										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Healthtech startup <a href="https://businessreviewlive.com/wearable-startup-temple-raises-54-mn-to-build-breakthrough-brain-monitoring-wearable/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Temple</strong></a>, founded by Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal, has acquired London-based Longevous, an evidence-based longevity medicine practice. The acquisition comes as Temple prepares to launch its wearable health technology platform and expand its longevity-focused healthcare ecosystem.</p>
<p>The acquisition is aimed at enhancing Temple’s scientific and clinical capabilities, with Longevous founders Dr Robert Mohr and Dr. Avi Roy joining the company in full-time leadership roles. Announcing the development, Goyal said the acquisition will bring both founders and their team into Temple as the company continues to build its longevity-focused health ecosystem.</p>
<p>As part of the transition, Dr. Robert Mohr will take on the role of Chief Medical Officer at Temple. Mohr is a board-certified physician with nearly two decades of clinical experience. Over the course of his career, he has worked across emergency medicine, preventive healthcare, precision medicine, and longevity-focused clinical practice. His experience will therefore strengthen Temple’s clinical capabilities as the company develops its health technology platform.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Dr. Avi Roy will join as Head of Science. Roy, an Oxford-trained biomedical scientist, has developed expertise at the intersection of longevity research and healthcare innovation. He is also known for co-founding Founders Health and UDA and previously served as a research fellow at the University of Oxford’s Centre for the Advancement of Sustainable Medical Innovation. His research background will support Temple as it advances its scientific framework and longevity-focused technology.</p>
<p>According to Goyal, the relationship began following a meeting with Mohr and Roy at a dinner event in London a few months ago. The initial discussions focused on longevity science and eventually prompted Mohr and Roy to test Temple’s technology. Subsequently, the pair became more closely involved with the company’s research initiatives.</p>
<p>Over a two-month period, Mohr and Roy used Temple’s wearable device as part of their daily routines. During this period, they also collaborated with Temple’s science team to evaluate its proprietary ‘Entropy’ metric and the physiological data generated by the device. They also reviewed aspects of the company’s scientific framework, challenged existing assumptions, and provided feedback on research papers before submission.</p>
<p>The collaboration eventually led to the acquisition, bringing Longevous’ expertise into Temple while allowing the practice to retain its existing identity. While becoming part of Temple, <a href="https://www.longevous.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Longevous</strong> </a>will continue operating under its existing brand structure, with Mohr and Roy maintaining support for its current client base.</p>
<p>Temple is focused on developing wearable technology designed to track physiological signals and longevity-related health indicators. The startup has designed its wearable device to sit near the temple region and incorporated a proprietary measurement called Entropy. According to the company, the metric helps assess the body’s real-time energy expenditure.</p>
<p>Temple expects to launch its wearable product within the next year. Meanwhile, the company is placing greater emphasis on scientific validation as it prepares for the product launch. Earlier, Goyal indicated that the health-related claims associated with the device would receive support from peer-reviewed scientific studies.</p>
<p>The acquisition therefore gives Temple additional clinical and scientific expertise as it moves closer to launching its wearable technology. By bringing Mohr and Roy into leadership positions, the company can combine longevity medicine, biomedical research, and wearable technology within a broader health ecosystem. At the same time, Longevous will continue serving its existing clients under its current brand, creating continuity during the transition.</p>
