<p><strong>MADRID, SPAIN: </strong>The Islamic Development Bank Institute (IsDBI) and IE University Spain, through the IE Foundation, have launched a joint initiative to design contract models grounded in European legal frameworks and compatible with Islamic finance principles, to facilitate investment in startups.</p>



<p>The project focuses on identifying and structuring financing instruments adapted to the needs of early-stage ventures operating in civil law systems. Contractual solutions widely used in common law jurisdictions, such as convertible notes, simplified convertible preferred shares, and SAFE agreements, have proven effective in reducing cost, complexity, and negotiation time. However, their application within civil law frameworks requires further legal development, particularly to ensure compatibility with Islamic finance principles.</p>



<p>Within this framework, the initiative combines research, comparative legal analysis, and contract design to review existing risk-sharing financing models, assess their alignment with Islamic finance principles, and examine the feasibility of adapting comparable mechanisms to the Spanish legal framework. Particular attention is given to identifying enabling factors as well as legal and regulatory constraints that may affect their implementation.</p>



<p>Building on this analysis, the project will develop a set of Shari’ah-compliant risk-sharing contract models fully compatible with Spanish and European Union law. These models are conceived to ensure legal enforceability, economic efficiency, and adaptability for use across EU Member States and, more broadly, in non-European civil law jurisdictions, including North Africa and the Gulf.</p>



<p>The project also evaluates the potential of these instruments beyond early-stage ventures, with a view to supporting entrepreneurship more broadly and contributing to more ethical, inclusive, and socially responsible economic development.</p>



<p>“<em>This project represents an important step in strengthening the Islamic finance industry by translating its core principles of risk sharing, fairness, and real economic activity into legally robust instruments suitable for contemporary startup ecosystems</em>,” said <strong>Dr. Sami Al-Suwailem, Acting Director General of the IsDB Institute</strong>. “<em>By anchoring these solutions in European civil law frameworks, the initiative supports the development of Islamic finance in Europe and offers scalable models adaptable to Muslim countries with civil law or hybrid legal systems, reflecting IsDBI’s commitment to ethical, inclusive, and innovation-driven finance at a global level</em>.”</p>



<p><strong>Dr. Celia de Anca, Deputy Dean and expert in Islamic Finance at IE University</strong>, who is leading the development of this project, said. “<em>Ensuring that entrepreneurs have access to suitable financial tools is essential for the success of their ventures and for the sustainable development of local and regional economies</em>.</p>



<p><em>Startups play a key role in innovation and social value creation. Islamic finance offers principles that are highly relevant today, but they require practical and flexible legal instruments that can work across different jurisdictions. This initiative responds to that need and comes at a particularly relevant moment, with the new EU-INC (European Inclusive Company) framework, which will greatly facilitate the adoption of these legal innovations across Europe</em>.”</p>

<p><strong>PUNE:</strong> Arbitrage Funds are gaining traction as an investment option amid equity market volatility, particularly for those seeking a low-risk investment opportunity. By capitalising on price differences between the cash and futures markets, these funds seek to perform better in turbulent conditions, giving fund managers greater scope for intra-month trading opportunities.  </p>



<p>&#8220;<em>In the current environment, arbitrage funds are uniquely positioned to capture the potential benefits of market volatility while shielding investors from direct equity risks. Elevated roll spreads and sustained volatility have enabled arbitrage funds to deliver reasonable returns, even as traditional income avenues have become less attractive. For investors seeking equity tax returns, arbitrage funds offer a suitable proposition</em>,&#8221; said <strong>Sailesh Jain, Fund Manager, Tata Asset Management.</strong>  </p>



<p>According to data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI), arbitrage funds attracted Rs 43,077 crore between April and June 2025, surpassing inflows into other hybrid and equity categories. This surge underscores investor preference for instruments that can deliver relatively reasonable returns while minimising equity risk during periods of heightened uncertainty. However, profit is not guaranteed.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Reflecting the broader industry trend, the Tata Arbitrage Fund too saw inflows of Rs 5,217 crore between April and June 2025, with Rs 356 crore coming from Pune. The fund had assets under management of Rs 14,274 crore as of June 30, 2025.</p>



