    Live audio-social app Mentza to host a mega debate on body shaming

    The conversations cover an array of issues related to body shaming. The finale will take place on the 15th of March

    New Delhi (India), March 9: To break free from unrealistic beauty standards, Mentza, a live-audio conversational platform for growth-oriented people, is organizing a mega debate from March 9 to 15, which will cover an array of issues related to body shaming.

    Through short 20-minute discussions, Mentza will facilitate people coming from different walks of life to share their stories on body positivity and instances of when they were made to feel uncomfortable about their bodies.

    The live-audio conversational platform is made up of various communities on different subjects such as ‘entrepreneurship’, ‘personal growth and leadership, ‘behaviour and social change’, ‘marketing’, ‘design and innovation’, ‘travel, food and lifestyle’, ‘students’, ‘art, culture and media’, ‘parenting’ and ‘personal finance and investing.

    The seven-day mega debate will be conducted as a part of Mentza’s ‘Sports & Wellbeing Community’. While elimination rounds will occur throughout the week, the finale will take place on March 15. On March 16, finalists will share their personal stories concerning body positivity and body shaming.

    Talking about unrealistic beauty standards, Garima Malik, a brain and body fitness trainer on Mentza said, “For males, the ideal masculine body type is often believed to revolve around strength, muscles, and power. In contrast, women and feminine body types are often believed to be better off as petite, small, and dainty. Big is associated with maleness; small is associated with femininity. But do these generalisations make any sense at all?

    “In a world that is obsessed with labelling people’s bodies, there is no dearth of opinions on what the ideal body type is or what constitutes health or fitness. We routinely experience arbitrary stereotypes and comparisons with unrealistic beauty standards. So, should one say ‘fat’ or ‘overweight’? ‘Thin’, ‘slim’ or ‘underweight’? Are these labels acceptable descriptions or superfluous comments that one can do without? Are they insults that weigh down self-esteem, or can they push people to be healthier?”, she added.

    Speakers at Mentza’s mega debate will discuss all of this as well as connected questions such as do we expect physical trainers to always be thin or muscular? Is skinny shaming ok if fat-shaming is not? And Do women deal with body shaming more than men?

    “While this knowledge exists almost everywhere, it is never spoken about,” said Mentza’s co-founder, Jayal Shroff. 

    “This tacit knowledge is essentially the experiential wisdom that people have gathered over a period of time while performing their various jobs, as well as through their life experiences. For these conversations on body shaming, we have brought together experts from the fields of sports, health and fitness, and psychology to weigh in,” he added.

    Co-founder Tapasi Mittal said: “Mentza distinguishes itself from other audio-social platforms not only by limiting every conversation to 20 minutes but also by dint of its focus on learning, informally, from experts and people who know their subject areas well. We are proud to be able to provide this platform for democratic discussions on issues and topics that matter to people. Our debate on body-shaming is one such example.”

    The judges for the debate will be Manik Dhodhi, Director, Real Estate, Adidas India Marketing Pvt Ltd; Ayushi Shroff, UCLA Graduate, Bachelor of Science in Human Biology and Society; and Dr. Shilpa Sharma, Psychologist.

    The debate is being held by Mentza in collaboration with Dare2Compete and will be hosted by Archana Bora, Scientist and Researcher, Filmmaker Neeraja Rao, and Karuna Grover, health and wellness coach.

  • Party Anthem – Helping create awesome parties!

    Party Anthem – Helping create awesome parties!

    March 9: Party-anthem is a dream project started by two friends Leena Sewhani Luthria and Shraddha Gandhi, in 2013 with an avant-garde spirit and a lofty objective to offer quality party supplies while leading the way for creativity.

    The vision is to provide a wide range of high-quality party supplies and excellent customer service while leading the way for environmentally conscious businesses.

    Customers have hundreds of trendy party themes to pick from, whether it’s kid’s birthdays, love-filled anniversaries, naughty bachelorettes, or elegant wedding supplies that’ll make their big day memorable.

    Party Anthem has grown to a full fledges e-commerce business from its humble beginnings. They now provide start-to-end event solutions that aim to make each celebration truly special. From birthdays to bachelorettes, and birth announcements to funky themes, from balloons to tableware, from props to costumes, DIY balloon home décor kits to balloon bouquets, they sell everything to suit any occasion with excellent services. With an impressive line of licensed and personalized products, they have a lot to offer.

    What started as a fun hobby has grown into a successful business. The founders have built Party Anthem to reflect their shared passions and values: affinity for great products, excellent service, and, most importantly, their belief that nobody should overpay for a great party.

