This International Yoga Day, Come Home to Yourself at Swastik’s Transformational Yoga Retreat
20th June 2025 – In a world of constant motion, this yoga day, Swastik Wellbeing Sanctuary echoes the call to pause, breathe, and reconnect. Nestled in the serene embrace of Pune’s Peacock Valley, Swastik announces a soul-nourishing 4-day yoga programme, From Asanas to Awareness – Yoga Comes Alive at Swastik. Honouring the International Yoga Day, this immersive experience from June 20 to 23, 2025, blends ancient yogic wisdom with modern practices to align body, mind, and spirit.
Led by expert yoga teachers and holistic therapists, the programme is thoughtfully designed to guide seekers through dedicated daily themes: Ground and Begin, Flow and Expand, Restore and Reflect. The four-day programme will include special sessions like Ariel Yoga, 108 Surya Namaskars, Yoga Nidra, and a talk on Yoga for Holistic Health. From Hatha Yoga, Aqua Yoga, and Breathwork to Resonance Therapy, Pranic Energisation, and Sonorium Meditations, each experience is designed to deepen seekers presence and elevate awareness.
At the core of the experience stands Dhyan Vihar-the calming dome and inner refuge of Swastik-where quiet meets purpose. Ringed by Nakshatra Van, a star-sign garden, it creates a vibrant, charged space for honest self-reflection and meshes body and mind with nature’s natural beat.
This one-of-a-kind yoga celebration is more than just a physical practice. It’s an invitation to soften, stretch, and surrender. To rise not just in posture but in presence. With a conscious blend of community, stillness, and connection, seekers will leave feeling balanced, replenished, and aligned with their inner rhythm.
Pristyn Care’s Triple Launch Catapults Network to Eight Hospitals, Marks Entry into South India
New Delhi, 20th June 2025 — With a vision to fix India’s fragmented patient journey, Pristyn Care is redefining what healthcare should feel like—personal, dignified, and seamless. Today, the company surges beyond its Delhi roots, unveiling three new hospitals in Gurgaon, Hyderabad, and Kochi simultaneously.
This expansion lifts Pristyn Care’s hospital network to eight facilities—just four months after the launch of its first own hospital. The combined clinical estate now spans 200,000 sq ft and houses 400 beds, 20+ modular operating theatres, and more than 50 ICU bays, backed by 550+ doctors, nurses, and allied professionals.
Pristyn Care has already engineered a unified digital backbone—electronic medical records, real-time protocol alerts, seamless insurance rails, one-tap cashless approvals, express-discharge tooling, and 45-minute automated labs. Integration teams are now mapping each new hospital’s existing systems to this platform so that, over the coming months, they will evolve into fully fledged smart facilities where clinicians spend less time on logistics and more time at the bedside.
Dr Vaibhav Kapoor, Co-founder at Pristyn Care, said, “We’re not starting from scratch; the technology is built and live. Our next task is to weave it into every new hospital so patients experience shorter waits, clearer communication, and truly joined-up care.”
Dr Garima Sawhney, Co-founder Co-founder at Pristyn Care, “Whether in a Tier-I metro or a Tier-II city, patients can count on the same promise—minimally invasive treatments and a digitally integrated journey that prioritises healing.”
City-Specific Highlights:
Gurgaon: Strengthens neonatal and women’s health capabilities across NCR. With this launch, Pristyn Care now operates six hospitals across the NCR region.
Hyderabad: Introduces computer-navigated joint replacements and 24×7 trauma care
Kochi: Offers advanced emergency medicine and a riverside rehab wing, eliminating the need for Kerala-based patients to travel to metro cities
These three new hospitals together add approximately 90,000 sq ft of space
The company’s first Delhi hospital reached double-digit profitability within eight weeks, a feat rare in an industry where breakeven typically takes 12–24 months. Net Promoter Scores have climbed by 10 points, underscoring patient appreciation for Pristyn Care’s tech-enabled approach.
These milestones fuel a broader mission: bringing high-quality secondary care deeper into Tier-II and Tier-III towns. On the strength of early results, Pristyn Care remains on track to operate 50 hospitals by FY 2028, with the next wave headed to Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Pune.
Swamiraj Becomes ‘House of Swamiraj’, Announces INR 210 Cr Expansion
Swamiraj Constructions Rebrands as ‘House of Swamiraj’, Announces Rs 210 Cr Projects in Thane and Ambernath
Mumbai, 20th June 2025: In a defining moment that marks its evolution from a reputed builder to a future-focused lifestyle brand, Swamiraj Constructions has officially announced its rebranding as House of Swamiraj. With a legacy spanning two decades and over 1,700 satisfied homeowners across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), the company is now stepping into a new era that fuses its time-tested values with a progressive approach to community-led, wellness-driven living.
