Image
On the occasion of World Digestive Health Day, Aashirvaad Happy Tummy released its latest findings on India’s digestive health landscape, based on insights from over 6.5 lakh participants, highlighting a widespread fibre intake gap driven by low awareness and lifestyle habits. Aashirvaad Happy Tummy is an online platform by Aashirvaad Atta with Multigrains, which serves as a comprehensive guide focused on digestive health and fibre intake. While the world is talking about “Fibremaxxing”, the findings reveal that nearly 7 in 10 Indians are not even meeting their recommended daily fibre intake, pointing to a widespread gap in everyday nutrition. The issue is more pronounced among women, with over 73% falling short of recommended levels, compared to over 63% of men. Dietary habits appear to be a key contributor: only 1 in 4 people consume multigrains daily, while nearly 40% rarely eat fruits.

Travelport, Cognizant and Anthropic Collaborate to Power Travel Technology for the AI Era

Cognizant is working with Travelport on a strategic AI transformation that will deploy Anthropic's Claude to modernize the way Travelport builds, tests and maintains software across its travel retailing and distribution platforms.

Chennai’s Rising Summer Heat Drives Interest in Sintex TruPuf Water Tanks

Image
With Chennai experiencing another intense summer and rising rooftop temperatures across the city, Sintex is seeing growing relevance for TruPuf, its insulated water storage tank designed to help reduce heat transfer in stored water during prolonged exposure to sunlight. In many apartment complexes and independent homes across Chennai, overhead water tanks remain exposed to direct sunlight for several hours every day, often causing stored water to become excessively warm during peak afternoons. The issue is increasingly influencing how households evaluate water storage solutions, particularly during summer months. Experts point out that prolonged heat exposure can also affect water hygiene inside conventional storage tanks by encouraging algae formation and causing unpleasant odour, particularly during peak summer months. This is leading more consumers to explore water storage solutions that are better suited for extreme weather conditions. Yashovardhan Agarwal, Managing Director,...
