The second part of the event was focused on providing emerging entrepreneurs with the opportunity to pitch their ideas and raise funding for their businesses. Many founders, through their confident pitches, were able to on board Brahma Tank as their investing firm for their companies. This was the primary reason behind the name of the event being Founders x Funders.

Talking about the idea behind hosting an event like Founders x Funders, Gurmeet Likhari, Founder at Brahma Tank and Likhari Foundation, says, “Our organization has always been driven by an important philosophy. We have always believed that giving back to the society and working for the people isn’t just a choice. It is something we, as individuals, ought to do. It has been my calling since childhood and I see it as my own Ikigai. As a businessman, the best skill I can give back to society is the ability to do business. Executing the right idea, at the right time, in the right way is the key to success. Through this event, we were able to guide some incredible entrepreneurs, whom we have always believed in, towards scaling their businesses further and adding some real value to the society we are part of.”

Taking this mission forward, the Foundation has now begun supporting them with seed funding to help kick-start their entrepreneurial journeys. On the occasion, Amrisha Sethi, President, Likhari Foundation said, “At Likhari Foundation, we’re not just supporting individual girls and women–we’re cultivating a powerful ‘Sisterhood’. A community of underprivileged girls who are breaking barriers, achieving independence, and creating a ripple effect of empowerment by lifting others along the way.”

Krish Singh, one of the co-founders of CureAble, a company funded by Brahma Tank, said, “As a company, we will always be grateful to Brahma Tank for believing in us. At CureAble, we offer planned and personalised therapies for neurodiverse and development – delayed kids, right at their home. This helps us build deeper connections — to understand each child & their needs. We have a few centers across Delhi, including our newly opened space in Dwarka. Our strength lies in bringing therapy to families, one home at a time. We’ve started CureAble for just one reason, so, no parent has to figure it out alone.”

During the event, Harish Neotia, founder of Crazy Shots, another Brahma Tank invested company, said, “As entrepreneurs, we look forward to events that stimulate our mind, enable us to come up with sharper ideas and find a path that leads us towards greater success. It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of this get-together. We had a meaningful and in-depth conversation with Gurmeetji. Getting his valuable insights on our brand gave us a good idea about the kind of steps we can take in the near future to ensure it flies higher. The conversation we had with him and several entrepreneurs during this event will contribute in shaping the journey ahead.”

The event turned out to be a vibrant mix of networking, collaboration, guidance, and expansion. It offered founders a platform full of possibilities–whether it was connecting with the right people, refining their business ideas, or exploring funding opportunities. One of the key highlights was how many entrepreneurs not only interacted with potential investors but also received the funding and mentorship they needed to grow. Events like these open up enormous opportunities for founders to take their ventures to the next level. With continued support from Brahma Tank and Likhari Foundation, and the ecosystem they are building together, such businesses will bridge crucial market gaps and achieve lasting impact.

FNPʼs New Raksha Bandhan Film Melds AI With Emotion

Indiaʼs gifting leader introduces a first-of-its-kind AI-powered Raksha Bandhan film, alongside its most expansive and thoughtfully curated collection to date.

24 July 2025: FNP (Ferns N Petals), Indiaʼs most loved gifting brand and the undisputed leader in Rakhi retail, has launched a first-of-its-kind Rakhi brand film created entirely using AI. Continuing the brandʼs powerful thought “Door ho ya paas, Rakhi banayein khaasˮ, the campaign captures the unshakable sibling bond in todayʼs globalised world — where sisters in Delhi can still surprise brothers in Dublin.

Watch:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yyq3s7-xf8

Conceptualised with the agency Teen Bandar and voiced by Piyush Mishra, the 30-second film traces a heartwarming journey of brothers across continents receiving FNP Rakhi gifts — each becoming joyful on having their festivities made special. All visuals have been AI-generated with no physical shoot, portraying cross-continent setups with striking realism.

What makes this effort truly innovative is the use of personalisation — with versions of the film that dynamically include the sender’s or siblingʼs name in the voiceover, making each viewing feel intimate, tailored, and deeply emotional.

