Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Wednesday, February 5, 2025. This is Nelson John, let's get started. Despite India's solid track record of fiscal discipline and a narrowing fiscal deficit, international rating agencies like Moody's and Fitch remain cautious about upgrading India's sovereign rating. Currently, Fitch Ratings assigns India a 'BBB-' with a stable outlook, which is the lowest investment grade, suggesting good credit quality but vulnerability to adverse conditions. Similarly, Moody's and S&P rate India at 'Baa3' and 'BBB-', respectively. This contrasts with China's 'A+' and the US's 'AA+', indicating higher credit qualities and lower default risks. The hesitation to upgrade India's rating affects the cost of borrowing and investment attractiveness, crucial for economic growth, N Madhavan reports. Critics, including UNCTAD, argue that international rating agencies may be biased against emerging economies. Despite significant growth, robust financial systems, and strong foreign investor interest, India's rating has remained unchanged for two decades. India is set to develop its own AI chip, aiming to enhance its technological independence and global competitiveness. This initiative, led by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology in collaboration with the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-Dac) and the National e-Governance Division, focuses on creating a chip using the open-source 'Risc-V' architecture. The goal is to support academic researchers and startups in building foundational AI models, Shouvik Das reports. High-level discussions have involved not only Indian experts but also US Big Tech firms and Taiwan's TSMC, to craft a chip fully made in India by 2027, leveraging local talents and resources. This move is part of a broader strategy under the India AI Mission, aiming to establish a domestic chip production capability that reduces reliance on foreign technology, particularly in light of recent geopolitical tensions and supply chain vulnerabilities highlighted by US restrictions.Rashmi Saluja's tenure as chairperson at Religare Enterprises may be nearing an end amid a contentious takeover battle. Despite efforts to stabilize the company post-bankruptcy, about one-third of its investors have voted against her reappointment ahead of the upcoming AGM on February 7th. The Delhi High Court has also declined Saluja any interim relief to halt the AGM proceedings. Investors, including the Burman family who owns 25.1% of Religare, have expressed a desire for new management to steer the company towards growth. With 31.85% of shareholders, including financial firms and mutual funds, voting against her, Saluja's reappointment seems unlikely unless there is an unexpectedly high turnout in her favour from smaller shareholders. The National Medical Commission (NMC) is gearing up to elevate India's postgraduate medical education to global standards by forming Specialty Expert Committees (SEC) for each speciality. Priyanka Sharma spoke to Dr B. Srinivas, secretary at the NMC, who said that these committees will develop model curriculums, assess educational institutions, and address academic needs, aiming to standardize and improve the quality of speciality courses across the country. This initiative, highlighted in a letter to medical colleges reviewed by Mint, also involves these expert committees in handling student grievances and other speciality-specific requirements. The NMC has called for nominations of faculty members ready to join this effort, with a deadline for submissions set for within 15 days. The move comes as part of a broader effort to address the disproportionate doctor-patient ratios in India by boosting both graduate and postgraduate medical manpower. Wingify, started in 2009 in Delhi, has grown significantly, boasting a global customer base and robust revenue growth, reaching ₹288.61 crore in 2023-24. This bootstrapped startup's success caught private equity firm Everstone's eye, especially Wingify's self-sufficient growth and strong technology base. This acquisition aligns with Everstone's focus on technology-driven firms, following a similar investment in MediaMint, Shadma Shaikh reports. The deal not only marks a significant phase for Wingify but also stands out as a successful bootstrapped venture in the SaaS space, showcasing that startups can achieve substantial growth without external funding. This event is seen as a boost for the Indian SaaS ecosystem, reflecting a mature, profitable company making a significant impact globally.
Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Tuesday, January 28, 2025. This is Nelson John, let's get started. Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is stirring concerns in Maharashtra, with over 100 cases reported and a suspected death. This rare autoimmune disorder attacks the nervous system, sometimes leading to paralysis and severe respiratory issues. It's not contagious but typically follows infections or surgeries. Immediate hospitalization is often necessary for those severely affected. While there's no foolproof prevention due to its unclear causes, maintaining good hygiene and a healthy lifestyle helps mitigate risks. In India, GBS has been noted before, especially as a post-COVID complication, highlighting its potential severity. To tackle the current outbreak, the Central government has sent a specialist team to assist Maharashtra. The state is ramping up efforts to educate the public on maintaining hygiene and seeking prompt medical care for symptoms like muscle weakness. This proactive response aims to control the spread and provide necessary care to those affected. Priyanka Sharma explains what the GBS is, what are its symptoms and how to prevent it, in today's Primer. Infosys is contesting allegations from Cognizant that it stole trade secrets, arguing that the information Cognizant claims as proprietary is publicly accessible and widely known. The dispute, currently unfolding in a U.S. court, has forced Cognizant to clarify what specific trade secrets Infosys allegedly misappropriated. Infosys, in a motion filed this January, challenged Cognizant to specify its claims, highlighting that many workers in the healthcare and IT sectors are familiar with the software at issue. The conflict began when Cognizant accused Infosys of using confidential information related to its QNXT and Facets software products—acquired through its 2014 takeover of TriZetto—to enhance Infosys's own software solutions. Infosys has responded robustly, seeking to compel Cognizant to detail the supposed trade secrets and arguing that Cognizant's claims are overly broad and not legally tenable. Jas Bardia reports on the ongoing conflict. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's approach to the annual budget speeches since 2022 has evolved to focus more on a futuristic vision rather than literary embellishments. Unlike her predecessors, Sitharaman has opted out of quoting poets like Rabindra Nath Tagore and Shakespeare, shifting instead to a clear and direct style that reflects the developmental goals of the NDA government. This year, as she prepares for her eighth budget presentation on February 1, expectations are high for a speech that underscores India's aspirations to become the world's third-largest economy while addressing immediate challenges like inflation and unemployment. Gireesh Chandra Prasad writes about how, over the years, Sitharaman has refrained from quoting historical figures in her budget speeches and how it is likely to be the case this year as well. Young adults across Indian metros are increasingly shaping their spending habits to enhance their social media presence, often at significant financial cost. Mint's Shadma Shaikh spoke to 20 people in the 22 to 33 age group, all of whom acknowledged that their spending habits were largely aimed at raising their social media game. In cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru, it's becoming clear that a lot of young folks are tweaking their spending habits to boost their social media profiles. Take, for instance, a tech marketer from Bengaluru who splurged ₹19,000 on a Bryan Adams concert just for social media, even though he's not much of a traveler or a big music buff. It's all about crafting that perfect online image—even if it means racking up some debt. This trend isn't just about personal choices; it's shaping major business strategies too. A hefty slice of marketing budgets now fuels influencer campaigns that promise hefty growth, thanks to their ability to make anything from a beach vacation to the latest gadget seem essential. What's worrying is how this is playing out financially for the younger crowd. Financial advisors are seeing a shift: more young people are swiping their credit cards not for emergencies or investments but for that next big social media splash. From music festivals to designer gadgets, the urge to splurge is often amplified by clever marketing and the fear of missing out. The Indian government has announced plans to synchronize all clocks across the nation to the Indian Standard Time (IST), using locally developed atomic clocks for millisecond to nanosecond precision. This initiative, named 'One Nation, One Time,' aims to enhance the uniformity and accuracy of timekeeping, which is crucial for various sectors such as navigation, telecommunications, power grids, and banking. Historically, many of India's timekeeping systems have depended on U.S.-based Network Time Protocol servers. However, under the new rules drafted by the Department of Consumer Affairs in collaboration with the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), all software will need to be synchronized with India's own atomic clocks.

