Star Cement reinforced its commitment to entrepreneurship and inclusive development by organising an Entrepreneurs Meet at the NEDFi Auditorium, Ganeshguri. The event drew strong participation from entrepreneurs, institutional representatives, industry stakeholders and aspiring business leaders from across the North East. The programme was inaugurated by Dr. J. B. Ekka, Additional Chief Secretary to the Government of Assam, as Chief Guest. His presence reflected the state government’s continued focus on enterprise-led growth. Sri Prafulla Hazarika, Retired Commissioner of Industries and Mentor of the Samarth Project, also attended the event. Addressing the gathering, Pradeep Purohit, COO, said the response to the meet highlights the rising ambition of entrepreneurs in the region. He stressed that collaboration between policymakers, financial institutions and industry bodies is vital to unlock the North East’s full potential. He added that such platforms are designed to help first-generation entrepreneurs build sustainable and scalable businesses. The meet created a shared space for dialogue and knowledge exchange. Representatives from DICC, NSIC, MSME, KVIC and SIDBI, along with legal compliance experts, interacted with participants. Discussions focused on policy support, financial assistance, incubation opportunities and regulatory clarity. During the programme, the official Star Samarth website was launched. The platform will provide information on incubation, training, schemes and upcoming initiatives. A key highlight was the signing of an MoU between Young Indians (Guwahati Chapter) and Star Cement Charitable Trust. The partnership aims to make Kamakhya Railway Station fully accessibility-friendly. One government school will also be transformed into a barrier-free campus. In addition, financial assistance was extended to Assam Gandhi Smarak Nidhi to support its women-led weaving centre. The Entrepreneurs Meet marked a significant step toward strengthening institutional support, promoting inclusion and fostering long-term socio-economic growth in the region.

Myntra is no longer just selling fashion online. It is building culture on the ground. The Myntra Glamfest Tour 2026 proved that in Assam. The brand made bold stops at two of the state’s biggest college festivals. And the response was massive. At IIT Guwahati’s Alcheringa '26, the concert ground turned into a fashion playground on February 1. Singer Shaan headlined the night. But it wasn’t just about music. Myntra FWD brought curated street-style energy to campus. Students explored experience zones. They tried makeovers and engaged with trend-led collections. The brand became part of the festival story. Then came NIT Silchar’s Incandescence '26 on February 16. The vibe was electric. Javed Ali delivered a crowd-pulling performance. Myntra once again blended entertainment with retail innovation. Fashion met fandom in real time. From a business lens, this is smart positioning. Assam and the Northeast have a young, style-conscious audience. By entering campus festivals, Myntra connects directly with Gen Z consumers. It moves beyond app notifications and into real-world engagement. These events were not just concerts. They were brand-building machines. Social media buzz spiked. On-ground participation was high. Students shared reels, stories, and experiences. Myntra is not waiting for customers to scroll. It is meeting them where culture lives. And in Assam, that strategy clearly paid off.

Budget 2026–27 puts Northeast India back in the spotlight—but attention alone doesn’t build economies. What the Budget offers is not a breakthrough, but a window. Whether businesses can climb through it depends on what happens next. For the region’s economy, higher allocations and infrastructure spending matter because they attack the Northeast’s oldest problem: isolation. Better roads, logistics and connectivity can shrink distances, lower costs and finally allow local businesses to scale beyond state borders. For MSMEs, this is not a bonus—it’s survival. This Budget lays out some new tactical moves for growth. There’s a visible national push to develop tourism circuits across the Northeast—especially Buddhist, cultural and eco-tourism routes—aimed at attracting both domestic and international visitors. That means more demand for hospitality, transport, trekking, local crafts and cultural enterprises. At the same time, funds are being earmarked for upgrading regional healthcare and emergency care centers, improving access in remote districts. This isn’t just about better hospitals—healthcare modernization fuels jobs in diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, training centers and allied services across states like Assam, Arunachal, Manipur and Tripura. Tourism and healthcare emerge as clear economic bets. Healthcare investment, meanwhile, creates stable employment and opens doors for private players in diagnostics, hospitals and allied services. Together, they signal a shift from grant-driven growth to consumption-led activity. Another core focus is on enhanced fiscal space and tax devolution, giving state governments greater flexibility to design local business incentives and reduce regulatory friction. Combined with upgraded digital infrastructure and support for MSME credit access, the Budget signals a shift toward enabling market-driven growth, not just subsidies. But here’s the catch: money does not equal momentum. The Northeast has seen ambitious budgets before. Projects stall. Funds move slowly. Businesses wait. Without faster clearances, state-level coordination and serious private investment, even well-funded schemes can lose steam. Economically, this Budget is an enabler, not a guarantee. It gives states room to spend, businesses room to grow and investors a reason to look East—but it doesn’t force outcomes. That responsibility now sits with state governments, local institutions and entrepreneurs. If execution matches intent, Budget 2026–27 could help the Northeast move from the margins to the mainstream. If not, it will join a long list of budgets that promised growth but delivered paperwork. The money is on the table. The clock is ticking.

