Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], June 6: A green chat bubble lights up on WhatsApp: “Need Bali eSIM and scooter for a week?” Ninety seconds later, three prepaid e-SIM links, two scooter rental offers–with helmet photos included–and a one-tap payment button appear in the same thread. An Indian filmmaker, fresh off the red-eye from Mumbai, swaps digital SIMs before baggage claim, collects a mint-green Honda Scoopy at the arrivals gate, and rides straight to Canggu’s surf break. “All sorted before I found my passport stamp,” she texts back.

Such seamless experiences have become routine with Bino, the WhatsApp-based search platform designed to find anything, anywhere. Users simply message their needs in plain text, incomplete phrases, or even voice notes, and Bino swiftly searches across extensive networks of verified partner businesses to present the best available options. These options can be sourced either from structured catalogs offering standardized services or dynamically from real-time offers and bids directly from local businesses. Additionally, users can engage in live, real-time conversations with trusted, verified businesses, ensuring personalized attention and immediate clarity on their choices. Bino seamlessly manages both static bookings and on-the-spot negotiations, making every interaction effortless and valuable.

With its new travel vertical, Bino Travel, the platform now connects users with more than 100,000 vendors across India’s most popular tourist destinations and international hotspots. Whether it’s scooter rentals in Bali, jeep rides in Gulmarg, craft-beer tours in Prague, or cozy homestays along the Konkan coast, Bino’s vendor network covers every traveler’s need.

Founded by Capt. Karan Javaji, a Cornell University graduate who returned to India to serve in public policy as an officer at the Reserve Bank of India, Bino reflects his vision for streamlined operations through advanced technology. Javaji, who continues to serve as a part-time Territorial Army officer, emphasizes Bino’s commitment to supporting local businesses in a AI-driven era: “Discovery is turning pay-to-play, and small vendors can’t out-advertise bigger brands.” Bino not only helps these businesses get discovered but also provides them access to cutting-edge, AI-native technology through its Boni One Platform suite of tools. This includes Bow Chat, a conversation management platform designed specifically to empower small businesses by enhancing customer interactions, driving efficiency, and simplifying AI integration. Bino’s onboarding for businesses remains as straightforward as exchanging contact details on WhatsApp, and vendors pay nothing until a transaction is complete.

Bino Bing–Bino Travel’s trip-aware intelligence layer–continuously reads the context of each itinerary and pushes tailored suggestions, insider tips, and time-sensitive deals the moment they become relevant. With every leg of the journey stored in a single WhatsApp thread, Bino Bing turns scattered bookings and ad-hoc needs into a coherent, real-time feed, making sure travellers see only the most timely and useful information–exactly when they need it.

Most online travel agencies (OTAs) were architected for before you leave–price comparisons, package bundles and refundable tickets planned weeks in advance. Once the plane touches down, their utility drops sharply; travellers either fend for themselves or pay a premium for all-inclusive packages that hedge against uncertainty. Bino extends the value curve into the during-trip phase. Because every interaction lives inside a single WhatsApp thread, the platform functions as a real-time concierge: reading location pings, understanding half-typed questions (“late dinner still open?”), surfacing live inventory and even re-engaging with context-aware prompts through Bino Bing. By stitching pre-trip planning and on-trip problem-solving into one conversation, Bino removes the anxiety that drives travellers toward inflexible packages in the first place.

Users experience the simplicity of communicating through WhatsApp without needing additional apps, enjoying structured bookings alongside spontaneous, real-world assistance.

The last-minute hotels feature is a good example of how dynamic searches work in Bino. Picture landing in an unfamiliar city at 8:00 p.m. with no booking in hand. A single WhatsApp message–“budget hotel near airport, late check-in”–triggers Bino’s dynamic search: property managers receive the ping, post instant offers and, within 90 seconds, the traveller sees room rates discounted by up to 70 percent compared with morning prices. The same exchange clears unsold inventory for hoteliers who might otherwise close the night with vacant rooms. By marrying last-minute demand to time-sensitive supply, Bino turns what was once a lost margin for businesses into an unexpected bargain for users.

Looking ahead, the Bino team prioritizes enhancing its partner network and refining the user experience through innovative product features. Immediate efforts include expanding and strengthening partnerships to offer even richer, more diverse options for users. A key product initiative is the Deal Finder feature, enabling users to simply share their location on WhatsApp and instantly receive personalized, real-time deals from trusted local businesses around them.

