Pitch perfect
Despite belting out her cheers for Team India the night before, Raveena Tandon was back on cue at a Bandra recording studio on February 16. Clearly, the show — and the vocal cords — must go on.
(Wo)manifesto
The juiciest gossip is always traded in hushed tones — ironically, the same quiet whispers reserved for subjects like puberty, periods, pregnancy, and perimenopause. Enter society darling Mallika Timblo, who is turning that whisper into a rallying cry. Through her wellness startup, Terrapy, she is bringing candour, clarity, and much-needed volume to conversations women have long been told to keep quiet. As those who know her will tell you, entrepreneurship runs in her blood. Dad Dilip Kulkarni was the trailblazer behind Skypak Couriers (remember those incredible Skypak Man ads?), and Mallika certainly seems to have inherited his chutzpah. That said, her startup wasn’t born from the urge to build a business — it emerged from a deeply personal reckoning with her own health. “I began experiencing perimenopause symptoms at 36 and felt confused and isolated about what was happening to my body,” Mallika tells us. Out of that turbulence came a clear conviction: women’s wellbeing must be sustainable and science-led — not trend-driven, and never treated as taboo. While the brand offers products that address concerns including fertility issues, period cramps, and sleep disturbances, the greater goal isn’t to push a packet — it’s to shine a spotlight on these subjects, so that no woman struggles alone. And in amplifying what was once whispered, Timblo isn’t just building a brand, she’s helping rewrite the conversation altogether.
