Audio Engineer & Music Producer Akash Das Talks About The Growth of Independent Music In India

Audio Engineer & Music Producer Akash Das Talks About The Growth of Independent Music In India

In the ‘90s, the indipop scene was at its peak in India. Several artists like Sonu Nigam, Alisha Chinai, Adnan Sami and bands like Euphoria and Indian Ocean rose to fame by partnering with Magnasound and other music labels that were keen on promoting releasing non-film music. As cassettes and CDs made way for digital downloads, the album culture died down. Now, the digital revolution and the emergence of music streaming apps have resulted in the resurgence of independent music. DJ and music producer Akash Das echoes this statement.

Talking about the same, he says, “Independent music has helped in empowering musicians in India. There were many artists who were great at what they were doing but not getting the support of any big music label. Now, they can create the music they want to and release it on YouTube and all the audio streaming apps. Many of the popular musicians we know of today have gained recognition for the work they have created and released themselves. The Independent music industry will get bigger with time and that will help everybody who wants to create good music from the heart”.

The 22-year-old musician, who grew up in Jaipur, has several hit singles to his credit. Apart from becoming popular in India, his music has also reached out to listeners based in different parts of the world. Akash has made a name for himself as a musician who creates music in India that appeals to a global audience. As an artist, he has worked with big labels and has released a lot of music independently as well. In 2020, the maverick musician was signed by an international label.

“Working with a big music label and releasing music independently are two different processes. I enjoy both processes equally. When you are making music independently, you have all the freedom in the world. When you work with a big record label, you have to work according to the brief given by them and what they are expecting from you. However, they also spend a lot of money on promoting the song and ensure you get a lot of visibility. In the next few years, independent music will become a proper industry and there would be a good budget for marketing as well”, he says.

While Akash loves the feeling of performing in front of an audience and touring extensively, he spent the last few months in his studio working on tracks that he plans to release this year, one after another. His immediate release would be ‘Unity’, a single which, he promises, will surprise his fans pleasantly. His motto for 2023 is to create music that will strike a chord with people of all age groups and stand the test of time.

Henna Has Several Health Benefits Which We Trying To Create Awareness Of” – RKS Henna Founder & CEO Raj Kumar Gupta

Henna Has Several Health Benefits Which We Trying To Create Awareness Of” – RKS Henna Founder & CEO Raj Kumar Gupta

In India and elsewhere, Henna is used extensively as a cosmetic product. Apart from being used extensively in hair dyes and other hair care products, it is also used as a dye for hands, nails and clothing items. However, very few people, including the ones who use it regularly, are aware of the several health benefits associated with it. Entrepreneur Raj Kumar Gupta, who is the founder and CEO of RKS Henna, has taken the pledge to create awareness around this among general consumers.

Talking about the same, Raj Kumar Gupta says, “One of the biggest reasons behind me setting up RKS Henna was that I was hugely inspired by the various properties of Henna that are beneficial for one’s health. If you apply organic Henna to a wound, the healing process becomes much faster. It also proves to be helpful to those who suffer from fungal infections, dandruff, scabies, eczema and other conditions. Henna also helps one in dealing with stomach ulcers. While many reputed health experts across the world are studying the health effects of Henna extensively, there needs to be more awareness around it”.

Raj Kumar Gupta laid the foundation of RKS Henna in the year 2000. In its expansive journey, spanning more than two decades, RKS Henna has become a name to reckon with. What makes RKS Henna further special is the fact that it is a brand that was built in India and has created a niche for itself in international markets as well. Apart from manufacturing a variety of high-quality Henna products in India, RKS Henna also exports them to foreign countries.

“We have always credited the growth and success of our brand to the trust and confidence our customers have placed in us. I always believed in Henna as an entity and therefore, I didn’t want to restrict our products to India. With time, we strengthened our distribution base considerably and started exporting our products to different countries across the world. The love that we received from our consumers settled abroad is as special as the trust that has been bestowed upon us by our Indian consumers”, says Gupta.

As a company, one of the important plans RKS Henna has this year is to launch initiatives and programs aimed at making consumers more aware of how the usage of Henna can bring a positive change in their lifestyle. There are also plans to expand the company’s footprint and set up distribution centres in countries that haven’t had access to its products so far.

Celebrity Chef brings Authentic Italian Pizza and Breads to Goa

Celebrity Chef brings Authentic Italian Pizza and Breads to Goa

A popular new pizzeria has locals excited for fresh pizza, daily baked breads, and desserts.

Pizza & Pao Pizzeria and Bakery is the latest culinary addition to South Goa in Patnem Beach and is now open daily from 8 am – 11 pm. In preparation for the new pizzeria the chef-owner Baba, who goes by his first name only, traveled throughout Italy to bring the taste of Italian Neapolitan-style pizzas and breads back to his hometown of Goa.

Baba was born in India with roots in both Agra and Goa but eventually found his time living between India, Los Angeles and Italy. It was in Hollywood where he became known as “The Spice Master ” as he cooked for high-profile celebrities, most notably The Rolling Stones, Drew Barrymore, Al Pacino, Madonna, Jeff Goldblum, and Leonardo DiCaprio. He also starred as a regular guest cook on The George and Alana Show, a nationally televised talk show. He eventually opened and later sold his own popular Indian Fusion restaurants that were celebrated in several Los Angeles publications. He has remained friends with many celebrities who leaned on Baba for his expert use of spices and healthy outlook on cooking.

