professorjrod@gmail.comWhat keeps a business alive when the lights flicker, a server drops, or an ISP blinks? We pull back the curtain on practical resilience—how continuity planning, capacity, and clear runbooks turn chaos into a minor hiccup—then pressure-test the plan with drills, documentation, and ruthless honesty.We start by grounding COOP in the messy reality of people and places: cross-training gaps, pandemic downsizing, and the strain of return-to-office on infrastructure that never fully grew back. From there, we break down high availability without fluff—hot, warm, and cold sites, plus cloud recovery that scales on demand. Testing gets real with load and failover exercises, because hope is not a strategy. We go deep on clustering choices (active-active vs. active-passive), health checks, and the power stack that actually carries you through outages: dual PSUs, smart PDUs, UPS coverage, and generators that are not just installed but tested.Security on paper fails at the door, so we layer physical controls that work in the real world: lighting, sight lines, bollards, access vestibules, badges, biometrics, CCTV, alarms, and trained guards who can respond when seconds matter. We add deception technologies to slow attackers and capture valuable telemetry. A blunt backup story drives the point home—retention policies, daily verification, and restoration drills aren't optional. Snapshots enable quick rollback; off-site copies protect against building-level incidents; simple file naming saves hours under pressure. We even share personal lessons on NAS setups, cloud sync, and the small frictions that derail good intentions.If you care about uptime, user trust, and sleeping at night, this conversation gives you a blueprint: map critical services, set real RPO/RTO goals, diversify dependencies, practice failover, and verify backups every day. Subscribe, share with a teammate who owns “the pager,” and leave a review with your best resilience win—or the failure that taught you most.Support the showIf you want to help me with my research please e-mail me.Professorjrod@gmail.comIf you want to join my question/answer zoom class e-mail me at Professorjrod@gmail.comArt By Sarah/DesmondMusic by Joakim KarudLittle chacha ProductionsJuan Rodriguez can be reached atTikTok @ProfessorJrodProfessorJRod@gmail.com@Prof_JRodInstagram ProfessorJRod
A CMO Confidential Interview with Richard Sanderson, the Marketing, Sales, and Communications Practice Leader at Spencer Stuart. Richard starts with the basics of salary, bonus and equity and branches out to compensation mix, the various types of equity, negotiating best practices, and the "other" elements of an offer. Key topics include: why the devil is in the details; when and how to discuss compensation; the difference between dumb luck and bad luck; and why everyone should do a "multi-year cash flow analysis." Tune in to hear why you should always read the proxy statement and the importance of being prepared to explain how you are using AI.What should CMOs (and aspiring CMOs) know about salary, bonus, and equity—and how do you actually negotiate it? Mike Linton sits down with Richard Sanderson, Practice Leader at Spencer Stuart, to demystify executive compensation for marketing leaders. They cover base pay vs. bonus, RSUs vs. options vs. PSUs, vesting mechanics, event-based triggers, how and when to negotiate, and what new pay-equity laws mean for candidates. Real talk on forfeitures, bonus history, and why your “one big ask” matters when the offer finally comes.What we cover • Why CMO pay data is scarce (and what that means for “market rate”) • Compensation mix: public vs. private/PE, U.S. vs. Europe, and “CMO+” roles • Equity 101: RSUs, options (strike prices/underwater risk), and PSUs (accelerators/decelerators) • Vesting models: time-, performance-, and event-based—and what you can/can't negotiate • Bonuses: how targets are set, why they're harder to move, and the 3-year payout history test • Negotiation timing: expectation-setting, handling the “what are your expectations?” question, and using information asymmetry to your advantage • Pay-equity & transparency laws: what recruiters can ask (expectations) vs. can't (history), and how to discuss forfeitures • Offer strategy: why you typically get one high-leverage counter—and how to use itSponsor @quadgraphics — Better marketing is built on Quad.

professorjrod@gmail.comA dead PC at the worst moment is a gut punch—unless you have a roadmap. We walk through the exact thinking that turns “no lights, no fans, no display” into a calm, step‑by‑step recovery, starting where every system truly begins: firmware. BIOS and UEFI aren't trivia; they decide how your machine discovers drives, validates bootloaders, and applies security like Secure Boot and TPM. That's why a simple post‑update check of boot order, storage mode, and firmware toggles can rescue a lab full of “no boot device” errors in minutes.From there, we get brutally honest about power. PSUs age, rails sag, and idle tests lie. You'll learn the outside‑in “power ladder,” why a line‑interactive UPS prevents ghost errors, and how unstable XMP profiles masquerade as OS problems. We demystify boot and drive failures—wrong boot entries, NVMe lane conflicts, cloning driver mismatches—and show how SMART data, free space, cooling, and firmware updates revive sluggish SSDs. Then we cut through RAID mythology: 0 for speed, 1 for uptime, 5 for read‑heavy with risk, 6 for double‑parity safety, and 10 for fast resilience. And we repeat the rule that saves careers: RAID is not backup. Verify restores, keep copies offsite or offline, and schedule tests before disaster strikes.Video issues get the practical treatment too. No display? Check inputs and connect to the discrete GPU, not the motherboard. Blurry or artifacting under load? Validate refresh rates, cables, thermals, and PSU capacity. We close with a field checklist and a case study where a quality PSU upgrade stabilized 3D renders instantly—proof that systems thinking beats screen-chasing every time. If you want a technician's mindset—evidence over assumptions, one variable at a time—this guide will sharpen your process and speed your fixes.If this helped you think like a tech, follow the show, share it with a teammate who's on call this week, and leave a quick review so more builders and troubleshooters can find it.Support the showIf you want to help me with my research please e-mail me.Professorjrod@gmail.comIf you want to join my question/answer zoom class e-mail me at Professorjrod@gmail.comArt By Sarah/DesmondMusic by Joakim KarudLittle chacha ProductionsJuan Rodriguez can be reached atTikTok @ProfessorJrodProfessorJRod@gmail.com@Prof_JRodInstagram ProfessorJRod

