Founder and CEO of FutureMe, Supriya Mody: The Woman Reimagining Indulgent Skincare

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 27: In an industry long dominated by excess, exclusivity, and surface-level indulgence, Supriya Mody is quietly rewriting the codes of luxury. As the Founder and CEO of FutureMe, she has created a brand anchored not in vanity, but in vision – where high science meets deep care, and where skincare becomes a medium through which people can nurture their boldest dreams.

Raised in an Indian pharmaceutical dynasty and having previously led as the CEO of Unichem’s International Formulation Business, Supriya brings with her a rare combination of scientific depth and business clarity. FutureMe is, in many ways, a natural extension of that journey: a brand that rejects the industry’s obsession with “fixing flaws” and instead champions potential, possibility, and conscious luxury.

FutureMe, following its highly successful launch in South Africa last year, enters the Indian market with its collection, Arayani – an ultra-performing, luxuriously indulgent skincare line rooted in restoration, balance, and quiet luxury. “FutureMe is about potential – about giving wings to your dreams through skincare that truly works,” says Supriya. It is this philosophy that anchors the business, informs the product strategy, and shapes the brand she is building.

For Supriya, the turning point came early in the entrepreneurial journey: the decision to not take the industry’s easier route. While many brands were white-labelling products, she chose to build everything from scratch – formulations, packaging, even the smallest design elements.

Doing this during the pandemic made the process even more complex. She and her team collaborated remotely with scientists, artists, and manufacturers across the world. She travelled to Italy to identify the exact iridescent print for their jars and sourced the metallic plating for their spatulas from a single vendor in the world.

“Every time someone said ‘this can’t be done,’ it became fuel,” she recalls. That mindset – persistent, detail-driven, innovation-oriented – has become central to FutureMe’s business identity now.

One of the brand’s strongest differentiators is the FutureBlend, created with cosmetic chemist Dr. Renuka Thergaonkar. The proprietary complex fuses botanical extracts, vitamins, actives and FutureMe’s signature BeautyFrequency – a Sound Therapy technology used to enhance absorption at a cellular level.

The research spanned five years, often against industry voices who insisted botanicals could never feel truly “luxurious.” FutureMe didn’t compromise, and the payoff is clear: formulas that feel indulgent but function like clinical-grade treatments.

Supriya’s business philosophy is simple: do fewer things, but do them exceptionally well. For her, conscious skincare is as much a way of working as it is a way of formulating, rooted in intention, focus, and long-term value rather than trends. That clarity extends to design too. FutureMe’s visual world; its art wraps, typography, and colours; have been crafted to feel refined, warm, and distinct in a category where luxury often feels impersonal.

This ethos comes to life at The House of FutureMe, the company’s most immersive expression yet. Located in Breach Candy, Mumbai, it is the first of its kind: an exclusive, by-invite-only sanctuary that wholly embodies the brand, its values and its products. More than a flagship, it serves as a venue for intimate gatherings, collaborations, and conversations that celebrate individuality and the art of self-evolution.

FutureMe’s first collection, Arayani, serves as a deliberate and strategic entry into the Indian luxury skincare market. Named after a mythic goddess of nature, the line reflects a clear brand philosophy: high-performance formulations, elevated textures, and a distinctive visual identity designed to stand apart in a saturated category. Early user feedback – firmer, brighter, more resilient skin – reinforces the brand’s positioning as a results-driven luxury player.

For Supriya, who has built FutureMe with a long-term growth vision, Arayani is not just a launch, it’s the foundation for scalable expansion. With the Arayani Collection setting the benchmark, FutureMe enters India with a blueprint for strong brand equity, consumer trust, and sustained business momentum.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 27: greytHR, a leading HRMS platform serving over 30,000 organisations across 25 countries and managing 3.2 million employees, has collaborated with Chai Point to launch a distinctive, culture-first brand engagement campaign that blends everyday workplace realities with thoughtful storytelling.

The collaboration brings together greytHR’s vision for stress-free HR operations and Chai Point’s iconic role in powering India’s daily chai ritual. The campaign celebrates the universal chai break where conversations spark, teams reset, and workdays feel lighter, while paralleling greytHR’s mission of helping organisations reduce HR friction and focus on productivity.

A New Direction in Brand Storytelling

Archana Chopda, VP of Marketing at greytHR, shared that the collaboration represents a refreshing new direction in brand storytelling. “This initiative is not just about co-branding; it’s about bringing two people-first brands together to create authentic, memorable interactions. Workplace culture is shaped in small moments, chai breaks, shared humour, light conversations and this campaign captures exactly that. It reflects our belief that HR tech should feel human, warm, and rooted in everyday experiences. When you combine the comfort of chai with the simplicity of greytHR, you highlight what truly fuels workplaces – people, conversations, and the moments that connect us.”

Witty Chai Cups as Culture Statements

At the heart of the campaign are three co-branded chai cups printed with playful, relatable messages designed to spark instant conversations:

• “Hotter than my appraisal”
• “Burnout? The cup understands”
• “Out of salary, full of chai”

People instantly connected with these messages, seeing their own workday moods reflected in every line. Introduced across select Chai Point outlets in Bengaluru, the cups blended humour and honesty in a way that felt authentic and irresistibly shareable. This relatability drove people to pose with the cups, click photos at their desks, and share them widely across social media, turning the designs into a fun, honest expression of everyday workplace life.

A curated influencer outreach program amplified the initiative, with hamper kits crafted to evoke nostalgia, comfort, and workplace camaraderie.