Guided by his passion for food and community, Baba has returned to Goa after 35 years to bring Italian Neapolitan style Pizza to his hometown. “The people of Goa are very open to trying international cuisines and Goa attracts tourists from all over the world,” says Baba. Baba is passionate about the gourmet pizza niche. “There is nothing like this in the area, Goa is going to be the food capital of India and the connection of pizza to Indian cuisine is actually closely related.” With all his travels throughout Italy, Baba knows the secret to amazing pizza is high-quality fresh ingredients, and he imports both extra virgin olive oil and 18-month-aged Parmigiano Reggiano. Perhaps one of the most important ingredients is the pizzerias infamous sourdough pizza dough. Prior to opening Pizza & Pao, he trained his chefs by bringing in the world-renowned Master artisan baker Beesham Soogrim, who is known as Beesham-The-Baker by his nearly 100k social media followers. Beesham the Baker gave an intensive Master Class in baking and came up with proprietary methods of cooking sourdough with local Indian flour. The result is a menu filled with bountiful sourdough breads topped with fresh local fruit and nuts, pizza, fresh croissants and other Italian desserts made fresh daily.

Pizza & Paos menu features a wide range of offerings which include his signature BBQ Chicken pizza, and many different vegetarian pizzas, along with the bakery menu with breads, desserts and now an extensive breakfast menu with an array of sourdough bagels.

Due to its steadfast popularity, Pizza & Pao is currently expanding into a dine-in location set to open after the holidays
and will continue to expand in 10 more locations within 36 months.

Indian startup launches first content platform for mental health

Indian startup launches first content platform for mental health

Comprehensive content platform covers mental health news, guest posts, features, interviews, podcasts, and more to guide Indians on their mental journey; aims to be the ‘WebMD of mental health’ for India

Bangalore, Jan. 13, 2023 – Metta Media has announced the launch of MyndStories – India’s first platform for verified, accurate mental health content exclusively for Indians.

MyndStories offers comprehensive mental health content tailored to an Indian audience through features, news, interviews, podcasts, first-person essays, curated therapists, and support groups. The platform empowers Indians through their mental health journey with professionally vetted and fact-checked content providing guidance, advice, and insights. All articles on MyndStories are reviewed by a mental health professional or therapist and fact-checked by an editorial board member with a healthcare background.

MyndStories also has a growing number of facilitators and expert coaches for their community-led group therapy support circles called Spaces. The platform seeks to provide more conversations around mental health, given that:

  • India has only 75 psychiatrists per 100,000 patients.
  • As per recent surveys, almost 150 million Indians require mental health services, but stigma and lack of resources form big barriers to reaching out for support – less than 30 million people seek help.

MyndStories is led by Smitha Murthy and Swati Nair, who have worked across companies like IBM, Egon Zehnder, Thomas White International, and Bosch in diverse, content-related roles for 35 years, cumulatively. They also founded India’s first offbeat travel aggregator in Trippin Traveller, and run a content firm for startups in LifeWordsmith.

Speaking on the launch, MyndStories co-founder Smitha Murthy says, “We believe that post-Covid-19, there’s a huge shift in how people look at wellness and in terms of what they seek online. This is where immersive, inclusive content on mental wellness can help. We want to be the voice of mental health for Indians.”

“We aim to empower people to make the best decisions for their wellness, to create more awareness around mental health by making content that will enhance the quality of our lives. We want to strip the current hesitancy, embarrassment, stigma, and all the other walls surrounding mental health conversations. We want to make mental health conversations cool,” adds co-founder Swati Nair. MyndStories is part of Metta Media Pvt Ltd.

Direct Tax Collection Increases 24.58% to Rs 14.71 Lakh Crore as of January 10th

The government data released on Wednesday showed that the country’s gross direct tax collection rose by 24.58% to Rs 14.71 lakh crore till January 10th this fiscal, driven by an increase in personal income tax collection. The net direct tax collection, after adjusting for refunds, stood at Rs 12.31 lakh crore, which is 19.55% higher than the net collections for the same period last year.

This net collection is 86.68% of the total budget estimates of direct taxes for the current fiscal. The budget had estimated direct tax collection at Rs 14.20 lakh crore this fiscal. On a gross basis, collections from corporate income tax (CIT) grew by 19.72%, while that for personal income tax (PIT) increased by 30.46%.

The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) said in a statement, “The provisional figures of direct tax collections up to 10th January, 2023 continue to register steady growth. Direct tax collections up to 10th January, 2023 show that gross collections are at Rs 14.71 lakh crore which is 24.58% higher than the gross collections for the corresponding period of last year.”

After adjusting for refunds, the net growth in CIT collections is 18.33% and that in PIT (including securities transaction tax) is 20.97%. The steady growth in direct tax collection is a positive indication for the government’s revenue collection and a sign of economic recovery post the pandemic. The government’s efforts to increase compliance and bring more taxpayers into the tax net seems to be paying off as well.
