Marwari Catalysts Group to Build Elara Healthcare as a Future-Ready Mother and Child Care Network
Marwari Catalysts Group is working towards establishing Elara Healthcare as a scalable, affordable and future-ready mother and child care platform, with IVF and infertility services forming an important part of its wider healthcare offering. The initiative is being developed under the Group's Venture Studio Model and is designed to bring accessible, ethical and standardized healthcare services closer to women, mothers, children and families beyond major metropolitan cities. Marwari Catalysts Group to Build Elara Healthcare as a Future-Ready Mother and Child Care Network Moving from an IVF-industry-focused approach to a broader mother and child care vision, Elara Healthcare aims to build an integrated healthcare ecosystem covering women's wellness, fertility and infertility care, pregnancy support, mother and child health, nutrition guidance, preventive care, wellness programs and patient education. IVF and infertility services will continue to remain a key vertical within the platform, while the overall focus will expand towards complete care for women, mothers and children. As part of its future expansion roadmap, Marwari Catalysts Group plans to develop Elara Healthcare across Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab and Himachal, followed by proposed international opportunities in Africa and Gulf. These expansion plans are future-oriented and will be executed in phases through collaborations with hospitals, healthcare professionals, wellness partners, doctors and strategic institutions. The vision behind Elara Healthcare is to create a trusted mother and child care network that combines clinical excellence with affordability, compassion, preventive healthcare, technology-enabled systems and standardized delivery. The platform will focus on serving Tier-II and Tier-III cities, where access to organized mother and child healthcare, fertility care and women's wellness services remains limited or fragmented. To strengthen its mother and child healthcare ecosystem, Elara Healthcare has signed MoUs with Nuskha Kitchen and Hobfit for the betterment of women's health, mother and child wellness, yoga, exercise, nutrition and proper diet support. These collaborations are aimed at building a holistic care model where medical services are supported by lifestyle, diet, fitness and wellness interventions. Speaking about the vision, Sushil Sharma , Founder & CEO of Marwari Catalysts Group, Executive Director, BRICS CCI, Convenor, ESC Rajasthan Chapter and also Co-Chair Startup Vertical, Rotary District 3053 (2026–27) said, "Marwari Catalysts has always believed that impactful and globally scalable businesses can emerge from Tier-II and Tier-III India. Through Elara Healthcare, we are building a future-ready mother and child care platform that will include fertility, IVF and infertility care as part of a much larger healthcare vision.

Dr. Renu Sharma, Founder & Director of Elara Healthcare, said the objective is to build a holistic healthcare platform for women and families, "During my years of working in fertility and women's healthcare, I realised that families in smaller cities need much more than only IVF treatment. They need guidance, ethical medical care, emotional support, nutrition, wellness, preventive care and reliable mother and child healthcare services closer to home. Elara Healthcare is being designed with this broader vision. IVF and infertility services will remain an important part of our work, but our larger focus will be on complete women, mother and child care." She added that the organisation will continue to invest in experienced medical professionals, fertility specialists, embryologists, mother and child healthcare experts, wellness partners, technology systems and continuous training to maintain consistent standards across every future centre and collaboration. Gajendra Singh, Director of Elara Healthcare, said the expansion strategy will focus on building a sustainable healthcare ecosystem rather than only increasing the number of centres, "Healthcare expansion requires strong systems, quality assurance and operational excellence. Elara Healthcare will be built on standardized processes, technology-enabled monitoring, patient-centric services and transparent governance. Our aim is to create a trusted network that supports women, mothers, children and families through every stage of care." Supporting Elara Healthcare's future growth is an experienced ecosystem of healthcare professionals, entrepreneurs, strategic investors and global business leaders. Among them is Vijendra Singh, a globally experienced technology executive, strategic investor and mentor whose expertise in digital transformation, business scaling and organizational leadership will contribute to the platform's long-term growth. The initiative further strengthens Marwari Catalysts Group's healthcare portfolio, which already includes ventures such as Sarathi Healthcare, Nuskha Kitchen and One Dose.

