Claire Noguera - CEO, Studely

23rd July 2024  Bangalore, Karnataka, India  Studely, a pioneering FinTech company headquartered in France, has announced its expansion into India. Being first of its kind, Studely will offer tailored financial solutions to Indian students pursuing higher education in France and Germany, directly addressing their challenges.

According to the Ministry of External Affairs of India, an estimated 750,000 students traveled abroad for higher education in the year 2022 and the market is projected for further growth between 2024 and 2032. Recognizing this trend and the financial challenges faced by students (as highlighted by MPOWER Financing’s Social Impact Report, where 83% of students consider it the biggest obstacle), Studely steps in to provide a one-stop solution. The brand is set to simplify financial planning and ensure a smooth and stress-free experience for aspiring Indian students and their families. The company’s core expertise lies in opening and managing EU-compliant ‘blocked accounts’ for international students, a crucial requirement for student visas as it demonstrates sufficient financial resources for their study.

Beyond accounts, Studely additionally offers logistical support like facilitating payments, finding student accommodation, and even securing health insurance among others. The user-friendly mobile app puts control at students’ fingertips, allowing them to access all these services conveniently. With Studely, Indian students can focus on their studies, not on administrative hurdles.

Since its inception in 2016, Studely has rapidly expanded its presence in over 19 countries and has assisted over 25,000 students in pursuing their education in France and Germany. In 2023, the company received the highest French recognition – an invitation by President Emmanuel Macron – a testament to its high-quality services and innovative approach. This prestigious distinction reinforces Studely’s commitment to empowering students and simplifying the path to European education.

Talking about the expansion of Studely in India, Claire Noguera, CEO, Studely said, “India is one of the fastest growing markets for students interested in pursuing higher education abroad, but this dream often remains unachievable due to financial barriers, and that’s where we step in. At Studely, our mission is to address and bridge the very evident gap and empower students to pursue their dream courses. We prioritize a seamless experience for every student by negotiating the challenges of overseas education that these students often face. Our focus is to enable students to concentrate on what really counts: their academic path. We are excited to bring our innovative financial solutions to the vibrant student community in India and we aim to grow 2x in the country by next year. Empowering each student with the correct resources and holistic support is not solely about facilitating their journey abroad, but it is essential to help unlock their full potential and pave the way for their future success.”

IIAD Hosts Inaugural Luxury Symposium for Fashion Business Management Students

IIAD Hosts Inaugural Luxury

23rd July 2024  New Delhi, Delhi, India  The Indian Institute of Art and Design (IIAD) recently hosted its Luxury Symposium, Delhi Chapter, an event designed to foster a dialogue between fashion business management students and established industry leaders from the luxury sector. The event brought together leading luminaries such as CEO of Lamborghini Delhi, Abhimanyu Mehta; Unit Head of Tangerine Skies Pvt Ltd, Sunil Negi (manufacturer of Michael Kors, COACH, and Kate Spade); Co-founder of Sunlight Chronicle, Anisha Malik; and Founder & Director of Stanley Communications, Jessica Singh.

The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally reshaped consumer behaviour across all industries, and the luxury sector is no exception. The high-end clientele now prioritise experiences and have a changing set of expectations. This presents a critical challenge for luxury brands: how can they adapt to meet these evolving demands while maintaining brand identity and a sense of exclusivity?

An alternative avenue emerges through the expanding domain of Fashion Business Management (FBM), often synonymous with Fashion Management. FBM programme at IIAD offer students comprehensive insights into luxury branding, marketing strategies, product development, and distribution channels. Events such as the Luxury Symposium serve as pivotal platforms for students to gain practical insights into the Indian luxury market. Moderated by Abhishek Verma, Associate Professor of Fashion Business Management at IIAD, the symposium, themed “The Future of the Indian Luxury Ecosystem,” provided students with firsthand perspectives on the evolving landscape of the Indian luxury market. Through interactions with panellists, the symposium facilitated meaningful exchanges of ideas among aspiring FBM students, contributing to their understanding of the sector.

Dr. Jitin Chadha, Founder & CEO of IIAD, opened the symposium by highlighting the institute’s dedication to fostering innovation and exploration since its inception in 2015. Highlighting the symposium as one of the many active initiatives, he emphasised, “Our mission has been steadfast that is to bridge the gaps and build enduring connections between design, society and industry transforming fashion business is taught, learnt and practised.”

Following this, the industry experts shed light on the complexities and evolving landscape of the Indian luxury market, offering students exclusive insights. The discussion began with a shift in the very definition of luxury. Abhimanyu Mehta, CEO of Lamborghini Delhi emphasised that luxury encompasses not just the product itself, but also the brand’s heritage, storytelling, and the experience it offers.

Jessica Singh, Founder & Director of Stanley Communications, stressed the importance of effective communication in this new era. She expressed that brands need to craft compelling narratives and leverage diverse media platforms—traditional media, influencers, events—to curate consumer perception and create trends. By a mutual consensus, it was inferred that brands must stay attuned to changing consumer preferences, aspirations, and luxury trends to remain relevant.

The discussion also addressed the challenges and opportunities within the Indian luxury ecosystem. Sunil Negi, Unit Head at Tangerine Skies Pvt Ltd, highlighted the challenges encountered by the luxury retail sector in India, emphasising the importance of traditional handicraft techniques and the invaluable skills of craftspeople. He addressed concerns regarding the impact of artificial intelligence on job displacement, asserting the necessity of preserving generational knowledge for India’s economic prosperity.

