India Offers Wide Investment Avenues For Israeli Businesses: Goyal

Tel Aviv, Nov 20 (PTI) India offers huge investment opportunities for Israeli businesses and the industries of both sides can enhance cooperation in areas like infrastructure development, manufacturing and artificial intelligence, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said on Thursday. He said the other areas of collaboration between the two countries include fintech, agri tech, machine learning, quantum computing, pharmaceuticals, space and defence. "There are unlimited possibilities and potential between the two countries," he said here while addressing the India-Israel Business Summit along with Nir Barkat, Minister of Economy of Israel. This is for the first time an Indian commerce minister is visiting Israel. Goyal is leading a 60-member business delegation to Israel. He will meet leaders and businesses to discuss ways to boost bilateral trade and investments. The minister said there are 10 'Ds' that make India an attractive investment destination. These include democracy, demographic dividend, digitalisation, fast pace development and decisive leadership. "India offers investor-friendly and predictable atmosphere to do business. It offers huge opportunities for businesses of both sides," Goyal added. Speaking at the event, Barkat said India is a great "bet for us". "India is a next big thing....Indian infrastructure companies can come here and bid," he said. Barkat added that India-Middle East Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) also provides an opportunity for increasing collaboration. Billed as a path-breaking initiative, IMEC envisages a vast road, railroad and shipping networks among Saudi Arabia, India, the US, and Europe to ensure integration among Asia, the Middle East, and West. The IMEC initiative was firmed up on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Delhi in September 2023. "IMEC is an amazing idea," he said. During 2024-25, India's exports to Israel dipped 52 per cent to USD 2.14 billion from USD 4.52 billion in 2023-24. Imports, too, fell 26.2 per cent to USD 1.48 billion. During April 2000 and June 2025, India received USD 337.77 million foreign direct investment (FDI) from Israel.  (This report has been published as part of the auto-generated syndicate wire feed.

Top Five Biggest Trades In IPL History Ft. Sanju Samson

Indian Premier League has seen several dramatic and high-value trades over the years, reshaping franchises and redefining team strategies. With growing competition and increased emphasis on balance, teams have been willing to spend big or swap their most valuable players to strengthen their squads. Based on confirmed trade amounts, here are the biggest and most influential trades in IPL history. Sanju Samson: ₹18 Crore (RR to CSK) Sanju Samson’s move to Chennai Super Kings ahead of IPL 2026 stands as the costliest trade ever recorded. Valued at ₹18 crore, the star wicketkeeper-batter shifted from Rajasthan Royals in a blockbuster swap deal. As part of the exchange, CSK sent Ravindra Jadeja (₹14 crore) and Sam Curran (₹2.4 crore) to RR. This trade not only ended Samson’s eleven-season association with the Royals but also signaled CSK’s long-term vision - viewing him as both a superstar acquisition and a potential successor to MS Dhoni in leadership and wicketkeeping roles. Cameron Green: ₹17.5 Crore (MI to RCB) Ahead of the 2024 season, Australian all-rounder Cameron Green was traded from Mumbai Indians to Royal Challengers Bengaluru for ₹17.5 crore. Green's explosive batting, pace-bowling ability, and potential made him one of the hottest commodities on the trade market. MI’s decision to release him reflected their strategic squad restructuring, while RCB saw him as a game-changing addition to their top order and all-round strength. Hardik Pandya: ₹15 Crore (GT to MI) In one of the most dramatic moves in IPL history, Hardik Pandya returned to Mumbai Indians after leading Gujarat Titans for two seasons. The ₹15 crore deal marked a high-value reunion, sparking intense debate among fans. Pandya’s leadership experience and match-winning abilities made him a marquee signing for MI’s next phase of team building. Shardul Thakur: ₹10.75 Crore (DC to KKR) In 2022, all-rounder Shardul Thakur moved from Delhi Capitals to Kolkata Knight Riders for ₹10.75 crore. Known for his knack for picking breakthroughs and contributing handy runs, Shardul was among the top-priced Indian trades of the early mega-auction era. Mohammed Shami: ₹10 Crore (SRH to LSG) Ahead of the 2025 season, Mohammed Shami was traded to Lucknow Super Giants for ₹10 crore. As one of India’s finest seamers, his addition instantly strengthened LSG’s pace attack. The deal also remains one of the highest-value trades for a specialist fast bowler.

