With inflation running at a three-year high and the country's AI-driven chip exports posting their fastest growth since 1978, South Korea's central bank decided the moment had come to tighten policy — even as the same semiconductor boom fueling that decision has been sending Korean chip stocks into wild daily swings
the Indian diaspora is moving from the periphery of trade discussions to the centre of them. From the UK's social security arrangements to the UAE's golden visa programme, India is embedding its global community into trade policy as a structural asset—not just a sentimental link.

Rusk Media was founded in 2019. It makes content that a Gen Z audience watches on a phone, not a TV — scripted fiction, unscripted formats, vertical dramas, live entertainment, a talent reality franchise, and a dating show. It built its own platform. It built an advertising business. And it just raised ₹100 crore from the company behind Candy Crush licensing in India, the investor behind Zomato and PolicyBazaar, and one of India's most active VC firms.
Tamil Nadu is entering 2026 with one of the most ambitious deep-tech strategies in India. With the launch of India's first dedicated Deep Tech Startup Policy, a ₹100 crore funding plan, and TRL-based structured support, the state is building a full-stack ecosystem — from R&D to global scale. At Umagine TN 2026, the state secured ₹9,820 crore in fresh investment commitments across AI, fintech, healthcare, SaaS, and digital infrastructure. But the real story isn't just about money—it's about quantum computing access for startups, a ₹54.6 crore i-TNT Hub at Anna University, and a new reality show called 'Startup Thamizha'.

The DOJ alleges that Sharma submitted 11 fraudulent H-1B visa petitions with forged executive signatures and fabricated documents, then concealed his misconduct when applying for citizenship in 2017. As the Trump administration signals a "zero-tolerance policy" toward immigration fraud, the case has sent shockwaves through the Indian diaspora and raised urgent questions about the fragility of the American Dream.
