What makes this move noteworthy is its alignment with BVG’s existing capabilities. The company already works deeply within hospitals, medical institutes, and public health emergency systems across several states. Its operational experience in hygiene management, ICU cleaning protocols, medical waste handling, and patient-assistance staffing places it in a position to extend into long-term elder-care environments, which require consistent standards and regulated service delivery.

The proposed expansion focuses on Tier-2 cities, where demand for organised senior living is rising alongside changing family structures and growing middle-class affordability. Tier-2 markets also offer lower real-estate pressures and longer-term scalability for projects of this nature. The development appears in the company’s ongoing disclosures related to its IPO process, indicating a strategic shift into an area driven by strong demographic tailwinds.

The senior living initiative also ties into broader consumption and social trends: dual-income families, rising life expectancy, and a shift toward formal care solutions. While India’s senior-care landscape remains largely fragmented and under-penetrated, the emergence of larger organised operators signals a sector that may see accelerated formalisation over the next decade.

For BVG, which has diversified recently into areas such as emergency services technology platforms, renewable-energy services, and food solutions, the development points to a wider strategy of building businesses with long-term, predictable demand and deeper engagement with institutional and community ecosystems.

Thoughtful layouts, pure air, balanced light, and wellness zones come together with guided programmes and community spaces that fuel the body, restore the mind, and lift the spirit. Gera’s WellnessCentric HomesTM reimagine modern living by integrating wellness into both design and daily life. The concept moves beyond merely amenities and is anchored in wellness design, wellness amenities, and expert-led services to deliver measurable wellness outcomes: better sleep, more daylight, and mindful movement,  bringing thought and rigour to what was once an intangible lifestyle goal.

Residents will have access to yoga and Pilates sessions, aqua aerobics, nutrition consultations, personal fitness coaching, and community wellness initiatives delivered through partnerships with wellness experts.

Rohit Gera, Managing Director, Gera Developments, said: “From ChildCentric® to WellnessCentric HomesTM, Gera Developments continues its journey of transforming homes from static spaces to intuitive ecosystems that enable residents to thrive. In today’s fast-paced life, work has followed us home. Time for ourselves has shrunk. And while wellness continues to be desired, it is rarely sustained. We call this wellness inertia, and we set out to enable consumers to overcome it by creating an environment where pursuing a wellness lifestyle feels natural and effortless.

Gera’s WellnessCentric HomesTM are designed around measurable outcomes from better sleep to balanced living and supported by a service ecosystem that integrates design, science, and lifestyle management. At the heart of it lies our vision of enabling residents to live unstoppable.”

At the heart of the project lies the proprietary ‘3-tier Habit Infrastructure’, a framework that helps residents adopt and sustain wellness through:

Nudge – prompting healthy habits through design

Support – continuous expert guidance and community programmes

Sustain – flexible, personalised plans that encourage lifelong wellness

Adding resonance to this vision, Gera Developments announced Hrithik Roshan as the brand ambassador for Gera’s WellnessCentric HomesTM. Known for his discipline, balance, and commitment to holistic fitness, Roshan perfectly mirrors the philosophy of the concept.

Actor and Gera Wellness Centric Homes brand ambassador Hrithik Roshan shares, “At the end of the day, we all are aspiring to enhance the quality of life for ourselves and our loved ones. Gera has put wellness at the epicentre of design, and that’s what makes the WellnessCentric HomesTM such a masterpiece. They represent the future of living, spaces that inspire balance, mindfulness, and purpose every day. I wholeheartedly endorse their vision and I’m proud to represent a brand that is changing how we experience our home & everyday life.”

Speaking about the partnership, Rohit Gera said, “Hrithik’s association with Gera’s WellnessCentric HomesTM goes far beyond celebrity endorsement. His discipline, commitment to fitness, and belief in balance reflect the very philosophy we’ve built into these homes. He embodies the idea that wellness isn’t an act, but a way of life, and that alignment makes this partnership truly meaningful.”

Through Gera’s WellnessCentric HomesTM, the company extends its vision of innovation and customer-first thinking, envisioning homes not just as places to live, but as dynamic environments that support healthier, happier, and more connected lives.

NEW DELHI: The 9th edition of the prestigious JK Tyre-Constitution Club of India Car Rally for Parliamentarians was flagged off today from the Constitution Club of India (CCI) premises in New Delhi. The event was graced by the Chief Guest, Shri Kiren Rijiju, Hon’ble Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Minister of Minority Affairs, along with the Guest of Honour, Anshuman Singhania, Managing Director of JK Tyre & Industries, and other distinguished dignitaries.

