tions of hedge-fund managers Todd
Newman and Anthony Chiasson.
In court papers filed on Thursday,
prosecutors said Gupta is “not an innocent man” as he abused his position as a corporate insider by repeatedly divulging inside information to
Rajaratnam, who reaped millions of
dollars in illegal profits based on
Gupta’s tips. Gupta, 66, is seeking
to set aside his conviction, based on
the Second Circuit’s decision in the
case against Newman, in which the
court ruled that prosecutors must
show that a defendant got a personal benefit for passing illegal tips.
Convicted in 2012, Gupta began
serving a two-year prison term on insider trading charges in June, 2014.
He was also fined USD five million.
Stressing that the personal aspect of
Gupta-Rajaratnam relationship was
“undeniable,” the government said
Gupta personally invested in Galleon and participated in several actual and contemplated ventures with
him.
“In sum, Gupta’s financial interests
were heavily aligned with Galleon’s.
Rajaratnam bestowed corporate titles on Gupta, gave him an ongoing
financial interest in Galleon
International...and generally granted
Gupta a level of access and corporate prestige that Gupta craved. As
part of their business relationship,
each had shared expectations. Rajaratnam expected, and Gupta consistently delivered, inside information
that Gupta possessed as a corporate insider. For those tips, Gupta
clearly expected potential pecuniary
gain in return,” the prosecutors said.

NEW YORK, APR 4: India-born exGoldman Sachs director Rajat Gupta’s conviction on insider trading
charges should not be thrown out as
the government provided “overwhelming” proof against him for
passing on illegal information in return for “expected potential pecuniary gains,” US prosecutors said.
The prosecutors said the IIT and
Harvard-educated former McKinsey
head, who is serving a two-year sentence, had a “powerful” financial incentive to tip his billionaire hedgefund operator friend Raj Rajaratnam.
Attorney for the Southern District of
New York, Preet Bharara, submitted
a memorandum on behalf of the government opposing Gupta’s plea to
throw out his conviction based on a

