’s range of premium men’s clothing and accessories. Users can explore outfit combinations that are not only personalized but also directly linked to the brand’s catalog, enabling a seamless transition from visualization to purchase.

The Manatomy offers a curated selection of shirts, trousers, footwear, and accessories, all designed with a focus on quality craftsmanship, fit, and modern styling. By connecting AI-generated insights with real products, the company aims to create a cohesive experience that bridges inspiration and action.

Redefining the Online Fashion Experience

The introduction of AI-based self-visualization reflects a broader evolution in how consumers engage with fashion online. As expectations shift toward more interactive and personalized experiences, brands are exploring ways to make digital shopping more intuitive and reliable.

The Manatomy’s platform positions itself within this shift by addressing both discovery and confidence—two factors that significantly influence purchase decisions. By enabling users to see themselves in recommended outfits, the platform aims to reduce uncertainty and improve satisfaction.

The Manatomy confirmed that it has filed a patent related to its AI styling and visualization system. While details of the filing remain undisclosed, the move reflects the company’s intent to develop and protect proprietary technology in the emerging space of AI-driven fashion experiences.

The patent filing underscores a growing trend among technology-led consumer brands to build defensible innovation alongside product offerings. In fashion, where differentiation has traditionally relied on design and branding, AI is opening new avenues for competitive advantage through user experience and personalization.

Co-founder Jatin Goyal noted that the company views technology as a long-term capability rather than a short-term feature.

“We are investing in building systems that can evolve with the user,” he said. “Filing a patent is part of our effort to create a strong foundation for innovation in this space.”

Looking Ahead

As the role of artificial intelligence in retail continues to expand, platforms that combine personalization with practical usability are expected to gain traction. The Manatomy’s approach highlights how AI can be applied not just to optimize operations, but to enhance the end-user experience in meaningful ways.

The company plans to further develop its technology, with ongoing improvements in accuracy, personalization depth, and visual output. The patent filing signals a commitment to building long-term capabilities in this space, as the brand continues to explore the intersection of fashion and intelligent systems

About The Manatomy

The Manatomy is a Gurgaon-based men’s fashion brand offering premium clothing and accessories. With a focus on quality, design, and innovation, the company is expanding into AI-driven solutions aimed at delivering more personalized and immersive shopping experiences.

From Medicine to Marketing, Architecture to Advertising: A Diverse Cohort Graduates from MICA 2026

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], April 14: MICA – The School of Ideas, India’s premier institute for Strategic Marketing and Communication, hosted its 31st Convocation Ceremony, marking the graduation of 255 students across its flagship programmes—PGDMC, PGDM, CCC, and FPM. The ceremony was a celebration not only of academic achievement and industry recognition, but also of the unique, deeply personal journeys that shaped this graduating cohort.

The Class of 2026 represents a new generation of professionals who are not defined by conventional paths, but by their willingness to explore, adapt, and innovate. From medicine to marketing, architecture to storytelling, and shared journeys to individual growth, these students exemplify the spirit of MICA—where creativity meets purpose.

Beyond academic excellence, the Class of 2026 stood out for its diversity of backgrounds and transformative journeys.

Among them were twins Aditi Jain and Aditya Jain, whose shared academic history evolved into distinct professional paths at MICA—one exploring advertising and the other fintech. Their journey reflects the institute’s ability to foster individuality even within shared experiences, offering both familiarity and independence.

Dr. Dhruvam Ujjaval Nanavati, a trained medical professional, made the unconventional transition from medicine to marketing. His experience at MICA enabled him to embrace ambiguity, challenge perspectives, and apply his analytical rigor in new contexts, ultimately securing a role within the pharmaceutical industry.

For Moksh Malhotra, MICA was a space to explore multiple dimensions of growth—from contributing to the Placement Committee to performing with the theatre society, Sankalp. His journey highlighted the importance of time management, collaboration, and continuous learning in a high-intensity environment.

Yashasvi Shukla’s journey from Life Sciences to marketing highlights the strength of interdisciplinary thinking. Bringing a scientific mindset rooted in observation and analysis, she found at MICA that marketing was an extension of understanding human behaviour. Engaging in collaborative learning on campus, she demonstrated how diverse backgrounds can offer fresh, insightful approaches to marketing challenges.

