dollar310M Boost from Prodigy Finance Expands Education Access Globally, with Indian Students Leading the Way
Prodigy Finance, a global student loan provider, is taking a bold initiative in 2025 to fund students in India who wish to study abroad. In November 2024, they received a significant funding amount of USD 310 million from the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC). This financial support marks an important step in Prodigy Finance’s mission to make education more accessible, helping students from Prodigy-supported regions to attend higher education at Prodigy-supported schools.
Prodigy Finance is putting this funding to work in ways that make a difference. At least 30% of the funding is dedicated to women and 50% to individuals from low- and lower-middle-income countries.
Prodigy Finance is also extending its support to students from Tier 1 to Tier 4 cities and beyond, ensuring that those from smaller towns and rural areas receive the same opportunities as those from major urban centers. Additionally, part of the funding has already been utilised to provide scholarships for Fall 2025, with more scholarship programs set to be launched in the future. These initiatives reinforce Prodigy Finance’s commitment to fostering diversity and increasing access to global education for students who might otherwise be unable to pursue higher studies.
“At Prodigy Finance, we believe education is the most powerful tool for change,” said Sonal Kapoor, Global Chief Business Officer at Prodigy Finance. “This new funding enables us to expand our reach, empowering even more students, particularly women and those from underserved communities, to achieve their dreams. Indian students have always been a key part of our mission, and we are committed to removing financial barriers that stand in their way.”
Beyond India, Prodigy Finance has expanded education access globally, benefitting students across Africa and other global regions. By offering education loans, scholarships, and tailored support programs, Prodigy Finance is ensuring that students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds can connect with top academic institutions, regardless of their financial circumstances.
Prodigy Finance is not only financing education but also responding to the concerns of families who seek ways to ease the burden of student loans. Since its inception, the company has primarily offered no-cosigner and collateral-free loans, enabling students to secure funding based on their future potential. However, recognising the needs of Indian parents, including single parents who wish to support their children’s education, Prodigy Finance has introduced co-signer-based loans for Indian resident students, empowering families to contribute while ensuring students maintain financial independence, creating a balanced approach to education funding.
This initiative was inspired by students like Prachi Mahapatra, a determined STEM student whose father, a retired Air Force officer, wanted to help fund her studies. While Prachi was committed to funding her studies independently, Prodigy Finance provided the financial backing she needed. With this, she excelled in her field of cybersecurity. She is now working on threat modeling, XDR, and quantum cybersecurity services and products, making significant contributions to the US economy with her innovative ideas in the cybersecurity field. Her exceptional accomplishments have earned recognition from the Air Force Association, Odisha, India, in an initiative celebrating the daughters of Air Force personnel on International Women’s Day 2025. This recognition highlights how financial support can empower talented individuals to attain their goals and make a lasting impact in their respective fields.
As Prodigy Finance continues its $310 million investment, stories like Prachi’s illustrate the transformative power of education. With this funding in motion, Prodigy Finance aims to expand into more courses and universities this year. This initiative brings Prodigy Finance one step closer to ensuring that every talented student, regardless of their financial background or choice of education, has the opportunity to succeed on the world stage.

Groundbreaking Medical Achievement: Nethradhama Hospital in Bengaluru Performs Asia’s First AI-Designed Eye Implant
Bengaluru, 21st March 2025: Nethradhama Super Speciality Eye Hospital, Bengaluru, a pioneering institution in eye care, has performed Asia’s first AI-designed intraocular lens implantation. Under the leadership of Professor Dr. Sri Ganesh, Chairman & Managing Director of Nethradhama Super Speciality Eye Hospital and Founder Trustee of Shraddha Eye Care Trust, the hospital achieved this milestone, making him the first surgeon in Asia to carry out the procedure using Rayner RayOne Galaxy and Galaxy Toric intraocular lenses (IOLs).
“Our goal is always to provide the best solutions for our patients, and this innovation allows us to offer superior vision outcomes with minimal side effects,” said Dr. Sri Ganesh. “By leveraging AI-driven technology in intraocular lens design, we can achieve greater precision, enhanced customization, and improved patient satisfaction.”
This represents a notable advancement in AI-driven vision correction and a significant step forward in refractive cataract surgery, bringing us closer to more personalized vision solutions.