<p>Temple’s move also highlights the growing interest in longevity medicine and technology-driven healthcare. As wearable devices generate increasingly detailed physiological data, companies are seeking stronger scientific frameworks to interpret that information. Consequently, Temple’s collaboration with longevity specialists could play an important role in shaping its approach to preventive healthcare, physiological monitoring, and evidence-based longevity.</p>The post <a href="https://businessreviewlive.com/healthtech-startup-temple-acquires-longevous-to-boost-longevity-science/">Healthtech startup Temple acquires Longevous to boost longevity science</a> appeared first on <a href="https://businessreviewlive.com">Business Review Live | Business News, Reviews | Entrepreneur Stories, Interviews | Kerala | India</a>.]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>U.S.-based nutrition startup Berry Street has merged with Khosla Ventures-backed Indian healthtech startup <a href="https://businessreviewlive.com/healthify-cuts-27-of-workforce-in-restructuring-exercise/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Healthify</strong> </a>as demand for GLP-1 drugs continues to grow among people seeking weight-loss solutions.</p>
<p>The companies have not disclosed the financial terms of the merger. However, a JPMorgan report published this year estimated that more than 30 million people in the U.S. could use GLP-1 drugs by 2030, highlighting the growing opportunity in the metabolic health market.</p>
<p>Following the merger, <a href="https://www.berrystreet.co/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Berry Street</strong></a> founder Noah Kotlove and Healthify founder Tushar Vashisht will serve as co-CEOs of the combined company. In the U.S., the business will operate under the Berry Street name, while it will retain the Healthify brand in markets such as India.</p>
<p>Healthify has raised more than $150 million in funding, according to sources. The company operates an app that combines AI-powered technology with human fitness and nutrition coaching. Last year, Healthify expanded its U.S. operations and introduced GLP-1-supported programmes in India. The company claims that it has served more than 45 million customers to date.</p>
<p>&#8220;Healthify&#8217;s mission has been to put a dietitian in every human&#8217;s pocket. We have spent a decade proving that AI can drive life-changing outcomes at scale. Berry Street gives us the clinical backbone and the coverage infrastructure to deliver that promise to the U.S. market at a scale no one has achieved before,&#8221; Healthify&#8217;s CEO Vashisht said in a press release.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Berry Street operates a network of more than 2,000 clinics and provides insurance-covered GLP-1 care. The company raised $50 million last year in a funding round led by Northzone, Sofina, and FJ Labs. In addition, Berry Street offers AI-powered nutrition coaching and meal-tracking services and claims to have served more than 200,000 people through collaborations with Amazon, Walmart, and other platforms.</p>
<p>The merger will therefore combine Healthify&#8217;s AI-driven nutrition and fitness capabilities with Berry Street&#8217;s clinical network and insurance infrastructure. Together, the companies aim to expand access to personalised metabolic health and GLP-1 care across the U.S.</p>
<p>&#8220;By pairing AI with a nationwide network of expert clinicians, Healthify and Berry Street are building the platform that will redefine metabolic care, giving everyone access to daily nutrition guidance and expert dietitian advice,&#8221; Khosla Ventures&#8217; founder Vinod Khosla said in a statement.</p>
<p>As a result, the combined company will focus on integrating AI-powered nutrition guidance, human clinical expertise and GLP-1 treatment support. The deal also gives Healthify a broader platform to scale its technology and coaching model in the U.S. while allowing Berry Street to strengthen its digital nutrition capabilities.</p>The post <a href="https://businessreviewlive.com/healthify-merges-with-berry-street-to-scale-ai-powered-nutrition-and-glp-1-care/">Healthify merges with Berry Street to scale AI-powered nutrition and GLP-1 care</a> appeared first on <a href="https://businessreviewlive.com">Business Review Live | Business News, Reviews | Entrepreneur Stories, Interviews | Kerala | India</a>.]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>E-commerce marketplace <a href="https://businessreviewlive.com/meesho-acquires-kirana-club-for-rs-202-cr-to-enter-indias-b2b-commerce-market/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Meesho</strong> </a>expects to create more than 10 lakh seasonal job opportunities across its seller and logistics ecosystem as businesses prepare for increased demand during the upcoming festive season.</p>
<p>The projected employment generation includes approximately 6.5 lakh jobs across Meesho&#8217;s seller network and about 3.75 lakh roles within its logistics operations. The hiring push is expected to support sellers and logistics partners as they increase capacity ahead of the festive sales period.</p>
