The US Supreme Court just handed Trump a legal defeat and it barely slowed him down. In a landmark ruling, the court struck down tariffs imposed under emergency economic powers, only for the White House to pivot instantly to alternative legal pathways. For India, caught just before a trade deal that had finally brought some clarity, the timing couldn't be worse. Host Anirban Chowdhury talks to Bipin Sapra, Partner and Indirect Tax Policy Leader, EY India about an 18% tariff rate that once looked certain is now up in the air.

"Don't be afraid to say I don't know. - Will Ritter"  Corrosion is expensive, relentless, and easy to underestimate—until a "lasagna battery" turns aluminum foil green and reminds you what electrochemistry can do in the real world. This conversation reframes corrosion coupons as what they actually are: a repeatable field test that can sharpen your decisions—if you treat the process with consistency.  Respect the coupon, protect the data  Trace breaks down why coupons became non-negotiable in his systems: they turn guesswork into usable corrosion-rate intelligence. Will Ritter of MetaSpec (formerly Pacific Sensor) explains the fundamentals—pre-weighed coupons, exposure time, cleaning, and calculating corrosion rate in MPY (mils per year). The point isn't that the coupon is your pipe; it's that the coupon becomes a reliable, relative gauge over time when variables are controlled.  The "five things" that make results repeatable  Will outlines practical failure points that quietly ruin comparisons quarter to quarter: alloy selection (and staying consistent), surface area (and what happens when hardware covers the coupon), surface finish (including why scratches and pits matter), weight accuracy (and why kitchen/postage scales don't belong in the workflow), and protective VCI packaging that prevents premature corrosion in storage and transit.  Brand building, trade shows, and getting comfortable saying "I don't know"  Will shares his path from Pacific Sensor to MetaSpec and what it looks like to merge brands intentionally heading into 2026. The discussion also moves into trade show presence and digital marketing, plus a simple confidence framework: get comfortable saying "I don't know, but I can find out," and build communication reps—he points to Toastmasters as a low-stakes way to do that.  Listen to the full conversation above.

India's 2026 income tax overhaul marks a pivotal transformation from compliance heavy bureaucracy to trust based governance. The dramatic cut in unexplained income tax from 78% to 39% signals a strategic pivot toward voluntary disclosure and broadening the tax base. Simultaneously, the unified tax year concept eliminates decades of confusing nomenclature, aligning India with international standards. Expanded HRA benefits for metro cities and inflation adjusted thresholds provide relief for middle class workers. Yet concerns persist: aggressive cash monitoring, faceless proceedings, and retrospective amendments risk creating new litigation cycles.

In this episode of The Morning Brief, host Dia Rekhi speaks with David Sax, author of "The Revenge of Analog" and "The Future is Analog," about the curious resurgence of analog living in our hyper-digital age.

From Google employees taking drawing courses to escape software constraints to the pandemic revealing digital life's limitations, Sax examines what defines an analog lifestyle beyond aesthetic choices.

On February 2nd, Trump announced a trade deal with India via a social media post, with no signed agreement, no formal text. Trump says India has committed to stop buying Russian oil, purchase $500 billion in American goods, and grant zero-tariff access while the US merely reduces tariffs from 50% to 18%. India is quiet on specifics. Host Anirban Chowdhury examines this imbalanced framework with International Trade Policy and WTO Expert Abhijit Das and Edward Alden, senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.

Iran's current crisis isn't just another protest cycle, it's a convergence of systemic failures. A decades-old illusion of invincibility crumbled when US-Israeli bombs struck its nuclear facilities. Tehran's water crisis last autumn exposed the regime's inability to provide basic necessities, igniting rage that economic sanctions and 40-50% inflation had already primed. What began as bread-and-butter grievances morphed into brazen political dissent: women publicly burning portraits of Supreme Leader Khamenei. In this episode, host Anirban Chowdhury talks to Kabir Taneja, Deputy Director and Fellow with the Strategic Studies Programme at Observer Research Foundation about Iran's unraveling. The geopolitical architecture Iran built, its "axis of resistance", lies in ruins. Israel systematically dismantled Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthi capabilities, leaving Tehran exposed and its proxies toothless. Even moderate President Pezeshkian backs the crackdown, alienating young voters. For India, this isn't abstract geopolitics. One-fifth of global oil transits the Strait of Hormuz; any Iranian desperation to play there inflates import bills and triggers rupee pressure. Chabahar Port ambitions stall. Basmati exporters await frozen payments. The danger isn't revolution, it's an erratic, cornered regime with nothing left to lose.

