‘Thank Her Everyday’ this International Day
MUMBAI: Recognising the unparalleled contribution of the lady domestic help, a unique campaign is being run by Roposo on this International Women’s day wherein they urge us to thank our domestic help. Supported by a special hashtag, it is being widely used on the social media platform.
Roposo, one of India’s favourite fashion social network, is set for another offbeat women’s day celebration. The platform has planned a campaign to acknowledge and honour the unsung female domestic help. This Women’s Day campaign will focus on thanking these women for their invaluable and soulful contributions to all our lives.
Every Indian household today has a female help to assist with the daily chores and look after the needs of all the family members. These women are the support pillars of our everyday lives but are often not given due credit and gratitude. With the objective to recognise the hard work of these wonderful women in our lives, the fashion network is starting a social media campaign providing everyone with a platform to express their heartfelt gratitude towards these female heroes. Users can upload happy images with their domestic helps with a few humble lines of appreciation, adding #ThankHerEveryday.
Roposo co-founder and CEO Mayank Bhangadia said, “Women across all strata need to be recognised for their hard work and feat. Female domestic helps form a vital part of our daily routine, and most of us find it difficult to function without them. This year’s Women’s Day campaign is our little effort to get people to recognise the good work of these women. Hope to see a great number of users expressing their gratitude towards their female domestic helps through the platform.”
Roposo social media manager Ravneet Kaur said, “Female staff in urban Indian homes is not an uncommon sight. I would like to believe that all of us, including our family and friends, treat them in a fair, just and warm manner. However, there are a lot of people who don’t, and what they don’t realise is that these women form the backbone of our daily lives. This Women’s Day campaign is centred around highlighting and thanking these women for their unmatched kindness and hard work.”

Hyatt chairman Thomas Pritzker to step down over Epstein ties
Thomas Pritzker admits terrible judgment regarding past associations
CHICAGO: Thomas Pritzker, the long-standing executive chairman of Hyatt Hotels, has announced he will step down from his role and will not seek re-election to the company board in 2026. The decision marks the end of an era for the hospitality giant, which Pritzker has led for over two decades.
The departure follows Pritzker’s public admission regarding his previous links to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. In a statement addressing his resignation, Pritzker expressed deep regret over the association, acknowledging that his failure to distance himself from the pair sooner was a significant lapse.
Pritzker framed his exit as a necessary step to protect the Hyatt brand. He stated that maintaining contact with Epstein, a convicted sex offender, and his associate Maxwell demonstrated “terrible judgment” for which there was “no excuse.”
The move comes amid ongoing scrutiny of high-profile figures in business and politics. Since Epstein’s 2019 arrest and subsequent death, a vast cache of Justice Department documents has detailed his extensive connections to global elites, many of whom continued their associations after his initial 2008 conviction.
Pritzker has served as executive chairman since 2004, guiding the hotel group through major transformation. He led the company’s public offering and shifted to an “asset-light” model, focusing on management and franchising. He also navigated the company through the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, showing strategic foresight.
While Pritzker highlighted the growth and resilience of the company under his leadership, the controversy surrounding his personal associations has made his continued presence on the board untenable.
As Hyatt prepares for a future without its long-time leader, the focus will likely shift to ensuring the transition does not disrupt the company’s current momentum. Pritzker will remain in his position until the 2026 board changes take effect.
