The meeting was attended in the esteemed presence of CA Mahendra Turakhia, Mentor & Advisor to Project SAKSHAM, and Pujya Guruji Devendra Brahmachari ji, Spiritual Guide, highlighting the strong blend of professional expertise and spiritual guidance behind this national movement.

About Project SAKSHAM

The SAKSHAM Mission is a transformative initiative designed to integrate 85 crore citizens and 40 crore informal enterprises into India’s formal economy by 2029. Its cornerstone is to empower individuals, farmers, micro-retailers, artisans, and small businesses–who are currently outside the tax net–by enabling them to seamlessly file their Income Tax Returns (ITR).

Role of Power & Renewable Energy PSUs

During the meeting, Shri Digant Sharma emphasized the pivotal role that Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) under the Ministry of Power and MNRE can play in driving this mission forward.

Some of the proposed initiatives include:

• Establishing SAKSHAM Facilitation Centres in every district and block to support tax filing, financial literacy, and skilling.
• Deploying solar-powered digital ITR kiosks in rural and semi-urban areas.
• Funding large-scale awareness and education campaigns to empower citizens and small businesses.
• Targeted financial literacy and empowerment programs for women, SC/ST, and tribal communities.

PSUs such as NTPC, NHPC, POWERGRID, PFC, REC, NEEPCO, THDC, SJVN, GRID-INDIA, EESL, IREDA, and SECI were highlighted as key partners who can align their CSR funds under Schedule VII of the Companies Act, 2013, to support this national drive.

CA Mahendra Turakhia’s Comment:

“Financial inclusion and tax formalization are not just economic reforms, they are the strongest pillars of nation-building. By bringing every citizen into the formal system, we lay the foundation for a transparent, prosperous, and globally competitive India.”

Pujya Guruji Devendra Brahmachari ji’s Comment:

“True progress is not only material but also spiritual. As a nation, we carry the responsibility to ensure transparency, fairness, and prosperity for all citizens–values that reflect the dharmic duty of inclusive and righteous nation-building.”

A Step Towards a USD 15 Trillion Economy

Speaking after the meeting, Shri Digant Sharma said “Project SAKSHAM is not just about filing ITRs–it is about empowering every citizen, farmer, and small entrepreneur to become an active participant in India’s growth story. With the blessings of our spiritual leaders, the guidance of experts, and the support of government institutions, we are confident of contributing to the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s vision of making India a USD 15 trillion economy by 2029.”

With over 8,000 government websites publishing content—often in hard-to-find scanned PDFs buried deep within complex site structures—vital information frequently remains out of reach, even for search engines. GOIPress solves this problem by aggregating and presenting this data with unmatched speed and clarity. On its launch day, the platform delivers updates in as little as five seconds, with plans to scale to 10 articles per second within the next 30 days.

“GOIPress is built to ensure no piece of government information goes unnoticed,” said Digant Sharma, co-founder of GOIPress. “While many news outlets cover government activities, it’s nearly impossible for any single source to capture everything. Missing even one detail could mean a missed opportunity for a citizen or business. Our mission is to make every detail available within seconds of its release.”

GOIPress stands out with its commitment to transparency and neutrality, offering unbiased summaries of government documents alongside links to original sources. To enhance user experience, the platform will soon introduce an AI assistant accessible via WhatsApp, enabling users to query specific information—like ongoing tenders in Odisha’s education sector—and receive instant, clear summaries with direct links to relevant documents.

A Game-Changer for Market and Business Intelligence

GOIPress is poised to serve a diverse audience, including ministries, bureaucracies, high-net-worth individuals, large businesses, financial institutions, and foreign entities. The platform’s robust features are designed to empower users with unparalleled insights into government operations. Upcoming features include:

• Policy Lifecycle Tracker: Visualizes legislation from proposal to amendments on an interactive timeline.
• Accountability Ledger: Connects official commitments from budgets and speeches to tangible outcomes like tenders and projects.
• Deep Data Discovery: Uses AI to index data typically sought through RTI requests, making it instantly searchable.
• Stakeholder Intelligence Tracker: Aggregates public documents and postings related to specific bureaucrats and political figures.
• Dynamic Governance Timeline: Maps key events like policy shifts and personnel transfers for historical context.
• AI Process Navigator: Simplifies complex government workflows for approvals and compliance.
• Curated Opportunity Feed: Delivers personalized streams of tenders, policy changes, and grants based on user interests.

A Vision Rooted in Public Service

The founders, Digant Sharma and Sandeep Bali, bring a wealth of experience and a shared passion for public welfare to GOIPress. Digant Sharma, a dynamic entrepreneur and social reformer, has driven ventures in agri-tech, oil & gas, environmental technology, retail, brand consulting, and coal trading. His social initiatives include SAKSHAM (Sampoorna Aay Kar Suvidha Mission), Undertrial Welfare Association (UTWA), Gau Mata Awards, Veer Survivors, Stop Farmers Suicide, and cultural projects like Sobhagya Yog Sadhna Foundation and Rashtriya Shree Ramleela Shodh Sansthan.

Sandeep Bali is a seasoned leader in the technology sector with a distinguished background spanning energy, environment, and infrastructure projects in collaboration with both central and state governments. His current focus lies in developing solutions for pollution control and urban flooding, working closely with state authorities to tackle these pressing challenges. Previously, he has held senior leadership roles with renowned organizations such as Euromoney, Lebhar Friedman, The Times Group, Baidyanath, and Reliance.

