    Harshita Shetty, Director of BizBash Entertainment

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 24: Harshita Shetty, with a background in hospitality from Les Roches, Switzerland, and as a second-generation hotelier, stands as a formidable figure in India’s dynamic business landscape—a true entrepreneur whose influence spans both the vibrant events and sophisticated hospitality sectors. As the Director of BizBash Entertainment, she has not only steered the company to prominence but has also cultivated a reputation for strategic foresight and impeccable execution. Her leadership is characterized by an unwavering commitment to crafting high-impact experiences that seamlessly merge the thrill of entertainment with the luxury of premium hospitality.

    Shetty’s entrepreneurial journey is marked by a diverse portfolio that includes ownership of multiple hotels and clubs, underscoring her deep understanding of the hospitality industry. This dual expertise allows her to approach projects with a holistic perspective, ensuring that every event or venue under her purview offers an integrated and unforgettable experience. Her ability to identify market gaps and innovate within established industries has positioned her as a trailblazer, consistently pushing the boundaries of what is possible in event management and guest services.

    Under her astute direction, BizBash Entertainment has emerged as a leader in event production, specializing in the organization and hosting of music concerts, festivals, and comprehensive brand experiences. The company’s ethos, as articulated in its mission, is to be more than just event curators; it aims to be an architect of personal and brand growth, leveraging expertise in sales & marketing, brand building, and brand positioning to create enduring brand identities and impactful connections.

    A significant testament to BizBash Entertainment’s capabilities under Shetty’s leadership is the creation of Shreyas Live. This live IP has been instrumental in expanding BizBash Entertainment’s reach and enhancing its execution prowess—a venture dedicated to redefining the live entertainment landscape. Shreyas Live orchestrated and promoted tickets for the Hornbill Festival 2024 (India’s largest band battle) as its launch event.

    One of the most striking examples of Shetty’s and BizBash Entertainment’s capacity for large-scale, high-visibility projects is the grand replica of the Ayodhya Ram Mandir at the Maha Kumbh Mela 2025 in Prayagraj. This ambitious undertaking, executed in collaboration with Shreyas Media, was a monumental achievement. Constructed in a mere 25 days by a dedicated team of over 1,000 workers, the installation was strategically located in the Amusement Zone (Sector 1, Parking 17) and quickly became a breathtaking spectacle and a major attraction for devotees. The project garnered significant praise and support from prominent national figures, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, and was inaugurated by the Union Tourism Minister of India, Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat. This project not only demonstrated BizBash Entertainment’s exceptional operational capabilities but also its profound impact on cultural and spiritual experiences.

    Beyond this landmark project, BizBash Entertainment boasts an impressive portfolio of events. These include high-profile launches such as the Red Bull F1 Car Launch at MMRDA, BKC, which attracted a footfall of 10,000, and the vibrant Holicow Mumbai festival featuring renowned artists like Sukhwinder Singh, Divine, and Gully Gang, drawing 12,000 attendees. Furthermore, BizBash Entertainment has successfully produced concerts for a constellation of celebrated artists, including A.R. Rahman, Asha Bhosle, Ilaiyaraaja, Sonu Nigam, Papon, Sid Sriram, Rekha Bhardwaj, Ram Miriyala, Javed Ali, Armaan Malik, Thaman S, Geetha Madhuri, and Mangli, showcasing its versatility and reach across various musical genres.

    Harshita Shetty’s influence extends significantly into the hospitality and real estate sector through her ownership of numerous in-house venues. These establishments, strategically located across key Indian cities and internationally, reflect her keen business acumen and commitment to providing premium experiences. Her portfolio consists of renowned nightclubs such as Matahaari in Worli, Mumbai, and Carouse Club in Lower Parel, Mumbai, alongside popular lounges and restaurants like Burn Bar & Kitchen and Dakshin Legacy in BKC, Mumbai. The presence of venues like Drunch Club and Oro Club in Andheri, Mumbai, and Freq Club and Bloc Rooftop Bar in Koregaon Park, Pune, further illustrates her expansive footprint in India’s nightlife and leisure scene. Her international venture, Planet Mumbai nightclub in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, along with a restaurant chain in Malaysia and Dubai, highlights her global aspirations. These diverse venues underscore her ability to curate distinct atmospheres and cater to a wide range of clientele, reinforcing her status as a multifaceted entrepreneur.

    In essence, Harshita Shetty is more than just a director; she is a visionary who has meticulously crafted a business empire built on innovation, strategic partnerships, and an unwavering dedication to excellence. Her ability to seamlessly blend the worlds of entertainment and hospitality, coupled with her proven track record of executing complex, high-impact projects, positions her as a true luminary in her fields. Her journey is a compelling narrative of entrepreneurial spirit, strategic prowess, and a relentless pursuit of creating unforgettable experiences, setting new benchmarks for the industry at large.

