‘Good work isn't enough': Pune man shares 4 habits that got him promoted. Internet reacts
How do you get noticed at work? According to a Pune-based professional, it's not just about doing good work—it's about making sure the right people see it. Rohit Yadav, a tech professional, recently shared an Instagram post about feeling stuck in his career despite being consistent and hardworking. He eventually realised that his efforts weren't translating into visibility or growth. That's when he began experimenting with four simple workplace habits, small changes that ultimately helped him stand out and secure a promotion. His post, which has now gone viral, is sparking conversations online about visibility, performance, and how promotions really happen in modern workplaces. Yadav admits that the transformation didn't happen overnight, but building these habits gradually made a noticeable difference in how his work was perceived. Every Friday, he wrote down three achievements from the week, big or small. 'It helped me get clarity on what I'd accomplished and made performance reviews a lot easier.' Once a month, he'd message his manager with a short update focused only on outcomes and learnings. 'No fluff, just results. It made me visible without sounding like I was bragging.' Asking for growth feedback In one-on-one meetings, Yadav started asking: 'What do I need to improve to be seen as ready for the next level?' This opened the door to honest feedback and signalled that he was serious about growth. Even if it was just a comment or observation, Yadav made sure to speak up in team meetings. 'It built my presence. Silent contributors often go unnoticed.' Reactions online: Insightful or idealistic? While many praised his strategy as practical and actionable, others were quick to point out that these habits are most effective in supportive and transparent workplaces. In more toxic or biased environments, they said, such tactics might not have the same impact. A user wrote, 'I have tried some of your points, especially 2, never worked for me. I believe you need to have a supportive manager who actually listens and cares.' Another user wrote, 'One of my colleagues shared one of the three things mentioned... Manager said why are you sending these mails.. what work you did is not that big and impacting that you have to do all this.. this is your job Don't show off. I don't think these days any manager cares that much... With effort and smart work, you will only get work. Nothing else. So take breaks.. go for a chai-sutta.. go out for a walk.. chill with team mates... Atleast will have some memories.' 'With this i am getting more work and promise for next good increment,' the third user commented. Still, the core message resonated with many: hard work matters, but visibility can often be the game-changer.

‘GI proprietors can file suit': HC dismisses PIL by lawyers against ‘unauthorised use' of Kolhapuri chappal by Prada
The Bombay High Court Wednesday dismissed a public interest litigation (PIL) by six Pune-based lawyers seeking action against Italian luxury brand Prada for allegedly showcasing footwear resembling Kolhapuri chappal in its spring-summer 2026 menswear collection. A division bench of Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice Sandeep V Marne was hearing a PIL, which claimed that the Kolhapuri chappal was already protected as a Geographical Indication (GI) under the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act and is a 'cultural symbol' of Maharashtra. The court asked the petitioners what their 'locus standi' was, and what the 'public interest' was. It also asked them why the Sant Rohidas Leather Industries and Charmakar Development Corporation Ltd. (LIDCOM) of Maharashtra government, which was made a respondent, could not file the suit. The petitioners, among other prayers, sought direction restraining Prada from commercialising and using the 'toe ring sandals', claiming that the same was originally 'Kolhapuri chappal' and they cannot use the same without any authorisation availed from the registered proprietor or authorised users. The plea also sought compensation to the artisans' community for 'reputational and economic damages'. The bench orally questioned petitioners, 'You want an injunction in PIL? Let (the) affected parties file a suit. Why can't the proprietors of GI file it? You will have to tell us two things. What is your locus standi and public interest? Every person, whosoever is aggrieved by infringement of GI can take action in accordance with law. If you are an aggrieved person, do so. Infringement action cannot be decided in PIL. It will require evidence. It is not that the proprietor of GI cannot come to the court due to social or economic background that you (petitioners) have to espouse their cause. The proprietors can take their own action.' Advocate Ganesh Hingmire for petitioners responded that although they were not owners or proprietors of GI, they had worked for the community to protect their intellectual property rights, which were infringed due to Prada's action. Senior advocate Ravi Kadam for PRADA Group contested the maintainability of the plea, stating that the petitioners lacked locus standi (legal standing) to file it. He argued that the two leather industries or corporations from Maharashtra and Karnataka are jointly registered proprietors of the GI and have the right to file a suit for infringement in case the word 'Kolhapuri' is used in relation to footwear. After perusing submissions, the bench in its order noted that LIDCOM and Dr. Babu Jagjivan Ram Leather Industries Development Corporation Ltd. (LIDKAR) of Karnataka government, were registered proprietors of GI for Kolhapuri Chappals and 'they can bring an action against any unauthorised user for infringement' through a suit under the GI Act, if they believe PRADA unauthorisedly used registered GI. The HC said that such an action cannot be permitted to be agitated through PIL and that both the organisations were established to look after welfare of artisans and 'posses necessary wherewithal' for bringing action against PRADA. Dismissing the PIL, the HC also said adjudication of dispute on claims of similarity between two products and infringement required leading of evidence and same cannot be under through PIL. The HC clarified that the dismissal should not 'come in the way of registered proprietors of GI in Kolhapuri Chappal to initiate action against PRADA in accordance with law, if they so desire.'

