RBI Pushes Banks to Adopt ‘.bank.in' Domain for Safer Digital Banking In a major cybersecurity move, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has asked all banks to migrate to the new ‘.bank.in' domain by October 31, 2025. The initiative aims to curb rising digital payment frauds and phishing attacks, enhancing user trust in digital banking. The migration will be managed by IDRBT, under the supervision of NIXI and the Ministry of Electronics and IT. Banks are urged to begin the transition immediately, with IDRBT guiding the technical process. 2. IMF Cuts India's Growth Forecast Amid Global Trade Slowdown The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has slashed India's FY26 growth forecast to 6.2% from 6.5%, citing global trade tensions and policy uncertainty. IMF chief economist Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas said businesses are pausing investments due to the volatile environment. Despite the downgrade, India remains the fastest-growing major economy, with FY27 growth pegged at 6.3%. However, the global outlook is dim: trade growth for 2025 is seen at just 1.7%, and advanced economies like the US and Europe are expected to slow sharply. 3. Trident Launches ₹2,000 Cr Fund for Growth-Stage Startups Trident Growth Partners, backed by Ranjan Pai's Claypond Capital, has launched a ₹2,000 crore fund to support Series B and C startups across sectors like consumer, fintech, healthcare, and tech. The fund will invest ₹150–170 crore in 10–12 companies with scalable models. Trident's backers include startup founders from Lenskart, Policybazaar, KreditBee, and Livspace. With a strong exit record from 14 unicorns and 8 IPOs, Trident has already made its first bet in SaaS firm Spotdraft and is lining up more deals, aiming to bridge India's mid-market funding gap. 4. Mutual Fund Fees Rise Despite Market Slump Investors in direct equity mutual funds are facing a double whammy — market downturns and higher expense ratios (TERs). A Mint analysis found that 62% of direct equity schemes increased TERs from Sept 2024 to March 2025, even as many saw asset growth. While Sebi caps TERs based on fund size, there's no rule on timing of hikes, creating room for asset managers to raise fees strategically. In contrast, regular plans — which include distributor commissions — mostly kept or cut their TERs. Sebi's earlier proposal to shift TER slabs to the AMC level is currently on hold. 5. HCLTech Leads in Growth, Warns of Weak FY26 HCL Technologies outpaced peers like TCS, Infosys, and Wipro with 4.3% revenue growth in FY25, reaching $13.84 billion. But it projects just 2–5% growth for FY26, its slowest outlook since 2020, amid macro uncertainty and tariff headwinds. CEO C. Vijayakumar cited weak discretionary spending and client delays. Net profit rose 7.65% to $2.04 billion, with margins expanding due to strong performance in its software products arm. Still, HCLTech cut over 4,000 jobs, signaling a cautious approach to hiring, unlike its peers. The company says FY26 hiring will be “quarterly and cautious,” as AI and soft demand reshape the IT workforce.

To get your dose of daily business news, tune into Mint Top of the Morning on Mint Podcasts available on all audio streaming platforms. https://open.spotify.com/show/7x8Nv1RlOKyMV5IftIJwP1?si=bf5ecbaedd8f4ddc This is Nelson John, and I'll bring you the top business and tech stories, let's get started.  Last week, the Indian stock market hit the brakes—and hard. The Sensex plunged over 2,000 points, Nifty dropped more than 600, wiping out a two-week rally. The trigger? Donald Trump's tariff hike announcement rattled global markets, sending IT and metal stocks into a tailspin—down 7–9%. Banks and FMCG held steady, but foreign investors flipped to sellers, deepening the slide. This week is crucial. The RBI's monetary policy meet on April 9, along with IIP and CPI data, will set the tone. TCS kicks off Q4 earnings on April 10, adding to the market's watchlist. Technically, Nifty's support sits at 22,600—if that breaks, 22,100 could be next. Bank Nifty is showing some strength and might just be the market's silver lining. Meanwhile, Skoda Auto Volkswagen India is in hot water over a ₹11,526 crore tax dispute. India's customs department claims Skoda misclassified imported parts as something other than Completely Knocked Down (CKD) kits between 2012 and 2024—costing the exchequer big. Skoda disagrees and has taken the matter to the Bombay High Court. But customs officials say the automaker delayed proceedings by not submitting critical documents—even after repeated requests. A past probe also found Skoda concealed 31 agreements with foreign affiliates. The court has yet to rule, but the government wants adjudication to begin—immediately. India's PM E-Drive scheme for electric trucks? Still stuck in neutral. One year in, not a single rupee of the ₹500 crore fund has been used. No trucks subsidized. No localization rules issued. The scheme, meant to boost clean logistics, is now looking to steel, cement, ports, and logistics sectors to revive demand. But without a clear Phased Manufacturing Programme (PMP), truckmakers are stuck. They say they need 18 months once rules are notified—but the clock's ticking. The scheme ends FY26. Still, the market is moving quietly—over 6,000 electric goods carriers were sold in 2024, up from 2,600 in 2023. Chinese major BYD is leading the charge, but with ₹150 crore unused this fiscal, the government's got work to do—and fast. Premium Indian whiskies might just dodge the U.S. tariff bullet. A fresh 26% duty hike on Indian liquor exports is worrying—but top-shelf single malts are holding their own. “Even a 30% hike won't shake premium buyers,” says Radico Khaitan's Amar Sinha. Last year, Indian alcohol exports to the U.S. surged nearly 50% to $10.5 million. The high margins and lifestyle positioning of premium whiskies are helping absorb the blow. But the pain is real for small and mid-sized distillers, especially in low-duty categories like ethyl alcohol. Industry leaders are pushing both governments to strike a balance before long-term growth is jeopardized. And finally, Wipro is going all-in on AI—guided by a new face. Ali Wasti, a veteran deep-tech investor, has joined Wipro Ventures as co-managing partner. He replaces retiring co-founder Venu Pemmaraju. Wasti previously led investments at HPE's Pathfinder Ventures and brings deep AI and cybersecurity chops. Wipro just topped up its $500 million venture fund with another $200 million, aiming to back startups whose tech can be integrated into Wipro's services. With 37 portfolio companies—mostly U.S.-based—Wipro is now eyeing AI-powered enterprise solutions as the next frontier. In today's IT landscape, this isn't just strategy—it's survival.

