Dr. Amita Shah from Manipal Hospital Gurugram becomes First Gynaecologist in India to perform 41 Robotic Surgeries in 90 Days

The achievement comes as Dr. Amita Shah successfully treats complex endometriosis cases using advanced robot-assisted and minimally invasive techniques with a focus on fertility preservations

GURUGRAM, India, Sept. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In a significant advancement in women’s healthcare, Manipal Hospital Gurugram has successfully treated complex cases of endometriosis using advanced laparoscopic and robot-assisted techniques, led by Dr. Amita Shah, Chairman – Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Robotic Laparoscopy & Endoscopy Surgery. The achievement comes as Dr. Amita Shah becomes the first gynaecologist in India to perform 41 robotic gynaecological surgeries in 90 days. Endometriosis affects nearly 190 million women worldwide and is often mistaken for routine menstrual pain, despite its potential impact on quality of life and fertility. Minimally invasive surgery now enables precise treatment while helping preserve healthy pelvic tissue and reproductive function.

The cases presented at the event highlighted the varied and complex ways endometriosis can affect women, from severe period pain and infertility to large cysts and extensive pelvic adhesions. The cases included a 32-year-old woman with deep endometriosis, a 29-year-old woman who successfully conceived following fertility-preserving surgery, a 36-year-oldwoman with an endometriotic cyst the size of an 18-week pregnancy, and a 31-year-oldwoman with bilateral cysts and extensive adhesions affecting her fallopian tubes. Advanced minimally invasive and robot-assisted techniques enabled precise treatment while preserving healthy tissue and reproductive function wherever possible.

Addressing the issue of rising endometriosis cases in India, Dr. Amita Shah, Chairman – Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Robotic Laparoscopy & Endoscopy Surgery, Manipal Hospital Gurugram, said, “Endometriosis is far more than severe period pain. It is a progressive condition that can cause chronic pain, damage reproductive organs and affect fertility, yet its symptoms are often dismissed or normalised for years. These cases highlight the complex ways the disease can affect women and the importance of timely diagnosis and treatment. In complex cases involving deep lesions, large cysts or extensive adhesions, surgical precision is critical. Robot-assisted surgery, with its high-definition 3D vision and enhanced precision, enables us to treat the disease while preserving healthy tissue and reproductive function wherever possible. No woman should have to accept debilitating pain as ‘normal’ when effective, minimally invasive treatment options are available.”

Manipal Hospital continues to advance women’s healthcare through the use of robotic and laparoscopic techniques in complex gynaecological care. By combining surgical precision with faster recovery and a focus on preserving fertility, the hospital is enabling more effective treatment for women with complex conditions. These cases also underscore the importance of early diagnosis and timely intervention in preventing disease progression and protecting long-term health and quality of life.

Engineering the Next Horizon: FAW TRUCKS Ready to Deliver in Hannover

HANNOVER, Germany, Sept. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The 72nd IAA TRANSPORTATION will run from September 14 through September 20 at the Hannover Exhibition Grounds in Germany. Under the theme “Engineering the Next Horizon, Delivering the Next Journey” FAW TRUCKS will make a strong showing with five vehicle models, including the CORTRON CS600, and nine core assemblies—opening a dialogue between its historic legacy and its exploration of the future on the global commercial vehicle stage.

During the show, the five vehicles on display will together trace FAW TRUCKS’s 70-year journey from its beginnings to industry leadership. The lineup will include three CORTRON CS tractors spanning diesel and battery-electric powertrain options. Developed for the long-haul transport market, the diesel models feature a new generation of core assemblies developed in-house, reducing vehicle fuel consumption by 15%. The battery-electric model is built on an 800 V high-voltage platform and supports dual-connector CCS2 fast charging at up to 1,000 A, with a single-connector Megawatt Charging System (MCS) available as an option. It also features a dual-motor e-axle with a peak transmission efficiency of 94.5%.

The stand will also feature nine core assemblies developed in-house, including the GD300 and ER540 Power Domains. Spanning multiple energy pathways—including conventional fuels, battery-electric power, and hydrogen—the lineup demonstrates FAW TRUCKS’s strong in-house development capabilities.

Located at Stand B10, Hall 24, the FAW TRUCKS stand features an open-plan design with four themed zones: Low Carbon, Zero Carbon, Ecosystem, and Future. These zones respectively showcase advances in energy efficiency and carbon reduction for conventional powertrains, the new-energy product portfolio, full-lifecycle solutions, and cutting-edge technologies for next-generation intelligent logistics. Each exhibit has its own QR code, while detailed product information is also available on a dedicated microsite. By integrating the on-site and online experiences, FAW TRUCKS extends the exhibition beyond the boundaries of time and place.

