With this partnership, Hunar and Shilpa Shetty have come together to realise their shared vision of financial independence for one lakh Indian women by next year through better skilling and entrepreneurship opportunities.

Hunar Online Courses, a skilling platform with a community of over 20 lakh women, will deploy the funds to scale its reach across the nation and expand its course offering.

Hunar Online Courses, a SkillTech online learning platform that empowers women by helping them learn new skills in fashion, food, photography, and interior design, and become financially independent, today announced it has joined hands with the actress and entrepreneur Shilpa Shetty Kundra as its investor and brand ambassador.

Through this partnership, Hunar aims to cement and scale the four pillars of its platform – offering a holistic and outcome-focused learning experience, leveraging and building its vast community, providing gigs and work-from-home opportunities, and creating business opportunities for its students.

Hunar has recognised the massive potential of this underserved market of more than 340 million Indian women. It intends that this collaboration will enable one lakh Indian women, to achieve financial independence by next year through better skilling and entrepreneurship opportunities. Since its inception in 2018, it has been uniquely positioned and supported by a loyal community of 20 lakh+ women to become the singular authority on skilling and empowering Indian women, helping them become micropreneurs / solopreneurs.

Hunar’s community consists of women who harbour similar desires and challenges. Through this platform, they are presented with opportunities that help them come together to engage, learn, share and support each other.

Shilpa Shetty Kundra, Bollywood Actress, Health and Wellness Influencer, and Entrepreneur, said, “Empowering the women of India with skills to become financially independent has always been a dream for me. As an independent woman, I believe that financial independence and having a personal source of income are important for the woman, her family, and the country. When I attended the Hunar Fashion Show as a Chief Guest, I saw first-hand the impact that Hunar’s team was creating, and I wanted to join them as an investor and a brand ambassador.”

Nishtha Yogesh, Founder and CEO of Hunar Online Courses, said, “India has the potential to grow its GDP exponentially when India’s women are provided with the right platform to learn, grow, and earn an income. Women want to be financially independent and recognised for their skills but do not have easy access to opportunities to learn or earn. Our goal has always been to offer a safe and encouraging ecosystem wherein Indian women can learn multiple skills from home, create their designs or products and gain recognition and financial independence. We are excited to have Shilpa join our journey. She is a strong supporter of our mission, and together we hope to encourage more and more women to bring out the entrepreneurs in them.”

Through its wide array of courses in Fashion, Food, Beauty and Photography, Hunar aims to enable and empower these women by lending them the required support at every stage of their journey through expert faculty, dedicated student guides, entrepreneurship mentors and access to a vast community of like-minded women. Additionally, Hunar’s students get ample exposure and guidance through celebrity mentors like the four-time national award-winning fashion designer Neeta Lulla and acclaimed photographer Avinash Gowariker so that the students get to learn from the best.

Earlier, Hunar joined hands with national brands like ITC Aashirvaad Atta and Naturals Salon to empower women. Recently, it held its annual fashion show, for which it received 10,000 design submissions, 200+ students were selected to display their collections in front of more than 15,000 audiences, and more than one million votes were received from all over India. Also, it hosted India’s largest online graduation ceremony in India, where over 6,000 women received their certificates and gained national recognition in one day.

Viaan Industries ties with Zee TV to Present Season-2 of India’s 1st-Ever Interactive LIVE Gameshow – ‘LagaoBoli'

Entrepreneur Raj Kundra and his celebrity wife Shilpa Shetty Kundra founded Viaan Industries Ltd, a popular gaming, entertainment & technology company, has announced their partnership with Zee TV to air a unique live, interactive game show called ‘LagaoBoli’. The format is an exclusive IP of Viaan Industries Ltd and will start airing from 18th August 2019 on Zee TV.

“LagaoBoli” is a new concept where TV viewers can bid LIVE for a brand new car or other products from the comfort of their home via the LagaoBoli app or website www.lagaoboli.com. The person who places the lowest unique bid will see their picture; name and location LIVE on the TV channel. The bidding rules are such that the lowest unique bid with two decimal places wins the product. The game show will be hosted by Paritosh Tripathi and his crew who entertain the audience with spontaneous wit and humor. As part of the show, Paritosh also interviews celebrities every week. The show premieres on Zee TV at 6pm on 18th August 2019.

The germination of the show’s concept came from an insight that TV viewers sitting back at home often identify themselves with game show participants and feel an impulse to participate in a thrilling experience of competing for a prize that offers spot gratification. LagaoBoli gives this opportunity to everyone with a phone to be a part of a televised live game show.

Viaan Industries has not only developed the show but also the technology that runs the show’s auction platform. Every episode will have three products to bid for and 25 bids will be given free to all those who sign up to participate. Beyond the free bids, viewers can buy extra bid credits from the app or website. All bids start at just 0.01 paisa!

Commenting on the development, Mr. Raj Kundra, CMD, Viaan Industries Ltd. said:
“Viaan Industries Limited is excited to present to television audiences the second season to India’s first live game show to be aired from 18th August 2019 on India’s leading entertainment channel Zee TV. In this live game show format, the audience has an opportunity to take home a brand new car every week. LagaoBoli is a 24/7 app bidding platform where people can bid and buy brand new products at up to 90% off their retail prices. Our partnerships with leading media and entertainment companies – both domestic and global, gives us the necessary momentum to continue our efforts towards establishing a strong presence in the gaming, licensing & animation space in the years to come.”

Aparna Bhosle, Zee TV Business Head said, “In the course of our experimentation with new formats, we came across LagaoBoli – a unique concept developed by Raj Kundra and Shilpa Shetty Kundra’s Viaan Industries that involves and includes viewers sitting back at home in a LIVE interactive game show. The proposition of winning cars and other expensive products week on week at throw-away prices through the concept of reverse bidding where the lowest unique bid walks away with the product is bound to create excitement amongst our audiences.”
