GSEAMS signs sports icon Sangram Singh as its exclusive talent
MUMBAI: GSEAMS (Global Sports Entertainment And Media Solutions) – which in less than a year’s time – after successfully establishing the intellectual property division and movie marketing division has forayed into its third division “GSEAMS – Talent Management” which has signed on its first talent sports star, actor, youth icon and Bigg Boss finalist Sangram Singh.
Speaking on this new found association Arjun Singgh Baran and Kartik Nishandar say: “We are very happy to have Sangram Singh on board with us. He epitomises the youth of the country as well as his connect with the common man is tremendous. Our core focus in the coming few months would be on youth and fitness brands which can have a good connect with their target audience by associating with Sangram Singh. Sangram has been one of the only few candidates who has come out with such a clean image even from a show like Bigg Boss. Sangram also has no vices and he believes in high moral values and a no supplement fitness regime. He believes that through the power of the mind one can achieve anything. We are in talks with multiple television channels, production houses for roles best suited for him. We also would soon be launching a range of sports apparel and accessories under Sangrams own label and are in talks with prospective partners for the same.”
Commenting on the association Sangram Singh says: “I have known Arjun and Kartik from a long time and have seen the work both of them have put in building the Big Live division they set up at Reliance Broadcast and also the way GSEAMS has been doing in the past one year. I am very excited with the plan that they have in store for me and look forward to working with them.”
After having a successful stint with Reliance Broadcast Network Arjun Singgh Baran & Kartik Nishandar started GSEAMS 10 months back. Since the inception of the company there has been no looking back for the media duo wherein under the media solutions division the team has been involved in marketing more than eight movies with banners such as Viacom, Eros and others, providing media solutions to clients like Reliance Infra and creating television content be it their own IP such as the IMA Marathi Music Awards on Star Pravah or producing shows for other channels and clients.
Clear domain understanding and a passion for media marketing through new age channels and mediums are the reasons why Arjun and Kartik chose to foray into the above divisions and now the talent management wing.

Maharashtra panel orders Lodha to refund Rs 5 crore to homebuyers
Consumer court flags unfair practices in long-running property dispute case
MUMBAI: In a sharp rebuke to one of India’s biggest real estate players, the Maharashtra State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission has directed Macrotech Developers to refund nearly Rs 5 crore to a senior citizen couple, Uttam and Anindita Chatterjee. The ruling, delivered on March 13, 2026, calls out the developer for “deficiency in service” and “unfair trade practices”, bringing closure to a dispute that has stretched over a decade.
The case traces back to 2015, when the couple booked a 3-BHK flat at World Towers in Lower Parel for Rs 12.22 crore, with possession promised within a year. What followed was a series of changes that complicated matters. After deciding to exit the project, they were persuaded to shift to a 4-BHK in another development priced at Rs 8 crore, with delivery scheduled for 2018. However, within months, the price was allegedly increased to Rs 10 crore. After demonetisation reshaped the market, similar flats were reportedly being offered at lower prices, but the couple were not given the benefit.
Despite paying over Rs 2.83 crore, the couple neither received possession nor clarity. Instead, in 2018, the developer unilaterally cancelled the booking, retained part of the amount as earnest money, and argued that the buyers were investors rather than consumers. The commission rejected this claim, observing that casual references to “investment” do not take away consumer rights when the purchase intent is residential.
The bench also held that the developer could not penalise buyers for payment delays while failing to meet its own delivery commitments. It noted the lack of formal documentation for revised terms and termed the prolonged retention of funds without delivering a home as exploitative.
As part of its order, the commission directed the developer to refund Rs 2.83 crore paid by the couple, along with interest at 10 per cent per annum, amounting to around Rs 2.12 crore. In addition, Rs 1 lakh has been awarded for mental agony and Rs 50,000 towards litigation costs, taking the total payout to over Rs 5 crore. The developer has been asked to comply within two months.
For now, the ruling serves as a reminder that in real estate, shifting terms and delayed promises can carry a significant cost.
