Introduction
Goa, the tiniest state on the western coast of India, boasts golden pristine beaches, palmfringed avenues, flavourful food, delicious Portuguese-influenced sweets, and warm, hospitable people. Also known as the Ibiza of India for its partying. A tropical paradise of flora and fauna, from the very famous 'almi' (mushrooms) endemic to its forests, that grow only on the red mud anthills, to the solar prawns that are fished immediately after the monsoons, Goa is unique. Tourists are also attracted to Goa for its cultural heritage - from the famous old Portuguese churches like Se Cathedral in Old Goa, the 16th Century Safa Masjid in Ponda and Shree Mangesha Temple in Mardol, the legendary Arvalem or Pandava Caves where the Pandavas of the Mahabharat fame lived, to its two unique festivalsCarnival and Shigmo. Goa plays host to many festivals - the International Film Festival of India that promotes cinema, the Serendipity Art Festival, Sunburn Music Festival, The Grape Escapade to name a few. To showcase this varied heritage of culture, art, tradition, food, and people, in 2015 ItsGoa was born. The main aim was to make it the premier portal for all things Goa. We were able to showcase Goa like never before. Soon our blog-based website transcended the virtual space, with the ItsGoa magazine – a sought-after resource for visitors to Goa from countries like Norway, Germany, UK, USA, UAE, etc.

Chinmay and Minal travel influencer

Chinmay and Minal
influencers seem to be everywhere, only a few stand out for their genuine contribution and the value they provide to their audience. Chinmay and Minal, a dynamic duo in the travel niche, are two such creators who have carved a unique space for themselves. By focusing primarily on resorts, villas, and various stay options, they have created a brand that is not only informative but also incredibly valuable for their viewers. Their journey, rooted in their passion for travel, was driven by the challenges they faced in finding the perfect stay. Today, they have not only filled that gap but have also helped countless viewers make informed decisions about their vacations.
From Problem to Passion: How It All Started
Chinmay and Minal's journey as travel content creators began with a very personal challenge. Despite their love for travel, they found it difficult to discover reliable and well-priced stay options. Time and again, they encountered misleading photos, unclear amenities, or overpriced accommodations. This gap in information was not only frustrating but also expensive. However, instead of merely complaining about the issue, the couple decided to do something about it.
Chinmay and Minal began creating content around stay options, focusing primarily on resorts and villas. Their main objective was to provide viewers with value—giving them a true glimpse into what the
rooms, amenities, and overall experience were like, ensuring that they wouldn't waste their valuable money on subpar accommodations. This mission resonated with their audience, and soon, their content began to gain traction.
A Unique Approach to Categorizing Stay Options
One of the most fascinating aspects of Chinmay and Minal's content creation process is their systematic approach to categorizing resorts and stay options. Unlike many other influencers who might haphazardly review accommodations, Chinmay and Minal take the time to categorize resorts based on various factors such as location, pricing, and amenities. This method allows their audience to find stay options that fit their specific needs, whether they are looking for a luxury getaway or a budgetfriendly vacation.
Once the categorization is done, the duo heads out to the site to capture the content. They create reels and videos that accurately depict the property, giving viewers a comprehensive view of what to expect. By doing this, they eliminate any guesswork for their audience, allowing them to make an informed decision about their stay.
The Importance of Differentiating Content for Platforms
While Chinmay and Minal are active on both Instagram and YouTube, they are keenly aware of the different content requirements for each platform. This awareness helps them tailor their videos specifically for long-form and short-form content. On YouTube, where they focus on long-form videos, they shoot in horizontal format to provide a cinematic, in-depth experience of the resort. On Instagram, however, they cater to the vertical format required for reels, keeping things concise and visually appealing.
Though they use basic tools for their content creation, their focus is always on the quality of the information they provide. They prioritize perfect price stay options that align with what users are actively looking for. This attention to detail, combined with their genuine passion for helping others, is what makes their content stand out.
Surrounded by nature in Wayanad, Kerala
In the fast-paced world of social media, trends come and go, but Chinmay and Minal have found a way to stay relevant without sacrificing their niche. While they actively monitor Instagram for the latest trends, they do not feel pressured to follow every new wave. Instead, they use trending songs to enhance their informative reels, blending current trends with the core focus of their content—providing reliable and useful information about stay options.
This balance between staying current and remaining true to their niche is one of the reasons for their success. By not getting lost in trends that don’t align with their content, they have been able to build a dedicated audience that values the information they provide.
Viral Success and Audience Engagement
One of the standout moments in Chinmay and Minal's journey was when their reel about a budgetfriendly resort on Calangute Beach went viral. Garnering an impressive 2.7 million views, the reel showed the best stay option in Goa for travelers on a budget. This viral success not only brought them widespread recognition but also reinforced their belief in the importance of good information.
Additionally, the duo takes audience feedback seriously, ensuring that their content is always relevant and tailored to their viewers' needs. For instance, they often create content based on seasonal demand or special requests from their followers, ensuring that their videos are not only informative but also timely.
The Challenges and Joys of Collaborating with Resorts
As successful content creators, Chinmay and Minal have formed collaborations with several resorts, enabling them to offer their viewers exclusive deals. However, the path to these collaborations is not always easy. One of the biggest challenges they face is securing management’s permission to shoot at various properties. But despite these obstacles, the couple perseveres, driven by their passion for helping people find the best stay options.
Their collaborations with resorts have been mutually beneficial, allowing the properties to gain exposure while providing Chinmay and Minal's viewers with the best prices. This win-win scenario is a testament to the value of their content, which focuses on delivering good information rather than mere entertainment.
Celebrating Milestones and Looking to the Future
For Chinmay and Minal, each milestone in their content creation journey is a reason for celebration. In 2022, they experienced the excitement of having one of their long-form YouTube videos go viral. Just six months ago, they had a similar experience on Instagram with one of their reels. These viral moments are not only thrilling but also a reminder of the impact their content has on people. www.itsgoa.com itsgoa_ Itsgoa

