Import restrictions on Chinese colour TV sets

We know it's an auspicious day today, and you may have watched the live telecast of Ramjanmbhoomi Bhoomipujan from Ayodhya.

Drone Delivery: DGCA permits drone testing for food delivery platforms

And, this is happening globally.

Jio –Silver Lake deal with a premium valuation. And, a cursory view of Hospitality sector. Hope you’ve seen the movie Krrish (in which Hrithik Roshan is a superhero). As I read about the Jio – Silver Lake deal, I remembered the scene from the movie where Krrish plays Tug-of-War with a group of people. One person on one side and an entire group of people on the other and still that one person wins! After securing handsome investments from first Facebook and now Silver Lake, Jio might not be feeling less than a superhero. Just for your information, Silver Lake is a private equity giant whose other investments have been in Alibaba, Airbnb, Ant Financial, Dell Technologies, Twitter and many others. Silver Lake has invested in global technological leaders and now it has bought 1.15% stake in Jio.

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.
