When two daughters-in-law are face-to-face... and the poor husband is caught in the middle:

While the clash between the foreign daughter-in-law and the Indian family brought laughter to the audience in the first season, the story takes a more serious turn in Season 2. Now, the issue is not just about culture, but love, tradition, and rights. On one side is the foreign daughter-in-law's wisdom and modern thinking, while on the other, the Indian daughter-in-law's rights, stubbornness, and village traditions. In the middle is Azad—caught between two daughters-in-law, finding himself in new trouble every day.

The inclusion of Mahamantra on the Academy’s reminder list marks a crucial milestone in its Oscar journey. It signals that the film is very much part of the global awards conversation – one that goes beyond box-office numbers and spectacle, and instead speaks to intellectual depth, spiritual inquiry and universal relevance. For Indian cinema, especially in the documentary feature space, this is a significant and encouraging achievement.

With this entry, Mahamantra steps into a rare and prestigious league of Indian documentaries that have brought global recognition to the country, including The Elephant Whisperers and Period. End of Sentence, both of which went on to win Academy Awards. Malik’s film now carries that legacy forward, reinforcing India’s growing presence in world documentary cinema.

Produced under the banner of Clapstem, Mahamantra reflects the company’s commitment to meaningful, globally resonant storytelling. The film is not a documentary made to chase headlines, but one born out of deep thought, research and quiet conviction. Even before its Indian release, it has begun to leave a strong impact internationally and within the festival circuit. Recently, Mahamantra was showcased at IFFI Goa 2025 under a Special Focus category, where it received remarkable responses from audiences and media alike. The film was widely described as a powerful, visually immersive and profoundly timely piece.

At its heart, Mahamantra – The Great Chant explores the ancient science of mantras and asks a deeply human question: can age-old wisdom guide us through today’s broken, restless and uncertain world? In a time marked by political unrest, wars, emotional imbalance and rising mental health challenges, the film gently bridges ancient knowledge with contemporary scientific thought.

Visually captivating and artistically rich, "MAHAMANTRA" weaves together the cosmic dance of Shiva, the resonance of his Damru, and Krishna's diplomatic efforts to avert conflict.

The documentary examines the sacred, ancient science of mantras, such as Om Namah Shivaya, through the lenses of physics, consciousness studies and spiritual traditions. Its journey is vast and awe-inspiring — moving from the Big Bang to the Mahabharata, from World War II to the era of Oppenheimer — while always remaining rooted in humanity’s shared search for meaning and healing.

With the brilliance of Maestro Bickram Ghosh’s sound, the depth of Shubha Mudgal’s voice, and the insight of Padma Shri Dr. Arvind Lal, the film carries a truly global heartbeat, featuring leading scholars, thinkers and participants from around the world and across belief systems.

Directed by Girish Malik, a filmmaker known for creating cinema that consistently travels internationally, Mahamantra continues his legacy of storytelling that crosses borders. Malik’s work has previously been showcased on prestigious platforms such as the Busan International Film Festival, Netflix and Indian Panorama, and has earned National Awards. With Mahamantra, many consider he has delivered his most ambitious and spiritually resonant work to date.

Speaking about the film’s Oscar entry, Girish Malik shared: “Mahamantra was never made with awards in mind. It was born out of a deep curiosity about sound, consciousness and our collective human journey. To see the film reach the Academy’s reminder list is humbling. It tells me that stories rooted in ancient knowledge can still resonate with a global audience today.”

Set against the backdrop of global unrest and conflict, Mahamantra stands as a quiet yet powerful cinematic experience. It does not shout for attention, but stays with the viewer long after the screen fades to black. Its inclusion on the Academy’s reminder list is a subtle acknowledgment of the power of cinema that dares to pause, reflect and ask deeper questions. Regardless of how the Oscar journey unfolds, Mahamantra – The Great Chant has already secured its place as a rare and meaningful contribution to Indian documentary cinema.

It strengthens India’s position in the global non-fiction space and reminds us why stories matter — that cinema, at its best, can become a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern chaos, offering clarity, hope and connection in uncertain times.

Mahamantra – The Great Chant, produced by Clapstem Productions, is slated for its Indian release in the coming months.

The GRAMMY nomination of Sounds of Kumbha in the Best Global Music Album category at the 68th GRAMMY Awards 2026 marks a defining moment for Indian music. Central to the album’s musical direction is composer and producer Raghav Mehta, whose work plays a significant role in shaping how India’s spiritual sound traditions are translated for a global listening context.

Rather than being created with awards in mind, Sounds of Kumbha was conceived as a sonic documentation of the Mahakumbha, one of the largest spiritual gatherings in the world. The album blends on-ground field recordings, ancient chants, contemporary world music, and immersive binaural sound design to capture the scale, emotion, and energy of the event.

For Raghav, the project was about translating something deeply ancient into a language the global listener could feel. Working closely with creative lead Siddhant Bhatia, and alongside producers such as Jim Kimo West, Ron Korb, Charu Suri, Devraj Sanyal, and Madi Das, the album brought together over fifty artists from across cultures. The focus was on collaboration without hierarchy, allowing diverse musical voices to coexist while staying rooted in shared intent.

Produced in partnership with the Government of Uttar Pradesh, Network18, HistoryTV18, and Universal Music Group, the album has been widely viewed as a form of cultural diplomacy, offering a lived experience of India’s spiritual heritage rather than explaining it.

For Raghav, the recognition signals a broader shift in the global listening landscape. Indian music, he believes, no longer needs to dilute or reframe its cultural roots to be understood internationally. The nomination affirms that work grounded in authenticity and craft can travel widely on its own terms. Shaped by experience across Indian cinema, advertising, and international collaborations, his practice continues to explore how traditional sound worlds can coexist seamlessly with contemporary production languages, an approach that increasingly defines the direction of his work.

As Sounds of Kumbha continues to gain international attention, the moment signals not just a milestone for one album, but a growing global readiness to engage with Indian music as an equal and confident voice in the world’s cultural conversation.

Bhubaneswar (Odisha) [India], December 22 : Anubhav Mohanty, one of the most celebrated faces of Odisha, stands tall as the only superstar in the state to have achieved unparalleled stardom to date, commanding admiration that transcends generations. From his early days as an album sensation to his status as a cinematic icon, Anubhav Mohanty’s journey reflects an extraordinary connection with the people of Odisha—from young children to grandparents alike.

With a career marked by consistency, mass appeal, and record-breaking success, Anubhav Mohanty has delivered some of the biggest blockbusters in Odia cinema, including I Love U, Balunga Toka, Agastya, Karma, Kuhudi, and Chardham. These films not only set box-office benchmarks but also became some of the longest-running films in Odisha's cinema halls, firmly establishing him as the G.O.A.T. of the Odia film industry.

Beyond cinema, Anubhav Mohanty’s influence extends deeply into public life. In 2014, he made history by becoming one of the youngest Members of Parliament in the Rajya Sabha, and later, in 2019, he was elected as a Member of Parliament from Kendrapara (Lok Sabha). His rare ability to command immense popularity both on-screen and in public service has built a fan base driven by trust, admiration, and emotional connection.

Currently, anticipation is at an all-time high as Odisha eagerly awaits its most ambitious and dream projects, Chaki Suna and Raavan. Among them, Raavan is already being hailed as a record-breaking cinematic spectacle, with strong industry buzz suggesting it will redefine box-office standards and become the highest-grossing film in Odia cinema. Adding to the excitement, discussions are underway for a Hindi-dubbed release of Raavan in cinemas nationwide, marking a significant milestone for Odia cinema on the pan-India stage.

On this special occasion, we extend our heartfelt wishes to Anubhav Mohanty—wishing him good health, continued success, and many more milestones ahead.

Happy Birthday to Odisha’s Megastar.

In a moment steeped in nostalgia and renewed purpose, IAS Gaurav Dwivedi, CEO of Prasar Bharati, addressed the press conference of filmmaker Karan Razdan’s Rajni 2.0 on DD National and WAVES OTT, reaffirming the cultural significance and enduring relevance of India’s most iconic social crusader. The evening stood as a stirring tribute to the late Priya Tendulkar, whose fearless portrayal of Rajni reshaped Indian television and awakened a generation to injustice.

Produced by Karan Razdan under the Lord Shiva Entertainment banner, Rajni 2.0 follows Rama Rajni Prabhakarr, who walks in the footsteps of her mother and continues her legacy with unwavering resolve.

The new season boldly confronts urgent, real-world issues — fraudulent builders and RERA challenges, VVIP racism, malpractice in private hospitals, misuse of bypass surgeries, entitlements under Ayushman Bharat and PMJAY, workplace harassment under the POSH Act, chit fund scams, drug de-addiction, and the fast-growing menace of digital arrest frauds targeting senior citizens.

Reflecting on the same, IAS Gaurav Dwivedi, CEO, Prasar Bharati, said, “My takeaway from the promo today was three phrases — women empowerment, consumer rights, and the safety of women in the workplace. Rajani was conceptualised, executed, and broadcast before  the issues entered common language,  which shows how much the show was ahead of its time. It is unfortunate we could not find the episodes to re-telecast such great work, much as we would have loved to. But we searched and found Karan Razdan to bring the show back as Rajni 2.0, and we are elated that Rajni is back!”

Speaking at the event, Karan Razdan shared that the show seeks not just to highlight societal problems but to empower citizens with solutions. “Priya Tendulkar made Rajni a movement. Rajni 2.0 honours her legacy by giving today’s viewers the clarity, courage, and information they need to stand up once again,” he said.

The evening also resonated with heartfelt sentiments from distinguished guests. Anupam Kher spoke warmly of his deep friendship with Karan Razdan, his profound respect for Priya Tendulkar, and the need for socially relevant shows like Rajni 2.0 to find space on the DD National platform and WAVES OTT. Harman Baweja expressed pride in standing behind a show aired on DD National and WAVES, adding that his presence also honoured the cherished bond his father, filmmaker Harry Baweja, shared with both Karan Razdan and Anupam Kher.

Actress Aradhana Sharma spoke with disarming candour, saying that working on the series was not only a powerful learning experience but also an eye-opener that deepened her understanding of the social realities portrayed — something she feels proud to voice both as an individual and as an artiste.

The press conference concluded with an emotional remembrance of Basu Chatterjee and Priya Tendulkar, followed by a celebratory cake-cutting that marked the growing success of Rajni 2.0 — a series that continues to honour a formidable legacy while inspiring India to stand up, speak up, and demand a better tomorrow.

Launching our poster at Film Bazaar is a very special milestone for us.”

DUBAI [UAE] : In a significant achievement solidifying its position in Dubai's competitive luxury wellness landscape, Dynasty Clinic has been honored with two of the industry’s most coveted accolades: the Best Clinic Award and the Best Customer Service Award. These prestigious recognitions celebrate the clinic's visionary mission to redefine the standards of care, trust, and luxury for a global clientele.

The Entrepreneur's Journey

The ascent of Dynasty Clinic is rooted in the inspiring personal journey of its founder. After seven years as a project engineer in the demanding oil and gas industry, Khaled Al Harmoudi made the courageous decision to leave his high-stakes career in 2021 to pursue a more meaningful path.

“I realised I couldn't have a full-time job and run a clinic that requires more than eight hours of my day,” Al Harmoudi explains. This transition from engineering to a full-time clinic owner laid the foundation for a business built on passion and a deep commitment to excellence.

A Hub of Medical Innovation

At the core of Dynasty Clinic’s acclaim is its mastery of cutting-edge services that have earned it international recognition. The clinic specialises in several advanced treatments:

1. Stem Cell Therapy: As a pioneer in regenerative medicine, the clinic harnesses the body's natural healing abilities for powerful anti-ageing, skin rejuvenation, and overall vitality.

2. EBOO Therapy: A globally trending wellness treatment, EBOO (Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation) therapy purifies the blood and revitalises the body at a cellular level, making it a cornerstone of preventative health for clients seeking peak performance and a vibrant appearance.

The Best Clinic and Best Customer Service Awards are more than public recognition; they are a testament to the visionary journey of Khaled Al Harmoudi and the entire Dynasty Clinic team as they continue to set the benchmark for luxury healthcare in Dubai and beyond.

A groundbreaking film capturing the fierce tradition and spirit of Madurai’s goat fighting culture.

New Delhi [India], September 26 : After breaking new ground with Muddy, India’s first-ever mud racing film, visionary filmmaker Dr. Pragabhal now presents JOCKEY, produced by PK7 Studios. This ambitious project marks the first Indian film to depict the traditional Madurai Goat Fight, a centuries-old cultural sport, on the big screen with raw authenticity and cinematic scale.

The director’s inspiration came from witnessing the fierce yet emotional goat fights in Madurai. What captivated him was not only the adrenaline of the sport, but the bond between goats and their handlers – relationships steeped in ritual, respect, and survival. The goats, often treated as family members, are adorned and worshipped before stepping into the arena. This blend of tradition, culture, and human-animal connection forms the core of JOCKEY.

To bring this story alive, Dr. Pragabhal immersed himself in Madurai for nearly three years, researching the culture, observing local practices, and building trust with handlers. For him, authenticity was non-negotiable: the actors had to live, train, and bond with the goats just like real handlers. Goats were purchased and cared for, with the cast feeding, bathing, and spending months alongside them to create genuine emotional connections.

The casting itself was challenging. Actors Yuvan Krishna and Ridhan Krishnas committed to an extraordinary level of preparation, enduring rigorous physical training and facing real risks during practice sessions. Actress Ammu Abhiramiand veteran actor Madhu Sudhan Rao add depth and emotional weight to the narrative, supported by strong performances from Tamil talent. Produced by Prema Krishnadas & C. Devadas

Technically, JOCKEY is mounted with expertise and vision:

• Cinematography by Udhayakumar captures goat fight sequences and night visuals with breathtaking precision.
• Editing by Srikanth, known for handling complex, technically demanding films.
• Music by Sakthi Balaji, blending Tamil folk instruments with modern cinematic scoring.
• Art Direction by Udhayakumar, recreating authentic Madurai settings without artificial sets.

The film also boasts world-class technical support, including sound designer Raja Krishnan (National Award winner) and colorist Ranga, ensuring top-notch post-production.

At its essence, JOCKEY is not merely about goat fights – it is about the spirit of Madurai, the resilience of its people, and the unbreakable bond between man and animal. With intense performances, real-life action, and heartfelt storytelling, the film promises to deliver a cinematic experience unlike anything Indian audiences have seen before.

Speaking about the film, Dr Pragabhal said:

“Goat fighting is culture, emotion, and survival woven into the lives of the people of Madurai. With JOCKEY, we want to share this world with honesty, grit, and intensity. After three years of hard work, I am proud to present this story as a cultural and cinematic milestone.”

With JOCKEY, PK7 Studios and Dr Pragabhal are set to bring a unique, daring, and culturally rich story to national and global audiences.

The occasion celebrated NEXA’s long-standing association with the platform, its pioneering initiatives such as NEXA Spotlight, and the announcement of an upcoming collaboration with designer duo Shantnu & Nikhil.

Spotlight Alumni Showcase: 10 Seasons of Innovation

One of the key highlights of the evening was a special showcase by Spotlight alumni, celebrating 10 seasons of the pioneering initiative by NEXA and Lakmē Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI.

Shantnu & Nikhil Present Velora

Continuing the evening’s focus on design and innovation, Shantnu & Nikhil unveiled a preview of Velora, the designers’ first-ever all-womenswear showcase in India.

Drawing inspiration from the Limited Edition Phantom Blaq by Grand Vitara, they incorporated its enigmatic Phantom Black and rose-gold accents, creating a seamless synergy between automotive innovation and contemporary design.

Inspired by the cinematic allure of the 1930s, an era that immortalised the red-carpet siren, the collection reimagines that spirit through the house codes of structure, drapery, and defiance.

Leadership Perspectives

Partho Banerjee, Senior Executive Officer, Marketing and Sales, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, said:
“NEXA has always stood for innovation, sophistication, and experiences that go beyond mobility. Over the last 10 years, our commitment to fashion and design has shaped NEXA into a cultural brand.

Jaipur, September 18, 2025: In an engaging encounter at the SMS Indoor Stadium, Jaipur Pink Panthers registered a 45-41 victory against the Bengal Warriorz on Thursday. Nitin Kumar and Ali Samadi recorded Super 10s for the hosts to help them climb to fourth place on the points table.

Meanwhile, Devank Dalal notched his seventh straight Super 10 alongside Manprit Pardeep, while Ashish Malik also registered a High Five, but that wasn’t enough for the Season 7 champions to get over the line.

Devank secured the first raid of the game, reaching a milestone by becoming the fastest raider to 400 raid points, achieving the feat in just 38 games. Nitin Kumar opened Jaipur Pink Panthers’ account, but it was the Warriorz captain who was on a roll, giving his team a three-point lead in the early exchanges.

However, the hosts responded quickly with Aashish Kumar’s Super Tackle on Devank, followed by a swift raid from Nitin Kumar to level the score at 6-6. A two-point raid from Ali Samadi then helped the Jaipur Pink Panthers open up a four-point lead, ending a high-octane first quarter at 12-8.

The Pink Panthers slowly began to assert their dominance, inflicting an ALL OUT to extend their lead to six points. Nitin Kumar completed his sixth Super 10 of the season, while Aashish Kumar added four tackles in the first half, giving the two-time champions a convincing 24-18 lead at halftime.

With the Warriorz having only one player on the mat to begin the second half, the hosts inflicted another ALL OUT courtesy a tackle from Aryan Kumar, further extending their lead to nine points. Ali Samadi continued to make his presence felt on the offensive end as well, keeping a seven-point lead intact despite Bengal Warriorz finding some momentum. 

Manprit Pardeep and Devank momentarily cut the deficit down to six points before a Super Tackle from Nitin Rawal ensured Jaipur Pink Panthers do not get complacent. Ashish Malik contributed in defence for the Warriorz, tackling Nitin Kumar on a Do-Or-Die raid to keep his side within striking distance with under ten minutes to go.

