There’s something timeless about gold. For generations, it has symbolized security and wealth. Today, in the financial world, it is also becoming a powerful lending asset.

But turning gold into a structured and scalable business is not simple. It takes expertise. It takes systems. And most importantly, it takes vision.

That’s exactly what Liril Thomas Rajan brings to the table.

With a career spanning over two decades, LTR has built deep expertise in gold loan operations. From working with leading gold finance companies to now running Mannil Exim, his journey reflects a consistent focus on improving how gold lending works.

What makes his story interesting is how he connects traditional financial practices with modern strategies.

Gold loans may seem straightforward on the surface. A customer pledges gold and receives credit. But behind that simplicity lies a complex system of valuation, risk management, compliance, and customer service.

LTR understands these layers better than most.

Through Mannil Exim, he now helps banks and NBFCs build strong gold loan portfolios. His approach is not just about growth but about building systems that last.

Another interesting aspect of his work is his focus on people. He actively supports training and recruitment in the gold banking sector, working with MBA colleges to prepare students for careers in financial services.

He also believes in innovation. The push toward 14-carat gold lending is a great example of how the industry can adapt to changing customer needs while maintaining structure.

As the financial world evolves, secured lending is becoming more important. And within that space, gold loans are gaining renewed attention.

In this changing landscape, professionals like LTR are helping shape the future.

Founder Urjaa Mishra spent months studying base metals and coating technology before launching Zhianka. Here's what she found, and why it matters

The most interesting sentence on Zhianka's 'Our Story' page is not about childhood memories or the meaning of the brand's Odia name. It is this: I spent months studying materials science, understanding base metals, coating thickness, and plating technologies, before choosing 18K gold PVD coated stainless steel.

For a brand built on sentiment, on the rekindling of girlhood, on the soft pull of memory, this is a remarkably technical statement. It is also, on reflection, the most important one. Because a jewellery brand that promises emotional resonance and everyday wearability can only keep that promise if the physical object can hold up to the life it is being asked to be part of. Pieces that tarnish, fade, or irritate skin after a few wears don't inspire nostalgia. They inspire mild disappointment.

Urjaa Mishra, founder of Zhianka, comes from a consulting and market research background. Before launching the brand, she held roles at 1Lattice and Teachmint. When she turned that analytical rigour toward the question of what her jewellery should be made of, she did not shortcut the process.

Why Stainless Steel?

The default choice for affordable fashion jewellery in India has historically been brass, inexpensive, easy to work with, and readily available. The problem with brass is well-known to anyone who has watched a favourite piece turn their wrist green or fade after a few months of regular wear. Brass oxidises readily, reacts with moisture and skin chemistry, and its electroplated gold finishes tend to be thin enough that daily use wears them through quickly. The result is jewellery that simply cannot live up to the promise of being worn every day.

Urjaa chose medical-grade stainless steel, specifically grades 304 and 316, depending on the piece, as the base material for Zhianka's entire range. Stainless steel is significantly harder than brass, meaning it holds its shape under daily wear conditions. It is highly resistant to corrosion and oxidisation, making it the foundation of genuinely waterproof jewellery that can be worn in the shower, through a gym session, or during a sweaty Indian summer without fear of damage.

Grade 316 in particular, sometimes called surgical steel or surgical-grade steel, contains molybdenum, which provides additional resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, relevant for a piece worn in warm, humid conditions. Crucially, stainless steel is also highly biocompatible and hypoallergenic, making it genuinely suitable for sensitive skin. For a brand positioning its jewellery as something to be worn every day for years, this matters considerably more than it might for an occasional piece.

The PVD Difference

If stainless steel is Zhianka's structural choice, PVD coating is its finishing philosophy, and it is the detail that separates the brand most meaningfully from the bulk of the everyday gold jewellery market.

PVD stands for Physical Vapor Deposition. Unlike traditional electroplating, which deposits metal ions from a solution onto a surface, a process that can leave relatively thin, mechanically weak layers that chip and fade quickly, PVD is a vacuum-based process in which the coating material is vaporised and then condensed directly onto the substrate at an atomic level. The result is a coating that bonds more tightly to the base metal, achieves greater hardness, and resists abrasion, fading, and scratching far more effectively than conventional gold plating.

Zhianka uses 18K gold PVD coating across its range. The 18K specification means the gold layer has the warm, rich tone of eighteen-carat gold rather than the sometimes-flat appearance of lower-carat plating. Combined with PVD's superior adhesion properties, this produces jewellery the brand correctly describes as water-resistant, anti-tarnish, and built for daily wear, claims backed by the underlying technology rather than mere marketing language.