Shares of Reliance Industries Limited took a sharp hit this week, slipping nearly 5% and extending losses for the second consecutive session. The fall came just a day after the stock touched a record high of ₹1,611.20, leaving investors wondering — is this a red flag or a golden dip-buying moment? The trigger? Rising global jitters after escalating tensions between the US and Venezuela, a key oil-producing nation. Markets fear that any prolonged conflict could spike crude oil prices, potentially squeezing refining margins. As a heavyweight in energy, Reliance was quick to feel the heat, even as broader markets like the Sensex stayed relatively resilient. Adding fuel to the volatility were reports claiming Russian crude shipments were headed to Reliance’s Jamnagar refinery. The company swiftly dismissed the claims, calling the report “blatantly untrue” and clarifying that no Russian oil cargoes were received in recent weeks. Even so, uncertainty spooked traders in the short term. But here’s the bigger picture. Despite this correction, Reliance has been a standout performer in 2025, rallying over 29% so far — far ahead of the Sensex’s 9% rise. More importantly, market experts view the current slide as sentiment-driven rather than fundamental. Reliance today is far more than an oil company. Its high-growth engines — Jio and Retail — remain largely insulated from crude price swings and continue to deliver strong long-term value. Analysts believe these businesses provide a solid cushion against geopolitical shocks. So, should you buy the dip? If you’re a short-term trader, volatility may persist. But for long-term investors, this correction could offer an attractive entry into a structurally strong stock that continues to dominate India’s corporate landscape. Sometimes, market fear creates opportunity — and Reliance might just be one of those moments. #RelianceIndustries #RelianceShares #StockMarketIndia #IndianStockMarket #ShareMarketNews #MarketUpdate #DalalStreet #Sensex #Nifty50 #StockMarketCrash #InvestorMindset #StockAnalysis #BusinessNews #FinancialNews #TrendingStocks #IndiaBusiness

Few Indian brands have achieved what Santoor has- instant recall without constant noise. The moment you hear “Haldi aur chandan ke gun samaye Santoor..”, memory does the rest. It wasn’t just advertising- it was a cultural cue, a daily reminder that beauty could be simple, traditional, and timeless. By 2025, Santoor quietly rose to the top of the soap market. It became India’s largest soap brand by value in a category that had been dominated by legacy names for decades. The Beginning: From Vision to a Bar of Soap Long before Santoor existed, the foundation was being laid. In 1945, amid India’s freedom struggle, Mohamed Premji laid the foundation of what would later become Wipro. Decades later, in 1986, Santoor was launched under Wipro Consumer Care as a soap grounded in Indian tradition. Its positioning was clear and uncomplicated: sandalwood and turmeric, ingredients already woven into the cultural understanding of skincare, promising younger-looking skin. This clarity was its biggest strength. While other soaps chased glamour, Santoor chose trust, tradition, and consistency. The Strategy That Changed the Game Santoor’s rise wasn’t overnight, nor was it accidental. Instead of pushing nationwide dominance immediately, the brand adopted a focused regional growth strategy. In the late 1990s, the brand chose a region-by-region growth strategy, building strength in one market at a time. This steady approach paid off. From a Simple Launch to Market Leadership Santoor entered the market with a clear focus on sandalwood and turmeric- ingredients Indian women already trusted. Their approach paid off as Santoor became India’s third-largest soap brand by 2006. Following this it was leading the market across South and West India. The momentum continued as the brand crossed ₹1,000 crore in revenue in 2012, moved up to the second position nationally in 2018 after overtaking Lux, and finally became India’s largest soap brand by value in 2025- surpassing even Lifebuoy.