Never knew Kashmir was so beautiful: First-time Yatris
Praise Valleys hospitality, beauty, spirit of brotherhood Srinagar, Jul 02: Yatri Niwas Pantha Chowk in Srinagar came alive with chants of Bam Bam Bhole, prayers and emotional scenes on Thursday as hundreds of first-time Shri Amarnath Yatra pilgrims arrived in the Valley, many of them overwhelmed by Kashmirs breathtaking beauty and warm hospitality. From elderly devotees to youngsters, the atmosphere at the Yatri Niwas reflected a unique blend of spirituality, excitement and relief as pilgrims prepared to proceed towards the holy cave shrine through the Baltal and Pahalgam routes. For many first-time yatris, the journeyturned intofar more than a religious pilgrimage. Alongside faith and devotion, pilgrims said they were deeply touched by the kindness, compassion and brotherhood shown by the people of Kashmir. We never knew Kashmir was so beautiful and peaceful, said Meena Sharma, a pilgrim from Delhi, while admiring the mist-covered mountains surrounding the city. We had heard many things before coming here, but after arriving, all our fears disappeared. The people here welcomed us warmly and guided us at every step. We are taking back beautiful memories from Kashmir. The arrival of pilgrims filled the Yatri Niwas with energy and devotion as volunteers, officials and security personnel assisted devotees with directions, registration and accommodation. Pushpa Devi, a first-time yatri from Madhya Pradesh, said the Valleys natural beauty and hospitality made the spiritual journey even more memorable. The mountains, cool breeze and peaceful atmosphere make this place feel heavenly, she said. But what touched us most was the behaviour of the people. Shopkeepers, volunteers and even strangers were helping pilgrims selflessly. We feel respected and cared for here. Several women pilgrims said they felt safe and comfortable during their stay in Kashmir and appreciated the support extended by locals and security personnel. As women travellers, safety is always a concern during long journeys, but here we felt completely comfortable, said Rekha Joshi, who arrived with a group from Gujarat. Locals offered us water, directions and help whenever needed. The police and volunteers are guiding everyone patiently. Another woman pilgrim from Maharashtra said the atmosphere in Kashmir had changed her perception of the Valley. We used to see Kashmir only in photographs and on television, but seeing it in person is a completely different feeling, she said. The greenery, rivers and mountains are mesmerising, and the warmth of people makes the experience even more special. Elderly yatris, too, shared emotional accounts of the assistance they received from residents and volunteers. At this age, travelling and climbing are not easy, said 70-year-old Om Prakash from Haryana. But young boys here helped elderly pilgrims with luggage and guided us patiently. Their humanity and respect touched my heart. Another elderly pilgrim from Rajasthan, Shanti Lal Sharma, said his perception of Kashmir had changed completely after visiting the Valley. We came here with devotion for Baba Amarnath, but we are also taking back love and affection from Kashmir, he said. People here welcomed us like family members. This journey will remain in our hearts forever. Pilgrims also praised the administration, Jammu and Kashmir Police and other security agencies for maintaining smooth arrangements and ensuring a secure atmosphere. The arrangements are excellent, said Rajesh Tiwari from Uttar Pradesh. From Jammu to Srinagar, everything has been systematic. Security personnel are present everywhere and are helping devotees with patience and humility. However, many pilgrims urged authorities to simplify the registration process and increase the number of registration counters, particularly for senior citizens and first-time visitors unfamiliar with procedures. Registration should be easier and quicker, said a group of pilgrims from Punjab. Long queues become exhausting, especially for elderly people and women travelling with families. More counters and help desks would make the experience smoother. Some yatris also demanded separate assistance facilities for women and elderly devotees at registration and transit points. Despite minor inconveniences, pilgrims said the warmth of Kashmirs people and the spiritual atmosphere overshadowed every hardship. For us, this is no longer just a pilgrimage, said one elderly devotee while preparing for the onward journey. It has become a lesson in humanity, brotherhood and peace. The majority of the pilgrims urged the LG Manoj Sinha-led administration to set up additional registration counters so that every pilgrim can undertake a hassle-free journey. There should be more counters for registration, andcompletion offormalities should be donein a very speedy manner.After performing darshan at the holy cave shrine, we would like to visit tourist places and take a shikara ride in Dal Lake as well, a group of enthusiastic pilgrims said.

