These new rules require permits for seven key rare earth elements, creating delays that could ripple through global supply chains. With China controlling nearly 90% of global supply and refining, this move hits American giants like Tesla, Lockheed Martin, and Apple. The U.S. has only one rare earth mine, intensifying the urgency to diversify supply chains. As Bloomberg reports, China's message is clear: if Washington plays tariffs, Beijing plays rare earths. Mehul Choksi Arrested in Belgium; India Pushes for Extradition Fugitive diamond trader Mehul Choksi—accused in the ₹14,000-crore PNB scam—has been arrested in Belgium. Indian agencies, including the CBI and ED, are preparing to travel to Brussels to expedite his extradition. Choksi, who obtained Belgian residency in 2023, is contesting the move on medical and human rights grounds. His lawyer cites poor prison conditions in India and claims the case is political. Belgium has acknowledged India's extradition request, setting the stage for a legal showdown that could mirror past cases like Sanjay Bhandari's. Dr Reddy's Slams Downsizing Rumors Amid Strong Q3 Earnings Dr Reddy's Laboratories has denied reports that it plans to cut workforce costs by 25%, calling the claims “factually incorrect.” Business Standard had reported that high-paid executives and R&D employees were being asked to resign or take voluntary retirement. However, the pharma major insists no such restructuring is happening. Financially, Dr Reddy's delivered a strong Q3 FY25—profit after tax rose 2% YoY to ₹1,413.3 crore, while revenue jumped 16% to ₹8,358.6 crore. Key growth came from India, Emerging Markets, and the Nicotine Replacement Therapy portfolio. EBITDA hit ₹2,298.2 crore, reflecting solid business fundamentals. Tata Capital Files for IPO, Only Third Tata Listing in 25 Years Tata Capital is preparing for a long-awaited IPO, marking the Tata Group's third public listing in a quarter-century, after TCS and Tata Technologies. The move follows an RBI mandate requiring systemically important NBFCs to go public by September 2025. The IPO is expected to raise ₹15,000–₹18,000 crore. Once plagued by bad loans and group-level turbulence, Tata Capital has pivoted under Chairman N. Chandrasekaran and CEO Rajiv Sabharwal, growing its loan book to ₹1.5 trillion. With strong focus on affordable housing and SMEs, the IPO is poised to reshape the NBFC space. OYO Faces FIR Over Alleged ₹22 Crore Revenue Inflation Samskara Resort in Jaipur has filed an FIR against OYO, accusing the travel aggregator of fabricating bookings worth ₹22.22 crore, which triggered a ₹2.66 crore GST notice. Madan Jain, associated with the resort, claims OYO backdated and inflated revenues even before their agreement began in April 2019. Actual bookings via OYO reportedly totaled just ₹10.95 lakh. The FIR names OYO founder Ritesh Agarwal and includes charges of cheating, forgery, and criminal conspiracy. Rajasthan's hotel federation alleges over 20 hotels received similar GST notices, pointing to a broader pattern of grievances against OYO, which is yet to respond.

Two founders lay down their journey so far of going global.First, there was the services wave of exports, led by Infosys and Wipro. Then, companies like Zomato, Oyo, and Ola tried to expand their operations globally. The third wave was headlined by SaaS companies like Freshworks and Zoho. What will the fourth wave of tech exports be?Our guests for this week, Mohit Kumar, founder and CEO of Ultrahuman and Lal Chand Bisu, co-founder of Kuku FM, have an answer to what it could be, and they are leading by example with their own companies at the front of this wave.Mohit shared about 95% of Ultrahuman's customers are from outside India. And their numbers speak for themselves. As for Kuku FM, till early 2024, almost 99% of their business was focused on the Indian diaspora. But they made a switch in 2024, on the back of generative AI, to cross Indian borders. And now, as it stands, the split between India and global is at 90 and 10, respectively, says Lal Chand Bisu.Both these companies are being led by second-time founders. One thing that kept coming up during the discussion was the multiple parallels across both of their companies, like their latecomer's advantage, leading the charge as ‘bear kids' in this economy, and building their business for the freedom and thrill of building a business on their choices.Over the course of the discussion, both Mohit Kumar and Lal Chand Bisu explained how their businesses have evolved over time from when they started to now and how they have scaled and reinvented themselves in this journey.Tune in and listen to episode 34 of Two by Two, hosted by Praveen Gopal Krishnan and Rohin Dharmakumar, as they discuss the hopes, challenges, and excitement surrounding the fourth wave of tech exports from India.-Sign up for The Ken's first subscriber event - https://theken.typeform.com/to/NUPj8HdZ-Additional reading:Kuku FM chooses not to be the hero in its own storyPocket FM had 10 million listeners in India.