Jaishankar's "inclusive development" focus signals intent, but execution trumps rhetoric. The bloc's value lies in widening the negotiating table, not replacing existing systems. India's test: shaping BRICS without being shaped by it, proving genuine multipolarity requires Indian leadership, not Chinese dominance masquerading as collective action. The world watches whether Delhi extracts concrete benefits from this proving ground.

India's quick service restaurant sector witnessed a seismic shift as Devyani International and Sapphire Foods merged to create the country's largest listed QSR platform with over 3,000 stores and consolidated revenue exceeding ₹7,800 crore. The deal brings KFC and Pizza Hut operations under one franchisee, promising annual synergies of ₹210-225 crore and positioning the entity as a formidable challenger to Jubilant FoodWorks' Domino's empire. But size alone won't guarantee success. As India's food services market fragments with regional players and artisanal chains disrupting legacy brands, the combined entity faces a critical question: can it deliver the agility needed to compete in an increasingly brand-agnostic landscape where Gen Z consumers show little loyalty? Host Anirban Chowdhury talks to ET’s Ratna Bhushan and Ankur Bisen, Management Consultant, Author And Senior Partner At The Knowledge Company about how the merger unlocks significant cost advantages and operational efficiencies, yet becoming bigger also makes you vulnerable at the edges. The next two years will reveal whether this consolidation creates a QSR powerhouse or simply a larger target for market disruption.

There are wild changes in the oil and gas markets right now. Michael Tanner and Stu Turley cover the Iranian Revolution, key points about Venezuela, and the shift in markets following the US decision to allow the sale of Venezuelan oil on the open market. This has a second-order effect on the U.S. Dollar: the control of the oil markets and the question of whether China will buy oil from the US at market prices rather than the old Dark Fleet-reduced prices.Don't forget that Energy Security starts at home, but Energy Dominance comes from Exports. And now, Energy Dominance can come from controlling export markets. We have to wonder how OPEC and OPEC+ will respond as we are facing some of the most significant changes in the oil and gas markets we have seen in decades.1. The potential impact of the ongoing revolution in Iran on global oil markets and prices. The hosts discuss how a disruption in Iran's oil exports could lead to a spike in oil prices, potentially up to $80 per barrel in the short term.2. The executive order signed by President Trump to safeguard Venezuela's oil revenues for the benefit of the U.S. and Venezuela. The hosts discuss the key provisions of the order and the reactions from oil executives.3. China's evolving oil and gas production and import trends, and how this could impact global energy markets, particularly with the upcoming Siberia 2 pipeline that will supply more Russian gas to China.4. The potential political implications of high energy prices in the U.S. and how this could impact the upcoming midterm elections, with the hosts discussing a report on how Republican policies could be more favorable for energy affordability.1.How Will a Revolution in Iran Impact the Global Oil Markets?

Five years after a splashy IPO and amid a bruising market reset, Sridhar Ramaswamy is steering Snowflake through a defining moment for enterprise technology: the AI transition. In this episode, hosts Samidha Sharma and Pranav Mukul talk to Snowflake’s CEO and former Google advertising chief to cut through the hype around artificial intelligence and focus on where the real value lies. Ramaswamy makes a clear case for why AI has sharply increased the premium on clean, well-governed enterprise data and why Snowflake positions itself not as an AI company, but as the intelligence layer that makes AI practical at scale. He speaks candidly about Snowflake’s late entry into AI, its rapid catch-up through partnerships with model builders like OpenAI, and how its consumption-based model offers resilience in volatile tech cycles. The conversation also spans the AI bubble debate, the future of search beyond Google’s dominance, and India’s growing importance as a strategic growth and execution hub for Snowflake.You can follow Samidha Sharma on her social media: X and LinkedinCheck out other interesting episodes like: How Will a Volatile ₹ Impact You in 2026?, How Quick Commerce is Triggering a Health Crisis for Gen Z, India’s Labour Law Reboot, Viral to Valuation: Building Women’s Cricket as a Brand and much more.

