Kakumanu Ravi Chandra, Founder & Chief Executive Officer (CEO), IND Classifieds New Delhi [India], January 27: Small businesses and local service providers in India make up the core of the country’s economy and provide a significant number of jobs and grassroots economic activity. Billions of livelihoods rely on local business, not only of neighbourhood retailers and service professionals, but also of micro-enterprises and home-based businesses. However, despite the rapid pace of digital adoption that can be seen across urban India, even to this day, a significant share of small businesses is not overrepresented in the online ecosystem. And as Founder of…

New Delhi: India-EU FTA: PM Modi made the announcement while addressing the Indian Energy Week virtually. No summit theatrics. No ceremonial delay. Just a statement that cut through weeks of speculation. The agreement between India and the European Union was signed on Monday, he said. The largest trade bloc India has ever locked in. “This free trade agreement will strengthen confidence in India for every business and every investor in the world. India is working extensively on global partnerships in all sectors,” – PM Modi He called it what others already had. The mother of all deals. Not as hype,…

New Delhi [India], January 26: Mark Carney is preparing to land in India in early March. It is not ceremonial. It is strategic, urgent, and long overdue. Canada’s prime minister is expected to visit India in the first week of March to sign a clutch of agreements spanning uranium, energy, critical minerals, artificial intelligence, and emerging technology. The timeline was confirmed by India’s High Commissioner to Canada, Dinesh Patnaik, in an interview this weekend. This visit sits inside a much larger recalibration. Canada is actively reducing its dependence on the United States. India is the clearest alternative partner on the…

New Delhi [India], January 26: This story refused to end for years. Now it’s cornered. The India EU Free Trade Agreement is finally being treated like something real. Start with the optics. Delhi. Republic Day afterglow. Prime Minister Narendra Modi hosting European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Antonio Costa. That alone sets the temperature. But the substance matters more. An announcement signalling the conclusion of talks on the India EU Free Trade Agreement is expected to anchor the summit. Not buried. Not vague. Front and centre. Alongside it, a strategic defence pact and a mobility…

New Delhi [India], January 26: Everyone keeps pretending this is complicated. It isn’t. The number has been stable for decades, and the arguments around it are mostly coping strategies dressed up as productivity theory. Adult humans need roughly eight hours of sleep. Not “six to seven.” Not “whatever works for you.” Eight. Nightly. Repeatedly. Forever. The variability people cite exists at the margins, and almost no one lives there. You can survive on less. You can function. You can even perform. That’s the trap. Sleep deprivation is generous that way. It gives you just enough rope to believe you’re the…

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 26: India’s youngest entrepreneurs aren’t “future leaders.” They’re already running the table. Under 30. No inheritance. No patience. Something shifted. Quietly at first. Then all at once. Young Indian entrepreneurs under 30 in 2026 are not playing startup fantasy leagues. They’re shipping. Scaling. Filing IPO papers. And they’re doing it in sectors that used to scare older money. Deep-tech. Space. Healthcare. Infrastructure disguised as apps. This isn’t hustle culture. It’s execution culture. Look at Zepto. Kaivalya Vohra is 22. Aadit Palicha is 23. The story has been repeated so often it risks sounding cute. It isn’t.…

London [United Kingdom], January 26: Robbie Williams now holds the record. Sixteen UK number-one albums. The Beatles are at fifteen. That’s it. That’s the fact. Everything else is people negotiating their feelings about it. Different eras. Different rules. Different consumption habits. All true. Also, besides the point. Charts are not philosophy seminars. They’re ledgers. Numbers go up. Records fall over. Nobody asks whether the fall was tasteful. What makes people itchy isn’t that Robbie Williams beat The Beatles. It’s how he did it. Slowly. Publicly. Without ever becoming sacred. He didn’t vanish into legend. He didn’t die young. He didn’t…

New Delhi [India], January 26: Tea is still a booming business in India because it never needed permission to exist. That’s the part most entrepreneurs miss. Tea doesn’t care about branding decks, pitch days, or lifestyle adjectives. It’s there at 6 a.m. in chipped cups, at railway platforms smelling like burnt milk, in offices where nothing else works but deadlines and caffeine. It’s infrastructure. People confuse that with opportunity and then wonder why they get chewed up. India didn’t “discover” tea as a market. It inherited it, absorbed it, ritualised it. Tea isn’t consumed here; it’s leaned on. Emotionally. Economically.…
