Sansad MSME Conclave Organized in Mumbai North West Parliamentary Constituency, Empowers Over 200 MSME Entrepreneurs

The Sansad MSME Conclave was successfully organized in the Mumbai North West Parliamentary Constituency with the objective of strengthening, supporting, and empowering the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector. The conclave witnessed the enthusiastic participation of over 200 MSME entrepreneurs, industry professionals, start-ups, and business owners representing diverse sectors such as manufacturing, services, trade, logistics, food processing, textiles, and emerging digital enterprises.

The conclave served as a comprehensive platform to address the evolving needs and challenges of MSMEs while creating awareness about policy initiatives, institutional support, and growth opportunities available to entrepreneurs. MSMEs, often referred to as the backbone of the Indian economy, contribute significantly to employment generation, innovation, exports, and inclusive economic development. Recognizing this vital role, the Sansad MSME Conclave was conceptualized to facilitate meaningful engagement between entrepreneurs, policymakers, financial institutions, and industry experts.

A key highlight of the event was the in-depth discussion on various Government of India schemes and initiatives aimed at promoting MSMEs. Participants were informed about credit facilities, collateral-free loans, interest subvention schemes, subsidies, export promotion policies, digital compliance, GST facilitation, and government procurement opportunities through platforms such as GeM. Special emphasis was laid on encouraging small businesses to formalize their operations, adopt digital tools, and improve competitiveness in both domestic and global markets.

Experts and resource persons shared valuable insights on ease of doing business, access to finance, technology adoption, skill development, innovation, and sustainability. Entrepreneurs were guided on how to overcome common hurdles such as limited capital, regulatory compliance, market access, and scalability challenges. The interactive sessions enabled MSME owners to raise queries, seek clarifications, and receive practical, solution-oriented advice tailored to their business needs.

The conclave also played an important role in fostering networking and collaboration among MSME stakeholders. Entrepreneurs had the opportunity to interact with peers, explore business partnerships, exchange best practices, and build long-term professional relationships. Such networking is expected to enhance supply-chain linkages, encourage local sourcing, and promote collective growth within the MSME ecosystem.

Speaking at the conclave, the organizers highlighted that strengthening MSMEs is essential for achieving the vision of a self-reliant India. They emphasized that initiatives like the Sansad MSME Conclave help bridge the information gap and ensure that government policies and benefits reach grassroots entrepreneurs in an effective and transparent manner. By creating direct channels of communication, the conclave empowers entrepreneurs to take informed decisions and leverage available institutional support.

Participants expressed strong appreciation for the initiative, describing the conclave as timely, informative, and highly impactful. Many MSME owners noted that the availability of consolidated information under one platform saved time and provided clarity on multiple schemes and processes. Several entrepreneurs also shared that the guidance received during the conclave would help them expand operations, generate employment, and improve financial sustainability.

The Sansad MSME Conclave was sponsored and supported by various sponsors and partner organizations, whose generous contribution and cooperation played a crucial role in the successful execution of the event. The support from sponsors enabled seamless arrangements, quality sessions, and greater outreach to MSME stakeholders. The organizers extended heartfelt gratitude to all sponsors, partners, experts, and volunteers for their unwavering support and commitment towards MSME development.

Beyond knowledge sharing, the conclave reinforced the importance of inclusive growth, entrepreneurship, and local economic development within the Mumbai North West Parliamentary Constituency. By empowering MSMEs, the initiative contributes to job creation, skill enhancement, and the strengthening of local industries, thereby supporting overall socio-economic progress.

The conclave concluded with a strong commitment from the organizers to continue engaging with MSME entrepreneurs through similar platforms in the future. Such initiatives will further strengthen the MSME ecosystem, encourage innovation, and align grassroots enterprises with national economic priorities.

The Sansad MSME Conclave stands as a significant step towards building a resilient, competitive, and future-ready MSME sector, reaffirming the collective resolve to support entrepreneurs and drive sustainable economic growth in Mumbai North west and beyond.

“Behind The Strength” — A Podcast Born From the Belief That Every Smile Has a Story

“Behind The Strength” — A Podcast Born From the Belief That Every Smile Has a Story

Mumbai, India — January 29, 2026 – Launched on International Women’s Day, March 8, 2025, Behind The Strength is a purpose-driven podcast that goes beyond achievements to uncover the unseen struggles, emotional battles, and defining moments that shape real resilience. Created and hosted by Priya Kapur, the podcast is a response to a world that often celebrates success without acknowledging the cost of getting there.

Priya Kapur’s Vision: What Lies Behind the Smile

At the heart of Behind The Strength lies Priya Kapur’s deeply personal vision — to create a safe, honest space where stories are told without filters. The podcast was born from her belief that behind every confident smile, public persona, or successful title lies a journey filled with doubt, sacrifice, grief, courage, and quiet perseverance.

Priya Kapur set out to shift the narrative from “look how strong they are” to “look what they survived.” By focusing on the rawness behind success, the podcast challenges the culture of performative strength and highlights the humanity behind every achievement. Behind The Strength reminds listeners that resilience is not about being unbreakable — it is about showing up, even when life is heavy.

