New Delhi [India], January 13: As India accelerates its journey towards becoming a global manufacturing and infrastructure powerhouse, the ‘Make in India’ initiative has emerged as a defining force reshaping critical sectors of the economy, none more vital than power transmission. From indigenised manufacturing of high-voltage equipment to the execution of complex cross-border transmission projects, the sector today reflects a growing confidence in homegrown capability and global competitiveness. Jabraj Singh, Vice President, Projects – T&D International at KEC International Ltd., offers a practitioner’s perspective on how this shift is strengthening India’s power transmission ecosystem, creating resilient supply chains, and positioning Indian companies as trusted partners in international energy infrastructure development.

“Power is the backbone of India’s growth story, and over the past 11 years, the Make in India initiative has played a transformative role in strengthening the sector. By promoting domestic manufacturing, fostering innovation, and enabling meaningful global collaborations, it has helped create a power ecosystem that is increasingly self-reliant, resilient, and future-ready -capable of supporting India’s long-term economic and infrastructure ambitions,” says Jabraj Singh, VP, KEC International Ltd.

At the heart of this transformation lies a focused push to localise the manufacturing of critical power transmission equipment. India is steadily moving away from being a net importer of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) and high-voltage alternating current (HVAC) components towards building indigenous capabilities across transformers, high-capacity cables, converters, and switchgear. According to Jabraj Singh from KEC, this shift is not merely about cost savings, but about strategic autonomy. “Energy security today depends on technological self-reliance. When critical transmission gear is produced domestically, project execution becomes faster, more predictable, and less vulnerable to global supply chain disruptions,” he notes.

Government-led initiatives such as the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes have played a catalytic role in enabling this transition. By incentivising large-scale domestic manufacturing, these schemes have encouraged investments in advanced technologies and manufacturing capacities that meet global standards. Complemented by policy frameworks like the National Manufacturing Mission, PM GatiShakti, the National Logistics Policy, and GST reforms, Make in India has created an ecosystem where infrastructure development and industrial growth reinforce each other. This integrated approach has significantly improved the ease of executing complex transmission projects, both within India and overseas.

A resilient domestic supply chain has also become indispensable as India undertakes one of the world’s most ambitious clean energy transitions. With a target of integrating 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, the expansion of transmission infrastructure, particularly green energy corridors linking renewable-rich states such as Rajasthan and Gujarat to demand centres, has become mission-critical. Localised manufacturing ensures the timely availability of equipment for these projects, supporting faster renewable integration and grid stability. Jabraj Singh, VP at KEC, emphasises that a strong domestic transmission ecosystem is the invisible enabler of India’s renewable ambitions.

In the long term, localisation is expected to drive down costs across the power value chain. Reduced dependence on imports, economies of scale, and shorter supply lines can collectively make power transmission more cost-efficient, thereby lowering the overall cost of clean energy. This, in turn, supports affordability for consumers while strengthening the financial sustainability of utilities. According to Jabraj Singh from KEC, these efficiencies will be crucial as India modernises its grid to accommodate digital monitoring, higher capacity flows, and greater operational flexibility.

Looking ahead, Make in India is redefining India’s power transmission sector from a support function into a strategic national asset. By aligning policy intent with industry capability, the initiative is building a self-sufficient, resilient, and globally competitive ecosystem that can power India’s growth for decades to come. As Jabraj Singh concludes, the real success of Make in India lies in its ability to turn ambition into execution, strengthening the grid that will ultimately carry India’s development story forward.

New Delhi [India], January 15: In a compelling episode of the Attention India Podcast, Abhishek Pandey—Founder and Director of the Charles Walters Council for Innovation and Research (CWCIR)—engaged in a wide-ranging conversation on leadership, innovation, education reform, and nation-building. Known for his institution-driven approach and intellectual seriousness, Pandey articulated a vision that bridges ideas with action and policy with purpose. The following is an edited and curated interview, presented for publication in leading magazines and media platforms.

Attention India Podcast (AIP):

Mr. Pandey, you are known as an institution-builder rather than a conventional public figure. How would you introduce yourself to our readers?

Abhishek Pandey:

I see myself primarily as a student of society and a practitioner of institution-building. Titles are transient; institutions endure. My work has been centred on creating platforms where ideas, integrity, and national purpose can coexist meaningfully. Whether through education, research, or social initiatives, my effort has been to contribute constructively to the intellectual and moral framework of the nation.

AIP:

The Charles Walters Council for Innovation and Research has gained significant recognition. What inspired its inception?

