This is Nelson John, and I'll bring you the top business and tech stories, let's get started. 

IndusInd Bank's derivatives issue is an isolated case, says RBI. The Nifty Midcap index sees its biggest jump since June 2024, Adani Group eyes medical tourism with its airport-linked hospital plan and Vodafone Idea explores a Starlink partnership for satellite internet. Plus, IPL 2025 is a goldmine for influencers, and Google's $32 billion Wiz deal shakes up cloud wars. Tune in for all this and more! 

In part two, political economist Patrick Bond outlines the activities of Glencore and other South African energy corporations which continue to ship coal to Israel's electricity grid. Despite the historic efforts of South Africa to bring a genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice, as well as its involvement in the Hague Group to demand enforcement of international rulings on Israel's unlawful occupation, Bond discusses South African policies and crony capitalist transactions which ultimately undermine these Palestine solidarity initiatives. With corporations such as India's Adani Group heavily invested in Israel's economy, Bond exposes the contradictions in BRICS' stance towards Israel.  

Tech Leaders Push Longer Workweeks: Brin Advocates 60-Hour Grind for AI Race Google co-founder Sergey Brin is urging employees to work 60-hour weeks, believing it's crucial for winning the race toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). His stance aligns with Infosys' Narayana Murthy, who suggested 70-hour workweeks for young Indians, and L&T's SN Subrahmanyan, who went even further with 90-hour weeks. In an internal memo, Brin stressed that with OpenAI and Microsoft closing in, Google must double down on effort. He encouraged engineers to use the company's AI models for coding efficiency, reinforcing the message that AI's future won't wait. But will employees embrace this relentless work culture? Adani Eyes U.S. Expansion Amid Legal Woes Despite bribery allegations, Adani Group is reviving plans to invest in U.S. infrastructure, including nuclear power, utilities, and an East Coast port. Founder Gautam Adani faces accusations of bribing Indian officials to secure power deals, while the U.S. SEC is investigating a $265 million fraud scheme involving his nephew, Sagar Adani. The group denies the charges and is exploring legal options. Adani has pledged $10 billion toward U.S. energy security, potentially creating 15,000 jobs, banking on Trump's pro-energy policies. This isn't its first U.S. venture—the group previously considered Texas petrochemical investments. However, with mounting legal scrutiny, its American ambitions face uncertainty. India's Semiconductor Push: A Slow Climb Up the Value Chain India's $10 billion semiconductor Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, launched in 2021, signals a long-term ambition to build a Silicon Valley-like ecosystem. Semiconductor manufacturing is capital-intensive, with a single fab costing up to $20 billion. Countries like Taiwan and South Korea dominate through subsidies, tech transfers, and strategic alliances—tactics India has been slower to adopt. So far, India has focused on the assembly, testing, and packaging (ATP) segment, with actual payouts totaling just $2 billion since 2023. Meanwhile, semiconductor imports have shifted away from China, with Taiwan and South Korea now supplying nearly a third of India's chips. With the U.S. restricting tech transfers to China, India has a unique opportunity to move up the value chain. But will global players bet big on India? That remains the billion-dollar question. Bitcoin vs. Gold: One Soars, the Other Stumbles Bitcoin and gold, often compared as stores of value, are charting very different paths. Since peaking at $109,000 in January, Bitcoin has plunged 24%, while gold has climbed nearly 8%. The reason? Market sentiment. Bitcoin behaves like a speculative asset, swayed by AI spending trends, tariffs, and Trump's unpredictable policies, which have triggered a broader market pullback. In contrast, gold benefits from central bank purchases and geopolitical instability. Analyst Eric Wallerstein predicts gold could reach $4,000 by the decade's end. Meanwhile, Bitcoin remains volatile—BlackRock estimates its annual price swings at 50%, far above gold's 15%. As uncertainty looms, investors are opting for the stability of gold, leaving Bitcoin in pursuit of reliability.

Bangladesh chief adviser Muhammad Yunus has recommended appointment of a 'reputed law & investigative firm' to assist in review of at least 7 power contracts signed during Hasina regime.

