एक मोबाइल-फर्स्ट स्टोरीटेलिंग प्लेटफॉर्म, जो भारतीय लोककथाओं, पौराणिक कथाओं, क्षेत्रीय किंवदंतियों और समकालीन ड्रामा को नई पीढ़ी के दर्शकों तक पहुंचाने का लक्ष्य रखता है।

नई दिल्ली, भारत: ऐसे दौर में, जब दर्शक तेजी से अपने मोबाइल स्क्रीन पर मनोरंजन की दुनिया तलाश रहे हैं, THE DRAMA LOK एक विशिष्ट सोच और बड़े विज़न के साथ डिजिटल एंटरटेनमेंट की दुनिया में प्रवेश की तैयारी कर रहा है—एक ऐसा आधुनिक स्टोरीटेलिंग यूनिवर्स, जिसकी प्रेरणा भारत की सांस्कृतिक आत्मा से ली गई है।

मोबाइल-फर्स्ट और शॉर्ट-फॉर्म एंटरटेनमेंट प्लेटफॉर्म के रूप में तैयार किया जा रहा THE DRAMA LOK, भारतीय लोककथाओं, पौराणिक कथाओं, क्षेत्रीय किंवदंतियों, लोक रहस्यों, प्रेम कहानियों, ऐतिहासिक कथाओं और समकालीन ड्रामा को एक साथ लाने का लक्ष्य रखता है। इन कहानियों को आज के डिजिटल दर्शकों के लिए आकर्षक, सिनेमाई और एपिसोडिक फॉर्मेट में प्रस्तुत किया जाएगा।

प्लेटफॉर्म के पीछे एक सरल लेकिन मजबूत विश्वास है:

“भारत में कहानियों की कभी कमी नहीं रही—ज़रूरत सिर्फ उन्हें नए अंदाज़ में सुनाने की है।”

प्लेटफॉर्म की ओरिजिनल कंटेंट रणनीति केवल मौजूदा कहानियों के रूपांतरण तक सीमित नहीं होगी। THE DRAMA LOK भारत की समृद्ध लोक-कल्पना से प्रेरित ओरिजिनल आईपी विकसित करने की भी योजना बना रहा है, जिसमें सुपरनैचुरल थ्रिलर, फोक-हॉरर मिस्ट्री, रोमांटिक लीजेंड्स और फैंटेसी एडवेंचर्स शामिल होंगे।

इस स्टोरीटेलिंग यूनिवर्स के लिए वर्तमान में विकसित किए जा रहे ओरिजिनल कॉन्सेप्ट्स में प्रमुख फैंटेसी प्रोजेक्ट “The Last Folklore Keeper” भी शामिल है। यह एक ऐसी दुनिया की कहानी है, जहाँ भारत की भूली-बिसरी लोककथाएँ अचानक जीवित होने लगती हैं।

THE DRAMA COMPANY की टीम ने कहा, “भारत के हर क्षेत्र में ऐसी कहानियाँ हैं, जो पीढ़ियों से गीतों, रंगमंच, मौखिक परंपराओं, परिवारों और समुदायों के माध्यम से आगे बढ़ती रही हैं। THE DRAMA LOK के माध्यम से हमारा प्रयास है कि हम इस अद्भुत कहानी विरासत को उसकी आत्मा को बनाए रखते हुए एक आधुनिक मनोरंजन फॉर्मेट में नई पीढ़ी तक पहुंचाएं।”

प्लेटफॉर्म विभिन्न प्रकार की कंटेंट कैटेगरी को एक्सप्लोर करेगा, जिनमें शामिल हैं:

  • LOK KATHA — पारंपरिक लोककथाएँ और किंवदंतियाँ
  • LOK RAHASYA — लोक-हॉरर, अलौकिक रहस्य और थ्रिलर
  • LOK PREM — कालातीत प्रेम कहानियाँ और भावनात्मक कथाएँ
  • LOK VEER — लोक नायक, योद्धा और साहस की गाथाएँ
  • LOK DEV — पौराणिक कथाएँ, रहस्यवाद और आध्यात्मिक कहानियाँ
  • LOK AAJ — आधुनिक भारत की भावनाओं और संघर्षों से प्रेरित समकालीन कहानियाँ

