    Representational image

    Following discussions between Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, it has been decided that four public sector banks — State Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank and Indian Bank — will assist CBSE in strengthening its payment gateway system and integrating secure payment mechanisms with its post-examination services portal.

    The move comes after students and parents raised concerns over failed transactions, portal instability and delays in accessing re-evaluation services following board examination results. Officials said the upgraded payment framework will introduce stronger digital payment protocols, help resolve transaction glitches and facilitate automatic refunds in cases of excess or failed payments.

    In a parallel intervention, the Education Ministry has also directed CBSE to undertake a complete review of its digital systems to ensure a seamless and student-friendly experience. Expert teams comprising professors and technical specialists from Indian Institute of Technology Madras and Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur will be deployed to assist the board in improving portal stability, server performance, IT infrastructure and authentication systems.

    The expert teams are expected to assess the overall robustness of CBSE’s online platform and recommend corrective measures to ensure a glitch-free re-evaluation process, smoother user access and improved payment efficiency.

    Reiterating that student welfare remains the top priority, Pradhan directed CBSE to implement corrective measures on an urgent basis to ensure transparency, reliability and a hassle-free experience for students availing post-result services.

     

     

  • Three Types of Business Travellers Every Indian Company Should Know About

    Business travel in India is no longer just about getting from one city to another – it’s about people, preferences, and personal priorities. As Indian companies expand globally and hybrid work becomes the norm, employees are bringing their expectations, values, and realities into every trip.

    And one thing is clear: a one-size-fits-all travel policy no longer works.

    According to the latest SAP Concur research, 89% of Indian business travellers expect travel budgets to either increase or remain stable in 2025, and hence business travellers can broadly be grouped into three distinct types; each with very different needs.

    1. The Selective Travellers

    Selective Travellers are typically younger professionals, often part of India’s growing hybrid workforce.

    While they are open to travelling for work, they are not willing to compromise on personal values, safety, or well-being.

    • 96% of Indian business travellers are willing to decline a trip if it conflicts with health, safety, or work-life balance concerns (SAP Concur)
    • 97% expect flexibility beyond company policy for reasons like sustainability, safety, or personal priorities (SAP Concur)

    Their expectations go beyond just travel logistics:

    • 73% feel they don’t always get equal travel opportunities (SAP Concur)
    • 41% say companies prioritise sustainability, but face budget challenges (SAP Concur)

    What this means in India:
    Selective Travellers are values-driven and vocal. They want transparency, flexibility, and the ability to make choices aligned with their personal priorities.

    What companies should do:
    Be transparent, prioritise traveller safety, and offer flexible policies that allow exceptions when needed.

    2. The Efficiency Seekers

    Efficiency Seekers are typically mid-to-senior professionals juggling demanding careers and personal responsibilities.

    In India, where work-life balance and time constraints are increasingly important, this group prioritises speed and productivity above all.

    • 99% of Indian travellers are open to AI-powered travel tools (SAP Concur)
    • However, only 3% currently use them, highlighting a gap between interest and execution (SAP Concur)

    They also face frequent disruptions:

    • 91% have had to take unexpected action due to travel disruptions (SAP Concur)
    • 36% have had to cancel or reschedule meetings due to travel issues (SAP Concur)

    Globally, this group is also the most likely to adopt AI for bookings and expense reporting, but only when it saves time.

    What this means in India:
    There is strong openness to AI, but companies need to make it actually useful, intuitive, and secure.

    What companies should do:
    Invest in seamless booking tools, reduce friction in expense management, and ensure strong data security to build trust.

    3. The Experience Maximisers

    Experience Maximisers are typically urban professionals based in India’s major business hubs like Mumbai, Delhi NCR, and Bengaluru.

    For them, business travel is not just functional; it’s an experience.

    • 95% of Indian travellers say business travel is critical to career success (SAP Concur)
    • 68% see it as essential for career growth (SAP Concur)

    At the same time, they are navigating constraints:

    • 27% feel companies prioritise cost-cutting over flexibility (SAP Concur)

    Globally, this group is more likely to upgrade travel experiences and even pay out of pocket for comfort.

    What this means in India:

    As corporate travel budgets tighten, employees still seek comfort, convenience, and meaningful travel experiences.

    What companies should do:
    Offer transparent upgrade options, clearly communicate policy limitations, and allow room for personalisation.

    These three traveller types highlight a simple truth: rigid travel policies are outdated.

    Indian businesses are seeing a strong rebound in travel, with 89% of business travellers expecting travel budgets to increase or remain stable. At the same time, employees are demanding more flexibility, transparency, and personalisation.

    Brett Wheeldon, Vice President, Solutions Consulting, APAC, SAP Concur says, “Rigid travel policies are no longer effective in today’s dynamic work environment. In India, where employee expectations are rapidly evolving, companies that fail to recognise different traveller needs risk lower compliance and satisfaction. By building flexible and transparent travel programmes, organisations can drive better outcomes for both employees and the business.”

The initiative marks the historic debut of Indian spirits within Canada’s duty-free retail landscape across major international gateways including Toronto Pearson International Airport, Vancouver International Airport, key airports across Alberta, as well as prominent land-border duty-free locations in Ontario and British Columbia. The evening’s highlight was a Grand Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony celebrating the arrival of Indian heritage, craftsmanship, and premium offerings into mainstream international retail spaces.

    Indian Aisle brings Indian spirits to Canada’s duty-free retail network

    The launch is being viewed as a significant milestone in India’s expanding global footprint, aligning with the country’s larger push over the past decade towards strengthening international partnerships, promoting Indian enterprise abroad, and taking Indian culture beyond borders. As India continues to emerge as a major economic and cultural force globally, initiatives such as the Indian Aisle reflect the growing international appetite for Indian products, stories and craftsmanship.

The visibility of Indian spirits across major Canadian travel hubs reflects the importance and influence of the Indian diaspora while opening new opportunities for cultural exchange and bilateral business growth. At a time when Indian cuisine, wellness, fashion, cinema, and artisanal products are finding wider global audiences, the Indian Aisle adds another powerful dimension to India’s international cultural presence.

    “Today is not just about launching products into a new market; it is about opening doors for Indian heritage, craftsmanship and stories to travel globally,” said Mr. Balaji Nagaraja and Ms. Pooja S., Founders of Great White Northern Spirits (GWNS). “Canada’s multicultural identity makes it the perfect home for an initiative like the Indian Aisle. Through this platform, we hope to create stronger cultural connections, introduce travellers to the richness of Indian spirits, and build meaningful commercial opportunities between India and Canada.
