The Mother, The Map, and the Movement: How India Quietly Built the World's Most Complete Autism Care System
The smell of boiled rice drifted from the kitchen. A temple bell rang in the distance. The sun had just begun to rise over a small village near Miryalaguda when Anjali, a 4-year-old girl with silent eyes and a world locked inside her, sat cross-legged on the ground outside her home. Her mother, Sushmita, gently placed the laminated mango flashcard — faded, fingerprinted, its corners curled from weeks of use — into her lap. For months, they had sat here. Same card. Same silence. It began with a mother, a mango card — and a child's silent eyes that finally met her gaze. That moment marked the beginning of India's new autism care revolution.
But that morning was different.
Anjali looked up. Her gaze met her mother's eyes for the very first time.
She didn't speak.
She didn't need to.
The silence broke with recognition — with connection — with something that had never happened before.
What changed?
Just three weeks earlier, they had begun receiving life-empowering therapy from a Pinnacle Blooms Network center.
The therapist — Ravali Yadav a soft-spoken woman who spoke in their dialect and sat barefoot beside Sushmita — had shown her how to turn everyday routines into therapy. She left her with a packet of visual prompts, a few color-coded tools, and a printed sheet with something called an AbilityScore® — red zones, yellow zones, green zones. It looked like a report card. But for Sushmita, it was the first roadmap out of helplessness.
Anjali had been seen.
And now, she was beginning to see back.
Across India — from tribal belts in Telangana to apartment corridors in Bengaluru — these moments are unfolding every day. Quiet. Private. Powerful.
This isn't a story about a therapy session.
It is a story about hope rediscovered, voices unlocked, futures rewritten.
And behind many of these moments is a silent revolution with a loud mission: Pinnacle.
What began as one therapy center is now a 70-city movement.
What started as a mother's desperation is now a patented model.
And what was once unmeasured is now being scored, mapped, and transformed with intelligence, empathy, and design.
This is not just India's story.
This is a new chapter in how the world understands autism.
And it starts on the floor, in a village, with a mother,
a mango card,
and a child who had no words —
now reaching out to the world with her eyes. For decades, Indian children with autism and speech delay were mislabeled as 'slow' or 'stubborn'. Pinnacle Blooms Network replaced these judgments with science, empathy, and a score that gives every child a fair start. The Silence India Lived With
In India, the silence around child development didn't sound like neglect.
It sounded like waiting. For decades, autism and speech delay were misunderstood as defiance, shyness, or bad parenting.
Children who couldn't express themselves were labeled 'slow,' 'stubborn,' or worse.
Schools had no frameworks. Pediatricians had few screening tools.
And families were told to do the most dangerous thing of all:' Wait and see.'
But the numbers kept growing.
The data told a quiet story.
An estimated1 in 68 children in India may be on the autism spectrum — a number likely underreported.
1 in 5 kids now show signs of speech or communication delay before the age of five.
And perhaps most alarmingly, over 90% of neurodevelopmental issues remain undiagnosed or untreated until it is too late.
In rural areas, one therapist may serve an entire district.
In urban centers, waitlists stretch into months.
Special education is an afterthought in most schools. Inclusion is more policy than practice.
There is no unified screening protocol.
No developmental scoring method.
No language for families to understand what is truly happening to their children.
And so, families waited.
Hoped.
Googled.
Whispered.
Cried.
Because what India faced was not just a clinical gap.
It was a crisis of clarity.
Without data, there was no direction.
Without tools, there was no therapy.
Without language, there was no understanding.
And without understanding — there was no hope.
Until the silence met a system.
One not handed down butbuilt from the ground up.
Until that system gave parents something they had never had before: A score. A plan. A voice.

It did not begin with a plan.
It began with a mother.
A mother sitting across from doctors, specialists, and institutions that offered only three things: confusion, caution, and delay.
Dr. Sreeja Reddy Saripalli was not just a healthcare entrepreneur. She was a mother. And like millions of parents across India, she was told to wait. To hope. To observe.
But waiting was not enough. And hope, without a system, was cruelty.
So she built what she could not find.
