Ever since Tara Sutaria has cut her hair short, she has been embracing corporate looks right, left, and center. It's either a three-piece office siren look or a bold CEO-core aesthetic– anything in between is out of fashion for Sutaria currently. The diva, yet again, served another swoon-worthy corporate fit, however, it was far from formal and leaned towards the sultry side. The Student of the Year 2 actress took to Instagram to post a carousel of sultry pictures and left her fans smitten. The fashionista wore a single-breasted blazer and exuded a smoldering charm. The boxy shoulder blazer featured large lapel collars and a relaxed silhouette for a bold and fierce appeal. The actress went shirtless and ditched pants as well, serving a hot and feminine flair. Further accentuating her sultry sway, the Ek Villain Returns actress flung on slingback heels. Sutaria knew just the vibe she was going for as the pointed heels added a steamy edge to her black and white portrait. Going for the trendy, gold-girly aesthetic, Tara wore statement-gilded tops. The chunky golden earrings minimally accessorized her fiery outfit and accentuated her feminine flair without being too dramatic. Tara Sutaria's bold makeup Tara's bold glam perfectly fit with her smoldering photoshoot. She boasted a contoured base for a snatched look, topped up with blush and highlighter. The actress further added shimmer on her eyelids, accentuating her eye makeup with winged eyeliner. Sutaria rounded up her glam with dark red lipstick, exuding killer vibes. She side-swept her short hair, aligning with her off-duty, CEO-core aesthetic. A few days earlier, the Apurva actress dished out a goddess-like charm in a backless, plunging neckline white dress. The diva looked absolutely ethereal in the full-length gown, making her fans skip their heartbeat with her mesmerizing appearance. While Tara's latest blazer-only look took our breaths away, we expect more office-siren flair from the stunning fashionista.

PE/VC Investments Face Slump in April, Strong Exits Expected in Second Half of 2025
Private equity and venture capital (PE/VC) investments in India declined by 20 per cent in April 2025 compared to March 2025 in value terms, according to an EY-IVCA monthly PE/VC roundup. Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Private equity and venture capital (PE/VC) investments in India declined by 20 per cent in April 2025 compared to March 2025 in value terms, according to an EY-IVCA monthly PE/VC roundup. Vivek Soni, Partner and National Leader, Private Equity Services, EY said that April 2025 recorded USD 4.7 billion in PE/VC investments, 6 per cent lower than investments in April 2024 and 20 per cent lower than in March 2025 with the number of deals in April 2025 being 4 per cent lower year-on-year. "The pure-play PE/VC investments in April 2025 (USD 2 billion) declined by 51 per cent compared to April 2024 (USD 3.9 billion). This was offset by increased investment in the real estate and infrastructure asset class, which saw a growth of 175 per cent year-on-year (US$2.7 billion in April 2025 versus USD 984 million in April 2024). Compared to March 2025, pure-play PE/VC investments declined by 54 per cent (USD 4.2 billion in March 2025), and real estate and infrastructure investments grew by 65 per cent (USD 1.6 billion in March 2025)," said Soni in the report. Soni added that in terms of the number of deals, pure-play investments declined by 6 per cent, whereas the real estate and infrastructure asset classes grew by 6 per cent year-on-year. Notably, in April 2025, deals in startup investments emerged as the highest at USD 1.8 billion, followed by credit investments at USD 1.1 billion. According to the report, the country's retail and consumer sector is undergoing significant transformation, presenting a compelling opportunity for private equity and venture capital investors. Growth is mainly driven by the ongoing digital revolution and technological advancements, with rising urbanization and disposable income. Ujwal Sutaria, Founder and General Partner at TDV Partners, said that it is encouraging to see the growth in startup investments despite the overall investment decline. This showcases that the "dry powder" that VCs had been sitting on for a while is actually getting deployed now. "I can see the same across TDV Partners' portfolio companies as well, where many companies are closing their next rounds. The exit scenario was grim due to macro uncertainty, which was reflected in turbulent public markets. As the tariff between countries gets finalised in the coming months," said Sutaria. "I expect the second half of the year to be stronger for exits. There are a dozen startups that are lined up for IPOs, which will give good liquidity to investors, instilling stronger confidence in the Indian startup ecosystem, bringing in more new capital than before," said Sutaria. The report said that PE/VC investments in April 2025 totalled USD 4.7 billion, 6 per cent lower than the US$4.9 billion recorded in April 2024. The number was also 20 per cent lower than the USD 5.9 billion recorded in March 2025. The number of deals in April 2025 declined by 4 per cent year-on-year, with 108 deals compared to 113 in April 2024, while remaining consistent with the deal count in March 2025 (108 deals).