Abhishek Pandey:

CWCIR was born out of a simple yet pressing realization—that a vast amount of intellectual and innovative talent remains unnoticed due to lack of credible platforms. The Council was envisioned as an institution of thought, not merely an organisation. Our objective is to identify unreached excellence, encourage research-oriented thinking, and provide national and international exposure rooted in academic seriousness and ethical recognition.

AIP:

How does CWCIR differentiate itself from other think tanks and forums?

Abhishek Pandey:

Our differentiation lies in intent and discipline. We do not believe in symbolic engagement. Every conclave, fellowship, or recognition under CWCIR is grounded in merit, contribution, and long-term impact. We operate at the intersection of innovation, education, governance, and leadership—ensuring that dialogue leads to direction, and recognition leads to responsibility.

AIP:

Your Indo-International Intellectual Conclaves have drawn wide participation. What role do such conclaves play today?

Abhishek Pandey:

In a polarized and fast-paced world, serious dialogue is becoming rare. Our conclaves are designed to restore intellectual patience—to bring educators, administrators, diplomats, innovators, and policymakers onto a common platform. These are not events for applause; they are forums for reflection, exchange, and accountability.

AIP:

One of your notable initiatives is the Honour of Ashoka Award. What is its philosophical foundation?

Abhishek Pandey:

The Honour of Ashoka Award is anchored in the belief that public life must be guided by ethics, courage, and service. It recognises excellence in bureaucracy, governance, diplomacy, policing, and political leadership—domains that sustain the republic. The award is intentionally exclusive, because credibility must never be diluted. It is about reinstating dignity in leadership.

AIP:

The award has received appreciation from senior national leadership. How do you view such recognition?

Abhishek Pandey:

Recognition is meaningful only when it validates the idea, not the individual. Appreciation from the Hon’ble Defence Minister and other national leaders reinforces that the initiative resonates with institutional values. It encourages us to remain disciplined and uncompromising in our standards.

AIP:

Education seems to be a recurring theme in your work. What, in your view, is the most urgent reform needed in India’s education system?

Abhishek Pandey:

The most urgent reform is restoring seriousness—among institutions, educators, and stakeholders. Education must move beyond rote learning and become research-oriented, value-centric, and accountable. Teachers must be empowered and evaluated as nation-builders. I have consistently advocated structured academic governance and teacher services, which has also been acknowledged at the ministerial level.

AIP:

Your work also extends to social initiatives, particularly women’s safety. Could you elaborate?

Abhishek Pandey:

Empowerment must be practical. Organising self-defense training programmes for girls across 13 states was an attempt to translate concern into capacity. These initiatives addressed physical preparedness, psychological strength, and awareness. The appreciation from the Hon’ble Home Minister affirmed that such programmes are not peripheral—they are essential.

AIP:

You are also a Trustee of Maa Ambey Kutir. How does philanthropy align with your broader vision?

Abhishek Pandey:

Philanthropy is not separate from leadership—it completes it. Maa Ambey Kutir represents service at the grassroots level. Institutions may shape ideas, but compassion shapes character. Both are necessary for meaningful nation-building.

AIP:

You have received appreciation from the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh for societal initiatives. How important is state-level engagement?

Abhishek Pandey:

States are the laboratories of national progress. Engagement at the state level ensures that ideas are grounded in reality. Appreciation from the Hon’ble Chief Minister reflects that consistent, sincere work—when aligned with public interest—finds resonance.

AIP:

What message would you like to give to India’s youth?

Abhishek Pandey:

Discipline before ambition. Knowledge before opinion. Service before recognition. The nation does not need louder voices; it needs deeper minds and steadier hands. Youth must invest in learning, ethics, and responsibility—success will follow naturally.

AIP:

Finally, how would you like your work to be remembered?

Abhishek Pandey:

If the institutions I helped build continue to function with integrity long after I am gone, that would be sufficient. Individuals pass; ideas remain. My aspiration is to contribute ideas and institutions that strengthen the moral and intellectual spine of the nation.

Conclusion

The conversation with Abhishek Pandey on the Attention India Podcast reveals a leader guided by restraint, depth, and institutional thinking. In an age of immediacy, his emphasis on ethics, research, and nation-first leadership offers a reflective counter-narrative—one that resonates with enduring relevance.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 15: “Sanjeev Kwatra, Chairman of Global News Bulletin and a respected industry expert and motivational speaker, shared the wisdom of Rishikesh to inspire students in a TEDx Talk organized at KIIT World School to cultivate inner balance, practice inclusive leadership, and actively serve Bharat’s emergence as a Vishwaguru.”

