India & Bharat ‘Rural India’ is an excessively elastic term which encompasses everything from the prosperous villages in Tamil Nadu’s industrial belt to water-starved hamlets of Vidarbha and Marathwada. But the vast heterogeneity notwithstanding, rural India has been reeling under some setback or the other for the past few years, from the demonetization of 2016 to the NBFC (non-banking financial company) liquidity crisis in 2018 and finally the hammer blow of covid-19 in 2020. A recovery in the farm sector, therefore, has been keenly awaited by both policymakers and corporate India.

Africa as in India. It is the second-biggest telecom company in the continent after South Africa's MTN. Fourteen years ago, Bharti Airtel chairman Sunil Mittal took the brave decision to go to Africa and it has been a perilous journey for his company. Africa, where Mittal had expected to map India's telecom growth story onto the continent, turned out to be little like India with its sparse population as well as political volatility which would discourage any pioneer telecom company. Now that Airtel Africa seems to be out of the woods, and having acquired an elephantine footprint in 14 countries across the continent, a big challenge might be shaping up. Mukesh Ambani, the chairman of Reliance Industries (RIL), who disrupted India's telecom market with low tariffs and cheap handsets by launching Reliance Jio in 2015 and swept aside Airtel to become the market leader, is acquiring a tiny foothold in the African telecom market as a telecom tech and equipment vendor.

NEW DELHI : Traditional life insurance plans, often known as endowment policies, are frequently marketed as investment products. However, with growing awareness about the importance of separating insurance and investment, many policyholders are now questioning whether to continue with their existing plans or surrender them.

Do you see a connection or see other factors to be supporting the rally?

Unless there is a major upset, of which the probability is very low, markets would continue to in an uptrend in the long-term.

medical treatments for cancer are advancing very rapidly. Survival rates are improving greatly and some cancers are now being managed more as long-term chronic diseases rather than illnesses that will rapidly claim a patient's life. The mainstays of cancer treatment remain surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy and hormone therapy. But there are other treatments and strategies — «adjunct» or supportive cancer care — that can have a powerful impact on a patient's quality of life, survival and experience during cancer treatment.

Modi — then chief minister of business-friendly Gujarat state — rode an electoral wave to the prime ministership in New Delhi, many expected that he would be far more supportive of the private sector than previous Indian leaders. As a candidate, Modi was quoted as saying: “I believe government has no business to do business,” and one of the many slogans of that 2014 campaign was “minimum government, maximum governance.” That seemed as close to laissez-faire Thatcherism as one could reasonably expect in India. Nobody who looked closely at Modi’s tenure in Gujarat, however, believed this easy narrative. His proudest achievement there was turning around the state government’s own public-sector companies, particularly in the energy sector. And that’s been his focus in national office as well. In one recent interview, when asked to cite an example of how the markets should react to his expected re-election, he pointed specifically and solely to how he had revived the stock prices of public-sector companies. Modi wasn’t wrong. State firms have done better than India’s benchmark Sensex index for three years straight, and look likely to do so again this year. They have regularly traded at a premium to their private peers.

David Elias received a surprise in the mail earlier this month: a dozen baseball caps with Dow 40000 printed on the front and Elias on the back. The caps were a gift for a celebration that was 25 years in the making.
