IE Incredible India: Ganesh Chaturthi - Mumbai vs Hyderabad

Mumbai’s Ganesh Chaturthi celebration, a multibillion-dollar cultural extravaganza, hits international headlines every year. Ganesh Chaturthi being the biggest festival of Maharashtra, Mumbai retains the crown of being the most popular destination for Ganpati puja in India. However, Hyderabad does not lag behind. Hyderabad’s biggest Ganesh idol (temporary) is the only answer to Mumbai where idols of Lord Ganesha are adorned with gold and silver ornaments weighing a few hundred kgs.

Locally popular as ‘Khairatabad Ganesh’, the tallest idol in the City of the erstwhile Nizams will command a breathtaking height of 70 feet this year, commemorating its 70th anniversary. A team of more than 150 artisans from different parts of the country is busy giving the finishing touch to the Maha Ganapati idol of clay at Khairtabad under supervision of the award-winning Sculptor Chinnaswamy Rajendran. Made from 35000kg of clay and 25000 tons of iron, the idol of cosmic dimensions, including 28ft width, exceeds Rs 1 crore as the cost of making in 2024.

The colossal laddu weighing more than 6000kg is another crowd-pulling attraction of Khairtabad Ganesh in Hyderabad. The ceremonial auction of the maha laddu prasadam invites bids worth lakhs. The highest bid may run into a crore or more. Anticipations are high that the laddu weight won’t be less than 7000kg in commemoration of the celebration’s 70 years.

Given its historical origin, Khairtabad Ganesh Utsav is more than a festive occasion of revelry. Shankaraiah, a freedom fighter, initiated the puja with a clay idol of one foot in 1954. With every passing year since then, the idol has grown taller. His purpose was to unite the people of the region, just as Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak founded the Ganesh Utsav in Maharashtra especially when the British banned public gatherings to check the freedom movement.

Today, Khairtabad Ganesh that leaves everyone in awe of its divine enormity is one of the most celebrated cultural icons of Hyderabad City.

Now AI and AI go hand in hand for customer empowerment. Air India has rolled out AEYE Vision, a new feature in its mobile app using AI-based computer vision technology to enhance passenger experience. AEYE Vision is primarily designed to empower customers with real-time trip updates, ranging from flight details to schedule changes, terminal change, baggage status, meal options, special services availability, and confirmation of wheelchair assistance. All you need to do is to scan your flight ticket or boarding pass, using the phone camera.

At the same time, Air India announced its move to introduce Wi-Fi across its fleet and network, starting with the brand new A350-900 which will make its debut to the USA on 1 November 2024. With Wi-Fi in the sky, the Tata airline will join the ranks of Singapore Airlines, KLM, Japan Airlines, United Airlines, Emirates, Lufthansa, and Virgin Atlantic. Soon, you will be able to stay connected in the air, continue WhatsApp chat, upload a selfie on Instagram, scroll through Google news, and check Indian Eagle’s Facebook posts & reels uninterruptedly.

After the recent addition of 7 regional languages to its IVR system for non-Hindi speaking customers, Air India lets you now stay up-to-date about your upcoming travel. In July, an NRI from San Francisco missed his flight to Lucknow from Pune, as he checked in at the old terminal not knowing that Air India’s domestic flights are taking off from the new terminal at Pune Airport. The new feature ‘AEYE Vision’ in the mobile app will let you know if your flight schedule or the terminal is changed, thereby eliminating the need to call the airline or your travel agent.

You can also scan baggage tags to track the whereabouts of your checked bags, from loading to unloading, through the new feature accessible on the top right corner of Air India’s mobile app. In the near future, you will be able to check permissible baggage dimensions, extra baggage fees, and other information, using the AEYE Vision feature of the mobile app for an informed travel experience.

IE Exclusive: These Golden Boys of India Create History at

Indeed, India has a fe**sh for gold, be it in the form of wedding jewelry or medals in sports. 2 September 2024 should be recognized as a day of gold for India at the Paris Paralympics, as two Indian Paralympians – Sumit Antil and Nitesh Kumar – clinched GOLD and finished atop the podium, unfurling the Tricolor high.

