As an actor building his journey from Bollywood toward Hollywood, Rish has always understood the importance of presence. Whether in front of the camera or in everyday life, he believes that the way a person carries themselves tells a story long before they speak. His interest in lifestyle comes from that philosophy: live deliberately, look distinctive, stay physically and mentally strong, and continuously work toward a bigger version of yourself.

Fitness plays a major role in that lifestyle. For Rish, maintaining a strong physique is not only connected to acting; it represents discipline. Training, nutrition, personal grooming, and taking care of his appearance are part of the preparation required to remain camera-ready while also building confidence away from the screen. He sees physical fitness as an extension of mental strength—the ability to remain committed even when nobody is watching.

Fashion is another important part of his personality. Rish gravitates toward looks that combine masculinity, sophistication, and cinematic character. From sharp tailoring and luxury-inspired fashion to leather jackets, statement eyewear, watches, and contemporary editorial styling, his approach is less about following trends and more about creating an unmistakable presence.

There is also a distinctly cinematic quality to the lifestyle that inspires him. Classic Hollywood glamour, European sophistication, modern luxury, powerful automobiles, elegant architecture, travel, photography, and carefully designed spaces all contribute to his visual world. He is fascinated by the idea that everyday life can carry the same sense of atmosphere and storytelling that exists in cinema.

But beneath the aesthetics is ambition.

Rish considers self-development one of the most important luxuries a person can possess. He is constantly interested in learning, improving his craft, understanding business, expanding his opportunities, and creating a life with greater freedom. His definition of success is therefore larger than fame or material achievement. It is about having control over one’s direction while continuing to grow professionally, physically, intellectually, and creatively.

His journey has also taught him that a desirable lifestyle is rarely created overnight. Behind polished photographs, beautiful destinations, or professional achievements are years of persistence, uncertainty, reinvention, and work. That contrast has shaped his perspective. He appreciates luxury, but he respects the discipline required to earn it.

As his career expands internationally, Rish wants his lifestyle and artistic identity to develop together. Acting remains at the center of his ambitions, but fashion, fitness, travel, entrepreneurship, photography, and personal branding are all parts of the larger world he is building around himself.

Ultimately, Rish’s passion for lifestyle comes down to one principle: life itself should be treated as a creative project.

Every role, every destination, every challenge, every transformation, and every chapter provides another opportunity to create something stronger than before.

For Rish Sinha, lifestyle is not about pretending to have arrived. It is about becoming the person capable of reaching the destination.

The oversubscribed round comprises equity led by Elev8 Venture Partners and Claypond Capital, with participation from Singularity AMC, Anicut Capital, 360 ONE Asset, JIF Capital and HDFC AMC. Existing investors Yamaha Motor Corporation, Al Futtaim Group and Mitsui & Co also participated, alongside venture debt firms like Alteria Capital, Innoven Capital and Stride Ventures. This is River’s first major backing from Indian institutional investors and is one of the largest private investments in the electric two-wheeler sector.

Larger fundraising rounds are likely to continue for category leaders in the electric two-wheeler space, although capital deployment will remain highly selective, said Saket Mehra, partner, and auto industry leader, Grant Thornton Bharat.

“The funding environment is expected to favour businesses with proven commercial traction, differentiated technology and scalable business models rather than broad-based investments across the sector. This trend is already evident, with Q2 2026 witnessing capital concentrated in a handful of high-value transactions despite an overall moderation in PE activity, underscoring investors’ preference for businesses with clear execution capabilities and long-term growth potential.”

Founded in March 2021, the Bengaluru-based startup has raised about $68 million across five earlier funding rounds. It only has one scooter model, the Indie, which it calls the “SUV of scooters” because of features such as 14-inch alloy wheels and 55 litres of storage.

River sold 6,000 scooters in July, giving it a 3 percent share of the electric two-wheeler market. “We have around 75 stores which sell on an average around 80 units, the highest in the industry,” Co-founder Aravind Mani tells Forbes India.

River has positioned the Indie as a premium utility scooter, targeting users who need a vehicle for both work and personal use. “We’ve established a new segment in the scooter space: Utility lifestyle. The target is solopreneurs—carpenters, electricians, plumbers, shop owners, YouTubers—who want to carry things for work but are also stylish individuals,” says Mani, who is also the chief executive officer.

