The Better India’s Post

This response not only shatters stereotypes but reveals a deeper truth: India's richness goes beyond wealth—it's about community, culture, and mutual support. While some may view India through a limited lens, the nation excels globally in innovation, space exploration, healthcare, and sustainability. India never demeans another country for its struggles, and we don’t applaud a nation simply because of its wealth. India has always valued humanity over materialism, fostering an inclusive attitude that respects the journey of every country—rich or poor. It’s not about how much you have, but how much you contribute, how much you grow, and how much you uplift others. India’s richness isn’t defined by money but by our ability to make an impact, embrace ambition, and offer solutions on the global stage. We are hungry—hungry to innovate, to grow, and to leave a lasting mark on the world. 🌍 In a world that thrives on quick judgments, let's strive to dig deeper. After all, we are all so much more than the boxes we are put into. What’s your take on challenging stereotypes in your work or life? How do you show the world what really matters? #IndiaRising #BreakingStereotypes #PrideInDiversity #GlobalImpact #InnovationIndia #HumanityFirst

Am I the only one annoyed with the AI generated "Conversation Starters" that are tagged onto every post these days? It's like we have a three-year-old curating our LinkedIn interactions. Here are the two winners that followed a post (below) by one of my connections: {star} What makes qualifying for the Indy 500 challenging? {star} How does one become a Michelin rated chef? Read the original post (below) to understand just how completely beside the point those questions are. I don't want to pay to train your LLM, LinkedIn, and I want a way to disable that unwanted, unasked for feature. #sosayweall #tearsintherain #freelinkedin

I bet you don’t know what Michelin Star and Michelin Tires have in common 🤯 Michelin Star. You might think it's a prestigious accolade created by a been-there-done-that chef to maintain high industry standards. Not quite. Remember Michelin Tires with the funny little Michelin Man? Believe it or not - Michelin Stars and Michelin Tires are both founded by the Michelin brothers. Andre and Edouard Michelin released the first Michelin Guide in 1900 to create a demand for automobiles—and therefore, a need for more Michelin tires. The free guide included maps and instructions on how to change & repair tires. To encourage drivers to use their cars and explore a little more, the guide also included a list of „restaurants worth driving to“. More than 100 years later: 🛞 Michelin is still the market-leading tire manufacturer in the world. ⭐ And restaurants all over the world are pursuing the sought-after accolade All thanks to two creative tire company owners. 💡

Elevating the Spirits Experience with Satori & Dewar’s At Satori, we redefine the traditional “liquid to lips” strategy during our tasting events in Global Travel Retail. For us, it’s not just about sharing a great spirit—it’s about creating a connection and leaving travellers with an enlightened appreciation of the spirit we put in their glass. Take Dewar’s, for example: not only are they the world’s most awarded blended Scotch whisky, their story is one of unwavering dedication to craft. We bring this story to life by educating consumers about the artistry of Dewar’s unique double aging process for extra smoothness and its roots in rich whisky heritage. Our approach? We believe that knowledge builds loyalty. By helping consumers understand the origins, craftsmanship, and versatility of the spirits they enjoy, we spark deeper connections that extend beyond a single tasting moment. Whether it’s introducing them to Dewar’s 15yr blended scotch, Dewar’s Double Agent blended 16yr - a Travel Retail Exclusive or even sharing the taste profile differences of the entire Dewar’s portfolio, we’re here to help guide that consumer journey.

Choco Air ;-) Where every flight is a sundae! Mark Ross-Smith recent post about his daughter's feedback on a airline survey - she gave them a very low rating largely due to no chocolates on a flight, should get us all thinking! The best way to a person's (of any age) stomach and ❤️ is You got it right - Chocolate! Why do you think, Emirates is so successful. The secret - Chocolate! Emirates says that it serves over 40 million pieces of gourmet chocolate onboard its flights annually. Economy Class passengers enjoyed 35 million chocolate treats, while Premium Economy Class passengers were served more than 160,000 chocolates. Dear Mr. Studden - welcome aboard; would you like to have a chocolate? Dear Ms.X - you look very stressed. Please do have a chocolate. Just imagine a chocolate after your meal, rather than the normal gooey yuck that passes for a dessert (generally) Imagine a chocolate with your Bloody Mary? I wonder how that combination with go? Imagine also the branding collaboration possibilities? British Airways & Cadbury's American & Mars bars Virgin & Hershey's Kisses United & Snickers or maybe Prestat's London Gin Truffles Now, what's your favorite airline; sorry, let's correct that - what's your favorite chocolate? #aviation #travel

Michelin Guide: a great example of generating demand for a product/service… Michelin tire company started in France in 1900, but at the time there were fewer than 3000 cars in the whole country. To encourage demand for cars (and hence tires), they made a guidebook about all the good restaurants around the country that people could drive to. More driving = more cars and (especially) tires sold = more business for Michelin. ⭐️A very good restaurant in its category. ⭐️⭐️ Excellent cooking, worth a detour. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey.

ASHISH GANDHAM, SUNTORY GLOBAL SPIRITS. PART 2. In this second part of the interview with Ashish Gandham, Suntory Global Spirits' Managing Director GTR, we move into different territory. Key questions include: * How does he think that Suntory Global Spirits can improve as a business? * How ready are consumers in Travel Retail to discover more whisky brands, specifically world whisky brands? * Does he think that Suntory Global Spirits are over-indexing in the gin category? And, more broadly, is gin over-represented in global Travel Retail? * The company has invested heavily in RTD brands and formats. Where are the opportunities that GTR is missing out on? * Age statements seem to be making a return across Scotch whisky. Is this something that Suntory Global Spirits is committed to?