शुरुआती चरण में THE DRAMA LOK का मुख्य फोकस शॉर्ट एपिसोडिक और मोबाइल-नेटिव स्टोरीटेलिंग पर होगा। कहानियों को मजबूत किरदारों, गहरे भावनात्मक जुड़ाव, प्रभावशाली हुक्स और हाई-एंगेजमेंट क्लिफहैंगर्स के साथ तैयार किया जाएगा।

इस कंटेंट रणनीति का उद्देश्य डिजिटल-फर्स्ट दर्शकों को आकर्षित करना है, साथ ही भारत की सांस्कृतिक कहानी परंपराओं से जुड़े बहु-पीढ़ीगत भावनात्मक जुड़ाव को भी नई पहचान देना है।

THE DRAMA LOK एक मजबूत रीजनल स्टोरीटेलिंग रणनीति की भी कल्पना करता है। आने वाले समय में प्लेटफॉर्म भारत के विभिन्न हिस्सों की लोककथाओं और ओरिजिनल कहानियों को एक्सप्लोर करेगा, जिनमें बिहार, उत्तर प्रदेश, पंजाब, हरियाणा, राजस्थान, बंगाल, महाराष्ट्र, गुजरात, दक्षिण भारत और पूर्वोत्तर भारत शामिल हैं।

इन कहानियों को केवल भाषा के आधार पर प्रस्तुत करने के बजाय, प्लेटफॉर्म का उद्देश्य स्थानीय संस्कृति, संगीत, भूगोल, किरदारों और मौखिक परंपराओं से प्रेरित अलग-अलग रीजनल स्टोरीटेलिंग वर्ल्ड्स तैयार करना है।

THE DRAMA LOK का बड़ा उद्देश्य एक मजबूत भारतीय स्टोरी आईपी इकोसिस्टम विकसित करना है, जहाँ सफल कहानियाँ और किरदार भविष्य में कई मनोरंजन फॉर्मेट्स में विस्तार पा सकें—जैसे मोबाइल-फर्स्ट ड्रामा, लॉन्ग-फॉर्म सीरीज़, ऑडियो स्टोरीटेलिंग, संगीत, पब्लिशिंग, लाइसेंसिंग और अन्य एंटरटेनमेंट एक्सटेंशंस।

टीम ने आगे कहा, “हम खुद को सिर्फ एक कंटेंट लाइब्रेरी बनाने वाली संस्था के रूप में नहीं देखते। हमारा फोकस ऐसी कहानियाँ, किरदार और दुनिया बनाने पर है, जिनसे दर्शक जुड़ सकें और जिनके पास वे बार-बार लौटना चाहें। हमारा दीर्घकालिक विज़न एक ऐसा स्टोरीटेलिंग यूनिवर्स बनाना है, जहाँ भारत की सांस्कृतिक स्मृति और आधुनिक रचनात्मकता एक साथ मौजूद हो सकें।”

THE DRAMA LOK की ब्रांड पहचान भी इसी सोच को दर्शाती है। इसकी विज़ुअल लैंग्वेज थिएटर, विरासत, रहस्य और भावनाओं से प्रेरित है, जिसमें डार्क सिनेमैटिक टोन, एंटीक गोल्ड, डीप रेड और भारतीय प्रतीकात्मक डिज़ाइन एलिमेंट्स का समावेश होगा।

टैगलाइन:

कहानी हर दिल की

THE DRAMA LOK भारतीय डिजिटल एंटरटेनमेंट के लिए एक नई सोच का प्रतिनिधित्व करता है—जहाँ भूली हुई किंवदंतियाँ नए दर्शकों तक पहुंच सकती हैं, क्षेत्रीय कहानियाँ भौगोलिक सीमाओं से आगे बढ़ सकती हैं और आधुनिक कहानियाँ उन कालातीत कथाओं के साथ मौजूद रह सकती हैं, जिन्होंने पीढ़ियों को प्रभावित किया है।

THE DRAMA COMPANY Announces Its Vision To Build A New Digital Home For India’s Stories, Folklore And Modern Drama

A mobile-first storytelling platform set to bring Indian folklore, mythology, regional legends and contemporary drama together for a new generation of viewers.

New Delhi, India: In an era where audiences are increasingly discovering entertainment through their mobile screens, THE DRAMA LOK is preparing to enter the digital entertainment space with a distinctive vision: to build a modern storytelling universe inspired by the cultural soul of India.

Conceived as a mobile-first, short-form entertainment platform, THE DRAMA LOK aims to bring together Indian folklore, mythology, regional legends, folk mysteries, romance, historical narratives and contemporary drama in an engaging, cinematic and episodic format designed for today’s digital audience.

