India on right track to build hydrogen market ecosystem: IGX CEO

by Inkhabar webdesk
written by Inkhabar webdesk

New Delhi [India], September 25 (ANI): India is progressing steadily towards building a robust green hydrogen market, supported by policy direction, growing investment interest, and early price discovery, Rajesh Kumar Mediratta, Managing Director and CEO of Indian Gas Exchange (IGX), said on Thursday.

“When a new segment or new commodity is coming into the system, the first thing that happens is that you need investments in the sector and that comes only through long-term contracts. So this is what the process started,” he said on the sidelines of the World Hydrogen India Summit in New Delhi.

Mediratta outlined the natural evolution of commodity markets, stressing that hydrogen will follow a similar trajectory.

He said that those contracts are being initiated, some demand is coming in, and some supply is shaping up.

“As this will grow over a period of time, prices will start coming down,” he added

According to Mediratta, the development of a mature market typically starts with bilateral long-term agreements–monthly, six-month, or annual contracts. As volumes grow and market participation increases, the need for short-term and flexible trading arises. “That’s when exchange-based trading becomes relevant. Exchanges bring transparency, flexibility, and efficient price discovery. Consumers, for instance, want the option to buy for a day, a week, or a month, depending on their needs,” he explained.

Mediratta said that once a reliable spot market is established, the foundation is laid for futures and derivatives to develop around the discovered prices, further deepening the market. IGX is currently studying international models to help define a suitable price benchmark for green hydrogen in India.

He cited examples from Europe, including Austria’s Green Hydrogen Index from Central European Gas Hub (CEGH), Germany’s Hydrix benchmark on the European Energy Exchange (EEX), and the High Clicks index from the Netherlands. “Each model uses a different formula. We are analysing these to understand what would work best for India,” he added.

On the supply side, Mediratta noted that India’s planned 500 GW of renewable energy capacity, primarily solar and wind, would generate ample surplus electricity, especially during solar hours, which can be used for hydrogen production via electrolysis.

“This excess power won’t always be consumed within the grid. Producing hydrogen allows us to store and export that energy without any risk to India’s energy security,” he said. He also dismissed concerns about water availability, noting that seawater can be desalinated and used for hydrogen production, making it a sustainable option with no hard limits.

Mediratta said early signs in the market are encouraging, with recent tenders indicating strong interest and improving price discovery. “We are seeing good prices for green ammonia and green nitrogen. While these aren’t the lowest prices yet, the trajectory is promising. Over the next one to two years, we expect prices to become more competitive and acceptable to the market,” he said.

He concluded by stating that India is on the right path and that the hydrogen ecosystem is progressing well across all fronts, including technology, policy, and market development. (ANI)

Dr Pravin Sankhwar Honored with Lifetime Achievement Award for Pioneering Work in Power Distribution and EV Research

by Inkhabar webdesk
written by Inkhabar webdesk

PNN

New Delhi [India], September 25: Yet another time, the excellence attained from high accomplishments from leading and renowned experts in electrical power distribution came to the limelight from Dr. (hon.)Pravin Sankhwar won the Exceptional Leadership (Lifetime Achievement Award) in August 2025. Previously in 2024, Pravin Sankhwar won the Global Recognition Award, the Titan Award, & Stevie Award for his outstanding research and original contributions in the electrical power industry through his impact from participation through published research journal papers, books, and professional societies as a leading professional. His research in “Evaluation of transition to 100% electric vehicles (EVs) by 2052 in the United States” elaborates on how the transition would look in the power industry from large-scale adoption of modern loads such as electric vehicles.

The concepts proposed by Pravin’s research in energy management in modern power systems and using the DC power distribution system to solve the power resilience for rural and urban areas have received widespread attention during international conferences by Hubbell at Nashville, TN. The registered patent on power distribution system further validates how modern power distribution can be reshaped into small DC power systems by eliminating losses from DC to AC and AC to DC conversion cycles. Widespread attention from industry experts in the power engineering industry and business owners in rural India resulted in the implementation by the largest marriage hall “Moti Mahal Mandapam” at Akbarpur Kanpur, Dehat, for a resilient power system.

Lifetime accomplishments conferred with Honorary Doctorate not only commence from his decade-long industry experience and influence but also from the very beginning, from deep roots while gaining education at Malaviya National Institute of Technology in 2011. Having obtained B Tech in Electrical Engineering from an institution of national importance had allowed Pravin to contribute towards the energy sector in India when starting his career with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL). Together with his innovative excellence achieved working for HPCL and securing an academic position as a Master’s student in Michigan Technological University, Pravin’s global impact increased to the next level. Later he contributed to United States economy between 2018-2025 by working for global organizations such as WSP USA Inc. Being a licensed professional engineer with notable engagement with infrastructure projects in United States for electrical power distribution systems design in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings elevated him to become a leading professional. His winning these prestigious awards has drawn many cover stories in magazines such as Passion Vista for “Men Leaders to Look up to in 2024”, Passionate Magazine for “Professional Electrical Engineer’, and Business Frontier for “Foundations of Future: Designing Resilient and Intelligent Systems”.

