“It is our firm belief that pets deserve the same level of care and attention as any other member of the family. We are committed to raising awareness about clean water’s vital role in pets’ health and well-being. The #DrinkPrimeForPets initiative reflects our dedication to making a positive impact in the lives of pets and their caretakers,” said DrinkPrime co-founder & COO Manas Ranjan Hota.
Urbanisation and rapid development have amplified concerns about water contamination, leading to apprehensions around the quality of water available for both humans and their animal companions. There persists a notion that pets possess harder digestive systems than their human counterparts, which has resulted in the practice of feeding tap water to pets.
Challenging this misconception and aiming to drive genuine change, DrinkPrime’s visionary founders have taken the bold step of offering free purified water to all their valued pet-owning subscribers. This initiative not only seeks to educate but also actively engages pet owners in improving the health and longevity of their pets by providing them with safe, high-quality water.
To gather momentum online and throughout communities, DrinkPrime’s #DrinkPrimeForPets initiative stands as a testament to the brand’s commitment to innovation, education, and the well-being of all creatures, great and small.
Furthermore, the impact of this initiative extends beyond the confines of individual homes. Stray animals, particularly urban dogs, are heavily reliant on human support for sustenance. By encouraging responsible water consumption and care practices, #DrinkPrimeForPets has the potential to guide caregivers of these strays in the right direction, fostering a healthier and more compassionate environment for our four-legged friends.

Google nears Nvidia in race for world’s most valuable company
Market cap gap narrows as Google hits $4.65 trillion, Nvidia at $4.86 trillion.
MUMBAI: In the AI gold rush, even the giants are sprinting and Google is suddenly gaining ground. Google is rapidly closing in on Nvidia in the race to become the world’s most valuable publicly listed company, with the gap between the two narrowing sharply amid diverging stock momentum. The tech giant’s market capitalisation has surged to around $4.65 trillion, following a more than 140 per cent rise in its share price over the past year.
That rally has added over $2.6 trillion in value in just 12 months, including nearly $900 billion since January alone. Its stock recently hovered at $381.80, slipping marginally by 0.04 per cent, but still reflecting strong upward momentum.
Nvidia, meanwhile, continues to hold the top spot with a valuation of approximately $4.86 trillion. The chipmaker crossed the $5 trillion milestone in October last year and peaked at $5.27 trillion on 27 April. However, its shares have largely plateaued over the past six months, rising just 0.2 per cent recently to $199.99.
The contrast in trajectories is striking. While Nvidia has seen relatively flat movement, Google has gained over 36 per cent in the same six-month period. Barron’s estimates suggest that if current trends hold, the valuation gap could shrink to as little as $190 million by the time Nvidia reports its first-quarter earnings on 20 May.
Daily momentum paints a similar picture. Nvidia recorded average daily gains of about 0.66 per cent last month, compared to Google’s stronger 1.42 per cent, an edge that could prove decisive in the short term.
Driving Google’s resurgence is its aggressive push into artificial intelligence across its ecosystem, from search and YouTube to cloud computing. The company has already invested $144 billion in capital expenditure over the past two years and plans to deploy a further $490 billion over the next two.
Its cloud division is also gathering pace. Google Cloud reported an order backlog of nearly $220 billion in the latest quarter, with total backlog touching a record $462 billion, around half of which is expected to be realised within two years. The company’s entry into chip sales is also beginning to factor into its growth narrative.
The last time Google briefly topped the S&P 500 by market value was in February 2016, when it edged past Apple for just two days. This time, the stakes and the numbers are far higher.
At the heart of the contest lies a single force: artificial intelligence. As both companies pour billions into infrastructure, chips and platforms, the leaderboard is no longer just about size, it is about who can scale the future faster.