Bengal Warriorz found a glimmer of hope as Devank Dalal completed another Super 10 and Ashish Malik recorded a High Five to inflict an ALL OUT on the Jaipur Pink Panthers, making it a three-point game with under five minutes to play.

With the game on the line, the Iranian duo for Jaipur Pink Panthers shut the door on any possibility of a comeback. First, Reza Mirbagheri tackled Devank, and then Ali Samadi followed it up with a sensational four-point Super Raid, also completing his maiden Super 10 in the process. That in the end proved to be the difference between the two sides in this high-scoring thriller as Jaipur Pink Panthers clinched a 45-41 victory.

Surat (Gujarat) [India], August 25 : Ganesh Chaturthi is more than a festival of devotion-it’s a celebration of new beginnings, creativity, and prosperity. As homes across India light up with festivities and fashion comes alive with vibrant ensembles, one brand has been redefining how fabrics are chosen, styled, and cherished-FABONIQUE.

Founded by Nency Ghori, with over 40 years of legacy in her family’s textile business, Fabonique has emerged as a trusted name for women, boutique owners, fashion designers, and tailors who seek premium fabrics without the burden of bulk buying. In just one year, the brand has achieved remarkable growth, driven by its focus on material quality, fair pricing, and always-trending designs.

A Festival of Fabrics and Freshness

Just as Ganesh Chaturthi welcomes innovation in rituals with deep respect for tradition, Fabonique brings the same balance to the fabric world. Whether it’s timeless weaves or modern prints, the brand ensures every creator-from a boutique designer to a home-based entrepreneur-finds fabrics that inspire confidence.

This season, Fabonique has introduced:

 Combo Fabrics – curated sets for designers and boutiques to mix, match, and create effortlessly.
 Position Print Fabrics – one of the most demanded styles, perfect for festive outfits with bold, statement looks.
 Viscose Print Fabrics – elegant, breathable, and ideal for ethnic as well as Indo-western wear.

These collections reflect not just fashion trends but the festive spirit that defines occasions like Ganesh Chaturthi.

Why FABONIQUE Stands Apart

The fabric industry often limits smaller creators with high MOQs, lack of trendy options, and inconsistent quality. Fabonique was born to solve this very problem. With no minimum order quantity (MOQ) and fabrics starting from just 1 meter, the brand empowers every buyer-whether they’re testing a design or producing an entire collection.

Here’s what makes Fabonique the go-to choice this festive season:

•  Affordable: Prices starting from ₹150 per meter
•  Trendy & Fast Updating: 30 new fabrics every month (15 regular + 15 new category)
•  Reliable: Direct from manufacturer with consistent quality
•  Accessible: Fabrics for every occasion-weddings, festivals, casual wear, western, and partywear
•  Supportive: Just a call away for guidance and fabric support

Fabrics that Celebrate Festivity

Ganesh Chaturthi is a time when families dress in their best, and designers search for fabrics that not only look good but also feel festive. Fabonique’s lineup offers exactly that:

• Embroidered Fabrics – intricate detailing for bridal and festive outfits
• Printed & Pattern-Based Fabrics – from contemporary motifs to cultural patterns
• Trend-Based Fabrics – keeping creators ahead of the fashion curve
• Occasion-Based Fabrics – carefully selected for weddings, festivals, parties, and daywear

Whether it’s a lehenga, saree, dupatta, or gown, Fabonique ensures the material resonates with both tradition and trend.

From One Meter to Many Dreams

For Nency Ghori, Fabonique is more than a business-it’s a movement to support women and creators. By offering flexibility, trust, and inspiration, Fabonique has become a partner in growth for boutique owners, tailors, and upcoming designers.

This Ganesh Chaturthi, as we pray for new beginnings, Fabonique continues to stand with creators who want to start small, grow consistently, and craft something extraordinary.

Celebrate with Fabonique

As Lord Ganesha is welcomed with devotion and grandeur, let your festive collection reflect the same spirit. With Fabonique’s fabrics-crafted for comfort, designed for trends, and priced for growth-you don’t just buy fabric, you buy possibility.

New Delhi [India] : The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE Main & Advanced) is one of the most competitive and challenging exams in India, opening the doors to prestigious institutions like the IITs, NITs, and IIITs. Each year, over 1.5 million studentscompete in JEE, yet only a small fraction secure top ranks. What often makes the difference is not just talent—but the right strategy, consistent practice, and scientific preparation.

This is where ExamPraxis comes in—a next-generation JEE exam practice platform that democratizes access to high-quality JEE preparation.

Why Traditional Coaching Falls Short

Conventional coaching models are often expensive, rigid, and primarily focused on top-performing students, leaving a large segment of aspirants underserved—especially those who require conceptual strengthening, personalized feedback, and stress-free learning. Students from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, in particular, face challenges due to limited access and high costs.

ExamPraxis breaks this barrier by offering a complete, student-first learning model that is affordable (just ₹499/month), scientifically structured, and completely online—making it accessible to all.

New Delhi [India], August 5 : Walk into any great restaurant, and you’ll notice everything feels intentional—lights, colors, music. But one thing often gets overlooked: the chair.

We’ve heard it before. “We invested in décor and menu, but the chairs didn’t last.” Or, “Guests loved the vibe but didn’t stay long.”

That’s where Best of Exports comes in. We didn’t aim to dominate—we just wanted to make honest, durable furniture. Chairs people enjoy, from starters to dessert.

From small Jodhpur orders to trusted partnerships across India—we’ve grown by listening, delivering, and never compromising on comfort.

1. Starting from a 150 sq. ft. Room

This wasn’t one of those startup stories with angel investors and glossy websites.

We began in a room the size of a bedroom. One small machine. No employees. Just grit and a lot of hope.

The early days were raw. We accepted whatever work came in. Sometimes it was two chairs, sometimes just a stool. There were delays. Wrong finishes. Deliveries done on a scooter. But we didn’t stop.

One machine became two. We hired one carpenter. Then two. We couldn’t afford to waste wood or time. Every mistake hurt. But every order taught us something.

That small room slowly turned into a workshop. It wasn’t fancy, but it was real. The noise of cutting, the smell of polish, the satisfaction of seeing something finished — that became our rhythm.

Today, we have a 1.15 lakh square foot factory. But we haven’t forgotten that room. It’s the reason we don’t take shortcuts. The reason we still double-check everything before it leaves.

It’s where we learned to build furniture. And also trust.

2. Roller Coaster Ride in the Early Years

It wasn’t always smooth. At one point, we nearly quit. Orders were low, but costs—rent, salaries, bills—kept piling up. Survival mode kicked in. We even thought of starting a side consultancy to stay afloat.

We said yes to everything, took on unfamiliar projects, and just kept going. Slowly, things shifted—a few early payments, one big order—and that was enough. That tough phase made us sharper, humbler, and taught us resilience.

3. Slow Growth, Steady Vision

We never had a five-year plan on the wall.

What we had was consistency. We showed up daily. No shortcuts—just steady effort.

Extra savings meant a new machine. More work meant hiring help. We weren’t chasing explosions, we were building something real.

Clients came back—and brought others. That’s when we realised growth lives in trust.

We refined. Created systems. Missed a few times. Learned fast.

Some months were slow. Others chaotic. But we moved forward—always.

And over time, people noticed.

4. The Turning Point: Long Boat Brewery, Bangalore

Our breakthrough came with Long Boat Brewery in Bangalore. They needed strong, stylish wooden furniture for a busy space. We took the challenge, despite never doing something like it before.

It was tough—tight deadlines, revisions—but the outcome was worth it. Guests loved it. That one project opened Bangalore to us.

It built trust, not through ads, but real results. Long Boat gave us confidence. Proof that we could truly deliver.

5. Our First Architect Partner: Mr. Nilay Patalia

It began with a friend’s call from Chennai — “Talk to this architect.” That was five years ago. We met Mr. Nilay Patalia with no expectations, just a simple chat. But something clicked.

Our first project was small, but the connection was real. One project led to many. Today, he’s more than a client — he’s a creative partner. Now, we’re building one of India’s largest breweries together. All from one referral.

6.  What Restaurant Owners Actually Want

Looks matter. But after years in this industry, we learned restaurant owners want more—they want peace of mind.

Chairs that last. Finishes that don’t peel. Real timelines, clear updates, and someone who answers the phone post-delivery.

So we focused on the details: stronger joints, better polish, clean welds, quality checks. It worked. Fewer delays, better feedback. Clients now say, “This was the one part we didn’t have to worry about.

7. The Facility: Built for Scale, Backed by People

People are often surprised when they visit our factory.

It’s big—1.15 lakh square feet. Machines humming. Wood stacked. Workstations in line. But what truly matters is the people inside.

Over 90 team members—carpenters, welders, polishers, packers. Some old hands, some new energy.

We train not just in tools, but in care.

Yes, we’ve upgraded—CNCs, spray booths, better logistics.

Still, every piece gets a human touch.

From 20-seater cafés to 500-table breweries, our attention stays the same.

8. Why Architects and Designers Recommend BOE

We love working with architects—not for the scale, but for the thought behind every detail. They know what they want and value collaboration. We listen, adapt, and iterate to match their vision, even when it’s unconventional.

Our flexible factory and skilled team bring custom ideas to life. We understand their pressures and aim to make one part of their job easier.

That’s why designers trust us—not for perfection, but reliability.

9. From Local Maker to National Leader

We never set out to be a national name—just to make great furniture and treat people right. One project led to another, one city at a time.

No flashy ads, just honest work, clear communication, and lasting relationships.

Today, we serve clients across India, but at heart, we’re still the same team with the same values.

10. Our Products in Restaurant Furniture

 At Best of Exports, we don’t just make furniture — we craft complete dining experiences.
Over time, our range has grown to meet the unique needs of every restaurant, from quaint cafés to grand fine-dining venues.
Here’s a quick look at what we offer:

1. Restaurant Chairs
   From timeless wood to sleek metal designs, our chairs balance comfort and style. Choose from upholstered, cane-back, or custom options.
2. Restaurant Tables
   Built for beauty and endurance, our tables suit everything from small two-tops to large banquet setups.
3. Restaurant Booths
   Custom booths designed for comfort and privacy, using materials like fabric, leatherette, or bespoke finishes.
4. Restaurant Sofas
   Perfect for lounge-style dining, our sofas combine luxury and lasting durability.
5. Outdoor Restaurant Furniture
   Weather-resistant and elegant — explore stackable chairs, patio sets, and foldable tables built to perform outdoors year-round.

Conclusion – Built to Last, Trusted Nationwide

From humble beginnings in a small Jodhpur room to becoming India’s No.1 restaurant furniture manufacturer, Best of Exports has always prioritized quality, trust, and relationships. Every chair, table, or booth we create carries our commitment to craftsmanship and comfort. We’re not just furnishing spaces — we’re helping restaurants build unforgettable experiences. And this is just the beginning. Let’s design something great, together.

Early beta users report 40 % faster interview call-backs; the company opens public sign-ups today with a free seven-day trial.

Bangalore (Karnataka) [India] : When Ananya Iyer lost her job as a marketing associate in last year’s round of tech layoffs, she faced the familiar whirl of résumé rewrites, online courses and marathon interview prep. “It felt like a full-time job just managing my job search,” she recalls. Two months later, she joined the closed beta of Skillsurger.com, an AI-powered career agent that promised to diagnose her skill gaps, redesign her CV, and rehearse interviews—using the same large-language-model technology popularised by ChatGPT. Within three weeks, she had two offers on the table, one at a 22 % salary bump.

Stories like Iyer’s are beginning to surface across LinkedIn and Reddit, and they underpin the quiet arrival of Skillsurger’s public launch this week. Founded by Apeksha Gupta, a Bengaluru-based tech professional, the start-up sits at the junction of generative AI and professional development—an intersection investors have tipped as the next billion-dollar SaaS frontier.

“A CV is just data until someone contextualises it,” says Gupta.
“Our agent learns who you are, where you want to go, then reverse-engineers the fastest path.”

From Generic Job Boards to Precision Career Maps

Unlike conventional job portals, Skillsurger begins with a 30-second profile scan. Users upload a résumé; the platform’s proprietary AI technology converts it to a web profile, which can be enhanced based on career path and job of interest or AI-suggested.

That gap analysis powers four signature tools:

1. AI-Tailored Career Paths – curated role suggestions ranked by salary, market demand and skills overlap.
2. Top-Job Matches – a real-time feed of openings filtered for fit, location flexibility and growth trajectory.
3. CV Auto-Upgrade – one-click résumé rewrites that embed relevant keywords for Applicant Tracking Systems.
4. Learning Paths + Courses – bite-sized course playlists (many free) drawn from Coursera, Udemy and company-specific training academies.
5. AI Mock Interviews – role-specific practice sessions with instant feedback on content, tone and confidence cues.

During its last-month invite-only beta, the platform attracted 5,000 users—largely mid-career professionals in tech, finance and product management. According to internal telemetry shared with reporters, the median user secured an interview 14 days sooner than the control cohort that relied on conventional job-board alerts.

Why Now?

Industry analysts say the timing is ripe. A recent Deloitte study notes that 63% of professionals plan to change jobs in 2024–25, yet only 11% feel “well equipped” for the search. Meanwhile, corporate L&D budgets continue to fragment across MOOCs, bootcamps and internal academies, leaving workers to stitch together their own upskilling roadmaps.

“We’re seeing the unbundling of the career ladder,” explains Dr. Ritu Kataria, Future-of-Work researcher
“Tools that recombine discovery, learning and placement into a single flow will dominate the next cycle.”

A Business Model that Starts Free—But Values Commitment

Skillsurger adopts a freemium strategy: a seven-day unrestricted trial, then ₹ 860 per month (≈ $10) for unlimited job matches, CV rewrites and interview sessions. For enterprise clients, the company quietly rolled out a SaaS tier that charges per employee, already piloted by two Indian IT services firms looking to streamline internal mobility.

Gupta insists the pricing is intentional: “We wanted to be cheaper than a single session with a human career coach, yet sticky enough that users commit to their growth.”

Early Success and What’s Next

• 40 % reduction in average time-to-interview among beta cohort
• 98 % CV rewrite satisfaction (in-app NPS survey)
• First enterprise deal signed in Q2 2025, covering 1200 learners

Next on the roadmap: multi-lingual support (Hindi, etc) and a Chrome extension that grades job descriptions in-line and flags instant fit scores.

For professionals reconsidering their next move—or companies seeking to future-proof their workforce—Skillsurger may be worth a test-drive. The team is capping its discounted plan at the end of the month; after that, pricing is expected to rise.

Prospective users can explore the full feature set at skillsurger.com, where sign-up takes less than a minute and no credit card is required for the initial trial. If the platform delivers on its early promise, scrolling LinkedIn might feel a little less daunting—and that following interview a lot more attainable.

A first trip to Europe can be a thrilling experience, but planning should be thorough when it comes to navigating Schengen visa procedures. The Schengen area consists of 29 European countries that allow you to travel freely across borders with a single visa.

However, to enjoy this experience, you need to understand the application process and gather the right documents like Schengen travel insurance to meet the key requirements.

From the benefits of having a Schengen visa to step-by-step application guidance and common mistakes to avoid, this guide covers everything a first-time traveller should know. Keep reading for a detailed insight.

What are the Benefits of a Schengen Visa?

A Schengen visa offers a wide range of advantages for travellers, such as:

1.Access to 29 European Countries

With a single visa, you can travel freely across 29 Schengen areas without needing multiple visas. This makes multi-country trips across Europe smooth and hassle-free.

2.Easy Visa Process

Instead of applying for separate visas for each destination, the Schengen visa allows access to multiple countries through a single application—saving time, money, and paperwork.

3.Borderless Travel Experience

Once you enter the Schengen zone, you can move across countries without border checks, making it easy to explore iconic cities, attend events, or take weekend getaways.

4.Affordable, Quality Education and Travel

Europe is home to world-class institutions and attractive travel options, often at lower costs compared to other regions. The Schengen visa helps unlock these experiences without visa restrictions.

5.Increased Access to Scholarships and Funding

If you are eligible for grants or scholarships in Europe, having a Schengen visa can help you apply to multiple institutions across different countries more easily.

How to Apply for a Schengen Visa from India?

The following steps are for a Schengen visa from India:

Step 1: Choose Your Main Destination and Embassy

Select the country you will visit—either where you will stay the longest or enter first. Apply through its consulate in India, or through the consulate representing it if no direct mission is available.

Step 2: Confirm the Visa Type

Go to the official embassy website or VFS Global to check if a visa is required and to confirm the correct visa type based on your travel purpose.

Step 3: Complete the Application Form

Fill out the Schengen visa application online, selecting the right category—tourism, business, study, etc. Print the completed form for submission.

Step 4: Schedule Your Appointment

Book your appointment through VFS Global or the embassy portal. This is when you will submit documents and complete your biometric enrolment.

Step 5: Attend the Visa Appointment

On the appointment day, visit the application centre to hand in your documents, provide biometric data, and pay the visa fee. After submission, your application will be reviewed.

What are the Documents Required for Applying for a Schengen Visa?

When applying for a Schengen visa, make sure you gather the following essential documents:

• A fully completed and signed visa application form.
• Two recent colour photographs (35×45 mm), showing 70–80% of your face clearly.
• A valid passport with at least two blank pages, which should remain valid for at least three months beyond your intended return date. If you have an old, expired, or cancelled passport, bring that as well.
• Confirmed bookings for flights and accommodation during your stay.
• Travel insurance that meets Schengen requirements, with a minimum medical cover of €30,000  (₹30,37,440).
• Bank statements from the past six months to prove that you have adequate funds to cover your expenses during the trip.
• A cover letter outlining the reason for your visit and your travel plans.
• Proof of payment for the applicable visa fee.

