SINGAPORE, Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tickets are now available for The Story of Studio Ghibli, the immersive exhibition featuring world premiere experiences in Singapore. Opening on 18 December 2026 at Gardens by the Bay, the Singapore edition will span nearly 3,500 square metres, making it the largest presentation of The Story of Studio Ghibli to date. The exhibition invites visitors to journey through unforgettable moments from beloved films including Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle, The Boy and the Heron, and more.

Founded in 1985 by Isao Takahata, Hayao Miyazaki and Toshio Suzuki, Studio Ghibli has become one of the world’s most influential animation studios. Its films have captivated audiences worldwide through timeless storytelling, memorable characters and themes of kindness, courage, respect for nature, and hope, which continue to resonate across generations.

Produced by TSUKURU, INC. and M Experience, and supported by the Singapore Tourism Board, The Story of Studio Ghibli transforms these celebrated films into an immersive, walk-through experience featuring 12 life-sized recreated worlds. Visitors can encounter the majestic Ohmu from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, stand beside Totoro while waiting for the Catbus from My Neighbor Totoro, wander through the mysterious streets of Spirited Away, and experience the world’s first eight-metre-tall three-dimensional recreation of its iconic bathhouse. Interactive multimedia installations throughout the exhibition place visitors at the centre of each story, transforming familiar scenes into experiences best encountered in person.

The Story of Studio Ghibli offers both longtime fans and a new generation of audiences an opportunity to explore these stories in a new way. Beyond recreating scenes from the films, visitors are invited to journey beyond the artwork and production materials, engage more deeply with the stories themselves and rediscover the ideas and values that continue to resonate across cultures and generations.

“The Story of Studio Ghibli is not simply an exhibition to be viewed. It is an experience to be felt. Through 12 recreated immersive scenes inspired by iconic Studio Ghibli films, visitors will be invited to step into the stories themselves and connect with the emotions, values and imagination that continue to resonate across cultures and generations,” said Sean Lim, CEO, M Experience.

Shanghai Electric Secures First Overseas Heavy-Duty Gas Turbine Order for 500 MW Malaysian Project

SHANGHAI, Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Shanghai Electric (SEHK: 02727, SSE: 601727) has achieved a milestone in the high-end overseas energy sector by securing the contract for Unit 3 of the Sarawak Samalaju Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) Project in Malaysia. The win represents significant international recognition of Shanghai Electric’s heavy-duty gas turbine technology, underscoring the company’s growing competitiveness in the global gas turbine market.

Under the agreement, Shanghai Electric will deliver a full EPC turnkey solution for the gas-fired power plant, coupled with a 25-year long-term service agreement (LTSA) covering all major equipment. Notably, every core component—from gas turbines and steam turbines to generators, heat recovery steam generators, and air-cooled systems—will be manufactured in-house by Shanghai Electric, which will also serve as the sole provider of the long-term maintenance and service program. This integrated, end-to-end capability gives Shanghai Electric full life-cycle coverage, spanning equipment manufacturing, systems integration, and multi-decade operational support—a vertical model that brings the company on par with the established global leaders in the heavy-duty gas turbine sector.

Shanghai Electric’s current heavy-duty gas turbine lineup features two principal models, with output ratings of 300 MW and 78 MW, respectively. To date, the company has delivered 103 units, with total installed capacity from commissioned projects exceeding 21,000 MW. The units covered by Shanghai Electric’s long-term service and maintenance programs have accumulated more than 1.3 million operating hours. With robust production capacity available across both turbine classes, Shanghai Electric is positioned to offer new units for delivery as early as 2028. Beyond the Malaysian energy developer that awarded the current contract, project developers in Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam have also expressed strong interest in placing orders.

PwC US and PwC India Form Joint Venture to Help Clients Grow and Compete at Greater Speed and Scale

Strategic combination brings together the breadth of PwC’s advisory talent and capabilities across India and the US into a single, integrated platform for global clients

NEW YORK, Sept. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — PwC US and PwC India today announced a joint venture that brings together the full breadth of their advisory talent and capabilities across India and the US — uniting PwC India’s Consulting business and PwC US Advisory’s India-based capabilities into a single, integrated platform to serve clients in India, the US, and around the world. 

