Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], May 21:  MindEscapes® Group, India’s premier ideas, innovation, and collaboration facilitators, announced the launch of Club Excellence Awards—a first-of-its-kind, independently validated recognition for India’s private members and social clubs. The inaugural Club Excellence Awards will recognise India’s leading clubs for the year 2025– 2026. In keeping with the award’s mission to drive sustained excellence, all clubs—whether recognised this year or aspiring for the next—will be invited to participate in the annual Club Excellence rankings. This ongoing cycle encourages a culture of continuous feedback, innovation, and progress within India’s club ecosystem.

Designed to celebrate excellence in India’s private members and social club ecosystem, this listing and recognition are based entirely on the feedback from over 1000 exclusive members of various clubs across India. Participants in the survey include verified club members who belong to leading clubs across seven major metros—Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Chennai. They have rated the clubs across five critical dimensions: (1) Facilities & Amenities, (2) Service & Hospitality, (3) Member Engagement, (4) Community Impact, (5) Innovation & Sustainability.

Dipali Sikand, Chief Inspiration Officer, MindEscapes® Group said “Club Excellence awards, like everything we do under the MindEscapes® Group banner, are backed by a passionate need for data-driven excellence. These awards have been instituted not just to honour achievements of private members clubs in India, but to set benchmarks based on actionable feedback for clubs to evolve and thrive.”

The awards framework, process, and independent validation are by LeadCap Ventures to ensure the ranking and selection process is rigorous and impartial. By combining real member feedback with robust data analytics and third-party validation, the Club Excellence Awards set a much-needed benchmark for credibility and transparency in private members club recognition.

Speaking on the occasion of the announcement, Sangeeth Varghese, Founder & Chairman, LeadCap Ventures commented “The heart of the Club Excellence Award is its rigorous survey and unbiased validation—giving every club member a voice in setting new standards of excellence”

The awards will be based on multi-stage validation, from member voices to expert reviews. The scoring weightage of the unique three-stage scoring and validation process is as follows:

• Member Voting (Weight: 70%): The primary score is driven by member ratings across the five defined pillars.
• Expert Panel Assessment (Weight: 30%): An expert panel, comprising industry specialists, evaluates clubs on documented evidence, operational standards, innovation, and community impact, ensuring professional rigour.
• Composite Scoring and Normalisation: Scores from members and experts, combined through a transparent, weighted system, and normalised for fairness across clubs of varying sizes and response rates.

The Club Excellence Awards stand on the pillars of a scientific, transparent, and deeply member-centric approach. The award’s foundation is a comprehensive survey process—one of the largest of its kind in India’s club sector—designed to ensure fairness, credibility, and inclusivity. Winners will be recognised in ceremonies across India’s major cities. They will also be invited to participate in the Club Excellence Program—a co-delivered consultancy for continued growth, powered by the insights of the survey.

New Delhi [India], May 20: As the world leans deeper into emotional intelligence, energy healing, and ancestral connection, the ancient art of mediumship is finding new light—and new leaders. Today’s spirit mediums are not just channels to the other side; they are grief healers, karmic translators, and energetic architects guiding people toward peace and purpose.

Among the few who truly transform lives through spirit communication, one name is rising with quiet power and undeniable presence: Psychic Medium Daksh.

1. Psychic Medium Daksh (India | Global)

Have you ever sat alone and whispered to someone who’s no longer here, hoping they’d hear you?
Have you ever wished for just one more sign… one more message… one more moment?

In 2025, more people than ever are turning to Spirit Mediums not just for answers, but for peace, healing, and proof that love never dies.

But in a world filled with psychics, how do you know who to trust?

This year’s global list reveals the rare few who don’t just talk to spirits—they deliver messages that make hearts stop, tears fall, and lives transform. These Spirit Mediums offer more than mystery. They offer moments of undeniable truth—the kind that can only come from beyond the veil.

And standing at the forefront of this sacred movement is one name rising across continents with soul-shaking accuracy and grounded spiritual power:

Psychic Medium Daksh – the most accurate Spirit Medium emerging from India, now touching lives around the world.

From ancient soul readings to modern grief healing, his work is creating a new gold standard in spiritual communication. If you’re looking for the real ones—the mediums who truly bridge two worlds—you’re exactly where you need to be.

