Tips for women to shift from burnout to mindful growth
Success has never been a one-size-fits-all. The first step is awareness to understand the concept of burnout and its root cause or what has caused it. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Namita Kothari, Founder of Akoirah, shared, 'True success is about staying rooted in your values while allowing yourself the space to evolve. In the world of luxury and lab-grown diamonds, where precision and perfection matter, it is easy to get consumed by pressure but mindful growth comes when we pause to align our ambition with intention.' She advised, 'You don't have to burn out to shine—you can rise by creating, innovating and nurturing your passion with presence.' Namita encouraged measuring success not just by milestones but by the impact you create—for your team, your customers and the community of women you hope to inspire. She asserted, 'Growth becomes meaningful when it's sustainable, value-driven and heart-led.' Bringing her expertise to the same, Kiara Jain, Founder of Mindful Living, revealed, 'If you're feeling drained, can't focus on anything, feel low all the time, have lost inspiration, maybe it's time to take a small break and normalise the need to take some time off for yourself. The pressure which women have, may make it difficult to do this, but understanding self care is the need of the hour.' She explained, 'Women often believe that they are growing only if they meet certain criteria of society (eg. getting married, having kids, having a certain career). However, mindful growth happens when one understands that it's not just about external expectations but also internal growth such as learning new skills, conquering your fears, learning from mistakes and so on.' The expert suggested, 'As a woman, it's important to strongly convey what is in your capacity to do and what's not. Replace negative self talk, with positive self talk through therapeutic inner dialogue. Speak to yourself as if you're speaking to a friend.'

Akshaya Tritiya 2025: Jewellers Bet Big On Discounts, Gold Coins And Exchange Schemes
Last Updated: Kalyan Jewellers and Akoirah are among the retailers that provide advantages like price-locking alternatives, exchange plans and guaranteed gold coins. Jewellery stores across India have rolled out a host of attractive offers ahead of Akshaya Tritiya, which falls on April 30 this year. Despite gold prices hovering around Rs 1 lakh per 10 grams, jewellers are optimistic about strong customer turnout, driven by festive demand and evolving buying preferences. Brands like Zen Diamond, Irasva, PP Jewellers by Pawan Gupta, Kalyan Jewellers, and Akoirah by Augmont are offering a range of deals, including price-locking schemes, gold exchange programs, assured gold coins, and significant discounts on making charges. At Kalyan Jewellers, customers can enjoy up to 50% off across various product categories. 'We've enhanced our exchange offer this season. Shoppers can bring in their old gold, have its purity tested, and trade it in for new, trendier designs. It's turning out to be a smart and popular choice," said Ramesh Kalyanaraman, Executive Director of Kalyan Jewellers, speaking to CNBC-TV18. In addition, the company is marketing its advance purchase scheme to appeal to budget-conscious consumers. 'It helps customers hedge against price volatility while planning their jewellery purchases," Kalyanaraman added. Meanwhile, Hazoorilal Legacy Jewellers are prioritising sophisticated shopping experiences and collections with a strong emphasis on design. 'Gold continues to dominate attention this year, much like last year—but with a key difference. The significant rise in gold prices has influenced consumer behaviour, leading to more considered, purposeful purchases," Ramesh Narang, Director, of Hazoorilal Legacy, told CNBC-TV18 during an interaction. Younger consumers are drawn to modern, minimalist diamond designs, Narang continued, and they have a particular penchant for verified, responsibly sourced stones. The strategy at Zen Diamond blends material rewards with emotional appeal. 'Despite gold prices nearing Rs 1 lakh, sentiment remains strong. We're offering a 1-gram, 24K gold coin with every purchase above Rs 50,000," said Neil Sonawala, Managing Director, as quoted by CNBC-TV18. Moreover, he observed a notable surge in online purchases. 'Online jewellery sales have grown by 30-50 per cent in the past year. Digital engagement is no longer optional — it's essential," Sonawala added. PP Jewellers by Pawan Gupta is having a 'Bangles Mela" at its outlets in South Extension, Karol Bagh, and Gurugram. Up till April 30, there will be a 5 per cent reduction in making costs. By offering a festive giveaway, Irasva is likewise following the trend. According to reports, Kalyan Jewellers observed a steady demand for figurines, kalash, and silver thalis, especially in spiritual and southern regions. The popularity of diamond jewellery is still rising in large cities. First Published:
