In these years we’ve published stories across genres – stories of love, hope, faith and courage. And through our storytelling, we’ve built an engaged community of over 6M!
Our idea is simple – to strike a chord with our community and catalogue the beat of humanity, one story at a time.

When a friend’s father told Dr. Ritu Hinduja, “Girls aren’t supposed to play gully cricket with boys,” it wasn’t just about a game. It was her first real brush with patriarchy. 👀

Raised in a home where education mattered more than gender, Dr. Hinduja grew up with big dreams — and the freedom to chase them. From biology to medicine, and then training across India, Spain, Germany, Israel and London, her journey has been anything but ordinary.

But when she started her OBGYN and IVF practice in 2011, she realized something important: the biggest challenge wasn’t always medical.

It was the fear. The shame. The silence.

Women walked into her clinic carrying not just their medical history, but society’s pressure too — whispering about IVF, egg freezing, irregular periods, fertility, and the fear of being judged for it all.

“Money was always tight growing up in Hyderabad. By 10th grade, I was bartending just to avoid asking my parents for money.” That bartending job eventually gave birth to Indulge – the luxury concierge service that caters to Bollywood icons and global CXOs.

From being introduced to the world of PR, luxury events, and limited access, to catering to the industry at a time when the world was dealing with COVID-19, Karan Bhangay’s story is nothing short of inspirational.

He observed an opportunity to cater to a niche audience – one that valued convenience and sought seamless access to services, experiences, and solutions that simplified their busy lives. Booking private jets at the very last minute, arranging a private orchestra for a client who wanted their partner’s favourite song performed, arranging roses in an exact shade sourced from three countries – they have consistently executed the impossible. Through it all, their core philosophy reflects one thing – the client’s wish is their command.

Tune into this insightful conversation that discusses the business of serving millionaires, and what it really takes to serve the wealthiest people on the planet.
