Hurun Research and EdelGive Foundation today relea

Hurun Research and EdelGive Foundation today released the 2021 EdelGive Hurun Philanthropists of the Century, a ranking of the world's most generous individuals from the last 100 yearsJamsetji Nusserwanji Tata, founder of the Tata Group, has topped the EdelGive Hurun Philanthropists of the Century. The report pegs the current value of his donation – mainly to education and healthcare – at $102.4 billion with the start of his key endowments way back in 1892.Article by Puneet Wadhwa | Business StandardTata is the only Indian in the top 10 list. The other Indian among the top 50 is Azim Premji, former chairman of Wipro, who is ranked 12th. Bill Gates & Melinda French Gates, Henry Wellcome, Howard Hughes and Warren Buffett are among the top 5. Mackenzie Scott, the former wife of Jeff Bezos, Donated $8.5 billion directly to charities, most ever in a single year by a living donor. The ranking is based on Total Philanthropic Value, calculated as the value of the assets adjusted for inflation, together with the sum of gifts or distributions to date. The data was derived from publicly available sources and in certain cases directly as shared by the foundations.Jamsetji Tata, known for his ventures within the cotton and pig iron industry, set up Tata Iron and Steel Works Company (TISCO) in Jamshedpur, now known as Tata Steel in Jamshedpur. Founded in 1907, Tata Steel now operates in 26 countries including India, Netherlands and United Kingdom, and employs around 80,500 people, according to reports.“The total philanthropic value of Tata is made up of 66 per cent of Tata Sons, estimated at $100 billion, solely based on the value of listed entities,” the EdelGive Hurun Philanthropists of the Century report said.

An innovative business accelerator programme is no

An innovative business accelerator programme is not only helping people get a foothold in the hospitality industry but, as Justin Latif reports, it’s also changing the way South Aucklanders think about their local cuisine. When it comes to food in South Auckland, greasy corner-store takeaways or brazen fast-food franchises might spring to mind. Article by Justin Latif | The Spin Off NZBut three local female entrepreneurs want to change that perception. The trio are part of a wave of newly established, authentically South Auckland food businesses, being supported by a council-funded business-incubation programme called The Kitchen Project. Upending stereotypes, however, doesn’t come without some challenges along the way. Perzen Patel sells her Dolly Mumma products at the Parnell farmers’ market every Saturday. (Photo: Supplied)Beyond butter chickenAfter leaving Mumbai, India, where she ran a catering business with her husband, Perzen Patel decided she wanted to offer Kiwis an alternative to the watered-down curry pastes commonly found in supermarkets. “It has always been at the back of my mind that I want people to know there’s more to Indian food than just butter chicken.”She hopes her Dolly Mumma products not only introduce customers to a wider variety of curry flavours, but are also really easy to use.“Typically when someone wants to cook a curry, you either buy a sauce from the supermarket, or you go it alone, and you get 20 different spices from the Indian shop. “Hopefully we can be that middle ground. It’s a fresh product, not made with preservatives, using my grandmother’s recipes, but essentially it’s still a paste, so you can just tip and go.”She credits The Kitchen Project with helping her to hone her products as well as being a sounding board.“I call my business mentor ‘my therapist’ because I could call her anytime to get help with e https://parsikhabar.net/food/bringing-out-the-real-flavours-of-south-auckland-one-food-enterprise-at-a-time/25417/

(Shankar Narayan/HT PHOTO)The Byramjee Jeejeebhoy Medical College (BJMC), which is attached to Sassoon General Hospital, is celebrating its 75th foundation day on Wednesday, June 23. The hospital has played a pivotal role in providing tertiary care to not just residents of Pune, but also to districts in the state. Students from BJMC are recognised internationally for their published work in international journals and medical services provided by them at the hospital.The hospital had played a crucial role during the 2009 Swine flu outbreak and even now, before PMC could upgrade its hospitals with ventilators and tertiary care, Sassoon was the only government hospital providing tertiary care to Covid-19 patients. Dr Shashikala Sangle, aged 64, retired on May 31. She has been associated with the hospital for the past 45 years since she was a student and headed the department of Medicine. Dr Sangle said, “BJMC has definitely carved its niche as being reputed for generating the most honest and hardworking alumni and staff. I had a student who wanted to study further in the US and her examiners who saw her report and saw the BJMC name, without any further questions admitted her. The decades of hard work has earned this name. BJ has produced many important medical research works.”Dr Sangle also describes the Swine flu outbreak period. She said, “When we look at it in retrospect, Swine flu was not as big as Covid-19. We were able to manage it in just one building.

In 1909, Hamabai Framji Petit sold all her jewelle

In 1909, Hamabai Framji Petit sold all her jewellery for Rs 12 lakh to buy a plot in Bandra to establish an orphanage for Parsi girls. In 2021, the Petit family, which controls the trust that runs the Bai Avabai Petit Girls’ School, plans to exploit a prime 2.2-acre vacant plot behind the school near Bandra’s Carter Road, for a residential project. TOI has learnt the trust has entered into an agreement with a builder, KBK Realtors (Kotharis), to develop the land. According to property market sources, the plot has development potential worth a couple of thousand crores given its location. A south Mumbai-based chartered accountant with expertise in selling Parsi trust properties is believed to have initiated the deal. Article by Nauzer Bharucha | Times of IndiaThe state government too has lent a helping hand to the Bai Avabai Framji Petit Trust by deleting all the public amenity reservations on it. Under the city’s development plan, the plot was reserved for 1) municipal market with old age home and students’ hostel, 2) playground, 3) park/garden and 4) school. However, on March 12, 2021, the state urban development department issued a notification removing these reservations, thereby allowing the trust to develop the plot. While the reservation for the municipal market/old age home/students’ hostel has been entirely deleted, the reservation for playground, park and school has been relocated on another open ground nearby, which also belongs to the Avabai Petit school. “With the reservations for public amenities gone, this plot has suddenly become a gold mine because of its prime location,” said a property market source. Property market sources expressed surprise that reservations for a playground and school have been relocated on a plot located inside the existing school campus which is already used as a playground. One of the school trustees, who https://parsikhabar.net/mumbai/prime-bandra-plot-de-reserved-petit-trust-strikes-deal-for-housing-project/25409/

They hide within their folds the story of voyages

They hide within their folds the story of voyages at sea, the old trading routes and the rise and blossoming of an entire community Article By Shaeroy Chinoy | Elle Traditional Indian textiles and art forms speak volumes about history, the regions they come from, the culture and art, but often there is a deeper story. The Parsi Gara is one such great example.
