Covid care: Borosil extends helping hand to kin of deceased employees
MUMBAI: With the country battling an upsurge of Covid2019 cases, several companies have been rolling out aid and compensation for employees and their families impacted by the pandemic.
Borosil Ltd and Borosil Renewables have said that in the event of an employee losing their life due to Covid2019, his or her family will continue to receive the salary for the next two years. The company will also take care of the education of the deceased employee’s children “till their graduation in India” the glassware company said. The family members will also be eligible to receive other additional benefits the employee is entitled to, said the brand.
A statement to the effect from Borosil Ltd’s managing director Shreevar Kheruka was shared on the company’s social media handle.

The statement read, “We have lost four employees to this dreadful pandemic. Their names are Santosh Chalke, Vijay Shirsath, Tushar Panchal and Shiv Shankar Bisht. The sadness for these losses is indescribable.
In order to reassure our employees, we have announced that the family of any employee of Borosil Ltd and Borosil Renewable Ltd and their subsidiaries will be given two years of salary in the event of an unfortunate demise owing to Covid2019. In addition to this, the education of the children of the employee will be paid till graduation in India.
The above is no comparison to the scale of the loss, but hopefully will allow the family enough time to process the bereavement and reorient.
I strongly believe that the real assets of Borosil are not reflected on our Balance Sheet at all. We need to protect these assets in whatever way we can. I hope this move is a step in that direction.
This too shall pass and we will emerge into a better tomorrow!”
Last week, gig services marketplace Urban Company also announced it had set up the Mohit Agrawal Covid Relief Fund in memory of the company’s director of engineering who passed away due to Covid2019. The company has partnered with Srinidhi Foundation to set up the relief fund that will provide medical assistance and bereavement support to Urban Company’s gig workforce and their families. The company’s co-founder Abhiraj Singh Bhal took to Twitter to share the news.

Omnicom Media appoints Bradley Rogers as CEO of OMD USA
Red Ventures president to lead OMD’s largest market as Chrissie Hanson exits
NEW YORK: Omnicom Media has named Bradley Rogers as chief executive officer of OMD Worldwide’s US business, handing him the reins of one of the world’s largest media agency operations. His appointment takes effect on March 23.
Rogers steps into the role with more than 25 years of experience across media, creative services and digital platforms. Over the years, he has held senior leadership roles at global organisations including McCann Worldgroup, Ogilvy, Mindshare and Red Ventures, working across global, regional and market level operations.
His career has also seen him build long standing partnerships with major brands such as IBM, Mastercard, Microsoft and Nestlé.
Announcing the move, Ralph Pardo, chief executive officer of Omnicom Media North America, said Rogers brings a rare mix of business acumen and cross discipline expertise shaped by leadership roles across media, creative services, commerce and consumer platforms.
Pardo noted that Rogers’ entrepreneurial mindset and ability to connect capabilities, teams and ideas makes him well suited to lead OMD as marketing grows more complex and outcome driven.
Rogers succeeds Chrissie Hanson, who is stepping down after four years as chief executive officer of OMD USA. Pardo credited Hanson with strengthening the agency’s market leadership and deepening the value delivered to clients during her tenure.
Before joining OMD, Rogers served as president at Red Ventures, a digital marketing and large scale customer acquisition company recognised by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest growing private companies. Prior to that, he was global president and chief operating officer at MRM, part of McCann Worldgroup, where he oversaw global operations across 16 markets and managed relationships with several of the world’s largest brands.
In his new role, Rogers will lead the US arm of OMD, the largest market within the global media agency network.
Commenting on his appointment, Rogers said that as marketing organisations navigate rapid change, agencies must work closely with clients to understand both the pressures they face and the opportunities ahead. He added that his focus will be on delivering measurable outcomes while unlocking Omnicom Media’s strengths in scale, data, identity, commerce and talent to drive growth for the brands it serves.
