KOFFi Launches India's First Business Fund Parking Platform - Helping Businesses Earn 7-8% on Daily Balances
India PR Distribution New Delhi [India], August 12: Many businesses in India know the frustration- cash sits idle in the bank between payrolls, tax payment or vendor bills. That's short-term funds just waiting for something better. KOFFi- a Pune based fintech startup, founded in 2023, aimed precisely at this challenge. When Prajwal Manalwar returned to India after two decades of fintech experience in Silicon Valley, he noticed a surprising gap. While large corporations smartly manage their short-term funds, most Indian SMBs leave this cash idle in current accounts, earning almost nothing. Prajwal saw an opportunity to bring institutional-grade fund parking solutions to Indian businesses in a simple and accessible way. KOFFi, a SEBI-registered platform, enables businesses to park their idle funds directly with partner Tata AMC through a secure BSE network. The platform offers curated, highly safe fixed-income mutual funds that primarily invest in short-term government and high-quality corporate securities. Even when parked for just a few days, businesses can earn 7-8% p.a., with next-business-day (T+1) liquidity ensuring quick access to their funds whenever needed. (Check their Returns Calculator) "Your business funds should work for you; not for your bank. That is exactly why I created KOFFi," emphasizes Prajwal Manalwar, Founder & CEO. Decade-long product leadership at PayPal helped Prajwal build a platform closely aligned with business fund parking needs. KOFFi's AI-driven fund recommendations, continuous fund monitoring, and smart fund-swapping features to optimize returns based on market conditions. Its goal-based fund parking enables businesses to align savings for upcoming business objectives. Withdrawals can be scheduled in advance to match payroll or vendor payment dates, and multiple team members can access the platform, making it easy for finance teams to collaborate and manage funds seamlessly. "There's over ₹25 lakh crore parked in current accounts or low-yielding FDs. I'm a bit surprised to see that businesses in India are still stuck with traditional banking options. This is the space where KOFFi sees enormous potential to create impact." Prajwal adds. KOFFi already serves several well-known businesses across India. And one Pune-based IT company parks ₹50 lakh of payroll funds for three weeks each month, earning around ₹6 lakh a year effortlessly. In the months ahead, KOFFi is looking to deepen its integrations with banking and payroll platforms, making fund disbursements and withdrawals even smoother. The company is also building advanced analytics to help CFOs better predict idle cash flows and maximise returns with greater accuracy.

Sirca Paints Hosts Exclusive Architects' Gathering in Bhopal, Fostering Relationships Through Design and Dialogue
India PR Distribution Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) [India], August 12: In a continued effort to nurture meaningful conversations within the architecture and design fraternity, Sirca Paints India Ltd. recently hosted an exclusive Architects' Meet on 2nd August 2025. The curated gathering served as a dynamic platform for exchanging ideas around craftsmanship, the evolving language of design, and the innovative use of materials in contemporary practice. The event brought together some of Bhopal's most respected and forward-thinking minds in architecture and interior design. Key attendees from the Sirca team included Joint Managing Director Mr. Apoorv Agarwal and Associate Director Mr. Chirag Goel. Notable guests from the design community included Ar. Ashish Bhattacharya (Designing Cell), Ar. Akshay Selukar (H & A Consultants), Ar. S.M. Hussain (Shelter), Ar. Ritesh Hirwani (Design Unit), Ar. Ayush Jain (Asthetix Interiors), along with leading interior designers such as ID. Piyush Tilwani (Kalavihaan), ID. Priyanka Mishra (Eclectic Design), ID. Kunal Janyani (KJ Design), ID. Juhi Kalyani (Ashiyana Interior Studio), ID. Simmi Juneja (SJN Designs), and ID. Kennii Oberoi (Kennii Oberoi & Associates). Known for its premium Italian wood coatings and sophisticated ornamental finishes, Sirca has consistently stood for precision, durability, and aesthetic excellence. The Bhopal meet much like its recent edition in Gwalior reflected the brand's ethos of becoming more than just a product supplier. It positioned Sirca as a collaborator in the creative process, a partner that understands and responds to the real-time challenges and aspirations of the design community. Set against the refined backdrop of The Taj Hotel, the evening unfolded as an immersive networking experience marked by authentic conversations, shared ideas, and a deep appreciation for craft. Far from a conventional product showcase, it was a celebration of meaningful relationships: a space where Sirca's signature wood coatings and OIKOS wall textures connected directly with the creative minds shaping the built environment. Designed to foster purposeful connections, the gathering brought together a carefully selected group of architects and interior designers from Bhopal and nearby regions. Instead of showcasing a lineup of finishes, the focus was on opening a dialogue rooted in curiosity, collaboration, and a shared passion for design excellence. Attendees interacted with real-time samples, feeling the textures, examining the finishes, and immersing themselves in the nuances of craftsmanship that Sirca is known for. The showcase of OIKOS wall textures and Sirca's wood finishes served as a catalyst for deeper conversations on how these materials could contribute to more expressive, enduring design outcomes. The event not only highlighted Sirca's evolving portfolio of finishes but also underscored its role as more than a materials provider as a creative ally and an engaged participant in the broader design conversation. For Sirca, the evening was less about showcasing products and more about listening about understanding how the language of space is shifting, and how materiality can support that evolution. As the evening drew to a close, what remained wasn't just the impression of rich textures and polished surfaces, but the resonance of meaningful exchange, the spark of new ideas, the beginning of shared aspirations. With gatherings like these, Sirca continues to invest in the relationships and insights that will shape its journey forward.
