Medial
Infosys has expressed optimism for fiscal year 2026, being the first major Indian IT firm to do so, as it raises its revenue guidance and anticipates improved tech spending. This contrasts with the cautious stances of peers like Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Wipro amidst macroeconomic uncertainty and generative AI disruptions. Infosys CEO Salil Parekh's discussions with Kotak Institutional Equities analysts highlight their confidence in a macroeconomic recovery, despite past challenges like the US tariff changes.

Suresh Muthuswami, chair of TCS North America and overseer of nearly $15 billion in business, has resigned from Tata Consultancy Services. His departure is the biggest executive loss since K Krithivasan became CEO of TCS last year. TCS's American and Canadian business accounted for over half of its revenue in the fiscal year ending March 2024, making Muthuswami's role significant. The reason behind his departure is unknown, but it comes as a surprise given the growth of TCS's North America business under his leadership. TCS will not have a chairman for the North American region, and Amit Bajaj, president of the region, will assume responsibilities.

Why Elon Musk’s robotaxi dreams are premature

Elon Musk's plan for Tesla's robot cars relies on end-to-end artificial intelligence (AI) where algorithms learn to drive safely by analyzing video footage from existing Teslas. However, this approach contrasts with competitors like Waymo, which break down the problem of self-driving into more distinct tasks with greater input from human engineers. While Musk's vision relies on AI technology reaching a higher level of sophistication, AI developers argue that it is still far from achieving that. Musk's optimism and vague promises have also raised skepticism about the feasibility of his plans.

Regulatory crackdowns in the crypto world, such as the recent case involving Binance, may actually revive investor optimism and benefit Bitcoin. Traders speculate that the SEC is more likely to approve US exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that own Bitcoins on a spot basis. Asset managers, including BlackRock and Fidelity, have filed requests to launch spot Bitcoin ETFs, which could attract more investors. While the crackdown might limit unsupervised innovation, it could lead to compliant exchanges and ease concerns about price manipulation, potentially paving the way for the approval of spot ETFs.

Insurance giant Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) reported a 50% drop in net profit for the second quarter of the financial year 2024, amounting to Rs 7,925 crore. The decline was attributed to a decrease in net premium income and a change in accounting policy. However, LIC saw a rise in income from investments and improvements in solvency margin and gross non-performing assets ratio. While LIC's group business performance showed mixed results, the chairman expressed optimism for future growth. Other leaders in the Indian insurance market include SBI Life, HDFC Life, and ICICI Prudential Life.
