A foreign brand that became quintessentially Indian
In the tiny Czech town of Zlín, Tomáš Baťa grew his family’s modest shoe shop into a veritable empire, founded on local craft, modern technology and a globalized perspective. In the 1930s, he turned his attention to India – a land of great industrial potential and abundant skilled labour. This move was welcomed by leaders of business and the freedom struggle as a step towards building a self-sufficient, independent nation. Thus, the foundation stone of one of India’s earliest company towns, Batanagar, was laid in 1934 near Kolkata, inscribed with the words ‘a monument to international understanding and collaboration’. Over the following decades, the town grew into a bastion of innovative thinking, cosmopolitanism and community.
Former resident Paramita Sen paints a vivid picture of her childhood in this idyllic town in the 1970s and '80s, while also examining the larger context of the march of Indian history. She traces the impact of key moments on Batanagar – such as the Bengal Famine of 1943, the end of colonial rule in 1947, the rise of the Naxalbari movement in the 1960s and more. The town and its ethos captured the imagination of luminaries like Nehru and Tagore and was at the centre of some of Bata’s landmark innovations, such as the iconic hawai chappal, which endeared the brand to its Indian consumers, who comprise its largest market to this day.
Like other Bata company towns around the world – Batadorp (Netherlands), Batapur (Pakistan) and Batatuba (Brazil) – Batanagar’s unique legacy has been all but lost to posterity in the throes of disrepair and redevelopment over the decades. Batanagar shines a light on this pioneering Czech company and its iconic Indian company town
‘The greatest danger of the artificial intelligence (AI) age is not smarter machines. It is humans slowly losing belief in their own uniqueness.’
Something unsettling is happening around us.
Young people are beginning to feel average before life has even started. Professionals are exhausting themselves trying to prove they still matter in a world obsessed with speed, optimization and constant reinvention.
In our pursuit of smarter machines, many are starting to believe they are replaceable.
As leaders race to outstrip each other in building AI-first organizations, Humans First, Machines Second challenges the new wave that is quietly reshaping workplaces, classrooms and lives.
Through 30 ‘sparks’―powerful stories and hard-won lessons from boardrooms, classrooms and crises―Vineet Nayar reveals a radically different path to winning in the age of AI. Not by competing with machines on speed.
But by rediscovering what makes human beings extraordinary and irreplaceable.
Provocative, practical and deeply hopeful, this is a guide for anyone who wants to thrive, lead and remain human in a world being redesigned by AI.
‘AI may change the rules. But only humans decide who wins.’
The Briar University universe is actually a massive interconnected romance world spanning multiple series that follow the players, their friends, and the next generation and it's binge worthy!
The Veil and The Sword - Women in the Court and Life of Maharaja Ranjit Singh
The author was in conversation with Jagbans Singh, Former Chairman of Punjab Public Service Comission and Former Deputy Comptroller and Auditor General.
From uncovering the extraordinary influence of the women who shaped Maharaja Ranjit Singh's life and legacy, namely Sada Kaur, Moran Sarkar, Jindan Kaur, amongst others, to exploring the craft of writing historical fiction, the conversation was both insightful and inspiring.
The author shared how her background in psychology adds emotional depth to her characters and also shared the challenges faced by an author to finally get a manuscript published.
Jagbans Singh enriched the discussion with fascinating historical anecdotes, including references to the Kohinoor and the sati of the hill Rajput widows of Maharaja Ranjit Singh.
A truly engaging session that left the audience captivated and eager to learn more.

by Sowmiya Ashok
Since its discovery in 2014, the Keeladi excavation has become one of India's most contested digs – hailed by some as proof of an urban civilization in South India and dismissed by others as political mythmaking.
Journalist Sowmiya Ashok traces the serendipitous discovery of this ancient settlement and the political storm it set off.
Her journey takes her from the earliest Iron Age sites in Tamil Nadu to the Harappan site of Rakhigarhi in Haryana and the lost port of Muziris in Kerala. Along the way, she chats with archaeologists while sweating under the scorching sun, clings to rickety platforms at a roaring jallikattu arena, and even tastes ancient pottery at an excavation site.
Blending sharp insight with humour, The Dig reveals how political battles over science and history continue to shape our understanding of India's past.

In early 1948, living at Kingsway Camp, Delhi, Bhag and Balraj met and fell in love. While she worked as a junior clerk at the Ministry of Rehabilitation, he picked up odd jobs until 1953, when he became the proud owner of a small bookshop in Khan Market, which he named Bahrisons. Sometimes they would meet in the camp after work; on other days, he would bring a string of jasmine flowers for her hair from India Gate.
The couple married in 1955 and dedicated their lives to books. Through conversations with customers, publishers, distributors, authors, and other booksellers, Balraj curated a substantial collection. While profits from the shop went directly back into the business, it was Bhag who ran the household on her income.
When after sixty years of marriage, Balraj passed away in 2016, Bhag, in her 80’s, returned to the shop to take his place. She could often be seen sitting with a book in hand, conversing with customers and employees alike. Until her passing earlier this year, she remained actively involved in the business.
Over the years, we have grown from a single shop in Khan Market to multiple stores across India. The next generation, Anuj and his wife, Rajni, run the bookstores today with their trusted team. As Bahrisons turns a grand 70, we invite you to visit our bookstores in Delhi, Gurugram, Chandigarh, Kolkata, and Noida, to celebrate the joy of reading and writing.
