How Shubham Rajput & Dev Solanki Are Building Smarter Businesses with Y2WAY

A business owner can have the latest software, a strong team and an impressive customer base—and still lose hours every day because the systems connecting everything do not work properly.

Customer information might sit in spreadsheets. Payments might be tracked manually. Factory activity may be visible on CCTV without producing useful operational insights. Employees may spend more time preparing reports than acting on them.

These everyday problems are central to the thinking behind Y2WAY Universal Consultancy, the venture built by young entrepreneurs Shubham Sanjaysinh Rajput and Dev Virendrakumar Solanki.

Their idea is straightforward: before adding more technology, understand why the existing process is inefficient.

It is an approach shaped by a freelancing journey that began in 2017 and has since evolved into a multidisciplinary consultancy. According to the founders, they have delivered 187 projects in the past two years across their freelance-to-consultancy journey, responding to different business and technology requirements. Both founders received appreciation in July 2026 from Rivaba Ravindrasinh Jadeja, Gujarat’s Minister of State for Primary, Secondary and Adult Education.

The Hidden Cost of Doing Things the Old Way

Indian businesses are increasingly exploring artificial intelligence, customer management software and workflow automation. However, buying a digital product does not automatically make a company more efficient.

A standard CRM might offer dozens of features while missing the few that a particular business genuinely needs. An automated reporting tool may still require employees to enter the same information repeatedly. An AI application may sound impressive without delivering a useful business outcome.

Shubham Sanjaysinh Rajput and Dev Virendrakumar Solanki believe the real opportunity lies in designing technology around a company’s actual operations.

Through Y2WAY Universal Consultancy, they aim to connect technical implementation with process understanding, usability and commercial value.

Their work emphasizes asking fundamental questions: Which activities are repetitive? Where is information getting lost? Which decisions need better data? What can be simplified before it is automated?

Answering those questions helps determine whether the solution requires a new application, a customized algorithm, integrated software or a redesigned workflow.

What Makes Y2WAY’s Optimization Approach Different?

A central area of interest for Y2WAY Universal Consultancy is algorithmic optimization—designing logical systems that perform useful tasks while reducing unnecessary steps.

An algorithm does not have to be a mysterious black box. In practical business applications, it may determine how information moves between departments, how records are organized, how exceptions are flagged or when users should receive an alert.

The founders’ approach combines such logic with artificial intelligence where it adds value.

For an industrial setting, this could involve examining production data, machine activity or operational patterns. In customer-facing businesses, it could mean improving membership records, billing, inventory control and follow-up processes.

Computer vision and IoT systems can introduce additional possibilities, allowing certain physical activities to be translated into useful digital information.

The objective is not automation for its own sake. It is to help organizations operate with fewer unnecessary steps and more timely information.

From Freelance Thinking to a Multidisciplinary Consultancy

The company’s beginnings in freelancing remain relevant to how it approaches projects.

Freelance work requires adaptability because no two client briefs are identical. Over time, Shubham Sanjaysinh Rajput and Dev Virendrakumar Solanki began using that experience to combine development, design, creative strategy and business consulting into one service model.

Y2WAY Universal Consultancy now positions itself across more than 12 industry and solution areas, including manufacturing, industrial IoT, smart automation, CRM technology, healthcare, fitness and wellness, education, retail, hospitality, logistics, financial operations, and marketing and media.

The sectors may appear unrelated, but many share similar underlying problems: disconnected information, repetitive administration, limited visibility and software that does not fit the organization.

This creates opportunities to reuse problem-solving principles while developing solutions specific to each client.

A Commercial Opportunity Built on Real Problems

The transition from freelancers to consultancy founders has also created a broader revenue model based on technology projects, business services and potential long-term client engagements.

Although the founders have not disclosed revenue figures for this story, their reported project volume reflects an expanding delivery portfolio.

For Shubham Sanjaysinh Rajput and Dev Virendrakumar Solanki, the larger ambition is to help Indian enterprises see automation as a practical business investment rather than an intimidating technological shift.

The founders envision a future in which software can be customized more intelligently and small and medium businesses can make better use of tools once associated primarily with larger corporations.

Whether that vision becomes a major force in India’s AI industry will depend on future execution and measurable client outcomes.

