Talking about the new campaign, <keyword id="518549" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Dinesh-Agrawal">Dinesh Agrawal</keyword>, Business Head – Dhara, Mother Dairy Fruit &amp; Vegetable Pvt. Ltd., said “We started about bringing in a change with a ground-breaking campaign in 2018, when we urged consumers to use oil in moderation and since then we have continued with our campaign under the overall brand position of Zara Sa Badlaav Banaye Life Behtar. The last year saw a reshuffling of household responsibilities and almost everyone embraced two important things – family relationships and health. Through #RishtonKiSehat, we aim to promote healthy living and further strengthen the bond of relations within the family by changing the eating habits as well as by breaking the societal stereotypes and bring a change for a longer and larger health benefits.” “A bit of change helps in making our lives better; be it a small change in eating habits to encourage healthy living or a change of roles in a household to have a sustainable life,” Agrawal added.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Elon Musk completed his $44 billion purchase of Twitter on Thursday.</li><li>Hateful imagery and slurs soon popped up on the site in celebration of the acquisition.</li></ul>The Elon Musk era of Twitter isn't off to a strong start.Musk finally completed his $44 billion purchase of the social-media platform on Thursday. It didn't take long for Musk to sack top executives. It also didn't take long for speculation to begin about possible layoffs at the company — and for far-right trolls to celebrate with racist tweets.The world's richest man and Tesla CEO <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1585966869122457600">tweeted</a> "let the good times roll" on Friday, his first full day as Twitter owner. It's unclear when said good times would begin rolling.<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/10/28/musk-twitter-racist-posts/">The Washington Post</a> reported that hateful images and racial slurs quickly emerged after the Musk-Twitter deal closed.One tweet the Post observed said "I hear that there have been some changes around here" with a video depicting Nazi imagery. Insider was able to find the tweet and confirm it was still live on Twitter late Friday afternoon.And the Network Contagion Research Institute observed that <a href="https://twitter.com/ncri_io/status/1586007698910646272">use of the N-word on Twitter had surged 500%</a> compared to the previous average after Musk bought the company.It seems Musk invited tweets like this by defining himself as a "free-speech" proponent, who frequently criticized content moderation. Ring-wing personalities like Dinesh D'Souza were even <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/twitter-trump-fake-statement-dupes-russia-maga-pundits-elon-musk-2022-10">duped by a fake statement</a> from Donald Trump that his Twitter account had been reinstated, prompting brief jubilation. Other right-wing politicians and pundits <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-will-be-digging-into-shadowbans-twitter-first-day-2022-10">have called on Musk to lift other bans.</a>Musk is now caught between a volatile conservative base hailing him as a savior, and the needs of an actual business where content moderation is <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/advertisers-plan-to-boycott-twitter-elon-musk-reinstates-trump-wsj-2022-10">key to attracting advertisers</a>. And he put himself there.Sure, there's always the chance that Musk could leave Twitter the same; the one announcement he made on Friday was that Twitter would form a content-moderation council. But it also seems like a bland half measure with a vague goal right now.Things aren't much better inside the halls of Twitter.Musk immediately fired several top executives at the company, including CEO Parag Agrawal (although <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/twitter-ceo-executives-get-big-payday-after-elon-musk-takeover-2022-10">they'll get a substantial payday</a> for being canned). The oustings, and Musk's overall takeover, prompted <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/twitter-ceo-executives-get-big-payday-after-elon-musk-takeover-2022-10">some Twitter employees to fear for their jobs</a>. One engineer tweeted on Thursday, "I am fully expecting him to fire 69% of us on Friday at 4:20pm."By Friday, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-first-day-as-leader-twitter-begins-with-layoffs-2022-10">speculation was swirling inside Twitter</a> about broad layoffs. Staff still hadn't been given any direction on Musk's acquisition by early afternoon.Confusion was further heightened by photos and reports online of engineers leaving Twitter offices with boxes. It <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-first-day-as-leader-twitter-begins-with-layoffs-2022-10">prompted debates</a> among staff about whether it was a hoax or not, Insider's Kali Hays reported.<a href="https://www.theverge.com/2022/10/28/23428775/twitter-fake-employee-layoff-rahul-ligma-elon-musk?tm_campaign=qp&amp;itm_medium=internal&amp;itm_source=quickpost">The Verge</a> later reported on Friday that it was likely a hoax; one person claiming to be a laid-off Twitter staffer said his name was "Rahul Ligma," which The Verge confirmed is not a name employed with Twitter (and "Ligma" is an internet meme).Needless to say, the first day of Twitter's Musk rule was chaotic. Musk didn't rein in far-right response, nor were fears of mass layoffs tempered within the company. Musk has said he views Twitter as a "digital town square" but insisted to advertisers in a letter this week that it <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-tells-advertisers-twitter-will-have-free-speech-limits-2022-10">wouldn't become a "free-for-all hellscape."</a> But his first day did little to ease concerns, both outside and in.

Elon Musk tweeted 'let the good times roll' after buying Twitter. His first day instead saw heads roll, emboldened trolls, and inspired hoaxes.