The episode covers key aspects of competition law in India, focusing on the Competition Commission of India's (CCI) approach to mergers and anti-competitive practices. The CCI scrutinizes deals where combined market shares exceed 30-40%, particularly among competitors, but has never blocked a transaction since the merger control regime began in 2011. Indian law generally treats companies and their subsidiaries as a single economic entity, except in bidding markets where group companies must avoid sharing sensitive information. The conversation highlights India's evolving competition law, drawing from mature jurisdictions while tailoring rules for the local market. Foreign investors are typically well-informed about Indian competition laws, aligning with approval processes and rules. The evolving legal landscape is seen as an exciting time for competition law practitioners in India.Our GuestVaibhav ChoukseVaibhav is a Partner in the Firm's Competition Law Practice with over 16 years of experience.

Hooters Casino Hotel—now rebranded as OYO Hotel & Casino—has been called the worst hotel on the Vegas Strip. But is it really that bad? We put it to the ultimate test by spending 19 hours trapped inside, eating Hooters for dinner AND breakfast (because yes, this is the only Hooters in the country that serves breakfast). And if that wasn't enough? We also hit up Aussie Heat (a male strip show), sang Dear Theodosia at karaoke (to everyone's disappointment), and dealt with clogged toilets, broken elevators, and staff who couldn't care less.   "Fine" Dining is now on video!

Hooters Casino Hotel was meant to be a game-changer—bringing its busty brand of mediocrity to the Las Vegas Strip. Instead, it became one of the biggest disasters in Vegas history. A casino so bad, it made Circus Circus look classy. So... what went wrong? For my third annual Hooter Bowl Spectacular, I had to go big. So I spent 19 hours trapped inside the Hooters Casino Hotel (now OYO), enduring its busted elevators, depressing ambiance, and suspiciously sticky carpets—all for the sake of history. Along the way, my guest Alexander Poncio and I uncover the shocking history of this cursed Las Vegas casino—including its mob ties, multiple bankruptcy scandals, and an abandoned attempt in the 1980s to become Vegas' first LGBTQ-friendly resort.

The U.S. hotel transaction market is flourishing for properties valued under $50 million or over $250 million, but mid-size full-service hotels have essentially frozen due to owners clinging to 2019 prices and increased renovation costs. Meanwhile, a severe winter storm caused over 1,400 flight cancellations in the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest, most notably at Washington, D.C.'s Reagan National Airport, with airlines waiving rebooking fees. Lastly, Indian budget hotel operator Oyo has barred unmarried couples from its Meerut properties, sparking questions about the legality and potential spread of this policy to other cities.