"I wanted these pieces to be more than emotional; I wanted them to last. To be worn daily. To grow with you.", Urjaa Mishra

Charms, Components, and Colour

Zhianka's collection includes a significant number of charm pieces, the tiffin boxes, the miniature kitchen sets, the little beetles and pocket gardens, that require more than just metal and coating to achieve their effect. Colour, texture, and fine detail are essential to the nostalgic specificity that makes these pieces work. The brand is transparent about this: while the primary structure of most Zhianka charms is stainless steel with 18K PVD coating, some designs incorporate additional materials to achieve specific colours, textures, or intricate details, carefully selected to balance aesthetic expression with everyday wearability.

This is an honest and sensible position. A charm necklace featuring a miniature kaccha aam in vivid green has different material requirements from a clean gold chain. Zhianka acknowledges the complexity of its product range without hiding behind vague premium language. What remains constant across every piece is the commitment to the anti-tarnish, skin-safe standard that makes daily wear genuinely possible.

The Everyday Promise

The practical upshot of all of this research is a line of products that are water-resistant, gentle on skin, and durable for daily wear. The brand is careful not to overclaim, no jewellery is indestructible, the materials page notes, but it sets a materially different standard of intent from most jewellery in its price range.

At a time when brands often prioritize scale over sentiment, Sooper offers a story rooted in something far more meaningful,love, and genuine connection. Founded by Siddhi Kulkarni, Sooper is not just about pet accessories; it is about celebrating the silent, powerful bond between pets and their humans.

The brand traces its origins back to the COVID-19 lockdown, a period that encouraged introspection and creativity. For Siddhi, this phase became an opportunity to express her affection for her dogs, Simba and Cooper. What began as a small, personal creative outlet soon found resonance among pet parents who were drawn to the sincerity and warmth behind her work. Without a structured business plan, Sooper grew organically,built on authentic connections rather than aggressive expansion. 

What distinguishes Sooper in a crowded market is the philosophy that drives it. Siddhi, who is currently pursuing a degree in counselling psychology, brings a unique lens to the brand. Her academic background allows her to understand emotional attachment and companionship at a deeper level. She views pets not merely as companions, but as emotional anchors,beings that offer comfort, stability, and unconditional support. This perspective shapes the very essence of Sooper, making it a brand that connects emotionally rather than transactionally. 

Another defining influence in Siddhi’s journey is her experience working with children. This has heightened her sensitivity to non-verbal communication, trust, and emotional safety qualities that closely mirror how animals express themselves. By recognizing these parallels, Siddhi ensures that every Sooper product reflects care, softness, and understanding. From the materials chosen to the overall design approach, the brand embodies a sense of gentleness that resonates deeply with its audience. 

As Sooper evolved, it became clear that its appeal extended beyond its products. Customers connected with the story, the intention, and the emotional depth that the brand represented. In an industry often dominated by functionality and trends, Sooper carved a niche by focusing on feelings,on what pets mean to people and how that relationship can be honored through thoughtful design.

Today, Sooper continues to expand its reach while staying grounded in its original values. Siddhi envisions the brand as more than a business,it is a space where pets are acknowledged as individuals, and where their relationships with humans are celebrated with authenticity and care. Every step forward is guided by a commitment to empathy, ensuring that growth never comes at the cost of meaning.

In many ways, Sooper challenges the conventional definition of a brand. It proves that success does not always begin with strategy; sometimes, it begins with something as simple as love for one’s pets. Through her journey, Siddhi Kulkarni has created not just a company, but a community,one that values connection, understanding, and the quiet joy of companionship.

Sooper is a reminder that the most impactful ideas often come from the heart,and when they do, they have the power to create something truly lasting.

Every time we step onto the road, we make choices. Some are small, like wearing a seatbelt. Others are bigger, like deciding not to overspeed. But together, these choices define how safe our roads really are.

Project Dhurandhar is built on this very idea. It is not just a road safety campaign, it is a movement that encourages people to take responsibility for their actions.

Started by Dr Saurabh Talekar and a team of passionate professionals, the initiative focuses on changing behaviour, not just spreading awareness. Because knowing the rules is one thing, following them is another.

What makes this initiative different is how it connects with people. Through workshops in colleges, workplaces, and communities, it creates a space for honest conversations. Participants hear real stories from medical professionals who deal with accident cases every day.

These are not distant statistics. They are real lives, real families, and real consequences.

