A Poetic Short Film with Universal Resonance

Set in a remote Indian village with lush meadows and grazing cattle, Chhoti Baarish (Little Rain) tells the story of a young boy who longs to dance in the rain, despite constant scolding. With its lyrical tone and visual simplicity, the film reflects the innocence and instinctive artistry of childhood.

“This film was my attempt to preserve a child’s instinctive joy — singing before speaking, dancing before walking,” says Ritopriyo Saha, the writer-director. “It reminds us that every child is born an artist, until society gives them a script and calls it ‘growing up’.”

The short film has already been recognized at Bali International Film Festival (BALINALE 2025), Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival (DPIFF 2025), Jaipur International Film Festival (JIFF 2025) and other national and international platforms, continuing to build acclaim.

Expanding into Feature Films — Three Projects in Development

Building on the success of Chhoti Baarish, Ritopriyo Saha is preparing to pitch three upcoming feature film projects that explore emotional struggles within the Indian cultural landscape:

  1. Teen Yaari (Three Wild Kids)

A raw, coming-of-age story about three emotionally scarred teenagers — Zakir, Dev, and Masoom — who bond over their troubled family lives and decide to run away from their rural village. The film confronts trauma, friendship, and the fragile dreams of youth.

  1. May I Love U?

A near-future drama set in 2050, revolving around Reva, a single mother and photographer, who encounters Mayur, a super-intelligent humanoid AI with a passion for art, cinema, and love. Blending romance with sci-fi, the story explores loneliness, human-AI intimacy, and the healing of past wounds.

  1. Moh Maya Mukti

An A.I. animated fantasy-action-thriller following Maya, a warrior girl on a mystical journey of self-discovery, guided by a mythical tree named Mukti. Combining Indian mythology with visual spectacle, the project aims to push A.I. animation into the global spotlight.

Each project builds on Saha’s vision of exploring human emotions, social realities, and cultural identity through powerful, cinematic storytelling.

Industry Recognition & Upcoming Pitch

With Chhoti Baarish opening doors internationally, Saha will also present his feature film pitches at upcoming industry platforms, seeking independent producers, co-production partners, and global investors to bring these projects to life.

New Delhi [India], September 25: It is with immense pride and profound gratitude that we address you today, following the resounding success of the Early Education Excellence Awards 2025. On September 20th, the campus of Meridian Schools, Madhapur, transformed into a beacon of inspiration, honouring the silent yet monumental contributions of our twin cities’ preschool community.

This event was conceived with a singular vision: to shine a long-overdue spotlight on the foundational pillars of our education system–the preschool educators, administrators, and institutions that shape the minds and hearts of our youngest learners. The early years are not merely a preparatory phase; they are the very ‘Foundations of Lifelong Learning’–a truth that was brilliantly explored in our panel discussion. Esteemed leaders from across the educational spectrum engaged in a powerful dialogue, emphasising how quality preschool experiences are the most critical investment we can make in our children’s future, fostering curiosity, resilience, and a genuine love for learning.

We were deeply honoured to host a diverse and vibrant community of pioneers. The energy in the room was palpable, with the presence of renowned franchise chains like EuroKids, Kangaroo Kids, and My School Italy, alongside passionate, innovative standalone preschools. This confluence of experience and innovation highlighted a unified commitment to elevating early childhood education in India.

The 26 award categories were a testament to the multifaceted nature of excellence in this field. From recognising the ‘Best in 21st Century Skills’ and ‘Outstanding Community Outreach Programme’ to celebrating the heart of every classroom–the ‘ Emerging Preschool of the Year’ and the ‘Excellence in Innovative Pedagogy’–each category told a story of dedication. We heard success stories of centres transforming communities, of teachers who identified and nurtured unique potentials, and of leaders who built ecosystems of empathy and creativity.

The reactions of the winners were a beautiful mosaic of emotion. There were tears of joy from a first-time winner who whispered, “This validates twenty years of unseen work,” and triumphant cheers from a team that won ‘Best Standalone Preschool’, stating, “This shows that passion can compete with scale!”

The relevance of these awards extends far beyond the trophies and certificates. They are a crucial statement. They tell our preschool warriors that their work is seen, valued, and essential. For the K12 sector, it reinforces the undeniable link between a strong early foundation and a child’s future academic and social success. For parents, it provides a beacon, guiding them to institutions where the journey of learning begins with excellence, care, and vision.

To the readers of this publication, we extend an invitation. Look to the preschools in your community not just as childcare centres, but as the incubators of future scientists, artists, leaders, and compassionate human beings. Support them, celebrate them, and recognise the profound role they play.

Our heartfelt congratulations once again to all the winners and nominees of the Early Education Excellence Awards 2025. You are the true architects of tomorrow, and yesterday, we built a stage to honour you.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Thank you for ensuring that first step is taken with confidence, wonder, and joy.

