In Today's Tech3 from Moneycontrol, Apple braces for a $1.1B tariff hit as Trump turns up the heat, even as iPhone sales surge. Rural fintech SarvaGram reports strong income growth but shrinking profits. Swiggy Instamart CEO says the quick commerce fight is far from over, with rivals expanding fast. And Delhivery kicks off FY26 with a 67% profit jump.

Delhivery, the logistics company, started out in Delhi. It even has Delhi in its name, literally.Yet, a few weeks ago, I flew to Goa to meet its co-founder and CEO, Sahil Barua, because that's where Delhivery's headquarters is now.It was a day trip. I took an early morning flight. Spent a few hours at a quaint cafe where I was the only guest. Then, I walked 15 minutes through still back alleys filled with cashewnut and mango trees before ending up on a dusty highway, dodging traffic next to an under-construction flyover.By the time I got to the studio where I was meeting Sahil, my adventure quota for the day was almost over. I loved it.This was the first time I was meeting Sahil. We'd only exchanged emails with each other. He's tall, lean and bearded. There's a certain air of seriousness, for want of a better word, to him. A professorial sort. I steeled myself, expecting our conversation to be a bit stiff. But Sahil completely surprised me.Because he felt completely at ease diving into answers, explanations and reflections without much hesitation. It wasn't impulsiveness, but an ease with his own thoughts and actions, which did not require polishing or editing before being shared.It was something that kept coming up time and again in my conversation with him. From joining consulting firm Bain right around the time they had set up shop in India to signing up for a triathlon without much regard for what the challenge holds, to moving Delhivery to, well, Goa.But at Delhivery, as it has become a giant in the e-commerce and logistics business, he tells one thing to his employees—do not move fast and break things.Delhivery might not be a sexy business from the outset, but the systems they have built and continue to build, as Sahil explains, position it as a company that is always innovating and iterating in a business which has largely remained the same for decades. And as Sahil repeated in different ways, the biggest effort they have taken is building the most effective network out there.Sahil tracks Delhivery's journey, how he and his co-founders built a logistics network in the image of a telecom network, and how he has grown to be a better, calmer founder over the years.I talked to Sahil Barua, co-founder and CEO of Delhivery, about that and a lot more during the course of our conversation.This is part 2 of my conversation with Sahil Barua.Welcome to First Principles.-If you're a Premium subscriber to The Ken, you can listen to the full episode, along with all our other podcasts, exclusively on our apps now.

Earlier this month, India's largest third party logistics company, Delhivery, acquired its biggest rival Ecom Express in a $165 million distress sale. The acquisition could not have come at a better time for both parties. Things have been tough for Ecom for some time now. The company, in fact, called off its IPO plans just this February, about six months after filing the papers and ended up laying off hundreds of its employees. Meanwhile, Delhivery has been soldiering some tough times too.  By acquiring its floundering rival, Delhivery seems to be going all out to claw back some business. But is that enough? Tune in. Daybreak is looking for a talented audio journalist with at least two years of experience. Check out the role here.

For a while now, some of the biggest players in India's third-party logistics industry have been riding on the success of e-commerce unicorn Meesho. As of 2023, it accounted for over half of the 2.5 billion shipments that were being handled by third-party logistics players. Companies like Delhivery and Ecom Express happily rose to the occasion and partnered with Meesho to handle all its order deliveries. For logistics companies this was a dream come true because most of the other major e-commerce players in India – like Flipkart and Amazon – take care of all their logistics in-house. But earlier this year, Meesho announced the launch of Valmo, its own in-house logistics arm. Naturally, third party logistics partners are nervous. But no one is more shaken up than Ecom Express.Tune in.**This episode was first published on September 2, 2024.P.S The Ken's podcast team is hiring!

