The previous Union Budget had multiple announcements regarding Bihar. Can we expect something similar in the upcoming Budget for the four poll-bound states? I write on this in the Deccan Herald.

May this #NationalStartupDay (Jan 16) see India’s startups start prioritising truly global innovation, moving beyond safe wins, and laying strong governance foundations? After all, "Yesterday’s home runs don’t win today’s games”.

Yes, Indian football needs better structure. But professional players can't use it as a blanket excuse to justify pathetic results of the men's national team: no wins in 2024 & just one in 2025, despite often playing vs lower-ranked sides & at home.

Pinning all the blame on a CEO is easy when things go horribly wrong, with public image taking a beating and stock prices falling. But shouldn’t a company’s Board, which sets direction and exercises oversight, also be held accountable?

A weaker rupee may help India’s tech exporters today. But it can’t replace the deeper need for India’s IT companies to reinvent themselves to stay competitive tomorrow.

With #COP30 approaching, it’s encouraging to see @NITIAayog push for #innovation in #ClimateTech. Strengthening this space can help India balance growth with its #climate goals, boost #AtmanirbharBharat, and align with #MissionLiFE.

Air pollution | A problem for which myriad solutions are proposed each year, but remains unresolved.

Time to come up with a new playbook to tackle the air pollution challenge, and more importantly use that playbook?

Infosys may trail TCS in headcount, but it's encouraging to see the former report a rise in headcount in the Sept '25 quarter vs. June.

In the age of AI, those who build the tools shape the future. Something for India's local tech majors to think about?

India is the fastest-growing large economy, yet job creation lags. NITI Aayog’s ‘Roadmap for Job Creation in the AI Economy’ is timely. By 2031, India’s tech sector may lose 1.5M jobs or create 4M. Choices made now will be key.

ICICI Bank has made a quick walkback on the monthly average balance (MAB) norm. Going forward, can we expect India's private banks to exercise more circumspection while taking calls on MAB? Won't that also be good for their business?

[Sumali Moitra @sumalimoitra]

ICICI Bank mandates ₹50K MAB for new savings accounts in metro & urban locations from Aug '25.
India's the fastest-growing large economy, but is this move:
A sign of confidence in rising incomes?
A setback for financial inclusion?
Just business?
