    Digital Gold: The Hype and The Blind Spots

    Digital gold is booming - but is it safe? India’s love for gold has gone digital. From ₹1 micro-purchases to 24x7 vault-backed convenience, digital gold is fast becoming the new-age savings habit. But behind the glitter lies a grey zone - hidden markups, patchy audits and no regulatory oversight.  Now, with SEBI stepping in to sound the alarm, the question is whether this booming fintech favourite can stay credible without a watchdog.  In this episode of The Morning Brief, host Anirban Chowdhury unpacks the rise, risks and realities of digital gold with Abhinav Kaul, Senior Assistant Editor at ET Wealth and Harshad Chetanwala, Co-founder of MyWealthGrowth.com.

    Physics Wallah Founders on IPO, Growth and Losses

    Edtech star Physics Wallah has taken a bold leap - from the virtual classroom to Dalal Street. What began in 2016 as Alakh Pandey’s YouTube channel for JEE and NEET aspirants has grown into a $2.8 billion unicorn—now testing investor sentiment with a ₹3,480 crore IPO. Yet, despite the hype, subscriptions remain sluggish and market buzz subdued. Is this the next phase of India’s edtech story or another early reality check for a celebrated startup? Ahead of the listing, ET’s Startups Editor Samidha Sharma and reporter Tanishka Dubey sat down with founders Alakh Pandey and Prateek Maheshwari to unpack the company’s rapid rise, its financial strain, and what comes next in its expansion playbook.

    Nobel Laureate James A Robinson On Power and Prosperity, AI and Society

    Why do nations rise - and why do they fail? In this special edition of The Morning Brief, ET’s Executive Editor Sruthijith KK speaks to James A. Robinson, co-author of the seminal Why Nations Fail and co-winner of the 2024 Nobel Prize for Economics, on the shifting architecture of power, prosperity and politics. Robinson unpacks why economists no longer lean on the term “capitalism,” the perils of simplistic theories like “geography is destiny,” and how inclusive institutions - not authoritarian efficiency - determine a nation’s fate. From India’s deep democratic roots and Africa’s untapped potential to the United States’ “mad rush for productivity” that he calls “a train wreck waiting to happen,” Robinson offers a profound reflection on the forces remaking our world.

    Groww’s ₹6,600 Cr Leap - Fintech’s Big Market Test Begins

    India’s largest retail broker is making its debut on Dalal Street - but can Groww sustain its blistering rise once the markets start asking harder questions? Founded in 2016 by four ex-Flipkart entrepreneurs, Groww has reimagined investing for young India - through clean design, relatable content, and a promise of simplicity in finance. Its ₹6,600-crore IPO now is a test of whether scale built on retail exuberance can evolve into long-term resilience. With 80% of its revenue still anchored in broking and regulators sharpening their scrutiny of speculative trades, Groww faces its toughest market yet - the public one. In this episode of The Morning Brief, host Anirban Chowdhury speaks with Pratik Bhakta, ET’s in-house fintech expert, to decode Groww’s journey - its breakout playbook, its pressure points, and whether this listing signals India’s fintech maturity or just another market mirage.
