Spearheaded by Mrs. Neerja Birla, Founder and Chairperson of Mpower, ABET, AMP is a significant step forward in helping athletes transform their game and reach championship levels. The launch was marked by an in-conversation between Mrs. Neerja Birla and Mr. Abhinav Bindra, India’s First Olympic Gold Medalist, where they discussed the critical role of mental health training alongside physical training for athletes.

    This initiative has also garnered strong support from legendary sports personalities like Sania Mirza, Abhinav Bindra, Aparna Popat, Pullela Gopichand, and Sourav Ganguly all of whom advocated for a sports environment where mental health is given equal importance to physical endurance and training.

    AMP embodies our commitment to empowering athletes with psychological interventions tailored for performance enhancement, stress management, and mental toughness. Research also reveals that 33.6% of athletes experience symptoms of anxiety and depression, and up to 50% face depression after sport-related concussions. Anxiety disorders affect 21% of athletes, with female athletes nearly twice as likely to suffer from depression compared to their male counterparts. AMP, as part of Mpower, is committed to addressing both sport-specific mental health needs and the overall well-being of athletes, fostering their long-term development through holistic support.

    Speaking at the AMP launch, Neerja Birla, Founder and Chairperson of Mpower, ABET said, “The need for mental health support in sports is critical, as athletes face immense pressure both on and off the field. Internationally, the power to build mental endurance in sports is increasingly recognized, with athletes who prioritize mental conditioning often leading the charge in high performance. Indian athletes like Deepika Kumari and Neeraj Chopra have already begun to highlight the crucial link between mental health and athletic success. By focusing on mental resilience and preparedness, we aim to support athletes to perform at their best, reach new heights in their careers, and win accolades for India on national and international platforms.

Human well-being must be at the heart of performance; it’s the cornerstone of every success story in sport. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Mrs. Birla for her unwavering commitment to mental health in sports. Just as physical training strengthens an athlete’s body, fostering mental resilience shapes a champion’s mindset. As a member of the International Olympic Committee’s working group on Mental Health, I am deeply committed to the cause, ensuring that athletes, their coaches, and sports organizations prioritize the psychological resources necessary for success both on and off the field.”

    The event saw participation from a plethora of voices representing policymakers, investors ratings agencies, global think tanks, business owners, and business leaders. The participants agreed that, today the urgency to tackle climate change has never been greater. Further growth and sustainability need to go hand in hand, in line with India’s ambitious “ViksitBharat” program (or Developed India).

The economy, society, business, and environment don’t exist in isolation -they are part of a system that interacts and influences one another. 

    The discussions and deliberations focussed on opportunities and challenges in making this ESG transition with recognized leaders highlighting cutting-edge programs, initiatives, and best practices

    In the panel discussion titled, ‘Accelerating Green and Inclusive Growth’, panelists agreed that increasingly we will see firms getting measured and judged against their stewardship, net-zero plans, carbon footprints, new green products, and leadership in the transition and hence it would be crucial for companies to align strategy and business models with ESG goals, set transparent and measurable targets, design for circularity, promote green supply chains, adopt nature-based solutions, boost skilling and ensure purpose-driven business growth.

It also captured a wide range of viewpoints, from that of board members, policymakers, providers of finance, investors, and technology leaders.  

    The winners in each of the categories were decided based on a meticulous, data-backed, and objective selection process, and evaluation by an esteemed jury. This was to ensure that deserving achievers and winners were brought to the fore and recognized.

    Speaking on the occasion Yezdi Nagporewalla, CEO, of KPMG in India said “As corporations, both Indian and global grapple with the challenges posed by climate change, social inequality, and governance challenges, integrating ESG principles into business strategies has become imperative, not only for fostering sustainability, but also for driving long-term value creation. At the very core of the ESG Conclave and Awards is our commitment to working towards aiding sustainable capitalism and green initiatives. The awards are a rightful recognition of the achievements of all the awardees, for having demonstrated clearly, that doing good to society and the environment also means doing good to your businesses”

    Sharing her views,  Namrata Rana, National Head of ESG said “ESG principles in Indian boardrooms represent a transformative opportunity for businesses to drive sustainable growth and create long-term value for all stakeholders. By embracing environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and good governance practices, companies can not only mitigate risks and enhance resilience but also seize opportunities for innovation, differentiation, and market leadership. As Indian businesses navigate an increasingly complex and interconnected world, integrating ESG considerations into decision-making processes is essential for building a more sustainable and prosperous future.”

