From the time Sir Dorabji <keyword id="19904884" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="tata" source="keywords">Tata</keyword> sponsored a handful of Indian athletes to the 1920 Antwerp Olympics, Tata group has been a constant in India's sporting landscape and the conglomerate's involvement only grew under <keyword id="19981455" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="ratan-tata" source="keywords">Ratan Tata</keyword>, who considered sport a "way of life". The chairman emeritus of Tata Sons died here at the age of 86 on Wednesday after being admitted to a hospital on Monday for "age and related medical conditions". His death triggered an avalanche of tributes from eminent personalities from all walks of life and sports was no different. From being the title sponsor of the glitzy Indian Premier League of cricket to supporting lesser-followed sports like archery to owning a football team in the Indian Super League to sponsoring a high-profile chess tournament, the Tata group has been deeply involved with the country's sporting ecosystem. Most of this involvement grew during Ratan Tata's tenure. "He always believed in 'sports is the way of life' and we are happy to carry forward the legacy. We have been the torchbearer of sports with 19 sporting verticals from football, hockey, archery to horse riding, boxing, karate, racket sports. You name it, we have it," an official involved with the JRD Tata Sports Academy, which was inaugurated in 1991 in Jamshedpur, told PTI. The growth in Tata Group's sporting involvement under Ratan Tata was the continuation of a legacy. After all, Sir Dorabji Tata, who played cricket, tennis and football, was the first President of the Indian Olympic Association (1924). This was after he had financed the Olympic appearance of four track-and-field athletes and two wrestlers at the Antwerp Games, helping organise their trials in Pune as well. Tata Steel Chess, which is also called the 'Wimbledon of chess', is a marquee event on global chess calendar, held at <keyword id="20385206" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="wijk-aan-zee" source="keywords">Wijk Aan Zee</keyword>, the Netherlands. It wasn't always known that. It was Corus Chess Tournament for the longest time before Tata Steel took over the title sponsor company, thereby claiming the rights of this event from 2007 onwards. Five-time world champion and Indian chess legend <keyword id="20221790" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="viswanathan-anand" source="keywords">Viswanathan Anand</keyword> was among the first sports icons to pay tributes to the late industrialist, saying that he "touched all our lives". "It is with profound sadness that we bid farewell to a giant of industry and philanthropy. We received our Padma Vibhushan together, and I was truly touched by his humility and genteel nature," Anand wrote on X. "The chess fraternity owes much to the traditions that are so closely associated with the Tata Group. @tatasteelchess in Holland is an event that made us chess players particularly proud, especially when the Tatas took over Corus, and later starting a new tradition with @tschessindia," he added. "The chess world and I offer our deepest condolences to @RNTata2000, a human being who touched all our lives and always stood for the good of society. Rest in peace," Anand continued. Tata Foootball Academy started back in 1987 under <keyword id="23494114" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="russi-mody" source="keywords">Russi Mody</keyword>, the then chairman of Tata Steel, who had the backing of Ratan Tata for the project. The academy has been supplying national level footballers since early '90s with its some of its noted alumni being current All India Football Federation head and former goalkeeper Kalyan Chaubey, Rennedy Singh, Dipendu Biswas and Kiran Khongsai. "TFA has played a pioneering role in Indian football by focusing on nurturing young talent and contributing significantly to the development of football in the country," the official associated with JRD sports complex said. "He (Ratan Tata) was there at the launch of Jamshedpur FC in the ISL in 2017. he interacted with the players and coaches, took photos with them. They also presented him with a signed jersey. He was very happy to see the team coming up and playing in the top tier ISL," he recalled. The enigmatic businessman was there to launch the hockey academy in Jamshedpur in 2019. "...perhaps for the last time he was here," the official said. Hockey India said Ratan Tata will be remembered as a "shining gem". "Your vision and endless contribution to our nation will never be forgotten. Your legacy will forever live with us till eternity. Hockey India pays tribute to one of Modern India's Pioneers - Ratan Naval Tata," it added. The legendary <keyword id="19919207" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="sachin-tendulkar" source="keywords">Sachin Tendulkar</keyword> said Ratan Tata's legacy will continue through his foundations. "In his life, and demise, Mr Ratan Tata has moved the nation. I was fortunate to spend time with him, but millions, who have never met him, feel the same grief that I feel today. Such is his impact," <keyword id="20012835" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="tendulkar" source="keywords">Tendulkar</keyword> wrote. The Tata Archery Academy in Jamshedpur has been the training ground for ace Indian archers Deepika Kumari and Atanu Das for several years. Given Tata Group's involvement in India's Olympic movement, it was hardly a surprise to see an outpouring of tributes from some of country's top athletes. "I'm very sorry to hear about the passing of Shri Ratan Tata ji. He was a visionary, and I'll never forget the conversation I had with him. He inspired this entire nation. I pray that his loved ones find strength. Om Shanti," posted India's track-and-field Olympic gold-winner, Neeraj Chopra. India's first-ever Olympics medal winner in badminton, <keyword id="20204318" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="saina-nehwal" source="keywords">Saina Nehwal</keyword> described him as a great man. "Ratan Tata sir aapki legacy hamesha humare saath rahegi. RIP (sic). (A great man and true visionary. Tata sir your legacy will always remain with us," she said. One of India's greatest spin bowlers and former captain Anil Kumble said, "Mr. Ratan Tata's contribution extends far beyond business. His legacy of giving back to society will continue to inspire future generations. Rest in peace." "An institution who embodied Excellence, Vision and Humility. A Philanthropist par excellence. A massive loss to society. Condolences to the entire Tata family. God bless his soul #RatanTata," wrote former India player and coach <keyword id="19958622" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ravi-shastri" source="keywords">Ravi Shastri</keyword>.

