Mantle Hits Back-to-Back All-Time Highs with 1,473 Tokenized Assets and $476M in Distributed Asset Value

DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mantle, the open financial network connecting global market participants to institutional-grade capital market assets on-chain, today announced back-to-back all-time highs across two of the most closely tracked benchmarks in tokenized finance. The total number of tokenized assets on Mantle has crossed 1,473, up from 71 at the start of the year, per Blockworks Research, while total Distributed Asset Value for real-world assets (RWAs) on Mantle has climbed to $476 million, a 110% increase over the past 30 days, per RWA.xyz.

Both milestones reflect the accelerating concentration of institutional-grade real-world assets on Mantle, with the network’s tokenized asset count growing more than twentyfold since January.

The Numbers Behind the Growth

The 1,473 tokenized asset count places Mantle among the fastest-growing networks for real-world asset issuance in 2026, driven by an expanding roster of established issuers building on the network, including xStocks for tokenized equities and ETFs, Securitize for tokenized index funds, Ethena for yield-bearing stablecoins, Paxos for regulated dollar issuance and more.The $476.10 million in Distributed Asset Value, more than doubling in a single month, reflects both the scale of individual asset launches and the deepening liquidity behind them, spanning tokenized equities, ETFs, stablecoins, and yield-bearing instruments including the Mantle Vault, which extended into decentralized finance earlier this year alongside Grove, CIAN, and Fluxion.

These milestones follow a series of high-profile listings on Mantle in recent months, including the on-chain listing of tokenized SpaceX equity (SPCXx) simultaneously with the SpaceX IPO; the addition of Franklin Templeton’s USPX ETF (USPXx) as one of the first Ethereum Layer 2 networks to bring a tokenized ETF from one of the world’s largest asset managers on-chain; and the native minting of USDG, the Paxos-issued regulated stablecoin, joining Mantle to the Global Dollar Network alongside more than 150 partners.

Why the Growth Is Concentrating on Mantle

Real-world assets require infrastructure built for institutional standards: regulated custody, verifiable settlement, deep liquidity, and composable utility. As the largest chain running ZK validity proofs on Ethereum, Mantle delivers verifiable settlement with institutional-grade security, paired with a distribution stack that spans both centralized and on-chain venues through Bybit and Fluxion. Assets on Mantle trade 24/7 through Fluxion’s hybrid AMM and Atomic RFQ infrastructure, and remain productive from the moment they land through the network’s growing suite of yield products and DeFi integrations.

“These all-time highs reflect what we have been building toward from the start: borderless access to global capital markets, on infrastructure that can carry them at scale,” said Emily Bao, Key Advisor at Mantle and Head of Spot at Bybit. “Every asset that lands on Mantle brings us closer to a network where anyone, anywhere, can reach institutional-grade opportunities without the barriers that have historically defined them.”

About Mantle

Mantle is the open financial network connecting global market participants to institutional-grade capital market assets on-chain. With institutional-grade infrastructure and a composable ecosystem anchored by MNT within Bybit and built out through core projects including mETH, fBTC, and MI4, Mantle serves as the destination where institutional RWA capital concentrates on-chain.

Companies Of The UN Global Compact Across Europe Make Tangible Contributions To The Sustainable Development Goals But Still Lack Operational Actions To Advance Environmental Goals

Release of the first comprehensive analysis of the private sector’s contribution to the 2030 agenda

NEW YORK, Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On the occasion of the United Nations General Assembly, UN Global Compact Networks Bulgaria, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and Türkiye are releasing the second edition of the European Private Sector SDGs Stocktake. Drawing on 136 data points from 5,793 UN Global Compact participant companies across 21 European countries, the study makes it possible, for the first time, to estimate the private sector’s level of contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals. The overall average contribution score of 58.2 out of 100 suggests a positive level of contribution to sustainable development, with room for improvement on specific issues.

KEY FINDINGS

• European UN Global Compact participant companies make a tangible contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals, with an overall average contribution score of 58.2 out of 100.
  
  For each analysed SDG target, a contribution score from 0 to 100 was calculated using a set of indicators, with 0 meaning no contribution at all and 100 the highest possible level of contribution. The scores reveal that while differences between countries are relatively small, the level of contribution remains uneven across the Goals. SDG 3 on health records the highest contribution score (73.6).
  