At the heart of the platform is a simple belief:

“India has never lacked stories—it needs new ways to tell them.”

The platform’s original content vision will also extend beyond adaptations. THE DRAMA LOK plans to develop a slate of original IP inspired by India’s folk imagination, including supernatural thrillers, folk-horror mysteries, romantic legends and fantasy adventures.

Original concepts currently being developed for the storytelling universe include the flagship fantasy concept, “The Last Folklore Keeper,” a story built around a world where forgotten Indian folk tales begin to come alive.

Every region of India has stories that have travelled through generations—through songs, theatre, oral traditions, families and communities. THE DRAMA LOK is our attempt to bring that incredible storytelling heritage into a contemporary entertainment format without losing its soul,” said the team behind THE DRAMA LOK.

The platform will explore a broad range of content categories, including:

LOK KATHA Traditional folklore and legends
LOK RAHASYA Folk horror, supernatural mysteries and thrillers
LOK PREM Timeless romances and emotional stories
LOK VEER Folk heroes, warriors and legends of courage
LOK DEV Mythology, mysticism and spiritual narratives
LOK AAJ Contemporary stories inspired by the emotions and conflicts of modern India

 

With an initial focus on short episodic and mobile-native storytelling, THE DRAMA LOK intends to create stories structured around strong characters, emotional hooks and high-engagement cliffhangers. The content strategy is designed to appeal to a digital-first audience while also drawing on the multi-generational familiarity and emotional connection associated with India’s cultural storytelling traditions.

THE DRAMA LOK also envisions a strong regional storytelling strategy, gradually exploring folklore and original stories from different parts of the country, including Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Bengal, Maharashtra, Gujarat, South India and the Northeast.

Rather than positioning these stories simply by language, the platform aims to build distinct regional storytelling worlds rooted in local culture, music, landscapes, characters and oral traditions.

The larger ambition is to build an Indian Story IP ecosystem, where successful properties can potentially evolve across multiple formats—from mobile-first drama and long-form series to audio storytelling, music, publishing, licensing and other entertainment extensions.

“We don’t see ourselves as simply creating a content library. Our focus is on creating stories, characters and worlds that audiences can connect with and return to,” the team added. “Our long-term vision is to build a storytelling universe where India’s cultural memory and contemporary creativity can exist together.”

THE DRAMA LOK’s brand identity reflects this philosophy through a visual language inspired by theatre, heritage, mystery and emotion, combining dark cinematic tones with antique gold, deep red and symbolic Indian design elements.

With the tagline:

炬楷勘均砍 楷浚 诀坎骏 炬砍

THE DRAMA LOK represents a new approach to Indian digital entertainment—one where forgotten legends can find new audiences, regional stories can travel beyond geographical boundaries and contemporary stories can coexist with the timeless narratives that have shaped generations.

India’s Top 10 Burger Chains Expand Footprint To Over 2,000 Outlets; Tier II & III Cities Emerge As Next Growth Frontier: Kennis Ventures

India’s Top 10 Burger Chains Expand Footprint To Over 2,000 Outlets; Tier II & III Cities Emerge As Next Growth Frontier: Kennis Ventures

Aug 20, 2026

~Top 10 organised burger chains grow from 1,481 outlets in 2023 to 2,018 in 2026, reflecting a 10.9% CAGR~

India’s organised burger Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) segment is entering its next phase of expansion, with leading brands increasingly moving beyond established metropolitan markets and deepening their presence across Tier II and Tier III India, according to QSR Watch – Edition II, the latest report released by Kennis Ventures Private Limited.

The report, which tracks the physical retail footprint of India’s top 10 organised burger chains, finds that their combined store network has increased from 1,481 outlets in 2023 to 2,018 outlets as of March 2026, representing a 10.9% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the period. According to industry estimates referenced in the study, India’s QSR industry is valued at approximately USD 30 billion in 2026, with the organised burger segment estimated at over USD 5 billion, reflecting a category that is growing both in scale and competitive intensity.

Of the top 10 chains covered in the study, McDonald’s and Burger King are the only two global brands and together account for 1,246 outlets, or 61.7% of the total footprint. McDonald’s remains the largest burger chain in India by outlet count, with 676 stores across 136 cities, while Burger King has the widest geographic presence, with 570 stores across 159 cities. At the same time, home-grown players are building meaningful scale, with the eight Indian-founded brands collectively operating 772 outlets, representing 38.3% of the top 10 network. Jumboking ranks third nationally with 172 outlets, followed by Burger Singh with 161, Biggies Burger with 113 and The Burger Company with 100 outlets.