  • Sarv Dharam Khawaja Mandir: A Living Beacon of Unity, Spirituality, and Universal Harmony

    Sarv Dharam Khawaja Mandir: A Living Beacon of Unity, Spirituality, and Universal Harmony

    New Delhi [India], April 23: In an era where divisions often dominate global discourse, Sarv Dharam Khawaja Mandir stands tall as a sacred sanctuary of unity, compassion, and inclusive spirituality. Located on Chintpurni Road, near Hotel Royal Plaza in Village Chohal, Hoshiarpur, Punjab, this extraordinary spiritual institution is far more than a place of worship—it is a movement rooted in the timeless philosophy of universal brotherhood.

    Guided by the eternal Indian wisdom of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” — the world is one family, the mandir exemplifies a powerful truth: humanity transcends all religious, cultural, and social boundaries.

    A Rare Commitment to Sarv Dharam Sambhav

    What truly distinguishes Sarv Dharam Khawaja Mandir is its unwavering dedication to Sarv Dharam Sambhav—equal respect for all religions. Here, faith is not confined to any single tradition. Instead, it blossoms in harmony.

    The mandir celebrates all major religious and national festivals with equal reverence, including:

    Diwali

    Gurpurab

    Janmashtami

    Christmas

    Eid & Muharram

    Independence Day & Republic Day

    Basant Panchami

    These celebrations are observed collectively, sending out a profound message:

    true spirituality unites—it never divides.

    Sacred Spiritual Landmarks Within the Premises

    The mandir complex is home to several deeply revered spiritual sites, each representing a unique path to divine consciousness:

    Sacred Kutiya with the Gaddi Mubarak of Hazrat Khawaja Gareeb Nawaz (R.A.), radiating Sufi grace, humility, and love.

    Temple of Maa Bhagwati, where Lord Shiva and Shakti manifest in the form of sacred Pindis, symbolising cosmic balance and divine energy.

    Imambara housing the Alam Mubarak of Maula Abbas, a powerful emblem of sacrifice, faith, and unwavering loyalty.

    Roza Mubarak of Shehzadi Sakina (S.A.), carrying profound emotional and spiritual significance.

    Respectful representations of Sikhism, Jainism, and Buddhism, reinforcing the mandir’s identity as a truly interfaith spiritual centre.

    Each sacred space reflects a different spiritual path—yet all lead to the same ultimate truth.

    Spaces for Peace, Meditation, and Inner Awakening

    Adding to the mandir’s tranquil aura is the beautifully nurtured garden Gulshan-e-Maa Fatima Zahra (S.A.). This serene green space is ideal for meditation, spiritual gatherings, and quiet reflection.

    The premises also feature a thoughtfully designed Meditation Hall, offering seekers a peaceful environment for mindfulness, introspection, and inner growth.

    Where Devotional Traditions Merge Seamlessly

    One of the most inspiring aspects of Sarv Dharam Khawaja Mandir is the seamless integration of diverse devotional practices under one roof. Here, spiritual expressions flow together effortlessly through:

    Qawwali

    Majlis & Nauhe

    Kirtan

    Aarti

    Roshni ceremonies

    Recitation of Shri

    Hanuman Chalisa

    This rare spiritual confluence beautifully illustrates that all paths of devotion ultimately converge at the same divine destination.

    Service to Society and Commitment to Sustainability

    Rooted in the belief that service to humanity is the highest form of worship, the mandir actively engages in impactful social welfare and environmental initiatives, including:

    Plantation and environmental drives

    Feeding the hungry (Langar / Sewa)

    Educational support for underprivileged children

    Assistance in the marriages of economically weaker girls

    Animal care and compassion initiatives

    Drug-free awareness campaigns

    The institution is also an onboard partner with the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports (My Bharat), conducting youth empowerment programmes that promote responsible citizenship, positive living, and social awareness.

    Sarv Dharam Sambhav Mahotsav: Celebrating Unity in Diversity

    A defining pillar of the mandir is its annual Sarv Dharam Sambhav Mahotsav, now proudly in its 14th edition. This interfaith platform brings together religious leaders, scholars, and spiritual thinkers from diverse backgrounds.

    The Mahotsav fosters open dialogue, mutual respect, and genuine understanding, serving as a living example of India’s enduring ethos of Unity in Diversity.

    The institution strongly believes that India’s role as Vishwaguru (Global Teacher) can only be fulfilled through authentic spirituality, self-realisation, and compassionate action.

    Visionary Leadership Behind the Movement

    KRAFTON India Esports Unveils Cohort 2 of the Rising Stars Programme 2026, Deepening Its Esports Creator Development Pipeline

    Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], April 22: KRAFTON India Esports today announced the onboarding of Cohort 2 of its Rising Stars Programme 2026, expanding the structured framework it has built to identify, support, and develop the next generation of esports creator talent in India.

    The nine creators onboarded under Cohort 2 are Chirag Dua (ESWanted), Tanmay Sipahiya (K9xKnighT), Rohit Saxena (NebulaKRATOS), Jatin Kumar (4TRxJatinOG), Aarush Sharma (InfinixTRHydrO), Jasleen Kaur (LExJasleen), Sohail Shaikh (Hector), Akshay Kumar (WELTwJusty06), and Mohit Kumavat (iQOORGExLevi11), representing a diverse cross-section of emerging talent within India’s esports creator ecosystem.