<p>&#8220;The festive season is an important period for businesses across our ecosystem to scale up and prepare for increased demand. This year, we expect to enable over 10 lakh seasonal job opportunities. Nearly 1.3 lakh sellers are expected to hire seasonal workers across packaging, manufacturing, production, warehousing, and inventory management as they build inventory, launch new products, and expand their festive collections,&#8221; Meesho said in a statement on Friday.</p>
<p>Across its seller network, nearly 1.3 lakh sellers are expected to recruit temporary workers for a range of operational functions. These include packaging, manufacturing, production, warehousing, and inventory management, as sellers prepare inventory and introduce new products and festive collections.</p>
<p>The logistics ecosystem is also expected to expand its workforce. Meesho&#8217;s own logistics platform, <a href="https://www.valmo.in/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Valmo</strong></a>, along with its third-party logistics (3PL) partners, will increase capacity to handle the anticipated rise in order volumes.</p>
<p>Seasonal roles within logistics will cover delivery, sortation, delivery center operations, and supervisory functions. The hiring is expected to help logistics partners manage increased activity during the festive period.</p>
<p>&#8220;The festive season continues to create meaningful economic opportunities across the ecosystem, enabling sellers and logistics partners to grow their businesses while creating jobs across India,&#8221; Meesho said.</p>
<p>The announcement comes as major e-commerce companies in India prepare for their annual festive sales. These sales typically contribute a significant share of companies&#8217; yearly sales volumes, making the period particularly important for sellers, fulfillment networks, and logistics operators.</p>
<p>Meesho&#8217;s projected employment generation highlights the broader impact of festive e-commerce demand beyond online sales. As sellers increase inventory and expand operations, and logistics companies scale delivery and fulfillment capacity, the seasonal surge creates additional employment opportunities across multiple parts of the ecosystem.</p>
<p>With more than 10 lakh seasonal roles expected across its seller and logistics network, Meesho is preparing its ecosystem for the upcoming festive sales cycle. The planned hiring will support sellers in managing increased demand while helping Valmo and its 3PL partners strengthen their operational capacity across India.</p>The post <a href="https://businessreviewlive.com/meesho-eyes-over-10-lakh-seasonal-jobs-ahead-of-festive-season/">Meesho eyes over 10 Lakh seasonal jobs ahead of festive season</a> appeared first on <a href="https://businessreviewlive.com">Business Review Live | Business News, Reviews | Entrepreneur Stories, Interviews | Kerala | India</a>.]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The investment will bolster the technological infrastructure and capabilities of CGreen, which will be useful for making more informed decisions regarding recovery.</p>
<h3>Investment for Bharat’s recovery process</h3>
<p>Indifly has made an investment in CGreen, which is a technology-driven loan recovery and borrower intelligence firm aimed at enhancing the recovery process in Bharat.</p>
<p>This investment will help in the expansion of the technology platform of CGreen, enhance its resolution network, and fast-track their growth in tier 3 and below markets.</p>
<p>Together, these two corporations hope to foster an advanced and well-organized loan recovery environment whereby a good comprehension of the borrower will result in proper recovery actions.</p>
<h3>The problem with the current system</h3>
<p>India’s <a href="https://businessreviewlive.com/fintech-startup-freo-acquires-indialends-to-expand-digital-lending-and-financial-services/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>lending</strong> </a>space has expanded dramatically, but the collections infrastructure has not been able to catch up.</p>
<p>Most lenders continue to use manual processes, call centers, and scattered reporting that give very little insight into borrower engagement. Even as technologies such as text messaging, WhatsApp, email, and Interactive Voice Response enable initial contact, they fail when it comes to reaching out to borrowers later on.</p>
<p>Lenders often find themselves in the situation of making decisions on how to recover the dues without knowledge of why it was that the borrower had defaulted. This is especially true for lenders like banks, NBFCs, MFIs and fintech companies functioning in Tier 3 and below markets.</p>
<p>Going from Information to Intelligence, CGreen brings together the power of Artificial Intelligence, Voice AI, borrower interaction capture, field intelligence, workflow design, and Pragati Kendras for lenders to gain insights on overdue cases.</p>
