Satya Dev Tiwari, MD & CEO at Voll Sante Satya Dev Tiwari, MD & CEO at Voll Sante Functional Foods & Nutraceuticals Pvt.

The Air Quality Index (AQI) regularly crosses 400–500 (anything above 300 is considered “severe”).

New Delhi [India], December 2: India stands at an inflexion point in its battle with obesity. For many years, obesity remained peripheral to mainstream clinical focus, overshadowed by diabetes, cardiovascular disease and chronic respiratory illness.

New Delhi [India], December 1: There was a time when mornings carried a lightness of being — when breathing in fresh air felt energizing, when choosing vegetables from the neighbourhood market brought a quiet assurance, and when food symbolised nourishment rather than doubt. Today, however, many families across India find themselves living in an environment where every breath feels heavier and every meal demands scrutiny. Between rising pollution and widespread food adulteration, a silent shift has reshaped the country’s relationship with safety. It is within this shift that the Haldiva Purity Movement has emerged as a message of calm amidst chaos. Pollution and adulteration — a double blow to health Air pollution in India has long transcended mere discomfort. Findings from leading health ...

This article looks at the broad intent of the new framework and what it may mean for employer-backed group cover in India. How the New IRDAI Framework Sets the Tone Through its latest master circular on health insurance, IRDAI has pulled earlier guidance into one document and nudged insurers towards policies that are more transparent, more inclusive, and more service-focused. The overall direction is...
