  • TechnoSport introduces new brand identity as it accelerates expansion across retail, digital and new consumer segments

    Bengaluru, Mar 18: TechnoSport announced the rollout of a refreshed identity, marking a new milestone in its journey as the company accelerates expansion across retail, digital and marketplace channels. At the centre of the brand refresh is the evolution of the Technosport wordmark, having been redesigned with a bold, forward-leaning italic typeface that captures the brand’s spirit of speed, energy and movement.

    TechnoSport introduces new brand identity as it accelerates expansion across retail, digital and new consumer segments

     The refresh comes at a pivotal moment in TechnoSport’s growth journey, as the brand scales both its market presence and overall business momentum across consumer segments. Backed by vertically integrated manufacturing and a distribution network spanning over 7,000 retailers, the company has built a strong value-performance proposition over 18 years in the Indian market. Today, TechnoSport is in a phase of accelerated expansion, driven by rising demand for accessible performance wear, growing at a CAGR of ~40%, and is on track to sell over 25 million apparel units in FY26, cementing its position as one of the largest activewear players by volume.

    Against this backdrop, the identity evolution serves as a natural extension of the brand’s scale and ambition. It reflects TechnoSport’s transition into a sharper, more contemporary performance-wear brand designed for wider relevance and stronger recall across retail, digital, and product touchpoints. The updated typography and visual system enhance clarity and visibility, ensuring consistency and impact as the brand expands across formats, from retail storefronts and exclusive brand outlets to digital and marketplace environments.

    Importantly, this evolution does not signal a shift away from the brand’s core. Instead, it reinforces TechnoSport’s positioning as a modern performance brand for the everyday Indian consumer, one that supports a range of active use cases across daily wear, gym, fitness, and sports. Rooted in performance, accessibility, functionality, and versatility, the refreshed identity is a visual expression of a brand that is scaling with purpose while staying true to its value-performance promise.

    Speaking on the occasion, Puspen Maity, CEO, TechnoSport, said,

    This brand identity refresh marks an important step in TechnoSport’s next phase of growth. Over the years, we have built strong scale and consumer trust by making high-quality performance wear accessible to a wide base of Indian consumers. As more consumers embrace movement as part of everyday life, whether through daily wear, fitness routines or active sports, it is important that our brand expression reflects the energy, confidence and ambition of the business. The refreshed identity signals our intent to strengthen TechnoSport’s presence across channels and continue building one of India’s leading performance wear brands.

    Adding to this, Patralika Agrawal, Head of Marketing, TechnoSport, said,

    With this refreshed identity, we wanted to retain the strong recognition that TechnoSport has built over the years while introducing a sharper and more contemporary visual language that reflects movement, energy and confidence. The evolved logo and wordmark are designed to enhance visibility and recall across key consumer touchpoints, from stores and product branding to digital and marketplace platforms. More importantly, this refresh helps express TechnoSport more clearly as a modern performance wear brand built for everyday versatility across daily use, gym and fitness routines, and active sports.

    As the brand strengthens its omnichannel presence, the refreshed identity is expected to support more consistent visibility across retail formats, product branding and communication platforms. The rollout will be implemented in phases across stores, distributor networks and digital interfaces, enabling a more uniform brand experience while reinforcing Technosport’s positioning around comfort, functional innovation and everyday versatility.

  • Leading US university reinforces commitment to sustainability with installation of 21 Philips Tableaux ePaper displays for instant energy and waste paper reductions

    Leading US university reinforces commitment to sustainability with installation of 21 Philips Tableaux ePaper displays for instant energy and waste paper reductions

     

    Amsterdam, Mar 18: PPDS, the exclusive global provider of Philips Professional Displays and complementary solutions, is excited to announce the successful installation of 21 Philips Tableaux ePaper signage displays at Duquesne University, with the range bringing instant energy savings and waste cutting benefits, as well as delivering on a more informed and sustainable campus.

     Founded in 1887, Duquesne is among the top 15% educational institutions in the United States. A top ranked private Catholic university in Pittsburgh, it caters for 8,000 students from 80 countries and over 3,000 faculty and staff.

     As the university continues to experience exponential growth, both in appeal and in size, its scenic 49 acre (198,300 m2) campus overlooking downtown Pittsburgh continues to evolve, with the university placing a growing focus on enabling students with the latest technologies both in and outside of the classrooms.

     Aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and with a commitment to sustainable ecologies – which saw them recently named on the Princeton Review List of Green Colleges – the team researched the global ePaper market and turned to PPDS to seize the opportunities of the technology to replace the tired paper directories used around its campus.

     Concluding the in depth analysis, Philips Tableaux ePaper displays were selected as the standout choice to achieve the team’s ambitions, with a fleet of 21x 32” 5150 and 25” 4050 Philips Tableaux installed in classrooms, study areas, and hallways.

