1. You’ve spent years sharing your journey online. Why did you feel this was the right time to launch Let’s Be Real, and what conversations did you feel were missing from social media? Riya: I’ve always believed that the most meaningful conversations need more than a minute. Let’s Be Real gives people the space to share their stories honestly, without rushing. I wanted to create conversations that go beyond highlights and explore the emotions and experiences we don’t often talk about online. 2. In a world dominated by filters, edits and carefully curated lives, what does “being real” actually mean…

Technology is evolving at a relentless pace, with innovation cycles becoming shorter than ever. In this environment, businesses face constant disruption from emerging solutions. Continuous upskilling and reskilling are no longer optional but essential. At the heart of this transformation lies one critical enabler: seamless, high-quality communication. As enterprises expand across geographies and time zones, large-scale learning through training programmes, workshops, and town halls has become the norm. In these settings, audio clarity is critical. Even minor disruptions can affect comprehension, engagement, and overall effectiveness. Reliable audio is therefore fundamental to meaningful knowledge exchange. However, traditional communication systems often fall…

When you think of Yoga Day, the usual image that comes to mind is a yoga mat laid out in a park, a studio filled with calming music, or a sunrise session overlooking the sea.

This Yoga Day, we partnered with GetWetFit to give creators a unique wellness experience at the beautiful Grand Hyatt Mumbai, where yoga met water in the most exciting way possible.…

The premium hair styling market in India is finally getting interesting. For years, Dyson practically owned the “luxury air styler” category, with its futuristic design, airflow-based styling, and eye-watering pricing. But now, Bombae, a brand mostly known for razors and grooming tools, wants a piece of that space with the new Hairplay Pro. Priced at ₹19,000, the Hairplay Pro is Bombae’s attempt at creating an all-in-one styling system for Indian hair types without entering full Dyson territory. The promise sounds ambitious: salon-style blowouts, curls, smoothing, and volume without extreme heat damage. So the obvious question is can a homegrown grooming…

Mothers have spent years figuring out our lives before we could even spell “Wi-Fi password.” They’ve fixed chaos, remembered birthdays, answered panic calls, and somehow mastered Facebook Reels without a tutorial. So this Mother’s Day, maybe skip the predictable flowers-and-chocolates routine and gift her something she’ll actually use, and flex. And no, it doesn’t have to be boring. This is the kind of tech that says, “Thanks for everything,” without sounding like a last-minute  Archies greeting card. Fossil Harlow Mini – ₹15,995 If your mom loves elegance that doesn’t scream for attention, the Fossil Harlow Mini feels like the perfect…

I’ve been using the Under Armour Velociti Distance for about a week now, with a couple of proper runs in the mix. Not an extreme test window, but enough to get a clear sense of what the shoe is built for and how it actually feels on the road. This sits in that long-run, high-mileage category, and it shows pretty quickly. The first thing that stands out is the cushioning. It’s soft, especially on impact, but it doesn’t feel overly plush or unstable. There’s a controlled kind of comfort here. You get that bit of protection underfoot, particularly in the…

1. What inspired you to start your journey as creator and finance educator? Financial literacy and education have always been my passion. I realised the importance of financial independence very early in life. The freedom that comes with earning and growing your own assets is irreplaceable.

One piece of advice you’d give to someone just starting out? Whatever field you are starting in, the best way to…

Christmas at home is supposed to feel warm, indulgent and unhurried. In reality, it often turns into a blur of cooking, hosting, cleaning, charging devices and trying to keep everyone comfortable at the same time. That is where smart gadgets earn their place. Not as flashy toys or festive gimmicks, but as quiet enablers that take friction out of everyday moments. From lighting that sets the mood without manual tweaking to appliances that work in the background while you focus on people, the right tech can make a noticeable difference during the holidays.

As the years pass by like an express train, the digital world is also transforming at the speed of a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+. We all remember when office meetings took place in conference or boardrooms, and people would call others to meet in person for discussions, as physical meetings were considered the best form of communication. We’ve witnessed a remarkable shift from BlackBerry’s BBM to WhatsApp Messenger. The transition in communication technology seems sudden, almost as if it happened yesterday. Furthermore, COVID-19 became a major catalyst, dramatically changing how meetings and conferencing occur; the pandemic played a significant…

The customer relationship management platforms have been the key tools to organize contacts, monitor interactions and serve sales and service teams. Conventional CRM systems, however, were mostly oriented as online filing cabinets, which require manual input and ready-made rules. These systems cannot keep up with the increased expectations of customers and the increase in the volume of data. AI powered CRMs are a revolution as they apply machine learning and automation to actively aid decision making. They do not merely keep information organized, but instead, they identify patterns, forecast results, and suggest measures that can make organizations work smarter and…