But the principle behind Y2WAY Universal Consultancy is worth examining: sometimes the smartest innovation is not adding another tool, but making the entire system work better.

Made in Delhi, Worn Around the World: How Corset Vogue Grew from a Setback

Some of the most interesting brands are born in difficult moments. Corset Vogue is one of them.Its story begins not in a boardroom, but with a corset designer named Ravinder Singh who suddenly found himself out of work, in an industry where jobs were almost impossible to find.

A Rare Skill in a Small Industry

Corset making is a specialised craft. It takes precise pattern work, the right materials and a deep understanding of how structure meets the body. Ravinder had built that knowledge over years as a corset designer.

The problem was that India had very few corset manufacturers. When he lost his job, there was simply nowhere else to take his skills. The industry was too small to absorb him.

So he stopped looking for a place in it and decided to make one.

The First Machine

In 2021, Ravinder started Corset Vogue in Delhi with one second-hand sewing machine. It was a modest start, but it was enough to make the kind of corsets he believed in: steel boned, carefully shaped and built to last.

Word spread through customers who loved the fit. The collection grew to include steampunk corsets with a Victorian, industrial feel, gothic corsets for lovers of dark fashion, versatile underbust corsets, bold overbust corsets and elegant corset dresses.

Crossing Borders

As the quality became known, a new kind of customer arrived: international brands.

Today, Corset Vogue manufactures and exports corsets for international brands. Designs made in Delhi now travel to customers in other countries under other labels. For a business that began with one used machine, that is a remarkable step, and proof that specialist craftsmanship from India can compete anywhere.

Making Room for the Next Generation

Growing bigger did not make Corset Vogue forget where it came from. The brand saw how hard it was for small boutiques, resellers and new labels to work with manufacturers who demanded huge orders.

So Corset Vogue keeps its minimum order quantity at just 20 pieces, with very reasonable prices. Whether it is a brand abroad testing a new line or a boutique in India adding corsets for the first time, the door is open to start small.

It is the same principle Ravinder built his own business on: take the first practical step, and grow from there.

What Comes Next

Corset Vogue now runs on three tracks: its own online store for customers across India, wholesale for resellers and boutiques, and manufacturing and export for international brands. The goal ahead is to take the Corset Vogue name itself to corset lovers worldwide.

Nutri Activania Expands Focus on Women’s Nutrition, from PCOS to Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Nutri Activania, the Saket clinic founded in 2018 by Delhi-based dietician Avni Kaul, is strengthening its support for women’s health. Women’s health is a subject close to Avni Kaul’s heart, and as a hormone-focused nutritionist she now offers dedicated guidance for PCOS, endometriosis, PMS, fertility, perimenopause, menopause, pregnancy, postnatal recovery and lactation.

With PCOS increasingly common among Indian women, the clinic’s PCOS nutrition support focuses on meal structure, appetite, protein, fibre, energy and weight-related goals. Plans also take in sleep, stress, water intake and physical activity, all of which influence hormonal health. The guidance is designed to complement care from a woman’s gynaecologist or endocrinologist rather than replace diagnosis or treatment.

“Women often come to us after being handed a one-page diet sheet and told to lose weight,” said Avni Kaul, a dietician for PCOS in Delhi and Founder of Nutri Activania. “Hormones affect appetite, energy and mood, and PCOS, pregnancy and menopause each change what the body needs. A plan has to respect that, and it has to be something a busy woman can realistically follow. My goal is to give women the tools to take charge of their hormonal health through nutrition, rest, movement, self-care and a positive outlook.”

For women planning a family, the clinic offers pre-conception and fertility-related nutrition guidance, always alongside their doctor. For expectant and new mothers, its pre and postnatal nutrition programme covers dietary needs during pregnancy, postpartum recovery diets, breastfeeding and infant feeding, coordinated with the client’s obstetric and healthcare team. Avni Kaul is a Certified Lactation Counsellor (NHS, UK) with extensive training in maternal health and baby foods, and partners and family members are welcome to join sessions. Nutri Activania’s website also offers a free pregnancy weight gain calculator as a general starting-point tool.

