Kumar Mangalam Birla Becomes Doctor Of Science (Economics) At University Of London Foundation Day
Mr Kumar Mangalam Birla is one of five distinguished honorands to receive an Honorary Degree from the University of London. Professor Sir Hilary Beckles, Sir Terry Waite, Susannah Schofield MBE and The Reverend Philip Goff are also being honoured.
Mr Kumar Mangalam Birla is Chairman of the Aditya Birla Group, a century-old leading Indian multinational and the first Indian business house to venture overseas. Today, it spans 41 countries across six continents, with revenues of ~$67 billion and a market capitalisation exceeding $110 billion.
A sixth-generation scion of the storied Birla family, his great-grandfather, G.D. Birla, was a confidant of Mahatma Gandhi and played a vital role in India’s freedom movement. A passionate champion of education, Mr. Birla serves as Chancellor of BITS Pilani and has chaired IIM Ahmedabad and IIT Delhi. He is also a Governing Board member at London Business School, where he endowed a £15 million scholarship, among the largest in Europe.
Mr Birla becomes Doctor of Science (Economics).
The awards were presented by Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal, Chancellor of the University of London, during the University’s Foundation Day celebrations held at Senate House, London on Wednesday 19 November.
Receiving honorary degrees and fellowships at Foundation Day were:
· Mr Kumar Mangalam Birla, Chairman of the Aditya Birla Group – Doctor of Science (Economics).
· Professor Sir Hilary Beckles, Professor of Economic History and Vice-Chancellor at the University of the West Indies - Doctor of Science (Social Sciences).
· Sir Terry Waite KCMG CBE, an Honorary Fellow of Trinity Hall Cambridge and the patron of many charities working for humanitarian causes – Doctor of Science (Social Sciences).
· Mrs Susannah Schofield MBE, who established up the John Schofield Trust in memory of her husband, a journalist killed in action in Croatia - Doctor of Literature.
· The Reverend Philip Goff, expert on academic dress - Honorary Fellowship.
Kavita Reddi, Chair of the Board of Trustees of the University of London, said: "We are delighted to honour Mr Birla with an Honorary Degree in recognition of his outstanding contributions to industry and philanthropy. His social initiatives have improved millions of lives, and his commitment to widening access to quality education, both in India and here in the UK, reflects the University of London's core values - a passion for helping others, recognising the value of education and a desire to unite, rather than divide.
“Each of our distinguished honorands share these values and have made remarkable achievements in their varied and respective fields. It is a privilege to recognise them all as part of our Foundation Day celebrations."
Kumar Mangalam Birla, Chairman, Aditya Birla Group, said, “I am deeply humbled to receive this distinction from the University of London. It is a particular privilege to accept a storied honour presented by Her Royal Highness, Princess Anne, The Princess Royal. As an alumnus of the London business school, I have witnessed first-hand the university’s remarkable ability to transform ambition into achievement. My family has long believed that education is the most enduring engine of progress, capable of widening opportunity and reshaping communities. To be recognised by an institution that embodies those values and continues to equip new generations to take on an unpredictable world is both moving and motivating.”
Each year the University of London celebrates Foundation Day, a landmark date of the annual calendar marking the institution’s first royal charter, granted by William IV on 28 November 1836. The ceremony centres on the conferment of honorary degrees and fellowships, a tradition that began in 1903 with recipients including the Prince and Princess of Wales (later King George V and Queen Mary).
Foundation Day 2025 was attended by students and staff of the University of London, representatives from its 17 Federation Member institutions and its global network of Regional Teaching Centres, and people with long-standing connections with the University.

The Golf Foundation Launches India’s Largest Talent Hunt; Targets Children From Economically Weaker Sections
Announcing the Talent Hunt programme, Amit Luthra, Founder-President of TGF, Asian Games Gold Medallist and Arjuna Awardee, said: “The National Talent Hunt is where many champions begin their journey. With the support of our partners, we can ensure that no child with talent — whether from golf or any other sport — is denied the chance to excel.”
This year’s edition is being headed by leading golf coach and President of the PGA of India, Romit Bose, who brings decades of coaching expertise and a proven track record of producing multiple professional tournament winners, Amateur National Champions, and Junior European and World Champions.
Built on the philosophy that talent is everywhere, opportunity is not, TGF has spent over 25 years discovering and shaping champions from underprivileged backgrounds. Alumni such as Ashok Kumar, Rashid Khan, Shubham Jaglan, Honey Baisoya, Chikkarangappa, and Hitaashi Bakshi, among others, have risen from modest beginnings to compete on global tours including the Indian Tour, Asian Development Tour, Asian Tour, European Tour, PGA Tour of Americas, Women’s Indian Tour, Women’s Asian Golf Tour and Ladies European Tour. TGF’s impact has been recognised with the Rashtriya Khel Protsahan Puruskar for sports promotion conferred by the Hon’ble President of India.
This year, TGF is conducting on-range Talent Identification Camps at golf facilities across India. Flyers and invitations have been shared with EWS children, government and low-income schools, NGOs, and clubs within TGF’s network, inviting them to a dedicated assessment day. Academies from various sports such as cricket, hockey, tennis, and football will also be approached.
Multiple teams of trained scouts will travel across states conducting in-school talent identification camps. Using portable hitting mats, nets, putting mats, and balls, scouts will conduct a series of athletic and golf-specific tests such as ball throws, 40-metre sprints, static jumps, and movement assessments. The programme is open to children from any sport, recognising that athletic qualities gained in football, cricket, athletics, hockey, or kabaddi often translate exceptionally well into golf.
“This year’s Talent Hunt is designed to cast the widest and deepest net we’ve ever attempted. India is full of natural athletes who just need a gateway into golf — and we intend to find them. State of the art technologies like Trackman are being used to gauge the performances, ruling out any favouritism,” said Romit Bose.
Across range and school programmes, TGF aims to screen 1,500–1,800 children. Shortlisted candidates will join twice-a-week training sessions at regional golf facilities until the first week of January 2026, before the final selection round. The 30 plus shortlisted finalists will enter TGF’s long-term pathway where ₹ 3.5 lakhs to ₹ 5 lakhs allocated per kid per annum from an overall yearly budget of approximately ₹ 2 crores in order to receive structured coaching, equipment, tournament exposure, mentoring, and financial support, setting them on the road to becoming competitive golfers.

