With a legacy spanning over 25 years, KAFF has mastered the art of blending innovation, style, and performance — making them a trusted name in India’s kitchen appliances sector. And when you would want to witness the best of KAFF’s engineering, nothing makes a statement quite like KAFF’s Series Nordic of premium built-in gas hobs. The series gas hobs are the perfect embodiment of this legacy, offering both luxury and functionality in one sophisticated package.

Designed to turn heads, KAFF’s Series Nordic gas hobs bring a new level of elegance to any kitchen. With full brass burners, these hobs ensure uniform heat distribution, making every meal you cook a masterpiece. The frosted rock glass and crystal black glass finishes not only offer sleek, modern aesthetics but are also incredibly practical. These surfaces are easy to clean, ensuring your kitchen maintains its pristine charm after every use. And let’s not forget the added durability that comes from the stainless steel molded strip, which not only protects the front edge but enhances the overall premium feel of the hob.

Cooking should be a joy, not a stress, and KAFF has taken safety to heart with the Series Nordic. Every hob in this range is equipped with a Flame Failure Device (FFD) that automatically cuts off the gas supply if the flame is accidentally extinguished. This feature offers peace of mind for those with busy households or for anyone who values safety in their kitchen. Adding to the security, the heavy-duty cast iron pan supports provide rock-solid stability for even the largest cookware. These supports come with an integrated flame protector, giving you an added layer of protection against accidental flare-ups.

When it comes to control, the Nordic Series does not disappoint. The dual-colour metal knobs are not just a design choice — they offer precise control, allowing you to adjust the flame effortlessly to suit whatever you’re cooking. KAFF has also eliminated the need for lighters or matches by integrating electric ignition. With just a simple turn of the knob, you can ignite your burner instantly, making the entire cooking process smoother and more convenient.

No two kitchens are the same, and KAFF understands that. That’s why the Series Nordic comes in two sizes to cater to different kitchen layouts. The dimensions of the Series Nordic hobs are meticulously designed to fit seamlessly into your kitchen, offering a sleek built-in look. With models like MARMOR and CRYSTAL NOIR, available in two sizes each, you have the flexibility to choose the best fit for your space while ensuring that every feature is optimized for ease of use and performance.

Delhi, September 19, 2024: As per a study by AlgoTest, an algorithmic options trading platform, an average 4.5 out of every 10 traders on the platform were profitable during the fiscal year 2023-24, compared to the industry average of about one in 10.

The preliminary data for the current fiscal year shows that 46.19% traders were profitable for Q1 of this fiscal year – April – June.

“This success can be attributed to our traders following a systematic process. It is important to backtest and forward-test your trading idea to have an edge in trading in any market,” said Raghav Malik, Founder, AlgoTest. “AlgoTest is committed to empowering retail traders by providing them with a systematic trading process that includes backtesting, forward testing, and only then trading in the live market. This disciplined approach has proven to significantly improve traders’ success rates.” He added.

AlgoTest has over 10,000 users of the platform of which option sellers constituted around 70 percent while the rest were option buyers. Option sellers are those that receive premium while option buyers pay premium for taking a position. The study also highlighted that most traders on AlgoTest are trading intra-day, which means they go home with zero overnight risk.

By far, the most popular strategy on the platform was the intra-day 920 straddle strategy and its variations. It is a delta neutral strategy that tries to capitalize on initial market volatility, but can change its view and follow the trend if the market makes a strong intra-day trend in either direction. A simple variation involves selling both a call option and a put option of the same strike price simultaneously at 9.20 am.

Overall among the 10,000 traders on AlgoTest, more than half are from Maharashtra, NCR region, Gujarat and Karnataka.

Operating on a credit-based pricing system, AlgoTest offers new users 25 free backtests per week and provides unlimited backtest plans at a fraction of the cost of competitors, making it highly accessible for retail traders.

Outlining his journey, Malik said, “When we started, we were only a backtesting platform. Now, the platform has evolved into a full-fledged systematic trading platform. We have backtesting, forward testing as well as live trading as part of the algo trading offerings.”

Along with algo trading, AlgoTest also provides backtesting and trading of manual strategies using their strategy builder and options simulator. It is compatible with most top brokers and one can complete their entire trade without having to leave the AlgoTest platform.

Mumbai, 19 September 2024: New research from Colliers has found that the Asia Pacific region was home to four of the top ten global cross-border capital sources in the first half of 2024 – Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan and China. When it came to global capital, targeting standing assets, Japan and China were in the top five destinations globally with Australia too representing the APAC region within the top ten list, according to Colliers’ Global Capital Flows Report | H1 2024.

India notably features prominently at the third place in the list of Global cross-border capital destinations for land/development sites in the report.

The office sector was the most sought after in terms of investment activity in APAC in the first half of 2024, followed by industrial sector. In India too, investments in industrial & warehousing and office assets remained strong in the first half of the year. Investments in Industrial assets especially, were 5X times, compared to same period last year. Amidst rising demand for superior quality Grade A assets and evolving supply-chain models, global investor confidence in the sector is improving significantly.

“Foreign investment in India’s industrial & warehousing sector has been gaining significant traction in recent times. In H1 2024, nearly 70% of the total foreign inflows in India’s real estate sector were directed towards industrial & warehousing assets. Investor affinity is being driven by rising demand from 3PL & E-commerce players and strengthening of manufacturing capabilities across key industrial corridors of the country. In fact, the growing appeal of India as a key destination for industrial investments reinforces long-term confidence in the sector,” said Piyush Gupta, Managing Director, Capital Markets & Investment Services at Colliers India

With USD 3.5 billion of inflows in H1 2024, institutional investor interest in Indian real estate has remained firm. While 70% of investments during H1 2024 were focused on ready assets, India’s fast-paced growth and infrastructure development will continue to offer numerous opportunities in developmental assets over the coming years.

“Backed by robust domestic demand, healthy GDP growth and likely easing of monetary policy in the next few quarters, investments in Indian real estate sector will remain steady. Evident from a 73% share during H1 2024, foreign inflows will continue to dominate institutional investments in the near-term. Although North America and EMEA will lead the foreign inflow of funds, we can witness increasing traction from investors in the wider APAC region,” said Vimal Nadar, Senior Director and Head of Research, Colliers India.

“APAC is a powerhouse of economic activity, offering diverse investment opportunities across traditional sectors such as residential, commercial and industrial & logistics as well as growing specialized sectors like data centers and cold storage. Improving fundamentals are set to create new investment opportunities in the months ahead, with global rate cuts signaling positivity for real estate markets.” said Chris Pilgrim, Colliers’ Managing Director of Global Capital Markets, Asia Pacific.