<p>The environment is especially conducive for arbitrage strategies, as elevated volatility and strong roll spreads have opened potential return opportunities. The Reserve Bank of India&#8217;s recent easing measures—cutting the repo rate by 50 basis points and the Cash Reserve Ratio by 100 basis points—have further boosted the appeal of arbitrage funds over traditional fixed income avenues. The upcoming corporate earnings and a positive monsoon outlook are also expected to lift market sentiment.  </p>



<p>As global and domestic uncertainties continue to cloud the market outlook, arbitrage funds are a choice for investors to help them navigate choppy waters. With interest rates on a downward trend and savings account returns declining, traditional fixed-income options have become relatively less attractive in terms of returns. At the same time, factors such as the anticipated Indo-US trade deal, tariff negotiations, and ongoing geopolitical tensions are keeping the market volatility elevated. Although the US dollar index remains subdued for now, any spike in global risk aversion may trigger fresh market swings. In this backdrop, arbitrage funds seek to offer investors a low-risk way to capitalise on volatility without direct equity exposure. </p>



<p>Arbitrage funds also offer tax efficiency, as they are taxed like equity mutual funds, giving them an edge over short-term debt instruments, particularly for high-income investors looking to optimise post-tax returns. For those seeking a low-risk hedge against equity market exposure, along with the potential for competitive returns vis-a-vis traditional savings options, arbitrage funds present a potential investment opportunity in today&#8217;s volatile environment. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="has-small-font-size"><strong>By</strong> <em>Dr. Vinay Kumar B R, Consultant, Hepatology and Liver Transplantation, Narayana Health City Bengaluru</em></p>



<p>In an age ruled by convenience foods and screen-based lifestyles, a silent epidemic is brewing and is often symptomless until it becomes life-threatening. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its more severe form, called Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), are increasingly becoming causes for concern, particularly in the younger population. These conditions are driven predominantly by modern diets rich in processed snacks, refined sugars, and unhealthy fats.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>A Crisis Fuelled by Convenience</strong></h3>



<p>Today’s dietary patterns are dominated by ultra-processed foods—ready meals, sugary beverages, deep-fried snacks, and energy bars—all disguised as health foods. Coupled with sedentary routines, erratic sleep, and chronic stress, this lifestyle is fuelling liver dysfunction at an alarming rate.</p>



<p>Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease occurs when excess fat accumulates in liver cells in people who consume little or no alcohol. If left untreated, it can progress to NASH, characterised by inflammation, liver cell damage, and eventually scarring (fibrosis), cirrhosis, liver failure, or hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer). However, NAFLD is often asymptomatic in its early stages, making routine screening vital for those at risk.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>The Young Are Not Immune</strong></h3>



<p>Once considered a disease of older adults, NAFLD is now increasingly diagnosed in teenagers, young professionals, and even athletes. The irony lies in the so-called ‘healthy’ snacks: protein bars, flavoured yoghurts and energy drinks, which are often marketed as nutritious, are typically packed with added sugars, trans fats and artificial additives.</p>



<p>Recent data published in news reports like The Hindu, TOI, and more indicate a dramatic rise in liver conditions among people under 30, with lifestyle choices being the chief culprits.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>Food Triggers That Sabotage Liver Health</strong></h3>



<p>Several daily habits contribute to the growing prevalence of liver diseases.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Erratic Eating Patterns</strong>: Skipping meals and late-night snacking disrupt the body&#8217;s natural metabolic rhythm.</li>



<li><strong>Stress Eating</strong>: Turning to high-sugar and high-salt snacks during emotional distress can overload the liver with fats.</li>



<li><strong>Poor Nutritional Quality</strong>: Diets low in fibre and essential micronutrients deprive the liver of the materials it needs for detoxification and repair.</li>



<li><strong>Caffeine and Sugar Overload</strong>: Excessive consumption of energy drinks, coffees, and sugar-loaded snacks, seen especially in students and office workers, burdens the liver’s metabolic capacity.</li>



<li><strong>Physical Inactivity</strong>: Sedentary behaviours, common in remote work and digital lifestyles, contribute to insulin resistance and fat accumulation in the liver.</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>The Gut-Liver Axis: A Vital Connection</strong></h3>



