Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 29: The Mumba Devi Temple has long been a symbol of Mumbai’s rich heritage. About 25,000 people visit the temple every Sunday. Be it the provision of clean drinking water, medical assistance or wheelchair facility for people with mobility challenges, the Mumba Devi Trust has been taking proactive steps to ensure the well-being and comfort of the devotees. This has been made possible by the generous donations of its patrons and believers which include some eminent figures like Mr. Anant Mukesh Ambani.

While talking about Mr. Anant Mueksh Ambani, Hemant Jadhav, Manager of the Mumba Devi Trust said, “Mandir ke development ke liye Anantji ne directly unhein contact karne ke liye bola hai.”

The donations made are not just for upkeep and maintenance of the temple infrastructure, but also help the people associated with the Mumba Devi Temple. Jadhav further added, “Diwali ho, Holi ho, koi bhi tyohaar ho, Anantji ne mandir ke staff ki hamesha madad ki hai. Kisi ko medical help chahiye toh unhone madad ki, Reliance Hospital ne madad ki, Covid ke samay unhone hamare mandir ke poore staff ko 3 baar poore maheene ka raashan donate kiya.”

In the future, the Mumba Devi Trust plans to extend its hand for the good of others, including the construction of an old-age home. They are actively scouting for suitable locations in and around the city to make this vision a reality. This demonstrates the Trust’s unwavering commitment to serving not only the spiritual needs of the community but also its welfare and well-being.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 28: Lalbaugcha Raja, Mumbai’s beloved Ganesh idol, has returned to the city, bringing prosperity and joy. Anant Ambani and many other devotees join hands in reverence to show their support. This revered deity, about to celebrate its 90th year, has a remarkable history. During the industrialisation of the 1930s, when textile workers were losing their livelihoods, the people of Lalbaug turned to Lord Ganesha for solace, and their devotion helped them survive. 

Anant Ambani and his family are dedicated devotees of Lalbaugcha Raja and actively participate in the Lalbaug committee’s activities. The consistent and selfless contributions of such devotees have allowed the trust to run a multitude of programmes and initiatives that have positively impacted countless lives.

Anant Ambani has also contributed to the Rugna Sahayya Nidhi Yojna aimed at aiding surgeries in neighbouring hospitals. The devastating floods in 2021 affected several cities in Maharashtra, including Raigad, Ratnagiri and Satara. Our team was able to provide flood relief items to those affected due to generous donations by Anant Ambani.”

In a move that could reshape the future of youth development in India, John Buchanan, the former Australian cricket coach celebrated for leading his team to two World Cup victories, is making waves with his Ready Steady Go Kids (RSGK) program. 

Buchanan’s journey began by sharing his knowledge with preschool owners and principals in Mumbai on 18th Sept, targeting children aged 1.5 to 7 years. What followed was an ambitious six-city tour of India, including Hyderabad (Sept. 19), Bangalore (Sept. 20), New Delhi (Sept. 21), Chandigarh, and Jaipur (Sept. 22).

In an exclusive interview, Buchanan explained the core of the RSGK program, describing it as “a meticulously designed Australian program created by pediatric occupational therapists, tailored to meet the unique needs of young children.” Notably, this program has seen immense success not just in Australia but in several countries worldwide.

The heart of RSGK lies in imparting fundamental movement skills to young children through 13 diverse sports activities. Buchanan emphasized, “This program is one of the finest globally, offering significant physical, social, emotional, and psychological benefits to young children. It also imparts invaluable life lessons and discipline.”

Ready Steady Go Kids India has already set up five centers in Mumbai and Vadodara, and their vision for the next five years is nothing short of audacious: to establish over 150 franchisee-based programs nationwide, complete with a specialized curriculum tailored for preschool children. Moreover, preschools all across India can seamlessly integrate this program into their offerings, ensuring easy access for children and parents alike.

Jay Shah, Co-founder of The Sports Gurukul and CEO of Ready Steady Go Kids India, weighed in on the current state of sports in India. He believes that the lack of a sporting culture in the country isn’t solely due to a lack of facilities or funds but primarily due to a dearth of innovative ideas and initiatives.

Buchanan’s RSGK program offers a unique blend of physical activity, social interaction, emotional development, and essential life skills. It’s a holistic approach that caters to the complete growth of a child, something that’s often overlooked in traditional educational settings.

With its emphasis on instilling a love for sports and physical activity from a young age, RSGK has the potential to address several challenges faced by India’s youth today. Rising rates of childhood obesity and a sedentary lifestyle are pressing concerns. RSGK can help combat these issues by making physical activity fun and accessible, right from the preschool years.