Is it Compulsory for Schengen Travellers to Carry Travel Insurance?

Yes, carrying valid travel insurance is mandatory when applying for a Schengen visa. Travellers applying for a single or double-entry visa must provide proof of sufficient travel insurance that covers emergency medical treatment, hospital care, and repatriation.

The policy must offer minimum coverage of €30,000 and remain valid across all Schengen countries for the full duration of the visit. For those applying for a multiple-entry Schengen visa, proof of travel insurance is required at the time of application—specifically for the first intended trip.

Applicants must also confirm in writing, via the application form, that they will maintain valid insurance for any future visits.

What Mistakes to Avoid as a First-Time Schengen Traveller?

Applying for a Schengen visa can be a smooth process if handled correctly. Here are the mistakes you must avoid:

1.Submitting an Incorrect Application

Errors or omissions in the application form are one of the leading causes of rejection. Inaccurate details, unanswered questions, or information that does not match supporting documents raise doubts. Always fill out the form truthfully, follow the instructions, and double-check before submitting.

2.Not Providing Adequate Financial Proof

Applicants must show they have sufficient funds to cover their trip. Failure to submit recent bank statements, salary slips, or sponsorship letters can result in denial. Ensure your documents reflect the minimum daily financial requirement based on your itinerary.

3.Missing a Detailed Travel Plan

A vague itinerary can weaken your application. Provide confirmed flight bookings, hotel reservations, and a day-by-day travel plan. A clear schedule demonstrates your purpose and intent to return home.

4.Lack of Valid Travel Insurance

Your Schengen travel insurance must meet the €30,000 coverage requirement and provide coverage for medical emergencies and repatriation. Submitting expired or non-compliant insurance can lead to rejection. Make sure your travel insurance policy is valid for the entire duration.

5.Inadequate Proof of Accommodation

Unverifiable or fake bookings raise red flags. Submit genuine, preferably refundable hotel reservations with complete details, including name, address, contact information, and stay dates.

6.Unclear Purpose of Visit

A poorly defined reason for travel, or documents that do not support your stated purpose, may result in refusal. Include a detailed cover letter, supporting documents (like an invitation or event itinerary), and ensure everything aligns with your stated reason for visiting.

7.Missing or Outdated Supporting Documents

Submitting incomplete sets of documents can cause delays or outright rejection. Create a checklist and ensure everything is up to date and in line with embassy requirements.

8.Passport Not Meeting Requirements

If your passport is expired, damaged, or lacks two blank pages, your application will likely be rejected. Your passport should be valid for a minimum of three months after your intended departure from the Schengen zone.

9.Applying to the Wrong Embassy

You are required to submit your visa application to the embassy or consulate of the country where you intend to spend the majority of your stay. Misapplying can lead to immediate refusal.

10. Ignoring Visa Processing Time

One frequent error is delaying the visa application until the last moment. Processing may take several weeks. Apply at least 3 to 6 weeks before your travel date to avoid delays and allow for any additional documentation requests.

Travelling to the Schengen area for the first time can be a smooth experience if you plan ahead, submit accurate documents, and follow the visa process carefully. One of the most important requirements is valid Schengen travel insurance, which supports your visa application and safeguards you in case of medical emergencies. With the right preparation, you will be ready to explore Europe in peace of mind.

India’s pop culture just got a refresh. Raw, real, and rooted. Welcome to The Mish Mash Podcast, hosted by the effortlessly charming Manish Mishra, where no topic is off-limits and no guest is too filtered. In this unmissable episode, we meet a man who’s made the whole country laugh (and sometimes cry) — the ever-spontaneous Rajpal Yadav.

Whether it’s Chup Chup Ke or Phir Hera Pheri, Rajpal is that rare actor whose every scene feels lived, not performed. But beneath the laughs is a story powered by instinct, humility, and an unwavering belief in the heart.

From Soil to Spotlight

Rajpal’s journey didn’t start with scripts and spotlights. It began in Shahjahanpur, helping in the fields, soaking up the village’s quiet wisdom.

“Chhapphar akele nahin chhadhaya jaata,” he recalls, because life, like theatre, is always collaborative.

From school plays to the prestigious National School of Drama, his passion was never mapped out, just felt.

“Maine hamesha spontaneous life jee hai… animal instinct ke saath.”

That instinct carried him from Shahjahanpur to Lucknow, to Delhi’s National School of Drama, and eventually to Mumbai — not to become a hero, but to honour his voice.

Kabaddi, National School of Drama, and a Bhediya Move

In one of the episode’s most hilarious moments, Rajpal shares a story from his drama school days — a kabaddi match where the smallest guy (him) leapt like a bhediya onto a much larger opponent to win the game.

“Main bhediye ki tarah jump kar gaya… aur match jeeta diya.”

That same spontaneous courage, part play, part poetry, defines his work even today.

Characters You Can’t Forget Because They Feel Real

From the superstitious Chhota Pandit to the tender Raja in Chup Chup Ke or the insecure husband in Main, Meri Patni Aur Woh, his characters stay with us. Why?

“Script padhta hoon, par mehsoos zyada karta hoon.”

He doesn’t act — he becomes. Every twitch, every laugh, every silence is pure instinct. And that’s why audiences don’t just enjoy his characters — they believe them.

Legacy of Laughter, Lessons of Life

Rajpal reflects on his personal journey — losing his guru, his father, and finding strength in groundedness. He shares a turning point: a heated airport moment where his wife calmly reminded him,

“Jab log jaane lage to chid kyun hone lagi?”

Fame, he learned, is nothing without humility.

Politics, Philosophy and Papa-Preneurship

From dabbling in politics to dodging digital life (his wife handles all things Instagram), Rajpal opens up about navigating life on his own terms. He even jokes that despite acting in over 200 films, he still doesn’t know how to transfer money online.

When asked about the Bollywood versus South cinema debate, he simply says,

“It’s all Indian cinema — hum sab milke banate hain.”

Why The Mish Mash Matters

This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a chai session mid-chaos. A story told not with vanity, but vulnerability. With Rajpal, you don’t just hear about cinema — you feel the mitti it’s made from.

So plug in. Laugh. Reflect. And maybe, learn what it really means to act with your whole being.

Because as Rajpal says,

“Main kuch ban ke nahi aaya tha. Bas apne dil ki baat maanta gaya… aur log muskurate gaye.”

New Delhi / New York, July 2025 : In a proud moment for India and a defining one for global pageantry, Akshita Pinapaty has become the first Indian to be crowned Miss Teen Universal, triumphing over contestants from 17 countries. Her victory is not just a testament to personal achievement, but a powerful representation of Indian culture, youth leadership, and progressive femininity on the international stage.

At just 19, Akshita has emerged as one of the most dynamic faces of Gen Z—an individual who blends intellect with influence, style with substance, and ambition with empathy. Her journey from Bengaluru to New York, from school stages to global crowns, is nothing short of inspiring.

Crowned with Purpose

Akshita’s triumph at Miss Teen Universal 2025 signals a shift in the way pageantry is perceived. For her, the crown is not about glamour—it’s about amplifying impact. Throughout her journey, she has used her voice to spotlight critical global issues: feminism, child welfare, poverty alleviation, and access to education.

> “This win is bigger than me—it’s for every girl who dreams beyond limitations and leads with compassion,” said Akshita. “The platform of pageantry gave me a global voice, and I’m determined to use it to speak up for change.”

Her poise, authenticity, and unwavering commitment to diversity and inclusion have earned her praise from across the world. She’s not just a queen—she’s a changemaker.

Academic Excellence at FIT, New York

Currently pursuing her degree at the globally recognized Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York, Akshita represents the perfect blend of academia and advocacy. As both an Orientation Leader and Senator for the Cosmetics and Fragrance Marketing Department, she plays an active role in student leadership, inclusion initiatives, and institutional strategy.

Her role at FIT exemplifies her ability to lead in high-pressure environments while maintaining academic integrity and professional presence. She is admired for her ability to represent her culture with pride, while engaging meaningfully with international communities.

> “Education has been my foundation—it gives me clarity, discipline, and the confidence to build beyond myself,” Akshita reflected.

Driving Sustainability in Fashion

Akshita is also making waves in the world of sustainable fashion. Earlier this year, she conceptualized and led a week-long certification program on ethical fashion practices, drawing participation from students, independent designers, and sustainability activists.

The program focused on artisan empowerment, eco-conscious manufacturing, and circular economy models. Akshita’s belief that fashion should be a platform for equity and environmental justice sets her apart as a forward-thinking advocate in a fast-changing industry.

-AnBan Soulmates Mein crosses 7 million views

Mumbai, July 22, 2025 : AnBan Soulmates Mein, the deeply human and emotionally raw film by writer-director Tapan Ghosh, has amassed over 7 million views on YouTube. But beyond its growing digital reach, what’s capturing attention is the unconventional and empowering way the film was made – blending storytelling with social purpose.

At the heart of Ghosh’s process is a unique “Earn While You Learn” model, where aspiring actors are given paid opportunities to work and learn on live film sets. Inspired by his earlier work in engineering and vocational training at Tema India and Leo Engineering Works, Ghosh has brought the same real-world, hands-on learning framework into the world of cinema.

“Some of these young talents came to us after exhausting their families’ savings on acting schools,” Ghosh recalls. “They worked hard, took risks, and gave everything emotionally. Many returned disillusioned from the TV industry – and here, we tried to build something that gave them dignity and momentum again.”

AnBan itself was shot without rigid storyboarding or rehearsals. Actors improvised freely, drawing from personal memories and raw emotions. In one pivotal scene, a first-time actress broke down, deviating from the script entirely – the moment was so powerful, Ghosh kept it in the final cut. “That’s when you realise storytelling doesn’t need polish – it needs truth,” he says.

The process mirrors the iterative, collaborative approach Ghosh once applied in engineering design. “In both worlds, we experiment, learn, and grow together,” he adds. “This is not about me; it’s about building a platform that empowers people through creation.”

As the film continues to attract organic viewership, Ghosh is opening his doors to anyone curious about the process. “We’re happy to share what we’ve built – whether you’re an aspiring actor, filmmaker, or just someone who believes in real, honest stories,” he says.

With AnBan Soulmates Mein, Tapan Ghosh has proven that storytelling can be a force not just for art – but for upliftment, learning, and authentic emotional connection.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India] : Ishaara, a restaurant known for its authentic Indian cuisine, brings back the much-loved Undivided Punjab pop-up menu to Mumbai.  After winning hearts in Pune, Bangalore, Lucknow, and Ahmedabad, this special menu, a tribute to the rich, pre-partition food traditions of Punjab,  makes its final stop at Ishaara, Palladium Mall, starting 16th July 2025.

Curated by Chef Sherry Mehta and inspired by a candid conversation with Bellona Hospitality’s MD, Prashant Issar, the menu was born from a shared nostalgia. As they reminisced about their Punjabi roots, they realized how many traditional dishes had faded from memory. This sparked the idea to revive those long-lost recipes and celebrate the rich, cross-cultural heritage of Punjab.

The undivided Punjab menu brings to life forgotten flavours from the kitchens of pre-partition cities like Lahore, Amritsar, and Rawalpindi. The dishes include authentic curries, pulav, kebabs, and breads from before the tandoor as we know it. Influenced by Greek, Persian, Moorish, and British cuisines, these dishes tell stories of a Punjab that once knew no borders.

Prashant Issar, Managing Director of Bellona Hospitality, shared, “Undivided Punjab began as a deeply personal idea, a nostalgic conversation about lost recipes and fading culinary memories. To see it resonate with people across cities has been incredibly moving. This is the final showcase in Mumbai, an ode to the recipes long lost in time across the borders.” 

“This journey has been deeply personal. With every dish, I’ve tried to honour the forgotten kitchens and stories of a land that once thrived in unity. Undivided Punjab is more than a menu; it’s a memory, a legacy, and a tribute to generations before us. Bringing it to Mumbai one last time feels like coming home,” says Chef Sherry Mehta.

Back in Mumbai for its final run, this pop-up menu brings back forgotten recipes crafted with age-old techniques, slow-cooked in clay pots, seasoned with hand-ground spices, and made using local ingredients. Hosted at Ishaara, an award-winning restaurant recognized by the Times Food & Nightlife Awards and NDTV, this is a last chance to experience the flavours that have captured hearts across the country.

About Bellona Hospitality :
Bellona Hospitality, a subsidiary of The Phoenix Mills Ltd., operates 39 restaurants across Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, and Lucknow.

Anupama Prakash’s 2025: Acting Breakthroughs and a Pan-Indian Production Vision

New Delhi [India] : Actor and producer Anupama Prakash is stepping into a new cinematic territory with her Telugu debut, Mr. Reddy, directed by Venkat Reddy and produced by TNR and Rajeev Reddy. The film, set to hit theatres on 18 July 2025, marks a significant milestone in her career as she takes center stage in Tollywood for the very first time.

Known for her layered performances and effortless screen presence, Anupama’s journey has never followed a conventional path. With every new project, she expands her creative horizon — and this foray into Telugu cinema is no detour. It’s a strategic progression, rooted in her desire to evolve as a pan-Indian performer.

In Mr. Reddy, early feedback from the film’s rushes suggests that her character is central to the narrative, with emotional complexity and quiet intensity. The story delves into themes of family loyalty and personal ambition, offering her a canvas that blends subtlety with strength. The music amplifies this further, complementing the silences and moments of internal conflict that define her role.

But Mr. Reddy is just the beginning. Anupama is already working on three more Telugu films, each at different stages of production. Varying in tone and genre, these projects reinforce her commitment to versatility and substance — hallmarks of her acting choices since the start.

Simultaneously, she’s making waves in Bollywood with her upcoming Hindi feature What’s Up, currently in post-production. Set against a contemporary urban backdrop, the film explores the blurred lines between friendship, identity, and emotional clarity. Anupama’s performance — balancing wit and vulnerability — has already been described by the director as “honest and rooted, with an instinctive feel for how scenes should breathe.”

2025, however, is not just about acting for Anupama. It’s also the year she dons the producer’s hat. Along with creative partner Tushar Mehta, she has co-founded Kaccha Lemmon Productions — a Mumbai-based production house with a focus on fresh storytelling, emerging talent, and unconventional formats.

The production company has launched with a diverse slate that includes the youth-centric web series Band Baja Aafat, the feature film What’s Up, and a vibrant indie-pop music video Mirchi Billi, already gaining attention across streaming platforms. Importantly, Kaccha Lemmon Productions is not a vanity label — both Anupama and Tushar are hands-on with every project, involved from development and casting to final edits.

Anupama’s goal as a producer is clear: to create space for bold, meaningful narratives that often get overlooked by traditional studios. In several interviews, she’s emphasized her belief in content that has “sharp edges, layered characters, and emotional truth” — values that she upholds across formats and languages.

Whether it’s the grounded humour of What’s Up, the youthful chaos of Band Baja Aafat, or the musical flair of Mirchi Billi, each project reflects a clear vision: to take creative risks, reach new audiences, and tell stories that resonate with the realities of today’s generation.

With multiple releases lined up across platforms and languages, 2025 is shaping up to be a breakout year in Anupama Prakash’s career. But beyond the sheer volume of work, what stands out is her clarity of purpose. Whether she’s on a Telugu film set in Hyderabad or in a writer’s room in Mumbai, her focus remains unwavering — to pursue meaningful work, delivered with sincerity and built on trust.

As Mr. Reddy readies for release, Anupama is not just stepping into Tollywood — she’s steadily building a pan-Indian creative legacy. With her distinct choices as an actor and her emerging voice as a producer, she’s not following trends — she’s setting her own. And that’s what makes her journey one to watch.

Highlights:

• Launched with the mission to democratize quality education by putting power back in the hands of educators
• Integrated tools for scheduling, student management and Real-time dashboards offering insights 
• Verified educator network

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India] : ClassTym, a next-generation interactive teaching platform, built around transparency and personalization launches with a radical mission: to put the power back in the hands of educators thus making quality mentorship accessible to students everywhere while reshaping the future of learning through human connection.

In a digital age where education is increasingly commodified and reduced to influencer content, ClassTym offers a refreshing alternative. Founded by Divya Tej, a visionary entrepreneur and passionate education reformer, the platform rejects rigid, curriculum-heavy systems in favor of flexible, mentor-led learning. At its core, it is a student-centric and educator-first platform that equips independent tutors, coaches, and subject matter experts with the tools to build digital classrooms — without the burden of upfront costs or rigid structures. It offers integrated tools for scheduling, whiteboarding, content delivery, and student management — all designed to make learning interactive, accessible, and impactful.

“At ClassTym, our vision is to create a world where quality education isn’t a privilege, but a right — accessible to anyone, anywhere. We’ve built a platform that connects passionate educators with eager learners in a way that’s seamless, personal, and empowering.” said Divya Tej, Founder of ClassTym.

He further added “Real learning happens when students connect with verified, passionate educators — not algorithms. At ClassTym, we’re not replacing human connection with technology but using technology to enhance it. With intuitive tools and a seamless interface, ClassTym is focused on bridging the gap between students and educators, making knowledge-sharing meaningful and impactful for all.”

Reshaping the EdTech Industry

The launch of ClassTym marks a paradigm shift in the EdTech industry. While most platforms emphasize content delivery and scalability, ClassTym champions student-mentor relationships, academic integrity, and educator empowerment. It enables students to choose their mentors based on demo classes, real reviews, and subject compatibility. By shifting away from a one-size-fits-all model, ClassTym enables personalized learning journeys while supporting educators with smart tools that scale their reach and income.

Unlike other EdTech platforms that thrive on influencers and content creators, ClassTym stands firm on academic integrity. Every educator on the platform is verified, ensuring students learn from qualified, real-world experts — not social media personas.

