UPS Gap Strategy Pool Updates International Unacademy launches ₹50 crore Esop buyback after two-year turmoil

₹50 crore employee stock ownership plan (Esop) buyback, offering liquidity to employees at a time when the company’s valuation has fallen significantly below its 2021 peak.“Grateful to the Board for carving out a cash pool for the employees even though the valuation is significantly less than our last fundraise,” co-founder and chief executive Gaurav Munjal said in a post on X on Thursday.The buyback signals an attempt by the company to reward and retain talent after two years of turmoil owing to the founders’ plans to exit the firm.According to Munjal, eight employees will receive over ₹1 crore each under the programme, 17 will receive more than ₹50 lakh, and 38 more than ₹10 lakh.The company will reach out to employees over the coming weeks to facilitate participation, he added.Unacademy had earlier revised its Esop policy to require former employees to exercise vested stock options within 30 days of departure drawing criticism. The company subsequently reinstated its earlier policy, allowing former employees to exercise options for up to 10 years.The Temasek-backed firm has faced a difficult internal environment over the past two years.

markets Hollywood Platform Strategy Netflix Boxing Warner Bros exclusive Netflix out: Paramount-WBD set to change India's theatrical and streaming landscape

With Netflix backing away from its proposal to buy Warner Bros Discovery, paving the way for Paramount Skydance to take over the legacy studio, the merged Hollywood giant may be set to dominate the Indian theatrical space and reshape distribution strategies. In the English-language streaming ecosystem in India, there will be less disruption but heightened competition.“The merged entity would command considerable distribution clout in India, given their significantly enlarged slate, enabling it to command a larger share of the Hollywood box office pie,” said Rahul Puri, managing director of Mukta Arts and Mukta A2 Cinemas.Warner Bros owns franchises such as The Conjuring, Harry Potter and Godzilla, which, coupled with Paramount titles Mission: Impossible and Transformers, give the merged entity better bargaining power with exhibitors.However, according to Raheel Patel, a partner at Gandhi Law Associates, if Paramount Global takes over Warner Bros.

UPS Career country cricket Sporting World Cup winner to prisoner: Can cricket’s ideals of dignity and rivalry reshape how Pakistan treats Imran Khan?

Imran Khan’s long career in Pakistani politics produced many unforgettable images. In 2014, he stood atop a shipping container to rage against the US and his own nation’s elite; in 2018, he delivered his memorable first address as prime minister, holding up illustrations of what malnourishment did to children’s brains, and promising to turn the country into an Islamist welfare state.For millions around the world, however, none of these pictures from his later life will ever be as memorable as the spectacle of nearly 40-year-old Imran holding up the world cup that Pakistan’s cricketers had just won.

NEW DELHI: The timelines for peak fossil fuel consumption—including oil and coal in both India and globally—may be delayed further amid geopolitical tensions that are pivoting the focus towards energy security and countries deviating from their climate commitments, Shell plc's chief economist Mallika Ishwaran said.While decarbonization in road transport is under way, there is little progress in aviation, marine and steel, which would delay the energy transition journey and eventually, peak oil timelines, Ishwaran said in an interview."We are seeing oil persisting. Electrification of road transport happens anyway, and that displaces anywhere between 40% to 60% of oil demand in road transport, so that's the significant displacement.

School textbooks rarely get recalled after their rollout, but it happened this week with a social science book withdrawn by India’s National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), a government institution. Of the 38 copies sold on Monday at an NCERT counter in Delhi, 16 had been taken back by Wednesday, as reported, with UPI data trails being sought to retrieve a few proving hard to trace. This recall followed a swift order from the education ministry in response to Chief Justice of India Surya Kant’s objection to a part on “corruption in the judiciary.” A thin online sample suggests two kinds of reactions popped up on social media to the court’s intervention.

A NITI Aayog report seeking to promote small cars and hybrids to reduce vehicular pollution has again brought the spotlight on India’s divided automobile industry.Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd has objected to the report prepared by a government panel under NITI Aayog to promote small cars under the upcoming fuel efficiency norms, and increase the adoption of multiple-fuel vehicles and hybrids, alongside electric vehicles (EVs).However, Toyota Kirloskar Motor Ltd, the Indian joint venture of Japan’s Toyota Corp., praised the plan for a phased electrification approach and the inclusion of biofuel powertrains as zero-emission vehicles, according to a letter reviewed by Mint.The contrasting views mirror differences within the industry over whether to offer other cleaner or lower-emission vehicles parity with EVs, and if small cars should receive concessions under the corporate average fuel efficiency (CAFE 3) norms. While Maruti Suzuki India Ltd and Toyota seek support for a wider range of vehicles, including small cars, Tata Motors and Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd, which have invested heavily in EVs, have opposed it.The panel, set up by think tank Niti Aayog, comprised representatives from the ministries of road transport and highways, heavy industries, petroleum and natural gas, power, railways, and shipping, along with think tanks and industry representation from the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (Siam).
