A life coach helps you change thought patterns that are not helping you to move ahead in life says Life Coach Shilpa Singh.

The world is going through unforeseen turmoil and chaos lately. Although people have shown utmost bravery yet they are fearful about the future. Many of them are well educated and highly skilled but unsure of their job security in the coming time. There seems to be a lot to worry about – jobs, careers, health, family, personal growth among other things.

Certified life coach Shilpa Singh with her corporate experience of 14 years in people management says she has been dealing with professionals from various fields to make a difference in their lives.

Shilpa says,” I am coaching many people in their 20s and 30s. These are the people looking for clarity in their lives. They are ambitious and hungry for success but have little clarity about their future which makes them feel stuck.”

Life Coaching has become a renowned profession since the world began to take mental health seriously. People who engage with life coaches for help and direction in their lives are no different than the ordinary. Some of them are brilliant at work and are growing exponentially in life. Some others have great friends and family but still they are insecure about their body, colour, career and failures.

The concept of living in a world where you are forced to do a job that you hate, just so that you can pay off some bills no more appeals to the youth of today. There is something in life everyone desperately wants but many people are frozen by the vastness and implication of making such a monumental change

More than ever before, people need coaching not just for results, but also on how to manage their mental and emotional state. All that is required is clarity, an objective view on how to achieve your goals, an action plan to get there and keep accountability.

Whether you are a leader, parent, teacher, executive, manager, HR, army personnel, an artist or a homemaker looking for a transformation within you, you need a life coach. Life coaching helps you move ahead with renewed confidence and extraordinary zeal in life.

In the words of Bill Gates, “Everyone needs a coach. We all need people that give us feedback. That’s how we improve.” Life Coaching ensures you become the person you always wanted to be. It prompts you to rediscover who you are and what you want to achieve in life.

About life and dreams, Life Coach Shilpa Singh says, “Most people work day and night to do the best for their families but just fail for some reason. with time, they settle for a mediocre life and simply quit on their dreams. They convince themselves nothing can change. Well, everything can change if you decide to change and when it is done in the right way.”

It is always the right time to change the way one thinks about oneself, one’s dreams, and work towards creating a life you want. A life coach works deep into your mind to change the thought patterns that are not helping you to move ahead in life the way you want to. He/she codes a person to massive success and results. This helps set crystal clear outcomes to know actually what you want and set deadlines to achieve them.

Studies conducted by the International Coaching Federation on the effectiveness of life coaching showed 99% of the people they interviewed saw their experience working with a life coach as rewarding, while 96% stated they would do it again. Moreover, 65% said working with a coach helped them improve their performance at work, and 80% said it helped improve their self-confidence.

About her own journey, Life Coach Shilpa Singh says, “My life changed the day I took decision to change the course I was walking on for 20 years. I was ambitious but lack of self-belief kept pulling me down. I struggled with being ‘settled and successful’ in the eyes of people but not feeling the same within. My biggest question to myself was – why I am doing what I am doing and what is the purpose of my life?”

Shilpa says she knew she always wanted to live a fulfilling life but didn’t know how to make it happen. Having worked in corporate at various levels for 14 years I took an informed decision, quit my 9 to 6 job and started working for myself towards my dreams.

Today, I am the Author of my book Medi-Sin Children, a life coach, a speaker, an entrepreneur and a happy mother of 2 lovely kids. I have impacted more than 1000 lives through my book, coaching and speaking engagements in various personal development seminars.

My mission is to impact 5000 lives by the end of 2021 to experience personal transformation with life coaching. Life coaching brings out the best in people and helps my clients have a positive mindset to lead a joyful life.

With strict social distancing norms, the best way to spread smiles is through small gestures like gifting. The present time comes with a great advantage for the e-gifting industry; it will witness a key shift in the purchasing patterns of consumers.

Recent studies show that the Indian e-commerce sector is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 19.6% between 2019-23. According to Amit Desai who has been a part of the Indian gifting industry since the internet boom, e-gifting will contribute significantly to this growth.

Established in 1999, GiftstoIndia24x7 is India’s premier gifting platform specially curated for the gifting needs of non – residential Indians. The e-commerce portal offers its users about 20,000 gift options for multiple occasions along with same-day delivery and mid-night delivery options.

The platform boasts of a 24X7 customer service support which gives customers across the globe a personalized gifting experience, making them feel more connected with their family and friends back home.

We, at Digpu, caught up with Amit Desai, CEO, GiftstoIndia24x7, to understand his business amidst the pandemic, his views on the new normal and the future trends in e-gifting. Here are a few excerpts from the conversation.

