India’s federal system of States and the Union.

India’s recent growth story is now much analyzed, and quite well understood. Despite some temporary controversy over the relative impacts of economic reforms in the 1980s and 1990s – hesitant and piecemeal in the first of those decades, deeper and more systematic in the subsequent period – the new consensus is not very different from the old, namely, that an overall shift in economic policy toward greater reliance on the market for resource allocation, including greater openness to the global economy, has been an important factor in increasing India’s average growth rate from its previous low levels. This recognition of the role of market competition does not diminish the Indian government’s past importance in building physical infrastructure and human capital, and in providing stability and safety nets. Nevertheless, the reform of India’s governance is one of two major strands of current policy debates, the other being areas where further “liberalization” of the economy is needed (e.g., small scale industry reservations, privatization, and matters pertaining to openness to foreign capital). Debates about India’s governance include old concerns about corruption, affirmative action (e.g., the latest controversy over quotas in higher education) and social safety nets (e.g., the new Employment Guarantee Scheme), as well as newer worries about growing regional inequality. Managing the public finances appropriately has been an obvious part of the reform story, since fiscal deficits have been a continuing problem for well over a decade. Within the broader context of governance, issues of federalism and decentralization have been addressed in a somewhat piecemeal fashion. Thus, the need for fiscal consolidation has focused considerable attention on the states’ situations in this regard, and the central government, central bank, and central Finance Commission have all made efforts to ameliorate aspects of the states’ fiscal crisis. At the same time, the decentralization to local governments, put in motion by the 73rd and 74th amendments to the Constitution, has been proceeding unevenly, and with mixed success. States have made various kinds of efforts to attract investment, done various deals with multilateral agencies, and wrestled with potentially major tax reforms, all the while struggling with fulfilling their constitutional responsibilities to constituencies such as the rural poor.

Underlying all the developments in economic policymaking, and concerns about governance, therefore, is the working of India’s federal system. It is important to understand what this system is, what it does, and how it has been changing in response to the forces put in motion by India’s renewed struggle to fulfill its “tryst with destiny” by substantially improving the well-being of all its citizens in a tangible manner. In particular, many of India’s fiscal federal institutions evolved in the context of a planned economy, with the state playing a dominant role and that of the private sector and markets heavily circumscribed, and largely closed to the outside world. Economic liberalization with state control receding and markets coming into their own, and globalization together require a comprehensive reassessment of these institutions.

In today’s time we have seen multiple examples where this federal system of India had been challenged. We’ve seen example of west-bengal and telangana states of India who denied to no-permit entry of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), where CBI holds power of independent investigation from the Indian constitution and as per that CBI officials need not seek any kind of permit to enter into any of Indian states. CBI when required can be into any Indian state because it comes under its investigation needs. Another recent example is the on-going dispute between Maharashtra’s and Bihar’s police, where two different FIRs had been launched for the same case of Indian Bollywood actor Sushant singh’s death. Here, Mumbai police’s investigation has been repeatedly alleged to delay the investigation process. Things were stretched into far ends when Bihar police’s investigation team was forcibly taken off from their scheduled press meeting. Another example was set when Bihar police’s IPS officer who came Mumbai in regards to FIR filled in Patna was held and sent into 14 days quarantine. Now this is seen as a fight between two Indian state police and their prestige, such activities seriously damage India’s federal integrity of state and the union.

Ambulance staff in Tamil Nadu turn midwives for woman

A 23-year-old, Aishwarya developed labor pains during the wee hours of the morning. Her husband and mother rushed her to the Rapussal Primary Health Centre (PHC).

“It was 2 am when we went to the PHC. The staff there said that the baby’s head was turning, and asked us to go to the Pudukkottai Medical College Hospital,” said Gopalakrishnan.

On their way to MCH, Aishwarya experienced excruciating pain and discomfort, and that’s where the ambulance driver, and the emergency medical technician stopped the ambulance and helped Aishwarya deliver her baby.

“The lives of both the mother and the baby were at stake here, and that is when we decided to proceed with the delivery,” said the medical technician.

“I could see their struggle while delivering the baby. It was a little complicated, yet they managed it well. They made us feel very comfortable. We will be forever grateful to them,” said Gopalakrishnan.

The new born’s parents were incredibly delighted and grateful to them for saving the lives of the mother as well of the child.

Devabaskaran, the ambulance driver, and Boopathiraja, the emergency medical technician, had helped with deliveries for over 10 women in the past year itself.

