Max Group is an Indian conglomerate headquartered in New Delhi, operating in the fields of life insurance, real estate and independent senior living.[4] It was founded in 1985 by Analjit Singh.[1]
Max Group companies include Max Financial Services, Max Estates, and Max India.[5]
Max Group traces its origin to the company inherited by Analjit Singh in 1985, following the death of his father Bhai Mohan Singh, founder of pharmaceutical company Ranbaxy Laboratories. Then named Max India (same as that of the current publicly listed Max Group company), it started life as a manufacturer of an active drug compound for penicillin.[6] In 1993, the group ventured into telecommunications by forming a joint venture with Hutchison Asia Telecom Group, called Max Telecom. Max Telecom was later sold to Vodafone and became Vodafone India.[7] The group shifted its focus from being a B2B to B2C company in 2000, by foraying into the fields of healthcare and life insurance.[8] Axis Max Life Insurance was founded in 2000.
Three publicly listed holding companies fall under Max Group: Max Financial Services, Max Estates and Max India. The three holding companies have their own separate subsidiaries. The structure is as follows:
Max India
Max Financial Services
Max Estates
The group is led by Analjit Singh and a board of directors. Each holding company under the group operates independently and has its own board of directors and shareholders.[9][10] In 2019, the group posted revenues of $3.2 billion.[11]

The Boeing 737 MAX groundings had a deep financial effect on the aviation industry and a significant effect on the national economy of the United States. No airline took delivery of the MAX during the groundings. A grounding of the 737 MAX 8 lasted between 13 March 2019 and 18 November 2020 and a shorter grounding for the 737 MAX 9 between 6 January 2024 and 25 January 2024. Boeing slowed MAX production to 42 aircraft per month until January 2020, when they halted until the aircraft was reapproved by regulators. Boeing has suffered directly through increased costs, loss of sales and revenue, loss of reputation, victims litigation, client compensation, decreased credit rating and lowered stock value. In January 2020, the company estimated a loss of $18.4 billion for 2019, and it reported 183 canceled MAX orders for the year. In February 2020, the global COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting travel bans created further uncertainty for Boeing. In March 2020, news that Boeing was seeking a $60 billion bailout caused a steep drop in its stock price, though Boeing eventually received $17 billion in funds from the coronavirus stimulus. Its extensive supply chain providing aircraft components and flight simulators suffered similar losses, as did the aircraft services industry, including crew training, the aftermarket and the aviation insurance industry. At the time of the recertification by the FAA in November 2020, Boeing's net orders for the 737 MAX were down by more than 1,000 aircraft, 448 orders canceled and 782 orders removed from the backlog because they are no longer certain enough to rely on; the total estimated direct costs of the MAX groundings were US$20 billion and indirect costs over US$60 billion. On January 7, 2021, Boeing settled to pay over $2.5 billion after being charged with fraud.

Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
