She now aims to crack the engineering entrance exam and secure admission to the Indian Institute of Technology , particularly IIT Madras.

“It is the happiest day of my life. I want to pursue Mathematics in Class 11 and clear the IIT entrance. Without NMDC’s support, this dream wouldn’t have been possible,” she said.

Out of 600, Ramshila scored 587 marks, achieving a remarkable 97.83%. She is one of the top scorers of the Class 10 Board Examination conducted by the Chhattisgarh Board of Secondary Education. This year, the overall pass percentage stood at 76.53%, with 80.70% of girls passing the exam compared to 71.39% of boys.

Ramshila is a student of Choo Lo Aasmaan, a free residential coaching programme fully supported by NMDC under its CSR initiatives. Designed to impart regular education from classes 9th to 12th and simultaneously prepare students from underprivileged backgrounds for competitive exams like NEET and JEE Mains, the initiative has been a lifeline for many like Ramshila. “Coaching of this kind is often unaffordable for families like mine,” she added.

She comes from a humble background, with her father being a farmer and her mother a housewife. As the youngest of four siblings, she lives and studies at the Choo Lo Aasmaan residential school near Geedam. “I dedicate this success to my teachers, wardens, peers, and most importantly, my family and NMDC. Now, I believe that other girls from my village will also dare to dream,” she said.

Her breakthrough came when she enrolled in the NMDC’s “Choo Lo Aasmaan” CSR initiative. The school, established by NMDC’s under its CSR, aims to provide quality education to students from remote tribal belts. “When I got selected for Choo Lo Aasmaan in Class 9, I knew things would change,” said Ramshila, speaking from the residential school where she lives and studies. “We get everything: books, coaching, even uniforms. My teachers believed in me from day one. “

Operated in partnership with the district administration since 2011, the Choo Lo Aasmaan initiative admits 160 students each year (80 girls and 80 boys) offering them access to residential facilities, uniforms, academic support, and mentorship. To date, the programme has benefitted over 1000 students, with NMDC investing approximately Rs.350 lakhs annually.

Another high achiever from the district, Vani Sahoo, also attributes her success to the same programme, proving how NMDC is truly changing the narrative of Dantewada .

Additionally, students of the Choo Lo Aasmaan initiative have delivered outstanding results, with a 100% success rate in both Class 10 and 12 board examinations. All top district performers are from this programme including Astha Verma and Niharika Poya who secured the third position in the district with an impressive 95.83%, followed by Tanu Sahoo in sixth place with 95.67%, and Reshma Baghel in seventh with 95.50%. Saraswati Nag ranked eighth with 94.83%, Tamanna Manavi ninth with 94.50%, and Geeta secured the tenth spot with 94.71%. Notably, eight students of Class 10 achieved a perfect score of 100 in Social Science showcasing the programme’s academic rigour.

“The story of Ramshila and others is not just one of academic excellence,; it’s about what can happen when opportunity meets determination,” said Mr. P. Shyam, General Manager, CSR, NMDC. He added, “NMDC’s other initiatives like Balika Shiksha Yojana, Astha Gurukul, Saksham, and many more serve as a beacon of hope for students in Bastar Division of Chhattisgarh. These programs have changed the lives of many families and will continue to do so.”

SuperBottoms achieves 95% delivery success rate with Shipway integration

Delhi NCR; 13th May 2025: SuperBottoms, a sustainable baby and mother care brand, has partnered with Unicommerce-owned Shipway Technology Private Limited (‘Shipway’) to streamline and optimise its logistics operations.

Founded by Pallavi Utagi in 2018, SuperBottoms is leading India’s “Guilt-Free Diapering” revolution by empowering parents to ditch disposable diapers in favour of safe, sustainable cloth diapers. Given its customers’ close dependence on timely and reliable diaper deliveries, SuperBottoms deployed logistics management platform Shipway to handle deliveries in metros and tier 1 cities, where most of its customers are.

Through its integration with Shipway, SuperBottoms has achieved improvements in its logistics performance. These include achieving a 95% delivery success rate through algorithm-driven courier partner selection. The Shipway’s technology platform utilises algorithms that factor in location, product type, and packet size and delivery time window to select the most-suited courier partner for each shipment.

