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.

Jubilant FoodWorks faces Rs 47.5 crore GST demand, plans appeal
Tax authorities flag alleged misclassification of restaurant services
MUMBAI: Jubilant FoodWorks Limited has landed in a tax tussle after receiving a GST demand of Rs 47.5 crore from the office of the additional commissioner of CGST and central excise in Thane, Maharashtra.
The order, issued under the provisions of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, relates to an alleged incorrect classification of certain services under the category of restaurant services. According to the tax authorities, this classification resulted in a short payment of goods and services tax for the period between the financial years 2019-20 and 2021-22.
The demand includes Rs 47.5 crore in GST along with an equal amount as penalty, in addition to applicable interest. The order was received by the company on March 13, 2026.
In a regulatory filing to the BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, the company said it disagrees with the order and believes its arguments were not adequately considered.
The company is preparing to challenge the decision and plans to file an appeal. It added that once the redressal process is complete, the demand is likely to be dropped.
Despite the sizeable figure attached to the notice, the company said it does not expect any material impact on its financials, operations or other activities.
The disclosure was signed by Suman Hegde, EVP and chief financial officer, who confirmed that the company received the order at 19:06 IST on March 13 and has already initiated steps to contest it.
The development places the quick service restaurant major in the middle of a tax debate that could hinge on how certain restaurant-linked services are classified under GST rules. For now, the company appears ready to take the matter from the tax office to the appeals desk.