The Tata effect on Indian sports: Ratan Tata's demise mourned by India stalwarts

Megastar <keyword id="6357912" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Amitabh-Bachchan" source="Orion">Amitabh Bachchan</keyword> has refuted the recent reports claiming his hospitalisation and angioplasty, labeling them as 'fake'. On March 15, it was reported that <keyword id="2217" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Big-B" source="Orion">Big B</keyword> had been admitted to Kokilaben Hospital, in Andheri, <keyword id="19895282" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="mumbai" source="keywords">Mumbai</keyword>, for an angioplasty. "He underwent an angioplasty, but there is still no confirmation regarding his health update," the sources had said. However, a new video that is doing rounds on the social media, shows the 'Don' actor smiling and greeting the paparazzi, while he attended the final match of Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) between Majhi Mumbai and Tigers of Kolkata, in Mumbai. Amitabh is wearing a white hoodie, and black trousers, and came to support his team 'Majhi Mumbai'. The visuals show the 81-year-old actor talking to the paps, saying, "I am all fit... fake news." Earlier, in an Instagram post, Amitabh shared a happy picture with his son <keyword id="19901648" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="abhishek-bachchan" source="keywords">Abhishek Bachchan</keyword> and cricketer <keyword id="19919207" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="sachin-tendulkar" source="keywords">Sachin Tendulkar</keyword>.

Veteran actress Ila Arun commented: "Wow, you are full of life long live Amit ji." Meanwhile, on the work front, he next has 'Kalki 2898 AD', 'Butterfly', and 'Vettaiyan'.

