New Delhi, 13th March 2025: ENTOD Pharmaceuticals, in collaboration with the Matanand Welfare Foundation, successfully concluded the National Hearing Week 2025, held from March 3rd to March 9th, under the theme “Hear Their World: Early Detection, Early Action.” The week-long initiative focused on children, with the aim to raise awareness about congenital hearing loss and highlight the need for early detection and preventive care. By reaching 3 crores people across India, the campaign helped improve awareness and access to pediatric hearing healthcare.

The initiative gained strong momentum both online and offline, engaging thousands across the country and bringing together healthcare professionals, influencers, and volunteers. More than 1200 free hearing screening camps were conducted in clinics, hospitals, and community centers, ensuring early diagnosis opportunities for children. The campaign’s social media efforts also had a significant impact, with #HarBacchaSunega trending at number two on X (formerly Twitter) and reaching millions nationwide on the other hand social media campaign reached to 25 Million people.

To amplify the message further, a national radio awareness campaign aired on 92.7 BIG FM in Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Lucknow, and Bangalore.1200 + physical camps, 20+ walkathons and rallies, along with ENT specialists at clinics, hospitals, 5 Street skits, and community centers were organized across INDIA. Over 100+ awareness videos featuring top ENT specialists were shared on social media, while more than 20 school awareness camps educated parents and children about hearing health. Additionally, five major walkathons and rallies brought communities together in support of the cause.

Additionally, funds raised through Matanand.org and ENTOD’s CSR initiatives will support cochlear implant surgeries for children from underprivileged backgrounds, ensuring they have access to critical treatment and a better quality of life.

The campaign’s impact was strengthened by the participation of over 105 ENT specialists and 100 social media influencers, who helped emphasize the importance of early intervention for congenital hearing loss. Awareness camps were also conducted for healthcare workers, ASHA, and Anganwadi members to help them identify hearing disabilities in children at the community level.

Mr. Nikkhil K Masurkar, CEO of ENTOD Pharmaceuticals, shared the vision behind the initiative, saying, “National Hearing Week 2025 has been a significant milestone in raising awareness about congenital hearing loss. Through 1200+ free hearing camps, a nationwide radio campaign, and a dynamic social media movement, we have reached millions across India—but this is just the beginning. Our mission is to ensure that every child, regardless of background, has the opportunity to hear, speak, and thrive. The funds raised will support cochlear implants for underprivileged children, strengthening our commitment to making hearing care accessible to all.”

Dr. Sanjeev Pethe, M.S. ENT, stressed the importance of early diagnosis, saying, “Congenital hearing loss is more common than people think, yet many cases go unnoticed until it’s too late. Without early intervention, children struggle with speech, education, and social interactions. National Hearing Week 2025 is a crucial step in spreading awareness and inspiring action. This initiative is a reminder for parents, teachers, and healthcare professionals to make hearing screenings a priority so that no child is denied the ability to hear and communicate.”

Although National Hearing Week 2025 has concluded, ENTOD Pharmaceuticals remains committed to making hearing healthcare accessible for all children. The success of this campaign marks the beginning of sustained efforts to educate communities, provide screenings, and support children with hearing disabilities across India.

The city of Bengaluru has a development potential of 28.5mn sq ft to service any additional demand. This translates to around four times the annual transaction volumes in 2024.

Industry wise, other manufacturing (excluding FMCG and FMCD) emerged as the leading sector in Bengaluru’s warehousing market, accounting for 41% of total leasing activity, up from 32% in 2023. This trend underscores the increasing significance of industrial occupiers in the region. Meanwhile, retail and e-commerce sectors experienced notable growth, with their leasing share rising from 12% to 16% and 3% to 11%, respectively. The expansion of e-commerce reinforces Bengaluru’s position as a technology and consumption hub, driving higher demand for last-mile fulfilment centres. Additionally, the FMCG sector expanded its presence, growing from 3% in 2023 to 7% in 2024.

INDUSTRY SPLIT OF TRANSACTION VOLUME

• Warehousing transactions data includes light manufacturing/assembling.
• Other Manufacturing – These include all manufacturing sectors (automobile, electronics, pharmaceutical, etc.) except FMCG and FMCD.
• Miscellaneous – These include services such as telecom, real estate, document management, agricultural warehousing and publishing.

