Young Fashion Entrepreneur Zia Rahman is Reimagining Luxury Streetwear in India and launching his own Luxury Streetwear brand ‘Feddie City’ soon

Luxury Street wear is the new cool! Hate it, love it, but you cannot ignore it. The forever-changing world of fashion is hit by this trend and Indian designers are taking the fashion world by storm. GenZs are following the trend and it is emerging to be one of the fastest growing fashion segments in that audience. The streetwear subculture has been around for a few decades, but social media and the rise of athleisure have recently brought it to the forefront of fashion, not just in India, but globally too. High-end luxury streetwear is the latest status symbol & is gaining momentum among Millennials too. While the luxury streetwear world is taken by storm by Luxury brands like Balenciaga, Gucci and Louis Vuitton, India is not behind anymore. We have a young and dynamic face, Zia Rahman, a Young Fashion Entrepreneur who is reimagining Luxury Streetwear in India.

Zia Rahman, 23, a youthful dynamic GenZ, will be launching his own Luxury Streetwear brand ‘Feddie City’ soon. Zia shares, “In my opinion, Feddie city’s real potential is global reach for a universe that resonates with Clothing, Infrastructure and Estate.” The brand will be launching first of its kind Luxury Streetwear Fashion in India by mid 2021. “Feddie City is craziness tailor made for the Gen Z in you. Our first global collection would launch around September 2021”, Zia said.

Zia, who is currently pursuing his International business management degree at Kingston University wishes to change the narrative of Street Fashion in India. The young Fashion Entrepreneur has nurtured his love for Luxury Streetwear in India since a very young age. Zia says, “I am very passionate about reaching the global market with an enterprise like Feddie City, by reimagining luxury streetwear in India, and making it resonate the mood, vibe, and culture of the GenZ. We are the future, and we’re here to stay.”

Zia got his inspiration for launching his much-awaited fashion line during the lockdown of 2020. “The lockdown gave me a lot of time to go back to what I had in my mind for a long time, and turn my dream into reality”. Speaking about his inspiration he mentioned that, “My favourite brands are Palm Angels, Amiri, and Balenciaga. The streetwear in London, the Graffities on the streets of London, Fashion shows and mass media that expands fashion’s reach and potential inspires me to reimagine it, my own way.”

Zia doesn’t want to focus on the final look & feel of his fashion lines only. He also plans to innovate how fashion brands operate in India. As per Zia, “Modern Indian fashion industry at the moment involves a lot of fast fashion and unsustainable clothing”. As per Zia, vision of Indian modern fashion shall involve ethical and durable clothing where people receive value with ethics for every purchase and that is why he aspires to spark a couture renaissance with Feddie City.

Apart from Streetwear Fashion, Zia’s other interests include cricket, music, browsing fashion blogs, kickboxing, karate and diverse fitness activities. Zia loves the concept of Pangaia’s recycling and appreciates Pangaia’s pioneer breakthrough vegan technologies as well as materials made from recycled plastic and garment waste. The Young Fashion Entrepreneur intends to be part of one of such Eco-Friendly initiatives in future.

Raksha Jha from Araria is one of the upcoming marvelous musical talents from Bihar. Her calm attitude, amiable personality, and incredible voice combine to make her the perfect person to excel in the industry.

She has sung several melodious original songs but has risen to fame with the covers of Pyar hua iqrar hua and Naino ki baat, both of which were widely appreciated on social media. Pyar hua iqrar hua cover by Raksha crossed 819k views on Facebook.

Her singing and voice quality were highly appreciated by Aashiqui superstar Rahul Roy (for Pyar hua iqra hua cover)

Bollywood music director DJ Sheizwood also admired her singing. “Ek Bihari sab par bhari, Raksha is going to achieve all the success she desires very soon,” he said.

“Yeah, my life stayed the same for a while. I was still singing hours and hours and hours a day. It’s only hard work and talent that can help you achieve your goals,” Raksha says.