At the end of each session, participants take a Road Safety Pledge. It is a simple step, but a powerful one. It turns awareness into commitment.

The initiative also encourages people to use digital tools like the Maharashtra Traffic Police App, making it easier to report violations and support safer roads.

Behind the scenes, a diverse team drives this movement forward. From doctors like Dr Lester Pereira and Dr Chinmay Kulkarni to public figures like Eshika Dey, each member brings a unique perspective. Supporting strong grassroots efforts is Mr Ghanshyam Parab, a passionate social worker focused on community level awareness.

There are educators, medical experts, and community leaders, all working towards a common goal, safer roads for everyone.

What stands out is the growing community of Dhurandhars. These are individuals who choose to lead by example. They follow rules, encourage others, and become ambassadors of road safety awareness.

In a world where change often feels complicated, Project Dhurandhar reminds us that it can start with something as simple as a decision.

A decision to slow down. A decision to follow rules. A decision to care.

Because safer roads are not built overnight. They are built every day, by people like you.

In industries like cement, steel, and building materials, scale alone does not guarantee success. Transforming businesses requires more than vision; it requires clarity, discipline, and the ability to deliver results quickly. Over the past 28 years, Abinash Mishra has built a reputation as a leader of authority in the Building Material Segment who turns underperforming businesses into high-performance organizations.

Moving Beyond Strategy to Execution

Mishra's leadership stands out because of his strong focus on execution. At a large-scale listed building materials enterprise, where he served as CEO, he led the transformation of a ₹2,000+ crore enterprise. Under his leadership, the organization achieved record-breaking quarterly revenue through practical changes in pricing strategy, channel structure, and product positioning.

Delivering Growth with Control

Growth without control often leads to instability. Mishra's approach ensures that growth is both rapid and sustainable. At a TMT rebar manufacturer, he transformed a ₹3,000 crore business by doubling its revenue from ₹1,666 crore to ₹3,100 crore in under two financial years.

At the same time, he improved profitability, enhanced sales efficiency, and strengthened the company's market positioning. By aligning commercial strategy with operational discipline, Mishra ensures that expansion does not come at the expense of long-term stability.

Creating Long-Term Business Engines

A defining feature of Mishra's career is his ability to create business verticals that continue to deliver value over time. At the world’s greenest cement manufacturer, he built the institutional B2B business from scratch, scaling it from ₹22 crore to ₹1,600 crore.

Earlier, at India’s most respected cement organizations, he developed distribution networks and demand-generation ecosystems that remained effective long after implementation. This includes scaling Microfine Cement and GGBFS to become national standards for high-grade concrete applications.

A Clear and Repeatable Leadership Approach

Mishra's effectiveness comes from a leadership approach that is both simple and consistent:

Strengthen the commercial foundation of the business.

Improve execution discipline across teams.

Build leadership capability to sustain growth.

Adapting to a Changing Industry Landscape

Mishra has actively aligned himself with the industry's shift toward data-driven decision-making. As a PhD scholar at IIT Patna, he is working on AI-driven demand forecasting models. He has already successfully deployed AI-based predictive tools in the regional steel segment to forecast retail sales with precision, building stronger loyalty among partners.

Investing in People and Leadership

Strong businesses are built on strong leadership teams. Mishra has mentored more than 12 leaders who now head businesses exceeding ₹500 crore. His emphasis on ownership and accountability creates teams that are capable of delivering results independently.

A Leader for the Next Phase of Growth

Something meaningful is happening in the world of education and wellness, and it’s coming from a purpose-driven organization, BrandMe Institute of Training and Wellness.

Founded by Priya Fatima Almeida, the institute recently received the Indian Eminence Award 2026. But that’s not all. In a major step forward, it has also been officially registered and recognized by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.

This isn’t just a formality. It’s a big moment.

Because it means that the work BrandMe has been doing for years empowering women, training educators, and promoting holistic learning is now backed by formal recognition at a national level.

What makes BrandMe stand out is its belief that education should feel human. Not just exams and grades, but life skills, emotional strength, and confidence.

The institute focuses on Montessori teacher training aligned with NEP 2020, while also addressing often-ignored areas like mental health, fitness, and environmental awareness.

Another powerful aspect is its focus on women empowerment through skill development. It creates real opportunities for women to restart careers and build independence.

With the new MCA recognition, BrandMe is stepping into a phase where it can scale its impact even further. More collaborations, more reach, and more lives touched.

The award was recognition. The registration is momentum.

Being miles away from home should not mean losing control over your legal rights. Yet, for many NRIs, dealing with property or legal matters in India often becomes stressful and uncertain.

