Dances of India

Dance is an ancient and celebrated cultural tradition in India. Folk dances abound all across the country, and huge crowds of people can be found dancing at festivals and weddings. Dance and song features heavily in Indian cinema (so-called “Bollywood” films), too. But where does Indian dance draw its roots from? Here are six of the most important classical dance forms of India.

Classical Dances of India

Odissi

Dancer performing Indian classical odissi dance.

Odissi is indigenous to Orissa in eastern India. It is predominantly a dance for women, with postures that replicate those found in temple sculptures. Based on archaeological findings, odissi is belived to be the oldest of the surviving Indian classical dances. Odissi is a very complex and expressive dance, with over fifty mudras (symbolic hand gestures) commonly used.

Kuchipudi

Kuchipudi performance.

Unlike the other styles mentioned, kuchipudi requires talent in both dancing and singing. This dance, from the state of Andhra Pradesh in southeastern India, is highly ritualized, with a formalized song-and-dance introduction, sprinkling of holy water, and burning of incense, along with invocations of goddesses. Traditionally the dance was performed by men, even the female roles, although now it is predominantly performed by women.

Manipuri

Manipuri-style performance of Indian classical dance.

Manipuri comes from Manipur in northeastern India. It has its roots in that state’s folk traditions and rituals, and often depicts scenes from the life of the god Krishna. Unlike some of the other, more rhythmic dances, Manipuri is characterized by smooth and graceful movements. Female roles are especially fluid in the arms and hands, while male roles tend to have more forceful movements. The dance may be accompanied by narrative chanting and choral singing.

Kathak

Kathak school dancer, in Mughal costume, performing Indian classical dance.

A dance of northern India, Kathak is often a dance of love. It is performed by both men and women. The movements include intricate footwork accented by bells worn around the ankles and stylized gestures adapted from normal body language. It was originated by Kathakas, professional storytellers who used a mixture of dance, song, and drama. Like other Indian dances it began as a temple dance, but soon moved into the courts of ruling houses.

Kathakali

Kathakali dance

Kathakali comes from southwestern India, around the state of Kerala. Like bharatanatyam, kathakali is a religious dance. It draws inspiration from the Ramayana and stories from Shaiva traditions. Kathakali is traditionally performed by boys and men, even for female roles. The costumes and makeup are especially elaborate, with faces made to look like painted masks and enormous headdresses.

Bharatanatyam

Bharatanatyam performance

Bharatanatyam is a dance of Tamil Nadu in southern India. It traces its origins back to the Natyashastra, an ancient treatise on theatre written by the mythic priest Bharata. Originally a temple dance for women, bharatanatyam often is used to express Hindu religious stories and devotions. It was not commonly seen on the public stage until the 20th century. The dance movements are characterized by bent legs, while feet keep rhythm. Hands may be used in a series of mudras, or symbolic hand gestures, to tell a story.

Tradition in Motion: Kathak Dance Classes in Vadodara

Kathak Dance Classes in Vadodara , a dance from northern India, is frequently described as a dance of love. It is carried out by both males and females. The routines involve sophisticated footwork that is enhanced by bells worn around the ankles, as well as stylized gestures that are derived from standard body language. It was created by Kathakas, who were skilled storytellers who utilised a combination of dance, song, and theatre to convey their stories. It originated as a temple dance, as did many other Indian dances, but it rapidly spread to the courts of royal families across India.Learning Kathak is an excellent way to have a better understanding of Indian culture and traditions. Performance opportunities on stage and numerous other occasions are available to those who study Kathak.

In ancient northern India, Kathakas communicated stories from the great epics and ancient mythology through dance. Characterized by intricate footwork and precise rhythmic patterns, Kathak is one of the most complex Indian classical dance. Had privilege to experience it in real through a close friend of mine.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moksha

“Moksha is a term in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism which refers to various forms of emancipation, enlightenment, liberation, and release.

In its soteriological and eschatological senses, it refers to freedom from saṃsāra, the cycle of death and rebirth.

In its epistemological and psychological senses, moksha refers to freedom from ignorance: self-realization, self-actualization and self-knowledge. (…)

For example, Deutsche sees moksha as transcendental consciousness, the perfect state of being, of self-realization, of freedom and of "realizing the whole universe as the Self".

