Women CEOs: Just 9 Women Lead India's Top 500 Companies, Govt Data Shows!

Indrakshi Samanta — Wed, 12 Aug 2026 23:19:03 +0530

There's a lot of talk about women making it big in the corporate world, but new government data tells a different story. Out of India's top 500 companies, just nine have women as Chief Executive Officers (CEOs). Only 25 women hold the position of Managing Director. These figures were revealed by the Union Ministry of Corporate Affairs in a reply to a question in the Lok Sabha.

In total, these top companies have 860 women as board members or directors. This includes 738 Directors, 67 Whole-time Directors, 25 Managing Directors, 18 Additional Directors, and 12 Nominee Directors. The government also clarified that it doesn't keep records for positions like 'Chairperson' or 'Chief Technology Officer' because the Companies Act, 2013, doesn't have a clear definition for them. The ministry added that it hasn't done any special studies on the challenges women face in reaching top corporate roles.

What the Law Says

According to Section 149(1) of the Companies Act, 2013, and Rule 3 of the 2014 rules, some companies must have at least one woman director. This applies to all listed companies, and any unlisted public company with a paid-up capital of ₹100 crore or more, or a turnover of ₹300 crore or more. If this position becomes vacant, it must be filled within three months or by the next board meeting, whichever is later. The ministry stated that the current laws are sufficient to increase women's representation and that no new policies, targets, or benefits are being considered by the government right now.

Rs 71 Lakh in Fines Collected

Over the last five years, the Registrar of Companies has issued 50 orders against companies for not appointing a woman director, collecting a total of ₹71,01,500 in fines. The highest number of violations (19 cases) was reported in the 2023-24 financial year. The government also stated that this number fell to 8 in 2025-26. Across the country, there are a total of 39,99,656 active company directors. Out of these, 11,60,933 are women, the Corporate Affairs Ministry informed the house.

He Was Offered ₹1 Crore At 25, But Walked Away After Learning The Workplace Was Toxic

Vaishnav Akash — Fri, 14 Aug 2026 11:56:54 +0530

A 25-year-old professional turned down a Rs 1 crore job offer because he did not want to work in a toxic workplace. The decision has sparked a wider discussion about money, mental health, and what young workers want from their careers.

The story was shared by Bengaluru-based product designer Muskan Atar, who said she was impressed by how clearly the young professional had set his priorities. "A friend of mine turned down a ₹1 Cr offer at the age of 25 to avoid working in a toxic workplace," she wrote on LinkedIn.

"Having the guts to let go of short-term incentives is a huge personality upgrade"

She said she had also rejected similar opportunities in the past but found it difficult to imagine making such a choice at 25. "I have said no to similar opportunities, but I can't imagine having this clear prioritisation at the age of 25," she said.

Atar explained that several pressures could have made the decision harder, including family needs, expectations from others, and personal goals. "Family responsibilities, peer pressure, and my own lifestyle aspirations would probably have made me take the offer. He comes from a similar background to mine, yet having the guts to let go of short-term incentives that don't align with his long-term goals is a huge personality upgrade."

She said the decision showed how some younger workers are looking beyond salary when choosing jobs. "The next generation of the workforce knows what matters to them. Workplaces will have to learn to adapt to it."

The post led to mixed reactions. Some praised the decision, while others pointed out that not everyone can afford to reject such a large salary.

One person wrote, "Glad that people are getting aware of what mental health can lead to… be it good or bad… and yes, money is important. I always say I would choose money over everything, sometimes even job roles or working hours. But toxicity and a weird work environment are a big NO…!! This realisation came after a decade of working in MNC and PSU, but at 25, it is commendable."

Another commented, "The middle class me in me will never be able to do that even in 45. So yeah, reroute those offers to me."

Who Was Rohit Sharma, Chaiwala's Founder Who Turned To Spirituality Before Death?

Divya Danu — Sun, 02 Aug 2026 19:52:54 +0530

Rohit Sharma, the 30-year-old founder and CEO of Chaiwala's, died by suicide at his Dausa home. Sharma began his entrepreneurial journey at 17 and went on to establish 7 tea outlets. Months ago, he shut the business and turned towards spirituality.

Rohit Sharma, the 30-year-old founder and CEO of tea brand Chaiwala's, died by suicide at his home in Dausa, Rajasthan, on Saturday, police said. The news has brought attention to the young entrepreneur's unusual journey from starting a tea business as a teenager to building a chain of outlets and later turning towards spirituality.

Sharma, who lived in Saket Colony, was found at his home on Saturday afternoon. His family took him to the district hospital, where doctors declared him dead. Police said the reason behind his death has not yet been established.

