AP's Tenalai Double Horse pulses brand set to broadening its retail reach

Vijayawada, July 29 (UNI) With two decades of agricultural excellence, Tenali Double Horse, a premium pulses brand from Tenali in Andhra Pradesh's Guntur district, is broadening its retail reach by tapping into India's fast-growing digital consumer base. Nearly 20% of its online business now comes through Instamart, supporting its growth into new markets.
Tenali Double Horse, a small brand born in the heart of Andhra Pradesh, is accessible across 12 Indian states-Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Delhi NCR, Maharashtra, Odisha, Punjab, Haryana, and Kerala on Instamart now.
This highlights how quick commerce platforms are enabling legacy and regional brands to reach wider geographies and new customer segments, particularly urban consumers seeking speed, quality, and convenience.
Founded by Mr. Mohan Shyam Prasad in 2005, the brand's entry into quick commerce via Instamart demonstrates how traditional businesses are leveraging modern retail to meet the growing demand for accessible, high-quality food. Its flagship product, Urad Gota, has earned strong brand loyalty and drives repeat purchases, while other staples like Toor Dal, Moong Dal, Channa Dal, and Idly Ravva are emerging as top sellers in the Dals & Pulses category on Instamart.
'At Instamart, we're committed to enabling India's most trusted and promising brands to reach consumers with speed, quality, and ease. Tenali Double Horse represents the best of regional excellence, and our partnership showcases how traditional businesses can thrive in the quick commerce ecosystem. Consumers today are actively seeking high-quality, authentic products they can trust, and Tenali Double Horse's standout offerings like Urad Gota, Urad Ladoo, and Millets Ladoo are consistently becoming pantry essentials for users across India.' said Arjun Choudhary, VP Revenue & Growth, Instamart
He revealed: 'By bridging deep-rooted legacy with modern convenience, we're not only expanding access to premium, homegrown products but also empowering heritage regional brands to scale rapidly and connect with a new generation of digital-first consumers.'
"While our brand enjoys strong recognition and demand in the market, Instamart has helped us connect with time-crunched urban consumers across India who appreciate quality and seek convenience. It has helped us serve both our loyal customers more efficiently and introduce our products to first-time buyers beyond our geographical presence. We have also leveraged Instamart's platform insights to diversify and innovate our product range to meet the taste of modern consumers looking for authentic and high-quality traditional items like millet-based items, pickles, gunpowder, chocolates, and more." said Mr. Mohan Shyam Prasad, Founder of Tenali Double Horse.

Here is all about CM Revanth Reddy's ‘Young India' mission inspired from Gandhi

At a state-of-the-art skilling facility South of Hyderabad, picture a bunch of fresh engineering graduates learning the nuances of autotronics from seasoned engineers of Mahindra Group. Imagine a group of newly graduated nurses completing a 3-month finishing-skills course offered by the best of professionals from Apollo Hospitals. At the end of the course, Mahindra and Apollo would pick them all and glowing careers would follow. Would you believe, all of this is being made possible from a government-established institute called the Young India Skills University (YISU) in Telangana. According to the former journalist P Anvesh Reddy, Job-readiness, or the lack of it, among fresh graduates, is at the core of the idea behind the Revanth Reddy-led Government of Telangana's launch of YISU in August 2024. Behind the thought of YISU is the Telangana Chief Minister's decision to echo Mahatma Gandhi's views on the inherent value of college degrees. Over a century ago, Mahatma Gandhi in his weekly journal Young India, wrote, "An academic grasp without practice behind it is like an embalmed corpse, perhaps lovely to look at but nothing to inspire or ennoble." Indian politicians rarely speak about having an under-skilled young population. Revanth Reddy acknowledged the elephant in the room. Sadly, for as large a population as India's, Gandhi's words still hold true as an overwhelming section of today's graduates do not possess industry-standard skills. Gandhi's idea of 'Young India' reflects "the voice of India" and hence, the underlying problem of education in India -- 'academic grasp without practice' – needs to be addressed. More so in an AI-era. Revanth Reddy, who swore-in as Telangana's Chief Minister in December 2023, was quick to sense this. Within months, he pooled in industrialists of the likes of Anand Mahindra of Mahindra Group, Sanjeev Bikhchandani of Info Edge, and Suchitra Ella of Bharat Biotech, to bejewel YISU's Board of Governors. Anand Mahindra was appointed as the chairman of YISU. He had even agreed to adopt the University's automotive department. The Chief Minister appealed to the industrialists to become partners in YISU. A permanent campus for YISU is being built in the upcoming Bharat Future City, an ambitious net zero city project touted to become the next growth engine for Hyderabad. Brand 'Young India' The Skills University was named with the iconic prefix 'Young India'. The idea is not just to do poetic justice. The idea is to do real justice to the young Indians, by matching their skillsets with market needs through a self-reliant institution -- with zero government intervention. YISU's success would naturally trigger replication elsewhere in India. In the 1980s, Telangana's (erstwhile Andhra Pradesh) reforms in education were replicated as a model for India, especially with the launch of the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU). India's first Open University, the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Open University, Hyderabad, pioneered distance education with print, radio, and study centres. Its success proved the feasibility and impact of open learning in India. IGNOU went on to become the world's largest university in terms of student enrolment. Since Bhavanam Venkatarami Reddy in 1982, Revanth Reddy is the first Chief Minister in united Andhra Pradesh's history to serve as the State's full-time education minister. He has plans for revolutionary educational reforms. This is an exception not just in Telangana or Andhra Pradesh, but also in Indian politics of recent past. Telangana is building ultra-modern social welfare residential schools called Young India Integrated Residential Schools in all the 119 Assembly constituencies, with Rs 200 crore allocated for each school campus. Also, the Young India Police School was launched exclusively for the children of police personnel, while the Young India Sports University is being set up with a vision to produce future Olympians. While India could likely become the world's third largest economy in the coming years, unemployment continues to be a burning issue. And Gandhi's idea of 'Young India' could take today's young Indians a long way in such pursuit.