“Music is the combination of vocal, instrumental, and dance,” she says, “and the elements of melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre can give rise to a soul-healing composition. I have practiced vocal a lot and now I am ready to sing all kinds of songs and melodies. I prefer retro as they are more focused on the singing than the music composition.”

When asked about her Bollywood dreams, Raksha said, “I am slowly rising and the ones that rise from the ashes like Phoneix are the ones who never forget the roots. I will be the same Raksha as my close ones know me even after I become a superstar in the music industry.

“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive”, a believer of the above-mentioned quote by Dalai lama, Akash Thakur MSVA is a humanitarian par excellence. He has taken audiences by storm because of his motivational persona and exhilarating rap songs.

Hailing from Bulandshahr, UP, Aakash is propelled by the desire to spread humanity and hope. Having reached various milestones in a very short span of starting the process of bringing a positive change with his verses. He has released some mind boggling videos on YouTube with lyrics that have deep connection with the current scenario of our country. Akash’s raps are followed by the lovers of humanity who are overwhelmed by his inspiring content that is not vulgar but eye opening.

Since childhood, Akash had a different approach towards different issues of life. He began his YouTube channel in the year 2019 called ‘Humanity: A vision’ after 2 years of visualising his dreams to take his different thoughts on the world to large audiences.

Akash began posting motivational content which got traction and appreciation when he began, but slowly he realised that viewers do not take motivational content seriously. Hence he adapted to a way which was the most in vogue to let his videos reach to massive audiences. Akash Thakur began writing and releasing motivational raps as part of his idiosyncratic content which was received by his viewers with open arms.

“I certainly believe that any good thing that one wants to do should begin now. With this approach and conviction in mind, I began shooting for my YouTube videos, my initial content was shot on my phone. Even though I didn’t shoot with any fancy cameras still the verses were so moving that I was motivated by people to take this streak forward. Today, my music stands verified on all platforms and I am committed to breaking barriers with my raps to weave different stories concerning humanity”, says Akash Thakur MSVA.

In a short span, the efforts of Akash Thakur MSVA have borne fruit. Not only is his content receiving accolades but his music has been verified on iTunes, Spotify, Gaana, Wynk and several other platforms. Akash also subsequently received the YouTube official artist verification and is reigning with his authentic and deeply insightful verses.

Akash Thakur MSVA is also an action taker who simply just doesn’t release raps but also imbibes the goodness that he speaks about in his music. From contributing towards dog health to helping the needy and downtrodden, Akash Thakur MSVA believes in doing service without showcasing it online.

Some of his most powerful verses that have got the most traction consist of Tabaahi, Toofan: A tribute to the Indian army, Darna Nahi hai etc. With over 12000 followers on instagram, Akash is taking various strides and is being driven by the sole purpose of making his voice reach to various corners of our country.

His deep words and a practical approach to guide millennials is catering to the opinion needs of the Indian viewers. Apart from his YouTube channel, Akash is being followed by thousands of enablers like him on social media and his tracks remain much awaited each time to bring a revolution. Spreading the message of hope, humanity and courage, Akash Thakur MSVA is an inspiration who is exemplary in using his talent in the right and most productive ways.

Akash Sharma, who was last seen on the sets of Bigg Boss 13 for supporting his sister, Mahira Sharma during her journey in the reality show, opens up about his upcoming platform, Akke Records and how he wants to become a ray of hope for budding talent.

Talking about Akke Records, he says, “For the longest time, I wanted to contribute to the entertainment biz with great content. I feel like there’s a lot of untouched and unexplored talent in the corners of our country, and I want to bring that into light. I want people to be able to look at the platform and see it as a ray of hope. It’s more or less like a home to talented artists”.

When asked why he’s doing what he’s doing, he says, “I’m doing this out of love for cinema, music and art; I think people who create art whether it’s in the form of music or cinema, are not just artists, but heroes, or I’d say, healers! Because in my opinion, art can do a lot of things. Art can change views, it can change your outlook towards life, and a series of great masterpieces can create a revolution in people’s minds. I want to bring ahead these great artists who can create masterpieces of work. That’s my aim in life”.

