The celebrated Vastu Shastra consultant explains the hidden spatial mistakes costing Indian entrepreneurs crores every year
New Delhi [India], April 11: Every year, thousands of businesses in India shut down despite having strong products, capable teams, and adequate capital. While analysts point to market conditions, funding challenges, or poor strategy, Vastu consultant Acharaya Pankit Goyal believes the answer often lies much closer to home — literally. According to him, the physical space in which a business operates has a direct and measurable impact on its trajectory.
“Most business failures I have observed have one thing in common — a severely imbalanced Vastu,” Acharaya Pankit Goyal told a gathering of entrepreneurs at a recent business summit. “The direction of the main entrance, the placement of the owner’s cabin, the positioning of accounts and finance departments — these are not trivial details. They govern the flow of prosperity energy into and within the business.”
The Five Most Common Vastu Mistakes in Business Spaces Drawing from his extensive experience across hundreds of commercial properties, Acharaya Pankit Goyal has identified recurring Vastu defects that businesses unknowingly make. These include placing the main entrance in inauspicious directions, positioning the owner’s seat with their back to the door, keeping the accounts or finance section in the wrong directional zone, having underground water tanks or sumps beneath the main structure, and neglecting to maintain a clutter-free north zone — the direction of prosperity.
Each of these issues, he explains, creates energetic imbalances that manifest as employee conflict, cash flow problems, unexpected losses, or stagnant growth — all of which can be corrected without major structural changes.
“The good news is that 80% of Vastu corrections do not require demolition or renovation. Smart placement of objects, colours, and functional changes can shift the energy of a space completely.” — Acharaya Pankit Goyal
A Methodology Rooted in Results What distinguishes Acharaya Pankit Goyal from generic Vastu practitioners is his results-first methodology. Before recommending any change, he conducts a thorough analysis of the business’s current challenges, its directional orientation, and the owner’s individual birth chart to provide personalised Vastu solutions that align both the space and the individual.
His consultation process begins with an in-depth discussion about the business’s financial performance, team dynamics, and growth goals. This is followed by a detailed audit of the premises — either in person or through architectural drawings and photographs. The final report includes directional corrections, zone-specific recommendations, and a prioritised implementation roadmap.
This comprehensive approach has earned Acharaya Pankit Goyal a loyal clientele that spans retail chains, manufacturing units, tech startups, hospitality businesses, and family enterprises across India. Many clients return for consultations on new projects, a reflection of the trust and transformation his work has consistently delivered.
New Delhi [India], April 11: The IMS Jaipur Conclave 2026, held on March 29 in Jaipur, brought together doctors from across the country for a day of focused discussions on musculoskeletal health, sports injuries, and pain management. With over 100 participants, the event created a space where specialists from different backgrounds could come together and exchange practical knowledge.
Experts in radiology, sports medicine, surgery, pain management, and rehabilitation shared their perspectives, making the discussions well-rounded and relevant to real-world practice. The presence of Dr. Brigadier Kalyan Bibhu Nayak, Director of the National Centre for Sports Sciences and Research (NCSSR), New Delhi, added importance to the gathering.
This conclave was also significant because it marked the first time the International Musculoskeletal Summit was held in India. After earlier editions in Mauritius, bringing the event to Jaipur signaled a growing interest in expanding such academic platforms within the country.
The event was organized by the Jaipur Institute of Pain and Sports Injuries (JIPSI), under the leadership of Dr. Gaurav Kant Sharma and Dr. Prableen Kaur. Their aim was to create a platform dedicated to musculoskeletal care, sports injury treatment, and chronic pain, while encouraging collaboration among specialists.
The timing coincided with JIPSI completing five years. During this period, the institute has treated a large number of patients, including sportspersons, helping them recover from injuries and return to activity. It has also seen patients from different parts of India as well as from abroad, gradually building a strong reputation in this field.
The academic sessions covered areas such as regenerative medicine and newer approaches to treating musculoskeletal conditions. There was also detailed discussion on chronic pain management, focusing on non-surgical and image-guided treatments that are increasingly being used in practice.
One of the key sessions focused on the multidisciplinary management of sports injuries. It highlighted how coordinated care between different specialists can improve outcomes, from diagnosis to treatment and rehabilitation.
The event also featured the first National Musculoskeletal Radiology Quiz. Around 50 teams participated, with several rounds held online before the final round at the conclave. The top three teams were awarded cash prizes and certificates, and the quiz stood out as one of the more engaging parts of the program.
Overall, the conclave provided an opportunity for learning and exchange of ideas. The discussions and insights shared during the event are expected to contribute to better patient care and wider adoption of multidisciplinary approaches in musculoskeletal and sports medicine.
The success of the IMS Jaipur Conclave 2026 reflects the growing need for such focused academic events in India and sets the stage for more editions of the International Musculoskeletal Summit in the future.

