Why does Horlicks claim to make you taller!
Because the goal of any brand is to “repeat what their target audience wants to hear”.
The biggest insecurity of a child is height. So these brands are making children believe that if they don't buy their product, they may not grow taller.
The reality is that many of these milk mixes are high in added sugar. Sugar doesn't make children taller, sharper, or stronger.
That's exactly why I dream of an India where every child knows how to read a food label before believing a marketing claim.
Because if we teach children how to question marketing today, they'll make better food choices for the rest of their lives.

We now live in a nation where doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the press destroys information, religion destroys morals, and our banks destroy the economy.
A father’s son bought a ₹20L life insurance policy from HDFC Life.
Two months later, the son passed away. Instead of a cheque, the grieving father got a letter.
“Misrepresentation,” it said. A villager with no legal background. No money. No connections.
Just grief — and a belief that the court would listen. He fought HDFC Life for over a decade.
Every adjournment. Every delay. Every year without justice.
On Sep 8, 2025, NCDRC ruled in his favour. Full ₹20L ordered.
The son bought that policy so his father would never struggle.
HDFC Life made sure he struggled for 12 years first.
It’s striking how much of the conversation around football (soccer) on social media has shifted from the game to business metrics.
Billions are being invested in stadiums, apps, technology, and data platforms designed to measure every performance metric imaginable. Mini tournaments and showcase events are pushed across the globe with millions invested in branding and visibility, yet a large share of children worldwide still don’t have regular access to a ball or basic opportunities to play.
At the same time, many of the game’s biggest stars now position themselves as brilliant business investors, lending their name, image, and influence to massive projects in hopes of attracting even more capital. And even the language around coaching has changed. We hear “Talent Identification” far more than “Talent Development.” Finding the next asset often outweighs developing the next generation.
Over several years, we studied what actually happens when children simply play with a ball from a young age. The feedback and results were remarkable: improved cognitive development, stronger emotional regulation, better social skills, and long-term physical benefits. Early engagement doesn’t just create better players, it creates smarter, healthier humans.
We also looked at parent–child interactions, using a ball as a simple way to connect. The response was powerful. Parents reported stronger bonds, more shared moments, and a deeper connection to the game. This is how football families are created, and how the game truly grows from the bottom up.
You might expect governing bodies, associations, and professional clubs to be deeply interested in this kind of impact. Too often, they’re not. The focus remains on elite pathways, scalability, and monetization rather than accessibility and long-term wellbeing.
With the World Cup approaching and billions more being spent, one question feels unavoidable:
What lasting benefit will this actually create for communities, children, and the future of the game?
When the final whistle blows and the circus moves on, what remains?
Perhaps the legacy of a World Cup shouldn’t be measured only in revenue, viewership, or infrastructure, but also in something far more meaningful: more children playing, stronger families, and a generation of healthier, smarter kids inspired by the game.