     As with other installations of Philips Tableaux ePaper displays – most recently inside the Institut Pasteur’s HQ in Paris – the Philips Tableaux range provides Duquesne University with incredible levels of flexibility and adaptability, interchangeable for a wide range of uses – from wayfinding and safety notices, cafeteria menus and event information, and many more. This includes in areas with limited power sources.

     Light in weight and fully portable, Philips Tableaux models used on campus are capable of displaying full colour imagery for days, weeks, months, or even years without using a single kilowatt of energy, only requiring a small amount of electricity (0.0025 kWh for the 25” model) during content changes.

     Instant benefits

    Running on an Android SoC, Philips Tableaux displays can be managed and updated remotely via a content management or remote display management system such as Philips Wave or as chosen by the team at Duquesne, content can be updated manually via a USB drive.

     The project has been deemed a major success, and a second rollout phase is set to include Philips Tableaux displays in other buildings around the campus, including the School of Nursing, the School of Liberal Arts, and the College of Medicine.

     Lauren Turin, Director of Classroom Technologies, Duquesne University, commented: “We have eliminated the need for complicated installation, and we are saving on the cost of paper, printing, and time. So, the cost per department is more economical in the long run. When our directories need an update, we use a USB drive with the content and an extension cord for power. The time it takes to update the directory is quicker than the time it takes to walk to the building.”

     PPDS Director of Education, Patrick VanTreese, added: “With sustainability now an important focus for businesses and in education, ePaper has become a real game changer, opening new opportunities to reduce wastage, save on costs, and create new opportunities to communicate. We’re delighted to have supported Duquesne University, delivering on their ambitions with our Philips Tableaux range.”

  • India on Track to Become Third Largest Economy by 2030, Manufacturing Holds the Key

    New Delhi, March 18: India is steadily moving toward becoming the world’s third-largest economy by 2030, driven by strong growth, rising investments, and a large domestic market. However, experts believe that expanding the country’s manufacturing sector will be crucial to sustaining this momentum and achieving long-term economic strength.

    India’s economy has shown consistent growth in recent years, supported by increasing consumer demand, digital expansion, and infrastructure development. While the services sector continues to play a dominant role, the next phase of growth is expected to depend more on industrial development and production capacity.

    Why Manufacturing Matters

    A stronger manufacturing base can significantly boost the economy by creating jobs, increasing exports, and reducing dependence on imports. It also supports other sectors such as logistics, trade, and services, creating a multiplier effect across the economy.

    At present, manufacturing contributes a smaller share to India’s overall economy compared to leading industrial nations. Expanding this sector will help India move up the global economic ladder and compete more effectively on the world stage.

    Growth Drivers and Opportunities

    India has several advantages that can support manufacturing growth:

    • A large and young workforce

    • Expanding infrastructure and industrial corridors

    • Rising demand for goods both domestically and globally

    • Increasing focus on technology and innovation

    Key sectors such as electronics, automobiles, renewable energy, and semiconductors are expected to play a major role in this transformation.

    Government Efforts and Policy Support

    The government has introduced various measures to encourage manufacturing, including incentives for production, improvements in ease of doing business, and investments in infrastructure. These steps are aimed at attracting both domestic and foreign investment and building a stronger industrial ecosystem.

    Efforts to improve logistics, reduce costs, and simplify regulations are also helping businesses expand more easily.

    The Road Ahead

    As India continues to grow, the focus is gradually shifting toward building a more balanced economy that combines strong consumption with robust industrial output. Scaling up manufacturing will be essential to creating jobs, boosting exports, and maintaining high growth rates.

    With continued policy support and investment, India is well positioned to strengthen its manufacturing sector and achieve its goal of becoming one of the world’s largest economies.

  • Centre Clears Mega Rs 33,660 Crore Industrial Park Scheme to Boost Manufacturing and Jobs

    New Delhi, March 18: In a major push to strengthen India’s manufacturing ecosystem, the Union Cabinet has approved the BHAVYA scheme with a total outlay of Rs 33,660 crore to develop 100 industrial parks across the country. The initiative is expected to generate large-scale employment opportunities while enhancing industrial infrastructure.

    The scheme aims to create world-class industrial clusters equipped with modern facilities, improved logistics, and better connectivity. By providing ready-to-use infrastructure, the government seeks to attract both domestic and global investors, making it easier for businesses to set up and expand operations.

    Officials said the proposed industrial parks will be strategically located to support key sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, and export-oriented industries. The focus will be on ensuring efficient land use, seamless connectivity, and access to essential services, which are often critical for industrial growth.

    A major objective of the BHAVYA scheme is job creation, particularly in semi-urban and rural areas. By developing industrial hubs beyond major cities, the initiative is expected to promote balanced regional development and reduce migration pressures on urban centres.

