Mumbai, 9 October, 25: Khetika, the clean label food brand built on the promise of purity and honest choices, today unveils its new digital film “Acchai Se Farak Padta Hai” — a touching narrative that reminds us how small acts of goodness create real difference.

The film unfolds during Diwali preparations in a modern Indian home, where children playfully enact the Ramayan with toy bows and painted moustaches. In the kitchen, the house help, Shabari, is seen preparing kheer with Khetika dry fruits, symbolising prosperity and purity. Focused on her work, Shabari hadn’t planned to take time off and was ready to come the next day — until the child playing Ram gently reminds her, “Diwali to aapke ghar mein bhi hai na,” sparking a heartfelt realization for her and Ram’s mother.

His words prompt the mother to reflect, leading her to acknowledge Shabari’s role with gratitude. She offers her kheer enriched with Khetika dry fruits and a Khetika gift box, underlining the film’s message that while rituals brighten homes, it is acchai that truly makes celebrations meaningful.

Speaking on the launch of the campaign, Dr. Prithwi Singh, CEO, Khetika said: “This digital film is deeply personal to us because it mirrors what Khetika stands for — purity, honesty, and inclusivity. With ‘Acchai Se Farak Padta Hai,’ we wanted to remind people that true celebrations go beyond rituals and decorations. Just as our preservative-free dry fruits add goodness to something as simple as kheer, choosing kindness and gratitude brings depth to our relationships and traditions. We hope the campaign inspires people to celebrate with authenticity and goodness this festive season.”

With ‘Acchai Se Farak Padta Hai’, Khetika extends its festive wishes to households across India, reminding everyone that celebrations are most meaningful when shared with sincerity and gratitude. This Diwali, the brand encourages families to make mindful choices and celebrate the season in the spirit of genuine goodness.

realme and RICOH IMAGING Forge Strategic Partnership for Advanced Smartphone Street Photography

New Delhi, India, October 9, 2025: realme, India’s most popular smartphone brand among young users, today announced a strategic partnership with RICOH IMAGING COMPANY LTD., set to officially launch on October 14 in Beijing, China.

After four years of preparation, this collaboration is positioned as one of the industry’s most profound imaging partnerships. To celebrate, the two companies released the “4 Years in One Snap” video, highlighting four years of co-engineering and teasing features of their first co-created product, designed specifically for the realme GT 8 Pro.

A Joint Journey Starting from Mobile User Pain Points

In the video, realme Vice President and CMO Chase Xu discussed with Kazunobu Saiki, General Manager of Camera Business Division at RICOH IMAGING COMPANY LTD., the elements that brought two brands together, which grounded on a shared understanding of user demands. realme saw that young people struggled with two main pain points in mobile photography: increasingly similar hardware and over-processed algorithms that stripped photos of authenticity. “People are getting tired of the same ‘perfect style’ photos. More and more, everyone wants to show their own style, instead of copying the same look.” Chase Xu explained.

The RICOH GR series has been known as a “street photography hero” because of its sharp quality, portability, and quick response. “That’s exactly what we value,” Xu said. Saiki echoed this: “RICOH Imaging and realme share a base of young, creative users. Our collaboration is not only about innovation in products, but also about culture to inspire a new generation to enjoy street photography and discover the beauty of everyday life.”

This shared spirit is why the two brands came together: to give young people tools that allow for authentic capture and personal expression, carrying the tradition of conventional camera into mobile photography.

The GT 8 Pro Brings GR Heritage to Young People’s Pocket

Through extensive customizations between realme and RICOH GR’s R&D teams, the GT 8 Pro offers an unprecedented imaging experience, achieving groundbreaking innovations in optical capabilities, color algorithms, imaging tones, and a tailor-made UI design that mimics the feel of a RICOH GR camera.

This device seamlessly blends 30 years of RICOH GR heritage, including its iconic film-like aesthetic and five classic image tones, with realme’s strengths in mobile imaging and profound insights into the preferences of current generations, creating a unique synergy that advances street photography culture through joint development and co-engineering. More than just a competition of specifications or uniform filters, it infuses mood and emotional warmth into every photo, encouraging young users to document their daily lives with authenticity.