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], April 10: KRAFTON, in collaboration with Neptune, a South Korean game developer, today announced the launch of the ‘Flick x KRAFTON Casual Game Challenge’ (Season 1) — a global initiative designed to discover, validate, and scale the next generation of hybrid and hyper casual mobile games.
Open to developers and indie studios worldwide, including India, the programme offers a total support pool of up to $5 million, alongside a structured pathway to global publishing.
The challenge also marks the debut of ‘Flick’, Neptune’s dedicated hybrid casual publishing label, built to create a long-term pipeline of mobile-first games with global appeal and scalability.
As part of the programme, teams selected for the first phase of the program will receive a seed marketing budget for CPI (Cost Per Install) testing, allowing them to assess growth potential based on market data from the earliest stages of development. In addition, top-performing titles will be considered for publishing deals, with minimum guarantees of up to $200,000 for hybrid casual games and $100,000 for hyper casual titles. The programme also includes a pre-publishing track to support promising early-stage concepts, enabling developers to refine and scale their games before full launch.
Unlike traditional game development contests, the Flick challenge is designed as an end-to-end publishing pathway rather than a one-time competition. Developers will submit playable builds that are evaluated not just on creativity and gameplay, but through real-market validation. Selected entries will be assessed on critical performance metrics such as cost per install (CPI), early playtime, and user retention, underscoring the growing importance of data-driven decision-making in mobile game publishing.
“With Flick, our goal is to move beyond conventional publishing models and create a scalable, data-driven ecosystem for discovering global hits,” said, Seunghyun Kwon, Head of Game Business Division at Neptune. “By combining real-market validation with early-stage support, we are enabling developers to build with confidence, iterate with clarity, and ultimately compete on a global stage. Our partnership with KRAFTON strengthens this vision, bringing together deep publishing expertise and a shared commitment to nurturing the next generation of game creators”
The initiative comes at a time when hybrid casual gaming is rapidly emerging as a dominant global trend, blending the accessibility of casual formats with deeper engagement and stronger monetization potential. Through Flick, Neptune and KRAFTON aim to build a sustainable pipeline of high-performing titles, backed by global distribution capabilities, operational expertise, and performance-led insights.
For Indian developers, the programme represents a significant opportunity to access global publishing infrastructure, secure early-stage funding, and build for international markets. As India’s gaming ecosystem continues to evolve, initiatives like this can play a pivotal role in bridging local talent with global scale, accelerating the country’s emergence as a hub for world-class game development.
Neptune is primarily engaged in mobile game development and publishing, as well as an AdTech-based advertising monetization platform business. Founded in 2012, the company was listed on KOSDAQ in December 2016. Its subsidiaries include mobile game developers PlayHard, NCROQUIS, EK GAMES, Prettybusy, and FANTOME, as well as PC game developer Nimble Neuron. Its major games include Infinite Stairs, Cat Snack Bar, Rumble Heroes, and Eternal Return, and the company has been expanding into the publishing of mid-core mobile games since 2024. In its ad tech division, the company provides ad monetization services to mobile game and app developers, operating platforms such as ‘AD(X)’ and ‘AdPie,’ as well as services like ‘PointPub’ (reward-based advertising) and ‘KLAT’ (interactive API). Recently, as marketing costs for user acquisition and the proportion of commissions related to ad monetization have increased in the hybrid casual and hyper-casual mobile game markets, the importance of ad network operations and ad monetization technology has grown. Neptune is leveraging its AdTech business to expand its hybrid casual game publishing operations and drive the global market expansion of its AdTech platforms.
About Flick
‘Flick’ is Neptune’s hybrid casual game publishing brand. From a developer’s perspective, the name conveys the idea that “Flick’s light touch, added to a small idea, can change the landscape of the game market.” It also signifies that “a publisher’s meticulous support and strategic touch can maximize a game’s value and bring a breath of fresh air to the market.” Neptune plans to utilize this brand to expand its hybrid casual game publishing business in the future.

“They’re not just pictures; they’re memories that families will treasure for generations.”
New Delhi [India], April 09: Weddings are like a mosaic. Every small moment is assembled together to build a tapestry of love, tradition and joy. From the very first glance to the very last vows, it’s a symphony woven together by threads of romantic devotion. And no other profession helps paint this canvas but a photographer. Like a superpower, photography freezes time and makes every minute last forever, by capturing the day, as it was, to revisit it time and again. These silent storytellers are the wedding industry’s brand new face. The new wave of wedding photography and filmography bring together a never-before-seen experience, as if your weddings are fairytales, curated with care. And at the heart of this buzz stands WEDNIX Studios. With a passion to reflect the intimate beauty of weddings from behind the lens, WEDNIX Studios was born out of an immense desire for turning memories into timeless elegance and soon its founder was placed among the best entrepreneurs in the wedding industry in India. She is none other than Ramya Murlidhara.
