Enectron launches large-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems to power India’s energy transition

New Delhi [India], November 12: The company’s new BESS range is built for utility and C&I applications, combining safety, performance, and flexibility to support renewable integration and reliable power.

Enectron Energy Storage Systems Private Limited, a Bangalore-based startup has announced the launch of its new line of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) designed for utility-scale and commercial-industrial (C&I) applications. The systems aim to strengthen India’s renewable energy backbone by providing flexible, reliable, and clean power at scale.

Enectron’s BESS platforms are built around advanced lithium-based modules and a smart control system, enabling seamless integration with solar, wind, and grid power. The systems can be scaled from small industrial units to multi-megawatt installations for utilities, data centers, and microgrids.

“Right now, the Indian power grid is at an inflection point,” said Mr. Vedvyas V, CEO of Enectron Energy Storage Systems. “The government has committed to 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030, but without storage, the grid simply can’t absorb 100 percent clean power. Our goal is to deploy BESS modules that are scalable, bankable, and climate-positive systems that make renewable energy truly round-the-clock.”

Developed in collaboration with global OEM partners, Enectron’s systems meet international safety and performance standards while maintaining strong cost efficiency. The company is currently engaging with EPC firms, IPPs, and industrial clients to deploy over 10 GWh of storage capacity across India in the coming years.

“We see energy storage as the bridge between ambition and execution in India’s renewable mission,” added Mr. Vedvyas. “Our focus now is execution and delivering reliable systems that speak performance, not promises.”

Enectron’s leadership team brings together over 40 years of combined experience across renewable energy, power infrastructure, technology development and market growth to accelerate India’s clean energy transition.

  • Vedvyas V – Founder & CEO: 13+ years in renewable energy and energy transition projects across India and Africa.
  • SVS Varma – Director: Expertise in sustainable buildings, bridging technical innovation and financial scalability.
  • Ravi Kiran Ch – Director: Background in power systems engineering, commissioning, and operations.

  • Rocking Deals to oversee Amazon’s (UAE) near-expiry inventory, enhancing sustainability and supply-chain efficiency

Mumbai, 12 November 2025, Wednesday: Rockingdeals Circular Economy Limited (NSE: ROCKINGDCE), India’s leading B2B re-commerce company specialising in excess inventory management, sustainable procurement and circular economy solutions, has reported exceptional financial performance for the half year ended September 30, 2025. The Company posted a consolidated revenue of ₹5,504.56 lakh, registering a robust 157% year-on-year increase, while Profit After Tax (PAT) rose 57% YoY to ₹503.91 lakh,  showcasing continued growth in both revenue and profitability driven by its expanding sustainable retail model and operational efficiency. With a PAT margin of 9.16%, the company continues to demonstrate disciplined financial management and sustainable growth trajectory within India’s evolving circular economy landscape.

The growth reflects heightened demand for open-box, excess, and refurbished inventory, supported by expanding franchise operations, improved sourcing efficiencies, and enhanced cost optimisation across the value chain. Despite ongoing macroeconomic headwinds and supply chain fluctuations, Rockingdeals’ operating model has sustained its momentum—highlighting the company’s resilience and its growing relevance in India’s re-commerce landscape.

A key driver of this momentum is Rockingdeals’ strategic foray into Quick Commerce (Q-Commerce) through its subsidiary Sustainquest Private Limited (SQPL). With a focus on the wholesale and distribution of branded goods, Sustainquest is leveraging technology to accelerate last-mile fulfilment, improve accessibility, and deliver value-driven solutions to consumers across India and abroad. Its entry into this fast-evolving segment strengthens Rockingdeals’ commitment to extending product lifecycles, reducing waste, and making reuse mainstream—reinforcing its position as a pioneer in sustainable retail.

This entry strengthens RDCEL’s commitment to sustainability and its mission of extending product lifecycles through responsible consumption and re-use.  By diversifying into Quick Commerce, Rockingdeals Circular Economy Limited has been strengthening its position as a pioneer in sustainable retail — advancing affordability, accessibility, and environmental responsibility through innovation.

In line with its broader mission of waste reduction and value recovery, Rocking Deals General Trading LLC, a leading liquidation and sustainable commerce company based in Dubai, has signed a strategic agreement with Amazon to save millions of dollars in near-expiry inventory. Under this partnership, Rockingdeals will manage and repurpose products with less than 30% shelf life remaining, ensuring efficient redistribution to vendors, customers, and restaurants capable of consuming them before expiration. This initiative supports both companies’ sustainability goals and significantly reduces wastage across the supply chain.