This MacVoices Live! discussion opens with public service announcements about expanded Anker power bank recalls and Microsoft Authenticator password support—critical updates for user safety and data integrity. The penel honors the late Tim Robertson, a pioneering voice in the Apple community and early podcaster. Then, Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Eric Bolden, Marty Jencius, Jeff Gamet, Web Bixby, and Jim Rea debate Apple's new App Store structure in the EU, examining the implications of tiered developer models, regulatory pressure, and whether Apple's tight control over its platform is justified or overdue for reform. The group also weighs contrasting views on Epic's Tim Sweeney, the role of government oversight, and what Apple's strategic shifts might mean for users and developers alike.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Fed Hits Pause—Again For the fourth time this year, the US Federal Reserve kept interest rates steady at 4.25%–4.5%, citing “diminished but elevated” economic uncertainty. Fed Chair Jerome Powell pointed to the lingering effects of Trump-era tariffs, noting that while uncertainty peaked in April, it hasn't fully cleared. FASTag Freedom: ₹3K Toll Pass from Aug 15 India's road warriors, rejoice! Starting August 15, a ₹3,000 FASTag-based annual toll pass will be available for private vehicles. It covers 200 trips or a full year—whichever comes first. The aim? Reduce travel costs, cut long waits at toll booths, and simplify payments. Announced by Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, the pass is part of a bigger push toward seamless highway travel. The pass will be available via the Rajmarg Yatra App and NHAI's website. It comes amid rising toll charges—up over 3% in FY25 and expected to rise further. To complement the effort, a GNSS-based tolling system is also on the way, allowing for distance-based tolling without physical toll plazas. The government will absorb any revenue shortfall to keep concessionaires whole. Trump Thanks Pakistan's Army Chief for Restraint In an unusual diplomatic move, US President Donald Trump hosted Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir at the White House, thanking him for “not going into the war” with India. The lunch meeting was notable for its absence of senior civilian officials. Trump called it “a win” that two nuclear powers—India and Pakistan—chose peace. He also revealed they discussed Iran, adding, “They know Iran very well… and he agreed with me.” Back home, Pakistan's leadership is walking a tightrope. PM Shehbaz Sharif has publicly supported Iran amid its escalating conflict with Israel, and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said Iran is open to talks—if Israeli strikes stop. Want a US Student Visa? Hand Over Your Social Media The US has resumed student visa processing—but there's a catch. All applicants must now make their social media profiles public for review. Posts that appear hostile to the US, its institutions, or culture could be grounds for rejection. The State Department warns that refusing to comply may be seen as “an attempt to hide behavior.” Critics say the move chills free speech and brings back Cold War-era ideological vetting. “This turns consular officers into censors,” said Columbia's Jameel Jaffer. With academic sessions around the corner, international students are scrambling to comply, while legal experts raise red flags over digital privacy and First Amendment concerns. SEBI's Market Makeover: Esops, PSUs & AIFs Get a Lift SEBI is on reform overdrive. In just his second meeting as chair, Tuhin Kanta Pandey cleared a raft of changes aimed at boosting market efficiency, startup incentives, and investor participation. Founders of listed startups can now retain Esops—a game changer that aligns long-term incentives. For public sector undertakings, a new framework for voluntary delisting could fast-track strategic disinvestments. Alternative Investment Funds got more room to maneuver, with greenlights for co-investment vehicles and broader advisory services. Foreign investors in Indian sovereign debt will also benefit from simplified compliance norms. Meanwhile, the long-pending NSEL broker case may be resolved through a new settlement scheme. In short, SEBI is opening the doors wider, and smarter. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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, October 29, 2024. My name is Nelson John, wishing all our listeners a very happy Dhanteras. Let's get started. Inflation, no more? That's what the International Monetary Fund, or IMF, thinks. In a recent economic review, the IMF declared that the global battle against inflation has "largely been won". That means that most countries across the globe have either met or are very close to their inflation targets. N. Madhavan explains that despite that, growth forecasts remain low. Projections for global economic growth have stabilised at 3.2% in 2024, slightly down from 3.3% in 2023. With a growth rate of 7%, India fares well in this aspect. However, global risks such as geopolitical conflicts, trade protectionism, and potential economic slowdowns remain significant — hence the low growth projections. When the Indian government liberalised the economy in 1991, domestic conglomerates were worried: a sudden change challenged their collective dominance. That was 30 years ago. Safe to say, the dominance of empires like Reliance, Tata, Adani, and Kotak, among others has assuaged those fears. Our partners at How India Lives . com write that corporate India had a resurgence in the late 2010s, led by a huge influx of cash. As banks ran out of credible entities to loan money to, India Inc. stepped up — and never looked back. Ultimately, they conclude that conglomerates aren't going anywhere, anytime soon, while the medium-sized ones might have to reconsider their positions, or perish. RBI is set to boost its digital security measures by introducing an AI-driven early warning system. This system will be designed to alert users to potential financial fraud during transactions. The initiative aims to tackle emerging threats in the digital finance space by leveraging AI to analyze data, identify high-risk platforms, and notify users of suspicious activities in real time. Subhash Naryan reports that this system will build on existing technologies like the MuleHunter AI, which detects mule accounts used in fraud schemes. The government is planning to shift its strategy for PSUs. Instead of rushing to sell them off, the government now wants to work on their operational efficiency and governance, reports Gulveen Aulakh. The plan, sources told Gulveen, focuses on transforming these PSUs into professionally managed entities capable of yielding substantial dividends and potentially achieving higher market valuations through future public listings. In recent initiatives, specific PSUs like Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd are receiving targeted interventions to address their financial and operational challenges, with plans ranging from restructuring packages to debt resolution strategies. The Open Network for Digital Commerce is launching an initiative to deliver groceries and other items within 30 minutes to two hours. The government-backed e-commerce network is looking to tap into the growing popularity of quick commerce in India, Sowmya Ramasubramanian reports. This move will involve collaborations with ElasticRun, Ola, and PhonePe's buyer app Pincode, utilizing their dark stores and delivery networks to enable rapid delivery services.
