How Karma, Kundali and Living Spaces Are Connected – Insights by Vastu Vid Rahul Parse
Ancient Indian knowledge systems never viewed human life as isolated from nature, space, or cosmic energies. Astrology and Vastu Shastra were developed as interconnected sciences based upon Karma, Prarabdh (destined karmic results), planetary influences, and environmental energies. While modern science may use different terminology, the underlying principle remains similar — every action creates an energetic impact, and every environment influences human life.According to ancient philosophy, birth itself is not accidental. A soul takes birth under specific planetary alignments based upon accumulated karmas from previous lives. This planetary arrangement becomes the individual’s birth chart or Kundali, which acts like an energetic blueprint of life tendencies, strengths, challenges, health patterns, relationships, and psychological behavior.
Vastu Shastra, on the other hand, governs the external energy field in which a person lives or works. If Astrology represents the “inner cosmic design,” then Vastu represents the “outer environmental reflection” of that design.
One of the most fascinating observations made by experienced Vastu and Astrology practitioners is that defects repeatedly appear in those directions of a property that are connected with afflicted planetary energies in the Kundali. This creates a strong philosophical and practical connection between human consciousness and living space.
For example, in many cases where severe Pitru Dosha, afflicted Rahu, or karmic ancestral disturbances are observed in the horoscope, the South-West zone of the house or commercial property is often found imbalanced. This may appear as cuts, missing corners, heavy defects, underground water tanks, toilets, clutter, depression in level, cracks, or structural instability in that particular direction.
From a Vastu perspective, the South-West direction represents stability, ancestral energy, control, maturity, and karmic grounding. Scientifically, this can also be interpreted psychologically and environmentally. Disturbed spaces create disturbed emotional patterns. Continuous exposure to imbalance in important zones of a property can subconsciously influence decision-making, stress levels, emotional security, and family harmony.
Similarly, repeated defects in the North-East zone are frequently observed in individuals facing confusion, spiritual blockage, emotional instability, or poor clarity in life direction. Afflictions related to Jupiter, Moon, or Ketu often symbolically reflect through this zone. The East relates to growth and social opportunities, while the North governs financial movement and mental flow.
This does not necessarily mean that planets physically damage buildings. Rather, ancient sciences suggest resonance between human karmic energies and surrounding environments. Just as modern science acknowledges magnetic fields, frequencies, vibrations, and environmental psychology, ancient Vastu observed that spaces absorb and radiate subtle energetic influences over time.
Interestingly, today’s scientific disciplines are slowly moving toward similar understandings. Environmental psychology studies how spaces influence human emotions and behavior. Geopathic stress research studies the effect of underground disturbances on health and mental peace. Electromagnetic field studies analyze invisible energetic interactions within living environments. Quantum theories also suggest that observation, consciousness, and energy are deeply interconnected.
The digital era has further strengthened this research potential. Satellite mapping, digital compass systems, energy analysis applications, and astronomical software now allow precise correlation between property layouts and astrological patterns. Consultants can scientifically study directional imbalance, land energy, surrounding structures, and planetary influences with greater accuracy than ever before.
However, the true purpose of Astrology and Vastu should not be fear creation. These sciences were originally intended for awareness, balance, and corrective living. Every defect does not destroy life, and every good direction does not guarantee success. Human effort, discipline, ethics, and conscious action remain equally important.
Astrology reveals karmic tendencies. Vastu reflects environmental resonance. Science studies measurable patterns. Together, they form a deeper understanding of how human life interacts with both visible and invisible energies.
The future of these ancient sciences lies not in blind belief, but in responsible research, practical observation, and scientific interpretation. When understood correctly, Astrology and Vastu are not against science — they are complementary systems attempting to understand the same universal intelligence through different dimensions.

