The Indian men's football team faces a do-or-die encounter with reigning Asian champions Qatar in their final Group A match of the <keyword id="3711881" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="FIFA-World-Cup-2026" source="Orion">FIFA World Cup 2026</keyword> <keyword id="22015291" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="AFC-qualifiers" source="keywords">AFC qualifiers</keyword>. This decisive clash will take place at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium in Doha on Tuesday, and the stakes couldn't be higher for India. Compounding the challenge, India will be without their talismanic striker <keyword id="20013715" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sunil-Chhetri" source="keywords">Sunil Chhetri</keyword>, who retired from international football following a goalless draw against Kuwait last week. With Chhetri's departure, Gurpreet Singh Sandhu will step up to captain the team in Doha. For India, the outcome of the match against Qatar will be crucial in keeping their hopes of advancing to the FIFA World Cup 2026 alive. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="How can India qualify for the third round of FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifiers?" comment="subhead" text="How can India qualify for the third round of FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifiers?">How can India qualify for the third round of <keyword id="20983702" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="FIFA-World-Cup-2026-qualifiers" source="keywords">FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifiers</keyword>?</cmsannotation> To progress to the third round of the qualifiers, India needs to secure a top-two finish in Group A. Current standings show Qatar sitting comfortably at the top with 13 points, having already secured a place in the next round. India, with five points from as many games, is second, holding a narrow lead over Afghanistan based on goal difference. Kuwait trails closely with four points. In the final round of fixtures, India, Afghanistan and Kuwait all have a shot at claiming the second spot. While India faces the formidable task of beating Qatar, Kuwait will host Afghanistan in a parallel match that also carries significant implications. For the Indian team, the clearest path to the next round is a win against Qatar, which would raise their points tally to eight. However, achieving this would be a colossal challenge given India’s position at 121st in the FIFA rankings compared to Qatar's 34th. Afghanistan could also reach eight points if they secure a victory over Kuwait, but they would need to win by at least eight goals to overcome India’s goal difference—a scenario that is highly improbable. A defeat against Qatar would extinguish India’s chances of advancing, directly relegating them to the third round of the AFC Asian Cup 2027 qualifiers. This would shift their focus from World Cup qualification to continental competition. A draw against Qatar would take India’s points tally to six. In this case, they would need the Kuwait vs Afghanistan match to also end in a draw to maintain their second-place position based on goal difference. A win for either Afghanistan or Kuwait would see them surpass India in the standings, thus taking the second spot. It is important to note that securing a place in the third round of qualifiers would not guarantee India a direct spot in the FIFA World Cup 2026. However, it would provide Igor Stimac's squad multiple chances to qualify, while also ensuring direct entry to the AFC Asian Cup 2027 in Saudi Arabia. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Where to watch Qatar vs India live streaming?" comment="subhead" text="Where to watch Qatar vs India live streaming?">Where to watch <keyword id="8085522" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Qatar-vs-India" source="Orion">Qatar vs India</keyword> live streaming?</cmsannotation> The Qatar vs India football match will kick off at 9:15 PM IST.

Called Yotta D1, it was inaugurated by the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh <keyword id="43254" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="yogi-adityanath" source="Orion">Yogi Adityanath</keyword> and Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Union Minister of State for Electronics &amp; IT. The data center has been set up with an investment of around ₹1,500 crore. Once fully functional, Yotta D1 building will see an additional investment of ₹5,000 crore in IT equipment, the company said in a press release. "When the data revolution began in India, Mumbai and Chennai were prime data storage centers. This is about to change with data centers now coming up in the Delhi NCR region as well. When you have a data center next to you, a lot of companies will be able to give lightning fast processing for data to local people, in turn boosting productivity," said Darshan Hiranandani, co-founder and chairman of Yotta Infrastructure. Yotta D1 is strategically located near the key business hubs of NCR, the company said. The company also entered into an MoU with the UP government to invest ₹39,000 crore in a phased manner over 5-7 years. The investment will go towards constructing the data center campus and procuring IT equipment and other hardware for Yotta customers. "Data will be a $1 trillion dollar economy by 2025 and this data center built in Greater Noida is the fastest-built data center globally. Today, over 85% of India's data is stored abroad. With this emerging data center, that is about to change," said Niranjan Hiranandani of the Hiranandani real estate development group. The data center inaugurated on Monday is spread across 20 acres. The Yotta Greater Noida Data Center Park will offer a total capacity of 30,000 racks, four dedicated fiber paths and an IT power capacity of 160 MW. In addition, the foundation stone-laying ceremony of the next two data center buildings – Yotta D2 &amp; D3, was also performed on Monday. Data centers go ‘local’ Sunil <keyword id="6356160" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="gupta" source="Orion">Gupta</keyword>, co-founder and CEO Yotta Infrastructure, said that India will need to build its data storage capacity at a pace which is 15 times more than the mature global data centers of the world. India has over 700 million active internet users, and has clocked in 9.3 billion UPI transactions in one quarter alone. "If someone in Delhi wants to watch a high-definition movie, they should not wait for data to come from the Mumbai data center," said Gupta, who is also known as India's Data Man. The 5,000 data racks in Yotta D1 building has the capacity for storing at least 60 lakh high-definition movies, the company said. "These data centers will have multiple-use cases. Customers from edtech, healthtech companies, SMEs, public sector units, state government initiatives like AYUSH, Aadhar, storage of passport data can tap into this resource," added Gupta. Launched three years ago, Yotta Infrastructure has built data centers in Powai and will be tapping into Thane and Panvel in Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Gujarat and West Bengal in the coming years. It also aims to go international and is in talks with the government of Bangladesh, the company said.