    The duo founders narrate about the challenges found to reach the preset status today:

    As a new player retailing party supplies online, it was initially a challenge to shift people’s perception from conventional methods of purchasing party supplies. eCommerce in 2012-2013 was still in a nascent stage, and people were wary of purchasing online. The touch and feel factors were missing in online selling vis offline selling. It was difficult to convey the quality and usage of the products online. Translating the concept and communicating the value was a significant task. They had to ensure that every communication and interaction at all points of contact ended up being a positive experience for the customer.

    Party Anthem soon won the market with great achievements such as:

    • Innovation

    By staying up-to-date with industry knowledge, they provide their customers with the latest products and services.

    • Top Licenses

    They partner with everyone’s favorite brands; Disney, Marvel, Unique Industries, Creative Converting, among others.

    • On Trend

    Every year they curate dozens of new themes so that they are always up to date on the latest trends.

    • Go Green

    They pledge to source products that are environmentally friendly and to eliminate single-use plastic products.

    • Vocal for Local

    Promote Make In India products source products from local vendors and manufacturers.

    • Family-owned

    As a family-owned business since day one, they take pride in treating every customer and employee as a member of their family.

    Stating about their most challenging period, the duo founders say,  “The COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown put an abrupt stop to eCommerce in India. Baring essentials, no other products were sold online. During this time, people were not able to move out, and those that were needed masks and protective gear. There were many suppliers for adult masks but none for children’s masks. We identified an unmet gap in the children’s face masks market. At that time, there were not many options available for children. And the available ones were not safe or comfortable. Face masks as a product and category is something we have no prior experience or expertise with. We jumped right into the deep end. Possibly for the first time, we began something very complex and unfamiliar without much preparation. We went through a month of R&D and several prototypes before finalizing and introducing the face masks in the market. Fortunately, our hard work paid off. Because of the branding, quality of the product and our relationship with our vendors, the products have been well appreciated and successful.”

    Founders Ms. Leena looks after Product sourcing, Business Development & Finance, while Ms. Shraddha is an expert on Logistics & Customer Service. They continue their journey with new dreams and aspirations. They have more to achieve in the future. Speaking about their plans and actions, they inform, The recent pandemic has made them realize that they cannot be dependent on any other country to run their business or to source their products. PM Modi has asked all businesses to be Atmanirbhar. In the spirit of that, they plan to start sourcing and manufacturing party supplies in India. By 2024, they aim to have 100% of their products to be Made in India.”

    Salute to their spirit of courage and dedication towards our nation!

  • E-closet, a Virtual Styling platform, is all set to provide work from home opportunities to women

    E-closet, a Virtual Styling platform, is all set to provide work from home opportunities to women

    “Every woman must strive to be Financially Independent.”

    March 8: Rashmi Chopra, founder, and MD of Closet, firmly believes in the statement and strives to create opportunities for women to make them financially independent. Today, we are working to earn bread and butter and live a respectful life and a healthy lifestyle. As 21st century women, we want to work to gain self-confidence and hold our identity, especially women who would no more like to be dependent on only men for their financial needs. Talking about empowerment in seminars and on talk shows looks fascinating and motivating, but are we doing enough for it or just talking about women empowerment. How can we empower someone without making them financially independent? Every year, we celebrate 8th March as International Women’s Day to celebrate women’s achievements and success; still, most women are unemployed for various reasons. Are we doing enough to create opportunities for them? This question intrigued Rashmi, and while she launched Ecloset, one of the guiding principles was to address this problem and provide work-from-home opportunities for women across regions.

    Everyone wants to look good and confident, but the problem is that not everyone is optimistic about their styling ideas, nor most of them can afford a stylist just like celebs. Rashmi, a NIFT alumna, decided to address two problems with one solution -she created a virtual Styling platform that acts as a bridge between specialized stylists and people looking for styling advice.

    Another initiative that Ecloset supports is that it allows young moms to bounce back to work post pregnancy, which is one of the most demanding tasks. With a work-from-home opportunity to work.

    As the founder of E-Closet, Rashmi believes that fashion is simply a trend while style is an extended version of a person’s individuality; trends fade while style is eternal. With this revolutionary mindset, Rashmi began her journey in 2020. She then launched her website in 2021 to embellish the style of many.

    She began to promote indigenous fashion brands, cultivate fashion designers, and bring their talent that was buried deep because of the lack of resources and opportunities.

    She has created her vision her dreams, has brought together a community of fashion designers, influencers, and bloggers through her platform, and has created an army of experts who can offer the best style to their clients.

    Rashmi began to solve the never-ending problem and difficulties of “what to wear?” “How to wear it? ” “When to wear what?”

    E-Closet’s vision is to encourage their clients, show them and the world who they are and their style.

