Stuck indoors, urban Indians found new ways to spend money.

There’s a popular meme on social media that goes something like this: Half of Delhi is in Goa, and the other half is at Sunder Nursery. It has changed shape and circumstances, but the essence remains the same.

India’s calendar of film premieres is usually packed. The country is one of the most prolific movie producers in the world, releasing nearly 2,000 films in 20 languages every year.

The Indian government has banned 267 Chinese apps, including the wildly popular TikTok and PUBG, fearing a threat to national security. But the country remains one of the largest users of Chinese surveillance cameras in the world.

India’s coronavirus lockdowns have only fortified the glass ceiling for the country’s female workforce.

Indians are hoping there’s more than one silver lining to the Covid-19 vaccine developments in the country.

India has another app to manage Covid-19 pandemic.

The Covid-19 pandemic has seen many companies pivot to producing personal protective equipment, ventilators, and masks. Now the Indian bull semen industry is looking at whether its refrigerated supply network—known as the cold chain—can help with vaccine distribution efforts.

A concrete Covid-19 vaccine distribution plan is finally taking shape in India.

The pandemic will perhaps be remembered as one of the most complex, near-operatic times in modern history. And true to an opera, young hearts found a way to meet, talk, and maybe even find love.

World over, developments around the Covid-19 vaccine are being watched with great anticipation. In India, that anticipation is now three-fold.

The pandemic came as an unexpected blow to the arts. Cinemas were shut down, music gigs went online, and culture spaces had to reinvent how they would engage their audiences from a distance.

As countries across the world sign up for various Covid-19 vaccines, India is waiting and watching.

A young Indian billionaire has put his might behind the AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine for Covid-19. But his vaccine effort now appears to be embroiled in a legal battle.

Any news surrounding the coronavirus vaccine conjures up images of scientists in masks and gloves, holding a glass vial. In India, that image is soon followed by horses at a chic ranch.

The last time I was in London was in 1997 on a family trip. I vaguely remember passing by Buckingham Palace and being enchanted by the possibility of an actual queen inside it.

With over 9 million cases, the pandemic appears to have made its way through the social circles of Indians.

No matter what your life looked like before Covid-19, your meals have adapted.

The day after Diwali brings with it a lull after weeks-long festive rush. And it brings bad air.

Digital streaming platforms have had a dream run in India. But that might soon change.

India’s burgeoning middle-class and young population is the perfect recipe for international fashion and lifestyle trends to take root. Sneakers are no exception. In fact, so hot are sneakers that India’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, wants a slice of them.
