GOD Launches As The Ultimate Hybrid In Luxury Couture & Modern Vedic Astrology

GOD, a new luxury brand, has officially launched on February 1st at 9:00 PM (IST), redefining fashion by blending ancient Vedic astrology with modern streetwear. GOD goes beyond style, offering a wardrobe that aligns with an individual’s life journey, fate, and energies.

Fate, Fashion, and the Power of Color

Google Trends has shown a 300% increase in searches for zodiac clothing and astrology fashion over the past five years. According to Vedic astrology, colors and authentic gemstones have the power to influence energy and fortune. Even modern psychology aligns with this, associating green with prosperity, blue with calmness, and red with confidence. GOD ensures that every outfit is both meaningful and stunning.

Personalized Energy Adjustments Through Fashion

GOD’s in-house astrologers perform a detailed analysis based on an individual’s astrological chart, numerology, and palmistry, using birth details to craft personalized garments. These outfits incorporate authentic gemstones, metals, fabrics, and colors that align with the wearer’s energy, designed to enhance well-being, relationships, health, and success.

“We are filling the gap in the personalized couture industry by integrating a person's cosmic alignment to their apparel. We are committed to serve the best quality fabric and gemstones with elegant designs that give it a modern streetwear touch.” Anchal Rai, Co-founder and CDO (Chief Design Officer) of GOD 

“Fashion has always been a statement of self. With GOD, we take it a step further—every piece is curated to align with the wearer’s cosmic energies, transforming fashion from mere expression into a journey of self-discovery.” Arya Pratap, Co-founder & CEO of GOD

The Future of Personalized Luxury

GOD is more than just a luxury brand—it is a revolution that merges personal energy, spirituality, and craftsmanship. Every piece is designed to reflect fate and undiscovered secrets, creating an entirely new category of cosmic luxury fashion.

Stirring Up Change, One Recipe At A Time: “Gaanth Pe Dhyan’ Now Has A Cookbook, To Encourage Women To Screen For Breast Cancer

With one woman diagnosed with breast cancer every four minutes in India, overcoming barriers to cancer care is vital as most cases can be treated effectively if detected early. 75% of Indian women avoid or neglect screenings, and 60% feel uncomfortable discussing breast cancer with friends and family, according to a survey[1]. Through the ‘Gaanth Pe Dhyan’ (‘Focus on the Lump’) campaign, Tata Trusts encouraged women to do just that – extend the same attention to checking their breasts for lumps as they do to preventing lumps in their food - transforming a simple kitchen task into an act of introspection and empowerment.

The large-scale campaign recently culminated in the ‘Gaanth Pe Dhyan’ cookbook, a first-of-its-kind endeavour featuring a collection of recipes, with the unique purpose of ‘stirring up change, one recipe at a time.’ Available online and free to download, the cookbook has been mindfully crafted with recipes that naturally lend themselves to lumps. The recipes have been sourced from expert Indian chefs-turned-campaign-ambassadors, including MasterChefs Shipra Khanna and Santa Sarmah, as well as Chefs Ananya Banerjee, Sailaja Aechuri, Priya Gupta, Varaprasad Karthyaeni, and Laeba Ashraf.

The cookbook was reviewed by renowned nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar and eminent breast cancer oncologist, Dr. Rajendra Badwe, in a podcast hosted by Shilpi Ghosh from Tata Trusts that explored the intersection of breast cancer, women’s well-being & nutrition. The cookbook is an extension of the ‘social experiment’ film ‘Gaanth Pe Dhyan’, featuring Chef Sanjeev Kapoor, launched by the Trusts last year which evoked significant interest among youth and working professionals across the country.  

It was complemented by another awareness film, involving women street-food vendors in Mumbai, to drive home the need for early detection and regular breast self-examination. This approach also revealed that while avoiding lumps in food was essential for their livelihood, there was limited awareness that lumps in the breasts could be indicative of cancer. Taking the campaign on-ground, with the support of doctors from Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai and other reputed regional medical institutions, the Trusts also raised breast cancer awareness across several corporates, holding screening camps that led to further investigation for cases that may have otherwise gone undetected. 

Gaanth Pe Dhyan has secured multiple accolades in India and internationally, including being ranked second in PRovoke's Global Creative Index 2024.

TCCF also runs a state-of-the-art Oncopathology Lab in Mumbai, which focuses on cancer diagnosis and upskilling pathologists. The organisation is committed to down-staging the disease by helping detect it early and reducing the cancer burden by focusing on awareness, screening, offering quality care and improving the quality of life of cancer patients and their families through palliative care.

Marriott International And Accenture In India Launch Transformative Skill Development Program For Youth In Hospitality

~Program in collaboration with Don Bosco Tech Society and Pratham Education Foundation to bridge the employment gap~

Marriott International and Accenture in India, have come together to launch a robust initiative aimed at empowering youth by providing them with the skills and resources needed to succeed in the hospitality sector and beyond.

As part of the four-month program, selected participants will receive training in hospitality and basic life skills for two months from non-profit partners funded by Accenture. Additionally, they will get mentorship and soft skills training through employee engagement activities.  Marriott International will then offer paid internships to eligible candidates from the training program across its 155 properties in India for the remaining two months. By fostering an inclusive environment, Marriott International and Accenture in India aim to create pathways to better job prospects, bridging the gap between untapped talent and employment opportunities in the dynamic hospitality sector.

In a world where securing a job is a cornerstone for stability and growth, having the right skillset can make all the difference in achieving one’s dream career. However, not everyone can pursue higher education and additional skill-building that can enhance their professional prospects. Recognising this gap, Marriott International and Accenture in India are focusing on skill development in key areas. This collaborative project is designed to prepare participants for entry-level jobs in the industry and will give young individuals a chance to gain hands-on experience while earning a livelihood.

Talking about this new initiative, Ms. Ranju Alex, Area Vice President – South Asia, Marriott International, says: “The core values of this organisation are deeply rooted in the belief that everyone deserves equal opportunities. Unfortunately, barriers often prevent many talented individuals from pursuing their aspirations. To address this, we are proud to offer a two-month paid internship programme following the completion of the skill development process. This initiative not only provides young talent with hands-on experience but also ensures financial support for every participant, empowering them to take confident steps towards building rewarding careers in the hospitality sector. By investing in their growth, we aim to cultivate a more inclusive and skilled workforce.”

Ajay Vij, Senior Country Managing Director at Accenture in India commented, “We are excited to collaborate with Marriott International on this project. The initiative furthers our objective of creating impact at scale and reflects our commitment to providing our youth with the resources and opportunities needed to be employment ready in today's competitive environment. We are not only investing in their future but also investing in building a sustainable future for the communities we live and operate in.”

The project is dedicated to empowering the next generation by breaking down economic and social barriers that hinder professional growth. Together, both brands aspire to spark a larger movement towards impactful corporate social responsibility, setting a benchmark for industry-wide initiatives.
