green office spaces in India's major property markets is witnessing a rise, propelled by the joint efforts of occupiers, developers, landlords, and investors. This uptick reflects a shared commitment to lowering carbon emissions and endorsing sustainability initiatives. The share of green leasing has surged to 16% in 2022-2023 from 4% in 2018-19, indicating significant progress, showed a JLL-CRE Matrix study that has examined over 1,530 leases covering over 225 million sq ft between January 2018 and September 2023.

An absurdist scenario has played out for months in the bizarrely binary racial politics of the US, with one Indian-American identifying as “Black" in the vice-president’s office (Kamala Harris generally downplays her mother’s Tamil heritage) and another passing for “White" (Nikki Haley’s parents are Punjabi Sikhs) in her quest for the Republican party’s presidential nomination in a field of candidates that included Vivek Ramaswamy, the only undisguised Indian-American among the three, till he withdrew from the race this week.