What is GiftstoIndia24x7 all about? How is it unique in the sea of other gifting platforms?

GiftstoIndia24x7 is an e-gifting portal specially curated to cater to the gifting needs of non-residential Indians. We have been in the gifting business for close to five decades and what sets us apart is the wide range of products that we offer along with our end-to-end user experience.

With COVID-19 affecting all businesses, how do you find it impacting the e-gifting industry?

There is no denying that COVID-19 has led to an overall economic downfall. Initially, the fear of the virus caused a lot of uncertainty in terms of business functions and customer trust. Customers were sceptical to buy products online due to risk of hygiene levels and delivery protocols. But the industry responded very well to the discomfort expressed by customers and collectively adopted a system which is driven by trust and transparency.

With options like online payment, contactless deliveries, transparent sanitization processes, the e-gifting industry has evolved and made gifting a stress-free experience. Internally, we have adopted a sanitization process wherein all products are thoroughly sanitized, our staff is equipped with proper personal protective equipment and we are operating at minimum employee scale while maintaining social distancing.

What does the future hold for the e-gifting industry?

With strict social distancing norms, the best way to spread smiles is through small gestures like gifting. This is a great advantage for the industry; we will witness a key shift in the purchasing patterns of consumers. For a business like ours, now that NRIs won’t be able to cross borders for a long time, in the short term, we are expecting a boom in the gifting cycle; with a view to stay connected to their families, they will consider sending gifts more often.

Amit Desai concludes by saying that as an industry, this is the best time for all gifting industry players to innovate and offer the best to the consumers while following top-notch hygiene protocols.

SRINAGAR (J&K): The International Women’s Media Foundation (IWMF) on Thursday honoured Kashmiri photojournalist Masrat Zahra with this year’s Anja Niedringhaus Courage in Photojournalism Award.

The deadline for this year’s award was March 01, 2020 and only full-time women photojournalists, although with any nationality, were eligible.

Zahra’s pictures provide a glimpse into the everyday lives of people living in Kashmir, which, however, sees regular internet shutdowns.

Pertinently, Masrat Zahra, whose work has appeared in The Caravan, The Washington Post, TRT World, Al Jazeera, The New Humanitarian, Religion Unplugged and several other media outlets, was booked under the Unlawful Activities Prevention (Act) for her “social media posts” earlier in April this year.

Masrat said that receiving the award “shows that the work of journalists like me coming from small places is being acknowledged.”

“I hope this honor will encourage me to perfect my skills and do my work more confidently. I also expect it to inspire other women photographers who are working in difficult conditions,” she expressed.

IWMF Executive Director, Elisa Lees Munoz, said, “Countless communities around the world are facing enormous threat, harm and censorship due to governmental threats and the declining state of press freedom worldwide,” adding, “During these times, Anja’s legacy reminds us that it’s the communities beneath the headlines who are the true targets of civil and social brutality.”

The International Women’s Media Foundation, located in Washington, D.C., is an organization working internationally to elevate the status of women in the media. The IWMF has created programs to help women in the media develop practical solutions to the obstacles they face in their careers and lives.

The award is being given away to honor the life and work of Pulitzer Prize-winning AP photographer and IWMF Courage in Journalism Award winner Anja Niedringhaus (1965-2014), who was killed on assignment in Afghanistan.

The $20,000 (€17,500) prize is awarded annually by the IWMF, which has been fighting since 1990 for press freedom and supporting courageous female journalists.

Best friends Jayesh and Aditya were just 22, when they stumbled upon the trending personal care niche on Instagram, while on a walk discussing various business ideas. Quickly, they looped Mayur into the idea. Mayur has been Jayesh’s former partner in Unzag Media; a performance marketing agency. All three of them felt that India came up short on a brand which could resonate with millennials and the forthcoming sector of Gen Z.

Beginning a DTC personal care brand was simple for the trio; where Jayesh and Mayur excelled in scaling DTC Brands through their digital marketing abilities, whereas Aditya brought in his prior knowledge in the personal care industry accomplished through his family-owned Salon Business “Cut and Style”.

They bootstrapped the brand in 2017 and launched their first product in the year 2018 namely Detoxifying Sea Algae Face Mask. It took them a year to consummate the product in the wake of experiencing innumerable samples and suppliers to find the ideal formula containing Seaweed Algae, Vitamin C, Activated Charcoal, and Hyaluronic Acid in the right amount. The product assists with detoxifying, brightening and removing pollutants from the skin, causing the skin to feel baby soft and clear.

