In this episode, we break down why PPFAS Mutual Fund — known for its long-term, value-based approach — recently added Bharti Airtel to its portfolio. We connect the dots between Warren Buffett's BNSF railroad bet and how telecom has now become the “digital toll road” of modern India. From industry consolidation and rising ARPUs to capex trends and free cash flow analysis, this is a complete breakdown of what makes Airtel a cash-generating machine.

But has it reached the point where daily commuters grab their cup of joe from their favourite cafe on their way to work? Or do they get it delivered in minutes? Or is the cafe only a destination for meetings?The cafe ideally serves all three use cases. But the bigger reason has more to do with what we as Indians associate with cafes when we walk into a cafe. Some answer lies in the split between food and beverages in India. Food is as big a component as coffee and coffee beverages in a cafe in India. While globally, most numbers suggest the split for food is ~10%.But there are more fundamental reasons why the cafe business is hard to crack at scale. From volume of transactions happening to catching up on the ‘grab and go' coffee culture.But even with all the troubles, more players seem keen to enter the market. Why?Hosts Rohin Dharmakumar and Praveen Gopal Krishnan have a fun and insightful conversation about India's coffee culture and its coffee drinkers' tastes in the latest episode of Two by Two.

In a country as vast and diverse as India, banking isn't just about branches — it's about access. In this episode of Why Not Mint Money, we're joined by Ganesh Ananthanarayanan, COO of ‪@AirtelPaymentsBankIN‬ to explore how technology is not only transforming the way we pay but also expanding who gets to participate in the financial system. With India's digital transactions set to triple by FY2029, we discuss how Airtel Payments Bank is using its 500,000+ banking points, business correspondent networks, and doorstep banking to bridge financial gaps — especially in rural areas. Ganesh also shares real-life stories from the ground, the role of digital finance in empowering women, and what the future holds for inclusive banking in India.

India vs. US: Trade Tensions Heat UpIndia is ready to hit back with $1.91 billion in tariffs on key US goods—like almonds, petrochemicals, and medical devices—if steel and aluminium duties aren't withdrawn by June 8. The trigger? Trump's extension of safeguard duties. Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal heads to Washington on May 16 to try and broker a deal. With $7.6B in exports on the line and a 90-day tariff pause set to expire on July 8, India's playing hardball while still betting on a Free Trade Agreement. Airtel's Q4 Rings Loud Bharti Airtel posted a stunning 432% jump in Q4FY25 net profit at ₹11,022 crore, riding high on tariff hikes and a one-time tax gain. Revenue rose 27% to ₹47,876 crore, while ARPU hit ₹245. With 590.5 million users, the company also sealed a satellite internet pact with Elon Musk's Starlink. A ₹16/share final dividend caps off a blockbuster year. Tata's Mixed Drive Tata Motors saw Q4 profit drop 51% YoY to ₹8,470 crore, but FY25 revenue hit a record ₹4.39 lakh crore. JLR's PBT soared to a decade-high £2.5 billion, and Tata's EV arm turned EBITDA positive. Challenges persist in passenger vehicles, but the company remains debt-free and optimistic. A ₹6 dividend and a key Investor Day on June 16 are on the radar. Hero's Global EV Push Hero MotoCorp's FY25 net profit rose 16% to ₹4,610 crore. Exports jumped 44%, and EV sales rocketed 175%, with its Vida brand doubling market share. But rivals like Honda and TVS are growing faster. Hero plans European expansion and is betting big on EVs and new three-wheeler plays via Euler Motors. Cipla Steady Amid Policy Storm Cipla shrugged off US pharma tariff fears and posted a 30% jump in Q4 profit to ₹1,222 crore. FY25 revenue grew 8% to ₹27,548 crore. The US remains key, now forming 29% of revenue, while India remains the long-term play. With GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic going off patent soon, Cipla's gearing up with in-house and partner products for the next leg of growth.