A Vision Born from Experience

As an alumnus of Good Shepherd International School, Pathways World School, and Bournemouth University (UK), Tej combines global academic exposure with hands-on experience. His leadership comes from working at schools, where he engaged with thousands of students and teachers, giving him firsthand insight into the barriers limiting educator autonomy and student access — especially outside Tier-1 cities. It was this realization that led him to launch ClassTym, a platform that removes geographic, financial, and institutional barriers.

What Sets ClassTym Apart

ClassTym is built from the ground up with a laser focus on transparency, accessibility, and empowerment. Key features include:

Zero Upfront Fees for Educators – Anyone can start teaching on ClassTym without paying a rupee. This reduces entry barriers for passionate educators across the world.

Global Reach – Now live in India, UK, USA, UAE, and Ireland, ClassTym connects educators and students across borders, unlocking global teaching and learning opportunities.

Real-Time Dashboards – Educators can track income, student engagement, and performance metrics all in one place — bringing clarity and control to their teaching careers.

Verified Expert Network – No influencers. Only qualified, vetted educators are allowed on the platform, ensuring credibility and trust for students.

Student Empowerment – Students select educators based on demo sessions, reviews, and subject fit, ensuring a better learning match and stronger academic outcomes.

ClassTym is more than a platform — it is deeply grounded in a powerful philosophy: authentic learning must be rooted in trust, interaction, and mentorship. Built to empower real educators and offer students a truly personalized experience, ClassTym aims to make education interactive, transparent, and deeply human again.

India’s pop culture just got a bold new upgrade — say hello to The Mish Mash Podcast. It’s real, raw, and refreshingly unpredictable. Hosted by the effortlessly charming Manish Mishra, this no-rules, no-holds-barred show is designed for deep dives with India’s most colorful creators, artists, and outliers. And what a debut it is — featuring none other than the powerhouse of poetry and satire, Shambhu Shikhar.

If you’ve heard the iconic lines “Hum Dharti Putra Bihari Hai”, you’ve felt the fire this man brings to the stage. But who is the man behind the viral verses?

In this inaugural episode, Shambhu peels back the layers and gives us a rare glimpse into the journey that turned a small-town boy from Bihar into one of the most recognizable faces in the Kavi Sammelan circuit — and beyond. It’s a story of grit, grace, and good old-fashioned gumption.

From Mockery to Mastery

Growing up, Shambhu often found himself at the receiving end of casual mockery — just for being “Bihari.” But instead of letting the stereotypes define him, he chose to flip the narrative. His roots became his rhythm. His identity, his power. What began with school elocution contests evolved into a powerful poetic voice that today echoes in auditoriums around the world.

He’s now performed in over 38 countries, including the USA, Vietnam, Dubai, Bahrain, and many more — carrying Indian poetry with him like a badge of honor.

His journey? Far from linear.

From the stage of SAB TV’s Wah! Wah! Kya Baat Hai! to becoming a semi-finalist on The Great Indian Laughter Challenge, Shambhu has seen it all — the highs, the setbacks, and the moments of magic in between.

A Conversation That Hits Home

In the episode, Manish Mishra does what great hosts do best — he listens, he laughs, and he lets the guest lead. The result is a conversation that feels more like a cozy chai session with an old friend rather than a structured interview. Shambhu shares childhood memories, behind-the-scenes stories from his TV days, and the incredible experiences of performing at iconic venues like Delhi’s Red Fort.

But it’s not just the stories — it’s the way he tells them. There’s humor, sure, but also a palpable pride in his journey. A resilience born from being underestimated. A calm, unshakeable confidence that comes from knowing exactly who you are.

Poetry That Gives You Goosebumps

Throughout the episode, Shambhu treats listeners to spontaneous recitations of his poetry — and each one lands like a punch to the heart. His words are more than just rhymes — they’re stories, they’re memories, they’re declarations of self-worth and cultural pride.

One such poem that takes center stage is:

“Hum Shramanayak hain Bharat ke,

Aur medha ke avtaari hain.

Hum sau par bhaari ek padey,

Hum dharti putra Bihari hain.

Vedon ke kitne bandh rache,

Humne Gayatri chhand rache.

Sahitya-sarit ki dhaara mein,

Kitne hi kavya prabandh rache.

Hum Dinkar-Renu-Banabhatta,

Vidyapati aur Bhikhari hain.

Hum dharti putra Bihari hain,

Hum dharti putra Bihari hain.”

Lines like these stay with you long after the episode ends — not just for their lyrical quality, but for the emotion behind them.

A Promising Start to Something Special

With this episode, The Mish Mash Podcast firmly announces itself as more than just entertainment. It’s a space for real talk — where creators come to unpack their stories, not just their successes. Where laughter meets legacy. Where identities are not erased, but celebrated.

And Manish Mishra? He’s the perfect guide — someone who knows how to steer a conversation with both heart and humor.

If this first episode is anything to go by, The Mish Mash Podcast isn’t just a podcast. It’s an experience. One that’ll make you smile, maybe tear up a little, and definitely leave you wanting more.

So plug in, press play, and get ready — this mishmash of voices, stories, and spirit is just getting started.

Produced by Jennifer Pengel and Rahul Sharma, Soch is a thought-provoking exploration of gender bias and societal double standards in modern India. The film follows Officer Priyanka Negi, portrayed by acclaimed actress Anjali Patil, as she investigates a village disappearance while grappling with deeply entrenched patriarchal norms. Patil’s performance was recently nominated for Best Actress at the India International Film Festival of Boston.

Soch has already been screened at major international festivals including IIFFB, the Chicago South Asian Film Festival, the Jagran Film Festival, and the 22nd Chennai International Film Festival. Its selection in Stuttgart reflects its growing global resonance.

“Cinema can’t always offer answers—but it can start conversations,” says Gautam. “With Soch, I wanted to highlight the silent codes we grow up with, especially those that define women’s freedom and men’s judgment.”

The Stuttgart Indian Film Festival has built a reputation over two decades for championing bold, socially relevant films. Many acclaimed Indian filmmakers and actors have found early international recognition on its platform. The festival also serves as a key venue for cross-cultural exchange between India and Germany, particularly through its ties with Mumbai, Stuttgart’s sister city.

Soch is produced by Webfilmland Production, a film company based in Garbsen near Hanover, which also supports creative development, workshops, and socially conscious storytelling. The company has recently completed another project by Gautam, A Million Yard Stare, a poetic, emotionally charged film about Ukrainian refugee children coping with the trauma of war.

“A child’s trauma isn’t always loud—it lives in the eyes,” says Gautam. “A Million Yard Stare is my attempt to honor that silence.”

New Delhi [India], June 23:  Hey, have you ever stumbled upon a company that started out like a neighborhood lemonade stand and now runs the global lemonade empire? Well, that’s Cyberin for you. Founded back in 2012, right around the time I was figuring out how to untangle my headphones. Cyberin kicked off as a bold Delhi-based startup aiming to make web hosting and domain services as easy as pie. Fast forward 13 years, and they’re flexing seven self-managed data centers across India, the US (Seattle, Dallas, Atlanta, New Jersey), the UK, and Germany. That’s no small feat, kind of like going from playing cricket in your backyard to hosting the IPL! They’ve empowered over 26,000 community members and startups worldwide. Talk about putting India on the global digital map!

How Cyberin Became a Developer’s Best Friend

What really caught my eye about Cyberin is their developer-first attitude. It’s like they’ve built a clubhouse where developers feel right at home. Imagine high-speed SSD storage paired with LiteSpeed and NGINX tech—basically the Ferrari and Lamborghini of web hosting engines. And they didn’t stop there, their proprietary cPanel tweaks include one-click Softaculous installs and LiteSpeed caching that make managing websites less like rocket science and more like assembling IKEA furniture (well, almost).

Prices? They start at a cool INR 149/month. No sneaky fees hiding in the bushes, plus domain inclusions and a 30-day trial with a money-back guarantee. I mean, finding affordable hosting that doesn’t nickel-and-dime you feels rarer than a traffic-free Delhi morning.

The cherry on top? Their support. Toll-free calls, live chats, ticket systems, and even callbacks that respond in under 60 minutes—even if you’re running a tiny blog about your cat’s latest antics.

Real People, Real Praise

Cyberin doesn’t just talk the talk—they’ve got the reviews to back it up. Independent ratings clock in at a solid 4.3/5 for uptime, speed, and support. Customers rave about reliability and cost-effectiveness—phrases like “most reliable company I’ve come across” pop up more often than Bollywood song remixes on social media.

And if you’ve ever tried migrating a website (hint: it can be a nightmare), you’ll appreciate their hands-on approach. Their team swoops in like digital paramedics, making sure your site moves smoothly without losing a single pixel or visitor.

The People Behind the Magic

Peek behind the curtain, and you’ll find a happy bunch of employees. Cyberin scores 4.4/5 on AmbitionBox, with top marks for culture, job security, and benefits—more smiles per square inch than your average office cubicle. Glassdoor reviews mention a “friendly and inclusive management” and a fast-paced environment that’s perfect for those early in their careers (or anyone who hates boredom).

From Local Hero to Global Player

Cyberin’s journey reminds me of those inspiring stories where someone starts small—serving local businesses and blogs—and then suddenly finds themselves supporting customers across Asia, Europe, and North America. Over 26,000 users later, they’ve transformed from a homegrown host into a global powerhouse.

Why You Should Care

Cyberin’s story isn’t just about hosting websites—it’s about sticking to your guns with solid tech, fair pricing, and real people who care. In a world where many companies chase hype like Black Friday sales, Cyberin chooses value over flashiness. Plus, their community-first vibe means users aren’t just customers—they’re part of the family.

Looking Ahead: What’s Next?

With digital demands exploding post-pandemic (seriously, every business wants an app or website yesterday), Cyberin is gearing up to expand data centers, beef up cybersecurity offerings, and roll out even slicker developer tools. Their growth is perfectly aligned with the evolution of the internet itself, offering not just hosting but a comprehensive digital ecosystem ready to fuel innovation.

Final Thoughts

From its scrappy Delhi startup days to becoming a global player, Cyberin proves that with grit, smarts, and a genuine focus on customers and culture, even small companies can punch way above their weight. They’re not just into cPanel web hosting, they’re powering dreams, boosting startups, and securing digital futures worldwide.

If you ever find yourself stressing over where to host your next big project, consider Cyberin the underdog who turned into a champ without losing its heart. And hey, if they can do it while, so can you!

In a rare but necessary moment of assertiveness, popular content creator Abhishek Malhan has taken a bold stand against toxic online behavior by calling out fellow influencer Sufi for repeatedly mocking and belittling creators. What began as a calm and respectful critique quickly escalated into a distorted controversy, fueled by misleading headlines and a fabricated narrative.

A viral article recently accused Abhishek of using a derogatory term in a now-circulating video snippet—an accusation that has been thoroughly debunked by viewers and fact-checkers alike. No such slur was used in the video, nor was any comment made that targeted gender identity or personal background. Instead, Abhishek addressed the consistent trolling behavior displayed by Sufi, who has been called out previously for his sarcastic takes on influencers’ appearances and content choices.

Twisted Headlines, Misrepresented Intent

The controversy stems from a video clip in which Abhishek candidly expresses frustration over Sufi’s constant judgment of other creators, particularly over outfits and personal moments. However, the backlash did not center around the actual content of the video—but on a false narrative suggesting that Abhishek had crossed a line.

“This is not about hate. It’s about putting an end to unnecessary negativity,” a source close to Abhishek stated. “He’s always been respectful. This was about drawing the line on behavior that has gone unchecked for far too long.”

What followed was a wave of support from fans and fellow creators who agreed with Abhishek’s point of view—many of whom have themselves been at the receiving end of Sufi’s content, including jokes around Triggered Insaan’s wedding and others’ personal fashion choices.

Breaking Down the Manufactured Narrative

The article in question not only used a misleading headline but failed to include Abhishek’s perspective or a response from his team—an oversight that undermines journalistic integrity. Here’s a breakdown of the key issues:

• Fabricated Language Use: The article falsely claimed Abhishek used the slur ‘chakka’, which he never did. This claim has been proven false by the video itself.
• Distorted Intent: Abhishek criticized judgmental behavior—not any individual’s identity or background.
• Lack of Context: The article omitted the months of prior trolling behavior that Sufi engaged in, isolating a snippet to mislead readers.
• No Balanced Reporting: The piece did not include Abhishek’s statement or comments from his side, reflecting biased reporting.
• Ignored Audience Sentiment: Public frustration with Sufi’s style of content was left unaddressed, despite being a key part of the conversation.

When Standing Up Is Mistaken for Aggression

Abhishek’s statement was neither aggressive nor disrespectful. It was a mature response to a trend that many believe is polluting the content ecosystem—mockery in the name of “roasting.”

“Standing up for yourself and others doesn’t make you aggressive. It means you respect your space and the community you’re part of,” said a fellow influencer who publicly supported Abhishek.

The situation brings into focus a larger conversation around influencer culture, online etiquette, and the responsibility of creators to maintain a respectful discourse.

The Bigger Picture

While the controversy around a single statement may fade, the issue at its core remains significant: when is criticism constructive, and when does it become cruelty?

Abhishek Malhan’s stance may have sparked debate, but it also served as a much-needed reminder that calling out negative behavior isn’t wrong—and silence isn’t always golden. In a digital space where creators are expected to accept judgment without protest, his voice stood out for being calm, firm, and necessary.

Produced by Sunil Kothari, AVYAAN is a heartfelt narrative that explores the beauty of simplicity, tradition, and inner reflection — offering a mirror to India’s cultural values and emotional depth.

Directed by Gaurav Khati, the film’s poetic visual tone is brought to life by celebrated cinematographer Chandan Kowli, whose lens captures every frame with grace and authenticity.

A collaboration with Urban Boat Films, AVYAAN is more than a film — it is a soulful journey shaped by storytelling that resonates with meaning, emotion, and purpose.

“AVYAAN is about returning to simplicity. It reflects who we are — through emotion, tradition, and the lens of culture,” shares Sunil Kothari.

The first-look poster, depicting a golden-hued riverside at dusk, beautifully sets the tone for a film that invites audiences into a world of spiritual and emotional discovery.

Stay tuned for more updates as AVYAAN unfolds — a cinematic experience anchored in the essence of Indian heritage, brought to life by Sunil Kothari and his creative team.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 4 :  Sasmira’s Institute of Design & Textiles (SIDT) held the 14th edition of its annual fashion showcase, Enchanté 2025, at The Lalit in Andheri on May 31, 2025, offering a creative culmination of the academic journeys of its graduating students. The event featured 20 curated collections presented by final-year students from SIDT’s Bachelor of Design and Advanced Diploma programmes, with interpretations drawn from this year’s overarching theme, ‘Tattva’—the five fundamental elements of nature.

The collections, presented as the students’ capstone projects, reflected a range of Indian, Indo-western, and western silhouettes. Each design group explored sub-themes inspired by earth, water, fire, air, and space, attempting to translate the intangible essence of these elements into tangible, wearable expressions. The garments incorporated advanced techniques in pattern-making, draping, and construction, with students spending extensive hours in the lab to refine and realise their final looks.

Mohini Sharma, founder and chairperson of Mrs. India Inc, attended the show as Chief Guest, addressing the gathering and encouraging students for their dedication and creativity. The Guest of Honour panel included Mr. Rajesh Relekar, AVP – Value Chain Development at Aditya Birla Cellulose; Ms. Mita Gangoly, Associate Director – Campus Experience at Atlas Skilltech University; and key representatives from SASMIRA, including President Mr. Mihir Mehta and Director General Dr. Ashok Tiwari.

The evening’s jury featured notable professionals from the fashion industry, including celebrity stylist Mr. Rehan Shah, fashion designer Ms. Nikhita Tandon, Ms. Madhulika Damani (Design Head, Trent Ltd.), and supermodel Ms. Sucheta Sharma James. The fashion sequences were directed by Rachna Sikka and her team, who brought cohesion and flair to the diverse student presentations. Special performances were given by the Barziz Band and noted singer Ramji Gulati, setting the stage for a dynamic evening.

Awards were presented across four categories:

• Most Commercially Viable Collection
• Best Surface Ornamentation
• Best Ramp Appeal
• Best Design Collection

The event drew an audience of over 450 attendees, comprising industry professionals, academics, parents, and aspiring design students. Widely shared across digital and social media platforms, the show underscored SIDT’s emphasis on integrating conceptual design thinking with industry-aligned execution.

SIDT is one of the premium design institutes of India, has been dedicated to create master league of Designers, Merchandisers, Industry Professionals, and Global Leaders. SIDT offers undergraduate and diploma programmes in Fashion Design, Textile Design, Apparel Merchandising, and related fields, in collaboration with the University of Mumbai’s Garware Institute of Career Education and Development (GICED).

Teaming up with top-tier real estate giants such as Embassy Boulevard, Godrej, Assetz, and Puravankara, Sammy’s Dreamland is developing one of Bangalore’s most exclusive and sophisticated residential enclaves — “The Most Luxurious Residential Community in Bangalore.” Perfectly positioned between Kempegowda International Airport and the city’s central business district, these developments boast designs from renowned international and U.S.-based architectural firms, elevating the standards of design and innovation.

At a special Channel Partner and Media Showcase held yesterday in Bengaluru, the projects were unveiled in a celebration of creativity, lifestyle, and community spirit. The event was elevated by the presence of four distinguished guests:

• Ms. Sweezal Furtado, Miss Global India 2024
• Mr. Indrajit Lankesh, acclaimed director and producer
• Ms. Revathi S. Kamath, legendary architect and mother of Zerodha co-founders Mr. Nithin and Mr. Nikhil Kamath
• Mr. Sammy Nanwani, Chairman of Sammy’s Dreamland, noted film producer and humanitarian

The unveiling brought together thought leaders, media professionals, and channel partners, all of whom were given an exclusive first look at the master plans and standout features that distinguish Nature’s Boulevard and Sunrise Boulevard.