Sharma was an entrepreneur, speaker and social worker from Dausa. His LinkedIn profile described him as the founder and CEO of Chaiwalas Group, a keynote speaker, social media influencer and social worker.

He started his entrepreneurial journey at the age of 17 while he was still studying nursing, according to his profile.

His early business experience was not easy. He reportedly faced legal problems in a family business, which resulted in a major financial loss. Instead of giving up on business, he moved to Jaipur and started Chaiwala's.

The tea venture gradually grew and became his best-known business.

Sharma opened his first Chaiwala's tea cafe at Shipra Path in Mansarovar, Jaipur. He later expanded the business, opening more outlets in Rajasthan and other parts of the country.

Over the years, he established seven Chaiwala's outlets across different cities, according to details shared on his professional profile.

His story also attracted attention because of how young he was when he entered the business world. Starting a company at 17, he went on to build a recognisable tea brand while also taking part in speaking events and social work.

A post shared by Team Rohit Shivoham (@teamrohitshivoham)

He described himself as an entrepreneur and “Josh Speaker” on LinkedIn and said he had received 21 awards during his career.

Sharma's work in the food and beverage sector earned him several awards and public recognition.

His profile said he was a national award winner and that he had received an award for “Innovative Startup of the Year” from then Rajasthan Governor Kalraj Mishra.

He was also featured in newspapers and on social media for his entrepreneurial journey.

Beyond his business, Sharma was involved in social service activities in Dausa, where he grew up.

Around six months before his death, Sharma reportedly closed all the Chaiwalas outlets.

The closure marked a major change in his life. After stepping away from the tea business, he reportedly began spending more time on spirituality and visiting religious places.

The shift was notable because much of Sharma's public identity had been linked to entrepreneurship, business growth and motivational speaking.

His social media presence also reflected an interest in ideas around love, peace and letting go.

Sharma also wrote books focused on personal growth and spirituality.

Two titles associated with him were “Tatsukhe Sukhitvam - The Art Of Loving” and “Virah - The Art Of Letting Go”.

In a social media post about the books, Sharma said they could fill readers' hearts with love and peace and offer a new way of looking at life.

The titles also reflected the change in direction he had taken after leaving the tea business.

Sharma's life was not limited to Chaiwalas. He was also involved in social work and public speaking and had built a following on social media.

His family background was rooted in Dausa. His father, Hitendra Mohan Sharma, runs a medical store, while his wife works as a teacher at a private school.

Sharma is survived by his wife and their seven-year-old son.

For those who knew him, his death marks the loss of a young businessman who began working towards his ambitions at an unusually early age.

Police investigation underway

Police said Sharma's death was reported from his Dausa residence on Saturday. His body was handed over to the family after a post-mortem examination.

The exact circumstances surrounding his death remain under investigation, and police have not yet established a reason.

His journey, meanwhile, has drawn renewed attention to the life of a young entrepreneur who started a tea company at 17, expanded it to several outlets, earned recognition for his work and later moved away from business towards spirituality.

Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances of his death.

Levin's creations do not appear to be limited to household gadgets. His social media videos also feature a battery-operated roti maker, a small hand-propelled rocket launcher and a compact tool designed to switch on a fan.

While the inventions may look simple, they have attracted attention because of the way Levin uses basic materials to solve everyday problems.

What makes Levin's videos stand out is the way he experiments with ordinary objects.

Instead of relying on expensive equipment or complicated machinery, he uses things such as cardboard, wires, strings, nuts, bolts and batteries. He then combines them with small motors and other basic parts to create his own working models.

Woman Sacked After Taking 'Medical Leave, Seeking Time Off For Sick Daughter' Protests Outside Tech Mahindra Office

Divya Danu — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 13:09:14 +0530

A software employee staged a protest outside Tech Mahindra's office in Medchal on Thursday, alleging that she was unfairly removed from her job after taking medical leave and later asking for time off to care for her sick daughter. The employee, identified as R Bhavana, also accused the company of putting her under pressure while she was away from work and alleged that she was not given a fair chance to explain her absence before her employment was ended, reported the Hindu.

Bhavana has filed a complaint with the Dundigal police, seeking action against the company. Police have received the complaint and started a preliminary inquiry into her allegations.

Viral Video | Cargo on Delhi Metro Leaves Passengers Surprised, Internet Asks: ‘Metro Hai Ya Maalgaadi?’

Employee alleges termination after medical leave

According to Bhavana, she joined the company around four months ago. She said that she fell ill during her training period and fainted while at work. She was later taken to hospital for treatment.

She claimed that she had to take 13 days of medical leave in June as she continued to recover from her health problems. However, Bhavana alleged that the company sent her a warning letter during this period and repeatedly contacted her through emails asking her to return to work.