The rebranding was officially launched through a digital campaign titled #BeyondDimensions. Rolled out in three phases: teaser, engagement, and launch, the campaign highlighted the company’s renewed focus on designing homes that are not only functional but also emotionally connected to the people who live in them.
At the heart of the rebranding lies a transformative vision: to go beyond the developer role and become a curator of experiences that foster belonging legacy, and lifestyle enrichment. The shift from “Swamiraj Constructions” to “House of Swamiraj” signifies more than a name change. It reflects a strategic repositioning that puts emotional intelligence, sustainable living, and design innovation at the core of every project.
“Changing our name to House of Swamiraj is not just about a new look. It’s about staying true to who we are while preparing for what’s next. For over 18 years, families have trusted us to build their homes, and that trust is the foundation we are building on. With this new chapter, we are focusing even more on thoughtful design, stronger communities, and meaningful living. The name may be new, but our purpose remains the same, and that is to create homes that truly improve lives,” said Jason Samuel, Director, House of Swamiraj.
To mark this remarkable transformation, House of Swamiraj is set to launch three significant residential developments. Two of these developments are located off Pokhran Road No. 1, Thane (West) — one being a thoughtfully designed affordable 2BHK lifestyle community, and the other offering a mix of 1BHK and 2BHK residences, with a combined investment of ₹160 crore.
The third is a premium residential tower in Ambernath (West), with a project value of ₹50 crore, aimed at redefining modern living in emerging locations.
Alongside these, a new development is planned in Vartak Nagar, Thane, aligning with the brand’s ambitious goal to achieve a turnover of Rs 2,000 crore while maintaining its commitment to affordability, innovation, and community-centric growth.
With its new identity, House of Swamiraj aims to transcend conventional construction by building homes that resonate emotionally and function intuitively. The long-term vision includes expanding into emerging urban hubs across Maharashtra, delivering over 12,000 homes, and achieving a sales milestone of Rs 10,000 crore. The brand aspires to establish itself among Maharashtra’s top five lifestyle-centric developers, championing future-ready living with wellness amenities, sustainability, and smart home innovations embedded into every project.
As House of Swamiraj ushers in this new chapter, it promises not just spaces to live in but places to thrive, reaffirming its belief that a house is not just built with walls but with purpose, emotion, and vision.
Fashion’s Second Act: Why Sustainability is the Industry’s Boldest Trend Yet
By – Eshanvi Grover, Student-designer and sustainability enthusiast from New Delhi.
The Fabric of ChangeBehind the sparkle of runways and red carpets lies a shadow few talk about — over 92 million tonnes of clothing waste dumped annually, and up to 45 billion garments produced each year, many of which never find a wearer. The question isn’t whether fashion is broken — it’s whether we’re brave enough to fix it.
As a teen designer, I’ve chosen to stitch my creativity into a new narrative: one where style and sustainability walk the runway together.
Fast Fashion’s Fallout: The Truth in Your ClosetWe live in a world where clothes are cheaper, trends move faster, and the cycle of buy-wear-dispose feels endless. But that ‘₹499 top’ often hides the real cost: polluted rivers, underpaid workers, and overflowing landfills.
If fashion is supposed to reflect culture, why are we okay with waste?
Reworking the Rules: Style That EvolvesMy journey began when I looked at my own closet — clothes worn twice, trends I no longer liked, and a pile of “nothing to wear.”
That’s when I discovered upcycling. A satin dress became a hybrid kurti. A mesh top turned into two beanies. Slowly, fashion felt less like consumption and more like creation.
Today, my designs focus on:
Multi-use garments — Outfits that morph from dress to top to wrap.
Breathable, eco-friendly fabrics — Like hemp and upcycled cotton.
Timeless silhouettes — Because sustainability is the opposite of fast.
Teens & Moms: The Overlooked AudienceFrom school runs to sleepovers, our lives move fast. But most clothes aren’t built for flexibility. Sustainable fashion fills that gap — with clothes that are comfortable, durable, and adaptable.
Imagine: one outfit that serves three occasions, made of skin-friendly fabric, and designed to last years, not months.
5 Tips to Start Your Sustainable Wardrobe
- Repeat is chic — Rewear your favorites. Restyling is the new cool.
- Swap parties > shopping hauls — Host monthly exchanges with friends.
- Label check — Look for natural or recycled fabrics before buying.
- Tailor, don’t toss — A small stitch can save a garment.
- Support small, ethical brands — They often produce with purpose.
Why This Isn’t Just a Teen TrendFrom Paris to Delhi, the future of fashion is circular. Major fashion houses now explore zero-waste design. Schools teach sustainability as a core course, not an afterthought.
This isn’t a phase. It’s a movement — and Gen Z is leading it.
My Mission: Less Waste, More WowMy goal is to launch a line of transformable clothing — fashion that moves with you, fits different body types, and lives longer than one season.
Because the best kind of fashion doesn’t just look good — it does good.
