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 :

HSBC names Gautam Anand to head global India private banking unit
The bank taps a 25-year veteran to run its franchise as the war for wealthy NRI clients heats up
MUMBAI: HSBC has handed Gautam Anand the keys to its global India private banking business, betting that a seasoned operator can squeeze more out of one of the world’s most lucrative pools of offshore wealth.
Anand, who joined HSBC Private Bank in December 2023 as global co-ordinator for Global India, the Middle East, North Africa and Europe, steps up to lead the franchise outright. He will run the operation across India and its key international outposts in Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore and the United Kingdom, putting him squarely in the middle of the corridors through which Indian money flows abroad.
The appointment is a signal of intent. HSBC only launched its global private banking business in India in 2023, pitching hard at high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients as part of a broader assault on Asian wealth management. The bank now wants Anand to turn that beachhead into a fortress.
He comes well-armed. Before HSBC, Anand clocked time at UBS, Credit Suisse, ANZ and ABN Amro, a CV that reads like a roll-call of the banks that have long competed to manage the fortunes of India’s affluent diaspora.
With Indian wealth exploding at home and spreading fast across global financial centres, the race to capture it is only getting fiercer. HSBC is backing Anand to make sure it does not finish second.
