152-yr-old Tata Group could be taking a leaf from Mukesh Ambani playbook as it is in talks with Walmart Inc. for a $25 bn investment in a super-app, a multipurpose online platform.
Going through their Instagrams and dissecting their ‘statements’ is not the astute political commentary you think it is—it is time for us to back off from targeting 20-year-olds.
