- SUNDAR SETHURAMAN & SAMIE MODAK

Fundraising through qualified institutional placements (QIPs) saw a revival in June after a tepid first five months of 2025, and is set for a robust second half, as a market rebound has brought back favourable valuations and liquidity support for big-ticket issuances by corporates.

In the first five months of 2025, 13 firms raised ₹15,408 crore through QIPs, compared to 30 firms that raised ₹29,518 crore in the same period in 2024. But in June 2025 alone, seven companies raised ₹14,085 crore. In June 2024, seven companies had cumulatively raised ₹3,009 crore through QIPs. So far in 2025, 22 firms have raised ₹30,535 crore.

Work-life balance tops job wish list for India's Gen Z

Infosys co-founder N R Narayana Murthy may still be extolling the virtues of a 72-hour work week. But Gen Z — broadly defined as those born between 1997 and 2012 — appears to be marching to a very different drumbeat: In a latest survey, nearly half of the 23,000 respondents from this age group said that the single most important factor when evaluating a job offer is, quite simply, “work-life balance”.
