Guest: George Kurian, CEO of NetAppFor almost 10 years, George Kurian has been CEO of the data infrastructure firm NetApp, overseeing its pivot to cloud services. After he  took the job — a surprise promotion dropped on him just days before it was announced — he had to learn on the job how the job could be.“ There are a lot more stakeholders that a CEO has to deal with than a chief product officer,” George says, referring to his previous role. “There's also a lot more external commitment ... It was a really all-consuming effort to get the company turned around.”He said the CEO job can be “fairly lonely” because you may want to be peers or friends with your team and your board — but in fact, they are sometimes your subordinates and your superiors, respectively.“ We wouldn't be here without others having contributed significantly on the journey,” George says. “[But] there are times when you have to step back and say, ‘I see a pattern that my team is not seeing,' or ‘Do I think that we can do a better job than we are doing?'”Chapters:(01:10) - Commuting to Sunnyvale (04:49) - Growing up in India (08:04) - Protect the child (09:33) - Raising kids in Silicon Valley (12:44) - Money motivation (15:04) - NetApp's renaissance (21:39) - Writing new chapters (23:15) - Culture shifts (26:38) - Coming to NetApp (29:41) - Surprise!

This week on Hafta, Newslaundry's Abhinandan Sekhri, Manisha Pande, Jayashree Arunachalam and Anand Vardhan are joined by author and political analyst Sanjaya Baru. The discussion begins with Donald Trump being sworn in as the 47th President of the United States of America. The panel analyses the fears of a second Trump presidency. “He will do a lot of damage, yes, but the fear of Trump is greatly exaggerated,” Sanjaya says, adding that India, and the world, historically, has shown the ability to withstand imperialist powers. Jayashree adds, “Trump comes off as unhinged, but he is the essence of what America is like.” The panel also addresses the Indian media's exaggeration of Foreign Minister S Jaishankar's presence in the ‘front row' at Trump's swearing-in ceremony. Commenting on India-US relations, Manisha says, “The Joe Biden administration was kind to Narendra Modi's administration…if Trump is not accommodative, it will affect BJP's ‘vishwaguru' politics domestically.”The panel also discusses how the CBI and TMC government are appealing for the death penalty in the RG Kar case, and catches up on all the subscriber letters we've received so far.

Given that the rupee has plummeted to an even lower level—an all-time low, in fact—and is now worth much less than it was under Manmohan Singh, are we not entitled to some kind of explanation or a little reassurance from the government? Or even an acknowledgement that a promise made again and again in 2013 has not been kept? Watch author & columnist Vir Sanghvi, explain in this edition of ThePrint #SharpEdge

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Ichha Sharma.Today is the 30th of December and here are the headlines.In view of the statewide bandh called by two Punjab farmer unions, security has been amped up with several groups of farmers gathering at key locations on highways and railway stations at 6.30 am onwards. The bandh call was given in support of farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal who has been holding a hunger strike for more than a month seeking the implementation of 13 farm demands. Over 150 trains, including Vande Bharat, were cancelled today and all educational institutes are to remain closed. However, emergency services will remain active across the state. The war of words over former prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh's funeral intensified today, with the Congress saying that senior party leaders did not accompany his family “out of our deference to the privacy of the family”. This comes a day after Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri of the BJP said on Sunday that Congress leaders did not accompany Dr Singh's family when the ashes were immersed in the Yamuna river while BJP leaders were present. Dr Manmohan Singh passed away on Thursday at the age of 92. Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal announced his fifth promise today ahead of the Assembly polls in Delhi, the Pujari Granthi Samman Rashi Scheme, with an eye on Pandit and Sikh voters. Under this scheme, the AAP has promised that if the party returns to power, it will give Rs 18,000 per month to all pandits and pujaris working in temples and to granthis in gurdwaras across the city. The AAP has so far announced four welfare schemes targeting specific categories of voters, including women, Dalits and senior citizens. ISRO will demonstrate for the first time its ability to bring together and join two satellites in space today. The SpaDeX mission, which is the Space Docking Experiment, will launch at 10 pm today, as ISRO's workhorse PSLV rocket lifts off from the first launch pad of the Sriharikota spaceport. For the first time, an ISRO mission will carry a biological experiment. The CROPS experiment (Compact Research Module for Orbital Plant Studies) will see the germination of seed and sustenance of a plant up to a two-leaf stage. The fourth stage of the launch vehicle will be used later as a platform to carry out 24 experiments, including several by startups.The investigation into the Jeju Air plane crash that killed 179 at Muan International Airport in South Korea is underway. Initial findings show a malfunction in the landing gear, which a bird strike may have caused, could have led to the plane's belly landing. Experts have said that multiple factors could have resulted in the plane crash, among which are design flaws at the airport. Questions have been raised over the length of the runway at the airport. According to the official website, the runway is 2,800 m long. This is considerably shorter than runways at international air hubs.This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express.