Good news, crypto founders: Venture capital activity is picking up in your sector after falling to multi-year lows in late 2023. Put another way, venture folks appear more web3-bullish than before, even if recent tallies are far under highs seen in late 2021.But that was hardly the only news item we had to dig into on Equity this morning. Akamai is spending $450 million for API security firm Noname, a deal that TechCrunch previously reported was looking to get done at around $500 million. The transaction, notable for its size, is also worth considering given that Noname was valued at a unicorn price tag back in 2021.Wiz is another name in the cybersecurity space that could do deals, thanks to a recent $1 billion fundraise. It intends to buy both wounded unicorns and hot, smaller startups to bolster its business. The company is now valued at $12 billion, which is a lot. (Wayve also raised north of $1 billion, but is focused on the self-driving space instead of security.)We also saw Monzo snag $190 million more, bringing its full-year fundraising score to more than $600 million as TikTok fights a ban, and Oyo tries to raise new capital at a fraction of its prior worth.And to close, Haje is bringing Pitch Deck Teardown to Equity! If you have not read the series — start here — you are in for a treat. We're kicking the new segment off with a look at NOQX's deck, what worked, what didn't, and what's next.Chat Friday!Equity is TechCrunch's flagship podcast and posts every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

What does your company do?There are many ways to answer this question.Most founders have a really good answer, some have a meandering one.Well, let's just say it's always a compelling answer.This week we have five founders to answer that question on a broader range. They function in very competitive sectors and are successfully making their mark in their respective sectors by innovating and more appropriately reinventing the wheel.First up, we have newly inducted Shark, Radhika Gupta of Edelweiss Asset Management telling us what her company does for its customers, and what she doesn't want her customers to not do through a great example.Next up, we have Lalit Keshre of Groww, who is very clear who the target consumer for his company is. Starting off as robo-advisory and then pivoting into the mutual fund sector and now on their way to become a complete financial services platform.We have another Shark from the Shark Tank panel featured in this episode. Ritesh Agarwal of Oyo Rooms has built Oyo in his own words into a leading global hotel brand. But that's not all it is as he went on to add further.Next up, we have Kartik Jayaraman, who founded Waycool, a food and agritech company  at the age of 40. He started off  with the simple explanation: We're a supply chain company. At our heart that's what we do. After that he got into the nitty gritty of what Waycool does.Lastly, we have Niraj Singh of Spinny, who is busy building in a space that has many competitors, old and new, and he explained how he's servicing the aspirational class of the country by delivering something the competitors couldn't.If you want to read more about our Narrative Workshops – here is who are our trainers, what we do and how we do it.

Virtues required to build a business today seem to have become a cliché. What often gets lost in the cracks are the subtle nuances that actually make or break a business. The importance of risk-taking and the power of a contrarian mindset in running a successful venture requires far more than mere intellect. Founders of OYO, Mama Earth, and Rare Rabbit open up about what makes them tick, from the impact of their upbringing on their ambition to the drive towards financial independence. Their experiences remind us that the real ‘secret' to building a successful business is learning from every challenge and opportunity one encounters We break down traits that seem to persist in high-performing individuals, not all of which come from a happy space. Financial insecurity and childhood traumas shape much of how we act and operate as adults. Watch this episode to learn about how when it is channeled the right way, it can prove to be the building blocks of the traits needed to build a successful business. #Nikhilkamath Co-founder of Zerodha, True Beacon and Gruhas Twitter https://x.com/nikhilkamathcio/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilkam...

