Some of India's greatest champions are born far from the spotlight. They emerge from villages, mountains and communities where resources may be limited, but determination knows no boundaries. Lakshya Scholar Puja Tomar; Dr. Payal Kanodia, Chairperson & Trustee, M3M Foundation, with Lakshya Scholar Tenzin Dolma Long before medals are won and records are broken, these athletes battle circumstances, shoulder responsibilities and continue to pursue excellence with unwavering resolve. Recognising the extraordinary potential hidden within India's grassroots, M3M Foundation launched Lakshya to ensure that talent is supported, aspirations are nurtured and deserving athletes receive the opportunity to represent the nation with pride. One such champion is Tenzin Dolma, an ultra-runner from the remote Spiti Valley of Himachal Pradesh and a beneficiary of M3M Foundation's Lakshya Programme. Recently, Tenzin brought pride to the nation at the IAU Asian-Oceania 24 Hours Championship in Japan, where she broke both India's 12-hour and 24-hour National Records and helped the Indian Women's Team secure the Bronze Medal. For a woman who lost her parents at a young age, became a mother in her teens and supported her family through a modest tea stall, the achievement represents far more than a sporting milestone - it is a story of resilience, perseverance and hope. Tenzin's journey reflects the larger vision of Lakshya, M3M Foundation's flagship sports initiative envisioned under the leadership of Dr. Payal Kanodia, Chairperson and Trustee, M3M Foundation, who herself is an International Kettlebell Champion. Having experienced the demands of competitive sport firsthand, Dr. Kanodia believes that talent should never be limited by geography or financial circumstances. Today, Lakshya supports more than 100 scholars across 11 states, including Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Ladakh and Jammu & Kashmir. The programme's impact extends across 36 sporting disciplines, from Athletics and Boxing to Golf, Gymnastics, Para Sports and Kettlebell Lifting, creating opportunities for talented athletes who otherwise may never have received access to structured support. Among them is Puja Tomar, one of India's leading mixed martial artists and another Lakshya Scholar. Hailing from Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, Puja overcame personal and financial hardships to pursue combat sports and went on to script history by becoming the first Indian woman to register a victory in the UFC. Her journey, much like Tenzin's, demonstrates the extraordinary potential that exists within India's grassroots communities. The achievements of Lakshya scholars are increasingly being reflected on podiums across the world. Collectively, athletes supported by the programme have secured 390 medals, including 77 international medals, reinforcing the Foundation's commitment to strengthening India's sporting ecosystem from the grassroots upwards. Speaking about the Foundation's vision, Dr. Payal Kanodia said, " As an athlete myself, I understand the sacrifices, discipline and perseverance that excellence demands. Through Lakshya, our endeavour is to ensure that deserving sportspersons receive the opportunities and support they need to realise their full potential. Athletes like Tenzin Dolma and Puja Tomar remind us that some of India's greatest champions emerge from the most challenging circumstances ." For M3M Foundation, Lakshya is not merely about supporting athletes. It is about believing in dreams before the world recognises them and ensuring that talent from every corner of India gets an opportunity to make the nation proud. About M3M Foundation M3M Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the M3M Group, working across education, health, livelihoods, sports, and environment. With a reach across 22 states and over 1,300 villages, the Foundation has positively impacted more than 5 million lives, driven by a vision of inclusive, sustainable, and transformative nation building.

Nikhil Kamath Brings Together Pharma Veterans to Decode India's Evolving Healthcare Landscape
In the latest episode of WTF, entrepreneur and investor Nikhil Kamath sits down with two of India's most influential pharmaceutical leaders, Rajeev Juneja, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Mankind Pharma, and GV Prasad, Co-Chairman and CEO of Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, for a candid conversation on India's pharmaceutical growth story, the future of innovation-led healthcare, manufacturing competitiveness, and the opportunities shaping the sector's next chapter. Nikhil Kamath in conversation with Rajeev Juneja, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Mankind Pharma, and GV Prasad, Co-Chairman and CEO of Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Together, Juneja and Prasad bring more than six decades of experience building businesses that have helped shape India's position as the pharmacy of the world. Through personal stories and industry insights, they discuss how medicines are discovered, manufactured and commercialized, why India remains a global leader in generic drugs, and what it will take for the country to emerge as a stronger innovation-driven pharmaceutical hub. Reflecting on Mankind Pharma's journey, Rajeev Juneja shares how the company was built after its founding in 1995 with just Rs. 69,000 in capital and a strategy focused on markets often overlooked by larger players. While established pharmaceutical companies concentrated on metros and large hospitals, Mankind expanded its presence across smaller markets in Western Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Punjab, prioritizing depth of distribution over breadth. The company differentiated itself by pricing products 40 to 60 percent below competitors, making medicines more accessible to consumers. Today, Mankind Pharma is India's fourth-largest pharmaceutical company with revenues exceeding Rs. 40,000 crore. GV Prasad reflects on joining Dr. Reddy's Laboratories in 1990, when the company's total group revenue was less than Rs. 100 crore, and helping build it into a nearly USD 3 billion global business spanning generics, biosimilars and proprietary drug discovery. He explains the fundamental differences between generics, biologics and innovative medicines, while highlighting both India's strengths and limitations within the global pharmaceutical value chain. A key theme of the discussion is India's next growth frontier. While India has established itself as the world's leading supplier of affordable generic medicines, Prasad notes that significantly greater value is created through innovation and the discovery of new therapies. The conversation explores emerging treatment areas such as GLP-1 drugs, the economics of drug development, and the investments required to build a globally competitive innovation ecosystem. The episode also examines India's position relative to China. Juneja and Prasad discuss China's evolution from a low-cost manufacturing destination to a global force in pharmaceutical innovation, noting that 29 percent of all new cancer drugs are now originating from Chinese companies. The discussion highlights the importance of long-term capital, scientific talent, research infrastructure and institutional support in driving innovation-led growth. Addressing the ongoing conversation around Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), the two leaders offer perspectives on manufacturing resilience and supply chain competitiveness. Prasad argues that India has not lost its ability to manufacture APIs but rather faced economic challenges that shifted production elsewhere, while Juneja discusses how Indian companies are increasingly partnering with and licensing molecules from global innovators to bring advanced therapies to patients more quickly. Beyond industry trends, the episode provides valuable insights for young professionals considering careers in pharmaceuticals. Drawing on their own experiences — from Juneja's early years as a medical representative to Prasad's journey of helping build a global pharmaceutical enterprise — both leaders emphasize the breadth of opportunities available across science, research, manufacturing, sales, entrepreneurship and healthcare innovation. Speaking on the episode, Rajeev Juneja, said, "What you hate becomes your biggest lesson. Going to that pharmacy, sweeping, buying from the wholesale market, I hated it. But that is where I learned how the market really works." GV Prasad added, "India is the generic pharmacy of the world. That's a good foundation. But the next frontier is finding new drugs, and I think the next ten years will be extremely interesting for Indian pharma." Commenting on the conversation, Nikhil Kamath, said, "This conversation made clear something I hadn't quite understood before, that by volume, India is the pharmacy of the world, but by revenue, we're barely a rounding error. The real question, and these two men have spent their careers answering it, is how that changes." The episode is available now on YouTube. About WTF with Nikhil Kamath WTF is a long-form conversation series hosted by entrepreneur and investor Nikhil Kamath. Each episode brings together builders, thinkers, and industry leaders for extended, unscripted conversations on business, ideas, and the texture of how things actually get done.

