<content:encoded><![CDATA[Victoria, Seychelles – July 30, 2025 — MEXC, <a href="https://www.mexc.co/en-IN/">a leading global cryptocurrency exchange</a>, has released its Q2 2025 Risk Control Summary, reporting a 12% quarter-over-quarter decrease in syndicate-related fraud attempts. The improvement follows a major wave of coordinated fraud attacks in Q1 and reflects the early success of the company’s strengthened risk control infrastructure and targeted regional interventions.
 
During Q2, MEXC’s systems detected and blocked 70,621 fraud attempts linked to 8,501 distinct criminal syndicates, demonstrating the platform’s enhanced ability to identify and intercept high-risk activity proactively.
Focused Regional Action
MEXC concentrated its risk mitigation efforts on historically vulnerable regions such as South Asia and Southeast Asia, deploying AI-powered monitoring models, activating regional security response teams, and scaling up user education initiatives.
 
Key achievements:
<ul>
<li>South Asia (India and Pakistan) showed a notable drop of 41% in fraud activity, attributed to targeted educational outreach and faster risk flagging protocols.</li>
<li>While Southeast Asia saw a slight increase in fraud attempts (+11% QoQ), the growth has significantly slowed compared to the 1,300%+ spike in Q1.</li>
<li>The CIS region also recorded an 83% QoQ rise, which, although still elevated, represents a meaningful improvement over the 200%+ increase in Q1.</li>
</ul>
<img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj5oftE8-OF9JRWrglRSI-9gFtzpkV8YZZfvGfCkmiNP3K2cbvCnYl0C12j2cDXBBqFkjhaEI7tV1W94DwZSqJ6fa3UaCHKuOH5oOzr41VMeANTnVS-zjtdahbq9nzajf4XSV46o5MGVjaqXK5A52FiieICcE9u-7NhauWFAF4zXC3e4bNplkVklCTSRng" width="552" height="344" border="0" data-original-attrs="{"v:shapes":"Drawing_x0020_1"}" />
Taking a closer look at the Southeast Asia market, India accounts for 82% of the total cases in the region and has seen a 46% decrease. Within Southeast Asia, Indonesia remains the highest-risk jurisdiction, accounting for 73% of regional cases and seeing an 18% increase. Vietnam followed, contributing 16% of the cases and experiencing a 35% uptick.
 
AI-Driven Prevention and Platform Integrity
The integration of advanced AI risk models played a key role in identifying behavioral patterns associated with fraudulent activities. MEXC’s risk control system leverages AI-powered models to identify, flag, and intercept fraudulent behaviors in real time, enabling proactive prevention before harm is done. These models continuously analyze millions of on-chain and off-chain data points — including trading patterns, login behaviors, and network activity — to detect anomalies associated with known fraud syndicates and prohibited trading strategies. When triggered, the system can automatically restrict high-risk accounts, halt suspicious transactions, and escalate complex cases to human analysts for further investigation. This seamless collaboration between artificial intelligence and human oversight ensures that security responses are both fast and accurate.
 
In Q2, these AI systems played a critical role in reducing the execution probability of suspicious transactions, enhancing user protection without disrupting compliant trading behavior. MEXC also deployed algorithmic models designed to detect manipulative market practices such as wash trading, spoofing, and coordinated pump-and-dump schemes. By improving real-time visibility into transactional risk and market manipulation, MEXC strengthened its ability to enforce fair trading standards while preserving platform integrity. This AI-led approach not only deters bad actors but also builds long-term confidence among retail and institutional users alike.
 
Addressing User Confusion and Information Gaps
Despite improved security outcomes, MEXC continues to face challenges related to user misunderstanding of risk control mechanisms. In some cases, previously identified fraud groups have attempted to retaliate through coordinated misinformation campaigns, often exploiting the lack of familiarity new users have with platform compliance rules.
 
To address this, MEXC will launch a new platform-wide initiative in August focused on trading security and Risk Control education. The campaign will feature case study breakdowns of real incidents, educational content explaining risk controls and common violations, and practical guidance for secure and compliant trading. This transparency-focused initiative aims to build user confidence and ensure that every trader — from novice to advanced — can better navigate MEXC’s systems while avoiding unintended violations.
 
