GURUGRAM, India: Manoj Madhusudanan’s debut short film, Random Beats, has been awarded Best Short Film at the recently concluded Mei International Film Festival 2026, further cementing its standing as one of the notable independent short films to emerge on the festival circuit in recent years.

The latest honour follows a string of recognitions for the film, including the Best Debut Award at the Aravali International Film Festival. Random Beats has also drawn attention at festivals such as the International Film Festival of Shimla, Atlanta Indian Film Festival, India International Film Festival of Boston, and the 7th South Asian Film Festival, among others.

Written, produced, and directed by Madhusudanan, the film is a quietly observed meditation on the ways digital communication shapes contemporary relationships. At a time when human interaction is increasingly mediated by screens, Random Beats explores the subtle fractures, misread intentions, and emotional dissonance that can arise from virtual exchanges.

“We live in a world where we often communicate more through digital channels than in person, and that creates countless possibilities for friction and miscommunication,” said Madhusudanan. “A real-life incident narrated to me became the seed for this story. I wanted to tell it because it felt simple, relatable, and yet deeply thought-provoking.”

Madhusudanan brings to filmmaking an unusual professional trajectory. Based in India, he is a Leadership Presence and Storytelling Coach with over 25 years of corporate experience spanning data analytics, consulting, and AI. Educated at IIT Madras and XLRI Jamshedpur, he has pursued cinema as a parallel passion since childhood.

Drawing inspiration from masters such as Ingmar Bergman, Steven Spielberg, Majid Majidi, Werner Herzog, Satyajit Ray, and Adoor Gopalakrishnan, he deepened his engagement with the craft through three film certification programmes at Raindance Film School, London, completed between 2015 and 2016. After several amateur experiments, Random Beats marked his first professionally mounted work.

Reflecting on the film’s formal choices, Madhusudanan said, “To tell this story without distraction, I chose a linear narrative structure, a contemporary pastel palette, and a minimalist use of background score. It is truly heartening to see the appreciation and accolades our little film is receiving at international film festivals.”

With this latest recognition, Random Beats has now been selected at 22 prestigious national and international film festivals, winning honours at eight of them.

About the Film

Random Beats is a short film written, produced, and directed by Manoj Madhusudanan. The film examines how digital communication influences personal relationships and the subtle ways in which modern modes of interaction can lead to misunderstanding and emotional complexity.

Bootstrapped initiative delivers markets, news and panchang updates every morning at 7:30 AM, helping users step out informed in under two minutes

Mumbai: In a country where mornings often begin with a flood of messages, notifications and multiple apps competing for attention, Mumbai-based entrepreneur Sunny Kothari has launched Ghoshna, a WhatsApp-first morning briefing designed to bring clarity and structure to the start of the day.

Delivered directly on WhatsApp every morning at 7:30 AM, Ghoshna provides a concise snapshot of essential updates including market movements, key news headlines and the day’s panchang, all in a format designed to be read in under two minutes.

The idea for Ghoshna emerged from observing how millions of Indians start their day.

“For many people, the first 30 minutes or more, of the morning are spent switching between WhatsApp messages, news apps, market websites and forwards just to understand what’s happening,” says founder Sunny Kothari. “That process can be distracting and overwhelming. Ghoshna was created to simplify that moment.”

Instead of requiring users to download another app, the service works entirely through WhatsApp, delivering a structured morning update directly where many people already begin their day.

Each daily briefing includes:

  • A snapshot of Indian and global markets including Gift Nifty, Nifty, Sensex and major international indices and commodities
  • A quick overview of the day’s key news headlines
  • Panchang details including tithi, rahu kaal and shubh muhurat
  • A shareable good morning image personalized with the user’s name

Beyond convenience, the service is also shaped by growing awareness around the impact of Information overload early in the morning.