If you pay ₹45 per month now, your bill could soon more than double to ₹100 per month. “You either consume 1.6GB of capacity per month either at this price point (₹160) or you may prepare to pay a lot more. We are not wanting $50-60 like the US or Europe but certainly $2 for 16 GB per month is not sustainable,” said Sunil Mittal at the launch of a book written by his colleague at Bharti Enterprises, Akhil Gupta. Mittal referred to offering 16GB data at ₹160 as a tragedy, further adding that users should get 1.6GB data at this price or just pay a lot more. This translates to prices of 1GB data at ₹100, instead of ₹10 right now. This could mean a major tariff hike is coming soon. Currently, Airtel offers 1GB per day for 24 days at ₹199 per month. Going by Mittal’s comments, the data benefits could be reduced by ten times, to just 2.4GB per month. He was further quoted by the PTI report as saying that at the lower end, Airtel subscribers would have to pay at least ₹100 per month. Currently, the base Airtel plan costs ₹45 per month, so Mittal is talking about a more than 100% increase in its base tariffs. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="77714933" title="Airtel stock is getting knocked down as investors fear it may have to pay Videocon's dues" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> Airtel eyes an ARPU increase of nearly 60% in the next six months Mittal further said that average revenue per user (ARPU) of ₹300 is required to make the industry sustainable. “You should see solid ARPUs building up in the next 5-6 for industry to be sustainable,” he said. Reiterating that a tariff hike is certain, he further added, “In six months’ time we should be crossing the mark of Rs 200 for sure and Rs 250 would be ideal.” What do Airtel’s current plans look like? Airtel currently offers plans starting at ₹45 and the prices go all the way up to ₹2,698 which offers annual validity.

Airtel wants to increase data prices to ₹100 per GB, founder Sunil Mittal asks subscribers to ‘prepare to pay a lot more’

