BLR AIRPORT MARKS KARNATAKA’S NAADAHABBA DASARA WITH A WEEK-LONG CELEBRATION OF ART, CULTURE AND HERITAGE

Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (BLR Airport) is set to celebrate Karnataka’s iconic festival, Naadahabba Dasara, with a week-long cultural celebration from October 12–17. As Bengaluru’s gateway to the world, BLR Airport sees itself as an extension of the city and a cultural gateway to Karnataka, bringing the state’s traditions, stories and creative heritage into the passenger journey. The celebrations will bring Karnataka’s art, traditions and heritage to life through live performances, installations, festive experiences and interactive moments across the airport.

This year, that approach goes beyond showcasing Karnataka’s cultural heritage to making cultural discovery an integral part of the passenger experience. Each activation is rooted in an authentic Karnataka art or craft form, allowing travellers to engage with the stories, skills and traditions behind them. In doing so, the airport becomes more than a setting for festive décor, bringing the living heritage of Karnataka into the journey itself.

Speaking on the celebrations, Shalini Rao, Chief Marketing Officer, Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL), said, "At BLR Airport, we believe every traveller should experience the warmth, culture and spirit of Karnataka. That belief is at the heart of our Naadahabba Dasara celebrations, which bring the state's rich heritage to life through music, dance, puppetry, traditional games and specially curated culinary experiences. From October 12 to 17, passengers, visitors, partners and the people of Bengaluru can immerse themselves in six days of festivities that celebrate the many facets of Karnataka's culture. Through these experiences, we want to create moments of joy, discovery and connection, making every visitor feel welcomed and inspired by the spirit of our state. When travel meets local culture, it creates lasting memories and a genuine sense of belonging that ‘Feels Like BLR.’"

Celebrating Karnataka’s Food, Art and Craft Traditions

A key highlight will be the Dasara Gombe at the T2 Arrival Forecourt from October 12–17, curated by Padma Shri awardee and puppeteer Anupama Hoskere. The display revives the Gombe Habba tradition of festive doll displays, bringing the stories, traditions and significance behind the dolls to life for travellers. Karnataka’s puppetry traditions will also come alive through Togalu Gombeyatta, presented by ninth-generation puppeteer Gunduraju and his team on October 16, from 6–8 PM at the T2 Arrival Forecourt.

Passengers can further engage with Karnataka’s craft traditions through hands-on experiences across T1 and T2. The Channapatna Experience Centre invites passengers to paint traditional lacquered wooden toys, while the Terracotta Experience Centre offers figurine painting rooted in the state’s terracotta traditions. The games zone curated by Kavade will feature traditional Karnataka board games including Huli Kuri, Saalu Aata, Aligulimane, Chowkabara and Spiral Snakes & Ladders.

The focus on Karnataka’s artistic traditions is an extension of BLR Airport’s wider Art & Culture programme, which brings local art forms into the everyday passenger experience. From Flights of Wonder, inspired by Channapatna’s toy-making tradition, to Find Me a Love Song and Khora, which draw from terracotta forms, the programme also features traditional Karnataka board games and Yayati Godbole’s 12 floor inlays inspired by games created by the Mysuru Maharaja.

This cultural expression extends into the wider airport environment, with Karnataka-inspired planters, Dasara umbrellas, emblems and installations, alongside a traditionally adorned elephant at Bengaluru Duty Free and an all-women Dollu Kunitha performance.

The celebration will also extend to Karnataka’s culinary traditions, through a collaboration with chef Ranveer Brar and 080 Lounges for “A Dasara Challenge. A Karnataka Answer.” The Chef will invite Kannadigas to share the Dasara recipe they are most proud of, with the winning recipe recreated by 080 chefs and served to travellers at participating 080 Lounges on Dasara, October 20.

As part of BLR Airport’s larger Feels Like BLR campaign, the festivities will bring Karnataka’s art, culture and traditions into the passenger experience, offering travellers from Bengaluru, across India and around the world a vibrant introduction to the state at its gateway.

Kauvery Hospital launches a Comprehensive Suite of Advanced ECMO and Multiorgan Life Support Services

Kauvery Hospital, Vadapalani, has launched a suite of specialised Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) services to support patients with complex clinical needs as part of a comprehensive critical care approach that considers the heart, lungs and other organs collectively.