This is where NRI Legal Services steps in as a reliable bridge between overseas Indians and the Indian legal system.

With over 25 years of expertise, the firm has dedicated itself to solving legal challenges specifically for NRIs. From property disputes to inheritance issues, their services are designed to make complex situations manageable.

One of the biggest challenges NRIs face is the inability to travel frequently to India. Recognizing this, the firm has built a system that allows clients to handle everything remotely while staying fully informed.

Their services cover a wide range of needs, including title search, property transfer, family law, tax matters, and litigation support. Each case is approached with a deep understanding of both legal requirements and client concerns.

Behind the scenes, a network of experienced lawyers across India works collaboratively to ensure that every case receives the attention it deserves. This strong legal backbone enables the firm to deliver consistent results across different regions.

But beyond services, what truly defines the firm is its commitment to transparency and empathy. Legal matters can be emotionally draining, especially when handled from a distance. The team ensures that clients feel supported at every step.

Their structured approach, combined with advanced communication systems, ensures that clients are never left in the dark. Regular updates and clear processes make the entire experience smooth and stress-free.

In today’s global world, where borders are no longer barriers, the need for reliable legal support for NRIs has never been greater. NRI Legal Services is helping redefine how legal assistance is delivered across continents.

In a time when professional success is often celebrated through metrics like revenue,

promotions, and rapid scaling, a deeper question is beginning to surface—are individuals truly equipped to handle the pressure that comes with that success? Addressing this critical concern is Sreejit Pillai, Founder & CEO of Mentora, a platform that is reshaping how growth is understood in the modern world by placing equal emphasis on performance and emotional well-being.

Sreejit Pillai brings with him over nine years of experience across marketing strategy, business consulting, and entrepreneurship. His career began in the high-energy environment of sales and marketing, where he developed a strong foundation in consumer psychology and brand positioning. However, his journey took a meaningful turn as he began working closely with individuals and startups, uncovering a consistent pattern—people were achieving milestones, yet struggling internally with clarity, confidence, and resilience.

This realization became a defining moment. Sreejit recognized that while industries and opportunities were evolving rapidly, individuals were often left without the tools to manage the emotional and psychological demands of that evolution. Instead of continuing to focus solely on external growth strategies, he shifted his attention toward building a more balanced, human-centered approach to development.

Over the years, Sreejit has mentored more than 5,000 students and professionals across the globe. His mentorship goes beyond traditional frameworks, addressing not just career decisions but also the underlying thought processes and emotional barriers that influence those decisions.

Whether it is helping someone overcome self-doubt, find direction, or build confidence, his approach is rooted in practical insight combined with deep empathy.

Simultaneously, his work with early-stage startups has allowed him to contribute to business growth at a strategic level. By guiding founders through critical decision-making stages, refining their market positioning, and helping them navigate uncertainty, Sreejit has played an important role in shaping sustainable business journeys. His ability to integrate business strategy with emotional intelligence has made his guidance particularly valuable in today’s unpredictable environment.

It is this unique combination of experiences that led to the creation of Mentora.

Co-founded by Sreejit Pillai along with Sweta Bag and Pranav Menon, Mentora was built with a clear and ambitious vision—to bridge the gap between career development and emotional resilience. The platform recognizes that true success cannot be achieved through skills alone; it requires a strong internal foundation that supports individuals through challenges, setbacks, and Mentora is designed as a holistic ecosystem that integrates mentorship, counselling, and practical learning into a single framework. Its programs span key areas such as mental wellness, soft skills, career readiness, and leadership development. By bringing these elements together, the platform ensures that individuals are not only prepared for opportunities but are also capable of sustaining their progress over time.

One of Mentora’s defining strengths lies in its adaptability and scalability. The platform works closely with educational institutions, startups, and corporate organizations, embedding its programs within their systems. This approach allows Mentora to reach individuals at different stages of their journey, offering consistent and structured support that evolves with their needs.

In academic environments, Mentora helps students gain clarity about their career paths while building the confidence to pursue them. Within corporate settings, it focuses on enhancing leadership capabilities and emotional resilience, enabling professionals to perform effectively under pressure. For startups, the platform provides a blend of strategic guidance and personal development, helping founders navigate both business and personal challenges.

At the core of Mentora’s philosophy is the belief that growth is a continuous and deeply personal process. Its guiding principle, “Grow through what you go through,” reflects a commitment to helping individuals embrace their experiences—both positive and challenging—as opportunities for development. Rather than avoiding difficulties, Mentora encourages individuals to engage with them, learn from them, and emerge stronger.