Commenting on the findings, Saurabh Agarwal, Managing Director, Kennis Ventures Private Limited, said, “India’s burger QSR market is moving from being predominantly a metro-led category to becoming a much more geographically distributed consumer opportunity. While global players continue to command significant scale, the emergence of multiple Indian brands with meaningful regional and national footprints points to a deeper evolution of the category. The next phase of growth is likely to be shaped as much by expansion into underserved cities as by competition within established urban markets.”

The geographical spread of the category also points to a broader shift in growth momentum. North India remains the largest market with 837 stores, followed by West India with 624, South India with 438 and East India with 119. However, newer growth markets are expanding faster: between 2023 and 2026, South India grew 80.2% from 243 to 438 stores, while East India more than doubled from 59 to 119 stores, albeit from a smaller base. North and West India also continued to expand, growing 48.4% and 39.6%, respectively. Despite its rapid growth, East India remains the least penetrated region, highlighting significant headroom for further expansion.

A similar trend is visible across major cities. Delhi NCR remains the country’s largest urban hub with 364 stores, followed by Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) with 288, Bengaluru with 181, Pune with 100 and Hyderabad with 74. While Delhi NCR and MMR retain the largest store bases, Bengaluru and Pune are growing significantly faster, recording 53.4% and 56.3% growth respectively since 2023, while Hyderabad expanded by 32.1%.

Tier II and Tier III India Emerge as the Next Growth Frontier

Beyond the major metros, the report highlights an increasing push by organised burger chains into smaller and previously underserved markets. Burger King has expanded into cities such as Itanagar, Dimapur and Shillong, Burger Singh has established a presence in Ayodhya and Jhansi, while The Burger Company has penetrated markets such as Azamgarh, Hathras, Mau and Banda.

This widening geographic footprint signals a structural shift in the category as organised burger consumption becomes increasingly distributed beyond India’s traditional QSR hubs.

“The expansion story is no longer simply about adding more stores in Delhi, Mumbai or Bengaluru. Increasingly, the opportunity lies in identifying cities where rising purchasing power, younger consumer demographics and greater acceptance of organised QSR formats can support the next generation of outlets. For brands as well as investors, understanding these emerging geographic clusters will therefore become increasingly important,” added Agarwal.

Melooha Launches Artha Sutram, An AI-Powered Wealth Intelligence Report For Personalized Financial Guidance

Melooha Launches Artha Sutram, An AI-Powered Wealth Intelligence Report For Personalized Financial Guidance

Aug 7, 2026

The new offering combines the depth of Vedic astrology with AI to help individuals better understand their financial potential and make more informed life decisions.

Bengaluru: Melooha, a Bengaluru-based AI-first astrology platform caters to over 3 million users across 190 countries, announced the launch of Artha Sutram, a personalised Wealth Astrology Report that combines the timeless wisdom of vedic astrology with the power of artificial intelligence to deliver deeper contextual financial insights.

As per Indian philosophy, Artha represents prosperity, purpose, and material well-being, one of the four fundamental pursuits of life. Inspired by this philosophy, Artha Sutram is designed to help individuals  understand their financial journey through the lens of astrology. By analysing an individual’s birth chart, planetary influences, and astrological combinations associated with wealth, career, opportunities, and financial patterns, the report provides personalised guidance tailored to each user’s life path.

While astrology has long been used to understand an individual’s strengths, opportunities, and life cycles, interpreting complex birth charts often requires significant expertise. Artha Sutram bridges this gap to get more personalised insights on the financial journey by using Melooha’s proprietary AI engine to make it more accessible, and easier to understand. Rather than replacing astrology, AI serves as an intelligent assistant that enhances the delivery of personalised astrological guidance at scale.

The launch comes amid rising consumer interest in wealth-focused astrological guidance. On the Melooha platform, wealth-related queries account for nearly 15% of all user questions and have grown by over 50% in the last 12 months, reflecting an increasing demand for personalised insights around financial planning, career growth, and long-term prosperity.

As more individuals seek personalised guidance for important life decisions, astrology is increasingly being viewed as a tool for self-awareness and long-term planning, including financial wellbeing. The trend is particularly pronounced among working professionals, with 65% of users seeking wealth guidance falling in the 25–44 age group individuals in their prime earning and wealth-building years who are increasingly looking for personalised guidance to navigate important financial decisions.

