Quote by Sardar Taranjit Singh on the result of WBJEE

APAI President & MD of JIS Group Mr. Taranjit Singh commented regarding the result of WBJEE, “This year the Joint Entrance exam was conducted at the right time and the results were declared on time too as expected by the students and academicians. The delayed announcement of results was a problem for the students who wish to go out of the state to study but it shall not be a problem this year. We wish that the counselling session starts soon in colleges and students get enrolled at the earliest. Ranking in the examination will matter for a brief period of time but there is no substitute for long-term dedication through which students could be successful in the future as well.”

This Father’s Day, Samsonite urges to #SayItWithSamsonite with their social media brand film

In this fast, bustling life, how often do you take a pause and share words of affection to your dad? For the few who are living away from home, a two minute chat with one’s father during the day can hardly encompass the love, care, and gratitude. It’s about time we change that, move on from our phone screens and say how we truly feel. This Father’s Day, Samsonite India consciously wants today’s generation to express love to their fathers, with #SayItWithSamsonite.

To celebrate Father’s Day, Samsonite India’s latest film focuses on remembering the best moments of one’s life and how a father is there to support us through all those moments. Father is there for his child through tough or tender moments. He is someone who is there to share a laugh with and spend time on a fun vacation.

The film brings about many emotions of a father-son bond, as the father is valued through many hidden notes and a surprise that awaits him. Watch the film to witness the adorable father-child bond.

Fruzzanté, launches in Delhi and Arunachal Pradesh

Fruzzanté, the one-of-its-kind sparkling 100% fruit wine that has introduced the Indian consumers to a unique farm-to-bottleexperience, is now available in the National Capital as well as in the land of the rising sun – Arunachal Pradesh. The brand from Hill Zill Wines Pvt Ltd (HZWPL) has been creating ripples in the domestic market already since inception.

In the wake of the pandemic, there has been a rapid surge in the demand for home consumption of high-quality alcoholic beverages (alcobev). Companies are moving in to encash this ready-to-drink (RTD) segment with a diversity of products. As one of the fastest growing alcoholic beverages markets, expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.8% between 2020 to 2023, India presents a great opportunity for alcobev producers.

Launched in 2017, Fruzzantéhas grown from strength to strength and rapidly expanded its footprint in different states across India. A ‘Make in India’ product, it is made from 100% premium quality fresh fruits grown in the state of Maharashtra. It is a gluten-free, vegan drink that has no added colour or flavour.

Speaking about this, Priyanka Save, Founder and MD, Hill Zill Wines Pvt Ltd, said,“Fruzzantéis a brand that truly represents the ‘spirit of India’. We have pioneered the farm-to-table concept wherein we have made alcoholic beverages out of a fruit like Chikoo which was almost unthinkable in the past. This has made us grow sustainably and enabled a large number of farmers to earn better livelihood by their association with us.”

HZWPL has also produced India’s first-ever premium dessert mead brand called Arkä. Arkä is made from honey extracted from beehives that is then fermented and presented as mead, a drink that has been mentioned in ancient scriptures dating back to 100 BC. After its success in Maharashtra, Karnataka & Goa, the brand will now be available in Arunachal Pradesh. Arkä Wildflower Honey and Arkä Rose are the two variants that would be available in Arunachal Pradesh.

Deepak Bhatnagar, CEO & Chairman, Hill Zill Wines Pvt Ltd, “Our plans were to reach whole of India by end of 2022, but pandemic slowed down the process. Since the end of 2021 we have managed to expedite the process, we launched Goa at the end of 2021 followed by Karnataka in 2022 and now we are ecstatic to enter the National Capital market as well as Arunachal Pradesh. Soon, we will also be unveiling Fruzzanté in Meghalaya, Sikkim, Assam,and West Bengal. I believe Fruzzanté will prove to be a refreshing gamechanger in the Wine industry!”
