Swipe Crime – Rishab Chadha Unveils a Turbulent Journey as Vidhaan
Rishab Chadha Unveils a Turbulent Journey as Vidhaan in ‘Swipe Crime’: A Tale of Betrayal, Innovation, and the Web’s Dark Side
Mumbai, India/23rd December 2024 – Rishab Chadha, known for his compelling performances, takes on the role of Vidhaan in the highly anticipated series Swipe Crime. This riveting narrative dives deep into the digital age, exploring how the shimmering facade of the tech world hides dark secrets, vulnerabilities, and chaos.
Vidhaan is not just any character. He’s a young, visionary entrepreneur grappling with the fragility of trust, the weight of financial instability, and the personal cost of preserving what he cherishes most—a work of art that’s more than just a creation; it’s his soul. This story isn’t just about technology or ambition; it’s about human connections, betrayal, and the lengths one goes to for redemption.
As the series delves into the crimes that fester within the vast labyrinth of the internet, Vidhaan (Rishab) becomes a symbol of resilience and ingenuity, walking the fine line between survival and destruction. With Rishab Chadha’s nuanced portrayal, Swipe Crime promises to captivate audiences and spark dialogue about the shadows lurking in our digitally-driven lives.
Here are five tantalizing questions with Rishab Chadha that give a glimpse into the enigma of Swipe Crime:
1. Vidhaan is such a layered character. What drew you to this role?
Rishab Chadha: Honestly, Vidhaan is every bit the young entrepreneur we admire and fear becoming. He’s brilliant, driven, but also painfully human. When I read the script, I was drawn to his vulnerability—this idea that even someone so tech-savvy and seemingly untouchable could be undone by betrayal and the chaotic underbelly of the web. It’s not just his struggle; it’s his heart, his fight to save something that defines him. That was irresistible for me as an actor.
2. The series heavily explores the theme of web crime. What’s Vidhaan’s connection to the digital world?
Rishab Chadha: Vidhaan comes from a small town with a lot of dreams and aspirations, as the show precedes you’ll see how inclined he is towards using his knowledge to build something that is pathbreaking. Being foresighted, he just wants to keep all his loved ones together. His entrepreneurial journey is built on innovation, dreams and the zeal to make lives easier. The story intricately shows how the web can empower you one moment and destroy you the next. Vidhaan’s world is upended when he’s caught in a web of deceit, blackmail, and cyber manipulation.
3. Betrayal plays a significant role in the story. Can you tell us more about Vidhaan’s friendships and how they shape his journey?
Rishab Chadha: Friendships are the foundation of Vidhaan’s world, but they also become his Achilles’ heel. The series explores how those closest to him are the ones capable of the deepest betrayal. It’s heartbreaking and maddening, watching someone so brilliant crumble under the weight of trust misplaced. These betrayals aren’t just personal—they threaten his business, his identity, and his very sense of self.
4. The show touches on the intersection of technology and crime. How relevant do you think this theme is today?
Rishab Chadha: It couldn’t be more relevant. We live in an age where our entire lives—our secrets, finances, and even relationships—are stored online. Swipe Crime is a chilling reminder of how vulnerable we are, especially when technology is used against us. It’s a wake-up call for every young person who believes they’re invincible behind a screen. The series doesn’t just entertain; it makes you question how much of yourself you’re willing to expose to the digital world.
5. If you had to describe Swipe Crime in three words, what would they be?
Rishab Chadha: Thrilling, unsettling, and haunting.
With Swipe Crime, Rishab Chadha not only delivers a powerful performance but also sheds light on the intricate and often dangerous realities of the modern tech-driven world. The series is more than just entertainment—it’s a scandalous exposé on the fragility of trust, the cost of ambition, and the perilous double-edged sword of technology.
Catch Swipe Crime on Amazon mx player, and prepare to be drawn into a story that’s as gripping as it is cautionary.

GD Goenka Group Celebrates 30 Glorious Years of Excellence with GD Goenka Confluence 2024
New Delhi, December 23, 2024: The GD Goenka Group, a pioneer in the education sector, proudly celebrated its 30th anniversary with GD Goenka Confluence 2024, a landmark event held at GD Goenka University, Sohna Road.