Fake news: Big B rubbishes reports on him undergoing angioplasty

The Mumbai police have registered a case against a gaming site and a Facebook page after <keyword id="19919207" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="sachin-tendulkar" source="keywords">Sachin Tendulkar</keyword> raised concerns over a deepfake video that falsely showed that the cricketing legend was promoting its gaming app, an official said on Thursday. An <keyword id="6358015" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="FIR" source="Orion">FIR</keyword> has been registered under section 500 (defamation) of the Indian Penal Code (<keyword id="19900921" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ipc" source="keywords">IPC</keyword>) and Section 66 (A) (sending offensive messages through communication service) of the IT Act on a complaint filed by the former cricketer's personal assistant at the West Region Cyber police station on Tuesday, the official said. Earlier, a deepfake video, carrying a digitally manipulated clip and voice of <keyword id="20012835" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="tendulkar" source="keywords">Tendulkar</keyword>, was shared on Facebook in which it was falsely shown that the former ace batsman was promoting a gaming app. The deepfake also sought to create an impression that Tendulkar and his daughter Sara had won large sums of money by playing a certain online game. According to the complaint, the video was edited and posted on Facebook. It said deepfake technology was used to mimic Tendulkar's gesture and voice. At this stage, the police did not share details about the owner of the gaming site and the Facebook page. Tendulkar himself had flagged the fake video on his official X handle. He called the video a "disturbing" misuse of technology and stressed that it was fake. "These videos are fake. It is disturbing to see rampant misuse of technology. Request everyone to report videos, ads and apps like these in large numbers," Tendulkar had appealed on X. Social media platforms need to be alert and responsive to complaints, he said. "Swift action from their end is crucial to stopping the spread of misinformation and deepfakes," he had asserted.

Joint Commissioner of Police (Eastern Range), Chhayya Sharma said that the accused forged government IDs of 95 celebrities and eminent persons to dupe banks of over Rs 50 lakhs. "The loophole is in documentation and backend verification which needs to be upgraded. All accused have good IT knowledge," said the top officer. On interrogation, it was revealed that they used to get GST details of these celebrities from Google. "They were very well aware that the first two digits of GSTIN are state code and the next 10 digits are PAN numbers. Since the celebrities' date of birth is available on Google, these two - PAN and date of birth - complete the PAN details," said an official privy to investigation. "They got the PAN cards remade fraudulently by putting their own pictures on them so that during video verification, their looks match the photo available on their PAN/Aadhaar card. "The accused used to apply for credit cards and during video verification, they were asked questions related to their financial activities which they answered easily as they had got all such details from CIBIL," the official added.

Amid all this, the fake pictures and videos of celebrities, world leaders, politicians, major events, get circulated widely. So much so that sometimes people have to announce that the photos are fake.

	The start-up revolution is on our face now and there are innumerable names on the sea. Pramod, who built a Rs. 982 crore empire from Rs 4 crore seed capital tells us how big names like Sachin Tendulkar can help make your start-up one in a million.
 

	1. When there is a popular face representing your startup, your first step is complete. People will listen to you and you will be accepted. 
 

	2. A name which has been accepted with much love for years creates an impression that “We are there for long term”. This brings trust to the startup.
 

	3. After creating the trust, one needs to engage customers. What better way to do it than putting forward a popular name like Sachin Tendulkar.
 

	4. When they speak, everybody listens. That’s the value of brand ambassadors to the company. For start-ups it would definitely enhance the business vigorously. With this there will be more consumer access and hence funding will pour in too.
 

	5. But before bringing big names on board, one must keep in mind whether your company’s mission aligns with their vision or not. There must be a clear connect between the company and the face, else one will only end up being a fake public stunt.

‘Allegations left me stunned’: Flipkart’s Binny Bansal resigns denying claims of ‘personal misconduct’