She said her husband also informed the management about her health condition. However, she alleged that the company did not respond in a supportive manner.

Bhavana further claimed that she was under treatment for nearly two weeks and was allegedly warned that her job could be at risk if she did not return to work.

She sought leave after daughter fell ill

After returning to work, Bhavana said she later asked for three days of leave after her 11-year-old daughter fell ill. She alleged that instead of approving her request, the management questioned the length of her absence. She claimed that she later received repeated emails asking her to report to work by July 21.

Bhavana alleged that her employment was subsequently terminated without giving her any additional time or a proper opportunity to explain her situation.

She accused the company of deliberately removing her from service and said she decided to protest outside the office to demand justice and her reinstatement.

Woman raises questions over workplace conditions

In a video circulated on social media, Bhavana also raised concerns about the working conditions at the company. She alleged that employees were expected to inform their managers whenever they left their desks, including when they needed to use the washroom. She described the workplace as unhealthy and said she had never faced similar conditions at any other company where she had worked.

Bhavana also alleged that the management did not provide enough support when she fell ill at the office.

She appealed to software companies to take a more understanding approach towards women employees, pointing out that working women may also have responsibilities at home and can face medical or family emergencies.

Police begin preliminary inquiry

Following her protest, Bhavana approached the Dundigal police and lodged a complaint against the company.

Police officials confirmed that they had received the complaint and said a preliminary investigation was underway. Officials are also seeking the company's response to understand what led to the termination and whether there were any workplace harassment or procedural issues involved.

The allegations made by Bhavana have not been independently verified.

There was no immediate response from Tech Mahindra to the allegations at the time of publication. The company's version of the matter was not available.

Job Offer: Fired in 2 Hours! Man Shares 'Humiliating' First Day at New Company

Indrakshi Samanta — Sun, 26 Jul 2026 16:01:59 +0530

Imagine the excitement of starting a new job. Now, imagine that excitement lasting for just two hours. That's exactly what happened to one young man, who was fired just two hours after he joined. He shared his frustrating experience on Reddit with the title, 'My first shift was only two hours before they took back the job offer'.

The man had landed a job at a company that sells food products. He reached on time for his first day, but things quickly went downhill. The senior employee who was supposed to train him seemed completely surprised to see him there. 'Today was my first day at a new job selling food products in a market. I arrived early, but the person who was supposed to train me seemed surprised to see me,' the man wrote.

Despite the chilly reception, he started his work. However, two hours later, his trainer stepped out to take a call from the boss. 'Two hours after I got there, the trainer got a call from the boss. The boss said my joining date was wrong, and since I didn't join on the date they had in mind, they gave the job to someone else,' the employee explained. The funny thing is, the man had shown up on the exact date he was told to.

He clarified that the manager himself had written the joining date on his resume and had even confirmed it later. Still, he was sent home for no fault of his own. He added that he felt completely humiliated and disappointed, and now has to start his job search all over again.

'Mental Harassment': Chandigarh Teacher Alleges School Demanded Rs 10,000 for Experience Letter

Divya Danu — Thu, 27 Aug 2026 17:04:06 +0530

A woman from Chandigarh has alleged in her post on X that she worked as a teacher at New Public School and accused the educational institution of withholding her pending salary and security deposit. She also claimed that the school demanded Rs 10,000 to issue her experience letter.

The woman claimed that she resigned because of a medical emergency. Criticising the school, she mentioned in her X post, "This is how schools harass teachers." She also labeled her experience as 'mental harassment'.

"I worked there as a teacher, but due to a medical emergency, I had to leave the job. Despite this, the school refused to pay my pending salary and even withheld my security deposit," she wrote, alleging the administration tied release of documents to a payment.

According to her, the fee was described as a 'school rule' to secure the experience letter and retrieve her documents.

She added that she made a partial payment but saw no resolution. "Later, I paid Rs 5,000 in the hope of resolving the matter, but they still refused to give me my documents, experience letter, or pending salary."

"This is nothing short of mental harassment and exploitation of an employee," she wrote in her X post. "I urge the concerned authorities to investigate this matter and ensure that no teacher has to face such treatment."

Allegation against New Public School in Chandigarh

The woman's post names New Public School in Chandigarh and centres on three claims: non-payment of pending salary, withholding of a security deposit and a demand of Rs 10,000 for an experience letter and document release. The ex-teacher further stated that even after paying Rs 5,000, neither the documents nor the salary were provided.

The school's perspective was not included in the post.

Online reactions and calls for action

Her post drew broad reactions. One commenter said, "Private institutions often have such management as exploits the faculty in incredibly unfair ways. Financial penalties are imposed with total disregard for any basic sense of justice."