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, September 27, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started.Online brokerage firm Zerodha generated over ₹8,000 crore in revenue last fiscal year, with profits reaching ₹4,700 crore, according to founder Nithin Kamath. However, Kamath cautioned that the coming year might not be as bright, with a significant revenue drop on the horizon. Recent regulatory changes, aimed at protecting retail investors, are expected to hit brokerages hard. Abhinaba Saha delves into these new rules and their potential impact on both brokerages and retail investors.India's National Medical Commission (NMC), responsible for overseeing medical education, is grappling with internal conflicts among its four autonomous boards. Poor coordination has led to the cancellation of several public notices, prompting the NMC to seek intervention from the Union health ministry, sources told Mint's Priyanka Sharma. The issue came to light when the boards issued conflicting decisions while reviewing applications from medical colleges. In one instance, a college was penalized by one board while another approved an increase in its seat capacity. This inconsistency is raising alarm, especially in the wake of recent controversies, such as the NEET exam paper leak.Radisson Hotel Group is rapidly expanding its footprint in India, capitalizing on opportunities in both major cities and growing smaller towns. Nikhil Sharma, Radisson's managing director for India, told Varuni Khosla that while the country has 200,000 branded hotel rooms, there's still a significant gap between supply and demand. This imbalance is driving Radisson's aggressive growth strategy, which includes tapping into religious tourism markets with new properties in Ayodhya and Vrindavan. This move is part of a larger strategy that has already placed Radisson ahead of competitors like IHG and Hilton in India, with its 115 hotels generating around ₹4,000 crore in revenue. The group, which manages brands like Radisson Blu and Park Inn, has 80 more hotels under development as part of its broader expansion plan.The telecom department is exploring a major policy shift by potentially waiving the requirement for telcos to deposit bank guarantees for spectrum acquired before 2022. The move is part of the broader reforms in the telecom sector. Starting in 2024, companies will no longer need to provide these guarantees under the new rules. The potential waiver is backed by precedents set in 2017, when the government extended the payment period for spectrum purchases from 10 to 16 years and reduced interest on penalties.The recent wave of harassment allegations in the movie industry reveals that little has changed in Hindi, Bengali, and Malayalam cinema. Lata Jha highlights that this misconduct manifests in various ways, including demands for sexual favours, unwarranted attention on and off sets, unequal pay, and inadequate facilities for women's hygiene. The Hema committee report reinforced what many in the industry already knew—widespread misbehaviour and misconduct remain pervasive. In this piece, Lata delves into the industry's culture, the allegations, and the persistent lack of accountability within the system.
Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Thursday, September 5, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started. Indian equity markets fell on Wednesday. The benchmark Nifty50 index was down by 0.32 percent, while the Sensex dropped 0.25 percent. Just a few years ago, dining out was a special occasion—something you did to celebrate or treat yourself. Then the pandemic hit, and if you didn't feel like cooking, ordering in became the only option. This shift fundamentally changed consumer behaviour, particularly for fast-food diners. Suneera Tandon and Varuni Khosla report that quick-service restaurants like Domino's, McDonald's, and Pizza Hut are now struggling to draw customers back to their outlets. Dine-in sales remain under pressure, while competition in the delivery space has intensified. To entice customers off their couches, these chains are offering discounts and promotions to boost in-store demand. Tata Motors launched its popular EV, the Nexon, in 2020. Early buyers may now be considering selling their first-generation green cars. Alisha Sachdev brings encouraging news: the resale value of Indian EVs is outperforming their global counterparts. However, EVs still depreciate faster than petrol and diesel vehicles. Despite this, Alisha notes that as the EV market continues to mature and the availability of used electric vehicles grows, this depreciation gap is likely to shrink, potentially making electric mobility more accessible and appealing to a wider range of consumers.India's festival season, kicking off in early September and culminating with Diwali sometime in November, is a critical period for e-commerce players. It's traditionally marked by a surge in offers as consumers' buying appetite increases. This year, India's quick commerce sector is taking on e-commerce head-on during this busy time. Zomato is expanding its "dark stores" and introducing more consumer electronics categories to meet festive demand, while Tata-owned Big Basket has ventured into selling large appliances. Sowmya Ramasubramanian and Suneera Tandon report on the trend.Pharmaceutical companies have long been criticized for their aggressive marketing tactics aimed at doctors. A prime example is Dolo-650, which became the most prescribed drug during the pandemic in 2020. By 2022, however, Dolo's manufacturer, Micro Labs, was facing scrutiny from the tax department for allegedly offering ₹1,000 crore in freebies to doctors to promote the pain and fever reliever. Now, the government is tightening its focus on such ethically questionable practices, writes Priyanka Sharma. The Department of Pharmaceuticals, under the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, has mandated that companies disclose details of their spending on free samples, conferences, workshops, and other promotional activities, including specifics on sample distribution, event expenses, and recipient information.The brutal rape and murder of a junior doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College on 9 August shocked the entire nation. The capital of West Bengal—currently the only state led by a woman chief minister—has since been gripped by protests and unrest following the horrific crime. Mamata Banerjee, who has led the West Bengal government for 13 years and been an active politician for over four decades, now faces perhaps the toughest test of her career. Despite a history of leading protests against the state's previous Left regime, this tragedy has emerged as her most significant challenge yet. Mint's Romita Datta delves into how the Kolkata rape and murder has become a defining moment in Mamata Banerjee's political journey. Eating at a fast-food outlet may be a better bargain than ordering in EV resale value improving in India—but still less attractive than ICE siblings It's e-commerce versus quick commerce this festive season Govt targets drugmakers offering freebies to doctors to promote their medicines Bengal: Mamata Banerjee, who wrote the book on protests, faces her biggest test