The Nelamangala-Dabaspete cluster has emerged as Bengaluru’s preferred warehousing hub, marking a significant shift in cluster-wise leasing. Major tenants such as Bosch, Shoppers Stop, and ABB have played a key role in driving this growth. In 2024, the region accounted for 52% of total leased space, a sharp increase from 21% in 2023, with the Nelamangala market contributing to over half of the transactions. This surge is largely attributed to the cluster’s strategic connectivity via National Highway 48, facilitating access to key consumption centers across southern and western India.

Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director, of Knight Frank India said, “Bengaluru’s warehousing market continues to expand, driven by rising leasing activity, manufacturing sector growth, and increasing demand from e-commerce and retail players. Strengthened by improved infrastructure, supportive policies, and sustained occupier interest, the market is set for long-term growth. As warehousing needs evolve, Bengaluru is expected to reinforce its position as a leading logistics hub in Southern India”.

March 13,2025:As cyber threats evolve at an unprecedented pace, organizations find themselves entangled in a web of fragmented security solutions, each promising protection but collectively creating chaos. From endpoint security and cloud protection to identity access management and compliance tools, the sheer complexity of managing multiple platforms often leaves security teams overwhelmed and vulnerable.

This disjointed approach not only increases operational inefficiencies but also widens security gaps – offering adversaries an opportunity to exploit weaknesses. A unified platform can bridge these security silos, transforming risk management from a reactive burden into a proactive, intelligent defense mechanism that simplifies operations, enhances threat response, and fortifies an organization’s cybersecurity posture.

The Complexity Conundrum

Traditional cybersecurity strategies rely on disparate security solutions, forcing security teams to juggle multiple dashboards, policies, and alerts. This siloed approach creates blind spots, delays incident response, and increases the risk of misconfiguration – often the weakest link in cybersecurity defenses.

The Shift to Centralized Risk Management

A centralized risk management platform consolidates security functions into a single pane of glass, providing real-time visibility, streamlined workflows, and automated threat intelligence. By integrating risk assessment, compliance tracking, and threat detection into one ecosystem, organizations can proactively manage vulnerabilities before they escalate into breaches.

The Benefits: Efficiency, Accuracy, and Compliance

As cyber threats grow in sophistication, businesses must transition from reactive defense to proactive risk mitigation. A centralized security platform isn’t just a convenience – it’s a necessity for organizations looking to simplify security operations while fortifying their cyber resilience.

By embracing centralized cybersecurity risk management like ESET Protect Platform, enterprises can reduce complexity, cut costs, and ensure a more resilient security posture in an era of relentless cyber threats.

• Holistic Visibility – Security teams can correlate data across endpoints, cloud environments, and networks, reducing the time to detect and respond to threats.
• Automation and AI-Driven Insights – Leveraging AI and machine learning, centralized platforms can identify anomalies, prioritize risks, and automate remediation, reducing human error.
• Regulatory Compliance – Organizations can maintain compliance with industry standards (e.g., GDPR, NIST, ISO 27001) by aligning security policies across the enterprise in a structured manner.

ESET PROTECT Platform: A Paradigm of Centralized Cyber Risk Management

In the quest for streamlined and effective cybersecurity, the ESET PROTECT Platform stands out as a quintessential example of centralized cyber risk management. This cloud-first, AI-native cybersecurity platform integrates a comprehensive suite of tools designed to provide robust protection while simplifying security operations.

Key Features of ESET PROTECT Platform:

• Unified Security Management: Offers a centralized console that provides real-time visibility and control over all endpoints, facilitating seamless policy enforcement and incident response.
• Advanced Threat Defense: Utilizes proactive, cloud-based defenses to guard against zero-day and never-before-seen threats, ensuring that emerging vulnerabilities are promptly addressed.
• Extended Detection and Response (XDR): Enables comprehensive threat hunting and incident response capabilities, allowing security teams to investigate and remediate sophisticated threats effectively.
• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Ensures that access to organizational data is protected through seamless MFA, enhancing security compliance and reducing unauthorized access risks.
• Vulnerability and Patch Management: Actively tracks and addresses vulnerabilities in operating systems and applications across all endpoints, mitigating potential security threats from unpatched systems.

In conclusion, the future of cybersecurity lies in simplification without compromise. As businesses continue their digital transformation journeys, embracing a centralized risk management approach is no longer optional—it’s a critical imperative. Platforms like ESET PROTECT exemplify this strategy by unifying security functions, automating threat detection, and providing real-time risk insights. By adopting such comprehensive solutions, organizations can transition from fragmented defenses to a streamlined, proactive security posture, effectively mitigating cyber risks while freeing up valuable resources to focus on innovation and growth.

