Pair-ie Tales Launches in India: A Purpose-Led Women's Footwear Brand Redefining Comfort, Style, and Sustainability
Gurgaon, Haryana, India (NewsVoir) India welcomes the launch of Pair-ie Tales, a new-age women's footwear brand built on the principles of comfort, character, and conscious design. Officially launched earlier this month, the brand marks its entry into the Indian lifestyle and fashion segment with a bold offering: fashion-forward footwear that delivers uncompromised comfort through its proprietary Cloud Comfort™ sole system- a triple-layered innovation engineered for real-life wearability.
Born from the belief that footwear can be both expressive and supportive, Pair-ie Tales merges contemporary design with meaningful functionality. Every pair is crafted using premium faux leather, breathable linings, and ethically sourced components, reinforcing the brand's commitment to cruelty-free, sustainable fashion. The brand's packaging too reflects this ethos- 100% plastic-free, with each box designed as a storytelling-inspired keepsake, making the unboxing experience as personal as the pair itself.
'We started Pair-ie Tales with a very simple but strong conviction that women should not have to choose between how they look and how they feel,' said Gaurav Srivastava, Founder of Pair-ie Tales. 'Each design is rooted in the reality of women's lives- from busy commutes and long meetings to spontaneous plans and everything in between. Our shoes are meant to walk with you, not against you.' The brand name itself, Pair-ie Tales, is a thoughtful twist on the word 'fairy tales,' representing a larger mission- shifting the narrative from stories traditionally told about women to ones led and authored by them. Through this lens, each collection is designed to reflect a chapter in modern womanhood, celebrating resilience, individuality, and everyday expression.
Pair-ie Tales offers an initial product range including flat sandals, everyday slip-ons, versatile heels, and bold statement pieces- all unified by their design aesthetic and all-day wearability. The brand operates as a digital-first business via www.pairietales.com and is headquartered in Gurgaon, India.
'This isn't just about shoes- it's about how women walk through the world. Our goal is to create footwear that adapts to life, reflects personality, and never asks you to compromise,' added Gaurav.
As it enters the Indian fashion landscape, Pair-ie Tales positions itself as a label of belonging, empowerment, and bold comfort- an invitation to women everywhere to walk freely, feel fully, and step confidently into every chapter of their story.

A ready guide to investing into Dynamic Asset Allocation Funds
Indian investors are faced with a complex and ever-evolving financial landscape, which comes with both opportunity and uncertainty. Our stock markets, like the Sensex and Nifty, are showing strong growth backed by a robust domestic economy and consistent investment inflows. The Sensex has witnessed a 10 per cent growth since April 2025 driven by strong economic growth. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), too, is playing its part well, as the nation prioritises growth while keeping prices stable. Recently, it adjusted interest rates and forecasted lower inflation for the next year with a projected CPI inflation of 3.7 per cent. However, there are some apprehensions owing to geopolitical factors and other reasons like inflation, changing interest rates, etc. In this kind of a market, Dynamic Asset Allocation Funds (DAAFs), are becoming a preferred choice for investors as they offer an effective way to handle the changing market cycles. They are an effective means for wealth creation as they steer market conditions in favour of the fund and use volatility as a growth tool. Unlike traditional plans that keep a fixed amount in stocks and bonds, DAAFs let fund managers constantly adjust investments based on what's happening in the market and various economic signals. So, when stock markets are performing strongly, the fund can increase its exposure to stocks. Conversely, when markets are shaky or stock prices are falling, the fund can shift more money into safer investments like bonds. This is why they are also called 'all season funds'. Why should you invest in Dynamic Asset Allocation Funds? In times when markets are volatile, DAAFs can actually exhibit greater stability as compared to other more aggressive hybrid funds by lowering the allocation to equities. So, while you can enjoy the upside from the gains, you can lower the risk of a downside and optimise returns by dynamically adjusting the allocation to equities based on market valuations. It is worth examining how specific DAAFs are designed to meet diverse investor needs. For instance, the Parag Parikh Dynamic Asset Allocation Fund offers a distinct approach within this category, particularly appealing to more conservative investors seeking a significant debt allocation. 'The Parag Parikh Dynamic Asset Allocation Fund (PPDAAF) is thoughtfully designed for conservative investors—particularly those traditionally inclined toward debt but seeking a more flexible alternative', said Neil Parag Parikh, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PPFAS Mutual Fund. 