Pune's PM10 pollution surges beyond safety limits despite seasonal variation: Report
An analysis of Pune's air quality by Respirer Living Sciences, a climate-tech startup based on four years of data from the AtlasAQ platform, shows that PM10 concentrations in the city have consistently breached the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) limit of 60 µg/m³—even during summer months when pollution is expected to ease. Particulate Matter (PM10) pollution refers to airborne particles with a diameter of 10 micrometers or less, which can penetrate deep into the respiratory system, leading to severe health issues, including respiratory diseases, cardiovascular problems, and premature mortality. The AtlasAQ platform was developed to enable validated long-term air quality trend analysis of Indian cities which have the Continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations (CAAQMS) network. According to the report released on Monday, Pune city has shown high seasonal variability, but no sustained improvement across any of the four years. Pune's citywide PM10 levels spiked from 70.9 µg/m³ in 2021 to 98.9 µg/m³ in 2022, and remained high at 95.9 µg/m³ in 2023, before slightly declining to 86.8 µg/m³ in 2024. 'While this drop may seem encouraging, none of these values meet the NAAQS benchmark, indicating that air quality remains unsafe throughout the year,' Ronak Sutaria, Founder and CEO of Respirer Living Sciences told The Indian Express. 'The narrative around Pune often assumes it's a clean city—but the data doesn't support that,' Sutaria said adding that even our so-called 'clean seasons' are not actually clean. 'PM10 pollution here is 'unpredictable, persistent, and well above safe limits,' he added. As per the analysis by Respirer Living Sciences, station-level data reveals extreme intra-year fluctuations. Karve Road showed a dramatic 177.6% rise from 50.0 µg/m³ in 2021 to 138.9 µg/m³ in 2022. Alandi also recorded a spike to 127.3 µg/m³ in 2023 before dropping to 89.0 µg/m³ in 2024. Locations like Transport Nagar, Bhosari, Mhada Colony, and Revenue Colony consistently reported annual averages above 80 µg/m³, while not a single station recorded levels below the national threshold. The report identifies rapid construction, road dust, vehicular congestion, and growing urban sprawl as key contributors to PM10. It recommends the enforcement of dust control protocols, greater investment in sustainable mobility, and real-time ward-level monitoring to enable more targeted action. When contacted, Pune Municipal Corporation's environment department officer Mangesh Dighe said he was not aware of the report. However, multiple strategies are being taken to spray droplets and settle dust particles to improve air quality levels. 'Recently the civic administration introduced the fog cannon machine mounted vehicle to deploy along busy roads to reduce road dust and air pollution,' he said. The fog cannon carrying 6,000 litres of water uses a high-pressure pump to spray water droplets and settle dust particles.

New report reveals major global shift in shopping habits: 'Robust growth'
A new report reveals the paper bag market is on the upswing, with increased consumer awareness about the troublesome effects of plastic waste among the factors. Future Market Insights estimates that the paper bag market will have a value of $10.3 billion by 2035 with a compound annual growth rate of 4.4% over the next decade. It identified five key trends driving this demand: retail expansion, brand customization, government regulations banning single-use plastics, food safety, and sustainability. While shopping with reusable bags and bringing your own silicone takeout containers to restaurants are perhaps some of the most impactful ways to reduce waste, the burgeoning paper bag market is nonetheless a step in the right direction for businesses. Paper bags are generally recyclable and biodegradable. On the other hand, plastic bags are derived from polluting dirty fuels, and their manufacturing process involves toxic chemicals, as the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme explains. They take up to 1,000 years to break down, contributing to the untimely deaths of hundreds of thousands of marine creatures that mistake them for food each year. According to FMI, the food and beverage sector leads paper bag growth, with a news release revealing the industry accounts for 46% of the market share. Brown kraft paper is the most popular material in the paper bag market, as it is more cost-effective than white kraft paper and requires fewer chemical treatments. Perhaps surprisingly, FMI didn't cite food safety as the primary factor accelerating the food and beverage industry's adoption of paper bags, even though microplastic pollution is linked to health complications, including cancer, dementia, and reproductive difficulties. In the release, it highlighted policies outlawing single-use plastic bags and businesses' desire to advertise their sustainability commitments as key drivers of the growth. It also listed "high demand for greaseproof and food-grade paper bags" as a factor, underscoring how public health can benefit from eco-friendly policymaking as businesses pivot to meet consumer demand for sustainability. When you think about a product's packaging, which of these factors is more important to you? The way it looks The information it provides The waste it produces I don't think about packaging at all Click your choice to see results and speak your mind. Regardless of which factor weighs more in the accelerated push, transitioning away from plastics is still a win on multiple levels. Ismail Sutaria, lead consultant in packaging at FMI, suggested that the paper bag market's "robust growth" could change the packaging game. "To ensure long-term success, manufacturers need to focus on improving the durability and water resistance of paper bags while addressing cost concerns through sustainable production innovations," Sutaria said.
