Ikigai Law and NLSIU to Host Policy Dialogue on Online Speech Regulation

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

Bengaluru, November 5, 2025:
Ikigai Law, in collaboration with the National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bengaluru, will host a policy dialogue titled “Truth, Trust & Technology: A Policy Dialogue on Online Speech Regulation” on November 7, 2025, in Central Bengaluru. Shri Priyank Kharge, Karnataka’s Cabinet Minister for IT/BT and RDPR, will grace the occasion as Chief Guest and deliver the keynote address.

The discussion gains significance as India confronts rising concerns over misinformation, disinformation, and hate speech on digital platforms. A recent World Economic Forum survey ranked India among the nations most vulnerable to false information, a challenge that resurfaced during the recent India–Pakistan conflict when social media was flooded with misleading content. 

The dialogue will bring together policymakers, legal experts, journalists, and academics to explore balanced and constitutionally sound approaches to regulating online speech. Two panel discussions will focus on the constitutional boundaries of state-level regulation and the practical challenges of combating misinformation.

Nehaa Chaudhari, Partner at Ikigai Law, said the event aims to encourage “constitutionally anchored, forward-looking policies” that safeguard citizens while preserving free expression. The session will run from 4:30 PM to 7:00 PM on November 7.

“A Sweet Pause for Self-Care: Apollo Cancer Centres Introduce ‘Check-Olate’ to Boost Breast Cancer Awareness”

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

Apollo Cancer Centres Launches ‘Check-Olate’: A Sweet Reminder for Women’s Health

A chocolate that inspires women to pause, reflect, and prioritise self-care

Bengaluru, October 31, 2025:
In a unique initiative blending indulgence with awareness, Apollo  Cancer Centres (ACC) has introduced ‘Check-Olate’, a special chocolate designed to remind women to take a moment for themselves and focus on their health. The campaign, launched during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, turns a simple act of enjoying chocolate into a life-saving message about early detection and self-examination.

As per GLOBOCAN, breast cancer remains the leading cause of cancer among Indian women, accounting for 13.5% of all new cancer cases and 10.6% of cancer-related deaths. Yet, screening participation is worryingly low, with only 1.6% of women aged 30–69 years ever having been screened (NCBI). Addressing this gap, Apollo’s initiative aims to normalise breast self-examination as a monthly ritual and encourage women to take charge of their well-being.

Mr. Dinesh Madhavan, President – Group Oncology & International, Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Ltd., said, “When women are healthy, nations thrive. Every woman’s well-being strengthens families, communities, and the economy. At Apollo, we believe self-care is not a luxury — it’s power. Through initiatives like ‘Check-Olate’, we are promoting early detection and fostering a culture of proactive health awareness that can transform lives.”

Actor Ms. Pooja Gandhi praised the concept, saying, “‘Check-Olate’ takes something as universally loved as chocolate and turns it into a gentle, meaningful reminder for women to care for themselves. It’s a creative way to transform awareness into action.”

Each ‘Check-Olate’ bar carries a QR code that opens an animated video tutorial on how to perform a breast self-examination, making the process simple, accessible, and empowering.

Dr. Jayanti Thumsi, Lead & Robotic Surgeon – Breast Oncology, Apollo Cancer Centres, Bengaluru, added, “Early detection saves lives. ‘Check-Olate’ turns a moment of indulgence into a call for awareness, replacing fear with empowerment. Even a few minutes of self-checking each month can make a life-changing difference.”

Beyond its message, dark chocolate itself was thoughtfully chosen for its proven health benefits — rich in antioxidants and flavonoids that promote heart health, reduce inflammation, and enhance mood.

More than a Breast Cancer Awareness Month campaign, ‘Check-Olate’ represents a movement — redefining how healthcare connects with people through creativity, empathy, and purpose. With every bite, it reminds women that self-care is strength — and awareness is power.