<p>An important element in this strategy involves the separation of intent problems, where a borrower does not want to repay, and ability problems, where legitimate financial reasons make payment impossible.</p>
<p>This will help the lenders to decide on a more appropriate strategy for resolving the case. The model has been implemented at a large scale. CGreen has partnered with 29+ lenders and manages 3 lakh+ borrowers with AUM, managing more than ₹1,350 crore. It has a remote network across India, with an on-the-ground presence in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra &amp; Assam.</p>
<h3>Reasons behind Indifly’s investment</h3>
<p>This investment by Indifly is consistent with the long-term vision of Indifly to build technology-led companies for Bharat’s digital economy.</p>
<p>Indifly is an innovation factory for financial services, fintech infrastructure, and digital inclusion that works with founders addressing large structural problems through technology and execution. The approach taken by CGreen towards loan recovery solves one such problem by leveraging borrower insight and ground-level expertise to enhance the ability of lenders to recover unpaid loans.</p>
<p>Through the partnership, CGreen will be able to expand its platform, improve its AI technology, and establish its resolution structure in under-serviced lending sectors.</p>
<h3>Leadership Insights</h3>
<p>According to Vipr Raj Bhardwaj, CEO, CGreen, &#8220;Loan recovery should start with an understanding of the borrower, rather than the default. We have always focused on empowering the lender with the right information so that they can make an informed decision. This collaboration will allow us to enhance our technology and reach and build loan resolution infrastructure for Bharat.&#8221;</p>
<p>Abhinath Shinde, Co-Founder &amp; Director, Indifly, said, &#8220;CGreen fills a critical void in the lending space of India through the confluence of technology, borrower insight, and execution on the ground. We feel that there is a possibility of better recoveries, coupled with a more structured model for the lenders in Bharat.&#8221;</p>
<h3>Building Bharat with CGreen</h3>
<p>With this fundraise, CGreen will enhance its abilities to use AI and borrower intelligence, expand the Pragati Kendra chain, and build ties with banks, NBFCs, MFIs, and fintech lenders.</p>
<p>It hopes to expand its infrastructure for resolving loans in underserved markets and help lenders make better-informed recovery decisions.</p>
<h3>About CGreen</h3>
<p>CGreen is an AI-driven loan resolution and borrower intelligence company made in Bharat. It assists lending institutions to enhance collection efforts using the power of AI, Voice AI, recording of borrower interactions, field intelligence, and its on-ground Pragati Kendra network.</p>
<h3>About Indifly Ventures</h3>
<p><a class="qbe-widget" href="https://indiflyventures.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Indifly</strong></a> Ventures is a venture builder that builds the digital economy of Bharat in the domains of financial services, commerce, and digital inclusion. The venture does not operate by being a mere investor but works in association with entrepreneurs through its inCORE operations ecosystem.</p>
<p>Its ecosystem involves a wide range of fintech companies and investments, all driven by a common dream of promoting entrepreneurship and digital inclusion in Bharat.</p>The post <a href="https://businessreviewlive.com/indifly-invests-in-cgreen-to-build-ai-powered-loan-resolution-infrastructure-across-bharat/">Indifly Invests in CGreen to Build AI-Powered Loan Resolution Infrastructure Across Bharat</a> appeared first on <a href="https://businessreviewlive.com">Business Review Live | Business News, Reviews | Entrepreneur Stories, Interviews | Kerala | India</a>.]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Investment firm KKR has signed a definitive agreement to acquire a minority stake in <a href="https://in.bookmyshow.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>BookMyShow</strong></a>, with the company planning to use the investment to support its next phase of growth as it expands its live entertainment business and strengthens its full-stack offerings across India.</p>
<p>BookMyShow, launched in 2007, is owned and operated by Bigtree Entertainment Pvt. Ltd., which was founded in 1999. The company has established itself as one of India’s leading entertainment platforms, offering a range of entertainment experiences and operating across global markets.</p>
<p>The platform currently reaches more than 700 towns and cities across India and works with partners across the entertainment industry.</p>
<p>KKR said its investment reflects its confidence in India’s growing entertainment sector and BookMyShow’s ability to capitalize on the country’s expanding demand for live experiences.