Avi Kumar, Chief Marketing Officer, FNP, said:

“With families more global than ever, we wanted to show that distance doesnʼt weaken the bond — especially on Rakhi. By using AI, weʼve reimagined how we tell this story while staying rooted in our core promise: delivering not just gifts, but emotions, on time and across the world. Itʼs a fresh format, but the heart remains the same.ˮ

Savio Joseph, Co-founder, Teen Bandar, added:

“Partnering with FNP again was a joy. This time, we used AI to reinforce their global promise and bring alive a simple insight — that even across borders, a Rakhi can still fieel personal.ˮ

Alongside the campaign, FNP has already unveiled its 2025 Rakhi collection — the most diverse and design-forward range in the country. With thousands of SKUs spanning premium, traditional and personalised offerings, the collection is a tribute to the evolving ways siblings celebrate each other. Highlights include:

  • Designer Collections: From Polki and Pearl finishes to dome-style spiritual rakhis and kidsʼ toy rakhis
  • New-Age Formats: Rakhi-cum-jewellery, magnetic rakhis, and keepsake trinkets
  • Family Combos: Bhaiya-Bhabhi sets, Kids Rakhis, and multi-rakhi family packs
  • Personalised Touches: Name-engraved rakhis, photo gifts, message cards, and custom hampers
  • Gourmet Gifting: Curated hampers featuring artisanal sweets, dry fruits, chocolates, and global flavours
  • Ready-to-Celebrate Gifting: Complete, pre-curated sets with Rakhi, sweets, and messages – perfect for busy consumers

FNP continues to empower siblings across the globe to celebrate their bond, no matter the distance. With international delivery available to over 100 countries – including the Rakhi to USA, UK, Australia, Canada, and the UAE – and reliable same-day and 30-minute express delivery across key Indian cities, FNP ensures your love reaches right on time, no matter where your sibling is. The brandʼs expansive logistical network makes it easier than ever to choose thoughtful, trendy and personalised gifting solutions that delight.

The ‘2025 Park Chung-hee Cup International Open Taekwondo Competition’ was hosted by the Park Chung-hee Cup Organizing Committee and co-hosted by the Gyeongbuk Taekwondo Association and the Sangju City Taekwondo Association. Approximately 4,200 athletes from 18 countries around the world, including Korea, the United States, and France, participated in a heated competition at the Sangju Indoor Gymnasium from the 18th to the 21st. The competition consisted of various events such as comprehensive competition, breaking, poomsae, kicking, and actual sparring, and evaluated the participants’ skills in a three-dimensional manner.

The Shincheonji Taekwondo team had a total of 25 athletes participate in the official poomsae individual competition held on the 19th, and despite the short preparation period, they displayed dazzling skills through focused training and persistent effort. As a result, they achieved the feat of winning 4 gold medals, 7 silver medals, and 14 bronze medals, with all of them winning awards.

In particular, this competition was also notable as an opportunity to enhance the cultural and diplomatic status of the Republic of Korea. The performance in the international competition held in Korea, the home of Taekwondo, is evaluated to have left a strong impression on domestic and international participants.

Lee Jun-wi, who won the gold medal, said, “Although we did not have enough training time, we tried to focus as much as possible within the given time,” and added, “I am grateful that our efforts led to good results.”

Coach Kim Deok-hoon of the national team said, “As this is an international competition, many excellent domestic and foreign players participated and competed at a high level,” and added, “I am proud that the players demonstrated their skills without wavering. Based on this competition, we will systematically prepare a training system and strategy so that we can participate with more people and improved skills next year.”

In addition to this Park Chung-hee Cup, the Shincheonji Taekwondo national team also achieved outstanding results in which all participants won awards at the ‘2025 Kim Un-yong Cup International Open Taekwondo Competition’ held in Busan earlier this month. At that time, 12 people participated and 2 won 1st place, 4 won 2nd place, 5 won 3rd place, etc., and the entire team won medals, continuing the record of winning consecutive awards in international competitions.

In addition, at the ‘2024 Mungyeong World Taekwondo Festival’ held last year, 5 out of 18 participants won medals, and the team has been achieving excellent results in domestic and international competitions every year, establishing itself as a national team with both skills and stable team management.

Shincheonji Church of Jesus actively carries out talent development and healthy community activities in various fields such as sports, culture, and arts as well as faith, and plans to continue to realize healthy lives and social contributions through sports in the future.

Alfa PTE Is The First Platform to Offer New-Format Mock & Practice Tests Following Major Changes Announced By Pearson to PTE Academic / UKVI

Alfa PTE Is The First Platform to Offer New-Format Mock & Practice Tests Following Major Changes Announced By Pearson to PTE Academic / UKVI

New Delhi [India], July 24: Pearson has formally announced a revised format for the PTE Academic and PTE UKVI exams that will go into effect on August 7, 2025. This has been by far the largest test update announced in recent times, with modifications made to assess communication skills in real-world settings better.

