For nearly a decade, Swiggy and Zomato have fed our hunger and dominated prime real estate on our phone screens, leaving very little room for any serious challengers.Most who tried to break in got their fingers burnt before they even got started. But now, a new player has decided to throw its hat into the ring.  This is a player that has some experience taking on titans, though the last time around it was in a completely different space. Rapido – the Bangalore-based startup that quietly muscled its way into India's ride-hailing market  – is all set to launch its own a food delivery platform called 'Ownly'. Sure, Rapido's mission of zero commission, equal pricing in offline and online, and meals as low as ₹150 looks compelling,but the real question is: how will Rapido make money? Tune in.

Dinesh Shivanna (CTO) and Vivek Krishnan (CEO) lead SSS Defence, a Bangalore-based private defence company that's part of the SSS Group. They're one of the first Indian firms to design and build sniper and assault rifles from scratch, aiming to cut down India's dependence on imported weapons.Focused on the needs of the Indian armed forces and law enforcement, SSS Defence is developing next-gen small arms, optics, and tactical gear tailored for real-world Indian conditions. In this episode, Vinamre and panel talk about:- Why India needs to build its own weapons—and why our armed forces still hesitate to adopt them.-How weapon design actually works, from making them look good to figuring out spare parts when there are none.-The risks India faces in a real war—being cut off, China's moves in Djibouti, and even silent threats from Germany.-What's really going on between public and private arms makers, global partnerships, and whether India can stand on its own.-Wild stories from war-like situations, the rise of drone warfare, and what it takes to run a defence company in India.A no-nonsense breakdown of India's defence manufacturing and why building our own weapons matters more than ever.

On this week's episode of Grumpy Old Geeks, we kick things off with the glorious meltdown of two of our least favorite Bond villains: Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Not only is their public pissing match tanking Tesla's market cap, but now Trump's launching a crypto wallet to… fund freedom? Or at least funnel it straight to his latest shell game. Meanwhile, someone at DOGE admitted the U.S. government wasn't entirely incompetent, so naturally, they got fired. Efficiency is un-American, after all.In the news, Ukraine leveled up with an unprecedented drone blitz on Russian airbases using—you guessed it—open source software. GitHub just became a geopolitical weapon. Back home, Nebraska wants to unplug your kids, Florida's trying (and failing) to legislate dopamine, and Tesla's panicking that their crash data might expose how their “Full Self-Driving” is really just short bus autopilot. And because the AI dystopia train never stops: OpenAI's bot is recommending meth to recovering addicts, Meta's replacing humans with risk-assessing algorithms, and one “AI startup” turned out to be 700 dudes in Bangalore with a decent VPN. Cue the dramatic zoom on Diabolus Ex Machina.Media Candy this week is a buffet: Downton Abbey finally closes up shop, Stranger Things 5 sets a date, and Foundation still sucks. Marc Maron's locking the gates for good, Garbage drops a surprisingly optimistic album, and Hollywood's quietly been using AI like it's a studio intern who doesn't need sleep. Over in The Library, Jason's back with Hitchhiker's Guide and Brian dives in to Michael Palin's Python diaries—because reading actual books is still a thing, damn it. Plus: Dave Bittner wants to “go antiquing” with Amy Sedaris with a Ben Franklin playbook. Closing shout-outs go to the legendary Loretta Swit—Hot Lips forever—and yes, we finally answer the question nobody asked: what is under a Jawa's hood?Sponsors:Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

On this week's Stumped with Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell & Charu Sharma, the team ask whether Virat Kohli has finally completed cricket after getting his hands on the trophy that has eluded him throughout his stellar white ball career.He won the Indian Premier League with Royal Challengers Bengaluru after 18 years and over 260 matches, having first been drafted by them back in 2008, and he's been loyal to them too - the only player to have played for just one team in all 18 IPL seasons.The team also reflect on the sad scenes in Bangalore, after eleven people died and dozens were injured in a crush as fans flocked to the Chinnaswamy stadium at an event to welcome the team back home to Bangalore. Plus, we hear from South Africa Test captain Temba Bavuma ahead of the World Test Championship final. Bavuma tells us that Kagiso Rabada has apologised to his teammates and that they're supporting him as much as they can following his recent one month ban from cricket after he tested positive for use of a recreational drug.Photo: Virat Kohli of Royal Challengers Bengaluru lifts the IPL trophy alongside teammates following the team's victory in the 2025 IPL Final match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings at Narendra Modi Stadium on June 03, 2025, in Ahmedabad, India.

