The v13 release is not just a release either, it is also our official announcement of participation in the annual #hacktoberfest. 💻🥨
We know that we're a few days late to the party, but v13 had to get ready before. 😉
This year, the fest is opt-in for projects and we definitely want to opt into taking part in this great event! If you ever thought about starting coding or giving back to your favourite open source repositories, now is the time! Head over to the hacktoberfest website to learn more about it.
We already prepared some issues on our repositories and aim towards opening more issues for starters, but feel free to begin a hunt for improvements and fixes by yourself!
🇮🇳🤝🇷🇺 Strengthening India–Russia Trade
On August 18, we hosted a business meeting at the Moscow Chamber of Commerce and Industry with the FICCI delegation.
✔ Bilateral trade has reached $67B — discussions at Innoprom 2025 aim to expand it to $100B.
✔ Opportunities for India in energy, manufacturing, agriculture, and textiles.
✔ Addressing the trade imbalance and exploring a Rouble–Rupee exchange mechanism.
Recently, I shared India’s perspective on RBK TV after the US imposed a 25% duty on Indian goods:
> “India, as the world’s 4th largest economy, has the right to protect its strategic sovereignty.”
A strong Indian business presence in Moscow reflects our shared commitment to deeper economic cooperation.

Sealing the Partnership in Moscow 🇮🇳🤝🇷🇺
We are pleased to witness a significant milestone in India-Russia relations, as EAM Dr. S. Jaishankar and Russia's Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov signed the Final Protocol after high-level talks in Moscow.
This development further strengthens bilateral cooperation, opening doors for trade, partnerships, and joint ventures across multiple sectors.
At Soltex Group, we view this as a promising step towards expanding our presence in Russia and fostering new opportunities for businesses.