Avni Kaul brings 12 years of practice, including her former role as a Dietician and Diabetes Educator in the Endocrinology Department at Max Hospital, where hormonal and metabolic conditions were central to daily care. She holds B.Sc. and M.Sc. qualifications in Food and Nutrition from the University of Delhi and was a Gold Medallist at Lady Irwin College.

Consultations are deliberately judgment-free, with every plan built around the woman’s routine, food preferences and emotional wellbeing. Support for thyroid management, which frequently overlaps with women’s hormonal concerns, and nutritional guidance for women prescribed GLP-1 agonist medications are also available, both in person and online.

About Nutri Activania

 Founded in 2018 by dietician Avni Kaul, Nutri Activania is a Saket, New Delhi nutrition clinic providing evidence-based, personalised nutrition for women’s hormonal health, pregnancy and lactation, weight management and lifestyle conditions, in person and online across India.

 

The Lyricist with an M.Sc.: How Mohkam Singh is Rewriting the Rules of Punjabi Pop

In an industry driven by basslines and viral dance challenges, it is easy to forget that every hit begins with a blank page and a sharp pen. Even rarer is finding that pen in the hands of an international corporate strategist. Meet Mohkam Singh—the UK-based lyricist proving that global management credentials and grassroots Punjabi rhythm are not mutually exclusive.

Born in Punjab in 1996 and an alumnus of Guru Nanak Dev University, Singh spent over five years managing corporate development at Gocool International before moving to Britain to earn his Master's in International Business Management. That corporate discipline now shapes his creative workflow: while many view songwriting as purely spontaneous, Singh approaches the craft with architectural precision, tailoring cadence, vernacular slang, and thematic hooks to the algorithmic realities of global streaming platforms.

His creative breakthrough arrived through a string of independent label hits that quickly caught fire across regional airwaves. Tracks like the 2023 singles "Dashboard" and "Overdose" established his ear for club-ready pacing, but it was 2024's "BP High" (sung by J Attri under B Music) that cemented his reputation, picking up major nominations at both the PTC Punjabi Music Awards and the BritAsia TV Music Awards. Rather than sticking to a single formula, Singh pivoted in 2025 to romantic folk-fusion with "Jhanjra" (sung by

Deepkamal for HA Records), earning critical nods at the Mirchi Music Awards Punjabi for its seamless blend of heritage imagery and modern banter.

By early 2026, Singh's cross-border versatility showed no signs of slowing, as his club anthem "Ghunt Ghunt" alongside Meet Bhuker and Preet Mohit racked up an honors nomination at the Global Punjabi Media & Music Honors. Dividing his time between boardrooms, international transit hubs, and studio soundboards, Mohkam Singh embodies the modern Punjabi polymath—grounded in cultural storytelling, built for a global audience.

From Slum Lanes to a National Vision: Mangan Thomas Rijoy Introduces Desiya Suraksha Party

Chennai, India | October 8, 2026

Desiya Suraksha Party emerges from five years of grassroots work through the Secure Our City campaign, with a focus on safety, housing, education and healthcare.

“Why should a woman feel unsafe in her own street?” This question became the starting point of Secure Our City, a community safety campaign initiated by Mangan Thomas Rijoy (MTR), President of Desiya Suraksha Party (DSP)

According to the campaign's account, the initiative began in Chennai five years ago with a commitment to provide 10,000 free CCTV cameras in selected Indian cities. Working without NGO backing, corporate funding or political support, the campaign reports that it has helped secure 5,000 houses in Chennai's slum communities.

However, years of working closely with residents led MTR to reconsider what safety means for families facing economic hardship.

Living and interacting with communities helped bring wider challenges into focus, including inadequate housing, access to food, healthcare, clothing and education. The experience shaped a broader vision that extends beyond surveillance and neighbourhood security

“A camera cannot secure a hungry stomach. A camera cannot secure a homeless family,” MTR said, describing the thinking behind the next phase of his work

This experience eventually led to the formation of Desiya Suraksha Party (DSP), a political initiative intended, according to its stated mission, to raise questions about public accountability, resource distribution and the living conditions of ordinary citizens.

 

Desiya Suraksha Party's Key Prioritie

DSP has outlined five principal commitments in its proposed social agenda

Housing for every family: A minimum 500-square-foot home for every Indian family.

Dignity and basic necessities: Access to good-quality clothing and essential living conditions.

