The project is expected to feature over 25 lifestyle amenities designed around the aspirations of modern homebuyers seeking connectivity, convenience, lifestyle, and long-term value appreciation.</div><div>What makes the development stand apart is its strategic location within a rapidly transforming corridor connected to the Navi Mumbai International Airport, Panvel Railway Network, Major Highways, JNPT Port Ecosystem, and direct access to Mumbai through Atal Setu (Mumbai Trans Harbour Link) — making it one of the few residential offerings in the region to provide access to multiple growth drivers within a single urban ecosystem.</div><div>Adding further momentum to the location’s future potential is the upcoming Virar–Alibaug Multimodal Corridor, located approximately 5–7 minutes from the project. The corridor is expected to significantly improve east-west connectivity across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region and strengthen access between key growth zones including Virar, Panvel, Navi Mumbai, and Alibaug.</div><div>With large-scale infrastructure projects reshaping the geography of growth across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, Panvel is increasingly emerging as a strategic urban and economic destination. Industry observers believe the next phase of residential and commercial expansion could emerge from micro-markets like Kewale, where infrastructure accessibility, business activity, employment opportunities, and future investment potential are rapidly converging.</div><div>According to India's Leading Property Consultant Anarock, who is also the strategic partner for this project, Kewale Micromarket in Panvel could emerge as one of the next major growth hotspots of the Airport City, resulting in increased land acquisition activity by developers in and around the micro-market.</div><div>According to the developer, the project is located approximately 15 minutes from the Panvel Railway Station, around 20 minutes from the Navi Mumbai International Airport, and offers seamless access to Atal Setu and major transportation corridors connecting Mumbai and Navi Mumbai.</div><div><br></div><div>Radhamohan J. Lakhotia, Founder Director of Lakhotia Group said the company’s vision is to create a future-oriented development that aligns with the next phase of urban expansion in the region.</div><div>“The idea behind Private Housing for All is to democratize aspirational living within a growth corridor that offers connectivity, economic activity, and future appreciation potential. Infrastructure-led growth will create jobs, business opportunities, and long-term stability in the region, making locations like Kewale increasingly relevant for future homebuyers and investors.”</div><div><br></div><div>Manak R. Lakhotia, Director, Lakhotia Group, said the project has been conceptualised around the future growth potential of the location and the aspirations of emerging homebuyers and investors.</div><div>“Today’s buyers are not just purchasing a home; they are investing in a future growth ecosystem. Kewale is strategically positioned within one of the most infrastructure-rich corridors of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. The combination of airport connectivity, highways, railway access, port-led development, and transformational infrastructure projects creates strong long-term potential for both end-users and investors.”</div><div><br></div><div>Developers have increasingly focused on Panvel and surrounding corridors in recent years as airport-led development, transportation infrastructure, and industrial growth continue to reshape residential demand patterns across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.</div><div>The proposed launch reflects the growing demand for future-oriented housing developments in locations that combine connectivity, economic opportunity, infrastructure access, and long-term investment potential.</div>

To mark the occasion, a special collectible issue titled "Tappurti of Nation-Building" was released by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at the Ravindra Natyamandir in Prabhadevi, Mumbai. BJP State President Ravindra Chavan, Mumbai President Ameet Satam, Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha, MLAs Niranjan Davkhare, Sanjay Kute, and Sunil Rane were present. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and BJP State President Ravindra Chavan listed the major achievements of PM Narendra Modi's tenure.</div><div><br></div><div>CM Fadnavis stated that during his 12-year tenure, he has proven that comprehensive change can be achieved by awakening the nation's self-respect. He has worked to lift India out of the mindset of relying solely on grants and establish a respectable position on the global stage. Furthermore, he has played a significant role in advancing the "Make in India" campaign and moving the country towards "Make for the World." Prime Minister Modi has transformed India, previously seen as a beggar nation, into an emerging global power. PM Modi will complete 12 years of his tenure on May 26, 2026. This period of his visionary, transformative, and successful leadership has proven to be a boon for the country and all Indians.</div><div><br></div><div>CM Fadnavis further stated that the work done by PM Modi over the past 12 years is so extensive and significant that it is difficult to summarize it in a single book. He has made continuous efforts to ensure that the benefits of government schemes reach every person in the country. Major public welfare initiatives were taken through schemes like "Toilet in Every Household" and "Ujjwala Gas Scheme." The government adopted a poverty-centric development agenda, not relying solely on handouts. This has resulted in the successful lifting of 250 million people out of poverty in the last 10 years.</div><div><br></div><div>India's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was ₹103 lakh crore in 2013-14, which increased to ₹357 lakh crore by 2025-26, a threefold increase. Maharashtra's GDP increased from ₹13 lakh crore in 2013-14 to ₹54 lakh crore in 2025-26. This progress has been witnessed by the entire world. This development under Prime Minister Modi's leadership is not the result of mere announcements, but the result of a planned and development-oriented strategy.</div><div><br></div><div>BJP State President Ravindra Chavan said that under the leadership of PM Modi, India is emerging as a strong nation, rapidly progressing towards becoming an economic powerhouse, empowered by digital technology, entrepreneurial, and centering women's empowerment. "Rashtra Nirman Ki Tappurti" is not just a collectible issue, but a living history of the transformation that has taken place in the country. He further stated that every Indian has felt the changes that have taken place in the lives of ordinary citizens over the past decade. This government has created a system that provides farmers, laborers, the poor, and the underprivileged with the opportunity to live a life of dignity. Transparent governance has ensured that the benefits of government schemes reach the last person. This has brought light to the homes of the poor, dignity to women, opportunities to the youth, and confidence to citizens.</div><div><br></div><div>This special issue presents the journey from "One India, United India" to "Developed India" in detail through 12 themes. It highlights topics such as national security, Antyodaya, youth empowerment, a matriarchal society, science, industry, and "Developed India 2047." It also documents India's role globally, its strong response at its borders, and its sensitive commitment to humanity in times of global crises. Ravindra Chavan also stated that "Tappurti of Nation Building" is not just a collectible issue, but a historical document of the transformation of New India.</div><div><br></div><div>He concluded by stating that while some people practice penance through spirituality, others serve society through art and literature, PM Modi has dedicated himself to serving the nation. This is why he has emerged as a "national ascetic." This special issue has been published with the aim of compiling his works and making them accessible to the public.</div>

