Who is going to hire the not-so-minimum guy? Tune in to Amazon Prime Video on the 4th of June to find out!”

Amazon Prime's Srikant Tiwari from The Family Man goes job hunting; Dunzo, OYO, Xiaomi, Nearbuy roll out job offers

New Delhi, Feb 24 () GAIL India Ltd, the country's largest gas utility, will invest Rs 1.05 lakh crore over the next five years to expand pipelines, lay city gas distribution network and raise petrochemical production capacity, its new chairman and managing director Manoj Jain said on Monday.Gas pipelines are planned to take the fuel to the east and northeast regions as well as to consumers in the south as part of the government push to raise the share of natural gas in India's energy basket to 15 per cent by 2030 from the current 6.2 per cent, he said."We have planned a capex of Rs 45,000 to Rs 50,000 crore in laying pipelines, Rs 10,000 crore petrochemical capacity expansion and another Rs 40,000 crore for city gas distribution (CGD) business," he told reporters here.GAIL's push for infrastructure creation is in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of creating a gas-based economy that is less reliant on polluting fuels for meeting its energy needs.India currently consumes some 160 million standard cubic meters of gas per day and the consumption has to rise to 600 mmscmd to reach 15 per cent share in the energy mix, and GAIL is laying the infrastructure to help achieve that.At present, GAIL operates 12,160-km of pipeline network and markets two-thirds of all-natural gas sold in the country. It will add about 7,000 km of pipeline length in the next five years, Jain said.The company is scaling up on liquefied natural gas (LNG) import capacity. Besides owning a part of Petronet LNG Ltd, India's biggest liquid gas importer, it also owns and operates a 5 million tonnes LNG import facility at Dabhol in Maharashtra."We have awarded the contract for construction of a breakwater at Dabhol to L&amp;T and this should get completed in two-and-half-years. The completion will help operate the Dabhol terminal at its full capacity of 5 million tonnes per annum," he said.Currently, operations are restricted during monsoon months as high tide could damage ships carrying gas in its liquid form.Also, the company has booked capacity at Adani Group's upcoming terminal at Dhamra in Odisha, Jain noted.Domestic gas production meets just half of the country's demand and the rest has to be imported.Pipeline projects at hand include the ambitious Urja Ganga Project to take gas to Bihar, West Bengal, Odisha, and Jharkhand as well as Kochi-Kootanad-Bangalore-Mangalore line; and Indradhanush North East Gas Grid.Besides pipelines, GAIL is also expanding city gas distribution (CGD) networks for retailing of CNG to automobiles and piped natural gas to household kitchens, he said, adding investments are also planned for the expansion of Pata petrochemical plant in Uttar Pradesh as well as converting a LPG recovery unit at Usar in Maharashtra into 5,00,000 tonnes Polypropylene plant.GAIL is looking to put up 400 CNG stations and give out a record 10 lakh piped natural gas (PNG) connections to household kitchens in the next 3-5 years.The company is building a 2,655-km gas pipeline from Jagdishpur in Uttar Pradesh to Haldia in West Bengal, Bokaro in Jharkhand and Dhamra in Odisha. Jagdishpur-Haldia &amp; Bokaro-Dhamra Natural Gas Pipeline (JHBDPL) project, also known as the 'Pradhan Mantri Urja Ganga' project, was inaugurated by the Prime Minister in July 2015.GAIL has commenced city gas operations in all the six geographical areas (GAs), including in Patna and Bhubaneshwar, that was awarded to it along the Urja Ganga route, Jain said.The pipeline will be extended to Guwahati by laying an additional 750-km line. At Guwahati, it would interconnect with the upcoming 1,500-km 'Indradhanush' pipeline network conceived to operate in the northeast region by the public sector oil and gas majors.GAIL will also lay a 600 km Srikakulam-Angul natural gas pipeline.

The deli, which has been thinly traded on the over the counter exchange since 2015, is partially owned by Hong Kong-based Maso Capital. Through Maso, the multibillion dollar endowments of Vanderbilt and Duke University have invested a total of about $2 million into Hometown International, according to the report. Hometown told investors that it plans to use its remaining cash to fund a business acquisition."We will not restrict our potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location," it said. That's SPAC-talk for "we are shopping for any potential deal with our cash." At the end of the day, Hometown International is a shell company that hopes to execute a reverse merger with a larger, more successful private company, but also happens to operate an actual deli in the meantime.

