I feel the makers were very clear in their head what they wanted and how they wanted to approach the second season”, shares Shantanu Maheshwari
Mumbai, 31 October 2023: Amazon miniTV – Amazon’s free streaming service presented with the best Navratri gift to the viewers with the second season of Campus Beats. This season delves deeper into the budding passion between Ishaan and Netra, following the journey of students at the Mumbai University of Movement and Dance, a.k.a. M.A.D as they cope with new obstacles and turmoil, engage in mushy romance, and discover the mystery. After the success of the first season, Shantanu Maheshwari, who plays Ishaan in this dance drama, shared his thoughts about the second season.
While talking about his experience shooting for the second season, Shantanu said, “I had an amazing time shooting the second season of Campus Beats. People are often skeptical about the second season’s release, but I believe the creators were clear in their heads about what they wanted and how they wanted to approach the second season. The script was fantastic. I loved how we dove deep into personal equations in the second season, showing characters getting involved in their decision-making and ability and then doubting those abilities as well as the personal equation under scrutiny. That is something I love about season two, the way in the first season we have established everyone and their relationship and how we dive deep into their relationships in season two. At the same time, not stopping the overall arc of the story. So yeah, I loved it. I can also say that the audience enjoyed it, which is why season three is being requested.”
The dance drama, directed by Palki Malhotra, stars Shantanu Maheshwari, Shruti Sinha, Sahaj Singh Chahal, Tanvi Gadkari, Harsh Dingwanii, Tanya Bhushan, Dhanshree Yadav, Teriya Magar, Adnaan Khan, and Rohan Pal in pivotal roles. Campus Beats is streaming on Amazon miniTV. You can download the Amazon miniTV on Playstore, or watch within the Amazon Shopping App or on Fire TV.

Premium brand Strch offers stylish nylon activewear
INDIA – October 2023: Introducing Strch, India’s softest activewear brand set to redefine the way you experience fashion, fitness, and comfort. Founded by Prithvi Bhagat, a fourth-generation entrepreneur from the esteemed Gulabdas Group, Strch aims to reinvent how Indians engage with an active lifestyle, by leveraging nylon’s superior quality to allow consumers to stretch to their full potential. Unlike most other players in the industry, Strch activewear caters equally to both men and women with its diverse range of stylish joggers, polo shirts, crop tops, sports bras, shorts, skorts, and more.
“As a first-time entrepreneur, I am thrilled to introduce Strch and share our vision for elevating activewear and an active lifestyle in India. India has long been known as a hotspot for fashion- conscious consumers, yet premium activewear has often been an exception. In a nation with a burgeoning appetite for fitness and fashion, Strch was born out of the necessity for high-quality, homegrown activewear,” says Prithvi Bhagat, Founder & CEO, of Strch. “With Strch, we aim to create a journey that is authentic, fashionably relevant, and, most importantly, comfortable.”
While the Indian market boasts of numerous Indian activewear brands, it is lacking in premium feel and comfort due to the use of polyester. At Strch, the exclusive use of the superior nylon material, that is found in international activewear, ensures a luxurious fit and an unparalleled level of comfort & quality.
The brand’s advanced performance properties and fashionable features cater to the distinct needs and preferences of its customers, including:
Stylish Design & Colours: thoughtfully curated to allow you to mix-and-match with ease, incorporating your personal style – whether its pastels, neons, open back, or loose bottoms
Storage Pockets – for small essentials
Durability – nylon can withstand rigorous use and frequent wash
Lightweight – The lightweight nature of nylon clothing allows for unrestricted movement
Quick-Dry – nylon has a low absorbency rate thus allows sweat or moisture to evaporate quickly
Wrinkle-Free – no ironing needed
Anti-Odour – a special finish to reduce unpleasant odours
However, what truly sets Strch apart is its commitment to providing activewear designed for the Indian body type. Strch clothing offers a comfortable fit in the stomach area and features spandex for extra stretch, allowing you to embrace slight changes your body may undergo while ensuring your clothes don’t stick uncomfortably.
Whether you’re hitting the gym, going for a walk, or doing yoga, Strch allows your body to stretch to its full potential.