<p>Emerging studies point to the gut-liver axis—a biological highway linking intestinal health and liver function. A disrupted gut microbiome, often a result of poor dietary choices, can increase gut permeability. This allows toxins and harmful substances to leak into the bloodstream, reaching the liver and triggering inflammation. Supporting gut health through probiotic-rich foods, fermented products, and fibre can mitigate this risk and aid liver recovery.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>Five Simple Habits to Protect and Heal Your Liver</strong></h3>



<ol start="1" class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Prioritise Whole Foods</strong>: Embrace a diet rich in colourful vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and lean proteins.<br></li>



<li><strong>Move Your Body</strong>: Aim for 30 minutes of moderate physical activity daily—walking, swimming, cycling, or yoga.<br></li>



<li><strong>Sleep Smarter</strong>: Maintain regular sleep patterns and aim for seven to eight hours of uninterrupted sleep to allow the liver time to regenerate.<br></li>



<li><strong>Ditch Packaged Products</strong>: Reduce reliance on instant noodles, sugary drinks, frozen snacks, and other highly processed items.<br></li>



<li><strong>Routine Health Checks</strong>: Those over 30, overweight, or diabetic should consider annual liver function tests to catch early signs of NAFLD or NASH.</li>
</ol>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>The Sugar Culprit: Why Fructose Is Dangerous</strong></h3>



<p>Fructose, especially in the form of high-fructose corn syrup found in fizzy drinks and many processed foods, is metabolised primarily by the liver. Unlike glucose, which is processed by various tissues, fructose can overwhelm the liver’s capacity, increasing fat synthesis and storage. Reducing fructose intake is a crucial step in both the prevention and treatment of fatty liver disease.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>Liver Health: An Urgent Call to Action</strong></h3>



<p>Greater public awareness and education about NAFLD are essential. Nutritional literacy in workplaces, government organisations, and educational institutions must be prioritised, healthy eating promoted, and regular health screenings advocated. People must move towards lifestyle reform, change how they view their relationship with food, in order to keep their liver healthy and make wellness a habit.</p>

<p><strong>By: </strong>Dr. Ishan Capoor is a Pulmonologist at Narayana Health City, Bengaluru</p>



<p>Most of us don’t give our lungs much thought until something goes wrong. Trouble breathing, persistent coughing, wheezing—those are red flags. But lung diseases like cancer? They can sneak up quietly, without any early warning signs. That’s what makes them so dangerous. And in recent years, there’s a new silent threat making its way into the lungs of teenagers and young adults—<strong>vaping</strong>.</p>



<p>It might look harmless, trendy even. A cloud of fruity vapor, a sleek pen-like device—hardly feels like a big deal, right? But underneath all the flash lies something far more serious. E-cigarettes, the backbone of vaping culture, are anything but safe. And when it comes to the developing lungs of teens, the damage might be worse than we think.</p>



<p><strong>Vaping and Lung Cancer: The Not-So-Obvious Link</strong></p>



<p>Let’s be clear: vaping doesn’t just “look” like smoking—it carries its own set of deadly risks. A recent study revealed something shocking—individuals who both smoke and vape are <strong>four times</strong> more likely to develop lung cancer than those who only smoke. Even ex-smokers who pick up vaping aren’t off the hook. Those who had quit smoking within five years and turned to e-cigarettes showed a significantly higher lung cancer risk compared to non-vapers.</p>



<p>What’s inside those vapors? A toxic lineup. Chemicals like formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and acrolein are all present, and all are known to cause cell damage in the lungs, which builds up over time and paves the way for cancer.</p>



<p>Teenagers are at even greater risk. Their lungs are still maturing, their bodies more vulnerable to the inflammatory and scarring effects of repeated chemical exposure. The scary part? The real damage often doesn’t show up until years later. But it begins early, with inflammation, immune dysfunction, and lung tissue changes.</p>



<p>And it doesn’t stop at cancer. Vaping has also been linked to <strong>COPD</strong> (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) and worsened asthma—conditions that can severely affect quality of life, starting young and staying lifelong.</p>



<p><strong>What’s Actually in a Vape?</strong></p>



<p>Ask a teenager why they vape, and many will shrug: <em>“It’s better than smoking.”</em> But is it?</p>