SummaryIn this conversation, Maribel Lopez speaks with Ivana Bartoletti, the Global Privacy Chief Officer at Wipro, about the intersection of AI, privacy, and governance. They discuss the transformative impact of generative AI, the importance of embedding ethics in AI development, and the role of synthetic data in mitigating bias. Ivana also shares insights on the Audrey initiative aimed at promoting human rights in the digital age and highlights common mistakes in AI regulation. The conversation concludes with a positive outlook on the collaborative efforts to build fair and responsible AI.TakeawaysPublic trust is essential to harness AI's benefits.Generative AI is transforming how we live and work.Privacy is a crucial collective good that must be respected.Ethics in AI goes beyond compliance with laws.AI should retain human agency and decision-making.Bias in algorithms can perpetuate social inequalities.Synthetic data can help mitigate bias but has limitations.Transparency in data usage is vital for equity.AI regulation should not be seen as opposing innovation.Collaboration across sectors is key to responsible AI governance.You can follow Ivana here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivana-bartoletti-77b2b29/You can follow me here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maribellopez/https://www.youtube.com/@AIwithMaribelLopezhttps://x.com/MaribelLopez

The 15th Finance Commission aims to push states toward financial self-reliance. While overall central transfers to states have crossed ₹9.89 lakh crore in FY25, direct revenue support has dwindled. Strong state tax revenue growth (11.1% in H1 FY25) is helping, but fiscal deficits remain near the 3% threshold. The big question: Can states sustain financial discipline without heavy central backing? Samsung Hit with $601M Tax Demand Samsung Electronics faces a $601 million tax demand from Indian authorities over alleged tariff evasion on telecom equipment imports. Officials claim Samsung misclassified “Remote Radio Heads” (RRH) to avoid 10-20% duties. The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) launched a probe in 2021, revealing Samsung imported $784 million worth of RRHs duty-free between 2018 and 2021. Samsung denies wrongdoing and is exploring legal options. This case is part of India's broader scrutiny of foreign firms' import practices—Volkswagen is also under investigation for a hefty back-tax demand. Gold Rally Keeps SGB Investors from Cashing Out Gold prices are soaring, but investors in Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs) aren't redeeming. Despite 14.7 tonnes being eligible for early exit, only 0.5 tonnes have been encashed, as many expect prices to touch ₹1 lakh per 10 gm amid geopolitical tensions. SGBs, introduced in 2015, offer an 8-year tenure with early exit after five years. Those who invested in 2017-18 at ₹2,951 per gm are now sitting on a 14.7% annualized return, outpacing Nifty's 13.4%. Some experts advise locking in gains and shifting to fixed deposits yielding 7-8%. Meanwhile, gold ETFs are gaining traction, with assets nearly doubling in a year. Wipro GE Healthcare Bets Big on Local Manufacturing Wipro GE Healthcare has launched a $1 billion investment plan to boost local manufacturing, aiming to produce 70% of its products in India by 2030, up from 40-45% today. The company exports medical devices to 70 countries, with the US and Europe as key markets. While US reciprocal tariffs on Indian medtech are a concern, Wipro GE remains confident, citing its diversified supply chain. The investment will expand R&D, manufacturing capacity, and add a new facility to its four existing plants in Karnataka. With India's medtech sector projected to grow 20-23% annually, Wipro GE is positioning itself for a surge in demand. Indian Defence Stocks Poised for a Rebound? Indian defence stocks have slumped in the recent market sell-off, but analysts see a turnaround as US-India defence ties deepen. During Trump's first term, India gained license-free access to critical US military tech. While a second Trump presidency may initially prioritize US defence exports over Indian collaboration, long-term prospects remain strong. The US-India joint statement in February outlined plans for a 10-year defence partnership, co-production agreements, and an industry alliance for autonomous systems. Meanwhile, India's own defence push is accelerating, with ₹54,000 crore in fresh military acquisitions and a ₹50,000 crore annual defence export target by 2029. However, analysts caution that some stocks remain overvalued, and investors should adopt a selective approach.

