India is witnessing an unprecedented expansion in higher education. Over the past decade, thousands of new colleges and universities have been established, producing millions of graduates every year. Yet unemployment of the educated remains a growing concern. Nearly one in three graduates are unemployed. Is India producing more graduates than what the economy can absorb? Here, we discuss the question. Guests: Rajan Wadhera, Former President, Automotive Sector, Mahindra & Mahindra; O. R. S. Rao, Vice-Chancellor, ICFAI University, Sikkim Host: M.

Adani started buying apples in Himachal Pradesh two decades ago. Not because it wanted to be in the fruit business — but because it wanted to own the cold chain that nobody else was building.Now the India-New Zealand free trade agreement is about to test Indian apple growers like never before. New Zealand yields 50 to 70 tonnes per hectare. Himachal Pradesh averages 7 to 8.Adani just expanded into cherries, plums, and peaches — fruits even more perishable than apples. The bet is the same as it always was: whoever controls refrigeration, controls the market.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

What does Dolby Atmos actually mean in a car — and why does it matter more in a car than in your living room?In this episode of the evo India Podcast, Karan Grover, Senior Director at Dolby Labs, sits down with executive editor, Aatish Mishra to explain exactly how Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision work in cars, why a car is actually the most perfect listening environment Dolby has ever worked with, and why India is doing things in car audio that have never been done anywhere else in the world.The conversation covers the detail that will stop most people cold: AR Rahman composed 1,100 individual chimes for the Mahindra BE6 and BE9, all mixed in Dolby Atmos — so when a warning sound tells you there is an obstruction on your left, it genuinely comes from your left. That is not a gimmick. That is object-based audio design applied to a car's entire sound ecosystem.Karan explains how Dolby Atmos goes from a recording studio to a streaming platform to your car's speakers, why the car is the only listening environment where every speaker position and every seat position is fixed — which makes it the ideal space for Atmos tuning — and how Mahindra Auto became the first manufacturer in the world to put Dolby Atmos on a 4-channel non-branded speaker setup in the XUV 3XO. Mahindra also pushed Dolby to deliver Atmos on the Thar, previously thought impossible at that speaker configuration. Both were firsts. Both happened in India.The episode also covers the Mercedes-AMG GT63 Electric's synthesized V8 sound and whether it is tuned in Dolby Atmos, how EVs are changing the science of sound design because there is no engine masking the audio environment, why Apple CarPlay supports Atmos playback and what Android's recent update means for wireless Atmos in cars, and where car audio goes from here — including the possibility of film premieres in cars and Dolby Atmos eventually reaching buses, tractors and auto-rickshaws. He also talks about the various cars which have Dolby Atmos like the XUV 7XO, the Maruti Suzuki Victoris, Tata Sierra and more. Dolby currently works with 38 automobile manufacturers and over 150 car nameplates globally.

