Mumbai Ends Delhi’s Run As Most Forgetful City; Wedding Saree, Gold Biscuit Among Unique Items Left Behind In Ubers In 2024

*        Uber’s Annual Lost and Found Index gives a peek into items forgotten by riders in their Uber

*        Pune 3rd most forgetful city, Hyderabad least forgetful among metropolitan cities

Uber has released the 9th edition of its Lost and Found Index, a snapshot of the most frequently forgotten items, the most forgetful cities, as well as the days of the week and times of the year when Uber riders tend to be most forgetful.

Mumbai edged out Delhi to bag the title of the most forgetful city in the country, ending the National Capital’s two-year run at the top. Pune jumped up two places to end 2024 as the 3rd most forgetful city, even as Bangalore dropped a place to 4th. Kolkata made an entry into the ‘top 5’, claiming a spot as the 5th most forgetful city during the year gone by. Backed by insights and data, Uber’s Lost and Found Index aims to educate riders in a fun yet informative manner about in-app options available to them at the tap of a button, in case they lose or forget something in their Uber during their trip.

Over the last year, objects including bags, earphones, phones, and wallets topped the list of items left in Ubers across India, followed by spectacles, keys and clothing. Jet-lagged Indians also made a habit of forgetting their passports in Ubers during 2024.

In terms of unique items left behind in Ubers, a rider forgot their wedding saree, while another forgot a gold biscuit. Forgetting either of those two items in a street-hailed vehicle with no option to retrieve it could have been a big jolt to both. A rider forgot 25 kilograms of ‘cow ghee’ in their Uber, while another forgot their cooking stove - both of those losses had the potential to ruin dinner plans.  

Commenting on the Index, Shiva Shailendran, Director - Consumer and Growth, Uber India South Asia, said, “We’ve all been there - that facepalm moment when we realised we forgot a cherished belonging in a cab. At Uber, we've made it easy to retrieve lost items with just a few steps in our app. We appreciate the trust our riders place in us each time they choose Uber, and we believe it's the perfect moment to offer a quick refresher on how to recover items left behind.”

Analyzing the patterns:

*        Saturdays were the peak days for Uber riders to forget their belongings.

*        Red-colored items were the most commonly forgotten in Ubers, followed by blue and yellow.

*        The likelihood of forgetting items increases in the evenings, with 7 PM being the prime time for such occurrences.

*        Samsung device users were notably more prone to forgetfulness over the past year.

*        The highest number of items left in Ubers occurred on festive days.

*        Among major cities, riders from Hyderabad were the least likely to forget their items.

TCS, Accenture, And Infosys Rank Top 3 On LinkedIn’s 2025 Top Companies India List

* Companies from Finance, IT and Software sectors together claim 19 of the 25 spots

* Fidelity Investments (#4), ServiceNow (#17), and Stripe (#21) debut on this year’s list

LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional network, today unveiled the 2025 Top Companies list for India showcasing 25 large companies where professionals can grow their careers. Based on the activity of millions of professionals on the platform, the list provides insights on in-demand skills, top locations, and the largest job functions within these companies, helping job seekers find their next opportunity.

Derived from LinkedIn data across eight pillars — including ability to advance, skills growth, external opportunity, and company affinity — the top companies list highlights organisations that are investing in employees and hiring now, in a highly competitive job market.

Nirajita Banerjee, LinkedIn Career Expert and India Senior Managing Editor said, “The biggest learning from this year’s list is that companies are not just hiring for where they are today, but also for where they want to be tomorrow. Nineteen of the top 25 companies come from technology, finance, and enterprise software sectors, looking for technically fluent professionals who can work across teams, think critically, adapt quickly, and grow with the business. For anyone looking to land their first or next job, this is the time to test and build your range. Strengthen your core expertise, explore transferable skills, and stay close to how industries are evolving. In a job market that’s constantly in motion, career resilience is the superpower that will set you apart.”

For another year, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) retained the top spot, followed by Accenture (#2) and Infosys (#3). And with Cognizant ranked #5, this year’s list highlights the dominance of Computer, IT and Software sectors in offering career progress opportunities in India today. Core skills in development tools, data storage technologies and enterprise software remain central to their hiring focus, particularly in Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai.