Moksha in Hinduism, suggests Klaus Klostermaier, implies a setting-free of hitherto fettered faculties, a removing of obstacles to an unrestricted life, permitting a person to be more truly a person in the full sense;

the concept presumes an unused human potential of creativity, compassion and understanding which had been blocked and shut out.

Moksha is more than liberation from a life-rebirth cycle of suffering (samsara); the Vedantic school separates this into two: jivanmukti (liberation in this life) and videhamukti (liberation after death).

Moksha in this life includes psychological liberation from adhyasa (fears besetting one's life) and avidya (ignorance or anything that is not true knowledge). (…)

Yama explains that suffering and saṃsāra results from a life that is lived absent-mindedly, with impurity, with neither the use of intelligence nor self-examination, where neither mind nor senses are guided by one's atma (soul, self).

Liberation comes from a life lived with inner purity, alert mind, led by buddhi (reason, intelligence), realization of the Supreme Self (purusha) who dwells in all beings.

Kathaka Upanishad asserts knowledge liberates, knowledge is freedom. Kathaka Upanishad also explains the role of yoga in personal liberation, moksha.”

Everybody Upside-Down

A year back, the morning after bring his bouncing 2-year-old kid on his shoulders, Peter woke up as well as discovered he couldn't removal his head. The discomfort in his neck as well as obliterating his left arm was so intense that he could not push his back, sit upright, or concentrate enough to own a car. Detected with cervical radiculitis at C5, C6, and also potentially C7, Peter missed work, numbed himself with muscular tissue depressants, as well as kept his neck trussed up in a brace for 2 weeks. He found that the posture that gave him greatest relief was Uttanasana (Standing Ahead Bend). For months, his technique was mild and low-to-the-ground: hip-openers, ahead bends, and corrective work. Five months later on, the skin of his left joint was still numb as well as the initial fingers on his left hand periodically tingled.

The irony of his injury wasn't shed on him. Forty-one years old at the time, Peter had been exercising yoga exercise for 13 years. Though he understood he was growing older, Peter had constantly been 'good' at yoga, taking care of sophisticated postures with aplomb, taking on his peers for the instructor's compliments.

He had begun practicing inversions within the first year of his practice. Should not those 13 years of Headstands and also Shoulderstands have ensured that Peter's neck would certainly be solid, flexible, able to endure his kid's weight as well as unforeseeable, energetic kicks?

Or is it feasible, instead, that Peter's inverted technique created the conditions for his injury? Peter has had tight neck muscular tissues throughout his grown-up life, as well as in times of anxiety, his shoulders stoop up towards his ears. Peter's modus operandi for several years was to reveal up for course a couple of times a week and blithely raise his densely muscled body upside-down through his neck muscular tissues.

He required himself to remain upright through a 10-minute Headstand, sweating liberally. Perhaps one could do that without effects at 20-something, but a lots years later, the initiative takes its toll. We all operate in a tangle of pernicious behaviors, and also unless we purposely unload and also dismantle them in our yoga exercise practice, they lie in wait as well as trip us up.

Many yoga exercise professionals in the USA are probably like Peter-householders pushed by other demands and also wishes, not able to exercise yoga daily. They reveal up for course whenever practical, and execute every present that does not prompt as well as acute pain.

Peter's instructor, like any good yoga instructor, advised his pupils to create a house practice, but Peter had never ever found the moment. While it's impossible to claim just how crucial Peter's upside down method was to his injury, it deserves asking the inquiry: If he had actually practiced extra constantly, even more mindfully, could he have actually avoided it?

Sirsasana (Headstand) and Sarvangasana (Shoulderstand) are sexy poses-physically tough, aesthetically significant, as well as exhilarating. They are likewise surprisingly easily accessible. Regardless of the restrictions of a limited lower back or hamstrings, many yoga experts can move right into an inversion reasonably quickly.