The research by Pravin Sankhwar, published in Sustainable Energy Research, highlights the importance of gaining energy efficiency from the use of electric vehicles: “Modelling a transportation system wherein the majority of consumers rely on public transportation systems promises reduced consumption of EVs, thereby reducing energy consumption and, thus, demand. So, a modern transportation system must strive towards energy efficiency by growing means of sharing resources.” Pravin has also laid out the foundations of electrical safety from large-scale development of EV Charging hubs by clearly laying out the design as: “Let us consider 1000 customers visit each hub per day, and each customer utilises around 100 kWh during an ultra or hyper charging session. By addition of five ultra-fast chargers and six hyper-fast chargers, an installed capacity of ~3kW requires a BESS of ~15.6kW to supply three days of energy for 1000 customers. An additional 2 days of storage may be supplied back to the grid when BESS acts as a DG source.” And power schematics for residential power as presented during the IEEE Committee meetings in September 2025. In the power schematics, the operability of DC systems using electric vehicles as a source of power during power deficit from the grid or during outages is a direct implementation of Pravin’s patent.

How Pravin has engaged in shaping the industry standards is visible from his participation as a Principal Member with the IEEE Standards Association. Pravin is the listed committee member in the recent NESC Preprint, a standard adopted across the world for power systems design and application. Pravin Sankhwar’s books on electric vehicles and electrification are available in major libraries in the US. Ms Book Thief, the largest book blogger, has interviewed and appraised Pravin’s work with a high rating and commented, “From navigating regulatory frameworks to addressing range anxiety and the need for standardisation across charging networks, the author provides a balanced view of both the opportunities and hurdles in this space.” Additionally, Indian Book Critics comments on use case of Pravin’s work: “The book is particularly significant for the Indian market. With the government’s focus on initiatives like “Make in India” and its ambitious targets for EV adoption, Sankhwar’s insights into rural electrification and entrepreneurial opportunities are invaluable. The detailed plan for launching an electric scooter company demonstrates the author’s commitment to fostering innovation and growth within the Indian EV ecosystem.”

Pravin’s recommendations for improving the future of the power industry come from notable words: “Electrical safety at the workplace is of prime importance to me, and when designing electrical systems, extreme care is required to eliminate any safety hazards.” For young professionals, I encourage them to keep consistency and read research articles frequently to make informed decisions in both careers and while implementing ideas in the workplace.”

Dr. Pratik Patil's Relentless Pursuit of Hope in Cancer Care

by Inkhabar webdesk
written by Inkhabar webdesk

Connplex Cinemas Launches 83rd Screen with New Hyderabad Cinema in Telangana

SMPL

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], September 25: As September ushers in Cancer Awareness Month, it also brings with it stories of resilience, breakthroughs, and hope. In Pune, one story shines particularly bright–that of Dr. Pratik Patil, a renowned oncologist whose career has been defined not only by cutting-edge medicine but also by a deeply human approach to care.

A Life Committed to Oncology

Dr. Pratik Patil’s journey into oncology was not a mere professional choice; it was a calling. After completing his DM in Medical Oncology from New Delhi, he pursued advanced training in Thoracic Oncology from Michigan State Cancer University, USA followed by which he did his Cancer Immunotherapy fellowship from harvard Medical School, USA. His academic path took him across continents, but his heart has always been rooted in India, where he returned to serve communities with limited access to advanced cancer care.

Today, he is recognized as a leading consultant oncologist and hematologist at Jupiter Hospital Pune. His expertise spans a vast spectrum–from solid tumors like breast, lung, and ovarian cancers to hematologic conditions like lymphoma, leukemia, and multiple myeloma.

Bridging Science and Compassion

What truly distinguishes Dr. Patil is his ability to balance rigorous clinical practice with empathy. “Cancer is not just a disease of the body–it affects the mind, the family, and even the community,” he often emphasizes. His patients echo this sentiment, frequently describing him not just as a doctor, but as a guiding presence who restores hope when the journey seems darkest.

In an era where oncology can feel overwhelmingly technical, his clinic is built around human connection. He takes time to explain each treatment plan, empower patients with knowledge, and ensure families feel supported at every step.

Personalized cancer Care: Precision Oncology

* Personalized treatment plans in cancer involve tailoring therapies based on the unique genetic, molecular, and environmental characteristics of an individual’s cancer (biopsy sample.

