    “VoloFin plays a pivotal role in empowering SMEs to flourish and expand within tier-2 cities”: Roshan Shah

    Mumbai: VoloFin is a one-of-its-kind fintech platform, providing end-to-end solutions in the domains of factoring and supply chain financing. The company positions itself as both a lender and a platform, wherein banks can participate in the factoring business.

    The trade finance gap in India is immense, and SMEs are the most affected by this phenomenon as they have limited access to traditional banking. Seeking an opportunity in this segment, both Roshan Shah and Anand Tiwari realized that the most effective way to bridge this gap was through fintech and digitization. This prompted them to conceptualize and launch VoloFin in 2020.

    Headquartered in Singapore, the company has successfully expanded its presence globally in a short time span, and has offices in India and the USA with a team strength of 40+ odd people. Over the course of time, the platform has onboarded various funds and lenders across the globe, including the Exim Bank of India, along with other leading global banks/funds

Most SMEs onboarded with us have grown their business multiple times, as we provide them quick financing, not balance sheet driven, without collateral, assuming the buyer risk default and converting their long receivables into instant cash/liquidity, which helps them with the ability to take more orders, buy raw materials, increase their production capacity, etc.

  • Y-3 and Real Madrid present their Collaborative Matchwear Collection

    Y-3 and Real Madrid present their Collaborative Matchwear Collection

    Mumbai: Having launched a collaborative travel collection earlier this year, two titans, on and off the pitch, come together once again as Y-3 and Real Madrid present their collaborative Matchwear collection.

    In a fusion of elegance and tradition, Y-3 and Real Madrid’s new premium range brings together fashion and the pinnacle of sport. The aesthetic vision centers on a signature rose motif that takes inspiration from the early days of the collaboration between adidas and Yohji Yamamoto, when roses were the graphic of choice and became the iconic signature of the renowned Japanese fashion designer.

    The collection itself is highlighted by a purple 4th kit for both the Real Madrid Men’s and Women’s teams, constructed with moisture wicking HEAT.RDY technology to keep players feeling dry while performing on the biggest stage. Story and identity come together in the Matchwear kit through the colors of Real Madrid, where purple is a key shade within the club’s DNA. In addition to the 4th kit, the collection features two goalkeeper kits – one in black and one in orange – as well as a white pre-match selection including a top, a pair of shorts, and an anthem jacket.

    From the pitch to the stands, Y-3 has also curated a selection of standout fanwear items, which perfectly encapsulate the label’s savoir-faire, including a T-shirt, a hoodie, a cross body bag, a cap, and a scarf. Alongside the collection, Y-3 and adidas are set to introduce a special edition Predator boot and Goalkeeper gloves.

    Helping to bring the collection to life is a continuation of the campaign shot by London-based photographer Gabriel Moses. Featuring present day Real Madrid icons including Naomie Feller, Jude Bellingham, David Alaba, and Misa Rodríguez, the dynamic visuals tell a story of an unmatched sporting legacy, reimagined. 

  • Myntra and Britannia Good Day introduce pants with hidden money pockets

    Myntra and Britannia Good Day introduce pants with hidden money pockets

    Mumbai: What’s the hot trend today? Shackets? Cargo pants? Denims on denims? Myntra, the home of trends – is turning the trend game upside down and making us buy pants for an all-new reason… to find money inside its pockets!

    Think about it. Every human being on Earth loves finding forgotten money in their pockets. But since millions of young Indians switched to digital payments, this small joy is running out of circulation.

    To resurrect this small win for a whole new generation, Talented Agency turned to Britannia Good Day – India’s favourite cookie brand, that’s all about celebrating the small wins, and asked them to put their money where their mouth is… or where their consumers’ pockets are.

    Thus was born the ‘The Bank of Small Wins’ – a guerilla activation that’s entering pockets. Britannia Good Day printed their own currency* (worth ~ Rs 15 lakhs), in denominations ranging from Rs 10 to Rs 2000, each adorned with designs inspired by the memorable packs of Britannia Good Day… and stuffed into lakhs of pockets across India.

    Starting with 1 lakh random pockets across Myntra’s collection: in random jeans, trousers, pyjamas, you name it. Across the best of Myntra’s homegrown brands including Roadster and FWD.

    And while the ‘bank’ might not be real, the value of the currency is! Every note from The Bank of Small Wins is redeemable for actual currency (through a UPI cashback). No strings attached.

    In an exciting tease, Britannia Good Day has also hinted at the possibility of a massive Rs 50,000 note hidden in one of these pockets, somewhere!

    That’s not all – each note contains bonus small wins, cleverly crafted to offer a touch of whimsy and practicality to any social situation – whether it’s turning a meeting into an email or sidestepping the dreaded ‘Shaadi’ conversation with parents, these bonus wins add an extra layer of charm to every discovery.

    In a classic Indian touch, some of these notes will also have random scribbles on them that make the receiver even luckier – right from secret autographs ft. an Indian sportstar, to a secret phone number which will award the user with three months of free Britannia Good Day packs!

    “The  Beastification of Good Day is here! Digital payments killed the world’s biggest small win, and Britannia Good Day is now resurrecting it. Through the world’s smallest media touchpoint… pockets! To think that there could be a Britannia Good Day ad hiding in your pocket was both hilarious and thrilling. Both Aww and Awe. This insight and idea is relatable to every human being on Earth – and we’ve been joking about how Britannia Good Day should go global just so every currency – Euro, Yen, Dollar – gets a taste of The Bank of Small Wins. It’s the prettiest-looking currency out there!” Sanket Audhi and Aatif Shaikh, Creatives @ Talented.

