Chirag Taneja built GoKwik into 1 in 5 D2C checkouts in India. But the path there was a series of bets that didn't work, jobs that didn't last, and one moment in 2020 where the suitcases for Canada were packed and waiting in his living room.In Episode 12 of Unstarted, Chirag sits down with Avnish Bajaj to talk about what it actually means to keep tinkering, and when tinkering becomes the thing that holds you back.They get into: 1. What's really important to start a business: idea, capital, or knowledge? 2. Why choosing the right problem matters more than solving any problem 3. The Canada PR that almost happened (and the suitcases that are still in his house) 4. Probabilistic thinking, and why "generate choices" beats "make decisions" 5.

India's carmakers are staring down a deadline. In less than a year, new emission norms will require them to dramatically cut their carbon output — or pay hundreds of millions of dollars in fines. Electric vehicles were supposed to be the answer. But the batteries aren't ready, the infrastructure isn't there, and adoption has been slower than anyone predicted.So the industry has quietly pivoted to an unlikely stopgap: CNG. Tata, Maruti, and Hyundai are all betting on it. In fact, two in every five Maruti cars sold last year ran on the fuel. But a stopgap is still just a stopgap.Tune in.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

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. Every single one is a stress test. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
In this episode of the evo India Podcast, we talk about one of the biggest changes in our journey so far — evo India is no longer a traditional magazine.Before you panic, print is not dead. Far from it. In fact, we believe print can be stronger than ever, but only if it evolves. That is exactly what we are doing with the new evo India mag-book format: a more collectible, more immersive, more premium reading experience that goes beyond the limitations of a regular automotive magazine.We explain why we made this shift, what the new format means, why every issue will now be built around a theme, and why our latest issue is all about the icons of the 1980s. From the Audi Quattro, Ferrari Testarossa and Peugeot 205 GTI to Indian legends like the Ambassador, Padmini, Contessa, Standard 2000, Maruti 800, Omni, and more, this is not just nostalgia; it is about understanding where car culture came from, and where it is going next.This is a big, bold move for evo India, and something that has never really been done in the Indian magazine space before. In this podcast, we talk about the thinking behind it, the excitement, the nerves, the reaction from all of you, and why we believe this new format will make print more special than ever.Watch the full episode and tell us what you think of the new evo India mag-book. We'd genuinely love to hear from you.

In this chapter, Mr. R.C. Bhargava talks about a philosophy that quietly powered Maruti's success: financial discipline built on frugality, internal resource creation, and ethical leadership.At a time when many businesses chase scale through aggressive borrowing and cash burn, Bhargava shares why Maruti believed that sustainable growth can only come from what a company earns and reinvests. From funding R&D without debt, to building reserves before rewarding shareholders, the conversation challenges several modern assumptions about growth and capital.

