With a sharper screen, faster performance, and a new wave of games, the Switch 2 is ready to change the game, again
THE global gaming community is buzzing! Nintendo yesterday confirmed years of speculation, officially revealing its next-generation console: the Nintendo Switch 2. Announced during a dedicated Nintendo Direct broadcast, this successor to the phenomenally successful hybrid console is confirmed for launch on June 5, 2025. Gamers across India and the world should take note of the international pricing revealed: the console will debut at US$ 449.99 in the United States, £395.99 in the UK, and €469.99 in Germany. Based on current exchange rates, the US price is approximately 38,500 (official Indian pricing and availability are yet to be announced). Pre-orders commence on April 8 in Europe and April 9 in North America.
Following an eight-year reign, the original Switch set an incredibly high benchmark. According to official figures released by Nintendo in early 2025, the console family (including Switch, Switch Lite, and OLED models) had shipped a staggering 150.86 million units worldwide as of the end of December 2024, making it one of the best-selling games consoles in history. This hardware success was mirrored in software, with an astonishing 1.36 billion games shipped for the platform during the same period, led by titles like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe which sold over 67 million copies alone. Nintendo aims for the Switch 2 to build on this legacy, representing a significant evolution for portable and home console gaming.

ECONOMY'S HIDDEN HAND: STREET IS BOOMING BUT THE BOARDROOM IS NOT
EIGHT-POINT-TWO per cent. India's economy has rarely looked stronger: growth is among the quickest anywhere, quarterly numbers keep beating expectations, and the India-decade narrative grows louder. Yet inside corporate boardrooms, the soundtrack is different. On earnings calls, optimism is muted and demand signals remain uneven. The GDP is sprinting, but the consumer is not, an FMCG chief quipped. The contradiction is stark: national output surges while corporate India clears its throat.

DECODING THE CAPITAL MARKETS
AS WE STEP INTO 2026, the moment seems opportune to pause, reflect and take stock of one of the most animated corners of India's capital markets - the initial public offering (IPO) space. In this issue, we examine the forces shaping the primary markets, the lessons investors are learning the hard way and the questions that will determine how capital is raised. By any measure, 2025 was a blockbuster year for India's primary markets. More than 100 IPOs hit the bourses, together raising over Rs 1.7 lakh crore. From marquee, brand-led mainboard issues to a surge in SME listings, the pipeline barely paused. Strong domestic liquidity, record retail participation and a steady mutual fund bid ensured that most offerings sail through the subscription phase, often with eye-catching demand multiples. On the surface, it appeared to be a golden period for entrepreneurship and raising capital.

Al Ambition to Accountable Execution
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY'S (IT'S) 2026 inflection point in India will be less about chasing Artificial Intelligence (AI) hype and more about proving industrial-scale execution. The conversation has clearly moved beyond pilots to production, forcing companies to confront uncomfortable truths around cost discipline, governance and talent depth. Outcome-based pricing, platformised delivery and deeper hyperscaler partnerships point to a maturing services model, but they also raise the stakes. Vendors can no longer hide behind effort metrics when value is under scrutiny.

Escaping Data Caves
DEEP INSIDE THE underground water systems of Oman's Al Hoota Cave, lives nature's fascinating oddity, the Oman Garra cave fish - a fish that's blind and has no colour. Since their eyes are completely covered with eyelids, they make their way around obstacles in the cave by puckering their mouth and creating short bursts of suction. The Oman Garra cave fish evolved thus to survive in pitch-dark caves with little oxygen.

TEN YEARS AFTER PARIS AGREEMENT: India's Trillion-Dollar Balancing Act
A DECADE AFTER the Paris Agreement was adopted, climate ambition has reached its ‘test decade’. It began in 2015 as an international accord to rein in emissions, has turned into a restructuring of economies. The discourse has changed from temperature goals to just transition plans, from accounting for emissions to allocating capital. India, which was one day making the case for carbon space, is now designing the very architecture of low-carbon growth. Energy transition has become the country’s second economic reform.