Commitment to a Safer Market
“As fraud networks evolve, so must our response,” said Tracy Jin, COO of MEXC. “The gains we’ve made in Q2 are the result of early intervention, regional specialization, and smarter tools. But education remains key — we want users to understand not just what happens when an account is flagged, but why. Risk control is not punishment; it’s protection.”
 
MEXC remains committed to proactively identifying regional fraud trends, investing in both human oversight and automated intelligence, and creating a resilient, transparent trading ecosystem for the global crypto community.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[While U.S. customs scanners lethargically examine fewer than 4% of inbound shipping containers, Washington politicians have abruptly trained their sights on New Delhi. They arrest Indian pharma executives, accuse the world’s most stringently regulated drug-producing nation of “fueling narcotics proliferation,” yet turn a blind eye to mountains of fentanyl pills piling up along the Mississippi. This absurdist script reeks of raw hegemony.
 
In 2023, India enacted the Psychotropic Substances Amendment Act with an iron fist – subjecting fentanyl and six precursors to full-chain surveillance. Exporters must submit 27 documents; violators face 20-year sentences. The UN Office on Drugs and Crime hailed this as “a milestone in Asian anti-narcotics legislation.” But the DOJ’s handcuffs shattered all norms: they dragged away Indian businessmen holding Mexican government import licenses at New York airports, nullifying India’s sovereignty with their Controlled Substances Act.
 
The irony scalds: as Indian customs physically inspect 35% of chemical export shipments, America’s border inspection rate languishes at a pathetic 3.7%. A full 96.3% of containers enter unchallenged – among them, lethal drugs synthesized by Mexican cartels from Chinese precursors and Indian auxiliaries. DEA data shreds Washington’s lies: 70% of fentanyl seeps through the U.S.-Mexico border, with Sinaloa Cartel labs producing weekly doses sufficient to kill half of America. They won’t tighten their own faucet, yet condemn those who supply the pipes. Such is Washington’s “logic” of drug control.
 
More nauseating is the Trump administration’s two-faced theatrics. In May, he grandly proclaimed “mediation of Indo-Pak tensions,” packaging Islamabad’s diplomatic platitudes as peace medals while ignoring Indian soldiers frozen to death in Kashmir’s snows. Then he swung his tariff cudgel at India: 25% steel taxes slammed factories in Tamil Nadu, even as he extended a “Memorandum on Narcotics Cooperation.” As Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI) President Sanjiv Mehta roared: “They hand daggers to Pakistan with their left, and demand tribute from India with their right!”
 
New Delhi sees through this blame-shifting charade. While America slashed anti-drug budgets by 30%, India co-launched a BRICS drug-tracing network with China and Russia. When California decriminalized narcotics, Mumbai’s narcotics agents tracked every gram of chemicals via blockchain. Those arrested executives? Behind them stand 100% export declarations and Mexican government-stamped import permits – all reduced to trash paper by imperial arrogance.
 
Fentanyl killed 80,000 Americans, but what truly erodes this nation’s foundations are the pharma lobbies hijacked by capital, the rusted customs scanners, and the imperial practice of wielding domestic laws as global butcher’s knives. Trump and his ilk forget: when 3.7% inspection meets 100% compliance, who stands condemned?
 