8 Genius Beauty Hacks Using Ingredients Already In Your Kitchen

You don’t need expensive serums, complicated routines, or fancy spa treatments to look radiant. Sometimes the most powerful beauty solutions are sitting quietly in your kitchen. These ingredients are the ones that your grandmother trusted long before modern skincare took over. From brightening pigmentation and calming acne to softening hair and exfoliating skin, these everyday items can help you achieve glowing, healthy skin without spending a fortune. Let’s explore eight of the most powerful beauty tricks using ingredients you already have at home. ALSO READ: 10 Kitchen Spices That Reduce Inflammation Naturally 1. Honey For Instant Glow And Hydration (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Honey is one of the most powerful natural moisturisers. It works for almost every skin type. Its humectant properties lock moisture into the skin, making it feel plump, soft, and deeply nourished. If your skin looks dull or tired, applying a thin layer of honey for just 10–15 minutes can bring back a natural glow. Honey is also packed with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it excellent for acne-prone skin. It calms active breakouts, reduces redness, and promotes faster healing without causing dryness. 2. Turmeric For Brightening And Tan Removal (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Turmeric has been a gold-standard skincare ingredient for centuries. Its active compound, curcumin, is a natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant powerhouse that helps reduce pigmentation, brighten dull skin, and even out uneven tone. If you struggle with tanning or dark spots, a small pinch of turmeric mixed with milk, curd, or honey can work wonders. This golden spice also helps calm acne flare-ups by reducing bacteria and soothing irritation. Using too much turmeric can stain your skin, so keep the quantity tiny. 3. Aloe Vera Gel For Healing And Hydration (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Aloe vera is nature’s soothing gel. It's perfect for irritated, sensitive, or sunburned skin. It instantly cools, hydrates, and calms inflammation. When applied regularly, aloe vera helps fade acne scars, control oil, and moisturise without making the skin feel sticky. Its antibacterial and wound-healing properties make it great for cuts, rashes, or red patches. You can even use it as a natural primer before makeup. This simple ingredient delivers multiple benefits and deserves a permanent spot in your beauty routine. 4. Coconut Oil For Silky Hair And Soft Skin (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Coconut oil is one of the most versatile beauty ingredients you’ll ever find in your kitchen. As a hair treatment, it reduces frizz, strengthens roots, and nourishes dry ends. Massaging warm coconut oil into the scalp improves blood circulation and promotes stronger hair. For skin, coconut oil acts as a deep moisturiser that softens elbows, knees, and dry patches. It also works as a gentle makeup remover that breaks down waterproof formulas without irritation. While it may not suit oily or acne-prone skin on the face, it’s incredible for body care and hair repair. 5. Oats For Gentle Exfoliation (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) If your skin gets red easily or reacts to most products, oats are your secret weapon. Oatmeal is incredibly gentle and works as a natural exfoliant that removes dead skin without scratching or irritating. When soaked and ground, it forms a creamy paste that soothes inflammation, moisturises dry patches, and calms sensitive skin conditions. You can also mix oats with milk or rose water for a nourishing face mask. It leaves your skin feeling baby-soft, brighter, and restored. 6. Green Tea For Anti-Ageing And Detoxifying Skin (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Green tea is packed with antioxidants that reduce fine lines, puffiness, and early signs of ageing. When used on the skin, it helps tighten pores, brighten the complexion, and protect against environmental damage. Applying cooled green tea bags on your eyes reduces dark circles and puffiness almost instantly. You can also use brewed green tea as a face mist or mix it with aloe vera for a refreshing mask. The antioxidants help flush out toxins, making your skin look clean, rejuvenated, and youthful. 7. Rosewater For Cooling And Instant Freshness (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Rose water is one of the most refreshing beauty ingredients you can use daily. It works as a natural toner that tightens pores, balances pH, and hydrates the skin without any chemicals. A few spritzes instantly refreshes the face. Rose water also reduces redness, soothes irritation, and sets makeup beautifully. You can mix it with face masks for extra hydration or apply it after cleansing for a dewy, glowing finish. 8. Coffee Grounds For Bright And Smooth Skin (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Coffee is one of the most underrated beauty ingredients hiding in your kitchen. Used coffee grounds are rich in antioxidants and caffeine, both of which help tighten the skin, reduce puffiness, and boost circulation. When used as a scrub, coffee gently exfoliates dead skin cells, leaving the skin brighter, smoother, and more radiant almost instantly. Its grainy texture removes buildup without being too harsh, making it perfect for body polishing. Mix coffee grounds with a little coconut oil or honey to create a nourishing, glow-enhancing DIY scrub at home.

Trump Claims PM Modi Said 'We Are Not Going To War' On Call With Him After 350% Tariff Warning