Free education and healthcare: Education and medical services at international standards, provided free of charge.

A future for every child: A home, family environment and future for children without parental care, with the state acting as guardian where necessary.

Safety for women and children: Recognition of personal safety as a fundamental right rather than merely a government scheme.

These commitments represent the party's stated policy vision. Their implementation would require detailed plans covering funding, administration, eligibility and delivery.

 

A Campaign with a Wider Purpose

The Secure Our City initiative was originally intended to establish a community safety model that could later expand through SecureCam India and potential corporate social responsibility (CSR) funding.

DSP now says the campaign will continue alongside its broader social agenda. Following its first Maanadu, scheduled for December 10, 2026, in Chennai, the party plans to expand the initiative across India.

The campaign also proposes security audits for homes and buildings, with a minimum security guarantee. Further details on implementation and coverage are expected to clarify how this proposal would operate.

 

Beginning in Tamil Nadu and Kerala

 

DSP has identified Tamil Nadu and Kerala as the starting points for its next phase. MTR has invited people interested in community safety and social welfare to learn about the party and its stated objectives.

The party's central message is that public safety involves more than preventing crime. It also encompasses access to shelter, healthcare, education and dignified living conditions.

As DSP prepares for its December gathering, the transition from a neighbourhood CCTV campaign to a broader political platform marks a new stage in MTR's stated public-service journey.

Desiya Suraksha Party (DSP) is led by President Mangan Thomas Rijoy (MTR). Its stated priorities include community safety, housing, education, healthcare, child welfare and public accountability.

Mumbai, October 4: Desi WarriorZ, one of the most popular and talked-about teams of the YANA Table Tennis League, has stormed into the semi-finals, turning the tremendous buzz around the team into a powerful run on the table.

From making waves at the auction to emerging as one of the league’s biggest crowd-pullers, Desi WarriorZ has carried a distinct energy throughout the tournament. With a place in the final four, the team now finds itself within touching distance of the championship.

Owned by Rajveer Singh, with Anjuri Sinha as Partner, Desi WarriorZ has an unusual story behind its success. Neither comes from a table-tennis playing background, yet together they built a competitive squad and created a franchise identity that became hugely popular even before the first ball was played.

The credit on the table, however, belongs to the Desi WarriorZ players, who have delivered under pressure and carried the team into the semi-finals.

Founded by Krishna Kotian, the YANA Table Tennis League brings the sporting community together while supporting the important cause of Breast Cancer Awareness.

For Desi WarriorZ, what started at the auction table has now reached the final four.

The popularity created the buzz. The players delivered the performance. And now, Desi WarriorZ are in the semi-finals.

From Auction to the Final Four — Desi WarriorZ Are Coming for the Crown.

ISL সম্প্রচারে বড় বদল, YouTube-এর পাশাপাশি Sony Sports-এও দেখা যাবে ম্যাচ
*খেলা*
*স্পোর্টস ডেস্ক, কলকাতা:* ১০ অক্টোবর, মহালয়ার দিন থেকে শুরু হচ্ছে ISL। গতবার সিঙ্গেল লিগ হলেও এবার হোম-অ্যাওয়ে ফর্ম্যাটে দুই লিগে হবে টুর্নামেন্ট। চলবে ২০২৭ সালের মে মাস পর্যন্ত। অংশ নিচ্ছে ১৩টি দল - ইস্টবেঙ্গল, মোহনবাগান সুপার জায়ান্ট, বেঙ্গালুরু এফসি, কেরালা ব্লাস্টার্স, এফসি গোয়া, মুম্বই সিটি এফসি, নর্থ ইস্ট ইউনাইটেড, ওডিশা এফসি, পাঞ্জাব এফসি, ইন্টার কাশী, চেন্নাইয়িন এফসি, চার্চিল ব্রাদার্স ও স্পোর্টস ক্লাব দিল্লি। জামশেদপুর এফসি নাম তুলে নেওয়ায় তাদের লাইসেন্সে খেলবে চার্চিল। ডায়মন্ড হারবার এফসি যোগ্যতা অর্জন করেও পার্টিসিপেশন ফি জমা দিতে পারেনি। প্লে-অফ মিলিয়ে মোট ১৬৩টি ম্যাচ হবে।

