Foreign auto makers have found it difficult to succeed in India. Ford's exit is just the latest in a series of departures. Companies like General Motors, Volkswagen-owned MAN Trucks and even iconic motorbike maker Harley Davidson have been among the firms that have stopped manufacturing in India in recent years. Earlier this year, Japanese motor industry giant Nissan decided to pull its small car brand Datsun out of the country because of poor sales. While GM and Harley Davidson have said these decisions were part of their global strategic shift from certain markets, analysts also point to lacklustre revenues and lack of economies of scale in India. India is still seen as a car market with great potential but sales have plunged to a decade low due to a slowdown in economic growth, weak labour markets, higher fuel prices and pandemic-related disruptions. The country's passenger vehicle market has stagnated for the last half a decade at around 3 million units a year. In China, on the other hand, more than 20 million cars are bought annually.

7 years of Sairat (29/04/2016)

"After the release of the Sairat, three families in Mumbai reconciled, including that of Sachin Lokhande. He had waited for 12 years for his Muslim girlfriend's family to agree to their marriage. However, after watching Sairat, his parents finally approved of their marriage. The film's fans also formed an organization called the Sairat Marriage Group, with almost 100 volunteers across Maharashtra. This group aimed to assist runaway couples who were facing similar issues due to caste or religion differences."

Sairat is a Marathi-language romantic tragedy film released in 2016. Directed by Nagraj Manjule and produced by himself under his banner Aatpat Production along with Nittin Keni and Nikhil Sane under Essel Vision Productions and Zee Studios. The film stars Rinku Rajguru and Akash Thosar in their debuts and tells the story of two young college students from different castes who fall in love, leading to conflict between their families.

Manjule conceived the story in 2009, based on his own experiences of caste discrimination, but abandoned it when he found it uninteresting. He returned to the story after making Fandry (2013) and completed its script in the following year. Manjule wrote the screenplay, while his brother Bharat wrote the dialogues.

The film was shot in Manjule's village, Jeur in Karmala Taluka of Solapur district in Maharashtra. Sudhakar Reddy Yakkanti was the director of photography, and Kutub Inamdar edited the film.

Although this is the first time #MeToo movement has touched the world of Hindustani classical music, many say this reckoning was overdue. While many classical musicians say retaining the rigours of the teacher-student relationship is fundamental to learning the ancient form, several others said that there was still a need to recognise that it's an easy vehicle for exploitation. "The guru (teacher) expects complete submission, complete subservience from the student," said Neela Bhagwat, a 79-year-old vocalist. "If it's a male student the surrender is less. If it's a female student, the surrender is more. I think this makes female students very vulnerable," she said. Bhagwat said she often composed her own lyrics because of the inherent misogyny in traditional compositions.

Arnab Goswami: An absentee reporter | Twitter went into a veritable meltdown after journalist Rajdeep Sardesai called out his ex-colleague and Republic TV editor Goswami for ostensibly fibbing about being present in Gujarat during the Godhra riots. His repertoire from the field is so slender, that it appears he has had to fabricate one, writes Nikhil Inamdar. #newslaundry #lies #Annan #goswami #caricature #nationwantstoknow

Estimates suggest that Indian private equity and venture capital firms are woefully dependent on global money - Indian capital only accounts for 5% of their funds, Gopal Jain, managing partner at a private equity firm, told a local TV channel. In a post Covid-19 world, when money is scarce, this figure will have to go up to at least 30 to 40%, he reckoned. That will determine whether India can create its next 30 unicorns without any Chinese investments.

So, where will Indian start-ups find alternative capital? “Given the large presence of the Chinese, it may be difficult for funds from other jurisdictions to immediately fill their shoes,” said Atul Pandey, a partner at a law firm which represents Chinese investors in India. The standoff has already spurred some uncertainty. Dealmakers say that funding rounds involving Chinese investors closed faster than those with Western companies. And more important, Indian start-ups had hoped to emulate and learn from the mobile-first evolution of the Chinese market so they could follow the same trajectory. So the unexpected and quick decoupling with China's tech giants has undoubtedly caught many off guard. But strategic investors from other parts of the world will eventually return post-Covid-19, even if the Chinese don’t, experts say. They point to the fact that India is still the largest market for internet companies with China closed off for years. And during the coronavirus lockdown, India attracted nearly $20bn in foreign capital from Silicon Valley companies like Google and Facebook, and global private equity giants such as AIDA, KKR and General Atlantic. But most of that money went to billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s telecoms venture, Jio Platforms, and not to fledgling start-ups. So India may have to create domestic capital to fill the void left by China.

A decade ago, Chinese investment in India was negligible. But data from start-up research firm Tracxn shows that 35 Chinese corporations and 85 venture capital and private equity firms have invested over $4bn in major Indian start-ups including PayTM, Snapdeal and Swiggy since 2010. Chinese investment into India as a share of foreign direct investment has more than doubled during this period, from 5% to 11%.

“The government will not apply a blanket ban - what it will do is create a degree of uncertainty about regulations such that start-ups themselves find it too cumbersome to solicit or take on Chinese investments beyond a point,” said Dr Jabin T Jacob, a professor of international relations at Shiv Nadar University. Experts also say that rather than disentangling existing investments, the government will redirect focus to keeping telecom giants like Huawei at bay during India’s 5G trials. It's unclear what thresholds will be imposed on Chinese investment, but it's unlikely that ownership above 10% by a single conglomerate, and 25% by a venture capital firm, will be permitted without government approval.
