Unboxing Artist 2.0 by Numero Uno
After the successful launch of their campaign ‘Unboxing artists’, Numero Uno takes ahead the opportunity and unboxes another set of new artists in their ongoing campaign ‘Unboxing artist 2.0’.
Been one of the oldest Jeanswear brands, Numero Uno speak the ‘I’ in every Denim wearer. They call on the rebel spirit of today’s generation and treasures their quirks and divergent attributes that screams ‘DenIM’ (read then I am) in them.
Denim has always been associated with youth who believe in themselves and refuses to be labeled by the society, Numero Uno, the India’s first indigenously manufactured denim labels promotes such art who keeps the youth spirit alive with their eloquent music. They now bring 3 new artists who cultivate the new music with their poetic aesthetics.
Taba Chake, a fingerstyle guitarist who belongs from Arunachal is affluent in English, Hindi and Nyishi loves being called as complicated by his friends. This city musician says “if setting my own path makes me a lost cause, Den I’M.”
Another artist, who is unboxed by Numero Uno in their campaign, is Raghav Meattle who believes in creating his own content and not intrigued by fame or money says “if chasing after the truth makes me paranoid, DEN I’M.”
There comes another artist Aarifah Rebello, who calls herself as awkward, nervous and shy but builds some unconventional music via vocals, with her guitar and even with a set of drums says “if you still think being awkward makes me a misfit, DEN I’M.”
Asha Esther Jaikishan, Head of marketing, Numero Uno, says about the campaign “We received a lot of appreciation and love for our campaign ‘Unboxing artist’ and that’s when we decided to continue with ‘Unboxing artist 2.0’ and appreciate the talent of our country. We are on a lookout for more such underdog artists who don’t get the opportunity to portray their expertise; we will help them launch their skills and flair with this ongoing unboxing artist programme”
With this, Numero Uno is on a hunt for the new progressive talent in our country to showcase their dexterity in music and get a chance to be launched by Numero Uno. They are running an online contest for the budding singer/songwriter to upload an original song/composition on social media (Instagram/Facebook) and tag the brand. The winner will get a chance to be launched exclusively by the brand and record an original composition, a music video and an opportunity to perform an intimate live gig.
So all the budding artists, it’s time to gird your loins for this amazing opportunity and be launched by Numero Uno.

Oyo parent Prism appoints former Sebi chief Ajay Tyagi to Board
Former market regulator joins Prism to strengthen governance for IPO
NEW DELHI: Prism, the parent entity of Oyo, has appointed former Sebi chairman Ajay Tyagi as an independent director, as the hospitality firm gears up for its planned Rs 6,650 crore initial public offering (IPO).
Tyagi, a 1984-batch IAS officer, served as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) from 2017 to 2022. His appointment is aimed at strengthening the company’s governance framework and providing strategic oversight as it moves closer to a public listing.
He joins a high-profile board that already includes several prominent names from global business and policy circles. These include Troy Matthew Alstead, former CFO and group president of Starbucks; Aditya Ghosh, co-founder of Akasa Air; Deepa Malik, paralympic athlete and Padma Shri awardee; William Steve Albrecht, professor of accountancy at Utah State University; and Bejul Somaia, partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners.
Prism founder Ritesh Agarwal, said Tyagi’s experience in capital markets regulation and public-institution stewardship will be critical as the company scales operations and enhances long-term accountability.
The company recently filed preliminary papers with Sebi to raise Rs 6,650 crore through a confidential route. Market sources estimate its valuation will be in the range of $7 billion to $8 billion.
Over the course of his career, Tyagi has held senior roles in the ministry of finance, where he oversaw investment policy and financial-sector reforms. His induction to the Prism board signals a renewed focus on aligning the company’s internal standards with the stringent requirements of public markets as it advances toward its IPO.