In a modest room in Hyderabad — above a street shop, beside the sound of temple bells — she began assembling a team: speech therapists, occupational therapists, behavior analysts, special educators — all united by one question:
'What if we created a place that understood not just autism, but kids, parents, families?'
What followed was not a clinic. It was a quiet revolution. By 2014 , the first center opened — therapy wasn't a service. It was an ecosystem.
, the first center opened — therapy wasn't a service. It was an ecosystem. By 2015 , TherapySphere® was born — a safe and secure integrated therapy.

, was alive. Farmers, Meager Wage Employees, Daily Wage Labour.. Children whose families earned less than 25,000/month received the same therapy — no lines, no labels, no hierarchy. By2023, Pinnacle wasn't just growing. It had become India's quiet answer to the loudest question in global child development.
It is easy to call this a startup.
But startups aim to disrupt.
This movement aimed to restore.
To restore what was stolen from parents — time, clarity, community, and belief.
To restore what was never given to children — a system built around them.
Today, Pinnacle is a name. But more than that, it is a network of belief: 70+ centers
1,600+ trained experts
19 million+ sessions delivered
Families from every language, religion, income level
A score, a system, and a story that did not wait for permission
Because when institutions fail to build for children, it is often the mothers who do.
And in Pinnacle's rise, India didn't just get a therapy provider —
it uncovered a model of what's possible when science kneels at the feet of empathy,
and structure learns to serve love. Led by mothers. Built by therapists. Powered by science. From village corners to urban clinics, Pinnacle's women-led innovation stack is now being studied by Stanford, WHO, and beyond. The Innovation Stack
When the world thinks of innovation, it often imagines billion-dollar valuations, West Coast algorithms, and venture capital buzzwords.
But in India, in a therapy network led by mothers and powered by empathy, innovation took a different shape.
It took the shape of: A score that made sense of uncertainty
An AI engine that predicted meltdowns before they happened
A therapy room that spoke in color, not command
A program that turned therapy from privilege into routine
A model that gave dignity, not discounts
And a promise made not to investors, but to the nation's defenders
This is Pinnacle's Innovation Stack — a globally unmatched suite of patented systems, AI-powered intelligence, and people-first designs that bring scientific precision to emotional needs at scale.
For the first time in global autism history, this stack wasn't built for journals.
It was built for real families in real Indian towns. 1️.Pinnacle AbilityScore®
A universal score that ends parental guesswork.
The world's first developmental score that tells parents: Where their child is thriving (🟢)
Where support is needed (🟡)
Where urgent help is critical (🔴)
Patented across 160+ countries, it distills 344 skills into a single, understandable number between 0–1000. No jargon. No ambiguity. Just clarity.
This isn't a label. It's a map out of fear — showing parents, teachers, and doctors when to act and how.
And for the first time, India didn't adopt a Western metric. It created the world's first. 2️.Pinnacle TherapeuticAI®
AI that listens, learns, and adapts — like the best therapists do.
Built not in Silicon Valley, but in Hyderabad.
Not to monetize data, but to humanize therapy.
This AI engine: Tracks behavioral and emotional patterns across 344 skill dimensions
Predicts escalation before it happens
Supports therapists to adapt their plan in real time
It's not a chatbot. Not a dashboard.
It's listening intelligence — tuned to children who haven't yet found the words. 3️. SEVA™
Therapy without tiers. Access without shame.
SEVA™ is Pinnacle's subsidized therapy access model — but without branding, queues, or exclusions.
Families earning less than ₹ 25,000/month walk into the same center, sit in the same waiting room, meet the same therapists, and receive the same innovation.
This isn't aid.
It's access with dignity — and it's the most scalable, stigma-free inclusion system in child therapy in the Global South. 4️. TherapySphere™
Rooms that heal without speaking.
Step into any of Pinnacle's 70+ centers and you won't find cold white walls or institutional silence.
You'll find color, light, textures, tunnels, softness, rhythm — each calibrated for: Reducing anxiety
Stimulating neuroplasticity
Aligning spatial cues with the child's therapy profile
It's not a clinic.