The Eye behind the lens
Ramya’s love for photography stems from a profound admiration of her subjects— people, their laughter, their natural presence and the stories that they carry. She sincerely believes that even a mundane snapshot speaks louder than words could ever. This became the sole defining drive for her. And for her brainchild , WEDNIX Studios to etch its name among India’s Top Wedding Photography companies. What truly sets Ramya ahead of others in this industry, is her ability to see the extraordinary in the simplest of things. Her work is a stark contrast to other conventional wedding albums: cherished pictures of the bride with her pet, radiant and cozy shots of a mixed-ethnicity wedding, detailed closeups of decor, embellishing jewelleries and creative flatlays and mostly the permanence of shared joy during wedding rituals. Such that, for generations to come, families and acquaintances can look back on the very exact moment, when the couple’s love turned into a legacy.
Where Passion Meets Precision
But such mastery comes from years of ambition and labor. For the last 12 years, Ramya has proved herself capable of a premium quality of service. This has only been possible because of her intense love for the pictures she took and the support she received from the families.
It’s as if Ramya never felt like an outsider, but a beloved member. She was no struggler, but a trailblazer. She was exactly where she meant to be. Even when surrounded by a sea of male peers in industry, she has never let gender define her role. Instead, she has let this challenge fuel her creativity and carve a path with a strong vision. Her aptitude in producing stand-apart images lies in her impeccable commitment to work and an unwavering eye to detail. Furthermore, Ramya has a keen understanding of the industry’s changing tides, with the need to shift the focus on ‘bold, sleek and classy’ couple poses over the cutesy-holding-hands types. Her ‘plan as you go’ approach has helped her evolve and adapt to the interests of the clientele, making WEDNIX Studios one of the most sought after companies in the industry. In the era of transitioning aesthetics and skyrocketing technologies, Ramya has ensured that WEDNIX delivers not just colossal portraits but also seamless polished wedding films that capture every nuance of the big day.
“I wish I had known earlier that photography is as much about people and relationships as it is about the art itself.”
Shaping Wedding Photography Trends
Amid the shifting curve of photography styles, Ramya believes in developing trust and camaraderie with the couple and the families. At the juncture of her creative process, Social Media and Client Feedback have become an indispensable tool in gauging the reception of her work by the mass.
She credits her team of talented Cinematographers and Photographers, who make sure the atmosphere for the couples is natural and authentic and the need to feel self conscious while posing is cast away. From candid postures, ambient lighting, intricate macro shots to post-production color gradings and exquisite montages, Ramya has a vision that transcends the boundary of typical wedding imagery.
Ramya’s journey is a testament to the fact that one’s gender shouldn’t be a limitation but rather a fortification. She urges aspiring women photographers to ‘take the plunge, follow your passion’ and devote one’s lifework into crafting cohesive stories of love and dreams. WEDNIX Studios was recognised with the WedMeGood ‘Best Photographer Award’ and this acknowledgement is a recognition of Ramya’s heartfelt storytelling, blending tradition, innovation and artistry.

New Delhi [India], April 09: A grand and spiritual event—Mahavir Katha 3.0—was successfully concluded with great reverence and enthusiasm at the capital’s prestigious venue, Bharat Mandapam. This event proved to be an inspiring endeavor to revitalize the divine messages of Lord Mahavir, dating back 2,625 years.
The special highlight of the program was the presence of the Jain saint Acharya Lokesh Muni, whose dignified presence imbued the entire atmosphere with spiritual energy. The responsibility of narrating the Katha (discourse) was undertaken by the renowned orator Rajiv Jain ‘CA’. His eloquent and soulful narration deeply connected the audience with the life, principles, and profound spirit of renunciation of Lord Mahavir. Thousands of devotees present at the event immersed themselves in this divine experience.
Addressing the gathering, Nominated Municipal Councilor and Director of the Bhagwan Mahavir Deshna Foundation, Manoj Kumar Jain, stated, “Lord Mahavir’s message of ‘Live and Let Live’ is even more relevant in today’s times. Our Prime Minister, Narendra Modi Ji, has also consistently championed this principle. India has played a leading role in resolving various global issues, and it is hoped that India will take positive initiatives to help resolve the current global tensions as well.”
He further added, “Lord Mahavir’s three fundamental principles—Ahimsa (Non-violence), Aparigraha (Non-possession), and Atmashuddhi (Self-purification)—serve as the very foundation of life. We must adhere to these principles to foster peace and harmony within society.” Manoj Jain congratulated the entire team—including Rajiv Jain (CA), Subhash Oswal Jain, Anil Kumar Jain (CA), Pradeep Jain, and Veena Jain—on the success of the event. He offered special commendation to Amisha Jain, the program’s anchor, and also lauded the contribution of Pradeep Jain, who imbued the atmosphere with a spirit of devotion through his melodious bhajans. The role played by the organization’s member, Satya Bhushan Jain, was also acknowledged as pivotal to the event’s success.
