Bollywood Actor Yashpal Sharma Inaugurates PHDCCI’s ‘Expression’ Art Show

Following the astounding success of its debut contemporary Indian art show, PHDCCI organized the 2nd edition of Expression: A Contemporary Indian Art Show”.  The three day event starting from April 30th till May 2nd, 2025 was inaugurated by Shri Yashpal Sharma, a renowned Bollywood actor at PHD House, New Delhi.

Actor Yashpal Sharma in his address congratulated PHDCCI for organizing such a meaningful event to promote artists and their work. He emphasized the importance of working on one’s uniqueness and individual talent. He added, while it is good to be inspired, one must not copy others; only by focusing on personal uniqueness and talent one can truly progress. Everyone has a spark within, and one should never consider oneself inferior.

The Actor further expressed the thought of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” and discussed that the bond of humanity is the greatest of all. He added that while some things may seem insignificant the value lies in time. He cited examples like Charlie Chaplin and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who turned their weaknesses into strengths by listening to their inner voices something many people tend to ignore.

Dr. Sachidanand Joshi, Member Secretary, Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA) congratulated the artists to have brought out their creativity to the world. “Every person is creative in some way, but it is the artists who have the courage to bring their creativity to the outside world”. He also took this opportunity to share his thoughts about the possible threats of AI. Our habits are becoming increasingly AI oriented.

While some paintings take months or even years to create, AI can produce them within minutes. Dr Joshi further emphasized the efforts of artists like Ravi Verma and Nandalal Ghosh, whose work took immense hard work and mental exercise to produce. The real threat he warned is not today but lies ahead, 5 to 20 years from now when everything will move to the cloud it will be difficult to identify original work. This, he said is a serious threat to artists.

He also stressed that it is the responsibility of artists and society to preserve our inherent creativity, talent, intellect, and motivation to create something new. He urged that artistic expression should become the voice and moral conscience of society, and we must all work to make society aware of the future dangers of a digital world.

Anuradha Goel, Chairperson, PHD Family Welfare Foundation, who is at the helm of PHD’s family welfare initiatives, including 25 centers across the country where around 5,000 students are being skilled and also being taught painting and art.  She expressed her hope to see those children growing up to become an artist and presenting their works here one day.  Ms Goel further added that while AI is useful, one should only use it as much as needed and must not become completely dependent on it.

Ms. Sonali Jain, Co-chair, PHDCCI Education Committee, and Vice Chairperson, Sumermal Jain Educational & Welfare Society (Regd.) expressed that literature, music and art hold great importance in a person’s life. She discussed that art is the only form of expression that promotes dialogue without conflict. The empathy and compassion that art brings cannot be brought by a bureaucrat or a politician. She added that art is the most humane way to build a community where people can relate to their culture and ethos by showcasing their work through this medium.

She further explained how PHDCCI has been working for the progress and development of industry for the past 120 years. She expressed hope that through this initiative, PHDCCI would continue to promote the art industry in its true essence and wished for the event to be a sounding success for the artists.

Dr. Ranjeet Mehta, CEO & Secretary General, PHDCCI exclaimed that PHDCCI is delighted to welcome Mr. Yashpal Sharma one of the finest actors of Hindi cinema. He added that the actor’s journey from stage to screen is inspiring and full of motivation especially for artists coming from tier 3 and 4 cities. He emphasized that the contribution of such talented artists will further promote the art community and boost their confidence.

Further he mentioned that PHDCCI which was established in 1905 had recently celebrated its 120th anniversary. He said that the presence of such a legendary artist at the art show would inspire many budding artists. He expressed hope that stalwarts like him would continue to support and motivate such initiatives by PHDCCI in the future as well.