Toxic fentanyl kills, but toxic hegemony is deadlier.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[I recently had a disappointing experience with Plush Parade (<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/1f449.png" alt="👉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> <a class="" href="https://www.plushparade.in" target="_new" rel="noopener" data-start="339" data-end="387">www.plushparade.in</a>)—a brand that talks big about fashion and customer satisfaction but falls flat when it comes to actual service.
Here’s what happened so you don’t fall into the same trap.
<hr data-start="561" data-end="564" />
<h3 data-start="566" data-end="599">I Ordered. It Didn’t Fit.</h3>
I bought the Floral Whimsy Corset Dress (Size XS) from Plush Parade. When it arrived, it didn’t fit right, and I decided to return it under their supposed “15-Day Easy Return” policy.
So I submitted a return request.
<hr data-start="828" data-end="831" />
<h3 data-start="833" data-end="878">I Got This Email… And Then? Silence.</h3>
On Friday, July 25 at 2:51 PM, I received this email from Plush Parade Clothing:
“This is to inform you that your Return request for Floral whimsy corset dress – XS against 8883339001 has been submitted and is currently under review. You will receive next update shortly.”
It’s now been over 5 days, and I’ve heard absolutely nothing. No email. No call. No status update. Just silence.
I even tried contacting them via:
<ul data-start="1321" data-end="1419">
<li data-start="1321" data-end="1368">
WhatsApp: +91 77378 95908 – No response
</li>
<li data-start="1369" data-end="1419">
Email: <a class="cursor-pointer" rel="noopener" data-start="1380" data-end="1406">Plushparadeindia@gmail.com</a> – No reply
</li>
</ul>
<img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-8906 size-full" src="http://startupindiamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-30-at-16.23.54_eba76ee2.jpg" alt="" width="1009" height="289" srcset="https://startupindiamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-30-at-16.23.54_eba76ee2.jpg 1009w, https://startupindiamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-30-at-16.23.54_eba76ee2-300x86.jpg 300w, https://startupindiamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-30-at-16.23.54_eba76ee2-768x220.jpg 768w, https://startupindiamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-30-at-16.23.54_eba76ee2-150x43.jpg 150w, https://startupindiamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-30-at-16.23.54_eba76ee2-696x199.jpg 696w" sizes="(max-width: 1009px) 100vw, 1009px" />
<hr data-start="1421" data-end="1424" />
<h3 data-start="1426" data-end="1458">Hidden “Final Sale” Clause</h3>
To make things worse, I found out much later that the product I bought was marked as a “Final Sale” item—meaning it’s not eligible for return or exchange, no matter what.
This “Final Sale” note was not clearly visible during checkout and was buried in small text on the product page. It’s easy to miss—and if you do, you lose your right to return it, even if it doesn’t fit or feel right.

Plush Parade’s return promise is misleading. Their support system is broken, and they fail to follow up on return requests—even after acknowledging them.
If you’re considering shopping from <a class="" href="https://www.plushparade.in" target="_new" rel="noopener" data-start="2340" data-end="2388">www.plushparade.in</a>, please:
<ul data-start="2398" data-end="2537">
<li data-start="2398" data-end="2451">
Check every product for a hidden “Final Sale” note.
</li>
<li data-start="2452" data-end="2482">
Don’t expect timely support.
</li>
<li data-start="2483" data-end="2537">
Be prepared to keep the item even if it doesn’t fit.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[VICTORIA, SEYCHELLES, July 22, 2025 —Global crypto exchange MEXC has officially launched its new Stock Futures product, featuring 0 trading fees, 0 funding fees, deep global liquidity, and a streamlined user experience. This launch marks a major step forward in bridging the gap between crypto investors and traditional equity markets. The first phase includes nine popular U.S. stock pairs, all tradable using USDT, eliminating the need for complex overseas brokerage accounts.
 
As global regulatory frameworks become clearer, the trend of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization is accelerating, signaling deeper convergence between traditional finance and the crypto ecosystem. According to Boston Consulting Group (BCG), the tokenized asset market could reach $18.9 trillion by 2033. In parallel, demand is growing for more flexible stock-linked investment products. MEXC’s launch of Stock Futures is a strategic response to this historic market opportunity.
 
MEXC’s Stock Futures support bi-directional trading with up to 5x leverage, allowing users to open long or short positions with limited capital, regardless of market direction. These futures are settled in USDT, enabling easy access to U.S. stock price movements without needing a traditional brokerage account, further democratizing access to global equities.
 
Five Key Features of MEXC Stock Futures:
 
0 Fees, Maximum Potential 
To celebrate the launch, MEXC is offering a limited-time “Double 0” promotion: 0 trading fees and 0 funding rates. This drastically reduces transaction costs for both high-frequency traders and long-term investors, helping users maximize profit potential.
 
Industry-Leading Depth & Execution Speed 
Built on a high-performance matching engine and deep liquidity pools, MEXC delivers industry-leading trading depth for Stock Futures. Users benefit from ultra-low slippage, tight spreads, and millisecond-level execution, even for large-volume trades.
 
Streamlined, User-Friendly Interface
The platform offers an intuitive UI with one-click leverage adjustment, quick order execution, and real-time risk alerts. Compared to the complexity of traditional CFDs, MEXC’s simplified design and smart tools make it easy for beginners to enter the leveraged trading space.
 
