Union Bank of India Selects Leegality's Consentin Platform for DPDP Compliance
Leegality has been engaged by Union Bank of India, one of India's largest public sector banks, to implement its Consentin platform as part of the Banks DPDP compliance. The engagement marks one of the more significant DPDP compliance rollouts in India's public sector banking space to date. Union Bank of India Engages Leegality's Consentin for DPDP Compliance The DPDP Act (Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023) is a new data protection law that strictly regulates how businesses in India can collect, process and use customer data. The Act and accompanying rules have a compliance deadline of May 13, 2027. Every business that handles personal data in India will soon be required to implement systems for consent, data processing, and governance. Banks handle large volumes of sensitive financial and personal data, making early action on the DPDP Act especially important for the sector. With the compliance deadline approaching, banks are increasingly expected to have their consent and data governance systems ready well ahead of time. The engagement has already shown initial results, with Cookie Consent being successfully implemented on Union Bank of Indias Corporate Website. Cookies are small files stored by a visitor's browser to remember preferences and track behaviour and under the DPDP Act, they can only be set after a visitor gives clear, informed consent. With the DPDP deadline approaching, businesses across India are now racing to ensure that cookie practices are compliant - making it an early and visible marker of a company's broader compliance efforts. The implementation of Consent Management and Data Discovery capabilities is currently underway across the Banks applications to support its broader data privacy and compliance initiatives. Consentin consolidates all of an enterprise's DPDP needs - spanning consent management, privacy notices, data retention and withdrawal, cookie compliance, privacy assessments, third-party risk management, and regulatory breach reporting - into a single, easy-to-use platform. A unified dashboard gives compliance teams complete visibility into consent status and data flows across the organisation. It can be deployed on-prem or as a SaaS solution, depending on the enterprise's infrastructure. " We're proud to be trusted by an institution of Union Bank of India's scale with its DPDP compliance foundation, " said Shivam Singla, CEO, Leegality . " We believe their move will help set the pace for how the wider banking sector approaches privacy compliance ." About Consentin Consentin is a DPDP compliance platform, developed by Leegality, built to meet the full spectrum of privacy compliance needs for Indian enterprises through one unified, secure platform. Leegality is a document infrastructure platform that is used by more than 5000 Indian companies to build paperless workflows for agreements, forms and other legal documents. Every year, Leegality processes over 50 million eSigns and 3 million eStamps. About Union Bank of India Union Bank of India is one of the country's leading public sector banks, headquartered in Mumbai and established on November 11, 1919.

CS reviews formulation of cancer care strategy for J&K
Srinagar, Jul 13: Chief Secretary, Atal Dulloo on Monday chaired a high-level meeting to assess the initial formulation of a comprehensive Cancer Care Strategy for the Union Territory aimed at creating an integrated, accessible and technology-enabled cancer care ecosystem across Jammu & Kashmir. Among others, the meeting was attended by Director, SKIMS; Mission Director, National Health Mission; Director, Tata Memorial Centre (TMC), Chandigarh; Principals of Government Medical Colleges; Director, Health Services, Kashmir/Jammu; Faculty Members of GMCs and other senior officers of the Health & Medical Education Department. The strategy, prepared by the Health & Medical Education Department in consultation with leading oncology experts and national institutions, envisages a holistic framework covering cancer prevention, early detection, screening, diagnosis, treatment, palliative care, research, capacity building and digital health interventions. Reviewing the proposed roadmap, the Chief Secretary observed that cancer is emerging as a major public health challenge and called for a coordinated, evidence-based and patient-centric response to improve health outcomes across the Union Territory. He directed the department to ensure time-bound implementation of all proposed interventions through effective institutional coordination, regular monitoring and measurable outcomes. The Chief Secretary underscored the importance of establishing a robust preventive oncology framework across all Government Medical Colleges in the Union Territory to promote early detection and timely intervention against cancer. He stressed the need for simultaneously strengthening