    Ladies Who Lead launches Venture Vault for open, actionable learning

    MUMBAI: Ladies Who Lead, the exclusive women-led network founded by Aabha Bakaya and Aditya Ghosh, has officially launched Venture Vault an open-to-all, immersive learning platform designed to equip professionals with real-world business insights.

    Previously available only to members, Venture Vault is now accessible to all genders, welcoming founders, freelancers, consultants, and corporate leaders alike. The initiative is built to bridge critical knowledge gaps in strategy, scaling, and leadership through practical, high-impact sessions.

    The first public edition of Venture Vault kicked off in Mumbai, drawing a crowd of over 250 attendees — from CXOs to startup founders. The event featured a star-studded panel including Ghosh, (Akasa Air CEO) Vinay Dube, (Bombay Shaving Company founder) Shantanu Deshpande, (Humans of Bombay founder) Karishma Mehta, and (Blume Ventures) Karthik B. Reddy among others. The sessions tackled early-stage funding, execution challenges, and customer acquisition strategies.

    “We believe that true leadership is nurtured when insights are shared and opportunities are made accessible to everyone,” said Ladies Who Lead founder Bakaya.

    “This platform is our commitment to fostering a future where diverse voices and bold ideas drive innovation.”

    Co-founder Ghosh added, “Following successful pilot runs, we are now introducing Venture Vault to non-members as a pan-India platform to foster knowledge sharing and networking.”

    What sets Venture Vault apart is its focus on actionable learning. Rather than traditional theory-heavy formats, the sessions are designed to offer real-time strategies and conclude with live Q&As, allowing participants to engage directly with business icons.  

    The launch marks the beginning of a multi-city rollout, with upcoming editions set for New Delhi and Bangalore. By integrating digital media, expert-led panels, and interactive formats, Venture Vault is positioned to redefine entrepreneurial education in India.

    With this move, Ladies Who Lead signals its intent to build an inclusive, future-ready professional ecosystem, empowering individuals across sectors to learn, connect, and grow together.

  • OYO unveils television campaign ‘OYO – Raho Mast’

    OYO unveils television campaign ‘OYO – Raho Mast’

    MUMBAI: OYO Hotels & Homes, the world’s second-largest chain of hotels, homes, managed living and workspaces, has rolled out its new campaign – ‘OYO, Raho Mast’. The five-week-long burst is LIVE across television, digital and social media platforms.

    OYO was established with the vision of creating affordable, accessible and quality living spaces with standardized amenities and service delivery designed to suit the needs of every pocket. For years, more often than not travelers and city-dwellers were forced to compromise on location, quality, and price. OYO eliminates the price disparity that we have come to expect from the interference of touts and ensures that safe and secure, comfortable hospitality options are available to everyone, everywhere at the tap of a button. Rooted in this thought, the true essence of OYO – Raho Mast comes alive with the idea that OYO exists to help fulfill your purpose to get out there, to travel, to work, to relax, to bond, to just be. To lead a good life. With OYO you find a quality living space in your budget, more options and a chance to dream bigger and better. 

    Inspired by real-life experiences of diverse travellers, the campaign creatively narrates three stories showcasing challenges faced by varied consumer segments. Through a humorous take, three films illustrate the consumers’ behaviours, changing needs and resultant trends; ultimately highlighting OYO’s differentiated offerings for everyone (to live a good life or raho mast). The three films look into the lives of a family, business travellers and couples and subsequently, how they have found the best solution with OYO, during their usually chaotic travel and stays.

    Reflecting on the television campaign, OYO Hotels and Homes CEO, India & South Asia Aditya Ghosh said, “We are excited about this new Raho Mast brand campaign. Great brands are built when you are answering to the consumer's needs, doing it consistently and delivering on your promises. With its funny, quirky and yet relevant approach, the Raho Mast brand campaign reflects on what the average Indian consumer goes through and how OYO can help make the experience hassle-free at every touch-point. The red and white OYO sign stands for our enduring belief that low cost has nothing to do with low quality.”

    Announcing the launch of its television campaign, OYO Hotels & Homes, India  Chief Operating Officer Gaurav Ajmera said, “We are thrilled to launch ‘OYO – Raho Mast’. With this campaign, we would like to strike a chord with our consumers by providing the best hospitality solution to end their travel woes with our standardized and comfortable stay offerings, at good value for money. Our journey so far has been nothing short of exceptional and we truly believe that this has only been possible because of the love our guests have shown us. These TVCs are an ode to our guests, who continue to inspire us in making OYO their most-preferred hospitality partner whenever they travel. We will continue our efforts towards providing a seamless and happy experience to consumers by eliminating the hassles that come along with hotel bookings.”

    Starting 25th November until 3rd January, the campaign aims to build awareness about OYO as a hotel brand through reach based mass approach with high frequency. The three brand films will be seen across multiple television channels including primetime slots, with a major focus on GEC, Hindi Movies, Hindi News, English News, Music and several regional genre platforms. To increase visibility, glimpses of the campaign will appear on popular Indian entertainment shows like Indian Idol, Bigg Boss and The Kapil Sharma Show. With an aim to reach a whopping 75 million consumers across the country, the campaign will go live across digital and social media channels like Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tik Tok, Gaana among many others. Simultaneously, the campaign will be amplified through an influencer marketing campaign with noted celebrities and social media content creators.

It powerfully encapsulates all the lessons of empowerment of the socially marginalized, gender equality, the importance of education, and last but not least how with courage, determination, and hard work, a child can achieve anything! The movie features Aditi Inamdar and Rahul Bose in lead roles.

    ‘Poorna’ director and producer Bose said, “It was just a perfect fit to partner with a brand like IndiGo that consistently recognizes and respects the incredible achievements of women. I hope this partnership turns into a lifelong friendship of shared values.” The co-producer of ‘Poorna’, Amit Patni, Founder of RAAY Media, said, “When Rahul suggested we tie up with IndiGo airlines we immediately agreed. Their professionalism, commitment to excellence and ‘Girl Power’ initiative left us in no doubt that this would be a natural, mutually productive partnership.”

    IndiGo president Aditya Ghosh said, “It is indeed an honour to be associated with a movie such as Poorna that reminds us of a young girl’s extremely difficult yet courageous journey. Her exemplary display of determination, self-discipline and physical fitness is an inspiration for all of us. I would like to congratulate Rahul Bose for creating such a masterpiece and I am confident that the movie will receive love from the audience.”

    Ghosh further added, “At IndiGo, we believe that women have the power to change any industry and with this belief we have endeavoured to empower women (both employees and communities outside). Our collaboration with Poorna aligns naturally with our ongoing programmes – #GirlPower and #FitToFly that believe in empowering everyone inside and outside the organisation with better opportunities.”

    Empowering women has been core to IndiGo. It is evident from the data as 43 percent of the entire workforce and also 25 per cent of the leadership team comprises women workforce.
