So has COVID hit the demand for these products and thus the topline for Indigo? Not really. On the contrary, the company s sales drop has been far narrower as compared to peers. In H1FY20, where Asian Paints and Berger Paints saw their revenue degrowing by 19.5% and 21.6% respectively, Indigo s revenue compression was limited to 4.9%. Indigo has a higher presence in smaller towns and rural areas. Almost 85% of our sales come from towns with a population of under 3 lacs. These were the towns that were not affected much by Covid, says Jalan. In FY20 too, indigo Paints stood out with a topline growth of 16.6% vs 3-5% posted by Asian and Berger.

As one of history s most enduring disasters, the sinking of the Titanic has inspired countless books analysing every conceivable detail.
However, the personal papers of the judge who conducted the original investigation just weeks later have always been beyond reach. Now Lord Mersey s descendants have made them available for the first time for a forthcoming major documentary.
The judge s notes reveal his thoughts as he listened to hundreds of witnesses. They show the extent to which he was disturbed by the Titanic s lack of lifeboat drills and its failure to slow down, even though she was travelling at night and had received ice warnings.
