India's First AI-driven Marketplace, Scrapcart Sets Out to Transform India's USD 18 Bn Waste Economy
Scrapcart has entered the fray to streamline that process, and empower industries, MNCs, SMEs, and recyclers to responsibly dispose of their waste while unlocking timely value from scrap through smart technology. Scrapcart is India's first AI-powered marketplace for industrial scrap trade, and runs on the principles of price transparency, easy documentation, assured material quantity and quality, and strong ESG compliances. The cutting-edge platform offers real-time bidding for scrap, made reliable through digital audits, secure and timely payments, and seamless transactions. Mr. Vineet Relia, Founder, Scrapcart 'The Indian scrap ecosystem is vast, yet under-digitised. At Scrapcart, we are building a scalable solution for industrial scrap including ferrous, non-ferrous, and e-waste that removes inefficiencies, empowers recyclers and makes responsible recycling not just possible but profitable,' said Vineet Relia, Founder, Scrapcart. 'Our AI-powered tech platform brings in accountability, compliance, and growth across our value chain with minimum human intervention,' he said There are over 62 million tonnes of waste generated annually in India, and the country's scrap market stands at a massive value of $18 billion. However, this market is still untapped since scrap management and trade is an unorganised sector, one that is marked by middlemen ruling the roost, trust issues, logistics hassles, and compliance concerns. Scrapcart's platform is designed to align with national circular economy objectives, including Swachh Bharat and extended producer responsibility (EPR) mandates. The price of scrap in the market changes every day, making it harder for organisations to operate in a streamlined and consistent manner, without risks. Scrapcart hopes to eliminate the uncertainty from the process, by bringing structure and security to the scrap management process. With a managed services approach on end-to-end logistics, and a tech-driven approach for the discovery, sale, and purchase of scrap, the platform is designed to deliver maximum value, no matter the buyer. Some of the salient features of Scrapcart's process include: No Middlemen: The platform digitises the conventional manual process of scrap sale and purchase to eliminate the traditional middlemen from the chain, and counter thefts and price leakages. AI-Enabled: Scrapcart leverages Artificial Intelligence to develop tracking and estimation tools around volume, quality, and price estimation. Digital Traceability: By enabling GPS tracking and digital weight slips, Scrapcart ensures automated documentation for every transaction. Secure Payments: Using secure and paperless transactions, backed by escrow payments and digital contracts, every deal has a reliable payments process. ESG & Regulatory Compliance: Digital audits and reporting tools to help enterprises meet sustainability goals and compliance benchmarks. About the Founders Vineet Relia, Founder A seasoned industry leader, Relia holds a in Computer Science from MIT, Manipal and has held CXO positions at top IT and real estate firms in the past. He also served as the managing partner at Inojo Interim Management.

NRIs' term insurance purchases from India double in last 2 years: Report analysis
Agencies Non-resident Indians (NRIs) are increasingly opting for term life insurance policies from India, with purchases doubling over the past two years, according to data from Policybazaar. The trend highlights the growing preference for India-linked term plans, which offer competitive premiums, long policy tenures, and rupee-denominated benefits that protect families and assets back home. Gulf region leads with nearly 60% share Between FY22 and FY26 year-to-date, the UAE and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries accounted for 59% of NRI term insurance policies purchased via Policybazaar. Most buyers are salaried professionals and business owners in construction, retail, and services. Gulf-based NRIs often have ongoing financial obligations in India, such as dependents, home loans, and investments, making India-based policies a cost-effective and practical choice. Strong growth in Europe and ANZ Europe and Australia - New Zealand (ANZ) markets have recorded a combined compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 87% over the past four years. The demand is largely driven by technology professionals and permanent residents who value long-tenure coverage and rupee-settled payouts. Policybazaar sees these regions as key markets for future expansion in NRI term insurance uptake. Younger buyers driving adoption Buyers under 40 now make up 62% of NRI policyholders. Many are securing 35-40 year plans, often locking in low premiums early in their careers. The 30-39 age group is the most active segment, showing an awareness of the benefits of early health underwriting and long-term financial planning. Preferred income and coverage segments Around 45% of NRI buyers report annual incomes between ₹25-35 lakh, balancing affordability with substantial coverage. Another 16% earn above ₹50 lakh annually, reflecting the growing appeal among higher-income groups. The ₹2-3 crore cover range is the most popular, offering adequate protection while keeping premiums reasonable, particularly among Gulf and ANZ professionals. Rising female participation Women now account for 15% of NRI term insurance buyers, with stronger uptake seen in the UAE and North America. This reflects increasing financial independence and proactive planning among female NRIs. Monthly premiums dominate, long-term policies favoured Nearly 80% of buyers prefer paying monthly premiums, though single-premium policies are gaining traction in the UAE, where some policyholders choose to pay upfront for 30–40 years of coverage. The average policy tenure now stands at 36.7 years, with most plans covering buyers until retirement or dependent independence milestones.'In just two years, NRI purchases of India-based term insurance have doubled, recording a 100% growth rate. This momentum has been led by Gulf-based NRIs, who now account for nearly 60% of all such policies bought via Policybazaar. A significant majority of these buyers are under 40, securing 35–40 year terms and opting for monthly premiums. This demand can be linked to the appeal of India-based term plan: lower premiums compared to global markets and the comfort of rupee-denominated payouts for dependents back home. It's a prudent way for globally mobile Indians to build financial security across geographies,' Policybazaar said in a statement.

UK-India FTA: Mysore silk, coffee, sandal soap may make their way to UK
BENGALURU: Mysore Sandal Soap, Mysore Silk and Chikkamagaluru coffee could soon make their way to the United Kingdom, with discussions underway between the UK and Karnataka Industries officials as part of the India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA), Chandru Iyer, British Deputy High Commissioner for Karnataka and Kerala and Deputy Trade Commissioner for South Asia (Investment), said on Tuesday. Iyer was speaking during a session on the FTA organised by the Bangalore Chamber of Industry and Commerce (BCIC). Harjinder Kang, Trade Commissioner for South Asia and British Deputy High Commissioner for Western India, was also present during the session. Iyer said the UK wants to be part of 'the new modern India story,' which even PM Modi reflected on during his recent Bengaluru visit, which is why several British companies have invested in the state. India has been the second-largest investor in the UK for six years, he said. He pointed to homegrown Karnataka brands that have expanded to the UK, such as MTR and Hatti Kaapi, which recently opened its first outlet in London. 'We know that the first consignment of jamun fruit from Karnataka has gone to the UK. From a horticulture perspective, there are a lot of opportunities,' Iyer added.
