A first-of-its-kind platform connecting patients with verified dermatologist-led skin, hair and aesthetic care across India~

Mumbai, 23rd July 2026:  Mumbai-based Aakaar Medical Technologies Ltd., a company listed on the NSE Emerge platform is a leading provider of technologies and solutions for cosmetic dermatology and medical aesthetics, today announced the launch of XELIX, a first-of-its-kind national platform that connects patients with qualified dermatologists and aesthetic experts across India. Developed to improve access to safe, ethical and evidence-based dermatology and aesthetic care, XELIX enables patients to discover, verify with qualified specialists through a curated network of dermatologist-led clinics across the country.

The platform was unveiled at the FAHA Dermatology Conference in the presence of leading dermatologists and aesthetic medicine specialists, including Dr. Jerryl Banait, Dr. Syed Nazim, Dr. V S Rathore and dr. Vijay Nagdev.

India has witnessed a sharp rise in demand for treatments for acne, pigmentation, hair loss, anti-ageing and cosmetic concerns etc., patients are increasingly overwhelmed by the sheer volume of online information, influencer recommendations and unverified clinics. While social media has made aesthetic treatments more visible than ever before, it has also made it difficult for patients to distinguish between qualified dermatologists and untrained practitioners. Medical associations across India have repeatedly cautioned against cosmetic procedures being performed by unqualified individuals due to the risk of burns, scarring, infections and permanent skin damage. 

Recognising the growing need for greater transparency in dermatology and aesthetic care, XELIX brings together a curated network of verified, dermatologist-led clinics that follow standardized, evidence-based treatment protocols. The platform includes specialists in dermatology, trichology, plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine, enabling patients to access qualified experts for a wide range of skin, hair and cosmetic concerns. Each clinic within the network is supported by advanced diagnostic technologies and follows established clinical practices to ensure consistent standards of care.

Through the platform, patients can search for certified specialists based on their city or treatment requirement, review doctor profiles and book appointments with the nearest XELIX-associated clinic through a seamless digital interface. Covering conditions such as acne, pigmentation, hair loss, skin rejuvenation and anti-ageing etc, XELIX is designed to simplify the patient journey while helping individuals make informed healthcare decisions. Every consultation begins with a detailed clinical evaluation, with treatment recommendations based on medical evidence and individual patient needs rather than trends or promotional claims.

Dr. Vijay Nagdev, MD,  Dermatologist said, “Aesthetic treatments are medical procedures and should always be performed by qualified and trained doctors. Choosing an unqualified provider can increase the risk of infections, scarring, skin damage, poor results, and other health complications. Through its trusted network of verified dermatologists and aesthetic specialists, XELIX helps patients find the right experts for safe, evidence-based, and ethical care, while promoting high standards of treatment and patient safety.”

Dr. V. S Rathore (Master of Surgery degree in general surgery and M.Ch. in plastic surgery)

The rapid growth of aesthetic medicine has created tremendous opportunities for patients, but it has also made choosing the right healthcare provider increasingly challenging. Today, patients are often influenced by social media, online promotions, and marketing claims, making it difficult to identify qualified medical experts for their skin, hair, and aesthetic concerns. XELIX has been created to bridge this gap by connecting patients with qualified, certified dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and aesthetic physicians. Our vision is to make it easier for every patient to identify the right specialist for their hair, skin, and aesthetic concerns while ensuring access to evidence-based treatments, standardized clinical protocols, and the highest standards of patient care. XELIX is not just a platform—it is a commitment to restoring trust, transparency, and clinical excellence in aesthetic healthcare."

Neeru Sharma’s Debut Film Bandra Boy Gains International Recognition at Two New York Film Festivals

 Neeru Sharma’s Debut Film Bandra Boy Gains International Recognition at Two New York Film Festivals

Mumbai: Former entertainment journalist-turned-filmmaker Neeru Sharma has received a major boost in her filmmaking journey as her debut short film Bandra Boy earned recognition at two international film festivals in New York.

The 21-minute Hindi thriller has been named a Semifinalist at the Frames of New York Film Festival and has also been recognized as an Award Winner at the New York International Women Festival, marking a significant achievement for Sharma's first film as a writer and director.  

Bandra Boy explores themes of media narratives, public perception and the fine line between truth and opinion in the digital age. The film examines how headlines, public scrutiny and social judgment can shape a person's image long before facts emerge, a subject that has resonated with festival audiences and juries alike.

For Sharma, who spent more than two decades covering Bollywood and the entertainment industry as a journalist before moving into filmmaking, the recognition carries special significance.

“I am extremely happy and grateful that Bandra Boy, my debut film as a director, is receiving international recognition. This story comes from years of observing the entertainment industry, media culture and the way public perception is formed. Such recognition motivates me to continue telling meaningful stories,” said Neeru Sharma.

Before making Bandra Boy, Sharma pursued formal training in filmmaking at Whistling Woods International, founded by filmmaker Subhash Ghai. Her transition from journalism to cinema has attracted attention within industry circles, with many viewing the film as a reflection of her years of experience reporting on celebrity culture and media narratives.