They plan to move to Kerala next year to expand their coverage and continue providing valuable content for their viewers.
Conclusion
trusted voices in the travel niche. Whether it’s through YouTube or Instagram, their mission remains the same: to provide viewers with reliable, valuable information that ensures they get the best possible stay options.

In the vibrant world of Indian art, Akash Purushottam Naik has carved out a niche as a distinguished rangoli artist. With a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Goa College of Art specialising in sculpture, Akash's journey is a captivating tale of passion, innovation, and dedication. His remarkable invention of Permanent Rangoli has revolutionised this traditional art form, allowing it to flourish in contemporary settings. This article delves into Akash's artistic journey, exploring his inspirations, techniques, challenges, and future aspirations.
Early Inspirations and Education
Born with a deep-rooted passion for art, Akash has loved creating rangoli since childhood. He fondly recalls experimenting with different patterns and colours, fascinated by how they transformed spaces during festivals. After completing his education in sculpture, he focused on blending traditional techniques with modern artistry. His academic background not only provided him with technical skills but also ignited his creativity, motivating him to push boundaries in his art.
The Birth of Permanent Rangoli
The journey toward developing Permanent Rangoli was driven by Akash's desire to elevate traditional rangoli into a lasting art form. Unlike temporary designs typically made from coloured powders, his innovation utilises limestone powder, lake, and pigment colours. This unique combination ensures that the rangoli remains vibrant and intact for an extended period. Akash's artistic style emphasizes themes related to Goan culture, reflecting his passion for celebrating his heritage.
The Process of Creating Rangoli Art
Akash’s process for creating rangoli art is simple yet profound. It begins with the drawing, followed by the application of pigments and lake colours. Finally, the artist's dedication breathes life into the artwork. His techniques focus on patterns and designs, emphasizing lines and the merging of colours. This method not only enhances the visual appeal but also allows for creative expression, making each piece uniquely his own.
Memorable Achievements
Among Akash's many accomplishments, two stand out prominently. He had the honor of presenting a permanent rangoli portrait to the President of India, Hon. Smt. Droupadi Murmu, and the Prime Minister, Hon. Shri Narendra Modi. This recognition not only highlighted his artistic prowess but also showcased the cultural significance of rangoli in India.
Furthermore, Akash was awarded the Asia Book of Records title for creating the smallest floating portrait rangoli of Lord Saibaba. These achievements solidified his status as a trailblazer in the world of rangoli, inspiring many aspiring artists.