While Neeraj Chopra ended up winning silver at the Paris Olympics, India earned the gold win in javelin throw on one leg yesterday. The credit goes to Sumit Antil from Haryana, who has a prosthetic leg. When he was merely seven, he lost his father who served the nation in the air force. He wanted to become a wrestler and follow his father’s footsteps in the Indian Army, but a road accident got his left leg amputated and shattered his dreams when he was 17.

However, Sumit Antil was born to represent India in international sports. A few silver finishes led to his first-ever gold win at the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics. Since then, he has been clinching gold setting a new world record in javelin throw every time, despite the pain and discomfort in his prosthetic leg due to daily practice. He is now a six-time world record holder with 6 gold medals in his treasure trove. His acts of glorifying the nation were rewarded with the Khel Ratna Award and a Padma Shri.

Nitesh Kumar, another golden boy of India, sealed the country’s first-ever gold win in badminton at the Paris Paralympics by beating Great Britain’s Daniel Bethell in the Men's Singles SL3 final. Nitesh, a navy officer’s son, had nurtured only one dream – serving the nation like his father. But a fatal train accident severed his left leg and left him ineligible for the armed forces.

Playing for the country became his new goal after a visit to the artificial limbs center, where he saw differently-abled war veterans brimming with liveliness, restored his confidence to rise over physical limits. Since then, he has been flying high as a shuttler. Both Nitesh Kumar and Sumit Antil – the golden boys of India – were born to break barriers and cut through challenges.

“God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers,” said Rudyard Kipling. This proverb is true about the mother of Paralympian Nishad Kumar, who secured a podium finish for INDIA by winning silver in the men’s T47 high jump final at the Paris Paralympics. With back-to-back two silver wins in the Paralympics, Tokyo 2020 and Paris 20224, Nishad from Himachal Pradesh has emerged as one of the most promising high jumpers in the world.

It is his mother, a state-level volleyball player and discus thrower, who has been the iron support for Nishad since his right hand was accidentally severed in a grass-cutting machine at the age of 6. She never let him feel incapacitated. Being a sportsperson herself, she introduced him to wrestling so that he could build his physique and make the most of his physical strength without a hand.

Later, high jump became his calling. He started with sprinting (a short-distance race at the breakneck speed in a short period of time). His success in the 200m and 400m sprint events motivated him to try his luck in high jump. He has not looked back since his first gold win at the Asian Youth Para Games in 2017. He also won gold at the World Para Athletics Grand Prix 2021 and the Asian Youth Para Games 2022.


Nishad Kumar received the Arjuna Award in 2021 for glorifying the nation with his international achievements. Even today, he dedicates his wins and awards to his mother, who made him believe that blessings of the Supreme come in disguise.

Ultimately, India kissed gold this Olympic season. Avani Lekhara, a Paralympian shooter, stood up to the expectations of 1.4 billion Indians and won gold in women’s 10m air rifle for her record-setting performance. Avani from Rajasthan created history by winning gold consecutively twice: Tokyo Paralympics 2020 and Paris Paralympics 2024.

Avani, who was left wheelchair-bound due to her suffering from complete paraplegia after a car accident in 2012, proved that will power is stronger than one’s physical capacity or strength. With steadfast support of her parents, she took to sports. She regained her confidence and started with archery, but legendary Indian Olympic shooter Abhinav Bindra’s biography put a rifle in her hands. It gave wings to her flight that landed at Paralympics.

In 2018, she took the sports world by storm with her thumping feat of winning three gold medals at the World Shooting Para Sport World Cup. There has been looking back since then. Her score of 249.6 in the 10m air rifle shooting set a record at the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics, and she broke her own record with the score of 249.7 at the ongoing Paralympics in Paris.

Avani’s contribution to India’s treasure trove of gold medals has been recognized with the Khel Ratna Award in 2021 and a Padma Shri in 2022. She is studying law alongside athletic pursuits.

It feels good and warm when someone speaks to us in our native language or our preferred language of comfort. It makes communication between two or more human beings spontaneous, seamless, and personalized. How is it if you get to hear the most common expressions as below in IVR while calling Air India?

Ami Tomake Bhalobasi (Bengali)
Sadda Haq Aithe Rakh (Punjabi)
Kaay Zhaale? Thamba ek minut (Marathi)
Nenu baaga unnaanu, dhanyavaadaalu (Telugu)
Nīṅkaḷ eppaṭi irukkiṟīrkaḷ? (Tamil)

Jokes apart! Air India can now speak to Indian customers in 7 regional languages: Bengali, Punjabi, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam. The airline has expanded its regional language support to customers through the IVR (interactive voice response) system that can automatically detect your language preference without requiring you to choose one manually.