“It's time to rethink the idea that architecture does not sully itself with social or ecological ills.”Jonathan Feldman (in conversation w/ KI)The practice of architecture is a place where ethics and aesthetics converge. We make decisions and lead our lives based on ethics. As such ethics is concerned with what is good for individuals and society. Aesthetics is a set of principles that are involved with the nature and appreciation of beauty - the aspect of an object that makes it pleasurable to perceive. Join us in this interview with two thought leaders whose work locates them at the convergence of ethics and aesthetics. As a Founder and a Principal at Feldman Architecture, Jonathan and Anjali care about the craft of architecture and recognize the importance of the role power of architecture in society. This shows up in their design work on projects as well as how they design firm culture and practice. Being “thought leaders” is no walk in the park, it puts you in situations where you feel lonely, overwhelmed and disheartened at times, it asks you to take a stand. As you'll hear in this interview, moving the industry forward with design thinking that includes carbon accounting, human health, and regenerative practices starts with a willingness to be humble and recognize that risk and reward are often two sides of the same coin.Anjali IyerAnjali, LFA, CPHD, LEED AP, hails from Mumbai, India, where she obtained her Bachelor of Architecture from the Sir J.J. College of Architecture. Prior to joining Feldman in 2014, Anjali developed skills in domain-specific technologies while exploring the possibilities for a paperless office and accrued over thirteen years of experience in the design and detailing of high-end custom residential work. As an associate architect at a small firm with a deep focus on details, Anjali offered her expertise in both architecture and interior design for small to medium scale projects first in Bangalore, India and then from Prague, Czech Republic. After she moved to the Bay Area, Anjali worked as a consultant and assistant principal architect at a small design studio specializing in residential projects.Jonathan FeldmanJonathan, FAIA, LEED AP, is Feldman Architecture's Founding Partner and CEO. Since establishing the firm in 2003, he has led its development into a residential and commercial design practice recognized for creating warm, light-filled spaces with an understated modern aesthetic. Jonathan is passionate about design that solves complex problems and is committed to creating solutions that significantly improve the way we live and interact with our planet.Initially interested in filmmaking, Jonathan moved to California in the 1990s, where he worked on feature films and commercials.TeamHosted by Kristof IrwinEdited by Nico MignardiProduced by M.

Tickets are $55, and a few seats are still available.The whiskey revolution isn't happening in distilleries—it's happening in Facebook groups, local meetups, and exclusive clubs around the world. As bourbon's popularity has exploded, the communities surrounding it have become the true catalyst for its unprecedented growth and cultural significance.Across the globe, from Cincinnati to Bangalore, whiskey enthusiasts are forming tight-knit communities centered around their shared passion. Some exist purely in the digital realm, with thousands of members exchanging knowledge and experiences online. Others maintain strong local identities with regular tastings, educational events, and charitable fundraisers. The most exclusive clubs offer members rare bottles, private lockers, and even opportunities to participate in the distillation process.What makes these whiskey communities truly special is their remarkable openness and accessibility. Unlike many hobby groups plagued by gatekeeping, bourbon enthusiasts have cultivated a welcoming culture where newcomers find mentors, friendships form quickly, and experiences are shared generously.

The people are fantastic."The impact of these communities extends beyond social connections—they're transforming how whiskey is produced, marketed, and consumed. Many groups coordinate barrel picks, giving members access to unique expressions and providing valuable feedback to distilleries.

As someone from Bangalore, I've been a bit bothered by how much flak we get, especially about traffic. So I set out to see if the criticism is fair, and what's actually being done about it.In this episode, I spend the day with two of Bengaluru's top police officers — B. Dayananda, IPS (Commissioner of Police) and M.N. Anucheth, IPS (Joint Commissioner of Police, Traffic) — to understand what's really happening in the city.We get to know how the police are using AI and other technology to manage traffic more effectively, and what's the future of urban transport. But this episode isn't just about traffic. We delve into the reality of being a police officer, how they're portrayed in movies, and the push-pull between politics and policing.