Passenger traffic surged 17% YoY, lifting revenue per seat. Since January, the stock has gained 25%, delivering a 58% annual return—far outpacing the Nifty 50. However, its valuation of 9.5x earnings exceeds global airline peers like Air China (8.8x) and the industry average (5.5x). IndiGo plans to expand international capacity from 28% to 40% by 2030, adding one aircraft per week and cutting grounded planes. Despite strong fundamentals, analysts warn the upside is limited, with Motilal Oswal and Nuvama setting target prices below its current ₹5,097 level. Eli Lilly Brings Mounjaro to India Eli Lilly has launched Mounjaro, its diabetes and weight-loss drug, in India after securing regulatory approval. With over 101 million diabetes cases and rising obesity, India is a key market for the pharma giant. Already sold in the UK and Europe under the same name and as Zepbound in the U.S., Mounjaro is expected to tap into a global obesity drug market projected to reach $150 billion annually by the 2030s. CEO David Ricks had hinted at a 2025 India launch, and now it's a reality. Accenture's Warning Spells Trouble for IT Sector Accenture flagged macroeconomic uncertainty in the U.S., citing weaker earnings and federal contract delays under the Trump administration. The IT giant's Q2 revenue fell 5.8% sequentially to $16.66 billion but grew 5.4% YoY. Its Q3 revenue outlook remains between $16.9 billion and $17.5 billion, with full-year growth guidance capped at 7%. For Indian IT majors like TCS, Infosys, and Wipro, this signals headwinds, as analysts predict slower growth for India's $283-billion IT sector in FY26 due to high interest rates and geopolitical risks. However, AI offers a bright spot—Accenture secured $1.4 billion in Gen AI bookings last quarter, with total AI-related orders hitting $5.6 billion since September 2023. The Corporate Rebranding Wave: More Than Just a Name Change? Following Zomato's shift to Eternal, CK Birla Group's HIL Ltd has rebranded as BirlaNu Ltd, while Hindalco has also refreshed its identity. Experts say rebranding reflects strategic shifts, next-gen leadership, and market differentiation. Over 1,100 Indian companies have changed names in the past two decades, with BFSI, real estate, and IT leading the trend. A third of newly listed companies rebrand within five years of their IPO, highlighting competitive pressures. But does it impact stock prices? Not necessarily—PwC's Raghav Narsalay notes that unless tied to a major business shift, investor reactions remain muted. India Approves ₹54,000 Crore Defence Boost India has cleared a massive military upgrade, approving key acquisitions for the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Highlights include: • Air Force: Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) aircraft to enhance aerial surveillance. • Army: Upgraded 1,350-HP engines for T-90 tanks, improving mobility in high-altitude regions. • Navy: Indigenously developed Varunastra torpedoes for anti-submarine warfare. The Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), led by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, also announced measures to speed up procurement as part of the government's “Year of Reforms” initiative. These moves reinforce India's focus on military modernization and operational readiness.

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

It's Thursday, March 13th, 2025. This is Nelson John, let's get started.  1. Saudi's Riyadh Air Eyes India for Expansion Riyadh Air, Saudi Arabia's new airline, sees India as a key market, with CEO Tony Douglas calling it “super important.” Set to begin operations this year, the airline is in early talks with Air India and IndiGo for potential partnerships. Riyadh Air plans to connect Saudi Arabia to over 100 destinations by 2030 and has already partnered with Singapore Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, and Delta. With a fleet of Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners and Airbus A321 neos, the airline is tapping into India's booming aviation market, where Indians form the second-largest expat group in Saudi Arabia. Notably, 16% of Riyadh Air's staff are Indian. 2. Estée Lauder, DPIIT to Boost India's Beauty Startups India's beauty and personal care startups are set for a major push as the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) partners with US cosmetics giant Estée Lauder. Through its BEAUTY&YOU India initiative, the collaboration will offer funding, mentorship, and global industry access, with a special focus on women-led startups. India's beauty market is expected to grow from $7.43 billion in 2025 to $9.69 billion by 2034. “This is a first-of-its-kind initiative,” said Sanjiv, Joint Secretary, DPIIT. With India boasting the world's third-largest startup ecosystem, this partnership could drive innovation and scaling opportunities for beauty entrepreneurs. 3. India's IT Stocks Plunge Amid Growth Concerns India's top IT firms—TCS, Infosys, HCL Tech, Wipro, and Tech Mahindra—saw their stocks fall up to 4.28%, erasing ₹75,414 crore in market value. Brokerages Morgan Stanley, Kotak Institutional Equities, and Motilal Oswal flagged concerns over sluggish IT spending recovery in FY26-27. High interest rates, geopolitical tensions, and vendor consolidation are slowing discretionary tech spending. “We see a transition phase where IT spending is reprioritized, moderating growth,” noted Morgan Stanley analysts. Despite these headwinds, Nasscom projects the IT industry to cross $300 billion by March 2026, implying 6.2% annual growth, though analysts remain skeptical. 4. Gold's Surge Raises India's Sovereign Gold Bond Liabilities As gold prices soar and equities struggle, the Indian government faces rising liabilities on its Sovereign Gold Bond (SGB) scheme, which ties payouts to gold's market price. Gold has outperformed equities since 2015, rising 3.46 times its value, while Nifty 50 has declined. ₹2.39 trillion has already been paid under gold-related schemes since 2017, with another ₹1.4 trillion budgeted for 2024-26. With 132,000 kg of gold equivalent set for payout between 2025 and 2032, a prolonged gold rally could strain government finances, making this a key issue for policymakers and investors. 5. Wendy's, Rebel Foods to Open 500 Locations in India by 2028 Rebel Foods will invest ₹100-150 crore to expand Wendy's footprint in India, targeting 500 locations by 2028. The expansion leans heavily on cloud kitchens, which will account for 70% of new openings. Currently, Wendy's operates in 200 locations, with 185 cloud kitchens and 15 offline stores. India's quick-service restaurant (QSR) market is growing at a 23% CAGR, but profitability remains challenging due to inflation and competition. Rebel Foods CEO Ankush Grover expects the IPL season to boost sales. Rebel Foods, which runs over 450 cloud kitchens across India, the Middle East, and the UK, recently raised $210 million from Temasek to fuel expansion.

