<content:encoded><![CDATA[Victoria, Seychelles, June 11, 2025 — <a href="https://www.mexc.co/en-IN/">MEXC</a>, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, has released its May 2025 performance update, showcasing another strong month of growth across user acquisition, trading activity, and sectoral momentum. The platform’s global user base surpassed 40 million, up from 30 million in December 2024 — a 33% increase in just five months.
Key Highlights:
<ul>
<li>User base exceeded 40 million (+33% since Dec 2024)</li>
<li>214 new tokens listed in May (+33.7% MoM)</li>
<li>Average trading volume per user up 45.09%</li>
<li>Top 10 newly listed tokens averaged +2300.95% in peak gains</li>
<li>About 40,000 users joined Airdrop+ campaigns</li>
</ul>
 
Listing Activity and Trading Volume Growth
MEXC listed 214 new tokens in May, marking one of the most active listing months to date. Trading volume tied to these listings jumped by 46.7%, while average trading volume per user increased by 45.09% — signaling rising user engagement and growing confidence in MEXC’s early-stage project selection.
MEXC’s total daily trading volume <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/">reached $4.1 billion</a> according to CoinMarketCap, making it the second-largest platform by trading volume among leading crypto exchanges.
Sector Momentum: AI, GameFi, Meme Coins
Some of the strongest gains came from sectors that continue to define the next market cycle. AI infrastructure token AGT posted a peak gain of +3,770.10%, followed closely by blockchain gaming project NXPC (+3,756.30%) and PayFi protocol HUMA (+1,170.00%).
Meme coins remained a major force in May, with retail-driven tokens from Solana and BNB Chain dominating charts. GOONC surged +3,400%, B gained +3,001.20%, and MOONPIG rallied +753.33%, demonstrating the power of meme communities in driving liquidity and excitement.
<img decoding="async" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1000/1*Z3ii1IdMPKrlGQM51FBY8w.jpeg" />
 
 
User Incentives: Airdrops and Launchpools
May also marked a record month for user rewards and event participation. MEXC hosted 58 Airdrop+ campaigns, more than doubling the number from April. The combined prize pool exceeded 3 million USDT, attracting nearly 40,000 users. Campaigns like AIOT (7,000+ participants, ~320 USDT value per user) and HUMA (100 USDT in tokens, followed by a 1,170% gain) stood out for their strong user response and post-listing performance.
<a href="https://www.mexc.co/en-IN/mx-activity/launchpool">Launchpool</a> events continued to deliver high returns. The ICEBERG pool offered an 8,488.44% APR, while the ongoing EIN Launchpool, open until July 17, remains attractive due to its high rewards and relatively low participation.
Looking Ahead
With momentum across listings, incentives, and user growth, MEXC continues to strengthen its position as a global launchpad for high-potential tokens. Strategic focus remains on trending verticals such as AI, Real World Assets (RWA), GameFi, and the TON ecosystem, where user demand and innovation are converging.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Victoria, Seychelles, June 5, 2025 — <a href="https://www.mexc.co">MEXC</a>, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, is shaping its long-term strategy, based on its mission – making crypto more accessible to everyone and building trust within the community. Being a significant player in the market, MEXC drives the whole industry. The effect of its recent investments on the crypto space globally is hard to overestimate.
 
As part of this strategy, the exchange has previously made a significant investment of $16 million in Ethena, a leading innovator in the stablecoin space. The investment follows MEXC’s recent acquisition of $20 million worth of USDe, Ethena’s synthetic dollar, which caused a surge in ENA’s trading volume and boosted USDe’s total value locked (TVL).
 
In May 2025, the TVL of <a href="https://www.mexc.co/price/USDE">USDe</a> in MEXC recorded a value above $100 million, making it the second-largest holder of USDe TVL among centralized exchanges. This growth aligns with the broader rise of USDe, whose circulating supply has reached nearly $5.2 billion — making it the fourth-largest stablecoin by market capitalization. The trust in this coin is backed up by several factors. In contrast to some highly volatile crypto assets, USDe exhibits greater price stability. Also, Ethena employs a unique strategy for maintaining the dollar peg, combining derivatives and on-chain liquidity.
 
To encourage users to experience and trade USDe, MEXC launched several events and promotional campaigns, including one with an impressive prize pool of $1 million. Other incentives include zero trading fees, presented as a limited-time <a href="https://www.mexc.co/zero-fee">Trader’s Fest</a>, aimed at attracting crypto professionals and those who are making their first steps. Within this offering, traders can take advantage of zero-fee trading pairs.
 
To appeal to risk-averse crypto investors, MEXC comes out with exclusive staking rewards with generous APR (annual percentage rate). These incentives, targeted to various crypto user groups, offer simplicity, innovation and customization. They drive industry as a whole and build confidence among market participants by promoting stablecoins as a more trustworthy instrument and emphasizing transparency and security of operations.
 
These efforts, benefiting not only MEXC itself, but the crypto market on a larger scale, are followed by astonishing numbers. For instance, in March, the quantity of ENA holders increased by 30%, ENA TVL increased by 14%, and the daily trading volume of ENA increased by 885%. The average spot daily trading volume in March increased by 557% compared to February’s numbers.
 
By May 2025, ENA’s market capitalization reached 1.96 billion USD, marking a substantial growth from February 2025, when its market cap was approximately half that amount at 1.07 billion USD.
 
