“With support from Sony, my colleagues and I are investigating ways to use machine learning and large language models to generate perceptually better interpolation between environmental sounds. This has relevance for creative arts, sound designers, and the scientific study of sound categories. We have also explored vision-and-language models for sound categorization. Sony has offered their expertise and resources to support our research. With the support of Sony, we hope to advance generative sound technology that can be applied in a multitude of ways.”

Comment from the award recipient in 2022 and 2023:

“The past two Sony Research Award Program collaborations have proven to be transformative for my group’s research. The opportunity has allowed our group to develop and investigate new approaches to multi-sensory immersion, including the olfactory sensory channel as well as more traditional haptic, aural, and visual channels. More importantly, the close relationships formed with Sony researchers have opened up new thoughts and possibilities. These collaborations have accelerated our research into how to implement and measure levels of immersion and presence in multi-sensory environments, as will be encountered in the next generation metaverse.”

Daaji’s Holy Tirthankaras Presents Jain Wisdom Through the Lens of Heartfulness

Mumbai, 14 July 2025: Holy Tirthankaras: In the Light of Heartfulness, the latest bestseller by Daaji, Global Guide of Heartfulness and President of Shri Ram Chandra Mission, presents the lives of the twenty-four Jain Tirthankaras. Co-authored with Shri B. Rathinasabapathy, the book weaves together historical accounts, meditative practice, and reflections for contemporary spiritual seekers. It highlights the continued relevance of the Tirthankaras’ values today, while also drawing attention to their connection with nature and the environment.

Each chapter traces the story of a Tirthankara and the tree under which they attained Kaivalya, or liberation. But the book does not stop at narration. It reflects on the qualities these sages lived, like non-violence, truthfulness, detachment, mental and emotional regulation, and how the same values can be practised now through methods like meditation in the presence of yogic Transmission (Pranahuti), and rejuvenative cleaning. These are part of the Heartfulness approach followed by millions around the world.

Daaji writes that, “The immense austerities [the Tirthankars] undertook without any aid… make us appreciate the help we receive from the yogic Transmission or Pranahuti in Heartfulness practices.” This contrast between then and now shows how approaches to inner development have changed over time.

The book also revisits the roots of Raja Yoga. Rishabh Nath, the first Tirthankara, is introduced as the originator of Raja Yoga who introduced Pranahuti to humanity in that ancient bygone era. Daaji also notes that Shri Ram Chandra of Shahjahanpur, also known as Babuji… talks of a sage who lived seventy-two generations before Raja Dashratha… who discovered Raja Yoga. However, he does not mention the name of that sage. Daaji has taken the bold step of revealing the sage’s name in his latest book, as Rishabh Nath, connecting Heartfulness to the most ancient spiritual lineage of our civilisation.

The connection with trees in the book goes beyond nature worship. Trees are described as retaining spiritual charge far longer than human beings. The Tirthankaras’ choice to meditate under trees is not a coincidence, attributed to peace or being under the shade. It is a very conscious decision to receive continuous support of spiritual energy required for their inner work. Their presence under these trees is presented as part of a natural environment that could absorb, reflect, and sustain the stillness and ongoing spiritual evolution.

Throughout the book, Daaji emphasises practical change and reminds readers that transformation requires effort. He speaks directly to younger readers, encouraging self-discipline, simplicity, and introspection. The Ten Guidelines for Heartful Living are included as practices to help cultivate a life oriented toward self-transformation, personal growth, and character formation.

Holy Tirthankaras is more than a history book or religious commentary. It uses the lives of the Tirthankaras as a reference point to ask: What kind of person are we becoming? What are we doing with our attention, energy, and life?

Škoda Auto hits a 300 in India

Noida, July 14, 2025 – Škoda Auto is revving to newer highs as it celebrates its 25-year legacy in India, and 130 years globally. Earlier this month, the brand achieved its highest half-yearly sales ever in H1 2025. In yet another achievement, the company has now crossed 300 customer touchpoints, catering to customers across 172 cities in India. Providing an unmatched customer experience is central to Škoda Auto’s India growth strategy. The rapid network expansion reflects this, along with the strong momentum the brand is building across India.

 Commenting on the achievement, Ashish Gupta, Brand Director, Škoda Auto India, said, “Our growing network makes our product range more accessible to customers, while enabling smarter, faster service with consistent quality, across the country. With a strong emphasis on ‘growing together and getting closer to customers’, a large part of our expansion has been undertaken with Škoda Auto’s long-term dealer partners in India, while also bringing new partners with a proven track record of customer centricity into the fold. This expansion is a step forward in strengthening Škoda Auto’s legacy in India and delivering on our promise of safety, value, and a truly rewarding ownership experience.”

 Continuing from the Kylaq

The Kylaq is a key driver of Škoda Auto’s growth in India as it targets new customers in new markets that are now being catered to with the brand’s network expansion. Combined with the Kushaq and Kodiaq, Škoda Auto India now has an SUV For Everyone. The Slavia continues Škoda Auto’s sedan legacy in India with a global icon soon to be introduced in the country. The growing network perfectly complements Skoda Auto’s product strategy in India.

The path towards growth

Škoda Auto India’s growth strategy is to go deeper in Tier 1 markets and expand further in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets. In line with this strategy, in the past nine months, the brand has entered over 30 new cities, all in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets, in addition to continued expansion in existing Tier 1 cities. Furthermore, 86% of the expansion in this period has been in Tier 2 and 3 geographies, and 75% of the 300 touchpoints directly cater to customers in these cities. This provides them with easier access to sales and service support, reduces travel time to the nearest dealership or service facility, and brings consistent quality closer to customers.

Owning a Škoda

The company’s endeavour to be closer to its customers by expanding its network and increasing its touchpoints is further defined by a slew of warranty, maintenance, and Road Side Assistance packages that ensure customers are provided a quality ownership and maintenance experience with a Škoda. In addition to this, Škoda Auto India offers the Škoda Supercare maintenance package as complimentary with every Škoda car for a period of one year. With this, a Škoda owner’s first expense for routine service is only at the end of the second year of ownership or 30,000kms, whichever is earlier.