As missiles struck terror targets across the border in ‘Operation Sindoor', India's cyber command braced for a digital warfront. Just hours after the strikes, top cyber experts and government officials warned of a heightened risk of cyberattacks targeting India's critical infrastructure. Banks, telecom networks, and public utilities have been put on alert. The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) issued advisories to financial institutions, while the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) ordered telcos to boost network security, especially in sensitive border regions. “Cyber sabotage today can be as destructive as a missile,” warned Rakesh Bhatnagar of VoICE, highlighting risks from foreign-made telecom and power equipment. Industry insiders say everything from denial-of-service attacks to stealth intrusions aimed at stealing sensitive government data is on the table. Pakistani hackers, officials say, have already attempted website defacements and intrusions—one recent case targeted Rajasthan's education portal. With tensions high, India's cybersecurity forces are now operating at peak alert levels. Experts stress that this isn't just a government issue. “Every connected individual is vulnerable,” said Aon's Prasanna Kumar. His warning? The war is now digital—and everyone's a target. India's retaliatory strikes under ‘Operation Sindoor' have not only made geopolitical waves—they've sent defence stocks flying. Since the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, defence stocks have outpaced the broader market. The Nifty Defence Index is up 2.99%, while the Nifty 50 managed just 1.2%. Big names like Hindustan Aeronautics, Bharat Dynamics, and Mazagon Dock have all gained in anticipation of faster project execution. “Earlier, defence orders took 5–7 years to play out. Now there's pressure to deliver in three,” says Vikas Gupta of OmniScience Capital. That urgency could drive earnings and lead to analyst upgrades. What's more, the global backdrop is shifting. With Russia and Israel unable to meet export demand, and Trump pushing NATO to ramp up defence spending, India's affordable arms offerings are suddenly in high demand. “India's export potential is huge,” says Ventura's Vinit Bo-linj-kar, pointing to a 10-year global defence stockpile low. From UAVs and missiles by Adani to Tata-Airbus military aircraft and even critical mineral players like NMDC, India's defence ecosystem is expanding fast. If tensions escalate, analysts expect a spike in demand not just for weapons—but for maintenance, upgrades, and consumables. War or not, defence is clearly in investor crosshairs. After a long wait and some tough new security rules, Elon Musk's Starlink has finally been greenlit to beam satellite internet across India. The Department of Telecommunications has issued Starlink a Letter of Intent to launch services, officials confirmed. This approval positions Starlink alongside Eutelsat OneWeb and the Jio-SES JV in the race to blanket India with satellite broadband. The timing's key—Starlink's nod came just a day after the government tightened rules, mandating data localization, lawful interception, and domestic manufacturing. “They'll begin demos next, before getting the final licence,” one official said. Starlink's plans hinge on more than just a licence. It still needs IN-SPACe clearance to operate its satellite fleet and set up earth station gateways—key for local connectivity. Globally, Starlink operates the world's largest satellite constellation—over 6,750 in orbit. Back home, it's already in talks with telecom giants Airtel and Jio to distribute its kits through retail chains. With over 40% of India still offline—mostly in rural regions—analysts say Starlink's entry could be a game-changer. As Bernstein put it, this could help bridge India's deep digital divide.

This is Nelson John, and I'll bring you the top business and tech stories, let's get started. 1. India's $4 Billion Tech Design Ambition India is aiming to move up the electronics value chain with a proposed $4 billion Design-Linked Incentive (DLI) scheme. The goal? To go from “Make in India” to “Design in India.” The scheme will support 30 semiconductor and 30 electronics categories, including Wi-Fi chips, EV components, and smart meters. Incentives will be based on investment and turnover, with a focus on creating patents and IP. This comes as India files only 60,000 patents annually, far behind the U.S. and China, which each cross the one-million mark. As production-linked incentives for mobile phones wind down, this move could mark India's next leap in tech manufacturing and innovation. 2. Inflation Eases, RBI Shifts Focus to Growth Retail inflation in March dropped to 3.34%, the lowest since August 2019, thanks to cooling food prices. Food inflation fell sharply to 2.69% from 8.5% a year ago. This dip prompted the Reserve Bank of India to cut the repo rate to 6%, with more cuts expected in June. With 12 states reporting inflation below the national average and cereals inflation at a 33-month low, analysts expect the RBI to focus more on supporting growth. 3. Ericsson's India Sales Slip as 5G Rollout Slows Swedish telecom firm Ericsson reported its sixth straight quarterly revenue dip in India, down 28% year-on-year, as major telcos Airtel and Jio near completion of their 5G rollout. However, revenue rose 32% sequentially, thanks to new contracts from Vodafone Idea and Airtel. India remains Ericsson's second-largest market, though its share of global revenue dropped to 7% from 10%. Globally, Ericsson's sales rose 3%, and net profit jumped 63%, signaling strength outside India. The company remains confident in its long-term prospects despite the domestic cooldown. 4. IndiGo Becomes World's Most Valuable Airline In a landmark moment, IndiGo's market cap hit $23.45 billion, making it the world's most valuable airline. That's higher than Delta, American, or Lufthansa. The airline commands over 60% of India's domestic market and has proven resilient through multiple industry downturns. Massive aircraft orders placed early have given it an edge amid global supply shortages. The company's rise is also being seen as a case for privatization—IndiGo has thrived while government-owned airlines have floundered. Still, issues like falling service quality and limited competition loom. 5. Diamond Exports Hit 20-Year Low India's diamond and jewellery exports are in a deep slump. Exports of cut and polished diamonds fell 15% in FY25 to ₹1.12 trillion, the lowest in nearly two decades. Overall gems and jewellery exports dropped 10%, marking the third straight year of decline. The sector has been hit by post-pandemic demand shifts, sanctions on Russian diamond supplies, and now, slowing consumer demand in the U.S. and China. Lab-grown diamonds, which cost a fraction of natural ones, are also undercutting demand. The industry is calling for government support through tax breaks, easier credit, and promotion campaigns to revive growth.