<p>“We are delighted to welcome KKR as an investor in BookMyShow. Their global perspective, deep expertise, and strong understanding of consumer businesses will be invaluable as we enter the next phase of our journey,” Hemrajani said.</p>
<p>He added that the timing of the investment was particularly significant as BookMyShow has expanded its presence across the live entertainment landscape and identified growing opportunities within India’s entertainment economy.</p>
<p>Hemrajani also acknowledged the continued support of BookMyShow’s longstanding investors, including Network18, part of Reliance Industries Limited, Accel Partners, Elevation Capital, Stripes Group, and TPG.</p>
<p>Avendus Capital served as BookMyShow’s exclusive financial advisor on the transaction, while Trilegal acted as its legal advisor.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Investor and Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath has invested ₹200 crore in <a href="https://www.ctrls.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>CtrlS</strong></a>, one of India’s largest hyperscale data centre operators. Entrepreneur Sreeram Reddy Vanga has also invested ₹50 crore in the company as CtrlS looks to expand its digital infrastructure footprint across India.</p>
<p>The fresh capital will support CtrlS’s infrastructure expansion and capacity build-out amid rising demand from enterprises and hyperscalers. The company expects demand to remain strong as artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and other digital workloads continue to grow.</p>
<p>Founded by Sridhar Pinnapureddy, CtrlS has built a significant presence in India’s data centre sector through its hyperscale facilities. The company currently operates 19 data centres across nine key markets in India, with more than 370 MW of capacity and 4.4 GW of projects at various stages of execution.</p>
<p>“We are delighted to welcome Nikhil Kamath and Sreeram Reddy Vanga as investors in CtrlS. Over the years, we have built CtrlS with a long-term vision of where India’s digital economy is headed and the digital infrastructure it will require. What excites me about this partnership is the alignment in that long-term vision. It gives us the ability to think bigger, move faster, and continue building datacenter platforms that will support India’s next phase of growth,” said Sridhar Pinnapureddy, founder and chief executive officer, CtrlS Datacenters.</p>
<p>CtrlS serves enterprises, cloud providers, financial institutions, and government organisations. It focuses on maintaining high uptime standards, strengthening security, enhancing operational capabilities, and promoting sustainability.</p>
<p>“Every meaningful technology shift of the next decade, AI, cloud, and digital public infrastructure, runs on data centres. India is at an inflection point where the underlying infrastructure either keeps pace or becomes the bottleneck. CtrlS has spent years building the kind of depth that does not get assembled overnight. That is what made this an easy decision,” said Nikhil Kamath, investor and entrepreneur.</p>
<p>The latest investment follows a major fundraise by CtrlS earlier this year. In June this year, CtrlS had raised ₹7,000 crore from Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments) at a valuation of $4.7 billion.</p>
<p>“India’s AI and cloud ambitions will require world-class digital infrastructure at scale. I am excited to be part of CtrlS’s next phase of growth and the broader digital infrastructure opportunity.</p>
<p>The investments from Kamath and Vanga come as <a href="https://businessreviewlive.com/prysmian-signs-e5-5-bn-molex-deal-to-capitalise-on-ai-data-centre-boom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>data centre</strong> </a>capacity becomes increasingly important to India’s growing digital economy. CtrlS plans to use the additional capital to expand its infrastructure and prepare for increasing requirements from enterprises and hyperscalers.</p>The post <a href="https://businessreviewlive.com/nikhil-kamath-bets-%e2%82%b9200-cr-on-data-centre-firm-ctrls-as-ai-demand-fuels-growth/">Nikhil Kamath bets ₹200-Cr on data centre firm CtrlS as AI demand fuels growth</a> appeared first on <a href="https://businessreviewlive.com">Business Review Live | Business News, Reviews | Entrepreneur Stories, Interviews | Kerala | India</a>.]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.allanaconsumer.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Allana Consumer Products (ACPL)</strong> </a>is preparing to invest Rs 500-600 crore over the next 2-3 years as the company accelerates expansion across pet food, bakery, coffee, and fruits and vegetables while increasing its focus on consumer-facing brands.</p>
<p>The company, which currently generates around Rs 2,300 crore in revenue, is targeting Rs 4,000 crore over the next 2-3 years through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions. Newly appointed Managing Director Manish Bandlish is leading the expansion strategy.</p>
