This Friendship Day, Parle-G positions mom as a bestie
Biscuit brand Parle-G has released its Friendship Day film. This year's campaign is to pause and reflect on the bonds that weren't chosen , but were always there . Mayank Shah, vice president, Parle Products, said, 'Friendship isn't just about who we laugh with. It's also about those who quietly stand by us through every step of life.' He added, "Through this film, we honour not just our bonds with friends, but the deeper bonds of companionship with those who are our silent pillars of support—our mothers, sisters, mentors—who've moulded us with love and care. The fact that we understand and empathise with our near and dear ones comes through naturally in this film.' Vinod Kunj, founder and chief creative officer, Thought Blurb Communications , said ,'This film reflects a generational shift in parenting. That change in perspective lies at the heart of our film.' Renu Somani, national creative director, Thought Blurb Communications said, 'Today's mother isn't just parenting, she's growing with her teen. She's evolving, unlearning, listening, and effortlessly stepping into the role of a friend. And what's beautiful is, it's mutual. This film is a celebration of the quiet, unspoken friendship that so many mothers and daughters share today.' The film shows a child's worry in modern times and sacrifices of the mother. The film begins with a daughter segregating friendship bands for her close friends and getting confused on who can get the title of a 'bestie'. The conversation then revolves around how her mother would have spent her days with friends, without the pressures of the current times. It shares the essence of the bond between a mother and her daughter that evolves continuously, into a lifetime bond full of so many emotions . Watch the film on ET Brand Equity here:

Meet Sabih Khan, UP man from Moradabad who is the new Chief Operating Officer of Apple, CEO Tim Cook says, He's a brilliant...' Apple has named Sabih Khan, an executive of Indian origin who has worked at the company for nearly 30 years, as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO). He will take over from Jeff Williams, who has held the role since 2015. This change is part of a planned leadership shift, and Khan will officially begin his new role later this month. Khan is currently Apple's Senior Vice President of Operations and has played a major role in building and managing Apple's supply chain. Over the years, he has helped bring in new ways of manufacturing, expanded Apple's production in the U.S., and kept things running smoothly even during global challenges. Apple CEO Tim Cook praised Khan, calling him a smart and thoughtful leader who has helped shape how Apple builds its products. 'He's been key in making sure Apple can respond quickly when the world changes,' Cook said. Jeff Williams, who will continue working at Apple until his retirement later this year, also praised Khan. 'I've worked with Sabih for 27 years,' Williams said. 'He's the best operations leader I know.' Once Williams retires, Apple's design team will report directly to CEO Tim Cook. Who is Sabih Khan? Sabih Khan is now Apple's new Chief Operating Officer. He was born in 1966 in Moradabad in Uttar Pradesh. During his school years, he moved to Singapore, and later went to the United States for higher studies. He studied both economics and mechanical engineering at Tufts University, and then earned a master's degree in mechanical engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). Sabih started his career at GE Plastics, and joined Apple in 1995 as part of the procurement team, the group that helps the company buy the parts it needs to build its products. Over the years, he became one of the main people behind Apple's global supply chain, helping make sure that Apple products are made and delivered efficiently and responsibly. Sabih Khan is fond of Hindi songs and one of his relatives says he loves Parle-G biscuits, as reported by Aaj Tak. His promotion comes at a time when Apple is focusing more on India not just as a big market to sell products, but also as an important place to make them.