After more than a week of traumatising global markets with talk of implementing huge tariffs, Donald Trump did a volte face on Wednesday night pausing their implementation on all countries but one: China. It sparked a huge comeback rally in a battered Wall Street. But is this a sustainable turnaround or just a short-lived rebound? On The Morning Brief, ET’s Markets Editor Nishanth Vasudevan speaks to Sankaran Naren, CIO of ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund, to explore the broader impact of this policy u-turn, the escalating US-China trade tensions, and the implications for Indian markets. Drawing on over three decades of experience, Naren offers valuable perspectives on investment strategy, asset allocation, and whether India can outperform amid global volatility.You can follow our host Nishanth Vasudevan on his social media: Linkedin & Twitter Check out other interesting episodes from the host like: Corner Office Conversation with Maersk’s Keith Svendsen and Chris Cook, Tata, Airtel’s DTH merger: Will 2 Negatives make a Positive?, Tesla Tug-of-War: Maha, AP woo Elon Musk, and more!

Once seen as the promising power duo of India’s renewables and EV story, Gensol Engineering and BluSmart Mobility are now at the center of a high-stakes corporate unraveling. Gensol, a key lessor and vehicle supplier for BluSmart, is battling a severe liquidity crisis, with its stock crashing 65%, credit rating slashed to unprecedented lows, and allegations of financial mismanagement emerging. Now, in a desperate move, Gensol is trying to pare ties with BluSmart and sell 3,000 vehicles from its fleet. But this isn’t just about one company’s cash crunch. Host Anirban Chowdhury talks about a business model under stress, a web of related-party deals, and the larger implications for India’s EV ecosystem. Was BluSmart too dependent on Gensol to begin with? Did Gensol’s investors get the short end of the deal? And what does this turmoil mean for the future of EV ride-hailing and clean energy startups?Check out other interesting episodes from the host like: Corner Office Conversation with Maersk’s Keith Svendsen and Chris Cook, Tata, Airtel’s DTH merger: Will 2 Negatives make a Positive?, Tesla Tug-of-War: Maha, AP woo Elon Musk, and more!

Everyone's lives would be better if we were rid of spam calls and messages, but we don't live in that reality. So most people rely on caller-ID apps or services to save themselves from the ordeal. In September last year, Bharti Airtel launched a spam fighting network free of cost to all users who have a VoLTE-enabled smartphone.Airtel says its AI-powered systems come across a call or message that seems sketchy based on call patterns, frequency, duration and other parameters to flag them as ‘suspected scam'.But like any anti-spam service, it has been showing a few cracks—all of which have consequences for both businesses and customers.Legitimate calls from businesses are flagged as suspected spam by its system, while calls from similar businesses are not. The other troubling problem is that it's a one-way system where the customer can't do anything about it. They cannot opt out of the service either.If your network operator says it's a suspected spam call when there's a number flashing on your screen, are you going to pick it up?And then there are businesses like Truecaller, which built their business using the crowdsourcing model and built a two-sided business where they made money from both individuals and businesses trying to reach these individuals. Truecaller helped legitimate businesses which were being marked as spam be validated as verified businesses for a fee.Something in all of this feels broken. What should ideally be free and reliable to save all customers from being scammed is not fully reliable or free.What's at stake? Where are the solutions?In episode 31 of Two by Two, hosts Rohin Dharmakumar and Praveen Gopal Krishnan try to find the answers with our guests for the week—Parag Kar, former vice president of government affairs at Qualcomm India and Southeast Asia; Chaitanya Chokkareddy, co-founder and CTO of Ozonetel, a cloud-based communication platform providing call-centre solutions for businesses; and The Ken reporter Rounak Kumar Gunjan.– – –Additional reading -Truecaller beat Trai to the punch with spam-call fixAirtel finds the gap between Truecaller and Trai– – –Help us find interesting women guests by filling out this survey - https://theken.typeform.com/to/KH0EOLGo– – –What you listened to is just the first 30 minutes of the conversation.

