According to an NDTV report, Myntra claims that around 85 percent of all users come to the site via the app anyway, and that around 63 percent of all purchases happen on the app. Therefore, maintaining both a desktop and an app presence was not warranted, the company believes.  Speaking about the growing importance of the mobile app platform in an interview last week, Prasad Kompalli, Head of e-commerce platform, Myntra told NDTV that the growing adoption of smartphones has allowed it to become more than a catalog, which isn’t necessarily possible when working on the desktop.

Kompalli said  that “Mobile apps are the best platform for Myntra today, as they allow you to integrate with contacts, calendar, and camera, which can be used to improve the user’s experience in a number of ways.”

According to reports, the co-pilot assaulted the pilot physically after he was told to take down critical figures to be noted before the take-off. The co-pilot has allegedly misbehaved with other commanders in the past as well.

An Air India spokesperson said “The two had an argument. They have settled the issue”. Both the pilots have been de-rostered (taken off duty) pending further investigation.

A few days ago, an association representing Air India pilots wrote to the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) saying co-pilots were being “forced to work overtime” without adequate remuneration. “Putting these highly-stressed and financially over-burdened co-pilots in the same cockpit… is a perfect recipe for disaster” NDTV quoted the association as saying. The letter also said “At times of equipment malfunction, turbulence or emergency, a pilot must remain calm… How can an Air India pilot perform his duties in such a manner when he is already highly stressed?”

The DGCA has started discussions with the Directorate of Medical Services for regular check-ups of pilots to evaluate their psychological health.

The index will provide real time data about the level of air pollution on a daily basis. It will be available in 10 cities for now. Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar informed that the index will be expanded to 46 cities with a population of 1 million or more each in the next couple of years. The new index will track 8 different pollutants and will denote different health impact levels with color coding.

Speaking at the conference, the Prime Minister urged Indians to be sensitive towards nature and environment and said “We have been brought up in a nation where environment protection is connected with human sentiments, and nature is considered next to God”

The PM also talked about effective waste management and the importance of cleaning Ganga.

The two-day conference will have multiple sessions for ministers and officials to brainstorm proposed changes in the six environment laws.

This win helped Sania Mirza gain valuable points in World’s Double’s Rankings and she is now just 145 points from the World Number 1 Title.

Sania commented after the match “We just tried to keep telling each other to enjoy the struggle. Last week everything came very, very easily to us – we didn’t lose more than four games in a set. Over here we were down, and we were panicking. It was like, Oh my God, we’re not playing well. We just weren’t used to that.”

While crediting the victory to the tips, provided by Sania Mirza’s father, Martina Hingis added, “The most important thing is that we never stopped believing we’re a great team. They played a great set to get us to that position, 5-2 down. Then we just tried to stay in there and get our chances. We just built on every point, which is what we did well last week too,” the Swiss great, who now has 43 doubles title, said.

Excited theatergoers experienced a roller coaster ride of emotions after watching Fast and Furious 7. The movie was packed with hilarious one liners and amazing car chase sequences but what really set it apart was the tribute to late Paul Walker at the end which left most people teary-eyed.