Roots in Rishikesh: Where Consciousness Shapes Conviction

Hailing from Rishikesh, the yoga capital of the world, Mr. Sanjeev Kwatra comes from a land where spirituality is not a concept but a lived experience. Born into a business family, he began engaging with business responsibilities at the age of 15–16, gradually evolving over two decades into a conscious entrepreneur. Yet, his worldview extends far beyond commerce. Growing up amidst the spiritual currents of Rishikesh has deeply shaped his belief that life, leadership, and nation-building must be guided by inner awareness and higher purpose.

Learning from the Ganga: The Inner Flow of True Happiness

Inspired by Mother Ganga’s uninterrupted flow, Mr. Kwatra teaches that life, like the river, may face obstacles but our inner purpose must keep moving. When this inner flow is blocked, stagnation follows; when it flows freely, life gains clarity and meaning. True fulfillment, he emphasizes, comes from inner happiness, not fleeting pleasures; achievements matter only when the heart remains joyful.

Speaking to the Youth: A Call to Conscious Responsibility

Addressing students on a college campus, Mr. Kwatra directs his message to young minds who will shape the nation’s future. He urges them to see education not merely as a personal asset, but as a tool for national upliftment. Every decision, every ambition, and every professional step, he believes, must be guided by a larger responsibility toward society and the country.

India’s Inevitable Rise as Vishwaguru

Hailing from a land of timeless wisdom, Mr. Sanjeev Kwatra speaks with certainty about Bharat’s destiny as a Vishwaguru. He sees its re-emergence through awakened individuals and conscious leadership and urges citizens to align their personal journeys with this national resurgence serving Bharat, he reminds, is a historic responsibility, not a sacrifice.

Redefining Success Beyond Material Milestones

Mr. Kwatra challenges the modern obsession with financial packages and material benchmarks. He views wealth as a by-product of purposeful living, not the ultimate goal. When individuals focus solely on economic outcomes, they lose sight of their deeper role in society. True success, he emphasizes, lies in contributing meaningfully to the nation’s growth and collective well-being.

The Art of Balance: Yoga as Inner Stillness

The concept of “The Art of Balance”, often associated with Mr. Kwatra, goes beyond surface-level equilibrium. For him, balance is synonymous with yoga, a state of internal calm and awareness. When the mind is crowded with incessant thoughts, clarity and balance become impossible. Inner stillness, therefore, is not optional but essential for thoughtful action and stable leadership.

Understanding the Source of Thought and Expression

Mr. Kwatra encourages leaders, speakers, and professionals to reflect on the origin of their words and ideas. Every expression, he explains, is a product of the mind’s condition. A mind driven by material pursuits will inevitably reflect those priorities, while a mind aligned with collective consciousness will speak of inclusion and service. While disciplines like science, commerce, and arts shape perspectives, the true foundation lies in the inner state of the individual.

Inclusivity and Strength: Lessons from Nature

Using nature as a guide, Mr. Kwatra compares human potential to a towering tree. A vast canopy can only exist because of equally strong roots. Similarly, expansive thinking and inclusive leadership require deep inner strength. True growth, he believes, occurs when individuals possess the capacity to accept all without hierarchy recognizing that every role in society is essential.

Rethinking Competition Through Human Understanding

Challenging conventional notions of competition, Mr. Kwatra urges individuals to look beyond rivalry and see the human being in front of them. When people recognize shared aspirations and struggles, competition transforms into collaboration. This shift, he believes, is vital for collective national progress and sustainable development.

Human Dharma: The Highest Principle

Rejecting divisions based on caste, region, or religion, Mr. Kwatra emphasizes that humanity is the highest dharma. Love and compassion for fellow human beings transcend all boundaries. Living with this भावना (emotion) naturally generates positive energy, what he refers to as the real good hormones born not from physical exertion alone, but from empathy, service, and shared joy.

Nature’s Law of Giving and Social Responsibility

Nature, Mr. Kwatra explains, constantly fills gaps, water flows toward scarcity, clouds nourish dry land, and balance is restored effortlessly. Humans, as part of nature, must do the same by addressing social deficiencies. When individuals work to fill these gaps, they become pillars of stability within society.

India as a Pillar of Global Balance

Mr. Kwatra envisions India as a stabilizing force in an increasingly fragmented world. Emphasizing inclusivity, he highlights the interdependence of East and West, North and South. Progress, he believes, cannot exist in isolation; it demands collective participation and mutual respect.