Leh, Ladakh, September 23: Nima Goos Goos — meaning “Sunflower” in Ladakhi — is the first-ever women-owned and women-led startup from Ladakh to raise equity funding, and has closed a landmark investment round with participation from prominent impact investors including Ritesh Agarwal, Group CEO and Founder, OYO, Sonali Mehta-Rao, Founder of Ahaana Ventures, and Mumbai-based Angel investor Anushi Mehta.

Founded by Padma Angmo and Rigzin Angmo, Nima Goos Goos is reshaping Ladakh’s culinary identity through artisanal Himalayan products that honour the land, traditions, and the women who sustain it. The enterprise works with women farmers and foragers from remote Ladakhi villages to source organically grown and wild-harvested ingredients, transforming them into unique, small-batch offerings, including handcrafted herbal tisane teas and condiments.

Inspired by ancestral knowledge and incorporating centuries-old culinary practices, Nima Goos Goos’s line of tisanes, pestos, and preserves use indigenous Himalayan ingredients, adapted for contemporary palates. At its core, Nima Goos Goos is pioneering a regenerative local economy—centering women cultivators and wild harvesters across Ladakh’s fragile mountain ecosystems. “This is more than just a funding milestone—it’s a movement to reclaim and re-imagine Himalayan food systems led by the very women who’ve safeguarded these traditions for generations,” said Co-founders Padma and Rigzin.

This equity infusion marks a turning point. Nima Goos Goos will now establish Ladakh’s first women owned and run food processing and packaging unit in Leh, while laying the groundwork for a premium tisane brand with global reach. By 2026, the enterprise aims to onboard hundreds of women farmers and foragers, creating a decentralized supply network rooted in traditional knowledge and local biodiversity. Early export interest from Japan, Europe, and Indian retailers and hospitality brands signals strong market demand.

Investor Sonali Mehta-Rao noted, “Nima Goos Goos is an extraordinary blend of community, commerce, and culture. Padma and Rigzin are not only preserving Ladakh’s food heritage—they’re elevating invaluable ancestral knowledge and rich biodiversity to global relevance with integrity and innovation.”

Alsisar Impact, a key early backer of frontier enterprises across the Indian Himalayas, played a catalytic role in scaling Nima Goos Goos. Their mentorship, on-ground presence, and investor facilitation enabled the founders to build a market-ready, impact-aligned brand while remaining anchored in community and climate resilience. “At Alsisar Impact, we believe enterprises from frontier regions like Ladakh are redefining the future of entrepreneurship—where culture, climate, and commerce intersect to create global impact. Nima Goos Goos is an example of that vision,” said Anuj Sharma, Co-Founder of Alsisar Impact.

As it enters this new chapter, Nima Goos Goos is setting new benchmarks for what it means to build a women-led, place-based food brand from one of the world’s most ecologically vulnerable yet culturally rich regions—bringing the bold, healing, and regenerative flavours of Ladakh to tables across the globe. 

In an era where cinema is colliding with technology at unprecedented speed, Indian filmmaker Gijo Uthuppu has emerged as one of the most intriguing creative figures to watch. A writer and director by craft, and co-founder of Avium Studios UK, Gijo is blending the traditions of Indian storytelling with cutting-edge innovation — making him a rare bridge between Bollywood, Hollywood, and the next wave of AI-powered filmmaking.

What makes Gijo’s trajectory stand out is not only his work on several Hindi feature films currently in development but also his role in reshaping the behind-the-scenes mechanics of global cinema. At Avium Studios UK, the team he co-leads has carved out a reputation for its expertise in AI-generated songs, AI-driven videos for films, advanced postproduction, and most notably, AI dubbing — a breakthrough tool that allows films to travel seamlessly across languages and markets.

Industry insiders describe Gijo as more than a filmmaker; he’s also a strategist. His understanding of marketing and promotion, especially in the digital-first era, has made him a valuable partner for producers looking to give their films international visibility. From designing cross-border promotional campaigns to tailoring content for global streaming platforms, his marketing strategies have helped films connect with audiences far beyond their home territories.

Gijo’s international collaborations have further cemented his standing. Working alongside Hollywood post-production houses and global creative partners, he has positioned himself — and Avium Studios UK — at the heart of conversations about the future of cinema. His projects bring together teams from India, Europe, and the United States, highlighting his ability to operate fluidly across borders while keeping an Indian filmmaker’s sensibility intact.

“Cinema today isn’t just about making films,” Gijo has said in past interviews. “It’s about making them travel—across languages, across cultures, across platforms. That’s where technology and strategy come in.”

From his early beginnings in Indian cinema to his current role at the forefront of AI innovation in film, Gijo Uthuppu represents a new generation of storytellers who refuse to see technology as a threat. Instead, he uses it as an amplifier — for stories, for voices, for audiences. As both a filmmaker and entrepreneur, his work signals where the industry is heading: a future where Indian stories have truly global reach.