VIWA Cables Sets Two-Year Roadmap Toward IPO Readiness


Nashik, Maharashtra — May 18, 2026 — VIWA Cables Pvt. Ltd., a Nashik-based wires and cables company, has announced its plan to work toward an Initial Public Offering (IPO) within the next two years, subject to business performance, market conditions, statutory requirements, and regulatory approvals.The company is preparing this roadmap as part of its long-term growth strategy. The focus will be on strengthening manufacturing capacity, improving internal systems, expanding distribution, building stronger financial discipline, and preparing the company for public market standards.
VIWA Cables currently offers wires and cables for residential, agricultural, commercial, and industrial use. Its product range includes house wires, FRLS wires, HRFR wires, ZHFR wires, LAN cables, CCTV cables, telephone cables, submersible cables, solar cables, industrial cables, flexible cables, armoured and unarmoured cables, welding cables, communication cables, automotive cables, and fire survival cables.
A Long-Term Step For A Growing Brand
The proposed IPO roadmap is not only about raising public capital. For VIWA Cables, it is also about building stronger governance, clearer reporting systems, better operational discipline, and a wider market presence.
The company believes that the Indian wires and cables sector has strong long-term potential. Demand is rising from housing, commercial construction, agriculture, industrial projects, solar installations, data networks, and infrastructure development.
VIWA Cables wants to prepare itself for this opportunity with a structured and responsible growth plan.
Preparing The Business Before Entering Public Markets
Over the next two years, VIWA Cables plans to focus on key business areas important before any public listing step. These include production capacity, quality control, dealer and distributor growth, product availability, brand visibility, financial reporting, compliance systems, and leadership depth.
The company also plans to strengthen its connection with electricians, contractors, retailers, builders, and project buyers. These groups play an important role in the wires and cables market because product trust is built through daily use, field performance, and consistent supply.
Founder-Led Vision For IPO Readiness
VIWA Cables has identified Mr. Amol Kadu as its Founder and Managing Director in public communication. Public company records also list Amol Chandrakant Kadu and Urmila Amol Kadu as directors of VIWA Cables Private Limited.
Speaking on the company’s IPO roadmap, Mr. Amol Kadu, Founder and Managing Director of VIWA Cables Pvt. Ltd., said:
“An IPO is a serious milestone for any company. For us, the next two years will be about preparation, discipline, and building the right foundation. We want to grow in a way that is responsible, transparent, and useful for our customers, dealers, electricians, and future stakeholders.”
He added:
“VIWA Cables is being built with a long-term view. Our aim is not only to enter more markets, but to build a company that earns trust through product quality, safe wiring solutions, and consistent business practices.”
Focus On Systems, Scale, And Trust
As part of the IPO preparation roadmap, VIWA Cables plans to invest in better business systems and stronger internal controls. The company wants to bring more structure into production planning, inventory management, distribution support, finance, documentation, and customer service.
This step is expected to help the company move from early growth to a more organised expansion phase.
For a wires and cables company, trust is built slowly. Electricians need dependable products. Dealers need consistent supply. Customers need safety. Builders and contractors need cables that perform well across different conditions. VIWA Cables plans to keep these practical needs at the centre of its growth.
Regulatory And Market Conditions Will Guide The Timeline
The company has made it clear that the IPO plan will depend on market conditions, company readiness, financial performance, and applicable regulatory requirements. In India, public market activity is regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), and listing processes require detailed disclosures, due diligence, and compliance steps.
VIWA Cables will evaluate the right timing, structure, and platform for a future public issue after completing the required preparation stages.
Expanding From Nashik To Wider Indian Markets
VIWA Cables is based in Nashik, Maharashtra, and is working to build its presence across wider Indian markets. Public distributor listings show that the company has been looking to appoint distributors for its wires and cables products across multiple regions.
The proposed IPO roadmap is expected to support this wider vision by helping the company become more structured, scalable, and visible in the electrical products industry.
A Step Toward Institutional Growth
VIWA Cables sees the next two years as an important period in its journey. The company wants to move carefully, strengthen its base, and prepare for a future where it can operate with higher transparency and stronger market confidence.
The IPO roadmap reflects this larger ambition. It is a step toward institutional growth, but the company plans to stay grounded in the same areas that matter most: quality, safety, reliability, and long-term relationships.

बीजेपी की वाशिंग मशीन में धुल जाते हैं भ्रष्टाचारी - सम्भल में कांग्रेस का योगी सरकार पर बड़ा हमला, भाजपा नेताओं की संपत्तियों की हो जांच


 
 
  Sambhal । सम्भल में कांग्रेस ने योगी सरकार के खिलाफ भ्रष्टाचार, महंगाई और कानून व्यवस्था को लेकर जोरदार हमला बोला। जिला कांग्रेस कमेटी की ओर से आयोजित प्रेस कॉन्फ्रेंस में जिलाध्यक्ष आरिफ तुर्की ने आरोप लगाया कि उत्तर प्रदेश में भ्रष्टाचार चरम सीमा पर पहुंच चुका है और सत्ता पक्ष के नेताओं की निष्पक्ष जांच होनी चाहिए।
  

  
आरिफ तुर्की ने कहा कि बीजेपी सरकार भले ही “ज़ीरो टॉलरेंस” की बात करती हो, लेकिन हकीकत इससे बिल्कुल अलग है। उन्होंने दावा किया कि बीजेपी के ही कई विधायक अपनी सरकार पर भ्रष्टाचार के आरोप लगा चुके हैं। कांग्रेस नेता ने कहा कि जब कोई नेता विपक्ष में होता है तो बीजेपी उसे भ्रष्टाचारी बताती है, लेकिन जैसे ही वह बीजेपी में शामिल हो जाता है, उसके खिलाफ चल रही जांच खत्म हो जाती है। उन्होंने इसे “बीजेपी की वाशिंग मशीन” करार दिया। कांग्रेस ने बढ़ती महंगाई, डीजल के दामों में लगातार बढ़ोतरी और गैस की किल्लत को लेकर भी सरकार को घेरा। आरिफ तुर्की ने मांग की कि बीजेपी नेताओं और उनके परिवारों की 2017 से अब तक की संपत्तियों की उच्च स्तरीय जांच कराई जाए। उन्होंने चेतावनी देते हुए कहा कि अगर सरकार ने मांगों पर ध्यान नहीं दिया तो कांग्रेस संभल की चारों विधानसभाओं में बड़ा आंदोलन और प्रदर्शन करेगी।
 

बसपा को बड़ा झटका : असमोली के मुस्लिम चेहरे फिरोज खान ने थामा चंद्रशेखर आजाद का हाथ


 
 