The crisis at IndusInd Bank is escalating, with an accounting discrepancy in its derivatives portfolio leading to possible loss of Rs 1,500 crore, regulatory investigations, insider trading concerns, and leadership upheaval. As the RBI intervenes, critical questions arise about governance, compliance failures, and financial stability. How did this happen? Who knew? What does it mean for investors and the banking sector? And can IndusInd Bank rebuild trust? Host Anirban Chowdhury, along with Krishna Appala of Capital Mind, Reena Zachariah and Saloni Shukla of ET, unpacks the controversy, key players, and the road ahead for the bank.Check out other interesting episodes from the host like: Corner Office Conversation with Maersk’s Keith Svendsen and Chris Cook, Tata, Airtel’s DTH merger: Will 2 Negatives make a Positive?, Tesla Tug-of-War: Maha, AP woo Elon Musk, and more!

CEO Sameer Khetarpal promises tech upgrades every six months, integrating AI into store management. The company is also pushing for faster deliveries, with 70% already happening in under 20 minutes and a new guaranteed 20-minute service coming to India's top seven cities. However, dine-in sales remain sluggish as free delivery drives online orders. Meta's Project Waterworth: Building the World's Longest Undersea Cable Meta is advancing Project Waterworth, a 50,000-km undersea cable connecting India, the US, Brazil, South Africa, and more. The aim? Faster internet and AI-driven applications across platforms like Instagram, WhatsApp, and YouTube. Meta is in talks with Airtel, Jio, Tata Communications, and Lightstorm for landing the cable in India, navigating regulatory hurdles. With 95% of global data flowing through subsea cables, this move enhances India's digital backbone while reducing dependence on geopolitically sensitive routes like the Red Sea and South China Sea. Indegene Expands AI-Driven Pharma Solutions in the US & Europe Bangalore-based Indegene is capitalizing on AI in pharma commercialization and regulation, particularly in the US and Europe, where it derives 64% of its revenue. With US pharma firms under pricing pressure, CEO Manish Gupta sees a major opportunity: “Pricing and market access are critical, and our AI-driven solutions can help.” The company has launched Cortex, an AI-powered platform, and is expanding in Europe, with a London center, an Ireland acquisition, and a move into Spain. Since 2010, Indegene has grown from ₹33 crore to ₹2,500 crore and is poised for further scale. Global Investors Shift from US Stocks Amid Tariff Uncertainty Investors are pulling billions from US stocks, redirecting funds to Europe, Asia, and emerging markets due to concerns over US tariff policies. In March alone, European investors withdrew $2.37 billion from US equity ETFs. April 2, Trump's “Liberation Day” tariff plan, threatens new trade tensions, prompting 15 of the world's largest asset managers to reduce US exposure. Goldman Sachs & Barclays have already cut their S&P 500 forecasts for 2025. While some analysts argue US stocks remain attractive, foreign outflows may weaken market performance. Lollapalooza India Booms Despite Industry Challenges The third edition of Lollapalooza India attracted 60,000+ fans with Green Day, Shawn Mendes, and others. While ticket sales hit records, India's live entertainment infrastructure remains weak, lacking dedicated concert venues. “We have to build everything from the ground up,” says Anil Makhija, COO of BookMyShow Live. Diljit Dosanjh's criticism of India's concert ecosystem further highlights these issues. High taxes and ticket resale controversies (e.g., Coldplay's Mumbai show) also pose challenges. Despite this, India's live music market is growing fast, with global artists increasingly making India a tour stop. BookMyShow is pushing for policy changes, better infrastructure, and new festivals like Bandland. “Fans are ready. Artists are ready. Now, the ecosystem needs to catch up,” says Makhija.

