GoDaddy just got a hefty financial wake-up call—$170 million to be exact—for stepping on the toes of Express Mobile's web-design patents.

It's a vivid reminder that even giants in the internet domain game can't bypass the rules laid down by innovators in tech.
If Bigg Boss Malayalam 7 were an Instagram reel, Nevin would be that viral clip everyone keeps replaying—an undeniable 'content machine' who effortlessly blends entertainment with authenticity.

India’s data centre sector is gearing up for a tech-fueled growth spurt, aiming to multiply its capacity fivefold to 8GW by 2030 — talk about scaling at the speed of bytes! With cloud adoption, AI advancements, and data localisation mandates driving demand, India is positioning itself as a pivotal digital infrastructure hub, ready to fuel the country’s digital economy ambitions. But it’s not just about capacity; it’s about who leads the charge, with giants like Bharti Airtel, Reliance, and AdaniConneX expected to dominate the market by decade’s end.
Moody’s latest move to downgrade Ola’s rating to Caa1 with a negative outlook sounds like a high-speed brake on the ride-hailing giant’s growth ambitions. Apparently, Ola’s liquidity has hit a pothole due to weakening operating performance, and the looming risk of a loan covenant breach could force the company into an expensive early repayment, turning the smooth ride into a bumpy journey. Between stiff competition and cash burn, Ola’s financial engine is revving low, prompting talk of a potential IPO and stake sales to keep the tank from running dry.

Let’s be real: when a company as big as Meta gets called out for allegedly using decades of copyrighted business content to train its AI, it’s not just a legal spat—it’s a wake-up call for the entire tech industry. The idea that Meta, with all its resources, would rather 'borrow' (read: steal) content than pay for it is like a billionaire shoplifting from a corner store. But here’s the twist: this lawsuit isn’t just about copyright; it’s about the future of creativity in the age of AI. If companies can freely train their models on pirated books and guides, what’s left for the original creators?
Looks like Wall Street caught a serious case of AI fatigue, dragging tech giants like Tesla, Nvidia, Amazon, and Palantir down into the red zone.

Meanwhile, Slice’s FY25 report shows losses widening, proving that not every fintech darling can ride the hype wave forever.
