Needless to say, there was a barrage of announcements from the company including a tie up with Reliance to build AI infrastructure in the country. So what can Nvidia and India do for each other?

    Hoax or Horror: The Unprecedented Surge in Flight Threats

    India’s airlines are facing a never-before, nowhere-else crisis. Close to 100 bomb threat calls in just 7 days, numerous flight delays, and hundreds of crores in losses—India's airline industry is in turmoil. What’s causing this surge in threats, and why is it so difficult to tackle? Will it lead to a fear of flying among passengers, and how are airlines and the government responding? Join host Anirban Chowdhury as he speaks with The Economic Times’ airline tracker Arindam Majumder, Shyamala D., former DIG of the Central Industrial Security Force, and Rajesh Chandra, former head of the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security, to break down the situation, its impact, and the measures being taken.

    Why The Indian Consumer Is Still Trapped In Dark Patterns?

    Ten months after the government stipulated guidelines to curb them, dark patterns continue to be used by ecommerce companies in India-from travel to health tech. These deceptive design strategies are used to manipulate users into sharing personal information or making unintended purchases. With India’s e-commerce market expected to reach $350 billion by 2030, this is a menace that needs to be prevented. But how? Anirban Chowdhury and Dia Rekhi talk to Manisha Kapoor of ASCI, Nidhi Khare, Consumer Affairs Secretary and Sachin Taparia of LocalCircles to understand the nuances and the way forward. You can listen to our earlier episode by Mugdha Variyar on Why dark patterns are under the surveillance spotlight?
