Turkish Airlines Becomes Launch Partner Of Google For Next-Generation Baggage Locating Experience


Turkish Airlines, the airline flying to more countries than any other, has entered into a collaboration with Google, marking yet another milestone in its digital transformation journey aimed at enhancing the travel experience for its guests. As a launch partner of Google’s new Find Hub “share item location” feature, Turkish Airlines now accepts Find Hub-generated location links as part of its official baggage recovery process, enabling faster and more efficient resolution for guests with misplaced or delayed luggage.

Through this collaboration, passengers traveling with a Find Hub-compatible tracker tag or network accessory attached to their baggage can generate a secure, location link directly from the Find Hub app and share it with a Turkish Airlines baggage representative, giving the airline’s teams the precise information they need to locate and return bags with greater speed.

Passengers simply open the Find Hub app, select their missing item and tap “share item location” to generate a unique, secure URL. This link can then be provided to a Turkish Airlines representative, who will be able to view the item’s location as it updates. Passengers remain in full control throughout: sharing can be stopped at any moment from within the app, links automatically expire after seven days, and sharing is disabled automatically once the item is detected back with its owner. All location data is encrypted, ensuring that passenger privacy is protected at every step.

Turkish Airlines Ground Operations Vice President Mehmet Yıldırım, said: “At Turkish Airlines, we continuously invest in cutting-edge, data-driven digital solutions to enhance the end-to-end travel experience of our guests. By integrating innovative technologies such as Google's Find Hub, we are delighted to be among the first global carriers to offer passengers enhanced baggage tracking and recovery capabilities, delivering a faster, more seamless, and more reassuring experience across our network of over 350 destinations worldwide.”

Erik Kay, Vice President of Engineering, Google said: “Find Hub is a truly unique experience for Android users thanks to our open ecosystem that gives people the freedom of choice and a crowdsourced network of over a billion devices to help find your lost or misplaced items and devices no matter where they are. We are proud to work with partners to help make finding your belongings simple and seamless on Android.”

This partnership further demonstrates Turkish Airlines’ passenger-first mindset and its sustained commitment to integrating best-in-class technology into every stage of the travel experience. With an ever-expanding global network and a continued focus on digital innovation, Turkish Airlines remains at the forefront of redefining what modern air travel can be.

Interio By Godrej Expands Mattress Portfolio To Address India’s Growing Sleep Wellness Demand


*Targets ₹ 150 Cr revenue in mattress category by FY29 ~

Interio by Godrej, the furniture brand of Godrej Enterprises Group, plans to expand its mattress category as demand for sleep and wellness products grows across Indian households. As part of this strategy, the company will appoint 25 new mattress distributors and expand to 300+ retailers across India, strengthening its reach across major metros as well as emerging Tier-II and Tier-III markets.

Dev Sarkar, Senior Vice President and Head of Consumer Business, Interio by Godrej said, “India’s mattress market is evolving as consumers become more conscious of the role sleep plays in overall health. Urbanisation, rising incomes and improving housing conditions are influencing how people invest in their homes, including their sleep environment. Consumers today are looking for mattresses that support posture, improve comfort and address issues such as back pain and pressure relief. At Interio, we are expanding our portfolio to address these changing expectations. Our mattresses are designed to support different sleep preferences, from pressure-relieving foam and pocket spring cores to breathable mesh layers. We are also strengthening our distribution network so that consumers across markets have easier access to these solutions.”

India’s mattress market, currently valued at USD 2.40 billion, is projected to reach USD 3.89 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 8.60%. Foam and memory foam mattresses account for over 52% of the market, while hybrid mattresses are emerging as one of the fastest-growing segments. Demand for orthopaedic mattresses is also rising as consumers increasingly prioritise spinal alignment and pressure relief.

Foam and memory foam mattresses account for over 52% of the market, while hybrid mattresses are emerging as one of the fastest-growing segments. The orthopaedic mattress segment alone reached USD 98.06 million in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 25.80% between 2025 and 2033, reflecting increasing consumer awareness about musculoskeletal health and sleep quality.

