Hyderabad Public School, Begumpet Launches Major School Leadership Programme and Career Talks Initiative
Hyderabad, Aug 11: Reinforcing its century-old legacy of nurturing future-ready leaders, Hyderabad Public School, Begumpet has launched a comprehensive Leadership Programme that places leadership development at the heart of every student’s educational journey. Designed to cultivate confidence, resilience, empathy, critical thinking and decision-making from an early age, the programme reaches over 3,500 students across all grades and curricula, making it one of the most extensive school-based leadership initiatives in the world.
As part of the programme’s launch, the school organised the second edition of The HPS Dialogues – Career Talks, bringing together accomplished industry professionals, entrepreneurs and HPS alumni to engage with more than 300 students across the ICSE, ISC and Cambridge curricula. The initiative marked the beginning of a broader leadership journey that connects classroom learning with real-world experiences, enabling students to make informed decisions about their future while developing the qualities required to lead with purpose.
Leadership has always been central to HPS’s philosophy of education. Introduced during the school’s centenary year, when leadership emerged as the defining theme, the newly launched. Through a structured, age-appropriate curriculum, students participate in four leadership modules each academic year, amounting to nearly 12 hours of dedicated leadership learning annually. By graduation, every student will have completed 48 unique leadership modules, each designed to strengthen self-awareness, communication, collaboration, innovation, global citizenship and ethical leadership.
Speaking on the initiative, Dr. Skand Bali, Principal, Hyderabad Public School, Begumpet, said,
“Leadership is not a skill that begins in adulthood; it is cultivated through experiences, opportunities and reflection from an early age. At HPS, we believe every child has the potential to lead, whether in a classroom, a community or on the global stage. Our Leadership Programme has been designed to nurture that potential systematically, helping students develop the confidence, empathy and character to navigate an increasingly complex world. The HPS Dialogues Career Talks is a natural extension of this vision, allowing students to learn directly from those who have transformed ideas into impact.”
The programme follows a carefully scaffolded progression across all grades. Younger students begin by developing self-awareness and teamwork before progressing to communication, problem-solving, adaptability and innovation. Senior students explore strategic leadership, global citizenship and legacy-building, ensuring leadership development evolves alongside their intellectual and emotional growth. Leveraging the school’s expansive campus as a dynamic learning environment, the programme encourages students to think independently, communicate effectively and take initiative in authentic situations.
The HPS Dialogues – Career Talks embodies this experiential philosophy by bringing professionals directly into the school environment. Organised by the Office of College & Career Guidance in partnership with the Oyster team, the two-day event introduced students to diverse careers spanning hospitality, biotechnology, finance, entrepreneurship, fine arts, healthcare entrepreneurship, artificial intelligence, robotics, media ventures and public leadership.
For Grade 10 students, the sessions offered an early understanding of emerging and traditional professions, while Grades 11 and 12 engaged in deeper conversations around industries that are rapidly transforming the global economy. More importantly, students were encouraged to connect their academic learning with practical career pathways, replacing uncertainty with informed exploration.
A defining feature of the initiative was the participation of HPS alumni, who returned to their alma mater to share personal journeys, professional challenges and lessons from the workplace. Their presence transformed the sessions into meaningful conversations across generations, giving students authentic perspectives that extend far beyond textbooks and examinations.
The Career Talks initiative is part of the broader HPS World is My Oyster programme, an alumni-led platform founded on the belief that students understand careers best by experiencing them first-hand. Launched in 2024, its flagship initiative, Take Your First Dip, enables students from Classes 9 to 12 to shadow HPS alumni in workplaces across multiple industries. In its inaugural year alone, the programme placed 110 students across 120 internships hosted by 25 alumni-led organisations representing 11 career streams, including healthcare, aviation, aerospace, renewable energy, pharmaceuticals, entrepreneurship and technology.
Together, Career Talks and Take Your First Dip create a comprehensive career exploration ecosystem, beginning with conversations that spark curiosity and extending into immersive workplace experiences that build clarity, confidence and informed career choices.