<p>Peel back the candy-coloured marketing, and you’ll find an ugly truth—<strong>vape aerosols are loaded with chemicals you wouldn’t want anywhere near your lungs</strong>. The device works by heating a liquid (e-liquid or vape juice) using a coil. This creates an aerosol that carries a blend of harmful substances.</p>



<p>Some of the worst offenders:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Nicotine</strong> – Addictive and harmful to brain development, especially in teens. It messes with memory, increases anxiety, and contributes to mood instability.</li>



<li><strong>Acrolein, formaldehyde, and acetaldehyde</strong> – These gases damage lung cells and raise cancer risk.</li>



<li><strong>Benzene</strong> – Found in car exhaust, now found in your lungs.</li>



<li><strong>Metals like nickel and tin</strong> – These come from the coil and can accumulate in the body, leading to long-term organ damage.</li>
</ul>



<p>And let’s talk flavours. Fruity, minty, dessert-inspired vape options are a big reason teens get hooked. But those flavours? Created using chemicals that may seem harmless but can turn toxic when heated and inhaled.</p>



<p>What’s painfully ironic is this: so many young people believe vaping is the “healthier” choice. Instead, they’re unknowingly inhaling a concoction that can wreak havoc on their lungs, brains, and hearts.</p>



<p><strong>Vaping: It’s Not Just a Lung Issue</strong></p>



<p>Here’s something that rarely gets mentioned—vaping doesn’t just damage the lungs. It <strong>affects nearly every major system in the body</strong>, and teenagers may be setting themselves up for lifelong health issues.</p>



<p>Let’s start with the heart. Studies show vaping can:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Increase heart rate</li>



<li>Raise blood pressure</li>



<li>Harden arteries<br>Together, these changes boost the risk of heart attacks and heart failure, even in young users.</li>
</ul>



<p>There’s also the terrifying condition called “<strong>popcorn lung</strong>” (bronchiolitis obliterans), which results from inhaling harmful chemicals used in vape liquids. It causes scarring in the lungs, making it hard to breathe, and the damage is usually permanent.</p>



<p>On the mental health side, the high doses of nicotine can lead to <strong>seizures, migraines</strong>, and long-term cognitive slowing. And it doesn’t stop there. More and more research connects vaping to <strong>depression, anxiety, mood swings, and emotional instability</strong>.</p>



<p>A single puff might seem harmless. But it can set off a cascade of health effects that are anything but temporary.</p>



<p><strong>India’s Ongoing Struggle With Vaping Among Youth</strong></p>



<p>Here’s the twist—<strong>vaping is illegal in India</strong>. The government banned e-cigarettes back in 2019. But you wouldn’t guess it from looking around. Teen vaping is still on the rise, and it&#8217;s alarmingly easy for underage users to get their hands on vape pens and juices.</p>



<p>A recent 2023 study by the <em>Think Change Forum</em> paints a worrying picture:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>96%</strong> of teens aged 14–17 didn’t even know vaping is banned in India.</li>



<li><strong>89%</strong> were unaware of the serious health risks.</li>
</ul>



<p>So, what’s fuelling this ignorance? Easy access. Lack of checks. And, sadly, poor awareness in schools and households. Sleek designs and colourful flavours don’t help either—they disguise danger in appealing wrappers.</p>



<p>Surveys across cities like Delhi and Bengaluru show that vapes are still being sold, often under the counter and with zero age verification. This calls for <strong>tougher enforcement</strong> on illegal sellers and <strong>stronger education</strong> in schools and communities.</p>



<p>Schools should monitor for vaping just like they do for drugs and bullying. Parents, too, need to step up. Honest, judgment-free conversations can often do more than any warning label.</p>



<p><strong>The Final Puff</strong></p>



<p>Here’s the hard truth: <strong>vaping is not harmless.</strong> It’s not a cool trend. It’s not “better than smoking.” It’s a habit that puts young bodies, especially young lungs and brains, at real, long-term risk.</p>



<p>Lung damage. Heart disease. Cognitive problems. Mental health issues. Addiction. All for a temporary high and a flavoured cloud.</p>



<p>The choice facing teens and parents isn’t complicated. It’s urgent: <strong>protect your health or risk it all for a trend that doesn’t last.</strong></p>

