Once an idyllic, tourist-friendly destination nicknamed “mini Switzerland,” Baisaran Valley is now the site of a devastating and unprecedented terrorist attack, which has claimed 26 lives yet. As scenes of gunshots and helpless victims reverberate and replay through news channels and the internet, host Nidhi Sharma asks Hakeem Irfan Rashid, ET's Kashmir expert, to explain the whys, hows and what next. He discusses the calculated nature of the attack, the shocking targeting of civilians, and the larger implications for Kashmir’s image of normalcy post-Article 370, the absence of security infrastructure in remote regions, and the fear now gripping the valley, especially with the tourist season just setting in. With cancellations pouring in and shutdowns across towns, this attack may cast a long shadow over the region’s recovery.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion three words that seem anything but controversial. Yet today, DEI stands at the heart of a global debate. With the Trump administration actively rolling back DEI initiatives across U.S. federal agencies, the question arises: what ripple effects might this have internationally, especially in India? Has DEI truly taken root in Indian workplaces, or does it remain largely confined to multinational tech companies? Are traditional Indian businesses beginning to embrace it? And what does this mean for organizations that specialize in promoting DEI? Host Dia Rekhi is joined by Dr. Ishani Roy, Founder & CEO Serein and Munira Loliwala, Vice President Business Strategy & Growth, TeamLease Digital to unpack the global backlash, examine the current landscape of DEI in India, and explore its true impact on business outcomes.

What if the very reason Indian students choose the U.S. for higher education suddenly disappeared? No, it’s not the allure of Silicon Valley or Ivy League labels we’re talking about OPT: Optional Practical Training. For years, it’s been the launchpad for STEM grads to gain real U.S. work experience after their degree. But that pathway is now under serious threat. In this episode, host Neil Ghai and Prachi Verma are joined by Adarsh Khandelwal, co-founder of Collegify, and Nikhil Jain, founder of ForeignAdmits, to unpack a new bill in the U.S. Congress that could abolish the OPT program altogether. With Indian students accounting for more than 40% of all OPT approvals last year, this isn’t just a policy shift, it's a potential game-ender. So, what’s driving this move? What’s at stake? And how might it reshape the future for Indian students eyeing the U.S.?

SaaS giant Salesforce has always been a disruptor in the tech industry. But it now stands at a point where the future of this industry is being completely reshaped by AI.
In this episode, Marc Benioff, the man behind the CRM major, talks to ET’s tech editor Surabhi Agarwal about Salesforce’ origin, its core ethos, present and future..the last two driven largely by AI.
He elaborates on the company's new technological and business model, focusing on the agentic layers and AI-driven digital labor. He talks about the importance of India as a lucrative market, talent pool and spiritual influence on his work; about challenges such as commoditization of AI agents and Balkanization of tech in the face of new trade wars and export controls. He talks about responsible AI usage and says that US’ perceived lead in the AI race is an illusion.

After a turbulent week when global markets were battered by Donald Trump’s announcement of high tariffs on the world, there came a sudden reprieve: Trump announced a 90 day pause..on all countries except China. The bourses bounced back in record rallies, even as US and China slapped 125% tariffs on each others’ imports.
It’s a trade war between two of the strongest economies of the world, a three month relief for the rest of the world.
What made Donald Trump pull back? Is it a temporary relief? Will he make good on his tariff threats on other countries if the deals with them don’t fructify? What happens to smaller nations? Is the market bounceback sustainable? How will the Federal Reserve React? And are fears of a US recession allayed for now?
Host Anirban Chowdhury and Chris Watling, founder of Longview Economics talk about these and many other questionsTune in

After more than a week of traumatising global markets with talk of implementing huge tariffs, Donald Trump did a volte face on Wednesday night pausing their implementation on all countries but one: China. It sparked a huge comeback rally in a battered Wall Street. But is this a sustainable turnaround or just a short-lived rebound? On The Morning Brief, ET’s Markets Editor Nishanth Vasudevan speaks to Sankaran Naren, CIO of ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund, to explore the broader impact of this policy u-turn, the escalating US-China trade tensions, and the implications for Indian markets. Drawing on over three decades of experience, Naren offers valuable perspectives on investment strategy, asset allocation, and whether India can outperform amid global volatility.

