Raising Superstars Launches 'Prodigy Pathway' - India's First AI-Powered, In-Home Preschool
Prodigy Pathway , a first-of-its-kind, AI-powered, in-home preschool program designed for children aged 06. Combining certified educators, a proprietary curriculum, and AI-driven personalization, the program aims to fundamentally transform early childhood education in India - without screens, pressure, or traditional classroom constraints. The launch addresses a long-standing gap in the education system. Research indicates that75% of brain development occurs by age 2 and 90% by age 6, yet structured education in India typically begins only after this critical window. Early learning also receives just23% of total education funding, leaving parents with limited, often ineffective options. Existing alternatives such as playschools, online classes, and physical learning centres - fall short in different ways. Playschools often function as daycares with inconsistent curriculum delivery, online programs rely on screen exposure that experts discourage for young children, and physical centres struggle to deliver personalization at scale. Prodigy Pathway is designed to bridge this gap through ahome-based, deeply personalized learning model. At the core of Prodigy Pathway is a simple but powerful approach:bringing structured early education directly into the childs home. RS-certified Prodigy Coaches conduct4560 minute sessions, complete with all materials and activities. Each session is dynamically tailored by an AI engine that adapts to the childs age, milestones, and developmental trajectory, while remaining aligned to a structured curriculum framework. In contrast to the broader EdTech ecosystem, Prodigy Pathway takes a deliberately contrarian stance:no screens, no testing, and no pressure. The model emphasizes process-led development, where outcomes emerge naturally through consistent, joyful engagement rather than performance-driven metrics. Early adoption has shown strong traction in the Mumbai pilot market, with 15x revenue growth over seven months despite deliberately limited enrolment slots each month. Raising Superstars brings a strong pedigree of documented outcomes, with 1,000+ long-form parent testimonials capturing results such as early reading (as young as age 3), bilingual speech development, photographic memory in toddlers, strong socio-emotional skills, and enhanced creativity and problem-solving abilities. Beyond child development, the initiative also creates a significant social impact opportunity. Raising Superstars plans to recruit, train, and certify 2,000+ women as Prodigy Coaches across 15+ cities , enabling large-scale employment while maintaining high standards of delivery. Co-founder of Raising Superstars The first six years of a childs life are the most important of their entire existence and weve been leaving them to chance. Prodigy Pathway changes that. Were bringing the worlds topmost early childhood curriculum directly into homes, powered by AI, delivered by remarkable humans with zero screens and zero pressure , said Raghav Himatsingka, Co-founder & CEO, Raising Superstars . Currently piloted in Mumbai, Prodigy Pathway aims to expand to15+ cities across India, with a target of reaching18,000+ active childrenand delivering over1 million sessions annually within the next three years, powered by AI-driven scheduling and logistics. With Prodigy Pathway, Raising Superstars is not just launching a new program, it is introducing a new category of early education: one that ispersonalized, home-based, human-led, and built for the most critical years of life. About Raising Superstars Raising Superstars is a Mumbai-based early childhood education company on a mission to unlock the extraordinary potential in every child aged 06 before the brains critical learning window closes forever. With over 500,000 families across 150+ countries, it is a globally recognized company in the early years space. The company is a Shark Tank India deal winner, and ranked #4 in TIMEs Global EdTech list (2024).

The Bajaj Group, one of Indias largest conglomerates by market cap at US$ 148 billion, serves 1 in 3 Indian households across automobiles, financial services, consumer electricals and engineering A Century of trust: The Bajaj Group traces its roots to its founder Jamnalal Bajaj, freedom fighter, social reformer, philanthropist, industrialist, and considered the fifth adopted son of Mahatma Gandhi, who set up the Groups first office in Mumbai (then-Bombay) in 1926. The Bajaj Group , one of Indias oldest family businesses and among its largest conglomerates by market cap at $USD 148 billion, today commemorated 100 years in business with Honble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi extending his greetings on a milestone that traces Indias own arc from the freedom movement to its global economic rise. L to R: Shekhar Bajaj, Chairman and Managing Director, Bajaj Electricals Ltd., Nirav Bajaj, CEO & MD, Bajaj Integrated Health System Pvt. Ltd., Rajiv Bajaj, Managing Director, Bajaj Auto Ltd., Niraj Bajaj, Chairman, Bajaj Auto Ltd.; Chairman & Managing Director, Mukand Ltd., Sanjiv Bajaj, Chairman & Managing Director, Bajaj Finserv Ltd. Founded in 1926 in Mumbai (then-Bombay) by Jamnalal Bajaj, a freedom fighter, social reformer, philanthropist, industrialist and considered the fifth adopted son of Mahatma Gandhi, the Bajaj Group serves one in three Indian households and employs over 130,000 employees. With over 100 companies, exports to over 100 countries, and an upcoming foray into healthcare, the Bajaj Group has built one of Indias most trusted brands across automobiles, financial services, consumer electronics and engineering. Some of its listed companies include Bajaj Auto, Bajaj Finserv, Bajaj Holdings & Investment, Bajaj Finance, Bajaj Housing Finance, Bajaj Electricals and Mukand. In a message to the Bajaj family recognising the Bajaj Groups contributions to nation-building , Honble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, said, On the occasion of the centenary of the Bajaj Group, I extend my greetings and best wishes to everyone associated with this milestone. A hundred years is a significant journey for any institution. It reflects not only longevity, but also the ability to adapt to changing times, contribute