এবার ISL-এর আয়োজক ক্লাবগুলি নিজেরাই। ফলে সম্প্রচার নিয়ে ছিল জল্পনা। Khel Now-এ প্রকাশিত রিপোর্ট অনুযায়ী, এবার ISL দেখা যাবে দুটি প্ল্যাটফর্মে। YouTube-এ স্ট্রিমিংয়ের পাশাপাশি স্যাটেলাইট টিভি রাইটস পেতে চলেছে Sony Sports Network।  রিপোর্টে দাবি, Sony-কে রাইটস দেওয়ার বিষয়ে সব পক্ষ রাজি, শুধু চূড়ান্ত কাগজপত্র বাকি। প্রথমে Zee-র নাম শোনা গেলেও তা বাতিল হয়েছে।

অতীতে Star Sports এবং Hotstar-এ দেখানো হতো ISL, গত বছর দেখানো হয়েছিল FanCode-এ। রিপোর্ট বলছে, বেশিরভাগ ক্লাব বেশি দর্শকের কাছে পৌঁছতে YouTube-এর পক্ষে, আবার কিছু ক্লাব স্পনসরশিপের কারণে প্রথাগত টিভি সম্প্রচার চাইছে। তাই দুই পথেই হাঁটার সিদ্ধান্ত।

ভারতীয় ফুটবলে Sony Sports দীর্ঘদিন ধরেই রয়েছে, ইউরোপের একাধিক লিগ ও সম্প্রতি ডুরান্ড কাপও তারাই সম্প্রচার করেছে। অন্যদিকে YouTube-ও ইতিমধ্যেই প্রাইম ভলিবল লিগ ও তামিলনাড়ু প্রিমিয়ার লিগ দেখাচ্ছে।

Made in Delhi, Worn Around the World: How Corset Vogue Grew from a Setback

Some of the most interesting brands are born in difficult moments. Corset Vogue is one of them.Its story begins not in a boardroom, but with a corset designer named Ravinder Singh who suddenly found himself out of work, in an industry where jobs were almost impossible to find.

A Rare Skill in a Small Industry

Corset making is a specialised craft. It takes precise pattern work, the right materials and a deep understanding of how structure meets the body. Ravinder had built that knowledge over years as a corset designer.

The problem was that India had very few corset manufacturers. When he lost his job, there was simply nowhere else to take his skills. The industry was too small to absorb him.

So he stopped looking for a place in it and decided to make one.

The First Machine

In 2021, Ravinder started Corset Vogue in Delhi with one second-hand sewing machine. It was a modest start, but it was enough to make the kind of corsets he believed in: steel boned, carefully shaped and built to last.

Word spread through customers who loved the fit. The collection grew to include steampunk corsets with a Victorian, industrial feel, gothic corsets for lovers of dark fashion, versatile underbust corsets, bold overbust corsets and elegant corset dresses.

Crossing Borders

As the quality became known, a new kind of customer arrived: international brands.

Today, Corset Vogue manufactures and exports corsets for international brands. Designs made in Delhi now travel to customers in other countries under other labels. For a business that began with one used machine, that is a remarkable step, and proof that specialist craftsmanship from India can compete anywhere.

Making Room for the Next Generation

Growing bigger did not make Corset Vogue forget where it came from. The brand saw how hard it was for small boutiques, resellers and new labels to work with manufacturers who demanded huge orders.

So Corset Vogue keeps its minimum order quantity at just 20 pieces, with very reasonable prices. Whether it is a brand abroad testing a new line or a boutique in India adding corsets for the first time, the door is open to start small.

It is the same principle Ravinder built his own business on: take the first practical step, and grow from there.

What Comes Next

Corset Vogue now runs on three tracks: its own online store for customers across India, wholesale for resellers and boutiques, and manufacturing and export for international brands. The goal ahead is to take the Corset Vogue name itself to corset lovers worldwide.

Made in Delhi, Worn Around the World: How Corset Vogue Grew from a Setback

Some of the most interesting brands are born in difficult moments. Corset Vogue is one of them.Its story begins not in a boardroom, but with a corset designer named Ravinder Singh who suddenly found himself out of work, in an industry where jobs were almost impossible to find.

