Manzuri, describes his work in a straightforward manner: “I sell orgasms for a living.” This statement, shared during an episode of the 1% Club with finance influencer Sharan Hegde, highlights Ritelin’s mission to challenge societal taboos surrounding sexual health in India. Manzuri, a Goa-based wellness startup, focuses on providing pleasure products for women, aiming to address the stigmatized conversations around sexual wellness. Ritelin explained that Manzuri, launched in 2019-2020, entered a market devoid of trustworthy sources for purchasing sex toys. “When we started, there was no player in the market where women could go and find a trustworthy and reliable source to purchase sex toys from,” he said. Due to the lack of recognition for sex toys in India, Ritelin refers to his company as a wellness startup rather than a sex toy company, noting the country's lag in pleasure technology. On the 1% Club video, Ritelin disclosed his financial status, revealing a liquid net worth of Rs 1.5 crore. His non-liquid assets are valued between Rs 8.5 to Rs 9.5 crore. Ritelin owns a 70% stake in Manzuri, which is valued at Rs 12 crore, bringing his total net worth to between Rs 10 to Rs 12 crore. He also shared that his annual expenditure is approximately Rs 40 lakh.

Sheetal Thamby has issued a legal notice to Manju Warrier, accusing the actress-producer of negligence on the set of the film 'Footage', which allegedly led to Sheetal sustaining severe injuries. According to the reports by Asianet News, the notice demands Rs 5 crore in compensation for the physical and financial toll resulting from the incident. Sheetal, who also served as an assistant director on the film, was injured while performing a fight scene in the Chimmini forest area. The legal notice claims that multiple takes of the scene were required, and the absence of proper safety measures contributed to the injury. Despite the seriousness of her condition, Sheetal alleges that the production company, Movie Bucket, failed to provide adequate medical attention, forcing her to undergo surgery at her own expense. So far, the company has only provided Rs 1.80 lakh in installments, leaving her financially burdened and unable to work. Ranjith Marar, Sheetal's lawyer, emphasised that there was no ambulance or basic medical facilities available on set, which worsened her situation. He also pointed out that Sheethal was made to perform the stunt herself—a task generally assigned to stunt doubles—leading to a significant escalation of her injuries. Despite her direct pleas for assistance and her participation in the film’s promotional activities, Sheetal claims that the promised compensation was never delivered, compelling her to take legal action against Manju Warrier and Bineesh Chandran of Movie Bucket.

Of course, certain unlisted companies or those listed on exchanges other than NSE as well as those gearing up for listing also need to appoint independent directors, but that number will be relatively small. The increased visibility, responsibility and remuneration of independent directors has led to rising awareness of this strategic role in Corporate India. Besides, several factors have spurred more aspirants to sign up to be independent directors. The big 'board refresh' this year-involving stepping down of independent directors who were completing 10 years (two terms) on a company's board-was expected to make way for new faces on the boards. Secondly, the need for women independent directors on boards increased.
