🇮🇳🇹🇷 Canan Çelebioğlu, Chairwoman of Çelebi Holding, spoke for the first time about the cancellation of the license of their company operating in India following Operation Sindoor: "I loved India. That's what made it so shocking. It truly devastated us."
Çelebioğlu, a guest on the "İşte Zirve" program on Bloomberg HT, described the events that followed the Indian government's May 15, 2025 decision.
The chairwoman said that the operations in India were terminated by a government decision and that approximately 10,000 employees were transferred to other companies in a single day. She added that the $400-500 million in value created over the years had vanished in an instant.
Among other things she said:
“We entered India and became the largest ground handling company there. I was obsessed with India — I called it my second country.
“Last year, around May 15th, the Indian government shut us down. They seized all our equipment, transferred 10,000 employees to another company in a single day — and wiped out a value we had built of perhaps $400–500 million. Gone in one day.
“Put the financial loss aside. That place was built stitch by stitch. We spent years pushing the government to change policies, to develop the sector.
“And I loved India. That's what made it so shocking. It truly devastated us.”
Çelebi Airport Services India, a subsidiary of Çelebi Holding, had its security permit revoked by the Civil Aviation Security Bureau (BCAS) of India on May 15, 2025, on grounds of "national security".
Following the decision, the company's ground handling and cargo operations at nine airports, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Goa, Kochi, and Kannur, were suspended. On the same day, the airport operators also terminated their contracts with Çelebi, and the operations were transferred to different companies.
Çelebi Holding, which has been operating in India for approximately 17 years, initiated legal proceedings following the decision. The company argued that the "national security" justification was not supported by concrete evidence. However, the Delhi High Court found the Indian government's decision to revoke the security permit to be lawful.
Bhai yeh kya bhikhari behaviour hai.
In Mumbai in a decent society a cook will charge you atleast 7k for breakfast+Lunch and dinner. 2k for bartan, 1k for zhadu pocha and 1.5k for complete dusting.
1k for washing (machine) drying and folding.
So if someone said 10k, it's cheap.
Watch : How Poor gets exploited by Bollywood actors. 👇👇
Interviewer: Have you faced any instance where people try to sell you cheap products at higher price just because you are an actor
Kirti Kulhari "Recently we took a house in Yari Road, the cook and Maid asked for 10000/month for 2 hours. The work included Sweeping, Mopping, Dishwashing, Dusting and washing Clothes. I was like you are charging 10000 for what?"
Imagine an actress who earns crores from movies, has a personal Manager and lives in Yari Road where average rent is 1.5 Lakh for 3 BHK Flat, is crying because a servant asked 10k per month for so much work!!
The same actors will give speeches about dignity of labour later!!
Is this not exploitation?
O principal motivo da copa de 2014 ter sido disparada a melhor das últimas copas, foi o fato dela ter sido sediado num continente que vive o futebol. Querem outra copa igual a do Brasil? Faça na Argentina, Colômbia, Uruguai ou Paraguai, a América do Sul é o berço do futebol

BKC Goes Car-Free Every Friday
MMRDA Launches Weekly Public Transport Day in BKC to Promote Sustainable Mobility
Every Friday, BKC will choose public transport. In a first-of-its-kind initiative, the MMRDA, in collaboration with WRI India, has launched the 'BKC Weekly Public Transport Day', encouraging thousands of professionals across India's premier business district to leave their cars behind and travel by Metro, suburban rail, buses and other public transport modes.
Announcing the initiative, Dr. Sanjay Mukherjee, IAS, Metropolitan Commissioner, MMRDA, called upon MMRDA employees to lead by example by observing Public Transport Day every Friday.
Inspired by Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji's call to increase the use of public transport, the initiative is built on the belief that the future of urban mobility will be shaped not just by infrastruture, but by the choices we make every day.
As India’s leading business district, BKC has the opportunity to lead this shift by creating a culture of smarter, more sustainable commuting.
What begins as a #NoCarDay every Friday has the potential to become a powerful movement for cleaner air, reduced congestion, lower emissions and more liveable cities.

If you think car owners and Middle upper middle class dictate the election mandate then you really need to get out of that illusion.
If that was the case you'd have seen better tax reforms in income tax and not multiple freebies yojana.
If BJP loses in 2029 - he will be the first reason .
Middle class and upper middle class , especially car owners throughout India are just so pissed about him .
Lewis Hamilton says there should be a limit to how much wealth one person can have
"One of the things that I struggle with every day is that there is such a disparity between the wealthy and the poor”
"When you drive around LA there's still so many people living on the streets. You shouldn't be able to have billions"
"I think there should be a limit to how much you can have because there's enough to go around for everyone”
Italy having 3 colors on their flag but using an entirely different 4th color (blue) for a lot of their uniforms and sports things is so befuddling and funny to me

Maharashtrians love their Kanda poha. So much so that the meeting held for setting up marriage is called as "Kande pohe karyakram".
Anyway I'm not a fan of tarri poha.

Look how well orchestrated this is. You can clearly see through the entire ecosystem. This cockroach is from the filth op INDI alliance and AAP. Who is funding all this is an important aspect to look for.
Ek Dhurandhar toh yeh Kejriwal ko expose karne k liye bhi banani chahiye.
If the govt tries to stop this protest or arrest @abhijeet_dipke it will only fuel the GenZ movement. The govt should know that they are playing with fire by trying to stifle this peaceful movement
Inko abhi bhi lagta hai yeh aise chutiye jaise conspiracy theory bana lenge and people would believe it. Genz wasn't there to see Congress scams between 2000-13, but millennials know it all.
Who knows probably the current unrest is created by the CIA to bring back their puppets.
That was the day America must've realised that as long as Congress is in power, India could become a superpower. Out of this fear, America created the fraudulent IAC movement and right behind all this, CIA affiliated PR company was improving Modi's image.
