Absolute Determination and a ‘Will to Achieve’ is what characterizes Manas Wadhwa, Founder- K se Kulcha. A college dropout, he has travelled a rough road to reach where he is today. From starting a trade fair to working in an event management company to a stint in a Call centre, working in an MNC thereafter and getting into Jet Airways as Cabin Crew, he never lost sight of his Goal and finally quit his secure well-paid job in Jet and opened Desi Vibes in 2005. Today besides Desi Vibes, Manas and his partner Varun (his jet-mate), most unassumingly own three other restaurants; Kaffiiaa- Italian Cafe, The Imperial Spice and K se Kulcha. We are glad to bring you Stay featured in Conversation with Mr Manas Wadhwa. Share your journey from being a cabin crew with Jet Airways to a restaurateur. There has been no journey if it was challenging yet interesting. Driven by the same virtue, we share the story of Manas Wadhwa and Varun Khera, the power duo behind the most successful, loved and award-winning Restaurant- Desi Vibes, in Sector 18 Noida. Meet them and you meet two people who are extremely passionate, determined and have the zeal to make it to the top. Starting from a fairly humble beginning, Manas Wadhwa has travelled a rough road to reach where he is today. From working in an event management company to a stint in a call centre, working in an MNC thereafter and getting into Jet Airways as a cabin crew, there remained only one thing common across all the varied platforms that he traversed, and that was his passion and will to reach his goal. Varun Khera, a hotel management graduate and a Jet Airways cabin crew thereafter, always knew that he wanted to start with something of his own. It was sheer serendipity that made both of them meet and realize their common passion and vision – that of being entrepreneurs. It's their expertise and hard work that has brought them to a benchmark and at present time, they have set standards in the market. Today besides Desi Vibes, Manas and his partner Varun (his jet-mate), most unassumingly own three other restaurants; Kaffiiaa- Italian Café, The Imperial Spice and K se Kulcha. Desi Vibes- Mughlai Indian, Kaffiaa- Italian and K se Kulcha – a street food. How did this concept of bringing street food to DLF Mall of India come about? The importance of maintaining hygiene standards at a food counter cannot be stated enough. In the times of Coronavirus, safety standards and hygiene have become of utmost importance. Customers want to consume from a clean counter that serves hygienic food. Amidst covid and its dynamic temper, people are missing finger-licking, spicy street food. Interestingly, K se Kulcha found the key to the stumbling block without weighing heavy on your pockets. Where 'Good Food | Healthy Food' comes along with the taste, the place is no other than K se Kulcha! Our object of the exercise is to bring the essence from the streets of India, the taste you can't impede right into your plate and in your slice of the budget, which is why we decided to have an outlet at a safe and innocuous place that gets to the bottom of hygiene issues and brings to you the mouth-watering, soul-full flavours of street food. Keeping this thought in mind K se kulcha was born, with almost 100 dishes to choose from, you don't have to stay aloof from your most liked street kulchas. Who are your customers for K se Kulcha? Satisfying our customers tops the priority list, therefore, after the hammer-like hit of Covid 19, we came across the reluctant nature among masses where they wanted to enjoy street spices like before the new normal came into existence but the agitation of getting infected was high or the cost of falling sick was such that they are forced to avoid their liking in this sphere. At K se Kulcha, the menu offers a plethora of dishes, where one of our most loved & lowest costing dishes, bhelpuri (we all have been having this since childhood) is priced at INR 99/- on the other hand our chefs' special Butter Chicken Kulladh is priced at INR 229/-, thus, we let our customers enjoy the mouth-watering, soul-full flavours of the street right in their budget. Which is your bestselling kulcha? One of our Best Selling kulcha is the multigrain kulcha bread which is served along with delicious, smokey Punjabi-style chole. We also offer varieties of kulcha that are not just healthy and tasty but also rich in essential nutrients. Our field professionals, working behind the screen (in the kitchen) make sure to maintain a healthy balance of ingredients. Future plans Talking about plans, being a first-generation company we have a very aggressive expansion idea. We are eagerly looking for business growth partners who would like to shake hands with us. We are mainly focusing on the FOCO (Franchise Owned Company Operated) Model, where outlets will be operated by us and investment is sought from a franchise partner. Furthermore, initially, we plan to focus on the Delhi NCR market only. We are in process of developing various formats of our outlets which could be further branched out into market-specific locations. In simple words, Kiosks for the food court in malls, full-service sit-down outlets for high streets market.