Ms. Preeti Wadhwa Acclaimed Singer & Director, Virva International Pvt. Ltd., said that art is a language and a bond between human beings, behind every piece of art is an artist who is a storyteller. She applauded the initiative by PHDCCI to provide a platform to such artists and expressed that it would encourage them to continue their remarkable work. Lastly she called upon everyone to celebrate this beautiful expression of art

As one of India’s oldest and most respected industry bodies, PHDCCI has been a pillar of support for economic growth, industrial development, and policy advocacy for over 120 years. Now, it has extended its reach beyond commerce, lending its voice and support to the immense artistic and creative talent that lies untapped across the country.

INEOS and Covestro agree landmark 8-Year LNG linked Gas Supply Agreement

INEOS and Covestro have today announced a significant long-term agreement for the supply of natural gas for up to eight years, starting 2027. The agreement builds on INEOS‘ newly established LNG supply chain, and both companies’ commitment to support European industrial competitiveness.

Covestro uses natural gas as a feedstock as well as an energy source. The partnership will enable the supply of natural gas sourced from INEOS’ global LNG portfolio, providing a stable and predictable feedstock and energy stream for Covestro’s European operations. This strategic collaboration addresses the critical need for secure and diversified energy sources in Europe.

David Bucknall CEO, INEOS Energy said: “Our goal is to supply customers with vital energy throughout the energy transition, not just at the end. That means maintaining competitive hydrocarbon supplies as alternatives emerge and grow. This long-term LNG deal with Covestro does exactly that, providing reliable, cost-effective energy to help our industrial partners manage volatility and avoid shortages.”

Thorsten Dreier, Chief Technology Officer of Covestro, added, “Securing a stable, competitive and predictable gas supply is essential for our operations right now. This agreement with INEOS provides us with the long-term security we need to maintain our production and contribute to the European economy. We value INEOS‘ commitment to supporting European industry and their proactive approach to addressing the region’s energy challenges. This contract is an important building block for us as a company in the energy intensive industry to transition towards an affordable renewable energy supply.”

This agreement reinforces the shared goal of both companies to maintain a strong and competitive industrial base in Europe. By ensuring a reliable gas supplyINEOS and Covestro are taking real, tangible steps to secure the future of their European manufacturing assets.

INEOS first entered the LNG sector in June 2022, signing a 20-year agreement with US-based Sempra Infrastructure to supply 1.4 million tonnes of LNG annually from the US Gulf Coast.

Greener, Smarter, Safer: Unlocking Cyber Security Through Sustainable IT

Caring for the earth has always been a grave concern for both organisations and indviduals alike. With a plethorar of issues to be concerned about, in today’s digital landscape, organizations also face the dual challenge of maintaining robust cyber security measures while also reducing their environmental impact to manage risks and realize opportunities. This issue is especially critical for India, which has emerged as a prime target for cyberattacks. According to Check Point’s Threat Intelligence Report, Indian organizations faced an average of 3,278 cyberattacks per week over the past six months, significantly higher than the global average of 1,878.

Each one of these incidents not only threatens sensitive data and business continuity but also adds to the nation’s energy burden. Investing in sustainable, preventive cybersecurity is no longer optional but essential for both resilience and resource efficiency.

In recognition of Earth Day 2025, we’d like to discuss why the convergence of these two priorities is particularly relevant, giving rise to Green IT security practices that can help organizations accomplish both goals simultaneously. By implementing energy-efficient security systems, companies can strengthen their defenses while contributing to sustainability efforts and reducing operational costs – a win-win for the bottom line and the planet!

The Energy-Security Connection

When companies design their IT security systems with energy efficiency in mind, they create a more sustainable digital infrastructure without compromising protection. A key performance indicator in this approach is the energy consumption per gigabit (Gbit) of data throughput in next-generation security gateways. By optimizing for this metric, organizations can reduce their environmental footprint while maintaining effective security controls.

