This event allowed us to showcase our technology and how innovation can improve everyday lives. For instance, Scotch-Brite™ is no longer only a green pad for dishwashing. Imagine not ending up poking your hands with tough steel scrubbers to remove those daily tough stains in your utensils – brought to life with a new, economical scrubber Scotch-Brite™ Super Strong. Imagine not having to use many makeshift tools to keep your bathroom looking new – brought to life with our uniquely designed Scotch-Brite™ Bathroom Scrubber Brush. And imagine a home where creativity knows no bounds when it comes to home décor – where instead of being limited with the only option as drilling nails into the wall, you get a choice of 3M mounting solutions like the strong Scotch® double-sided tapes range, or the Command™ range of hooks and strips which can both hold strongly and come off cleanly.
Every aspect of our products is designed with the aim of improving consumers’ lives and making things easier for them.

NDTV launches Datafy for data-driven journalism
New platform uses AI and analytics to cut through noise in divided times.
MUMBAI: NDTV just dropped the mic on opinions because when facts hit harder than hot takes, even the debates start sweating. In an era where loud voices often drown out clear ones, NDTV has launched Datafy, a new platform dedicated to data-driven journalism and storytelling. Powered by big data science, advanced analytics and artificial intelligence, Datafy aims to turn complex datasets into accessible, evidence-based narratives that rise above partisan noise.
The initiative places verified facts and rigorous analysis at the centre of public conversation, offering interactive dashboards, election trackers, economic deep-dives, policy breakdowns and global trend mapping. It will support NDTV’s coverage across broadcast and digital platforms on major stories in elections, economics, geopolitics, sports and beyond.
NDTV, CEO and editor-in-chief Rahul Kanwal said, “We are living through a period of extraordinary challenges and uncertainties, where opinion often overwhelms evidence. With Datafy, we are investing in advanced analytics and cutting-edge artificial intelligence tools to distil meaning out of big data sets. Our responsibility is to provide our viewers clarity driven by verified facts, visualised in ways that give context and meaning to a story.”
NDTV senior editor Namrata Dadwal added, “Data-based storytelling is fundamental to modern journalism. When analysed responsibly and presented through powerful visualisations, it turns complexity into clarity. With Datafy, we are placing verified evidence at the centre of every story we tell.”
The launch reflects NDTV’s push to reinforce its journalism-first ethos amid hardening ideological lines and fragmented discourse. By making data the hero instead of just another prop, Datafy isn’t just adding another tool to the newsroom, it’s handing viewers a quiet, powerful filter in a world screaming for attention.