This week, Newslaundry's Abhinandan Sekhri, Manisha Pande and Raman Kirpal were joined by former Supreme Court judge Justice Madan Lokur and political journalist Neerja Choudhury.Neerja describes Dr Manmohan Singh, who died this week, as a “gentleman politician and a unifying figure” who will be remembered for his “decency in politics” and landmark contributions such as the RTI Act, MGNREGA, and the Indo-US nuclear deal. Justice Lokur says, “He was a great man and a great loss for the country.” Manisha reflects on the media's role during Singh's tenure, saying, “Back then, leaders were judged critically but fairly, without fear of retribution.”Abhinandan adds, “Manmohan Singh's leadership taught us that decency is not a weakness but a strength in politics.”On the media and judicial accountability, Justice Lokur acknowledges the increased public scrutiny on courts. “There must be ways to check judges without undermining the institution,” he says, referencing the need for mechanisms beyond impeachment. Neerja criticises the sensationalism that's come to define election coverage, saying the media's role “is to hold power accountable, not amplify divisive rhetoric”.The panel also reflects on key events of 2024. Neerja cautions that the “challenge to Modi's leadership might come from the extreme right within the BJP itself”. Manisha points out the troubling rhetoric in election speeches, adding, “The prime minister's speeches targeting minorities were demoralising and crossed a line.”Raman highlights the year's highs and lows, saying, “The coalition government formation was a relief for democracy, but the political language this year hit new lows.”This and a lot more.

That India had to warm up to the West is an idea that had been brewing since Indira Gandhi's return in 1980. Singh's success lay in making the same shift much more decisively at the head of a Congress government. It was also audacious, in my book even more so than the 1991 reform, given how little support this had within his party and among the UPA partners.

We hear from the BBC's Nick Marsh.And we celebrate Britain's longest-serving Royal Mail postman, who's leaving the service after 60 years.

Manmohan Singh was an appointed Prime Minister, not an elected one. A wise economist, he was aware of his limitations. Notwithstanding, his tenure in public office was eventful: liberalisation of the Indian economy, Indo-US nuclear deal, devaluation of Indian rupee, and conversations with Pakistan's Musharraf. In Episode 1581 of Cut The Clutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta recalls his interactions with Dr Singh—filled with candor, intellect, and wisdom.----more----Watch Walk the Talk with Dr Manmohan Singh's here: https://www.ndtv.com/video/walk-the-talk-with-dr-manmohan-singh-aired-february-2004-360298----more----Read Walk the Talk with Dr Manmohan Singh's transcript here: https://theprint.in/walk-the-talk/bjp-never-believed-in-reform-what-ex-pm-manmohan-singh-said-in-2004/2285419/----more----Watch Walk the Talk with PV Narsimha Rao's here: https://www.ndtv.com/video/walk-the-talk-p-v-narasimha-rao-296375----more----Read Walk the Talk with PV Narsimha Rao's transcript here: https://theprint.in/walk-the-talk/this-secret-will-perish-with-me-when-narasimha-rao-was-asked-if-india-delayed-nuclear-test/1961746/

Kejriwal criticized Congress for alleging AAP was anti-national despite seeking its help during campaigning.

She accused Congress leaders in Delhi of aiding BJP in the upcoming polls and possibly making secret pacts to harm AAP's electoral prospects.Meanwhile, Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy met with major figures from the Telugu film industry on Thursday, rejecting their demand for increased movie ticket prices. Reddy stressed the importance of respecting the law and not offering any more concessions for film screenings. He also urged industry leaders to support government campaigns against drugs, promote women's safety, and help with ecotourism and temple tourism initiatives. The meeting followed concerns over a stampede during the premiere of "Pushpa 2," which tragically killed a woman.On the global front, a plane crash near Aktau, Kazakhstan, involving an Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer 190, has left over 30 dead, with 32 survivors.

