First Partnership in India, Collaborating Toward Future Market Growth

TOKYO, Japan – September 18, 2025 – Tenchijin Inc., a space-tech innovator transforming sustainable water infrastructure management, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Swach Environment Private Limited (“Swach”), a leading water infrastructure company in India, on July 1, 2025. Under this MOU, Tenchijin and Swach intend to pursue Proof-of-Concept (PoC) projects in three locations — Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal — aimed at testing the applicability of Tenchijin’s “KnoWaterleak”, a water leakage assessment and management system, in the Indian market. The PoC initiatives are currently under consideration and will be carried out subject to government approval and support.

This agreement represents Tenchijin’s first partnership in India and establishes a foundation for future business expansion in the country.

Our Trusted Partner – Swach Environment Private Limited

Swach is a leading water infrastructure and service company based in Kolkata, West Bengal, providing integrated solutions for drinking water, wastewater, effluent, and sewage management and smart water solutions. Its expertise spans Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC), Operations & Maintenance (O&M), and Build Own Operate and Transfer (BOOT) as a water utility serving across the spectrum of customers, across industrial, municipal, domestic, urban, and rural segments.

Swach has demonstrated strong technical proficiency and reliability through its extensive track record in delivering large-scale water infrastructure projects across India’s capital and various urban, industrial, and rural regions. In addition, proven record of delivering ongoing joint projects with Veolia India, the Indian subsidiary of France-based Veolia Group, one of the world’s leading environmental services companies, further demonstrates Swach’s credibility.

  • Delhi: Has been a partner in “Nangloi Water Supply Project”, one of the largest public-private partnership (PPP) initiatives by the Delhi Jal Board, aiming to deliver 24/7 water supply. Together with Veolia India, Swach manages a plant with a capacity of 40 million MGD (approx. 6 million liters per day) and serves over 1.2 million people.
  • West Bengal: Operates “Haldia Water Supply Project”, one of India’s largest industrial and municipal water supply projects with a supply of over 42 MGD (approx. 200 million liters) and a city operator for Haldia. The operating entity received the Best PPP Operator in the Water & Wastewater Sector at the World Water Awards 2024–2025.

India, the most populous country in the world, faces serious water infrastructure challenges, including aging pipelines, high non-revenue water (NRW) rates, and intermittent water supply. KnoWaterleak’s water leakage risk assessment function is expected to play a significant role in addressing these challenges.

Tenchijin strives to deliver an innovative platform for the country’s future. We believe Swach’s proven expertise, strong technological capabilities, and trusted track record in India make them the ideal partner to tackle the ongoing challenges.

MUMBAI — Amit Naheta, a 7th-generation luxury jeweler and Co-Managing Director of Jaipur Jewels, is making a name for himself as a modern visionary in the world of heritage jewelry. With over two decades of experience, Naheta has successfully blended traditional Indian craftsmanship with a keen eye for global trends.

In 2012, Naheta spearheaded the relaunch of Jaipur Jewels, a prestigious heritage jewelry house. Under his leadership, the brand adopted a new design philosophy and a client-first approach, focusing on creating heirloom-worthy pieces that honor Indian heritage while appealing to the modern collector.

A certified GIA gemologist and a graduate of Sydenham College, Mumbai, Naheta’s business philosophy is rooted in building deep, personal relationships with his clients, often treating them as an extension of his own family. For him, jewelry is more than just a product; it’s a memory and an emotion. He specializes in curating investment-worthy portfolios and redesigning cherished heirlooms with modern elegance.

Naheta’s commitment to staying ahead of the curve is evident in his regular attendance at international trade shows in locations such as Basel, Las Vegas, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Dubai. This global perspective ensures Jaipur Jewels maintains access to rare stones and innovative designs.

Naheta’s work has solidified his reputation not just as a jeweler, but as a “custodian of heritage, a creative strategist, and a trusted advisor to high-net-worth individuals and legacy families.” Through his leadership, Jaipur Jewels continues to thrive, preserving a rich artisanal legacy for generations to come.

A total of 84 churches across 10 cities in Ethiopia have officially changed their church signboard names to Shincheonji Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (Chairman: Lee Man-hee, hereinafter “Shincheonji Church of Jesus”).

On the 10th, the Peter Tribe of Shincheonji held the “Ethiopia 84 Churches Signboard Changing Ceremony.” During the event, 84 church pastors declared that they had become members of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, committed to preaching the Word of the New Covenant Revelation, and resolved to become one through the “revealed Word.”

This development stems from the participation of Pastor Asefa Angeto (President of the Misgana Denomination Association) in the “2nd Global Invitation Revelation Seminar” held last November at Shincheonji Cheongju Church. After returning to his home country, Ethiopia, Pastor Asefa continued to lead local seminars based on the Word he had learned.