By Gurdip Singh Singapore, May 5 () Singapore reported 632 new COVID-19 cases on Tuesday, mostly foreign workers living in packed dormitories, taking the total number of infections in the country to 19,410. The Health Ministry said of the new cases nine were Singapore citizens or permanent residents (foreigners). "We are still working through the details of the cases and further updates will be shared," the ministry said. The novel coronavirus has so far claimed 18 lives in the country. The Singapore government is ramping up testing capacity with a view to starting nationwide COVID-19 testing, National Development Minister Lawrence Wong told Parliament. Minister for Communications and Information S Iswaran on Tuesday addressed the concerns of the migrant workers living in dormitories, who have been subject to stringent restrictions and active testing. Speaking in Tamil for workers from India, Iswaran explained the need to test them and their co-workers. The Indian-origin Singapore minister said the government has "undertaken numerous efforts to enhance the quality of food and facilities" within the dormitories. The video was dubbed in Bengali and forwarded to Bangladeshi workers via WhatsApp. "If tested positive, we will provide (your friends) with the necessary medical care fully paid by the government. We will provide you with the necessary quality medical care as we do for Singaporeans. This is our promise," said Iswaran. As of Monday, more than 5 per cent, or 16,383, of the 323,000 migrant workers living in dormitories have tested positive for the virus, including a large number of Indians. Many workers remain quarantined in their rooms, while the stay-home notice period for work permit and S Pass holders in the construction sector has been extended by another two weeks to May 18. Iswaran said he had approached four Indian stars to have them send their wishes and encouragement to the workers. The celebrities include actor Rajinikanth and former cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. Composer A R Rahman and actor Kamal Haasan have already conveyed their good wishes. Haasan said: "When we look after ourselves, don't forget that it is also like we are looking after the government. The government is not a separate entity from us, we are all part of the same ecosystem." Rahman urged the workers, like their countrymen in India, to follow the government's announcements and practise safe distancing. "It is in your hands for you all to be careful and stay safe," said the Oscar winning musician. Minister Iswaran said the workers should visit official sources such as gov.sg for correct information and not worry themselves with fake news. He said services in the dorms have been enhanced to make sure workers can communicate with their families, get necessary information from the Internet, and watch their favourite films, reported The Straits Times on Tuesday. Over the weekend, the government announced that some of the tough restrictions put in place during Singapore's circuit breaker period will continue till June 1. They were to be eased on Monday. For the lifting of COVID-19 "circuit breaker" measures to reopen businesses locally, the daily number of local community cases should fall to zero or single digits over a sustained period of time as well as lower the infection levels in foreign worker dormitories, Health Minister Gan Kim Yong had told the Parliament earlier. Globally, over 250,000 people have died and over 3.5 million infected by the novel coronavirus that first originated in December last year in Wuhan, China. GS INDIND

We saw the likes of <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Amitabh+Bachchan">Amitabh Bachchan</a>, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Sachin+Tendulkar">Sachin Tendulkar</a>, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Salman+Khan">Salman Khan</a> and who not, out with a broom in their hands and cleaning the roads, picking up garbage. We saw their photo-ops, read other celebs’ and social activists’ speeches and were somehow convinced that our country is going to change for the better. But, did it? 
 
Well, not to the extent we had expected, but things seem to be moving in the right direction in few areas. Read this, “<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Sanitation">Sanitation</a> facilities have improved in <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=rural+India">rural India</a>. About 95 lakh toilets were built across the country in less than a year.” Now, guess who actually drove this positive change in communities and helped villages achieve <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Open+Defecation">Open Defecation</a> Free status. 
 
No, these people were no heroes. Neither they have or have had any political aspirations. They were just ordinary people, who did extraordinary things to make <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Swachh+Bharat+Abhiyaan">Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan</a> a ‘roaring’ success. This article will introduce you to four of them: Sanjana, a transgender from Nandni; Mithilesh, a specially-abled kid, who can’t walk or speak, from Brahmanbheri; Madan Nath, whose main occupation is catching snakes or performing Kalbelia from Ganahera; and Rashida Ravani, a simple girl from Kesla.