  
  
  
• Companies’ contribution is higher on SDGs related to social issues than the ones related to the environment. Anti-corruption is well integrated by UNGC companies in Europe.
  
  This difference may reflect longer-standing regulations in Europe on social issues, as well as a greater number of operational indicators for measuring environment-related SDGs, which require a higher level of maturity in terms of sustainability.
  
  
  
  
• European industrial participant companies tend to embed environmental practices more deeply.
  
  Overall, contribution to climate change (SDG 13) remains moderate among European participant companies, with an average score of 45.8. Only 28.1% of responding companies have developed a climate adaptation plan. The indicators show that industrial companies tend to contribute more to SDG 13 on climate and SDG 12 on responsible consumption and production than service-sector companies, suggesting that more direct exposure creates a stronger incentive to act.
  
  
  
  
• The contribution scores by country show a degree of homogeneity in Europe.
  
  The highest overall contribution scores have been calculated for companies from Greece (67.3), Türkiye (63.9) and Italy (62.8), as opposed to lower scores in Poland and Denmark (51.7) and Switzerland & Liechtenstein (54.6). Most countries fall within ± 2.9 points around the European average overall score. This suggests that companies in Europe now operate within broadly shared sustainability frameworks, with similar levels of regulations and expectations.
  
  
  
  
• Most companies have now taken policy commitments and implemented internal prevention measures, but it remains difficult for most to translate these commitments into operational actions.
  
  This is particularly the case for SMEs, which account for 56% of the responding companies. Employee training on sustainability also remains an area where progress is needed, given that its wide-scale adoption is essential to the implementation of the SDGs.
  
  
  
  
• The efficiency of sustainability actions is still not systematically measured for all areas.
  
  Among the companies that have implemented sustainability measures related to social issues, only half have measured their progress. This is however significantly more common for measures related to the environment, despite 20% of companies still not tracking their efficiency. Sustainability training (SDG 4) also leaves room for improvement as less than 40% of companies offer such training to their employees on social and environmental issues.
  
  
  
  
• Multi-stakeholder and public-private partnerships show room for improvement among European companies participating in the UN Global Compact.
  
  This is shown by a low contribution score on SDG 17 (22.1), and can be explained by the voluntary nature of such partnerships. Public-private partnerships present a real opportunity for further progress and to drive a measurable impact in all sustainable development areas, notably in technological progress and financing.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on these findings, the European Global Compact Country Networks that contributed to this study issue four recommendations to the European private sector:

• Increase progress measurement in all sustainability areas, to efficiently measure impact and ensure alignment with Sustainable Development Goals.
  
  
  
  
• Adaptation to climate change should become a priority for all sectors in Europe, to ensure the long-term viability of business models.
  
  
  
  
• Engage in more multi-stakeholder and public-private partnerships, such as cross-sector alliances, multi-stakeholder cooperation on innovative sustainable projects, or public-private finance mechanisms for supporting sustainable development. 
  
  
  
  
• Increase sustainability training opportunities for all employees and suppliers, to ensure that sustainable impact can be positively delivered through the entire value chain.

The UN Global Compact and its Country Networks in Europe continue to carry out their mandate by supporting the implementation of the 2030 Agenda by companies of all sizes and operating in all business sectors, through a comprehensive value proposition, tailored to all levels of sustainability maturity.

METHODOLOGY

The study was built from the 2025 Communication on Progress (CoP) of 5,793 UN Global Compact participant companies in Europe, using 136 data points.

The study covers 21 European countries where the UN Global Compact has a Country Network: Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland & Liechtenstein*, Türkiye and the United Kingdom. As sample sizes vary across countries, margins of error have been indicated on the publication.

*Both countries belong to the same UN Global Compact Country Network.

The CoP indicators were mapped to the SDG targets, drawing on the work of the Global Reporting Initiative as a starting point. The CoP questionnaire does not provide indicators enabling companies’ contribution to SDG 1 on no poverty, SDG 2 on zero hunger and SDG 11 on sustainable cities and communities to be measured. These three Goals were therefore removed from the scope of the study. For the remaining 14 Goals, the CoP data allow contribution to be measured on at least one target.

To calculate the contribution score for each target and each Goal, the CoP indicators were weighted and aggregated. A contribution score ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 is the lowest and 100 the highest.

The calculated score reflects the level of contribution to the SDGs by European UN Global Compact participant companies, not the extent to which those companies have achieved the Goals.