Eyestem, a 14-member biotech startup from Bengaluru is turning heads in global pharma circles. With just $10 million and a modest 1,200 sq ft office, it has developed a promising cell therapy for dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD)—a condition that leads to blindness and has no cure. Early trial results are not only encouraging, they're outperforming billion-dollar competitors in the West.But this isn't just about scientific innovation. It's about doing more with less. Eyestem's founders set out with a bold goal: to build a cutting-edge treatment that's actually affordable, especially for Indian patients. Think world-class therapy in under $10,000. In the current world of cell and gene therapies, where treatments often cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and remain out of reach for most, it is next to impossible.How did Eyestem achieve this and what does this means for the future of biotech in India?Tune in.If you have any thoughts or questions about this episode, send them to us as texts or voice notes on Daybreak's WhatsApp at +918971108379. Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

Real Life: Devon would like to make one thing clear: queso is fine. Queso is acceptable. Just… not on everything, okay? Some of us still want to taste the actual food under the goo. That said, he did just survive a kid's pool party, so maybe he's earned the right to eat whatever the hell he wants — even fake grass, which he claims is "for winners." We're choosing not to dig into that statement. Steven, meanwhile, embraced the full Force of May 4th with joy, lightsabers, and an animated binge of Tales of the Empire — now fully released and featuring everyone's favorite dead-or-maybe-not-dead villainess Asaaj Ventress and the cowboy space bug bounty hunter Cad Bane. Is she still canonically dead? Who knows anymore. The rule is: if you didn't see the body dissolve, they can always come back. Also, Steven's forge is officially up and running. That's right — he's now a blacksmith. We're still waiting to see if this is a long-term thing or just a midlife crisis in steel-toed boots. Over in The Last of Us land, Season 2 Episode 4 dropped, and fans collectively screamed, cried, and probably tweeted GIFs because one of the game's most beloved scenes finally made it to screen — and yes, they nailed it. In a good way. Not like a fungal-mutant-jaw-through-your-neck way. Ben went to a roller derby bout in Irvine (report: chaotic and excellent), wandered the capitalist labyrinth that is Daiso, and wants to remind you it's Teacher Appreciation Week. So tell a teacher they rock, preferably with coffee, snacks, or a handwritten note of pure gratitude. Future or Now Ben brought us Writing Tools, a sleek, free, open-source app created by a high school student in Bangalore (hi, Jesai!) that gives Mac, Windows, and Linux users a system-wide writing boost via AI. It fixes grammar, summarizes content, and even helps you rewrite your angsty emails into something that won't get you fired. Bonus points for working offline and being featured basically everywhere. Teachers, students, chaotic creatives — check it out on GitHub. This also led us down the rabbit hole: Are LLMs bad? Short answer: not inherently. Long answer: come back next week for a full debate, complete with Devon's skeptical eyebrows and Ben's tech optimism. Devon watched Mickey 17, and the verdict is… “eh?” He appreciated the weirdness but didn't feel like the weird ever came together in a satisfying way. Unlike Parasite, which he still recommends, Mickey 17 left him shrugging with existential confusion, which is not his preferred flavor of sci-fi. Steven hit us with some mouse science: researchers have engineered gut bacteria that can detoxify methylmercury in mice, even when those mice are on a diet of bluefin tuna. The mice — and their babies — showed fewer signs of mercury poisoning. This means your sushi habit may one day come with a side of helpful microbes. Until then, maybe cool it on the sashimi. Book Club:  This week, we read A Brief Dance to the Music of the Spheres by Michael Kurland (from The Best of Omni Science Fiction, 1983). It's a sleek, sharp short story that offers a fresh take on the Fermi Paradox: if there's intelligent life out there, why haven't we seen it? The story gives us a possible answer — one we won't spoil here, except to say it involves jazz, physics, and a little cosmic humility. You can read it on Archive.org or listen to the adaptation here. Next week: we're diving into Jorge Luis Borges' There Are More Things. Yes, it's a Borges horror story. Yes, we're terrified and delighted. Yes, Devon has thoughts. Got thoughts on queso, metal mice, or fictional villains who refuse to stay dead? Hit us up. And thank a teacher. Seriously. They've seen some things.

