Eureka Mobile to launch Video on Mobile
MUMBAI: Eureka Mobile a leading live engagement platform on mobile brings another first in the form of video on mobile. Mobile has now become the first screen,but watching videos on the mobile screen is an excruciatingly painful experience. The user spends a lot of time waiting for buffering and for a data connection. Which is where Eureka’s technology team, in its constant endeavor to innovate, has launched an exciting asset, VIDEO on Tap. No more waiting ….no need for an active data connection at the time of watching the video, all one has to do is just tap the mobile screen and enjoy the VIDEO without any buffering and interruptions.
With the increase in watching video content online amongst many Indians on their smart phones and PC, the Indian video advertising market is expected to more than double this year, according to IAMAI estimates. In 2013-14, the market was $55 million and the latest IAMAI estimates put the 2014-15 numbers at $115 million. Globally, the video advertising market was estimated to be $4.15 billion in 2013, according to eMarketer.
From a brand point of view it will help to target both the B2C and B2B audience. In the case of B2C the advertiser can target their audience any time anywhere with precision.

Beacon Group appoints Dr Rajesh Patel as Group CEO
36-year healthcare veteran to lead Beacon Diagnostics, Vector Biotek, Biogeny.
MUMBAI: A new chief, a fresh diagnosis and a sharper prescription for growth. Beacon Group has appointed Dr Rajesh Patel as its Group Chief Executive Officer, effective April 1, 2026, signalling a decisive push to scale its presence in the diagnostics and IVD space. Patel steps into the role with 36 years of experience across the healthcare and diagnostics industry, bringing a career shaped by leadership roles spanning sales, marketing, business development and operational strategy. His mandate is both expansive and precise: to steer the group’s overall strategic direction while tightening coordination across its three core entities Beacon Diagnostics, Vector Biotek and Biogeny Diagnostics.
In practical terms, that means driving cross-company synergies, accelerating market expansion and strengthening organisational capability areas increasingly critical as diagnostic players compete for scale in a fragmented yet rapidly evolving healthcare ecosystem. The group is positioning itself to capture unmet demand across chain laboratories, key accounts and standalone labs, segments that remain underserved despite growing diagnostic needs.
The appointment comes at a time when the In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) sector in India is entering a more competitive and innovation-led phase, with companies focusing not just on product pipelines but also on service delivery, integration and customer-centric models. Beacon’s leadership appears to be betting that Patel’s execution-focused approach can help translate ambition into operational momentum.
Welcoming the appointment, Chairman Dr D K Joshi described Patel’s induction as a strategic move aligned with the group’s long-term vision, emphasising the role of leadership depth in navigating the next phase of growth.
For Beacon Group, the message is clear, in a sector where precision matters, leadership is the new differentiator—and this appointment is intended to set the tone for what comes next.