ABOUT THE UNITED NATIONS GLOBAL COMPACT

As a special initiative of the United Nations Secretary-General, the UN Global Compact is a call to companies worldwide to align their operations and strategies with Ten Principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. Our vision is clear: to mobilize business to transform sustainability ambition into action at the scale the world demands. With more than 25,000 participants and a presence in over 100 countries through 5 Regional Hubs and more than 70 Country Networks and expansion territories, the UN Global Compact is the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative.

SleepyCat Marks 50th Store Opening as it Continues to Expand Access to Better Sleep Across India

GURUGRAM, India, Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Gurgaon, one of India’s leading corporate and commercial hubs, has grown into a city defined by fast-paced workdays, modern urban living and an increasingly diverse residential landscape. As the city continues to attract professionals, businesses and families from across the country, the need for comfortable, convenient and personalised lifestyle solutions is also evolving.

Adding to this growing landscape, SleepyCat is marking a significant milestone in its retail journey with the opening of its 50th store in Gurgaon.

Celebrating 50 Stores with a New Sleep Studio in Gurgaon

Gurgaon’s evolving residential landscape and its position as a major corporate hub make it a natural location for SleepyCat’s 50th store. With professionals, families and young residents spending increasingly busy days in the city, the new Sleep Studio gives local shoppers an opportunity to explore products designed around sleep and everyday comfort.

You can experience SleepyCat’s mattress range in-store and compare different options based on their individual preferences. The brand offers mattresses across categories such as memory foam, latex and hybrid constructions, alongside other sleep and home-comfort products.

Bringing the SleepyCat Experience Closer to Customers

The opening of the Gurgaon store is part of SleepyCat’s broader approach to combining its digital presence with physical retail experiences. The Sleep Studios are designed to give customers a hands-on understanding of products before they make a purchase.

From testing mattress firmness to exploring pillows and other sleep accessories, shoppers can take their time understanding what works for them. The in-store experience also gives customers an opportunity to interact with SleepyCat’s team and seek guidance based on their individual requirements.

From One Store to 50

Reaching the 50-store milestone represents a significant phase in SleepyCat’s retail expansion. With its growing network of Sleep Studios, SleepyCat is increasing its physical presence across multiple cities and making it easier for customers to experience its products offline.

The Gurgaon opening adds another location to this expanding network while marking a milestone for the brand’s retail journey. For SleepyCat, the 50th store is not simply another retail location—it represents the continued effort to make mattress shopping more experiential and accessible.

A New Destination for Better Sleep in Gurgaon

With the opening of its 50th Sleep Studio, SleepyCat is bringing its sleep-focused retail experience to more customers in Gurgaon. The new store gives local shoppers a space to explore mattresses in person, understand their options and make a more informed choice about their sleep setup.

As SleepyCat continues to expand its offline footprint across India, the Gurgaon store marks both a new beginning for local customers and an important milestone in the brand’s journey.

Fifty stores later, SleepyCat’s focus remains the same: helping more people discover a more comfortable way to sleep.

Salt Oral Care Hits ₹2 Crore a Month in Revenue

Indian oral-care brand combines design-led innovation with a capital-efficient approach to growth

MUMBAI, India, Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Salt Oral Care, founded by Karan Raj Kohli and Viraj Kapur, has reached approximately ₹2 crore in monthly revenue. The Indian oral-care brand is building its business through a combination of product innovation, design-led branding and disciplined operating economics.

The company’s portfolio spans toothpaste, mouthwashes, whitening and colour-correction products, gum care, sensitivity and remineralisation, along with toothbrushes, electric toothbrushes, water flossers and mouth sprays. Its aluminium toothpaste tubes and textured glass mouthwash bottles reflect its approach to making oral-care products part of the wider personal-care and wellness environment.

Products such as Flash Teeth Whitening Toothpaste, Chamak Whitening Mouthwash and Aura Tooth Color Corrector Serum extend the brand’s focus into appearance-led oral care, while the wider portfolio addresses everyday needs including fresh breath, gum care and sensitivity.

Growth and business model

Salt has reached the revenue milestone without significant external funding. The founders say the business has prioritised sensible unit economics, disciplined spending and reinvestment based on consumer demand, rather than treating fundraising as the primary measure of growth. The company expects to become profitable within the next few months.