The Indie is priced at Rs1,54,899 (ex-showroom) in Bengaluru, including the PM E-Drive subsidy.

River’s factory in Bengaluru’s Hoskote has the capacity to produce about 10,000 vehicles a month and is running at 65-70 percent utilisation, Mani further says. After the fundraise, the company plans to begin work on a much larger manufacturing facility within the next 45 to 60 days. Talks are underway with two states to identify the location. “The first phase will be commissioned by the middle of next year. Capacity will be around 700,000-800,000, seven to eight times the current factory’s,” says Mani.

River is also preparing to broaden its line-up—it is developing two more scooters, with one scheduled for launch next year and another expected in 2028 or 2029. Both will remain within its utility lifestyle positioning. The company expects to expand its retail network to about 200 stores by March 2027 and around 400 a year later.

Asked what differentiates River from the many startups that have tried to make e-scooters, Mani said it’s the company’s focus. “We are a company that is really good at subtraction. I actively think about what not to do so that we can do what we do well.”

That thinking extends to its manufacturing strategy. “We are possibly the only OEM in the country that does not have variants of the product. We have one model. The only decision the customer has to make is which colour. It also keeps my supply chain and manufacturing simple.”

River is operating at a revenue run rate of about Rs100 crore. Mani expects the company to reach Ebitda profitability once it sells about 25,000 vehicles a month, a milestone he hopes to reach by FY29.

The co-founder called the latest fundraise a “big breakthrough, which will put River on a very different growth trajectory”.

India’s electric two-wheeler investment landscape is significantly more mature today than it was two or three years ago, said Grant Thornton Bharat’s Mehra.

The most important shift, he said, is the evolution of capital allocation. “India’s electric two-wheeler sector is transitioning from a venture-led adoption story to a strategic industrial and technology investment opportunity. Capital remains available, but it is increasingly being directed towards businesses that can build sustainable competitive advantage, execute at scale and deliver long-term profitable growth.

River has the backing of not just institutional investors but global two-wheeler makers as well.

Japanese two-wheeler giant Yamaha has been an investor in River since 2024 and the partnership extends beyond funding. The startup manufactures Yamaha’s EC-06 electric scooter at its Bengaluru factory, with production beginning in 2024.

“River’s focus on building a vertically integrated electric vehicle technology platform has been a key driver of its success. Yamaha are proud to see the progress made by River so far and are excited about being part of the next phase of growth,” Hajime Aota, chairman of Yamaha India Group, said in a statement.

In his latest move, Mundhe’s FDA on Saturday issued show-cause notices to actors Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn and Tiger Shroff for advertising an elaichi product from a pan masala brand, alleging surrogate advertising of a product banned in Maharashtra.

The IAS officer’s aggressive enforcement drive has drawn both criticism and praise. 

Who is Tukaram Mundhe?

Born into a farming family in Maharashtra’s Beed, Mundhe joined the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) in 2005 after securing the 20th rank in the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) examination. He was subsequently allotted his home cadre of Maharashtra. 

Mundhe has said that he worked in the fields and helped his parents sell vegetables at weekly markets while growing up. He has also spoken about witnessing the consequences of the government’s failure to deliver on its welfare promises. These experiences, he has said, inspired him to join the administrative services, according to media reports.

Mundhe studied at a Zilla Parishad school in Beed before completing his graduation from the Government College of Arts and Science in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, then known as Aurangabad, in 1996. He went on to earn a master’s degree in political science from Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University in 1998. 

Even after joining the IAS, Mundhe continued to pursue further education and training. He has completed courses in leadership, financial market regulation, tax analysis and revenue forecasting, fiscal policy and macroeconomic management, and disaster management. 

A career marked by crackdowns and transfers

Before becoming Maharashtra FDA commissioner, Mundhe had become a bureaucrat defined as much by his no-nonsense administrative style as by his frequent transfers over a career spanning more than two decades. By the time he joined the FDA, he had reportedly been transferred 25 times, with his latest posting bringing him to the food and drug regulator.

“Frequent transfers do not trouble me. In fact, change is an integral part of progress. The more transfers I have, the more opportunities I get to bring about positive changes”, said Mundhe, quoted news agency PTI. 

