The electric vehicle market in India has become highly competitive, with brands like Ola, TVS, Ather, and others competing for market share. While many options are available if you are looking for electric scooters, the market does not offer much for hawkers, vendors, delivery executives, and other workers. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Revamp Moto – founders and product" comment="subhead" text="Revamp Moto – founders and product">Revamp Moto – founders and product</cmsannotation> Revamp Moto was founded by Jayesh Tope, Pushkaraj Salunke and Pritesh Mahajan. The trio showcased the Revamp Mitra, a modular EV that comes with ten attachments, at the show.

The duo invested ₹1 crore in the company for a 1.5% stake at a valuation of ₹66.67 crore. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Ashneer Grover invests in Revamp Moto" comment="subhead" text="Ashneer Grover invests in Revamp Moto">Ashneer Grover invests in Revamp Moto</cmsannotation> Despite losing the deal to Gupta and Mittal during Shark Tank, Grover invested in Revamp Moto after the show.

If the name seems familiar, it’s because the company had first showcased the vehicle in the popular business reality show Shark Tank and even signed a deal with Ashneer Grover, the co-founder and former managing director of BharatPe. The name OTUA is a wordplay on the traditional Auto that we see every day. However, the company is not launching a passenger vehicle and will focus only on the cargo segment. “From world-class and industry-leading driver ergonomics and safety to outright performance in terms of range, volume, capacity; OTUA is the first cargo EV to offer an uncompromising vision of transitioning to sustainable mobility for the global logistics and last mile delivery industry,” Kshitij Bajaj, founder and chief executive officer of OTUA said in a statement. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="OTUA price and availability" comment="subhead" text="OTUA price and availability">OTUA price and availability</cmsannotation> The OTUA has been priced starting at ₹3.5 lakh and goes up to ₹5.5 lakh.

Initially, the vehicle will be available in Delhi NCR, Maharashtra and Gujarat. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="OTUA features" comment="subhead" text="OTUA features">OTUA features</cmsannotation> <div type="image" title="Otua" msid="94096866" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Dandera Otua side profile&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> OTUA is a 3-wheeler cargo EV and comes with a range of up to 300 kms. The company has claimed that the base variant will offer a range of up to 165 km on a single charge and the top-end variant will offer a range of up to 300 km. The OTUA is powered by a 12.8kW motor and has a carrying volume of 183CC and a capacity of 900 kg. The company has claimed that it is the highest load carrying capacity in the industry. The OTUA is an air-conditioned vehicle and comes with a spacious cabin for the driver. Dandera has said that the vehicle has been designed for logistics companies and for last-mile deliveries. However, it has not revealed if its plans to partner with any of the existing companies.

India's auto components industry is expected to grow around 10-15 per cent in FY24, driven by both domestic and export market demand despite fears of recession in major markets of US and <keyword id="28249" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="europe" source="Orion">Europe</keyword>, Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India said on Monday. The auto components industry which clocked a turnover of USD 56.5 billion in FY22 with a growth of 23 per cent over the previous year is expected to end FY23 with a growth of 15 per cent. The domestic components industry stands to gain from the manufacturing of components for internal combustion engines (<keyword id="51841" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="ice" source="Orion">ICE</keyword>) moving to India as the major Western markets of US and Europe migrate towards electric vehicles. "In the first nine months that have gone by, that is until December 2022, our export and import continue to be really very well balanced and they are both at USD 15.1 billion," Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (<keyword id="224858" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="acma" source="Orion">ACMA</keyword>) Director General <keyword id="192232" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="vinnie-mehta" source="Orion">Vinnie Mehta</keyword> told reporters in an interaction here on the sidelines of an event organised by the industry body. He said, "We are wary of the fact of the headwinds because of recessionary trends in Europe and the US. Despite these trends, we feel that our exports are growing in the expected trajectory. We haven't found any slowdown happening in exports. Also imports, because the domestic market has picked up quite strongly." When asked about the outlook for FY24, Mehta said, "On a conservative approach, for FY24 (we) will surely grow in the range of 10-15 per cent." ACMA President <keyword id="125340" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="sunjay-kapur" source="Orion">Sunjay Kapur</keyword> said, "So given the fact that it (growth) is continuing, we expect things to continue in the same way. We're not seeing any signs of a major recession in the US, the way people have talked about it last year, or the last quarter of the last calendar year. As per industry feedback, he said, "From what we're hearing, the January numbers have been good and strong, and therefore, we hope and foresee that it will continue." Also, Kapur said, "The domestic industry is looking very positive in terms of growth and we will see good growth and then carry forward whatever we lack in exports, we will see that covered by the domestic industry."

