Is a Ghost Lurking in Sai Darshan Society?
March 25, 2025: Sony SAB’s popular show ‘Wagle Ki Duniya – Nayi Peedhi, Naye Kisse’ has always depicted the challenges, joys and emotions of everyday life of middle-class families in a very interesting way. In the previous episodes, the Wagle family found themselves in a difficult situation when Sakhi (Chinmayi Salvi) took over the responsibility of handling an important client in place of Kiara. Although Rajesh (Sumit Raghavan) as a father was concerned about Sakhi’s safety, Sakhi’s determination to follow her own path created a tense atmosphere in the house.
But just as Sai Darshan Society heaves a sigh of relief, a strange shadow looms over them. This week’s story takes a chilling turn when security guard Tiwari spots a ghostly figure in the society garden, leaving the society members terrified. Things get worse when a thermal camera video captures some mysterious scenes. It doesn’t stop there — soon Harshad’s (Amit Soni) strange behavior creates a stir in the society. It seems as if some unseen force is controlling him. At the same time, Atharva (Shehan Kapahi) and Sakhi also come under the influence of this ghost. The entire Sai Darshan Society members unite and try to unravel this mystery.
Is there really a ghost in the society or is this part of some deep conspiracy? Will Rajesh be able to save his children and the society from this unknown power?
Sumeet Raghavan essaying the role of Rajesh Wagle said, “Wagle Ki Duniya has always kept the viewers hooked to the little moments of life. This week’s story has an exciting twist where the lives of ordinary people take a supernatural turn. The safety of the family and society is of utmost importance to Rajesh but when he is confronted by a force beyond logic, it tests his courage and faith. It will be interesting to know whether this ghost is dangerous for the family or is it a friendly ghost!”

Hari Prasad Chaurasia, and Prabhakar and Diwakar Kashyap on vocals, trained in the Banaras Gharana under Pt. Rajan-Sajan Mishra, as they presented their eagerly awaited festival performance debut.
The evening came to a close with a performance by Padma Bhushan Pandit Budhaditya Mukherjee, the world-renowned sitarist from the Imdadkhani Gharana. Known for his dynamic style and over 2800 global performances, Pandit Mukherjee said, “To perform at the Shriram Shankarlal Music Festival is truly an honour. It’s a space that has nurtured the finest of classical music over decades, and I am humbled to be part of it this year.”
The festival concluded on Sunday, 23rd March, with a performance by renowned khayal vocalist Pandit Vinayak Torvi, followed by a grand finale by Padma Vibhushan awardee Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, whose performance brought the festival to a spectacular close, celebrating his unmatched contribution to Indian classical music. Ahead of his performance, Pt. Torvi expressed, “Indian classical music is not just a performance, but a spiritual experience. The Shriram Shankarlal Music Festival captures this essence beautifully, and it is a joy to be part of an event that continues to keep this tradition alive for audiences across the world.”

It is always a privilege to perform alongside the exceptional ensemble they bring on stage each year. I look forward to sharing my music with the audience and continuing to uphold this tradition.”

