UP Rise 2026: Bridging Students with Industry, Government, and Entrepreneurship
Greater Noida, Oct 08: Sharda University successfully organized ‘UP Rise 2026’, an initiative of the Government of Uttar Pradesh aimed at connecting students with the industrial sector, government opportunities, entrepreneurship, and rapidly emerging career paths. The programme was part of a statewide movement across 30 institutes in Uttar Pradesh, collectively reaching over 700 million people, making it one of the largest student‑industry‑government engagement drives in the state.
The initiative provided students with a comprehensive ecosystem to interact with industry leaders, government scheme facilitators, and entrepreneurial mentors. It sought to foster skills, innovation, entrepreneurship, and employability‑oriented mindsets, preparing youth to be self‑reliant and future‑ready. Students participated in live pitch sessions, industry case challenges, and interactive dialogues with corporate recruiters and mentors, while also availing on‑the‑spot registration for government schemes such as CM Yuva Yojana, PMKVY, Mission Shakti, ODOP, and ODOC.
In his keynote address, Chief Guest Paritosh Anand remarked: “UP Rise 2026 is more than an event—it is a movement of ideas, ambition, and courage. It gives young minds the chance to tell their stories, showcase their creativity, and connect with opportunities that can turn dreams into reality. By engaging with industry leaders, government facilitators, and mentors, students discover that the future is not something to wait for—it is something they can build today. This initiative reflects the power of youth to inspire change, create businesses that matter, and lead India into a new era of innovation and self‑reliance.”
Dr. Sibaram Khara, Vice-Chancellor of Sharda University, welcomed the chief guest and other dignitaries. He noted that the country possesses a vast youth population brimming with energy and innovative thinking. Under the leadership of the state government, the youth are gaining direction and new opportunities—an impact that will become evident in the near future. He added that Uttar Pradesh is steadily advancing in new sectors, and the participation of the youth plays a crucial role in this progress.
Adding to the perspectives, Dr. Amit Sehgal, Director of Sharda University Launchpad, highlighted: “A key attraction of UP Rise 2026 was the ‘Industry Case Challenges,’ which gave students the opportunity to solve real‑world business and social problems. These challenges sharpened their problem‑solving, analytical thinking, innovation, and teamwork skills, while bridging academic learning with workplace realities.”
He further said, “The enthusiasm and participation of students demonstrated their readiness to embrace new opportunities. UP Rise 2026 showcased Uttar Pradesh’s potential to become a hub of innovation, entrepreneurship, and talent development.”
The event concluded with resounding appreciation from participants and stakeholders, positioning UP Rise 2026 as a landmark initiative in fostering innovation, career readiness, and student empowerment across the state.

Odisha Bandh Disrupts Travel: Passengers Stranded, Doctor Stopped on Way to Hospital
Bhubaneswar, Oct 8 (UDN): The 12-hour Odisha bandh called by the INDIA bloc disrupted public transport and affected daily life across the state on Thursday, with buses and auto-rickshaws remaining largely off the roads and passengers struggling to reach their destinations.
Representational Image
The bandh began at 6 am and is scheduled to continue until 6 pm, with opposition parties urging people to keep vehicles off the roads and close shops, markets, commercial establishments and offices.
Passengers Left Stranded
The shutdown created significant difficulties for travellers in several parts of the state.
In Cuttack, passengers at bus stands reportedly faced trouble after bus services were disrupted. Some travellers said they were caught unaware by the bandh and were unable to find transport to return home.
A group of five passengers who had travelled to Puri reportedly said they were stranded after failing to find a bus back home.
Another passenger said hiring an auto-rickshaw was too expensive, leaving the family with little option but to wait at the bus stand.
Surgeon Stopped While Heading to Hospital
The bandh also led to an unusual situation in Bhubaneswar, where a surgeon was reportedly stopped while travelling to Capital Hospital to attend to patients and perform scheduled surgeries.
The doctor reportedly explained to the protesters that he was required to reach the hospital for medical duties and was subsequently allowed to proceed.
Essential and emergency services have been kept outside the purview of the bandh, with protesters directed not to obstruct medical care, ambulances and other critical services.
Security Stepped Up in Capital
The Commissionerate Police has strengthened security arrangements across Bhubaneswar to prevent any untoward incident during the shutdown.
Around 18 platoons of security personnel and 100 officers have reportedly been deployed or kept ready at key locations, including areas considered vulnerable to protests and traffic disruptions.
Police personnel are maintaining a close watch on major roads, public places and sensitive points as demonstrations continue.
Opposition Lists Four Key Demands
The INDIA bloc has called the bandh over several issues, including the demand for withdrawal of the MMDR Amendment Act, 2026.
The opposition parties have also sought the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, alleging irregularities in the electoral-roll revision process.
Another demand is the resignation of School and Mass Education Minister Nityananda Gond over alleged irregularities in school textbooks.
The opposition has additionally demanded immediate and adequate relief for families affected by floods in Odisha.
While the bandh has affected transport and commercial activity in several areas, authorities are continuing efforts to ensure that essential services remain operational and the situation remains peaceful.