"Anything that's happening in the ICE space, a lot of it is moving to India because a lot of tier one suppliers have discontinued investing in the ICE design and development for OEMs because of the roadmap of going electric," he added. Moreover, a lot of the traditional components that are being manufactured, also have the option to move to India, as they discontinue manufacturing in the Western world, Kapur said.

EV owners can order a charge to be delivered to their vehicles by using SparkCharge's BoostEV mobile app, SparkCharge said in an emailed statement. The company plans to open up in a different city every month after February and roll out the service in 25 cities by the end of 2021.SparkCharge was founded in 2017 with the goal to build the world's largest mobile electric vehicle charging network through hardware, software, and partnerships. It's Roadie Charging System is a portable modular charging solution that makes charging accessible regardless of infrastructure.<div type="image" title="EV" height="2400" width="3600" msid="81172567" hostid="261"></div>Allstate Roadside, a roadside assistance service provider, and HONK Technologies, the digital platform connecting drivers and towing professionals, and the other partners will bring the portable Roadie charging system to charge vehicles that need a charge, the company said. "Our relationship with SparkCharge supports our commitment to providing innovative solutions and a circle of protection for customers," said Joan Trach, Allstate Roadside Chief Operating Officer in the statement.Spiffy, a car-care service company, is joining BoostEV to offer charging as a service alongside mobile car wash, disinfection, tire changing, among other services, according to SparkCharge's statement. "Our goal is to basically be the fastest-growing EV charging network in the United States because we can be anywhere anytime," SparkCharge founder and CEO Josh Aviv told Insider. "With us it's like take it out of the box, plug it into a car, and you're charging the car."A shift to electric vehicles has been underway in the auto industry as EV sales are expected to grow worldwide, according to a <a href="https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/economy/reports/2020/09/23/489894/electric-vehicles-win-american-workers/#:~:text=Despite%20a%2019%20percent%20drop,and%2054%20million%20by%202040.">report by the Center for American Progress</a>. Over 30% of the global passenger vehicle fleet is expected to be electric by 2040, according to the report.The US's EV market share is expected to grow, according to a <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/automotive-and-assembly/our-insights/electric-mobility-after-the-crisis-why-an-auto-slowdown-wont-hurt-ev-demand">report by McKinsey &amp; Company</a>, but its growth is likely to be slower than in China and Europe, reaching 15% to 35% by 2030. The slow pace of growth mainly depends on oil prices and incentives provided with EV purchases, according to the report.Aviv said that the EV industry needs an infrastructure that can scale and grow with the market, adding that typical EV infrastructure could take a few months before it becomes operational as it deals with the grid limitations, construction, and permits.Additionally, EV owners who want to charge their cars may have to wait in line for service if the station has a limited capacity for vehicles."Every time I have to go to the supercharger, it's a planned event that I need to plan my day, my route, and my journey along where this <keyword id="1393046" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="charging-station">charging station</keyword> might be located," Aviv said. "With BoostEV on-demand charging on our phones, EV owners have access to a network that meant to give them back their freedom that those legacy charging station companies can't offer."SparkCharge's partners are responsible for setting the pricing for the BoostEV charging service, but Aviv said that the price of a full charge, including the delivery costs and other expenses, might go as little as $10.The company also aims to eliminate EV charging deserts by making EV charging accessible in different areas where average- and low-income families and individuals live. "I think BoostEV has the potential and power to remove the barrier to EV adoption because now you don't need to access a charging station," said Aviv. He added that for EV adoption to take off here in America, the industry needs to make EV adoption available to everyone including frontline communities who have been "underrepresented."In October, SparkCharge <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/sparkcharge-revolutionizes-ev-charging-on-abcs-shark-tank-with-a-new-portable-charger-and-consumer-app-301149942.html">was featured</a> on the season premiere of ABC's Shark Tank where it announced plans for BoostEV.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Kevin O'Leary says the US needs to impose heavier tariffs on China.</li><li>"You squeeze them because the Chinese only understand the stick," O'Leary told Fox News on Sunday.