LAILA MAIN LAILA AISI HOON LAILA HAR KOI CHAHE MUHJSE MILNA AKELA
☾♔; March 17, 2024 ☾♔; 4:56pm ☾♔; sotd: What Jhumka? (from Rocky aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani) ☾♔; cotd: Rani Chatterjee ☾♔; Thistle Grove Academy ☾♔; Storyboard/Important Connections
𝐓𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞: lyrics from "Laila Main Laila"
I've always sucked at making storyboard type sets, but YIKES. lol, whatever.
【 𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐖 】
Laila is an heiress of 𝓡𝓪𝓲𝓬𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓭 Industries, an Indian multinational conglomerate founded by Laila's great-grandfather, Thakur Raj Raichand, in the early 1950's after Partition. While the company has long since gone public, it is still majority owned by the Raichand Family, and they run every aspect of it. Now Mumbai (Bombay) based, the Raichand's originate from the state of Rajasthan where the family once owned a fairly large piece of land that was sold off when Laila's grandfather was young. After succeeding in Bombay, the land was repurchased, as well as much of the surrounding area and a large palace named Chandshah Haveli was constructed in the Indo-Saracenic architecture style.
Karshvar is the seven-story Raichand estate in Mumbai, located on Altamount Road (also known as Billionaires’ Row), the name of the estate comes from Zoroastrian mythology. The Avesta, the primary collection of religious texts in Zoroastrianism, describes seven Karshwar, climbs or zones, that organize the world into seven circles superimposed on top of one another, separated by waters, mountains, and forests. Until the completion of the Ambani’s Antilia, Karshvar was the most expensive private residence in the country, possibly the entire region, and yes, it is more expensive than their literal palace in Rajasthan (as an FYI, Antilia is the most expensive private residence in the world, as of 2014, might’ve been surpassed by now). However, Karshvar still claims the most ground floor square footage of the road.
The Raichand's are a relatively traditional family, certainly in western standards, though they are considered very progressive amongst other Desi's, having a very religiously mixed and accepting family, and very matriarchal family. Women have long held authoritative power over the family, though that has passed matrimonially, with the wife of each successive head of the family gaining that authority. Overall the Raichands are a Hindu family, however, their spouses have come from all over India and beyond, of varied faiths and sects, due to this, the Raichand’s also have large celebrations for holidays of multiple religions, obviously Hinduism, as well as Sikhism, Jainism, and Islam. Their biggest events are Diwali, Durga Puja, Vaisakhi, Navratri, Karva Chauth, Eid, the First and Last Iftars of Ramadan, and Holi. They also have a fairly large, but private, family only event for Raksha Bandhan.
Laila is not close to her maternal family at all, neither is her mother. She's asked about them a couple times before, but her mother doesn't have the best expression when talking about her family, so Laila stopped asking. If they want to know them, they can find them, it's not Laila's problem. She’s not even completely sure if her mom’s original last name is even Burakgazi, her parents have changed the story a few times, but have more or less stayed consistent that they met while her father was working. At one point the story was almost identical to the plot of the film Bang Bang!, wherein a RAW agent supposedly stole the Koor-i-noor diamond back from the British, something involving multi-national terrorists, and her mom being a bank teller caught in the middle after her dad hijacked her blind date, none of which made any sense, but it was a fun story.

𝓐𝓵𝓮𝔂𝓷𝓪 𝓑𝓾𝓻𝓪𝓴𝓰𝓪𝔃𝓲 & 𝓥𝓲𝓴𝓻𝓪𝓷𝓽 𝓡𝓪𝓲𝓬𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓭 FC: Beren Saat & Hrithik Roshan

𝓨𝓸𝓰𝓮𝓼𝓱 𝓡𝓪𝓲𝓬𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓭 & 𝓜𝓸𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓲 𝓡𝓪𝓲𝓬𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓭 née Tiwari FC: Amitabh Bachchan & Jaya Bachchan
Dadaji aur Dadi (paternal grandparents, literally means grandpa/grandma, ji is a respectful suffix, not always used, and can be omitted based on the personal relationship or the situation).
Dadi does not have a favourite grandchild, she loves them all equally. She does, however, have a favourite child, and that is Veer. Papa and Auntie Riya do not like to talk about it.