<p class="has-text-align-center" style="font-size:24px"><em>AI&#8217;s Breakneck Growth is Outpacing Governance—Executives Struggle to Balance Innovation with Accountability and Ethics, Raising Red Flags for the Future of AI Adoption</em></p>



<p><strong>INDIA:</strong> New research from <a href="https://www.nttdata.com/global/en/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NTT DATA</a> Inc., a global digital business and IT services leader, reveals that businesses are racing to adopt AI, yet a responsibility gap threatens to undermine progress. More than 80% of executives acknowledge that leadership, governance, and workforce readiness are failing to keep pace with AI advancements—putting investment, security, and public trust at risk.</p>



<p>The report,&nbsp;<em>The AI Responsibility Gap: Why Leadership is the Missing Link</em>, draws insight from more than 2,300 C-suite leaders and decision-makers across 34 countries, uncovering the urgent need for a leadership-driven mandate to align AI innovation with ethical responsibility.</p>



<p>“The enthusiasm for AI is undeniable, but our findings show that innovation without responsibility is a risk multiplier,” said Abhijit Dubey, Chief Executive Officer, NTT DATA, Inc. “Organizations need leadership-driven AI governance strategies to close this gap—before progress stalls and trust erodes.”</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Key Findings: The AI Responsibility Gap is Widening</h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Innovation vs. Responsibility is a Boardroom Battle</strong> – The C-suite is divided: One-third of executives believe responsibility matters more than innovation, while another third prioritizes innovation over safety; the remaining third rates them equally.</li>



<li><strong>Regulatory Uncertainty Stifles Growth </strong>– More than 80% of leaders say unclear government regulations hinder AI investment and implementation, leading to delayed adoption.</li>



<li><strong>Security and Ethics Lag Behind AI Ambitions</strong> – 89% of C-suite leaders worry about AI security risks, yet only 24% of CISOs believe their organizations have a strong framework to balance AI risk and value creation.</li>



<li><strong>The Workforce Isn’t Ready</strong> – 67% of executives say their employees lack the skills to work effectively with AI, while 72% admit they do not have an AI policy in place to guide responsible use.</li>



<li><strong>Sustainability Concerns Emerge </strong>– 75% of leaders say AI ambitions conflict with corporate sustainability goals, forcing organizations to rethink energy-intensive AI solutions.</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Leadership Mandate: Closing the AI Responsibility Gap</h3>



<p>Without decisive action, organizations risk a future where AI advancements outstrip the governance needed to ensure ethical, secure, and effective AI adoption. Leaders must address:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Responsible by Design Principles </strong>– AI, including GenAI, must be built responsibly from the ground up and end-to-end, integrating security, compliance, and transparency into development from day one.</li>



<li><strong>A Governance Imperative</strong> – Leaders must go beyond legal requirements and meet AI ethical and social standards using a systematic approach.</li>



<li><strong>Workforce Readiness</strong> – Organizations must upskill employees to work alongside AI and ensure teams understand AI’s risks and opportunities.</li>



<li><strong>Global Collaboration on AI Policy</strong> – Businesses, regulators, and industry leaders must come together to create clearer, actionable AI governance frameworks and establish global AI standards.</li>
</ul>



<p>&#8220;<em>AI’s trajectory is clear—its impact will only grow. But without decisive leadership, we risk a future where innovation outpaces responsibility, creating security gaps, ethical blind spots, and missed opportunities</em>,” closed <strong>Dubey</strong>. “<em>The business community must act now. By embedding responsibility into AI’s foundation—through design, governance, workforce readiness, and ethical frameworks—we unlock AI’s full potential while ensuring it serves businesses, employees, and society at large equally.</em>”</p>

<p class="has-text-align-left has-small-font-size"><strong>BY: D</strong><em>r. Pavan Yadav, Lead Consultant &#8211; Interventional Pulmonology &amp; Lung Transplantation, Aster RV Hospital</em></p>



<p>Lung cancer is a formidable adversary, claiming countless lives each year. Enhancing public awareness about this disease is crucial. Awareness of lung cancer is essential for saving lives. By understanding the disease, its risk factors, and the importance of early detection, we can work towards a future where lung cancer is no longer a leading cause of death.</p>