Three killed in Nagrota road accident
LG Sinha, CM Omar condole loss of lives Jammu, Jun 14: Three people from Haryana were killed and two others injured when their car collided with a truck along the Jammu-Srinagar national highway near the Jagti-Karli area of Nagrota early Sunday, officials said. The accident occurred around 2:15 am, leaving the car extensively damaged. While two persons died on the spot, another succumbed to injuries at the Government Medical College Hospital, Jammu. The deceased have been identified as Sikander Saifi, Shakti and Mohit Verma, all residents of Haryana. The injured Deepak Verma and Kuldeep Sharma are undergoing treatment at the hospital. Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha expressed grief over the loss of lives. Deeply grieved to learn about the loss of precious lives in a tragic road accident near Jagti, Nagrota. I extend my heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families. Praying for the early recovery of the injured. I have directed the District Administration to provide all necessary assistance to the affected families, the LG said in a condolence message. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah also expressed deep grief over the accident. The chief minister has expressed deep grief over the tragic road accident near Nagrota in which three persons from Haryana lost their lives, and two others sustained injuries, his office posted on X.

Nagrota Tragedy: Counting the Dead, Not the Mistakes
Three young lives lost on a highway that still refuses to learn Three young men from Haryana, all residents of Ballabgarh, left home to travel to Jammu. They did not return. In the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday, their car, moving towards Jammu, collided head-on with a bus on the Nagrota stretch near Jagti, on the outskirts of Jammu city. All five occupants of the car suffered critical injuries; two were declared brought dead at Government Medical College (GMC) Hospital, Jammu, while the third succumbed during treatment. Two others are battling for their lives. The bare details are chillingly familiar: a head-on collision, a highway, a late hour, and yet another set of families plunged into grief. Police have taken cognisance and initiated an investigation into the cause of the accident. But beyond the immediate questions of speed, lane discipline, lighting, or driver fatigue lies a more uncomfortable truth: that our highways in Jammu and Kashmir continue to be engineered and managed in ways that almost guarantee recurring tragedy. The Nagrota-Jagti belt is not an unknown black spot. The JammuUdhampur axis has, over the years, recorded a disturbing number of crashes involving passenger vehicles, trucks and buses. Each incident briefly jolts the public conscience and triggers routine assurances, only for the cycle of neglect to resume. If three residents from outside the UT can lose their lives within minutes of entering this stretch, it reflects not just individual error but a systemic failure of road safety planning and enforcement. Roads that connect Jammu with the rest of the country carry heavy, mixed traffic at virtually all hours. This demands far more than casual policing and sporadic drives. Clearly demarcated lanes, functional reflectors and signage, rumble strips before dangerous curves, strict checks on speeding and overtaking, and calibrated lighting at known accident-prone points are no longer optional extras; they are the difference between life and death. Night-time traffic on such corridors should be under particular scrutiny, with enforcement teams empowered and equipped to act. At the same time, there is a need to revisit how quickly accident black spots are mapped and rectified. A crash of this nature should immediately trigger a technical audit of the exact location Nagrota near Jagti with time-bound directions for remedial measures. Merely registering an FIR and waiting for a formal inquiry is not enough. The administration, traffic authorities and road-owning agencies must treat every fatal accident as an institutional failure and respond accordingly. The loss of three young lives from Haryana on the outskirts of Jammu is a grim reminder that our roads are still not safe for those who use them in good faith. Their death should not be reduced to a passing headline. It must become a turning point for a serious, enforceable road safety regime along the JammuUdhampur route and across J&K. Otherwise, Nagrota will be just one more entry in a growing ledger of avoidable tragedies and we will all share responsibility for looking away.