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Friday, October 25, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started.Qatar's Nebras Power was supposed to acquire up to a 49 per cent stake in Aditya Birla Group's renewable energy business for about $400 million, but the deal has been put on hold due to a valuation mismatch. Utpal Bhaskar reports that challenges such as competitive returns and execution risks in the Indian market continue to be concerns for investors. The Aditya Birla Group company is still seeing interest from Alberta Investment Management and BlackRock's Global Infrastructure Partners.India's startups aren't complying with certain rules. The Central Consumer Protection Authority has issued notices to 11 e-commerce companies including Blinkit, Zepto, Swiggy and Meesho for violating declaration rules. These violations include failing to display product manufacturing and expiry dates, among other packaging and labelling norms. Soumya Gupta writes that the CCPA took this action after users complained about receiving perishable items close to or after their expiry dates.After a long and contentious battle, the Insurance Regulatory & Development Authority of India has approved the Burman family's proposed acquisition of Religare, reports Anirudh Laskar. This nod marks a significant step towards the Burmans' takeover of Religare. Only approvals from the banking and market regulators are now pending. Despite initial resistance from Religare's management, the Burman family, which owns Dabur India, aims to solidify its ownership through an open offer of more than 3,400 crore rupees.In a surprising turn of events, 60 out of 100 private equity and venture capital executives in India failed a mandatory exam set by the National Institute of Securities Management (NISM), under directives from SEBI. This exam, which is crucial for maintaining registration, has stirred concerns within the sector. Critics argue that the exam's content, which spans various fund types—venture capital, private equity and public markets—is disproportionately focused on public markets, and does not reflect the practical differences between these fund categories. Sneha Shah and Ranjani Raghavan report on the embarrassing situation India's PE and VC sector is staring at. Last year, Ecom Express found itself at a crossroads, searching for new leadership after the health-related departure of its co-founder and CEO, T.A. Krishnan. With growth stalling, the company turned to Ajay Chitkara, a veteran of the telecom industry, to inject new life into its operations. Chitkara, known for his successful stint at Airtel, took the reins at a tough time and now faces a daunting task: steering Ecom Express towards profitability and a successful IPO. The company has reduced its losses, but sustaining growth remains a challenge, especially with new players such as Valmo shaking up the logistics market. Mint's startups editor Ranjani Raghavan tackles the question of whether Ecom Express's IPO can succeed when Delhivery's stock has failed to deliver.  SUBJECT/Title: Why finance pros at PE, VC funds are flunking Sebi exam  Pre-head: IRDA approves Burmans' Religare takeover; CCPA issues notice to quick commerce startups Qatar's Nebras deal with Aditya Birla Group's green arm on holdWhy are e-tailers on notice for legal metrology?IRDA gives Burman family green signal for Religaree takeover  Can Ecom Express's IPO succeed when Delhivery's stock has failed to deliver?Why finance pros at PE, VC funds are flunking Sebi exam

