The shift will remain in place until Sunday, November 2, when clocks return to standard time for the winter months. While most states observe DST, some do not.

markets UPS Target Reuters Food show India inflation likely eased below 4% in February for the first time in six months

inflation likely eased below the Reserve Bank of India's medium-term target of 4.0% for the first time in six months on moderating food price rises, a Reuters poll showed, bolstering expectations of interest rate cuts. As fresh winter produce hit markets over the past few months, food items — which make up nearly half of the inflation basket — saw a sustained slowdown in price increases. That marked a welcome reprieve from supply disruptions last year when unpredictable monsoons and intense heat waves sent food prices soaring, often by double digits.

Career Align track information rights Interviews International Techie stunned as hiring manager calls her 3-year job switch unacceptable. What happened in the interview

During the interview, she explained the reasoning behind her career transitions. Her first job, at a service-based company, became repetitive after three years, leaving her with limited growth opportunities. The second company she joined underwent an acquisition, which led to widespread layoffs, prompting her to leave after nearly three years. In her current role, the work did not align with her long-term career goals. When she requested an internal transfer to a project better suited to her skills, she was informed that she would need to stay for at least 2.5 years before becoming eligible. With no immediate path to advancement, she started exploring external opportunities. However, the hiring manager was unimpressed. He was particularly dissatisfied with her response about long-term goals. When she mentioned her aspiration to become an Architect to gain a deeper understanding of projects, he questioned why she wasn’t more focused on customer satisfaction. She explained that delivering high-quality work would naturally result in satisfied customers, but her answer was dismissed as being too tech-oriented. Feeling caught between justifying her career decisions and meeting the hiring manager’s expectations, she wondered if she needed to change her approach in interviews.

markets COST UPS Research rights Bharti Telecom needs much higher dividend income from Airtel to service loans: Analysts

Bharti Telecom Ltd (BTL) — the main promoter-level controlling company that owns 40.47% in Bharti Airtel — needs a much higher dividend payout from the Sunil Mittal-led telco from FY25 onwards to service its hefty interest costs, analysts said. This is since BTL’s estimated annualised finance cost at Rs 3,183.2 crore is sharply higher than the modest Rs 600.6 crore and Rs 876.9 crore in dividend income it received from Airtel in FY23 and FY24 respectively. According to analysts, BTL’s surging interest costs have been driven by its mounting debt — now at almost Rs 38,000 crore — as it has been regularly buying shares held by Airtel’s promoters — Singapore Telecommunications (Singtel) and the Mittal family.

Trump has appointed Tom Homan, the former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), as “border czar” to oversee the nation's immigration enforcement, maritime, and aviation security. Trump made the announcement on Truth Social, saying, “I am pleased to announce that the Former ICE Director, and stalwart on Border Control, Tom Homan, will be joining the Trump Administration, in charge of our Nation’s Borders (‘The Border Czar’), including, but not limited to, the Southern Border, the Northern Border, all Maritime, and Aviation Security.” Trump added, “There’s nobody better at policing and controlling our Borders” and that Homan “will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin.” Homan, a key figure during Trump’s first term, led “zero tolerance” immigration enforcement, including policies that separated children from families at the border, leading to widespread criticism. He also contributed to Project 2025, a conservative policy blueprint, though Trump distanced himself from that project during his campaign. Homan served as acting ICE director from 2017 to 2018 and frequently defended his agency’s aggressive tactics, including saying undocumented immigrants “should be afraid” and vowing to place parents and guardians of undocumented minors in immigration proceedings.
