Amul’s journey is rooted in the cooperative model pioneered by Dr. Verghese Kurien, often referred to as the "Milkman of India," whose vision turned India from a milk-deficient country into the world’s largest <keyword id="23447069" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="milk-producer" source="keywords">milk producer</keyword>.<br /><br />Mehta added, "If India could offer a gift to the world, it would be the cooperative working system-a gift Dr Kurien gave us.

The cooperative’s rise is tied to the country’s rural development and empowerment of farmers, making it a symbol of economic self-reliance. As Amul prepares to conquer new markets, it carries with it the legacy of Dr. Kurien, whose commitment to making a difference continues to inspire millions.<br /><br /><strong><em>(With PTI inputs)</em></strong><br />

It wouldn't be wrong to say that finding a job in today's times is much easier than finding one decades ago. In the age of job-search platforms like <keyword id="19951562" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="LinkedIn" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="LinkedIn" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="LinkedIn">LinkedIn</keyword> and <keyword id="20120149" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="naukri-com" source="keywords">Naukri.com</keyword>, connecting with potential recruiters is easier. But, if you aren't careful of your actions online, they can do more harm than good. Something similar happened with a college students who disrespected a woman on LinkedIn. Later on, he found out that the same woman was his <keyword id="23157708" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="job-interviewer" source="keywords">job interviewer</keyword>. The story has been shared online and is going viral. <br /><br /><strong><h2>What really happened</h2></strong><br />The story of this unexpected twist of fate was shared by <keyword id="23157709" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="pranav-mehta" source="keywords">Pranav Mehta</keyword>, a <keyword id="19945384" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="software-engineer" source="keywords">software engineer</keyword> and founder of A Code Daily, on the <keyword id="19897919" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="social-media" source="keywords">social media</keyword> platform X.<br /><br />Mehta, who previously worked at <keyword id="19895622" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Microsoft" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Microsoft" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Microsoft">Microsoft</keyword> and studied at IIT, shared the incident involving one of his female friends who works at a startup. According to Mehta's post, the student had approached his friend on LinkedIn a few weeks ago, asking for a referral for an SDE-1 (Software Development Engineer) position at her company. When she reviewed his resume, she felt it needed improvement and politely suggested that he work on it further before applying.<br /><br />However, instead of taking her feedback positively, the student reacted in an inappropriate manner. He began insulting the woman, dismissing her as a “diversity hire” and questioning her ability to advise him. <br /><br />"This guy started belittling and shaming her for being a "diversity hire", and that she wasn't capable of advising him," Mehta wrote. <br /><br />This unwarranted response not only displayed poor judgment but also a lack of respect for someone willing to help him improve his application.<br /><br /><h2>The twist of fate</h2>Despite this unpleasant interaction, the student eventually managed to secure a referral from another source and proceeded with the application process. But then something that he didn't see coming happened. When he sat down for his first round of <keyword id="20030377" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="interview" source="keywords">interview</keyword>, he found himself face-to-face with the very same woman he had insulted on LinkedIn. Mehta described how the student was visibly shaken when he realised the situation, saying, “Karma bites you back in ways you can't even fathom.”<br /><br />According to Mehta, his friend remained professional throughout the interview and did not let the past incident influence her assessment of his candidacy. However, the student’s initial bravado seemed to have vanished, replaced by nervousness as he faced the person he had earlier disrespected.<br /><br />This story is a stark reminder of the importance of maintaining professionalism and humility, especially in the age of social media. What you say online can have real-world consequences, and in the tight-knit tech industry, word travels fast.<br /><br /><div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="113242771" title="Our 2 sons moved to Europe for college.