In this Telugu podcast episode, we sit down with Satish Babu Garu, senior journalist with over four decades of experience in Telugu media. Known for his fearless programmes Dharmapeetam and Journalist Diary, he takes us through untold stories, rare encounters, and unforgettable moments with towering leaders like NTR, YSR, KCR, Jayalalitha, Chandrababu Naidu, Nadendla Bhaskar Rao, Renuka Chaudhary, and others.Produced with his own money, nearly ₹14 lakhs, Dharmapeetam became a landmark show at a time when private electronic media was just taking shape. Without fear or compromise, the show gave a way to ask the questions no one else dared to. From delicate issues to personal truths, the programme redefined Telugu journalism.He recalls his powerful memories with NTR, the journey from Gemini office to Dharmapeetam in NTR's favorite Maruti 800, the leader's habit of never using black ink, and the heartfelt appreciation he received after the show. The episode, shot in October and telecast on January 15th, became historic. A few days later, on January 18th, 1996, NTR passed away suddenly, making that telecast one of the last candid conversations with the legendary leader.Satish Babu also shares insider perspectives on YSR's meteoric rise--how TV amplified his popularity, why his death triggered an emotional wave across Andhra Pradesh, and the rare culture of devotion that led to suicides after his passing. He highlights the role of media in building leaders, and the personal connection his own family felt during that time.From Jayalalitha's humiliation in the Tamil Nadu Assembly and her vow to become CM, to Chandrababu Naidu's bomb blast episode, Satish Babu analyzes how leaders face crises, and what journalists must learn from such moments. He recalls the attack on IPS Umesh Chandra, naxalite encounters, and the balance required to report injustice on both sides.The podcast then travels into the Telangana agitation: KCR's hunger strike, the Million March at Tank Bund, and the role of electronic media in intensifying the movement. Satish Babu reflects on why movements succeed, when they lose control, and why KCR eventually faced defeat after a decade of power.Beyond politics, we see Satish Babu the person; camera-shy, preferring to stay behind the scenes, sometimes battling alcohol, yet brutally honest about its effect on his career. He opens up about facing hate comments, accusations of bias, corruption allegations, and why a journalist's job is to reveal truth regardless of party lines.Drawing inspiration from Karan Thapar's fearless interviewing style, he explains the difference between seeing and truly observing. From covering disturbing bomb culture stories in Kadapa, to calling Justice Waghray directly for NTR's case while still in his twenties, to recording voices of constables in Adilabad encounters, Satish Babu's career shows what fearless journalism looks like.Along the way, he remembers unusual incidents: a temple shut down after Dalit entry, Gandhi Hospital negligence case, his first computer bought with a 1-lakh loan (20 MB hard disk, 2 MB RAM), and acting cameos in films like Ganesh and Yatra.In this episode, Satish Babu also talks about family, women's role in his life, profit vs. principles in journalism, and advice for the next generation of creators. For him, contributions may feel “negligible,” but his legacy of courage speaks volumes.Whether it is Dharmapeetam's 50 bold episodes, the final interview with Gaddar just before his attack, or the emotional truths of Telangana politics, Satish Babu Garu's journey reminds us why journalism matters.If you're someone curious about Telugu politics, fearless interviews, the evolution of journalism, leadership stories, and insider perspectives on NTR, YSR, KCR, Jayalalitha, and Chandrababu Naidu, this episode is a must-listen.
In the latest episode of the evo India Podcast, Editor Sirish Chandran sits down with veteran automotive journalist Bob Rupani for an in-depth discussion on the highs and lows of the Indian automotive industry. The conversation begins with the ban on old cars in Delhi and India's scrappage policy, raising concerns about losing iconic cars such as the Maruti 800, Premier Padmini, Hindustan Ambassador, and classic Tata Motors models, vehicles that deserve to be preserved in museums to keep Indian automotive heritage alive for future generations.They also highlight the inconsistency of automotive policies in India, the challenges faced by car manufacturers, and the uncertainty created for consumers. Another key topic is the proposed diesel ban in India, which could impact not just the auto industry but also multiple sectors that rely heavily on diesel fuel.The podcast further explores issues with traffic laws in India, road safety, and the urgent need for stricter and more consistent enforcement to reduce accidents, fatalities, and injuries. Listen now to hear Bob Rupani and Sirish Chandran discuss India's old car ban, scrappage policy, automotive heritage, diesel ban, policy challenges, and road safety.

India-Pakistan Tensions Rise After Indus Waters Treaty Suspension Just a day after India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians, Pakistan retaliated by calling the move an “Act of War.” Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif chaired an emergency meeting, announcing a series of countermeasures—halting all trade with India, expelling Indian diplomats, closing airspace to Indian carriers, and putting the 1972 Simla Agreement “in abeyance.” But can Pakistan afford a war? The numbers say no. Foreign reserves stand at just $11.09 billion, barely covering two months of imports. With $131 billion in external debt and $100 billion due in repayments over the next four years, Islamabad is walking a fiscal tightrope. Its economic lifeline, a $7 billion IMF bailout, is arriving in slow trickles amid warnings of “formidable vulnerabilities.” Political instability adds to the volatility. While rhetoric from Islamabad is heating up, experts warn a full-blown escalation could tip Pakistan deeper into economic crisis. 2. Airspace Closed, Ticket Prices Climb Pakistan's closure of airspace to Indian airlines is already causing turbulence. Airlines like Air India, IndiGo, SpiceJet, and Akasa Air are now forced to reroute via the UAE or Iran, adding over an hour of flight time. The result? A potential 35–40% surge in international ticket prices, according to aviation experts. Affected routes include key flights to the US, UK, Europe, and Middle East. Meanwhile, India has suspended visa services for Pakistani nationals. Though ICAO permits such restrictions for security, bilateral coordination is now unlikely, signaling worsening diplomatic frostbite. Hospitals in India are rushing to treat Pakistani patients before a May 1 deadline, with critical medical cases—especially children—caught in the crossfire. 3. Tesla May Finally Set Up Shop in India India's EV policy may soon get a revamp—and Tesla could be the biggest beneficiary. A senior government official said India is open to revising its electric vehicle manufacturing policy once tariff terms are finalised under the India-US Bilateral Trade Agreement. At stake is the Scheme to Promote Manufacturing of Electric Passenger Cars in India, which slashes import duties from 70–80% to 15% for up to 8,000 imported EVs annually for five years. While the scheme had no takers initially, Tesla's February hiring spree in India signals renewed interest. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, commenting on the broader trade talks, said, “There's a serious lack of reciprocity” with India. With both sides looking to strike balance on tariffs and access, Tesla's India debut could mark a turning point in EV manufacturing for the region. 4. Maruti Suzuki Braces for Earnings Slowdown India's auto giant Maruti Suzuki is expected to post a muted Q4 today, with revenue growth of 7% and profit likely down by 4%, say brokerages. Margins are squeezed by higher marketing spends and discounts, with Ebitda likely shrinking by 44 basis points. Inventory levels have surged—from 9 days in January to over 40 now—forcing the company to scale back wholesale dispatches. Still, Maruti sold over 6 lakh vehicles in Q4. Key things to watch: Demand outlook as income tax relief and RBI rate cuts play out. Export risk, especially amid Trump's 25% tariffs on autos. The lukewarm launch of Maruti's first EV, the e-Vitara, which has seen slow bookings ahead of a May-June delivery window. Despite the slowdown, Maruti's stock has climbed 6% this year, outpacing the Nifty Auto index. But investors are looking to today's earnings call for clues on whether the momentum can return.