“The biggest challenge with previous IOLs has been balancing vision quality with night vision clarity,” explained Dr. Sri Ganesh. “This new lens overcomes this by using AI to optimize light distribution, giving patients an exceptional visual experience. It revolutionizes vision with its non-diffractive, AI-optimized spiral design, ensuring seamless clarity at all distances while enhancing contrast sensitivity. Unlike traditional trifocal lenses, it evenly distributes light across all focal points, reducing halos and glare for improved night vision. Its innovative optical structure enhances contrast even in low light, and the toric variant offers optimal rotational stability for precise astigmatic correction.”
These lenses are specifically designed for patients with cataracts and astigmatism who seek reduced dependence—or complete independence—from glasses.
“For our patients, achieving true spectacle independence has always been a priority. They are particularly beneficial for individuals who require excellent vision across all distances while maintaining good night vision for driving and other low-light activities,” noted Dr. Sri Ganesh.
According to Dr. Sri Ganesh, the initial post-operative results have been extremely promising, with patients reporting excellent visual clarity within the first 24 hours. He added that long-term studies will continue to assess patient-reported experiences, particularly in real-world conditions like night driving and low-light environments.
Dr. Sri Ganesh is widely recognized for his expertise in high-risk surgeries, earning a stellar reputation in the field of advanced eye care. With an impeccable track record, he has performed over 100,000 Phaco surgeries and 50,000 Refractive surgeries, demonstrating exceptional surgical precision and innovation. His expertise is highly sought after on the global stage, serving on the advisory boards of leading companies such as Carl Zeiss Meditec Germany and J&J Vision USA. Beyond surgery, he has played a pivotal role in ophthalmic innovation, holding multiple patents for groundbreaking solutions that continue to shape the future of eye care.
To ensure an informed decision-making process, Nethradhama Super Speciality Eye Hospital offers comprehensive counseling and visual simulation sessions for patients considering these AI-designed IOLs. These sessions allow patients to preview their expected vision outcomes, including night vision improvements.
“With AI-driven advancements like these, we are witnessing a paradigm shift in ophthalmology. Our mission at Nethradhama Super Speciality Eye Hospital is to continually push the boundaries of innovation to provide our patients with the best possible visual outcomes. We are thrilled to bring this revolutionary technology to Asia and look forward to its impact on the future of vision correction,” added Dr. Sri Ganesh.
Under Dr. Sri Ganesh’s leadership, Nethradhama is committed to innovation and excellence, continuously integrating state-of-the-art technologies to ensure the best possible visual outcomes for patients. Through its dedication to research, training, and compassionate care, it has established itself as a trusted name in eye health, both in India and globally.

Breaking Stereotypes Hemant Chaudhary Reflects on Playing Kuldeep in Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri
Seasoned actor Hemant Chaudhary, known for his powerful screen presence, is captivating audiences once again with Sun Neo’s recently launched show Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri, where he plays Kuldeep, the father of the lead character Rudra (played by Savi Thakur). Kuldeep is a man deeply rooted in his beliefs, shaped by his unwavering loyalty to his mother. His perspective on life, relationships, and family dynamics makes him a complex yet intriguing character.
Speaking about his character, Hemant Chaudhary shares, “The character I am playing has his own outlook on life. What may seem negative to some might actually be positive in his own way because he blindly follows his mother. Whatever she says becomes his ultimate truth. If she tells him something, he believes it without question. If she says his wife is not right for him, he will accept it without hesitation.”
The Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri actor futher added, “It’s quite ironic that a thick, well-groomed mustache is often linked to negativity. A long mustache is usually associated with power or dominance, and if styled a certain way, it tends to indicate a negative character. But I don’t believe that’s always true. I have interpreted Kuldeep in my own way, as I believe that defines who he is.”
Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri follows Gauri, a brave and kind-hearted girl whose faith guides her through life. Forced into an unwanted marriage, she navigates challenges as the Bundela family’s daughter-in-law, shaping her own destiny with wisdom and courage. Starring Eshaa Pathak, Savi Thakur, and Swati Shah, watch this emotional drama on Sun Neo, Mon-Sun at 8:30 PM.