Levi Strauss saves water through
sustainability initiative
GUWAHATI, APR 4 : Levi Strauss &
Co. (LS&Co.) has announced that it
has saved 1 billion litres of water
since
2011
through
its
Water<Less™ process, which reduces the water used in garment finishing by up to 96 percent.
This announcement, stated a press
release, coincides with the release
of LS&Co.’s new Product Life Cycle
Assessment (LCA), an update on the
company’s groundbreaking 2007
study that examined the environmental impact of LS&Co. products.
The new study analysed the complete product life cycle, probing
deeper into the environmental impacts of cotton in key growing regions, apparel production and distribution in a range of locations, and
consumer washing and drying habits in key markets.
The study shows that of the nearly
3,800 litres of water used throughout the lifetime of a pair of jeans,
cotton cultivation (68%) and consumer use (23%) continue to have
the most significant impact on water
consumption. Consumer care is also
responsible for the most significant
energy use and climate impact, representing 37 percent of the 33.4 ki-
lograms of carbon dioxide emitted
during the lifecycle of a jean.
The new LCA expands on previous
research to better understand the
impact of cotton cultivation and includes data from the world’s primary cotton producing countries, including the United States, China, Brazil,
India, Pakistan and Australia. It also
analyzes consumer care data from
new markets, including China,
France and the United Kingdom, to
understand the costs and benefits of
differences in washing habits.
To reduce the impact of cotton consumption, LS&Co. is working with the
Better Cotton Initiative® (BCI) to train
farmers to grow cotton using less
water. Based on the latest BCI harvest data available, in 2013, cotton
farmers in China reduced their water use by 23 percent compared with
farmers who were not using BCI
techniques. LS&Co. plans to continue working with its global suppliers
with the goal of sourcing approximately 75 percent Better Cotton by
2020, up from 6 percent today.
LS&Co. will also continue to work
toward using less water during manufacturing by expanding the
Water<Less™ process to include
more Levi’s® products, such as tops.
By 2020, the Levi’s® brand aims to
make 80 percent of its products using Water<Less™ techniques, up
from nearly 25 percent today.
The new LCA also reveals that Americans use more water and energy to
wash their jeans than consumers in
China, France and the U.K. It shows
that consumers in China wear their
jeans, on average, four times before
tossing them into the wash — and if
American consumers did this, they
could reduce the water and climate
change impact from washing their
jeans by 50 percent.
“It’s time to rethink autopilot behaviors like washing your jeans after
every wear because in many cases
it’s simply not necessary,” said Chip
Bergh, CEO and president of
LS&Co. “Our LCA findings have
pushed us as a company to rethink
how we make our jeans, and we’re
proud that our water stewardship
actions to date have saved 1 billion
liters of water. By engaging and educating consumers, we can fundamentally change the environmental
impact of apparel and, ideally, how
consumers think about the clothes
they wear every day.”
Grub Fest : A chance to savour delectable delicacies
NEW DELHI, APR 4: Delhiites
have a chance to savour a variety of food this weekend. Lebanese, Chinese, North Indian,
Italian, Mughlai, Mexican,
Coastal, Sushi and a variety of
other cuisines from nearly 50
city eateries have been brought
under one roof in a ‘Grub Fest’
organised here at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium Lawns.
A brainchild of passionate
foodies, Chaitanya Mathur and
Mani Singh Cheema, the event
was inspired after extensive
travelling throughout the world
and attending various food festivals. “The idea to bring a food
carnival like this was conceptulised four years ago. After extensive travelling to International Food Festivals like the ‘Taste
of London’ which impressed us,
we executed our plans and
came up with this food carnival
bringing in wide variety of food
for our guests visiting the food
fest,” says Mathur.
The food carnival, which
makes its debut this year got
over 150 plus queries from various eateries and restaurants
from which it brought over 70
eateries under its umbrella including wide variety of famous
restaurants and cuisines on pop
ups and food trucks. Salads to
north Indian food, vegetarian to
Mughalai, coastal food to Chinese and many more, the food
carnival attempts to bring a variety of food to the capital for
three days, ending April 5. “We
wanted the foodies to taste different cuisines under the same
roof and hence came up with
this idea of laying cuisines from
all over the world. We want the
people to come for all the three
days,” says Mathur.
Participants of the three day
food-extravaganza include var-
ious restaurants like Royal China, United Coffee House, Zizo,
Ploof, Zambar, Nawabi, Smokey's, Fio, Town Hall, Dao,
Switch, NYC Pie, Kathi’s, Shiv
Sagar etc. There is also a bar
done by A Ta Maison & PCO.
Among the food trucks was the
Lalit Food Truck Company serving crispy taco, falafel and fries,
tortilla wraps, churros and burgers.
The truck journeys in cities like
Khajuraho, New Delhi, Mumbai,
Bangalore, Udaipur, Goa, Srinagar though the menu remains the same. Other food
trucks include ‘What the Truck’
and Super Sucker. Super Sucker has been serving food in corporate parties, music fests and
has been in the catering services. The ‘mutton wrap’ seemed
to be the most selling item at
this eating joint while salads,
burito, soya keema pav and
French fries were also on the
menu.
‘The Dao’ served a variety of
lamb, chicken, prawns and
mock duck in hot basil sauce
specially curated by Chef Kachit Vong Vichai. Amidst the
oriental flavours was the Punjab grill which tabled the traditional Rajma Chawal, Tandoori
Chicken, Aloo Tikki and Bhalla
Papdi to name a few. The lunch
was the most fruitful of in the
day with customers flocking the
counter to satisfy their hunger
pangs. “We have aimed to sustain our brand. People come
over here because of the quality and taste that we offer to the
guests,” says Anup, Operations
Manager of Punjab Grill. Stalls
at the carnival are decorated
with each stall sporting a unique
decoration style with some featuring artistic work with bell peppers and sunglasses.
One such stall, ‘Food Stories’,
sports Cocktails Drums for
drinks. Candy Floss and Fresh
Lime are the other popular attractions. “The cuisine here is
inspired from the different cuisines from all over the world.
The dishes have a blend of Italian and Mediterranean coupled
together and twisted in my own
style. The ingredients used are
fresh and have been taken from
all over the world,” says Chef
Mohsin Sidana who had laid an
elaborate menu for his guests
including Belgian Chicken Waffles with Cheddar Cheese,
lambs, fries among others. The
‘Bombay Shivsagar’ which has
chains in different parts of the
country including Kolkata,
Mumbai, Kanpur, Gujarat etc
serves up Vada Pav and Pav
Bhaji from Mumbai. A pool of
sea foods like the Salmon Fillet, Pomfret Fillet, Red Shrimp,
Crabs, Prawns etc. Zambar had

Moplah Chicken Biryani, Chettinad Veg Korma etc are featured in “Ploof”.
Customised programme
called 'Grub Police' was designed for guests to create curated food walks for groups interested to go for a educative
walk on the festival. ‘Fio’ stationed at Nehru Place in the city
had the ‘Anda Parantha’ which
was fluffy coupled with fresh
herbs and twisted flavours says
