    New Labour Code Set to Ease Hiring and Firing, Says TeamLease CFO

    New Delhi, November 24, 2025

  • Karnataka Bike Taxi Ban Sparks Showdown Between Govt and Industry

    Karnataka Bike Taxi Ban Sparks Showdown Between Govt and Industry

    Bengaluru, November 24, 2025

    The Karnataka government, led by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, has intensified its push to ban bike taxi services across the state, citing concerns over passenger safety, unregulated operations, and legal ambiguity. Officials argue that many bike taxis operate without proper permits, posing risks to riders and violating state transport laws. The government also claims that the surge in unregistered two-wheeler aggregators has created enforcement challenges and threatens the livelihoods of traditional auto and taxi drivers.

    However, the decision has triggered strong opposition from the startup ecosystem, mobility companies, and commuters. Industry bodies argue that bike taxis provide affordable, fast, and last-mile connectivity, especially in traffic-heavy cities like Bengaluru. They warn that the ban could stifle innovation, hurt drivers who rely on the service for income, and inconvenience lakhs of daily users. Companies are now urging the government to adopt a regulatory framework instead of an outright ban, setting the stage for a heated policy debate in the coming weeks.

  • RBI Strikes Back To Halt Rupee’s Fall Toward 90-Mark

    RBI Strikes Back To Halt Rupee’s Fall Toward 90-Mark

    Mumbai, November 24, 2025

    The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has stepped in aggressively to arrest the Indian rupee’s rapid decline toward the ₹90 per US dollar level. With rising global uncertainties and persistent foreign outflows putting pressure on the currency, the central bank launched a series of targeted interventions, including dollar sales and liquidity measures, to stabilize the market. Officials say the RBI is determined to prevent panic-driven volatility and restore confidence among investors.

    Economists note that while external pressures remain elevated, India’s strong forex reserves and the RBI’s proactive stance provide a solid buffer. Market analysts believe the central bank’s firm response will help cool speculation and steady the rupee in the short term. However, they caution that sustained stability will depend on global economic cues and domestic macroeconomic discipline in the coming months.

  • Saturn’s Rings to “Disappear” Tonight — A Rare Astronomical Illusion

    Saturn’s Rings to “Disappear” Tonight — A Rare Astronomical Illusion

    New Delhi, November 24, 2025

    Skywatchers across India are set to witness a rare celestial illusion tonight as Saturn’s iconic rings appear to vanish. Astronomers explain that this phenomenon occurs due to the planet’s ring-plane crossing, when Earth aligns perfectly with Saturn’s rings, making them look thin and nearly invisible through telescopes. While it may seem like the rings have disappeared, this is purely a matter of perspective, not an actual cosmic event.

    Experts assure that Saturn’s rings remain fully intact and will gradually become visible again as the planet continues its orbit. Events like this occur roughly every 15 years and offer a unique opportunity for researchers to study the rings’ structure. Stargazers are encouraged to observe the event during clear skies, as the optical illusion provides a stunning reminder of the dynamic nature of our solar system.
