education loan, for which an EMI of Rs 12,131 started in January. After paying for two months, Kumar sought an extension from the bank since he is unemployed. But that’s not by choice. Kumar has been waiting for a joining date from Infosys since receiving an offer letter in April 2022. Kumar’s situation is far from unique. Many students like him have been left in limbo after consistent delays in onboarding by IT majors despite receiving offer letters two or even three years ago. After more than two years of waiting, Infosys recently conducted pre-training rounds in July and August, andissued joining dates for October and November to more than 1,000 graduates. These roles, primarily system engineering positions, will begin at the Mysore campus. “It’s a huge relief,” said Ankit Jha from Jharkhand, who had nearly lost hope after months of waiting.

disruptions in technology, particularly with artificial intelligence, are impacting their work. Parallelly, AI and machine learning (AI/ML) have emerged as the most sought-after skills for upskilling in FY25, according to survey data from skilling platform Great Learning, accessed exclusively by ET. Job displacement and insecurity are major concerns, said Hari Krishnan Nair, co-founder, Great Learning. “Many of these respondents are already seeing AI take over jobs — maybe not their specific job, but they do fear that if they don’t upskill in AI, they are likely to be left redundant in their organisation,” Nair said.

Twitter — without that distinctive, pointed ouroboros nestled at the foot of each post, the one that serves as a gauge, a currency and a vector of virality. The retweet — the capacity to share, quickly and easily, a contribution that you enjoy or endorse or otherwise wish to bring to the attention of others — was the innovation that made Twitter work. It gave a niche idea its purpose, turning a curious app into a transformative social, cultural and political force and, eventually, a billionaire’s plaything. It was not, though, deliberate. Retweeting was not designed by the cadre of developers who founded Twitter. It did not exist in the early versions of the app. There was, in its first iterations, no way of amplifying the best (or, later, worst) content that emerged from the doomscroll.

Silicon Valley’ have to do with a popular Korean streetside food? Bengaluru, the tech hub of India, has been trending for some time now thanks to its unique culture.

In his defense of the restaurant he adored, Nikhil proudly identified himself as a «deep Bangalorean» and mentioned that he had savored over 1,000 bowls of ramen there. “Seeing a lot of hate towards Naru Noodle Bar and arbitrary ratings pulled out of their hats with no credible analysis or justification. I’ve eaten more than 1,000 bowls of ramen and am obsessed with Naru Noodle Bar before it even had a physical location in the courtyard,” he wrote on X.

Netflix is infamous for cancelling many of its promising shows without a by-your-leave, the streaming giant has also given many dying shows a new lease of life. One of the best examples of a cancelled show that the OTT platform raised to overnight stardom is the American supernatural TV series ‘Manifest’. The series, which revolved around the passenger and crew of a commercial airliner that suddenly reappears after disappearing for over five years, originally premiered on the channel NBC in 2018. However, it was cancelled just after three seasons due to dwindling viewership. In June 2021, Deadline revealed that NBC had opted not to continue the drama series for a fourth season. Despite a strong start with respectable ratings when it first aired, the show's audience steadily dwindled over time, with a notable drop in viewership during its third season. However, in August 2021, Netflix acquired the rights to the series and approved a fourth season.
