When the HIV epidemic broke out in India in the 1980s, even a mere handshake with an infected person was believed to be enough to infect healthy people and kill them. At a time when the macabre shadow of AIDS deaths loomed menacingly, change maker Dr. Ishwar Gilada had already taken up the initiative of treating sexually transmitted diseases. He set out a multipronged approach to educate the masses along with his medico-social group: People's Health Organisation (PHO); and began by creating awareness where the risk of HIV transmission was perhaps the highest: Mumbai's Red-light district, Kamathipura. Dr. Gilada even braved spiteful barbs and initial reluctance from the sex workers while making them accept free medical care and condoms. The gargantuan task of helping blunt the impact of the AIDS epidemic, initially in Mumbai and Maharashtra, goes to Dr. Gilada and PHO. Soon the campaign spread to the rest of India. They were organizing street marches, debunking myths about the exploitative Devadasi system, rescuing women from prostitution, exposing child trafficking, and filing court cases for blood safety and release of a HIV+ person held captive in Goa. In all likelihood, in December 1985, Dr. Gilada was the first doctor and PHO was the first NGO to detect HIV infections in India, after testing blood samples from Mumbai's sex workers, blood banks and blood recipients. PHO was the first organisation to vociferously advocate the use of condoms as the safest method of protection against HIV. To-date, Dr. Gilada-led PHO continues to work towards their goal of complete eradication of AIDS.

Think big, dream big and the results will be big raised on a steady diet of poverty and abuse, no one could have expected Shivarama Bhandary-the man behind the famous Shiva chain of salons in Mumbai go on to become a celebrated hairstylist in the glitzy world of Hollywood. Styling at the top traces Shiva's truly amazing life journey. From the rigours and perils of his early years that shaped him, to this day when 'Shiva' is a brand name to reckon with. At once heart-warming and full of grit, this is a deeply inspiring tale that deserves telling, one that will reach out across audiences with the sheer moving force of its story. With scrupulous honesty, it tells us about how Shiva etched his way from a tiny makeshift barber shop when he first came to Bombay, to now running a chain of twenty salons, with the bespoke Shiva's signature salon, located in swish Malabar Hill, and the Juhu-Lokhandwala outlets in Mumbai, drawing maximum elite and celebrity clientele. Styling at the top is a testament to the power of hard work and positivity, and proof that where you start doesn't determine the heights you can reach.
