Business Wire India

  • Worli is a preferred address for businesses seeking exclusivity and proximity
  • Art deco building with 360° views offers one-office-per-floor 

Avighna House, the newest landmark project by Avighna Group, is redefining the benchmarks of premium office spaces in Mumbai. The 19-storey building, designed in the classic art deco style with a granite façade and elegant interiors, is emerging as the preferred location in Mumbai. The 360° panoramic view of the Arabian Sea and the Mahalaxmi Racecourse make a compelling proposition for the one-office-per-floor concept.

Mumbai is ranked 7th among 10 APAC cities and a recent CBRE Asia Pacific Investor Intentions Survey rates the city as a preferred destination for cross-border investments and Worli is fast developing into a premium office hub.

Standing tall as a boutique building amidst a cluster of large-format commercial complexes in the neighbourhood, the world-class Grade-A office building has just nine units on offer for occupants, with the top two floors housing the corporate headquarters of Avighna Group. With three basements and seven podiums, each of the 11 office levels at Avighna House enjoy a clutter-free spaciousness with adequate parking and open spaces. The exclusive roof-top lounge "Eleven" on the 19th floor, with its panoramic views, is a destination by itself.

The common spaces have been created in keeping with the building aesthetics and the design language; elements like bevelled glass, crystal chandeliers, intricate metal work and works of art are reminiscent of New York's iconic Empire State Building and Singapore's Atlas Lounge. Thoughtfully designed with contemporary sensibilities, Avighna House is a specially-abled-friendly building with a Vastu-compliant layout. Loaded with best-in-class sustainability features for high standards of energy and resource efficiency, Avighna House is an environment-friendly, IGBC-certified green building (proposed Gold Rated) and recipient of the British Safety Award from the International Safety Council.

Sharing the vision behind Avighna House, Mr. Nishant Agarwal, Managing Director, Avighna Group, said, "Keeping with our philosophy of delivering exceptional projects, Avighna House is the Group's foray into super-premium office spaces. With Avighna House, we have changed the definition of a modern office building. This is a vision that introduces a cutting-edge product wrapped in a timeless heritage and we are happy to share that our efforts have received a tremendous positive response from all stakeholders. Waterfield Advisors and a leading global investment company have leased space at Avighna House."

Avighna House has easy access to roadways leading to the northern and southern parts of Mumbai. While the building is strategically located just five minutes away from the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, the upcoming Metro network will considerably shrink the travel time from Avighna House to any part of Mumbai.

  • Introduces 'MyoCare Lens' to combat increasing cases of Myopia in Children
  • Adds ZEISS 'Smartlife Young' lenses to its successful 'Smartlife portfolio'

ZEISS, an internationally leading brand in optics and optoelectronics, has announced the launch of specially designed 'MyoCare' and 'Smartlife Young' lenses for children and teenagers in India. 'Smartlife Young' lenses are designed to provide clear, comfortable vision for young eyes, adapted to their growing anatomical changes and visual behaviour with age. 'MyoCare Lens' will address the growing number of Myopia cases in India by offering specially designed prescription lenses to consumers.

Speaking about the additions to the portfolio, Rohan Paul, Business Head - Vision Care, Carl ZEISS India (Bangalore) Pvt. Ltd. said, "We believe that every child deserves the best possible vision, and we're proud to offer a solution that can help them achieve that. Our latest MyoCare lenses for children with myopia are a game-changer in the world of children's eyewear, and we can't wait for parents and children alike to experience the benefits. The launch of MyoCare and Smartlife Young are a result of years of research and development. We understand the impact that eyesight conditions can have on children's lives, and we are committed to providing solutions that will help them see clearly and comfortably."

Myopia is a common eye condition that affects millions of children and both myopia and progressive myopia are affecting more and more people worldwide. The condition which often develops during childhood worsens as the child grows and causes distant objects to appear blurry, making it difficult to see things clearly in the classroom, on the sports field and in other daily activities. With a projected prevalence of 50% of the world's population by 2050, myopia is a global challenge. This has led to a big effort by industry and optometry experts to expand diagnostic and management options.

With a belief that "Every child counts, and every diopter matters" ZEISS understands that in order to assess an individual's risk for progressive or high myopia, careful anamnesis and observation of the individual child is essential. ZEISS is therefore combining 10+ years of extensive experience with progressive and high myopia in Asia with scientifically-based findings to offer effective, specific myopia management solutions.

ZEISS 'MyoCare' lens is specifically designed for children between the age bracket of 6 and 12 to manage myopia progression. It is a new, clinically-proven, effective spectacle lens design that incorporates years of ZEISS myopia management practice. Key specifications of the MyoCare lens include Blue light protection for children with myopia who find blue light emitted by smartphones, tablets, LEDs, TVs, and computer screens distracting, full UV protection for the eye when kids are out in the sun, premium protection against scratches and a special dirt-resistant coating.

