Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], June 27: Flashoot, the Hyderabad-based content tech startup known for delivering professionally shot and edited videos in under 10 minutes, has officially announced its expansion into Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune and Delhi NCR. This marks a significant milestone in the company's mission to make high-quality short-form video content accessible, fast and affordable across India. Founded by Voleti Karthik, Flashoot operates under Konchamkode Private Limited and offers a mobile-first platform that connects trained iPhone reelmakers known as Flashooters with creators, brands and individuals who need real-time, professional content. All shoots are conducted using iPhone 13 Pro or newer devices and each video is shot, edited and delivered in just 10 minutes, making Flashoot a game changer for India's growing creator economy. Speaking about the expansion, Voleti Karthik, Founder and CEO of Flashoot, said, 'Flashoot started as a personal frustration when I struggled to get quality content for my family business. Great content was either too expensive, delayed or difficult to coordinate. We built Flashoot to solve that so that creators, startups and even local businesses can get professional content instantly. Today, we are proud to say we are building the world's fastest and most trusted content creation network powered entirely by smartphones and youth. This expansion is a massive step forward in that journey.' After gaining significant traction in Hyderabad, Flashoot has gone live in Mumbai's content hubs like Bandra, Andheri and South Bombay, and in Bangalore's creative neighborhoods including Koramangala, Indiranagar and HSR Layout. The company has also announced upcoming rollouts in Pune, Chennai, Jaipur and Kolkata, with active partner onboarding already underway. Shreyak Singh, Co-Founder and CTO of Flashoot, added, 'We have seen an incredible response in Hyderabad. Expanding to Mumbai and Bangalore was a natural next step. These are cities where creators are constantly on the move and demand for fast, high-quality content is growing every day. Our model allows creators to earn on the go while ensuring clients get polished, trend-ready content without waiting for days or paying agency-level prices.' As part of its national rollout strategy, Flashoot has started onboarding local videographers, students and mobile creators in each new city. The company is also forming partnerships with cafes, D2C brands, event managers and creative agencies to integrate Flashoot into launch events, influencer campaigns and brand activations. Flashoot's services start at ₹1,999 per hourly shoot, with premium options available under its new verticals such as Flashoot Luxe and Flashoot Drones. Additionally, it is piloting its Tier 2 and 3 town model, where in-house salaried creators will service bookings via WhatsApp and calls, bypassing the app-based workflow to enable smoother access in emerging markets.

UP Teen Killed By 4 Friends In IPhone Theft Plot For Making Insta Reels, 2 Juveniles Held
Last Updated: A 19-year-old, Shadab Ansari, was killed in Bahraich, Uttar Pradesh, by four friends wanting to steal his iPhone for social media. Two juveniles were detained; two adults fled. In a shocking incident, a 19-year-old man was killed in Uttar Pradesh's Bahraich last week by four of his friends who wanted to steal the victim's iPhone to create social media content and earn money through views. The police have detained two juvenile accused while a search was launched for the other two accused — both adults — on the run. The deceased, identified as Shadab Ansari, had returned from Bengaluru to attend his maternal uncle's wedding in Bahraich's Nagraur village. He went missing soon after the post-wedding feast on June 20. Two days later, his decomposed body was discovered in an abandoned structure in an orchard, about 500m from the village. The investigation revealed that four of his friends had plotted to kill Shadab to steal his iPhone. On the day of the crime, they lured Shadab to a secluded spot on the pretext of shooting videos. There, they slit hi throat and assaulted him with bricks before escaping with his cellphone. SP (City) Ramnand Kaswa said that the police detained two juvenile accused, who not only confessed to the crime but also unapologetically admitted to the greed that drove them to commit the same. 'We are searching for the remaining two accused, Zulfiqar and Abed Ahmed alias Raju Netaji," he added. First Published: June 28, 2025, 07:35 IST

How Steve Jobs would have reacted to Apple's WWDC liquid glass redesign
There are two Steve Jobs keynotes that stand out in my memory more than any other. The first, of course, is the moment he introduced the iPhone in 2007. The entire keynote was a master class in storytelling, engineering, and showmanship. But my favourite part was when Jobs, in the middle of a live demo, prank called a Starbucks and calmly said he wanted to order 4,000 lattes to go. Then he quickly added, 'Just kidding,' and hung up the call. It was a small thing, but it was unforgettable. It was unexpected. It was … fun. But there's another moment that sticks with me. It's less iconic, but only because on the scale of the iPhone, everything is less iconic. It was, however, just as telling about how Jobs thinks about products and how to talk about them. It was 2000, when Jobs introduced Mac OS X's Aqua interface. The new design was fluid, full of gradients and transparency. It was colorful and reflective – almost glossy. It looked unlike anything else at the time. And when Jobs talked about it, he said something that defined Apple's relationship with design for the next two decades: 'One of the design goals was that when you saw it, you wanted to lick it.' Then he paused and licked his lips. I often think about the fact that the goal of designing a piece of software that millions of people would use was as much about how it made people feel as it was about being useful. Obviously, it had to be useful, but it also had to be fun. It had to be delightful. This brings me to this year's WWDC. Apple announced a major redesign of all its software platforms with what it's calling 'Liquid Glass.' According to Alan Dye, Apple's VP of human interface design, the goal was to give the system 'depth, vibrancy, and a new level of expression.' It's a very different look, especially on the iPhone – but there are real changes on the Mac as well. But the thing I keep thinking about is: Where's the fun? The keynote was impressive. It was polished. It was efficient. But it didn't quite feel joyful. It didn't feel like Apple was showing off something it loved. It felt like Apple was explaining something it had to get right. Dye used a lot of words to explain how the company studied the properties of glass and how it reflects and refracts light. The thing is, I think it would have been fine if he'd just said Apple thinks it's really cool. I've heard and read critics saying that Jobs would roll over in his grave if he saw the new interface design. That's the kind of thing that's easy to say for views, but I don't think it's true at all. First, the new design is still an early beta. Yes, there are things that don't work from a design perspective – but it's far too early to pass judgment. I have confidence that Apple will fix them as it gets closer to September when it ships them to the public. My point isn't that Jobs wouldn't have liked what Apple is doing with Liquid Design. My point is that he would have had a lot more fun with it than the company seems to be having. Perhaps it's harder now than in 2000. Perhaps that's because Apple is under intense pressure, now more than ever. It's been a year since Apple teased the arrival of a smarter Siri and its broader vision for AI, now branded 'Apple Intelligence.' Expectations are high, especially as it seems the competition is delivering on Apple's promises with more speed and consistency than Apple itself. But the Liquid Glass redesign – what should have been the most obviously delightful part – felt strangely sterile. During the Aqua introduction, Jobs said that 'when you design a new user interface, you have to start off humbly. You have to start off saying, 'What are the simplest elements in it? What does a button look like?' And you spend months working on a button.' The implication was that even something as small as a button can carry emotion, weight, and personality. I miss the company that wasn't afraid to get weird. To call a design 'lickable.' To order 4,000 lattes from the stage. I'm not saying Apple needs to recreate Steve Jobs's persona. That would be impossible – and probably a bad idea. But I do think it needs to rediscover a little of that energy. That sense of play. That design isn't just functional, or even beautiful. It's emotional. It's fun. A user interface doesn't have to be revolutionary to be memorable. It just has to make you feel something. Better yet if that feeling is: 'I kinda want to lick this.' – Inc./Tribune News Service