This philosophy is particularly relevant in today’s fast-changing world, where uncertainty has become the norm. By equipping individuals with the tools to adapt, reflect, and respond effectively, Mentora is fostering a generation that is not only skilled but also resilient and self-aware.

Looking ahead, Sreejit Pillai envisions Mentora as a long-term ecosystem that continues to evolve alongside the needs of individuals and organizations. His goal is to create a space where growth is not defined by external validation alone, but by a deeper sense of clarity, purpose, and

balance.

As conversations around mental wellness and leadership continue to gain importance, Mentora stands out as a platform that offers both awareness and action. By combining strategic thinking with emotional intelligence, it provides a model for sustainable growth that is both practical and human-centered.

As artificial intelligence continues to reshape industries across the globe, a new generation of founders is stepping forward with a focus not just on innovation, but on real-world application. Among them is 20-year-old Omkar Kumbhar, founder of AltoStudio, a company dedicated to helping operations-heavy businesses transition from manual processes to intelligent, AI-powered systems.

While much of the AI conversation today revolves around tools and trends, AltoStudio takes a more grounded approach. The company focuses on building structured systems that integrate directly into business workflows, enabling organizations to move beyond fragmented automation and toward long-term operational efficiency. The goal is not just to save time, but to fundamentally improve how businesses function at their core.

Omkar’s journey began early, driven by curiosity about how businesses operate. At 16, he was already studying case studies and exploring technologies like web development and artificial intelligence. However, it was only after entering college in Pune that he actively immersed himself in entrepreneurship. He attended startup events, connected with founders, and sought hands-on experience across different roles.

A key learning moment came during his first sales internship, where he realized that building a great product is only part of the equation understanding how to sell and position it is equally critical. This insight shaped his approach moving forward, pushing him to focus not just on technology, but on solving practical business problems.

Through internships and freelance work, Omkar gained exposure to multiple industries including IT, e-commerce, healthcare, and marketing. This experience helped him identify a recurring issue: many businesses, particularly in traditional sectors, still rely heavily on manual processes. From data entry to documentation and internal workflows, these inefficiencies often slow down growth and limit scalability.

The turning point came during an AI automation internship, where he saw firsthand how intelligent systems could streamline operations. He realized that while the technology already exists, its implementation is often lacking. This gap between available capability and actual adoption became the foundation for AltoStudio.

Instead of offering generic automation solutions, AltoStudio builds customized AI systems tailored to specific business needs. These include AI agents for repetitive tasks, workflow automation tools, and internal platforms designed to improve efficiency. By embedding AI directly into operations, the company enables tasks like proposal creation, reporting, and communication to be completed significantly faster.

One of AltoStudio’s ongoing projects involves working with a healthcare client in Pune to digitize and automate their operations. By developing a web-based platform and integrating AI-driven workflows, the company is helping reduce manual dependency while improving overall efficiency.

What distinguishes AltoStudio is its long-term perspective. Rather than delivering one-time solutions, the company focuses on building scalable systems that evolve with the business. It emphasizes data ownership, industry-specific solutions, and ongoing collaboration, positioning itself as a strategic partner rather than just a service provider.

Looking ahead, Omkar believes that AI is at a stage similar to the early days of the internet. Businesses that adopt it early will gain a significant advantage, while those that delay risk falling behind. However, he is equally clear that AI is not about replacing people it is about enhancing how work is done and enabling individuals to focus on more meaningful tasks.

As AltoStudio continues to grow, it reflects a broader shift in how companies approach technology not as an add-on, but as an essential part of business infrastructure. For Omkar Kumbhar, this is just the beginning of building systems that will define how the next generation of businesses operates.

There was a time when getting information from government departments felt nearly impossible. Endless paperwork, unclear processes, and lack of guidance made it difficult for people to exercise their rights.

Today, that is changing.

With platforms like RTI Expert Lawyer, the process of filing a Right to Information (RTI) request has become simpler, faster, and more accessible than ever before.

RTI is not just a legal provision, it’s a tool of empowerment. It allows citizens to ask questions, seek clarity, and hold authorities accountable. From tracking public projects to resolving personal grievances, its applications are vast.

But despite its potential, many people still hesitate to use RTI due to confusion around the process.

That’s where RTI Expert Lawyer makes a difference.

By offering easy RTI filing services, the platform removes the complexity and replaces it with clarity. Users can submit requests without worrying about legal jargon or procedural errors. This ease of use has made RTI more approachable for everyday individuals.

