India's Top YouTube Creator Dhruv Rathee Teams Up with YC-Backed TagMango Founders to Launch AI Fiesta; Hits $3M ARR in Just 36 Hours
PRNewswire Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], August 20: In a world dominated by Silicon Valley AI breakthroughs, AI Fiesta is rewriting the rules. India's first AI super-app is scaling globally faster than some of the Valley's most iconic launches. One subscription. Six top AI models. Built in India for the world. Co-founded by India's #1 creator Dhruv Rathee (30M+ subscribers) alongside YC-backed Mohammad Hasan and Divyanshu Damani, co-founders of TagMango, India's largest creator platform is on track to facilitate over ₹1000 crores in creator earnings, combining mass influence, proven start-up execution, and deep trust. Within 36 hours of launch, AI Fiesta crossed $3 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) and gained 20,000+ paying users, setting a new benchmark for India's tech ecosystem. The platform unites six of the world's most powerful AI models in a single subscription, making sure users get the best of each model for whatever they want to do: writing, coding, design, analysis, and more. Priced at ₹999/month or ₹834/month annually (GST included), it delivers access to multiple premium AI tools at less than half the cost of a single subscription elsewhere. "AI Fiesta is the first global AI subscription born out of India - built on trust, affordability, and speed," said Dhruv Rathee. Speaking at the launch, Mohammad Hasan, said, "This isn't just a tech product, it's a movement. Our goal is simple: every Indian, from coders to creators, should have access to world-class AI without needing a foreign credit card or a $20/month budget. AI shouldn't be a luxury, it should be a utility, and AI Fiesta makes that possible." "Every AI model has different strengths--ChatGPT in reasoning, Gemini in images, Perplexity in search, Claude in writing, and so on. With AI Fiesta, you don't have to pick. We've brought the best of each into one subscription at a price that makes sense--so you always get the right tool for the right job, without compromise," said Divyanshu Damani. In a global first, AI Fiesta launched UPI payments, two days ahead of OpenAI, making AI seamless and accessible to millions across India's digital economy. Backed by a combined reach of 300mil+, the founding team has only just begun to unlock its full distribution power. The platform is already being seen as one of India's most significant contributions to the global AI ecosystem.

Russia has 'special mechanisms' to supply oil to India
Russia will continue supplying oil to India and the country's President Vladimir Putin will meet India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi by the end of year, a Russian embassy official in India said on Wednesday. Russia has a "very, very special mechanism" to continue oil supplies to India, Roman Babushkin, the charge d'affaires at the Russian embassy in India, told reporters at a press briefing, adding that India's crude oil imports from Russia will remain at the same level. No dates had been finalised for the Putin-Modi meeting yet, he said. The U.S. is set to impose an additional 25% tariff on Indian exports on August 28, citing their imports of Russian oil, which expanded after Western nations sanction Russian supply after its invasion of Ukraine. However, the U.S. has stopped short of imposing similar tariffs on China over its purchases of Russian oil. Last month, the European Union sanctioned Russian-backed Indian refinery Nayara Energy, leading the refiner to cut back processing and companies to curtail their trading with them. Trade between Indian and Russia was expected to grow 10% annually, Evgeniy Griva, Deputy Trade Representative of Russia to India said at the briefing.

All Lavasa suitors raise offers in third round; Valor Estates leads
Mumbai: All three bidders have increased their financial offers for the debt-laden Lavasa Corp in the third round of bidding, intensifying competition for what was initially billed as the first hill town to be built in Independent India. Valor Estates has substantially upped its bid to ₹946 crore on a net present value (NPV) basis, putting it ahead of the other two bidders. The Welspun-Ashdan combine has increased also its bid to ₹845 crore from ₹776 crore on a NPV basis earlier which has put the Mumbai based Yogayatan Group at number three on a NPV basis with a total NPV of ₹830 crore, people familiar with the development said. Meanwhile, based on the evaluation matrix, Welspun consortium has scored higher than both the other bidders. "All three bidders substantially increased their bids after they were given another chance. By the looks of it this battle will now continue because bankers will have to thoroughly go through the bids," said a person familiar with the details. Creditors to the debt-laden Lavasa Corp had extended the timeline for the resolution process, giving bidders another chance to increase their bids for the real estate venture, ET had reported in its August 7 edition. The extension was forced after one of the bidders, Valor Estates, submitted an improved revised plan. Live Events Last week, Mumbai based Yogayatan Group filed a petition in the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) opposing creditors' move to allow revised resolution plans for taking over the debt-laden Lavasa Corp. Yogayatan was opposed to calling for another round of bids because it had emerged as the highest bidder, with its offer of ₹795 crore on a NPV basis. "This time, despite its opposition, Yogayatan submitted a revised bid. It remains to be seen whether it acts on its NCLT plea or prefers to improve its bid further because it does not look like we have seen the last of this story," said another person aware of the details. Any litigation at this stage is likely to delay the process. EY-backed resolution professional Udayraj Patwardhan and process advisor BoB Capital Markets did not reply to an email seeking comment.