At this year’s exhibition, FAW TRUCKS will exhibit alongside partners including FAWER, FAWAY, FAWSN, SmartLink, and Zhuoyu Technology. Together, they will showcase FAW TRUCKS’s transformation from operating solely as a manufacturer to becoming an integrated “products + services + ecosystem” solutions provider, while creating a platform for deeper engagement with customers and the wider industry ecosystem worldwide. Looking ahead, FAW TRUCKS will remain committed to independent technology development, continue advancing its core capabilities in multi-energy powertrains and intelligent connectivity, expand the global reach of Chinese commercial vehicles, and contribute to the high-quality development of the global transport industry.

Phi Commerce goes beyond payments with new UPI credit, issuer and open-commerce infrastructure

MUMBAI, India, Sept. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Phi Commerce, a payment technology company, today announced a set of new platforms and strategic initiatives at Global Fintech Fest 2026 spanning UPI-native credit, bank issuer infrastructure, net-banking connectivity and open-commerce financing.

The announcements reflect Phi Commerce’s expanding focus from enabling digital payments to building technology infrastructure through which banks, payment aggregators and digital-commerce platforms can deliver new payment and credit experiences.

Bringing credit onto UPI

Phi Commerce has launched Credit Line on UPI (CLOU), a pre-approved credit facility integrated directly with a user’s UPI ID. Powered by PhiAMS, CLOU enables banks to extend UPI-native credit for everyday and small-ticket purchases across the existing UPI merchant ecosystem.

Unlike a RuPay credit card, which requires issuing a physical or virtual card and linking it to UPI, CLOU provides a virtual credit line directly through the UPI journey. Banks can identify eligible customers, assign risk-graded credit limits, communicate pre-approved offers, and enable customers to consent to and activate the facility digitally.

For banks, CLOU brings together credit assessment, credit-line creation, consent and activation, transaction processing, risk controls, billing, payments and collections on a unified platform.

A new infrastructure layer for card and credit issuance

Phi Commerce has also unveiled PhiAMS, its cloud-native, API-first card and account management platform designed for banks and other financial institutions.

Built around a modular, event-driven microservices architecture, PhiAMS supports the credit lifecycle from origination and product configuration through limit management, authorisation, billing, payments, collections, risk and customer servicing. The platform supports multiple credit products, including retail and corporate cards, virtual cards, BNPL, and co-branded programmes.

PhiAMS helps banks launch and customise products faster while reducing dependency across technology layers. Its capabilities include automated credit assessment using AI, configurable product and credit controls, fraud and risk management, and regulatory features such as audit logs, data localisation, and maker/checker-based controls.

Making net-banking payments more interoperable

Phi Commerce is also expanding its payment infrastructure through Bharat Connect, the centralised interoperable platform developed by NBBL to simplify net-banking payments for payment aggregators.

Through Phi BCaaS, Phi Commerce enables payment aggregators to seamlessly onboard the net-banking layer using standard protocols, simplifying integration and deployment.

This extends Phi Commerce’s payment technology stack across the acquiring ecosystem, alongside its issuing-side capabilities through PhiAMS and CLOU.

Taking credit into open commerce

Phi Commerce has entered into a strategic partnership with the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) to become a payment aggregator on ONDC’s credit rails, with an initial affordability proposition focused on health and life insurance.

The initiative connects insurance providers with multiple lenders over standard digital rails, allowing large annual premiums to be converted into manageable monthly payments. For example, a ₹30,000 annual premium can be converted into monthly payments of ₹2,500.

The infrastructure is designed to simplify lender connectivity, accelerate deployment and reduce distribution complexity, while creating the potential to extend financing-led affordability into other sectors such as retail, education and healthcare.

Building what comes after payments

“India has built extraordinary digital infrastructure for moving money. The next opportunity is to build the infrastructure that allows banks and businesses to put that scale to work across credit, commerce and new financial products,” said Rajesh Londhe, Co-founder, Phi Commerce.

The new offerings expand Phi Commerce’s technology stack across both sides of the payments ecosystem, from issuing and managing credit products for banks through PhiAMS and CLOU, to enabling acquiring and payment connectivity through its Bharat Connect capabilities. Together, they reflect Phi Commerce’s broader focus on building a unified payment technology platform that enables financial institutions and businesses to build, manage and scale digital payment and credit products.

