At first, it was the parents who noticed.'We've never seen a model autism framework like this. We need this everywhere.'And then — something shifted.In a Times of India National Spotlight (2020) full-page feature titled 'Spreading Smiles Like a Dash of Sunshine', Pinnacle was honoured as South India's Best Autism Therapy Network.But the real headline wasn't the award; it was the editorial remark that followed:'This isn't a centre. This is a movement — led by science, soul, and systems.'Dr. Sreeja Reddy Saripalli received the Praxis Media Women Leadership Award (2021), symbolising the spirit of the campaign, rooted in a social movement: a national therapy model built by mothers, run by women, and scaled by systems.YourStory Entrepreneur Spotlight (2023) profiled Pinnacle not as a startup but as a public health framework: AI-enabled, mother-powered, scalable without sacrificing humanity.These institutional recognitions validated something never seen before in global child development:Stanford, Heidelberg, Singapore Institute of Mental Health have already reached out requesting academic collaborations, while Ministries from Nepal, the UAE, Kenya, and Bangladesh have inquired about AbilityScore® licensing. That's not all. UNICEF has invited Pinnacle to present the Pinnacle Global Autism Framework. Meanwhile, WHO-SEARO has referenced TherapeuticAI® in its emerging frameworks for tech-integrated early intervention.Pinnacle's name has also begun appearing in UN development drafts on global childhood health, AI policy whitepapers such as, and mother-led economic innovation summits as a blueprint for health systems built from the ground up. All these instances further indicate the rise of Pinnacle as a growing reference architecture.Recognition didn't make Pinnacle real.But it made the world pause and realise what India had done.Pinnacle's new child development playbook for the planet:The world is ready to learn from it.If autism therapy were only about diagnosis, then software could solve it.If it were only about compassion, then goodwill would be enough.But therapy, real therapy, is a mix of diagnosis and compassion.It is precision with empathy. Structure with soul. Intelligence that listens.And that is whyworks, as it wasn't built from policy whitepapers or VC slides; rather, from India's reality. Hence, it is designed to last.The world doesn't speak one language.Pinnacle functions in 133+ regional, national, and international languages, with therapy protocols tailored to:From Hyderabad to Hosur, Miryalaguda to Mumbai, Chennai to Karimnagar, children are not asked to 'adjust'; instead, the Pinnacle therapy system adjusts to them.Because a word in English isn't the same as a glance in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil,... And therapy doesn't work if the child doesn't feel understood.Most models collapse outside metros.Pinnacle grows stronger in India's second and third-tier cities.Why?Because it is:This isn't a Western model adapted to India. It's an Indian model; built for India and ready for the world.In most systems, inclusion is an initiative.In Pinnacle, inclusion is the infrastructure.Could it work in:Because this system doesn't depend on bandwidth or budget.It depends onBecause it is not a compromise.It is not a copy.It is aDesigned in India.Led by mothers.Built for every child the world forgot to include.For decades, the Global South was cast as the recipient of solutions.Ideas flowed downward — from labs in the West to clinics in the East.Packaged. Priced. Poorly translated. Often impractical.But Pinnacle in India didn't wait for an imported blueprint.It built one.And now, the world isn't responding with charity.It's responding with respect.In Kenya, only 3 government-certified child therapists serve 6 million children.In Indonesia, autism remains cloaked in stigma, whispered but rarely addressed.In rural Peru, speech delay is often diagnosed four years too late — if at all.These regions and the whole world don't need imported solutions.They need a replicable framework.And that's what Pinnacle offers.This isn't just 'Made in India.'But Built for the World of 90+ crore children and families🛤️Pinnacle isNot to aTo aNot to a transaction.To aA Multilingual, mother-driven, AI-powered ecosystem —To Ministries of Health.To Heads of State.To UNICEF and WHO.To diaspora educators.To mother networks in Nairobi and Manila.To health secretariats in São Paulo and Abu Dhabi.Every child, regardless of race, religion region, deserves more than a diagnosis.They deserve a map to navigate.Here is Pinnacle's open pledge of partnership:

Cardiac arrest deaths tripled in last two years in Karnataka, shows data
