Sri Adhikari Brothers initiative 2.0 Leads the fight against unemployment – An avenue for self-reliance/ Aatma Nirbharata for the affected migrant workers.
MUMBAI: While India is battling coronavirus at its forefront, unemployment has shaken the very core of its economy and its impact is likely to change the dynamics of its labor force essentially of migrant workers. To imbibe the PM’s thought of Atma Nirbharata, Sri Adhikari Brothers have opened a gateway of employment, to the less fortunate migrant workers who have been rendered jobless, through Sri Adhikari Brothers initiative 2.0.
For this initiative Sri Adhikari Brothers will use their network channels including Mastiii, Dabang, Maiboli and digital platforms to call out to millions of migrant workers who might have any talent that they would want to showcase. Be it dancing, singing, acting or any other performing arts would be welcome. The program would shortlist thousands of individuals month on month who have a hidden talent and will monetarily reward the chosen 1000 ones by means of direct bank transfer to their accounts. The chosen ones will also be aired on the network channels of the group.
Sri Adhikari Brothers, through its association, would further attempt to maximize growth for the talent by providing them a break in suitable professional opportunities.
Markand Adhikari shared a deep rooted human insight that motivated him to arrive upon this idea “Mostly all business minds get focused on protecting their business and bottom lines in such tough times. We are aware that millions of Indians have had to return back to their villages after being left with no option. No matter what job they were in, there’s a possibility that many of them had talent that they once in life might have had to compromise to earn their livelihood. We have often seen video of people on the street singing or dancing as well as any professional. Some fortunate ones have even touched the stars. Our attempt is to put a structure, reach out to millions of Indians in a planned manner – give them hope, give them employment and ensuring direct transfer of money into their accounts and thereby give them self-belief to be ‘‘Aatma Nirbhar”.
For this initiative Sri Adhikari Brothers have put aside a dedicated team that will be driving this program“.

Three-hour summit to unpack geopolitical fallout and impact on India
MUMBAI: CNN-News18 is set to host a special three-hour broadcast, Fury in the Gulf – War Conclave, on April 7, aiming to decode the escalating West Asia crisis and its far-reaching implications for India.
Scheduled from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, the conclave comes at a time when tensions between Iran and the United States are reshaping global geopolitics and triggering economic uncertainty. With India’s deep energy ties, trade links and large diaspora in the Gulf, the developments carry significant domestic relevance.
Built around the theme ‘Conflict, Consequences, and The Future,’ the programme will feature six curated sessions combining one-on-one interviews and panel discussions. The focus is to cut through the clutter and offer viewers a clearer understanding of the fast-evolving situation.
Key sessions include ‘Diplomacy in Times of War’ featuring Shashi Tharoor, and ‘World After the Iran Conflict’ with voices such as Ram Madhav, Reuven Azar, representatives from the European Union and the Iranian Deputy Envoy. Another session titled ‘Another Dunkirk?’ will bring together K. J. S. Dhillon and Jitin Prasada among others.
CNN-News18 editorial affairs director Rahul Shivshankar said, “In times of war, clarity becomes the most powerful tool. Fury in the Gulf – War Conclave brings together credible voices to address the questions and confusion that arise amid an overwhelming influx of information.”
He added that the initiative is aimed at delivering “facts, perspective, and insight” at a time when misinformation can easily cloud public understanding.
Echoing the sentiment, CNN-News18 CEO– English and business news Smriti Mehra said the conflict marks a defining global moment, with consequences that extend well beyond the region. She noted that the conclave seeks to present the crisis with “depth, nuance and responsibility” so audiences can better grasp its real-world impact.
As geopolitical tensions continue to dominate headlines, the conclave positions itself as an attempt to bring order to the noise, offering viewers a structured, insight-led look at a complex and rapidly shifting global situation.
