Sunmeister Energy: Engineering Reliable Power and Energy Solutions for Indian Realities
, where temperatures plunge to -50C and conditions become barely livable for humans, a Sunmeister solar hybrid generator operates in silence powering communications and essential equipment through conditions that would defeat most machines. Sunmeister Energy- Engineering Reliable Power and Energy Solutions for Indian Realities From coastal farmland to Himalayan peaks, this is what Sunmeister Energy has spent a decade building: solar hybrid power that people never have to think about. Starting with the right question Founded in Chennai in 2014, Sunmeister began not with solar panels but with a deeper question: How do you make power and energy truly dependable , across India's diverse terrains and regardless of grid conditions? The answer led to a storage-first philosophy that would define everything the company built. Rather than treating solar as a standalone solution, Sunmeister engineered holistic solar hybrid power and energy systems intelligently combining solar generation, battery storage, grid power, and generators into ecosystems that think for themselves. These systems switch seamlessly between power sources, protect sensitive equipment, and keep critical loads running regardless of external conditions. The panels matter, certainly. But they're one instrument in an orchestra, not a solo act. Holistic, not standalone A solar panel on a roof is just the beginning. True energy independence requires a complete ecosystem - generation, storage, backup, monitoring, and intelligent management working together. Sunmeister designs holistic power and energy solutions where every component serves the whole. Batteries store excess solar generation for use after dark. Inverters manage the flow between solar, grid, and backup sources. Smart monitoring tracks performance and anticipates maintenance needs. The result isn't a collection of parts, it's an integrated system engineered for reliability across every condition. This holistic approach means clients don't worry about individual components. They simply have power when they need it. A problem-solving approach Every Sunmeister project starts with listening. What are the critical loads? What are the site conditions? What does reliability actually mean for this client? The team works backwards - designing systems that meet specific requirements rather than offering off-the-shelf configurations. A healthcare centre in Nagaland has different needs than a factory in Chennai or a farmhouse in Odisha. When hybrid generators were needed for forward posts at high altitudes , or marine applications. Sunmeister's team spent weeks understanding extreme cold conditions refining designs for reliability at -50C. When farmers needed cold storage that could survive monsoons, Sunmeister developed India's first fully electric, hybrid solar cold rooms - zero-diesel and now deployed across Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, and Odisha. India's leading Victron Energy partner Sunmeister is India's foremost distributor and solution provider for Victron Energy - a Dutch power electronics company with nearly five decades of experience in marine, off-grid, and mission-critical applications. It's technology trusted on ocean-crossing yachts and Antarctic research stations. As authorised distributors, Sunmeister provides access to the full Victron product range. As design and solution providers, the team engineers complete systems tailored to Indian conditions. As service partners, they deliver installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance. Remote monitoring through Victron's VRM platform provides real-time visibility into system performance. Issues are identified and addressed before they become problems. Designed for India Global technology alone wasn't enough. Every component and installation practice had to be adapted for Indian conditions:summers, coastal humidity, fine dust, monsoon rains, voltage fluctuations. Over a decade of on-ground experience shaped an approach where nothing is assumed and everything is engineered for resilience. Today, with over 600 installations operational and failure rate under 0.1%, Sunmeister has earned a reputation for solar hybrid systems that simply workday after day, year after year. Trusted across sectors The company's journey has taken it from Chennai rooftops to healthcare centres in Nagaland, from the National Blind School to the French Consulate in Puducherry. The client portfolio spans homes, commercial establishments, factories, farms, hospitals, educational institutions, government bodies, development organisations including UNDP and UNICEF, and defence installations. What unites them: power they can count on, every single time. Engineering for the long term Sunmeister doesn't compete on being the cheapest. The focus is on lowest total cost of ownership, holistic solar hybrid systems engineered for 1525 years of service life, backed by warranties that match. At its core, Sunmeister Energy is built on a simple belief: power and energy should be something people never have to worry about. Not during monsoons. Not at -50C. Not when everything depends on it. About Sunmeister Energy Pvt. Ltd. Sunmeister Energy is a Chennai-based solar hybrid power and energy solutions company founded in 2014. As India's leading Victron Energy distributor and solution provider, the company designs, installs, and maintains holistic solar, storage, and hybrid power and energy systems across India and international markets. www.sunmeister.in | hello@sunmeister.in | WhatsApp: +91 9600763493 | 044 4011 4424

T20 WC: Time Of Upsets Is In Past For Netherlands, Aim To Get In Final Four, Says Logan Van Beek
