Life lesson of the day by Niccol Machiavelli: Niccol Machiavelli advises that success often stems from strategic thinking and understanding situations, rather than brute force. He suggests that a calculated approach, involving careful planning and adaptation, can achieve better outcomes than direct confrontation.

Like a bird building its nest twig by twig, humans achieve their goals through small and consistent actions.

Following its participation at the India International Cargo Show (IICS) 2026, held in New Delhi from June 04th–06th, 2026, Parekh Global today announced its strategic transition into a unified global platform, marking a defining milestone in positioning the organisation for accelerated international expansion, governance-led scale, and technology-driven transformation. L-R: Yogesh Parekh, Naresh Parekh and Yash Parekh, Directors, Parekh Global The India International Cargo Show (IICS) is one of India's leading logistics, cargo, and supply chain industry events, bringing together policymakers, logistics providers, freight forwarders, infrastructure developers, technology innovators, and global trade stakeholders to discuss emerging opportunities, industry challenges, and the future of integrated logistics. The event serves as a key platform for fostering collaboration, showcasing innovations, and strengthening India's position in global supply chains. The move represents a structural evolution of the legacy enterprise into an integrated global identity designed to enhance operational agility, strengthen compliance frameworks, and align more closely with shifting global trade dynamics and evolving client expectations. As supply chains realign and regulatory landscapes grow increasingly complex, the company is restructuring to operate with greater cohesion and responsiveness across markets. “This is not merely a transition exercise; it is a strategic recalibration for the future,” said Mr. Naresh Parekh, Director, Parekh Global . “For over 70 years, Parekh legacy has been deeply rooted in India’s trade and logistics ecosystem, building a legacy founded on trust, resilience and expertise. Today, we are leveraging that strong Indian foundation to scale confidently into global markets. As international trade corridors evolve and client expectations become more sophisticated, we are expanding our geographic reach, upgrading our technology infrastructure, and actively evaluating strategic acquisitions to align with global benchmarks. India remains a significant growth engine for us, but our vision now extends far beyond domestic boundaries. We are strengthening our talent pool, enhancing operational capabilities, and investing in advanced systems to ensure we not only meet but exceed international standards. Our goal is clear — to transform Parekh Global into a future-ready, globally competitive enterprise that delivers integrated, world-class solutions across markets.” The unveiling of Parekh Global marks the consolidation of diverse capabilities under a single global platform designed to drive operational efficiencies, standardise governance processes, and present a cohesive market-facing identity. The integrated structure is expected to enable faster decision-making, strengthen cross-border coordination, and support disciplined capital allocation, while preserving the entrepreneurial strengths that have long defined the organisation’s legacy. As geopolitical shifts reshape global trade and compliance requirements intensify across jurisdictions, Parekh Global is positioning itself as a structured, compliance-first enterprise capable of navigating volatility with resilience. Strengthened governance architecture and enhanced risk management frameworks form a central pillar of the transition. “Scale must be accompanied by structure,” said Mr. Yogesh Parekh, Director, Parekh Global . “Our evolution into Parekh Global strengthens our governance architecture while enhancing our ability to operate seamlessly across markets. This integrated model allows us to balance growth ambitions with robust oversight.” The company emphasised that the transition ensures continuity of leadership, operational teams, and long-standing client relationships. Existing stakeholders will experience seamless integration under the new identity, now supported by enhanced capabilities designed to foster long-term strategic partnerships rather than transactional engagements. Over the next five years, Parekh Global plans to expand into priority international markets, forge strategic partnerships, accelerate digital transformation initiatives, and deepen investments in leadership development and sustainable growth practices. The company aims to leverage India’s expanding role in global trade while building operational depth across key overseas regions. “Our objective is to build a globally integrated organisation that can scale responsibly,” Mr. Yash Parekh, Director, Parekh Global said. “We remain committed to delivering value with integrity while shaping an enterprise that reflects both our heritage and our forward-looking ambitions.” By combining legacy strength with structural modernisation, Parekh Global is seeking to position itself as a resilient Indian enterprise with growing global relevance. About Parekh Global Parekh Global is a legacy-driven enterprise with over 70 years of industry experience. The organisation has evolved into a unified global platform focused on governance-led growth, innovation, and client-centric service integration, with a long-term strategy centered on international expansion and digital transformation.