both human resource capacity and the requisite healthcare infrastructure so that quality diagnostic and treatment facilities are made available closer to the patients, thereby minimizing the need for travelling to distant facilities. He directed the Health Department to undertake a phased capacity-building programme by training the required specialist manpower, including Radiation Safety Officer (RSO)-certified personnel, while concurrently upgrading the necessary medical equipment and infrastructure in all medical colleges. He observed that these interventions would significantly enhance the quality and accessibility of cancer care services across Jammu & Kashmir. The Chief Secretary further instructed that the entire strategy should be implemented in a well-defined, phase-wise manner over the coming years to ensure equitable distribution of oncology facilities across the Union Territory. He also directed each of the expert committees constituted under the Cancer Care Strategy to prepare detailed, time-bound implementation plans within their respective domains. He said that these implementation plans should be examined and harmonised by the Apex Committee chaired by Dr. Sudeep Gupta, Director, Tata Memorial Centre (TMC), Mumbai and other experts here to ensure their technical soundness, feasibility and effective execution. Highlighting the strategic collaboration with the Tata Memorial Centre, the Chief Secretary observed that the partnership with one of the country's premier cancer care institutions would provide invaluable technical guidance, facilitate adoption of national best practices and significantly accelerate the implementation of the Cancer Care Strategy on the ground, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes across Jammu & Kashmir The meeting was informed by MD, NHM, Akriti Sagar that a Steering Committee-cum-State Cancer Registry Coordination Unit has already been constituted to establish a robust Population-Based Cancer Registry (PBCR) and Hospital-Based Cancer Registry (HBCR) network across Jammu & Kashmir. She added that the initiative would facilitate systematic collection of cancer incidence data, strengthen disease surveillance and support evidence-based planning under the National Cancer Registry Programme. The MD further informed that following the notification declaring cancer as a notifiable disease in the Union Territory, the Government has initiated the process for executing a Memorandum of Understanding with the Indian Council of Medical Research-National Institute of Non-Communicable Disease Epidemiology (ICMR-NIE), Bengaluru, for technical support in establishing a modern cancer registry system here. The meeting also reviewed the existing oncology infrastructure available in the Union Territory, including the State Cancer Institute at Government Medical College Jammu, SKIMS Soura, Government Medical College Srinagar, AIIMS Vijaypur, newly established Government Medical Colleges and district-level Day Care Chemotherapy Centres established under the National Health Mission. To strengthen diagnostic capabilities, the strategy proposes establishment of advanced Molecular Oncology Laboratories across Government Medical Colleges equipped with modern technologies including molecular pathology, immunohistochemistry, genomic profiling and next-generation sequencing. The meeting was apprised that proposals have already been submitted to ICMR under the DiaMONDs Project for establishment of molecular oncology laboratories in selected medical colleges while additional funding support is being explored for expansion across the UT. The strategy also recommends augmentation of cancer imaging facilities through phased establishment of mammography units, PET-CT scanners, MRI facilities, gamma cameras and endoscopy services to ensure timely diagnosis and improve early detection of various cancers. The Chief Secretary reviewed proposals for strengthening cancer treatment services through expansion of radiotherapy infrastructure, enhancement of surgical oncology services, establishment of additional Bone Marrow Transplant and Stem Cell Transplant facilities and creation of multidisciplinary oncology teams across major tertiary healthcare institutions. The meeting further reviewed proposals for extensive Information, Education and Communication (IEC) campaigns through print, electronic and digital media, schools, Panchayati Raj Institutions, Anganwadi Centres and community-based platforms to promote awareness regarding cancer risk factors, warning signs, screening services and healthy lifestyle practices. As proposed the Cancer Care Strategy seeks to build an integrated continuum of care covering prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, palliative care and research, with the ultimate objective of reducing cancer burden, improving survival outcomes and ensuring equitable access to quality oncology services for the people of Jammu & Kashmir.