As yoga expands ever much more preferred (there are a lot more students exercising hatha yoga exercise in The golden state compared to in the whole nation of India today, asserts Larry Payne, coauthor of Yoga for Dummies), students are enthusiastically practicing Headstand and Shoulderstand across the nation-in jampacked Ashtanga courses without props, as well as for relatively extended periods (10 mins plus) in Iyengar Yoga courses.

Unfortunately, nevertheless, beginning as well as expert yoga trainees are turning up in the offices of bodyworkers, chiropractic practitioners, and also doctor with compression of the upper spine and also impaired mobility in the neck, probably from the technique of inversions.

In a society that highlights competition as well as accomplishment, some trainees are clearly flinging themselves right into inversions also soon. Couple that with the desultory nature of lots of people's practices-one class a week at finest, on a drop-in basis-and classes that are as well huge for the teacher to see everybody in a provided present, and also you have the dish for possible disaster.

How, after that, do we evaluate and come close to inversions, presents that are stated to be important and that possess distinctive physiological advantages? We can begin by sculling back via the years and studying the role of inversions in timeless yoga, at the river's source.

Fountain of Youth

Yogis in India have actually trying out their own bodies and breath searching for knowledge for at the very least 5,000 years. Exactly what they pertained to understand regarding themselves was a direct outcome of continual self-study as well as reflection, or svadhyaya.

In their stringent reflection and spartan techniques, over the sluggish unraveling of days and months as well as years, they familiarized and love the deep, long-lasting motions in the body-the pulse and rhythm of liquids and also electrical charges-and put exercises, photos, and also language to those activities, so we can follow.

The ancient texts specify that there are 7 major chakras (or psychic energy centers) along the vertical axis of the body. At the danger of being reductive, one could describe hatha yoga as methods designed to increase prana, or life force, up the spinal column, the path of the chakras. David Gordon White, in his interesting book, The Alchemical Body: Siddha Traditions in Middle ages India, writes of an 'inner space' that starts at the muladhara chakra at the base of the spine. It runs upward with the heart, and ends at the fontanelle, or 'slit of brahman,' referred to as the brahmarandra, in the cranial safe. He prices estimate the Kathaka Upanishad (6.16), which states: 'There are a hundred and also one channels of the heart. Among these skips to the crown of the head. Increasing by it, one mosts likely to immortality.'

The Natha siddhas as well as other Tantric schools, forefathers of the hatha yoga exercise practice, believed that amrita, the nectar of immortality, was held within the cranial vault, at the 7th chakra, the sahasrara chakra. The valued nectar, meting out our days, fell through the center of the body and also was eaten in the fire of the upper body. Transform yourself upside-down, the reasoning went, and amrita would certainly be kept, hence prolonging life and protecting one's prana.

The Pradipika listings Viparita Karani Mudra as one of 'the 10 mudras which dominate old age and also fatality.' However, that calls for an everyday practice of Viparita Karani Mudra for 3 hrs!

From the Goraksha Shataka, a twelfth- or thirteenth-century text on hatha yoga, we learn that 'approximately the navel stays the lonesome sunlight, whose essence is fire, situated at the base of the taste is the eternal moon, whose essence is nectar. That which rains below the downturned mouth of the moon is ingested by the upturned mouth of the sun. The method [of Viparita Karani] is to be done as a means to acquiring the nectar [which would otherwise be lost]'

Defying Gravity

Until really just recently, there has actually been little passion in the West in objectively documenting the results of yoga on health and wellness, specifically for the much more advanced or esoteric practices, such as inversions. The medical physicians who have conducted the present studies are mainly Indian. Ralph Laforge, M.Sc., handling supervisor at a facility at Battle each other University Medical Center as well as an authority on the clinical foundations of hatha yoga exercise, understands of just two professional tests in this nation developed to identify the physiological advantages of inversions, both which were too 'statistically underpowered' to attract clear conclusions.

Our understanding of how inversions benefit us, after that, is built on expert point of view, study, and educated reasoning. In the lack of more medically rigorous studies, we can cite biomechanical concepts, action indices such as heart price or blood pressure, and witness the effects of inversions on people who practice regularly.