Four months ago, food delivery giant Zomato decided to run an experiment. If you are a regular patron of the app, you may have noticed a tab called ‘Quick' appear, that promised 15-minute deliveries in a bunch of metropolitan cities like Bangalore, Mumbai and Delhi NCR. Now, the company's founder and CEO made an interesting statement last year that explains why it would choose to try out this experiment. He was asked a question about how quick commerce has changed customer expectations around food delivery. And he said, quite simply – “Blinkit is fast, but that has made Zomato seem slow.” He has a point. You may recall that Zomato subsidiary Blinkit launched its in-house 10-minute snack delivery service called Bistro last year, just one day after the very popular Zepto cafe was launched. Swiggy Instamart meanwhile, launched a similar service called Snacc. In many ways, 2024 was the year 10-minute food delivery became the next frontier of quick commerce.Naturally, the biggest food delivery giants in the country did not want to be left behind. So while Zomato launched Quick, Swiggy rolled out its own ultra-fast delivery service, Bolt. But here's where things get interesting. While announcing its Q4 results last week, Zomato announced that its four-month experiment was very quickly coming to an end. In a letter to shareholders, Deepinder Goyal explained that they just could not see a path to profitability without compromising on customer experience.The Ken's COO and the host of Two by Two Praveen Gopal Krishnan explains what changed. Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

Ravi Pratap Maddimsetty lives in Bangalore with his family. Early on, he joined startups where his friends worked, in order to get to know the landscape of how they functioned. He fell in love with the tech, team and early innings of building a business - so much so, that he eventually started his own. He has been an entrepreneur for 15 years - or in the woods, as he says. But outside of tech, he's married with 2 girls. He loves spending time with his family, playing tennis, being outdoors or skiing.Ten years ago, Ravi was riding the wave of smartphones, tinkering with numerous technological solutions to connect users to their world via their smartphone. After moving through beacons, NFC, GPS and others - they started to think about how they could use the camera, which was on every device, to read QR codes.This is the creation story of Uniqode.SponsorsMailtrapSpeakeasyQA WolfSnapTradeLinkshttps://www.uniqode.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/ravipratapm/Our Sponsors:* Check out Vanta: https://vanta.com/CODESTORY* Check out Vanta: https://vanta.com/CODESTORYSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Fifty years ago, a modest satellite named Aryabhata marked India's bold entry into space. In this episode of All Things Policy, ShreeKeerthi, Research Analyst and Prof. Dr. Y Nithiyanadam of the Geospatial Programme at Takshashila Institution, trace Aryabhata's journey from its creation in Bangalore to its launch from the Soviet Union during the geopolitics of the 1970s. They examine the scientific hopes it inspired and the lasting legacy it created for subsequent missions like INSAT, IRS, Chandrayaan, and Mangalyaan.On the 50th Anniversary of Aryabhata's launch, they talk about the fascinating stories behind its name, explore the Indo-Soviet collaboration in space, reflect on how this single mission transformed Bangalore into the hub of India's space ambitions of Aryabhata, the future of Indian space innovation, and the lessons that continue to be relevant today, at the centre of India's space aspirations.The PGP is a comprehensive 48-week hybrid programme tailored for those aiming to delve deep into the theoretical and practical aspects of public policy.

As Chancellor Rachel Reeves treads a delicate path in Washington, Britain finds itself caught between diplomacy and hard economics — will tariff relief be enough to steady the ship? Meanwhile, Apple's dramatic pivot to India signals just how deeply Trump's sweeping trade war is reshaping global business. Could a world less reliant on Beijing ultimately emerge stronger — or simply more fragmented? And with the IMF slashing global growth forecasts, are we witnessing the first signs of a smaller, slower, more isolated future? CapX's deputy editor Joseph Dinnage is joined by James Boys from UCL and commentator Matthew Stadlen to map the risks, the opportunities, and the new world order taking shape. Hosted on Acast.

Send us a textMeet Bangalore's self-appointed "Footpath Mayor," Arun Pai, whose two-decade journey from tour guide to urban mobility advocate offers a masterclass in civic problem-solving. What began as walking tours for tourists evolved into a passionate mission to transform how residents experience their city on foot.When taking international dignitaries on walks through Bangalore's neighborhoods, Pai noticed a troubling pattern - nobody seemed responsible for the city's footpaths. Traffic police managed vehicles, tourism officials promoted the city, but pedestrian infrastructure fell through the bureaucratic cracks. Rather than just complaining, he decided to take action in the most straightforward way possible: by walking.The Bangalore Footpath Challenge emerged as his innovative solution - rating 100 kilometers of footpaths on a simple five-point scale, similar to how restaurant apps rate dining experiences. This data-driven approach caught attention from government officials and urban planners who recognized the value of objective measurement in addressing infrastructure gaps. Pai cleverly created memorable frameworks like GST (Garbage, Shops, Trenches) and OFF (Obstacle-Free Footpaths) to categorize and tackle common obstacles.What truly transformed this initiative into a movement was its inclusive, participatory nature. When Pai organized 15 themed walks across Bangalore, inviting citizens to join him for free 10,000-step journeys, over 1,500 people registered within days. These walks became opportunities for elected representatives, government engineers, and everyday citizens to experience the city's pedestrian infrastructure together, fostering collaboration rather than confrontation.The results speak volumes: people discovering walkable routes they never knew existed, behavior changes as participants began incorporating walking into daily routines, and even international media attention highlighting Bangalore's potential as "Walkaluru" - a walkable city with universal pedestrian infrastructure.