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, October 3, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started. We might be on the verge of world war three, as Iran's recent airstrikes on Israel underscore Tehran's readiness to confront any perceived threat. Shweta Singh explains why the situation could escalate, and how the US is involved in the mess. Shweta also explains the implications of this development on India, including how it could affect trade, and helps you understand the complex geopolitical dynamics at play. In a move to slash legal costs, the Indian government is setting the stage for a new national litigation policy, targeting cases where government entities end up suing each other. With this step, the law ministry aims to curb the financial drain caused by such disputes, particularly among public sector undertakings, Dhirendra Kumar reports. The initiative targets disputes like tender disagreements between PSUs, which not only incur substantial legal costs but also burden the judiciary. With over 50 million pending cases nationwide, such disputes exacerbate the backlog and strain on the legal system. The policy aims to streamline processes and reduce unnecessary legal confrontations. If you qualify as ultra-rich, chances are you're tired of five-star hotels. Varuni Khosla writes that super-rich travellers are increasingly drawn to boutique resorts, which offer an intimate and luxurious experience accompanied by meals by high-profile chefs. These resorts are typically in remote locations and cater to the demand for unique and personalised vacations. Affluent millennials are spending more than 25,000 rupees a night to stay at such resorts. Google's in a bit of a spot in India. The tech giant has decided to settle an antitrust case after the Competition Commission of India flagged its deals with smart TV makers as a no-go under the competition laws. This is a big deal because it's the first time a company is testing India's new settlement process, writes Gireesh Chandra Prasad. Introduced last year, the process could get Google a 15% reduction on the penalty. The CCI initiated the probe in 2021, based on allegations that Google violated competition laws in the Android TV market, specifically through its restrictive agreements with smart TV manufacturers. These agreements allegedly limited the manufacturers' ability to use or develop alternative Android systems.Indian IT services are gearing up for their September quarter results, with Infosys expected to lead in revenue growth among the top five firms. Analyst forecasts suggest Infosys could achieve revenue growth exceeding 3%, driven by the ramp-up of previously secured deals and the integration of the newly acquired In-tech, Jas Bardia reports. TCS is also expected to grow, though at a more modest 1.5% to 2.4%, supported by its substantial 4G network deployment deal with BSNL. As for the others, HCL Technologies could see growth of up to 1.9%, while Wipro's projections indicate a slight increase or even a minor decline in revenue. TCS will release its results on the 10th, followed by other major firms.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are all the important updates ahead of the trading session of September 24 -The Nifty is now only 70 points away from the mark of 26,000. In case that does happen today, it would have taken the Nifty 38 trading sessions to get to 26,000 from the day it first scaled 25,000 on August 1. -Beaten down sectors in recent times like the PSU Bank index turned out to be the top performer during Monday's trading session. The index saw its biggest single-day gain since June 3, which also saw the index make a near-term top. Barring IT, most of the other sectoral indices had a field day on Monday, including real estate and auto stocks. Some PSU names also saw a rebound, except for defence PSUs, which saw continued selling pressure. -This morning, GIFTNifty was trading with a premium of more than 80 points from Nifty Futures' Monday close, indicating a gap-up start for the Indian market. -Today is also the weekly expiry for the Nifty Financial Services index, which will keep the banking stocks in focus. -Stocks to track: Reliance Power, Punjab National Bank, NTPC, Firstsource, GR Infraprojects, BGR Energy, AstraZeneca Pharma, Power Grid -Asian stocks rose as China's central bank lowered key rates in the latest attempt to shore up the economy and financial markets.

Both indexes closed at records. The Nasdaq Composite ticked up 0.14%. -In terms of commodities, gold rose to fresh all-time high as traders digested data and remarks from policymakers.

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. Let us know by writing to us at feedback@livemint.com. You may send us feedback, tips or anything that you feel we should be covering from your vantage point in the world of business and finance.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are all the important updates ahead of the trading session of July 16 -Even as the Nifty traded in a 110-point range on July 15, it crossed the 24,600 mark, made a new high of 24,635, and closed above levels of 24,550. Interestingly, barring SBI and ITC, none of the major index heavyweights contributed to the Nifty's upmove yesterday. Most of them ended with a flat to negative bias. But contributions came from PSUs like ONGC and NTPC, along with Bajaj Auto, which reports results today. -Today might turn out to be a volatile day for the financials, as the Nifty Financial Services will have its weekly expiry. Additionally, with Wednesday being a market holiday, the Nifty Bank too, will have its weekly expiry on Tuesday. -GIFTNifty was trading with a premium of over 17 points from Nifty Futures' Monday close, which indicates a flat-to-positive start for the Indian market. -Earnings: Bajaj Auto, CRISIL, Dee Development Engineers, DB Corp, Himadri Speciality Chemicals, Jubilant Ingrevia, Just Dial, L&T Finance, Network18 and TV18. -Stocks to watch: Jio Financial Services, SpiceJet, Vedanta, Hindustan Unilever, Unichem Labs, Lupin, Zee Entertainment -Stocks in Asia were muted in early Tuesday trading, following gains on Wall Street fueled by optimism surrounding a second Donald Trump term as the former US president chose his running mate. Equity benchmarks rose in Japan and Korea, while those in Australia were steady. Futures for Hong Kong stocks pointed to a decline. -Caution in Asia comes amid signs of emerging market volatility in anticipation that Trump's tariff threats will be implemented. -Overnight on Wall Street, the blue-chip Dow also reached a new intraday high, advancing half a percent to close at 40,211.72. Similarly, The S&P 500 added 0.28% to 5,631.22, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.4% to end at 18,472.57. Trump's rising odds of victory boosted oil producers, gun makers and private prisons. His pro-cryptocurrency stance lifted the industry. Tesla Inc. rallied as Elon Musk endorsed Trump. Solar firms sank as Democrats are seen as more friendly toward the sector. -Meanwhile, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said in an interview that second-quarter economic data has provided policymakers greater confidence that inflation is heading down to the central bank's 2% goal, possibly paving the way for near-term interest-rate cuts. He made clear he didn't intend to send any specific message about the timing of rate reductions. -In commodities, oil prices edged lower on worries about a slowing Chinese economy crimping demand, though a growing consensus that the U.S. The Federal Reserve will begin cutting its key interest rate as soon as September limited declines. Brent futures fell to $84.76 a barrel. -Back home, Telecom Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia is likely to meet leaders from Telecom and Internet Service Providers. DOT has called for meeting of Stakeholder Advisory Committee for TSPs i.e. Telecom Service Providers. This committee includes, Sunil Bharti Mittal, Akash Ambani, Kumar Manglam Birla and N Chandrasekhar. The issues of Unsolicited Commercial Communication, network quality, and 6G are likely to be on the cards. Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues
