An edtech startup to learn dance from the best and a platform offering digital CVs for film professionals

It is amazing to see how digitization allows the reach of edtech to go far beyond traditional academic learning. Take for example Ucanji, an innovative edtech platform launched by Gurugram-based Divanshi Gupta, which teaches a non-academic but important skill-based subject – dance.

The platform allows students to enroll through a subscription model and access hundreds of videos on various dance forms under the guidance of expert choreographers from all over India and the world.

The artists will agree unanimously that their best work is a reflection of their own life and situation. Hyderabad-based singer and musician Pranati Khanna, aka Peekay, whose latest single “You Don’t Have To” released in July in collaboration with popular music producer Jonathan Edwards, attests to this.

With over 61,000 views on Peekay’s YouTube channel, “You Don’t Have To” was highly rated by fans and audiences alike. The song premiered on VH1 and Rolling Stone India.

You are probably hearing conflicting information when it comes to fiber. On the one hand, you see nutritionists talking about the importance of fiber. At the same time, you may hear other nutritionists denouncing fiber as something that can deprive your body of zinc and other minerals.

Where is the balanced point of view and what should you do? Is fiber important for your body? How much do you need each day? Read more about it here.

The architecture reflects the times in which we live. Today, when public health and environmental issues have become pressing concerns, it is natural to create structures that respond to both. The latest project from Delhi-based Architecture Discipline – mohalla clinics made from discarded shipping containers – is a prime example.

These clinics take advantage of the structural strength of discarded shipping containers, reducing the need for costly modifications or custom additions, and help redefine post-industrial waste as a means of universal and affordable healthcare.

Studies show that only 2% of film professionals succeed at the right opportunities, while the remaining 98% remain in the same positions.

Filmy profile co-founders Sudheer Kumar Yandapalli and Nanda Kishore “saw this as a huge opportunity to build a platform.”

The Bengaluru-based digital platform provides digital CVs to film professionals, including background information, instructional details, experience, portfolio, videos, audio files and documents.