Mahavir Katha 3.0 emerged as far more than just a religious gathering; it served as a powerful platform for introspection, non-violence, and spiritual awakening. As the program drew to a close, all the devotees made this sacred occasion truly memorable by raising the resounding chant of “Jai Jinendra.”(SGP)

New Delhi [India], April 09: In a country where conversations around intimacy have long been muted, entrepreneur and sexual wellness advocate Arisha Nigam is helping reshape how India views pleasure.
Recently featured in Forbes India’s “Leaders to Watch 2026,” Arisha has emerged as a key voice in normalising discussions around women’s wellness, desire, and self-awareness. Through her brand, Thrillerrr, she is building a category that blends science, design, and cultural sensitivity.
With a background in biotechnology, Arisha approaches sexual wellness through a scientific lens, focusing on anatomy, mental health, and emotional wellbeing as interconnected systems rather than isolated experiences.
“Pleasure is not separate from health,” says Arisha. “We’ve just been conditioned to think it is.”
Recent behavioural insights suggest a growing shift in India. Women are increasingly seeking information around consent, compatibility, and self-pleasure, even in the absence of structured sex education. At the same time, global dating trends indicate a move toward emotional safety and sexual compatibility as key pillars of modern relationships.
Emerging research also highlights a rise in conversations around kinks and desire, often linked to communication and trust rather than taboo. Arisha believes this signals a deeper cultural shift.
“Kinks aren’t about being extreme, they’re about being expressive,” she says. “What’s changing is people’s willingness to be honest without shame.”
Through Thrillerrr, Arisha is introducing thoughtfully designed products tailored for Indian consumers, with a strong focus on safety, discretion, and education.
As India’s wellness landscape evolves, voices like Arisha’s are not just building brands, but reshaping narratives.
“Pleasure was never the problem,” she adds. “Silence was.”

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 08: Numen Rising, founded by Madhurima Nigam, introduces IMMERSIV- The Floating Breathwork Experience, a deeply transformative wellness concept making its India debut after quietly impacting lives in Dubai. Rooted in conscious healing and inner connection, IMMERSIV invites participants to lie on floating beds in warm water, guided through an intentional breathwork journey designed to restore balance, release stored emotions, and reconnect the body with its natural rhythm. The event saw the presence of Urmila Matondkar, Nidarshana Gowani, Abhimanyu Dasani, Taha Shah Badussha, Barkha Singh, Avantika Dasani, Meera Chopra, Zara Khan, Sargam Singh, Rohit K Verma, Neelam Sethi & Many More.
The experience will be led by internationally trained breathwork facilitator Ashley Edelman, Chief Breathwork Facilitator at IMMERSIV Dubai. Having guided hundreds through powerful floating breathwork sessions, Ashley brings a rare depth of presence and expertise. At a time when the world feels increasingly chaotic, his visit to India for this intimate evening adds profound significance to the experience.
The evening unfolded as a carefully curated, immersive journey, beginning with Madhurima Nigam opening the space and sharing the story behind IMMERSIV’s arrival in India. Ashley Edelman then created a sacred and safe container for the experience, guiding participants into a quiet moment of intention-setting, reflecting on what they wished to release or receive. This was followed by a sacred cacao ceremony, an ancient heart-opening ritual designed to gently prepare the body and mind. Participants then transitioned to individual floating beds in warm water, with headphones and eye masks enhancing their inward focus. A 60-minute guided breathwork journey followed, where the water supported the body and the breath facilitated deep transformation. The experience concluded with a gentle reintegration, allowing time to ground and absorb the shifts, and flowed into soul-refreshing food and open conversations, bringing together reflection, connection, and a sense of quiet joy.
Speaking on the launch, Madhurima Nigam shares, “Numen Rising has always been an extension of something deeply personal, a journey rooted in listening, feeling, and creating spaces that invite genuine inner connection. Bringing IMMERSIV to India is incredibly meaningful to me, as it offers people a rare opportunity to pause amidst the noise, to soften, and to truly come home to themselves. It’s not just about the experience of breathwork, but about holding a space that feels safe, nurturing, and transformative, where the process is gentle, yet the impact can be profoundly powerful.”
Speaking about bringing the experience to India, Ashley Edelman shares, “Breathwork, for me, has always been about creating a space where people feel safe enough to truly let go, to soften, to release, and to reconnect with what lies beneath the surface. IMMERSIV is a deeply unique experience because the water holds you in a way that allows the body to surrender more easily, making the journey both gentle and profoundly transformative. Bringing this to India feels incredibly special, especially in a time when so many of us are seeking stillness, clarity, and a deeper connection with ourselves.”