This three-day gathering brought together principals and educators from across the GD Goenka network to honour the Group’s remarkable legacy and envision the future of education. Marking three decades of innovation, growth, and impact, the event served as a platform to reflect on the Group’s journey from its inception in 1994 to becoming one of India’s most respected education brands.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Nipun Goenka, Managing Director of GD Goenka Group, said,’‘ Today, we come together not just to honor the legacy of three transformative decades but to celebrate the shared dreams that continue to shape our future. At GD Goenka, education is not just about academics; it’s about touching lives, sparking curiosity, and nurturing leaders of tomorrow. Confluence 2024 stands as a beautiful reflection of our journey—one driven by a passion for excellence, innovation, and wholistic growth. The conversations we have had today with our esteemed guests inspire us further to create a learning experience that empowers every student to thrive in a world full of possibilities. Together, we reaffirm our belief in the boundless potential of education to change lives.’’
The event featured an array of engaging sessions and activities. Day 1 set a celebratory tone with powerful speeches by eminent personalities including the Former Union Minister for Women and Child Development, Smt. Smriti Irani.
Complimenting the Group’s transformative role in education, Smt. Irani said,’’My relationship with the Goenka family goes back a decade, and I am here today because they gave me the opportunity to speak to leaders of 120 schools. The biggest challenge in education isn’t just how many students pass, but how many remember what they were taught. Cognition is about perceiving, remembering, and presenting information. We must teach students to reflect on evidence, respect different viewpoints, and revisit stories to find new aspects. Our future depends on students who can articulate and reflect, turning our demographic dividend into a strength.”
The Group also launched the Goenkan Gazette, a comprehensive magazine that showcases the achievements and events of the GD Goenka Schools across 20 states and Union Territories. With nearly 200,000 students, this publication captures the vibrant activities and collaborations within the GD Goenka Group of Schools.
Furthermore, Mr. Boman Irani, a celebrated actor captivated the audience with his insights on creativity and perseverance.
“Sometimes it’s good to say no, even to yourself, when lured by the perks of success. Whether in movies, teaching, or any field, becoming a celebrity can change how you walk, but don’t let it change your soul. When you achieve something, remember there’s always more to learn and new goals to set. Don’t compare yourself to others who seem more advantaged. Keep striving and stay true to your core,’’ said Mr. Irani.
In addition, Dr. Kiran Bedi, India’s first woman IPS officer shared her inspiring vision of leadership and ethics.
‘’I would like to thank the entire Goenka family for their warm invitation. Every child has the potential to excel, and it is essential to understand and support their individual needs. To ensure the holistic development of children, parents and schools must come together. Parents play a crucial role in organising activities and managing time after school, while teachers should stay informed about their students’ activities outside school hours. By fostering open, one-on-one dialogue with parents, schools can build more meaningful relationship and enhance learning outcomes, ultimately benefiting the child’s overall growth,’’ said Dr. Bedi.
Day 1 of the event also featured distinguished personalities, including Mr. Anil Rai Gupta, Chairman and Managing Director of Havells India Limited, who shared his insights, and Mr. Gaurav Kapoor, a renowned stand-up comedian, who captivated and entertained the audience with his performance.
Day 2 focused on holistic education, featuring an enlightening session by BK Sister Shivani, a renowned spiritual leader, on values and inner peace in education.
“We often seek perfection in the world around us, believing it will bring us inner peace, but true happiness comes from within. The COVID-19 pandemic from 2019 to 2024 has brought significant changes, especially in the minds of our children, highlighting the importance of prioritising meditation in schools to foster calmness and resilience in an ever-evolving world. Today, stress and being busy have become symbols of success, but we must remember that true fulfilment lies inside,” said Sister Shivani.
Additionally, there were insights into future educational trends by Dr. Joseph Emmanuel, Chief Executive & Secretary, CISCE, and an engaging interaction with Ms. Tulsi Kumar, Playback Singer, Actress and alumna of the institution.