T20 World Cups: The Netherlands have won more matches in the Mens T20 World Cups than any other associate nation. Twin victories over England twice, while taking down South Africa and Zimbabwe have underlined their ability to beat top-ranked sides. But as they gear up to compete in their seventh T20 World Cup, the Netherlands are keen to shed their reputation of being giant-killers and make a serious push to get into the closing stages of the tournament. Seam-bowling all-rounder Logan Van Beek was born in Christchurch, New Zealand, but holds a Dutch passport through his father, and has been a constant presence in Netherlands set-up since 2014 Mens T20 World Cup. In an exclusive conversation with IANS, van Beek talks about the Netherlands aspirations in the tournament, preparation, reliance on data analytics and more. Excerpts: Q. How have you adjusted to the pitches which will be on offer in India and Sri Lanka during the sides recent camp at Super Kings Academy in Chennai? A. Yes, it's my first time of actually understanding the difference between red soil, black soil, and then the combo of black and red. They all have differences depending on what time of day you play. If you're playing a morning game, it might be a little bit stickier. In the afternoon, its a little bit drier, and then come the evening, dew might play a factor. It's just trying to understand the different soils and sometimes it dictates what ball you might go to more often in your spell. Q. Given the Netherlands history of making upsets in recent tournaments, how do you foresee the sides chances in the mega event? A. I think the times of upsets is kind of in the past for us. We're here to reach the final stages of the tournament. We've been together as a group for two or three years now. We've won some big games, which has given us confidence. But we're here to get to the final four and see if we can push for the trophy. Q. Beyond the smaller talent pool, what additional challenges do Associate teams face in competing at this level? A. Obviously, there's the financial kind of problem that associate teams have, the lack of resources, the lack of extra coaching throughout the season, and the lead-in periods. There's also the number of players that we often have to choose from. So, you really have to upskill the guys that are in your kind of 20-man squad. But again, it's something that we just have to deal with and get on with it. Our kind of motto is just to try and get as much as we can out of each individual and then come together as one as we walk onto the field. Q. To what extent does the Netherlands rely on data and analytics in T20 cricket, and how does it shape your preparation? A. We're a big fan of data analytics. We're not afraid of a long meeting and discussion amongst the group and really understanding what guys are thinking and what each person has seen with the data. We've got a coaching staff who really look into the numbers and try to find that little outlier or something that can give us a slight advantage going into the game. I think it's something that we need to do as a group, just to have something one-up against the opposition, because when we go up against the likes of Australia, India, New Zealand. Man for man, obviously they're very good cricketers and we need to find ways to find little gaps in their games that we can exploit, or just ways to try and get a little opportunity. If we can open that up, that doesn't really make sense, but if we can find a way that we can find some information that is unique, use it, and if we can gain that little opportunity to take advantage of and see if we can run with it. T20 cricket is one of those games where there are small advantages. The game can happen very fast, and momentum can shift very quickly. So that's what we're trying to do, is to try and create a moment to try and turn that into momentum. Q. Having beaten South Africa previously, as well as England and Zimbabwe, what do such victories mean for Associate players like you? A. First and foremost, it's a great memory. Some of my greatest memories with the Dutch team are beating those top tier nations, and the most enjoyable part of those games is the way that we've gone about it. In preparation, we've stood tall, guys have had special performances within those games, but we've done it as a group. It's something that we thrive on in terms of being and winning together. So now, going into this tournament, having had those little successes in the past, it's about can we do that in these first four games and try and get those three wins. Q. You continue to play domestic cricket in New Zealand and England. How does that experience help your own game and in adapting to different conditions? A. I just love playing cricket all year round. I guess, getting a little bit older, I want to make sure that I'm playing cricket. I don't necessarily want to be indoors training. The more cricket I can play, whether it be New Zealand or England, I just want to make sure that as long as this body is fit, I want to be playing cricket. It obviously gives you good experiences coming against different types of players, slightly different pitches. It's also exciting because you're trying to evolve your game constantly. Young guys are coming in and doing some really special different things. It's good to get that experience, and then when you go into tournaments like this, you can rely on that experience. If you see something you can, and you do go well, so I've done well by doing this against this. I'm going to trust that and definitely adds to the toolbox. Q. The Netherlands will play matches in Colombo, New Delhi, Chennai and Ahmedabad. How significant will it be to adapt to the conditions on offer closer to game days? A. We've played in Delhi, against Australia (in the 2023 ODI World Cup) and so we know that venue. It's a rapid outfield and quite a small ground. Australia had a bit of a day out that day. But for me, it's exciting. Ahmedabad is a huge stadium. I'm hoping that there's going to be 1,30,000 people there just for that atmosphere against India. I've never been to Sri Lanka. I've always wanted to play in Colombo. So that's going to be a really cool experience. Then Chennai, I've personally played a game there for New Zealand A. But we've watched plenty of IPL cricket and we've seen the Super Kings do so well there. It's just going to be an awesome experience. Playing cricket in India in general is just an amazing experience - doesn't matter which ground you're at. Q. You were born and raised in Christchurch but represent the Netherlands through family heritage. How do you balance this dual identity and more importantly, carrying Dutch cricket forward? A. I am me, really. It's like Logan van Beek is a mixture of being half Dutch. My grandfather's a West Indian from Trinidad and Tobago. I was born and raised in New Zealand. I'm kind of a bit of a mixing pot of different nationalities and that's unique to me. I'm super proud of each and one of those nationalities that I represent. I've been fortunate enough to