Demonetisation: Paytm & SBI most talked about on Twitter and Insta
MUMBAI: It’s been close to a month since PM Narendra Modi announced the demonetisation of higher currency notes and the buzz around the topic hasn’t receded still. After all, several sections of the market remain affected by the scarcity of liquidity in the economy.
While the country debates on whether the move has been successful in curbing black money or not, one thing is for certain, it caught everyone’s attention.
Maxus Kaleidoscope has released data that reveals the location-wise mood of India from Twitter and Instagram.
The conversations were mapped between the 8 to the 24 of Nov 2016 by when we would get a clear picture of the how the initial euphoria of the demonetization panned out over time.
Location based Tweets and Instagram Posts oscillated largely between Action oriented and Calm Moods in the fortnight since the demonetization from an All India basis. Calm moods were dominant in the North Eastern states of Mizoram and Meghalaya as depicted in the map below.
Nearly 5 Lakh conversations on Twitter & Instagram made up the top 10 trending topics. Demonetization accounted for 6 of the top 10 trending topics since the announcement, of which the PM accounted for half of the trending topics. #IamwithModi and #Modi were the topics that made up for 19% of the conversations within the top 10 trends. Cricket shared a bit of the spotlight from demonetization thanks to the ongoing England-India test series.
Brands too shared some of the light light that demonetization drew. A total of 23 brands of were linked to the top 10 trending topics during the past fortnight. These brands factored in slightly over 30 per cent of the total conversations. PayTM leading the bunch (avg. 53% association) and SBI (avg. 16% association) carved out the larger part of the Brand Share of Conversation.
The top 5 metros reflected similar patterns of Moods where Action dominated the moods however there were some days especially like 17 Nov in Delhi when the expression of Calm gave way to Action. Additionally Tamil Nadu showed a blip towards Anxiety on the 18, 19 and 21 Nov 2016 when subsequent announcements of the demonetization easing by the government and news of the CM Jayalalithaa seemed to have driven up the specific mood.
According to Maxus Kaleidoscope’s mapped data over Twitter and Intagram, there is a sense of patient restraint in cities across India as the demonetization moves on into the 3rd week and nears the critical end of the month period when cash flows really come into play.

Wellbeing Nutrition ropes in Malavika Mohanan as brand ambassador
Actor fronts Marine Collagen and Skin Fuel Glutathione portfolio.
MUMBAI: Malavika Mohanan just became the face of inner glow because when your skincare starts in the bottle instead of the jar, even beauty gets a glow-up from the inside out. Wellbeing Nutrition has appointed acclaimed actor Malavika Mohanan as brand ambassador for its premium Korean Marine Collagen and Skin Fuel Glutathione range. The move signals a deliberate shift in the Indian ingestible beauty segment from surface-level routines to foundation-level nutrition that supports skin health from within.
The campaign positions collagen as the essential “beauty protein” that maintains elasticity and firmness, with daily supplementation reframed as a consistent ritual rather than a quick cosmetic fix. It aims to simplify the science behind collagen and build awareness around long-term skin nourishment.
Wellbeing Nutrition co-founder Saurabh Kapoor said, “In India, collagen is still largely viewed through a cosmetic lens, associated with glow and quick fixes. In reality, it is the primary structural protein of the skin, and we begin losing nearly 1 per cent of it every year in the late 20s. Yet a significant number of consumers remain unaware of its foundational role in long-term skin health. Our goal is to shift the conversation from fixing visible signs to feeding the foundation.”
Malavika Mohanan added, “For me, skincare has always been about consistency and taking care of myself in ways that go beyond just what I apply on my skin. I love the idea of supporting skin health from within, and that’s what drew me to Wellbeing Nutrition’s Marine Collagen and Skin Fuel Gluta.”
The Korean Marine Collagen uses nano-hydrolyzed peptides for better bioavailability, while Skin Fuel Glutathione complements the inside-out approach. The portfolio targets structure, brightness and resilience over time, backed by clinical research.
The ambassador announcement kicks off a broader collagen-focused roadmap for the brand, with planned innovations across formats and functional blends.
In an era where beauty routines are getting deeper than skin, Wellbeing Nutrition isn’t just selling supplements, it’s selling the quiet power of feeding your glow from the inside, one daily scoop at a time.
