The recognition reflects the depth of AI engineering atQor has built from its India base, spanning manufacturing, financial services, retail, healthcare, and public sector, and extends to Canada and the United States.

AHMEDABAD, GUJARAT — July 23, 2026 — atQor, a Microsoft-focused AI and data platform company with its largest engineering base in India, today announced it has achieved Microsoft Frontier Partner status. The nomination and technical validation were led by Microsoft India, and the resulting designation carries global recognition, extending to atQor’s operations in Canada and the United States as well.

atQor holds all six Microsoft Solutions Partner designations, the Support Services designation, Azure Expert MSP status, Microsoft Fabric Featured Partner recognition, and multiple Advanced Specializations spanning Copilot, AI platforms, data and cloud security, identity management, threat protection, and infrastructure migration.

“Our engineers do not wait for a mandate to use AI, they build with it every day, and that is what Microsoft recognized,” said Pushkaraj Kale, CEO of atQor India. “Earlier this year, our teams across Ahmedabad, Mumbai, the National Capital Region, and Bengaluru built and deployed more than two hundred production AI agents in a single seventy-two-hour engineering event, and twenty-five of those are now live on Microsoft Marketplace. This nomination was led by Microsoft India, and it reflects the same discipline our customers see in manufacturing, financial services, retail, healthcare, and public sector work every day.”

“The Frontier Partner designation recognizes organizations that are helping customers move beyond AI experimentation and into business transformation. atQor has consistently invested across Microsoft’s AI, data, cloud, and security stack while building the Go-To-Market and delivery capabilities required to create measurable customer outcomes. We are pleased to see atQor join this distinguished group of partners and look forward to their continued contribution to AI adoption across industries,” said Om Batra, Channel Partner Sales Leader, India and South Asia, Microsoft.

“The most successful AI partners are those that can bridge innovation with operational excellence. atQor has built competencies spanning Microsoft Fabric, Azure AI, Security, and Copilot while maintaining a strong focus on delivery quality and governance. Their Frontier Partner recognition reflects the technical maturity and execution capability needed to help customers scale AI with confidence,” said Sanjeev Sharma, Director Tech Sales and Partner CTO, India and South Asia, Microsoft.

“This recognition belongs to the whole company,” said Kartik Shah, Founder of atQor. “Pushkaraj and the India team led the work that earned it, and our Canada and U.S. teams, led by Co-Founder and Global COO Greg Kachhadiya, hold themselves to that same standard. India is a key market for us, and we will continue to invest in and grow the AI vision of India and Indian businesses.”

For customers, the recognition means fewer handoffs: one firm carrying the work from strategy through the AI agent in production.

India at the Center of an Integrated Delivery Model

In India, atQor continues to deepen its Microsoft engineering, solution-development, and delivery capabilities across data, AI, cloud, security, and managed services under CEO Pushkaraj Kale. India carries the largest share of atQor’s engineering work, and is also where the company develops its repeatable accelerators and Microsoft Marketplace offerings.

Gurugram (Haryana): Gurugram Police have detained 13 suspected Bangladeshi nationals allegedly residing in the city illegally and have initiated the process for their deportation, an official said.

Assistant Commissioner of Police (Crime) Naveen Sharma said the Crime Branch had received information around a month ago that some Bangladeshi nationals were living illegally in India and working as labourers at various locations in Gurugram.

“Acting on this intelligence, the team detained 13 Bangladeshi nationals who were staying in the country illegally. Upon verifying their documents, it was confirmed that they had entered India unlawfully. Consequently, proceedings for their deportation were initiated,” Sharma said.

He said the 13 detainees are being taken to Malda Town in West Bengal under the escort of an inspector and a team of 23 police personnel, where they will be handed over to the security agencies for further deportation proceedings.

According to Sharma, the detained individuals had been living in different parts of Gurugram, working as labourers while staying in rented accommodations.

The ACP also appealed to the public to support law enforcement by reporting suspicious individuals.

“We appeal to all citizens to contribute to national security. If you come across individuals such as tenants, labourers, domestic workers, hotel staff, or construction workers whom you find suspicious, please report the information by calling 112 or contacting your nearest police station,” he said.

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], July 20: Co-founder Eshita Kalidindi is bringing the developmental science she studied at Harvard University and NYU directly into the classrooms of Sagebrook International School, the new IB PYP candidate school opening this July in Hyderabad’s Financial District. Eshita holds a Master’s in Human Development and Education from Harvard University and a B.A. in Psychology (summa cum laude) from New York University. She has built every layer of Sagebrook around what science says young children actually need.

At NYU, Eshita worked as a research assistant in a Social Psychology lab focused on child and adolescent mental health. Her academic work has since centred on early childhood development, learning science and the relational foundations of learning. At Sagebrook, that work moves from theory to practice.