Tauji & Taiji
(if you see chacha, chachi in the set, no you don't. look, I'm a Bengali okay, not Indian, and in Bengali, there is no Tauji, your dad's brothers are all chacha)
Zaara is publicly referred to as “Zaara Bhabhi”, by netizens, Raichand Industries employees, and other industrialists, all of whom regard her as the true head of Raichand Industries, as even though she does not work in the company, Veer’s love for her and deference to her is well-known, and she has the last word on everything. Because of this she is often the target for schmoozing campaigns (though it doesn’t necessarily work, a lot of Laila’s judgey and stubborn personality comes from her).

Aka the Mean Girls! They are so judgey and bitchy, and kinda ice cold. Very much alienate others by speaking in languages only the three of them will understand, usually Portuguese while in Dubai, and Arabic elsewhere. The three are neighbours, living in the same residential Skyscraper in Downtown Dubai, though all three's families have additional properties in Dubai, and with Kiran in particular, the Desai's have a villa right next to the Raichand one on the Palm Jumeirah. They also went to the same private school until Laila and Isabella started attending Thistle Grove.

Do I think I'm being funny by flipping their filmi fam's? Yeah.
𝓚𝓪𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓪 𝓚𝓪𝔃𝓲 FC: Mimi Keene
Kat is Payal and Kiran’s second cousin (probably), her paternal grandmother, Rashmi, is the sister of Yogesh Raichand’s best friend and Payal and Kiran’s grandfather, all three (Yogesh and the Desai siblings) grew up together, Rashmi and Yogesh even dated with talks of marriage until he met Mohini. Rashmi eventually married Kat’s paternal grandfather, and the couple moved to London for his work. A couple years younger than the Emirati trio, Kat lived most of her life in the UK, until her parents company moved them to their Dubai offices, and she built a closer relationship with Kiran and joined her friend group. Having grown up abroad, Kat’s Hindi isn’t great, though she can understand the gist of what is being said, her Arabic is far more fluent.
𝓐𝓷𝓽𝓸𝓷𝓲𝓪 𝓓𝓮𝓿𝓻𝓮𝓾𝔁 FC: Meghan Roche
Kat’s cousin-in-law (I do not know why I’m asoiaf noble housing this situation),
𝓐𝓪𝓻𝓸𝓷 𝓜𝓮𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓸 𝓡𝓸𝓳𝓪𝓼 FC: Manu Ríos
A new addition to the Emirati gang, Aarón joined the friends after moving to Dubai following his mother’s marriage to Siddharth Singhania, and making him the younger step-brother of Vikram Singhania, both of whom are part of the Raichand generational family friends group. Senior Singhania being a close friend of Veer, Vikrant, and Riya, while Vikram is besties with Yash and Zoya.
【 𝐄𝐗𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐃 𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 】
I am very normal and not creating 80 thousand additional relationships.
𝓢𝓪𝓶𝓪𝓻𝓪 𝓡𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓱𝓪𝔀𝓪 FC: Kriti Sanon
A slightly more distant cousin (second I think, don’t ask me), Samara is the granddaughter of Yogesh Raichand’s youngest sister, Sriti. Samara grew up primarily in Delhi with her paternal family, but often celebrated religious holidays with the Raichands.
𝓢𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓶 𝓑𝓪𝓴𝓼𝓱𝓲 FC: Pooja Hegde
Vijay's cousin, daughter of one his dad's sisters. Studied at the University of Orléans (Université d'Orléans)
【 𝐀𝐃𝐃𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐒 】
This is literally for me because I’m losing track of all the notable Families affiliated with the Raichands and their histories. I keep expanding my family tree, and forgetting things I don’t put in the bio sections. Laila took keeping things in the family too literally, by her I mean me, but literally everyone mentioned up there is bound in her family tree through one method or another, even got Is in there cause I decided that her half-brother is Laila’s eventual endgame. Far in the future, cause he a lot older (like red flag), so he doesn’t show up now, it’ll be creepy if he does.
Desai’s, friendship dates back to before even Yogesh, the Desai’s were heavily involved in establishing Raichand Industries, and outside of the Raichand family, own the most shares of RaiI, in the current generation, Vijay (grandson of Yogesh) and Payal (granddaughter of Dushant) are engaged. Yogesh once dated Dushant’s sister with semi-serious marriage talks, but forgot all of that after meeting Mohini, so that was awkward and dramatic. Lol Dadaji is a slut.
Khan & Kapoor filmi fam’s, friendship from the Veer/Vikrant/Riya generation, very thinly veiled references to bollywood things for my enjoyment. This Khan and Kapoor branch are also connected to each other, I think they are cousins by descent, while the Raichand connection is through a marriage, oh wait, the Raichand connection is even further away, cause it’s through the Dhanraj’s marriage! So at most, Vijay’s something, something cousins, but not Laila, Zoya, or Yash’s.
Singhania, frienship from Veer/Vikrant/Riya generation, but working relationship from Yogesh’s era
Churail dadi/nani