Sanya Sethi’s transition from architecture to marketing storytelling exemplifies interdisciplinary evolution. At MICA, she expanded her understanding of human-centered design into the realm of perception and narrative, culminating in a pre-placement offer from IBM following her internship in ecosystem marketing.

The convocation was graced by Sushant Dash, CEO of Tata Starbucks Pvt. Ltd., who delivered an inspiring keynote address centered on the theme “Sparks of Excellence.” Emphasizing the importance of discipline, purpose, and sound judgment in an AI-driven world, he encouraged graduates to focus on long-term character over short-term brilliance.

Director & CEO Jaya Deshmukh outlined the institute’s future vision through the MICA Lens, anchored in five pillars—Creativity, Culture, Communication, Commerce, and Community—reaffirming MICA’s commitment to nurturing creative leaders equipped for a rapidly evolving landscape.

MICA continued to witness robust industry confidence in the Class of 2026, with over 130 companies participating in final placements and the highest CTC reaching ₹45.67 LPA (offered by Google). The summer internship process saw 229 students placed across 97 companies, marking a 31% increase in recruiter participation.

Preventive Health Checkups vs Diagnostic Tests: What Does Your Family Policy Pay For?

PNN — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 20:00:08 +0530

New Delhi [India], April 16: Many people expect every medical test to be covered, but insurers usually decide based on why the test was done. Preventive health check-ups are routine screenings done when you feel fine, while diagnostic tests are done to confirm a problem or guide treatment.

A health insurance policy for a family may cover both, but often under different terms and conditions. In this article, you will learn what is typically paid for, what may be excluded, and how to avoid surprises at claim time.

Preventive Checkup vs. Diagnostic Test: The Simple Difference

A preventive health check-up is something you plan, even when you feel healthy. You do it to catch early warning signs, like routine screenings or an annual health package.

A diagnostic test is different. It happens when there is a symptom or a concern, and your doctor orders tests to find the reason, confirm a condition, or monitor recovery.

This difference matters because insurance usually covers diagnostic tests more easily than preventive tests, unless your policy clearly includes a preventive check-up benefit.

What Family Policies Usually Pay for

Most family plans mainly cover hospital stays. So, tests are usually covered best when they are connected to a hospital admission or a treatment that the policy covers.

Your policy is more likely to pay for tests when:

They are part of a hospitalisation bill during treatment.
They are done just before admission, and your plan allows pre-hospitalisation expenses for the same illness.
They are done after discharge, and your plan allows post-hospitalisation expenses for the same claim.
They are connected to a covered daycare procedure, where admission is not required, but the procedure is covered.

When people compare the best health insurance in India, they often focus on sum insured and cashless hospitals. Test coverage rules are equally important because they affect daily out-of-pocket spending.

How Preventive Checkups are Usually Covered

Preventive health checkups are typically offered as a wellness benefit. This benefit may be included in some plans or offered under specific conditions. In many policies, it is not the main promise of the plan, so you need to read the benefit wording carefully.

In simple terms, preventive checkup cover usually works like this:

It may be available only after you complete a certain period with the policy.
It may have a defined process, such as using a partner centre or following an insurer-led booking method.
You may need to submit invoices and reports, even if the amount is small.
The benefit may cover only certain tests or packages, as described in the policy terms.

When are Diagnostic Tests Usually Covered

Diagnostic tests are more likely to be paid for when they are medically necessary and clearly connected to treatment. The link to a doctor’s advice and to a covered illness is what strengthens your case.

Here is how it typically plays out in real life.

Before admission: If your plan covers pre-hospitalisation expenses, tests can be payable when they are prescribed, and the hospital admission happens for the same condition.
During admission, Tests done in the hospital are usually easier to settle because they are part of the inpatient bill and treatment notes.
After discharge: If your plan covers post-hospitalisation expenses, follow-up tests may be payable when they are part of recovery or monitoring for the same claim.

OPD tests are handled differently. If you are not admitted to a hospital and your policy does not include OPD cover, the insurer may not pay for those tests, even if your doctor suggested them. That is why you should check whether your family plan covers only hospital stays or also outpatient expenses.