In the world of football, transfers are a normal thing. The change is that now the transfer deals can happen at any time and the respective player joins the team during the transfer period. This season has already highlighted that Kylian Mbappé’s contract renewal is the biggest deal of the season, despite almost 2 months remaining to close the transfer window. Mbappé has signed a contract with Paris Saint-Germain until 2025, and the Frenchman’s deal has already ticked the box of controversy. Being a fan of Real Madrid since his childhood, Kylian Mbappé has already revealed multiple times his desire to play for Real Madrid. Real Madrid has been admirers of Mbappé since he was a teenager and was doing wonders on the football field. He is the only teenager to score in a World Cup final since the Pelé himself. Mbappé was dreaming of playing for Real Madrid , and it's no exaggeration to say that Mbappé has been an obsession of Real Madrid's president, Florentino Pérez. Many of the club's key decisions in recent times have been guided by its mission to secure Mbappé. Pérez offloaded big wages names like Raphaël Varane and Sergio Ramos . He also sold young talents like Achraf Hakimi, Martin Ødegaard and Sergio Reguilón. It was a long-lasting rumour that Pérez wanted both Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé in this transfer window. He ended up signing neither of them, and it’s a huge political blow for Pérez if we consider his reputation. Mbappé was already distant from the Paris team since he faced huge criticism and booing after he missed the deciding penalty for France in the Euro round of 16 against Switzerland. Pérez was 100% convinced that Mbappé would join Madrid, and his optimism was even raised after Real Madrid won the UEFA Champions League this season. Pérez had made 2 offers before this summer, which were rejected by Paris. The first offer was with an opening bid worth 160 million euros on the evening of August the 24th, 2021, a week before the window closed. When the offer came, it was immediately rejected by Paris. Pérez improved his bid and tried again in December 2021, but it all went in vain. Kylian Mbappé’s last contract with Paris Saint-Germain was ending this summer, and there was a verbal agreement since 2021 with Real Madrid to sign for them. Everything was on the table, the deal was agreed verbally, and Mbappé’s signature was just a formality. After Madrid made an offer of 160 million, Paris Saint-Germain wanted to extend the contract with a raise in wages, but Mbappé’s camp showed no interest in agreeing to this deal. Mbappé’s mother, Fayza Lamari, was the centre of the negotiation. Mbappé went to Qatar with his family for the final meeting with Paris Saint-Germain’s higher-ups just before giving the green light to Real Madrid’s offer. When he came back to Paris, people said they saw a different Mbappé rather than the one who was eager to join Real Madrid. Mbappé was offered a bulletproof contract by Paris Saint- Germain with at least a two-year confirmation and the option to extend the contract indefinitely. The huge signing fee was part of the deal, but that was a prologue. Paris Saint-Germain assured Mbappe that he will be the face of the club and he’ll be involved in important decisions like player signings, appointing a new manager and board members etc. After Mbappe’s renewal, Paris immediately parted ways with the manager, Mauricio Pochettino, and replaced sporting director Leonardo with Luis Campos. Reports are suggesting that Mbappé will earn 1 million euros per week, but the club sources denied this, saying it’s much less up to 40 million per year. Paris also denied the suspicion of increasing player power by saying it is in a similar state to what Messi’s role was with Barcelona. Mbappé wants to win the Champions League and, ironically, he chose to stay with the team who never won the European ultimatum rather than join the team who had won the competition for the 14th time and no team is close to them. This deal has turned into controversy rather than turning into the biggest deal in the history of football. La Liga president Javier Tebas has raised his voice over this deal and filed a complaint against Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City, the biggest money-spending clubs, by referring to UEFA's financial fair play rules and saying that La Liga will not allow a European club to destroy the ecosystem of European football. For Qatar Sports Investments, which owns Paris Saint-Germain, there is a broader appeal to Mbappé's renewal. This is the World Cup year and Qatar is the host. Many observers believe it would be embarrassing to lose Mbappé just before the country's big moment. Paris sources have denied this, arguing that the club only wants to retain the man they consider as the best footballer on the planet and that is exactly what they've done.

