Designed to address the growing demand for non-toxic, health-focused cooking and kitchen space optimization, the appliance features a large 30-litre capacity and a stainless steel interior cavity, complemented by food-safe SS304 stainless steel air fryer basket and oven rack components that contain no harmful chemicals. It also incorporates an intuitive 18-in-1 digital preset panel with automated dual-cook stage functionality. </div><div><br></div><div>As modern Indian households shift away from small-capacity basket air fryers and non-stick coatings prone to chemical degradation, the Aero  Smart 30 establishes a new standard for health-conscious family cooking. The appliance replaces traditional non-stick surfaces with food-safe SS304 and SS430  stainless steel food contact components, preventing PFAS/PFOA exposure while providing sufficient cooking space for multi-course family meals and entertaining. </div><div><br></div><div>In addition to its non-toxic construction, the Aero Smart 30 functions as an automated culinary assistant for busy urban homes. Its Dual Cook Functionality automatically transitions through multi-stage cooking sequences—such as shifting seamlessly from Air Fry to Broil or Bake to Keep Warm eliminating the need for constant manual supervision and stove-side monitoring.</div><div><br></div><div>Speaking on the launch, <b>Jitendra Chauhan, CEO of INALSA</b> said,"We recognized two major friction points in modern kitchens: families were outgrowing basic, small basket air fryers, and health-conscious consumers were increasingly concerned about flaking chemical non-stick coatings. With the Aero Smart 30, we set out to build a multi-cooker that solves both issues without compromise. By using food-grade SS304 and SS430 stainless steel accessories, we ensure safe contact with food, while the 30-litre volume allows users to prepare complete meals in a single batch. Adding multi-stage dual-cook automation means home cooks can set complex recipes like air frying followed by top-browning and walk away, turning multi-step cooking into a true set-and-forget experience. </div><div>At the core of the AeroSmart 30 is a high-velocity air circulation system engineered to deliver crisp textures with minimal oil usage. The unit features 18 pre-programmed digital functions covering air frying, baking, roasting, broiling, dehydrating, and reheating. The dual-stage program allows users to chain two distinct functions sequentially, ensuring precise temperature transitions for complex recipes.</div><div>The appliance features a stainless steel internal cavity, along with accompanying accessories including the oven rack and air fry basket made from SS304 food-grade stainless steel for enhanced durability, rust resistance, high thermal resistance, and a safe cooking environment.The exterior maintains a compact footprint relative to its 30-litre interior volume, featuring a touch-control digital display interface and an internal chamber light. Designed in line with European safety standards, its dual-layer glass door creates a clear viewing window while acting as a thermal barrier locking intense heat inside the chamber while keeping the outer glass safe and cool to the touch.</div><div>The INALSA Aero Smart 30 Air Fryer Oven has an MRP of ₹36900 and is currently available at a special launch price of ₹18999. It comes backed by a 2-year complete product warranty. The product is available across major retail outlets and e-commerce platforms nationwide.</div>

With the launch, boAt is introducing a new proposition for personal audio — ‘Intelligent Ears’ — earbuds designed not just for listening, but to listen, understand, converse and assist.</div><div>Today, accessing AI typically means reaching for a phone, opening an app or looking at a screen. CREST AI is built around a simpler idea: bringing intelligence to something consumers already wear throughout their day — their earbuds.</div><div>No screens. No scrolling. No opening apps. Just talk.</div><div>At the heart of the experience are three capabilities — Crest Ask, G- Assist and Crest Translate, or simply:  Ask. Assist. Translate.</div><div>With Crest Ask, users can ask questions, explore ideas, learn and have natural conversations with AI. Instead of repeatedly reaching for a phone or typing a query, users can ask follow-up questions and continue the conversation through their earbuds.</div><div>With G- Assist take the experience from conversation to action. With integration across Google Gmail, Tasks, and Calendar, users can access everyday productivity and communication capabilities through voice. From asking the assistant to “summarize my day” to “reply to an email,” G-Assist helps users manage tasks, stay on top of schedules, and interact with their digital routines without reaching for their phones.</div><div>Crest Translate enables real-time, two-way translation across 25+ languages, helping people speaking different languages communicate more naturally.