“Reaching approximately ₹2 crore in monthly revenue is an important milestone for Salt and validates the demand for oral-care products that combine efficacy, design and experience. The focus remains on building a meaningful, long-term brand while staying close to consumer needs.”

— Karan Raj Kohli, Co-Founder, Salt Oral Care

“Our objective has always been to build a sustainable consumer business with sound economics, rather than pursue scale for its own sake. The next phase will focus on strengthening the portfolio, expanding the brand’s reach and progressing towards profitability with discipline.”

— Viraj Kapur, Co-Founder, Salt Oral Care

Next phase

Salt is also developing a dedicated kids’ oral-care range, expanding its presence into family oral care. The company’s broader vision is to contribute to the evolution of oral care from a primarily functional category into one where efficacy, formulation, design and user experience are considered together.Salt plans to introduce a series of collaborations that bring oral care into new consumer and cultural spaces just like it did with beauty giant Laneige.

About Salt Oral Care

Salt Oral Care is an Indian modern oral-care brand focused on innovative formulations, elevated product experiences and a beauty-and-wellness-led approach. Its portfolio includes toothpaste, whitening and colour-correction products, mouthwashes, toothbrushes, electric toothbrushes, water flossers, mouth sprays and travel products.

Guillermo Ochoa fronts new campaign backing BC.Game’s commitment to a regulated Mexican market

Five-time World Cup goalkeeper explains the due diligence behind his partnership, as BC.GAME reinforces its SEGOB-licensed operations, local payment rails, and rapid payouts for Mexican players.

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BC.GAME, the crypto and iGaming platform operating in Mexico via BCGAME.mx, today released a new brand campaign featuring Mexican football legend Guillermo “Memo” Ochoa. In the video, the five-time World Cup veteran explains the personal standards he applied before agreeing to represent the platform.

The video campaign features the legendary goalkeeper speaking about his reasons to partner with and endorse BC.GAME, including how he tested the platform himself, established trust and fairness, and why Mexican players can trust BC.GAME.mx.

“Trust is never given to you, you earn it,” Ochoa says in the video. “After five World Cups, if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that. So before I put my name next to any brand, I ask the hard questions first.”

For Ochoa, that meant verifying BC.GAME’s regulatory standing and operational practices first hand. “I asked about their license. BC.GAME holds a legitimate SEGOB permit and operates legally in Mexico. I asked about how people pay. You can deposit at your neighborhood OXXO, or transfer straight from your bank through SPEI. I checked all of it myself.”

The goalkeeper, who is renowned for his longevity, sharp reflexes and read of the game, connected what made him great on the pitch directly to his decision to partner with BC.GAME. “The real question is: do they actually pay you when you win? The answer is yes. Withdrawals take minutes, not weeks. As a goalkeeper, you learn to sense when something’s off. Here, everything was clear.”

The campaign closes on a note of both belonging and responsibility. “In Mexico, football isn’t just something you watch, it’s something you feel. The incredible moments, and the heartbreak, too. But it’s always something we share. Now we get to share that with BC.GAME,” Ochoa says. “One more thing: remember, this is entertainment. Play smart, play responsibly. See you on the pitch.”

A broader bet on Mexico

Ochoa’s campaign lands alongside a wider push by BC.GAME to establish Mexico as a key market for regulated iGaming in Latin America. According to Erick Sapien, BC.GAME’s Mexico Country Manager, the country offers a rare combination of market size, smartphone adoption, digital infrastructure, and a strong football culture, which Sapien describes as “a recipe for success” for the sector.

“Compliance is not an afterthought, it forms a core pillar of sustainable expansion,” Sapien said, highlighting BC.GAME.mx’s alignment with local licensing requirements as the foundation for long-term player trust. “Operating within Mexico’s established regulatory framework gives responsible operators the foundation to build long-term player trust and sustainable local operations.”

Sapien also frames the Ochoa partnership as central to that strategy rather than a standalone marketing play. “Football in Mexico is not merely a sport; it is a shared cultural passion that spans generations,” he said, noting that partnerships with figures like Ochoa allow the platform to build tailored football communications and fan experiences that “standard global campaigns simply cannot match”.

Built on transparency

BC.GAME states that the campaign’s emphasis on fast, reliable payouts reflects operational commitments already built into BCGAME.mx. These include provably fair verification, local payment integration via OXXO and SPEI, and easily accessible responsible gaming resources.

