At the center of this slow, meaningful growth is Sukritya Khatiwada, the brand's young CEO. With a deep background in Vedic studies and a sharp understanding of the modern world, he has been instrumental in bringing Nepa into the digital age without losing its soul. His book, Transform Your Life with Rudraksha, offers both ancient insight and accessible guidance for the contemporary seeker.
Nepa Rudraksha, the heritage spiritual brand renowned for its authentic Rudraksha beads, proudly announces the appointment of internationally acclaimed actor Ajay Devgn as its global brand ambassador. This collaboration marks a significant milestone, blending the brand's deep-rooted spiritual heritage with a modern global vision.
At a time when spirituality often feels packaged and performative, a quiet collaboration is reminding people what it truly means to connect with something sacred. Nepa Rudraksha, a name trusted by spiritual seekers since 1973, has partnered with actor Ajay Devgn in a way that feels less like a campaign and more like a return to what matters.
The pairing is thoughtful. Ajay Devgn is not just a public figure but a devoted follower of Lord Shiva. His presence doesn't feel borrowed for credibility — it feels aligned. In a series of temple-inspired visuals and meditative sequences, the actor becomes more of a vessel than a brand ambassador. This isn't about him. It's about the energy he channels.

Nepa was founded by Mr. Balaram Khatiwada, a revered priest at Pashupatinath, whose deep-rooted commitment to authenticity and Vedic tradition laid the foundation for the brand. This legacy was carried forward by Mr. Mukunda Khatiwada, the current Chairman, who ushered Nepa into the digital age, expanding its reach while staying true to its sacred origins.
For Nepa Rudraksha, this moment has been a long time coming. Built over three generations, the brand has always taken the long road. It sources its beads from Nepal's sacred Arun Valley, tests each one with X-ray certification, and stands by a lifetime authenticity guarantee. The goal has never been speed. It has always been sincerity.
"This is not about selling beads," Sukritya says. "It's about helping people reconnect with something they already carry within."
The collaboration with Ajay is part of that wider effort. The film they've created together doesn't push a product. It draws the viewer into a quiet space — one shaped by sacred geometry, sound, and a feeling of timeless presence. The soundtrack, tuned to the Om frequency, and the architecture of the sets give the entire experience a sense of depth that's hard to fake.
While the story is grounded in faith, the products at its center are designed for the modern world. The Siddha Mala, for example, features 108 certified beads and is hand-knotted using traditional techniques. The Rudra bracelet offers a daily wearable option, combining 5-mukhi Rudraksha with an ergonomic design. And the Dhanveer bracelet, made with rare 14-mukhi beads, is sought after by those in leadership roles seeking clarity and focus.
Yet Nepa isn't placing its future only in objects. The brand is also investing in digital experiences, from an AI-powered consultation platform to a members-only Sadhana app. Its global expansion is not just about reach, but about bringing meaningful practices to people in their own languages and contexts.
What makes this all feel different is the absence of pressure. There is no sense of urgency or exclusivity in how Nepa speaks. Instead, it extends an invitation — to reflect, to return, and to rediscover.
As spiritual wellness continues to evolve, many brands will chase trends. Nepa Rudraksha, it seems, is choosing trust. The kind that takes years to earn. The kind that makes people pause, feel, and ask deeper questions.
With Ajay Devgn as a quiet guide, and a story that honors both tradition and transformation, Nepa's message is simple but powerful: this isn't about creating belief. It's about awakening what's already there.

