the article and hook look much better now. I've taken the liberty of adding you to the co-creation credits. Restoring tick per Narutolovehinata5's review. ALT0a good to go.

I came to promote this, but before I do, could a conversion be added to "₹ 6,07,200"? As someone who is not from India, I found this number confusing, and although
