By @jainrounak Image
With the pandemic & the #RussiaUkraineConflict, global economies have been affected by too many factors that have made central banks alter the course too many times, resulting in confusion over which way the economy will go and the shape of recovery.

#stagflation #RBI Image

There is one misfortune of being born to powerful and charismatic men, the constant comparison. #UddhavThackeray has always been known as the son of #BalasahebThackeray, the founder of #ShivSena — even when he held the numero uno post in the state of Maharashtra. Image
In his younger days, #UddhavThackeray was known more for his photography skills, which led him to branch off into an advertising business – proving that he inherited his father’s artistic skills. Balasaheb was a well-known cartoonist in his younger days. Image

#PallonjiMistry, the elusive but powerful phantom of Bombay House

businessinsider.in/thelife/person…

By @KatyaNaidu Image
Very little is known about #PallonjiMistry who was the chairman emeritus of the Shapoorji Pallonji group – but has been crowned one of the Moghuls of real estate. The unlisted company had built every iconic building of South Mumbai – be it the Taj Colaba or the Oberoi Hotel. Image
Abroad, the company built the places of #Oman’s king and the President of Ghana. In fact, their ability to build seems to be how they ended up as one of the biggest shareholders of the #TataGroup.
