International Experts Unveil Benchmark BMAC Consensus Guidelines at REGEN 2026

 International Experts Unveil Benchmark BMAC Consensus Guidelines at REGEN 2026

MUMBAI: In a significant milestone for regenerative medicine, the first internationally developed consensus guidelines for the clinical use of Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) were officially unveiled on Saturday at REGEN 2026. The two-day international conference, hosted at Aurika by Lemon Tree in Mumbai, brought together renowned medical experts from India, Europe, South America, and the United States to establish a standardized, evidence-based framework for orthopaedic practice.

​The landmark gathering, organized by the Suryodaya Foundation alongside key regional orthopaedic associations, featured critical scientific sessions on orthobiologics including PRP, BMAC, and MFAT. A major highlight was the presentation of a novel biological classification system for knee osteoarthritis by Dr. Sharmila Tulpule, Chairperson of REGEN 2026. This new system moves beyond traditional radiographic grading by placing greater focus on biological parameters.

​Addressing the assembly, Dr. Tulpule emphasized the transition toward clinical consistency. "REGEN 2026 is about moving regenerative orthopaedics from promise to evidence-based practice. The development of these BMAC Consensus Guidelines through collaboration among experts from India, Europe, South America and the USA marks an important step towards greater clinical consistency and informed decision-making," she stated.

​Distinguished international faculties including Prof. Nicola Maffulli, Dr. Fabio Sciarretta, Dr. Nathan Katz, Dr. Don Buford, and Dr. Massimo Piracci engaged with leading Indian practitioners during the event, which also hosted the American Board of Regenerative Medicine diplomate convocation. Building upon its inaugural 2025 edition, REGEN 2026 continues to bridge global scientific evidence with local clinical expertise to shape the future of biological orthopaedics.

गोंधळ, गंमत आणि ‘मांजर’चं गूढ… ट्रेलरने वाढवली उत्सुकता ! १८ सप्टेंबरला होणार उलगडा

गोंधळ, गंमत आणि ‘मांजर’चं गूढ… ट्रेलरने वाढवली उत्सुकता ! १८ सप्टेंबरला होणार उलगडा

‘मांजर’च्या पोस्टरपासूनच या चित्रपटाचं नाव प्रेक्षकांचं लक्ष वेधून घेत आहे. त्यानंतर प्रदर्शित झालेल्या टीझरमधूनही ‘मांजर’च्या नावामागचं रहस्य कायम ठेवण्यात आलं. ‘मांजर’चा या चित्रपटाशी नेमका काय संबंध आहे, याचं उत्तर मिळेल अशी अपेक्षा असतानाच आता ‘मांजर’च्या ट्रेलरने हा प्रश्न आणखीनच गुंतागुंतीचा केला आहे.

ट्रेलरमध्ये चार मित्रांच्या आयुष्यात एका मागोमाग एक घडणाऱ्या भन्नाट प्रसंगांमुळे अक्षरशः उलटापालट होताना दिसत आहे. एखादी गोष्ट सुरळीत करण्याचा प्रयत्न केला की ती आणखी बिघडते आणि त्यातून नवा किस्सा तयार होतो. या सगळ्या प्रसंगांमध्ये निर्माण होणारा विनोद, पात्रांची धावपळ आणि एकमेकांना सावरण्याच्या नादात वाढत जाणारा गोंधळ यामुळे हा चित्रपट फॅमिली एंटरटेनर आहे हे नक्की!

सिद्धार्थ मेनन, ओंकार भोजने, तेजस राऊत आणि भाग्यश्री लिमये यांच्या व्यक्तिरेखांमधून या गंमतीजंमतींचा केंद्रबिंदू उलगडतो. त्यांच्या स्वभावातील फरक आणि एकत्र आल्यानंतर निर्माण होणाऱ्या परिस्थितीमुळे प्रत्येक प्रसंगाला वेगळीच गंमत निर्माण होते. त्यांच्यासोबत सयाजी शिंदे, अंशुमन विचारे, वैष्णवी अंधाडे आणि अश्विनी काळसेकर यांच्याही भूमिका कथेत रंगत आणताना दिसतात. प्रत्येक पात्र या गोष्टीत काही ना काही भर घालत असल्याने पुढच्या क्षणी काय होणार, याचा अंदाज बांधणं कठीण होतं.