“Snap By No Rules”

This partnership isn’t just about a product, it’s about extending street photography culture into the mobile era. 4 Years in One Snap marks a milestone, encouraging young people to freely record and express their lives. “It’s a fresh, young way to take photos. You don’t wait or try to make the perfect shot but just press the button and capture the moment – Snap by No Rules,” said Xu.

“Through this collaboration, we hope that even those who don’t usually use dedicated camera would experience snapshot photography with the GT 8 Pro,” Saiki noted.

The journey now heads toward October 14, when realme and Ricoh GR’s partnership will make its official debut, ushering in a new era of mobile street photography.

BharatPe Launches BharatPeX: AI-Guided, In-App UPI-First Online PAPG

India, 8th October 2025: BharatPe, India’s leading fintech company, today unveiled BharatPeX, its new PAPG-online brand that brings an ‘X-factor’ to how enterprises run payments. It combines a modern online payment gateway (Cards, Net Banking, UPI) with an implementation-first model that helps clients ship in-app UPI experiences faster, keep customer data within their own apps, and materially lift success rates.

With technology and artificial intelligence at its core, the service comes bundled with BharatPeX.AI, which empowers enterprises with expertise on tap. The AI assistant provides clients with 24/7, consistent guidance on features, eligibility, and go-live steps across BharatPeX, NPCI, and partner banks. It also provides journey prototypes (e.g., UPI Autopay, UPI Circle, UPI International) and can generate sample code that teams can reuse.

Sandeep Indurkar, CEO  Payments, BharatPe, said, “Most enterprises want world-class payment systems but are wary of compliance, bank coordination, and long development cycles. With BharatPeX, we remove that friction. We don’t stop at an API—we deploy a specialist team and an AI-driven virtual assistant so our clients can enable UPI Plug-in or even scale to becoming TPAP-enabled—owning the user journey, the data, and the outcomes, which in turn lets them offer a seamless collections service and payment experience to their customers.” The company has already begun onboarding e-commerce, fintech, and enterprise clients in phases.

Designed to power growth at scale, BharatPeX combines collections, payouts, and enterprise-grade support into a single, secure platform, simplifying payments while multiplying impact. It promises outcome-oriented enablement, higher success rates, reduced go-to-market time, and data ownership for the merchant.

What makes BharatPeX different:

1) Payments expertise, not just a gateway: A dedicated (Product/Tech/Relationship) squad partners with each client to design, integrate, and scale collections and payouts. The team navigates NPCI processes and partner banks, simplifying onboarding and cutting implementation effort to roughly one-third of typical cycles.

2) In-app UPI at the core: While UPI already drives a large share of ecommerce transactions, most merchants still have to divert users to third party apps, losing visibility and control. BharatPeX helps clients run in-app UPI flows (via UPI Plug-in or TPAP), boosting success rates and ensuring customer data stays with the client.

3) Built for eCommerce, fintech, and enterprises: From checkout orchestration to complex payout needs, BharatPeX is designed for scale and governed by a compliance-first approach aligned to applicable RBI/NPCI guidelines.

With BharatPeX, BharatPe positions itself as the go-to partner for enterprises navigating the fast-evolving digital economy, reinforcing India’s place at the global forefront of payments innovation.

BharatPe is the only fintech company in India with an NBFC license (Trillion Loans), a stake in a Small Finance Bank (Unity SFB), and an Online Payment Aggregator license.

Why should merchants adopt BharatPeX?

• Command the user experience: Keep users in-app; reduce drop-offs and dependency on third-party apps
• Own the data: Maintain visibility on key customer markers to drive retention and LTV
• Ship faster: Cut integration effort to ~1/3rd with guided implementation and sample code
• Scale confidently: A single partner to handle tech, bank coordination, and compliance nuances
• Go beyond payments: Identify revenue opportunities tied to better payment experiences and customer delight