pWotD Episode 2795: Manmohan Singh Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 954,799 views on Thursday, 26 December 2024 our article of the day is Manmohan Singh.Manmohan Singh (Punjabi: [mənˈmoːɦən ˈsɪ́ŋɡ] ; 26 September 1932 – 26 December 2024) was an Indian politician, economist, academic, and bureaucrat, who served as the 13th prime minister of India from 2004 to 2014. He was the fourth longest-serving prime minister after Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Narendra Modi. A member of the Indian National Congress, Singh was the first Sikh prime minister of India. He was also the first prime minister since Jawaharlal Nehru to be re-elected after completing a full five-year term.Born in Gah in what is today Pakistan, Singh's family migrated to India during its partition in 1947. After obtaining his doctorate in economics from Oxford, Singh worked for the United Nations during 1966–1969. He subsequently began his bureaucratic career when Lalit Narayan Mishra hired him as an advisor in the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. During the 1970s and 1980s, Singh held several key posts in the Government of India, such as Chief Economic Advisor (1972–1976), governor of the Reserve Bank (1982–1985) and head of the Planning Commission (1985–1987).In 1991, as India faced a severe economic crisis, the newly elected prime minister, P. V. Narasimha Rao, inducted the apolitical Singh into his cabinet as finance minister. Over the next few years, despite strong opposition, he carried out several structural reforms that liberalised India's economy. Although these measures proved successful in averting the crisis, and enhanced Singh's reputation globally as a leading reform-minded economist, the incumbent Congress Party fared poorly in the 1996 general election. Subsequently, Singh was leader of the opposition in the Rajya Sabha (the upper house of the Parliament of India) during the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government of 1998–2004.In 2004, when the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance came to power, its chairperson Sonia Gandhi unexpectedly relinquished the prime ministership to Singh. His first ministry executed several key legislations and projects, including the National Rural Health Mission, Unique Identification Authority, Rural Employment Guarantee scheme and Right to Information Act. In 2008, opposition to a historic civil nuclear agreement with the United States nearly caused Singh's government to fall after Left Front parties withdrew their support. India's economy grew rapidly during his term.The 2009 general election saw the UPA return with an increased mandate, with Singh retaining the office of prime minister. Over the next few years, Singh's second ministry government faced a number of corruption charges over the organisation of the 2010 Commonwealth Games, the 2G spectrum allocation case and the allocation of coal blocks. After his term ended, he opted out from the race for the office of prime minister during the 2014 Indian general election. Singh was never a member of the Lok Sabha but served as a member of the Rajya Sabha, representing the state of Assam from 1991 to 2019 and Rajasthan from 2019 to 2024.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:07 UTC on Friday, 27 December 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Manmohan Singh on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Joanna.