It's Wednesday, March 5th, 2025. This is Nelson John, let's get started.  India's Steel Industry Faces Tariff Fallout India's steel industry was on a growth path—until US tariffs disrupted global trade flows. With Washington slapping 25% tariffs on steel from Mexico and Canada and doubling duties on Chinese imports, China's steel exports to the US have become unviable. This surplus steel now threatens to flood India, driving prices down and squeezing margins. “India becomes the natural target for Chinese steel at the worst possible time,” warns Karan Pahuja of ISSDA. While some see opportunity—like Abhyuday Jindal of Jindal Stainless, who notes that Indian exports to the US may gain—others worry that surplus steel from Korea and Japan could also hit domestic markets. The industry is now looking to the Indian government for protective measures. BSE Stock Tumbles Amid SEBI Proposal—But Is Panic Justified? BSE shares plunged 20% after SEBI's February 24 consultation paper raised concerns over trading volumes. At issue is SEBI's plan to change how open interest is calculated in index derivatives, shifting to a delta-based method to reduce systemic risks. But fears may be overblown—SEBI's own data shows that in 89% of cases last November, the proposed limits wouldn't have been breached. Additionally, SEBI's move to restrict derivatives to broader indices aims to prevent manipulation, but exchanges could tweak index compositions to comply. With single-stock derivatives also facing new limits, analysts believe only low-liquidity stocks will be affected. After four days of declines, BSE shares rebounded 2%, signaling investors are reassessing the panic. SEBI's ‘Mitra' Helps Investors Recover Forgotten Mutual Funds Millions of old mutual fund investments remain unclaimed, particularly those opened before PAN was mandatory in 2006. SEBI's new digital assistant, Mitra, developed by KFin Technologies and CAMS, aims to fix this. Investors can visit MFcentral.com, enter their details (beyond just PAN), and track down inactive folios. While verification remains a challenge for accounts with outdated contact details, experts see Mitra as a game-changer. “It's a much-needed tool to consolidate scattered investments,” says Abhishek Kumar of SahajMoney. Still in beta, Mitra marks SEBI's latest effort to safeguard investor wealth and modernize financial tracking. Adani Wilmar Expands Into Packaged Foods With ₹603 Crore Deal Adani Wilmar, known for its Fortune and Kohinoor brands, is strengthening its foothold in Indian kitchens. The company is acquiring G.D. Foods—makers of Tops ketchup and noodles—for ₹603 crore as part of its ₹1,000 crore push into packaged foods. The deal gives Adani Wilmar access to a range of processed products and a retail presence in 150,000 stores across North India. MD Angshu Mallick emphasized their commitment to scaling Tops, positioning it alongside FMCG giants like Marico, ITC, and Tata Consumer. With this acquisition, Adani Wilmar aims to turn Tops into a household staple. India's IT Giants Face Growth Uncertainty Amid US Banking Slowdown India's IT heavyweights—TCS, Infosys, HCLTech, Wipro, and Tech Mahindra—are entering uncertain territory. US banks, their largest clients, are pausing tech investments due to inflation worries and trade tensions. JM Financial's Abhishek Kumar warns, “Uncertainty has crept in… Trade war seems imminent.” Banking contributes nearly a third of revenues for these IT firms, meaning any spending cuts could hit growth. Adding to concerns, Capgemini forecasts zero organic growth this year, signaling global headwinds. Kotak analysts expect FY26 to be marginally better than FY25 but still below pre-pandemic levels, with weak discretionary spending and AI-driven pricing pressures weighing on the sector. Nasscom predicts IT revenue will cross $300 billion next year, but analysts caution that achieving this won't be easy amid economic challenges.

Akshayakalpa is a weird business (weird in a good way) - it is one of the largest soil management companies in India - but ended up selling milk to create a sustainable business for its stakeholders (primarily farmers).And in the process, created a 400 cr+ (~$50mn) revenue business - accidentally!My next guest in #UnPluggdWithSinha podcast is Shashi Kumar, Cofounder and CEO of Akshayakalpa - India's first certified organic dairy enterprise bringing together a balance of practices based in science and the traditional heritage of dairy farming.Topics we discussed:How Akshayakalpa's business model is a gamechanger (It is among the top soil management company in India, ended up selling milk as it offers a compelling value prop to farmers - faster revenue cycle being the most important one).Shashi's startup journey - he worked with Wipro, was in US. So why come back to India and go back to farming - something his parents wanted him to never take up (can you believe that his father did not speak to him for 8 years after he decided to take up farming as a career).- Why India being one of the largest producers of milk doesn't stand a chance in global diaspora?- Why most agritech startups trying to disrupt middle-men fail.- What's the future of food? Answer: We are in a serious troubleAs a consumer - what is it that you need to understand about food ecosystem? Is your food producer making enough money?The UnPluggd with sinha conversations bring you the very best of India's startup ecosystem (minus the hype) in an informal setup.Wanna suggest guests for the show?