<p>“The agenda for me is to drive all the categories we have in India. Depending on the business model and the business case, I envisage anywhere between Rs 500-600 crore of overall capital investment in the country over the next 2-3 years,” Bandlish told.</p>
<p>A significant portion of the planned investment will go toward new capacity in coffee and bakery. ACPL is considering a Rs 300-400 crore greenfield project for value-added coffee, while another Rs 50-100 crore investment is planned for a bakery.</p>
<p>“We are number two in exports of green coffee from India, but we want to move into value-added products. Freeze-dried coffee is one area we are exploring, and that will require a greenfield investment of Rs 300-400 crore,” Bandlish said.</p>
<p>ACPL currently operates three coffee plants in South India. Its bakery facility near Mumbai has a capacity of 20,000 tonnes and is currently operating at 60-70 percent utilization.</p>
<p><a href="https://businessreviewlive.com/pet-food-startup-zoomies-raises-%e2%82%b95-cr-to-strengthen-manufacturing-and-supply-chain-operations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Pet food</strong></a> is also expected to become an important contributor to the company&#8217;s growth. The segment currently generates around Rs 180 crore, with ACPL aiming to increase this to Rs 250-300 crore in 2-3 years.</p>
<p>“We have one of the largest pet food manufacturing plants in India near Hyderabad. We launched our domestic brands Bowlers and Purrfeto over the last 1.5-2 years, and now we want to take these brands forward with larger, more aspirational product lines,” Bandlish said.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, ACPL is expanding its consumer presence in frozen foods through Home Fresh. The company is reviving the brand in India, with a launch planned by mid-September across frozen food categories, including vegetables and other convenience products.</p>
<p>“Frozen is another category booming in India. The younger generation is very conducive to processed and convenience foods,” Bandlish said.</p>
<p>The company is also evaluating acquisitions in the fruits and vegetables segment. At the same time, ACPL plans to create greater synergies among its pet food, bakery, and coffee businesses through shared research and development and product development capabilities.</p>
<p>ACPL currently generates around one-third of its revenue from India, while two-thirds comes from exports. Over the next 2-3 years, the company aims to increase the domestic contribution to 40 percent before potential additions to capacity push exports higher again.</p>
<p>“We are very strong in sourcing and manufacturing. The next step is becoming more consumer-centric and developing brands that deliver value directly to consumers,” Bandlish said.</p>
<p>The company&#8217;s consumer portfolio is set to expand further in the coming months. Alongside Home Fresh, ACPL plans to introduce value-added coffee products, high-protein ranges, new pet food products, and bakery categories in India over the next 3-6 months.</p>
<p>The planned investments and product launches mark a broader shift in ACPL&#8217;s strategy, combining its existing strengths in sourcing and manufacturing with greater emphasis on domestic consumption and branded products. With a target of Rs 4,000 crore in revenue over the next 2-3 years, the company is positioning its coffee, bakery, pet food, frozen foods, and fruit and vegetable businesses as key pillars of its next phase of growth.</p>The post <a href="https://businessreviewlive.com/allana-consumer-products-eyes-rs-4000-cr-revenue-in-3-years/">Allana Consumer Products eyes Rs 4,000-Cr revenue in 3 years</a> appeared first on <a href="https://businessreviewlive.com">Business Review Live | Business News, Reviews | Entrepreneur Stories, Interviews | Kerala | India</a>.]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Developed India will be created only by promoting trade and business: Arjun Ram Meghwal</p>
<p><strong>New Delhi, 9th August 2026: </strong>A grand National Traders’ Conference and Bhamashah Felicitation Ceremony was organised at the Constitution Club of India, New Delhi, to mark the 45th Foundation Day of the <a href="https://www.buvm.in/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Bharatiya Udyog Vyapar Mandal (BUVM)</strong></a>. The programme was presided over by the organisation’s National President, Shri Babulal Gupta (Rajasthan), and was effectively conducted by National Senior General Secretary Shri Mukund Mishra (Uttar Pradesh).</p>
<p>Around 1,000 trader representatives from 24 states and two Union Territories participated in the conference, demonstrating the unity, organisational strength and national coordination of the trading community.</p>
<p>Union Minister for Law and Justice Shri Arjun Ram Meghwal was the Chief Guest at the event. He said that promoting trade and business is essential to achieving the goal of a developed India. He emphasised that accelerating trade and commerce is necessary to expand the size of the country’s economy. He assured the traders that the government would take necessary steps to address their concerns on issues related to GST, online trade and other matters concerning the business community.</p>