Another urged legal recourse: "That’s too bad and not acceptable at all. Do take this matter to the court, quite a hassle but if you know some reliable trustworthy lawyer, they can really help," while a separate post amplified the sentiment with, "Take legal action".

Others focused on conditions for private-school staff. "It’s disheartening to see how private school teachers across many states are often treated by their school management and principals." "They deserve far greater respect and support for the work they do."

"Don’t let them get away. Take legal action without mercy," another user wrote.

Exactly something similar happened when I was working there too. Someone had raised a complaint about the coaching centre’s connection with the school, especially for the senior classes. After that, they were allotted a separate block, and the other teachers weren’t even allowed…

— Crow Dhillon (@CrowDhillon8) August 26, 2026

A separate allegation also surfaced in replies: "This school offers dummy school admissions for senior classes in collusion with private coaching centers, charges hefty fees from parents through this arrangement, and still does not pay the teachers. Shame!!"

As the discussion expanded, many called for an official inquiry into the allegations raised by the woman in her social media post.

He Painted Homes to Support His Family: Rajasthan Boy Scores 99.15 Percentile in NEET 2026

Divya Danu — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 17:14:52 +0530

For many students, clearing a medical entrance exam is a major achievement. For Suraj Suman from Kapren town in Rajasthan's Bundi district, it is much more than that. His success in NEET-UG 2026 is the result of years of hard work, financial struggles and a dream he refused to give up. Suraj scored 583 marks in NEET-UG 2026, securing a 99.1593559 percentile. He also achieved an OBC category rank of 7,800 and an overall rank of 16,569. His result has opened the door for him to pursue his dream of studying medicine at a government medical college.

The journey is especially remarkable because Suraj comes from a financially weak family. While preparing for his studies, he also worked as a painter in villages and small towns, helping his mother earn enough to run their home.

Painting work helped support his family

Suraj's mother, Gheesi Bai, worked as a farm labourer to support the family. His younger sister, Garima, also worked in the fields with their mother.

The family's financial difficulties had a serious impact on Garima's education. With limited opportunities to continue studying in the village and little money available, she had to leave school after Class 8. She later joined her mother in farm work.

Suraj now wants to change that. One of his biggest goals after becoming a doctor is to help his sister return to school and complete the education she had to leave behind.

For Suraj, his NEET success is therefore not only about building his own future. It is also about giving his family opportunities they could not afford earlier.

Doctor's dream stayed alive

Suraj scored 87% in Class 10 and 85% in Class 12. Biology was his favourite subject, and he had wanted to become a doctor since childhood.

However, preparing for NEET was not easy for a family that struggled to meet its basic needs. The cost of coaching, accommodation and food in a city like Kota was beyond what his family could afford.

His situation changed when he learnt about the 'Shiksha Sambal' programme run by Allen Career Institute and the L.N. Maheshwari Parmarth Nyas.

Suraj appeared for the selection test and was chosen for the programme. He received free NEET coaching along with free food and accommodation in Kota.

'Education Sambal changed my life'

The support allowed Suraj to focus fully on his studies without worrying about the cost of coaching or daily living.

Suraj says the 'Shiksha Sambal' programme gave him the support he needed to move towards his goal. Without the opportunity, he believes he may never have been able to come to Kota and prepare for the medical entrance exam with access to such facilities.

The year became a major turning point in his life. Along with his studies, he received accommodation, meals and other necessary support, allowing him to concentrate on his preparation.

His NEET result is now the reward for that effort.

From paintbrush to stethoscope

Suraj's story is one of determination in the face of hardship. While many students preparing for competitive exams can focus entirely on their studies, he had to balance education with work and family responsibilities.

The hands that once helped paint houses to support his mother may soon hold a stethoscope and treat patients.

For Suraj, however, becoming a doctor is only one part of the dream. He also wants to ensure that his sister gets the chance to complete the education she had to leave behind.

His journey from painting homes in Rajasthan to securing a place on the path to becoming a doctor shows how education, support and determination can change the course of a young person's life.

'Could Barely Spend Time With Child': Man in Australia Quits Big 4 Bank Job Over 'Toxic' Indian Manager

Divya Danu — Sun, 09 Aug 2026 15:30:18 +0530

Work pressure can sometimes go beyond office hours, but one Madhya Pradesh man living in Australia says the demands of his former job became so difficult that he eventually decided to quit. Ankur Sachdeva, who previously worked at one of Australia’s Big Four banks, has spoken in a video about his experience with his former manager that has now gone viral on social media.

Sachdeva alleged that his Indian manager regularly contacted him after working hours, often calling tasks 'urgent' and expecting them to be completed on the same day.