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, February 7, 2025. This is Nelson John, let's get started. State Bank of India (SBI) posted a net profit of ₹16,891 crore for Q3 FY25, an 84.3% year-on-year surge. Chairman C.S. Setty highlighted a pickup in private capital expenditure, though sectors like steel remain sluggish, report Anshika Kayastha and Gopika Gopakumar. Despite these headwinds, SBI's corporate loan pipeline remains solid, with ₹4.8 trillion in sanctioned or under-process loans as of December-end. Setty is confident about meeting the bank's 14-16% credit growth target for FY25, supported by budget measures aimed at boosting disposable income and consumption, which are expected to fuel credit demand. Global private equity giant Blackstone is exploring a potential sale of its majority stake in Bengaluru-based digital learning platform Simplilearn, report Mansi Verma and Sneha Shah. This comes more than three years after its initial $250 million investment. A Simplilearn spokesperson, however, has denied any plans for an exit or the appointment of investment bankers.Since acquiring over 60% of Simplilearn in 2021, Blackstone has seen the company recalibrate its strategy amid a broader slowdown in the edtech sector. Once focused on rapid expansion, Simplilearn has pivoted toward profitability, cutting its FY24 Ebitda losses by 75% by discontinuing select programs and doubling down on core offerings. This shift reflects the broader challenges in edtech, where reduced funding and the return of physical classes post-COVID have pushed many firms to prioritize sustainability over aggressive growth. Employees expecting bigger pay hikes this year may be in for a disappointment, as salary increments are set to be lower than last year's, which were already the smallest in nearly a decade. Consultants and firms Devina Sengupta and Samiksha Goel spoke to cited slower corporate earnings and economic growth as key reasons for tighter budgets and more conservative raises. According to Aon's Annual Salary Increase and Turnover Survey 2023-24, the average salary hike stood at 9.3% in 2024, down from 9.7% in 2023. The outlook for 2025 is even softer, with Mercer forecasting an average increase of 9.4%, a sharp decline from the peak of 10.6% in 2022. With companies shifting focus from aggressive hiring to retaining top talent, some are offering unique perks—such as exclusive credit cards—to keep key employees engaged. However, only a select group of high performers is likely to see significant pay bumps. In a high-profile insider trading case, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has barred two former IT executives, Keyur Maniar and Ramit Chaudhri, from the securities market for a year. Maniar, a former senior vice president at Wipro, and Chaudhri, previously with Infosys, were found guilty of trading on confidential information about Infosys' $1.89 billion deal with Vanguard before its public announcement on July 14, 2020. Sebi's investigation revealed that Chaudhri shared details of the deal with Maniar, who then made ₹2.6 crore in profits from trading Infosys shares. The regulator's surveillance system flagged unusual trading activity around the announcement, leading to a probe that confirmed the misuse of unpublished price-sensitive information. Jas Bardia and Varun Sood  take a deep dive into the Sebi probe and how the case unfolded.Recent hits like Singham Again, Animal, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 reveal a trend where most box office earnings are concentrated in the first week of release. Over 60% of a film's total revenue often comes within its opening days, signalling a shift towards shorter theatre runs. Lata Jha speaks with Rahul Puri of Mukta Arts, who notes that films now face immense pressure to perform immediately, especially with the quick transition to streaming platforms. For movies relying on word-of-mouth to gain traction, this presents a unique challenge. Devang Sampat from Cinepolis India emphasizes that while the opening weekend is key, sustaining positive reviews is crucial for a film's long-term success.

Welcome back to another enlightening episode of The Brand Called You (TBCY). Today, our host Ashutosh Garg engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Shashi Kumar, the visionary Founder and CEO of Akshayakalpa Organic. Shashi shares his remarkable journey from a tech career to revolutionizing organic dairy farming in India. Background:Shashi came from a farming family and witnessed the struggles of making farming viable. Initial Conversations:Along with a group from Wipro, they discussed overhauling traditional farming practices. Accidental Journey:Became an engineer at the cusp of the technology revolution, which influenced his outlook on farming. Fundamental Idea:Focused on making farming profitable and sustainable by managing small problems like soil management.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of January 29 -After showing weakness from Friday's highs, the Nifty50 witnessed a sharp sell-off on Monday, closing at a 7-month low. The index managed to hold levels above 22,800 but ended the day 263 points lower at 22,829, with 42 out of 50 stocks closing in the red. -Most heavyweights saw a closing in the red while ICICI Bank ended higher after Q3 earnings. FMCG stocks like HUL and Britannia were among the top Nifty gainers, both rising over 1%. On the other hand, the IT index fell 3%, dragged down by global cues. HCL Tech, Tech Mahindra, and Wipro were the top Nifty losers. -Going ahead, market sentiment remains on the edge as investors brace for Wednesday's Federal Reserve rate decision and accompanying policy guidance. This unease is further fueled by mixed earnings reports, geopolitical tensions, and the impending Union Budget, all of which have contributed to the prevailing uncertainty. -Stocks to watch: Coal India, Tata Steel, Indraprastha Gas, Kaynes Technology India, Piramal Enterprises -Earnings: Bajaj Auto, Hindustan Zinc, Hyundai Motor India, Bharat Heavy Electricals, Cipla, JSW Energy, Suzlon, ideaForge Technology, and TVS Motor Company -Additionally, global developments weighed heavily on Indian markets. The recent launch of DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup, and former U.S. President Trump's abrupt tariff announcement on Colombia have created fresh headwinds. DeepSeek's emergence as the No. 1 free app on the iOS App Store has intensified concerns, as it positions itself as a free alternative to ChatGPT, which has signaled its intention to shift toward a for-profit model. -Global cues: Most Asian shares dropped following a bruising session on Wall Street caused by fears the valuation of artificial-intelligence companies had become excessive. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index slipped as much as 0.6% with Japan's largest technology firms leading declines. That was after the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 both tumbled Monday as a cheap AI model from Chinese startup DeepSeek fueled concern valuations may be hard to justify. Many Asian markets, including China and South Korea, are shut Tuesday for the start of the Lunar New Year holidays. -In commodities, oil steadied — after sinking by nearly 2% on Monday. Brent crude traded near $77 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate was above $73. -This morning, GIFT Nifty was trading at a premium of nearly 100 points vs Nifty Futures' Monday's close, indicating a gap-up start for the Indian market.