Prompt order acceptance and processing and digitised order segregation removes any process delays. Shipway’s technology provides end-to-end visibility and control over order fulfilment with its unified shipping allocation platform.

Pallavi Utagi, Co-founder of SuperBottoms, commented, “Our customers place a lot of reliance on our commitment to make time-bound, error-free deliveries. Our partnership with Shipway has transformed our logistics operations, with higher delivery success rates and reduced RTOs. The unified platform has given us greater visibility and control, directly translating to better customer satisfaction and significant cost savings. This partnership is a key enabler in our journey to scale efficiently and delight our customers.”

“Our technology-driven capabilities drive operational efficiencies and cost savings. We are delighted to deliver high-impact outcomes for SuperBottom as they expand their business and establish high customer service standards,” said Saurabh Kumar Choudhary, Chief Business Officer at Shipway

SuperBottoms also uses Unicommerce’s Uniware platform to manage orders from its website and to service orders received through marketplaces such as Meesho, quick-commerce channels like Zepto, and baby-focused brands such as FirstCry. Uniware provides a unified dashboard for orders across multiple channels, making operations more efficient. Real-time inventory synchronisation across platforms reduces the risk of overselling and stock-outs, while automated order processing and fulfilment speed up dispatch and minimise manual errors.

According to a report by Mordor Intelligence, India’s baby care market is worth USD 4.94 billion and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.76% to USD 8.61 billion by 2030. Data analysed by Unicommerce shows that online order volumes for baby care products grew by 30% in FY24 across India’s Tier 2 and 3 cities. This highlights the rapid shift towards e-commerce and the growing demand for convenient, high-quality baby care solutions beyond metro areas.

From Care to Global Collaboration: Manipal Hospital Yeshwanthpur’s Dr. Vinay Munikoty Venkatesh Joins SIOP as South India’s Country Ambassador

Bengaluru, India – Cancers in children are uncommon. About 5–10% of all cancer cases globally are caused by them. Cancer is a serious health issue in India, where more than 75,000 children and adolescents receive a diagnosis each year. Treatment improvements have resulted in survival rates of up to 90% in high-income countries, compared to only 30–40% in resource-constrained countries. This underscores the critical necessity for strong healthcare access and quality.

This is where international bodies like the International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP) play a critical role. SIOP, the world’s largest global consortium dedicated to childhood cancer, works relentlessly to improve outcomes for children with cancer through education, research, advocacy, and capacity building. With members spanning doctors, nurses, and allied healthcare professionals, SIOP helps shape the future of paediatric oncology through shared knowledge and global collaboration.

vinay

In alignment with SIOP’s mission, Manipal Hospital, Yeshwanthpur has consistently prioritized excellence in paediatric oncology through multidisciplinary treatment, advanced technologies, and compassionate care. Recognizing these sustained efforts, Dr. Vinay Munikoty Venkatesh, Consultant – Paediatric Haematology Oncology and BMT, Manipal Hospital Yeshwanthpur and Whitefield, has been chosen as a SIOP Country Ambassador for South India – a proud milestone for both Dr. Vinay and Manipal Hospitals.

As one of only three ambassadors from India this year, Dr. Vinay will represent South India in SIOP’s Asia division, focusing on building professional networks, increasing awareness of childhood cancers, and improving access to equitable cancer care in the region. His work will also involve facilitating collaboration among paediatric oncologists, supporting continuing education, and contributing to national data and advocacy efforts.

Reflecting on his role as SIOP Country Ambassador for South India, Dr. Vinay shared, “This role is an opportunity to amplify our collective voice for children with cancer. My goal is to bridge gaps in awareness, access, and outcomes, especially in underserved areas. Every child deserves the best chance at life, and I hope to make a meaningful difference by representing India’s commitment on the global stage.”