</div><div>Together, these experiences extend the role of earbuds beyond listening, transforming them into intelligent companions that can understand context, converse naturally and assist users through their day.</div><div>“Why should intelligence be limited to our rooms, desks, pockets or screens? We believe it can become much more natural and simply be with you. With CREST AI, built with Google Gemini, we are bringing that intelligence to your ears. Our idea of ‘Intelligent Ears’ is simple: earbuds that can listen, understand, converse and assist. But this is just the beginning, we are working on multiple other use cases. For ten years, boAt has helped India listen. Now, we want to help India listen, understand, converse and assist,” said <b>Gaurav Nayyar, CEO, boAt.</b></div><div>Leading the rollout is the boAt Airdopes Prime 800 D, combining CREST AI capabilities with Dolby Audio and 11mm dynamic drivers tuned to boAt Signature Sound. The earbuds offer up to 45 hours of total playback, Multipoint Connectivity and four microphones with AI-ENx technology, bringing together entertainment, communication and intelligent assistance in one device.</div><div>CREST AI is also available on the boAt Airdopes Prime 701 ANC and boAt Nirvana Ion ANC, extending the experience across boAt’s audio portfolio. More CREST AI-powered products are expected to be introduced as boAt expands intelligent, voice-driven experiences across its next generation of devices.</div>

That complaint has now resulted in summons against Nikita Jaiswal and her parents, following a court-directed inquiry that examined official attendance records, CCTV footage, medical documentation and other material.</div><div>The court records show that by the time Nikita Jaiswal’s FIR was lodged in Kanpur on 21 September 2025, Ayush Gupta had already made two complaints to Delhi Police, on 29 December 2024 and 25 April 2025, and had filed his criminal complaint before the Dwarka Court on 30 June 2025, on which notice had been issued.</div><div>The Delhi complaint names Nikita Jaiswal, Narender Jaiswal, Kusumlata Jaiswal, Nitish Jaiswal and Suchita Jaiswal as proposed accused and cites Sections 61, 79, 115, 116, 303, 305, 316 and 351 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.</div><div>The sections cited in the complaint are distinct from the provisions under which the court subsequently issued summons at the cognizance stage. </div><div><br></div><div>The September 2026 order records allegations in Ayush Gupta’s complaint concerning physical violence, threats of criminal implication and the alleged removal of jewellery, cash and documents from his parents’ residence.</div><div>Because the proposed accused persons were residing outside Delhi, the court directed an inquiry under Section 225 of the BNSS. The resulting inquiry examined CCTV footage, official attendance records, medical documentation and the statement of a domestic worker. The pharmacy bill produced in relation to an alleged hot-water incident of 4 April 2025 was independently verified during the inquiry.</div><div>One of the key issues examined was an allegation made by Nikita Jaiswal in relation to 24 April 2025. Her medico-legal report alleged that she had been assaulted by her husband and his family at about 11 a.m. that day. The attendance record obtained from her workplace, however, showed her presence at work from 10:24 a.m. to 6:26 p.m. The court observed that, at the prima-facie stage, the discrepancy lent credence to the complainant’s version and undermined the counter-allegation, while noting that the final evidentiary value would be determined at trial.</div><div><br></div><div>The inquiry also examined CCTV footage from 25 April 2025 showing Nikita Jaiswal leaving the residence carrying four to five bags, with no other person seen entering or leaving during the relevant period. A domestic worker told the inquiry that Nikita Jaiswal had entered the bedroom of Ayush Gupta’s mother, prevented her from entering, packed articles into a bag and then left hurriedly. The court also considered an email attributed to Nikita Jaiswal concerning family jewellery.</div><div><br></div><div>The inquiry also examined CCTV footage from 27 December 2024 which, according to the court record, purportedly showed Nikita Jaiswal’s parents threatening the complainant and his family with implication in criminal cases.</div><div>Nikita Jaiswal denied the allegations during the inquiry and stated that they were false and baseless. The court treated the competing versions and their evidentiary value as matters for trial.</div><div>On 5 September 2026, after considering the complaint, pre-summoning evidence, documentary material and the Section 225 BNSS investigation report, the Delhi court recorded prima-facie material to take cognizance and proceed against specified proposed accused persons. The court summoned Nikita Jaiswal under Sections 115, 303(2) and 351(2) of the BNS, and Narender Jaiswal and Kusumlata Jaiswal under Section 351(2). Nitish Jaiswal and Suchita Jaiswal, although named in the complaint, were not summoned at this stage. The matter is next listed for 16 November 2026.