Since its inception in 2010, the CCI Rally has established itself as a significant platform promoting road safety. This unique initiative brings together policymakers in a collective effort to raise awareness about responsible driving. This year, over 50 parliamentarians, including Mr. Anurag Thakur, Mr. Nishikant Dubey Mr. Rajiv Pratap Rudy, and other Members of Parliament along with invited bureaucrats, senior journalists, and teams of armed forces participated in the rally in their cars, reaffirming their dedication to safer roads while paying homage parliamentarians who tragically lost their lives in road accidents.

To further support this endeavor, the rally route included a stop at the Traffic Park, where participants revisited the fundamental driving rules and tested their knowledge of road safety signs. This interactive activity enhanced the overall experience and reinforced the importance of safe driving. The grandeur of the event was further elevated by the stunning display of classic and vintage cars, captivating attendees with their timeless charm.

The motto of the Car rally is “Road Safety”. On this occasion, we remember our distinguished Members of Parliament whom we lost in road accidents. Some of the prominent names include Former President of India Shri Giani Zail Singh, Union Minister Shri Rajesh Pilot, Union Minister & CM Shri Sahib Singh Verma, Union Minister Shri Yerrannaidu, MP Shri S.P. Muthukumaran, MP Shri Shrikant Jichkar, MP Shri Mahendra Singh Bhati and MP Shri Dayanand Sahay, Union Minister Shri Gopinath Munde, MP Shri Nandamuri Harikrishna, MP S Rajendran and many others.

India has the second largest road network in the world ranging from most modern highways stretching down to narrow, unpaved roads. Roads are the easiest way to access any part of the country. Significantly, our politicians spend a major part of their lives traveling for election campaigns, meeting people in their respective constituencies, or accessing their workplaces. However, the pressure of time, exhaustive working hours, and early morning to late night traveling make them more vulnerable to fatalities on the road. We have lost several Parliamentarians and Ministers in the course of road accidents.

Shri Kiren Rijiju, Hon’ble Minister expressed his concern about road accidents and shared his views that these types of rallies are essential to create awareness & promote road safety not only for members in particular but the people of the Country in general.

Anshuman Singhania, Managing Director, JK Tyre, said, “The JK Tyre-CCI Rally exemplifies our shared commitment to promoting safe and responsible driving. Road safety is not just about following rules — it is about saving lives. With the expanding network of Indian roads and national highways, the need to reinforce the message of road safety has become even more critical and we at JK Tyre have been dedicated to this cause for over three decades. Through awareness campaigns and product innovations, we remain dedicated to making our roads safer and advocating for road discipline as both responsible citizens and industry leaders.”

Shri Rajiv Pratap Rudy, Secretary, CCI also expressed his concern about the road accidents. Ministry has taken multi-pronged efforts for strengthening automobile safety standards, improving the road infrastructure, and other major initiatives under the vision of our Hon’ble Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi, and Hon’ble Minister of Road Transport & Highways Shri Nitin Gadkari.

Some of the most common reasons are found to be speeding, use of mobile phones, riding without helmets and driving without seat belts and accessing highways at unauthorized points, roads & pedestrian crossings, etc.

Shri Rudy also recalled the message of the Hon. Prime Minister on Road Accidents in “Mann Ki Baat” where the Hon’ble Prime Minister has very deeply raised the tragedy caused by road accidents.

This alarming trend of road accidents and casualties has increased the severity and the spiraling road accident numbers bring to the fore the urgency and the need to enhance awareness among the masses of this country.

It is for this very same reason that Constitution Club of India in partnership with JK Tyre has taken this initiative to ensure a campaign to save lives so that the country can reap its economic dividends also.

The JK Tyre-CCI Rally followed a carefully planned route through the capital’s iconic landmarks, amplifying the crucial message of road safety. Participants competed in the TSD (Time, Speed, Distance) format, which focuses on precision rather than speed to encourage disciplined driving. Each team comprised a driver and a navigator, with the navigator responsible for following route instructions, calculating average speeds, and ensuring the team remained on schedule, as any deviation resulted in penalty points. With specified times and speeds set within legal limits, the FMSCI-compliant rally tested participants’ navigational skills while ensuring adherence to traffic norms.

The noble cause of road safety was supported by J K Tyre, IOCL, GAIL, Union Bank of India, Patanjali Ayurved Limited, Petronet LNG Limited, Numaligarh Refinery Ltd, NBCC, BPCL and Airports Authority of India.