It wasn’t a long time ago that IndiaMart’s shares were valued at ₹1,846 (March 27, 2020), right after India stepped into the pandemic-induced lockdown. Along with these restrictions came massive supply chain disruption that left Indian industry — from manufacturing to healthcare — in a void. IndiaMart has been gaining from it since then. A business model that allows buyers and sellers to interact and cash in on their product needs — without physical contact — has allowed IndiaMart to garner the interest of more customers and get confidence of retail investors amidst the pandemic. IndiaMart currently competes with Tencent-backed <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/indian-b2b-e-commerce-startup-udaan-raises-280-million-valuation-jumps-to-over-3-billion/articleshow/80132753.cms">Udaan</a> (valued at $3 billion) and publicly listed company Just Dial (market cap of $845 million), which was recently <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/mukesh-ambanis-reliance-retail-to-buy-majority-stake-in-justdial-vss-mani-to-continue-as-md-and-ceo/articleshow/84477000.cms">acquired </a>by Reliance Industries. IndiaMart’s share prices were above ₹8,900 as of September 8, 2021. The company’s share prices have increased 24% in the last month, from ₹7,236 on August 9.

Structural changes have happened in terms of supply and demand, and how these needs are met, he added. As COVID-19 has forced micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) into the digital arena, all companies that enable such transformation have benefited from it. In general, any newage business — like Affle India or Route Mobile — that lays more stress on digital or digitisation have benefited in the last one year, Roy added. Deven R Choksey, managing director of KR Choksey Investment Managers, noted, “everyone wants to make investments in these kinds of businesses when they are not losing money. In a business-to-customer (B2C) model ecommerce platform loses money.” <div type="image" title="Indiamart share price has gone up nearly five times in last 18 months and the record profit is only a part of what’s driving it" msid="86058074" hostid="261"></div> Founded in 1996, by Dinesh Agarwal and Brijesh Agrawal, IndiaMart currently enables business and discovery for MSMEs.

Therefore, it’s too early to comment on competition at the moment. He also noted that the new age digital businesses have the potential to be valued much higher than the traditional information technology (IT) business that enjoys supremacy today.

The digital film artfully highlights the fact that today’s adults, specially under the age of 40 years, are vulnerable to cardiovascular diseases owing to the varied inconsistencies settling in modern day lifestyles. The digital film by Dhara edible oils takes the leap from its latest brand proposition of ‘Zara Sa Badlaav’, with the essence of bringing a healthy positive change in one’s daily routine. The film subtly points out the urgent need for physical exercise, reduced stress and enhancing the intake of oryzanol in daily diet as key to heart health. The film also shares an alarming message that 25% of heart attacks in Indian men occur under 40*, which needs more awareness amongst masses. Dhara’s digital film features famed actor <keyword id="201000" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="shishir-sharma" source="Orion">Shishir Sharma</keyword>, who was also featured in Dhara’s popular ‘Jalebi ad’. <div type="Youtube" id="pHGWN_yzqec" title="Dil Ka Khayal With Dhara" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pHGWN_yzqec/mqdefault.jpg"></div> Elaborating on the initiative, Dinesh Agrawal, Business Head – Dhara, Mother Dairy Fruit &amp; Vegetable Pvt. Ltd. said, “The modern-day course of life has inflicted various inconsistencies in our lifestyle and the events of the past two years have unfortunately compounded it. Brand Dhara has always endeavoured and supported healthy lifestyle practices such as usage of oil in moderation and adopting routine of physical exercise. Through this film, we aim to spread awareness amongst our current and future nation-builders to have a healthy lifestyle with due attention to heart health. We are really glad to associate with an artist who made the brand popular in its initial days and together, we hope that our message will reach out to the desired audience, inspiring them to be more active to lead a healthy lifestyle.” The film opens with a frame featuring an active and fit senior citizen father (Shishir Sharma) landing at his regular heart clinic with his son. Usually, he has been visiting the clinic all alone for over 20 years and is well versed with the flow around. While the son who has accompanied his father for the first time, tries to lend a helping hand to his father for either getting down from the vehicle or to even use a wheelchair for movement, the father mentions that he has been visiting the clinic for years and is well aware of the routine including the Doctor’s regular advice. The frame then features the duo sitting outside the Doctor’s room, and then there is call from the nurse for Mr. Shastri. Both father and son look at each other and his father gestures the younger Mr. Shastri to go inside. And in a surprise to viewers, this time his 32-year-old son undergoes a consultation. The frame then lays out a super mentioning “25% of heart attacks in Indian men occur under 40*”, while the voice over stresses on having a healthy heart and advise viewers to make a shift in routine by doing exercise, reducing stress and further increasing the intake of oryzanol in their diets. The film towards the end also showcases Dhara Refined Ricebran Oil, which has gamma oryzanol, a natural antioxidant that improves HDL/LDL ratio &amp; lowers bad cholesterol &amp; supports heart health. Commenting on the digital video, Vineet Kindra, Sr. Vice President &amp; Business Partner, DDB Mudra North said, “Contrary to general perception, people under 40 are extremely vulnerable to heart diseases. We felt that World Heart Day is the right occasion for the brand to ask people to carry out small changes in their lifestyle and oil usage for better heart health. With “Zara Sa Badlaav” people can work towards a healthy heart.”