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Wednesday, 21 August 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started. The Indian stock market saw solid buying on Tuesday, with key indices, the Sensex and the Nifty, closing up by half a per cent, driven by mostly positive global cues. The World Health Organization has sounded the alarm on Mpox, tagging it as a global health emergency. Originally identified in the tropical rainforests of Africa, this virus, which we used to call monkeypox, was detected in humans back in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Mint's Priyanka Sharma explains that the disease manifests symptoms similar to smallpox, such as skin lesions and flu-like symptoms, and spreads through close contact, making prolonged interactions, especially of a sexual nature, high-risk scenarios. In terms of preparation, India is on alert, with enhanced surveillance at international borders and readiness in specific healthcare facilities to manage potential cases. Despite this, the situation calls for heightened vigilance and public awareness, especially among high-risk groups including newborns, pregnant women, and individuals with compromised immune systems. The recent turmoil in Bangladesh has put thousands of Indian students in a tough spot, stirring anxieties about their safety and academic futures. Over 19,000 Indians, including 9,000 students, are currently stranded amidst escalating violence, with many worrying about lost academic years and severed communications due to frequent internet shutdowns. This situation echoes students' plight during Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Due to lower fees than that charged by Indian private colleges, Bangladesh was fast becoming a popular educational destination for Indian students, writes Sanghamitra Kar. As of now, violence continues to unsettle Bangladesh, leaving Indian students uncertain if they'll return to their chosen universities. India's smartphone exports really took off last year, hitting over $15 billion, thanks in part to Apple ramping up production here. Each month in early 2024, we were shipping out smartphones worth about $1.6 billion! While that's impressive, it's worth noting that India is still playing catch-up to manufacturing behemoths like China. This increase is largely attributed to the government's production-linked incentive scheme initiated in 2020. Mint's partners at HowIndiaLives.com write about how, despite this growth, India remains primarily an assembly hub rather than a full-fledged manufacturing giant like China, heavily importing the components required to build smartphones. Businesses are upgrading their old PCs due to the end of support for Windows 10 and growing AI demands, leading to a significant increase in PC sales across India. The latest data from the International Data Corporation shows a nearly 4 per cent rise in commercial PC sales in the June quarter, the largest increase since 2022, driven by India's IT sector gearing up for a revival. Notably, Apple reported a 65 per cent increase in enterprise Mac sales in the same period, with overall PC shipments in India up 7 per cent year-on-year to 3.39 million units. Mint's Shouvik Das reports on the rising demand for computers boosted by the $265 billion Indian IT industry. IndiGo has decided to go fancy and introduce a business class in its Airbus 321 planes. This is exciting news for anyone following their journey from a low-cost carrier to now eyeing those premium seats. This isn't just about more legroom and comfy seats—it's about capturing a slice of the lucrative business traveller market. Why the shift, you might wonder? Mint's Mihir Mishra and Anu Sharma might have the answer. IndiGo is looking to beef up its earnings per seat rather than just packing more people in. They're setting the stage for bigger things, like flying longer international routes with their upcoming Airbus models. This strategic shift could really shake things up, making IndiGo a go-to for not just budget travellers but also for a crowd that wouldn't mind a bit more pampering on their travels.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Monday, August 5, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started: Toor dal, a staple across India and a vital protein source for the nation's millions of vegetarians, is facing a crisis. Unpredictable weather patterns—from droughts in Karnataka to heavy rains in Maharashtra—have severely impacted production. Compounding the issue, many farmers are shifting to more lucrative crops, such as rice and soybean, leading to a significant drop in toor cultivation. Considering that less than 10% of toor farms are irrigated, these crops are highly vulnerable to weather fluctuations. The surge in prices by 60% between 2022 and 2024, also underscores that while rice and wheat have managed to adapt to climate changes, toor hasn't. The situation has forced India to rely heavily on imports, with significant quantities now coming from distant countries such as Mozambique and Myanmar. This dependence has introduced risks, as was seen by recent events where traders from Mozambique held shipments hostage. Mint's Sayantan Bera explores this pressing issue affecting Indian kitchens. Now, onto our next topic: In response to the NEET scandal and exam paper leaks, the Union government is set to increase undergraduate medical seats by 3,000 from the next academic year, bringing the total to 115,000. This move includes approving 28 new private medical colleges, significantly boosting India's medical education capacity, as endorsed by the National Medical Commission. To ensure transparency and address past controversies, the process for adding seats and establishing new colleges will be closely monitored. Mint's Priyanka Sharma reports that officials have implemented rigorous checks and physical inspections for all applications to prevent bias and fraud, aiming for a more secure admissions process.The third news highlight involves a survey of 15 economists and treasury heads conducted by Mint. It revealed that the Reserve Bank of India's Monetary Policy Committee is expected to maintain a status quo on policy rates at 6.5% at its meeting on August 8, despite speculation about rate cuts, particularly in light of recent global central bank actions. From what economists are predicting, it looks like the RBI isn't ready to change gears just yet. All 15 experts consulted by Mint expect the MPC to maintain its current stance of "withdrawal of accommodation”.In a job market simmering with competition, a staggering 95% of employees are eyeing a job switch post-appraisals, according to the latest Mint+Shine study. The April-June Talent Insights Report, which surveyed 3,000 job seekers and employers, revealed that a lacklustre appraisal season has intensified the job search activity, with 78% finding the environment overly competitive. Approximately 89% of employees are demanding clearer performance metrics during appraisals, while 32% consider compensation as a key factor for their decision to stay.put.Two weeks ago, the tech world watched as Google's parent company, Alphabet, proposed buying cloud security startup Wiz for $23 billion. This bid would represent Alphabet's largest acquisition to date, surpassing its previous major purchases, including the $12.5 billion Motorola deal. Yet, despite the attractive offer, which valued Wiz at nearly double its recent valuation, the startup chose to walk away, leaving the deal unresolved. This decision was not solely about the money; it also highlighted deeper trends and tensions within the tech industry. Mint's partners at HowIndiaLives.com present the big picture behind Google's largest failed acquisition. We'd love to hear your feedback on this podcast.