Bali shares a 22-year friendship with Digant Sharma, dating back to their school days. Beyond their personal bond, they also serve as Directors of the Painganga Foundation, where they jointly contribute to farmer welfare initiatives in association with Torus Innotech.

“GOIPress is more than just a news portal—it serves as a bridge to government PDF documents that are often buried deep within official portals and remain inaccessible to the general public, as they are not indexed by search engines,” said Sandeep Bali. “Our mission is to provide a reliable platform that makes critical information easily accessible, empowering people to find what they need, when they need it.”

The spiritual dimension of the event will be further enhanced by the presence of Swami Avdheshanand Giri, the current Acharya Mahamandaleshwar of Juna Akhara, the largest and most ancient Akhara of Naga Sadhus in India. Swami Giri’s profound wisdom and leadership will add great significance to this occasion.

In addition, several Ministers from both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, as well as key dignitaries from the Vidhan Sabha of Uttar Pradesh, key businessmen and industrialists are expected to attend this momentous cultural celebration with all Lord Ram Devotees across the world.

Mr. Digant Sharma is a dynamic leader with over 19 years of extensive experience across various industries including agriculture, technology, oil and gas, CSR, and social welfare. As Chairman of Torus Innotech Pvt. Ltd., he leads an Agri-Tech firm that serves over 100,000 farmers in Maharashtra, and as Founder and CEO of Small Retailer IPO, he empowers small retailers by facilitating their access to capital markets. His dedication to social causes is reflected in his role as Founder and President of the Undertrial Welfare Association, which provides legal aid to marginalized prisoners in India.

Mr. Sharma’s expertise extends to global energy, where he chairs both Intellipetrol Oil and Gas Pvt. Ltd. and Hydrocarbonix Oil and Gas Pvt. Ltd., focusing on sustainable energy solutions. He also serves as Director of Finance and CSR for the Heartfulness Trilateral Motorbike Expedition and Rashtriya Shree Ramleela Shodh Sansthan, contributing to cultural and spiritual initiatives.

His leadership in innovative projects like Ophi Technologies Pvt. Ltd., a landfill cleaning firm, and Lash Entertainment Pvt. Ltd., a game development company, showcases his entrepreneurial versatility. With a distinguished career spanning across industries and geographies, Mr. Sharma continues to drive impactful change through his leadership in business, social welfare, and sustainability.

Expressing his thoughts on Mr. Sharma’s appointment, Shri Goswami Sushil Ji Maharaj, Founder and Chairman of the organizing committee, stated, “We are honored to welcome Mr. Digant Sharma to our team. His visionary leadership and business acumen will significantly strengthen our efforts in promoting the values of Lord Ram through this grand cultural event.”

Maharishi Bhrigu Pithadhishwar Goswami Sushil Ji Maharaj, the National Convenor of Bhartiya Sarv Dharm Sansad, is a prominent spiritual leader dedicated to promoting peace and harmony through interfaith dialogue. Born on April 28, 1945, in Delhi, he has represented India at global inter-religious conferences in Chicago, London, Spain, Morocco, Indonesia, Bahrain, and at the United Nations Assembly in New York. His efforts in fostering interfaith understanding were recognized when he was appointed to the Global Peace Leaders’ Conference in South Korea and awarded the prestigious ‘Messenger of Peace’ title. An accomplished director, choreographer, and composer, Guruji has been involved in directing national and international cultural programs and has held positions on various government bodies, including the Film Censor Board and Sahitya Kala Parishad, Delhi. For over 55 years, he has worked to spread the message of Shri Ram through Ramleela performances. Under his guidance, the Bhartiya Sarv Dharm Sansad will soon organize an International Inter-Religious Peace Conference in India, continuing the legacy of Swami Vivekananda’s world awakening.

Echoing these sentiments, Shri Maninder Jain, Executive Chairman, remarked, “Mr. Sharma’s diversified experience and deep-rooted commitment to social causes make him the ideal candidate to lead our sponsorship and CSR initiatives. We look forward to achieving great milestones together under his guidance.”

Manindra Kumar Jain, born on May 11, 1954, in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, is a distinguished engineer and social worker. A B.Sc. Engineering graduate from Aligarh Muslim University and a member of the Society of Engineers, London, he has established a successful business empire through M.K.

Francture Brands and its subsidiaries like Adaro Coal Energy and others will offer a wide range of oil and petrochemicals products from Russian producers such as Kirishinefteorgsintez (KINEF) refinery part of Surgutneftegaz (SNG), Gazpromneft (GPN), Tatneft and Novatek. In addition to crude oil, Francture brands can offer a wide range of refined petroleum products such as motor fuels, aromatics, liquid paraffin, diesel fuel, jet fuel, and bitumen. 

Presently Russia is one of the biggest oil suppliers to India and has replaced the likes of Iraq and Saudi Arabia to emerge as India’s largest source of oil imports.

India is the world’s third-largest consumer of crude and depends on imports to meet over 85 per cent of its needs which is exactly what matches the Russian oil Industry. As per the data in January, Iraq was India’s second-biggest source of crude with an average supply volume of 0.92 million barrels per day, followed by Saudi Arabia with 0.77 million barrels per day.

According to Vortexa data, Indian private-sector oil refiners accounted for 47.3 percent of Russian oil volumes imported into India in January alone. While public sector refiners such as Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum do export fuels but most of their production is consumed in India as the demand in India is huge. 

The two private-sector refiners export a sizable part of their production worldwide. Owing to this beneficial business opportunity in India and Russia’s oil and gas business, Francture Brands has collaborated.