  संभल । उत्तर प्रदेश की राजनीति में बहुजन समाज पार्टी को उस समय बड़ा झटका लगा, जब असमोली विधानसभा क्षेत्र के सामाजिक कार्यकर्ता और बसपा से जुड़े मोहम्मद फिरोज खान हिंदुस्तानी ने पार्टी छोड़ने का ऐलान कर दिया। उन्होंने बहुजन समाज पार्टी के मंडल और जिला स्तर के पदाधिकारियों पर उत्पीड़न, टिकट के नाम पर धन उगाही और कार्यकर्ताओं की अनदेखी जैसे गंभीर आरोप लगाए। इसके साथ ही उन्होंने आजाद समाज पार्टी (कांशीराम) की सदस्यता ग्रहण कर ली।
  
मोहम्मद फिरोज खान हिंदुस्तानी ने एक विस्तृत बयान जारी करते हुए कहा कि वह लंबे समय से बहुजन समाज पार्टी में सक्रिय रूप से कार्य कर रहे थे और असमोली क्षेत्र में शिक्षा, सामाजिक न्याय और जनहित के मुद्दों को लेकर संघर्ष करते रहे। उन्होंने दावा किया कि वर्ष 2011-12 में मायावती सरकार के दौरान बने राजकीय पॉलिटेक्निक कॉलेज असगरीपुर को बचाने के लिए उन्होंने 14 वर्षों तक संघर्ष किया और अंततः सरकार द्वारा अधूरे कार्यों के लिए धन आवंटित कराया गया।
  
उन्होंने आरोप लगाया कि समाजवादी पार्टी की विधायक पिंकी यादव से सांठगांठ कर बसपा के कुछ जिला और मंडल स्तर के पदाधिकारियों ने उन्हें लगातार पार्टी कार्यक्रमों और बैठकों से दूर रखा। उनका कहना है कि असमोली विधानसभा सीट पर टिकट वितरण में धनबल और राजनीतिक सौदेबाजी का खेल चलता है, जिससे समर्पित कार्यकर्ताओं की अनदेखी होती है।
  
फिरोज खान ने यह भी आरोप लगाया कि बहुजन समाज पार्टी में आम कार्यकर्ताओं की आवाज नहीं सुनी जाती और राष्ट्रीय नेतृत्व तक पहुंचने के लिए भी भारी रकम की मांग की जाती है। उन्होंने दावा किया कि 24 मार्च 2026 को उन्हें मायावती से मिलवाने के नाम पर दो लाख रुपये लिए गए थे।
  
अपने बयान में उन्होंने संभल हिंसा, मुस्लिम समाज से जुड़े मुद्दों, बुलडोजर कार्रवाई, बेरोजगारी, महंगाई और भ्रष्टाचार जैसे विषयों पर भी पार्टी नेतृत्व की चुप्पी पर सवाल उठाए। उन्होंने कहा कि उनकी राजनीति का उद्देश्य दलाली या चापलूसी नहीं, बल्कि शिक्षा, स्वास्थ्य, बिजली, पानी, सड़क, रोजगार और संवैधानिक अधिकारों के लिए संघर्ष करना है।
  
इसके बाद मोहम्मद फिरोज खान हिंदुस्तानी ने नागीना सांसद Chandrashekhar Azad के नेतृत्व में Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) की सदस्यता ग्रहण कर ली। पार्टी जॉइनिंग के दौरान पूर्व आईपीएस अधिकारी अमित वर्मा, प्रदेश अध्यक्ष सुनील चित्तौड़ और अन्य नेता भी मौजूद रहे।
  
फिरोज खान ने कहा कि वर्तमान समय में संविधान, सामाजिक न्याय और भाईचारे की रक्षा के लिए आजाद समाज पार्टी ही मजबूती से संघर्ष कर रही है और वह अब पूरी निष्ठा के साथ पार्टी की नीतियों को जन-जन तक पहुंचाने का कार्य करेंगे।