Check Point‘s latest ESG Report provides concrete examples of this approach in action. Our Check Point Quantum Force 29200 security gateway demonstrates a remarkable 73% decrease in Power Consumption (Watts) per Throughput (Gbps) compared to the previous Quantum 28000 model. Impressively, this reduction comes alongside a 112% improvement in Threat Prevention capabilities. Similar advancements are evident in another product line, where the Quantum Force 9800 security gateway delivers a 61% reduction in Power Consumption (Watts) per Throughput (Gbps) compared to the Quantum 7000, while achieving a 111% improvement in Threat Prevention. These innovations illustrate how next-generation security technologies can simultaneously enhance protection and energy efficiency.

Prevention: The Green Approach to Cyber Security

Proactive defense against cyberattacks doesn’t just protect data—it prevents unnecessary energy consumption. When organizations fall victim to attacks like ransomware or cryptominers, recovery often involves energy-intensive processes such as restoring backups or rebooting entire systems. These procedures consume significant energy that could have been saved through preventive measures.

Consider cryptomining malware, which remains a persistent threat despite its peak in 2018 when it affected 40% of analyzed organizations.

Even recently, malware such as XMRig has been detected targeting gaming engines. The collective energy consumption of cryptomining is estimated at a staggering 125-terawatt hours annually—highlighting how effective prevention directly translates to energy savings.

AI Systems: New Threats, New Energy Concerns

Data poisoning in AI systems represents another emerging concern. These attacks compromise machine learning models, often requiring complete retraining to remediate—an extremely energy-intensive process. As organizations increasingly rely on AI-powered tools for decision-making, protecting these systems also means avoiding redundant and costly training cycles that consume substantial computational resources.

Architecture Choices for Energy Efficiency

Network architecture decisions significantly impact both security and energy consumption. Hybrid network models, such as mesh networks within SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) environments, can reduce energy use by decreasing the number of hops data must take. Instead of routing all traffic through cloud services, these approaches ensure fewer energy-consuming systems are involved in transmission.

In data centers, scale-out security gateway designs enhance energy efficiency by providing high availability without relying on traditional active-passive configurations that often waste resources.

The Combined Benefit

By integrating Green IT principles into cyber security strategies, organizations create infrastructure that is both secure and sustainable. Making strategic choices in architecture, proactively defending against attacks, and considering the energy implications of security operations allows companies to protect both their business interests and environmental resources.

Kamya Panjabi on Akshay Tritiya: New Beginnings Aren’t Date-Bound

Akshay Tritiya is considered an auspicious day in Hindu culture, known for bringing good luck, prosperity, and success. It’s a time when people buy gold, start new ventures, or engage in spiritual practices. Kamya Panjabi, who plays the character of Mohini in Sun Neo‘s show Ishq Jabariya, shares her take on this special day.
 
 
Kamya shares a powerful message on embracing new beginnings with courage and a clear heart, “Akshay Tritiya is often considered one of the most auspicious days to begin something new whether it’s buying something special, taking a big leap, or making a life decision. While I personally dont limit new beginnings to a particular date or muhurat, I deeply respect those who find strength and positivity in such traditions. I believe that every day is a good day if your intentions are pure and your heart is ready. What’s truly important is to not postpone your dreams out of fear or hesitation. Taking the first step no matter how small holds immense power. A fresh start doesn’t need a perfect day; it needs your courage and belief in yourself.”
 
The Ishq Jabariya actress further adds, “I believe in taking bold steps. Whenever the heart feels like doing something new whether it’s chasing a passion, starting a new project, or buying something meaningful we should just go for it. Life moves fast, and waiting for the “right moment” often becomes an excuse. What matters more is the intent and the action, not the date on the calendar. So to everyone who celebrates, may this Akshay Tritiya bring courage, abundance, and fresh beginnings. And to those who dont follow the tradition still take this moment as a gentle nudge to start something you’ve been holding back. After all, the best time to begin is always now.”
Kamya currently plays the role of Mohini in Sun Neo‘s Ishq Jabariya, airing on at 10:00 PM. The show is a compelling love story that follows Gulki, a strong-willed young woman with big dreams.