 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, January 22, 2025. This is Nelson John, let's get started. The Reserve Bank of India is making strides towards making the rupee and international currency by allowing non-residents to open rupee accounts in the overseas branches of authorized Indian banks. This move, part of a broader effort to encourage cross-border transactions in the rupee, follows the RBI's consultation with the central government and builds on recommendations from a 2022 RBI committee aimed at integrating the rupee into the global financial system more effectively. Now, non-residents can manage both current and capital transactions with Indian residents through these accounts and also use them to invest in rupee assets, Gopika Gopakumar reports. For example, a non-resident Indian in the U.S. can hold rupees received from exports to India and use them for various payments, including imports back into India. This flexibility could significantly streamline the management of trade finances. However, bankers are cautiously optimistic, noting that the rupee's non-convertible nature might slow its adoption for international transactions. The Union Budget for FY26 is expected to significantly increase financial support for startups and small businesses, which are crucial to India's economy, accounting for nearly one-third of its GDP. The government plans to bolster working capital, trade finance, and growth funding through favourable terms under various schemes managed by the Department of Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade and the Ministry of MSMEs. These sectors are particularly important as they employ over 247 million people amidst India's ongoing job-creation challenges. Expected initiatives include more robust financial backing under existing DPIIT and MSME schemes.  India's top IT firms are charting different courses in their AI journeys. Companies such as Infosys and Tech Mahindra are crafting small AI models that are perfect for specific, cost-sensitive tasks. These smaller models use less data, making them quicker and cheaper to operate. For instance, Infosys has created distinct models for industries such as banking and cybersecurity by combining their rich internal data with some carefully selected external datasets. Meanwhile, other players such as Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro, and HCL Technologies are choosing to expand on existing, broad-scope AI tools known as large language models (LLMs). Jas Bardia writes that this highlights a fundamental choice in AI development between specialisation and scalability. Smaller models offer precise solutions at lower costs, while larger models deliver extensive capabilities but come with higher operational expenses and risks.At Prayagraj's Maha Kumbh Mela, a grand spiritual gathering attracting over 400 million visitors this year, businesses are seizing the opportunity to cater to the massive influx. The festival, held once every 12 years, not only promises spiritual fulfilment but has also turned into a bustling economic hub. According to Sprout Research, the event is expected to generate financial transactions worth around $30 billion. Amidst this, social media influencers are earning significant sums by promoting everything from local businesses to spiritual activities. They look to capture the festival's essence through videos and posts, and charge up to ₹30,000 for a single post. Local tour operators are also capitalizing on the event, offering packages that include holy dips with sadhus for anywhere from ₹50,000 to ₹1 lakh. Even large corporations and banks such as the Reserve Bank of India and Bank of Baroda are using the event to promote digital privacy, cybersecurity and digital payments. Advertising has spiked, with costs for promotional spaces significantly higher than in previous years. Read Devina Sengupta's detailed report on India's unique mela economy from the grounds of the Mahakumbh in Prayagraj. India's bullet train network is set to expand, with the government planning to create new high-speed rail corridors across the country. According to railway minister Ashwini Vaishaw, this expansion will harness indigenous technology developed in collaboration with Japanese experts, building on the experience gained from the Mumbai-Ahmedabad project. The National High Speed Rail Corporation Ltd has already identified seven additional corridors, with detailed project reports for most of them submitted or scheduled for completion soon. This initiative aims to connect major cities via a golden quadrilateral of bullet trains, enhancing connectivity and reducing travel times significantly. The government is also focusing on increasing the indigenization of high-speed rail technology to reduce costs and promote local manufacturing. There are also plans to upgrade the domestically produced Vande Bharat trains to higher speeds to complement the bullet train services.

Marketbuzz Podcast: Indian markets may open in the green according to the GIFT Nifty. Watch out for stocks like Kotak Mahindra Bank, Wipro, RBL Bank and others.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are top news developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of January 17 -Today's market moves will be determined by the Street's reaction to Reliance and Infosys Q3 earnings. -In the previous session, Nifty's winning streak extended into a third consecutive session, though uncertainty persists as the index continues to trade within a limited range. Despite some selling pressure at higher levels after the gap-up opening, the Nifty 50 managed to close above the critical 23,300 resistance level. -Today, market attention will shift to earnings reports from Tech Mahindra, Wipro, and SBI Life. Another key factor will be the market's reaction to Reliance Industries' results. The company delivered a strong quarter, with EBITDA rising 12% quarter-on-quarter versus estimates of 8%, driven by its O2C and Retail segments, while the Telecom and Oil & Gas businesses performed in line with expectations. Additionally, Infosys, Axis Bank, LTIMindtree, and Havells, which released their earnings after market hours on Thursday, will influence Friday's trading sentiment. -According to Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC Securities, the short-term trend of Nifty is positive but the market is lacking its strength to witness sharp upside breakouts of the hurdle. -This morning the GIFT Nifty was lower, trading at a discount of more than 50 points from Nifty Futures Thursday close, indicating a start in the red for the Indian market. -Asian stocks dropped as traders prepared for a swath of Chinese data scheduled Friday including fourth-quarter growth. -Shares in Japan fell as the yen largely held onto gains from earlier in the week, while those in Australia fluctuated. The downward start in Asia comes as a global risk rally this week, fueled by traders re-adjusting Federal Reserve interest rate cut bets following Wednesday's benign inflation data, loses steam. The focus will now shift to official Chinese data due Friday that is likely to show the world's second-largest economy failed to break a deflationary cycle last year. -In the overnight session, benchmark indices on Wall Street took a pause after a three-day rally owing to pressure in shares of big tech. The Dow Jones and S&P 500 fell 0.2% each, but the Nasdaq underperformed, declining 0.9% due to pressure in shares of Apple, Tesla, Nvidia and Alphabet, all of which fell between 1% to 4%. Apple had its worst day since August last year. -In commodities, oil edged higher after a 1.7% drop on Thursday, retreating from a five-month high as the market adjusts to new sanctions on Russian crude and digested mixed signals from President-elect Donald Trump on his intent to uphold the measures. Crude is on track to gain for a fourth week in a row. Gold is set for a third straight week of advances. Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more