His sessions go beyond mere messages. Whether he’s uncovering soul contracts through Akashic Record readings or connecting grieving families with departed loved ones, Psychic Medium Daksh brings healing where it’s most needed—through truth, through connection, and spirit.

Why Psychic Medium Daksh Stands Apart

• 30,000+ global clients and counting
• Known for grief-based spirit communication, ancestral healing & karmic insights
• Real-time availability and emotionally present sessions
• Deeply rooted in Indian spiritual wisdom, yet globally resonant
• Accessible to both first-time seekers and advanced spiritual practitioners

2. Tyler Henry (USA)

With his Netflix show “Life After Death”, Tyler has become the face of celebrity mediumship in America. He channels messages with a gentle, boyish charm—but long waiting lists and limited access make his sessions a rare luxury for the everyday seeker.

3. Lisa Williams (UK/USA)

A spiritual teacher and clairvoyant, Lisa brings British intuition to a global stage. Known for workshops and online trainings, she is a beacon in the mediumship education space. One-on-one sessions, however, are usually restricted to premium events.

4. Gordon Smith (Scotland)

Nicknamed “Britain’s most accurate medium,” Gordon delivers spirit messages with no theatrics—just deep validation and heartfelt truths. His sessions are mostly available via limited workshops across the UK.

5. James Van Praagh (USA)

A legendary figure in mediumship, James brought spirit communication to the mainstream with bestselling books and television shows. These days, he’s focused on courses and his spiritual academy, making personal readings extremely exclusive.

Why Psychic Medium Daksh Is Becoming a Global Force

In an era of scripted sessions and spiritual celebrity, Psychic Medium Daksh offers what the world truly craves: presence, precision, and peace. His clients don’t just hear from loved ones—they feel them. They don’t just receive answers—they receive energetic closure.

“The moment he said a phrase only my grandmother knew—I knew. She was there. And he brought her voice back to me.” – Client Testimonial, Toronto

Where many media outlets focus on performances or programs, Psychic Medium Daksh focuses on people. His warmth, cultural grounding, and clairvoyant clarity are making him a spiritual anchor for thousands, especially those navigating grief, confusion, or karmic entanglement.

The Medium You Can Reach—and Feel

In the global mediumship landscape, Psychic Medium Daksh is creating a new archetype: not the unreachable mystic or theatrical performer, but the accessible, soul-aligned guide who walks with you through loss, love, and life’s deeper questions.

Whether you’re grieving a loved one, untangling karmic patterns, or simply curious about what your soul is here to learn, Psychic Medium Daksh helps you see through the veil. And what’s on the other side? Love. Always love.

“The spirit world isn’t far. It’s waiting for you to listen. I’m just here to help you hear it clearly.” – Psychic Medium Daksh

New Delhi [India], May 17: Grace met grandeur as Mrs. Nidarshana Gowani, trustee of the Kamala Ankibai Ghamandiram Gowani Trust, made a spectacular statement at the Cannes Film Festival 2025. She graced the red carpet in a breathtaking red saree woven with silver zari, intricately embellished with bead and sequin work, handcrafted by local Indian artisans — a proud nod to India’s timeless textile heritage and support for grassroots craftsmanship and entrepreneurship.

Marking her fourth appearance at Cannes as a representative of India, Mrs. Gowani chose the powerful symbolism of the red saree to celebrate the spirit of the Indian woman — a bold tribute to love, power, and passion. The color red, in Indian culture, represents auspiciousness and feminine energy. It’s the color of beginnings, often worn by brides, and closely associated with sindoor — a symbol of strength, identity, and sacred commitment.

Through her ensemble, Mrs. Gowani honored the true Indian feminist who stands rooted in culture while confidently embracing the global stage. The red and silver weave echoed resilience and grace, reflecting a narrative of strength, beauty, and progress.

Completing her look was “The Majestic Allure” — a one-of-a-kind necklace designed by Gautamm Ghanasingh (GBTBETRUE). Featuring a mesmerizing blend of diamonds and Colombian emeralds, the piece drew inspiration from the cascading waterfalls of India, symbolizing feminine flow and spiritual power. With thousands of hours of meticulous craftsmanship by over a hundred Indian artisans, the necklace stood as a shining testament to the Make in India initiative and the legacy of Indian fine jewellery.

