@Mf360WW What you are referring to is the Bucket Strategy. Now based on your experience, what % of the corpus you would allocate to Bucket-1, 2 and 3 as a top-down approach? Of course, you can have a detailed bottom-up approach based on your defined goals, expenses per buckets
@Mf360WW It will be great if you can share your views, findings on Structured Products (Market Linked Debentures) issued by many organisations like Anand Rathi, etc.
@FFBobby_ This is a great effort from your side! If you are planning to update this during the tournament, my suggestion would be to put this in a Google Sheet file & share the same with all. You can provide read-only access. That way, many people would get a real-time updated view.
@menakadoshi This is one of the many so-called journalists who portrays India negatively 99% of the times. Have read a lot of her Bloomberg India newsletter for few years now. Instead of providing 'facts', she provides her opinions! When challenged, she agreed that those are her opinions!
1. Two sabotage attempts have been made in 3 months targeting a stretch of the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor in Punjab. #CutTheClutter looks at the DFC — one of India’s most ambitious infrastructure & logistics projects — explains its strategic importance & traces its journey from 2005, when it was approved.
2. DFC is a high-capacity, high-speed rail corridor built exclusively for freight. No passenger trains are allowed. We have 2: The Eastern DFC & the Western DFC, which together span 2,843 km across 9 states & 77 districts. This has greatly improved India’s logistics timings. For example, a normal goods train would take 3 days from Mumbai to Delhi. Now, with the DFC, it takes 48 hours.
3. Eastern DFC is from Sonnagar (Bihar) to Sahnewal (Punjab) & Western DFC is from Dadri (UP) to Mumbai. DFCs has its own stations linked to highways so heavy goods containers can be emptied quickly & do not clutter existing railway stations. The Eastern DFC has, in fact, made a huge difference in the transportation of coal — 68% of all freight transported.
4. Currently, the average tonnage a freight train carries in India is 5,400 tons (global average is 20,000-37,000 tons). So, heavy items like cement, steel, FMCG goods, automobiles, auto parts, and agricultural goods suffer delays. In 1950, railways carried 68% of India’s freight. By 2021-22, that fell to 26%, with highways taking over — at higher cost, clogged roads & pollution. Now, DFC aims to reverse that trend by pulling freight back to rail.
5. More corridors have already been approved:
· The 2,155km East-West Corridor — from Dankuni (West Bengal) to Surat (Gujarat)
· The 1,115km North-South Corridor — from Itarsi (Madhya Pradesh) to Vijaywada (Andhra)
· The 975km East Coast Corridor — from Kharagpur (West Bengal) to Vijaywada (Andhra)
· And 538km which could not be done with Eastern DFC. This is being done in 2 phases — about 400km from Sonnagar to Andal & 163km from Andal to Dankuni
6. And, finally, some exciting developments. India now has its longest & most powerful freight train — Rudrastra, which is 4.5km long with 7 engines. On August 7, 2025, it set a record by hauling 25,488 tons. Another is Super Vasuki, which is 3.5km long & hauled 25,962 tons.

For decades, the global financial order has been anchored by the "petrodollar" system, an arrangement that grants the United States the "exorbitant privilege" This article focuses on the history of those who challenged this hegemony.

Have you wondered how can the same #LLM model (like #ChatGPT#Gemini ) do mathematical & logical tasks (like code writing) on one hand, and do creative tasks (like brainstorming, writing stories) on the other hand?

It's time to boycott @PrimeVideoIN for their obstrusive ads even in a prime plan!
Producers & Directors of movies & shows - take note that people are stopping their subscriptions off this platform! Time for you to put your work in other platforms
@DezervHQ For a Mutual Fund portfolio uploaded on your portal, do you provide data on volatility & risks (like standard deviation, Sharpe Ratio, etc) for the full portfolio?
@Shaji4Football On the last bullet point - this will depend on how AIFF brings in partners and sponsors. If we go by past records, it does not generate any confidence at all. Hence, what's the probability of this being successful at all?