Few days ago, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) issued an indictment against executives of the Adani Group for orchestrating a massive bribery scheme to secure solar energy contracts worth billions of dollars in India. The indictment specifically states that, between July 2021 and February 2022, the Adanis and their associates promised bribes to Indian government officials to secure agreements with state-run electricity distribution companies, which in turn entered into power supply agreements with the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI). The contracts were expected to generate profits of approximately US$2 billion over the next two decades, according to the petition. However, a year ago in November 2023, Adani (like Milele Energy in Sierra Leone) received US$553 million debt financing from the United States International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to fund the Colombo Port Terminal in Sri Lanka, a project in which the Adani Group held 51% ownership. In Sierra Leone, Milele Energy similarly received over US$400 million in DFC debt financing for a corruptly awarded energy project in Freetown. The contract relating to the Western Area Power Generation Project was never advertised or put on a public tender, and was secretly awarded to Milele Energy executives by Julius Maada Bio following deal arrangements and negotiations brokered in Lebanon, Nairobi, Dubai, and Freetown between 2021 and 2023. In this episode, we ask what are the implications of the Adani Group indictment for Milele Energy's corrupt acquisition of Sierra Leone's Western Area Power Generation Project? Also, what is the relationship between the Adani Group corruption case and our ongoing efforts to scrutinize corrupt acquisition of critical infrastructure and service related contracts by US financed corporations in Sierra Leone, including Milele Energy and the Summa Group? Thus, we point out the need to investigate DFC's operation in Sierra Leone from 2021 to present. This episode is part of the Voice from Exile series of the Africanist Press.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Ichha Sharma.Today is the 22th of November and here are this week's headlines.Karnataka's Anti-Naxal Force shot and killed fugitive Naxal leader Vikram Gowda in a gunbattle on Monday night in Udupi. The 44-year-old had been a key member of the banned CPI (Maoist) group, considered one of the last remaining major Naxal leaders from Karnataka. His death follows the 2021 arrest of another top leader, B.G. Krishnamurthy. With Gowda's death, the remaining underground Naxals in Karnataka come down to just seven, including four women.Delhi's air quality hit alarming levels early Tuesday, with an AQI of 492, placing the capital in the "severe-plus" category. Certain areas, including Alipur and Anand Vihar, surpassed the 500 mark. This means Delhi residents are breathing in pollutants equivalent to 50 cigarettes a day, posing serious health risks to everyone, not just those with pre-existing conditions. The government has implemented its highest emergency measures, and the Supreme Court has ordered these actions to remain in place until further notice. Additionally, Delhi's Environment Minister Gopal Rai announced a 50% work-from-home policy for both private and government offices due to severe air pollution.As polling concluded in Maharashtra and Jharkhand, urban voter ahpathy remained a challenge for the Election Commission, which frequently ran campaigns to encourage people to come out in large numbers and vote.

The charges allege the group bribed Indian officials to secure power contracts in India.

BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra hit back, accusing Congress of destabilizing Indian markets with false propaganda. He questioned why Congress-ruled states had welcomed Adani's investments despite the controversy.On the global front, Russia launched an intercontinental ballistic missile from its southern Astrakhan region in an attack against Ukraine. Kyiv's air force said this is the first time since the war broke out that Russia has used a long-range missile.

From the BBC World Service: Gautam Adani is accused of orchestrating a $250 million bribery scheme and concealing it to raise money in the U.S. The Adani Group has denied the allegations, which relate to renewable energy contracts.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 21st of November and here are the headlines.1. US Indicts Adani Group Executives for Bribery SchemeIn a major legal development, US prosecutors have indicted Gautam Adani, the chairman of Adani Group, along with seven others, accusing them of orchestrating a $250 million bribery scheme. The charges allege the group bribed Indian officials to secure power contracts in India. Alongside the indictment, the US SEC is seeking penalties and a jury trial for Adani and his associates, citing their operations in the US and impact on American investors.2. Adani Bribery Scheme Details Revealed in US Court FilingA US court filing reveals that over $228 million was allegedly paid in bribes to an unnamed high-ranking Andhra Pradesh official to secure solar power contracts. The bribe was part of a deal to help the Solar Energy Corporation of India purchase seven gigawatts of solar power. The filing doesn't name the official or the companies involved, but details indicate this official served in Andhra Pradesh from May 2019 to June 2024.3. Rahul Gandhi vs. BJP on Adani IndictmentThe political war over the Adani bribery case heats up as Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accuses the Indian government of supporting Gautam Adani, who was indicted in the US for allegedly offering over $200 million in bribes. BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra hit back, accusing Congress of destabilizing Indian markets with false propaganda. He questioned why Congress-ruled states had welcomed Adani's investments despite the controversy.4. Supreme Court on Yasin Malik's Trial in Tihar JailThe Supreme Court of India raised concerns about conducting a fair trial for separatist leader Yasin Malik, currently serving life imprisonment in Tihar Jail. The court suggested setting up a courtroom within the prison for his trial in a 1989 kidnapping case. Justice Oka reminded that even Ajmal Kasab received a fair trial in India, emphasizing the country's commitment to due process, despite the challenges posed by remote hearings.5. Ukraine Claims Russia Launched ICBM at DniproIn a shocking escalation, Ukraine reported that Russia launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) targeting Dnipro city. If confirmed, this would mark Russia's first use of an ICBM in the ongoing conflict. Ukraine's air force said the missile was launched from Russia's Astrakhan region. In response, Ukrainian forces intercepted six out of nine incoming missiles, marking a significant moment in the war as both sides intensify their military operations.This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express.

