Baby Jalebi

Suraj Nehra, Rati Nehra and Gunia Chopra founded Baby Jalebi in 2013 when Rati and Chopra had babies. The brand started with one tailor and one woman to help iron and pack the products and today has hundreds of craftsmen working for it. Newborn essentials such as mittens and booties, changing stations, diaper caddies, baby bedding, diaper bags and gift boxes are available for purchase. They use 100 per cent organic cotton and their latest range focuses on hand embroidery.
Currently, they are busy expanding their range.

Price ₹1,500 to ₹25,000; At www.babyjalebi.​com

Cinta

It took Rupika Harshwardhan P three years of development to launch CINTA in 2024. The brand retails furniture, toys and decor, primarily crafted from a sustainable material rattan, rooted in traditional crafts. Some designs use water hyacinth. Their USP? Each piece (be it the Lyla Butterfly Chair, Little Lamb Bassinet or Luna Unicorn storage basket) is designed keeping a child's safety in mind.

THE TIP OF THE SPEAR

IN India’s arsenal against Left-wing Extremism, the Naxal surrender policy has emerged as a crucial weapon. By providing Naxal cadres a peaceful exit, the policy has reduced insurgent numbers, disrupted leadership structures and logistical support, and yielded valuable intelligence for counter-insurgency operations. Over the past five years, nearly 3,000 rebels, including mid-level leaders, have surrendered in Chhattisgarh, significantly weakening Naxal influence in its last bastion.

What followed was an enactment of brevity.
