"Futuristic" Changing Room In Goa Store Leaves UK Couple Amazed: "Third World Who?"
"This is not in Dubai, this is not in London, this is not in New York. This is India. I'm sorry but India?! Third world who?! This is better than shopping in Wales!! Back where the salesman 'goes to the back' to check if they have your size... when clearly they leave the room, scroll on TikTok for a minute, then come back empty-handed. Gotta give it to India for the shopping experience," the caption of the post read.

The couple visited the Azorte store in South Goa. In the video, Liam picked up three clothing items and walked into the trial room. As soon as he entered, a screen behind him automatically displayed all three items along with their sizes.
"The mirror picks up the items and their sizes. And then, say you want another size, you can choose on the screen and they will bring it to you," Dani explained. She said that the screen also shows items that can be paired with the clothing and options to ask staff to bring them to the changing room to try out.
"How cool is that? How amazing is that? India is in the future, man," she said, praising the store.

What is TechWater, the campaign MrBeast asked Asmongold to support with $100K?
(Image via YouTube/MrBeast) Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast, the world's biggest philanthropist YouTuber, recently called on some fellow creators to support a cause. His latest initiative, Techwater, which has already been making waves, captured further attention as the streamer Asmongold found himself unexpectedly challenged for contributing six figures to it. The campaign, with its world-changing goals, as per reports, has united thousands of digital creators. With streamers like Asmongold being called upon to support this campaign, the one question that remains in the minds of many is, what exactly is TechWater? Here is all you need to know about it. What is MrBeast's TechWater campaign all about? MrBeasts TechWater is a monumental fundraising campaign that's been creator-led. MrBeast and Mark Rober, the engineer-YouTuber, are the co-founders of the campaign that aims to solve one of the most pressing issues of the world today—having clean drinking water. With $40 million fundraising goal by August 31, 2025, the team will offer clean and safe drinking water to 2 million people around the world, for two decades at least. With this campaign already being backed by a star-studded lineup of supporters, it is shaping up to be one of the largest creator-led charity efforts. 2,000,000 People Get Clean Water For The First Time! Alongside the duo, some other influential creators who are part of the campaign are Stokes Twins, Ben Azelart and others. This project builds upon MrBeast's success during his previous charity drives like #TeamTrees and #TeamSeas. These campaigns raised millions. Now, the team's focus is on solving the global water crisis, to ensure communities that are in need have sustainable and safe water source access. The call for support from Asmongold and many other creators highlights the high stakes of this campaign, while bringing forward its collaborative nature. Why TechWater has aimed for $40 million, and what's the long-term goal? The campaign is known to operate on tangible and powerful metrics, where every single donated dollar offers a person clean water for an entire year. Achieving a $40 million target would translate into securing decades of reliable clean water access for vulnerable communities. With the urgency being palpable, organizers are emphasizing a full-speed sprint to finish throughout the month. With 100s of creators joining in from 31 countries and 6 continents, the team has already brought in a joint effort. Beyond money, TechWater is all about long-term solutions. The campaign has partnered with some humanitarian organizations, primarily WaterAid, an organization with 40 years of experience in platinum-level transparency ratings and water projects. WaterAid partnership ensures funds will be used efficiently for sustainable infrastructure. As part of the project, as revealed by the launch video of MrBeast, the entire initiative includes drilling wells, apart from installing a multi-stage filtration system and water storage in Colombia, Ecuador, Malawi, Nepal, and Zambia. It will also address the water crisis in Jackson, West Virginia, Rhodell and more. The focus is on the solutions that remain tailored to the needs of the community, aiming for impact that can last decades. Why did MrBeast challenge Asmongold for donating $100k? MrBeast Lists Everyone who Donated 2.3 Million Dollars to Clean Water MrBeast's campaign took a dramatic turn during a live Discord call that involved many high-profile streamers. MrBeast there put Asmongold on the spot and urged him to contribute $100,000 to TechWater. Caught completely off guard, Asmongold, though initially hesitated, calling the amount 'too much,' but eventually agreed to a fundraiser stream with xQc (Félix Lengyel), where they will donate a portion of the earnings from the day. Adin Ross Suprise Streamers W/ Mrbeast! (XQC, Jynxzi, Faze Banks) Now this was not a random callout coming from MrBeast. He has long recruited top creators to amplify the reach of his varied campaigns. Leveraging streamers like Asmongold's influence, his goal seems clear—to maximize donations and raise more awareness. TechWater has a global army of influencers TechWater represents one of the largest collaborations in history. Its roster spans the entire digital frame's spectrum—household names including Gordon Ramsay, Michelle Khare, Kai Cenat, etc., to countless mid-tier and some emerging creators. MrBeast has to date actively recruited three thousand creators, who collectively represent a billion followers. The strategy here is a vast network promoting the TeamWater campaign, all throughout August, with the use of every format and platform available. The call for action, too, is clear, with creators urging them to use their platforms to create global impact, while audiences are requested to engage, share and amplify all of the related content, to create a self-sustaining awareness and donation wave.