'Manager used to make my life difficult'

Recalling his time at the bank, Sachdeva said his manager would often call him after office hours with work that needed to be completed immediately.

“My manager used to make my life difficult,” he told Hindustan Times.

According to Sachdeva, his manager would tell him that a task was urgent and that he needed to finish it that day. He also alleged that he was sometimes made to do work that belonged to his manager.

He said almost everything was treated as urgent, leaving him under constant pressure to finish tasks within hours.

Little time left for family

For Sachdeva, the biggest problem was not simply the workload. He said the long hours began affecting his personal life. He explained that he had reached a point where he could barely spend time with his family. He particularly wanted to be present for his newborn child but found it increasingly difficult because of work demands.

The situation eventually pushed him to look for another job, although he said finding one was not easy because the job market was not strong at the time.

After waiting for an opportunity, Sachdeva finally received an interview call and was selected for a new role.

He described the new position as a good opportunity and said he now works for the Australian government.

Viral story sparks mixed reactions

His story has prompted a strong response online, with many people saying they could relate to his experience. Some users praised Sachdeva for leaving an unhealthy work environment and encouraged him to create a better workplace for his own team in the future.

Others said similar experiences were not limited to Australia and claimed they had faced comparable workplace pressure in countries including the UK and India.

One commenter said employees should understand the difference between putting someone under reasonable pressure and exploiting them.

At the same time, some users joked that Sachdeva could face the same situation from his own employees now that he has moved into a new role.

'Break the chain'

Several comments focused on what Sachdeva could do differently if he becomes a manager himself. One user told him to make sure he did not treat other employees in the same way and urged him to 'break the chain'.

Another wished him well and hoped he would become a manager whom people would be happy to work with.

While the reactions varied, many viewers agreed on one point: constant after-hours work can affect more than an employee’s professional life.

Japan's Brilliant Answer To Extreme Heat: A Giant Retractable Roof For Children's Playground | WATCH Viral Video

Divya Danu — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 14:24:52 +0530

A Japanese kindergarten has gone viral for installing a retractable roof over its outdoor play area to protect children from intense summer heat. The movable shade allows youngsters to continue playing without direct exposure to harsh sunlight.

A video showing a kindergarten in Japan using a large retractable roof to protect children from intense summer heat has gone viral, leaving social media users impressed by the simple but practical idea.

The video shows a massive shade structure being extended over an outdoor play area, allowing children to continue playing without being directly exposed to the harsh sun.

Japan experiences extremely hot and humid summers, with heatwaves becoming an increasing concern. For young children, prolonged exposure to high temperatures can make outdoor activities uncomfortable and, in some cases, dangerous.

In Japan, due to the unbearable and sometimes dangerous heat during the summer, this kindergarten has installed a retractable roof so that the children can play in the shade. pic.twitter.com/3kCUXpCibN

The kindergarten's retractable roof provides shade when temperatures become unbearable. Instead of cancelling outdoor play altogether, staff can extend the covering over the playground and give children a cooler space to run and play.

The structure can reportedly be opened and closed when needed, making it a flexible solution for changing weather conditions.

The idea has caught the attention of viewers around the world, particularly those living in regions that experience severe summer heat.

The viral video sparked a flood of positive reactions on X, with many users praising Japan's practical approach to children's wellbeing.

"Simple but effective logic in operation," one user wrote.

Another commented, "They live years ahead from all of us. I am always amazed how they think. Very practical."

One person said they wished their old daycare had something similar, while another suggested such structures could also be useful in hot desert regions.

Several users also raised questions about whether smaller versions of the retractable roof could be installed in homes, schools and other public spaces.

The video also started a wider discussion about how cities and schools respond to rising temperatures.

One commenter noted that extreme heat is becoming common across the world, but outdoor play is often treated as something that can simply be cancelled rather than something worth protecting through better infrastructure.

Others suggested that similar shade systems could be installed in playgrounds, sports grounds and other open spaces.

While some pointed out that trees remain one of the best natural ways to provide shade, many viewers agreed that the retractable roof was an innovative solution for places where permanent tree cover is not possible.

Struggling To Write A 15th August Speech? Easy Independence Day Ideas For Students

Divya Danu — Tue, 11 Aug 2026 14:43:21 +0530

A powerful Independence Day speech does not have to be long. Keep it short, creative and easy to understand. Add interesting facts and trivia to make your speech engaging, memorable and enjoyable for everyone. Read on for topics, ideas and tips.

Writing an Independence Day speech can feel difficult when you want to sound patriotic without repeating the same lines about freedom fighters, the Tricolour and India’s independence. For schoolchildren, the best speech is usually simple, personal and meaningful. Teachers can also use these ideas to help students prepare speeches for school assemblies, competitions and 15th August celebrations.

