The Beginning of Urvann: From Management Consultants to Starting India's Greenest Plants Delivery Service
VMPL New Delhi [India], August 18: While India's startup darlings were chasing unicorn status in food delivery and fintech, two management consultants decided to bet their future on something far leafier. When Sambhav Jain quit his successful career at KPMG and Akanksha Gupta walked away from her strategic consulting role at Deloitte in 2021, industry observers might have questioned their judgment. After all, who leaves the security of Big Four consulting to cultivate gardens? Yet their seemingly unconventional pivot represents a larger shift in Indian entrepreneurship where seasoned professionals are applying business expertise to solve everyday problems, uncovering billion-dollar opportunities in the process. Sambhav, a Chartered Accountant with an MBA from IIM-Ahmedabad, and Akanksha, armed with her ISB credentials, had built impressive corporate careers. But beneath their success stories lay a shared passion that would eventually change their carefully planned trajectories. For Sambhav, gardening was not a hobby but a deep inclination towards nature, something he had always embraced. His profound connection to the planet had led him to conduct over 150 gardening workshops for corporate giants like Google, DE Shaw, and Coursera. Meanwhile, Akanksha's green awakening came during the pandemic, when cities went into lockdown and people found solace in their homes. She discovered the therapeutic power of nurturing plants, developing a keen interest in creating green sanctuaries within the confines of homes and shared spaces. With lockdowns in place and no way to visit physical nurseries, there was no avenue for plant parents to get their leafy companions anymore. So, what they saw wasn't just a $3 billion market-they saw balconies devoid of greenery, children who believed gardening was rocket science, and a nation yearning for a connection with nature. Being passionate gardeners themselves, they witnessed the frustration of fellow plant enthusiasts who struggled with poor plant quality, delayed deliveries, and exorbitant shipping costs from online retailers. Plants were being shipped across vast distances, arriving wilted and stressed after days in transit boxes filled with plastic packaging. Sambhav's market analysis uncovered that the majority of plastic waste in e-commerce came from packaging alone, with nearly half of all plastic being used just once before being discarded. Their breakthrough insight came from recognizing that plants, unlike other e-commerce products, are living entities that require intense care and proper handling. This realization birthed their philosophy of "Green at the speed of light"-growing fresh plants, tending to them with effort and care, and delivering them within 24 hours. The Indian gardening market they entered was vast and rapidly expanding, valued at approximately $3 billion with a projected 15 percent CAGR growth rate. This represented a massive opportunity in a sector that had been largely overlooked by many entrepreneurs, who dismissed gardening as difficult to scale. However, the husband-wife team saw beyond these challenges, recognizing that India's growing population was increasingly seeking ways to reconnect with nature. At the heart of Urvann's exponential growth across cities lies a budding work culture built on three foundational pillars: inclusivity, sustainability, and an open-door policy. The company has nurtured an environment where every team member feels empowered to contribute ideas and strategies. This inclusive culture has created a flood of creative solutions that have propelled Urvann from a two-person startup to a 200+ member organization spanning 9 cities and 350+ pin codes. Sustainability is not merely a business strategy at Urvann but a core value that permeates every decision. Operating under their motto "Zero wastage, zero compromise", the company's pledge to plastic-free packaging has saved 350,000 kilograms of plastic waste. At the same time, their 200+ electric vehicle fleet has conserved 50,000 liters of fuel. This environmental consciousness extends to their workplace culture, where employees are encouraged to champion environmentally responsible practices. Who would have predicted that two MBA graduates with stellar consulting careers would find their fortune in soil and seeds? Today, Urvann has become a household name among India's plant parents, proving that the most unconventional ideas often yield extraordinary results. From 2 cities to soon covering the nation, Urvann's dream is to unite plant lovers with the best variety of leafy greens at competitive prices. In boardrooms across the country, executives still debate market penetration strategies and customer acquisition costs. But in a small Delhi apartment where it all began, two former consultants proved that sometimes the most revolutionary business models start with the most fundamental human need-the desire to nurture life.

