#IRANWAR #inflation # LPG

Vada Pav — Mumbai’s inflation meter — jumps 25% to ₹25 due to the LPG shortag

Street food has always been the real inflation indicator.

History tells us : prices go up fast, but rarely come down.

If the war persists, more pain may be on the menu

@TVMohandasPai @sebi @nsitharaman @FinMinIndia This episode is not just about one proposal. It is about the evolving expectations of capital markets.

Strong businesses are built not only on operational excellence, but also on trust.

It will be interesting to see how the company recalibrates its approach going forward

@TVMohandasPai @sebi @nsitharaman @FinMinIndia In an environment where institutional and retail investors are increasingly aware and engaged, companies may need to go beyond compliance and focus more on perception, fairness, and proactive engagement — especially in related party matters.

@TVMohandasPai @sebi @nsitharaman @FinMinIndia Regardless of one’s view on the commercial merits of the proposal, the outcome reinforces three key themes:

1️⃣ Minority shareholder voice matters.
2️⃣ Governance standards are rising in India.
3️⃣ Transparency and communication are now non-negotiable.

[N S Rajan @ns_rajan]

@TVMohandasPai @sebi @nsitharaman @FinMinIndia Minority Shareholders Have Sent a Strong Signal

The recent vote at Linde India, where a significant majority of minority shareholders rejected the proposed related party transaction (RPT), is an important moment in India’s corporate governance journey.

If this had happened in the private sector , the CEO would have perhaps have sacked !

WHEN :

A CEO crashes a company he gets a golden parachute

A worker misses a deadline he gets a pink slip

A heiress wears ripped jeans it’s vintage chic

A labourer wears them, it’s desperation

The rich lose it’s a learning experience

When the poor lose it’s a life sentence

#waysoftheworld

WHEN :

Money speaks, no one checks the grammar

A CEO skips the dress code, he’s rewriting the rules

An intern does it, HR rewrites his future

Rich man wears sandals, it’s effortless style

A CEO does not wear a jacket to a black tie event he is different

[N S Rajan @ns_rajan]

WHEN :

A founder sleeps till noon, he’s recharging creatively.

An employee’s late by a minute, he’s unreliable.

A billionaire drops out, it’s a visionary pivot.

When a student quits, it’s a wasted opportunity

@KudzanayiMasha1 pilot seat malfunction scenario contradicts evidence of emergency power activation (RAT) and lacks corroboration from ongoing investigations. Till AAIB's report provides definitive insights dual engine failure remains the leading technical hypothesis based on available data.

@KudzanayiMasha1 @grok is this true

#badnewsfatigue #switchoffnews
In the age of doom scrolling, the seemingly endless supply of bad news can take a toll on people’s mental wellbeing. As a consequence, more and more people actively try to avoid the news or at least ration their exposure to it.

Sad that a multinational company which is supposed to adhere to the highest governance standards is doing this !

Linde India’s minority investors have been fighting firm for 5 yrs. Now they’ve clocked a small win. A good win for minority shareholders https://t.co/RSxcK3bS6Y

#DrManmohanSingh

In the few reactions condoling the death of Dr Manmohan Singh , the usually vocal corporate CEO’s and Industry stalwarts who jostle for media space with their quotes are conspicuously absent .
Am I missing something or is it the sign of the current times !

It beats me why internal flight fares are so expensive compared to destinations like Vietnam , Bali , Abu Dhabi .

Do we need more competition in the skies ?