मात्र ट्रेलरमध्येही एक प्रश्न कायम अनुत्तरित राहातो, तो म्हणजे ‘मांजर’चा या सगळ्या गोष्टींशी नेमका संबंध काय? ट्रेलरच्या शेवटी ‘पिक्चरचं नाव ‘मांजर’ जरी असलं ना, तरी तिच्याशी माझा काही संबंध…’ हा संवाद ऐकू येतो आणि ट्रेलर संपतो आणि त्यानंतर ऐकू येतो तो मांजराचा आवाज. त्यामुळे ‘मांजर’चा या सगळ्या गोंधळाशी काही संबंध आहे की नाही, की या नावामागे आणखी काही भन्नाट ट्विस्ट दडला आहे, हे जाणून घेण्याची उत्सुकता आता आणखी वाढली आहे.

दिग्दर्शक सुशील महादेव म्हणतात, “‘मांजर’ हा चित्रपट प्रेक्षकांना मनापासून हसवणारा आणि शेवटपर्यंत गुंतवून ठेवणारा चित्रपट आहे. पडद्यावर घडणाऱ्या गंमतीजंमतींचा आनंद घेताना प्रेक्षकांनी स्वतःलाही या प्रवासाचा एक भाग समजावं, हीच आमची इच्छा आहे. हा चित्रपट फॅमिली एंटरटेनर असल्याने प्रेक्षकांनी हा चित्रपट आपल्या कुटुंबासोबत पाहावा.”

एचथ्रीओ मोशन पिक्चर्स आणि जस्ट राईट फिल्म्स प्रस्तुत ‘मांजर’ या चित्रपटाचं दिग्दर्शन सुशील महादेव यांनी केलं आहे. सिद्धार्थ मेनन, ओंकार भोजने, तेजस राऊत, भाग्यश्री लिमये, सयाजी शिंदे, अंशुमन विचारे, वैष्णवी आंधळे आणि अश्विनी काळसेकर अशी तगडी स्टारकास्ट यात पाहायला मिळणार आहे. हर्ष, अविनाश शर्मा, हरि राजपूत, बंटी नागी आणि जसबीर नागी यांनी चित्रपटाची निर्मिती केली आहे. एए फिल्म्सकडून चित्रपटाचं वितरण करण्यात येणार असून, ‘मांजर’ येत्या १८ सप्टेंबर रोजी सर्वत्र प्रदर्शित होणार आहे.

 BondsIndia's Rebranding as 'DigiFin'

Target of Expanding to 50 Cities in 5 Years

Mumbai, Sep 8 (Representative): BondsIndia, India's leading digital fixed income investment platform, today officially announced its rebranding under the new name 'DigiFin'. This new identity symbolizes the company's evolution from a purely bond-centric marketplace to a comprehensive digital platform for fixed income investments. 

DigiFin's vision is to provide a wide suite of digital fixed income products while making investment simpler, more transparent, and accessible for retail investors, banks, and institutions. This rebranding is strongly backed by the 'Ashika Group' and the 'DigiFin Foundation'.

​Speaking on the occasion, Ankit Gupta, Founder of DigiFin, said, "When we started as BondsIndia, our objective was to simplify bond investments for retail investors. Over the past few years, we have earned the trust of over 1.75 lakh users. DigiFin represents this larger vision. The next phase of our growth will focus on expanding beyond metro cities, reaching emerging towns, and helping more Indians transform their hard-earned savings into long-term wealth through technology-driven investing."

​He further added, "Retail participation in corporate bonds is still at an early stage, with awareness at merely 10%. This untapped market presents a massive opportunity for DigiFin to expand fixed income investing and bring millions of first-time investors into the formal investment ecosystem."