<p>Tobacco smoking is the primary risk factor for lung cancer in India, contributing to a significant proportion of cases. However, exposure to environmental pollutants, occupational hazards, and genetic factors also play crucial roles in the development of this disease.</p>



<p><strong>Risk Factors and Prevention</strong></p>



<p>Understanding the risk factors associated with lung cancer is vital for promoting prevention and early detection. Major risk factors include:</p>



<ol start="1" class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Tobacco Use</strong>: Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer, responsible for about 85% of all cases. Quitting smoking is the most effective way to reduce the risk.</li>



<li><strong>Secondhand Smoke</strong>: Exposure to secondhand smoke also increases the risk of developing lung cancer.</li>



<li><strong>Environmental and Occupational Exposures</strong>: Prolonged exposure to asbestos, radon gas, and other hazardous substances can elevate the risk of lung cancer.</li>



<li><strong>Genetic Predisposition</strong>: Family history and genetic factors can contribute to an individual&#8217;s susceptibility to lung cancer.</li>
</ol>



<p><strong>The Importance of Early Detection and Screening</strong></p>



<p>Early cancer detection and screening play a crucial role in improving lung cancer outcomes. Here are some key points highlighting their significance:</p>



<ol start="1" class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Early Detection Saves Lives</strong>: Early detection of lung cancer leads to better treatment outcomes and higher survival rates. When lung cancer is diagnosed at an early stage, before it has spread to other parts of the body, there is a higher chance of successful treatment and potential cure.</li>



<li><strong>Screening Programs for High-Risk Individuals</strong>: For individuals at high risk of developing lung cancer, such as heavy smokers and those with a family history of the disease, regular screening programs are recommended. Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) scans are commonly used for early detection in high-risk populations.</li>



<li><strong>Importance of Smoking Cessation</strong>: Encouraging smoking cessation is not only a preventive measure but also a way to enable early detection. Former smokers should be aware of their heightened risk for lung cancer and participate in screening programs to detect any potential abnormalities at an early stage.</li>



<li><strong>Public Awareness Campaigns</strong>: Raising awareness about the importance of early cancer detection through public campaigns can encourage people to seek medical attention promptly if they experience any concerning symptoms or fall into high-risk categories.</li>



<li><strong>Recognizing Warning Signs</strong>: Educating the public about common lung cancer symptoms, such as persistent cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, hoarseness, unexplained weight loss, and coughing up blood, can prompt individuals to seek medical evaluation if they experience these signs.</li>



<li><strong>Access to Healthcare</strong>: Improving access to healthcare services and diagnostic facilities is crucial for early detection. Efforts should be made to ensure that people, especially those in remote or underserved areas, have access to screening and diagnostic resources.</li>



<li><strong>Combining Screening with Preventive Measures</strong>: Early detection should be complemented with preventive measures. Promoting a healthy lifestyle, avoiding tobacco products, and minimizing exposure to environmental pollutants can help reduce the risk of developing lung cancer.</li>



<li><strong>Research and Technological Advancements</strong>: Continued research in the field of lung cancer detection and screening is essential to develop better and more accurate screening methods, leading to earlier diagnosis and improved patient outcomes.</li>
</ol>



<p>By addressing these risk factors and emphasizing the importance of early detection, we can improve lung cancer outcomes in India and reduce the burden of this devastating disease. Public awareness, healthcare access, and preventive measures are all critical components in the fight against lung cancer.</p>

<p><strong>Prashant Tewari, Managing Director, USV “</strong><em>We have been empathetic to the needs of patients especially individuals with cardiac conditions, and do not have an option for its management, the launch of Q rite tablets in India underscores our vision of enhancing accessibility. Our commitment to niche medication will offer targeted solutions that significantly improve patient outcomes</em>.”</p>



<p>Elaborating on the importance of the launch, <strong>Dr. Aditya Kapoor, President of the </strong>Indian Society of Electrocardiology (ISE), and <strong>Dr. Ketan Mehta, Honorary General-Secretary (ISE)</strong> mentioned in a joint statement that &#8220;<em>Quinidine being an old yet versatile multipurpose antiarrhythmic drug, its availability in India shall adequately address the need of a select group of patient population</em>.”</p>



<p>Q rite tablets is currently available at pharmacies in select hospitals and through online pharmaceutical retailer Tata 1mg.</p>