121 Finance has become India's first NBFC factor to be on-boarded onto the account aggregator ecosystem. This opens plenty of opportunities for businesses that wish to use factoring services. The new framework introduced by the RBI aims to make financial data more accessible by creating data intermediaries called 'Account Aggregators', who act as consent managers for customers. These account aggregators enable the sharing of the user's financial information with the user’s consent from a range of entities that hold consumer data. These entities are called 'Financial Information Providers' (FIPs). The information from the FIPs is provided, on request, to 'Financial Information Users' (FIUs) after obtaining the consent of the consumer. Account Aggregators (AA) are RBI licensed entities that have apps and digital portals which allows customers to create an account aggregator handle, link their existing financial accounts to the handle and give a use-based explicit consent to the AA to initiate the sharing of data from the FIP to FIU. Like UPI handles enable easy and secure flow of payments, AAs enable easy and secure flow of data between financial institutions. It uses a consent-based architecture that ensures that information cannot be shared without the consent of the customer. Customers can use the account aggregator to access financial services for their personal or business needs. Globally, data protection has been accorded the highest priority in the financial world. The account aggregator ethos allows data to be accessed on a need-to-know basis and is purely system-driven. Since no human is involved in the flow of information, chances of fraud are automatically eliminated. Data cannot be shared without the consent of all stakeholders. The account aggregator does not process or store any data, and all data is encrypted. “Sahamati is an industry alliance of account aggregator ecosystem offering several digital public goods for the participants in the AA ecosystem that allows individuals and small businesses to share their digital financial services data with a regulated third party. It is a regulated ecosystem where a customer knowingly gives consent for a specific purpose and a specific period to a specific recipient. We are excited about the opportunities the AA framework is able to open for Factoring with 121 Finance.”, says Mr. BG Mahesh, Co-Founder & CEO, Sahamati. Factoring is a way to provide funding to sellers who need the working capital to keep their production/ service cycle going. When the invoice raised by the seller is approved by the buyer, it is presented to a Factor who, in return for a fee or commission, agrees to fund about 80% of the cost of the invoice. The seller, now armed with enough working capital, can continue working towards their next cycle or pay off pending bills. It is essential for the Factor to have strong underwriting skills to assess the buyer's credit risk appetite. Commenting on 121 Finance's arrival on the Account Aggregator ecosystem Dr Ravi Modani, Founder and CEO, of 121 Finance said, "The Account Aggregator framework will enable us to provide better services in the origination, sourcing and underwriting of new customers. The accuracy of the underwriting algorithm will drastically improve, and we will be in a very strong position to identify risk factors. As more and more people join the platform, more use cases will be created, and the underwriting algorithm will keep improving with time. I am very happy that with our on-boarding on the Account Aggregator ecosystem, we will be able to better serve our customers access Working Capital through Factoring services." The launch of 121 Finance on the AA ecosystem will enable the scale up of innovative financial services products for MSMEs such as Factoring by making the entire process of data sharing and underwriting real time, digital consented, secured, and trusted. The benefits of the framework in terms of reducing the operational costs and credit costs of serving a customer for lenders can result in a big push to MSME lending. About 121 Finance Private Limited Jaipur-based 121 Finance is India’s first fintech led NBFC-Factor to receive the Certificate of Registration under RBI’s revised Registration of Factors Regulations (2022). A Digital Factoring company, on a mission to bring factoring, that was only available to corporates so far, to the MSMEs and especially support small ticket size trade to grow. Using financial technologies as leverage, the company is bringing disruptive upgrades to the world of Working Capital Finance with Factoring – collateral-free finance, Embedded Finance, Co-lending, and other customized short-term offerings. Headed by Dr Ravi Modani, Ph.D. in Working Capital Management, 121 Finance is focused on delivering Working Capital loans backed by the knowledge and understanding of its core team in its third-generation legacy in business, finance, and technology.