Indian Physician Launches India's First Doctor-Led Brain Wellness Programme for Seniors
As Indian families diligently monitor their parents' blood pressure, administer medications, and schedule cardiology appointments, one question consistently goes unasked: What are we doing for their brain? A team of physicians led by Dr. Sweta Sahu is determined to change that — one daily activity at a time. A doctor-led brain wellness initiative designed to support healthy ageing Their initiative, ActiveMind Daily — part of the healthcare venture BlueprintRx — is now inviting 50 founding families to join a 10-day pilot of a doctor-designed brain wellness programme built specifically for older adults in Indian homes. Simple, screen-free, and grounded in science, the programme delivers one short daily activity targeting memory, language, attention, reflection, and family connection. Filling a Need Families Don’t Know they have India's elderly population is expanding at an unprecedented rate — yet conversations around brain health prevention remain largely absent from everyday elder care. Clinically, conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease are routinely managed. Cognitive engagement, combating loneliness, and meaningful mental stimulation rarely receive the same attention — until decline becomes impossible to ignore. Built for Real Indian Families Unlike conventional wellness applications, ActiveMind Daily requires no login and no screen time from seniors. The programme is designed around the rhythms of Indian family life. Activities can be completed independently, with light family support, or through a brief phone call between a parent and an adult child living away from home. Daily prompts draw on culturally familiar themes — childhood festival memories, beloved songs, regional proverbs, and food traditions — crafted to feel like conversation, not clinical exercises. Reminders are delivered via WhatsApp or phone call, and progress is easy to track. Families who remain consistent through the first seven days receive a surprise gift. And if a day is missed, the programme accommodates catch-up sessions — because the goal, as the team emphasises, is rhythm, not perfection. A Doctor-led Team with a Long-term Commitment ActiveMind Daily is built by physicians who share a common belief: that brain health deserves the same everyday attention we give to the heart. Dr. Sweta Sahu, Founder, is a physician and researcher with research and clinical experience at Johns Hopkins, the Cleveland Clinic, and the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She is a recipient of the American Heart Association’s 2025 Paul Dudley White International Scholar Award and has contributed to over 100 publications spanning cardiovascular medicine, gastroenterology, and population health. "Brain wellness cannot wait for symptoms. Our goal is to make daily cognitive engagement as natural as a morning cup of chai — familiar, effortless, and something the whole family looks forward to.’” Dr. Sri Sravya Thungathurthi, Physician and Co-founder of ActiveMind Daily , combines clinical training with a strong interest in healthy aging and preventive medicine. Through her exposure to healthcare systems in both India and the United States, she became increasingly interested in how early, proactive approaches to health can improve quality of life long before disease develops. Through ActiveMind Daily, she is helping raise awareness and build practical tools that promote cognitive wellness and meaningful family engagement for older adults in India. “We designed these activities to meet families where they are—not in a clinic, but in their living rooms, around their dining tables, and in their everyday moments. Brain health is one of the most overlooked aspects of healthy ageing in India. In a world increasingly driven by short-form content, constant distractions, and passive consumption, we risk losing curiosity, creativity, and meaningful mental engagement. To me, ActiveMind Daily is a way to encourage a culture where keeping the mind active becomes a daily habit—not out of fear of decline, but as a celebration of lifelong learning, curiosity, and connection.” ActiveMind Daily is supported by an expanding network of doctors, young medical interns, and students of Indian origin studying in U.S. high schools who work alongside its physician leadership team to contribute to research, programme development, participant feedback, and ongoing improvements. Together, they help ensure the initiative continues to evolve, adapt, and remain deeply relevant to the real-world needs of Indian seniors and their families. The programme's activity framework is guided by evidence-based public health guidance on cognitive health and healthy ageing from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Institute on Ageing (NIA). Join the founding pilot The 10-day founding families pilot is now open and strictly limited to 50 families in the first batch. Families may begin with a free 30-second brain wellness check and sample three activities at no cost, or register directly through the ActiveMind Daily website. Website: activeminddaily.in/check

Pramerica Life Insurance today announced the launch of Pramerica Life Invest Shield, a hybrid life insurance plan that combines term-level life protection with a unit-linked investment component in a single policy. The plan is structured so that the life cover operates as a separate term insurance layer, while the investment component functions as a ULIP with nine fund options across equity, debt, and balanced allocations. Pramerica Life Insurance Launches 'Invest Shield' Invest Shield is designed for individuals aged in their early 30s to mid 40s who want both life protection and long-term wealth creation within a single policy, rather than managing a standalone term plan and a separate investment product. The plan offers a life cover of up to 100 times the annualised premium, though the actual multiple depends on the policyholder’s age at entry, chosen premium level, and policy term. Premium payment terms and policy duration are customisable. Key Features Upto 100x Life Cover : Financial protection through a life cover of up to 100 times the annualised premium, ensuring substantial coverage for the family throughout the policy tenure. Return of Charges : Return of mortality charges and premium allocation charges to the policyholder, helping enhance the overall fund value. Loyalty Boosters : Persistency boosters and maturity benefits that reward customers for remaining invested over the long term. Flexible Investment Options : Flexibility to choose between two investment strategies and nine fund options across equity, debt, and balanced allocations, catering to diverse risk profiles and investment preferences.