<ul class="summary-list"><li>A Harvard Business School professor was asked to break down Jeff Bezos' leadership style on a recent podcast.</li><li>The Amazon founder's inventiveness and focus were core to the company's growth, said Professor Sunil Gupta.</li></ul>Jeff Bezos is one of the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jeff-bezos-beats-elon-musk-worlds-richest-person-200-billion-2024-3">world's richest men</a>. Since founding Amazon in 1994, he's led the company from a tiny startup to a global behemoth worth $1.84 trillion.But what is it about the founder's leadership style that has been so exceptionally successful?His inventiveness, fearlessness, and focus have all played a key role in Amazon's growth, said Sunil Gupta, a Harvard Business School professor who has studied Bezos for years.Gupta broke down how Bezos's character has helped Amazon grow on <a target="_blank" href="https://hbr.org/podcast/2024/04/lessons-from-amazons-early-growth-strategy?ab=HP-hero-latest-text-1">a recent episode</a> of Harvard Business Review's "On Strategy" podcast."He gives you enough leeway to try different things, and is willing to invest hundreds of millions of dollars into things that may or may not succeed in the future," said the Harvard professor.But with Bezos' vision and flexibility comes his notoriously tough work ethic."He's certainly a hard charger," said Gupta on the podcast. "When he hires people, he says, you can work long, hard, or smart. But at Amazon, you can choose two out of three."While Bezos may be highly competent, the billionaire's lack of empathy is one aspect of his character that stands out to Gupta as a weakness."Those characteristics of competence and character make people respect you. What makes people love you is when you show compassion, and at least I haven't seen compassion or empathy that comes out of him," Gupta said on the podcast."He certainly comes across as a very hard-charging, driven person, which is probably good for business. But empathy is perhaps lacking right now."<div type="image" title="Jeff Bezos hold CD up to his eye" height="1501" width="2002" msid="109594157" hostid="261" sizebytes="93506"></div>Jeff Bezos was renowned for moving incredibly fast in the early days of Amazon and creating a cutthroat environment for employees.Minimum 60-hour weeks were the norm and the CEO would famously explode at employees who displeased him, hitting them with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/things-amazons-jeff-bezos-tells-employees-when-he-gets-angry-2013-10">snarky comments</a> like, "I'm sorry, did I take my stupid pills today?"His tough attitude as an employer came from his obsession with putting customers above all else. That meant employee perks and benefits typical at other tech companies were off the table.Everything was driven by metrics at Amazon, and office employees have complained of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-you-can-learn-from-jeff-bezos-leadership-style">punishing performance reviews</a> and a culture where nothing ever feels done or good enough.Amazon also faced <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-cuts-2-dollar-hazard-pay-bezos-150-billion-2020-6">widespread criticism</a> for its treatment of workers during the COVID-19 pandemic after many said they felt unsafe at fulfillment centers due to the lack of health and safety precautions.<div type="image" title="Union leaders are joined by community group representatives, elected officials and social activists for a rally in support of unionization efforts by Amazon workers in the state of Alabama on March 21, 2021 in Los Angeles, California. - Workers and organizers are pushing for what would be one of the biggest victories for labor in the United States over the past few decades if successful in the first Amazon wharehouse union election in Bessemer, Alabama, where worker's ballots must reach the regional office of the National Labor Relations Board by March 29 to be counted." height="3712" width="5568" msid="109594161" hostid="261" sizebytes="977202"></div>In 2021, Bezos stepped down as CEO of Amazon after 27 years at the helm to spend more time on philanthropy and his two other major endeavors: The Washington Post and his rocket company, Blue Origin.While Amazon's success is undeniable, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-managers-can-make-workers-happier-in-2023-2023-1">recent Gallup polls</a> have found that American workers feel disengaged when their leaders fail to create a positive workplace culture or give them a sense of purpose."I think some people find it exhilarating to work with these kind of leaders. Some find it very tough," said Gupta.But ultimately, he added, many people just want to be on the winning team: "Amazon's culture of experimentation and innovation. That is energizing to a lot of people."

Jeff Bezos' hard-driving approach is good for business but may lack empathy, Harvard professor says

Mumbai, Earlier this year, he was Pathaan. Now, <keyword id="1671" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="shah-rukh-khan" source="Orion">Shah Rukh Khan</keyword> is promising yet another "high-octane action thriller" in 2023 with "<keyword id="6363925" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="jawan" source="Orion">Jawan</keyword>" and on Monday the actor shared a 'prevue' of the film on Twitter. The 'prevue', as the makers dubbed the 2.12 minute long clip, showcases <keyword id="4546" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="shah-rukh" source="Orion">Shah Rukh</keyword> featuring in several death-defying stunts, songs and mouthing dialogues in his quintessential style. Directed by Atlee of "Theri" and "Mersal" fame, the upcoming pan-India movie also features <keyword id="16829" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="nayanthara" source="Orion">Nayanthara</keyword> and <keyword id="6354625" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="vijay-sethupathi" source="Orion">Vijay Sethupathi</keyword>. It is produced by Gauri Khan and co-produced by Gaurav Gupta under the production banner Red Chillies Entertainment. "Jawan" is billed as "a high-octane action thriller that outlines the emotional journey of a man who is set to rectify the wrongs in the society", the makers said in the accompanying press release. "Who am I, who am I not? I don't know. A promise to a mother or a purpose unfinished. Ask yourself if I am good, bad, a virtue or a curse? Because, for better or worse, I am also you. Ready? "You must have heard the name. This is just the beginning... When I become the villain, no hero stands a chance against me," Shah Rukh's character says in the clip. In the video, the actor is seen sporting four looks -- his face almost covered with bandages, a clean shave, his face half-covered with a grey mask and a bald look. "Jawan" also stars Deepika Padukone in a special appearance, along with Sanya Malhotra, Priyamani, Girija Oak, Sanjeeta Bhattacharya, Lehar Khan, Aaliyah Qureshi, Ridhi Dogra, Sunil Grover and Mukesh Chhabra in key roles. In the clip, Nayanthara is seen arriving in style in her police jeep, whereas Vijay can be seen taking his best aim at a punching bag. The viewers see Deepika, clad in a red sari, wrestle it out with her opponent in rain and mud as she pins him down. According to the video, Shah Rukh's character is aided by an army of women in his mission. "Good to go, Girls?" he asks, to which they respond in unison: "Ready, Chief!" Set to 'The King Khan' rap, a foot-tapping song by Raja Kumari, the "Jawaan" footage ends with the star dancing to the classic Hemant Kumar song "Beqaraar Karke Humein" in a Metro train coach. "Jawan" is slated to be released worldwide on September 7 in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. The film was earlier scheduled to premiere on June 2.