The panel also explored career prospects within the luxury sector. Jessica highlighted the abundance of opportunities in areas like PR, marketing, CGI, and performance marketing. Interestingly, a key takeaway was the potential benefits of working with external agencies. Anisha Malik, Co-founder, of Sunlight Chronicle, explained that agencies can provide fresh perspectives, access to a wider network, and cost-effectiveness compared to training in-house teams.

A significant point emerged about how today’s luxury is expanding beyond traditional fashion brands. Consumers are seeking luxury experiences across various sectors, creating exciting new opportunities for brands that can cater to this evolving demand.

The discussion also addressed the concept of exclusivity in the luxury market. Jessica explained how brands maintain exclusivity through targeted marketing campaigns, curated events, and controlled media communication. Special previews and restricted media access ensure the niche audience remains the primary focus. However, aspirational marketing strategies are also employed to cultivate a sense of desire for these products amongst a broader audience.

The symposium concluded with a lively Q&A session, addressing a wide range of student concerns. Initiatives like the luxury symposium underscore the importance of academic institutions, bridging the gaps between industry and academia. This exposure allows students to gain a deeper understanding of the intricacies of the luxury market, pushing them to decode the market’s underlying dynamics and anticipate future trends. Through such initiatives, academic institutions like IIAD position their students to become valuable contributors to the ever-evolving Indian luxury landscape. Fueled by the success of this year’s event, the symposium aims to expand its reach in the coming years.

Shaurya Mehta and Srishty Rode shine in the music video Dil Ye Dilbarro

Shaurya Mehta and Srishty

23rd July 2024  Mumbai, Maharashtra, India  Singer, composer and songwriter Shaurya Mehta has once again captured the hearts of music lovers with his latest release, the soul-stirring music video titled ‘Dil Ye Dilbarro’. The duet song features the talented Srishty Rode and has heartwarming lyrics by Kaushal Kishore, with the female vocals rendered by the melodious Rupali Jagga and male vocals & music by Shaurya himself. Known for his versatility, Shaurya has yet again proven his mettle in the industry with this captivating composition.

Speaking about the song, Shaurya shared, “My new song ‘Dil Ye Dilbarro’ has come out to be beautiful, and I myself listen to it on loop at times. I believe it will resonate with a lot of people. Also, Ladakh is a factor. I love the mountainous destination and the picturesque locales there including Pangong which was also the setting for the final sequence of 3 Idiots.” Speaking about the initial portion which starts off with him donning the Army uniform, Shaurya added “We initiated the song with the Indian Army portion as I’ve always felt our troops sacrifice everything for us including time with their loved ones and Ladakh is a constant reminder of that. It is my second song we have shot there.” More so, the music video seamlessly weaves together mesmerizing visuals with Shaurya’s enchanting melodies, creating a captivating cinematic experience. “It looks like Gerua,” a viewer described.

The song’s lyrics, coupled with its soulful composition, evoke a myriad of emotions, striking a chord with listeners. Reflecting on his experience working with the talented ensemble, Shaurya remarked, “The song is a co-creation with all of them. A solid team is needed, especially when you are attempting a major project. Srishty is talented and brings out her best on camera. Rupali is a wonderful singer, and her voice & feel elevate the song. Kaushal Bhai is a close friend and a wizard with words. Aslam Khan, the Director is also a friend and creative with bringing out the best in the cast. I thoroughly enjoyed doing this song with each one of them.”

Innovative as ever, Shaurya has pushed the boundaries of creativity with ‘Dil Ye Dilbarro’, incorporating unique elements that set the song apart. “The song begins with lines inspired by Kashmiri poems and then flows into the Hindi language. I hope people will like that as it’s an under-experimented combo, and it’s upon artists to bring different languages, dialects & cultures to the forefront,” Shaurya shared. Additionally, the decision to embrace spatial sound with Dolby Atmos adds an immersive dimension to the auditory experience, enhancing the overall richness and depth of the music.

Despite the challenges faced during the shoot, including freezing temperatures and demanding terrain, Shaurya’s dedication and passion for his craft shone through. “During the shoot, I was carrying Srishty across different shots, and I probably ended up carrying her for a kilometer in total on stones & sand in sloping terrain. Got tendonitis & and interstitial sprain after the shoot,” Shaurya laughingly reminisced. “All worth it after watching the video. No pain, no gain,” he added.

Looking ahead, Shaurya remains focused on his musical journey, with aspirations of expanding his repertoire to include singing for movies and OTT platforms. “I want to sing for movies, web shows, series, and the OTT space. I have been misquoted before that I prefer one over the other, but I do want to see a Filmfare award in my hand some day,” he affirmed, reflecting on his long-standing dream of achieving recognition in the film industry.

While Srishty Rode was heaping praises for Shaurya Mehta for making the work environment easy and comfortable, lyricist Kaushal Kishore acknowledged that Mehta gives complete creative liberty for bringing the best output. On the other hand, Rupali Jagga expressed her gratitude stating that she has never sung something like this despite being from a Kashmiri background. As the song resonates with listeners & viewers far and wide, Shaurya’s musical journey is sure to reach greater heights, leaving a mark on the hearts of music enthusiasts everywhere.