It's a sacred design system for healing, born from Indian sensitivity and universal neurobiology. 5️. Everyday Therapy Programs™
Therapy that begins where the family is — and stays.
Therapy is not just what happens in sessions. It's what happens: At dinner
In the car
Before school
On the floor with a plastic spoon
This system converts structured therapy into: Daily goals
Home-based routines
Mobile-aided modules in local languages
It makes therapy not episodic — but everyday. 6️. Pinnacle National Heroes®
Therapy as gratitude. Health as national service.
Launched in 2016, this innovation is a lifetime therapy commitment to the children of India's unsung protectors: Army, Navy, Air Force
Police & Para-military
Government doctors, municipal sanitation workers, and essential frontline staff
There is no paperwork. No billing. No announcement.
Just a lifetime pass, quietly honored, to say:
'Because you served the nation, your child's future is our duty.' ✨ What Makes This Stack Revolutionary Fully integrated — no silos between diagnosis, delivery, or data
AI-validated, therapist-tested, and parent-proven
Multilingual, multi-sensory, and universally local
Already scaled: 70+ centers 1,600+ experts 19 million+ sessions delivered Thousands of families rerouted toward possibility
This is not a tech stack.
This is India's first therapeutic operating system — one that doesn't run on machines, but on meaning.
A system that makes therapy as regular as a pulse,
as intuitive as a parent's gaze,
and as irreversible as a child's right to grow. This is not a campaign. It's proof. From first words to first friendships — over 19 million therapy sessions have reshaped what's possible for India's children. ✅ Real Lives, Real Proof
You can measure science in numbers.
But you can only measure trust in the lives it changes.
At Pinnacle Blooms Network, proof is not written in pitch decks.
It is written in the halting first syllable of a child once thought voiceless.
In a father's stillness when he hears the word'Appa' for the first time.
In a therapist who chooses to miss her bus home — because today, the child finally made eye contact.
Pinnacle is available in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Delhi, Warangal, Karimnagar, Khammam, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam and 70+ cities — Find your nearest center at https://pinnacleblooms.org/centers 📍 Khammam, Telangana

India's Recognition, the World's Realization
At first, it was the parents who noticed.
Then the therapists.
Then the first district official who leaned over a therapy progress report and whispered,
'We've never seen a model like this. We need this everywhere.'
And then — something shifted.
From the modest therapy corridors of Khammam to the Sunday headlines of national media,India began to realize that something world-changing was growing in its own backyard.
It wasn't just that Pinnacle was working.
It washow it was working —
with science and soul,
with structure and softness,
with mothers at the helm and children at the heart. 🇮🇳National Honors and Media Validation
📰Times of India National Spotlight (2020)
In a full-page feature titled' Spreading Smiles Like a Dash of Sunshine', Pinnacle was honored 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 center. This is a movement — led by science, soul, and systems.'
🏆Praxis Media Women Leadership Award (2021)
Awarded to Dr. Sreeja Reddy Saripalli, not for a campaign, but for a revolution:

India's first trauma-informed, dignity-first work culture in therapy
🥇Indo Global Excellence Award (2024)
Conferred by the Deputy Chief Minister of Telangana, this honor named Pinnacle the#1 Autism Therapy Network across India-Pacific — for its patented innovations, public-private hybrid architecture, and impact at scale.
These weren't PR gimmicks.
These were institutional recognitions that validated something never seen before in global child development:
That India, not the West, had built the world's first complete autism care infrastructure.
That a mother, not a venture fund, had led it.
That a system with no asterisks, no paywalls, and no branded tiers was now charting, scoring, tracking, and transforming millions of futures. 🌍The World Begins to Turn Its Head
And then the calls started coming. Stanford, Heidelberg, Singapore Institute of Mental Health — requesting academic collaboration
— requesting academic collaboration Ministries from Nepal, UAE, Kenya, Bangladesh — inquiring about AbilityScore® licensing

on global childhood digital health In AI policy whitepapers , not under chatbots — but under empathy engines
, not under chatbots — but under In mother-led economic innovation summits as a blueprint for health systems built from the ground up
Pinnacle was no longer a network.