All the proof indicates one principal, galvanizing effect that inversions carry the professional: They upend one's relationship to gravity. Gravity has a profound impact on the physical processes of the body. As NASA discovered and Jerome Groopman reported in a New Yorker article (February 14, 2000), once people enter zero gravity, we go through severe biomedical problems. Our sense of balance, determined by the vestibular system of the internal ear as well as calibrated to minute liquid activities, is destroyed. Blood, no more weighted in the lower upper body as well as legs, floodings upwards and also the heart rates up, prompting dehydration as well as eventually anemia. Muscles degeneration and bone mass drops precipitously.

Here on earth, gravity slowly however certainly evaluates us down and also saps our toughness. We stand, rest, or walk with head above the heart, legs and also pelvis beneath. As the years rack up, so do the damages. Subcutaneous fat sags. Varicose capillaries and piles erupt. Weary of persistently pumping blood with its vast circulatory network, the heart falters. According to Payne, the old yogis called gravity 'the quiet enemy.' The yogi does a martial-arts sleight-of-hand: Overthrow oneself as well as enlist gravity's power to apprehend the devastations of that self-same force.

The human body is sensitive to the variations of gravity due to the fact that it contains more than 60 percent water. From the skin in, the body is dense with cells, drifting in a bath of intercellular liquid. An intricate network of vessels weaves in as well as around every cell, progressively removaling fluids via shutoffs, pumps, and porous membrane layers, committed to transferring, nourishing, washing, and also cleansing.

According to David Coulter, Ph.D., who educated composition at the University of Minnesota for 18 years, when one inverts, cells liquids of the reduced extremities drain-far a lot more efficiently compared to when one is asleep. Areas of blockage clear. In a 1992 Yoga exercise International write-up on Headstand as well as the circulatory system, Coulter wrote: 'If you can stay in an upside down stance for simply 3 to 5 minutes, the blood will certainly not only drain promptly to the heart, however tissue fluids will certainly move a lot more successfully right into the capillaries and also lymph channels of the reduced extremities and of the abdominal and also pelvic body organs, promoting a much healthier exchange of nutrients as well as wastes in between cells and also blood vessels.'

All Systems Check

There are 4 significant systems in the body that the practice of inversions is said to favorably affect: cardio, lymphatic, nervous, and also endocrine.

The circulatory system is included the heart, the lungs, and also the entire system of vessels that feed oxygen as well as gather co2 and other waste products from the cells. Arteries extend in an elaborate tributary system from the heart, which pumps newly oxygenated blood from the lungs external. Veins return blood to the heart, and, unlike arteries, compose a low-pressure system that depends on muscular motion or gravity to removal blood along. One-way shutoffs at normal periods stop backwash as well as keep liquids removaling to the heart in a system referred to as 'venous return.'

Turning yourself inverted urges venous return. Inning accordance with Pat Layton, physiology educator for the Iyengar Yoga Institute of San Francisco's Advanced Researches Program, 'Individuals need to do aerobics due to the fact that they don't invert. You have to run actually hard-get the heart pumping hard-to circulate blood down to the feet and also up the back. Not that you shouldn't do aerobics, yet inversions are a healthier way to obtain the advantages [to the circulatory system], especially as you age.'

Layton thinks that inversions additionally ensure healthier and extra effective lung cells. When standing or resting upright, gravity draws our fluids earthward, as well as blood 'perfuses' or saturates the reduced lungs better. The reduced lung tissue is therefore much more compressed than the upper lungs. As an outcome, the air we inhale moves normally right into the open lungs of the top lungs. Unless we take a great, deep breath, we do not elevate the proportion of air to blood in the reduced lungs. When we invert, blood perfuses the well-ventilated top lobes of the lungs, therefore making sure a lot more reliable oxygen-to-blood exchange and healthier lung tissue.

Finally, as Payne states, 'Inverting offers the heart a break.' The heart functions doggedly to guarantee that fresh oxygenated blood makes its way up to the brain as well as its sensory organs. When inverting, the stress differential across the body is reversed, and also blood floodings the carotid arteries in the neck. It is believed that baroreceptors, systems that calibrate blood circulation to the brain, sense the rise in blood, and reduce the circulation, therefore decreasing blood pressure as well as heart rate. It has not, nonetheless, been clinically established whether the practice of inversions can reduce blood pressure over the long haul, as well as actually, high blood pressure is normally taken into consideration a contraindication for inversions.