Addressing the audience, Mr. Sammy Nanwani shared:

“With Nature’s Boulevard and Sunrise Boulevard, we are designing more than just residences — we are cultivating sanctuaries of balance, where nature and modern living exist in perfect harmony.”

These projects underscore Sammy’s Dreamland’s deep-rooted commitment to eco-conscious development, holistic living, and innovative architecture, setting a new benchmark for future communities.

Bookings are now live, and both projects have already begun capturing the imagination of homebuyers, investors, and the broader real estate industry.

Mumbai’s buzzing celeb corridors got more than just star sightings this week—The White Tiger actor Adarsh Gourav was spotted outside Andheri café holding what looked like 10s of smartphones. As the paparazzi swarmed him with questions, the actor answered casually—until they asked him about the phones.

“Kaha se aa rahe ho?” they asked. “Itne saare phones kiske liye?” he was asked. Adarsh, cool as ever, smiled and responded vaguely to the former—but completely ignored the latter. Suspicious? Just wait.

As he turned to leave, jumping down a step, he twisted his foot—a moment that may go down in paparazzi history—and all the phones in his hand tumbled to the ground. The clattering of glass and confusion drew even more cameras. In a low voice, he was heard saying, “Please cut this part.” But the internet? It never cuts anything.

Now, here’s where things get even more interesting: those phones weren’t just any phones—they appear to be the upcoming, unreleased TECNO POVA Curve series, set to launch on May 29th. So why was Adarsh carrying multiple units? Is he the new brand ambassador? Is this part of a larger, strategic marketing campaign?

Fans and internet sleuths are piecing the puzzle together. Some believe this entire incident was a carefully crafted “leak stunt” to drive buzz around TECNO’s new launch. Others think Adarsh was just caught off guard, holding onto several devices.

Either way, the stunt—or accident—has sparked massive intrigue online. Memes are flying across Instagram with captions like “When your exes call at the same time” and “Bro casually dropping my 3 months’ salary”.

With the brand’s launch date reportedly before May 29th, the timing seems too perfect to be a coincidence. So we ask again: Is Adarsh Gourav the face of TECNO’s next big release? And more importantly—who will drop the next clue?

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 1 : Long before professional collaborations and industry recognitions, it was a college stage and a principal willing to fight for extra performance time that affirmed what Shaurya already sensed: music was more than a pastime. It was a calling. It wasn’t about applause or career planning—it was about an inner urgency, a creative force he couldn’t ignore.

In an industry often defined by inheritance and networks, Shaurya Mehta’s entry into music feels like a quiet rebellion. Born into a business family, his trajectory was never expected to intersect with studios, microphones, or melodies. But Shaurya’s voice—passionate and persistent—insisted on being heard.

Navigating the music world as an outsider, he describes the experience as “trying to run in a dream.” It’s a metaphor that lingers—surreal, slow, and often uncertain—but held together by something deeply felt. That weightless, strange sensation of movement without direction captures the limbo of trying to break through without a map, without a legacy name to open doors, and without a defined path to follow.

But even in that dreamlike state, Shaurya moved forward. Slowly. Intuitively. And always with feeling.

For Shaurya, singing isn’t just a performance—it’s a way of seeing. “I paint in my head when I sing,” he has said. “It’s beautiful, colourful.” That instinctive blend of image and sound defines the core of his musicality. Notes are not just notes—they are moods, brushstrokes, and atmospheres. There’s a cinematic texture to his voice, one that lingers with a kind of quiet intensity rather than explosive drama.

Most recently, Shaurya released his debut album, Tune Indo—a body of work that feels like a personal offering. Not made for trends, but made from truth. The album reflects everything

he’s been building toward: softness without fragility, restraint without distance. Each track is a small world, steeped in lived emotion. The title itself suggests a sense of invitation—not a demand to listen, but a gentle request to tune into something real.

Shaurya’s journey has already begun to draw attention, but what sets him apart is not spectacle. It’s sincerity. There is no formula here, no packaged story, no industry polish pretending to be authenticity. What exists instead is a voice that has grown from stillness, and a vision that doesn’t need validation to move forward.

In a world where visibility often outpaces talent, Shaurya Mehta stands out not for what he flaunts, but for what he builds—carefully, emotionally, and without shortcuts. He is, simply put, here for the people and the passion.

Shaurya Mehta has collaborated with noteworthy artists like Jyotica Tangri, Rupali Jagga, Anjana Padmanabhan, Kaushal Kishore, Bhagyashree, Srishty Rode and others, with more exciting projects on the way—including upcoming collaborations with Javed Mohsin, Rashmi Virag, and Kaushik Guddu.

About Tune Indo

Tune Indo is Shaurya Mehta’s deeply personal and genre-fluid debut album—an

emotional journey told through six songs performed in ten Indian languages. It’s not just music; it’s a multilingual, multicultural tribute to the unity and emotional complexity of India. Each track is carefully crafted with soulful vocals, cinematic textures, and heartfelt lyrics that reflect Shaurya’s signature blend of authenticity and artistic vision.

Rather than chasing trends, Tune Indo invites listeners to pause, feel, and connect—with themselves, with others, and with the language of emotion. It’s an album that celebrates diversity, sincerity, and the power of music to unite across boundaries.

Tracklist Preview:

1. Mahi Forever – featuring Jyotica Tangri

2. Thodi Der Aur – featuring Anjana Padmanabhan

For years, AI in customer service has been synonymous with frustration. Businesses have invested in automation, but instead of making things easier, it has left customers feeling unheard. What if AI could do better? What if it could actually understand, respond like a human, and seamlessly adapt to your needs?

That’s exactly what Edysor.ai is setting out to do. And with its official launch on March 18th, businesses are about to witness a revolution in how they engage with customers.

Unlike traditional automation, Edysor.ai is built to listen, learn, and respond in real-time. It doesn’t just detect keywords and spit out pre-written responses—it understands tone, sentiment, and context, making every conversation feel fluid and human-like.

Imagine an international student trying to navigate the complex world of admissions, visas, and financial aid. Instead of digging through endless websites, Edysor.ai acts as a virtual advisor, offering clear, personalized guidance tailored to their academic background and career aspirations. Or picture a homebuyer looking for properties—Edysor.ai can answer inquiries, schedule viewings, and even suggest financing options, all in a way that feels natural and effortless.

One of the biggest headaches for customers? Having to repeat their issue every time they switch channels. Start a conversation over chat, move to email, then call in—only to be asked the same questions again and again.

Edysor.ai eliminates this frustration by offering a true omnichannel experience. Whether a customer starts an inquiry on WhatsApp, switches to a chatbot, and later calls in, Edysor.ai remembers the entire conversation history, ensuring seamless, personalized interactions. No more starting from scratch—just smooth, effortless service.

Let’s talk numbers:

• 60% of customers expect an immediate response.
• 80% will abandon a purchase if they feel disengaged.
• $55 billion is lost annually due to poor customer service.

Industries like travel, real estate, and education can’t afford slow responses:

• In travel, customers need fast answers on bookings, itinerary changes, and cancellations—Edysor.ai provides instant, multilingual support, preventing revenue loss.
• In real estate, slow responses mean lost leads. Edysor.ai helps schedule property viewings and answer financing queries instantly.
• In education, delayed responses lead to student drop-offs. Edysor.ai acts as a 24/7 advisor, guiding students through admissions in real time.

The company also gained significant recognition when invited to GamingCon, a premier gaming event, to showcase its vision. The overwhelming support from the gaming community, content creators, and industry professionals solidified Cryztal Zone’s place in the industry.

Welcome to cloud accounting—the smartest, easiest way to manage your finances without losing sleep (or your data). If you’re wondering, “Do I really need this?” keep reading. By the end, you’ll be asking yourself, “Why didn’t I switch sooner?”

First, What Even is Cloud Accounting?

Imagine all your financial data—your invoices, transactions, reports, and expenses—securely stored online and accessible anytime from any device. No more “I left that file on my office laptop.” No more “Where did I save last month’s report?” No more “Oops, my hard drive crashed, and I lost everything.” Everything stays safe, updated, and accessible, no matter where you are. Sounds like a dream? It’s reality. And that’s why SME’s everywhere are moving to cloud accounting.

Why Cloud Accounting is a No-Brainer for SME’s

Still unsure if cloud accounting is worth it? Let’s break it down.

Your financial data isn’t trapped on one computer—it’s everywhere you need it to be. You can check your cash flow while sipping chai at your favorite café, approve invoices while stuck in traffic (as a passenger, of course), and access reports from your phone when a client suddenly asks for details. SME’s business isn’t tied to one place, so why should your accounting be? With hisabkitab’s mobile app, available on both Android and iOS, you can manage your SME’s business finances from anywhere—whether you’re in the office or on the go.

Nobody starts a SME’s business because they love manually entering numbers. Cloud accounting automates all those time-consuming tasks, making SME’s business operations smoother. Invoices get sent automatically, expenses are tracked in real time, and payment reminders go out on their own. This means less work, fewer mistakes, and more time to actually grow your SME’s business.

You know that mini heart attack you get when your laptop crashes, and you haven’t backed up your files? That doesn’t happen with cloud accounting. No more lost receipts, no more corrupt files, and no more scrambling to find missing reports. Everything is backed up automatically, so your financial data stays safe—no matter what happens to your device. Hisabkitab’s mobile app securely stores and makes your financial records accessible across devices, making accounting truly hassle-free.

Spreadsheets are great… until they aren’t. One wrong formula, one deleted cell, and suddenly, your entire report is a mess. Cloud accounting keeps everything organized, error-free, and far less stressful. Reports are generated automatically, cash flow updates in real time, and financial statements are one click away—not buried in twenty different folders. This means less stress and more clarity in financial planning.

Why SME’s Are Choosing hisabkitab for Cloud Accounting

So, we’ve established that cloud accounting is the future. However, not all cloud accounting tools are created equal. That’s where hisabkitab comes in.

The pricing is affordable, with no hidden costs, just real value for money.

The platform is also accessible across multiple devices, allowing you to switch between desktop, mobile, or tablet without any hassle. Basically, it’s like having a full-time accountant—without the hefty salary.

The Future is Here—Are You Ready?

We’ve automated our food orders. We’ve automated our shopping. We’ve even automated our reminders to drink water. So why are we still managing our finances the old-school way? Cloud accounting isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a necessity for SME’s that want to save time by automating financial tasks, cut down errors, and keep records accurate while making smarter SME’s business decisions with real-time insights. The best part? Getting started is ridiculously easy.

Switch to Smart Accounting with hisabkitab

With hisabkitab’s cloud accounting solution, you get instant access to financial data anytime, anywhere, automated bookkeeping and invoicing so you can focus on growing your SME’s business, and secure, hassle-free accounting—no more lost files or spreadsheet disasters.

So, what’s the plan? Are you sticking with outdated methods or upgrading to smarter, cloud-powered accounting?

Philojain Music Muse proudly announces its emergence as a groundbreaking force in the global music scene, led by visionary Indian

musician Amit Jain, known by his stage name Philojain. Blending extreme experimental electro rock, melodic metal, and progressive punk with subwoofer bass-driven soundscapes, the label is carving a unique niche in contemporary music. With over 18 albums already released and more in the pipeline, Philojain Music Muse is a testament to decades of musical exploration, innovation, and an unrelenting passion for pushing sonic boundaries.

A Journey Rooted in Rock and Metal

Amit Jain, the creative mind behind Philojain Music Muse, hails from India, where he grew up immersed in a rich musical environment dominated by rock and metal. “Music has been an evergreen passion,” says Philojain. “From my school days with rock to witnessing the evolution of metal—from heavy to nu-metal—it’s been decades of discovery that fuel my work today.” His stage name, Philojain, merges his love for philosophy with his Jain heritage, reflecting a thoughtful and introspective approach to his craft.

Philojain’s musical journey took a significant turn during the COVID-19 pandemic, a period of isolation that became a catalyst for productivity. “I had releases planned for years,” he explains. “With resources tight and time on my hands, I dove in. Most of my work dropped in January 2025, making a lasting impact for fans of experimental and progressive genres.” The result? A discography that spans 18 albums, with five more in development, available across all major streaming platforms like Spotify, Amazon Music, Tidal, and Qobuz.

The Sound of Philojain Music Muse

Philojain Music Muse is not just a label—it’s a movement. The music defies categorization, blending extreme experimental electro metal rock with punk, nu-metal, and progressive elements. Philojain’s meticulous attention to rhythm, riff complexity, and subwoofer bass depth creates an auditory experience that’s both unpredictable and deeply satisfying.

Tracks like “Riff Raff 130” exemplify his talent, offering intricate guitar work and melodic surprises that captivate metalheads and guitar enthusiasts alike.

“Music is my way of exploring the unexpected,” Philojain shares. “With ‘Riff Raff 130,’ I wanted to take listeners on a journey—something familiar yet entirely new. It’s about capturing raw energy and channeling it into every note.” His influences are as diverse as his sound, drawing from legends like Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Steve Vai, and Joe Satriani, alongside modern acts like Slipknot, Pendulum, and The Prodigy.

The label’s commitment to high-quality production is evident in its use of modern hardware and software, delivering tracks in stunning 96,000 Hz glory. From the pulsating bass of Nubass to the neo-instrumental explorations of Neo-Instrumental Vol. 1-5, Philojain Music Muse offers hours of riffs and sonic innovation for fans to dive into.

Expanding the Muse: Label Artists and Collaborations

Philojain Music Muse isn’t a solo endeavor—it’s a platform for emerging talent. Alongside Philojain’s own releases (32 releases, 907 tracks), the label supports artists like Monk Chi (20 releases, 274 tracks) and Mamulogue (14 releases, 261 tracks). Named after Philojain’s late pug

—a riff-loving companion who inspired countless drives with music on full blast—Monk Chi is a side project that embodies his personal connection to his craft. “He’d scratch my speakers whenever he wanted a listen,” Philojain recalls fondly. “That energy lives on in my music.” The label is actively inviting collaborations, opening doors for artists to join its experimental ethos. “We’re building a community of creators who aren’t afraid to push boundaries,” Philojain says. “If you’ve got a vision, let’s make it happen.”

A Global Presence

Philojain Music Muse’s catalog is accessible worldwide through respective smartlinks and the press has taken notice, with glowing reviews. “The feeling of seeing my work resonate is what every creator aspires to,” Philojain reflects. “It’s been awesome.”

Looking Ahead

Philojain Music Muse is poised for a dynamic 2025. While currently focused on streaming growth and strategic ad spend, Philojain is

exploring live performance opportunities as a solo DJ act. “I’d love to play an underground pub in Europe,” he muses. “Those folks know how to rock out in style.” He also dreams of seeing his music animated into anime-style videos, a nod to his eclectic influences.

Beyond his own work, Philojain is passionate about supporting fellow artists. “Sharing across platforms, radio shoutouts—artists supporting artists is the way forward,” he says. As a holder of a Postgraduate Diploma in Global Digital Marketing from the University of Essex, UK, he brings a savvy perspective to the industry, advocating for better ROI for musicians and innovative platforms to connect creators with fans.

A Passion for Metal, Experimentation, and the Unpredictable

Philojain’s journey into music stems from his deep-rooted passion for rock and metal, dating back to his school days. Influenced by the evolving soundscapes of heavy metal and nu-metal, his work represents decades of musical exploration. Combining instruments, hardware, and software in innovative ways, he crafts fresh, unexpected sounds that defy genre norms. His meticulous attention to rhythm and depth has positioned him as a significant figure in the independent experimental metal scene.

Meditation and silence play a crucial role in his creative process, with each track designed to take listeners on an immersive auditory journey. His method of testing new music by blasting it in his EV while driving speaks volumes about his passion for experiencing music in its purest form.

As more sophisticated attack methods are used, disruptions are becoming more common. The complexity of AI-driven attacks is growing, with businesses facing unexpected threats. This new wave of threat, known as Voice Channel AI Disruption (VCAD), is an advanced AI-driven attack that doesn’t rely on overwhelming call volumes like traditional Telephony Denial of Service (TDoS) attacks. Instead, it employs advanced conversational AI bots that exploit corporate resources and avoid detection systems to engage in long, realistic conversations with call center staff. Numerous bot assaults are causing a lot of damage, accounting for up to 11.8% of all cyber losses globally. Bot attacks rose by 88% in 2022 and 28% in 2023, respectively.

How does Voice Channel AI Disruption (VCAD) Work?

1. Fewer Calls, More Wasted Time

VCAD attacks don’t deluge businesses with short calls; instead, they involve fewer but lengthier conversations. These calls keep agents busy, which gradually lowers productivity and makes it more difficult to identify the attack.

2. Long, Realistic Conversations

Unlike typical bots, which use scripted communications, VCAD bots sound human. They utilize artificial intelligence to comprehend context, modify their tone, and reply intuitively, making them practically indistinguishable from real consumers.

3. No Spikes, No Warnings

Security systems usually detect attacks by spotting sudden increases in call volume. VCAD calls stay at normal levels, slipping past detection while still disrupting operations.

Instead of crashing systems, VCAD attacks drain time and resources by keeping agents occupied with convincing, time-consuming conversations.

Why is Voice Channel AI Disruption (VCAD) So Hard to Prevent?

In contrast to previous robocall attacks that used brief, repeated messages, VCAD bots are able to speak, reason, and adapt, making them nearly identical to human callers. Due to their constant evolution, VCAD assaults are extremely resilient to conventional security solutions.

• Constantly Changing Tactics : Each attack is created differently every time. The bots change their voices, speaking styles, and phone numbers to avoid detection. They also learn from past failures, making security measures less effective.
• AI Sounds Like a Real Person : These bots copy natural human speech, including pauses and tone changes, so they don’t sound robotic. Unlike old robocalls that used fixed scripts, these bots respond in a flexible way, helping them avoid spam filters.
• Fake Caller IDs & Smart Adjustments: It is impossible to completely stop them since AI may produce phone numbers that look legitimate but are fake. The bots are also able to keep an eye on security systems and can adjust their approach in real time to review safeguards.