Together with a leading myopia management institute, Wenzhou Medical University Eye Hospital WMU, China, ZEISS has tested different design variants. The MyoCare design, as the most promising of the tested designs, is patented as "Cylindrical Annular Refractive Elements" or C.A.R.E. Technology. To avoid hyperopic defocus for all directions of gaze, ZEISS MyoCare uses a second, innovative technology: ClearFocus optimizes the free-form back of the lens point by point.
The research group at the ZEISS Vision Science Lab at the University of Tübingen, Germany, and the collaboration with international scientific institutions, as well as the developers at ZEISS, form the basis of innovations for myopia management.

Another latest launch, 'SmartLife Young' lens by ZEISS is based on applied research of today's lifestyle, visual behaviour, and individual age-related visual needs of kids and teenagers. It is based on the insight that young people are connected in more ways than ever before. This lifestyle has an impact on their visual behaviour. Children read more information on smaller devices at closer distances, and they significantly shift their gaze downwards, eventually developing eyesight issues. Personalised ZEISS 'Smartlife Young' lens ensures a comfortable and clear vision for these children.

ZEISS in India has also enhanced its existing SmartLife premium lens portfolio, the range that has successfully established itself as the go-to portfolio for eyecare professionals in the market over the past few years. ZEISS Intelligence Augmented Design technology uses smart data science to further optimize lens design by comparing 12.5 million data points of the visual behaviour to ensure full freedom of vision in any distance and direction.

Tistabene, a Young Fashion Brand Started in 2019

Thursday 27 April 2023 11:55 AM UTC+00
Business Wire India

"Looks good on you" Isn't this the best compliment someone receives? This online clothing store came into the market with this motive only. Recently my team came across a brand from Jaipur which is leading in D2C, B2B, B2C, and other segments.
 
It is always scrutinized that men always take the second row when it comes to fashion and styling. But not anymore as the young mind of Siddhart Darda- CEO of Tistabene aimed to define fashion in an ethical and sustainable language. Their main rationale behind entering the market is that men deserve to be the center of attraction too. In the beginning, when the brand started they used to ship only 30 orders a day. The shipping rate of this apparel brand is increasing by 2X and they are shipping a total of 1500-2000+ products diurnal.
 
This online clothing store has a total of 15+ categories with 5000+ products listed on its website. Their mobile App has 100K+ downloads. According to research, Tistabene is positioned at the top as a sustainable and ethical fashion brand setting new standards for the industry.
 
The brand is expeditious and due to all the backbreaking work, they have now incorporated with the famed and biggest groups Taj and Vivanta. Their working capacity is increasing swiftly and they have a total of 100+ employees working with them.

Tistabene Entered in The Fashion Race- How They Started
 
My team came across many brands but the widening rate of this brand is brilliant. As per my discussion with Siddharth Darda, they started the brand in 2019 by listing men's and women's jewelry 2019. In October 2019 they listed the men's apparel.

In 2019, a group of 15 individuals formed to initiate business growth. During mid-2019, they released a line of women's clothing that did not receive a favorable response. However, in October of that year, they took a chance and introduced a men's apparel collection, which received a positive response, particularly the shirt designs. Over the next two years, they expanded their product offerings to include over 2,000 designs such as co-Ord sets, sweatshirts, hoodies, pants, printed shirts for men, jogging sets, kurtas, Nehru jackets, varsity jackets, and more. Throughout their journey, they experimented with various franchise models including ASM, dealership, and others.
 
In October 2021, the team successfully separated the Tistabene brand into sub-brands: Jewellery Dekho, Tarefaan, and Luxe Home for jewelry, women's clothing, and home furnishing respectively, after extensive effort. In 2022, following careful planning, they listed products from different categories on separate websites. Consequently, the brand evolved into a distinct men's clothing brand with diverse categories.
Maintaining Steadiness With Other Fashion brands
 
Taking inspiration from everyday life and around the world this brand caters to everyone's needs. They have wide options in categories from which anyone can select partywear dresses, casual wear, office wear, and even loungewear dresses. From jeans for men to slay to comfortable shorts to sleep in, they have got them all.
 
Tistabene makes ecological, cost-effective, and long-lasting goods. It is not always the case that fast fashion brings new fashion trends in no time but Tistabene ameliorates rapidly with time fashion trends. They rehabilitate their categories by adding new products to them every month.
Generally, people give 5 stars to Tistabene for such things as the brand completely follows slow fashion but still ships with a great number on a daily basis. From the catchphrase to their aim everything is at the threshold.
 