New Delhi, The official trailer of Shah Rukh Khan-starrer "<keyword id="6363925" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="jawan" source="Orion">Jawan</keyword>" has arrived and it promises to take the fans on a ride filled with action, emotions and powerful dialogues. The trailer comes just seven days ahead of the Atlee directorial's release in three languages -- Hindi, Tamil and Telugu -- possibly the first instance for any mainstream movie. "Of Justice &amp; A Jawan. Of Women &amp; their Vengeance. Of a Mother &amp; A Son. And of course, a lot of Fun!!! Ready Ahhh!!! #JawanTrailer out now! #Jawan releasing worldwide on 7th September, 2023 in Hindi, Tamil &amp; Telugu," Shah Rukh posted on X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday. The trailer opens with shots of a wounded person floating on a river before he is rescued by a tribe. "Ek Raja tha, ek ke baad ek jung harta gaya. Bhookha, pyaasa ghum raha jungle me. Bohat gusse me tha," Shah Rukh's character says in the background. The next moment sees him taking commuters of a metro train hostage, along with his team, which includes Sanya Malhotra, Priyamani, Girija Oak, Sanjeeta Bhattacharya, Lehar Khan, and Aaliyah Qureshi. In one of the most cracky scenes, a voice from a handheld transceiver asks the actor, "What do you want?", to which he replies, "Chahiye to Alia Bhatt." And this is just the opening moments of the trailer, which offers a lot more to the fans than the movie's prevue, unveiled by the team in July. Throughout the trailer, Shah Rukh can be seen in multiple avatars, including one where he is sporting grey hair and another with a moustache. The variety of looks have inspired fan theories that the actor could be playing a double role in the movie. Nayanthara plays the cop who is tasked with bringing down Shah Rukh's vigilante character but in many moments, she is also seen romancing the actor. Actor Deepika Padukone also makes a special appearance and she is seen wrestling Shah Rukh to the ground in one of the scenes. The main antagonist is played by Vijay Sethupathi. His character is Kalee, who describes himself as the "fourth largest weapons dealer in the world". The trailer then takes a grim turn as it showcases plenty of gore, violence and bloodbath. Like Shah Rukh's blockbuster movie "Pathaan", "Jawan" also strikes a patriotic chord as the actor, donning the army uniform, is seen delivering the dialogue, "Hum Jawan hai. Apni jaan hazaar baar daav par laga sakte hai, lekin sirf desk ke liye.Tumhare jaise desh bechne walo ke liye hargis nahi. (I'm a soldier and I can give my life a thousand times, but only for the country, not for somone like you, who sell our country)." In one of the scenes, Shah Rukh's character makes and a grand entry with a cigar and a hammer. "Bete ko haath lagane se pehle, baap se baat kar (Before touching the son, deal with the father)," the character says. "Jawan" also stars Sunil Grover and Mukesh Chhabra in key roles. It is produced by Gauri Khan and co-produced by Gaurav Gupta under the production banner Red Chillies Entertainment.

'Jawan' trailer out: Shah Rukh Khan-starrer promises action, drama and punchy dialogues

