R.G. Chandramogan, Founder - Hatsun Agro Products


Meet R.G. Chandramogan, a true idol of the Indian dairy industry whose story embodies grit, determination, and the power of dreams. This school dropout from Thiruthangal, Tamil Nadu, began his career earning a humble Rs. 65 a month at a timber depot. At just 21, with a mere Rs. 13,000, he took a leap of faith into the ice cream business, starting small in a 250 sq. ft. space with just three employees. 

His ambition was fueled by early success, earning Rs. 1.5 lakh in his first year selling ice cream in pushcarts. This momentum led him to found Hatsun Agro Products in 1986, revolutionizing the dairy supply chain by directly sourcing milk from farmers and establishing factory-style outlets.

Today, Hatsun Agro Products is an empire spanning over 3 million sq. ft., employing more than 8,000 people, and boasts beloved brands like Arokya, Gomatha, Arun Icecreams, and Ibaco. Not only does it dominate the Indian market, but its products are also exported to 42 countries, with an astounding annual turnover of Rs. 20,000 crore!

At 74, R.G. Chandramogan stands as one of India's richest individuals, with a net worth exceeding Rs. 13,000 crore. His journey from a Rs. 65 salary to building a multi-crore empire is a powerful testament to what unwavering hard work and a clear vision can achieve.

Britannia Marie Gold honoured Avani Lekhara by launching limited edition packs


What has Britannia Marie Gold got to do with shooting 🤔 

Britannia Marie Gold honoured Avani Lekhara who won Gold at the Paris 2024 and Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games. For the first time in 18 years, Britannia launched a limited edition pack in which they reshaped the iconic brand not just to match Avani's 4.5 cm target but to make us consumers feel quite literally the precision required to hit the mark from 10 mtrs away. Every biscuit in the pack is intricately engraved with the same placement of Avani's historic winning shots. It's just not a design but tribute to her grit, focus and perfection measured in millimeter. 
The advertising agency responsible for this brilliant creative work just didn't tell a story but made it tangible.  They turned inspiration into something that consumers can hold, taste and experience. Some victories are are just not seen but felt and savoured.

Received these with seal broken and wrapping torn on 2025-01-21 after ordering from Amazon in less than 24 hours. Combo pack of 2 x 1 kg Mapro Strawberry jams and 1 x 1 kg Mapro Mixed Fruit Jam were ordered. Barring one pack of Strawberry Jam, the other two arrived with faculty packaging.

Amazon India replaced all the 3 packs on 2025-01-28 and asked me to retain the packs received earlier. 
Amazon India deserves hearty thanks for being proactive.

Anand Mahindra emphasized the importance of quality over quantity when it comes to work


At the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue in early January 2025, speaking to journalist Palki Sharma, the chairman of Mahindra Group emphasized the importance of quality over quantity when it comes to work.

When asked how many hours he works in a week, Mahindra said, “This is what I wanted to avoid. I don’t want it to be about time. I don’t want it to be about quantity. Ask me about the quality of my work. Don’t ask me how many hours I have worked.”Taking a dig at Subrahmanyan’s remark—where he questioned, “How long can you stare at your wife?”—Mahindra said, “I want to tell people that I am on X or social media not because I am lonely. My wife is wonderful; I love staring at her. So, I am not here to make friends. I am here because social media is an amazing business tool. How in one platform, I get feedback from 11 million people.”

Happy Durga Puja 2024


Forced myself to wish everyone (except the supporters of the wrongdoers) a very Happy Durga Puja 2024 (although, belated). 

Please pray that the evil/ diabolical/ venomous inspiration provider to wrongdoers is vanquished. 

Me (Deep Banerjee) being based out of Kolkata, am in a pensive mood. I have been in no mood to rejoice the Durga Puja 2024. The entire world knows what's been happening in Kolkata and elsewhere in West Bengal.

Brands that don’t sponsor athletes cannot legally use their images in ads


According to an ET report, brands using photos and videos of Indian Olympic medal winners in their ads without sponsoring them will face legal notices for violating personality rights, according to executives managing top Indian athletes. Manu Bhaker, a 22-year-old shooter who won a bronze medal at the Paris Olympics on July 28, 2024, has seen congratulatory messages from brands that haven’t sponsored her. "Since yesterday, almost two dozen brands not associated with Manu have posted congratulatory ads on social media using her images. This is not allowed, and we are sending legal notices to these brands," said Neerav Tomar, MD of IOS Sports & Entertainment, which manages Bhaker. A spokesperson from Baseline Ventures, representing boxer Nikhat Zareen and badminton players Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy, added, "Brands that don’t sponsor our athletes cannot legally use their images in ads. If they do, we will take action."

Would you like to be seen in this Honda Amaze spotted in Salt Lake



Someone in his mid or late 30s with dyed hairs considers it cool and funky to be seen driving around Salt Lake and the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass in Kolkata with family members in this piece of Honda Amaze. 

Will you be keen to be seen zooming around town in this piece of car? 

Inference: Any product (service) and every product (service) is not meant for anybody and everybody. 
This logic holds good for every product and service. 
It's a perfect example to define and describe 'market segmentation' and 'target audience'.

2024 Instagram Trend Talk report unveiled on 2023-12-04

Instagram unveiled the 2024 Instagram Trend Talk on 2023-12-04. The report focuses on Gen Z’s take on trends that will drive global culture in the year ahead.