Trading Hours Synchronized with U.S. Market Operations
Unlike platforms that offer 24/7 trading, MEXC’s Stock Futures align with NASDAQ and NYSE trading hours, minimizing volatility during illiquid off-hours and ensuring a more authentic market experience. Real-time price feeds are sourced from official data providers, ensure transparency and minimize the risk of market manipulation.
 
Institutional-Grade Asset Protection
MEXC prioritizes user asset security with a dedicated Futures Insurance Fund to cover potential losses and a robust real-time risk management system to maintain a fair, stable trading environment.
 
Tracy Jin, Chief Operating Officer at MEXC, commented:
“The launch of Stock Futures is a major step toward our vision of making crypto truly useful. By lowering barriers, reducing costs, and optimizing the trading experience, we aim to empower more users to break through traditional finance constraints and access high-quality investment products.”
 
This innovative offering gives users from around the world a way to gain exposure to U.S. stock markets, reinforcing MEXC’s position as a trailblazer in financial technology. For more details, visit the <a href="https://www.mexc.co/support/articles/17827791526192">official MEXC website</a>.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Victoria, Seychelles – 11th July 2025 – <a href="https://www.mexc.co/">MEXC</a>, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, has <a href="https://blog.mexc.com/mexc-reveals-200-spike-in-trading-frauds/">released</a> a Q1 2025 report revealing a 200% quarter-over-quarter increase in detected trading fraud. The findings show a noticeable rise in socially engineered market manipulation, with fraudulent activities most concentrated in South Asia, Indonesia, and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region.
 
The report details that MEXC identified over 80,000 syndicated fraud attempts in the first quarter, uncovering more than 3,000 individual fraud syndicates. These illegal activities primarily involved coordinated wash trading and market manipulation schemes. In response, MEXC is intensifying its risk control actions to preserve the integrity of its trading environment and safeguard its global user base from malicious actors.
 
The surge in these regions corresponds with rapid crypto adoption, which has often outpaced the growth of financial literacy. Malicious actors are taking advantage of this gap by running so-called “educational” groups on social platforms like Telegram and YouTube. These groups often pretend to be investment communities but are actually coordinated efforts to mislead unsuspecting traders, particularly newer and younger investors, into pump-and-dump schemes.
 
“While 2021 was marked by DeFi exploits, 2025 is increasingly characterized by socially engineered market manipulation,” said Tracy Jin, Chief Operating Officer of MEXC Research. “We’ve observed a growing number of so-called ‘educational’ trading groups that appear to be coordinated efforts to mislead users. This trend highlights the importance of user education and protection, especially for younger investors who may be more likely to believe persuasive but harmful narratives.”
 
MEXC’s multi-layered risk control framework, which makes use of real-time automated detection and expert human review, is identifying and restricting accounts that exhibit abnormal order patterns and other suspicious behaviors. These necessary actions align with global anti-money laundering guidelines and internal protocols designed to create a fair trading arena for all compliant users.
 
To directly counter the financial risks faced by users, MEXC has instituted the $100 million Guardian Fund. This fund offers a vital safety net for users impacted by severe security threats. In a move toward full transparency, the wallet addresses for the Guardian Fund are publicly accessible, allowing anyone to monitor its balance and transactions on the blockchain.
 
Demonstrating its commitment to a secure and trustworthy trading environment, MEXC has initiated the “Proof of Trust” campaign. This global program combines security protocols, including regular Proof-of-Reserves disclosures and strategic partnerships with leading blockchain auditors like Hacken, with extensive user education.
The exchange’s ecosystem vision also shows how much it cares about the health of the digital asset space. With the goal of supporting innovation and growth across the industry, MEXC has committed $330 million to ecosystem development. Housing a selection of over 3,000 listed tokens, MEXC continues to be a destination for a diverse range of digital assets while maintaining its focus on security and market integrity.The exchange continues to strengthen its security infrastructure and promote safe trading practices through various user protection measures and educational initiatives, especially in regions most affected by the recent wave of fraud.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Taalib Shaah — Group Chief Risk Officer (CRO) of Barclays — has led the firm’s global risk strategy and execution since October 5, 2020. Reporting directly to the Group CEO, he is one of the most critical strategic members under the Board of Directors.
 