A Rare Skill in a Small Industry

Corset making is a specialised craft. It takes precise pattern work, the right materials and a deep understanding of how structure meets the body. Ravinder had built that knowledge over years as a corset designer.

The problem was that India had very few corset manufacturers. When he lost his job, there was simply nowhere else to take his skills. The industry was too small to absorb him.

So he stopped looking for a place in it and decided to make one.

Nutri Activania Expands Focus on Women’s Nutrition, from PCOS to Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Nutri Activania, the Saket clinic founded in 2018 by Delhi-based dietician Avni Kaul, is strengthening its support for women’s health. Women’s health is a subject close to Avni Kaul’s heart, and as a hormone-focused nutritionist she now offers dedicated guidance for PCOS, endometriosis, PMS, fertility, perimenopause, menopause, pregnancy, postnatal recovery and lactation.

With PCOS increasingly common among Indian women, the clinic’s PCOS nutrition support focuses on meal structure, appetite, protein, fibre, energy and weight-related goals. Plans also take in sleep, stress, water intake and physical activity, all of which influence hormonal health. The guidance is designed to complement care from a woman’s gynaecologist or endocrinologist rather than replace diagnosis or treatment.

“Women often come to us after being handed a one-page diet sheet and told to lose weight,” said Avni Kaul, a dietician for PCOS in Delhi and Founder of Nutri Activania. “Hormones affect appetite, energy and mood, and PCOS, pregnancy and menopause each change what the body needs. A plan has to respect that, and it has to be something a busy woman can realistically follow. My goal is to give women the tools to take charge of their hormonal health through nutrition, rest, movement, self-care and a positive outlook.”

For women planning a family, the clinic offers pre-conception and fertility-related nutrition guidance, always alongside their doctor. For expectant and new mothers, its pre and postnatal nutrition programme covers dietary needs during pregnancy, postpartum recovery diets, breastfeeding and infant feeding, coordinated with the client’s obstetric and healthcare team. Avni Kaul is a Certified Lactation Counsellor (NHS, UK) with extensive training in maternal health and baby foods, and partners and family members are welcome to join sessions. Nutri Activania’s website also offers a free pregnancy weight gain calculator as a general starting-point tool.

Avni Kaul brings 12 years of practice, including her former role as a Dietician and Diabetes Educator in the Endocrinology Department at Max Hospital, where hormonal and metabolic conditions were central to daily care. She holds B.Sc. and M.Sc. qualifications in Food and Nutrition from the University of Delhi and was a Gold Medallist at Lady Irwin College.

Consultations are deliberately judgment-free, with every plan built around the woman’s routine, food preferences and emotional wellbeing. Support for thyroid management, which frequently overlaps with women’s hormonal concerns, and nutritional guidance for women prescribed GLP-1 agonist medications are also available, both in person and online.

About Nutri Activania

 Founded in 2018 by dietician Avni Kaul, Nutri Activania is a Saket, New Delhi nutrition clinic providing evidence-based, personalised nutrition for women’s hormonal health, pregnancy and lactation, weight management and lifestyle conditions, in person and online across India.

 

The Lyricist with an M.Sc.: How Mohkam Singh is Rewriting the Rules of Punjabi Pop

In an industry driven by basslines and viral dance challenges, it is easy to forget that every hit begins with a blank page and a sharp pen. Even rarer is finding that pen in the hands of an international corporate strategist. Meet Mohkam Singh—the UK-based lyricist proving that global management credentials and grassroots Punjabi rhythm are not mutually exclusive.

Born in Punjab in 1996 and an alumnus of Guru Nanak Dev University, Singh spent over five years managing corporate development at Gocool International before moving to Britain to earn his Master's in International Business Management. That corporate discipline now shapes his creative workflow: while many view songwriting as purely spontaneous, Singh approaches the craft with architectural precision, tailoring cadence, vernacular slang, and thematic hooks to the algorithmic realities of global streaming platforms.