The film stars Ahwaan Kumar in the lead role, alongside acclaimed Gujarati and Marathi actor Dharmendra Gohil. The ensemble cast also includes Lochan Barsagade, Yash Pednekar, Sham Thombare, Pawan Tiwari, Aishwarya Manohar, Himanshi Mandalia and Nandini Sharma.

Produced by Rajeev Parashar, Bandra Boy features editing by Sandeep Kurup, known for films such as Mubarakan, Sadak 2 and Crakk. Cinematography has been handled by Aayush Shah, while the background score is composed by Kaushal Mahavir.

The film has already begun its international festival journey, and its early success at two New York-based festivals has positioned it among the notable independent Indian short films currently making an impact overseas. For Neeru Sharma, the achievement marks an encouraging start to a new chapter—one that has taken her from reporting stories to creating them.

*EVA Live Founder Deepak Choudhary Faces Dubai Travel Ban and Asset Freeze Over Alleged Seven Crore Debt Amid Ongoing Legal Proceedings*

 *EVA Live Founder Deepak Choudhary Faces Dubai Travel Ban and Asset Freeze Over Alleged Seven Crore Debt Amid Ongoing Legal Proceedings*

Dubai / Mumbai, 03 July, 2026 — Indian entertainment promoter Deepak Choudhary, Founder & MD of *EVA Live (India & Middle East) & EVENTFAQS Media* has found himself at the centre of a legal storm in Dubai, after court judgments reportedly barred him from leaving the UAE and froze his assets in connection with debts of approximately AED 2,993,058, ( ₹7.70 crore).

According to court documents, one judgment issued by the Dubai courts on *11 June 2026 imposed a travel ban against Choudhary.* A separate decision from the Dubai execution court reportedly ordered the freezing of his bank accounts, cards, properties, receivables and other assets for the purpose of enforcing payment of the outstanding debt.

Choudhary was reportedly preparing to board a flight from Dubai to Mumbai from Dubai airport on 11 June 2026. The travel restriction was issued shortly before his departure, preventing him from leaving the UAE at the last moment.

The claims reportedly involve allegations that substantial sums remain unpaid to parties who funded, supported or assisted with events promoted by Choudhary and his associated companies. Some complainants allege that funds were misapplied or were not used in accordance with the agreed commercial arrangements.

Deepak Choudhary, long regarded as a familiar figure in the Indian entertainment and live-events industry, built his reputation over many years through personal relationships with artists, celebrity managers, sponsors, venues and regional event partners.

In live entertainment, he has been associated with *EVA Live (India & Middle East), EVENTFAQS Media,* and the organisation of large-scale concerts and festivals, including events and platforms backed by major commercial sponsors such as *Mastercard* , described by industry sources as one of the prominent sponsors connected to his event portfolio.

According to persons familiar with the disputes, Choudhary has become the subject of several civil and execution-related proceedings in the UAE, including claims connected to companies through which he allegedly organised entertainment events and promotional activities.

Several artists and commercial partners are now expected to review their association with Choudhary and his related companies. Some may distance themselves entirely until the legal position becomes clearer.

*From Grand Clio Glory to Cannes Silver: Mumbai’s 'Infinite Saree campaign' Dominates Global Creative Festivals in 2026*

 *From Grand Clio Glory to Cannes Silver: Mumbai’s 'Infinite Saree campaign' Dominates Global Creative Festivals in 2026*

*Mumbai*, Infinite Saree, the powerful social impact campaign advocating for the removal of the Marital Rape Exception from Indian law, took the global centre stage by being honoured with 1 Silver Lion at Cannes Lions International Festival of Cre⁷ativity 2026 and 14 Clio Awards, including the inaugural Women’s Health Grand Clio, at the 2026 Clio Health Award. The campaign was developed for the Red Dot Foundation(Mumbai) by Klick Health(Canada),  MediaMedic Communications(Mumbai) and others.

*Dinesh Chindarkar, Co-Founder & Director of MediaMedic Communications, said*, "We are proud to have been part of a campaign that combined purpose, culture, and advocacy; and the recognition with the Clio Health Awards and Cannes Lions demonstrates how powerful collaborations can elevate important conversations and bring global visibility to issues that matter."

Commenting on the recognition, *Supreet K. Singh, Co-founder & CEO, Red Dot Foundation, said*, "‘Infinite Saree’ was created to amplify the voices of women seeking legal protection and justice. This recognition reflects the strength of collective action and the ability of creative storytelling to bring critical social issues into mainstream discourse."

The global recognition of ‘Infinite Saree’ underscores the growing role of purpose-driven creativity in advancing social change. As conversations around women’s safety, equality, and legal rights continue to evolve, the campaign stands as a testament to the power of collective voices and creative advocacy in driving awareness and action. The campaign centred around a four-kilometre-long saree—believed to be the world's longest—designed by acclaimed fashion designer Nivedita Saboo and embroidered with thousands of signatures supporting its removal from the Indian Penal Code. Installed as a living petition at Mumbai's Royal Opera House, and later at KalaGhoda, it mobilized public participation and sparked nationwide conversations on women's rights, dignity, and safety.