The event will conclude with a grand prize distribution ceremony later in the evening at the Constitution Club of India, where the winners will be felicitated by Shri Om Birla, Hon’ble Speaker of Lok Sabha, and Anshuman Singhania.

Unearthing Human Nature

Vedanta is a science which deals with human beings. An encyclopedia that has the compilation of subtlest thoughts related to the human relationship with the Transcendental Self. Rendered by, several enlightened sages of India. These great people dedicated their lives thousands of years ago to reflect upon the mystery of human origin, purpose of living, and constitution of human inner nature. The effort of such crystalline contemplation culminated in the Vedanta philosophy, which decoded the apogee of happiness. Present-day humans are disconnected from their roots and live in ignorance about this state of Bliss.

The Labyrinth

Today, the world over alma maters and mushrooming educational institutions are priming students with a lot of data. No doubt valuable to earn wealth and mark the material progress of nations. But limit the young in their rational approach and application of the knowledge provided. Very few truly implement the knowledge gained. The rest just follow a beaten pattern to work. Consequently, the young become victims of contemporaneity pressure. Affliction arises out of work culture and impending personal perils caused by a lack of clarity in balancing their work and professional lives.

The Unrestrained Mind, the Ignorance of Intellect

The youth are unaware of Vedantic education. People hence find themselves tormented by the pernicious traits of an ungoverned mind. The lack of higher values in present-day education has made humans weak. They find challenges in life difficult to handle, mostly, amongst well-educated and the rich. Depression and stress-related ailments have risen to alarming proportions. Divorce has reached record-breaking numbers worldwide. The human mind turns malignant when left unattended to make decisions by itself in the absence of the intellect. As a result, greed has led to decadence in society. Humans have turned greedy to amass ill-gained wealth and devour millions, billions, without paying any heed to others living juxtaposed in denial. Ultimately, the greedy only find themselves isolated and lonely.

The Problem Lies Elsewhere

Knowledge gained from universities has no doubt raised the standard of human living and made people wealthy and indulgent. But are they happy? By their admission, people have lost their morals, peace, and cheer. The standard of life has deteriorated to a substantial level.

The lack of Vedantic knowledge also makes it difficult for individuals to unravel one’s true aptitude. As a result, few flourish in their natural field of work. Others experience work as a burden, instead of finding it a source of pleasure and joy. Vedanta brings in clarity to discover one’s aptitude and subsequently identify a suitable field of work. One then finds success by employing the right technique of action guided by the intellect. When work becomes a pleasure, so does the working environment.

Live to Give

Giving should be preceded by thinking. Take a look at the charity structure in the world. Ideally, it should be the confluence of feeling and thinking to give society punctiliously. A true philanthropist will initiate research if wealth gives charity, and has resolved a whirlwind of present predicaments. Corporations today have started charity enclaves, urged by the government to be socially responsible. But has this changed the mindset of people? Seldom has the donor looked into the effect and effort of organizations and hence the persisting quandaries in the world remain recurring. Genuine philanthropists share their wealth. However, most charitable entities are unable to reach the bottom of the problem. Applying balm to a wound is calming. But that will not help in getting to the source of the disease. True charity is supposed to lift a person spiritually. Make one independent to progress along with others. Not make them dependent selfish, lethargic, and diseased. Remember, “Candent living brings forth Prudent giving”.

The Time is Ticking

Few care about Vedantic intellectual education. An education is beyond the precincts of secular education provided by schools and universities. The educated should mull over the recent graph of wars, poverty, crimes, rapes, stress, divorces… These unfortunate escalations of events have gripped all families in the world. Even children are not spared, as crime perpetrated on children is on the rise.

Pressure on children has led them not to cooperate with parents and educators. Eager to leave homes, the moment they reach the periphery of youth. Therefore, the necessity of bringing in a value system alongside secular education in society should be implemented imminently. The good and spiritual side of humans has to be tapped. The negative will then slowly diminish. Vedanta impacts an individual to harness one’s mind. By imbibing its knowledge, you gain intellectual clarity. This then creates collectively awakened human beings to be more affable and reach out. There is a saying: “You cannot reach God unless you serve & love the expressions of God”.

For the Youth

The future of every country is the power of youth. Parents must pause for a moment and look behind at the legacy they leave, Asian families in recent times have a tradition of debts. In Westerners, a tradition of separation is in relationships, angst in their behavioral habits, and pills to pop anxiety. This directly affects every child.