As Solapur Collector, Mundhe’s work under the Jalyukt Shivar programme helped make hundreds of villages in the district tanker-free, earning him the moniker “Water Man of Maharashtra”. 

The pattern continued in later postings. As Navi Mumbai Municipal Commissioner, Mundhe cracked down on illegal constructions and hoardings and pushed for better tax recovery, drawing both public support and criticism from elected representatives. His short stint as Health Commissioner in 2022 followed a similar course, with surprise inspections and action against doctors before he was transferred within weeks.

Mundhe’s FDA crackdown

After taking charge as FDA commissioner, Mundhe launched a statewide enforcement drive targeting food adulteration, hygiene issues and businesses operating without proper licences. Asked about the ongoing action, the IAS officer said there would be no compromise when it comes to public health. 

The Mundhe-led FDA has cracked down on the sale of analogue paneer, suspended the licences of restaurants found violating food safety norms, and shut down Domino’s and Pizza Hut outlets over hygiene lapses. More recently, the FDA led statewide inspections of Blinkit, Zepto and Instamart-linked facilities that resulted in licence suspensions over alleged food safety and hygiene violations.

Mundhe has said the system can improve only when the food industry follows regulations, the FDA regulates effectively and consumers remain vigilant.

He further annouced a waiver upto Rs 75,000 for loans ranging between Rs 75,000 and Rs one lakh.

Emphasising that agriculture is the backbone of the state and that the prosperity of the nation depended on supporting farmers, he said despite the state facing financial constrains, his government decided to extend additional support of Rs 953.06 crore to farmers.

Making an announcement under Rule 110 in the Assembly, Vijay said the government previously waived agricultural loans up to Rs 50,000 within 15 days of taking office in May. This was later expanded to provide full waivers for loans up to Rs 75,000, and a Rs 35,000 waiver for loans exceeding Rs 75,000, benefiting over 14.44 lakh farmers.

Following consultations with agricultural unions on August 7, 2026, the government decided to provide additional relief despite current financial constraints and Reserve Bank of India guidelines that required rapid settlements with cooperative banks, the chief minister said, announcing additional benefits.

As per his announcement, cooperative farm loans up to Rs 75,000 will now be provided 100 per cent waiver, loans between Rs 75,000 and Rs 1 lakh, will receive up to Rs 75,000 in waivers, and loans above Rs 1 lakh will receive a maximum waiver of Rs 35,000.

“This initiative will provide additional support to over 1.38 lakh farmers, representing an additional financial commitment of approximately Rs 953.06 crore by the government, with a total waiver amount reaching Rs 6,220 crore for 13.34 lakh farmers,” the CM said.

The fund will invest in startups working on technologies across defence, semiconductors, space, energy, advanced materials, manufacturing, robotics, water, EVs, nuclear and IoT. 

Bluehill.VC plans to build a portfolio of 15-16 companies and will invest an average first cheque of $1-2 million from seed to Series A.

The firm has already invested more than Rs 100 crore across seven companies. Its portfolio includes EtherealX, Zebu Intelligent Systems, Helex, Sophrosyne Technologies and optoML.

Bluehill.VC plans to deploy another Rs 80 crore over the next six months into startups developing proprietary technologies. The firm follows an invest-and-build approach, working with founders from the early stages of their businesses.

Founded in 2024 by Manu Iyer and Sridhar Parthasarathy, Bluehill.VC plans to launch its next fund in 2027 as it continues to invest in Indian frontier-tech companies.

The three-day IPO opened for subscription on August 12 and closed on August 14, with the company offering its shares in a price band of ₹92 to ₹97 apiece. The final subscription stood at around 99.3 times, highlighting strong demand across investor categories.

QIBs drive Shiprocket IPO demand

Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs) emerged as the biggest driver of demand, subscribing to their reserved portion around 123 times. The Non-Institutional Investor (NII) category was subscribed approximately 89 times, while the retail investor portion received bids for around 46 times the shares on offer. The employee quota was subscribed about 55 times.

The strong institutional participation is particularly significant as QIB demand is closely watched in large public issues and can influence investor sentiment around the stock’s market debut.

