Gukesh second Indian to move past Anand
The Morning Standard
|August 04, 2023
AT some point in the near future, D Gukesh will be asked if he can turn water into wine.
Right now, though, the precocious chess talent, still only 17, will settle for writing himself into the record books with poise, composure and efficiency that you normally don't find in Indians as well as teenagers.
In the process, Gukesh became just the second player from India to move past Viswanathan Anand's Classical rating (live) since July 1986. At the ongoing FIDE World Cup, Gukesh took down Azerbaijan's Misratdin Iskandarov with black pieces to move into the third round. After two wins in as many days over the same opponent, Gukesh's live rating is 2755.9, 1.9 rating points in front of Anand.

Flavour Factory
In 2018, Raipur brothers Akash and Ashish Agrawalla founded ZOFF Foods—short for “Zone of Fresh Foods”—with a bold idea: revive the forgotten aroma of Indian spices using zero-human-touch processing and cool grinding technology. Early skeptics were silenced when a Delhi retailer toured their fully automated, dust-free plant and came away impressed. ZOFF now employs a workforce that is 70 per cent from Chhattisgarh, with senior leaders choosing Raipur over metro cities. Its spices travel far beyond the state, reaching homes across India and even the Middle East. Running a business from a Tier II city, CEO Akash admits, has its hurdles—limited packaging vendors, testing labs, and slower freight timelines—but the benefits are clear: lower costs, access to fresh raw materials, and a community that celebrates their growth as its own.
