    Living Foodz to launch new show ‘100% Veg’ on 17 February

    The show will be aired every Wednesday at 2 pm.

    “We at Living Foodz understand the ever changing trends in the food space and palette of our audience. The idea behind 100% Veg was to cater to India’s increasingly savvy and demanding vegetarian audience by introducing them to vegetarian food like they have never seen before,” said Living Foodz business head Amit Nair.

     

    “Even though I grew up in a strictly vegetarian family, the chef in me has always enjoyed experimenting with international dishes, many of which are traditionally non-vegetarian.

    On 100% Veg Chef Mehrishi will recreate some of the world’s most loved dishes such as yakhni, chowder, shepherd’s pie and brioche, drawing from Kashmiri, French, Scottish, English and Irish influences. It also features super foods such as amaranth, za’atar and kale.

  • Indian Broadcasting Foundation cheers TRAI’s decision on differential pricing

    Indian Broadcasting Foundation cheers TRAI’s decision on differential pricing

    MUMBAI: The Indian Broadcasting Foundation (IBF) has welcomed the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India’s (TRAI) decision to rule out differential pricing.

    “The broadcasting industry is appreciative of TRAI’s decision to rule out differential pricing. IBF has earlier opposed differential pricing terming it to be ‘non-competitive,” said IBF secretary general Girish Srivastava.

    In its response to the consultation paper, IBF had clearly stated that such discriminatory entry barriers would lead to “reduced scope of consumer choice, inducing artificial scarcity.”

    “In our opinion, TRAI’s regulation on prohibiting differential pricing constitutes a milestone as it was against the basic principle of Internet access as no private player should have the power and right to decide which information can be accessed and which is less easily available,” Srivastava added.

    As was reported earlier by Indiantelevision.com, major broadcasters like Star India, Sony Pictures Networks India and Zee Network submitted their comments to TRAI in favour of net neutrality citing the drawbacks of differential pricing for telecom services.