Inside India's Luxury Housing Boom: What Affluent Homebuyers Are Choosing
India's luxury residential market is witnessing unprecedented momentum, driven by rising incomes, increasing wealth creation, and evolving buyer aspirations. Today's affluent homebuyers are no longer investing in premium residences merely as status symbols. Instead, they are seeking homes that offer curated lifestyles, wellness, exclusivity, and long-term value. This shift is reflected in the growing demand for thoughtfully designed developments such as MRG Crown , where contemporary design, premium amenities, and strategic location come together to meet the expectations of discerning buyers. Inside India's Luxury Housing Boom: What the Wealthy Are Buying The luxury residential sector has expanded significantly over the past few years. Alongside India's robust economic growth, the increasing number of High Net Worth Individuals (HNIs) and Ultra High Net Worth Individuals (UHNIs) has fuelled demand for premium homes. Investors are also viewing luxury real estate as a resilient asset class that offers both capital appreciation and wealth preservation, signalling a clear shift in buyer preferences. According to Mordor Intelligence, the Indian luxury housing market is expected to grow from USD 38.02 billion in 2024 to USD 101.92 billion by 2029, underscoring the sector's immense growth potential. Recent market data also reflects this momentum. In the first quarter of 2024, nearly 28,020 new luxury homes were launched across India's top cities. Luxury homes, typically priced above Rs 1.5 crore, accounted for around 21 percent of total residential sales, with approximately 27,070 units sold during the quarter. These numbers demonstrate the resilience of the premium housing segment despite global economic uncertainties. What Affluent Buyers Are Looking For The definition of luxury has evolved considerably. Buyers today expect far more than expansive floor plans or premium addresses. They are seeking integrated lifestyle experiences centred around wellness, sustainability, privacy, technology, and community living. High-end apartments and condominiums continue to witness strong demand, with their share in quarterly sales rising from 5 percent in Q1 2022 to 11 percent in Q1 2024. Developments in prime locations offering world-class amenities, wellness facilities, green spaces, concierge services, and smart home features are increasingly preferred by affluent buyers. Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) have also emerged as a significant force in India's luxury housing market. Their investments in Indian real estate reached approximately USD 13.1 billion in 2023, and by 2025, NRIs are expected to account for nearly one-fourth of total real estate investments in the country. Their preference for branded, professionally managed, and future-ready residential developments continues to strengthen demand in the premium segment. At the very top end of the market, ultra-luxury housing is witnessing remarkable growth. During the first eight months of 2024, 25 homes priced above Rs 40 crore were sold across India, generating sales worth Rs 2,443 crore. Mumbai accounted for 21 of these transactions, while Gurugram also emerged as a strong performer. According to Anarock, properties priced above Rs 40 crore registered a 2 percent appreciation, while homes valued above Rs 100 crore recorded a 14 percent increase in prices. This reflects the growing appetite among India's wealthiest buyers for exclusive, limited-edition residences that combine prestige with long-term investment potential. Beyond primary residences, holiday homes, farmhouses, and luxury villas are becoming increasingly attractive. Approximately one-fourth of luxury buyers are investing in holiday homes, while nearly one-fifth prefer farmhouses, driven by the desire for spacious living, flexible work environments, and diversified real estate portfolios. Emerging Luxury Investment Destinations India's luxury housing growth story is no longer confined to a single city. Multiple destinations are attracting affluent buyers based on economic activity, infrastructure development, and lifestyle offerings. Gurugram has firmly established itself as one of India's most dynamic luxury real estate destinations. Strong corporate demand, world-class infrastructure, excellent connectivity, and a growing inventory of premium developments have propelled the city to the forefront of luxury housing. The city also witnessed landmark ultra-luxury transactions during 2024, including a residential deal valued at nearly Rs 95 crore. Within this landscape, projects such as MRG Crown reflect the changing expectations of luxury homebuyers by focusing on quality construction, thoughtfully designed living spaces, premium amenities, and an elevated lifestyle experience that extends beyond the home itself. Mumbai continues to dominate India's luxury housing market, accounting for nearly half of the country's luxury inventory. Prestigious neighbourhoods such as Altamount Road and Bandra remain preferred destinations for high-value residential investments. Hyderabad is also emerging as a strong luxury market, particularly in locations such as Jubilee Hills and Banjara Hills. Meanwhile, Goa and Alibaug continue to attract affluent buyers looking for luxury villas and second homes that combine lifestyle aspirations with long-term appreciation potential. The Road Ahead India's luxury housing market is entering a new phase of sustained growth. Rising disposable incomes, expanding entrepreneurial wealth, favourable demographics, infrastructure-led development, and increasing global confidence in India's economy are creating strong fundamentals for long-term expansion. Luxury homes today are no longer viewed solely as symbols of success. They have become strategic assets that offer financial security, lifestyle enhancement, and legacy creation. As buyer expectations continue to evolve, developers who focus on design excellence, wellness, sustainability, and customer experience will shape the next chapter of India's premium housing story. For projects like MRG Crown , this transformation presents an opportunity to deliver not just premium residences, but thoughtfully curated living environments that align with the aspirations of India's new generation of affluent homebuyers. As cities such as Gurugram, Mumbai, and Hyderabad continue to lead this growth, India's luxury real estate sector is well positioned to remain one of the country's most attractive long-term investment destinations.
