Mygate CEO Abhishek Kumar Explains ‘Zero Pay’ Role, Emphasizing Purpose Over Pay

“Compensation: Purpose & Joy”: Mygate CEO Abhishek Kumar Clarifies Intent Behind Zero Pay CEO Job Post 

Bengaluru, 31st October, 2025: Mygate, India’s leading community management app, has announced one of the most unusual job openings of the year  it’s hiring for the role of CEO. The catch? There’s no salary, just a lot of purpose. 

In a recent LinkedIn post, Mygate Co-founder & CEO Abhishek Kumar invited applications for a position that demanded “a strong leader with infinite patience, empathy, and the ability to get things done.” The post went on to describe the ideal candidate as someone thick-skinned, calm under criticism, part call-centre executive, part event manager and available most weekends. 

The internet was quick to speculate, but the reveal came soon after through a brand film: the CEO isn’t for Mygate. It’s for the countless housing societies across India and stands for Chief Everything Officer. 

The film turns the spotlight on the Resident Welfare Association (RWA) or Management Committee members the real people who keep gated communities running. They’re the ones ensuring maintenance gets paid, security runs smoothly, and festivals are celebrated. 

However, they’re also the ones residents love to question. The RWA often face skepticism seen as too strict, too bureaucratic, or simply too involved. But Mygate’s campaign reminds people that behind those circulars, committee meetings, and rulebook reminders are individuals volunteering their evenings and weekends to hold the chaos together. 

Through humour and empathy, Mygate draws attention to the complexity of community living where everyone has an opinion, but few step forward to take responsibility. The campaign reminds residents that behind every late-night complaint or endless dispute, there’s an ordinary person managing extraordinary chaos, and for no pay or appreciation. 

Speaking about the initiative, Abhishek Kumar, Co-founder & CEO, Mygate, said: “Everyone has their qualms about the RWA, and thinks they can do the job better and the person with the most amount of criticism is often the last to volunteer. This campaign is our way of acknowledging the people who actually put in the work. They may not be perfect, but they keep our communities together. They are, in every sense, the Chief Everything Officers of our societies.”

Edge by Titan Celebrates Time as Art in its New Ultraslim campaign

At just 3.3 mm, Titan Edge’s slimmest watch yet takes center stage in a campaign that spotlights precision, patience, and the art of owning time without chasing it.

Mumbai, October 31, 2025: Edge by Titan has unveiled a compelling new campaign for the Edge Ultraslim — its slimmest watch ever at just 3.3 mm — rooted in the belief that true mastery is never rushed. More than a campaign, it is art in motion, celebrating creation unbound by time.

The film follows a master immersed in his craft — every gesture deliberate, every detail shaped with patience. Here, time is no longer a measure of urgency but a quiet companion, reminding us that greatness is born not in haste, but in devotion and vision. The result is a masterpiece — the Edge Ultraslim, a triumph of precision engineering and sculptural design that reimagines how time is experienced, savoured and felt rather than chased down to the last second.

Powered by the 1.15 mm Calibre Edge T9081, one of the world’s thinnest quartz movements, and defined by its single-hand floating disc, the Edge Ultraslim moves in ten-minute intervals, inviting wearers to embrace time as moments to be lived rather than seconds to be chased.

“The Edge Ultraslim is more than a watch, it is a meditation on time,” said Ms Kalpana Rangamani, CSMO, Premium & Luxury Watches. “This campaign captures its spirit perfectly — showing that mastery is achieved not by racing against the clock, but by rising above it because time obeys the maker’s will.”

For the unveiling of Titan Edge Ultraslim, guests were invited into a world that blurred the lines between design, philosophy, and art. The experience drew from the four elements — Wind, Water, Earth, and Sky — each space conceived as a sensory meditation on time unfolding around them.
As they entered, visitors were enveloped by concentric zones, each unfolding with light, sound, and form designed to reflect one element’s rhythm. Wind whispered through kinetic sculptures that moved with unseen precision. Water shimmered in fluid reflections that rippled across mirrored planes, distorting and revealing time in passing moments. Earth grounded the experience with texture, weight, and material — a reminder of the craft and human touch that anchor every Edge creation. Finally, Sky opened into light, air, and kinetic moments that showcased the watch— the purest expression of freedom, where time seemed to expand and slow in equal measure.

The journey culminated in a seamless reveal — the Edge Ultraslim emerging from darkness into light, its impossibly thin 3.3 mm form gleaming with quiet authority. On the wrist, it felt almost weightless, yet carried a sense of permanence and poise that few objects achieve

Through this carefully orchestrated movement, guests didn’t just witness time — they felt its stillness and flow. The installation embodied the Edge Ultraslim’s philosophy: that time is not pressure, but possibility.