His creative breakthrough arrived through a string of independent label hits that quickly caught fire across regional airwaves. Tracks like the 2023 singles "Dashboard" and "Overdose" established his ear for club-ready pacing, but it was 2024's "BP High" (sung by J Attri under B Music) that cemented his reputation, picking up major nominations at both the PTC Punjabi Music Awards and the BritAsia TV Music Awards. Rather than sticking to a single formula, Singh pivoted in 2025 to romantic folk-fusion with "Jhanjra" (sung by

Deepkamal for HA Records), earning critical nods at the Mirchi Music Awards Punjabi for its seamless blend of heritage imagery and modern banter.

By early 2026, Singh's cross-border versatility showed no signs of slowing, as his club anthem "Ghunt Ghunt" alongside Meet Bhuker and Preet Mohit racked up an honors nomination at the Global Punjabi Media & Music Honors. Dividing his time between boardrooms, international transit hubs, and studio soundboards, Mohkam Singh embodies the modern Punjabi polymath—grounded in cultural storytelling, built for a global audience.

From Slum Lanes to a National Vision: Mangan Thomas Rijoy Introduces Desiya Suraksha Party

Chennai, India | October 8, 2026

Desiya Suraksha Party emerges from five years of grassroots work through the Secure Our City campaign, with a focus on safety, housing, education and healthcare.

“Why should a woman feel unsafe in her own street?” This question became the starting point of Secure Our City, a community safety campaign initiated by Mangan Thomas Rijoy (MTR), President of Desiya Suraksha Party (DSP)

According to the campaign's account, the initiative began in Chennai five years ago with a commitment to provide 10,000 free CCTV cameras in selected Indian cities. Working without NGO backing, corporate funding or political support, the campaign reports that it has helped secure 5,000 houses in Chennai's slum communities.

However, years of working closely with residents led MTR to reconsider what safety means for families facing economic hardship.

Living and interacting with communities helped bring wider challenges into focus, including inadequate housing, access to food, healthcare, clothing and education. The experience shaped a broader vision that extends beyond surveillance and neighbourhood security

“A camera cannot secure a hungry stomach. A camera cannot secure a homeless family,” MTR said, describing the thinking behind the next phase of his work

This experience eventually led to the formation of Desiya Suraksha Party (DSP), a political initiative intended, according to its stated mission, to raise questions about public accountability, resource distribution and the living conditions of ordinary citizens.

 

Desiya Suraksha Party's Key Prioritie

DSP has outlined five principal commitments in its proposed social agenda

Housing for every family: A minimum 500-square-foot home for every Indian family.

Dignity and basic necessities: Access to good-quality clothing and essential living conditions.

Free education and healthcare: Education and medical services at international standards, provided free of charge.

A future for every child: A home, family environment and future for children without parental care, with the state acting as guardian where necessary.

Safety for women and children: Recognition of personal safety as a fundamental right rather than merely a government scheme.

These commitments represent the party's stated policy vision. Their implementation would require detailed plans covering funding, administration, eligibility and delivery.

 

A Campaign with a Wider Purpose

The Secure Our City initiative was originally intended to establish a community safety model that could later expand through SecureCam India and potential corporate social responsibility (CSR) funding.

DSP now says the campaign will continue alongside its broader social agenda. Following its first Maanadu, scheduled for December 10, 2026, in Chennai, the party plans to expand the initiative across India.

The campaign also proposes security audits for homes and buildings, with a minimum security guarantee. Further details on implementation and coverage are expected to clarify how this proposal would operate.

 

Beginning in Tamil Nadu and Kerala

 

DSP has identified Tamil Nadu and Kerala as the starting points for its next phase. MTR has invited people interested in community safety and social welfare to learn about the party and its stated objectives.

The party's central message is that public safety involves more than preventing crime. It also encompasses access to shelter, healthcare, education and dignified living conditions.

As DSP prepares for its December gathering, the transition from a neighbourhood CCTV campaign to a broader political platform marks a new stage in MTR's stated public-service journey.

Desiya Suraksha Party (DSP) is led by President Mangan Thomas Rijoy (MTR). Its stated priorities include community safety, housing, education, healthcare, child welfare and public accountability.

YANA League’s Most Popular Team Desi WarriorZ Storms Into Semi-Finals, Eyes Historic Championship

Mumbai, October 4: Desi WarriorZ, one of the most popular and talked-about teams of the YANA Table Tennis League, has stormed into the semi-finals, turning the tremendous buzz around the team into a powerful run on the table.