Inside the Quiet Reinvention of India’s Luxury Wedding Industry


A Gurugram firm is treating weddings not just as events to be executed, but as deeply emotional experiences to be protected, and the rest of the industry is beginning to notice.Most Indian weddings, even the very expensive ones, are still held together by a quiet act of collective faith. Faith that the florist will turn up on time. Faith that the cousin in charge of logistics has actually checked the room blocks. Faith that the groom’s baraat party understands why it’s important to arrive on time.
An industry that delivers ₹3 crore weddings still runs, astonishingly, on WhatsApp groups, paper ledgers and the assumption that things will somehow work out.
Swati Sharma found that gap interesting. Then she found it unacceptable.
But the operational chaos was only part of what she noticed. As she spent more time around weddings, Sharma began seeing something deeper: the emotional exhaustion hidden beneath the glamour. Brides trying to protect their parents from stress while silently carrying their own. Grooms caught between family expectations and wanting the wedding to still feel personal. Mothers staying awake till 3 am worrying about guest lists instead of enjoying one of the biggest milestones of their lives.
For Sharma, weddings stopped feeling like “events” very quickly. They began to feel like emotionally charged life transitions that deserved care, softness and structure in equal measure.
The Role of an Emotional Anchor
“People think wedding planners only manage decor and logistics,” Swati says. “But somewhere along the way, we become emotional anchors. We become the bridge between generations, between the couple and their families, between expectation and reality.”
Sharma is the founder of Saffron Events, the Gurugram-based wedding planning firm she incorporated in December 2021 after more than a decade across marketing and creative roles. In the years since, she has quietly built one of the most talked-about names in Delhi NCR’s premium wedding circuit, planning full-service and destination weddings across India in the ₹50 lakh to ₹3 crore-plus bracket.
The growth has come not from louder marketing, but from a refusal to treat weddings like assembly-line productions.
A Brand Brief Before a Pinterest Board
Walk into most Indian wedding meetings and the first reference shared is a Pinterest board. Walk into a Saffron meeting and you are more likely to be asked how the bride and groom first met. The answer matters because it becomes the brief, and at Saffron, every wedding starts there.
“Decor is just the surface,” Swati says. “The real craft is in the thinking before the decor. When you start with a story instead of a Pinterest board, the entire event begins to feel intentional.”
That single discipline, lifted straight from her marketing background, changes everything downstream. The mandap stops being a Pinterest replica and starts becoming an extension of a memory. The welcome hamper stops being generic gifting and starts saying something about the couple themselves.
The result is a category of wedding production the traditional industry rarely manages consistently: celebrations that feel emotionally art-directed rather than simply assembled.
One recent multi-city celebration unfolded across Kolkata, Singapore, Paris and Delhi, with each city treated as a chapter in the couple’s story rather than four disconnected events.
● Kolkata honoured their roots.
● Singapore represented where their relationship began.
● Paris was intimate and deeply personal.
● Delhi became the culmination.
The themes, dress codes, music and guest experiences shifted from city to city, but the emotional narrative held throughout.
Building Systems To Turn Chaos Into Successful Events
The visible work, Swati says, is actually the easier half. The harder, and far less glamorous, work happens behind the scenes.
Indian wedding planning, even at the luxury end, has historically been resistant to systems. Leads arrive on WhatsApp and disappear in the same place. Vendor payments are tracked manually. Finance management becomes a reactive scramble days before an event. For an industry handling crores per project, the absence of infrastructure has long been accepted as normal.
Sharma did not want Saffron to function on stress and improvisation.
“We never built systems to sound tech-forward,” Swati says. “We built them because families deserve peace of mind. When someone trusts us with one of the biggest moments of their lives, they should not be worrying about missed payments, confused timelines or vendor follow-ups.”
That thinking led Saffron to develop FinTrack+, a finance tracking platform built specifically for Indian event planners, with GST treatment, TDS mechanics, vendor payouts and project-wise profitability integrated into the core.
In parallel, the company also launched Plan with Saffron, a vetted vendor ecosystem featuring a structured Vendor Onboarding process where photographers, decorators, makeup artists, caterers and venues go through evaluation before entering the network.
The CRM is automated. The lead pipeline is streamlined. The backend functions with the precision of an agency rather than the chaos traditionally associated with wedding planning.
But Swati insists the systems were never the destination. They were meant to create emotional breathing room.
“At our core, we are not just consultants,” Swati says. “We are confidants. Sometimes negotiators. Sometimes protectors. Sometimes simply the people a bride calls when she feels overwhelmed and cannot say it out loud to her family.”
The Real Product Is Not the Wedding
With operations running more smoothly behind the scenes, the team’s real focus becomes something harder to quantify: interpretation.
A Saffron onboarding rarely begins with venue options or colour palettes. It begins with long conversations to explore the core of the celebration:
● How did the couple meet?
● Which rituals matter deeply to each side of the family?
● Which traditions can be modernised, and which should remain untouched?
● What does celebration look like for this particular family?
Only then does planning begin. And once it does, every detail becomes intentional: the flow of ceremonies, the regional flavours on the menu, the gifting, the lighting transitions, the music cues, and the emotional rhythm of the evening itself.
For Sharma, personalization is no longer a luxury add-on. It is the entire product. One of her most emotional moments came after a wedding where the bride’s father quietly pulled her aside after the pheras.
"He told me, ‘For the first time in six months, I actually got to sit and watch my daughter get married instead of worrying about what could go wrong.’"
“That stayed with me,” Swati says. “Because that is the real job. Not just creating beautiful weddings, but giving families the chance to truly be present inside them.”
A Different Kind of Wedding Company
What Saffron represents is less a single company and more a larger generational shift within India’s luxury wedding industry: founders with backgrounds in branding and storytelling, operational systems built in-house, and a move away from excess toward intentionality.
For couples planning weddings in Delhi NCR or destination celebrations across India, expectations are quietly changing. Weddings are no longer judged only by scale, but by how personal they feel.
Saffron now offers Full Wedding Planning, Partial Planning, Day-of Coordination, Décor & Styling and Destination Wedding services, along with one-on-one consultations for couples still in the early stages of planning.
But ask Swati what she believes clients remember most, and her answer has very little to do with decor.
“In the end, people rarely remember weddings only for how they looked,” Swati says. “They remember how they felt.”
For many clients, that feeling becomes the defining memory long after the event itself ends.
“We initially hired Saffron for planning and decor,” says a recent bride from Delhi NCR. “But somewhere during the process, they became our safest space. They handled difficult conversations with so much grace, protected our vision without dismissing our parents’ emotions, and somehow made an overwhelming process feel deeply personal. By the wedding day, they didn’t feel like vendors. They felt like family.”
The decor eventually gets archived. The photographs get framed. But the feeling of being understood stays. And perhaps that is what the next generation of luxury wedding planning in India is really becoming: not louder weddings, but more meaningful ones.