Recognising this shift, Melooha developed Artha Sutram to offer users meaningful astrological insights into their wealth potential, career growth, and financial patterns. The report analyses an individual’s Vedic birth chart to provide personalised insights into wealth yogas, favourable financial periods, career and income potential, along with tailored remedies and guidance, making complex astrological interpretations simple and accessible through AI.

Speaking on the launch, Vikram Labhe, Founder & CEO, Melooha, said:

“For centuries, Vedic astrology has helped people understand different aspects of their lives, including wealth, career, and prosperity. One of the most celebrated figures in this tradition was the legendary astrologer Varahamihira, one of the nine gems in King Vikramaditya’s court, who is said to have been consulted on matters of governance and prosperity. At Melooha, we believe technology should enhance this timeless wisdom, not replace it. Inspired by over 5,000 years of Vedic knowledge, Artha Sutram combines the depth of Vedic astrology with AI to make personalised wealth insights more accessible and relevant for today’s generation. More than just an astrology report, it serves as a personalised financial roadmap that helps individuals identify their wealth strengths, uncover potential income opportunities, understand financial patterns, and navigate their wealth journey with greater clarity, while keeping astrology at the heart of the experience.”

Artha Sutram reflects Melooha’s broader vision of making authentic astrological guidance more accessible through responsible technology. By combining expert astrological principles with AI-driven personalisation, the platform continues to simplify complex astrological interpretations, enabling users to make more informed decisions across various aspects of life while staying rooted in the timeless wisdom of astrology.

कंट्री क्लब हॉस्पिटॅलिटी अँड हॉलिडेज प्रायव्हेट लिमिटेडने कंट्री क्लब मास्टरकार्ड – तुर्कस्तान सादर केले.

Jul 28, 2026

थायलंड मास्टरकार्डच्या प्रचंड यशानंतर, कंट्री क्लबने आपल्या जागतिक विस्ताराच्या प्रवासात आणखी एक महत्त्वपूर्ण पाऊल उचलले आहे.

मुंबई, २७ जुलै, २०२६: कंट्री क्लब हॉस्पिटॅलिटी अँड हॉलिडेज प्रायव्हेट लिमिटेडने आज ‘कंट्री क्लब मास्टरकार्ड – तुर्कस्तान’च्या भव्य शुभारंभाची घोषणा केली. यासह, कंपनीने आपल्या जागतिक सुट्टीच्या अनुभवांच्या वाढत्या पोर्टफोलिओमध्ये आणखी एका प्रतिष्ठित आंतरराष्ट्रीय स्थळाची भर घातली आहे. ‘कंट्री क्लब मास्टरकार्ड – थायलंड’च्या प्रचंड यशानंतर, कंपनी आता तुर्कस्तानचे कालातीत सौंदर्य, समृद्ध वारसा आणि उत्कृष्ट पाहुणचार आपल्या सदस्यांसाठी अधिक जवळ आणत आहे.

अध्यक्ष आणि व्यवस्थापकीय संचालक श्री. राजीव रेड्डी यांच्या अलीकडील तुर्कस्तान दौऱ्यानंतर हा शुभारंभ करण्यात आला आहे. या दौऱ्यादरम्यान, त्यांनी देशातील भरभराटीला आलेल्या पर्यटन आणि पाहुणचार क्षेत्राचे निरीक्षण केले आणि अनेक प्रतिष्ठित राजनैतिक अधिकारी, पर्यटन क्षेत्रातील नेते, पाहुणचार भागीदार आणि प्रमुख व्यावसायिक व्यक्तींची भेट घेतली. हा दौरा भारत आणि तुर्कस्तान यांच्यातील पर्यटन आणि व्यावसायिक संबंध अधिक दृढ करण्याच्या दिशेने एक महत्त्वपूर्ण पाऊल होते.