Weekly Market Outlook
Key gauges ended the passing week with marginal gains as selling on the final day of the week ate most of the weekly gains after traders opted to book profit at record high levels amid the slow progress of the monsoon.
Domestic bourses started the holiday shortened week on an optimistic note as traders took encouragement with President of the Confederation of Indian Industry’s statement that within a few years, India will undoubtedly be among the world’s top three economies.
Some support also came as data from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) showed India’s foreign exchange reserves jumped $4.307 billion to touch a new lifetime high of $655.817 billion during the week that ended June 7.
Sentiments also got boosted with the Central Board of Direct Taxes’ (CBDT) statement that net direct tax collection grew 21 per cent to Rs 4.62 lakh crore so far, this fiscal on higher advance tax mop-up. The first instalment of advance tax, which was due on June 15, showed collection rose 27.34 per cent to Rs 1.48 lakh crore.
Afterwards, local indices took some breather after Reserve Bank Governor Shaktikanta Das stated that India should avoid adventurism and continue to focus on bringing down inflation towards the target of 4% despite the growing clamour to signal a pivot in monetary policy. He stated ‘At this point, there is again clamour that one should change the stance.
Some concern came as the Ministry of Labor and employment stated that formal job creation under the Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) fell by 7.8% to 1.64 million in April 2024 as against 1.78 million in the corresponding month last year.
However, markets showed gradual upside momentum and hit record highs on the very next day as traders found support with global rating agency Fitch Ratings’ statement that India will see higher Consumer spending with elevated consumer confidence.
The rating agency has elevated India’s growth forecast by 20 basis points to 7.2 per cent for fiscal year 2024-25. Earlier in March, Fitch forecasted India’s growth at 7 per cent.
Selling on the final day of the session mainly played spoil sports for Indian equity markets as traders booked profit at higher levels and overlooked the report that the headline HSBC Flash India Composite Output Index – a seasonally adjusted index that measures the month-on-month change in the combined output of India’s manufacturing and service sectors – increased from 60.5 in May to 60.9 in June.
BSE movement for the week
The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) Sensex gained 217.13 points or 0.28% to 77,209.90 during the week ended June 21, 2024.
The BSE Midcap index losses 91.69 points or 0.20% to 45,967.07, while Small cap index surged 736.54 points or 1.44% to 51,936.53.
On the sectoral front, S&P BSE BANKEX was up by 1,831.83 points or 3.22% to 58,696.60, S&P BSE Finance was up by 222.81 points or 2.02% to 11,276.31, S&P BSE Information Technology was up by 666.64 points or 1.88% to 36,172.71.

In the hybrid segment, FIIs stood as net sellers, with gross purchases of Rs 82.77 crore and gross sales of Rs 173.54 crore, leading to a net outflow of Rs 90.77 crore.
Outlook for the coming week
In the passing week, Indian benchmark indices ended higher with marginal gains amid foreign fund inflows and lack of triggers. The next week is likely to see some volatility with the scheduled F&O series expiry on June 27 as traders will be balancing their positions going ahead for the next series.
On the economic data front, investors will be eyeing the Government Budget Value, External Debt, Current Account Deficit, and Infrastructure output, scheduled to be released on June 28.