March 13,2025:Government-led infrastructure initiatives are also playing a crucial role in reshaping residential preferences. With ongoing developments in suburban and peripheral urban areas, plotted developments are set to redefine housing in India. This trend is paving the way for a new era in real estate, where developers cater to the rising demand for open, customizable spaces while fostering sustainable, community-centric urban planning. Given the current market momentum, the future of residential real estate in India looks increasingly promising.

A JLL study indicates that between January 2022 and October 2023, real estate developers acquired approximately 3,294 acres of land. Furthermore, Anarock reports that around 2,252 acres of land deals in FY-24 are earmarked for residential, plotted, and township projects. The India Plot Market report by Magicbricks highlights Mumbai as the city with the highest demand, followed closely by Pune. This data underscores a notable transformation—plotted developments are no longer just an alternative but are fast becoming the preferred choice for middle-class buyers seeking independence and spacious living.

Developers are also rethinking conventional models to create residential spaces that reflect contemporary aspirations. With a strong emphasis on quality and community-oriented planning, they are crafting environments where residents can enjoy open spaces without sacrificing urban convenience. The trend is also a strategic response to evolving market demands and a step toward future-proofing residential projects.

Mohit Malhotra, Founder & CEO of Neoliv, emphasized this point, stating, “We recognize that homebuyers today seek more than just a place to live—they want spaces that reflect their aspirations, lifestyles, and need for community. As a fund-led developer, we are moving beyond conventional models to create plotted developments that offer the perfect balance of Unique Urban Forest Living, large recreational spaces, and wide access roads. With projects in key locations driven by government infrastructure push, including Kundli-Sonipat, we are committed to prioritizing quality, thoughtful product design, and sustainable growth. By doing so, we are building vibrant, future-ready communities. This shift is more than a trend; it’s a strategic evolution in residential real estate, ensuring that homes are always delivered on time and with a high-quality lifestyle for future generations.”

Neoliv has already made its entry into North India through a development agreement with Royal Green Realty. Its 20-acre Kundli-Sonipat project, situated near Maruti Suzuki’s upcoming plant, includes premium villas, custom-designed plots, and a clubhouse, with a Gross Development Value (GDV) of over Rs. 600 crore. The company aims to create a world-class, sustainable living community in the NCR region.

The demand for plotted developments in India is surging as homebuyers seek greater flexibility and personalized living spaces. Unlike high-rise apartments, these projects provide the freedom to design homes according to individual preferences while benefiting from the security and amenities of gated communities. Additionally, their competitive pricing and adaptability make them an attractive choice for a diverse range of buyers.

Commenting on this shift, Rajat Khandelwal, Group CEO, Tribeca Developers, shared, “Plotted developments are redefining modern homeownership by offering unparalleled flexibility to design bespoke homes while benefiting from thoughtfully curated community amenities. This surge in demand reflects a broader shift in buyer preferences – where personalisation, asset appreciation, and a deeper sense of ownership take precedence. As land values continue to appreciate and infrastructure development accelerates, plotted developments present a compelling investment opportunity, not just in metropolitan hubs but also in emerging tier-II and III cities. At Tribeca, we recognize the potential of this segment and are closely evaluating opportunities to bring our design-driven approach and commitment to quality to the plotted development space.”

The growing inclination toward plotted developments is fueled by rising lifestyle aspirations, increasing disposable incomes, and a preference for green, sustainable living. Developers are capitalizing on this demand by integrating nature-centric elements into their projects. Stonecraft Group, a Hyderabad-based real estate firm, recently launched Woods Indresham, a plotted development spread across 32 acres in Hyderabad. It comprises 305 premium plots ranging from 267 to 587 sq yards and features unique elements such as a one-acre mango grove, a two-acre Miyawaki forest, and seven acres of open spaces to foster a vibrant community.

Kirthi Chilukuri, Founder & Managing Director of Stonecraft Group, noted, “Plotted developments have emerged as a preferred choice for homebuyers seeking flexibility, long-term value, and a deeper connection with nature. Unlike conventional apartment living, these projects offer the freedom to build and customize homes while enjoying open spaces, greenery, and a well-planned community ecosystem. With increasing demand for sustainable and nature-centric living, plotted developments are shaping the future of residential real estate.”
