Quick Glance: AI Revolutionizing Call Centers: TCS Insights

The head of Tata Consultancy Services predicts chatbots will reduce the need for human call center agents significantly, revolutionizing the industry.

TCS's generative AI projects have doubled in value to $900 million by March, highlighting the increasing demand for tech talent and the need for workforce training.

Reports suggest that overall IT services growth is affected by global uncertainties like inflation, war, and elections, leading to a decline in spending and slower revenue growth for companies like TCS and Infosys.

Infosys anticipates a modest 1-3% sales growth in the upcoming financial year due to customers delaying discretionary spending on new tech projects amidst the current economic climate.

The US Senate has unanimously approved a bill that could potentially lead to the banning of TikTok within nine months, unless its Chinese owner, ByteDance, withdraws from the video-sharing app due to concerns about national security threats.

President Joe Biden has confirmed his intention to sign the legislation on Wednesday.

ByteDance acquired the well-known karaoke app Musical.ly and rebranded it as TikTok back in 2017. It has become one of the fastest-growing applications in the United States, boasting 150 million monthly subscribers.

2,200 citizens write to Election Commission seeking action against PM Narendra Modi for hate speech

scroll.in/latest/1066924/2200-citizens-write-to-election-commission-seeking-action-against-pm-narendra-modi-for-hate-speech

Quick Glance: India's Modi Attacks Pro-Muslim Rivals in Election Shift

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Hindu nationalist party have begun attacking opposition rivals, claiming they favor minority Muslims, in an effort to energize their hardline base after the start of general elections last week.

Modi referred to Muslims as 'infiltrators' who have 'more children', linking it to an alleged election plan by the main opposition Congress party to redistribute Hindu wealth among Muslims, a claim denied by the Congress.

Modi's government has faced accusations of discrimination against India's 200 million Muslims, but has denied them, emphasizing its work for the welfare of all citizens.

Modi initially focused on development, welfare, and national pride in his campaign, but shifted focus back to core voters after the first phase, addressing issues of joblessness and rural distress.

Vodafone’s India unit staves off collapse after record $2.2bn fundraising: Country’s largest share sale draws investors including GQG Partners and Fidelity

ft.com/content/be396f5f-8ae3-4717-b42b-73385afdce91

Quick Glance: Vodafone’s Survival in India Secured by Record Fundraising

Vodafone's Indian business raised $2.2 billion through an equity issue to avoid collapsing under a debt burden.

Investors like GQG Partners and Fidelity participated in India's largest ever follow-on share sale.

The 2018 merger failed to turn the business around, but with government support and new equity, a potential rescue is on the horizon.

Despite planning to raise about Rs450 billion in equity and debt, doubts persist over whether this will be sufficient to secure the company's future.

Quick Glance: Time for Kering’s King to Consider a Step Back

Francois-Henri Pinault, Chairman and CEO of Kering, should consider bringing in fresh blood and possibly appointing a new CEO.

In any sector other than luxury, shareholders might have already stepped in to suggest a change at the helm, but at Kering, founding families tightly control the company.

The board of Kering should apply pressure on the chairman to at least give up the CEO role.

Pinault should step back into the chairman's job and leave a new Kering chief the independence they will need.

Archer Aviation, backed by Stellantis and Boeing, aims to begin trials of its electric air taxi in India next year, ahead of a planned commercial launch in 2026.

The company is working with India's aviation watchdog to get the necessary regulatory approvals for trials in the country.

Archer and InterGlobe will, in a joint venture, own and operate 200 of the 'Midnight' aircraft, providing services in India's capital New Delhi, and Mumbai and Bengaluru cities.

The electric aircraft can carry four passengers and a pilot for up to 100 miles, covering the same distance in 7 minutes that would take 60-90 minutes by car in New Delhi.

Quick Glance: Sanofi Struggles with Profit Decline due to Competition and Currency Effects

In the first quarter, Sanofi's operating income decreased by 14.7%, primarily due to currency effects and competitive pressures on their multiple sclerosis drug Aubagio, despite the increase in sales of the anti-inflammatory drug Dupixent.

