Tue, 23 Apr 2024 - 568 - Corner Office Conversation with Arjun Nohwar, GM, South Asia, Warner Bros. Discovery
The world of media and entertainment is going through an era of generational disruption. Some find it scary; others are excited at the fast and furious pace of mega consolidation. Host Arijit Barman sits down with Arjun Nohwar, the GM of Warner Brothers Discovery in South Asia to talk about content, commerce and cinema navigating this landscape. On a personal note, Arjun’s own career path is as interesting as his current industry. From being a key part of a legacy conglomerate like the House of Tatas, he moved to Uber when ride hailing companies, themselves were changing the rules of mobility in big and small cities world over. He joined Warner Brothers to launch its streaming services HBO Max – now rebranded Max -- in India but thanks to a mega merger with Discovery the plans got pushed. But with multiple lines of business – network, content licenses, movie distribution, streaming, consumer products and maybe even theme parks there is a lot to unpack. In between all this Arjun is also a champion golfer with several trophies and a handicap that’s everybody’s envy. So tune in and tee off for a frank and candid tête-à-tête.

Fri, 05 Apr 2024 - 559 - T+0 is Sebi's Quick Commerce Moment
Indian stock market is testing for same-day trade settlement (T+0), which will make it among the fastest stock markets in the world: faster than Wall Street which takes 2 days to settle trades. While still optional and limited to a few stocks, it’s an aggressive move. The layers of its complexity were recently compared by Sebi chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch to peeling an onion. But cutting onions brings tears. And sure enough, not everyone is happy. Foreign investors that bring in big money to the market have called transitions to T+1 and T+0 too fast and unsettling. But Sebi,under Buch, is firm. Will FPIs come round? How will it impact intra-day traders and brokers? And how long before T+0 moves to instant settlement?

Fri, 15 Mar 2024 - 547 - India’s Breakthrough in Cancer Cure
Thejna John is a happy woman. Last year, the relapse of an acute form of blood cancer despite a bone marrow transplant, had made her doctors give up all hope.

The potential of CAR T-cell therapy is significant. And Pharma majors from Dr Reddy’s to Biocon are pouring in money into their own CAR T-Cell projects. But it’s early days. And questions remain: on efficacy, relapse, neurotoxicity and high costs.

Thu, 14 Dec 2023 - 504 - Outlook 2024 with JPMorgan: Will Cuts be the Catalysts for Macros and Markets?
Central banks around the world are starting to signal a shift in monetary policy, hinting at potential interest rate cuts in 2024. This comes after months of aggressive tightening to combat rising inflation. Market projections suggest at least 100 basis points (bps) of cuts by the end of 2024 by the US Fed. The prospect of interest rate cuts has already begun to impact financial markets. Bond yields have fallen, while stock prices have rallied to record highs. So, will the party continue? What is in store for 2024? Will the US Fed fuel the market with rate cuts? Will India’s uneven recovery reveal a new risk?

Thu, 30 Nov 2023 - 498 - Corner Office Conversation with Air India CEO and MD, Campbell Wilson
The Tata Group has a lot riding on the success of Air India. The original founder of the airline got it back in 2022 after 67 years of govt ownership. Since then, it has put its might behind shoring up the carrier’s fortunes-from placing a historic order of 470 Airbus and Boeing planes and putting in place a multi-billion dollar 5 year transformation programme, to appointing a top management team with global aviation experience. But legacy issues accumulated over two decades continue to haunt the carrier, even as it fast becomes one player in a fast forming airline duopoly in India. CEO and Managing Director Campbell Wilson tells host Anirban Chowdhury how he and his team are balancing the current challenges at Air India with its immense future potential.

Digital payments have made lives easy, right? Even the transactions rose from 10.2 billion in 2017 to 87.3 billion in 2022. But, this has also led to an increase in fraud.

And phishing accounted for 40% of all the reported cases. Recently, Safexpay, a Thane-based payment gateway was in the news for losing around ₹25 crore to fraud attacks.

