Nobel Hygiene partners with Zoomcar for delivery of adult diapers
MUMBAI: The population group among the most affected – mentally and physically – by the global coronavirus pandemic are the elderly. Keeping their essential needs in mind, Nobel Hygiene has partnered with Zoomcar, a car rental service provider to deliver their adult diapers, Friends, directly to their customers.
This service is currently operating in Mumbai, Bengaluru and Chennai, and will soon be extended to other cities. They have already successfully delivered 200 packages across the three cities via this tie-up. These are orders that people have placed via friendsadultdiaper.in.
The brand is following the government guidelines on safety and hygiene. The delivery car is being sanitized each day before it leaves the premises. Each cash-on-delivery customer is personally given a call, requesting them to make the payment online to support cashless deliveries. Social distancing norms are strictly followed – the driver informs the customer about the delivery and requests them to collect the package from the building watchman.
Nobel Hygiene VP Kartik Johari said: “In such unprecedented times, we are striving to ensure continuity in the supply of an essential product like ours. Families having an elderly person in the house who suffers from incontinence rely heavily on Adult diapers. We want to ensure that our customers have access to our products during this lockdown situation and our partnership with Zoom car will help in the safe delivery of our products across major cities, making it accessible and convenient for our consumers."
The team will launch this service in other cities in the coming weeks.

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.