    Commenting on the announcement, Karan Pathak, Associate Director – Esports, KRAFTON India, said“As the ecosystem grows, creators need more than moments of visibility – they need consistent opportunities to compete, improve, and stay relevant. With Rising Stars 2026, we have built a system that combines structured support with regular competitive exposure. Cohort 2 is an important part of that pipeline, allowing more creators to enter the system and earn their way forward through performance.”

    The announcement follows a strong nationwide response to the 2026 edition of the programme, which drew over 2,500 registrations from gaming creators across the country – underscoring the growing appetite among India’s emerging creator community for structured, long-term development opportunities, rather than one-off moments of visibility.

    The Rising Stars Programme 2026 has been designed as a tiered development model that supports creators at different stages of growth. Cohort 2 serves as a performance-based entry point within this structure, offering emerging creators access to in-game resources including room cards, strategic guidance, and increased ecosystem visibility. Critically, the cohort functions as a live pathway: creators who demonstrate consistency, engagement, and competitive performance through the year can progress into the Elite Rising Stars tier, making advancement merit-driven and transparent. As part of the 2026 structure, KRAFTON India Esports will host multiple dedicated Rising Stars tournaments throughout the year, giving creators regular opportunities to compete, showcase their skills, and gain structured tournament exposure alongside the main competitive circuit.

    Launched in January 2025 as a first-of-its-kind initiative aimed at identifying and nurturing emerging esports talent across India, the Rising Star Programme was designed to offer mentorship spanning live streaming skills, content creation, and personal branding. In its first year, Rising Stars participants produced over 1,260 pieces of content and 648 live streams, while achieving a combined follower growth of more than 218,000 across platforms. Simultaneously, with consistent training, three alumni from the first batch – Oleed F (Evil), Samihan Kulkarni (Sam), and Saumraj – punched their way into the Quarterfinals of BGIS 2026. The 2026 edition builds on this foundation by moving to a more concentrated cohort-based model, placing greater emphasis on quality, accountability, and defined progression – bringing the total programme strength to 16 Rising Stars across cohorts.

    The Rising Stars Programme is part of KRAFTON India Esports’ wider commitment to building a sustainable, talent-first ecosystem – one that spans open grassroots qualifiers, professional leagues, campus tours, and now a structured creator development ladder. By empowering and nurturing the next generation of players and creators, KRAFTON India is laying the foundation for a dynamic and sustainable ecosystem that will drive the industry forward for years to come.

  • Elite Trends in Indian Traditional Dresses for Women You Need to Know

    Elite Trends in Indian Traditional Dresses for Women You Need to Know

    New Delhi [India], April 22: Indian traditional costumes are a hospitable land that is conquered by its colors, adornment, and the legacy of cultural heritage. Fashion destroyed things every time, calling these costumes not only the nation’s rich and varied culture but their ageless loveliness as well. Keeping an eye on the latest trends in the Indian fashion world is very important, as we have witnessed countless changes in trends. Here are the top trends in Indian traditional dresses for women that you need to know:

    1. The Emancipation of Handloom Sarees

    However, handloom sarees have overcome many odds by impressing fashionable people through compelling artistry. These sarees, carefully woven, usually come with a traditional, thematically embossed logo and natural colors through dyeing. They not only contribute to eco-fashion but also a way to provide a living to local craftspeople.

    2. Modern Tulle Choli

    Lehenga cholis have well-known features like an enhanced aura and grandeur that are still changing. Digital technology is used for graphical embroidery and the experiment with cowl necks, without forgetting the decades-old aesthetic. Now, women might want cool enough fabrics that do not feel stuffy, but then again, let them be the lady in style.

    3. Trying on the Angrakha Style for Anarkali Frock

    Women’s Anarkali Dresses, shining jewels in the kaleidoscope of fashion, would greatly be favored by the feminine physique. The latest trends seem to carry a special kind of love to daring shapes and colors. Designers are experimenting with length, cut, and style, making them more universal for casual as well as formal events.

    4. The Majestic Sharara and Gharara Sets

    Sharara and gharara sets are two items that hit the jackpot in the past few years. Aside from the feature of their wide-legged pants being more attractive, all pieces are all ornamented with heavy embroideries. You will definitely forget about the customary style of wearing that.

    5. Integrating Indo-Western Style in Costume

    Indo-Western combination dresses stay strong as more people are getting into them. Western fashion and traditional Indian attire are combined in the designer’s hands to give forth more chic and boho-chic dresses. The Indo-Western dresses are versatile, and people love them as they can be worn on different occasions.

    6. Emphasis on Sustainable and Ethical Fashion

    The idea of sustainable and ethical fashion is one that is rejected by neither the designers nor the consumers and has made its way into the industry. All the green practices that manufacturers can think of and consumers can follow are being pursued. This is also a trend that is seeing sustainability making an appearance in traditional attire.  You can explore the latest trends and styles at SeeratEthnic (https://seeratethnic.com/), where you can find a wide range of fashionable and high-quality Indian traditional dresses for women.

    Women’s traditional clothes of India continue to play an essential and thrilling role in the fashion world. These trends of the ethnically rich world blended with modernity help the people be united with each other, along with these outfits being appreciated and loved by the current generation.
