Godrej & Boyce celebrates 124 years of ‘Making In India’
MUMBAI: Godrej & Boyce has marked the beginning of their 125th year of operations with the launch of #124YearsofMakingforIndia campaign to showcase how the company has been dedicated to building a better India ever since its foundation in 1897.
The newly launched campaign aims to inspire netizens with some of the lesser known facts about the brand’s legacy that has been meticulously built over the years through various innovative products and services that it has provided.
Since its inception, Godrej & Boyce has demonstrated continuous commitment towards customer centricity, technological innovation, environmental sustainability and community development. The campaign shares interesting trivia that celebrates their workforce for always being in the frontline for the nation. For instance: Did you know that the Godrej & Boyce engineers that built the Vikas engine for ISRO launches are also the ones to build solenoid valves for ventilators to help the Covid infected patients in India?
From conserving hundreds of acres of mangroves to making recycled concrete to empowering over 150,000 youth with the skills to shape tomorrow’s world to most recently serving people during the healthcare crisis, the consumer goods major has been displaying its commitment towards national priorities.
The campaign, active across Godrej & Boyce’s social media platforms, uncovers snippets of the brand’s trivia, hosts online contests and extends its support to internal employees that have been affected by the pandemic.
Here are a few of their social media posts :

Madhu Soman joins Crestoria Global advisory board role
Former WION, Zee Business executive pivots to mentorship platform
MUMBAI: Madhu Soman, former chief business officer at WION and Zee Business, has joined the board of advisors at Crestoria Global, marking a shift from newsroom leadership to mentorship and education.
Soman, who brings close to three decades of experience across journalism and media management, said the move reflects a growing focus on shaping the next generation through guidance and real-world insight. His career spans leadership roles at organisations including Bloomberg, Thomson Reuters and Reuters, covering markets from India to Asia-Pacific.
“Across 28 years in the news business, one idea kept resurfacing as a meaningful off-ramp, teaching, mentorship, and helping shape the next generation,” said Soman. “Crestoria sits right at that intersection.”
Crestoria Global, which positions itself as a long-term education and career advisory platform, focuses on helping students navigate global opportunities through structured guidance, research-led insights and personalised mentorship. The company said its approach goes beyond university admissions to focus on long-term career positioning.
Soman added that the platform’s philosophy of designing success with intent, rather than leaving it to chance, resonated with his own outlook on impact and influence.
The advisory board brings together professionals from diverse fields, including academia, media and corporate leadership, aimed at offering students a broader perspective on career pathways in an increasingly complex global landscape.
As he steps into this new role, Soman’s move signals a wider trend of seasoned industry leaders turning towards mentorship, where experience is not just shared, but scaled for the next generation.
