Common man feels ignored by politicians: Ipsos Survey
New Delhi, Oct 01, 2018: Ipsos Survey shows that 58% Indians feel that the economy is partial to those with deep pockets – the rich and powerful. Further, 59% feel that traditional parties and politicians disregard the common man.
The survey christened Beyond Populism was conducted online among adults aged under 65 in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, India, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Poland, Russia, Spain, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden, Turkey and the United States.
Parijat Chakraborty, Executive Director, Ipsos Public Affairs says, “The survey shows that the common man is feeling left out in the scheme of things. With the General Elections coming up in 2019, this insight can help political parties focus on the needs of the marginalized and the man on the street.”
Interestingly, Indians are clear about what attributes they look for in their politicians. Majority of Indians polled (62%) prefer outspoken politicians who can speak their mind without worrying about the consequences; and more number of Indians (68%) like their leaders strong and those who can create their own path and are not hesitant in breaking the norms.
At the same time, only half of Indians polled see risk in electing political parties or leaders with radical ideas for change, who have not been elected earlier. 2 in 5 would stick with political parties and leaders who have been in power before.

Raj Cooling Systems names Bhagyashree ambassador for Kiozy+
New air purifier line targets urban pollution with premium design
MUMBAI: As pollution levels continue to cloud India’s major cities, Raj Cooling Systems Private Limited has unveiled Kiozy+, a premium air purifier range designed to bring cleaner air indoors. Adding a touch of stardust to the launch, the company has appointed Hindi cinema actress Bhagyashree as the brand ambassador for the new line.
Positioned at the intersection of wellness and lifestyle, Kiozy+ promises to do more than simply filter air. It aims to create refined, breathable spaces for modern homes and offices, especially in tier 1 cities where winter smog and airborne pollutants often reach worrying levels.
Raj Cooling Systems, known for its home appliance portfolio, says the new range reflects its continued push towards smart, health-focused innovations. Under the leadership of entrepreneur Kalpesh Manubhai Ramoliya, the company is expanding into products that blend technology with everyday comfort.
Air pollution remains a pressing concern in India’s largest urban centres, where dust, allergens and microscopic toxins can compromise respiratory health and disrupt daily life. Kiozy+ has been engineered to tackle these challenges head-on, using an advanced purification system to filter harmful particles and circulate cleaner air throughout indoor spaces.
“At Raj Cooling Systems, we believe clean air is a necessity, not a luxury,” said Ramoliya. “With Kiozy+, we want families and professionals to take charge of their indoor environment and safeguard their wellbeing. This launch reflects our commitment to innovation and quality that genuinely supports healthier living.”
Bhagyashree echoed the sentiment, highlighting the link between air quality and overall health. “Clean air has a direct impact on immunity and wellbeing,” she said. “Kiozy+ combines intelligent design with elegant aesthetics to create spaces that feel both comfortable and healthy. I am pleased to be associated with a brand that puts wellbeing first.”
With Kiozy+, Raj Cooling Systems is stepping firmly into the wellness-driven appliance segment. The message is simple: when the air outside feels heavy, the air inside does not have to be.