The hospital’s Kauvery Centre for ECMO & Advanced Life Support offers a range of specialised services, including VV-ECMO for severe respiratory failure, VA-ECMO for cardiac failure, V-AV ECMO (Hybrid ECMO) for combined heart and lung failure, awake ECMO, and ECMO-supported road and air transfers.

VV-ECMO primarily supports the lungs by oxygenating the blood and removing carbon dioxide, while VA-ECMO provides both respiratory and circulatory support when the heart is unable to pump blood effectively. V-AV ECMO (Hybrid ECMO) combines the benefits of both approaches to provide support for patients with combined heart and lung failure. In appropriately selected patients, awake ECMO enables them to remain conscious while receiving the life support they need.

ECMO-supported air and road transfers enable critically ill patients at hospitals without ECMO facilities to access this advanced life-support intervention. Kauvery Hospital’s specialised team travels to the referring hospital to assess the patient and initiate ECMO support when clinically indicated. The patient is then transferred to Kauvery Hospital, Vadapalani, under continuous ECMO support, where advanced facilities and a multidisciplinary team of specialists provide further treatment.

As the clinical challenges often extend beyond initiating ECMO, patients may require simultaneous support for other failing organs, careful fluid management, specialised dialysis and coordinated care across multiple disciplines. To address these complex needs, the Kauvery Centre for ECMO & Advanced Life Support has a dedicated multidisciplinary team of experienced specialists, supported by continuous monitoring and treatment decisions tailored to each patient’s evolving condition.

The centre brings together ECMO specialists, cardiothoracic surgeons, cardiothoracic anaesthetists, perfusionists, cardiologists, pulmonologists, critical care specialists, nephrologists, haematologists, infectious disease specialists, ECMO-trained nurses, physiotherapists and other relevant clinical teams to deliver comprehensive, coordinated care.

The programme is led by Dr. K. Madhan Kumar, Director – ECMO & VAD, Senior Consultant – Cardiothoracic & Transplant Surgeon at Kauvery Hospital, Vadapalani, who currently serves as President of the ECMO Society of India.

In his comments, Dr. Madhan Kumar said, “When severe heart or lung failure does not respond to conventional treatment, ECMO provides temporary life support, allowing doctors to treat the underlying condition and assess the potential for recovery. Managing such patients often involves addressing complications affecting other organs, requiring careful monitoring and timely clinical decisions. We are pleased to have established the Kauvery Centre for ECMO & Advanced Life Support, bringing together advanced facilities, specialised expertise and a multidisciplinary team to manage complex critical-care cases and provide comprehensive, coordinated care tailored to each patient’s needs.”

Dr. Aravindan Selvaraj, Co-founder and Executive Director, Kauvery Group of Hospitals, said: “Advanced critical care depends on the strength of the team behind it. The ability to manage complex conditions comes from bringing together the right specialists, technology and clinical judgement, particularly when a patient’s needs change rapidly. At Kauvery Hospital, our focus is on building these capabilities as part of a coordinated approach to care, so that patients with serious and complex conditions can be assessed and treated by teams equipped to address their needs.”

Through the Kauvery Centre for ECMO & Advanced Life Support, Kauvery Hospital Vadapalani continues to focus on specialised heart and lung support, multi-organ care and complex critical-care management. The emphasis remains on combining technology with clinical expertise and coordinated teamwork when conventional treatment may no longer be enough.

JSW GROUP UNVEILS ‘TERE SANG BHARAT’, AN ANTHEM CELEBRATING TEAM INDIA’S RELENTLESS SPIRIT

As Team India competes at the Asian Games 2026 in Aichi-Nagoya, JSW Group has unveiled ‘Tere Sang Bharat’, an anthem celebrating the relentless spirit of Indian athletes and the nation that stands behind them.

The campaign builds on JSW Group’s longstanding association with Indian sport and its partnership with the Indian Olympic Association (IOA). Through JSW Inspire, the Group is Team India’s Official Sports Performance and Lifestyle Partner for the 2026 season, supporting the Indian contingent across the Glasgow Commonwealth Games and Asian Games. The 503-member Indian contingent at the Asian Games includes athletes and support staff across multiple sporting disciplines.

