#ShashiSinha #ASCI

Shashi Sinha, an advertising veteran and statesman the industry looks up to, posted this on Twitter:  “Grateful to ASCI, all Board members and Manisha, Vinod and staff as a 20-year innings comes to an end. 10 years on the board and 10 years on the Consumer Complaints Council.” Congratulations are pouring in from all quarters. The industry is understandably grateful to the stalwart for his contribution. ASCI is one of the many entities that he has contributed to selflessly. Well played, Mr.Sinha.

#NaatuNaatu

The Golden Globes. A moment of pride for all of India and rightfully for the Telugu audience and all creators therefrom. Trust Amul to ride on the occasion. When the Amul girl does it, she does so in style. But credit first to the RRR team. Proof here that popular Indian culture can indeed make an impression on the world like Korea’s. It’s just that the domestic market is so large that we don’t look outward too much. That’s set to change and soon, one thinks.   

SPEECHLESS🙏🏻
Music truly knows no boundaries.

Congratulations & thank you PEDDANNA for giving me #NaatuNaatu. This one is special.:)

I thank each & every fan across the globe for shaking their leg & making it popular ever since the release🤗#GoldenGlobespic.twitter.com/cMnnzYEjrV

#SharkTankIndia #FlatHeads 

If the adage that all publicity is good publicity holds, then this is good for SharK Tank India and some of its judges. Not very flattering, mostly. 

But the impact that Ganesh Balakrishnan of Flatheads has had is immense. Everyone says failures are stepping stones. How many stand by those who fail and help them get back on their feet? As the entrepreneur said: “We can’t be driven only by the unicorn and funding PR hype.”

Thanks for bringing this up, and for your support @kaushikmkj! This is something the startup ecosystem badly needs to talk about as a focus topic. We can’t be driven only by the unicorn and funding PR hype. https://t.co/vAscCz6hDJ

— Ganesh Balakrishnan (@ganeshb78) January 6, 2023

People ask me what’s changed with the Indian startup ecosystem over the years.

Greater ambitions, of course, but also importantly greater empathy & support for founders.

Heartwarming to see this interaction between @ganeshb78 and @kaushikmkj. pic.twitter.com/yLJ0HZMJDV

She has been a pillar of support indeed. No words. https://t.co/xiBf5E4gWS

#Pongal #Sankranti #Lohri #Bihu 

It’s time for the harvest festival, one that is celebrated by different names in different ways across the country. The commonality is unmissable, as is the diversity. Isn’t that what India is all about? 

Happy #Uttarayan 🪁
Happy #MakarSankranti
Happy #Pongal
Happy #Bihu & yesterday night it was #Lohri 🔥🫘

An #astronomical event, movement of #Sun in northern hemisphere, celebrated across the #country as many #festivals in a day!

I love my #India 🇮🇳🇮🇳 pic.twitter.com/JlmW35Vpni

May this festival of harvest put an end to all your problems and leave you feeling happy with new dreams and hopes.
Warm wishes on #Lohri to you.” 🙏🥰 pic.twitter.com/O2EUu65ES1

#MahsaAmini

I am reminded of English daily The Hindu’s campaign from a few years ago, telling politicians to behave, because the youth of the country are watching them. The world is watching Iran’s current rulers and what they are inflicting on the people of the nation, but it doesn’t seem to be having an impact. The World Economic Forum in Davos has invited a speaker for her views on ‘Iran’s most progressive revolution’. Names of protestors sentenced to be killed in Iran have been read out in the UK House of Commons. 

Yet, many are turning a blind eye to what’s happening in the country, even as images of youngsters who have lost their eyes because of the regime’s firing at protestors, shock those caring to watch. 

Thank you @BambosMP!#MahsaAmini https://t.co/wbTWAlumJl

Looking forward. #MahsaAmini#WomanLifeFreedom https://t.co/8Xz06bKb6T

Dear Ukrainians, we can stand together and destroy one of the most brutal terrorists in the world, just stand together and gather in Strasbourg on January 16 and tweet the hashtag #IRGCterrorists Let’s put our.