To sum up, MEXC, a cryptocurrency exchange with a years-long history (it was founded in 2018) is making investments in innovative, but at the same time secure instruments. This move emphasizes MEXC’s values and sets positive trends for the crypto industry in the long-term perspective.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Supertails partnered with 3 dog feeders across major cities in India to distribute food to strays
Bangalore, 29th May, 2025. Supertails, the leading tech-enabled pet-care startup, is excited to mark its four-year milestone, celebrating significant growth, innovation, and unwavering dedication towards pet parents across India. Supertails is marking the milestone with a heartfelt celebration that goes beyond cakes and candles. Staying true to its mission of creating a kinder, more compassionate world for pets, Supertails has launched Feed a Streetie, a street-wide birthday party where the real VIPs are the streeties who bring so much love into our lives.
India is home to over 62 million stray dogs and most of them rely on community feeding for survival, as per estimates by the Federation of Indian Animal Protection Organisations (FIAPO). With its Feed a Streetie, Supertails is stepping in and distributing 1000 kgs of nutritious food to street dogs across three cities through trusted feeders. This effort is part of a larger mission to build a more inclusive, compassionate pet care ecosystem, one that sees and serves every kind of pet.
“Every pet, whether living in a home or on the streets, deserves love, dignity, and a full bowl of food. With Feed a Streetie, we are not just celebrating a milestone, we are recognising and honouring the street dogs who are so often overlooked. This campaign is our way of giving back to the community that continuously inspires our purpose and mission” Varun Sadana, Aman Tekriwal, and Vineet Khanna, the co-founders of Supertails said.
Supertails has collaborated with three well-known community feeders <a href="https://www.instagram.com/themodernmowgli19/">Modern Mowgli</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rescuebygarima/">Rescue by Garima</a>, and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/south_bengaluru_cares/">Manjari from South Bengaluru Cares</a> to create a video capturing real moments from the street feeding drives in their cities. The collaborative reel, which went live on Supertails’ and the feeders’ social handles, highlights the daily realities of stray animals and the efforts made by local communities to support them.
With “Cake Katega, Sabme Batega!”, Supertails is ensuring that no furry friend is left behind. As part of this initiative, the brand is partnering with three popular pet feeders from across the country who have been tirelessly working at the grassroots level to care for street animals. Together, they will be distributing a total of 1000 kgs of dog food split across Delhi, Dehradun,, and Bangalore.
Each of these feeders represents a growing movement of pet lovers and rescuers who are using their platforms to create real change. By collaborating with them, Supertails aims to support the people behind this change, while also bringing its community together in a shared act of kindness.
The celebrations will come alive on Instagram with collab reels between Supertails and each feeder’s handle, inviting the audience to be part of the movement. As a call to action, viewers will be encouraged to support the cause by adding a Feed a Furrball box to their cart on the Supertails app or website, directly contributing to feeding efforts for more street pets. Through this initiative, Supertails is not just celebrating a birthday, but reinforcing its belief that compassion should be inclusive. Feed a Streetie brings together community, purpose, and paws, all in one joyful celebration.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[In today’s whirlwind of digital shake-ups, where every pivot, push for automation, and hybrid-work experiment feels like a high-stakes gamble, one timeless, human-powered advantage is quietly staking its claim as the linchpin of true business resilience: inclusion. Once relegated to HR handbook alongside diversity checkboxes, inclusion is rapidly stepping into the spotlight as a strategic must-have. Companies that weave inclusive habits into their leadership playbooks, product roadmaps, and customer-engagement tactics aren’t just ticking a corporate-values box, they’re future-proofing their bottom lines. If your organization hasn’t yet made inclusion a core muscle in its cultural DNA, you’re already trailing behind the pack.
<h3>Inclusion as a Measurable Business Driver</h3>
A recent report shows that companies in the top quartile for ethnic and cultural diversity on executive teams were 36% more likely to outperform on profitability. Meanwhile, Deloitte’s research indicates that inclusive companies are 8x more likely to achieve better business outcomes and 2x more likely to meet or exceed financial targets.
These aren’t social metrics, they’re bottom-line metrics. And in a business world teetering on unpredictability, inclusion builds the kind of cultural intelligence and psychological safety that fuels fast thinking, adaptive leadership, and risk-tolerant teams.
<h3>Inclusion is No Longer a Soft Skill, It’s a Survival Skill</h3>
Let’s be clear: inclusion isn’t just about hiring diversely. It’s about fostering belonging, co-creating access, and embedding empathy in everyday decision-making. Future-ready leaders will be defined not by their degrees or their digital literacy, but by their ability to navigate nuanced conversations, embrace dissenting perspectives, and hold space for underrepresented voices.
And guess what? Gen Z, the most diverse, vocal, and socially conscious generation, is watching. They don’t just want inclusive cultures; they expect them. According to Glassdoor, 76% of job seekers say a diverse workforce is a key factor when evaluating job offers. Businesses that don’t walk the talk will lose talent before they even get a chance to pitch their brand.
<h3>Inclusion is Innovation’s Best Friend</h3>
Homogeneous thinking creates safe answers. Inclusive environments unlock brave ideas.
Some of the most successful product innovations—from adaptive technology to inclusive beauty ranges, have stemmed from teams that reflected the diversity of their users. When everyone has a seat at the table, products are designed more thoughtfully, marketing becomes more authentic, and loyalty is organically built.
Inclusion leads to better problem-solving, not because of charity, but because of cognitive diversity, the wide spectrum of life experiences that shape how people ideate and execute.
<h3>Quality Tips: Embedding Inclusion as a Business Skill</h3>
In boardrooms and brainstorming sessions around the globe, a new mandate is taking center stage: making inclusion a core business capability rather than a corporate buzzword. Here’s how savvy leaders are turning that vision into action:
<ol>
<li>Revamp Leadership Academies 
Forget one-off bias seminars. Top firms are equipping managers with hands-on toolkits for inclusive decision-making, from “micro-inclusion” habits that spotlight quieter voices to structured feedback loops that ensure every perspective counts.</li>
<li>Hire for Curiosity over Credentials 
The hottest talent pools today prize adaptability and real-world problem solving above polished resumes. By scrubbing outdated degree requirements and valuing context-driven experience, companies are building future-proof teams ready to innovate on the fly.</li>
<li>Measure What Matters 
Beyond mere headcounts, forward-thinking organizations are tracking “belonging index” scores, accessibility milestones, pay-equity benchmarks, and transparent promotion pathways, so they can spot blind spots and course-correct in real time.</li>
<li>Design Inclusion into Your Products 
It’s not enough to launch a product and hope everyone feels welcome. Leaders are stress-testing services across languages, cognitive styles, and physical abilities, ensuring accessibility isn’t an afterthought but a launch requirement.</li>
<li>Elevate Intersectional Storytelling 
Moving past token events, today’s companies invest in mentorship circles, rich storytelling campaigns, and robust ERGs that fuel authentic dialogue. By celebrating the full tapestry of identity, they’re replacing checkbox celebrations with genuine community building.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Inclusion is the DNA of the Future Economy</h3>
As the global economy gets more interconnected, and AI pushes transactional roles toward automation, the uniquely human skills, empathy, collaboration, cultural fluency, become irreplaceable. Inclusion is no longer an HR goal. It’s a business imperative, a branding necessity, and a growth enabler.
Future-ready businesses will not just have inclusive values. They will be powered by inclusive people, inclusive products, and inclusive practices, at every level. Because in the business world of tomorrow, the companies that thrive won’t just be the ones that scale. They’ll be the ones that belong to everyone.The post <a href="https://startupindiamagazine.com/gaurav-bhagat-academy/">Future-Proofing Businesses: Why Inclusion is the Next Big Skill By Gaurav Bhagat, Founder, Gaurav Bhagat Academy</a> first appeared on <a href="https://startupindiamagazine.com">Startup India Magazine</a>.The post <a href="https://startupindiamagazine.com/gaurav-bhagat-academy/">Future-Proofing Businesses: Why Inclusion is the Next Big Skill By Gaurav Bhagat, Founder, Gaurav Bhagat Academy</a> appeared first on <a href="https://startupindiamagazine.com">Startup India Magazine</a>.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Are you considering tattoo removal but unsure about what factors might impact the success of the process? Whether you’re regretting an old tattoo or simply ready for a change, understanding the key elements that affect tattoo removal outcomes can help you make an informed decision and set realistic expectations.
 
<h2>Tattoo Size and Location</h2>
The size and location of your tattoo play a significant role in the success of removal. Generally, smaller tattoos are easier to remove than larger ones, as they require fewer laser sessions and have a lower risk of complications. Additionally, tattoos located on areas with better circulation, such as the arms and legs, tend to respond better to treatment compared to those on the hands, feet, or face.
 