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Thursday, July 18, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started:The Indian stock markets BSE and NSE remained closed on Wednesday on the account of Muharram.The upcoming Union budget on 23 July is set to unveil a new initiative aimed at boosting the domestic production of medical devices, mirroring an existing program for pharmaceuticals. This move is intended to enhance self-sufficiency in medical equipment, potentially lowering healthcare costs. While the specifics of the financial backing remain under wraps, ongoing discussions signal a strong government focus on enhancing the sector's global standards. Currently, India's medical device market is predominantly composed of disposables and implants, which contributed to an $11 billion industry in 2022, accounting for about 1.5% of the global market. Projections suggest this could expand to $50 billion by 2030. Mint's Priyanka Sharma reports that the proposed scheme is expected to resemble the Revamped Pharmaceuticals Technology Upgradation Assistance Scheme launched earlier this year. The scheme supports technological advancements in the pharma sector through financial incentives.A new piece of legislation from the Karnataka government made news on Wednesday. The now-halted bill required that 50% of management and 75% of non-management roles in the private sector be reserved for local residents. Local residents are defined under the bill as individuals born in Karnataka or have lived in the state for at least 15 years. Being able to speak Kannada is also mandatory under this bill. The pause came after this policy shift was being seen as a serious challenge, particularly to the IT sector, which is a major contributor to the state's economy. The potential impact on these sectors includes a decrease in investments and a possible exodus of companies to other regions with less restrictive employment laws. Industry bodies like Nasscom even expressed deep concerns, predicting that such protectionist measures could deter global firms looking to invest in the state. Mint's Devina Sengupta explains how the now-paused piece of legislation could have impacted Karnataka's position in the race to become the country's biggest tech hub.Guess what tech startups can do without? A Chief Technology Officer. Major tech-driven companies like Zomato, Healthify, Swiggy and others are reconsidering the necessity of this senior executive role. Mint's Mansi Verma reports that instead of hiring new CTOs, these firms are redistributing responsibilities to existing team members or leaving the position vacant altogether. So what's causing this shift? Firstly, the cost of maintaining such a high-level position is substantial. CTO compensation packages often include hefty salaries and stock options, which can be financially burdensome. Additionally, internal promotions and reallocation of duties are proving effective. Companies are finding that empowering existing staff can maintain momentum and innovation without the need for a dedicated CTO. Despite this, an absence of the CTO could pose challenges, especially for companies relying on cutting-edge technology. The impacts of climate change are increasingly visible and distressing, ranging from severe floods to prolonged droughts. These events not only disrupt lives but also foreshadow significant economic turmoil. We're looking at potential drops or fluctuations in agricultural yields, which could lead to persistent food price inflation. Additionally, the severity of monsoon-related coastal flooding is likely to increase. In this article, part of Mint's special series of pre-budget stories, former Minister of State for Finance Jayant Sinha talks about how India's goal of net zero emissions can be reached through three steps: legislation, emission trading and capital mobilisation. Once synonymous with inefficiency, public sector undertakings or PSUs have transformed into significant wealth generators. In 2023-24, the 56 listed PSUs in the BSE PSU index recorded a combined profit of over ₹5 trillion, an all-time high. This surge is partly attributed to the government's emphasis on enhancing India's infrastructure, with capital expenditure rising dramatically over the past decade. Yet, this remarkable performance raises questions. Are we witnessing a sustainable growth trajectory, or is this another market bubble driven by government spending and sector-wide euphoria? Investors should consider whether they are chasing short-term gains or genuinely investing in long-term growth. While PSUs currently show strong performance, the underlying risk of a sector-driven bubble looms, suggesting caution in an overheated market. Today's Long Story by Mint's Abhishel Mukherjee focuses on PSUs listed on the Dalal Street, and whether investors should continue investing. We'd love to hear your feedback on this podcast.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Thursday, June 13, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started: Indian equity benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, surged on Wednesday to hit fresh highs, driven by heavyweights RIL, HCL Tech, and HDFC Bank. However, by the end of the session, the indices came off their day's highs and closed with mild gains. N. Chandrababu Naidu was sworn in as the 18th chief minister of Andhra Pradesh yesterday. Naidu's term begins under challenging conditions, as he inherits a financially strained state that has been largely overlooked industrially. His Telugu Desam Party (TDP), along with its National Democratic Alliance (NDA) partners, secured a sweeping victory, capturing 164 out of 175 seats in the state assembly. During his campaign, Naidu promised to enhance governance and kickstart economic development, aiming to revive industrial activity and generate two million jobs. However, the financial reality of Andhra Pradesh could complicate these plans. The state is grappling with a high debt level—44% of its GDP—and its finances are stretched thin, primarily going towards revenue expenditures rather than building productive assets. This fiscal strain makes the ambitious welfare promises and the revival of the Amaravati capital project, initially estimated to cost ₹50,000 crore, particularly challenging. Mint's senior editor N. Madhavan explains the challenges Naidu faces as he takes over from Jagan Mohan Reddy as the CM of Andhra Pradesh. During the recent Lok Sabha elections, many voters, especially in urban areas, seemed reluctant to visit their polling booths. The Election Commission highlighted this trend, noting that urban voters were particularly hesitant. Ultimately, only about 65.8% of eligible voters cast their ballots, down from 67.2% in 2019. In some regions like Nagaland and Manipur, turnout significantly decreased, while Jammu and Kashmir saw an increase. Why does this matter? Niti Kiran from Mint's data team explains through charts and maps. Lower turnouts can sometimes indicate voter satisfaction with the current government, which appeared to be the case in this election. The National Democratic Alliance held more seats in areas with lower voter turnout. However, it's not just about the numbers—it's about who shows up, or rather, who doesn't. Metros saw a sharper decline in turnout compared to rural regions. Despite this, the overall gender gap in voting was virtually non-existent, similar to the previous election. Women turned out in higher numbers than men in nearly 20 states. The reasons behind voter participation or apathy can vary widely from state to state, influencing everything from local policy to national politics. India is on the verge of significant changes to its organ transplant policies, aiming to address the massive shortfall between the supply and demand of organs. The Union government is considering allowing organ exchanges between unrelated individuals to bridge the gap when blood groups within families do not match, potentially shortening the long wait times endured by patients. Currently, India sees a stark contrast between the need and the actual transplants performed annually, with only 6,000 kidney transplants against a requirement of about 200,000, and even fewer heart transplants, with only 10 to 15 done yearly. One significant move under consideration is the introduction of "swap" donations, where families could exchange organs with one another if they are compatible, a practice currently not allowed for non-relatives. Additionally, the government is in talks with the insurance regulator to extend health insurance coverage to organ donors, who are presently excluded from most health insurance plans. Mint's Priyanka Sharma reports. India's economy is showing signs of resilience in the early part of fiscal year 2025, with industrial activity picking up and retail inflation slightly easing. Mint's Rhik Kundu reports that inflation dipped