Nasir Shaikh brings experience, compassion and leadership together, to create a better learning and growing experience, for himself and others. Before taking on as the Group CEO, of The Lexicon Group of Institutes, Educrack and MultiFit, Mr Shaikh was a name to reckon with in the hospitality industry where he received many accolades and recognitions. Stay featured in conversation with Mr Nasir Shaikh a Hotelier turns Educationist. Q. How did this idea of EdTech startup EduCrack come into your mind? Ans. The idea for the EdTech startup EduCrack came from our team. As a company, we at The Lexicon Group of Institutes have always encouraged our teams to grow, innovate and embrace their entrepreneurial spirit. During one of our regular brainstorming sessions, a few of our team members passionately put forth the idea of creating a technology-based learning platform that helps aspiring professionals and students, successfully crack competitive exams provided at an affordable price point. After further brainstorming, EduCrack was established with a clear vision of providing Quality Education at an affordable price while ensuring enhanced approach and engagement to empower learners to "Crack it Now!". Educrack, I believe, truly stems from our motto, "Believe in Yourself". Q. According to you, Technology or Education, what comes first? Ans. There is no denying that a robust infrastructure is necessary to ensure that children are provided with a variety and the best resources to assist their learning journey. But at the same time, a holistic approach to education is also essential. Gone are the days when the chalk and talk method sufficed, and it was a free size. Today, the concept of inclusive education demands that every child receive access to the same quality of education irrespective of their gender, status and grasping capabilities etc. Evaluation has become more than a tool to verify recollection. It is also a tool to understand the comprehension and grasp of the students about a topic. To fulfil the current requirements in education, I believe that a combination of technology and pedagogy is necessary. Pedagogy provides the methodology to achieve holistic education, and technology offers the tools for effective delivery and resources. Q. Are we losing/vanishing the traditional way of teaching? Ans. My answer to this is that we are enhancing the traditional way of teaching to be more inclusive, to encompass and support the holistic learning and development of children. This enhancement comes from using digital resources to create an engaging and up-to-date curriculum that ensures the retention of facts and knowledge in students while also highlighting the application of the students' learnings in real life. Teachers - a crucial part of the traditional way of teaching still of great significance as it is the teacher that helps spark curiosity in a child, realizes the difficulties and motivates and assists the child to realize their potential. So, a teacher will always be an integral part of providing a tailored and wholesome learning experience to students, irrespective of technological advances. Additionally, teachers and experts from across the globe have become accessible and available virtually to add value to the students and their learning journey. Q. How do you see the global battle of B2B and B2C in the EdTech Industry? Ans. The EdTech industry that served as an addendum to regular education has become a part of mainstream education. There are various reasons for this, and one of them is the increased demand among professionals who wish to upskill to promote their personal growth. Also, growing competition among students, with the addition of a skill set and higher education taking priority over simply acquiring jobs, is a vital motivator for students seeking EdTech resources to supplement traditional learning. The EdTech industry offers software solutions as a tool to enhance the learning experience of students and professionals alike. The solutions provided to businesses and customers are distinct in their objectives. B2B segment caters to requirements that focus on building upon enhancing the existing curriculum concerning real-life applications and work to enhance the students learning experience. Whereas the B2C is focused more on creating an engaging and supportive experience directly for the students or learners with a pre-set guideline or curriculum. The B2B segment of EdTech caters to educational institutions like schools, universities, coaching centres and businesses looking to upskill their employees. The aim is to present a greater scope for customization and execution on-site, with continued support offered post-deployment, leading to an upsurge in partnerships among EdTech firms, educational institutions, businesses, and content developers. These collaborations have led to the creation of substantial opportunities in the educational technology sector. With partnerships becoming critical in the EdTech sector, the business (B2B) segment dominated the EdTech market in 2021, accounting for over 69.08% share of the global revenue, stated a report published by Grand view research. The B2C segment of the EdTech industry caters to individuals who drive their learning or utilize the service as a supplement to traditional academics. The B2C segment, though flourishing, finds itself lacking in market share due to high marketing investments and efforts required for the promotion and visibility of the service. Q. How is the EdTech market trend growing globally in India? Ans. Boasting a growing and