New Delhi [India], November 4: Milind Sulekha Purushottam’s journey in the film industry is marked by an impressive breadth of experience across various creative roles, reflecting his versatility and dedication to Indian cinema. From his early days, Milind demonstrated a commitment to honing his craft, taking on diverse roles such as assistant director, associate director, and editor on a range of projects, including Doordarshan serials, Hindi and Marathi films, and web series. Among these notable projects was Bodhivruksha, a Hindi serial aired on Lord Buddha TV, and Caravan Ek Kafila, a docu-vision project where Milind contributed significantly in the still and making departments.

Milind’s technical expertise and creative eye also brought depth to his work as a di-colorist for the Marathi blockbuster Zhalla Bobhata, further showcasing his ability to shape a film’s visual narrative with meticulous detail. His own productions, such as Bhook: The Hunger and Tezaab: The Burning Wound, have not only earned him industry respect but also awards, including the prestigious Veer Tanaji and Queen of Jhansi Award in 2022 and recognition at the Satara Bhushan ceremony. These accolades stand as a testament to his significant impact on Indian film and culture, solidifying his role as an accomplished filmmaker and entrepreneur whose contributions continue to resonate deeply within the industry.

Milind Sulekha Purushottam’s journey is a story of inspiration, resilience, and a profound commitment to storytelling that has left an indelible mark on Indian cinema. Growing up in Navi Mumbai, Milind was shaped by a strong educational foundation, attending St. Mary’s High School in Vashi and later studying industrial electronics at Fr. Agnel Polytechnic. His early foundation in technology would later play a unique role in his career, but his true passion for cinema was ignited by an unexpected source close to home.

One of the most pivotal figures in Milind’s life is his sister, Dr. Chitra Kamble, who played a key role in inspiring his creative journey. Recognizing his artistic potential, she gifted him his first camera, planting the seeds of his cinematic dreams. This simple yet profound gesture opened the door to a world where Milind could channel his life experiences and emotions into storytelling, shaping his path as an artist and filmmaker.

In 2013, Milind launched his first web series, That Night, under his production house, FGM Film Production & Management. Although only one episode was initially released due to technical challenges, this initial project became a defining moment in his career. Now, with renewed enthusiasm and a fresh horror-thriller concept, Milind is re-launching That Night in collaboration with his friend and esteemed author Krishna Mohan Avancha. With over 150 books to his name, Krishna has captivated audiences with his work in the horror and spiritual genres, particularly with his latest book, Indian Ancient Knowledge of Mudras, which delves into the power of ancient healing practices. While Krishna hasn’t directly contributed to That Night, his dedication to literature and cultural depth has continually fueled Milind’s passion for storytelling.

Milind also acknowledges Krishna as a key collaborator on their upcoming web series, Shadows of 333 and That Night, produced under FGM Film Production & Management. Directed by Milind, the series is highly anticipated for its compelling storytelling and captivating visuals, blending Krishna’s literary influence with Milind’s cinematic vision to deliver a thrilling audience experience.

Another significant influence on Milind’s journey has been his cousin Avinash M. Jadhav, a notable filmmaker in the Indian film industry, whose mentorship and support helped him navigate the complexities of cinema. Avinash’s guidance has been invaluable in Milind’s progression from a promising director to an award-winning filmmaker and the founder of a successful production house.

In addition to his film career, Milind’s journey is marked by resilience during challenging times. During his early struggles, he joined 3i Infotech Ltd. to support his livelihood, where he has now been a dedicated employee for nearly nine years. Balancing a full-time job with his work as an entrepreneur and filmmaker, Milind continues to pursue his dreams with unwavering dedication. His journey exemplifies his motto, “Make your dreams follow your vision,” which has guided him through every obstacle.

Family and friends have played an essential role in supporting Milind throughout his journey. Alongside his parents, Shri Purushottam Kamble and Sulekha Kamble, who instilled in him a deep respect for culture, and Purva Sachin Mohite, a steadfast source of moral support, Milind’s network of loved ones has been a wellspring of inspiration and encouragement. These influences have propelled him to achieve his dreams and inspired him to share stories that reflect both his personal journey and broader social narratives.

As Milind continues to build on his legacy, he is currently working on a novelized autobiography, which will delve into his life, struggles, and the lessons learned along the way. For Milind Sulekha Purushottam, storytelling is more than a profession—it is a calling. Through his work, he hopes to inspire others to pursue their dreams with determination and to embrace the transformative power of creativity.