It was a reference architecture.
A standard.
Recognition didn't make Pinnacle real. But it made the world pause — and realize what India had done.
Not built a therapy company.
Not launched a campaign.
But drafted a new playbook for the planet: Measurable care
AI-enhanced therapy
Inclusive design
Dignity-first delivery
Scaled without dilution
India awarded it.
The world noticed it.
And now, the world is ready to learn from it —
or risk staying behind. This is what it looks like when therapy is built around the child — not around institutions. India's AI-powered, empathy-first model is setting a new global precedent. ✅ Why This Model Works
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 not just diagnosis or compassion.
It is precision with empathy. Structure with soul. Intelligence that listens.
And that is why Pinnacle works —
because it wasn't built from policy whitepapers or VC slides.
It was built from India's reality. And it was designed to last. 🇮🇳Language Diversity as a Design Principle
India doesn't speak one language.
Neither should its therapy.
Pinnacle functions in16+ regional tongues, with therapy protocols tailored to: The child's spoken language
The caregiver's literacy
The community's cultural rhythm
From Hyderabad to Hosur, Miryalaguda to Mumbai, Chennai to Karimnagar, children are not asked to 'adjust' — the therapy system adjusts to them.
Because a word in English isn't the same as a glance in Telugu.
And therapy doesn't work if the child doesn't feel understood. 📍Geographic Penetration Without Fragility
Most models collapse outside metros.
Pinnacle grows stronger in India's second and third-tier cities.
Why?
Because it is: Locally staffed
Modular by design
Resilient via cloud + edge AI
Delivering goals via WhatsApp + SMS, not just apps
This isn't a Western model adapted to India.
It's an Indian model built for India — and ready for the world. 🤝A Human-AI Partnership That Honors Intuition
Most AI in therapy mimics. Pinnacle's AI empowers. TherapeuticAI® enhances therapist intuition
enhances therapist intuition AbilityScore® replaces ambiguity with action
replaces ambiguity with action Behavior Prediction Engine doesn't surveil — it prepares
This is not 'tech-first.' It is human-first, tech-powered — built to make therapy smarter, faster, kinder. ⚖️Inclusion Not As Slogan — But As System Architecture
In most systems, inclusion is an initiative.
In Pinnacle, inclusion is the infrastructure. A farmer's child sits beside a finance executive's
A sanitation worker's daughter receives therapy in the same room as a diplomat's son
No 'SEVA' lines. No colored cards. No social hierarchy
This is true equality — not positioned. Practiced. 📊Why It Doesn't Break at Scale
Therapy systems fail for three reasons: Lack of protocol Staff burnout Parent disengagement
Pinnacle preempted all three: Protocol : via standardized, patented, cross-checkable innovations
: via standardized, patented, cross-checkable innovations People : via 72% women-led teams, upskilled, celebrated, retained
: via 72% women-led teams, upskilled, celebrated, retained Parents: via Everyday Therapy™, mobile access, language-aligned reports
This is not a fragile pilot.
This is a resilient, regenerative ecosystem — with built-in feedback loops across every level. 🌏Globally Adaptable. Fiercely Local. Universally Needed.
Could it work in: Kenya ? Absolutely.
? Absolutely. Philippines? Easily.
Easily. UK boroughs with South Asian diaspora? Already being explored.
Already being explored. Conflict zones where children are forgotten before they're found? Especially there.
Because this system doesn't depend on bandwidth or budget.
It depends on belief, blueprint, and belonging. Why does this model work?
Because it is not a compromise.
It is not a copy.
It is a conviction.
Designed in India.
Led by mothers.
Built for every child the world forgot to include. Pinnacle isn't exporting a product. It's offering a framework. A mother-built, multilingual, modular autism system now ready for every nation still searching for solutions. What the World Can Learn
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 didn't wait for an imported blueprint.
It built one. From scratch.
For its people.
In its languages.
At a scale the West still struggles to comprehend.
And now, the world isn't responding with charity.
It's responding with respect. 🌍A Model for ASEAN, Africa, and Latin America
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 don't need imported solutions.