Pankaj Gupta, MD & CEO, Pramerica Life Insurance , said, “Pramerica Life Insurance Invest Shield reflects where we believe the life insurance conversation in India needs to go. For too long, customers have been asked to make a choice that should not exist - between protecting their family and building their wealth. Customers today think about their financial future as a whole. Pramerica Life Invest Shield is built for that mindset. This launch also reflects our commitment to listening closely to evolving customer needs and responding with solutions that are genuinely differentiated. We are at an exciting point in Pramerica Life's journey - three consecutive years of strong, quality growth across every pillar of our business. That foundation gives us both the confidence and the responsibility to bring genuinely differentiated products to market .” Karthik Chakrapani, Chief Business Officer, Pramerica Life Insurance , said, “ Pramerica Life Invest Shield has been designed for customers who are looking for a more integrated approach to financial planning — one that combines meaningful life protection with long-term wealth creation at a stage in life where both priorities become increasingly important. At Pramerica Life, we remain committed to expanding insurance access across India through solutions that are relevant to evolving customer needs and supported by a diversified distribution ecosystem. Through our channels Prahri and Param, catering to the armed forces and paramilitary services respectively, our agency network across Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets, broker and corporate agent relationships, and our direct-to-consumer channel, we are making Pramerica Life Invest Shield accessible to customers across markets and geographies through the mode of engagement that best aligns with their preferences and financial needs.

FTAs building a new trade architecture for Viksit Bharat
RAJESH AGARWAL Achieving the vision of a 'Viksit Bharat' requires sustaining a high rate of economic growth over the next two decades. Indias massive domestic market is a vital engine for this growth, but relying on it alone may not be sufficient. To achieve globally competitive scale and true technological transformation, India is integrating deeply with the global economy through a network of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). While WTO agreements provide the foundation for a rules-based global trading system, FTAs enable willing partners to pursue deeper integration in additional areas of interest, building on the WTO baseline. The 384 notified FTAs in force underscore their utility as critical drivers of economic integration and rule-making customized to partner countries. They are the institutional blueprint for securing crucial market access while protecting Indian businesses from the unpredictable winds of global geopolitical storms. Access to global economic opportunities is also essential for Indian businesses seeking the scale to emerge as global champions. But the gains are not limited to large businesses; FTAs open vital windows of opportunity for start-ups, MSMEs, farmers, fisherfolk, and Indian talent looking to monetize their skills on the world stage. The binding commitments cover tariffs, services market access, and transparent trade rules, delivering the certainty Indian businesses require to invest for the long term. India's trade negotiation strategy has matured significantly, focusing on complementary economies that serve as primary export markets for goods and services. A key objective of recent FTAs is securing a level playing field for Indian exporters in vital markets like the EU, the UK, and Australia. This parity is especially urgent for labour-intensive sectors such as textiles, apparel, and footwear, where Indian products have historically faced steep tariffs while competitors enjoyed duty-free access. India is also negotiating