He further adds, “Lockdown has been hard on almost all of us, but the trick is to not let it lock down your creativity, and just keep working. And that’s what I’m doing”. When asked when he’s planning to launch Akke Records, he says, “There’s still a lot of ground work to do, but I’m trying my best to have it go live soon”.

Don’t put any restrictions on yourself. Many people place limitations on themselves based on what they believe they are capable of. You can go as far as your imagination will allow. Remember that whatever you believe, you can attain. Believing in himself, Debjyoti Saha founder and CEO of Ok Admission is one of the leading entrepreneurs today.

His Journey

Debjyoti is a 23-year-old entrepreneur from Falakata village in West Bengal’s Alipurduar district. He comes from a working-class family with a modest business. He moved to Dehradun to complete his graduation in agriculture. He always wanted to do some job and contribute to society’s problems.

So, he intended to build an Agrotech setup for this purpose, but it failed during the ideation stage. He noted that kids have a hard time deciding which institutions to attend, and he himself has struggled with this. He saw that the admissions process is disorganised and improper and that it also fails to deliver accurate information.

In 2017, when he was just 19 years old, he came up with his first venture DMG Educational Foundation. Where he along with his friends gave advice to students regarding admissions. The venture got a boost and many known colleges tied up with them as admission counselling partners and marketing.

Though they made a decent profit, the business did not thrive since they operated in a physical environment and were unable to reach a huge number of students.

Turning Dreams into Reality

Taking inspiration from Steve Jobs, who despite numerous failures throughout his life, never gave up. Similarly, despite numerous challenges, he did not give up and intends to launch a new enterprise based on the same old admissions concept but with a technology-driven facility.

In the year 2020, he began his search and discovered Okadmission.com, a one-stop solution for all your admission needs, where students may search institutions by region, course, and exam. They offer the ability to compare institutions and have even established bank partnerships on their website, where they provide detailed information about education loans and allow students to apply for a loan.

They have hostels listed on their website for students, and students can choose which hostels they want. They offer a professional team of career counsellors who assist students in making the best choices possible anytime they are stumped. The counsellors assist students in obtaining admission to their desired colleges through telephonic conversation

“The ed-tech market is in a growth period owing to covid-19,” he stated when asked about the present market position. “Because the online ed-tech market is students’ only option for studying, numerous ed-tech startups are thriving at this time. They’re seizing the chance because the internet is the way of the future,” he further added.


About OkAdmission

OkAdmission, an ed-tech firm, is the world’s first and only technology-driven career counselling and admissions help firm. They include a number of features that other sites don’t have, such as college comparisons, one-stop financing services, and a hostel directory where students may book hostels from the same site. So they have everything under one roof, from admission to loan.

Currently, the headquarter is situated in Dehradun, Uttarakhand targeting school passed out students.  They have raised 3 million rupees as pre-seed funding from a renowned investor and want their firm to rule the education market. With the help of the firm, Debjyoti wants to create more than a thousand jobs by 2024 and one lakh student admission.

For his creative ideas, the company was selected as the top100 startup ideas in the country. And for the upcoming entrepreneurs, Debjyoti said, “Stay calm and don’t give up, keep patience. Because the ed-tech market is the market where it takes time for customer acquisition. So keep patience and go-ahead!”

Like Debjyoti Saha, one should always be motivated and focused in order to achieve one’s goals and establish one’s own place in the world.

Concerning the current situation, Mr. Ashok Kumar Todi, Chairman said, “While demand remains strong, the supply situation is likely to be adversely impacted by disruptions from COVID-19 lockdowns in India. We will remain agile to address the challenges and drive consistent, competitive, and cash accretive growth over the medium to long term. The export market is showing a strong traction and majority of requirement is coming towards India. Strategy towards expansion is in place to increase the manufacturing and supply chain capacity to tab the market share in the ladies and kids segment.”

