Parle-G: The humble biscuit that became the taste of India
Parle G is still going strong. This iconic product, for its ubiquity as well as longevity, can serve as a viewpoint to tell several stories — how a product ticks all the boxes to become so popular with the masses and remains so for long; how India's vast poor population has been a large consuming class too that supports big FMCG companies; how the long-held popularity of Parle G points at India's largest consuming classes remaining massed at the bottom as India failed to lift them out of poverty for long; and how the premiumisation of Parle G indicates Indians gaining more spending power. Yet, the most memorable Parle G story remains of a humble biscuit that became the most loved food item of modern India, defying shifting fashions of taste and divisions of class.From Gavaskar to migrant labourers Legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar had a weakness for Parle G biscuits and loved to eat them with his tea or coffee.

gradCapital launches $6-million fund for students' startups

The VC fund on Friday said it will offer a standard cheque of $40,000 (Rs 33 lakh) at 4 per cent equity in companies set up by students. gradCapital co-founder and CEO Abhishek Sethi said, «We are not in the business of finding and investing in deals, we are in the business of letting students be more ambitious and build a future, despite having a challenging education system. Students are more likely to start a D2C company instead of a quantum computer, and we need more of the latter.»

Torrent in top gear to close out Cipla buyout, in talks with PEs, banks for funds
Torrent Pharma is cranking up its efforts to put together financing to buy out the promoter family of Cipla, said several people with knowledge of the matter, emerging as a key contender to conclude the largest pharma sector acquisition in the country till date. This includes a likely Rs 8,300 crore ($1 billion) equity infusion from one or more private equity players, they said. Ahmedabad-based Torrent has reached out to several PE funds, including Advent International, Bain Capital, Warburg Pincus and CVC Capital, for a minority stake in a consortium. In addition, it is in talks with domestic shadow banks and mutual funds for Rs 9,000-10,000 crore ($1.1 billion) in share-backed promoter financing. Torrent’s founders, the Sudhir and Samir Mehta family, own 71.25% as promoters. That’s amongst the highest promoter ownership in Indian pharma and they are seeking to use that headroom to dilute equity to raise leverage. They are also in separate discussions with foreign banks — Standard Chartered, JP Morgan, MUFG, Citi and Barclays among others — to raise as much Rs 32,000-35,000 crore (up to $4.23 billion) against the cashflows of the target as acquisition financing. The lenders are expected to revert with funding commitment letters at the earliest, said the sources mentioned above. JP Morgan is also advising Torrent Pharma. Bain, Advent, Warburg and CVC declined to comment.