Shares of ITC Limited are in sharp focus on Monday, January 5, after the stock ended the previous trading session at its lowest level in nearly three years. The decline follows the government’s announcement of an additional excise duty on tobacco products, effective February 1, 2026, triggering broad concerns over earnings visibility in ITC’s core cigarette business. The stock has witnessed sustained selling pressure, declining nearly 24% over just two trading sessions. On Friday, ITC shares slipped 5% intraday to hit a 52-week low of ₹345.25 before recovering marginally to close at ₹350.10, still down 4% for the day. Over the past five trading sessions, the stock has fallen more than 13%, while losses over the last six months exceed 15%. The excise duty hike has prompted several brokerages to reassess their outlook on the stock, citing margin compression risks and potential volume slowdown in the cigarettes segment, which remains ITC’s largest revenue contributor despite diversification into FMCG, hotels, and agribusiness. The sharp correction has also resulted in significant notional losses for state-run insurance companies with large holdings in ITC. Life Insurance Corporation of India, which holds a 15.86% stake, saw the value of its investment decline by ₹11,468 crore within two days. General Insurance Corporation of India and New India Assurance Company together recorded additional losses exceeding ₹2,200 crore. While ITC’s diversified portfolio provides some cushion, analysts believe near-term sentiment around the stock may remain cautious as markets digest the long-term impact of higher tobacco taxation. #ITC #ITCSharePrice #ITCStock #StockMarketNews #ExciseDuty #TobaccoTax #CigaretteIndustry #GovernmentPolicy #BusinessNews #MarketUpdate #InvestmentNews #IndianMarkets #ExciseDuty #TobaccoTax #StockMarketNews #BusinessNews

By Netive Business Desk | November 2025 The Assam Cabinet has given the green light to the Assam Startup & Innovation Policy 2025–30, signalling a new era for entrepreneurship and innovation in the state. With a total outlay of ₹397 crore, the policy aims to transform Assam into one of India’s top startup destinations by offering end-to-end financial and ecosystem support — from ideation to venture capital funding. Key Highlights of the Policy • Ideation Grant: Up to ₹10 lakh for idea validation and early-stage concepts. • Prototype Development: Up to ₹20 lakh for general startups and ₹40 lakh for deep-tech ventures. • Seed Fund: Up to ₹50 lakh (equity-based, with the government’s equity capped at 4%). • Venture Capital Fund: Up to ₹10 crore per startup for scale-up and expansion. The policy also sets clear eligibility norms — startups must be incorporated within the last 10 years, have an annual turnover below ₹50 crore, and maintain at least 50% of their workforce from Assam. Building a Full Startup Pipeline Unlike earlier fragmented initiatives, this policy provides a complete growth pathway for startups — right from idea validation to growth capital. It aims to create a self-sustaining ecosystem through incubation centres, mentorship programs, investor networks, and global market access. According to official sources, a state venture capital fund will be established to attract private investors, while district-level outreach programs will promote entrepreneurship beyond Guwahati. Ecosystem Voices Local mentors and founders have welcomed the move as both “ambitious and timely.” “Assam has the talent and ideas. What we lacked was a pipeline. This ₹397 crore framework finally provides that,” added a founder from an agri-tech startup incubated under Assam Startup. However, the community remains cautiously optimistic. Many stress that execution and transparency will be the true test of the policy’s success. “Funding is only half the battle — timely disbursal, mentorship, and post-funding support will determine real impact,” said another local entrepreneur. Strategic Timing for Assam The policy comes at a time when India’s startup ecosystem is expanding beyond metros, and regional innovation hubs are gaining traction. Assam, with its geographic advantage as the gateway to the Northeast and Southeast Asia, aims to position itself as a regional innovation nucleus. The focus on deep-tech and agri-tech sectors aligns with Assam’s strengths — leveraging its natural resources, biodiversity, and youthful talent pool. Challenges Ahead While the framework looks robust, experts highlight key areas that will determine its success: • Execution Efficiency: Streamlined and time-bound fund disbursal. • Mentorship Network: Strong incubators and industry linkages. • District-Level Inclusion: Outreach to rural and semi-urban innovators. • Transparency: Clear evaluation and monitoring systems. Without these, the policy risks becoming another high-value headline with limited ground impact. Key Takeaways for the Startup Ecosystem • Assam’s ₹397 crore policy marks one of the largest state-led innovation investments in Eastern India. • The initiative builds a structured funding pipeline — ideation to venture capital. • Aims to decentralize innovation beyond Guwahati and reach district-level entrepreneurs. • Prioritizes deep-tech, agri-tech, and sustainable innovation sectors. • Success hinges on execution speed, mentorship quality, and transparent governance. The Road Ahead If implemented effectively, the Assam Startup & Innovation Policy 2025–30 could position Assam as the startup capital of the Northeast, fostering confidence among young innovators, attracting investors, and setting a benchmark for other states in the region. As the startup ecosystem eagerly awaits detailed implementation guidelines, all eyes are on how Assam translates this ₹397 crore vision into real, investable success stories.

