Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, stated that the country should not be allowed to “descend into chaos.” The virtual summit came as the United Nations urged world leaders to invest billions of dollars in Afghanistan’s economy. US Vice President Joe Biden emphasized that aid should be delivered through independent international organizations rather than directly to the ruling Taliban.

But, so far, the money has largely been counted in millions of dollars, just to provide emergency food and medicine. Pledges include European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s promise to give €1 billion ($1.15 billion; £850 million) to Afghanistan and neighbouring countries taking in refugees.

Mrs. Merkel, who did not run for re-election last month and will resign as chancellor once a new government is formed, reaffirmed Germany’s €600 million pledge.

“None of us has anything to gain if the entire monetary system in Afghanistan collapses or the financial system collapses,” she told reporters. “Then humanitarian aid can no longer be provided. Of course, it’s never easy to draw the line, so to speak, but to look on as 40 million people descend into chaos because there’s no electricity supply or financial system – that cannot and must not be the goal of the international community.”

Syed Ali Asgar Razvi, the renowned entrepreneur who is currently heading the fast moving consumer goods business in which his family has been involved in for decades, is highly hopeful about the future of consumer goods industry in the successive years. He feels that as the year of 2021 had been a victorious advancement for them, they must continue to invest in winning brands that are in attractive categories in order to keep this winning streak going.

“The companies must prepare for a world that looks very different from today’s, as it is clearly driven by the ever changing trends. We need to rebuild our talent and potential thereby processing to adapt to a shift in the upcoming market. In the later years, upheavals in global consumer and supply markets are likely to produce as many losers as well as winners among consumer goods companies. We must prepare ourselves to be nimble enough to adapt to new consumer demands. Especially putting a huge importance on increasing online presence”, says Syed Ali.

As Syed Ali observes the recent technological support that has surged in these years, he believes that slightly automating the work in the industry and making using of artificial intelligence will significantly reduce the need for physical and manual skills as well as basic cognitive skills. This will inturn create new types of work with job growth in a range of high-skill roles. Partial automation should be kept mandatory as the workload keeps getting bigger with increasing consumption.

He adds to his idea for a brighter future by saying, “The companies must get ready to venture out of their comfort zones to explore new markets which will eventually help them to reap rich rewards. We must create strategies to manage the prices of their inputs. Using the channels of social media and online marketing as I mentioned earlier. They should be considered crucial for brand-building.”

Keeping an eye on the fluctuating market values, he also feels that there will be no development if you stay at the same place for a long time. Growth comes only when people are ready to start walking from their place of stability and get ready to take risks. “We need to keep our brands interesting. India’s FMCG sector is worth $35 billion and is the fourth largest of its economy. To be among the top tiers of the industry we always have to keep moving and change according to the demands of time and buyers”, adds Syed Ali.

A shocking turn of events occurred today, on the occasion of his 79th birthday. Amitabh Bachchan has refused to endorse a pan masala brand and has canceled the contract. He has also returned the fee he was paid for the promotion.

The official statement from the “the office of Mr Amitabh Bachchan” reads, “Kamala Pasand … a few days after the commercial was aired, Mr Bachchan contacted the brand and stepped out of it last week. Upon checking why this sudden move – it was revealed that when Mr Bachchan became associated with the brand, he wasn’t aware that it falls under surrogate advertising. Mr Bachchan has terminated the contract with the Brand, has written to them his termination and has returned the money received for the promotion.”

This comes after a national anti-tobacco organization asked Amitabh Bachchan to withdraw from the campaign, claiming that it would encourage young people to become addicted to tobacco.

A fan had also written to him on Facebook, “Hello sir, I have just one question for you. What is the need for you to advertise a paan masala brand? Then what is the difference between you and these petty artists?”

Responding to him, Amitabh Bachchan wrote, “I ask for your forgiveness. If someone is doing well in their industry, then one should not wonder ‘why am I associated with it?’ If that is a business, then we should think about our business too. Now, you feel that I should not have done this, but by doing this, I get paid and there are many people working in our profession, who are workers, and in a way they too get work and money. Besides, gentleman, please don’t use the word ‘tatpunjiya’. It doesn’t look good coming from you and it does not suit all the artists who belong to our industry.”

Surrogate advertising, for the uninitiated, is a type of advertising that promotes prohibited products in the guise of another product.

Preparations are being made for the same and tens of thousands of farmers are expected to join this prayer meeting.” SKM is the umbrella body of about 40 farmer organistaions. 

SKM has appealed to the farmer organisation and progressive groups all across the country to mark the occasion by organising prayer and homage meetings all over the country, followed by candlelight vigils in the evening.
