A luxury Audi A3 convertible making daily rounds in residential areas has become a familiar sight in this NCR city. Behind the wheel is Amit Bhadana, a 34-year-old former banker, who now delivers milk instead of managing corporate accounts.Amit Bhadana left his job in the banking sector and joined his family's dairy business during the Covid pandemic. Initially, he helped out his brother as a stopgap arrangement, but it soon turned into a full-time role."I initially used my 750CC Harley Davidson for deliveries. But the scorching summer sun made it challenging," he says. So, he switched to the Audi convertible. "The weather-adjustable roof makes all the difference. Now, I can stay on the streets for long, even when the roof is retracted," he adds.Each morning, Bhadana drives 60 to 70 kilometres, delivering around 120 litres of milk to homes in Sector 21, Sainik Colony and NIT areas of Faridabad. His delivery vehicle, a Rs 50-lakh Audi cabriolet, has drawn attention from local residents and beyond."Every delivery run is like a joyride now. I'm living my passion for luxury vehicles, but honouring our family tradition at the same time," he says.The Bhadana family runs a dairy farm in Mohatabad village. The farm houses 32 cows and 6 buffaloes. His father Ram Avtar, a retired Army man, oversees the farm operations. Amit's brother Lalit helps manage the dairy, while another brother Raj Singh looks after events. His wife and two daughters complete the family.Despite spending around Rs 400 on fuel daily, Bhadana has no plans to change vehicles. Requests for milk have started coming in from new areas as word spreads about the man who delivers milk in a luxury convertible.Come winter, Bhadana plans to bring back his Harley Davidson for the rounds. Until then, he continues to be a familiar and unusual sight on the streets — the milkman in an Audi.

TCS Layoffs: Modi government issues BIG Statement, says 'Keeping close eye on…', TCS CEO says Reason for this decision…

Indian technology giant Tata Consultancy Services has decided to lay off around 2 percent of its total workforce, impacting the jobs of around 12000 employees. According to a Moneycontrol report quoting government sources, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) is reportedly keeping a close eye on the developments surrounding this big decision. In the coming future, the government expects the industry and academia to address issues related to skilling and re-skilling. The report further states that approximately 12,000 employees—about 2 percent of TCS's total workforce—were laid off on July 27 as part of the company's efforts to become more agile and future-ready. 'Industry and academia will also have to address skilling and re-skilling related issues. We are keeping a close eye on all of this,' the source told Moneycontrol. TCS CEO Krithivasan on Layoffs In an exclusive interview to Moneycontrol, the TCS CEO Krithivasan said that the move by the company is not a reaction to AI adoption but a step toward future-proofing workforce skills. 'No, this is not because of AI giving some 20 percent productivity gains. We are not doing that. This is driven by where there is a skill mismatch, or, where we think that we have not been able to deploy someone,' Krithivasan also told Moneycontrol This decision will majorly impact some of the entry level associates who have been on the bench for a long time along with middle and senior level employees for the most apart. Employment Linked Incentive Scheme Additionally, the Union Cabinet approved a Rs 99,446 crore Employment Linked Incentive (ELI) Scheme on July 1. This aims to accelerate job creation with a special emphasis on manufacturing and also seeks to create over 3.5 crore new jobs over a period of two-years. Under this initiative, first-time workers can receive a one-time wage support of up to Rs. 15,000, and employers will be rewarded for job creation over the next two years.