Gramiyaa’s RS 7.2 Crore Funding Fuels Market Plans
25th March 2025: Gramiyaa, a vertically integrated cold-pressed oil brand, has raised Rs 7.2 crore in an equity Pre-Series A round led by Homegrown Ventures, alongside Campus Fund and Mumbai Angels. Demonstrating strong investor confidence, all three investors have reinvested in the company just a year after the seed round in March 2024. This move highlights the growing demand for non-refined, high-quality oils in India and reinforces Gramiyaa’s leadership in this evolving category.
Gramiyaa is set to achieve ₹36 crore in annual recurring revenue (ARR) by March 2025, further strengthening its position as the go-to brand in India’s evolving cold-pressed oil market. With this new round, the company is poised to expand production, build brand awareness, and solidify its leadership in the segment.
Founded by third-generation oil maker Sibi Manivannan, Gramiyaa is a wood cold-pressed oils. The company operates its own state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, ensuring consistency, hygiene, and process integrity.
With this fresh capital infusion, Gramiyaa is expanding its production capacity to 4 lakh litres per month, positioning itself as the largest producer in the segment. To support this growth, the company is enhancing its sourcing capabilities and streamlining manufacturing processes to deliver consistent, high-quality oils at scale. This expansion will also strengthen Gramiyaa’s distribution channels, including its D2C platform, offline retail, and its fastest-growing sales driver — quick commerce. These efforts will enable the brand to meet rising consumer demand more efficiently and effectively.
“The cold-pressed oil category in India is no longer a niche; it’s evolving into a robust market driven by consumer demand,” said Nader Amiri, General Partner at Homegrown Ventures. “Gramiyaa isn’t just riding this wave; they’re shaping it by setting new benchmarks in quality and transparency. Reinvesting in them was an easy decision given their exceptional team and remarkable progress.“
While cold-pressed oils have historically been associated with small-scale production and fragmented supply chains, Gramiyaa is redefining the category through structure and scale. By prioritizing vertical integration and manufacturing excellence, Gramiyaa ensures consumers receive high-quality oils made from premium seeds—free from the inconsistencies that often affect the segment.
Mohamed Yaseen, Co-Founder of Gramiyaa, stated, “This investment reinforces our commitment to owning our production process, which is key to maintaining consistent quality as we scale. The funds will also support our efforts to build brand awareness and further establish Gramiyaa as a leader in the healthy cooking oils segment.”
As health concerns rise both in India and globally, consumers are increasingly shifting towards healthier food choices. Gramiyaa’s commitment to producing pure, high-quality oils addresses this growing demand, positioning the company as a key player in promoting healthier cooking alternatives.
GoDaddy Sets New Standard with 90-Day Automated SSL Certificate Offering
March 25, 2025 – GoDaddy has announced the launch of 90-day reissuance, fully installed and managed Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates with five encryption refreshes annually, making it the first certificate authority to offer this time-saving solution.
SSL certificates are essential for anyone with a website, especially small businesses, entrepreneurs and larger businesses. They protect sensitive customer data and maintain trust in online transactions. SSLs authenticate the identity of a website and encrypt information sent to the server.
Currently, many SSLs purchased from certificate authorities require manual re-installation over the lifecycle of a one-year certificate. This process can be time-consuming, require external support, and fall to the bottom of busy entrepreneurs’ to-do lists. Now, with a GoDaddy fully Managed SSL, a do-it-for-you service, customers no longer need to worry about these cumbersome steps. GoDaddy handles every aspect of SSL lifecycle management, from installation to issuance and renewal—delivering effortless website encryption and protection.
GoDaddy’s 90-day SSL certificates automatically renew and reinstall every three months, eliminating the manual steps typically required by other SSL solutions. This fully automated process not only reduces the burden for website owners but ensures continuous protection without disruption.
While 90-day certificates are not yet an industry requirement, GoDaddy recognizes the positive impact that SSLs with encryption that is refreshed five times per year will have on its customers’ business growth and privacy concerns. This also takes into account the role automation can play in ensuring the heavy lifting of re-installing the certificate more frequently is in the hands of the certificate provider. GoDaddy’s managed SSL certificate automates the entire process, meaning customers don’t have to manually select, install, or manage their 90-day SSL certificates, while getting the benefit of five encryption refreshes, annually.
“With over 100 million active SSL certificates, GoDaddy continues to lead the way in website security by delivering solutions that make online protection effortless,” said Apurva Palnitkar, Senior Director of Marketing at GoDaddy India. “The introduction of our automated 90-day SSL certificates, ahead of industry requirements, ensures businesses can maintain uninterrupted encryption without the burden of manual renewals. We are empowering businesses to stay secure effortlessly, allowing them to focus on growth while we handle their website security needs.”