to 4.75% in May, the lowest in a year, aided by slower increases in food prices. Despite this, food inflation has consistently stayed above 8% since November, largely the result of uneven and below-normal monsoon rains in 2023, which hit India's crop production. The Reserve Bank of India has maintained the repo rate at 6.5% since last February, cautiously waiting for inflation to stabilize closer to its 4% target before considering any rate changes. On the industrial front, output rose by 5% in April, supported by growth across the manufacturing, mining, and electricity sectors. Consumer durables saw a particular surge, likely boosted by rural spending and seasonal purchases. Boeing, the US aerospace giant, is on a mission to regain trust following several unsettling incidents involving its planes. Recent problems, such as the uncontrolled decompression on an Alaska Airlines flight and stuck rudder pedals on a United Airlines flight, have intensified scrutiny on the company. Top executives from airlines like United and Emirates are closely monitoring the situation. They believe Boeing needs to return to its roots—prioritizing solid engineering and quality over financials. They remain hopeful but cautious, expecting Boeing to improve its performance. Mint's aviation correspondent Anu Sharma reports on the company's plan to enhance its safety and quality standards, including increased workforce training and streamlined processes to prevent future issues.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Tuesday, May 21, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started.No stock market updates from us today as the markets remained shut on Monday as Mumbai went to the polls.Yesterday, Iran's interior minister confirmed that the country's leader, Ebrahim Raisi, had died in a helicopter crash that also killed the country's foreign minister. We invited Elizabeth Roche, an associate professor at Jindal University, to write about the implications of this tragedy. Roche also answers what's next for Iran, and how this will affect India, the Middle East, and the West.A couple of weeks ago, a research paper by Banaras Hindu University sparked widespread worries among Indians. The paper said a significant number of people faced adverse side-effects after taking Covaxin, the indigenously developed covid vaccine. Bharat Biotech, which developed the vaccine, brushed off the concerns, pointing to other studies that proved the vaccine's safety record. Now, the government is stepping in to dismiss any concerns: the Indian Council of Medical Sciences said that BHU's study was poorly designed, and had no control group of unvaccinated individuals to compare with. Priyanka Sharma writes that the participants were contacted by telephone, and no physical examination was conducted. This ought to put Covaxin users at ease.The Reserve Bank of India has reprimanded a host of financial entities lately, from Paytm to Kotak Mahindra Bank and Bank of Baroda. Under governor Shaktikanta Das, the banking regulator is doing its best to whip every lender into shape. Prior to Das, Raghuram Rajan was at the helm. His goal was cleaning up banks' balance sheets, while Das wants to ensure better governance. But as Shayan Ghosh writes, the way the RBI has been going about this is interesting: it is now not afraid of taking big decisions. Earlier, the central bank relied on fines and warnings. Today, it is cancelling banking licences and preventing companies from taking on new customers — essentially hurting the core of their business. Shayan takes a deep dive into the RBI's practices, and why it's resorting to such measures to protect citizens.If you go to buy an electric vehicle, you'll realise that one big advantage EVs have over their fossil fuel-counterparts is that they don't carry any road tax. For example, in Karnataka, the road tax for petrol cars can be up to 17 percent of the car's price. This is an incentive from the government for companies and buyers to go green. But you don't have to electrify yourself fully to get discounts from the government. Take for example, ethanol-powered cars. Alisha Sachdev reports that union road minister Nitin Gadkari expressed interest in lowering the taxes on ethanol and ethanol-blend cars from anywhere between 2 and 14 percent. This would significantly lower the cost of cars that use either pure ethanol or a blend of ethanol and petrol, called flex-fuel cars. While flex-fuel cars aren't yet produced in India, Gadkari claims they pollute even less than EVs. In the battle between electric and petrol, ethanol seems to have gained the political upper hand.It's a good time to be a premium D2C company. Brands such as bespoke apparel maker Bombay Shirt Company, luggage maker Mokobara, and organic dairy startup Akshay Kalpa have raised funds from some of India's largest venture capital firms in the recent past. Sowmya Ramasubramanian speaks to investors who are bullish on this segment, as they see an increasing number of people willing to pay premium prices. Convenience plays a role, too. Sowmya writes that these products are more likely to be available on quick commerce apps than legacy brands. She also writes about the reality of affluent consumers, and how big an audience such brands can actually target.We'd love to hear your feedback on this podcast.

In this International Women's Day special episode, MBM's Mariyam Haider is in conversation with the team at LedBy Foundation - India's first leadership incubator that focuses on the professional development of Muslim women. Deepanjali Lahiri is the Chief Operating Officer and Fatema Chiba is the Program Manager at LedBy, which has been running training, mentoring programmes and fellowships to support young Muslim women in India enter entrepreneurial and corporate workspaces. In this episode, Deepanjali and Fatema talk about their personal and professional experiences that have shaped their understanding of the challenges that Muslim women face. Fatema highlights what growing up as the only Muslim student felt like and how working with an educational non-profit enabled a closer understanding of the way gender, caste and class barriers impact students' aspirations and professional outlooks. Deepanjali shares how she had not hired a single Muslim woman candidate in her years of working across IT, retail, and FMCG sectors and the differences between multinationals and Indian companies when it comes to diversity, equity and inclusion. We also discuss the current state of Muslim women participation within India's formal and informal sectors, the challenges that structural inequities impose on women and how diverse are the career needs and visions for Muslim women in urban versus rural parts. This MBM episode also offers a glimpse of the long journey that Indian workplaces have to make towards religious diversity, inclusion and representation across all levels of management and leadership. Finally, we talk about Seattle becoming the first American city to add caste to its anti-discrimination laws and if there is hope for similar changes within Indian workspaces in the coming times. Notes related to the conversationThe Hiring Bias Study conducted by LedBy Foundation assessed Muslim women employment in entry-level positions. Main findings as reported in the study:* ‘The net discrimination rate was 47.1%, as the Hindu woman profile (Priyanka Sharma) received 208 positive responses, while the Muslim woman profile (Habiba Ali) received half of that (103). This was evident across industries.* Recruiters were more cordial to the Hindu candidate; 41.3% of the recruiters had connected with Priyanka over phone calls, while only 12.6% spoke with Habiba over a call.* North India had a lower discrimination rate (40%) compared to jobs located in West (59%) and South India (60%).'If you find this or any past episode interesting, please do share it with your friends, family and social groups, and rate or review it wherever you listen to podcasts.