Tue, 31 Oct 2023 - 485 - Mamaearth IPO - Litmus Test for Startups and the Street
Mamaearth's parent company Honasa Consumers is finally hitting Dalal Street with a ₹1700 crore IPO. The company will raise ₹365 crore in fresh issue and the rest will be an offer for sale. What's surprising is that the company is seeking a valuation of over ₹10,000 crore - nearly 60% lower than the ₹24,000 crore figure that had gone viral on social media earlier in January. Why so? Why is the company going for a stock market listing now? While it sells products that compete with HUL, why are its financials more similar to Nykaa? Has its topline growth come at the cost of a healthy bottom line? And what can investors expect going ahead? To seek answers to these and many more questions, Host Kiran Somavnshi speaks to Mamaearth’s Chairman & CEO Varun Alagh, and CFO Ramanpreet Sohi in the latest episode of The Morning Brief podcast.

Tue, 24 Oct 2023 - 482 - Is climate change making you ill?
Climate change is taking a toll on our health! Extreme weather events are leading to deaths and injuries. They are also exposing us to new illnesses and worsening existing ones.
If we fail to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°Celcius, there is a risk of approximately
15,000 new viruses, bacteria and other pathogens emerging. Mosquitoes, which are carriers of diseases like malaria and dengue, are now spreading to new areas due to rising temperatures, increasing the spread of infectious diseases. So is there a way out? Can we adapt and stay protected? Host Kalpana Pathak gets all the answers from:- Dr Jaya Shreedhar, consultant at the W.H.O
- Dr Omesh Bharti, epidemiologist from Shimla, Himachal Pradesh,
- Dr Chandrakant Lahariya, epidemiologist and public health specialist.

Fri, 20 Oct 2023 - 481 - Crude Reality: Palestine, Petrol and Politics with Robert McNally
On the 50th anniversary of the first oil shock that led to the price of a barrel of oil quadrupling, the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict has put the Middle East on the brink just as it did in 1973. Beyond the ever-rising body count, chances of a bigger global economic downturn have gone up. With the region being the world’s largest energy producer, price volatility can have bigger implications on growth and inflation, especially for large energy guzzlers like India. From geopolitics to energy economics and the impact on the upcoming green agenda of Cop28, host Arijit Barman gets answers from an energy expert who has served as George Bush Junior’s top energy advisor both on the National Economic Council and the National Security Council at the White House.

Thu, 19 Oct 2023 - 480 - ET Investigates: Escalating Child Sexual Content Accessibility in India
Child Sexual Abuse Material or CSAM is spreading like a deadly virus on the internet. While there has been a growing awareness of the problem and a concerted effort by law enforcement and technology companies to combat CSAM, a significant increase in the production, distribution, and consumption of CSAM has been seen in recent years. A report also found that the average age of victims depicted in CSAM is decreasing, with nearly half of all victims now under the age of 10. What exactly is this content? How easily accessible is it really? What do these platforms have to say? What is the government doing? And most importantly, what can a layman do to safeguard children? Dia Rekhi put ET's Aashish Aryan and Wranga’s Ashish Jaiman in the hot seat and got them to explain why CSAM content on these platforms is NOT child's play. Listen to the latest episode of The Morning Brief podcast!

Fri, 13 Oct 2023 - 478 - Caste Census: Data for Development or a Political Ploy?
Bihar's caste survey results have provided a new poll plank to the Opposition. As India plans to start the decadal Census, the political parties are once again raising the demand for an all India caste census to enumerate the numerically strong Other Backward Classes. But in an era where data is the new oil, it is no surprise that the holy grail of the electoral system is uniting political parties in their demand for dividing voters into sub-categories. But will this data be used for development or will it rile up another round of reservation riots? From ET’s Political Bureau Nidhi Sharma debuts as host on TMB as she explores the politics and possible rationale behind the demand for dividing the democracy.
In this episode, we hear from:
1 - R Subrahmanyam, Former Secretary to Government of India