play and represent the Netherlands in the last 12 years. It's something that I'm very, very proud of each time I get to do it. It's the main thing - just trying to inspire the next generation of Netherlands cricketers. If we can throughout this World Cup, get one or two of them watching, seeing how we play together, how much fun we're having and doing some x-factor performances, then hopefully we create some young cricketers who want to pick up a cricket bat instead of a hockey stick. I've been fortunate enough to play and represent the Netherlands in the last 12 years. It's something that I'm very, very proud of each time I get to do it. It's the main thing - just trying to inspire the next generation of Netherlands cricketers. Also Read: Live Cricket Score A. It is 100 percent. He's the reason why I play cricket. He taught me how to hold a bat and play the game in the right spirit. He was my biggest fan, and my biggest critic. Every time I play cricket, a lot of the times I'm playing for him. I know that he's up there watching me. But he was a massive influence and I definitely wouldn't be playing cricket if it wasn't for him and his passion for the game. Article Source: IANS

To improve awareness about and access to the availability of senior care services and products, Antara Senior Care -Indias only fully integrated senior care ecosystem - has joined hands with Star Union Dai-ichi Life Insurance (SUD Life), one of Indias fastest growing and prominent life insurance providers in India. The tie-up takes an integrated approach towards senior wellness and financial literacy with the initiative set to culminate in the launch of specialised financial products for seniors. According to The Longitudinal Ageing Study of India (LASI) 2021 report by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, only 28% seniors are aware of any concessions, schemes or benefits available for them, a mere 18% are covered by health insurance, and 78% live without pension cover. The fact that ~70% seniors are completely dependent on family and relatives for everyday needs despite various government schemes and emerging private sector solutions underlines the need for initiatives to further awareness about age-care services. The Antara-SUD Life partnership is a decisive step in that direction. Ishaan Khanna, CEO, Antara Assisted Care Services, said, We are pleased to collaborate with Star Union Dai-ichi Life Insurance to promote well-informed, proactive ageing, enabling seniors to lead healthier, more independent lives. Backed by the Max Groups legacy in healthcare and the experience of developing one of Indias most comprehensive senior care ecosystems, Antara is uniquely positioned to help SUD Life Insurance customers and their families understand various facets of holistic wellness to secure their future. Mr. Abhay Tewari, MD & CEO, Star Union Dai-ichi Life Insurance, said, We are delighted to partner with Antara to deliver a structured and holistic approach to senior citizen well-being, integrating financial security with overall wellness. At its core, this initiative is about helping people understand their choices and plan with more confidence. As longevity increases, such integrated solutions will play a critical role in helping individuals plan with confidence for the years ahead. As Indias foremost fully integrated senior care ecosystem with services spanning from award-winning residences to NABH-accredited Care Homes to D2C wellness website AGEasy, Antara will useits expertise, derived from serving over five lakh seniors, to craft digital-first, information-rich communication for SUD Lifes customers and employees. Antara experts will also lead webinars and on-ground engagements to further awareness about the different types of care needed through differing phases of ageing and the financial solutions and tools needed to equip seniors and their families. Insurance specialists from Star Union Dai-ichi Life Insurance curated and launched exclusive financial products that can be used by Antara customers. India is at the cusp of a significant demographic shift. According to the JLL-ASLI 2024 report, the countrys senior population is poised to more than double from 156.7 million in 2024 to 347 million by 2050. UNFPA data projects that the population of people aged 80+ in India will grow by approximately 279% between 2022 and 2050, bringing with it complex challenges be they financial or care related. Addressing these requires integrated, scalable solutions that go beyond healthcare alone a gap addressed by this tie-up between Antara Senior Care and SUD Life. About Antara Senior Care Launched in 2013, Antara is the senior-care business of Max India Limited, part of the $7-billion Max Group. It is an integrated ecosystem for senior care, operating in two main lines of business - Residences for Seniors and Assisted Care Services. Antaras first senior residential community in Dehradun, comprising nearly 200 families, caters to their social, recreational, educational, wellness, and health-related needs. In the near future, it will open its second senior living community in Noidas Sector-150, with families moving into the 340 apartments built in the first phase. Expanding its footprint in Gurugram, Antara will manage senior living residences, dedicated spaces for senior living, and primary healthcare services at Estate 360 and Estate 361, developed by Max Estates. Antaras Assisted Care Services include Care Homes, Memory Care Home, Care at Home and AGEasy.

Its Care at Home services, offered in Delhi NCR, Bengaluru and Chennai, provide well-equipped, trained professionals offering care to seniors inside their homes comfort. AGEasy, an online and offline store focusing on senior-specific products and solutions to manage chronic health conditions at home, has touched over 5 lakh lives since inception in 2023. About SUD Life Insurance Star Union Dai-ichi Life Insurance (SUD Life), founded in 2009, is a powerful collaboration between two of Indias leading public sector banks, Bank of India, Union Bank of India, and Daiichi Life, Japans second-largest life insurer. Built on a strong foundation of trust and expertise, SUD Life serves over 15 million customers with Assets Under Management (AUM) of Rs. 31,069 Crores (as of 31st March 2025) through a strong network of over 20,000 distribution touch points, offering innovative and customer-centric solutions.