How Karma, Kundali and Living Spaces Are Connected – Insights by Vastu Vid Rahul Parse
Ancient Indian knowledge systems never viewed human life as isolated from nature, space, or cosmic energies. Astrology and Vastu Shastra were developed as interconnected sciences based upon Karma, Prarabdh (destined karmic results), planetary influences, and environmental energies. While modern science may use different terminology, the underlying principle remains similar — every action creates an energetic impact, and every environment influences human life.According to ancient philosophy, birth itself is not accidental. A soul takes birth under specific planetary alignments based upon accumulated karmas from previous lives. This planetary arrangement becomes the individual’s birth chart or Kundali, which acts like an energetic blueprint of life tendencies, strengths, challenges, health patterns, relationships, and psychological behavior.
Vastu Shastra, on the other hand, governs the external energy field in which a person lives or works. If Astrology represents the “inner cosmic design,” then Vastu represents the “outer environmental reflection” of that design.
One of the most fascinating observations made by experienced Vastu and Astrology practitioners is that defects repeatedly appear in those directions of a property that are connected with afflicted planetary energies in the Kundali. This creates a strong philosophical and practical connection between human consciousness and living space.
For example, in many cases where severe Pitru Dosha, afflicted Rahu, or karmic ancestral disturbances are observed in the horoscope, the South-West zone of the house or commercial property is often found imbalanced. This may appear as cuts, missing corners, heavy defects, underground water tanks, toilets, clutter, depression in level, cracks, or structural instability in that particular direction.
From a Vastu perspective, the South-West direction represents stability, ancestral energy, control, maturity, and karmic grounding. Scientifically, this can also be interpreted psychologically and environmentally. Disturbed spaces create disturbed emotional patterns. Continuous exposure to imbalance in important zones of a property can subconsciously influence decision-making, stress levels, emotional security, and family harmony.
Similarly, repeated defects in the North-East zone are frequently observed in individuals facing confusion, spiritual blockage, emotional instability, or poor clarity in life direction. Afflictions related to Jupiter, Moon, or Ketu often symbolically reflect through this zone. The East relates to growth and social opportunities, while the North governs financial movement and mental flow.
This does not necessarily mean that planets physically damage buildings. Rather, ancient sciences suggest resonance between human karmic energies and surrounding environments. Just as modern science acknowledges magnetic fields, frequencies, vibrations, and environmental psychology, ancient Vastu observed that spaces absorb and radiate subtle energetic influences over time.
Interestingly, today’s scientific disciplines are slowly moving toward similar understandings. Environmental psychology studies how spaces influence human emotions and behavior. Geopathic stress research studies the effect of underground disturbances on health and mental peace. Electromagnetic field studies analyze invisible energetic interactions within living environments. Quantum theories also suggest that observation, consciousness, and energy are deeply interconnected.
The digital era has further strengthened this research potential. Satellite mapping, digital compass systems, energy analysis applications, and astronomical software now allow precise correlation between property layouts and astrological patterns. Consultants can scientifically study directional imbalance, land energy, surrounding structures, and planetary influences with greater accuracy than ever before.
However, the true purpose of Astrology and Vastu should not be fear creation. These sciences were originally intended for awareness, balance, and corrective living. Every defect does not destroy life, and every good direction does not guarantee success. Human effort, discipline, ethics, and conscious action remain equally important.
Astrology reveals karmic tendencies. Vastu reflects environmental resonance. Science studies measurable patterns. Together, they form a deeper understanding of how human life interacts with both visible and invisible energies.
The future of these ancient sciences lies not in blind belief, but in responsible research, practical observation, and scientific interpretation. When understood correctly, Astrology and Vastu are not against science — they are complementary systems attempting to understand the same universal intelligence through different dimensions.