“Adornment isn’t just decoration — it’s heritage carved in stone,” said Mrs. Gowani. Her appearance was a masterclass in blending cultural pride with global sophistication — a tribute to Indian artisans, a celebration of womanhood, and a bold redefinition of modern luxury with meaning.

Trishla’s necklace, too, told a dazzling tale of heritage and identity. Featuring some of the rarest and most exceptional diamonds and Colombian emeralds, the piece was a result of years of design and sourcing. Handcrafted with legacy in mind, not just style, the jewellery celebrated the rare and real gems of India.

In her third appearance on the Cannes red carpet, Trishla chose a clean, minimalist look that reflects the refined elegance of today’s Gen Z — all while staying true to her roots and love for GBTBETRUE. Her look perfectly balanced modernity with a sense of tradition, continuing the family’s commitment to showcasing India’s creative brilliance on a global stage.

New Delhi [India], May 19: Siddharth Maurya, Founder and Managing Director of Vibhvangal Anukulakara Private Limited, shares insights into the firm’s impressive growth trajectory and strategic direction for 2025. As a leading real estate consultancy, Vibh-Anu has navigated a dynamic market landscape by leveraging technology, expanding into new geographies, and prioritizing client-centric solutions. Maurya discusses key milestones, challenges, and the company’s vision for sustainable growth in an evolving industry.

1. What has been the most significant milestone Vibhvangal Anukulakara has achieved this year, and how has it aligned with your overall growth strategy?

Answer:

In 2025, Vibhvangal Anukulakara has achieved exponential business growth, reflected in an outstanding total sales value of ₹168 Crores. This represents a 200% increase in revenue and demonstrates our successful penetration into highly competitive markets. A key part of this growth has been expanding our footprint into new geographies such as NOIDA and Dholera, which has helped us establish a stronger brand presence. This milestone underscores our strategic focus on market diversification and scaling sustainably.

2. Given the shifts in the real estate and investment landscape this year, how has Vibhvangal Anukulakara adapted its approach, and what outcomes have you seen as a result?

This year, the real estate market experienced significant shifts due to elevated interest rates, price fluctuations, and changing buyer behaviors, all accelerated by technological advancements. At Vibh-Anu, we anticipated these changes and adapted by focusing on three critical areas: integrating advanced technology in our operations, diversifying our real estate portfolio, and enhancing client education. These initiatives enabled us to streamline property evaluation and risk assessment processes, empowering our clients to make faster and more accurate investment decisions.

3. Timely project delivery is critical in this industry. Could you share a recent example that illustrates your commitment to delivering projects on schedule and how that has impacted your clients?

Selecting the right developer and conducting thorough due diligence—especially verifying critical documents like CLU and RERA approvals—has been instrumental in our success. One standout project was delivered on schedule despite a dynamic market environment. This punctual delivery reinforced our credibility with stakeholders and allowed tenants to commence operations as planned. The immediate occupancy and early revenue generation validated our disciplined approach and demonstrated our commitment to operational excellence.

4. What unforeseen challenges emerged this year in your consulting practice, and how did you leverage these to strengthen your strategic positioning?

We faced unexpected challenges due to changes in local zoning regulations and an exponential hike in real estate prices across key markets. However, these hurdles were mitigated through flexible payment plans offered by developers, cooperation from legal authorities, and supportive government policies. These experiences enhanced our operational agility and sharpened our strategic resilience, making these capabilities central to our planning framework for 2025 and beyond.

5. Looking ahead, what are your top three strategic priorities for 2025 in terms of market expansion, innovation, and client engagement?

Our three strategic priorities for 2025 are:

1. Smart Expansion into Secondary Markets: With primary markets becoming saturated and costlier, we are targeting high-growth secondary cities that show promising fundamentals like population growth and infrastructure investment.
2. Tech-Driven Operational Efficiency: We are heavily investing in AI and data analytics to optimize asset management, predict tenant turnover, and enhance underwriting accuracy, enabling faster, smarter decisions.
3. Elevating the Customer Experience: We are launching a digital client portal and expanding post-sale engagement programs to build transparent, responsive, and long-term relationships with tenants, buyers, and investors.

These priorities aim to drive precision-led scaling rather than growth for its own sake.