आपल्या भेटीदरम्यान, श्री. रेड्डी यांनी तुर्कस्तानच्या खऱ्या सौंदर्याचा अनुभव घेतला—कप्पाडोसियामधील जादुई सूर्योदयापासून (जिथे शेकडो रंगीबेरंगी हॉट एअर बलून सकाळचे आकाश उजळवतात) ते पूर्व आणि पश्चिम यांचा संगम असलेल्या इस्तंबूल शहराच्या कालातीत आकर्षणापर्यंत. उत्कृष्ट तुर्की कलाकुसर, हाताने रंगवलेली इझनिक सिरॅमिक्स, सुगंधी मसाले, तुर्की मिठाई आणि शतकानुशतके चालत आलेल्या परंपरांनी भरलेल्या भव्य ग्रँड बाजार आणि स्पाइस बाजारने देशाच्या समृद्ध सांस्कृतिक वारशाची झलक दाखवली. ब्लू मशिद, हागिया सोफिया, डोलमाबाहचे पॅलेस आणि सुंदर बोस्फोरस यांसारख्या प्रतिष्ठित स्थळांना दिलेल्या भेटींमुळे तुर्कस्तान जगातील सर्वात लोकप्रिय पर्यटन स्थळांपैकी एक का आहे, हे देखील दिसून आले.

या अविस्मरणीय अनुभवांनी प्रेरित होऊन आणि भारतातील तुर्कस्तानचे महावाणिज्यदूत महामहिम श्री. मिनिटो विजितो यांच्या प्रेमळ निमंत्रणाने प्रोत्साहित होऊन, कंट्री क्लब आता इस्तंबूल आणि कपाडोसियामध्ये धोरणात्मक फ्रँचायझी भागीदारीच्या संधी शोधत आहे. यामुळे आंतरराष्ट्रीय हॉस्पिटॅलिटीमध्ये आपली पोहोच वाढवण्याच्या आणि सदस्यांना जागतिक दर्जाच्या स्थळांवर प्रवेश उपलब्ध करून देण्याच्या त्यांच्या दूरदृष्टीला अधिक बळकटी मिळेल.

आज, कंट्री क्लब हॉस्पिटॅलिटी अँड हॉलिडेज प्रा. लि. भारत आणि आंतरराष्ट्रीय स्थळांवरील ३० मालकीच्या आणि ७० हून अधिक फ्रँचाइझ्ड प्रॉपर्टीजच्या नेटवर्कद्वारे जगभरातील २० लाखांहून अधिक सदस्यांना अभिमानाने सेवा देत आहे. कंपनी दरवर्षी ७०,००० हून अधिक रूम नाइट्स (हॉटेलमधील मुक्काम) प्रदान करते, जे तिच्या सदस्यांचा विश्वास आणि व्हेकेशन ओनरशिप व हॉस्पिटॅलिटी उद्योगातील तिचे नेतृत्व दर्शवते. कंट्री क्लब मास्टरकार्ड – तुर्कस्तानचे प्रक्षेपण हे जगभरात उत्कृष्ट सुट्टीचा अनुभव देण्याचे आमचे वचन पूर्ण करण्याच्या आणि जागतिक हॉस्पिटॅलिटीमध्ये आमची पोहोच वाढवण्याच्या दिशेने टाकलेले आणखी एक पाऊल आहे.

कंट्री क्लब मास्टरकार्ड – तुर्कस्तान खालील फायदे देते:

  • एका जोडप्यासाठी मोफत येण्या-जाण्याचे आंतरराष्ट्रीय विमान तिकीट.
  • तुर्कस्तानमध्ये (इस्तंबूल आणि कपाडोकिया) ५ रात्री, ६ दिवसांची आलिशान सुट्टी.
  • जगभरातील कंट्री क्लबच्या मालकीच्या आणि फ्रँचाइझ्ड प्रॉपर्टीजमध्ये ३० वर्षांच्या सुट्टीचे विशेष हक्क.

Retiring On Your Own Terms With ICICI Pru Gold Pension Savings: The Growing Shift Toward Lifelong Financial Freedom

Retiring On Your Own Terms With ICICI Pru Gold Pension Savings: The Growing Shift Toward Lifelong Financial Freedom

Jul 15, 2026

India is undergoing a significant demographic shift. While we celebrate being a young nation, we are rapidly transitioning into a society with a rapidly aging population. By 2036, one in every seven Indians will be a senior citizen and the number is projected to surge to 230 million, according to the National Commission on Population[1].

As life expectancy rises and the traditional social security of relying solely on next-generation support is changing, retirement planning has become a necessity rather than a choice.

To address this, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance has designed ICICI Pru Gold Pension Savings, a bonus-linked pension plan built on the pillars of safety and flexibility. This pension product offers the best of both worlds, allowing customers to accumulate corpus for pension with safety of capital invested and, partial withdrawal to meet liquidity needs in case of major life events or illnesses, ensuring that a family’s financial future remains secure.