to economic growth and remain relevant across generations. Started under the leadership of Shri Jamnalal Bajaj, the Bajaj Group has been a part of Indias industrial and economic landscape through many phases of our nations development. It has grown into a diversified company with operations across various sectors, which serve customers both in India and across the world. Over the decades, the Bajaj Group has played an important role in nation-building by creating jobs, fostering innovation and supporting community development. Milestones such as this are an opportunity to reflect on key contributions, as well as to renew commitment towards growth, sustainability and inclusive progress. India is moving forward with new aspirations in manufacturing, innovation and global competitiveness. Institutions with deep roots and experience such as the Bajaj Group have an important role to play in shaping the journey towards Viksit Bharat by 2047. Greetings to everyone at the Bajaj Group once again on this memorable occasion. I am confident that the years ahead will be about continued progress and meaningful contributions to the nations development. The Bajaj Groups social impact efforts, focused on youth skilling and employment, child health, education and protection, have positively impacted the lives of over 10 million beneficiaries. The centenary celebration at the National Sports Club of India, Mumbai, brought together family members, captains of industry, Union and State Ministers, political leaders, celebrities and partners. The evening traced the familys journey, from its role in Indias freedom struggle, through the shift from trading to manufacturing and financial services, to new-age technologies that its businesses lead today. Highlights included addresses by the Bajaj family, a specially composed live performance by Grammy award winner and globally acclaimed composer Ricky Kej and his troupe, the screening of Kathni Karni Eksi , a film on Jamnalal Bajaj and Mahatma Gandhi, directed by Rajkumar Hirani, and the unveiling of the 100 years of Bajaj logo. Speaking on the occasion: Niraj Bajaj, Chairman, Bajaj Auto, in his address themed India and Bajaj, said, As a family, we thank our Honble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi for his wishes and encouraging words. The story of Bajaj and the story of India have never really been separate. Indias journey towards self-reliance did not begin recently. It began nearly a century ago when visionary Indians believed that Bharat must build for itself, produce for itself, and stand on its own feet. One of those pioneers was Jamnalalji our founder. His philosophy of common good over individual gain shaped our decisions across generations. His spouse, Jankideviji Bajaj, was Indias first lady recipient of the Padma Vibhushan. Jamnalaljis philosophy was taken forward successfully by his sons Kamalnayan Bajaj and Ramkrishna Bajaj, both brought up under the eye of Mahatma Gandhi, during their formative years. Thereafter, Rahul Bajaj, a giant among corporate leaders, established a result oriented yet human, ambitious yet honest, organization. As industries grew and capabilities expanded, one thought remained constant: Build in India. Build for India. And build India . Rajiv Bajaj, Managing Director, Bajaj Auto, in his address themed Globalisation said, What we say and what we do must always be the same. And perhaps that is why the Bajaj journey did not become just a story of growth. It became a story oftrust. Today, Bajaj Auto is not just one of Indias largest two-wheeler companies. It is among the top three globally. Our vehicles are sold in over 100 countries in Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia. ThePulsarbrand today stands with global players, not behind them. And when we partnered withKTM, an iconic Austrian motorcycle company it was not just a business deal. This shows that an Indian company is not just a follower, it is a co-creator of global brands. It also proves that legacy and innovation can walk together. Todays India does not only participate, but it also competes in the global economy . Nirav Bajaj, CEO, Bajaj Integrated Health System, in his address themed Inclusive Development said, Jamnalalji believed that business was not separate from society. He said business should be pursued with a view to benefit the poor. Within the family, we often say that society must profit from profit itself. That has meant ensuring that growth reaches even the poorest of the poor. Bajaj Beyond, our CSR initiative, is the next expression of a 100-year philosophy. An effort to take everything we have learned and build models that can scale across India. Across education, livelihoods and sustainability, with a clear ambition to enable and impact over 2 crore young Indians in the next five years. Because if the first 100 years were about building institutions, the next 100 will be about building ecosystems . Sanjiv Bajaj, Chairman & Managing Director, Bajaj Finserv , in his address themed India and the Next 100said, My father Rahul Bajaj would often say - I firmly believe in the Idea of India, in our countrys diversity and in its enterprising youth. The next chapter of Indias rise will be written by technology and innovation, and most importantly by the youth. At Bajaj, we dont see AI only as a technology trend. We see it as a powerful force that will further financial inclusion. Because access to finance actually means access to opportunity. For over a century, we have viewed our businesses through this same lens: as platforms built to offer hope, freedom, and entrepreneurship. We believe that when potential is given a stage, the entire country moves forward. Shekhar Bajaj, Chairman & Managing Director, Bajaj Electricals , in his address on Jamnalal Bajajs values and the social impact he created, said, Jamnalaljis work spanned social equity, education for women and children, rural upliftment, promotion of khadi, abolition of purdah, dowry, child marriage and whole-hearted participation in the freedom movement. Should success be measured only in numbers and scale? Or in lives touched, values upheld, and communities strengthened. As we step into the next 100 years of Bajaj perhaps the answer to that question will define the institution we continue to build.