About Bino

Bino is a WhatsApp-based search platform using AI to help users find the best products, services and deals from networks of businesses-both through structured catalogs and real-time responses. Headquartered in Bengaluru, Bino simplifies discovery, booking, and problem-solving, turning complex, unstructured requests into rapid, reliable responses.

To use Bino’s service, users simply send a WhatsApp message to +91-9800081110 (easy to remember as 98000-BINO) describing their needs, whether travel-related or everyday requirements. Businesses interested in joining the Bino partner network, can WhatsApp on +91-8024490265. For more information, visit https://bino.bot.

In a saturated personal care market often dominated by products catering to either toddlers or adults, two women entrepreneurs–Sonam Daruka and Shweta Sinha–are rewriting the narrative with TIVA, India’s first skincare brand created exclusively for girls aged 8 to 12.

Co-founded by Sonam Daruka, a serial entrepreneur and mother of a 7-year-old, and Shweta Sinha, an analytics leader and mother to an 8-year-old, TIVA is more than just a business venture. It is a purpose-led brand born out of a personal insight and a deep understanding of an underserved yet critical age group–pre-teen girls.

“We grew up in a time when skincare meant sharing the same soap with everyone in the family. But today’s girls are evolving faster–they’re curious, expressive, and ready for self-care. Yet, the market has very little that speaks directly to them,” says Sonam.

The Genesis of TIVA

The inspiration for TIVA came from their shared experiences as mothers and professionals. While navigating the parenting journey, Sonam and Shweta noticed a recurring gap: a lack of safe, age-appropriate personal care products tailored for young girls transitioning from childhood to adolescence. Existing brands were either too babyish or too mature, leaving tweens overlooked in a booming Rs8000+ crore personal care market.

TIVA as a Brand with a Mission

Launched with a vision to empower young girls through self-care, TIVA is designed to be gentle, fun, and empowering. The brand focuses on dermatologist-tested, chemical-free formulations made specifically for tween skin, combining natural ingredients with vibrant packaging and affirming messages.

For girls, TIVA offers ownership and identity in their self-care routines–products that feel made just for them. For parents, especially mothers, it offers trust and safety–products they can confidently introduce to their daughters.

Creating a Community, Not Just a Product Line

What distinguishes TIVA is not just the innovation in its products but the community it is building. With initiatives like TIVA TV, the brand offers a digital platform for girls to explore self-expression and creativity. This thoughtful approach is resonating with a growing tribe of modern Indian parents who are mindful of not just what their children use, but why.

“TIVA is a celebration of every girl’s journey–her confidence, her curiosity, and her dreams,” adds Shweta.

Market Opportunity & Brand Differentiation

As India’s Gen Alpha cohort continues to expand, so does the demand for products tailored to their unique lifestyles. TIVA is strategically positioned at the intersection of wellness, identity, and social good. Its first-mover advantage in the tween personal care category gives it a competitive edge in a market ripe for disruption.

Availability & Outreach

TIVA products are currently available via Amazon India, the brand’s official website, and its fast-growing Instagram community. The brand is also actively engaging customers through storytelling and influencer collaborations.

Quote by Andre Timmins, Co-Founder, and IIFA, “For 25 years, IIFA has been more than just a celebration of Indian cinema — it has been a global movement advocating for meaningful change. Our Green Carpet has always stood as a powerful symbol of our commitment to sustainability, leveraging the influence of cinema to drive conversations around environmental consciousness.

This year, as we celebrate a historic milestone in Jaipur, Rajasthan, we are proud to partner with VIRGIO, the fastest-growing sustainable fashion brand, as our Sustainable Fashion Partner. Together, we are redefining fashion and glamour with purpose, proving that sustainability is not just a choice–it is the future.”

With VIRGIO as our Sustainable Fashion Partner, we strengthen our mission to inspire change, ensuring that our platform continues to influence, educate, and shape a greener tomorrow for generations to come.”

VIRGIO continues to drive the dialogue around sustainability, ensuring that conscious fashion is more than a trend, it’s a movement. This collaboration with IIFA marks a pivotal step in making responsible fashion an integral part of entertainment, inspiring a new era of glamour rooted in purpose.
