Sunny Varkey, Chairman and Founder of GEMS Education and The Varkey Foundation, said, “We believe in empowering the next generation to shape a better world. GEMS School of Research and Innovation is a testament to our unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional education based on our 65 years of experience.

“By combining the very best hand-picked educators recruited from the UK and around the world with cutting-edge technology and unmatched facilities, we are creating a unique school where every student has the opportunity to thrive and innovate, leveraging their own innate curiosity.”

At the core of the school’s philosophy are its values, which nurture students to be pioneering, empathetic, and prepared to address global challenges with care and purpose. The school’s Family First movement strengthens this approach, fostering close collaboration with parents to uphold strong family values.

Every element of the school has been meticulously crafted to provide an enhanced sensory experience. From dedicated reading and play spaces to state-of-the-art STEM and disruption labs, the environment is designed to inspire creativity and foster critical thinking.

Specialist primary spaces for technology, design, sports, and the arts, alongside collaborative tech hubs and an immersive research centre, offer unmatched opportunities for young learners to explore and excel.

The school’s extended day programme further invests in a super co-curriculum that nurtures students’ talents in everything from gymnastics and swimming to musical theatre, classical dance, and street performance.

As a GEMS Centre of Excellence for Research and Technology, students will connect with schools worldwide, participating in UNESCO conferences, becoming global ambassadors, and gaining access to prestigious universities and top-tier employers through the GEMS for Life programme.

Partnerships with industry leaders like Microsoft, HP, Apple, and Plug and Play Tech Center provide real-world learning opportunities that foster entrepreneurial mindsets and encourage students to turn ideas into impactful solutions.

The school’s Disruption Lab and Research Centre is dedicated to developing entrepreneurial skills and cultivating innovative thinking, empowering students to create solutions that address real-world challenges.

The campus boasts world-class amenities designed to bring the learning experience to life, including:

Kolkata, January 13, 2025: In a thought-provoking session exploring the depths of astrology, experts Shalini Modi and Dr. Ridhi Bahl illuminated the audience at Apeejay Kolkata Literary Festival 2025. Moderated by Shobha Tharoor Srinivasan, author and astrologer Shalini Modi shared her journey and personal experiences, including marriage predictions that came true with uncanny accuracy. “The house of marriage or spouse, is also the house partnership. The strength of this house determines the success in marriage and business partnership. Therefore, when marriage is predicted, it includes living in with someone or even finding a partner.,” Shalini added to the topic.

Dr. Bahl, with her rich lineage of astrologers and nearly two decades of professional experience, highlighted the complexity and depth of astrology. “Astrology is wonderful guide which can provide significant insights about personal, professional & financial fronts.”, she said. The session delved into the age-old debate of destiny versus free will, shedding light on astrology’s role as a guide rather than a predetermined script. Dr. Ridhi emphasized, Shalini Modi echoed this sentiment, recounting how astrology had provided meaningful insights to those around her.

The conversation also tackled how astrology evolves with changing times, addressing modern aspects like career decisions and medical treatments. Dr. Ridhi emphasized the importance of adaptability in astrological interpretations, highlighting how classical texts might not address modern concepts like divorce. Today, however, astrologers help couples navigate challenges by suggesting solutions such as medical interventions or adoption. Shalini concluded by noting that astrology’s enduring appeal lies not only in what is written in the stars but in how we interpret and apply it to our lives.

Austin, TX, 13th January 2025 – Texmed Billing Solutions has announced the launch of claims.texmed.us, an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered platform designed to address administrative inefficiencies in healthcare billing. Released in December 2024, the platform aims to simplify revenue cycle management (RCM) processes and reduce the growing administrative waste burden on healthcare providers.

An analysis published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) estimated that administrative inefficiencies in the U.S. healthcare system contribute to over $300 billion annually in unnecessary costs. The study highlighted that the United States spends 8% of its GDP on administrative expenses, compared to an average of 3% in other high-income countries. These inefficiencies stem from redundant paperwork, coding errors, and compliance challenges—issues Texmed’s AI platform is designed to address.

“Healthcare providers are facing increasing operational demands, with administrative tasks taking time and resources away from patient care,” said Kashif Kamran, Texmed’s Director of Business Operations and AI Solutions. “Our AI platform promises to reduce administrative waste by making the claims process faster, more accurate, and more reliable.”

The claims.texmed.us platform integrates seamlessly with existing billing systems and incorporates several advanced features to streamline the billing process. It automates documentation review, ensures coding accuracy, and checks compliance with industry standards such as the National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI), Local Coverage Determination (LCD), and National Coverage Determination (NCD) guidelines. By providing real-time feedback on potential issues, the platform enables providers to address errors before submission, significantly reducing delays and rejections.

Proven Efficiency Gains in Initial Testing
Initial tests of claims.texmed.us have established its potential to deliver measurable improvements. The platform has demonstrated a 30% reduction in claim denials and faster reimbursement times, underscoring its effectiveness in improving financial outcomes for healthcare providers.

A Vision for the Future of Healthcare Billing
Texmed Billing Solutions is committed to transforming healthcare RCM with innovative technology. By leveraging resources from Microsoft’s Startup Founders Hub program, the company plans to enhance the scalability and functionality of claims.texmed.us. Future advancements may include further automation across the RCM process and predictive financial analytics for providers.