The lymphatic system is accountable for waste removal, liquid balance, and immune system response. Lymph vessels develop amongst the capillary beds of the circulatory system, but comprise a different system that moves stray proteins, waste materials, and added liquids, filtering the fluid back through the lymph nodes and also discarding just what remains into the blood circulation system at the subclavian blood vessels, under the collarbones. The lymphatic system is similar to a sewage system-a detailed, underground network tied to every house in town-that maintains the citizens healthy.

Inversions, after that, are similar to the sump pump in the cellar, thrusting sewer right into the pipe. Lymph, like the blood returning to your heart by means of the veins, depends on muscle motion and also gravity to promote its return. Because the lymphatic system is a shut stress system and has one-way valves that maintain lymph relocating towards the heart, when one transforms upside down, the entire lymphatic system is stimulated, thus reinforcing your body immune system. Viparita Karani is the very best instance of this, as it is a light inversion that one can enjoy for a minimum of 5 minutes without any stress and anxiety to the body when one is tired out or ill. It interests keep in mind that for troubles like varicose blood vessels and edema (swelling) of the feet, when lymph is unable to preserve the appropriate fluid equilibrium in the lower extremities, physicians commonly merely tell people to place their feet up.

Head over Heels

When one boils down from Headstand, one often really feels more clear as well as calmer. The usual presumption is that Headstand floods the mind with fresh oxygenated blood, and also the mind is revitalized. Is there such a thing as way too much blood to the brain? Dr. B. Ramamurthi, a neuroscientist based in India, has revealed that the mind is protected from an influx of blood that would certainly bewilder its fragile frameworks, and that when a fairly healthy individual inverts, there is generally no excessive increase in the capillary of the mind. Intense pressure in the head or bloodshot eyes, nevertheless, ask for a changed technique. A research by Dr. F. Chandra, well known in Europe for her talks on the physiological as well as emotional impacts of yoga, assumes that Headstand might effect a base-line opening of capillary, making them much more reliable at dilating as well as constricting to effectively shunt blood to the energetic areas of the brain.

Inversions might likewise influence the movements of cerebrospinal liquid (CSF), the juice of the central nerve system which streams from the mind to the spine. The top of the skull gets intense stress in Headstand, which, when properly done, might advertise flexibility in the cranial bones, therefore boosting the production of CSF in the ventricles of the brain.

The result of inversions on the complex endocrine system, the body's glandular system of hormonal agent delivery, has been much proclaimed, however is perhaps the least recognized: Shoulderstand is extensively advised for menopausal and perimenopausal ladies because it is presumed that it boosts the thyroid as well as parathyroid glands, which produce hormonal agents that control one's metabolic process. This has not been scientifically shown, however Payne assumes that inverting places these glands, located in the top chest, in a 'basic bathroom of blood,' hence enhancing their efficiency.

In Headstand, the pineal and pituitary glands (which sit behind the eyes in the center of the head) are upended 180 degrees, straight over the fontanelle. We understand that the pineal and also pituitary glands are liable for growth and also sex hormonal agents. We do unknown exactly what turning around these glands in the area of gravity does. Could this, nonetheless, be the dripping amrita of the ancient yogis-might they have sensed the sluggish release of hormones from the cranial safe and also made use of inversions to stem or promote the release, advertising health and wellness and hampering aging?

To Invert or Not to Invert?

B., an osteopathic specialist, spoke to me just on the problem of privacy. He has actually collaborated with a couple of long-lasting yoga experts in their 50s who involved him with persistent pain or impaired flexibility in their necks. They have bodies of 30-year-olds, yet their necks are so stiff and also pain-ridden from the yoga inversions, they are like the necks of 60-year-olds, he claims. Over his 20-plus years of technique, B. has seen lots of clients who, already vulnerable in the upper spine from cervical deterioration, whiplash, an old injury, or misalignment, unknowingly intensify the scenario by inverting in yoga course.