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, June 10, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started:The markets are still recuperating from the bloodbath from election results day. However, it wasn't so bad for all of them: Ram Sahgal writes that retail investors, who buy and sell shares directly, outsmarted the broader market. Instead of buying while the markets were rising prior to the results, retail investors sold heavily. These stocks were bought by foreign portfolio investors, as well as mutual funds. When the market tanked by nearly 6 percent the following day, retail investors were fairly safe, while the other sets of investors were left holding the losses. This was a rare case of the average investor outsmarting larger, institutional investors, Ram writes.Public sector utility stocks have continued to fare poorly since the election results were announced. The formation of the coalition government has exposed these PSUs to certain risks. As Manish Joshi points out, the coalition members would have opinions about sensitive issues such as the price of fuel and electricity. These decisions may be taken to placate the political partners — but might not be fundamentally sound for the businesses. Subsidised rates in electricity, in particular, are concerning. Investors might steer clear of these stocks until the new government is established and takes some policy decisions.Corporate India always waits to see which sectors get a boost after a new government is formed. This time around, consumer goods companies might have some reason to cheer: a post-election analysis by brokerage firms says that the new government is likely to roll out "pro-consumption initiatives". Suneera Tandon writes that this could provide a boost for FMCG stocks. The central weather department has predicted that India will see a normal monsoon this year — another positive sign for these consumer goods companies. FMCGs have had a rough couple of years, owing to increasing prices due to inflation. On their part, FMCGs are investing heavily in improving their distribution networks to improve their revenue, notes Suneera.In India, the heart of the jewellery market is the wedding market. In its early days, Tanishq didn't exactly understand that: much of its marketing was aimed at a different target market. The jewellery business in India is worth some 50,000 crore rupees — but Tanishq was only pulling in a revenue of about 500 crore rupees. CK Venkatraman, ex-COO of Tanishq, details how the company went from this feeble income to the behemoth it is today. Venkatraman writes it in his own words in his book titled "The Tanishq Story", an excerpt of which we have published.Movie ticket prices have slowly been creeping up. Once in a while, you'll notice that tickets are available for a flick you want to watch — but they cost an arm and a leg! That's because movie theatres in India are increasingly turning premium. Multiplex chains insist on creating fancy infrastructure for movie theatres, while theatres in tier 2 and 3 cities have been dying for a few years. This contrasting trajectory means that the common man is being priced out of going for movies. Lata Jha takes a deep dive into the cinema industry, and writes about its developments — both the good and bad.We'd love to hear your feedback on this podcast.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are all the important cues ahead of the market session of June 5 - The Lok sabha election is out and the NDA led Prime Minister Narendra Modi is all set to form the government again for the third straight term. However, the outcome wasn't exactly how the NDA anticipated and definitely not the way the market anticipated. The market, that factored in at least 290-300 seats for the BJP on a standalone basis, sold off sharply after the incumbent party failed to cross the 272 mark by itself. - This sentiment led to the biggest single-day drop in four years. BSE-listed companies lost ₹30 lakh crore in market capitalisation. PSUs and Adani Group stocks were the biggest contributors to that drop. - Brokerage firm Bernstein, meanwhile, expects Indian equities to 'sell down' in the extreme near term after the mandate from the Lok Sabha elections. However, it has left its Nifty target unchanged at 23,500 for the end of the year. -Stocks to watch: Tata Motors, Wipro, Vodafone Idea -In terms of the election certain key events are due today like the Cabinet meeting at 11:30 am. Chandrababu Naidu and Nitish Kumar are expected to be in Delhi today whereas the I.N.D.I.A block is supposed to meet at 6 pm this evening. These political developments are also likely to have an impact on the market. -In terms of global cues, Asia-Pacific markets were mixed this morning as investors assessed India's election results. Overnight in the U.S., the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose as Wall Street sought its footing after an uneven start to the month. -The GIFT Nifty was higher, trading at a premium of more than 140 pts from Nifty Futures Tuesday close, indicating a gap-up start for the Indian market Tune in to CNBC-TV18 for more cues
Welcome to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast, here are all the important cues ahead of the trading session of June 3 -In what is likely to be one of the most interesting sessions of the year or even more, the Gifty Nifty suggests not just a record high for Nifty but a start with gains of more than a whopping 500 points. -Before the final D-Day tomorrow that is the result day of Lok sabha elections 2024, exit polls on Saturday forecast a historic third term for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The exit poll results were also on similar lines of market anticipation. -Most exit polls released predict a historic third term for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is projected to secure more than 350 seats, comfortably crossing the halfway mark in the Lok Sabha. Although it may fall short of the ambitious '400 paar' target -An exit poll conducted by News18 Poll Hub is expecting the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) to win between 355 - 370 seats for the Lok Sabha elections. The Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) is expected to win between 305 - 315 seats, which is nearly at par or slightly higher than the 303 seats the party won in 2019. -The Nifty had a forgettable last week as investors chose to book profit from record levels and wait for the exit polls outcome by sitting on the sidelines. The index ended 2% lower in the week gone by. Investors lost over ₹8 lakh crore courtesy of the weakness seen last week. However, they might look to recover most of that sooner or later, after the exit poll outcome. -Expert commentary is key to watch today, Prashant Khemka of White Oak Capital believes that the Nifty will be hitting levels of 50,000 in the next five years, which is more than double of where it currently is. Raamdeo Agrawal, Chairman and Co-founder of Motilal Oswal Group, believes this could mark the beginning of a 'higher for longer' market rally, especially if the BJP achieves its '400-paar' target. -Among the sectors that brokerages have bet on that are likely to be the key beneficiaries on the continuation of the current government would be PSUs, railways, defence, and other manufacturing and capex oriented sectors. Raamdeo Agrawal of Motilal Oswal though, expects the banks to emerge as the outperformers. CLSA also prefers larger banks due to the valuation comfort. -Stocks to watch: Hero MotoCorp, Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki India, TVS Motor, Mahindra & Mahindra, Ashok Leyland, Eicher Motors, Escorts Kubota, defence PSUs, railway stocks, Adani Ports, Canara Bank, Welspun Corp, Aurobindo Pharma, MOIL, Coal India, Ashoka Buildcon, REC, Inox Wind, Aarti Pharmalabs -On the global front, Asia-Pacific stock markets mostly rose Monday ahead of a private survey on China's manufacturing sector. Wall Street futures were calm ahead of the first trading day in June, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average futures up 25 points, or less than 0.1%. S&P 500 futures were flat, and Nasdaq 100 futures were down 0.1%. -Oil extended losses this morning after OPEC+ set out a plan to restore some suspended production as early as October, despite concerns over the demand outlook and robust supply from outside of the group.