Twitteratis came together to celebrate India’s women athletes like never before 
 
Aneesh told us – “The scale at which Indians came together to celebrate our women sporting heroes on Twitter has never been seen before. There were 2 million tweets around the performances of four women sportspersons - <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/PV-Sindhu-gets-India-Silver-medal-in-Badminton-at-Rio-Olympics-2016/articleshow/53774591.cms">PV Sindhu</a>, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Sakshi-Malik-gets-rousing-welcome-says-she-always-wanted-win-an-Olympic-medal-for-India/articleshow/53839167.cms">Sakshi Malik,</a> Deepa Karmakar and <keyword id="487" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sania-Mirza">Sania Mirza</keyword>. The count was more than the number of tweets for the India-Pakistan and India-Australia matches combined during the World T20. Also, there were 1.48 million tweets on <keyword id="501707" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="PV-Sindhu">PV Sindhu</keyword> throughout Olympics, and 5.76 lakh tweets around <keyword id="6356003" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sakshi-Malik">Sakshi Malik</keyword>.” 
 
While public figures tweeted about how these athletes were an inspiration for them, the platform saw even mothers sharing tweets promising to share success stories of the athletes with their young daughters. “It was heartwarming to see Twitter being used for outpouring of emotions. It became the common channel of communication connecting athletes and fans. That was the top trend for us that defined Twitter during these two weeks,” Aneesh said. 
 
Fans and Olympians conversed with each other directly throughout the Games 
 
Twitter saw a spike in conversations between fans and Olympians even before Olympics began. <a href="https://twitter.com/DipaKarmakar/status/765015937032466432">Athletes posted videos</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/SakshiMalik/status/766260947463774208">tweeted pictures</a> before and after victory to thank fans for continued support. “Whether it was hockey team tweeting photos from the Rio Olympic village or Deepa Karmakar and Sakshi Malik joining Twitter after their respective win, Twitter saw direct and intimate conversations among Olympians and fans throughout the Games,” Aneesh said. 
 
He added – “The audience of our top 10 most followed Indian Olympians on Twitter grew by almost 12 times since London Games in 2012. During Rio Olympics, PV Sindhu had her Twitter following grow by 7 times. Deepa and Sakshi who joined later already have over 60,000 followers in merely less than a week.” 
 Moreover, ministers like Sushma Swaraj, celebrities like <keyword id="6357912" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="amitabh-bachchan">Amitabh Bachchan</keyword> and sportspersons like Sachin Tendulkar became fans of our women players. They were all using Twitter to express their pleasure in seeing the girls perform well in the Games. 
 
“Twitter infact saw for the first time a cricket icon like <a href="https://twitter.com/sachin_rt">Sachin Tendulkar</a> even live-tweet <a href="https://twitter.com/sachin_rt/status/766644969616478213">the final match between Sindhu and Carolina Marin</a>,” Aneesh said. 
 
An Ecosystem emerged on Twitter, something no one knew of earlier 
 
There are organizations like Olympic Gold Quest, JSW Sports and Gosports who have been tirelessly working with Olympians, supporting their training and preparation for years quietly. For instance, Olympic Gold Quest has been supporting PV Sindhu since she was 14. 
 
“As soon as some of our women athletes clinched medals, there was a lot of conversation on Twitter around how these organizations have helped Olympic athletes become rather great performers. Athletes, fans and sports journalists came together to highlight the work these institutions have been doing and it really brought awareness around this ecosystem which will hopefully get stronger as people connect to these organizations in the times to come,” said Aneesh. 
 
Twitteratis engaged on the need for accountability from sports administrators 
 
During the first week when Indian players came close to medals, but couldn’t get them, Twitter engaged in conversations on how there is a need for better accountability from administrators, and the support Indian athletes need to excel at Olympics. 
 
Humour around Games united non-sports enthusiasts on Twitter 
 
Sporting events like Olympics are bringing people together like never before, and in a fun way. For instance, there were <a href="https://twitter.com/TheEllenShow/status/765303894159208448">iconic photographs of Usain Bolt</a> being circulated. It got people talking, even those who might not even care about sports or certain sports in Olympics. 
 
In a nutshell, Indian women players not only created history by making it to Rio Games, they united Indians to celebrate women players and different sports. They created history.