Beyond the Medal: SBI Life honours the aspirations and journeys behind India’s historic Glasgow 2026 para-sports triumph

The felicitation recognises not just the medals won, but the determination, dreams, struggles, setbacks, ups, downs and the people who believed

NEW DELHI, Sept. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — When a medal is won the world witnesses the winning moment, but the journey behind the medal takes years. It takes the courage to begin, the resilience to continue, the belief to overcome setbacks and often, the quiet support of families, coaches and loved ones who stand by an aspiration long before the world sees it on the podium. Recognising the stories behind India’s creditable performance at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, SBI Life Insurance, alongside Paralympic Committee of India (PCI), felicitated India’s para-athletes who brought home seven medals, three Gold, two Silver and two Bronze.

The medallists felicitated by Mr. Amit Jhingran, MD & CEO, SBI Life Insurance, and Mr. Devendra Jhajharia, President, Paralympic Committee of India (PCI), included Sharmila Dhankar (Gold, Women’s Shot Put F57), Dilip Mahadu Gavit (Gold, Men’s 100m T47), Soman Rana (Gold, Men’s Shot Put F57), Mohammed Basil Morssinganakath (Silver, Men’s 100m T47), Shubham Juyal (Silver, Men’s Shot Put F57), Shilpa Shyla (Bronze, Women’s Shot Put F57), and Jhandu Kumar (Bronze, Men’s Heavyweight Para Powerlifting).

Behind every throw, sprint and lift is a dream that began much earlier, behind every para-athlete there are people who believed in that dream, nurtured it and stood by it through moments of triumph and uncertainty. SBI Life’s association with Paralympic Committee of India is inspired by these people, the coaches, family members, well-wishers who stood alongside the individuals as ‘enablers’, ensuring they pursue their dreams and explore their potential to the fullest. 

Speaking at the felicitation, Mr. Amit Jhingran, MD & CEO, SBI Life Insurance, said, “The awe-inspiring stories of our para-athletes need to be told to the world. Every time a para-athlete wins, it is a win for the society, it speaks volumes about the inclusive cultural fabric of this great nation. SBI Life’s partnership with Paralympic Committee of India strives to bring forth the backstories of our para-athletes as an inspiration for the larger populace.”

He further added, “We are honoured to felicitate these exceptional athletes not simply for the medals they have brought home, but for the spirit with which they have pursued excellence. Their journeys remind us that achievement is not defined only by what one accomplishes, but also by the courage to begin, the resilience to continue and the people who stand beside us along the way.”

Mr. Devendra Jhajharia, President – Paralympic Committee of India said, “Behind every medal lies a journey of determination, sacrifice and resilience, supported by families, coaches and countless enablers who believe in the athlete long before the world sees the medal. The seven medals at Glasgow 2026 are a proud moment for India and a reflection of the growing strength of Indian para-sport. We are grateful to SBI Life Insurance for recognizing the stories behind these achievements and, importantly, the people who make these journeys possible. Partnerships such as these help strengthen the ecosystem around our athletes and ensure that their aspirations receive the support they deserve. Because a medal represents a moment of recognition, but the story behind it is a lifetime of hard work.”

Mr. Ravindra Sharma, EVP & Chief of Brand, Corporate Communications & CSR, SBI Life Insurance, said, “At SBI Life, we believe that life is about pursuing what matters to you, while staying connected to the people who matter most. This belief is at the heart of our philosophy, ‘Apne Liye, Apno Ke Liye‘, and is reflected in our association with the Paralympic Committee of India. It is about standing alongside individuals who have the courage to pursue their aspirations, while recognising the people and communities who make those journeys possible.”

He further added, “When we look at a medal, we see the final moment—the record, the podium and the achievement. But the real story begins much earlier, when the medal is still only a dream. It lies in the years of preparation, the setbacks overcome, the moments of doubt and the determination to keep showing up. India’s seven medals in Glasgow are therefore not just seven achievements; they represent seven deeply personal journeys, shaped by athletes, families, coaches and communities who believed long before the world took notice. And that is the power of these stories—they do not simply redefine what is possible for one athlete; they expand what an entire generation can believe is possible.”

As the Indian contingent looks ahead to the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Para Games, SBI Life will continue its association with the Paralympic Committee of India, supporting the country’s para-sporting ecosystem and standing alongside athletes as they pursue new ambitions.
