SBF Opens Singapore Enterprise Centre in Bengaluru to Strengthen Bilateral Business Links

Bengaluru, November 13, 2025: The Singapore Business Federation (SBF) has opened its fourth Singapore Enterprise Centre (SEC) in Bengaluru, marking its first expansion outside Southeast Asia. The centre aims to help Singapore companies, especially SMEs, explore India’s fast-growing market through advisory services, networking, and business collaborations.

The new facility is part of GlobalConnect@SBF, a joint initiative of Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG) and SBF that supports businesses in their overseas ventures. India, now the world’s fourth-largest economy with projected GDP growth of 6.6% in 2025, continues to be Singapore’s largest investment destination for the seventh year in a row. The SEC@Bengaluru plans to engage more than 470 enterprises over the next two years through trade missions and market access programs.

The centre was inaugurated by Ms Gan Siow Huang, Singapore’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Trade and Industry; Ms Shobha Karandlaje, India’s Minister for Labour and Employment and MSME; and Mr Priyank M. Kharge, Karnataka’s Minister for Electronics, IT & Biotechnology, and Rural Development.

A MoU between LAC Global Pte Ltd and JVKM India (Mitraa Wellness) was signed to boost cooperation in the wellness sector, combining Singapore’s science-based innovations with India’s traditional practices.

SBF CEO Mr Kok Ping Soon said the centre would serve as a single contact point for companies to “learn, land, and localise” in India, reinforcing the strong business partnership between both nations.

India’s Smart ID, But a Blind Spot in Voting

Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)

Aadhaar Everywhere — Except Where It Matters Most

Aadhaar today is linked to nearly every aspect of daily life — from PAN cards, ration cards, and bank accounts to mobile numbers, LPG connections, school exams, office attendance, and almost all government welfare schemes.

Yet, one crucial link is still missing — the voter ID card.

Speaking to City Today News, G.S. Gopal Raaj, Editor, observed that if Aadhaar can be seamlessly used for income tax, rations, or even vaccination drives during the pandemic, there is no reason why the Election Commission cannot use the same system to clean up the voter rolls. “Linking Aadhaar with voter IDs would instantly help remove fake and duplicate entries, just like it did with ration cards,” he said.

Gopal Raaj further pointed out that while citizens face a fine of ₹10,000 for not linking Aadhaar with their PAN, there is still no such compulsion when it comes to elections — the very backbone of democracy.

He added, “If technology can simplify taxation and welfare delivery, it should also ensure the purity of our electoral process. The Election Commission must act before democracy continues to trip over its own duplications.”
