The film unfolds during Diwali preparations in a modern Indian home, where children playfully enact the Ramayan with toy bows and painted moustaches. In the kitchen, the house help, Shabari, is seen preparing kheer with Khetika dry fruits, symbolising prosperity and purity. Focused on her work, Shabari hadn’t planned to take time off and was ready to come the next day — until the child playing Ram gently reminds her, “Diwali to aapke ghar mein bhi hai na,” sparking a heartfelt realization for her and Ram’s mother.

His words prompt the mother to reflect, leading her to acknowledge Shabari’s role with gratitude. She offers her kheer enriched with Khetika dry fruits and a Khetika gift box, underlining the film’s message that while rituals brighten homes, it is acchai that truly makes celebrations meaningful.

Speaking on the launch of the campaign, Dr. Prithwi Singh, CEO, Khetika said: “This digital film is deeply personal to us because it mirrors what Khetika stands for — purity, honesty, and inclusivity. With ‘Acchai Se Farak Padta Hai,’ we wanted to remind people that true celebrations go beyond rituals and decorations. Just as our preservative-free dry fruits add goodness to something as simple as kheer, choosing kindness and gratitude brings depth to our relationships and traditions. We hope the campaign inspires people to celebrate with authenticity and goodness this festive season.”

With ‘Acchai Se Farak Padta Hai’, Khetika extends its festive wishes to households across India, reminding everyone that celebrations are most meaningful when shared with sincerity and gratitude. This Diwali, the brand encourages families to make mindful choices and celebrate the season in the spirit of genuine goodness.

Amazon India and FITPASS Forge Industry-First Partnership to Revolutionise Fitness Access

India, 9th October, 2025: As India logs 2.4 billion “gym near me” searches a year twice the volume of 2022 FITPASS,  leading fitness and wellness startup and largest fitness membership programme, has partnered with Amazon India to become the first subscription-based fitness service on the e-commerce giant’s platform. This strategic alliance, a year in the making, marks Amazon’s pioneering entry into subscription-based services in India, with fitness leading the way.

FITPASS-X-AMAZON_0

India is now the global diabetes capital (101 million cases) and the third-most obese nation; yet barely 5 % of the 900 million-strong working-age population holds any paid fitness subscription. Fragmented gym networks, opaque pricing, lack of personalised guidance, scant coverage in tier-2/3 towns and the absence of a single platform that unites exercise, nutrition and medical support keep millions on the sidelines. Physical inactivity now drives INR 3.6 lakh crore in preventable healthcare costs annually. However, with India’s youthful population 65 % under 35 year showing a growing interest in health and wellness, the market is poised to more-than-double to ₹37,700 crore by 2030—if only access can be fixed. This rising demand for accessible fitness solutions presents a vast market opportunity across the country.

That fix starts today. Amazon India’s collaboration introduces FITPASS’ full suite—unlimited access to 8,100+ gyms and studios nationwide, FITPASS PRO’s premium features, FITPASS Lite’s budget-friendly plans, personalised nutrition via FITFEAST, AI-powered FITCOACH, on-demand workouts on FITPASS TV, online doctor consultations and pharmacy benefits under the single FITPASS 360 membership, bought in one click on Amazon.

FITPASS 360 is India’s only inclusive membership that integrates fitness, custom nutrition planning, smart coaching, diagnostic services and on-demand medical consultations into one complete wellness ecosystem. By embedding the subscription inside Amazon’s 300-million-user marketplace, the partnership collapses every access barrier catalogued above: users purchase and activate FITPASS 360 instantly through Amazon, with seamless integration into the FITPASS mobile app.

Catering to a diverse demographic across India—from Tier 2 and 3 cities to urban centres—FITPASS bridges the gap between Bharat and India, offering comprehensive fitness solutions that resonate across the socio-economic spectrum. The moment a customer hits “Buy”, the membership auto-loads into the FITPASS app, turning the same phone that searched for “gym near me” into a personal wellness hub.

As the only provider to combine exercise, nutrition, coaching and consultations, FITPASS offers an inclusive programme designed to meet the needs of nearly 100 % of the Indian population. Amazon is strategically partnering with FITPASS in this high-potential segment to give customers everything they need for personal fitness and wellness. Consumer spending here keeps accelerating, and through Amazon, FITPASS is not just selling memberships—it is making fitness a realistic and achievable goal for millions of Indians.

“This partnership with Amazon represents a watershed moment in Indian fitness. After spending more than a year in strategic development, we’ve co-created a new category in fitness subscription – a first for Amazon in India. We’ve identified lack of access as a major obstacle to fitness in India; this is exactly what Amazon and FITPASS are solving together,” says Akshay Verma, Co-founder of FITPASS. “What’s particularly exciting is Amazon’s recognition of fitness membership as one of the fastest-growing wellness segments in the country, commanding an increasingly significant share of consumer expenditure. This partnership validates both the explosive growth potential of the fitness ecosystem and the shift towards subscription models in India. By combining our extensive fitness network with Amazon’s unparalleled reach and high-intent customer base, we’re pioneering a path that will inspire more players to invest in India’s burgeoning health consciousness,” he further added.