Final Thoughts

Preventive checkups and diagnostic tests may look similar on a lab bill, but insurance treats them differently. Preventive tests are usually covered only if your plan offers a wellness benefit, and you follow its rules.

Diagnostic tests are more likely to be covered when they are prescribed and tied to treatment, especially around hospitalisation. If you understand this clearly, your health insurance policy for your family becomes easier to use, and you avoid unpleasant surprises.

GV Sanjay Reddy Breaks It Down: Where India’s Solar Targets Stand in 2026

PNN — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 20:00:07 +0530

By: GV Sanjay Reddy, Vice Chairman, GVK Power & Infrastructure Ltd

New Delhi [India], April 15: Energy is the invisible engine behind modern life, powering everything from the hospitals that save lives to the devices that keep us connected. As global populations rise and technology becomes more integrated into our daily routines, our hunger for electricity is reaching unprecedented levels.

To meet this surging demand without destroying our environment, we must shift toward sustainable solutions like solar power. By capturing the sun’s inexhaustible energy, we can produce clean, reliable electricity that reduces our reliance on fossil fuels. Solar isn’t just an alternative; it is the most scalable answer to our growing energy needs, offering a way to power the future while protecting the planet.

To understand how these shifts are shaping India’s energy demands, let’s get insights from G.V. Sanjay Reddy, Vice Chairman of the GVK conglomerate.

India’s solar journey has evolved from an ambitious vision into a global benchmark, with the nation now ranked 3rd globally in solar power capacity as of 2025. To reach the overarching goal of 500 GW of non-fossil capacity by 2030, with solar expected to contribute 280 GW of that total, the government is executing several large-scale initiatives.

The PM Surya Ghar: MuftBijliYojana, launched in early 2024, aims to solarise 10 million households, providing up to 300 units of free electricity monthly; by December 2025, over 2.3 million households had already adopted rooftop solar under this scheme.

Simultaneously, the PM-KUSUM scheme empowers farmers to become “energy producers” by installing solar pumps and small grid-connected plants on barren land, with over 2 million agricultural pumps solarised as of early 2026.

GV Sanjay Reddy believes, “Farmers have always been the backbone of our nation, tilling the earth to feed our people; today, they are becoming the heartbeat of our energy future. By transforming from traditional consumers into ‘Urjadatas’ (energy producers), our farmers are now harvesting the sun to power our progress.”

“This shift does more than just provide clean electricity, it guarantees energy security for the rural landscape, turns barren land into a source of steady income, and ensures that the hands that feed us are the same hands that power a sustainable, self-reliant India,” he adds.

On a larger scale, India demonstrates utility-scale dominance by hosting massive clusters like the Bhadla Solar Park in Rajasthan, with 55 sanctioned solar parks totaling nearly 40 GW at various implementation stages across 13 states.

Supporting this is a push for manufacturing self-reliance through the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, which saw solar module capacity skyrocket from 2.3 GW in 2014 to roughly 144 GW per annum by 2025.

Looking ahead, India is already setting its sights on a long-term goal of 1,800 GW of non-fossil capacity by 2047, while currently focusing on the 2030 target.

Despite this momentum, challenges remain in grid integration and storage, leading to a strategic pivot toward Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and Green Hydrogen to ensure a stable, 24/7 clean energy supply as the nation marches toward its ultimate Net Zero goal by 2070.

GV Sanjay Reddy says, “While the path to a clean energy future is steep and filled with the challenges of modernizing our grids and storing the sun’s power, we are undeniably moving in the right direction. Every solar panel installed and every household energized is a testament to our collective resolve.”

These hurdles are not roadblocks, but rather the stepping stones of innovation that are refining India’s journey. With unwavering momentum and a clear vision, yesterday’s ambitions can turn into today’s reality, proving that an India powered by the sun is not just a dream, but an inevitable and brilliant horizon.

Why Shiprocket Is Good in Betting India’s D2C Growth Will Be Won at Checkout

PNN — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 20:00:06 +0530

New Delhi [India], April 16: Customer acquisition costs for Indian D2C brands have tripled since 2021. Conversion rates, however, remain flat. The gap points to a familiar but overlooked problem: what happens after a customer clicks “Add to Cart.”