Jan-Sep 2026 investments in Indian real estate touch USD 5.9 Bn, highest 9-month volume in recent years: Colliers India
Gurgaon, 08th October 2026: Institutional investments in Indian real estate remained strong during the first three quarters of 2026, with capital inflows reaching USD 5.9 billion, reflecting a 39% Year-on-Year (YoY) growth. This marks the highest 9-month investment volume in recent years, underscoring the continued investor optimism in India’s real estate sector. This optimism is more significant as Indian real estate has largely remained resilient to external volatilities, despite bleak global economic outlook and caution towards capital allocation in markets around the world.
Domestic investors remained the dominant source of capital during the nine-month period, contributing USD 3.5 billion and accounting close to 60% of the total investments during the period. A strong 59% YoY increase in domestic capital inflows highlights the depth and maturity of core real estate asset classes in India. At the same time, foreign investments also recorded a notable growth during the first three quarters of 2026, rising 17% YoY to about USD 2.4 billion. A significant share of foreign capital was directed towards developmental assets, driven by investors’ ongoing pursuit of long-term value creation in alternative, hospitality and mixed-use projects.
During Q3 2026, institutional capital inflows stood at USD 1.4 billion, a 12% YoY increase, albeit witnessing a 51% drop on a sequential basis.
“The strengthening of domestic capital is perhaps the most defining theme of institutional investments in Indian real estate. In Q3 2026, domestic investors drove about USD 0.9 billion inflows, accounting for nearly two-thirds of the total investments. Local investors continue to prefer core assets, with residential & office segments collectively accounting for 46% of the domestic capital allocation during the quarter. While residential investments were largely directed towards developmental projects, office investments were primarily focused on operational assets. Looking ahead, with evolving preferences across the risk-return spectrum, growing depth in domestic capital is expected to drive real estate investments in India, along with an uptick in foreign investment volumes in upcoming quarters,” said Badal Yagnik, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Colliers India.

The institutional flow of funds include investments by Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs), family offices, foreign corporate groups, foreign banks, pension funds, private equity, real estate funds & platforms, foreign-funded NBFCs, listed REITs and sovereign wealth funds. The data has been compiled as per available information in the public domain.
Office segment dominates with 37% share; hospitality & alternative assets see multi-fold growth
During the first three quarters of 2026, office segment attracted USD 2.2 billion in capital inflows, witnessing a 46% YoY rise. Domestic investors played a pivotal role, contributing more than 90% of the institutional inflows in the segment during the same period. Sustained leasing momentum across high-quality Grade A office assets and long-term demand prospects continue to reinforce the segment’s attractiveness amongst investors. While office assets remained the major driver of real estate investments, accounting for 37% share during the nine-month period, mixed-use & alternative assets followed, with each of them corresponding to a share of 16-17%.
Interestingly, alternative & hospitality segments have been one of the best performing segments in 2026 so far. During the nine-month period, alternative & hospitality assets garnered over USD 0.9 billion & USD 0.6 billion investments respectively, individually rising 6-7X times compared to the corresponding period of 2025. Strong foreign investor interest underpinned both segments, with overseas capital accounting for nearly three-fourths of alternative asset investments and almost the entirety of hospitality inflows during the period.
“Investor participation remained broad-based across real asset classes, albeit slightly more skewed on account of a marquee transaction in hospitality segment. All three core segments – office, residential and industrial & warehousing witnessed around USD 0.2-0.3 billion inflows each during Q3 2026. These three segments collectively accounted for nearly half of the quarterly investments led by domestic investors. Most importantly, buoyed by strong capital allocation across real estate segments, the first nine months of 2026 have already seen institutional investments to the tune of USD 5.9 billion, a 9-month high in recent years. This reiterates the confidence of investors in Indian real estate, even in the wake of growth moderation elsewhere,” said Vimal Nadar, National Director & Head of Research, Colliers India.
Bengaluru, Chennai & Delhi NCR collectively account for nearly one-third of the inflows; multi-city deals see more than 2X rise YoY
At around USD 0.6 billion inflows each, Bengaluru, Chennai & Delhi NCR dominated investment volumes, cumulatively accounting for nearly one-third share during the first nine months of 2026. Office assets drove majority of the investment inflows in these three cities during the same period. In fact, Delhi NCR witnessed close to three-fold rise in investment inflows during the nine-month period, reiterating sustained investor confidence in income-generating & operational Grade A assets.
At the same time, investor preference for diversified, multi-location portfolios remained noteworthy and surged over 2X times YoY during the first nine months of 2026. Multi-city deals attracted USD 2.9 billion inflows and contributed about half of the investment volumes during the same period.