Several studies have highlighted that excessive digital stimulation immediately after waking can trigger cortisol spikes, the body’s primary stress hormone. This can contribute to increased anxiety, elevated blood pressure and mental fatigue, particularly when people spend extended periods — sometimes more than 30 minutes — navigating fragmented information across different platforms.

Ghoshna attempts to address this by offering a calm and structured update rather than a constant stream of notifications.

“The idea is not to add more information,” Kothari explains. “It’s to help people access the important updates quickly so they can start their day with clarity.”

The initiative has been developed as a bootstrapped effort, with a focus on gradually building a reliable service before expanding further.

Within the first month of launch, Ghoshna has already attracted over 1,000 early users, many of whom have adopted the service as part of their morning routine.

The platform is currently available free during its early access phase, allowing users to try the service and provide feedback as the product continues to evolve.

Kothari says additional features are already in development. Upcoming updates are expected to include cricket and IPL match updates, along with other contextual information that people often check during the morning.

“As the service grows, the aim is to keep adding useful elements while maintaining the simplicity of the experience,” he says.

The broader vision for Ghoshna is to build a trusted daily habit — one that fits naturally into the routines people already follow.

“Mornings set the tone for the rest of the day,” Kothari adds. “If we can help people start that moment feeling informed instead of overwhelmed, that’s a meaningful step.”

As digital consumption habits continue to evolve in India, services built around existing platforms and familiar behaviours are increasingly gaining traction.

Ghoshna reflects that shift by meeting users where they already are — inside WhatsApp — rather than asking them to adopt yet another platform.

About Ghoshna

Ghoshna is a WhatsApp-first morning briefing founded by Mumbai entrepreneur Sunny Kothari. Delivered every morning at 7:30 AM, the service provides a concise snapshot of markets, news and the day’s panchang, helping users step out informed in under two minutes.

New Delhi [India], March 13: In just one month, Atomesus AI has crossed 1.1 million active users, with the same number of new users joining the platform within the same period. For a young AI platform still expanding its ecosystem, that kind of growth isn’t just impressive — it’s a signal that something meaningful is happening.

Behind the scenes, the data reveals more than just sign-ups. It shows behaviour. Engagement. Curiosity. People actually using the product.

And that’s where the real story begins.

A Million Users — and They’re Not Just Visiting

According to the latest analytics snapshot from the platform’s dashboard:

  • Active users: 1.1 million
  • New users: 1.1 million
  • Average engagement time: 7 minutes 11 seconds
  • Total events recorded: 7.5 million

An average engagement time of over seven minutes is particularly notable in the AI product space. Many platforms struggle to hold attention for even half that time.

Seven minutes means users are not just opening the app out of curiosity.

They are interacting, testing features, asking questions, studying, and exploring AI workflows.

In other words, this is usage — not just traffic.

The Page That’s Driving the Surge

The main Atomesus platform page alone generated:

  • 3.1 million views
  • 1 million active users
  • 7 million recorded interactions

Even more interesting is the bounce rate of just 21.8% on the main product page.

For context, most technology platforms see bounce rates between 40-60%.

Dropping below 25% suggests users are sticking around and moving deeper into the product, rather than leaving after a quick glance.

That kind of engagement usually happens when users quickly understand what a product does — and want to try it.

Login Activity Shows Strong Returning Usage

Another important signal appears in the login data.

The Login page recorded over 130,000 views with a bounce rate of just 2.9%, meaning nearly everyone who lands there continues into the product.

Low bounce on login pages is a classic indicator of returning users, not one-time visitors.

In short:

People are coming back.

And they’re doing it consistently.

The Growth Engine: Curiosity Around AI Learning

A big portion of the platform’s interaction appears to be centred around AI-assisted learning, study tools, and exam preparation.

The analytics dashboard also highlights traffic to pages connected with sign-ups and learning features, including:

  • Sign-up flows
  • Teacher dashboard tools
  • AI learning interfaces
  • Educational exploration pages

With over 7.5 million recorded events in a single month, users are clearly interacting with features — clicking, generating responses, navigating tools, and experimenting with AI capabilities.

