Nestled in the serene surroundings of Siolim in Goa, Oryza by Jaglax Homes is a luxurious gated community featuring five elegantly designed villas that redefine contemporary coastal living. Drawing inspiration from Australian coastal home designs, Oryza harmoniously blends tropical charm with modern sophistication to create an unparalleled living experience.
Oryza’s design ethos is rooted in minimalism, clean lines, and linear forms, creating striking facades that seamlessly integrate with the natural surroundings. The villas adopt an inward-looking ‘L’ shape, ensuring private views of lush gardens and serene pool areas. The use of large cantilevers, vertical louvres, louvered arches, and Georgian bar windows adds a distinctive character to each home.
Each villa spans three bedrooms and an attic across a ground + two-storey layout. The open-plan ground floor enhances connectivity between the living, dining, and kitchen areas, fostering an expansive and inviting ambiance. A standout feature of the living space is the sunken lounge, designed to offer an immersive experience by aligning residents at eye level with the pool and garden, further enhancing unobstructed outdoor views. Double-pitched roofs and expansive windows amplify the sense of spaciousness, bringing in an abundance of natural light and ventilation.
Oryza’s landscape design is an extension of its architectural philosophy, intertwining nature, structure, and interior aesthetics to create a serene sanctuary. Spanning a plot area of approximately 2,900 sqm, the community preserves nearly 60% as open space, encompassing lush gardens, pools, and thoughtfully designed parking areas.
The landscaping employs structured plantations and subtly curved elements to soften the overall design. Features such as niche seating in garden areas, outdoor showers with arch detailing, curved planter boxes at the edge of every pool, rounded pebbles, and strategically placed stepping stones harmonize with the broader architectural vision. These elements infuse the property with a sense of cohesion, tranquility, and understated elegance.
Oryza stands as a testament to refined living, offering a perfect blend of privacy, community, and architectural brilliance. By embracing a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, the community offers an elevated lifestyle enriched by nature and contemporary design. For those seeking an exclusive retreat in Goa, Oryza is an embodiment of luxury, sophistication, and serene coastal charm.

Kaapi Solutions has announced the launch of its new range of professional coffee machines, along with the expansion of its “Assembled in India” initiative. The move highlights the company’s focus on supporting the growing demand for quality coffee solutions across India.
The newly introduced machine portfolio includes MIRA from the House of CIME, Coffee Master 200 and CW01 from Dr Coffee, JL-37 from Jetinno, and My Espressino from the house of Kaapi Solutions. The range features espresso machines, automatic coffee machines, high performance blenders, and smart brewing systems designed for cafés, hotels, restaurants, and corporate offices.
Built with a focus on consistency, durability, and ease of use, these machines aim to help businesses scale their coffee operations with reliable and efficient equipment.
“Our focus is to bring the best coffee machines for cafés and hospitality businesses while ensuring strong service support across India,” said Vikram Khurana, CEO at Kaapi Solutions. “This launch strengthens our position as a trusted partner for coffee machine solutions, barista training, and café consulting.”
As part of this expansion, Kaapi Solutions is also strengthening its “Assembled in India” initiative. Under this, select espresso machines and commercial coffee equipment will be assembled locally, helping improve after-sales service, faster installation, and easier maintenance. It also ensures better availability of spare parts and technical support.
By combining global technology with local assembly, the company aims to offer cost-effective solutions, reduce downtime, and meet the needs of India’s fast-growing coffee market.
Along with equipment, Kaapi Solutions also offers barista training programs, SCA-certified coffee training, and complete café setup consulting, supporting businesses in building and growing their coffee operations.
With this launch and initiative, Kaapi Solutions continues to strengthen its role in shaping India’s coffee ecosystem through a mix of equipment, training, and service support.
As hotels increasingly integrate digital tools to improve efficiency and guest experience, device security and controlled usage have become essential. Addressing this need, Palaniappa Electronics, a solutions expert and implementation partner for Samsung Knox in the hospitality sector, is enabling hotels to deploy secure, purpose-built tablets and smartphones designed exclusively for operational use.