“Securing a foothold in the market is only the first step,” Sapien said. “Long-term user retention depends on intuitive navigation, transparent payment processing, responsive support, and clear account management.”

Ochoa backing BC.GAME

BC.GAME announced the signing of Mexican football legend Guillermo “Memo” Ochoa as brand ambassador in July 2026. The partnership represents a significant step in BC.GAME’s localised growth strategy, with Ochoa supporting football-led brand communications, promotions and fan engagement activity designed specifically for Mexican audiences.

As one of the most recognisable figures in Mexican football, Ochoa brings strong local credibility and international profile to BC.GAME at a time when football culture in Mexico is attracting heightened global attention.

L’Oréal Paris to Host Le Défilé at The Eiffel tower, Celebrating Sisterhood, Diversity and Inclusion

• Returns for the 9th edition of Le Défilé at the Eiffel Tower under the theme “Express Your Worth,” featuring ambassador Aishwarya Rai Bachchan alongside an international line-up.
• The brand has teamed up with Amazon (online partner) and Lifestyle Stores (offline partner) to bring the Paris Fashion Week experience directly to Indian consumers.
• The event marks the debut of the new L’Oréal Paris Runway Matte Collection, featuring five bold shades of Infallible Matte Resistance Liquid Lipsticks curated for Indian skin tones, timed perfectly for the festive season.

MUMBAI, India, Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — L’Oréal Paris will return to Paris Fashion Week with its iconic runway show, Le Défilé L’Oréal Paris, on 28th September 2026 at Place Joffre set in front of the iconic Eiffel Tower. Now in its ninth edition, the annual showcase brings together leading global voices from fashion, beauty and entertainment to celebrate women’s empowerment, sisterhood, diversity and inclusion.

Since its debut in 2017, Le Défilé has evolved into a global platform for L’Oréal Paris to champion its belief that every woman should have the confidence to express her individuality and recognise her worth. This year, the show will bring this message to life through the theme “Express Your Worth“, celebrating women across generations, backgrounds and identities.

Aishwarya’s return to the Le Défilé runway reflects the show’s continued spirit of strength, individuality and confidence, while reinforcing L’Oréal Paris’ long-standing commitment to empowering women to define beauty on their own terms.

Extending the celebration beyond Paris, L’Oréal Paris has partnered with Amazon in India as its online partner and Lifestyle Stores as its offline partner, bringing the beauty inspiration from Le Défilé closer to Indian consumers. This year’s event also marks the unveiling of the L’Oréal Paris Runway Matte Collection, featuring 5 bold new shades of Infallible Matte Resistance Liquid Lipstick, curated for Indian skin tones.

Taking centre stage in Paris, 423 Audacious Red will be worn by ambassador Aishwarya Rai Bachchan at Paris Fashion Week, making it the season’s ultimate hero red.

Speaking about the significance of India’s presence on this iconic platform, Pravallika Bommareddy, General Manager, L’Oréal Paris India, said, “Le Défilé is a celebration of beauty, fashion and the diverse voices that shape culture today. India’s presence on this global platform reflects the growing influence of Indian beauty and our evolving role in the international beauty conversation. Furthermore, through our collaboration with retail partners across online and offline channels, we are bringing that experience closer to Indian consumers and inviting them to discover and express beauty in their own way.”

Siddharth Bhagat, Director – Amazon Beauty, Personal Care and Fashion Accessories, said, “We’re thrilled to bring the essence of Parisian beauty to India with L’Oréal Paris’ Runway Matte Collection, debuting at Paris Fashion Week. Featuring five bold new shades, thoughtfully curated for Indian skin tones, the collection will be available to customers across Bharat just in time for the festive season. For us, this is about bringing a global beauty moment closer to customers while celebrating the diversity of Indian women and giving every woman the freedom to find a shade that feels uniquely hers.”

Mr. Devarajan Iyer, CEO & Executive Director, Lifestyle International Pvt. Ltd., said, “L’Oréal Paris has been a valued and long-standing partner of Lifestyle Stores, and this association marks another significant milestone in our enduring relationship. As the official retail partner for L’Oréal Paris Le Défilé, we are delighted to extend this partnership through the exclusive launch of the Runway Matte collection at Lifestyle Stores. It reflects our shared commitment to bringing global fashion and beauty trends to the Indian consumer and creating experiences that are aspirational, accessible, and relevant to their evolving needs.”