“Research tells us clearly what young children need,” Eshita says. “Our work is to listen carefully and build a school that actually answers.”

The translation begins with Beginnings, Sagebrook’s parent-toddler programme for children aged 18 to 36 months. Drawing on neuroscience showing that over a million neural connections form every second in the first three years of life, the Beginnings programme prioritises warm, responsive exchanges over instruction. Parents stay on campus through the three-week transition to support secure attachment. Teachers weave songs, gestures and stories through the day. Similarly, the signature Block Building Programme, scaffolded across the early years, draws on decades of play-based learning research showing how open-ended construction develops spatial reasoning, mathematical thinking, language and executive function in young learners.

The same evidence base shapes Sagebrook’s Social Emotional Learning framework, which blends identity, empathy, social awareness and meaningful action into the daily life of the school rather than reserving them for weekly lessons.

“SEL is a core part of our curriculum at Sagebrook, not something we do in addition,” says Eshita.

Sagebrook’s biophilic campus, designed by internationally recognised school architect Prakash Nair, extends the same logic. Sunlit classrooms, natural materials, reflective nooks for self-regulation and a school-wide filtered air system are choices grounded in research on how the environment shapes children’s attention, mood and learning.

The school’s approach and partnership with Whitgift School in the United Kingdom further strengthen its global learning ecosystem. Sagebrook’s International Advisory Board includes Dr. Elizabeth City of Harvard University, Dr. Swati Popat Vats of the Early Childhood Association of India and counselling psychologist Dr. Varudhini Kankipati, ensuring evidence-based practice runs through every level of the school.

For families considering international schools in Hyderabad, Sagebrook offers something distinct: an early years education designed around what developmental science has been telling us for decades.

Sagebrook International School welcomes its first cohort from Beginnings through Grade 2 in July 2026. Admissions are open. Visit www.sagebrook.in.

The New Delhi-based women’s footwear brand brings together handcrafted detailing, advanced cushioning and distinctive design across heels, flats, platforms and occasion footwear.

NEW DELHI, INDIA – Luxury footwear is often judged at first glance. Its true measure, however, is revealed hours later – in the quality of its construction, the confidence of every step and whether the wearer still wants to keep it on.

That idea sits at the heart of Windlust, an Indian women’s footwear brand created for customers who want statement design without accepting discomfort as part of the experience.

From sculpted heels and embellished flats to contemporary mules, platforms and wedges, Windlust approaches footwear as both an expression of personal style and an object that must perform in real life. The result is a collection that feels polished and occasion-ready while remaining grounded in practical wearability.

Rather than using luxury only as a description of appearance, the brand places equal emphasis on the details a customer feels but may not immediately see: underfoot cushioning, secure construction, balanced silhouettes, hand-finished surfaces and attentive after-sales support.

“Luxury should not exist only in a photograph. It should reveal itself in the way a pair is made, the way it feels after several hours and the confidence of knowing that the brand remains accessible after the purchase.”

– Rishab Bahl, Founder, Windlust

Each Windlust pair is handcrafted, with collections moving from restrained everyday designs to fully embellished occasion footwear. The visual language is deliberately varied but recognisable: refined shapes, luminous finishes, crystal and pearl accents, contemporary proportions and details intended to feel distinctive rather than mass-produced.

Luxury, reconsidered from the inside out

Comfort is treated as part of the design process rather than a feature added at the end. Windlust’s multi-layer DenseFoam cushioning combines three layers of high-density cushioning to create a softer and more supportive underfoot experience. Selected heels also use the brand’s Xtra-Secure bolted heel construction, with impact-resistant components sourced from the United Kingdom to improve stability and durability.

The footwear is made through a handcrafted process that combines contemporary product development with Indian artisanal handwork. Embellishments are applied by hand on selected designs, while minimal styles rely on proportion, surface and finishing instead of ornament alone. Sizes run from EUR 36 to EUR 42, with selected customisation available.

The three editions allow customers to move between understated sophistication, signature Windlust comfort and more expressive occasion pieces without leaving the brand’s central design philosophy. The broader collection includes flats, heels, platforms, wedges, mules, formal footwear and embellished designs.

Trust as part of the luxury experience

For a direct-to-consumer brand, a beautifully made product is only one part of earning confidence. Windlust has designed its online experience around the concerns that often prevent customers from trying an unfamiliar footwear label: sizing uncertainty, delivery visibility and access to a real person when assistance is needed.

  • Free shipping across India and cash on delivery
  • Free size or design exchanges, including reverse pickup
  • A 14-day return window, with store credit issued under the published policy
  • Order tracking through WhatsApp and email
  • Direct WhatsApp assistance for sizing and exchanges
  • Publicly listed New Delhi business and customer-support details

“A new brand cannot ask for trust without making itself accountable,” added Bahl. “Clear policies, responsive assistance and a simple exchange experience matter just as much as presentation. Our aim is to make the first Windlust purchase feel considered from discovery to delivery.”