Trump confirms possible China trip, but insists ‘not seeking' Xi summit

President Trump has revealed that he may jet over to China in the near future, but rebuffed suggestions that he is seeking a summit with Beijing counterpart Xi Jinping amid intense trade negotiations between the two economic superpowers. 'The Fake News is reporting that I am SEEKING a 'Summit' with President Xi of China. This is not correct, I am not SEEKING anything!' Trump wrote on Truth Social late Monday from Scotland, where he wrapped up a five-day visit Tuesday. 'I may go to China, but it would only be at the invitation of President Xi, which has been extended. Otherwise, no interest! Thank you for your attention to this matter.' Staffers for Trump and Xi have held discussions about setting up a meeting between the two leaders, potentially on the sidelines of the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting in South Korea, which takes place Oct. 30-Nov. 1, Reuters reported last week. It is unclear whether any discussions of Trump traveling to China directly have been broached. 3 President Trump confirmed ongoing talks with China about him meeting with leader Xi Jinping. Xinhua News Agency via Getty Images 3 President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping's last in-person meeting took place in 2019. XinhuaTrump and Xi last met face-to-face in June 2019 on the sidelines of the G-20 summit in Osaka, Japan. The US and China have until Aug. 12 to reach a full-fledged trade agreement following a months-long truce that has seen duties temporarily come down from up to 145% on Chinese exports to the US and 125% on American goods. Negotiators from Washington and Beijing are holding a third round of talks this week in Stockholm. 'We have a good relationship with China,' Trump told reporters Monday at his Turnberry club on the west coast of Scotland. 'China's tough.' In 2024, China was the third-largest US trading partner among individual nations — behind only Mexico and Canada — with trade between the two nations amounting to $582.4 billion. Further complicating negotiations is Trump's looming threat to impose secondary tariffs of 100% against countries that trade with Moscow until the Kremlin ends its invasion of Ukraine and agrees a peace deal. China and India, in particular, have continued to purchase energy from Russia throughout the 41-month-old war on Ukraine. China has also been accused of providing Moscow's arms industry with critical supplies. 3 The Trump administration is currently involved in trade negotiations with China. Getty Images Beyond trade tensions, US officials have repeatedly warned about Chinese cyber attacks, such as the Salt Typhoon operation that breached American telecommunications systems. On Monday, the Financial Times reported that the Trump administration blocked Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te from stopping in New York City during a planned diplomatic visit to Central America later this year. China has long claimed sovereignty over the island state of Taiwan, which has its own currency, military and government. The US adheres to the One China Policy on paper, which acknowledges Beijing's claim, but takes no position on it.

This change is due to: A currency effect of -0.4 %; A volume effect of -3.0%, due mainly to a fall in volumes of modular structures, for which the end markets are declining; A favorable price-mix effect of +16.0%, driven by a confirmed recovery in activities that have traditionally been profitable for the Group, such as Solar Protection and the new Solutions business lines, as well as the impact of price increases introduced to mitigate the negative effect of high inflation on certain raw materials.

Growth accelerated sharply between the 1st and 2nd quarters, taking half-year sales up to €23.4 million, representing growth at constant scope and exchanges rates of +49%. Sales in the Asia-Africa-Pacific region were up 5.4% on H1 2024, both on a current and constant scope and exchange rates basis, due to good momentum in the various markets. Outlook Based on a seasonal history between the first (driven by solar protection activity and tense architecture) and the second half of the fiscal year, the group will focus (despite an uncertain context, particularly on the geopolitical level) on maintaining its trajectory initiated with Transform 2025 that aims at increasing its adaptability and profitability.

GCCs drive finance and accountancy jobs in India: ACCA

A new report from the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) highlights how India's global capability centres (GCCs) are boosting economic growth by driving services exports and creating finance and accountancy jobs. GCCs in India are transforming from back-office support hubs to global value creators, leading innovation and technological advancements for international corporations, the association said. These centres are expected to contribute 2% of India's GDP and generate 2.8 million jobs by 2030. In FY24, GCCs generated approximately $64.6bn in export revenue, a 40% increase from $46bn in FY23. By 2030, 20,000 global leadership roles are projected to be based in India. The growth is supported by a skilled workforce, expansion into tier-II cities, favourable government policies, and improving infrastructure. As GCCs mature, finance roles are evolving beyond traditional boundaries to focus on process improvement and cost transformation initiatives. Opportunities are expanding in business partnering, procurement, reporting, planning, and analysis. Entry-level roles now focus on data analytics, FP&A, and compliance management, while mid-level roles drive process improvements and transformation. ACCA said that finance professionals need to develop higher skills and capabilities, including an understanding of finance functions, comfort with data and digital tools, and the ability to collaborate with global teams. Successful collaboration among state and non-state actors is crucial to managing risks and maximising momentum, it added. India requires a comprehensive GCC strategy supported by policymakers to promote innovation, create skilling initiatives, and streamline regulations. ACCA policy and insights lead for India and report author Pooja Chaudhary said: 'The report highlights the factors driving GCC success in India and what's needed to sustain it. Strong leadership, cross-cultural talent, and collaboration between global and local teams are key to running a successful GCC. 'As GCCs take on more strategic roles, they must work with policymakers to streamline regulation and partner with academia to bridge skill gaps while continuing to create value through innovation and alignment with the parent organisation.' Earlier in July 2025, ACCA published a report on AI implications for the accountancy sector, highlighting the need for finance teams to adapt to new roles and responsibilities. The AI Monitor report suggests that AI will transform the accountancy profession by changing task execution at all levels. It emphasises the need for human oversight, focusing on "human interaction, transparency, and oversight" to ensure AI systems adhere to professional standards and regulations "GCCs drive finance and accountancy jobs in India: ACCA" was originally created and published by The Accountant, a GlobalData owned brand.