Voice Channel AI Disruption (VCAD) developing strategies make it a significantly more complicated and resilient threat than traditional call flooding attacks.

Future Trends and Evolving Threats

The use of lifelike voices by bots in AI-powered phone scams is making them more convincing, making it difficult to distinguish between human and automated calls. Deepfake technology allows scammers to mimic trusted people, tricking others into giving away personal information or money. Although there are improvements in detecting these scams, such as analyzing behavior and voice patterns or improving caller ID, scammers are likely to keep finding new ways to trick people.

To stay ahead of these evolving threats, detection methods and technology must be constantly improved. People and businesses can also protect themselves by learning about various scams and how they operate, which helps recognize the warning signs and reduces the chances of being targeted. Awareness and the use of modern prevention tools are key to fighting these fake attacks.

The duo’s entrepreneurial journey began in 2016 with a digital freight forwarding venture, scaling it to a ₹6 crore business. When the pandemic disrupted the global supply chain, they pivoted to create Citrus Freight—a platform designed to address the unique challenges of exporting high-quality perishable goods. Today, Citrus Freight boasts a 25-member team and has empowered 25,000 exporters to access international markets.

Bridging the Gap for Indian Farmers

India is the largest producer of agricultural and perishable goods, yet it accounts for just 2% of the global export market. High spoilage rates, convoluted documentation processes, and fragmented logistics are significant barriers.

“Exporting fresh produce is unnecessarily complex,” says Biplob. “From price discovery to delivery, inefficiencies in the system hurt farmers and exporters.”

Citrus Freight set out to change this narrative. As India’s first reefer container shipping platform, the company focuses exclusively on export-quality produce—a niche often neglected by traditional logistics providers.

What Sets Citrus Freight Apart

Citrus Freight combines technology and innovation to make exporting perishables simpler, faster, and more reliable:

• AI-Powered Price Discovery: Exporters can determine landed costs and secure bookings in seconds—a process that previously took 72 hours.

• Reduced Spoilage Rates: Real-time temperature monitoring and rigorous quality checks have brought spoilage rates down to less than 5%, boosting exporters’ profits by up to 20%.

• Smarter Vessel Scheduling: Using proprietary AI, Citrus Freight helps exporters identify vessels with optimal transit times and reliable performance, ensuring timely deliveries and minimal risks.

Driving Impact at Scale

With backing from investors like Caret Capital and Intercont Freight Liners, Citrus Freight has transformed cold chain logistics for 25,000 SMEs. By tackling inefficiencies, the platform has empowered Indian exporters to compete globally.

“We’ve built something as intuitive as planning a trip on MakeMyTrip,” Ricky explains. “It’s efficient, user-friendly, and tailored to the needs of agri-exporters.”

Changing the Landscape of Agri Exports

India’s farm produce is classified into three categories:

1. Export Quality: High-standard produce meeting international demands.
2. Supermarket Quality: Moderate quality for urban consumers.
3. Mandi Quality: Goods for local wholesale markets.

While logistics providers like Snowman and Celsius serve supermarket and mandi-level produce, Citrus Freight stands out with its dedication to export-quality goods. By simplifying logistics, the company reduces barriers and creates global growth opportunities for SMEs.

Looking Ahead

As Citrus Freight continues to grow, its mission remains steadfast: to simplify and scale cold chain logistics, ensuring Indian fresh produce reaches every corner of the world. With innovative solutions and unwavering commitment, the company is set to lead a transformative journey in agri-exports.

The worldwide increase in cyber threats affects all sectors including businesses and governments and private citizens. Research indicates that 50% of UK businesses faced cyberattacks in 2023 and the average cost of data breaches for companies in 2024 reached $4.88 million per case. Ransomware attacks recorded nearly 236.1 million attacks worldwide during the first half of 2022 as their frequency and complexity level continued to rise. The cyber threat known as voice channel AI disruption or call bombing disrupts systems while remaining unnoticed by many organizations.

Contrary to legitimate communication practices, call bombing involves bombarding a customer support process with AI generated calls to disrupt normal functioning. These attacks create extensive daily operational disruptions and compromise security procedures while providing an opportunity for cyber criminals to perform advanced malicious activities. The perpetrators hide their caller identity through sophisticated spoofing tactics which makes tracking down the original source of the calls extremely difficult. The growing cybercrime threat underscores the critical need for advanced defense measures and the corresponding effect on the 53.35 million US citizens who fell victim to cyber attacks during the first half of 2022.

Why the Need for Awareness

The enormous total losses from cybercrime incidents prove the urgent necessity for organizations to be proactive. The total cybercrime loss for US citizens reached $6.9 billion during 2021. In 2023, 1 in 2 American internet users had their accounts compromised globally and about 1 billion emails were released worldwide. The data reveals the high degree of vulnerability which both people and companies face in the face of attacks like voice channel AI disruption (VCAD). These risks will expand in number because we do not pay attention to properly adopt safety measures so they can strike new victims across a broad spectrum.

What is the impact of Voice Channel AI Disruption (VCAD)?

These malicious phone attacks generate problems greater than basic harassment through nuisance calls:

1. At the start of the scheme attackers initiate a few calls to create lengthy and resource-intensive interactions instead of conducting a large-scale distributed denial of service.
2. The extended phone calls consume agent time which stops them from addressing valid customer questions thus creating service delays along with increased frustration among customers.
3. The persistent phone use extends operational expenses for organizations which requires them to distribute additional resources while paying workers overtime and increasing staffing levels to reduce interruptions.
4. Attackers use such strategic calling methods because they create interactions which closely resemble standard customer service calls that automated detection systems typically cannot identify or prevent.
5. Continuous phone disruptions require emergency or customer support executives to spend excessive time on unwanted calls which directly impacts their operational efficiency.

Regulatory Countermeasures Remain Futile

The increasing number of cyber threats has led governments together with regulatory bodies to strengthen their efforts for threat mitigation. FCC is planning to launch a government-wide effort to understand the nature and extent of this breach, what needs to happen to rid this exposure in our networks, and the steps required to ensure it never happens again. Similarly, TRAI in India established strict regulations in 2024 which reduced spam call complaints by 20% over two months. Various regulatory bodies worldwide have established requirements which expect telecom providers to adopt anti-spoofing security technologies along with caller authentication platforms. The implemented security measures reduce some voice channel AI disruption risks but cybercriminals persistently discover new methods to bypass these protections.

Regulatory advancements have not stopped the resilience of cybercriminals since they employ advanced tools to circumvent security systems. Multiple jurisdictional operations of voice channel AI disruption (VCAD) networks create difficulties in their successful prosecution. The development of deepfake audio technology together with existing scams make phone-based fraud increasingly difficult to detect thus requiring immediate business and individual investment in cybersecurity enhancement.

Future Threats

Modern cybercriminals continuously improve their tactics which results in growing sophistication of their attacks. The combination of automation systems with large-scale botnets as well as modern fraud methods will drive the widespread adoption of call bombing incidents. The digital threat landscape is becoming more aggressive because cybercrime costs have soared globally while malware attacks grew by 358% during 2020 alone. Healthcare facilities alongside finance institutions along with government institutions continue being primary targets because their data carries substantial sensitivity. Voice channel AI disruption (VCAD) will build a greater danger for organizations and individual users unless businesses show proactive global action and make active investments in cybersecurity defense measures.

The recent escalating number of cyberattacks together with digital fraud requires complete security systems to protect people immediately. Businesses and individuals need to stay alert because sophisticated cybercriminals are using voice channel AI disruption (VCAD) in an increasing manner. Public authorities together with telecom regulators need to enhance their anti-fraud standards at the same time organizations require comprehensive cybersecurity systems. Today’s growing cybercrime rates demand organizations to develop awareness together with their security preparedness while adopting proactive security measures to defend against modern digital attacks.

India has long been a diverse market for home decor, and religious themes are often popular among the consumer base. Founded by Ketul Patel, 7Decore noticed a gap in the market concerning home decor. Religious home decor usually included simple designs that did not add additional value to a wall space.

A growing number of users actively sought Islamic wall decor that was close to negligible in the Indian market. 

Ketul Patel and his team expanded their range to include Islamic home decor that caters to this specific niche. This strategic move was implemented due to the increasing interest in faith-based home aesthetics. With quality craftsmanship and culturally inspired designs, 7Decore has incorporated thought into every design.

7Decore’s iconic collection has a number of unique designs, including beautifully crafted Arabic calligraphy, verses from the Quran, and modern minimalist designs that blend faith and design. Each piece is made keeping in mind the following objectives:

• High-Quality Craftsmanship: Every piece is made with premium materials and intricate designs that are long-lasting
• Diverse and Trendy Collections: A diverse range of designs that include modern minimalism and faith-inspired art
• Customer-centric approach: A customer-centric online shopping experience with easy navigation and customer service
• Affordable Luxury: Stylish, elegant decor at affordable prices
• Sustainability and Ethical Sourcing: Eco-friendly practices and responsible material sourcing

Speaking on this new launch, a team representative said, “Religious decor has always been an integral part of Indian homes. While Hindu and other traditional decor styles have been widely available, we noticed a growing demand for Islamic wall art. Our goal is to create high-quality, elegant, and spiritually significant pieces that resonate with customers looking to incorporate faith into their home design”

This expansion highlights 7Decore’s broader mission to diversify its product range and cater to the evolving trends in the industry. As 7Decore continues to grow, one thing remains constant–their dedication to transforming walls with faith and style.

Headquartered in Bangalore, Happy Pet is dedicated to connecting and empowering the pet ecosystem. The company operates a comprehensive B2B and B2C platform – www.happypet.care  – that provides pet parents with the right information and connects them with services for their dogs, cats, birds, and fish. Happy Pet differentiates itself by being available across Tier 1, 2, and 3 cities in India. Happy Pet envisions every pet having a loving family. The company aims to empower each pet parent with access to services and tools that make it an enriching experience for the pet and the parents.

Why Happy Pet?

Happy Pet was born from founder Anil Reddy’s previous experience as a design and tech entrepreneur and his lifelong love for animals. His journey with pets began as a child when he convinced his mother to foster four Indie dogs. “Nothing is better than being welcomed home by slobbering kisses and wagging tails,” says Anil.

Today, he is a proud pet parent of two dogs. However, when researching for the perfect dog to suit his lifestyle, home, and family, Anil realized that there wasn’t a single India-specific pet information portal. This sparked an idea—one that evolved into Happy Pet.

“My background in design & tech led me to the idea of connecting the entire pet ecosystem. Keeping technology, data, AI, and empathy for pet parents as cornerstones of Happy Pet, we’re building a world-class platform that seamlessly connects pet parents with services such as grooming, boarding, training, veterinary care, and more – right at their fingertips. At the same time, the platform empowers service providers with streamlining their businesses through www.happypet.tech,” he explains.

“Adding to that, Happy Pet has also come up with a pet parent app that helps keep all records – may it be food, walks, meds, or a monthly budget – in one place at the tap of a button. No scampering for prescriptions or records anymore,” he enthused.

Meet the Founder: Anil Reddy

A visionary design entrepreneur, Anil Reddy previously founded Lollypop Design Studio in 2013. Under his leadership, Lollypop became India’s largest design studio and a globally recognized brand before he successfully sold it in 2019.

“My journey as a designer and tech entrepreneur has spanned over 25 years. I have helped many Indian startups like Myntra, Upstox, Swiggy, and Paytm achieve Unicorn status while taking Lollypop to global heights over the last decade,” Anil shares.

He met his childhood friend and Pet Warehouse co-founder Manjunath Reddy at the latter’s farm outside Bangalore. A casual conversation, surrounded by happy, well-looked-after dogs, turned into a pitch that led to Anil joining Pet Warehouse as an investor and a mentor thus starting his journey into the pet industry.

Innovative Solutions for a Booming Pet Industry

“When we started in early 2024, our goal was to inform, educate, and assist pet lovers in navigating the booming pet industry within a year through www.happypet.care. We not only surpassed that milestone but also launched SaaS platforms with www.happypet.techto help service providers streamline their operations and expand their reach,” Anil proudly states.

Happy Pet has ambitious goals: to connect 32 million pet parents across India with the best available pet services. By pushing boundaries and setting new standards, the company aims to lead India’s pet industry towards worldwide recognition.

Committed to creating a seamless experience for pet parents and businesses alike, Happy Pet Tech is redefining the future of India’s pet care industry which is projected to reach $3 billion by 2025.

Vicky Kaushal’s portrayal of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj has already set a new benchmark for historical performances in Bollywood. His remarkable transformation has captivated audiences, with one fan stating on Instagram, “Vicky Kaushal is the Most VERSATILE ACTOR.!!! That’s it.”

Rashmika Mandanna as Maharani Yesubai and Akshaye Khanna as Aurangzeb deliver riveting performances that are set to elevate the film’s gripping narrative. Mandanna’s regal yet commanding portrayal has already garnered widespread praise. Fans are going crazy over Rashmika’s stellar performance! A fan on Instagram shared, “Rashmika Mandanna looks absolutely stunning in her Yesubai avatar for the upcoming film Chhava! Her regal and graceful appearance truly captures the essence of the historical character. It’s amazing to see her take on such a powerful role with elegance and confidence.”

The film’s soundtrack, led by the emotionally stirring Jaane Tu, composed by A.R. Rahman and voiced by Arijit Singh, has become an instant fan favourite. With Irshad Kamil’s poignant lyrics, the track is being hailed as a musical masterpiece. A fan on Instagram commented “Some stories touch the heart, some songs touch the soul, and #Jaane Tu does both! Rashmika, your words make this tribute even more special. Can’t wait to witness the magic of #Chhaava on the big screen! #RashmikaMandanna @rashmika_mandanna”

Under Laxman Utekar’s visionary direction, Chhaava takes viewers on a journey back in time, where valour and legacy shaped history. The film’s meticulously crafted sets, adrenaline-charged battle scenes, and authentic depictions of Maratha’s life create a compelling visual spectacle. With its release on February 14, 2025, fans have already declared it a celebration of history and cinematic brilliance, christening the day as “Chhaava Day.”

Contrasting this with the U.S. ecosystem, which thrives on robust frameworks like SCORE—a pioneering organization mentoring small businesses since 1964—the difference is stark. SCORE, a resource partner of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), has been pivotal in shaping small businesses through its mentorship programs, workshops, and access to comprehensive resources. Intrigued by their mission, I joined the SCORE-greater Cincinnati chapter, as a certified mentor, aiming to contribute to this vibrant ecosystem, through a rigorous training and interview process.

The SCORE Experience: Rethinking Entrepreneurship

Engaging with SCORE has been an eye-opening journey. One of the most surprising revelations is the demographic shift among entrepreneurs. Approximately 80% of the founders I’ve mentored are over the age of 50, reflecting a growing trend of seasoned professionals leveraging their expertise to pursue entrepreneurial ambitions. This challenges the traditional narrative that startups are a young person’s game and underscores the inclusivity of the modern entrepreneurial landscape.

Why SCORE Works: A Blueprint for Startup Support

SCORE’s approach to empowering entrepreneurs is multidimensional, addressing every stage of business growth:

Personalized Mentorship: Tailored guidance from experienced professionals to address unique business challenges.

Workshops & Webinars: Covering diverse topics such as digital marketing, financial planning, and operational strategies.

Resource Libraries: Offering templates, tools, and step-by-step guides to streamline business operations.

This ecosystem, bolstered by SBA initiatives like loan programs, contracting assistance, and disaster relief, creates a supportive infrastructure for startups to innovate, scale, and sustain operations.

Reflections from IIMA: A Foundation for Strategic Mentorship

My formative years at the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) provided a strong foundation for critical thinking and strategic problem-solving. These skills have been instrumental in my mentorship journey, allowing me to navigate entrepreneurs through complex challenges by blending theoretical insights with practical solutions.

India’s Startup Potential: The Path Forward

India’s startup ecosystem is brimming with potential. Government initiatives like Startup India have laid the groundwork, providing funding and policy support to foster entrepreneurship. However, the absence of structured mentorship programs like SCORE remains a significant roadblock. Establishing similar frameworks in India could enable experienced professionals to guide startups, ensuring innovation isn’t stifled by operational hurdles.

A Call to Action: Building a Culture of Mentorship

Mentorship is not only a catalyst for entrepreneurial success but alsol a cornerstone for long-term innovation and economic growth. My journey with SCORE has deepened my appreciation for the transformative power of guidance, not just for entrepreneurs but also for mentors who gain valuable insights from diverse perspectives.

As India continues to solidify its position as a global startup leader, integrating structured mentorship frameworks into the ecosystem will be crucial. By doing so, we can unlock new avenues of innovation, drive economic growth, and create a collaborative environment where startups thrive—not just survive.

Authored by Binod Chaudhary, a visionary who rose from humble beginnings to the global stage, this book is more than a memoir—it’s a masterclass in ambition, grit, and the art of making dreams a reality. For entrepreneurs in 2025, here’s why Making It Big is not just a book but a must-have blueprint for success.

An Ambitious Vision: Thinking Beyond Limits

One of the most compelling lessons in the book is the power of high ambition. At a time when most businesses in his native Nepal were content with local successes, Binod Chaudhary set his sights on the global stage. The launch of Wai Wai noodles is a prime example—a product that started in a small market but grew into an international brand loved in 50+ countries.

For entrepreneurs in 2025, this serves as a reminder that thinking big isn’t just an option; it’s a necessity. The global marketplace offers endless opportunities for those who dare to innovate and aim higher than the competition.

Resilience in the Face of Challenges

Entrepreneurship is rarely smooth sailing, and Making It Big doesn’t shy away from sharing the hard truths. With competitors trying to undercut operations, the company stood its ground, pivoting to new partnerships and markets to survive—and eventually thrive.