It's that time of the year again, when cloud native enthusiasts and professionals assemble to discuss all things Kubernetes. KubeCon+CloudNativeCon 2023 is being held later this month in Detroit, October 24-28. In this latest edition of The New Stack Makers podcast, we spoke with Priyanka Sharma, general manager of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation — which organizes KubeCon —and CERN computer engineer and KubeCon co-chair Ricardo Rocha. For this show, we discussed what we can expect from the upcoming event. This year, there will be a focus on Kubernetes in the enterprise, Sharma said. "We are reaching a point where Kubernetes is becoming the de facto standard when it comes to container orchestration. And there's a reason for it. It's not just about Kubernetes. Kubernetes spawned the cloud native ecosystem and the heart of the cloud native movement is building fast, resiliently observable software that meets customer needs. So ultimately, it's making you a better provider to your customers, no matter what kind of business you are." Of this year's topics, security will be a big theme, Rocha said. Technologies such as Falco and Cilium will be discussed. Linux kernel add-on eBPF is popping up in a lot of topics, especially around networking. Observability and hybrid deployments also weigh heavily on the agenda. "The number of solutions [around Hybrid] are quite large, so it's interesting to see what people come up with," he said. In addition to KubeCon itself, this year there are a number of co-located events, held during or before the conference itself. Some of them hosted by CNCF while others are hosted by other companies such as Canonical. They include the Network Application Day, BackstageCon, CloudNative eBPF Day, CloudNativeSecurityCon, CloudNative WASM Day, Data-on-Kubernetes Day, EnvoyCon, gRPCConf, KNativeCon, Spinnaker Summit, Open Observability Day, Cloud Native Telco Day, Operator Day, The Continuous Delivery Summit, among others. What's amazing is not only the number of co-located events, but the high quality of talks being held there. "Co-located events are a great way to know what's exciting to folks in the ecosystem right now," Sharma said. "Cloud native has really become the scaffolding of future progress. People want to build on cloud native, but have their own focus areas." WebAssembly (WASM) is a great example of this. "In the beginning, you wouldn't have thought of WebAssembly as part of the cloud native narrative, but here we are," Sharma said. "The same thinking from professionals who conceptualized cloud native in the beginning are now taking it a step further." "There's a lot of value in co-located events, because you get a group of people for a longer period in the same room, focusing on one topic," Rocha said. Other topics discussed in the podcast include the choice of Detroit as a conference hub, the fun activities that CNCF have planned in between the technical sessions, surprises at the keynotes, and so much more! Give it a listen.
Today we talk to Priyanka Sharma (E.D. at the Cloud Native Computing Foundation) about all things KubeCon Europe 2022. We start with Gerhard's favourite subject - Priyanka's Happy Hour - and then we switch focus to the conference. For many, this will be the first in-person KubeCon since 2019. As for Gerhard, he is not sure that he remember how airports work. If he succeeds, he looks forward to meeting some of you in Valencia. If not, send help.

Priyanka Sharma has had a long career in tech. After graduating from Stanford in 2009, she worked at Google in the Online Partnerships Group, was a technical consultant where she onboarded new DoubleClick clients, and acted as interim Product Manager for internal insights tools. From there she moved to OutRight, leading the promotional launch for the GoDaddy Silicon Valley office, and continued by leading the Outright product integration into the GoDaddy sales team catalog. Priyanka noticed that her business partner had built a time tracking application for himself, and realized it might be useful addition to a developer tool kit when tracking time spent on specific project code. By this rather unlikely set of events, she ended up getting into developer tools. Eventually the plugins were used by over 100,000 developers. It was featured at high visibility events such as TechCrunch Disrupt, and was chosen for Y Combinator. There were challenges every day, as there is with any start-up, whether it comes to fundraising or getting the public visibility a company needs in order to get traction in the market. Getting into Y Combinar was a pivotal moment, forcing the team to come to terms with what it would take to work together, to make a real commitment to the project together, as a team. What looked great on the outside, however, didn't account for the personality dynamics at play inside the company. It was decision time. From the Linux Foundation office in New York City, this is “The Untold Stories of Open Source”. Each week we choose an open source project or a person behind a popular open source project, to uncover its untold stories. If you work with open source, and you do whether you know it or not, you're in the right place.
