Today’s business of contemporary media is unique, global, and diverse. With so much to consume across a range of platforms on a daily basis, it is clear that staying abreast of the rapidly evolving media consumption needs is the only way to stay ahead of the curve. After all, it is all about creating and not chasing headlines while understanding what tempts the increasingly media-saturated society. One such web media maestro who has decoded the new-age media needs with his fresh vision and creativity is Mumbai-based director, Vedd V Rawtaani.

Promo editor of Ranveer Singh-starrer Gully Boy, Vedd V Rawtaani, is the first member of his family to embrace the world of filmmaking. Forever fascinated with performing arts right from his childhood days, he has always had immense love for acting, writing, and directing. A 2015 batch Whistling Wood graduate, Rawtaani was the youngest students in his batch to be chosen for specialization in the field of direction. 

A keen observer of real-life happenings, the directorial prodigy believes that the real mantra of success lies in continually creating, improvising, and evolving. Life is all about constant changes and learning to adapt to them. By the end of the day, mastering the art of creating, improving, and evolving is how one can stay abreast in their professional realm. 

Being immersed continuously by the ideas of the creation of content is how one should aim at living, according to Rawtaani. Staying close to these principles in his career span too, Rawtaani, along with Prasun, formed a company called Filmi Fiction in 2016 intending to create original fictional content in the form of web series. Improvising in his art of direction from the tender age of 13, Rawtaani believes in never wasting a single moment not doing what you love.

When asked about what really inspires him in the field of direction and how can one excel in it, Rawtaani says: “I have always been fond of direction. I love living in an age of really great visionaries who are at the top of their directorial game, which is a genuine learning experience for new directors like me. Be it Mahesh Bhatt, Vikram Bhatt, Mohit Suri, Nitesh Tiwari, Rajkumar Hirani, or Rohit Shetty, I love how today’s directors know what audience wants and they deliver just that.”

A real star is not only someone who produces successful stints one after the other but someone who realizes their true potential and spends every day honing their skills for the love of their audiences. 

It takes a lot of courage to achieve your goal without anyone’s backing. Nothing can stop you to chase your dreams if you work hard towards it. Lovy Singh Bhatia achieved his goal on his own and built his own empire and is a popular internet influencer today. His journey to becoming a fashion influencer is really motivating. At the age of 17, he randomly started to post his pictures by getting clicked in the different locations of Delhi. With having good looks and photogenic face, Lovy initially embarked on his blogging journey and within 2 months he touched 10K followers and started getting a lot of offers to collaborate with the brands.

At the start, many people teased him and demotivated him that he would be a failure in his life but their words did not stop him and he achieved his goal. Moreover, it was a bit difficult for him to earn money at the start as he had to pay to the photographer and also bear the travel expenses. However, with time, he started earning good money.  The influencer brought a DSLR camera for him and taught his friend how to click pictures. Today, Bhatia has turned the tables and the people who teased him at one time look up to him and ask him for a shout-out on social media. 

Besides fashion, he is also an influencer and has been associated with more than 200 brands which are based in more than 25 countries like America, Australia, Nigeria, Canada, Dubai etc. Versace, SheIn, Daniel Wellington, Cantabil, PVR Cinemas are some of the top brands the blogger has collaborated with. “There are many naysayers who came my way. I never thought I would become a fashion and Instagram influencer but I had a belief in myself to do something big in life. Self-motivation is the key to get ahead in life and it has helped me achieve where I am today”, said Lovy Singh Bhatia. Very often people have a notion that a blogger’s life is all about shoots, getting free products and earning fame. Talking about it, he said, “As an influencer, I need to invest my time on shoots not get free products from the brand but to create relevant and engaging content for my audience. It is my responsibility to offer genuine content to the audience.

When asked about his life goal, Lovy Singh Bhatia said that he wants to become the top fashion blogger and create great content which would speak for itself and inspire people. Besides this, he also expressed his desire to become a rap artist. Well, we wish him loads of luck for his future works and his journey from being teased by his peers

New Delhi: The Modi government is on a selling spree. Like a spoiled brat it is putting on block one public asset after the other. It is for some reasons desperate to sell the flag carrier Air India, often termed as jewel of the nation.

