India’s Labour Reforms- Quote from NLB Services, leading global technology and digital talent solutions provider
By Sachin Alug, CEO, NLB Services:–“Albeit growing in size, the country’s gig workforce has long remained unorganized due to lax labour governance. The implementation of the four new labour codes is poised to usher in overdue reforms for this fast-expanding demographic. It’s high time this sector moved toward formalization, and we anticipate this step to pave the way for better protection, structure, and management within the gig economy.
The new laws are also expected to promote gender parity in the workforce by opening doors to wider opportunities across diverse sectors. Additionally, other groups such as contract workers, youth workers, and fixed-term employees stand to benefit from reforms that introduce clearer working-hour norms, expanded social security, minimum wage protections, health benefits, and more.”

Mumbai, Nov 22: Sarvam Properties, a Mumbai-based real-estate solutions firm, has raised strategic equity funding from Dharmil Sheth, Dhaval Shah, and Hardik Dedhia, founders of PharmEasy and All Home, along with a select group of angel investors across India. Coinciding with the fundraise, the company announced the launch of Assure X, a ₹300 crore AI-powered initiative designed exclusively for developers partnering with Sarvam. The platform integrates high-performance sales execution with on-demand liquidity support, offering a structured mechanism for predictable project cash flows within Mumbai’s realestate ecosystem.
The fundraise marks a major step in Sarvam’s plan to address a long-standing challenge in Mumbai’s real-estate market. Developers often face liquidity strain between sales progress and cash-flow realization. When inflows lag construction schedules, even projects with strong demand can experience delays. Assure X addresses this challenge by using real-time sales data and predefined liquidity triggers to anticipate funding gaps and facilitate timely capital infusion, ensuring steady project execution. The alignment of performance metrics with prompt capital access enables developers to maintain execution pace and meet delivery timelines.
Reflecting on the milestone Manan Joshi, Founder of Sarvam Properties;said: “Our goal has always been to make real-estate execution as cohesive and dependable as the assets it produces. Assure X is an extension of that belief. It is a framework that converts market complexity into measurable order. For developers, it means working within a system where progress and liquidity move in tandem.”
The capital raise will enable Sarvam to strengthen its operating framework and extend its reach across Mumbai’s development corridors. The company plans to expand its technology infrastructure, deepen advisory capabilities, and build specialist teams for project strategy and customer engagement.
Speaking on Sarvam’s operational approach, Monty Joshi, Co-Founder of Sarvam Properties, said: “Technology has always been central to how we operate. With Assure X, we are extending that approach, using AI not as a label but as a tool that brings clarity, precision, and speed to project execution, positioning Sarvam as a dependable ally for developers focused on efficiency and timely delivery.”
The equity participation highlights investor conviction in analytics-led, accountable practices within real estate, in line with Sarvam’s plan to professionalize developer services.
Commenting on investor interest, Dhaval Hemani, Co-Founder of Sarvam Properties, said: “We are privileged to partner with founders who have built some of India’s notable digital enterprises. Their entrepreneurial vision and disciplined approach bring perspective that extends well beyond capital, helping us scale responsibly and deliver measurable efficiency.”
Recent industry reports indicate that equity investments in Indian real estate rose 48% to about $3.8 billion in Q3 FY25, signalling renewed investor activity in the real estate sector. As this trend gathers pace, Sarvam is contributing to a more organized and performance-led developer ecosystem through initiatives such as Assure X.

Sarvodaya Hospital Performs India’s First Bilateral Hip Replacement in 165-kg Young Patient
India, Nov 21: In a landmark achievement that underscores its leadership in advanced orthopaedic care, Sarvodaya Hospital, Sec 8, Faridabad, has successfully treated a highly complex case of bilateral Avascular Necrosis (AVN) of the hip in a 27-year-old patient weighing 165 kg.
Rohit Mundra, a young professional from Kolkata, was suffering from severe AVN in both hips – an increasingly common condition in younger Indians that severely restricts mobility and affects long-term quality of life. Compounded by class III obesity (BMI 49.2), which represents the most severe category of obesity and is associated with significant health risks like type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, sleep, osteoarthritis, and certain cancers, while also experiencing challenges such as reduced mobility and psychosocial stress. His case posed significant surgical challenges that only a high-expertise centre could address.
The patient successfully underwent hip replacement surgery on one side last year. Encouraged by his recovery and the exceptional expertise of the medical team, in 2025 he returned for the replacement of the second hip. This procedure has now been completed with equal success, further underscoring the team’s commitment to delivering advanced care and restoring mobility for patients.
Speaking about the case, Dr. Pankaj Walecha, Director & Head Robotic Knee & Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement, Sarvodaya Hospital, Faridabad, said, “Such cases demand exceptional experience and a specialised ecosystem. A 165-kg young adult undergoing Total Hip Replacement is not common, and it requires a high level of surgical skill, meticulous planning, and a fully prepared multidisciplinary setup. AVN is rising sharply in younger age groups, and we now see such patients daily in our OPD, coming not only from all across India but also from Bangladesh and Nepal.”
Dr. Pankaj further added that obesity, steroid use, alcohol intake, and delayed diagnosis are major contributors to early hip joint destruction, often making Total Hip Replacement surgery the most effective solution.
Sarvodaya Hospital has emerged as a trusted centre for Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement and complex joint reconstruction, supported by the advanced operation theatres designed for high-risk surgeries, a specialised orthopaedic anaesthesia and critical care team, next-generation imaging and computer-assisted navigation and a rehabilitation program tailored for obese and young patients.
Obesity not only accelerates joint damage but also makes hip replacement technically demanding, requiring advanced expertise, customised implants, and an infrastructure equipped to handle high-risk procedures safely.
This successful outcome reinforces Sarvodaya’s growing reputation for managing challenging orthopaedic cases with precision, safety, and long-term functional results.