A Platform That Celebrates Strength in Its Truest Form

Behind The Strength celebrates stories where vulnerability meets courage. Each episode invites guests to share not just what they built or achieved, but what they endured — the failures, emotional toll, inner conflicts, and turning points that shaped them. The podcast resonates with anyone who has ever felt unseen behind their accomplishments or expected to stay strong without space to be honest.

Season Two — Voices That Speak Truth, Not Perfection

Building on a powerful first season, Behind The Strength Season Two features a diverse line-up of professionals and changemakers whose stories reflect resilience across fields and life experiences:

  • Dr. Hemakshi Basu — A leading physiotherapist who speaks about healing, recovery, and the emotional layers of physical pain, redefining what true wellness looks like.
  • Dr. Rickson Pereira — Exploring identity, confidence, and internal healing, Dr. Pereira discusses the unseen emotional work behind personal transformation.
  • Khyati Rupani — A wellness entrepreneur who shares her journey with PCOS, body autonomy, and building a brand rooted in lived experience and self-advocacy.
  • Advocate Mrunalini Deshmukh — One of India’s prominent advocates working with high-profile and celebrity cases, she brings a powerful perspective on women’s rights, emotional abuse, mentorship, and the invisible strength required to fight for justice — both professionally and personally.
  • Shaan Khanna — An entrepreneur and strategist who reflects on ambition, failure, reinvention, and building purpose-driven success in an uncertain world.

A Strong Foundation: Season One Highlights

The inaugural season set the tone for the podcast’s honest storytelling with influential voices such as:

  • Ms. Priya Dutt — Former Member of Parliament and Chairperson of the Nargis Dutt Foundation, sharing insights on leadership, loss, service, and resilience in public life.
  • Dr. Kiran Coehlo — Renowned gynecologist and healthcare leader, offering perspectives on women’s health, endurance in medicine, and emotional strength in caregiving roles.
  • Dr. Anjali Chhabria — Founder of Mindtemple and one of India’s leading psychiatrists, bringing critical conversations around mental health, emotional resilience, inner healing, and the unseen psychological strength behind functional, smiling lives.

More Than a Podcast — A Movement of Honest Conversations

Across its seasons, Behind The Strength has evolved into more than a podcast. It is a growing movement that encourages honesty, emotional courage, and self-reflection. By normalising conversations around struggle, vulnerability, and healing, the series offers listeners permission to acknowledge their own journeys — without shame or comparison.

Join the Conversation

Behind The Strength is available on all major podcast platforms, with video episodes accessible on YouTube.

Behind every smile is a story.
Behind every success is strength.
And every chapter deserves to be heard.

Incredible Design Showcases Two Iconic Republic Day Parade Tableaux Celebrating Ayush and the Legacy of Punyashloka Lokmata Devi Ahilyabai Holkar

Incredible Design Showcases Two Iconic Republic Day Parade Tableaux Celebrating Ayush and the Legacy of Punyashloka Lokmata Devi Ahilyabai Holkar

New Delhi | Republic Day Parade 2026 – Incredible Design, a New Delhi–based multidisciplinary design studio, has conceptualised and delivered two landmark tableaux for the Republic Day Parade 2026, translating India’s civilisational wisdom, governance ethos, and cultural continuity into powerful national narratives. Designed for the Ministry of Ayush and the State of Madhya Pradesh, the tableaux reflect Incredible Design’s expertise in transforming policy, heritage, and vision into immersive spatial storytelling.

The Ministry of Ayush tableau embodies the philosophy “Ayush ka Tantra, Swasthya ka Mantra,” highlighting the role of the National Ayush Mission (NAM) in strengthening India’s traditional systems of medicine and integrating them into the national public health framework, aligned with the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat. The tractor unit features a rotating tri-sculpture of Acharya Charak, Acharya Patanjali, and Acharya Agastya, seated around a hill of medicinal plants, symbolising Ayush wisdom rooted in nature. A walking contingent showcases NAM’s digital platforms reinforcing preventive and accessible healthcare, reflecting India’s emergence as a technology-enabled global wellness leader. “Ayush is often seen as ancient knowledge. We wanted to show it as a future-ready public health system—rooted in nature, but scaled through technology,” says Architect Sanjay Soni, Chief Knowledge Director Incredible design.

The main trailer presents NAM’s flagship initiatives—Supraja (neo-natal and maternal care), Vayomitra (elderly care), and Ayurvidya (Ayush education at the primary school level). The Arishadvarga, representing the six inner enemies, is depicted through expressive puppetry, illustrating how Ayush practices foster balance and holistic well-being. The rear section showcases the Ayushman Arogya Mandir (Ayush), depicting community health activities, a meditative figure symbolising body–mind–spirit harmony, yoga demonstrations, and a display of commonly used Ayush medicines. Side panels feature 3D murals of Bharatiya therapies such as Marma, Shirodhara, and Cupping, alongside pioneers of major Ayush systems.