Trade Agreements with Canada, Israel, and blocs like the EaEU and MERCOSUR. Services are central to Indias export strategy and a core focus of its FTA negotiations. By locking in commitments on cross-border digital delivery, recent FTAs help drive investor confidence across the rapidly expanding Global Capability Center (GCC) ecosystem, tech startups, and digital innovators. Beyond digitally delivered services, FTAs have allowed India to innovate at the negotiating table, securing binding commitments that enhance mobility for Indian talent, especially its youth. Key achievements include mobility provisions and side-letters for students and professionals, frameworks like the India-UK Double Contributions Convention (DCC) to prevent dual social security taxation on temporary assignments, and mobility rights in niche areas such as yoga. A hallmark of India's next-generation FTAs is the recognition of the intrinsic link between trade and investment. By providing access to major global markets while easing the import of key manufacturing inputs, this network, combined with increasing demand, makes India a highly attractive destination for manufacturing and investment. Recent agreements go further by explicitly linking market access to investment outcomes. A prime example is the landmark India-EFTA agreement, which conditions market access for EFTA nations on a $100 billion FDI commitment and one million jobs in India. The IndiaNew Zealand FTA features comparable provisions, leveraging access to Indias vast consumer market in exchange for long-term investment commitments. Modern trade is no longer confined to tariffs; it requires navigating 21st-century dimensions with an equal focus on rules, including Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) measures, and Trade Facilitation (TF). India's next-generation FTAs actively engage with these frameworks. Product standards and other regulatory requirements frequently pose greater hurdles to market access than tariffs. Provisions for regulatory harmonization and cooperation within Indias FTAs offer structured, institutional mechanisms to mitigate these barriers for Indian exporters. Environmental and labour standards are emerging as potential barriers to trade, and not engaging with them is no longer an option. Indias new FTAs build cooperative arrangements to address these concerns, but not in a manner inimical to Indian interests. They assure global partners that India seeks competitive advantages through genuine innovation and scale, avoiding a ace to the bottom on standards. Indias FTA policy is not piecemeal or country-by-country. It intentionally targets complementary economies that together represent two-thirds of global GDP and 75% of global import demand. Crucially, the negotiation of these FTAs relies on continuous stakeholder engagement and a whole-of-government approach. This ensures trade policy is aligned with India's broader imperatives related to industrial development, innovation, and socio-economic progress, with agreements structured so that vulnerable sectors and populations remain protected. Specifically, FTAs include robust provisions to ensure that opening the Indian market does not cause disruptive shocks to domestic stakeholders. Liberalization in vulnerable and strategic sectors is phased over an extended period to allow local industries time to adjust. Several key sectors, including agriculture, are excluded judiciously to protect MSMEs and farmers, while safeguard measures stand ready against sudden import surges. The ultimate goal is a robust, synergistic, rules-based trading ecosystem covering the vast bulk of India's international trade. By developing deeply rooted investment and value-chain linkages, strategic FTAs will liberate Indian businesses to focus on what truly matters: expanding, innovating, and marketing, free from the friction of policy uncertainty and regulatory hurdles.