President Donald Trump has officially announced reciprocal tariffs on countries around the world, sending global markets into turmoil and shaking up international trade. The move is being called an unmitigated disaster, with little thought seemingly given to how the tariffs were calculated or what rationale supported them.
In this episode, host Anirban Chowdhury speaks with Biswajit Dhar of the Council for Social Development to unpack the rising tensions in global trade.
As market volatility spikes and investor confidence wavers, the impact of U.S. tariffs is beginning to bite and India is feeling the heat. Key sectors like auto exports, gems and jewellery, textiles, and electronics are facing significant setbacks.
So, how will this new wave of tariffs reshape India’s trade landscape? What’s at stake for businesses and workers on the ground? And critically, how does this tariff salvo align with the bilateral trade agreement India is currently finalising with the U.S.?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Once seen as the promising power duo of India’s renewables and EV story, Gensol Engineering and BluSmart Mobility are now at the center of a high-stakes corporate unraveling. Gensol, a key lessor and vehicle supplier for BluSmart, is battling a severe liquidity crisis, with its stock crashing 65%, credit rating slashed to unprecedented lows, and allegations of financial mismanagement emerging. Now, in a desperate move, Gensol is trying to pare ties with BluSmart and sell 3,000 vehicles from its fleet. But this isn’t just about one company’s cash crunch. Host Anirban Chowdhury talks about a business model under stress, a web of related-party deals, and the larger implications for India’s EV ecosystem. Was BluSmart too dependent on Gensol to begin with? Did Gensol’s investors get the short end of the deal? And what does this turmoil mean for the future of EV ride-hailing and clean energy startups?

What is common to Amitabh Bachchan, Arijit Singh, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff? They have all acquired legal approvals to protect their personality rights? That is to protect their voices, body scans, any other kind of likeness or personality trait from AI misuse, and read AI cloning for commercial use. A-list celebrities in India are incorporating clauses in their legal contracts with film producers to protect themselves from the harmful impact of synthetic media.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX has partnered with Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio to bring Starlink’s satellite communication services to India. This landmark collaboration between a global space-tech pioneer and India’s telecom giants could redefine connectivity, bridging gaps in areas with limited land-based infrastructure and bringing mobile connectivity to the 400 million people who are unconnected or under connected.
But what led to this partnership between companies that were bickering over spectrum allocation weeks back? What makes this low-earth orbit satellite technology so revolutionary, and how might it transform India’s telecom sector? And will this tie up, which clearly has larger geopolitical implications, hasten regulatory nods for satcom in India? Host Anirban Chowdhury along with ET’s telecom expert Kalyan Parbat decodes it all.

At first glance, Donald Trump and Willy Wonka share an unexpected similarity; both are influential, unconventional figures who control access to exclusive realms. While Wonka’s golden ticket sought a successor fueled by creativity and integrity, Trump’s Gold Card offers U.S. residency but only for those who can afford the hefty price tag. Hosts Neil Ghai & Prachi Verma, joined by Sukanya Raman, Country Head of Davies & Associates, Rajiv Khanna, Managing Attorney at Immigration.com, and David Lesperance, Managing Director of Lesperance & Associates, unpack the sharp differences between the EB-5 visa, a long-standing route for foreign investors and Trump’s Gold Card, a glitzier, costlier option with fewer obligations. They dive into what the Gold Card truly offers, the tax incentives it teases for the ultra-wealthy, and whether it’s a groundbreaking approach or simply EB-5 with a premium upgrade. As America’s immigration doors open wider but only for those with deep pockets we ask: Is this the new face of the American Dream?