</li></ul>"Shark Tank" star <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kevin-oleary-right-to-disconnect-laws-crazy-dumb-2024-9">Kevin O'Leary</a> says the US needs to level the playing field against China by imposing heavy tariffs on the country.O'Leary was on Fox News' "Sunday Night in America with Trey Gowdy" when he called for increased trade restrictions with China."I want to go to DEFCON 19 against China. I don't like tariffs against anybody else, but I want to bring them to their knees with a blowtorch to deal with us fairly, and that's why you use tariffs," O'Leary told Gowdy on Sunday."You squeeze them because the Chinese only understand the stick. I've said it countless times, they understand the stick, they respect the stick, give them the stick," O'Leary added.This isn't the first time O'Leary has <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/kevin-oleary-dedollarization-dollar-dominance-china-yuan-renminbi-trade-stocks-2023-4">expressed his frustrations with the Chinese market</a>. In August, O'Leary told Fox Business host Stuart Varney that he's had a bad experience investing in China."I'm an investor. I have positions in China. And just so everybody knows why I'm so biased — they have screwed me over the last 12 years," O'Leary told Varney."I have no access to their courts. I can't understand why they get to list their companies without the same cost and compliance that I have to pay," O'Leary added.Representatives for O'Leary didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider sent outside regular business hours.O'Leary's call for heavier tariffs echoes former President <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-78-just-called-himself-fine-brilliant-young-man-2024-7">Donald Trump's position on the matter.</a> Trump has said that if he returns to the White House, he plans to <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-impose-tariffs-china-if-elected-2024-2">impose more than 60% tariffs on Chinese goods</a>."You know, obviously, I'm not looking to hurt China. I want to get along with China. I think it's great. But they've really taken advantage of our country," Trump told "Sunday Morning Futures" host Maria Bartiromo in February.The former president has also floated the possibility of imposing tariffs on US companies that move parts of their business abroad. In September, Trump threatened to <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mark-cuban-trump-call-200-percent-tariffs-john-deere-insane-2024-9">impose a 200% tariff on agriculture equipment company John Deere</a> if it moved part of its manufacturing to Mexico."They think they're going to make product cheaper in Mexico and then sell it in for the same price as they did before, make a lot of money by getting rid of our labor and our jobs," Trump told attendees at an agricultural policy roundtable in Smithton, Pennsylvania.To be sure, Trump isn't the only politician who has incorporated tariffs into his economic policy.For one, President Joe Biden <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-tariffs-biden-trump-trade-inflation-outlook-fed-rate-cuts-2024-5">retained most of Trump's trade restrictions</a> on China. The Biden administration has even gone further by <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-tariffs-trade-restrictions-budget-deficit-biden-trump-stephen-roach-2024-7">imposing more tariffs and duties</a> on Chinese exports.In May, the US government <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/white-house-joe-biden-hikes-tariffs-on-chinese-made-evs-2024-5">raised tariffs on Chinese EVs from 25% to 100%</a>, effectively shutting Chinese automakers out of the US market.Vice President <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-you-need-to-know-about-kamala-harris-opportunity-economy-2024-9">Kamala Harris</a>, who is vying against Trump for the presidency, has criticized the latter's push for higher tariffs.During the presidential debate on September 10, Harris said that Trump's tariffs are essentially a "sales tax" on American households.Notably, Harris hasn't said if she would retain Biden's tariffs. But she did say on her campaign website that she "will not tolerate unfair trade practices from China or any competitor that undermines American workers.""Vice President Harris will employ targeted and strategic tariffs to support American workers, strengthen our economy, and hold our adversaries accountable," a Harris campaign spokesperson said in a statement to Foreign Policy magazine last month.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Mark Cuban continued his criticism of former President Donald Trump in a recent interview.</li><li>The billionaire said Trump is "the most unethical" person he had ever done business with.</li></ul>Mark Cuban has a take on why former President Donald Trump has some big backers out in Silicon Valley — and it has a lot to do with Trump's character, he said.The billionaire investor and "Shark Tank" star discussed Trump's politics in an <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqDPrv8oFyY">interview</a> with YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen earlier this week, telling the progressive commentator that Trump is "the antithesis" of someone with good character."I think they believe they can manipulate him. I think they understand that he's so transactional and so devoid of core values that anything that they want they can manipulate him to get," Cuban said of Silicon Valley backers of Trump.During his interview with Cohen, Cuban added that he thinks Trump is "the "most unethical" and "dishonest" person he's ever worked with or done business with. It's unclear what business Cuban is referring to.Cuban added that he believes a president needs to have character and empathy, and who is "ethical when it comes to making difficult decisions.""I can't even imagine why people consider Donald Trump because of his lack of character and ethics," Cuban said.Tesla chief <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-learned-lesson-twitter-x-kamala-harris-donald-trump-2024-9">Elon Musk</a>, who Cuban <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mark-cuban-asking-elon-musk-post-up-x-source-code-2024-8">often spars with on X</a>, is now one of Trump's biggest supporters. Musk endorsed Trump after the former president survived an assassination attempt and has expressed interest in serving on a possible government <a target="_blank" rel="" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-wants-elon-musk-on-his-cabinet-2024-8">efficiency commission should Trump win the election.