New Delhi: In India’s evolving work culture, a quiet transformation is taking place. For years, attendance systems in Indian workplaces have primarily focused on presence, including punch-in times, biometric scans, and long hours logged.

Employers are increasingly starting to ask a bigger question: is someone’s physical presence at their desk the same as being truly productive?

Bathrooms, the unsung heroes of our house, are integral. Imagine an aesthetically appealing bathroom that glorifies your place. One of the key aspects that complete the aesthetics of the bathroom is its sanitary fittings. For years, Indian homeowners faced a tough choice: splurge on fancy international fittings or settle for something that barely lasted a monsoon. The result?

She stepped in with a need. “As an actor, I wore hair extensions all…

Five years ago, if you had told Akash Tiwari Founder of Gygs, he’d end up building a tech platform for creators, he probably would’ve laughed it off. At the time, he was in the thick of the performance world, hosting shows, dancing, managing artists, trying to make things work. No fancy degrees. No startup buzzwords.

Not every startup story starts with a pitch deck and a VC call. Some begin with late nights, frugal coffees, and a burning desire to solve problems that most people haven’t even noticed yet.
