Many labels have made fashion affordable and trendy in India, but at the cost of quality and sustainability. Frequent restocks, low prices, and synthetic fabrics fuel a disposable fashion culture. While accessible, these clothes often don’t last, unlike your parents’ durable wardrobes. As fast fashion grows, so do its environmental and social challenges, demanding more mindful choices.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. If your audience is young like Gen Z or early millennials, Instagram should be your focus. They love visual content, trends, and fast interactions. But if your audience includes parents, working professionals, or older millennials, Facebook is still very active and effective. The smartest brands don’t pick just one, they use both.

NPS Vatsalya: Why children’s pension cannot be priority over education or parents' retirement plans
Money Control
·
9m ago
Medial
NPS Vatsalya is a pension scheme introduced in the 2024 budget that allows parents to invest in the name of their children up to the age of 18. The scheme aims to create a retirement corpus for children over the long term. Parents can contribute a minimum of Rs 1,000 annually, with no maximum investment limit. The funds have the potential to generate significant returns due to compounding over time. However, there are limitations on partial withdrawals and the funds may not be easily accessible for education needs in the interim. Other options such as PPF and Sukanya Samriddhi may be more suitable for short-term education goals.

Mutual fund investors received a last-minute extension to revalidate their know-your-customer (KYC) records, allowing them to continue transactions without interruptions. Existing investors no longer need to redo their KYC for their current investments, but they still need to validate their mobile number and email ID. New investors must complete KYC based on officially valid documents specified by the KYC registration agencies. However, there is a lack of clarity regarding communications from registrar and transfer agents (RTAs) and KYC Registration Agencies (KRAs), leaving out direct plan investors.

Traditional automation followed rigid if-then rules. But modern businesses need systems that can adapt. AI and ML make automation flexible able to respond to dynamic inputs, patterns, and unpredictability.

In 2025, salary hikes in corporate India are expected to be lower, with firms like Aon predicting a decrease from last year's 9.3%. Economic slowdown and lower corporate earnings contribute to tighter budgets, impacting raises. Employees with advanced skills in AI, cybersecurity, and data analytics might receive better hikes. Companies are focusing on retaining top talent with benefits like stock options and professional development opportunities rather than significant pay increases. Attrition rates are expected to remain stable.

In an interview with Meta CTO Andrew 'Boz' Bosworth, he suggests a different approach when asking for help from your manager. Rather than framing it as a problem, Bosworth advises sending a 5-10 sentence email showcasing progress and highlighting any roadblocks. This allows the manager to redirect or offer assistance if needed. Bosworth emphasizes the importance of early and consistent communication and encourages employees to reach out for help instead of struggling alone. Ultimately, the goal is to get the job done competently with the manager's support.

Is your content helping or halting conversion?

Indian users are now discovering, considering, and buying all inside social apps. Product tags, influencer links, and integrated checkouts collapse the funnel. If your social presence isn't shoppable, it's incomplete. Content is no longer just for views, it's for cart builds. Clicks must lead to checkouts.