They need a replicable framework.
And that's what Pinnacle offers.
Because this system is: Language-agnostic (operates in 16+ tongues)
(operates in 16+ tongues) Infrastructure-light (runs on edge devices, low-bandwidth AI)
(runs on edge devices, low-bandwidth AI) Community-powered (trained caregivers can deliver Everyday Therapy™)

What India built isn't a franchise.
It's a framework.
A flexible, intelligent, mother-powered therapeutic grid for the Global South — and beyond. 🧩What Makes It Universally Adaptable Scoring System: AbilityScore® doesn't care about borders. It maps skills — and skills are universal.

This isn't 'Made in India.'
It's meant for everywhere. 🤝A South-South Offering — Not an Export
Pinnacle isn't exporting.
It's inviting.
'We, too, struggled. This is what helped us.
If it helps you — take it. Adapt it. Own it. Lead with it.'
From Vietnam to Venezuela, from Botswana to Bangladesh, from rural Tamil Nadu to refugee camps in Jordan, there are parents asking the same silent question:
'Will someone understand my child?'
Pinnacle doesn't bring answers.
It brings tools to find your own. 🕊️Why This Moment Matters
Because for the first time, the global autism story is not being told by Boston or Berlin.
It's being told by: A therapist in Eluru
A mother in Warangal
A grandmother in Vijayawada
An AI model trained in Karimnagar
A child who said' Amma' for the first time in Miryalaguda
These voices are no longer whispers.
They're becoming templates for transformation. 🌎 What the World Can Learn That innovation is not geography. It's empathy.
That scale is not funding. It's community.
That progress isn't a pipeline. It's a partnership.
And that the next global standard for child development
may not come from Geneva or Washington —
But from India.
From a woman.
From a village.
From a mother who refused to wait. From one therapy room in Hyderabad to 70+ cities across India — with 19 million+ sessions and counting — Pinnacle's journey is just beginning. What started as a mother's need has become the world's new autism framework. What Comes Next?
It started with one center.
Now there are 70.
Across 70 cities.
Staffed by 1,600+ trained professionals.
Backed by 19 million+ therapy sessions.
And still — it's only just beginning.
Because Pinnacle's vision doesn't stop at India's borders.
It stretches across time zones and zip codes — to every village, every megacity, every continent where: A child still waits in silence
A parent still fears asking the wrong question
A school still isn't ready
And a government still doesn't know where to start 🛤️The Road Ahead Isn't a Line. It's a Living Grid.
Pinnacle isn't expanding.
It's inviting.
Not to a franchise.
To a framework.
Not to a transaction.
To a transformation.
An open-source, multilingual, mother-driven, AI-powered ecosystem —offered to the world.
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. Come co-build with us. 🌍What's Already Underway 🇦🇪 UAE: Exploring AbilityScore® for public developmental clinics in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah

This isn't hypothetical.
It's already happening. 🔭The Vision: 90 Crore Children. One Shared System.
Every child — regardless of race, religion, or region — deserves more than a diagnosis.
They deserve a map.
Not a label.
Not a waitlist.
Not a brochure.
But a data-backed, empathy-aligned, parent-empowering roadmap that tells them: 🧠 What their brain needs
💬 What their emotions mean
👨👩👧👦 What their family can do
📈 What progress looks like
This is the vision:
🟢 A global child development dashboard powered by AbilityScore®
🟢 AI-enabled therapy co-pilots that speak your language
🟢 A SEVA™ equity model transcending borders — from Kerala to Kampala
🟢 Community therapists trained by mothers and machines — side by side
🟢 And a world where autism is no longer something families whisper about
but something they understand, track, support, and celebrate 🕊️But Pinnacle Can't Do This Alone
Pinnacle doesn't seek to dominate.
It seeks to dismantle barriers.
It seeks alignment.
Integration.
Shared sovereignty in child care innovation.

This Is A Realignment of What's Possible.
