‘Economic offence of exceptional magnitude': Delhi HC denies bail to Amtek group ex-director Arvind Dham
The Delhi High Court on Tuesday refused to grant bail to the former promoter and director of Amtek group, Arvind Dham, an accused in a Rs 25,000 crore bank fraud scam, holding that that economic offences of 'exceptional magnitude' erode the 'fabric of economic governance and public trust and cannot be taken lightly'. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had arrested Dham on July 11 last year based on the predicate offence of a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) First Information Report (FIR) that was registered following written complaints from IDBI Bank and Bank of Maharashtra. The ED accused Dham of diverting loans through cheating, fraud and criminal breach of trust, causing a wrongful loss of Rs 673.35 crore to the banks. The Amtek Group had defaulted on loans exceeding Rs 25,000 crore taken from more than 15 banks. Amtek Group companies like ARG Limited, ACIL limited, Amtek Auto Limited, Metallic Forging Limited and Castex Technologies Limited, along with other group firms, were taken into insolvency, the resolution of which resulted in a massive haircut of more than 80 per cent for the banks, causing substantial loss to the financial system. Justice Ravinder Dudeja, refusing to grant Dham bail, reasoned that the twin conditions for grant of bail to accused under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act—that there are reasonable grounds to believe the accused is not guilty, and the accused will not commit any offence while out on bail—'are not satisfied' in his case. 'Granting bail at this juncture would risk compromising both the trial and public confidence in the justice system. The seriousness of the charge, the weight of the evidence, and the statutory scheme all point in one direction. The applicant has not shown circumstances exceptional enough to justify departure from that path. Continued custody is thus warranted,' the court recorded. Justice Dudeja further stated, 'The principle that economic offences warrant stringent treatment in bail matters is not absolute, however, in cases involving large-scale diversion of public funds the gravity of the offences assumes overriding significance. Given the serious repercussions for the economy and the banking sector, such offences undermine public confidence and harm depositors and creditors.' 'Granting bail too liberally in such matters risks sending a counterproductive signal…the allegations….pertain to an economic offence of exceptional magnitude, involving complex, deliberate, and sustained criminal conduct causing grave loss to public sector banks…,' he added. Observing that the ED's case is founded not on mere suspicion but on extensive documentary evidence and forensic audits which prima facie implicates Dham, the court further recorded, 'With the advancement of technology and Artificial Intelligence, economic offences such as money laundering have emerged as a serious threat to the financial system of the country. These offences pose a significant challenge for investigating agencies, given the complex and intricate nature of the transactions and the involvement of multiple actors. A meticulous and thorough investigation is essential to ensure that innocent persons are not wrongfully implicated and that the actual offenders are brought to justice.' Highlighting that the Supreme Court has repeatedly cautioned against leniency in cases involving massive public fund defalcation, and that the proceeds of crime in this case exceeds the recovery ensured through insolvency proceedings, the court underlined that Dham's proposed resolution plan, 'envisaging payment of only ₹35 crores against dues of over thousands of crores, reflects a near-total haircut to creditors. This underscores the irreparable nature of the alleged loss to the public exchequer. In such circumstances, premature release risks undermining efforts to secure accountability.'