India celebrates Independence Day on 15 August every year, marking the country’s independence from British rule in 1947. This year, India will mark its 80th Independence Day celebration as the country completes 79 years since independence.

The first few lines matter. Instead of beginning with a long list of historical facts, students can open with a question, a thought or a short reference to freedom. For example:

"What does freedom mean to you? Is it simply the right to live independently, or is it also the responsibility to make our country better?"

Another option is to begin with a simple greeting:

"Respected Principal, teachers and my dear friends, today we have gathered to celebrate a day that changed the history of India i.e.15 August."

Keep the opening short and confident.

Students can choose a topic according to their age and speaking ability. Some useful Independence Day speech topics are:

The importance of Independence Day
The sacrifices of India’s freedom fighters
What freedom means to young Indians
India’s journey from 1947 to today
The role of students in nation-building
Unity in diversity
My vision for India
Freedom and responsibility
How young people can serve the nation

For younger children, “Why We Celebrate Independence Day” is easier. Older students can explore topics such as democracy, equality, responsible citizenship and India’s future.

Leave you audience with some thoughts. A good speech should teach the audience something. India became independent on 15 August 1947, following a long freedom struggle involving leaders, movements and ordinary citizens across the country - everyone knows this, but tell your audience with a trivia or historical fact that may leave a lasting impact.

Students can also mention Jawaharlal Nehru's famous 'Tryst with Destiny' speech, delivered during the midnight session of the Constituent Assembly on 14-15 August 1947.

However, do not overload the speech with dates and names. Two or three accurate facts are more than enough.

The conclusion should connect freedom with responsibility. Students can talk about respecting others, protecting public spaces, studying sincerely, helping people and contributing positively to society.

A strong ending could be:

"Our freedom was won by the generations before us. Our responsibility is to protect it and build an India that future generations can be proud of. Jai Hind!"

Quick tips for students and teachers

Keep it short: A two- to three-minute speech is easier to remember and deliver well.

Use simple English: Clear words are more effective than complicated vocabulary.

Practise aloud: Students should practise pronunciation, pauses and eye contact rather than simply memorising every sentence.

Sound natural: A speech should feel like a student is talking to the audience, not reading an essay.

End confidently: Look up, pause and deliver the final line clearly.

For teachers, one useful approach is to encourage students to connect the meaning of freedom with their own lives. That makes an Independence Day speech more thoughtful, relatable and memorable.

Google: Rejected 12 Times, Techie’s Determination Wins Internet! Read On

Indrakshi Samanta — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 23:08:13 +0530

Bengaluru: Getting a job in a top tech company is a dream for every software engineer. But 27-year-old Soumyadeep Paul's story is proof that if you don't give up on your goal, success is definitely possible. Soumyadeep, who currently works at Amazon, landed a job at Google after being rejected a whopping 12 times. His 13th attempt was the one that finally worked. He shared this incredible journey on the social media site ‘X’, and the post has now gone completely viral.

A long list of rejections from tech giants!

His tough journey wasn't just with Google. He was rejected by Amazon 3 times and by Microsoft a massive 16 times before he finally got offer letters from them. As for Apple and Oracle, he says he never even got a call back. Sharing what he learned from this experience, Paul said that getting into Big Tech companies is "literally a numbers game".

Soumyadeep's smart tips for job seekers!

He gave some valuable advice for those looking for jobs. "Don't just send your resume for any and every role. Check if your skills are a proper match for the Job Description. Get a referral from someone you know in the company, and directly email or message the HR and hiring managers on LinkedIn," he advised.

Inspiring people to not fear failure!

Soumyadeep's experience is a big lesson for today's job seekers, who often get anxious and lose hope after failing just one or two interviews. He treated every rejection as a chance to fix his mistakes and improve his skills. His long journey is living proof that with continuous hard work and the right strategy, you can open the doors to any big company, no matter how large.

Mixed reactions from netizens!

The post received mixed reactions online. While some people praised his grit and persistence, others felt that getting so many offers and opportunities is only possible if your resume has a degree from a Tier-1 college like an IIT or NIT, or the name of a famous company.

Delhi's Class 7 Girl Falls Ill, Spends Months in Hospital, Dies: Her Family Seeks Answers From Her School

Divya Danu — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 13:54:39 +0530

Parents and local residents staged a protest outside a government school in Delhi's East Vinod Nagar after the death of a Class 7 student. The student's family alleging that harassment and negligence by teachers had contributed to her deteriorating condition. The girl, a student of Sarvodaya Balika Vidyalaya in East Vinod Nagar, died in hospital on August 27 after undergoing treatment for nearly two to three months, according to claims shared by her family.