He explains that the brachial plexus, an essential network of nerves that leave the spinal column from between the reduced cervical vertebrae and upper thoracic (C5-8 and T1), enervates the whole top extremities and shoulder region. Headstand and also Shoulderstand area tremendous compressive force on the upper spinal column, which, for those that are prone, can cause nerve irritability and compression to the brachial plexus, in addition to 'basic thoracic outlet syndrome,' which could jeopardize blood circulation as well as manifest as feeling numb in the arms and also hands.

Arthur Kilmurray, supervisor of Mystic River Yoga exercise Studio in Medford, Massachusetts, has experiences that support B.'s cases. He began studying Iyengar Yoga in the late 1970s and also was doing long inversions within four to five years. However by 1988, Shoulderstand had actually come to be impossible: He felt as if his head would certainly take off when up in the pose. Kilmurray assumes this originates from a football injury at age 21, exacerbated by lengthy inversions. Also now, although he really feels no discomfort, chiropractic doctors are surprised by the lack of variety of movement in his neck. Kilmurray does not presently exercise Headstand or instruct inversions, and also educates his students to 'create level of sensitivity to the breath, prana, and fluidity of the inner body' prior to moving to the longer inversions and also advanced positions.

Inversions are except every person. Also if you are inverting constantly currently, there will be times when the technique is unsuitable. Despite this 'failure' to invert, it might be useful to recall the yogic tenets of ahimsa, nonviolence or compassion, as well as svadhyaya. We exercise yoga to reduce suffering and also create our ability to be fully present in our lives. Why linger in exercising Headstand as well as Shoulderstand if it triggers you pain? Restorative postures such as Viparita Karani (Legs-Up-The-Wall Posture) and a sustained Setu Bandha (Bridge Pose) will certainly offer you some of the benefits of Headstand as well as Shoulderstand, without exhausting the cervical spinal column.

If you are brand-new to yoga exercise, take your time prior to inverting-a year is not as well long. Job very closely with an observant and educated teacher. Attend class regularly. Discover the basics: Discover the expansion of the back first in Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward-Facing Pet), open up the shoulders with Adho Mukha Vrksasana (Handstand), Pincha Mayurasana (Forearm Balance), and Vasisthasana (Side Slab Pose), and create equilibrium, quality, as well as toughness with the standing positions.

Studying the Yoga Sutra as well as Bhagavad Gita will certainly help you structure a yoga exercise practice that is well balanced and also smart. Exercising alone will certainly aid you remove need to do your asanas for others as well as grow a deeper understanding of your body as well as its rhythms so that you can practice in ways that respond to your needs. With mindfulness, also a newbie can exercise inversions without injury.

If you already invert, ask yourself just how you do it. Do you make use of muscle mass to keep up, as Peter did? Just how much do you observe yourself in the position, concentrating on your placement? If you want to function in the direction of longer poses, of course do so. Do so smartly, and be willing to advance gradually if you want a healthy neck right into your dotage. Observe the refined adjustments in your neck and throat, and also see your breath. Keep up for short amount of times first-a minute or 2. Back up on celebration. Constantly boil down if there is discomfort.

After the injury, Peter has transformed his method. He now sits daily, goes to a regular restorative yoga class, and does shorter inversions. He has recognized that purpose and focus are more vital than throwing himself through the postures. Practiced without wisdom and concern, inversions can lead to injury. Yet at their ideal, these poses sing up the spine as well as the body hums with happiness. Headstand and also Shoulderstand are called the king and also queen of the asanas-and they could be instead cavalier with their topics' necks. Be clever yet undaunted: They approve excellent benefits to those who come close to with regard.

Papier entinta $ 50 millones de la Serie C a medida que se postula para liderar el mercado de papelería en línea

Nueva Noticia publicada en https://noticiasq.com/papier-entinta-50-millones-de-la-serie-c-a-medida-que-se-postula-para-liderar-el-mercado-de-papeleria-en-linea/

Papier entinta $ 50 millones de la Serie C a medida que se postula para liderar el mercado de papelería en línea

Papier, una startup que aprovecha la tecnología para traer productos no tecnológicos al mundo, ha recaudado algunos fondos para continuar expandiendo su negocio tras la fuerte demanda de sus cuadernos, planificadores, tarjetas y otros artículos de papelería personalizados que vende en línea. . La startup londinense ha recaudado $50 millones, una Serie C que usará para expandirse a los EE. UU. y continuar aumentando las ofertas para incluir más productos en papel, así como bolígrafos y otros suministros que puede encontrar en su escritorio físico: que podría incluir almacenamiento en el escritorio, utensilios de escritura como bolígrafos y lápices, o cualquier otra cosa para apoyar su escritura, según Taymoor Atighetchi, director ejecutivo y fundador de Papier.

