House of Abhinandan Lodha partners with Zepto to help investors buy branded plots in its Vrindavan project
With just a few taps, users can browse available plots, submit inquiries, and connect with a HoABL expert through video consultation, all within 10 minutes.
HoABL's payment structure is designed for affordability: buyers start with a small, fully refundable token amount as an expression of interest, offering the flexibility to step back if needed. Subsequent payments are staggered, making land ownership more accessible and stress-free, the company said.
The Zepto app ensures that consumers get connected within 10 minutes to a HOABL expert, who will guide them through the process on a video call. To explore HoABL's Vrindavan project offerings, a user can just type 'land' in the search bar and will be directed to HoABL's dedicated page, the statement said.
'We are on a mission to democratise land ownership for Indians with our fully seamless and transparent digital-first model. Our shared vision with Zepto to make our respective offerings easily accessible through a convenient process makes this partnership very natural,' said Saurabh Jain, CMO at The House of Abhinandan Lodha.
'With our own app and website already offering a convenient digital buying journey, this collaboration with Zepto widens our reach, making wealth creation through land investment even easier and faster,' he said.
'The House of Abhinandan Lodha and Zepto are partnering to make access to land simple and digital. HoABL's app lets customers explore, select and buy plots online; bringing it onto Zepto's tech-strong platform takes that journey to where millions already shop. Timed with Janmashtami, premium plots in Vrindavan are now discoverable on Zepto for a limited time, another step toward democratising land," shared Chandan Mendiratta, Chief Brand and Culture Officer, Zepto.

GST Waiver On Insurance Premiums May Backfire, Push Prices Higher, Industry Players Warn
Last Updated: The GST Council may exempt term life and senior citizens' health insurance premiums from GST to boost adoption. Experts have mixed reactions, citing pricing increases and ITC loss. News18 In a big overhaul, the GST Council is mulling to exempt the 18% taxation of term life insurance premiums and health insurance premiums for senior citizens, aimed at boosting insurance adoption, especially among the elderly and middle-income groups. Currently, term life insurance premiums and all health insurance policies attract an 18% GST. However, a panel of ministers has proposed a full exemption for: term life insurance premiums for all policyholders, regardless of age; and health insurance premiums for senior citizens (above 60 years), with no upper limit on the sum insured. A large consensus of industry players is expecting that the move would lead to expand penetration and wider adoption among seniors and the middle class. However, R Balasundaram, Secretary General, Insurance Brokers Association of India (IBAI) calls it 'guarded optimism'. He said that insurers have already expressed that a zero GST on policies could lead to an increase in pricing, as the benefits of input tax credit of GST will not be available to them. Insurance premiums have been rising sharply—by 20–25% in some cases—while penetration remains low. Fewer than 40% of Indians have health insurance, and life insurance penetration is below 4%. Penetration of term life and health insurance remains extremely low, largely due to high age-related premiums, inflationary pressures, and the burden of GST, explained Surinder Bhagat, Head- Employee Benefits, Large Account Practices, Prudent Insurance Brokers. He believed that a move to zero GST from a high 18% can be transformative- it will make coverage more affordable for seniors, expand penetration, and encourage uptake of higher coverage limits. Sharad Mathur, Managing Director and CEO, Universal Sompo General Insurance said the move could lead to savings up to 18% annually for individuals. This could boost insurance adoption among seniors and the middle class, he added. Uncertainty Over Input Tax Credit A large consensus of experts are worried on the elimination of input tax credit (ITC) that could lead operational expenses and compress margins. For the industry, it may increase demand but slightly compress margins unless input tax credits are adjusted, said Mathur. Overall, the move is strongly positive for consumers and industry growth, though insurers must adapt to mitigate the ITC loss, emphaised Vaibhav Kathju, Founder of Inka Insurance. view comments First Published: News business » banking-finance GST Waiver On Insurance Premiums May Backfire, Push Prices Higher, Industry Players Warn Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Dhruv Rathee, TagMango founders launch AI Fiesta, India's 1st AI super-app
In a breakthrough moment for India's startup and creator economy, YouTube's biggest Indian creator Dhruv Rathee has teamed up with TagMango founders Mohammad Hasan and Divyanshu Damani to launch AI Fiesta — a subscription-based AI super-app that crossed $3 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) within just 36 hours of launch. Positioned as 'India's first global AI subscription platform,' AI Fiesta combines six of the world's top artificial intelligence models into a single subscription, promising a seamless, affordable, and accessible experience for users ranging from coders and designers to creators and professionals. ₹999/month (monthly plan) ₹834/month (annual plan, billed upfront) By comparison, a single premium subscription to ChatGPT or Claude costs around $20 (₹1,700–₹1,800) per month when billed directly in USD. For Indians without an international card, access is often difficult or comes at a markup via resellers. So in short: Subscribers can access the platform at ₹999 per month (or ₹834/month on annual billing, inclusive of GST) — less than half the cost of a single premium AI subscription in international markets. 'AI Fiesta is the first global AI subscription born out of India — built on trust, affordability, and speed,' said Dhruv Rathee, who commands a massive digital audience of 30 million+ subscribers across platforms. Value for Money: How Much Can You Save? Let's compare costs for a user who wants access to multiple AI platforms: ChatGPT Plus: $20/month (₹1,700) Claude Pro: $20/month (₹1,700) Perplexity Pro: $20/month (₹1,700) Gemini Advanced: $20/month (₹1,700) Total monthly outflow = ~₹6,800 (₹81,600 annually). 'AI Should Be a Utility, Not a Luxury' Highlighting the mission behind AI Fiesta, co-founder Mohammad Hasan said: 'This isn't just a tech product, it's a movement. 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.' TagMango, the creator monetisation platform also co-founded by Hasan and Damani, has already facilitated ₹1,000 crore+ in creator earnings. The founders are now channeling that execution experience and creator-first ethos into making AI widely accessible. A Global First: UPI Payments for AI In a significant innovation for accessibility, AI Fiesta launched UPI-based subscription payments — two days ahead of OpenAI's rollout — making global AI tools more seamless for India's digital-first population. '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 co-founder Divyanshu Damani. With Dhruv Rathee's influence and TagMango's proven scale, AI Fiesta is already being hailed as one of India's most impactful contributions to the global AI ecosystem. The founding team collectively commands a reach of over 300 million, giving the platform an unparalleled distribution advantage. Early traction — 20,000+ paying users in 36 hours — suggests this strategy is already paying off. Looking ahead, AI Fiesta plans to: Roll out automatic upgrades as new AI models launch globally Introduce support for Indian regional languages, expanding accessibility Provide monthly product updates for transparency Launch an iOS app to widen access Deliver a 'Prompt Book' with 3,000+ examples across 25 categories Build an active learning community with webinars, workshops, and shared best practices The long-term vision is clear: to make AI a daily productivity tool for millions, not a premium niche service. As Dhruv Rathee summed it up: 'AI Fiesta isn't just about building an app. It's about putting India on the global AI map.'