Back in 2009, Tata launched an egg-shaped four seater hatchback that it was convinced would redefine mobility for the masses, Tata Nano. Initially priced at just Rs. 1 lakh, it was designed as the dream ride for the lower middle class. It was a bold and ambitious that unfortunately didn't quite take off. Auto experts say it was because of a combination of factors. But perhaps the biggest learning from the Nano fiasco was that car ownership in India isn't just about wheels. It's about status. Now, almost two decades later, Tata Motors has managed to dethrone India's largest passenger carmaker, Maruti, to officially become the public's favourite. And it's all because of how it has positioned itself since the Nano. Take one of its most successful models, Tata Punch, for example. Last year, this compact SUV became the country's best selling car. It managed to beat the iconic Maruti Wagonr and Swift which previously took the top spot for several years now. So how did Tata Motors get here? In this episode we dive into its journey from the Nano to the Punch.

Marketbuzz Podcast: Indian markets may see a gap-up start according to the GIFT Nifty. Watch out for stocks like Bharti Airtel, Spandana Sphoorty, Maruti and others.
Welcome to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are top developments from around the world ahead of today's trading session -Thursday resulted in a sixth straight day of gains for the Nifty and this six-day winning streak itself has resulted in gains of over 800 points for the index, powered by the index heavyweights HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank. The Nifty Bank has been a key catalyst in this surge that the Nifty has seen going into a fresh series. -Auto stocks led by Maruti powered the Nifty ahead during Thursday's trading session. India's largest passenger car manufacturer now has a market capitalisation of well over ₹4 lakh crore. The other bits of gains came from Metal stocks, which continued to rally on hopes of further stimulus being injected in China. -Friday's trading session will see the Nifty index rejig taking place post closing and Trent and Bharat Electronics (BEL) will become part of the Nifty 50, replacing LTIMindtree and Divis Laboratories. There will also be rejig in the Nifty Bank and the Nifty 500, and an increase and decline in weightage in a lot of stocks. - GIFT Nifty was trading with a premium of 45 points from Nifty Futures' Thursday close, indicating a start in the Green for the Indian market. Stocks in focus: IT stocks, Prataap Snacks, Biocon, Nuvama Wealth Management, KEC International, Thangamayil Jewellers, Adani Green Energy, RailTel, RITES, Indian Bank, NTPC Green -Stocks in Asia extended gains as risk appetite across financial markets got a further boost from China's latest stimulus measures and upbeat US momentum. Equities in Australia advanced, while China's benchmark CSI 300 Index is set for its biggest weekly gain in almost a decade after officials pledged to increase fiscal support and stabilize the property sector to revive growth. -Overnight, in the US, revised data showed the US economy in better shape than initially expected, spurred mainly by bigger consumer-driven growth fueled by robust incomes. A decline in US jobless claims underscored the resilience of the labor market. But investors tuning into commentary from Fed Chair Jerome Powell on Thursday didn't get any details on the economic outlook or path for monetary policy. -Thursday's Wall Street trading session ended on a strong note, with the three major averages posting gains and the S&P 500 closing at a fresh record for the third time this week. The Nasdaq Composite also notched four straight winning days. -In commodities, oil slid further as Saudi Arabia was reportedly committed to increasing output in December, while Libya named its new central bank governor, opening the way to reviving some crude production. Copper rallied back above $10,000 a ton and iron ore broke through $100 while gold hit yet another record high on Thursday. 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. Hong Kong futures contracts rose earlier, following a Tuesday rally for mainland stocks and a gauge of US-listed Chinese shares. -Overnight in the US, S&P 500 advanced for a sixth consecutive session, its longest winning streak since January, as traders held to bets the Federal Reserve will cut rates this year. The Nasdaq 100 also set a fresh record. -Fed chief Jerome Powell was careful not to offer a timeline for rate cuts in comments to lawmakers on Tuesday. However, he emphasized mounting signs of a cooling job market after government data showed a third straight month of rising unemployment. -GIFTNifty was trading with a premium of more than 5 points from Nifty Futures' Tuesday close, indicating a flat start but in the green for the Indian market this morning. -Stocks to track: KDDL, Delhivery, Mankind Pharma, Infosys, Delta Corp, Rail Vikas Nigam, Adani Ports, Bank of Baroda, KIMS, Havells India, JSW Steel Tune in to Marketbuzz Podcast for more news and cues
Since 2021, Toyota and Maruti have been engaged in somewhat of a marriage of convenience. The terms were pretty simple. Toyota would share its hybrid technology with Maruti Suzuki. In exchange, Toyota would get to re-enter the pocket-friendly segment. So what this meant was that the non-premium Toyota cars sold were actually built by Maruti. And the fully hybrid cars sold under the Maruti label were built by Toyota. This arrangement has worked well for both companies for multiple reasons. The biggest of which is the growing popularity of hybrid vehicles in India in the recent past. But in the process, EV makers seem to be losing big time. Tune in.P.S.