TerraTern Places 200+ Nurses and Physiotherapists in Germany and Austria

BANGALORE, India, Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TerraTern, India’s fast-growing, AI-native global talent mobility platform, has announced the placement of 200+ nurses and physiotherapists in accredited hospitals and healthcare institutions across Germany and Austria.

One of the largest simultaneous healthcare placements in the company’s history and a marker of the link between India’s skilled nursing workforce and the staffing crisis facing ageing Western economies. The placements span university hospitals, geriatric care networks, and elderly care homes, supported by TerraTern‘s healthcare vertical, which offers German-language training, mock tests, AI-enabled mock interviews, cultural preparation, and employer interviews.

The Global Nursing Crisis

The world faces a severe nursing shortage, projected by the WHO’s 2025 State of the World’s Nursing report to reach 4.1 million by 2030, concentrated in high-income economies where ageing outpaces population growth. Germany alone needs nearly 500,000 foreign-trained nurses by 2030, while physiotherapists face similar demand. Germany’s Economic Institute recorded over 12,000 vacant physiotherapist positions in 2024-25, more than any other profession.

The Challenge for Indian Nurses

India produces some of the world’s largest numbers of trained nurses, many of whom remain underutilised at home despite better opportunities abroad. The biggest barriers to migration are the German language, formal recognition of nursing qualifications, and the visa process.

TerraTern’s Advantage

TerraTern’s healthcare vertical addresses this through the Germany Nursing Program by combining an AI-based eligibility tool with in-house German tutors, interview simulations, and full visa and credential-recognition support. This offers a single, responsible pathway rather than a multi-agency process, one that also reaches regional hospitals and smaller nursing colleges often overlooked by metro-centric agencies.

Outcomes & Impact: Placing 200+ Nurses

• Demographic and Educational Breakdown
  
  Of the nurses placed so far, 34% hold GNM diplomas and 66% hold BSc Nursing degrees, drawn from across India, including Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Punjab, Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh, and Andhra Pradesh.
  
  
  
  
• Primary Destination Markets
  
  In Germany, most candidates take direct positions in university hospitals or specialised care networks after clearing the B2 language exam and a fast tracked credential recognition process.
  
  
  
  Austria offers a parallel path to public and private hospital groups for candidates who complete B1/B2 German training and nostrification of their qualifications.
  
  
  
  
• Socio-Economic Multiplier
  
  For most candidates, the outcome is transformational: pay roughly 10 times higher than entry-level jobs in India, plus a clear path to permanent residency within a few years.

How does TerraTern Enables Nurses to Land High-Demand Jobs in Germany?

TerraTern manages each placement as one continuous pipeline rather than passing candidates between vendors. This begins with structured German language training from beginner to B2 level, backed by Goethe-style mock tests and AI interview practice, followed by AI-powered mock interviews with human examiner coaching to build confidence, and cultural preparation covering workplace conduct and institutional norms.

TerraTern then arranges direct interviews with partner hospitals, sometimes hosting employers on-site, before managing the full visa process, including credential recognition and coordination with German authorities. Support continues after arrival, covering local registration, accommodation, banking, and the complete settling in.

Real-World Impact Story

Helen, a GNM nurse from Kerala’s Wayanad district, spent two years earning around ₹16,000 a month in a hospital in Thrissur, before recruiters told her she lacked ‘the profile’ for jobs abroad. Starting German from A1 with no prior knowledge, she fit live classes around her shifts until reaching B2, and TerraTern secured her a direct interview with a hospital group in North Rhine-Westphalia, where she now works in a surgical ward earning roughly ten times her previous salary.

“Every single placement represents a profound socio-economic transformation. When a nurse like Helen from Wayanad goes from earning ₹16,000 a month to earning multifold in a premier German hospital, it changes the trajectory of an entire family. For years, traditional agencies overlooked talent from smaller colleges and non-metro regions. Our mission at TerraTern is to democratise global mobility, ensuring that ambition and dedication, backed by the right linguistic and cultural training, are the only prerequisites for a global healthcare career.” – Divyansh Chaudhari, Founder & CEO, TerraTern

The Future of Healthcare Talent

TerraTern calls this cohort a starting point, targeting 500+ placements next financial year and expanding tie-ups with hospitals and care networks across Germany, Austria,  Japan, Australia, and the Netherlands to build a scalable, repeatable pathway for India’s nursing workforce.