Pastor Asefa had traveled to over 100 churches in 10 cities, conducting seminars and testifying to the revealed Word he learned from Shincheonji.

This signboard replacement is being regarded as more than a simple change of signage—it is seen as a major breakthrough in spreading a Word-centered transformation across the Ethiopian Christian community.

At the commemorative ceremony, the 84 representative pastors declared, “We have become members of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, having mastered the Word of the New Covenant Revelation. We resolve to preach this Word throughout Ethiopia, so that both pastors and believers alike may follow only the truth and devote themselves more fervently to the ministry of the Word.”

A representative of the Peter Tribe of Shincheonji stated, “Currently, 181 pastors in Ethiopia are learning the revealed Word from Shincheonji Church of Jesus. We will continue to make known the fact that the prophecies of Revelation have been fulfilled today, and we will do our utmost so that churches around the world may become united through the Word.”

CISSP, MBA IIM Lucknow, September 15, 2025 As India commemorates Engineers’ Day in honor of Bharat Ratna Sir M. Visvesvaraya, the spotlight turns not only to innovation but to protection. In an era where digital infrastructure underpins every aspect of life—from banking and healthcare to education and governance—engineers are no longer just builders. They are guardians of the digital realm.

This year, AiCyber.Guru, a cybersecurity education and consulting startup based in Lucknow, is calling on engineers, students, and professionals to take a pledge:
To fight cybercrime, raise awareness, and build the skills needed to prevent cyberattacks.

Cybercrime Is Escalating—And Getting Smarter

According to the latest Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) report, India recorded over 17.82 lakh cybercrime complaints between 2018 and 2022. While ₹5,489 crore was saved through swift action by cyber cells and helplines such as 1930, the report warns of a sharp rise in AI-powered scams, deepfake frauds, and social engineering attacks.

The research by AiCyber.Guru highlights chilling real-world cases:

  • Case 1: The Doctor’s Digital Arrest – ₹2.81 Crore Lost

A Lucknow-based doctor was manipulated into believing she was under investigation by TRAI and CBI. Isolated for eight days under a fabricated “digital arrest,” she unknowingly gave access to five bank accounts. The scammers siphoned off ₹2.81 crore while she remained under psychological duress.

Lesson: Digital arrest is a fake and illegal tactic used by cybercriminals to trap victims through fear. Stay alert—spread the word to friends and family so they don’t fall for it.

  • Case 2: UPI Fraud – ₹56,000 Vanished in Minutes

A college student in Noida received a call from someone posing as a delivery agent, claiming a parcel needed a ₹5 verification fee. The caller sent a UPI link, and within seconds of clicking and entering her PIN, ₹56,000 was drained from her account. Despite reporting the incident to the cyber helpline (1930), recovery was partial.

Lesson: Never click on unsolicited payment links. Always verify sender identity and use official apps for transactions

  • Case 3: Nation-State Cyberwarfare – Infrastructure Crippled

During geopolitical tensions, malware like IsaacWiper and LoadEdge targeted telecom, energy, and financial systems. Fake surrender messages aired on national TV, and critical data was wiped from servers—showing how cyberattacks have become tools of modern warfare.

Lesson: Cyberattacks are no longer just criminal acts—they’re strategic weapons in modern warfare. Protecting critical infrastructure requires skilled defenders and national cyber readiness.

These cases aren’t just cautionary tales—they’re urgent calls for action.

AiCyber.Guru: Building India’s Next-Gen AiCyber Workforce

Founded by Somendra Nath Tiwari, a cybersecurity and telecom veteran with over two decades of rich experience at Microsoft, Nokia, Jio, and Motorola, AiCyber.Guru is more than a startup—it’s a movement.

As an official partner of EC-Council, AiCyber.Guru offers globally recognized certifications that prepare learners for real-world cyber defense:

  • CEH – Certified Ethical Hacker
  • CPENT – Certified Penetration Testing Professional
  • CHFI – Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator
  • CSA – Certified SOC Analyst
  • CTIA – Certified Threat Intelligence Analyst

“Our goal is to democratize cybersecurity education,” says Somendra. “We’re blending AI-powered content, gamified learning, and strategic consulting to empower individuals, institutions, and industries.”

The platform also runs Hackerverse CTFs, interactive quizzes, and a vibrant WhatsApp community where learners, mentors, and experts collaborate to decode threats and share insights.