Another major advantage is the availability of professional legal support. Whether it’s drafting applications or handling appeals, expert guidance ensures that users don’t feel lost at any stage.

What’s interesting is how this shift is changing behavior. More people are now using RTI not just for personal issues, but also for community concerns like infrastructure delays, public spending, and administrative transparency.

This growing awareness is a sign of a more informed society.

Platforms like RTI Expert Lawyer are not just service providers, they are enablers of change. By making legal services digital and accessible, they are helping people realize the true power of information.

And as more individuals begin to ask questions, the system naturally becomes more accountable.

In the end, RTI is more than a legal right. It’s a voice.

Let’s be honest. Most of us avoid thinking about estate planning.

It feels distant, complicated, and uncomfortable. But the truth is, it is one of the most responsible things we can do for our families.

That is where Wills Guardian India comes in.

Instead of making estate planning in India feel like a legal maze, the platform simplifies it into something practical and doable. No overwhelming jargon. No confusing steps. Just a clear path to securing your assets and your family’s future.

In India, many people assume wills and trusts are only for the wealthy. But that is a myth. If you have savings, property, or investments, you already have something worth protecting.

The problem is that most people do not know how to start.

Wills Guardian India solves this by making the process guided and accessible. From will drafting to trust services, it helps individuals take control of their financial legacy.

What makes it stand out is the human approach.

It does not just offer services. It offers clarity.

Instead of throwing legal terms, it breaks things down in a way that actually makes sense. You understand what you are doing, why you are doing it, and how it benefits your family.

And that matters.

Because estate planning is not just about documents. It is about peace of mind.

It is about knowing that your loved ones will not face confusion or disputes later. It is about making things easier for them when it matters the most.

Another reason the platform is gaining attention is its accessibility. You do not need to spend weeks figuring things out or visiting multiple offices. Everything is designed to be simple, streamlined, and user-friendly.

In a fast-moving world, that convenience matters.

But beyond convenience, there is a bigger message. Responsibility.

We spend years building our lives, careers, and wealth. Taking a small step to protect them should not feel like a burden.

Wills Guardian India is helping change that mindset.

It is making estate planning something people actually consider.

In today’s fast-paced world, where convenience often takes over thoughtfulness, Mydrunkcanvas is bringing back the charm of meaningful gifting. Founded by Deep Prabha, the brand is built on creativity, emotion, and the belief that a gift should feel just as special as the moment it represents.

Mydrunkcanvas didn’t begin with a grand vision or a detailed roadmap. It started with something much more genuine a love for art and the simple joy of creating. For Deep, crafting was never just about making something beautiful; it was about putting a piece of herself into everything she created. What began as a personal passion soon turned into something that resonated with others, gradually shaping the identity of the brand.

Over the years, this passion has evolved into a creative journey spanning multiple art forms. From resin art and handcrafted candles to crochet and other detailed crafts, Mydrunkcanvas reflects a blend of skills developed over six years of consistent exploration. This diversity is what gives the brand its unique edge it doesn’t limit itself to one style but instead embraces a mix of creativity to offer something different every time.

At its core, Mydrunkcanvas is about creating experiences through gifting. The brand focuses on designing products that go beyond appearance and carry emotional value. Each piece is handmade, ensuring not only quality but also individuality. In a space where many products look the same, this attention to detail makes every creation stand out.

What truly defines Mydrunkcanvas is its intention to make gifting more personal. Whether it’s a customised resin piece that captures a memory, a candle that adds warmth to a space, or a crochet creation that feels comforting and thoughtful, every product is designed to create a connection. It’s not just about giving a gift it’s about making someone feel seen and valued.

The brand’s ability to combine different forms of art allows it to cater to a wide range of occasions and preferences. This versatility has helped Mydrunkcanvas grow from creating individual products to offering curated gift sets and hampers. These thoughtfully put-together collections make gifting easier while still maintaining a personal touch.

With over 1300 orders delivered, Mydrunkcanvas has built a strong and growing community of customers who appreciate the effort behind handmade products. This journey has been driven not just by creativity, but also by the trust and support of people who believe in the value of personalised gifting.

As the brand continues to grow, it is also stepping into customised gifting solutions for festive occasions and larger requirements. This expansion reflects a natural progression one that stays aligned with the brand’s core idea of creating gifts that feel meaningful, no matter the scale.

Looking forward, Deep Prabha envisions Mydrunkcanvas as a brand that people turn to when they want something different something that doesn’t feel mass-produced or ordinary. The goal is to make handmade, thoughtfully designed gifts more accessible, while continuing to stay true to the essence of creativity and craftsmanship.