The brand has a wide range of options including size and styles along with designs and trends. From printed shirts for men to co-Ord sets, cargo pants, denim jeans, hoodies, gym essentials, and many more they have got them all.
 
My team recently came across an interview with Siddharth Darda and commenting on the same, Siddharth Darda, CEO of, Tistabene said, "There are certain fashion ethics that need to be followed to conserve environmental growth and save the planet. According to scrutiny, our brand adds up to more than 50 to 60 products every month in their category without following fast fashion."
How Tistabene Is Widening Its Area
Tistabene's impressive numbers and growth rate are eye-opening. The efforts of Siddharth Darda have paid off.

Tistabene is solely available with the famous Taj and Vivanta Group and currently has 9 of his offline stores in the following cities:

Mumbai, Bangalore, Sri Ganganagar, Delhi, Bilaspur, Shah Pura, and 3 stores in Jaipur. Their working capacity has increased by 200% and soon there will be about 450 to 500 employees working together.

My team has visited all nine Tistabene stores and has known them very closely. The staff is really nice, the interior of the store is attractive and the prices are pocket friendly. Talking about the unique thing about the brand, they have friendly, professional, and pocket-friendly services.

Tistabene is a lifestyle fashion brand that makes creative and top-notch apparel. With its original and intriguing ideas and appealing catalog, the lifestyle brand has carved out a new market niche in the fashion and apparel industry.

Tistabene is now sold worldwide and will have stores in airports as well. Tistabene's annual turnover is around 50 crores, but the figure will change soon.
Exploring An Untapped Area
"When going in the long race of fashion game, everyone chooses the easy path. Even though we had the option to choose the same, we didn't. It is just an escape from hiding the reality for a few years. Like opting for the unethical fashion and manufacturing the apparel in the same way. It decreases the interval of time and the process of manufacturing is way too fast. We are dealing in slow fashion because we care about our customers," said Siddharth Darda.
 
What is better than a brand tining about its customers and making them prioritize? Tistabene is an online clothing store that deals in many categories. In the beginning, they had options in shirts only. Starting from a few categories to 15+ categories is a big number.

From 30 orders per day to almost crossing 1500 to 2000+ orders is a proud thing for Tistabene. It is the fact that hard work always pays off and indeed it did.
 
Tistabene is an Italian name that says- "looks good on you"! Tistabene is a leading brand that acts as a manufacturer as well as a distributor and is doing so well in the fashion race. Bringing people's choices to their doorsteps and making us all happy.
 
The unique ideas behind the designs of the apparel are the great thing about this brand.
 
Tistabene has styled many favorite fashion icons and created a buzz among the general populace. They have worked together with numerous bloggers, YouTubers, and influencers.
 
They want to make sure that their consumers are satisfied, therefore they give us a user-friendly interface so that people can easily purchase both on their website and in their physical locations.

How Tistabene Is Going Better Than Other Brands
 
The suspicion here is that every brand is following fast fashion and getting the pathways than how Tistabene made its locus in such a race. The basic thing which a brand comes in demand for is fashion according to trends. Tistabene easily passes this pointer as they have a wide variety to choose from and their products are unique. The second thing people look for while selecting the outfits is the prices and Tistabene again passes the question. Tistabene is a slow fashion brand but still provides its products at a pocket-friendly price. They have a whole range to create a capsule wardrobe for people. From printed shirts for men to solid shirts and everything in between.
 
Tistabene does not follow fast fashion but is in a race because they have a wide variety of clothes to choose from. They upgrade their collection every so often. The next and most important thing about Tistabene is pocket-friendly prices. Brands that follow fast fashion sell the clothes at the same prices as Tistabene does by following slow fashion.
Cease- Why Tistabene Is One of The Best Fashion Brands
 
According to the recent fashion games and fashion trends, my team never came across a slow fashion brand before today.
 
The men's apparel brand- Tistabene is a slow fashion brand that has everything people need. From the idea to set a capsule wardrobe to be a style icon after styling some of the apparel, they have got all the best quality fabric at a pocket-friendly price.
 
From Cargo pants for men to every stylish bottom as well as top wear they have everything. The categories from Tistabene keep increasing every month. They add up stylish designs every month by following fashion ethics.
 
As a brand Tistabene stands for fashion and trends. The company recently collaborated with Bhuvan Bam, Ankush Bhavguna, Keshav Sadhna, Sparsh Alawadhi, and many more actors and celebrities.
 
Keeping up with the company always comes up with something new and upgrades its categories. The brand also emphasizes manufacturing comfortable clothing with a contemporary touch and fashion trends. In addition, this online clothing store consistently attempts to create new collections that aim for a range of environmentally friendly and chemical-free items.
