Republic Media Network, BeatO team up for diabetes awareness campaign
Mumbai: Republic Media Network and BeatO have come together to launch the social campaign called ‘India Beats Diabetes.’ The campaign focuses on showcasing facts about diabetes, breaking myths, and starting conversations with the masses to drive better health outcomes in the country.
Through this campaign, BeatO aims at enabling people with diabetes and pre-diabetes to effectively control and reduce the severity of the condition, with the knowledge and expertise of top doctors and coaches from BeatO, said the statement.
“The prevalence of diabetes in India is enormous. The general awareness of the condition in the country is low, which results in a significant effect on the number of complications that people experience,” stated Republic Media Network MD and editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami. “There is an urgency for a sustained conversation on this subject; creating awareness on diabetes and the necessary measures required to battle it. Republic stands tall with partners who dedicate themselves to a social cause.”
“Gautam, Yash, and Kunal have a vision and they are here to revolutionise the path of access to healthcare for people across the nation, and we at Republic will support it in every possible way,” he further said.
In India, more than 77 million adults live with diabetes. Researchers predict that this number will change to 134 million by 2045. High prevalence and the expected rise in lifestyle conditions call for an urgent need for all stakeholders to drive awareness of proper diabetes management and care.
Research also estimates that 57 per cent of cases of diabetes remain undiagnosed. This is highly alarming, as the risk of complications increases when one avoids medication to control blood sugar regularly.
At BeatO, our vision is to support every Indian family to beat diabetes. BeatO gives the power to prevent, control, and reverse diabetes into the hands of millions of Indians. We do this through our smartphone-connected glucometer and app that provides personalised insights and timely guidance by medical experts,” said BeatO co-founder and CEO Gautam Chopra. “This partnership with Republic will help us bring the same in-depth knowledge and expertise in diabetes care, control, and reversal (type 2 diabetes) to empower people across the country to manage the condition.”
“At BeatO, we are working to alleviate the burden of chronic diseases to make sure India beats diabetes. Today when we face unprecedented challenges in the health sector, we at BeatO are taking diabetes management one step further and are now able to offer highly personalized care for type 2 Diabetes reversal – which addresses the root cause of diabetes- insulin resistance and carb intolerance,” added BeatO co-founder and COO Yash Sehgal.

UDF poised to return to power in Kerala, says Manorama-CVoter survey
Massive opinion poll projects shift in Kerala politics ahead of 2026 Assembly elections.
MUMBAI: The winds of change appear to be blowing through Kerala’s political landscape and this time, they seem to favour the United Democratic Front. A comprehensive mega opinion survey conducted by Manorama News in partnership with CVoter projects a potential comeback for the UDF in the upcoming Kerala Legislative Assembly Elections 2026. The survey, covering all 140 constituencies with a massive sample size of nearly 90,000 respondents, predicts the UDF could win between 69 and 81 seats.
The ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) is expected to secure 57 to 69 seats, a significant drop from the 99 seats it won in the 2021 elections. This would mean the LDF losing 30 to 42 of its sitting seats. Meanwhile, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), which drew a blank in 2021, is projected to open its account with 1 to 5 seats.
Region-wise, the UDF is expected to make strong gains in Malabar, winning 25 to 34 out of 48 seats, and in Central Kerala, where it could bag 29 to 33 out of 53 seats. In South Kerala, the LDF is likely to retain an edge with 21 to 25 seats, while the UDF may improve to 12 to 16 seats. The NDA could pick up 1 to 3 seats in the southern region.
The survey was conducted between 14 and 26 March 2026, with additional tracker and snap polls carried out from December 2025 to March 2026. A total of 89,693 respondents participated, ensuring representation across all demographics and social segments.
Manorama News has a strong track record of accuracy, with its previous projections closely matching the actual results of the 2019 and 2024 Lok Sabha elections as well as the 2021 Kerala Assembly polls.
In Kerala’s famously fierce political battles, this survey suggests the pendulum may be swinging back. Whether the final verdict matches these numbers or throws up another surprise, one thing is clear, the 2026 Assembly elections are shaping up to be one of the most keenly watched contests in the state’s history.