He's spent 20 years in Delhi, where he set up his own startup and sold it to Paytm. He's now in Bengaluru, and he's not convinced that a city can affect a company's future…but he remembers the early building days of Delhi – a city with a get-thing-done attitude and massive “ops chops.”Our second guest is Arnav Gupta, the Director of Engineering at JioCinema. He has also founded and sold his own edtech startup, as well as led the engineering and product for the Zomato app. Arnav worked in Delhi before VCs pulled him to Bengaluru – and now that he's spent a few years here, he knows what sort of companies only Bengaluru can give birth to, and why. Joined by hosts Rohin Dharmakumar and Praveen Gopal Krishnan, our guests discuss the unique cultural context each city adds to a business, why it's causing a rivalry, and what this means for the Indian startups ecosystem, going forward.If you like the episode rate us on your favorite streaming platform.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are the top developments ahead of the trading session of August 2 -After three days of teasing the landmark, the Nifty finally scaled the mark of 25,000, thereby starting off August on a positive note. What generally follows an event like this is a sell-off from higher levels. Yesterday, there was some bit of resistance for the Nifty as well around the 25,100 mark owing to which it reversed from its latest record high of 25,078, but the fact that the index managed to hold on to 25,000 at close, will give the bulls a lot of comfort. -Stocks to watch: Tata Motors, Zomato and ITC, Godrej Agrovet, Kalyan Jewellers, Vaibhav Global, Infosys -Earnings: Dalmia Bharat, Delhivery, CAMS, Hindustan Zinc, UPL, PSP Projects, Titan, LIC Housing Finance -Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC Securities says even as the Nifty has crossed 25,000, the crucial hurdle between 25,000 - 25,100 remains intact. He anticipates further consolidation or a minor near-term dip. -In the US overnight, stocks sold off with the Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbling nearly 500 points, as investors' fears over a recession surfaced. The Dow dropped 1.2%. The S&P 500 shed 1.3% while the Nasdaq Composite  slipped more than 2%. -Some fresh data stoked fears over a possible recession and the notion that the Federal Reserve could be too late to start cutting interest rates. Initial jobless claims rose the most since August 2023. -This morning, Asian markets also fell after the Wall Street sell-off, with Japan's Nikkei 225 leading losses. Japan's benchmark indexes nosedived as much as 5% on Friday, with most Asia-Pacific markets lower after a sell-off on Wall Street overnight over recession worries. -Intel shares slid as much as 20% in extended trading overnight after the chipmaker said it would lay off over 15% of its employees as part of a $10 billion cost-reduction plan and reported lighter results than analysts had envisioned. -In commodities, oil headed for a fourth weekly drop as demand concerns in the world's two biggest economies overshadowed heightened geopolitical risk. Brent crude traded near $80 a barrel after dropping by 1.6%. -Ola Electric's over Rs 6000 cr IPO opens for subscription today. Its anchor book saw participation from marquee investors. -Gift Nifty was trading 0.18% lower than the Nifty futures' Thursday close, implying a lower start for the Indian market.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are all the important updates ahead of the trading session of July 11 -The Nifty 50 failed to see follow-through yesterday & broke a prior low. However, It's Too early to judge if we are in for a bit of a pullback. The Nifty witnessed its biggest single day fall in over a month, which is the Lok Sabha election result day of June 4. -Despite the drop, the market continued with its "buy-the-dip" trend. At one point, the Nifty even slipped below the mark of 24,150 but saw a recovery of nearly 200 points from those levels to close above the 24,300 mark. -Most index heavyweights, be it Reliance Industries, HDFC Bank or TCS were on the same losing end in Wednesday's trade, although the recovery in the index also came as the first two recovered from their respective session's low. -Today, TCS will remain in focus as it kickstarts the earnings season for the Nifty 50 companies, the reaction of which of course, will be seen on Friday. -Today is also the weekly options expiry of the Nifty 50 contracts and it remains to be seen whether the recovery made late on Wednesday is sustained or some expiry related volatility will lead to a retest of Wednesday's low, which also happens to be the lowest since July 1. -Both foreign and domestic investors continued to be net buyers in the cash market on Wednesday but that number could also be skewed due to the block deals seen in Delhivery and Mankind Pharma. -Experts like Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC Securities believe that the near-term uptrend of the Nifty remains intact but the market seems to have started to show signs of profit booking between 24,400 - 24,500 levels. -The GIFTNifty was trading with a premium of more than 40 points from Nifty Futures' Wednesday close, indicating a start in the green for Indian market. -Stocks to track: Glenmark Life, Kesoram Industries, Tata Elxsi, Sula Vineyards, Power Grid, SBI, Nykaa, Sona BLW Precision -Asian equities advanced after a rally in the world's largest tech stocks lifted global shares to new highs ahead of US inflation data due later Thursday. Equities in Japan, Australia and China rose, echoing the bullish pulse on Wall Street on Wednesday. -The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 each gained more than 1%, and a gauge of global equities also rose, all to records, spurred by the likes of Nvidia Corp. and Apple Inc. The S&P 500 has advanced in each of the past seven sessions, its longest winning streak since November. Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues

Welcome to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are all the important updates ahead of the trading session of July 10 -The bulls continue to charge ahead. Yesterday, the Nifty closed above 24,400 for the first time and so far the index has gone up 1200 points in a month. -Both FIIs and DIIs bouhth in the cash market yesterday. -Auto majors Maruti and Mahindra & Mahindra, along with ICICI Bank and ITC led the index to newer peaks. ITC gained for the fifth day in a row, and is attempting a retest of its previous highs after a few months of sideways price action. The Nifty Auto index was also the top sectoral performer of the day, ending at record levels. -The broader markets also moved in tandem with the benchmark indices but there were pockets that outperformed. Barring auto, PSU banks made a comeback after a few days of underperformance, while Pharma resumed its uptrend from the week gone by. IT and Metals had a dull day. -Summarising the current market mood, veteran investor Vijay Kedia had a warning. He believes that the right adjective to describe the current market scenario is a "stampede" and not "euphoria" as it has gone beyond the latter. He added that market regulator SEBI will take some steps to stop this "frenzy." -Emcure Pharma is set for listing today. -The market is sitting in anticipation of further cues from the IT earnings that begin this Thursday or July 11. -The focus remains on the globe as to how the US markets, having made new record highs almost every single day, react to Fed Chair Jerome Powell's testimony. -Asian markets were mixed this morning. Shares in Australia and Japan fell Wednesday while Chinese futures pointed to gains ahead of key economic data after fresh highs of US equities.

Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are likely to open in the red in the trading session of February 5 with a focus on stocks like Zee Entertainment, Paytm, Tata Motors and Delhivery among others.  India's GIFT Nifty was trading at 21,919 points as of 7:54 am IST, suggesting the NSE Nifty 50 will open near its February 2 close of 21,853.80. Last week, Nifty Bank outperformed the Nifty on a weekly basis for the first time in almost two months. It gained 2.5% last week compared to the Nifty 50's 2.3% gain. The last time this happened was in December 2023. However, overall the market sold off sharply. The Nifty 50 although it ended higher, it closed almost 300 points off the highest point of the day. The Nifty Bank, despite outperforming last week, was still the weaker among the two. Out of the last 11 sessions, the Nifty Bank closed above 46,000 only twice. The week starting February 5 is a data heavy week with quarterly earnings of Britannia, Bharti Airtel and Lupin, and RBI monetary policy.  This morning, Asian markets were lower after data showed US non-farm payrolls jumped more than expected in January, highlighting a resilient economy and weighing on hopes of an early Fed rate cut. Brent crude futures inched up 8 cents to $77.41 a barrel by 0131 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures were flat at $72.28 a barrel. Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues

Equities fought volatility and surged last week, as stocks danced to the tunes of global cues, domestic news flow and corporate earnings.  Among indices, financials lead from the front, while a steep cut in excise duty on fuel prices and capping of sugar exports, saw stocks from these sectors react negatively. Eventually, the BSE Sensex moved in a band of 1,500 points, and finally ended the week with 1 per cent gain. The NSE Nifty, on the other hand, was up 0.5 per cent, while the Bank Nifty surged nearly 4 per cent. However, despite last week's gains, the benchmark indices may end the current month on a negative note, marking their biggest declines in May since 2012. The BSE benchmark Sensex and the Nifty were down close to 4 per cent so far this month, primarily dragged down by the persistent FII selling.  Foreign investors have, now, been net sellers for eight straight months and have net sold stocks worth more than 52,000 crore rupees so far this month. According to VK Vijayakumar of Geojit Financial Services, FPI selling is showing mild signs of exhaustion. DII and retail buying together with overwhelming FPI selling along with short covering can trigger a near-term rally. High quality large-caps can stage a rally, says Vijayakumar, adding that leading banks are safe bets.  Against this backdrop, Business Standard's Avdhut Bagkar shares how the banking stock is placed on the charts. Going ahead, markets will look at Q1CY22 GDP number, slated to be announced on Tuesday, for fresh cues on the economic recovery. As per a Reuters poll of economists, India's economic recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic likely stumbled again in the first quarter of this year primarily due to Omicron-related restrictions and higher inflation. ‘Growth in Asia's third-largest economy was pencilled in at 4.0% for the January-March quarter from the same period a year ago, down from 5.4% in Q4 2021. If realised, that would be the slowest in a year and a third consecutive quarter of weaker growth'. Amid these triggers, technical charts suggest that the NSE Nifty managed to close above its 20-DMA for the first time since April 13, 2022. The Nifty may look to target the trendline resistance around 16,750 in the near term.  On the downside, the index can expect support around 16,200-level. As we draw curtains on the Q4 earnings season, stocks like Aurobindo Pharma, Delhivery, IRCTC, Jindal Steel and Sun Pharma could see some action ahead of earnings on Monday.