'It dynamically adjusts its equity and debt allocation based on market valuations, helping manage downside risk while retaining growth potential.' According to Parikh, the scheme is especially well-suited for two key investor segments: those seeking debt allocation with the potential for better post-tax returns, and retirees or conservative investors looking for regular cash flows via systematic withdrawal plans, without exposing their capital to excessive equity volatility. 'Our debt portfolio prioritises credit quality and liquidity,' he added. 'We invest primarily in top-rated instruments—high-quality corporate papers, sovereign and State government securities. On the equity side, we look for companies with strong cash flows or healthy dividends and hold them long-term unless there is a compelling reason to exit.' A major advantage highlighted of PPDAAF is its tax efficiency. Unlike many debt-oriented hybrid funds that maintain equity exposure below 30%, Parag Parikh Dynamic Asset Allocation Fund (PPDAAF) maintains a minimum equity allocation of 35%, thereby qualifying for equity taxation. This strategy reduces long-term capital gains tax to 12.5% plus applicable SC & 4% HEC if held for more than two years, compared to slab-rate taxation applied to traditional debt funds or some conventional modes of investments. 'By keeping equity allocation just above the threshold, we retain a high debt orientation while staying within the bounds of favourable tax treatment,' Parikh explained. Further distinguishing the fund is its low-cost structure. 'We also offer one of the lowest expense ratios in this category, allowing investors to retain more of their returns,' he noted. These features make the Parag Parikh Dynamic Asset Allocation Fund a compelling option for those seeking a debt-heavy allocation with tax benefits. Whether you are a risk averse investor looking for something that prioritises capital protection, or seeking diversification in your equity-heavy portfolio, this fund offers an efficient alternative to fixed income instruments. It also offers the gains of no lock-in, giving you the flexibility of using your money when you need it.

India Accelerates Deployment Of 52 Military Surveillance Satellites Following Operation Sindoor
India has expedited its ambitious military satellite program, announcing plans to deploy 52 defense surveillance satellites by 2029 as part of a comprehensive strategy to strengthen space-based monitoring capabilities across sensitive border regions with China and Pakistan, as well as the Indian Ocean Region. The substantial Rs 26,968 crore initiative represents a direct response to China's expanding military space infrastructure and aims to establish continuous real-time surveillance and enhanced border security measures. The program has gained urgency following strategic insights gained from Operation Sindoor, which demonstrated the critical importance of indigenous and commercial satellite-based tracking systems. Under the third phase of the Space-Based Surveillance program, the Indian Space Research Organisation will be responsible for launching 21 satellites, while three private sector companies will develop and deploy the remaining 31 satellites. This public-private partnership approach marks a significant shift in India's defense satellite strategy, emphasizing rapid deployment capabilities and technological innovation. The satellite constellation's deployment timeline begins with the first satellite launch scheduled for April 2026, with the entire network expected to achieve full operational capacity by the end of 2029. The system will provide high-resolution imaging capabilities and enhanced revisit frequencies to support India's Army, Navy, and Air Force in monitoring adversary movements within enemy territory. A key innovation in this program involves ISRO's plan to transfer Small Satellite Launch Vehicle technology to private partners, enabling swift satellite deployment during emergency situations. This capability ensures rapid response times for critical surveillance needs and maintains operational flexibility during periods of heightened tension. Air Marshal Ashutosh Dixit, Chief of Integrated Defence Staff, emphasized the strategic importance of early threat detection, stating that India must identify and track potential threats while they remain in staging areas, airfields, and bases deep within adversary territory, rather than waiting until they approach Indian borders. The Integrated Defence Staff is supervising the comprehensive project, which will utilize both low Earth orbit and geostationary orbit configurations to maximize coverage and surveillance effectiveness. The satellite network is designed to serve as both a deterrent and countermeasure against China's developing anti-satellite capabilities, including kinetic weapons and electronic warfare systems. The acceleration of this program reflects India's recognition of space as a critical domain for national security, particularly given the evolving threat landscape in the region. The constellation will significantly enhance India's ability to monitor strategic locations, track military movements, and maintain situational awareness across vast geographical areas. This initiative positions India among the leading nations in military space capabilities, demonstrating its commitment to maintaining strategic autonomy and defensive preparedness in an increasingly complex security environment. The project's success will establish India as a formidable player in space-based defense systems while providing essential intelligence capabilities for national security operations.