At the heart of the campaign is ‘Rukna Nahin Hai’, JSW’s belief in the relentless spirit of Indian athletes. Tere Sang Bharat gives this belief a voice through an anthem film featuring 22 athletes from 11 sporting disciplines, bringing together different sporting journeys, backgrounds and ambitions in one powerful expression of support for Team India.

Speaking about the campaign, Sukesh Nayak, Group Chief Creative Officer, Ogilvy India, said, “The idea is simple and deeply human. The moment an athlete wears the India jersey, they carry the hopes, dreams, love and energy of Bharat. A billion people may be watching from afar, but in that moment, the strength of a billion hearts is with them on the field, telling them one thing: Rukna Nahin Hai.”

Parth Jindal, Founder & Director, JSW Sports, said, "Sport has the power to bring an entire nation together. When our athletes’ step onto the field wearing the India jersey, they carry the hopes, aspirations and energy of a billion people with them. ‘Rukna Nahin Hai’ is more than a campaign for us at JSW. It is a belief in the relentless spirit of our athletes. ‘Tere Sang Bharat’ gives that belief a voice, capturing the emotion of a nation standing behind its athletes, every step of the way. Through JSW Inspire, we are proud to stand alongside Team India as they give everything for the country at the Asian Games.”

The campaign also brings the JSW Inspire Team India jersey into focus, giving fans an opportunity to be part of Team India’s journey. The jersey reflects the spirit of movement, performance and national representation that sits at the heart of JSW Inspire’s partnership with the IOA.

JSW’s commitment to Indian sport extends beyond sponsorship. 51 JSW-backed athletes are representing India at the Asian Games, including 49 athletes from the Inspire Institute of Sport across 10 disciplines and two athletes from the Sports Excellence Programme.

 

35% of Indian singles feel lonely, while 70% are actively working to build new social connections: Match Group-Ipsos survey

Across Asia, modern life is making it harder for young singles to build the meaningful connections they want. In India, the challenge is not a lack of opportunities to connect but finding connections that feel meaningful in an increasingly busy and digitally connected world. Young Indians continue to seek out social and romantic relationships, yet work pressures, exhaustion and the gap between online interaction and real-life connection are making it harder to feel genuinely connected.

To better understand this changing landscape of human connection, Match Group commissioned Ipsos to study how single young adults in India experience loneliness, social connection, relationships and dating. The findings reveal a clear connection paradox: young Indians are actively looking for connection, but being surrounded by people and digitally connected does not always translate into feeling less alone. For many, the growing need is not simply for more ways to meet people, but for fewer, deeper and more meaningful relationships.

The Match Group Human Connection Survey, conducted among 1,000 single Indians aged 18–45, found that 35% of Indian singles feel lonely often or always, even as 70% are actively working to build new social connections and 75% continue to socialise in person more than once a week. The findings suggest that loneliness is increasingly linked to the pressures of modern life rather than a lack of desire or opportunity to connect.

64% of Indian singles say they prioritise work or studies over their social life, while 55% say they are too exhausted after their daily tasks to socialise. More than half (58%) also say they feel connected to people online but lonely in real life, highlighting the gap between being digitally connected and experiencing meaningful human connection.

 Young Indians are looking for fewer, deeper connections

Despite these challenges, the desire for connection remains strong. 72% of Indian singles say they prefer fewer but deeper connections with people, while 70% are actively working to build new social connections. Rather than withdrawing from relationships, the findings suggest that young Indians are becoming more intentional about the connections they want to build.

This need for connection extends to romantic relationships. 78% believe in true love and 77% believe they will eventually find "the one". Meanwhile, 85% say they are looking for a relationship in the long term, rising to 89% among Gen Z.

The findings also suggest that young Indians are becoming more intentional about whom they choose to build relationships with. 63% would rather keep looking than settle for an imperfect match, while 72% say they will only date people they can see a long-term future with, signalling a preference for relationships built around compatibility and long-term potential.

