By Maneesh Mishra, Chief Product & Marketing Officer, Bandhan Life Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], October 15: At a Navratri celebration, a parent reaches for a child’s hand in the crowd.

Looking at my sister in those photographs, her lehenga was an absolute masterpiece. Months of painstaking hand-embroidery and custom-matched palette...