Why all languages have words for ‘this’ and ‘that’
New Delhi, October 31, 2023: Languages around the world have words for ‘this’ and ‘that’ according to new research from an international team, led by the University of East Anglia.
Researchers studied more than 1,000 speakers of 29 different languages to see how they use demonstratives – words that show where something is in relation to a person talking such as ‘this cat’ or ‘that dog’.
It was previously thought that languages vary in the spatial distinctions they make – and that speakers of different languages may think in fundamentally different ways as a consequence.
But the new study shows that all of the languages tested make the same spatial distinctions using words like ‘this’ or ‘that’ based on whether they can reach the object they are talking about.
Lead researcher Prof Kenny Coventry, from UEA’s School of Psychology, said; “There are over 7,000 diverse languages spoken across the world.
“We wanted to find out how speakers of a wide range of languages use the oldest recorded words in all of language – spatial demonstratives, such as ‘this’ or ‘that’.”
The 45-strong international team studied 29 languages from around the world including English, Spanish, Norwegian, Japanese, Mandarin, Tzeltal, and Telugu.
They tested over 1,000 speakers to see how they use demonstratives in their language to describe where objects are across a range of different spatial configurations.
Statistical analysis revealed the same mapping between reachable and non-reachable objects and demonstratives across all languages.
Prof Coventry said: “We found that in all the languages we tested, there is a word for objects that are within reach of the speaker, like ‘this’ in English, and a word for objects out of reach – ‘that’.
“This distinction may explain the early evolutionary origin of demonstratives as linguistic forms,” he added.
This research was led by the University of East Anglia in collaboration with researchers at 32 other international institutions including Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, Germany, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Aarhus University, Denmark, and the University of Buffalo, USA.
It was funded by EU H2020 ITN Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action grant agreement no. 676063 (DCOMM) awarded to Kenny R. Coventry and colleagues.
‘Spatial Communication Systems Across Languages Reflect Universal Action Constraints’ is published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour.

REDEX Group raises Dollar10M Series A funding led by Aramco Ventures
SINGAPORE, Oct 31, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – REDEX, Asia’s leading Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) solutions provider, announced today the successful completion of a USD 10 million Series A funding round.
REDEX’s mission is to accelerate the world’s transition towards renewable energy. The new funding will allow the company to expand beyond Asia, and to further innovate in streamlining and digitizing the issuance and trading of RECs.
Aramco Ventures led the investment, along with notable new investors from the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Japan. Aramco Ventures is the corporate venturing subsidiary of Aramco, the world’s leading fully integrated energy and petrochemical enterprise.
“REDEX is well positioned as the leading marketplace for I-RECs, which will enable renewable energy markets in many parts of the world. We look forward to collaborating with the REDEX team to extend this capability into new geographies,” said Bruce Niven, Executive MD, Strategic Venturing at Aramco Ventures.
Established in 2018, REDEX Group is a first-mover RECs player in Asia, offering a full suite of RECs management solutions covering asset registration, verification, trading, and retirement.
“We are witnessing tremendous growth in the adoption of RECs by brand owners striving to be 100% renewable, both for themselves and their supply chains,” said Jen-Wee Kang, Founder and CEO of REDEX.
“The demand for green energy is very real, and the number of RECs issued and retired is more than doubling year on year. Building on the trust we have established with key players in the ecosystem, REDEX is well-positioned to play a leading role in the exponential growth of RECs adoption globally.”
As a concept, RECs are very simple – the instrument traces one’s power consumption to renewable energy sources. Its simplicity is precisely why the instrument is the most convenient and practical way for companies to achieve Scope 2 neutrality.
RECs are endorsed and adopted by RE100, the main consortium of leading brand owners committed to 100% renewable electricity. The consortium was originally formed in 2014 by 13 corporate partners. Today, RE100 has more than 400 members who consume around 400 TWh of power.
REDEX believes there is great potential to apply RECs creatively in the industrial sector, like for green aluminium, steel, and cement – commodities that are covered in the starting phase of Europe’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).
In April, the company announced that it was the first API-integrated Platform Operator Account on I-REC, the world’s largest RECs registry. In June, REDEX also announced its partnership with China Southern Grid, supporting the grid operator in its role as an I-REC Issuer in China.
