PUNE: Nihilent has announced the launch of nSEPIA Beta, marking the first market testing phase of the world’s first emotion wellness platform designed to help users measure their emotional state objectively and improve it through personalised interventions within minutes. The beta is now available for market testing.

The opening of nSEPIA’s private beta was marked with a symbolic ribbon-cutting ceremony by Kiran Deshpande, Executive Council Member, SemiX IIT Bombay, and Board Member, 14Trees Foundation, signifying the beginning of a transformative journey in emotional wellness. The evening also brought together the first “Founding Circle”, a select group of early participants who will actively engage with the platform and contribute to shaping its evolution.

Built as a closed-loop system and grounded in a clear belief that emotional wellness should be accessible, understood, and available on demand, nSEPIA has been developed to bring structure and measurability to emotional wellness. The platform first detects a user’s emotional state through a quick scan, then recommends interventions aligned to that state, and finally enables the user to validate change through a rescan. In doing so, it moves emotional wellness away from assumption and subjective interpretation toward clearer understanding and measurable response.

At a time when stress, anxiety, burnout, worry, and emotional strain are becoming a growing part of everyday life, nSEPIA addresses a gap that has remained largely unresolved. While physical health can be assessed through established indicators, emotional health has continued to rely on self-report, expression, or broad wellness content. nSEPIA has been built to change that by enabling users to understand, track, and improve their emotional state clearly and consistently.

The platform begins with a 30second scan that captures emotional state in real time. Powered by Emoscape, a clinically validated emotion AI engine that objectively extracts emotional signatures independent of expression, language, and culture, the scan is intended to give users a more objective understanding of how they actually feel. Following this, users are presented with a visual representation of their emotional state in the form of an emotion orb and observation-based guidance that explains the state in simple language.

At its core is the Emoscape engine. An AI-led system that scans the face for subtle, involuntary signals to map emotional state in real time, independent of expression or language. The goal is simple: to help people understand what they truly feel, and work with it more effectively.

Based on the emotional state detected, nSEPIA offers exclusive, science-backed emotion interventions including music, breathwork, yoga, and meditation. These are not generic wellness options, but experiences aligned to the user’s current emotional state. The platform also includes an emotion scale, progress tracking, and a rescan option that allows users to observe whether their emotional state has shifted after an intervention.

This combination of emotional clarity, personalised action, and measurable proof defines nSEPIA’s value and sets it apart from existing offerings in the wellness space. Rather than functioning as a meditation app or a therapy alternative, nSEPIA introduces a new category that combines emotion measurement, personalised intervention, and outcome validation within one system.

The beta launch will allow Nihilent to test nSEPIA in the market, understand how users engage with the platform, and gather feedback that will help shape the next stage of its development. The beta phase is expected to offer early insight into user behaviour, intervention preferences, and the role such a platform can play in everyday emotional wellbeing.

Speaking on the launch, L. C. Singh, Founder and Executive Chairman, Nihilent, said, “Technology has measured almost everything around us, but very little within us. nSEPIA is a step toward changing that. nSEPIA Beta represents an important step in bringing a new way of looking at emotional wellness into the market. While emotional health affects everyday life in profound ways, it has largely remained outside the reach of structured measurement and response. nSEPIA has been built to address that gap. It gives users a way to understand their emotional state more clearly, act on it through relevant interventions, and track change over time. With the beta now available for market testing, we look forward to seeing how this platform begins to shape real-world use.

With the launch of nSEPIA Beta, Nihilent takes an important step in opening early market access to a platform built around clarity, response, and measurable progress, while introducing a new approach to emotional wellness.

NEW DELHI: Technologist, corporate leader, and storyteller LC Singh has launched his debut book, The Collapse of Illusions the India Habitat Centre, New Delhi. Published by DishaNXT, the book is now available on Amazon, Flipkart and across select bookstores in India. The event was attended by leaders from the creative, academic, and business communities who have engaged with LC Singh across his multifaceted journey.