By leveraging Rockingdeals’ established secondary market network and operational expertise, Amazon will be able to ensure responsible inventory management and recover value from products that would otherwise go unsold.

Aman Preet, Chief Financial Officer, Rockingdeals Circular Economy Limited said, “The first half of FY2025-26 has been a period of growth for Rockingdeals Circular Economy. Our strategy of promoting sustainable consumption and driving re-commerce at scale is showing consistent results. We continue to optimize operations, strengthen our retail footprint, and invest in technology to make circular economy products mainstream in India. With increasing consumer awareness about sustainability, our model of giving products a second life, whether refurbished, returned, or excess inventory, positions Rockingdeals as a key player in India’s transition toward a greener, more circular economy.

As we expand our presence in quick commerce and re-commerce channels, we are committed to building a scalable and sustainable operating model that drives consistent value creation for all stakeholders.”

India’s Karting Prodigy Arafath Sheikh Competes at Prestigious FIA World Cup 2025

India’s Karting Prodigy Arafath Sheikh Competes at Prestigious FIA World Cup 2025

SELANGOR, MALAYSIA — Indian motorsport sensation Arafath Sheikh has made a significant leap to the global stage, proudly representing India at the prestigious FIA Karting World Cup, held from November 14 to 16 at the LYL International Circuit in Selangor. Competing against a global field of talented drivers, Sheikh’s participation marks a momentous occasion for Indian motorsports.

The FIA Karting World Cup’s unique “Arrive and Drive” format provides all competitors with identical karts and engines, leveling the playing field and placing a strong emphasis on pure driver skill. This format played to Sheikh’s strengths, showcasing the exceptional racecraft he has honed throughout his career.

Sheikh earned his spot on Team India after a successful national championship season, which saw him seize numerous victories and demonstrate top-tier performance in the Meco FMSCI Rotax Max National Championship. In a testament to India’s growing talent pool, he joined a contingent of 54 racers from countries around the world.

A Career of National Dominance

Before competing on the world stage, the Pune-based prodigy dominated the Indian karting scene with a string of impressive performances. Representing Crest Motorsports, Sheikh showcased his skills across six rounds of the RMC India 2025 championship, competing in both the junior and senior categories. Despite it being his debut and making him the youngest driver on the senior grid, he secured pole position in the opening round.

Sheikh’s rookie senior season was not without its challenges. During the senior finals of the opening round, he received a penalty for a yellow flag infraction, dropping him from first to 19th. However, displaying remarkable composure and race-craft, he fought his way back to a commendable 6th place finish. Another standout performance occurred in Round 3 in Chennai, where he climbed from 34th on the grid to finish 2nd in a completely wet race.

The 2024 Rotax Max Champion also achieved significant success in the Junior Max category in 2025 season, clinching the Junior Max Rotax Championship title with Crest Motorsports. Though a last-minute rule change for safety reasons at round 2 in coimbatore, he received a DQ inspite finishing P1 with a lead of 10.4 seconds which was accepted by sheikh and received no points which meant he was classified as the 2nd runner-up in the overall standings, his skill and consistency were undeniable. Arafath, who began competing internationally at just seven years old, now boasts an impressive record of 39 national and 9 international podium finishes. Arafath has more than 160 race starts in his career till date making him the top experienced driver the country has.

The Road Ahead

Sheikh’s journey is guided by the experienced team at Crest Motorsports (PUNE) and the mentorship of Mr. Paul Carr, a UK-based legend who once trained Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris. As an academy driver for the Mumbai Falcons racing team, he is focused on continued success and potential ventures into international formula racing.

Speaking on his FIA World Cup debut, Arafath expressed his gratitude. “I would like to thank Mr. Akbar Ebrahim (World CIK President) for his continuous guidance, and Mr. Shyam Kumar, the karting commission for FMSCI India, for having the trust in me to represent our nation,” said Sheikh. “And last but not least, my father, Mr. Sayeed Sheikh, for being part of my motorsports journey”.

The event’s presence in Malaysia has brought global attention to the growth of karting in Asia. For Sheikh, this represents a crucial step in his career, providing invaluable experience on the world stage and further solidifying his position as a rising star in professional motorsports.

PatentProtector.ai Launches to Revolutionize Patent Drafting with Artificial Intelligence

Bhubaneswar, India — [11-11-2025] — Lex Protector, a global intellectual property consulting firm, has officially launched PatentProtector.ai, an AI-powered platform that enables inventors, startups, and professionals to draft provisional patent applications within minutes.

By combining the precision of legal expertise with the intelligence of AI, PatentProtector.ai simplifies the traditionally complex and time-consuming patent drafting process. It allows innovators to describe their inventions in simple terms while the system automatically generates legally formatted patent drafts, including the abstract, description, and claims.

