Why does Gold shine when Economies don't?

As the Coronavirus pandemic has forced the economies around the world to shut down, uncertainty around the world has been rising, and with the rise of fear and uncertainty, there is another thing that has been on the rise, and that is the price of gold. This global health crisis has also thrown the world into a state of financial and economic crisis, and it has always been seen that it is during these times that the prices of gold reach record highs. Be it the economic crisis in 2001, the financial crisis in 2008, or the recent 2020 pandemic; this yellow metal seems to glitter the most when most economies are plunging to their doom.

Gold Fraud in China!

Ethics, fair practices, and character, these are certain things that China has never maintained it. China has relied on counterfeiting, conservatism, and unfair practices to achieve the superpower status of the world. At this time, China is facing a rant from all across the world (except Pakistan and North Korea) for its role in causing the pandemic but, it looks like China still hasn’t learned its lesson and is still the Dog’s tail. In fact, China is audaciously getting involved in proxy wars and trying to exploit the declining world economy.

What's behind the continuous Petrol and Diesel price hike?

If someone asks you, how important is money, what shall be your answer? You may say that it is one of the most important things in the world today, right? Even we agree to this. Money is a necessity and more money means power and with that power you can actually buy happiness and do whatever you want. Now, this is at an individual level. Think about those sitting in the government. To manage the economy they need money and more importantly they need our money! Taxes, cess, tariffs etc.

Can the dream 'Chinese Products Banned in India' be realised

We are Indians first and all our individual identities come next. So, if there’s anything we can do for the country, we won’t back off. We may be price sensitive people but when it comes to nationalism, we can adjust. And, probably that’s what China needs to understand. That country has tried to almost capture our economy by dumping things at cheapest prices. And now, as you all know it’s trying to get into our borders. Now, the question is that apart from military action, what can we do to teach China a lesson?

Setback for Chinese automobile companies In India

Three decades of rapid and continuous growth, China's automakers have reached a historic inflection point. The industry is witnessing a new reality wherein sales are on the decline, and there is a paradigm shift from the manufacture and sale of internal combustion engine cars to the pioneering of next-generation technologies. The Chinese auto market has reached a saturation point, and hence the automakers were on the lookout for future expansion strategies in newer geographical markets. These companies are flush with funds and are scouting to invest in a market that has the potential to grow since sales growth in China has stagnated. Who better fits in the frame than their neighbor India for this ample opportunity. India's long-term growth potential of the economy and the success of Chinese companies who have ventured into the non-automotive space, these automakers are taking the plunge in the Indian market.

AIBDA’s concerns over interest waiver for borrowers.

It is usually the case that someone’s gain is else’s pain. That’s the reason while making a decision, both sides of the coin have to be considered. Although, it’s also true that taking care of everyone’s interest is almost impossible. But then, there’s this condition known as being better off. This means, deciding something which causes the least damage because many a time there are situations when nobody is wrong and yet, a decision has to be made in someone’s favor.

What are the Opportunities for Indian Companies in China

A growing stream of Indian companies is on the lookout for new opportunities in emerging markets. Over the last two decades, China has consistently opened up its economy and has softened and lifted restrictions on foreign investment. The FDI in China for 2019 was $137 billion, climbing a notch by 5.8% from the previous year. China is one of the world's largest recipients of foreign direct investment. The most attractive factor is the large consumer base of 1.3 billion consumers in China. This is a robust trajectory for growth, with ever-increasing consumer spending.

How Chinese Investment in India is Dominating Tech Space

In a move to curb opportunistic takeovers during the pandemic, specifically from Chinese entities, the Centre has recently revised FDI policy, making it mandatory for prior government approval for direct investments from countries with which India shares a border. This restriction had earlier applied for investments from Pakistan and Bangladesh. Though the Centre has not specified China, the spurt of investments by Chinese investors has prompted the Government to take this decision.