Mr. Vikas Gupta, Chief Product Officer, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited, said, “At ICICI Prudential Life, we believe retirement should be a milestone of celebration, not financial stress. ICICI Pru Gold Pension Savings has been designed to offer certainty, growth through bonuses and the flexibility to access funds to meet life’s uncertainties in case of major life events or illnesses. By providing up to 25% emergency withdrawal feature and a corpus for retirement, this plan empowers our customers to transition from ‘active earning’ to ‘retirement income’ without compromising their dignity or aspirations. What makes the plan even more relevant to retirement planners is that it also provides health management and wellbeing services in the form of complimentary health check-ups.”

Let’s understand how this product works, consider Prateek, a 40-year-old professional. By saving ₹1.5 lakh annually for 10 years, he was able to build a retirement corpus of ₹44 lakh by the age of 60, assuming an 8% per annum rate of return or ₹25 lakh assuming a 4% per annum rate of return. The plan allows him to take up to 60% of this corpus as a tax-free lump sum to settle immediate goals like travel or a home renovation. He can receive guaranteed regular life-long income with the balance amount by purchasing an annuity product, ensuring he remains financially independent in his golden years.

In essence, ICICI Pru Gold Pension Savings redefines retirement by combining capital protection, bonus-driven growth, and emergency liquidity feature (up to 25% withdrawal). By including complimentary health check-ups and offering a  tax-free withdrawal at maturity, the plan offers a holistic, disciplined and secure path that empowers customers to achieve financial independence and peace of mind during their golden years.

Nearly 90% Of Crypto Investors Aware Of Taxation, 66% Say It Is Unfair: Coinswitch Survey Finds

Nearly 90% Of Crypto Investors Aware Of Taxation, 66% Say It Is Unfair: Coinswitch Survey Finds

Jan 27, 2026

Report Highlights Demand for Predictable, Market-Aligned Crypto Tax Framework

Ahead of the upcoming Union Budget in February, CoinSwitch has released insights from a nationwide survey capturing investor sentiment on the taxation and regulation of crypto (Virtual Digital Assets – VDAs) in India.
The survey indicates a high level of awareness of India’s current crypto taxation framework. Nearly 90% of respondents reported familiarity with key provisions, including the 30% tax on gains, the absence of loss set-off or carry-forward, and the 1% TDS on transactions. Despite this awareness, a majority of respondents expressed concerns regarding the perceived fairness of the current framework. 66% believe the current crypto tax structure is unfair.
Commenting on this Mr Ashish Singhal, Co-founder of CoinSwitch, says, “The survey shows that investors are not seeking tax exemptions, but rationalisation. Respondents favour lower tax rates, loss set-off provisions, reduced TDS, and clearer regulations aligned with established financial markets. The findings indicate that investors are informed, willing to comply, and seeking a fair and predictable framework. As the Union Budget approaches, rationalising crypto taxation and providing regulatory clarity can support compliant onshore participation and contribute to a more transparent and well-regulated digital asset ecosystem.”
Taxation is also influencing market behaviour. A majority of respondents (59%) reported reduced participation in crypto investing or trading due to the prevailing tax regime. This trend suggests that the current tax structure appears to be influencing participation patterns, with potential implications for trading volumes, liquidity, and onshore market activity.

In contrast, 17% indicated increased participation, while 16% said taxation had no impact on their activity. At the same time, these segments of respondents reported stable or increased participation despite the tax regime. This suggests that some investors are adopting longer-term investment approaches, placing greater value on regulatory certainty than short-term tax considerations.
A majority of respondents favour integrating crypto into India’s mainstream financial taxation system. 61% believe crypto should be taxed similarly to equities or mutual funds. 17% prefer a separate tax framework. This reflects a preference for treatment aligned with established financial instruments.
When it comes to information sources, respondents primarily rely on crypto platforms and exchanges (30%), followed by news media (27%) and social media (25%) for updates on crypto and taxation. This highlights the role of platforms in investor education and the importance of consistent, authoritative regulatory communication.
Beyond taxation, the survey highlights the importance of broader regulatory clarity. Over 80% of respondents consider clear regulation to be important, with 60% rating it as extremely important, underscoring the view that tax reform alone is insufficient to build long-term investor confidence.

Overall, policy sentiment captured in the survey leans towards enablement, with 51% of respondents believing that crypto should be encouraged as a new asset class in India.
