New Delhi [India], May 6: Premas Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd. (PLS), a pioneering enabler of life science innovations in India, has announced a strategic collaboration with Sphere Bio, a global leader in picodroplet-based microfluidic technologies for functional single-cell analysis. This partnership represents a significant leap in bringing transformative, next-generation platforms to scientists and researchers in India and Bangladesh. The collaboration is rooted in a shared vision: empowering biopharma, biotech, and academic communities with cutting-edge tools that accelerate discovery and drive impactful science. With this alliance, Premas will bring Sphere Bio’s high-performance solutions – including their flagship Cyto-Mine® platform and a growing assay portfolio – closer to researchers in South Asia, supported by localized technical expertise and seamless implementation support.

Sphere Bio, formerly known as Sphere Fluidics, is widely recognized for its innovations in single-cell and picodroplet microfluidics. Their technologies enable ultra-high-throughput analysis, sorting, and isolation of individual cells – critical for applications such as antibody discovery, cell line development, and advanced cell therapy research. These platforms are currently used by leading pharma companies and research institutions around the world to enhance the speed and accuracy of biologic development.

For Premas Life Sciences, this partnership is a natural extension of its mission to democratize access to advanced life science tools. Over the last 18 years, PLS has built a strong legacy of introducing globally benchmarked technologies to India’s scientific ecosystem – spanning genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, and diagnostics. Their ability to not only introduce but also embed technologies through technical training, application support, and long-term scientific partnerships makes them uniquely positioned to amplify the impact of Sphere Bio’s offerings.

“India is entering a new era of biomedical innovation, with increased investments in biosimilars, vaccines, and cell and gene therapies. This collaboration with Sphere Bio allows us to deliver the kind of scientific capabilities that can transform how research is done in this region–faster, more precisely, and with greater reproducibility. With the government’s strong push through initiatives like the Bio-E3 policy, PRIP scheme, and its vision for bio foundries, we believe technologies like Sphere Bio’s Cyto-Mine® will play a crucial role in accelerating antibody discovery and cell line development, further strengthening the ‘Made in India’ biotech ecosystem. We’re excited to co-create a future where access to such platforms is not a barrier but a baseline.” said Praveen Gupta, Managing Director of Premas Life Sciences.

Sphere Bio echoed this optimism. “We see South Asia as a region with enormous scientific potential. Our partnership with Premas is about more than market access – it’s about long-term impact. Premas brings deep local understanding, technical know-how, and a genuine commitment to enabling discovery. Together, we aim to catalyse the next wave of breakthroughs in biologics and personalized medicine.” said Dale Levitzke, CEO of Sphere Bio

“Our partnership with Premas Life Sciences is a key milestone in our mission to make cutting-edge single-cell technologies more accessible across the APAC region. India and Bangladesh represent rapidly growing innovation hubs, and we see immense potential in empowering local researchers with tools that meet global standards. Premas brings deep market understanding, strong scientific engagement, and a track record of successful technology integration–making them an ideal partner to drive regional adoption and impact.” said Jay Manikandan, VP Commercial (APAC), Sphere Bio

This alliance comes at a pivotal time, as the biotech landscape in India and Bangladesh rapidly evolves with government backing, rising R&D investment, and a growing scientific workforce. As demand for next-gen therapeutics increases, so does the need for high-resolution, scalable tools–precisely what Sphere Bio delivers. Together, Premas and Sphere Bio are building a scientific bridge between global innovation and regional potential. Beyond product access, the partnership offers localized support, training, and tailored solutions aligned with international standards. It sets a new benchmark for how advanced technologies can be effectively introduced and scaled in emerging biotech markets.

Published

Surrey, CanadaWith the beauty and wellness industry in Canada projected to grow by 8% annually and over 50,000 job openings expected by 2026, students are increasingly turning toward skill-based education as a pathway to rewarding careers. Recognizing this demand and the immense potential of Indian talent, Orane International has inaugurated its third college in Canada — now open in Surrey.

We spoke with Mr Dinesh Sood, MD at Orane International about what this means for students, global career pathways, and the evolving future of beauty education.