Looking ahead, HPS Begumpet plans to expand the initiative through cluster-based career sessions, expert panel discussions and a structured alumni mentorship programme that will foster sustained engagement between students and graduates of the institution.
By seamlessly integrating leadership education, career awareness and experiential learning, Hyderabad Public School, Begumpet continues to redefine holistic education. As it enters its next century, the institution remains committed to preparing students not only to excel academically but also to become thoughtful, compassionate and capable leaders ready to shape the future.

The Ellinikon Sports Park Opens to All as Europe’s Largest Urban Regeneration Project Accelerates Toward Completion
ATHENS, Greece, Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Ellinikon, Europe’s largest urban regeneration project and spearheaded by LAMDA Development, has reached a major milestone with the opening of The Ellinikon Sports Park, the project’s first large-scale public sports and wellness destination. The debut marks a significant step in transforming the former Athens International Airport into a next-generation coastal city, while construction continues at pace across residential neighborhoods, landmark retail destinations, and the iconic Riviera Tower.
Spanning 287,000 square meters, The Ellinikon Sports Park has been designed as an open, accessible destination designed for high-performance and recreational athletes alike, as well as families, tourists, and all Athenians, reinforcing sport, wellness, and public space as defining elements of the project’s vision for a 15-minute city. The park features a completed track and field complex, football pitches, and throwing field, alongside free-play courts for tennis and basketball, athletes’ dorms, flexible recreation areas, and 115,000 square meters of expansive landscaped and open green space.
The Sports Park already demonstrated its ability to host world-class events earlier this year when it welcomed thousands of spectators for the EKO Super Special Stage of the 2026 FIA World Rally Championship Acropolis Rally, offering an early glimpse of the international competitions, community programming, and public events the venue will accommodate.
Odisseas Athanasiou, CEO of LAMDA Development, stated: “The delivery of the first phase of the Sports Park to the public marks an important and highly symbolic milestone for The Ellinikon. This is the moment when The Ellinikon truly opens its doors to the public, giving citizens the opportunity to experience first-hand the first tangible elements of the new way of life taking shape within Europe’s largest urban regeneration project. For all of us, this is a major step in a journey that began years ago, driven by vision, perseverance, and a deep belief in our goal.”
As the Sports Park opens its doors, construction continues to accelerate across every district of The Ellinikon, with residential neighborhoods expanding, landmark retail destinations advancing toward completion, and Riviera Tower reaching its final height.
Residential Neighborhoods Continue to Expand
The Ellinikon’s residential portfolio continues to grow with the recent launch of The Courtyards, the newest offering within the Little Athens neighborhood. Designed by acclaimed Greek practice AUDO Architects, the development comprises 324 contemporary residences across 11 buildings, featuring one- to four-bedroom homes inspired by modern Mediterranean living. Select penthouses include expansive rooftop terraces, while 35 ground-floor residences offer private gardens with either a swimming pool or jacuzzi. All homes include underground parking and dedicated storage.
Construction is advancing across The Ellinikon’s residential projects, with the first properties expected to be delivered in early 2027, followed by the phased delivery of additional residences throughout 2027. Marking another important milestone, the first fully completed showcase residence at Promenade Heights in Little Athens has now been unveiled, offering the inaugural finished home experience within The Ellinikon and providing a first glimpse of the quality, design, and craftsmanship that will define the community.
Landmark Retail Destinations Advance
Construction also continues on Riviera Galleria, a premium retail and dining destination designed by renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma. Spanning 23,000 square meters, it aspires to bring together a curated mix of international and Greek fashion, lifestyle, and dining concepts, from daytime to evening. Its undulating architectural canopy is inspired by the movement of water. Scheduled for construction completion in early 2027, Riviera Galleria has already signed Heads of Terms representing 76 percent of its gross leasable area.