Tamil Nadu village goes without streetlights for 35 days to make home for bird and its chicks

A. Karuppuraja, a student of Pothakudi village said that a common switchboard near his house has the switches for all the 35 streetlights.

“When the lockdown began, I saw a bird filling the box with straw and leaves, when I looked into it, I could see 3 greenish-blue eggs with spots,” said the 20 y/o.

The village youngsters had a common WhatsApp group called Pottakudi Ilaingnargal Kuzhu. Karuppuraja shared the bird story and all the 35 members decided to ensure the bird nested in peace for the eggs to hatch.

The group members went around the village convincing the nearly 100 households to refrain from switching the streetlights til the nesting period gets over. H. Kaleeswari, the President of Panchayat joined in too.

“Some readily agreed. Others called it stupid to switch of light for a small bird. But we managed to convince everyone and the entire village has gone without streetlights for 35 days now,” said N. Muruganantham, a villager.

The villagers said that they would clean the box and restore the power once their “winged visitors” leave.

For now they are managing with the help of torches and flash lights from mobile phone to continue their routine.

Education in India for girls

As we know school has been arrived for girls in India since 2009. So why aren’t they going ?

In 2018 , 13.5% of girls between the ages 15 16 where out of school, as opposed to more than 20 person in 2008 according to the 2018 annual status of education report release in January this year.

There are several advantages of developing female education in India, since education can play an important role in the development of the country. Improve literacy rate that is India’s literacy rate continues to be below the global average many NGO’s have helped to make a slight difference in the literacy rate .

The Big Four: Review

The Big Four is a novel by Agatha Christie published in the year 1927 which has a very intriguing story. The action in the novel begins from the very first moment when Captain Hastings arrives at his friend, Hercule Poirot’s place. They have an unexpected guest at his place. He has some very important information to give but is killed at the detective’s very place in his absence. This is related to a case Poirot had shown interest in lately. Further some incidents occur which again point to the same case. What is in common, is the number Four.

The novel series a very consistent fight between the people who make up the four the Big Four. Everytime it seems that Poirot has got to them seem to go even farther. It has the power of science, money, criminal brain and artistic mastery against Poirot’s own brain which he famously calls “little grey cells”. There are a lot of red herrings Agatha Christie has employed in such a way that you can’t help but read along. The story is told by Hastings who has his share of adventures and a very significant part to play in the novel. For the first time you will be introduced to a relation of Poirot: Poirot has endured a lot more than in any of his novels that I have read.

Christie has employed a very revealing/unrevealing kind of story telling style. You seem to know a lot of things but yet you know nothing. At some places you are able to guess what Poirot has posed as a question to Hastings but not always is that assumption true. But at the same time I am not very satisfied with the ending of the novel. It would have been better if Christie would have given more explaination. because during the endpoint it seems to have done his action all in the background. Evan Hastings is unaware of them. Nevertheless this book is worth reading.

Missing Rakhi from my sister

You never knew what you had untill you haven’t have it. I never knew that someday this day would come. I never felt sad because I was happy always. My sister never ever forget to sent Raksha Bandhan band to me. She either sent it or tied it. I never felt so sad for such things because she always sent it. But this time it was different. My sister tried her best to sent it to me but it was out of delivery or lately received. So she thought of making it to me whenever she was with me.

I had friends but very few. How could I make sisters when there exists no one whom I know. I never spoke to someone until they spoke. I never greeted someone till they do. So I have none to call me as a brother apart from my sister. That’s my fault to make my life stick to myself. Today is the only day my hand left with no rakhis. Everytime I don’t have to think about it because I had it. Almost all my friends had it even though they don’t have sisters. Everytime my sister used to tie rakhis to my friends but not now. This time it was quite opposite because my friends had it but not me. It might look like a silly thing to you, ofcourse it’s a silly thing to become sad of. Why do I feels sad ri Suh silly thing even after knowing it as a silly thing. Because ones emotions are unpredictable. We never know until it came.

I can’t stop looking at my friends rakhis because there are none on my hand. I know it’s hard to handle if you can’t get what you want. Sometimes it’s good to miss sister because it makes us think about her. Being same will always makes us bore so for a change now I am experiencing this too. I am so shy to share this writing even to my sister because there’s no way that I can make you feel the same way that I feel.