The Alarming Landscape

  • A cyberattack occurs every 39 seconds globally
  • India ranks among the top nations in digital payments, yet 52% of organizations report breaches
  • Over 400,000 fake websites and DDoS attacks emerge monthly
  • Over 1.5 million cybersecurity roles remain unfilled in India, professionals needed immediately, with 3.5 million required globally by 2025

Despite this, awareness remains low. Many citizens fall prey to scams simply because they don’t know how to verify identities, spot phishing links, or secure their devices.

Engineers’ Day Call to Action

This Engineers’ Day, AiCyber.Guru invites India’s tech community to:

  • Take the Cyber Pledge: Commit to learning, sharing, and defending
  • Enroll in Cybersecurity certifications to become certified defenders
  • Join the AiCyber WhatsApp Community as a mentor, expert, or learner
  • Participate in monthly CTF challenges and awareness campaigns

India and its cybersecurity defenders must rise beyond being mere adopters of foreign technologies. It’s time to lead—to innovate, architect, and secure the next generation of digital infrastructure with indigenous strength. To be truly self-reliant, we must build our own AI-powered cyber defense systems, shape global standards, and cultivate a workforce that doesn’t just follow trends but sets them.

The tech community must embrace a security-first mindset—where protection is not an afterthought but a foundational principle. The future of cybersecurity must be Made in India, Led by India.

Whether you’re a student exploring career paths, a professional seeking upskilling, or an educator shaping future minds—AiCyber.Guru offers a launchpad to cyber excellence.

Final Word

Cybersecurity isn’t just a technical skill—it’s a civic responsibility.
As engineers, let’s not just build the future. Let’s secure it.

Happy Engineers’ Day from AiCyber.Guru
Let’s engineer a safer, smarter, cyber-aware India—together.

New Delhi [India], September 10: In today’s overcrowded digital space, Chai with Ilachi has emerged as one of India’s most distinctive cultural voices — a Bollywood podcast where glamour meets entrepreneurial grit, and conversations go beyond surface-level storytelling. Hosted by Ilachi Nagada, a leading entertainment strategist, digital marketing leader, and podcast host, the show has evolved from a bold experiment into a cultural movement that blends authenticity, entertainment, and inspiration.

Since its launch, Chai with Ilachi has struck a chord with audiences by being unapologetically real. Its viral reels, trending interviews, and Bollywood banter have become the foundation of a platform where celebrities drop their guards, entrepreneurs reveal their journeys, and young India finds stories that reflect their own lives. “Every conversation is like sitting down with a friend over chai,” says Ilachi. “There’s laughter, there’s drama, and there’s depth. What makes us unique is that we don’t script authenticity — we live it.” This approach has transformed the podcast into a community-driven platform that values honesty above image and has rapidly built a loyal listener base across Instagram, YouTube, Spotify, and Facebook.

The resonance of Chai with Ilachi is deeply tied to Ilachi’s own journey. With more than a decade of experience in film syndication, content acquisition, and brand transformation, he has been shaping India’s entertainment narrative long before stepping behind the microphone. As Managing Partner at Cinekorn Entertainment, he has played a pivotal role in reimagining how Indian and international cinema connects with audiences, while his entrepreneurial vision expanded into VeRoMa Media, a 360° marketing and communications agency. Holding an MBA in Management and a Diploma in Filmmaking from one of the world’s top film schools, Ilachi represents a rare combination of strategist and storyteller — a blend that powers both his career and the identity of Chai with Ilachi.

Now entering its next chapter, Chai with Ilachi 2.0 expands its scope beyond Bollywood to feature entrepreneurs, innovators, and disruptors who are shaping India’s future. The upcoming season blends the charisma of celebrity culture with the resilience of entrepreneurship, creating a platform where ambition meets artistry. The first “Beyond Bollywood” episode launches in October with entrepreneur Jitendr Andhale as the opening guest. “Bollywood gossip will always be our starting point,” says Ilachi, “but our audience also wants growth and motivation. They want to see how dreams turn into legacies — and that’s where we are headed.”

Voices from the industry already echo this impact. Rising music sensation Danish Alfaaz described his experience on the podcast as “a meaningful conversation” that allowed him to open up in ways he rarely does. Actress Niharica Raizada, Miss India UK 2010 and granddaughter of legendary composer O.P. Nayyar, added, “Chai with Ilachi is a safe environment to discuss secrets, gossip, and inner thoughts knowing that you are not going to be judged. It brings out the most authentic version of yourself.”

What sets Chai with Ilachi apart is not just its digital traction but its emotional currency. In a world where virality is temporary, this podcast is building a cultural archive of stories that matter. For audiences, it is more than entertainment — it is a bridge between Bollywood and entrepreneurship, a community built on honesty, and a testament to Ilachi Nagada’s vision of conversations that create not just fame, but a lasting legacy.