Last week, the country of Spain dropped its mandate for residents and visitors to wear masks, to ward off further infections of the Coronavirus. So, for this year's KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe conference, to be held May 16 - 20th of May in Valencia, Spain, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation dropped its own original mandate that attendees wear masks, a rule that had been in place for its other recent conferences.This turned out to be the wrong decision, CNCF admitted a week later. A lot of people who already bought tickets were upset at this laxing of the rules for the conference, which could put them in greater danger of contacting the disease.So the CNCF put the mandate back in place, and offered refunds for those who felt Spain's own decision would put them in harm's way. CNCF will even send you a week's worth of N95 masks if you request them.So, long story short: bring a mask to KubeCon. And, as always, it is still a requirement to show proof of vaccination and temperature checks will be made as well.Tricky business running a conference in this time, no?In this latest episode of The New Stack Makers podcast, we take a look at what to expect from this year's KubeCon EU 2022. Our guests for this podcast are Priyanka Sharma, the executive director of CNCF, and Ricardo Rocha, who is a KubeCon co-chair and computer engineer at CERN. TNS Editor-in-chief Joab Jackson hosted this podcast.We recorded this podcast prior to the discussion around masks, and at the time, Sharma said that the CNCF based the mask ruling on Spain's own country-wide mandates. "So we are being very cautious with the health requirements for the event," she said.The conference team is also keeping an eye on Russia's aggressive moves in the Ukraine, though it is unlikely that the chaos will reach all the way to Spain. Still, "this is why it's essential to always have the hybrid option .. [to] have the virtual elements sorted," Sharma said.As the CNCF flagship conference, KubeCon brings together managers and users of a wide variety of cloud native technologies, including containerd, CoreDNS, Envoy, etcd, Fluentd, Harbor, Helm, Istio, Jaeger, Kubernetes, Linkerd, Open Policy Agent, Prometheus, Rook, Vitess, Argo, CRI-O, Crossplane, dapr, Dragonfly, Falco, Flagger, Flux, gRPC, KEDA, SPIFFE, SPIRE, and Thanos, and many many more. Most have been featured on TNS at one time or another.In this podcast, we also discuss what to expect from the virtual sessions at the conference, what to do in Valencia, the current state of Kubernetes, and we get some unofficial picks from Sharma and Rocha as to what keynotes not miss and what sessions to attend."The virtual option is great," Rocha said. "But I think the in-person conferences have have their own value. And there's a lot to be to be gained about meeting people directly and exchanging ideas and going to these events on the side of the conference as well."
Triple-negative breast cancer is the rarest and most aggressive type of breast cancer. Tune in to hear from one of the leading researchers studying this type of cancer, Dr. Priyanka Sharma. Also joining us will be Cynthia Newsome, an NBC Action News anchor in Kansas City who is also a triple-negative breast cancer patient.
It's that time of the year again, when we gather to discuss all matters related to Kubernetes and the other assorted tooling necessary to make cloud native computing happen.KubeCon+CloudNativeCon will be held in Los Angeles next month, October 11 -15.A key difference at this year's event — the first onsite event from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation since the beginning of the pandemic — is that the flagship cloud native conference will offer a much more significant virtual experience for those unable to travel to the venue in L.A..The virtual aspect of this year's KubeCon+CloudNativeCon “is expected to continue indefinitely,” Priyanka Sharma, general manager, CNCF said in this edition of The New Stack Makers podcast. Sharma was joined by conference co-chair Jasmine James, who is the Twitter developer experience lead and manager for engineering effectiveness. They discussed this year's schedule and agenda, how it will all compare to KubeCon+CloudNativeCon of years past and general cloud native trends. TNS Editor-In-Chief, Joab Jackson, hosted this episode of The New Stack Makers.
In conversation with Priyanka Sharma, Senior Manager - Marketing & Comms & Tarusha Mittal, COO, Co-founder, Oropocket
When Dr. Priyanka Sharma's father's chemical engineering company in Illinois kept getting phone calls asking if it performed industrial hemp extraction, she flew to Colorado to learn more about the ascendant CBD industry. They were floored by how many consumers said they used CBD and other cannabinoids for wellness and saw a huge opportunity. In this episode of Seed to CEO, Priyanka talks with MJBiz CEO Chris Walsh about how Kazmira – the company she and her husband founded and now serve as co-CEOs for - became one of the CBD industry's leading extraction firms. She shares: How to leverage scientific expertise to create advantage-winning innovations. How their involvement in every aspect of the company's creation helped them understand and operate it better. Tips to steer a cannabis company through confusion wrought by a lack of clarity on federal regulations. Who is Priyanka Sharma? Priyanka and her husband co-founded Watkins, Colorado-based Kazmira, a large-scale manufacturer of cannabinoids from industrial hemp, in 2017. Before launching Kazmira, Priyanka earned a doctorate in chemical engineering from the University of Illinois Chicago and has published extensively about molecular modeling and its application in industrial biotechnology. That scientific prowess has led to several extraction innovations that have helped make Kazmira a leader in the cannabis space.

Priyanka Sharma, General Manager of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, tell how the open-source group has helped mainstream IT organizations adopt cloud and container technologies, agreed on standards despite competitive differences and how to sell open-source software to the prototypical "pointy-haired boss."Continue Reading → The post FIR B2B #147: Marketing Lessons From the Open Source World With Priyanka Sharma appeared first on FIR Podcast Network.
In this episode of The New Stack Makers podcast, hosted by Joab Jackson, managing editor for The New Stack, we speak two of the fabled conference's key organizers about what to expect and what the organizers' goals are: Priyanka Sharma, general manager for CNCF and Stephen Augustus, engineering director and head of open source at Cisco. This is no business-as-usual KubeCon conference, of course. Last year's KubeCon EU was cancelled just a few weeks before the event was scheduled to take place. Then, many question marks remained during the early days of the pandemic about not only the future of conferences but how workers in the IT industry would continue to live and work. As it turns out, this year's event is virtual, of course, and at the very least, there is no shortage of talks and events. All told, for KubeCon, experts from organizations including Adobe, Apple, CERN, Nvidia and OVHcloud will deliver more than 100 sessions, keynotes, lightning talks, and breakout sessions. There will also be more than 60 sessions hosted by project maintainers – spanning beginner-level introductions, end-user case studies and technical deep dives.

Accurics sponsored this podcast. Who doesn't love hotcakes? And to make them right, you need to wait until the batter starts to bubble up before you flip them. Immutable infrastructure management and related security challenges are also “bubbling up” these days, as many organizations make the shift to cloud native environments, with containerized, serverless and other layers. In this The New Stack Analysts podcast, TNS founder and publisher Alex Williams asked served up pancakes with KubeCon attendees who joined him for a “stack” at the “Virtual Pancake Breakfast and Podcast” while they offered their deep perspectives on what is at stake as immutable infrastructure security and other related concerns take hold. The guests joining the virtual breakfast were Om Moolchandani, co-founder and CTO for Accurics, Rosemary Wang, developer advocate for HashiCorp, Krishna Bhagavathula, CTO, for the NBA (who also brought his own L.A.

Kubernetes is becoming boring and that's a good thing — it's what's on top of Kubernetes that counts. In this The New Stack Analysts podcast, TNS Founder & Publisher Alex Williams asked KubeCon attendees to join him for a short “stack” at our Virtual Pancake & Podcast to discuss “What's on your stack?” The podcast featured guest speakers Janakiram MSV, principal analyst, Janakiram & Associates, Priyanka Sharma, general manager, CNCF, Patrick McFadin, chief evangelist for Apache Cassandra and vice president, developer relations, DataStax and Bill Zajac, regional director of solution engineering, Dynatrace. The group passed the virtual syrup and talked Kubernetes, which may be stateless, but also means there's plenty of room for sides.