2023 has been a year on socials to remember. From Barbie-core painting the world pink, to the rise of the ‘girl dinner’, viral moments and trends on Instagram and beyond have been driving global culture and influencing Gen Z’s next move.

Instagram’s Trend Talk, conducted in partnership with WGSN, shares the results of a sweeping survey looking at Gen Z trends across the US, UK, Brazil, India, and South Korea. The survey asked about topics, issues, and trends that matter to Gen Z and identified what you can expect to see all over the platform in 2024 - from fashion, beauty, social media, dating, friendships, and more.

2024 Instagram Trend Talk Topics

Key findings from the report include:

Fashion and Beauty

  • Gen Z are focusing on sustainable fashion goals in 2024. They are most likely to buy fewer new clothes, repeat outfits and shop locally. The Top 5 Sustainable Fashion Practices we will see from Gen Z this coming year include:
    ○ #1 Buy Less New Clothes
    ○ #2 Repeating Outfits
    ○ #3 Shopping Local
    ○ #4 Thrifting and/or shopping secondhand online or IRL
  • Top 5 Fashion Trends in 2024 globally:
    ○ #1 Modest Dressing
    ○ #2 Thrifting, Vintage, Heirloom
    ○ #3 Repeating outfits to be more sustainable
    ○ #4 Wearing clothes in unexpected ways
    ○ #5 DIY
  • Fashion and beauty are going to be all about individuality, with nearly 1/3 of Gen Z saying that they are looking to get more creative with how they dress, followed closely by finding their signature scent and their own ‘core’ aesthetic.
  • As they identify their ‘core’ aesthetics, Gen Z will be looking to fill their closets with clothing that they feel good in. People across surveyed countries agree that they want their clothing choices to express that they are comfortable.
  • Gen Z respondents noted that ‘A New Hairstyle’ was their favorite beauty tip they learned from social media, followed by skincare.
  • Shaved eyebrows are out, with Gen Z identifying this beauty trend as the one they would like to see left in the past.
  • Fragrance creators are on the rise, as over 1/4 of Gen Z plan to express themselves by discovering a signature scent in 2024.

Social Media

  • Gen Z is all about prioritizing meaningful connections in 2024, with the generation planning to use social media to keep up with their friends and family. A close second was to stay on top of trends (Fashion, Music, Tech).
  • When asked how they use their Instagram to get closer to someone, the top ways were: liking someone’s story, sending reels or memes in DMs, and liking a post on their feed.

Dating and Friendship

  • Gen Z is as single as ever with 63% of respondents stating their relationship status as such. They may not be trying to change that any time soon, with their top relationship priority for 2024 being ‘strengthening my current relationships.’
  • After meeting someone new, 28% of Gen Zs make the first move by exchanging Instagram handles as opposed to exchanging phone numbers.
  • ‘Chewing with your mouth open’ was the overall top ick across all surveyed countries. The Top 5 Icks across all countries surveyed:

  • When asked about what they value most about their friends, the leading response across surveyed regions was: ‘I can tell them anything,’ followed by ‘they get me better than anyone else.’

Lifestyle

  • Next year is going to be defined as Gen Z’s growth era, with many honing in on self improvement and development for the year ahead. Gen Z’s top eras for 2024:
    ○ #1 Self Improvement or Development
    ○ #2 Lucky
    ○ #3 Unapologetically Myself
  • Gen Z are a generation of self-starters with 1 in 3 saying the best way to achieve wealth was through some form of self-employment.
  • Gen Z’s top three priorities for 2024 are to “stay healthy” (work out regularly, eat healthy etc.), explore a career path, and travel.

Food

  • Gen Z are interested in trying trending foods and ingredients, with 45% saying they are interested in consuming vegan products, and 42% saying they are interested in trying plant based meat.

Matchstick making


Most of my travel by road throughout my life has mainly been for work. I know many in Indian Roadie and associated forums whose purpose of travel matches mine. 
Spotting road/ vehicle signages, billboards screaming something that's unusual, people engaged in 'out of the box' businesses/ professions, out of the box happenings on every kilometre of road, etc, etc, etc possibly gives me a far bigger kick than getting a glimpse of a snow capped mountain peak or the ocean or the jungles or deserts. 
More than three decades ago while I was with Castrol India, I used to visit the sprawling highly mechanized manufacturing unit of matchstick manufacturer WIMCO near Dakhineswar in North Kolkata. It used to be a thoroughbred blue chip MNC those days. 
The drive on a dug up CR Avenue followed by the indefinite wait at Shyambazar and then a seemingly never ending narrow B.T.Road upto Dunlop Bridge and PWD Road upto Alambazar used to be a whole day's assignment. 
The officials used to serve me wonderful food and beverages. They were so friendly. In one of my official trips to the factory, I happened to meet the head of HR who was there on a factory visit. Some chit-chat followed over coffee and he straight away offered me a lucrative job offer. However, I declined the offer after almost 2 months of negotiations because I wanted to be posted in Mumbai while the offer was for Kolkata. 
The ugly head of communism had already crept in with inciting posters and banners screaming at everyone from every corners of the factory. Within the next few years the heavily overstaffed company closed down thanks to Jyoti Basu's militancy policies and Indira Gandhi's policies of reservation of matchstick manufacturing for the SME sector. 
Those tiring drives in mid/ late 1980s made me an even more confident roadie on the bumpy roads of Kolkata in yesteryears. 
The attached video of matchstick manufacturing in some small unit somewhere in India is far more relevant for me than any photos, reels and videos depicting a setting sun along a riverfront.