— Ashwani Sharma (@ashwanituntun) August 31, 2026

Reports claimed that the girl was punished by teacher who allegedly asked her to stand outside the class in Sun.

The case has triggered outrage and raised serious questions about student safety and accountability in schools. The family has alleged that the girl was repeatedly harassed and physically punished by a teacher. They claimed that the alleged treatment affected her mental health and pushed her into severe depression, after which she required hospitalisation.

However, the allegations have not yet been independently established and the school's version of events differs from that of the family.

Teachers deny allegations, say family was informed

According to statements shared during the controversy, school staff have denied abandoning the child or ignoring the situation. Teachers reportedly said that they had called the student's family and handed the girl over to them when concerns arose.

The family, however, has accused teachers of negligence and demanded a proper investigation into the circumstances surrounding the child's illness and subsequent death.

The matter remains highly sensitive, particularly because it involves a minor student. Any conclusions regarding the exact cause of her medical condition or death will depend on official findings and any investigation conducted by the concerned authorities.

Political row erupts as Saurabh Bharadwaj reacts

AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj also reacted to the incident on social media, sharing the family's allegations and demanding accountability over student safety in Delhi government schools.

'Just Let Me Pass Today': Bengaluru Woman's Corporate Life Anxiety Video Goes Viral (WATCH)

Divya Danu — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 20:51:13 +0530

Do you ever feel that the school is over, but the feeling of constantly being tested apparently has not left yet? A Bengaluru-based woman, Charu Gupta, has struck a chord with social media users after comparing corporate life to an endless examination that restarts every Monday. Gupta, who has been working for three years, shared a video describing the strange similarity between school life and the daily pressure of a full-time job.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Charu Gupta (@the_miss_gupta)

'Just let me pass today somehow'

In the video, Gupta said that despite leaving school years ago, she still feels as if she is constantly sitting for an exam.

“It’s been three years since I’ve been working at a job, but even today I feel like I’m in school and my exams are going on,” she said.

She explained that every working day feels like another test she simply has to survive.

Her thought process, she said, often sounds something like this: just get through today somehow, let the office day end, and then prepare better for tomorrow.

For Gupta, unfinished tasks feel much like the homework and assignments that used to follow students home after school.

The weekend dilemma many workers know well

The comparison becomes even more relatable when the weekend arrives.

Gupta said she often enters Saturday with a long list of pending tasks and decides not to make plans because she needs to finish them.

But, as she admitted with brutal honesty, she does not end up doing the work either.

Instead, the entire weekend passes in an uncomfortable middle ground. She cannot properly relax because the pending work is constantly on her mind, yet she continues to put it off.

The anxiety builds until Sunday night, when the approaching Monday finally forces her to open her laptop and complete only the most urgent tasks.

She then shuts it down and hopes she will somehow manage to get through another working day.

'I thought I was the only one'

Her video quickly attracted comments from employees who said the experience was painfully familiar.

“I thought I am the only one,” wrote one user.

Another person said they had worked for four years and still felt exactly the same way. One comment that drew attention came from a manager who admitted, “Bro I’m the manager and I feel the same.”

Several others spoke about the particular comfort of Saturday because, unlike Sunday, it does not yet come with the pressure of Monday morning.

Some users joked that corporate life is exactly like an examination, except employees are allowed to ask colleagues for help.

Gupta’s video appears to have resonated because it captures a feeling many workers quietly live with: the constant pressure of unfinished tasks and the inability to switch off completely.

Naiyya Saggi: One Career Move Left Her Grandfather Silent for 3 Months! Read Details

Indrakshi Samanta — Tue, 18 Aug 2026 23:18:56 +0530

Naiyya Saggi, the entrepreneur behind 'BabyChakra', recently shared a personal story about how her grandfather gave her the silent treatment for three months. The reason? She decided to move back to India after finishing her studies at Harvard, instead of settling abroad.

She opened up about this experience while talking to content creator Viraj Ala. Her grandfather was apparently protesting her decision to give up opportunities in the US and return to India.

Naiyya has a pretty impressive educational background. She holds a BA LLB from the National Law School of India University and an MBA from Harvard Business School, which she attended on a full Fulbright - J.N. Tata scholarship. She mentioned that the scholarship covered all her expenses at Harvard.

After finishing her studies at Harvard, Naiyya worked as a consultant at 'The Bridgespan Group' for about a year before returning to India in 2015. "I came back to change the world. I returned to India in 2015, built my first company here, and now I'm busy building my third," Naiyya said.

