New Delhi, 21 February 2025: The Restaurant Cricket League (RCL), a unique annual men’s T10 cricket league supported by “Incredible India, Ministry of Tourism, Government of India”, officially commenced its much-anticipated 3rd edition with a grand inauguration ceremony featuring Indian Bollywood singer Aastha Gill at the Indira Gandhi Sports Complex, New Delhi, today. It also witnessed numerous dignitaries and national leaders in attendance, including Ashok Sharma, Secretary of State, DDCA as Guest Of Honour, Shri Rajiv Pratap Rudy (Member of Parliament, National Spokesperson – BJP, Former Union Minister & Honorary Chairman, Governing Council, RCL), Shri Rajeev Shukla (Former chairman of IPL), Shri Anurag Singh Thakur (Member of Parliament in the Lok Sabha), Mr Atul Wassan (Former Indian Cricketer & League Director, RCL 2025), Mr Rajkumar Sharma (Former Virat Kohli’s cricket coach and former Ranji Trophy player), Mr Shyam Sunder Aggarwal (MD, Bikanervala), Mr Anand Gupta (MD, Nathu Sweets), Senior Management from Balaji Wafers, Senior Management from Molecule. Their presence underscored the tournament’s significance in promoting both sport and social change.

Since its inception in 2023 the RCL has become a unique platform combining sports, social responsibility, and community engagement. With this year’s theme, “Serving Change, Delivering Impact, and Uniting Communities,” RCL remains committed to addressing critical issues like hunger and food wastage while celebrating India’s love for cricket.

The opening day of the tournament featured two exciting charity matches, where celebrity chefs and prominent social media influencers took to the field to emphasize the shared responsibility of all Indians in addressing food insecurity. In today’s charity match, RCL took a step further by providing 200 meals to people in need for every 10 runs scored. Later in the tournament, for every 10 runs scored, 100 nutritious meals will be provided to those in need, turning every boundary into a step toward a better tomorrow. To foster the excitement and the spirit of the finals, every 10 runs will provide 300 meals. This initiative aligns with RCL’s broader mission to create food banks and ensure access to safe, hygienic, and sufficient food for underserved communities.

Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Shri Rajiv Pratap Rudy (Member of Parliament, National Spokesperson – BJP, Former Union Minister & Honorary Chairman, Governing Council, RCL) said: “Food security and food wastage have emerged as pressing global challenges. As a nation, we must come together to address these critical issues. The Restaurant Cricket League is a much-needed step in this direction, aligning with India’s mission to combat hunger and minimise food wastage. Through the ‘Hunger Free Bharat’ initiative, RCL is not just promoting cricket but driving meaningful social transformation. By combining sport with purpose, we are fostering a movement that will leave a lasting impact on future generations.”

The league has also garnered support from 17 socially influential personalities, including Olympic medallist Yogeshwar Dutt, MasterChef India winner Chef Shipra Khanna, Chef Manjit Gill (President IFCA) which is also strategic partner of RCL and  51 popular social media influencers. With its social impact partner, The Adi Bodh Foundation, RCL is dedicated to the ‘Hunger-Free Bharat’ mission—a transformative national initiative that aims to address the complex dimensions of hunger and food security through multi-pronged strategies whilst supporting PM Narendra Modi’s vision of ‘Viksit Bharat’ and reinforcing India’s efforts toward achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal of Zero Hunger by 2030.

In a bold attempt to challenge the status quo, Vikas Sharma’s book “Female Gaze in Bollywood” shines a light on the Indian film industry’s rare and exceptional works that dare to defy the dominant male gaze. This meticulously curated analysis delves into beautifully crafted movies that shatter the established norms of the industry, paving the way for a more inclusive and equitable cinematic narrative.

For decades, the Indian film industry has been dominated by the male gaze, perpetuating stereotypes and reinforcing gender roles that subjugate women. However, Sharma’s book highlights the need for a paradigm shift, one that recognizes the importance of the female gaze in shaping a more nuanced and empathetic storytelling.

Through his book, Sharma skillfully examines the ways in which the male gaze has been ingrained in Indian cinema, often reducing women to mere objects of desire or marginalizing their experiences. He argues that this not only perpetuates gender discrimination but also limits the scope of storytelling, neglecting the complexities and richness of female experiences.

By showcasing films that challenge this dominant narrative, Sharma’s book offers a refreshing perspective on the Indian film industry’s potential for growth and transformation. “Female Gaze in Bollywood” is a testament to the power of cinema in shaping cultural attitudes and promoting social change.