Was war das für ein Rennwochenende in Monaco! Luca Storms und Tobi Wirtz haben so viele Themen, dass es sogar für zwei Podcast-Episoden reichen würde. Eine kleine Auswahl gefällig? Nyck de Vries feiert seinen ersten Sieg nach rund vier Jahren, Mahindra musste sogar fast fünf auf einen Erfolg warten. Jaguar hat ein bärenstarkes Wochenende hingelegt, es fehlte lediglich ein Sieg im Fürstentum. Den holte dafür Weltmeister Oliver Rowland, der sich dadurch erneut in den Titelkampf einschaltet. Abwärts hingegen ging es für Pascal Wehrlein, der Monaco ohne etwas Zählbares verlässt, nachdem er am Samstag sogar mit Teamkollege Nico Müller kollidiert war. Dan Ticktum zeigte sich bärenstark im Qualifying, im Rennen gab es nach zwei Strafen jedoch keine Punkte für den Briten - unter anderem nach einer heftigen Kollision mit Antonio Felix da Costa. Ganz anders Ticktums Teamkollege Pepe Marti, der sein erstes Formel-E-Podium feiern durfte - genau wie Felipe Drugovich im Andretti. Und dann gab es auch noch ein paar sehr kuriose Strafen... Viel Spaß beim Hören.
El E-Prix de Mónaco 2026 volvió a dejar uno de los fines de semana más intensos y espectaculares de la temporada de Fórmula E, marcado por accidentes, estrategias extremas y constantes cambios de líder en las calles de Montecarlo. En este episodio analizamos las victorias de Nyck de Vries con Mahindra Racing y de Oliver Rowland junto a Nissan Formula E Team, además del liderato de campeonato conseguido por Mitch Evans tras otro fin de semana de enorme regularidad. El gran foco en clave española estuvo en Pepe Martí, que logró el primer podio de un piloto español en Fórmula E junto a CUPRA KIRO, confirmando su crecimiento dentro de una de las categorías más estratégicas e imprevisibles del automovilismo actual. También repasamos cómo elementos como el ATTACK MODE y el PIT BOOST volvieron a ser decisivos en carrera, el complicado paso de Porsche Formula E Team por Mónaco y la igualdad existente entre estructuras como Jaguar, Nissan, Mahindra y CUPRA KIRO. Un episodio para entender por qué esta temporada 2025/26 se está consolidando como una de las más abiertas y competitivas de la historia reciente de la Fórmula E y cómo Mónaco puede marcar un punto de inflexión en la lucha por el campeonato.
La Fórmula E afronta este domingo la segunda carrera del histórico doble evento del E-Prix de Mónaco tras una espectacular Ronda 9 que volvió a confirmar por qué Monte Carlo se ha convertido en uno de los escenarios más imprevisibles y estratégicos del campeonato eléctrico. Las estrechas calles del Principado recibieron una carrera marcada por accidentes, cambios constantes de posición, estrategias de PIT BOOST y un desenlace que alteró completamente la lucha por el campeonato. Nyck de Vries fue el gran protagonista del sábado al lograr una brillante victoria para Mahindra Racing, la primera del equipo en la era GEN3 y el regreso del neerlandés al escalón más alto del podio desde Berlín 2022. El campeón de la Temporada 7 ejecutó una carrera impecable, aprovechando perfectamente la ventana estratégica del PIT BOOST y gestionando con precisión tanto el ATTACK MODE como el ritmo en las vueltas decisivas para construir una ventaja definitiva sobre sus perseguidores. La prueba dejó además un importante giro en la clasificación general. Mitch Evans volvió a demostrar el enorme potencial competitivo de Jaguar con una sólida segunda posición que le permite colocarse como nuevo líder del Campeonato Mundial de Pilotos, superando a Pascal Wehrlein y llegando a la Ronda 10 con una ventaja de 15 puntos. Jaguar también logró asaltar el liderato del campeonato de equipos, aumentando todavía más la presión sobre Porsche en un momento clave de la temporada. Uno de los grandes nombres propios del sábado fue Pepe Martí. El piloto español heredó el tercer puesto tras la penalización posterior a la carrera de Dan Ticktum y consiguió así su primer podio en Fórmula E, convirtiéndose además en el primer español en subir al cajón dentro del campeonato eléctrico. El rendimiento del rookie de CUPRA KIRO confirmó el enorme nivel competitivo que está mostrando durante su temporada de debut y lo sitúa como uno de los focos principales para la segunda carrera del fin de semana. La Ronda 9 volvió a demostrar también lo delicado que resulta cualquier error en Monte Carlo. Nick Cassidy y Jake Dennis provocaron el primer Safety Car tras un accidente en las primeras vueltas, mientras que más adelante Nico Mueller, Pascal Wehrlein, Oliver Rowland y Antonio Félix da Costa quedaron atrapados en distintos incidentes que condicionaron completamente sus carreras. El espectacular accidente entre Ticktum y Da Costa en la curva 10 terminó siendo uno de los momentos más impactantes del fin de semana y volvió a evidenciar el límite absoluto al que se compite en las calles del Principado. A diferencia de la carrera del sábado, la Ronda 10 se disputará sin PIT BOOST, devolviendo el protagonismo absoluto a la gestión energética tradicional, al posicionamiento estratégico y al uso del ATTACK MODE. Esta configuración suele generar carreras todavía más compactas, donde la eficiencia y la lectura táctica adquieren un peso enorme en un circuito donde adelantar exige precisión milimétrica y máxima confianza. Con el campeonato completamente abierto, Jaguar creciendo en rendimiento, Porsche obligado a reaccionar y Mahindra reforzada tras su inesperada victoria, el E-Prix de Mónaco afronta una segunda carrera cargada de tensión deportiva y con múltiples candidatos reales al triunfo en uno de los escenarios más emblemáticos del automovilismo mundial.