TÜV SÜD on the New Management System Standard for Sustainability Goals
Munich. ISO/UNDP 53001 was published at the end of September. It provides organizations with a new international framework for integrating the UN Sustainable Development Goals into their management structures. Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the ISO/UNDP 53001 standard is the world’s first management system standard of its kind. It provides a structured approach for integrating the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into corporate governance, strategy, and operational processes. TÜV SÜD provides information on the newly published standard.
Sustainability has become an integral part of corporate strategy in many companies. However, consistently embedding environmental, social, and economic goals into existing management structures remains a challenge. ISO/UNDP 53001 addresses this need through a management system approach that helps companies define responsibilities, set goals, and monitor progress as part of a continuous improvement process. Since the standard follows the harmonized structure used in all ISO management system standards, it can be integrated into existing quality, environmental, or energy management systems.
“Sustainability can only be effective if it is integrated into a company’s daily decision-making and management processes,” says Sara Brandimarti, Global Head of Sustainability – Business Assurance Division at TÜV SÜD. “ISO 53001 provides a structured framework for this. It helps organizations systematically consider sustainability aspects and derive long-term changes from them that go beyond individual projects or reporting requirements.”
Response to Rising Stakeholder Expectations
The expectations of customers, investors, and regulatory authorities regarding sustainability continue to rise. Transparent and systematic management of sustainability issues is becoming increasingly important, particularly for companies operating in complex international supply chains. With ISO/UNDP 53001 as a certifiable standard, an independent certification body such as TÜV SÜD can now assess whether an organization’s SDG management system meets the standard’s requirements. Organizations that take this approach demonstrate that they manage their sustainability-related activities within a structured and transparent management framework.

Asset Managers Report Sharp Rise in Risk Across Investment, Operational Regulatory and Reputation, Clearwater Analytics Study Reveals
BOISE, Idaho, NEW YORK, CHICAGO, LONDON and HONG KONG, Oct 08 —A comprehensive global study, “The Crowded Trade”, commissioned by Clearwater Analytics, which surveyed 250 senior executives at fund managers across the U.S, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, finds credit and liquidity risks across nearly every category firms track.
Market risk has increased for 80% of asset managers over the past year, the largest rise of any risk category in the study, with 34% describing the increase as dramatic.Around three-quarters (77%) of respondents say credit risk has increased, with 51% saying it has done so dramatically. Some 71% of asset managers have experienced increases in liquidity risk, and 36% say those increases have been dramatic.Meanwhile, 71% say concentration risk has increased with 29% saying it has been dramatic.
Chris Sturhahn, Head of Product, Asset Management at Clearwater Analytics, said: “Market, credit, liquidity, and concentration risk are all rising at nearly every firm that responded. That's a harder problem than any one risk moving by itself, and it's a big part of why we're seeing firms shift into alternatives, expand hedging, and rotate into new markets and regions. Asset managers need more than performance data and they need real-time visibility into risk exposures, liquidity conditions and portfolio concentrations. Firms that can aggregate, analyze, and act on investment data quickly will be far better positioned to manage uncertainty and respond to changing market conditions.”
Looking across their operations, nearly three-quarters (73%) of asset managers say technology and cyber risk has increased, with half saying it has done so dramatically.Business continuity risk has increased for 80% of firms, with 32% calling the increase dramatic. People and process failures, such as errors in trade execution or inadequate internal controls, have increased for 75% of firms, with 24% calling the increase dramatic.
Sturhahn said: “Operational risk has become a major focus for asset managers as portfolios grow more complex, reporting requirements intensify and market events unfold much more quickly. Many firms still rely on fragmented systems, manual reconciliations and delayed reporting processes that can create inefficiencies and increase the potential for errors during periods of market stress.”
Reputational risk, meaning damage to a firm's brand from negative media, legal disputes, or poor performance that drives investor outflows, has increased for 69% of firms over the past 12 months, with 44% calling the increase dramatic.
ESG risk, meaning potential losses from investments failing to meet environmental, social, or governance standards, has increased for 77% of firms, with 31% calling the increase dramatic.
Competition risk, meaning the risk of losing market share to competitors due to poor performance or high fees, has increased for 72% of firms, with 24% calling the increase dramatic.
When asked which risks pose the greatest concern to asset managers over the next 12 months, almost two-thirds (62%) of research participants say technology/cyber risk. The next highest risk was liquidity risk (47%) closely followed by credit risk (46%). More than a third
(37%) identified concentration risk as the biggest threat in the coming year, while 35% say people and process failures and 28% say market risk.
Sturhahn added: “Firms are already responding to this, moving into alternatives, expanding hedging, and rotating into new regions and asset classes. The next question is whether those moves hold up once markets are actually tested, which is exactly what we look at next in this research.”