Completely exposed on its economic policies, the government’s move to sell off Air India could do irreversible damage to the nation in the long run.

It would be the most unfortunate day when the national carrier goes under the hammer. Air India is not just any other airline . It is one of the symbols of sovereignty and pride of the nation. It was Air India which flew gangrape victim Nirbhaya to Singapore for treatment and brought her back when she was declared dead. The airline readied its plane to operate medical emergency flight within an hour of instruction from the then government.

The airline has successfully evacuated Indians from war zones in Iraq and Libya besides safely flying people when they were hit by a natural calamity.

Now that the government is hell bent to sell the national carrier, it is necessary to bring facts to the fore. Also, the inside story behind the whole idea which people fear to discuss given how brutal and vindictive the regime could be to them.

The insiders say that the government wants to sell Air India as it thinks that the airline is part of the UPA-II’s corruption legacy and hence it must be disposed off. This is totally a prejudiced view. Air India belongs to the nation and not to Congress or BJP. Once a decision is taken with certain bias and prejudice, it is set to result in disaster.

One of the key arguments for Air India’s privatization is its losses and why taxpayers’ money be used to run an airline. Neither of the two arguments withstands the scrutiny of logic. If high losses are the reason for privatization, then why its profitable subsidiary Air India Express has been put on the block. As far as taxpayers’ money is concerned, the government is subsidizing air travel under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s signature regional connectivity scheme UDAN to help common man realize the dream of flying.

Under UDAN, subsidy is being given to private airlines too for providing air connectivity to remote areas. But when the same connectivity is being provided by Air India and its regional subsidiary Alliance Air, the financial support to it is seen through different prism.

Despite heavy losses, Alliance Air continues to operate its flight on Delhi-Simla route to ensure government’s commitment to provide cheap flights is fulfilled. Private carrier SpiceJet instantly suspended UDAN flight to Dhaka from Guwahati after finding occupancy lower than expected.

“It will be unfair to not give Air India its due credit. Many towns are on the aviation map of the country today because of Air India,” a veteran aviation professional said.

There is a lot of hullabaloo around the Rs 30,000 crore bail-out package given to Air India in 2012. Since the bail-out plan was staggered over 10 years, the yearly financial support has been Rs 2,500 crore. Given the size of Air India’s operations and commitment towards government’s sovereign function, the amount is insignificant.

It may be noted that when all other airlines stopped flying after Pakistan’s airspace closure this year in the wake of tensions between two countries, Air India continued its long-haul flights to the US and Europe taking circuitous route. This caused the airline massive loss of about Rs 150 crore a month.

A senior bureaucrat blamed the absence of autonomy for the airline’s poor show in the last decade. He said that generally an IAS officer was appointed and kept under constant threat impairing the decision-making. To be sure, the airline is currently headed by Railway engineer Ashwani Lohani. He has been offered the job for the second time after his retirement from the Railways. The move is perhaps akin to appointing a medical practitioner to write a history text book.

In the last five years, the airline has seen four chairman and managing directors (CMDs). Needless to say, all have been outsiders and career bureaucrats.

“Since the officers is are more concerned about what Mantriji liked and did not like, long-term policy implementation always remained a challenge. The management is rarely separated from the government,” said an insider.

Pushed to the brink in 2010 in the wake of a massive spike in fuel price, the airline had appointed expat Gustav Baldauf as its chief operating officer. The professional, however, quit much before his three year term after he fell out with the government.

One of the key grouses for his departure was government not giving free hand in managing day-to-day affairs.

Not many of Baldauf’s plans could see the light of the day as government system did not allow it.

While airline staff have their own share of the blame for the poor performance, the government is the major culprit. It last year announced to sell the airline deeply demoralizing the staff. It has continued since then reflecting on its operations and financials. With the latest push to privatize Air India by all means, the airline has been left rudderless.