A Growing Demand for Indian Talent

Indian beauty professionals continue to be in high demand globally, especially in Canada where the South Asian population exceeds 2 million. Skills in bridal makeup, henna art, Ayurvedic beauty therapies, and holistic wellness are not just valued — they are celebrated.

Orane’s new campus in Surrey, a city known for its cultural diversity, is perfectly positioned to tap into this growing need while also giving Indian students and local enthusiasts a platform to upskill and gain international credentials.

Education That Opens Doors

Orane International has built its reputation by delivering globally aligned training rooted in both modern techniques and traditional expertise.

  • High-end salons and spas
  • Wellness retreats and health centers
  • Destination weddings and event styling
  • International cruise lines and luxury resorts

In addition, Orane certifications are internationally recognized, providing students a passport to global employment.

Fueling Entrepreneurship

What sets Orane apart is its focus not just on employability but also entrepreneurial empowerment. With the Canadian market’s rising interest in multicultural and sustainable beauty services, Orane graduates are well-positioned to start their own ventures, from beauty studios to holistic wellness clinics — blending cultural authenticity with innovation.

A Milestone That Builds Bridges

“We’ve always believed in empowering individuals through skill-based education,” shared a spokesperson from Orane. “This new college is more than a milestone — it’s a bridge between passion and profession, tradition and technology, and Indian talent and global opportunity.”

With increasing enrollments expected and a vibrant local community eager to embrace diverse beauty solutions, the launch of Orane’s third college in Canada marks a new era of accessible, purpose-driven education.

Empowering Tween Girls Through Purposeful Skincare: Meet the Founders Behind TIVA, India’s First Personal Care Brand for Ages 8-12

Published

on

In a saturated personal care market often dominated by products catering to either toddlers or adults, two women entrepreneurs–Sonam Daruka and Shweta Sinha–are rewriting the narrative with TIVA, India’s first skincare brand created exclusively for girls aged 8 to 12.

Co-founded by Sonam Daruka, a serial entrepreneur and mother of a 7-year-old, and Shweta Sinha, an analytics leader and mother to an 8-year-old, TIVA is more than just a business venture. It is a purpose-led brand born out of a personal insight and a deep understanding of an underserved yet critical age group–pre-teen girls.

“We grew up in a time when skincare meant sharing the same soap with everyone in the family. But today’s girls are evolving faster–they’re curious, expressive, and ready for self-care. Yet, the market has very little that speaks directly to them,” says Sonam.

The Genesis of TIVA

The inspiration for TIVA came from their shared experiences as mothers and professionals. While navigating the parenting journey, Sonam and Shweta noticed a recurring gap: a lack of safe, age-appropriate personal care products tailored for young girls transitioning from childhood to adolescence. Existing brands were either too babyish or too mature, leaving tweens overlooked in a booming Rs8000+ crore personal care market.

TIVA as a Brand with a Mission

Launched with a vision to empower young girls through self-care, TIVA is designed to be gentle, fun, and empowering. The brand focuses on dermatologist-tested, chemical-free formulations made specifically for tween skin, combining natural ingredients with vibrant packaging and affirming messages.

For girls, TIVA offers ownership and identity in their self-care routines–products that feel made just for them. For parents, especially mothers, it offers trust and safety–products they can confidently introduce to their daughters.

Creating a Community, Not Just a Product Line

What distinguishes TIVA is not just the innovation in its products but the community it is building. With initiatives like TIVA TV, the brand offers a digital platform for girls to explore self-expression and creativity. This thoughtful approach is resonating with a growing tribe of modern Indian parents who are mindful of not just what their children use, but why.

“TIVA is a celebration of every girl’s journey–her confidence, her curiosity, and her dreams,” adds Shweta.

Market Opportunity & Brand Differentiation

As India’s Gen Alpha cohort continues to expand, so does the demand for products tailored to their unique lifestyles. TIVA is strategically positioned at the intersection of wellness, identity, and social good. Its first-mover advantage in the tween personal care category gives it a competitive edge in a market ripe for disruption.

Availability & Outreach

TIVA products are currently available via Amazon India, the brand’s official website, and its fast-growing Instagram community. The brand is also actively engaging customers through storytelling and influencer collaborations.