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, May 13, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started:Active investors in Indian equity markets have had a good run: in the last three years, the Sensex has increased by more than 45 percent. Often, the state of the stock markets also reflects the mood of the nation. If the country's economic output is robust, the market trends upwards. As Madan Sabnavis, chief economist at Bank of Baroda, writes, it is often assumed that a rising stock index is indicative of broad confidence in the economy and acts as a foreteller of its performance. But is this really true? Sabnavis argues that broader market trends do not reflect the true picture of Indian commerce or macroeconomic conditions. He compares India's GDP, Nifty, and Nifty companies' profits to make his point. Next time someone says the country is doing great because the stock market hit a new high, you might want to point out that the correlation isn't necessarily true.Investors opt for mutual funds when they want a more passive experience to investing. If you're bullish on one sector, you can even choose a sector-specific fund like banking, PSUs, and auto stocks. But what if you want to reap the rewards from a more risky instrument like cryptocurrencies? Since January 2020, the Bloomberg Galaxy Crypto Index, which is a collection of some of the top cryptocurrencies, has delivered 500 percent returns. That's where a fund like BitSave comes in. BitSave is a startup that operates a crypto-only fund, and isn't bound by SEBI's regulations as it operates out of Seychelles. We invited Yash Roongta, founder of Alt Investor, to write about this interesting but volatile investment option.AI this, AI that — it's impossible to escape the all-encompassing artificial intelligence. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, is drumming up hype for GPT-5. Some believe that along with GPT-5, OpenAI is also set to launch a search engine that would go toe-to-toe with Google. ChatGPT has also been licensed to a variety of businesses, and makes a lot of money from it. But as Leslie D'Monte writes, companies would do well to hedge their AI bets. Despite the hype for GPT-5, it might turn out to be a dud — that's where the competitors come in.If you've made international summer vacation plans, I must commend your patience. It's incredibly difficult to get a visa to the US or Europe these days. Appointments for the Schengen visa are months away, and you're not certain to get them either. Spurned by Europe, Indians are now looking at other destinations, writes Varuni Khosla. Varuni spoke with travel agents who are curating trips for holidays to places such as South Korea and Japan. Closer home, countries like Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Thailand are attractive destinations too, especially after they started providing visa on arrival for Indians. Europe's loss is India's gain, and Indians are cashing in.India is now a chess-playing nation. Much of the credit must be given to Vishvanathan Anand, India's first, and for a long time, only chess grandmaster. India now has 84 grandmasters. The latest Indian chess star is Gukesh Dommaraju, a 17-year-old prodigy who became a grandmaster at the tender age of 12. Gukesh now enjoys fame and celebration usually reserved for India's cricket heroes. We invited Deepti Patwardhan, noted sportswriter, to take a deep dive into the history and moves that made Indians in chess a force to be reckoned with.

Hello and welcome to CNBC-Tv18's Marketbuzz Podcast, here are all the important developments ahead of the trading session of March 22 -The Indian market is likely to open in green as the gift nifty suggests amid mixed global cues. -While other Asia-Pacific markets opened mixed this morning, Japan's Nikkei 225 crossed 41,000 to hit a fresh all-time high as Japan inflation accelerated in February. -Overnight in the US, all three major indexes hit fresh records, continuing the rally from Thursday after the US Federal Reserve held rates steady and maintained its rate cut forecast for 2024. -Oil prices sank in early Asian trading on the possibility of a nearing Gaza ceasefire, which could loosen global supply, at the same time a stronger U.S. dollar and faltering gasoline dampened demand sentiment. Brent crude futures fell to $85.60 a barrel. -Bitcoin has peeled back more than 10% from its all-time high as the appetite for fledgling spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds moderates. JPMorgan Chase and Co. strategists warned the retreat has room to run. -In the previous session back home, Nifty 50 and all other sectoral indices staged a rebound, courtesy the Federal rate decision. The Nifty managed to scale past Wednesday's resistance band of 21,900 - 21,950 to close above the 22,000 mark. -Even in a rebounding market, foreign investors were net sellers in the cash market yesterday, while domestic investors continued to be buyers. -Market analysts suggest that the market is not out of the woods yet despite some relief yesterday. -Stocks in focus: TCS, Infosys, Wipro, PSUs, Bharat Dynamics, Prestige Estates, IRB Infra, DOMS Industries, Tata Communications, Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders, Veranda Learning, IREDA -The Enforcement Directorate has arrested Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in connection with the ongoing probe into alleged irregularities surrounding the capital's liquor policy. -The much-awaited Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 commences today in Chennai, with the Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru competing against each other.

The government believed that these offshore platforms were not complying with the country's anti-money laundering law. And investors were also using them to circumvent TDS costs. Some of them -- like Binance -- were quite popular among domestic investors. But now, crypto investors are reportedly flocking to domestic exchanges. There is a surge in registration. So will this crackdown on offshore exchanges help desi crypto platforms? Clearly, there are signs of thaw in the ongoing crypto winter. It started with the collapse of the famous foreign exchange FTX. But for many, winter means a season of earnings. The longer it is, the better. But, even as north India is reeling under a prolonged spell of winter, its famous skiing resorts are without snow. Locals in Uttarakhand's Auli and Kashmir's Gulmarg -- whose livelihood depends on tourists -- are looking towards the sky for some divine help, as tourists are cancelling bookings. But why are hills in these regions facing a snowless winter? After the hills, let us now turn our gaze to financial markets. The government's ‘Make in India' push and indigenisation in the defence space opened floodgates for order flows for most PSUs in 2023. Nearly 30% of the stocks doubled investors' wealth last year, while 27 stocks hit record highs. The rally has extended thus far in 2024 with the Nifty PSE index touching its all-time high level on January 16. But the rally has taken valuation multiples to multi-year highs. So, will the pack be able to defend its gains? Or is a sharp correction waiting around the corner? After stocks, let us now see what is happening in the world of cryptocurrencies. The US Securities and Exchange Commission last week approved applications for exchange-traded funds or ETF, that are primarily based on bitcoin. Supporters hope it will attract new investors to the token and boost its price in the long term. But what is the Bitcoin Spot ETF? Find out about it in this episode of the podcast.