Commenting on the Financial Results, Mr. Pradip Kumar Todi, Managing Director said, “Revenue for the quarter is at an all-time high with a top line of around 601 Crore with a growth of 49.02%. EBITDA has shown a record growth and stands at Rs. 128.96 Crores an accelerated growth @ 95.16%, while PAT stands at Rs. 90.64 Crores with the growth of 118.46% respectively for Q4 FY 21. This is mainly attributed to the simultaneous volume and pricing growth across product segments.”

Mentioning the Results and way forward Mr. SaurabhBhudolia, CFO said, “During the FY 2021, Top line stands at around 1965 Crore with a growth of 17% and PAT has grown @52% with an absolute number of around 269 Crore. Company has generated anoperating cash flow of Rs. 388.54 Crore out of which around Rs. 66.11 crore has been used for Capex and around Rs. 112.04 crore to repay the borrowings.

Being a marketing expert, Vinay Hankare is devising a new Facebook retargeting Ads strategy for 2021 to yield a better return on investment. He is now sharing his expertise on best practises of retargeting and his proven tips for free to help others do better in their business.

The foundation of retargeting ads is that you retarget any lead or potential buyer to your offer. He usually recommends that you spend about five to 10% of your ad budget for retargeting ads. It’s not a lot of your budget, but it often results in 80% of the sales and results.

You can level up your retargeting by pairing a specific ad at every point in your customer journey where you want somebody to take action. He recommends drawing your customer journey out and then looking at every point where you want the lead to actually do something. Let’s use a webinar funnel as an example. That customer journey might start with a video or a piece of content that you want someone to consume.

The next step in that customer journey that you want someone to take is actually register for your webinar. So you’d have those registration ads, he will cover lead generation in depth here. After a lead signs up for your webinar, what is the action you want them to take?

You want them to actually watch your webinar. So you then have an opportunity for everybody who signed up for your webinar, but hasn’t watched it yet, to send them an ad and specifically send them back to the webinar, even addressing that you know they signed up in the webinar, you know they’re interested in your content, but they haven’t watched it yet.

Once you know that somebody watched your webinar, what do you want them to do? You want them to buy your offer that you pitched on that webinar. Now, here’s where we can get into variation of different types of ads. You can have testimonial ads, video ads, case study ads.

These ads should specifically hit on objections you know your audience has.

• Will this work for me?
• Is this investment worth it?
• How am I going to pay this off?
• Will I get results?

Whatever you know the objection is that your audience has, address that in your retargeting ads to them. Now, moving through the customer journey, you’re gonna have people who land on your sales page. Maybe they make it even as far as your cart, your checkout page.

They are on the fence of buying, but then they abandon. They don’t actually finish purchasing. That’s an opportunity for an ad to send people back to that page.

Each of these examples are really inexpensive to run as ads because you’re talking about a very hyper-targeted audience that you’ve already paid or done the work to get them so far and now you spend a little bit of your budget, and you’ll be able to finish and close that loop and hopefully having them purchase your offer. One time he supported with a client e-commerce where we spent $1,100 on sales page and abandoned cart ads. He was selling a $2,000 product, and it resulted in $1.2 million in sales, just from those ads.

Your retargeted audiences are already warm. They already have trust in your brand. They’ve consumed some sort of content. And now, if you can speak to that audience based on where they are in your customer journey, you’ll be able to effectively push them over the fence and have them take action. If you have any type of traffic going to a webinar or watching your content or even landing on a sales page, you have an audience that you can target right now today. Every day that you don’t have retargeted ads set up, you’re actually leaving money on the table.

When you go to set up a retargeted ad, you set it up just like any other ad. But then when you actually go to select the audiences, you’re selecting custom audiences within your Ads Manager.

So assuming you already have your offer that you’re sending people to and you’ve selected the objective as conversion, let’s dive into the Ads Manager, where I’ll show you how to find and set up those audiences. Once you’re in the Ad Set level, you’ll have the option to choose any custom audience you’ve created in your Ads Manager.

So if you click this box, it will show you all the different options of audiences you’ve already created.

For example, he could select this audience, Vinay Hankare All Website Visitors (180D), people who have landed on his website in the last 180 days. He would select them to target. And he would want to exclude his buyers.