<h2>Ink Color and Density</h2>
The color and density of your tattoo ink can greatly influence the effectiveness of laser removal. Black and dark blue inks are typically the easiest to remove, as they absorb laser energy more efficiently. On the other hand, colors like green, yellow, and light blue can be more challenging and may require additional sessions. Tattoos with dense, heavy ink may also take longer to remove compared to those with lighter shading.
 
<h2>Age of the Tattoo</h2>
Surprisingly, older tattoos are often easier to remove than newer ones. As tattoos age, the ink naturally fades and breaks down, making it more responsive to laser treatment. If you have a fresh tattoo, it’s best to wait at least six months before starting the removal process to allow the ink to settle and your skin to heal completely.
 
<h2>Skin Type and Healing Ability</h2>
Your skin type and its ability to heal can impact the success and speed of tattoo removal. People with lighter skin tones generally experience better results, as there is less risk of pigmentation changes or scarring. Those with darker skin may require more caution and specialized laser settings to minimize potential side effects. Additionally, if your skin tends to heal slowly or scar easily, the removal process may take longer, and you may be more prone to complications.
 
<h2>Quality of Tattoo Removal Clinic</h2>
Choosing a reputable and experienced tattoo removal clinic is crucial for achieving the best possible results. Look for a clinic that uses advanced laser technology, such as Q-switched lasers, and employs trained professionals who understand the intricacies of tattoo removal. For example, if you’re considering <a href="https://removery.com/tattoo-removal/locations/tx/austin/">Austin tattoo removal</a>, research local clinics and read reviews from previous clients to ensure you’re in good hands.
 
<h2>Patience and Consistency</h2>
Tattoo removal is a gradual process that requires patience and consistency. Most tattoos need multiple laser sessions, spaced several weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. It’s essential to follow your clinic’s recommended treatment plan and attend all scheduled appointments to maintain progress. Keep in mind that complete removal may not always be possible, especially for complex or colorful tattoos, but significant fading can still be achieved with dedication and persistence.
 
<h2>Aftercare and Lifestyle Habits</h2>
Proper aftercare and healthy lifestyle habits can support the tattoo removal process and promote better healing. After each laser session, follow your clinic’s instructions for caring for the treated area, which may include keeping it clean, moisturized, and protected from sun exposure. Maintaining a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and avoiding smoking can also help your body heal more efficiently between treatments.
In conclusion, the success of tattoo removal depends on a variety of factors, from the characteristics of your tattoo to the quality of the clinic you choose. By understanding these key elements and setting realistic expectations, you can make a well-informed decision and embark on your tattoo removal journey with confidence. Remember, patience and consistency are essential, and with the right approach, you can achieve the results you desire.The post <a href="https://startupindiamagazine.com/5-factors-that-affect-tattoo-removal-success/">5 Factors That Affect Tattoo Removal Success</a> first appeared on <a href="https://startupindiamagazine.com">Startup India Magazine</a>.The post <a href="https://startupindiamagazine.com/5-factors-that-affect-tattoo-removal-success/">5 Factors That Affect Tattoo Removal Success</a> appeared first on <a href="https://startupindiamagazine.com">Startup India Magazine</a>.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Manila, March 25, 2025 – FunStep, a Philippine health technology company, announced today that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Department of Health, Philippines. The two parties will work together to promote a healthy lifestyle for all and advocate low-carbon environmental protection actions. This cooperation marks the first mobile application in the Philippines with the “step economy” as its core to be recognized by the government. In the future, it will empower public health through technology and help the country achieve sustainable development goals.
Government endorsement, technology helps promote health for all
According to the memorandum of cooperation, FunStep will carry out in-depth cooperation with the Philippine Department of Health in the following areas:
1. Data sharing and analysis: FunStep’s anonymous step data will assist the government in monitoring national sports trends and optimizing public health policies;
2. Healthy initiative promotion: The two parties jointly launched national activities such as the “Daily 10,000 Steps Challenge” to encourage people to improve their physical fitness and prevent chronic diseases through walking;
3. Environmental protection linkage plan: The “low-carbon steps” accumulated by users can be exchanged for tree planting quotas or donations to environmental protection projects, realizing the dual value of health and ecology.
Dr. Maria Reyes, Undersecretary of the Philippine Department of Health, said at the signing ceremony: “FunStep’s innovative model perfectly fits the national health strategy. It not only lowers the threshold for the public to participate in sports, but also transforms personal behavior into social benefits. It is a model of public-private sector collaboration.”
FunStep: Make every step count
FunStep is a health app with the core function of “walking to make money”. Users’ daily walking data can be converted into “gold coins” or cash rewards in real time, and the value can be redeemed in the following ways:
– Direct withdrawal: After reaching a certain step threshold, users can withdraw cash through e-wallets;
– Exchange for goods: Gold coins can be exchanged for healthy food, sports equipment and partner brand coupons in the App store;
– Charity donation: Users can choose to convert their steps into support for environmental protection organizations or community medical projects.
Since its launch, FunStep has attracted more than 500,000 Filipino users, with a cumulative recorded step count of more than 20 billion steps, equivalent to reducing carbon emissions by about 1,500 tons. Its unique incentive mechanism is especially popular among young people and office workers, and its user activity is 40% higher than similar apps.
About FunStep
FunStep was founded by a local team in the Philippines. With the mission of “Move for Good”, it is committed to solving social problems through gamification design. The company has received multiple rounds of international impact investment and was named “the most socially valuable startup in 2024” by Asia Technology Weekly. Founder and CEO Juan Dela Cruz said: “Cooperation with the government will accelerate our coverage of more communities, especially in rural areas. In the future, we plan to connect to the public transportation points system to make walking the first choice for low-carbon living for Filipinos.”
Looking to the future
The signing of this memorandum of cooperation is an important step for FunStep to expand public application scenarios. The company revealed that it will launch a “corporate health plan” in 2025, allowing employers to customize step benefits for employees and further open up the business closed loop of health management.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[[Hanoi, Vietnam] — The international community continues to trace the flow of funds linked to Truong My Lan, the real estate mogul at the center of Vietnam’s largest financial fraud case. According to whistleblowers and findings from an in-depth investigation led by Vietnamese authorities, in collaboration with international anti-money laundering agencies, Interpol, and the U.S. Department of Justice, a complex web of cross-border transactions has been uncovered after a year-long probe.
 
During her control over SCB Bank, Truong My Lan is alleged to have funneled hundreds of millions of dollars through accounts held by a Vietnamese subsidiary of a mysterious Taiwanese footwear tycoon surnamed Chang. The funds were transferred through fabricated transactions, including donations and charitable contributions, ultimately directed to the United States and Taiwanese foundations. These foundations are reportedly operating under the pretense of promoting human rights and democracy but are allegedly controlled by senior officials within the Taiwanese government.
 
