    Jonty Rhodes dives into startup TV arena

    MUMBAI: From diving for catches to diving into deals, Jonty Rhodes is set to make a different kind of pitch, this time, on Indian television. The legendary South African cricketer and global sports icon will appear on Ideabaaz, India’s first media-integrated startup reality show, airing November 8 at 6:30 pm and 11 pm on Zee TV and Zee5.

    In a never-before-seen avatar, Rhodes joins UpUrFit co-founders Munish Vig and Vikram Gunjal to pitch their sports wellness brand to the Titans, Ideabaaz’s panel of investors. The show, conceptualised by Jeet Wagh and Sagoon Wagh, is designed to democratise startup funding by bringing entrepreneurs from across India, especially from tier II and III cities, face-to-face with investors, all within a high-energy television format.

    UpUrFit, co-founded in 2023, is fast carving out its space in India’s USD 40 billion sports wellness market. With a focus on performance, recovery, and hygiene products made from clean, effective ingredients, the brand is backed by Rhodes himself.

As of October, the brand boasts an ARR of Rs 40 million and a 50 per cent QoQ growth rate.

    Sharing his excitement, Rhodes said, “Pitching on Ideabaaz was a whole new ballgame for me. Usually, I’m diving for catches, not catching investors’ attention. It was exciting to share UpUrFit’s vision on a platform that celebrates innovation and passion. As an athlete and entrepreneur, I’ve always believed in fitness that’s real and relatable, and that’s exactly what UpUrFit stands for.”

    MUMBAI: Check, mate, and market ready! Fyers, India’s tech-driven brokerage and investment platform, has announced a strategic move of its own, becoming the title sponsor of the American Gambits, one of the most dynamic franchises in the Global Chess League.

    A chess enthusiast himself, Tejas Khoday drew parallels between the game and investing. “Every move in chess mirrors the mindset needed in trading, thinking ahead, assessing risk, and staying calm under pressure. This partnership celebrates that shared discipline and strategic intelligence,” he said.

  • Plush makes comfort a right, not a risk

    Plush makes comfort a right, not a risk

    MUMBAI: Now that’s a policy women can really get behind. Plush, the Chennai-based feminine hygiene brand, has launched India’s first-ever “Period Insurance,” a bold promise to make rash-free comfort a guarantee, not a gamble.

    Part of its spirited new campaign “Adjust Mat Karo, Plush Use Karo,” the initiative challenges the idea that discomfort is just part of the monthly routine. With every pack of Plush products, users now get “Period Insurance,” meaning first-time buyers can claim a refund if they experience rashes, irritation, or discomfort.

    “Periods already come with enough challenges. Women shouldn’t have to worry about their products adding to them,” said Plush co-founder Ketan Munoth. “With Period Insurance, we’re giving women the confidence to try Plush without hesitation. It’s about reassurance, trust, and comfort.”

    The process is refreshingly simple, every Plush pack includes a coverage card, and users can claim a refund by emailing care@plushforher.com if their first experience isn’t irritation-free.

    Plush’s campaign goes beyond a clever concept, it’s a cultural statement. By telling women to stop “adjusting” and start expecting comfort, the brand is aiming to normalise conversations around period care that prioritise well-being over endurance.

    To spread the message, Plush is amplifying the initiative through real user stories, on ground activations, and influencer collaborations, turning everyday experiences into authentic testimonials of comfort.

    With Period Insurance, Plush isn’t just selling pads, it’s underwriting confidence, one cycle at a time.
