One day, everyone will always have been against this.

I used to generally flip the News9 live channel (@TV9Bharatvarsh) while scrolling the tv on my remote, but yesterday I paused when I saw a news report flashing from the streets of Teheran. Sumaira Khan (@sumairakh) an intrepid news reporter, was giving the viewers a glimpse of the goings-on in war-ravaged Iran. It appeared everything was normal there, even as war clouds were hanging in the air, with President Trump repeating his profanities against the Iranian civilisation. We saw people in Teheran — men, women and children — going about their way as in any other city. But Sumaira specially drew our attention to the scores of women who were passing through that busy marketplace she was reporting from. Quite a few of them were burqa-clad, but there were many women who went about without any covering on their heads. As a matter of fact, there were some young girls who strode across in modern, fashionable clothes. Sumaira was at pains to bust the misconception that Iranian women were under strict official vigil to follow the traditional Islamic dress code. It was good to see that TV9 group sent a reporter to Iran to show us that, contrary to the West’s false propaganda, women retain their own agency in Iran. ( @sujitjohn drew our attention to this very point in an opinion piece in @timesofindia the other day). I have not come across any other Indian TV news channel sending a reporter to Iran to show how Iranians are coping after the illegal and barbaric US-Israeli attack on their country. @IndiaToday TV dispatched a reporter to invader Israel to show how the killer IDF is going about its murderous mission!Some other channels too followed the same beaten script to suck up to the powers-that-be. We must commend the News9Live for its bold decision to place a reporter in Iran to show the lives and the resolve of the people of the only country in the world which stood up for Palestinians, victims of the US-Israeli genocide!

Israel killed every single person in this photo in Lebanon. Every. Single. One. All journalists. Targeted and assassinated intentionally. For reporting the truth from the frontlines.

Justo hoy, Netanyahu lanza su ataque más duro contra el Líbano desde que empezó la ofensiva. Su desprecio por la vida y el derecho internacional es intolerable. Toca hablar claro: - Líbano debe formar parte del alto al fuego. - La comunidad internacional debe condenar esta nueva violación del derecho internacional. - La Unión Europea debe suspender su Acuerdo de Asociación con Israel. - Y no debe haber impunidad ante estos actos criminales.

This article on my visit to #Tehran in November, which appeared in The Times of India (#TOI) last week, was met with almost disbelief, many described it as a “huge eye-opener”. Do read the story if you haven't already.

A supermarket in Iran put up a sign: "It's not a problem. If you need something, take it. After the war you can pay for it." Iranians have never been more united.

Iran is nothing like what most imagine.

"Indian Embassy officials told us Iran is probably less religious today than India is" A @timesofindia editor on an Iranian junket discovers that not all women wear hijab in Teheran, and nightlife is great. A far cry from Western (and North Indian) media cliches. @sujitjohn

🚨🚨 Zomato parent company founder and CEO Deepinder Goyal has resigned. Will continue on the company’s board as vice chairman. Albinder Dhindsa, credited with building Blinkit after its acquisition, will take over as Group CEO. Management commentary at 5 PM today with analysts.

We reported a genuine concern—the shoe mesh began wearing out within two weeks of purchase. Instead of addressing the defect, the responsibility was blatantly shifted onto the customer. This approach is unacceptable , especially from a reputed brand like Skechers.

🚨🚨 ED Bangalore zone has arrested Winzo founders Saumya Singh Rathore and Paavan Nanda yesterday. They were produced at 11:30 AM at a local court today, for detailed arguments. This is after recent searches conducted by ED at the startup led to the freezing of about Rs 505 crore in bank balances, fixed deposits, bonds and mutual funds. The probe began after FIRs alleging cheating, impersonation, blocking of user accounts, misuse of PAN details and fraudulent loss of customer funds. Complainants also alleged their KYC information had been misused. According to the ED, WinZO continued to offer real-money games in Brazil, the US and Germany from India even after the Union government banned such games from August 22, 2025. The agency said the company still holds Rs 43 crore belonging to customers without refunding it. ED sleuths also alleged that users were matched against undisclosed algorithms instead of human players, withdrawals were restricted and proceeds of crime were generated from user losses. Further said that funds were diverted under the guise of overseas investments, including $55 million (Rs 489.9 crore) allegedly parked in a US bank account of “WinZO US Inc.”

At the recent #GCC2030Hyderabadchapter, Concentrix presented its vision for tech services through a design–build–run model, with a clear emphasis: GenAI as the default approach, not an add-on. The session explored how enterprises can embed GenAI across customer experience, operations, and products in an end-to-end manner. The focus was on moving beyond pilot projects to integrate AI into the core operating model. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 Concentrix emphasized that GCCs being built in India today start with an AI-first operating model, clean and governed data, secure cloud infrastructure, responsible AI guardrails, and talent trained to work with AI copilots from day one. With this foundation, design–build–run becomes a continuous cycle of co-creation between GCCs and service partners. GCCs bring domain expertise and organizational proximity, while partners like Concentrix contribute cross-industry patterns, accelerators, and the ability to design and operate complex systems at scale. This enables faster expansion while retaining strategic control. The session concluded with a strategic insight: the goal is to shift from isolated AI initiatives to operating as an AI-first business, with India's GCCs playing a central role in building the next generation of AI-enabled products. #Nasscom #GCC2030 #Innovation #GlobalCapabilityCenters #IndiaTech #FutureReady #AI @Concentrix @DeepakWadhawa10 @sujitjohn @timestechies @doshikavita