Swasth Bharat, Sashakt Bharat: 12 years of Health Care development
ANUPRIYA PATEL True health security means being as ready for tomorrow's threats as for today's Stronger health systems lead to higher economic productivity, greater workforce participation, and sustained long-term growth. Good health, therefore, is not only a social good but also a national asset - the foundation upon which human potential is built and national strength is measured. Health, therefore, is not only a social good but also a national asset, and every rupee invested in it is an investment in the nations people. Thus, Indias National Health Policy 2017 (NHP 2017) is aligned with the goal of achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and SDG 3, guided by a simple but powerful belief - healthcare should be within reach of every person. Its four pillars - Aligning with the goals, the National Health Mission supports States in delivering an integrated three-tier model of health systems with a two-way referral linkages across rural and urban areas, including vulnerable populations. At the primary level, Ayushman Arogya Mandir (AAM) provides comprehensive preventive, promotive, curative, rehabilitative, and palliative care health care services. eSanjeevani telemedicine platform ensures the availability of specialists connecting the community to the specialist through these AAM. And, a special Tele-MANAS platform, which has reached a cumulative 38.93 lakh contacts as on date. Connecting from AAM are the secondary facilities at the Community Health Centre (CHC)/ First Referral Unit (FRU) and District Hospital (DH) that serve as the first point of referral to provide in-person specialist and hospitalisation care, with tertiary institutions including medical colleges serving on the top of the apex to more complex and super-specialist services needs. This three-tier system is supported by escalation in Government health budget, with National Health Mission spending growing by 168% over the past decade, reflecting government's commitment to health as a national priority. The journey of Ayushman Arogya Mandir represents a significant expansion of comprehensive primary healthcare and the much required transition from a reactive to proactive care. The expansion from 6 to 12 comprehensive health packages is a structural response to India's changing demographic and epidemiological profile. As we navigate the dual challenge of aging population with a rising tide of non-communicable diseases, the expanded scope covers Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), mental health, elderly care, emergency services, and eye, ENT, and oral health, along with yoga and health promotion reflecting a system designed for the population India is becoming. As of May 2026, more than 1.8 lakh AAM are operationalised across country to provide doorstep healthcare services, and the scale of this expansion is visible through more than 120 crore OPD consultations at AAM, more than 70 crore eSanjeevani teleconsultations, and more than 46.1 crore wellness sessions promoting good health and well-being. At the primary care level, population-based screening for diabetes, hypertension, and common cancers, oral, breast, and cervical targets all adults above 30 years, making early detection a routine. This screening is an integral component of service delivery under Ayushman Arogya Mandir, integrating NCD prevention into comprehensive primary healthcare. The expansion of NCD services is a multi-layered approach to early detection, prevention, management, and treatment. Dedicated NCD clinics, Day Care Cancer Centres, Tertiary Care Cancer Centres, and State Cancer Institutes decentralised advanced oncology services and bring specialist care closer to the patient. Also, whole-of-government approach is applied for preventive activities. FSSAI promotes healthy eating habits; the Fit India Movement drives physical activity; and the Ministry of AYUSH advances yoga and wellness. Sustained public awareness campaigns and Health Day observances reinforce these efforts. Prime Minister Modi's personal appeal to reduce edible oil consumption by 10% underscores a simple but powerful conviction: that the fight against NCDs is won as much in households as in hospitals. To support the primary care expansion, a new cadre of Community Health Officers were introduced at the AAM level, bringing clinical and public health competence closer to the community. This expansion was mirrored at the doorstep, where the frontline network grew to over 10 lakh ASHAs linking the community with the health systems. Alongside expansion, India took on the harder challenge of transforming the standard of care itself. The National Quality Assurance Standards, indigenously developed and internationally certified, turned quality from an aspiration into an accountability. Over 65,000 public health facilities, including 54,926 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs, are now NQAS-certified. Further, laboratory standards for IPHLs embed rigour into the system. What made NQAS work was not the standard alone, but the ecosystem built around it LaQshya for maternal and newborn care, Kayakalp for cleanliness and infection control, and MusQan for child health. Together, they have made quality a baseline rather than a benchmark. The result is a system that does not just treat more people it treats them better. If primary care is the systems first promise, targeted interventions like National Sickle Cell Anaemia Elimination Mission and Pradhan Mantri National Dialysis Programme further reflects Governments commitment to reducing the OOPE across the country, with a cumulative savings of more than Rs. 10,102 crore to families who would otherwise have borne that burden alone. Putting peoples health into peoples hands, India strengthened its community platforms a deliberate, decentralised