Furthermore, the program’s structured curriculum and professional guidance ensure that children not only enjoy sports but also learn important life skills like teamwork, discipline, and goal-setting. This combination of physical and mental development is a recipe for success, setting children on a path toward a healthy and fulfilling life.

From a business perspective, RSGK is a promising opportunity for entrepreneurs and preschool owners. The program’s proven success in Australia and 13 + other countries demonstrates its market potential. The demand for quality early childhood education that goes beyond academics is on the rise in India, and RSGK fits perfectly into this niche.

In conclusion, John Buchanan’s Ready Steady Go Kids program is more than just a business opportunity; it’s a movement to empower India’s youth through sports and holistic development. With its innovative approach and ambitious expansion plans, RSGK has the potential to positively impact the lives of countless children and create a thriving business ecosystem in India’s early childhood education sector.

New Delhi (India), September 27: What do you think of when it comes to dessert? How far can your imagination go? This is a question Urvi and Nikesh Gala asked themselves repeatedly as they charted the course for their brand, The Dessert Republic®, a dessert café inspired by the founders’ passion, knowledge of the dessert space, and travels across the globe.

With an aggressive appetite for innovation and fire in their bellies, Urvi and Nikesh set out to push the boundaries of dessert. The idea was to reinvent what the everyday consumer knew of dessert and through countless experiments and relentless testing, they crafted the extensive menu that is available today at The Dessert Republic® and continue to add more inventive desserts to it.

“From the outset, we were clear that we wanted The Dessert Republic® to be an experience like no other. And when it came to the dessert, we wanted to bring the phrase, “like a child in a candy store” to life. That’s the feeling we want to evoke when you visit The Dessert Republic®.” says co-founder Urvi Gala. Co-founder Nikesh Gala adds, “We have an endless variety of dessert options that leave you spoilt for choice. This was the niche that we created in the market – serving up inventive and indulgent desserts in the market.”

We have to say we agree! Almost every item on the menu is a testament to The Dessert Republic®’s culinary ingenuity. We walked into the dessert café on a very humid day and were yearning for something cool. The staff recommended the glorious Pop Me Purple, a refreshing Japanese yuzu cooler topped off with a shot of blue pea tea. Curious about the unique name, we went through the menu and were astounded to see the sheer variety of inventive dishes on the menu.

The Greek Waffle Bites piqued our interest, and we found the concept very interesting. Inspired by Urvi and Nikesh’s travels to Greece where they tried gaufres (more commonly known as waffles in the West), the Greek Waffle Bites are The Dessert Republic®’s unique take on gaufres with a twist – they come in the form of crispy, bite-sized loaded waffles. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. In the few hours we spent at this dessert café, we tried a variety of drinks and dishes, such as the Mexican Hot Nachos, the Mocha Crackle Candy Waffle, the Berry Berry Mochi Ice Cream, the Brownie and Salted Caramel Popcorn Binge Bowl, the Iceberg Cookie Cream Creamsicle, and beverages such as the Kaffir Lime, Pink Dash, Cocoa Crunch On The Rocks Frappe, and the Kashmiri Kahwa. Another inventive take on desserts, the Chef’s Inventions caught our fancy, especially the Hazelnut Spin Pull Me Out – a pull-me-up nutty twist drizzled with chocolate.

It’s not just the desserts that steal the show. There’s something to be said about the meticulously curated ambience, with games, books, and an Instagram-worthy cosy nook. The founders spent close to 6 months working on getting the interiors right and they have ensured that the ambience is distinctive at each of their outlets in Mumbai, Vadodara, and New Delhi. As the evening went by, we saw just how many loyal patrons queued up to experience the joy of desserts – and what we loved about seeing them line up was the concept of the Smile Door – where patrons have to flash a smile at the door camera in order for the door to slide open so that they can enter. The founders have also spent 18 months finessing their endless exploration of desserts down to a singular menu. The brand has had people visiting its Mumbai outlet repeatedly, travelling all the way from not just different parts of Mumbai, but across the country and also Dubai, Zambia, New Zealand, and the USA.

With a fabulous ambience and a plethora of dishes to choose from, it’s no wonder that The Dessert Republic® has garnered such a massive fan following both IRL and on social media. Its scrumptious desserts, warmth and hospitality, charming ambience, and endeavour to be a happy place for its patrons ensure that it’s a repeat visit for a lot of its loyal customers and we recommend that you visit this Instagrammable dessert café soon!