Mydrunkcanvas is not just about products; it’s about moments, emotions, and the small details that make a big difference. In a world full of quick choices, it offers something slower, more intentional, and ultimately, more memorable.

Let’s be honest, life gets confusing sometimes.

Whether it is love, career decisions, or just figuring out what is next, we all hit moments where we wish we had a little more clarity. And while some people turn to friends or Google, others quietly look toward astrology.

That is where AstroSadhguru comes in.

Launching soon, AstroSadhguru, founded by Alok Prabhat Nag, is a digital platform that is making astrology feel more accessible, more real, and more relevant.

Unlike the old-school way of visiting astrologers in person, AstroSadhguru lets you connect with them instantly through chat or calls. There is no waiting and no complicated setup, just instant guidance when you actually need it.

But here is the interesting part. It is not just about convenience.

AstroSadhguru focuses on real guidance, not just predictions. It is less about what will happen and more about helping you gain clarity, understand your situation, and make better choices.

And that is something people are actively looking for today.

We are in a time where everyone wants answers but also meaning. We do not just want to know what is coming next. We want to feel prepared for it.

The platform also takes trust seriously. The astrologers are not random profiles. They are verified professionals with real experience. That makes a huge difference in a space where authenticity can sometimes feel uncertain.

Another thing that stands out is the overall experience.

AstroSadhguru feels simple, clean, and easy to use. It is designed for a generation that is both digitally connected and spiritually curious.

And maybe that is why it works.

Because AstroSadhguru is not trying to replace tradition. It is trying to evolve it.

Founder Alok Prabhat Nag understands that astrology is not just about charts and predictions. It is about people, their questions, and their search for clarity.

By bringing this experience online, AstroSadhguru is creating something that feels both modern and meaningful.

In today’s innovation economy, startups and global brands share one common reality — their most valuable assets are often intangible. Protecting those assets requires lawyers who understand both law and business. Advocate Anahita Arya has built her career precisely at that intersection.

Discovering Law Through Curiosity

Anahita’s early academic interests were driven by curiosity about systems and global perspectives. Learning French and German exposed her to international cultures and legal thinking, shaping her understanding that legal solutions vary across jurisdictions — an insight that later proved invaluable in intellectual property practice.

Symbiosis and the Making of a Specialist

Her years at Symbiosis Law School in Pune helped refine her long-term professional vision. Rather than pursuing a broad legal path, she identified intellectual property as a field aligned with innovation and entrepreneurship.

Her LL.M. in Innovation, Technology, and Intellectual Property Laws strengthened this focus. Her dissertation examined AI regulation and technology law, reflecting an early recognition that the future of legal practice would be deeply connected to emerging technologies.

Corporate Exposure and High-Stakes Clients

Joining a leading IP law firm in Delhi in 2023 exposed her to large-scale corporate advisory work. She worked with Fortune 500 companies and a global software giant, advising on brand strategy, IP audits, and enforcement mechanisms.

This experience provided insight into how multinational companies treat intellectual property not as legal formality but as business infrastructure.

The Birth of Arya Co.

Arya Co. was built gradually through professional credibility rather than aggressive expansion. Client referrals began increasing, and independent mandates followed.

“The practice grew because clients trusted the work,” she notes.

Instead of leaving stability for uncertainty, she transitioned into independence once the ecosystem around her practice had already formed.

A Modern IP Practice

Today, Arya Co. operates across industries:

technology companies,

luxury brands,

consumer product businesses,

chemical sector clients,

international companies entering India.

She currently advises a Canadian beverage company launching operations in India — handling regulatory navigation and intellectual property structuring.

Entertainment Law Meets Intellectual Property

One of the firm’s most distinctive niches is its work with personalities from Punjab’s entertainment industry. As regional music becomes globally commercialised, artists increasingly require trademark, copyright, and branding strategies.

Arya Co. positions intellectual property not merely as legal protection but as brand architecture.

Entrepreneurship Through Expertise

Anahita’s journey reflects a growing trend among young lawyers: building boutique specialist firms rather than traditional full-service practices.

Every generation produces writers who redefine the purpose of literature. For Dr. Anoop Arpan, writing is more than storytelling,it is a means of emotional awakening and personal transformation.

Combining poetry, philosophy, and behavioural insights, Dr. Arpan has created a body of work that resonates with readers seeking clarity in an increasingly complex world.