India Set to Add 2.3 Million AI Jobs by 2027, Redefining Global Talent Flows
VMPL Las Vegas (Nevada) [US], August 14: At Ai4 2025, North America's largest artificial intelligence (AI) industry event, Sanjay Puri, Founder of RegulatingAI and Chairman of Knowledge Networks Group, delivered a rallying call for inclusive global AI talent development. In his solo keynote, "Democratizing AI Talent: Bridging Policy, Innovation, and Equity," Puri outlined how India's rapid AI transformation, powered by a INR 10,300 crore IndiaAI Mission, 18,693 GPUs, and a 16% share of the global AI talent pool, is positioning the nation to lead Global South in supplying nearly half the world's STEM graduates by 2030, redefining the Global South from "talent consumer" to "talent exporter." AI talent pipelines today remain concentrated in the Global North, shaped by systems that favour English-speaking, resource-rich contexts. However, that landscape is beginning to shift. India has already overtaken the United States as the largest user base for ChatGPT, accounting for 13.5% of global monthly active users in June. It also ranks as the world's third-largest user of DeepSeek, signalling a surge in digital literacy and appetite for AI tools across the Global South. At the recent launch of OpenAI's latest model, GPT-5, CEO Sam Altman underscored this shift, noting that India is now the company's second-largest market after the United States, and could soon take the top spot. In his solo talk at the AI summit, Sanjay Puri said, "By 2030, India and the Global South will not just consume AI talent, but export it at scale. This can only be achieving with the democratization of AI talent and dismantling the invisible walls of the industry, building South-North skill corridors, and closing the rural-urban gap at home. Mutual recognition of credentials and open policy sandboxes can empower coders from localized AI skilling hubs in Tier 2 and 3 Indian cities to launch world-class models on equal footing with Silicon Valley." His keynote came at a moment of global concern over the risks of technological exclusion and the centralization of AI power. While private companies dominate AI development in the West, Sanjay emphasized India's alternative model centres on policy, public sector innovation, and community-scale application. Government-backed initiatives such as the India AI Mission, Anuvadini, AI Kosh, and Bhashini are building a comprehensive ecosystem to foster AI innovation, strengthening regional language capabilities, collecting inclusive datasets, and collaborating with startups to build India-specific AI solutions. "India's AI story isn't about catching up. It is about setting the pace for the world. From frugal-AI health diagnostics that bring life-saving care to remote villages, to AI tutors reaching 300 million students, we are proving that equitable talent pipelines unlock innovations the Global North would not dream of," he added. Sanjay Puri sees India's approach as a model for nations throughout Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia, where AI must grow alongside education, digital access, and local participation. It is not about adapting to existing AI trends, but actively shaping them to serve developmental priorities such as healthcare access, quality education, rural connectivity, and financial inclusion. About Sanjay Puri Sanjay Puri is a globally recognised speaker on AI policy and regulation, Founder of Knowledge Networks Group, and host of the CAIO and Regulating AI podcasts, where he drives conversations on AI's societal impact, ethics, and innovation. An advocate for the creation of a Chief AI Officer (CAIO) role in the C-suite, he advises organizations on using AI responsibly for sustainable growth.

inDrive - India's Only Ride-Bargain App Launches Comfort Class Rides in India, Celebrating the Spirit of Freedom this Independence Day
VMPL New Delhi [India], August 14: inDrive, the world's fastest-growing urban mobility platform and India's only ride-bargain app, announces the launch of its Comfort Class rides in Kolkata and Chandigarh. The launch comes just ahead of India's Independence Day, symbolizing the platform's commitment to freedom of choice, fairness, and empowerment for both riders and drivers. Challenging the Status Quo - Celebrating Freedom in Mobility Much like India's fight for independence was rooted in the ideals of liberty and self-determination, inDrive is redefining ride-hailing by giving people the right to decide what's fair. Unlike traditional ride-hailing platforms that dictate fares through algorithms, inDrive empowers people to decide. Passengers propose a fare, drivers can accept, decline, or make a counteroffer, and both sides agree on what is fair. This two-way negotiation model eliminates algorithmic biases and breaks away from the duopoly that has long dominated the industry. By putting power back in the hands of people, inDrive ensures transparency, dignity, and the freedom to choose - values that resonate deeply on the eve of Independence Day. Comfort Class - More Choice, More Comfort With the launch of Comfort Class in Chandigarh, inDrive users now have the option to book rides in premium-condition sedan cars with air conditioning. These rides offer more space and extra legroom, ensuring a higher level of comfort throughout the journey. Passengers can enjoy a better travel experience at a fair price, riding with top-rated drivers (4.8+ ratings). At the same time, drivers in Comfort Class earn a little more per ride, creating a system where both riders and drivers win. By introducing Comfort Class, inDrive reinforces its commitment to fairness, quality, and choice, offering users a better way to travel while rewarding the platform's best drivers. Fair Play, Positive Impact, and Freedom inDrive's "fair play" business model is driven by one principle - mobility should be free from hidden systems and controlled by the people who use it. The company's approach mirrors the core spirit of Independence Day - freedom from imposed rules, and the right to decide your own path. "At inDrive, we believe mobility should be about freedom and fairness, not rigid algorithms or monopolies. Our bargaining model empowers people to set their own fares - a small act of independence in everyday life. The launch of Comfort Class rides in Kolkata and Chandigarh gives passengers a premium travel option, while allowing drivers to earn more. This Independence Day, we're proud to give our users more freedom of choice and a fairer way to travel," said Pratip Mazumder, India Country Manager, inDrive.
