In an age of constant digital connectivity, MAGGI has launched ‘The Togetherness Table’, a social experiment designed to highlight the emotional distance that can develop between people who share close relationships. The initiative reflects the brand’s belief that spending time together helps people stay connected. Instant messages, synced calendars and regular digital updates have made staying connected easier than ever. However, busy schedules, work commitments, studies, daily commutes and screen time can leave little room for meaningful conversations with loved ones. As a result, relationships can gradually take a back seat, even when people live under the same roof. To…

Ask an economist whether India is doing well and you’ll get a number: the growth rate, the size of the economy, a position on some global league table. It’s a tidy answer, but an incomplete one. GDP measures how much we produced this year. It doesn’t tell us whether we ended the year with more or less than we started with. A shopkeeper who quietly sells off his stock and records the cash as profit wouldn’t be called successful. A country can do a version of this without anyone noticing, because the books aren’t set up to catch it. There…

When you book a train ticket on IRCTC, a small box asks if you want travel insurance. At present, the price is 45 paise per passenger, taxes included. It is so small that most people either tick it without a thought or skip it without a thought. For that amount, the scheme promises up to ₹10 lakh. So does it really pay? The honest answer is yes, but only in a narrow set of situations. Knowing those situations decides whether the 45 paise is a smart spend. The product is called the Optional Travel Insurance Scheme, and Indian Railways offers…

Hikal Limitedના કિસ્સામાં જવાબ કંપનીના ત્રણ દાયકા જૂના ઇતિહાસમાં છુપાયેલો છે. કંપનીની 38મી વાર્ષિક સામાન્ય સભામાં શેરધારકોએ શ્રી Sameer Hiremathની અધ્યક્ષ અને વ્યવસ્થાપક નિયામક તરીકેની નિમણૂકને મંજૂરી આપી છે. આ કાર્યકાળ 1 ઓક્ટોબર 2026થી 30 સપ્ટેમ્બર 2031 સુધી, એટલે કે પાંચ વર્ષ સુધી ચાલશે. Hiremath મે 1999થી Hikalના સંચાલક મંડળનો ભાગ છે. એટલે કે આજની નિમણૂક કોઈ નવી શરૂઆત નથી, પણ લગભગ ત્રણ દાયકા લાંબા સંબંધનું વધુ એક પ્રકરણ છે. 2021ની વાર્ષિક સામાન્ય સભામાં તેમની છેલ્લે પુનઃનિમણૂક…