The introduction of a 15% export duty on most steel products, up from zero, and an increase in levies on iron ore and pellets to 45-50% propelled a sharp slump in metal stocks on Monday. Shares of Tata Steel, JSW Steel, Jindal Steel, SAIL and NMDC cracked up to 20% in intra-day trade.   Analysts have now turned pessimistic particularly on metal companies as the recent policy moves are set to undermine their operational performance from hereon.   According to Bhavesh Chauhan, Research Analyst, IDBI Capital, hike in export duty negative for the sector and 15% duty hike means lesser realisations from exports. Steel companies' exports range between 10-25% of sales, Chauhan says adding that margins, already under pressure, likely to shrink further. Downgrades will happen, evaluation awaited to see if there is any upside left.   Some brokerages have already initiated rating downgrades on leading steel stocks as the hike in export duties is expected to lead to a sharp correction in domestic steel prices.  CLSA, for instance, has reduced domestic steel price estimates by 8-10%. On the back of lower steel prices, the brokerage has cut the Ebitda estimate for steel companies by up to 24%. It sees no near-term upside catalysts for the sector, other than a stimulus in China. ICICI Securities, meanwhile, has highlighted the policy decision as extremely negative for the steel sector expecting a broad-based multiple de-rating for the industry. It has also lowered its ratings for most metal stocks.  The brokerage has broadly assessed a likely Rs 5,000-7,000/te of impact on EBITDA for integrated steel players, while for unintegrated steel equities like JSW Steel the impact can be Rs 5,000/te. “Due to the measures announced by the government, near-term correction in steel stocks is imminent. We believe the ramification of these decisions by the government will be felt widely across all parts of the industry,” says Motilal Oswal   According to Motilal Oswal, the export duty hikes can impact the valuation of the sector and companies' ability to invest in capacity growth in the long term.  On the contrary, the government has reduced excise duties on petrol and diesel by Rs 8 and Rs 6 per litre, respectively. Following this, Parbhudas Liladhar has cut its FY23 EPS estimates for HPCL and BPCL by 56% and 40%, respectively, as elevated oil prices remain challenging.  According to the brokerage, OMCs ability to reduce high marketing losses will be contingent on crude price correction, as high inflationary pressure will prevent meaningful retail price hikes despite excise duty cuts. [Parbhudas Liladhar]   Technical charts suggest shares of BPCL could see a bounce until their new 52-week low remains unbreached.  The weekly chart of Hindustan Petroleum Corporation, meanwhile, currently signals a bearish trend. The stock price of Indian Oil Corporation is well-placed given its sustenance above the 200-day moving average level.  On Tuesday, logistics player Delhivery's market debut will be closely watched, while in the primary market chemical company, Aether Industries' Rs 808 crores-IPO will open for subscription.  Besides, Adani Ports, Balkrishna Industries, Balrampur Chini, Grasim, Ipca Laboratories and Metropolis Health will be on investors' watch ahead of their Q4 results. That apart, stock-specific action and global cues will dictate the market trend.