India is increasingly central to how global companies grow and operate — as a significant and fast-growing market, a hub for Global Capability Centers, and a source of world-class talent and innovation. At the same time, clients are looking for deeper expertise, greater scale, and more seamless access to capabilities across markets. Rather than adding capacity in one place, the joint venture connects market relationships, industry expertise, and delivery into one team — so clients can access the right capabilities, wherever they sit. 

“The firms that win will be the ones that stop thinking about markets, capabilities, and delivery as separate pieces. That’s what makes this combination so powerful,” said Paul Griggs, PwC US Senior Partner and CEO. “We’re bringing the full breadth of our advisory talent in India together with PwC US — one team with the relationships, expertise, and scale to deliver for our clients and the PwC network. This isn’t about where work gets done. It’s about building something clients can’t get anywhere else: the best of PwC, brought together around their biggest opportunities, wherever they operate.” 

The combined platform spans the full spectrum of client needs — from strategy and transformation through technology, engineering, and AI. It brings together managed services at greater scale, expanding PwC’s ability to advise clients and to operate critical parts of their businesses. The platform is expected to more seamlessly support US-headquartered enterprises with Global Capability Centers in India, strengthen how PwC serves clients across major global trade flows, and create a stronger foundation for innovation as AI continues to reshape how work is delivered. 

The joint venture also advances PwC’s broader ambition to build a more globally integrated consulting model, giving PwC firms around the world greater access to the combined talent and expertise of the new platform. 

“Throughout our more than 150 years’ history in the country, we have been committed to the growth of India. Our Vision 2030 aligns our commitment to building a Viksit Bharat, and this joint venture is a step in that direction. For PwC India, this is a testimony to the tremendous journey of growth that we have been on over the last five years and our position of strength in the network. It is a matter of great pride for us that PwC India now has an opportunity to play a greater role in the success of our Global Network,” said Sanjeev Krishan, Chairperson of PwC India and the incoming CEO of the new joint venture. “This brings together strengths that used to sit in different places, allowing us to better serve clients across the world by combining the might of PwC’s global consulting capabilities with the best talent from India. It means our domestic clients gain access to best-in-class global capabilities, our multinational and GCC clients are served more seamlessly, and the capability and client perimeter for our partners and people go up, so they can take on a greater ambition than what we envisioned in Vision 2030. It also enables us to make greater investments in our people and in the value we can create for clients — in India and everywhere in the world they operate.” 

The signing marks an important milestone and the beginning of the next phase. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of calendar year 2027, subject to closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Until then, PwC US and PwC India will continue to serve clients through their existing structures and ways of working. The financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed. The joint venture will be owned and governed by PwC US and PwC India. 

About PwC 

At PwC, we help clients build trust and reinvent so they can turn complexity into competitive advantage. We’re a tech-forward, people-empowered network with more than 364,000 people in 136 countries and 137 territories.

The ceremony brought together Crown leaders, local government representatives, customers and guests to commemorate the start of construction on the new facility in Unnao, Uttar Pradesh.

Announced in April 2026, the state-of-the-art plant will feature two production lines with an annual capacity of approximately 2.2 billion aluminum beverage cans. Operations are scheduled to commence in the second half of 2027.

The groundbreaking ceremony, which reflected local traditions and marked the official commencement of construction, underscored Crown’s long-term commitment to India and the state of Uttar Pradesh. Following the event, Crown executives had the honor of meeting with the Honorable Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Shri Yogi Adityanath, to discuss the progress of the Company’s investment and its vision for supporting the continued growth of the beverage industry in India. During the meeting, Crown received the official land allotment letter for the project, representing another important milestone in the development of the Company’s first beverage can manufacturing facility in the country.

Djalma Novaes, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, said: “This investment reflects Crown’s confidence in the future of the Indian beverage market, and the growing role of the beverage can as a sustainable packaging solution. The Unnao facility will combine advanced manufacturing technology, operational excellence and responsible resource management to support our customers’ growth while creating long-term value for the region.”

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.