Inspired by the difficulties her sister faced during pregnancy, Naiyya Saggi founded 'BabyChakra' in 2015. In 2021, BabyChakra merged with MyGlamm, and she went on to become a co-founder of 'The Good Glamm Group' along with Priyanka Gill and Darpan Sanghavi. Currently, she is working on building a new consumer tech company called 'EDT'.

She clarified that she doesn't come from a super-rich family and that her parents were government employees. However, her decision to leave behind a promising life abroad for India was tough for some family members to digest, particularly her grandfather. "When I came back to India in 2015, my grandfather didn't speak to me for three months. He kept asking why I would give up a golden opportunity, a job, and a full scholarship in the US just to come back and start a business in India," Naiyya shared.

Today, the companies she has built are valued at over $1 billion. Naiyya strongly believes that Indian entrepreneurs and their teams can build huge, globally impactful companies right from India.

Bright Side Stories: This Rajasthan School Has Its Own Newspaper, And Students Run It

Divya Danu — Sun, 09 Aug 2026 16:24:25 +0530

A government school in Rajasthan's Tonk district has found an unusual way to bring newspapers closer to children in a rural area. PM Shri Government Senior Secondary School in Raholi publishes its own newspapers in Hindi and English, giving students a chance to learn journalism by actually doing the work. The Hindi newspaper is called 'Raholi Shiksha Samachar', while its English edition is 'Raholi Education Times'. Both are published in print and online.

Family Buys New Home, Then Discovers Hidden Walking Trails In Woods; Internet Loves The Secret Garden

Students run the newsroom

The newspapers are largely produced by students from Classes 10 to 12. From collecting information to taking photographs, recording videos and conducting interviews, students take part in almost every stage of the process. They also write and edit stories, prepare graphics and work on page layouts.

Some students work as reporters, while others take on roles such as photographers, graphic designers, news writers and editorial assistants.

Teachers remain involved as guides and mentors, helping students understand how journalism works and checking the content before publication.

An editorial board has also been formed to oversee the newspaper. It includes school principal Dr Yogendra Singh Naruka, teacher Pooja Patidar and selected students.

'Pahadi Kids Are Built Different': Little Girl Carrying 3 Water Cans Goes Viral, Video Sparks Debate

The idea came from a simple problem

Naruka, who has studied journalism, told news agency PTI that he noticed a lack of newspapers in many students' homes after taking charge of the school in Raholi. He also felt that the achievements and activities taking place at the school were not getting enough attention from larger newspapers.

He recalled that whenever a school achievement was covered in a newspaper, students would repeatedly read the report, show it to their classmates and feel proud.

That experience gave him the idea of creating a newspaper within the school itself.

First issue published in 2023

Before starting the newspaper, the school had published a book based on its three-year development plan during the 2022 academic session. After that effort, the first issue of Raholi Shiksha Samachar was published in 2023. Naruka initially paid for it himself. Teachers later came forward to support the project, helping the newspaper continue regularly.

The print edition is published monthly, quarterly or on special occasions, depending on the time and funds available.

Teachers fund the newspaper

The school does not receive separate government funding for the newspaper. According to Naruka, teachers voluntarily contribute towards its printing and distribution. Copies are then given to students free of cost.

The newspaper covers a wide range of subjects, including school activities, academics, sports, cultural events, social issues, environmental work and student innovations.

For the students involved, the project offers more than just something to read.

It gives them a chance to ask questions, find stories, work as a team and understand how news is created. It also allows them to see their own achievements in print.

In a school where many children had limited access to newspapers at home, the initiative has turned the school itself into a small newsroom — and its students into the people telling its stories.

In the viral video, the employee repeatedly asks his manager why he has been removed from the job. The manager reportedly replies that the client's process was not followed.

The employee immediately questions the explanation, saying he never received any email or communication from the client about such an issue. He then asks the manager to show him the email or any written proof supporting the allegation.

However, the manager is seen refusing to share any such document in the video. The employee also claims that even after asking for the reason in writing, he did not receive any official explanation.

Claims in the viral post

The caption shared with the video accuses the company of unfairly terminating the employee without assigning any reason. It further alleges that the manager himself admitted there was "no reason for termination" and questioned whether private companies could act without accountability.

These claims remain unverified, and no official statement from the company has been made public regarding the incident.

Social media reacts

The video quickly gained attention, with many users linking it to concerns over toxic work culture in the private sector.

Several users claimed that similar incidents happen in many companies and argued that employees deserve a proper explanation before being dismissed. Others said every termination should follow a documented process and that workers should receive written communication explaining the decision.

Some users advised the employee to seek legal guidance or approach the labour department if he believed company rules or labour laws had been violated. Others criticised what they described as arbitrary treatment of employees, while a few stressed that any conclusions should be based on verified facts and company policies.
