Salil Parekh took home ₹82.6 crore in FY26—more than triple the ₹28 crore paid to TCS’s K. Krithivasan—driven largely by stock awards, even as TCS dwarfed Infosys in revenue and profit. The annual reports of India’s tech giants showed a startling discrepancy at the top, not in business performance but in the salaries of the two men in charge of the nation’s biggest IT firms, during a year when they cautiously increased artificial intelligence spending while holding back on broader investment. In FY26, Salil Parekh, the CEO and Managing Director of Infosys, was paid ₹82.6 crore. His colleague at the…

In order to combine isobutanol with diesel, Bharat Petroleum is already doing…

-by Jaya Pathak The Indian credit-card market has entered its less forgiving phase. For years, banks used rewards as a blunt acquisition weapon; in 2026, the stronger products are those that reveal a sharper truth: loyalty is now priced, rationed and increasingly engineered. Credit card spends in India rose to about ₹1.97 trillion in April 2026, with outstanding cards at roughly 119 million. That is not a niche affluent market anymore. It is a mass financial habit layered over e-commerce, travel, dining, UPI-linked payments and aspiration. Yet the best cards are not the ones with the loudest advertised benefits. They…

-by Jaya Pathak A credit score is no longer a private financial statistic; it has become a visible marker of trust in an economy where lenders increasingly prefer data to explanation. For years, borrowers treated credit scores as something to be checked only when a bank asked for documents. That habit is now outdated. A mortgage application, a business loan, a credit-card upgrade, even a founder’s negotiation for short-term working capital can be shaped before the first meeting begins. The score has already spoken. It may not tell the whole truth, but it often sets the terms on which the…

-by Jaya Pathak The next ten years for Indian startups will not be about bigger funding numbers or flashy deals, but about something more important: the emergence of a market that is large enough, digital enough, and strict enough in its expectations to transform good startups into long‑lasting, solid companies. For much of the last decade, India’s startup story was powered by possibility. The market was large, the internet was spreading, capital was impatient, and founders were celebrated for speed. That era produced remarkable companies, but it also produced excess: confused unit economics, borrowed business models, soft governance, and the…

-by Jaya Pathak India has digitised the doorway to MSME policy with impressive speed; what remains under-designed is the room into which entrepreneurs are expected to walk. For a small business owner, the problem is rarely the absence of another government website. It is the absence of predictable credit, timely payment, enforceable contracts and a policy system that understands the brutal arithmetic of working capital. The Indian state has, to be fair, built a substantial digital architecture around micro, small and medium enterprises. Udyam has expanded formal recognition. Udyam Assist has pulled informal micro enterprises closer to the banking system.…

Reliance Consumer Products, or RCPL, is aiming to outpace industry growth through accelerated organic expansion, complemented by targeted strategic partnerships and acquisitions, emphasizing that higher purchasing power translates into higher purchase frequency and preference for healthier and better-for-you products.