A parliamentary committee report highlights a severe staff shortage at AIIMS, with over 2,500 vacancies across faculty and medical staff, severely impacting patient care. The report urges the health ministry to expedite recruitment by offering competitive compensation packages and streamlining the hiring process. Additionally, AIIMS’ ambitious master plan faces delays due to land acquisition and budgetary constraints, with concerns over underutilization of allocated funds. Host Anirban Chowdhury and Teena Thacker of ET are joined by a senior doctor and official at AIIMS to tell a story of delays, inadequacy, misuse of power and neglect.Check out other interesting episodes from the host like: Corner Office Conversation with Maersk’s Keith Svendsen and Chris Cook, Tata, Airtel’s DTH merger: Will 2 Negatives make a Positive?, Tesla Tug-of-War: Maha, AP woo Elon Musk, and more!

Is Manus the AI that will finally think like us, or just another digital dream?" The world's first general AI agent, created by a major disruptor, is forcing us to rethink what we expect from artificial intelligence. this AI agent isn't just another tool; it's a leap towards truly general AI. But with this kind of power, the question remains: are we ready for an AI that can think and adapt like a human? There's excitement, but also skepticism about what this means for the future of AI and its role in our lives. Starlink has entered the Indian market through partnerships with Airtel and Reliance Jio, and it's shaking things up. Though satellite internet can connect remote areas, the real concern is whether it will be affordable for the masses. With a hefty upfront cost for the hardware, the big question is if it can really reach the people who need it most—those in rural, underserved regions. Apple's new iPhone 16E has people talking. Marketed as a budget option, it's a tempting choice for those wanting to try out the iPhone experience without breaking the bank. But when you look at the price and what it offers—or doesn't offer—it raises the question: does this really live up to the “budget” label, or is it just another compromise for the Apple fanbase?

Elon Musk’s SpaceX has partnered with Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio to bring Starlink’s satellite communication services to India. This landmark collaboration between a global space-tech pioneer and India’s telecom giants could redefine connectivity, bridging gaps in areas with limited land-based infrastructure and bringing mobile connectivity to the 400 million people who are unconnected or under connected. But what led to this partnership between companies that were bickering over spectrum allocation weeks back? What makes this low-earth orbit satellite technology so revolutionary, and how might it transform India’s telecom sector? And will this tie up, which clearly has larger geopolitical implications, hasten regulatory nods for satcom in India? Host Anirban Chowdhury along with ET’s telecom expert Kalyan Parbat decodes it all. Tune in.

What does a trade deal with the US really mean for India? How can we strengthen our global trade position while keeping crucial partnerships in defense, technology, and space safe from political crossfire? In this candid conversation, host Anirban Chowdhury sits down with ET’s Pranab Dhal Samanta to break down the brewing US-India trade tensions sparked by Trump’s latest move on reciprocal tariffs.

Everyone's lives would be better if we were rid of spam calls and messages, but we don't live in that reality. So most people rely on caller-ID apps or services to save themselves from the ordeal. In September last year, Bharti Airtel launched a spam fighting network free of cost to all users who have a VoLTE-enabled smartphone.Airtel says its AI-powered systems come across a call or message that seems sketchy based on call patterns, frequency, duration and other parameters to flag them as ‘suspected scam'.But like any anti-spam service, it has been showing a few cracks—all of which have consequences for both businesses and customers.Legitimate calls from businesses are flagged as suspected spam by its system, while calls from similar businesses are not. The other troubling problem is that it's a one-way system where the customer can't do anything about it. They cannot opt out of the service either.If your network operator says it's a suspected spam call when there's a number flashing on your screen, are you going to pick it up?And then there are businesses like Truecaller, which built their business using the crowdsourcing model and built a two-sided business where they made money from both individuals and businesses trying to reach these individuals. Truecaller helped legitimate businesses which were being marked as spam be validated as verified businesses for a fee.Something in all of this feels broken. What should ideally be free and reliable to save all customers from being scammed is not fully reliable or free.What's at stake? Where are the solutions?In episode 31 of Two by Two, hosts Rohin Dharmakumar and Praveen Gopal Krishnan try to find the answers with our guests for the week—Parag Kar, former vice president of government affairs at Qualcomm India and Southeast Asia; Chaitanya Chokkareddy, co-founder and CTO of Ozonetel, a cloud-based communication platform providing call-centre solutions for businesses; and The Ken reporter Rounak Kumar Gunjan.– – –Additional reading -Truecaller beat Trai to the punch with spam-call fixAirtel finds the gap between Truecaller and Trai– – –Help us find interesting women guests by filling out this survey - https://theken.typeform.com/to/KH0EOLGo– – –This is a free 10-minute trailer streaming on all podcast streaming platforms.