India has already built what no other country has: A therapy ecosystem backed by data
Powered by AI
Guided by mothers
And open to the world
The next chapter begins not with what Pinnacle can do next —
but with who has the courage to stand beside it. It took the world 144 years to understand autism. It took Indian mothers to give it a voice, a score, and a future. This is not a story. This is a new global standard. 'The world waited 144 years to understand autism — and it was India, through the hands of its mothers, that finally gave it a voice.'
This is not a story.
This is a standard.
This is not a press release.
This is a precedent.
This is not a tribute to Pinnacle.
It is a tribute to what becomes possible when a country: Builds from its roots
Leads with its women
And listens to its children
Pinnacle isn't just India's answer.
It is the world's new question: 'If this was possible there — why not everywhere?' You can avail Free autism screening or Get Started with AbilityScore®

Salute to sacrifice: How disability pension for armed forces veterans won legal sanctity
The Delhi High Court, in a landmark verdict, has delivered a decisive blow to the ministry of defence's move to deny disability pensions to hundreds of retired armed forces personnel.A division bench of Justices Navin Chawla and Shalinder Kaur dismissed nearly 300 writ petitions, upholding the Armed Forces Tribunal's rulings in favour of the veterans. The pension claims were initially denied due to the disability being deemed 'Neither Attributable nor Aggravated' (NANA) by the competent medical board, as per the pension December, INDIA TODAY's story War Over The Wounded (edition dated December 16, 2024) had highlighted the issue wherein the ministry of defence resorted to filing hundreds of appeals in higher courts to challenge disability pensions to armed forces personnel by contradicting the government's stated policy to reduce defence ministers Manohar Parrikar and Nirmala Sitharaman had issued directives not to challenge tribunal orders granting disability benefits. Yet the ministry continued to file appeals, often against widows and disabled soldiers. For veterans, the percentage of disability is a critical factor that determines their pension and associated benefits. In September 2023, the ministry of defence revised the disability benefit rules, but clarified that the rule would apply only to those persons who retire after September 21, 2023, with no retrospective of defence staff General Anil Chauhan made it clear the disability pension-related rules had been revised to protect genuine soldiers' requirements. 'A study was [done] to protect the genuine interest of the personnel, who acquired disability during service, while preventing the exploitation of its liberal provisions from misuse,' he July 1, while delivering the order, the high court bench stated that the purpose of granting disability pension to personnel of the Indian armed forces was to provide necessary financial support to those who had sustained a disability or illness during their service, due to service conditions.'It is not an act of generosity but a rightful and just acknowledgement of the sacrifices endured by them, which manifests in the form of disabilities/disorders suffered during their military service. Such a pension ensures that a soldier who suffers injury or disability due to service conditions is not left without support and is able to live with financial security and dignity. It is a measure that upholds the State's responsibility towards its soldiers, who have served the nation with courage and devotion,' the court on behalf of the government, the attorney general informed the high court that in the present batch of petitions, none of the 'individuals has been out of service'. Consequently, not a single one of them is, per se, eligible to be considered for the award of disability pension. He further submitted that the Armed Forces Tribunal did not consider the revised entitlement rule of 2008 by the ministry of defence while passing on judgment. 'Such a departure from the provisions clearly enunciated by the government of India has rendered its policies on the subject completely irrelevant, redundant and ineffective,' the attorney general challenging the disability element to pensioners, the attorney general submitted that in the current cases, the disabilities of the respondents were assessed by the Release Medical Board (RMB) as well as by the competent/appellate authorities as neither attributable to nor aggravated by the military service, after considering their entire medical history and service concluding his stand, the attorney general stated that the medical board consists of experts who thoroughly assess individuals and their complete medical history in accordance with the relevant medical provisions. Based on this examination, they determine whether the disability can be considered attributable to or aggravated by military service. 'Therefore, the courts, within their limited scope of judicial review, should refrain from disputing the opinion of the medical board unless there is compelling medical evidence on record to contradict it,' he the court stated that it must always be kept in view that the armed forces personnel, while defending the country, have to perform their duties in extremely harsh and inhuman weather and conditions, wherein surviving each day is a challenge. It is, therefore, incumbent upon the RMB to furnish cogent and well-reasoned justification for their conclusions that the disease/disability suffered by the personnel cannot be said to be attributable to or aggravated by such service onus is not discharged by the RMB by simply relying on when such disability/disease is noticed also said that it must be noted that even in peace stations, military service is inherently stressful due to a combination of factors, such as strict discipline, long working hours, limited personal freedom and constant readiness for deployment. The psychological burden of being away from family, living in isolated or challenging environments, and coping with the uncertainty of sudden transfers or duties adds to this strain. The toll of continuous combat training further contributes to mental fatigue.'Despite the absence of active conflict or the challenges of hard area postings, the demanding nature of military life at peace stations can significantly impact the overall well-being of personnel,' the court said, adding that soldiers are always aware that threat is never far environment, wherein danger is a constant reality for their peers and could become their own at any moment, creates a persistent state of mental and emotional strain that cannot be overlooked. Thus, military service, whether in peace locations or operational zones, inherently carries stress that may predispose armed force personnel to medical conditions, including hypertension, the court to India Today Magazine- Ends

Infosys HR sends 'detailed warning email' to employees: We must work….'