Most SPAC vehicles only give the managers two years to locate and execute a deal, or else they are required to return investors money. A corporate shell that is seeking a reverse merger has no such time requirement. "It works like a mini-SPAC. When you execute the merger, the name changes, the ticker changes, the board changes, the management changes, everything changes, as the merged entity enters the US capital market," Jain explained. But executing a merger deal might be harder for Hometown International, due to the increased media attention and the <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/hometown-international-100-million-new-jersey-deli-delisted-david-einhorn-2021-4-1030333722">OTC's decision to delist the stock last week.</a> Still, <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/hometown-international-stock-price-volume-surge-100-million-deli-einhorn-2021-4-1030319385">that hasn't hurt shares of the deli,</a> which traded near record highs at $12.55 as of Friday afternoon.

India's top gas company <keyword id="6358765" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="GAIL" source="Orion">GAIL</keyword> will foray into hydrogen generation and take the acquisition route to scale up its <keyword id="34553" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="renewable-energy" source="Orion">renewable energy</keyword> portfolio as it pivots business beyond natural gas to align with energy transition being witnessed across the globe. As part of a push to embrace cleaner forms of energy, GAIL will be laying pipeline infrastructure to connect consumption centres to gas sources while also augmenting its renewable energy portfolio, GAIL Chairman and Managing Director <keyword id="6516738" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Manoj-Jain" source="Orion">Manoj Jain</keyword> said. "The global energy sector is witnessing a paradigm shift in recent years as the world is transitioning to a sustainable energy future," he said in the company's latest annual report. To accomplish a cleaner primary energy mix for India, the government is emphasizing the expansion of the natural gas sector so as to achieve a gas-based economy along with growth in renewables. GAIL as a leading integrated energy major has aligned with this vision, he said. The firm is laying around 6,000-kilometres of pipeline, including a west coast to east coast pipeline from Mumbai to Jharsuduga in Odisha via Nagpur, he said. It currently has around 13,700-km of natural gas pipeline network. GAIL "will be selectively investing in the renewable energy domain given the future growth potential," he said. The company "has been scouting for opportunities to scale up the RE portfolio from the current 130 MW through bidding and other inorganic routes such as mergers and acquisitions." "In addition, the company is also foraying into ethanol and hydrogen generation," he said without giving details. Hydrogen is a clean fuel that, when consumed in a fuel cell, produces only water. Many countries are venturing into hydrogen production from a variety of domestic resources, such as natural gas, nuclear power, biomass, and renewable power like solar and wind. In India, companies ranging from Reliance Industries to <keyword id="6356834" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-Oil-Corporation" source="Orion">Indian Oil Corporation</keyword> and <keyword id="45179" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="NTPC" source="Orion">NTPC</keyword> have announced ambitious plans for generating hydrogen. GAIL too joins that list now. GAIL, Jain said, has the largest and most diverse LNG portfolio in India that can offer both stable prices and reliable supply to consumers. The company "shall be pushing for higher gas usage in the industrial segment, transport segment using CNG and LNG, Trigeneration, cold storage, etc," he said, adding the firm was looking for avenues to supply gas in the new segments like LNG trucking (LNG for long-haul transportation). He said GAIL is also looking to expand its presence in petrochemicals and also diversifying into high-margin downstream businesses. "The focus is on having polypropylene (PP) production capacity through setting up two polypropylene units (Propane Dehydrogenation Polypropylene Plant - PDHPP in Usar, Maharashtra and PP plant at Pata, Uttar Pradesh) and assessing opportunities in certain speciality chemicals in India," he said. GAIL presently has a 1.6 million tonnes per annum polyethylene and PP production capacity. It is also setting up at least two compressed biogas plants and an ethanol factory. India, which imports 85 per cent of its crude oil needs, is stepping up efforts to explore new forms of energy to clean up the skies and reduce dependence on imported fuels. "We have 120 MW of renewable energy capacity which we want to scale up to 1GW in next 3-4 years," Jain had told PTI last month. GAIL will bid for a 400 MW solar power capacity being auctioned by SECI (formerly <keyword id="1937268" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Solar-Energy-Corporation-of-India" source="Orion">Solar Energy Corporation of India</keyword>) in Rewa, Madhya Pradesh. The company had in 2019 won a bid for 874 MW operational wind power projects of IL&amp;FS for Rs 4,800 crore. But IL&amp;FS' other partners used the first right of refusal to block GAIL's bid, he had said. GAIL has signed up with state-run power gear maker BHEL for its renewable energy foray. The tie-up looks to leverage the competitive strengths of both companies. GAIL will be the project developer and BHEL will be a project manager and EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) contractor. The move by GAIL, which commands a 75 per cent market share in gas transmission and more than 50 per cent share in gas trading in India, is seen as part of the government's vision to prepare for the energy transition process, under which the share of gas in the energy mix is sought to be raised to 15 per cent by 2030, from the current 6.2 per cent.