The book provides an in-depth analysis of films like Gangubai Kathiawadi, Pagglait, Lipstick Under My Burkha, Bombay Begums, and Thappad, which showcase strong, independent female characters and challenge traditional gender norms. Additionally, Sharma critically examines movies like Partner, Dostana, and web series like Aranyak and Delhi Crime, highlighting the ways in which they reinforce or challenge the male gaze.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in film studies, gender studies, or Indian cinema. Sharma’s meticulous research and insightful analysis make “Female Gaze in Bollywood” a groundbreaking work that will resonate with readers and inspire a new wave of filmmakers to challenge the status quo.

In conclusion, Vikas Sharma’s “Female Gaze in Bollywood” is a landmark book that challenges the dominant male gaze in Indian cinema, offering a fresh perspective on the industry’s potential for growth and transformation. This book is a call to action, urging filmmakers to embrace a more inclusive and equitable narrative, one that recognizes the power and complexity of the female gaze.

The book is gaining widespread recognition, and its popularity is growing rapidly among literary scholars and readers. Notably, it has been adopted into the syllabus of several universities for film studies and cinematic studies. The book’s engaging narrative language has been particularly appreciated, making it an accessible and compelling read for a wide range of audiences.

India’s food and beverage (F&B) industry, a key employer of unorganized labor, is facing an urgent crisis. In his latest book, India’s F&B on Ventilator, Archit Singhal delivers a powerful analysis of the industry’s sluggish growth, deep-seated structural inefficiencies, and the need for immediate reform. Drawing from over a decade of experience, Singhal presents an unfiltered perspective on the sector’s challenges and provides actionable solutions for building a more sustainable and respected industry.

Despite its vast potential, the hospitality sector remains one of the most demanding yet underpaid industries. Workers face long hours, stagnant wages, and rising financial pressures due to inflation. India’s F&B on Ventilator highlights the glaring wealth disparity within the industry, where only a select few enjoy financial success while the majority struggle to survive. This book is both a wake-up call and a blueprint for change, urging stakeholders to take responsibility and drive meaningful reforms.

A Much-Needed Examination of a Neglected Industry

Singhal, an avid reader and seasoned industry professional, noticed a gap in literature comprehensively addressing India’s F&B sector’s current state. Motivated by this void, he documented his experiences and insights to create a book that acts as both an industry reality check and a call to action. The book examines several pressing issues, including:

  • The slow salary growth and widening wealth gap within the industry.
  • The outdated curricula and insufficient infrastructure in hotel management colleges.
  • The struggles faced by IHM college graduates in meeting industry demands.
  • The migration of unskilled labor from smaller towns to urban centers, only to be overworked and underpaid.

With India’s growing disposable income and an evolving food culture, the hospitality sector is expanding rapidly. However, a lack of structured training, education, and professional development continues to hinder progress. India’s F&B on Ventilator sheds light on the struggles of young professionals entering the field, many of whom quickly become disillusioned by the limited opportunities for career growth and recognition.

A Call for Leadership and Reform

One of the book’s most critical insights is the lack of strong leadership in the F&B sector. Many industry players are focused on short-term survival rather than long-term innovation, preventing the necessary collective efforts toward progress. Singhal urges a shift in perspective, advocating for a unified and structured approach to overcoming longstanding challenges.

Divided into 15 chapters, India’s F&B on Ventilator methodically explores industry gaps while providing in-depth analyses and practical solutions. These insights serve as a valuable resource for industry professionals, policymakers, and business leaders looking to create a more prosperous future.

A Reality Check for Industry Stakeholders

This book is an essential read not only for aspiring professionals but also for anyone currently involved in the F&B industry. By exposing the sector’s major flaws, Singhal calls upon business owners, corporate leaders, educators, and policymakers to take action and drive meaningful change.

Key takeaways from the book include:

  • The urgent need for fair wages and improved working conditions.
  • The importance of modernized education and training programs.
  • The role of government policies in fostering industry growth.
  • The mental and physical toll of the demanding work environment.

A Tribute to Industry Warriors

At its core, India’s F&B on Ventilator is a tribute to the countless individuals who dedicate their lives to the hospitality sector. Despite their resilience, discipline, and hard work, hospitality professionals often go unrecognized. Singhal acknowledges their contributions and urges them to be part of the change that will benefit the industry as a whole.

