What happens when hospitality stops being about service—and starts being about care? That's the question I'm exploring this week on Eating at a Meeting Podcast LIVE with Lindsay Martin-Bilbrey, CMP, CEO of Nifty Method Marketing + Events and longtime event strategist, chef, and hashtag#eventprof who's worn just about every hat in the business. From executive kitchens to corporate boardrooms, Lindsay knows the difference between a meal that's memorable and one that's merely managed. To her, safe, sustainable, and inclusive food and beverage experiences aren't separate goals—they're the natural outcome of a culture built on care, communication, and connection. Together, we'll talk about what it takes to create culinary ecosystems where: ▶︎ Teams are trained and empowered—not just compliant. ▶︎ Sustainability includes people as much as the planet. ▶︎ Inclusion starts long before the menu is printed. Lindsay will share lessons from her time leading both event agencies and restaurant kitchens—why aligning front- and back-of-house teams is the key to guest trust, how authentic sustainability impacts revenue, and what it looks like when care becomes a business strategy. Because the guest experience only works when the team experience does too. Join the conversation that connects it all—from the first site visit to the final plate.
The Nifty stayed flat, but for tobacco investors, today was a bloodbath. ITC and Godfrey Phillips tanked over 10% in a single session. Why? The government just unleashed a new tax regime: 40% GST and a steep excise duty hike up to ₹8,500. Billions in market cap were wiped out in hours. Is this the end of the road for tobacco stocks, or a buying opportunity in the wreckage? Plus, amidst the chaos, GST collections hit ₹1.74 Lakh Cr—proof the economy is booming while stocks bleed. Sanket Bendre breaks down the damage.
