  • Anand Giri: Driving Affordable Housing Development in Mumbai’s Extended Suburbs

    Anand Giri: Driving Affordable Housing Development in Mumbai’s Extended Suburbs

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 6: Real estate developer and entrepreneur Mr Anand Giri has emerged as a significant contributor to the affordable housing landscape in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), with a focused presence in the fast-growing suburban corridors of Vasai, Virar, and Nala Sopara. His initiatives are centred on expanding access to formal housing while supporting sustainable regional growth.

    Mr Giri leads multiple real estate developments aimed at delivering legally compliant, quality, and affordable residential solutions, particularly for communities that have traditionally remained excluded from the formal property market. His projects are designed to enable home ownership for low-income families and residents transitioning from informal settlements, thereby fostering long-term social and economic stability.

    A strong social vision underpins his work. Mr Giri has consistently advocated inclusive urban development, emphasising the urgent need to provide dignified housing options for families living in slums across Mumbai. He has also actively positioned the Vasai–Virar–Nala Sopara belt as a promising residential and investment destination, highlighting its improving infrastructure, connectivity, and long-term growth potential.

    Affordability remains a cornerstone of his business philosophy. In a market often marked by high entry barriers, Mr Giri has introduced housing opportunities at highly accessible price points, with legally sanctioned flats offered at starting prices as low as ₹16 lakh, subject to eligibility and documentation norms. Transparency in transactions, including clearly defined pricing structures and loan eligibility processes, is a key differentiator of his approach.

    Beyond housing development, Mr Giri’s ventures have made a meaningful impact on the local economy. His growing business ecosystem supports an estimated 500 to 600 individuals, encompassing internal teams and an extensive network of channel partners, thereby generating sustained employment and livelihood opportunities across the region.

    Overall, Mr Anand Giri is recognised as a socially driven entrepreneur whose work reflects a balanced commitment to affordable housing delivery, economic empowerment, and inclusive regional development within Mumbai’s extended suburban landscape.

Tata Projects’ role encompasses overall project integration, constructability-driven design development, and execution readiness for a first-of-its-kind SAF facility in the region.

    Commenting on the development, Rajiv Menon, President & COO – Energy & Industrial Business, Tata Projects Limited, said,

  • The Listener Who Transformed Lives: Anitha Manickam’s Journey to Becoming an Iconic Marriage Coach

    The Listener Who Transformed Lives: Anitha Manickam’s Journey to Becoming an Iconic Marriage Coach

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 17: When most marriage counsellors talk about their expertise, they cite degrees, certifications, and years of practice. But ask Anitha Manickam, recently recognised as an Iconic Relationship & Marriage Coach, what shaped her approach to healing relationships, and she’ll take you back to a twelve-year-old girl in a Tamil Nadu village who simply knew how to listen.

    In an era where relationship coaching has become an increasingly sought-after profession, Anitha’s story stands out—not just for her fifteen years of successful practice, but for how her personal journey of transformation became the very foundation of her professional calling. Her recognition comes at a time when marriage counselling is shedding its stigma in India, with more couples seeking help to navigate the complexities of modern relationships.

    A Childhood Rooted in Silence and Sensitivity

    The irony of Anitha’s childhood couldn’t be more striking. Born into a large joint family where everyone—on both her mother’s and father’s side—was a teacher, she grew up surrounded by educators and advisors. Yet, in a house full of voices offering guidance and instruction, she felt profoundly alone.

    “Everyone around me had something to teach, something to correct, but nobody was listening,” she reflects.

    In that vacuum, she made a quiet resolution that would define her life’s work:

    “I will listen.”

    That resolution manifested early. By the time she was twelve or thirteen, something unusual began happening. People started coming to her, not seeking advice or solutions, but simply to share their stories. She listened without the impulse to judge or fix, seeing each narrative as just that—a story. She loved stories, and this gift of holding space for others felt, even to her young mind, divinely ordained.

    What she didn’t realise then was that this intuitive ability would become the cornerstone of a career that would touch hundreds of lives.

    Education, Identity, and the Loss of Instinct

    After graduation, Anitha pursued what seemed like a natural extension of her inclination—she studied pastoral care and counselling as part of mission studies in college. But formal education brought an unexpected consequence. The techniques and methodologies she learned began to overshadow the pure, instinctive listener she had been. The gift was getting buried under the weight of learned responses and professional frameworks.

    Anitha Manickam

    Marriage as the Turning Point

    Marriage changed everything.

    Moving to Mumbai as a young bride, Anitha found herself in a city that stood in stark contrast to her village upbringing, married to a man who, like her family, was in the teaching field. But observing her husband’s work became a turning point. As she watched him create possibilities for people through his teaching, something dormant within her began to reawaken.

    The listener of her youth was returning—this time with maturity, lived experience, and depth.

    The Birth of Oomang Counselling Centre

    The year 2009 marked a pivotal moment when Anitha and her husband opened Oomang Counselling Centre.

    Initially conducting workshops for schools, teachers, students, and parents, Anitha found validation in the feedback from parents who noticed tangible differences in their children. Her teaching extended to colleges, but alongside her professional growth, she was also becoming a student—of her husband’s research in Human Design and of Ontology through their involvement with Landmark Education.

    The study of being and existence fundamentally reshaped how she understood human relationships.

    Academic Excellence and Social Commitment

    Driven by a commitment to social impact, Anitha immersed herself in women empowerment and gender sensitisation, writing research papers and presenting at conferences. She eventually taught Master’s courses in Emotional Intelligence and Coaching at Mumbai University, building impressive academic credentials.