According to insiders, these officials include a Secretary-General of Taiwan’s National Security Council surnamed Wu, an Economics Minister surnamed Wang, and a Defense Minister surnamed Gu—all of whom are believed to either directly oversee or participate in these illicit activities.
 
Investigations further reveal that multiple high-ranking Taiwanese officials have, under the arrangement of the footwear tycoon, secretly visited Vietnam and were hosted by Truong My Lan at luxury hotels in Ho Chi Minh City. Authorities have reportedly gathered substantial evidence implicating individuals within Taiwan’s Presidential Office and economic agencies. According to informants, these officials allegedly facilitated Truong My Lan’s money-laundering operations, profiting from their involvement.
 
The case first came to light following complaints from South Korean investors who had purchased properties from Van Thinh Phat Group’s development projects in Ho Chi Minh City and were subjected to fraudulent bond issuances. Approximately 10% of the victims are South Korean nationals. Furthermore, SCB Bank, through partnerships with several South Korean commercial banks, attempted to use these institutions to facilitate bond issuance. However, the transactions were blocked by South Korea’s stringent anti-money laundering protocols.
 
Ultimately, the funds were successfully channeled through Taiwan’s governmental network, resulting in the largest financial fraud case in Vietnam’s history. The international judicial cooperation mechanism continues to investigate the intricate network behind the scheme, with further revelations expected as the probe deepens.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[[Washington, D.C.] — According to sources within the U.S. Department of Commerce, the Trump administration is preparing to revoke previous tariff exemptions granted to Taiwan’s semiconductor industry, and intends to impose a 30% tariff on Taiwanese semiconductor companies, including global foundry leader Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). This move signals a significant shift in U.S. policy toward Taiwan’s semiconductor sector.
 
The Trump administration, driven by its core objectives of bolstering American manufacturing, reducing foreign dependency, and safeguarding national security, has imposed hefty tariffs on products from China and other regions. However, Taiwan’s semiconductor industry, particularly TSMC’s imports, has been exempted from these tariffs to maintain stability in the U.S. semiconductor supply chain.
 
Nevertheless, the White House has expressed strong dissatisfaction with the effectiveness of these exemptions. According to high-level national security sources, the administration believes that the exemption policy has failed to achieve its intended goals. Companies such as TSMC have not relocated substantial production capacity to the United States and have instead continued expanding operations in Taiwan. Additionally, concerns over severe money laundering and corruption issues within Taiwan’s leadership, as well as unreliable negotiations and diplomatic practices, have contributed to the administration’s growing frustration.
 
White House officials argue that the preferential policies extended to Taiwan’s semiconductor sector have instead encouraged further investment by TSMC within Taiwan rather than the U.S. This outcome contradicts the Trump administration’s broader strategy to revitalize American manufacturing and establish a resilient, independent supply chain.
 
In an effort to increase pressure on TSMC and other Taiwanese semiconductor firms to relocate production facilities to the United States, the administration is considering a 30% tariff on imports from Taiwan’s semiconductor sector. The measure aims to enhance the competitive advantage of U.S.-based manufacturing and incentivize TSMC to expand its operations on American soil.
 
Senior White House officials have gone as far as to label the previous exemption policy as a “failed strategy”, pledging to take decisive action to secure a stronger U.S. position in the global semiconductor industry.
 