So to make it easy, he could have an audience of anybody who’s landed on the Purchase Pixel in the last 180 days. Now he has an audience of people who registered for his webinar but have not purchased his offer yet. And he can send them an ad that he would like. Now, if you don’t see any audiences come up when you go to do this, you have to have created them already in your Facebook Ads Manager. He showed you exactly how to do that in this article.

Now, as promised, he wanted to show you some example of retargeting ads that might be relevant to your business. These examples are a testimonial ad, a case study ad, an abandoned cart or an abandoned sales page ad, or an abandoned application or call booking ad or any other place where your customers or leads landed and didn’t finish the action you wanted them to take.

Once you have all of these setups, the next step is learning how to scale and optimize your ads. In the next blog, he will cover his exact process for doing that.

PwC report says there will be an addition of $1.76 trillion to global GDP by 2025 heralded by blockchain where DeFi will have a major role to play. At the time of writing, DeFi has contributed $77.66 billion to the cryptosphere by riding on a 2.7 million investment driven by institutions and hedge-fund owners like dHEDGE investors Framework Ventures, DeFiance Capital, Divergence Ventures but the vision for mass adoption requires the next billion population to enter the DeFi space for a trillion dollar contribution.

The contentious issues nevertheless are obstacles to massive adoption. CeFi and DeFi have different approaches. On one hand where CeFi rides on convenience, DeFi has innovated CeFi products but the convenience part though existent is beyond the scope of general understanding.

MassDeFi, a decentralized lending and borrowing protocol is designed by combining the best of both CeFi and DeFi worlds to bring that understanding in the picture. It will unravel  a revolution to onboard the next billion users in DeFi space by following the path of least resistance.

For that purpose, Mass Defi is unleashing goals of massive mass adoption by building world-in class financial products. The product development cycle has given due diligence to a  user-first approach simplifying onboarding, and engagement in just a click of a button.

MassDeFi on Binance Smart Chain(BSC) Resolving High Fee Challenges of Investors/Borrowers Obstructing Adoption

One of the prime concerns of DeFi users are high gas fees paid on Ethereum blockchain. In order to help resolve that, MassDeFi launched on BSC make expenditure lucrative by riding on;

MZero

MZero, a product that does not let you miss the upside of your crypto. Buy your utilities mortgaging your crypto but with the advantage of withdrawing them any moment to exploit the market upside.

MBL

MBL allows you to deposit your crypto in MassDeFi vault/smart contract and get money directly credited to your bank account in fiat form.

Mass Crypto Loans

Mass Crypto Loan allows you to stake your crypto in MassDeFi vault and get fiat or other crypto in exchange for the crypto you staked/mortgaged.

Credit cards

MassDeFi’s credit card allows users to use crypto for utility in the real world via crypto credit cards. These credit cards are accepted at POS and e-commerce stores.

Attracting Investors  With 3x to 4x Promise on Their Returns

Mass Stable Yield (MSY)

MassDeFi has provision for stable yields on deposits.  Investors that prefer to avoid risk can pledge their crypto in MassDeFi vault/smart contract for stable returns by investing in stable coins liquidity pools.

Mass Direct Yield (MDY)

MassDeFi by partnering with NEO banks allows investors to have fiat to invest in MassDeFi liquidity pools. The investors get their crypto returns converted directly into fiat which they can withdraw from these partner banks. 

Mass Compound Yield

Mass DeFi algorithmically allocates the vault funds via smart contract to put it in the best liquidity pools with high returns. The investors or stakers can withdraw their funds(Principal + Interest) and invest in other liquidity pools with better returns to enjoy compounding returns. The interests can be harvested/transferred directly to the bank account following MassDeFi NEO bank partnership.

Conclusion

MassDeFi’s goal is to give maximum convenience that users are getting in CeFi along with high yields that crypto users are getting in DeFi. When convenience, better returns, and automation via technology will simultaneously occur, it will attract the next billion users who have so far considered DeFi to be the technology for the nerds.
