Welcome to the January 2025 roundup. In just one month we covered everything from India’s biggest pharma player to the companies drowning the planet in plastic. If you’re hunting for fresh ideas, market pain points, or practical tips, you’re in the right place.
Top Stories You Can’t Miss

Next, we exposed the biggest plastic polluters, breaking down which corporations are responsible for the most waste and what they’re doing (or not doing) to clean up.
For entrepreneurs, two posts delivered a reality check. One explained why most manufacturing startups stumble—think cash‑flow gaps, supply‑chain hiccups, and under‑estimating regulatory hurdles.