Overcoming Challenges
Throughout his artistic journey, Akash has faced numerous challenges. Initially, he struggled with a lack of proper rangoli colours and guidance, making it difficult to refine his craft. Moreover, the class sizes for rangoli were often small, which limited learning opportunities. However, through hard work and support from family and friends, he overcame these obstacles.
Akash especially credits his mother for her unwavering belief in him and her constant encouragement. Her motivation has played a significant role in his success. Today, he proudly owns Rankash Art Academy, where he trains about 200 students in the art of rangoli. This initiative not only allows him to share his knowledge but also ensures that this beautiful tradition continues to thrive.
The Cultural Significance of Rangoli
Rangoli holds a vital place in Indian culture, especially during festivals and celebrations. It serves as a medium for expressing happiness toward deities and sharing joy with the community. Akash emphasizes that rangoli is a way to welcome guests and express gratitude during festive occasions. By incorporating this art form into celebrations, people honor their traditions while enhancing the festive atmosphere.
To further promote the importance of rangoli, Akash conducts workshops annually, focusing on both traditional techniques and his invention of permanent rangoli. These workshops not only educate participants but also inspire them to explore their creativity.
A Memorable Creation
One of Akash's favorite rangoli designs is a portrait of Lord Ram, created during the pran pratishtha ceremony in Ayodhya. This project was special to him as it was a collaborative effort with his students. The 10-foot portrait made from permanent rangoli was not only a testament to their skills but also an embodiment of their dedication to this beautiful art form.

The exploration of new ideas keeps his work fresh and engaging. He firmly believes that the more creative one is, the more genuine their work will be. This philosophy drives him to continually push the boundaries of rangoli art.
Staying Updated with Trends
To maintain relevance in the ever-evolving world of art, Akash stays updated on the latest trends and techniques in rangoli. He frequently attends orientation programs and workshops led by top rangoli artists across India. Additionally, he visits art exhibitions to gain inspiration and learn new methods. This commitment to continuous learning ensures that his work remains innovative and exciting.
Future Aspirations
Looking to the future, Akash has ambitious goals as a rangoli artist. He envisions taking the concept of
showcasing its significance and beauty on a global scale. By doing so, he hopes to elevate the status of this traditional art form and encourage others to appreciate its value.
Advice for Aspiring Artists
For those interested in learning rangoli, Akash offers valuable advice. He emphasizes the importance of seeking instruction from a proper rangoli academy or experienced artists. While rangoli has traditionally been viewed as an ancient practice for festivals, he encourages aspiring artists to explore the art of permanent rangoli as a viable career option. By doing so, they can secure their future and share their passion with others.
Conclusion

The sudden shift from short films to reels wasn’t planned, but it turned out to be a game-changer. The shorter, more engaging format of reels allowed them to showcase their creativity in a way that resonated with a larger audience. This success motivated Ami Fonekar and his team to focus more on reel production, paving the way for their content to go viral.
Creating Content with a Goan Flavor
One of the key elements that set Ami Fonekar’s content apart is its strong connection to Goan culture. He and his team enjoy creating content based on Goan experiences, traditions, and everyday life. This not only makes their content relatable to Goans but also appeals to a wider audience across India who appreciates the unique charm of Goa.
Ami Fonekar believes that the relatability of his content is a major reason for its success. Whether it’s the way Goan people celebrate festivals or the humorous take on everyday situations, his content
strikes a chord with viewers who see themselves reflected in it. By focusing on what makes Goa special, Ami Fonekar has managed to create a niche for himself in the crowded world of social media.
Collaborative Process and Audience Input
Behind every successful reel is a thoughtful creative process. Ami Fonekar and his team believe in collaboration, often sitting together to brainstorm ideas and analyze everyday happenings that could make for good content. This team effort ensures that their content stays fresh and relevant. They don’t just rely on their own ideas; they actively seek input from their audience, asking for opinions on what works and what needs improvement.
This open dialogue with viewers has helped them fine-tune their content and build a loyal fanbase. By being receptive to feedback, Ami Fonekar and his team ensure their content remains engaging and evolves based on audience preferences. This collaborative approach, combined with a deep understanding of their audience, is a driving force behind their success.

