Future-Ready Education: What Parents Should Look for Beyond Academics

Future-Ready Education: What Parents Should Look for Beyond Academics

New Delhi [India], June 25: As the 202G-2027 academic year begins in earnest, parents all over India find themselves asking a deeper question than the usual about choosing a school or understanding their fee structure: is my child’s school readying them for the present day — or for the one that existed twenty years ago?

It is an important question for parents to be asking. And it matters now more than ever before.

In an era where artificial intelligence continues to disrupt entire industries and automation replaces much of the existing work, the set of skills required is undergoing a radical transformation. According to the World Economic Forum, G5% of children in primary school today will end up working in careers that don’t exist yet. A child who is scoring U5% but lacks the critical capacity to think independently, collaborate in high-pressure situations, and express herself or himself confidently cannot, in truth, be said to be well-prepared.

So what are the things that parents need to keep in mind while evaluating schools — and demand from their schools — during this academic year?

AI literacy

Children today won’t merely have to learn to use technology; they will have to learn to collaborate and co-exist with artificial intelligence. A school that teaches kids how to think computationally and be responsible in their use of technology gives them a head start in dealing with technology critically.

Critical thinking

Information exists aplenty. Wisdom doesn’t. A school that encourages inquiry and analysis over information retention develops the kind of skills that algorithms cannot match.

Creativity

AI can optimize. It cannot create. Schools that integrate project-based learning and design thinking encourage creativity in children.

Communication and Collaboration

While often mistaken for ‘soft skills’, the ability to communicate well and collaborate in teams makes all the difference between implementation and non-implementation of ideas.

Values-based Leadership

Experiential learning makes for better leaders. Schools that make kids take on leadership roles through various councils, houses, and responsibilities in the school community teach them that leadership isn’t something conferred. It is something done with accountability, empathy, and purpose.

At Ortus International School, the 202G-2027 academic year opens with just that spirit: education isn’t just about developing confidence; it is about fostering that confidence along with empathy and compassion. Every classroom, every activity, every leadership opportunity or every experience of falling down and getting back up again — they are the true curriculum.

Results of board exams are important. But raising adults is even more important. This academic year is about holding schools to that standard.

Virtuoso Music Launches India Operations with Creator-First Model

Virtuoso Music Launches India Operations with Creator-First Model

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 25: Virtuoso Music, the UK-headquartered music firm, has launched operations in India, marking its first entry into South Asia.

The company is entering with an integrated model spanning original music creation, rights management, artist development and distribution. Repertoire across Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil and Telugu is already in production, with releases planned for early 2027. Virtuoso says it intends to build meaningfully across Indian music markets.

Virtuoso is introducing creator-first structures designed to better align the interests of creators and partners over the long term. The company believes this approach supports stronger creative relationships, encourages long-term investment in talent and helps build a more sustainable foundation for artists, collaborators and the music they create.

“India is one of the most exciting music markets in the world today, and we believe it will play an increasingly important role in shaping the future of the global music ecosystem,” a Virtuoso senior executive said. “Our focus is on working with exceptional talent, building strong and lasting partnerships, and creating something of enduring value in this market.”

India’s music segment grew 10 percent in 2025 to reach ₹59 billion, according to the FICCI-EY Media and Entertainment Report 2026, with a forecast compound annual growth rate of 9 percent through 2028, taking the market to approximately ₹75 billion. The country had around 178 million audio-streaming users in 2025, with growth driven by streaming adoption, a young mobile-first listener base, and regional-language catalogues with growing international reach. India’s position as one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing music markets has made it a priority for international music companies seeking long-term growth.

Virtuoso will work with talent and rightsholders across the country to develop, manage and release music. The company will invest directly in marketing and release infrastructure behind each project, and will pursue sync licensing, brand partnerships and international placement opportunities to extend the reach of Indian repertoire into global markets. Catalogue management for existing rightsholders will also form part of Virtuoso’s India offering, giving established catalogues access to the company’s rights management and distribution infrastructure.

Virtuoso will announce a first wave of artist and industry partnerships in the coming months, as it continues to build out its presence across the Indian music market.

Market data cited in this release is sourced from the FICCI-EY Media and Entertainment Report 2026.

Rent Before Revenue Is Killing Indian Startups. There’s a Way Out

Rent Before Revenue Is Killing Indian Startups. There’s a Way Out

New Delhi [India], June 23: Most Indian startups do not fail because the idea was wrong. They failed because the money ran out. And a large part of that money was gone before the first customer ever paid, locked into office rent and a fat security deposit.

Around 90 per cent of Indian startups shut down within their first five years, and running out of cash is one of the most common reasons behind it. This is not guesswork. Government data placed before the Lok Sabha shows that more than 6,300 startups recognised under the Startup India programme had shut down by October 2025. Maharashtra led with 1,200 closures, followed by Karnataka at 845 and Delhi at 737. Founders plan for 18 to 24 months of runway and then watch the bank balance run dry in 9 to 12.