Here is are top news from around the world ahead of the trading session of January 13 -This week, all eyes will be on corporate earnings, with HCL Tech, Reliance Industries, Infosys, Axis Bank, and Wipro scheduled to release their results. -Key macroeconomic indicators, including CPI and WPI inflation data, will be closely monitored. Market sentiment will also depend on ongoing foreign fund flows and cues from US markets. -US stocks sold off on Friday, with the S&P 500 erasing its 2025 gains, after an upbeat jobs report stoked fresh inflation fears, reinforcing bets that the Federal Reserve will be cautious in cutting interest rates this year. Wall Street's main indexes closed their second consecutive week in the red. -Stocks slipped in Asia following Friday's strong US jobs data, while oil rose to the highest in more than four months as a fresh wave of US sanctions against Russia threatened to crimp supplies. Shares in Australia and South Korea both fell from the open, pressuring a gauge of the region's shares that's now declined for four consecutive sessions. US equity futures also edged lower after the S&P 500 slipped 1.5% Friday. Japanese markets are closed Monday, which means there's no trading in cash Treasuries in Asian hours. -Global crude benchmark Brent advanced above $81 a barrel, after surging almost 4% in the previous session. The US imposed its most aggressive and ambitious sanctions yet on Russia's oil industry on Friday, targeting two large exporters, insurance companies, and more than 150 tankers. -The GIFT Nifty was trading lower at a discount of more than 150 pts from Nifty Futures Friday close, indicating a gap-down start for the Indian market. -Stocks to watch: HCL Tech, Avenue Supermarts, Just Dial, Adani Wilmar, Waaree Energies, Indian Overseas Bank, Biocon, Sunteck Realty Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues

Welcome to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of December 17 -The Nifty was back into consolidation mode on December 16, trading in a range and eventually ending with a negative bias, giving up some part of the huge recovery it saw on Friday. However, like it did before Friday's session of extremes, the Nifty respected both sides of the range on Monday as well. -Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC Securities says that the near-term uptrend of the Nifty is intact and the market will eventually see an upside breakout of the 24,800 hurdle He continues to advise a buy on every dip with immediate support at 24,550 as the long-term weekly chart is still in an uptrend. -GIFT Nifty was trading at a discount of over 70 points this morning versus Nifty Futures' Monday's close, indicating a start with cuts for Indian market. -Stocks to track: Vedanta, Wipro, Indus Towers, Mindspace REIT, Gravita India, Adani Wilmar, Auto Component makers, GMR Airports, Gopal Snacks, Prataap Snacks, Bikaji Foods, Texmaco Rail, RVNL, RailTel, Varun Beverages, TCS, Mawana Sugars, -22 central banks are about to declare their monetary policy decisions this week.

A key stock benchmark for the region climbed, as did shares in Australia and Japan. Shares in Hong Kong opened lower while those in mainland China fluctuated, showing weak market momentum after soft retail sales data Monday. The moves came after a positive session on Wall Street, where the Nasdaq 100 gained more than 1% to reach another record high. -The main focus remains Wednesday's Fed decision, which will be followed by policy announcements in Japan, the Nordics and the UK this week. -In the corporate world, President-elect Donald Trump announced that SoftBank Group Corp. planned to invest $100 billion in the US over the next four years during an event alongside Chief Executive Officer Masayoshi Son on Monday. Shares of SoftBank rose as much as 4%. -Bitcoin rose to a record high on Trump's support for digital assets and optimism about the upcoming inclusion of MicroStrategy Inc., an accumulator of the token, in a key US stock gauge. -Oil steadied after a decline, after poor economic data from China reinforced concerns about weakening demand in the world's biggest crude importer. Gold was little changed, holding on to a slight gain in its previous session. Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues

Marketbuzz Podcast with Hormaz Fatakia: Nifty at precarious levels amidst earnings heavy session Welcome to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast, here are top developments ahead of the trading session of October 18 -Until the start of this week, there was a struggle for the Nifty to cross the upper end of this 500-point range of 24,700 - 25,250 that it found itself in. As the week draws to a close on Friday, the Nifty bulls are now struggling to defend the lower end of this range, having closed at the lows it had made on September 9. -The Nifty fell for the third day in a row during its weekly options expiry on Thursday and has now declined in four out of the last five trading sessions. With Thursday's drop, the October 7 low of 24,694 now comes into the picture again and defending that will be the first task for the bulls when the markets open on Friday. - The IT run-up will be tested on Friday after Infosys' results, which did not have any positive surprises either. Besides Infosys, shares of Wipro, LTIMindtree, Polycab, Tata Chemicals and others will also be reacting to their quarterly results that were reported after market hours on Thursday. -Foreign institutions were heavy sellers in the cash market on Thursday and their selling intensity also picked up after tapering off for a few sessions. -Asian equities rose, aided by sharp gains in the shares of AI chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Treasuries steadied after heavy selling on Thursday, when new signs of vigor in the US economy led traders to trim expectations for rate cuts.Shares in Japan climbed, helped along by a weaker yen. Those in China fluctuated while stocks in Australia fell. TSMC jumped as much as 6.3% in opening trade, following a sharp rally Thursday for its US-listed shares driven by strong earnings and an upward revision of its 2024 revenue target. -Stocks to watch: Infosys, Wipro, Axis Bank, LTIMindtree, Polycab, Tata Chemicals, Zomato, Indraprastha Gas -GIFT Nifty was trading at discount of nearly 100 pts from Nifty Futures Thursday close, indicating a gap-down start for the Indian market.

