Oh my heavens, the profile section says "Today the brand Eveready is synonymous with power, with a durable franchise that has spanned over a century. It's a name that has progressed with the country". I had thought that Eveready (i.e. Union Carbide) was still associated in India with some very unfortunate events that parts of the country are still suffering from.

Eveready isn't Union Carbide. Ralston Purina bought Eveready/Energizer from Union Carbide in 1984. In 2000, Ralston Purina spun Eveready off. Since then it's been an independent company, going by the name Energizer.