The Collapse of Illusions begins by narrating how the first flicker of life occurred, multiplied, formed identities, and built constructs such as God, Time, and Self to sustain meaning. Through elegant prose and philosophical insight, the narrative introduces EchoTime – an emotional clock that explains why a heartbreak can feel longer than a decade and a quiet embrace, like an instant. It speaks to how stress accelerates aging and how love repairs it. The book does not seek to provide answers. Instead, it holds up a mirror to everything we thought was real, unravelling it through reflection and inquiry.

The book is built on five decades of learning and reflection. It draws from LC Singh’s sustained inquiry into existentialism, systems theory, science, and philosophy. It does not emerge from sudden realizations but from years of focused investigation on who we are, why we exist, and what drives our likes and dislikes. A technologist, photographer and writer, director, and producer of Banaras: A Mystic Love Story (2006), his journey spans remote villages and global boardrooms, Harvard and Banaras, science and silence. He continues to be a lifelong student of epistemology and ontology. 

“Beyond technology and success, what truly defines us are our emotions. The ones that guide our choices, shape our empathy, and make us human. This book is about recognising this,” says LC Singh, Author of The Collapse of Illusions. 

This post-launch release follows early acclaim from global voices. Dr. Satish K. Tripathi, President of the University at Buffalo, SUNY, says, “LC Singh’s The Collapse of Illusions dazzles with moments of brilliance, weaving metaphysics, philosophy, science, and Vedantic wisdom into a seamless journey through life’s most profound questions. It boldly invites the reader to explore the mysteries of existence – sometimes chaotic, always illuminating.”

K. V. Sridhar (Pops), Chief Creative Officer and global brand leader, shares, “Profound, poetic and scientifically insightful, yet remarkably simple – truly brilliant.”

Chris Chapman, Vice Chair at ICANN and former CEO of the Sydney Olympic Stadiums, writes, “What remains when belief fades? That’s what I ask myself every second day. LC Singh’s book asks this fundamental question through synthesising the disciplines of both science and philosophy and seeking to do so through a coherent framework. The book is original, its profoundness helping me to ease my anxieties.”

Pankaj Shukla, popular writer, director, and producer, writes, “This book touches the very basic chord of music called Life.”

The Collapse of Illusions is meant for those who are comfortable sitting with questions rather than rushing for answers. It is for existential seekers, thoughtful readers, and anyone curious about what lies beneath names and beliefs.

This is the first in a forthcoming series of reflections that LC Singh plans to share with readers. The book will continue to be promoted across academic, creative, and digital spaces with future conversations planned to explore its core ideas.

Aakanksha produced a book trailer, which she shared on her YouTube channel, to give her emotions some visual context. It clearly demonstrates her vision and directing skills, both as a writer and a director. The book was recently made accessible on Kindle, Flipkart, and Amazon. A feast for the eyes with a lot of grace and creativity displayed, the book is so elegantly and exquisitely designed.

Speaking about the new book, Aakanksha Chopda said, “When things aren’t going well in our personal or professional lives and we’re unsure of what to do next to succeed, be happy, and be pleased in our lives, we can sometimes become caught up in negativity. People frequently fail to include the most important puzzle piece—our thoughts—when attempting to put the jigsaw of human emotions together. I wish to convey to readers through the launch of the new book that there is always a reason for positivity and that, despite the obstacles, the light will finally shine through.”

Having been a tarot card reader for 15 years, she improved her abilities during COVID by taking courses in candle making and crystal healing and has produced the most exquisite candles, which were introduced at the launch event. Currently working as CMO at Beyond Luxe, Aakanksha, a devoted follower of Shiva, has composed a poem for Shiva since she firmly believes that all she is, is a result of the Almighty.

Aakanksha Chopda collaborated with designer Archana Kochhar for her opulent and spectacular book launch, raising money for underprivileged children in partnership with Fortis Hospital, and selling ultra-luxe healing candles. The show was magnificent and resembled the designers’ collections in a dreamlike, enchanted way. The models on the runway are illuminated and elegantly displayed beyond opulent healing candles. It seemed like a dream to see everyone and everything out together.