The Face Mask became a rage in the country. From Influencers to celebrities, everybody contributed to its virality. In around 19 months, the brand has as much as 70,000 clients with stunning reviews and feedback. The product is sold nationwide through their website and on marketplaces like Amazon, Nykaa, Flipkart and so forth. The brand professes to service 8,000 orders every month online, with an average ticket size of ₹999.

In August, last year, in the wake of seeing the response and input on the product, they propelled a similar mask for Men, so as to increase the market share.

The founders of Prolixr consider the yearly market evaluation and analysis as an absolute must, as they believe every year has its own utilization story to tell. When you compare the needs of customers five years back to now, it is a whole lot of different. Today, everything is about needs and interests-provoking consumerism.

The founders commented that “We have known from the start, the power of the digital medium. Isn’t it amazing to follow or buy anything you want, with just a few clicks? We saw the digital medium as a good way to establish our brand and our products. On the basis of our research, we sure made our customer personas, based on their likes, interests amongst many other things derived from the networking platform which helped us to curate the content and modify our image accordingly. Since people are very self-centric knowing the most about themselves, we aimed to create an image that resonates most of our audience groups, resulting in personalized and individualistic branding.” 

Product development in the personal care sector is a precarious task and Prolixr has had an analytical approach to deal with the conceptualization and advancement of the product. After the complete analysis of all the conceivable outcomes, it becomes a challenge for the team to come to a concise conclusion, the founders claimed.

To narrow down the assessment grids of the product, the founders mentioned that they have been directing groupdiscussions and substantial product feedbacksfrom a spectrum of customers. They also added that the detailed reviews, surveys and discussions have been aiming to cover all sides of customer preferences inclinations. “This type of analysis not only gives us an exceptional advantage over the other brands in the personal care industry but also helps us to build a brand image that aligns our products with customers.” said Jayesh Hans.

“We would want to stick to the DTC approach for now, as there are quite a few unexplored areas with a lot of scope, which is expected to rise even more post- COVID,” jointly said the founders of the brand.

The founders are currently stepping forward with the presentation of new products in the personal care fragment, intending to continue delivering new premium quality products to their customers.

Celebfie provides an opportunity for the fans to access short-form content created by the celebrities and also allow fans to directly engage with them

Celebrities-paparazzi and then fans & brands; the engagement between a celebrity and their fans have always been dictated by the paparazzi and their core circle. Fans are dependent on journalists to get a sneak peek in the lives of their favourite stars, but now a mobile application-based high-leverage content venture that goes by the name of ‘Celebfie’ is set to disrupt this age-old practice. Fans and brands would now have direct access to the celebrities and their exclusive content created by them.

‘Celebfie’ is way ahead of the present crop of celebrity centric platforms as they are just focused on paid celebrity shout outs, whereas Celebfie provides an opportunity for the fans to access short-form content created by the celebrities and also allow fans to directly engage with them. The current social networking sites facilitate one-way communication, where the fans express their views and requests, which is hardly noticed by celebrities, the reason is lack of personal touch. Celebrities receive hundreds of fan messages, they are tagged, trolled, and mentioned on multiple social media channels and it becomes difficult for the celebrity to respond to each one of them. On the other hand, shout out platforms only allow fans to buy celebrity shout out and personalised message videos, but the personal connection and engagement is missing even there.

Celebfie has been founded by Raminder Singh also known by the name Monty Alagh on Social media,  and his co-founder Praveer Singh who are school time friends. Raminder is the CEO of the company and is a reputed Edtech professional also the recipient of the edtech leader of the year award by the India-UAE Business Summit, 2018. Raminder identified the gap in celebrity booking and engagement segments while trying to book a celebrity for an event. He started research on how to contact celebrities in India and was amazed to find out that there were no transparent celebrity engagement platforms. This helplessness leads to the germination of an idea that later took the shape of Celebfie.

Speaking about the evolution process of celebfie Raminder said, “India is a country where celebrities are idolised, where else in the world would you find temples and fans worshiping a cricketer or a film star? This fact was in the back of my mind when the idea of Celebfie took shape. Through deliberations with friends and family, I zeroed in on developing a high-leverage content-based business, and was very sure that this platform should be ‘Made in India’ and with time be India’s very own New-Age social media and content consumption platform internationally.” The Celebfie App brings together three aspects of the entertainment and media industry i.e. celebrities, fans, and brands. Celebfie is an unfiltered medium for these three aspects to communicate within themselves and with their audiences.