    “Cookie Dough is meeting Real Dough! To take Britannia Good Day from the Indian kitchen to the Indian wardrobe was unexpected. We hope buying pants or giving them for laundry will never feel the same again. The Bank of Small Wins is a guerilla activation, a media innovation and a cross-brand collaboration… all rolled into one, and one of the freshest interpretations of Britannia Good Day’s brand platform of Everyday Small Wins,” Amit Doshi, Chief Marketing Officer, Britannia.

    “What do cookies and pants have in common? One of the most exciting partnerships seen in India of course! Partnering with Britannia we gave Cash on Delivery a whole new spin multiplying the delight and excitement of receiving your order. We’re hoping this makes shopping on Myntra even more exciting now. And on a lighter note, gives us more reasons for women’s clothes to have pockets.” Vijay Sharma, Senior Director, Brand Marketing, Myntra.

    Want to find one of these notes? Try your luck by shopping on Myntra!

    Swiggy launches ‘She The Change’

    Mumbai: In a tribute to India’s vibrant spirit of women entrepreneurship and their impact on the economic landscape, Swiggy, India’s leading on-demand convenience platform, launched a new initiative titled “She The Change- From Vision to Venture”. Inaugurated by the Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs, Government of India, Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman, the initiative by Swiggy underscores the contribution of food delivery platforms in fostering and stimulating women’s entrepreneurship in the country.

    Commemorating nearly a decade of working with women entrepreneurs, Swiggy is shining the spotlight on their journey ‘from vision to venture’ for both budding and established women entrepreneurs in the Food & Beverage (F&B) industry. The launch event served as a platform for accomplished women entrepreneurs in F&B from across India, joined by distinguished figures from economics and academia, and Swiggy’s leadership including Swiggy group CEO Sriharsha Majety and Rohit Kapoor, Swiggy Food Marketplace CEO Rohit Kapoor.

    Swiggy has more than 50,000 women-run restaurants on its platform. It is estimated that these entrepreneurs are generating approximately three hundred thousand jobs, as each restaurant employs an average of six direct employees. Swiggy believes that this is merely the beginning of their contribution to the food and beverage sector, which accounts for around three per cent of the country’s GDP.

    The Honourable Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs commended Swiggy’s role in encouraging and recognising the performance of women-led businesses, a move emphasizing the Honourable Prime Minister’s endorsement of women’s inclusion in the workforce, encapsulated in his vision of ‘Nari Shakti,’.

    Speaking at the occasion, Sitharaman said “From keeping women at the centre of policymaking to women-related budgets to discussing women in employment, we have come a long way. Today, I can see there is great vibrancy in women-led enterprises, where women are coming forth and taking up business challenges- whether small, medium or big, you find women everywhere, and programmes such as Swiggy’s “She the Change” are giving them the encouragement and a little push, and for other women to know this is possible. Swiggy deserves a special mention for encouraging women’s entrepreneurship nationwide.”

    Majety said, “’She The Change’ transcends being just an initiative; it stands as a platform, dedicated to honouring and amplifying the remarkable stories of women entrepreneurs and leaders in the F&B industry. They have not only set new benchmarks for success but also played a pivotal role in shaping India’s economic narrative. At Swiggy, we deeply acknowledge the dedication and perseverance they’ve poured into their ventures, and it’s our privilege to celebrate and recognize several of them in the presence of Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman Ji, Honourable Minister of Finance & Corporate Affairs.”

    Kapoor said “In the decade since Swiggy’s inception, we’ve had the honour to provide a platform for women entrepreneurs in the F&B space and witness their remarkable journeys first-hand. It’s inspiring to see the steady growth in both the number and scale of women-led businesses on Swiggy each year. ‘She the Change’ is dedicated to these entrepreneurial women. It’s more than just a celebration—it’s about empowering them with access to resources for sustained success, growth, and meaningful impact.”

    NOTO- Healthy Ice Cream co-founder Ashni Shah said, “The restaurant industry is highly competitive, and this is why it is encouraging to see women in the industry being celebrated by a platform like Swiggy with the “She the Change” initiative. Food delivery platforms like Swiggy make a significant contribution towards enhancing our visibility and increasing our order volumes by connecting us with a broader customer base. I am grateful for this recognition and hope that this initiative inspires more women to not only take the initial step but also pursue their aspirations with conviction.”

    Swiggy’s mission to offer unparalleled convenience to consumers through access to a wide variety of restaurants has empowered numerous restaurants, especially in smaller towns. Bonfire Pizza, Rishikesh, Priya Sharma said “From sharing homemade meals at the office to launching our restaurant, the journey has been a leap of faith. We faced many trials, including limited resources and no advertising budget, however, post our partnership with Swiggy in 2019, our business saw a transformative shift, reaching new heights. Today, Bonfire Pizza is not just a restaurant; it’s a testament to chasing your passion and embracing the opportunities that come your way. Is heartening to see Swiggy recognise and honour women entrepreneurship through stories of women-led businesses turning their vision into reality.”

    The event concluded with the facilitation of women entrepreneurs from across the country, celebrating their remarkable contributions and inspiring journeys in creating a difference through their ventures.
