Maharishi Ayurveda’s Raktda launches digital campaign to recognise women who are #MadeofIron
MUMBAI: On Women’s day, Raktda, Maharishi Ayurveda’s 100 per cent natural iron management solution, launched a digital campaign that celebrates the women who make more happen every day.
Indian women have to perform multiple roles in their life, for which they require adequate energy. With a strong character and an indomitable spirit, they are #MadeofIron.
This campaign is a celebration of the strength and resolves these women represent. With #MadeofIron, Raktda also aims to raise awareness about the need for Iron in a woman’s life.
Speaking about the campaign, Maharishi Ayurveda global marketing head Ramesh Yadav said, "India is a country with the world's largest iron-deficient female population (source: WHO) that stretches across all strata. It’s important for women to understand how iron deficiency can prevent them from getting the best out of themselves. Through this campaign, while we celebrate her undaunted spirit, we also want to spread awareness about the need for iron in her fast-paced, action-oriented life.”
Bottle Openers founder Sachin Kumar said, “Through the campaign, we identify women across different fields who have an active, ironclad spirit, and have found the same activeness in their health after incorporating iron in their diet. We also ask women to tell us their #MadeofIronstories."

Boeing appoints Barun as head of FP&A for global engineering function
Seasoned finance leader to steer budgets and strategy across global centres
BENGALURU: Boeing’s finance cockpit has a new pilot, and he is no stranger to turbulence or transformation. Boeing has appointed Barun as head of FP&A for global engineering, placing him at the centre of financial strategy for its worldwide engineering and technology operations.
Based in Bengaluru, Barun steps into a role that is as expansive as it is critical. He will serve as the primary finance lead for Boeing’s Engineering and Technology Centers globally, working closely with executive leadership to shape financial decisions, manage complex budgets, and design scalable finance processes that support the company’s growing engineering footprint.
In a note announcing his move Barun said, “I’m excited to share that I’ve joined Boeing Global Engineering. This opportunity is incredibly meaningful to me not just from a professional standpoint, but also for what Boeing represents globally.” He added that he looks forward to contributing to an organisation that continues to shape the future of aerospace and innovation.
Barun’s mandate spans strategic financial leadership, operational oversight, and stakeholder engagement. From directing large-scale budgets and schedules to influencing long-term organisational goals, the role blends financial discipline with business foresight. He will also lead cross-functional teams and partner with finance colleagues worldwide to support engineering programmes across geographies, including India.
The appointment caps a long stint at Juniper Networks, where Barun spent over a decade, most recently as finance senior manager. There, he led FP&A for global product business units and G&A functions, driving budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning. He also played a key role in enterprise-wide transformation, including spearheading an Oracle to SAP ERP migration and building advanced analytics capabilities using tools such as Tableau and SAP Analytics Cloud.
His earlier career includes finance leadership roles at Sony India Software Centre, Cognizant Technology Solutions, and Mphasis, where he focused on financial planning, governance frameworks, and operational efficiency across global delivery centres.
A chartered accountant from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, Barun brings nearly two decades of experience across financial planning, digital transformation, and analytics-led decision making.
His appointment comes at a time when global engineering operations are becoming increasingly complex and distributed, requiring sharper financial oversight and agile planning. With Barun at the helm of FP&A for engineering, Boeing appears to be tightening its financial playbook as it looks to scale innovation with discipline.
