New strategies of Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited to divert the issue of forgery and fabrication of documents.

It is also interesting to note that forged and fabricated documents including one affidavit and a power of attorney both dated 24.08.2007 was filed by Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited before DRT as a Copy of the document. No original documents were filed by Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited. This is a tactic of the Kotak Mahindra Bank only for the delay and diverts the matter.

WOW Skin Science Launches Disruptive Aqua Range: a Hydration Revolution in Grenade Form
National; June 27, 2025: WOW Skin Science, one of India’s most trusted and trailblazing wellness
brands, has announced the launch of its game-changing Aqua Range, a bold hydration-first skincare
line-up designed for Indian summers and modern skin needs. But this isn’t just another product
drop, it’s a sensory, skin-science revolution.
With a striking grenade-inspired design made entirely from 100% recycled material, the Aqua Range
doesn’t just stand out — it stands for something. The line-up includes:
Aqua-Banger Face Wash: A non-drying, deep-cleansing face wash powered by Watermelon,
Hyaluronic Acid, and Omega Fatty Acids. Designed to cleanse while boosting hydration — not
stripping it.
Aqua-Sphere Moisturizer: Lightweight yet long-lasting, this formula uses Aquaxyl, Aquaporins, and Peptides to lock in moisture for 48 hours while restoring the skin barrier. Cool, plump, and balanced skin — with every use.
Aqua-Beem Sunscreen Mist SPF 50 PA++++: A reapplication-friendly fine mist that protects without white cast, grease, or weight. Built with our Activated Naturals™, it hydrates and shields in one effortless spritz — ideal for humid Indian days.
Each product is infused with WOW’s signature Activated Naturals™ formula, a synergy of nature- inspired actives and performance-driven hydration technology.
“With the Aqua Range, we wanted to create skincare that was equal parts functional, fun, and
futuristic,” said Manish Chowdhary, Co-Founder, WOW Skin Science. “Our team pushed boundaries
from clinical-grade hydration to packaging that’s impossible to ignore. This isn’t just skincare. It’s a
hydration movement designed for India’s next-gen skin.”
In line with the brand’s Project Trust philosophy, the Aqua Range is 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and
made with recycled packaging, reinforcing WOW Skin Science’s deep commitment to clean beauty
and conscious impact.
About WOW Skin Science (Body Cupid Pvt Ltd):
Body Cupid Pvt. Ltd. is a leading beauty, personal care, and wellness company built for aspirational,
young India. With deep innovation, in-house manufacturing, and a digital-first approach, it has built
four powerful brands: WOW Skin Science, WOW Life Science, Body Cupid, and Nature Derma.

Rapido, best known for its bike taxi and auto services, has now stepped into the food delivery segment—aiming to disrupt an already competitive market dominated by giants like Zomato and Swiggy. With a strong presence in last-mile connectivity and a wide fleet of two-wheelers, Rapido is leveraging its strengths to offer fast and cost-effective food delivery services.
What Sets Rapido Food Delivery Apart?
One of Rapido’s biggest advantages is its robust rider network, already operating in over 100 cities. By integrating food delivery into its existing infrastructure, the company is reducing delivery times and cutting operational costs. The focus is on hyperlocal deliveries, making it ideal for quick orders from nearby restaurants.
Unlike traditional platforms, Rapido may also offer more flexible pricing models and faster onboarding for local food outlets and small eateries, giving them a chance to increase visibility without high commission fees.
Tech-Driven Approach
Rapido is known for its tech-forward mindset. The food delivery arm is expected to utilize real-time tracking, AI-based routing, and customer-friendly features such as in-app chat support and scheduled deliveries. This can help enhance customer satisfaction while maintaining efficiency.
Competition and Challenges
While the move is strategic, the competition is fierce. Swiggy and Zomato have years of experience, deep market penetration, and loyal customer bases. Rapido’s success will depend on how well it can differentiate its service—whether through better delivery times, lower costs, or unique restaurant partnerships.
The Road Ahead
Rapido’s entry into food delivery reflects a broader trend where mobility and logistics startups are entering quick commerce. If executed well, Rapido could carve out a niche, especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities where fast and affordable options are limited.
With growing demand for convenience and speed, Rapido’s foray into this space has the potential to reshape how consumers experience food delivery in India.