This upgrade to the IVR system that provided support only in Hindi and English earlier, is part of Air India’s strategy to make customer communication simpler and more personalized. It would reduce response times, thereby streamlining the process. The airline mentions that customers can seek special assistance in the newly added regional languages from 8 AM to 11 PM IST every day.

In addition to the regional language support enhancement, Air India has set up five new customer support centers in different regions to provide 24/7 assistance to customers worldwide. These centers have dedicated desks for premium and frequent flyers, ensuring quick response and special assistance to them.

If your non-Hindi or non-English speaking parents have any queries or concerns about their upcoming travel, they can call Air India themselves and communicate in any of the newly added 7 regional languages. Isn’t it a passenger-friendly initiative?

However, Gujarati and Odia are missing from Air India’s IVR system. We expect to hear “Kem cho, maja ma?” in the future.

After Indian-origin Salim Ramji, a Blackrock veteran whose journey had started from his father’s grocery store, took over the helm of Vanguard as its CEO in July, another Indian American is all set to enter the C-suite of a prestigious American conglomerate. Apple’s CEO Tim Cook has appointed Kevan Parekh for the executive role of Chief Financial Officer (CFO); a key career milestone in his pursuit of ‘American Dream’. Indian American Kevan Parekh will ring in the New Year 2025 with his entry to the C-suite of Apple Inc. on January 1.

Currently, Kevan Parekh is Vice President of Financial Planning and Analysis at Apple, headquartered in Silicon Valley. “For more than a decade, Kevan has been an indispensable member of Apple’s finance leadership team, and he understands the company inside and out. His sharp intellect, wise judgement, and financial brilliance make him the perfect choice to be Apple’s next CFO,” said CEO Tim Cook ebulliently.

His appointment as CFO coincides with Apple being on the cusp of AI evolution in terms of upgrades that the iPhone 16 series will soon be launched with. Apple Intelligence that artificial intelligence is known as at the tech behemoth in consumer electronics, is critical to the anticipated turnaround of the revenue that went downhill in the first quarter of 2024, a stark contrast to Apple’s global sales in 2023.

Parekh held senior leadership roles at Thomson Reuters and General Motors before he joined Apple in 2013. A graduate in electrical engineering from the University of Michigan, Apple’s next CFO earned an MBA degree from the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business in 2000 to gain business acumen with a focus on investor relations and capital management in the IT sector. He started his dream career as Director of Business Development at General Motors in New York. After nearly a decade, he moved on to Thomson Reuters as Vice President of Finance & Corporate Treasurer in 2009.

IE Aviation: Air India Pampered Premium Flyers with Souvenirs in 60s & 70s

Flying Air India was not only a luxury, but also a premium experience in the good old days that constituted the era of JRD Tata, the pioneer of civil aviation in India. During the period 1950s–1960s, everything about Air India was a standout, from the choice of amenities in premium travel cabins to the quality of inflight hospitality, the selection of air hostesses, their draping of saris, and service etiquette. Equally remarkable were Air India’s branding and marketing feats before the then government of India took over the airline.

JRD Tata, whose fe**sh for perfection has become a legacy in Indian aviation, was good at marketing and advertising. He was able to make Air India woo premium travelers from different walks of life and convert them into repeat customers, though the airline was younger and smaller than its competitors, including British Airways and Pan Am. He ensured the first and business class passengers would not only get lavish treatments on board but also carry a bit of the airline in the form of a souvenir.

In one of the first marketing moves, Air India gifted an elegant turquoise-shade briefcase to its premium class passengers. With ‘Bon Voyage’ embossed on a metallic plate near the latch, the briefcase-like piece of luggage became one with the brand identity of India’s first airline. The inner fabric of the ‘Air India bag’ had ethnic patterns inspired by the intricate designs in the traditional sculpture of Indian monuments. The briefcase became an integral part of the passengers’ experience with Air India and found space among their prized possessions.

Such unique presents as ashtrays designed by Salvador Dali, a renowned Spanish artist, and the briefcase helped position Air India as an international brand that was Indian to the core and had global appeal at the same time. The ‘Air India souvenirs’ would make those customers feel special. They treasured the ‘Bon Voyage’ bags so much that they began to use them as a utility chest for stashing property documents, tax filings, etc. However, the briefcase gradually lost its sheen and significance for the next generations.