For years, checkout was treated as a technical step. Today is the decisive moment when intent either becomes revenue or quietly disappears. Shiprocket, one of India’s largest commerce enablement platforms, is positioning its checkout infrastructure as the answer. But the larger story is not about one company. It is about a sector-wide shift in how growth is defined.

The funnel has a leak

The standard e-commerce journey looks simple: visit, cart, checkout, payment. In practice, each stage introduces small points of hesitation. A final price that surprises. A delivery estimate that feels uncertain. A form that asks for information a mobile user does not have handy. A payment that fails after multiple attempts.

Research from the Baymard Institute puts global cart abandonment at around 70 per cent. In India, where payment reliability, device diversity, and trust gaps add friction, real-world drop-offs are often higher. Many brands invest heavily in acquiring traffic, then send those users into checkout experiences that load slowly, request too much information, or break under peak load. Revenue does not vanish at the ad. It leaks at the last click.

A better way to view the journey

Fixing this requires seeing checkout not as a single page but as a connected system. Industry observers are starting to break it into three layers.

First, the intent layer. This is where a buyer moves from interest to consideration. Unclear pricing, hidden fees, or vague return policies create doubt at the exact moment a decision is being made. A well-structured cart reinforces value, reduces uncertainty, and builds momentum.

Second, the friction layer. Once intent is set, any obstacle can derail the process. Multi-step flows, long forms, and slow load times disrupt the buying rhythm. Streamlining these into single-page experiences with pre-filled data and contextual logic removes reasons to abandon.

Third, the reliability layer. In India, this is especially complex. UPI has made payments faster, but not always dependable. Bank downtimes, OTP delays, and network issues can interrupt transactions at the final step. When a payment fails, buyers do not just face inconvenience. They question whether their money is safe, whether the order went through, and whether to try again. Many choose not to.

How infrastructure is adapting

This is where commerce platforms are evolving. The focus is shifting from simply processing transactions to optimising the entire conversion path. Address validation, smart discount handling, and unified payment orchestration that retries failed transactions or offers fallback methods are becoming standard.

Shiprocket Checkout, which supports checkout flows for more than 145,000 merchants across 19,000 pin codes, has introduced changes aligned with this shift. Its approach collapses multi-step checkouts, pre-validates addresses, and supports multiple payment methods, including UPI, cards, wallets, and cash on delivery. For repeat buyers, saved payment details reduce the need for repeated entry. Aggregated data from its merchant network suggests that brands using unified checkout infrastructure see reductions of up to 30 per cent in RTOs and conversion rates up to 60 per cent higher. The business impact is direct: fewer lost sales and better margin protection through reduced dependence on cash-on-delivery.

The growth equation is changing

As performance marketing costs rise, the logic of D2C growth is flipping. Acquiring more traffic is getting harder and more expensive. Converting more of the traffic already arriving is the higher-leverage move.

India’s e-commerce market is projected to reach 325 billion dollars by 2030, according to IBEF. The brands that capture meaningful share will not necessarily be those with the largest ad budgets. They will be the ones that lose the fewest buyers at the moment; those buyers are ready to pay. Checkout is no longer a technical detail to delegate. It is a strategic priority that belongs in the same conversation as media planning, creative direction, and customer retention.

The last click decides

Customers are not lost at the start of the journey. They are lost when they are ready to buy. For D2C brands focused on sustainable growth, the solution is not more traffic. It is a faster, more reliable, and more intelligent path from intent to transaction.

Shiprocket’s checkout push reflects a broader truth: brands that treat checkout as a system, not a step, will stop leaking revenue at the last click. That shift is no longer optional. It is the new baseline for Indian e-commerce.

Raga, Rashtra & Responsibility: Dr. Harvansh Chawla’s Book Co-authored by Karina Chawla & Ojjus Chawla Launched Today

PNN — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 20:00:05 +0530

New Delhi [India], April 16: In a setting that reflected both the evolving times and the enduring power of ideas, the latest book by Dr. Harvansh Chawla, co-authored by Karina Chawla and Ojjus Chawla, was formally unveiled through a virtual launch on 16th April 2026.

While the format was digital, the occasion carried the same depth, dignity, and intellectual engagement that one associates with a gathering of distinguished minds.

