Dear followers,Here I am back again after a little break. Needed some time to take a pause amid the extremely busy few weeks that have been. Somewhere along the way I realised that there is no need to rush if everyone's telling you to. You can tread growth the way you want to - it could be quiet, it could be paced, it could be mindful and it could still remain as 'you' as you'd like it to be. That it's okay to prioritize meaning over metrics. Ironically, my next guest konnected directly with this ideology of sorts. Meet Karan Singh, Director and CEO of Aristobrat in this episode of #KarishmaKonnect. Highlights for me were:- Fashion and entrepreneurship after a career in cricket and IT- How AI tools (with examples) can help reduce costs for early entrepreneurs- Why slow ain't that bad and what is effective inventory- What you need to know as a first time entrepreneurEstablished in 2019, Aristobrat embodies affordable luxury in men's apparel, committed to redefining the modern man's style with their capsule collection. The brand is headed by Karan and Neha who is the Director and Category Head at Aristobrat.

Meet two fantastic women on this episode of #KarishmaKonnect - Grace Kareem and Somia Anwar talking all about their love for books and how it got them together to start UAE's biggest used books marketplace and physical store. Located in Silicon Oasis, Dubai, Bookends is a reader's paradise with a vast collection of books from diverse genres. Bookends emerged from the creative minds of Grace Karim and Somia Anwar — two dedicated mums on a mission to satiate their children's boundless thirst for reading. They found books expensive and limited in their native language in the UAE. This sparked the idea for Bookends – the largest marketplace for preloved books, founded in 2020. After three successful years as an online store, Bookends officially opened its first physical location in Dubai Silicon Oasis in July 2023 and has been holding several interesting events and activities ever since.

Happy Sunday! On this episode, meet two young bright girls who recently participated in a competition organised by the World Alliance in partnership with the Emirates Environmental Group. They presented their innovative ideas to save the environment. Both of them tell me more about their process in this inspiring chat. While Sinchana is all set to compete for the big win in Sweden, Aliya looks forward to implementing her idea and taking it to the next level.
Water Alliance, in association with Emirates Environmental Group, have announced the winners of the 2023 edition of the RE-NEW Our World Challenge. The competition was open to students in schools across the UAE, aged between 8 and 18, with participants split into two age categories. Their work was judged based on several criteria, including impact, feasibility, innovation, and sustainability.
The exciting bit is that Sinchana Hiremath, from GEMS Our Own English High School (Dubai), who took home first place in the Senior Category, will go on to represent the UAE at the prestigious Stockholm Junior Water Prize international competition, with the finals scheduled to be held in Stockholm, Sweden, in August this year. The overall winner will receive a grand prize of $15,000 and a trophy presented by the prize’s patron, HRH Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden. Sinchana chose to focus on the issue of water pollution, and specifically the detrimental impact of microbeads. Fifteen year old Sinchana has developed a novel Microplastic Radar App to help detect harmful components in the ingredient lists of commercially available products.
Thirteen-year-old Aliya Nujum Navaz from Al Ain Juniors School (Abu Dhabi), won the challenge’s mid-age (12-14) category. Aliya’s cutting-edge solution uses drone technology to identify and target fires, serving as an alternative to traditional techniques that require and consume large amounts of water.

At 16 all we knew was I had to pass that exam the next day but here’s a brilliant teen driving purpose and impact through her unique initiative - Saathi. Studying in England, Ahana Kotibhaskar discovered the impact of period poverty on one of her trips to South Asia where she saw women often being constrained to their homes for a cycle that was very natural and humane, at the cost of affordability. She decided to launch reusable period underwear to support these women. Every Saathi underwear you buy is priced at AED 40. You buy one and Saathi donates one with the help of their partners in India. Biodegradable, compostable and made out of bamboo fabric, these underwears come in various sizes. Orders can be on their Instagram page @saathi_bt. Led by a vision that’s full of ambition and only growing, Ahana’s got a zeal unique to an entrepreneur in the making! Tune in to know more!
