MUMBAI, India, March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Alumni Association of N.C.E Bengal and the Jadavpur University Mumbai Chapter hosted its 16th National Conference on March 22, 2025, in Mumbai. The event featured a distinguished lineup of speakers and a series of insightful technical sessions, attracting prominent figures from the fields of Business, Academics and Policymaking. Over 150 participants attended the National Conference, hailing from various cities across India and abroad. Among the attendees were industry leaders, business professionals, educationists and Jadavpur University alumni.

The day-long conference, titled ‘India @ 2030: Energy, Economy, Employment,’ examined India’s preparedness to achieve sustainable growth and explored the transformative actions required to realise the nation’s Vision of Viksit Bharat (Developed India) by 2047. The day’s proceedings commenced with the traditional lamp lighting ceremony, led by Prof. Amitava Datta, Pro-Vice-Chancellor of Jadavpur University; Debashis Chatterjee, CEO & Managing Director of LTIMindtree; and Pankaj Kumar, Director of Production at ONGC Ltd.

Commenting on the National Conference, Prof. Amitava Datta said, “Alumni are the brand ambassadors of an institute and are one of its most important stakeholders. It was a wonderful experience for me to attend the national seminar arranged by the Mumbai branch of the Alumni Association of N.C.E Bengal and Jadavpur University on 22nd March. The Conference covered thought-provoking discussions and stimulating interactions on Energy, Economy, and Employment—three key pillars on which our country aspires to move forward in its path of development. It is also a privilege for me to get the opportunity to present the current state of our alma mater before alumni. I believe the bonding between the alumni members and the University will grow further in the coming years.”

Amitava Mukhopadhyay, former Executive Director of Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited and an alumnus of Jadavpur University, chaired the panel titled ‘Energy – Challenges and Opportunities.’ The panel featured a distinguished lineup of experts, including Dipak Bharuka, CEO of JNK India; Suparna Singh, Head of Corporate Strategy (Special Projects) at L&T; and Soumyasree Chakraborty, Senior Principal at BCG. The session concluded with an engaging, interactive Q&A, where the panellists shared valuable insights into India’s energy transition and offered their perspectives on the country’s future trajectory in this critical domain.

“India’s energy transition is at the heart of our journey toward sustainable growth and economic resilience. As we shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy, embrace electric vehicles and green hydrogen, and evolve our hydrocarbon sector towards chemicals and petrochemicals, we must also focus on moving towards a circular economy. The challenges are significant, from diversifying energy sources to overcoming financial barriers, but the opportunity for innovation is immense. By tackling these issues head-on, India can not only meet its climate commitments post-COP-26 but also lead the way in building a cleaner, more sustainable future for generations to come,” Mukhopadhyay said.

Senior journalist, author, and former Jadavpur University alumnus Rajrishi Singhal chaired a thought-provoking panel on the Economy, featuring Anagha Deodhar, Senior Economist at ICICI Bank India, and Indranil Chakraborty, Chief General Manager at the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

The final panel of the day, chaired by Aparup Sengupta, Founder and Chairman of Aaj Global Group, focused on the critical issue of Employment. The panel included Prof. Alakh Sharma, Director of the Institute for Human Development (New Delhi); Sujatha Shivsankar, Associate Partner (HR Transformation) at KPMG India; and Prachi Choudhary, Director of People Consulting at EY.

Subhojit Bose, an alumnus of Jadavpur University, was pivotal in the success of the conference as the Convener of the Marketing Sub-committee. “I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to the Conference Management Committee for organizing a national conference on such a highly relevant topic. It was a valuable learning experience for all participants, especially our young alumni, who had the opportunity to hear from esteemed dignitaries across various fields, sharing their insights and expertise. A special thank you goes to our generous donors. This conference would not have been possible without their unwavering support, and we are deeply grateful for their contributions,” Bose added.

In conjunction with the National Conference, the Mumbai Alumni also organised an Employee Connect, providing alumni with the opportunity to interact with prospective employers seeking talented professionals across various fields and roles at different levels. Boyen Haddin, a globally renowned Executive Search conglomeration, joined this year’s National Conference as the Employee Connect partner.

Prinkal Shah, Director at Boyen Haddin (Mumbai), said, “The National Conference of Jadavpur University Mumbai Alumni Association provided an invaluable platform for our team to engage with leading industry professionals, academicians, policymakers, and aspiring professionals. One of the key highlights was the Employment module, where experts deliberated on the evolving landscape of human resources amid rapid technological disruptions. The discussions underscored the critical need for skilling and reskilling to meet the demands of the future workforce, offering significant insights into talent acquisition and employability trends. Events like these foster meaningful dialogue and collaboration, reinforcing our commitment to bridging the talent gap and supporting India’s progress.”