Windlust is inviting Indian customers to experience a more considered idea of modern luxury – one that is visible in the design, felt in the construction and supported long after checkout.

The Madhya Pradesh Football Association today announced the 7th season of the Madhya Pradesh Premier League, the state’s top-tier football competition, alongside a partnership with India Khelo Football to build a talent pathway from Madhya Pradesh’s 55 districts into the league.

MPFA has appointed India Khelo Football as its Official Grassroots Development Partner for the state.

Madhya Pradesh has over 11,000 registered footballers and more than 500 affiliated clubs across 54 district associations. The gap has never been talent. It has been the route from a district ground to a professional trial.

That route is what the partnership will build. India Khelo Football will run grassroots programmes and talent identification across the state, feeding players toward MPPL clubs and beyond. The organisation will also bring Project Naari Shakti, its girls-exclusive football programme, to Madhya Pradesh, and extend IKF Pathway 360 — a career pathway for the ninety-nine percent of young footballers who will not turn professional, but who can still build a life inside the game as coaches, referees, physios, and administrators.

India Khelo Football has worked with over 50,000 players across 135 cities and villages in five years, reaching border towns, tribal belts, Naxal-affected regions, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Seven programmes have already run in Madhya Pradesh.

Mr. Amit Ranjan Deb, Hony Secretary, Madhya Pradesh Football Association, said:
“The Madhya Pradesh Premier League has given our state a competitive stage for six seasons. What we have needed is a stronger pipeline into it. India Khelo Football brings a proven grassroots record and a philosophy that matches ours — every district, not just the big cities. MPFA welcomes them as our Official Grassroots Development Partner and asks all our district associations and clubs to work with them.”

Phani Bhushan, Founder, India Khelo Football, said:
“Madhya Pradesh has eleven thousand registered players and eight approved grounds. That arithmetic tells you everything — the problem was never the player, it was the pathway. MPFA has built the stage. Our work is to make sure the boy in Chhindwara and the girl in Rewa can find their way onto it. Football is our entry point. What we are really building is a career, and a life, inside the game.”

The 7th Madhya Pradesh Premier League season begins 26-September 2026.

India Khelo Football (IKF) proudly announces that its Brand Ambassador, Anaya Sehgal (17), has successfully raised ₹1.66 lakh through the “Anaya Goal 2025” initiative, recording a 66% increase over the funds raised during the inaugural campaign in 2024.

Launched in 2024, Anaya Goal is a unique player-led fundraising initiative where Anaya pledges to convert every goal she scores into an opportunity for a young girl to play football. During the 2025 season, Anaya represented Lion City Sailors in the Singapore Women’s Premier League (WPL) while also playing for her High School Varsity team. Across both competitions, she scored 16 goals, inspiring supporters to contribute towards her mission.

The funds raised will be utilised by India Khelo Football to support the journey of girls who dream of playing football but are held back by financial constraints. Through IKF’s grassroots network across India, the support will directly reach aspiring young girls in underserved communities and for them to showcase their talent to professional clubs and academies in India.

Speaking about the initiative, Anaya Sehgal said:

“Football has given me confidence, friendships and opportunities that have shaped who I am. Through Anaya Goal, I want every goal I score to help another girl begin her own football journey. Knowing that my performances on the pitch can create opportunities for someone else makes every goal even more meaningful.”

Since becoming an IKF Brand Ambassador in 2024, Anaya has championed girls’ participation in football and has used her own journey to encourage more young girls to pursue the sport regardless of their background.

Building on the success of the past two editions, Anaya Goal returns for the 2026 season. This year, Anaya will represent Albirex Jurong in the Singapore Women’s Premier League alongside her High School Varsity team, continuing her pledge to transform every goal into an opportunity for another girl to access the game.

As India Khelo Football continues its Project IKF Naari Shakti mission to increase girls’ participation in football across the country, initiatives like Anaya Goal demonstrate how athletes themselves can become catalysts for creating access, opportunity and hope for the next generation.

Mumbai, India — July 13, 2026 – Production Company “hallucinogen” has released the official trailer for his short film, The Dead Sing for the Living, directed by Rahul Bhushan, following the film’s Official Selection at the Regina International Film Festival & Awards (RIFFA), Canada.

Conceived as an act of remembrance, The Dead Sing for the Living brings together Palestinian poet and musician Shadi Zaqtan.

Structured as a ritual of remembrance, the film unfolds through a haunting invocation of names and a poetic catalogue of destruction: homes, hospitals, schools, trees, birds and dreams.

Shot on ARRI 16mm, the film embraces the physicality of celluloid as both an aesthetic choice and a metaphor. Every grain, scratch and imperfection becomes part of an archive resisting erasure.