Although the Trump administration has not yet made an official statement on the matter, the proposal has already sparked widespread concern and apprehension within the industry. Experts caution that imposing such a high tariff on Taiwan’s semiconductor industry could trigger significant disruptions to the global supply chain.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[AI tools like ChatGPT and other image generators follow strict content policies, which sometimes prevent them from generating specific styles, such as Ghibli-style artwork. If you’ve encountered this error:
“I wasn’t able to generate the Ghibli-style artwork because the request didn’t follow our content policy.”
It means the request conflicts with AI’s ethical or legal guidelines. However, there are alternative ways to create similar artwork, including using <a href="https://x.ai/">Grok AI</a>, a newer AI model that provides more flexible image generation capabilities.
<hr class="" data-start="645" data-end="650" />
<h2 class="" data-start="652" data-end="703">Why AI Won’t Generate Ghibli-Style Artwork</h2>
The main reason for this restriction is copyright protection. Studio Ghibli’s animation style, characters, and designs are protected intellectual property. AI platforms enforce policies that prevent generating artwork mimicking copyrighted styles or specific artists.
Here are the key reasons why AI restricts Ghibli-style requests:
<ol data-start="1048" data-end="1448">
<li class="" data-start="1048" data-end="1196">
Copyright Protection – Studio Ghibli owns the rights to its artistic style, and AI models avoid creating content that might infringe on it.
</li>
<li class="" data-start="1197" data-end="1323">
Ethical AI Practices – AI platforms aim to respect original artists and studios by preventing unauthorized imitation.
</li>
<li class="" data-start="1324" data-end="1448">
Policy Compliance – AI companies must follow legal regulations to prevent lawsuits related to copyright violations.
</li>
</ol>
<hr class="" data-start="1450" data-end="1455" />
<h2 class="" data-start="1457" data-end="1495">How to Work Around This Issue</h2>
Even though AI won’t generate exact Ghibli-style artwork, you can still create similar visuals by using alternative approaches. Here’s how:
<h3 class="" data-start="1640" data-end="1672">1. Modify Your Request</h3>
Instead of asking for “Ghibli-style artwork,” describe the art style in more general terms:
<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/2705.png" alt="✅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Example of an AI-friendly request:
<ul data-start="1811" data-end="2056">
<li class="" data-start="1811" data-end="1932">
“Create a hand-drawn fantasy village with warm colors and soft lighting, inspired by traditional Japanese animation.”
</li>
<li class="" data-start="1933" data-end="2056">
“Generate an illustration of a peaceful countryside with rolling hills, cozy cottages, and a dreamy, painterly effect.”
</li>
</ul>
By avoiding direct references to “Ghibli,” AI may still generate an image that captures the same mood and aesthetic.
<hr class="" data-start="2178" data-end="2183" />
<h3 class="" data-start="2185" data-end="2240">2. Use AI Art Generators with Custom Settings</h3>
Some AI tools allow fine-tuning of artistic elements. Instead of requesting “Ghibli-style,” use settings that mimic the feel of their animation.
<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/2705.png" alt="✅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> AI tools you can try:
<ul data-start="2419" data-end="2705">
<li class="" data-start="2419" data-end="2522">
MidJourney – Use prompts like “soft shading, hand-painted anime background, dreamy atmosphere.”
</li>
<li class="" data-start="2523" data-end="2624">
Stable Diffusion – Adjust model settings to create detailed 2D animation-style illustrations.
</li>
<li class="" data-start="2625" data-end="2705">
Runway ML – A great tool for AI-assisted animation and painting effects.
</li>
</ul>
<hr class="" data-start="2707" data-end="2712" />
<h3 class="" data-start="2714" data-end="2757">3. Use AI to Assist Human Artists</h3>
Another option is to generate concept art using AI and then work with a human artist to refine it into a Ghibli-like piece.
<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/2705.png" alt="✅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Steps to follow:
<ol data-start="2910" data-end="3157">
<li class="" data-start="2910" data-end="2973">
Generate a rough AI concept based on general descriptions.
</li>
<li class="" data-start="2974" data-end="3063">
Hire an illustrator on platforms like Fiverr, ArtStation, or DeviantArt.
</li>
<li class="" data-start="3064" data-end="3157">
Ask them to refine the AI-generated image into something closer to Studio Ghibli’s look.
</li>
</ol>
<hr class="" data-start="3159" data-end="3164" />
<h3 class="" data-start="3166" data-end="3230">4. Create Ghibli-Style Art Yourself with Digital Tools</h3>
If you’re interested in making your own Ghibli-inspired artwork, try digital painting software.
<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/2705.png" alt="✅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Recommended tools:
<ul data-start="3357" data-end="3614">
<li class="" data-start="3357" data-end="3441">
Procreate (iPad) – Perfect for hand-drawn painting with anime-like textures.
</li>
<li class="" data-start="3442" data-end="3517">
Adobe Photoshop – Great for digital illustrations and soft shading.
</li>
<li class="" data-start="3518" data-end="3614">
Krita (Free & Open Source) – An excellent free alternative for creating anime-style art.
</li>
</ul>
For tutorials, YouTube has many step-by-step guides on how to paint in a Ghibli-like style.
<hr class="" data-start="3711" data-end="3716" />
<h3 class="" data-start="3718" data-end="3761">5. Explore Online Art Communities</h3>
If AI isn’t an option, connecting with artists who specialize in Ghibli-inspired art can help. Websites like:
<ul data-start="3874" data-end="3925">
<li class="" data-start="3874" data-end="3887">
Pixiv
</li>
<li class="" data-start="3888" data-end="3906">
DeviantArt
</li>
<li class="" data-start="3907" data-end="3925">
ArtStation
</li>
</ul>
Have artists who create and share art similar to Ghibli’s style. You can learn from them, commission artwork, or collaborate on projects.
<hr class="" data-start="4068" data-end="4073" />
<h2 class="" data-start="4075" data-end="4098">Final Thoughts</h2>
AI content policies prevent generating direct Ghibli-style artwork due to copyright restrictions. However, you can still create similar art by:
<ul data-start="4245" data-end="4561">
<li class="" data-start="4245" data-end="4308">
Using descriptive prompts instead of direct references.
</li>
<li class="" data-start="4309" data-end="4375">
Experimenting with AI art generators with custom settings.
</li>
<li class="" data-start="4376" data-end="4435">
Hiring human artists to refine AI-generated images.
</li>
<li class="" data-start="4436" data-end="4503">
Using digital painting software to create artwork yourself.
</li>
<li class="" data-start="4504" data-end="4561">
Exploring online art communities for inspiration.
</li>
</ul>
While AI has limitations, creativity has no boundaries. With the right approach, you can bring your Ghibli-inspired visions to life! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f60a.png" alt="😊" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f3a8.png" alt="🎨" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />The post <a href="https://startupindiamagazine.com/why-ai-shows-i-wasnt-able-to-generate-the-ghibli-style-artwork-and-how-to-fix-it/">Fixing the Error: ‘I Wasn’t Able to Generate the Ghibli-Style Artwork Because the Request Didn’t Follow Our Content Policy</a> first appeared on <a href="https://startupindiamagazine.com">Startup India Magazine</a>.The post <a href="https://startupindiamagazine.com/why-ai-shows-i-wasnt-able-to-generate-the-ghibli-style-artwork-and-how-to-fix-it/">Fixing the Error: ‘I Wasn’t Able to Generate the Ghibli-Style Artwork Because the Request Didn’t Follow Our Content Policy</a> appeared first on <a href="https://startupindiamagazine.com">Startup India Magazine</a>.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[New Delhi, India – Recent reports about the United States’ interest in building a military base on St. Martin Island, a strategically important location in the Bay of Bengal near Bangladesh, have sparked significant debate and concern, particularly from an Indian perspective. The potential establishment of a US military base on the island could have far-reaching implications for India’s military deployment, national security, and its relationship with the United States.
In 2024, former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina claimed that the US had expressed interest in acquiring St. Martin’s Island during her tenure. While the US government denied these claims, the possibility of such a base has remained a concern for India, given the island’s proximity to its eastern coastline and its potential impact on regional security dynamics.
The year 2024 marked a notable shift in the geopolitical landscape of South Asia and the Indian Ocean Region. As part of its broader Indo-Pacific strategy, the United States began exploring opportunities to expand its military presence in the area. St. Martin Island, located near Bangladesh, emerged as a potential site for a new US military base due to its strategic location, which offers control over key maritime routes in the Bay of Bengal and access to the broader Indo-Pacific region.
The proposal for the base was reportedly discussed during high-level diplomatic talks between the US and Bangladesh. While Bangladesh initially remained non-committal, the possibility of such a base raised concerns in New Delhi. India, which has traditionally viewed the Bay of Bengal as part of its sphere of influence, expressed apprehensions over the militarization of the region and its potential impact on regional stability.
If the US military base on St. Martin Island becomes a reality, it could significantly alter India’s military and strategic calculations. The presence of a US military base so close to India’s eastern seaboard could be seen as a strategic encroachment. India has long sought to maintain its strategic autonomy and dominance in the Indian Ocean Region. A US base in the Bay of Bengal could challenge India’s influence and complicate its ability to project power in the region.
The base could also trigger a security dilemma, prompting neighboring countries to increase their military presence in the region. This could lead to an arms race, destabilizing the area and undermining India’s security. Additionally, the Bay of Bengal is a critical maritime zone for India, serving as a gateway to the Malacca Strait and the broader Indo-Pacific. A US military base on St. Martin Island could complicate India’s maritime security operations, particularly in terms of monitoring and securing its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The presence of a foreign military base could also limit India’s operational freedom in the region.