« À l'Est, quel nouveau ? », titre en Une ce matin Libération. « Le Moyen-Orient en chantier, la Turquie enchantée », résume le journal français qui explique à quel point Ankara « a gagné le gros lot » avec la chute de Bachar el-Assad en Syrie. Cette chute est « l'une des répliques de ce tremblement de terre qu'ont été les attaques terroristes du Hamas en Israël, le 7 octobre 2023 ».L'effondrement du régime pourrait aussi faire vaciller « le pouvoir des mollahs » en Iran, explique Libération. Et cela arrangerait bien sûr Benyamin Netanyahu, le Premier ministre israélien. Le quotidien israélien Haaretz estime d'ailleurs qu'Israël pourrait prendre les devants et pourrait « lance[r] d'ici février ou mars une attaque préventive contre les installations nucléaires iraniennes ». Selon l'éditorial, le pays vise plus ou moins l'Iran en répliquant aux frappes des rebelles Houthi du Yémen. « Les Houthis sont considérés comme une nuisance dont il faut s'occuper pour atteindre le véritable objectif : l'Iran ». Deux jours après Noël, La Repubblica en Italie s'émeut quant à elle du sort de trois bébés à Gaza, morts de froid dans la nuit de Noël. L'éditorialiste du journal écrit directement à l'un d'eux et fait le parallèle avec la naissance de Jésus. « Tu t'appelais Sila, ta cabane était une tente, tu n'es pas née à Bethléem, mais dans une ville de tentes à Khan Younès. [...] Tu es partie ainsi, la nuit de Noël, tandis que le reste du monde se réchauffait au foyer des dîners, de l'affection familiale, des cadeaux, du trop et du vain. [...] Ton père t'a enveloppé dans une couverture, t'a serrée contre lui ; ce n'était pas suffisant ». Le journal publie d'ailleurs une photo du père, tenant le corps de son enfant emmailloté dans une lange blanche. De nombreuses questions après le crash d'un avion au KazakhstanL'avion reliait Bakou à Grozny, en Tchétchénie, mais a dévié de sa course avant de s'écraser au Kazakhstan mercredi 25 décembre 2024, faisant 38 morts. Il a été « probablement abattu par la défense aérienne russe », titre le Süddeutsche Zeitung. « De nombreuses indications, poursuit le journal allemand, suggèrent que l'avion de ligne a été touché par erreur par les défenses anti-aériennes russes ». « Derrière les oiseaux, le missile », grince Le Temps, en Suisse, qui fait référence aux explications venues de Moscou. « Les responsables russes ont cité le mauvais temps et une collision avec des oiseaux comme cause possible », explique le Washington Post. Les médias russes, eux, ne commentent pasLe visage de Manmohan Singh fait la Une des journaux en IndeL'ancien Premier ministre est mort à 92 ans. Le Times of India publie les premières images de l'actuel Premier ministre, Narendra Modi, dans la demeure de Manmohan Singh. Mains jointes, il se recueille au-dessus du cercueil. L'Hindustan Times revient quant à lui sur la carrière de l'homme politique, « considéré comme l'architecte des réformes économiques de l'Inde » qui aura notamment réussi à réduire drastiquement le déficit du pays. La saison 2 de Squid Game sur Netflix divise la presseSquid Game, la série au succès mondial, revient pour une saison 2 sur Netflix. Les utilisateurs de la plateforme peuvent visionner les sept épisodes depuis quelques heures. « Plus de violence, plus de jeux et plus de plaisir », résume El Pais en Espagne. Les sept nouveaux épisodes mettent en scène ce jeu macabre, où des centaines de candidats endettés, au bord du gouffre, risquent littéralement la mort dans des épreuves toutes plus cruelles les unes que les autres… tout cela pour espérer gagner une somme d'argent monumentale. « Vibrant », « déconcertant », « Squid Game est le divertissement dont nous avions besoin pour terminer l'année », se réjouit El Pais quand Le Temps, en Suisse, estime que la série « revient sans innover ». La saison « offre un carnage plus stylisé, mais l'histoire stagne », abonde le New York Times. « Les jeux sont faibles », tranche de son côté Libération, pas convaincu à l'idée d'une troisième saison qui devrait sortir dans quelques mois. 

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, December 27, 2024. This is Nelson John, let's get started.Former Prime Minister and finance minister during the 1992 economic liberalisation, Dr. Manmohan Singh, passed away at the age of 92 at Delhi's AIIMS last night. Dr. Singh, who is often credited with opening up the Indian economy, retired from the Rajya Sabha earlier this year—ending a 33-year stint in the Upper House of Parliament.After a soaring streak, India's residential property market took a downturn in 2024, experiencing a 4% drop in home sales. This marked the first slowdown since the pandemic, with a corresponding decrease in new project launches. However, despite the dip in sales and new supplies, property prices didn't follow suit and instead climbed higher, writes Madhurima Nandy. In the top seven cities, residential sales didn't reach the peaks anticipated for 2024, as reported by Anarock Property Consultants. Election activities and a sluggish process for project approvals contributed to fewer new project launches. While sales volumes dropped, the value of sales actually increased by 16% due to rising home prices and larger unit sizes. As the allure of prestigious campus placements at Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) begins to wane in the face of a global economic downturn, the institutions are rallying behind their students, especially those who have missed the initial rush of high-profile recruiters. In response to the challenging job market, IITs are introducing innovative support systems to aid their students in securing employment. Recognizing the importance of mentorship and preparation, IIT Delhi has launched the "Call a Friend" program. This initiative connects final-year students with peers who have successfully navigated the placement process. The idea, Devina Sengupta reports, is to provide real-time advice and emotional support from those who understand the stress and demands of securing a good job offer.In its annual report on the trends and progress of banking for the fiscal year 2023-24, the RBI outlined a series of potential regulatory changes aimed at strengthening the banking system further. Gopika Gopakumar reports on the changes that include eliminating prepayment penalties on floating rate term loans for small businesses, tighter oversight of inter-linkages between banks, NBFCs, and private credit firms, and more stringent regulations for payment aggregators. RBI is also set to finalize guidelines that will require financial institutions to disclose climate-related financial risks, incorporating scenario analysis and stress testing to gauge these risks better. In India, niche American dramas and smaller Hollywood movies like Tom Hanks' Here and Michael Keaton's Goodrich are carving out success at the box office by appealing to a specific audience that doesn't mind shelling out a bit more for tickets. These films, often showcased in select urban theaters, come with a higher price tag, sometimes over ₹500 a pop. Despite this, they manage to attract a dedicated crowd that values quality storytelling over blockbuster effects. Lata Jha spoke to industry insiders who explained that these movies, typically acclaimed at festivals or tipped for awards, draw viewers who appreciate premium content and are prepared to pay for it. Films like Here and Goodrich have made respectable earnings in India by targeting their ideal audience with higher ticket prices, balancing out their more modest box office hauls.The Sanskrit word Simhavalokana refers to the retrospective glance of a lion as it surveys the path it has traversed. This idea captures the essence of reflecting on key lessons from the financial markets in 2024. This year offered several critical takeaways for investors. Industry consolidation emerged as a strong theme, particularly in sectors like telecom and airlines in India. With the market share of top players increasing significantly, this trend highlighted the potential for multi-year returns from survivors in consolidated industries. Economic events also underscored the dominance of climate-driven food inflation over monetary policy. Valuation metrics also delivered important lessons. Markets in politically and economically troubled regions like Argentina and Pakistan delivered unexpected returns, proving that bad macroeconomic news is often already priced in. Meanwhile, IPOs emerged as a cautionary tale. Swanand Kelkar, managing partner at Breakout Capital Advisors, shares market lessons from the year gone by.