After public sector insurance behemoth Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) trimmed the size of its initial public offer (IPO) from over Rs 60,000 crore to Rs 21,000 crore, Softbank-backed Delhivery has trimmed its issue size from Rs 7,460 crore to Rs 5,500 crore to align with the volatile market conditions.   Delhivery's IPO will be second biggest this year after LIC and among the top-five since 2021. Besides these two IPOs, nearly half a dozen companies plan to raise over Rs 7,500 crore via primary markets in May alone. According to a recent note by Prime Database, 54 companies plan to raise a massive Rs 1.4 trillion, including the LIC IPO, in 2022 and currently hold market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India's (Sebi's) approval. Another 43 companies, the note said, are looking to raise about Rs 81,000 crore where Sebi approval is still awaited.   The largest IPO in 2021-22 in terms of size, which was also the largest Indian IPO ever till the LIC IPO came around, was of One 97 Communications (PayTM) for Rs 18,300 crore.   So, what's in store for primary markets in the months ahead? Will the fund raising frenzy slow a bit?   According to Sunil Tirumalai, strategist at UBS Securities India, primary markets will definitely see a fallout of slowing flows and pressure on valuations. The downsizing of LIC IPO is an example of the same, he says. Now let's go to Ambareesh Baliga, an independent market analyst, to understand the dynamics in details. IPOs involve long-term planning, he says adding that trimming the IPO size is a prudent thing to do given the current markets. Timing the IPO is difficult, but companies need to leave something on the table for investors for the IPO to garner subscription, he says.    So, will the volatile market conditions see companies trim their offer size? VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist of Geojit Financial Services says IPOs do well in a bull-market; key is to get the issue price right. LIC's original plan to offload 5% equity was an uphill task in the current market, he says adding that issuers need not wait for a ‘favourable' time / postpone issue. Message from the market is clear: Get the pricing right, he says.    Today, the markets will react to the US CPI numbers and how the global markets perform. Stock-specific action is likely to continue amid volatility.  

The race to acquire Ambuja Cements and ACC seems to be entering the final lap now. The two top contenders -- Gautam Adani and Sajjan Jindal -- are now vying to take over the two leading domestic cement companies owned by international building materials giant Holcim which is now exiting India after 17 years. There are some other contenders too, like India's top cement maker Ultratech. But why do all these leading firms want to buy Holcim's stake? And why did the Switzerland-based company decide to quit India which contributes 27% of its global sales volumes.  Holcim's decision to pull the plug on an emerging market like India has indeed baffled many. But, if reports are to be believed, it is doing so due to its commitment to check global warming. Similarly, but not on that scale, a 55-year-old engineer from Ladakh has been doing his bit to spread awareness about climate change for decades now. Sonam Wangchuk is now a familiar name in India, thanks to his now resounding voice on climate change and innovations in the cold mountains. His latest one is a carbon-neutral solar building that stays warm even in freezing conditions and can help clean the toxic air of Delhi and NCR. Business Standard's Nazia Iqbal caught up with him in Ladakh to know more. Like the weather, markets too are going through a volatile phase. Volatility in the secondary market against the backdrop of US Fed rate hike and ongoing Russia-Ukraine war has seen two companies – Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and Delhivery -- trim the size of their initial public offers in May. Will more companies follow the suit as the markets are likely to remain choppy?  It may have hit the economy and markets adversely, but the pandemic was in a way good for the Indian pharma industry. India makes about 60% of the world's vaccines and 20% of generic drugs. The US is a major export destination. On its part, the US administration carries out regular inspections at offshore drug making units to ensure that they stick to the standards. In one such recent check, the US FDA has issued Form 483 to a firm. This episode of the podcast demystifies the Form 483 and more.