flourishing industry, according to a report released by RBSA Advisors, the EdTech industry in India is set to grow to $30 Billion in the next 10years. EdTech has vast potential with applications in virtually every field and industry. One of the factors that drive the growth of the industry is the mindset of young professionals and students who wish to continue their learning journey. The generation that forms the young and dynamic workforce of the near future emphasizes personal growth and development, upskilling and moving up the professional ladder supported by academic and experiential learning, creating endless opportunities for education supported by technology to thrive. The advances in technology like the introduction of blockchain, artificial intelligence and its numerous applications also fuel the growth of the Ed-Tech industry. It offers teachers, educational institutes and learners various choices to select the best fit for them. Strategies like gamification, and Transmedia Edutainment in institutes, on online or tech-based learning platforms, have created a huge demand of engaging and motivational modules and courses, especially for students which will also propel research and development in the field of EdTech. Among others, the COVID-19 pandemic also played a crucial role in the momentum generated for the EdTech industry, with platforms like Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams etc., serving as key contributors to maintaining the smooth functioning of the education system. Q. How EduCrack will make its space in the market with all competitors and emerging EdTech startups? EduCrack has unique offerings that present students with a 'Complete Learning Ecosystem'. With EduCrack, we have embedded the resources required for learners to embark on and complete their virtual educational journey. During the first quarter of their learning journey, learners enrolled with EduCrack will have the opportunity for a physical interaction in Pune, which has been integrated into their curriculum. With this physical interaction, we endeavour to allow the students to meet with the Team of EduCrack and their peers to encourage collaboration and inspire an exchange of learnings. Also, a part of the services provided to enhance the students learning experience is the feature 'EduMeet', which will enable students to connect virtually and also extend this virtual meeting to in-person meeting through the exchange of ideas and notes. Unlike other EdTech platforms, the driving factor behind EduCrack has and never will be 'Valuation'. Instead, we focus on delivering value through education. At EduCrack, we strive to reach every corner of the world, urban and rural and provide aspiring, ambitious students, professionals, or individuals the opportunity to explore the various choices, benefit from them and achieve their professional and personal goals. According to me, this is the biggest differentiator between EduCrack and other EdTech platforms. Q. Explain- EdTech is the future of kids? Ans. Technological advances in education have led to the rapid globalization of the education industry, increasing the potential for schools or universities and other educational institutes to reach students and vice versa. The potential that EdTech brings has been noticed even by the most sought-after institutes across the globe who wish to capture this market by providing online certification options in various disciplines like Ivy League schools from abroad, IIMs in India etc. “The global education technology market size was valued at USD 106.46 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.5% from 2022 to 2030.”, according to a report published on the Grand View Research. I think EdTech companies in India will build on the positive experience of children and teachers with online learning platforms or tech-based learning experiences that highlight the advantages of technology-enabled learning and the benefits that technology could offer in enhancing the current curriculum. In light of the National Education Policy, rolled out in India, which envisions a comprehensive, multidisciplinary, and holistic approach to undergraduate education, I believe that the EdTech industry has bright prospects. It can and will cater to learners, meeting and delivering the requirements of undergrad education with an enhanced and tailored curriculum, unique topic blends, vocational integration, offering different admission and exit points with appropriate certification in future. The growing demand for advances in education technology due to its benefits in promoting education for all, assistance in upskilling, and improving the employability of individuals will further strengthen the future of the EdTech industry globally. Q. our readers are excited to hear Future plans of Educrack. Ans. With EduCrack, we aspire to be the catalysts for the youth of India to grow and, thereby, be of service to the nation by helping India grow. In India's growth and the growth of the youth is EduCrack's growth. With regards to the platform and the core structure, we will be enhancing and multiplying our offerings to include numerous courses and opportunities for the students. We will be assisting students with their preparation for competitive exams in the domestic and the international sphere. We strive to create a bouquet covering all educational aspects for our learners and empower them to achieve their learning and professional goals. By mid-2023, we aim to have at least 30 thousand learners complete their educational journey at and through EduCrack.