I'd Never Say No To The Team,' Says KKR's Raghuvanshi On His Transformation To Wicketkeeper
When Angkrish Raghuvanshi: When Angkrish Raghuvanshi whipped off the bails in a flash to stump Pathum Nissanka off the bowling of Anukul Roy, Delhi Capitals' last realistic hope of resisting Kolkata Knight Riders evaporated at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on the night of May 8. It was a stumping only a wicketkeeper with years of experience could execute. The small irony, here, is that, until September last year, Angkrish was not one. Behind Angkrishs transformation as a keeper for KKR in IPL 2026 was a project planned by Abhishek Nayar, his long-time mentor and the sides head coach and executed by fielding coach Dishant Yagnik. What motivated me was my team asked me if I could do a job for them and I'd never say no to that. But it was very tough at the start because I've never done it before and I didn't believe that I could do it. But our fielding coach, Dishant Yagnik, made me work tirelessly throughout the day and night. He made me do drills and was confident that I'll be able to do it. If he's confident like that, then it just helps me in also believing that I can do it and I really want to thank him for that, Angkrish told IANS in an exclusive conversation ahead of KKRs clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, to be played in Raipur on Wednesday. The pre-season fitness data was encouraging: Angkrish's flexibility and agility caught notice, and he topped Nayar's circuit test, designed to simulate high-intensity movement under fatigue. The bones of a keeper, it seemed, were already there. With the backing from KKR support staff, Angkrish has managed to do a decent job with the gloves, apart from being KKRs leading run-getter in this season with 269 runs in ten games. I think it's very important to have some people who are calm in the dressing room because most people are having that adrenaline of the game and it's not easy to think objectively and with a calm head at that time, a lot of emotions happen. So when you have people like that who can do the thinking for you, then it becomes very easy and they communicate a lot with us and if we can listen to them, I think it's a blessing for us to have them, he added. The dressing room's approach in the tournament, as per Angkrish, has removed the weight of pressure rather than adding more of it. Actually, I think I'm blessed to have this team and this support staff around me. They say that 'Don't think about being responsible too much, just think about enjoying the game and trying to do what you feel is right for the team.' When someone says that, obviously from inside you want to do well for the team, but when someone says that, it takes the pressure off and just helps me do my work. So it's a great environment to have, he added. The coaches he credits most deeply for making his life smooth in KKR are Nayar and Yagnik. For Abhishek sir, I've always said that not just my batting, but every growing phase and learning in my life on the field and off the field comes from him. He's, I think, the most important person in my life. Dishant sir has been great in terms of just making me do drills every day and not letting me have a day off. I think it's helping me on the field. Just the few lessons that I've learned from both of them are just how important it is to always work hard because I'm given this opportunity and not many people are. So I have to be grateful for it and I have to do something about it. The physical toll is real, and he does not underplay it. I think wicket keeping and batting are already hectic enough as it is, so I can have my cheat meals whenever I want. But also the physio Dr. Prashant (Panchada) and Dr. Abhishek (Sawant) and the trainers CD (Chris Donaldson) and Sagar (VM) sir - they're great with just telling me exactly what I need because it's a very hectic schedule. So you can't over train and under train - it has to be the perfect amount and I leave it all up to them and then they tell me what to do and I trust them completely, he added. KKR extending their winning streak to four games after a difficult six-game stretch came in New Delhi, the place where Angkrish spent his formative years before moving to Mumbai to be under Nayar. Having experienced the best of both cities, Angkrish has settled well into the Mumbaikar identity. I think that was one of the most important moves of my career when I moved to Mumbai because when I played there, I saw how many people are working hard to play there and it just motivated me every day to obviously work harder than them, but also to be grateful for the life that I have and I think that's why I say that I'm a Bombaywallah because of the culture of cricket there and everything I've seen while growing up. So now I embrace that title fully. As for what lies ahead, especially with KKR still in the reckoning for a miraculous entry into the playoffs, the ambition is kept deliberately small by Angkrish. I'm not someone who likes to keep goals. I just think that next match, we just have to win the next match and I think it's working also (right now). I think that was one of the most important moves of my career when I moved to Mumbai because when I played there, I saw how many people are working hard to play there and it just motivated me every day to obviously work harder than them, but also to be grateful for the life that I have and I think that's why I say that I'm a Bombaywallah because of the culture of cricket there and everything I've seen while growing up. So now I embrace that title fully. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The stumping of Nissanka was the moment that caught everyones eye about Angkrishs keeping. But it was Yagnik's drills and Nayar's quiet conviction, along with Angkrish never saying no to any role that made it turn into reality. For someone referred to as KKR's starboy, donning keeper's gloves were never about adding a skill it was about answering a call KKR needed and hes simply doing that. Article Source: IANS

