Hyderabad, May 12:  Neurobion, from the house of Procter & Gamble Health Limited, launched the new ‘Neurobion Nerve Pain Relief Cream’ — a specialised topical solution designed to provide symptomatic relief from nerve–related pain, tingling and burning sensations in the hands and feet.

As per the recent prevalence data, in India over 10 crore adults experience symptoms associated with nerve related discomfort like nerve pain, tingling or burning in the hands and feet, which can impact everyday activities such as walking, holding objects, or even resting at night[1]. Yet many people continue to rely on ordinary pain relief creams that are designed primarily for muscle (general) pain, often unaware that nerve discomfort requires a specialised approach.

Neurobion Nerve Pain Relief Cream aims to address this unmet need through its superior formulation that contains 0.075% Capsaicin – a clinically proven ingredient that penetrates the skin & targets the root of the nerve pain. The formulation also contains Menthol, Camphor and Eucalyptus Oil, a blend of ingredients that provide a soothing sensation while supporting targeted symptomatic relief. 

The cream features a convenient roll-on applicator, enabling easy, targeted, and non-messy application directly on either side of the hands and feet, to be used three to four times a day, leaving a gap of four to six hours between applications, or as advised by a healthcare professional. It is recommended for adults aged 18 years and above.

Vijay Kumar Pampana, Marketing Director, P&G Health India said, “For over six decades, Neurobion has been trusted by millions of consumers and healthcare professionals as a reliable solution for nerve care. We understand that crores of adults in India experience symptoms associated with nerve discomfort and continue to rely on general pain relief solutions that may not be specifically designed for nerve pain. With Neurobion Nerve Pain Relief Cream, we aim to bridge this gap and provide consumers a targeted topical solution which is specifically designed to help manage nerve pain related symptoms in hands & feet. By combining clinically proven ingredients like Capsaicin, Menthol, Camphor and Eucalyptus Oil, along with a convenient roll-on applicator, the Cream enables targeted application while helping individuals get symptomatic relief from nerve pain and regain comfort and confidence in their everyday lives. At P&G Health, we remain committed to advancing science-backed innovative solutions that address the evolving needs of consumers across the country.” 

Neurobion Nerve Pain Relief Cream is now available across leading pharmacies and retail outlets in India.

India’s retail inflation (CPI) stood at 3.48% in April 2026 on a year–on–year basis, according to provisional estimates. Food inflation rose to 4.20% in April 2026 compared with 3.87% in March 2026. Rural food inflation at 4.26% was higher than urban food inflation which stood at 4.10%.

“Among major commodity groups, transport inflation remained subdued at near-zero levels as Government of India has not increased retail pump prices despite Brent crude oil prices remaining above US$ 100 per barrel in the international markets since the East Asia Crisis” said Mr. Rajeev Juneja, President, PHDCCI.

However, precious metal prices recorded comparatively higher inflation rates due to jump in international metal prices and depreciating INR vis-à-vis US dollar, he added. Silver, Gold/Diamond/Platinum Jewellery jumped (y-o-y) 144.34% and 40.72% respectively.

On the other hand, at the food item level, potatoes, onions, motor cars and jeeps, peas and chickpeas, and air conditioners recorded the lowest inflation rates during April 2026.

The moderation reflects relatively stable price conditions across several core consumption categories, particularly transport. However, food price pressures remain elevated in select commodities, indicating the continued importance of supply-side monitoring.

“In India, recently, a deviation between food and non-food inflation trends continues to impact the inflation outlook. Volatility in agricultural commodities, baring seasonal commodities, and precious metals may continue to influence household inflation expectations in the near term,” said Dr. Ranjeet Mehta, SG and CEO, PHDCCI.

May 11: Newgen Software has been recognized in Forrester’s ‘The Adaptive Process Orchestration Software Landscape, Q2 2026’, an overview of 35 vendors in the Adaptive Process Orchestration (APO) software market, authored by Forrester analyst Bernhard Schaffrik. Newgen Orchestrates Intelligent Enterprises at scale.

About the Forrester APO Landscape Report

Forrester defines Adaptive Process Orchestration (APO) software as “an automation platform that uses AI agents and nondeterministic control flows in addition to traditional deterministic control flows to meet business goals, perform complex tasks, and make autonomous decisions.”

According to the report, “APO enables organizations to embed GenAI into their automation landscape, allowing them to automate increasingly complex processes and improve decision quality. By consolidating fragmented automation tools into a unified, governed backbone, APO helps leaders scale automation confidently, maintain control, and prevent unmanaged AI agent sprawl.”

Commenting on the recognition, Runki Goswami, CMO, Newgen Software, said, “The enterprise conversation around AI has moved beyond adoption to orchestration. Organizations today are not asking whether AI has potential; they are asking how to operationalize it across complex business ecosystems with trust, governance, and scale. We believe our recognition in the Forrester Research APO Landscape reflects Newgen’s vision of building intelligent orchestration at the core of the enterprise, where AI agents, human judgment, and business services work in harmony, adapt in real time, and deliver measurable business outcomes.”

By- Vikram Chopra, Builder, Cars24 

Can an industry built and run by men for decades be led by women just as well, if not better? 

The result is in. It can. 