The launch was streamed live on YouTube and Instagram, allowing audiences from across geographies to be part of the moment. What was particularly heartening was the spontaneous engagement from viewers—messages of appreciation, reflections, and thoughtful questions flowed in real time, lending the virtual gathering a sense of immediacy and shared participation, almost as if the audience were present in a physical auditorium.

At the heart of the discussion was the recognition that this book is not a solitary effort, but a collaborative expression shaped by Dr. Harvansh Chawla, Karina Chawla, and Ojjus Chawla—each contributing to a work that brings together experience, structure, and thoughtful execution.

Renowned poet, satirist, and Padma Shri awardee Ashok Chakradhar reflected on this collective effort with characteristic insight, noting,

“This is not a book that has simply been written; it has been lived and shaped through experience. What stands out is the clarity of thought and the sincerity of purpose that Dr. Harvansh Chawla brings, supported seamlessly by Karina Chawla and Ojjus Chawla, whose contribution ensures that these ideas reach the reader with both structure and impact.”

Adding a cultural and philosophical dimension, Sangeet Natak Akademi awardee and eminent Hindustani classical flautist of the Banaras Gharana, Pandit Rajendra Prasanna, observed,
“There is a certain musicality in the way this work unfolds—layered, balanced, and deeply rooted. One can sense not just the intellectual depth of Dr. Harvansh Chawla, but also the careful crafting by Karina Chawla and Ojjus Chawla, who have helped translate thought into a form that resonates.”

From the perspective of law and public life, Justice Iqbal Ahmed Ansari, former Chief Justice of the Patna High Court and former Chairperson of the Punjab State Human Rights Commission, highlighted the substance and discipline underlying the work. He remarked,
“This book reflects a rare combination of intellectual rigour and social sensitivity. Dr. Harvansh Chawla’s understanding of law, governance, and society is evident throughout, while the contribution of Karina Chawla and Ojjus Chawla ensures that these ideas are presented with clarity, coherence, and accessibility.”

Bringing a spiritual and humanistic lens, Msgr. Fr. J. Carvalho, Director, Agnel Charities, spoke of the deeper intent behind the work, stating,
“What makes this book meaningful is not just its intellectual content, but its spirit. It reflects a sincere effort to contribute to society. The collaboration between Dr. Harvansh Chawla, Karina Chawla, and Ojjus Chawla brings together wisdom, dedication, and purpose in a way that is both inspiring and reassuring.”

Reflecting on the depth and collaborative strength of the work, Ashok Singh, Vice Chairman, BRICS CCI, remarked,
“What makes this book truly compelling is the clarity of thought and the sincerity of its intent. Dr. Harvansh Chawla brings a rare ability to connect ideas across culture, governance, and society, while the contribution of Karina Chawla and Ojjus Chawla ensures that these ideas are shaped with structure, balance, and purpose. Together, they have created a work that is not only intellectually engaging but also deeply relevant to the times we live in.”

Across these reflections, a common thread emerged: the recognition that the book draws its strength not only from its themes but from the integrity and intent of those who have brought it to life.

In his address, Dr. Harvansh Chawla spoke with humility about the journey behind the work, sharing,
“This book is a culmination of thoughts shaped over time, an attempt to contribute meaningfully to conversations that matter. I am grateful for the collaboration and shared commitment that made this possible, especially to Karina Chawla and Ojjus Chawla for their research and clarity of thought. I am grateful to my parents, Late Shri Kuldip Rai Chawla Ji and my mother Smt Kumud Chawla Ji, for providing me with the best of education and life values, and for encouraging me always to aspire for better and to continue to evolve in life.”

The book engages with themes that lie at the intersection of culture, governance, public thought, and the spirit of Raga, Rashtra, and Responsibility, offering readers a perspective that is both reflective and relevant. Its strength lies in its ability to invite engagement rather than impose conclusions, making it accessible to a wide and diverse audience.

While the launch was conducted in a virtual format, the resonance of the occasion extended far beyond the screen. It marked not just the release of a publication, but the beginning of a larger journey—one where ideas will travel, conversations will evolve, and the work will find its place in ongoing discourse.

The book has been published by BR Rhythms, New Delhi, a publisher specializing in supporting meaningful and culturally rooted publications.

