 Mankind Pharma expands PetStar portfolio with launch of PetStar Delight cat food range 

National, 4th December 2025: Mankind Pharma, one of India's leading pharmaceutical companies, today announced the launch of PetStar Delight, expanding its PetStar brand into the cat food segment. The new range is formulated to support overall feline wellness and marks a significant milestone in the company's pet care journey, which began with the launch of PetStar dog food in 2022. 

The launch comes at a strategic time as India's cat food category, currently valued at approximately Rs 1,500 crore with monthly sales of Rs 120 crore, is growing at a compound annual growth rate of 18-20%. 

PetStar Delight is formulated with a powerful blend of functional ingredients including cranberry for urinary health, turmeric for immunity and digestive health, and essential taurine for vital organ support. Manufactured in Thailand, the product adheres to stringent quality standards and offers pet parents a clean label option with no artificial colours or preservatives. 

The PetStar Delight range is available in three palatable flavours (salmon, tuna and ocean fish) catering to varied feline preferences. The product line addresses two distinct life stages: kitten (one to 12 months) with 32% protein and 12% fat, and adult (12 months and above) with 30% protein and 10% fat, ensuring age-appropriate nutrition for growing kittens and mature cats. 

"Since launching PetStar in 2022, we have witnessed the tremendous potential of India's pet care market and the evolving needs of pet parents," said Rajeev Juneja, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, Mankind Pharma Limited. "With PetStar Delight, we are bringing the same commitment to quality, affordability and wellness that defines both our pharmaceutical business and our dog food range into feline nutrition. This expansion represents our dedication to providing scientifically formulated nutrition that supports the complete health of pets across species and life stages." 

Dr Piyush Prashant, Vice President and Head of Pet Food Division, Mankind Pharma Limited, said, "Since launching PetStar dog food manufactured in the UK using European raw materials and adhering to BRCGS standards, we've expanded our portfolio to include dry food, gravies and specialised nutrition like PetStar V Diet for dogs with specific dietary needs. With PetStar Delight, we're applying that same commitment to quality for cats. Each recipe combines superior palatability with functional nutrition, incorporating ingredients with specific health benefits: prebiotic beta-glucans and MOS for gut health, natural fibre for hairball control, salmon oil for brain development, choline for nerve health and yucca extract to reduce stool odour. We've created a comprehensive solution that addresses the real health concerns of cat owners." 

The product is available in three pack sizes (400g, 1kg and 2.8kg), with the 1kg pack priced at Rs 399 for the kitten range and Rs 375 for the adult range. PetStar Delight is being launched pan-India.

Press Release | Constl & Ciena Achieve Breakthrough 1 Tbps Transmission Across 1,450 km Long-Haul Network Using Wave Logic 6 Extreme

 Constl & Ciena Achieve Breakthrough 1 Tbps Transmission

Across 1,450 km Long-Haul Network Using Wave Logic 6 Extreme

• Constl becomes India’s first digital infrastructure provider to successfully test and deploy

a record-breaking 1 Tbps line rate over long-haul distance

• WL6e further strengthens Constl’s ambition to be the network of choice for hyperscalers in

India

• This upgrade delivers a strong competitive edge by increasing wavelength capacity and

reducing overall operational costs

NEW DELHI – December 4, 2025 – To capitalize on India’s burgeoning digital economy, Constl, a

subsidiary of Space World Group, has deployed Ciena's (NYSE: CIEN) Wave Logic 6 Extreme (WL6e)

solution. This follows a successful live trial in which Constl achieved a 1 Tbps line rate on a single

optical channel using WL6e across the 1,450 km Mumbai–Chennai route – one of the busiest and

most critical corridors for the digital infrastructure provider, without the need for regeneration.

“Since inception in 2023-just two years ago- Constl has deployed over 12,000 km of fibre and connected

around 100 data centers across 13 Indian cities, powered by Ciena’s industry-leading optical

technology,” said Ankit Goel, Chairman and Founder, Space World Group, the parent company of

Constl. “This milestone positions us to expand our terrestrial fibre network and deliver high capacity

800GbE services for the AI era.”

“Constl is committed to developing networks tailored to hyperscaler requirements, and Ciena’s coherent

optics are recognized as the best-in-class platform for high-capacity AI services,” said Amit Malik, Vice

President & General Manager, Asia Pacific, Japan and India, Ciena. “Together, we are driving next-

generation connectivity to support India’s digital future and AI ambitions.”

Using WL6e, Constl doubles fibre wavelength capacity from 800 Gb/s to 1.6 Tb/s when compared to

the earlier WaveLogic 5 Extreme deployment, while reducing cost per bit. The upgrade also improves

spectral efficiency and reduces power consumption. In addition to capacity gains, this trial is a testament

to the high-quality fibre infrastructure Constl is laying across India.