</a>Cuban also has a theory on why Musk wants to get on the Trump train."If you're the wealthiest person in the world and you have control, effective control — you're the puppet master of the president, the most powerful person in the world?" Cuban said. "Oh my god, that's about as intoxicating — that is the definition of power corrupts, but absolute power corrupts absolutely.""I mean, I would — if I had the same goal, I wouldn't care about my EV sales, right? I wouldn't care about my Starlink sales," Cuban added.To be sure, this isn't the first time Cuban has speculated on his Silicon Valley peers' motivations for backing Trump.In August, Cuban said he thought the tech bros who supported Trump were out for world domination."Watching what's happening in Silicon Valley is insane. It's not so much a support thing. It's more like a takeover thing, trying to put themselves in a position to have as much control as possible," Cuban said in an <a target="_blank" rel=" nofollow" class="" href="https://x.com/TheDailyShow/status/1823177433639505969">interview</a> with the "Daily Show" host <a target="_blank" rel="" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jon-stewart-biden-looked-like-resting-25th-amendment-face-2024-6">Jon Stewart.</a>"They've gotten to the point now where they feel like they should control the world right and that there should be a CEO in charge of everything because they are rich as fuck," Cuban added during his interview with Stewart.<h2 id="abb68b15-63ee-4092-b873-19d85c9781ec">Cuban's doubts about Trump go beyond business</h2>Cuban has endorsed <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mark-cuban-kamala-harris-only-candidate-in-founder-mode-2024-9">Vice President Kamala Harris</a> in the upcoming election and has been increasingly vocal about his distaste for Trump in recent months.The businessman has repeatedly railed against many of Trump's plans. That includes Trump's proposed <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-tariff-trade-tax-proposal-inflation-interest-rates-outlooks-predictions-2024-7">tariffs</a>, which Cuban has said would be disastrous for <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mark-cuban-donald-trump-tariffs-inflation-trade-war-small-business-2024-9">businesses</a>.Cuban's also dislike for Trump goes beyond business. In the Monday video, Cuban accused Trump of bigotry, specifically citing the former president's promotion of baseless claims that <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jd-vance-haitian-immigrants-ohio-eating-pets-trump-2024-9">Haitian immigrants</a> in Springfield, Ohio, are eating pets."That's the Roy Cohn school of management," Cuban said, referring to <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/roy-cohns-influence-donald-trump-king-intimidation-2016-12">Trump's former mentor</a>, the infamous McCarthy-era lawyer. "You demonize, demonize, demonize."But Cuban didn't always feel this way. In an August interview with former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, Cuban said he actually <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mark-cuban-supported-trump-until-know-him-better-2024-8">started out supporting Trump</a>, thinking the businessman could shake up politics. But after digging into Trump's business records, Cuban said he changed his mind."The bigger point is Trump University. <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-soho-has-a-sordid-history-highlights-photos-2017-11">Trump SoHo</a>. Stole $4 million from a friend of mine that had to sue to get it back. Mike Pence," Cuban listed off, referring to the former president's troubled <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-university-settlement-focus-country-2016-11">real-estate training program</a>, luxury hotel, and <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-called-pence-pussy-for-certifying-biden-electoral-vote-win-2021-11">broken relationship</a> with his vice president.Earlier in March, Cuban also told <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.axios.com/2024/03/05/mark-cuban-biden-endorsement-trump-snake-oil">Axios</a> that he would rather vote for President Joe Biden than a "snake oil salesperson.""One will tell you his snake oil will cure everything that ails you. The other will show you the details of his policies through charts, graphs, and statements," he said.Still, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mark-cuban-donald-trump-i-dont-hate-him-at-all-2024-9">Cuban denied "hating" Trump</a> earlier this month, responding to a user on X."I just think he was and would be a lousy president," Cuban wrote.Cuban told Cohen that whoever holds the presidency needs to have good character to handle whatever problems will inevitably arise."You want somebody who is ethical when it comes to making difficult decisions," Cuban said. "I can't even imagine why people consider Donald Trump because of his lack of character and ethics."Cuban, Musk, and representatives for Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.