Narasimha Rao became Prime Minister, and he chose Manmohan Singh as his Finance Minister— and things changed.Rao and Singh quickly implemented reforms: they removed restrictive licensing, welcomed foreign investment, and eased machinery imports.The 1991 crisis forced India to rethink its economic approach—it highlighted the risks of heavy borrowing and too much government control.

Nakshatra, an IIT Delhi graduate, developed a deep interest in astrology after facing significant health crises, including a false diagnosis of blood cancer and a paralytic attack in 2011. Initially skeptical, he became intrigued by the accurate predictions made by an astrologer. This fascination led him to study astrology in depth, and after a decade of learning, he decided to pursue it full-time. His vision is to integrate astrology into the field of data analytics, making predictions publicly available on his Instagram page "THE LOGICAL ASTROLOGER" before events occur. According to Nakshatra, the future is predictable. Through his ongoing research, he aims to elevate astrology to global recognition, striving for India to achieve the same acclaim for astrology that it has for yoga, honoring the wisdom of its ancient traditions. 0:00 Predictions for 2024 4:43 Bharat ki Kundli kya hai? 6:50 Past predictions on India that came true 11:01 Kundli is basically Data Analytics Software 13:34 Free Will Vs Kundli mein likha hai 16:45 How Kundli works & predicts future 20:05 ग्रह of Jyotish Vs Planets of solar system 21:41 Jyotish works on Perceptive reality 27:18 How can Kundli be called scientific? 30:17 How Kundli is defined by one's environment 32:05 Dhruv Rathi & Subjective environment 35:14 Objective environment & ग्रह movement 40:46 How kundli can predict one's marriage 43:09 Astrologers can predict number of marriages? 45:02 Multiple relationships today vs 100 years ago 49:40 If marriage is made in heaven, why Kundli milan? 53:37 Kundli milan in arranged marriages 57:12 In Foreign, no Kundli but still things work fine? 1:00:11 Rape case filed due to Kundli milan 1:04:10 Using wrong Kundli for marriage isn't fraud? 1:07:00 Do remedies & manifestation work? 1:09:45 How Behavioural remedies work 1:13:00 How non Behavioural remedies work 1:15:14 Duryodhan's Kundli & remedies 1:17:30 How can jyotish predict country's kundli 1:19:44 Don't mock jyotish but astrologers can be bad 1:24:32 What can be predicted & what can't be 1:25:30 Analysing Narendra Modi's Kundli 1:29:39 Analysing Kundli of politicians 1:32:43 Manmohan Singh's Kundli 1:33:50 Interesting Story of Modi's Kundli 1:35:54 Future of Modi Sarkar & concept of Muhurat 1:38:15 Ram Mandir muhurat was one of the best 1:40:12 How Modi will behave in 3rd term 1:44:00 Can health/diseases be predicted? 1:47:05 How astrology discovered ग्रह ki qualities?