    But her most profound education was unfolding elsewhere.

    Marriage: The Deepest Classroom

    When conflicts arose with her husband, Anitha made an unconventional choice. Instead of applying traditional resolution methods, she chose radical honesty and deep inquiry into the nature of partnership itself.

    What she discovered was revelatory.

    Every struggle, every question, every concern she faced in her marriage began appearing—almost identically—in the couples who sought her counsel. Her challenges weren’t unique; they were universal. More importantly, the solutions she forged for herself became pathways for others.

    This realisation transformed her practice.

    Anitha Manickam

    Core Philosophy: Truths from Fifteen Years of Practice

    Fifteen years of marriage counselling have distilled certain truths that Anitha now brings to every session. Chief among them is the concept of “joint ownership”—the recognition that marriage creates something greater than the sum of two individuals, and both partners must acknowledge each other’s contribution to this shared creation.

    She teaches that choice always exists in a relationship, and the fundamental question isn’t about perfection but about priority:

    “Do you value what you’re building together more than your individual grievances?”

    She states plainly:

    “There is no perfect human and no perfect couple.”

    Her philosophy is both pragmatic and profound, perhaps best captured in her observation:

    “Marriage is a journey from attraction to acceptance.”

    A truth born not from academic theory, but from lived experience.

    Recognition Beyond Achievement

    Today, Anitha Manickam’s recognition as an Iconic Relationship & Marriage Coach acknowledges more than professional success. It honours a journey that began with a lonely child in a Tamil Nadu village who chose to listen, continued through a young woman who nearly lost that gift to formal education, and culminated in a practitioner who rediscovered her authentic voice through the challenges of her own marriage.

    She brings to her work a rare blend of intuitive wisdom, academic rigour, and hard-won personal insight.

    In a field often dominated by theoretical frameworks and clinical distance, Anitha’s approach remains refreshingly human. She doesn’t just counsel couples—she witnesses their stories without judgment, creates space for radical honesty, and helps them uncover possibility within difficulty.

    From a small village to Mumbai’s metropolitan landscape, from a twelve-year-old listener to an iconic coach, her journey mirrors the transformation she facilitates in others:

    from isolation to connection,
    from conflict to understanding,
    from suppression to authentic expression.

    Perhaps that is the truest measure of her success—she became the listener her younger self needed, and in doing so, became the guide countless couples were searching for.

  • PhonePe IPO Clears SEBI, Fintech Heavyweight Gears Up for Market Debut

    PhonePe IPO Clears SEBI, Fintech Heavyweight Gears Up for Market Debut

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 20: This one matters. PhonePe, India’s largest digital payments platform, has quietly crossed a critical regulatory hurdle. SEBI has approved its IPO plans, pushing the fintech giant closer to a blockbuster market debut.

    PhonePe has received approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India for its initial public offering, according to sources familiar with the matter. The approval follows the company’s confidential filing in September, a route increasingly favoured by large firms that prefer to test regulatory waters away from public glare.

    The move signals that India’s most dominant UPI player is preparing to step into the public markets at a moment when investor appetite is running hot.

    Walmart, which backs PhonePe through its majority ownership, is expected to partially offload its stake during the IPO. Microsoft and Tiger Global are also likely to sell a portion of their holdings, according to the same sources. None of the investors have publicly commented yet, and PhonePe has stayed silent so far. That silence is strategic, not accidental.

    India’s primary markets are enjoying one of their strongest runs on record. Fundraising volumes touched historic highs in 2025, driven by strong retail participation, improving corporate earnings, and a renewed belief in India’s long-term growth story. PhonePe’s IPO lands squarely in this sweet spot.

    Founded in 2015, PhonePe has grown from a simple payments app into the backbone of India’s everyday digital commerce. At last count, it controlled more than 45 percent of UPI transaction volume, making it the single largest player on the country’s real-time payments network.

    To put that scale in perspective, PhonePe processed 9.8 billion transactions in August alone. Total UPI transactions for the month stood at 21.6 billion, according to data from the National Payments Corporation of India. That’s not market leadership. That’s market gravity.

    The app boasts over 600 million registered users and supports payment solutions for nearly 50 million merchants. From kirana stores in Ahmedabad to high-end retailers in Bengaluru, PhonePe QR codes are everywhere. It’s no longer just a fintech brand. It’s infrastructure.

    Financially, PhonePe is showing signs of discipline, even if profitability remains a work in progress. In regulatory filings ahead of the IPO, the company reported that its losses narrowed to 17.2 billion rupees for the year ended March 2025. A year earlier, losses stood at 19.96 billion rupees.

    That direction matters. Investors are no longer chasing growth at any cost. They want scale, yes, but they also want a credible path to sustainability. PhonePe seems to be getting the message.

    The broader context strengthens the case. India’s digital payments ecosystem has matured rapidly, driven by government-backed UPI rails, smartphone penetration, and behavioural shifts accelerated by the pandemic. PhonePe has ridden that wave better than anyone else.

    Still, the IPO will test public market sentiment toward fintech business models that rely heavily on transaction volume rather than fat margins. That’s where execution, pricing discipline, and narrative will matter.

    For Walmart, the IPO represents an opportunity to unlock value from one of its most successful India bets. For Indian markets, it’s another signal that homegrown tech champions are ready to be judged on global standards.

    For everyday users, it’s simpler. The app you use to pay for chai is about to face the scrutiny of Dalal Street.