Elsewhere within The Ellinikon, construction is now underway on The Ellinikon Mall, designed by internationally acclaimed architectural office Aedas. Set to become Greece’s largest and most advanced retail destination and one of Southern Europe’s premier shopping, entertainment, and leisure destinations, the project recently marked the start of construction following community engagement sessions that outlined implementation timelines, environmental monitoring measures, and traffic management plans. Spanning 100,000 square meters of gross leasable area, the mall will combine indoor and outdoor environments through a sustainable, hybrid design that seamlessly integrates retail, dining, entertainment, and green public space. Signed Heads of Terms have already reached 70 percent of the mall’s total gross leasable area, reflecting strong retailer demand ahead of its anticipated completion in 2029.
The opening of The Ellinikon Sports Park, alongside the structural completion of Riviera Tower, construction completion of Riviera Galleria, the commencement of construction on The Ellinikon Mall, the continued advancement of residential neighborhoods, and the launch of LAMDA Labs, demonstrates the accelerating realization of one of the world’s most ambitious mixed-use developments.

Xinhua Silk Road: Culture ignites vitality, high-quality development in E. China’s Quanzhou
BEIJING, Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In Quanzhou, a city famed as the maritime emporium during the Song and Yuan dynasties, cultural diversity and fruitful preservation and inheritance have paved the way for vibrant and high-quality urban development.
For years, the city home to multiple world- and national-level intangible cultural heritages (ICH) has been engaged in holistic protection, systemic inheritance and innovative revitalization of local historical and cultural heritages.
With concrete efforts, Quanzhou managed to preserve the original appearance of historical and cultural relics.
For instance, the renovated Dacheng Hall of Confucius Temple there reserves the original style and the recovered historical and cultural streets well balance the needs of daily life and landscape protection.
Such pragmatic preservation practices together with the establishment of protection centers of various levels help the city craft a “living ancient city” and a basket of model zones for stellar cultural relics protection.
In the ancient-style alleys and streets there, cultural heritage is brought into everyday lives of locals, who are free to immerse themselves in the slow-paced but elegant melody of Quanzhou Nanyin, dramas of lifelike puppets, or the engaging beauty of floral wreaths from Xunpu Village.
When a well-planned public culture regime functions smoothly, exquisite cultural works flourish in Quanzhou where cultural and art teams and talents gather for cultural communication activities and diverse performances.
Currently, rich cultural heritages-driven cultural industry has grown as a competitive engine propelling high-quality development of the city.
In Anxi County, Tieguanyin represents not only a popular tea, but also a burgeoning sector encompassing tea manors, cultural study tours and homestays.
In Yongchun County, potential of traditional incense-making culture was unlocked through incense product R&D, incense therapy-based wellness, creative incense cultural products production, and related sales at home and abroad.
In Dehua County, white porcelains have walked into modern home furnishings market, artistic collections, and creative fashion products sector and became a sensation amid the trending China-chic.
Last year, output value of Anxi’s tea industry, Yongchun’s incense industrial chains and Dehua’s ceramic industrial clusters reached 46.05 billion yuan, 13.5 billion yuan and 76 billion yuan respectively.
In Quanzhou, other ICHs such as stone carvings from Hui’an County are also being explored to contribute to the clustering of local cultural industries with distinctive characteristics.

GI Products Get a Major Market Push as MSME Ministry and DPIIT Join Hands
New Delhi, Aug 11: India’s traditional and region-specific products are set to get a wider market reach as the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) and the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) join hands to turn Geographical Indication (GI) products into stronger commercial opportunities for local producers.
The two organisations signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on August 5 at Vanijya Bhawan in New Delhi, creating a joint framework to improve the commercialisation, quality and market access of GI products.
The initiative is aimed at helping artisans, weavers, traditional producers and small businesses take their products beyond local markets and connect with customers and buyers across India and overseas.
A GI tag gives legal recognition to products whose quality, reputation or other characteristics are closely linked to a particular geographical region. But for many producers, recognition is only the first step. Reaching larger markets, building a customer base and securing better commercial opportunities can remain difficult.
The new partnership seeks to bridge that gap by combining GI protection with enterprise development, digital commerce and organised marketing.
Under the agreement, GI producer groups and authorised users will be supported in accessing the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) and the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) under a dedicated “Bharat GI” banner.