Office space is one of the first places that money vanishes, and it happens before a single rupee of revenue comes in.

Take a small team in Delhi. Office rent in the city now averages around 110 rupees per square foot a month.

A modest 1,000 square foot space works out to roughly 1.1 lakh rupees every month. Then comes the deposit. Commercial landlords in India usually ask for two to six months of rent upfront, and in metros, that figure has gone as high as ten. At six months, that is 6.6 lakh rupees sitting frozen in a landlord’s account.

It earns the founder nothing. It comes back only when the lease ends. For an early-stage business, that one signature can be the difference between a nine-month runway and an eighteen-month one.

A virtual office changes the maths. A founder gets a real, GST-valid business address and access to physical meeting space for a small fraction of that cost, with no deposit of several lakhs freezing capital that should be funding the product, the team, and the months of runway that decide whether a company lives or dies.

“We kept meeting founders who had done everything right and still ran out of road,” said Ankur Goel, Founder at Address.co. “When we looked closely, a painful amount of their money was just sitting in a deposit, or going out as rent every month for an office that stayed half empty. That capital belongs in the business. Our goal is simple. We want a million Indian founders to keep it there, so they can keep building.”

The company sees this as bigger than a single service. The real aim is to change how Indian entrepreneurs think about having an office at all. For a long time a physical office was treated as proof that a business was serious. Address.co is betting the next generation of founders will judge seriousness by how well they use their capital, not by how much they spend on an address.

For founders deciding right now whether to sign that lease, the company’s pitch is blunt. Keep the deposit. Build the business.

Address.co will share more on how it plans to reach the 2040 goal in the coming months.

About Address.co

Address.co is one of India’s largest virtual office providers, trusted by more than 22,000 businesses to set up a professional, GST-valid business address without paying for physical office space they do not need. Its customers range from first-time founders to well-known names like Swiggy, HTC, and Saregama. Together, these businesses have kept more than ₹650 crore in working capital out of office rent and deposits, money that stayed inside their businesses instead.

Vitalis International School Launches Parent Partnership Initiative

Vitalis International School Launches Parent Partnership Initiative

New Delhi [India], June 22: At Vitalis International School, we believe that a child’s education is most successful when parents and teachers work together with a shared purpose. With this belief at the heart of everything we do, we are delighted to launch our Parent Partnership Initiative, a new program designed to strengthen the bond between families and the school community.

As we begin our second year, we look back with gratitude at the incredible journey we have shared with our students and parents. Over the past year, we have witnessed not only growth in student enrolment but also the development of meaningful relationships built on trust, communication, and a common commitment to every child’s success.

One thing became very clear to us during our first year: children flourish when the important adults in their lives work together. When parents and teachers communicate openly, support one another, and remain actively involved in a child’s growth, the impact is truly remarkable. The Parent Partnership Initiative is our way of strengthening that collaboration and creating more opportunities for parents to be actively involved in their child’s educational journey.

Through this initiative, parents will have the opportunity to participate in workshops, interactive sessions, parenting seminars, academic discussions, and school events throughout the year. These engagements are designed not only to keep parents informed but also to create meaningful conversations about learning, development, and the overall well-being of every child.

At Vitalis, we see parents as partners, not just participants. Parents are a child’s first teachers, and the values, habits, and confidence developed at home play an essential role in shaping future success. By working closely together, we can ensure that children receive consistent guidance, encouragement, and support both at school and at home.

The initiative also reflects our commitment to holistic education. While academic excellence remains important, we believe that education is equally about building character, confidence, creativity, resilience, and compassion. A strong partnership between home and school helps create an environment where children feel secure, motivated, and inspired to reach their fullest potential.

“Our vision has always been to create a school where every child feels valued, supported, and encouraged to grow,” said the school leadership. “The Parent Partnership Initiative is an extension of that vision. We want every parent to feel connected to their child’s learning journey and to know that we are walking this path together.”

As Vitalis International School continues to grow, we remain committed to building a vibrant and caring learning community where students, parents, and educators support one another. The launch of the Parent Partnership Initiative marks another important step in that journey and reflects our belief that education is most powerful when it is built on strong relationships.

Together, we are not simply educating children–we are shaping confident learners, responsible citizens, and compassionate human beings.

Because when schools and families walk hand in hand, every child has the opportunity to thrive.

Scented Castle Launches Exclusive Country-Themed Perfume Collection Inspired by Global Destinations

Scented Castle Launches Exclusive Country-Themed Perfume Collection Inspired by Global Destinations

Blending premium craftsmanship, luxury-inspired aesthetics, and cultural inspiration, the brand offers fragrance lovers a unique way to experience different parts of the world through scent.

In a highly competitive fragrance industry, Scented Castle has created a concept that goes beyond traditional perfumes.

Each bottle is designed not only to offer a refined fragrance but also to deliver a story that customers can connect with on a deeper level.

As consumers increasingly seek originality and self-expression, Scented Castle is meeting this demand with an innovative approach to perfumery.
