  OSAMU SUZUKI: THE MAN WHO GAVE INDIA ITS PEOPLE'S CAR Osamu Suzuki, the visionary behind the iconic Maruti 800, played a pivotal role in introducing affordable small cars to India in 1983, a move that revolutionized the country's automobile industry. His daring vision and risk-taking attitude helped transform India's automotive landscape into a robust economic sector, modernizing industrial practices and fostering a strong supplier ecosystem. THE VISIONARY WHO BET ON INDIA'S POTENTIAL Suzuki, who passed away on December 25, 2024, is widely credited with putting India on four wheels. Known for his sharp business acumen, no-nonsense attitude, and frugal mindset, Suzuki was the man behind Maruti 800, often referred to as India's "people's car." At a time when the Indian car market was a tiny fraction of what it is today—under 40,000 units with one car for every 14,000 people—Suzuki took a bold step where many of his larger rivals hesitated. He believ...

The crowd at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground—close to 80,000 strong—stood and cheered as Reddy, with his helmet off and on one knee, took a moment to reflect on his journey. His father, present in the stands, couldn’t hold back his pride as the young cricketer's landmark moment unfolded. PROVING THE CRITICS WRONG WITH CONS...

  Liverpool Stay Humble as They Lead the Premier League, But the Feeling Is Different Liverpool’s stunning 3-1 win over Leicester saw them extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to seven points, with one game in hand over their nearest rivals. The win, which came after a tense 2-1 comeback, was sealed by Mohamed Salah's 82nd-minute strike—his 19th goal of the season. The Anfield crowd was in fine voice, singing "Liverpool, Liverpool, top of the league," as the Reds moved further ahead in the title race. However, while the fans may have been celebrating, Mohamed Salah was quick to remind everyone that it's still early in the season. "It feels different," Salah said after the match, reflecting on the team's position. "But the most important thing is we need to stay humble." The Egyptian star, who is entering the final months of his contract, expressed his hope that Liverpool could maintain this form and secure a Premier League titl...

  Manmohan Singh's Affection for Maruti 800 and His Deep Concern for the Common Man By Asim Arun Dr. Manmohan Singh, one of India’s most respected leaders, is often remembered for his intellect, humility, and his pivotal role in shaping India’s economic landscape through the 1991 economic reforms. However, beyond his profound political and economic legacy, there was a side to Dr. Singh that reflected his deep-rooted simplicity and his constant concern for the welfare of the common man. One such reflection of this simplicity was his unexpected affection for his Maruti 800, a car that symbolized his middle-class values. I had the privilege of serving as the head of the Special Protection Group (SPG) close protection team for Dr. Singh from 2004 to 2007. During those years, I had the chance to witness some memorable moments that reveal the essence of the man who served as India's Prime Minister. One such memory that stands out was Dr. Singh's love for his Maruti 800, a car t...

Australia won their first toss of the series, and their top four batsmen — Sam Konstas, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, and Steve Smith — all scored half-centuries.
