Eveready

Eveready Industries India, Ltd (EIIL) (previously known as Union Carbide India, Limited) is the flagship company of the B.M. Khaitan Group. The brand Eveready has been present in India since 1905.

A black cat jumping through the number "9" on a silver and red label distinguish the Eveready battery's classic 9-volt battery. This handsome creature is curled around a plastic bank, and is all black except for its white nose, white eyes and a white triangle of fur on its chest.

Trivia:-

EIIL has the licence for the Eveready brand only in India, Bhutan and Nepal from Energizer Holdings. They created a new brand LAVA in 1999. 

In the mid-nineties, Eveready launched its first major advertisement campaign with the famous slogan "Give me Red". The advertising byline of the popular Red series of batteries is symbolic of the empowered urban lifestyle that the brand reflects. The company earlier roped Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bacchan which has been replaced by Akshay Kumar in the last year.

DRDO, BASIX, FICCI - BASIX Aahar to serve ready-to-eat roti, dal

Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), BASIX, a social enterprise group, and Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), have collaborated to launch Aahar - a pilot project comprising a range of ready-to-eat products. The collaboration focusses on food technologies developed by the Mysore-based Defence Food Research Laboratory (DFRL), part of DRDO. The objective of the project is to build women-oriented enterprises using food technologies of DFRL.

Aahar is the first pilot project that covers a set of technologies and products including ready-to-eat roti, and two variants in dal which are instant palak dal and masala channa curry mix. While a pack of two rotis is priced at Rs 15, a packet of dal will cost Rs 20.  Aahar is a hygienic, nutritious and convenient meal that tastes fresh with longer shelf life, and is quick to serve. While the roti has a shelf life of 15 days, the two variants of dal have a shelf life of 12 months under ambient conditions, according to Dr A S Bawa, director, DFRL.

Roy's Quizzing Baatein

What is common to Devdas, Don, Sholay? - Blockbuster Classics which lived in our memories and got re-created with modern flair and extravaganza....Critics debate whether the original was good or the re-make is better. While one does not get definitive answers for such questions, but everyone does agree to one thing - the plot remains fresh as ever.


We at Bizdom too are at attempting to launch or rather re-launch one of the blockbuster quizzing series ever created during the days of Yahoo-Group-Era-of-Quizzing. Starting from tonight we re-visit one of the most vintage collections of quizzes from one of the best quizzers in India - Shri Sudip Roy.
