'25% not enough': Trump says he may increase tariffs on India in the next 24 hours

U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to increase tariffs on Indian imports beyond the initial 25% as part of escalating trade tensions. Trump's decision is partly driven by India's continued purchase of Russian oil amidst the ongoing conflict involving Ukraine, emphasizing his dissatisfaction with India's trading relations and tariffs. The Kremlin criticized these U.S. tactics as illegitimate, defending countries' rights to choose trading partners. New Delhi deemed the tariff threats unjustified.

Donald Trump tariffs marginally favourable for Indian smartphone exports: Crisil

US tariffs, particularly those initiated by President Donald Trump, may slightly benefit India's smartphone exports. While U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports stand at 245%, Indian exports face a lower tariff of 26%. This could make Indian-made smartphones more competitive, despite being priced higher than Chinese ones. However, such tariffs may increase U.S. inflation and push global manufacturers to seek markets with lower tariffs, potentially impacting India's export boost in the longer term.

Zoho CEO Sridhar Vembu revives 70-hour work week debate, says no need to work to 'demographic decline

Zoho Corporation CEO Sridhar Vembu has ignited the debate surrounding the necessity of a 70-hour work week for economic development. He pointed out the hardworking culture of East Asian countries like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and China, arguing that excessive work hours have contributed to their economic growth. However, he emphasized that only a small percentage of the population, around 2-5%, needs to work long hours to drive progress, and the rest should aim for a work-life balance. Vembu also highlighted the potential negative consequences, such as low birth rates and a lonely old age, which may not be worth the economic success achieved through extensive work hours.

Companies have a playbook for tariffs under Trump. It includes price increases.

Companies are considering potential price increases in response to proposed tariffs under the Trump administration. Some CFOs are hesitant to raise prices as customers are already feeling the strain of inflation. While price hikes are not the only option, they are being considered by companies as a response to potential tariffs. Many companies have diversified their supply chains away from China in recent years to mitigate future trade issues. CFOs face challenges in determining the balance between price increases and other options to offset tariffs, as consumers may not be open to additional price increases.