VIWA Cables Sets Two-Year Roadmap Toward IPO Readiness


Nashik, Maharashtra — May 18, 2026 — VIWA Cables Pvt. Ltd., a Nashik-based wires and cables company, has announced its plan to work toward an Initial Public Offering (IPO) within the next two years, subject to business performance, market conditions, statutory requirements, and regulatory approvals.The company is preparing this roadmap as part of its long-term growth strategy. The focus will be on strengthening manufacturing capacity, improving internal systems, expanding distribution, building stronger financial discipline, and preparing the company for public market standards.
VIWA Cables currently offers wires and cables for residential, agricultural, commercial, and industrial use. Its product range includes house wires, FRLS wires, HRFR wires, ZHFR wires, LAN cables, CCTV cables, telephone cables, submersible cables, solar cables, industrial cables, flexible cables, armoured and unarmoured cables, welding cables, communication cables, automotive cables, and fire survival cables.
A Long-Term Step For A Growing Brand
The proposed IPO roadmap is not only about raising public capital. For VIWA Cables, it is also about building stronger governance, clearer reporting systems, better operational discipline, and a wider market presence.
The company believes that the Indian wires and cables sector has strong long-term potential. Demand is rising from housing, commercial construction, agriculture, industrial projects, solar installations, data networks, and infrastructure development.
VIWA Cables wants to prepare itself for this opportunity with a structured and responsible growth plan.
Preparing The Business Before Entering Public Markets
Over the next two years, VIWA Cables plans to focus on key business areas important before any public listing step. These include production capacity, quality control, dealer and distributor growth, product availability, brand visibility, financial reporting, compliance systems, and leadership depth.
The company also plans to strengthen its connection with electricians, contractors, retailers, builders, and project buyers. These groups play an important role in the wires and cables market because product trust is built through daily use, field performance, and consistent supply.
Founder-Led Vision For IPO Readiness
VIWA Cables has identified Mr. Amol Kadu as its Founder and Managing Director in public communication. Public company records also list Amol Chandrakant Kadu and Urmila Amol Kadu as directors of VIWA Cables Private Limited.
Speaking on the company’s IPO roadmap, Mr. Amol Kadu, Founder and Managing Director of VIWA Cables Pvt. Ltd., said:
“An IPO is a serious milestone for any company. For us, the next two years will be about preparation, discipline, and building the right foundation. We want to grow in a way that is responsible, transparent, and useful for our customers, dealers, electricians, and future stakeholders.”
He added:
“VIWA Cables is being built with a long-term view. Our aim is not only to enter more markets, but to build a company that earns trust through product quality, safe wiring solutions, and consistent business practices.”
Focus On Systems, Scale, And Trust
As part of the IPO preparation roadmap, VIWA Cables plans to invest in better business systems and stronger internal controls. The company wants to bring more structure into production planning, inventory management, distribution support, finance, documentation, and customer service.
This step is expected to help the company move from early growth to a more organised expansion phase.
For a wires and cables company, trust is built slowly. Electricians need dependable products. Dealers need consistent supply. Customers need safety. Builders and contractors need cables that perform well across different conditions. VIWA Cables plans to keep these practical needs at the centre of its growth.
Regulatory And Market Conditions Will Guide The Timeline
The company has made it clear that the IPO plan will depend on market conditions, company readiness, financial performance, and applicable regulatory requirements. In India, public market activity is regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), and listing processes require detailed disclosures, due diligence, and compliance steps.
VIWA Cables will evaluate the right timing, structure, and platform for a future public issue after completing the required preparation stages.
Expanding From Nashik To Wider Indian Markets
VIWA Cables is based in Nashik, Maharashtra, and is working to build its presence across wider Indian markets. Public distributor listings show that the company has been looking to appoint distributors for its wires and cables products across multiple regions.
The proposed IPO roadmap is expected to support this wider vision by helping the company become more structured, scalable, and visible in the electrical products industry.
A Step Toward Institutional Growth
VIWA Cables sees the next two years as an important period in its journey. The company wants to move carefully, strengthen its base, and prepare for a future where it can operate with higher transparency and stronger market confidence.
The IPO roadmap reflects this larger ambition. It is a step toward institutional growth, but the company plans to stay grounded in the same areas that matter most: quality, safety, reliability, and long-term relationships.

बीजेपी की वाशिंग मशीन में धुल जाते हैं भ्रष्टाचारी - सम्भल में कांग्रेस का योगी सरकार पर बड़ा हमला, भाजपा नेताओं की संपत्तियों की हो जांच


 
 
  Sambhal । सम्भल में कांग्रेस ने योगी सरकार के खिलाफ भ्रष्टाचार, महंगाई और कानून व्यवस्था को लेकर जोरदार हमला बोला। जिला कांग्रेस कमेटी की ओर से आयोजित प्रेस कॉन्फ्रेंस में जिलाध्यक्ष आरिफ तुर्की ने आरोप लगाया कि उत्तर प्रदेश में भ्रष्टाचार चरम सीमा पर पहुंच चुका है और सत्ता पक्ष के नेताओं की निष्पक्ष जांच होनी चाहिए।
  

  
आरिफ तुर्की ने कहा कि बीजेपी सरकार भले ही “ज़ीरो टॉलरेंस” की बात करती हो, लेकिन हकीकत इससे बिल्कुल अलग है। उन्होंने दावा किया कि बीजेपी के ही कई विधायक अपनी सरकार पर भ्रष्टाचार के आरोप लगा चुके हैं। कांग्रेस नेता ने कहा कि जब कोई नेता विपक्ष में होता है तो बीजेपी उसे भ्रष्टाचारी बताती है, लेकिन जैसे ही वह बीजेपी में शामिल हो जाता है, उसके खिलाफ चल रही जांच खत्म हो जाती है। उन्होंने इसे “बीजेपी की वाशिंग मशीन” करार दिया। कांग्रेस ने बढ़ती महंगाई, डीजल के दामों में लगातार बढ़ोतरी और गैस की किल्लत को लेकर भी सरकार को घेरा। आरिफ तुर्की ने मांग की कि बीजेपी नेताओं और उनके परिवारों की 2017 से अब तक की संपत्तियों की उच्च स्तरीय जांच कराई जाए। उन्होंने चेतावनी देते हुए कहा कि अगर सरकार ने मांगों पर ध्यान नहीं दिया तो कांग्रेस संभल की चारों विधानसभाओं में बड़ा आंदोलन और प्रदर्शन करेगी।
 

बसपा को बड़ा झटका : असमोली के मुस्लिम चेहरे फिरोज खान ने थामा चंद्रशेखर आजाद का हाथ


 
 