The blockbuster film has a full entertainer pack, and a great storyline and plot. Kartik Aryan and Kiara Advani has nailed it in BB2 .The story is about Manjulika. The scenes have fun comedy and also a spooky flavor in them. Kartik Aryan tweets : Aaryan tweeted, “#BhoolBhulaiyaa2 🤙🏻 Grows big time again. Thank you so much 🙏🏻❤️ Poore Family Ke Saath Keep Watching 😁😁.” Talking about acting Kartik Aryan, a boy who starts talking with evil spirits and he tells people that he has a god gift of seeing these demons and evils. So the story continues further. But the scenes also look made up. The meet scene of Kartik and Kiara looks like a made-up scene. The performance of Kiara in Amjee-Tomaar song is fantabolus. Her expressions show her quality of acting. Talking about Kartik, his comedy timing literally made the movie worth watching. Another character who doesn't let down with his acting is Rajpal Yadav. Another great character to look out for is Tabu. The climax of the movie is well designed and creatively and intelligently executed. Full marks to Anees Bazmee, and the writer's team, which is led by Aakash Kaushik. The Kartik Aaryan in horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 has managed to collect Rs. 171.17 crores in just 17 days with a lot more yet to come. The film saw a further increase in numbers on Sunday to bring in Rs. 3.45 crores and would now be aiming for daily collections over the weekdays to be in excess of Rs. 1 crore so that Rs. 175 crores are easily surpassed by the close of Week 4. The re-creation of the song Amjee Tomaar is also very nice to see. Tabu's role is a very crucial role in the film and it makes sense, with the story as what she has acted in the film. - Bollywood Hungama Legend actors like Milind Gunaji and Rajesh Sharma have also made the role par excellence. The Indian Express film critic Shalini Langer gave the film a mixed review. She wrote, “The comic parts offer only temporary relief, particularly as the butt of jokes are almost always the same unfortunate four, who appear to be there for solely that purpose. And these are only funny because some very good actors are playing some of their worst roles here. Not Kartik Aryaan though, who appears to have just walked from the set of one of his previous films, the hair never combed, the cockiness never reined in.” - Indian Express Leading in theatres in the 3rd week, it is rated 6.8/10 on IMDb To know more about me and to follow me : Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/neel.deshpande.2734 Instagram : I'm on Instagram as @neel.deshpande.

Motherhood is the most incredible experience of being a woman – the ability to create, carry and nurture a new life is indescribable. It is not a destination but a journey. I am blessed with two incredible children – a son and a daughter, aged 17 and 16 respectively. I was always told that I had a perfect family, what more could I wish for. And the truth is that I did not wish for much more than what I had, I was quite content with my life. I had always wanted to be a mother and I reached that milestone the day my son was born. And since that day, the journey into motherhood has been a rollercoaster ride. And now when my children are at the threshold of adulthood, ready to take off on their life journeys, I take a moment to look back on how have we fared – my children and myself. Today, I want to share with you all the fears, doubts and concerns that modern mothers go through while raising their children. The new generation of women is not contented with only being relegated to the domestic roles. They are capable of donning multiple hats and they try to do it with a flair. While this balancing act is not easy, it becomes even more difficult when motherhood kicks in. Women are conditioned to give precedence to children and family above everything else however in the world where a woman also tries to build her own identity, sometimes other things become a priority. And this is when guilt sets in. I want to share my experience with all the young mothers who are battling with balancing their careers and family. Ladies! Be proud of yourself – you are doing an incredible job! Here are a few tips and tricks that will help you to cope better: 1. Ask for help: You cannot do everything yourself so don’t hesitate to ask for help. Seeking help does not make you look weak or incompetent, it just means that you are pragmatic enough to understand that it takes a village to raise a child. Be specific with what you need help with and by whom. And then just go and ask for it. 2. Create a support system: Once you know what you need help with and who are you depending upon, appreciate the help you get. Nurture relationships to created to create a strong support system, which may include family members, friends or hired help. 3. Beware of Super Woman Syndrome: We are constantly bombarded with images and information about how successful women have achieved a perfect balance – they have flourishing careers, impeccable houses, successful children, proud husbands and above all they look like million dollars. Such examples, how-much-ever inspiring, put undue pressure on you to achieve the same high standards all the time. Remember, what you read or see in media is well-curated content. In reality, your struggles are real so occasionally, if your house is less than spotless, or chapatis are bad hair slightly over-done, or you having a bad-hair day – it is perfectly okay. 4. Make time for yourself: In taking care of everyone and everything, women tend to forget to care for their selves. Make time to yourself – pursue a hobby, meditate, watch a movie or just enjoy your solitary cup of tea (of coffee). Spending time with yourself is extremely important to recharge your batteries – it is your downtime and you must make sure you give it to yourself. As I said earlier, motherhood is not a destination you reach when your child is born, it is a journey that starts after reaching the destination. It will have its highs and lows but you will come out stronger and wiser every day – growing with your children.