The US base could enhance the surveillance capabilities of the United States in the region, potentially allowing it to monitor Indian military movements and activities. This could undermine India’s strategic secrecy and compromise its defense preparedness.
The construction of a US military base on St. Martin Island could have a mixed impact on India-US relations, which have been steadily strengthening over the past two decades. While the two countries share common interests in maintaining a free and open Indo-Pacific, the base could introduce new complexities. India values its strategic autonomy and has historically been wary of foreign military presence in its neighborhood. The establishment of a US base so close to its territory could strain the trust between the two nations, particularly if India perceives the move as undermining its regional influence.
On the other hand, the base could also serve as an opportunity for enhanced India-US military cooperation. If the US consults India and addresses its concerns, the two countries could collaborate on joint surveillance, intelligence-sharing, and maritime security initiatives in the Bay of Bengal. Such cooperation could strengthen their strategic partnership and contribute to regional stability.
India would need to carefully balance its relations with the US and other regional powers. While India has grown closer to the US in recent years, it also maintains strategic ties with other nations. The presence of a US base in the region could force India to recalibrate its foreign policy to avoid alienating any major power.
The potential construction of a US military base on St. Martin Island represents a significant geopolitical development with profound implications for India’s military deployment, national security, and foreign policy. While the base could enhance the US’s strategic presence in the Indo-Pacific, it also poses challenges for India’s regional influence and security. The Indian government will need to engage in proactive diplomacy to address its concerns and ensure that its strategic interests are safeguarded. At the same time, the situation presents an opportunity for India and the US to deepen their partnership, provided that both nations work together to address the complexities of the evolving regional security landscape.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[According to reports from《Tibet Times》on March 18th, at the 17th session of the congress in Tibet-government –exile,on March 18th ,Panpa Tsering,the governor and financial gallon of the Central Tibetan Administration,announced the due to the suspension of US aiding funds.the Ministry of Finance had carried out a detailed reconciliation of the expenditures of various departments at the end of January to March.To maintain the current staffing levels and ensure employees’ salaries are not reduced, the Tibetan National Organization (TNO) has issued a statement announcing that the Kashag (Cabinet) Committee will conduct a multi-day meeting in accordance with laws and regulations. This meeting will primarily review the financial budget for the coming year for all departments under the Kashag Committee. During the fifth to seventh days of the meeting agenda, the committee reviewed the financial budget for the overseas missions of the Central Tibetan Administration.In three months,various departments spend a total of 120 million Indian rupees,the government continued to seek to recover foreign aiding funds,and had raised 150 million Indian rupees aids. According to sources,“this funding aids come from the Indian government”.
According to sources, On January 20, 2025, US President Trump signed an executive order titled “Reassessment and Adjustment of US Foreign Aid”, the United States has suspended its aid funds to Central Tibetan Administration in Dharamshala. In early March 2025, Panpa Tsering visited the Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Education in succession. Given the potential financial challenges facing the Tibetan government-in-exile, the purpose of these meetings was likely to explore solutions. Although not yet clearly confirmed, Panpa Tsering may have used the opportunity of these visits to seek financial assistance from India or discuss ways to resolve economic difficulties. The focus of these discussions was likely on obtaining funds to alleviate fiscal pressure.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Sustainability is not just a passing trend—it is the future. And if we observe the pioneers of this movement, a striking pattern emerges: many of the brands championing sustainability are founded and led by women. From ethical fashion and conscious beauty to zero-waste packaging and regenerative farming, women entrepreneurs are at the forefront of shaping a more responsible and compassionate world. But what is it about women-led businesses that make them natural leaders in sustainability? And how can we, as entrepreneurs and consumers, further drive this movement forward?
As the founder of One Less, a sustainable clothing brand built on the principles of ethical production, minimal impact, and timeless design, I have witnessed firsthand both the challenges and opportunities of leading a purpose-driven business. Sustainability demands long-term thinking, empathy, and resilience—qualities that many women entrepreneurs naturally bring to their leadership. More than that, women tend to build businesses with a deep sense of responsibility, not just toward their customers but toward the planet, their employees, and future generations.
One of the defining characteristics of women-led businesses is their commitment to being mission-driven, prioritizing long-term impact over short-term profits. Sustainability is not an afterthought or a marketing strategy; it is at the very core of how these businesses operate. At One Less, every decision we make—from sourcing fabrics to our 1 Purchase = 1 Tree initiative—is rooted in sustainability. We firmly believe that profitability should never come at the expense of people or the planet.
Women entrepreneurs also prioritize ethical production, fair wages, and circular design, ensuring that sustainability is embedded throughout the supply chain, not just in the final product. Some of the most innovative women-led brands are actively reimagining waste, supporting artisan communities, and integrating regenerative agriculture into their business models.
For instance:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Doh Tak Keh (founded by Pragati Srivastava) is redefining fashion waste by utilizing deadstock fabrics, upcycling materials, and introducing buy-back programs.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Okhai (led by Richa Pant, supported by Tata Chemicals Society for Rural Development) is empowering artisan communities by preserving traditional crafts and ensuring fair pay.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Upasana (founded by Uma Prajapati) is championing regenerative agriculture, demonstrating that sustainability and economic empowerment can coexist.</li>
</ul>
At One Less, we work closely with local artisans and ethical manufacturers, ensuring that every piece we create supports the people who make them while minimizing environmental harm. Consumers today demand more than just eco-friendly branding; they expect real transparency. Women-led brands are rising to this challenge, offering honest insights into their production practices, pricing models, and sustainability efforts. Unlike fast-fashion giants that rely on greenwashing tactics, purpose-driven brands embrace transparency by sharing supply chain processes, environmental impact reports, and even their challenges.
For us at One Less, transparency means:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Using GOTS-certified organic cotton and other low-impact fabrics like bamboo and Tencel.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Partnering with B-Corp-certified packaging suppliers to ensure fully compostable, plastic-free deliveries.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Engaging with our community—welcoming feedback and using it to refine our products, such as our Tencel Tank 2.0, which was redesigned based on customer input.</li>
</ul>
Perhaps the most inspiring aspect of women-led brands is their ability to build not just businesses but communities. There is a strong sense of collaboration rather than competition, where founders uplift and support one another. This ethos has led to meaningful partnerships, like our raffia collection handcrafted by artisans in Agra and our recent Dubai pop-ups, where we introduced conscious fashion to a global audience.
As entrepreneurs, we must continue innovating, collaborating, and making sustainability accessible to all. As consumers, we have the power to support brands that align with our values and demand accountability from businesses that fall short.
The future of business is conscious, inclusive, community-driven, and women-led.
Here’s to more purpose-driven brands, more impact-focused entrepreneurs, and a future where sustainability is not the exception—it is the standard.The post <a href="https://startupindiamagazine.com/the-role-of-women-led-brands-in-shaping-a-kinder-sustainable-future/">The Role of Women-Led Brands in Shaping a Kinder, Sustainable Future</a> first appeared on <a href="https://startupindiamagazine.com">Startup India Magazine</a>.The post <a href="https://startupindiamagazine.com/the-role-of-women-led-brands-in-shaping-a-kinder-sustainable-future/">The Role of Women-Led Brands in Shaping a Kinder, Sustainable Future</a> appeared first on <a href="https://startupindiamagazine.com">Startup India Magazine</a>.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[VICTORIA, Seychelles, 13 March 2025 — <a href="https://www.mexc.co/">MEXC</a>, the leading global cryptocurrency exchange, has released token listing and trading data for January and February, highlighting strong market demand for new tokens, particularly memecoins, despite overall market volatility and downturn.
Key Takeaways:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Meme coins accounted for 50% of all new tokens listed in January and February.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Seven out of the top 10 tokens by trading volume were launched in February, highlighting continuous demand for promising listings despite market volatility.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">The average peak increase for new tokens jumped from 388% in January to 660% in February, with TST surging by 4,792% and ELONSOL rising by 1,128%.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Four of the five best-performing tokens — TST, ELONSOL, MELANIA, and CAR — were linked to public figures, driven by the power of social trends.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">TRUMP accounted for over 45% of the total trading volume for new tokens.</li>
</ul>
The report covers 451 new tokens listed on MEXC between January and February, with memecoins accounting for approximately 50% (245 tokens). This trend reflects the growing investor appetite for community-driven and viral digital assets.