Foreign Investment in India: Regulatory Updates for 2024
India remains one of the most attractive destinations for foreign investment, thanks to its large consumer base, dynamic market, and robust economic growth. In 2024, the Indian government has introduced several regulatory updates aimed at further enhancing the ease of doing business and fostering a more investor-friendly environment. This blog explores these updates and highlights how Fox&Angel, a leading consulting firm, assists businesses looking to invest in India.
Regulatory Updates for 2024
1. Simplification of FDI Approval Processes
To streamline the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) approval process, the Indian government has eliminated the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB). The approval responsibilities now lie with respective ministries and departments, significantly reducing bureaucratic hurdles. This move is expected to expedite FDI approvals, making the process more efficient and transparent for investors.
2. Liberalization of Sectoral Caps
Several sectors have witnessed an increase in FDI limits, allowing for greater foreign ownership and control:
• Defense: The FDI cap has been increased to 74% under the automatic route, with 100% possible through government approval. This change aims to attract significant investments in defense manufacturing and technology.
• Telecommunications: The FDI limit in the telecom sector has been raised to 100%, encouraging more foreign participation and investment.
• Insurance: The FDI cap in the insurance sector has been lifted from 49% to 74%, expected to bring substantial capital inflows and enhance sector growth.
• E-commerce: Clarifications in regulations now allow 100% FDI in the marketplace model of e-commerce under certain conditions, fostering further investment in this booming sector.
3. Introduction of the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme
The Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme has been expanded to cover additional sectors such as pharmaceuticals, electronics, automotive, and textiles. The PLI scheme aims to boost domestic manufacturing by providing financial incentives to companies meeting specific production targets. This initiative is designed to make India a global manufacturing hub, attracting foreign companies to set up and expand operations.
4. Strengthening Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)
Recognizing the importance of protecting intellectual property, India has taken significant steps to strengthen its IPR regime. The government has implemented measures to expedite patent approvals, enhance enforcement mechanisms, and improve the overall IPR infrastructure. These efforts aim to create a more secure environment for foreign investors' innovations and technologies.
5. Tax Reforms and Incentives
To make India a more attractive investment destination, the government has introduced several tax reforms and incentives:
• Reduction in Corporate Tax Rates: Corporate tax rates for domestic companies have been reduced to 22%, while new manufacturing companies incorporated after October 1, 2019, and commencing production before March 31, 2023, are taxed at 15%. These rates are among the lowest in Asia, enhancing India's competitiveness.
• Tax Holiday for Startups: Eligible startups are provided a tax holiday for three consecutive years out of their first ten years of operation, promoting innovation and entrepreneurship.
• Incentives for Infrastructure Development: Various incentives, including tax exemptions and subsidies, are offered to encourage investment in infrastructure projects like roads, ports, airports, and urban development.
6. Enhancing Ease of Doing Business
India has consistently improved its ranking in the World Bank's Ease of Doing Business Index, thanks to several reforms aimed at simplifying business regulations:
• Digitization of Processes: The government has digitized processes like company registration, tax filing, and compliance procedures, reducing the time and cost associated with business operations.
• Single-Window Clearance: The introduction of a single-window clearance system for obtaining licenses and approvals has streamlined processes, making it more efficient and investor-friendly.
• Contract Enforcement: Judicial reforms to expedite the resolution of commercial disputes have improved contract enforcement, providing greater confidence to foreign investors.
7. Promoting Foreign Investment in Key Sectors
The government has identified key sectors with high growth potential and is actively promoting foreign investment in these areas:
• Renewable Energy: India is focusing on sustainable development by promoting investments in renewable energy projects such as solar, wind, and biomass. Various incentives, including tax benefits and subsidies, are offered to attract foreign investments in this sector.
• Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals: Increased foreign investment in the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors is driven by India's large population and growing demand for quality healthcare. The government has eased FDI regulations and introduced incentives to boost investment in these critical sectors.
• Technology and Innovation: India fosters a vibrant ecosystem for technology and innovation, attracting investments in IT, artificial intelligence, and fintech. Government initiatives, such as the Startup India program, provide support and incentives to tech startups and foreign investors.
India's regulatory updates for 2024 demonstrate the government's commitment to creating a conducive environment for foreign investment. The simplification of approval processes, liberalization of sectoral caps, introduction of the PLI scheme, strengthening of IPR, tax reforms, and efforts to enhance ease of doing business collectively make India an attractive destination for global investors.
Investing in India offers numerous opportunities across diverse sectors, driven by the country's robust economic growth, large consumer base, and supportive government policies. Companies like Fox&Angel play a crucial role in facilitating this investment, providing the expertise and support needed to navigate the complexities of the Indian market successfully.
For investors looking to capitalize on India's growth story, staying abreast of the latest regulatory updates and leveraging the opportunities they present will be key to successful investments. With the right guidance and strategy, foreign investors can significantly benefit from India's dynamic and promising market. Invest in India and be a part of its remarkable journey towards becoming a global economic powerhouse.

