Mumbai: With another weekend upon us, it is time to unwind with the latest Q&A edition of Indiantelevision.com’s Weekend Unwind—a series of informal chats that peek into the minds of business executives through a fun lens in an attempt to get to know the person behind the title a little better.
In this week’s session, we have Rati Beauty co-founder Rati Tehri.
Without further ado, here it goes…
Your mantra for life
Live every moment with gratitude and love. That has been my mantra since day one.
A book you are currently reading or plan to read
I recently finished reading: As Long As the Lemon Trees Grow by Zoulfa Katouh . Made me grateful for zillion things in my life. Gem of book.
Your fitness mantra
One should be like ‘water’. Always on the move.
Your comfort food
A warm bowl of khichdi with a spoonful of ghee.
A quote or philosophy that keeps you going when the chips are down
When you feel like giving up, remember why you started. I love this one.
Your guilty pleasure
Binge-watching classic Bollywood movies with a small block of dark chocolate.
The last time you tried something new
I learnt sound healing and it has been a wonderfully meditative experience. It truely has changed my life. Now not only i do sound healing for myself but for others as well. I see how people feel better with every sound healing session. It’s very humbling.
A life lesson you learned the hard way
Well, I’ve learnt a lot of things in my journey. But that one lesson that is very close to my heart is — patience is not the ability to wait, but how you act while you’re waiting. Everything from our culture to the Shrimadbhagwatgita teaches the same.
What gets you excited about life?
The endless possibilities each new day brings, and our ability to breathe and feel alive. It’s magical. Isn’t it?
What’s on top of your bucket list?
I am obsessed with the Rishikesh for both scenic and spiritual reasons. It remains at the top of my bucket list.
If you could give one piece of advice to your younger self, what would it be?
Believe in yourself and trust the journey. It is all going to be worth it.
One thing you would most like to change about the world
Ensuring that everyone has access to clean water and nutritious food.
An activity that keeps you motivated and charged during tough times
I trust yoga and deep meditation. It keeps me motivated throughout the day.
What lifts your spirits when life gets you down?
Spending time in nature, especially in a garden or nursery. I am a ‘my people’ person as well, so I need my family close and in proximity. It is that instant dose of energy that you get when you have your people around.
Your go-to stress buster
Yoga remains my number one stress buster. I also like having herbal tea, post yoga.

Dream Sports to enter stock broking with launch of new platform Dream Street
Fantasy gaming giant pivots to wealth management to tackle recent market hurdles
MUMBAI: Dream Sports, the parent company of the prominent sports platform Dream11, is officially entering the stock broking industry. The Mumbai-based firm is launching a new platform called Dream Street, marking a significant diversification as it prepares to compete with established fintech players such as Groww and Zerodha.
The strategic move follows a challenging period for the group. Following a ban on real-money gaming in August 2025, the company has been under pressure to establish fresh revenue streams. Dream Sports began laying the groundwork for a financial services portfolio last year with the launch of Dream Money, and this latest venture signals a deeper commitment to the wealth management sector.
This expansion is part of a broader restructuring. Dream Sports co-founder Harsh Jain confirmed to Moneycontrol that the company has secured all necessary licences. The platform is currently undergoing internal testing, with a public launch expected to take place shortly.
The leadership team for Dream Street consists of experienced internal executives. Dream Sports chief product officer Rahul Mirchandani will lead the brokerage as ceo. He is joined by co-founders Karan Bansal and Nikhil Lalvani. Within the new structure, Dream Street chief business officer Karan Bansal will oversee operations, while Dream Street chief product officer Nikhil Lalvani will manage the technical development.
Financial reports indicate that this shift in strategy follows a period of contraction. For the 2025 financial year, Dream11 reported a 15 percent decline in revenue to Rs 6,759 crore. The company also moved from a profit of Rs 1,295 crore in 2024 to a loss of Rs 479 crore in 2025. While one-time tax expenses and director benefits contributed to the loss, the regulatory changes to its core gaming business have necessitated a search for more stable growth.
By leveraging its massive existing user base, Dream Street aims to convert sports fans into retail investors. The company is betting that its experience in high-traffic digital platforms will allow it to capture a significant share of the retail broking market as it builds out its broader financial services ecosystem.