In today's episode for 2nd November 2023, we see why the government wants PSUs (Public Sector Undertakings) to pay more dividends into its coffers. Talk to Ditto - https://bit.ly/45uvyDL
Pat and Sweens take a look back at PSUs road win against Illinois before we move on to the Whiteout against Iowa. Preview episode for that coming later this week.

Wishing You a Great 2023Others might begin the new year with resolutions, but we prefer excuses. Last year, we wrote only 42 editions. There was much to do in the remaining ten weeks. There was the Football World Cup, a few time-offs, a couple of vacations, and of course, a lapdog ate our laptops. If these honourable reasons weren't enough, we add another: we wrote a book!Our book Missing in Action: Why You Should Care About Public Policy will be published on 23 January 2023. Like this newsletter, it is a 'pop' public policy book in which we explain concepts through stories rooted in the Indian context. We couldn't have asked for a more helpful and encouraging team than our friends at Penguin India, who got us over the line and in time for a Republic Day release. The book is ready for pre-order now. You will have to excuse us for a bit of promotion that we will do over the next month or so on these pages. So what's the book about? At the heart of the book is our belief in the core objective of public policy. It should increase the welfare of the citizens. Like the verse from Bhagavad Gita goes:अनन्याश्चिन्तयन्तो मां ये जनाः पर्युपासते।तेषां नित्याभियुक्तानां योगक्षेमं वहाम्यहम्।।9.22।।That word - Yogakshema - to preserve the prosperity and welfare of citizens is what public policy should be about. We write this newsletter with the hope that it will, in its small way, move the needle on discourse. The book is a logical extension of this hope. Hope, as Andy Dufresne taught us, ‘is a good thing; maybe the best of things'. We are hopeful about the future of India, but not in a misguided nationalistic way. We believe we can make an impact, however small, on the demand side of the policy equation. That making people aware of policy choices and helping them anticipate the unintended will lead to a change in the supply side of politics. There are two preconditions for this to happen, which we assume hold true. One, people have time and mental space available for discussions that matter to their lives. Two, a belief we can arrive at what's good for us through those debates and discussions.In the book, we have taken the citizens as the point of reference and elaborated on their interactions with the state, the market and the society. Think of the book as a primer to understanding the fundamentals that underpin these interactions. We cover why we need a state or the markets, what is the role of society and how the three interplay among them. We go back to the foundational texts on political philosophy and economy in the book to explain the core concepts of public policy but in what we hope is an accessible fashion. We have tried to avoid jargon and approached all topics using first principles. Like the 16th century Bhakti poet, Nabha Dasa, who compiled the life of every saint from time immemorial in Bhaktamala, wrote:"Jaat na puchhie saadhu ki, poochh leejie gyan, mol karo kirpan ka, padi rahne do mian" ("Do not ask for the antecedents of a learned saint. Only seek their wisdom. The true worth is what's within us and not what you see from outside.")We have been ecumenical in our approach in this book.The other thing you might find interesting in the book is our focus on finding examples in the Indian context to illuminate a point or to make a case for our arguments. This will contextualise a lot of the discussions in the book to our immediate environment, and we hope it will make our reasoning clearer to our readers. Further, we have tried to keep ourselves free of dogma in the book. We have strong faith in markets, but we understand their limitations and the critical role of the state and society. We have been open to knowledge from all sources and have challenged our premises and priors before stating our point of view. Lastly, the tone of the book is conversational, and it is filled with some of our usual groan-inducing Bollywood references. Special thanks to all of you for reading us and engaging with us. Without your encouragement, we wouldn't have attempted a book. And now that we have said such good things go buy the book! Truth be told, we are a tad nervous about how the book will be received. We hope you will enjoy reading it and recommending it to others. Show it some love, friends and order it now. ThanksPranay & RSJIndia Policy Watch: How Did I Do On My Predictions For 2022?— RSJ Each year I start with a prediction post. But before I get down to my predictions for 2023 (which I will in the next edition), there's the unfinished business of how I fared on the predictions that I made in 2022. So, here's a look back at the year through the lens of my predictions at the start of the year.Economy - Prediction #1 This is what I wrote:“we will be in the 5-5.5 per cent growth range (if you take the base of FY 21). Inflation (CPI) will be around 5 per cent with an occasional jump to 6 per cent during the year despite threatening to go out of control. Maybe three interest rate hikes (a total of 75 bps) during the year will keep a lid on it. Public markets will moderate a bit (around 10 percent upside).... China won't attract it (foreign capital) as it will continue to go down the path of self-reliance and its notion of an equal society.”Result: No one could see the Ukraine war coming back when I made the predictions. Notwithstanding that, I think I got the growth and the inflation prediction in the ballpark. The war threw the interest hike prediction off totally. Instead of a 75 bps hike over the year, we got a 225 bps increase. I think, on balance, the Indian economy did quite well in 2022, given the headwinds. Domestic consumption was strong; we weathered the peaking of oil and commodity rates quite well, the twin balance sheet problem is now behind us, and by the end of the year, we saw private Capex growing. Not a bad state of affairs. I would have taken this happily at the start of the year. Overall, I'd give a 6/10 on this prediction.Economy - Prediction #2“There won't be much to write about reforms. Some attempts at piecemeal MSP reforms will be attempted to make up for the repealed farm laws. The National Monetisation Pipeline will get going but the progress will be modest. A couple of more disinvestment proposals of PSUs (including banks) will be taken up. But this will be for raising revenues rather than a planned strategy to make PSUs market competitive. The LIC IPO will just go over the line and that will be the big event to showcase reforms.”Result: Got that pretty much spot on. Maybe an 8/10.Politics - Prediction #1 & 2Here's what I wrote:“BJP election machine will continue its winning run barring the odd defeats in Punjab and Goa. The big prize, UP, will be fought hard but BJP will win a safe majority. The bahujan vote of the depleted BSP will shift to it more than to SP and that will make all the difference.”