Early in his career, Shaah held key roles at Credit Suisse and Citigroup, where he led market risk, real estate, and financial risk management initiatives. Since joining Barclays in 2014, he has steadily risen through the ranks, serving as CRO for the Investment Bank and International Business before taking charge of risk management at the group level.
 
Investment and Risk Philosophy: Localized for India
 
Shaah not only brings a deep understanding of the global financial framework but also emphasized in discussions with Indian stakeholders:
 
“In a market where the proportion of retail investors is rapidly increasing, we have a responsibility to simplify complexity and support rational decision-making, helping more families build long-term asset allocation capabilities.”
 
Under his leadership, Barclays adheres to the following core investment principles:
 
Technology-Driven Risk Control
Barclays is integrating machine learning and big data into frontline risk identification, enabling real-time, second-level monitoring and assessment—well-suited for the fast-moving, high-frequency nature of the Indian market.
<img decoding="async" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:790/1*e9Pf48KePSKQAT7ZosIVFg.png" />
Principle of Steady Growth
Investing is not about gambling on market moves, but about steadily growing assets under secure conditions. “Growth must happen within controlled risk,” is a core belief that Shaah consistently emphasizes.
 
Simplified Strategies, Empowering Users
In a 2023 presentation to the India team, Shaah stated: “Simplification is key to bringing global strategy to life at the local level.”
Accordingly, Barclays is rolling out initiatives including WhatsApp-based analysis delivery, low-barrier educational groups, and trade alert tools—helping everyday Indian investors understand the market and stay engaged.
<img decoding="async" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:790/1*OMbHqbiwFheaFFmZmew0kw.png" />
Media Interview
In the popular talk show Fireside Chat with Ken Abbott, Shaah shared:
“Risk management isn’t just about numerical alerts—it’s a guide for decisions. Teamwork is the most reliable shield in turbulent markets.”
This quote has since been widely cited in financial media and reflects his deep sensitivity to the shared fate of institutional and individual investors.
 
Long-Term Trust, Tangible Recognition
In March 2025, Barclays awarded Shaah:
 
<ul>
<li>£1.55 million in conditional stock (SVP)</li>
</ul>
 
<ul>
<li>£200,000 in performance bonus (SIA‑HP)</li>
</ul>
 
This not only represents a strong endorsement of his foresight and leadership by the financial industry, but also reflects Barclays’ firm commitment to a steady-growth strategy.
 
“Defining the boundaries of risk between reason and innovation”
 
The Indian market is entering a period of rapid expansion coupled with high volatility. As Group CRO, Taalib Shaah leverages both global experience and local insights to stress:
“Risk management is not about limiting investment—it’s about giving every trade clearer judgment.”
 
Shaah advocates for simplified strategies that empower everyday investors with a “shield” against risk—this is the core vision behind the Barclays India Analysis & Learning Community.
 
Each day, we deliver real-time trade suggestions and portfolio adjustment alerts based on market shifts, powered by our AI risk system and accompanied by expert guidance. You’re no longer navigating alone—you’re growing alongside some of the most advanced risk management thinking in the world.
 