The company emphasized the forecast that adjusted earnings per share (EPS) for 2024 are expected to decrease by a low single-digit percentage, excluding currency fluctuations.

During a media briefing, Finance chief Francois-Xavier Roger highlighted the impact of the decline in the Argentine Peso on first-quarter international sales.

Since unexpectedly abandoning the 2025 margin targets last October under a plan to boost spending on drug development, CEO Paul Hudson has been working to restore investor confidence in the company's drug pipeline.

Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests

Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.

The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.

No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."

The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.

Quick Glance: Security Concerns Prompt Alternatives for France's Olympic Opening Ceremony

France has developed contingency plans for the July 26 Olympics opening ceremony on the river Seine in response to security concerns, as stated by President Emmanuel Macron on Monday.

Heightened security alert due to conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, along with the threat of terrorist attacks, has prompted action by the French government.

Expressing confidence, Macron believes the anticipated Games ceremony with large crowds by the Seine, involving around 160 boats embarking on a 6 km journey, will be a significant achievement.

The leadership of the United States Olympic and Paralympic teams approves of the security arrangements along the Seine for the opening ceremony, according to the team's security head, Nicole Deal.

Quick Glance: San Francisco's Real Estate Market in Turmoil

The city of San Francisco, once seen as the shining star of the West Coast, is now on the verge of collapse, with seemingly no one raising the alarm.

In particular, the city's housing market has been severely impacted over the past year, with prices plummeting and homeowners fleeing en masse.

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, did not hold back in his comparison of San Francisco's issues to those of New York City, stating that the Bay Area is 'in far worse shape.'

San Francisco is failing in all aspects, leading to a quiet collapse of its housing market, where once luxurious properties are now being offered at significant discounts.

Ram Navami 2024: ‘Surya Tilak’ illuminates Ram Lalla's forehead, PM Modi says ‘emotional moment for me’ | Watch | Mint

Quick Glance: Historic Event: Fusion of Science and Celebration at Ram Lalla's Surya Tilak

The Surya Tilak ceremony for Ram Lalla at Ayodhya's Ram Mandir was a remarkable event that signified a significant turn after 500 years. Followers gathered to witness the event on the auspicious day of Ram Navami as the temple doors opened early in the morning. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust extended the darshan period, stressing that no special arrangements were made for the day.

During the Surya Abhishek or Surya Tilak ceremony, the sun's rays delicately touched the forehead of Ram Lalla. This remarkable occurrence was enabled by a sophisticated mechanism involving mirrors and lenses, symbolizing deep reverence. Developed by researchers from IIT-Roorkee, the device precisely directed sunlight onto the deity at noon, showcasing precision and devotion.

At the Ram Navami festival, followers could engage in darshan from the early hours of the morning, commencing with the Shringaar Aarti of Ram Lalla at 5 a.m. Offerings were presented at the temple exit after the Shayan Aarti. Emphasis was placed on securely storing belongings outside the temple premises to facilitate the darshan process.

Ram Janmabhoomi is celebrating a grand event for the second time after the pran pratishtha ceremony. Ram Navami is being celebrated with grandeur at Ram Mandir, featuring offerings of 56 types of bhog, prasad, and panjiri. Chief priest Acharya Satyendra Das affirmed that all arrangements for the celebration are overseen by the Trust, with Ram Navami being joyously commemorated.

Quick Glance: Biocon Developing Own Version of Wegovy, Plans Clinical Trial

Indian pharmaceutical company Biocon is working on developing its own version of Novo Nordisk's popular Wegovy and is likely to conduct a clinical trial next year to enter the growing weight-loss drug market.

Biocon's CEO, Siddharth Mittal, has expressed the company's intention to develop semaglutide, the active ingredient in Wegovy, for the Indian market, even if it requires a clinical trial.

Biocon aims to introduce generic versions of weight-loss drugs in emerging markets such as Brazil, Mexico, and Saudi Arabia before the patent for semaglutide expires in those countries in 2026.

The company is striving to obtain a waiver on clinical trials from Indian regulators and submit bioequivalence studies to demonstrate the effectiveness of their version of semaglutide. Biocon is making significant investments in generics research and development, including peptides for weight-loss drugs.