From making waves at the auction to emerging as one of the league’s biggest crowd-pullers, Desi WarriorZ has carried a distinct energy throughout the tournament. With a place in the final four, the team now finds itself within touching distance of the championship.

Owned by Rajveer Singh, with Anjuri Sinha as Partner, Desi WarriorZ has an unusual story behind its success. Neither comes from a table-tennis playing background, yet together they built a competitive squad and created a franchise identity that became hugely popular even before the first ball was played.

The credit on the table, however, belongs to the Desi WarriorZ players, who have delivered under pressure and carried the team into the semi-finals.

Founded by Krishna Kotian, the YANA Table Tennis League brings the sporting community together while supporting the important cause of Breast Cancer Awareness.

For Desi WarriorZ, what started at the auction table has now reached the final four.

The popularity created the buzz. The players delivered the performance. And now, Desi WarriorZ are in the semi-finals.

From Auction to the Final Four — Desi WarriorZ Are Coming for the Crown.

ISL সম্প্রচারে বড় বদল, YouTube-এর পাশাপাশি Sony Sports-এও দেখা যাবে ম্যাচ
*খেলা*
*স্পোর্টস ডেস্ক, কলকাতা:* ১০ অক্টোবর, মহালয়ার দিন থেকে শুরু হচ্ছে ISL। গতবার সিঙ্গেল লিগ হলেও এবার হোম-অ্যাওয়ে ফর্ম্যাটে দুই লিগে হবে টুর্নামেন্ট। চলবে ২০২৭ সালের মে মাস পর্যন্ত। অংশ নিচ্ছে ১৩টি দল - ইস্টবেঙ্গল, মোহনবাগান সুপার জায়ান্ট, বেঙ্গালুরু এফসি, কেরালা ব্লাস্টার্স, এফসি গোয়া, মুম্বই সিটি এফসি, নর্থ ইস্ট ইউনাইটেড, ওডিশা এফসি, পাঞ্জাব এফসি, ইন্টার কাশী, চেন্নাইয়িন এফসি, চার্চিল ব্রাদার্স ও স্পোর্টস ক্লাব দিল্লি। জামশেদপুর এফসি নাম তুলে নেওয়ায় তাদের লাইসেন্সে খেলবে চার্চিল। ডায়মন্ড হারবার এফসি যোগ্যতা অর্জন করেও পার্টিসিপেশন ফি জমা দিতে পারেনি। প্লে-অফ মিলিয়ে মোট ১৬৩টি ম্যাচ হবে।

এবার ISL-এর আয়োজক ক্লাবগুলি নিজেরাই। ফলে সম্প্রচার নিয়ে ছিল জল্পনা। Khel Now-এ প্রকাশিত রিপোর্ট অনুযায়ী, এবার ISL দেখা যাবে দুটি প্ল্যাটফর্মে। YouTube-এ স্ট্রিমিংয়ের পাশাপাশি স্যাটেলাইট টিভি রাইটস পেতে চলেছে Sony Sports Network।  রিপোর্টে দাবি, Sony-কে রাইটস দেওয়ার বিষয়ে সব পক্ষ রাজি, শুধু চূড়ান্ত কাগজপত্র বাকি। প্রথমে Zee-র নাম শোনা গেলেও তা বাতিল হয়েছে।

অতীতে Star Sports এবং Hotstar-এ দেখানো হতো ISL, গত বছর দেখানো হয়েছিল FanCode-এ। রিপোর্ট বলছে, বেশিরভাগ ক্লাব বেশি দর্শকের কাছে পৌঁছতে YouTube-এর পক্ষে, আবার কিছু ক্লাব স্পনসরশিপের কারণে প্রথাগত টিভি সম্প্রচার চাইছে। তাই দুই পথেই হাঁটার সিদ্ধান্ত।

ভারতীয় ফুটবলে Sony Sports দীর্ঘদিন ধরেই রয়েছে, ইউরোপের একাধিক লিগ ও সম্প্রতি ডুরান্ড কাপও তারাই সম্প্রচার করেছে। অন্যদিকে YouTube-ও ইতিমধ্যেই প্রাইম ভলিবল লিগ ও তামিলনাড়ু প্রিমিয়ার লিগ দেখাচ্ছে।