'We Didnt Execute The Skills Needed In Last 5 Overs', Admits PBKS Spin Bowling Coach Bahutule
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Punjab Kings spin-bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule admitted his side failed to execute properly in the final overs and paid the price for dropped catches as Delhi Capitals pulled off a record chase to stay alive in the IPL 2026 playoff race. Capitals chased down 211 with three wickets in hand against PBKS at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium on Monday. Despite reducing DC to 14/2 and later 38/3, PBKS were unable to close out the match as captain Axar Patel smashed 56, David Miller struck 51, and debutant Madhav Tiwari played a decisive cameo of 18 off eight balls to guide the visitors to 216/7. Reflecting on the defeat, Bahutule admitted that his side had the game under control before losing momentum in the death overs, Ive said this before, also, there are going to be lots of ups and downs. There are going to be times where youve almost won the game, and you lose, we almost had the game with us, but we didnt execute the skills needed in the last five overs. So all we need to do is just keep this aside and move ahead and play the next three games to the best of our ability, Bahutule said at the post-match press conference. PBKS' fielding lapses also proved costly during DC's recovery. Arshdeep Singh dropped Tristan Stubbs at long-on, while another chance offered by Axar Patel went down at deep square leg. Bahutule admitted those missed opportunities hurt the team badly. If we had caught two catches, I dont think they would have maybe reached the target, but it would have been very difficult for them and maybe won the game by 20 runs, he said. The contest also marked the first time in IPL history that neither team used a spinner during an innings, with both captains relying entirely on pace on a seaming Dharamsala surface. Explaining the reason behind the move, Bahutule said that the surface consistently favoured fast bowling throughout the innings, and it was wise to use the pacers.

TISS to form international academic platform for collaborative multidisciplinary research
Mumbai, May 11: The Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) on Monday said it is forming 'Global Social Science Association' (GSSA) to serve as an international academic platform for exchanging ideas and conducting collaborative multidisciplinary research. The GSSA will be formed in partnership with approximately 25 participating universities from both from India and overseas during the 3-day Global Colloquium on 'Building Bridges in Social Sciences' that began here during the day, TISS Vice Chancellor Prof Badri Narayan Tiwari said at the inaugural function. The Association will promote partnerships among universities and institutions associated with TISS on issues concerning the Global South, including poverty, health, human development, migration, peace, geopolitics, and diplomacy. It will also encourage dialogue among scholars and practitioners across regions and knowledge systems. While the Secretariat will initially be hosted by the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, it will function on a rotating model to ensure broader global participation and shared institutional ownership. Tiwari said TISS is uniquely positioned to build intellectual bridges between the Global North and the Global South through meaningful collaborations grounded in India's social realities and developmental experiences. Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who inaugurated the colloquium, said TISS can play the crucial role of social sciences in addressing contemporary global challenges such as Artificial Intelligence, climate change, inequality, migration, and social conflict by ensuring that development remains ethical, inclusive, and human-centric. Human capability is advancing faster than social understanding, which underlines the urgent need for social sciences to provide deeper ethical and societal perspectives in an age of rapid technological transformation, Pradhan said. Higher Education secretary Vineet Joshi, also present on the occasion, said the government envisions a knowledge-centred society where social science research contributes directly to sustainable development, inclusive governance, social justice, and community resilience. Interdisciplinary, action-oriented, and community-engaged research plays an important role in addressing global challenges such as inequality, migration, climate change, conflict, and rapid urbanisation, he said. Key Education Ministry initiatives like SPARC, GYAN, and VAJRA are aimed at strengthening international academic collaboration, capacity building, and evidence-based policymaking, Joshi added.