Designer's Digest series is about Design as a profession, its daily grind, the secrets to climbing the design career ladder, and what edge we'll need to thrive in the captivating design world.

The Indian government aims to achieve 30% EV penetration by 2030 through various initiatives and policies. To discuss all this and Automobile Design as a career in India... Akanksha Sethi joins us. Akanksha has been a Colors, Materials, and Finish Design, Group lead at Maruti Suzuki for the past 13 years. She did her Bachelor of Design from the National Institute of Fashion Technology.

You deal with Colors, Material, and Finish. Tell us more about it. What do you do when it deals with CMF? How does one grow in a career in automobile design? Can you describe the career ladder for automobile designers in India? What are the typical milestones, changes of responsibilities, and challenges at each stage? What is the difference when they say, “Manufactured in India” versus “Assembled in India”? How and where do designers from India fit in this setup? What goes when collaboration happens - Suzuki + Maruti or Hero and Honda? What are some of the most iconic or impactful car colors or materials and finishes you've been part of in your career? What makes them special? What defines the success of a good color for a car? How do we define a good, reliable, and safe material? What are checks and tests done to test materials? How have the skills required for automobile design changed after liberalization (1990)? Or maybe when Maruti 800 came on the market in 1983? What new skills are becoming increasingly important, especially in the context of electric vehicles and sustainable technologies when we talk about CMF? What are the major trends and challenges that are shaping and will shape the industry in the coming decades when it comes to CMF? In this 10-part series, I have 4 woman designers and you are one of them. As per the D'Source repository, only 2 women designers out of 19 Automotive designers in India.

The Karnataka government has announced fixed fares for taxis. Now both app-based and non-app based cab aggregators will have to follow a uniform rate chart. One of the triggers of this move was overcharging. But has the state government gone too far by setting cab fares? Interestingly, the licences of Ola and Uber had expired in 2021, but both the cab aggregators have been operating cabs and autos in Karnataka. The state has refused to renew them alleging non-compliance of regulations. Moving on, Bajaj Auto is going to launch an entry-level motorcycle which will be powered by CNG. Something the world has never seen before. Honda had tried its luck on its Activa model, but couldn't succeed. So how will CNG bikes change the two-wheeler industry if Bajaj succeeds in its mission? Staying with the automobile theme, India's largest auto-maker Maruti has lost the tag of the most-valued auto stock to its competitor Tata Motors, which has been at the forefront on the bourses among other peers. While strong JLR sales has been lending support to Tata Motors, why is Maruti trailing? India's financial markets and economy are set to get a leg up after the country's inclusion into JP Morgan's emerging market debt index. But it will also keep the regulator on its toes because of the so-called “hot money”. But what is it? Listen to this episode of the podcast to know more.
Maruti- Balijit ਮਰੂਤੀ!!- ਬਲੀਜੀਤ The protagonist of the story is a handicapped yet he has a very strong mindset which helps him to stabilize in his life. He completes his education with sheer hardwork and commitment but still somewhere deep inside his mind, he has a feeling that he is dependent upon others due to his physical impairment. He has a companion who has been around since his childhood. The companion helps him to move from here and there, and they both become like body and soul. The problems of companion become his problems and his problems become companion's problem. Hence, they were both dependent upon each other for survival at ease. 'Maruti' is symbolic for the act in which the protagonist persuades the companion to own a car which would indirectly help him to travel as well. The writer has beautifully illustrated the essence of this reliance in their relationship which not only runs the modern world rather it shows the mirror as well.