Nearly half – 12 out of 25 companies — are new to this year’s list, reflecting broad shifts in the opportunities available to Indian job seekers. Fidelity Investments (#4) is the highest-ranking debut, followed by ServiceNow (#17) and Stripe (#21). Financial services firms take seven spots on this year’s list, including JPMorgan Chase (#7), Wells Fargo (#15), and American Express (#25). Common roles being hired for in these companies include business operations analyst, fraud analyst and financial analyst, with key skills in capital markets, investment banking and commercial banking.

The list also shows global technology companies continuing to expand their footprint in India. Amazon (#8), Alphabet (#9), and Salesforce (#12) are hiring for roles such as software engineer, data analyst and account manager. Artificial intelligence, AI engineering and mobile application development are the most sought after skills at these firms. Synopsys Inc (#13), Continental (#14) and RTX (#20) are investing in their design engineering, test engineering and quality assurance teams, with skills in computer hardware, signal processing and electronic control systems.

Here are tips from Nirajita on connecting with and exploring job opportunities at a Top Company:

Boost your discoverability: Think of your LinkedIn profile as your digital handshake because it’s often the first impression recruiters get. A well-crafted profile can make you stand out and increase your chances of being noticed by top companies. Use it to showcase your professional journey authentically. For an extra edge, take advantage of LinkedIn’s AI-powered Premium tools to refine your Headline and About sections.

Show companies you’re interested in them: Use LinkedIn’s “I’m Interested” feature to express interest in a company, even if they don’t have open positions. This increases your visibility to recruiters searching for potential candidates. LinkedIn Top Choice Premium feature also helps you make it clear to hiring managers that you’re eager to join their team when the opportunity arrives.

Research companies like a pro: Before applying at a company, do your homework. Start with the company’s LinkedIn page to get a sense of its culture, values, and leadership. Following key executives can give you insight into the topics they care about and evaluate whether these align with your priorities. LinkedIn Premium also offers several features for professionals to further increase visibility, learn insights, and find suitable job matches.

Network. Network. Network: Building connections with current and former employees at your target company can open doors that you don’t even know of. Engaging with them, commenting on their posts, or even requesting an informational chat can give you a valuable inside perspective. A strong network can also help with referrals. LinkedIn data shows that applicants are 4X more likely to land a job through their connections.

Showcase & strengthen your skills: With AI transforming the job market, leaders and recruiters are most sharply focused on finding the right mix of skills. Make sure your profile highlights your relevant skills and abilities – both technical and non-technical. You can also explore new courses and skills on LinkedIn Learning to stay competitive in an evolving market.

Here are the 25 companies that made it to the 2025 Top Large Companies India list:

GE HealthCare Launches ‘Cervical Cancer-Free Mahadevapura Block’ initiative In Bengaluru

* Jivika Foundation, FPA India, and GE HealthCare unite to vaccinate 1,400 adolescent girls against cervical cancer

GE HealthCare, a leading global medical technology, pharmaceutical diagnostics, and digital solutions innovator, in collaboration with Jivika Foundation and Family Planning Association (FPA) India, successfully launched the Cervical Cancer-Free Mahadevapura Block initiative at Ramagondanahalli Government School, Mahadevapura Block, Bengaluru.

This transformative program is dedicated to vaccinating all girls aged 9-14 years across government schools in Mahadevapura Block against Human Papillomavirus (HPV), a leading cause of cervical cancer. By enabling early and preventive intervention, the initiative marks a significant step in advancing public health and reducing cervical cancer incidence.

The launch event was attended by esteemed dignitaries, partners, and community representatives, underscoring the collective commitment to safeguarding the health of young girls and strengthening public health infrastructure in the region.

Highlighting the importance of prevention and early vaccination, Chaitanya Sarawate - President & CEO-India & South Asia, GE HealthCare said, “HPV Types 16 and 18 accounts for nearly 77% of cervical cancer incidence in India. Prevention is the need of the hour. HPV vaccines work best if administered prior to exposure to HPV. With this Cervical Cancer Vaccination drive, we will ensure that 1400 adolescent girls are protected from this cancer. At GE HealthCare, as we aim to make healthcare limitless for all. This drive will help us spread awareness about HPV & cervical cancer, encourage early detection and reduce incidence of this terrible disease in our communities.”