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], October 28: Have you ever been to a space that felt nothing less than a luxurious palace? The intricacies, timeless fixtures, and intimate aura create a cohesive moment altogether.

If you’ve ever dreamt of designing a home that way, Sun Interiors can make it real. And no, it wouldn’t nick your pocket either.

But you know, we weren’t always this good at creating wonders of homes. So, we wonder today…how did we become the best in Pune today? How did Sun Interiors start turning ordinary interiors into a luxury?

It’s been two decades since we started, and here’s our story.

How Far We’ve Come…

Sun Interiors started the tale of creating cosy interiors 24 years back. Since then, we have earned the reputation of designing the most eye-gazing spaces in Pune.

Our team of creative interior designers have designed over 500 spaces, so far. It wouldn’t be wrong to say their picks on a room’s aesthetics, accents, and colour are untouched. The attention to detail that each of them has is impeccable.

The Power of 3D Visualisation

In the past few years, we’ve also come up with the 3D visuals of interior planning. This approach helps our clients to visualise their dream space on a screen — just before turning it into a reality.

Awards & Recognition

Two years ago, Sun Interiors received the honour of the Maharashtra Udyog Bhushan Award 2022. Our founding director, Mr. Sampat Mhaske, went up the stage to receive the recognition of his years of creative consistency. In addition, this reward made Sun Interiors’ vision to create ‘new’ became clearer, bolder, and stronger.

Our Slogan for Creating ‘New’

Timeless interiors never fade away; they stay brand new. Such interiors are nothing less than a dream. Our designers know that, and so, we align with four words: “Transforming Spaces, Creating Dreams”.

The idea of creating ‘new’ isn’t about quick changes. Instead, it’s about transforming a space once with efficient planning.

Designers at Sun Interiors implement this well. For instance, if we have to design a small-sized room, we plan to use the space effectively. A sofa cum bed and modular storage space are great additions.

Instead of creating something new and extraordinary, how about crafting a gold space out of the existing?

Timeless, Lively Interiors

Trends change all the time. But, does that mean you’d change your home too? No.

Sun Interiors creates timeless interiors that never fade away in time. The style, patterns, details, and aura stay the same throughout, even after 20 years. And that’s how a house becomes a beautiful home.

Creating a timeless interior doesn’t mean including all the vintage pieces. The charm can also come with curved furniture, ceramic pots or wooden fixtures.

The key is finding a balance between modernity and timelessness, and we know it.

We Do It All: ‘New & Bold’

From timelessly elegant paintings to modern furniture, we bring complete charm to our interior projects. The best lies in variety, doesn’t it?

In residential spaces, our creativity goes beyond living rooms and false ceilings. But, that doesn’t stop us from soaring higher. Commercial interiors like offices and conference rooms are also our suite.

But even for the most intriguing interiors, your pocket wouldn’t be nicked. Sun Interiors creates the new & bold on a budget hold.

It’s More Than Just ‘Design’

Interior design is more than accent lights and layered wall patterns. It’s the minute details that make a space what it is — the mirror work, colour combinations, artefacts. All of them must be chosen wisely.

Sun Interiors takes these into our hands. Our wide network of vendors helps source the best of everything — furniture, wallpapers, ceilings, and more. So, you don’t have to find any fixtures for the interiors.

Each interior style is different, and so are its features. Hygge style is all about natural light, for instance. However, traditional modern interiors have a dimly lit, intimate feel.

However, what makes each interior different is the owner’s persona. Sun Interiors ensures to maintain that persona in our clients’ interiors. Thus, making each interior style personalised.

Turning Ordinary Into a Luxury

In the past two decades, Sun Interiors has turned over 500 ordinary spaces into a luxury hall. Our clients’ feedback says it all — most of them applauding our team’s aesthetic sense.

“Sun Interiors understood all our requirements and fulfilled them,” says one of them. Others speak of the details and strict timelines of their project, which were all taken care of.

We believe that to create a luxurious style, the ordinary has to be tweaked. So, we twist the original style and turn it into something new. Moreover, what we have is the trust of our customers that Sun Interiors will create nothing less than a masterpiece.

The persona of your home is all yours. A time-conscious design just adds clarity to it.

The event also unveiled a coffee table book showcasing the winning entries from the Mangroves Through My Lens competition, along with award presentations, expert panel discussions, art installations, and interactive sessions.

A key aspect of the festival was the successful technical session featuring eminent speakers such as Shri Umakant (Additional Principal Chief Conservator of Forest & Chief Wildlife Warden), Shri Pabhjot Sodhi (Senior Program Director of Circular Economy at Centre for Environment Education), Smt.