Haflong, Assam | 8-9th November 2025 Under the starry skies of Dima Hasao, the hills of Haflong echoed with melody, memory, and meaning — as the annual Jatinga Festival 2025  celebrated the union of nature, culture, and heartfelt tribute on 8th and 9th of November . This year’s edition wasn’t just a festival — it was an emotion. And when singer Shaan  took the stage and said, “Zubeen, I hope you heard me. Assam did, and they held me the way they would have held you,”  the crowd responded with thunderous chants of “Justice for Zubeen Garg.”  It was a moment that transcended performance — turning into a collective remembrance of Assam’s beloved music icon. The Spirit of Jatinga Held near the mystical village of Jatinga, known worldwide for its rare migratory bird phenomenon, the festival is an annual ode to Assam’s ecological wonders and ethnic heritage . Organized by the Dima Hasao Autonomous Council , the two-day celebration drew locals, travellers, and artists to witness a blend of environmental awareness and vibrant cultural identity. Jatinga, often called the “Land of the Falling Birds,” transforms every winter as migratory birds descend through the mist — a phenomenon that inspired generations of folklore and curiosity. The festival aligns itself with this natural spectacle, advocating for eco-tourism  and bird conservation . Nature Meets Culture This year, the festival embraced a “Plastic-Free Celebration”  theme, reaffirming its commitment to sustainability. Visitors enjoyed a lineup of local handicraft stalls, traditional food fests, and tribal dance performances from the Dimasa, Zeme, Kuki, and Khasi  communities. From the rhythmic beat of indigenous drums to the delicate handwoven textiles, Jatinga offered a sensory journey into Assam’s hill traditions. The festival also marked the return of the rare tiger bittern , spotted again in the region after nearly a decade — a sign of ecological recovery and hope for the local biodiversity. A Musical Heartbeat Music has always been the soul of Assam, and this year it found its emotional peak on the Jatinga stage.When Shaan performed Zubeen Garg’s timeless songs, the hills reverberated with emotion. “It felt like Zubeen was right there — in the wind, in the sound, in the love of the people,” said a fan from Silchar, eyes brimming with tears. The tribute became a unifying moment, reminding everyone that legends never truly leave — they echo in every heart that loved their art. Why Jatinga Matters Beyond its breathtaking scenery, Jatinga Festival stands as a symbol of unity  in diversity — a space where environmental consciousness, tribal pride, and art coexist. It’s not just an event for visitors; it’s a reaffirmation of Assam’s identity. As night fell over Haflong’s hills, lights shimmered through the fog — and birds glided silently overhead. Somewhere between the music and the mist, Assam found its harmony again. In the heart of Dima Hasao, the Jatinga Festival once again proved — Assam doesn’t just celebrate festivals, it celebrates feelings #JatingaFestival2025 #AssamCulture #JusticeForZubeenGarg #ShaanLive #HaflongVibes #NatureMeetsMusic #FeelAssam #DimaHasao #netiveevents

