Never Grow Up launches The Monday Bar energy snack
New nutraceutical bar with ashwagandha and zero added sugar targets daily work stress.
MUMBAI: The Monday Bar just turned the most dreaded day of the week into something almost bearable because when your energy comes without the crash, even Mondays start feeling like a plot twist. Never Grow Up has introduced The Monday Bar, a nutraceutical energy bar formulated specifically for the sustained mental and physical demands of modern working life rather than short bursts of intensity. Unlike conventional energy snacks loaded with sugar, the bar uses zero added sugar or preservatives and relies on stress-conscious botanicals Jatamansi, Valerian Root and Ashwagandha to support steady energy while respecting the body’s need for balance.
Never Grow Up sssociate director Abhishek Hawal said, “Fatigue isn’t just physical, it’s deeply mental. The pressure to stay switched on, make constant decisions, and perform 100 per cent adds up over time. The Monday Bar supports the part of the workday that often gets ignored: mental steadiness. Not with a sugary quick fix, but with something people can rely on, day after day.”
The launch reflects years of observing how work culture has evolved rising mental load, constant stimulation, shrinking recovery time and responds with a product designed as an everyday staple rather than an occasional boost. By choosing ingredients that promote calm focus over temporary highs, the bar aligns with growing consumer awareness around long-term health, ingredient transparency, and work-life sustainability.
In a world that still wears exhaustion like a badge, The Monday Bar quietly asks a smarter question, what if the real productivity hack isn’t pushing harder, but staying steadier? One bite at a time, it’s proving that sometimes the best way to conquer Monday is to outlast it without the crash landing.

IndiGo names William Walsh CEO
Former IATA chief to take charge in August after Elbers exit, Bhatia steers interim
India’s biggest airline has moved fast and gone global. InterGlobe Aviation, which operates IndiGo, has tapped aviation heavyweight William Walsh as chief executive officer, subject to regulatory approvals, marking a sharp pivot as the carrier eyes its next burst of expansion.
Walsh, currently director general at the International Air Transport Association, will step down on July 31, 2026, and is expected to take charge by August 3. The appointment comes barely three weeks after Pieter Elbers exited the corner office, with Rahul Bhatia holding the fort in the interim.
The choice signals intent. Walsh brings decades of cockpit-to-boardroom experience, having led British Airways and later International Airlines Group, the parent of Aer Lingus, Iberia and Vueling. His tenure across carriers has been defined by hard resets, restructurings and cross-border consolidation—skills IndiGo may need as competition intensifies and scale becomes decisive.
Vikram Singh Mehta, chairman and non-executive independent director of IndiGo, said Walsh’s experience in managing large-scale airline operations and navigating complex market dynamics makes him well-suited to lead IndiGo in an increasingly competitive global aviation environment, adding that the appointment marks a new chapter as the airline scales in one of the world’s fastest-growing markets.
Rahul Bhatia said Walsh’s global perspective, operational expertise and customer-focused approach would be critical as IndiGo enters its next phase of expansion.
Walsh, widely regarded as one of the industry’s most influential figures, will oversee overall management and strategic direction, with a mandate spanning operational performance, network expansion, commercial strategy and customer experience. He is expected to work closely with the board and leadership team to sharpen IndiGo’s growth trajectory.
Walsh said IndiGo has a strong foundation and is well-positioned to capitalise on the evolving aviation landscape, adding that he looks forward to fostering a culture of excellence, innovation and sustainable value creation across the organisation.
A new captain, a bigger runway—and a market that rewards scale. IndiGo is lining up for its next take-off.
