Piyush Goyal rolls out red carpet for Swiss firms to invest in India
Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has invited Swiss companies to expand their footprint in India and take advantage of the country's dynamic and rapidly growing market. The minister held a meeting in Bern with the leadership from several premier Swiss companies across diverse sectors and urged them to see India as a strategic hub for manufacturing, talent, and innovation. The discussions focussed on enhancing synergies between Indian and Swiss enterprises, with a special emphasis on innovation, technology transfer, and sustainable manufacturing, according to an official statement issued on Tuesday. Goyal assured the business leaders of India's unwavering commitment to fostering a conducive business environment through transparent regulatory processes, a robust Intellectual Property regime, and pro-investment policy frameworks. Following these strategic discussions, the Minister chaired two focussed roundtables with sectoral leaders from the Swiss industry —covering biotech and pharma, healthcare, and precision engineering, Defence, and Emerging Technologies. These sessions, hosted with the support of the Indian Embassy in Switzerland, highlighted India's scale, affordability, and rising innovation ecosystem. The Minister called on Swiss businesses to leverage the dedicated EFTA Desk at Invest India for handholding and facilitation support. He reiterated India's willingness to work towards regulatory harmonisation and mutual recognition agreements, highlighting India's proactive stance on building reciprocal bridges to encourage Swiss and Indian investments. In addition to industry interactions, the Minister also met with members of the Switzerland Chapter of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). He lauded the chapter for their contributions and for upholding the high standards and global reputation of the ICAI, while strengthening the India–Switzerland professional and business ecosystem. Swiss industry leaders across a diverse range of sectors — including biotechnology, precision manufacturing, healthcare, automation, Defence, cybersecurity, and advanced materials — expressed strong confidence in India's trajectory as a global economic powerhouse and an innovation-led growth destination, the statement said. Companies commended India's unique strengths: A vast and dynamic market, growing middle class, world-class engineering and scientific talent, and a policy environment that actively promotes ease of doing business, IP protection, and technology partnerships. For many, India is not only a promising market but also an ideal base for manufacturing, R&D, and co-creation of globally competitive solutions. Several firms indicated active interest in forming joint ventures, scaling operations, and localising production to serve both Indian and international markets. From cutting-edge cancer therapies and cell sciences to industrial automation, fibre optics, space technologies, and digital security, Swiss companies underscored their alignment with India's developmental priorities and sectoral growth plans. The sentiment was one of strategic alignment and long-term commitment. Many participants described India as a natural partner and conveyed readiness to invest in its next phase of growth, not only to tap into domestic demand but to position India as a hub in their global value chains, the statement added.

IOSR brings out technical glossary for engineering education in Odia
BHUBANESWAR: The Bhubaneswar-based Institute of Odia Studies & Research (IOSR) has prepared a glossary of 54,000 technical words in Odia which will be used in engineering education in the language. The first-of-its-kind glossary in a regional Indian language has been approved by the AICTE recently. Director of AICTE Sunil Kumar Luthra said the glossary would serve as a model for other states and would soon be uploaded to the e-Kumbh portal of AICTE from where students can download it. Odia researcher and chief coordinator of the translation initiative Subrat Prusty said most of the technical words used in engineering are of English, German, French and Latin origin and finding their regional translation is a difficult process. 'For example, the Hindi translation of computer is 'sanganak' and a few Odia students have started using it even if it is not an Odia word. This is why we have created a glossary of technical words which remain the same in both English and Odia languages, for easy understanding of the students. So, a computer will be written as computer in the Odia engineering book. In the absence of such a glossary, students usually use whatever translated words they pick up from search engines, which is wrong,' he said.

IIHM Receives National Honour for 'Excellence in Global Hospitality Education' from Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan
PRNewswire New Delhi [India], June 10: The International Institute of Hotel Management (IIHM) has added another remarkable milestone to its legacy. At the ABP Smart Education Summit 2025 held in New Delhi, IIHM was presented with the 'Excellence in Global Hospitality Education' award by Union Education Minister Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, recognising the institute's pioneering contribution to global-standard hospitality education and transformative technological integration. During the ceremony, Minister Pradhan lauded IIHM for redefining hospitality education in India by "building global pathways from Indian classrooms," and credited the institution with contributing to India's growing soft power in service leadership and innovation. The award was received by senior executives of IIHM New Delhi on behalf of Dr Suborno Bose, Chairman of IIHM, entrepreneur, visionary educationist, and globally recognised AI evangelist in the hospitality domain. Reacting to the conferring of this award Dr Bose said, "This recognition is a testament to IIHM's vision of inclusive, future-forward education that fuses tradition with technological intelligence. It strengthens our resolve to position India as the global epicentre of hospitality learning." AI + Hospitality: A Revolution Led by India Dr Bose has been at the forefront of driving the global conversation on Artificial Intelligence in hospitality and tourism. In 2024, his groundbreaking book, 'Harmonizing Human Touch and AI in Tourism & Hospitality,' was launched by Union Minister for Tourism, Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, at the Bharat 24 Summit in Goa. Minister Shekhawat saw the book as a visionary roadmap that places India on the frontlines of intelligent hospitality and credited it for "offering a model for the ethical and strategic integration of AI in a people-first industry." The book has since become a reference point for both academic institutions and hospitality enterprises exploring AI in operations, personalisation, guest experience, and workforce transformation. Global Hospitality Joins Hands: 60 Countries Sign the Knowledge Sharing Declaration In an unprecedented global initiative, IIHM led the creation and signing of the Global Knowledge Sharing Declaration on AI in Hospitality Education, bringing together educational institutions, thought leaders, and policymakers from over 60 countries. This declaration envisions a collaborative global framework to share curricula, research, practices, and AI innovations that can uplift hospitality education equitably across developed and developing economies. It promotes chain-agnostic, brand-neutral learning with a focus on inclusivity, accessibility, and AI literacy for students and professionals alike. The initiative underscores IIHM's status as a convening power in global hospitality education, capable of bridging continents through technology, pedagogy, and purpose. NamAIste - The World's First Hospitality GPT is Made in India In February 2025, Dr Bose and IIHM made headlines globally with the launch of NamAIste - IIHM Hospitality GPT, the world's first generative AI-powered knowledge engine for the hospitality industry. Unveiled at the IIHM Young Chef Olympiad in Goa before delegates from 50+ countries, the platform was developed in collaboration with Entiovi Technologies, a leading deep-tech solutions provider. NamAIste is India's first domain-specific Large Language Model (LLM) designed exclusively for hospitality operations, learning, research, and innovation. Dr Bose has called NamAIste "India's gift to the global hospitality world - made in India, made for the world." This latest national recognition by the Union Education Ministry further strengthens IIHM's mission to shape the next generation of global hospitality leaders through transformative education, global collaboration, and ethical AI innovation.
