New Delhi: Mukesh Ambani is taking Reliance Industries into a new phase where telecom, retail, artificial intelligence, new energy and digital services are becoming increasingly important alongside the company’s traditional oil and chemicals businesses. Reliance has already transformed India’s telecom market through Jio. The next major opportunity is to turn Jio into a broader technology platform. Jio Platforms is expected to become one of the biggest corporate events in India’s capital markets, with Reuters reporting plans for a listing that could raise around $3.8 billion and value the company at roughly $180 billion. AI is another major part of the…

New Delhi: Tata Group is making one of India’s largest investments in the semiconductor industry and this is aimed at making the nation a contender in the global field. Tata Electronic’s $11 billion semiconductor manufacturing unit or “fab” is located in Dholera, Gujarat. The plant will produce chips for automotive, smart phone, computer and artificial intelligence industries, among other applications. The project is significant because India has always relied on foreign nations for producing semiconductors.

New Delhi: Meta has made one of its biggest bets on an Indian fintech company, investing about $900 million in CRED. The deal has immediately raised a bigger question: Is Meta trying to turn its massive messaging and social-media ecosystem into something much closer to a super-app? First, one clarification: the $900 million investment is being made by Meta, not personally by Mark Zuckerberg. Meta will become a minority shareholder in CRED through a combination of primary and secondary share purchases. The transaction values CRED at about $4.5 billion after the investment. The deal is significant because CRED is no…

New Delhi: Jio Platforms has received approval from India’s market regulator for a proposed $3.8 billion initial public offering (IPO), setting the stage for what could become the country’s largest-ever stock market listing. The IPO, backed by billionaire Mukesh Ambani and his Reliance Industries group, is expected to involve the issue of around 270 million shares. If the offering reaches its targeted size, it would comfortably overtake the previous record held by Hyundai Motor India, whose IPO raised about $2.95 billion in 2024. The approval comes at an important time for India’s IPO market, which has seen a strong pickup…

New Delhi: The Tata Group is not facing a business crisis. Its companies continue to operate across technology, automobiles, steel, aviation, retail and consumer products. Its bigger problem is now who gets to decide the group’s future. Chandrasekaran, chairman of Tata Sons, is set to step down when his current term ends in February 2027. His departure has turned the question of succession into one of India’s biggest corporate governance stories. At the centre of the issue is Noel Tata. Noel, chairman of Tata Trusts, became one of the group’s most powerful figures following Ratan Tata’s death in 2024. Tata…

New Delhi: Mark Zuckerberg’s relationship with India has gone through several very different phases. More than a decade ago, Meta was trying to convince Indians to get online through Free Basics. Today, the company is investing hundreds of millions of dollars in Indian fintech, building AI infrastructure with Reliance and expanding WhatsApp into payments, business and commerce. The latest move is perhaps the biggest signal yet. In June 2026, Meta announced a $900 million investment in Indian fintech company CRED, valuing the startup at around $4.5 billion. At the same time, CRED founder Kunal Shah was tapped to lead WhatsApp…

New Delhi: Adani Enterprises has emerged as the best-performing stock on the Nifty 50 index in 2026, marking a significant turnaround for the flagship company of billionaire Gautam Adani. The company’s shares have gained around 34% so far this year, putting Adani Enterprises at the top of India’s benchmark index and reviving investor interest in the Adani Group’s flagship business. The recovery is particularly notable because the company and the wider Adani Group faced a severe market crisis following the January 2023 Hindenburg Research report. The sell-off wiped more than $150 billion from the group’s combined market value at one…
