IOAA and GroupM work together to advance sustainability in the OOH sector.

The establishment of a specialized task-force committee to promote sustainable practices in the Out-of-Home (OOH) advertising sector has been announced by GroupM, WPP's media investment arm, in partnership with the Indian Outdoor Advertising Association (IOAA). Along with industry experts Pawan Bansal, chairman of IOAA, and Pramod Bhandula, executive chairman of JCDecaux Advertising India, the committee, which includes Ajay Mehta, MD Cinema, OOH, and experiential marketing at GroupM, is dedicated to helping media owners implement sustainable practices. By 2027, the group wants to guarantee that 50% of all Indian advertising sites use recyclable materials.The adoption of renewable energy, especially solar power, will be the task force's top priority in order to counteract the increase in power consumption brought on by the switch to Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) advertising. The group will create a plan for converting OOH assets to renewable energy sources and improving cost effectiveness by purchasing in bulk. The team will also look into sustainable alternatives to standard flex, such cloth and polyethylene, with the goal of finding materials that are strong, lightweight, weatherproof, and recyclable. To guarantee a cost-neutral transition, suppliers will be vetted through due diligence, and bulk agreements will be negotiated. Additionally, in collaboration with nonprofit organizations, a "Take Back Program" will be implemented to recycle discarded billboard materials. This program seeks to promote industry-wide responsibility and further reduce waste. In order to ensure that sustainable practices are widely adopted, the committee's goal is to promote environmental responsibility among media owners and partners. The World Out of Home Organization's (WOO) insights will also be used to help the OOH industry's worldwide sustainability initiatives.Using polyethylene fabric, GroupM's OOH Solutions team has already implemented sustainability initiatives with brands like ICICI, Zepto, and Blinkit, demonstrating practical solutions that adhere to sustainable standards. "As leaders in the media industry, it is our responsibility to move the needle, inspire transformation, and ensure that sustainable practices become the norm rather than the exception," emphasized Ajay Mehta, MD of Cinema, OOH, and experiential marketing at GroupM. This group will work to strike a balance between creative advertising and environmental responsibility since I firmly think that we should all do good while doing well. "Sustainability is the future of advertising, and IOAA is committed to guiding media owners towards responsible, eco-friendly practices," said Pawan Bansal, chairman of IOAA, in response to this effort.

Day 5 Box Office Collection for The Sabarmati Report: Vikrant Massey's Film Recovers 19.7% Of Its Budget, Needing Just 0.54 Crores More To Escape 12th Failure!

The Sabarmati Report, a political drama directed by Dheeraj Sarna, is doing very well at the Indian box office. With his most recent release continuing along the same lines, Vikrant Massey has been making sure he duplicates the enormous success of 12th Fail. The amount collected has now exceeded that of the first Monday. For day 5 updates, scroll below.Dheeraj Sarna's political drama The Sabarmati Report is performing admirably at the Indian box office. Vikrant Massey has been making sure he replicates the huge success of 12th Fail, and his most recent release follows suit. Now, more money has been collected than on the first Monday. Scroll below for updates for day five. The first Tuesday's earnings for Vikrant Massey's film were 1.37 crores. In comparison to the 1.23 crores earned on day four, the political drama saw an 11% increase. As of right now, the total box office receipts total 9.31 crores. There are encouraging signs, and if the movie keeps up its current pace, it might be another Bollywood hit in 2024.In just five days, Virkant's previous smash hit, 12th Fail, brought in 9.85 crores. TSR is therefore not very far. Right now, there is just a 0.54 crore difference between the two giants. One significant factor, though, still exists that might prevent The Sabarmati Report from repeating its success. The fact that 12th Fail was produced on a mere 20 crore budget allowed the filmmakers to make more money. If mixed word-of-mouth eventually takes over, it might be challenging to secure the super-hit verdict because the Sabarmati Report was produced on a budget of about 50 crores.

Election Commission ruling by the Supreme Court: When judicial activism shapes the law

Election Commission ruling by the Supreme Court: When judicial activism shapes the law

By adopting the Constituent Assembly's mantle in its March 2, 2023, ruling, the Supreme Court of India essentially rewrote some of the Constitution's clauses. The Court mandated that revised guidelines for the Election Commissioner's appointment be adhered to.According to these regulations, a committee made up of the Prime Minister, the Leader of the Opposition, and the Chief Justice of India must advise the appointment of the Election Commissioner. The Court defended this by saying that these regulations are necessary to address the "lacuna" in the laws governing this topic. However, it is clear that the Court has acted in flagrant contempt of the doctrine of the separation of powers if we examine the Court's reasoning and the laws pertaining to the appointment of Election Commissioners in greater detail.The Constitution itself, which aimed to create three institutional organs—the legislature, executive branch, and judiciary—is the source of the theory of separation of powers. The Constitution also outlined the roles of these three branches, with the legislature enacting laws, the executive branch enforcing them, and the judiciary rendering decisions. But the same Court that once acknowledged this theory as a component of the Constitution's "basic structure" has now reversed it.