6. How is Vibhvangal Anukulakara integrating emerging trends such as 

Digitisation and transparency in its consulting services and future planning?

We regard digitization and investor transparency as foundational elements shaping the future of real estate consulting. From AI-powered market analytics to digital twin modeling and predictive maintenance, Vibh-Anu is embedding technology throughout our value chain—from acquisition to asset management. Our leasing and client onboarding processes have been digitized to reduce turnaround times and enhance customer satisfaction.

In terms of transparency, we have upgraded our investor portal to provide real-time reporting and detailed project lifecycle updates. This increased visibility has strengthened investor trust and attracted a new generation of stakeholders who demand both accountability and performance.

7. How has your revenue performance compared to initial forecasts this year, and which consulting segments or strategic initiatives were the primary contributors?

Our revenue performance slightly exceeded initial projections despite market volatility, which we attribute to staying agile and focusing on high-potential segments. Key drivers included:

• Capital Recycling and Portfolio Optimization: By exiting lower-yield assets and reallocating resources to high-growth regions, we improved cash flow and financial flexibility.
• Tech-Enabled Client Services: Digitizing critical functions like sales, reporting, and investor onboarding allowed us to scale efficiently while improving margins and client retention.

These strategies helped us transform cautious forecasts into confident outcomes.

8. What are your revenue and market expansion goals for the next fiscal year, and how do you plan to navigate increasing competition to achieve them?

For the upcoming fiscal year, we are targeting a total sales value (TSV) of ₹1500 Crores, focusing on expanding our market presence particularly across Western India. To succeed in a competitive environment, Vibh-Anu’s strategy involves:

Selective Geographic Expansion: Entering underserved but promising markets with strong demographics and economic momentum, supported by localized data and strategic partnerships to reduce entry risks.

Tech-Driven Efficiencies: Scaling our use of predictive analytics, automation, and digital platforms to speed up market entry, lower lead costs, and improve service quality.

Our approach is anchored in disciplined, sustainable growth, positioning Vibhvangal Anukulakara ( Vibh-Anu) for long-term success.

Navigating shifting market dynamics and emerging technologies, Vibhvangal Anukulakara continues to redefine real estate consultancy with a focus on agility, innovation, and transparency. Siddharth Maurya’s leadership ensures the firm remains ahead of the curve, building long-term value for clients and stakeholders alike. With ambitious expansion plans and a commitment to operational excellence, Vibhvangal Anukulakara is poised for continued success throughout 2025 and beyond.

New Delhi [India], May 14: In a powerful move to revolutionize mental health accessibility in India, the Indian Transformation Academy, founded by Clinical Therapist and Master Life Coach Amandeep Sandhu, has launched its most affordable and impactful offering yet — the “Advanced Self-Healing Course” at just ₹1999.

Designed for individuals struggling with stress, anxiety, overthinking, or relationship issues, this course combines the power of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and Hypnotherapy to bring relief and transformation from the comfort of one’s home. What sets it apart is the inclusion of FREE weekly live therapy sessions for an entire year, making consistent healing support available to everyone — especially those who otherwise can’t afford professional help.

Amandeep Sandhu’s mission is rooted in personal experience. After battling undiagnosed depression and anxiety for years, and witnessing the shortage of accessible therapy services, he was inspired to build a platform that trains and empowers individuals to take mental health into their own hands — affordably, practically, and powerfully.

The course is tailored for students, homemakers, business owners, and working professionals aged 21 to 55 who want to take control of their mental well-being. Participants will learn to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and improve confidence and emotional stability — all without needing prior experience in therapy.

In addition to self-healing, the Academy offers a transformative opportunity for aspiring professionals through its “Life Transformation Coach Certification”. This flagship program equips participants to become certified coaches, trained in therapy techniques, public speaking, AI content creation, business setup, and even sales and marketing — enabling them to launch successful coaching careers earning 6–7 figures while working remotely.

Looking ahead, the Academy aims to build a powerful community of individuals and coaches who are committed to healing themselves and helping others. The broader vision is not just to teach techniques, but to ignite a movement of mental wellness awareness and empowerment.

In a country where mental health is still under-discussed and therapy remains unaffordable for many, Indian Transformation Academy is breaking barriers — one empowered mind at a time.