At the reception desk, where speed and accuracy are critical, Samsung Knox allows tablets to be locked down to run only hotel-approved applications such as property management systems, ID scanning, billing, and guest registration. This prevents accidental access to social media, app stores, or system settings, resulting in faster check-ins, reduced errors, and a professional guest-facing interface while ensuring complete data security.
For operations, administration, and housekeeping teams, Knox-enabled smartphones help maintain focus on task management applications, room status updates, maintenance requests, and internal communication tools. By eliminating non-work apps and unnecessary notifications, hotels benefit from improved productivity, quicker response times, and stronger accountability, while also preventing misuse of company-owned devices.
In guest rooms, Samsung Knox-secured tablets function as dedicated hotel management system controllers. Guests can manage lighting, curtains, air conditioning, and in-room services through a simple interface, while the device remains protected from browsing, downloads, or tampering. This safeguards hotel assets, reduces replacement costs, and delivers a consistent, premium digital experience for guests.
Samsung Knox offers enterprise-grade security trusted globally, along with centralised device control and remote management capabilities. Hotels can enforce usage policies, push updates, and lock devices remotely, reducing IT overheads and minimising operational risks. The solution is scalable across single properties as well as multi-hotel portfolios, making it suitable for both independent hotels and large chains.
Palaniappa Electronics has established itself as a trusted name in hospitality-focused electronics, supporting hotels with solutions ranging from small requirements to large-scale deployments. With a strong focus on customer satisfaction and world-class brands, the company continues to help hospitality businesses create secure, efficient, and refined operational environments.
In a hospitality landscape where technology must function seamlessly and securely, Samsung Knox is emerging as a strategic advantage for hotels aiming to balance efficiency, security, and guest satisfaction.
For hotels facing challenges related to device misuse, data security, or operational inefficiencies, Palaniappa Electronics offers live proof-of-concept demonstrations tailored to specific hotel requirements.

Karnataka Tourism had a strong showing at the Travel and Tourism Fair Bengaluru 2026, using the three-day event to put the state's diverse tourism offerings in front of a wide audience of travel trade professionals, industry stakeholders, and visitors.
The Karnataka Tourism pavilion was inaugurated by H.K. Patil, Hon'ble Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs, Legislation, and Tourism, Government of Karnataka, at Vidhana Soudha, Bengaluru. Senior officials representing the department included Dr. Thrilok Chandra K.V., IAS, Secretary of Tourism; Mr. Prashant Shankhinamath, IFS, Managing Director of Jungle Lodges and Resorts Ltd.; Mr. Janardhan H.P., Joint Director of the Department of Tourism; and Smt. Cheluvamba, Deputy Director of the Department of Tourism.
The pavilion drew consistent footfall throughout the event, with the display capturing attention for the breadth of what Karnataka has to offer. Heritage circuits, cultural landmarks, wildlife reserves, scenic landscapes, and emerging segments including wellness, adventure, and experiential tourism were all prominently featured through promotional materials and audio-visual presentations. The depth of the state's tourism product came through clearly, reinforcing Karnataka's positioning as a year-round destination rather than a seasonal one.
The B2B dimension of the participation was equally productive. Karnataka Tourism stakeholders engaged directly with tour operators, travel agents, and destination management companies over the three days, exploring new business opportunities and building on existing partnerships. These interactions gave both sides a clearer picture of evolving travel trends and consumer preferences, which the department expects to translate into stronger collaborations and increased tourist footfall in the months ahead.
Media engagement at the pavilion also generated meaningful coverage, extending the reach of Karnataka's tourism narrative beyond the fair itself.
Karnataka Tourism continues to prioritise sustainable and responsible tourism as it promotes its unique blend of heritage, nature, and modern experiences to travellers across India. TTF Bengaluru 2026 was a useful platform to reinforce that message to exactly the right audience.