"During the toilet paper shortages of Covid, I was making sure that our factories and offices had toilet paper."Musk was responding to a clip of an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nvidia-boss-jensen-huang-work-ethic-dennys-cleaning-toilets-dishwashing-2024-3">interview</a> Huang gave in March to Stanford's Graduate School of Business, where he talked about his experience working at the breakfast chain <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/review-is-dennys-grand-slam-pack-worth-it-meal-deal-2024-1">Denny's</a>."To me, no task is beneath me because, remember, I used to be a dishwasher," Huang said. "I used to clean toilets. I cleaned a lot of toilets. I've cleaned more toilets than all of you combined."The experience, Huang said, proved formative in shaping his working style — taking on a hands-on approach toward solving problems with his staff."You can't show me a task that's beneath me," Huang said. "If you send me something, and you want me to help review it, I'll do my best. And I'll show you how I would do it."Musk, for his part, hasn't been afraid to be hands-on either. The Tesla CEO said he once spent a spell sleeping in the EV giant's factories to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-sleeps-at-the-tesla-factory-2016-5">personally inspect the vehicles</a> coming off the production line."The reason I slept on the floor was not because I couldn't go across the road and be at a hotel. It was because I wanted my circumstances to be worse than anyone else at the company," Musk <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-07-12/how-tesla-s-model-3-became-elon-musk-s-version-of-hell#xj4y7vzkg">told</a> Bloomberg in 2018. "Whenever they felt pain, I wanted mine to be worse."To be sure, Musk's praise for Huang probably isn't just because they are kindred spirits when it comes to the hustle. He hasn't hesitated to pick fights with other billionaires known for their hardcore work ethic, like Meta's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-burn-book-billionaires-fighting-with-2024-6#meta-ceo-mark-zuckerberg-1">Mark Zuckerberg</a> and "Shark Tank" star <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-burn-book-billionaires-fighting-with-2024-6#shark-tank-star-mark-cuban-3">Mark Cuban</a>.Musk's friendly overtures may instead have more to do with how intertwined their fortunes are. After all, Musk's ambitions with AI — including <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-looking-to-deploy-its-robotaxis-in-china-2024-5">Tesla's goal of making self-driving cars</a> and his desire to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-xai-raised-6-billion-funding-vc-saudi-arabia-2024-5">turn xAI into the world's leading AI company</a> — mean acquiring Nvidia's chips has become a matter of survival. And for what it's worth, the admiration between Musk and Huang appears to be mutual."Tesla is far ahead in self-driving cars, but every single car, someday, will have to have autonomous capability," Huang said in an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-earns-jensen-huangs-praise-for-tesla-2024-5">interview</a> with Yahoo Finance in May."Thanks Jensen," Musk <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1793529371053191426">wrote</a> in an X post in response.Representatives for Musk and Huang did not immediately respond to a request for comment from BI sent outside regular business hours.