When the lights dimmed and a familiar bassline began to pulse through the screen, the world paused.The glove shimmered. The hat tilted. And somewhere between nostalgia and disbelief, the King of Pop — or at least his cinematic echo — moonwalked back into our lives. The teaser for Michael , the long-awaited biopic on the life of Michael Jackson , dropped this week, instantly igniting global buzz. For fans who grew up mimicking his moves in front of the mirror, it felt like a resurrection. For the younger generation, it was an introduction — a reminder of a performer who changed the language of music, dance, and fame itself. Watch the tease r: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrktXOjOtps A Teaser That Felt Like a Memory The 90-second clip doesn’t show much — but that’s exactly why it works. We see fragments: a young boy under a spotlight; a man silhouetted against a sea of screaming fans; the red jacket, the white glove, the moonwalk. Then, just before the crescendo, the crowd roars — and the word appears: MICHAEL . Directed by Antoine Fuqua , known for his gritty realism in Training Day  and Emancipation , the teaser carries both grandeur and grit. The choice of Jaafar Jackson , Michael’s own nephew, in the lead role adds a haunting authenticity — the jawline, the eyes, even the stage posture mirror the pop icon in uncanny detail. Fuqua described the film as “a journey through genius and loneliness,” a phrase that already hints this won’t just be a concert movie but an exploration of contradictions — of how brilliance often shadows brokenness. Behind the Curtain — The Making of ‘Michael’ The film has been years in the making. Produced by Graham King , who previously delivered Bohemian Rhapsody , and written by John Logan  ( Gladiator , The Aviator ), Michael  is backed by a team that understands how to turn a legend into a living, breathing story. Filming wrapped earlier this year, with Fuqua confirming that the project demanded “meticulous recreation of moments burned into global memory. ”From the Thriller  set to the Bad  world tour, every costume, every lighting cue, even the angle of Jackson’s dance shoes was studied from archival material. Insiders suggest the film covers everything — from the Jackson 5 years to superstardom, creative reinvention, and personal turmoil. “We’re not making a fairy tale,” one production member reportedly said. “We’re showing a man who gave his life to performance — and paid the price for it.” The Tightrope Between Truth and Tribute The teaser is undeniably electric, but it also raises questions: How deeply will the film address the controversies that shadowed Jackson’s later years? Will it confront the allegations that fractured public opinion, or will it remain a family-endorsed celebration of his artistry? Fuqua insists on “balance,” but with the Jackson estate  actively involved and a family member playing the lead , that balance will be a tightrope. Still, even the teaser’s silence on those issues speaks volumes — its focus is on the light, not the darkness. And maybe that’s what the world needs right now — a moment to remember what Jackson gave before debating what he took. The Echo in India and Beyond In India, Jackson’s legend isn’t just remembered — it’s woven into pop culture. His 1996 Mumbai concert was more than a performance; it was a national event. From Prabhu Deva to Hrithik Roshan, generations of Indian performers have drawn from his rhythm, style, and audacity. The teaser’s release has already sparked trending tags across Indian social media — #MJReturns , #MichaelBiopic , #KingOfPop . Clips of Jaafar recreating the Billie Jean  performance flooded reels within hours, proving that Jackson’s magic still crosses borders and decades. For many, watching the teaser wasn’t just about seeing a movie preview — it was like opening an old music cassette, feeling the whir of nostalgia, and remembering where the rhythm first hit. What Lies Ahead Set for release on April 24, 2026 , Michael  promises to be one of the biggest cinematic events of the decade. Whether it becomes a masterpiece or a mirror of controversy, one thing is clear: it has already resurrected the conversation around one of the most enigmatic figures in music history. As the teaser fades to black, one voice echoes from the crowd: "We love you, Michael!" And somewhere, between the beat and the silence, the legend moonwalks once again — this time, into the silver screen. #MichaelBiopic #KingOfPop #JaafarJackson #AntoineFuqua #MJReturns #NetiveStories

(By Rudrajeet Kumar Laskar, for Netive Brand) As a marketer, I usually spot these things fast — and this time, I couldn’t help but notice something intriguing. The moment the latest Oswaal Books Children’s Day campaign  — “Aaj Din Me Kitna Muskuraye?  started rolling on YouTube, my brain instantly went, “Ah, a Safari School Bag campaign!” From the first few frames, Safari’s logo and product visibility  were so dominant that I was convinced I was watching one of their back-to-school films. The color tone, the framing, the focus on the bag — everything pointed that way. But then came the twist — in the final scene, the Oswaal Books logo  appeared, leaving me pleasantly baffled. Watch on youtube : https://youtu.be/blIiULcToIA?si=g5qNC2DvWEzvOkG5 To double-check my instincts, I ran a small “focus group” of sorts — a few non-marketing friends and even my daughter. And guess what? Every single one of them thought it was a Safari ad  too. So no, it wasn’t just my marketer’s eye — the brand prominence was genuinely that strong. Now, was this a creative strategy  or an oversight ? Hard to say. If intentional, it’s a gutsy move — letting another brand get almost equal screen space in your own commercial. If accidental, then Safari’s marketing team must be silently celebrating this free visibility jackpot . Nevertheless, the ad itself deserves credit. With a powerful social message  and a moving narration by the iconic Piyush Mishra , the film goes beyond mere brand promotion. It tugs at emotions, celebrates learning, and leaves a lasting impression — once you realize it’s actually an Oswaal Books  story. Still, with 2 crore+ views in just four days , I can’t help but wonder how many viewers made it to that final logo reveal. Because if the brand name appears only in the last few seconds, it’s a high-risk, high-reward creative gamble. Intentional or not, Oswaal delivered the emotion , and Safari got the mileage  — making this one of those rare ads where everyone wins… even accidentally. #NetiveBrandReview #AdTalk #MarketingInsight #OswaalBooks #SafariBags #CreativeStrategy #BrandVisibility #PiyushMishra #YouTubeAds #WittyReview #BrandOverlap #MarketingPerspective #AdAnalysis
