FIEO Urges RBI for Liquidity Support as Freight Costs Surge Amid West Asia Disruptions

  by Priyanka Jadhav   * Mumbai April 20, 2026:* The Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) has called on the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to extend additional liquidity support to exporters, citing mounting working capital pressures due to sharp increases in freight costs and prolonged shipment timelines triggered by ongoing geopolitical disruptions in West Asia. According to FIEO, logistical challenges have significantly escalated transportation costs, particularly for shipments to the Middle East, where freight rates have surged by as much as 300–400 per cent. The disruption has also spilled over into air cargo, further straining exporters. Ajay Sahai, Director General and Chief Executive Officer, FIEO, noted that delays in shipping have materially impacted payment cycles and liquidity. “Earlier, shipments to the US would reach in around 50 days; now, they are taking up to 90 days. Consequently, payment cycles have stretched from 30–60 days to 90–120 days, increas...

Precision Re-Engineered Efficacy Optimisation Emerges as a Conceptual Approach to Address Variability in Autologous Hair Treatments

Image
  by Priyanka Jadhav  MUMBAI, April 21, 2026 : Hair loss affects a large proportion of the population, with up to 50% of men experiencing visible thinning by the age of 50 and a significant number of women affected by midlife. While autologous hair restoration treatments such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC) have become a staple in hair restoration clinics, a new scientific commentary is calling for an evolution in how we approach regenerative hair therapy. In response, experts are now pointing to Precision Re-engineered Efficacy Optimisation as a new conceptual framework designed to address this variability by enabling more defined and reproducible biological signalling in regenerative hair therapy. “Autologous therapies are ‘noisy’ biological mixture. The ‘natural’ element of autologous hair regeneration protocols (PRP/GFC) is also its greatest weakness. Platelet yield, leukocyte content, activation method, centrifugation protocol, and device...

Nikhil Kamath and Ajay Banga on jobs, poverty and why India's infrastructure bet matters more than you think

Image
  by Priyanka Jadhav  In a rare candid conversation, World Bank President Ajay Banga sat down with Nikhil Kamath on People by WTF to discuss a deceptively simple question: how do you kill poverty? The answer, Banga argues, is almost brutally straightforward. You give people jobs. It's not redistributive economics or trickle-down policy. It's not even ideology. It's pragmatism. And it cuts to the heart of what the World Bank actually does—and why, in a world fragmenting along geopolitical lines, its work matters more now than it did 80 years ago. Banga walked Kamath through the architecture of global development: the IBRD, the IDA, the IFC, MIGA. The institutions sound bureaucratic. But behind each is a thesis. The poorest countries get one- third of their capital as grants. Middle-income countries like India get concessional loans. The private sector gets de-risking insurance. Each mechanism exists to answer a single question: how do you make it worth someone's while to...