The app is live on both Apple and Android stores, and users are thrilled with the way they get personalised access to the celebrities and the app’s user experience. “We were live with the idea to learn from the user experience, and also with our well researched, and though after product roadmap, users would get extremely engaging features with every new release in the application. Over time, the exclusive content generation would turn the platform into a high-leverage model, where celebrities would be able to monetise their content on the condition of exclusivity,” added Raminder. The application provides a fan with an opportunity to follow and subscribe to celebrity and their Celebfie channels; this would enable the fans to be noticed and can further connect with celebrities to get more personal attention from them.

When asked whether the company was a bootstrap venture or it had multiple investors Raminder quipped, “Initially we started on our own after that friends and family showed interest in the project and off late, with the interesting features, hugely scalable concept and the high monetisation potential of the application has intrigued many funding agencies. We are in talks with a few investors who may indulge in our seed funding round very soon.”

If technical and marketing experts are to be believed, Celebfie, would soon leave behind the most popular platforms that facilitate celebrity social content consumption and shout outs in India. It would prove to be the mother of all Apps for the fans and celebrities from every realm and sphere. Everyone starting from—Bollywood celebs to sports stars to singers and internet sensations—would find it as the best, safest, and the cleanest medium to interact and get connected with their followers.

Bengaluru-based crypto exchange startup Tradehorn, announced that it will be launching a new cryptocurrency exchange platform called ‘Tradehorn’ for Indian users in June 2020. The users can now trade, deposit and withdraw in Indian rupees (INR).

“We are here to serve novice traders, who are absolutely new to this & spread awareness of crypto as an Innovation,” said Rahul Vinakiya, Founder and CEO at Tradehorn. Speaking to Digpu, he said Tradehorn’s aim was to simplify things for users, and involve them in the crypto ecosystem with better understanding and reliability.

 “For us, how we measure success of this platform depends on whether my uncle would be able to use this,” he added. Tradehorn aims to educate the Indian masses regarding Crypto Trading in its totality. They want to bring in more people in the Crypto industry in the digitised Post-COVID era.

Rahul hails from a simple Jain family in ballari. Since the onset of his career, he has been handling FMCG & Restaurants business and has been following the crypto industry since its inception in India. He is keen on exploring new businesses globally and explore their hidden potential. While he has always been helping people see the greatness in them, Rahul’s Mantra for success is ‘The Key To Everything Is Patience’ .

Simplifying Crypto Trading For Indian Users

In an attempt to remove intricacies associated with crypto, Rahul said that he plans to create a user-friendly platform in the form of a mobile application. The user-friendly mobile application will have 24×7 customer education and support. This will further fuel TradeHorn’s motto of creating a socio-economy. It will be launched as Tradehorn app on Android and will be available on Apple’s IOS in June 2020 itself.

On asking abour the TradeHorn app, Rahul said, “Our experience is very different from the normal crypto exchanges in India which primarily focus on trading. We, on the other hand, are simply focusing on acquiring users on buying, selling and engaging with cryptocurrencies.”

Recent clarity of RBI on Crypto Currency Banking makes thing easier for Tradehorn. Tradehorn extends its gratitude to the Supreme Court for its revolutionary verdict and hopes that the crypto industry grows like other global market segments and industries under regulated regime.

Ease Of Transactional Processes

He said that they have collaborated with a few banks to process the transactions for their users in a seamless manner. The banks that Tradehorn has partnered with after the Supreme Court verdict are readily available to help crypto start-ups and crypto users.

Few questions are still bothering Cryptocurrency lovers. In light of this, Rahul said, “On the service aspect, there is clarity. However, what about the value at which the currency is brought and sold, whether that is liable to tax or not is a big question,” This is a very important thing which needs to be cleared by the government so that companies and users feel free to start trading. A lot of people don’t know how to get started with crypto, as they are unfamiliar with how the tech implications would work. This clarity would not only help the crypto companies, but also for the users.”

The Coronavirus outbreak is changing the educational landscape across the globe by transforming the traditional chalk-talk teaching method to tech-driven learning. The educators are harnessing and utilizing the bevy of available technological tools to create content for remote learning of the students. This has opened up new possibilities to do things differently, with greater flexibility leading to potential benefits of easily accessible education for students while also maintaining social distancing to curb the spread.

One of Delhi NCR’s leading educators, with a 100% placement record over the last four years, Galgotias University, located in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh is turning this adversity into opportunity. Since day one of the lockdown, the university has ensured no stumbling block affects the learning curve.

