TIME TO KISS THE ENEMY
Trump's continuing onslaught on tariffs – this time on Indian steel and aluminium – and other knee jerk reactions like what is happening at Riyadh in the ‘US - Russia Saudi Bilateral’ are bound to hurt Indian industry. There’s no way to forecast what will come next from the most powerful man in the world. Pushing for his swansong ‘MAGA’ – and his heavy dependence on the super successful maverick Elon Musk, he could come strongly on our exports to the USA.

Navigating Transition to the First Managerial Role
What makes a great leader? Is it knowledge, confidence, or the ability to inspire? And how do you lead a team when some members are older and more experienced than you, while others expect a more flexible and collaborative approach? Stepping into a managerial role for the first time is exhilarating but presents challenges that few are fully prepared for. The skills that led you here – technical expertise, efficiency, and personal performance – are no longer sufficient. Your success is now linked to how well you enable others to succeed.

Achieving this growth requires structural transformation—some sectors and businesses will phase out, and some states must adapt to new opportunities. This is not well understood.