He is frequently blamed for ignoring the systemic risks that eventually led to the subprime mortgage collapse.Elon Musk (DOGE):Under directives from DOGE, the SEC was required to submit plans for "large-scale reductions in force" (RIFs). This resulted in the termination of many probationary employees (those with less than two years of service) and several senior directors at regional offices.To avoid even more aggressive firing, the SEC offered $50,000 buyouts to staffers who agreed to leave voluntarily. This led to a significant "brain drain" of veteran trial lawyers and investigators.Staffers linked to Elon Musk and the DOGE initiative were placed in key administrative roles (like the Office of Personnel Management) to oversee these cuts, effectively bypassing the traditional civil service protections that usually slow down government layoffs.Biden, for allowing so many enforcements MMHudson Technologies Announces Election of Alan Sheriff and Jeffrey Feeler as Independent Directors.

The name represents resurrection, returning from the brink of failure, or a person overcoming extreme adversity. I'm thinking he needed a Sheriff in case all that digging up corpses from cemeteries went sour.Director Loan Mansy. Getting a good loan is all about putting out feelers to different banks so Loan needed a Feeler to get shit done.Director Vincent P. Abbatecola.Forgive me, maybe I watch too many episodes of The Sopranos but Vinnie used to be the Chairman of the National Packaged Ice Association and that just sounds a bit scary and a bit made up. Like, put him on Ice, Vinny.Speaking of death, Vinny is also a director on the United Hospice Board.And speaking of God, he also serves on the St. Thomas Aquinas College President's Council. St. Thomas Aquinas was declared a “Doctor of the Church” and had mystical experiences. Feeler and Sheriff? That is so Tommy Aquinas.Director, CEO, President, Chair, former COO, former CFO and top shareholder (6%) Brian F.

There aren't other options - if I set a target at Free Float of $1bn in sales by 2030, invest entirely in crypto, lose it all, and we achieve $45 in parking tickets by 2030, do I blame the changing market environment and just skip the target?

Good Morning, I'm Nelson John, and this is Top of the Morning. Today, the World Bank just raised India's growth forecast to 6.6% for FY27, calling it the fastest-growing major economy on the planet. India's EV market nearly doubled in FY26 with close to 2 lakh units sold, and the competition between Tata, Mahindra, and Maruti is heating up fast. Anthropic just revealed an AI model so powerful they refuse to release it publicly, launching Project Glasswing with Apple, Microsoft, and Google to fix thousands of software vulnerabilities before hackers find them. TCS posted its Q4 results with a strong recovery, but the full-year numbers tell a different story: the first annual revenue decline in constant currency since the company listed. And India's gaming industry is attempting the comeback of a lifetime after the real-money gaming ban wiped out 95% of Dream11's revenue overnight. Five stories. One theme.

Vinfast, Vietnam's ambitious electric vehicle maker, is making its last-ditch global play in India after racking up billions in losses in the US and Europe.

Tesla has been flirting with the Indian market for years. In 2016, after Elon Musk tweeted about it, some even paid the 1000 USD fee and pre-booked Tesla's Model 3. But, they never got their car. Earlier this month, in July 2025, Tesla finally launched in India. The company will have three showrooms, one in Mumbai, one in Delhi and one in Gurugram. It'll sell its Model Y in India, priced at 60 lakh rupees. But, the Indian EV market has changed drastically since 2016. There are so many local and foreign players in town now – BYD, Mercedes, Audi, Tata and Mahindra, to name a few. Tesla's sales have also gone down, globally. Given that, will the company succeed or will it tank in India? In the latest episode of The Signal Daily, we'll hear from consumers and auto experts. Why would an Indian consumer choose to go for a Tesla right now? The Core and The Signal Daily are ad supported and FREE for all readers and listeners.

China controls over 90% of rare-earth processing and has tightened export rules, stalling approvals to countries like India. Now, even importing magnets requires a bureaucratic maze of guarantees, embassy sign-offs, and unanswered emails.How are Indian EV makers are coping? Tune in to find out.

Mahindra's new EVs the XEV 9e and BE6 were marketed as software wrapped in metal. They promised the future. Things like augmented reality heads up display, auto park assist, a triple screen dashboard, an in car camera, and a digital key based on near field communication. But now, that long list of cutting edge features is proving to be a real bottleneck for the company. The Ken spoke to at least a dozen frustrated buyers of Mahindra's new electric twins, who haven't yet received their cars despite promised deliveries. Why? Well, the reason apparently is a software update. Buyers have found that the digital keys they were handed at the showrooms just wouldn't work. Touchscreens were freezing, Cameras were glitching.