    The scheme also aligns with the government’s broader vision of boosting domestic manufacturing and strengthening India’s position in global supply chains. With improved infrastructure and policy support, the initiative is likely to enhance competitiveness and attract long-term investments.

    Industry experts believe that the development of integrated industrial parks will not only improve ease of doing business but also create opportunities for ancillary industries, small businesses, and startups.

    The approval of the BHAVYA scheme marks another step in India’s ongoing efforts to build a robust industrial base, support economic growth, and generate employment at scale. As implementation begins, the initiative is expected to play a key role in shaping the country’s manufacturing future.

  • Cabinet Approves Rs 2,584 Crore Scheme to Boost Small Hydro Projects

    New Delhi, March 18: The Union Cabinet has approved a new scheme aimed at promoting small hydro power projects across the country, with a total financial outlay of Rs 2,584.60 crore. The initiative is expected to strengthen India’s renewable energy capacity while supporting sustainable and decentralized power generation.

    The scheme focuses on the development, modernization, and revival of small hydro projects, which are typically defined as plants with a capacity of up to 25 MW. These projects are considered environmentally friendly and play a crucial role in providing reliable electricity, especially in remote and hilly regions.

    According to official sources, the programme will support both new and existing projects. It includes provisions for upgrading old plants to improve efficiency, as well as incentives to encourage fresh investments in the sector. By addressing issues such as ageing infrastructure and financial viability, the scheme aims to unlock the untapped potential of small hydro energy in India.

    Small hydro projects are particularly significant for states with abundant water resources, including those in the Himalayan and northeastern regions. These projects not only contribute to clean energy generation but also help in local employment and regional development.

    The government’s decision comes at a time when India is accelerating its push toward renewable energy to meet its climate goals and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. By promoting small hydro alongside solar and wind energy, the country is adopting a more diversified approach to clean power generation.

    Industry experts believe that the scheme could revive investor interest in the sector, which has faced challenges in recent years due to high initial costs and regulatory hurdles. With financial support and policy backing, small hydro projects are expected to play a more prominent role in India’s renewable energy mix.

    The initiative also aligns with the broader objective of ensuring energy access in underserved areas while maintaining environmental sustainability. As implementation begins, the scheme is likely to contribute to both green energy expansion and rural development, reinforcing India’s long-term energy strategy.

  • Laani Raises INR 9.1 Crore Pre-Seed to Reinvent Personal Care for India

    Laani Raises INR 9.1 Crore Pre-Seed to Reinvent Personal Care for India

    Mumbai, India  Mar 18th:  Laani, a high-performance body and personal care brand on a mission to bring speed, ease, and joy back to everyday personal care routines, today announced the close of a ₹9.1 crore pre-seed funding round. The round was led by V3 Ventures and Saama Capital, with participation from a distinguished group of angels including Arjun Purkayastha (Managing Director, Reckitt), Manish Taneja (Founder and CEO, Purplle), Kunal Bahl (Founder, Snapdeal), and Dr. Aneesh Sheth (Founder, Dr. Sheth’s Skincare), among others.

    Laani was founded by Nirja Bhatt, a Harvard Business School MBA graduate (Class of 2024) and Columbia University alumna, who previously co-founded Recove. When Nirja returned to India in 2024 after eight years in the United States, she noticed a striking disconnect: while homegrown innovation in skin and hair care had surged, body and personal care had not kept pace with the increasingly active, fast-moving lives of modern Indian women. Products felt greasy, ineffective, cumbersome, or harsh, especially in India’s hot and humid conditions.

    What began as conversations with friends deepened into structured research, culminating in insights gathered from over 500 women across WhatsApp communities, Instagram, and Reddit. The findings confirmed a clear and unmet market gap: high-performance body and personal care, built for Indian skin and climate.

    INTRODUCING THE CLEAR DEODORANT STICK

    Laani launches with the Clear Deodorant Stick, a product born out of a category that has seen little to no meaningful innovation in over a decade. Unlike traditional roll-ons and aerosols that dominate the category, this stick is designed to glide on dry and clear, leaving no stains, no stickiness, and no residue, while delivering clinically tested odour suppression at source for up to 24 hours.

    WHAT THIS FUNDING ENABLES

    The pre-seed capital will be deployed across three strategic priorities: brand building to establish Laani’s presence with Indian consumers, continued investment in research and development to deepen formulation expertise, and the expansion of the product portfolio into new personal care categories.

    IN THEIR OWN WORDS

    “At Laani we are on a mission to reinvent personal care through innovative formats and form factors that are as effective as they are effortless. It’s high-performance, highly functional care that matches ambition, and never asks women to slow down.”

    Nirja Bhatt, Founder and CEO, Laani “I have been in touch with Nirja since her days at HBS and always found her to be a deep consumer thinker. When she said body care, we were in. This category is brand starved and Laani is coming up with some very cool, new age solutions. Wait for what’s in store.”