This suggests the platform is evolving into more than a chatbot.

It’s becoming a daily-use AI workspace for students and knowledge workers.

Early Signals of Product-Market Fit

Startups often chase a single metric: product-market fit.

It’s the moment when users don’t just try a product — they start depending on it.

The early analytics from Atomesus hint that the platform may be approaching that stage.

Three signals stand out:

1. Rapid user acquisition

1.1 million users in a month is not organic drift. It suggests strong word-of-mouth and curiosity.

2. Deep engagement

A 7-minute average session means users are actually spending time interacting with the system.

High feature interaction

7.5 million events indicate the product isn’t static — people are actively exploring its capabilities.

Together, these signals point toward a platform that is starting to stick.

A Bigger Story: India’s AI Wave

The rise of Atomesus also fits into a broader trend.

India is currently witnessing an explosion of AI adoption across students, developers, creators, and startups. With millions of new internet users entering the digital economy each year, demand for accessible AI tools built for local users is rising rapidly.

Platforms that combine learning, productivity, and AI assistance are positioned to benefit from this shift.

Atomesus appears to be tapping directly into that wave.

What Comes Next

The real challenge begins after the first million users.

The next phase for the platform will likely focus on:

  • Expanding AI capabilities
  • Improving learning and productivity tools
  • Increasing retention and daily active usage
  • Building a larger ecosystem around the platform

If the current trajectory continues, the next milestone could arrive quickly.

Because in the AI world, growth doesn’t usually move in straight lines.

It moves in explosions.

And right now, the numbers suggest that Atomesus may just be getting started.

नई दिल्ली। तिलक नगर स्थित योगेश्वर देवीदयाल महामंदिर में 108 कुंड योग महायज्ञ एवं 106वां शुभ जन्मोत्सव अत्यंत भक्ति, श्रद्धा और आध्यात्मिक ऊर्जा के दिव्य वातावरण में सम्पन्न हुआ। इस पावन अवसर पर हरियाणा, दिल्ली, राजस्थान, पंजाब, उत्तराखंड सहित देश के विभिन्न प्रांतों से बड़ी संख्या में श्रद्धालु, साधक एवं अनुयायी उपस्थित होकर गुरुकृपा का लाभ प्राप्त करने पहुँचे।

कार्यक्रम का शुभारंभ प्रातःकाल 108 कुंड योग महायज्ञ से हुआ। वैदिक ऋचाओं एवं पवित्र मंत्रोच्चार के मध्य श्रद्धालुओं ने यज्ञ में आहुतियां अर्पित कर विश्व शांति, वैश्विक सद्भाव, आध्यात्मिक जागरण और समस्त मानवता के कल्याण की मंगलकामना की। यज्ञ की पवित्र अग्नि और मंत्रों की दिव्य ध्वनि से सम्पूर्ण मंदिर परिसर आध्यात्मिक ऊर्जा और भक्तिमय वातावरण से आलोकित हो उठा।

महायज्ञ के उपरांत भजन-संकीर्तन, ध्यान एवं आध्यात्मिक प्रवचनों का आयोजन किया गया। श्रद्धालुओं ने सामूहिक भक्ति के माध्यम से प्रभु स्मरण और गुरुवंदना करते हुए दिव्य आनंद का अनुभव किया। पूरे कार्यक्रम के दौरान उपस्थित भक्तगण गहन आध्यात्मिक शांति और गुरुकृपा के पावन स्पर्श को अनुभव करते रहे।

इस पावन अवसर पर 106वां शुभ जन्मोत्सव भी अत्यंत श्रद्धा, कृतज्ञता और भक्तिभाव के साथ मनाया गया। भक्तों ने पुष्प अर्पण, प्रार्थना और विभिन्न धार्मिक अनुष्ठानों के माध्यम से अपनी अटूट श्रद्धा और समर्पण प्रकट किया।