  संभल । उत्तर प्रदेश की राजनीति में बहुजन समाज पार्टी को उस समय बड़ा झटका लगा, जब असमोली विधानसभा क्षेत्र के सामाजिक कार्यकर्ता और बसपा से जुड़े मोहम्मद फिरोज खान हिंदुस्तानी ने पार्टी छोड़ने का ऐलान कर दिया। उन्होंने बहुजन समाज पार्टी के मंडल और जिला स्तर के पदाधिकारियों पर उत्पीड़न, टिकट के नाम पर धन उगाही और कार्यकर्ताओं की अनदेखी जैसे गंभीर आरोप लगाए। इसके साथ ही उन्होंने आजाद समाज पार्टी (कांशीराम) की सदस्यता ग्रहण कर ली।
  
मोहम्मद फिरोज खान हिंदुस्तानी ने एक विस्तृत बयान जारी करते हुए कहा कि वह लंबे समय से बहुजन समाज पार्टी में सक्रिय रूप से कार्य कर रहे थे और असमोली क्षेत्र में शिक्षा, सामाजिक न्याय और जनहित के मुद्दों को लेकर संघर्ष करते रहे। उन्होंने दावा किया कि वर्ष 2011-12 में मायावती सरकार के दौरान बने राजकीय पॉलिटेक्निक कॉलेज असगरीपुर को बचाने के लिए उन्होंने 14 वर्षों तक संघर्ष किया और अंततः सरकार द्वारा अधूरे कार्यों के लिए धन आवंटित कराया गया।
  
उन्होंने आरोप लगाया कि समाजवादी पार्टी की विधायक पिंकी यादव से सांठगांठ कर बसपा के कुछ जिला और मंडल स्तर के पदाधिकारियों ने उन्हें लगातार पार्टी कार्यक्रमों और बैठकों से दूर रखा। उनका कहना है कि असमोली विधानसभा सीट पर टिकट वितरण में धनबल और राजनीतिक सौदेबाजी का खेल चलता है, जिससे समर्पित कार्यकर्ताओं की अनदेखी होती है।
  
फिरोज खान ने यह भी आरोप लगाया कि बहुजन समाज पार्टी में आम कार्यकर्ताओं की आवाज नहीं सुनी जाती और राष्ट्रीय नेतृत्व तक पहुंचने के लिए भी भारी रकम की मांग की जाती है। उन्होंने दावा किया कि 24 मार्च 2026 को उन्हें मायावती से मिलवाने के नाम पर दो लाख रुपये लिए गए थे।
  
अपने बयान में उन्होंने संभल हिंसा, मुस्लिम समाज से जुड़े मुद्दों, बुलडोजर कार्रवाई, बेरोजगारी, महंगाई और भ्रष्टाचार जैसे विषयों पर भी पार्टी नेतृत्व की चुप्पी पर सवाल उठाए। उन्होंने कहा कि उनकी राजनीति का उद्देश्य दलाली या चापलूसी नहीं, बल्कि शिक्षा, स्वास्थ्य, बिजली, पानी, सड़क, रोजगार और संवैधानिक अधिकारों के लिए संघर्ष करना है।
  
इसके बाद मोहम्मद फिरोज खान हिंदुस्तानी ने नागीना सांसद Chandrashekhar Azad के नेतृत्व में Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) की सदस्यता ग्रहण कर ली। पार्टी जॉइनिंग के दौरान पूर्व आईपीएस अधिकारी अमित वर्मा, प्रदेश अध्यक्ष सुनील चित्तौड़ और अन्य नेता भी मौजूद रहे।
  
फिरोज खान ने कहा कि वर्तमान समय में संविधान, सामाजिक न्याय और भाईचारे की रक्षा के लिए आजाद समाज पार्टी ही मजबूती से संघर्ष कर रही है और वह अब पूरी निष्ठा के साथ पार्टी की नीतियों को जन-जन तक पहुंचाने का कार्य करेंगे।