“This government never tried to realize Air India’s social objectives. A financial help of Rs 2,500 crore annually is peanut compared to what it has been doing. If you see the economics of the airline, nearly Rs 4,500 crore goes every year by way of interest. If you remove this, Air India’s performance is as good as any other airline,” said an airline executive.

“The airline’s average annual loss is Rs 4,500 crore. So, if this much money is given to the airline there would not be any crisis. There would not be any cash starvation,” he added.

The executive said that the government’s intentions seem beyond privatization stressing that it considers everything pre-2014 as Congress entity. There is hence, he noted, an anger towards Air India.

“There is a feeling in the current dispensation that anything that is associated with Nehru or Congress just needs to be thrown out. The move to privatize Air India is partly influenced by this feeling,” the veteran said.

The life of Yashraj Singh Tada, a successful entrepreneur, and an ace fashion designer is an inspiring tale of hard work and dedication towards his craft. The way he has climbed the ladder of success requires a lot of determination to achieve it.

The inspiration behind becoming an entrepreneur was his own father and he started at a very early age. His belief was always in generating jobs instead of doing one himself.

After completing his Bachelor of Design from GD Goenka University, India, he was exposed to a multicultural and creative atmosphere. During his education, he also got specialization in Business Organisations, Management Concepts and Marketing by choosing the correct subjects.

While being in college, he was one of the scholars of the college who were selected to study in Milan, which is known as the fashion capital of the world. This really helped him in developing great fashion designing skills and guiding his career on the right path.

Apart from fashion designing, he is an avid photographer and has also worked as the official photographer of PITI UomO – Men’s fashion week for two years in a row – 2016 and 2017.

He did not stop here and his designs were launched at the Delhi Times Fashion Week in 2018. His craft and skills also won him DLF Emporio Design Award, which is one of the best design awards in the country.

“My life journey has been greatly inspired by my father who not only helped me get on the right path but has helped me maintain a learning attitude throughout without getting in the hangover of success,” said Tada.

When he was in Milan, during his college days, he developed a keen interest in travel and street style photography there.

After executing all these projects with perfection and garnering lots of praises for himself, he attended a highly reputed designing competition in Paris, where his designs were showcased among the top 10 garments on stage.

This consistent success was the result of his undying hunger for learning and with all his experience, he finally launched a big startup “NYARO”, which in no time became a huge brand across the country as well as the world. The brand was also funded by the Ministry of Textiles.

“India is one of the most culturally rich countries I have ever visited. There is nothing about it you can’t like. While traveling across the country, I came across a myriad of cultures, customs, and arts. I wonder how even after all the invasions, it has preserved its purity, and that makes its art and culture distinct.” said the multi-talented entrepreneur.

He has implemented all his experience in his brand as he has created this keeping the rich culture of India in mind.

While designing collections for international models, he also developed a keen interest in photography. His interest was the driving force behind his quick learning and he soon was named the official street style photographer for Milan Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week.

During the course, he also developed an interest in Street Styling and Street Style Photography. He was the first Indian Street Style Photographer to visit the world’s most reputed Fashion Weeks.

He was invited because of his exceptional sense of Trend Analysis. Today, the biggest of the brands and models wait for his trend analysis. He has already worked with noted models like Jessel Stewart, Laura Argy, Monica Dimova, Linda Tol, Manuela Lupascu, Abla Sofy, Ilaria Forlani, Chiara Ferragni etc.

His photography passion inspired him to launch COD STUDIO where he has on-boarded his friends with leadership qualities to run the business smoothly.

At such young age, he has not only done all these things but has also worked with Divine Group to organize Miss Divine Beauty Pageant in 2019 where they chose Miss Intercontinental India and Miss Earth India 2019. It took him seven days in the pre-production stage in which he worked with his team to onboard some sponsors and planning of the entire event.

It was a six-day event and the management and direction of the entire event were taken care of by COD Studio. NYARO was the official brand partner of the event.

After the grand success of the event, Yashraj Singh Tada was honored on stage as the director of the whole event.

This career story simply explains – hard work and dedication towards your craft will ensure that you achieve the pinnacle of success. Following your passion is the only way to be successful and happy at the same time.