Jignesh Patel, Director, Jivika Foundation added, “Jivika Foundation is proud to lead this initiative and collaborate with key stakeholders in the healthcare sector. Our vision is to make HPV vaccination accessible to all, eliminating cervical cancer from India, one block at a time.”

This initiative sets a benchmark for community-driven healthcare interventions, ensuring that every girl receives the protection she deserves against cervical cancer.

Harshavardhan Chauhaan’s #NCAYB Powers $10M Fund To Support The Next Generation Of Entrepreneurs

The Young Entrepreneurs Fund (YEF), a $10 million initiative, was launched today by Harshavardhan Chauhaan, the veteran marketing strategist behind billion-dollar retail and D2C ventures. Fueled entirely by proceeds from Chauhaan’s incendiary new book, #NCAYB (Nobody Cares About Your Brand), this radical fusion of literary provocation and venture capital targets early-stage founders driving innovation in Deep Tech, Clean Energy, Rural Platforms, and National IP. Chauhaan, whose career spans scaling hypergrowth startups and redefining brand psychology, positions YEF as both a critique of outdated marketing dogma and a capital engine for those rewriting India’s economic future, aligned with the vision of Viksit Bharat, Karmyogi Bharat, and Vishwa Vyapi Bharat.

The fund’s structure defies conventional venture models, mirroring Harshvardhan Chauhaan’s unorthodox approach to consumer influence. Unlike traditional investors fixated on pitch decks and financial projections, YEF allocates $10,000-$250,000 grants to raw, pre-revenue ideas, prioritizing societal impact and scalable solutions over spreadsheets. This ethos stems directly from #NCAYB’s core thesis, that consumer trust, not product-centric frameworks like the 1960s-era 4Ps of Marketing, now dictates market success. Proceeds from every copy of #NCAYB sold directly go to the YEF, creating a self-sustaining loop between thought leadership and founder empowerment.

Commenting on the fund launch, Harshvardhan Chauhaan, said, “The true revolution in business won't happen in boardrooms where executives cling to century-old theories. It will emerge from garages and Discord servers where founders understand that consumers don't follow brands, they follow trust architectures. Through the launch of the Young Entrepreneurs Fund, our aim is to go beyond funding business plans by investing in neural networks of influence that rewrite consumer behavior from the subconscious up. When the history of 21st century commerce is written, it won't mention advertisements or product features; it will document how trust became the only currency that mattered.”

Beyond financial backing, YEF provides grantees with mentorship from global brand strategists, growth marketers, and serial entrepreneurs who understand the evolving dynamics of consumer trust and fractional loyalty. Ashish Soni, an alumnus of IIT Bombay, serial entrepreneur, and industry leader in AI and emerging technologies, has joined YEF a pro bono mentor and board advisor. With over 14 years of experience across innovation, product development, and tech consulting, Ashish will help guide the fund's direction, ensuring high-impact value creation and strategic excellence.

The fund’s mandate spans four strategic sectors critical to India’s transformation. In Deep Tech, YEF will support startups pioneering breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and advanced robotics, technologies poised to redefine global technological frontiers. Clean Energy innovators will receive backing for solutions in renewable energy generation, green infrastructure, and carbon-neutral technologies, aligning with India’s sustainability goals. Rural Platforms form another key focus area for YEF, aiding ventures that democratize access to agritech tools, rural fintech ecosystems, and digital literacy programs to bridge the urban-rural divide - a direct contribution to the Viksit Bharat ideal.

Apart from these, YEF will also help National IP initiatives gain traction by scaling indigenous innovations, from traditional crafts to climate-resilient agricultural practices, ensuring these ideas achieve global resonance under the Vishwa Vyapi Bharat framework. These verticals align with #NCAYB’s principles of The Trust Algorithm, Fractional Loyalty, and the Influence Flywheel, while anchoring YEF’s role in fostering a Karmyogi Bharat where skill development and entrepreneurial grit converge. By channeling resources into these domains, the fund aims to cultivate a self-reliant economy where trust-based consumer relationships and homegrown innovations drive progress.

Applications for YEF open April 14, 2025, exclusively at NobodyCaresForYourBrand.com