<p>Durg Lok Sabha MP Shri Vijay Baghel, Rajya Sabha MP Smt. Sadhna Singh, former MP and Senior Vice President of the Uttar Pradesh Udyog Vyapar Mandal Shri Bhairav Prasad Mishra, along with several other public representatives and senior trade leaders, were present at the event.</p>
<p>Among the national and state office-bearers and representatives present were Shri Mohan Gurnani and Shri Kishor Bhai Kharawala from Maharashtra; Shri Taraknath Trivedi from West Bengal; Shri Rajpurohit and Shri Anurag Singla from Karnataka; Shri Prakash Mishra from Uttarakhand; Shri Hemant Gupta, Shri Prem Arora and Shri Rakesh Yadav from Delhi; Shri Sujit Roy from Tripura; Shri Prahlad Khandelwal from Odisha; Shri Ashok Modi from Chhattisgarh; Shri Gopal Agarwal and Shri Rajesh Jain from Madhya Pradesh; Shri Raju Apsara from Kerala; Shri Soundarya Rajan from Tamil Nadu; Shri Vijaylaxmi Gupta and Shri Bhanu Ji from Haryana; Shri Ranjan Agarwal and Shri Pyarelal Seth from Punjab; Shri Charanjit Singh and Shri Sanjeev from Chandigarh; and Shri Rajendra Prasad Gupta, Shri Dilip Seth, Shri Sunil Pandey and Shri Ashok Kansal from Uttar Pradesh, among several other senior office-bearers and trader representatives.</p>
<p>The conference called for increasing the target from 500 to 1,000 districts to promote local products, local trade and local tourism and advance the vision of ‘Local for Global’. National President Shri Babulal Gupta said that promoting local production, trade and tourism would strengthen employment and economic activity in districts and help connect traditional skills and crafts from villages with <a href="https://businessreviewlive.com/ai-e-commerce-platform-assiduus-raises-25-mn-targets-global-market-expansion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>global markets.</strong></a></p>
<p>The conference also discussed several key issues, including the need for a clear and effective regulatory framework for online trade; protection of small and traditional traders; addressing the unequal competition arising from e-commerce and mall culture; strengthening MSMEs; promoting the concept of “Investment in the District, for the District”, and establishing trader assistance groups in every district.</p>
<p>Several other major demands concerning the trading community were also discussed, including One Nation–One Mandi Tax, limiting mandi cess to 0.50 per cent, an amnesty scheme for the resolution of GST and old VAT cases, relief from GST on rented shops and houses, reduction in interest on delayed GST payments, and simplification of FSSAI regulations. It was decided that detailed proposals on these issues would be submitted to the Central Government.</p>
<p>Speakers recalled that the late Shri Shyam Bihari Mishra, the founder of the Bharatiya Udyog Vyapar Mandal, who was a four-time Member of Parliament and a prominent leader of the traders’ movement, had initiated the movement for trader unity and protection of traders’ interests nearly 45 years ago. They said that the movement has today evolved into a strong national organisation. All state, district and city-level units of the organisation continue to work towards protecting and strengthening the interests of the trading community in line with the same vision.</p>
<p>National President Shri Babulal Gupta congratulated the various state units of the organisation for successfully conducting traders’ conferences and training programmes across the country. He said that the Bharatiya Udyog Vyapar Mandal has emerged as a strong national voice for the trading community from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.</p>
<p>The National President congratulated and extended his best wishes to the entire Delhi Pradesh team of the Bharatiya Udyog Vyapar Mandal for successfully organising the event. He also expressed special gratitude to the Federation of All India Food Grain Dealers Association for its important support as a partner organisation in the event.</p>
<p>At the conclusion of the programme, National President Shri Babulal Gupta announced that a “Local to Global National Trade Conference” would be organised at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, in January 2027. The conference will aim to provide fresh impetus at the national level to youth entrepreneurship, local trade, local production, local tourism and the “One City–One Product” initiative.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Enterprise AI CRM platform<a href="https://www.superleap.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong> Superleap</strong></a> has raised Rs 36 crore in a pre-Series A funding round led by Peak XV’s Surge. The company will use the fresh capital to expand its enterprise go-to-market operations, strengthen its product and platform capabilities, and accelerate the development of the AI-native CRM category in India.</p>