Shiprocket IPO size cut by 31%

Shiprocket had initially proposed a much larger public issue, but subsequently reduced the IPO size by about 31%. The final issue size stands at ₹1,617.48 crore, compared with the earlier proposed ₹2,342.35 crore.

The IPO comprises a fresh issue of ₹885.50 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) of ₹731.98 crore.

The fresh capital will primarily support Shiprocket’s expansion and financial requirements. The company has earmarked approximately ₹205.8 crore for marketing and ₹159.8 crore for technology infrastructure and capabilities. Another ₹210 crore is planned for repayment of borrowings, with the remaining proceeds allocated towards acquisitions and general corporate purposes.

Shiprocket raises ₹727 crore from anchor investors

Ahead of the IPO, Shiprocket raised around ₹727 crore from anchor investors, attracting participation from several major domestic mutual funds and institutional investors. The anchor round further strengthened the company’s IPO story and indicated institutional interest ahead of the public offering.

What does Shiprocket do?

Gurugram-based Shiprocket operates as an e-commerce enablement and logistics platform serving online sellers, D2C brands and businesses.

Its platform helps merchants manage shipping, logistics and other e-commerce operations, positioning the company to benefit from the continued growth of India’s online commerce and digital-first businesses.

Shiprocket is backed by prominent investors, including Temasek and Eternal, adding to investor interest in the company’s public-market debut.

Shiprocket IPO allotment and listing date

Following the close of the IPO, investors are now waiting for the allotment process. Shiprocket IPO allotment is expected on August 17, 2026, while the company’s shares are scheduled to debut on the BSE and NSE on August 19, 2026.

The massive oversubscription means that retail investors are likely to face intense competition for allotment, with demand far exceeding the number of shares available.

Shiprocket financial performance

Shiprocket continued to report strong operating growth in FY26. According to the company’s reported financials, operating revenue increased by around 24% year-on-year to ₹2,024 crore.

However, profitability remains an area investors will closely monitor. The company reported a net loss of ₹79 crore in FY26, compared with ₹74.4 crore in FY25, indicating that the business is still working towards sustainable profitability.

What the 99x subscription means for Shiprocket

The nearly 100x subscription reflects strong investor appetite for Shiprocket and the broader e-commerce logistics opportunity in India. The particularly high QIB participation also adds weight to the market’s interest in the company’s growth prospects.

At the same time, subscription figures alone do not determine the long-term performance of an IPO. Investors will likely focus on Shiprocket’s revenue growth, path to profitability, technology investments, competitive position and ability to scale its merchant ecosystem after listing.

With the IPO now closed, the next major milestones for investors are the Shiprocket IPO allotment on August 17 and the stock market listing on August 19.

Throughout the tournament, the platform proved its value by delivering real time information that enhanced engagement for players, organizers, and supporters alike.

One of the biggest strengths of the beta launch was the close collaboration between the KoreScore team and its users. Vinith Shivshankaran, Manish Gowardipe, Vineet Pundpal, and Rohan Abraham were present throughout the tournament, interacting directly with players, organizers, and spectators. Their on ground presence enabled the team to gather immediate feedback, understand user requirements, and introduce several enhancements and new features during the tournament itself.

The response from users was extremely encouraging, with many participants praising the platform’s ease of use, accuracy, accessibility, and ability to showcase player and team performances. Organizers also appreciated the efficiency that KoreScore brought to managing tournament statistics while keeping teams and supporters informed throughout the competition.

The successful beta launch took place during Football Premier League Season 3, where KoreScore proudly served as the Title Sponsor of the event. The partnership helped create a vibrant and professional atmosphere, with technology becoming an integral part of the tournament experience. Through live statistics, player tracking, match updates, and active on ground support, KoreScore enhanced the experience for everyone involved.

Adding further excitement to the tournament, this year’s Football Premier League adopted a FIFA World Cup-inspired theme, with participating teams bidding for and representing footballing nations instead of traditional club names. The eight teams competed under the banners of France, Argentina, Brazil, Portugal, Germany, Croatia, Spain, and Netherlands, creating a unique tournament atmosphere that resonated strongly with players and fans.

After a series of highly competitive matches, Team Brazil emerged as the champions of Football Premier League Season 3, capping off a memorable tournament that successfully blended football, community engagement, and technology.

