The launch event brought together healthcare leaders, oncology specialists, dignitaries, cancer survivors, and community representatives to celebrate the beginning of a new chapter in comprehensive cancer care focused on innovation, precision, and compassionate treatment.

The event featured ‘Samrohana Sarathi Survivor Program’, a special initiative dedicated to celebrating the courage and resilience of cancer survivors. As part of the Samrohana Sarathi Survivor Program, cancer warriors were honoured for their inspiring journeys and contribution towards creating awareness and hope for others battling cancer.

As part of its commitment towards early detection and community health, KIMS RENOVA Oncology Institute along with Samrohana Cancer Foundation announced the “134 Free Screening Camp Pledge”, inspired by the remarkable legacy of Mr. VVS Laxman, who represented India in 134 Test matches. The initiative aims to conduct 134 free awareness & screening camps for underserved communities, reinforcing the importance of prevention, awareness, and early diagnosis in the fight against cancer.

The inauguration also included a unique and insightful Fireside Chat featuring cricketing legend Mr. VVS Laxman alongside KIMS Hospitals’ leading experts: Dr. Sandeep Nayak (Chairman – Oncology & Executive Director – Surgical Oncology & Robotic Surgery) and Dr. Suresh Babu M C (Director – Medical Oncology). The panel explored the striking similarities between cricket and cancer care, discussing how the necessity for strong partnerships, adapting to changing conditions, and playing a “long innings” perfectly mirror the multidisciplinary approach required to overcome cancer.

The KIMS RENOVA Oncology Institute, in association with KIMS MACS OncoSurgery, represents a comprehensive oncology ecosystem integrating expertise across Surgical Oncology, Robotic Surgery, Medical Oncology, and multidisciplinary cancer care. The collaboration strengthens KIMS Hospitals’ commitment to providing advanced diagnosis, precision treatment, and holistic support for cancer patients.

The programme offers a structured and transparent solution for customers looking to move into any Mana residence by simplifying the buying and selling cycle. It is applicable for homeowners with apartments in Bengaluru, while allowing participation from buyers who may currently be residing in other cities or even overseas. As an ongoing initiative across existing and upcoming Mana projects, it is designed to support quality conscious lifestyle upgrade-driven demand in a more consistent and accessible manner.

Under the initiative, customers can exchange their current property for a new Mana home through an evaluation process that delivers initial value estimates within approximately 48 hours, significantly reducing waiting periods and enabling faster decision-making. The customer gets paid up to 80 percent of the evaluated value even before selling that unit and the balance paid once its sold, which is then adjusted against the booking value of the new Mana residence based on the applicable payment structure. Customers can also secure bookings through post-dated cheques, offering additional flexibility while completing the transaction process.

The process is designed to ensure clarity, efficiency, and timely progression at every stage. It begins with a qualification phase completed within 24 hours, followed by an initial virtual offer issued within the next 48 hours. Property inspection is subsequently scheduled at the seller’s convenience, after which a final offer is presented within a further 48 hours. Upon acceptance, legal due diligence is completed within approximately 30 days, resulting in a structured and time-bound experience for customers.

Commenting on the initiative, Mr. D Kishore Reddy, CMD, Mana Projects, said, “Homebuyers today are looking for smarter and more convenient ways to upgrade their lifestyle, but the process of selling an existing home while booking a new one often creates unnecessary delays and uncertainty. With the Home Exchange Programme, we are simplifying this journey by offering customers a seamless pathway to move into a new Mana home through a faster evaluation and booking process. By enabling value adjustment of the existing home and offering flexible payment options, we are making the transition more practical, transparent, and financially comfortable. This initiative reflects our commitment to creating solutions that make homeownership easier and more customer-centric.”

The programme is especially relevant for working professionals, growing families, and quality conscious lifestyle upgrade-driven buyers, seeking 2, 3, and 4 BHK homes within well-planned residential communities. With offerings across select projects and price segments up to approximately INR 4 crore, the initiative is aligned with the evolving preferences of urban homebuyers looking for larger homes, better amenities, and stronger community infrastructure.

With the Home Exchange Programme, Mana Projects continues to strengthen its customer-first approach by combining thoughtful development with practical solutions that address real homebuyer needs. As the company expands its residential portfolio across Bengaluru, the initiative reflects its larger vision of making every stage of homeownership simpler, more transparent, and more accessible.