Burari delhi assembly election candidate names

New Delhi, Feb 1 () BJP-ruled states hailed the Union Budget as focussed on boosting development, creating jobs and taking every section of the society along, but those governed by the opposition parties expressed disappointment saying it lacked vision to revive the economy.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar and their counterparts from Karnataka and Goa - B S Yediyurappa and Pramod Sawant - said the budget will help generate jobs, boost rural economy and create infrastructure for growth. They thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman for the budget.
 Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal termed the budget "pro-people" since it was structured on the overall theme of 'Ease of Living'.
"I congratulate Finance Minister Smt. @nsitharaman ji for a common man centric budget, and for taking ahead Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji's vision for a robust and vibrant India," Sawant added in a tweet.
But West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and their Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh counterparts - Uddhav Thackeray and Kamal Nath - were not impressed by the budgetary proposals.
Banerjee slammed the central government's proposal to sell a part of its shares in LIC, describing it as a plan to "ambush" the legacy of public institutions. Thackeray and Kejriwal alleged the budget gives "step-motherly" treatment to Maharashtra and Delhi.
Nath termed the budget "disappointing" and a "labyrinth of data", saying it lacked a plan to deal with the economic slowdown and the inflation.
"When Delhi doesn't figure in the BJP's priorities, why should people vote for it?" he said on Twitter in Hindi. "Delhi had high expectations from the Budget, but step-motherly treatment has been meted out to it again," Kejriwal said.
His deputy and Delhi Finance Minister Manish Sisodia too criticised the budget as the "biggest injustice" to the people of the national capital.
At a press conference, he pointed out that the Centre has allotted Rs 325 crore to the Delhi government as central taxes share, which is the same since 2001. He alleged Delhiites give Rs 1.5 lakh crore as taxes to the Centre annually, but it doesn't give anything to the Delhi government.
Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh said economy was not a priority for the government, trashing the budget as "high on pomposity and low on tangibles". He said the BJP-led Central government, which was too busy pursuing its "negative and divisive agenda".
Singh particularly highlighted that the "16-point action plan for agriculture" makes no mention of any initiatives or schemes to encourage crop diversification, and a failure to diversify would further aggravate the problems for the country on the agriculture front.
Terming the budget "a jugglery of words", Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot said there was no focus on providing relief to people or industries. "Budget speech lacked any substance to solve present economic crisis. It was simply jugglery of words without any focus on providing relief to common people or to industries," Gehlot tweeted.
The Rajasthan BJP countered Gehlot's charge, saying the budget was "balanced and inclusive" and Finance Minister Sitharaman appropriately focussed on all sections.
"Changes in income-tax slab is a big relief to middle class. Every section has been focused. Budget provisions for the welfare of all sections and sectors including education, health, infrastructure development, tribals, senior citizens have been made," BJP state president Satish Poonia said.
Industry bodies in Rajasthan gave a mixed reaction to the budget.
Federation of Rajasthan Trade and Industry chairman Suresh Agrawal said looking at the present economic situation, businesses and industries had big expectations from the budget.
"The budget should have been more focused on business and industries. Exporters, textile and automobile industries will be benefitted with the budget but MSME sector's expectations were not met," he said.
Confederation of Indian Industry's Rajasthan chairman Anand Mishra said the budget has covered many items. "There is a good outlay of Rs 2,500 crore in tourism which we are sure that Rajasthan will be able to take benefit. The removal of dividend tax would lead to investment in stock market."
Haryana CM Khattar too highlighted the budgetary provisions made for the tourism sector, thanking Sitharaman for announcing that Rakhigarhi, an Indus Valley Civilisation site, will be developed as "iconic sites" with on-site museums.
He said this move will give Rakhigarhi international recognition and boost tourism revenue for Haryana.
"This Budget will also prove to be a milestone in terms of developing the basic infrastructure of the country, farmers' growth, jobs for youth and betterment of health facilities in the country,"
Adityanath said, adding the budget protects the interests of each section of the society.
His deputy Dinesh Sharma said the Union Budget will fulfil the dream of "New India".
"It will also lay the foundation of a USD 5-trillion economy. The New Educational Policy will bring a revolution in the education sector. Study in India programme will publicise India's higher education."
Yediyurappa said the emphasis on rural India in the budget will benefit farmers in a big way.
"This budget is a boon for farmers. It's a clear reflection of the Prime Minister's desire to double farmers' income by 2022. The 'Jal Jivan' scheme extended to 100 water-stressed districts will benefit farmers in a big way," he added.
Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said the budget would not help strengthen the economy or ensure social security, but it will increase inflation and unemployment. He also said that "legitimate needs" of the southern state were completely ignored in the budget. TEAM ABH
