A delegation of two members from South Korea visited the Maker Village, India’s largest electronic incubator in Kochi the other day, in connection with the K-Startup Grand Challenge 2018 to be held in Seoul in July, which will open a window for startups to compete and win attractive prizes.

The contest is being organised by the National IT Industry Promotion Agency, Korea (NIPA), which will give access to the contestants to Korea’s top tech companies with expertise ranging from smartphones and softwares to semiconductors. Besides presenting immense investment opportunities for Indian startups, it will also pave the way for Korean startups to come to India and operate.

The delegation, involving HyoGeun Kim, executive director, NIPA and Tak Lee, executive advisor, NIPA, said they were much impressed by the support and encouragement given by the Kerala government to boost the startup ecosystem in the state. “Some of the most modern equipment in the Maker Village is a perfect example of this,” they said.

The screening and interview of the competition, which is open to all the South West Asian countries, will be held at Bengaluru in July. Interested startups can begin applying through NIPA’s website, for which the closing date is June 14.

80 participants will get the opportunity to take part in the contest which will be held in Seoul. First, second, and third prize winners will get $10,0000, $40,000 and $20,000 respectively, followed by a consolation prize of $6,000. Those who are selected will get the opportunity to live in Korea for six months. Also, the first 40 startups will get monetary assistance worth Rs 15L.

When celebrities tie the knot, their weddings are often surrounded by a whirlwind of excitement. Strict ‘no-photo’ policies, tight security, and exclusive press appearances keep much of the event under wraps, but fans always sense when something special is happening. So when we scrolled through Instagram today and stumbled upon the wedding photos of actors Aditi Rao Hydari and Siddharth, it was a delightful surprise that instantly brought a smile to our faces. Yes, the lovebirds have officially tied the knot, and their dreamy wedding pictures look like something straight out of a fairytale.

The most endearing aspect of Aditi and Siddharth’s wedding is the sheer simplicity that radiates an overwhelming sense of serenity and grace. The bride and groom looked ethereal as they exchanged vows in the presence of their closest loved ones. The pure joy on their faces is simply contagious, making their day of love all the more heartwarming.

Aditi looks breathtakingly beautiful as a bride in her beige Sabyasachi saree, adorned with traditional gold jewelry that perfectly complements the intricate border of her wedding attire. Her handsome groom, Siddharth, keeps it classic in a white kurta pajama. The love between them is undeniable, and seeing the way Siddharth gazes at Aditi will make you wish for someone who looks at you with the same adoration.

The MTV Video Music Awards red carpet may not have the prestige of events like the Oscars or Cannes, but it has always delivered its own brand of unforgettable fashion drama. For decades, the VMAs have been a playground for bold and daring celebrity looks. Calling the event’s style “unconventional” is putting it mildly, as the red carpet has famously seen everything from sequin nipple pasties to dresses made entirely of meat.

This year was no exception, with stars stepping out in their most provocative ensembles. The 2024 VMAs red carpet featured standout moments like Chappell Roan in custom Y/Project, Anitta in custom Dolce & Gabbana, and Lisa in vintage Mugler. Below, we’ve rounded up our favorite fashion moments from the night.