The findings reflect the growing investor appetite for community-driven assets. Among the top 10 new tokens by trading volume, seven were launched in February, demonstrating sustained demand for high-profile listings despite a more subdued overall market trend in January.
<img decoding="async" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT11h6Ir-nOFbxf1ceQZdm92IFZY12QFqakJnwzXIKAJhoiiYjKHGGeqMA7HE1tzKYZ9uI9qdzrm6OG0ZlhNsNoTdODIuTo4tll6jb2buGVR5Y9QqVheURha4RtPs2mHr4LIWP6OjqNWOIoCVtr2J5EOp1Dvfe2V_mUNLv3FDYebydDvV8ioPwq5RS_Kc/s16000/0122.jpg" />
February outperformed January in terms of average peak increases for new tokens, with the figure climbing from 388% to 660%.

The top 10 new tokens by trading volume recorded an average peak increase of 756%, underscoring the high level of trader interest and market activity.
<a href="https://www.mexc.co/en-IN/memecoin">Celebrity and politically themed memecoins</a> demonstrated significant price surges, with four of the top five best-performing tokens — TST, ELONSOL, MELANIA, and CAR — linked to public figures. The top three memecoins (TST, ELONSOL, and MELANIA) recorded an average peak increase of 2,338%, compared to 640% for the top three non-meme tokens (BSX, J, and RIZ).
<img decoding="async" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg89cLGq1soyZTh7neZBaXYoaQkjwEyI35ci9OYAFB6ajqAYrySx0pG4LvNyfKuCNTE6dw2b3lhCNS2C8dOWTVXvM4xxJKIhBGHYKto3XKF0oh43W3nbtnL6no6NAexBRv940pQHaSRMbdPixFHBO4YhDP_vHlYPgcgjicXcsjJzbN4T4JWKTvr9ZE8FY4/s16000/0123.jpg" />
The TRUMP token was a dominant force in the market, accounting for over 45% of the total trading volume for new tokens. It attracted significant market liquidity and investor interest, strengthening its position as a top-performing asset.

MEXC’s latest data highlights the continued demand for trendy tokens and social trends, with meme coins driving trading activity. The dominance of meme coins in listings and their record-breaking price surges highlight MEXC’s position as a leading exchange for discovering and trading early digital assets. As the exchange remains committed to supporting innovations and trends, its deep liquidity and diverse listings offer traders unique opportunities in the fast-moving digital asset space.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[By Bhavya Jain, Founder of That Happiness Project, I/O Psychologist, and Psychotherapist
Envision a world where everyone played by the rules, colored within the lines, and stayed on script. Safe? Perhaps. Dull? Absolutely. Innovation? Zero.
We know from history that the true game-breakers—the individuals who re-write society, science, and art rulebooks—are typically the ones described as being rebels, oddballs, or misfits. From Galileo to Einstein, from Frida Kahlo to Steve Jobs, the greatest minds didn’t merely tolerate being different—they enjoyed it. They wouldn’t be molded by society, and that’s exactly why they broke it.
Rules provide structure, but they constrain potential. Rebels subvert conventions, making “impossible” concepts possible. The Wright brothers defied doubters and developed the airplane. Alan Turing, in spite of social ostracism, invented the computer. These people were not only thinkers; they were disruptors. Rebels, misfits, and weirdos are world dominators now, they have inherited the earth.
Innovators/entrepreneurs often have a unique blend of creativity & unusuality, which can be described as “weirdness”. Entrepreneurs who have unconventional qualities and who do not conform to social norms have been perceived as weird. Some of the iconic innovators like Elon Musk & Steve Jobs were known for being unpredictable and for having different beliefs & thinking systems. Elon Musk’s bold vision for humanity’s future and Steve Jobs’ defiance of conventional business structures are just two examples of how the so-called “rebels” upend entire sectors and reshape possibilities.
However, what distinguishes them? Psychology provides intriguing explanations for why the true innovators are nonconformists.
Individuals who take bold risks and challenge societal norms tend to excel in their fields. This willingness to break rules and push boundaries can lead to revolutionary ideas and groundbreaking discoveries. Such individuals have also shown high needs for self-actualization and transcendence. They have also shown to exhibit nonconformist tendencies, such as eccentricity and a willingness to challenge authority, which are more likely to critically engage with existing social structures and thinking patterns, develop novel solutions that disrupt traditional norms, and achieve exceptional success in their respective fields.
By combining Amabile’s (1983, 1996) componential theory of creativity & Wood and colleagues’ (2007) theory of non‐normativity, we can propose that weirdness is a form of non-normativity, and it gives both positive and negative outcomes for entrepreneurs (Kim et al., 2023). The unique perspectives of entrepreneurs and innovations have contributed to the digital revolution (Isaacson, 2014). The unconventional thinking that makes them creative and different can also make them misunderstood or difficult to work with. Entrepreneurial thinking puts emphasis on adopting a unique mindset, which not only encourages them in problem-solving but also thinking differently about a situation and coming up with unconventional solutions (Valliere, 2023).
A brain imaging study done on cognitive flexibility suggested that entrepreneurs have greater cognitive flexibility than managers (Ooms et al., 2024). According to Simonton (2011), the nonconformists are those adaptable thinkers who can create unique options between unrelated ideas, and such divergent thinking is one of the needed skills for creative breakthroughs. Grant (2016) elaborates it further by saying that “originals” are often questioners who explore new and unconventional solutions without fear of failure.
Eccentricity, often known as quirkiness, has also been linked to creative potential. According to research conducted by Kim (2017), unusual behaviors and deviations from social “norms” make solving creative problems radical and give them an advantage when doing so. These are the people who can see opportunities that the rest of us simply miss because traditional thinking blinds us.
The road of the rebels is not a smooth one; society, of course, is resistant to changes, and social nonconformist thinkers need to surmount much skepticism before being accepted (Christensen et al., 1997). But then again, history shows us that these so-called weirdos have carried humanity forward.
Thus, embracing the Rebel-Weirdo Effect involves letting varied perspectives flourish, allowing established norms to be questioned, and freeing unconventional minds. Ultimately, it is those who have the guts to go against the norm that will write the future. Innovation thrives on those who dare to think differently. As Jobs once said, “The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do” (Isaacson, 2011).
Entrepreneurial weirdness is like a double-edged sword, as it can be their superpower and a liability. The key to handling this sword is “Balance”. One embraces and uses weirdness as a tool for innovation and also stays grounded enough to not let this weirdness resist executing ideas effectively. Many world-renowned entrepreneurs have embraced their uniqueness and used it to their advantage by pairing it with strategy and self-awareness.
In a world that is changing quickly, companies that strictly follow the rules frequently become obsolete. Businesses may remain ahead of the curve by cultivating a culture that embraces dissident voices and nonconventional ideas. After all, genuine innovation involves changing the rules rather than merely adhering to them. The real question is—do you have the courage to stand with the misfits, the rule-breakers, and the visionaries who are already shaping the future?