“Amazon India, with its expanding sports services range, is establishing itself as the one-stop destination for sports and fitness. The partnership with FITPASS marks a strategic step in expanding into India’s fitness subscription space.” said Karthik Subbarayappa, Director – Kitchen, Home Improvement & Sports, Amazon India.

Leveraging Amazon’s massive base of 300 million active users, the partnership also integrates with Prime benefits, offering EMI options, 24/7 support, and exclusive member benefits and rewards. Amazon’s advanced recommendation engine and high conversion rates will further connect FITPASS with fitness enthusiasts nationwide.

Globally, Amazon has redefined subscription services, starting with ‘Subscribe with Amazon’ in 2017, which featured brands like The Wall Street Journal and Dropbox. This partnership marks Amazon’s first foray into subscription-based fitness services in India, combining its global expertise with FITPASS’ robust network to create a new category tailored for the Indian market.

This landmark alliance comes at a crucial point, as India witnesses an unprecedented surge in health consciousness. With millions now demanding accessible fitness solutions, FITPASS and Amazon are not just meeting a market need—they’re fundamentally redefining how an entire nation pursues wellness, meeting the country’s growing demand for flexible fitness solutions.

Aditya Birla Academy and Mpower Promote Youth Mental Health with The Happy Place Festival

Mumbai, October 9th, 2025: In an age dominated by social media validation, online gaming pressures, and digital fatigue, young people are facing unprecedented mental health challenges. According to the National Mental Health Survey of India, nearly 1 in 7 adolescents aged 13–17 years’ experience mental health issues, yet fewer than 10% receive adequate support. Experts warn that the combination of online comparison, academic stress, and emotional isolation has made it critical to begin mental health awareness at the school level—where resilience, empathy, and help-seeking behaviours can be cultivated early.

happy place

To encourage open dialogue and build emotional literacy among students, Aditya Birla World Academy (ABWA), in collaboration with Mpower—an initiative of the Aditya Birla Education Trust—hosted”, a “The Happy Place: Inside Out 2.0n inter-school festival designed to normalize conversations around mental health and self-expression.

Held ahead of World Mental Health Day, the festival brought together 212 students from 16 schools across Mumbai and neighbouring regions. Through creative formats including drama, dance, poetry, short film, art, singing, and extempore speech, participants explored this year’s theme, “Inside Out”—an invitation to acknowledge one’s emotions, express them authentically, and find confidence in individuality.

The Happy Place is an extension of what we nurture every day at Aditya Birla World Academy — an environment where emotional well-being is valued as much as academic excellence, said Ms. Shalini John, Principal, Aditya Birla World Academy. Through initiatives like The Happy Place, students engage creatively — through dance, drama, poetry, and other expressive forms — to explore their emotions and connect meaningfully with one another. This integration has fostered a culture where children feel safe to express themselves, support their peers, and approach challenges with empathy and resilience. The theme Inside Out 2.0 – An Upgrade on Emotional Awareness encouraged students to look within with honesty and authenticity. It helped us nurture not just confident and capable individuals, but a compassionate community where mental well-being is embraced as a shared priority. The Happy Place was created to give our students exactly that space — to celebrate expression, empathy, and emotional strength.”

“Children today are growing up in a world where digital comparison and constant connectivity often shape their sense of self,” said Ms Parveen Shaikh, President, Mpower “Our Minds Matter curriculum has shown that when mental health education begins early, it changes everything — over 80% of students report better stress management, greater confidence, and stronger academic engagement. Initiatives like The Happy Place build on that foundation by taking emotional learning beyond the classroom. They encourage students to speak openly, express creatively, and understand that mental health is not a taboo but a shared responsibility. The earlier we start these conversations, the more resilient and empathetic our young people will become.”

The interschool festival, conceptualized and led by ABWA students, saw remarkable interpretations of the theme. Performances such as “Unmute: The Emotional Reboot” and “Messy Minds, Textured Truths” encouraged participants to translate emotional experiences

into creative expression—turning introspection into art. Judges praised the originality, empathy, and insight reflected across entries.

Among the schools that participated, Bombay International School, JBCN International School, Oshiwara, and RIMS International School, Vashi, engaged enthusiastically throughout the event. Across all activities, students explored their emotions deeply and creatively, showing that conversations about feelings, vulnerability, and resilience can be both meaningful and enjoyable.

The event also aimed to break the stigma surrounding mental health discussions within school environments. By framing emotional well-being as a shared journey rather than a taboo topic, The Happy Place exemplified how schools can act as catalysts for cultural change—helping students develop both self-awareness and empathy.

ABWA and Mpower plan to continue collaborating on youth-focused initiatives that combine creativity with emotional education, reinforcing the message that mental health is as vital as academic success.