Tesla's unique approach to sales is giving it headaches

<ul class="summary-list"><li>This post originally appeared in the Insider Today newsletter.</li></ul>Welcome back from the long weekend. Donald Trump secured a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-iowa-caucuses-win-results-2024-blowout-2024-1">resounding win</a> in the first 2024 Republican presidential contest in Iowa. Following the result, Vivek Ramaswamy <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/vivek-ramaswamy-antiwoke-entrepreneur-challenging-trump-for-president-gop-2023-2">dropped out of the GOP presidential race</a>.In today's big story, we're looking at how there are still <a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stock-market-outlook-4-biggest-downside-risks-inflation-budget-deficit-2024-1">plenty of risks in the market</a> despite big expectations.What's on deck:<ul><li>Markets: These are Morgan Stanley's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/morgan-stanley-md-list-2024-managing-director-promotions-2024-1">newest managing directors</a>.</li><li>Tech: EV owners should be nervous about <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ev-maintenance-repair-hidden-costs-ownership-hertz-tesla-2024-1">Hertz's decision to downsize its fleet</a>.</li><li>Business: T-Mobile's top marketer has a plan to make 2024 the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/t-mobile-marketing-president-mike-katz-career-journey-5g-strategy-2024-1">strongest year yet</a>.But first, we were promised returns!If this was forwarded to you, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/subscription/newsletter/insider-today">sign up here.</a><h2>The big story</h2><h3>An unsteady start</h3>So much for a "happy" new year.Last year ended with plenty of optimism about the market. Most Wall Street firms had bullish takes on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/news-today-december-18-wall-street-market-predictions-2023-12">where things were headed in 2024</a>.But the year's start hasn't been a smashing success for investors. The market has been somewhat muted during the first two weeks of 2024, with the S&amp;P 500 index up less than 1% year-to-date.And it's not just the market that's disappointing. A slew of recent layoffs across tech and Wall Street — from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/instagram-cuts-technical-program-managers-reinterview-for-pm-roles-2024-1">Instagram</a> to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/read-memo-google-laid-off-workers-jobcuts-2024-1">Google</a> to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/blackrock-layoffs-memo-larry-fink-2024-1">BlackRock</a> — have people on edge.There was more bad news on the job-cut front during Citi's fourth-quarter earnings call Friday. The bank announced it was <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/citigroup-lay-off-workers-jobs-restructuring-2024-1">cutting 20,000 roles by 2026</a>. The move — part of a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/news-today-september-14-citigroup-reorg-big-banks-2023-9">broader restructuring it announced last year</a> — was coupled with what Citi described as "very disappointing" Q4 results.In short, it's tough to feel great about 2024!Market vet Ed Yardeni highlighted <a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stock-market-outlook-4-biggest-downside-risks-inflation-budget-deficit-2024-1">four market risks that could impact trading during the first half of the year</a>. Yardeni, who is still bullish on 2024 overall, pointed to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/who-are-houthis-yemen-rebels-attacking-ships-red-sea-2024-1">geopolitical risks</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/inflation-economy-recession-outlook-fed-rate-cuts-mohamed-el-erian-2024-1">stubborn inflation</a> as what could give investors pause, Business Insider's Matt Fox writes.</li></ul><div type="image" title="jamie dimon" height="900" width="1200" msid="106905649" hostid="261" sizebytes="49400"></div>One of the best indicators of the year ahead comes from banks' Q4 earnings.Finance executives preview what to expect for the year ahead during earnings calls. Beyond being a big employer, banks have a range of clients across industries. So, if banks are worried, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/news-today-october-16-big-banks-predictions-recession-finance-2023-9">it likely means the rest of the business world is, too</a>.Thus far, bank earnings have been a mixed bag. Opposite the Citi news was JPMorgan, which plans to continue hiring bankers and advisors after posting the <a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/jpmorgan-earnings-jamie-dimon-wall-street-profit-banks-interest-rates-2024-1">biggest annual profit in US banking history</a>.BI's finance team has a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/wall-streets-hiring-plans-from-jpmorgan-goldman-blackrock-citi-more">roundup of the biggest Wall Street firms' earnings reports</a> and what it means for their hiring plans.Perhaps no firm better encapsulates the market's juxtaposition than BlackRock. The world's largest money manager <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/blackrock-larry-fink-gip-acquisition-reorganization-layoffs-crypto-2024-1">had a little bit of everything last week</a>, announcing a $12.5 billion deal for a fellow investment firm and securing approval for its bitcoin ETF while also cutting 3% of its staff, writes BI's Michelle Abrego and Rebecca Ungarino.The rest of earnings season will provide a fuller picture of what the year ahead could look like. But the initial takeaway is it won't be the boon some investors previously expected.<h2>Your Tuesday headline catchup</h2>A quick recap of the top news from yesterday.<ul><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-iowa-caucuses-win-results-2024-blowout-2024-1">Iowa called for Trump almost immediately, by everyone</a>.</li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/desantis-iowa-caucuses-counties-trump-haley-conservatives-2024-1">DeSantis spent months hitting all 99 counties of Iowa.

In a recently released interview, he also detailed <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/point72-steve-cohen-stock-market-investing-advice-strategy-hedge-fund-2024-1">what investors should ask themselves amid a trading slump</a>.<h2>3 things in tech</h2><div type="image" title="Sundar Pichai shrugging" height="3145" width="4229" msid="106905720" hostid="261" sizebytes="556554"></div>1.