L'État guinéen a pris le contrôle de l'opérateur téléphonique Areeba Guinée, jusque-là détenu par le groupe sud-africain MTN. Au-delà de l'affirmation d'une souveraineté de la Guinée sur son secteur des télécommunications, le défi sera de relancer un opérateur qui a pris beaucoup de retard dans la modernisation de ses infrastructures. En Guinée, les autorités de Conakry ont pris le contrôle de l'opérateur MTN, 21% du marché des télécom du pays, sans avoir à racheter cette filiale du groupe sud-africain, mais en effaçant sa dette. « Quand un opérateur ne paie pas ses licences et ses fréquences, soit on lui retire ses licences et ses fréquences, soit il doit acquitter cette somme, souligne Stéphane Lelux, ingénieur réseau et président du groupe de conseil Tactis. MTM avait accumulé une dette de plus de 100 millions de dollars, qui a été convertie en titres, par le transfert de la dette en capital pour l'État guinéen. »Ambitions de souverainetéPar cette quasi-nationalisation de MTN Guinée, les autorités de Conakry espèrent concrétiser leurs ambitions de souveraineté, déjà affichées dans le secteur aérien, et rééquilibrer un marché des télécom largement dominé par Orange Guinée, co-détenu par Orange et Sonatel.« L'ambition du président était de relancer un certain nombre de sociétés emblématiques pour les Guinéens, et Guinée Télécom en fait partie, explique le porte-parole du gouvernement, Ousmane Gaoual Diallo. Il s'agit de regrouper, dans une entité étatique, la gestion des infrastructures pour avoir un socle technologique commun, et un opérateur mobile qui vienne un peu redistribuer les cartes, dans lesquelles un seul opérateur, aujourd'hui, s'est adjugé plus de 80 % du marché. »100 millions de dollars nécessairesGuinée Télécom et MTN pourraient donc fusionner. Mais il faudra des compétences et rattraper un retard important dans les investissements. « Aujourd'hui, il y a moins de 1 000 tours qui appartiennent à MTN, dont un peu moins de 800 sont opérationnelles, remarque Stéphane Lelux. Orange en a 2 700 ! Aujourd'hui, pour créer un opérateur d'ambition nationale face à Orange, la seule option, c'est d'investir dans au moins 1 000 à 1 500 tours nouvelles. Ensuite, il va falloir investir aussi dans une nouvelle génération de réseau, puisqu'il faudrait passer de la 4G à la 5G. On parle au minimum de 100 millions de dollars. »Deux options sont possibles selon l'expert : le financement par un nouveau partenaire du secteur – Maroc Telecom, Axian ou Airtel –, mais qui exigerait probablement la majorité des parts dans Guinée Telecom, ce que ne souhaitent pas les autorités de Conakry ; ou un partenaire financier pur, plus un partenaire technique en simple contrat de service, la solution de long terme choisie au Bénin par la SBIN, la Société béninoise d'infrastructures numériques.À lire aussiL'entreprise de télécom Orange française affiche ses bons résultats financiers en Afrique

In this episode, Monika presents an intriguing blend of insights and answers to listener questions. First, she explores how several non-US countries are seeking alternatives to the dollar-based global payment system, particularly regarding cryptocurrency. She clarifies that this discussion isn't an investment recommendation but highlights its implications for the future of global transactions. Next, Monika dives into a micro event: Airtel's new app-based fixed deposit service that launched on September 1, 2024. This innovation aims to simplify FD investments by allowing users to choose deposits from various banks through an easy-to-use dashboard. She also shares some risks, especially regarding higher interest rates from smaller banks. Finally, Monika addresses three listener questions: one asks whether to pay off a home loan given the changing tax landscape; another inquires about the potential benefits of smart beta funds compared to traditional index ETFs; and the last expresses frustration over unequal investment allocations between spouses, seeking advice on how to handle this with their financial advisor.
