Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], October 2: Some entrepreneurial journeys begin with a new idea, while others grow from a foundation built by the previous generation. For Nitesh Agarwal, Director of M R STEEL (INDIA) Pvt Ltd, leadership has meant carrying forward a family business while continuously exploring how it can evolve with changing industrial requirements. The story of M R STEEL began in 1987, when Nitesh Agarwal’s father, Mr. Meghraj Agarwal, started the business with an initial loan of ₹50,000 received from a relative. What began as a modest enterprise was gradually developed through persistence, customer relationships, disciplined business practices and a strong focus on service. Nearly four decades later, the organisation has grown into a business generating more than ₹100 cr...

New Delhi [India], October 1: Most payment platforms in India compete on features, speed of onboarding and merchant numbers. MPay by MMADPay, a fintech payment platform focused on digital payments and merchant payment solutions, has followed a different path – one shaped by years of running systems where failure carries real consequences and compliance is non-negotiable. The foundation of that path is the company’s long association with IRCTC. Since 2018, MMAD Communications has served as the Technical Service Provider for IRCTC’s iPay platform. The role is demanding. Indian Railways processes one of the country’s largest volumes of digital transactions, with sharp peaks during festival seasons, Tatkal windows and sudden demand surges. Passengers expect the system to work the first time...

New Delhi [India], October 1: For decades, oral diagnostics relied heavily on two-dimensional film projection – a method that essentially compressed complex, three-dimensional human anatomy into a flat shadow. In modern clinical practice, treating an impacted tooth or a curved root canal using only 2D radiographs is akin to navigating a complex highway exchange with a two-dimensional map: critical spatial depth is entirely lost. The integration of advanced digital imaging has fundamentally altered this paradigm. By providing high-resolution, volumetric data of sub-surface structures, digital modalities allow clinicians to shift from reactive intervention to predictive, highly targeted treatment planning. At the forefront of this evolution is Fredna Dental Systems (FDS), India’s largest ...

Walk into a mall, restaurant, retail store, cinema or real-estate experience centre and chances are you will encounter a digital screen. They are everywhere.

Founded by Sanya Jindal and Virkaran Singh, SpotX is a SaaS platform designed to turn distributed screen networks into intelligent, measurable and centrally managed...