March 22nd, 2024
…Sitting in my room in Karen with Dangler beside me.
11:06 pm listening to Musiq Soulchild Don’t change. Yeah, here I am. Lol I am back. I have not written for 13 days. To be honest, I didn’t even want to write. I think it’s feeling mundane. Like I write about my day. Like keeping a tally. It doesn't feel like it has depth or like I am unpacking anything but the thing is, does everything need depth? Life is happening and it is different and it is blowing my mind and shattering it at the same time. Life is a punch and a hallelujah at the same damn time. A big reason I have been MIA is I went to the coast on the 12th - 17th. Then I was with Munene till the 20th and I have been back in Karen the last few days. I did not take my laptop with me to the coast because…I decided I will not be traveling with it, especially if I am taking public transport. I wrote a few poems which I will fill in some of the days with. The coast was interesting. The train ride was cool, I saw elephants, zebras, dik diks, and I confused cows for buffalos. It was really hot on the coast, I went to the beach once then my period started and I had the worst cramps of my life. The bank atm froze without releasing my money which meant I was in the coast broke AF. There was a lot of family drama but like what is a family holiday without a lot of wahala. Shaka has a really nice apartment in Mombasa. It was nice to see where he has been living and meet some of his pals in real life. LoustaLoustaman is having the experience of his life, he rode a camel and swam in the Indian ocean. I took the train back one day earlier than everyone else because I was over the drama but also, I wanted to spend some time alone on the train. I enjoyed the ride back. I went straight to Munene because life felt like it was kicking my ass. He felt like a soother. We chilled a lot and just vibed as we do which I needed. I noticed that I was a bit edgy because of the family wahala and I am starting to have some anxiety. I dunno it feels like suddenly it is dawning on me the decision I made to move. I am having some challenges with some things. The loudness of poverty is really freaking me out. As someone who has been homeless seeing such loud poverty freaks me out because my head goes to the possibility of me being that poor. I think I have an acute fear of poverty that I didn’t want to acknowledge. It is part of classism. You know how white people fear being Black. Or straight people fear being gay and use that to cause harm. I am realizing I have an acute fear of being poor and I have to be very careful how I tread. I have enough finances and family to hold me down for 6 months but I find myself budgeting and counting every dollar. Which was unlike me in Canada. What happened to trust the Universe? I am glad I am back to writing because I get clarity. I really need to go back to Trusting the Universe. Really lean into that because that has always worked in my favor. Fear is the absence of Faith. I have faith. I know this was the best decision for me. I can feel it. This anxiety is imposter syndrome, tryna tell me I cannot make it here like I did in Canada. But if I could make it there then I know I can make it here. I just need to trust the Universe, God and Gøodness. I have a complex family, a complex life and I am a complex being. Everyone is. I deserve Gøodness. I deserve peace. I deserve Faith. God over anxiety. So yeah, here I am in my feelings once again.
Deep down, I know Life is Gøod. I am Gøod. God is Gøod. Trust the Universe. Ase. Ase.