Production Designer, Tushar Pradhan, Grey Production comments Ahilyabai Holkar represents governance where power was quiet, culture was protected, and women shaped the moral centre of the state. Our design had to carry that restraint.” Madhya Pradesh tableau is conceived as a dignified homage to Lokmata Devi Ahilyabai Holkar—an enduring embodiment of self-reliance, patriotism, ethical governance, and the guardianship of culture. The front section presents the revered image of Lokmata Devi Ahilyabai holding a sacred Shivling, seated on a lotus, symbolising serenity, devotion, and maternal strength. The central portion depicts her with ministers and soldiers, representing just administration and protection of Dharma, while panels below illustrate the extensive restoration and construction of temples undertaken during her reign.

The concluding sections present the iconic ghats, temples, and fort of Maheshwar, with the flowing Narmada River evoking the spiritual and cultural soul of the region. Temple spires established by Ahilyabai rise above the ghats, while murals below depict women engaged in the renowned Maheshwari sari weaving tradition—testifying to women’s empowerment, dignity of labour, and indigenous craftsmanship fostered during her era. Folk artists performing traditional dances add rhythm and vitality, transforming the tableau into a living cultural tribute.

Reflecting on the design philosophy behind the twin tableaux, Sanjay Soni, Architect and Chief Knowledge Director, Incredible Design, said:

“A Republic Day tableau is architecture without permanence—but with enormous responsibility. It exists for minutes, yet it must live for decades in public memory. At Incredible Design, we don’t start with form—we start with meaning. Form emerges only after the story is clear. These tableaux are designed simultaneously for the President’s eye, the television camera, and the collective consciousness of the nation—few design challenges are as complex.”

Through these two presentations, Incredible Design reaffirms its role as a trusted creative partner for national platforms—crafting large-scale public narratives that celebrate India’s heritage, empower its present, and inspire its future.

About Incredible Design

Incredible Design is a New Delhi–based multidisciplinary design studio specialising in national pavilions, Republic Day tableaux, cultural installations, and large-format exhibitions. Led by architect and Chief Knowledge Director Sanjay Soni, the studio is known for translating policy, heritage, and institutional vision into compelling spatial narratives.

This Republic Day, National Finance Olympiad Partners With Mirae Asset Mutual Fund to Advance Financial Education for Parents Across India

This Republic Day, National Finance Olympiad Partners With Mirae Asset Mutual Fund to Advance Financial Education for Parents Across India

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], Janaury 23: As India celebrates the values of citizenship, empowerment and nation-building, the National Finance Olympiad (NFO), India’s largest financial literacy program for school students, has announced a new collaboration with Mirae Asset Mutual Fund to bring investor education directly to parents through an interactive learning tool included with every Personal Finance Handbook (PFH) purchase.

The partnership aims to bridge the financial literacy gap not only for students but for their families, particularly parents who often struggle to find time and reliable resources to revisit their own financial goals.

As part of this initiative, every parent who purchases the NFO’s Personal Finance Handbook will also receive a complimentary SIP Wheel, a hands-on investor awareness tool created by Mirae Asset Mutual Fund. The wheel visually demonstrates the power of compounding through scenarios such as SIPs, SIP top-ups, lumpsum investments and Systematic Withdrawal Plans (SWPs), helping parents understand how disciplined, long-term investing can transform their financial future.

Parents can also deepen their learning through QR codes included in the brochure, leading them to Mirae’s investor education microsite and a curated YouTube playlist designed to simplify core investment concepts.

“When parents invest time in understanding their own financial habits, they naturally shape their children’s relationship with money,” said Shiv Bidani, Co-founder of the National Finance Olympiad. “While our program equips students with age-appropriate financial knowledge, many parents tell us they wish they had learned these concepts sooner. This collaboration with Mirae Asset allows us to extend the learning journey beyond the students. The SIP Wheel is a simple, practical reminder of how consistency and compounding can change a family’s financial future.”

Mr. Shrinivas Khanolkar, Head – Digital, Marketing & Corporate Communication of Mirae Asset Investment Managers (India) Private Limited said, “Financial awareness is most powerful when it begins at home. As a long-term investor focused fund house, Mirae Asset believes that parents play a pivotal role in shaping how children perceive savings, investing and financial discipline. Through this partnership with the National Finance Olympiad, we aim to empower parents with simple, intuitive tools that help them understand the power of compounding and consistency, encouraging these concepts to seamlessly integrate into everyday family conversations and, over time, may help children develop a strong foundation of financial awareness for the future.”

This initiative also acts as a preview to a broader financial literacy journey offered by Mirae Asset, encouraging parents to explore structured learning content, interactive calculators and educational videos that make the principles of compounding and investing easy to understand and apply.

About NFO: The National Finance Olympiad (NFO) is India’s largest and most impactful financial literacy program dedicated to students from Grades 1 to 12. With a mission to make financial education accessible, practical and engaging, NFO equips young learners with essential money management skills through structured content, competitive exams and school partnerships.