<p>Superleap is targeting a shift in how enterprises use customer relationship management platforms. While traditional CRMs have largely served as systems of record, the company is building an AI-native architecture designed to support revenue teams and enable deployment within weeks without business disruption.</p>
<p>The startup was founded by Subham Kumar Boundia, Alok Maurya and Saurabh Maheshwari. The founders previously worked at Unacademy during its early years, where they experienced the limitations of legacy CRM systems and eventually developed an in-house platform for sales teams.</p>
<p>The trio later founded Altworld, a Peak XV&#8217;s Surge-backed venture, before returning to enterprise software and the CRM segment.</p>
<p>Superleap has grown 10x over the past year and now serves customers across BFSI, SaaS, education, healthcare, travel and hospitality, and media. Its enterprise customer base includes Razorpay, Aakash Education, MediBuddy, HCL GUVI, Cars24, PagarBook, Plum, Qube Cinema, and Superhealth.</p>
<p>Commenting on the fundraise, Subham Kumar Boundia, Co-founder &amp; CEO, Superleap, said, &#8220;Superleap has a simple ambition: to make companies love their CRM again. As revenue teams increasingly move towards AI-native systems, we believe real AI adoption cannot happen without a change in the core system of record. We are building an agentic operating system that can actively support the entire revenue motion driven by humans &amp; AI agents in tandem, enabled through an in-house Forward Deployed Engineering service model. This fundraise will help us accelerate our product development, expand our enterprise presence, elevate the customer service standards further and advance our mission of reimagining the CRM category for modern revenue teams.”</p>
<p>The company has also highlighted deployments with large enterprises. Razorpay migrated 10M+ data records to Superleap in 45 days without business disruption, while Aakash Education transitioned around 5K counsellors across 400 locations in India in under 60 days. According to Superleap, the Aakash deployment enabled 5X faster change management and reduced sales technology costs by over 50%.</p>
<p>Superleap&#8217;s platform uses a three-layer architecture comprising SuperOS, a unified data platform; SuperSense, a customer-intelligence layer; and SuperAgents, an agentic layer that automates tasks across the revenue cycle.</p>
<p>The platform also offers AI voice bots, conversational intelligence, omnipresent Superleap AI and MCP integrations. These capabilities allow users to interact with their CRM through tools including WhatsApp, Slack, MS Teams, Claude and ChatGPT.</p>
<p>Through Superleap Deploy, the company offers a less than two-month deployment guarantee and zero-disruption migration. Its in-house Forward Deployed Engineers support enterprise rollouts, with the company positioning deployment speed and adoption as key differentiators from legacy CRM platforms.</p>
<p>Customer feedback has also highlighted the platform&#8217;s migration capabilities and AI features. Tejas Gowda, VP, Product, Razorpay, said, “Superleap is a modern CRM that exceeded our expectations. From day one, we had complete platform parity with our previous CRM, along with powerful built-in generative AI capabilities that have meaningfully improved our sales enablement workflows. The AI features have helped our account managers work more efficiently, surface relevant insights faster, and spend more time engaging with customers instead of managing CRM tasks. Overall, Superleap has delivered a fast implementation, a modern and easy-to-use platform, and AI capabilities that have added real value to our sales teams. It&#8217;s been a fantastic experience, and we would strongly recommend it to any organization looking for a next-generation CRM platform.”</p>
<p>Cars24 Group also cited the speed of implementation and AI capabilities. Siddarth Khandelwal, Cars24 Group, said, “Partnering with Superleap has been a genuine step-change for us. What stood out immediately was their speed of execution — they moved fast, understood our requirements, and had a working solution in our hands far quicker than we’re used to. Their AI capabilities have been the real differentiator: intelligent lead prioritization and automation that took a lot of manual guesswork out of the funnel and let our team focus on the conversations that matter. Along the way, they helped us streamline processes that had been clunky for years, and the efficiency gains have been felt across the whole vertical. Superleap has been a proactive, sharp partner.”</p>
<p>Aakash Education&#8217;s CBO’s Office also highlighted its migration experience. Shikhar Singh, CBO’s Office, Aakash Education, said, “Migrating from Salesforce to Superleap in just &lt;45 days was an incredible achievement and a testament to the collaboration between both teams. By bringing lead management, telephony, payments, and reporting onto a single platform, we&#8217;ve created a unified sales ecosystem that simplifies operations and provides better visibility across the customer journey.