This was followed by Mr. Bhaichung Bhutia, former Indian football team captain, delving into the significance of sports and teamwork, and Mr. Subhash Gangaram Talekar, President, Mumbai Dabbawala Association, who shared his inspiring journey.

Signature Global Emerges as Top Developer along Dwarka Expressway with highest supply post pandemic: Square Yards
New Delhi, December 23, 2024 – Signature Global has emerged as the market leader in the Dwarka Expressway region, as per a recent report by Square Yards which pegs the total annual residential new supply along Dwarka Expressway at 10,000-units per year since 2020, compared to 5,000–7,000 new units launched per year in the pre-pandemic period.
According to Square Yards, Signature Global has the highest share of new launches in the past four years. Its flagship premium project- ‘De-luxe DXP’- located at Sector 37D, has helped it cement its strong presence alongside Dwarka Expressway. The premium residential project, spread over 16.65 acres, offers 1008 units across eight towers, featuring 3BHK, 3.5BHK, 4.5BHK apartments, and penthouses. The company received an overwhelming response for this project earlier this year with sales booking exceeding to the tune of over ₹3,600 crore for Deluxe DXP.
The company has a strong pipeline of 32.2 million square feet of saleable area in its forthcoming projects some of which are also located along Dwarka Expressway. Currently, it is developing 16.4 million square feet of ongoing projects.
Dwarka Expressway has become a prime destination for the real estate sector luring top developers to its fold. Besides Signature Global, several well-known developers have also launched a large number of units alongside Dwarka Expressway, which reinforces the region’s growing appeal among leading real estate players. These include the likes of M3M, Conscient One, Tata Realty, Sobha Realty, Godrej, Indiabulls, Hero Realty, BPTP, Max Estates, Emaar and Adani Realty among others
In terms of price appreciation too, Dwarka Expressway has witnessed a significant jump. According to Square Yards report, in 2024, property prices along Dwarka Expressway saw a significant 29% rise compared to the previous year, with current average rates ranging from Rs. 12,000 to Rs. 14,000 per sq. ft. Several leading developers have launched projects that exceed these price benchmarks.
On the development, Mr. Pradeep Aggarwal, Founder & Chairman of Signature Global (India) Ltd., says, “Location remains the cornerstone for buyers and investors in the housing market. Dwarka Expressway has emerged as a real estate hotspot due to its seamless connectivity across Delhi NCR and Gurugram, coupled with immense growth potential. According to a recent CREDAI–Colliers–LiasesForas report, regions like Dwarka Expressway, Golf Course Extension Road, and Sohna Road have witnessed over 50% annual price appreciation, underscoring their strong demand and investment appeal.
At Signature Global, we have strategically positioned ourselves in these high-growth zones. Our premium projects, De Luxe DXP in Sector 37D and Twin Tower DXP in Sector 84, Gurugram, along Dwarka Expressway, and Daxin at South of Gurugram (Sohna) reflect this vision. The successful launches of De Luxe DXP, Daxin and Twin Tower DXP reaffirms the unmatched potential and buyer interest in this thriving corridor.”
Square Yards’ market insights also reveal that investor interest in Dwarka Expressway marginally exceeds that of end-users. Approximately 50% of homebuyers are now targeting properties priced above Rs. 1 crore, with a notable 16% of this group focusing on properties exceeding Rs. 2crore. Property prices in the region have experienced steady appreciation, with values nearly doubling since 2019.
The recent completion of the Gurugram stretch, the near completion of the Delhi stretch, and the operationalization of the Central Peripheral Road have markedly enhanced connectivity. These developments have improved access to key locations such as the airport, commercial hubs, the DMIC corridor, and NH-48, further bolstering stakeholder confidence. With buyer sentiment demonstrating strong positive momentum, Dwarka Expressway is well-positioned to solidify its role as a pivotal player in Gurugram’s real estate landscape. The region presents substantial and varied opportunities for both investors and end-users, reinforcing its status as a dynamic and promising micro-market within Delhi NCR.