NEW YORK  , March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ —  Apollo TV, a well-known name in the IPTV streaming space, has issued a formal warning to consumers following a rise in fraudulent websites, unauthorized resellers, and imitation platforms that falsely claim to be affiliated with the brand. As digital piracy and IPTV impersonation schemes continue to evolve, the official Apollo TV company is urging customers to exercise heightened caution when purchasing subscriptions or accessing service portals.

Over the last several weeks, Apollo TV’s monitoring team has identified a growing number of clone websites—designed to closely mimic the brand’s official channels—offering misleading pricing, expired promotional codes, and fake checkout experiences that ultimately leave buyers with no service or support. The announcement, made on March 24, 2025, comes amid a broader investigation into third-party resellers operating outside Apollo TV’s verified partner network.

Clone Sites Impersonating Apollo TV Are Flooding the Market

According to company data, these fraudulent sites have emerged under names deceptively similar to Apollo TV’s original domain. These websites often feature graphics stolen from the official brand, false login portals, or subscription bundles that do not exist.

The company clarified that no resellers or alternate domains are authorized to collect payments, deliver logins, or offer discounts on its behalf. Many fake versions claim unrealistic plans or app store compatibility—services that are not part of Apollo TV’s official offerings in 2025.

Apollo TV Clarifies Official Payment Policy to Prevent Fraud

As of 2025, the official Apollo TV platform accepts Bitcoin exclusively for all subscription purchases. This policy has been clearly outlined across verified checkout channels to ensure a consistent and secure transaction process for customers worldwide. The company stresses that any third-party website or service claiming to offer Apollo TV with credit card, PayPal, or other payment options is not an authorized distributor. In many of these cases, consumers report paying for a subscription and receiving nothing in return—no access credentials, no support, and no refund. To avoid these scams, customers are urged to double-check that they are on the official Apollo TV website before completing any transaction.

Apollo TV Clarifies Official Payment Policy to Prevent Fraud

As part of its 2025 compliance structure, Apollo TV has confirmed that it only accepts Bitcoin as the official payment method for all subscription plans. The use of cryptocurrency allows for secure, encrypted transactions across its global user base while minimizing risks associated with fraud and chargebacks.

Any website claiming to accept credit cards, PayPal, or bank transfers on behalf of Apollo TV should be treated as unauthorized. Numerous victims have reported sending payments via non-approved methods only to receive no product, support, or refund. To ensure safe and verified transactions, customers should complete their orders exclusively through the official Apollo TV payment gateway.

Consumer Reports Highlight Confusion and Lost Payments

Apollo TV’s customer support division has received a sharp increase in support tickets from individuals who mistakenly purchased subscriptions through unauthorized platforms. Most common complaints include non-delivery of login credentials, broken playback functionality, and no access to customer service once payment is processed.

In many cases, buyers have turned to public forums and social platforms to voice concerns after realizing they were misled.

Apollo TV Responds With Legal Action and Cybersecurity Partnerships

In response to the growing threat of brand impersonation, Apollo TV has initiated formal takedown requests against multiple domains misusing its intellectual property. As of March 21, 2025, several clone websites were removed following DMCA actions and reports submitted through hosting providers.

The company is also working with a third-party cybersecurity firm to monitor new domain registrations and IP traffic patterns that may indicate future impersonation attempts.

Where to Safely Purchase the Real Apollo TV

For uninterrupted access and official subscription support, customers should purchase directly through the verified Apollo TV portal. The brand does not advertise through affiliate pages, paid influencers, or external IPTV forums. Any offers that do not originate from the main site should be considered unauthorized.

The official portal provides full onboarding instructions, technical support access, and a secure payment experience that mirrors the terms outlined by Apollo TV’s policy team.

Support for Victims of Unauthorized Sellers

Apollo TV is currently collecting reports from users who may have unknowingly purchased fake services. Affected individuals are encouraged to submit details—such as screenshots, domain URLs, or transaction IDs—through the Apollo TV recovery request page. While refunds cannot be processed for purchases made through fraudulent sites, this data helps fuel active investigations and prevent future scams.

As of March 2025, the company has received over 130 individual reports involving more than a dozen fake IPTV sites.

Ongoing Commitment to Transparency and Consumer Safety

With increasing impersonation across the IPTV sector, Apollo TV is doubling down on its commitment to direct-to-consumer integrity, retail protection, and continuous monitoring. The brand advises all new and returning customers to bookmark the official Apollo TV homepage and to avoid engaging with social DMs, clone apps, or unauthorized discount pages.

The company has reiterated that any changes to policy, pricing, or service access will be communicated directly on its official domain—now the only trusted source for real-time updates, technical help, and safe IPTV access.