 "Young Indians are becoming more intentional about the kind of connection they want," said Anukool Kumar, Sr. Director, Regional Head, India & Middle East, Match Group. "The research shows that 35% of Indian singles feel lonely often or always, even as 70% are actively working to build new social connections and 72% say they prefer fewer but deeper connections. This points to a strong desire for meaningful relationships, even as busy lifestyles and digital interactions can make genuine connection harder to achieve. Technology can play a role in helping people discover those connections with a  goal that ultimately is  very human: finding relationships that feel genuine, compatible and meaningful."

 The role of technology in finding meaningful connection

 As people navigate these challenges, technology is increasingly becoming part of how they meet and connect with others. 40% of Indian singles currently use a dating app, while 63% say dating apps help them feel more connected and less alone. More than half (55%) say they are likely or very likely to use a dating app in the next 12 months, while 60% describe online dating as exciting.

The research also indicates that trust is central to how people approach online connection. 60% of Indian singles say they are concerned about safety and inclusivity when dating online, while 52% say verified and authenticated profiles and strong safety measures are among the most important factors when choosing a dating app.

These findings point to a broader role for technology in helping people move from simply being connected to finding meaningful human connection. As dating becomes one of the ways people meet and build relationships, creating an environment where people feel safe and confident is an important foundation for those connections.

 The Match Group Human Connection Survey was conducted by Ipsos across India, Japan, South Korea and Thailand to understand how single young adults are experiencing loneliness, social connection, relationships and dating today. In India, the study surveyed 1,000 single adults aged 18–45 across major metropolitan and Tier 1 cities.

Ultraviolette Builds on BIGGA Factory Momentum with New UV Space Station in Chennai

Ultraviolette Automotive announced the launch of a new UV Space Station in Porur, marking a significant milestone in the company's expanding retail footprint across emerging mobility markets in India. The expansion comes at a pivotal phase in Ultraviolette's growth journey, following the announcement of the company's BIGGA (Big Global Ambition) Factory, the introduction of the Battery Flex (BaaS) platform, and the launch of the X-47 Crossover. With this addition, the company strengthens customer access to its performance-oriented vehicles in Tamil Nadu while further reinforcing its growing national presence as it scales its manufacturing, product, and customer ecosystem across the country.

The newly established UV Space Station, in partnership with M/s. Savirro Motors LLP, will provide customers with a comprehensive experience to explore Ultraviolette's performance motorcycles, including the X-47 Crossover and F77s. Designed as an immersive brand destination, the facility will offer test rides, sales consultations, product demonstrations, and access to an extensive range of motorcycle accessories under one roof.

The experience centre will showcase Ultraviolette's flagship performance motorcycles, the X-47 and F77s. The products redefine electric performance with a powertrain delivering 40.2 hp and 100 Nm of torque, enabling acceleration from 0-60 km/h in just 2.8 seconds. Powered by a 10.3 kWh battery pack, the motorcycles offer an IDC-certified range of up to 323 km on a single charge.

Commenting on the launch, Narayan Subramaniam, Co-founder & CEO, Ultraviolette, said “This is an exciting time for us as we expand across Chennai with the launch of our third space station here. Tamil Nadu offers an ideal environment for us to build and scale globally competitive mobility solutions from India. As we scale our manufacturing through our recently announced BIGGA Factory, we are equally focused on building a strong physical presence that brings Ultraviolette closer to our community. Chennai, with its deep-rooted automotive legacy and rapidly evolving urban landscape, is an important part of this journey. Our new UV Space Station in Porur creates a destination where riders and enthusiasts can experience the technology, design, and performance that define Ultraviolette.”

Built on Ultraviolette's deep engineering expertise and platform-led innovation, the X-47 Crossover is the world's first electric motorcycle in its segment to offer radar as standard. Designed for versatile riding, it features a 5-inch TFT display, three ride modes, long-travel suspension, and industry-first radial all-terrain tyres, delivering confidence and control across varied conditions.

The motorcycle is powered by UV Radar Intelligence and the UV HyperSense Advanced Rider Assistance System, enabled by a 77 GHz rear radar that supports features such as blind-spot detection, lane-change assist, overtake alerts, and rear-collision warnings. It also incorporates an integrated dashcam and the world's most power-dense air-cooled onboard charger, developed entirely in-house by Ultraviolette.

