Pony Ambulance wins hearts on Amarnath route with medicines, first-aid on four hooves
Srinagar, Jul 10: As thousands of devotees make their way towards the holy cave shrine of Amarnath, an unusual sight along the Chandanwari-Cave route in Pahalgam has emerged as a symbol of compassion and preparedness a pony not carrying pilgrims or luggage, but a mobile stock of medicines and first-aid supplies. The initiative, popularly referred to by pilgrims as the PonyAmbulance,has become an instant attraction and a source of comfort for yatris undertaking the arduous journey through steep climbs and unpredictable weather conditions. At the centre of this unique service is Farooq Ahmad, a pony owner associated with the Yatra arrangements, who moves along the track with his horse carrying essential medicines and emergency supplies for pilgrims in distress. Strapped carefully to theback of the animal are boxes containing painkillers, ointments for muscle strains, antiseptics, bandages, inhalers, injections, medicines for nausea and altitude sickness, and even emergency medicines related tocardiac complications and blood pressure issues. Many pilgrims develop fatigue, body pain, breathing difficulties or dizziness during the climb. Reaching a medical camp may sometimes take time. This pony ambulance provides immediate relief until professional medical assistance arrives, Farooq said while attending to exhausted pilgrims near a resting point on the route. Hesaidthe arrangement solely belongs tothe administration and the health department. The servicehas been introduced with the support of the administrationto strengthen emergency response mechanisms along the difficult mountain track where thousands of pilgrims pass every day. Pilgrims say the presence of the moving first-aid unit offers not just medical help but also psychological reassurance. I was surprised to see medicines being carried on a horse. My wife complained of severe muscle pain, and the team immediately provided an ointment and basic medication. It was a thoughtful initiative, said Rajesh Sharma, a pilgrim from Jaipur. Sunita Devi from Madhya Pradesh said the sight of the pony ambulance reflected the spirit of service associated with the pilgrimage.The route is challenging, especially for elderly devotees. Knowing that help is moving alongside us gives immense confidence. The administration and local people deserve appreciation, she said. Another pilgrim, Aman Verma from Delhi, recalled how an elderly yatri experiencing breathlessnesswas providedimmediate assistance before being shifted to a nearby medical camp. The response was quick and efficient. In the mountains, even a few minutes matter, and this service can make a real difference, he said. Officials associatedwith theYatra management said the initiative complements the extensive healthcare infrastructure established along the pilgrimage routes, including medical camps, oxygen booths, emergency rescue teams and helicopter evacuation facilities. However, it is the image of Farooq Ahmad quietly walking alongside his medicine-carrying horse through the Himalayan terrain that has captured theimagination of pilgrims.

Aukera , India's leading premium lab-grown diamond jewellery brand, today announced that it has raised Rs. 90 crore (over USD 10 million) in fresh funding, led by existing investor Alteria Capital, along with InnoVen Capital, Lighthouse Canton and a leading bank. The raise comes less than twelve months after the company closed a USD 15 million equity round led by Peak XV Partners, with participation from Fireside Ventures, Sparrow Capital, Prath Ventures and Alteria Capital a pace of back-to-back institutional capital that reflects the strength of Aukera's growth trajectory and the confidence of lenders and investors alike in the underlying business. The company continues to strengthen its balance sheet as the category draws in India's largest players, including Titan with its lab-grown diamond brand Beyon a market Aukera has been leading from the front. Kumar Saurabh, Co-founder, Aukera and Lisa Mukhedkar, Founder & CEO, Aukera That leadership is visible on the ground: in the year since its last raise, Aukera has grown from 13 to 35 company-owned stores, expanding beyond Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Delhi NCR into cities including Pune, Lucknow, Dehradun and Vizag one of the fastest retail scale-ups in Indian fine jewellery, and a genuinely national footprint. The new capital will fuel the next phase of this expansion. Aukera occupies the premium end of India's lab-grown diamond market, built around a simple idea: the better diamond. Every Aukera diamond is of the highest grades, certified to the most exacting global standards, and crafted into fine jewellery featuring original, in-house designs and the brand's trademarked cuts. It is a promise brought to life by a design and craft organisation that draws on global talent, and carried publicly by acclaimed actor Taapsee Pannu, the Face of the Brand. For Aukera's customers, grown diamonds are a deliberate upgrade to a finer, larger, better-designed diamond. That confidence extends to how the brand stands behind every piece. Aukera operates company-owned experience stores across the country and backs every purchase with assured buyback and exchange the kind of guarantee that has traditionally separated enduring jewellery houses from the rest. "This category will not be won on discounting it will be won on trust, quality and brand," said Lisa Mukhedkar, Founder & CEO, Aukera . "This capital lets us take that promise to many more cities, faster." "We believe this category will require the top player to invest at least Rs. 1,000 crore, as the mining industry resets to recognise the permanence of grown diamonds," said Kumar Saurabh, Co-founder, Aukera . "We are building the balance sheet and the business to be that player." With the fresh capital, Aukera will accelerate store openings in new and existing markets, continue investing in design, product innovation and talent, and strengthen the omnichannel infrastructure that supports its retail engine. Founded in 2023 by Lisa Mukhedkar and Kumar Saurabh, Aukera is backed by Peak XV Partners, Fireside Ventures, Sparrow Capital, Prath Ventures and Alteria Capital, and is on track towards its stated ambition of becoming a Rs. 1,000 crore brand.
