Over the years, LinkedIn has emerged as a popular platform used by thousands of people across the world. In a recent incident, a man who lost his job as an engineer during the pandemic, landed a new opportunity with the help of LinkedIn users. He had been working as a Swiggy delivery executive and when a LinkedIn user share his story on the job-search platform, help poured in. Kindness truly never goes unnoticed. 

According to a LinkedIn post shared by a woman named Priyanshi Chandel, a Swiggy delivery partner got her attention when he told her that he is an engineering graduate who lost his job during the pandemic. The man, named Sahil Singh, hails from Jammu and was working at Ninjacart, BYJUS. As the coronavirus pandemic reached its peak, he had to return to his hometown and lost his job. 

The National Commission For Scheduled Castes has served a notice to online food delivery aggregator Zomato for the portrayal of a Dalit character in one of its ad campaigns for World Environment Day.

A government panel has now said that it will investigate the matter and has also issued a notice to Zomato founder Deepinder Goyal, according to a report by a news channel. 

India's retail inflation dropped to 4.25per cent in May from 4.7 per cent in April, according to a data from the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation on Monday. The consumer price-based index (CPI) inflation in May is lowest in 25 months. The food inflation also eased to 2.91 per cent in April. It was 3.84 per cent in the month of April. The food basket accounts for nearly half of the CPI. While, inflation in fuel and light also eased to 4.64 per cent, from 5.52 per cent in April.

It was for the second month in a row that retail inflation remained within the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)'s comfort zone of below six per cent. Despite the huge 227-basis-point fall since January, CPI inflation remains above the central bank's medium-term target of 4 per cent for the 44th month in a row.

The RBI MPC left the repo rates unchanged at 6.5 percent at its meeting on June 08, as the Street had expected. The MPC continued with the ‘withdrawal of accommodation’ stance, as liquidity has turned into a significant surplus mode, further increased by the impact of deposits of Rs 2000 notes.

A change in policy stance at this juncture might not be in sync with the current liquidity conditions. Headline CPI is still higher than the medium-term target of 4 percent, even on a 12-month forecast horizon. A sustained moderation in inflation may prompt the shift from a “withdrawal of accommodation” to a “neutral” stance.

Union Minister Rajeev Chandrashekar on Friday hits out at former Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Raghuram Rajan. The minister while talking to reporters slammed Rajan. He said, "I think he (Rajan) should decide whether he is a politician...a failed politician or a failed economist. "We all know that when he (Raghuram Rajan) was the RBI governor, he wrecked the entire banking system," the minister added.

The minister has also hit out at the Congress government in Karnataka over reports about it removing a lesson on RSS founder Keshav Baliram Hedgewar from school textbooks, saying the party's views on history are limited to the Nehru-Gandhi family.