Reinforcing its commitment to scaling next-generation electric mobility, Ultraviolette recently announced its BIGGA (Big Global Ambition) Factory in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, a new manufacturing facility designed to significantly expand production capacity, support its growing product portfolio, and accelerate the company's ambitions across India and international markets. Equipped with advanced manufacturing technologies and planned for phased capacity expansion, the facility represents a major investment in Tamil Nadu's manufacturing ecosystem and further strengthens Ultraviolette's industrial and innovation footprint in the state. Complementing this growth, the company also introduced Battery Flex (BaaS), a flexible ownership model that enables customers to own the X-47 starting at ₹1,49,000, with battery subscriptions beginning at ₹2,323 per month. By separating vehicle and battery ownership costs, Battery Flex makes advanced electric mobility more accessible while offering greater flexibility and convenience.

 UV Space Station is located at 5/4, Sri Ram Nagar, Karambakkam, Porur, Chennai – 600116

Swiggy Dineout turns GIRF into The Great Indian Ravi Festival with Ravi Kishan

Swiggy, India’s pioneering on-demand convenience platform announced the return of Swiggy Dineout’s flagship dining property, the Great Indian Restaurant Festival (GIRF) but with a twist. This year, GIRF has been reimagined as The Great Indian Ravi Festival, built entirely around the internet's current obsession, Ravi Kishan. The campaign is anchored by the line "Discount Followsss My Brothaaaar", a twist on one of Ravi Kishan's most viral dialogues, tying the internet's favourite movement directly to GIRF's core promise: unbeatable dining discounts. This edition of GIRF will be live from September 14, 2026 to October 24, 2026. Customers can enjoy up to 50% off across 57,000+ restaurants in 84+ cities across India, including a range of cafés, pubs, bars, luxury dining and family restaurants. Diners can also get an additional 10% instant discount on all HDFC Bank cards, along with 10% back as DineCash on every booking made through Dineout.

The renaming of GIRF is much more than a branding exercise. It is Swiggy Dineout's response to a cultural moment that is already unfolding online. Ravi Kishan, a household name in Indian cinema for decades, has recently been trending across social channels with his dialogues, expressions and mannerisms remixed and shared widely by a wide generation of internet users. Swiggy Dineout has not just tapped into that moment, it has built an entire festival around it.

As part of the campaign, Ravi Kishan moves beyond the role of a conventional brand ambassador to become the face, voice and personality of the entire festival. The flagship campaign film reimagines him as a larger-than-life figure, a philosopher dispensing his own brand of life wisdom, weaving in recognisable internet-favourite references such as "Jaldi the Late" and "Home from Work" into the world of dining out, in a style that mirrors the content his fans already love him for.

Speaking on GIRF, Dhruvish Thakkar, AVP Marketing and Revenue, Swiggy Dineout said, "GIRF continues to be one of India's largest dining movements, and every year our aim is to meet consumers where they already are. We have partnered with trending personalities and internet icons for GIRF over the last few years. This time, we have gone a step further by rechristening GIRF as Great Indian Ravi Festival. Ravi Kishan isn't just having a moment right now — he is the moment and has been trending across social media for the past few weeks! This is the reason why instead of simply riding that wave, we decided to build this year's entire festival around him. We hope that GIRF in its new avatar will appeal to a larger audience, as the discount really does follow the brothaa.”

The festival spans across 84+ cities including India's established dining capitals like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Chennai, alongside emerging culinary destinations including Goa, Jaipur, Indore, Coimbatore, Chandigarh, Lucknow and Udaipur.

This edition features participation from leading brands including Good Flippin' Burgers, Punjab Grill, YouMee, One 8 Commune, Mainland China, Paradise Biryani and Absolute Barbecues among other popular dining destinations.

The Great Indian Ravi Festival will roll out across digital, social and creator ecosystems, alongside in-app storytelling formats on the Dineout platform, with Ravi Kishan integrated throughout the campaign to make him feel as omnipresent across the festival as he currently is across the internet.
