Mumbai: Fabindia, India’s leading lifestyle brand known for its commitment to traditional Indian craftsmanship and contemporary design, in collaboration with the Indian Navy, contributed to bringing together intellect, knowledge, and strategic thinking as the official lifestyle partner for The Indian Navy Quiz, “G20 THINQ.” The national finals were held in Mumbai at The Gateway of India on 18 November, 2023 and the international finals were held on 23 November at India Gate, New Delhi.
In New Delhi, for the International Finals, participants from all 24 countries were dressed in jackets made with Tussar Gicha, a wild silk which is also referred to as Tushar, Tussore, Tasar, Tussur, or Tusser in different regions across India. Contestant’s attire also consisted of white silk blended kurtas made with regenerated cellulose fabric, white churidars or tapered pants and handmade leather jutties.
For the national finals in Mumbai, participants from across 16 schools were dressed in immaculately crafted Ikat designs that carried the combined traditions and skills passed down to artisans through generations. In keeping with this theme, Fabindia offered specially curated gift hampers for the winners, combining Fabindia’s signature style with the spirit of G20 THINQ. This collaboration aligned seamlessly with Fabindia’s ethos of showcasing the diverse, vibrant, and sustainably conscious tapestry of India’s traditions.
G20 THINQ was an engaging and intellectually stimulating quiz, and Fabindia is honoured to be a part of this event. The partnership reflected the brand’s ongoing commitment to fostering a deep appreciation for India’s rich cultural heritage and its contribution towards global knowledge.
Fabindia would sincerely like to thank The Indian Navy and NWWA president, Mrs Kala Hari Kumar, for giving us this opportunity to contribute towards making THINQ a successful event.

Give Me Five mental fitness platform launches in India
Global tool for early stress detection debuts in Hyderabad with live demos.
MUMBAI: Give Me Five just gave mental fitness a high-five because when your mind needs a quick check-up, even the app shows up faster than your inner critic. Give Me Five, a global mental fitness platform focused on early detection and proactive wellbeing, was officially launched in India at a special event at The Park Hotel, Somajiguda, Hyderabad. Founded by Brendan Fahey (30 years years building community solutions in human services), Dr Lisa Fahey OAM (35+ years as a trauma-recovery psychologist) and Phil Dymock (technology lead for expansion across the US, Canada, Australia and now India), the platform encourages small, consistent check-ins to spot early signs of stress, anxiety or burnout before they escalate.
The launch featured a live demonstration of core features, quick mental fitness assessments, data-driven personal insights, wellbeing dashboards, and tools tailored for individuals, workplaces, schools and communities. By making early awareness simple and accessible, Give Me Five aims to foster supportive environments where people feel equipped to act sooner rather than later.
Give Me Five co-founder Brendan Fahey said, “Give Me Five was created with a simple idea that small, consistent check-ins can make a meaningful difference in how we understand and support mental fitness. By making early detection accessible through technology, we hope to empower individuals, organisations, and communities to recognise challenges sooner and build stronger systems of care and support.”
The platform arrives as mental health conversations in India gain urgency, with rising awareness of workplace stress, student burnout and everyday emotional load. Give Me Five positions itself as a preventive companion less about crisis response and more about daily maintenance for the mind.
In a world that tracks every step and heartbeat, Give Me Five quietly reminds us the most important metric is still how we feel—and sometimes all it takes is five minutes and a honest pause to keep the balance from tipping.
