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.

priston care

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

SWAMIRAJ

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

DESINGER

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.

Increase Industry and manufacturing contribution to GDP our top priority: Hemant Sharma

Bhubaneswar: The 2nd Edition of the Odisha Manufacturing Conclave 2025, organized by the ASSOCHAM Odisha State Council, successfully commenced today at a city hotel. This year’s conclave, themed “AI-Driven Manufacturing: Innovation, Efficiency, and Sustainable Growth,” brought together industry leaders, policymakers, technology pioneers, and academia to discuss Odisha’s roadmap for becoming a future-ready manufacturing hub.

UNICODE

Additional Chief Secretary, Industry, Govt of Odisha, Shri Hemant Sharma highlighted that Manufacturing currently contributes 36% to Odisha’s Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP), while the combined contribution of industry and manufacturing stands at 53%. He emphasized that there is significant potential to further enhance this share, and this remains a top priority for the state government. “Our policies have been strategically designed to drive this growth, and we are witnessing a rapid inflow of investments. Many investment proposals have not only been received but have also been successfully grounded,” he said.

Reflecting on Odisha’s industrial transformation over the past few decades, Sharma noted the role of technological advancements in optimizing resource use. “For instance, the land required for establishing aluminium plants with double the production capacity has now been reduced to almost half, thanks to improved technology,” he explained. He further added that the state government is actively supporting industries with a steady supply of skilled manpower and comprehensive infrastructure to help them flourish.

Shri Hemant Sharma, IAS, Additional Chief Secretary, Industries & MSME Dept, Govt of Odisha unveiled ASSOCHAM study paper in partnership with Primus Partners

The event commenced with a Welcome Address by Mr. Pankaj Lochan Mohanty, Chairman, Odisha State Development Council, ASSOCHAM, who lauded the Government’s visionary approach and called for stronger collaboration between the government, industry, and academia to enable smart and sustainable manufacturing in Odisha.

AI is no longer an emerging trend; it is now a defining catalyst of modern manufacturing. Odisha must now transition from being resource-rich to becoming data-rich and digitally intelligent,” said Mr. Mohanty.

The conclave also witnessed the release of the ASSOCHAM-Primus Knowledge Report, providing critical insights on AI adoption and manufacturing best practices.

Mr. Andrew Fleming, British Deputy High Commissioner to East and North East India remarked, “India and the UK share a rich history of industrialisation and innovation. We now stand at the cusp of a new era, shaped by digital transformation, green technologies, resilient supply chains and the rising importance of critical minerals. With Odisha aspiring to become a major manufacturing hub, it naturally aligns as a strategic partner for the UK. Together, we can drive industrial innovation while upholding the principles of sustainability. Today, the UK is at the forefront of smart factory automation, advanced industrial engineering, and sustainable supply chain practices all underpinned by the latest advances in AI”.

Two key plenary sessions held.

MGM Healthcare Performs Rare Skull Base Surgery on 1-Year-Old

Chennai, 19th June, 2025: MGM Healthcare successfully performed a Transnasal Endoscopic Repair of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Leak from a herniated brain inside nose with Skull Base Defect Reconstruction on a one-year-old child from Odisha. , marking a rare and complex intervention in pediatric endoscopic skull base surgery. This surgery was done using duragen, a collagen-based biomaterial, instead of a traditional autograft. The surgery was uneventful, the patient was discharged 48 hours post-surgery.

Mgm hospita

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage occurs when there is a defect or tear in the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, allowing the clear, cushioning fluid to escape from its normal pathways. When such a leak occurs at the skull base, it can lead to nasal discharge, recurrent infections, and breathing difficulties.The presence of congenital meningomyocele inside the nasal cavity proved to be the biggest surgical challenge . The condition is extremely rare, occurring in approximately 1 in 10,000 cases.

In this case, the child had been experiencing multiple episodes of brain fever, persistent CSF leakage and complete nasal blockage for nearly six months, due to a congenital skull base defect. This is a rare condition where the base of the skull does not fully develop during the growth period. If left untreated may lead to life-threatening complications due to the exposure of prolapsed meninges herniating into the nasal cavities from above. It was left undiagnosed and untreated till the pertinent investigations clinched the diagnosis. In the earlier visits to the hospitals, the baby was treated conservatively in the hope that mouth breathing would abate as the age progresses.Finally , a proper evaluation led to the diagnosis of this clinical entity.

The intra operative innovation using collagen based artificial dura eliminated the requirement for a secondary surgical site, thereby reducing surgical invasiveness, an important consideration in pediatric surgical care. In such an underweight child, especially , during the growth phase , it’s important to preserve the existing anatomy to the extent possible.

Prof. Dr. Sanjeev Mohanty, Senior Consultant and Head of the Department, Institute of ENT, MGM Healthcare said, “Navigating through a narrow transnasal route in a one-year-old child with such a high-risk skull base defect is always a surgical challenge. This case reinforces the importance of early diagnosis and timely intervention. Open surgical approaches in such cases can be highly morbid. However, by employing the endoscopic technique along with advanced biomaterials, we were able to minimize scarring, ensure faster recovery, and reduce the overall surgical burden on the child.”

Using advanced high-definition endoscopic imaging technology, Dr. Mohanty and his team successfully navigated the infant’s extremely narrow nasal passage to locate and repair the skull base defect with high precision.

This case also underscores the value of cadaveric dissection-based training and continual upskilling in endoscopic skull base approaches, which enhance surgical precision and enable safer, more effective treatment of rare and complex cases like this one.

Narayana Health Doctors Reattach Severed Foot in Rare Surgery

Bengaluru, 19th June, 2025: In a rare and complex surgical feat, doctors at Narayana Health City, Bengaluru, have successfully reattached the foot of a 23-year-old woman, Pavithra, following a devastating road traffic accident (RTA) that resulted in a traumatic foot-level amputation.

The incident occurred on May 14th, when Pavithra was riding pillion with a family member on a two-wheeler and was involved in a collision that led to the complete severing of her foot. Demonstrating remarkable presence of mind, her family quickly retrieved and preserved the amputated limb in a clean, cool condition and rushed her to Narayana Health City within the critical golden window of six hours.

What followed was an intricate, high-stakes surgical procedure led by Dr. Ravi D R, Consultant Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, supported by a specialised trauma and microsurgical team. The surgery, which lasted several hours, involved meticulous repair of crushed bone, arteries, veins, nerves, and tendons to restore the limb’s viability.

“Foot re-implantation surgeries are extremely rare, especially in cases involving severe crush injuries,” said Dr. Ravi. “Most such injuries are considered unfit for reattachment. However, quick-thinking action by the patient’s family, combined with our team’s preparedness, surgical precision, coordinated care, and overall medical excellence, made this extraordinary outcome possible.”

This case is medically significant not only due to the complexity and rarity of foot re-implantation but also because it demonstrates the level of coordinated trauma care that is available in select advanced centres. To the team’s knowledge, this is the first such successful foot re-implantation performed at their unit since 2018.

Pavithra is currently recovering well under close observation, with early signs of success and the initiation of physiotherapy for rehabilitation. Her case underscores the importance of public awareness in post-amputation first aid—prompt transport, proper preservation of the limb, and immediate medical intervention, which can make the difference between permanent disability and functional recovery.