For small producers, this can create new avenues to showcase and sell their products beyond their immediate regions. Greater digital visibility can also help traditional products reach younger consumers, institutional buyers, retailers and potential exporters.
The two organisations will also work to strengthen the link between GI products and the One District One Product (ODOP) ecosystem. Dedicated GI pavilions at national and international exhibitions, trade fairs and buyer-seller meetings will provide additional opportunities for producers to meet large buyers and explore new markets.
The focus will not be limited to marketing. The partnership will also support capacity building, quality standardisation and digital enablement, helping producer collectives become better prepared to compete in organised and premium markets.
For artisans and traditional producers, stronger demand can translate into better income opportunities and more sustainable livelihoods. It can also encourage communities to preserve skills and production traditions that have been passed down through generations.
The initiative brings together DPIIT’s role in GI registration and intellectual property protection with the MSME Ministry’s work in enterprise development, traditional industries and artisan support.
The broader aim is to ensure that India’s regional identity becomes an economic strength for the communities that create these products. By connecting traditional goods with digital platforms, government procurement and global markets, the partnership seeks to give local producers a stronger place in the modern economy.
The initiative also supports the broader goals of Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Vocal for Local, while strengthening India’s GI ecosystem and creating a more direct link between the country’s rich cultural heritage and new commercial opportunities.

Piramal Realty Delivers The Royal Polo Pavilion, a 30,000 sq. ft. Polo-Inspired Clubhouse at Piramal Mahalaxmi
MUMBAI, India, Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Piramal Realty, the real estate development arm of the Piramal Group, has delivered The Royal Polo Pavilion, a 30,000 sq. ft. resident’s clubhouse at Piramal Mahalaxmi. Designed by globally renowned British design studio Conran and Partners, the three-level clubhouse overlooks the iconic Mahalaxmi Racecourse and Arabian Sea. The delivery of the Royal Polo Pavilion further reinforces Piramal Realty’s design-led, delivery-focused philosophy, reflected in over 5,800 delivered homes across 24 towers spanning over ~9.3 Mn sq. ft., of Area.
More than a resident’s clubhouse, the Royal Polo Pavilion was envisioned as a place that belongs to Mahalaxmi – a space inspired by the character, history and enduring spirit of one of Mumbai’s most iconic neighborhoods.
The Royal Polo Pavilion draws inspiration from the enduring legacy of polo, a sport deeply rooted in the history of the Mahalaxmi Racecourse. Over the decades, the sport has become synonymous with the Racecourse’s identity, reflecting a timeless tradition built on grace, discipline, teamwork, precision and sportsmanship. This legacy is the foundation for the clubhouse’s design vision.
Commenting on the delivery, Abhijeet Maheshwari, CEO, Piramal Realty, said:
“For us, design is not just about architecture or interiors; it is about storytelling. For the Royal Polo Pavilion, our inspiration came not from global trends but from the neighbourhood itself. The Racecourse, the heritage of polo, the Gulmohar trees motif representing the tree lined South Mumbai, carefully commissioned artworks with Piramal Art Foundation and thoughtfully crafted interiors all became part of a larger narrative. Every detail was intentionally designed to celebrate the character of Mahalaxmi, creating a clubhouse that feels deeply connected to its setting while offering a contemporary lifestyle for our residents.”
As residents explore the clubhouse, every space tells part of this story. Echoing the spirit of polo, The Chukker, (Gym), takes its name from the sports periods of play in a polo match, while the Colt & Filly club (Kids play area) reflects the curiosity and energy of the young residents. Every space has been thoughtfully named to celebrate the traditions and timeless legacy of polo.
The clubhouse also features a private theatre, resident’s lounge, banquet hall, spa, yoga studio, indoor games room, squash court and multipurpose court, bringing together a range of experiences that enrich everyday living.
The interior design draws from the elegance and heritage of polo, translating its spirit through a carefully curated palette of materials and finishes. Warm timber, natural stone, handcrafted textiles and subtle equestrian references come together to create interiors that feel both timeless and deeply connected to their surroundings. Thoughtfully curated artworks, developed in collaboration with the Piramal Art Foundation, complete the overall design narrative. Together, these elements create interiors inspired by the rich traditions of polo.
