Subscribe to enjoy similar stories.Only a few years ago, AI seemed like merely a nice toy: a chatbot that simulated intelligence by assembling complete sentences in response to users’ prompts but that ultimately wasn’t much more sophisticated than an advanced search engine. Yet now, it has proven to be an incredible tool that can perform tasks I never thought would be possible in my lifetime. For example, I have used AI to locate online datasets, manipulate them, carry out statistical tests and produce polished tables and charts, complete with sensible commentary on what the results mean, how they relate to academic literature and the strengths and weaknesses of the analysis.

UPS Aware performer stage information testing rights Elephant in the boardroom: Indian companies must learn to be more open about mental health
Subscribe to enjoy similar stories.Will we reach a maturity level in our workplaces where a company can ask for a mental health check the same way it asks for a physical test after rolling out a job offer but before signing the final appointment letter? When attention deficit disorder (ADD), cortisol spikes and high cholesterol are openly discussed in water-cooler conversation, why is mental health not a factor that needs to be gauged before an employment contract is signed?According to a senior partner at one of New Delhi’s most prominent law firms, the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act of 2016 states that one is prohibited from discriminating against a candidate based on the Act’s stipulated list of disabilities, unless proportionate to a legitimate objective.A note released by the Press Information Bureau in December 2025 said that the same law defines a ‘person with disability’ as “someone who has a long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairment which, in interaction with barriers, hinders their full and effective participation in society equally with others.” While employers cannot be biased during the hiring process, they can take a final call depending on the role’s needs. If the mental health conditions of candidates may obstruct their work efficacy, should employers not be informed of such diagnoses? Maybe not under present workplace dynamics.

markets Manufacturing Mobile economy country reports Colleges Andy Mukherjee: The dream of a college degree is starting to look like a bad bet for India’s youth
Subscribe to enjoy similar stories.India has three good reasons to engage with one of the biggest open questions in economics today: the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on jobs.First, the country has the world’s largest youth population. Second, its growth model has been dominated by software services, and AI tools like Anthropic’s Claude Opus are getting exceedingly good at writing code and finding bugs. But the third and possibly the most crucial point is this threat to entry-level positions comes amid an alarming oversupply of college graduates.The wage bump that graduates enjoy over school-leavers is shrinking and AI could further narrow the gap.

markets UPS Provident Strategy Updates Interviews New focus to be on attracting domestic capital, says IVCA chair Srini Srinivasan
Subscribe to enjoy similar stories.The industry body for venture capital, Indian Venture and Alternate Capital Association (IVCA), will focus on drawing more domestic institutional capital into alternative investment funds (AIFs), even as structural bottlenecks continue to slow participation.“Pension funds and insurance companies allocate very little to AIFs despite regulatory permission,” said Srini Srinivasan, the newly appointed chairperson of IVCA and managing director, Kotak Alternate Asset Managers Limited, in an interview with Mint.While policies allow these institutions to invest in AIFs, execution remains a challenge, he said.One key hurdle is structural misalignment.For instance, the National Pension System (NPS) requires a daily net asset value (NAV), but AIFs do not provide this. This mismatch makes it difficult for pension money to flow into these funds.

Platform Entertainment Boxing film trends performer audience On repeat: Why audiences are coming back to big cinema hits on OTT
Subscribe to enjoy similar stories.Viewership for films that turn big hits at the box office often doesn’t end with their theatrical run. Appetite for repeat consumption on streaming platforms remains strong — even among those who have already watched the film in cinemas.According to media consulting firm Ormax, 65% of Dhurandhar’s audience on OTT had already watched the film in a theatre, pointing to a high correlation between theatrical and streaming performance of big-ticket Indian films.Industry experts say this could accelerate the trend of OTT platforms spending big bucks only to acquire major commercial hits, leaving small and mid-budget titles out in the cold.According to Ormax, while 21.2 million people watched Dhurandhar only in theatres, about 7.5 million watched it only on OTT.

markets Provident recommendations medicines Updates Vaccines Pharmaceuticals Govt plans revamp of cold chain storage regulations for vaccines, insulin
Subscribe to enjoy similar stories.New Delhi: India is planning to overhaul its pharmaceutical storage rules for vaccines and biological products, as gaps in the regulatory framework have frequently led to drugs being stored under improper temperature conditions, potentially compromising their efficacy, according to two government officials and documents reviewed by Mint.The plan is to define and classify these medications into two group— thermostable or those that can survive high temperatures, and thermolabile, or those that cannot, to ensure medicines, including insulin and vaccines are handled with scientific precision throughout the supply chain. Currently, the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, lacks these specific classifications.While Schedule P of the Drugs Rules, 1945 provides general storage instructions such as ‘cold place’ for temperatures not exceeding 8 degrees Celsius, there has been no comprehensive, science-based list to guide manufacturers and drug inspectors.

markets UPS Trade performer testing Updates In volatile markets, PEG ratio emerges as the real valuation test
Subscribe to enjoy similar stories.In a volatile market like present times — marked by global uncertainties, intermittent buying at dips, foreign outflows, and fluctuating risk appetite — valuations are under constant scrutiny.In this backdrop, the PEG ratio is emerging as a much-needed reality check by tying price more closely to growth.The PEG or (Price/Earnings-to-Growth) ratio compares a stock’s P/E multiple with its expected earnings growth, typically over the next couple of years, to assess whether its valuation is justified.A PEG around 1 is seen as fair value, below 1 may indicate undervaluation, and above 1 could signal overpricing — helping investors separate genuine growth stories from stocks that look expensive without enough momentum, explained market participants.When money chases growth stocks, PEG helps assess whether high P/E multiples are justified by earnings growth, since a rise in P/E only makes sense if earnings grow at a similar pace, explained Rohit Srivastava, founder and market strategist at equity-research firm indiacharts.com.Aniruddha Sarkar, co-founder & CIO, Equinova Investment Managers, pointed out that companies with low P/E but high PEG ratios may look cheap at first glance but lack the growth to justify it.In contrast, stocks with high P/E but low PEG ratios usually reflect strong earnings momentum, where the premium is backed by solid growth prospectsm he added.For instance, La Opala trades at a trailing P/E of 18.6 with a steep PEG of 27.8, suggesting limited growth support, while 360 One WAM, despite a higher P/E of 34.8, has a more reasonable PEG of 1.5.