23/08/2024

India’s PM Narendra Modi, during his visit to Poland on 21 August, paid homage at the Memorial of Jam Saheb Digvijaysinhji Ranjitsinhji Jadeja, the ruler of the then princely state of Navanagar in the Kathiawar region of present-day Gujarat. The memorial of Jam Saheb in Warsaw is a timeless testimony to the selfless service and unconditional hospitality that India has taught the world over ages.

Maharaja Jam Saheb had sheltered nearly a thousand Polish children, aged 2-7 years, and women who were put on a ship heading to British India due to the Soviet Union and Germany’s joint invasion of Poland at the outbreak of World War 2 in 1939. After the arduous journey for thousands of miles, they arrived exhausted and starved on the Arabian coast of India, but the then British Governor of Bombay denied entry to them. Maharaja Jam Saheb responded to their plight despite the British government’s objections.

The Maharaja became a fatherly figure to the Polish children. He provided for their everyday needs and education. He also hired Polish chefs to cook for them, as spicy Indian food inflamed their mouths. He went on to build permanent dormitories for them and transformed a royal guest house into a school where they were given education in the Polish language. Thus, a Little Poland was set up in Navanagar.

Decades later, Poland named a school in Warsaw after the Maharaja. The school is adorned with pictures of Indian heritage and culture. The Maharaja was posthumously honored with the “Commanders Cross of the Order of the Merit of the Polish Republic”. Even a documentary titled “Little Poland in India” was made on how the war-hit Polish children got a new lease of life and a second home in India.

IndiGo, India’s largest budget carrier and a rival of Air India, took a bold step for the sake of women passengers, especially when women’s safety has become a major concern. It is, perhaps, the world’s first airline to have introduced a female-only seating option that lets women travelers avoid sitting next to a man or between two male passengers in a row of three seats. Solo female flyers can choose to book seats next to other women, using the feature that shows women-occupied seats in pink color on the seat map of IndiGo flights.

This facility may not be available to women flying with male passengers or kids in the same booking. Introduced in May 2024 and tested until this month, the female-only seating feature has got positive feedback, IndiGo’s CEO Pieter Elbers asserts. IndiGo has rolled out this innovative feature not only across its domestic network in India but also on short-haul international flights.

This move by IndiGo has also met with criticism, though it ensures women travelers’ enhanced comfort and safety on flights. Some aviation critics and analysts labeled it as discriminatory. However, the airline defends the initiative citing incidents wherein some women travelers complained of indecent behavior of male co-passengers sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with them.

IE Exclusive: This Brother-Sister Pilot Duo Celebrates Their Bond of Love in Air

The story of Rikki Gupta and Krishnansh is an exemplary tale of siblings’ bond of love. The brother-sister pilot duo having grown up in a middle-class Indian family is conquering the skies as first officers with Akasa Air. Rikki Gupta is an exception to typical Indian families where daughters are usually not considered as role models for their siblings and/or cousins. Rikki has been a role model and a mentor to her only brother, Krishnansh, who is 13 years younger than her.

Rikki’s journey to the skies began at the age of 4 when she received a toy plane as a gift from her father. She chose to smash the glass ceiling in her family and became a civil pilot. Her aviation career took off with Jet Airways, India’s first premium airline. Krishnansh who has admired his elder sister and only sibling as a role model decided to follow her rather than joining the family business. Their father welcomed his decision just as he supported Rikki.

The brother-sister pilot duo once gave their father the best gift by operating the flight that he was traveling on. Their father was on cloud nine to see them together in uniform. It was a flight of memorable moments for the siblings too. Today, Rikki and Krishnansh are a support system for each other.

South Indian Cinema has made it big at the 70th National Film Awards announced today. Two blockbusters – 'Kantara' in Kannada (2022) and 'Aattam' in Malayalam (2023) – are crème de la crème on the list of winners at the 70th National Film Awards. While 'Aattam' tops the list of winners as the “Best Feature Film”, the “Best Feature Film for Wholesome Entertainment” title goes to Rishab Shetty’s 'Kantara'.