With the delivery of the Royal Polo Pavilion, Piramal Realty continues to bring its design-led, delivery-focused philosophy to life, creating thoughtfully designed destinations where architecture, community and curated experiences come together to enrich everyday living.

Wall Street Edges Lower as Middle East Tensions Push Oil Prices Higher
New York, Aug 11: US stock markets closed slightly lower on Monday as rising tensions in the Middle East pushed crude oil prices higher and increased uncertainty for investors.
Pic Credit: Pexel
The S&P 500 declined 0.06 per cent, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.32 per cent and the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.11 per cent.
Higher oil prices remained the key concern for markets. Investors are worried that prolonged disruptions to energy supplies could increase fuel and transportation costs, putting pressure on businesses and consumers.
A sustained rise in crude prices could also make it more difficult for inflation to ease, adding another challenge for the US economy and financial markets.
The impact was visible across Wall Street, although the losses remained limited. Investors continued to assess corporate earnings and economic conditions while keeping a close watch on developments in the Middle East.
Technology stocks faced some pressure, contributing to the decline in the Nasdaq. At the same time, energy-related companies could benefit from higher crude prices, creating mixed effects across different parts of the market.
The latest session reflects a cautious approach among investors as geopolitical uncertainty adds to existing concerns over inflation, interest rates and economic growth.
For households, prolonged higher energy prices could eventually translate into more expensive fuel, transport and other goods and services. For companies, higher energy and logistics costs could affect profit margins.
Markets are expected to remain sensitive to developments in the region, particularly any changes that could affect global oil supplies and shipping routes.
The modest decline in the major US indices shows that investors remain cautious but have so far absorbed the latest geopolitical risks without a sharp market sell-off.

Vestige launches Veg-Glucosamine and KidoShake to strengthen focus on joint health and child nutrition
Bengaluru, Aug 11: Vestige Marketing Pvt. Ltd., only Indian multinational direct‑selling company, has launched two new products — Vestige Veg-Glucosamine, a plant‑based joint health supplement, and Vestige KidoShake, a chocolate‑flavoured proprietary food for children. The products are now part of the company’s wellness portfolio.
With these launches, Vestige is addressing two growing health priorities in India: support for adult joint health and balanced nutrition for children.
In addition to the already existing Vestige Glucosamine, this newly introduced Vestige Veg–Glucosamine is positioned as a vegetarian and vegan‑friendly alternative to conventional glucosamine supplements. The product uses glucosamine sulphate produced through advanced corn fermentation technology and plant‑based chondroitin sulphate derived from algae. According to the company, the formulation is designed to support joint mobility and flexibility, reduce stiffness, and help maintain muscle health.
The introduction of a plant‑based glucosamine option comes at a time when joint health concerns are becoming more prominent, particularly with age‑related decline in natural glucosamine levels after 40 and increasing awareness around preventive health. The product is aimed at consumers seeking cruelty‑free, plant‑based wellness solutions, including those avoiding animal‑derived ingredients for dietary or personal reasons.
Vestige KidoShake is a 200 g chocolate‑flavoured proprietary food aimed at supporting children’s nutritional intake. Each serving provides 6 g of protein along with essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and probiotics. The product combines a blend of whey, casein, and soy proteins with probiotics and micronutrients to support healthy growth, digestion, and immunity.
The company said KidoShake is positioned as a convenient nutrition supplement for children aged 2 years and above who may have selective eating habits or inadequate dietary intake, and is aligned with the broader need to improve child nutrition outcomes in India.
Commenting on the launches, Mr. Gautam Bali, Founder and Managing Director, Vestige Marketing Pvt. Ltd., said, “With Vestige Veg–Glucosamine and Vestige KidoShake, we are strengthening our portfolio with focused solutions for adult joint health and child nutrition. Our goal is to offer science‑backed, inclusive products that fit modern lifestyles and help more people take charge of their well‑being.