    Recently Rashmi Chopra got an award, celebrating women pioneers in their industry, she has won many accolades in the past, and her work was recognized and appreciated by various industry experts and clients. Ecloset can gain media recognition and customer trust in just one year of operations. At last, we can say that Rashmi’s E-Closet has squashed all the myths about style and that style statement is only for celebrities. E-Closet is all about affordable styling, making its services accessible and affordable.

    So your search for your perfect outfit, closet, and style is just one click away.

  • Giving hopes and transforming lives, revolutionizing mental health wellness – Sumatha Nayak, founder, itsoksupport.com

    Giving hopes and transforming lives, revolutionizing mental health wellness – Sumatha Nayak, founder, itsoksupport.com

    March 4: Sumatha Nayak, the founder of Digital Mental Wellness platform itsoksupport.com is a women entrepreneur, fitness freak, a spiritual seeker, an avid traveller and a compassionate human.  An Iron Lady with immense will power, great business acumen and a dashing smile with a twinkle in her eyes have motivated innumerable people both emotionally and spiritually.

    After the onset of Covid19 pandemic, Sumatha started getting calls from a lot of people seeking guidance on how to cope up with stress and mental agony. Out of these calls for help, a significant number was from parents of children going through the same.  This kindled a thought in her, No child should suffer psychologically and no man or woman feel neglected and thus she started her journey of itsoksupport.com, a digital mental wellness platform.

    The vision of Itsoksupport.com is “To create a community where each and every individual is brimming with joy, self-confidence, emotional stability, inner peace and happiness, with the help of highly qualified professionals through a digital platform”.

    Team itsoksupport.com consists of highly qualified and experienced professionals which include Psychiatrists, Psychologist, Psychotherapists, Fitness Experts, Nutritionists, and Life Coaches who have achieved clinical excellence and expertise in the art of human care and counselling, and this is what makes itsoksupport.com different from many other mental health wellness platforms.

    Sumatha says “Our organisation offers all services related to mental health which can be offered online, along with Family Counselling.  Family is the basic unit of the society. The health of the society largely depends on these functional families. All the members of the family living in harmony, having values that lead to the happiness of every member of the family ultimately resulting in the all-round development of every individual is the utmost goal of every family.

    Family counselling or Family therapy is a type of psychological counselling that can help family members to improve communication and resolve conflicts. This may include spousal relationship, parent- child relationship, sibling cordiality, dealing with the elderly or any issues relating to family.

    Families are given an opportunity to work on their problems in a safe and controlled environment with their counsellor. Family counselling can enhance skills required for healthy functioning of the family. This may include healthy communication, conflict resolution and problem solving”.

    Itsoksupport.com also conducts virtual camps for children of age 10 to 15 which is named as Shining Me. Sumatha Says “With a lot of enquiries for child counselling, a thought triggered in my mind that while we are addressing  various  child related mental health issues, we have to develop a program which will focus on child’s all round development, by enhancing the child’s talent and developing  life skills to face any challenges of life. This virtual camp is exclusively for the age group of 10 to 15 years, consisting of 12 sessions spread over 6 weeks. Two Sessions every week on Saturday and Sunday.  Individual guidance is given to the kids in between the sessions, with focus on every child during the entire duration of the virtual camp”.

    Few of the topics included are Who Am I? in which a child learns to know the most authentic version of oneself, Social and Emotional Attitude where they learn how to empathize with peers, share joy and pain, Positive Affirmations which gives tips to focus on the brighter side of life, by being positive, Safe and Unsafe Behaviour which helps children differentiate between good and bad touches and stresses on the importance of talking about them to parents and people they trust, Yoga, Nutrition, Cyber Safety etc.

    Sumatha Nayak believes that today’s corporate wellness programs tend to focus on helping employees improve their health by creating clinical improvement initiatives around certain measures such as blood pressure, BMI, cholesterol, glucose, and smoking cessation etc.

    However, a focus on mental health and emotional wellness is often missing from these health   programs. While mental health is not as easily measured as blood pressure or cholesterol, it deserves equal attention especially when considering the costs associated with poor mental and emotional health.

    Productivity loss, absenteeism, job abandonment, low turnover are often directly linked to poor mental health. Research shows “That people with symptoms of depression have a   5 fold or greater increase in time lost from work, compared to those without symptoms of depression.”

    Itsoksupport.com has developed a unique and a holistic approach Corporate Wellness Program, which covers both the aspects of Physical and Mental well-being of the employee.

    Itsoksupport.com aims at building a conscious and a productive community along with the values of humanity and inclusiveness.  We wish Sumatha Nayak and itsoksupport.com all the best in serving humanity and spreading happiness.