Happy Rakshabandhan to all the sisters who are reading this post because it’s the least that I could do

Depression

Depression is different from usual mood fluctuations and short-lived emotional responses to challenges in everyday life. Especially when long-lasting and with moderate or severe intensity, depression may become a serious health condition. It can cause the affected person to suffer greatly and function poorly at work, at school and in the family. At its worst, depression can lead to suicide. Close to 800 000 people die due to suicide every year. Suicide is the second leading cause of death in 15-29-year-olds.The burden of depression and other mental health conditions is on the rise globally.depression is caused by a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors, according to the NIMH. Certain medical conditions may also trigger depression, including an underactive thyroid gland, cancer, heart disease, prolonged pain and other significant illnesses.

Depression is a state of low mood and aversion to activity that can affect a person’s thoughts, behavior, feelings and sense of well-being. People with depressed mood can feel sad, anxious, empty, hopeless, helpless, worthless, guilty, irritable, ashamed or restless. Depressed mood is a feature of some psychiatric syndromes such as major depressive disorder but it may also be a normal reaction to life events such as bereavement, a symptom of some bodily ailments or a side effect of some drugs and medical treatments.

Deepression is as “living in a black hole” or having a feeling of impending doom. However, some depressed people don’t feel sad at all—they may feel lifeless, empty, and apathetic, or men in particular may even feel angry, aggressive, and restless. Whatever the symptoms, depression is different from normal sadness in that it engulfs your day-to-day life, interfering with your ability to work, study, eat, sleep, and have fun. The feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and worthlessness are intense and unrelenting, with little, if any,

The medical community does not fully understand the causes of depression. There are many possible causes, and sometimes, various factors combine to trigger symptoms.

Factors that are likely to play a role include:

  • genetic features
  • changes in the brain’s neurotransmitter levels
  • environmental factors
  • psychological and social factors

A person should only take these medications as their doctor prescribes. Some drugs can take a while to have an impact. By stopping the drug, a person may not experience the benefits that it could offer.

Some people stop taking medication after symptoms improve, but this can lead to a relapse.

Raise any concerns about antidepressants with a doctor, including any intention to stop taking the Some people use natural remedies, such as herbal medicines, to treat mild-to-moderate depression.

Don’t let the desire of a successful future destroy your present

Vaishali Singh ( Cheenu Singh Rathore)

This four lettered word “LIFE” is the synonym of living and nothing else, don’t waste it about thinking over the things which have either happened in the past or more likely have not even happened yet, this is a constantly changing world, everything is temporary in this world even you and me, we are perishable, then what are you doing why are you wasting your life over thinking of the things which are just confined within your mind doors, they are not reality they just exist within in your mind most of the problems you have in your life have originated from overthinking, be in now and enjoy this moment, live this moment because this moment is life, don’t take it too seriously, don’t put too much pressure on your mind, don’t let the desire of a successful future destroy your present, if you think that a sad present can give you a beautiful life then you’re wrong because life is now and if you can’t make yourself happy being in this moment then how can you expect it from yourself that attaining a certain goals will make you happy? If something doesn’t satisfy you today then how can you think that it will give you a beautiful and peaceful life, most of the people destroy their life either thinking about their past or caring about their uncertain future, we human being have only 5 senses, we can never analyse what’s going to happen in the future the only thing which is in our hand is to take actions but we can never predict the result of our actions and most of times the way we perceive our future is not exactly how it turns out to be, now the current scenario of world is a good example of the uncertainty of life, no one knew that this would happened in the beginning of 2020 all of us had a tons and tons of plans for our new year but our plans got failed they turned out to be something called “LOCK DOWN” we are at our home today, probably many of us had a lot of plans and wishes with our family, or friends but today it’s not safe to step out of our homes unnecessarily, this is life man, this is the reality and nothing can change the fact no matter how many plans you make, no matter how much time you waste in figuring out your life, at the end you will have even more questions than before. So live your life instead of worrying.

THE REAL YOU

“We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.” — May Sarton

We as humans are curious creatures. We explore, invent, discover and compose. But when it comes to knowing ourselves we are unfortunately lagging.

There are different expressions you might have come across in your readings about self-growth. Some call it the “fear of success”, while others term it as the “fear of failure”. However, I would like to name it the “Fear of Exploring Yourself”.

