By: GV Sanjay Reddy, Vice Chairman, GVK Power & Infrastructure Ltd

New Delhi [India], April 15: Energy is the invisible engine behind modern life, powering everything from the hospitals that save lives to the devices that keep us connected. As global populations rise and technology becomes more integrated into our daily routines, our hunger for electricity is reaching unprecedented levels. 

To meet this surging demand without destroying our environment, we must shift toward sustainable solutions like solar power. By capturing the sun’s inexhaustible energy, we can produce clean, reliable electricity that reduces our reliance on fossil fuels. Solar isn’t just an alternative; it is the most scalable answer to our growing energy needs, offering a way to power the future while protecting the planet.

To understand how these shifts are shaping India’s energy demands, let’s get insights from G.V. Sanjay Reddy, Vice Chairman of the GVK conglomerate.

India’s solar journey has evolved from an ambitious vision into a global benchmark, with the nation now ranked 3rd globally in solar power capacity as of 2025. To reach the overarching goal of 500 GW of non-fossil capacity by 2030, with solar expected to contribute 280 GW of that total, the government is executing several large-scale initiatives. 

The PM Surya Ghar: MuftBijliYojana, launched in early 2024, aims to solarise 10 million households, providing up to 300 units of free electricity monthly; by December 2025, over 2.3 million households had already adopted rooftop solar under this scheme. 

Simultaneously, the PM-KUSUM scheme empowers farmers to become “energy producers” by installing solar pumps and small grid-connected plants on barren land, with over 2 million agricultural pumps solarised as of early 2026. 

GV Sanjay Reddy believes, “Farmers have always been the backbone of our nation, tilling the earth to feed our people; today, they are becoming the heartbeat of our energy future. By transforming from traditional consumers into ‘Urjadatas’ (energy producers), our farmers are now harvesting the sun to power our progress.”

“This shift does more than just provide clean electricity, it guarantees energy security for the rural landscape, turns barren land into a source of steady income, and ensures that the hands that feed us are the same hands that power a sustainable, self-reliant India,” he adds.

On a larger scale, India demonstrates utility-scale dominance by hosting massive clusters like the Bhadla Solar Park in Rajasthan, with 55 sanctioned solar parks totaling nearly 40 GW at various implementation stages across 13 states. 

Supporting this is a push for manufacturing self-reliance through the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, which saw solar module capacity skyrocket from 2.3 GW in 2014 to roughly 144 GW per annum by 2025. 

Looking ahead, India is already setting its sights on a long-term goal of 1,800 GW of non-fossil capacity by 2047, while currently focusing on the 2030 target. 

Despite this momentum, challenges remain in grid integration and storage, leading to a strategic pivot toward Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and Green Hydrogen to ensure a stable, 24/7 clean energy supply as the nation marches toward its ultimate Net Zero goal by 2070.

GV Sanjay Reddy says, “While the path to a clean energy future is steep and filled with the challenges of modernizing our grids and storing the sun’s power, we are undeniably moving in the right direction. Every solar panel installed and every household energized is a testament to our collective resolve.”

These hurdles are not roadblocks, but rather the stepping stones of innovation that are refining India’s journey. With unwavering momentum and a clear vision, yesterday’s ambitions can turn into today’s reality, proving that an India powered by the sun is not just a dream, but an inevitable and brilliant horizon.

Surat (Gujarat) [India], April 15: Progress Alliance, a non-profit organisation dedicated to the holistic development of entrepreneurs, organised the Mega Business Meet 2026 in Surat. The event witnessed participation from more than 2,000 entrepreneurs who engaged in discussions on aligning business growth with human values.

The gathering served as a platform for entrepreneurs to exchange ideas on strengthening their businesses through collaboration and mutual support, while also focusing on enhancing personal well-being, satisfaction and happiness. The discussions emphasised the integration of human values into business practices, drawing from the principles of conscious living and co-existence.

The keynote address was delivered by Som Tyagi, a prominent proponent of Madhyasth Darshan (Jeevan Vidya). He spoke on the distinction between the self and the physical body, explaining that each has different needs and that true happiness stems from inner transformation. He highlighted that material success alone does not lead to fulfilment, and stressed the importance of cultivating positive mental and emotional states to achieve lasting contentment.

He guided entrepreneurs on maintaining mental well-being alongside business growth and achieving a sense of fulfilment in both personal and professional life. He also shared insights from his 25 years of work in promoting happiness and harmony in human relationships and family life.

The event placed strong emphasis on networking, team development, and building healthy relationships with customers. Participants discussed ways to ensure that business success is complemented by the well-being and satisfaction of employees and clients.

Progress Alliance has been actively working for over 12 years across more than 15 cities in India, supporting a network of 6,500+ members. The organisation continues to contribute to both the business and personal development of entrepreneurs through its monthly meetings and action-oriented initiatives.

Alliance Growth Partner Kamal Deora played a key role in organising the Mega Business Meet. The programme, held at Happiness Banquet Hall in Simada, concluded with participants resolving to move forward with a balanced approach to business and life, focusing equally on growth and inner well-being.

New Delhi [India], April 15: The recent sponsorship of the Filmfare Awards South by Double Bull has sparked interest in the fashion and film industries. The interesting part is that Double Bull is not a legacy luxury label, but a brand traditionally rooted in everyday menswear. One of the most followed award shows in South Indian cinema, Filmfare South has always been a place where style gets noticed. This time, the presence of a menswear brand added a new angle. Viewers noticed how fashion brands are slowly becoming part of big cultural events instead of staying limited to stores and ads.

Videos shared on Instagram as a collaboration between Double Bull and Filmfare South also caught people’s attention. The post showed moments from the event, where fashion and celebrity presence came together naturally. The brand was not pushing products directly, but the content leaned into storytelling, which showed the focus of the brand on fashion. Many people felt that such collaborations look fresh and connect well with young audiences. 

Men’s fashion in India has shifted clearly. The shift from formal wear to versatile and comfort-driven style is continuously growing. Earlier limited to office or occasion dressing, but now the fashion trends embrace individuality, mixing casual and formal pieces, which young consumers prefer. They want adaptable outfits that transition seamlessly between work and social settings. This change has pushed brands like Double Bull to rethink their designs. Industry observers say that cinema and celebrity culture have played a strong role in shaping these choices, as people often follow what actors wear on and off screen.

Double Bull, once known mainly for classic formal wear, is now slowly building a more modern image. Its presence at Filmfare South shows that the brand is trying to connect with a wider audience. The focus appears to be on visibility through cultural platforms. Fashion experts say this is a smart move. It is because today’s audience prefers subtle branding over loud advertising. Some viewers also feel that the brand looks more relatable in real events than staged campaigns.

The connection between cinema and fashion is not new in India. From early Bollywood days to today’s South film industry, actors have always influenced clothing trends. Events like Filmfare Awards South continue this tradition in a modern way. With brands like Double Bull becoming part of such platforms, the gap between fashion and entertainment is becoming smaller. This trend is likely to grow as more Indian menswear brands may enter pop culture spaces.