Inside the Quiet Reinvention of India’s Luxury Wedding Industry


A Gurugram firm is treating weddings not just as events to be executed, but as deeply emotional experiences to be protected, and the rest of the industry is beginning to notice.Most Indian weddings, even the very expensive ones, are still held together by a quiet act of collective faith. Faith that the florist will turn up on time. Faith that the cousin in charge of logistics has actually checked the room blocks. Faith that the groom’s baraat party understands why it’s important to arrive on time.
An industry that delivers ₹3 crore weddings still runs, astonishingly, on WhatsApp groups, paper ledgers and the assumption that things will somehow work out.
Swati Sharma found that gap interesting. Then she found it unacceptable.
But the operational chaos was only part of what she noticed. As she spent more time around weddings, Sharma began seeing something deeper: the emotional exhaustion hidden beneath the glamour. Brides trying to protect their parents from stress while silently carrying their own. Grooms caught between family expectations and wanting the wedding to still feel personal. Mothers staying awake till 3 am worrying about guest lists instead of enjoying one of the biggest milestones of their lives.
For Sharma, weddings stopped feeling like “events” very quickly. They began to feel like emotionally charged life transitions that deserved care, softness and structure in equal measure.
The Role of an Emotional Anchor
“People think wedding planners only manage decor and logistics,” Swati says. “But somewhere along the way, we become emotional anchors. We become the bridge between generations, between the couple and their families, between expectation and reality.”
Sharma is the founder of Saffron Events, the Gurugram-based wedding planning firm she incorporated in December 2021 after more than a decade across marketing and creative roles. In the years since, she has quietly built one of the most talked-about names in Delhi NCR’s premium wedding circuit, planning full-service and destination weddings across India in the ₹50 lakh to ₹3 crore-plus bracket.
The growth has come not from louder marketing, but from a refusal to treat weddings like assembly-line productions.
A Brand Brief Before a Pinterest Board
Walk into most Indian wedding meetings and the first reference shared is a Pinterest board. Walk into a Saffron meeting and you are more likely to be asked how the bride and groom first met. The answer matters because it becomes the brief, and at Saffron, every wedding starts there.
“Decor is just the surface,” Swati says. “The real craft is in the thinking before the decor. When you start with a story instead of a Pinterest board, the entire event begins to feel intentional.”
That single discipline, lifted straight from her marketing background, changes everything downstream. The mandap stops being a Pinterest replica and starts becoming an extension of a memory. The welcome hamper stops being generic gifting and starts saying something about the couple themselves.
The result is a category of wedding production the traditional industry rarely manages consistently: celebrations that feel emotionally art-directed rather than simply assembled.
One recent multi-city celebration unfolded across Kolkata, Singapore, Paris and Delhi, with each city treated as a chapter in the couple’s story rather than four disconnected events.
● Kolkata honoured their roots.
● Singapore represented where their relationship began.
● Paris was intimate and deeply personal.
● Delhi became the culmination.
The themes, dress codes, music and guest experiences shifted from city to city, but the emotional narrative held throughout.
Building Systems To Turn Chaos Into Successful Events
The visible work, Swati says, is actually the easier half. The harder, and far less glamorous, work happens behind the scenes.
Indian wedding planning, even at the luxury end, has historically been resistant to systems. Leads arrive on WhatsApp and disappear in the same place. Vendor payments are tracked manually. Finance management becomes a reactive scramble days before an event. For an industry handling crores per project, the absence of infrastructure has long been accepted as normal.
Sharma did not want Saffron to function on stress and improvisation.
“We never built systems to sound tech-forward,” Swati says. “We built them because families deserve peace of mind. When someone trusts us with one of the biggest moments of their lives, they should not be worrying about missed payments, confused timelines or vendor follow-ups.”
That thinking led Saffron to develop FinTrack+, a finance tracking platform built specifically for Indian event planners, with GST treatment, TDS mechanics, vendor payouts and project-wise profitability integrated into the core.
In parallel, the company also launched Plan with Saffron, a vetted vendor ecosystem featuring a structured Vendor Onboarding process where photographers, decorators, makeup artists, caterers and venues go through evaluation before entering the network.
The CRM is automated. The lead pipeline is streamlined. The backend functions with the precision of an agency rather than the chaos traditionally associated with wedding planning.
But Swati insists the systems were never the destination. They were meant to create emotional breathing room.
“At our core, we are not just consultants,” Swati says. “We are confidants. Sometimes negotiators. Sometimes protectors. Sometimes simply the people a bride calls when she feels overwhelmed and cannot say it out loud to her family.”
The Real Product Is Not the Wedding
With operations running more smoothly behind the scenes, the team’s real focus becomes something harder to quantify: interpretation.
A Saffron onboarding rarely begins with venue options or colour palettes. It begins with long conversations to explore the core of the celebration:
● How did the couple meet?
● Which rituals matter deeply to each side of the family?
● Which traditions can be modernised, and which should remain untouched?
● What does celebration look like for this particular family?
Only then does planning begin. And once it does, every detail becomes intentional: the flow of ceremonies, the regional flavours on the menu, the gifting, the lighting transitions, the music cues, and the emotional rhythm of the evening itself.
For Sharma, personalization is no longer a luxury add-on. It is the entire product. One of her most emotional moments came after a wedding where the bride’s father quietly pulled her aside after the pheras.
"He told me, ‘For the first time in six months, I actually got to sit and watch my daughter get married instead of worrying about what could go wrong.’"
“That stayed with me,” Swati says. “Because that is the real job. Not just creating beautiful weddings, but giving families the chance to truly be present inside them.”
A Different Kind of Wedding Company
What Saffron represents is less a single company and more a larger generational shift within India’s luxury wedding industry: founders with backgrounds in branding and storytelling, operational systems built in-house, and a move away from excess toward intentionality.
For couples planning weddings in Delhi NCR or destination celebrations across India, expectations are quietly changing. Weddings are no longer judged only by scale, but by how personal they feel.
Saffron now offers Full Wedding Planning, Partial Planning, Day-of Coordination, Décor & Styling and Destination Wedding services, along with one-on-one consultations for couples still in the early stages of planning.
But ask Swati what she believes clients remember most, and her answer has very little to do with decor.
“In the end, people rarely remember weddings only for how they looked,” Swati says. “They remember how they felt.”
For many clients, that feeling becomes the defining memory long after the event itself ends.
“We initially hired Saffron for planning and decor,” says a recent bride from Delhi NCR. “But somewhere during the process, they became our safest space. They handled difficult conversations with so much grace, protected our vision without dismissing our parents’ emotions, and somehow made an overwhelming process feel deeply personal. By the wedding day, they didn’t feel like vendors. They felt like family.”
The decor eventually gets archived. The photographs get framed. But the feeling of being understood stays. And perhaps that is what the next generation of luxury wedding planning in India is really becoming: not louder weddings, but more meaningful ones.