Now I am using the phrase “Exploring Yourself’ as opposed to “Knowing Yourself”. This is for the reason being that different experiences in your life would require a different version of you and one can’t really ‘know themselves’ unless they have undergone all the encounters and life incidences that shape their existence. Exploring oneself would then be a pre-requisite to know your true self.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.” — Marianne Williamson

Deep down inside of us, we all are aware of our light its hidden glory. But its gleam is so bright that we are terrified to embrace it. Instead, we prefer to stand in the distance contemplating, procrastinating, making up excuses and taking solace in the fact that our holy grail is inside of us, within reach, yet unreachable.

We are too scared to dive into that deep ocean, too anxious to unravel and unearth its boundless depths. So we cling to predictability. Certainty and the delusion of control is the only thing that keeps us sane. It is in our very nature to hold on to what is familiar as a way of exercising control over the capriciousness of life. By confirming to others, getting a degree you are not passionate about, getting married, sticking to the job whose satisfaction is worth the paycheque credited every month, we end up shielding ourselves from our magnificence.

Procrastination, perfectionism and not taking risks are the expressions fabricated by someone who is trying to rationalize their avoidance approach for the goals that overwhelm them or burns them with such passion that they are afraid to lose sight of the shores. Yet these burnings are our inner calling that has receded into the depth of our oceans waiting to be discovered.

Logotherapy states that every human contains a will to find meaning and purpose in their life. And those who are aware of this ‘why’ can endure almost any life stressors. The purpose of the existence of human life is not only different for each being, so is the way you stumble upon it. That being said, the sole way to find your motive in life is to explore your true self.

6 Steps to Discover Your True Self

1. Be quiet.

You cannot and will not be able to know yourself until you take the time to be still. Many people don’t know themselves because any sort of silence scares them; it’s too uncomfortable to be alone with every flaw staring back at them. But it isn’t until you get alone, evaluate yourself and are completely truthful with yourself that you will be able to see every facet of your life—the good and the bad. Be quiet and discover your true self.

2. Realize who you truly are, not who you want to be.

I know you already have a set idea of who you desperately want to be, but it might not be who you were designed to be; this is why knowing who you are is so important. When you know who you are, you will finally see where you and your specific gifts fit into the bigger picture.

3. Find what you are good at (and not good at).

This might be the most difficult step in the process of finding who you are, but it’s a necessary one. Sure, it takes trial and error to find what you’re good at, and no, I don’t want you to give up before you’ve had more than enough attempts, but knowing when to quit is a gift that everyone needs to learn.

4. Find what you are passionate about.

Following the passion of any kind is a good thing, and you need to pay attention when it comes because it indicates an area of life that you need to pay more attention to. If we’re talking about following your passion in work, it’s a good thing. And if we’re talking about having more passion for life, it’s a good thing. Focus more on passion; understand yourself in better ways, and you’ll make a bigger impact. Passion produces effort and continuous effort produces results.

5. Ask for feedback.

If you don’t know yourself, hearing what others have to say about you is a helpful practice. Ask them two simple questions: “What strengths do you think I need to develop further?” and “What weaknesses do you think I need to work on?” Of course, their opinion isn’t going to be perfect, but their feedback will probably indicate a few areas you should at least take a second look at. This step is especially important for those who are stuck in finding themselves. Sometimes those closest to us can see something we might not be able to see in ourselves.

6. Assess your relationships.

A large aspect of knowing yourself can be found in your relationships. When you realize you’ll never truly know anyone else until you discover yourself, the importance of knowing yourself becomes even more apparent. This truth especially rings true for business leaders, because if you don’t know the people on your team, then you will be lost as a leader. But this rule also applies to any relationship in your life. Almost as much as you need to know yourself, other people also need to know who you are. People need you—the real you.

Personality Development:

Development of personality also plays an significant part in our lives. And everywhere we go our attitude significantly influences that everything. As the attitude of an individual determines their behaviour and tends to decide their attributes that people look for. In order to be successful in today’s environment one must still be clever and quick-witted.It’s not only about how much commitment you bring into your job, but it’s also about how much confidence you have to do about what you do. Let’s talk about someone you respect. What kind of attitude do they possess? They should typically hold certain decent and appropriate personality characteristics to adopt.

So lets talk about the tips used to develop our personality:

Know yourself:

While shaping our personalities One must proceed by having a close look at themselves, examining their qualities, strengths and shortcomings and everything that needs to be improved on. One does not steer away from acknowledging their faults and seek to improve as best as possible.