Focus on Instagram and YouTube
While Ami Fonekar and his team initially started with short films, they quickly realized the potential of social media platforms like Instagram and YouTube. Today, Instagram is their primary focus, with YouTube being a secondary platform. The visual and interactive nature of these platforms allows them to reach a wide audience and engage with their viewers in real-time.
Instagram, in particular, has become a vital tool for them, allowing them to create short, impactful content that is easy to consume and share. YouTube, on the other hand, offers a platform for longer-form content, providing a balance between short reels and more detailed videos.
Maintaining Quality and Innovation
One of the challenges of being a content creator is maintaining the quality of the content while keeping up with the fast-paced nature of social media. Ami Fonekar and his team have found a balance by using high-quality equipment, such as cameras and iPhones, to shoot their videos. They edit their

content using the InShot app, which allows them to maintain a professional look while keeping the editing process efficient.
They are also selective about the trends they follow. If a trend contains any inappropriate or vulgar elements that could negatively impact their audience, they choose not to participate. This thoughtful approach ensures that their content remains family-friendly and aligns with the values of their viewers.
Viral Success: “How Girls Pose vs. How Boys Pose”
One of Ami Fonekar’s most successful pieces of content to date is the reel titled “How Girls Pose for a Photo vs. How Boys Pose for a Photo.” This relatable and humorous take on gender differences in posing struck a chord with viewers, racking up an impressive 2.6 million views. The success of this reel wasn’t just limited to Goa; it resonated with people across India, making it one of their most viral pieces of content.
Ami Fonekar believes the reason for its success was its universal appeal. The reel tapped into a common experience that people from all walks of life could relate to, making it easy to share and engage with. This viral success has motivated them to continue creating content that not only entertains but also connects with people on a personal level.
Overcoming Challenges: From Lack of Support to Audience Love
Like many content creators, Ami Fonekar faced challenges in the early stages of his journey. The biggest obstacle was a lack of support, both from within the industry and from those around him. However, over time, this changed. With the continuous love and support from his audience, and the backing of his family, Ami Fonekar was able to overcome these challenges and thrive as a content creator. The turning point came when his content began to gain traction and the support started pouring in. His parents, who were initially skeptical, became his biggest supporters, and the growing fanbase provided the motivation he needed to continue creating and improving. www.itsgoa.com

This strategic approach allows him to stay on top of trends while ensuring that his content remains unique and engaging.

In today’s ever-evolving digital world, the content creation space is brimming with emerging talents who continue to capture hearts and redefine creativity. With a distinctive approach that merges fashion, travel, and her Goan roots, Vanshika's journey has been nothing short of inspiring. Her creative process, determination, and authenticity have led her to find her niche, especially on platforms like Instagram, where her unique Konkani content resonates deeply with audiences.
The Spark That Ignited Creativity
Vanshika's journey into content creation wasn't straightforward, yet it was fueled by her creative flair and personal challenges. She recalls always knowing she had a "creative bee" inside her, showcasing her multiple talents in acting, singing, mimicry, and modeling. However, the true turning point came after a significant setback. Following an elbow surgery due to a road accident, she found herself at a crossroads. Rather than succumbing to the challenges, Vanshika used her recovery period as an opportunity to dive deep into content creation.
Exploring various formats and styles, she eventually gravitated toward fashion, travel, and comedy. The journey to finding her niche was one of trial and error, but the turning point came when she created her now-famous CHAANI reel. This reel not only connected with her audience on a personal level but also showcased her authentic self, celebrating her culture and the Konkani language. Through this process, Vanshika discovered that authenticity, paired with cultural representation, was the key to her success.
Embracing Joyful, Lighthearted Content

Challenges and Triumphs in Content Creation
Content creation, while rewarding, isn’t without its challenges, and Vanshika is no stranger to them. One of the biggest hurdles she faces is balancing her studies with her passion for content creation.
