Wealth Is Not Earned, It's Unlocked: Red Envelope Intrudes Office Zoom Call
BusinessWire India
Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], May 26: The mystery of the Red Envelope continues to captivate people across India and beyond. In the latest twist, a member of the elusive Red Envelope Society reportedly infiltrated an ordinary office Zoom call, leaving participants stunned with the cryptic message: "Wealth is not earned, it's unlocked."
Adding to the intrigue, an audio leak has surfaced featuring one of the so-called receivers of the red envelope. In the audio, he shares similar experiences as others before him. He describes finding a red envelope placed on his airplane seat--no name, no address, only a QR code that vanished moments after opening. He also revealed a striking insight shared by the group: "They don't chase wealth; they create it."
Meanwhile, striking advertisements have appeared across major Indian airports in Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru. These eye-catching displays carry provocative messages like "Did your money make more money?" and "You're wasting six hours at the airport while others are growing their money." Each ad features a QR code that leads directly to the Instagram account @red.envelope.society, which has quickly amassed over 2,50,000 followers.
This was not the first strange event associated with the campaign. Just a few weeks ago, a passenger aboard a flight rapped a cryptic message mid-air about "making money dance", directing passengers to the above Instagram page. In other instances, people reported a man eating up his envelope in panic and a woman receiving one such envelope in her flight's seat pocket.
People have been trying to piece together clues from the Red Envelope Society's Instagram riddles and cryptic reels. Theories range from it being an elite financial mastermind group to a cryptic manifestation mantra being promoted. Some even suspect it might be an experimental art project designed to challenge perceptions around wealth and time. The Red Envelope is a mystery that's turning airports, office calls, and even daily routines into portals of curiosity, and perhaps, opportunity.

Indian banks' asset quality to stay stable amid global risks: Moody's
Global rating agency Moody's today said the Indian banking sector will be able to broadly preserve asset quality despite trade tensions posing risks for the global economy. Domestic economic conditions remain supportive of growth, and the non-performing loan (NPL) ratio is expected to stay at the 2–3 per cent level over the next 12 months, the agency said. The NPL of the Indian banking system stood at 2.5 per cent at the end of December 2024. Moody's, in a statement, said the government's capital expenditure, tax cuts for middle-income groups to boost consumption, and monetary easing will underpin the Indian economy. Also, a low level of dependency on goods trade will shield it from external risks to an extent. This will help banks preserve their asset quality. While overall asset quality performance would remain stable, there will be divergence in loan performance across different product types and lenders. Wholesale loans will continue to perform well as companies maintain good profitability and low levels of leverage, it added. Wholesale loans are a key part of Indian banks' loan books, along with retail and agriculture loans. The quality of unsecured retail loans will remain weaker than that of secured ones for at least the next few quarters. New NPL formation rates for secured retail loans have broadly stayed low, while those for unsecured loans have risen in recent quarters. As this trend persists, small private sector banks will continue to have weaker asset quality than large private banks and public sector banks, it added. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI 's) macroprudential measures have prevented excessive loan growth in the banking system. It raised risk weights for unsecured retail loans and exposures to non-bank finance companies (NBFCs) by 25 percentage points in November 2023. Growth in these two types of loans has slowed markedly because of the central bank's measures. While the RBI lowered risk weights for loans to NBFCs effective April 2025, we expect growth in bank lending to the sector to be in line with overall credit expansion, it added.

He noted, 'They were able to work with Michael to get into the psychology of who Smoke and Stack are... Since I've known these guys, they've shared one cell phone. You'd call and not know who'd pick up, but you always knew the other one was right there.'Jordan, reflecting on the creative process, said, 'What we kind of understood about identical twins is that one is more dominant in certain areas than the other. So discovering those little details was really fun and quite insightful from a process point of view.'Along with its digital release, a special featurette titled 'Thicker Than Blood: Becoming the Smokestack Twins' is available, offering a deeper look into the preparation behind Jordan's dual roles.