Availability and Ordering Information

India’s F&B on Ventilator is now available for purchase at https://architasinghal.com/home/ and on Amazon and Flipkart in hardcover, paperback, and e-book formats.

About the Author

Archit Singhal’s career trajectory spans from finance to hospitality, bridging two dynamic industries. With a B.Com (Hons), an MBA in Finance and Business Management from IIM Lucknow, and a CFA charter, he has successfully combined financial expertise with hospitality innovation. Singhal is the visionary behind over 10 hospitality brands, including Cocktail Week, Beer Week, Elixir Bar Solutions, To the Teaz, Chai Lelo, and the India Bartender’s Guild.

Awarded the 2021 Economic Times Inspiring Leaders Award for North India, Singhal is a prominent advocate for industry transformation.

His latest initiative, the IBG Bar Academy, provides training and mentorship to aspiring bartenders from underprivileged backgrounds, elevating bartending to a respected profession with standardized certification programs and fair pay.

Community and Stakeholder Engagement

The initiative was officially inaugurated at the MTD Office from 9 AM to 12 PM, in the presence of local municipal officials, stakeholders, community leaders, and volunteers.

A Call for Collective Action

With urbanization and waste generation rising, the need for sustainable and community-driven waste management solutions has never been greater. Making The Difference urges all residents, businesses, and local authorities to actively participate in this mission. Small changes, when adopted collectively, can lead to a massive transformation in the way waste is managed in urban areas.

India, 20 February 2025: SOCIAL, one of India’s most beloved neighbourhood café, has announced an exciting partnership with Veganuary, the global movement inspiring people to try vegan living. As part of this collaboration, SOCIAL is introducing a special vegan menu, available for a limited time (5th to 20th February) across all its outlets in Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chandigarh, Indore, Dehradun, and Pune.

With more people embracing plant-based eating for various reasons, SOCIAL’s new menu is designed to offer bold flavors and innovative plant-based dishes without compromising on taste. The menu features a mix of globally inspired and locally rooted dishes, including the Nutcracker Sundal, Aloo Chaat & Creamy Hummus, and Avocado Quinoa Crunch Bowl. For those seeking heartier meals, SOCIAL presents the Plant-based Meatballs Chinabox with Fried Rice and Hakka Noodles, featuring vegan-friendly meatballs tossed in rich sauces. Other highlights include the Tangra-style Protein Stir Fry, the Chopper Rice, and the steamed Plant-based Momos with banana leaf and basil.

Several of these vegan delights are also available for delivery, ensuring that customers can experience the flavors of plant-based innovation at home.

Welcoming the new menus, Prashanth Vishwanath- Country Director Veganuary India said “We all have the power to make the world a little kinder, greener and healthier this new year by trying to eat vegan. It’s great to see popular restaurants like SOCIAL embracing this opportunity and providing tasty, satisfying, sustainable options for the growing number of conscious consumers.

Commenting on the collaboration, Chef Shamsul Wahid, Group Executive Chef at Impresario Entertainment & Hospitality Pvt. Ltd, said “Crafting this vegan menu has been an exciting journey for us at SOCIAL. We wanted to prove that plant-based food can be just as bold, flavorful, and satisfying as any other dish. By using fresh, high-quality ingredients and innovative techniques, we’ve created a lineup that not only caters to vegans but also excites food lovers who are open to trying something new. Our collaboration with Veganuary brings a fresh perspective to plant-based dining, making it an exciting and delicious experience at SOCIAL.”

Veganuary, a global movement that inspires individuals to explore a vegan lifestyle in January and beyond, has witnessed exponential growth with millions joining the initiative. SOCIAL’s partnership with Veganuary extends this momentum beyond January, ensuring that plant-based dining remains accessible, exciting, and delicious for its guests. 

SOCIAL’s vegan menu is available now for a limited time, inviting food lovers across India to explore a plant-forward dining experience like never before. Whether dining in or ordering from home, this menu promises an indulgent, and flavor-packed adventure.

Over the last three years, an increasing number of Indian brands, retailers and restaurants have introduced vegan products and menus during Veganuary. This is a reaction to growing interest among Indians to eat in a way that is more sustainable and healthier. In fact, health is among the top reasons for Indians taking part in the Veganuary challenge. Additionally, Veganuary participants* reported that eating out was the biggest challenge they faced while trying vegan.

* *The survey was sent to participants who opted to receive Veganuary’s support through our 31-day tailored email series. At the end of the 31 days, we asked them about their experience. 18,129 people responded.
