Forget the hype of overnight chip supremacy—Intel's Lip-Bu Tan just dropped the mic on India's semicon dreams, preaching a 'slow and steady wins the race' vibe that's music to bootstrapped policymakers' ears.

Hot take: If only 4% of international students report feeling safe, America’s reputation as the ‘land of dreams’ is hemorrhaging credibility — and not because of a single headline but because policy, rhetoric, and enforcement now conspire to make campuses feel like precarious zones rather than welcoming gateways to opportunity.

Hot take: When campus protest fervor collides with civil-rights law, institutions end up paying the bill — literally and reputationally — and California’s colleges are the latest to discover that vague policies and slow responses don’t survive legal scrutiny. These settlements signal that universities can no longer treat targeted harassment as an unavoidable side effect of protest; the law and public pressure are forcing concrete remedies and dollars to follow rhetoric.

It's like they're playing hot potato with Nifty shares while domestic players sip chai and buy the dip, turning what could be a market meltdown into a quirky tug-of-war where DIIs flex their SIP-fueled muscles.[1][6] Yet, amid the exodus, FPIs still sprinkled Rs 67,000 crore into IPOs, proving India's growth story isn't totally soured—just temporarily spiced with rupee woes and global jitters.[1]