Habia una vez un gran orisha (dios) Obatala, Este dios era el creador de la humanidad,  y un día decidió visitar a Shangó, el orishá o dios del trueno y del relámpago, que vivía y reinaba en la ciudad de Oyo.Obatala no usaba tambores que anunciaran su presencia. En cambio vestía de un blanco tan absoluto y tan perfecto que todos lo reconocían a distancia por su brillo. Le llamaban «El rey vestido de blanco».Por eso, cuando su esposa supo que su marido quería partir de viaje para visitar a su amigo Shangó, su primera preocupación fue que la ropa de Obatala estuviera impecable. Sin embargo, esa noche tuvo un mal sueño.-Obatala, no deberías ir a Oyo -le dijo a la mañana siguiente a su marido. Soñé que tus prendas blancas no se podían limpiar. Las manchas parecían desaparecer cuando las sumergía en el agua, pero apenas se secaba la ropa, se notaban otra vez.-Pero ahora estás despierta y mi ropa está impecable -dijo Obatala. Y yo me voy a Oyo.Sin embargo, alguna duda le había quedado, porque decidió consultar a Orunmila, el orishá de las profecías.Orunmila arrojó sobre la bandeja unas nueces de palma y, al ver cómo caían, frunció el ceño.-No vayas, Obatala. La desgracia te espera en Oyo.-No puedo sospechar de mi amigo Shangó -dijo Obatala, enojado.Y vestido con sus blanquísimas prendas, comenzó a caminar hacia Oyo. Por el camino se encontró al orishá Eshu, que estaba sentado bajo un árbol junto a una vasija llena de aceite de palma.-Por favor, Obatala -le pidió. ¿Podrías ayudarme? Necesito que me pongas la vasija sobre la cabeza para poder llevármela. Yo no tengo bastante fuerza.Pero cuando Obatala levantó la vasija, unas gotas de aceite mancharon su ropa, de modo que tuvo que volver a su casa para cambiarse antes de reemprender el camino.Por segunda vez se encontró con Eshu. Ahora la vasija era más grande y el pobre Eshu parecía desesperado. Obatala, famoso por su generosidad y sus buenas acciones, lo ayudó una vez más. Por supuesto, volvió a mancharse con aceite y tuvo que volver a su casa.La tercera vez que se encontró en Eshu, la vasija de aceite era gigantesca.-Eshu, tendrás que disculparme, pero estoy un poco apurado -le dijo. Las manchas en su ropa lo tenían preocupado. Eran un mal presagio.-¿Te niegas a ayudarme? -gritó Eshu, enojadísimo.Eshu era famoso por las locuras que era capaz de hacer cuando lo dominaba la ira. Ahora, empujando con las dos manos el enorme recipiente, lo hizo caer, manchando más que nunca la blanca ropa de Obatala.Esta vez el creador de la humanidad decidió seguir adelante, aun con su ropa manchada de aceite. Caminó y caminó a la velocidad que solo un orishá puede darle a sus pasos. Hasta que, en las cercanías de la ciudad de Oyo, vio un hermosísimo caballo blanco que pastaba suelto entre un grupo de arbustos.«Este caballo solo puede ser de Shangó» pensó Obatala. «Se ha perdido y lo deben de estar buscando. Se lo llevaré de vuelta». Y tomando al caballo por la brida, siguió su camino.En ese momento apareció un grupo de servidores de Shangó que estaban buscando al caballo. Cuando vieron que Obatala lo tenía, se lanzaron sobre él y comenzaron a golpearlo brutalmente.-¡Este es el ladrón, que reciba su merecido! -gritaban.Golpeándolo sin parar, sin escucharlo, ni prestar atención a sus protestas, los criados llevaron a Obatala a la cárcel de Oyo y allí lo encerraron en un calabozo. Con su ropa toda sucia de aceite, ¿quién iba a creer que él era de verdad el famoso rey vestido de blanco?El tiempo pasaba y Obatala seguía encerrado. Shangó nada sabía de lo que había sucedido porque ninguno de sus servidores consideró que se tratara de un asunto de tanta importancia como para llegar al gran orishá. La bondad de Obatala estaba llegando a sus límites. Harto de ser maltratado, harto de que nadie lo escuchara, decidió que era hora de usar sus poderes. Y