What will be the impact if Indians boycott Chinese products

"Boycott China" is the current anthem that resounds in India in retaliation against China's resentment. Amid the border standoff in Ladakh, there has been a clamor amongst citizens to boycott products from China, which is seen as the unreasonable aggressor. The outrage has been extensive on social media, with hashtags like #BoycottChina and #BoycottChineseProducts trending on Twitter and the video by Sonam Wangchuk prompting Indians to retaliate stating that while the Army can handle the Chinese attempts of incursion in Ladakh, can be dealt only with the support and cooperation of the general public.

Adani Green Energy to execute world’s largest solar order.

Mahatma Gandhi once said ‘Be the change you wish to see in the world’. It’s not necessary that we follow everything literally. Sometimes, the connotations and contexts could be changed based on circumstances and it is all acceptable till the time the result is good and positive. Take this quote for instance, which signifies that if something wrong is happening and you wish to stop it, then you have to start changing yourself first and the world would follow. But, from a corporate point of view this can be related with innovation and problem solving.

What does it take to boycott Chinese Products?

Let’s get started with the trending talk of #BoycottChina.It sounds terrific to say goodbye to Chinese goods, thereby being self-reliant and self-dependent. But, are we riding on quite a high horse? China is not just trying to penetrate at India’s border on the northeast but, moreover, it has penetrated our lives so much that we don’t even realize. Just to give you a hint, the value of goods that India imports from China are more than 515 billion yuan (with the current value of yuan being equal to Rs. 10.55, you can imagine how huge the amount is).And, this was just about the products. Now think about the technology, apps that you have in your phone, and the companies that have received considerable amounts in Chinese investments. So, now when we say boycott China, it’s not just about diplomatically ignoring China but saying no to each and everything that originates in China. And, for that, of course, we would have to develop a competitive infrastructure that can replace Chinese products and services to a certain extent.

Excise duty on Petrol: Impact of hike on Petrol & Diesel Prices

Record excise duty hike on Petrol & Diesel in India. And, a cursory view of IOCL stock. Critics of American President Donald Trump say that he has got only one solution for all the problems, ‘Tariffs’. It has been seen many times that whenever the country needs to solve something, the first thing that Trump comes up with is laying a tariff. This is somewhat similar to the excise duty levied on petrol and diesel in India. Government every now and then increases the excise duty to generate more revenue. Now, it has set a world record!

Reliance-Facebook might team-up to create Super App Like We Chat

Reliance and Facebook will create a ‘Super App’ like WeChat. But, how will they do this? There is much difference between ‘normal’ and ‘super’. For something to be qualified as ‘super’, it needs to be exceptional. For example, a normal man can just see while Superman has laser vision and X-Ray vision. A computer does normal computation but a Super Computer does some of the most complex calculations, can process billions of instruction points in a second and can as well be used to launch a rocket to space. But, why are we even telling you this? Because, reportedly Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance and Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook are working together to develop a ‘Super App’. So, as we told earlier, it needs to be exceptional to be qualified as ‘Super’ and hence, you can expect a lot from the ambitious project that the two corporate giants are working upon together.

Covid-19: Impact of Coronavirus on Cruise Industry

Guided by movies like Titanic, Pirates of the Caribbean Sea, etc, I thought that other than terrible tides, icebergs and bad pirates nothing could damage a ship. But in reality, COVID-19 left the cruising industry more bruised than all the three. The ships carry about 83 million people every year. But the virus spread brought the numbers down drastically. Following this, countries like the UK, America, India, etc warned their people against all sorts of travel. Also, they said a strict no to the entry of foreign ships. These ships were allowed to use only those ports where thermal scanners are available or where a prior notice was issued. A lot of ships were stranded at waters with no possible port to enter. Customers started canceling or postponing their bookings pushing the entire cruising industry to abandon the waters. Along with the three companies which dominated the cruising sector, Carnival cruises, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian, the entire industry suspended all their activities till the mid of May. But with the current situation, they might not be sailing again anytime soon.
