Sanjeev Sanyal, an economist and advisor to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has ignited a debate by suggesting that preparing for the UPSC exam might be an inefficient use of time unless someone is genuinely interested in administrative roles. Instead, he argues that India needs more entrepreneurs aiming to become billionaires like Elon Musk or Mukesh Ambani. He suggests that the energy spent on preparing for the UPSC could be better utilized in fields such as sports, entertainment, medicine, entrepreneurship, or science. Sanjeev Sanyal, a member of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister (EAC-PM), expressed his views during "The Neon Show" podcast hosted by Siddhartha Ahluwalia. He advocates for a shift in mindset among young people. He argues that too many young individuals are investing their prime years preparing for the UPSC exam, which he believes yields limited benefits given the small number of positions available. “I'm not saying you don't want people to take the exam. Yes, every country needs a bureaucracy, that's perfectly fine. But I think lakhs of people are spending their best years trying to crack an exam where a tiny number of a few 1000 people actually are going to get it makes no sense,” he said.

Karan Taurani, Senior VP, Elara Securities, says “the T20 World Cup is in the month of June and we have IPL as well. So, on a QoQ basis, we will see that delta for Zomato. As far as QSR companies are concerned, there is not much of a big respite because the market is getting fragmented, the QSR companies are seeing pressure in terms of growth and in terms of delivery contribution, only 30-40% percent of their revenues comes from delivery. I think it is a bigger delta for Zomato versus the other QSR companies.” Given that it is increasing every year, what is the valuation story you see for IPL? Where do we see it headed because it has become so expensive now? Karan Taurani: I think valuations depend on revenue potential and revenue potential has multiplied for the franchise teams. Plus, the number of teams has also gone up. We had about eight teams, now we have ten. The number of matches has gone up by 20%. I am saying the reasons for valuations growing are these reasons as well.