This selection stands as a testament to Manipal Hospitals commitment to advancing paediatric oncology and contributing to global health leadership. It also reflects India’s growing presence in international platforms dedicated to transforming childhood cancer care. Dr. Vinay’s new role reinforces the hospital’s vision — to not just treat, but to lead, inspire, and build a healthier future for children across the region.

New Mall Supply Pegged at 16.6 Mn Sft Across Top 7 Cities in CY 2025-26

Mumbai, 13 May 2025: In India’s ongoing golden era of retail expansion, consumer demand and retail real estate supply are on an unprecedented growth trajectory. Rising consumption is driving a surge in new mall supply in Tier 1 over the next two years – latest ANAROCK Research estimates that over 16.6 Mn sq. ft. of new Grade A mall supply will enter the top 7 cities over 2025 and 2026.

With a combined 65% share of this supply, Hyderabad and Delhi-NCR will command the lion’s share, underscoring the shift of focus to high-growth consumption hubs. This surge is part of a broader pipeline that could add more than 40 million sq. ft. of retail space by 2029 across major urban centres.

A person in a suit

AI-generated content may be incorrect.Anuj Kejriwal, CEO & MD – ANAROCK Retail, says, “The surge is also prompted by a perceivable shortfall in new supply of Grade A malls across cities. The previous three-year data trends show that new mall supply in the top 7 cities did not match the overall leasing. In 2022, these cities witnessed approx. 2.6 Mn sq. ft. of new Grade A retail supply, while leasing clocked in at approx. 3.2 Mn sq. ft. Likewise, 2023 saw 5.3 Mn sq. ft. of new Grade A mall supply, while 6.5 Mn sq. ft. were leased.

The demand-supply gap widened further in 20204 due to approvals slowing down because of general and state elections.

“New Grade A mall supply in 20204 was just 1.1 Mn sq. ft., while leasing was 6.5 Mn sq. ft.,” says Kejriwal. “The data speaks for itself.”

While the estimated new supply to some extend raises the spectre of potential oversupply, current absorption trends are reassuring. ANAROCK data pegs total mall leasing over the next two years at >12.6 Mn sq. ft. across the top 7 cities. Both mall developers and retailers are showing resolute confidence, spurred by strong leasing and positive consumer sentiments.

“The strong leasing rate is also prompted by the entry of over 60 international retail brands in India over the last four years across categories like fashion, electronics, lifestyle, & F&B,” adds Kejriwal. “This has accelerated demand for high-grade organized retail spaces, particularly in high-footfall zones like malls and high streets.”

Data also indicates that with demand-supply imbalance of previous years now gradually normalizing, mall vacancy rates in top 7 cities will stabilize over the next two years – at 8.2% in 2025 and 8.5% in 2026. In 2021, the vacancy rate in these cities was as high as 15.5%.

Insatiable Thirst for Consumption

The current retail boom is not limited to urban metros – Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities have emerged as the new consumption hotbeds, thanks to rising disposable incomes and deeper smartphone and internet penetration. Ecommerce adoption in these cities has outpaced that of Tier-1 cities – industry estimates peg the share of overall online shopping pie at 65% and predict it to reach 64% by FY 2030. The number of Indian online shoppers has jumped up from 140 Mn in 2020 to nearly 260 Mn in 2024; it is projected to nearly double to 300 Mn by 2030, and to 700 Mn by 2035.

 By offering an end-to-end ecosystem, including commerce, credit, and fulfilment, JSW One aims to simplify sourcing and accelerate growth for over 500,000 building and manufacturing MSMEs across the country.

 Parth Jindal, Chairman, JSW One Platforms, said, “JSW One Platforms is more than a marketplace, it’s how India’s MSMEs procure, finance, and grow. We’re solving critical pain points by combining our tech-led distribution model with JSW Group’s strength in manufacturing. We are well-positioned to fulfil the ambitions of India’s expanding MSME sector.”

 Gaurav Sachdeva, Joint Managing Director & CEO, JSW One Platforms, added, “JSW One’s goal is to enable reliable procurement for MSMEs through quality materials, timely delivery, and the right credit solutions. This capital allows us to expand our service network, scale our private brands and NBFC arm, and invest further in tech and logistics.