Following the success of the beta phase, the KoreScore team is now preparing for its next chapter. The platform, which currently operates through a browser based model, will begin its transition to dedicated mobile applications, with plans to launch on major app stores in the near future. This evolution will make the platform even more accessible while introducing additional features and capabilities for football communities across the country.

The success of the beta launch represents an important milestone in KoreScore’s journey to become the preferred digital ecosystem for grassroots football. As the platform continues to evolve, its focus remains on empowering players, recognizing contributions, and bringing greater visibility and professionalism to football communities at every level.

The fresh capital will be used to enhance Rivvun AI’s core AI capabilities, grow its team, and accelerate customer acquisition across key industries worldwide.

Founded by former Icertis executives Anand Veerkar and Niranjan Umarane, Rivvun AI is building an intelligent platform that helps large enterprises uncover revenue losses and procurement inefficiencies that often go unnoticed but significantly impact profitability.

The company’s AI-powered software identifies missed commercial obligations, supplier rebate leakages, pricing discrepancies, settlement gaps, and other hidden issues that can drain millions of dollars from enterprise balance sheets.

Rivvun AI integrates seamlessly with existing enterprise systems, including ERP, CRM, and procurement platforms, to analyze vast amounts of business data and uncover unrealized revenue opportunities and cost-saving insights. Its solutions currently focus on two major areas: revenue assurance and procurement spend optimization.

Headquartered in Seattle, with its engineering operations based in Pune, the startup is targeting large global enterprises across sectors such as healthcare, banking, consumer goods, retail, and manufacturing.

Before launching Rivvun AI, Veerkar and Umarane spent more than a decade at enterprise contract management giant Icertis, where they played leadership roles during the company’s rapid growth phase. Their deep understanding of enterprise workflows and contract intelligence has helped shape Rivvun AI’s mission of eliminating costly business leakages through AI.

Founded earlier this year, the startup also counts software entrepreneur Patrick Linton among its founding team members, adding further depth to its leadership expertise.

As enterprises worldwide seek smarter ways to protect margins and maximize profitability, Rivvun AI is positioning itself at the intersection of enterprise AI, revenue intelligence, and procurement analytics. The company’s latest funding signals growing investor confidence in AI solutions that deliver measurable financial outcomes rather than simply automating routine tasks.

The latest round attracted participation from an impressive lineup of investors, including Valiant Fund, Think Investments, PhonePe founder Sameer Nigam, Zubin Bharti Mittal from the Airtel family office, Skyflow co-founder Anshu Sharma, Meta India and Southeast Asia Vice President Sandhya Devanathan, and CtrlS Datacenters Chairman Sridhar Pinnapureddy.

Notably, Prosus Ventures and Tomales Bay Capital had also co-led Equal AI’s $10 million Series A round in November 2024, reinforcing their long-term conviction in the startup’s vision.

The fresh infusion of capital will help Equal AI expand its consumer-focused offerings and enhance its AI assistant capabilities across multiple categories, including communications, financial services, shopping, lifestyle management, and concierge services.

Founded in 2022 by Keshav Reddy, a former venture capitalist known for backing successful startups such as Cred, Upstox, Hive, Genies, and Chipper Cash, Equal initially built its business around consent-based identity and data-sharing infrastructure for enterprises. Its solutions serve sectors including banking, insurance, lending, telecom, and digital services.

In October 2025, the company entered the consumer AI space with the launch of its AI-powered call assistant, a voice-first product designed specifically for Indian users.

The response from consumers has been remarkable. According to the company, Equal AI has surpassed 1 million monthly active users and 350,000 daily active users within just eight months of launch. The platform enables users to identify unknown callers, block spam calls, understand caller intent, and even complete tasks on their behalf.

Beyond its consumer ambitions, Equal AI continues to maintain a strong enterprise presence. The startup says it currently serves more than 350 enterprise customers and powers over 1 billion transactions annually through its identity and data-sharing infrastructure.

With this new funding, Equal AI aims to accelerate its expansion in India’s rapidly evolving consumer AI market and build a comprehensive AI assistant platform tailored for the country’s smartphone users.

The investment reflects a broader trend of increasing investor interest in voice-led, AI-native products built for Indian use cases, as startups race to redefine how millions of consumers interact with technology in their everyday lives.