The addition of two brand-new question types — Summarize Group Discussion and Respond to a Situation — in the Speaking section is one of the main modifications. In order to better align the test with communicative language use, the update also makes changes to the timing, scoring logics for a few important questions, and task distribution of certain questions, including Read Aloud & Reading & Writing Fill in the Blanks.

The student fraternity has been deeply alarmed by this announcement. In an attempt to maximize the time and effort they have already spent on preparing for the current format, many students are now desperately looking to reserve available exam slots before the new changes take effect. Many others, however, are still unsure about whether to start studying for the updated version or take the test before it is released. Their anxiety has only increased due to the uncertainty surrounding the scoring and assessment of the new question types as well as the newly curated exam. Students are therefore desperately looking for reliable websites and up-to-date materials to direct their study approach.

Alfa PTE has responded swiftly to these changes by becoming the first and only platform in the world to provide access to the new format in its practice modules and mock exams. Weeks before the formal change takes place, students can start practicing the new format thanks to this early rollout.

“We are aware of the uncertainty & panic that exam modifications can cause for students,” Fatima Khan, Head of Training at Alfa Education, stated. “We wanted to eliminate uncertainty and provide students with a realistic sneak peek at what to anticipate. To create an authentic, exam-like experience that fully adheres to Pearson’s most recent specifications, we have worked extremely hard and closely with both our academic & technical teams.”

Key features of the Alfa PTE Update include:

* New Speaking tasks with real-time AI scoring available for practice:

* Full-length mock tests based on the updated PTE Academic format;

* Updated timings & scoring logics to reflect official changes;

* Instant feedback, analytics, and evaluations;

* Continued support for the old format for students taking the exam before August 7, 2025

Alfa PTE is now positioned as a leader in real-time exam simulation and preparation, adapting swiftly to the changing needs of students and Pearson’s standards.

By signing into their accounts and going to the PTE Mock Test section of the Alfa PTE’s website, students can now access the new format mock tests directly. For a more focused preparation, practice for the new Speaking tasks is also offered on an individual basis.

“Knowing what to expect on the test day is crucial, regardless of whether your goal is 65+ or 79+,” the training head continued. “We take pride in being the first to assist students in preparing with assurance rather than uncertainty.”

About Alfa PTE

Alfa PTE is the PTE division of Alfa Education, a leading online resource for IELTS, PTE Academic, PTE UKVI, and PTE Core preparation. The platform, which is trusted by hundreds and thousands of students worldwide, is well-known for its AI-powered mock exams, real-time performance analytics, training-focused insights, and extensive institute management solutions.

Alfa PTE remains dedicated to staying ahead of the curve, making sure that its users always meet the changing requirements and standards established by Pearson and other international testing organizations.

Her unwavering commitment made her a standout among hundreds of participants from across India, all vying for the coveted title of GNC’s All Play No Work Champion.

“This wasn’t easy, there were days my legs gave up before my mind did. But I kept showing up. That’s all. And now I get to call myself the first All Play No Work champion, with a bonus lakh in my account.

This journey changed everything for me. I used to think fitness was boring or just about crash diets. But thanks to GNC, I saw how fun and empowering it can be with the right workouts and the right supplements. I didn’t just lose weight, I found a whole new me.” laughed Rishitha at the grand finale, held on July 17th.

In case you missed it, All Play No Work was GNC’s answer to internships that often involve sitting for 8 hours straight. Instead, this was about moving more, eating right, and finding out what happens when 15 young Females are thrown into a 45-day fitness bootcamp with no escape button. Backed by structured workouts, expert guidance, and premium GNC supplements that supported their recovery and performance, the transformation stories that came out of the program were nothing short of powerful.

Ashutosh Taparia, Managing Director & Board Member, Guardian Healthcare Pvt. Ltd., said,

“At GNC India, we believe transformation is more than physical change, it’s about building resilience, confidence, and a new mindset. The All Play No Work Internship was our way of showing young India that discipline can be fun and rewarding. Rishitha’s success story is a perfect reflection of what’s possible when you commit to living well.”

Balaji Uppala, CEO of GNC India, added,

“Today’s youth want more than a desk and a stipend – they want purpose, experience, and results. The All Play No Work Internship gave them exactly that. From day one, Rishitha showed us what consistency looks like. Her transformation was not just in kilos lost, but in the confidence gained. She is an inspiration to anyone looking to take that first step toward wellness.”

The finale, held on July 17th, brought together finalists for a high-energy celebration of fitness, camaraderie, and personal breakthroughs.

With plans to bring back an even bigger and better edition next year, GNC India continues its mission to empower young Indians to live well, inside and out.
