New Delhi: India’s next technology battle may not be fought by traditional technology companies alone. Some of the world’s most powerful businessmen, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani, are increasingly competing for pieces of the same opportunity: India’s rapidly growing digital economy. Their strategies are different, but the areas they are targeting increasingly overlap. Mukesh Ambani has perhaps the most established position. Reliance’s Jio transformed India’s telecom market and gave the group access to hundreds of millions of consumers.

New Delhi: Elon Musk’s infamous “Go f*** yourself” remark has returned to public discussion as scrutiny around his businesses and leadership style continues to grow.

Speaking at The New York Times DealBook Summit, Musk was asked about the growing advertiser boycott following his endorsement of an antisemitic conspiracy theory on X. Major companies including Disney, Apple and IBM had paused advertising on the platform. Musk initially apologised for the controversial…

New Delhi: Even though Gautam Adani has won a significant case in the United States, the completion of the criminal trial doesn’t end everything related to the controversy. U.S. Justice Department had asked a federal judge to drop the charges against him and his nephew Sagar Adani in the criminal fraud and bribery case, which was dismissed on August 10, 2026. It had become one of the biggest case to deal with for the Indian billionaire and his business empire. The initial case from 2024 alleged Adani and others were involved in a scheme to bribe Indian officials to win…