India's second-largest IT services company Infosys has begun sending personalized warning emails to employees who exceed standard working hours, directly contradicting founder N.R. Narayana Murthy 's recent advocacy for a 70-hour workweek. The Bengaluru-based firm has implemented an automated monitoring system that triggers alerts when employees work beyond 9 hours and 15 minutes daily. "We must work for 9.15 hours a day for five days a week, and if we overshoot this while working remotely, it prompts a trigger," an employee told The Economic Times. The company's HR department now tracks remote working hours monthly, sending detailed notifications to staff members who exceed prescribed durations. Infosys monitors remote work hours to prevent burnout The monitoring system was introduced following hybrid working arrangements for Infosys's 323,500 employees. When excessive hours are detected, HR sends comprehensive notifications including information about remote working days, total hours worked, and daily averages. The company's workplace policy, implemented in November 2023, requires staff to be present in office for minimum 10 days monthly. "While we appreciate your commitment, we also believe that maintaining a healthy work-life balance is crucial for both your well-being and long-term professional success," states the HR communication reviewed by financial dailies. The emails emphasize that prioritizing health and work-life balance benefits both personal wellbeing and professional success. Health concerns drive policy shift in Indian IT sector This initiative emerges amid growing concerns about young tech professionals facing health challenges, particularly cardiac issues attributed to irregular dietary and rest patterns. The company's guidance includes specific recommendations: "Take regular breaks during your workday; Let your manager know if you are feeling overwhelmed or need support with reviewing priorities." The policy represents a significant departure from Murthy's recent statements calling for Indians to work 70 hours weekly to accelerate economic growth. The move reflects evolving workplace norms in Indian IT, where employee mental health and sustainable productivity are gaining prominence over extended working hours.

‘India's Criminal Justice System Reformatory, Not Retributive': Justice Surya Kant
Last Updated: Justice Surya Kant highlighted that while public perception seems to believe that addiction is simply a 'bad habit', it is a complex condition that alters a person's behaviour The Indian criminal justice system is reformatory, not retributive, said Justice Surya Kant on Friday at an event in Telangana. 'The school of thought followed by the Indian criminal justice system is reformatory, not retributive. We firmly believe in giving people a second chance, and we do not punish them simply for the sake of punishment," said Justice Kant, while inaugurating a dedicated de-addiction centre at Chanchalguda Central Prison, Hyderabad. The centre marks a significant step toward reforming lives within the prison system. With a focus on holistic recovery, the centre aims to provide medical treatment, psychological counselling, and rehabilitative support to inmates affected by substance abuse. As emphasised during the event, addiction is not merely a bad habit—it is a condition that requires care, understanding, and sustained support. Speaking further, Justice Surya Kant highlighted that while the public perception seems to believe that addiction is simply a 'bad habit', it is a serious and complex condition that alters a person's behaviour, their thinking, their emotions, and their control over their actions. 'Addiction to any substance can lead even the best person astray and compel them to make bad choices," he added.