“There will be a split in the Congress. The party in its current form is untenable and beyond a point, there will be nothing to lose for those who split it. The key question is who will lead it - those who have a political base and think Congress leadership is a liability that cannot be carried along any further, or those without a political base but with strong ideological opposition to the BJP. My guess is it will be the latter. In any case, it won't make much of a difference.”Result: Punjab went the way I had guessed. Goa was close. Congress didn't split but it lost senior leaders like Capt. Amarinder Singh and Ghulam Nabi Azad among others. And despite the Bharat Jodo Yatra, which has only been in the news because people cannot believe Rahul Gandhi has sustained it for so long, I don't think Congress improved its election prospects dramatically this year.Society - Prediction #1“Expect love jihad and anti-conversion laws in various states, some kind of population control bill, a revival of CAA and a push for a uniform civil code during the year. There's that early 20th century Europe playbook of stoking demographic anxiety that plays on a threat to the survival of a civilisation or a way of living. The pitch will be queered on this. Indian society is a fertile ground for it. This land can be shown to its people as a palimpsest. But it can, perhaps more easily, be shown as a glorious, ancient civilisation that's been asphyxiated for centuries by ‘outsiders'. A true revival of it requires setting the past records straight and the right demographic arithmetic.”Result: Well, there was the usual noise around a lot of these issues but, thankfully, we had a somewhat muted year on legislating these. This didn't mean that the media mouthpieces and influential voices within and outside the government went slow on stirring the pot on these topics. We have reached a point where turning back on these issues will be difficult. It remains the one faultline that can derail our economic prospects that look surprisingly good at this moment. I will give myself a 7/10 as much as I want to score a zero here. Society - Prediction #2“Politics is driven by the idea of having an enemy; the other. For much of the last decade, this was the left-liberal cabal (Lutyens, Khan market, NYT, Soros, Amnesty etc). Even when much of news and propaganda came to be dominated by the right-wing, there was a strawman of this all-powerful cabal of anti-nationals that was kept alive because the notion of an enemy is critical. But once you have decimated it, what do you do? You look for the enemy within.”Result: I will be the first to admit that I am still amazed at how this prediction isn't yet true. There are still imaginary left cabals to be fought against. It is a measure of both the enterprise of the propaganda machinery and the gullibility of ordinary voters that we are still drinking up all the kool-aid that we are being served on how anti-India interests are still the ‘establishment' in India and globally. There's still a long way to go before finding the enemy within your camp to fight. I will give a 5/10 on this. Miscellaneous - Prediction #1“There will be serious big tech regulations that will come into play in America. Others will follow suit. India will have a version of this along with dollops of atmanirbharta. This will mean some tough days for big consumer tech giants in India.”Result: Some big tech regulations have come into play in the US, and the collapse of FTX will lead to further clamping down. India came down heavily on Chinese apps and made life difficult for consumer-facing tech giants like Amazon, Meta and Alphabet. I expect this to continue. I guess a 7/10 on here will be about right. Miscellaneous - Prediction #2“China will struggle for growth. Demographics, debt and delusion have come together in China in a way that will make it difficult for it to sustain growth. China-Russia relationship will get stronger with their support for each other and for other authoritarian regimes around the world.”Result: Even without the Ukraine war, I thought this was how it was going to play out. It only became stronger with the war. I think I got a 9/10 there. Miscellaneous - Prediction #3“Meta, Crypto, Decentralisation, NFT (and everything else pumped up by the Valley tech bros) will see their hype abate (about 25-30 percent drop in asset value). When John Terry starts buying Bored Ape NFTs, you know the whole thing has jumped the shark. About time too.”Result: I should have followed my gut more and doubled down on this last year. I could sense a big correction, and a large-ish collapse was in the offing in this space. But I stopped short of calling a mini meltdown in this space. But that's how it turned out by the end of the year. An 8/10 here.So, there we are with how I fared on last year's predictions. I will come back next week with a few specific and somewhat contrarian predictions for 2023. Not(PolicyWTF): Making Education ProfitableThis section looks at surprisingly sane policies- Pranay KotasthaneThe University Grants Commission (UGC) released draft regulations earlier this week, permitting foreign universities to set up Indian campuses. While the draft needs some much-needed improvements, this reform is in the right direction. For the moment, keep the programmatic part of the policy aside. It's the politics of this move that caught my attention.Ritika Chopra in the Indian Express reminds us that the first such attempt was made in 1995. Another one in 2005-06 never made it past the cabinet. Then in 2010, the UPA government brought in another bill. The Foreign Educational Institutions (Regulation of Entry and Operations) Bill, 2010 was introduced in the Lok Sabha, a Standing Committee gave some suggestions, the government sat on it for three years, and it was tabled again in 2013. By 2014, the UPA was voted out, and the bill lapsed.It's interesting to observe how the Overton Window has changed on this issue. The 2010 bill was far less radical than the draft UGC regulations being proposed now. That bill disallowed foreign universities from repatriating any money abroad, it mandated that interested entities have a corpus fund of at least Rs 50 crores, and it allowed only entities that had operated for at least 20 years. Despite these unreasonable restrictions, the Left and the BJP still found the bill too permissive and buried it. The Left had a far greater influence on the matter as it was a part of the ruling coalition. I went back to check the best form of arguments put forward by the Left. True to form, they argued that this bill would encourage “commercialisation” of education. The CPM said it would open the ‘floodgates for weakening and dismantling the public education system in higher education. And India could be atmanirbhar in developing a higher education system; we need no help from anyone. Shouldn't we reflect on how much this ideological opposition cost us? What was the number of people who went ahead to get quality education in other countries, including in risky countries like Ukraine and Kazakhstan? Blocking foreign educational institutes for equity reasons is akin to banning people from eating Sushi just because India still has a large poor population. Forget the fact that a former General Secretary of the CPM is himself an alumnus of a British university. The BJP's objection predictably was that the courses offered could ‘adversely affect the sovereignty and integrity of India'. That insecurity hasn't subsided, and the new draft regulations have an explicit clause forbidding such courses. We can interpret the new draft regulations as an example of the Overton Window stretching on this issue. On some counts, it has extended the boundaries of freedom by allowing people to have more options within India while allowing foreign universities to repatriate money back home. It's a hesitant acknowledgement that profit-making in education is not bad. On the other hand, the Window has also stretched toward “lesser freedom” with clauses banning certain types of courses, effectively implying that non-controversial “technology” universities might receive preference over liberal arts universities. Real-life policymaking is often a search for the second-best option. So I'll take the door left ajar, rather than it remaining closed altogether.HomeWorkReading and listening recommendations on public policy matters* [Podcast] Some predictions for 2023 by the Puliyabaazi team* [Book] Optimally Irrational: Good Reasons Why We Behave The Way We Do is promising.* [Article] Many editions ago, we wrote about the EU ban on chargers, warning that it could come to India as well.