*) Israel kills 66 Palestinians, wounds 100 in new Gaza massacre Israel unleashed another deadly attack in northern Gaza, killing at least 66 Palestinians and injuring 100 more in a devastating air strike near Kamal Adwan Hospital, witnesses and local journalists report. Palestinian journalist Hossam Shabat described the scene as “horrific”, revealing that the bombing targeted displaced people and “wiped out entire families”. Hussam Abu Safiya, the hospital's director, painted an even grimmer picture, saying that “there were about 200 people at the site when it was bombed. Many are dead, others are injured, and so many are still buried under the rubble”. *) Senate scuttles Sanders' shot at stopping sale of US arms to Israel The US Senate has rejected Senator Bernie Sanders' attempt to halt arms sales to Israel, even as concerns grow over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Out of 100 senators, a striking majority — 79 — voted against blocking sales of tank rounds to Israel, while 18 supported the measure. Similar resistance met Sanders' second proposal to stop mortar shipments, with 78 senators voting “no”. The votes broke largely along party lines, with all “yes” votes coming from Sanders' Democratic caucus allies. A third proposal, targeting the sale of bomb-guidance systems, was also on the table but faced dim prospects. *) Ukraine said to have fired UK Storm Shadow missiles into Russia For the first time, Ukraine has used British-supplied Storm Shadow missiles against Russia, British media reports, with London reportedly giving the green light. Several of the long-range missiles were fired at a Russian military target, according to the Financial Times, which cited a Western official. The Times confirmed the move, noting it's the first deployment of these missiles since Britain handed them over. *) Paramilitary rampage in central Sudan kills at least 40 people — medic Violence erupted in central Sudan as paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) launched an assault on a village north of Wad Madani, leaving at least 40 people dead, according to a medic from Wad Rawah Hospital. “All the victims suffered direct gunshot wounds,” said the medic, who spoke anonymously due to repeated attacks on healthcare workers. Eyewitnesses said the attack began Tuesday night, with the paramilitary RSF launching a deadly assault on the village. This bloodshed comes amid months of clashes between the RSF and Sudan's military, pushing Al-Jazira state deeper into chaos and turning once-safe areas into battlegrounds. And finally… *) US charges Indian tycoon Gautam Adani with duping investors, bribery plot Gautam Adani, the billionaire behind India's Adani Group, is now facing US federal charges for an alleged bribery scheme involving hundreds of millions of dollars. Prosecutors in Brooklyn claim that between 2020 and 2024, Adani, along with two associates, paid $250 million in bribes to Indian officials to secure lucrative solar energy contracts projected to yield $2 billion in profits. The accused executives allegedly covered their tracks with false and misleading financial statements, raising over $3 billion in loans and bonds.