Tech Mahindra starts the fiscal with caution and mixed signals
Tech Mahindra Ltd kicked off the fiscal with lower-than-expected revenue as low business outside its largest geographies dragged down growth, prompting the management to give out mixed signals on the road ahead. The Pune-based information technology (IT) outsourcer reported $1.56 billion in revenue for the April-June 2025 period, up 0.97% sequentially. Analysts expected better. A Bloomberg poll of 35 analysts expected the company to report $1.57 billion in revenue. A key reason for the slowdown in revenue growth is the business outside its biggest markets, the Americas and Europe. The company's revenue from markets outside its biggest geographies, which makes up a fourth of its revenues, declined 4.4% sequentially to $388 million. Still, much of the company's incremental revenue of $15 million was contributed by its communication business, which is also its biggest vertical, making up a little more than a third of its total revenue. For now, the management sounded cautious. 'The macro picture is still quite hazy. I feel that in certain sectors which have been, you know, impacted by tariffs and by demand activity, like auto, I think the sentiment is still not conducive to significant discretionary investments,' said Mohit Joshi, chief executive of Tech Mahindra, during the post-earnings press conference on Wednesday. Its commentary was similar to larger peer Tata Consultancy Services Ltd, which called out delays in decision-making and project implementation because of uncertain macroeconomic conditions. However, the third-largest IT services provider HCL Technologies Ltd said the macroeconomic conditions were stable and that it did not 'deteriorate as feared at the start of the quarter.' While TCS ended the first quarter with $7.42 billion in revenue, down 0.59% sequentially, HCLTech ended with $3.55 billion, up 1.34%. HCL guided for 3-5% revenue growth in constant currency terms for the full year. Like TCS, Tech Mahindra does not provide quarterly or yearly guidance. However, the management said it is too early to predict improvement or a further economic downturn. 'It's a mixed picture, and I feel that it's too early to say whether the tide has turned towards significant growth, or god forbid, towards a recession,' said Joshi. However, he added that deal wins will start ramping up from the second half. 'We expected that from Q2 onwards, as we said, and certainly the second half of the year, the deal wins that we've had will start contributing towards revenue growth rate,' said Joshi. Tech Mahindra reported new deal wins worth $809 million, up 44% on a yearly basis. In terms of geographies, the company gets almost half of its business from the Americas, which was also its best-performing market in the last quarter. A sore spot for the company was its net profit, which was $133 million, down 2.2% sequentially. However, a bright spot was Tech Mahindra's operating margins. Tech Mahindra reported 11.1% operating margins, up 60 basis points sequentially. One basis point is a hundredth of a percentage point. Chief financial officer Rohit Anand said the margins improved because of 'Project Fortius, operational levers such as favourable offshore mix' and 'continuous progress made on integration of portfolio entities.' The company's margin performance comes as a shot in the arm for its management, which seeks to increase its operating margin to 15% by March 2027 and grow its revenue faster than peers as part of a three-year road map called Project Fortius. Tech Mahindra aims to do so organically without any acquisitions, by investing in its key accounts and boosting growth in its non-telecom businesses, which have been the company's biggest cash cow in the past. At least one analyst was optimistic about the company's margin programme. 'Margin improvement despite revenue weakness is commendable and increases credence towards management's target of improving margins to 15% by FY27. We remain confident in the multiyear transformation ahead, which we back and remain positive about,' said Manik Taneja, executive director for IT services at Axis Capital. Still, the margin performance came at a cost to the headcount. Much like HCL, Tech Mahindra cut headcount by 214 employees to end last quarter with 148,517 people. HCLTech is the only company to have reduced headcount in the quarter. The company cut staff by 269 in April-June 2025 to end with 223,151 employees. As of now, TCS is the only company to add headcount last quarter. The country's largest IT service provider added 5,090 people in the first three months of the fiscal year to end with 613,069 employees. Churn in the lower end of Tech Mahindra's employee pyramid is followed by movement at the top. Since March 2024, thecompany's senior management has had at least 20 additions and exits. For now, this increase in headcount comes against the backdrop of a tariff war started by US President Donald Trump, coupled with geopolitical uncertainties. Both have put the IT expenditure of large companies, many of which count Tech Mahindra as their IT vendor, in limbo. The company's shares rose 1.94% to close at ₹ 1,609 on Wednesday. The 30-share benchmark BSE Sensex index closed 0.08% higher at 82,634.48 points. The earnings were announced after market hours.

Emcure enters distribution agreement with Sanofi for diabetes drugs
Emcure to distribute and promote Sanofi's oral anti-diabetic brands Amaryl and Cetapin in India, expanding access amid rising prevalence of uncontrolled diabetes Emcure added that it will engage with healthcare professionals and expand the reach of these therapeutic solutions for patients across the country. Sanket Koul New Delhi Pune-based Emcure Pharmaceuticals on Wednesday announced an exclusive distribution and promotion agreement with Sanofi India (SIL) for its oral anti-diabetic (OAD) products in India. Under the agreement, SIL will continue to own and manufacture the brands across its plants in India and internationally, while Emcure will exclusively distribute and promote SIL's OAD range, which includes well-established brands such as Amaryl and Cetapin. There will be no employee transition from SIL to Emcure as part of this arrangement, the Pune-based drugmaker said in a regulatory filing to the exchanges. Emcure added that it will engage with healthcare professionals and expand the reach of these therapeutic solutions for patients across the country. 'With our strong distribution network in India, Sanofi's trusted oral anti-diabetic medicines will be available to more patients who need them,' he added. Over 100 million Indians are currently living with type 2 diabetes and its associated complications, according to a study by the Indian Council of Medical Research–INDIAB (India Diabetes). 'Of these, more than 60 per cent are living with uncontrolled blood sugar levels and are at higher risk of developing complications over time,' said Eric Mansion, general manager (pharma) for Southeast Asia and India at Sanofi. He added that with Emcure's wide and deeply penetrated presence across India, the company is confident of tapping the full growth potential of Amaryl and Cetapin. The announcement was made post market hours. On Wednesday, shares of Emcure Pharmaceuticals closed marginally higher by 0.22 per cent at Rs 1,363.85 apiece on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).