Both are thought-provoking movies dealing with different subjects. 'Kantara' that had entered the Oscars 2023 race makes a bold commentary on boundless greed prevailing in society through larger-than-life portrayal of the centuries-old Bhoota Kola tradition practiced by the Tulu-speaking community in Kasaragod district of Kerala and the coastal districts of Karnataka.

Anand Ekarshi’s directorial debut, 'Aattam' is a gripping drama on male hypocrisy over the harassment of a woman actor by one of her male colleagues in a theatre group. This cinematic masterpiece won the Grand Jury Award at the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles in 2023 for its compelling storytelling, profound narrative, and intense character portrayal.

Tamil Cinema also made the headlines at the 70th National Film Awards. Critics’ favorite filmmaker Mani Ratnam’s epic drama on the Chola empire, "Ponniyin Selvan I" won the Best Tamil Feature Film Award. It swept four other awards: Best Cinematography, Best Sound Design, and Best Music Direction. “Best Actress in a Leading Role”, one of the mainstream awards, went to Tamil Cinema for Nithya Menen who was cast against Dhanush in “Thiruchitrambalam”.

Kannada Cinema of South India has equally shone bright at the 70th National Film Awards. The “Best Actor” Award goes to the Malayalam Cinema. Rishab Shetty, the lead actor and protagonist in “Kantara”, has won it. Kannada Cinema has also won awards for Best Editing and Best Stunt Choreographer. Kannada Cinema has also bagged three coveted awards: Best Feature Film in Kannada for KGF: Chapter 2, Best Arts/Cultural Film for Ranga Vibhoga, and Best Debut Non-Feature Film of a Director.

Do You Know: How India Won President’s Official Buggy during Partition?

How many of you know the story behind the Indian President’s official buggy? The historic carriage in question is the gold-rimmed buggy that originally belonged to the Viceroys of British India. The buggy, among other valuables, was a tug of war between India and Pakistan right after the partition. Both the then newly free countries tossed a coin to decide on the ownership of the buggy, and India won it.

The horse-drawn carriage with gold plating was in use for giving a royal ride to the Presidents of free India at their oath-taking ceremonies until 1984. The assassination of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi put the buggy out of service due to security reasons. It was replaced by Limousines. However, the presidential buggy made a comeback to oath-taking events and other official ceremonies when Pranab Mukherjee became the 13th President of India.

The imperial buggy gained more prominence after President Droupadi Murmu and French President Emmanuel Macron rode it along the 1.8km stretch from Rashtrapati Bhavan to Kartavya Path on 75th Republic Day in 2024.

IE Aviation: Kolkata Metro to Inaugurate Its Airport Line This Durga Puja

Commuting to and from Kolkata International Airport would be easier starting from Durga Puja this year. Kolkata Metro, one of the firsts in the country, is likely to inaugurate its much-awaited extension to the airport in early October. Apparently, India’s oldest Metro transport system is way behind Delhi Metro in connecting the city network with the airport. However, the wait seems to be over.

With the construction of the airport line nearing completion, this is being hailed as the best Durga Puja gift for the City of Joy. Interestingly, the Metro line to Kolkata Airport goes underground, which will facilitate connectivity to and from the city center without congesting the surface transportation.

It would be a lot better if the Kolkata Metro line to Netaji Subhas Chandra Airport offers domestic check-in facility for airport-bound passengers in the future, just like two stations on the Airport Express Line of Delhi Metro have check-in facility for Air India’s passengers.

IE Exclusive: 16-year-old Indian Girl Scales 6 out of Seven Summits in the World

If scaling stupendous heights were a game at the Olympics, 16-year-old Kaamya Karthikeyan would have won a gold for sure. When Indian athletes were preparing for Paris Olympics in May 2024, Kaamya Karthikeyan achieved the most daring feat of scaling Mount Everest and became the youngest Indian to do so from the Nepal side. She summited the world’s highest mountain peak along with her father, Commander S. Karthikeyan. However, she is second to Malavath Poorna, a tribal girl from Telangana, who had summited Mt Everest at 13 years and 11 months in 2014.

With her successful ascent to the top of Mt Everest, Kaamya completed the completed the expedition to 6 out of the world’s seven summits. Come December, she will bid a goodbye to 2024 by unfurling the Tricolor of India at Mount Vinson Massif in Antarctica. A student at Navy Children School in Mumbai, she is inspired and encouraged by her father, who serves in Indian Navy.