This Day in Legal History: Gong Lum v. RiceOn November 21, 1927, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in Gong Lum v. Rice, a landmark case concerning racial segregation in public education. The case arose when Martha Lum, a nine-year-old Chinese American girl, was denied entry to a school for white children in Mississippi. Local authorities directed her to attend a school designated for Black students under the state's racially segregated education system. Her father, Gong Lum, challenged the decision, arguing that such segregation violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.The Supreme Court, however, ruled unanimously that Mississippi's actions were constitutional. It extended the "separate but equal" doctrine established in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) to include Asian Americans, thereby reinforcing the legality of segregated schools. The Court maintained that states had the authority to classify students by race and assign them to separate schools, as long as the facilities were deemed equal. This decision effectively placed Chinese Americans and other non-White groups under the same discriminatory segregation laws applied to African Americans in the Jim Crow South.The ruling was a significant blow to the Lum family and a stark reminder of the pervasive racial hierarchies embedded in U.S. law at the time. It also illustrated how the "separate but equal" doctrine legitimized widespread exclusion and inequality, beyond Black and White racial dynamics. The precedent set by Gong Lum v. Rice remained unchallenged for decades, contributing to the entrenchment of racially segregated education across the United States.This decision underscored the systemic nature of racial discrimination in early 20th-century America. It wasn't until Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 that the Supreme Court overruled the doctrine of "separate but equal," marking a pivotal shift toward dismantling segregation in public education. Gong Lum v. Rice remains a critical case in the history of American civil rights law, reflecting the broader struggles of minority groups against institutionalized racism.The latest round of year-end bonuses at major law firms reflects a cautious approach to associate compensation as firms prioritize protecting partner profits amid rising revenues. Milbank LLP initiated the bonus announcements, offering payments up to $140,000, including special bonuses introduced earlier in the year. At least five firms have matched Milbank's bonus structure, with others expected to follow. However, the stagnant bonus scale, unchanged since 2021, indicates a broader effort to manage costs while maintaining profitability.This year, firms are separating special bonuses from regular ones to avoid setting new precedents for higher compensation scales. Recruiters note that Milbank's early announcements help attract associate attention, a valuable branding strategy. The firm's financial success, with $1.5 billion in gross revenue and over $5.1 million in profits per equity partner last year, underscores its robust position, even as it faces some high-profile departures and lateral hires.Despite the cautious bonus adjustments, top law firms are thriving. A Wells Fargo survey revealed a 15% revenue increase and a 25% net income rise among the 50 largest firms, driven by higher demand, productivity, and billing rates. Still, associate productivity has only slightly improved from record lows, and firms are increasingly focusing on partner-level recruitment to sustain profitability. Traditional leaders like Cravath remain influential in finalizing bonus decisions, reinforcing long-standing industry customs.Big Law Hedges Associate Bonuses to Protect Partner ProfitsIndian billionaire Gautam Adani has been charged by U.S. prosecutors in a $265 million bribery scheme involving payments to Indian officials to secure power contracts and develop India's largest solar power project. The indictment, which includes securities fraud and conspiracy charges, also implicates Adani's nephew, Sagar Adani, and former Adani Green Energy CEO Vneet Jaain. The scheme allegedly defrauded American investors by concealing corruption in financial materials for bond offerings, including one that raised $750 million in 2021.The U.S. has issued arrest warrants for Gautam and Sagar Adani, intending to involve foreign authorities under an extradition treaty with India. Adani's conglomerate, already under scrutiny after a critical report by Hindenburg Research in 2023, saw its market value plunge by $20 billion following the indictment. Adani Green Energy canceled a $600 million bond sale, and shares of Adani-related firms dropped sharply.Indian regulators, including SEBI, have yet to comment on the U.S. charges, while opposition parties in India demand further investigations into the group. The Adani Group denies the allegations and plans to challenge the charges, but the scandal has intensified scrutiny over the company's operations and political connections.Indian tycoon Gautam Adani charged in US over $265 million bribery scheme | ReutersThe U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has proposed sweeping measures to address what it calls Google's illegal monopoly in online search and related advertising. Prosecutors argue that Google must divest its Chrome browser, share search data with competitors, and potentially sell its Android operating system to restore competition. The proposals aim to dismantle Google's dominant market position, as it processes 90% of U.S. searches.Other recommendations include banning Google from exclusive agreements with device makers like Apple, ending its preference for its search engine on Chrome and Android, and restricting acquisitions of search rivals or AI products. A five-member technical committee would oversee compliance for up to a decade, with powers to review documents, interview staff, and inspect software code.Chrome and Android are central to Google's business, as they collect user data crucial for targeted advertising. Prosecutors claim these platforms unfairly entrench Google's dominance by limiting rivals' market access. The DOJ also proposes mandatory licensing of search results to competitors at low cost and unrestricted data-sharing unless privacy laws prevent it. Google opposes the measures, calling them government overreach that would harm consumers and innovation. A trial is scheduled for April 2025, during which Google can present alternative proposals. These measures could reshape the digital landscape and are being closely watched by competitors like DuckDuckGo, which supports the DOJ's initiatives.Google must divest Chrome to restore competition in online search, DOJ says | ReutersThe U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has finalized a rule to regulate major technology firms like Apple Inc. that offer digital wallets and payment apps. Companies processing more than 50 million U.S.-dollar transactions annually will now face oversight similar to banks. This rule significantly raises the initial threshold of 5 million transactions proposed last year. It empowers the CFPB to supervise these firms regularly, not just when legal violations occur, as digital payments become increasingly essential to consumers.CFPB Director Rohit Chopra emphasized that digital payments are now a necessity, warranting heightened oversight. The shift comes as digital wallet usage in the U.S. surged to 62% in 2023, up from 47% the previous year, with Apple Pay maintaining dominance in the sector.The new regulatory environment follows global scrutiny of tech firms. Apple recently agreed with European regulators to open its near-field communication technology to competitors, a notable change in its approach. Other firms, like PayPal, are also cooperating with the CFPB on compliance questions regarding digital wallet features.The rule, set to take effect 30 days after its publication, introduces a significant shift in how large tech firms are governed. However, it remains an open question how these regulations will fare under the Trump administration, given the potential for policy shifts in the new political climate.Apple Pay, Other Tech Firms Come Under CFPB Regulatory Oversight This is a public episode.