In this fifth episode of the Cultural Intelligence series, Julia Middleton pauses to answer the questions you've been sending in. After four episodes unpacking the Core and Flex model and exploring what happens when cultures collide, both between people and within individuals, this episode dives into real-world dilemmas, confusions, and curiosities. “Almost everybody you meet will have a different culture from you,” says Julia. “CQ is about interfacing with cultures that aren't your own. Way beyond just race.” Julia responds to questions such as: • Does your Core ever change? • Can organisations have Core and Flex? • Do you always have to stand up for cultural intolerance? • How do you find your knots, your biases, and what do you do about them? She shares personal stories. Choosing whether or not to cover up in Jeddah. Picking a sari for her son's wedding in Bangalore. Moments that show how her own Core and Flex have evolved. Listen to this episode to reflect on your own Core and Flex, learn why self-awareness is key to leading across cultures and discover how CQ is not about perfection, it is about staying curious, courageous, and committed to growing.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, I, Stewart Alsop, sit down with Naman Mishra, CTO of Repello AI, to unpack the real-world security risks behind deploying large language models. We talk about layered vulnerabilities—from the model, infrastructure, and application layers—to attack vectors like prompt injection, indirect prompt injection through agents, and even how a simple email summarizer could be exploited to trigger a reverse shell. Naman shares stories like the accidental leak of a Windows activation key via an LLM and explains why red teaming isn't just a checkbox, but a continuous mindset. If you want to learn more about his work, check out Repello's website at repello.ai.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 - Stewart Alsop introduces Naman Mishra, CTO of Repel AI. They frame the episode around AI security, contrasting prompt injection risks with traditional cybersecurity in ML apps.05:00 - Naman explains the layered security model: model, infrastructure, and application layers. He distinguishes safety (bias, hallucination) from security (unauthorized access, data leaks).10:00 - Focus on the application layer, especially in finance, healthcare, and legal. Naman shares how ChatGPT leaked a Windows activation key and stresses data minimization and security-by-design.15:00 - They discuss red teaming, how Repel AI simulates attacks, and Anthropic's HackerOne challenge. Naman shares how adversarial testing strengthens LLM guardrails.20:00 - Conversation shifts to AI agents and autonomy. Naman explains indirect prompt injection via email or calendar, leading to real exploits like reverse shells—all triggered by summarizing an email.25:00 - Stewart compares the Internet to a castle without doors. Naman explains the cat-and-mouse game of security—attackers need one flaw; defenders must lock every door. LLM insecurity lowers the barrier for attackers.30:00 - They explore input/output filtering, role-based access control, and clean fine-tuning. Naman admits most guardrails can be broken and only block low-hanging fruit.35:00 - They cover denial-of-wallet attacks—LLMs exploited to run up massive token costs. Naman critiques DeepSeek's weak alignment and state bias, noting training data risks.40:00 - Naman breaks down India's AI scene: Bangalore as a hub, US-India GTM, and the debate between sovereignty vs. pragmatism. He leans toward India building foundational models.45:00 - Closing thoughts on India's AI future. Naman mentions Sarvam AI, Krutrim, and Paris Chopra's Loss Funk. He urges devs to red team before shipping—"close the doors before enemies walk in."Key InsightsAI security requires a layered approach. Naman emphasizes that GenAI applications have vulnerabilities across three primary layers: the model layer, infrastructure layer, and application layer. It's not enough to patch up just one—true security-by-design means thinking holistically about how these layers interact and where they can be exploited.Prompt injection is more dangerous than it sounds. Direct prompt injection is already risky, but indirect prompt injection—where an attacker hides malicious instructions in content that the model will process later, like an email or webpage—poses an even more insidious threat. Naman compares it to smuggling weapons past the castle gates by hiding them in the food.Red teaming should be continuous, not a one-off. One of the critical mistakes teams make is treating red teaming like a compliance checkbox. Naman argues that red teaming should be embedded into the development lifecycle, constantly testing edge cases and probing for failure modes, especially as models evolve or interact with new data sources.LLMs can unintentionally leak sensitive data. In one real-world case, a language model fine-tuned on internal documentation ended up leaking a Windows activation key when asked a completely unrelated question. This illustrates how even seemingly benign outputs can compromise system integrity when training data isn't properly scoped or sanitized.Denial-of-wallet is an emerging threat vector. Unlike traditional denial-of-service attacks, LLMs are vulnerable to economic attacks where a bad actor can force the system to perform expensive computations, draining API credits or infrastructure budgets. This kind of vulnerability is particularly dangerous in scalable GenAI deployments with limited cost monitoring.Agents amplify security risks. While autonomous agents offer exciting capabilities, they also open the door to complex, compounded vulnerabilities. When agents start reading web content or calling tools on their own, indirect prompt injection can escalate into real-world consequences—like issuing financial transactions or triggering scripts—without human review.The Indian AI ecosystem needs to balance speed with sovereignty. Naman reflects on the Indian and global context, warning against simply importing models and infrastructure from abroad without understanding the security implications. There's a need for sovereign control over critical layers of AI systems—not just for innovation's sake, but for national resilience in an increasingly AI-mediated world.