  • Elevating Ayurveda: Why Dr. Chopra Believes It Deserves the Spotlight


    Inauguration of the SoulVeda Wellness and Panchakarma Clinic

    PUNE: Ayurveda needs to be accorded the pride of place it rightly deserves, opined Dr. Madhu Chopra, renowned cosmetologist and holistic wellness advocate. She was speaking at the inauguration of the SoulVeda Wellness and Panchakarma Clinic in Model Colony. The event was hosted by Dr. Jayant Abhyankar, founder of Sharangdhar Pharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd.

    Dr. Chopra shared that she had both an MBBS and an Ayurveda practitioner in her family and has personally witnessed the benefits of Ayurveda. Ayurveda is a science that has been passed down through generations. We must find a balance where we can resort to all kinds of fact-based, science-based medical systems.

    Dr. Jayant Abhyankar, founder of Sharangdhar Pharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd., stated that every medical system has strengths and limitations. Integrated medicine is crucial for people’s overall health. Reflecting on the journey of ‘Sharangdhar,’ he mentioned that they started in 1985 and have observed many changes in people’s perspectives. After COVID, people realized that many health issues cannot be resolved unless we address the root cause, which is why Ayurveda is gaining importance. Healing power and immunity are built into them, and we need to enhance them.

    Earlier, Sharangdhar was solely focused on Ayurveda products, but with ‘SoulVeda,’ they have entered the service industry, offering a complete solution.

    Interacting with a young audience, Dr. Chopra emphasized that everyone is special, and physical appearance should not affect mental health. It should not become a reason for vanity; rather, it should be based on need. Advising to eat seasonal and local foods, Dr. Chopra added that a consistent regimen of exercise, meditation, and a healthy, nutritious diet has helped her maintain a high energy level

  • Revolutionizing Life Sciences: Honeywell’s Advanced Quality Management Review Application Unveiled

    Honeywell Quality Management Review helps manufacturers boost efficiency and quality compliance

    INDIA: Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) has announced the launch of Honeywell Quality Management Review (HQMR), a new application designed to significantly improve oversight of quality management systems (QMS) in the life sciences industry. By digitalizing and optimizing operations to increase productivity, the application supports Honeywell’s alignment of its portfolio to three compelling megatrends, including automation.

    The traditional Quality Management Review (QMR) process is essential for regulatory compliance in the life sciences industry, but it can often be time-consuming, costly, and labor-intensive. To streamline the QMR process, Honeywell developed HQMR by removing inefficiencies and delivering near real-time intelligent insights for management.

    “Quality Management Review is crucial for assessing the effectiveness and performance of an organization’s quality system and, ultimately, helping manufacturers deliver the best and safest products possible,” said Martin Dowdall, vice president and general manager of connected life sciences at Honeywell. “This new solution helps transform the traditional QMR process into a more insightful and actionable practice, ensuring organizations adhere to regulatory guidelines with ease.”

    The HQMR solution is designed to meet the needs of modernized manufacturers by providing streamlined processes and intelligent workflows. These enhancements allow operators to make better-informed decisions while also reducing the time and resources required to analyze data. With HQMR, users can also consolidate and summarize data from different sites to create a high-level overview that helps executives assess overall QMS performance across multiple facilities.

    Life sciences verticals including pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and biotechnology can benefit from enhanced quality compliance and efficiency with Honeywell’s ready-now Quality Management Software.

    “The HQMR app already shows outstanding potential to reduce cycle times in generating management review presentations and standardizing the reports,” said Emilia Castellucci, Group Head of Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs at Inspiration Healthcare, an early adopter of HQMR. “The solution’s features integrate easily and repeatably with other business management systems and have quickly proven to provide better quality of data vs our current system.”