These ecosystems serve as natural barriers against coastal erosion and extreme weather events, playing a crucial role in protecting our shores. By conserving and restoring mangroves, we are investing in the health of our environment and the future of our communities. The Mangrove Odyssey offers an excellent opportunity for everyone to learn about these ecosystems and participate in their protection. Together, we can create a sustainable future that prioritizes the preservation of our natural heritage.”

The Mangrove Odyssey, launched earlier this month, focused on Goa’s invaluable mangrove forests along the Zuari, Mandovi, and Terekhol rivers, which face threats from urbanization, pollution, and tourism.

Throughout October, OneEarth Foundation organized Mangrove Trails every weekend at sites like the Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary and Divar Islands, featuring expert-led tours and nature classrooms that fostered lasting awareness among youth. The initiative also included a state-level art competition and a pan-India photography contest, Mangroves Through My Lens, showcasing the beauty of mangroves. A major highlight was the Mangrove Musicana event, where musician Anal Jha used bamboo flutes, didgeridoos, and handpans to create a soundscape that harmonized with the serene mangrove surroundings. In addition, a culinary workshop by Chef Michael Swamy introduced participants to sustainable mangrove ingredients and traditional Goan flavors, emphasizing the role of cuisine in raising environmental awareness.

Pirojsha Godrej Foundation is the campaign’s Sustainability Partner. Nyrika Holkar, Executive Director, Godrej Enterprises Group said, “The Mangrove Odyssey is an exemplary initiative by OneEarth Foundation, to heighten awareness about Goa’s rich mangrove ecosystems through community engagement and highlight the vital role it plays in sustaining biodiversity and protecting coastal communities. We are proud to support this program that is closely aligned with our commitment to environmental stewardship as well as ensuring harmony between development and nature. Campaigns like this remind us that conserving our natural heritage is not just a responsibility but a shared journey for our sustainable future and future generations.”

OneEarth Foundation’s Mangrove Odyssey was supported by esteemed partners like the Pirojsha Godrej Foundation as Sustainability Partner and knowledge collaborations with the Mangrove Society of India, St. Joseph Vaz College, and the Centre for Environment Education.

New Delhi [India], October 29: Over the last decade, Indian real estate has witnessed some tremendous changes. According to experts, it is an example of a shining India. Like all other sectors, technology has also made its inroads in real estate. Some market analysts say this trend is here to stay. Today, searching for a house online is possible, and this is a common practice adopted by potential buyers and corporate houses. These have emerged as the optimum medium for selling or leasing apartments and attracting new buyers. The target audience of such campaigns is usually Gen Z and tech-savvy people.

Shravan Gupta, MGF Group, says digital house hunting is the latest trend for 2024. The experts say this will become more prominent and the go-to medium for the real estate segment.

Digital house hunting as the trendsetter

Today, almost everything is sold on social media and the internet. Hence, builders, too, are encased by this change. It is scarce for a person to go house hunting physically due to lack of time and distance. And digital house hunting is the solution to this problem.  Shravan Gupta, MGF Group, says most builders have their own websites to promote new and current housing projects. The presence of online real estate portals like makaan.com is on the rise. And one can view everything about the property from the comfort of their office.  This trend will continue for a few more years as the world becomes more tech-savvy.

Single avenue for information

It is hard to find a house which meets all your criteria by visiting physically every place. But in digital house hunting, it is possible to locate your dream home by providing details like price, locality, carpet area, and nearby places. This saves travel time and gives you a picture of your dream home through AI or 3D models.

All this can be done with the touch of a single click. This will boost sales in the housing and commercial segment. And popularize India as the ultimate destination for your next home. Experts say this is likely to attract more NRI investors and buyers. A trend that will make India a global market.

Ease of doing business

The paperwork takes a long time when buying flats. But now it is possible to do all such work online and save time. The banks have eased the rules by providing online housing loans, which has eased the process for buyers. A housing or commercial loan can be availed at a single click. It also allows one to compare the loan rates from the comfort of home or office. This has also brought transparency in the real estate segment, proving beneficial for builders. Shravan Gupta, MGF Group, believes this is a welcome change and a boon for the real estate sector. The advent of technology has made it possible to learn about EMIs and make deductions available through attractive schemes.

Digital house hunting is on the boom in the Indian real estate segment. It signals a positive sign for the growth of the sector and is beneficial for the Indian economy. Going forward, most real estate companies will have to adopt the digital policy first.