What they cannot do is prove it fast enough to act," said Anand Mahurkar, Founder and CEO, Findability Sciences. "This assessment closes that gap in minutes, not months. A plant leader walks out of it knowing exactly where AI can make a dent first, and what their systems will actually support."</p><p>The timing matters. Dairy processors globally are under pressure from tightening margins, rising energy costs and increasingly complex supply chains. The global dairy processing equipment market is projected to grow from USD 12.73 billion in 2025 to USD 17.36 billion by 2031 (Source: Mordor Intelligence), as operators accelerate the push toward smarter, higher-yield production.</p><p>LactaAI is built around what Findability Sciences calls the data-to-decision gap: the lag between data existing inside a system and that data actually changing an operational call. The platform integrates plant-floor and enterprise data to surface not just what is happening, but why, and what needs to change. Deployments in comparable industrial environments have delivered 0.4 to 0.6 percent yield improvement, 8 to 15 percent energy recovery in utilities, and time-to-value in 6 to 10 weeks. Findability Sciences estimates large dairy operations can unlock between USD 1 million and USD 4 million in annual value per plant, depending on scale and product mix.</p></div></div></div></div></div><div></div></div>

Their work spanned international film sales, business development meetings with global buyers, client network expansion, and film branding strategy – substantive responsibilities that went well beyond the typical intern brief.</div><div><br></div><div>Cannes Lions draws professionals from over 90 countries each year. Intern selection is competitive and merit-driven, with no concessions for age or inexperience. That MET IMM students not only earned those spots but performed substantive, industry-level work over three months is a reflection of both individual ability and the rigour of training the institute delivers.</div><div><br></div><div>Adding to the momentum, a student film from MET IMM has won recognition at the Indian International Film Festival (IIFF). ‘The White House of Circles’, a documentary, explores the world of Warli painting, one of India's oldest and most distinctive indigenous art forms, through a lens that is as much social as it is aesthetic. The IIFF recognition further underlines MET IMM's strength in film and entertainment education, and its commitment to storytelling that goes beyond craft to carry genuine cultural weight.</div><div><br></div><div>Dr Priya Menon Nair, MET Institute of Mass Media, said, "We have always believed that the best education happens when classroom studies are supplemented with real world experience. The prestigious Cannes internships combined with our IIFF recognition speaks to the kind of students MET IMM produces: ones who are ready before the industry expects them to be.”</div><div><br></div><div>Pankaj Bhujbal, Trustee, MET, said, "These recognitions, Cannes Lions and IIFF in the same season, are a source of immense pride for the entire MET family. Our students competing with, and holding their own against, the best young talent globally is the clearest possible validation of what we set out to build. Storytelling, creativity, and professional excellence have always been at the heart of MET IMM, and our students are now carrying that to the world's biggest stages."</div><div><br></div><div>Established in 2005 under the Mumbai Educational Trust, MET IMM is one of India's leading postgraduate media institutions, with strong industry relationships spanning Jio Creative Labs, Zee, Ogilvy, Leo Burnett, Viacom18, Disney Star, and Netflix, among others. The institute holds a Diamond rating from the QS I-GAUGE Indian College Rating (2025) and was named Outstanding Institute for Mass Media Management by the World Education Summit in 2019.</div><div><br></div><div>The achievements reflect MET IMM's long-standing commitment to producing media professionals who are equipped to compete and succeed on a global stage.</div>