</div><div>Ayush Gupta made a police complaint on 29 December 2024, followed by another complaint on 25 April 2025 relating to the alleged loss of jewellery and ₹3 lakh in cash. He then filed the complaint before the Dwarka Court on 30 June 2025. Nikita Jaiswal’s Kanpur FIR was lodged on 21 September 2025, followed by a complaint under the Domestic Violence Act in Kanpur on 31 October 2025.</div><div>This chronology places Ayush Gupta’s Delhi complaint nearly three months ahead of the Kanpur FIR and establishes that the Delhi complaint had already been pending for nearly a year by the time the Kanpur proceedings received significant media attention in June 2026.</div><div>June 2026 reports on the Kanpur proceedings, including reports quoting Nikita Jaiswal’s counsel, did not refer to the earlier Dwarka complaint filed by Ayush Gupta in June 2025, which had already been pending for nearly a year. </div><div>The Kanpur case subsequently followed a separate procedural track. On Nikita Jaiswal’s objection to a chargesheet that named only Ayush Gupta, a Kanpur magistrate on 12 June 2026 summoned Ayush Gupta, members of his family and another person identified in media reports as a relative. According to a report published by Amar Ujala on 21 June 2026, the court also recommended disciplinary action in relation to the reassignment and handling of the investigation. </div><div>Ayush Gupta and the other applicants challenged the 12 June 2026 summoning order, the related chargesheets and the proceedings before the Allahabad High Court. In its order dated 3 August 2026, the High Court referred the matrimonial dispute to mediation and directed that the operation of the 12 June summoning order remain stayed until the next listing, subject to the conditions recorded in the order. The matter was directed to be listed in the week commencing 14 December 2026 along with the mediation report.</div><div><br></div><div>On 11 September 2026, proceedings under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act were also referred to mediation. The High Court directed that no coercive measures be taken against the applicants until the next date of listing, subject to the conditions recorded in the order. The matter is listed for 11 December 2026 along with the mediation report.</div><div><br></div><div>A separate development involving a relative of Nikita Jaiswal also appears in the wider public record.</div><div>Suchita Jaiswal, who is named as a proposed accused in Ayush Gupta’s Delhi complaint, is the elder sister of Nikita Jaiswal. Her husband, Arun Vikas Porwal, was reported in November 2024 as having been arrested in connection with a Kanpur POCSO case involving a minor NEET aspirant.</div><div>The New Indian Express reported on 10 November 2024 that Vikas Porwal, described as a chemistry instructor, was among two teachers arrested in the case and booked under provisions relating to rape, criminal intimidation, wrongful confinement and the POCSO Act.</div><div>The POCSO proceedings are separate from the matrimonial dispute, and the reference does not establish any involvement by Suchita Jaiswal in that case. </div><div><br></div><div>The Delhi matter is next listed for further proceedings on 16 November 2026 following the 5 September 2026 cognizance and summoning order. The Kanpur proceedings challenged before the Allahabad High Court have been referred to mediation, with the matter listed in the week commencing 14 December 2026. The separate Domestic Violence Act proceedings have also been referred to mediation, with the matter listed for 11 December 2026, subject to the Court’s interim directions.</div><div>The chronology now on record shows that Ayush Gupta’s Delhi complaint was already before a court months before the subsequent Kanpur FIR, while the Delhi proceeding has since progressed to the cognizance and summoning stage following a court-directed inquiry into documentary and other evidence.</div><div>Neither side’s case has been finally adjudicated at trial.</div>

Wealth calculations are a snapshot as of 24 August 2026, when the exchange rate was INR 95.63 to the US dollar.</div><div>The M3M Hurun India Rich List 2026 features 1,810 individuals, up 128 from last year, across 163 cities, 106 of them in India. Their combined wealth stands at INR 187.5 lakh crore (USD 1.96 trillion), a 12.8% rise, even as the Nifty 50 fell 3.9% and the Sensex declined 5.8% over the same period. India now counts a record 391 dollar billionaires, up 27 from last year. Gautam Adani (64) & family reclaim the No. 1 spot with INR 9.23 lakh crore, ahead of Mukesh Ambani (69) & family at INR 8.63 lakh crore, while LN Mittal (76) & family climb eight places to third at INR 3.39 lakh crore.