​To date, DigiFin has facilitated transactions worth over ₹14,000 crore across 90 bond issues and currently serves more than 1.75 lakh users. Eligible investors can onboard the platform by completing KYC in just 3 minutes. In its next phase of growth, the company aims to establish a presence in over 50 cities over the next 5 years, with a special focus on India's Tier III and Tier IV markets. Additionally, it plans to double its workforce over the next 2 years.

​India's investment landscape is currently undergoing a major shift, with over 21.6 crore demat accounts in the country. Although the corporate bond market has grown at an annual rate of 12% over the past decade, less than 1% of Indian households currently invest in it. DigiFin is taking the initiative to bridge this gap.

*प्रसिद्ध अभिनेते - दिग्दर्शक अजित भुरे यांच्या हस्ते प्रयोगशाळेचे उद्घाटन संपन्न ; रॅस्पबेरी पाय, अर्डुइनो, इंटरनेट ऑफ थिंग्जसह ९० प्रत्यक्ष प्रकल्पांचा समावेश!&

मुंबई, ७ सप्टेंबर : दादर पश्चिम येथील १८९२ साली स्थापन झालेल्या 'जनरल एज्युकेशन इन्स्टिट्यूट'च्या (General Education Institute) 'छबिलदास इंग्लिश मीडियम स्कूल' (Chhabildas English Medium School, (CBSE Affiliated) शाळेत विद्यार्थ्यांना आधुनिक तंत्रज्ञानाचे प्रत्यक्ष आणि प्रयोगाधारित शिक्षण मिळावे, या उद्देशाने उभारण्यात आलेल्या अत्याधुनिक कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता, गणित व रोबोटिक्स प्रयोगशाळेचे उद्घाटन प्रसिद्ध डबिंग आर्टिस्ट, अभिनेते, दिग्दर्शक व निर्माते अजित भुरे यांच्या हस्ते आज झाले. या प्रयोगशाळेमुळे दादर परिसरातील विद्यार्थ्यांसाठी कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता, रोबोटिक्स आणि इंटरनेट आधारित तंत्रज्ञान प्रत्यक्ष अनुभवण्याची नवी संधी उपलब्ध झाली आहे. याप्रसंगी संस्थेचे अध्यक्ष शैलेंद्र साळवी यांनी मान्यवरांचे स्वागत करून त्यांना या आधुनिक लॅबद्दल माहिती दिली. कोषाध्यक्ष रवींद्र ताम्रस, संचालिका आरती राऊत, माजी विद्यार्थी विजय पाध्ये यांसह अनेक आजी - माजी विद्यार्थी - संचालक - शिक्षकांची विशेष उपस्थिती लाभली होती.

या प्रयोगशाळेचे प्रात्यक्षिक आणि सादरीकरण कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता व रोबोटिक्स सल्लागार डॉ. अमेय पांगारकर यांनी केले. विद्यार्थ्यांनी केवळ तंत्रज्ञान समजून न घेता ते स्वतः हाताळावे, प्रयोग करावेत, प्रश्न विचारावेत आणि स्वतःच्या कल्पनांमधून नवनवे प्रकल्प निर्माण करावेत, या उद्देशाने प्रयोगशाळेची रचना करण्यात आली आहे.

प्रयोगशाळेत रॅस्पबेरी पाय, अर्डुइनो आणि इंटरनेट ऑफ थिंग्ज या तंत्रज्ञानावर आधारित एकूण ९० प्रत्यक्ष प्रकल्पांचा समावेश आहे. तापमान, आर्द्रता, हवामान, सुरक्षा, हालचाल, मातीतील ओलावा, वायू गळती, आरएफआयडी, प्रकाश नियंत्रण, वाहनतळ, पाण्याची पातळी आदी विविध विषयांवरील प्रकल्प विद्यार्थ्यांना प्रत्यक्ष तयार करता व हाताळता येणार आहेत. याशिवाय पायथॉन संगणक प्रोग्रामिंग, तर्कशक्ती विकास, ड्रोन जोडणी, इलेक्ट्रॉनिक्स आणि कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्तेच्या विविध संकल्पनांचे प्रशिक्षण दिले जाणार आहे.