The youth get influenced by anyone higher in stature. They want to emulate everything their icons do. It is hereby the responsibility of all leaders to leave trails of culture and wisdom that follow sound intellectual reason. Social media has become the death knell of values, a harbinger of sorrow. A disorder which is the eating up concentration of youth and even adults. Use it to evolve, and benefit others, but don’t get abused by it, harm others, and devolve!

An effort has to be made to save the youth. Leaders need to plan a paradigm shift in education. An awakened person would leave behind a cleaner world and not unresolved filth for the young to remove. Albert Einstein made an apt, wise statement: ‘We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them’.

Oh, folks! Isn’t it time to wake up? Awaken the intellect with the knowledge of Vedanta.

It is hence time to go back only to move forward in Time.

NEW DELHI: Further to Panasonic’s recent ground-breaking advancement i.e., India’s First Matter-Enabled Room Air Conditioners (RACs)* powered by Miraie, Panasonic Life Solutions India (PLSIND)- a leading diversified technology company, today, announced its 2024 line-up of Air Conditioners, including the latest range of Matter-enabled Room Air Conditioners (RACs). Responding to the sharp increase in demand for cooling appliances, Panasonic’s has introduced 60 new models across its complete range of ACs. These new models are available for consumers across all leading outlets, e-commerce platforms and on the Panasonic Brand Store at https://pnsnic.com/AC_p_r. Panasonic range of Air Conditioners equipped with Matter protocol is available in 1.0, 1.5- and 2.0-tons models.

Fumiyasu Fujimori, Managing Director, PMIN, Panasonic Life Solutions India said, “Our recently commissioned study ‘Panasonic’s 2024 Young Parents Everyday Life Concerns’ highlighted multifaceted considerations of consumers when dealing with AC-related issues- extending beyond basic cooling, i.e., indoor air hygiene, efficiency and technological integration (connectivity). We developed and manufactured our new range of ACs, keeping the evolving needs of our consumers in mind. The new line-up of ACs, comprising of India’s first Matter-enabled RACs will not only provide inter-operability but, is simple to use, reliable and secure. By seamlessly connecting with other Matter-certified devices and platforms, they will facilitate a smarter and more efficient use of energy, optimizing comfort while minimizing environmental impact. With this, Panasonic takes a significant leap in innovation, ensuring flexibility, and convenience for consumers in the smart appliances’ realm.”

Abhishek Verma, Business Head, Air Conditioners Group, PMIN, PLSIND said, “At Panasonic, Air Conditioners are an important growth engine for our consumer durables division and in this competitive market, we consistently innovate in line with changing consumer preferences. From Indoor Air Quality, energy conservation, connectivity to further building on the convenience aspect, we have now integrated Matter (in our RACs) with our Miraie platform to redefine the smart home experience. Matter provides inter-operability and is simple to use, reliable and secure. In short, a Panasonic Air Conditioner equipped with Matter technology is easily managed using the Miraie platform or, any other Matter- compatible platform. Similarly, any other Room Air Conditioner brand that is compatible with Matter is easily controlled through the Miraie platform. We are expecting a robust demand for ACs this season and are hoping to grow by 40% compared to last AC season.”

With an expertise of over 65 years in developing Air Conditioners, Panasonic’s new range of ACs are tech-enabled and are designed to deliver Cooling, Quality (reliability) and a Connected experience to redefine smart living.

• Cooling performance is ensured through technologies such as Jetstream, Converti7 (7 different cooling performance modes) Aerowings, and 4-Way Inflow to deliver higher Cubic Feet per Minute – the volume of air circulated in a minute by an AC (higher CFM indicates better cooling). This coupled with Panasonic’s nanoeX and nanoe^TMG technologies, helps ensure a healthy indoor AQI by eliminating PM 2.5 particulate matter, dust particles, bacteria, and viruses.  
• Quality and Reliability are guaranteed through technologies such as inverter, ECOTOUGH, ShieldBlu+, ECONAVI (for energy optimization), AG Clean+, and Crystal Clean to name a few.
• Connectivity for smart living comes with technologies such as Matter -an open-source connectivity standard that enables seamless interoperability across smart devices, powered by Miraie – Panasonic’s connected living platform and True AI (Artificial Intelligence – automatically adjusts the AC settings/parameters for comfort cooling). Delivering on its ‘Make in India’ commitment, all Panasonic ACs are manufactured at our Technopark plant in Haryana.