Bring positivity in your outlook:

While improving personality, you should learn to put optimistic environment around you and the more optimistic your thoughts and behavior can be, the more your personality will be attracted. The way we perceive impacts a lot on the way we behaved.If one thrives in his mind with optimistic thinking so it always gives him a boost of trust and strengthens his personality. Life situations and circumstances will still be complete ups and downs.

 Have an opinion:

Never be afraid to place your opinion or view in front of people, it really impacts greatly on your personality. Never shy away from projecting your opinions even if they happen to conflict with those of other people.Getting a perspective and being willing to bring it out with conviction not only serves to keep the discussions engaging, it also lets you seem more confident and informed towards other individuals. It’ll make you feel important too

Meet new people

Meeting new and varied styles of people is a positive step towards widening your horizons and opening yourself to more things. You have a opportunity to know more about different communities and behaviors and that has a profound impact on your own personality.

Be a good listener

“Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.”  True it is. Being a good listener may not seem like but it is an important step towards achieving a more likable personality.  Listen with curiosity while someone is talking to you, and show them all the respect and significance. Keep a direct eye contact so should not get separated from the environment. It can allow you to get to learn a lot about individuals and to properly attend them.

Read more often and develop new interests

A person with very few interests would have very least to think about. Yet if you do something really well maintain a variety of interests, more people tend to appreciate you. Rather of being predictable and boring, you might start up engaging discussions. You don’t have to worry about what to do when you meet new people, when you can express your experience or your desires and have them indulged

Be a little fun

Oh yes, this is necessary! Being able to find a humorous side in otherwise terrible situations and bringing a little quirkiness of your own is appreciated by one and all. Everybody loves a person who can make them laugh and bring a funny perspective to the regular things of life. One does not need to be all serious and sober all the time but adorning your funny hat (not literally) every once in a while will turn you in to a more charming personality.

Be courteous

Being courteous is never out of fashion and is well appreciated and respected by everyone. Be humble and greet everyone with a smile. Never shy away from helping or supporting your peers and being available to them whenever they need you.Playing spontaneous acts of kindness will not only improve someone else’s day but will also help you come along as an pleasant human. It’ll also offer confidence boost to your personality. Be respectful to your juniors and senior citizens alike, and down to earth.

 Work on your Body Language

For your personality the body language is just as critical as your verbal communication skills. It says a lot about yourself and makes people create correct speculation about you. Anything like walking, sitting, interacting or eating has an impact on the people around you and developing a good body language can do wonders for your personality. Walk in an upright position with shoulders straight. Do not droop. Sit in a relaxed posture and make always eye contact while speaking.

 Check your attire

I am not abruptly beginning to emphasize about your exterior self instead of your skills and abilities but one’s attire has an important role to play while making a desirable impression. And not just that, but it also gives yourself a confidence boost knowing that you look good and are dressed appropriately. Dress up in a decent manner and keeping your surroundings in mind. While flashy colors and too much body tattoos or piercings convey an unprofessional attitude, neatly ironed clothes make you look presentable.

Be yourself

While one can always look up to other people and draw influence from them, you can always be your own unique self. Each of us is special, we have our own sets of talents and weaknesses so pretending to imitate someone else doesn’t get you anywhere and just backfires. Trying so much to blend into or desire to be part of a new community will never take away the individuality and uniqueness. Never try moulding into another person but instead work on being the best version of yourself.

 Be confident

Yes, that’s the key.The most critical advice for personality growth is to feel positive in who you are and what you are doing. Never question your ability, and if there is something you need to improve on, bring all the energy into it so that you can conquer your doubts and build trust.Read stories of accomplishment or fill yourself with positive thoughts or “encouragements” that will improve your self-esteem and help you maintain a strong personality. Only all you do is have confidence in yourself and throw your good work into it. Within your temperament there can be nothing more attractive than incredible confidence.

Sports shoe industry in India

Indians are becoming health conscious, and this is evident in the number of gymnasiums and sports centres that have mushroomed in the last one decade. The media is partly responsible for spreading the fever of health consciousness, and it has benefitted the Indian society. One sector that has benefitted the most from the growing health consciousness of Indians is the sports shoe industry. One cannot take part in sports related activities without proper footwear and this has pulled up the revenue of sports shoe companies greatly.   