The ASX struggled today, slipping after an early rise of 0.4% faded, leaving markets unable to secure a fourth gain in five sessions despite a solid start to the week.

Retailer Accent Group plunged nearly 12% due to disappointing margins, and fund manager GQG saw a 15% drop amid controversy surrounding Adani Group. On the global stage, Nvidia's earnings exceeded expectations but revealed slower growth forecasts and supply constraints, leading to a 2.5% dip in after-hours trading.

From the BBC World Service: Like the U.S., the European Union recently slapped import duties on Chinese electric vehicles. It says it’s protecting European automakers from unfair competition, but not everyone — such as Spain’s prime minister and Belgian firm Umicore — agrees. Then, Kenya's main airport is facing major disruption after workers staged a go-slow protest over a proposed 30-year lease deal with the Indian conglomerate, the Adani Group.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 9th of September and here are the headlines.The Supreme Court today said there was a delay of “at least 14 hours” in the registration of the FIR in connection with the alleged rape and murder of a junior doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. Led by the Chief Justice of India, the bench was perusing a status report filed by the CBI, which is probing the case. The CBI informed the court that it had decided to resend samples taken from the crime scene to AIIMS and Central Forensic Sciences Labs. Additionally, it was stated that CBI had been given only four video clips of a total duration of 27 minutes. The bench, which sought a fresh status report from the CBI, also fixed the matter for hearing next on the 18th of September. During his first international trip as the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha to the US, Rahul Gandhi said that following the Lok Sabha election results earlier this year, people's fear of the BJP had vanished. He added that the people realised they would not tolerate attacks on the Constitution, religions, and states. Gandhi is on a four-day unofficial trip to the US during which he will interact with the members of the Indian diaspora and the youth, with stops in Dallas, Texas, and Washington DC.  A day after the Ganesh Chaturthi festival began, Surat city witnessed riots in old wall city areas, after four teenagers allegedly pelted stones to damage a Ganesh idol and injured a man.

Police resorted to lathi-charging to control the mob near the station. According to police, they apprehended the four accused, including two teenagers, and detained around 27 people who were said to be involved in the stone-pelting.According to Syria's state news agency, SANA, the Israeli airstrikes targeted several areas in central Syria, killing at least four people and injuring 13 late Sunday.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 13th of August and here are the headlines.Calcutta HC has ordered CBI probe in the case of the rape and murder of a 31-year-old junior doctor who was found dead in a seminar hall at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata on Friday. Earlier in the day Chief Justice T S Sivagnanam asked why a murder case was not registered at the outset and why an unnatural death case was initiated to the West Bengal government lawyer when he claimed that an unnatural death case was registered, as there is no immediate complaint of murder. The division bench presided by the Chief Justice said the body of the postgraduate trainee was not found on the roadside, and the superintendent or the principal of the hospital could have filed the complaint.The Hindus in Bangladesh continue to protest against recent attacks on them. Chief advisor of the new interim government Muhammad Yunus who is expected to meet two minority groups today urged Bangladeshi Hindus to treat themselves as human beings and children of the soil. “You simply say that you are human, a citizen of Bangladesh, and this is your constitutional right that must be ensured. Just demand this, nothing more,” he was quoted as saying by Dhaka Tribune.A lawyer has approached the Supreme Court with a fresh application seeking compliance with its January 3, 2024, order asking the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) to “complete the pending investigations” into some of the allegations raised by the US-based short seller Hindenburg Research against Adani Group “preferably within three months”. In his plea, Advocate Vishal Tiwari said the Supreme Court in its order “clearly fixed the timeline of three months for the completion of investigations by Sebi”.While rejecting the bail application of a man booked on various charges, including those under the anti-conversion law, the Allahabad High Court recently observed that the primary objective of the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act, 2021, is to guarantee religious freedom to all, thereby reflecting the social harmony and spirit of India. The court noted that the Act's objective is to uphold the spirit of secularism in the country.Assassination attempt, nuclear dominance, cutting down on government regulations — these were some of the topics up for discussion in a conversation between Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk, marking the former's comeback on the social media platform ‘X'. Trump stuck to his speech from the four-day Republican National Convention highlighting President Biden's shortcomings and calling his withdrawal from the presidential race ‘a coup'. Speaking of nuclear warming and the tug of powers, he spoke of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and claimed that it wouldn't have happened if he had been in charge.This was the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express.