शाळेतील वर्गखोल्यांमध्येही आधुनिक शैक्षणिक सुविधा उपलब्ध करून देण्यात आल्या आहेत. आकर्षक भित्तिचित्रे, रंगसंगती, आधुनिक बाके(बेंचेस), डिजिटल फलक, पडदे, ध्वनियंत्रणा आणि विविध शैक्षणिक साधनांमुळे वर्गखोल्यांना आधुनिक रूप देण्यात आले आहे. उद्घाटनापूर्वी मान्यवरांनी वर्गखोल्यांची पाहणी केली.

कार्यक्रमात रोबोट, मानवरूपी रोबोट, ड्रोन आणि विविध यांत्रिक उपकरणांचे प्रत्यक्ष प्रात्यक्षिक सादर करण्यात आले. त्यामुळे विद्यार्थी आणि पालकांमध्ये मोठे कुतूहल निर्माण झाले. विद्यार्थ्यांनी डॉ. पांगारकर यांच्याशी संवाद साधत कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता आणि रोबोटिक्सविषयी अनेक प्रश्न विचारले. कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्तेचा योग्य, सर्जनशील आणि जबाबदारीने वापर कसा करावा, याबाबतही त्यांनी मार्गदर्शन केले.

*“तंत्रज्ञान शिकविण्यापेक्षा तंत्रज्ञानातून विचार करायला शिकविणे महत्त्वाचे”*

General Education Institute चे अध्यक्ष शैलेंद्र साळवी म्हणाले, “१८९२ पासून शिक्षणाची परंपरा जपत आलेल्या संस्थेने काळानुसार तंत्रज्ञान स्वीकारले आहे. विद्यार्थ्यांना केवळ तंत्रज्ञान शिकविणे हा आमचा उद्देश नाही; तर त्यांना प्रश्न विचारणारे, प्रयोग करणारे आणि स्वतःच्या कल्पनांमधून नवनिर्मिती करणारे विद्यार्थी घडविणे हे आमचे ध्येय आहे.”

अजित भुरे यांनी या उपक्रमाचे कौतुक करताना सांगितले, “मुलांनी केवळ पाठ्यपुस्तकातून ज्ञान घेण्याऐवजी प्रश्न विचारले, प्रयोग केले आणि स्वतः काहीतरी निर्माण केले पाहिजे. या प्रयोगशाळेत विद्यार्थ्यांच्या चेहऱ्यावर दिसणारे कुतूहल आणि उत्साह हीच या उपक्रमाची खरी ताकद आहे.”

मुख्याध्यापिका सौ. कोमल कडवे म्हणाल्या, “विद्यार्थ्यांनी तयार उत्तरे शोधण्याऐवजी स्वतः प्रश्न विचारावेत, प्रयोग करावेत आणि स्वतः नवनिर्मिती करावी, ही आमची भूमिका आहे. 'कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता, गणित आणि रोबोटिक्स' या प्रयोगशाळेमुळे छबिलदासच्या आमच्या विद्यार्थ्यांचे शिक्षण अधिक अनुभवाधारित आणि आनंददायी होणार आहे.”

*कुतूहल जागविणे हेच मुख्य उद्दिष्ट*

“सहज आणि झटपट उत्तरे मिळविण्याची सवय लावण्यापेक्षा विद्यार्थ्यांमधील कुतूहल जागृत करणे” हा या उपक्रमाचा मुख्य विचार आहे. *“येथे स्वप्न पाहा • सर्वत्र यश मिळवा”* या संकल्पनेतून विद्यार्थ्यांच्या कल्पनाशक्तीला आणि सर्जनशीलतेला चालना देत त्यांना भविष्यातील तंत्रज्ञानासाठी तयार करण्याचा प्रयत्न करण्यात येत आहे.

कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता, रोबोटिक्स, नवोन्मेष आणि प्रयोगाधारित शिक्षण यांच्या माध्यमातून विद्यार्थ्यांना भविष्यातील संधींसाठी सक्षम करण्याच्या दिशेने Chhabildas English Medium School ने उचललेले हे महत्त्वपूर्ण पाऊल असल्याचे मत उपस्थित मान्यवर व पालकांनी नोंदवले.
