Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Food apps hike festive fees Swiggy and Zomato (now Eternal) have raised platform fees—₹15 and ₹12 in metros—while adding surge, rain, and distance charges. With GST now at 18% on deliveries, your festive orders will cost more. But convenience rules, and platforms know demand spikes 30–50% during this season. Even a ₹2–3 hike per order translates into crores as they process 5 million orders daily. Afghan quake toll rises Twin earthquakes have killed over 2,200 and injured 3,600 in eastern Afghanistan, flattening villages and leaving 6,700 homes in ruins. Survivors face harsh weather and dwindling aid as the UN warns food and medicine could run out in weeks. Entire communities are shattered, with almost 98% of homes destroyed in some districts. EU looks to India European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen says India has a key role in ending the Ukraine war, after talks with PM Modi. Both sides also push to conclude a long-delayed free trade pact this year, with the next round of talks set for September 8 in New Delhi. Gold slips, stocks jump Gold cooled as investors shifted to equities after GST reforms. MCX gold futures fell to ₹1,06,704, silver to ₹1,24,850, even as Sensex and Nifty rallied nearly 1%. Analysts advise booking profits and waiting for dips before fresh gold buys. SoftBank trims Ola stake SoftBank cut its Ola Electric holding to 15.68%, selling 95 million shares. Ironically, Ola stock soared 61% in August—its best rally since listing—driven by Bhavish Aggarwal's roadmap and China lifting rare earth restrictions. Losses narrowed, but revenue halved year-on-year. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In March this year, a software developer that goes by Pea Bee online published a blog rather ominously titled ‘Everyone knows all the apps on your phone'. He found that several Indian app-based startups are flouting rules of Google Play—Android's app store—to access people's data. In particular, some apps use a workaround to scrutinise the names and usage patterns of other apps on people's phones. In real time.Now, the fact that apps have a lot of your data may not be a surprise to you. We've been pretty cavalier about our data for some time now. Remember Digi Yatra? But the scary thing is that Indian companies are equally nonchalant about the user data they collect. The result? Data-security breaches have been on the rise. So what is a data conscious Indian customer to do?

Niet alleen het hoofdkantoor van de Fed wordt verbouwd, ook het bestuur van de Amerikaanse centrale bank moet er aan geloven. Trump benoemt namelijk zijn economisch adviseur Stephen Miran.

Pyng, launched on 15 April, is quite a departure from Swiggy's core food-focused business. The service marketplace, uncharted territory for Swiggy, is offering services of “verified professionals” (think therapists, chartered accountants, and even energy healers).
