Say whey?!?

“India's most surprising consumer category is whey protein. Raw material: ₹750/kg → ₹2,750/kg in two years. Retail prices off the roof. And yet consumption keeps climbing - protein is now one of the fastest-growing categories in quick commerce. The overall category is compounding at 20%+ in volume and over 45% in value.”

“UK imports from India are likely to rise by 25% in the long run – this is equivalent to £9.8 billion in additional UK imports from India when applied to projections of future trade in 2040.

Petrol khatam nahi hota, par e20 kara do

“My 2025 Innova Hycross has lost roughly 5% mileage since E20 became the only fuel. Same routes, same driving. Friends across different cars and cities report similar numbers. Some mileage drop is pure chemistry. Ethanol carries one-third less energy per litre, and even government studies concede a 1-6% dip. My 5% on a 2025 car sits at the top of that range. That gap deserves study, not dismissal.”

Here’s hoping the study yields some improvement in fuel.