Democratizing Patent Drafting for All

Filing a patent is often seen as a daunting process — filled with legal jargon, technical formalities, and significant costs. Many inventors and small businesses hesitate to protect their ideas due to these challenges. Recognizing this gap, Aurobinda Panda, Founder of Lex Protector, set out to create a solution that would empower innovators at every level.

“We’ve worked with countless inventors who had incredible ideas but lacked the resources or understanding to protect them,” said Aurobinda Panda. “PatentProtector.ai is designed to break those barriers. Our goal is to make patent drafting simple, fast, and affordable — so that innovation never gets left behind.”

A Blend of Law and Technology

PatentProtector.ai is built using a robust technology stack that integrates OpenAI for natural language processing, Lovable for front-end interface development, and Supabase for secure data storage and management.

This combination allows the platform to provide an interactive and intuitive experience where users can draft, edit, and securely store their patent documents — all within a few minutes.

The platform’s AI engine is specifically tuned for intellectual property language, ensuring outputs are legally structured, technically sound, and ready for further review or filing. Unlike generic AI text generators, PatentProtector.ai understands the precise requirements of patent documents and adapts its output accordingly.

Key Features That Set PatentProtector.ai Apart

  • AI-Powered Drafting: Automatically generates complete, well-structured patent drafts based on simple user inputs.

  • Smart Editing Tools: Allow real-time refinement of AI-generated drafts.
  • Secure Infrastructure: Data privacy ensured through encrypted storage powered by Supabase.
  • Global Compatibility: Supports patent drafts aligned with major jurisdictions including the US, UK, EU, and India.

Making Innovation Accessible

PatentProtector.ai is not just a productivity tool — it’s an enabler of innovation. The platform dramatically reduces the time, cost, and effort traditionally required for preparing patent documentation. What once took hours or days can now be completed in minutes with the assistance of artificial intelligence.

“Our platform empowers inventors to focus on creativity and problem-solving rather than paperwork,” added Panda. “Whether you’re a startup founder, an engineer, or a student researcher, PatentProtector.ai helps you protect your ideas faster and more efficiently than ever before.”

The Vision Behind PatentProtector.ai

The inspiration for PatentProtector.ai grew out of years of experience working with global clients at Lex Protector. Panda and his team observed that even in today’s tech-driven world, patent drafting remains a bottleneck in the innovation pipeline.

By leveraging AI, the team sought to bridge the gap between innovation and intellectual property protection, creating a seamless experience that combines accuracy with automation.

PatentProtector.ai marks a significant step toward the future of LegalTech and AI in Intellectual Property, paving the way for more accessible and efficient patenting processes.

Why It’s Different from Other Tools

While there are many AI writing assistants in the market, PatentProtector.ai is purpose-built for patent professionals and inventors. Its domain-specific intelligence sets it apart from generic platforms. The system not only drafts text but also understands the logic, tone, and structure required for legally compliant patent applications.

Furthermore, its technology is supported by continuous feedback learning, enabling improvements in accuracy and language precision with each interaction.

Hyderabad Runs for a Cause: 1,500 Join ‘Mind Over Miles’ 10K to Champion Mental Health

Hyderabad Runs for a Cause: 1,500 Join ‘Mind Over Miles’ 10K to Champion Mental Health

The streets of Hyderabad came alive this Sunday morning as over 1,500 runners gathered at Gachibowli Stadium for the ShreeTMT Hyderabad 10K Run – Mind Over Miles, an inspiring initiative dedicated to promoting mental health awareness through the power of running.

Organized by AD Life Trust in collaboration with Orange Hub Events, the run wasn’t just a race; it was a movement. Under the theme “Prevention is Better than Cure,” the event aimed to highlight the critical connection between physical fitness and mental well-being, particularly at a time when Hyderabad’s Mental Health Quotient (MHQ) ranks among the lowest in India at 58.3, as reported by Sapien Labs (2024).

“This run isn’t about winning; it’s about healing together,” said Dr. Ch. Preeti Reddy, Vice Chairman of Malla Reddy Vishwavidyapeeth, the Chief Guest of the event. “Our youth must understand that taking care of their mind is as vital as taking care of their body. Disconnect from screens, connect with people; that’s where true happiness lies.”

The event also featured a compelling talk by Dr. Rajeevi, MD in Psychiatry and Associate Professor at the Institute of Mental Health, who emphasized how regular exercise, social interaction, and balanced routines can significantly improve mental resilience.