Encouraged by volume growth, margin improvement and recovery in rural sales, India's top fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies are now back to their normal growth cycle as they step up investments as well as spending on advertising and marketing. <keyword id="84065" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="fmcg-companies" source="Orion">FMCG companies</keyword> are chasing volume growth again after a gap of a few quarters, offering higher grammage and price cuts thanks to inflationary pressures softening on key raw materials for everything from soaps to food items. Hindustan Unilever (HUL), Dabur, Marico, Godrej Consumer Products, ITC, Tata Consumer Products and Nestle reported volume recovery in the March quarter and said they expect a gradual pickup in consumption in FY24. "The prospects of a sustained recovery have strengthened. After five quarters of volume decline, the sector has posted volume growth," Marico MD and CEO Saugata Gupta said in the company's earnings conference call. "Urban consumption has been steady while rural is showing some convincing signs of having bottomed out." Foods continue to drive growth for the sector, while the home and personal care segment also entered positive territory after an extended slowdown. Marico, which owns popular brands like Saffola, Parachute and Livon, reported an 18.7 per cent increase in its consolidated net profit to Rs 305 crore for the fourth quarter ended March 2023 while sales rose 3.65 per cent to Rs 2,240 crore, driven by single-digit volume growth and moderation in commodity prices. HUL said rural areas have shown improvement with higher value growth sequentially. While HUL's volumes continue to fall, the extent of decline has reduced versus last quarter. "The slowdown in the FMCG market is bottoming out. This improvement was led by volumes, which have turned flat in this quarter, versus a mid-single-digit decline in the December quarter," said HUL CFO Ritesh Tiwari in its earnings call. The makers of popular brands such as Rin, Lux, Surf Excel and Pond's said it expects the price-volume growth to rebalance further. "We expect volumes to recover gradually due to high levels of cumulative inflation and the fact that consumption habits typically recover with a lag," he said. For the March quarter, HUL reported an increase of 12.74 per cent in its consolidated net profit to Rs 2,601 crore. Net sales rose 10.83 per cent to Rs 14,926 crore. However, HUL warned the near-term operating environment is likely to remain volatile due to global slowdown risk and uncertainty related to weather phenomena like El Nino and heatwaves. Abneesh Roy, Nuvama Group Executive Director for Institutional Equities, said the outlook for the <keyword id="495979" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="fmcg-industry" source="Orion">FMCG industry</keyword> was "positive" with volume growth and improvement in margins for most companies in FY24. "As raw material prices are cooling off, companies shall start paring prices via grammage increase or gradual price reductions. Price growth shall ease while volume growth will improve," he said. Roy also cautioned about the impact of El Nino and the "aggression" from billionaire Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries Ltd, a known disrupter, which aims to be a big player in the USD 110-billion FMCG segment. Meanwhile, Godrej Consumer reported an 11.47 per cent increase in its India revenue to Rs 1,822.92 crore in the March quarter. This was led by volume growth of 11 per cent. Its home care segment, which consists of household insecticides and air fresheners, grew 14 per cent and 17 per cent, respectively. "We expect to build on the current momentum and deliver volume-led growth along with upfront marketing investments and improvement in profitability," said its Managing Director and CEO Sudhir Sitapati. Britannia Executive Vice-Chairman and Managing Director Varun Berry also expressed optimism. "Volume growth will be certainly much better than this year," he said. On commodity prices, Berry said there is deflation in prices of palm oil, laminates and corrugated material for packing but flour and milk prices are soaring. "There are certain brands and certain packs where we have already initiated price reductions or promotions," he said. In the March quarter, Britannia reported a 47.53 per cent jump in consolidated net profit to Rs 557.60 crore. Its revenue from operations rose 10.93 per cent to Rs 3,892.02. Similarly, Dabur reported volume growth of 11 per cent during the March quarter and 14 per cent for FY23. Its quarterly net profit was Rs 292.76 crore and revenue from operations stood at Rs 2,677.8 crore. "Despite near-term concerns around inflationary pressures, we plan to accelerate the growth momentum by continuing to invest in brand building, innovation, and capabilities that will drive growth," said Dabur India CEO Mohit Malhotra. Other companies also recorded growth. ITC's revenue from the FMCG segment rose 19.34 per cent to Rs 4,951.17 crore from Rs 4,148.62 crore while EBITDA jumped 76 per cent. Nestle, the maker of Maggi, Kitkat and Nescafe, reported an increase of 24.69 per cent in its net profit to Rs 736.64 crore in the March quarter. Sales rose 20.43 per cent to Rs 4,808.40 crore. Tata Consumer reported a 21.12 per cent rise in its consolidated net profit to Rs 289.56 crore. Its revenue from operations was up 13.96 per cent at Rs 3,618.73 crore. Tata Consumer said it recorded growth in the India beverages business and food. It had a "strong margin growth and strong topline growth driven both by volume and price," the company said in its earnings call. "We have started seeing volume growth coming back. The impact of inflation and monetary tightening on economic growth and demand seems to be slowing down, but I would keep my fingers crossed and monitor it closely," said Tata Consumer MD and CEO Sunil D'Souza. "In the near term, we are seeing stability."