<ul><li>Duff &amp; Phelps’ latest report reveals that Virat Kohli continues to be the most preferred celebrity as his brand value rose by 39% to $237.5 million in 2019. Akshay Kumar jumps to second position with a brand value of $104.5 million. </li><li>The report titled ‘New is Gold’ brings forth how the advent of digital media and OTT platforms have paved a way for new faces and relaunched old faces such as Emraan Khan, Saif Ali Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. </li><li>It further discusses how regional industries created ripples nationally and globally with OTT proving regional content is no longer a desired state, but a prerequisite for today’s consumer. </li></ul>Duff &amp; Phelps, the global advisor, released key findings from the fifth edition of its Celebrity Brand Valuation Study 2019: New is Gold. The study provides a ranking of India’s most powerful celebrity brands based on brand values derived from their endorsement contracts. “This year we saw the new generation celebrities make it to the top 20. Apart from the celebrities who were featured in last year’s study, this year, we have Ayushmann Khurrana (rank 10), Tiger Shroff (rank 17) and Rohit Sharma (rank 20) with a cumulative brand value of USD 87.5 million,” said Aviral Jain, Managing Director, Duff &amp; Phelps. “The industry saw a wave of new faces and concepts with the effective usage of digital media to capitalize on millennials and Gen Z. Even though brands changed their approach of sticking to established actors by roping in new faces, overall the industry managed to stay on course with the perfect blend of traditional and new. The new pedigree of stars also ventured into investments by emerging as ‘starvestors’ (star investors), thus infusing capital in brands that resonated with their values,” Jain added. Commenting on the changing nature of the endorsement market in India, Varun Gupta, Managing Director and Asia Pacific Leader for Valuation Services, Duff &amp; Phelps said, “This is the dawn of a new era for the media and entertainment sector. The industry has seen experimentation, be it celebrities moving from traditional mainstream endorsements towards investments in brands, the rise of digital format advertising campaigns, or the onset of over-the-top (OTT) stars who are breaking new ground in endorsements. Brands and celebrities have parallelly adopted the path of conscious advertising and filmmaking by choosing uplifting topics and making the narrative less window dressed, an important facet for today’s Gen Y and Gen Z.” Old is Gold to New is Gold Study shows how with a fresh coterie of millennial and Gen Z celebrities bagging major banner films and endorsements, it’s clearly time to change the ‘Old is Gold’ adage to ‘New is Gold.’ In the age of social media, Millennial and Gen Z actors have an inherent advantage and are considered to have a relatively higher social media quotient. Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, a leading global makeup brand, hired Tara Sutaria as its first Indian celebrity brand ambassador. Reliance Retail and Reliance Trends also signed on national award winner Vicky Kaushal along with the upcoming Janhvi Kapoor as their brand ambassadors having an extensive youth following. The study also suggests that Kriti Sanon, Disha Patani, and Tiger Shroff are the upcoming big celebrities in the advertising and marketing realm. OTT: A Place For Old and New Actors OTT players have helped many stars relaunch themselves. Actors like Bhumi Pednekar, Manoj Bajpayee, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Saif Ali Khan and Vicky Kaushal have given some noteworthy performances on the digital platform. The growing popularity of the digital platform can be gauged from the fact that not only actors, but also notable directors like Anurag Kashyap, Karan Johar and Zoya Akhtar, are creating content frequently, exclusively for GenOTT. Celebrity Endorsements: Top Brand Categories According to a 2019 report on celebrity endorsements issued by TAM Media Research, more than 50% of the ads endorsed by celebrities were dominated by three sectors: Personal Care/ Personal Hygiene, Food and Beverages (F&amp;B), and Haircare, as shown in the following chart. Further, the study focuses on the rising trend of OTT since the upgrade of India's digital demography. Regional industries created ripples nationally and globally with OTT proving regional content is no longer a desired state, but a prerequisite for today’s consumer. Other Key findings from the report: <ul><li>Virat Kohli retains the top position for the third consecutive year. His brand value rose by 39% to USD 237.5 million (mn) in 2019. </li><li>Akshay Kumar jumps to second position with brand value of USD 104.5 mn (a jump of 55.3%). </li><li>The dynamic power couple, Ranveer and Deepika, claim the third spot with a brand value of USD 93.5 mn each. Deepika retains her most valuable female celebrity status for the second consecutive year whereas Ranveer moves up a spot, to now occupy the same position as Deepika Padukone. </li><li>Total value of the top 20 celebrity brands stands at USD 1.1 billion, with the top 10 contributing about 75% of the total value. </li></ul>