The sportswear industry in India is valued at between Rs 3,500 crores and Rs 5,000 crores. And the unchallenged market leader in sports shoes is Reebok. In fact, Reebok holds a 46% market share in India and India is the only country in which Reebok’s brand value has surpassed that of both Nike and Adidas. In fact, Nike has a mere 11% market share.   The top four sporting brands in India are Reebok, Adidas, Nike, and Puma. There are other brands that manufacture sports shoes such as Bata, Liberty, Woodland, Fila, and Lotto, but their brand value is not as strong as the four leading brands mentioned earlier. India’s footwear segment in general caters to men, women and kids, and men’s footwear comprises 55% of the entire industry, followed by women’s footwear at 30% and kids’ footwear at 15%.   

Studies have shown that there is not much brand dilution in the sports shoe industry but there is brand confusion among consumers. The average consumer, who is not extremely knowledgeable about shoe technology, finds it difficult to distinguish between shoes produced by Nike, Adidas and Reebok. In fact, Puma is the only brand that has managed to carve out a space for itself as a fashion brand too. In fact, the design of Puma shoes is slightly different from the rest – Puma shoes are sleek. In India, people do not just wear sports shoes while taking part in sporting activities; they wear them with casual attire too, which is why Reebok has managed to garner a huge market share. Reebok shoes are designed in such a way that they can be worn with casual attire too – the designs and colors are not as flashy as other brands.     

Another reason why Reebok has made its way into so many Indian households is because Reebok shoes are relatively more affordable than the other reputed brands. Indians, especially those in the middle class, are conscious about the price. Given such market conditions, Reebok has an advantage over other brands because it has a wide price range for shoes, from Rs 1,200 to Rs 7,000. This way, consumers have more options while choosing Reebok shoes as opposed to Nike, Puma or Adidas shoes, whose prices start at a much higher level.  

The sports shoe industry in India is definitely going to grow, given people’s awareness and how conscious they are about their health. One of the selling propositions of sports shoe brands in most parts of the world is the technology behind the shoe. At present, the average Indian consumer is not as aware of these technologies as he should be, which is why brands such as Nike, which develops shoes with unique technologies, are not very popular in India. However, this will soon change with greater publicity and awareness.

The footwear industry is one of the most rapidly expanding industries globally. Increasing demand for new and innovative footwear and the emergence of various global as well as regional brands across segments in the category is primarily driving the market. Innovative and trendy footwear is being consistently manufactured by leading market players due to advancement in the footwear manufacturing process, technological innovations, and development of new material.

India is globally the second largest footwear producer after China. India’s footwear production accounts for approximately 9% of the global annual production of 22 billion pair as compared to China which produces over 60%. Key production centres in the country include Kanpur and Agra in Uttar Pradesh, Ranipet, Vaniyambadi and Ambur in Tamil Nadu. The sector is fragmented and close to 75% production comes from the unorganised sector including very small, small and medium enterprises

With the expanding market, the needs of the consumers are also fast changing. Rapid urbanization, higher disposable incomes and greater penetration of media have led to changing fashion needs of the consumers. The footwear industry in India is highly labour intensive and currently employs close to three million people. Out of this, almost 30% are women. Kanpur, Agra, Ranipet, Vaniyambadi, and Ambur are the top footwear production hubs in the country. Today, urbanisation, higher disposable incomes and media influence are changing the needs of consumers and dictating the types of footwear these hubs produce for brands.

Dominant players in the organised market include international brands Bata, Nike, Adidas, Nike, Puma, etc. But customers’ tastes are changing so rapidly that scores of Indian footwear brands, both old and new, are innovating their products and trying to capture the unorganised market.

Woodland, a highly sought-after brand for a lot of millennials, has Indian roots. Aero Group, the parent company of Woodland, was founded by Avatar Singh in Quebec, Canada, in the 1980s. At the time, the company manufactured winter boots for Canada and Russia. Aero Group’s business was at its peak until the 1990s when the Russian market went down with the disintegration of the Soviet Union. In 1992, Aero Group decided to enter India after seeing the developing market conditions and the opening up of exclusive retail outlets and mall culture. Woodland was thus launched under Aero Group.

The raw materials used for shoes, including soles, are manufactured in-house. Italian machinery is used for tanning and finishing the hand-picked Italian hides. German technology is used to manufacture tough rubber soles. Woodland has over 600 EBOs across the country along with shelf space in 5,500 multi-brand outlets (MBOs). The company now clocks a turnover of Rs 1,250 crore.