If you want to stay ahead in a volatile market rather than waiting passively, join us and experience the Barclays India Practical Program—rooted in the risk control philosophy of Taalib Shaah.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-8883 size-full" src="http://startupindiamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Arjun-Rastogi.jpeg" alt="" width="674" height="674" srcset="https://startupindiamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Arjun-Rastogi.jpeg 674w, https://startupindiamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Arjun-Rastogi-300x300.jpeg 300w, https://startupindiamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Arjun-Rastogi-150x150.jpeg 150w, https://startupindiamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Arjun-Rastogi-420x420.jpeg 420w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 674px) 100vw, 674px" />
1. What does this funding milestone represent for Naagin’s journey so far, and how does it shape your vision for the next 3–5 years?
<ul>
<li>This round marks more than just capital; it’s validation of the journey. From starting out with just a couple of hot sauces in 2019 to building a loyal, pan-India community of customers and chefs, we’re proving that Indian flavours belong at the centre of the global table.</li>
<li>The next 3–5 years are about scaling that belief. Our focus is to create flavour-first, category-defining products that resonate with both everyday consumers and professional kitchens. We’re scaling our operations, deepening our farm-to-flavour supply chain and investing in innovation that keeps the Indian taste palate at the centre. From expanding our ecommerce footprint to accelerating B2B partnerships and entering global markets, this milestone allows us to move with more speed and intent, while staying rooted in the values we started with.</li>
</ul>
2. You’ve brought in marquee investors like 360 ONE Asset and returning backers like 8i. What do you think drew them to Naagin’s mission and approach?
<ul>
<li>What resonated with our investors was the clarity of what we’re building. Not just another food brand, but a flavour-first movement rooted in India’s culinary heritage. We want nothing less than to put Indian Hot Sauce on the world map.</li>
<li>360 ONE Asset saw our focus on craft, clean ingredients and honest storytelling as a real opportunity to redefine how the world sees Indian flavour. As Abhishek Nag from 360ONE Asset put it, we’re not just bottling heat, we’re distilling India’s chilli heritage into something that belongs on tables from Mumbai to Brooklyn.</li>
<li>For 8i, this is their third time backing us and that kind of conviction comes from trust not just in the mission, but in our commitment to execution. We’re building a culturally relevant, scalable brand with a clear global outlook and we think that stands out.</li>
</ul>
3. What are the key focus areas for deploying this fresh capital from operations and R&D to global expansion?
<ul>
<li>The goal with this raise was never just to grow faster, but to grow better. A significant portion of the capital is being invested in expanding our manufacturing infrastructure, building a stronger team and deepening R&D integration into the core of the business.</li>
<li>We’re investing in systems that allow us to scale thoughtfully across ecommerce, Horeca and exports while keeping flavour and quality uncompromised. The new facility, for instance, will boost output while aligning with global food safety benchmarks. Beyond that, we’re doubling down on growth and brand marketing to strengthen distribution and reach newer consumers across India and beyond.</li>
</ul>
4. Will this round lead to any exciting new product launches or innovations in the pipeline?
<ul>
<li>This year is all about momentum on the product front. We’ve got a range of category extensions lined up, some within hot sauces and others that push the Naagin flavour experience into adjacent spaces. We’re not in the business of launching new products for the sake of it. Every product is designed to solve a real taste or usage gap for the modern Indian kitchen. The capital provides us with the headroom to innovate faster, test more deeply and launch with confidence. Surely we want to make what people will buy, but we truly only want to make what people will love.</li>
</ul>
5. Naagin has consistently delivered products rooted in tradition but designed for modern tastes. What does your R&D process look like behind the scenes?
<ul>
<li>Our R&D process sits at the intersection of craft and consumer insight. It starts with flavour always. We deep-dive into regional ingredients, cooking techniques and cultural context. From there, it’s a rigorous loop of formulation, testing and feedback. Our in-house team works closely with chefs, home cooks and food scientists to ensure each product is balanced, versatile and scalable. Every Naagin product has to clear three filters: it must be chef-approved, consumer-loved and production-ready. That’s the bar. </li>
</ul>