A couple of weeks ago, you heard our episode with Ritesh Agarwal, the founder and Group CEO of OYO rooms. If you remember, he talked to me about the atmosphere at the organization after COVID hit.To put it simply, it was wartime inside OYO.Cash needed to be protected. Leadership had to be let go. The company completely changed.In the first hour of the conversation with Ritesh, who explained in detail what it took to come back from this near-death experience. We'd urge you to check out that episode.Anyway, we took a short break after the first hour. We stepped out, had a coffee, and chatted a bit. Which helped immensely, because once we stepped back inside the studio, the conversation turned…inwards. We got to reflecting. Retrospecting. How has Ritesh grown, and what has he learnt as a founder, as a CEO, as a leader…And something he said was really surprising.  Rohin asked him if he considered himself a wartime CEO or a peacetime one.With cool conviction, he said he's a peacetime CEO. With OYO being in war mode through all its years of difficulties, Ritesh could very well be considered a great wartime CEO.But when you'll listen to this episode, you'll know that Ritesh knows what kind of a CEO he is, because he is an extremely deliberate, reflective person. He's thought about every challenge and every opportunity that has come his way. And what he's learnt from it. Reflection is non-negotiable for a CEO, he says.In this episode – part 2 of our conversation with Ritesh Agarwal of OYO, he explains this. Why you must take time to reflect. When you should do it. And of course, the process at OYO to collectively reflect as an organisation. I think this is the perfect episode for us to wind down the year with, here at the First Principles podcast. Ritesh looks back on his decade as a young founder and CEO – how he's changed, and how his own mission has evolved. We talk about recognizing which opportunities to grab and which to pass up, and how to deal with regret when it comes. We now have chapters available for this episode on Spotify and Apple Podcasts! Click on any chapter you like to jump to the parts you want to listen to.This is episode 33 of First Principles with Ritesh Agarwal, Part 2—The Ken's fortnightly leadership podcast.Send in submissions for books recommendations, interesting reads, Silent Sunday pictures or songs for the First Principles newsletter here.

Welcome to Episode 30 of First Principles!We recorded this episode at Spacebot Studio, a new, sleek space overlooking the metro in IndiranagarOur guest, Ritesh, was already at the studio.Ritesh was asking the owners of the studio a bunch of questions: how big is this space? How many bookings do you get in a day? Are there other studios around in this location? And it's not surprising, because our guest for this episode is Ritesh Agarwal – the Founder and Group CEO of OYO. This even came up in our conversation. The rest of us saw a wonderful studio, but Ritesh saw a space with the potential to be utilized and monetized. He sees the world differently – as founders often do. For example, Ritesh explains how he sees the hospitality industry – in fact, the entire of India – as a space with a supply problem. The solution, he explains, is not in increasing or decreasing supply. It's in utilizing it. Changing the supply quality altogether. And if you go back and look at how Ritesh OYO was conceptualized and built – at age 19, by the way – you'll realize that this is the foundation of his business model. Across the conversation, his lens of the world became sharper and sharper. Ritesh answers all of my questions with very specific models and frameworks that he uses – but he's not the guy who leaves it at that.He breaks them down. He offers examples from his life, the journey of OYO and even from books he's read. And it makes sense because the first thing Ritesh says that he loves great questions!Across this episode, we also talk about:Why Ritesh loves being called the Chief Clarity OfficerWhat is OYO's unbeatable strengthThe three ways in which young folks can learn from the school of lifeAnd why Ritesh wears his naivety on his chestWe now have chapters available for this episode on Spotify and Apple!

Ep #621 (Hour #2) Of The Clay Edwards Show On 103.9 WYAB (10/24/23) 1. Hyundai and Kia vehicles are being stolen in Jackson an industrial level, the mayor and police chief make a crazy plea to the citizens to protect themselves from Jackson thugs steaking their vehicles. 2. We end up discussing a tiktok video from Baton Rouge that shows a large group of people having a pro Palestine rally, this conversation sends us down the rabbit hole of talking about WW3 and how America needed to stay out of these foreign wars. 3. We got some breaking news during the show about a shooting at a local OYO motel here in Jackson, so of course we had some fun with that.

Ritesh Agarwal was an entrepreneurial teen in India who loved to travel. So he created a travel search engine. One obstacle to growth was the subpar customer service provided by the local hotels. So he tried something novel: he helped hotels improve. He modernized their lightbulbs. Rewarded staff when customers gave high reviews. Etc. It worked. Hotel owners loved the new, higher occupancy. When Ritesh created a franchise option for them, they signed up. Today you can see his company’s name – OYO – on hotels all over the world, which led OYO to a multi-billion dollar valuation.