This lesson is especially critical in today’s uncertain world, where entrepreneurs must navigate economic turbulence, geopolitical conflicts, and market disruptions. It’s not about avoiding challenges but finding ways to rise above them.

The Art of Building Organizations

Making It Big emphasizes the importance of building scalable systems and empowering teams. The decision to move away from traditional family-run practices and hire a team of professionals—from chartered accountants to industry experts—transformed a modest business into a multinational conglomerate.

This approach resonates strongly in 2025, where startups and businesses thrive on agile teams, robust systems, and diverse expertise. Entrepreneurs are reminded that sustainable growth isn’t about doing everything yourself but building organizations that outlast individual efforts.

The Balancing Act: Ambition Meets Prudence

The book challenges the notion that positivity alone drives success. Instead, it advocates a balanced approach: optimism tempered with realism. Businesses can navigate uncertainty without losing momentum by focusing on potential risks and preparing for contingencies. This lesson is especially relevant in a year when market volatility and unforeseen disruptions are almost guaranteed.

A Call to Action for 2025 Entrepreneurs

Making It Big isn’t just a recounting of personal achievements—it’s a call to action for anyone who dreams of leaving a lasting impact. It inspires readers to embrace bold ambitions, stay resilient through adversity, and approach the future with courage and caution.

As entrepreneurs in 2025 face the challenges of a fast-paced, interconnected world, the lessons in this book are more relevant than ever. It’s not just about building businesses; it’s about building legacies that inspire generations.

Read It. Learn It. Live It.

For anyone striving to make their mark in 2025, Making It Big is more than a book—it’s a roadmap. Packed with real-world examples, actionable insights, and a powerful message of hope, it’s a must-read for every entrepreneur ready to dream big and deliver bigger.

“Match Fixing” presents a fictionalized account of the closed-door politics and administrative manipulations within high-profile offices. The film explores the conspiracy behind the orchestrated terror attacks leading up to the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. It charts the journey of an army officer from military intelligence, entangled in the web of this conspiracy.

The agenda of the makers was to refute the false narrative of Saffron Terror which was fabricated for vote-bank politics. According to the film, national security was compromised for the sake of power and the nation was at stake.

Critics and reviewers across the country have echoed this sentiment, making Match Fixing the talk of the town.

Here’s what some of the leading voices in film criticism have to say:

Bollywood Helpline – 4/5

“a political thriller that isn’t afraid to tackle the darkest aspects of contemporary geopolitics. It’s bold, it’s intelligent, and it’s unflinchingly honest.”

Telly Chakkar – 3.5/5

“Match Fixing is an intense, intelligent, and unflinching political thriller that’s both timely and timeless. If you’re up for a story that keeps you guessing and makes you think long after the credits roll, this one’s for you.”

First India – 4/4

“Match Fixing is edgy, it’s thrilling, and it’s not afraid to dive into uncomfortable truths. It’s the political thriller you didn’t know you needed. Watch it, and then spend the next few hours questioning everything.”

First time producer Pallavi Gurjar has demonstrated remarkable courage and vision by acquiring the rights of the book. The vastly experienced and passionate Kedaar Gaekwad is the Director and DOP on this film. Kedaar has meticulously executed his vision into a cinematic spectacle by assembling a team that understood his vision.”

With Match Fixing, Pallavi has proven that with focused efforts and judicious allocation of resources, high-quality content can be created despite budget constraints. Shot across 6 cities featuring London, Istanbul, Kashmir, Lucknow, Pune and Mumbai, Pallavi ensured that she went out of her to ensure Kedaar’s vision. (More than half of the film has been filmed in the culturally rich and diverse city of Lucknow). The Production Design team has worked tirelessly to recreate the period look with precision. The scale and production value of the film have not been compromised anywhere in the film.

138 actors have embodied the essence of the characters, rather than merely imitating anyone. The film boasts an ensemble cast featuring accomplished actors like Vineet Kumar Singh, Anuja Sathe, Manoj Joshi, Shataf Figar and Raj Arjun amongst many others.

Screenplay writer Anuj S. Mehta has converted the book into a compelling narrative and Dialogue writer Sameer Garud has added the desired impact to every scene. Editor Ashish Mhatre has woven a crisp, intricate and engaging story.

The makers had hired an army consultant to avoid cringe-worthy inaccuracies and respect army traditions. The filmmakers’ primary objective was to pay tribute to the selfless bravery of army officers with this film.

Many of you would be wondering why it is concerned, so the major reason to be concerned is that nearly 40% of the imported rice consumed in the region, primarily from countries like India, Thailand, Vietnam, and Pakistan, all of which produce surplus rice. This raises an intriguing question: why does a region like West Africa, which has abundant arable land and freshwater sources, continue to depend heavily on imported rice?

The potential for agricultural self-sufficiency in West African nations is evident, notwithstanding their historical struggles with poverty in comparison to their Southern and Eastern African neighbors. Actually, they have more than enough water and arable land to grow all the rice their country needs. Then why is this staple food imported to such a large extent?

One convincing explanation is economic efficiency. When global markets provide a surplus of rice, it might seem more practical for West African nations to import rice while using their agricultural land to grow higher-value cash crops. This strategy could generate much-needed foreign exchange and boost local economies. In fact, this has been the logic driving the import of rice for decades. It’s a business that creates jobs on both ends of the supply chain, ensures affordable nutrition for the local population, and supports a steady flow of rice from exporters to eager importers in the ECOWAS region. As a result, West Africa has become the largest importer of rice globally, accounting for 20% of the world’s rice trade.

Since 2014, Terra Firma Commodities (Co-Founder of Vivek Gahlaut) has been a key player in this trade, especially in markets such as Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Ghana. The top wholesalers in the area recognise and trust our local rice brands. Before a big disturbance, the system had been running well for years.

India is the world’s leading exporter of rice, and in September 2023, India outlawed the sale of all varieties of white rice other than basmati and as a result of this one event alone, broken white rice to spike by $100-150 per metric ton almost overnight, rising from around $400 to $600-650 per metric ton.  The broken white rice price index jumped from $400 to $600–650/metric tonne in the span of a single trading day, as a result of this one event alone.

This sudden increase made imported rice significantly more expensive than locally grown varieties, and it was unclear whether other rice-producing nations could fill the supply gap left by India’s decision. India’s ban, driven by its own internal concerns, has had a profound effect on the global rice market, and West Africa, as one of the largest importers, has been hit hard.

As a participant in this business, Terra Firma Commodities (Co-Founder of Vivek Gahlaut) has enjoyed reaping the benefits of this trade, with good incentives for owners and company employees alike.  However, the current situation is unsustainable. The rice trade, as we knew it, has been disrupted which clarifies that we can no longer rely on the same model. Our company has decided to invest in the local agricultural ecosystem beyond superficial, transactional interactions in order to engage with the community more thoroughly.

In response to the prohibition, Terra Firma has initiated discussions with West African governments and local cooperatives to support domestic rice production. We’re doing our best to equip farmers with cutting-edge tools, milling equipment, and knowledge about how to grow rice in the most efficient way possible. It may take many years for the region to become self-sufficient, BUT we are taking a step in the right direction!

Our main objective is to find a way out of this dilemma and work towards lasting solutions that will help the people of West Africa and the international rice market. We hope that by collaborating and innovating, West Africa will lessen its reliance on imported rice and establish a more resilient agriculture economy.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 31 : In a groundbreaking announcement, Gloirio, the leading name in premium wall panels, proudly reveals its continued association with Bollywood royalty Kareena Kapoor Khan. Since 2022, Kareena Kapoor Khan, fondly known as Bebo, has been the face of Gloirio, bringing her charm, elegance, and massive fan following to endorse the brand. The renewed collaboration promises to be even more exciting, with a series of stunning advertisements featuring the glamorous actress.

The Brand That Transforms Homes

Gloirio is renowned for its innovative wall panels that elevate home interiors to new heights of elegance and functionality. Whether you’re designing a cozy living room, a sophisticated bedroom, a kitchen with shutter laminates, or a modern office space, Gloirio’s bespoke panels add a touch of luxury that stands unmatched in the market. With thousands of options available, Gloirio ensures every home becomes a personalized masterpiece.

From fire-retardant and waterproof panels to ready-to-use designs suitable for curved surfaces, Gloirio caters to every interior design need. Their products include termite-proof, zero-maintenance, and energy-efficient solutions. Crafted with eco-friendly and sustainable materials, Gloirio’s offerings are durable, easy to install, and come in various styles—from minimalist and industrial to bohemian and mid-century modern. Additionally, Gloirio offers decorative accessories, ceiling panels, and modern furniture to complete your home makeover journey.

Gloirio also caters to commercial spaces with wall panels designed specifically for offices, restaurants, and banquets. These solutions combine style and durability, creating sophisticated interiors that leave a lasting impression.

Kareena Kapoor Khan: The Perfect Brand Advocate

Over the years, Kareena Kapoor Khan’s association with Gloirio has solidified the brand’s position as a household name. Her presence in Gloirio’s campaigns has not only amplified the brand’s visibility but also inspired trust and admiration among audiences. Kareena’s impeccable style and timeless elegance perfectly align with Gloirio’s commitment to sophistication and innovation.

Her latest advertisement for Gloirio features her delivering the catchy and impactful tagline: “Ghar Banaya aur Gloirio Nahi Lagaya?” This memorable line is set to become a staple in conversations about home decor, resonating with anyone seeking quality and elegance in their interiors.

The Founders’ Excitement

The founders of Gloirio couldn’t be more thrilled about this continued partnership. Speaking about the collaboration, Prakash Rita, the visionary behind the brand, shared, “Kareena’s trust in the brand and her ability to connect with people, coupled with her impeccable sense of style, makes her the perfect ambassador for Gloirio. She embodies the brand’s vision of blending luxury with everyday living.”

A Series of Iconic Advertisements

As part of this renewed collaboration, Gloirio has produced a series of captivating advertisements featuring Kareena Kapoor Khan. These campaigns not only highlight the aesthetic appeal of Gloirio’s panels but also showcase the actress’s undeniable charisma. The ads take viewers on a visual journey through stunning home interiors, showcasing products such as designer laminates, backlit panels, cane webbing, and decorative PVC wallpapers.

Why Gloirio Stands Out

1. Unmatched Quality: Known for their durability, elegance, and innovative designs, Gloirio’s panels set the benchmark for quality in the market.
2. Versatility: Gloirio offers a wide range of products, from wall panels and ceiling panels to furniture and decorative accessories, catering to all styles—from minimalist and industrial to bohemian and classic.
3. Eco-Friendly Innovation: With a focus on sustainability, Gloirio uses eco-friendly materials, recycled components, and energy-efficient solutions, ensuring their products are as responsible as they are beautiful.
4. Consumer-Centric Design: Gloirio’s products, such as fire-retardant, waterproof, termite-proof, and zero-maintenance panels, make them a practical choice for every home.
5. Stylish Options: Their range includes floral patterns, geometric shapes, nature-inspired colors, and abstract designs, ensuring every homeowner finds something that resonates with their style.
6. Commercial Appeal: With dedicated products for offices, restaurants, and banquets, Gloirio creates interiors that combine aesthetics with functionality.

A Pan-India Presence

With a robust presence across India, Gloirio continues to lead the market with its innovative offerings. From urban apartments to traditional homes, Gloirio’s products enhance spaces with a touch of elegance and modernity. Their panels and furniture are not just products; they’re a lifestyle statement.

Whether you’re decorating a living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, or even outdoor spaces like patios and gardens, Gloirio’s offerings, including bendable laminates, CNC-finished panels, and natural-look wallpapers, ensure a seamless blend of style and functionality.

Looking Ahead

The renewed partnership between Kareena Kapoor Khan and Gloirio marks a significant milestone in the brand’s journey. With exciting new product launches, such as anti-fingerprint laminates, charcoal panels, and zero-waste designs, Gloirio is poised to redefine interior design trends.

As Kareena continues to bring her star power to Gloirio’s campaigns, the brand is set to further cement its position as the go-to name for premium wall panels and sophisticated interiors. Whether you’re a fan of Kareena Kapoor Khan or someone looking to transform your living spaces, Gloirio’s offerings are sure to impress.

Stay tuned for the latest advertisements and experience the magic of Gloirio’s products, endorsed by none other than the queen of Bollywood herself.

New Delhi [India] : Mohammed Noorul Haq, Founder of Sanali Group is an ambitious and committed businessman who has worked hard to get Sanali ahead of its competitors in no time. Known for his contribution towards rationalizing construction, Noor Haq has continually improved his work standards by going by his customers’ demands and budgetary limitations. Vice President of Andhra Pradesh Builders Association and crowned with several prestigious awards, like the Rashtriya Gaurav Award and Gem of India Award, Mohammad Noorul Haq has taken Sanali to great heights of success while paving the way for a better future for those looking to make successful real estate investments.

Speaking of the Sanali Group, it has become one of the top names in the Indian real estate industry under the able guidance and leadership of Mohammed Noorul Haq. The company is making waves with its innovation in the real estate arena and is widely known for its short construction timelines, quality and efficiency. With prestigious tenants, like CGSL, TekFriday, Vivifi, CWT, ATC India, iKeva, Little Red Zombies and Stefanini Group, the company has rightfully established itself as one of the leading forces in Hyderabad’s real estate market.

The bold vision of its founder and its dedicated team of professionals coupled with expertise and innovation has helped Sanali Group earn a creditable name as one of the most respected and leading builders and promoters in Hyderabad city. Its team, a storehouse of talent leaves no stone unturned in bringing clients the best in real estate. One of the official’s from the company’s construction team recently said, “Our work procedure revolves around the customers bringing them the best through diverse construction projects. We truly understand the trust our customers place with us through their partnerships and therefore we go to great lengths to ensure their trust in us is not misplaced in any circumstances.”

He further added, “We put in our best in providing clients with end-to-end solutions that meet their diverse requirements. Our range of products and services are known for their unmatched service quality and our motto of building it right the first time has helped us create an environment conducive for our growth. We work by the values of quality, integrity and reliability and this is what has helped us deliver the best to our valued customers.”

Sanali Group’s strategic approach to real estate construction in Hyderabad is further strengthened by its business framework of “Buy, Design, Build and Lease/Sell.” This business framework is further supported by constant customer care and complete control on the development process ensuring each property is of impressive quality.

During the Buy phase, the company actively purchases land in the best locations considering factors, like scenic views, infrastructure availability, investment appreciation and proximity to amenities. The Design phase is all about securing development rights and creating designs that represent the company’s luxury brand. During the Build phase, Sanali Group indulges in high quality construction by its highly qualified team internal architects, design professionals and engineers. The Lease or Sell phase is the final step of Sanali’s operational framework during which the company signs agreements with the lessee.

The capability to improve project timelines and provide the best to customers has made Sanali group’s residential and commercial projects the most sought-after solutions in the industry. Its huge clientele reflects the company’s position as an industry innovator and a driver of positive change in India real estate sector.

The mysterious masked artist has captured the imagination of Gen V and Gen Alpha alike, with his chart-topping tracks like Kis Colour Ki Chaddi, Kela Le Lo, and Juice Pila Do sparking frenzy online. But while his music is everywhere, Darinda himself remains an enigma.

The Obsession with Darinda

Darinda’s songs have become instant earworms, inspiring thousands of Instagram reels and dance challenges. Kis Colour Ki Chaddi, his most recent release, has crossed 500 million views, making it one of the biggest viral hits of the year.

The appeal of Darinda’s music lies in its relatability and humor, making it a favorite among the youth. Whether it’s the quirky lyrics, catchy beats, or the sheer fun of his songs, Darinda’s music is the perfect escape for a generation that thrives on meme culture and viral trends.

“I listen to Kela Le Lo on repeat. It’s so funny but also so relatable,” says Riya, a college student in Bandra. “We’ve even made it the theme song for our annual fest!”

A Mystery Wrapped in a Mask

Darinda’s signature mask is fueling endless speculation. Social media is flooded with theories, with fans dissecting every detail of his music videos and public appearances in search of clues.

Some believe Darinda is a Bollywood insider, using the mask to step out of the spotlight and experiment creatively. Others think he’s a completely new artist, supported by a secret team of industry veterans.

“It’s like solving a mystery novel, but with music,” says Aarav, a high schooler from Andheri. “Whoever he is, I’m a fan. The mask just makes it cooler.”

Why Gen V and Alpha Can’t Get Enough

For Gen V and Gen Alpha, Darinda is more than just a musician—he’s a cultural icon. His music taps into the humor, stress, and chaos of everyday life, offering a much-needed dose of fun and lightheartedness.

In an age where attention spans are short and trends fade fast, Darinda’s music sticks. It’s catchy, meme-worthy, and perfect for the digital era. “He knows exactly what we want,” says Kavya, a student at St. Xavier’s College. “His songs are like an instant mood lift.”

The Future of Darinda

As the buzz around Darinda grows, so does the anticipation for his next move. Will he reveal his identity? Will he collaborate with more big names in the industry? Or will he continue to keep fans guessing?

For now, Darinda is letting his music do the talking—and it’s speaking volumes. His songs have not only dominated streaming platforms but also cemented his status as the voice of a generation that values creativity, humor, and a touch of mystery.

The Final Word

Mumbai is hooked, and the question “Who is Darinda?” has become the city’s favorite guessing game. Whether he’s a lone artist or backed by a secret team of industry stalwarts, one thing is certain: Darinda is here to stay, mask and all.

So, the next time you hear the beat drop and the crowd cheer, remember—Darinda could be anyone. But for now, he’s everyone’s favorite masked maestro.

Stay curious, Mumbai—the Darinda story is just getting started.