On this occasion, Dr. Harvansh Chawla’s website www.drharvanshchawla.com was also officially launched, creating a dedicated digital platform to bring together his work, ideas, and initiatives.

The website serves as a comprehensive space that reflects Dr. Chawla’s multidimensional journey—spanning legal practice, international engagement, cultural initiatives, and thought leadership. It is designed not only as a repository of his work but as a platform for continued dialogue on issues related to culture, governance, and societal responsibility.

Chennai Super Kings Approaches BCCI Against RCB

Loktej English Team — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 18:52:34 +0530

Chennai, April 15. The on-field battle between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) has now reached the BCCI's doorstep.

CSK has raised strong objections to songs like 'Dosa, Idli, Sambar, Chutney' played by RCB's DJ during the match on April 5 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Chennai alleges that this was not only a conservative mockery of South Indian culture but also a calculated attempt to belittle the opposing team's players.

A senior IPL official has confirmed that the governing council is seriously investigating the matter. CSK's Managing Director, Kashi Vishwanathan, clarified the seriousness of the issue, stating that the DJ's main job is to boost the home team's morale, but the situation in Bengaluru was the opposite. There are also allegations that derogatory comments were made through the public address system when CSK players were dismissed.

According to Vishwanathan, they have written to the BCCI requesting an investigation to maintain sportsmanship. Previously, a similar song was played at Chennai's Chepauk Stadium, but at that time, CSK management had given strict instructions to their DJ to avoid such activities. The rivalry between Chennai and Bengaluru, referred to as the 'Southern Derby,' has become quite aggressive recently.

Since 2024, RCB has defeated Chennai in four consecutive matches, escalating tensions between fans and management off the field. Franchise officials believe that the atmosphere on the field should be positive and not mock the opposing team. It remains to be seen what disciplinary action the BCCI will take against RCB in this matter and what new guidelines will be issued for DJs and commentators for upcoming matches.

Salman Khan's Stance on 'Matrubhumi' Clear, Denies OTT Release

Loktej English Team — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 18:51:00 +0530

Speculations regarding Salman Khan's upcoming film 'Matrubhumi' have been put to rest. Recent reports suggested that the film might be released directly on an OTT platform, but the makers have clarified that it will be presented to audiences on the big screen.

According to sources associated with the film, 'Matrubhumi' has been prepared on a grand scale with the theatrical experience in mind. Both Salman Khan and director Apoorva Lakhia are in favor of releasing the film in theaters. Although there may be delays in the film's release, there are currently no plans to bring it to OTT.

Reports indicate that the film has not yet been sent to the censor board for certification. Initially inspired by a true event, the story underwent some changes following objections from the Ministry of Defence, which advised the removal of direct references to China and the Galwan Valley, leading the producers to reshoot certain parts.

Surat: How to Choose a Career After 10th-12th? Experts Provided Important Guidance to Students in Surat

Loktej English Team — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 18:49:56 +0530

A career guidance festival was organized by the Southern Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Surat to provide students with the right career direction. A special session was held on April 14, 2026, at Samriddhi, Nanpura, where expert faculty guided students on career options available after 10th and 12th grades.

Professors associated with Veer Narmad South Gujarat University, including Dr. Poorti Kothari, Vishal Mashruwala, Dr. Nitin Patel, Sumit Dhamani, Dr.

Nehal Shah, and Dr. Manisha Verma, addressed students and parents. The experts stated that the period after 10th and 12th grades is the most crucial turning point in students' lives, where the right decisions determine the future direction.

They emphasized that many students make wrong choices due to a lack of proper information, making the role of parents and teachers, along with professional counseling, extremely important. The session also highlighted the growing opportunities in emerging fields such as Information Technology, Digital Media, Data Analytics, Management, and Creative Industries. The experts advised students to choose careers considering their interests, abilities, and market demand.

The professors clarified that merely obtaining a degree is not enough; communication skills, problem-solving abilities, and practical knowledge are equally important. They encouraged students to stay updated with new technologies and adopt a mindset of lifelong learning.

At the beginning of the program, Mahesh Pamnani, Chairman of the Education and Skill Development Center, delivered a welcome speech. In the concluding question-and-answer session, students had their career-related queries addressed.
