One year and 25,000 members later, Malini’s Girl Tribe introduces a new logo and makes way for a bigger, more engaged community
MUMBAI: A year ago, Malini Agarwal, Founder and Creative Director MissMalini Entertainment created a community on Facebook called Malini’s Girl Tribe—an inclusive space for women everywhere. Here, women uplift other women, have real conversations about life, love, work and more. As time passed, this humble group organically grew to become a melting pot of honest opinions, different ideas and heartfelt advice. Women from all over the world are empowering other women, allowing them to be each other’s support system, and enabling them to be their truest self.
Malini’s Girl Tribe is not just a platform where women can connect and communicate, it’s also a space where they can help each other overcome unimaginable hardships of life, and build each other to become stronger and more independent individuals. Honesty, love, optimism, positivity, empathy, and kindness are emotions this community thrives on. In Malini’s Girl Tribe, everything that puts a question mark or a full stop in a woman’s life turns into a deep, meaningful conversation, and helps her find a way to break free from societal norms.
After a year full of phenomenal events like the BRAVE: A Breakfast Rave, The Swapathon (an event where girls could swap their clothes, accessories, makeup, shoes etc. with other girls) loads of GNOs, exclusive Yoga sessions with Shilpa Shetty Kundra and Malaika Arora, Galentine's Day celebrations, and more—the Tribe is leveling up with a fresh new logo and is on the path to creating a more engaged community.
On popular demand, the Tribe has started Facebook Live sessions that offer guidance and support to women on every aspect of life like careers, fashion, investment advice, relationships, skin care, et al.
Alia Bhatt, Tapsee Pannu, Malaika Arora, Shilpa Shetty Kundra and many other celebs have also been a part of the Tribe’s crusade, sharing advice on the things that are a common part of women’s lives everywhere.
Malini Agarwal took to transforming social media into a better place by eliminating the negatives like trolling and shaming, and replacing them with love, positivity and kindness. With Malini’s Girl Tribe, she has created a space dedicated to women that is filled with oodles of warmth, compassion and care, and this is only the beginning of a much-needed change in the way we use social media.

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.