The 10-year US Treasury yield jumped to its highest in two years, topping 1.83 per cent. In the commodity market, international benchmark Brent crude futures rose 1.6% to $87.89 a barrel, and in the US, futures tied to Dow Jones, S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices slipped 0.8 to 2%.   Back home, the BSE Sensex shed 554 points, or 0.9 per cent, to close at 60,755. The NSE Nifty50 ended at 18,113, down 195 points or 1 per cent. During the day, the indices hit intra-day lows of 60,662 and 18,086, respectively.   Only 7 Sensex constituents – Axis Bank, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Dr Reddy's Labs, Kotak Bank, Titan Company, and Nestle India – managed to end in the green. Losses, on the other hand, were led by Maruti Suzuki, Ultratech Cement, Tech Mahindra, HCL Tech, Tata Steel, and IndusInd Bank.   The volatility index was up 6% at 17.78, indicating jitters among investors.   Sectorally, all Nifty indices ended significantly lower, with highest losses in realty, auto, and metals. The three indices closed over 2% down. All others were over 1% lower, barring banks and financials which ended marginally down.   Among individual stocks, shares of Prestige Estates Projects hit a record high, rallying 8% on the BSE after the real estate company said it registered its highest ever quarterly sales in the December quarter at Rs 4,267 crore, up 111% year-on-year. The stock closed 2.5% up.   On Wednesday, auto majors Bajaj Auto and Ceat are likely to be in focus along with Sterlite Tech as these companies will announce their Q3 results.   Further, the first IPO of calendar year 2022 will open for subscription tomorrow. Cash management services provider AGS Transact Technologies' offer will open on Wednesday and close on January 21. The price band for the issue has been fixed at Rs 166-175 per share. The company plans to raise Rs 680 crore through the issue, which is entirely an offer for sale.   Lastly, e-commerce logistics firm Delhivery has received the approval of the Securitries and Exchange Board of India to raise Rs 7,460 crore through an initial public offering. The IPO comprises a fresh issue of shares worth Rs 5,000 crore and an offer for sale of Rs 2,460 crore by existing shareholders. Through the offer-for-sale, investors Carlyle Group, SoftBank and Delhivery's co-founders will divest parts of their shareholding.

The phrase “using data to tell stories” is so commonly used nowadays that it runs the risk of becoming a cliche, if it hasn't become one already. This episode's guest flips this logic around - instead of using data to tell stories, he uses stories to teach data science! Arvind Venkatadri is a faculty member at Srishti Manipal School of Art, Design and Technology. His research/teaching interests include TRIZ, Computation in R, Design using Open Source Electronics Hardware, and Complexity Science. He is part of the School of Foundation Studies at SMI. This is a very wide ranging conversation. We talk about, among other things, The Three Musketeers, Lawrence of Arabia and Legally Blonde. We talk about how Arvind leverages all of these to teach his students data science and logic and game theory. At a time when the field of data science is rife with “pile stirring”, where a large section of practitioners treat it as an extension of software engineering, Arvind's approach, centred on stories and the human experience, is really refreshing. His approach also gives a pointer on how to widen the base in terms of attracting people into data science. I must apologise for one thing - this conversation was recorded during Deepavali in November 2021, so you can occasionally hear the sound of firecrackers in the background. I really hope you can get past that and listen to Arvind's stories.

There is a conception, or misconception, that journalists are not good at maths. It is rather common to see newspaper headlines and graphics that make basic mathematical and logical errors. On the other hand, in the last decade or so, we have seen a massive rise in “data journalism”. With more and more data being available, journalists are able to write stories exclusively based on data. How do these two square off? To answer this, we have Sukumar Ranganathan, editor in chief of the Hindustan Times. He was previously editor of Mint, of which he was one of the founding editors. It was while he was at Mint that he gave a big push to the then nascent field of “data journalism”, inviting writers such as HowIndiaLives, Rukmini S and myself to write data-backed pieces for Mint. He has previously worked in editorial leadership roles at The Hindu Businessline and Business Today. Sukumar has degrees in chemical engineering, maths, and business administration, and is interested in mathematics, science and technology, the history of business, new media, and data-based political journalism. He reads and collects comic books and is an amateur birder.