This will also demonstrate accountability to the public and indicate the university’s commitment to excellence and will give it a new sense of direction and identity. Not only this, but leading global universities also admit students only from NBA-accredited universities and colleges.

 “This will now open the doors for us to 20+ countries under the Washington Accord, where accreditation such as NBA is acknowledged,” says Dr.Preeti Bajaj, VC, Galgotias University. About the allocation of funds to the education sector in the Union Budget, Dr. Bajaj says, “The government has introduced a lot of schemes and programs on skill development, which is appreciable.”

A Noble Gesture To Contain The Pandemic

To mitigate the after-effects and contain the spread of the pandemic, Galgotias has provided the Uttar Pradesh government with 2,200 beds for doctors. The university, which believes in giving back to society, has also helped create a quarantine centre in a short time. Over 6,000 meals are provided to the needy and 2,000 sanitizers have been arranged to ensure proper hygiene. Further, the university has announced Rs. 21 lakhs towards the Chief Minister’s Covid-19 relief fund.

While maintaining its reputation of being a premium centre of knowledge generation and dissemination, such philanthropic acts will take Galgotias even further in their quest to achieve overall excellence.

It is not very often that a person chalks out a well-thought-of career plan at an early stage in life. But 19-year-old Dipika Rana is one such motivated individual who aspires to become an actress and is in the thick of things about what it would take to realise her dreams.

The vivid details of Dipika Rana’s elaborate plan and determination to learn things quickly can give serious competition to people even double her age. Today, Dipika is a famous face on Likee, the pioneering global short video creation platform by Singapore-based BIGO Technology Pte Ltd – with a whopping 11.08 million fans. She is well-admired by her fans and is known for her unique video making styles that entertain her fans to the fullest.

Dipika loved dancing and acting since a very young age. Her brother was her first and the best fan she has. He was the one to introduce Dipika to Likee and encouraged her to showcase her talent to the world via the platform. She instantly connected with the app as she saw many like-minded creators making videos and getting appreciation for their efforts. But she did not own any phone. Curious as a cat, she borrowed her father’s phone to download Likee because she knew this was something that would help her in achieving her dreams.

Dipika had limited access to the phone because her father would be on his job for most hours of the day. But whenever she did have the phone in her hand, she would make videos for Likee. Her efforts so far were reaping her good results. Slowly and gradually, she started to earn fans on the platform. Her interest grew with love and admiration from her fans, and she began to take part in every trending topic on Likee, including online challenges. Her efforts and dedication won her her-first-ever mobile phone via a Likee challenge. Now, she could make videos whenever she wanted to. This win was a significant step towards making her dream a reality on Likee.

Along with making videos, now she could also do some research on what would garner her more fame. Her sister Isha Rana, who is also present on Likee, hinted that more or less everyone was creating similar videos. This not only made Dipika understand that she had to have a different flavour in her videos to stand apart from the crowd, but also acted as an inspiration to bring about the desired changes.

Soon she embraced a new video making style that transformed her Likee journey and made her a top-rated Likee video creator. Dipika Rana says “The goal of my life is to become an actress and I have already established my identity in the field because of Likee.” She further said, “I find every Likee challenge very exciting and always try to think out-of-the-box to make unique videos on them.”

Dipika’s journey is a tale of inspiration particularly for young women in India who wish to unshackle the chains of norms that restrict their growth as an artist and moreover as an individual. She is one among the increasing list of female video creators who have made a mark for themselves through apps such as Likee.

Her fans drive Dipika’s success on Likee and whatever she does raises the bar of her fans’ expectations from her. This has helped her convert her raw talent into something more meaningful. She says “I learn and try different styles of videos. If my fans like a particular style of video, then I feel excited and dig deeper into that kind and create more such videos.”

She is very selective when it comes to creating Likee videos and she is strengthening her position with a peculiar style. Dipika adds,“I am planning something big for my fans on Likee. It is a surprise, so I want them to stay tuned to my Likee channel.”

As a platform, Likee means a lot to Dipika Rana. She is glad that she could still continue making videos when the world unexpectedly had to deal with COVID-19, which even triggered a country-wide lockdown in India. At times, making videos on Likee during lockdown was the only thing that would cheer up Dipika. She says “I advise everyone to join Likee, irrespective of their age. One can earn a good name and money from the comfort of their homes.”

Dipika Rana feels that platforms such as Likee are a great medium for talented people to be discovered and hopes more people like herself would find the path to their dreams through the app.