Greetings! My name is Saartha Sameer Gore, I am 14 years of age, a teenager who expresses her emotions through dancing and writes poems in her free time as a way of expressing her thoughts, she also has an adoring for listening to music which is a therapy for her. Coming from an academic background my parents play a major role in my life. They have always motivated me to be the best version of myself regardless of how vast the situation is, my parents have always taught me to stay humble because respect is the hardest thing to achieve in life and that’s what my parents have earned in their field which they are excelling for 20 years and on. The amount of respect people shower at them always left me encouraged to be someone like them in my field. “Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder” the moment I read this quote and the beauty I saw when I witnessed a queen being crowned as “Fbb Femina Miss India” that was the moment I realised to do something for not only myself and my family but my country. Being a true believer in, “there is no turning back when achieving success”, my journey of modelling and pageantry started with a failure which not only demoralised me but also put me to an extent to quit course my parent's beliefs and constant support kept me motivated throughout. Being academically inclined my passion for modelling turned from bits of pages to a book. There was a time when I spent days thinking about how I didn’t fit right in this industry? But after 3-4 years of experience, one thing that truly made me realise is that in pageantries your talent and your intellectuality are the things that matter and are recognised.. not the colour of your skin tone, your weight or height. Until now I have won 15 pageant titles and have won many awards for the same in the fashion world which goes: Miss India Nakshatra 2021 Models Unity Club(S1) winner 2021 Miss Supernova 2021 Miss Nakshatra Maharashtra 2020 Traditional beauty 2020 Miss Pune junior 2019 Zeal miss Maharashtra Pune 2019 charming princess India 2019 Shining Star of Maharashtra 2019 And many more. I have also represented India in junior model international Dubai winning best introduction subtitle. Also, I grabbed many subtitles which include best personality, versatile, best participant, best ramp walk, miss gorgeous, fashion icon and so on. Also, I am the awardee of the international excellency award 2020, Naayab Kohinoor 2020, the real superwoman 2020, Best Achievers award 2019 My inspiration Priyanka Chopra Jonas inspires me to be confident in whatever I do and my ideal Mother Teresa motivates me to serve the needy in society. According to me, inner beauty is something that’s felt more than seen, inner beauty is found in someone’s care, warmth, affection, adoration and love. My grandparents have always seen me as a ray of hope. Their presence always makes me feel grateful for having both of them in my life. I am a favourite of my grandfather he loves to spoil me by bringing my grandmother’s homemade chicken, chocolates, clothes and many more but at the same time, he teaches me to save money for future investments which I till date follow. My grandmother is like my best friend, learning how to cook from her has always been on my to-do list she helps me understand how to be fortunate enough for the things I have and that’s what makes me adore her even more than I am. I truly believe in a balanced life where I aspire to become a cardiologist and represent India by being Miss World with the motto of beauty with purpose by supporting girl children and contributing full justice towards girls' education, gender equality, health care and the most important thing safety. My small message would be: Pursue the dreams you wanna pursue not because people want you to pursue them.. the mentality of the society will change once you prove that professions don’t define an individual’s character, when you believe you can do it, you already know that you will be a successful person.
