Banks’ shares jumped to 4% on Wednesday amid broad market optimism as investors thought that the conflict between Iran and the United States-Israel would soon come to a conclusion, which might allay concerns about the macroeconomic impact on India.

While ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, and many other banks gained about 2% apiece, Punjab National Bank (PNB), AU Small Finance Bank, IndusInd Bank, Canara Bank, Axis Bank, State Bank of India (SBI),…
by Jaya Pathak More important is having one paying problem and no big plan. The initial practical wisdom in the process of expanding a business that began at 1 lakh to 100 crore is paradoxically obvious: begin with a problem which already involves a pang of economic suffering. When customers are already wasting time, margin or convenience, they will at least listen to you. The challenge of starting a company on a small budget drives this. It leaves vanity bare and only demand as the significant point of initiation. Being a bootstranger is not an ex post facto Bootstrapping has…

Khosla supported India’s drive for independent AI while denouncing US President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, even as he acknowledged US-China power. Founding Sun Microsystems and now managing your own venture capital business are only two of the many…
NEW DELHI: On Wednesday, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman rejected state criticism of cesses and surcharges, claiming that they were constitutional and that the funds raised from them were used for state-benefitting projects.

States are not allowed to have it both ways. After deducting the cess and surcharge from gross tax receipts, the states should verify that they are receiving all of the net earnings that make up the divisible pool, she added. Due…
