    Your mantra for life

    Keep moving forward, no matter the obstacles. Hard work and perseverance always pay off.

    A book you are currently reading or plan to read

    The Lean Startup by Eric Ries – it’s a great guide for innovation and staying agile in the fast-paced world of business.

    Consistency over intensity. A little progress every day adds up to big results.

    Your comfort food

    A simple plate of sambhar rice. It reminds me of home and keeps me grounded.

    A quote or philosophy that keeps you going when the chips are down

    “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.” -Winston Churchill

    Your guilty pleasure

    Binge-watching motivational documentaries late at night, even when I should be sleeping.

    The last time you tried something new

    I recently took up meditation to help calm my mind and manage stress better.

    A life lesson you learned the hard way:

    You can’t control everything. Sometimes, you just have to let go and trust the process.

    What gets you excited about life?

    The endless possibilities that each new day brings and the chance to create something meaningful.

    What’s on top of your bucket list?

    To see my agency recognised as one of the top media buying powerhouses in India.

    If you could give one piece of advice to your younger self, what would it be?

    Stay patient, keep learning, and don’t let anxiety control you. Good things take time.

    One thing you would most like to change about the world

    I wish there was more empathy and understanding among people. A little kindness can go a long way.

    An activity that keeps you motivated and charged during tough times

    Running in the early mornings. It helps clear my mind and sets the tone for the day

    What lifts your spirits when life gets you down?

    Spending time with my family-they are my biggest support system.

    Your go-to stress buster

    Listening to music while sipping on a hot cup of green tea.

    MUMBAI: Known for choosing intriguing topics as the subjects of his films, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt created a furore in the 80s when he made Arth – a coming of age movie that was considered “too bold” for that time.

     

    Now, the filmmaker who has had successful runs with his past theatrical productions like The Last Salute and Trial of Errors with Sandiip Kapur (promodome films) adapted the film for the stage.

     

    Arth – The Play was staged at Sriram Center, Mandi House in the capital over the weekend which was attended by the director himself. Bhatt was seen interacting with and encouraging the artists.

     

    The play was directed by Priyanka Pathak, a graduate in ‘Theater Design and Direction’ from National School of Drama (NSD), who has worked with eminent theater personalities from India and abroad.

     

    On the occasion Mahesh Bhatt said, “We all borrow from life but not everybody achieves results quite as cauterizing.”

     

    Delhi-based actor Imran Zahid, who earlier essayed the role of Muntadar Al Zaidi in The Last Salute and of journalist Rehan in Trial of Errors played the lead role.

    MUMBAI: Promodome Communications has been awarded the creative and media duties of Venkateshwara Group.

    The group, based in Meerut, runs Venkateshwara Group of Institutions. The agency will work for the three universities run by the group.

    Venkateshwara Group of Institutions chairman Sudhir Giri said, “The decision to go with Promodome is driven by two factors. Firstly, their ability to offer 360-degree communication services through a single window. Secondly, their track record of having built education brands like Manav Rachna University and others.

    The advertising and promotion budget for the three universities put together will be in excess of Rs 100 million, and while print will be a major medium to begin with, television, digital media and events will also be used to further the brands with students and parents.

    Promodome Communications president Sandiip Kapur added, “Education as a sector is booming in India, and in today‘s times, it is not merely enough to have a quality institution. It is equally important, if not more, to communicate the institutions‘ strength to various audiences. With choices widening, it is essential for colleges and universities to also focus on brand building, and that‘s where we intend to play a significant role.”
