SCAM ALERT! False ads impersonating Anuj Singhal of CNBC-Awaaz
Mumbai: CNBC-Awaaz has issued an alert about fraudulent activities involving the misuse of the name of CNBC-Awaaz’s managing editor, Anuj Singhal by cybercriminals. There have been instances where individuals were deceived through false ads and investment schemes on social media, particularly Facebook and Instagram, claiming to be associated with Anuj Singhal and CNBC Awaaz.
Anuj Singhal does not provide any investment advice or recommendations through WhatsApp groups or any other social media platform. He is not associated with any group offering stock recommendations or financial advice in exchange for joining a WhatsApp group. CNBC-Awaaz and Anuj Singhal are not involved in any such activities, and people are urged to exercise caution and report any suspicious activities immediately.
It has come to light that fake profiles impersonating Anuj Singhal are being used to lure investors with promises of high returns and misleading claims about his involvement with brokerage firms. While these profiles may look like Anuj’s at first, a closer look at the handle name, follower count and posts can reveal their fraudulent nature. The public is strongly advised to be wary of such schemes and not to share personal or financial information with unknown individuals or groups.
To avoid falling victim to such fraud, it is recommended to ignore advice from unknown sources, verify information from official sources, and maintain secure practices for personal and financial transactions. It is important not to trust any information shared through unofficial channels and sources. In case of any suspicious activity, CNBC-Awaaz advises people to report it to the appropriate authorities immediately.

Swiggy sees record orders during India vs New Zealand T20 final
Chicken biryani tops match-day menu as fans order 7,500 times per minute at peak.
MUMBAI: India’s T20 final didn’t just break stumps, it broke Swiggy’s delivery records, proving cricket fans celebrate victories with plates, not just flags. Swiggy, India’s leading on-demand convenience platform, reported a sharp spike in food orders during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup final between India and New Zealand. On 8 March 2026, overall orders rose 23.2 per cent year-on-year compared with the same date in 2025, driven by fans turning living rooms into mini stadiums complete with match-day feasts.
Key highlights from the evening:
- Orders during peak match hours (7–10 pm) were 2.1 times higher than pre-match levels.
- The highest order rate hit 7,500 orders per minute at 19:45.
- Chicken biryani reigned supreme as the most-ordered dish, followed by masala dosa, chicken fried rice, garlic breadsticks and paneer butter masala.
While metros such as Bengaluru, Mumbai and Hyderabad led volumes, the cricketing fever spread nationwide. Among emerging cities, Thiruvananthapuram, Surat and Rajkot recorded the strongest order growth. Smaller markets including Shillong, Agartala and Port Blair also showed significant appetite, underlining the expanding footprint of quick-commerce food delivery across India.
The surge reflects a growing trend of pairing major sporting events with doorstep delivery, turning big matches into shared, convenient celebrations. In a night where every boundary mattered, Swiggy proved the real MVP might just be the delivery partner who kept the snacks and the vibes flowing without missing a single wicket.