Every participant received a T-shirt, medal, and certificate, but the real reward was the shared sense of solidarity.

“Mental health is the invisible finish line we must all strive to reach. Through this run, we want to show that every step taken for yourself is a step taken for society,” said Ajay Reddy, Director of Orange Hub Events (a brand promoted by Addlife project private limited), expressing his pride in seeing Hyderabad embrace the cause wholeheartedly.

The top finishers in 16 categories were honored with cash prizes, while all sponsors and partners were felicitated for their contributions to the cause. The morning’s atmosphere blended high energy with heartfelt purpose. Music, cheers, and the rhythmic pulse of runners echoed through the stadium.

“As someone who has battled anxiety, running has been my therapy. Today, running alongside hundreds of others who believe in this message made me feel less alone,” shared Suhasini Rao, a participant and software professional from Madhapur, who completed the 10K run with a smile and tears of triumph.

The event was powered by ShreeTMT as the title sponsor, with strong support from Union Bank of India, LIC, Agreekart, V Sparkle, and others. Partners like Skyveda (Hydration), Lemonridge Hotels and Monday Hotels (Hospitality), Malla Reddy Vishwavidyapeeth and Mahindra University (Education), BBR Hospitals and 108 (Health), Timing Technologies (Timing Partner), iFinish (Registration Partner) and Giggle Mug Events (Support Partner) ensured the event ran seamlessly.

The “Mind Over Miles” initiative aligns with AD Life Trust’s five-year strategic focus on mental health awareness across India, highlighting the preventive role of lifestyle, fitness, and community-based interventions. With Hyderabad’s fast-paced urban life taking a toll on emotional well-being, such movements offer hope and a reminder that wellness begins with one mindful step.

As the morning sun rose higher over Gachibowli Stadium, one thing became clear: this was not the end of a run, but the beginning of a movement. The city that runs for tech and progress now runs for mental health, hope, and healing.

Shincheonji Church Produces 60,000 Graduates, Including Over 13,000 Pastors in Four Years

Shincheonji Church Produces 60,000 Graduates, Including Over 13,000 Pastors in Four Years

Zion Christian Mission Center holds the 116th graduation ceremony on Nov. 2 ‘60,000 believers who have mastered the Bible’ has stirred the Christian community “Growing enthusiasm to learn biblical teachings across denominational boundaries”

Shincheonji, Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (Chairman Lee Man-hee), has produced 60,000 believers who have mastered the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.

Shincheonji Church announced that a total of 59,192 people would graduate at the “116th Class Graduation Ceremony of Zion Christian Mission Center” held at Shincheonji Cheongju Church on November 2.

Zion Christian Mission Center is a free Bible education institution that systematically teaches the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation. The center focuses on the prophecies and fulfillment — the core of the Christian Scriptures — and teaches the overall flow of God’s purpose and the Bible. To graduate, students must complete all three levels of courses — introductory, intermediate, and advanced — and score 90 points or higher on a final exam.

Shincheonji Church said, “Although this class went through a strict process, after fully resuming face-to-face classes following the pandemic, the number of graduates has reached 60,000. This shows that the thirst of believers for the truth is spreading across denominations.”

Particularly noteworthy is the increase in pastor graduates. Among the 116th class, there are 2,248 pastors, and the cumulative number of pastors who have graduated over the past four years has exceeded 13,500.

Reflecting this trend, the remarks of a graduate was also given by a former pastor. Mr. Oh Sun-kyung, who had previously founded three churches, said, “At Zion Christian Mission Center, I clearly came to understand the Book of Revelation, which neither seminaries nor churches could teach. Even after reading the Bible more than 30 times, I could not find the answers, but my life has been completely renewed through this Word.”

He added, “I deeply regret not having known this Word when I was a pastor. I will pray for those who still do not understand Revelation and deliver the word I have received. Now we must learn and teach the truth across denominations and without distortion.

Tan Young-jin, Head Director of Zion Christian Mission Center, said, “Shincheonji, which has held four 100,000 Graduation ceremonies, has produced tens of thousands of graduates despite severe persecution and slander. Such revival is possible because God is with us.”

He continued, “Through this educational process, the graduates have grown into spiritually mature believers who have come to understand the true reality of the Bible that even pastors could not learn. The restoration of genuine faith centered on the Word is now taking place.”

Meanwhile, this graduation ceremony is held under the theme “Love, Blessings, and the Light that Shines upon the World” and includes the following program: the national ceremony and congratulatory address, a commemorative speech by Chairman Lee Man-hee, a benediction prayer, the turning of tassels and the presentation of awards and graduation certificates, a graduate’s speech, and a congratulatory performance.