Led by the IT giants Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Infosys, the top listed companies by market capitalisation have reported net increase in employees to their total headcount in FY22, according to analysis from the annual reports. Of them, TCS closed the year ended March with all-time high net addition of 103,546 employees, while Infosys hired 85,000 fresh college graduates, with a net addition of 54,000 employees. IT companies are battling high attrition, fueled by a sharp rise in demand for automation and digitalisation across all industry sectors. The software behemoths are compensating the same with high fresher recruitments. Meanwhile, oil-to-telecom conglomerate Reliance Industries recorded the highest net addition during FY22 with 107,000 employees. In the banking services, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank added 21,486 employees and 7,094 in the financial year respectively. The hiring outlook is strong too in the near term. According to a teamlease report, the corporates “intent to hire” showed a substantial increase of 7% for the ongoing July-September quarter to 61% and it might hit 70% in the coming quarters largely driven by hiring from tier-2 cities. Now, if we look at most of the listed PSUs, employee headcount has shrunk in FY22. This was the trend observed across sectors. Employment in PSUs is categorised as ‘on-roll' and ‘off-roll'. Managerial staff, supervisory and non-executive employees fall under the on-roll category. Casual and contract workers are classified as ‘off-roll' staff. India's largest state-owned bank State Bank of India headcount was lower at 244,250 in FY22, compared with 245,652 in FY21. Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) too saw its employee strength drop marginally to 31,254. Meanwhile, BPCL employees fell to 8,594 in FY22 from over 9,000 in the previous fiscal. Meanwhile, Coal India and GAIL too saw its employee count drop. Indian Railways' ticketing and tourism arm IRCTC and SBI Life Insurance are the only companies among the top 15 PSUs that have reported an increase in the employee strength in FY22. According to a report in a national daily, the fall in employee count has been coming down for many years. SBI saw its employee numbers go up when there was a merger with five other small banks in 2017-18. ONGC and NTPC had reported employee increase or hired many years ago. So, what explains this phenomenon and why are PSU companies not hiring or increasing their headcount? [Byte of Radhicka Kapoor, Senior Visiting Fellow, ICRIER]

In Bengaluru, BWSSB manages piped water supply and sewerage, BESCOM distributes electricity, BMTC runs public buses, BMRCL runs the city metro rail, just to name a few. Similarly, there are many agencies that execute infrastructure projects across the state. Almost all of them are divorced from locally elected governments, and often fail to deliver well on public objectives. Sudhira HS returns to Episode 144 of the Thale-Harate Kannada Podcast to explain the byzantine nature of these public agencies. He shares the evolution of electricity institutions in Karnataka, shares how governmental agencies work in reality, and explains where and how they fail. He explores the limits of corporatisation and its role in governance, and where market mechanisms can apply well and where they can fail and create monopolies.Dr Sudhira HS (Google Scholar Profile) is Director of Gubbi Labs (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram), a research collective based out of Gubbi, near Tumkur, in Karnataka. Gubbi Labs conducts research, workshops and consulting on a host of issues ranging from mapping, urban planning, environmental conservation and more. Sudhira has a PhD from the Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru, and works on geospatial analysis, urban growth and governance, as well as science communication and public education.Sudhira was previously on Episode 35 of Thale-Harate in 2019, to explain how GIS, GPS and Remote sensing technology works and can help in a nation's development.

Ten percent of vacancies in central government jobs in Group C and 20 per cent in Group D are reserved for ex-servicemen. For public sector banks, central public sector units and CAPFs, the reservation is 14.5 per cent in Group C and 24.5 per cent in Group D. But, Directorate General Resettlement data shows that states, central public sector units, and Central Armed Police Forces have failed to recruit against the vacancies reserved for ex-servicemen. Only 2.4 per cent of veterans who applied for a job could get one because of that. As of June last year, ex-servicemen constituted only 1.15 per cent of the Group C strength and 0.3 per cent of the Group D strength in 94 of the 170 CPSUs. Between 32 central ministries, only 1.60 per cent of the 22,168 positions reserved for veterans have been filled. The Indian Railways could only fill 1.4 percent of the positions reserved for retired armed forces personnel. A spokesperson for the Indian Railways has said that recruitment for around 24,242 vacancies of ex-servicemen was currently underway. For the ten defence PSUs, where the Centre has announced a 10 per cent reservation for the Agnipath scheme, veterans comprised only 3.45 per cent and 2.71 per cent of Group C and Group D posts, respectively. As of June 2021, only 0.62 percent of positions reserved for veterans have been filled by paramilitary forces, which are made up of the BSF, CRPF, ITBP, SSB, and CISF. Meanwhile, the central government has announced that 10 percent of vacancies in the CAPFs would be reserved for Agniveer. This graphic should reveal itself category by category, like Central Public Sector Units first, and then in order. It should be matched to the script above in VO3, where CPSUs come first, followed by central ministries and then paramilitary forces, in that order. By the end of 2020, Bihar, UP, Punjab and Haryana, which cumulatively account for 80 per cent of the Indian armed forces, had given jobs to only 1.5 percent out of the 200,000 veterans who had registered for a job. Officials of state Sainik Boards say that while most states have reservations under the ex-servicemen quota for all positions, they are reluctant to recognise the graduation certificate issued by the military. Under the Agnipath Pravesh Yojana, young candidates will be recruited for four-year tenures of service in the military. As many as 46,000 Agniveers are to be recruited this year. From each batch of Agniveer, the government will retain the best. Up to 25 per cent of each year's intake will be chosen to remain in service. While the government has announced reservations across sectors for the Agniveers, the hiring trend of ex-servicemen in government sectors does not paint an optimistic picture. The morale of those who secure our borders is just as important as the weapons we arm them with. The government should consider the following question -- if the Agniveer find themselves worrying about an uncertain future, will that bode well for the country?