<content:encoded><![CDATA[The global fashion industry is at a critical juncture. While it remains a powerful force for self-expression and culture, it is also one of the largest contributors to environmental degradation. From excessive water consumption to textile waste and carbon emissions, the environmental footprint of fashion is undeniable. However, there is hope. As consumers become increasingly conscious of their choices, fashion brands must pivot toward sustainability, not as an afterthought but as a core philosophy. At VIRGIO, we are embracing this shift with technology-driven solutions, sustainable sourcing, and a commitment to ethical fashion.
<h3>The Impending Crisis</h3>
Fast fashion has fueled a culture of disposable clothing, where trends last weeks instead of seasons. This rapid production cycle leads to overproduction, with an estimated 85% of all textiles ending up in landfills each year. Moreover, synthetic fabrics, which make up more than 60% of clothing globally, shed microplastics during washing, polluting our water systems and ultimately entering our food chain. The fashion industry’s heavy reliance on fossil fuels for polyester production further exacerbates its carbon footprint.
Another pressing issue is water consumption. The production of just one cotton shirt requires around 2,700 liters of water—equivalent to what an average person drinks in 2.5 years. Meanwhile, toxic dyes and chemical-laden wastewater from textile factories continue to pollute rivers, affecting biodiversity and human health in production hubs across Asia.
The sustainability gap in fashion has widened due to these inefficiencies. For decades, the industry has operated on a linear model: design, production, consumption, and disposal. A significant challenge is the disconnect between consumer demand and production, which leads to overproduction and waste. To mitigate its impact, the industry needs to shift toward a circular and demand-driven model.
The Sustainability Gap in Fashion
For decades, the fashion industry has operated on a linear model: design, production, consumption, and disposal. Fast fashion’s relentless push for rapid production cycles has only exacerbated the problem. A significant challenge is the disconnect between consumer demand and production, which leads to overproduction and waste. To mitigate its impact, the industry needs to shift toward a circular and demand-driven model.
At VIRGIO, sustainability begins at the design stage. We leverage AI to identify emerging trends and forecast demand accurately, ensuring that we produce only what is necessary. This not only minimizes waste but also allows us to offer trend-forward fashion without compromising on environmental responsibility.
<img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="wp-image-8638 aligncenter" src="http://startupindiamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/VIRGIO-company-logo.png" alt="" width="416" height="253" srcset="https://startupindiamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/VIRGIO-company-logo.png 204w, https://startupindiamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/VIRGIO-company-logo-150x91.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 416px) 100vw, 416px" />
<h3>VIRGIO’s Approach: Technology, Transparency, and Thoughtful Design</h3>
Technology is reshaping how we approach sustainability. At VIRGIO, AI plays a pivotal role in every step of our supply chain. Our predictive analytics model helps determine which styles will resonate with customers, allowing us to produce in smaller batches and avoid the pitfall of unsold inventory. This is a game-changer in an industry notorious for excess production.
Moreover, our commitment extends beyond production efficiency. Transparency is key to building consumer trust, which is why we have introduced a first-of-its-kind transparent environmental impact tracker for each garment. On average, every VIRGIO garment saves approximately 500 liters of water, 43 MJ of energy, and 5 kg of CO2-equivalent emissions compared to conventional industry standards. By giving customers access to this data, we empower them to make informed, sustainable choices.
Sourcing and Manufacturing: The Ethical Imperative
Sustainability is not just about materials; it is about the entire value chain. Ethical sourcing and responsible manufacturing are fundamental to our brand ethos. Sustainable fabrics such as organic cotton, Tencel, viscose, and lyocell, cotton, linen constitute 76% of our material portfolio. However, these materials come with challenges—sourcing them at scale while maintaining affordability is a delicate balance.
Additionally, we work exclusively with partners who adhere to PETA-certified, Sedex-compliant, and Fair Trade manufacturing standards. Responsible factories that align with these standards are fewer, and most do not collaborate with small-scale brands. However, we have nurtured long-term partnerships that allow us to produce in controlled quantities, preventing unnecessary wastage. This approach ensures that our garments are not just environmentally responsible but also ethically produced.
 Tackling the Supply Chain Conundrum
The biggest challenge for sustainable fashion brands is managing a cost-efficient supply chain. Sustainable raw materials, such as organic cotton and linen, are significantly more expensive than the virgin polyester widely used by fast fashion brands. Additionally, integrating artisan-led collections, such as our Heritage Line, adds complexity due to variations in production timelines and seasonal cost fluctuations. Moreover, last-mile logistics pose another challenge. While digital infrastructure has improved supply chain efficiency, high logistics costs and delays remain persistent issues, particularly during seasonal demand spikes. Sustainable sourcing and ethical production further add to logistical complexities, making scalability a challenge. Despite these hurdles, VIRGIO remains committed to a lean, technology-driven, and demand-responsive supply chain that minimizes waste and maximizes efficiency.
Affordability Without Compromise
One of the biggest misconceptions about sustainable fashion is that it is expensive. At VIRGIO, we are committed to breaking this myth. Our price points range between ₹1,000-₹3,000, nearly half of what most sustainable brands in India charge. By optimizing our supply chain and producing in smaller batches, we ensure that sustainability does not come at a premium. We believe that eco-conscious fashion should be accessible to the many, not just the few.
The Future of Sustainable Fashion
As fashion brands, we have the power to shape consumer behavior. The future of fashion lies in an ecosystem where sustainability, innovation, and affordability coexist. Brands that fail to integrate sustainability into their core business models will be outpaced by conscious consumerism. At VIRGIO, we believe we are just beginning. We are not just creating clothes; we are building a movement, one that promotes responsible consumption, transparency, and ethical practices. The fashion industry may be a significant contributor to the climate crisis, but it can also be a powerful force for change. It is time we take responsibility and reimagine fashion for a better, more sustainable future.The post <a href="https://startupindiamagazine.com/fashions-role-in-addressing-the-climate-crisis-how-virgio-is-making-a-difference-by-mr-amar-nagaram-co-founder-ceo-virgio/">Fashion’s Role in Addressing the Climate Crisis: How VIRGIO is making a difference By Mr. Amar Nagaram, Co-Founder & CEO, VIRGIO</a> first appeared on <a href="https://startupindiamagazine.com">Startup India Magazine</a>.The post <a href="https://startupindiamagazine.com/fashions-role-in-addressing-the-climate-crisis-how-virgio-is-making-a-difference-by-mr-amar-nagaram-co-founder-ceo-virgio/">Fashion’s Role in Addressing the Climate Crisis: How VIRGIO is making a difference By Mr. Amar Nagaram, Co-Founder & CEO, VIRGIO</a> appeared first on <a href="https://startupindiamagazine.com">Startup India Magazine</a>.