Amid IMF's enhanced growth projection, three caveats can't be ignored

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has revised India's economic growth forecast upwards, reinforcing the country's status as a leading performer among major global economies. IMF's latest World Economic Outlook (WEO), released on July 29, points out that India is now expected to grow at 6.4 per cent in both 2025-26 and 2026-27, marking an increase of 0.2 and 0.1 percentage points, respectively, over the April projections. This upgrade mirrors a broader, albeit modest, improvement in its global growth forecast. As per the updated assessment, the IMF now anticipates global GDP to expand by three per cent in 2025 and 3.1 per cent in 2026—both figures slightly higher than those projected just three months ago. It has also raised its expectations for emerging market and developing economies, which are now projected to grow by 4.1 per cent, up from 3.7 per cent, a revision largely driven by improved prospects for China, the world's second-largest economy. The IMF attributes India's stronger outlook to a 'more benign external environment' than was assumed in its April forecast. While the report stops short of listing specifics, the phrase suggests a combination of factors: easing inflationary pressures in advanced economies, stable commodity prices, and continued global demand for goods and services—all of which are expected to provide a more favourable backdrop for India's growth. India's resilient performance continues to stand out. Even amid geopolitical volatility and uneven global recovery patterns, the country has maintained a robust growth trajectory, supported by public capital expenditure, an expanding services sector, and digital infrastructure gains. The IMF's revision reflects this resilience, though the path ahead may still be complicated by emerging external and domestic challenges. Meanwhile, three key caveats deserve closer scrutiny. First, US President Donald Trump's 25 per cent tariffs on goods imported from India, 'plus an unspecified penalty' for buying Russian oil and weapons, pose a major risk to India's growth rate, apart from straining bilateral ties between India and the United States, which have been steadily improving in the last few years. The new tariffs on certain imports could create headwinds for Indian exporters. Second, how India responds to these US moves will significantly influence its medium and long-term economic prospects. Whether New Delhi chooses a retaliatory stance or seeks a diplomatic compromise could affect investor perceptions, trade flows, and diplomatic goodwill. India's choices in navigating this delicate phase of economic diplomacy will be watched closely, not only in Washington but also in global markets. Third, and most crucially, the sustainability of India's growth momentum will depend on how the Narendra Modi government implements its domestic economic policies. While headline growth figures remain robust, challenges such as sluggish private investment, labour market rigidities, and regional disparities persist. Economic ministers and other senior government functionaries wax eloquent about liberalisation and the ease of doing business, but executing reforms in letter and spirit will make all the difference. Trump's tough stance can be a blessing in disguise if it forces India's decision makers to focus on effective policy execution. The IMF's upgraded forecast underscores India's strong economic fundamentals and its continued attractiveness as an investment destination. However, this positive outlook is tempered by emerging global risks and internal policy variables. Navigating these will be crucial to maintaining India's position as a bright spot.