A Writer Shaped by Reflection

Dr. Arpan’s journey into literature began with introspection. When his ideas and emotions felt difficult to share with others, he turned to writing as a form of dialogue with himself.

Over time, that private exercise evolved into a public expression of ideas that many readers found deeply relatable. Through poetry and essays, he began addressing themes that often remain unspoken,inner conflict, self-discovery, and the search for meaning.

For Dr. Arpan, writing serves a simple yet profound purpose: to give voice to emotions that might otherwise remain hidden. 

The Author as a Guide

What distinguishes Dr. Arpan’s writing is its ability to combine emotional depth with intellectual exploration.

As a behavioural life coach, he brings a psychological perspective to literature. His writing encourages readers to examine their own patterns of thinking and to approach life with greater awareness.

In many ways, his books function as guides,not in the conventional self-help sense, but as reflective works that prompt readers to question and grow.

Reinterpreting Tradition

A key element of Dr. Arpan’s literary work is his reinterpretation of classical philosophy for modern audiences.

His exploration of Sri Ram Charit Manas as a framework for leadership demonstrates how ancient narratives can offer timeless lessons in ethics, resilience, and decision-making.

By presenting these ideas through contemporary language and examples, he brings centuries-old wisdom into today’s professional and social conversations. 

Book Sri Ram Charit Manas: A Guide to Management And Leadership is recorded in Asia Book of Records for its uniqueness.

Literature as a Catalyst for Change

Dr. Arpan believes that literature has the power to influence not only individuals but also society.

Through his writing and public engagements, he aims to encourage readers,especially young people to embrace creativity, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence.

His message is simple yet powerful: every individual carries an extraordinary potential waiting to be discovered.

A Rising Literary Voice

As readers continue to discover his work, Dr. Anoop Arpan is gaining recognition as a writer who blends artistry with insight.

In an era dominated by rapid communication, his writing invites readers to slow down and reflect.

Behind the impressive titles, international awards, and groundbreaking scientific research, Prof. (Dr.) Md. Sadique Shaikh leads a life guided by simplicity, reflection, and a deep connection with nature.

Globally recognized for his work in artificial intelligence, robotics, and advanced computing, Dr. Shaikh is known in academic circles for pioneering ideas such as Artificial Wisdom, Synthetic Intelligence, and Organoid Intelligence. Yet away from laboratories and research papers, his life follows a very different rhythm.

He prefers quiet moments with his family, long periods of solitude, and time spent in nature.

For Dr. Shaikh, solitude is not isolation,it is a source of creativity.

He often describes loneliness as a powerful catalyst for innovation. Many of his scientific ideas, including his theories on next-generation intelligence systems, emerged during moments of reflection under open skies or while observing nature.

Trees, he says, are among his greatest companions.

This deep connection with nature has shaped his commitment to environmental sustainability. Dr. Shaikh actively supports initiatives such as tree conservation, forest protection, water harvesting, renewable energy development, and plastic-free environments.

He has also worked on awareness programs related to e-waste management, biomass energy, hydrogen storage, and solar energy utilization, encouraging environmentally responsible technological development.

Beyond environmental advocacy, Dr. Shaikh is also deeply involved in social initiatives. He supports movements promoting gender equality, education for girls, Digital India initiatives, and community-based development programs.

Music is another important part of his life.

He often says that music and mathematics are the two universal languages of the cosmos. Music, for him, represents harmony, rhythm, and creativity,the same elements that drive scientific discovery.

His fascination with the universe extends to space, planets, and celestial phenomena. Looking at the night sky, he finds inspiration for exploring humanity’s place within the broader cosmic system.

Another passion of Dr. Shaikh is long, slow motorcycle rides. Riding alone through open landscapes allows him to feel a profound connection with nature, the universe, and spirituality. During these moments, he reflects on ideas, research concepts, and philosophical questions about intelligence and existence.

Dr. Shaikh often speaks about a sense of unity between nature, the universe, light, and human consciousness. This philosophical perspective influences his scientific thinking, particularly his theories on interconnected intelligence systems.

Despite receiving more than 130 international awards and global recognition in leading publications, he remains grounded in humility and simplicity.

He is also known for encouraging young researchers and innovators. Dr. Shaikh strongly believes that every new idea deserves support and that innovation often begins with curiosity rather than resources.

His autobiography, “The Diary of Dr. Sadique Shaikh,” shares the story of his journey,from early struggles and failures to becoming a globally recognized scientist.

For many aspiring innovators, his story carries a powerful message: success is not defined by recognition alone but by persistence, curiosity, and the courage to imagine new possibilities.