* This approach uses advanced technologies like genomic profiling to identify specific mutations, biomarkers, and molecular features of the tumor, allowing doctors to select the most effective treatments–such as targeted therapies, immunotherapies, or chemotherapy regimens–designed to directly address the patient’s specific cancer type.

* Treating cancer today as a blanket protocol is not done. every individual responds differently to the treatment hence genetic personalization is a necessity today.

Why is Precision Oncology Important?

1. Improved Treatment Efficacy: By targeting the specific mutations or characteristics of the cancer, treatments can be more effective, leading to better outcomes and fewer side effects compared to traditional methods.

2. Minimizing Side Effects: Targeted therapies are designed to be more specific in their action, meaning they’re less likely to harm healthy cells. hence fewer side effects.

3. Personalized Approach: Every cancer is unique, and precision oncology recognizes that the same type of cancer in different patients can behave very differently based on their genetic makeup. By customizing treatment plans, precision oncology ensures each patient gets the most appropriate therapy.

4. Helps with Treatment Resistance:Cancer cells can develop resistance to certain treatments over time. With precision oncology, doctors can monitor changes in the cancer’s genetic makeup and modify treatment plans before the cancer becomes fully resistant.

Challenges and Limitations of Precision Oncology:

* Not All Cancers Have Targetable Mutations hence in some cancers chemotherapy is the only option.

* Cost and Accessibility: Precision oncology tests, like next-generation sequencing, can be expensive, and not all patients have access to these tests or treatments, especially in lower-resource settings.

* Tumor Heterogeneity: Tumors can change over time, and not all cells within a tumor may carry the same mutations, which can make treatment challenging.

* Resistance to Targeted Therapies: Over time, cancer cells can evolve and develop resistance to targeted therapies, which may require switching to new drugs or treatment strategies.

The Future of Precision Oncology:

* Improved Testing: As technology advances, genetic profiling is becoming more accessible, and the scope of testable genes is expanding.

* Broader Targeted Treatments: New therapies are continuously being developed to target a wider range of mutations and cancers.

* Integration with Artificial Intelligence: AI is expected to further improve how genetic data is analyzed, helping to identify new treatment options and predict patient outcomes with even greater precision.

September: A Month for Awareness and Action

Every year, September’s Cancer Awareness Month serves as a reminder that awareness saves lives. Cancers detected early are often curable, yet lack of awareness and stigma continue to delay diagnosis in India. Dr. Patil believes this month is not just symbolic, but a call to action.

In his clinics, September is marked by educational outreach–from awareness talks to one-on-one patient counseling. “The earlier a patient comes, the better we can treat them,” he stresses. His advocacy includes encouraging regular screenings, promoting preventive lifestyles, and addressing myths that often deter people from seeking help.

Looking Beyond Treatment: Holistic Care

Cancer affects more than the body–it impacts livelihoods, mental health, and families. Recognizing this, Dr. Patil integrates counseling, nutritional advice, and psychological support into his practice. He collaborates with multi-disciplinary teams to ensure no patient feels alone, reinforcing the belief that cancer care must be comprehensive and compassionate.

Final Thoughts

Dr. Pratik Patil embodies what modern oncology strives to be–a seamless blend of science, empathy, and advocacy. As Cancer Awareness Month unfolds, his story serves as both inspiration and reminder: while cancer remains a formidable foe, the fight is far from hopeless. With leaders like him at the forefront, every patient gains not only treatment but also renewed courage.

Suman Brothers Consultancy Carves a Niche in Overseas Education Sector with Integrity and Transparency

by Inkhabar webdesk
written by Inkhabar webdesk

VMPL

New Delhi [India], September 25: Suman Brothers Consultancy, under the guidance of its Director Dr. Saurabh Suman, has become a company that Indian students can trust when seeking to gain higher education in a foreign nation. The consultancy has negotiated directly with recognized Universities in Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Uzbekistan, Malta and Poland; this has seen it become a transparent and trustworthy company in an environment where there are intermediaries and unqualified players.

The business was established in 2021 when Dr. Suman was a medical student in Ukraine. The ethos of the company is based on his own experience. He did not receive any seat in NEET and was struggling with finances in the private medical colleges of India, and instead chose Ukraine. There, he saw himself on the front line of consultancies deceiving students and then abandoning them penniless after spending a large sum of money. This compelled him to set up his own company with the objective of protecting middle-class families against this kind of exploitation.

Currently, the transparency of operations makes Suman Brothers Consultancy credible. Other consultancies will add some fees or require extra money as part of visas and accommodation, whereas in Dr. Suman’s firm, students pay their fees straight to universities. Formal agreements with 10-12 institutions are openly displayed on the company page and social media platforms, which is the attribute that distinguishes the consultancy from other areas of the industry often tarnished with falsehood. The consultancy has, over the years, increased its affiliations to various universities in Europe and Central Asia and has been able to establish a reputation for reliability.