The hiring of Jha reflects the desire of rapid commerce companies to expand beyond grocery by entering e-commerce markets that have historically been robust, such electronics, fashion, and clothing.

In addition to market leader Blinkit's steady rise, BigBasket's complete focus on speedy commerce and Zepto's charge, which is being supported by $1 billion in new funding, are the main causes of the assault.

The Union Budget 2024 may see the government loosen the 45-day payment restriction for MSMEs.

According to insiders, the government may decide to loosen the rule requiring MSMEs to be paid for goods and services within 45 days of the purchase in order to deter big corporations from exploring alternative sources of funding This could be announced in the budget, which is expected to be delivered on July 23.Overview. The government is thinking about easing the 45-day payment deadline for MSMEs in an effort to keep big businesses from looking for alternative suppliers. It is possible that this modification to Section 43B(h) of the Income Tax Act would be disclosed in the forthcoming July 23 Budget. As per the Finance Act 2023's introduction of Section 43B(h) of the Income Tax Act, a larger company may face greater taxes if it fails to pay an MSME within the stipulated timeframe of 45 days for written agreements. This is because the firm cannot deduct the payment from its taxable income.The amendment was introduced to allow MSMEs to receive payments on time, but many of them expressed fear, according to sources. They said they were afraid that large corporations might ask their vendors to give up their MSME registration in order to do business with them, or they might shift their sourcing requirements to larger firms in an effort to protect their interests.

Art and Culture with Devdutt Pattanaik - An intriguing look into India's coin history

What was the composition of punch-marked coins, called Karshapanas? What can we learn about kings and their reigns from the inscriptions and imagery on coins?(The Indian Express introduces a new series of articles on topics and ideas including history, politics, international relations, art, culture, and heritage, environment, geography, science, and technology, among other subjects, that are authored by experienced writers and learned academics for UPSC candidates. Increase your chances of passing the highly sought-after UPSC CSE by reading and discussing with subject matter experts. The acclaimed author Devdutt Pattanaik, who specializes in mythology and culture, gives a compelling history of currencies in India in the piece that follows.)Humans have traded to enable exchange ever since the dawn of civilizations. Debt recording allows transactions to occur even in the absence of coins. Actually, a key factor in the production of coins was debt, or rinn, as the word appears in the Rig Veda.Although there is no proof of coinage in Harappa, cowrie shells that could have been used as money have been discovered. Consider the Hindi proverb, "Ek phooti kaudi nahin doonga" (I won't donate a single cent), which states that one cowrie shell (four phooti kaudi, or fractured cowrie shells) equals one penny. Even still, necklaces made of cowrie shells are worn by women at temples. It suggests that cowrie shells were once used as money for trade, much like gold coins, which some ladies also wear around their necks. Cowrie shells, which originated in the Maldives, were traded for money in Africa and India up until the Portuguese disrupted the system in the sixteenth century.Other than cowrie shells, numerous items were used as money by humans in different parts of the world. Certain civilizations in South America, for instance, used cocoa beans as money.

The International Cricket Council inflated the Impact Player rule pertaining to the Indian Premier League.This is due to the fact that good is insufficient in India. Hell, most of the time exceptional is insufficient.

Sourav Ganguly feels the impact player for the IPL should be disclosed at toss.

Saurav Ganguly, the director of cricket for the Delhi Capitals, speaks to the media on March 27, 2024, the Wednesday before the IPL 2024 T20 cricket match at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.Sourav Ganguly, the director of cricket for the Delhi Capitals and a former captain of India, supports keeping the impact-player rule in place for the Indian Premier League but prefers that teams make their own decisions at the toss.The impact-player rule has gained a lot of attention in the wake of the recent IPL season, in which eight teams scored more than 250 runs. The impact player rule appeals to me. The only issue I have with the IPL is that I wish the grounds were a little bit larger. On the fringes of the Blue Ocean Corporation's International Procurement and Supply Chain Conference, Ganguly told the journalists, "The fences should go a little behind."It's a fantastic competition. With the impact player, your sole option is to make your decision prior to the toss, thus some skill is required there."So, disclose the impact player beforehand since it would need a lot of talent and strategy. But as for the impact player, I am all for it," the former captain of India stated. Ganguly supported Prithvi Shaw, who had a poor IPL season this year, pointing out that he is still a young player still getting used to the shorter format. "Prithvi Shaw is a small child. He's only twenty-three. He's still getting the hang of T20 cricket. He has a great deal of skill and will only grow better. Sometimes we ask too much of people too soon, and I'm confident Prithvi will succeed given his skill set," he continued.
