Technological shifts are opening up new possibilities and are already bringing efficiencies across several areas. At the same time, they are gradually changing how work is organised and carried out, prompting students to think differently about how they prepare for their careers. Some of the earlier reference points such as clear, linear career paths are evolving, even as new opportunities continue to emerge. The interaction with Padma Shri awardee Anand Kumar unfolded within this broader setting, bringing the focus to what it takes to build capability over time.
 

Anand Kumar inspires students at Galgotias University, emphasising persistence as a path to success
 

Shri Anand Kumar delivered an inspiring talk to students across programmes, focusing on persistence and the ability to work through difficulties. Drawing from his work with Super 30, he spoke about the importance of working through a concept, returning to fundamentals, and allowing ideas the time and efforts they need to fructify. He shared four mantras with students to help them succeed, a strong sense of intent and the drive to make a difference, maintaining a positive outlook in any situation, tireless effort and hard work, and the patience to stay the course, with an emphasis on sustained effort and inner drive even when progress feels slow.
 

He also spoke about phases of difficulty in his own journey, sharing that when one begins to do well, there can be detractors who question intent or attempt to damage reputation. He recalled a time when negative media coverage and legal challenges left him uncertain about continuing. During that phase, he turned to his mentor with the intention of stepping away from his work with Super 30. His mentor asked him a simple question, whether he was working for fame or for the students whose lives he was trying to change. That question helped him return to the core purpose of his work. He continued with renewed focus, allowing time and effort to speak for themselves.
 

The interaction then moved into a discussion with student representatives, bringing the conversation closer to concerns around career choices, academic pressure, and the constant pull of comparison.
 

The emphasis remained on staying motivated over longer periods, committing to a direction, and allowing clarity to build gradually through sustained work. Students were encouraged to remain patient with themselves and to not lose focus even in the face of adversities.
 

Dr. Dhruv Galgotia, Chief Executive Officer, Galgotias University, said, “Offering students avenues to interact with thought leaders and change makers of our times is important, especially in a phase where deep transitions are underway and the way work and careers evolve is changing steadily. What Shri Anand Kumar has built through his work with students from underprivileged backgrounds reflects a sense of purpose and commitment that is deeply relevant in today’s context, and it is a mission that aligns closely with what we seek to do at Galgotias University.”
 

Students were motivated to reflect on their own journeys through both the talk and the discussion that followed, engaging closely with the ideas shared around persistence, effort, and staying committed over time. The interaction left them with a clearer sense of what it takes to continue with focus and discipline.

During the visit, Shri Anand Kumar also appreciated the University’s infrastructure and the learning environment, encouraging students to make full use of the opportunities and facilities available to them, and to invest that advantage in strengthening their understanding and preparing themselves for what lies ahead. He also expressed his intent to return for future interactions with students.

Through this cinematic digital reveal, we’ve leveraged Jagapathi Babu’s legendary intensity to spotlight our limited-edition SRH bottles, catching Ishan Kishan, Heinrich Klaasen, and Nitish Kumar Reddy off guard in a ‘dramatic’ face-off that is a well-timed hydration tip, a cheeky twist we are certain fans across the country will enjoy.”

Commenting on the collaboration, Mr. K. Shanmugam, CEO, Sunrisers Hyderabad, said, “At Sunrisers Hyderabad, we are always looking to create deeper fan connections beyond the game. This collaboration with Bisleri brings a unique cultural flavour to the campaign, and we believe it will resonate strongly with audiences.”

Expressing excitement on the collaboration, Mr. Jagapathi Babu said, “It was a wonderful experience collaborating with Bisleri and the Sunrisers Hyderabad team on this campaign. The concept cleverly balanced the importance of hydration with intensity and humour, making it highly engaging to perform. Working with such talented young players brought a refreshing energy to the film, and I believe audiences will truly connect with its simplicity and relatability.”

The campaign is conceptualised and executed by Bisleri’s in-house creative team.

As one of the largest sports associations, Bisleri partnered with five leading franchises, bringing together on-ground presence and digital storytelling to build stronger connections with fans and reinforce its leadership in hydration.

World Animal Protection organized a protest event at Patrika Gate in Jaipur today to raise concerns about the continued mistreatment of captive elephants in Amer Fort and Haathi Gaon, Jaipur. A large number of people and volunteers participated in the event and engaged with the public to highlight the suffering of these elephants. During the event, many individuals took a pledge not to ride elephants during their travels and called on the Government of Rajasthan to end elephant rides.

The event was organised in the wake of the death of a 70-year-old elephant named Chanchal in February 2026, who had been used in a photoshoot where she was painted pink by photographer Julia Buruleva. Although her death is believed to be unrelated to the photography event. Nonetheless, the shooting event raised major questions on ethics surrounding the treatment of animals, especially wild animals like elephants, that suffer from their incarceration in captivity.
 

“For years we have seen the unfortunate scene of captive elephants being paraded as props in Amer Fort for tourists, including foreign tourists, to the detriment of their health and welfare and it is high time this practice stopped,” says Gajender Kumar Sharma, Country Director, World Animal Protection in India. Numerous studies have repeatedly shown that the status quo on Amer Fort elephants is untenable and the need is imminent for them to be retired from the daily rides and given a satisfactory retirement in a wildlife friendly sanctuary for the rest of their lives.
 

Studies by Animal Welfare Board of India and Project Elephant of Ministry of Environment And Forests have shown the Amer Fort elephants show major distress due to their captive nature and that the way forward is by ending the elephant rides in Jaipur, in Amer Fort, Haathi Gaon and other venues where they still take place. In the wake of the photoshoot that has made news all over, it is amply clear and self evident that the elephant being painted with a scantily clad model woman on top was hardly the epitome or symbol of Indian culture that has respected the elephant with the status of National Heritage Animal of India.
 

Elephants are wild animals, who live sociably in the wild and display many human emotions like love, fear, bonding, sadness and mourning and they are deprived of these traits in captivity. Moreover the continued illegal trade in live elephants from certain parts of India to fuel the captive elephant industry in places like Jaipur give cause for concern for elephant conservation in the wild. We also witness retrogressive practices like elephant safaris in Kaziranga National Park in Assa and Corbett Tiger Reserve in Uttarakhand. “Elephant rides across India must be brought to an end, and tourism activities involving captive elephants including those involving international visitors/tourists need to be strictly regulated. World Animal Protection urges the Government of Rajasthan, the Ministry of Environment and Forests, and Project Elephant to take immediate action, including establishing a clear timeline for the retirement of elephants currently used for rides in Jaipur and across the country,” says Gajender Kumar Sharma, Country Director, World Animal Protection in India.
 

The demonstration in Jaipur, with active participation from volunteers and local residents alongside World Animal Protection staff, reflects a growing awareness that wild animals belong in the wild. Elephants are not entertainers, nor are they props for photographs in captive settings. Elephants deserve to live free. Wildlife belongs in the wild.