Counted as it is among the world’s fastest growing economies, an unfathomable amount of money flows in and out of the Indian economic system. But there are cracks in said system, and ever so often, a fraudulent mastermind uses them to slip some cash out for their advantage.<br /><br />From <keyword id="19964851" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ponzi" source="keywords">Ponzi</keyword> schemes to bank frauds, the Indian government and investors have fallen victim to many financial scandals — some of which were so sordid that they can be recounted like they happened yesterday. Here’s a rundown of the most infamous scams in Indian financial history:<br /><h2><keyword id="20713434" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="harshad-mehta" source="keywords">Harshad Mehta</keyword> Scam (1992) – ₹4,000 Crore<br /></h2>Perhaps the most iconic of all Indian financial scams, Harshad Mehta was known as the "Big Bull" of the stock market. He manipulated stock prices using illegal loopholes in the banking system. By obtaining unsecured loans from banks and investing them in the stock market, Mehta artificially inflated stock prices. His bubble burst when banks demanded their money back, revealing the massive fraud. This scandal led to a major reform in India's financial markets.<br /><br />Mehta died in jail before full legal accountability was reached, but the scam caused a significant loss to investors and led to tighter regulation in the Indian stock market.<br /><h2><keyword id="23122396" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="satyam-scam" source="keywords">Satyam Scam</keyword> (2009) – ₹14,000 Crore<br /></h2>Dubbed as India’s Enron, the Satyam scandal involved its founder, <keyword id="23122397" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ramalinga-raju" source="keywords">Ramalinga Raju</keyword>, admitting to falsifying the company's accounts to the tune of ₹14,000 crore. Satyam Computer Services, once considered a blue-chip company, was found guilty of inflating profits and revenues. Raju admitted to the scam after a failed attempt to buy two Maytas firms owned by his family. This case brought corporate governance issues in India to the forefront.<br /><br />Raju was convicted, but the legal processes have allowed him temporary freedom through bail. But this incident called for improved transparency and stricter corporate governance norms.<br /><h2>Punjab National Bank Scam (2018) – ₹13,700 Crore<br /></h2>Diamond merchant Nirav Modi and his uncle Mehul Choksi orchestrated one of the largest frauds in Indian banking history by obtaining fraudulent Letters of Undertaking (LoUs) from Punjab National Bank (PNB). These LoUs allowed them to obtain loans from foreign branches of Indian banks without providing any collateral. The scam involved over ₹13,700 crore, and Modi fled the country, causing significant reputational damage to India’s banking sector.<br /><br />Nirav Modi’s extradition is still pending, and Mehul Choksi remains out of India’s legal jurisdiction. The scam, however, resulted in strengthened banking regulations regarding LoUs and SWIFT transactions.<br /><h2><keyword id="23122399" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="vijay-mallya-scam" source="keywords">Vijay Mallya Scam</keyword> (2016) – ₹9,000 Crore</h2>The "King of Good Times" was living large while his airline, Kingfisher, was drowning in debt. Vijay Mallya allegedly defaulted on loans amounting to ₹9,000 crore from various banks. He fled to the UK in 2016, leaving creditors, employees, and stakeholders in financial distress. His lavish lifestyle amidst the collapse of his airline made this scandal a high-profile case.<br /><br />Mallya’s extradition process is ongoing, but he remains out of reach of Indian authorities. The main impact was enhanced scrutiny of loan defaults and triggered legal reforms on extradition.<br /><h2>Saradha Chit Fund Scam (2013) – ₹2,500 Crore<br /></h2>The Saradha Group, operating a ponzi scheme disguised as a chit fund, promised unrealistically high returns to its investors, mostly in West Bengal and Odisha. The scam collapsed, leaving over 1.7 million people, many of whom were low-income investors, without their life savings. Politicians and celebrities were also implicated in the case.<br /><br />While Sudipta Sen is behind bars, not all the accomplices have been held accountable. But this Ponzi scheme resulted in reform of chit funds and greater regulatory oversight on such investment schemes.<br />  <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="112337071" title="Noida woman invests in stock market via an app, loses over Rs 69 lakh as it turns out to be a scam" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div><br /><h2><keyword id="6560832" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="2g-spectrum-scam" source="Orion">2G Spectrum Scam</keyword> (2008) – ₹1,76,000 Crore<br /></h2>The 2G spectrum allocation scandal involved the underpricing of telecom licences to select companies in exchange for bribes. Telecom minister A. Raja was at the centre of this controversy, which allegedly caused a loss of ₹1.76 lakh crore to the exchequer. The case was seen as a massive blow to public trust in India’s telecom sector and led to significant political fallout.<br /><br />Sadly, all key figures involved were acquitted despite the Supreme Court’s intervention and cancellation of 122 telecom licences.<br /><br /><h2><keyword id="455134" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="coal-allocation-scam" source="Orion">Coal Allocation Scam</keyword> (Coalgate) (2012) – ₹1,86,000 Crore<br /></h2>The coal allocation scam, or "Coalgate," involved the illegal allocation of coal blocks to private companies between 2004 and 2009. The CAG of India estimated a loss of ₹1.86 lakh crore to the exchequer due to non-competitive bidding. Many high-profile politicians and industrialists were implicated, making this one of the largest political scandals in India.<br /><br />While some officials faced legal consequences, many key players were not prosecuted. But it did trigger policy reforms in the allocation of natural resources.<br /><br /><h2>DHFL Scam (2019) – ₹34,615 Crore<br /></h2>Dewan Housing Finance Corporation Limited (DHFL) was accused of syphoning off over ₹34,000 crore through a series of shell companies and fraudulent loans. Investigations revealed that the promoters used these funds for personal enrichment and illegal political donations. The case came to light after an investigation by investigative journalists and was later confirmed by a report from KPMG.<br /><br />The case is ongoing, and the main accused are in custody. For now, regulations governing non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) have been strengthened.<br /><br /><h2>Yes Bank Crisis (2020) – ₹3,788 Crore<br /></h2>Yes Bank, under its founder <keyword id="19899935" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rana-kapoor" source="keywords">Rana Kapoor</keyword>, was involved in questionable lending practices. The bank made high-risk loans to companies already in financial trouble, which eventually turned into non-performing assets (NPAs). Kapoor was arrested, and the Reserve Bank of India had to step in to stabilise the bank. The case highlighted serious lapses in corporate governance and risk management.<br /><br />As of now, Rana Kapoor is facing trial, and legal proceedings are active. The RBI has also introduced new measures to monitor the health of banks more rigorously.<br /><h2>Commonwealth Games Scam (2010) – ₹70,000 Crore<br /></h2>The 2010 Commonwealth Games held in New Delhi were overshadowed by corruption allegations involving inflated contracts and kickbacks. <keyword id="23122398" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="suresh-kalmadi" source="keywords">Suresh Kalmadi</keyword>, the head of the organising committee, was arrested for awarding contracts at exorbitant rates. The estimated loss to the exchequer was around ₹70,000 crore. This scam tarnished India’s image on the global stage.<br /><br />Kalmadi was arrested but the case has not resulted in major convictions or recoveries, except for stricter oversight on large public projects and international event planning.<br /><br />These scams not only caused financial damage but also eroded public trust in India’s institutions. In response, India has tightened regulatory frameworks, improved corporate governance, and adopted stricter banking standards, although challenges persist in tackling large-scale fraud.<br />  <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="112896255" title="I was scammed out of $300K in a 3-month-long government impersonation scam" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div><br />