With containers comes a level of agility never before experienced in the world of business. In seconds, administrators can roll out deployments for a multitude of services. And when those businesses need to scale those containers, they can turn to Docker Swarm or Kubernetes. But what happens when even a standard container workflow can't keep up with the ever-growing demand of business? You'd be hard-pressed to find a more efficient means of deploying and scaling a container cluster than that found in Kubernetes. And although that may very well be true, it doesn't mean the development cycle can't be improved. Enter GitOps GitOps is a method of workflow that was conceptualized by “everyone who successfully did infrastructure-as-code … is the true creator of the concept of GitOps.” (according to Priyanka Sharma, Director of Technical Evangelism at GitLab). However, ask anyone in the know and they will immediately say that Weaveworks wrote the book on this new workflow.
GitLab has been very busy recently expanding on its leading software repository manager for DevOps to underpin its customers' continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) efforts. GitLab is also a very transparent company and actively communicates lessons it has learned along the way firsthand to better support its customers. As a case in point, Priyanka Sharma, director of technical evangelism at GitLab who serves on the board of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), recently surprised many by describing in a recent The New Stack blog post how GitLab began its CD journey without first completely shifting its underlying IT infrastructure to Kubernetes first. “We're in the process of moving to Kubernetes, and we need to deploy even more frequently than we have in the past as we increase the velocity of feature development,” Sharma wrote. “But instead of modernizing completely with Kubernetes and then starting CD, we have opted to push our existing CI/CD system to the limit by using our preexisting legacy tools — and a lot of smarts.” In this episode of The New Stack Makers podcast hosted by Alex Williams, founder and editor in chief of The New Stack, Sharma further discussed how GitLab has sought to not necessarily opt for necessarily the latest-and-greatest tools sets in its move to CD. Instead, the focus has been on finding the most direct path while maintaining the investments in and support of GitLab's legacy systems. “We're now in a place where we will start slowly moving to canaries because now we're maxed out what we could do with this legacy system,” Sharma said.

Successful relationships are founded on give and take. You may be thinking that partnering with a non-profit organization is all give and no take. Think again. GitLab’s Director of Technical Evangelist, Priyanka Sharma, fills us in on the benefits of partnering with a nonprofit in your industry. In this episode, we also cover open-source ecosystems, measuring alliance success, telling a meaningful story, and more.

In this week’s episode, host Abhinandan Sekhri is joined by Madhu Trehan, Manisha Pande, and investigative journalist Josy Joseph.The podcast kicks off with Joseph talking about the ₹1,000-crore civil defamation suit that Naresh Goyal of Jet Airways filed against him after the release of his book, A Feast of Vultures: The Hidden Business of Democracy in India. The book, he says, is a product of 15 years of investigation into government records available in the public domain. In response to Abhinandan’s question about what he thought of the coverage of the Jet Airways crisis, he says, “I think the Jet Airways collapse and Naresh Goyal to me in many ways capture the crisis of Indian democracy...the crisis that we see when you have the Prime Minister of the country on a daily basis assaulting the basic constitutional commitment to scientific temperament.” He also believes that our country is not an imperfect democracy, rather a "democracy in crisis".The panel also discusses Narendra Modi’s interview with The Indian Express. Manisha says, “[It is] one of his best interviews that I have read...you really get a sense of this guy and he has so much disdain for the media, every answer is a potshot at the media...in that one interview you really get an insight into how much he hates the media.” Madhu also speaks of Modi's "shenpa" and why he needs to get over it”.The panel also talks about the centrality of Mani Shankar Aiyar in the political discourse despite his negligible impact on Indian politics. They also deconstruct the implications of Priyanka Sharma’s arrest on free speech. Joseph says the lack of codification of law has to be tackled urgently to prevent a breakdown of institutions. Manisha says, “At least [journalists] should have a standard understanding of what constitutes free speech and we should push back every time a case like this comes."They also talk about a potential rethinking of the BJP’s extremist politics in light of their response to Pragya Singh Thakur’s recent comment on Nathuram Godse.For this and more, tune in!

This Episode is just me ranting about a really sad event in Indian history. It's the story of a pattern of behavior of the Indian supreme court to censor speech in the name of their moral interpretations, over stepping the constitutional role given to them of the interpreter of laws. After reading about it for two weeks, I thought I should talk about it. As of the release of the episode, Priyanka Sharma, the woman in question has been released after alleged harassment by the police and a forced signed statement. I speak in the Indian context in this episode, but I would be very happy to bring you other instances of mass censorship and moral policing by the government over the course of history.

What exactly is "technical evangelism?" At Gitlab, it's sharing opinions on what's going on in the community as technologists -- helping each other to collectively move forward to build better, ship better, and operationalize better so software is more responsive to customer needs. That's according to Ledge's guest, Priyanka Sharma. The great thing about evangelists? They have opinions, and they can give us the historical context necessary to make sense of the rapid pace of change in our industry.In this episode, Priyanka shares her thoughts on overtooling, how to handle the operations burdens of cloud and microservices efforts, and how to adjust process components for scale. Then she jumps into how to deal with media overload when you have a job that requires you to be up to date on tech trends. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Is Cloud Native just a synonym for Kubernetes? How to make sense of the sea of tools & frameworks that pop up daily? What can we learn from others that made the transformation and most of all: Where do we start?We got answer to all these and many more questions from Priyanka Sharma (@pritianka) – Dir. of Alliances at GitLab and Governing Board Member at CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation). In her work, Priyanka has seen everything from small startups to large enterprises leveraging Cloud Native technology, tools and mindset to build, deploy & run better software faster. She advises to start incrementally and whatever you do in your transformation make sure to always focus on: Visibility (which leads to transparency), Easy of Collaboration (which increases productivity & creativity) and Setting Guardrails (this ensures you stay compliant & avoids common pitfalls).We ended the conversation around the idea of needing “Cloud Native Aware Developers” which can follow best practices or standards such as those promoted by CNCF or OpenSource projects such as keptn.shhttps://twitter.com/pritiankahttps://www.cncf.io/https://keptn.sh/