architecture that puts planning, monitoring, and accountability in local hands. Village Health, Sanitation and Nutrition Committees (VHSNCs), Jan Arogya Samitis (JAS), and Rogi Kalyan Samitis (RKS) have made representatives of Panchayati Raj Institutions and Urban Local Bodies active partners in health. In urban areas, Mahila Arogya Samitis (MAS) further deepen the focus by placing women at the centre of community outreach for transparency, accountability, and community voice for the trusted feedback loop. True health security means being as ready for tomorrow's threats as for today's. PM-ABHIM, launched in 2021 with an outlay of Rs. 64,180 crore, draws directly on the lessons of COVID-19 building surge capacity, strengthening laboratory networks, expanding real-time disease surveillance, and developing One Health research infrastructure. It is, in essence, turning hard lessons into durable public health architecture. When illness does require hospitalisation, Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY provides the financial cushion that prevents care from becoming catastrophic to the family. As the world's largest publicly funded health assurance scheme, it covers Rs. 5 lakh per family per year for secondary and tertiary care a protection extended in 2024 to all senior citizens above 70, regardless of income. Underlying all of these initiatives is a digital backbone without which a system of this scale cannot function. The Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission ABHA IDs, interoperable health registries, and unified health interfaces has made the records portable, access seamless, and delivery intelligent. Nearly 91 crore ABHA IDs have already been generated, with India progressing towards digital health systems. Taken together, free services, community-level diagnostics, front-line specialists, referral transport, dialysis, hospitalisation cover, and a digital backbone do not add up to a collection of schemes they add up to a system. The health gains are not accidental. They are what sustained, layered public investment looks like when it works. The results are no longer abstract; they are visible in Indias public health record. Maternal mortality has fallen from 254 per lakh live births in 2004-06 to 87 in 2022-24, meeting the NHP 2017 target. From 1990 to 2024, India cut MMR by 84% - nearly twice the global decline of 48% - and earned UNFPA recognition for leadership in maternal health and family planning. The broader picture tells the same story: as per the latest NFHS, fertility has reached 2.0, institutional deliveries have risen to 90.6%, and full immunisation now stands at 98.6%. These are signs of a system learning to prevent, detect, and respond. That is why Indias elimination milestones matter: maternal and neonatal tetanus in 2015, and trachoma as a public health problem in 2024 - making India only the third country in South-East Asia to do so. This is the larger lesson. NHP 2017 set the direction, NHM built the delivery infrastructure from Sub-Health Centres to tertiary hospitals, and Ayushman Bharat gave that system its four working pillars: AAMs for primary care, PM-JAY for financial protection, PM-ABHIM for resilience and infrastructure, and ABDM for the digital backbone. Togetherwith free medicines, diagnostics, transport, and dialysisthey amount to more than a collection of schemes. They form a national health shield for our people, and a reminder that public health, when treated as nation-building, can transform both lives and the future of the country.

T20 World Cup: India batter Jemimah Rodrigues said the teams triumph in the 2025 Womens ODI World Cup has instilled belief and hunger to win more global titles, adding that the approach in T20I cricket is about being smart in taking calculated risks and putting the opposition under pressure. India began their 2026 Womens T20 World Cup with a commanding 64-run win over Pakistan at Edgbaston and will next face the Netherlands at Headingley on Wednesday. What has happened with that World Cup win is that it has empowered us to be motivated to do even better. When you win one, and it may sound like a negative word, it's almost like an addiction; you want to win another one. It pushes you even more. And as a batter, it is just a shift in mindset. In T20 cricket, compared to other formats, you have to take calculated risks. For me, it is about being smart with when to take those risks and how to put the bowlers and the opposition under pressure. That will be my mindset, said Jemimah on JioStar. Vicecaptain Smriti Mandhana highlighted her own tactical adjustments for excelling in the competition, after beginning the tournament by top-scoring with 68. More than anything, I feel this team is really hungry. Everyone looks determined to do the right things, and we would, for sure, like to carry our form into the T20 World Cup. For me, the biggest change has been making better use of the Powerplay and understanding what I can do between overs 6 and 10, then pacing my innings accordingly, whether we are chasing or batting first. There is just one mindset: to do well for India in whatever situation the team requires. If needed, I can anchor the innings or be the aggressor. That's my job. Then we have the likes of Shafali, Richa, and Harman; we have so many powerhitters coming in later. Even Jemimah and I, in our own ways, can find a way to play at a similar strike rate. Head coach Amol Muzumdar credited the Womens Premier League (WPL) for boosting the confidence level in the squad. Following that World Cup win, in the T20I series against Sri Lanka, we began preparing ourselves for the goal, which is ahead of us now, the T20 World Cup. If needed, I can anchor the innings or be the aggressor. That's my job. Then we have the likes of Shafali, Richa, and Harman; we have so many powerhitters coming in later.