“La misión es construir una marca global de papelería”, dijo en una entrevista. “Es un mercado de $ 200 mil millones y no tiene una marca en línea fuerte, nada que defina la categoría de la forma en que podría tener con otras verticales. Esta financiación es una parte importante de ese plan. Nos empuja a nivel mundial y a los Estados Unidos”. Agregó que si bien Papier seguirá siendo privado por ahora, «vemos que una cotización pública es absolutamente parte del viaje».

Paris VC Singular lideró la ronda con la participación de otros nuevos patrocinadores dmg ventures, Lansdowne Partners y Kathaka; y patrocinadores anteriores Felix Capital y Beringea. La startup ahora ha recaudado $ 65 millones y no revela su valoración, pero sus ingresos han crecido un 150% en los últimos dos años, dijo.

Es interesante ver que uno de los principales inversores de Papier en esta ronda es el brazo de riesgo corporativo de uno de los editores de periódicos más grandes del mundo, el Daily Mail Group. En un momento en que importantes industrias basadas en papel, como la publicación, se vuelven cada vez más digitales, Papier, en cierto modo, presenta una ruta interesante para salir de la oscuridad para los productos analógicos que no canibaliza toda la base de ingresos.

La startup ha detectado una oportunidad de crecer simplemente duplicando la apuesta por objetos tradicionales abordados de una manera que atraiga a los consumidores de hoy. Con eso quiero decir que se apoya en gr��ficos modernos para sus diseños de portada que aparecen en sitios como Instagram y Pinterest, colaborando con grandes nombres como V&A, Mother of Pearl, Temperley London, Rosie Assoulin, Headspace y Matilda Goad; y proporciona una forma de personalizar esos diseños para los compradores con nombres y algunas palabras.

Y, en opinión de Atighetchi, esos productos están abordando una cierta estética que está surgiendo entre los consumidores más jóvenes que pueden ser nativos digitales, pero cuando se trata de cómo son productivos o simplemente pasan el tiempo libre, también están buscando alternativas a la pantallas que definen gran parte de sus vidas.

Y parece que una computadora portátil bien ubicada funciona: contrariamente a lo que podría suponer un cliente mayor típico de una computadora portátil, de hecho, la generación del milenio, dijo la compañía, es su grupo demográfico más grande en la actualidad, con el 53% de todas las ventas, con Los usuarios de la Generación Z son el segmento de más rápido crecimiento.

Él dice que la primera parte de los planes de crecimiento de la compañía ha sido ganar más conocimiento en el mercado para la gama de productos que ya se venden: en el Reino Unido, el conocimiento de la marca es de alrededor del 30%, dijo; mientras que en los EE. UU. es del 15 %, eso significa que se invertirá mucho en marketing para “compradores de papelería que no saben que existimos”, dijo.

Estados Unidos será un foco particular en este sentido: la compañía proyecta que representará el 40% de los ingresos este año, y se ha quintuplicado desde 2019.

La compañía no planea crear versiones digitales de sus productos, no hay traducciones al estilo Evernote de notas escritas en aplicaciones, pero Atighetchi dice que la compañía quiere alinearse con otras empresas digitales que también se inclinan por la idea de brindarles a los consumidores formas de desconectarse del mundo digital. De hecho, esta ha sido un área de tecnología en crecimiento impulsada no solo por las empresas más pequeñas, sino también por los principales jugadores de la plataforma como Apple, que ha incorporado nuevos modos en iOS para ayudar a las personas a alejarse de sus pantallas al minimizar las notificaciones y simplificar la forma en que usa sus dispositivos. en determinados momentos del día.