For M3M, our association with Hurun is not merely about putting a name to a list; it is about supporting a research-led effort to understand the economic forces and entrepreneurial journeys that are shaping India’s next phase of growth. The 2026 M3M Hurun India Rich List reflects the depth and dynamism of India’s wealth-creation story. With 70% of the 1,810 individuals being self-made and 347 new entrants, it is clear that India’s entrepreneurial ecosystem continues to expand and diversify, with growing participation from younger entrepreneurs and women. As a promoter, I see the Rich List as more than a measure of wealth; it offers a window into the sectors, cities and entrepreneurial journeys shaping India’s economic trajectory. I congratulate this year’s new entrants and all the wealth creators featured. For M3M, our partnership with Hurun represents a shared commitment to documenting these shifts and understanding where Indian enterprise is headed next.”</div><div><b>Anas Rahman Junaid, Founder and Chief Researcher, Hurun India</b>, said: “The M3M Hurun India Rich List 2026 captures a year in which wealth creation outpaced the stock market.

The movement also resonated internationally, with participation extending across 23 countries and 100 cities worldwide.</div><div><br></div><div>This was not simply a journey across geographical boundaries. It was a journey across India’s rich cultural, linguistic, social and spiritual diversity, bringing together different traditions, generations, communities and ways of life under one shared message: I AM PEACE.</div><div><br></div><div>The Yatra reflected the timeless spirit of Bharat, a land where diversity has always found space within the larger idea of unity. From one region to another, different languages, customs, attire, music and cultural expressions came together, while the message remained the same: peace begins within the individual and finds its expression in the world.</div><div><br></div><div>At the heart of the movement was the powerful thought: “<b>Antarik Shanti Se Vishwa Shanti</b>” - From Inner Peace to World Peace. The Vishwa Shanti Yatra invited every individual to look beyond peace as merely an aspiration for nations or societies. It called upon people to recognise their own role in creating a more peaceful world - the need of the hour. The idea is simple: when individuals choose peace, they begin impacting their families and communities, and in turn, the nation and the world at large.</div><div><br></div><div><b>The message “I Am Peace”, inspired by Prem Avaatar Maitreya Dadashree</b>, has become a simple yet profound affirmation carried by people across Bharat. Through peace walks, human chains, placards, dialogues and collective expressions, the Yatra transformed this inner message into a visible public movement.</div><div><br></div><div>The highlight of the event was the launch of the World Peace Prayer, with the grace and <b>blessings of Maitreya Dadashree</b>. The objective of the prayer was to unite humanity in a collective expression of peace, compassion and solidarity, affirming the shared responsibility to create a peaceful world.</div><div><br></div><div>The most powerful expression of the Yatra was perhaps the diversity of those who participated. Children and elders. Students and professionals. Families and young people. Citizens from different communities, professions, cultures and backgrounds. Social organisations, educational institutions, wellness communities and people from diverse walks of life stepped forward together.</div><div><br></div><div>With more than 10,000 people participating across 35+ locations in Bharat, each city brought its own character, culture and expression - together creating a powerful tapestry of peace.</div><div><br></div><div>The Yatra became a celebration of what Bharat represents: unity without uniformity, diversity without division, and a shared human aspiration that transcends every boundary.</div><div><br></div><div>While Bharat stood at the heart of the movement, the message of “I Am Peace” resonated internationally, with participation extending across 23 countries and 100 cities worldwide. The movement connected people beyond geography, reminding the world that peace is a universal language.</div><div><br></div><div>Speaking on the occasion, <b>Mitra Prawesh, General Secretary, Akhil Bharatiya Adhyatmik Samiti</b>, said, “Bharat has always celebrated the many as one. The Vishwa Shanti Yatra is an expression of that timeless spirit. From one corner of the nation to another, people have come together and walked together with one intention - peace. When inner peace becomes the foundation of our thoughts, words and actions, it naturally begins to touch our families, our communities and the world. This is the spirit of ‘Antarik Shanti Se Vishwa Shanti’.”</div><div><br></div><div>A prominent personality associated with the Yatra said, “What makes this movement meaningful is its simplicity. There is no complexity in the message - I Am Peace. Yet, when people from different regions, generations and backgrounds come together and carry the same intention, that simple message acquires a collective power. Bharat has shown that its extraordinary diversity can become a beautiful expression of unity when we come together for humanity.”</div><div><br></div><div>The Yatra was non-political and faith neutral, welcoming every individual irrespective of background, belief, profession, age or community.</div><div><br></div><div>The Vishwa Shanti Yatra 2026 stands as a collective reminder that the journey towards world peace can begin with something profoundly simple:</div><div>I CHOOSE PEACE. I AM PEACE.</div><div>EK BHARAT HUM BHARAT. ONE WORLD ONE FAMILY.</div><div><br></div><div>www.abastrust.org</div>