At the US-Saudi Investment Forum, former US President Donald Trump claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally called him to confirm that India would not go to war against Pakistan after Trump threatened both nations with a 350% tariff. Since the ceasefire between India and Pakistan on May 10, Trump has repeatedly asserted, over 60 times, that he brokered the truce and warned the countries of “massive tariffs” if they did not comply. India, however, has consistently maintained that the ceasefire was negotiated directly with Pakistan. Trump Details His Threat of Tariffs Speaking to the forum, attended by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Trump described the events in the final hours before the ceasefire. He said he informed both countries they could continue the conflict, but he would impose a 350% tariff. Trump claimed both India and Pakistan requested him not to implement the levy. He said, “I am going to do it. Come back to me and I will take it down. But I am not going to have you guys shooting nuclear weapons at each other, killing millions of people and having the nuclear dust floating over Los Angeles.” The former President added that he was “all set” to implement the 350% tariff and had alerted Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Calls from Pakistan and India Trump stated he first received a call from Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who thanked him for allegedly saving millions of lives. He then claimed that PM Modi called him, saying: “We are done. I said, 'you are done with what?' Modi replied, 'we are not going to go to war.'” Trump added that he thanked Modi, whom he had previously described as the “nicest looking guy” and a “killer,” before concluding: “Let's make a deal.” India Denies Any Direct Call India has repeatedly rejected Trump’s claims. Speaking in Parliament earlier this year, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar clarified that no telephone call took place between PM Modi and Trump during the May hostilities. Jaishankar noted that only US Vice-President JD Vance contacted PM Modi to warn of a “massive Pakistani attack.” He added: “There was no linkage of trade in any of these conversations, and there was no talk between the Prime Minister and President Trump.” Operation Sindoor The tensions in May arose after India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting nine terror camps inside Pakistan in response to the Pahalgam attack that left 26 people dead. Trump has now repeated his narrative during multiple public appearances, including a bilateral meeting with the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office on Tuesday.

How Advanced Prosthetics Are Changing Lives In India? Know Here

(Inputs By Kavinder Beniwal) A new era of human augmentation is upon us, transitioning from science fiction to everyday reality. Advanced bionic and myoelectric prosthetics help people who have lost limbs are regaining movement and precision that old-style prostheses couldn't offer. These smart devices work by controlling movement using the body's muscle impulses. For professionals in India's cities, this technology is a game-changer.  Contrary to the traditional cosmetic prosthetics hinging majorly on appearance, the bionic and myoelectric arms offer functionality, control, and independence for the users. They are advanced enough to flawlessly perform the detection of electrical signals in the upper arm and transform them into natural, intuitive movements. This in turn, gives users the flexibility to type, pick up objects, and carry on with day-to-day activities without any hindrance. The Challenge Of Rural India: Old Beliefs And Lack Of Resources Despite the odds, a major hurdle remains in rural India, stemming from deep-rooted cultural and economic divides. In these overlooked areas, individuals often face three main hurdles that block their path to even the most basic and transformative prosthetics. Numerous cultural beliefs interpret the loss of a limb as a consequence of past karma or sins. This makes people hesitant to accept new technology because they worry it could change their future or their next life. Many families in India often hesitate to discuss their issues, which prevents them from receiving the necessary support. This is particularly true for women. The family of a girl may attempt to conceal the problem out of fear that it could jeopardize her chances of finding a husband. Financial challenges, such as the high costs of treatment, lack of awareness about new solutions, and the distance to specialized clinics, exacerbate this cultural hurdle. This scenario highlights a significant contrast. While India's cutting-edge technology is just a few hundred kilometers away, its traditional customs create barriers that hinder those living in rural poverty from engaging in the bionic revolution. 3D Printing Will Be The Norm One of the most promising solutions is 3D printing. This technology is making prosthetics faster to produce, more affordable, and easier to customize. Instead of waiting weeks or months, a lightweight, well-fitting prosthetic limb can now be created in just a few days. This is especially important in India, where long supply chains and high material costs often slow down the process. With 3D printing, prosthetic care becomes more accessible and scalable.Government programs also play a vital role. When combined with rapid production methods like 3D printing, these efforts could dramatically reduce both cost and discrimination. Kavinder Beniwal is Chief Operational Officer of Motorica India

IPL 2026 Auction: Three High-Profile Released Players Teams Could Target

With Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 auction a few weeks away, franchises have the option to sign players during the trade window before main event. Teams can approach released players if both parties agree on terms, which could involve substantial amounts. Here's a look at three high-profile released players who could join teams ahead of IPL 2026 mini auction in December. Andre Russell Following his release by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Andre Russell, one of the best all-rounders in T20Is at present, emerges as the biggest name available. If KKR doesn't offer him a buyback, he can negotiate with other franchises. Chennai Super Kings seems a likely destination, as the five-time champions would welcome his experience and explosive abilities. Russell has been a key performer for KKR, but a fresh challenge could be on the cards. Recently, a video featuring Russell in a yellow jersey went viral on social media and it led to speculations that his next destination in IPL might be Chennai.  Venkatesh Iyer Venkatesh Iyer, despite a promising IPL 2025 season, was released by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) after his performances didn’t match his hefty price tag. Teams like Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals could consider him for their middle-order options. If no pre-auction deal materializes, KKR might attempt to bring him back at a reduced price, far below the Rs 23.75 crore they initially invested. Wanindu Hasaranga Sri Lankan all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga had a disappointing stint with Rajasthan Royals, leading to his release. Still regarded as a top-tier bowler, he could be snapped up by franchises like KKR, CSK, or Lucknow Super Giants ahead of the auction. Hasaranga's ability to impact games with both bat and ball makes him a valuable prospect for any side.