Our Chief Asia Economist Chetan Ahya discusses the early indications of India's economic recovery and why the country looks best-positioned in the region for growth.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Chetan Ahya, Morgan Stanley's Chief Asia Economist. Today I'll be taking a look at the Indian economy amidst escalating trade tensions in Asia and around the globe. It's Thursday, March 13, at 2pm in Hong Kong.Over the last few months, investors have been skeptical about India's growth narrative. Investors – like us – have been caught off-guard by the surprising recent slowdown in India's growth. With the benefit of hindsight, we can very clearly attribute the slowdown to an unexpected double tightening of fiscal and monetary policy. But India seems to be on its way to recovery. Green shoots are already emerging in recent data. And we believe the recovery will continue to firm up over the coming months. What makes us so confident in our outlook for India? We see several key factors behind this trend: First, fiscal policy's turning supportive for growth again. The government has been ramping up capital expenditure for infrastructure projects like roads and railways, with growth accelerating markedly in recent months. They have also cut income tax for households which will be effective from April 2025. Second, monetary policy easing across rates, liquidity, and the regulatory front. With CPI inflation recently printing at just 3.6 per cent which is below target, we believe the central bank will continue to pursue easy monetary policy. And third, moderation in food inflation will mean real household incomes will be lifted. Finally, the strength in services exports. Services exports include IT services, and increasingly business services. In fact, post-COVID India's had very strong growth in business services exports. And the key reason for that is, post-COVID, I think businesses have come to realize that if you can work from home, you can work from Bangalore. India's services exports have nearly doubled since December 2020, outpacing the 40 per cent rise in goods exports over the same period. This has resulted in services exports reaching $410 billion on an annualized basis in January, almost equal to the $430 billion of goods exports. Moreover, India continues to gain market share in services exports, which now account for 4.5 per cent of the global total, up from 4 per cent in 2020. To be sure there are some risks. India does face reciprocal tariff risks due to its large trade surplus with the US and high tariff rates that India imposes select imports from the U.S. But we believe that by September-October this year, India can reach a trade deal with the U.S. In any case, India's goods exports-to-GDP ratio is the lowest in the region. And even if global trade slows down due to tariff uncertainties, India's economy won't be as severely affected. In fact, it could potentially outperform the other economies in the region.Thanks for listening. If you enjoy the show, please leave us a review wherever you listen and share Thoughts on the Market with a friend or colleague today.

Chasing happiness can feel like running on a treadmill—always moving but never quite arriving. It's easy to believe that the next achievement, purchase, or milestone will bring lasting fulfillment, only to find the feeling fades just as quickly. True contentment isn't found in the chase but in learning to appreciate the present, align with what truly matters, and let go of the idea that happiness is something to be earned. When the focus shifts from seeking to simply being, fulfillment often follows naturally. Shekhar Mayanil is a neuroscientist, educator, and author specializing in human consciousness and emotional well-being. As a researcher and lecturer at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences in Bangalore, he explores the connections between neuroscience, gratitude, and transformation. His best-selling book, The Gravity of Gratitude: Yogic Neuroscience Understanding of Gratitude, presents a unique approach to mental health and growth.