Empowering India’s Fast-Growing Gig and Platform Economy
Headquartered in Melbourne, MyGigsters provides embedded financial infrastructure purpose-built for marketplaces and gig platforms. The platform enables operators to seamlessly onboard, verify, pay, reward, and protect their independent workforce helping them scale compliantly while improving worker experience and retention.
Backed by Launch Vic (Government of Victoria), South Australia’s Department for Innovation & Skills, and leading VCs such as Startmate and Antler, MyGigsters has already proven its model across Australia, Singapore, and the Middle East. The expansion into India marks a critical step in the company’s mission to help 10 million independent workers gain financial security by 2030.
“India is at the heart of the global gig economy transformation,” said Benjemen Elengovan, Founder & CEO of MyGigsters. “The next wave of marketplaces will emerge from here in healthcare, logistics, consulting, and services. Our goal is to give these platforms the tools to manage their workforce compliantly and empower every independent worker to access financial freedom.”

The Australia-India trade relationship continues to thrive through technology collaboration, and we would like to congratulate MyGigsters for their initiative in the future-of-work space.”
India’s Gig Economy: Exploding Growth and Formalisation
India’s gig workforce currently exceeds 12 million workers, growing at 17 percent annually, and is projected to reach 62 million by 2047, contributing more than INR 12 trillion to the economy by 2030 (source: VV Giri Labour Institute & NITI Aayog).
The Government of India is now introducing social-security and financial-benefit frameworks for independent workers, setting the stage for rapid formalisation.
Partnering with Marketplaces Shaping the Future of Work
MyGigsters is already working with several high-growth platforms redefining how India works:
Quote from Azeem Zainulbhai (Co-founder of Outsized), "Partnering with MyGigsters has enabled Outsized to take a leap forward in delivering fast, reliable payments and robust financial services for our freelancer community. Thanks to this collaboration, our professionals can count on on-time payouts and enhanced financial inclusion, setting a new benchmark for trust and empowerment in the independent talent economy”
In addition, MyGigsters has signed 10 new marketplace partnerships across India spanning logistics, healthcare, creator, and on-demand services — showing a surging demand for scalable financial infrastructure for the independent-workforce economy.
Strategic Alliances with Financial Institutions
MyGigsters also announced two key financial partnerships in India:
DigiMoney Finance (NBFC) – A strategic partnership to power instant payouts, early pay, and credit products for gig and platform workers, enhancing financial liquidity and security.
“The integration with MyGigsters positions us to capture an underserved market of platform-based income earners, delivering data-driven credit solutions and embedded financial services through a scalable, compliance-first infrastructure,” said Gorav Gupta, Co-Founder & Director, DigiMoney Finance, a Fintech NBFC”.
Strengthening the Australia–India Innovation Corridor
This launch highlights the growing synergy between the Australian and Indian innovation ecosystems, underpinned by strong bilateral agreements and joint programs promoting fintech, future-of-work, and digital-trade partnerships.
“Our collaboration with Austrade and partners across India reflects our shared vision building financial security for the global independent workforce,” added Benjemen Elengovan.

As citizens of this vibrant city, we have a duty to protect our forests, parks, our trees, and our air. Small acts — like planting a sapling, reducing plastic, or choosing sustainable lifestyles — create ripples of change. And when thousands of hearts come together with purpose, that ripple becomes a wave and I congratulate Heartfulness for the efforts in making significant difference throughout its initiatives.”
Smt. Thejaswini said The theme — “Run with Heart, Run for Earth — Deeply resonates with me. At Adamya Chetana, we believe that serving society begins with caring for the world we live in. Whether it is through our Green Initiatives, zero-waste kitchens, or tree-planting drives, we’ve seen how collective action can create real, lasting impact.
Today’s event reminds us that fitness and compassion go hand in hand. When we nurture our inner well-being through mindfulness and extend that same care to nature, we build a stronger, more sustainable future for generations to come.”

This milestone is not just a reflection of our legacy, but a Kotak for the future. On this momentous occasion, to encourage wider investor participation by making the Bank’s equity shares more affordable and liquid, the Board has, subject to regulatory and statutory approvals, decided to sub-divide the existing equity shares of face value of ₹ 5/- each into equity shares of a smaller denomination of ₹ 1/- each."
Ashok Vaswani, Managing Director and CEO, Kotak Mahindra Bank, said: "Forty years ago, we began a journey rooted in trust and innovation. Today, as we celebrate this remarkable milestone, we also look ahead with a renewed ambition.

Consequently, the Board has also approved an amendment to the Capital Clause of the Memorandum of Association of the Bank to reflect the revised share structure, post-split.
These approvals are subject to consent from the Bank’s members, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), and other applicable regulatory authorities. The process is expected to be completed within two months from receiving all necessary clearances.