A young girl who came to India from Pakistan after Partition prove Meet Mrs Bector, who left Pakistan on goods train, started baking bread with just Rs 300 now owns a business empire worth Rs 80000000000, she is famously known as... If you have the courage to keep trying after failures and the passion to reach your goal, you can even build a business from nothing. A young girl who came to India from Pakistan after Partition proved this true. With just Rs. 300 as investment, she went on to create a company worth Rs. 8,000 crore. Her life was never easy. She had to leave her homeland, settle in a new country, and was married at the age of 17. Soon, she became a mother of three and had the full responsibility of running a household. Yet, her desire to do something meaningful never let her rest. Between family duties and raising children, she started something small in her own courtyard that later made her famous worldwide. That small beginning grew into a company worth thousands of crores. This is the inspiring story of Rajni Bector, the founder of Mrs. Bector's Food Specialities and Mrs. Bector's Cremica. Today, most of us have tasted her company's products, bread, biscuits, sauces, mayonnaise, creams, and even ice creams. Cremica biscuits and English Oven breads are now found in almost every bakery and grocery shop across the country. Rajni Bector's early life Rajni Bector was born in Karachi, Pakistan, but after Partition, she moved to India with her family. Bector went to Miranda House and completed her graduation post her marriage in 1957. At the age of 17, she was married into a business family in Ludhiana. She later had three children. When her kids went away to boarding school, Rajni decided to start something of her own. She first took a baking course and then began making bread and biscuits right in her backyard. Who is India's ice-cream lady? Known today as India's Ice Cream Lady, Rajni Bector started with a small oven, baking biscuits, breads, buns, and cookies. People loved the taste of her products. With just Rs. 300 as investment, she quickly built a small bakery brand. The demand grew so fast that she couldn't keep up with supply. In 1978, Mrs. Bector received an initial investment of Rs. 20,000 from her husband, Dharamvir Bector. With this capital, she established a modest ice cream manufacturing unit in her backyard, and this was how Cremica was born. Cremica, which translates to 'made of cream.' Over time, her bakery and ice cream products extended their reach beyond Ludhiana, reaching the markets in Delhi, Punjab, and Haryana. By 1985, Mrs. Bector had dived into bread production, setting up a unit in Punjab that produced approximately 5,000 loaves daily. This number grew substantially to 50,000 loaves per day by 1989. But the real breakthrough was in the 1990s, when Cremica forayed into buns, biscuits and sauces. In 1995, Mrs. Bector secured a significant contract to supply burger buns to McDonald's, a partnership that represented a major milestone in her entrepreneurial journey. How big is Cremica today? After McDonald's, Cremica began supplying to Burger King, Pizza Hut, Papa John's, and even Indian Railways. Today, the company's products are available in more than 5.5 lakh outlets across 23 states. Its bread brand, English Oven, has become one of the leading premium bakery names in India. In 2020, Cremica was listed on the stock exchange. Today, the company's market cap is over Rs. 8,339 crore, and it has earned a strong reputation with a 4 out of 5 rating on Finology.

1 out of 5 millennials experience job insecurity in the workplace: Report
In India, one out of every five millennials has experienced job insecurity in their workplace in 2025. A new survey on Millennials in the Workplace 2025, by Great Place to Work, highlights a mixed picture of employee wellbeing, retention, and career growth. The report, which studies employees born between 1981 and 1997, shows that financial well-being remains the biggest challenge, with 1 in 4 millennials struggling. While 83 per cent of millennials report working in a psychologically safe environment, the remaining 17 per cent lack emotional and mental workplace support. The data reveals a clear link between psychological safety and loyalty—millennials who feel safe at work are twice as likely to stay long-term compared to those who don't. 10 emerging cities in India for job hunt Among the sectors, Financial Services and Insurance and Retail lead with the highest psychological safety, with the rating of 84 per cent, followed closely by Health Care, Information Technology, and Manufacturing & Production, each recording 83 per cent, as per the report. These skills are must for 2025 hiring opportunities On the other hand, sectors like Biotechnology and Pharmaceuticals and Professional Services show slightly lower ratings at 80 per cent, making them the least performing sectors in terms of psychological safety. Indian employees aim less stress, flexible jobs over career advancement Despite this, 15 per cent of millennials expressed intent to leave their jobs, with attrition highest in IT and professional services and lowest in retail and manufacturing. Job insecurity also looms large, as 1 in 5 millennials fears layoffs, particularly in biotech, IT, and professional services. The highest levels of intent to leave are seen in Professional Services (18 per cent) and Information Technology (17 per cent), indicating higher workforce mobility in these sectors. Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals matches the overall rate at 15 per cent, while healthcare and financial services and insurance record slightly lower values of 14 per cent each. India's best workplaces in manufacturing sector in 2025 On the positive side, 82 per cent of millennials received upskilling and re-skilling training opportunities in the past year, and 89 per cent were provided with adequate resources and equipment. However, only 47 per cent felt they had strong opportunities to innovate, suggesting organizations need to focus on fostering creativity alongside skilling.