Dr. Kamaldeep Chawla, Director of Ayushman Heart and Wellness Center & Dr. Akash Kumar Singh, President – Indian Diabetes and Cardiometabolic Association highlighted: “Genesutra represents a new era in patient care. With advanced genomic insights, we can move beyond treating symptoms to addressing the root causes of chronic diseases, ensuring each patient receives the most personalized and effective care possible.”

Dr. Kamaldeep Chawla &  Dr. Akash Kumar Singh further added, “Any adult can inherit a serious health risk. This risk of future health issues is not visible and cannot be determined by any other type of investigation. We encourage all adults to get tested so they can have peace of mind and more control over their health in the future. Even if one is at high risk, regular monitoring and relevant lifestyle changes can help prevent the onset of many dreaded diseases, such as Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), Diabetes, and some forms of cancer. These tests can predict your future health based on your unique genetic makeup, which ordinary biochemical tests cannot do.”

The Guinness World Records officially recognized this achievement, making Suneet Haran the first person ever to weave so many languages into a single song.

The journey to this ground-breaking achievement was definitely not easy. Suneet had to immerse himself in each language, not only learning how to pronounce them correctly but also understanding their cultural nuances. “It was more than just singing in different languages,” he explains. “The challenge was immense, but it pushed me to innovate in ways I never thought possible.”

As the first person to incorporate 398 languages into a song, Suneet has broken new ground, becoming a pioneer in the world of music. Suneet faced many challenges in his journey, but the path of a pioneer is never smooth, and neither was his.

Since its inception in 1955, Guinness World Records has been the world’s authority on record-breaking achievements, and Suneet’s accomplishment is no exception. Being recognized by Guinness World Records is a monumental achievement in itself.

When asked how it feels to be tagged ‘Officially Amazing’ by the Guinness World Records, Suneet responds with a smile, “It feels surreal. I’ve dreamed of this since I was a child. I believe setting a World Record is one of the greatest achievements for any human being. And finally holding the Guinness World Record certificate in my hands was an unforgettable and fulfilling moment.”

This historic feat has brought immense pride for the country, as Suneet Haran’s achievement showcases India’s extraordinary talent on a global platform such as Guinness World Records.

Suneet Haran’s musical journey has been marked by years of live performances, both in India and internationally, and he continues to evolve as an artist. He is currently working on new music singles that are set to be released soon.

In a career spanning over four decades, Venugopal K. Thakker has witnessed
and shaped the evolution of Indian cinema and television. From shooting films
on celluloid to exploring the possibilities of digital special effects, Thakker has
seamlessly navigated the changing tides of technology, always staying ahead of
the curve.

Thakker’s journey began at the prestigious Film and Television Institute of
India (FTII), Pune, where he honed his skills as a cinematographer under the
tutelage of industry legends. It was here that he learned the delicate interplay
between light, shadow, and storytelling—a foundation that would define his
career.

“My early years were spent understanding the language of cinema,” Thakker
shares. “Every frame was a canvas, and every project was an opportunity to
paint a story.”

He started his professional journey working on feature films like Rangula Kala,
which won a National Award, and collaborating with stalwarts such as Shyam
Benegal and Basu Chatterjee.

The advent of video and digital technology in India coincided with Thakker’s
ascent in the industry. Where others saw disruption, he saw opportunity.
Thakker quickly adapted to the changing medium, setting up state-of-the-art
production and post-production facilities under PROVIDEO Mumbai.
“Technology is the great equalizer in filmmaking,” Thakker explains. “It allows
us to bring imagination to life, unburdened by traditional constraints.”

This adaptability enabled him to produce content across formats—short films,
documentaries, television serials, and commercials—each reflecting his mastery
of both the art and the tools of filmmaking.

Thakker’s foray into special effects and digital techniques marked a turning
point in his career. From creating compelling TV commercials like those for
TVS Suzuki and Hawkins Futura to directing visually enriched television
dramas, Thakker’s projects showcased how technology could be wielded
creatively.

“Special effects are not about dazzling the audience—they’re about enhancing
the story,” he emphasizes.

This philosophy is evident in his work on series like Soniyacha Umbara and
Manthan, where visual techniques served the narrative, not the other way
around.

Thakker’s work has taken him around the world, exposing him to the best
studios and practices in countries like the United States, the United Kingdom,
and Japan. This global exposure has enriched his perspective, allowing him to
incorporate international standards into Indian storytelling.

“My travels taught me that while the tools might change, the core of storytelling
remains universal,” Thakker reflects.

With an impressive collection of accolades, Thakker’s career is a testament to
his dedication. From National Awards to international recognition at film
festivals, his achievements span genres and mediums.

“Tobacco Habits & Oral Cancer,” a hard-hitting educational film, earned him a National Award in 1977, while his sports documentary Advantage Amritraj was
lauded at an international film festival in Panama. “Every recognition is a milestone, but it’s the audience’s reaction that truly validates the work,” he says.
Versatility Across Genres Thakker’s creative versatility has seen him traverse a wide array of genres, from historical series like Itihas Ke Gawah to food and travel shows such as Khadya

Bhramanti. Each project brought its own challenges, yet he embraced them with
enthusiasm. “Switching genres keeps you sharp,” Thakker says. “It forces you to rethink your approach with every new story.” Pioneering Web and Digital Narratives

Looking to the future, Thakker is exploring new frontiers in storytelling,
including web series and virtual production. His vision is to harness the
potential of emerging platforms while staying true to his narrative roots.
“The digital age has democratized content creation,” Thakker observes. “It’s
an exciting time to experiment and reach audiences globally.”

Throughout his career, Thakker has emphasized the importance of teamwork.
His collaborations with renowned directors and talented crews have resulted in
some of Indian television’s most memorable content. “Filmmaking is not a solitary pursuit. It’s the collective passion of many that brings a vision to life,” he asserts.

As Venugopal K. Thakker reflects on his remarkable journey, his story stands
as a source of inspiration for aspiring filmmakers. His ability to balance
tradition with innovation has set a benchmark in Indian cinema and television.
“For me, the greatest achievement is not just the awards or the accolades,”
Thakker says. “It’s knowing that my work has touched lives and created lasting
memories.”

In an industry defined by constant evolution, Thakker remains a stalwart,
proving that with vision and adaptability, the art of storytelling can thrive
across generations.

New Delhi [India], December 12 : At just 21 years old, Paul Jeevanesan, a mechanical engineering graduate from Chennai, is transforming the way India interacts with artificial intelligence. His startup, StudAI Edutech, has launched StudAI Genie—an all-in-one AI platform designed to boost productivity and simplify life. With over 350+ tools, the platform provides customised AI solutions tailored to meet users’ unique needs, empowering individuals in all aspects of their daily and professional lives. Importantly, it is accessible to millions of Indians, including those in the most remote areas.

In just 100 days, StudAI Genie has attracted over 1,100 active users—all without spending a single rupee on advertising or paid promotions. The platform’s user-first design and word-of-mouth referrals have fueled its rapid rise, making it one of the most promising tech innovations in India.

Revolutionizing AI Access: A Phone Call Away

Imagine accessing professional services—whether it’s legal advice, medical consultations, loan planning, parenting coaching, nutrition advice, or even astrology consultations—just by picking up a phone. That’s what StudAI Genie offers.

Using AI-powered voice assistants, the platform connects users to specialised consultants on a wide range of topics. From lawyers to doctors, mechanics, nutritionists, and even loan planners, StudAI Genie is designed to offer personalised, affordable consultations—no Internet required.

“We’re not just building another AI platform,” says Jeevanesan. “We’re creating a reliable, accessible ecosystem where AI can solve real-world problems for everyone.”

The response has been overwhelming. In just 10 days after launching its first workshop, the platform attracted 5,017 registrations—a testament to the demand for AI-powered services that go beyond the tech-savvy crowd.

Empowering Rural India: AI for the Masses

One of the standout features of StudAI Genie is its focus on rural India. Paul Jeevanesan is determined to ensure that AI is not just an urban privilege. His goal is to empower rural populations with affordable access to professional services they typically lack, using voice-driven AI and prepaid service cards.

These prepaid cards—available in local shops, malls, and even village kiosks—allow users to access AI consultations for as low as ₹20. Whether it’s seeking advice from a doctor, lawyer, or nutritionist, StudAI Genie makes professional services accessible to all at a fraction of the cost of traditional platforms. The platform also offers a monthly subscription starting at ₹250 for more regular use.

Despite challenges like digital literacy and network connectivity in remote areas, Jeevanesan is confident. “With StudAI Genie’s simple voice interface, we’re making AI something anyone can use, no matter their device or internet access,” he says.

This mission reflects the vision of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, former President of India, who believed that technology should uplift the common man, especially in rural India. StudAI Genie is embodying Dr Kalam’s vision by making AI available to all, especially in India’s underserved communities.

Powered by Student Innovation: A New Generation of Problem Solvers

What truly sets StudAI Genie apart is its foundation in student-driven innovation. Developed by students from various colleges in Tamil Nadu, the platform highlights young Indian talent tackling real-world challenges.

By empowering students to develop cutting-edge AI tools, Paul Jeevanesan is nurturing the next generation of innovators. Thanks to strategic partnerships with tech giants like Microsoft, Google, and Cloudflare, the platform has the tech infrastructure needed to scale effectively.

“The future of AI isn’t just about building tech,” says Jeevanesan. “It’s about creating tools that empower people.”

Addressing Challenges: AI Accuracy and Market Competition

While StudAI Genie shows immense promise, it faces several challenges. Ensuring AI accuracy—especially in specialised sectors like healthcare and law—is crucial. Maintaining high-quality, reliable AI outputs are key to building user trust.

Moreover, StudAI Genie competes with giants like JustDial and IndiaMART, which connect users to service providers. However, StudAI Genie’s hybrid AI-human model offers a distinct advantage: it combines AI-driven assistance with human expertise to provide more accurate, personalised consultations. This hybrid approach ensures fast, reliable responses without the delays of traditional platforms.

Scalability is another concern. As StudAI Genie expands nationwide, ensuring the platform’s infrastructure can handle increased user loads while maintaining service quality will be crucial. Investment in technology and human resources will be necessary to support this growth.

A Brand Built on Trust: The Power of Organic Growth

One of the most remarkable aspects of StudAI Genie’s growth is that it has been entirely organic—driven by user trust and recommendations. The platform has not spent any money on advertisements, proving the demand for simple, effective AI solutions.

“In just a few months, we’ve seen thousands of people signing up and using the platform,” says Jeevanesan. “This shows there’s a real need for AI-powered services that are easy to access, affordable, and relevant.”

What makes StudAI Genie so compelling is its human-centred approach. Whether it’s helping a farmer find a mechanic or a mother seeking advice from a doctor, StudAI Genie offers practical solutions to everyday problems, proving that AI can improve lives.

Looking Ahead: A Vision for India’s Digital Future

StudAI Genie is just getting started. The platform plans to expand nationwide, starting with Tamil Nadu and later scaling to other regions.

By providing AI-powered consultations, StudAI Genie has the potential to transform how Indians access essential services, from healthcare to education and business. However, scaling the platform will require overcoming challenges like AI accuracy in specialised sectors.

Still, with its unique blend of AI and human expertise, StudAI Genie is positioned to disrupt India’s digital ecosystem. Whether providing immediate solutions or empowering rural communities, StudAI Genie is set to play a major role in shaping India’s digital future.

Disrupting the Market: A Model for the Future

As StudAI Genie grows, it’s poised to disrupt traditional service models like JustDial and IndiaMART, which rely on human intermediaries to connect users with service providers. By integrating AI-powered consultations, StudAI Genie offers a direct, cost-effective alternative, cutting out the need for middlemen. The platform’s hybrid AI-human model provides an efficient service that sets it apart from competitors.

“StudAI Genie isn’t just about delivering AI-driven services; it’s about changing how people access essential services—making AI practical, effective, and accessible to everyone,” says Paul Jeevanesan.

A Young Visionary Leading the Charge

For a young entrepreneur who started this journey before turning 21, Paul Jeevanesan’s vision is about more than just business. It’s about creating a paradigm shift in how India—and the world—interact with technology. As StudAI Genie evolves, Jeevanesan proves that with the right combination of innovation, accessibility, and social purpose, AI can be a tool that transforms lives.

With its unmatched potential to reach the masses and solve real-world problems, StudAI Genie is poised to become a pivotal force in India’s digital revolution.

New Delhi [India], December 10 : When it comes to skincare innovations, few products manage to strike the perfect balance between advanced science and effective results. The e’clat Eternal Bright Glutathione Serum, curated by the renowned e’clat Skin Institute, is one such example. This science backed product harnesses the power of nature’s finest brightening agents, and CEO of e’clat Skin Institute Mr. Deepank Gupta delves into its remarkable benefits for achieving radiant, even-toned skin.

What’s the Science behind Glutathione?

At the heart of this most trending skincare ingredient is Glutathione, a powerful antioxidant naturally present in our bodies. Its primary role is to protect cells from oxidative stress while regulating melanin production—the pigment responsible for skin tone. Applied topically, glutathione offers targeted benefits:

• Brightening the skin by inhibiting excess melanin synthesis.
• Delivering a radiant, youthful glow through cellular repair.
• Reducing dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

The Unique Blend of Ingredients in Eternal Bright

The brilliance of this product lies in its formulation. The e’clat Skin Institute has combined glutathione with scientifically validated ingredients to deliver superior results:

1. Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid):

A renowned antioxidant that reduces dullness and boosts collagen production.

Protects against free radicals and enhances skin brightness.

2. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3):

Balances oil production and minimizes pore appearance.

Strengthens the skin barrier, making it resilient to environmental damage.

3. Alpha Arbutin:

A natural brightening agent derived from plants, known for reducing melanin synthesis.

Gently fades spots, scars, and discoloration without irritation.

4. Hydrating Carriers and Penetrative Technology:

Ensures the serum penetrates deeply into the skin layers, delivering active ingredients exactly where they’re needed.

What Makes This Product a Game-Changer?

According to Mr. Deepank Gupta, the serum and cream aren’t just about superficial improvements—they work on a deeper level to address multiple skin concerns. Whether it’s uneven texture, discoloration, or loss of elasticity, this duo tackles it all.

• Fades Stubborn Pigmentation: Glutathione and alpha Arbutin reduce melanin activity to fade dark spots and brighten overall skin tone.
• Improves Skin Texture: Vitamin C and niacinamide repair and rejuvenate the skin, giving it a smoother and healthier appearance.
• Protects Against Future Damage: The antioxidant properties safeguard the skin from environmental aggressors like pollution and UV rays.

Why Trust the Expertise of e’clat Skin Institute?

As pioneers in advanced skincare formulations, the e’clat Skin Institute is committed to creating products backed by science. The Eternal Bright Glutathione Serum exemplifies this mission, combining potent natural ingredients with clinical-grade precision.

Affordable Skincare, Unmatched Quality

The Eternal Bright Glutathione Serum offers a luxurious skincare experience at an affordable price. At just ₹795 for 50 ml, it’s accessible through Amazon, Flipkart, and Myntra—making it easier than ever to embrace radiant skin.

How to Use E’clat Eternal Bright Glutathione Serum for Best Results
To maximize its effectiveness, Mr. Deepank Gupta recommends the following regimen:

• Cleanse Thoroughly: Start with a clean face to remove dirt and oil.
• Apply the Serum: Dispense 2-3 drops onto your palms and gently massage into your face and neck.
• Follow with the Cream: Seal in the serum’s active ingredients with a thin layer of cream.
• Sun Protection is a Must: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day to shield your skin from UV damage.

For optimal results, use this skincare duo twice daily.

How Does Science Back Its Claims?
Clinical studies on the active ingredients show significant improvements with consistent use:

A visible reduction in pigmentation and dark spots within 8-12 weeks.
Enhanced skin elasticity and smoothness.
A brighter complexion with diminished dullness.

Final Thoughts from Mr. Deepank Gupta

Skincare expert Mr. Deepank Gupta emphasizes the unique appeal of the Eternal Bright line: “This isn’t just another product on the shelf. It’s a scientifically validated, result-driven solution for anyone seeking to transform their skin. With its unique blend of glutathione, vitamin C, niacinamide, and alpha Arbutin, this serum and cream deliver everything your skin needs for a brighter, healthier future.”

Your Glow Journey Starts Here

Don’t wait to achieve the skin you’ve always dreamed of. Backed by science and trusted by experts, the E’clat Eternal Bright Glutathione Serum and Cream offer a simple, effective solution for luminous, even-toned skin.

This secondary capital transaction reflects strong confidence in the company’s vision and impact. As part of the transaction, existing investors Summit Partners, Noshaq, and Wallonie Entreprendre are selling a portion of their shares; Summit will remain Odoo’s largest institutional shareholder.

• Odoo’s goal is to reach 1,052,190,000,28$ in billings by 2027
• Projected billings in the next 12 months = 683M$
• Summit/Noshaq/Wallonie Entreprendre are selling some of their stakes in Odoo to CapitalG/Sequoia/etc
• They invest in Odoo but by purchasing shares of others

This major transaction underscores Odoo’s leadership position in the SMB software ecosystem and strong, profitable financial profile. It also highlights the company’s continued momentum in reshaping the business software landscape with innovative, accessible solutions for companies worldwide.

In short :

• This $526 million investment marks the latest round of third-party investment, underscoring sustained investor confidence in the company’s growth trajectory.
• With this investment round, Odoo’s valuation has risen to €5 billion, reflecting the company’s rapid profitable growth and market leadership, even amid a challenging economic landscape.

Since its founding in April 2002, Odoo S.A. has been dedicated to developing and continuously enhancing a comprehensive suite of management software applications for small and mid-sized businesses. Today, with over 13 million users and currently adding more than 7,000 new clients each month, Odoo has built a strong presence in the industry.

Odoo S.A. has achieved sustained annual growth of 40% and is projected to exceed $683 million in billings within the next 12 months, with a target of reaching €1 billion in billings by 2027.