Last month we launched India’s first all-women automotive hub at DLF South Court, Saket, Delhi. The idea was simple: every Car Advisor, Ops Manager, Hub Head: all women. Sales, operations, financing, everything, owned entirely by an all-women team, held to the exact same standards as every other hub we run. We let it run for a month and looked at the numbers. 

The hub outperformed every other hub we have in Delhi NCR. Not some of them. All of them. 

To understand why this matters, you need to understand what the auto industry actually looks like. 

Walk into any car showroom in this country and tell me what you see. Who’s on the floor. Who’s behind the finance desk. Who’s closing the deal. I have spent my career building in this space, and the picture has never been good enough. Earlier this year I put out a post: Cars24 has 6,803 people, 951 of them women, and not a single woman at director level. I said it publicly because I think leaders should be uncomfortable enough to say these things out loud. 

But saying it is the easy part. What do you actually do about it? 

This hub is one of our answers and I think it’s an answer the whole industry needs to pay attention to, not just us. 

I have a theory on why they won. 

Car buying in India is high-pressure and has always felt that way. When you change who’s on the floor, the entire dynamic of that interaction shifts. Customers walk in differently. The conversation is different. The experience becomes less transactional, and people trust it more. All customers, not just women. 

And a team that knows it’s making history works like it. That motivation is real, and it showed.

This hub runs to exactly the same standards as every other Cars24 hub. Same targets, same processes, same accountability. The women here weren’t chosen to fill a quota, they were chosen because they were ready and capable. The only thing we did differently was make sure they weren’t the exception on the floor. We made them the norm. 

There is no man sharing the floor with them or handing anything off to them when it gets hard. They own the whole thing: every negotiation, every delivery, every customer who walks in, every close. That’s what we meant by a pilot. Not a gesture, but a real test run under real conditions against every other hub in one of our most competitive markets. 

They didn’t just pass the test. They topped the region. Today, this hub alone is selling 100+ cars in a month with a 55% financing penetration. 

That tells me something I want every auto company in this country to sit with: the reason women aren’t on the floor isn’t capability. It’s that nobody gave them the floor. 

This idea came from the men in our team. They saw the gap, pushed for it, built it. I said yes. I should have said yes sooner. But it matters that the men in this company wanted this as much as anyone, because change at this scale doesn’t happen when only women are asking for it. 

We are expanding to Mumbai and Bengaluru next. We want women mechanics in these hubs. 

But our long term goal is to make an initiative like this unnecessary. To reach a point where women leading in automotive operations is the norm and not the news. One hub in Saket is not the point. What Saket proved is the point. And we intend to take that proof as far as it can go. 

New Delhi, May 12: India’s breakfast table is undergoing quite a shift and Quaker® is moving with it. As consumers become more mindful of what they eat, prioritizing protein, fibre and clearer nutritional choices, Quaker®, the leading oats brand1, is stepping up with a refresh that brings these benefits to the forefront, helping consumers make quicker, smarter breakfast decisions.

The shift is rooted in a sharp understanding of how Indian consumers are evolving. According to Mintel, high protein (46%) and high fibre content (32%) have become increasingly important food and drink purchase choice factors in India2. A growing appetite for both high-protein and high-fibre options – particularly among younger consumers – points to a generation that is more informed, more intentional, and more discerning about the brands they choose.

Quaker® has always stood for trusted nutrition, with protein and fibre inherently part of its offering. With this refresh, the brand is bringing these benefits to the forefront to simplify everyday nutrition choices for consumers. The refresh reimagines the brand experience by highlighting 12g of natural protein3 and 33% fibre4 across consumer touchpoints, spanning communication, packaging changes, content, and engagement. The move signals Quaker’s® intent to go beyond being a breakfast staple and become a meaningful nutrition brand for modern India.

Sharing her thoughts, Saakshi Verma Menon, Chief Marketing Officer – Foods, PepsiCo India, said,

“At PepsiCo, innovation starts with a deep understanding of our consumers and the choices they make every day. As Indian consumers become more intentional about nutrition, our focus is on building a portfolio that is not only relevant to their evolving lifestyles but also delivers the taste and trust they expect from us. The Quaker® refresh is a strong reflection of this approach – backed by strong R&D and consumer insight, bringing nutrition-led choices to the forefront in ways that are simple, accessible, and enjoyable. Protein and fibre are the go-to breakfast ingredients and, Quaker® is strengthening its role in the breakfast category by making balanced nutrition easier to understand, choose, and adopt every day.”

Sriram Iyer, Marketing Director – Quaker®, PepsiCo India, added, 

“For over 145 years, Quaker® has stood for trusted, wholesome nutrition, evolving with the changing needs of consumers. Today, the challenge isn’t access to information, it’s navigating it. The food space has never been more cluttered, and consumers are being pulled in too many directions by competing claims and conflicting advice. That’s exactly where Quaker® steps in. This refresh is about bringing our legacy of trust to the forefront with a sharper, clearer focus on what genuinely powers better mornings with balanced natural protein and fibre. Our aim is to shift breakfast from a routine habit to a more informed, purposeful start to the day. Bringing this to life, our latest campaign simplifies the protein versus fibre conversation, using a relatable TVC to cut through the noise and reinforce Quaker® as a clear, credible choice for balanced nutrition.”