To address these evolving needs, Interio is strengthening the mattress portfolio with new offerings across orthopaedic, foam and spring segments. The expanded range includes the Orthomatic series designed for firm back support, featuring variants such as Orthomatic Premium, Orthomatic Super and Orthomatic Max, built with bonded foam and support foam layers for durability and posture support. The portfolio also includes the Sleepsy mattress, a bonded foam option designed for consumers seeking firm orthopaedic comfort at accessible price points. In the premium segment, the Sleep Grande mattress features a seven-zone pocket spring system that provides differentiated support for key body areas to maintain natural spinal alignment during sleep

In FY27, Interio plans to emphasis on the premium mattress range, comprising the Foam Mattresses, Spring Mattresses and Ortho Mattresses collections, while expanding its omnichannel presence across Tier-I and Tier-II cities to capture India’s expanding aspirational consumer base.

75.8% Of Indians Are Active Dairy Consumers—Multi-Product Milk & Dairy Lifestyle


* Dominates Household Nutrition, Godrej Jersey India Lactograph Findings FY25-26

India’s relationship with dairy has long gone beyond a single glass of milk – it shows up in breakfast bowls, festival sweets, everyday cooking and now even in protein shakes and smoothies. Reflecting this deep integration, Godrej Jersey’s Lactography Report reveals that 75.8% of Indians are now “active dairy consumers”, households that regularly consume milk alongside multiple dairy products such as curd, paneer, ghee, butter, lassi, yogurt and cheese. Far from being an occasional add-on, dairy emerges as a daily, multi-product nutrition system embedded in Indian food culture across regions and generations.

Instead of a single glass of milk, Indian homes are building what the report terms a “dairy basket.” Among active dairy consumers, curd (80%), paneer (76%), butter (74%) and ghee (71%) are the most preferred products nationally, followed by lassi (63%), cheese (58%), yogurt (57%) and traditional milk-based sweets (55%). This breadth of usage underlines dairy’s role across cooking, meal accompaniments, snacking and celebration.

One India, Many Dairy Plates

While dairy forms a common thread across Indian households, the way it appears on the plate varies meaningfully by region. Curd stands out as the most universal expression of dairy, woven seamlessly into everyday meals across the country from curd rice and buttermilk in the South to raita and dahi in the North making it a true pan-Indian staple.

Paneer, once largely associated with North Indian cuisine, has steadily expanded its footprint nationwide. Today, it features across regional cooking styles and meal formats, reflecting its evolution into a widely accepted vegetarian protein for both traditional and contemporary dishes.

At the same time, indulgent dairy continues to hold its place. Ghee, butter and traditional milk-based sweets remain deeply embedded in household routines and celebrations, reinforcing dairy’s emotional and cultural significance even as consumers become more mindful about health and balance.

Dairy has also adapted effortlessly to modern, protein-conscious lifestyles, particularly among younger and urban consumers. Beyond traditional formats, it now features prominently in smoothies, shakes and café-style beverages, seamlessly blending into contemporary routines focused on energy, fitness and nourishment. Milk and dairy-based beverages increasingly sit alongside coffee, protein shakes and smoothies, no longer confined to childhood rituals but embraced as versatile vehicles for daily energy, recovery and performance.

Commenting on the findings, Shantanu Raj, Head of Marketing, Godrej Jersey, said, “India has moved decisively beyond the idea of ‘just a glass of milk’. What we are witnessing is the evolution of dairy from a single-source staple to a dynamic, value-added category spanning everyday essentials like paneer and milk-based beverages to high-protein products that deliver the same great taste with added functionality. At Godrej Jersey, our journey reflects this shift. We are building on the trust and familiarity that milk represents, while expanding into formats that offer greater nutrition, convenience, and versatility for modern consumers. As preferences evolve, our focus remains on delivering products that seamlessly combine taste, protein, and everyday relevance, reimagining dairy for today’s India.”

By mapping what Indians consume, how often and in which formats, these insights offer a clear view into how the country eats today—confirming dairy’s role as a core pillar of everyday household nutrition, versatile enough to travel from the traditional thali to the gym bottle, and from home kitchens to modern café-style beverages.

About Creamline Dairy Products Limited:

Godrej Jersey, a leading private dairy player in Southern India, has been a trusted name in the dairy industry since 1986. With a presence across Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Nagpur in Maharashtra, the company has consistently grown, offering high-quality dairy products under the name Jersey.

The new visual design retains the legacy of the recognizable cow pattern, modified for a cleaner, modern, and more consumer-friendly presentation. This updated look reflects both Jersey’s rich heritage and the promise of quality and trust long associated with the Godrej brand. Godrej Jersey continues to uphold its legacy while embracing a fresh, contemporary identity, offering products that remain synonymous with purity, quality, and innovation.