Guest: Lisa Dennis        Guest Bio:  Lisa Dennis is a global marketing and sales strategist and consultant. She brings over thirty years of marketing and sales experience to her work with business-to-business clients. She founded the consulting firm, Knowledgence Associates, in 1997 with a core focus of helping sales and marketing teams “see the world through their customers' eyes™." In 2021, Lisa launched a monthly online show, The Messaging Workshop LIVE on The Sales Expert Channel hosted by BrightTALK.   She has worked with companies across a broad range of industries (specialty in high technology, healthcare, insurance, manufacturing, and professional services) including Akamai, Citrix, CSC (now DXC Technology), Dell, FedEx, HP, Hitachi, IBM, Microsoft, Mutual of Omaha, Tufts Health Plan, Verizon, Wipro, and many others.     Guest Links: Value Propositions That Sell   Key Points: Lisa's Books "Value Propositions That Sell: Turning Your Message Into A Magnet That Attracts Buyers" Upcoming: "Do You Speak Buyer? An Integrated Messaging Playbook for Marketing and Sales" (2025)   Career Journey Initial interest in value propositions stemmed from her experience as a product manager for an unpopular product. Influenced by Jill Conrath, who encouraged her to focus on value propositions.   Understanding Value Propositions Common Definition: A statement about what a product/service offers and how it differs from competitors. Lisa's Definition: A buyer-focused statement that demonstrates understanding of the buyer's goals, challenges, and how the solution meets those needs.   Process for Creating Value Propositions 1.     Research and Segmentation: Understand different target audiences; avoid a one-size-fits-all approach. 2.     Two-Page Template: ·       First Page: Value proposition statement outlining customer pains, target audience, and offer. ·       Second Page: Detailed value drivers and proof points to support the messaging.   Emphasizing Buyer-Centric Messaging Use buyer language rather than jargon Focus on emotional context: what challenges buyers face and their aspirations. Conduct interviews with customers to capture their language and sentiments.   Common Mistakes Inwardly-focused value propositions that prioritize company over buyer needs. Using technical jargon that may alienate prospects. Failing to differentiate messages for varied target audiences.   Effective Messaging Techniques Start with the buyer's perspective, using language and issues they relate to. Develop messaging frameworks that allow for customization without starting from scratch.       About Salesology®: Conversations with Sales Leaders Download your free gift, The Salesology® Vault. The vault is packed full of free gifts from sales leaders, sales experts, marketing gurus and revenue generation experts.  Download your free gift, 81 Tools to Grow Your Sales & Your Business Faster, More Easily & More Profitably.

We have unlocked the full and unedited subscriber version of episode four which we released on August 8 for Premium subscribers of The Ken and on Apple Podcasts. Now you can stream it wherever you listen to your podcasts for free for a few weeks.The conventional wisdom is that Bengaluru is India's Silicon Valley. It's the cradle of India's tech revolution. First there was Infosys and Wipro on the IT services side. Then when startups become cool and hip, the default location to get it all started was also Bengaluru. Take the leaders across sectors, and you'll see they belong to Bengaluru — Flipkart, InMobi, Swiggy, PhonePe, Myntra, Ola, Amazon, Unacademy, Byju's…and much more. But of late, it looks like something has changed. There's now a sentiment that Bengaluru is for people who “want to” build startups, but Delhi is for people who build businesses. Delhi companies are the ones who seem to be gutsier, more resilient, and stronger. The list of tech companies that have gone public — Zomato, Paytm, Mamaearth, Infoedge, Delhivery, have one thing in common i.e Delhi. Why is this distance so wide? Do cities really influence businesses that much?Our guests for this episode have stories that might make you agree. Our first guest is Prashant Singh, who's the Head of Product at JAR, in Bengaluru. He's spent 20 years in Delhi, where he set up his own startup and sold it to Paytm. He's now in Bengaluru, and he's not convinced that a city can affect a company's future…but he remembers the early building days of Delhi – a city with a get-thing-done attitude and massive “ops chops.”Our second guest is Arnav Gupta, the Director of Engineering at JioCinema. He has also founded and sold his own edtech startup, as well as led the engineering and product for the Zomato app. Arnav worked in Delhi before VCs pulled him to Bengaluru – and now that he's spent a few years here, he knows what sort of companies only Bengaluru can give birth to, and why. Joined by hosts Rohin Dharmakumar and Praveen Gopal Krishnan, our guests discuss the unique cultural context each city adds to a business, why it's causing a rivalry, and what this means for the Indian startups ecosystem, going forward.If you like the episode rate us on your favorite streaming platform.

Hours after a woman worker of the BJP was killed and seven others were injured after being attacked on Wednesday night, days before the sixth phase of the Lok Sabha elections in the state. As the BJP took to the streets in protest today by torching shops and blocking roads using trees and setting them on fire, security was beefed up with Rapid Action Force and central forces being deployed, apart from the police.A senior Kolkata police officer said that the initial probe into the “murder” of Bangladesh MP Anwarul Azim Anar revealed that one of his friends had paid around Rs 5 crore to kill the neighbouring country's parliamentarian. Anar, who went missing in Kolkata since 13th of May, was found murdered and three people have been arrested, Bangladesh Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan had said on Wednesday. The West Bengal Police had said investigation of the case has been taken up by the state CID.Recent heavy showers have caused significant destruction in Kerala, and resulted in at least four deaths. The India Meteorological Department has issued an orange alert for Ernakulam, Thrissur, Idukki, Palakkad, Malappuram, Kozhikode, and Wayanad districts today. With heavy rainfall forecast, the weather department has also issued a yellow alert for Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Alappuzha, Pathanamthitta, Kottayam, Kannur and Kasargod districts. An ‘orange' alert is an indication to be prepared and warns of waterlogging and major traffic disruptions.Frontline equity index NSE Nifty 50 hit an all-time high of 22,880.55, going past the previous mark of 22,794.  30-share BSE Sensex, along similar lines, is trading 873.12 points, or 1.19 per cent higher, at 75,061.74 points.Among the Sensex firms, Asian Paints, Axis Bank, State Bank of India, Larsen & Toubro, Reliance Industries, Wipro, Titan and Bharti Airtel were the major gainers.

It further stated that those with tourist visas issued by Norway before regulations were tightened in 2022 or issued by another European country will be barred from entering the Scandinavian country as of next week. Justice Minister Emilie Enger Mehl said the tightening was a response to “Russia's illegal war of aggression against Ukraine.” Norway has a 198-kilometer (123-mile) -long border with Russia in the Arctic.This was the Catch-Up on the 3 Things by The Indian Express.