Rs 14-crore daily livestock trade disrupted, Wazwan under stress
Srinagar, Jun 30:As the wedding season reaches its peak in Kashmir, a disruption in the supply of mutton has laid bare one of Jammu and Kashmir's biggest food security challenges - its heavy dependence on livestock imported from outside J&K. The immediate trigger is a dispute over alleged illegal charges imposed on livestock carriers passing through Punjab. However, the crisis has also highlighted the structural gap between Kashmir's appetite for mutton and its limited domestic production. Wholesale mutton dealers have suspended fresh imports of live sheep and goats after alleging that transporters are being forced to pay between Rs 20,000 and Rs 25,000 per truck while crossing Punjab. General Secretary of the Wholesale Mutton Dealers Union, Mehraj Ganie, said traders have been compelled to halt supplies despite the ongoing marriage season. We have stopped importing livestock for the last few days. Whatever stock was available within Kashmir has almost been exhausted. Marriage functions are getting affected, but we have no option. Trucks carrying livestock are being charged Rs 20,000 to Rs 25,000 while passing through Punjab. These charges are illegal and have made transportation unviable, Ganie told Greater Kashmir. According to the union, Kashmir imports nearly 70 truckloads of livestock every day during the peak marriage season. Each truck carries sheep worth around Rs 20 lakh, taking the total value of daily livestock imports to nearly Rs 14 crore during this period. Most of these consignments originate from Rajasthan, Haryana, Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh before entering Jammu and Kashmir through Punjab. Any disruption along this route immediately affects wholesale markets, retailers and consumers across Kashmir. The issue has now reached the highest political level. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has written to the Punjab Government seeking immediate intervention to ensure the smooth movement of livestock transport vehicles through the state. In his letter, the Chief Minister urged Punjab authorities to prevent unauthorised levies and facilitate unhindered movement of livestock carriers, warning that the disruption could adversely affect traders as well as consumers in Jammu and Kashmir. While the current dispute revolves around transportation, it has once again exposed a long-standing weakness in J&K's livestock economy. J&K has consistently failed to produce enough mutton to meet local demand. Available government figures and industry estimates show that J&K produces around 30,000 to 32,000 tonnes of mutton annually, whereas consumption is estimated at 51,000 to 60,000 tonnes every year. This leaves a deficit of nearly 21,000 to 30,000 tonnes. In simple terms, local production meets only about half of the Valley's annual requirement, forcing J&K to depend on imports for roughly 40 to 50 percent of its mutton consumption. Official estimates released over the years present a remarkably consistent picture. Earlier figures showed annual consumption at around 51,000 tonnes against local production of 30,000 tonnes, requiring imports of nearly 21,000 tonnes. More recent estimates indicate that consumption has climbed to nearly 60,000 tonnes while production has remained almost stagnant at around 30,000 tonnes, widening the supply gap further. The shortfall is bridged through the import of live sheep and goats rather than processed meat. Industry estimates indicate that Jammu and Kashmir imports nearly 14 lakh sheep and goats every year. These animals are transported by road, slaughtered within J&K and supplied through local wholesale and retail markets. The annual value of these imports is estimated at around Rs 1400 crore, making mutton one of the largest food commodities imported into J&K. Economists say this also represents a significant outflow of wealth, as hundreds of crores of rupees leave J&K every year to purchase livestock from other states instead of circulating within the local rural economy. Ironically, J&K has one of India's strongest sheep-rearing traditions. J&K accounts for nearly 4.2 percent of the country's sheep population and ranks among the leading sheep-rearing regions. Annual mutton production stands at around 320 lakh kg, equivalent to approximately 32,000 tonnes. However, experts attribute the production deficit to low productivity, dependence on traditional breeds, slower genetic improvement and limited adoption of modern breeding technologies. While natural grazing resources are abundant, meat yield per animal has remained comparatively low. Research studies suggest that dependence on imported livestock is not a recent phenomenon. Academic analyses have shown that imports of sheep and goats have steadily increased since the early 2000s as local production failed to keep pace with rising consumption. The demand for mutton in Kashmir also differs from most other parts of the country.