BENGALURU: Deaths linked to cardiac arrests recorded under Karnataka's Dr Puneeth Rajkumar Hrudaya Jyoti Yojana have almost tripled, surging from 229 in 2023–24 to 608 in 2024–25, according to the state health department data. The number of critical ECG screenings also nearly tripled in the same period — from 2,489 to 6,767. Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao shared the figures as an answer during the ongoing monsoon Legislative Council session. The department does not have a total number of heart attacks reported in the state or related deaths outside Dr Puneeth Rajkumar scheme, because heart attacks, so far, were not considered as a 'notifiable' disease. It was only this year during July that the Health Minister announced that cardiac attack related deaths outside hospitals will be declared as 'notifiable'. The minister had announced this after a surge was reported in heart attack cases in the state and a committee was formed to look into sudden cardiovascular events among individuals under 45 years of age. However, a government order regarding the same is not yet issued. Health department officials said that over 75% of the heart attack cases reported involved individuals with more than one cardiac risk factor and that the most contributing factors include obesity, heavy alcohol intake, smoking and high blood pressure. To reduce the risk of sudden heart-related deaths, health department officials said that they are considering expanding CPR training for specific groups such as physical trainers in gyms apart from school and college students and teachers. Additionally, efforts are on to ensure that gyms, malls, and other crowded places are equipped with Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) to ensure immediate response during cardiac arrests. What is the scheme? The state government launched the Dr Puneeth Rajkumar Hrudaya Jyoti Yojana in October 2023 to provide emergency cardiac care to patients suffering from heart attacks or sudden cardiac issues within the golden hour. The model uses a 'hub-and-spoke' approach - Hubs are established at 16 super-specialty hospitals like Jayadeva Hospital in Bengaluru, Mysuru, and Kalaburagi. These hubs are connected to 85 spoke centers, encompassing district and taluk hospitals where patients first present. After initial treatment at a spoke, patients requiring advanced care are referred to a hub for specialized interventions. The scheme delivers tenecteplase injections - a clot-busting medication that costs up to Rs 45,000, at free of cost.

5 face packs to help close those stubborn open pores
This article explores simple, budget-friendly homemade face packs using ingredients readily available in Indian kitchens to minimize the appearance of open pores. It highlights five easy-to-make packs, including Multani mitti with rose water, tomato with lemon juice, and besan with turmeric and curd, emphasizing their natural benefits for achieving fresher, firmer, and glowing skin with consistent use. O pen pores are something almost all of us deal with. They usually show up around the nose, cheeks, and forehead, and once we notice them, they somehow become all we see in the mirror. Add in our Indian weather, dust, pollution, and busy lifestyles, and those pores can look even more obvious. While we can't erase pores completely since they are a natural part of healthy skin, the good news is that we can definitely make them appear tighter and smaller with some simple care. And we don't always need expensive serums or salon facials. Our kitchens have been stocked with remedies for generations. Here are 5 easy face packs that we can turn to whenever open pores need a little taming. Multani mitti and rose water pack This is one of those classic remedies most of us have grown up hearing about. Multani mitti has a natural cooling effect and absorbs oil beautifully, while rose water tones the skin. How to use it: Mix 2 tablespoons multani mitti with enough rose water to form a paste. Apply, leave for 15 minutes, and wash with cold water. Result: Fresher, cleaner skin with pores that feel instantly tighter. Tomato and lemon juice pack Tomato is a natural astringent, and lemon is packed with Vitamin C. Together, they're a powerhouse for dull, oily skin. How to use it: Blend one ripe tomato into pulp, add 1 teaspoon lemon juice, apply, and keep for 10–12 minutes before rinsing. Result: Pores look more refined and skin feels brighter. Just follow up with moisturiser to avoid dryness. Besan, turmeric and curd pack This ubtan-style mix has been part of Indian beauty traditions forever. It's simple, nourishing, and effective. How to use it: Mix 2 tablespoons besan, a pinch of turmeric, and 2 tablespoons curd. Apply evenly, leave for 15–20 minutes, and rinse. Result: Skin feels firmer, smoother, and softly exfoliated. Green tea ice cubes This quick trick is a saviour on hot days when skin feels oily and pores look larger than usual. Do It Yourself: How to make face masks at home How to use it: Brew green tea, pour into an ice tray, freeze, and gently rub a cube over the face. Result: Instant cooling, tighter pores, and refreshed skin. Aloe vera and cucumber pack Both aloe and cucumber are known for their soothing qualities, and together they hydrate and firm the skin without any heaviness. How to use it: Mix 2 tablespoons aloe vera gel with 2 tablespoons cucumber juice. Apply a thick layer, leave for 20 minutes, then rinse with cold water. Result: Skin feels calm, plump, and fresh, with pores looking less visible. Things to remember Always cleanse before applying any pack. Twice or thrice a week is plenty. Use a light moisturiser afterwards. Gentle care works better than harsh scrubbing. With regular use, results gradually show up. Open pores are part of our skin's natural structure, but with a little care, we can manage them beautifully. These homemade face packs are simple, budget-friendly, and have been trusted in Indian households for years. Sometimes, the most effective skincare isn't about what's in a bottle. It's about what's already in our kitchens. With consistency, we can all enjoy skin that feels fresher, firmer, and naturally glowing.
