As a disclaimer, this piece does not serve as an endorsement of Kanye West’s “Slavery was a Choice” stance or his friendship with Donald Trump—or even his failed presidential campaign. We can say what we want about his antics and political views but his genius has ALWAYS been undeniable! Even though I’ve fallen out of love with Kanye West in recent years, watching “jeen-yuhs” reminded me of why I became a fan in the first place. It takes me back to my junior year in college when I rushed to the record store to purchase a copy of Kanye’s classic debut album,…

How you handle comments is incredibly important because they are a direct way to communicate with your customers, receive feedback, and build trust and loyalty—all the reasons you’re spending time on social media in the first place! That said, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel with every comment. For starters, I recommend developing community guidelines that can guide your overall response strategy. Create a document that includes things like: The voice, tone, and personality you’d like to use online Examples of responses to anticipated questions in your defined tone and style Guidelines specifically for crisis communications, like major shipping delays or…
The Disaster Management Act, which was invoked by GoI for the first time ever two years ago to spearhead the Covid response, will not be used beginning April. Subsequently, states will have more autonomy to shape public health responses. It’s a milestone as GoI is now convinced the level of threat has diminished. The numbers capture just a part of the story. Cumulatively, there were 43 million infections and around 5.2 lakh deaths. Both are likely underestimated as proxy data thrown up by sero surveys and the civil registration system suggest. Covid’s outbreak was a massive stress test on India’s…
In the era we all are living in today, we have a hugely successful tech business around.

Mealtimes used to be full-blown affairs, where you took the time to cook a large meal, sit down with your family, and eat at a leisurely pace. To many, this is considered the norm, and for others it’s something to strive for. But in today’s busy world, convenience and personalization for the people eating often wins. For example, grazing, or eating small amounts of food here and there as time allows (or as hunger demands!), has increasingly become a way of life for many who prefer it to sitting down for one big meal. It turns out we can also…

Good day Education Gauteng parents with children entering Grade 1 and Grade 8 in 2017 recently got a first-hand taste of the chaos, fear and uncertainty that can surround the flawed implementation of a fundamentally good idea. When changes happen, especially BIG ones, stakeholder engagement and support are critical elements for smooth-running and success. It’s fair to say that the Gauteng MEC for education, Panyaza Lesufi, made little effort to get all stakeholders on board, and instead opted for a “brute-force, my-way-or-the-highway” approach. Gauteng MEC for Education – Panyaza Lesufi There’s little doubt that his “online registration is inevitable” assertion…
