Donald Trump to the White House could have significant implications for over 1,500 individuals charged with crimes related to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots.

Swiggy piloted a services marketplace, Yello, for astrologers, therapists, etc, as well as Rare, a premium ticketing service for events and restaurants. While patently unrelated to Swiggy's core ensemble, the new entities are systematically attracting existing customers with newer offerings. Such next-gen business growth strategies, joysticked by scalable technology, can be classified as 'momentum diversification' (MD). Historically, brand diversifications were based on existing competencies, 'line' or 'imagery' driven. Line extensions are amply defined by the never-ending variety of aerated drinks in Coca-Cola's and PepsiCo's portfolios, not to mention the innumerable iPhone iterations. Imagery extensions originate from category-agnostic customer associations, such as couturier Giorgio Armani launching perfumes, or Porsche designing mobile phones. Line-ups scarcely conceal legacy connectivity, whether competency-based or appeal-driven, and are invariably subject to the scathing scrutiny of the boardroom and armchair marketers. MD is the outcome of a booming alliance of personal technology and customer-centricity. An established trust-cum-convenience equation with a substantial consuming class can be the foundation for unlimited opportunities, undeterred by draconian filters of brand suitability. Here, trust is the consistent delivery of measurable value, and convenience, a smooth process that facilitates access and choice.

Parliamentary committee meeting to resolve the issue of «discrimination» in determining the «creamy layer» for OBC reservation, the panel has scheduled another discussion for later this month, reported TOI. However, it has now emerged that the Parliamentary Committee on Welfare of OBCs had previously addressed the same issue in detail five years ago, ruling against including «salary» in the calculation of «income» for the purpose of reservations. Interestingly, the committee at that time was also chaired by its current head, BJP MP Ganesh Singh. Sources informed to TOI that the committee has summoned the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) for a meeting on November 28, where the issue of factoring in «salary» for backward candidates from public sector undertakings (PSUs) qualifying for the UPSC exams will be discussed. During Wednesday's meeting, MPs including DMK's TR Baalu, Congress' Manickam Tagore, SP's Ramashankar Rajbhar, and a senior BJP member criticised what they described as a violation of the 1993 Office Memorandum (OM), which explicitly states that «income» should not include «salary» or «agricultural income.» The controversy centres around the government's practice of including «salary» for candidates whose parents work in PSUs, citing the lack of an «equivalence of posts» with government positions such as Group A, B, C, and D, noted a TOI report.