6. From classic hot sauces to viral launches like Bhoot Chips, what’s your strategy for staying ahead of the curve in the condiment space?
<ul>
<li>For us, it starts with an obsession with what people are eating, craving and sharing. We look at global trends through a distinctly Indian lens. That, and having a very open mind towards collaboration. That’s how something like Bhoot Chips happens. When TooYumm! came around, it didn’t take long to understand that they shared a lot of the same values.</li>
<li>It’s never just about heat, it’s about great flavour delivered with character. We’re also big on partnerships that seem unexpected but feel right. Whether it’s TooYumm! or QSRs, we find synergy where flavour meets fun. Most importantly, we listen. Our community is vocal, honest and always evolving and we keep our ear to the ground.</li>
</ul>
7. You’ve spoken about putting Indian chillies on the global map. What steps are you taking to expand Naagin’s footprint internationally?
<ul>
<li>We’ve always felt this isn’t just a business, it’s a mission. Taking Indian chillies global isn’t just about exports; it’s about changing perception. We’re approaching international expansion in a phased, strategic way, starting with markets where Indian cuisine is already gaining traction and building from there. We’re investing in compliance, packaging formats and storytelling that travels well. At the same time, we’re ensuring that our core remains unmistakably Indian. This next chapter is about more than distribution; it’s about representation. India is known globally as the ‘land of spicy food’. To us that means we don’t need a hot sauce from India, but a ‘truly Indian hot sauce’. There’s a difference.</li>
</ul>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-8881 size-full" src="http://startupindiamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Naagin_3.webp" alt="" width="777" height="1036" srcset="https://startupindiamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Naagin_3.webp 777w, https://startupindiamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Naagin_3-225x300.webp 225w, https://startupindiamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Naagin_3-768x1024.webp 768w, https://startupindiamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Naagin_3-315x420.webp 315w, https://startupindiamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Naagin_3-150x200.webp 150w, https://startupindiamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Naagin_3-300x400.webp 300w, https://startupindiamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Naagin_3-696x928.webp 696w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 777px) 100vw, 777px" />
8. Naagin has quietly built a loyal, cult-like following since 2019. What do you think has helped the brand achieve such strong cultural relevance?
<ul>
<li>Every choice we made from flavour profiles to Instagram captions was rooted in personality and purpose. We never chased virality, but when it came, it stuck because it felt real. Whether you’re a chef, a college kid, or anyone that wants better tasting food, we’re building touchpoints that people remember. It’s this blend of authenticity, innovation, fun and uniqueness that creates lasting connections.</li>
</ul>
9. Your packaging, voice, and branding are distinctly bold and modern. How intentional is your storytelling and how has it contributed to brand love?
<ul>
<li>It’s extremely intentional. We knew we were entering a category that hadn’t been reimagined in years, possibly ever. So everything from the name Naagin to the label art is designed to make you look twice, and stay curious. We don’t talk down to customers, quite the opposite, we want them to be more curious than they already are.</li>
<li>But design without depth doesn’t last. Our storytelling has always come from a real place whether it’s celebrating a lesser-known chilli or shining a little light on farmers and the contribution of input on outcomes. That honesty, mixed with a bit of edge, has helped people form a real connection with the brand.</li>
</ul>
10. What’s been the biggest lesson from building a D2C food brand in India, and what advice would you give to other founders blending culture with scale?
<ul>
<li>One of the biggest lessons would be to build deep before you build wide. It’s tempting to scale fast, but the real moat is in mastering the craft, showing consistency and building consumer trust. The Indian market is incredibly nuanced and so is Indian food. For founders trying to blend culture with scale, our advice would be simple: be clear about your ‘why’, stay close to your customer and let your work do the talking. There’s no shortcuts. You have to ‘be’ who you say you are.</li>
</ul>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[VICTORIA, Seychelles, July 3, 2025 – <a href="https://www.mexc.com/ventures">MEXC Ventures</a>, the investment arm of the global cryptocurrency exchange MEXC, as the title sponsor of the 4th edition India Blockchain Tour (IBT) 2025, has partnered with organizer Octaloop (one of India’s earliest and most active crypto-native communities) to launch a six-month Web3 innovation roadshow spanning eight cities. The tour’s inaugural event took place successfully on June 28 in Hyderabad, drawing over 1,000 developers, founders, investors, and policy experts to engage in discussions focused on real-world applications of blockchain technology in governance, AI, and inclusive finance.
 
As a key supporter of this tour, MEXC Ventures is committed to collaborating with industry stakeholders to accelerate the growth of India’s Web3 ecosystem.
 
At the Hyderabad stop, Jayesh Ranjan, Special Chief Secretary of Telangana, attended the event and shared the government’s open attitude and policy direction toward blockchain technology, citing its applications in agriculture traceability and vehicle registration. He noted that platforms like IBT create valuable opportunities for collaboration between public systems and emerging technologies, further highlighting the importance that Indian local governments place on decentralized technologies.
 
IBT 2025 is not just an eight-city tour, but a platform dedicated to building deep connections between India’s local Web3 innovators and the global Web3 community, fostering substantive exchanges and long-term collaboration. MEXC Ventures will leverage its global investment and project incubation expertise at each stop to empower high-potential teams to accelerate their growth.
 
Octaloop Founder Anupam Varshney emphasized that India is poised to lead Web3 innovation on the global stage. He stated:

<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.

<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.