A Final Call: One Thought Can Transform Many

In his closing address, Mr. Sanjeev Kwatra called upon the youth to awaken their inner leadership. Wisdom is abundant, he notes, but transformation depends on what one chooses to live by. Even a single sincere thought, he believes, can unite many like a garland of 108 beads binding individuals into a shared vision for humanity and Bharat as a Vishwaguru.

Dr. Girish Menon Dr. Susanth S & Dr. Ashok Thomas

Trivandrum (Kerala) [India], January 15: In one of a kind events, leading Neurosurgeons Dr. Girish Menon Dr. Susanth S & spine specialist Dr. Ashok Thomas came together today to discuss the growing burden of brain and spine disorders and how rapid advancements in surgical techniques are transforming patient outcomes. The expert-led interaction focused on early symptom recognition, evolving treatment options, and the shift from traditional open surgeries to minimally invasive and technology-enabled procedures.

Opening the medical session, experts highlighted the importance of recognizing early warning signs of brain and spine conditions such as persistent back pain, weakness, numbness, imbalance, chronic headaches, and changes in speech or vision. Early consultation and timely diagnosis, they emphasized, can significantly improve treatment success and quality of life.

The panel discussed a wide range of treatment options available today, including conservative management, minimally invasive spine surgery, and advanced brain surgery techniques. Specialists explained that treatment decisions are highly individualized and depend on the patient’s condition, overall health, and disease severity.

Speaking on the evolution of spine surgery, the experts noted a clear shift from traditional open procedures to minimally invasive approaches that reduce tissue damage, blood loss, hospital stay, and recovery time. The integration of advanced imaging and navigation technologies has further enhanced surgical precision and safety.

Addressing advancements in brain surgery, the speakers highlighted how navigation-guided and endoscopic techniques allow surgeons to operate with greater accuracy while minimizing risk to critical brain structures. These innovations have contributed to improved outcomes, faster recovery, and better overall patient experience.

The session concluded with an interactive media discussion, where experts reiterated the importance of patient education, safety, and informed decision-making. While advanced technologies have expanded treatment possibilities, the doctors stressed that not every patient requires surgery and that expert evaluation remains essential.

This initiative aims to raise public awareness about brain and spine health and empower patients to seek timely medical advice.

Highlights Shift Towards Preventive Health and Shared Fitness Culture

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], January 13: The Peakst8 Festival, powered by preventive healthcare and fitness company Fittr and organised by Rainmatter, a Zerodha-backed fund investing in climate and health-focused startups, brought together entrepreneurs, founders, fitness enthusiasts, everyday athletes and health startups to explore a more inclusive approach to fitness and preventive healthcare.

Fittr played a central role in shaping the festival’s approach, focusing on participation, consistency and accessibility. The event moved away from performance benchmarks and encouraged engagement in movement at one’s own pace, supported by the community.

Rainmatter described Peakst8 as the culmination of a year-long community initiative aimed at individuals “who live between the couch and competition.”

Nithin Kamath, co-founder and CEO of Zerodha, said in his LinkedIn post after the festival, “Saturday, 7 PM at the festival, almost 3,000 people after a full day of workouts and workshops on health and nutrition, the energy was electric, not depleted. There was absolutely no alcohol. The feedback: a resounding yes.” He noted that the idea behind hosting Peakst8 was to test openness to health-centred events and that bringing such experiences to more cities is part of efforts to shift cultural norms around health.

Jitendra Chouksey, Founder and CEO, Fittr, said in a post on LinkedIn, “There’s big food, there’s big alcohol, there’s big tobacco, there’s big dairy, there’s big sugar, there’s big pharma, there’s big tech, where’s big health and fitness? It’s time for everyone building in health to come together!” He added that increasing health consciousness, even from a small base, from “less than 1% health conscious to 2%” should be a shared priority for entrepreneurs, investors and consumers alike.

According to the World Health Organisation, physical inactivity is a key risk factor for non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and hypertension, which together account for more than 60% of deaths in India. Studies show that regular moderate physical activity significantly lowers the risk of early mortality and improves long-term health outcomes. Preventive healthcare measures, including routine physical activity, early diagnostics and health monitoring, are increasingly recognised as cost-effective ways to reduce the healthcare burden and support longevity.

Fittr has expanded from fitness coaching to a broader preventive healthcare ecosystem. The company is integrating movement, health monitoring, diagnostics and access to medical consultations to help individuals identify health risks early and build sustainable health routines.