The film features original music by Tajdar Junaid, original artwork by artist and activist Orijit Sen, and is presented by Payal Kapadia.

The newly released trailer offers the first public glimpse into the film’s visual language ahead of its international festival journey.

Director, Rahul Bhushan

The film arrives amid a continuing global conversation on Palestine, one that has prompted artists and cultural figures including Javier Bardem, Greta Thunberg, Susan Sarandon, Annie Lennox, Brian Eno, Roger Waters, Peter Gabriel, Bella Hadid, Tilda Swinton, Steve Coogan, Charles Dance, Ralph Fiennes, Mark Ruffalo, Dua Lipa, Macklemore, Massive Attack, Ken Loach, Mike Leigh, Miriam Margolyes and many others, to speak publicly about the human cost of this war.

Kolkata, India: Life rarely slows down. Work. Family. Traffic. Endless to-do lists. Somewhere in between, people often ignore something important—their health. A blood test gets postponed. Then postponed again. Not because it isn’t necessary, but because booking one feels like another task waiting to be checked off.

The Diagnostic Clinical Laboratory, a C.M.C Vellore, Regd pathology lab in Kalighat, Kolkata is trying to change that.

With a patient-first approach and a simplified booking process, the laboratory is making it easier for people in Kolkata to book blood tests without the usual hassle. Whether it’s a routine health check-up, a doctor-prescribed investigation, or a preventive screening, patients can now schedule their tests in just a few simple steps. Easy. Quick. Convenient.

Healthcare is changing. People expect services to be available when they need them. Diagnostics shouldn’t be any different. That’s where The Diagnostic Clinical Laboratory fits in. The focus isn’t only on delivering accurate reports. It’s about making the entire experience—from booking a blood test to receiving the report—much smoother than before.

Book Blood Test Online Without the Usual Hassle

Imagine this. It’s Monday morning. You’ve been advised to check your thyroid profile and blood sugar. Office starts in an hour. Visiting a diagnostic centre means skipping work, waiting in queues, and spending half the day outside. Sounds familiar? Instead, you simply book your blood test, choose a suitable time, and even request home blood collection if needed. Small change. Big relief.

The laboratory offers a comprehensive range of pathology services, including Complete Blood Count (CBC), diabetes screening, thyroid function tests, lipid profile, liver and kidney function tests, vitamin tests, hormone analysis, infection screening, preventive health packages, and several other routine as well as specialised investigations. Everything under one roof. That’s how it should be.

Home Blood Collection Makes Healthcare More Convenient

One service that continues to make a real difference is home blood collection. Trained phlebotomists visit the patient’s preferred location, collect the sample following standard safety protocols, and ensure it reaches the laboratory for processing. For senior citizens, busy professionals, recovering patients, or anyone who simply values convenience, this service makes healthcare feel less stressful. And honestly, that’s something people appreciate.

Accuracy, of course, remains at the centre of everything. Advanced diagnostic systems, experienced laboratory professionals, and strict quality procedures help ensure dependable reports. Because a blood test isn’t just another report. It’s often the first step towards understanding what’s happening inside the body.

Why Preventive Blood Tests Matter More Than Ever

Preventive healthcare has become more important than ever. Doctors continue to encourage routine blood investigations, not only when symptoms appear but also before they do. Regular health screenings can help identify diabetes, thyroid disorders, cholesterol imbalance, vitamin deficiencies, liver conditions, kidney diseases, infections, and many other health concerns early. Sometimes, catching a problem early makes all the difference.

Welcome to Doctors’ Corner under the roof of The Diagnostic Clinical Laboratory, where you can book doctor’s appointment online as per your convenience.

Speaking about the initiative, a spokesperson from The Diagnostic Clinical Laboratory said, “Our goal has always been simple. Make quality diagnostics easier to access. Patients shouldn’t have to struggle just to book a blood test. We want the process to feel convenient, reliable and reassuring from start to finish.”

The Diagnostic Clinical Laboratory continues to combine technology with compassionate healthcare, helping patients access trusted diagnostic services without unnecessary complications. From online blood test booking and home sample collection to timely report delivery, every step has been designed keeping patient convenience in mind.

Sometimes better healthcare doesn’t begin inside a consultation room. It begins with one simple decision. To stop delaying. To book the blood test. And to take that first step towards better health.

About The Diagnostic Clinical Laboratory

The Diagnostic Clinical Laboratory is a C.M.C Vellore, Regd pathology laboratory in South Kolkata offering comprehensive diagnostic services across hematology, biochemistry, microbiology, serology, hormone testing, preventive health check-up packages, radiology, and home blood collection. With experienced professionals, modern diagnostic technology, and a commitment to quality, the laboratory continues to support patients with accurate reports, timely service, and a healthcare experience built around convenience and trust.