India’s gig economy is at an inflection point. Sold as a model of flexibility and scale, it now finds itself under scrutiny as workers protest shrinking pay, rising pressure, and the absence of basic protections. This episode examines the deeper tensions powering India’s convenience economy between flexibility and dignity, efficiency and responsibility. At one end is a labour market flooded with millions of workers who struggle to find formal employment. At the other is a platform-driven system that relies on volatility, algorithmic control, and high churn to function. As gig work expands rapidly, questions around minimum earnings, accident cover, social security, and predictability have moved from the margins to the centre of policy debate. Host Neil Ghai talks to Kartik Narayan, CEO of apna.co and Anshul Prakash, Partner at Khaitan & Co as they dissect India’s new labour codes, which formally recognise gig workers but stop short of granting them full employment rights. With enforcement left largely to states, outcomes may vary sharply across the country.Listen in:You can follow Neil Ghai on his social media: X and LinkedinCheck out other interesting episodes like: How Will a Volatile ₹ Impact You in 2026?, How Quick Commerce is Triggering a Health Crisis for Gen Z, India’s Labour Law Reboot, Viral to Valuation: Building Women’s Cricket as a Brand and much more.

On January 3rd, 2026, Delta Force stormed Nicolás Maduro's compound in Caracas in Operation Absolute Resolve. Within hours, the Venezuelan president was shackled aboard the USS Iwo Jima, bound for Guantanamo Bay. Trump announced America would "run" Venezuela indefinitely. The prize? The world's largest oil reserves—303 billion barrels sitting beneath a nation producing less than a million barrels daily. It's regime change theatre: sanctions turned kinetic, liberation sold as law enforcement. International critics cry “land-grab”. Venezuelans are on the edge. Many express their joy on social media and thank Trump. Now the real questions emerge: Will India's Reliance and ONGC reclaim their Venezuelan stakes? Can China's sanctioned oil pipeline survive American control? And when US companies balk at investing in a country with no political legitimacy, what then?

How Legacy Brands Lost GenZ

Generation Z has divorced legacy brands. From fashion to food, skincare to supplements, young Indians are abandoning household names for Instagram-born startups their parents have never heard of. Zara feels too expensive and repetitive. H&M lacks uniqueness. Traditional brands feel inauthentic and mass-produced. But this isn't about price alone. It's about trust, personalization, and meaning. In an era where identity is curated pixel by pixel on social media, GenZ needs brands that speak their language—brands with personality, rough edges, and values that align with their own. Brand consulting and founder of Think9 Consumer Technologies Santosh Desai, ET's Aanya Thakur and Tanishka Dubey as well as Valley's Shubh Agrawal tell host Anirban Chowdhury it’s a "fundamental structural shift"— a permanent rewiring of consumer behavior driven by technology, media fragmentation, and the democratization of distribution. Brand loyalty, he argues, was always just inertia. And that inertia is dead.

Arvind Jain couldn't find his own company's data at Rubrik. So in 2019 before ChatGPT, before the AI boom, he built Glean, the first enterprise generative AI company. Now they're doubling past $100M ARR with 1,100 employees and watching tech giants copy their playbook. But Jain admits his biggest mistake: being too conservative. "We should have gone much bigger, much faster," he says, crediting his Indian upbringing for the cautious approach. Still, Glean remains years ahead as competitors scramble to build "AI that knows your company's data." His contrarian take on AI? It won't shrink workforces, it'll just raise the bar for everyone. The real edge isn't the technology; it's execution.

Will and I explored how chasing “more” can actually leave us feeling less present and less joyful, and how embracing “enough” can open the door to freedom, peace, and genuine happiness. In this episode, you'll hear: How Will blends behavioral finance with stoic wisdom (and why it's not all about the money!) The wild stories that shaped his view on what really matters (spoiler: it's not fancy cars or big houses) My own reflections on how experiences and relationships light me up way more than stuff ever could Practical tips for resisting the “more, more, more!” trap and focusing on what truly fills your cup Will's favorite rituals and routines for staying grounded (and how I'm totally stealing some of them!) Why generosity, adventure, and a little bit of travel hacking can make life so much richer Plus, Will shares his secrets for using points and miles to travel first class (seriously, I'm taking notes!), and we talk about how redefining success around sufficiency could change not just our lives, but our whole culture.

Wealthion continues its August Silver Interview Series with The Market Sniper, Francis Hunt. His message is clear: silver's time is here. In this powerful conversation with Wealthion's Trey Reik, Hunt warns that the global debt crisis is spiraling into a full reset, but also explains why silver may be on the verge of its most important breakout in decades. He shows how silver could soon slingshot past $40, break through $50, and race toward triple-digit territory, all driven by fiat debasement, surging industrial demand, and tightening supply. Francis doesn't just share his views, he walks us through his technical and chart analysis on screen, breaking down silver, gold, the U.S. Dollar, and more in detail. His analysis reveals both the short-term risks of pullbacks and the long-term explosive potential for precious metals.