Industry Leaders Join the Conversation

The campaign resonated strongly with HR leaders and workplace influencers across India, who appreciated its culture-first storytelling approach. Among those who engaged, reacted, and shared their reflections were:

• Soumitra Das, Global CHRO
• Aparna Srikanth, CHRO
• Aritra Sarkar, HR Director
• Jyoti Menzes, Leadership Coach
• Suchandra Dutta, Director – HR
• CA Amaranath AS
• Ullas Chandra Naik K J, General Manager – TA
• Fasiha Sheerin Sayad, Senior Director – Global Head of People Excellence
• Kalappa KB, Chief People Officer
• Vikas Maheshwary, Associate Vice President – HR
• Rosina Jose, Director – People Business Partner
• Satadru Chakraborty, Senior Director, APAC HR Business Partner
• Karthik Mulakaluri, Senior Director – Talent Development

Their participation helped expand the campaign’s reach and reinforced the idea that workplace culture is shaped not in meetings or metrics, but in small, meaningful everyday moments.

Kalappa KB, Chief People Officer, Chai Point, shares, “We’re excited to shape people-first experiences that create real value for our communities and everyone we serve. With greytHR, this collaboration becomes a catalyst for richer touchpoints, stronger stories, and meaningful visibility for the work that truly matters. As we look outward to elevate experiences, we’re equally grounded inward; aligned by shared values, energised by fresh ideas, and committed to thoughtful, future-ready innovation. Here’s to a partnership that feels authentic in intent, purposeful in action, and inspiring in the way it brings our teams and vision together.”

With relatable storytelling, witty cup messages, user-generated content, and organic endorsements from industry leaders, the campaign built strong organic momentum, reaching 1.05 lakh users and generating over 1.6 lakh impressions.

The momentum reinforced one truth: conversations about workplace culture take off when brands tap into moments people genuinely relate to.

A Campaign Rooted in Everyday India

The greytHR × Chai Point initiative marks a refreshing shift in HR tech communication—moving away from traditional product-led narratives toward culture, emotion, and lived work experiences. By grounding the campaign in a ritual as universal as chai, the two brands have created a relatable storytelling platform that strengthens affinity, sparks conversations, and celebrates what truly keeps workplaces running:
connection, care, and shared everyday moments.

New Delhi [India], November 18: As the fintech world gathered for the Global Fintech Fest (GFF) 2025, the discussions weren’t just about innovation, they were about responsibility, resilience, and redefining access to credit. This year’s theme, centered around building sustainable and inclusive financial ecosystems, resonated deeply with Sayyam Investments, an RBI-registered NBFC, and its flagship digital lending platform, PayRupik. Together, they are demonstrating how technology and trust can coexist to empower millions of customers across India.

A Future Rooted in Trust and Technology

At a time when fintech narratives are often dominated by rapid growth, Sayyam Investments stands out for its commitment to building a compliant, transparent, and customer-first lending framework. Participating at GFF 2025 reinforced Sayyam’s belief that the future of finance lies not in aggressive disruption but in responsible innovation, one that respects regulatory boundaries while delivering convenience to consumers.

Through PayRupik, Sayyam has been expanding access to short-term credit and digital financial services across India, helping users meet everyday needs, from instant personal loans to utility bill payments and FASTag recharges. The company’s presence at GFF showcased its belief that inclusion is not achieved by technology alone, but by ensuring that every product is reliable, transparent, and easily accessible..

Driving Inclusion Beyond Digital Boundaries

While India’s fintech ecosystem thrives online, Sayyam’s efforts extend well beyond digital channels. The company’s offline expansion strategy reflects its understanding of India’s diverse consumer base. Through its branch network and regional teams, Sayyam ensures that individuals in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities receive the same level of service and access as urban customers.

A shining example of this inclusive vision is MediClaim Loans, a specialized healthcare financing solution extended by Sayyam in partnership with MedsCred. Available in 12+ states and 200+ partner hospitals across key healthcare hubs in India, Sayyam directly disburses funds to healthcare institutions and offers flexible repayment options to patients, ensuring that financial limitations never come in the way of essential medical care. This model has been operational since September 2024 and continues to grow through hospital partnerships and trusted repayment frameworks.

Building Confidence Through Compliant Growth

Sayyam’s growth story is not just about scaling volumes; it’s about scaling trust. The company has embedded robust governance, audit, and compliance protocols into every product it launches. As a regulated NBFC, Sayyam adheres to the highest standards of financial transparency and risk management—ensuring that every innovation aligns with RBI guidelines.

At GFF, industry leaders emphasized the need for partnerships between regulated entities and agile fintechs. Sayyam’s approach already embodies this philosophy, creating meaningful collaborations with technology platforms while retaining full compliance and customer data integrity. The result is a business model that’s sustainable, scalable, and fully aligned with India’s evolving fintech landscape.

Innovation That Connects People

PayRupik, Sayyam’s digital arm, is evolving into a multi-service platform designed for convenience and empowerment. Beyond its core lending solutions, the app now enables users to manage daily financial tasks such as mobile postpaid payments, electricity bill payments, and FASTag top-ups, a testament to Sayyam’s vision of integrating financial wellness into everyday life.

The platform continues to leverage technology responsibly, combining AI-based underwriting, secure transaction layers, and data privacy safeguards to ensure a seamless yet safe user experience. It’s not just about being fast; it’s about being fair, accessible, and dependable.

The Road Ahead

As the conversations at GFF 2025 highlighted, the future of fintech belongs to those who can balance speed with stability. Sayyam Investments is already on that path, combining the credibility of a regulated NBFC with the agility of a tech-driven platform. With upcoming products in the consumer healthcare and lifestyle lending segments, Sayyam aims to strengthen its position as a responsible financial partner for individuals and institutions alike.

For Sayyam, growth has never been just a metric; it’s a measure of trust earned and impact created. And with platforms like PayRupik and MedsCred leading the way, the company continues to prove that financial inclusion and regulatory integrity can go hand in hand, shaping not just the future of fintech, but the future of responsible finance in India.