Tamil Nadu Cities Outshine Metros in Discreet Connections

Ashley Madison Winter Map Shows Surprising Dominance of Tamil Nadu Cities for Discreet Relationships 

2nd Dec 2025, India: With the winter chills setting in, the inclination to explore the discreet relationships, emotional spaces and shared intimacy is increasing, especially in South India. Ashley Madison, the world's leading platform for discreet relationships, mapped the top Indian cities that are highlighting a rising indulgence in discreet relationships. While New Delhi claimed the top position, 8 out of the top 10 cities (per capita) are located in Tamil Nadu (TN). 

Even though the country’s capital, New Delhi, leads the list, non-metro cities like Vellore, Coimbatore, Thanjavur, Dindigul, Thoothukudi, Erode, Tirunelveli and Salem from Tamil Nadu follow closely. The surge in the sign-ups for discreet relationships in regional spaces that are often considered culturally traditional indicates evolving definitions of relationships and commitment among the younger or middle-aged population, or a heightened desire for discretion in largely close-knit communities. 

The new rankings reinforce the trend previously seen, where the temple town of Kanchipuram took the #1 spot in the summer. The latest data indicates that this growing interest in discreet relationships has a majority of the top-ranking cities originating from the state of Tamil Nadu. The dominance of these Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities over major metros suggests that the desire to redefine relationships further from the traditional understanding, is now deeply rooted beyond India's urban centers. 

“We are seeing a clear shift in the narrative with a surprising cultural evolution in regions like Tamil Nadu. The presence of so many cities from the region in the top ranks suggests that while the communities here may be close-knit and traditional in nature, individuals are finding a safe and discreet outlet to explore their individuality and desires that their primary relationship may not necessarily fulfill. Seeing so many non-metro cities is a strong indication of growing personal autonomy,” says Dr. Tammy Nelson, Relationship Expert and Consultant at Ashley Madison. 

Paul Keable, Chief Strategy Officer at Ashley Madison, adds, "This data tells a compelling story of regional adoption. The significant presence of these Southern Indian cities at the top, demonstrates that the curiosity and need for relationship alternatives are becoming universal in India. Where Kanchipuram led the charge last time in the summer, a full cohort of non-metro Tamil Nadu cities is now showing that the desire to explore intimacy on one's own terms is a powerful and growing nationwide movement." 

The attached map offers a visual snapshot of India’s most curious and discreetly explorative cities this season, showcasing how approaches to relationships are being redefined around the country.

Press Note - Credlix and Embassy of India Advance India–Mexico Trade Corridor with Successful Buyer–Seller Meet 2025

 

India, December 01, 2025: Credlix, the financial arm of Moglix and a global fintech platform for cross-border supply-chain financing, in collaboration with the Embassy of India in Mexico and supported by the Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO), successfully concluded the India–Mexico Buyer–Seller Meet 2025 held from 19 to 21 November across Mexico City and Toluca.  

The three-day forum brought together 30+ leading Indian exporters representing automotive components, electricals, machinery, textiles, agro-processing, cosmetics, packaging and plastics. Mexican manufacturers and distributors participated in 200+ structured B2B meetings, sector dialogues and a curated visit to the Toluca industrial ecosystem, one of Mexico’s major manufacturing clusters.  

Speaking at the inaugural session, Ambassador of India to Mexico, H.E. Dr. Pankaj Sharma, emphasized the strategic value of deeper bilateral trade. “In a period of tariff uncertainty and evolving supply-chain patterns, India and Mexico have complementary strengths that can support more diversified and reliable industrial linkages,” he noted. He highlighted that bilateral trade stands at USD 12 billion, less than 0.1 percent of each nation’s global trade, indicating significant headroom for expansion.  

Ambassador Sharma observed that Mexican firms can leverage India’s manufacturing scale and digital capabilities, while Indian exporters can use Mexico’s position under the USMCA as an entry point into North and South American markets.  

India, now the world’s fourth-largest economy, continues to accelerate its manufacturing competitiveness, supported by a large workforce and strong digital infrastructure. Mexico remains a top-ten global exporter with entrenched strengths in automotive, aerospace, electronics and agriproducts. Their convergence positions both nations to benefit from new global supply-chain configurations.  

Rahul Garg, Founder and CEO of Moglix and Credlix, said, “Our vision is to strengthen the India–Mexico Trade Corridor by combining market access, digital financing and a trusted sourcing network. This platform enables Indian exporters to integrate into North American value chains while helping Mexican companies access high-quality, cost-competitive products with the support of fast, collateral-free export credit.”  

He added that Credlix’s work with MSMEs across multiple trade lanes positions the platform to address liquidity gaps for businesses on both sides.  

At the closing session, Susa Duque, General Director at the Mexican Council for Export, Investment and Technology (COMCE), noted, “Mexico and India are shaping a partnership that extends beyond trade. What we witnessed over the past three days reflects long-term potential in investment, sectoral collaboration and industrial cooperation.”  

Credlix showcased its digital trade-finance capabilities designed to support exporters with transparent risk assessment and faster liquidity. The meet concluded with discussions among government leaders, industry bodies and exporters on opportunities for joint investment, technology partnerships and expanded manufacturing collaboration as part of the India–Mexico Trade Corridor.