The leadership of Dr. Suman is not confined to business alone but also extends to advocacy and service to people. Soon before the Russia-Ukraine conflict deteriorated in February 2022, he warned the Prime Minister’s Office about the severity of the situation. The Indian Embassy also issued warnings to students in preparation for evacuation within a few days. More significantly, his contributions to the government regarding supposed Pakistani influence in Kyrgyz universities, just over a week ago, demonstrated his dual focus: the need to protect students and national interests.

There have been challenges in the growth path of the consultancy. Developing trust among students and forming partnerships with universities would not come easily, especially at the beginning. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine were additional obstacles. Nevertheless, Dr. Suman used his academic qualification, having completed his MBBS in 2023 and passing the FMGE in 2024, to boost student and family trust. His experience highlights the focus of the consultancy both on professional skills and individual integrity.

Since its head office, the company has taken over student placements in various geographies and has direct connections with three universities in Georgia, two in Kyrgyzstan, one in Uzbekistan, and one in Russia. Thus, this will serve the increasing needs of Indian students who are looking to acquire cheap but quality education in a foreign country, specifically in medicine. The model does not just bridge the gap between academics but also introduces a sense of accountability to a sector where student welfare is often a secondary consideration.

In the future, Dr. Suman sees the opportunity to take operations to greater heights without compromising the original values of the consultancy, such as honesty and transparency. He often tells learners to beware of fraudulent agents and to keep in touch with the Indian embassies regularly when they are in other countries. His message to young people dwells on the principle of integrity as the fundamental basis of development, whether in business or nation-building.

With personal experience, professional success, and patriotic duty, Suman Brothers Consultancy has set a growth path that redefines the business of overseas education. The transparent manner in which the firm conducts its business is an indication of a new age in the industry where integrity will be the ultimate currency.

Having returned to India to pursue business education at ISB, worked on cutting-edge innovations in cloud, fintech and IoT, including his stint with the Union Government’s 100 Smart Cities Mission, which reinforced his conviction that dignified mobility is central to urban livability.

The response has been significant, with 5,000+ enquiries from 18 countries, underscoring global interest in a product designed in India for the realities of emerging markets.

With a strong pipeline of orders and a differentiated approach, iGo trikes are poised to be shining stars in an otherwise monotonous & crowded EV space.

Ranchi (Jharkhand) [India], September 25: In a decisive step to reimagine healthcare education, Mahadevi Birla Institute of Nursing and Clinical Technology at Sarala Birla University (SBU), Ranchi, will host Eastern India’s first Center of Excellence for Immersive Nursing Experience in partnership with MediSim VR. The Centre–to be set up on SBU’s campus–will act as a pioneering hub for integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Virtual Reality (VR) into nursing education, shaping a new generation of globally competitive healthcare professionals.

The announcement follows a breakthrough seminar conducted by MediSim VR at Sarala Birla University, where the Vice Chancellor, nursing leadership, faculty, and students experienced first-hand how immersive technologies are redefining the future of healthcare training. The university’s leadership responded with overwhelming support and will be signing the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish the Centre at SBU.

The Center of Excellence at Sarala Birla University will serve as a state-first and region-first VR hub, equipping nursing students with simulation-based training that enhances clinical competence within a short period of usage of this AI-VR, improves decision-making skills, and helps them interact with virtual patients in the right manner. This initiative of SBU will contribute to accelerating the transformational vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which emphasises the integration of frontier technologies to build world-class, future-ready learning ecosystems.

Prof. (Dr.) Jeganathan Chockalingam, Vice Chancellor, Sarala Birla University, said, “Sarala Birla University is proud to initiate measures towards establishing Eastern India’s first Center of Excellence for Immersive Nursing Experience in partnership with MediSim VR. This initiative directly reflects NEP 2020’s progressive vision and places our students at the forefront of healthcare innovation. By embracing AI and VR with MediSim VR’s expertise, we are not just enhancing learning–we are shaping the future of healthcare towards a developed India. This Centre will be a model that other institutions across India and beyond can emulate.”

Sabarish Chandrasekaran, Co-founder and CEO, MediSim VR, said, “This partnership with Sarala Birla University is not just a regional milestone–it’s a national statement on the future of healthcare education. By embedding AI and VR in nursing training, we are closing skill gaps, advancing experiential learning, and building resilient healthcare systems. India, through initiatives like this, is signalling its intent to lead the world in technology-driven healthcare education and workforce transformation.”

The Center of Excellence at SBU is envisioned as a scalable model for India, with MediSim VR and the university committed to replicating similar centres across other regions. By embedding immersive technologies at the institutional level, India is accelerating its shift towards experiential, technology-enabled healthcare education and consolidating its position as a global leader in healthcare innovation.
